PENNSYLVANIA TO PAY
TRIBUTE TO WAR HEROES
Name of Every Man From Keystone State Who Fought
at Gettysburg to Appear on Monument.

On the most superb Of all natural
settings for a battle-ground Gettys-
burg, revered above any other field
that has been fighting In the new
world, a new monument is to arise.
It has been somewhat tardy in COM
ing, for the deeds 1t commentaries
have been notable in the nations his
tory for more than four decades.
The Keystone state has not been
overhasty in paying tribute to it's he
roes of that memorable conflict that
really decided the Civil war, but II
there has been some delay it is to be
atoned fer in one Of the most superb
memorials that ever rose above a
scene of lofty achievement.
Perhaps Pennsylvania having the
battlefield within its borders and be-
ing to some extent its custodian, has
chosen to show difference to other
states by giving way to them in re-
spect to the erection of monuments.
Already nearly every state that had
soldiers in the mighty engagement
that turned back the forces of the

paid it's need of gratitude.
Fought on Their Own Soil.
Now comes the keystone state.
Four thousand of its men with their
life blood hallowed the sacred ground
to which Abraham Lincoln in the
greatest speech yet made by an
American made such impressive ref
srence in the famous Gettysburg adj
dress. 1t was fitting that the Key
stone state should have had more
troops engaged in the battle than any
other commonwealth, for Philadelphia
and all the cities between there and
the scene of the fight would have fall
en- into the hands of the ~Confederacy
had the issue been otherwise than ii
was.
Eighteen states defended the north.
ern colors, and Pennsylvania was far
ahead, not only In numbers of men
engaged, but in the percentage o.
those who were killed.
The historian, William f. Fox, in
his book, New York in the War;
says.
"The percentage of killed in the
soldiers of the Keystone state was
greater than the quota of any other
northern state. This high percentage
OF loss In battle was largely due to
the fact that nearly all of the Penn
s~ylvania troops served in Virginia
where the territory was better con
tested and the war more prolonged
Then again the Pennsylvania regi
ments were second TO non They
saw plenty Of hard fighting, and their
total losses in action exceeded the
cavalry losses of any other state"
This was the kind of material with
which Pennsylvania went into the
great conflict on the first three days
of gully, 1863.
Had Nine Generals in Battle.
In the battle there were eighty-six
Pennsylvania organizations, sixty-nine
of infantry, ten of cavalry and seven
batteries of artillery.
Meade, Reynolds, Hancock, Birney,
Gregg, ~Pleasanton. Humphreys, Glib
bon and Geary. Many of the brigades
were also commanded by some of our
state: Fisher, Huey, Irwin, Gregg,

Candless, Kane, Vincent, Wister, Bid

Miss Haug, principal OF the public

OF a peculiar accident, from which
she narrowly escaped with her life.
The janitor did not appear at the 40
eastomed time and Miss Hang herself
decided to ring the school house bell.
She had not pulled the rope more than
a few times beore thief heavy bell
which In some manner had become un-
fastened from its moorings, fell with
a crash down through the belfry, strik-
ing only a short distance from her.
Had the heavy bell struck her on the
head she would have been killed. As
1t was, her only injury was the severe
blistering of her hands, due to the
speed with which the belLrope was
pulled through them while the bell
was falling and before she could re-
lease herself from the rope.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR MOTOR CARS

Automobile makers and dealers are
Ia all kinds of trouble. In 1895. or
thereabouts. when the bicycle craze
was at its height, every factory equip
ped to make sewing or other light
machines embarked in the Bicycle busi-
ness, while lots of other companies es-
tahHshed new plants and also went
into the business OF making bicycles.
The result was an overstocked market,
many more bicycles than were buyers
and the bottom fell out OF the business
From Sl25, at which price many Of the
leading makes OF bicycles held for
many years, the price steadily de-
clined until makers were glad to un-
load at less than the cost Of manu-
facture. At present S35 will buy about
as good a bike as there is made.
This year the makers Of automobiles
are i'm a still greater quandry. but from
an exactly opposite cause. The bicycle
makers in 1895 made more bicycles
than they could sell. the automobile
makers have this year sold. by far.
more automobiles than they can make.
Everye automobile factory seems to be
pushed TO it's limit to fill orders Many
of the factories have huge. additions
