UNDERTAKES
JUDGE" OR "GENERAL.-
The Proper Title to Give the Late
Judge AINocate General Holt.

Judge Advocate General Holt.
Regardless of the fact that he never sat
on the bench, the late Josiah Holt will un-
doubtedly be known to fame as Judge Holt
rather than as General Holt, which some
persons contend is his only proper title"
said War Department official, referring to
communication that lately appeared in
The Star from writer who insisted that
the proper title in this case is general. In
most of the recognized biographical au-
thorities he is invariably referred TO as
Judge Holt. This is especially the case
with Appleton's CycIoredia of American
Biographies. In that standard work he is
classed as jurist, and is referred to as
Judge Holt, and never as General Holt.
His fame rests mainly on his legal achieve
ments, rather than upon his purely mill
tary services. and, indeed. the latter were
almost entirely of legal, If not judicial,
character. He was educated as a LAWYER
and gained distinction as such in his civil
as well as in his more celebrated military
career. Moreover, he is popularly known as
JUDGE Holt IN military circles, well as
outside. The title of judge is by no means
confined to persons who have actually sat
on the bench. Most of the Oldest and ablest
lawyers liz this country are dignified by
that title, despite the fact that they have
never actually performed judicial func-
tions and the Use of the title has never
been criticised in their cases. In his dis
tinguished career Judge Holt held manv
positions of trust and honor He was sue
cessi,ely commonwealth attorney for the
district of Louisville. commissioner of
patents Ia strictly judicial office) commis-
sioner TO adJudicate certain military claims
postmaster General, Secretary of War and.
lastly, he was placed at the head of the
bureau of military Justice, with the title of
Judge advocate general of the army and
the rank Of brigader general. Subseuuent-
ly III March, G5, he was Sbrevetted major
general of the army for faithful, meritori-
Gus and distinguished services in the bureau
OF military justice during the war; Thus.
while 1t is true that he could properly he
referred to as General Holt 1t is also a
tact that he was more universally known
and addressed by the title of Judge
AS already stated, there is good ground
Tor the use of the latter term, because of
his eminent legal services and because also
OF his holding the office of judge advocate
general. His SUCCESSORS in that office while
bearing the military title of general are
almost as properly addressed as Judge. al
though in their case the use of this purely
civil title Is scarcely as appropriate as ii
was in the case of Judge Holt because of
the vast difference in antecedent condi-
tions."
An inquiry by Star reporter on this
point disclosed the fact that even among
military men the subject of this discussion
is referred to Judge Holt ten times
where he is referred to once as General
Holt.

In Behalf Of the Untitled.

'One of the Untitled" writing to The
Star on this question, says:
Il notice that H. X. objects to Mr., Holt
leing designated judge Inasmuch as
he was Judge advocate general, 1 do not see
the impropriety of calling him judge, even
though, speaking in a strictly military
sense, he may have been ranked as a gem
eral.''
This writer, in arguing in favor of the
title OF judge, says: Besides, was he not
from Kentucky? And who ever heard of a
kentuckian who was not either a colonel a
major or judge? And, as he was neither
colonel or a major therefore he mus.
have been judge. See? If II. X wanted
TO he particular as to the miSapplica ton of
the term judge, he should have objected
when that term was applied TO the late Mr.
Vaudeville, whose name was mentioned in
connection with Cullen and the Holt will.
1t made good many who knew him smile
when they saw him described in the news
paper as Judge Vaudeville. He had some
peculiar traits of character, but never in
his widest dreams did he aspire TO such
posthumous fame. Besides, / object 10 H.
ks iconoclastic objections, for, if his ideas
are carried out. what will become of the
vast army of titled men in Washington
the majors, the colonies, the Judges and
generals-who fill the hotels and adorn the
street corners of the national capital? I
object on personal grounds, too for here
tofore / have pr:ded myself on being a
member of the very select and limited class
of citizens who are not loaded down with a
fictitious title. But IL his idea is carried
out this class will be SO enlarged as to in
cludc the great mass of citizens, and what
then, will become Of distinction?
Where will our four hundred be then? We,
the select few, will then be lost in the mass
OF common citizens, stripped of our distinc-
ton, and reduced to the level of the COM
mon herd. Forbear, oh, II. X, forbear!
For our sake, forbearr'

tendant first discovere~ the fire bursting
from Rolff's room, and found the unfortu-
nate man in one of the billiard-rooms
nearly suffocated.
The Preside fire department quickly re-
sponded to the alarm given by the sentry
and did quick and efficient work in pre-
venting the fire from spreading.
The interior, including the rooms in the
north end and middle of the building, was
com pletely destroyed, though Lieutenant
Davis saved his accounts and the money
in the safe.
The stock of edlbles and liquids was
saved. The damage on furniture amounted
to about $500 and was fully insured. The
building was considered of no value and
the front portion now standing will be
torn down.
The ''old canteen," as the place was
known by the soldiers, was built soon after
the Mexican war and was occupied by
Colonel Stevenson in the early fifties.
Later Joe Barreta, who, as boy, worked
for Colonel Stevenson, became post trader.
He built additions and did big business.
Barreta was succeeded by the Government
under the law of 1889 which established
post exchanges and did away with the
business of suttlers and traders who made
fortunes in selling light drinks and lunch
cons to the soldiers. "Old" Joe Barreta
made big money in that building, but his
fortune has long ago passed down the line
and he is to-day in very moderate circum-
stances. The "canteen" will be re-estab-
Iished in temporary quarters until new
building shall be erected.
