ADJ0URNS
TILL FALL.
Public Utility Bill Failed TO Pass
Senate Was Not
In Session.
CONSTITUTION EVADED.

TRENTON, July 10:-Following a
fruitless effort to pass stringent pub
lie utility commission bill yesterday
afternoon, the democrats adjourned
the assembly until September II,
though the state constitution pro-
vides that one house shall not ad-
journ for more than three days with
out the consent of the other. To
get around this, one or two members
of the assembly will got to Trenton
every three days and declare the
house adjourned from time to time.
The assembly took the recess yes
terday without consulting the senate,
which was not in session. This was
accomplished by declaring for infor-
NAL adjournments from day to day
through the summer by one member
who will come to Trenton for the pur-
pose. 1t is likely the constitutionality
of the plan will be questioned.
Though the democrats were four
votes short of a majority, and it was
known they could not pass the meas
ure, they played politics and forced a
vote on stringent utility commission
in order to place the republicans
on record against it. When the mea-
sure was brought up the republicans
hotly attacked it, claiming it was
loosely drawn and was clearly uncon-
stitutional. They also fought the
elective commission feature which the
democrats insisted upon.
The vote was twenty-seven demo-
Gratis in favor of the bill, and twelve
against it. There were
four democrats and fourteen republi-
cans absent. The number of votes re-
quired to pass it was thirty-one. Lead
er Klenert moved reconsideration
which was tabled. 1t will be taken
up again in September. The bill pro-
vides for commission of five men,
bers, at salaries of $1,000 each. 1t is
given control of all railroads, street
railroads, common carriers, gas and
electric companies and telegraph and
telephone companies.
Water companies are not included.
The bill repeals the state railroad
commission law, which was enact
ed last April, and which caused a
fight. The commission under this
law has just got to work.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 1O:-
Justice Swayze rendered a decision in
the appeal case of MOritz Sameth
against Emil Sameth, his South Am
boy agent in the foreign banking
business to compel him to give an ac-
count of the money he is said to have
collected and failed to produce.
In rendering his decision the JUS
tice went at some length and declared
he intended it as rebuke to the law
yers who figured in the case for TAX
ing testimony in the matter.
1t seems that the case was first
heard before referee j. Kearny Rice,
who allowed claim for $3.50 but set
aside claim for $1,2S4. The JUS
tice upheld the decision of the ref
cree. Joseph Deutsch, now in Jail on
a charge of embezzlement, who was
also in the banking business. was
one Of the important witnesses in the
case.

if they can be located, of the probablo
whereabouts of boy, about seven

gave his name as John Hanson and
who claims this city as his home.
The fact that he told the writer Of

mill is situated, led to an inquiry by

a great social event by receiving visits
in their carriages. The gardens are filed
with dark-eyed nurses, recognized by their
cape Of ribbons with long streamers. Be-
yond the flower beds is a long alice
lined with busts of great statesmen and
poets. BY five o'clock the Corso even to
the roadway Is so crowded with men and
women that the drivers win their way
through with difficulty. 1t is quite i'm
possible to get seat in some of the
cafes, every bit of space is taken with
people slipping coffee and eating Ices.
The traveller who wishes to feel the

the Vatican. In marked contrast are

which because Of its charm and life
might well be called the Heart of Rome.
The Via NaEionale Is already alive with
men and women who are going to walk
up the Pincian Hill. Even livelier is the
Corso, the principal business street in
Rome; the sidewalks are black with men
and women waiting to see the hand
some equipages drive by. A broad wind
ind road leads up to the summit. AS
one ascends the handsome column of
Marcus Aurelius standing in the Piazza
Colonna comes into full view. Like the
Trajan column 1t is decorated with
scenes from the Emperor's wars. The
column, which is 95 feet in height, Is
crowned with a statue Of Paul. The
roadway on either side is flanked with
woods and statues. 1t was not until
Napoleon's time that the Pincio was
made into these pleasure grounds. Here
were once the gardens of Lucullus and
it was In these gardens that the wife of
Claudlus held her bacchanalian feasts.
The summit is layed out with beautiful
gardens. Great rows of carriages are
lined about the grandstand where the
military bands play every Sunday after
noon.
Many of the smart equipages are owned
by English and Americans who live in
Rome, though wellto-do Italians are in
preponderance. They are dressed in the

feeble he cannot walk and the splendid
strength and manly courage of Aeneas
are represented with perfect mastery.
Besides many other splendid marble fig
ures there is seen a Porphyry bath said
to have been found in Hadrian's Mauso-
leum and q beautiful antique vessel Of
Ophite, the only one of its kind in Rome.
rival to these statues is the picture
gallery above stairs. 1t was only recent
ly purchased by the Italian Government
and is one of the best collections in
Rome. The most valued picture in the
collection is the Mater Dolorosa of An
drea del Sarto. Nowhere is beauty made
lovelier by sorrow than In this face of
this Madonna. Here are also seen Lo-
renzo di Credits Madonna with the
Flower and the Entombment of Raphael.
On the way back one passes the Palace
Of the Medici; though the Palace Is large
and has some interesting collections such
as casts of statues not preserved In
Rome the gardens are the more attrac-
tive. The gardens are layed out in allees
adorned by fountains and statues half
hidden by heavy foliage.

