Naples, Italy, June ll, 1907.
i??v Editor: I arrived in Naples the
^norning of May 30th, the steamer
doming to another point about 10
.oViofck The Bay of Naples is said to
*One of the most beautiful in the
*Wori?\ With Vesuvius on the right
<"3tnd & frowning castle on the left, to
igeOier with a number of attractive
"V&ages spreading around the city,
*0??e is ready to concur in the opinion,
"So often expressed, that this is one of
the prettiest spots in the world. The
3Bay of Naples has boen so frequently
.described that it will be unnecessary
$or me to add anything further. Our
pitty was SvOn landed and were met
^ the American consuls at ?Naples
Messina, Messrs. Byington and j
"CaUghy. Because of our mission the
italian government had arranged that !
"Our baggage be speedily inspected and
"We were therefore in a short while at
??arker"s Hotel, where some rooms
?J&d been engaged for us. After a voy
"aj?e'of twelve days we were delighted
^0 be on land, though the voyage it
"Self was most pleasant, both the sun
ithove and the sea below being friend

The next morning we went to the
.^migration station to witness the
*tncthod of inspection of emigrants.
While there we were joined by Caval?
ier Adolfe Rosi, one of the commis?
ioners of emigration, who has been
*s*nt from Rome by the government
"to place himself at our disposal in
order to facilitate in every way our
"work, the importance of which is rec?
ognized by the Italian government.
While at the custom house we also
Inspected most thoroughly one of the
"new Italian ships, the "Florida," go?
ing down to the lowest decks used by
"the emigrants, testing the food and
inspecting the sleeping and eating
Quarters. We also inspected the meth?
od used by the ship for the inspection
vOf emigrants. We have at Naples
^three physicians, two Americans, Drs.
i?o?j?ughi?n and Foster, who. are at
"tache? tb the United States Health
&nd Marine Hospital service, and one
italian, Dr. Bonacori, who is employ
*ed. by the government. The method
-s>i medical inspection is thorough, as
"no emigrants who have not been
passed ^n favorably by cur doctors
^ar? ^admitted to the ship. The larg
^ emigration from Italy comes from
Naples, and it is therefore pleasant to
Sad the methods of inspection so
^ftorough. Emigrants from Naples

In the afternoon, as ic is the cus?
usa in this country, we called official?
ly 'oh the governor, or perfetto, as
fe called? of this province, who re
f C"??v-e? "tts with every courtes3\ and
-T-^-cailed our call the same day, which
ls regarded as exhibiting tte highest
consideration.
The next day we undertook to see
teorne bf the ruins of the ancient cities,
?*ompeii and Herculaneum, and the
*?Uage of Boscotrecasa, which only
^?bbM one year ago was destroyed b|
it new eruption cf Vesuvius. These
Spaces have been so ofter described
3fit?? I shall not attempt a description,
^hiy *co say as all do that we found in
"them mtfen of interest.
i On Sunday we attended services at
^ Presbyterian church and- heard the
.good, 'old-fashioned Go-pel as it is
.preached at home. The theme dis?
cussed hy the preacher was the heal?
ing of the Centurian's servant, and
Xiwelt cor siderably on the idea of
obedience, and spoke of St. Paul on
^?ts way to Damascus, and the in?
quiry he made when he was stricken
.dtown. "Lord, what wilt thou have
toe do?" and i.t recalled to mind the
feet that we were in the same co?n
*try through which he passed on his
****ay to Rome. The sermon was by a
Scotch clergyman, and ' it was a very
"refreshing and pleasant hour that we
Spent in the little chapel.
. In the afternoon by special invita?
tion, we were takei. to the Royal Pal
*?Ce "in Naples, and given an opportu?
nity to admire its beauty.
On Monday morning Commissioner
feossi had arranged to have two of
*fch>? best students of emigration in |
Italy- to meet us. Prof. Nitti and Mr. I
??>retti. Both of these gentlemen are |
tnembers of parliament, which cor- |
v^sponds to our congress, the mero' j
"te^-rs of which are called "deputati."
