Florence, Italy, Jan. 25, 1900, A. d.
Startling revelations concerning in
tolerable conditions in Hades and its
environs. are soon to come to light
as a result of the recently completed
tour of that country by Mr.. Dante
Alighieri, Of 8191 Garibaldi avenue,
this city. The expenses Of the tour
were met by several capitalists Of this
city, who have asked that their names
be withheld from the public prints.
While they contend that their inter-
est tn the matter Is a purely philan-
thropio one and that they never ex-
poet to vote from the place In Ques-
ton, nor have any business dealing
with n. r. H., Satan, there are widows
and orphans In the poorer sections
of East Florence who maintain that
their moneys were ill-gotten and that
they hope to have some Of the current
abuses righted before the Grim Reap
err sends them his card.
This is strenuously denied by Mr..

Dante. He declares that what few
some personal friends, and that his
guide on the trip was the late Virgil,
A poet, who did the office through
friendship and did not charge him
plaster for it..
Mr.. Dante was seen soon after his
return at his luxurious bachelor apart
ment in the Footers Arms. He was
suffering from slight cold in his
head, which, he explained, came from
the sudden change Of atmosphere
when he emerged from the sub base
ment regions.
LAS to the charge that there was
tainted money behind me-" said Mr..
Dante, Il can answer that easy one
with both hands tied behind me and
my eyes shut. In the first place, If
there had been any contamination on
what little cash I carried in my jeans,
it would have been effectually rid of
all germs before I had travelled three
Internal miles. The temperature there
was so high that no microbe could
have lived even If he sat on chunk
Of ice and had high-geared electric
fan turned on him.
Furthermore, my travelling expenses
we're practically nix. About the heav-
est outlay consisted in the made-to-
order asbestos costume which the eli
mate made necessary
Mr.. Dante interrupted himself here
to give vent to violent sneeze. After
which he partook Of a pink lozenge
and continued in a more robust tone.
Evidences of antique methods and
inefficiency began to assail my alert

lenses the minute 1 stepped on the
ferry that carried me across the Styx
River. While several million shades
pass that way every day, and the in
crease this year on account Of the war
in the Balkans has been one OF 40 per
cent, there has been no apparent at
tempt to put on new boats or make
modern improvements on the infirm
ferries in commission.
lone fact that may contribute to
this condition Is that Admiral Sharon,
sole owner and operator of the Inter-
Universe Steamship and Navigation
Company, has q perpetual franchise
on the business. Furthermore, the
terms Of the grant are such that all
competition is barred out forever.
While we make considerable fuss here
on the outer crust about the satiable
appetite Of trust magnates, We can
count ourselves fortunate indeed that
transportation line above ground. No
mortal trust would be such a poor
sportsman as to accept terms that
thus strangled all competition before
birth.
There are but four boats on the
Styx run. They are the Sharon II,
Sharon III, Sharon ", and the Luells
Sharon. The names of the first three
are indications of the monumental
egotism Of the owner-the last is
named for his youngest daughter. All
four are such rotten hulks that no re-
spectacle barnacle would hang to them
in the Atlantic Ocean. Every trip is
so overcrowded that there is no room
to sit down--the seats having been
removed so that more passengers
could be carried at one load.
II looked closely and did not find
a single life boat or a life preserver
on any of the fleet. This is a fair
example Of the way in which all rights
Of the traveller Is ignored. I asked
Admiral Sharon about these things,
and his defense was that he could
not afford to put in improvements
since all travel was one way, and
there was no freight carried on the
inc. He averred that the business last
year was conducted at an actual loss
and pointed out that the stocks of his
were selling at about what
it cost to print them on the floor of

Of friends who have no more man

1T was in the heart Of winter and
at the height Of the bathing season
when I visited Birthstone Beach-the
popular shore resort of Flame Sea.
There is little or no supervision there
Of the costumes that the bathers do
or do not wear. I saw with my own
eyes persons lolling on the hot sands
