FIGHTER and book Writer.

General Oliver o. Howard was born
In Maine, graduated at college. and
later at West Point. standing fourth
in the class Of 1850. He was professor
of mathematics when the war broke
out. which place he left to take com
mand of a Maine regiment. He COM
manded a brigade at the battle of
Bull Run. and in September Of the
same year was made q b~rigadier gen.
eral. He lost his arm in a charge at
the battle Of Fair Oaks in May. 1862.
After a rest of less than three months
he rejoined his brigade, and In No
vember, 1862. was appointed q major
general. He led the Eleventh Army
corps at Charlottesville and Gettys-
burg. His corps took part in the bat
tie OF Chattanooga and in Sherman's
Atlanta campaign. When Mcpherson
fell before Atlanta Howard succeeded
him as commander of the Army and
Department of the Tennessee and was
appointed a brigadier In the regular
army. In 1866 he was brevetted major
general. After the war he led a cam

this cream comes from Maine, and

The Quartermaster's department has
practically decided upon the new dress
and undress coat for the enlisted men
Of the army. Samples have been re-
ceived ct the department of the new
garment as devised by Maj. Patten OF
the Quartermaster's department, which
will soon be acted upon by the secre-
tary OF war. says the Army and Navy
Journal. The coat Is a blouse, having,
for the artillery. trimmings of red,
which al be detached in order that
the coat may be used for undress.
The shoulder knots on the coat are
less bulky than those now in use and
are extremely tasteful in appearance.
In fact h coat as a whole presents
a natty appearance and does great
credit to the officer who planned it.
The hat to be worn with the coat for
dress Is shaped like the hat now in
use. with red trimmings and with a
fancy red plume at the top and in
front. This plume is detachable. The
coats and hats for the other arms Of
the service ~ to be exactly like the
one for artillery. with distinguishing
colors of the infantry or the cavalry.
The change to be made in the o6icer's
uniform will correspond to those
planned for the enlisted men. A prom
inent officer of the cavalry is working
the shoulder knots for officers and
has now several samples to submit for
action by the department.
