"Catfish’ Simpson j
Sued for Alimony
Can Put Three Billiard Balls 1
in Mouth, But Can't Seem
to Provide for Wife.
Txm Angeles, March 10.—"Catfish"
Simpson, said to have the largest
mouth on Catalina Island, was re
cently allowed to return to his home
after he had promised Judge John W.
Shenlc that he would pay $30 back all- I
mony to his wife.
Simpson had been brought to I.os
Angeles on complaint of his wife that
he had failed to support her and their |
four children. Simpson told Judge
Shenk he had not paid the money be
cause he had only two children, and If
there were four, two of them were
not his.
'“Catfish" told a story of woe. When
he went to the boat landing at Avalon,
on Catalina Island, to come to Log
Angeles the deputy sheriff who had
been sent after him told the crowd on
tho Island who he wag after and why,
"Catfish” told the judge.
"When I went down to the boat,"
he said, “everyone I owed money to
was waiting to collect. And they col
lected,” he added sadly.
“Catfish" has been prosecuted 16 i
times for failure to provide.
He says he is a good singer and
can place three billiard balls In his
mouth at one time.

Former Omahans Visit
City Without Resident
Travelers View Beautiful Public Baths, Temples,
Palaces and Shops in City of 40,000
Without Seeing Single
Inhabitant.
By C’. W. MXASKILL,
Pastor of the Mf*Ulo<1 1st church at Hast
ings. Neb., nml farmer pastor of Hanscom
I'ark Vethoillst rhurrh In Omaha, who Is
touring Kuropo with his wife. This Is one
of a series of articles he has written for
The Omaha Bee.
How strange to spend a whole day
wandering about In a large city of
35,000 or 40,000 population and not to
And a single person at home. No In
habitant of the city was on the street
anywhere. There were no children
playing about.
We went to the theater, a magnifi
cent building. The door was open but
there was no doorkeeper. We went
In and all about, but not a spectator
in any of the seats, not a player on
the stage.
eW found several Ane temples and a
number of smal er chapels. There
were the marble nltars, the places of
worship, exquifiito images about the
looms and wonderful frescoes on the
walls, but no priest, no preacher, no
attendant, r.o worshipers. A death
like silence was everywhere.
We knew this city was noted for its
public baths. Maybe the people were
there, at least we would And some of
them. We went. We expected an at
tendant to meet us and to get our fee
for the bath. But no, not one. There
was the dressing room where the peo
ple had been. Marble benches lined
the walls, used by them in their dress
ing, In an adjoining room were the
receptacles where the people checked
their clothing and valuables, but no
clothes were there.
Marble IJned.
While waiting for the attendant we
ventured to look about. We first en
tered a circular shaped room, used for
cold baths. It was lined with marble,
had a vaulted stucco ceiling with bas
reliefs of cupids and horses. The bath
v/as a large circular basin of exquisite
marble and the water entered through
a bronze tongue. Next came the room
of the tepid bath, beautiful, richly
decorated, and about the upper part
were terra-cotta statues of herculean
men, Atlas and Telemom their
brawny arms upraised supporting the
cornice.
The room for hot and vapor baths
was especially Interesting. It had a
beautiful white marble mosaic floor 1
and a vaulted ceiling, decorated with
stucco hasreliefs. It was heated by
means of calorifers and by a large
bronze brazier standing at one end
of the hall. The walls were hollow |
and there was a hollow space under
the floor for the passage of heat. At
one end a wonderfully beautiful white
marble fountain, its rim inlaid with
bronze Inscriptions, furnished run
ning water for washing, while a
large rectangular bath at the other
end was for hot water bathing. In
the open court of this inrimene build
ing was a well-equipped gymnasium.
The attendant had failed to lock up
all the paraphernalia so I got a man
who was also a visitor to lift one of
the large stone balls used in the "ehot
put" while I snapped it.
Visit Shop*.
Falling to find anybody at the
batha we thought surely we would
find someone at the shops or In the
market. We visited many of tho
shops. They seemed to he grouped
around the large mansions. We had
to imagine why, as there was no shop
keepers to tell us. We took It for
granted that these were the place*
where the rich proprietors of the
Large palaces offered for sale the prod
uce which came from their country
estates. One place was undoubtedly
a soap factory. Another a wine shop,
for the great wine casks were sittiuj
about, but for some reason were all
empty. Another was a bakery, but
very different from ours. There we
saw hand mills for grinding corn- two
immense lava stones, the under one
of conical form made to fit into a
cavity In the upper one which was
turned by means of levers. It also
had a large cone-shaped cavity into
which the corn was poured. Four of
these were in one shop. Back of
them were the large built-in ovens
and In a side room were eome very
large terra cotta mixing bowls fully
four feet In diameter. In one place
we saw a bronze water boiler sitting
on a small fire box, but the all had
boiled out.
