statue, alas! is marred by modern

In the chapel behind this rests Fra
Angelica. the creator of the lovely fres-
cos of angels in his convent home of
ST. Marks in Florence and elsewhere.
One should visit the Church of st.
Cecilia on Nov. 90, the day consecrated
to her. who was credited with the in
vention of the organ. According to
the legends of the Church the martyr
was thrown into bath of boiling oil.
and when saved by a miracle was
who was allowed by law to strike her
but thrice. The head was not severed.
but death ensuing she was buried with
the neck swathed in bandages. Thus
was her body found. and thus has she
been represented in the beautiful re-
cumbent figure before the high altar
in her church. which. they say, was
erected over her own home. where now
they show some of it's subterra1iean
rooms. The church has a fresco on
the ceiling representing the saint with
her organ being transported into the
highest heaven. where Father and
Son sit enthroned. and lovely angels
are chanting the martyrs praises.
The church stands in one of those
quiet little trans-Tiberine piazzas,
where the grass grows through the
crevices of the pavement. and the si-
lence is broken only by the echo of
the visitors footballs. The front wall
of the vestibule is covered with insert
ed tablets taken from the winding
catacombs where all the early Christ
ians were buried.
Not far away is the pretty little
round church of st. Carlo of the Four
Fountains. 1t occupies just the space
of one of the pillars of the great ST
Peters dome. but. as it takes 1O7
steps to walk around one of these
pillars. st. Carlo is not such a very
tiny church after all. At the corners
of the street are four curious old foun-
tains. Hence. the name, both of the
thoroughfare and of the church.
One of the oldest churches of Rome
is the Aracoeli-Altar of Heaven
where Constantine once founded a
Christian temple and made it indeed
an "altar of heaven" for very high it
stands upon the Capitoline Like sew
eral of its sister churches, it has a
very ugly bare wall for a front. It's
approach is long stone stairway,
down which, they say. Julius Caesar
descended on his knees after his tri-
umphs in Britain, and down these
same steps fourteen hundred years
later the bleeding body of Rienzi, the
last of the Tribunes, was dragged by
a Jewish mob.
In one of the cllapels may be seen
the celebrated Bambino, or Christ
child standing upon the lap of his
Virgin Mother. Both images are re-
splendent with gems, and tiny crown
of diamonds and sapphires was few
years ago placed upon the head of the
infant with great ceremony.
In this church during Christmas
week the little Italian children from a
platform tell the story of the Christ
child and what he has done for them.

COURT DEFERS ACTION
Will Further Examine Plans for
Remodeling Court House
SPECIAL MEETING ON JULY 10
Plans Submitted to Commissioners by
Three Architects--Want Nuisance
Abated.

The county court adjourned at q
late hour Wednesday afternoon with
out taking any action relative to the
plans submitted by various architects
for remodeling the court house. On
the other hand 1t was decided to defer
action to a special meeting to be held
on Friday, July 10, in view of the fact
that the time was too short in which
to thoroughly examine the drawings
submitted and hear the explanations
of the architects.
AS this paper stated yesterday,
plans for the proposed Improvements
were presented by Mr.. G.. l.. Harding
and Mr.. Frank P. Milburn, both OF
Washington, but omitted to mention
the plans Of Mr.. George D. Whitson,
this city, inasmuch as they were sub
mitted after it had gone to press.
1t is quite hkeley that the plans Of
one or the other architects will be
adopted at the meeting above speci-
fed, though it Is quite probable that
some slight notifications may be sug-
gested by the court.
The drawings of Mr., Harding call
for colonial syle of architecture as
to the exterior, presenting an impos.
ing front and altogether beautiful
building. His plans. it is said, made
very favorable impression on the
county commissioners. but as said
they and the others will be more
carefully looked into at the next meet.
