DEMOCRATS FOOL OPPONENTS
Time Afforded Democrats to Look
Over Criticism and Check
Up Mistakes.

Washington, July Ex-senator SIM
mons, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, turned a trick on Republican
leaders when he got his hands on
long analysis of the Democratic tar
iff bill which had been prepared UNI
der the direction of Senator Smoot,
showing what the Republicans claim
were serious defects.
Senator Smoot had delayed for a
month the introduction Of the analy-
sis despite Senator Simmons insis-
tence that it be printed. On the last
day of the caucus, when the Repub-
licans were assured that the Demo-
Gratis were through with the bill, Sen
ator Smoot consented to send the
document in for the printer. But the
Democrats have not yet printed their
bill and have a day or two to make
corrections and laugh at their oppo-
nents, inasmuch as debate will not
begin until next week.

Many official Greek dispatches claim
great victory at Dorian, where the
Bulgarians, recently reinforced, were
in superior strength to the Greeks.
The latter assert that whole division
Of Bulgarians was destroyed and that
the Bulgarians fed in such confusion
that they even left loaded guns be-

It is reported from Sofia that the
Tenth Bulgarian division, which rein

Burned Hundreds to Death.
Saloniki-Father Michel, superior
of the French Catholic mission at Kill

committed in that district by Bulgar-

burned to death seven hundred men
belonging to Kirkue by imprisoning
them in a mosque under which they
exploded bombs, setting the building
on fire. They had previously assem-
bled the victims wives and daughters
to witness the spectacle.
Even more terrible scenes were en-
acted at Kilkish, Planitza and Rayno-

Father Michel asserts that among
the irregulars responsible for these
atrocities were business and profess
sional men and students from Sofia.

Wearing a tattered uniform OF
gray, Alexander Hunt Of Virginia was
the central point Of interest on the
streets of the town. Mr.. Hunter was
wearing the identical suit and hat
which he wore at Gettysburg fifty
years ago.
The suit was in rags and has bullet
hole through one of the sleeves. He
carried all his accoutrements used at
Gettysburg and wore union belt
taken from a foe here. Mr.. Hunter
was member of the Black Horse cav
airy.

The great reunion of the blue and
the gray on the battlefield Of Gettys-
burg has passed into history. 1t was
in all respects the most unique gath
ering of the soldiers of the COS ever
held. Men who fought each other
fifty years ago this year fraternized
as long-separated brothers. Naturally
such a gathering would be productive
of many incidents, both pathetic and
humorous. AS many stories were
floating about as there were veterans
at the reunion.
The camp Is full of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
have not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace, but
some are extraordinary. For in
stance, here Is one:
I. D. Munsee of Erie county, Penn
sylvania, a soldier in the 111th Penn
sylvania, was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ga,
when he was one of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by a confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Nunsee down and lying on top of
him.
Seeing his chance # escape, Mum
see lay very still 49, the uncon-
scious confederate - the battle
ragged around them. lat night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.
81 thought that fellow was dead"
said Munsee, "but 1 saw him today.
Poor fellow, his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but was sure of
him l couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goin over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find out who he is"
Here is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon a time there were vet
eran in gray and veteran In blue.
They came to Gettysburg and in the
course of events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
The one in blue lived in Oregon;
the one in gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
ton and passed by train after train,
deferring the parting that must come.
Just what they said, just how they
reached the final grand idea Of the
meeting, Mr.. Dice did not know.
But, however, yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
come The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade, while
willing to see the west, didn't have
the money for a ticket
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd they slowly stripped
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious flocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with a coat of blue, went as
proudly away with one of gray and
the veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed the gray of the south sat with
swelling chest in his new uniform OF
blue.

