A delightful surprise party was
given to Mrs. C. It. Acker, of Fulrvlcw
nvenue, on Tuesday last, It being tho
anniversary of Mrs. Acker's birth. Tho
surprise was successfully planned by
Mr. Acker, who called some of his
friends nnd relative1? to his assist
ance. When Mr. and Mrs. Acker re
turned from a drive around Lake
Scranton, they found their home In
possession of many friends and a capi

Fellows, the god parents being Mr.

Two fond fathers were mildly re
monstrating with two young sons for
their boyish tricks In a Scranton
home the other evening. One had un
fortunately been present on a former
occasion when his father had related
some of his own pranks as a young
ster. Hence, after the lecture, gravely
delivered, the boy remarked with a
sigh: "Yes, papa was always good
when he was a boy. "Why his halo
wore his hair thin. You can see for
yourself," and somehow the gravity
of the session was upset.

ON HIS TRAVELS
(Concluded from Page !l.1
and people. At tho door of the Vati
can Palace we meet the Kwlss guards
In their gay uniforms designed by
Michael Angelo. Now we nscend the
royal steps and pass through tho cor
ridors to the apartments reserved for
the residence of the Pope. Formerly
the Church of Home kept her sacied
writings, books, etc., secret, but Pope
Plus IX said everything should bo
open to the world. Now hundreds of
students from all lands visit tho vntl
can nnd study the great works ot the
world since the fourth century.. We
nlso visited the Slstlne chapel where
cardinals and bishops receive the
pallium. Here nbovo the high altar Is
Angelo's great painting of "The Last
Judgment" and many other works of
nrt. No pen can adequately describe
the wonderful treasures ot nrt nnd
sculpture In this wonderful building.
Forty rooms nro devoted to the
museum. Fourteen hnls "are devoted to
the Koman sculpture. Acres ot space
are covered with the celebrated paint
ings of the masters.
THE PANTHEON.
Leaving the Vatican wo visit the
Pantheon where ltaphael and Victor
Emmanuel nre burled and where the
body of King Humbert soon will rest,
the sepuleher of Italy's kings. Now for
a drive around the hills of Rome, and
a visit to the beautiful church of "St.
Paul's without the Walls" and Santa
Maria Magglorc where It Is said a
piece of Bethlehem's manger Is kept
ns a sacred relic. Here are statues
made from some of the first gold which
Columbus brought from America to
Ferdinand and Isabella, Wo drive to
tho King's Palace on the Qulrlnal, now
shrouded In gloom, past the old tower
from which Nero watched the burning
of Homo and on to the old colosseum,
one of the grandest ruins of the world.
No greater revelry was ever known
since Babylon fell than was held
within this mighty structure. No
sadder scenes wero ever witnessed
since the tragedy of Calvary than tho
persecutions of the Christians here.
We tread the spot hallowed by the
blood of martyrs and roam these
crumbling walls with mingled rever
ence and awe. Now wo go to the Ro
man Forum, and amidst the ruins of
palaces and temples live in scenes and
days lost in the passing centuries, but
which makes both names and deeds
Immortal. Now we visit the Mamer
tlne prison whero It Is said that Paul
was kept a prisoner, and where
chained to his Roman guards he
preached to them tho Christ. A de
lightful ride takes us past the Pala
tine hill, where Nero, Caligula, Domlt
lan and tho Caesars lived, and now
we move nlong the Applan way over
which Paul entered Rome. The old
wall and towers still are standing
through which this man of God passed
in to give the gospel to the world.
We pass the chapel of Quo Vadls,
