Paris Art Exposition Showcases French American Masters

Paris hosts annual private club expositions with 164 paintings and sculptures from the Place Vendome and True Volney groups. Works by Boulanger, Duran, Gerome, Sargent, Whistler, and others draw praise, with portraits and exotic scenes including a notable full-length by Carolus Duran. Victor Hugo’s 83rd birthday crowds and tributes from international figures accompany regional notices of deaths, fires, property losses, pension updates, and land deals in Wisconsin.

Peleg Kenyon's Fortune and the Moral Burden of Wealth

In Hartrorp Connecticut, Peleg Kenyon, a 60 year old bachelor, dies in Griswold leaving an $750,000 fortune. The tale recounts his ascent from a Boston machinist to a wealthy but ostracized recluse who stole $105,000, fled to his old home, paid off a Boston merchant to avoid trial, and returned to amass real estate and mortgages while his mother urged him to make his pile. He died alone in front of a treasure chest, the burden of ill gained wealth weighing on his life.
