John Burroughs is having an article published in The Century and complains of The Outlook continuing to publish William J. Long’s absurd nature articles such as “Animal Surgery.” On behalf of the citizens of Kingston, New York, Burroughs invites President Roosevelt to attend the 250th anniversary of the town’s founding. There will also be a cornerstone ceremony at a home for homeless children.
