our Names Lack AcoIor.D

A new Ulysses would no longer be Laertides. No Peter indicates that he is the son of Paul. A Carpenter or a Weaver is likely to be a lily fingered stockbroker.

In default OF sufficient hotel accommo-

was a natural absence Of some OF

kilkish is now in flames. The Greeks
continue their advance.
Evidences Of Fighting.
IOndon.-Evidence that serious
fighting is taking place in Macedonia
is foun in the arrival Of large num-
bers Of wounded and prisoners at the
various Balkan capitals. but owing
to the silence at Sofia and the con-
ficting sources it is next to impos-
sible to form any accurate idea of
the progress Of the struggle.
There still is reported no formal
declaration of war, and although it
is reported the Bulgarian minister to
Greece has been recalled he has not
departed from Athens.
Premier Venizelos announced in the
Greek parliament that the Greek
forces had won a victory at Kilkish
and captured 60 guns. This appears
to have been gained by the amaz-
ing swiftness o; the Greek advances
from Salonika, which, according to
correspondents, surprised the Bull
garians.
Claim Victorious Advance.
The Servians claim a victorious adj
vance to Kotchana but the Servian
invasion of Bulgaria has been repuls-
ed and Bulgaria, it is reported is
executing a turning movement which
will nullify the Servian advance.
Suspension of judgment regarding
the operations, therefore, is advis-
able. in the absence Of independent
accounts. The reported change in
the ministry at Sofia has not yet been
confirmed. but is regarded as prob
able. -
Roumania has officially proclaimed
the mobilization OF her full strength,
but her intentions are still unknown.
The French government has infor-
mally approached the other powers
with the subject Of obtaining a de-
c~laration of non-interyention. Tho
greatest anxiety prevails in financial
circles at st. Petersburg. where the
report was current that the emperor
had threatened to break Off diplomatic
relations with the Balkan states 4n-
less hostilities ceased.
From Greek headquarters come re.
ports of massacres and outrages al
legged to have been committed by the
Bulgarians in the Nigrita and other
districts ), which, it is said, are st.ewn
with the bodies of victims.

S|DEuGHTS OF GETTYSBURG REUNION

The great reunion Of the blue and
the gray on the battlefield Of Gettys-
fourg 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
nifty years ago this year fraternized
as long-separated brothers. Naturally
auch a gathering would be productive
OF many Incidents, both pathetic and
humorous. As many stories were
Coating about as there were veterans
at the reunion.
The camp Is full OF unexpected
s%neetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
AVE 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

ssYlvania, was captured by the con-
celebrates at Peachtree Creek, Ca.
when he was one OF Sherman's army

by a confederate soldier when the
,lnion batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was a prls-
oner. The man who vas guarding
uns was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on TOP OF
aim.
Seeing his chance OF escape, Nun
see lay very still under the uncon-
sscipus confederate while the battle
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.

said Munsee. but | 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
s r. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon a time there we're a vet
.eran In gray and a 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.
uieferr1ng 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 q ticket.
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
or their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious f1ocked
to see them.

Fifty years to the hour from the
time when the first shot preceding the
battle was fired 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

selves in the shadows of the stars and
stripes to forget" and their brothers

that the fight was over for all time.

Chief Clerk George G.. Thorne OF
the state department at Harris burg
told OF the call made by a Union vet
eran early on the morning of the If
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 Theme that he desired, at this

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. G.
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. It was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their anne were identical,
as well as the names Of their towns.
