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 man in
gray. Just to be friendly, the Jersey
man stopped him and gave him
greeting. 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were Identical.

When the house OF representative
recently undertook to name a commit
tee Of It's members to represent It at
the reunion Of the blue and gray at
Gettysburg It was found that not q
veteran OF the Civil war sat on the Re-
publican side Of that body The only
Union veterans in the house, three In
number. are all Democrats, and six
veterans Of the Confederate army also
sit on that side. In the senate, how.
ever. there are six Confederate veter
ans on the Democratic side and sin
Union veterans on the Republican side
AS indicating the passage Of time, IL
today in congress more veterans OF
the Spanish-American war than OF the
Civil war. Nineteen members OF the
senate are veterans OF the war with
Spain. One member of the house, who
has not seen war service at all, served
five years In the signal corps OF the
army as a private, and Delegate
Quezon Of the Philippines was a stan
officer under Agulnaldo during the
Philippine rebellion.

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 ia, one;
l. d. Munsee' OF Erie county, Penn
sylvania, soldier In the 111th Penn
sylvania, was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ga,
when he WAS one of Shermans 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 a pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top OF
him.
Seeing his chance OF escape, Mum
see lay very still under the uncon-
scious confederate while the battle
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.
81 thought that fellow was dead"
said Munsee, but | saw him today.
Poor fellow. his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but was sure OF
him. couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goin over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find out who he is"
Ono 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
Boy Scout who had found 1t under
a tree.
Several sets of false teeth we're
found.
A grandson OF Francis Scott Key,
composer Of "The Star.Spangled Ban
ner." is heIe He is John Francis Key,
aged eighty-two, OF Pikeville, Nd, 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.
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

OUT OF PUBLIC
LIFE

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The
curtain has fallen on the political
stardom of more than ZOE members Of
the house. They walked resignedly
across the political stage and toward
the exits which lead to private life.
When the extra session conyenes in
April there will. be 156 new faces in
the lower branch OF congress. Among
the missing will be men who have
been conspicuous on the floor for
many years. The transformation In
the house will be the most complete.
perhaps, in the history of the cour-
try.
There were changes IN the senate
today also. but they lacked the hui
man appeal which attached to the
passing of the old war horses in the
house.
Heading the list OF experienced
legislators who must give way to
novices is uncle Joe" Cannon. vet
