Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state department at Harrisburg
told OF the call made by Union vet
eran early on the morning OF the If
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 a 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.
A remarkable coincidence Of the
camp was the meeting of two men of
exactly the same name. coming from
towns OF the same name, but in differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side In the battle of Gettysburg, and
the other with the confederates.
These two men are John Carson of
Burlington, N. j., and John Carson Of
Burlington, N. C.
They met by the merest chance.
The Jersey Carson was walking along
one Of the streets, and saw q man in
gray. Just to be friendly, che Jersey
man stopped him and gave him
greeting. 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were identical,
as well as the names of their towns.
A grandson Of Francis Scott Key,
composer of The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," is here. He is John Francis Key,
aged eighty-two, Of Pikeville, Md, and
he ls veteran of the Second Mary
land infantry OF the confederate army.
Wearing a suit Of gray, Key came
into town, weak and almost dropping.
He has been in falling health, but de-
clared he was going to see Gettys-
burg on this occasion or die"
One Of the oldest veterans in the
big camp is Captain ". H. Fleig 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
Fleig is one of the best preserved
men in camp and is more active than
many of the other veterans score OF
| pears less advanced.

Aside from the old soldiers them
selves, an interesting figure is Mrs.
Longstreet, widow of the commander
at the front of the Confederate lines
in the third days battle. Mrs. Long
street walked mile through the
broiling sun out to the old Rogers
house to interview General Sickles.
Some time ago Mrs. Longstreet sent
a long telegram as representing the
southern veterans in protest against
the old Union veteran being thrown in
Jail in New York because of some
financial affairs. 1t was said that
Sickles misunderstood the spirit and
his pride was so hurt that their meet
ing today would not be cordial
General, have written an article
about you for publication" said Mrs.
Longstreet at the meeting, and she
read several pages of the highest trib-
ute to the old corps leader, whom she
characterized as having come back
and being once again in the saddle.
Half hundred old Sickles' men gath
cred on the lawn and the reading be-
came dramatic. General Sickles lean
ed back in his big chair, closed his
eyes, and looked back to meeting with
Longstreet.
Here his widow was praising to the
world the valor which she claimed had
gone unrecognized by the government.
Tears flowed down the Sickles cheeks
now tanned by his ninety-third sum-
mer, and his old followers dotted their
hats and mingled. their tears with
those of their old leader, wetting the
ground upon which long ago had been
soaked by their blood.

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
the 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 flocked about him
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 tramping
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
ed, which were housed in the semin'
nary, churches, barns and public build
ings.

The Star, it must be remembered, is
owned by former Senator Smith, and he
is reported to be very much in favor of
nominating acting Governor Fielder.
James Nugent is Senator Smiths right
hand man and it was through his in
fiuence and by his consent and advice
that the Essex member of Governor
Fielder's campaign committee was
selected. The latest remarks by the
Newark Star follow:
Now that former Governor Stokes has
definitely decided to be a candidate for
Governor in the Republican primaries,
which means his nomination, the Re
publican campaign assumes shape and
form and the party interest is focused on
standard bearer. In 1904, when candi-
date for Governor, Mr.. Stokes received
231 1858 votes and a plurality of 81, 644.
Wilson's vote for Governor in 1910 was
2,319 greater, while his plurality was
l ,5S8 less. For President last year Will
sons vote was SO, 074 less than the vote
for Stokes in 1904. The figures are
significant of the personal strength of
the candidate whom the Democracy will
face in the coming campaign. The fact
that as Governor Mr.. Stokes not only
made good, but initiated important re-
forms and revolutionized the states rail-
road tax system, must powerfully operate
in his favor in campaign in which he
will present the progressive policies of
the advanced element of his party"

Non A F1ELpER WALKovER.

Governor Fielder is not to have walk
over in the contest for the Democratic
nomination. Katzenbach is not neligi-
BILE factor in the situation.
The enthusiastic reception accorded
the Mercer man in Camden and in Bur-
lington counties, where he has made
speeches, gave the Fielder men a slight
shock.
News comes from Ocean county that
Katzenbach is the favorite there, while
up Sussex way old-line Democrats have
warm spot in their hearts for the man
who made the splendid fight of 1907 and
who would have been nominated again
in 1910 but for the strong-arm work of
Smith and Nugent in behalf of Wood
row Wilson.
A considerable number of Democrats
think that Wilson, after profiting by
the questionable methods which de-
prived Katzenbach of the nomination in
1910, might have helped to right mat
tiers by supporting the Mercer man this
year.
They resent the use of the great in
fluence and power of the presidential
office against Katzenbach and in favor
of rival candidate. Close observers of
the political situation say that while it is
true that the Office-holding, lick-spittle
element is making a loud noise and
climbing up on the Fielder band wagon,
there is very friendly feeling for KATE
enbach among the rank and file and
that these silent voters will make their
strength manifest on primary election

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILA.
THE CITY,
This week the Orpheum Players at
the Chestnut Street Theatre. Philadel-
phia, will present Clyde Fitch's famous
drama, THE City," This was the last
play written by the celebrated playwright
just before his untimely death. 1t en-
joyed a remarkably long run in New
York City, and was afterwards presented
in Philadelphia to capacity houses. 1t
will be given by the. Orpheum Players
with the full strength of the company,
and will undoubtedly be one of the most
important productions of the year. 1.-THE
City" derives it's name from the fascina-
ton which a metropolis eXerts upon
those who live in small towns in the
country. In great speech in the third
act the leading character tells of the lure
of the city. The chief characters are a
conservative old banker, his young and
ambitious son, his two daughters and
his wife. All the members of the family
except the banker wish to go to New
York City. The conservative old gentle
man, however insists that the average
American family is much better off in
small community. In the bank is a
young clerk named Hammock, who fig
ures prominently in the story by black
mailing the banker. Years ago the
banker had become infatuated with a
young woman, the boys mother, and by
using this knowledge Hammock drives
Rand to the point of nervous prostration.
After dramatic scene in the first act, the
banker dies of heart disease, and this pre-
pares the way for the remainder of the
family to go to New York City, where
they are shown comfortably established
in the second act. The knowledge that
Hammock has learned of the bankers
early life leads young Rand to continue
looking after him. There is a great
dramatic climax in the middle of the
second act concerning Hammock, but it
would not be fair to the patrons of the
theatre to reveal just what this situation
is. 1t was one of the most talked of
scenes in recent years and Fitch was
strongly criticised for daring to devise
such an incident. THE City," will be
staged by Harry Andrews, who becomes
the permanent stage director of the Or
pheum Players for the fall and winter
seasons. Mr.. Andrews is an accomplish
ed and talented director, who has been
on the Pacific coast for the past six years
as a stage director of some of the biggest
stock companies in California. This
season he has been stage director of the
Columbia Theatre, Washington, and
comes to the Chestnut Street Theatre
direct from that theatre. In 1.-The City,
Mitchell Harris will have the role of the
young man from Middleburg who comes
to New York.
