SURVIVING GENERALS.
All That Remain of the Six Hundred
and Eighty.

and Eighty.
Twelve states and the District of Co
lumbia are represented on the roster
of the volunteer generals of the civil
war surviving the first of the year.
New York is the home of two major
generals, Grenville NJ. Dodge and Ju-
Illus Stahl, both residing in New York
city. The Empire State also claims
five brigadier generals-N. NJ. Curtis
residing at Ogdensburg; W. II. Sew
ard, at Auburn; Alexander Shaler, at
Ridgefeld; A. S. Webb, at Riverdale,
and E. M. McCook in New York
city.
Minneapolis is the home of Brigadier
General R. F. Patterson and Brigadier
General L. A. Grant Brigadier Gen
eral G. c. Andrews lives in st. Paul
The only two major generals surviving
Jan. 1, Dodge and Stahl, have been
named There were twenty-five brig
adler generals on the roster, eight of
whom have been named. The names
and residences Of the others of this
rank are here given: Cyrus Bussey,
Washington; Joshua L. Chamberlain
of Brunswick and Selden Conner of
Augusta, Me-; A. L. Chetlain, William
Sooy Smith and Green B. Raum, Chi
cago; Clayton Powell, Eureka Springs,
Ark; John Cook, Ransom, and Byron

Cooper, st. John, Kan; D. Mem.
Gregg, Reading, Pa; E. NJ. Harland,
Norwich. Conn; G. F. McGinnis, In
dianapolis; G. ]. Paine, Boston; F. S.
Nickerson, Needham, and Adelbert
Ames, Lowell, Mass; John Beatty, Co
lumbuS, o.
The original roster in the volunteer
service was 131 major generals and
$40 brigadier generals. The youngest
of the survivors in 1909 is Brigadier
General Selden Conner, who was reg
istered Jan. as seventy years of age;
the oldest, Brigadier General Cooper,
who had passed eighty-six. The aver
age for the twenty-seven generals sur
viving was seventy-nine.
Among the lower grades of officers
a greater percentage survive, and for
the rank and file the survivors in 1909
number about 33 per cent of the sur
vivors in 1865. The average of the
100000 and odd surviving is about
sixty-nine. The average age of the
enlisted men during the war period
was about twenty-three. At the out
set the soldier is picked man, men
tally and physically, and experience in
the service teaches him that excuses
and neglect surely bring day of reck-
oning. The youngest of the surviving
volunteer generals who have been
transferred to the regular army ros-
ter, Nelson A. Miles, is seventy. and
the oldest D. e. Sickles, is eighty-four.
Sickles gained the regular army rank
in the war, and Miles received it for
service in the regular establishment
since the war.

Sultan of Sulu.-In the Sultan of
Sulu," to be presented at the Moline
theater Tuesday night, one of the
most humorous and laughable scenes,
as well as one of the prettiest in the
whole play, is the song and dream of
the sultan as he starts to sing love
song to Henrietta, when suddenly she
disappears and he hears a great num-
Der of couples taking up the same

largest, most discriminating audiences
that has viewed a purely dramatic Of
fering here in years saw Walker

Melting Pot at the Illinois theat9r

of the cast been given such an IN
| thusiastic reception in this city. Out
| side of some of his Shakespearean
roles his present vehicle fits him be-
ter than any he has essayed III re-
tcent years. Mr.. Whiteside appears rs

| from Kishineff, where he was left
alone in the world at the tender age
| by the butchering of his parents and
brothers and sisters in one of the riots
there He comes to America. where
| his musical genius asserts itself ana

his great American Symphony" af-
| fords opportunity for dramatic climax

! Whiteside brings out the thought that
! America is the great melting pot in
which Europe and other continents are
! pouring the ingredients and out of
which, eventually, will come the per-
fectly moulded American, even the
racial characteristics of the Hebrew
being merged in the process. The
other members of the cast divide the
| hOnors with Mr.. Whiteside, notably
Chrystal Herne as Vera Revendahl
! daughter of the Russian count; John
Blair as Count Ravendahl, Henry Berg
man as Mendel Quixano, Louise Null
dener as Frau Quixano, and Henry
Nogel as Herr Pappelmeister.
