Vulnerable were the incidents, both
pathetic and humorous, which marked
the great reunion of the Union and
Confederate veterans on the Gettys-
burg battlefield. Concentrating the
flftieth anniversary of the most stub
bornly contested battle of the Civil
war, fragments of the hosts which
faced each other in that conflict gath
cred to renew old acquaintances and
to recount the deeds Of other days.
Here is 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
ton 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

They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious flocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with a coat of blue, went as

James H. Lansberry OF st. Louis,
Mo. who enlisted In the Third indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details of his cap
ture in the town of Gettysburg by
Confederates so years ago. Following
she skirmish just outside OF town
which marked the opening OF what
was to be a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in Gettysburg. While In
town frantic women Hooked about MIN
and begged that he tell of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
DAYS IN following the Confederate
army as a prisoner. After tramplng
so miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys-
burg, where he remained till August
in assisting in the care OF the wound

With BLUE AND GRAY AT GETTYSBURG

The camp is full of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
have not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace, but
some are extraordinary. For in
stance, here is one;
/. d. Munsee of Erie county, Penn
sylvania, a soldier in the 11lth Penn
sylvania. was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ca,
when he was one of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was a pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top of
him
Seeing his chance of escape, Mum

slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.

said Munsee, but / saw him today.

didn't recognize me, but / was sure of
him. / couldn't even get his name, but

There were at least 100 crutches
piled up in the bureau, dozen or so ap-
plicants having called for them Those
who come to redeem their lost
crutches seldom can recognize them

body else's.
There was one wooden leg also ~

Tonight! Take a
 ''Cascaret" Sure
No Headache, Sour Stomach, Biliousness or Constipation
 By Morning

Turn the rasca1s out--the head ache. the biliousness. the indiges- tion. the sick, sour stomach and foul gases-turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upse: stomach.
 Don't put in another day of dis treSS. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg ulate your stomach; remove the soup, undigested and fermenting food and that misery making gas; take the ex- cess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the censtipated waste matter and poison in the in testines and bowels. Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight. will surely straishten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head. sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love to take Cas- carets because they taste good-never grfpe or sicken.

AUSTRALIAN SfGHS
 FOR OLD FIGHTERS.
carsIake Accounts Ancient Ring Pres tige of Antipedes-Abeut Due for Another Champ in His Ooinion.

T would like to see Australia sene over one more high class fighter tt this country says Brownie CarSlake the Australian motorcycle ch hampion.
 You know Australia some years ago turned out wonderfully gooC crop of fighters. They came over tC this country in the late '8Gs and early '90s. and tkey more than held their own with all corners in this country and England. Among the fighters have in mind was the great colored heavyweight, Peter Jackson, who, in the opinion of Australians, was the best fighter in the history of the game. Then there were Bob Fitz- simmons. the best of his weight ever produced in any country; Jim Hall, a wonderful fighter. who died the other day; Dan Creeden. Tommy Tracey, Frank Slavin, Joe Goddard, Young Grsffe, Australian Billy Murphy, Jerry Marshal, Jimmy Anthony, Jim Barron and others.
 They have not developed any great fighters there in late years. am at a loss to understand it. They have the material over there, and the opportunity, for they are allowed to engage in twenty round fights there, and they have every opportunity to pra ctice.
 T suppose one reason for the caro- ity of great fighters in Australia Is the lack of 6 great teacher with an individuality of style such as the fam ous Larry Foley, the man who tu- tored Jackson. Fitz and the other old timers had. Then. too, they are not permitted to do any infighting ever there and when they come here they are at sea and fall easy victims to the American fgh ters.
 But I can't help thinking that Australia is pretty nearly due to turn out another world beater. I am anx- iously awaiting his advent, for it will be a big boom to the game in the An tipodes.
 e-I noticed that the Australian fight CTS of recent years have developed great left hands. but they have neg 1ecfed to cultivate a, knockout punch in the right. In this respect they have been outdone by the Americans. And I think the English fighters have the same feeling"

Evers Going Some.

