THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
National Lawmakers in House and Senate Who Fought
On Different Sides During the Civil War.

Alabama, Senator Johnston of Ala
bama, Senator Bacon of Georgia, now
acting as presiding officer over the
senate; Senator Thornton of Louis
lana and Senator Martin of Virginia.
The senators who upheld the cause
of the union are Senator du Pont OF
Delaware, who has magnificent war
record behind him; Senator Knute
Nelson of Minnesota and Senator
Warren of Wyoming. 1t is perhaps
significant that there are more men
in the senate today who opposed the
union than there are men who up
held it, 1t is an indication of how
completely the two sections are unit
ed.
In the house the men who were
confederate soldiers are Representa-
tives Taylor of Alabama, Rucker of
Colorado, Estopinal of Louisiana,
Talbot of Maryland, Stedman of
North Carolina and Lamb of Virginia.
Those who were union soldiers are
Representatives Thistlewood of Illi-
nois, Bradley of New York, Sherwood
of Ohio and Bradley of Kentucky.
Among the senators and represent
atives who fought for the union there
are three who received medals from
congress for conspicuous bravery in
battle. They are Senator du Pont
and Representative Bradley of New
Jersey and Senator Warren of Wyo-
ming. Representative Sherwood of
Ohio was specially recognized by
President Lincoln for his distinguish
ed services.

BULLET TRAVELS IN MAN.
Blood Stream Carried 1t From Center
of Heart to the Leg.

Blood Stream Carried 1t From Center
of Heart to the Leg.
Bullets sometimes travel in strange
ways once they get into the human
body An unusual case is reported
by DR.. R. Rubesch, says the New
York Press. A young fellow shot
himself in the heart with a cheap
pistol of rather small caliber, but felt
more pain in his leg than in his
breast. Gangrene of his leg set in,
but cure followed at last after the
leg was cut off. Although the bullet
went right into the big blood cham
Der of the hearts very center strange
to say the heart itself gave no thoub-
lie. The bullet stopped for a brief
second inside the heart, the circulat-
ing blood stream Immediately carry
ing the bullet out of the heart into
the great blood vessel in the trunk
on to the big artery in the leg. There
the bullet stopped, something like a
fish from the reservoir getting into
the small water pipe and clogging it.

CHRISTMAS DAY IN BETHLEHEM

VT this season of the year prob
IA ably no city of the ancient
world presents a more pic
= turesque or attractive aspect
than Bethlehem, whose population is
many times multiplied by the pres
ence of vast army of pilgrims from
every part of the globe. Mecca in the
height of the great annual Moslem in
f1ux, or Hurdwar in upper India. at
the season of the sacred festival, may
have much greater but they cannot
be said to have more devout or more
cosmopolitan crowds than those that
flock to the city of David in the Christ
mas week. Shaped wonderfully like
a crescent, yet the only thoroughly
Christian town in all Syria, Bethlehem
puts on its gayest garb as Christmas
approaches At all times a pretty and
attractive place, it is then thousand
fold more so. The thrifty townspeo-
pie. their handsome wives and dark
eyed daughters, prepare for the festiv-
tiles weeks in advance and are ready
to welcome the first arrivals.
No words can adequately describe
the grandeur of the Christmas services
at the Church of the Nativity, which
is the center of interest for the pill
grims. These services are kept up the
entire week. On the way to church
the visitors are beset by peddlers, who
insist on pushing under their very
noses little ornaments of olivewood

More potent than all the talk about
the union of the North and South
than reunion between union and con-
federate veterans is the fact that in
the United States senate there are
five memb ers who wore the gray and
three who wore the blue; in the
house of representatives seven VINO
wore the gray and four who wore the
blue, and in the house IA men, some
from the North and some from the
South, who served under the Stars
and Stripes in the war with Spain.
Side by side these 10 veterans OF
the civil war fought on opposite sides
in the great struggle, and many OF
whom were wounded, not once but
many times, work diligently to trans
act the vast business of a reunited
nation and with them work the IA
younger men who saw service in the
first American war to follow the great
struggle of the SOS. Altogether
there are 33 men in the senate and
house who have been to war.
The life stories of some of these
men who fought in the civil war read
like a history of that mighty strug-
gle. One or the other of them was
in almost every important battle of
the war, and some of them served on
opposite sides in the same battles.
Then they crossed swords across the
trenches; now they lock intellects
across the committee table.
The senators who fought for the

