Lieut.. Gen. Schofeld, just retired from
the army, his age limit having been
reached, is practically the sole survivor
on the present active list Of the band Of
war heroes who really saw service in
the historic engagements of the civil
war Preparations are being made
in the War Department and through

came back with the young wife, both of

The Value of Rank.

The extreme cheapness Of military
titles, a few years after the war, is
we'll illustrated by d story that was told
at recent campfire. The narrator said
that in the year 1870 he was travelling
through certain populous country dis
trict, and stopped to converse with a
farmer who had a considerable num-
Der Of men at work in his hay fields.
''Most Of these men are old soldiers"
said the farmer.
Indeed! Are any Of them officers?''
''Two of 'em. One Of 'em there was
a private, and that fellow beyond was
a corporal but the man beyond him
was a major, and that man away over
in the corner was a colonel.
Indeed! Are they good men?'
'Well," said the farmer, chat pri-
Yates a frst-class man, and the cor
poral's pretty good, too"
''But how about the major and the
colonel?"
''The majors $685." said the farmer.
''But the colonel?'

that what we call cold is really due
to these invisible pests. When one en-

bacteria in it flock to the warm body

WASHINGTON STRING ORCHESTRA.
Its First Concert This Season m En-
jOynble Affair.

It's FIRST concert This Season IN En-
jOyable Affair.
The first concert this season by the
Washington String Orchestra took place
Saturday evening at Metzerott Music Hall.
The attendance was quite good and there
was liberal applause after each number.
This orchestra was organized by Mr.. Ern-
est Lent last year, and gave one concert at
the .Universalist Church late in the spring,
which showed that good progress had been
made. This season Mr. Lent has largely
Increased his force SO that it now numbers
over sixty. and the members play with
more precision and expression. In the first
and last numbers on the program the or
chestra was assisted by pianos which gave
body to the performance of Beethoven's
''MaTsch urd Choir and Schuberts Hun
garian March," In the latter the orchestra
did of its best work. although in
every selection it showed the result OF care
full training, and in Schubert's Musical
Moment and Griegs Spring there
was some really artistic work. Other num-
hers by the orchestra were Gluck's "Nie',-
netto Pasturale," Jean Vogt's "Nacht,
Fuchs "Menuet" and Griegs Heart
Wounds There were three violin solos,
ore by Mr.. VIM. Hoicomb, who played De
Beriots Air Varie No. s." Fitzhugh Colds
Mr.. Lent-"Albumblatt' and "Gavotte and
Miasette''-hoth of which he executed very
well, and Miss Louise Carson, who really
surprised her audience by the excellence of
her work in Bohms "Sarabande and Ma
Zurka.' There was but ore vocalist. Mss
Mary Helen Howe, who gave for her first
number the brilliant and difficult aria Ah
Tors 'uf' from ''Traviata- manner
that won an emphatic recall She also sang
Ma az us "Presh era frd 2 ZZ!'s Ave
Maria" with violin ohlfgato by Mr.. J.

DETHRONING THE SULTAN.
E1-Minister White Speaks Of the Re.
suit of Summary Action.

E1-Minister White Speaks of the Re-
suit of summary Action.
In an interview Andrew D. White, ex min
lister tc Russia, said at Rochester yesterday,
when asked his opinion on the Turkish-Ar-
menian question:
There is a widespread demand In America
arising from the reports Of the Armenian
outrages that the sultan be summarily de-
posed by the powers. To do this, without
taking preliminary precautions. would be to
invite the most terrible massacre of the
nineteenth century. Unless prevented, the
sultan would escape into Asia-Minor The
massacres reported from Armenia are slight
compared with the butchery that would fol-
low. Scarcely a Christian in the confines
of Mohammedism could escape. The slaugh-
tiers would be we'll nigh universal. The
Turks never had a genius for civilization,
but they are. when inspired by the fanati-
cism of religion, among the bravest fighters
in the world.
This is my plan for the solution of the
question: Let the powers depose the sultan
and place on the throne some able man con-
nected with the royal family of Russia. Then
let united Europe guarantee absolutely the
independence of such government from out
side interference. Fortunately there are two
men in Europe today who would suit the
emergency. Primarily my choice would be
the Grand Duke Alexander. who married the
sister of the present car Alexander visited
the worlds fair at Chicago, and is a man of
ability and liberal ideas. The other avail
able candidate for the Turkish throne Is
King George of Greece. who is an uncle Of
the Russian car.
II believe, too" continued Mr.. White
that the European nations should be given
some share of the spoils of the east in order
to maintain the stability of Turkish gov
eminent, such as suggested, to protect the
boundaries of the new empire and to pre-
serve peace and order. Let Russia, for in
stance, have full swing in Armenia. Give
Egypt to England, Austria should be allowed
Salonica for a Mediterranean seaport and
Italy might in return be given Trieste on the
Adria tic hy Austria
