THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
Stricken Pontiff a Difficult Patient
and Recovery in His Own Hands,
Say Vatican Physicians.
BULLETIN.
ROME, April 15.—Vatican phy-
t clans admitted for the first time
this afternoon that the lungs of
Pope Pius X have become affect
ed.
The following bulletin was is
sued from the Vatican at 3:30
o'clock:
'His Holiness is suffering from
bronchi-pneumonia. However,
only his left lung is affected.”
This bulletin gave rise to the
most pessimistic forebodings in
ROME, April 15.—Pope Pius X
has apparently passed successfully
through another relapse, although it
will be several days before it can be
aald that danger no longer exists.
Drs. Marehiafava and Amici issued
a reassuring bulletin early to-day,
aaylng the Pontiff’s fever had falltn
to 98.1 and that there had been gen
eral improvement. The danger from
pneumonia was believed to be over,
and there was a lessening of the bron
chial symptoms.
While this optimistic bulletin caused
great rejoicing In the Vatican and
throughout the Roman Catholic world,
it was pointed out, however, that the
weakened condition of the Pontiff
made him susceptible to slight
changes and a setback might result
despite the strenuous exertions of the
doctors.
Doctors' Bulletin Favorable.
The 1:30 bulletin 7:30 a. m. At
lanta time), signed by Drs. Marchia-
fava and Amici, follows:
The illness of the Pope is now
taking its formal course." The
patient was much better during
the forenoon after his night’s rest.
He had had a slight setback late
yesterday afternoon when his
temperature rose slightly.
If it is possible to induce Pope
Pius to follow the orders of his
medical advisers, the ameliora
tion in his condition will bring
w ith it a revival of strength.
In other words, the recovery of
the Pope is chiefly in his own
hands.
The Pope is a most difficult pa
tient to deal with. While appar
ently giving in to the recommen
dations of his physicians, the mo
ment he feels slightly better he
Insists on having his own way,
saying ”1 command here.’’
The Pope's condition appeared
tn be practically unchanged to
day. The morning bulletin is
sued by the papal physician. Prof.
Ettore Machiafava and Dr. An
drea Amici, was as follows:
The Holy Father was again
without fever this morning. His
temperature is 97. The cough has
diminished and expectoration has
become easy and copious. The
Pontiff’s general condition has
always been satisfactorily.
MARCH IA FA VA.
AMICI.
One of Kidneys Useless.
Dr. Marehiafava admitted That sev
eral days must elapse before the cri
sis shall have elapsed, and that "any
thing might happen in the mean
while.”
While the Pope has made satisfac
tory progress in one direction, lie
seems to have failed in another. One
of his kidneys has become so affected
that it is useless. He is steadily los
ing weight from his illness and has
become so emaciated that friends find

Tomb Presages
Pope Pius' Death
ROME, April 15.—On the oc
casion of pontifical mass in the
Church of San Giovanni in La-
terano (St. John Lateran) yes
terday it was noticed that the
marble slab on the tomb of
Pope Sylvester II was damp, as
if moistened by dew.
The same phenomenon is said
to have occurred- just prior to
the death of Leo XIII. It is as
serted that for ten centuries it
has constituted an infallible pre-
motion of the death of a Pope.
Until yesterday the slab was
quite dry» now it is “sweating,”
as the Romans say’.
Many are convinced that the
recurrence of the phenomenon
portends the death of Pope
Pius X.
••••••••••••••••••••■»••
difficulty in recognizing him. This
■statement has just been given out by
a prelate attached to the Vatican
menage,. In normal health the Pontiff
has a portly figure, but has been
wasted away by the Intermittent high
fever of the past week.
Physician Watches All Night.
Dr. Amici remained in an ante
room adjoining that of the sick room
ail riignt.
The Pope secured a fairly good
night’s rest, although his sleep was
broken at times by fits of coughing.
The weather is still unusually cold, a
factor w-hieh is militating against the
Pope’s recovery. The Pontiff objects
to artificial heat and complained’be
cause it was used in his chamber.
The Pontiff is showing unexpected
strength. In spite of his infirmities
and the small amount of nourishment
he has taken, his strength is still as
usual.
The Pontiff is said not to be show
ing the same keenness of mind which
marked the earlier days of his illness,
However, his mind moves quickly,
considering his condition.
Some of the cardinals of the Curia
answered the request of the doctor
and sent petitions to His Holiness
asking him to obey his doctors so that
his recovery would not be retarded.
Vision of Pontiff’s Sister.
Great interest was expressed to-day
in the vision which the fontiff had
yesterday. He has always been a
man of intense imagination and a
dreamer. The Pope seemed, he said,
to be back in his beloved Venice; he
was in his patriarchal gonodola upon
the Grand Canal.
Everything was blazing with sun
light, when suddenly above the spire
of St. Mark’s Cathedral the sky
opened and he saw a vision of his
dead sister, Rosa Sarto. She de
scended to his side, took his hand and
spoke, saying:
"The moment has not yet come for
you to join me. Your work is not yet
finished.”
From the moment the Pontiff awoke
he seemed brighter nd there is little
doubt in the minds of many that the
vision worked a decided change for
the better.
Handbags for Men Is
Chicago's Latest Fad
Conceited Boulevardiers Are About
to Displace the Wrist Watch
Styles.
('HIGAGO, April 15—Handbags far

boulevardiers. The new fad is said to
be about to displace the wrist watch,
which found great favor here.
The innovation had its rise in die

