June 25. To the Editor of The Call: I am heartily in favor of erecting a suit able monument to Admiral Dewey and in doing something to commem orate his wonderful achievements in the harbor of Manila, California contains a large number of wealthy and influential citizens who should and doubtless will esteem it both a pleasure and an honor to contribute to such a cause. Such monuments should ba encouraged. They lead to-^he advancement and beautifying of the Stnte, while back of it all is the idea that has been popular ever since the world began — that of suitably honoring the public servant who has added to the honor and dignity of his native land. I shall de=m it an honor to assist the project in every way, and now have Mayor Phelan's communication under consideration. JAMES S. SWEET, Mayor. "THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY " AT THE GRAND i The stage manager at the Grand Opera ..oi)«>> possesses in perfection the rhythmic sense and spares no pains to : w:ork his Ideal Into his reputation. Did '.ihf-v managers accept him as a mentor they might earn the right to live In our . st.eem, and in the words of Plato "niipht die with the faier hope." Plan quette's merry opera, "The Chimes of Normandy," is full of old friends grappled to the soul of the comic opera composer this many a day and thrice dear to us for their very familiarity. The vil lage maiden of obscure parentage in search of a family and always found in flimsy ambush in the nick of time to over hearrwhat villains and heroes would fain conceal and to that end talk in the open at the top of their voices. Or if not In fl'iihsy ambush perfectly disguised from her oldest friends behind the meshe3 or a thin tulle veil. „ _„ "Consistency, thou art a jewel. inc. robust and florid Baelll, a ci-devant nt only for sour celibacy, yet madly in lov-i with Mademoiselle, a blushing bud of seventeen summers, he linds his ralson d'etre as a mouthpiece for the topical 'pong, and with his horse play keeps the unlettered in a roar. They think he is funny, and we are under no obligations to convince them of the contrary. Besides, perhaps he Is. "We have only as much of" the world as we can appreciate. The cruel guardian who would marry beaut} to' a money chest and break the heart of a-.tlshermanlover. who sings his tenor soi-rows in every disengaged ear-ami dots nothing else. The village Popula tion that makes a profession of attending fairs by day and balls by night and has no explained means of support beyond the faiOi that God will provide. They all ring musically in the "Chime*." bo ably sung by the Southwell company, with its clever principals and wcS drilled choruses. The stage pictured are beautiful, the figures except a few, moving in perfect time and grace. Those ™w must inevitably find places In the back row. for lack of time argues a men tal infirmity. You can trace it from the tols tip Thomas H. Persse sings the role of Henri to well merited applause, . but with a method calculated to break early 1 , rood voice. He carries his middle reg kter too high and holds his best notes not at the option of good taste but to the limit of breath and sometimes beyond It. The audience approves, but no singer owes the public bo much effort. If it were \Vil liam Wolff who did this we should say "Go on and lose your voice as fast as possible, for we need you to play the -Old Musicians" and .."Dunston Kirks' and "Colonel Prestons" of the future. His Jaspard was a cameo Edith Mason, hough lacking in magnetism, makes S*r polette a most ingenuous hoyden. Miss Hattio Belie Ladd is a charming Ger mane and in a Jessie Bartlett Davis qual tvof! voice sings herself quite Into our affections! I wonder what subtle poison lurks for her In the folds of a white gown? Her charm perceptibly lessens as soon as she dons one. Even her voice seems *The enoruses and sextets In the second art are the gems of the opera, and abovo the beautiful harmonies the strong, sjm pfHhftio tenor notes of Mlro Delamotta rose and foil with infinite sweetness. H ■» voice will last, for it is well posed and hl3 method good. The shivering trio was more than well don* 1 , despite the fact that the Illusion was destroyed by a stage much too light for groping purposes. llw enterprise of the Grand Opera-house man agement deserves recognition and ap plause. They promise on Monday a splen did production of the "Lily of Klllarney." CHARLOTTE . THOMPSON. SOLDIER, LAID TO BEST Interment of Captain Cressey's Re- mnifrs in the National Cemetery.

GREENLEAF TALKS OF THE WAR A good-sized audience filled the First Presbyterian Church last night to hear Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, medical In spector of the United States army, speak of his experiences In Cuba and Porto Rico. Colonel Greenleaf, who is here to take charge of the sanitary affairs of the troops returning- from Manila, was the medical inspector of the Eastern camps, where the soldiers were quartered after having served in the tropics. He had under his direct supervision at Savannah 13.000 and at Harrisburg 6000 returned soldiers. The colonel said that during the war one thought had often occurred to him, and that was that the people at home had little conception of the suffering and misery that was incident to war. He con tinued: "The first six months or year of a wnr are very productive of sickness. It takes about that time to teach a soldier how to keep his person and surroundings clean. The prime duty of the medical staff is to gauge the percentage of sick ness among the soldiers for the first half year. We count on about 15 per cent of sick men to S per cent of those Injured in battle. The Red Cross societies of Europe an' organized under more favorable con ditions than ours. They have the advan tages of centralization and systematic distribution. The necessity of these two things in this work is one of the lessons of the war." The speaker described the condition of the troops when he reached Siboney in a very graphic manner. He said: "it was impossible to keep the men from exposing themselves. They seemed entirely de void of caution and could not be kept from the infected houses. One incident touched me deeply," eald he. "The hos pital at Siboney was crowded. Every nurse and attendant had come clown with the contagion. At my request a captain of the Twenty-fourth (colored) called for volunteers from his company to act as nurses. The company stepped forward as one man." After describing some interesting inci dents of the Porto Hican campaign, the colonel told of the scenes and conditions in Cuba. He said that Senator Proctor's letter before the war does not begin to express the suffering. He saw more suf fering, more dreadful misery in tftat island than in all the rest of his lifetime put together. Officers Elected. Following are the. officers chosen by Cathedral Council, Y.
