day, the 149th and the 150th charged
upon the Confederate lines and recap
tured two guns that had been lost that
afternoon. Likewise, on the third day
of the battle, the three regiments were
again under fire, being in line to meet
the charge of Pickett's men and to
meet the storm of the artillery fire that
for two long hours preceded the at
tack.
THE GREAT MONUMENT.
Pennsylvania has nearly 1000 dead
sleeping in the cemetery, men who died
gloriousey on the soil of their own
State. While each organization has a
monument on the field, our State, to
commerate all her sons who participat-
ed in the great battle, is about to erect
a stupendous memorial on the field, at
a cost of $3.50, ,000-a double arch tower
ing more than 100 feet in heigth, splen~
did in the beauty of its proportions,
and crowned by heroic stature of
Victory.
In front of the arch will be statues
of Lincoln and Curtin, and around the
base will be 80 bronze tablets contain
ing the names, not only of the organi-
cations, records of numbers present,
the killed and wounded, but also the
name of every man from Penna., who
participated in the battle. So the man
brhind gun; he who carried the musket
will be remembered as we'll as the Off
Ger who commanded and led them.
The structure will be of granite, the
statute of Victory and those of Lincoln
and Curtin will be of bronze.
Four immense bas-reliefs in granite,
9 by IS, over the keystone of the arch,
will show four scenes of the battle, and
will represent the four arms of the SER
vice-infantry, cavalry, artillery and
signal corps.
The commissioners who have charge
of the memorial are ST. Clair A. Mul-
holland, John P. Taylor, Geo. p Mors
gan, Charles F. McKenna, J. @. Slime
man, H. Fl. Cummings, Chas. E. Quail,
E. L. Whittlesey and H. S. Huideko.

The Schwalmer girls also wear white
stockings with the black bows. Their
skirts reach scarcely below the knees.
1t is the fashion to wear several stiff
skirts, which stand out from the per
son much in the manner of the hoop
skirts of our own grandmothers. On
their heads the girls wear Il funny
little pill box sort of hat, to which are
attached broad bands tied under the

A SURPRISING WEDDING.
1t Gave Shock to the Lady Who Was
So Anxious to See It,

An elderly American authoress asked
me to conduct her to Il place where
she could see Il wOrkman's wedding,

writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Gentlewoman. TO obliSe the
lady | took her to the Lac Saint-Far-
geau, an establishment at the top of
the steep Rue de Belleville
1t was still early when we reached
the place. and no brides or bridegrooms
were visible as yet At last two char
a-bancs drove up to the door, and a
noisy company alighted, all smoking
cigarettes, including the bride, which.
shocked my friend exceedingly.
The company then sat down TO
luncheon, and we watched them from
q distance, while n photographer took
up his position near us. The meal did
not last very long and ended in the
bride performing Il jig on the table,
while the guests danced around her
They then started games, hide and
seek, ETC.; and while the bridegroom
had his back turned the bride threw
her arms round the neck of a red hair
ed youth.
This led to fight between the two.
The melee became general, the bride
pulling off her wreath and throwing it
at her father-in-law's head. My friend
looked on in breathless excitement,
while the guests jumped over the ta-
bles and chairs, but when the bride
turned a somersault, alighting on the
bridegroom's shoulders, the good lady's

NEW SYSTEM OF
AWARDING PRIZES.
No County That Has an Ex-
hibit at the 1908 Tennessee
State Fair Need Go Away
Empty-Handed.

Nashville, Tenn, March II, 1908
The plan for awarding the prize
money for the county exhibits al
the Tennessee State Fair next fall Is
the fairest that has yet been tried
Under the scale Of awards as just
completed the counties in the ex-
IRENE eastern and western portions
of Tennessee will have just as good
a chance to get a cash award as will
the counties adjoining Davidson.
Besides $1,000 in prizes for the
four best county exhibits at the
fair, 500 is offered for the best dis
play from each grand division of the
State, and 200 will be prorated
to all counties making any showing
at all.
In this latter contest the money
will be awarded on points. The va
rious agricultural products, the dec
Grafton and the-general arrange
ment will count $500 points, and
the distance from the fair grounds
will count 500 points more. These
points will be divided as follows:
Counties whose county seat is within
a radius of 50 miles of Nashville will
receive 100 points. and 100 points
additional will be given for each so
miles up to the 500 points.
In this way, it is possible for dis.
tant counties to come in and get a
share of the awards under any cir
cumstances. With the knowledge
that they will not go away empty
handed, the county that could not
otherwise afford to get up a credit
able exhibit on account of the dis
lance handicap, can now 90 to the
necessary expense to make a display
that viii have a chance to win the
prize as the best from its section of
the State, anyway, and will be en-
outraged to try to have the best the
best shown at the fair.
Persons interested can get the de-
sired information from j. w. Russ
wurm, Nashville, the Secretary Of
the State Fair.

So Decides Circuit Judge J.F.
Gordon, IN Case at
Princeton.
COMPANIES MUST PAY
For Property Destroyed BY
Night Riders in Spite of
the Clause.

In the important insurance case
at Princeton, to test the "riot
clause" in the insurance policies held
by the Imperial Tobacco Co.on prop
erty destroyed by night riders Dec.
l, 1906, Judge j, F. Gordon has de-
cided against the companies. The
case was argued by Judge Malcolm
Yeaman, of Henderson, for the I'm
perial, on a motion to demur.
Judge Gordon Tuesday rendered
his opinion, sustaining the demurrer.
The principal grounds are that the
mob clause" in excepting the de-
struction of property does not refer
to fire but to loss due to other means,
and, secondly, that the organization
of incendiaries was not the kind con-
templated in the use of the term
mob" or rioters"
An appeal will be taken by the
insurance companies.
The insurance companies assert
that they will cancel all tobacco in
surance in the State if the Court Of
atiirms the decision.

it means that the companies must