There were two publlo markets,
one for the common people, which
was large, but quite ordinary. Tin
Other was very elegant, was paved
with marble slabs and was surround
ed on three sides by porticos with
dorlc columns of white marble, above
which were other portico* with Ionic
columns. All about were statues of
the Illustrious citizens of the cltv,
part of them equestrian statues and
part standing figures. But not a liv
ing aoul anywhere.
Break Into Homes.
It must ho some holiday or some
sacred day when tha people are all
In their homes. We hesitated to
break In upon the sacredness of the
borne, especially on this home day,
but we Were anxious to leurn about
this strange city. We passed the
house of the leading banker, a Mr.
Ceellius Jucundua. We lifted the
handsome bronze knocker, but as
there was no rcnponse we ventured
to otep Inside. It was a magnificent
home with .white and black marble
mosaic floors. All about were hand
some marble tables, marble benches,
apd marble fountains. The bedrooms
were lined with marble below and tbe
upper part of the wnlls decorated with
rich painting*. Funnel shaped open
ings through the thick walls had the
smaller outer ends covered with glass.
These were windows.
At one side, not far from the dining
room, was a well whoso msrbln curb
was like part of a Corinthian column,
and Its upper rim was deeply grooved
by the constant rubbing of ropes.
Near thl* were lend pipe* whlrh car
ried water to different part* of the
bouse and at one of the Junction* of
the pipes wn* a bronze tap very Ilk*
tho laps In our water pipes at home.
On a marble pedestal In tho antrlum,
or room which yoll first enter, was a
bronze bust of Mr Jurundus. I
imagine it was very lifelike, and from
It I gathered that he must be a very
pleasant iu» well ns n yry Intelligent
gentleman, and we were sorry not to
have met him.
“Beware of the Dog.”
Wi quietly passed out of this house.
| looked up and down the street, but
seeing no one, went on. All along
we noticed that nearly all the doors
were standing open. We knocked at
many of them, but could get no re
sponse; no one w-as at home, not a
sign of life anywhere, not even a dog
or a cat or a chicken was about. On
the threshold of one home we did see
a fine likeness of a dog worked out in
the marble mosaic, and near it a sign
in Latin, "BeWare of tho Bog.” On
the walls of some of the homes we
saw very lifelike frescoes of chickens
and birds of various kinds, also on the
walls of the garden of one home we
saw splendid likenesses of wild ani
mals being pursued In the chase. But
this was as near as we came to find
ing anything alive in this silent city.
We were getting bolder now and we
entered many houses, some of them
perfect palaces. We found the gen
eral plan of the homes, especially the
better ones, much alike. All the
houses w-ere flush wdth the street,
with no lawns in front. Each had
two Inner courts. They were sur
rounded by marble colonnades, and
outside these W'ere the various private
rooms of the house.
Beside the marble columns there
were here and there bronze or marble
busts of members of the family.
But wihere were all the Inhabitants?
As we walked over the well-pavel
streets and saw the deep-worn
grooves made by wheels of the carts
of commerce, of the carriages of
pleasure, of the chariots of war, we
knew that people must have been i
living here and must have been liv
ing here for a longtime. Seeing a white- j
haired old man I asked him If he
lived here. “Oh. no,” he said.
1 asked hhn where were all the
people? He shook his head. I said:
“Does no one live here?” He said
“No.” I said: "How long since they
left and what made them leave?"
He replied: “I am Father Time. These
people all left 2.000 years ago. No
one has lived here since. This Is '
Pompeii, the city that was burled by
the eruption of Vesuvius In the year
V!) A. D. Most of the people rushed
out from their homes and escaped,
leaving everything Just as It was
Some were too late, could not escape. ,
and were burled beneath the ashes
and lava. In one house, the house of
Diomede, were found the traces of 18
bodies, among them one of a child
clinging to a young man's breast.
Near to the garden gate, with the
key still In his hand and a slave at
his side carrying money and objects
of special value, was found the body
of the master, Diomede, trying to
escape, but overcome and burled as
he fell. The houses, so perfect In
other ways, are mostly without roofs.
The roofs were of wood and burned
before the downpour of rain and ashes
put out the fire.
