SUMTER WOMAN AT AN ENGLISH
CELEBRATION.
Miss Ellsabetii Wilson Is Taking Part
In the Historic Pageant Going on at
Bath, England.
Bath, Eng., July 22.?A dosen
charming young American women are
taking attractive part in the histori?
cal pageant being held here this
week. The tableau which is most
applauded Is that in which the Amer?
icans appear.
Each day at the close of the pa?
geant, which reproduces events in the
history of this ancient city, "Lady
Bathe" enters, accompanied by a
sword bearer and pages, robed in
cloth of gold, and takes, position on
the steps of a temple.
Then appear the twelve young wo?
men from the United States, each rep?
resenting a city or town named Bath
and the State in which it is situated.
They are:
From Iii lion is, Miss Sission; Ken?

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
n ? h the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf?
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin?
ing of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it Is entirely closed, Deaf?
ness is the result, und unless the in?
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in?
flamed condtlon of the mucous sui
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
f"i any case of Deafness (caused by
eatarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu?
lars, free.

By c. c. Brown.
The following communication of
historic interest, from Dr. C. C.
Brown, who is now in Europe, will he
read with interest in connection with
his recent letter to this paper from
Switzerland, and which was written
just after this one here was printed.
The Item is indebted to the Baptist
Courier for this clipping.
It cannot be denied that Baldeker'a
Guide Books are highly valuable, full
of information, and almost indispen
sable to the tourist; but ?e and his
collaborators are all Germans, with a
strong leaning towards a sort of de?
structive critcism. Over many places
and things of interest, whose historic
genuineness cannot be disproved.
Baldeker casts a suspicion of doubt,
simply because the facts about the
place or thing cannot be proven to a
demonstration. Stoddard In his lec?
tures and Burton Holmes in his Trav?
elogues are not so sceptical, and dayJ
by day I rejoice over the fact that I
have read and made copious notes
from these books.
Yesterday, after leaving Posillppo.
we drove on to Pozzuoli. If the apos?
tle Paul had not gone there, 2000
years ago, it might never have occur?
red to me to go there yesterday. The
town of 15,?00 Inhabitants is situated
on the northern and eastern point of
the land at the mouth of the Bay of
Naples, and it is eight miles away.
Out in the sea, east or a little south?
east from Pozzuoli, lie three islands?
Ischia, the largest, is a small moun?
tain, rising precipitously from the
Mediterranean; next is Proclda, and
I then Mlseno. A little southwest of
I Posilippo lies a small, rocky island
I known now as Nisida. The son of
J Lucullus owned a villa here, and here
I Brutus fled, in B. C. 44, after he had
j killed Caesar. Here also Cicero vislt
I ed him, and here he took leave of his
I wife Portia on his departure for
I Greece. Shakespeare has outlined
this pathetic parting, and I refer my
j readers to that gentleman for further
I instruction.
But Pozzuoli?that is the place 1
I am now seeking. Luke says, in de
I scribing Paul's journey to Rome. "On
J the second day. we came to Puteoli,
I where we found brethren, and were
J intreated to tarry with them seven
J days, and so we came to Rome." Con
I ceiving of the Bay of Naples as a
horse-shoe In shape, Pozzuoli is the
northern or upper point. In Paul'
j day, It was the most important com
I mtroial city in Italy, and the prin?
cipal depot of traffic with Egypt and
the East. At present, it Is a town
of about 15,000 inhabitants. Just be
I yond the suburbs is the crater of th?
I half-extinct valcano of Solfatara.
I from numerous Assures in which va
I pors and gases still ascend. Puteoli
I Juts out into the bay, and there is a
J small quay on each side, offering pro
I tection to ships; so that one who
walks along the edge of the bay could
j not be far from the place of the apos
I tie's landing. Just ahead of him, on
I an elevation of rock, he saw the great
j amphi-theatre for Roman games. In
I its ruins today, It is magnificent and
inspiring. It is 472 feet long by 384
j feet wide, while the arena proper If
236 by 138 feet. It provided seats for
I 30.000 spectators. We walked through
I the subterranean passages and chain -
J hers, the prisons where captives were
j held until sent into the arena to light
I and die, the dens where wild beasts
I were kept, which opened into the are
I na above. A water oonduit is still
I seen, by means of which the whole
1 of the arena could be flooded, when
I naval combats were to be presented.
I During the reign of Diocletian, many
j Christians were here thrown to the
wild beasts, and torn limb from limb
"to make a Roman holiday." The
I large cell or jail in which they were
I kept until called out to meet death in
J its most horrible form, is marked by
? large marble tablet. Many tradi
I tions concerning the martyrdom of
I Christians centre about this place,
such as that we find about Januarius,
whom the lions refused to tear, and
j it was found necessary to kill him
j with clubs.
i Not far away from the amphithe
I atre. Paul must have looked upon the
temple of Serapls. This filled a
square court of one-third of an acre.
I The court is still surrounded by tho
I remains of 48 massive granite col
I umns. The portico rested on six Cor
I lnthlan columns, three of which still
remain. All of these columns are
j worm-eaten, showing that at some
time In the past the whole plot of
land has been below the sea. One ex?
planation I* that the Solfatara volcano
erupted about a thousand years ago,
and the land sunk below the sea lev?
el; another Is that the low place of
j the temple was once filled with sea
water and used as a fish tank. At
any rate, the worm holes In the col
I umns are there.
j The fact that Paul landed nt Pu?
teoli is still a blessing to the inhabi?
tants. Thousands of tourists visit the
place annually, and each one of them
pays a franc at the amphitheatre, or
lunches at a restaurant or sleeps in a
hotel. If Paul had never landed there
the town would have no special his?
toric Interest.
Every one who visits Naples feels
called upon to ride around the bay