81 CASES OF PELLAGRA?
THAT is THE REPORT MADE
FROM WASHINGTON.
Public Health Department Gives Sta
tist'tt, local Physicians DO
Not Agree.


tist't., Local Physicians Do
Not Agree.
A dispatch from Washington to
the Atlanta Constitution gives Chas,
H. Lavinder, surgeon connected
with the United States health SER
vice, as authority for the statement
that there were in Georgia 1852
deaths from pellagra in five years
from 1907 to 1911. inclusive.
In an effort to get reliable Stats
tics on the occurrence and results of
this malady cards were sent to doc
tors throughout the South. Just
how incomplete the statistics he
gathered are may be inferred by his
having received 735 replies from
3,O22 sent to Georgia. Out of 49,
463 sent to eight Southern states he
got back 1857 answers.
Terrell county is credited with 81
cases, but on this there is a wide diff
ference of opinion by local physi-
clans. Three of the most prominent
doctors of the city, each of whom has
an extensive practice, inform The
News that they have known only two
or three cases of the disease in this
county since it first began to attract
attention On the other hand,
another well known physician says
he has not treated less than rs cases
of pellagra. He agrees, however,
that there is very little of the malady
in the county now, not exceeding -four
or five cases.
The number of cases reported in
other counties of this section by the
Washington dispatch are: Calhoun
6, Clay 4, Dougherty %, Early "a,
Lee 8, Miller 4, Quitman SO, Ran
dolph 80, Stewart 10, Sumter %,
Webster 4 and Worth 16.

tains much of its original form and
character In the side aisles at diff
ferent affairs priests chant the service
in> tones that swell and die amid the
tall columns that support the roof.
At the shrines groups of pilgrims
kneel in reverent alteration, while still
other groups are guided around the
church by monks, who point out the
rich relics and sacred places, the most
venerated of all being the shrine of the
manager, beneath the church, which, il
is claimed, incloses the actual birth
place of the Saviour. During the
Christmas festivities this manger
shrine is resorted to by great multi
tudes, who crowd each other in their
pious eagerness to kiss the marble slab
on the floor with a silver star in the
center
So fervid and enthusiastic are these
worshipers that the marble slab has
been repeatedly kissed away in places,
rendering a new slab necessary. The
same experience has occurred with the
stone covering of the crypt in the
Church Of the Holy Sepulcher in Jeru-
salem, which has had to be renewed
several times in consequence Of its out
er surface being literally kissed away
by pious devotees. The tradition is
that Christ was once laid in this man
ger. A few feet distant is the chapel
of the Magi. where the wise men of

came worshiping with rare gifts.
A subdued, rich light Is diffused
throughout the grotto by the softly
glowing lamps over the star, and the
swinging censers lend an agreeable
odor to an otherwise close and musty
atmosphere. All worldly thoughts are
banished as the kneeling pilgrims lis
ten spellbound to the melodious chant
of the sacred Office or the full, sturdy,
noble singing of the grand looking,
bearded priests. The low roof, the
''living rock the censers, the music,
the lights, all seem to dissolve, and in
their stead there appear to the moist
eyes of the adOring pilgrims the man

and the gentle, wondering sheep.
The Christmas festivities, however,
are not confined to the Church of the
Nativity. The week is a general festi-
val in the town and a season Of finan-
cial harvest for its citizens. Like all
orientals. they are thrifty to avaricious-
ness. and the sight of the splendid gifts
that are brought year after year to the
church and especially the Grotto chap
ell. by strangers from afar widely ex-
cite their cupidity. Among those thou
sands that are living temporarily in

natural influence that seems to pervade
