A (mostly) daily posting for those interested in history and the day to day news, politics and culture of a bygone world; the full edition of the New York Tribune from today's date in 1896 (digitized).
(Excerpt) Read more at chroniclingamerica.loc.gov ...
If you want on or off the ping list for the daily newspaper from 120 years ago, drop me a line, either here or by FReep mail. The rate is 23 cents per week (3 cents for the dailies and a nickel for Sunday).
Bush’s fault.
Women and children hardest hit.
Did President McKinley cancel everything and rush to Atlantic City with his collar open and sleeves rolled up so he could be photographed looking “presidential”?
100 years ago, sometime in 1896, my grandfather who lived in Ipswich, England was 14 years old and stole a chicken..
He was arrested but got some type of probation...
I don’t know if the family were hungry or he did it to impress a girl or his friends etc...
a few years earlier and he would have been transported to Aussie...
Yikes !!!
What page are the comics on? Where’s the sports page? Advice column? Home and garden section? You call this a paper?
Thanks for posting this.
For those contemplating travel abroad, I draw your attention to the anticipated sailing on Aug 13 at 7 AM of the SS Augusta Victoria of the Hamburg Amerika Line which is equipped with every modern convenience and luxury (for the First Cabin passengers of course). See pg 11 for the sailing lists. Passage for 1st Cabin (Saloon) at $60 gold and up. 2nd Cabin $45 and up. Ports of call Portsmouth, Cherbourg with dedicated express trains to London & Paris, and Hamburg.

and a video galnce at this late 19th century trans-Atlantic liner.
Ooops. Portsmouth = Plymouth
Accident
A train consisting of five cars left Atlantic City over the West Jersey Railroad bearing a special excursion of members of the Improved Order of Red Men and their friends
Never heard of them. Another link:

Apparently both Presidents Roosevelt and President Harding were members.
You learn something new everyday.
Sorry no comics. Sports on pg 8, advice and home and garden are typically found in the Sunday edition.
When I was a kid I had a Rhode Island Red hen that I raised from a chick. Named her Henrietta. LOL
She was very gentle and would follow me around. :)
$60.00 is a bargain.
I had a hen named Henrietta too !!!
But my fav was named Matilda...
Matilda would crouch down and let me pick her up and carry her around the chicken yard...
She would relax her head back against my shoulder...
Henrietta didn’t let me pick her up but she did sometimes let me pet her...
well until Matilda would come arunnin and drove her off...
:)
When I was that age, we got a chick on Easter and named it Henry. As Henry got older, we realized he was a she, so we renamed him Henrietta. One day, Henrietta disappeared and I never saw her again. The chicken we had for dinner a few nights later was mighty tasty, but they never told me the real story until much later.
Ha..what a coincidence, Nana!
(both having pet hens with the same name)
I never forgot my ‘Henrietta’. She was so cute!
She’d follow me around and let me pick her up and love on her. :)
Of the 70 injured, all of them eventually died.
So... what ultimately happened to your Henriettas... the usual? I would think that’s why you’re not supposed to name farm animals...
