MODERN TOWNS ON
SITE ANCIENT CITY

CORINTH, Greece March 9.-(Wm.
e. Curtis in Chicago Record-Hefald;
"As beautiful as a Greek shepherd
used to be a favored phrase with writ
ers of romance, but l doubt if those
who used it had ever seen one, for
the ideal Greek shepherd is not visi-
BILE to the ordinary eye. The men
who tend the flocks are stupid, filthy
looking fellows, with blank faces, mat
ted boards and clothing that appar-
emily has never seen laundry The
ancient Greek was all right on stat
uary and Architecture. That we
know by evidences that have been
found under the soil of his country.
but the modern Greek lives in house
that is comfortless, unclean and dis
NAL, with no evidences of beauty or
taste or culture. 1t needs white
wash, chloride of lime and carbolic
acid although it is claimed by many
that his mind is as well trained and
his intellect is as strong and active
as those of his prototype who lived
twenty centuries ago.
In passing through the railway
towns and the. "currant country" ma
ture alone is lovely. Everything else
seems stricken with poverty and ne
glect.
The men who hang around the rail
way station seem to be Indifferent
to their condition and do not inspire
either respect or admiration, although
their conversational powers seem to
be we'll developed and nearly every
one of them carried string of beads,
not to say his prayers, but to occu-
py his hands while he was talking.
They are aids to conversation. Mem
bers of parliament use them when
they are making speeches. | never
heard that Demosthenes required any
such auxiliary to eloquence, but am
assured that the activity of the brain
is increased as well as the fiuency OF
the tongue by lingering them.
Old Corinth. that st. Paul visited
so frequently and which was one of
the most important, luxurious, I'M
moral and enterprising cities of his
day, is dead and buried Buttercups
and dandelions are growing upon It's

that decorate the praires of Kansas or
the dooryards of New England. The
buttercup is not so large or so beau

it gives one home feeling to find
it everywhere-a universal flower

COMING
WEEK IN
CONGRESS-

WASHINGTON, May 3.-After the
District of Columbia business Monday
the house will begin consideration of
the omnibus bill admitting Oklahoma.
Arizona. and New Mexico to state
hood. There is said to be opposi-
tion from some Republicans on &C
count of the fear that two of these
territories, if admitted, will send
Democrats to the senate. But the
platform pledges admission and it
is expected the bill will pass the
house. The senate will be looked to
to hold it up quietly but effectively.
The next bill for consideration is
the measure allowing the secretary of
state to give passports to inhabitants
of the insular possessions affordins
them the same protection as native
Americans.
Third is the bill providing for the
coinage of subsidiary coins from bull
lion set apart for coinage of silver
dollars. Democrats say the measure
would cause a cessation of coinage of
oliver dollars.
The anti-anarchy bill may come up
late in the week.
In the senate Spooner , Lodge and

CHARLEY
JOHNSON'S
BOOMERANG

There was general Indignation
among the teachers this morning
when informed of the article In the
Democrat signed by Chas. A. John
son, and no time was lost in circulat-
ing petition, unknown to Prof.
Downs or any one connected with
the school board, which was signed
by the teachers whose names are at
tached, with pleasure. Mr.. Rodeck-
er, Miss Knight and Miss Seybold are
out of the city but it Is known they
would sign the refutation If they
| were here, as one of them was desir-
GUS of circulating petition some
days ago when the undermining work
started. The statement of the teach
ers is as follows:
We, the undersigned. teachers in
the public schools of Durango wish
to take exception to the very unfair
statement made in the morning DEM
ocrat over the signature of Charles
A. Johnson, in regard to the follow
ing. to-wit: I'm my opinion his course
has been high-handed and overbear-
ing with those under him, both teach
er and pupil, and when patrons have
complained he has laid the blame up
on those under teachers who simply
and dssimulation has too often mark
ed his course in dealing with his
teachers. Both teachers and pupils
have lost independence of thought
and action and have gone covering
to school and relievedly from it."
In contradiction to the above we
wish to state that in our opinion
tenn in vogue in our public schools,
and while insisting upon its being
literally carried out, yet he treats his
teachers with dignity and courtesy.
and we know him to be a most tire
less worker to attain high stand
ard for our schools. and that he at all
times upholds his deserving teachers.

HARD WORK
TELLING ON
ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The presi-
dent is showing signs of hard work
and has decided to take things little
easier. This morning arrangements
were made to spend a good part of
the spring and summer at Deer Park,
Virginia, and the family will be sent
down at once. Mrs. Roosevelt and
young Theodore left last night. Alice
and the maids left today. The presl-
dent expects to go Monday and spend
part Of the week. 1t is whispered
about that Mrs Roosevelt will stop
all entertainments on account of the
expected coming of the stork this
summer The White house today is
practically deserted and will not like
ly be socially occupied again for a
long time. The president himself
has suffered from the strain of Off.
cial business.
