lege was formerly restricted TO tea in

The London World says: Far
the most interesting appointment is Mr.

popular, for, added to her beauty and
charm. she is very clever and agreea-
BILE. and has a most delightful manner.
She was, as you know, very rich and
her father gave her a very considerable
dot. There was a ridiculous story at
the time of the marriage that Mr.. Letter

ed at Mr.. Curzon not being made a cabi-

her as much money as was expected, but

appointment, and it is to be hoped that
the muscular rheumatism from which he
has suffered so much lately will disap-
pear with the change of work and cli-
mate, for he is always well when out of

ceremony, which might well stand as a
model In simplicity. dignity, and solem-
nifty for all great state functions. The
impressiveness of 1t all came solely from
the personality of the maiden who was
Its central figure.
Yesterday she was a delighted girl,
who enjoyed to the utmost her first taste
of the sweets of power. She was unaf-
fectedly glad that she was a queen. To-
day she was woman who already felt
the weight of responsibility. The tone
of her voice showed that she appreciated
the burdens as well as the privileges of
her station.
She Was Beautiful Yesterday.
Never before today, perhaps, has
Queen Wilhelmina been beautiful wo-
man. but as she stood before the throne
with uplifted hand. repeating In solemn
fervent tones the words of. her oath of
conservation to the Dutch people, she
made a figure that was not only beau
tiful but noble, even imposing.
Later in the day the queen spent two
hours in driving about the city, view
ing the decorations In the evening she
took another drive to see the illumna-
tions, which were elaborate and artis-
tic, even more so than this generation
has seen IN all Europe.
All the streets were closely festooned
for their length and breadth with hang
ing lights. Some of the buildings bore
light for each brick in their walls
The effect was like that witnessed by
Moses in the burning bush which burned
and yet was not consumed
The principal canals had lines of poles
in the center on which were suspended
double festoons of lights. All the boats
were Illuminated.
But it is useless to attempt to describe
the chief city of Holland as arranged
in honor of the young queen. 1t was
a credit to the loyalty and artistic taste
of the people of the richest city of its
size in the world.

TIE FALL OF SANTIAGO.

lying contentedly in camp here, the Dis
trict troops are collaborating a history
of the Cuban campaign, one to suit them
selves, and they have got as far as the
last chapter on the fall of Santiago
which relates tale of thrilling excite
ment.
While the First Regiment District of

der of Santiago, Company CEmmet
Guards), better known as the Irish
Dragons" were detailed as the guard
over the corraled Spanish prisoners, and
as guards these volunteers We're outside
the camp line and subject TO special priv
ileges.
Now il was hot and dry, and these are
horrors to such sturdy warriors as the
Irish Dragons, and as fate would
grant it, some voice carried the news to
them that Santiago was a city flowing
with milk and honey in the shape of ales,
wines, liquors, and cigars.
So il came that these warriors eyed
Santiago with longing eye. and one hot
afternoon some of them got together and
planned an attack on the city. The board
of strategy decided upon an immediate
move, so the army of invasion was en-
listed and consisted of Major General
