not live here-work too hard and pay
too small. Dur girls can beat him
to death at washing and In hard labor
he stands no show at all with an Ital-
ian" Not one OF either did l see in
Naples. II Is not necessary I suppose
to say we did not see a negro there
either. although this climate would
seem TO be we'll adapted TO him
One of the striking things easily
observed as n walks along the mar
row streets where the wagons can not
go is the hundreds OF little industries,
and we can not help but ond what
will these thousands OF people do
when the l~abor-saving machine and
the great factory gets here. 1t mag
be years yet, but the day will come in
Italy as it is now in America. when
there will be no place in the great
centers for the small industry or the
merchants of but little capital.
The poverty. the begging, the lying
and stealing the shameless exposure
every hand in the alleys, and al
most everywhere else is simply awful
l am told that 1t is worse here than
else. OF couI all this
makes l~oafers, gamblers and all that's
bad.
Beautiful Naples.
There is plenty Of the beautiful on
every hand in Naples-its hills. its
villas. its bay-all these have beer
given us in books and magazines. in
pictures, poetry and song. but its deg
radiation Is above It all and is dragging
1t down. Let us hope that the pres
king who has done and is doing
so much to lift up his people will lake
hold of Naples.
Pompei.
In the afternoon of Friday our party
was taken by railroad train to the
ruins of POmpei. and for fOur hours
walked over the streets and wand-
ering through the ruins of cou-ts,
theatres. private residences,
and the like of this world famous
place. 1t was a solemn business and
It was most tiresome too, for the day
was hot and walking over stone,
nothing but stone. concrete or slab for
four hours was hard to some of us
at least. l enjoyed it because it was
Pompei. but 1 don't ARE TO repeat that
again.
The excavations are going on all the

Leaving Naples Saturday at I o'clock
our ship landed at Genoa sunday af-
-ernoon at 5 o'clock. 1t was after 10
clock before We could get through
he custom house and to our hotels.
It was my good fortune to be located
1t the Bristol on 22d September street.
Il is one of the most elegant and best
Kept hotels l have ever seen. My

lave stopped at SO far is their break

but don't go far enough.
We were taken over Genoa in a car
'iage drive of four to five hours. 1t
s a clean, beautiful city of $4,000 in
abitants-the most delightful in
many respects that 1 have visited. AS

The chief attraction in Genoa, how
is its cemetery-called Campo
or the Camp of the Saints. Here
million and q half of people are
'uried. The most marvellous