\Se went with these gentlemen, and
"the ladies of their fail.?lies, on a spe?
cif?? steamer to the famous Island of
*C?i>rI, and although we had crossed
4.000 miles of ocean without any
"trouble, many of us succumbed on
^his short trip to our first attack of
"S^^svefcness, and offered, up our
"breakfast as a sacrifice. However, the
commissioner treated us a beauti
"tul luncheon at the leading hotel on
"the island, and we were soon all
"tight again. After luncheon we view?
ed the Roman villa of the Ame rican
.consular agent, Mr. Jerome, a most
'interesting building, and then in car
"Ci&ges we passed over one of the most
"beautiful roads I have ever seen,
"which winds on an easy grad?- up and

th*?, village entertained us by execut?

On Wednesday, after compl?
: some necessary" shopping, Mc
j Eurnett, Bennett and myself tools
; 7 o'clock train for a tour of ins
j tisn through Sicily and Southern I
[ arriving at Messina, Sicily, a
.'o'clock the next morning after ai
I night ride in a very comfortable 1
I man car. By previous arrangent
j we were met at the wharf by
j Caughy, the American consul,
I Maurice Fishberg and Mr. Rober
j Doremus, who are connected with
I commission, and who preceded u
Sicily. That morning we had an
teresting interview with the perf
or governor, of the province of 2
sina. whose jurisdiction extends <
500,000 people, and which provine
one of three in the Island of Si
each governed by a perfetto, wh
the representative of the king.
Island of Sicily has a total popula
of 3,500,000 persons. At 1.30 p.
we were on our way to Gesso. As s
as we had left the city limits of S
sina, with the American vice, COE
Mr. Peirce, as- our guide and in
preter, I was attracted again by
? fact that we were on a very remar
! ble and marvelous road, such a;
found all over Sicily. The cour
here is very mountainous, but i
road was s? well constructed and
such an easy grade that thougi
was a continual ascent carriges mc
along without apparent discomfort
to the horses. The road bed was b
and firm and the system of drain;
had been worked out with so gr
skill that it was a positive pleasure
climb such mountains as we did.
a distance of not more than 1
miles, rising to an altitude of ab<
2,000 feet At the village of Gesso
were met by the sindica, or mav
and two Carabinieris, members of
magnificent state police force w
had been assigned to that village :
that afternoon by the perfetto of 1
province to assist us in our investis
t!on as well as to show respect to c
mission. Gesso is a village which t
a few years ago had over 5,000 pop
lation, but which now has probal
fewer than 1,800, though that was t
figure given us by the mayor, abe
one in nine of those left being a m
in his prime, the rest being old m<
old women and children. Upon i
qu}**y we found that the former i
habitants are now located at Phil
delphia. Pa., Atlantic City-, Pleasar
ville and Hammondtown, X. J. O:
of the old churches in the village' w
burned last Christmas day and it w
an interesting and curious sight
see on the walls of this burn<
church, which itself dates back mai
centuries, a printed. subscription li
of over 300 former residents of .Ge
so, who now lives in the Unit<
States, and had sent the money bac
to assist in the restoration of tl
church in the village of the
childhood. Gesso is on top <
a mountain which qverlool
the Mediterranean. Going to tl
boundary of the village we came to
place where we had the unusual SDe<
tacle of seeing two smoking vole?
noes, Aetna and Stromboli, whic
still have frequent eruptions. We n
turned to Gesso by the same roa<
reaching our hotel about 8 o'clocl
One thing that impressed me ver
deeply was the immense amount o
work necessary in the utilization c
every available inch of ground on th
steep hill sides. There are terrace
constructed with? stone walls any
where from three to twenty feet hig?.
which protect the soil, the terrace
being not much wider than the wall
are high, and such terraces exten
really to the top of the mountains
On these terraces are grown all th
crops that are raised in the southeri
part of South Carolina.
We were taken to dinner by th
American consul and his charmin;
and estimable wife, and given an op
portunity to taste so mp purely Sicil
ian dishes, one of which made of rice
chicken giblets, and solid yolks o
eggs, mixed with meat gravy, was <
very delicious dish.
The perfetto called on us the nex
morning at our hotel and we had f
very interesting interview of mor<
than an nour with hint. H*-- brough
several minor officials with him. anc
during his visit the chief of police
[Called here the sequesters, dropped in
j as did the local inspector of emigra?
tion.
