AMOXGTHESABINE BILLS
J*fir/$ on<f Fancies in Suburban
Rome.
Tivoli, August ."..
A- American woman travelling in hie same
compartment of the steam tramway from Roma
with me showed signs of mental disturbance
over her guidebook. She kept the leaves rus
tling, consulted Introduction and index alternate
ly. groaned repeatedly from anguish of spirit,
and r ftu^ antly complained that 6he never could
fißd what she wanted in a guidebook. A rich
hr«band, a charming daughter and a hopeful son
fresh from college were evidently accustomed to
tbete tantrums, for they paid no heed to them.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, when the
train was approaching Hadrian's Villa, she
turned to the courier with the exclamation: "I
think somebody might tell me how many of
tbose Roman kings there were! Were there
mere than seven, and what were the names of
ttern?" As I left the train at the station for
H»ftriau s Villa, I was unable to ascertain
whether her search for knowledge respecting
tU« kings l.: Latium was successful. She had
barely glanced at the Roman Campagna, over
which she was passing toward the blue Babine
hills, and had devoted her energies for an hour
tf. the discovery of a list of king's, from Romulus
to the Tarqulns. Her zeal and humility were at
Itast commendable. On the previous Sunday I
V.&3 seen a cashing young American girl march
into the choicest room of the Capitoline Mv-
K-jm, Built at the "Marble Faun," and tap the
"Dying .lister's" head contemptuously with
her parasol and proclaim .1 a high key, "I think
they're ell perfectly awful! I w< uldn't take any
cf tbese dreadful antiques as a gift! Why
*houl<l we waste our time in looking at such
horrid things!' The worthy matron who con*
rifiered precis!* knowledge of the legendary his
,^^ r tyf jjatium to be essential to an adequate
enjoyment of Rome was as far from the truth
as the- overconfident damsel who condemned
after a single glance masterpieces of ancient art.
Rational sightseeing [Hires sensibility as
veil as scientific knowledge. Hadrian's Villa
nay be ir-ttTngiblc to learned antiquaries, but
casual visitors are only bewildered when they
fi'iempt to separate and identify the mined
masses <*f bar* masonry with which acres of
verdant hillside are Uttered. When the Acad
rn:ies are differentiated from the Lyceums,
Tempe from Canbpus. Tartarus from the Ely
t-lan Fields, temples from theatres, and hippo
drorr.es froa. aqueducts. Inquisitive perplexity
1« not a satisfactory substitute for uninquisitive
Ignorance. Tl.e ruins of this imperial suburban
residence may be impressive from their magni
tude, but, rifled as they have been of wainscot
«nd pavement, marbles and mosaics, caryatides
und statues, th« effect of the naked walls is
monotonous and wearisome. The real treasures
have gone to the Vatican, the Capitoline and the
national museums, and have been scattered
among European capital?: and the empty cells
remain, encompassed with thickets of brambles
and mounds of rubbish. Knowledge is not a
source of enjoyment in the demolished and plun
dered villa as it i» in the ruins of Pompeii; but
the ctfi/.ation of th? scene an : the picturesque
ness of the environment make an irresistible ap
p*£l to sensitive natures. Even in the glare of
a ".summer day, when the springtime anem
ones hare been shrivelled and the- ferns, mosses
nnd Ivy have been burned brown, there is a
melancholy beauty in toeae shattered galleries
and heaps of shapeless masonry embowered
• uiong olive groves and clumps of cypresses,
Ilexes, plaes and Junipers under the bluest of
rkies. Ruined Tusculum is well worth the don
key ride from Fras.-n.il. even if the sites of
Cicero's home and the house of his friend, Lu
rqllf l canr.ot be definitely identified with the
tufted greenery of the Villa Runnella. The
foundations of the theatre and the heaps of
broken stone en the steep hillsides make a clas
sic picture of desolation among the verdant hills
commanding a magnificent prospect of the mys
terious Campagna and the Eternal City. The
romantic valley where th" walls of Hadrian's
Villa ft-*- thimmering in the vivid sunlight is
ft-notiier transcript of picturesque ruin and the
ravages Of time; and high above it is Tivoli,
fincicnt as Ron:e and imperishable in beauty.
At Tivoii I again met my chance American
acquaintances •ho were confronted at the Sta
tion of Hadrian's Villa with the researches of
Llvy respecting: the legendary history of Rome;
ajid as they were evidently enjoying the cas
cades, tlie ruin?, the villas and the views of the
mountains and the Campngna, it was safe to in
fer that no trtm'ii Investigations bad been under
taken. Not even complete knowledge of the
li^.ts of khi£s, consuls, emperors and popes, or
of Urn varied historical associations of this
matchless town, enables one to appreciate the
bnautj of the landscapes which defied alike the
genius of Claude and Turner. Byron, In his
poetic ifiiiiniscpnre of misapplied study of
Horace, could exclaim: "It is a curse to under
t-tf.n<3, cot feel thy lyric How." Tivoli Is a
furies of picture* not to Le interpreted by guide
books and explained in detail. Claude's favorite
undertone, silvery gray, is In the cascades and
In the stone houses and churches on the crest
of the bKIE. and bis freshest greens are dull in
c<.inpan?oi> with the richness of the foliage,
especially cf the oliv? groves with which the
town ts embowered. Turner's deepest tinge of
orange is In the circular temple of the Sibyl and
the oblong travertine temple of Tiburtus. on the
