NORTH AND SOUTH UNITED
Two Warriors, Opponents During
the Rebellion, Clasp Hands
In Friendship

The differences between the North
and South, now happily being rapidly
lost sight of, were entirely forgotten
few days ago, when in the Cafe of
Hotel Ottens in North Wildwood,
General Vernon H. Ware, L. ). A. re-
tired. of Connecticut, met Colonel John
R. Harrison, formerly G. s. A., of
Tennessee, clasped hands in mutual
old-score forgetting friendship.
General Ware was in the terrible
battle which took place on the Georgia
Central railroad, between Atlanta and
Augusta, and resulted SO disastrously to
the confederate arms. General Phil.
Sheridan commanded the Union forces
and General Ware, then Lieutenant,
was commissioned to destroy the rail
road connections and cut off all COM
munications between Atlanta and the
confederate lines. This, General Ware
finally accomplished successfully, but
not until overcoming bitterly stub
born resistance from Colonel Harrison
and the Southern troops under his
command.
Several days ago, these two brave adj
versares met for the first time since
the conflict at the Hotel Ottens which
has the distinction of entertaining
prominent people from far and near,
and over the glass that cheers two
former enemies went over together the
details OF their first meeting on the
battlefield.
Seldom has the battle been discussed
SO calmly by the Blue and the Gray
The feeling displayed between the two
was touching in its kindness, and the
maker of wooden nutmegs and the
buyer met in absolute, unruffled har
mony.

A practical joker of New York city
tells this story upon himself and de-
clares that the experience cured him of
his bad habit:

spending money, a telegram, with
charges to collect, reading, 81 am per-
fectly we'll"
The information evidently was gra-
tifying to him, for about a week after
sending the telegram an express pack
age was delivered at my room. on
which l paid 81 for charges. Upon
opening the package I found a large
New York street paving block, on
which was pasted card which read,
This is the weight your recent tele-

on October %. Two lower topsails,
forestry sail. mzzen staysail and fore
topgallant sail were slashed into rib

for days. The deck seams opened the
tarpolins over the matches We're wash

below. There was damage done to the
wheel gear. The upper topsail yards
were broken as well as a mainstay.
Rings on the matches were torn out.
The vessel was put about October p
for Port Stanley where she remained
until February 10, about three months
and a half repairing. She has gen

days before that of the earthquake DR..
e. Noble of Honolulu arrived in San

Monday preceding the disaster.
The fire destroyed all DR.. Mobiles

he brought with him, and he is now u

has yet to be accomplished and he asks
that Commissioner Martini COmmuni-

that the italian families may be round

On the Anxious Seat.

BoWbells Tribune: Sheriff y. j.
Lee arrived here from Minot last Sun
day afternoon, Mrs. Lee having ac-
companied him as far as Carpio,
where she left the train and drove
out ten miles east of that place to
visit sister. Shortly before leav-
ing Minot. the sheriff called at one
of the drug stores in the city and
ordered a prescription compounded
for Mrs. Lee, and a little later again
called at the store and was given
a small vial supposed to have been
put up in accord with the formula
he left there. When the sheriff ar
rived here imagine his surprise on
finding a message awaiting him from
the Minot druggist in which it was
stated that the wrong bottle had been
given him for Mrs. Lee, and caution
ing him against having her use it.
Immediately the conclusion was jump
ed at that the drug given him by mis-
take might be deadly poison, and
as natural consequence the sheriff
was almost beside himself for way
to get back to Carpio and out to
where his wife had gone before she
should have taken a dose of the
dreaded stuff. The Burger & In
gram auto was brought in requisi-
ton, however, Mr.. Burger be-
ing called from the Presbyterian
church during the progress OF the
service, and it was not long before
the machine was speeding toward
Kenmare, Charley Telling at the lev
er and Sheriff Lee the anxious lone
passenger At Kenmare the auto
Of John Englund was secured, a
lightning change being made, and the
last stretch toward tn estopping place
of Mrs. Lee was covered at forty
mile-an-hour gait, the sheriff arriy-
ing at his destination shortly after
midnight, only to find that his wife
had taken a dose of the dreaded
drug some five hours previous to his
arrival, but the medicine proved TO
be harmless, the lady having exper-
fenced no bad results. 1T turned out
that the Minot druggist had COM
pounded several prescriptions and
the bottles containing the drugs were
placed on a shelf behind the counter
until called for. Sheriff Lee was the
first to call, and the druggist in his
hurry simply handed him the wrong
bottle. The stuff. as stated, proved
quite harmless, Mrs. Lee was found
to be very much alive, but the pop
ular sheriff is not likely to soon for
get the anxiety of those terrible hours
between the reception Of the message
from Minot and arrival at the home
OF his sister-in-law.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Scores of ap-

the proposed contract for 5000 Chin
ese laborers have already reached the
lsthmian canal commission and the in
dications are that hundreds of persons
are planning to make bids for this con-
tract in the hope of realizing n small
fortune from 1t as several bidders did
on the recent issue of Panama canal
bonds, but prospective bidders with
out extensive financial backing will be
much disappointed when specifications
for furnishing the Chinese are made
public.
1t was required by the commission
that large certified check shall ac-
company each bid. The amount of
this check will probably not be less
than $4,000 and bids not accompanied
by such a guarantee of good faith will
not be considered.
Advertisements for the proposals to
supply Chinese laborers must be pub
lished for thirty days and consequently
no proposals will be opened before