The bags contain the handkerchiefs,

SAX FRANCISCO, April 15.—Who

The Queen of the Portola has been

months office secretary of the Young
Women’s Christian Association, will

Miss Keller Predicts
Downfall of Wilson
Party Will Split on Tariff and Trusts
Will Overpower President,
Says Blind Girl.
WASHINGTON, April 15.—“Presi
dent Wilson i9 going to make the
greatest fight of his life, but he will
ultimately be beaten.’’
This was the prediction to-day of
Helen Keller, the famous blind girl,
with regard to President Wilson’3
administration. Miss Keller said:
“President Wilson is, to my mind, a
great man and a sincere man. He is
going to do everything in his power
to remedy present conditions, but his
party will not stand back of him.
Members of it are already falling out
on the tariff question, and soon he
will be very much alone. The trusts
are too powerful for one man to cope
with, and President Wilson will ulti
mately be beaten.”

EVANSTON, ILL.., April 15.—Mrs.
A. E. Eggert, a society leader of Wil

can overdo the stage kiss, according
to her belief.
All this season she has had two
seats reserved in the fourth row of
the Evanston Theater. To-day she
had her reservation changed to the.
last row in the balcony because “that
Miss Robinson kisses the hero just as
though she likes it, and it gives the
c u lience too much of a thrill.”
• I don't want my daughter to see
such acting again,” she told the box

Too Many Would-be Opera Stars SUFFRAGETTES
*»•••!•
Hundreds Offer to Support Artists
Two Hundred Atlantans Will Be
Selected to Play Minor Roles
in Concerts at Auditorium.
Two hundred Atlantans, more or
less, will be going around and about
next^w-eek telling their friends confi
dentially:
“I’m going to act in grand opera.
The manager has engaged me and I’ve
got a swell costume. Keep your eyes
open to-night.”
And next day your operatic friend
will dodge you. But when you catch
him he will explain:
“Who. me? Why, I was the tall
guy in the leather bath robe and the
red plume in the southeast corner of
the second act. Didn’t you see me?
“Some” Singers Won’t Do.
The advance manager of the opera
company soon will be ready to drill
the recruits recently advertised for
and instructed to answer by general
delivery. Inquiries kt the postofflee
show that enough would-be opera
stars are in Atlanta to build a regi
ment or fill a suffrage parade. Some
of the wiser ones sought advice from
a veteran opera singer before facing
the Metropolitan manager.
“Got a good voice? Like to sing?
Always ready to join the chorus when
the soubrette invites you?” asked the
veteran.
“Sure,” said one applicant. “My
friends say I’ve got a cracker-jack
tenor, and I know all the principal
tunes in “liraviata.’ ’’
“Then you won’t do,” said the vet
eran. “An opera supe shouid be deaf
and dumb, or they’ll have to put a
gag on him. They’ll stand for his
getting in the way of the baritone and
pushing over the scenery, but there’s
one cardinal commandment for a supe.
and that’s 'Keep your mouth shut.’
“Chewing gurri, unless it is done
with a careful and accura-te regard to
the tempo then being delivered by ! Ilf
ord" tra, should also be discouraged.
Faces and Costumes.
“If there is any make-up to adorn
your countenance, let the profession
als fix it. A bit of extravagance with
red grease paint will make your face
look like a summer sunset on a pic
ture postcard and cause jealousy
among the overshadowed principals
which might seriously interfere with
your future in grand opera.
“That will be about all for the first
lesson. You'll get the next on the
flrst night you go on. and that will
be a-plenty. And the first, second and
nineteenth thing to remember is: ‘Do
exactly what you’re told to do. and
nothing else.’ If you have any ideas
you think would improve the open,
write them on a postcard and mail
them to Gatti-Casazza.”

is estimated at $20,000.
The residence was unoccupied at
the time, otherwise loss of life un-

the women had /ernked the lower part
of the house with oil and grease and
piled great quantities of gunpow der in
that part of the structure.
Near the ruins a hatchet was found
with ribbons of suffragette colors tied
to the handle. A lot of literature and
cards were found close by. One of
the cards bore the inscription, “We

Upon another was printed, “Do you

These cards, together w ith the other
articles found, were turned over to

Southern Publisher, Calls It a
Magnificent Paper.
Editor Sunday American:
While In Chattanooga on last Sun
day r purchased a copy of your Sun

from a new s standpoint, as w’ell as
from a critical review of the publica
tion, being an old newspaper man and
having for many years owned and
published The Chattanooga New s, Tlie
Memphis Morning News, The Knox
ville Evening Sentinel and The Knox
ville Morning Tribune.
I want to take this opportunity of
congratulating you on this edition. It
was oil'*- of the most magnificent
newspapers from every standpoint
ever published in this country. As a
newspaper It would rank with the best
in the land; as an advertisement for
Atlanta it would be hard to estimate
its wonderful value, and in dollars
and cents it would run up into thou
sands. Being largely Interested in At

tel Ansley, I am interested In the suc
cess of the city, and I am free to say
that Ihe Hearst newspapers are in a
posUion to contribute more to the up

in America.

We were anxious to see The Sun

our expectations as to an up-to-date,

The article by Colonel Graves and
the advertisement Mr. Hearst gave
Atlanta through his other newspa

of dollars of investments to Atlanta
