“THE TATLER.’’ 28 Iorture and death were not tar oft. The enemies of popular freedom, the wicked corrupt men of the city, the followers of the banished ruler and the friends of the Pope made a formidable band of bitter enemies. The Pope, judging Savonarola by himself, attempted to silence him by the offer of a cardinal’s hat. but Savonarola scorned it saying. No red hat will I have but that of a martyr reddened with my own blood.’’ 1 he red hat of a martyr! When interdiction and excommunication had silenced that wonderful tongue, his enemies gained the ascendancy and the fickle Florentines turned upon their benefactor; arrest, imprisonment, insult, torture, the gibbet and the stake were the rewards he received for his services. Yet today Florence and the world revere his memory; for “They may shatter to earth the lump of clay that holds the light divine But they cannot blot the spoken words from the memory of mankind. Today abhorred, tomorrow adored So round and round we run And ever the truth comes uppermost And ever is justice done.” Yes. Savonarola, the end of the contest is victory! Lucii.i.k Ewers LOST. STRAYED OR STOLEN- From the A. H. S. Building on the evening of April 4. Three or four dozen hurdles. Finder please return to this address and receive reward.
