OLD FOES AT GETTYSBURG.
Survivors Of Pictett's Charge Meet
Philadelphia Veterans.


Philadelphia Veterans.
After forty-three years survivors of
General George Il. Pickett's division
and the Philadelphia brigade met last
September on the spot where the world
famous charge was made on the third
day of the decisive battle Of the civil
war. The brigade was composed Of
four regiments of the Pennsylvania
volunteers, who assisted in fighting of
the charge, and one feature of the day
was the return by veteran Union men
to their former enemies of the sword
Of Brigadier General Lewis Addison
Armistead, which fell from his hands
when he was killed just as he reached
the cannon of Gushing.
Although the survivors of the famous
charge on both sides were aged and
bent, they went over the ground of the
battle with the enthusiasm of youth
and the return of the sword started
many a train of Renaissance of the
man who had waved it..
General Armistead was the son of
Major General Armistead of the Unit
ed States army and went to West
Point until he smashed plate over
the head of General Jubal A. Early.
He was appointed a second lieutenant
in the army in 1889 and served
throughout the Mexican war, where,
at the battle of Chapultepec, he was
breyetted for gallantry in action. He
was captain when the war began,
but Immediately resigned to become
colonel of a Confederate regiment He
was promoted to brigadier general In
1862 and added to Pickett's division.
In the famous charge the four regi-
ments commanded by General Armis-
tead occupied the center, and when the
fatefuI orders were given they went
forward, Armistead leading. his hat
held aloft on the point of his sword
Although a hundred guns cut down
more than two-thirds of them, while
the musketry of the infantry protected
Cemetery hill with screen of death,
Armistead went up. He was the first
to leap the stone wall on the top of the
hill, with "Come on, boysw and had
one hand ON the muzzle Of one Of
Cushing's cannon when he received
his death wound. It was at the same
moment that Gushing himself was
killed
The sword after the war went to
Philadelphia, where it remained all
these years until in the era of good
feeling it was resolved to return it,.

Few generals were so beloved and
revered by their soldiers as Stonewall
Jackson, the great Tanker" was by
his His simplicity, strength, daring,
skill and indomitable will endeared
him to his troops, while his successes
reused their admiration. Whenever
great cheering was heard in Jackson's
camp those who were detained from
being present at the occasion would
say, Here comes either Jackson or an
old rabbit!'
At one time when Jacxson's camp
was on the southern bank Of the Rap
pahannock and that of the Federals on
the northern bank of that river a
friendly Intercourse, not only confined
to the exchange of coffee and tobacco,
existed between the outposts of the
two armies, and friendly greetings
were often exchanged across the river.
One day when Jackson rode along the
river and the Confederate troops ran
together, as was their custom, to greet
him with a yell the Federal pickets
shouted across the river asking what it
was all about. "Stonewall is comingr'
was the reply, and Immediately, to
Jackson's astonishment, the cry .Hur-
rah for Stonewall Jackson rang out
from the Federal RANKS Thus the
voice Of north and south, prophetic OF
time OF renewed unity, mingled in

SOLDIER" BORE "a CHILD.
Romance of Andersonville Prison just
BROUGHT to LIGHT.


Discussion of the movement toward
erecting a monument to Captain Hen
ry Wirz, who was commandant of the
Andersonville prison, has brought a
hitherto unpublished story to light.
The relator Of the story, resident
of Americas, Ca, often visited the
prison, where her husband was doing
duty for the Confederate government
Upon one of her visits Captain Wirz
said that he needed her assistance.
He conducted her to small tent just
outside the prison stockade. Within
was woman-a Federal prisoner with
day old babe in her arms, while by
her side sat her husband, also a pris-
oner
The woman, in male attire, had been
brought to the prison pen few days
before The captured party, including
her husband, were Ohioans. and when
surprised by the Confederates she
hastily donned suit of her husbands
clothes in order that they might not be
separated.
When the real situation had been dis
covered the day previous, through
statements made by her husband, Cap
tain Wirz had the couple hastily re-
moved to the tent outside the prison,
and there the babe was born.
In the visitor the poor woman found
friend. She quickly returned to
Americas and secured for the mother
and babe necessary clothing and medi-
cine and such food and comforts as
her then limited means allowed. Soon
thereafter the Ohioan, his wife and
babe were sent away from the prison.

BULLET, NOT CONSUMPTION.
New Jersey Veteran Carried Lead In
Lungs Forty Years.

