REDS AND YANKS
RETREAT BEFORE
FIRE OF OLD SOL
Unable to Withstand Hot At
tack, Thousands Are Driven
from Gettysburg.
GENERAL MERCURY RALLIES
NEAR OWN ROUND TOP
Death Rate Is Surprisingly Low
and Number Sick Is
Normal.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 2.-The
tide of invasion turned back from
Gettysburg today and the armies of
the blue and the gray began to melt
away under the compelling influence
| OF torrid sun and the discomforts
of camp life. General Hunter Lig-
gett. U. S. A., in command of the
camp estimated today that more
than 5000 veterans have gone.
Veterans besieged the stations OF
the two railroads in an effort to get
away from Gettysburg as quickly as
possible. Ten thousand or more, il
is expected, will have left before the
close of the day and the movement
homeward tomorrow promises to be
equally heavy.
The old men are foot-sore and ex-
hausted. and while they have no
complaint to make, they are happy
at the prospects of getting home.
The blistering heat is a strong factor
in the getaway movement. which is
as unexpected as 1t is sudden.
The day is the hottest thus far ex-
perienced. There is a prospect OF
rain, which would greatly improve
conditions here.
Most of them have looked over the
battlefield, shaken hands with COM
rades they knew in other regiments,
got another glimpse of their friends,
! the "rebs," and left for home. The
regular army men were not sorry to
see the thousands go, for the camp
was crowded beyond capacity and
hundreds of old men were being
quartered in tents that were made
for circuses. but not for sleeping pur-
poses. Scores slept on the ground,
and although the cooks made
strenuous efforts the mess tables did
not groan with food.
Mercury Goes Toward Round Top.
! There were no other reasons for
army rejoicing today. for all indica-
| hot day. The sun wasn't over the
hills an hour before the mercury was
around the ninety mark and promised

men, but any time there is a pro-
tracted spell scores of real prostra-

.SPEER UNABLE TO
RECALL MULHALL
Judge Says Meeting Was So
Long Ago That He Can
not RecoIIect.

Judge William H. Speer, of Jersey
City, another Jerseyman mentioned
in the letters of Colonel Martin M.
Mulhall, the lobbyist of the National
Association of Manufacturers, whose
testimony Is now being taken before
the congressional committee investi-
eating the lobby at the Capitol, was
seen at the ofnces of the association,
80 Church street, New York, today.
The matters mentioned were so old,
the Judge declared, that he could not
remember the details.
In a letter to Mulhall, James A.
Emery, chief of the lobby of the
manufacturers. speaks of a talk he
had with Judge Speer on the
"Loudenslager situation" Another
epistle of MulhalPs tells of seeing
The Judge about the defeat of Con-
gresham Gardner, of Atlantic City,
when he was up for reelection. 1t
is said that Gardner was opposed
to legislation wanted by the assocla-
tion. When asked about the refer
ences to himself Judge Speer said:
There Is really nothing as far as
print about this Mulhall statement
1t seems to me that many of the
people who have been mentioned In
this affair will be summoned to
Washington to testify before the
congressional committee that has the
investigation in hand. If 1 am re-
quested to testify l will be very glad
to do SO; until that time l do not
care to say anything more about the
matter.
II may have had the talks with
Mulhall and Emery that have been
mentioned in the newspapers, but the
matter occurred so long ago-four or
five years-that 1 cannot recall ex-
actly. There is nothing to deny be-
cause no specific charge has been
made. That's all 1 care to say at
present"

This is a grave. serious matter,
he said, "and the House should pro-

luton covering completely this broad
side charge should be framed"
Republican Leader Mann, in a spir-

that the House proceed at once to

Few People Die of Old Age

From the New York Sun.
Few people die of old age. DIR.
Jacques Bertillon, head of the Paris
municipal departmeft. points out. this
regrettable fact inpN interesting sheet
of statistics compiled from the study
of a mans diseases in relation to his
occupation.
Consumption, as DIR. Bertillon shows,
is most frequent in the liquor trade and
among those whose occupations expose
them to lead poisoning. Next on the
list under the same head come the occu-
pations which entail the breathing of a
dusty atmosphere On the other hand,
consumption is very rare among shop
keepers and all the liberal professions.
Very few farm laborers die of con-
sumption. Cancer is rarest among far
mers railroad men and miners. Cab
and wagon drivers are frequently at
tackled by cancer. This disease is ex-
traordinarily frequent among chimney
sweeps. brewers and the sailors in the
merchant marine, but only the average
number of fishermen die of it. Diabetes
especially abounds among the liberal
professions. Lawyers, doctors, drug
, gists and clergymen are the greast suf-
ferers, and after them come in order
butchers, printers, dyers and CONNER
cial travellers.
The liquor trade Is at the top of the
list in the affections of the nervous
system. If any moral can be drawn
from the above statistics it is that dia-
Detes in Paris is the only disease which
has any pretense to respectability and
that the safest profession of all is that
of a clergyman, for according to DR..
Bertillon clergymen have fewer diseases
and live longer than anyone else.
