James Russell Lowell was born IN
Cambridge. Feb %. 1919 His. literary
work Is too wol known to require men
tion. His experience in public life was
not extensive. Toward the close of 1874
Mr.. Lowell was offered the post of minis
ter to Russia, which he declined, but, In
1877 accepted that Of minister to Spain,
from which he was transferred in 1880 to
that of minister to Great Britain: On the
change OF administration in 1885, he re-
signed this position and returned to the
United States. The speeches which he
delivered in England were published in
1887 under the title Of Democracy and
Other Addresses. Though life long Re-
publican, Mr.. Lowell SUPPORTED the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Cleveland for reelection to
the presidency in 1883. During the slave
agitation prior to the civil war he was q
prominent advocate Of abolition, and had
been equally. outspoken in more recent
service. M. Lowell died at his homo
in Cambridge, where he was born, He
spent most Of his declining years with his
sister, Mrs. Burnett, at Deerfoot farm,
South Borough, Mass, and with his
grandchildren, whom he adored. Here he

Haydn's Dictionary Of Dates" makes
the statement that the old name Of the
city OF London was written Lynden OF
Llyndiu, meaning "the city on the lake" !"
An old tradition gives Us to understand
that London was founded by Brute, q
descendant Of Aneas, and called New
Troy, or Troynovant, until the time Of
Lud, who surrounded the town: with
walls and named II Caer.Lud, or Lud's
town. This latter Is probably the cor
rect version Of the story, if for no
other reason because 1t is an easy mat
tet to detect q similarity between the ex-
preston Lads town and London, Il y

city on the same spot 1,107 years B. O..
and It 10 known that the Romans found

Meets the 500 Rate.

M1NEEAPoL1s, Aug. 1.-THE Wiscon-
sin Central, as was expected, will meet
the round trip summer tourist rates to
Eastern points quoted by the 500 two
weeks ago. But inasmuch as the Soo's
round trip rates to several Eastern
points, notably Portland, Me-, are even
less than the round trip rate from Chi
cago, the Chicago lines cannot meet
them. Montreal is the only important
point which can be reached, the round
trip rate to that city via the SEQ being
$3.50. The Wisconsin Central will
meet this rate easily, as the rate from
Chicago Is $33. The result Of all this
will be that the 500 will again cut rates
to meet IS more. This will make the
round trip rates over the 500 less than
those from Chicago.
