SANTIAGO AND SEBASToPoL.
Some Points of Similarity in Two
Historic Sieges.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Forty-four years ago come next Oc-
tober the allied British and French
armies sat DOWN before Sebastopol TO
besege it. That memorable siege
lasted for II months, when the Rus
slams destroyed their fleet, retreated
their army and gave up the place.
This was the virtual end of the Grim
can war, and within a few months
peace was declared.
We move faster in these davs. In
stead OF IL months we have but little
more than an IL days siege of Santa
go, in which short space a fleet is de-
stroyed and an army captured. His
tory records few military movements
of greater celerity.
1t has been several times pointed out
by the military quidnuncs that Santi-
ago was of no strategcal Importance,
and that its capture involved nothing
but itself. This is true enough, and il
is true still Of Sebastopol. When that
fortified town was taken the allies
were as far away as ever from the
heart of Russia, but the moral effect
of that victory was tremendous. 1t
awakened the other powers of Europe
to tender their good Offices between
the contending nations, and it was on
the representations of Austria that the
negotiations were entered upon that
finally led to peace.
The capture of Santiago does not
give us Cuba, as the fall of Havana
might, but it stuns Spain and adds i'm
mensely to the commanding position OF
the American army and navy.

IN INTEREST OF SOLDIERS.
A Philadelphia Delegation Calls on
President Mckinley.

Washington, Aug. 5.-A large Phila-
delphia delegation from the National
Relief commission accompanied by
Postmaster General Emory Smith, call
ed on President Mckinley today and
talked over the conditions of the camp
life of our soldiers.
The delegation was headed by Joshua
l.. Baily and included Ex-Governor Pat
tison, Rev. A. j. Kynett, Francis b.
Reeves and DR.. o. S. Shakespeare. A
plea was made to avoid the unhealth-
full conditions heretofore encountered.
The delegation asked that in the Sc
lection of any new location for camps
here or at the front that the consider
alton be given the unfortunate eXpe-
riences at Camp Alger and other points.
They took occasion to commend the
hospital at Old Point Comfort, Va, as
model institution and urged that hos
pital conditions generally be improved
They called attention to the sad eXpe-
rience at Santiago and without speci-
fically making a recommendation either
way spoke of the desirability of hav-
ing the soldiers kept on higher grounds.
The president took part in the discus
sion and showed considerable interest
in their presentation of what they call.

tacking you Lady Davy? l waste my
whole time in defending you" For a
combination of malice and wit, the COL
lected works of Voltaire might be ram
sacked for a parallel. And whatever
we may think Of Rogers for saying it.
we cannot deny that the lady brought
it on herself She should have let the
hedgehog alone. When Nine. de Main
tenon, after her marriage with Louis
XIV, was bewailing her anxieties and
wishing she was dead, her brother re-
marked, "Vous avez, done la parole
d'epouser Dieu le Pere." This is per-
haps best left in the original French.
But it's humor is quite equal to it's au-
dacity. What was the name of the
Judge who proved himself equal, and
more than equal, to Dumas? Every
one knows the story. Dumas was a
witness in a trial held at Rouen. Your
profession, NJ. Dumas?" "If | We're
not in the birthplace of Corneilie, |
should call myself a playwright"
"Mais IL y des degrees, NJ Dumas"
came in honeyed accents from the
bench. There are playrights and play
wrights," as we should say. More
delicate irony il would be hard to i'm
agine. The ostensible object of the re-
mark is to help the witness out of
difficulty which his own modesty has
caused. Its actual effect is to present
him as a conceited coXcomb who
thought that by calling himself a dra-
matist he would be putting himself on
n level with Corneille. When Braban-
ito says to Iago. You are william"
Iago replies, you area senator"
This is cruder form of irony, but
a most deadly one. The late Lord
Granville, whose wit was so unostenta-
tious that it was scarcely appreciated

advancing years consulted Lord Gran
Vile on the sort of present he could
give to a wealthy heiress on her mar
riage. II want something rare, but
not expensive" he said. "A lock of
your hair" suggested Lord Granville
urbanely. But all repartees suffer by
being removed from their proper places
and put into collection. They should
arise naturally out of the situation and
reflect the mood of the moment. Some
of the best may not have been really
delivered They may be the wit of the
staircase, concocted after the event.
But so long as they are dramatically
rendered, and not huddled together
without rhyme or reason, they retain
their original flavor and survive the
circumstances which gave them birth.
