Clearing Sea of Derelicts Endangers Atlantic Shipping
The Navy Department faces the task of seeking out and destroying twenty seven ocean derelicts along lanes from Brandiago to Newfoundland. They endanger ships entering and leaving Atlantic ports as reports have been sent by arriving vessels. Previously torpedo boats were used but limited by availability and skill requirements. Congress provided a dedicated vessel, likely the Lebanon, for this special service at Portsmouth Navy Yard. Rev Mr Hopkins changes surname to Armstrong Hopkins to preserve identity of wife’s work. Hopkins and wife Saleni A Hopkins adopt Armstrong Hopkins.

Purinton the Gazing Prophet of Fasting and Kissing
New York preacher Edmund Earle Purinton, a youthful, cherubic speaker, addresses a room of women at Mrs. Edward M. Schley’s residence on West Seventeenth Street. He touts fasting to reach spiritual surges, claims perfection through self denial, and reads his erotic poems including a vaunted piece on “The Kiss.” The talk blends religious critique with bold sensual verses, drawing attention for its unorthodox methods and provocative rhetoric.
