psnsacoia, Fla, Feb. l5.--(Special)- )-- No fortiication on the seacoast or the United States has a more interesting history perhaps than old Fort Pickens' overlooking the entrance channel to Pensacola harbor--certainly no fortfn- cation of any character that figured in the bloody cfviH strife from '6l 10 '6s has such history.
 Like the eternal rock of Gibraltar the old pile has swlthatood the ravages of time; of siege and assault; of the relentless blasta of sub-tropical storms; of the tireiess, ceaseless- en- croachments of the sea, and yet like a grim sentinel grisxled In the service of it's country, 1t still stands. Q sturdy old fortress. as effective against offensive operations of an unfriendly power aa 1t proved to be as a Federal fortifica- tion throughout the sntire period oi the civil war. gE
 Situated on the extreme western end of Santa Rosa island, overlooking the .entrance to Pensacola harbor and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. the location of Fort Pickens is ideal as . defensive fortress; defended by three immense modern 12-inch disappearing rifles and garrisoned by 300 trained ar tiiierymen. men who man Its great guns and the guns of Forts Pensacola and Cullom and modern battery ot shell-tossing mortars which flank the old pie on every side. notwithstanding It's half century of history making ex- lstence. it Is still reck oned as one of the most impregnable Notifications on the seacoast of the country.

'ORRVILE ROBBERY
PosToFFIcn INSPECTORS WORK
 ING ON CLUES.
Believed That Safe Was Blown Open by White Men--TriaI of La mar Brothern Begins
 fn Selma.

Selma, Feb. Is.-(Speciai. )--Secret service men who have visited the scene of the postoffice robbery at Orrvtiie, which occurred about o'clock Satur- day morning, are believed to have found trace of the robbers which they are following.
 Such was the information which was received here this morning from Orr ville. the report saying that two post off1ce inspectors had made an investi- gation of the robbery and are believed 10 have secured q description of a strange white man who might be i'm. plicated in the robbery of the post- office.
 This white man who. 1t is believed. the inspectors are tracing, is said to have been seen around Orrville several days during the past week. He was seen there Friday afternoon and since then has nysteriousiy disappeared. The people around Orrville believe that he with one or two companions. robbed the postoffice and blew open the safe.
 The amount which the robbers took from the safe is not as large as was re- ported. It was reported that the rob- and between $500 and $500 in cash Since that time Postmaster E. W. Burt has taken an inventory of the con- tents of the safe which was blown and this reveals that the robbers only se- cured SIPS in cash and stamps and sev- eral papers which are of value to Postmaster Burt, but upon which the robbers can realize nothing.
 Another article of importance which the robbers took and upon which they win hardly attempt to realize anything was cheek for ss2o. This check had been drawn by MT. Nicely, we'll known resident of Orryiiie, Friday afternoon and placed in a letter and mailed.
 This letter containing the check was to have come to Selma in the mail from Orrvilie Saturday morning but 1t was discovered by the robbers. opened and the check taken out.
