WASHINGTON , Sept. 17 The next few
months will sea Important changes In the
United States army , and , with the approach
ing retirement of ofllcors high In commind ,
the question of their probable successors
finds many speculators.
The next Important \acancy will occur on
the retirement of IJilgidler Oeneral Michael
H. Morgan , commissary general of subsist
ence , a lev- months hence. It follows closely
the change In the head of the Quartermas
ter's department , caused by the retirement
of Urlgadlor General Uatchehler General
Morgan's successor will most probably he
ono of the live assistant commissary gener
als , all but one of uhom are graduates of
the Military academy Named In the order of
senlorlt > they aic Colonel Thomas C. Sul
lhan of Ohio. Colonul William H. Dell of
1'ennsjlvaula , Lieutenant Colonel Samuel T
Gushing of Hhode Island , Lieutenant Colonel
William A. nidcrklii of New York , and Lieu
tenant Colonel W H. Nash.
In less tinn thrcu months after General
Morgan's retirement comes that of Major
General Thomas II linger , commanding the
Department of the Hast , and the president's
personal representative lit the reception and
entertainment of LI Hung Chang This re
tirement \vlll necessitate promotions nil
along the line , Including the appointment of
a major general and a brigadier general
There arc six brigadier geneials ollgihlu
for the major generalship , \lz : Brooke ,
Wheaton , Otis , rorsyth , Uliss and Coppln-
ger. All have cxcellpnt war records One
of them , General Wheaton , retires five weeks
after General linger , and some ofllcers
think on that account that he stands no
chinco of selection. Others are of the opin
ion , hov\ever , that his caily retirement may
help Instead of hurt his chances , as by his
promotion the president could compliment
two deserving officers , whereas , otherwise.
General Wheaton would nc\er gain higher
rani :
Because of his seniority and other advan
tages General Brookb Is regarded In army
circles as most likely to receive the double
star. Ho began his career as a captain of
the Fourth Pennsylvania Infantry during
the civil war , and \ia.s breveted colonel In
the army for gallant services at
Gettysburg , and also brigadier gen
eral specifically for "distinguished

THE 1511
NEW STORE DOUGLAS ST.
AMUSEMENTS ,
Last evening the Schiller Opera Continue
company , under the management ot David
Henderson , gave Its Initial performance In
this city. The opera chosen was "The Ho-
humlan Girl , " composed by Unite , and first
produced at the Drury Lane In London , No
vember 27. 1813. Thu story seems to have
originated with Cervantes , and was used
as the basis of a pantomime ballet called
"Tho Gypsey" and played In Paris In 1SJ9
A versifier named Dunn is guilty of the
lines , with similar sounding endings He
has been dead for some time , but ho outlived
the Inspiration of his rhymes In spite of
the fuct that It has no diamatlu slgnlicance ,
the work has been tianslated Into German ,
Italian and French , and for its production
In Paris in 1SGJ the composer wrote nn ad
ditional act. Such was its success that he
was decorated with the Cross of the Legion
of Honor
It Is essentially a ballad opera. Its
choruses are but songs In four pails
Melody Is Its chiracteilstlc clement , and
by It has It won Us way around the world
and thrilled the hearts of hundreds of thou
sands ot men and women during the last
fifty-three years People call It old ; but In
music only the good things ever live to
get old
It Is a pleasant task to iccord the Impres
sions left by last evening's performance.
1'arnest effort to do one's best , and , as
a general thing , most gratifying results ,
such must be the verdict. Indeed , there
was frequently too much effort , more soft
singing would have been an Improvement.
There Is really no great objection to the
choius composing occasionally as they go
along , but they should vvrlto the accom
paniment also There were occasional har
monic Interpolations on their part that
didn't "Jibe" with the orchestra a little
bit. It Is to bo hoped that there is a.pat
ent on that bildge In the first act , which ,
after three raps , slides part way up the
mountain just In time to leave a yawning
chasm over which no ono Is attempting to
cross. A patent might prevent other com-
pinles from using It.
Miss Tllllo Salinger , as Aillnc , made a
decidedly favoiablo Impicsslon. She is pos
sessed of a powerful \olce , at Its best In
diamatic effects She Is a handsome woman
and made herself popular with the audlcnco
at the very beginning
Mr. William Stephens , as Thaddcus , the
really unfortunate hut hecmlngly very pros
perous and well-fed Polish nobleman , sang
with fire and enthusiasm. Ills voice Is
very clear , and occasionally he pushes It
harder than Is necessary , consuming
Bttcnsth which he subsequently needs A
fuller tone , not so powerful , would please
his hearers more. His "Fair Land of
Poland" was well sung and still better re
peated.
Kathertno McNeill. ns the Gypsy Queen ,
acted thu part consistently , and sang with
much expression. Her voice is best In its
TlT OtfsVhayer , as Devllshoof , scored an
unqualified success. His voice does no
ossess all the soothing and tender pathos of
humming her first-born to
mother
a young
suV but he sings his music acruiately and
well and plays his part with great power
JJut , after all , the artist who left nothing
to be desired except mnro ot IU own kind ,
was John McWade. who appeared In the
role of Count Arnhclm. His Is a beautiful
voice well trained , a musical tempera
ment wonderfully sensitive , and an experi
ence reaching over many years and Into
many lines of musical work. Ills renderIng -
Ing of "The Heart Hovvcd Down" was the
Kern of a performance full ot good things
Ilie other members of the cast were quiU

turcRquo drama of southern life "In Old

thvuter-goets throughout the country are
familiar with Its sterling merit and dis
tinct departure from the beaten path The
famous pickaninny band and the genuine
racing scone are ftatures of "In Old Ken
tucky" and the Kentucky flavor permeating
the play lends to It a chaim which cannot
fail to please "In Old Kentucky" Is an

Pa . Sept 17. Sol Smith
tonight presented a now comedy , "A
Ilachcloi's Romance , " for the first time on
nny Btngo , written for him by Martha Mor
ton The- loading role , David Holmes , a Now
York journalist , Is entirely different fiom
anything In which Mr. Hnssell hnn appeared.
Jt Is at once pathetic and humorous , and
ho won his audli nee from the first and hold
It with him until the final drop of the cur
tain The play Is the best he has had from
the pen of Martha Morton , and the produc
tion Is on n most elaborate and at list le scale.
The play tells a pretty stoiy ot self-sacrlllco
and Its ultimate toward. Divld Holmes
( Mr Kussell ) Is a quiet , sensitive student ,
who has earned the place of literary writer
on the Review , and Is made judge and reader
In n $10,000 prize contest for the best serial
stoiy submitted to the paper. David Is al
most unconsciously In love with Sylvia , who
has been thrown upon his charity by her
father. Harold Reynolds , a young member
of the Review staff , is also In love with her
and Imllcls bis hopes upon the $10,000 prize
which -would enable him to marry her. Thus
thu destiny of the young couple Is left In
David's hands. He eventually gives the
prize where It belongs to Harold. In thu
conflict of the two men , however , character
finally triumphs and David Is rewarded with
the disinterested love of the young girl. The
play was Interpreted by an adequate com
pany , In which , of coin so , Mr. Russell stands
pre-eminent for his quaint chnractri Uatlon.
Hdwln 1) . Tyler made a capable Harold Rey
nolds , and other members of the cast who
gained applause wore Chnilcs Mackey and
Alfred Hudson , as the icapecllvo typos ot
old and modern literal y men Miss Dcrthn
Crelghton. as Sylvia , and Miss Nltu Allen , as
n society belle.