*c-?e of the cliffs; and where even in his most
briniant canvases can there be found stronger
rentrasts of color than those of the time mel
lowed lonic and Corinthian columns, the clinging
masses cf ivy, the foaming cascades, the blue
Italian skies and the golden glimmer of sun-
Hght? And was it Claude or was it Turner who
despaired of ever translating In paint the wide
reaches and atmospheric elasticity of the Roman
< arrpr <jria from the Sabine Mountains to the
ssa? Horace's Tibur Is Irresistible in pictu
resque charm and variety, and, like his melo
dious verse, Is to be felt rather than closely con
ft/ued and completely understood.
acenj information is equally unimportant
*-hen the famous Villa d'Este is visited. It is
ndt necessary to call the roll of kings or em
perors when one approaches from the grottos
the stately mansion, for it dates only from the
Fifteenth century and derives little adven
titious :;d from historical association. It is a
r,«£locted palace, untct:ar.tcd except as a sum
irer school for students destined for the Roman
priesthood, and the vault. passages lead only
to dingy rooms v.-itb garish frescos. The man
sion would be unimpressive without the
pwicious gardens opening from the broad ter
race and commanding a glorious prospect of the
r arr.pas;na and of BOOM In the dreamy distance,
vhich fades away in mist. The Mondragone
find the Aldobrandlni villas, at Frascatl. are
' IsOSJMT and mere Imposing than this rather
woe-begone mansion In Tivoli: and the grounds
<'»rid woodlands of the suburban palaces on the
Alban hillsides are trim and well ordered in
comparison with the gardens of the Villa d'Este:
but v.ildness and neglect are not among the
Jeart of the charms of this outlook from the
Kabine Mountains. Fountains are found at
•-very turn below the terraces, and silvery cas
pa4«;s and foaming rivulets are leaping down the
rreclritoua hillside; and, with water everywhere,
the foliage of the huge cypresses and gnarled
"live trees, the acacias and Hexes, has a dewy
freshness from morning until night. Flowers
would brighten the sunny places around the
eigaEtie fountains if there were gardeners to
plant them in this wilderness, but. here and
there wild flowers burst Into bloom in the dark
ness and dampness of the leafy arcades. Bean
tiful and picturesque as are the grounds of the
•UQitfi'jO'Js vUlaii around Frascatl, the we;r£n?£3
and wlldness of this neglected garden on the
uplands of the Anio seem to suit the genius of
a storied region of classic literature, and the
measured cadences of the fountains suggest the
joyous rhythm of Horace, who "knew and loved
it well and aepired to die there in a green old
age.
It was oae of Mr. Austin Dobsons pretty
fancies that he could meet all the cronies of
Horace in Hyde Park, frcm Bybarla on the rail
by Lydia's 1 onies or the- garrulous Gargilius
with his hunting tales to dyspeptic Maecenas,
the priggish Damasippus and the flirting Asterie.
A more vivid imagination would be required
here than in London in order to replace the
worthies, bores, dandies and snobs of Horace's
time In the haunts where he once knew them
among the Bablne and Alban villas. Bwarros of
donkey boys and guides now waylay the in
coming stranger at Tlvoli, Frascati or Albano,
and beggars driven by the police from the crum
bling church doors In Roma Infest every coun
try road, and are ready to dispense blessings or
curses in accordance with their reception.
Neither cadgir.s fcr the patronage of sight
see^-s nor importunate mendicancy had reached
la Horeres day the verge of imposture and in
vited his trenchant satire. The beggars on the
mountain roads are often of advanced years, yet
are broad shouldered, sinewy and keen eyed.
When one gees these gray haired mendicants in
their rags mumbling their prayers in front of
wayside ehrines h? can detect the well knit
phyßique a^d irrepressible vitality of the Italian
hlllsman. Leo XIII was one of this mountain
breed, for he waf born in an eagle's n»st among
the Yolscian hills, not a long way from the
Alban crests, and he retained both his marvel
lous vitality and his bright, piercing glance to
the end. Old men of the same lithe and spare
figure are to be found in every troop of In
dolent beggars around the churches of Frascati
and Tivoli.
At the mineral baths on the outlying spurs of
the Sabiue Mountains there would seem to be a
better chance of meeting some of Horace's bores
and prigs, flatterers and flirts, whom he de
lighted to lash wtth mischievous satire It Is a
motley gathering that comes every summer
afternoon by train from Rome to this popular
rosort. Within the inclosure there is an abun
dant supply of water, and there are open air
pools, either deep or shallow, for expert or in
expert swimmers, and the most elaborate ar
rangements for bathing in colls, showers under
cascades, diving from springboards and drying
rooms in the sun. Men, women and children
diFport themselves by the hour, and when the
baths are ended there are promenades In shaded
arcades and there is gay chatter in the central
casino. It is one of the characteristic sights of
suburban Rome, but with the freedom of health
ful exercise and the pleasurable activities of in
nocent recreation there is little range for the
affectations and foibles of Horace's time. The
familiar figures of nis Rome are to be found, if
anywhere, In the fashionable villas among the
mountains or in the diplomatic embassies. But,
as in Mr. Dobson's own imaginative tour in
Hyde Park, not the master himself.

