HELLENEs SHOW AMERICAN SPIRIT
A Greek Newspaper Published In the
American Metropolis.

American Metropolis.
The man in the street does not hear
the newsboys cry, "Eres yore Their
mopylae,' and is ignorant of the ex-
istence of newspaper published in
New York in the type that has not
met his eye since he laid down his
Xenophon and Homer, and, in the rush
of business, proceeded to forget his
little Latin and less Greek" Yet
"Thermopylae," which justly claims
the title of "the only organ Of HELEN
ism in the United" is a thriving news
paper, and its extra number just issued
in honor of the anniversary of the
declaration of Greek independence is
an unusually interesting publication.
The national colors of blue and white
are shown in the ink used, and edi-
torials by the most prominent Greeks
and philhellenists of the country flank
present-day advertisements that look
dress.
"Lordos Buron" does not seem so
strange that it needs his picture to
identify him. But 1t takes more than
momentary glance to detect in Sam
uel G. Khaou, the personality of
Samuel G. Howe. The masquerading
of other well-known English and
American names and phrases is
equally fantastic. The Greek compos-
itor is at times troubled by the numer-
Gus English quotations, as when he
alters Byron's invocation to Greece, so
that it reads:
"Yet are thy skies as blue, thy
brags as Wild"
But on the whole "Thermopylae" is
highly creditable to its publishers and
to the Greek colony whose interests IL
represents.-New York Mail and Elk,

Little Error No. 2.''
Editor The Times:
sir-Your notice of my article in the
New York Evening Post headed ga Lit
tie Error" gives an incorrect version OF
my reference to the University of Vir-
slnia. My article says that the custoro
OF requiring the language professors to
teach certain sections of universal his
tory prevailed at the University, and
Professor Herbert B. Adams was my au-
thority Your note takes me to ask
for saying this. and then before closing.
it admits all that I claim. Professor
Holmes, as every schoolboy knows, to
his heart, both taught and wrote his
tory for many wears a our great Univer
sity. and not history alone. My article
maintains that there was no independ
ent department OF history at the Univer-
sity. and you admit that Professor
Holmes had the department of History
and Literature and that this was dis
tinct from the history course in the Latin,
Greek and modern language classes"
This shows that no department of history
apart and distinct existed at Charlottes-
vile during the time Of which I wrote.
AS to the share Professor Price had in
the matter. nv point was made when
1t was shown that he established the first
choir of English in the South a Ran
dolph Macon College He had us posted
so far as know. in the establishment Of
history chairs in the South. The reason
he was named was to show that the old
quadrivium of Greek, Latin. mathematics
and philosophy could be broken and not
to tie disadvantage of collegiate edc-
cation. I was in error in saying Pro-
fessor Price was called to Virginia" to
occupy the first chair Of English there;
pity he was not, for it appears that it
was many years later before an inde-
pendent chair of English was established
at Charlottesville. How came to make
the mistake I know not. for Professor
Price had talked to us personally about
the matter But it is difficult for the
young teacher to understand how great
university would call a specialist in Eng
lish to its chair of Greek. This. how
ever. was only a parynthetical statement

Shortly after my first meeting With En-
erson I met Billy West. the second Of the
four great MINISTRIES who have recently
died.
We were both two young. rosy-cheeked
fellows in 1869, when he was dancing in a
concert hall in Buffalo. and I was dong
my turn in another only a block away.
We were business rivals, our turns at
this time being almost alike. Stories were
brought from one to the other by mutual
friends. and we were intensely anxious
to meet, but could MEIER do so. I wanted
to see West dance and West wanted to
see me dance. One day in the fall of 1869
VIE met On a street corner accidentally
and We're introduced by an acquaintance.
and six months later we had launched out
for ourselves under the firm of Primrose
and West. Billy was one of the finest
fellows under the sun to get along with.
Our first engagement was to go with
John O~Brien's circus. The negro priv
ilege.'' as it was known in those days,
vas held by Doris and Batcheler Well,
BILLY and contracted to dance in the con-
cert after the regular circus for SIS each
per week and per cent Of the ticket sales
We had to sell the tickets. All. those
were the halcoyn days! AS said before.
Billy and I had to sell the tickets. We
went among the spectators shouting "Af-
ter the big show. ladies and gentlemen.

adjoining. hi for the small sum Of quar-
ter Of a dollar-only quarter of e, dollar.
gentlemen. Tickets may be purchased
now for the concert
When we had sold all the tickets pos
sible we would go down and black up
and do our dancing turn. It will seem
funny when you know that in the con-
cert with US. doing a double Dutch sing
ing turn, We're George S. Knight, since
dead, and Charley Ellis. the Dutch come

Then we went to New York under the
management Of George Tyler at the old
Olympic, on Broadway, where we played
for two months. a song with which we
