FLORENCE IN ITALY. —> AS SEEN BY USS HATTIE STIDABAKER and MRS. ALLISON. An Account of Many Things Historic and Otherwise whkh Ls lost Interesting. Florence. Italy. A traveller - ' departure from a hotel | in Europe is a matter of some time and ceremony. There are so many persons to be remembered with a last fee. The ehambermaid. the bell boy. j your waiter at the hotel, the headwaiter. the porter or ccueierage in the j hall, ail smilingly intercept your way to the carriage. Our quartette of | Americans must have well bestowed" their fees, for as our carriage drove | off from our hotel in Rome, a bouang ’ ful faces, 1 manager down to the bell bey beamed upon us while the voices g •. bye."' “adieu." "tdieu." It was only a little after eight o’clock in the morning and but few people were astir in the streets. At the railroad station we were (". teed in | a compartment of the train bound for ; Florence and seats in th” dining ear I were engaged for us. As trains never start on time in Europe we eat in our 1 compartment quite a iitttle while be- I sere the horn blew, the engine bell | rang and we were erf. Our road j skirted the city, passing around the southern side and then to the north until we came out among the green fields the n -rthw—t We -tc«d -.t the windows and looked back at disappearing spires and domes with tender regret, then, cue by one, seated ourselves ind turned our attention t the landscape about us. We were whirling along through green fields past white f irm hi uses. with here and there a handsome villa standing in a pleasant grove, or a round tower crumbling to decay. The sun shone warm, spring flowers had opened in the fields and when the train stopped the song of birds was in the air. At Foligno we left our ear and went to our seats in the dining ear for our iuuch. They served only a full meal. Mrs. S severe headache decided she e uld eat nothing. As there is bo connection between the cars of the train, one cannot pass from one car to another, j and she was forced to wait in the dining car until the train st pped a: the next station That was one hour later when all in the dining ear changed back to our several places in the other is She was cents (half a lira) for the seat she citpied. though no one else had wanted it. We had a fairly good lunch for which we paid three and a half liras ior seventy cents i. It was not: rly - _- <t - - an American diningcar at >l.<A’. We find thatthecaseinmanv other things. We pay mcr? at home but proportionately we get a larger return for our money. We passed through many thriving towns and reached here about half past two "cl vk in the afternoon. Our only cotnpanijns in tr.e in mpartment had been an American gentleman and lady with whom we son f*~lt quite at home and interchanged travelers’ stories and experiences They were going directly on to Venice so we were forced to part. Here we are staying at the hotel “Florence et Washington" Lung" Arao. A* its name te.' patr.-nized by English and Amencs: « and is . n the street overlooking the river Arno. That river, so often the theme of the •diet’s song, from days >f old, down to Browning and our Longfellow, flows before our door. But t here inot much water now in the broad gravelled bed encased between stone wails, which extend three feet above the st .-vet, thus forming a stone parapet from which loungers gaze down into the clear water below. Five of the bridges crossing the Arno are within sight from our door. The mqst curious is the quaint old bridge of the goldsmiths. On this bridge

