Geo 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 ••••••••••••••••••••so* 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.

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 !

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.” TO STUDY FIRE FIGHTING.

Six firemen were injured by explo sions in the burning house while they w ere fighting the flames. The damage is estimated at $20,000.
