IN C0RINTH'S RUINS.
Excavations Reveal a Stoa of the Greek
Period-Greek Inscriptions on a
Doric Column.

special to the New York Evening Post
from New Haven says:
Prof. II. Nj. Reynolds of Yale, secre-
tary of the managing committee OF the
American School of Classical Studies at
Athens, has received the report of Rufus
b. Richardson, director of the cxcava-
tons ut Corinth covering the first seven
weeks of the work this year.
Mr.. Richardson says that the work has
gone back from the former excavation
area up the hill on which stands the
Temple of Apollo, cleaning up the east
and west sides of the hill to bed rock.
One of the most important results has
been the discovery of a stoa running east
and west at the foot of he hill behind
the Vaulted rooms eXcavated last year.
The stoa undoubtedly is older than the
rooms and belonged to the Greek city,
while the rooms belonged to the Roman.
II has breadth of about &c feet. At it's
front Is a row OF Doric columns. Half way
between this and tho back wall is II line
of Ionic columns The stoa is badly
broken up, but the front stylobate is well
preserved. The length of the stoa is un-
known and is still being followed under
"a feet of earth, but it probably has a
minimum length of about III feet and may
De much longer. Other parts of the build
ing have been found, so that the restora-
ton OF the building on paper will be an
easy matter.
There have been found also, a large
quantity of vase fragments, old Corinth-
ian and Proto -Corirthian, with whole
vases of the latter style; several very
archaic and important terracotta fgur-
ines; additional parts of colossal figures
found two years ago, and a fine head OF
an Amazon from n high relief in Pentelic
marble. An important discovery was a
woman's gold ring, with a stone contain
Ing legend In raised letters, and an ar
chaic gem with horse. perhaps Pegasus
engraved upon 1t.
Mr.. Richardson says that perhaps the
most important of the single finds were
several Greek inscriptions Of considerable
antiquity, probably the oldest cut in the
tiuting of a Doric column which probably
bore a votive offering. The inscription
runs from right to left. Near n pavemen,
Of block chips a vase and fragments bore
letters of the fourth century b. c.
In the way Of original research Mr.. Bias
sett one of the fellows of the school, IL
working up the whole subject of ancient
lamps, and has had the benefit of the stud,
of the collection Of the Greek Ephor, MIR
Spias.

CHILDHOOD.

The little red schoolhouse, alone and for
OF all its fair freshness and beauty quite
shorn,
Still sits at the turn OF the road.
The holyhocks blossom along near the
wall
And the sunflowers, stately. majestic. and
tall,
Still cheerfully bear up their lead.
On sweet little girl, at her desk all
alone
The long fading RAYS of the last sunlight
shore.
Just tipping her fair hair with gold.
Through the window the sound of her pen
seemed to float,
And to mix with the humble bees deep,
As she traced DER her copybook old.
Outside, with his numbers and copies all
done.
And basking his brown feet and legs in
the sun,
a little boy sat on the fence.
His young face was sad, and incessant his
looks
To the schoolhouse were turned and away
from his books
AS he fingered his coat with its rents.
The schoolhouse door closed. and with
glances cast down
The little maid turned from his dark eyes
of brown,
Which seemed Ger her pale face to roam.
AS he stretched forth his hand, which
would Gerry her book,
She answered his smile with shyly sweet
Look
And they trudsed down the lane toward
her home.

Defeat for Legislative Reform.

The people of Vermont have direct in
terest in the rejection Of the constitutional
revision - the State of Connecticut on
Monday, for 1t involves a defeat for n leg
islativo reform somewhat similar to that
which has been proposed in our own COM
monwealth. The early Connecticut legis-
latures included two representatives, from
each town, but the constitution adopted in
ISIS provided that while every existing town
should continue to have the representa-
ton 1t then had. each new town should
have only one representative.
The result of this change was an anoma-
lous condition of affairs which has con-
tinued mp to the present time. Fifteen
towns with a population ranging from go
TO 300 have two repres entatives each
while a dozen towns having population
exceeding 1900 each have only one repre-
sentative each. In 1873 an attempt was
made to give the Senate a popular char
acter by providing for the election of SEN
ators by districts, but the manner in which
the system intended TO give equal repre-
sentation In the upper branch of the Log
islature operated can be seen from tho
fact that according to the census of 1900
one of the senatorial districts had "a pop.
uation of 1Os,W while another included
only 1855.
On the first day of the present year a
constitutional convention assembled for the
purpose of instituting reforms in Connecti-
cut, and as a result Of its deliberations
covering a period of four and one-half
months a revised constitution was, submit
ted to the people to be voted upon June 16.
The object of the constitutional convention
primarily was to institute a reform in leg
istive representation, the chief feature of
the measure submitted being a provision
for a senate of forty-five members. and a
house composed of one member from each
town of 1000 people. one additional for
towns having a population between 1000
and 5000 and one for each $4,000 thereafter
Other noteworthy provisions were those
giving the negro the right to demand equal
civil liberty with the American citizen; put
ting the appointment of judges of the courts
of common pleas in the hands of the COVER
nor instead Of the Legislature and making
constitutional amendments easy and the
cult
There had been so much wranglng over
legislative representation and other points
Of differences in the constitutional conven-
ton that the people had apparently be-
come Disguised with the whole matter. BE
this as it may, little interest was shown
In the fate of the constitutional revision al
the polls on Monday. only about fifteen per
cent OF the registered vote Of the State
having been cast, and the defeat of the re-
form being decisive.
1t Is believed the rejection of the meas
ure submitted will result in the instituting
of another movement to bring about an
\ even more radical change than was con-
femplated, and If legislative representation

Primary Reform an Absolutely Neces.

The Brattleboro Phoenix we'll says that
"a caucus law and an elections law be in
evitable outcomes of the present cam
paign. They have been desirable long
time; they seem to be necessities now.
Unless the Republican party is prcpar i
TO absorb the Democratic party bodily.
which would be a misfortune in view of
the demand for healthful opposition it
will be absolutely necessary to provide a
primary law at the coming session of the
legislature.
This thought is well enforced by the
Hardwick Gazette which in answer to the
query, What has become of the Demo-
cratic party?" replies that In Hardwick
they have mostly joined the Republican
party, though we arc informed many en-
listed for only forty-oight hours" So far
as We have observed there is not news
paper in the State that is opposing the
adoption of caucus law.

Congress is again in session and
the annual message of the President
was sent TO that body on Tuesday.
That it Is we'll written document NO
one seems toquestion. 1t is so cleverly
written that no one knows exactly
where the President stands in re-.
gard to trusts and tariff, the two
principal subject treated by him. HI
makes no practical recommendation
as to either and evidently intended
to make none which would iuiure
his prospects as candidate for the
nomination for the Presidency. The
message means that he is ION the
fence" in regard to these two great
questions and has taken a doubtful
stand in regard to them,so that he
may be able to fall on the side later
that can give him most votes. 1t is
the message of politician and shows
very clearly that he is not among
those, who would rather be right
than President"
