Spent Many Months
Travelling In
Europe
Mrs. liupuzzi and .Miss Delia Tells
Interesting Story of Journey
To the Alaskan representative who
interviewed Hiss Delia Rapuzzi, who,
with her mother, Mrs. Teresa Hapuz
zi. returned Sunday from a twenty
two thousand mile trip through
parts of the good United States of
America aud Kurope, sho eatjerly
• ■sitatngly f.aid the hest peo
v..c. » ore Alaskans in gen
> rat and ev-S.^agwayites in particu
lar: ai:d the best city or town she
saw was Skagway. Miss Rapuzzi de
clares there are 110 skies so blue, no
air so pure and invigorating, no peo
ple so wholesome as our own; in
short: "There's no place like home".
" 'There seems to be', said Miss
Kapuzzi, 'a certain brotherhood', un
named and hard to define, yet which
all ox-Alaskans consider themselves
to be. by diving right, charter mem
bers of. We were very agreeably
surprised to receive a telephone call
from Andrew Stevenson, in Chicago,1
who had learned through the Cana
dian l'aeitic oltice of our presence ia
the city, and who lost no time in get
ting in communication with us. Mr.
Stevenson called at our hotel that
day aud took us to luncheon. The j
following day Mr. and Mrs. Steven
son set aside as Skagway Day, devot
ing the entire day to us. They rail
ed at our hotel in the morning in
their Murmon car and personally
conducted us over what seemed to
i;s must be all of Chicago with lunch
eon at their beautiful home 011 Sher
idan Koad.
!m X■ '.v York, at the Pennsylvania
hotel, where Sir. Stevenson had
made reservations for tts by wire,
we found that Alaskans are regard
ed in the states as Americans are re
garded in Europe. On'registering
and inquiring if there was a reserva
tion lor us the clerk informed U3
there was. I asked him the price
of the room, and was informed it
.vas S12.U0 per day. 1 remarked that
;»t ; s I..at was a little high for us,
to which he replied. 'Why, what do
kou care for the price: You're from
Alaska are'ut you?" We never reg
; t il from Alaska again. All over
Europe we found it the same. It
was, of course, impossible to hide
0 r identity, and the spirit of "Get
• Alm :-;. all-dollar' prevailed wher
ever we went.
"We sailed from* New York on the
V 'ute Star l.uer. Celtic, January 5.
The first night out was very rough,
IiIhm:- i not sufficiently so to make
:iier my mother or I in the least
timoii.u i table. The weather contin
ued to become more ideal each day
and when we reached the Slediter
rauean it was one continuous ideal.
1 found that the 'blue' of the Medit
erranean is no misnomer. Can you
. agine sailing through that blue
water, as smooth as plate glass, sit
titjts on deck ail day bathed in sun
and in the middle of January?
"On January 14, we sighted the
:irst land since leaving boston. It
was Azores. This is a very pretty
little town with houses all painted
white and surrounded with green
lawns. On account of cholera in
tiivvn we were not allowed to go
..shore. From Azores it is two days
to (.ibraltar. where we arrived at
7: no p. m., the ICth. We anchored
e harbor and next morning went
ashore in tenders. Gibraltar is a
r little town inhabited by queer
litiic brown people. The streets are
qm-er little narrow ones lined with
lilt!" shops. Leaving Gibraltar at
"ii p.m.. the 17th, after a very hot
' dav ashore we took up the last leg
Jet" our southward journey. At 11:30
a. ni., the 20th. we sighted the is
land of Sardinia and arrived at Na
ples at -1: r»0 p. m. Here we met
| ottr lirst Customs' Inspector, who,
I like our poor relations, have been
with us ever since. We have met
si."8, colors and ages of Customs'
Inspectors, including our own George
•Miller. 1 believe the latter was the
least troublesome, while the French
were the most.
"Naples iloes not appeal to either
my 11101 her or myself. Of course
The Bay of Naples is all and more
than we had heard. The sunsets
were beautiful, but if one becomes
too much enthralled with the setting
sun, there is danger of some adven
turous Neopolitan sneaking up and
walking away with one's watch.
