Il have found my way across pathless
prairies where had never been before,
and even through the tangled mazes Of
a chaparral thicket, without getting
lost, but l never come to a strange city
without getting absolutely bewildered,"
said Mr.. H. Nj. Barker of New Mexico.
Il have been 70 Washington at least
dozen times in the past three years, and
yet it is just rs strange to me now, aft
er sojourn of two weeks, as it was the
first time l ever set foot in the district.
If l get one block away from my hotel I
lose my reckoning, and find myself
wondering continually whether I am
going toward the capitol or in the di-
rection Of the treasury. l get sore with
myself for being SO slow to find my
bearings, but hear other men owning
up to the same difficulty. 1t certainly
ia queer that there should be such
difference between people, for know
plenty of men that can go anywhere
they choose in city few hours after
landing in it, but take them ont into

Auburn street. The house is still occu-
pied by Mrs. Burnett and other members
of the Lowell family. If it ever passes
out of their ownership it is hoped that it
will be bought as part of the proposed
memorial, thus uniting the house in which
much of Lowers work was performed
with the trees and grounds that he loved,
Elmwood is but five minutes walk fur
ther out Brattle street from the university
grounds than Craigie House, the home of
Longfellow. Happily enough, this fine
old place, almost as conspicuous for its his
torical as for its literary significance has
been marked by pretty garden, which will
keep forever open the view across the
Charles river meadows which the poet
loved. When part of Elmwood is set
aside two of Cambridge's shrines will thus
be marked for all time. In connection
with this, it may be of general interest to
mention that the home of Francis Park
man is to be preserved in the Boston Park
system, and that the birthplace of Whittier
is in all probability safe from the ruthless
hands of the iconoclasts.

President Refuses TO RescLnd OIney's
order,


President Mckinley has refused to order
the repeal of Secretary Olneys order of
Oct. 2l, 1896, foroidding consuls from TAX
ing fees for attesting invoices, so that Will
liam Mckinley Osborne, at London, ex-
Private Secretary James Boyle, at Liver
pool, and President McKinley's other ap-
pointees in British dominions, where con-
suls have in the past made so much mon
ey out of invoice fees, will not get rich out
of them. The new schedule of consular
fees issued yesterday was prepared by Mr..
Chiffon, chief of the consular bureau, as
the result of the inspection of consulates
on which he was sent by Secretary Olney,
and besides consolidating 1876 classes of Of
fetal fees into 81, mostly relating to serv-
ices of vessel owners and seamen, increases
these fees about 100 per cent, while nota-
rial and unofficial fees are also doubled,
with provisO that "fees for taking depo-
sitons, executing judicial commissions
and other unofficial business, are subject
to agreement with the parties in interest"
The purpose of the increase in fees is to
improve the compensation of the numer-
Gus officers IN the consular service who are
now insufficleutly paid,

President Mckinley has shown that he
is man of convictions and courage. In
the face of ncessant clamor for spoils and
presentation of claims for recognition for
political service he has issued an order
modifying the civil ser, ice rule in the di.
rection of throwing safeguards around re-
movals from Office. The change is de-
scribed as "the most distinct step forward
that has been made in the civil service reg
ulations since the passage of the original
law"