A FRESH AIR BRIDE.
Sent Out to Country by Fund —
Adopted and Weds Host's Son.
The Tribune Fresh Air homes are now beginning
to receive the last parties of children that will go
to them this season. Three or four more weeks
Will see practically all the little visitors safely
home again.
Nearly five hundred children were sent out on
Thursday and Friday of tills week. John E. Par
sons received hi.s last company for the season,
numbering one hundred guests. The last parties
are o£T for Ashford Bill, N*. T-, and Chapel Hill,
N. J.. which will be received in the homes there
this summer. Besides these, the sixth party that
has gone to We*t:ield. N. J.. left the city yester
day.
The following story Is told by a friend of The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund:
We were driving along a country road, lined
by well kept farm lands, with the farmers' homes
wherever we passed plowing thrift and pros] 1
ity. It was about three miles from one of the
most beautiful of the smaller towns in Northern
Pennsylvania, and in full view of an oldtlme vil
lage rising before us, that our driver turned his
horses to the right, avoiding thus by his choice of
roads a long, ateej> bill. To our left, after the
turn, we name In sight Of a spacious farmhouse
set back on rising ground beyond orchard and
pasture land.
"That is a bride's home." said one of our party
to the visitor who was taking In alike familiar
scenes and the changes wrought in some cases in
years of absence.
"The bride! "Who is she?"
"She was one of the very first party of Fresh
Air children sent out to this neighborhood years
ago. when the Rev. Mr. X awakened Interest
in the town and among tlie farmers. Before the
two weeks they were sent for was up Mr. X
received a letter from the grandmother of this
little girl. The writer told of being over eighty
years old, with health and life Itself now too
precarious to be able to care longer for the child.
who?" parents, she. wrote, were both worthless and
had left the little one wholly to her grandmother.
Would not the minister try to find some kind fam
ily who would adopt Bessie, so that the grand
mother might be at rest about her?
"That, happily, had not been difficult to do.
Years have passed on and the little friendless city
girl— the one aged relative who had cared for her
having closed her earthly labors mean time — grew
up healthy in body and mind, a dear inmate of a
well ordered, Industrious home. She is doubly a
daughter of the household now — bride this
year of one of its sons. They have grown up to
gether and. knowing each other well, tne auspices
for their future happiness arc of the brightest.
Theirs is a real romance, one worthy of the name,
one that has awakened the sympathetic interest
of all the neighborhood to which not very many
years ago the bride came and was adopted. The
pastor through whom her adoption came about per
formed for the young couple tne marriage cere
mony In the Eastertide this spring."

