The Gray-Haired Veterans.

The boys in blue! How proud we were
When first they marched away;
How proud We are, mid scenes more fair
To welcome them today,
They're still the boys with earnest hearts
That years can never chill;
Boys ready still to do their parts
And do them with will
Yet Time, with Transformation strange,
Has touched them in his flight,
The hair once brown begins to change
To venerable white
And so. Fate's irony anew
Asserts a gentle sway;
Since they who were the boys in blue
Are now the boys in gray

MI Is CALLED HONE
Popular Minister Wanted in
China for Other Work.
REGRETS HIS DEPARTURE
Will Leave His Son Here for
an American Education.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Wu Ting Fang,
who has been minister of the Chinese
empire to the United States since May l.
1897, has been recalled to China by an
edict of the emperor cabled to Minister
WI today by the Chinese foreign office.
The edict is premptory. Mr.. WI being
directed TO return to China at as early a
date as possible, even the route by
which he is TO make his voyage from this
country being indicated. The edict in
formed Mr.. WI that he had been ap-
pointed minister of commerce in associa-
ton with Ching Chi Tung. He takes the
position just vacated by Sheng. whose
father died recently. Under a peculiar
provision of Chinese law, when an Office
holder loses by death his father or
mother vacates his Office and is not elgi-
he 10 hold Office again for three years,
although by custom the period of his
official mourning is reduced TO twenty
seven months. Mr.. WI said today that
ne might be able to leave this country
in about three weeks, but the precise
date of his departure has not been de-
termined. Mr.. WI also received a cable
gram announcing that he had been APP
pointed one of the two members of a COM
mission to negotiate commercial treaties
with foreign powers He VIII be at the
head Of this commission, and viii have
associated with him Mr.. Lu, who until
about q year ago, was the Chinese min
lister to Germany. AS Mr. WI has been
instructed to proceed directly to Shang
Hal. it is probable that the headquarters
of the commission viii be in that city.
Mr.. WI will be accompanied to China by
Madam WI and some members of his
personal suite, but he said today that
whether he would leave his Young son in
this country had not yet been determined.
He desires that his son should have a
good American education. and he may
conclude to leave him in the United
States, at least for a time. Minister WI
expressed great regret at his sudden call
from this country, although he is not
unappreciative of the honor done him by
his government. He said today that the
American people had been most kind 10
him and he should carry away with him
the pleasant memories of his sojourn in
the United States He always had en-
deayored. he said, to promote cordial re-
lstiops ebtween this country and China,
and that effort would be continued when
he returned to live among his own peo-
pie
In official and diplomatic circles the
news of the early departure of Mr.. WI
was received with sincere regret. For
years ne has been one of the most popu-
lar members of the diplomatic corps. Mr..
WI expects 10 leave the legation in
charge of the first secretary, Mr. Shen
Eung. No advices have been received as
10 the probable time of the arrival Of the
rev minister

is apparently no end in the country. for
while the general government does little
or nothing TO forward this particular
form of musical art, private enterprise is
not backward in the exploitation OF the
native article or the foreign importa-
ton. The most signal demonstration Of
the popularity of the military band con-
cert can be observed in the history Of
''Sousa and His Band" during the ten
years of its existence. The organization
is a perfect artistic ensemble of its kind
and has done more to promote the cause
o. good music throughout the length and
breadth Of the land than all the erudite
symphony orchestras combined, for Sousa
reaches the great body Of the people who
love music for its inherent attractions
rather than for its classical aspects.
Sousa seldom presents a concert program
en- which Wagner is not represented, and
all the great lights of music find sympa-
thetic Interpretation at --4e Sousa con-
certs.
Sousa is at present engaged upon his
twenty-first seni-annual tour of his band,
extending from Maine TO California. Late
in December he goes abroad again for his
third European tour. He will be here on
November at Toler Auditorium, when
in addition to his great band. Sousa will
present Two new soloists and will offer
brilliant and popular programs The
latest Sousa march Imperial Edward.
which he wrote for King Edward VII,
will be one of the most interesting novel

every act was greeted with enthusiasm
ard clapping of hands. Encore after en-
core greeted the speciality people, making

and his imitation of Sarn-yard fowls and
his cat duet, were great.