Esvers. in spite of all the dopesters who have declared he would not zba able to show as well this year because of the burdens of managing, is show ing as much speed and pepper as ever he did, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. He has been doing a lot of work on the training trip because he felt it was necessary for him to do every thing he asked of his men, He might have taken it & little easier and saved some of the weight that he accumu- lated during the winter, but he will soon be down to his old weight, no doubt, after the opening of the sea- son. The pitching department is still the only weak spot on the team. It is stronger than it was last year, for the reason that the men who were good last year should be better this season, and there are one or two of the recruits who are showing up we'll There will be no star on the staff that will stand out head and shoulders above the other men, and that is just what Evers wants. A Mordecai Brown of five years ago now would make the Cubs" a championship team that could well be depended on to pull down another four-league pen nant and couple of world cham piOnShipS.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN UNCERTAIN TONE Foreign Markets Were Strong, But Domestic Influence Weakening.

New York March 20.-Under the play of opposing influences, the stock market moved in an uncertain way to- day, and the session ended with prices little changed. Foreign markets were strong and there was decided upward pull on this market from abroad. On the other hand, the domestic influence was weakening. These cross currents unsettled the market.
 News of the fall of A drianople and the assumption that the end of the Balkan war was measurably nearer found response in the London mar ket where Americans were marked up considerably before the opening here. Although this market did not respond fully to the rise in London there was a general advance, which was stim- u1ated by liberal buying here for for eign account London took 25,000 to 30,0O0 shares here
 The list did not long hold at the opening level, as stocks were offered in large amounts on the advance. In ad- dition to realizing sales there was con- siderable bear selling, based on reports Of enormous damage to property, par ticularly that of the railroads in the food-stricken district. The list was forced well below yesterdays close. In the late session. however the market rallied. There was some short cov- erfng on reports that estimates of the flood damage had been greatly exag- gerated.
 More February railroad reports were made confirming first impressions that the figures were less striking than those of January, for which month large gains were reported from all sec ttons- Southern Railway reported a decrease of $500 in net. Union Pa ctfc's gross earnings increased S276,- 900 but gain in expenses cut the net increase to S42O0O

WESLEYAN FIVE CLAIMS
 CHAMPIONSHIP HoNoRs
Basketball Team Met But Two De-
 feats in 16 Games.

|s The Wesleyan university baSketba five has completed & season which Is only surpassed in the history of bas- ketbaIl at Wesleyan by the unusually brilliant record of the team of last year. Last winter the qaintette went through the season without defeat The present schedule wass much more difficult than the preceding one. and the five met with two reyerses. The Connecticut college was among the strong claimants for the cham pionshi , last year, and again the red and black has a strong hold on the high henors Iii only one of the games lost. that outplhyed. and the Nutmeg staters had already given the, orange worse than they had to, take.
 The team this year. with one excep- ton, was composed of men who had all been members of the championship five last year. Last season Petigrue was merely a member of the squad. In the games on the present schedule he showed much better form and was the only man, save Captain Parkinson, to appear in all the games. On the othe. hand, Crane, who showed up well as Q member of the championship five and who was chosen as AH-New Eng land guard. fell off in his work, and his playing in many of the games was below that of his teammates The year of playing together stood the men iii good stead. They passed well, and played to formations in 8 clever man. ner, which accounted for many of the large scores they ran up. All being veterans, there was no room for the petty rivalries which often spoil q teams play. and the five worked as a unit
 The record of the games so far this season follows:

 The se1ni-fna1 between Young Cor bett and Collins was a lively go of six rounds, with something doing all the time. The only knockdown was scored by Corbett in the third. Both boys were willing to mix it up and their work won the enthusiastic approval of the fans. The go was a. good draw
 The main bout was another eve-4 thing and was filled with action from the first bell. The boys milled in fast style for ten rounds, both proving clever.
