An Actors Nasal Triumph.

AL 0OtVx 3So60A A14eAA0PAs
Ny own recolleetions of Edward
Arnott relate principally to his fop-
pishness. He was not q professional
beauty, but aspired to be, and failed
only on account of his lack of nose.
He had one, but it was 80 small and
flat that an otherwise handsome face
was by it ruined. On the occasion of
charity performance he appeared
as Romeo. He was lusty in figure
and voice, and by no means q bad
actor. His venture into Shake
spearean heroism was measurably
successful. Wasn't his snub-nosed
Romeo comical? On the contrary,
it was a nasal triumph. By means
Of wax and paint he built out his
nose to fine proportions, and no
stranger In the audience suspected
the imposition. He afterward de-
clared thot the mails for q week
brought tender missives from maid
ems whom at that matinee be had
distracted. It Is common practice
for actors to add artificially to their
noses for comic purposes, bul I never
heard~o another instance of it being
done for Identification. .-N.e,U York

JUDGE nAcKEY,s EloQUrscr.
The EIasen Court-laaxtaal.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Judge
Mackey to-day concluded Z very able
arRument on behalf Of Gen. Haxen,
before the general courtemartial. He
said the return by the Secretary Of
War to Gen. Hazen Of the letters
written was most gracious act; an
act that should have awakened not
only the gratitude IN the breast Of
the Chief Signal Omcer, 1t was 90
felt, but the sense and gratitude that
was felt IL marred by the knowledge
Of the fact that . copy of the letter
appears to havebeen kept. The Sec
retary In this kept his word Of prom
ise to the ear, but broke It to nope.
This was not the open blow of q
Saxon, but the stillett0 stroke of an
Italian. Judge Mackey called atten-
ton to the fact that the accused was
on trial before the court with unchal-
lenged membership. He said that
the accused in thus expressing his
confidence In the members Of the
court has stated his conviction that
in this case the stream will rise above
Its source. ...ss u
The accused, he said is aware that
while the court is authorized by the
President of the United States, the
order detailing 1t was from the Sec
retary of War. The accused drew
the charge, selected the officers to
try 1t and appointed prosecuting Of
ficers. In closing. Judge Mackey
saidf The accused awaits your
judgment with the confidence that
he feels that he Is locked up in the
armor of triple steel against this as.
sault. He feels the Parthean shaft
will be shattered on the bright
shield Of his soldiery record, but If
your Judgment be against him, you
you infict q scar broader and deeper
than those he now carries upon his
body to attest. his honorable services
in this country's war;"
The Judge Advocate in summing
up simply reviewed tho charges and
specifcations of the evidence. He
considered what had been adduced
to sustain them and ct the CON-
clnsion Of his remarks the court
went into secret sss sion to consider
the case.

That Battle-Another Account.

LONDON, March 2l..--Another ac-
count Of yesterday's battle dated 6u-
akin, March 20, is a. follows {: The
battle between the British troops and
Osman Digna lasted five hours. The
marines were first sent to the front
to drive the Arabs out Of the
hills west of Hasheen. As soon as
possible they were Reinforced by bat
teries of Gardner and Krupp guns
and by cavalry. There was red hot
engagement for few hours, during
which the cavalry repeatedly charged
upon the enemy while the machine
guns were worked with deadly effect
wherever their fire could be made
available. Grert bravery was shown
on both sides at the engagement.
The Arab loss in killed and wounded
Is estimated ct 600, The loss
of the British is 40. The Arabs dis
played desperate bravery. The ma.
rlnes drove the Arabs from
the hills and forced them
TO retire to the PLAIN. Then the In
dian troops charged the Arab posi-
tion, but were outdanked and an un-
suspected body Of Arabs succeeded in
getting behind their lines. The In.
dians found Themselves. between two
fires and fed. During this retreat
they were closely pressed by the
Arabs who hamstrung their horses
and speared their riders. The BEN
galese fell back in confusion upon
The English infantry and guards
who had been formed in q hollow
square andthelsquare leisurely retired
while the Arabs yelled that they
had regsined their lost position. At
this juncture the artillery came to
the rescue and . brisk fire of small
shot from the machine guns and
shells from the Krupp field mortars
drove the Arabs from their positions.
The marines maintained q steady fir
ing throughout the engagement, but
the honors of the day ore probably
due to the Irish Lancers, who turned
the tide Of the battle by . desperate
charge and retrieved the fortunes Of
General GrahAm's command when
they seemed almost hopeless. The
British troops have returned to Sua-

Life In Nubia.

The banks of the Nub1an Nile vary
with every mile, and beautiful are
they in diversity of color and COM
bination, though that beauty par.
takes of sterner quality than in the
landscapes of Egypt. Nowhere can
be seen the rich fields which stretch
ed on either shore away to the feet of
the Lybian hills. They have disap-
peared and in their stead rise from
the water's depths tall cliffs In broken
precipice and crag, or the river, OWL
Ing freer bounds, flows majeetically
on beneath rival streams Of border
ing sands that have the gorges Of the
desert hills for channels and the wind
for current.
Poverty is written on the face Of
this sun-scorched country, and such
few strips OF fertile land as the Nile
reaches in its flood are titled with
jealous care by the scanty population
which they support. It il curious to
note with what Jealous care the viii
lagos and temples have been placed
upon the shelving rocks of desert
sand, where none but the lizards
could begrudge their presence. Every
inch of land that can be cultivated IL
coaxed to yield its burden of beans
or doura, and of spare land whereon
to place their villages, good sooth,
there IL enough. Poor though the
Nubian IL, his wants are few, and
his thrifty ways make poverty q light
burden to HIM. Travel where he
will for hire or trade, he leaves his
heart in his wild home of Nubia,
and returns hither when fortune al
lows. ..--..>
No music has for him DO great q
charm a. the melancholy creation Of
the water wheels, the constant plaint
of which grease is never permitted
to diminish, all that he can get being
devoted to the shaggy locks of his
unturbaned head. Nature, who re.
fuses him to dream of aught but lean
kline when he thinks of doura fields,
has given to his land an abundance
of date palms, and on their fruit he
virtually subsists. Little cares the
Ibremee palm for the deserts enemy,
but spreading its feathsry leaves
above the sand or rock gives to- its
planter the much pri3ed fruit which
enables him to exc out the slender
harvests Of the fields.
