Literary Note from The Century Company.
Ia the first instalment Of his story of
the "Merrimac'' in the December Cen
tnry, which is to be an usually attractive
number, Lieut.. Hobson lays no claim to
having originated the idea of blocking
the channel at Santiago. The sinking Of
the collier had been ordered by Admiral
Sampson, but the commanding officer of
Santiago had not executed the vancouver
when the flag ship arrived, and the work
ing out Of the plan, as well as its execu-
tion, was intrusted TO Lieut.. HobsOn.
The preliminary steps are detailed in this
number of the magazine. and in later
issues the story Df the sinking Of the ship
and the capture and imprisonment OF her
crew will be given at first hand. This is
the only account OF his exploit that Mr..
Hobson has written for publication.
Capt. Sigsbee spoils good story, but
replaces it with another equally good, in
denying, as he will in the December Cen
tury, that his orderly entered the cabin
ofthe "Maine" Immediately after the ex-
plOsion, made formal salute, and report
ed the destruction of the ship. Had he
done so, be would not have been seen TOR
the explosion extingnished ali lights, and
left the cabin as black as pocket. As a
matter Of fact, the orderly ran into his
commanding officer in a da.k passage
leading forward through the superstruct
ure, and reported that the ship had been
blown up aud was sinking. Capt Sigs-
bees story of the destruction of the ship
will lose nothing. it is understood, from
the simplicity OF his style, the incident
being too terrible to need reinforcement
from rhetoric.

Parents of children with crossed eyes
are generally of the opinion that an oper-
alton in cases OF young children is dan
gerous and by delaying the latter, spoil
a most important part of the operation,
namely, the chances Of recovering the
sight in the inflicted eye or eyes. A
crossed eye is excluded from the act IF
seeing and invariably becomes weaker.
Drs. Sigmann and Sadler. S04 Penn
avenae, Pittsbnrg, Pa, have operated on
crossed eyes in children under six years,
and the happy result of Master George
Aul, a six-year-old boy Of No. lis 7th
street. whose eyes were recently straight
eBed by DIR. Sigmann, is a new testimo-
NAL OF the great success OF these we'll
known specialists. People living in the
country should take advantage of the
cheap excursion rates for the Pittsburgh
Exposition to consult these eminent sur
geons in all ailments of Eye. Ear, Nose
and Throat