whero tradition says St. Peter, fleeing
from a martyr's death, met his Lord
bearing the cross, who disappearing
left his footprints In the rock. Enter
ing the Church of St. Sebastian we
find many sacred relics, including the
stono footprints of our Lord. The
monks place a burning taper in our
hands and lead us through the cata
combs, whero many Christians found
a shelter and a tomb during the days
of the persecutions, and where tradi
tion says the bodies of Peter and Paul
were temporarily burled. Now we
take a long drive along the Applan
way, passing the mausoleums of many
Illustrious dead. By the new Applan
way we reach the Church of St. John
Laterau, known as the Cathedral of
Rome. The popes used to be crowned
In this church. A piece of wood which
formed a part of the table on which
Christ ate the Last Supper with His
disciples Is kept as a sacred relic.
Pope Leo XIII. has selected this
church as his burial place.
MULTIFARIOUS ATTRACTIONS.
But I weary you In hurried descrip
tions of temples and tombs, of palaces
and places in this wonderful city. Here
wo could tarry many weeks and llvo
in scenes which have been familiar
since our early days at school. Step
across the piazza of St. John Laterau
and you seo the smaller temple of the
Scala Santa or Church of the Holy
Steps. Here are tho steps which led
to 'the palace of Pontius Pilate In
Jerusalem, and up which Jesus passed
after his scourging. The stairs were
brought from Jerusalem by the mother
of Constantino the Great. Wo see
many devout Catholics ascending these
steps, marked with tho blood of the
Savior, on their knees, repeating pray
ers, and from this humble penitential
service they recelvo nine years' in
dulgence for each step. Martin Luther
went half-way up these steps upon his
knees, when there Hashed upon his
soul the Scripture truth, "Salvation Is
by faith" and not by penance. He
then arose to kindle anew the fires of
the Reformation and lead the way for
the evangelization of the world.
IN PARIS.
Paris, France, Aug. 25. I am not
sure that this will reach you before
our arrival in New York, but I send
it nlong, hoping somo of tho notes
may be of Interest. A rlda of 154
miles from Rome, about which I wrote
you last, Brought us to our next stop
as per Itinerary, Naples. Here all Is
so strange to an American. It Is tho
nosiest city I ever struck, and ono
of the dirtiest. Wr can't say too
much of tho beautiful bay, but the
beggars nearly drove us frantic. Be
fore alighting from our carriage at
the hotel, two slstcis of charity thrust
their plump hands through the win
dow, asking for money. Beggars fol
lowed us nn the street: tan utter us
when we diove; did all borts of things
to awaken sympathy and secure
money. Fakirs of all kinds abound.
Theio are somo beautiful parks, (but
generally very narrow, dark streets.
Marketing Is done from multitudes of
homes by letting baskets down with
a rope from windows above to venders
below. Puie milk regulations nro
strictly carried out. Cows uro goats
are driven to tho homes and milked
nt the doors. It Is rather novel to
see a dozen goats at the entrance to
a house and the milk pitcher dangllntr
at the end of a rope on Its way to tho
"milk depot." The shouting of driv
ers, tho cracking of whips and over
loading of the small horses and don
keys Is distressing. On Sunday many
of our party attended an impressive
service at the Scotch Presbyterian
church. Paul landed near hero when
he was on his way to Rome. Naples
has much ot activity among her thous
and of overcrowded population. Many
Important events In the world's his

