Fourteenth century, and in it a seen

among them a king and a bishop-into Il

A PICTURE OF HELL.
Sample of Many Medieval Illus
trationS OF the Dreadful
NIpfSrnO'

Next to the Bible no book has passed
through as many editions, has been more
thought over and worked over, than
Dantes Divine Comedy" During the
Middle Ages it stood side by side with the
Bible in the libraries of the monks, and
was copied and recoped by their tirel"ss
fingers and Illuminated by their artistic
skill.
1t is easy to explain this monastic de-
votion when we know that Dante wrote
his great poems in the faith that the his
tory of the world had been directed from
the beginning toward the redemption OF
the elct: the Roman empire was foreor-
daned and established for this end: il
was to prepare the way for the establish
mcnt of the Roman church.
Is it any wonder, then, that the monks
were eager 10 illustrate his graphic de
>criptions, especially of the Inferno. and
hold them up for the delight @ of the
world

Queer MOnkjsh illustrations.

A learned German. Prof. Ludwig Nolk
mann. has just made Il careful search
among the manuscripts Wondering in the
libraries Of Europe, bringing to light
many strange and striking illustrations
accompanying Dante's works as cOpicG
by the old monks.
In the library of the Vatican Prof
Nolkmann found n picture accompanying
the twelfth canto of the Inferno, III which
the Ccntaur Nessus, Virgil. Dante's
guide through the lower regions, and
Dante himself appear. This is Dante's
description:

Along the crimson boi!ing'S edge,

BREAD DOWN WHILE BEER is UP.
The Price of Flour Dropped With
the Collapse of Letters Corner.

The Price of Flour Dropped With
the Collapse of Letters Corner.
While the price Of beer goes up the cost
of bread Is getting lower The war with
Spain Is responsible for the former, and to
the collapse of Letters wheat corner is
due the latter. The poor people of America
are thankful for the condition of the wheat
market as 1t gives them more bread for
their money.
In sympathy with the recent sharp break
in wheat, all grades of flour have declined,
the reduction averaging 50 to rs cents per
barrel This. naturally will reduce the
price of bread, which has been trying
expense to the poor classes. Values of -four
even at the reduction, are nominal, as bus
mess is being restricted by the Views Of
prospective buyers, who are holding off for
further concessions.
AL the present reduced scale of prices
flour is to-day about GO cents more per bar
rel than during the corresponding time last
year but $120 below the highest price
reached during the recent furry.
When wheat went bowling along on the
up-track in Scent leaps and 5O-cent
bounds in response to the manipulation of
the young Napoleon OF wheat corners, of
course. ffourakept pace and in its wake,
bakers bread was not far behind.
Some of the Savannah bakers are report
ed to have reduced the size Of the loaf to
meet the enormously increased price of
flour. while a few continued to give the
same weight, and by doing so, increased
their business. Now, it is expected that the
old conditions will be resumed and the con-
gunner will get more bread for his money.

Old Proposals to Drain Laurel

That the committee on public health will
advertise for new bids in case Council
approves its recommendation to drain I4au-
rel Grove Cemetery does not seem prob
able, in view of the fact that the old bids
for this work obtained by the Park and

According to the plans, which provide
for drain tiles, connected with manholes

was $1,S12, while the next lowest Is 81 ,522.
There are eight bids in all, tho contrac-
tors being local plumbers mostly. The
plans provide that the water carried off
is to empty into the Springfield canal
There is little question that Council will
adopt the recommendation of the commit
tee and drain the cemetery as provided.
This can be done at a low figure, as com
pared with tho cost of new site, which
was seriously discussed for some time. It
is estimated the draining will solve tho

PLUMBERS SIGN AN AGREEMENT.
They Are Kicking ON Enforcement
of Plumbing Ordinance.

of Plumbing Ordinance.
The plumbers are still ag4tated over the
new plumbing ordinance and its effect on
their business. Several of them have
signed an agreement to stand together In
opposition to what they consider the In
justice Of an enforcement of the provis-
ions of the ordinance in regard to all work
done between the passage of the ordinance
and the appointment of the inspector,
period of about two months.
Notice is said to have been given one
or more plumbers that II all work done
by them during that time is not made TO
comply with the requirements of the ordi-
nance they will be placed on the police
court docket. This would, if they were
found guilty, subject them to a heavy
fine.
One firm stated last night that a test
case would probably be made, and a final
decision be secured from the courts. A
united appeal to Council is also being dis
cussed
The position some of the plumbers take
is that after the passage of the ordinance,
the long delay in appointing an Inspector
led them to believe that the ordinance
was 10 be allowed to become a dead let
ter. They made contracts and executed
work accordingly without taking into con-
sideration the provisions of the ordinance.
To alter this work now to comply with
the ordinance would entail heavy loss.
Another complaint is that the provis-
ions of the ordinance are not construed as
they should be. A set of printed rules for
their Information is desired to throw light
on what the inspector will demand of
them.

