quite as we'll as that of her illustrious hus-
band. When she entered the White house she
peremptorily refused to return social calls.
At first her attitude made great stir, and she
was warmly criticised for this apparently I'M
republican fashion. She was charged with
initiating royalty, but she held to the point
and soon the country began to go her way.
1t was then perceived that Mrs. Monroe was
perfectly right and this custom 'of the presi-
dents wife returning no calls has been MAIN
tanned to the present day. In fact, her re-
form led to set of White house rules on ETH
quette that yet stick. Mrs. Monroe spent ten
years of her life in Europe. Her daughters
were educated in France. Eliza, the elder,
was a classmate of Hortense de Beauharnais,
afterward Napoleon's wife. Mrs. Monroe's
sister married Nicholas Gouverneur and their
son married the presidents younger daughter
Maria. Mrs. Monroe a beautiful girl, a
noble wife, a rare mother. She died in 1880.

PREMIUM ON GOLD BARS.

Government Takes Action to Prevent
Their Export.
!. WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The treas.
ury department has instructed the New
York subtreasury to raise the premium
on gold bars from lie to 3-l6 Of per
cent, The department. proposes in the
issuapapof this order to do what can be
doher legiiimately to prevent future ex-
ports OF gold. The order has triple
purpose. First, it will tend to raise the
price at which gold can be exported
profitably, the price of exchange now
being dangerously near the export
point; second, it is regarded as
good policy to get rid Of coin, instead
of bars, because the former frequently
have lost weight through abrasion, and
third, it is intended to meet the action
the Bank of England has recently
taken, raising the price of gold bars to
~ shillings 10 pence. and thus prac-
tically lowering the rate of exchange at
which gold can be shipped from the
United States to Great Britain to about
$4.S8 or - 884. Treasury officials ad-
NIT the issuance Of the order, but will
not talk further concerning it.
