| .#r . THE EVACUATION OF PAVIA. .--..
An item, and by no means an unimportant one
in the recent exciting foreign news, announces tina
the Austrians, in their general retreat before tn
advancing armies of the allies have evacuated TIL,
ancient city of Pava, which they have occupied fol
many wears. This city lies on the very frontier o
the Austrian possessions in Lombardy, and is separ
ated from the Sandman territory by the river I'll
emo. remarkable bridge of seven arches, and ont
of the most singular relics ofhe fourteenth century
crosses the stream at this point, and is fanked OF
either end by the Austrian and Sandman Custom
houses. This bridge, built of stone and brick, il
three hundred feet in length, and is covered with
| roof supported by one hundred granite columns :
| Like many of the medieval structures of Italy, i
was built at the period when the cities of what
| now known as Lombardy and Tuscany were free re
publics, and when Pavia under that form of gov
| eminent.
Pava, rejoicing in the title of ''The
! City of the Hundred Towers" is at the present
time grand and venerable city, bearing inits wide
streets, its numerous places and its ruined castles
where Lombard kings once held their medieval
| courts, all the marks of magnificent decay The
| population is somewhere near thirty thousand. In
the classic times the place was known Ticinum
and under Augustus was city of considerable i'm
| portance During the Gothic dominion in Italy the
name was changed to Papia, and then to Payia II
| was In more recent times a wealthy city, and al
period contained no less than forty-six converts
Like every Italian town of any importance, Pavia
has often felt the shock of war; and has suffered
eral seges the most important of these battles took
place in its immediate vicinity the oath of Feb
ruary, 1925, between the French under Francis the
| |. and the Imperialists. The French were then in
vading Italy, and had laid siege to Pavia, which
| was gaantly defended by Antony de Leyva. A
large force under Lannoy, Viceroy of Naples, hast
ened to the relief of the besieged town and engaged
the besiegers in battle. The result of this conflict
the total defeat of the French and the dispers-
| ing OF their army, while the King Francis i. and
! Henry King of Navarro were taken prisoners, ma
ny officers slain and ten thousand prvates left dead
| on the field 1t thought probable that the
French would again besiege Pavia ere long, but the
quiet retirement of the Austrians has spared them
| the trouble. ..-. -...
0flate years Pavia has been attractive to tourists
! on account of the celebrated Certosa or Charter
| house, probably the most luxurious convent that
ever existed, even in Italy. ltwas designed for a
| limited number of wealthy monks who lived there
in great splendor until the convent suppressed
by Joseph H., who appears to have served the mo-
nasteries of Italy very much as Henry VIII, did
| those of England. singular and suggestive fea-
| ture of this splendid structure is the mausoeum,
built to receive the remains of the founder of the
convent, Giovanni Visconti, Duke of Milan who
| died in 1902 The mausoleum, however, took one
hundred and sixty years for its completion. and
then the body OF Nisconti could not be found the
| place where his remains had been temporarily de
posted being forgotten So his gorgeous tomb still
awaits its princely occupant s.
To scholars Pavia is chiefly interesting for its eel
| ebrated University, foundedby Charlemange rising
to the first rank in the middle ages and still retain
ing high position. The students of the Universe