At 2 o'clock we started for Toarmi
na. a typical Sicilian village thre
miles up the mountain side from thi
railroad station, where we-made in?
quiries relative to emigration, anc
also were shown some noteworthy an
tiquities. It is a most beautiful place
and one which is frequently visit?e
by American tourists during the win?
ter.
The next morning we went to Sira
eusa, the ancient Syracuse, of which
history speaks s:? much, and which
was formerly a city of over a mil?
lion inhabitants, but now contains
about 30.000. We held some import?
ai.t interviews with the perfetto, and
rhe British vice consul. Mr. Joseph
Lobb, who is well informed on the
subject of emigration. He also gave
n e a great deal ol' information in re?
gard to the farm products and the
condition of the Sicilian in h?.< na?
tive land. We were in conference with
Mr. Lobb well on to midnight. We
also met here Mr. Frank Murphy, of
Arizona. whr> gave a glowing account
>f the fine trip he and his wife have
had through Sicily in an automobile.
During the afternoon, Mr. Caughy,
who accompanied us, took us to see
some of the celebrated antiquities of
ancient Syracuse, including the ear "f
Dionysius, which is a marvelous de?
velopment of acoustics. We stood at
the entrance and our guide gave us
a test of the echoes of the cave, and
made the statement that Dionysius
used it as a jail for political prisoners
and where, from a station above, his
guards could hear the slightest whis?
pers of those confined therein. As to
the truth of this I make no statement.
We also visited the catacombs, said
to have been constructed by the
Christians of Syracuse in the first
century, and which offers evidence of
great antiquity. I was much impress?
ed with the catacombs, which extend
for some three miles through solid
rock, and cut in three tiers. There is
a difference of opinion as to their
origin. One is that they were quar?
ries from which stone was taken to
build ancient Syracuse, while it is
also claimed that they were con?
structed during the persecution of
the Christians in the first century,
who took refuge therein. It is evi?
dent from paintings made on the
ceilings of the church connected with
the catacombs, also cut in solid rock,
showing pictures of St. Paul and oth
ginkwwgro rrv aanea ip as?old.fPor
er apostles, as well as that of the Vir-.
gin, that these catacombs were used
by the Christians in the earliest years
of the Christian era. It is also said
that in this church St. Paul preached
on one of his missionairy journeys,
and we found on its ceiling a fresco
of the apostle which is evidently very
old and which is said to date back to
the fourth century. These were the
most interesting and impressive spots
that I have yet -visited here.
On our way from Syracuse to Pe
; lermo we passed through a very
'excellent agricultural region on which
I crops very similar to our own are be
i ing grown, and where for the first
time we saw a plow. The grain is
still being reaped in the way describ?
ed in the Book of Ruth. We also
passed through Castro gi ovami, the
center of the sulphur industry of the
island, and were interested in observ?
ing the great cakes of concentrated
sulphur at the railroad station and
on the other side.
We have concluded our investiga?
tion in Palermo and on the Island of
Sicily, and return tonight by steamer
to Naples to rejoin the rest of party.

FIRST RHODES SCHOLAR.
William Crittenden Back in Califor?
nia. With a High Record at Oxford
-Say? Americans Woke Up.
Berkeley, Cal.. July 6.-Rhodes
scholars from the wild and woolly
Western Hemisphere may have sent
chills up and down the spine of old
Oxford by perforating window.pane*,
with bullets from 44-calibre six-shoot?
ers, and stories may have come across
the sea as to the rather poor rank of
the American students, but California,
just the samt is pretty proud of a
young fellow named William Critten?
den, who has just got back from his
course as a beneficiary of the great
foundation made by Cecil Rhodes.
Crittenden was the first Rhodes
scholar to reach Oxford. He was also
the first to get away-at least the first
to get away with a clean record for
the full course. As a matter of fact,
Crittenden finished up his three years'
work in two years and spent the ex?
tra year seeing things in odd corners
of the continent, and in taking a spe?
cial course in law.
Now, about everybody in this sec?
tion of California knows Crittenden.
