anatomy of the Army Medical Museum, at Washington, D. C .. and shortly afterwards professor Baird made him an honorary curator of the Smithsonian Institution, where Dr. Shufeldt became the founder of the department of comparative anat- omy. Early in the eighty's he was or- dered to New Orleans, where he became assistant surgeon at Jackson Barracks; while there he published many scientific papers and memoirs, and made most ex- tensive collections of the animals of the region for the Smithsonian Institution. In a little over a year he was returned to Washington, and again appointed to his old position in the museum; other writ- ings of his on the structure of birds soon began to appear, being formal mono- graphs illustrated by his own hand and published by the government. At the end of less than two years his sphere of ac- tion was suddenly interrupted, due to a radical change of regime in the War De- partment, and he was removed from the museum to the army dispensary in Wash- ington; at his own request he was again ordered to the frontier, the subsequent five and a half years were spent at Fort Wingate, New Mexico. While there, Professer Baird, of the Smithsonian In- stitution, supplied him with large quan- tities of Alaskan material, representing the osteology of birds, all of which he illustrated with hundreds of figures and described and published in the journals of learned societies in Europe and this country: collections were also made, and over a hundred other illustrated scientific articles from his pen appeared in rapid succession. These included a general work on the muscles of birds with nearly a hundred text figures ("Myology of the Raven." Macmillan & Co.). He was re- tired for disability in Feb., 1891, and re- turned to Washington. D. C. In 1895 he served as one of the judges at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, though labors of that character never especially attracted him; in Aug., 1901, he removed to New York City. Dr. Shufeldt has been made a member of many of the learned societies of the world; among these may be mentioned his being a Fellow of Am- erican Association for the Advancement of Science; member of the Zoological So- ciety of London; fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union, the Anthropological Society of Florence, Italy; the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; mem- ber and trustee of the Medico-Legal So- ciety of New York City, L'Alliance Scien- tifique Universelle de France, and a num- ber of others. His published titles num- ber nearly a thousand. Address, 471 West . 145th St., New York.

but left to learn the printer's trade, which he followed for several years; then studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1884, and began practice in New York City. In 1847 he was elected to the Legislature, in which body he took rank as a leader of the Democrats; in 1853 was appointed Corporation Counsel of New York City, and on July 30 of the same year he was commissioned as Secretary of Legation at London, and accompanied James Buchan- an to England. He returned in 1855, was elected, after an energetic canvass, to the New York State Senate in the autumn, and a year later was chosen a member of Congress, taking his seat on Dec. 7, 1857; was elected for a second term, and served till March 3, 1861. At the beginning of the Civil War he raised the Excelsior Brigade of U. S. Volunteers in New York City, and was commissioned by the Pres- ident as colonel of one of the five regi- ments; on Sept. 3, 1861 the President nominated him brigadier-general, and he was subsequently confirmed by the Sen- ate. He commanded a brigade under General Joseph Hooker, and gained dis- tinction at Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and Malvern Hill; his brigade saw very severe service in the Seven Days' fight before Richmond and in the Maryland campaign, and bore a conspicuous part at Antietam. He succeeded General Hooker in the com- mand of the division, and was engaged at Fredericksburg. On the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac, he was as- signed to the command of the Third Army Corps, and was appointed major-general March 7, 1863, his commission dating from Nov. 29, 1862; at Chancellorsville he dis- played gallantry and energy, gaining the first success of the day by cutting off an ammunition train of the enemy, arresting a general panic by rallying the retreating artillery. and withstanding the force of Stonewall Jackson's attack with deter- mination after the line was formed. At Gettysburg his corps was posted between Cemetery Hill and Little Round Top he advanced to an elevation which he thought desirable to hold, and in this po- sition was assailed by General James Longstreet's column, while General John B. Hood endeavored to gain the unoccu- pied slope of Little Round-Top. In the desperate struggle that followed, the Third Corps effectively aided in preserving that important position from the enemy, but was scattered by the onset of over- whelming numbers; after the line was broken, General Ambrose P. Hill followed the Confederate advantage with an at- tack on Sickles's right, during which Gen- eral Sickles lost a leg. He continued in active service till the beginning of 1865, and was then sent on a confidential mis- sion to Colombia and other South Amer- ican countries. On July 28, 1866. he joined the regular army as colonel of the Forty-second Infantry; on March 2, 1867,. was brevetted brigadier-general for brav-

ery at Fredericksburg, and major-general for "gallant and meritorious service at Gettysburg." He commanded the Mili- tary District of the Carolinas in 1865-67, and carried out the work of reconstruction so energetically that President Johnson relieved him from his command after first offering him the mission to the Nether- lands, which he declined. He was mus- tered out of the volunteer service on Jan. 1, 1868, and on April 14, 1869, was placed on the retired list of the United States army, with the full rank of major-general. He was active in promoting General Grant for the Presidency, and on May 15, 1869, he was appointed minister to Spain, but relingquished this post on March 20, 1873, and resumed his residence in New York City. He has been president of New York State Board of Civil Commis- sioners for several years; sheriff of New York, 1890; in Nov., 1892, he was elected a member of Congress.

SIMMONS, J. Edward:

Banker; was born .in Troy, New York,. in 1841. Received his elementary educa- tion in Troy, and in 1858 entered Will- iams College, where he graduated in 1862. He then entered upon the study of law in the Albany Law School, and received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1863, and in the same year was admitted to the bar. He immediately began legal practice in Troy, remaining there until 1867, when he removed to New York City, and en- gaged there in the business of banking and brokerage. He continued actively en- gaged in business, and on June 2. 1884, was elected president of the Stock Ex- change. He was elected by an unusu- ally large majority, and the following year he was unanimously re-elected. A third was offered him, but he declined re- nomination. He has several times de- clined nomination to other important offi- ces where election was sure,-among them that of mayor of New York. Politi- cally Mr. Simmons is a Democrat, but is in no sense a local partisan or a follow- er of Tammany. He has rendered his narty important assistance in Presiden- tial and other leading contests. and in 1885, after the election of Cleveland to. the Presidency, his name. was proposed by Samuel J. Tilden and other party lead- ers, without consulting him, for the po- sition of collector of the port of New York. On learning what was afoot. he immediately declined the honor, and so decisively that the effort for his nomina- tion was dropped. Having thus refused to accept a post carrying large patronage and emoluments, he cheerfully accepted one without salary, that of president of the Board of Education, to which he was elected in 1886, on his return from Europe. He had been appointed commissioner of the board in 1881, and served as its presi- dent for five years. Many beneficial changes were made in the school system during his incumbency. In 1888, mainly

through his influence, the legislature

passed a bill conferring collegiate rank and powers on the New York Normal College, and he took the deepest inter- est in the College of New York, working successfully for its development. Dur- ing his absence in Europe his name was strongly advocated by the business men of the city for the office of mayor, an honor which he declined. In 1888 he was made president of the Fourth National Bank, despite the fact that he owned no stock in the bank, and had no personal acquaintance with any of its directors. He served also as receiver of the Ameri- can Loan and Trust Company of New York, a responsible duty which he dis- charged to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. Was president of the Clearing House in 1898. He has for the past ten years been president of the Panama Rail- road Company. and is now vice-president of the New York Chamber of Commerce.
