Man Chanter sane in Virginia yet insane in New York

The story follows John Armstrong Chanler, once Virginia estate owner and New York congressman, who was deemed sane in Virginia after a six month alienist test but treated as a potential madman in New York. The article traces his escape from an asylum, legal battles, and eventual return to freedom at Merry Mills, Cotham, Virginia, with references to his social connections and past marriage.

Right Uncle on the Job in a Hotel of Hectic Children

A midland observer recalls a month at a distant all year hotel with 600 adults and about 299 children. Most mothers offered little control, as boys slapped mothers, kicked shins, and hurled toys at staff. A western uncle later disciplined three unruly nephews with firm, public restraint, provoking mixed reactions from guests and mothers alike.

Manager recalls wild intertown baseball tale from Muttville

A veteran manager recalls a chaotic season with the Aletown Arrows where raw players proved unpredictable, with frantic sluggers, wild misplays, and a peculiar race to complete games. He contrasts their style with the Melons, a showman led team whose runners and fielding produced chaos on the diamond and a surreal game ending.

Police Business and a Telephone Lesson

A Newark Evening Star excerpt shows a station moment where a caller seeks use of the police phone. Clerks joke the line is for police business only until a bell rings and a constable answers. A bystander hopes not to offend, while a booster asks for the score of a ball game and the chat drifts to domestic anecdotes.