In fact, he is notorious. To begin
with, he was one of the brightest pu?
pils in ? school hereabout. As one
result of his youthful attainments, he
was picked out by a man who runs a
chain of newspapers in America to
make a trip around the world and tell
all about it in every edition from the
Connecticut "bulldog" to the ll p. m.
extras. He did the job very conscien?
tiously.
When he got back and went into
the University of California everybody
seemed to know all about Crittenden,
and the hazing that he got in his
freshman year would put West
Point in the shade and cover it up
with leaves. Pretty much all his first
term was spent in telling inquisitive
upper class men in compulsory lec?
tures just how he 'and the newspaper
chain had done it. Just the same, he
took it all in the proper spirit and
came to be one of the most Doular
men in college. He was president of
th? junior class here when he was
picked to go to Oxford.
From what can be learned unoffi?
cially about Crittenden's stay at Ox?
ford, he seems to have been the best
of the American students, as far as
rank goes, at least. Anyway, Cali?
fornia will claim that honor until the
returns come in.
There was a lot of talk a while
ago about the poor scholarship o. the
American Rhodes men. Crittenden
says that they are all doing very well.
Furthermone. he belives that the ;
Rhodes plan is a great one and will \
be of lasting benefit. "The first year,"
he says, "the Americans did not take
things seriously enough. The life
was. so free and easy that the Ameri?
cans did not seem to realize that there
was any work to do. The second year,
however, the men got down to real
work, and now they have a higher re?
gard for the English system of edu?
cation than they had at first."
For the English students whom he
met at Oxford, Crittenden has only
warm praise. "I do not think," he
says, "that the people of this country
appreciate the Englishman. The Eng?
lish are about as honest and sincere
and straightforward fellows as you
can meet anywhere. They are not at
all effusive; they have a sort of dig?
nity and reserve about them, to be
sure, but once you get to know them
they certainly are fine friends. They
stick by one another in spledid fash?
ion.
"They received us Rhodes scholars
with a great deal more courtesy, even,
than they show one anothr. They
knew we were strangers, and tried to
do everything they could to put us at
our ease. They seemed to see that if
the Rhodes scholarship scheme was
to succeed they would have to give
us an opportunity to see the English
home and the English life. Taking it
for granted that we were decent sort
of men. they invited us to join the
different societies and asked us to
visit their homes. . I remember that
one man invited us to shoot deer in
his private park. "That, of course, was
rather tame spart for a Californian,
but one couldn't help appreciating
the spirit ir. which the Englishman
gave the invitation."
Crittenden, while traveling in Asia
Minor a short time ago. had an ad?
venture with a gang of bandits. Now ?
he is prepared to settle down to law j
practice, or at least to the further j
study of that profession, with the
rich field that San Francisco now af?
fords as an inducement to remain in
this part of the country.

F. B. THURBER DEAD.
Well Known as a Lawyer. Publicist.
and Wholesale Merchant.
New York, July 5.-Francis Beatie
Thurber, the lawyer, of 90 Broadway
and 49 West Twenty-fifth street died
yesterday. The funeral will take place
on Monday from his late residence.
Mr. Tuurber, wholesale grocer,
lawyer, and publicist. w>?s born on a
farm near Delhi, Delaware county, X.
Y., on Nov. 13, 1842. He was edu?
cated at the Delaware Academy, in
Delhi, from which he was graduated
in 1854, and at Union Hall Academy,
where he took a post graduate course
in 1855 and IS56.
After several y?ars of farming Mr.
Thurber tired ol agriculture and came
to New York, where he obtained a po?
sition as office boy at $2 a week. He
afterward became a clerk in the es?
tablishments of Robert & Williams
and T. M. Wheeler & Co. and here he
picked up a thorough knowledge of
the grocery business. He saved a few
thousand dollars, which he later in?
vested in the business of Pupk*> &
Thurber, of which his brother, H. K.
Thurber, was a partner.
Mr. Thurber early demonstrated the
possession of an enormous capacity
for work, and eventually, after a ca?
reer as salesman and manager, be?
came the active head of the concern,
which was afterward known as Thur?
ber, Weyiand & Co., and, at one time
had the reputation of being the larg?
est wholesale grocery house in the
world. He succeeded his brother as
senior partner finally, and continued
the business until 1894, when, through
a superabundance of bad debts, the
firm passed into the hands of a re?
ceiver.
