The folks at #NewspapersDotCom have sent out a not-so-subtle message on social media.

Dictators hate to be ignored-- especially on their special days.

Remember to avoid posting about his parade on social media. Try not to interact with people who post about it. Keep the focus (and the algorithm) on things that will take the air out of his balloon, like #NoKingsDay #protests -- and pictures of #dogs .

"She Had an Affair with Her Bicycle Instructor Because Her Husband Snored"

The divorce of Samuel Freligh (b.1852 NY) and his wife Mary Miller was salacious enough to warrant several newspaper articles in 1900 NY City.

It seems that Mary was accused of having an affair with a "Bicycle Instructor," and was tired of her husband's loud snoring. When the Judge gave his ruling on the case, daughter Ida (who had sided with her mother during the proceedings) began to yell in protest and had to be removed from the courtroom.

Daughter Ida later became a #Burlesque actress in the theatre.

Samuel Freligh (b. 5 Sept 1852 NY, d. 29 Nov. 1929 NY)
Mary Miller/Muller (b. abt.1858 NY, d. 28 June 1934 NYC)
m. 28 Sept 1873 King's County, NY

Children:
Ida (1885-1972, m. Leroy Smith)
Charles Penamen (1879-1935, m. Mildred Barrett)

The Faraday kidnappings were mentioned in the background during my childhood (I grew up near-ish to Faraday) but I never knew much about what happened and thought it had something to do with bushrangers.

In this episode we read through newspaper articles from the time and discuss the event and its lasting impact on schools in Victoria.

Gerard and Celeste (from the podcast Stamps Aren't Cool) came on In Those Days to talk about their un-mutual love of stamps.

We read newspaper articles on stamps and relationships from #Trove. We learned a lot about stamps, the people who love them, & the people who love the people who love them.
