SIDELIGHTS DF GETTYSBURG REUNION
Tho great reunion of the blue and
tho gray on the battlefield of Gettys
burg has passed Into history. It was
In all respects the most unique gath
ering of the soldiers of the CO's ever
held. Men who fought each other
fifty years ago tills year fratomlzed
as long-separated brothers. Naturally
eucli a gathering would bo productive
of many incidents, botli pathetic and
humorous. As ninny stories were
floating about nB there were veterans
at tho reunion.
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 nro commonplace, but
bo mo are extraordinary. For in
stance, here Is one:
I. D. Munsoo of Erie county, Penn
sylvania, a soldier In 'the 111th Penn
sylvania, wns captured by tho con
federates at Peachtreo Creek, Ga.,
when he was ono of Sherman's army
on tho celcbrnted march to the sea.
Ho was bolng conveyed to tho rear
by a confederate soldier when the
union batteries, opened Are upon the
party among whom he was a pris
oner. Tho man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munseo down and lying on top of
him.
Seeing bis chance of escape, Mun
see lay very still under the uncon
scious confederate while the battle
raged around them. That night he
lipped from undor the body and es
caped to the union lines.
"I thought that fellow was dead,"
said Munsee, "but I saw him today.
Poor fellow, his mind's bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but I was sure of
him. I couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goln over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find out who he Is."
Here is a story which wns told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president of tho Read
ing railway:
Onco upon a time thero were a vet
eran In gray and a veteran in bluo.
They enmo to Gettysburg and in the
course of events and visits to hotels
they hnppened to meet. They looked
over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
Tho ono In bluo lived In Oregon;
the one in gray In New Orleans. Thoy
went weeping together to their sta
tion and passed by train nfter train,
deferring the parting that must come.
Just what they said, Just how they
reached tho final grand lden of tho
meeting, Mr. Dice did not know.
But, however, yesterday they finally
decided that tho time for parting had
come. The one from Oregon could
not flguro how to rench home via Now
Orleans nnd his gray comrade, while
willing to see ,ho west, didn't have
the money for a ticket.
They lined upon on tho platform ns
their trains stood waiting and. then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there whllo the curious flocked
to seo them.
The Oregoninn who came proudly to
town with a coat of bluo, wont 'as
proudly away with ono of gray and
tho veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed tho gray of tho south sat with
swelling chest In hU new uniform of
bluo.
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG
A striking contrast Is seen in the
menu provided for tho Boldlers fifty
years ago ni1U what they enjoyed this
year:
18C3 Breakfast Hardtack, bacon,
beans and coffee.
Dinner Bacon, bcane, hardtack and
coffee.
Supper Beans, hardtack, bacon
nnd coffee.
- 1913 Breakfast Puffed rlco, fried
eggs, fried bncon,' cream potatoes,
fresh bread, hard bread, butter and
coffee.
Dinner Fricassee chicken, penB,
corn, Ico cream, cake, cigars, fresh
bread, hard bread, butter, coffee, Iced
tea.
Supper Salmon salad, macaroni
and cheese, fresh bread,, butter and

Chief Clerk George G. Thqrno of
tho state department nt Harrieburg
told of tho call made by a Union vet
ernn early on tho morning of the fif
tieth anniversary of tho start of tho
battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because of tho fnct that
on that fateful morning many years
ago he had succumbed to temptation
and stolen a quantity of onions from
the Thorne garden, which was located
near tho historic Seminary ridge. Ho
told Thorne that ho desired, at this
lato day to pay for tho onions and
thus, relievo his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer of money
was refused, but the Thorneu would
like to learn the Identity of tho 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 tho same name, coming from
towns of tho samo name, but In differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side in tho battle of Gettysburg, and
tho other with the confederates.
Theso two men aro John Carson of
Burlington, N. J and John Cnrson of
Burlington, N. C.
They met by tho mercHt chance.
