COLONEL JOSEPH B. MACCABE.

The New Commander-In-Chief of the Sons of Veterans. Colonel Joseph B. Maccabe, the the new Commander-in-chief of the Sons of Veterans, is 36 years old and

a native of Manchester, N. H. From boyhood he has lived in Boston and is very popular thero. In political life he has ■ been active. He was at one time a member of the common council of Boston, and at that

time was the youngest member ever elected to that body. He has also been a member of the State Legislature. Last January he was unanimously elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts Soldiers’ Home at Chelsea, demonstrating his standing among the comrades of the G. A. R. His career in the Sods of Veterans has been marked with success. His administration of the Massachusetts division from the time he assumed command of the force of four camps, with an opposition numbering ten times as many, to the time when he witnessed the installation of his successor a year later at the encampment representing a united and harmonious division, is sufficient evidence of his executive ability and the esteem in which he is held by the members of the order throughout his State.

COL, JOS. B. MACCAE.
