TIE ICE MACHINES PART.
At Last There Has Been'n New Fea-
turc Introduced Into Uncle
Toms Cabin.

There is a new wrinkle in "Uncle Toms
Cabin theatrical companies. One of them,
which is ransacking the state of New Jer-
sey for audiences, has hit upon the device of
buying refrigerating machine and using
real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza,
pursued by pack of barking mongrels,
crosses the river carrying in her arms a
stuffed doll.
The icemaking machine has proved an
enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera
house, where the ice machine played few
evenings ago, frantic crowd fought its way
through the doors At the first perform
ground. Several cakes were manufactured
before the performance and placed on the
green baize river. They were carefully sand
ed on the surface, SO that when Eliza made
her grand dash for liberty she would not
turn undgnifed somersaults. The ice ma
chine, however, had been so largely adver-
tised that yokels wanted to see it. They
sat in their places after the curtain de-
scended upon the solemn death of Little
Eva and howled for the ice machine to come
out and show itself The stage manager
and couple of deck hands had to carry it
down to the footlights. Then they turned
the handle and, amid uproarous applause,
the machine produced cake of real ice.
play for the ice machine. When the river
scene opens couple of southern spectators
are discovered experimenting with the
machine. They produce their ice, and not
having any immediate use for it turn it into
the river, and it sits upon the river surface
at proper intervals to accommodate Eliza S

alone and try your remedies. Before

The initial force was with our men.
The enemy, being on the defensive,

to surrender, soon became entangled
with one another. Those nearest the

Then some one dashed against my horse
and set him spinning like teetotum.
Confusion worse COMPOUNDED reigned.
Our men could do nothing but shoot,
hack, pummel, each man fighting on
his own hook. At last a troop of con-
federates were separated from the rest,
driven to the rear, and captured. The
enemy without began to tear down the
fence on one side, but the general sent
Rourke to beat them off. The force
that had effected an entrance was de-

brought Pings and Snaffle's commands
together behind Wilton's and, order
ing Wilton to divide in the center, sent
the united forces charging between
the wings.
This finished the fight. A few con-

Modern Stategy.

For strategy has in these modern
days assumed additional Importance
from the fact that even when battle
is joined it's influence is still largely
felt. Distances in modern battle are
SO great, and the minor units become SO
dispersed, that the direction of the fight
is very likely to slip from the grasp
of the supreme leader. Once launched
in the attack men can rarely do more
than proceed straight to their front.
A change of direction to a flank under
fire will be all but, if not quite, i'm
possible, and it will not be easy to SUBJ
sequently correct errors in direction
made at the outset. A battle will be
fought out much more closely as it was
originally planned, and there will be
little room for sudden inspirations or
brilliant strokes such as formerly made
Or marred the day. Now strategy
teaches not how to strike, but where
to strike, not to make the most of a
bad situation, but to insure that the
situation will be the reverse of bad,
that before ever, shot; is fired the
odds will be in your favor rather than
in that of your enemy. Not only, there
fore, is strategy as potent factor as
ever within it's own sphere, but it has
invaded the realm where tactics alone
formerly held sway.-London Saturday