[The Tribune Fresh Air Fund was the first
rrovement of the kind in the country. Every
other one, here or elsewhere, has been started
after an imitation of this pioneer. The Tribune
cordially welcomes all coiaborers in the field;
but, without wishing to depreciate in the least
the work of others, thinks it its duty to remind
readers that the Tribune Fresh Air Fund is. so
far as known, the only one in which absolutely
every dollar contributed by the public goes di
rectly to the work of sending a poor child to
the country, keeping him there for two weeks
and bringing him back again. Every .93 insures
such a vacation to at least one child. There
have been years In which, owing to the magni
tude of the operation of the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund, such a result was insured by every $2 50.
No collectors are ever employed, and all col
lections made for it are purely voluntary. All
expenses for organization, agents and the gen
eral machinery of the charity are privately de
frayed by The Tribune Itself and by the trus
tees of the fund. There are no percentages to
collectors to come out of the contributions of
the public, and no payments to agents, mana
gers, secretary or others. Every dollar goes
straight to the benefit of the child. Checks or
money orders may be drawn to the order of the
Tribune Association, by whom prompt acknowl
edgment will be made.]

Old Methods of Treatment Still Used
in France.
Paris. Aug. 10.— The thirteenth congress of
nerve and brain doctors using the French lan
guage opened at Brussels on August 1. and the
programme of the fortnight* work— ex
haustive one— includes a visit of inspection to
the two principal lunatic asylums of Belgium.
Following so closely as it does upon ttM re-
Cent sensational arrest and sequestration in
Charenton Asylum of Mr. Bertie Harriot, an
English journalist, a naturalized resident in
Paris, which has drawn the attention of the
public to the subject of the treatment of the in
sane, the doings oftthe congress will be watched
with special interest. It has long been felt that
the administration of the French Lunacy act of
IS3S and the internal management of the va
rious asylums in France left much to be desired,
and the proceedings now being taken by Mr.
Marrict against Dr. Fere will be made the oc
casion of an investigation into the working of
the law.
Mr. Harriot's case is this: On the strength
of a brief interview with that gentleman, at the
Instigation, as he believes (though the point Is
not clear) of his own wife, a certain Dr. FerS
pronounced him to be a dangerous lunatic and
wrote out a certificate to that effect. The pre
fect, who was then applied to. instituted soma
perfunctory inquiries, chiefly of concierges, dis
missed servants and the like, and then handed
Mr. Marriot over to the asylum of Charenton,
where he would probably have remained to this
day had he not, as he himself remarked, "re
membered that, though naturalized in France,
I was born a British subject," and accordingly
made an appeal to the British embassy.
On the fifteenth day of his detention there
the house doctor, having seen him daily for a
few minutes, gave a certificate In which he
stated that he found no signs of insanity in his
patient. Thirty days later the same doctor
signed a second certificate, declaring that dur
ing the forty-five days that Mr. Marrlot had
now been under supervision he had shown no
signs of madness, and he (Dr. Christian) con
sidered that he might safely be set at liberty.
In spite of these two certificates, however, the
management professed itself totally unable to
dismiss a person who had been handed over to
the establishment as a lunatic, and but for the
admirable organization of the British consular
service it is probable that Mr. Marrlot would
never have escaped from his painful position.
After fifty-seven terrible days of tension he was
at last released by the exertions of his friends,
and Is now bringing an action for "dommagea et
inttrets" against Dr. Fere.
Mr. Marrlot's experience shows up the glaring
defect in the Lunacy act of 1838, which places
the liberty of the individual entirely in the
hands of a single medical practitioner, who
may or may not be wholly disinterested, and
who may or may not have a previous acquaint
ance with his patient. A reform has been sug
gested which would give the sole power of de
cision in such cases to a select committee, to
whom the doctor, in the character of an expert,
would merely make his report, and although it
is obvious that under no system could all pos
sibility of mistakes be entirely precluded, In
this way they would at least be minimized.
Forty years ago France was in advance of all
the nations of Europe in her treatment of the
Insane. She was the first to recognize in lunacy a
disease, and while In other countries the luna
tics were treated as criminals and placed in
chains, she built hospitals for their reception
and treated them as sick.
To-day the asylums of Germany are the best
organized and the best managed In Europe.
There the French system of classification, the
English principle of no restraint, the open door
of Scotland, the substitution of Individual for
collective treatment, the abolition of solitary
confinement—these and many other Improve
ments have been adopted and perfected. While
the asylums of France are to-day exactly what
they were forty years ago, in Germany, Switzer
land and Italy radical changes have been made.
Both German provinces and Swiss cantons
spend more in the service of the Insane than do
the French departments. The cost a day to the
State of each . ient is considerably less in
France than in cither of these countries. The
average varies from 1 franc to 1.25 franca,
which is obviously too low a figure, while in the
eastern departments it even falls as low as 80
centimes a day! On the other hand, in the
Rhenish province the average is 2.41 franco.
Another department in which admirable work
is being done in Germany is that of epileptic
patients. In France this branch is In the rudi
mentary stage only. The sole satisfactory way
of treating epilepsy has been found to be in
special settlements, where, during lucid inter
vals, the patients can enjoy their liberty. This
system has been adopted at fiielefeld and Ber
lin, with the best possible results.
There ip, happily, now every reason to hope
for some distinct reforms In the French Seques
tration laws. Medical congresses, the scientific
press and public meetings are all In turn helping
forward the movement. Independent thinkers
are making war on obsolete routine, and by a
comparison of the work now being done In
France with that of other countries they are
conclusively demonstrating the fuct' that from a
pioneer the nation has fallen lamentably behind
all her neighbors. c. I. B.
NOTES OF THE STAGE.
John Ellsler Dead— Belasco Theatre to Open
Wednesday, September 16.
After a brief illness. John Ellsler. a veteran actor
and manager, died yesterday at his home, Xo. 473

