< ) ^ IN CHARGE AT WEST POINT |j | _ ._ * Mnj. Gon. Thomas H. Barry. U. S. A., who haf I become superintendent of tho United States Mill \ lary academy at West Point, is what Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman recently termed "a typ iljfcft, v~*\ ical product of New York city." He was born and J^p*uA reared in the old First ward, and there are no* New York men who will tell you that "Tom' | >i?j\ Barry was the handsomest hoy in the old ward, vib jL/?X' *w/ an,l that when he came hack frorn West Point T> Y on fu lough the younger hoys \\ jf,> v/ont to ' T point him out as their hero. General Barry was one of tho poptu i? cadets I ^ during the four years ho was at the academy. As ijJL-an athlete lie stood in tho front rank, and he stood lliell as a Kllldeilt In .Tiinr> 1R77 >1 o rnrplvo.l liic diploma, and as a second lieutenant was assigned to (he famous Seventh cavalry, Custer's old command. After throe years In the Seventh General Barry was transferred to the Infantry arm and assigned to the First infantry as a first lieutenant. Two years later ho was promoted captain, and after that passing through every grade until in August. 1903. President Roosevelt made him a brigadier general. In April, 1008. the same president promoted him to his present rank, the highest under tho present law that an army officer can attain. General Barry as superintendent at West Point is tho second officer of his rank to hold that post since West Point was founded. Tho other was l,ieut. Gon. John M. Schoflcld, who was a major general when appointed superintendent In 187G. No officer in the army has a finer record than General Harry. In the Spanish war he was an adjutant general, and afler the close of that war he saw hard service In the Philippines. When the Cuban government failed to make good several years ago, with the result, that the Americans had to . reoccupy the island. General Barry was designated by President Roosevelt as commander-in-chief of the Army of Cuban Pacification, as it was known, auu in mat capacity he did his work so thoroughly that when the island was for a second time turned back ?o Its own people to rule General Barry wasaccorded when he left an ovation such as few officers have ever received at home or abroad. FEDERAL CHIEF OF MINES f In (hn n nitcmtmnn t a ~ be direc tor o{ the new bureau of mines it is con %.NsSfijfc, ceded in Washington (hat probably the best jfeS'1 equipped man j'v. the position in the I'nited cF States has been pained for this Important post. h _ni--^I'^ver since coIi^tchh passed the bill creating, ''U> l>ni'eau and giving it authority to investigate tCiV mine disasters, make experiments an<l suggest I' / >TA means whereby accidents may bo decreased and \ Iho yearly casualty list shortened, efforts have XV I been made by hundreds of Interested persons (r, j a\w)*ujl havo Dr. Holmes selected as chief. The Indorse V niont of all the coal operators' associations has I iv boon given. every prominent mining engineer in j - J&mh. "ir> cou",r.v- including John Hays Hammond, ha? gfcln/wfflyfo-, made his plea for Dr. Holmes, and the miners j * " union hasi added its efforts in his cause. ' 4 NThree great delegations visited Washington early in the summer to urge t)io appointment, tho managers of sixty collieries Joined in tho laudator} chorus, and sixty-two senators put their names to a petition in his behalf. All this recognition was won by Dr. Holmes while, nervine as r-lilef ieeh nologlst of the technological branch of (lie geological survey. In this capa<?it> ho was carrying on in a minor way the work which ho now will develop tc the fullest extent. While the operations of the technological bureau have not been wide spread, because of lack of funds and authority, still the men under l)r Holnvs were able to diminish mine dif^ist ers. They personally saved tin lives of many imprisoned miners by going to their rescue in the face of dan gers which would have n.eant death to less experienced men with poorer equipment. Tho work of making mines safe has occupied the attention of Dr. Holme* for years, and lie has made rapid advancement in the finding of effectivemeans to the end which he has sought. Ho gained the confidence of labor and capital, and it is well known here that his subordinates aru loyalty itself to the chief. f ) | WUIVIAIN WMU I A MILLION I fl" ???????The series of exquisite gowns worn by Mrs. William B.
