WASHINGTON, d. C., April 6.-There
is no city in the country that has in 1t
so many men with military titles as
Washington. In most cases these titles
were won by distinguished service for
or against the government, but 1t Is
pretty hard to distinguish the political
colonel or the self-made major from tho
genuine article when they are in clti-
zen's dress, unless it may be that the
bogus military man is more apt to i'm
press the stranger with the fact that he
is known as Colonel this or Major that,
and the wives OF such men always use
the assumed title when speaking OF
their husbands. Mrs. Grant never
spoke of the general save as "Mr.
Grant," habit she keeps up to this
day. 1t must be confessed that the men
from the South delight more in exploit
ing their military rank, real or assumed,
than do the men OF the North, though
our fellow citizens from the wild and
woolly West run them a good second in
the race for this sort of distctioD.
At the headquarters OF :he army and
navy one sees more OF the disting uished
men OF both in Washington than in any
other city. They are always brilliantly
in evidence at the many receptions, and
they give color TO the more formal fes-

search warrant out to find commander
for the army OF the Potomac a mistake
would not have been made had he been
selected.
General Joseph Wheeler, member OF
congress from Alabama, Is physically a
small, nervous looking man, but there
his smallness ends. He was born In
Georgia. in 1886, and educated al West
Point When the war broke out he
went with his state, and rose TO be the
ablest cavalry leader OF the Confederacy
in the West. He is man OF fine intel
lect and has broadened very much In
his views. he is q great favorite with
his poitical opponents and with the
men against whom he fought so gal
lantly, and than this there could be no
better test OF his manhood.
General Matt Whitaker Ransom, son
stor since 1872, from North Carolina,
where he was born 10 1926, Is another
distinguished Confederate. lie was
trained for the bar. He was colonel OF
the ThIrty-nrst North Carolina, and
rose TO the rank OF major general. He
is a very handsome man, and unlike

Commodore Thomas oliver Selirldge,
who was on board the Cumberland
when the Merrimsc rammed her down,
is one of our prominent social figures.
He is still comparatively young man,
being born In Pennsylvania 10 1887 and
educated at Annapolis. General Dan
iel Henry Fucker, General Sheridan's
father-in-law. is one Of our picturesque
figures. He was born Ia 1912 aud APP
pointed 20 the army from civil life.
General Robert Williams was born 10
1929 in Virginia and educated AT West
Point. Although retired, he would be

the once beautiful and still charming

move out.
The Earps, understanding the miners
and the characteristics OF the people
they were dealing with, retired. When
they were out of sight, Clanton and his
wife came out of the mine and took
their departure in the direc-
ton Of Rico. The Earps, though max
ing q promise that they would not re-
turn, merely made circuit, and rode
around San Miguel, striking the Rico
road about ten miles from the former
place. They found fresh horse tracks
on the road and concluded that those
they were in pursuit OF were In front OF
them. They followed on with haste
and overlook Clanton and his wife at
Rico. The Earps reached town while
Clsnton and his wife were at supper.
When they discovered them they fred

Two years later Ike Clanton and Cur

accidentally in a gambling room at

was uninjured. Eight wears ago Clan

met Virgil and Wyatt carp. The mo-

killed, and Wyatt carp was SO badly
wounded that his career as fighter
ended then and there. Life In Tomb

as well as its tragedies.

in the Mexican war. and at the breaking
out of the civil war was appointed col
onel of she 12th infantry. Up to 1868
he was one of the most distinguished
officers ef the Army of the Potomac. In
the fall OF that year he was sent to
Louisiana, and it was his skill that
saved the Red River expedition from
disaster. He resigned from the army
in 1856, and was appointed to the man
agement of the Colts Arms Manufac-
turing Co., At Springfield, Mass, q po-
sition which he still occupies. He is
president Of the National Home for Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers, aud except
that his beard and hair are gray, no
one would take him to be more than
fifty years OF age.
Although not the most distinguished
OF our volunteer officers, Gen. Walter
Quinton Gresham to-day Is the second
man Of Importance in Washington, for
he is the head OF the State Depart
ment. Gen. Gresham was born in lndi-
ana in 1882, and educated as lawyer.
He entered the army as colonel OF the
3sth Indiana, rose by sheer ability to the