Fifty years to the hour from the
time when the first shot preceding the
battle was fred a reunion meeting Of
the blue and the gray was held In the
big tent. The gray cavalry men who
fought the skirmishes that led up to
the three days fight pledged them
selves in the shadows of the stars and
stripes to forget" and their brothen>
In blue swore by the stars and bars
that the fight was over for all time.
There were several women from the
village In the tent and six one-time
schoolgirls, gray-haired and aged now,
sang Rally Round the Flag, Boys"
while the veterans wept like boys, but
with pride. The six women who sang
the battle song were among those who
thronged the streets of Gettysburg
after the advance guard Of the south
ern army left it so years ago. On the
night when Buford's men came rid
ing into the village on the heels Of
Wheeler's men in gray, maidens strew-
ed flowers along the streets and bells
in the churches pealed out the news OF
the coming of the blue and the town
went wild.
OF all the scores of girls who well
coined the vanguard of Meade, only a
half dozen could be found, and they
stood, white-haired with tears In their
eyes on a platform in the big tent and
sang to the weeping soldiers in the
seats below.
I'm afraid we can't sing like we
sang 80 years ago." said the ma
tronly woman who acted as leader as
she led the way up the steps to the
platform.
I'VE don't care; just sing again"
shouted the veterans. AS the first
notes Of the wartime melody came
from them in quavering tones, the vet
Grams both of the north and Of the
south sat quiet with eyes fixed upon
the singers. The hum Of the chorus
came from every side. and the old men
wept openly.

Gen. Tom Stewart Of Pennsylva-
mia is telling an amusing story of a
runaway vet" he came across in the
big camp. The veteran is eighty-fve
years old, and his son at home an
nounced that under no circumstances
should his aged parent go to Gettys-
burg. The desire to be here and meet
his former comrades was SO strong in
the heart of the old gentleman that he
climbed out Of window of his home
and ran away, turning up here in good
shape He is now happy and well
cared for.

S|DEL|GH7S OF GETTYSBURG REUNION

coffee.
Supper-Beans, bareback, bacon
and coffee.

Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state department at Harrisburg
told of the call made by a Union vet
eran early on the morning Of the fif-
tieth anniversary Of the start of the
battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because of the fact that
on that fateful morning many years
ago he had succumbed to temptation
and stolen a quantity of onions from
the Thorne garden, which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired, at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer of money
was refused, but the Thornes would
like to learn the identity of the SOL
diers who upset eight beehives in the
dead of night and appropriated all the
honey they contained.
A remarkable coincidence of the
camp was the meeting of two men of
exactly the same name, coming from
towns Of the same name, but in differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side In the battle of Gettysburg, and
the other with the confederates.
These two men are John Carson Of
Burlington, N. j., and John Carson of
Burlington, N. c.
They met by the merest chance.
The Jersey Carson was walking along
one of the streets, and saw a man in
gray. Just to be friendly, the Jersey
man stopped him and gave him a
greeting. 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were identical,
as well as the names of their towns
A grandson of Francis Scott Key,
composer Of "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," Is here. He is John Francis Key,
aged eighty-two, of Pikeville, Md, and
he is veteran of the Second Mary
land infantry of the confederate army.
Wearing a suit Of gray, Key came
into town, weak and almost dropping.
He has been in failing health, but de-
clared he was going to see Gettys-
burg on this occasion or die"
One of the oldest veterans in the
big camp is Captain W. H. F1eig of
Houston, Texas, who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday, February
%. During the war he served with
distinction in the marine department
of the confederate navy Captain
Fleig is one of the best preserved
men in camp and is more active than
many Of the other veterans a score of
years less advanced.

One Of the big events was the
charge of the survivors OF Picketts'
division on the bloody angle"
Under the hot sun the men in gray
marched across the field that had not
seen anything more warlike than a
blacksnake in so years, up to the walls
that form the angle. The enemy in
blue was waiting with weapons ready,
and when they met across the wall
they shook hands. afterward they
looked over the ground for the site CT
a s250,0O0 monument they hope to
have congress erect there.

One of the most interesting places
in camp was the lost and found bu-
reau. located under the benches In the
big tent. Everything found on the
grounds was brought there and thou
sands applied every day for missing
articles.
There were at least 100 crutches
piled up in the bureau, dozen or so ap-
plicants having called for them. Those
who come to redeem their lost
crutches seldom can recognize them
and most of them go away with some
body else's.
There was one wooden leg also ly'
ing unclaimed. 1t was brought In by
a Boy Scout, who had found it under
a tree.
Several sets of false teeth were
found.

