The Long Neglect of General Morgan's Grave in Winchester
An essay laments Virginia's neglect of Revolutionary War hero General Daniel Morgan, his grave at Mount Hebron in Winchester, and the need for proper national recognition. It recalls Morgan's riflemen at Cowpens and Saratoga, his battles in Guilford Court House and the South, and calls for a dedicated memorial by patriotic groups to honor his loyalty and valor.

Advances in Science and Transport in 1904
Notable progress spans steam turbine use on trans Atlantic liners, with the Allan Line and Cunard Line deploying new ships like Victoria and Carmania to demonstrate efficiency and speed. American rail advances include the Twentieth Century Limited at 54.3 mph and other routes shaving three days coast to coast. Aeronautics show limited gains with Wright Bros flights and experiments by Ludlow and Montgomery. The Simplon tunnel nears completion under electric operation. Amundsen pursues polar aims, Peary's Roosevelt ship progresses, and Magellan-like discoveries remain scarce. Catarrh cure touts Hall's remedy with testimonials and a money back guarantee.

Notorious Ringing Scandals Shake American Tracks
Ralph Tozer reviews a sprawling ringers case era where Ben A. Chilson of Ukiah and Thomas T. Cromwell of Pine Bluff were ruled off for life after a vast conspiracy centered on The Fiddler and McNamara. The scheme spanned Emeryville, Butte, New Orleans, and Deeth with Pinkerton, Forsee, and Jockey Club stewards coordinating the crackdown, revealing a multi-year pattern of theft from bookmakers and horse theft, with huge poolroom losses across Nevada and California.
