He wore that kind of a coat, but it has been developed since his first wearing of it. It is specially noticeable by the cut of the shoulders. Raglans will be worn a great deal this Winter in both ulster and overcoat. Rough cloth is used. F. A. CORBIN, 1000 CHAPEL ST., New Haven, Conn. [a My pay IN NEw York is Thursday. Place, Astor House.

For several years he made his residence in North Carolina, where he was interested in a gold mine, but the outbreak of the Civil War made it necessary for him to return to the North, where, during the war, he served in the Navy. At the close of the war he directed his atten- tions to coal mining in Ohio, but. this work he was also forced to drop in 1868, owing to a cataract in the left eye, which caused almost total blindness. In 1871 he was again able to resume business, having been _ successfully operated upon. His business connec- tions from that time on were with the Murray Hill Bank in. New York City. Mr. Darling was a bachelor. THE LATE CAPTAIN GUY HOWARD, 75. ‘Captain Guy Howard, ’75, who was killed at Arayat, Philippine Islands, by the insurgents, Oct. 22, as stated in the last issue of the WEEKLY, was a son of Brigadier-General O. O. Howard. He was born at Kennebec Arsenal, Augusta, Maine, December 16, 1855, and prepared for Yale at Phillips Academy at An- dover. October 31, 1876, he was com- missioned Second Lieutenant Twelfth Infantry, U. S. A. He served in several Indian wars, and commanded a com- pany of Indian scouts on the Mexican frontier in 1879 and 1880. He was made Aide-de-Camp on the staff of the General commanding the Department of the Columbia, May 1, 1880. He was transferred to the Department of West Point, January 1, 1881. He spent two years at the Artillery School at Fort Monroe, and was graduated therefrom May 1, 1882. He served later as Aide- de-Camp on the staff of his father, then commanding the Department of the Platte. July 19, 1882 he was promoted to a First Lieutenancy of the Twelfth Infantry. January 7, 1893, he was ap- pointed an Assistant Quartermaster, which transferred him from the line to the staff. 3 Captain Howard joined the Second Army Corps June 1, 1808 and was Flannel Shirts Are. the correct thing for Fall and Winter wear.

He then returned to his posi- tion as Captain and Assistant Quarter- master in the regular army. Captain Howard, then Lieutenant Howard, was married February 14, 1884, to Miss Jeanie Woolworth at Omaha, Nebraska. Mrs. Howard with three children survive him. Captain Howard is described by a classmate as very greatly esteemed and beloved in his class. An incident in his life which showed his skill and bravery was his conduct in the shipwreck in the Nica- ragua Canal party on Ronsador Reef, March, 27, 1891. Captain Howard was in charge of the party and to his manage- ment and bravery the fact that all es- caped in safety is largely due. WILLIAM DAVIS MANRO, EX-’88. William Davis Manro, ex-’88, while temporarily demented committed suicide by jumping from the Washington Avenue bridge in Minneapolis, October 18. Mr. Manro attempted to take his life last Spring when in a similiar condition, but was saved by prompt medical assistance. As the body has not yet been recovered and several bits of evidence point to .his possibly escape from the water the au- thorities do not feel sure of his death, but the fact that the jump was one hundred feet into three feet of water, makes it incredible that he could have survived. William Davis Manro received his early education at Phillips Andover Academy and although he took the full course of studies with the Class of Eighty-Eight he did not receive his de- gree. After leaving College he was en- gaged for several years as Principal of the high school at Rome, N. Y. He was then engaged to fill a similiar position in Paterson, N. J., and later held a posi- tion with the New York Life Insurance Company. He was about to take charge of the Minneapolis office of that com- pany at the time of his death. DWIGHT WALTER BISSELL, EX-’89. Dwight Walter Bissell, a former mem- ber of the Class of Eighty-Nine, died at Grace Hospital, New Haven, Monday evening, October 31, as the result of an over dose of morphine. Mr. Bissell had been staying at the New Haven House for several days and presumably took the morphine to induce sleep of which he had had little for some time. One of his friends who called at his room at the hotel on Monday found him just going under the influence of the drug. Mr. Bissell himself saw his case was serious and asked that Dr. Arthur S. Cheney be sent for. Dr. Cheney ordered him sent at once to Grace Hos- pital, and efforts were made to revive him, but without any success. Mr. Bissell’s home was at North Stonington, Conn. He had formerly been in railroad business in Mexico, but was not in active business at the time of his death. He married, March 4, 1895, Miss Mary Wheeler of Stonington. He left no children.
