Gen. Baldwin Recommends System
for the Army.
From the Washington Evening Star.
Gen. Frank D. Baldwin. commanding
the Department of the Colorado in his
annual report to the War Department
recommends the adoption of system
for substantially rewarding meritorious
officers who distinguished themselves
either in the field or in other profess
sional lines and submits the draft of a
bill to carry it into effect.
This may be attained" says Gen.
Baldwin, by creating one or more adj
i ditional positions in each grade to
which officers of exceptional merit
might be advanced without prejudice to
their seniors. Thus, provision might
be made for two extra colonies, seven
lieutenant colonies, nine majors, twelve
captains and five first lieutenants, in
addition to the present authorized
strength. These places should be avail
able for the proper reward of merito-
rious officers who may be recommended
by their immediate superiors and whose
names should be presented to the Secre-
tary of War or to the President on
the recommendation of a board of Off
GERS appointed to investigate the cir
cumstances of the particularly conspic-
uous, gallant or other meritorious con-
duct reports to be transmitted to the
Secretary of War, for the information

lowing to the scarcity of officers by
reason of numerous details on special

for the gown is very thin a narrow in

to the drop skirt and for this nothing

There are said to be many clever
specialties in Happy SIooligan' which
is the attraction Friday matinee and

people in the company are Eva Daven-
port, Billy A. Ward, Otis H Wood,
Matthews and Law, and Novelty Trio

The attraction Saturday matinee and

has been one of the successes of the
past two seasons, and is still reaping
the reward of popularity. To with
stand the trying test of public criti-

In the South, where negro character
is seen all the time, where the delinea-
ton of the race is most appreciated,
AL G. Field has a strong constituency,
for his clever work is appreciated by
people who know what the colored
man on his native heath is. 1t is
tribute to the talent of Mr.. Field to
know that this is so. His pictures of
plantation life are always appreciated,
and he draws them with the hand of
an artist. Field will be at the theater
next Tuesday matinee and night.
