St. Tuall, Miss L - T. Thompson and Lizzie Kuhn, three charming young ladies from Biloxi, were among the visitors at the Bay last Sunday. (SCE/10/08/1892)
Saloons - Of much concern to parents, wives, churchmen, and city officials in 1896 were the "Blind Tigers" or illegal saloons operating to avoid paying taxes and license fees. Using bootleg liquor in many instances, these lawbreakers were condemned but popular. Editorials calling for enforcement of laws were run. Warnings to customers were printed.
A solution to the every generation worry about the roamings of young people at night was tried in the form of "Curfew laws." These threatened arrest if young people were found out on the streets after 9 p. m. Boys were warned and parents too about the evils that dwell in the dark hours.
Baseball as the place to work off energy in playing or as a spectator was very popular. A baseball Park was built at Bay St. Louis in March of 1897 with Spotorno's Mill getting the contract for the lumber.
Bicycles were the proud possession by work or good behavior of everyone. Only difficulties provided was the desire to "scorch" or "speed" to the danger of dogs, chickens, people and the rider. ("The Sea Coast Echo", Bay St. Louis, Miss., Nov. 21, 1896, Feb. 6, March 20, 1897) (MJS VII 00560)

Olivari, Mr. L., whose general merchandise store was formerly known as "SPOTORNO & CO.", furnished the first food for one of the most disastrous conflagrations in the history of Bay St. Louis at about half past four o'clock this morning, as it was here where the fire was given birth. The fire created loses that can and never will be correctly estimated, owing to the vastness of the destructive powers of the angry, rushing flames.
The origin is not known, but there is every indication to believe it the work of an incendiary. Fanned by the strong wind the fire had soon gained considerable headway and it was plainly evidenced that the entire front square was doomed. An alarm was soon turned in and the fire department and our citizens were prompt to respond and to battle the flames. It was a hard struggle, but after repeated efforts all was consumed that was in the doomed path, the fire was controlled. Assistance from New Orleans was telegraphed for and two engines from that city were on the way to the Bay but were sent back when the fire was controlled. Mr. Mat Fahey is deserving of much praise and credit for his kindness and thoughtfulness in sending his bridge gang to the scene. This assistance was very valuable.
This fire has left more than one penniless and homeless, and the president of St. Stanislaus college is out this morning with a subscription list for the benefit of the unfortunate. The list is headed by the college with one hundred dollars cash. The following is a list of the properties totally destroyed:
L. Olivari, one frame store, and warehouse buildings and two cottages. Valued at $35,000; well insured.