Senor Quesada, Secretary ot the Cuban Legation In Washington, Is an

said: "I have seen many audiences under the spell of eloquent speech nnd
In tho grip of strong emotional excitement; but I have rarely witnessed such
a scone as at tho close of Quesada's eulogy upon tho dead patriot, Marti."
In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, written from Washington, D.
C, Senor Quesada says:
''Peruna I can recommend as a very good medicine. It
is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it is also an effi
cacious cure for the almost universal complaint of ca
tarrh." Gonzalo De Quesada.
Peruna does not operate upon tho
system, as the usual remedy does. It
Is not a local treatment. It operates
as a systemic remedy. It gives tone

thus gives tone to tho mucous mem

the body.

lery of Umbertol; the church of St.
Francis de Paul, said to be one of the
largest In Europe. Here also Is to be
seen the San Cnrlo theater, which Is
the pride of Naples. Some of our par
ty take the steamer to Capri to visit
the beautiful Blue Grotto.
We take a special trip to Pompeii,
and stroll the silent streets, visit the
silent Halls of Justice, the Forum and
Basilica, tread with mingled awe and
wonder Its Temples of Venus and
Mercury, Augustus, Jupiter, Fortune
and other mystic and mythological
shrines of worship. I gathered many
Interesting fucts and secured several
photographs which may Interest us
later. Crumbling temples and ruined
palaces, and stepping stones in well
paved Istroets worn with years of;
traffic and which resounded with the
dash of chariot wheels, these do not
tell the story of the city's slumber for
eighteen centuries. But out of the
dim, distant past I can see the hand
of God In the destruction of that
Sodom cf tho early Christian era. In
the evidences of sin, chiseled In stone,
and the corruptions of the times and
licentiousness of life displayed In
Pomplan art, we see what must have
been, and In the silent street and
broken columns, read God's object les
son. Sinning cities as well as souls
are doomed to perish.
MOUNT VESUVIUS.
Our next point of interest was Mount
Vesuvius. Wo have seen mountain
peaks more lofty and climbed more
rugged heights, but where can one be
found with more Increasing Interest
or more tragic history than Vesuvius.
An hour's ride from Pompeii in car
ascent engrossed your attention. Our
foot of the mountain. Here we were
mounted on saddle horses, and sur
rounded by a confused mob of beg
gars, thieves and shouting, persistent,
dragomen. One would tiy to pull your
horse along, and another would en
courage the horse by hanging on to
his tall nnd pounding him with a rod.
Tho start was bewildering, but the
rlages brought us to the village at tho
experiences were novel, if not always
pleasing. Some of our horses wero
good, but most of them good-for-nothing:
tho riders had to work their
passage ns well as pay for tho trip.
Fortunately, I rode a mountain climber
nnd had no dlfllculty except to fight
the dragomen to keep the away. My
dear friend, Mr. Stelle, strode his
charger like a general, his graceful
figure, with tho sky as a background,
was a picture: his appearunce was
commanding nnd his horse wns the
proudest of them all. But alas! every
horse does not pull that promises.
The exalted spirit of his beast soon
departed like the mist .before the
sun.
The encouraging prods of the drago
man, which fell like a policeman's
club on a dry goods box, failed to de
elop speed. Mr. Stelle coaxed a long
time, until patience ceased to be a
virtue, and ho applied the rod to sup
plement his grace. But soon the iod
was reduced to splinters, when as a
last resort the umbrella had to do the
honors. Imagine ono so sedate as he
riding up that classic volcano In such
a fashion, and the umbrella going like
perpetual motion. But seo him coming
In at the half-way house in triumph,
his grace and grit and umbrella having
conqueied. We rest a fow minutes,
then continue the ascent along the zig
zag walled pathway to within 1,000 feet
of the top. Our horses are left to re
turn to the half-way cassa at will, and
we begin the climb, by the help of
guides, mountain sticks, etc. Up wo
go above the clouds, until we reach
the mouth of tho upper crater.
Tho smoke, vapor, sulphur, elc, at
times are stifling, but the winds
change, the smoke blows another way,
the clouds are beneath us, but the sun
Greatest Remedy of The Age
f mucous membrane. Catarrh Is a flab
by condition of the blood vessels of
those membranes. Peruna gives tone
to these vessels and restores them to
their natural elasticity.
Thus It Is that Peruna strikes at tho
root of the evil. Peruna removes the
cause of catarrh and the symptoms
disappear. It Is useless to doctor symp-
shines at tho suiynit and wo get a
fair view of the y nlng crater below.
What an awful sight, and yet what
an inspiration. Soon the clouds below,
half-way down the mountain side, roll
away and a scene of surpassing love
liness opens to our view. At our feet
lies Pompeii, awakened from Its long
slumber of centuries by modern sci
ence; Naples, the bay spreading out
beyond Capre, expanding into the
beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Pen can
never portray a picture like this. The
descent from the summit to the half
way house was most novel. Following
tho mountain trail of the culdes, we
used a path formed by the very fine