The Jersey Carson waB walking along
one of the streets, and saw a mnn In
gray. Just to bo friendly, tho Jersey
man stopped him nnd gave hJm n
greeting. It was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were Identical,
as well as tho names of their towns.
A grandson of Francis Scott Key,
composer of "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," is here. Ho Is John Francis Key,
riged cighty-two, of Plkevlllo, Md., and
ho is a veteran of the Second Mary
land Infantry of tho confederate army.
Wearing a suit of gray, Key camo
Into town, weak and almost dropping.
Ho has been in falling health, but de
clared he was "going to seo Gettys
burg on this occasion or die."
One of tho oldest veterans In tho
big camp is Captain W, H. Flolg of
Houston, Texas, who was ninety years
of ago on his last birthday, Fobruary
23. During the war ho served with
distinction In tho marlno department
of tho confederate navy. Captain
Flelg Is ono of tho best preserved
men In camp nnd Is more active than
many of tho other veterans a score of
years less advanced.
Fifty years to tho bout from tho
tlnn when tho Hint shot prvedltifi tho
battle wns llred a leunlon meeting of
thu bluo and the gray van hold In tho
big tent. The gray cavalry men who
fought the skirmishes that led up to
tho three days' light pledged them
selves In the shadows of tho stars nnd
iinpes to "forgot" and their brother
In bluo swore by tho stars and bars
thnt the fight was over for nil tlmo.
There wero several women from tho
vlllngo In tho tent nnd six ono-tlmo
schoolgirls, gray-hnlrcd and aged uow,
Bang "Hally 'Round the Flag, Boys,"
whllo tho veterans wept like boys, but
with pride. Tho bIx women who sang
tho battle song wero among those who
thronged tho Btrcets of Gettysburg
after the advance guard of tho south
ern army left It CO years ago. On tho
night when Buford's men camo rid
ing into tho vlllago on tho heels of
Wheeler's men In gray, maidens strew
ed flowers along tho streets and bells
In tho churchcB pcnled out the news of
tho coming of the bluo and tho town
went wild.
Of nil tho Bcorcs of glrU who wel
comed the vanguard of Moado, only a
hnlf dozen could bo found, nnd thoy
Blood, white-haired with tears in tholr
eyes on a platform In tho.blg tent and
sang to tho weeping soldlcrB In tho
seats below.
"I'm afraid wo can't sing llko wo
sang GO yenrB ago," Bald tho ma
tronly woman who acted as leader ns
she led tho. way up tho steps to tho
platform.
"We don't enro; Just sing again,"
shouted tho veterans. As tho ilrst
notes of tho wnr-tlmo melody came
from them In quavering tones, tho vet
erans both of tho north and of tho
touMt sat (pilot with eyes llxed upon
the singers. Tho hum of tho chorus
enmc from every side, nnd tho old men
wept openly.
Aside from tho old soldiers thorn
bcIvos, an Interesting figure Is Mrs.
Longstreet, widow of tho commnnder
nt tho front of tho Confederate lines
In the third day's battle. Mrs. Long
street walked a mllo through the
broiling buii out to tho old Rogers
houso to Interview General Sickles.
Somo tlmo ago Mrs. Ldngstreet sent
a long telegram as representing- tho
southern veterans In protest against
the old Union veteran being thrown In
Jail In New York because of somo
financial affairs. 1 was said that
Sickles misunderstood tho spirit nnd
his prldo was bo hurt that their meet
ing today would not bo cordial.
v"General, I havo written nn article
about you for publication," said Mrs.
Longstrcet at tho meeting, and hIio
read several pnges of tho highest trib
ute to the old corps leader, whom alio
characterized us having coinu bnck
and being ouco ngnia in tho saddlo.
Half a hundred old Sickles' men gath
ered on the lawn and the reading bo
camo dramatic. General Sickles lean
ed back in his big chair, closed his
oyoB, and looked back to meeting with
Longstreet.