In the meanwhile, however, Mr.
Thurber had acquired a quantity of
other property which was not affect?
ed by the crash. He had also writ?
ten a book entitled "Coffee, from
Plantation to Cup," and had become
actively interested in public ques?
tions. On the advice of friends, he
began to study law, and was admit?
ted to the bar in 1899, with the repu?
tation of having been the oldest law
tudent in the history of the State. At
that time he was 57 years old. Al?
most immediately thereafter he or?
ganized the New York State Anti
Monopoly League, which was largely
instrumental in creating the State
Railroad Commission, which passed
out of existence last Monday. The
league also had something to do with
the creation of the Inter-State Com?
merce Commission.
Mr. Thurber joined several civic
and national organizations, and fre?
quently took an active part in current
debates. As early as 1|?6, when Wil?
liam Jennings- Bryan ra'sed the ques?
tion of exorbitant freight rates Mr.
Thurber took issue with, him, and as?
serted that the danger of the freight
situation at that time lay not in high
rates but in unfair discrimination in
rates.
In 1902 Mr. Thurber gained consid?
erable notoriety in connection with
t'..e Cuban reciprocity bill. He was
summoned before the senate sub-com?
mittee on relations with Cuba and
testified, after considerable question?
ing by Senator Tillman, that he had
received money both from the sugar
trust and the war department to car?
ry on a campaign in favor of the
measure.
Mr. Turber was at one time presi?
dent of the United States Export as?
sociation and as such took an active
interest in protection. He had con?
siderable ability as a speaker and fre?
quently spoke on tariff questions. He
was a vice president of the National
Board of Trade, vice president of the
Irrigation association, a life member
of the National Academy of Design,
a member of the Metropolitan Muse?
um of Art. a member of the Chamber
of Commerce, the Board of Trade
and Transportation, and the Ameri?
can ?Economical association. He be?
longed to the Uunion league, the Re?
publican and the Press clubs.
In IS69 Mr. Thurber married Jea?
nette Meyer ?"f Brooklyn, who after?
ward founded the National Conserva?
tory of Music, and who practically or?
ganized the American Opera Compa?
ny. They had two daughters, one of
! whom. Marianne Thurber, married
Francis L. Pruyn last March. Later
she appeared as an 'actress ai Keith
& Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre.
Mr. Thurber had a summer home
at Onteora Park, in the Catskills.
RIOTS IN RUSSIA.
Peasants in Country Near St. Peters?
burg Attack Troops-Many Serious?
ly Hurt.
St. Petersburg. July S.-A wide?
spread revolt is feared as a result o?
the uprising of two thousand peasants
in the Schlusselburg district east of
here. Already the peasants and
troops have clashed, and the rioters
were worsted, mr.ny seriously hurt.
Rioting is stilt in progress. It is fear?
ed that the nearness of the uprising
will breed riots among the working- ?
men here. Socialistic agitators are j
playing on tue laborers' sympathies.
C<?cs the Other Way.
An irascible man was on a Brook?
lyn trolley car late at night and was
complaining about the slowness with
which it went. He fumed and fretted
and annoyed everyone by h s fre?
quent remarks. At last he addressed
the conductor, a big. good-natured
looking Irishman, and said:
"Look here, does this car go this
way all the time?"
The conductor smiled at him be?
nignly, and answered in a sot tone
of voice:
'No, sir: when we get to the car
bar. we turn around and come back."
The grumbler subsided while the
rest of the passer.sr*-rs smiled con?
tentedly with the soft answer that
turneth away wrath.-Ex.
Much Simpler.
At a country fair a man went up to
a tent where some elk were on exhi?
bition and stared wistfully up at the
sign.
"I'd like to go in there," he said to
the keeper, "but it would be mean to
go in without my family, and I can?
not afford to pay for my wife and 17
children."
The keeper stared at him in aston?
ishment. "Are all those your chil?
dren?" he gasped.
. "Every one," said the man.
"You wait a minute," said the keep?