lava, which yielded to our feet like
sand. See us then In undignified de
scent. Jumping, leaping, falling down
the steep declivity, as Jolly as tho Im
perial Chatauqua Circle on a Nay Aug
picnic. Now mounting our horses, we
complete the descent in a becoming
manner. Then a drive back to Pom
pell and train back to Naples closes a
day never to be forgotten.
FLOREy"-,3.
Retracing our stty we leave South
ern Italy without any regrets. My
tour through Itu. has taught me
many lessons. I shall sympathize more
than ever with the Italians who have
sought to better their condition by
seeking a home In America. I shall
have more sympathy for all foreigners
In America. Our next st p was Flor
ence, the homo of Italian art. Here
names and scenes come before us
which nro forever linked with Scrip
ture, painting, architecture, science
and literature. We visit the Piazza
Veechlo nnd Tower, where Savanarola
wns Imprisoned and burned to death
for his loyalty to country and hfs con
victions of truth. The city Is divided
Into two unequal parts by the river
Aruo, which Is spanned by many
bridges, the most historic being the
old Ponto Veechlo, which has a suc
cession of stores built on either side,
forming a great business center for
Jewelers and goldsmiths,
A visit to the Ulllzl Gallery and Na
tional Gallery gives a panorama of the
world of art. Acres of space literally
covered with many of the finest paint
ings to be found. But little of art Is
found In the streets of Florence, com
pared with other Italian cities. There
are some beautiful drives about the
city, but the impression formed by the
solidly constructed palaces and other
buildings and the great plainness and
"severity of style" is very disappoint
ing. Tho beautiful Boboll gardens nro
here. We drive to the homes of
Michael Angelo, Dante, Raphael, Eliza
beth Barrett Browning and Amerigo
Vespucci. In tho Church of San Mln
lato Croel wo seo tho tomb of Angelo
and Galileo and monuments to many
other Illustrious dead. From the old
fort the cannons thunder onco again
tho king's salute of one hundred guns,
for today the mortal remains nf Hum
bert 1. are deposited In tho Pantheon
Ht Rome by the side of his Illustrious
father, Victor Iminanuel.
THEN VENICE.
Next we go to Venice, but much of
our anticipated enjoyment of this
strange and once beautiful city, "Bride
of the Adriatic." Is marred by the an
nouncement that our tourists agents,
Crawford and Floyd, have failed: that
our funds have been exhausted, nnd
for the balance of our Journey to Cher
bout g, France fthe point of sailing for
New York), we must put up the cash
again, nnd "hustle for ourselves." Two
hundred und sixty-nve people, over 5,
000 miles from home, In a strange land
and short of money, are not happy
over the prospect. As all our expenses
had been fully met for the 'tour before
leaving home, many of the party had
only a bit of souvenir money left. A
wise committee was appointed, with
Mr. Stelle as secretary. Plans were
formulated to hold tho party together
and complete the tour as arranged, and
adjust the claims with Crawford &
toms. Symptoms disappear, once tho
cause Is removed. Peruna removes the
cause, it Is the only systemic catarrh
remedy yet devised.
Mr. Howard Harry Marshall, 4f,!
Main street, Tuckertown, N. J., wrltest
"I have been troubled with catarrh
for eleven years. All remedies nnd
doctors failed to cure. I heard of Pe
runa through n friend and bought a
bottle. In less than four months I was
a well man, nnd now weigh more than
I ever did In my life."
His wife writes- "I want to give my
experience with Peruna. It Is the only
medicine that American people should
buy If they want to bo cured of ca
tarih. I hnve had catarrh for twenty
years, and It had extended through
out my entlro system. I spent hun
dreds of dollars trying to get relief; I
did not expect to be cured.
"As I was seeing so much In thn
papers about Peruna, I thought I
would try It, but had no faith In It. I
bought a bottle, but did not see much
change In my condition, but thought I
would take another bottle. Then I saw
a big change, I kept on taking It
until I was -entirely cured, and have
remained so for six months. People
don't know a sure cure for catarrh
when they seo It. My advice to all
persons suffering from catarrh Is, take
Peruna regularly and persistently and
the catarrh will leave.
"I will do all I can to get your
medicine Into the homes of tho
American people, bb It Is the only
sure cure for catarrh In any form
or any part of the human body."
Mrs. Hannah Marshall.
Miss Martha Wlttkopp writes from
Greenville. Mich., the following. "When
I began your treatment I had catarrh
of tho head, nose,
throat, stomach,
nnd pelvle organs,
I was troubled with
hnwklng and spit
ting, caught cold
very easily, had
almost constant
headache. My stom
nch was all out
of order, I did not
sleep well. nnd
was more tired In
the morning than
Maitha Wlttkopp.
when I retired. 1
had backache and
was very nervous, In fact, the catarrh
had permeated my entire system, and
I almost despaired of getting well.
"I wrote you for advice and you ad
vised Peruna. I began to gain "right
along, nnd am now well. My parents
praise Peruna very much. As for my
self, I can't speak well enough of It.
I nm well and happy and enjoy my
life as I never have before. I cannot
remember when I have felt as well as
I do now."

