METCALFE, Henry :


Captain U. S. Army, retired; born N. Y. City, Oct. 29, 1847. On the side of his father, the late Doctor John T. Metcalfe, he is descended from a Yorkshire family said to have been among the early colon- ists of Virginia whence they removed to Kentucky and later to Mississippi and Louisiana. On his mothers's side he comes from the Anglo-Irish family of


Colles. His great-grandfather, John Colles, coming to this country in 1771 with his counsin, Christopher Colles, an eminent inventor to whom is attributed the original conception of the Erie canal, the introduction of wooden water pipes in New York, and other inventions. Was educated in private schools in Morris- town, N. J., and at New Rochelle, N. Y., until his admission to the U. S. Military Academy in Aug., 1863. His stay at West Point was prolonged a year beyond the usual term of four years by illness. He was graduated in June, 1862, and was assigned to duty with the ordnance department of the army, serving here until his retirement in 1893. His most important duties were as Recorder of the Small Arms Board of 1873, a commis- sion that, in adopting the Springfield breech-loading rifle, developed methods largely used as models for other investi- gations of this nature. The closely an- alytical nature of his report made it for some years an authority on Military small arms. In 1875 was ordered to su- perintend the construction of the build- ing erected by the U. S. government at


the Centennial exposition, and, at the same time, to construct and maintain the exhibit made therein by the ordnance department of the army. On the com- pletion of the building he became the executive officer of the government de- partments exhibiting therein. In the meantime he had been charged with the organization of the inspection of small arms and ammunition being manufactured in great quantities in New England for the Imperial Ottoman government. His office was practically that of arbitrator between the Imperial officers and the con- tractors in contracts aggregating many million dollars. Friction having arisen between himself and the Imperial com- missioners he was relieved from this duty at their request but he had the satisfaction of receiving the approval of his own superiors, of seeing all his recommendations carried out by the com- missioners, and finally of receiving from the Imperial Ottoman government the decoration of the Osmanie many years after the quality of the arms and am- munition had been tested in the Russian- Turkish war. In his penultimate service as instructor of ordnance and gunnery at West Point he was permitted to repay in part a debt long due his Alma Mater by revising and publishing at considerable expense to himself a course of instruc- tion in ordnance and gunnery-the first complete treatise on the subject for near- ly thirty years. The severity of the ap- plication required to compose and to write this course, while, so to speak, teaching it, impaired his eye-sight so that he was retired in October, 1893. Apart from the two books he is the author of The Cost of Manufactures and the Ad- ministration of Work Shops, publicly and privately very generally used and es- teemed. Since his retirement as head of the Water Commission he has introduced the water supply of Cold Spring-on-the- Hudson, N. Y., and as president of the school board he has interested himself deeply in public education. Married, in April, 1870, Harriet. daughter of John H. Nichols, Washington, D. C. Residence, Cold Spring-on-the-Hudson; office, 143 Liberty St., N. Y. City.
