 The orchestra will be in it's best, and those who can afford it will pay 50 cents admission, and will certainly be there, while those who cannot don't need to pay anything.
 Some people cannot keep still when they hear good music; some don't want to. while others can do nothing else. Those with music in their feet will be provided with a slick floor on which they can fan the air to their hearts content, Saturday Night, Don't Forget.

KRUPP SIEGE GUNS
 AN OLD INVENTION

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 AMSTERDAM, Feb. S-The notion that the Krupp 42-centimeter gun is a great novelty is repudated by Messrs. Krupp in statement issued a few days ago. It says:
 We exhibited 42-centimeter gun at the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893, This, however was a coast de- fense gun, and was not transportable in the field like our 42-centimeter mortar. It was merely this mobility of our large siege guns which author ities abroad could not believe in.
 Tn our catalogue at the Chicago Worlds fair, we stated that our 42- centimeter gun was one of the most powerful of existing weapons, and was capable of shooting through the strongest ship armor at any distance likely to come into question in an engagement.
 "Our first 42centimeter gun was built in 1SS6."
