The East Fight In Armor.


In these days when the public mind IS
at a tension On the subject Of war It may
not be undressing TO recall what Is be-
heved to be the last occasion when suits

The incident according TO chronicIers OF
tile Napoleonlc wars took place in lies
Wnen a small French force was holding
the little fort at AQuilla. in the AbruZZi

Of the district
The French were not strong to fight
The French were not strong enough to

opponents who ournumbered them by
twenty to one. while as the latter had no
guns the Frenchmeu could hold their po-
sition with confidence
4here We're. however. left on the space
dozen OF 50 guns. which the beleaguered
had not been able to take with them into
the fort
An attempt was made by the besiegers
70 remove these guns by means of a long
rope worked by q capstan placed in a
mouse a short distance away. and though
their urst endeavOrs resulted IN failure,
the krencn realized that the ultimate cap
ture of the ordnance would seriously jeop-
ardize the chances Of the fort holding

The necessity Of spizing the guns was
apparent but a sortie in the face Of the

"A HOT OLD TIME"

When the newspapers of San Fran cisco speak in commendation of a pay, the theater-gOer of the Pacific coast bends his ear to listen. The following forms of praise uttered in behalf of the most excruciating funny farce comedy that ever visited the paradise of the west are eloquent Of the strength of the play there. MT. Peter Robertson, doyen of the corps of critics who are the play censors of the slope, in speak ing of the last visit of "A liot O,d Time" said in the ''Chroniola'':
 "This extraordinary farce c-m edy has made a great deal of mCEey for several people. There are three com panies playing it, and with the same success. We must find the reason for this in the liking people lave for a good rousing roar of laughter over funny nonsense. We saw the Rays in it. and it was said that they We e responsible for it's popularity. but 1, seems they had little to do with it. for there never was such jam as there was yesterday afternoon and last night at the Alhambra when the new com pany appeared in it.. The audience was more enthusiastic than ever over the other performance. and it was unhesi- tatingly said by the crowd of boys and young men between the acts that Jess was better than Ray. He was, for he was not so much of a monkey, while
