HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN,.ATLANTA, GA„ SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 1913.
Vatican Physicians Encouraged,
but Believe Convalescence of
Pontiff Will Be Slow.
By CAMILLO CIANFARRA,
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, April 19.—The Papal physi
cians have announced that no bulle
tin concerning the Pope's health will
be announced to-night unless an un
foreseen complications or relapse sets
in. That the Pontiff has spent four
feverless days Is considered as en
couraging Another favorable omen
was the departure from the Vatican
of Anna Sarto, the Pope’s sister, who
has remained almost constantly at
his bedside during the recent relapse.
Still Troubled With Cough.
It is said that the presence of this
sister was required, as she was the
only one whom the Pope would obey.
He strongly resented even the direct
advices of the physicians.
To-night an unofficial report slates
that His Holiness is much Improved
over his condition of yesterday, but
la still troubled by coughing spells,
which greatly exhaust him. The physi
cians are now striving to overcome
the persistent weakness which pre
vents the Pope from lifting his arms
or scarcely turning his head. This
physical weakness Is In strong con
trast to his mental vigor which the
Pontiff has maintained throughout his
illness.
Slow Convalescence Expected.
The physicians attending the Pope
apparently anticipate a slow conva
lescence as the Pontifical mass, which
was scheduled to take place in St.
Peters Cathedral on May 11 In con
nection with the celebration of the
Constantine jubilee, has been Indefi
nitely postponed.
The presence of Angelo Sarto, the
Pope's brother, at the Vatican, was
officially announced for the first time
to-day.
Thousands of pilgrims are still in
Rome, while many more are expected
the coming week.

forts in opposition to the Evanston

Festive Straw Lid Again Reigns
Let the Cook’s Husband Sport That Swell Eng
lish Check Affair and Join Summer Throng.
Sic transit gloria derby.
Wtiich means that the straw hat has come hack into its own in
Atlanta. The very newest offerings were displayed by male At
lanta in the downtown promenade yesterday afternoon—chaste
designs that dig deep into the week’s salary cheek, as well as
straws about, which hovered the ghost of the newly departed label:
“Classy gents hats, $1.’’
Tra la, summer is here. Oorinne’s going a-Maying, and her
beau is straw-hatted.
A delicate thing is a staw hat, like a Georgia peach—orchard
variety—or a strawberry patch. Atlanta found that out last week,
when a few premature specimens of summer headgear turned wan
and all but died under the chilling blast of a cold spell that over
slept itself.
Frantic, frenzied and numerous were the bulletins from experts
who told that, the peach crop was threatened. They paid no at
tention to the poor crop of straw hats that absolutely died. But a
kindly sun revived them, generated more of them, and sent the
heavy felts and derbies and the wierd English things with the
misplaced hows back to the elosets and the moth halls and to the
cook’s husband.
Just to see where we are at, let’s take stock of things. The
league is open, bock beer signs have sprouted over night, fresh
vegetables are with us and consequent funny pains inside, and now
the straw hat.
Yes, Mrs. Atlanta, you ean clean out the parlor grate and
lamp-black the iron. Your daughter’s young man won’t, figure as
an item of expense on the coal bill any more.
Smoking in Theater Nature Erects Mark
Favored by Pinero Above Hoosier Grave
Famous Dramatist Ascribes Decreas
ing London Audiences to Pro
hibition of Weed.
Tree Sprouting From Primitive Cof
fin Shows Last Resting Place of
Brown County Pioneer.
LONDON, April 19.—Sir Arthur W.
Pinero, In discussing the slump In the
attendance at the theaters hery as
cribes It to the serious opposition of
the vaudeville shows, the moving pic
tures and the failure of theater man
agers to meet their competition by
getting up with the times, especially
with regard to smuklng.
"Smoking should certainly be al
lowed in theaters," says Sir Arthur.
“Of course the proposal will be re
ceived by many with a cry of horror.
We shall hear a lot about the degra
dation of the stage and the drama,
but where does the degradation come
in? If I sit opposite a beautiful pic
ture of Raphael with a pipe in my
mouth I am not degrading the pic
ture. Mr. Barrie's charming play
lets lose none of their quality by
being performed to smoking audi
ences at variety theaters.
“If the piece is interesting the ci
gars will go out during the play and
will only be lighted at Intervals.”
COLUMBUS, IND., April 19.—It Is
seldom, perhaps, that nature erects a
monument to a person’s memory, yet
In a small country cemetery a few
miles east of Nashville, Brown Coun
ty, may be found an object bearing
that distinction.
More than 76 years ago a man
named Allcorn met with an accident
which resulted in his death, and he
was burled In the cemetery near his
home.
The coffin was hewn out of part of
a poplar tree and made into two sec
tions. A few years later a small
sprout began to shoot from the crude'
coffin, and not long afterward a small
poplar tree began to spread Its
branches over the grave.
Within a few years It had grown
to large proportions, and during the
long period since it first appeared
above the ground the tiny poplar
sprout has grown Into a tree that
measures several feet in circumfer
ence and towers above all others in
the vicinity.
