What you’re looking at

The main cartoon depicts **Mrs. Suburban** entertaining guests in her parlor, offering them "commutation-tickets from New York" and a "pass for the Pan-American." The satire targets wealthy suburban residents who ostentatiously display their travel privileges and cosmopolitan access to impress social visitors—treating railroad passes as status symbols of leisure and sophistication. The surrounding text includes commentary on various topics: Edison's automobile innovations, railroad corporations, and Bismarck's love letters. The "Put Me Off at Buffalo" section discusses Buffalo's ambitions to rival Chicago and the Paris Exposition through development and tourism promotion. The humor relies on mocking nouveau-riche social pretension and the performance of upper-class status through displays of travel access rather than genuine cultural refinement.

How shall we class Aguinaldo, now that he has sworn allegiance to us? Whitewashed, per- haps. DISON is going to undertake to “ rev- olutionize” the auto- mobile—which doubt- less will include fixing it so it can’t revolu- tionize itself whenever it happens to strike an obstacle worth taking a fall out of.

Pan-American, mum?” 1 WAS NOT in the international dispute over the Chinese indemnities, but merely in a local police-court case, that the plaintiff (colored) asked for a warrant for the arrest of the defendant (ditto) on a charge of “atro- geous, scan‘lous, an’ remedial activities.” AS REGARDS the somewhat acrimonious misunderstanding between the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst and the Hon. Thomas C. Platt, JUDGE'S sym- pathies incline to the latter; because, while Parkhurst receives a fat salary for being good, Platt has to be good for nothing. eee THE MUCH-ADVERTISED Gainsborough portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire has been picked up by J. Pierpont Morgan for a trifle of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. Now let Edwin Markham write a poem “after seeing” it, and Mrs. Jarley’s Waxworks will have to take a back seat as the Barnumized art-wonder of the age. eee N ODD yet characteristic compliment to that ablest living Afro-Amer- ican, Booker T, Washington, the founder of the Tuskegee Institute, is paid by a Southern Bourbon neighbor of his, who says: “ Now, when I meet the man who has done all this I can’t call him * Booker,’ like I would an ordinary nigger; but, by thunder! I can’t call a nigger ‘Mr.,’ so I just say ' Professor. ALL SHE WANTED.

BUCKLEY'S NEWS “SCOOP.” Oe JAMAICA GINGER as an American intoxicant is rivaled only by apple-jack,” declares the Rev. Dr. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, We are frequently moved to wonder how our esteemed pious contemporaries manage to ferret out such weird and significant facts. They publish items of information that cannot be found anywhere else. BY GUM! HEWING-GUM advertised as a preventative of seasickness strikes one at first as a novelty. Yet, come to think of it, if you have ever rolled and rattled through old Virginia—on the Chesapeake & Ohio line, for instance—you will remember that the train-boys always ply a thriving trade in that jaw-wrenching commodity; and hardened old land-salts, by keeping up a steady “chaw,” are able to travel the whole length of the bounding billowy line without a qualm. NOT IDLE TEARS. [x FAMINE-STRICKEN INDIA the testimonial tribute of the com- bined population, native and European, to the memory of the late Queen Victoria, is taking a singularly appropriate and noble form. The money raised is to be put into hn elaborate system of irrigation works by which water can be transported to the most drought-afflicted sections of the country, thereby remedying the princi- pal cause of the awful famines. Rarely are tears of mourning di- verted to so practical a means of permanent blessing. BISMARCK’S LOVE-LETTERS. **M\Y BELOVED M NAN,” “An- gela Mia,” “My Heart,” ovanna Mia,” “ Only Beloved,” “My Dear Heart,” ‘Chere et Bonne,” and * Dearest, only Beloved Juanita, Better Half of Myself,” are a few of the pet names by which Bismarck addressed Johanna von Puttka- mer in his courtship correspondence, lately published. Of course she could. not resist, so they were married; and then, miradbile dictu! he kept right on with the same charm- ing kind of letters through nearly half a century of wedded life. This is the rare ro- mance which we find, not in fiction nor in the so-called historical novels, but in the actual lives of the world’s great men. “PUT ME OFF AT BUFFALO.” LL THE RAILROADS lead there. From this date, and for the next six months to come, the Mecca of Americans, as well as of foreign tour- ists in America, will be Buffalo. The western metropolis of the Empire State throws open the portals of her great Pan-American Exposition to welcome the world. Her preparations for this event have been wise, thor- ough, deliberate, and on a truly magnifioznt scale. As a result, she now offers a display epitomizing the products and the progress—artistic, indus- trial, scientific, educational—of the Western Continent, which is all the Americas. In some essential regards this display, which has cost an outlay of ten millions, will surpass the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 and the Paris Universal Exposition of last year, having the advantage of their ex- perience to profit by, in the success of the one no less than in the compar- ative failure of the other. Besides, Buffalo can present the grand, unique and incomparable spectacle of Niagara! The. eternal cataract, the sub- limest and most beautiful known to man, is here, its rainbow mist en- wreathing all, its deep diapason blending in urdertone with the murmur of human voices, echoing in the profoundest depths of cosmic heart and soul. comicbooks.com
