The Clue From the Tracing.

The mark on his palm is clear proof
that when the powder suddenly descend

hand on that letter, and the perspira-

of the scrawl upon which it rested. How
did I know through that scrawl that /
was really on the track and that it was
the Bareva reef that was at the bottom
of the whole game? My dear Mr., Mar

explaining that. All you have TO do is to
turn that tracing upside down and either
look through it oc at it in a mirror,

The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Gra-
ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double
day, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and
Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men. On the Con-
federate side Generals Semmes, Pen
der, Garnet, Armistead, and Barks-
dale were killed, and Generals Kemp
er, Kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and
Trimble were wounded. The entire
Confederate loss is estimated to have
been nearly 10000 men.
The third days fight at Gettysburg
was a victory for northern arms, but
it was hard won fight and the con-
flict reflects luster today upon the
north and the south. Lee led his
army back southwark, later to con-

The Union guns at one time ceased
firing, and It is said that the southern
commander thought they had been
silenced. and then It was that Long
streets men made an assault and
Pickett's men made their charge. The
former generals objective was Big
Round Top, but his forces were driv-
en- back. Picket formed his division
In brigade columns and they moved
directly across the fields over fiat
ground. They had no cover and they
had no sooner come into effective
range than they were met by such
storm Of shot as never before swept
over a field of battle.

which is In any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100, 900
men in the Confederate forces at Get

Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. As It was

divided In strength.
In June, 1868, General Robert e.
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state Of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit Of the Con-
federates If 1t was attempted.

Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early OF
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town Of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his

Hooker and General Hallock dis

u. S. SUPREME COURT.
Leased Property Not Subject to tho
Corporation Tax.

The Supreme Court of the United
States sitting in Washington, ID. g.
rendered an opinion which will lead
to the relief of hundreds of corpor-
ations from paying the Federal cor
poratiOn tax. The gist of the Opln-
ion is that corporations leasing all
their property and having no in
come except that yielded by the
lease, are not doing business and
therefore not subject to the tax.
This phase of the corporation tax
arose in the case or Minehill and
Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company
once operating a railroad in Penn
sylvania, now leased to the Reading.
About 800 claims involving about
100000 paid into the treasury under
the corporation tax act, turned up
in the decision in this case. Besides
the many railroads leasing their
property in similar way, nearly
100 telegraph companies are said to
have leased property to one Operat-
ing company.
Justice Day announced a dissent
ing opinion, in which Justices La
mar and Hughes cOncurred, holding
the company was doing business.
This opinion was rendered Monday.

General Buckner Ninety Years Old

With a number of relatives and
intimate friends as his guests, Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckncr on Tuesday,
April 1, celebrated his ninetieth
birthday anniversary at Glen Lily,
his celebrated country home on the
Green River, about eight miles from
Munfordsville, Ky. General Buckner
has the distinction of being the only
remaining corps cOmmadner on the
Confederate side. He graduated from
West Point in f8i8 and saw active
service in the war with Mexico. In
the early part of the civil war, after
he had surrendered Forts Henry and
DOnelson to General Grant, General
Buckner was taken prisoner and
sent to Fort Warren. In 1862 he
was exchanged and placed in COM
mand of division in Hardee's corps
in Bragg's army. He was made a
major general and distinguished
himself at MurfreesborO and Chic
amauga. In 1887 General Buckner
was elected Governor of Kentucky,
and in 1896 he was candidate for
Vice President of the United States
on the ticket headed by Gen. John
M. Palmer of Illinois.

il the sentiment which has been
aroused by the Allen eases bears the
fruit indicated at this time. It is
believed that IS per cent of The peO-
pie of the State are against capital
punishment as inflicted by the iuries
IN the Allen cases, because of the
alleged injustice of permitting the
two men to go to the electric chair
when all ofethc six were equally
culpable. AT least 100000 people
urged the Governor to give to the
father and son the same punishment
meted out to the others.

The Spread Of Commission Govern
mpnt


The idea of the commission form
of government is spreading daily,
and is now attracting the attention
of the large eastern cities. Next week
Jersey City will have an election to
determine whether its citizens de-
sire this method of conducting their
municipal affairs. That city is very
close to New York, and their ship
ping interests are identical, as their
harbors are located in the same
stream.
A short time ago the New York
World said: IF any disinterested
citizen should ask why commission
form of government would not be
good for New York, it would be diff
ficult to know what to answer him.
Trenton and Passias already have
commission government, and should
Jersey City adopt it, Newark is
likely to follow, owing to its prOx-
unity to the other two cities.-New
Orleans States.
The system is excellent, but its
success is dependent on the COM
missioners. The failures, which are
few, can not be charged to the sys-
tenn, but where there have been
failures the system is at discredll
and suggests a return to the mayor
and aldermanic form of municipal
government.

NcHrOeS In Office.

Washington National Republican
With an average of thirteen appll-
cations for every one of the 10000
positions within his gift, President
Wilson is now sOrely beset, and the
most clamOrOus are said to be the
negroes, who want reward for their
hard work in bringing over the col
ored vote to the Democrats. Presi-
dent Taft gave the negroes about
forty appointments, and the Demo-
cratic negroes insist that they must
have at least that many, if not more.
Inasmuch as the Southern senator's
have always fought again the con-
firmation of negro appointees in the
South and where the sentiment
there against them is SO strong, it is
not likely that any of these will be
repeated. This narrows the i'm
portant appointments very materi-
ally. President Cleveland was Sc
verely censured for appointing a
negro recorder of deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia, and his first ap-
pOintment failed of confirmation.
Under the Republican presidents a
negro has had the important posi-
ton of registrar Of the treasury, and
the coIored politicians insist that
one of their race shall receive this.
It is questionable, however, if this
claim will receive much considera-
tion. The best appointment is that
Of Minister to Haiti, which pays
$4,000 year. This, it is probable,
President Wilson will cOncede to the
colored politicians. The post of Min
lister to Liberia pays 5000 year,
but it has one drawback. Usually
the middle-aged cOlOred man who is
appointed dies within few months
after he takes up his residence at
Monrovia. The deputy register and
auditor of the navy, the collector
of internal revenue for the Second
District of New York and number
of consular places have usually been
given to negroes, but it is hardly
likely that they will receive these
places in face of the intense press
ure that is being made by white
men.