Hero his widow wnB praising to tho
world tho vnlor which Bho claimed had
gone unrecognized by tho government.
Tears flowed down tho Sickles cheeks
now tnnned by his ninety-third sum
mer, and his old followers doffed their
hats and mingled their tears with
those of their old leader, wetting tho
ground upon which long ago had been
soaked by their blood.
James H. Lnnsberry of St. Louis,
Mo., who enlisted In tho Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind., recited to
his comrades tho details, of his cap
ture In tho town of Gettysburg by
Confederntes,50 years ago. Following
the sklrmlBh Just outsldo of town
which marked tho opening of what
was to bo a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in GottyBburg. Whllo In
town frantic women flocked about him
and begrced that ho tell of tho battlo.
Ho remained to tell tho story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days In following the Confederato
army as a prisoner: After tramping
BO mlleB over rough country without
shoes ho succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys
burg, where ho rematned till August
In assisting in the caro of the wound
ed, which wero housed In tho somln
nary, churches, barns and public build
lngs. Ono of the unudvortlsed reunions ol
tho celebration occured in tho coir
federate section of tho camp. A life
nnd drum corps of men In bluo tramp
ed up and down the streets of the con
federate part of tho city of tents.
They stopped before the tents, play
ed such a fanfaro as only drums and
fifes can make, summoned forth tho
occupants and shook hands, throw
their aims about the gray shoulders
and In a dozen other ways showed
their feelings of friendship.
They kept it'up for hours and vis
ited practically every "rob" tout
Their reception was as warm as their
greeting.
Ono of the most Interesting places
In camp wns tho lost and found bu
reau, located under the benches In tho
big tent. Everything found on the
grounds was brought thero and thou
sands applied every day for missing
articles.
Thore were nt least 100 crutchoa
piled up In tlio bureau, dozen or so ap
plIcantB having called for them. Those
who como to redeem their loBt
crutches seldom can recognize them
and most of them go away with some
body olso's.
Thero vwib ono wooden leg also ly
ing unclaimed. It was brought in by
a Boy Scout, who had found It under
a tree.
Several sets of falsa teeth were
found.
CAPTAiN KNEW KiS VISITOR
Alto Realized Thnt Even Supcrdrend-
nought Would Be Imperiled by
Presence of Idiot.
The brnnd-nnw battleship of tho su
penlrondnotight typo had boon thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at tho gangway 'receiving his guests,
prldu and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining in every lineament.
Suddenly bis gazo concentrated upon
an approaching figure. Ills face grow
pale to the lips; ho shook In every
liber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, ho turned hastily to hlB
executive officer.
"Clear for notion, Mr. lllooddlct," ho
cried. "Boat to quarters. Load with
grapo. Order tho mnrlucH to concen
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders." ,
"Ayo, aye, sir," responded tho offi
cer promptly, although thoroughly be
wildered. Tho blood returned to tho cnptnln's
fnco and ho rognlned his composure
ns ho remarked how quickly his or
ders wero carried out, and how they
wore prepnrcd to meet tholr formida
ble foo successfully. When hln eyes
again sought tho object of his fonrs
llo was closo aboard. "llolla.ionp'ii!"
ho cried, a vacuous smile playing
about his wrak mouth.
"Back!" shouted tho captain stci il
ly. "Back, or 'I'll blow you up!"
"Say, enp'n, that'B what ou seem
to bo doln'," responded tho enemy,
giggling.
"Don't you try to sot foot on board
my ship." continued tho captain vehe
mently. "I'm not going to JcopnrdUo
boat, crew and visitors for our pleas
ure." "Oh, aay, cap'n," remonstrated tho
enemy with another silly giln, "don't
ou know mo?"
"You bet I do. You're tho Idol that
rockB tho boat, and ou Bhnll not come
on board mine."
ECZEMA BURNED AND ITCHED