Architecturally Naples is the most
hniuteresting city we saw. Naples
is 'Heathen Chinee'. It was in Na
ples that we became acquainted with
a hotel custom which will sound
queer to Americans. When evening
comes they pull iron shutters down
over the doors and windows and
Pioneers' Home
Visited by Five
Legislators
Condition at the Pioneers' Home
at Sitka are excellent,' said Sena
tor Hunt tliis morning, in discussing
the visit of the members of the
Territorial Legislature to the Ter
ritorial institution. "The Pioneers'
at the Home have little to complain
They are being well fed, the accomo
dations are good, but perhaps sugges
tions for improvements will be made
by the committee. There is absolul
ly no complaint to make on the man
agement of the instituUon."
Senator Hess, also a member of
the committee, said he was well
pleased with the inspection trip, be
ing his first visit to the Home. "I
believe the housing could be better
arranged, more privacy given the
inmates, as many are forced to be
in large wards, and this matter
should lie changed, but 1 do not
know just when it can be accom
plished."
Representative Itickert, chairman
of the House Coin milieu .011 Terri
torial Institutions, said: "The Home
is in fine condition. 1 do not see
how we could get any better man
than Superintendent Harry Morton.
Mrs. Morton is also very popular
with the inmates."
Representative Brown stated that
everything seemed to be i>i splen
did shape at the Home.
Five members constitute! the
special committee sent to Sitka.
Senators Hunt and Hess from 1I13
Senate, and Representatives Itick
ert, Brown and Frame from the
House. The committee left last
Saturday afteroon 0:1 the Forestry
Service boat Ranger No. 5 ,iud re
turned last night at G o'clock.. Cod
dard's Sanitarium was also visited
lock them. When one wishes to en
ter the hotel they must press a but
ton, when the clerk will come to the
door, open a small wicket and, if
one has the passward, he is admit
ted. Another peculiar feature in
Italian hotels, and one that seems j
commendable, is (hat the- elevators j
do not run into the lobby or office,
but into a vestibule just off the
street, so that on arriving at a hotel
you ttfe taken direct to your apart
ment where you may have opportun
ity to powder your nose before reg
istering. Uoth these customs are
universal in Italy.
"We spent three'days in Naples
during which time we saw all worth
seeing in and about the city, includ
ing the Cathedral of St. Genero, and
San Carlos Opera House. We- also
went across the arm of the bay to
! Pompeii from where we could look
up above our heads to smouldering
Vesuvius.
"From Naples to Rome by rail oc
cupied five and one half hours. We
were crowded, with about fifteen
others, into a compartment built to
accomodate S or 10. They call them
carriages over there. We Jjought
first class tickets and were very glad
of it, for if we were traveling first
class 1 do not care for third. We
noticed that Italians seem to be en
gaged by the railroad companies be
cause of what they do not know
about railroading. They display a
thorough and consistent ignorance
of when a train will leave, where it
is bound for, or when it will arrive
at its destination. The equipment
is very good, being electrolysed most
of the way, and one imagines they
are so near the ground.
"Home is to me the wonder city.
I Wo spent three days there and they
I were days filled with wonder. We
visited every noted structure that is
was possible to visit in that time, in
cluding The Colosseum, The Panthe
on, attended Vespers at St. Paul's
Cathedral, visited the Vatican with
its noted library and museum. It
was in Rome that we used a taxi
from nine in the morning till five in
the afternoon, for $2.50. American
money, and enjoyed, it seemed to us,
watching the happiest cabby in all
Italy. We had asked the .manager
of a certain American tourist agency
what the taxi rate was by the day,
and were told ?5.00. On returning
to our hotel in a taxi that night, we
asked the driver what Me would
charge us to call for us in the morn
ing and take us around aJl day. He
said 60"lire, which is about S2.50 in
our money. We engaged him and
when he called the next morning
he was dressed in all his finery and
throughout the day he would salute
other taxi drivers and make a great
showing of personally conducting."
j This interesting story of the tr'p
of two Skagway women to Europe
and return will be continued in our
(•next issue.—[Ed.

and Representatives talked individ
ually with the inmates, met many