the goldsmiths live and have little shops built along the sides of the bridge. It is very old. and Long fellow, in one of his poems, makes it say as is a king in life, ‘Tremember when the medici I Were driven form Florence; longer still ago The final wars of Ghibelline and Guelf. F! >rence adorns me with her jewelry: i Audit hen 1 think that Michael Angulo i Hath leaned on me, I glory in myself. The first afternoon we were here we ; started out fora stroll. We had no ' guide. The next morning our guide ! was in attendance. For that after I uoon we could visit a few well known places alone. We would first go te ■ the Cathedral. At the hotel where everyone is most obliging, we were given directions how to find our wav aid we sallied forth. We turned into I the Viadia Fossi, strolled along that ! thoroughfare looking into the shop' : wind. vs. turned into another street. I came i ut on a large open paved square. crossed it and entered the church on I rhe other side. But the interior was j disappointing. We did not find the J pictures and monuments we expected : see. We knew there must be some ! mistake. We went outside and looked : up. We saw spires, but not the great j dome which Michael Angolo admired. I and which he loved so much that when he designed the dome of St. I Peter’s at Rome, he made it a trifle I smaller in order that the precedance j might be retained by Florence, his native city. No. certainly this church was rat the Cathedral. We re-entered ' the church and inquired of a groupe | of Italian ladies who were seas.il and conversing in low tones. One could speak a little English and told .s this | was the church of Santa Mar ;. N.vella. Then she came out of the i church with us, crossed the Piazzo . showed us the proper way to the Cathedral. This was another instance in which we realized the courtesy and kindness of an Itallian woman. We | seen saw how we had made the mistake when leaving the Via dei Fossie of turning to the left instead of the right. Five minutes’ walk brought us out I ! on the small square or PiazzoDuomo. and there loomed up before us the I | great Cathedral er Duomo. Ft is a ' marble structure of great beautv. five j hundred and fifty feet long, three I hundred and forty wide and includ- | ing the dome and lantern, three i hundred and fifty-two feet high. It was completed in and represents I the work of six architects, from Arm Ifo the original designer, and Giotto to ' Bnmelieschi the designer of the great jjom?, and it covered in bail ting | two centuries <f time. The dimensions of the interior are very itr.pres- - I" - ; ... •-- one of the beauties and glories of the | place. We hired an old man. n lounger about the place waiting to be | eufployed as a guide. He told us to I ■ - .1 i ' --- i the church would be ended. A great i choir of several hundred voices accompanied by stringed instrameuts. I - - T- ■ r — ; -- ! ages from the sacred scriptures which ! express the praise and sighs and ' lamentations for the death of cair ■ savior. For this is Passic® week. We i sat for half an hour and listened te now sad nowtriumph- ■ ant a- It swelled f. rth and r k-d along the arches and aisles the church up to the great dome. One magnificent tenor voice was clstinguishable in the volume of melody. | We tried to pick out the singer at were unable to detect him among sc many. When the music had x.-ed ?.nd the choirh ad formed into procession and passed out of the church, we arose and followed cur old guide. He loved the place and was a competent and tenderly appreciative guide. He condm-ted us through the choir which stands in sr:nt the great altar, then tnre ugh the s; ie .ls’cs which are separated from thsyaeious and lofty nave by pillars. There are no chapels along the aisles, so that there is m re breadth and freedom in the interior in propertioo |to actual space than is usual in i j churches here. B-sides tile antique : painted w ad-vs. the .-arvings. and the principal objects of interest are’ I monument of Brunelleschi, bust of ' Giotto and the entombeuen. an un- : -tied piece of statuarv bv M. ■ A: g I The campanile or beli tower is at the ~ uthwest orner and entirely detaehed from the Cathedral. It is cue of the wonders not only of Fi orence i but cf the world. It was designed by Giotto and looks airy and iaee•ike. though it is two hundred and! ninety-two feet high. It is eloborotclv adorned with statuary and bass-reliefs. Buskin said, that power and beauty in the highest possible relative degree. existed so far as he knew, only in cue budding in the world, the Camile of Giotto at Florence. We walked across the street to the Bapristry. which is directly opp.-li-the Cathedral It was once, five hundred vears ago, the Cathedral of Florence, but now. as its name indicates. is is used for administering toe | ordinancre of baptism to all children bom in Florence. It is an octagonal in shape: a queer eight sided building whah seems to stand in the middle of the street. Its chief attract-, ns are the three bronze doors. The oldest is on th-' south side. It was de signed and completed in 1330. after a labor of twenty years by Andrea Pisano. The scenes represented arefrom the life f John the Baptist. The ■ i ether two doors, designed and eseeut|id bv Ghiberti, were pronounceii by Michael Angelo “worthv to be the gates of Paradise." The first, on the >rtn sale, on which be spent twentyoue years. 1406 to 1424. 'depicts the historv of Christ, the dec:pies and the ■ Church to St. Augustine. The sec-

ond and most famous is on the east : side, facing the Cathedral. It repre ' seats ten scenes from Old Testament: history, and is considered oue of the. masterpieces of modelling of the sis-; teenth century. We had '<e’n a monument to Dante I in the first church we had visit-d.i which had revived our interest in that I great poet, and the thought that I lor | ence had been his home, led us to seek i the house in which he had lived. Mrs. i S. is a great Dante student and has ■ read evervthing she can find alvut I ; him. We found \ ia. Dante, the street j on which he lived, but not the house It was nearly dark and we gave ut the search for the pres- nt. W efelt I we were too strange in the city t wander in unfrecuente-i by ways after. dark. As we walked back to the hotel I we passed through a square when I there was a statue of heroic size of | Victor Immanuel. The lights were > turned on and throngs were hurrying . through the streets on their home I : ward way. At dinner that night we found that . there were many English people,stay 1 ing in the hotel. Some of t were in evening dress, with thin ;aev I covering over the neck and an:.'. which locked decidedly chilly in the!

cold dining room. W hat a sacrifice : of comfort for custom I Other places < f interest we have found in Florence are the Piazza del-! re Savcnarol-i the reformer and i pulpit orator w - ■.g.-*.l and burr:■ ed. and where a beautiful statue of him marks the spot. It was erected., ctilv a few years aso. On the south-1 west side of the s; ..-.re is a plain :• .long building with a tower three! hundred feet i.i_'l. c riled the P. .

In the interior of the building is the great l and the private apartments .: Medici family, who retided there for many years.
