A rrophy Of ths nleoar AnrIs.


One Of the hAppiest men who returned
from the Gettysburg memorial encamp-
ment is G. w. Bishing, of Harvey's
Lake, this county. He was a private
in Capt Rice's company, Fifty-third
Pennsylvania volunteers Bishing was
shot twice at Gettysburg, his wounds
being ugly ones, bullet shattering an
arm and another entering near his right
thigh. This occurred near the bloody
angle and not far from the spot on which
the regimental monument stands. As
soon as he received the wounds he set to
work to bury his musket. He fell near
a big rock, and, though suffering great
pain and bleeding profusely, he man.
aged to scoop out enough dirt at the base
of the bowlder to slip his musket into
the excavation. Afterward he carefully
covered it and wondered whether he
would ever see it again.
Bishing accompanied the surviving
members of his old regiment, the Fifty
third Pennsylvania volunteers, to Gettys-
burg on the occasion of the dedication of
their monument. While there Bishing,
accompanied by several old comrades,
started out to look for the musket he had
buried twenty-six years before. The
bloody angle was easily found, and he
soon distinguished the huge bowlder at
whose base he had fallen and where he
had hidden the gun. 1t took but few
moments to dig the earth up, when, to
his Joy, he struck the old 'musket and
quickly resurrected it. 1t had the ap-
pearance of Rip Van Wrinkles fowling
piece. The stock had fallen apart, but
was still in a good state of preservation.
The barrel was bound about with a thick
coat of rust, and the lock and other por-
tions were in the same condition. But
Bishing lifted the old musket tenderly,
and, as the recollections of the past filled
his mind, he kissed it with the enthusi-
asm of father who has found long
lost child. Bishing brought the musket
to Wilkesbarre this afternoon. He says
he is poor, but no money will buy the

A Western Inventor.

Edgar F. Lincoln, of Topeka, Kan,
has taken out more patents during the
last two years than any man in the coun-
try. His inventions cover all fields, and
he has patented almost everything, from
an improved electric light to celluloid
toothpick. Like a great many inventors
he finds it difficult to make money out
of his cleverness. Other men reap the
profit of his brain effort. His latest de-
sign is toboggan brake. 1t enables a
toboggan to stop in the middle of the
steepest incline instantly if any obstruc-
ton suddenly appears on the chute

Bees and Gold.

Clinton A. Snowden, of Tacoma, saw
bees going and coming from hollow
tree. He built a fire, smoked out the
bees and cut down the tree to get the
honey. He found great lot Of it; but
better still, large quantity Of gold was
in the hollow trunk. 1t had evidently
been deposited there by nature, and the
wise men ent there think that it was
gradually washed up every year by the
flow of sap, and in courseof time accu-
mulated into solid mass" Mr.. Snow
den got over $1,000 for the gold.-New

1t will be no longer necessary to go to
New York for miscarriages of justice.
Within the past week our own State has
furnished peculiarly gross instance of the
kind 1t is difficult to conceive of stronger
case than was made against Gilman, the
oldtown man accused of setting his build
ings on fire. He had once admitted his guilt
to citizen of the State entirely above sus-
picion, who swore TO it In court. Yet
two jurymen found room for reasonable
doubt and refused to agree with the other
ten that he was guilty. 1t to be hoped that
this disagreement will not be the end of the
case. for should it be, Maine justice will lose
some of the good reputation which it has
heretofore enjoyed.

The haekman who was fined in the Munic-
pal Court Saturday, $40 and costs for not
wearing his badge at the Union railway sta
tion in conformity with the city ordinance
is deserving of sympathy. He was COM
PEELED to choose between the transgression
of city regulation and the loss of large
part of his means Of obtaining livelihood,
for had he worn the badge he would, in the
future, have been excluded from the station,
and not allowed to solicit passengers. 1t is
manifest that when two regulations work at
such cross purposes as these two do, one of
them must be wrong.

Our Canadian friends would, no doubt.
have been greatly pleased had the Queen, in
her speech to Parliament, referred to the
war with the United States which they have
been diligently working up for some weeks
past. 1t would have greatly relieved their
suspicion that Her Majesty's government
doesn't sympathize so deeply with their Beh-
ring Sea claims as it ought But the speech
is absolutely devoid of all comfort for them.

Alexandria Compress and Warehouse
Company.


The undersigned respectfully calls
the attention of the producers and
buyers of cotton to the following SUI
perior facilities offered by the above
company for the COMPRISING, storage
and handling of cotton.
A large and finely constructed COM
press building, connected with covered
yards, supplied with large cisterns and
an elevated tank, kept constantly filled
with water by means of steam pump
from we'll on the premises, with a
a supply of hose sufficient to reach ev
cry part of the property in case of fire;
thereby enabling the company to OBJ
tain the lowest rates OF insurance.
Reliable watchmen are on duty at
all hours, both day and night. The
side tracks of the Texas and Pacific
and the Southern Pacific railroads pass
in close proximity to the platforms,
thus avoiding dlayage to or from the
warehouse.
Charges for storage, handling and
COMPRISING cotton will be as reasona-
Die as those of the most favored mar
kets of the country.