over the road that leads to Sorrento,
and now and then we come upon one
who tries to describe the thing; but
i must be excused. I am sure I could
rive no adequate idea of the delight?
ful excursion. The road leads by the
sea, now on a, level with it, now a
hundred feet above, beside lovely vil?
las, the homes of the wealthy,
through olive groves and orange
groves, the trees now laden with gold- I
en fruit, and finally brings one to Sor- |
t
rento, a beautiful town of five or six
thousand inhabitants, where we
lunched on a terrace a hundred feet
above and overlooking the waters of
the bay. J
But Pompeii?what can one say that
has not been said a thousand times9
It was destroyed in A. D. 79, Aug.
24th T he excavations, I guess, ex?
tend now about 1,000 yards in one
direction by 800 in another. The city
was a mile and a half by two miles.
The remaining portions are being slow?
ly excavated. A little tramway, with
^mall cars and a two foot track, car?
ries away the ashes. There are no
indications, as far as I could see, that
the city was ever burned by fire. It
lies as far from Vesuvius on one side
as Naples seems to lie on the other.
The cone of Vesuvius, which we as?
cended, and from which the smok?
is still rising, is a sister cone to the
me which destroyed the cities. As
said above, Pompeii was not destroy?
ed by fire. The lava dust, blown by
currents of wind seVeral miles
through the air, deluged the city.
The impression made upon me is that
the houses were thus covered about
as high as the first story; the upper
portions were not covered, but the
city was deserted, and the upper parts
of the houses wasted away. I say this
because all the houses?or a large
number of them?seem to have been
preserved up to the second story, and
all above that is gone. If I am fly?
ing in the face of history and the
facts, I beg pardon. I am only writ?
ing of the thing as it impressed me.
The widest streets are about 25 feet,
but 12 feet is the rule. The Pom
peiians seemed to live on good terms
with each other as neighbors, as the
houses are all contiguous, the east
wall of one house serving as the west
wall of another. I entered the former
home of my old friend. Sallust, and
from that got my best idea of an an?
cient Roman dwelling-place. The pic?
tures are cut on the wall?the dif?
ferent rooms?that is, the dining
room, bed rooms, servant's rooms ami
kitchen (with brick oven) are all
easily distinguished. The eompluouni
and the imploium?that is, the place
for the rain water to come in through
the roof and be caught and collected
In the yard below?arc all In there. The
mosaic tloor. made of bits of stone
or minerals a quarter of an inch
square, was wonderful to look at.

lava dust; but exposed to air, they are .

h? pinning to break up. At the corn- j
ers of a number of streets are water
fountains, whose stone curbs are worn
by the hands of time who came to
them for water. Xow and then step?
ping stones across the streets are
found, and the rough paving stones
show the ruts in which vehicles once
ran. I am inclined, however, to be?
lieve that only hand carts were used,
as the stepping stones are so high
and wide that horses could not well
get over them. The stores of the
wine merchants abound, each having
a marble counter with 10 or 20 gallon
terra cotta jars inserted. So too th?
store of the man who dyed cloths;
each has its great caldrons set over
and into brick furnaces for boiling
the articles to be dyed. But why con?
tinue this snsipid narrative? Let
one conceive of a town of brick and
stones houses, with narrow streets
the whole broken off at the first story,
and he will have a general idea of
Pompeii as it now stands, if ho W*ll
allow to almost each hOUS* an open
court in the centre surrounded by
stone or stucco columns. The pert
of the house on the street was for
business, and the rest for residence.
The rooms on the street were rented
( ut. It was customary to rent one
I part of the house to merchants or oth
I ers. and to live in the other part.
This rule still prevails. 1 am writing
this letter in a house, two stories of
which are rented f<?r boarding hous?s
while anotner story is occupied by the
j family of an Italian prince who own-s
the property.
I ah the treasures found at Pompeii
are stored in the museum at Naples.
To see the ruined city gives one but
half an Idea; to see the collection in
the museum gives the other half
Pots, beds, pans, water vessels, statu?
ary, loaves of bread, egg shells, pic?
tures from the walls, and a thousand
articles which tell of their manner of
life and customs are carefully stor?
ed at the _:reat museum. I hope all
the readers of this letter will come
to see this museum; then they will
see why I do not write more fuPy
and give a better idea of things.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS.
Suniter Citizens Testify for the Pub?
lic Be net it.
A truthful statement Of a Sumter
citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills If you suffer from backache*
nervousness. sleeplessness urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
the cure is at hand. Read this:
E. W. Vogel. B. Main St., Sumter,
S. C.i says: "I had severe pains in
the small of my back for several
years and whenever I attempted to
stoop, my suffering was intensified
My back became very weak and on
several occasions I was forced to give
up my work. My family pftysician
treated me without giving me any re?
lief from the awful pains in my back
and I then tried every known remedy
on the market but still failed to be
benefited. I at last read a testimo?
nial regarding Doan's Kidney Pill?
and was so much impressed that I
procured a box of this remedy at
China's drug store. After taking the
contents I was restored to good
health and for that reason heartily
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills."
