Kansas iCty, Mo-, Sept. 29.-Colonel r.

and chief surgeon for the FRS, army
corps and of the United States troops in
Porto Rico, stirred up lively discussion
IN a paper on THE Organization of the
First army corps" Colonel Huidrkoper.
who had been criticised because of his
management of the army camps. took
occasion to defend himself and the volun-
teer surgeons and to attack Surgeon
General Sternberg and the regular army
surgeons for. the management Of the hos
pltals at Chickamauga. He told how pri-
VatN were transferred TO the hospital
corps as nurses. when themen report
ed" said he, II found that certain officers
had selected drunkards, epileptics and
other worthless men not wanted in the
army, to send to me-" He made COM
plants. but the complaints had, he de-
clared, been Digeonholed.
Colonel Huidekoper criticised the camp
work of the regular army surgeons.
while they were mostly officers Of
ability and reputation, there were among
them men who never, in last years war
learned to appreciate that an army corps
was larger than any one company post
in which they had been stationed in the
last decade or more, and who absolutely
failed TO realize the energy and action
required for the handling of new troops"
He spoke OF the difficulty of getting
medical supplies and said: THE COM
plete outfit of a brigade hospital as a
unit, and the supplies for three regi-
ments multiplied 1000 times. could have
been supplied by any contractor inside of
two weeks.
At the close Of Colonel Huidekoper's
paper Colonel Charles II. Alden, assis-
tant surgeon general, arose and said:
There are many new things in Colonel
Huidkoper's paper that l never heard of
before. I think he entirely misunder-
stands the surgeon general and his abil-
ity and devotion to duty. 1 think he
misconstrues entirely the surgeon gener-
ais position. That is all 1 have to say
at present
A lively discussion followed. 1t was
decided to print it in the proceedings OF

ITALIAN GRAND OPERA

The most important theatrical event of
the present season, and one of the best
things that has ever been in the house
since it was opened by the Gypsy Baron
Opera Company" is the coming of the
hambardi Italian Opera company Monday
and Tuesday next, when they play for the
benefit of the Wichita hospital. The sale
to subscribers opened yesterday morning
and today the general sale is on. Over 600
tickets were sold for the two nights, but
there are lots of good seats to be had yet
The following is from the New York ORA
matte Mirror correspondent in Denver and
appeared in the Issue of September 2S:
Denver is enjoying a season of italian
Grand Opera, furnished by the Lambardi
italian Grand Opera company, from MI
Ian. via Brazil, Mexico and California.
and the season is proving one of the most
delightful events of the kind chronicled
in years. This company, composed OF
sixty-eight members and with repertoire
of forty-one operas. quietly and unosten-
tauously came to the Broadway August
%. The company was unknown, the
weather warm. lots of people out of town
and the regular season not yet opened:
hence the business the first week was
small. But the press was unanimously
enthusiastic in its praise, and those pjeo-
pie who attended once went again. This
week business has been much better, and
everything now points to the season be-
ing as popular and successful financially
as il IS artistically. The Lambardi com
pany Is composed OF singers who under
stand music and who interpret il beautf-
fully, and therein lies its chief charm.
Amelia Sostegni, with voice as pure and
natural as that of a bird ;Estefania Col
lamarinf. whose Carmen created great
sensation: Liza Pallettini, Signor Russo,
Bugamelli and Bergami have become ire
mendous favorites. The prices prevailing
are, box seats SEQ; parquet. $50, to gal
lery. 80 cents. We have heard opera here
at two or three times these prices which
was no better than the efficient work Of
the present company."-F. E. Carstar-
phen.
The two operas chosen for presentation
here are Carmen on Monday, and Rig
oletto on Tuesday.

GOAT so FEET HIGH
Modern WoOdmen Will Get HIM Here
for Civic Parade.

The parade of the Modern Woodmen Of
America will be probably the biggest at
traction in the civic parade for Street Fair
week. James Tapp, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of both the Modern
Woodmen and Royal Neighbors, says they
have decided to have 1000 uniformed
Woodmen on foot in line. They have or
dered a goat 60 feet tall with beautiful
auburn whiskers and capable of cutting
all the antics common to lodge room goat
ology. Besides the goat, the Woodmen
will have two or three bands and eight
or ten magnificent floats, and with their
axes shouldered, the log will be kept roll
ing during the entire procession. Every
Woodman in Oklahoma and Kansas will
be extended an invitation through the Off
cial paper, to join in the frOlic and they
viii be here in large numbers. So far,
every lodge in Sedgwick county thas sig
nified it's intention of being here in body.
If all the other secret societies do as well
as the Woodmen the city will not hold

get in line the night of the civic parade.