New Jersey Veteran Carried Lead In
Lungs Forty Years.
A violent fit of coughing, physicians
say. recently saved the life of Caleb
Muir. veteran of the civil war, residing
at Four Corners, near Plainfeld, n. ].
Muir's case probably is without paral-
lei in medical records. For thirty years
or more Muir has been pointed out as
a victim of lingering consumption"
His death was expected at any time.
Grownup men had heard when they
were boys Muir was in the firm grasp
Of the dread disease.
But Muir lived on. Three weeks ago
he had one of his sinking spells" ac-
companied by violent fit of coughing.
Muir coughed up a lead bullet weigh
ing half an ounce.
The veteran has fully recovered and
says he never felt better in his life. In
three weeks he has gained eight
pounds For thirty years doctors had
been treating him for consumption.
The bullet in Muir's body is one of
three received when he was with the
Union cavalry under General Philip
Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley. He
was shot in the body three times, the
bullets entering near the lungs.
After being wounded he was taken
to a hospital in Washington, where two
of the bullets were removed, while the
one which he has coughed up was over
looked by the hospital corps. Chicago

When the legislature gets together in
June to act on bills vetoed by the Cover
nor, the Senate is going to try to butt in
to the legislative Investigation now being
prosecuted by the House. Inasmuch as the
Senate was invited, and not only refused
to join, but sneered at the whole affair as
being unnecessary when Republicans were
in Office, we think the House will be iusti-
fed in keeping on as it started. 1t is pretty
well settled that the Republican Senators
knew. of some of the glaft that has been
uncovered, when it declined to assist in the
inquiry.

The Legislative Investigation.


The legislative inquiry into methods Of
the departments already partially investi-
gated leads to the conclusion that Republic
can officials viewed the State of New Jer-
sey as a patient COW, that they could milk
with impunity A summary of last FRI
days investigation is given in the follow
ing paragraphs:
Quartermaster General G. Edward Muir
ray and County Clerk G. II. Baker, of
Trenton, and numerous other Republican
leaders, members Of the senate aud assem-
blymen, receive high priced quail, for which
the state has paid, from the state fish and
game commission whenever they request
them, to stock their farms.
The president-secretary- treasurer of the
fish and game commission, receives $4,000
q year in counsel fees from the pound net
fishermen, whose interests are inimical to
those Of the state, whose interests he is
sworn TO protect.
The fish and game commission purchased
an expensive typewriter ont of state funds
for the personal use of one of the COM
missioners.
Commissioners Morris, the Pooh Bah Of
the commission, doesn't know whether
quail are migratory or not.
The launch Protector of the fish and
game commission, is the pleasure boat Of
state officials
State Treasurer Daniel S. VOORHEES, has
sstaken caren of bank ia his home city,
and practically admits that for political
reasons be intends 'sto take carer Of every
bank in Morris county, by depositing with
them state funds. State Treasurer Voor-
bees also holds the Office of clerk of Morris
county, and is clerk of all that county's
courts.
The state board of arbitration, as it is
operating at PRESENT, is useless-C Commits
sloner Garrabrants, of the state board of
arbitration.
The state sewage commission, composed
Of five members, should be reduced to
three, and thus save the state $4, 500 year
in salaries. IL would be good scheme to
abolish the commission, and merge is with
the state board of health. Former Com
missioner Hunt, resigned.
The Office OF Passaic valley sewage COM
missioner was established presumably to
Greats office for Republican 'faithfuls."
Commissioner Percy H. johnson, Of the
fish and game commission, padded his ac-
counts. He charged the state hundreds, if
not thousands, of dollars for stenographic
work never done.
The fish and game commission employ
stenographer regularly and another fire.
quently; another enthusiastically. And
still the commissioners and game protector
charges items of $50 or whereabouts, almost
monthly for stenographic work"
Trenton hotels are high priced. 1t cost
Protector James Fl. Stratton $50 to stay in
one of them oyer night. At least, SO his
expense accounts show.
The fish and game commission pays out
large sums for a lobbyist on fish and
game measures.
New Jersey pays more than $1,70O for
8, 500, 900 shads' eggs, while Pennsylvania
pays $35 for the same number. New Jer-
sey pays large sums for freight on the fish
that furnish these eggs. 1t requires 70
shad to furnish this amount of eggs. They
could be carried in large basket. It costs
the state hundreds Of dollars for trans
portation.

How Williams Got a Gift.

In the last century there lived in a
western village gentle old man sub
sisting on a meager salary. One day
he learned that his brother had died in
San Francisco and left him fortune
of many millions. The transition was
staggering. especially SO since it was
followed by shower of appeals for
money from every quarter of the globe
and from persons known and unknown
to him.
His son, who acted as his secretary,
noticed with regret that the father
seemed unable to grasp the meaning
Of his new power and was glad to
have him at last evince little inter
est in one Of his begging letters. 1t
