Liustums, picture and sculpture gal
leries, we directed our steps toward
the ancient part of the city.
wi re auxloiiB to see the Roman For
um, the ColiBi-um, and the Manur
tlne prisons where St. Peter and St.
I'aul are Bald to have been Incare' i
sumI. We made our way toward
Piazza Venezia, the heart of ancient
Home. The monument of Victoi
Emmanuel first drew our attention.
It Is one of the most magnificent art
structures of modern times, coming
to the people of Italy over one hund
red anil fifty millions of llras. This
monument overshadows ami divides
the anrlent and modern Home. On
the right of the monument there is
a Htalrway leading to the C'apitoline
Hill, whro yet stands the Senate
Mouse of old Impel ial Home, from
which place the destiny of the once
known world was directed. It Is now
called the Caliipaglln (or the place
of Barrow . It Is so called because
the record is kept on marble slabs
of those who died heroiealy In de
fense, of their country's cause. The
Italian Senate still meets ill this
building, castle or palace, as you
may call it. It was hire that the
poor, deluded Hlciul. the last of the
Tribunes, hail hlms' lf declared ' dic
tator." Later, when be levied taxes
to meet the expenses or the munici
pal fovenimenl he was stabbed to
death and i! rugged through the
streets of Koine ami finally burned
to ashes.

mono 63. North Jackson St.
wai killed by her ttmstori. Tbl6
place to this day is still called tne
Tu'l'vian hock, and U is here that
poi.'.ical traitors and other criminals
w,;re hurled from the rock, among
them the same Maul ma who, wall the
aid of the gene, bad saved the capi
tal. Under the hill a little to the
north of the Septimus Severus inas
s.'.e arch, lb the .Mamertine prison.
ani.ru St. I'eter anil St. Paul were In
carcerated, from that place history
relates that St. I'eter bore his cross
toward the Janicular Hill, and so
heavy was It that finally, reaching
where the Cathedral of Kt. I'eter now
stands, then the site of Nero's circus,
! tind his guards he could walk no
further, so that they crucified him
then and there. There Is a little
church built over the prison whlcn
Is called St. I'eter Incarcerated. The
little fountain from which I'eter took
the water to baptize his Jailor la still
there and Is In the center of the rocky
floor. There are now steps leading
to tne cell and electric lights Illumi
nate the passage, yet It Is gloomy
uioiigh to make you shiver.
The lioman l-uruai is a few steps
from the .Vamertiiie prisons, and an
you look upou the great ruins you
kt-k yourself, cr.li this be the Koitiiu
that I read about; can this he the
i put where, all Home was used to
gather, where oralors haiungued the
multitudes, where gladiatorial games
were held and where Koinans voted
their laws? From the ruins now
leveled with the ground stood enor
.,1 ..is buildings. It is here that a
few years ago was discovered under
the i ii ink Hie tomb of Romulus, aim
Is attracting to it every visitor that
cornea to Home. Also the rostrum
f-.jm wilch .Mark Anthony delivered
the famous funeral oration over
great Caesar's body, and from the
. .., j.! i' I'urm Ciceio spoke against
Anthony, which speeches were the
cause of bis assassination. Here al
so I'llny, he who so graphically de
scribed for us the destruction of
I'ompeil and Hcreulnneum, as well
an yulntiliun and many other law
i yers. made their fame .and fortune
on this platform.
I Fipm the Human Forum then you
go Ti the I'alatine Hill to see the
f X. tees of the Caesars. When we
I look upon It from the Forum, we are
a little Inclined to expect much splen
dor surviving, and once we climb up
we behold a mass of rulna covered
with grass and wild flowers and
guarded by melancholy cypresses,
those emblems of Immortality. This
Is the smallest of the Kotnan hills.
It Is, however, sovereign of them all,
for In ancient Home It held the great
est place from the earliest beginning
until the decay of Home; a record
remaining in the i'alatine. From
the time KoinuluB built his hut
there, to the end of the empire of
the west, the I'aliitlne has loomed
large In Unman hlslory, mid the very
word "palaco" comes to us from the
name of I'alatine. and slnco the early
ceuti'jli'B a royal dwelling Is com
monly called a palace.
Of course we visited the Coliseum.
This Is an Immenso structure all In
ruins, a mute testimonial of the
"felicity" ami "delight" of the Rom
an populace of old. Titus employed
twelve thousand captive Jews to
build this elliptical structure, which
consists of four stnrles and had a
seating capacity of one hundred thou
sand. Years gone by pilgrims were
anxious for relics of the Collsseum
and I'ope Plus V urged Ihose who
wished them to galher anil take with
them the dust, once saturated will)
l,.e r yrcd blood.
The Collsseum, the Pantheon and
Hie Castle of St. Angelo seem to rise
front the soil of Rome, Just as the
vestigeB of some old but extinct race
remains upon the earth to remind us
