Eastern hills. A bird s-eye view shows
the Colonnade Of the Twelve Gods. and
the temples Of vespasian and Concordia,
rallied In. Everywhere are seen ruins
OF magnificent temples, palaces AMI
snrines, edifices recalling the most
brilliant periods of imperial Rome.
Rich old dwellings have here been
recently unearthed The Sancta Maria
antigua, restored In 1902, with Its
gorgeous fresco decorations, is a unique
monument of the Byzantine period.
The Colosseum Is a pathetic giant Of
blood-stained past. Christian affairs
stand at the entrance through which
the wild beasts used to rush to rend
the martyrs limb from limb. Near by,
spanning the Sacred way, stands the
Arch Of Constantine to commemorate
the beginning Of a nobler era in Rome's
history, when Christianity attained
pre-eminence in the state. Next come
tne catacombs, 545 miles In length.
Over part of these is built the church
OF San Sebastiana, the Oldest In the
world. At little distance Is st. John
Lateran, Mother of Churches" whers
the tomb of Pope Plus TX. has just
been placed. Here Is found the holy
staircase, that famous flight Of twenty
eight marble steps brought to Rome
from the house Of PLATE at Jerusalem.
The drive outside the city's walls Is
less attractive than 1t was a few years
ago, before high apartment buildings
were erected on the surrounding plain.
For instance, at the Porta San Lorenzo
one cannot see the Sabine hills. But the
walls themselves are high, heavy,
frowning, in spite of vines that over
run them and flowers that peep from
out their crevices-sutficiently impress
sive, even as walls Of mighty Rome.
At every gate Is found a famous road,
which opens a new vista of association.
At the Porta Salaro the road leads into
the country of the Sabines. At the
Porta Pia memorial tablets mark the
spot where the breach in the walls was

In 1870. At the Porta San Lorenzo Is
the road which leads to Tivoh, of the
wonderful water falls, and so on for
almost every one of the thirteen gates
of Rome.
One could live a lifetime here,
studying, enjoying, thinking, only to
feel at last that acquaintance with the
city was just beginning, even though
ambition and profession was dilettante
In place of scientific Rome Is as fas-
cinating, as unfathomable, as full Of
surprises as a woman who has seen
much and suffered much, yet has never
lost her native faith In all things good.
II it Is appropriate that the feminine
gender be used to designate any city, 1t
is most appropriate that 1t be applied

ladylike, but Rome is womanly She
has the two good qualities OF religion
and motherhood, without which neither
city nor woman can be said to have
reached the full stature Of beauty.

These are the words Elisha Halves,
who is nearly 93years Of age repeats
as he reads and reads over again a
letter be has just received through
the dead.letter Office, from his son,
who died in Virginia during the Civil
War. The letter was written A
years ago.
Where the letter has been during
all these years, and why 1t did not
reach him sooner is a mystery to
Halves and his friends.
The young man was killed at the
age OF ~ by lightning after being at
the front about six months. He en-
listed in Massachusetts. The letter
was the last one he had written to
bis family. With 1t came a Ran.

Domestic Imperialism.
From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
The woman of the day has become
reckless; the lever has been moved to
Gull speed, forward" regardless OF
consequences. It is millions she re-
quires; it is quick journey from the
suburbs to st. James, with few stops
on the way, and the ordinary man is
not in q position to travel the dis
tance and at the speed. He specu.
lates, peculates, abandons principle
after principle, becomes entangled in
difficulties and detached from bis
habits and consequently from his
home. A lew succeed, but they are
not happy; many fail, and they are
wretched. It is imperialism" in
private life, and the collapse caused
by the one form OF this must occur
from the other.

up erfect Picture Of
Dante's Inferno"

BY Robert Underwood johnson. Associate
Editor Century Magazine.
Naples, April 16.-Robert Under
wood johnson, associate editor OF
the Cen fury Magazine, who has been
an eye witness Of the events here the
last few days, said to the Associated
Press:
each day 1t becomes more impos.
sible to visit, even at distance, the
afflicted districts. The ashes have
reached preposterous proportions,
filter into everything, block the
trains, trans, automobiles, carriages
and horses. Only the soldiers seem
to overcome the obstruction.
"Beiore the interruption l took a
train for Tore Annunziata. On ar.
irving at Tore del Greco the heav.
ems seemed to open and we we're soon
half buried in ashes and hot cipders.
The train drew up In total darkness,
relieved only by lightning flashes.
Thus we waited events.
"Soon the darkness took purple
and yellow tinges, the detonations
became louder than the loudest
thunder, and the ashes burnt our
eyes. II was q perfect picture OF
Dsnte's Inferno. The train could
not proceed, so thick were the ashes
on the track, and just at this point
the tr ain broke in hall, and the poor
wo men iugitives, thinking they were
abo ut to lose their lives, began to
oh ant litanies for the dead, giving a
last weird touch to the Internal scene.
"Carbineers came to our rescue
and proposed to take us to the ssa.
We then found we were on q bridge,
wit b the sea on one side, and Te1e
del Greco on the other hand. In the
darkn ess we descended hand in hand,
iorml ng q human rope, and false
step would have meant death. The
port was 80 choked with ashes that
small boats could not navigate.
"Wearily, we trudged back to the
station, to find there was no pros
pect Of another train. We had then
been five hours In that plight, 60,
seeing that heroic measures we're nee
essary, with q companion, / trudged
mile 8 in two or three ieet Of ashes to
P ortici, where finally We found q cab
which brought us to Naples"

ing public Office. The most impor-
tant appointment recently is that Of
Capt. Frank Frantz to be Governor
Of Oklahoma, at q salary Of s., 900
a year. He was q Captain Of Rough
Riders, succeeding "Buck" O'Neal,
who was killed at San Juan Hill.
OF the Rough Rider appointments
made by the President in the two
territories he has only one to regret
that OF Ben Colbert to be United
States Marshal for the Southern Dis.
trict Of Indian Territory.
After he had served short time
several charges were Aled against
Colbert, one alleging that he allowed
q cashier, who had wrecked g bank,
to escape. Colbert served his term
OF four years and was a candidate
for reappointment, but was succeed
ed by Grosvenor A. Porter, q cousin
OF Mrs. Roosevelt.
The position pays a salary OF &c..
500 q year.
The most lucrative position held
by any OF the former Rough Riders
is that OF Clerk OF the Federal Court
at Oklahoma City, which Is held by
Charles Hunter, president of the Na-
tional Rough Riders Association.
With fees, the position is worth
about $40, 900 a year.
The political patronage OF Okla
homa Is at present divided between
Hunter and Frantz. The records OF
the Rough Riders Association show
that OF the 80 members OF the ia
nous regiment now living In Okla
homa and Indian Territory, more
than 20 per cent are holding Federal

Congressman's Use Of
Frank Held Unlimited.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April Is =
That there Is no law limiting or pre-
sscribing the character oiprinted mat
'oer which a congressman may au-
horize to be sent through the mails
under his official frank is the gist OF
n decision rendered here by Judge
John A. Marshall, OF the United

committee OF San Pete county, Utah,

the frank OF Congressman James A.

atibution in Utah of political matter
,n no way related to the proceedings
Of Congress. Among this matter
was a speech by President Roosevelt

1nissal OF the charge against Ander-
sou, Judge Marshall declared that
there was no law limiting the charac.
ter OF such matter which a congress
man might authorize to be sent out.
He expressed the opinion, however,
that Congress was re.miss In not
definitely fixing within reasonable
limits the character OF the matter
