Extension of Pope's Domain.

The Vatican gardens are in the trans
Tiber district of Rome, and at the rear are
about LOO feet broad 1t is purpoSed to
buy strip in the comparatively congested
district of exactly that width, but to
reached, to a width varying from a quarter
extended to Civita Vecchia. Its length will
be siXty-fiye miles.
1t is believed it will not be difficult to win
from the Italian government recognition of
the Pope's temporal power in the limited
domain to be bought, as that would not af
feet the kings rule over Rome and would
make foreign territory of a mere ribbon of
italian soil Thus the whole Natican-Quir-
inal question would be solved with honor to
both sides and with little in the nature of
material concession on the part of the Ital-
ian government. The pope would have his
seaport. at which visiting monarchs
could land to pay their respects to him and
then re-embark in a small yacht at the
same port for a short run to home.
Railway lines from Turin and Genoa cross
the proposed tract. as do important high
ways. and streets bisect 1t in the city linn
Its. 1t would not be possible to allow those
to remain without the risk of. raising con-
troversies with the Italian government. so
the plan provides for the sinking of all
streets. roads and railway lines now cut
ting the strip. The roads and railways
ions by tunnels, and the streets either
would have tunnels or merely be sunk with
the popes drives and walks passing over
them on bridges. Railway stations would
be built in the tunnels of the Vaticon terri
tory. SO visitors arriving by train could step
directly to papal soil and not be compelled
to set foot on Roman grounds.

Beautiful Park Planned.

Substantially all structures standing on
the land to be bought for the pope would
be demolished and the whole territory con-
verified largely into park, with handsome
drives and paths, and an electric railway
operating from point near the Vatican to
the seaport on the pOpes grounds. A suit
able area would be set aside for embassies
and legation buildings, and about mile
from the Vatican a small village would be
built to provide homes for workmen en-
ployed on the railway and about the cleo
trio light plants, water works and other en-
terprises established to make the Vatican
independent of Italy. On the seacoast, the
idea is to broaden the strip that several
miles of shore shall be included in the papal
realm. Piers would be built for steamship
landings, buildings for the transaction of
public business and hotels for pilgrims and
other visitors. Not far from that town
would be the summer home of the pope
and villas for cardinals, ambassadors and
other dignitaries.
Over all that domain and the people re-
siding there the pope would be supreme He
could levy a tariff and issue papal stamps
and coins 1t is proposed that the money
and stamps be of the same denominat ton
as Italian stamps and coins and, by treaty,
good in Rome and its Immediate vicinity.
Friends OF Maloney and kerens assert
the question of attempting to engineer the
project was preached to Pope Plus and
Cardinal Merry del Val about ten months
ago. and received their approval. contin-
gent solely upon full recognition of the
papal temporal power within the limits of
the little kingdom, and that arrangements
for transportation to or from the papal
territory direct by both sea and rail be
provided. 1t also is said overtures have
been made to the Italian government. The
government, 1t is alleged. was willing that
the pope have more territory, with a sea
door, il desired, and to give aid to any
reasonable project for insuring complete
privacy within the boundaries of the ex-
tended Vatican domain, but while explicit
ly agreeing to grant the pope the same
extra territorial rights over the whole of
the new extension which he has in
the Vatican and its gardens. was unwilling
to make any formal recognition of full
temporal authority.

AS the pope already is absolute ruler

Summary Vengeance on a Kos
ciusko Major Narrowly Averted

Kosciusko was thrown into wild
turmoil of excitement and intense in
dignation Monday by the attempted
assault made by Major G. l.. Teat
upon Miss Sonnie PRESLEY, beauti
ful and popular young lady The out.
rage took place in the law Office of
Teat Il Teat, attorneys, Miss PRESLEY
being employed there as q stenograph-
er. The young lady fought desperate
ly in defense of her honor, and her
screams attracted the attention of
passers by who came to her assistance.
Popular indignation ran high and sum
mary vengeance was narrowly averted,
upon the explicit promise of Major
Teat to leave the state within twenty
four hours, never to return, which he
did on the first train. Major Teat has
been prominent in political and mill
tary circles, ana enjoyed very good
law practice, but his disgraceful ac-
tion has put him beyond the pale of
human sympathy, and there are none
to regret his departure from the state,
He has sent in his resignation as ma.
ior on the governors staff, which will
be- promptly accepted upon the latter s
return to the state capitol.

r. E. M. Writes Interesting
Letter From Her Old Home

Dear Advertiser Time with feet
wings goes on and find that it has
been several weeks since | have been
among the number upon the CORE
spondents' page.
am enjoying visit to Yazoo City,
which was my home from 1888 till
1897. Memories both sweet and sad
flood my soul as 1 look upon the fami-
liar scenes of happy days gone by =
sweet, because can reflect upon the
fact that in all the city there was not
happier home than ours sad, be-
cause one dearer to me tnan life itself,
who spent the greater part of his boy
hood here, is with us no more, That
little home, where SO many happy
years were spent, is now the home of
another-the fire did not reach that
part of the city--and trees planted
there by my own hands have grown
in beauty and symmetry, casting cool
refreshing shade upon the greensward
beneath, and | am glad this is so.
There are many strange faces here,
but here and there | see the face of
dear friend of the old days. Only
last night at the meeting of the Soul
Winners Band, just after prayer, /
was drawn in some way to look over
part of the audience, and friend
whom have not seen for many years,
and who was seated quite distantly
from me, gently waved her fan to-
wards me by way of recognition, &C
companying the action with sweet
smile Please pardon these little per-
sonal allusions. know you will un-
derstand Yazoo City has had two
great fires since my last visit here.
First, the great coniagration of May
25, 1904, which, as is we'll known,
left the greater part of the city in
ashes; and second, the great, almost
Pentecostal, fire which fell upon its
people during the wonderful Gates re.
vival in June of this year, A new
city has been built where the old city
once stood, whose church spires stand
out in beauty against the sky, ever
pointing the wanderer to that City
whose builder and maker is God.
Scarcely any visible signs of that fire
remain. Not so the fire that was
kindled by the spirit of the Lifting
God in the selfsame city during the
weeks of one of the greatest revivals
of modern times that fire continues
to burn, reaching far out into the ru-
raj Districts, turning the hearts of men
from the paths Of sin to the way OF
the Truth and the Life, causing them
to exclaim with gladness of heart,
BLESS the Lord, o my soul, and all
that is within me, bless His holy
name!" The people linger long
around their church doors after serv-
ices have closed, holding sweet com
munion with each other. They love
the place where God has poured out
such rich blessings upon them. OIL
for such an outpouring in our own
loved county of Holmes, God has
promised and He will keep His word
if we will only haye faith to believe.
The subject of politics is not discussed
nearly so much as that of religion
The former receives all due considera
tion, but the latter is the all import
ant subject with the masses here now.
1t is not given me to do justice tc
the subject of this most wonderful re-
vival | can only say with these peo'
pie Bless the Lord, o my soul, and
all that is within me, bless His holy
name.

completed, and were for me to be in
