I seeping Away.
A Special Cablegram to Tbe Star.
j* ROME, July 20.?According to an Italian
X writer, one of the drawbacks to traveling
Y In Italy Is the hotels. The condition of the
S hotels In these out-of-the-way places Is
A such as to dishonor a civilized country,
Y just as a defeat In war might, in many
places hotels are even wanting because
Y traveling strangers ar?^ wanting, and unY
der these conditions and circumstances the
A writer does not hold the nat'vos greatly to
* blame. Occasionally In such places the visjf
(tor has to seek lodging in a private res
? Idence. If the traveler Is furnished with
y the proper letters of recommendation he
? finds that the ancient hospitality prevails.
>* the "siBnori" of the place offering their
'j* house, their carriage and their table to the
}, visitor during his stay, and all with the
most exquisite courtesy.
y Not to speak of the places that are insignificant
and without any special attrac?
tlons where the stranger would never dell*
sire to stop, there are cities and towns
J. which are centers of art and history, or
jf are starting places for excursions, or which
are Joyous in the possession of fair views
? and pure, fresh air.
5* One of the peculiar features met with in
I. p*>ntr:il It;ilv is th.it of hnvinsr thp towns
? far distant from the railway station, and
I* to reach your destination you may have to
X pajjs from one to two or more hours in
y what is facetiously termed a diligence and
5* sometimes still more facetiously called a
p. carriage. To begin with, says the Traveling
Italian, this Is a serious Inconvenience.
But when the Journey has to be made under
a burning sun or in the midst of sun
y and rain, in a horrible old, disconnected
?* vehicle with one door that will not open
5* and another that will not shut, driven by a
j? jehu eighty years of age or a boy of seven,
i dragged by an indeecslbable roslnante,
J, whether horse or mule or donkey, the unit
declaklng becomes a serious Affair. You
fi> can, if you are good-natured and If one
? of your fellow travelers is not given to
^ blaspheming and the otner to lamenting the
evil state of affairs, amuse yourself by
? looking abroad on the country, which, as
r often happens, is enchanting in Its plc5,
turesque beauty. Sometimes, too, you may
X laugh at the witticisms of the driver or a
passenger. But when you reach the inn
you laugh no more.
? The Inn is of various kinds. It Is alii'
ways or nearly always set in the noisiest
y center, where the population Is most
numerous, and where every view of the
surrounding lanscape is shut out. It is
= the antiquated "locanda," or lodging,
where the host .and hostess do all of the
work. They receive the guests, clean the
i rooms, wash the linen, keep the accounts,
do the cooking and carry on the conversation.
This, says the Italian Traveler,
is what Is called the "old style,dirty and
good-natured. It is not infrequent that
the mistress of the house, showing you
lnft) your room and pointing out the
sleep-destroying bed, the rickety chairs,
the wash basin no larger than a soup
plate, with a water Jug that looks like a
coffee pot, turns to you with a prodigious
serenity, saying, "As for cleanliness, don't
let that trouble you, sir! I take care of
hat mvofllf onH T Ir nntir V? n ?l/.n ?.l
^ ?- ?' j ""u -* """ " Liiai ^i?;aiiiiiicoa
.< In a hotel Is everything!"
f It iti needless to follow the writer Into
f other details?the signs that the floor has
been unswept and notoriously unwashed
'* for months; the lost hairpin of some unit
tidy waiting maid; the cigar ashes left so
'* long ago by some untidy tenant who strove
](. to deaden the musty smell of the place, and
other evidences of neglect.
if These and other things, such as poor
food, rendered unfit for human beings
by wretched cookery, make a tour in certain
parts of Italy a series of adventures,
T" and not always adventures of ihe most
pleasant kind. A very celebrated art
]? critic, who in the pursuit of his researches
was obliged to visit every vlllage
and town of !Tmbrla and the Idarche,
had his health ruined by bad and lnsuf.f
licient nourishment, even the almost uni
f vernal egg was not to be had. As a rule
in even the most neglected hotels or inns
it usuallv hannfnK thnt the he<l linen i.vi
^ clean; though In V'almontone in the auTi
tumn seasons, when fruits are piled up in
the bedroom and insects of many kinds
Inhabit these rooms, it is often the part
of wisdom to sit up all night and let
these insects fight out a sort of tribal
war among themselves.
Americans who are pouring Into Europe
by the thousands and tens of thousands
will, unless they are accustomed to "roughing
it," do well to keep out of many sections
of the interior of Italy. As a general
thing, by hugging the seaport cities they
tan get along, and if worst comes to worst
can head for some fair-sized town and
find a boat and make their way back to the
comforts of civilization.
Victor Emanuel III, the King of Italy, Is
not only one of the most "constitutional"
ii | oi Kings, uui ne is one or me most democratic.
He lias recently been interviewed. '
i ami lie openly says that he takes little In- J
terest in politics, leaving to his ministers 4
i tile duty of/regulating the affa'rs of the ,
nation. He prefers, he says, meeting the ,
people themselves; attending the inaugura- ,
tion of art exhibitions, the laying of foun- *
datlon stones and the reception of the nu- ?
merous princely and notable persons who i
visit Italy. f.
In giving his opinion of the Italian poet,
Giosue Carduccl. and the French poet and
novelist, Victor Hugo, the king said Uiat It
was his belief that the French people read
fewer of the works of Carduccl in the original
and knew much less about him than ^
was the case with the Italians in refurence
to Victor Hugo. The king is also an enthusiastic
automobilist, and in the discourse '
I between the interviewer and Victor Eman- t
I uel III upon this subject Ills majesty ex- /
pressed tne opinion that tlie motor industry
was still in its infancy. 0
Excavations on Palatine Hill, which was 8
the site of the ancient city of Rome founded i:
by Romulus and afterward the spot selected li
by Augustus and his successors in the em- F
pire for the palace of the Caesars, have just .
I revealed the existence in the center of the ;
- hill of a very Important tomb, situated be- 1
neath the foundations of early construc- t
tions. It resembles the most ancient tombs ;
of Ktruria and seems to have be^u imiB

may interject, that a lurge number of the 3
establishments included in the earlier cen- 1
suses, particularly the one for 1850, were t
of such a character that they would not v
have been enumerated under the rules fol- t
lowed in 1905. It is interesting to note i
that the number of establishments and t
also the number of wage earners fell ofT t
materially between 1900 and 1005. The
number of sa.laried officials and clerks, {
however, increased from 14,238 to 18,485, T
and th?lr salaries from approximately $12,- ^
500,000 to $20,000,000. The earnings of h
wage earners increased from $148,000,000
to $183,000,000, notwithstanding a decline
of nearly 9,000 employes from 1900 to 1905.
In 1880 there were 5,907 children under six- B
teen years of age reported as at work; in
