@rjblaskiewicz maidens and orphans preferred.

Because no one will come looking for them?

@josh0

It might as well say, "Totally not a serial killer."

@rjblaskiewicz was the ad placed by H. H. Holmes?
@josh0 It's pretty close to the right time. LOL
@rjblaskiewicz was he still active in 1899? It’s been a while since I’ve read about him.
@rjblaskiewicz ah, nope. Executed in 1896.

@rjblaskiewicz

Yeah, but, but, he has "books, papers, music" . . . . uh-oh, "orphans"? Okay, I'm out.

@forestfern

Yeah, that stuck out to me as well. It's got a whole, "volcano worshiper seeks real virgins" vibe.

@rjblaskiewicz Nothing like making the hackles stand up over 125 years later. Wish we could know who this fellow was, I bet his life was interesting.
