Late at the Play.

We know from Pepys and from
passages in the plays of contempt
rary dramatists that the manners Of
thoater audiences in the restoration
epoch were not nice, but there is no
reason to believe that even the tops
habitually arrived at the theater
late. Mr.. Sparkish, Mr.. Novel and
their fellows would talk loudly while
the play was going on to show the
superiority of their wit tothe poets,
but they likely were on hand early
to lose none of the fun. In later
epochs of English theatrical history
theater going was a serious under
taking, not mere pastime. One can
tell from the beginnings Of old plays
that the authors counted on audi
ences closely attentive from the
first. Lady Randolph is the first
speaker in Douglas, Orestes in
"The Distressed Mother, Almeira
in ''The Mourning Bride. " The GUS
tom of "playing the audience in"
with short piece was of still later
origin. Perhaps about that time the
habit of going late to the theater be-
came common. "Half price" for
late Corners was a custom of Thack-
eray's time, SO perhaps the ordinary
New York playgoer of this era, who
nearly ruins the enjoyment of few
by going late to the theater, talking
as loudly as he pleases as he enters
and selfshly fussing over his wraps
before he settles in his seat, has
some sort OF historical precedent for
his behavior. 1t has nothing else to
recommend it.-New York Times.

HORNETS or THE SEA.
MEN WHO MAN TORPEDO BOATS
~ TRAINED TO KILL AND DIE.

In Peace These Narrow Craft Are Float
ing Torture Hells-In War They Are AL
most Certain to become Steel Collins
For officers and Crew.
r No matter how much in dispute may
be the value of the torpedo boat in mod
ern naval warfare one thing is agreed
upon unanimously in peace they are
most uncomfortable craft on which to
serve ones country.
The other day the Winslow was Or
dered from Norfolk navy yard to join
the fotilla cruising off Key West. A
heavy sea was breaking as she reached
the oapes, but she pluckily stuck her
nose into it and turned southwark with
hardly more than the top of her smoke
stack out of water. If you know how a
long, narrow boat behaves in Seaway,
you can imagine how little comfort her
crew had during the trip.
So little is there to make life bearable
on these torpedo boats that in the Eng
lish navy they are obliged to pick men
for torpedo boat service and give in
creased pay to the entire crew and
officers of the fiotilla.
1t is impossible to avoid this disoom-
fort. The torpedo boats are constructed
primarily for speed, and their light
ness, narrow beam and shallow draft,
while enabling them to make fair speed
in calm weather, makes them almost
Oinhahit3hle in had weather.
In a recent trip of torpedo boat
across the Atlantic it was found i'm
possible for days at time to light
fire in the cooks quarters. The officers
were so cramped in their cabins that
they were forced to sit with their feet
propped up against the sides of the boat

er was hurled from side to side of the
narrow steel tube until all were mass
of bruises and Commissions. To cap their
troubles they slept with the unpleasant
knowledge that beneath them were
stored explosives sufficient to blow
them beyond the clouds.
The discomforts in time of peace are
bad enough, but in wartimes the tor
pedo boats may we'll be called the for
lorn hope of the fleet. Enough has been
seen of the dangers to show what small
chance there is of the boats crew living
through torpedo duel. The most trag
ioal event of recent naval battles in
which torpedo boat took part occurred
on the night following the battle Of the
YaIu, when the Chinese ships had
sought shelter in convenient bay, with
only small outlet to the sea. Through
this opening a japanese torpedo boat
stole during the night to the attack.
The commander of the Chinese vessel
Ting-yuen and a number Of his crew
were on deck expecting some attack.
When signaled by other vessels that the
torpedo boat had been sighted, the
Ting-yuen began to fire in the direction
from whence she came. The smoke
from the guns made it impossible to see
the attacking boat, and the command
was given to cease firing. The Chinese
commander next discovered the torpedo
boat about half a mile distant, coming
at full speed toward the ship. The gun
crew Immediately opened fire upon her
with all their machine and rapid fire
guns.
The japanese succeeded, however, in
discharging her torpedo. A dull, muf1ed
report announced the explosion under
the quarters of the ship. The result was
a hole in her bottom that practically
wrecked the ship. All her compartments
were filed with water and the fires ex-
tinguished. AS the weather was bitter
cold-20 degrees below zero-the ship
had to be abandoned.
The fate of the crew of the torpedo
boat was simply appalling. She was
discovered the following morning float
ing in the bay. The first man who
boarded her found what was left of the
crew frozen to death on her decks. The
engineer, machinist and fireman had
been scalded to death through the cut
ting of the steam pipes by one of the
smaller shots from the machine guns.
They we're all below decks. The chief
engineer was found near the hatchway
Of the engine room, frozen stiff. 1t was
evident, however, that he had died
from the scalds and burns. Out Of the
entire crew of IA men not one escaped.
So you see that these hornets of the
sea do not have things all their own
way even in war. That they fully real
ize this is shown by recent remark of
Lieutenant Commander Kimball, who
has charge of the torpedo boat fiotilla.
Chow to kill and how to die" says
Lieutenant Kimball, Unjust be learned
in the trade Of war. A knowledge of
the latter is considered more important
than the former. Men are trained to
kill effectively; they are disciplined to
die properly. The men of the fotilla
know how to accomplish the first part
Of their trade; they can be relied on to
do the latter. I"

A LEGEND OF COLONIAL TIMES.

Tragic Death OF Nell Hilton and Her
Ghostly ReappeaFanccs- How She Has
Correctly FOretOld Wars and Promised
Timely Warnings.
The good people of Jonesboro, Me-, are
confident that the United States will not
be involved In war during the present
year. So firmly are they convinced that
lasting peace is In store for this nation
says the New York Sun, that they are
making plans for work on their farms,
and they hope to do good business catch
ing sardines in New Brunswick waters
and bringing them to the Maine cam
neries. They argue that as Nell Hilton
predicted the French and Indian and the
Revolutionary wars before she died and
as her ghost has since correctly fOretold
the war of 1919, the Mexican war and the
great struggle between the states she
seems to be trustworthy person to have
near in case of emergency and that, in
view of her past services no sensible cit1-
zen should go to the trouble and expense
of buying arms and equipments until she
gives her usual warning.
The story of Nell Hilton is more than a
century and half old She was the daugh
ter of Cape Cod fisherman who removed
his family to Jonesboro before the middle
of the last century. According to the ira
ditions she was pretty Puritan maiden
who resented the restraint that the Plym-

women and coaxed her father to move
