The first sidewalk in New York was
laid by a woman, Mrs Samuel Pro
voost, about 1716. She was an import
er and merchant and laid the sidewalk
for the convenience of her customers.

do it, but they refused, saying it was
impossible. After her object lesson

but for some time her sidewalk was so
famous that people journeyed even
from Philadelphia to see it.

English Railway Signals.

An observant traveller on English
railways could tell you at once the
railway upon which he is travelling by
merely looking at the first signal he
passes. It may surprise many to know
alike in this country in station archi-
lecture and fittings, color of rolling
stock, design and color of the locomo-
tives, uniforms of the servants, style
of the signal cabins and signal appli-
ances and many other details.-London

NORMAL INSTITUTE.

the arrangements for holding the
Teachers Institute are nearly COM
pleted. The Institute will be held
the last two weeks in August at the
High school building in Durango.
DR.. A. J. Flynn of Denver will be the
conductor. There will be daily les.
sons with experiments in agriculture,
conducted by Prof. T. S. Parsons.
Mr.. H. e. Black. county superin-
tendent of Montezuma county, will
give instruction in photography. We
hear on every hand our schools criti-
cised because of the poor results in
teaching spelling. Mr.. Black has
been most successful in this work
and we believe can be of great help
to the teachers in giving them his
methods.
II has not yet been decided who
will have charge of the manual train
Ing and primary work. The commit
tee are considering several candi
dates at present.
Mrs. Pulford will have charge oil
the work in drawing
DR.. Sanford Bell has promised tc
give one lecture. DR.. Flynn will de
liver one and there will be at leas
one by some one from the Agricul
tural college.

EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES.


Several OF the rural schools have
closed in the last few weeks and the
number of pupils VINO have received
Eighth grade diplomas Is very credit
able.
AS most of the rural districts have
adopted the course of study used In
the Durango schools. these pupils are
admitted to the High school without
further examination.
The teachers in the Durango
schools have assisted the county sup
erintendent in preparing the ques-
tions for the final examination and
this is one way in which the work of
the city schools and rural schools is
kept together.
At the Waterfall school Miss Nina
McCan received diploma; at Igna-
clio, Miss Ella King and Master Hen
ny Bryant; at Hermosa, Miss Nettie
Buchanan and Miss Della Rolnlck; at
Trimble, Miss Alice Bradshaw; at
the Moss school, near Bayfield,. a
class of five finished the course-Miss
Ruby Moss, Miss Fannie Fawcett,
Master Miles Sommers, Master Lee
Epperson, Master Roscoe Hammond.
The larger rural schools at Animas
City and Bayfield, will close May 18th,
lockwood schools will close May %.

HOTEL SAVOY.

Among the new things which Du-
range will have will be the Hotel
Savoy next Thursday. A snort time
ago Mr.. Charles Fleck, who has long
and successfully conducted the Inter.
Ocean hotel which will be no more,
leased the Perry-Roberts block at the
corner of Main avenue and Sixth, Sc
curing the ground floor OF the corner
and all of the second floor. MI
Fleck has given care to every detail
with the purpose of making the Savoy
first class. In the kitchen he has
placed one of the largest and latest
approved ranges in the West. The
dining room. with its morning light
and afternoon shadows, will be ideal.
The lobby is spacious and will be the
home of all the old inter-Ocean guests
as well as for many new ones.
The rooms have been specially fur
nished with view to cleanliness.
Only rugs, which may be taken up at
any time will be used. With street
exposes on two sides and n modern
skylight the rooms are light and airy
and all are ventilated. In a sanitary
way there will be no more healthful
hotel in the West
The Flecks have long enjoyed the
reputation of being among the best
of hosts at the table, and they will
now be able to offer as good hotel
service throughout as any other hos
telry in the Southwest.

southwest at Dolores and Twentieth

northwest would be about two miles

THE SILVER LAKE ORDER.

The Herald was informed by It's
Silverton correspondent Saturday
that an order had been received coun-
termanding the one given to rebuild
the recently burned Silver Lake mill.
but requesting that mention be de-
layed.
No reasons are given In the coun-
termanding order, therefore the pub
lie is compelled to d-aw Its own con-
clusions as to the cause. And the
people are not slow in doing this, the
prevailing opinion being that the com
pany feels it will be useless to re-
build and take chances of the same
miscreant again setting fire to the
building. Under these conditions.
and we cannot blame men with mon
ey from halting, 1t Is up TO the peo-
pie of San Juan county to put forth
every effort to ferret out the guilty.
Suspicious rest against discharged
employees. The Herald is not inform
ed If they belonged to the union or
not 1t makes no difference so far
as TIE Herald and the law Is con-
cerned. No matter what position the
culprit holds he merits the fullest
punishment. II suspicion rests
against any member of the union 1t is
the imperative duty of the union Off
cinls TO investigate and punish. The
union owes self-preservation to united
action in this matter. II has been
too common practice for union offi
cials In Colorado to shield guilty
members. The Herald holds that no
union can survive that tolerates Its
members to commit crime OF any
kind and then shield them. If, there
fore suspicion rests against any
member of the union II is the duty
of the union to aid officials in prose
cution so that the facts may be
known. The closing down of the
Silver Lake properties not only
tarows hundreds of innocent men out
OF employment in San Juan county.
but it means curtailment OF men in
the local smelter because there Will
be less ore to treat The employ
ment OF $50 miners means labor in
many OtutT cilduutiS anu lutil SuS'
pension will indirectly affect full
thousand people. And all because of
the devilish deeds OF one man. II
any man of intelligence will stop and
consider for one moment the enor-
nifty of the crime, greater efforts
would be put forth to apprehend the
perpetrator.
The guilty should be apprehended
and punished and If the union falls
to do Its duty and throw off all masks
1t must stand condemned. And what
holds true in regard to unions is
equally applicable to those who are
not members. II 1t was an official
of the company VINO committed the
crime we would say hang him-or
give him life imprisonment We are
no respector of persons when 1t
comes to crime.

W. A. PERRY RETURNS

A few days ago The Herald pub.
lished an interesting letter from W.
A. Perry, who was in San Francisco
when the first earthquake shocks
were felt. Returning yesterday even
ing he was glad to get back to the
haunts he had known before and this
morning was found at the Durango
club rooms discussing the scenes he
left in the Crescent City.
Mr.. Perry said he had already Civ
en- his friends and acquaintances
through Herald columns the general
detail of his experiences, and that he
felt more like forgetting it than 60
ing further with the story.
Regarding the rebuilding of the
city. he said 1t would cavil the cour-
age of men. but he presumed the
harbor itself would rebuild San Fran
cisco. While in the lower part o.
California he found Los Angeles
building magically and was surprised
to find San Diego emerging from the
bad effects of over-booming nearly
20 years ago. The south Pacific coast
trade is increasing steadily and San
Diego is growing substantially on a
more practicable basis of materializ-
ing trade. The buildings are of more
substantial structure and the people
are selecting that group of undulat-
ing hills where the sun sets to spend
their days.
Mr.. Perry. as others do, says that
much may be learned of the progress
OF human affairs by studying condi-
lions along the Pacific coast.
