Gar1ilngton Best Known of All. The best known Carolinian of all is, without doubt, Brig. Gen. Ernest A. Garlington, inspector general of the army, whose claim to public no tice -is not, as some might believie, confined to the prominent part he hab recently been called upon to play in the much-talked-of Brownsville affair. This officer has seen hard service for many a year; and. his record to none in view. of the gallant part he played in the Indian fighting some years ago when lie was seriously hurt at the battle of Wounded Knee. Gen. Garlington graduated from the Mili tary Academy at West Point with the class of 1876 and entered first the 7th cavalry, in which regiment lie re nained till January, 1895, when he left, his captaincy in that regiment to become major in the inspeeltor general 's departinent, in Whichli he has steadily risen until now he is its hon ored head. Another offlicer ~w.ho left the 7th cavalry to accept promotion in an important staff corps is Major John B. Bellinger, of the quartermaster's department, who for t'he last foir years las served with conspicuous ability in the office of the quartermas ter general of the army here in Wash ington. Major Gaillard's Promotion. The senior engineer officer on the list--and one to whom unusual lion ors ha.ve come 'within the past few days-is Major David DuB Gaillard, who has just been' selected by the President as one of three officers of the entire army to serve as a member of the Isthimian Canal commission, which is to-take up the work of con structing the Pa:nama Canal, and prosecute.it to a speedy and success fiul conclusion. No higher compli miht could he paid to any omeer than this recogniit ion of his professional skill and administrative ahility; and Major ('aillard 's friends freely pr'e diet that lhe will measure up to the highiest standardl of what is required in so important a position. Capt. Charles T. Bliker, of the quar ter master's department, dates his 4 commission from July, 1898; but. in that time he has shione such an or Sder of aptitude for .the service and such untiring attention to duty that he is already well known at head quarters as one of the very best offib cers of his~ corps. He is at present assigned to important and responsibl e duty in the Philippines. * Four Assistant Surgeons. The four' assiptant surgeons are Capt. Charles E'. B.