To Leave Cabinet This Winter— Not
to Enter Politics Here.
Elihu Root, the Secretary or War. sailed for
Liverpool yesterday on the Celtic. He goes to
England to take part in the deliberations of the
Alaskan Boundary Commission. Before sailing tho
Secretary said he would probably leave the Cabinet
about the middle of tho winter. He would not
enter into any discussion of his future plan?, ex
cept to deny that he intended to take an active
part in politics in this State.
With the Secretary were Mrs. Root and Miss
Edith Root On the same steamship sailed Judge
John M. Dickinson, of Chicago; John W. Foster,
ex-Secretary of State, and Hannis Taylor, of Ten
nessee, ex-Minister to Spain, who are to act as
counsel for the United States before the commis

"I expect to be gone until November." said Mr.
Root; "I go over as a member of the Alaskan
Boundary Commission."
As to his resignation, he said: "I do not care to
discuss that. I am not going to get out until the

much that the ordinary traveller does not see. be

as long in each place as fancy dictated, enjoying

oi the Samoan Islands and the interesting sights
greatly impressed them, for last night at the Hol
land House, where they are staying ur.iil they
sail on tho St. Louis on Wednesday, they con
stantly harked back to those islands in their con
versation.
"lv the Fiji Islands," said Mr. Platt, "the na
tives, while dark skinned, have bright yellow hair.
The Samoans and the dwellers in the Friendly
group have tiark hair, as one would expect to :inJ.
In Tonga the natives do not count the white man
as superior. The native says: 'I'm the best man.;
the Samoan is next, then ihe Fiji, then my pig (the
pig is a favorite animal), then the white man!" At

MOODY AT THE NAVY YARD.
TALKS WITH LABORERS.
Secretary of Navy Pleased rvith Re
sult of Inspection.
Greeted by a battalion of marines drawn up
to attention, and a salute of seventeen guns
from the receiving ship Columbia. William H.
Moody. Secretary of the Navy, paid his first
official visit to the Brooklyn Navy Yard yes
terdaar. He came from tho Dolphin, anchored
at Toiiipkinsville. in a navy yard tug. with
Chief Naval Constructor Bowles, and was ac
companied by him and Rear Admiral Rodgers.
commandant of the yard, on his tour of inspec
tion.
After a short conference with the depart
ment heads in the commandant's office. So<
rttnry Moody started out on foot, visiting the
ways of the battleship Connecticut, several of
the docks, and a number of the shops of the
department of construction and repair. He
stooped frequently to question the laborers at
work, and shook the hand of John W.
Tilley. a blacksmith working on the Connecti
cut, who was known personally by Chief Con
structor Bowles. In reply to queries Tilley said
that he was perfectly satisfied with the piece
work system, recently established. In place of
the weekly wage. He said that he could make
about twice as much as he did while at a
Southern yard, but that his helpers cost him
much more.
One of the most Important things considared
by Secretary Moody was a plan by Constructor
Bowks tor increasing the berthing facilities at
the yard by cutting off a portion of the Cob
Dock and building piers.
"It Is absolutely necessary to have large dock-
In.? facilities In a large city, where there Is an
i:n!imtt?d supply of labor," said Mr. Bowles.
"In th* Civil and Spanish wars this station was
the centre of activity in the matter of supplies
and repairs, and in times of emergency it Is ab
solutely necessary to have plenty of dock room
here."
Secretary Moody will not discuss this plan
until it conies before him officially next winter.
He expressed himself as most favorably im
pressed with the progress on the battleship
Connecticut and with the general equipment of
the yard. After taking luncheon at the home
of Commandant Rodgers, Secretary Moody re
turned to Tompkinsville.
