MODERN ATHENS LOST
DIoGENES A MERE BEGGAR
He Had His Price, and Woe Be Unto
Those Who Refused to Give 1t
to Him-Hs Death
Regretted

ATHENS, July 27-Modern Athens has
recently lost twentieth century Dio-
genes He was beggar named Sacoules
and displayed good deal of the spirit
of the ancient cynic. He could not ex-
actly place his tub in the streets, but he
found out a sort of grotto in the side of
the acropois-the identical one which the
ancients tabled to be haunted by the
Furies-and here he lived for years. He
was q beggar who had his price, and he
fixed it at one penny less than which
sum he disdained to ask. If 1t was re-
fused he only shrugged his shoulders in
contempt He would penetrate the cafes,
and If the company ignored his presence
he would exclaim, What! One hundred
and fifty million to work. and wretch
like me can't be assisted" Then would
follow a sound rating. He had become an
institution, and his death is commented on
with regret.

MARIE CORELL
RAPS MAN AGAIN
NEW NOVEL IN WHICH THE ARIS.
ToCRACY is ATTACKED
Its Members Marry in Order That
They May Be Supported, She
Says, and Then Do
Nothing

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, July 27.-Marie Corelli makes
another attack on mere man" in the
short story she has just been writing.
The heroine, a beautiful novelist, mar
ries a worthless earl of ancient lineage.
The purpose of the story, she says, is
"to expose the lazy noodles of aristo
Gratis who spend their time first in ac
cumulatng debts and then in looking
about for a woman with money to pay
them; woman upon whose income they
can afterward live comfortably for the
rest of their worthless lives"
Miss Core.li speaks of 'the miserable
position voluntarily held by certain
nobiemen, who, because they have placed
themselves in the unnatural and un-
becoming condition of owing everything
to their wives money, permit these
wives to play fast and loose with their
honor and good name and apparently
shut their eyes to intidelities which make
them a byword of contempt of all self
respecting commoners.
Should Get Out and Work
1T would be a wholesome and refresh
irg stimulus to society,"" she continues,
III such bueblooded .ackeys could awake
to the fact that manhood is better than
money and of their own free will and
gold fields or elsewhere and earn their
own livelihood bravely and interdepend-
emily instead of lounging and frittering
away their days as silent, inactive spec
tators Of their wives open and wanton
degradation"
Further on she writes: 1T is certain
that the true intention of woman's des-
tiny has not yet been carried out. She
is fighting toward it, but is using her
weapons wildly and in various dlrec-
tions. 1t is not by opposing herself to
man that she can be his real helpmeet,
neither by supporting him on her money,
whether such money be earned or in
herited, and not by adopting his rastimes
and aping his manners.
What Women Should e
1T is by cultivating and cherishing to
the utmost every sweet and sacred senti-
ment of womanhood every grace of re-
fnement and beauty; by taking her share
of the worlds intellectual work with
| force as we'll as with modesty; by show
ing a faultless example of gentle re-
serve and delicate chastity
when man begins to understand that
woman is not meant to be a toy or a
drudge, but a comrade, the closest, best
and truest God has given him, then the
clouds will clear ana marriage will be a
blessing instead of a curse

VIENNA, July N.-The duke OF IecK'
nephew of King Edward, did well to keep
away from Vienna while the case against
Bernard Hengler his ex-butler, is being
tried. Up to few months ago the duke
was British military attache at Vienna,
and being a relative of the king was much
uonized, the names of many heiresses,
American and European, being coupled
with his.
However, during the three years he
spent here his highness was almost con-
stantly in hot water, one creditor chasing
the other, and the butler having swell
time lying for his master.

Dove Down in His Jeans

At the same time his highness entrusted
Bernhardt with the care of his royal per-
SON. The butler had to keep him in linen,
in perfumes in wines and liquors. besides
paying the baker, the butcher and candle
stick maker. The payments were irregu-
lar enough, it Is true, but the moneys
forthcoming from the ducal treasury to
make the payments were even scarcer.
Time and again Bernhardt, so he told the
court, had to dive down into his own
jeans to get the wherewithal to discharge
the royal dukes most pressing debts to
petty tradesmen. and Bernhardts salary
as butler and financial agent was only $15
per month. And for that he had to fight.
Now the duke accuses him of feloni-
ously raising tradesmen's bills for the
purpose of mulctng him out of SIS.
Bernhard explained to the court that
he did raise some bills, but had to do so
to get back his own money advanced to
the duke on various occasions. The court
evidently believed the servant and let him
go on his own recognizance. while his
highness was ordered to return to Vienna
and answer certain questions before the
court.