James H. Lansberry Of st. Louis
Mo-, who enlisted in the Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details of his cap
ture In the town of Gettysburg by
Confederates SO years ago. Following
the skirmish just outside of town
which marked the opening of what
was to be a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist In car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in Gettysburg. While In
town frantic women flocked about him
and begged that he tell of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days in following the Confederate
army as a prisoner. After tramping
so miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys-
burg, where he remained till August
in assisting in the care OF the wound
ed, which were housed In the semln-
nary, churches, barns and public build
ings.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-07-11

One of the unadvertised reunions OF
the celebration occurred in the con-
federate section of the camp. A fife
and drum corps of men in blue tramp
ed up and down the streets of the con-
federate part of the city Of tents.
They stopped before the tents, play
ed such a fanfare as only drums and
f,fes can make, summoned forth the
occupants and shook hands, threw
their arms about the gray shoulders
and In a dozen other ways showed
their feelings of friendship. u
They kept it up for hours and WIS.,
tied practically every "reb" tent.
Their reception was as warm as their
greeting.

Aside from the old soldiers them
selves, an interesting figure is Mrs.
Longstreet, widow of the commander
at the front of the Confederate lines
in the third days battle. Mrs. Long
street walked a mile through the
broiling sun out to the old Rogers
house to interview General Sickles.
Some time ago Mrs. Longstreet sent
long telegram as representing the
southern veterans in protest against
the old Union veteran being thrown in
Jail in New York because Of some
financial affairs. 1t was said that
Sickles misunderstood the spirit and
his pride was so hurt that their meet
ing today would not be cordial.
General, l have written an article
about you for publication" said Mrs.
Longstreet at the meeting, and she
read several pages of the highest trib-
ute to the old corps leader, whom she
characterized as having come back
and being once again in the saddle.
Half hundred old Sickles' men gath
cred on the lawn and the reading be-
came dramatic. General Sickles lean
ed back in his big chair, closed his
eyes, and looked back to meeting with
Longstreet.
Here his widow was praising to the
world the valor which she claimed had
gone unrecognized by the government.
Tears flowed down the Sickles cheeks
now tanned by his ninety-third sum-
mer, and his old followers dotted their
hats and mingled their tears with
those of their old leader, wetting the
ground upon which long ago had been
soaked by their blood.

been filed with the commission.
That the bond Issue will be made Is by
no means certain Members OF the county
commission are somewhat pessimIstic as
10 the sentiment throughout the county,
and they are not altogether sa tisfed with
the report OF the government expert. The
chief obstacle lies In the fact that +. n
Huddleson, assistant city engineer, re-
ported 20 the commissioners, after check
ing the reports OF the government ex-
pert, that the improvements contem-
plated would cost 100000 more than Mr.

GIRLS OF GRANITE
SOLVE A MYSTERY
Hold Shower" in New Rest Room
and Now Propose to Feed
Mothers.

The girls of Granite have been very
busy for the past two weeks with some
stealthy move that has been a mys-
terry to the other sex until last night,
when they held "shower' in their
new rest room, which they havo just
completed furnishing.
This room was decided upon by the
ladies last year, and it was partly
furnished by the proceeds of their an
nual dance held the same year; but
they were compelled to leave their
work unfinished until they obtained
enough to complete their task through
profits from the dance this year. The
room is handsomely furnished in mis-
sion style oak furniture. with two leath-
er-covered lounges Of the most expen-
sive kind.
Refreshments were served last night
and much of the time was spent III
gossip. Thinking this not enough for
one week, they have made arrangements
for party to be given for all the
mothers who will be able to attend.
A regular dinner will be served by the
domestic science class girls, who will
put on all the fancy dishes they can
produce and "shown their "bosses"
how to cook r. real meal Talks will
be given by Miss Correll Mackey, Pro
fessor A. ID. Bennion and Miss Alberta
McCann. There are to be piano duct
