A Republican Warning on Pennsylvania Politics
The piece argues that the last Pennsylvania legislature corrected faults, with 532 Senate bills and 1,021 House measures offered, 409 enacted, 86 vetoed by the governor, and 24 percent becoming law. It defends Republicans, blasts Democrats and Bryanism, notes McKinley’s presence at Philadelphia, and cautions voters about reform efforts and foreign policy issues, including Cuba and peace talks.

Danish method to preserve meat by bleeding and salt infusion
A Danish scientist proposes a meat preservation technique focusing on blood removal. The animal is stunned rather than killed, a knife opens the heart ventricle to drain blood, then salt solution is pumped through the ventricle into the veins. Meat has been kept for three months using this method, claiming fewer objections than other blood removal methods.
