The truth of nobIesse oblige is we'll
shown by the incident related by John F.
Bass in his Manila letter in HARPER'S
WEEKLY for Sept. 10. He was at Gen.
AndersOn's headquarters when man,
who but a short time ago had been the
captain Of one of the Spanish men-Of-war
which lie at the bottom Of Cayite harbor,
but who was now rather shabbily dressed
came in sand said:
'Senor, borrowed, some time ago, two
hundred dollars from Admiral Dewey, to
pay off my men. have come to repay
the debt"
He turned his profile, and they noticed
how thin he looked. He must have
starved himself to collect the money.
With very straight back, he counted out
the Spanish bills and turned to 60.
"Will you not take receipt" asked
tbs aide of General Anderson.
mot from an officer" answered the
gray-haired old gentleman, with court
ly, old-fashioned bow.

Some one might assume from the gos-
sip now current IN the press that our
soldiers just returning from the war are
not proud Of the victories they have
gained and Of the hardships endured.
We venture the statement that when the
troops are once at home again it will be
found on investigation that each sold
ier who went to the front, full Of enthus-
iasm for his country, has returned with
the same spirit of patriotism and resOlu-
tiOn which inspired him at his enlist
ment; and that, Notwithstanding the
hardships that many Of them have been
called upon to endure and the privations
that many Of them have suffered, each
and all will say that they are proud to be
numbered among the defenders Of our
country; and that, instead Of fault-hnd-
ing because of the hardships and in
conveniOnces incident to the war, they
have no apologies to make or explana-
tiOns to offer for anything that they have
been compelled to undergo. Let the
spirit of the soldiers inspire those who
have remained at home and who have
turned critic, to say better things of
their comrads who have so nobly done
their part in Che war just closed.

The moment any one firing one OF the
small guns secures the range, 1t is tel
egraphed or telephoned to every gun on
the ship, and with the magnificent mach
inery for firing the large guns. 1t Is on
ly few seconds when every weapon OF
different sizes on board the ship which
can be aimed at the object is sending
shot and shell Of all descriptions straight
at the mark, with the consequent result
that it is practically impossible for the
gunners on the enemy's ship to stay at
their guns.
As a result, our ships were seldom hit.
Nevertheless. when they were once struck
the frightful execution done by these
shots shows what might have happened
to our fine battle-ships IL the good Am
erican behind the gun had not known
and done his work so we'll.
The illustrations we reproduce from
Harper's Weekly show the damage
done by Spanish shell which struck
the Iowa above the water-line and, after
passing through the side Of the vessel,
crashed into the forward turret. Pict-
ure No. was taken from the inside Of
the Iowa looking out, and No. 2 shows
the hole made in the turret.

Mr.. Israel Zangwill, the author Of
"Dreamers of the Ghetto" and other
works, has come to this country and 1t is
understood that his purpose is to lecture
here. Persons who come here from Great
Britain with that intention may, accord
ing to E. S. Martin in HARPER'S WEEK
LY, be divided into those having edifying
information to impart and those who
have long hair. Mr.. Zangwill's hair is
worn comparatively short. He does not
rank yet as great author, but he is
known as a good and substantial story
teller, and the owner Of a mind whose
operations are Of considerable interest.

One Of the most interesting things in
connection with the naval battles OF this
war. and one Of the things that has
caused the most comment here and In
Europe. is thefact Of thesuperiOr marks
manShip Of the American sailor, which
has been typified in the saying, "The
Man Behind the Gun."
1t is interesting to hear from COM
manders and officers in command Of
guns on our different ships the reason
for this. The method on our ships when
approaching the enemy is to fire small
calihre gun, and, as with the use of tele-
scopes, the direction can always be OBJ
tained at once, the only difficulty is to
find the elevation. This is obtained by
first firing short Of the object, and then,
as the shot strikes the water, gradually
raising the gun until the enemy is
struck. With the small calibre rapid
fire gun, this is matter of only two or
three shots, and the range is obtained
in less than minute.

