HUMAN INTEREST
Side OF REUNION
AT GETTYSBURG

The observance of the fftieth an
hfversary of the battle Of Gettysburg
was replete with interesting incidents
and prolific of tales both humorous
and pathetic. The gathering from all
parts Of the country of the survivors
of the blue and the gray on the bat
tlefeld OF the greatest contest of the
Civil war was sure to abound in touch
ing scenes and incidents. The limits
of newspaper space will only permit
of telling a few of the best of them.
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

Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state depar tment at HaHisburg
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 Hateful morning many years
ago he had succumbed to temptation
and stolen 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.

One Of the most interesting places
in camp was the lost and found bu-

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 cone to redeem their lost
crutches seldom can recognize them
and most of them go away with some

When the house of representatives
recently undertook to name a commit
tee of its members to represent 1t at
the reunion of the blue and gray at
Gettysburg it was found that not a
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 six
Union veterans on the Republican side.
AS indicating the passage of time, it
is remarkable fact that there are
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 saen war service at all, served
five years in the signal corps of the
army as a private, and Delegate
Quezon of the Philippines was staff
officer under Aguinaldo during the
Philippine rebellion.
