PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD TO SENATOR WORKS FINDS FAULT ERECT 17-STORY STRUCTURE , WITH TENDENCY TO PRINT IN SEVENTH AVENUE. SENSATIONAL NEWS. Announcement Made at Dinner of Eastern DiYision of the A. A. C. A. —Will Cost with Land $2,800,000 —Proceedings of the Annual Con¬ ference—Reports of Committees —Abolition of Division’s Dividend. The conference of the Eastern Divi¬ sion of the A. A. C. of A. held at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, on Friday, .‘\pril 11, was a successful demonstration of the practical results that may be achieved by the divisional or intermedi¬ ate organization between the national association and the local clubs. In the morning the several commit¬ tees held conferences, and at the after¬ noon sesjion the chairmen of the com¬ mittees made their reports. The most important topic discussed was a resolution submitted by W. C. i Freeman, of the Evening Mail, recom- j mending the abolishment of the Eastern i Division. Those who participated in the I discussion were Herbert S. Houston, i Harry Tipper, Carl C. Ackerman and H. J. Mahin. Those in favor of the resolution ar¬ gued that the division organizations were unnecessary and added to the cumbersomeness of the machinery of the national organization without in¬ creasing its efficiency, that they im¬ pose unnecessary burdens of work upon the committees and take up too much of the time of busy men; that many of of the advertising club organization would be increased immeasurably. He said that the subject of the aboli¬ tion of the division organization had been brought up at the meeting of the Executive Committee recently held in Baltimore. A commission was appoint¬ ed which, after due consideration, re¬ ported in favor of the abolition of the divisional organization. It was Mr. Coleman’s idea that the provision of the ELBERT H.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

Mary Kelly, a middle-aged mother from the Irish working class, had been a resident of the Jefferson Square refugee camp ever since a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and fires destroyed her city and her home in April. However, she often protested official relief methods. Because she refused to pay rent on her "earthquake cottage"--one of the many small homes constructed for refugees with the relief funds-- Lieutenant Henry T.

    ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE DAM-KEEPER’S HOUSE A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of A “3 the requirements for the Degree -20IQ, Master of Arts In V**2- Anthropology by David B. Daly San Francisco, California December 2016 221 Chapter 6: Domino Figure 36. Domino recovered from Level 5 of the dam-keeper house trash pit. Photo courtesy of Heritage Services, Stanford University. 222 Introduction If the working class lives of men like Duerst and Batchelder were prone to be lost to time, the interactions of the family within the home were even more ephemeral. The dam- keepers themselves left some record of their passage through life in the form of documentation related to their jobs, but the details of home life were largely unremarked upon in most permanent records. Through an imaginative window opened by a small number of artifacts in the families’ trash pit, however, we can begin to recapture the families’ leisure hours. These artifacts—found in Levels 5, 6, and 7, corresponding to the Batchelder family occupation—are hand-crafted from wood and bone, light and smooth in the hand, and part of a matching set: a set of dominoes. In this chapter, I examine the way in which the domino, even as it helps us to imagine the family’s leisure hours, also maintains an essential interpretive ambiguity for archaeological and historical interpretation and imagination. My analysis begins with a close look at the physical artifacts themselves, and a factual presentation of what we know about games of dominoes in late nineteenth-century America.

  • Hearst and Pearl Harbor a Memoir in 41 Parts
    Hearst and Pearl Harbor A Memoir in 41 Parts by Taylor Coffman Part 1 DAILY NEWSPAPERS routinely include a corrections box. This journalistic tradition goes way back; in fact, it originated more than a century ago in the better media. Never mind how the National Enquirer goes about its strange business. From The New York Times down to hundreds of other mainstream papers in this country, misspelled names or erroneous dates get corrected quickly, very often the next day. Freedom of the press is a basic American right, to be sure—but it’s also a serious matter of public trust, not to be lightly invoked. Magazines handle such matters differently. By appearing once a week or, in many instances, just once a month, their corrections tend to be stale when they finally appear. They do get published, though, if only “for the record.” With books it’s another story. In the realm of nonfiction a given edition of a biography or a historical work may have one appearance only, extending over many years before its backlog “sells through.” A good while ago my book about San Simeon called Hearst’s Dream was denounced by a nervous bureaucrat; and thus its lengthy ban in the Hearst Castle gift shop. Denied its main market, the first printing of 5,000 copies took 17 years to deplete, from 1989 to 2006. There was no feasible way to make updates to all those shrink-wrapped bundles, each comprising 10 copies. Not until about 2005 was it realistic to make any factual repairs before a second printing would finally be ordered.
