in which the question was asked as to
where they would reside when they ar

Mrs. Moretti replied:

And. growing very enthusiastic over
their plans, she continued:

medieval of all the Italian towns. 1t Is
in northern Italy--in Tuscany, in fact,
and the old madiaeval 'Fete Days when

Just before Signor Moretti's departure
from America one of the best things that
he did was a subject entitled, Music"
and had the opera season in Atlanta
taken place last year instead of this,
Signor Enrico Cruso would have been
the recipient of this beautiful work of
art, since it was for him that 1t was done.
Caruso is a close friend of the Morettis,
and when he was announced to sing In
concert in Atlanta last year, which he
failed to do, 1t was the intention of Signor
Moretti to attend and present him with
the gift, but instead it was taken to
Italy to be given to the distinguished
singer.
While many glad tdings from their
home across the seas have brought inter-
esting accounts of the life the Morettis
are leading, and particularly of Signor
Morettfs work, the photographs of some
works of art done by himself and his
pupil, Miss Geneva Mercer. with charm
ing letter to one of his close friends here,
will be read with great pleasure.
The letter bears the date of April "a,
and Is written from his studio, Via Ca
rinata Degli Uberti. Firenze.
Among others things Signor Moretti
says:

corner of my studio in Florence. The
photograph shows q statuette of Lincoln
and a group which 1 will reproduce for the

when Signor Giuseppe Moretti and his
charming wife left Alabama little less
than a year ago to make their home in
Italy, it was a matter of distinct regret
to a very large circle of friends and not
only to their personal friends. but to
the art world In general, since Signor
Moretti had contributed some Of the most
artistic and beautiful work In the line
of sculpture that had ever been done in
the south.
At their home Monte Pine, "The Hill
of Pines" at Carrara, the Morettis had
established themselves in a most charm
Ing environment, and to their friends
they always kept open house. on the
most cordial and lavish scale. A visit to
them meant delightful departure from
the everyday hum-drum existence of city
life, to a spot of enchanted land" as it
were, where not only the wonderful mar

chiseled his works of art were to be seen,

and gather round him.

Benjamin S. Cable, the assistant secre-
tary of commerce and labor, and Com
missioner General of Immigration Daniel
Keefe. There was general interchange
of views regarding conditions along the
Atlantic coast and on the Canadian and

the government has to contend is the
smuggling of Chinese and Japanese along
those borders, the vast territory to be
covered making the work an especially
difficult one.

Casparis Stone company at the quarry
colony called Trimmer, which was torn
by an explosion of 300 pounds of dyna-
mite last night revealed that two, Emile
Ferrer and Liguel Matazzo, wei seriously
injured and eight others were painfully
cut by flying glass.
Most of the houses were shattered by
the blast and had it not been for one
heavy building, which acted as a buffer
between the "thawing house." where the
dynamite that exploded was kept and the
main magazine, where five tons of the
explosive were stored, all of the several
hundred asleep in the community would
have been blown to bits. The cause of the
explosion has not been discovered

was high in the heavens rushing from
the southeast toward the northwest. 1t
was very large and nearly as bright az
Venus. During the several seconds Of its
passage across the heavens 1t apparently
exploded several times as very distinct
