DELAWARE VET
PLEASED WITH TRIP

Although many of Delaware's veteran
soldiers who went TO Gettysburg on Mon
day last to participate in the semi-centen-
nidl anniversary Of the turning battles Of
the Civil War have not returned home,
those who have returned tell interesting
tales Of the trip made in the interest Of
peace. With one accord they all admit
suffering from the heat, but the vets from
the Diamond State have been lucky as
none has been reported sick and all are
having a &C time.
Among those who returned home is j.
E. French. sergeant of Encampment No.
"a, Union Veteran Legion Sergeant
French served in the three days battle
on the historic field with the Fifth Mas
sachusetts Infantry.
In speaking of his visit this week TO
the field Sergeant French said the treat
ment accorded the men was all that
could be desired and that when the Del
aware veterans arrived at the grounds
at midnight on Monday, they were as
signed places to sleep at once. The next
day, after a hearty breakfast, the Della
ware veterans went to Little Round Top,
where they had figured in battle in the
days of '0l-'65.

PINK SLIPPER
ADDSEXCITEMENT
TO STEAMER JAM

There was some excitement on
Fourth street wharf before the last
boat left last night for Philadelphia.
A daintily dressed young woman,
gowned in pink, from her hat down,
caused the commotion. The heel Of a
pretty pink slipper she wore caught
In plank and presto. the shoe was
off the foot
To go home minus a slipper was
not to be heard of perhaps they cost
q little more than ordinary shoes. At
any rate the owner made enough
noise to excite the crowd and at first
many thought some one hahd teen
hurt. People we're wedged at wharf
like sardines in a can and to get down
on the floor to search for the slipper
would have been suicidal. There was
nothing for the young woman to 10
but wait until the crowd had gone on
the boat. An employe OF the COM
pany then rescued the slipper. It was
somewhat soiled by the kicking
around it received, but aside from this
was good as new The young woman
hastily pulled the slipper on her
shapely foot and proceeded on the
boat.
