Napues, IraLy, August 15th, 1906, Epivor Timgs, Butler, Mo. Dear Sir:—We spent four dayssee- {ng Rome, @ most wonderful old city, which at the dawn of the second cen- tury the zenith of the Roman empire had @ million inhabitants. In the sixteenth century the population was only eighty-five thousand. It now contains one-half million—is the home of the Pope and official head- quarters of the Roman Catholic Church for the whole world. Rome was founded 700 years be fore the birth of Christ, and {s built on both sides of the Triber river, has been the scene of many great battles, witnessed the rise and fall of nations. We visited the Pantheor, the Vati- can, Saint Peters Church, famous palleries of paintings and sculpture, museums, the colosseum, catacombs, tombs of Popes and a number of very old Catholle churches each of im- mense size. While nearly the whole population of Rome is Roman Catholic, it is the bome also of several thousand Nuns, Priests, Monks, Sisters of Charity and others that are employed by the church, each wearing odd looking uniforms and gowns, as they go about the streets. From Rome we traveled over a fine country very rich, thougt {t has been cultivated for centuries. They raise everything we do in Missouri, but make a specialty of grapes and fruits. Arrived at Naples. Population one-half million, and is beautifully situated on the Mediterranean Sea, a few miles from and in sight of old “Mount Vesurius,” that occasionally belches forth etreame of red hotlava. Pompell, situated at ite base, had @ population of 20,000, but in the year A. D. 79. Mount Vesurius erupted and poured over the city hot lava pamice stone and hot ashes 20 to 50 feet deep. Pompeii thus re mained underneath for about 1,700 We spent half a day here ina move the covering and take out, a yom | from the sea and 700 feet above the water. As we returned by steamer in front of Mount Vesuvius, two or three miles distant, the crator suddenly belched up immense quantities of steam that could be seen 40 miles away, which was repeated five hours later. Passengers leaving Naples are tak- en in row boats about 400 feet out to deep water, where steamer {fs anch- ored. Ascur party with 100 other passengers were being rowed to steamer, we were surrounded by 20 or 30 naked boys from 7 to 15 years of age in rowboats all jabbering and gesticulating, asif something of great {mportance was about to happen. They wanted us to throw coins into the water, and they would divedown and catch them ten or more feet be- low. We were told to wait until aboard the steamer, where the water was 100 feet deep. From the steamer deck our pas sengers began throwing copper coins into the ocean. We could see the coins sink away down ten or twenty feet in the clear water with a crowd of boys in rough scramble after them. Finally the boys would rise te the surface, the successful one showing the coin in his hands, teeth ortoes. Other coins would be tossed over and down, they would go again and again with great glee and earn- ing money, as they thought easily and rapidly from the Americans. The Italian children raised on the seashore in this warm climate, livein the water much of the time, where they swim and dive as naturally cs ducks or fish. The Italians are great peddlers. They know an American or English- man by eight, and think they are all millionaires with money to burn. As soon as a foreigner is seen, he is besleged by a gang of peddlers, cab drivers and beggars all talking at once in Italian. The weather is hot here, so we start north to-morrow. Yours Truly, Ww. E. Warton, DRUG STORE INDIMIDUALITY Jefferson City, Aug. 27.—Governor Folk granted Mrs. Agnes Myers a tespite to October 26 to give her at- torneys time to have her case dis- posed of by the courts. A stay of execution until October 26 was alao granted to Frank Hott man. Both were under sentence to hang September 3 This ts the second respite for Mrs. Myers and Hottman. They were eentenced to hang June 20 and the governor granted them both a re- eplte to September 3. Liberty, Mo , Aug. 27 —“I expect- edit.” Mrs. Myers said when told of the governor’s action this morn- ing. “If the courts do not decide in my favor I felt sure the governor would commute my sentence.” One Hundred and Eight Years and Six Months Old. Sedalia, Mo.,—“Grandmother” Fox, widow of John 8, Fox, who lives with her daughter near Smith- ton, Pettis county, who ts now 108 years and6 months old, had her picture taken yesterday for the firat time in her life. Many snapshots have been taken of her, but the first photograph of Graudmother Fox was secured yes- terday by a local photographer. Mrs. Fox was born in Jefferson county, Kentucky, February 14, 1798. She has been a resident of Lewis and Pettis counties for the last elghty years. Although the Mis- souri Pacific runs within @ mile of hor home, she has never ridden on a train, and the operation of ral!- road is as much of a mystery to her to-day asit was seventy-five years ago, when the whistle of a locomo- tive caused her a thrill of fear. Mrs. Fox has never used spectacles and reads print without the use of magnifying lenses. I¢ is her proud boast thatshe never had to hire washing done inher life, and al- though she cannot do heavy work at the present time, she assists about the kitchen, dries the dishes, sweeps the floors and does many little things in the work of the household. She says that the most she ever welghed was 140 pounds, but that sho always enjoyed good health. Even though her advanced age is encroaching upon her vitality and strength, she is in as goed health as most persons who have not reached the seventy-mile mark, Worland Items.
