The wadsworth. LonsfeIlow House.

The citizens of Maine generally
should feel an interest and pride In Sc
curing. the Wadsworth- Longfellow
House to the Maine Historical Society.
The city should neither be asked or
expected to raise the entire fund
requisite for this purpose. Every COM
munity in our State should take a just
pr ide in doing it's full share in this
worthy work.
II is intended not only to keep this
historic cid building in the hands of the
Maine Historical Society. where it will
be perpetually available to the public,
but also to make it the repository OF
the society's invaluable collection OF
his toricai information. Here, too, it is
purposed to keep the books of the
Maine Loyal Legion, which is consid-
cred to be the best library on matters
pertaining TO the Civil War that can
be found in our State.
The boyhood home of the great Maine
poet, who did so much to reflect luster
upon his native State. should be pre-
served for all time with jealous care.
Ii is a work which should appeal with
strong force to the civic pride of our
State and if our citizens generally will
interest themselves in it there will be
no question Of it's success.

A Former Augusta Pastor.

In 1867 Alexander Mckenzie was
called to the pastorate of the First
Church, Cambridge, and there he has
ministered ever since, term of cleri-
cal service very unusual in these
times in it's length and influence. His
congrega ton and the people of Cam
bridge are to recognize this creditable
record this week by suitable social
exercises in which good fellowship will
abound and words of admiration be
spoken. OF late years DR.. Mckenzie
has travelled about among the Ameri-
can colleges for men and women
preaching to youth the message of OPP,
timism which always has been his,
and few men have done it with greater
acceptance by the students. His style
Of preaching is not a common one
now, having a vein of mysticism and
a rhetorical form which strike many
today as unreal. But it is q form OF
sermonizng which has been highly
thought of in the past, and doubtless
will be again. when the reaction comes
from the conversational, more direct
and practical methods which now OBJ
tain. With the blood of sea going an
cestors in his veins DIR. Mckenzie
has always had a tender spot in his
heart for the sailor and for Christian
work among sailors, and in this way
his ministry had been notable by his
bearing ever in mind the spiritual
needs. moral temptations and social
worth of the ever-increasing number
OF Americans who man our sea-going
and coastwise craft.-Boston Tram
script.
This is one of the many tributes
which the Boston papers are paying to
DIR. Mckenzie at this time while the
35th year of his Cambridge pastorate
is being observed. The only other
pastorate which he ever held was in
this city where he came in 1861 after
the completion of his studies at Har-
ward and Andover. He was the pastor
of the South Congregational church
in Augusta for six years and not one
who knew him or heard him In those
days of his young manhood has failed
to watch with loving interest his rise
to the position of great leader in his
denomination and in the American re-
ligious world. Augusta joins Cam
bridge in honoring him and extending
greetings.

The Need of a New Sehoolhouse m the

The Village District of this city is
saaIv in need of a new school building

pecially in the lower grades, are sadly
overcrowded The Journal has fire.

Iocation of the Grove street schoolhouse
IS entirely unsuited for school pur-
poses--especially where the pupils are
young children. We are confident that
the parents of the district are practi-
caIly a unit in taking this view of the
matter. There are probably larger
number of teams passing down Grove
street in the course of the day than go
on any other street in the city Practi-

A great deal of interest centres In
the cargo of blue gum timber which
has arrived at Dover, England. from
Australia. for the national harbor
works. Most of the baulks, or sticks
as they are termed, weigh as much as
10 tons each, and range between 100
feet and 200 feet long. This kind of
timber has been chosen for piling
work, owing to the fact that it will not
float, so that. in the event of the piles
being washed away in heavy gales
they go to the bottom. and there is no
danger of their ramming a ship like
ordinary baulks of timber.