not seen enough for one day but the
traveller has learned to combine sight
seeing with pleasure and so he decides to

much, what will you give?
When he enters one of the several doors
of the church he is met with as many
beggars as he expects and is not allowed
to pass on until he hands the pennies
round. From the main altar comes The
sweet strains of the splendid organ and
the harmonious voices of many choir
boys. The great floor and even the small
chapels are black with worshipers. Gaz
ing up the main aisle, his eyes rest upon
many handsome futed pilasters and heavy
columns adorned with ifellke statues of
the apostles. Most of the chapels are dec
grated with rich statues, but the finest
is the Pieta, by Bernini, that adorns the
subterranean chapel of the Corsini fam
lily. 1t is very much like Michael An
gelo's Pieta, but the carving is finer and
the patient suffering of the Madonna is
expressed with perfect restraint.
He has not driven far when the driver
calls his attention to a small, worn bap-
tistery, and adds, you must see that,
sir; it Is one of the oldest sanctuaries in
Rome" The walls and ceilings are deco
rated with worn frescoes. The most at
tractive object In the church is the bap-
tisimal urn, an antique urn supposed to
have been the one In which Constantine
was baptised and used by Rienzl. the last
of the Tribunes, the day he was made
a knight.
Sunday morning Is the great day of Wis
iting the Borghese Villa. On the way
out one passes many small shops, fish
and fruit-stands close to the old wallis
children playing in the streets-and low
ing mothers watching their babies before
the doors. The grounds are a worthy
surrounding for this lovely place. They
are filled with woods, splendid old ruins
and are adorned by fountains and small
cascades. This wonderful park now be-
longs to the city of Rome but 1t was
built by Cardinal Scipio Borghese and
was rebuilt in 1882 by Marcantopo Bor-
CHEESE. When the Borghese Palace was
sold a large part of its collection was
brought here. The hallway is large and
splendid and the ceiling Is adorned with
a rare fresco. On the floor are several
rare mosaics, one represents a dancing
faun and another typifes gladiators in
combat with wild beasts. One of the
walls is decorated with a bas relief

- HE traveler who has never been to
Rome pictures the Eternal City as a
pile of old ruins and old buildings
stepped in history. Once entering one
of the several gates of those old
walls that surround the place the
picture he has painted on the canvas
of his imagination changes, the build
ing and ruins fall into the back
ground, the streets and life occupy the
centre of the stage AS he drives up the
Via Nazionale he sees broad streets,
adorned with a handsome fountain, ar
cades, shops and hotels, the place has
such an air of modernness he wonders II
the Old Rome he once knew through his
history has been wiped away He Is even
more surprised in his hotel for even Paris
offers nothing more splendid. The large
reading-room is crowded with women
drinking five O'Clock tea, with men chat
ting with their, friends, reading the news
papers and smoking their cigars. Tine pic
ture is quite as gay and cosmopolitan as
could be seen In the most popular hotels
in Paris and London. The American and
English women are in greatest number,
they are dressed In rich reception gowns,
with handsome furs and splendid jewels
having been to several receptions given by
friends in their fine apartments and at
the foreign embassies.
Interesting as the scene is it is common
place with the one he sees in the dining
room few hours later From the bal
cony come sweet strains of italian airs,
the room is brilliant with light and beau
tiful women attired In smartest of even
Ing gowns Some are giving dinner par
ties to friends from home; others are 60
Ing to theater or to u grand ball.
BY nine O'Clock the dining hall is cleared
and the reception hall is again crowded
with guests listening to the music and
chatting with friends.
Next morning the traveller is awakened
by the loud churchbells and soft chimes
sounded from some of the large churches
close at hand. 1t is Sunday, and by the
time ne goes down into the street the
sidewalks are filled with men and women
on their way to one of the many churches.
1t is to the Basillica di s. Giovanni. In
Laterno, he will go his knowledge of Ro-
man history recalls to him that the Vati-
can and this Basilica are the two most
important churches In Rome. This church
was founded way back in the time of
Constantine, and is the cathedral of the
Pope, who takes possession of 1t after
his election. The drive is long and tedi.

ascent unpleasant He tries to forget the
jolting of the cab as he interests him
self in the passing crowd. Old women,

dren trudge along the steep narrow path.

From the Piazza three broad streets

noon.

picturesque touch is given to the
place by the temple Vesta. A beautiful
temple surrounded by an open corridor
of Corinthlan columns ten of which still
remain. Not far away is the villa
dEste ornamented with fountains, cy-
presses and clipped trees. The villa is
old and romantic looking. 1t was once
elaborate but it Is now going to ruin,
though the worn look gives 1t more
romantic appearance
Beyond is Hadrian's villa with mag

of Greek, Latin and Oriental theatres,
circuses and academies. One of the
most attractive places is the. Vale of
Tempe; it is copy of the one in Greece
and Is filed with myrtle and other beau

large and show what immense sums the
old emperors spent on their palaces By
the time we reach Tivoll the sun is set

cascades and the temple.

spent, but tired out and glad to rest
after many hours of tramping. But there
is so much to see and he has seen so
little his conscience prlcks him as he
sallies forth next morning to enjoy more
of street life. He is met by vender
who offers him all the strawhexries he