looking as II "just fixed to be photo
graphed," vet when there was fighting
to do the beau sabreur was
always on hand. He was born here In
Washington, in 1924, and educated at
West Point. and although as handsome
and careful OF his person as formerly,
his splendid animal spirits seem to have
departed. He has been retired for
several years.
So long as naval history interests
humanity, so long the story OF the ngnt
between the Monitor and Merrimac VIII
be recalled, and so long readers Will
thrill At mention or sight OF the name
OF Rear-Admiral John Lorrimer Wor-
den. He was born Ia Weschester
county, n. Y, in 1918, and was ap-
painted midshipman In '35. He has
never fully recovered his hearing since
the fight that made him famous and
saved our feet. He was retired in 1856,
and has lived here ever since. De Is
one OF the most delightful men socially,
though like all true heroes, ne Is oppos-
ed TO posing as one.
There is tall, erect figure that
always attracts attention on our streets
when the senate is In session. The
scar on his face and the bearing stamp
him at once as a soldier and leader OF
men. This is General John Brown
Gordon. senator from Georgia, He was
born in the state he represents so well
In 1882, and was educated for the bar.
At the beginning OF the Civil War he
went in as a colonel aud came out 81
Appomattox, lieutenant general and
second in command 10 Lee, whom he
loved and served so well. He has been
governor of Georgia, and was senator
before, but resigned because OF his
poverty. lie is a religious man, yet
this does prevent his being prominent
in the society OF the capital, where he
and his family are very popular.
We have with us General Eugene a.
Carr, who is great favorite, not only
with army men, but with all that have
the good fortune TO know him, and the
good taste TO appreciate courage, cui-
ture and generosity. General Carr was
born in Erie County, n. Y, in 1880,
and stood high at West Point Before
the rebellion, he distinguished himself
against the Apaches aud was severely
wounded. In 81 he took command OF
the 30th Illinois, and soon rose to be
brigadler general. He commanded q
division in Grants campaign, and led
the great assault against Vicksourg.
lie subsequently served beyond the
Mssissippi,an after the Civil War saw
much service against the Indians.
General George Washington Getty Is
a name well aud honorably known to
the survivors of the Army OF the Poto-
mac. he lives in Maryland not far
from the capital, where he is sometimes
seen, looking like sturdy well-to-do
farmer. He is seventy-six years OF age,
but he does not look IT. He was born
in Georgetown, ID. c., and educated at
West Point. lie served calamity with
Scott in Mexico, and although he was
too modest to assert himself, those who
knew his marked abilities believed at
a time when the authorities had a

tivities at the White House and the
annual balls Of the ambassadors. But the
American, unlike the German officer,
takes no delight In his uniform, and
only wears it when occasion requires.
Now, as during the war some OF the
most distinguished, or, perhaps, 1t
would be more accurate TO say, some Of
the ablest army officers are swallowed
I'D In the staff. In noting the famous
military men in Washington st this
time, one naturally turns 10 John Nc
Allister Schotield, the present COM
mander OF the army. General Schotield,
was born in Chautauqua, n. Y, Sep
TENDER 2s, 1881. He was educated at
West Point and had as classmates Slo-
cum, Sheridan, Mcpherson and Hood.
who subsequently became famous in
the Civil War. Schofeld was OF a
scientific turn, and was appointed pro-
lessor of natural philosophy at the
West Point Academy, which position
he occcubied st the breaking out Of the
war in 1861. His first service during
the contest was as chief OF staff to
General Lyon, who was killed at Spring
field, Mo. Subsequently Schofeld was
appointed as commander of brigade
and distinguished himself against Ster-
ling Price and other Southern leaders in
Missouri and Arkansas. In 1864 he was
appointed major general and assigned
to a eonmsnd OF division in the Army
of Ohio. He served withSherman dur
ing the Atlanta campaign and with
Thomas at Nashvilles in the series Of
battles that resulted in the destruction
of Hoods army. After the war General
Schofeld commanded the departments
OF the Pacific, OF the Missouri, and Of
the Atlantic, and on the death of Gen.
eral Sherman was placed at the head
OF the army. He will retire in 1895.
He married two years ago his second
wife, beautiful and accomplished wo-
man, who with himself, is great social
fayorite in Washington society.
Apart from General Scbofeld, whose
position st the head OF the army en-
titles him to first mention. shall not
attempt to name the distinguished mill
tary men one meets in Washington. in
the order of their importance. There
is frequently seen on our streets Gen.
William Buel franklin. still erect,
sturdy and forcible as he was when he
held the enemy in check al Malvern
Hill. General franklin was born at
York. Pa, in 1923, and educated at
West Point he distinguished himself
