The Gettysburg Park.

The annual report of the Gettysburg
National Military Park Commission,
which has been issued from the Gov
eminent Printing Office, Is the finest
piece Of artistic work probably ever
turned out by that establishment, and
1T is meeting with much comment from
the press of the country. The Com
missioners, who have issued the work,
are William II. Robbins, Charles H.
Richardson and Col. John p. Nichol-
son. The Inspector-General says that
they have performed their duties most
conscientiously and accomplished d
great deal of good in a few years. The
Government now owns 1880 acres of
land, upon which the main fighting took
place, and has So acres under condem-
nation proceedings The Commission
has decided to secure still another 100
acres in order to preserve the integ-
rity Of the battlefield. This tract was
mainly occupied by the Confederates
with infantry and artillery.

Industrial Workers of the World Say
 Five Thousand Are Out.
 SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Dec. 13.-At a mass meeting here last night in Red Mems hall, which was filled to its standing room capacity, the striking Industrial Workers of the World, who walked out of the General Electric works, gave to the public their story of the grievances which led up to the rupture with their employers.
 The situation shows but little change. The company claims that sew eral score of the workmen have re- turned to their places. The represent atives of the workers organization ad- mitted there had been defection, but declared that not more than twenty men had deserted the ranks of the strikers. Speakers at the labor meet ing declared that fully 5000 men were on strike, although the General Elec- tric officials still maintain that not more than 2,OO0 of their 15,OOO em- ployees obeyed the Industrial Workers summons to lay down their tools.
 The Industrial Workers claim to have a membership here of $500 men. all of whom, 1t was said, responded to the strike order.

 Last summer Mrs. M. Polltx brought from California to Oshkosh, Wis, the charred body of man and buried 1t in Riverdale cemetery in the belief that the body was that of her husband. Re gently she learned that her husband was living on ranch In California. A long distance telephone conversation soon confirmed the fact, and Mrs. Pc litz at once prepared to leave for Stockton.
 The joy of the reunion will be mar red by 8 touch of sadness, for one of their children has been killed acciden- tally since the husband and wife were separated, and anothe5 child. born since then, did not live. Of these things as well as of the whereabouts of his wife Politz was in ignorance. He mourned his entire family as dead. The family lived in an apartment house in San Francisco.

Who can explain or fathom the won- drous instinct of the child? Lying in the arms of it's nurse, in its carriage or elsewhere, it's large, round, wondering eyes roam over sea of faces till sud denly its features break into sweet smile, baby laugh dances in its eyes, perhaps the tiny hands are extended, and the little body gives bound as though it would throw itself through space. What has happened? It has recognized friend, nothing more and no less. It makes no mistake.
