perience and self culture perfected. The
civil war was the opportunity that came
TO shape the young mans destiny.
When Lincoln called for volunteers
Corbin was among the first to respond
to the summons. In four years he had
developed from the raw country lad
into the colonel Of q regiment with a
wide reputation for soldierly qualities.
Corbin's regiment was not disbanded
until March, 1866. The young colonel
received the brevet of brgadier general
and was at once commissioned a second
lieutenant In the regular army. He rose
gradually. step by step, and his promo
tons were always In recognition OF
some distinct service to the government
Between the date OF his entrance into
the regular army and that OF his com
mission as major and assistant adju-
tant general period of fifteen years.
Corbin won the reputation OF being one
OF the most redoubtable Indian fighters
IN the army. He served on the STATS
OF Hunt, Schofield, Terry. Crook and
Miles and for ten years OF this period
he neither sought nor received a days
furlough
In 1892 General Corbin was ordered to
duty At the war department and FIVE
years later was promoted to the rank
OF adjutant general. BY that time he
was one OF the best known military men
IN the country, having served as mill
tary attache at tho White House and
having had an intimate acquaintance
with several of the presidents and with
noted public men OF all parties. He was a
personal friend Of Garfield and was In
his company at the railroad station at
the time OF the assassination He also
stood by his friends bedside at that
sad finale at Elbcron n. J.
When the war with Spain was de-
clared Adjutant General Corbin became
the busiest man IN the country. Up
on him developed the great task OF Or
ganzins, equipping and moving not
only the regular army but also the
| $4,000 volunteers. All the detail and
preparation OF making out the commits
sions and appointments fell to him. AT
| the close OF the war he was made ma
| jor general.
Major General Arthur Macarthur be-
gan his career as a soldier forty-fve
years ago. and he Is today the Ideal
| type OF a modern army officer. AS the
military head of the department OF the
Philippines he demonstrated that fact
! tc the satisfaction OF the most skeptlcal.
| The general Is a suave. courteous man,
shrewd and amiable. and with re-
markable insight into human nature.
| Besides being q model soldier he Is
likewise a diplomat His grasp OF at
fairs in the Philippines was the result
OF an intelligence beyond that OF a mere
| soldier No one ever saw him RULED
or betrayed into impotence Although
he has the reputation OF being an In
flexible disciplinaran, he Is a general
favorite among all ranks in the army,
General Macarthur, a native OF Mas
sachusetts. Is also a graduate Of the
civil war and not of West Point. He
served with distinction In the Army of
the Tennessee and was promoted as the
result of gallantry on several hard
fought fields Congress voted him a
medal for bravery at Missionary Ridge.
He Is reputed TO be the most scholarly
man in the army, being especially well
qualified as historian.

"HE recent resignation and re-
tirement OF Lieutenant Cen
eral Adna r. Chaffee as chief
OF staff and the subsequent
promotion to the vacancy of Major
General John G.. Bates, former assist
ant chief Of stan, mark another step IN
the rapid progression which is termi-
mating the military careers OF four
very interesting men. Besides the two
already mentioned these men are Ad-
jutant General Henry G. Corbin and
Major General Arthur Macarthur.
According to the present age limit
retirement from active service In the
United States army is prescribed at
slxty-four. General Chaffec would
have reached the retirement age on
April IL next, but he anticipated the
legal expiration Of his military life by
resigning on Jan Is of the present
year General Bates, commissioned

retirement period Sept. Is. He has al
ready announced his intention Of de-
clIning the position OF chief OF STAFF,
but OF course Will accept the short
lived dignity OF Lieutenant general.
Major General James r. Wade would
become lieutenant general and chief Of
staff upon the retirement Of General
Corbin but Wade's date of retirement
is April IA. 1907 years before his pred
ecessor win retire. General Corbin's
declaration that he will not accept the
Office OF chief OF staff and his recon-
mendation that Brigadier General j.
Franklin Bell, younger man, be Sc
lected for the vacancy will relieve the
service OF all embarrassment In the
matter. In future, retiring officers Will
be satisfied to become lieutenant gen

FAMOUS TENOR FRUSTRATED
Caruso Unable to Appear in Court to
Answer to the Serious Charge
Against Him.

New York, Nov. 17.-Enrico Caruso, the
famous tenor. who was arrested in Cen

a woman who charged that he had re-
peatedly insuited her, did not appear
when his name was called i'm police court
today. Nor was Mrs. Hannah Graham
who preferred the charges against Ca
russo, present in court. .....
Former Judge Dittenhoefer, who ap-
peared for Caruso. who was released on
bail yesterday. said the tenor was physi-
cally unable to come to court. He is still
at his hotel, completely Frustrated by the
seriousness of the charge which has been
lodged against him. On the request of
Judge Dittenhoefer the hearing was post
ponel until next Wednesday.
The Central park policeman who made
the arrest agreed to the postponement
and informed the court that he believed
he would be able to fino Mrs. Graham
and have her in court by that time. AS
the address which she gave at the time
the arrest was made was a fictitious one,
however, it is possible that the complain
ant may never appear to press the charge
unless she goes to court voluntarily.
