S|DEuGHTS OF GETTYSBURG REUNION

The great reunion of the blue and
the gray on the battlefield of Gettys.
burg has passed into history. II 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
rs 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
some are extraordinary. For in
stance, here is one:

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 q confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was pris.

Munsee was hit and fell. knocking
Munsee down and lying on top Of
him.
Seeing his chance of escape, Nun.
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.
II 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.''
Here Is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice.president Of the Read
Ing railway:
Once upon a time there were a 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
tion 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 ticket.
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and. then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
OF their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious fiocked
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.

Chief Clerk George G. Thorne Of
the state department at Harrisburg
told Of the call made by 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.

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

They met by the merest chance.
The Jersey Carson was walking along

One OF the Oldest veterans In the

Houston, Texas. who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday. February

distinction In the marine department
of the confederate navy. Captain

OPPOSE PARTISAN
CURRENCY REFORM
Republican Members Of House
Committee Throw Stumbling
Block Before Bill.

Republican members Of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
have thrown another stumbling block
In the way of the Administration cur
rency bill by denouncing the Democrats
for their secret consideration OF the
measure and demanding that currency
reform shall not be undertaken in a
partisan spirit.
The formal action of the minority
members Of the House committee toll
lows closely the futile conference of
Democratic members on Monday last.
Chairman Glass called the Democrats
together last Monday to begin work on
the bill. The recalcitrants declined to
buckle down, and informed Mr.. Glass
that they wanted another week to study
q bill in the preparation of which they
had not been consulted
Consequently there is insurgency to-
day both among the Democratic and
Republican members of the House COM
mittee, and Republican Senators are
daily complaining that they have not
been consulted concerning q measure
which they say should be nonpartisan
one.
The resolution Of protest adopted at
meeting of the minority members OF
the House Banking and Currency Com
nnittee late yesterday was not taken
seriously by Chairman Glass. Mr..
Glass says the Republicans used to
frame their bills behind closed doors.
and he merely laughed at the Repuh-
lican demands for publicity now.