Floyd In America, Several cabled homo
for money. Others received tempor
ary loans from kind friends, and after
many tribulations the tour was re
sumed. Our return passage on tha
steamer was not affected by the fail
ure. The burning of the Saalo and tha
Main at the Hoboken ferry seems to
bo the prime cause of tho embarrass
ment of the tourists' agency. They
had chartered and paid for these
steamers. As they were burned on tho
eve of sailing, Crawford & Floyd had
to secure and pay for the passage oj
most of their parties on other steam
ers, and the North German Lloyd com
pany, it Is said, would not refund tho
money paid by Crawford until tho ad
justment of the Insurance companies
was completed. This handicapped tho
agency, and It Is estimated that over
1,000 tourists shared our misfortunes
on the continent. At the meeting in
Hotel Luna to consider future plans,
we were favored with the presence of:
the American consul at Venice, Mr.
Johnson, of Washington, D. C. He re
ceived an ovation. The waving of tho
Stars nnd Stripes and singing ot
"America" made us forget we were so
far from home. On arriving at tho
depot, Instead of taking omnibuses
(for there are no horses In Venice),
we enter gondolas and ride along tho
grand canjl to the hotel.
THE HEART OF VENICE.
A stroll along the very narrow
streets ciosslng the many RIo's or
water streets by numberless bridges,
viewing the active every-day life of
the Venltlans, we pass on to the great
Piazza San Mnrco, tho heai t of Venice.
Hero are the Piocuratle with Its front
facade of thirty-two aiches, now used
as the Royal Palace: also tho cele
brated clock tower, whose dial marks
the hours from one to twenty-four:
the Campanile, the great tower o
Venice. IIeri at all hours from sun
rise to sunset the pigeons, which are
the proteges of Venice, ure to be seen
by the hundreds. It Is one of the fads
to feed the beautiful birds which will
flock around you, alight on your shoul
ders, or feed from your hanJ. It Is :t
criminal offence to kill ono of thesa
city pets. Now we visit the wonder
ful Cathedral of St. Mark, with its
many towers, dome and mlnerets, and
beautiful facade adorned with many
rich mosaics. We pass the great old
Palace of the Doges and the Column
ot St. Georne und St. Mark, sur
mounted by the winged lion, and stroll
along tho quay of the Grand Canal,
viewing In ono dlicctlon the Bridge ot
Sighs, connecting tho Palace of tha
Doges with the Prison of Venice, nnd
in tho other direction viewing tho
Hlalto hildge leading to the Rialto
mentioned by Shakespeare In tha
"Mei chant of Venice." A moonlight
rldo In the gondola Is most charming.
The city with Its myriad lights, thc
richly decorated gondolas moving lit
Mil directions, music floating nut over
tho water, the songs of the gondoliers,
as they dexteiiously ply tho oar. Is an
Inspiration. All of Venice Is not in
charming. Its deserted and crumbling
palaces tell of a ga, sad past. Venice
still lives for the parsing hour unmind
ful of her depaited glory, and that her
historic past will come again no more.
Our days here have been filled with
lntet est, for wo have lived not alone
upon what we have seen, but upon tho
writings of others, who have filled
many of these palaces and scenes with
tragedy and romance. It is a privi
lege to visit Venice, whoso history U
s.0 full of Interest and whose llfo Is m
novel. Faithfully yours,
Robert F. Y. Pierce.
