Vermont has adopted direct primaries
and the republicans of the Green Noun
tain State have kept the faith. In view
81 the manner In which everything else
was overshadowed by the license and
prohibition issue, there was great fear
that this matter might he neglected, As
the situation stands, however, the ma
iority for direct primaries in the state
as a whole is between 500 and 200
Chittenden county gave direct primaries

Since the matter was referred to the
people and the principle has been thus
endorsed, it will remain for the State

It has tried local option.

Local option Won sweeping and de-

the towns on the whole being better
satisfied with the present law. making
prohibition possible under local option,
than that proposed in the Perry referen-
dunn, providing for Statewide prohibit
tion.
The first sixteen towns sending com
plete returns to this office afforded a
basis for study Of the whole situation.
These towns were so distributed, repre-
senting large and small communities,
that 1t was safe 10 accept them as an
index OF the result in the entire State
with regard to local option as well as
direct primaries.
These sixteen towns returned p maior
ity of 51s for local option and $3.50 for
direct primaries, The only conclusion
! to he drawn from these returns, there
| fore, was that Vermont had rejected
! State prohibition as a substitute for local
option and had adopted the direct pri-
mary system of nominating candidates
for office.
It IL interesting in this connection to
show how some of these towns voted on
state prohibition and local prohibition.
Grand Isle, the first town to report,
defeated State prohibition seventy-three
TO thirty-two but voted for local prohi-
bition, eighty-seven TO seventy-eight.
Shelburne voted 167 to ifty-eisht against
State prohibition, while the vote for
license was 14l to seventy-two. In South
Burlington on State prohibition the vote
was. yes forty-threc, no eighty-three,
while the vote on local license was, yes
twenty-eight, no eighty-one. Underhill

RUINS OF CORINTH.
Recent Excavations Described In Illus
trated Lecture by y. Fl. Hill.

Bert Hodge Hin, L. V NJ, 1898, di
rector OF the American school of Clas-
steal Studies at Athens, gave an inter
estins illustrated lecture in the Will
iams Science hall Tuesday on the
excavations At Corinth which have
been going on for the last 90 years.
The slides were good and unusually
we'll chosen. and were much appreci-
ated by the audience, which filled the
Science Hall to overlooking.
! Mr.. Hill first showed some Of the
larger ruins that have been brought
to light by recent excavations, such as
/ the ruins OF the temple Of Apollo the
| triumphal arch. numerous colonnades and
fountains, which date back as far as
the sixth century r. e TO show the
excellent state OF preservation of some
Of the Corinthian work. Mr., Hill stated
that one fountain even at the present
day supplies the town with 1000 gal
Ions OF water an hour, transported
through pipes. Most Of the last slides
shown by MIR. Hill dealt with recent
exca"a tions mao de on the site OF a large
building, with a Greek wall erected
some time before tine Christian era and
enclosing Roman wal, erected later.
| The ruins Of the walls and colonnades
still can be seen. In the basement Of
this building, three statues in a re-
markabe state Of preservation were
found by MIR, Hill and his helpers, One
of these statues represented probably
the head OF Lucius, one of Augustus
Rrandsons, and hence dates from the
beginning OF the Christian era. An
other statue found in the same build
ing was likeness OF Gaius, the other
grandson OF Augustus while later a
statue OF Augustus as priest WAS
found in a fine state Of preservation.
Other statues and much Corinthian pot
terry were found OF a date some CEN
turtles before our era The latest dis
coVery made by Mr.. Fiji was an an
tcleht cemetery. which has not yet been
leXcaVated, with tho exception OF three
tomps, one OF which was found to have
been plundered by the Romans. An
important discovery has recently been
made by an expert working at Cor
NTH, namely, the finding of early pot
terry and sites which were occupied as
early AS 5000 g. G. up 10 1000 r. c.
"hich dlsproNes the statements OF many
archaeologists that the city was not
lnhablted at this time. Mr.. Hill said
IN closing that by May or June Of this
year he expected to he hack in Cor
NTH, continuing his work in and abou,
that city.