WANTS LONGER DINNER HOURS.
Alderman KrOuskoH's Ordinance in
Behalf of City Employees.

Alderman KrOusISOH's Ordinance In
Behalf of City Employees.
Toilers for the city certainly have a
stanch friend in Alderman Krouskoff, who
will introduce an ordinance AT next meet
ing of Council giving them two hours for
dinner during the hot months, instead Of
one hour as at present The passage of
such an ordinance would certainly glad
den the hearts of many.
The fight for a longer dinner recess was
started by Alderman Krouskoff at the last
meeting of Council, when he introduced
resolution providing that the city employees
should be allowed two hours at noon.
The resolution met considerable oppo-
sltion, however, Alderman Guckenheimer
stated there was already too much incli-
nation to delay matters in the city depart
ments by not putting in the necessary
time He said the best work should be
done at the time the resolution sought TO
give two hours rest. He was of opinion
one hour was enough. To bring the mat
ter to conclusion, Alderman Quicken
heinner successfully raised the point that
Council could not regulate such matters
by resolution, as they were things for the
heads Of departments to pass on for
themselves.
The city attorney decided it would take
an ordinance, which Alderman Krouskoff
intends to introduce later. He feels that
better service can be had from the city
employees If they are given sufficient rest.
During the hot months he does not con-
slider two hours more than enough for en-
ployes and intends to push his plans until
the men get that for which they will sure
ly feel grateful.

BELIEVED TO BE A BURGLAR.
14-Year old Eddie stephens Held by
the Police.

the Police.
Fourteen-year-old Eddie. Stephens, col
ored, is In the police barracks charged
with burglary. Goods were found by the
detectives in his possession which strong
ly point to him as the thief who entered
Blumenberg's clothing store ON Bryan
street the other night and carried away a
quantity of goods.
The store was entered by opening a rear
window, but there seemed to be no clue to
the thief. Proprietor Blumenberg saw
Stephens on the street yesterday, however
and having his suspicious aroused, asked
that he be arrested and sent to the bar
racks. This was done, but there was
nothing pointing to his guilt, until Chief
AIcDermott noticed the lad wore a new
pair of trousers. He was accused of steal
ing them and close examination showed
such to be the case. The boy admitted he
got the trousers from Blumenberg's but
said he sat on the fence near by While an
other. boy went inside. He was not re-
leased on this explanation, however, but
held for an Investigation in Police Court
this morning.
Stephens has been In the tolls a number
of times. and Is pretty well known to the
police as a mischievous lad.

Negro Suspects story of How He Got
His Watch and Diamond.
A. Campbell, colored, was locked up yes
terday as a suspicious character having a
gold watch and handsome diamond in his
possession. He was arrested by Detective
Martin Scully.
When asked about the property the ne
gro told a curious story. He said the prop
erty belonged to Col Robert Ralston of
the Third Regiment Pennsylvania volun-
toers, stationed at Tampa. Campbell said
he was Col. Ralston's valet, and that the
colonel requested him to take the watch
and diamonds to his home In Pennsylvania
The diamond seems 10 have gone to anoth-
or negro, however, who. it is said was au-
thorlzed by Campbell to dispose of 1t for
60 cents.
Chief McDermott was not altogether sat
lshed with the explanation and at once
wired Col. Ralston at Tampa, inquiring If
he had sent Campbell away with the ring
and watch. A reply to the message is ex-
pectcd this morning, when Il viii be known
whether Campbell is putting up a straight
story. The belief is he has lifted" the
jewelry somewhere, though there is no
proof to that effect. At any rate, he Will
be held pending an investigation.

Several excited parents were at the Cen
trail depot last night, just before the
Georgia and Alabama train pulled out
with the men, for the-purpose of getting
their sons out of the company. They
claimed that the boys, about five in num-
Der, were under the age of 49, and beg
ged Capt Oliver to release them. This,
Capt. Oliver stated he was powerless to
do, as the men were all mustered into the
army and are now drawing pay from the
government, The only way to get them
out is through the United States author
tiles.
One young lad, a son of a wealthy Sa-
Tannhian, enlisted with the company dur

examination successfully. His parents,
however, got wind of the matter just as