Two Of the leading newspapers Of the
United States, both Democratic in pol
itics, namely, the New York Herald and
the New York Sun, are having lively
tilt with the question Of scandals in the
war departments management Of the
army. A few days ago the New York
Herald printed heart-rending stOry,cOn-
corning one Delwin Bell. one of ROOse-
velt's Rough Riders. The details Of his
martyrdom and neglect, all ascribed to
the incapacity Of army officials, was a
story full Of heart-rending details that
one might not wish to read it. They
were careful to bring in the camp, with
its pest-hOles and the hospital-ships
with its horrors, together with all the
general infamy possible to be heaped on
the heads of men who happen to be Off
cials in public places.
The New York Sun Of September Z
contains reply to the scandalOus story
of the Herald in the form Of a statement
from Mrs. Bell, the mother Of the unfor-
tunate young man referred to in the Her
aid. She says this sensational story
about her son has done a grievOus wrong
to both mother and son. There Is
scarcely word Of truth in it, from be-
gining to end" Mrs. Bell went to Mon
tauk Point to meet her son, who was
supposed to be among the first of those
who would arrive at that place. The
facts are that the young man was i'll and
was left in the hospital at Sibony. He
had recovered sufficiently, however, to
reach MOntauk few days ago, when he
was met by his mother. She says that
he had so much improved as to be able
to travel, that his mind was clear, and
that he was on fair road to recovery.
This is another refutatiOn of an infa-
nous attempt on the part Of leading
democratic papers to stir up strife in the
country and poison the public mind
against the management Of affairs in
the war department with the single
purpose Of injuring the Republican par
ty in the coming campaign.
1t is a source of pleasure to the man
ayers Of the republican campaign that
they need not appeal to the Republican
press for a defense Of these vile charges.
So good a Democratic paper as the New
York Sun will be believed when great
questions are in controversy.

The advantage derived by foreign auth
prs from the international copyright laws
in the United States is we'll shown by an
English author who contributes his "Ex-
periences Of American Copyright" to this
weeks LITERATURE. His books, both
DefOre and after the passage of the laws,
lave been published in England and the
United States. For two that were pub
ished before the law went into effect, he
received from the American sales only
little more than two per cent. Of the sum
his English publishers paid him; but for
GwO that were published after the law
was passed, he has received just as much

Of the Netherlands, who died Nov. 90,
1890, and Emma, princess Of Waldeck
and Prymont.
In appearance, according to Edith
Lawrence, who describes the installation
in HARPER'S BAZAAR for Sept. 10, the
young queen is most pleasing. She has
fair-a light brOwn-blue eyes, and a
sweet, laughing expression. She is
neither tall, nor slender, as has been said
but is petite, with well-rounded shape
ly figure, Her complexion is beautiful.
She loves to be well-dressed, although up

may she be queen or peasant maid.

The Young Queen of the Netherlands.

On Aug. 81, 1898, young girl in HOl-
land celebrated her eighteenth birthday.
Six days later, in royal robes, seated on
a throne erected in the ''Nieuwe Kerk,"
in Amsterdam, she took the oath which
made her queen of the Netherlands. Not
since the coronation Of Queen Victoria Of
England, sixty lyears ago, has young
girl come to a throne; and as Victoria
was, so Wilhelmin is; charming, brill
liant, and thoroughly feminine woman
with great possibilities in prospect, al
though her kingdom is 80 much smaller.
Her full name Is Wilhelmina Helena
Paulina Maria. The hereditary name,
Wilhelmina, was given her as she comes
Of long line Of Williams, or Wilhelms,
in direct descent from William Of Nassau.
She is the daughter Of William III, king

Edith Lawrence, who describes the in
stallation of the Queen Of Holland for
aARPER'S BAZAAR, relates an interesting
TACT about the Indian princes who were
ihere. 1t seems that it is beneath the
,iignity Of an Indian prince to sleep, or
in fact, to be at any time under one of
lower rank. In Amsterdam, the hotel
1rOprietOrs were much put out on learn
ing that the top Of the house was the
part which the Indian princes insisted
Ipon lodging in, and that all the gOr-
yeous decorations and furnishings of the
tOwer floors were useless from an Oriental
Joint Of piew. The princes Of higher
;ank would never occupy an apart
nent under one of lower.

lr. Greenleaf states in this article that
he peculiar horrors and sufferings
-Vhich the regimental system brought to
he army in the first two years of the
ivil war have had their effect in the
management Of the hospital work in the
resent war. He also says: "While at

vent on board the transports and found
hem under the able administration Of
Chief Surgeon Pope.
In addition to the field organization
We have fully equipped under the spec

provided with large quantities of
ledical and surgical supplies Of all
lhds and has all the necessary modern
ppliances for the comfort of the sick,
Lch as ice machines, water cOndensers,

blows: So that our people may be well
.ssured that Surgeon General Sternberg
aas provided everything needful to Sc
