An Incident at Gettysburg.

The incident which l am about tc
relate occurred on the second day of
the battle of Gettysburg.
l belonged to the Ninth Regiment
Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteers, and
in the same company with me were
William W. Jeffrey, Isaac n. McAlunn
afterwards Captain), NJ. Copeland, J.
Porter and ]. Rigdon. l mention this
as they were connected with the affair
which l am about to relate.
We were lying behind a stone wall
and the firing had almost ceased on
our part of the line. There was a lull
in the battle at this point, although it
was raging furiously both to the right
and left. In front of our lines a great
many rebel wounded were lying, call
ing for help and begging piteously for
water. The Colonel of our regiment
rode along and asked who would vol
unteer to go out and give aid to the
wounded. A dozen men, or more, in.
stantly consented to go, the men
named above being of the number. The
rebels were whiting speaking distance,
and they were asked if our men would
be unmolested if they should go out
and bring in or give water to the
suffering Confederates. They agreed
that Union soldiers would certainly
be unmolested If our men would take
care of their wounded. The party i'm
mediately started out and one man
had been carried in behind the stone
wall Another wounded Confederate
was being lifted from the ground when
volley was opened on the humane
| Union soldiers, and l. n. McMunn was
shot through the head, the bullet car
rying away his upper jaw. The Con.
| federate wounded were instantly drop
ped, and two of McMunn's comrades
seized him and hurried him off the
| field. Another soldier, William w. JEFF.
fiery, had raised wounded Confeder-
ate and was giving him a drink from
| his Canteen when the vOlley came. OF
course the poor Confederate wounded
man got no more water from the
Union soldier, for he speedily made his
way, with his comrade, to place of
safety.
The Confederates numbered many
honorable men in their ranks, but the
affair above related is considered one
of the most despicable on record and
some Union soldiers are loath to be.
lieve the truth of it. Mr.. McMunn, af.
ter great deal of suffering, recovered,
and, with the aid of an artificial roof
in his mouth, he speaks almost as well
as he did before he received the
wound. He is now a prominent man
in the city of Pittsburgh. E. NJ, in

Resources OF Alaska.

More discovery of the riches of
Alaska has been accomplished this sea-
son than ever before. The latest dis
covery is large deposits of tin. 1t is
beginning to look as if this PARKWAY
and inhospltable region is to prove an
Ell Dorado. Many railroads are being
projected through its wllds in order to
get at it's immense wealth. say the
Wlnlock Pilot. With its fuy, fish. tim
Der, gold and other valuable minerals
this region that was once thought to be
next to valueless Is coming to the front
with great rapldity. Its resources are
sure to add greatly to the wealth Of the
nation. Uncle Sam made lucky ven
ture when he bought the land of snow

Gifu Fishing i'm japan.

"At Gifu we We're entertained with
one Of the most curious sights have
ever witnessed" said "A st. Louis tray
eler in the Globe-Democrat This
was the famous Gifu fishing OF which
all travellers in Japan love to relate.
We went with the natives in open
boats, near midnight, in mountain
stream. At the prov was wire bas-
ket filed with flaming wood. one of
the fishermen was near this. He held
in his hands strings, to which were tied
live birds, a species of duck.
The glare Of the torch attracted the
fish to the surface of the water. When
one of the birds sighted fish it would
dive after it and usually succeeded
in capturing and swallowing it, When
a duck had swallowed several fish and
its neck appeared fat with them the
fishermen pulled it into the boat. Then
one of the men would destrously
squeeze the ducks neck 50 that 1t
would vomit the fish, still alive, into
a large basket
The fish captured are a species Of
trout and are considered great deli
cacy. The Japs eat their fish boiled
in a kind of soup, and half raw. We
encountered this dish, also numerous
other Japanese dishes, which we found
far from savory. Americans, as rule,
do not take kindly to the native dishes
of Japan. Nearly everywhere, how.
ever, 1t is possible to get what one
wants In going into n JononpSp rpS-
taurant it is customary to stop in the
kitchen and select the viands one de-
sires to have cooked for his meal"

COME INCREASES IN GERMANY.
statistics Recently Published Are
Somewhat Disuuietnu

The newly published criminal statis,
les OF the German empire are not
pleasant reading. All along the line
they show an increase in crime over
the previous year, which cannot alto
g2thar be accounted for by the natural
increase OF population. The total mum.
Der Of convictions reached 497 300, or
1900 more than last year. In the
categories of ordinary theft and rob-
bery with violence the increase is very
marked, probably owing to the want
raused by general trade depression. A
remarkable increase is also observable
in offenses against officials and against
public orders. Probably the largest in
crease Of all Is found in crimes where
bodily injury is inflicted This last
category has risen from $4,000 to 9S,-
oU9. The number Of o.ienSes against
morality steadily ri es in accordance
with the experience Of former years.
This was notabl. the case nth rape
and crimes committed against chill.
dren. These have risen from 4,76Q to
5,152 and from 2.794 TO Ais respec.
lively. Juvenile offenders are on the
increase, proving that the demoraliza-
aon OF youth continues.
