The historical excerpts from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle highlight significant events occurring on specific days in 1891, 1905, 1908, and 1915. Newfoundland's proposal for free fishing bait to Americans contrasted with higher costs for Canadians, reflecting the tensions of the time. In 1905, concerns arose among Panama Canal employees facing potential job losses due to reorganization. The anecdote from 1908 describes a humorous incident where police responded to a call but found only a dog instead of a distress situation. Lastly, the announcement in 1915 of a new charter for New York City suggests administrative changes.
"Newfoundland proposes to revenge herself on the home government by giving Americans free fishing bait and making Canadians pay for it."
"The high salaried officers and employees of the Panama Canal Company are in a state of terror. They fear that they will all lose their jobs in the coming reorganization of the office."
"They found only a fox terrier dog. He was whimpering at his failure to catch the market cat he had been chasing."
"The City of New York is to have a new Charter."
