6 D 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.

Doff That Derby; Summer's Here + •+ +•+ -S-a-I* +•+ *a-i- 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.
