6TH CGffPS AT FORT STEVENS
Member of Ird Vermont Relates 8omi
Personal Experiences Notables
Wlti eased Fighting.
Tho nrtlclo published recently In
regard to placing n Inrgo stono at
Fort Stevens ns n memorial to tho
battle of .July 12. 1864, cnlls to mind
Rome personal experiences there. An
a member of tho old Vermont brigade
I had beon nil through tho strenuous
cnmimlgn from tho Wilderness to
Petersburg, and wab several weeks on
that line, when on July 9 we had or
ders to move to City Point. This we
found to Include tho whole Sixth
Corps, or nt least what had not al
ready gone. Wo marched In tho night
a distance of about fourteon miles,
then took transportation to Washing
ton, nrrlvlng on tho 11th, writes
George A. Farrlngton of Company A,
3rd Vermont, of Elgin, 111., In tho Na
tlonal Tribune.
General Early had been sent Intc
Maryland to creato a scare, so as tc
compel General Grant to weaken hl
line In front of Petersburg, and this
force had already arrived at tho line
of forts nround Washington. As w
inarched through the city tho citizens
were much relieved. As wo passed ur
Seventh street wo were welcomed It
a truly friendly manner, and th
Greek cross never looked so good bo
foro to nny people.
General Gordon has said: "On Julj
tl, 18G4, tho second clay after tho bat
tie of Monacncy, wo wrm at the de
fenses of Wnshlngton. We were
nearer to the nntlonnl capital than
any armed Confederates had ever
been, and nearer to It thnn and fed
eral army had been to Richmond. 1
myself rodo to a point on those
brenstworks at which there was no
force In sight. Tho unprotected spnee
was broad enough for tho easy pasBngo
of Early's army without resistance.
Undoubtedly we could have marched
Into Washington, but In tho council
of war called by General Early there
was not a dissenting opinion as to the
Impolicy of entering tho city."
After the Sixth Corps had taken a
position and had time to get ready a
strong line waB moved forward short
ly after 4 o'clock, July 12. and a
Bharp fight took place, In which the
Union loss was 280 and the loss on
the other side was about the same.
It Is said that this battle took place
In the presence of a more distinguish
ed group of spectators than witnessed
any othor action of tho war. Presi
dent and Mrs. Lincoln, Secretary Stan
ton and other members of the cabinet
and several ladles camo out to Fort
Stevens during tho afternoon to seo
some nctual fighting, and Mr. Lincoln
remained during tho action. I chanced
to bo In tho lino a few rods to tho
left of Fort Stevens, and know when
Mr. Lincoln was there, but I did not
nee him. Wo were nil busy wntchlng
the effects of the Inrge shells from
the fort nnd expecting to bo ordered
forward at any moment.
This battle wns tho flrst of tho cam
paign In tho Shenundoah valley,
which culminated nt Cedar Creek un
der Gen. Sheridan. After tho work
was dono in tho valley wo returned
to tho llneB In front of Petersburg,
and well do I romember the trip from
Harper's Ferry to Washington on a
cold winter night on a platform car.
In tho morning wo were covered with
about six Inches of snow.
TO BUY ANTIETAM LANDMARK
9unkard Church on Battlefield May
Sold to Government to Be Used
for Office.
It Is now said on good authority
that the United States government Is
desirous of acquiring the old Dunkard
church on Antletam battlefield, and
that the war department will use It
as an office. If It can be purchased, ac
cording to the Baltimore News.
The church is a small, rough cast
structure, built In 1851, and it Is lo
cated along the Hageretown and
Sharpsburg turnpike, near Bloody
Lane. It Is still used for services by
tho Manor congregation, Church of
tho Brethren, nnd the congregation
wishes to dispose of tho property.
Tho title to the church, however,
Is complicated, as tho deed or gift for
tho slto irom Samuel Mumma provid
ed that it be used by tho Church of
tho Brethren to erect a house of pub
lic worship thereon and hold therein
their services. Any deviation from
this purpose would, In the opinion of
lawyers, cause title to rovert to tho
Mumma helrB, who aro numerous and
scattered.
The Maryland monument Is near
the church, also those of Indiana,
New Jersey and tho Philadelphia bri
gade. Colonel's Wife.
Colonel Yergers wife was a con
stant source of embarrassment to him.
Colonel Yergor once gave a dinner
party to a few select ladles and gen
tlemen. Of course, he was called upon
for an after-dinner Bpeech. Colon
Yerger got up and began:
"Ladles and gentlemen, unprepared
as I am being wholly unprepared to
make a speech not having expect
ed" Thero waB a painful silence,
which was broken by Mrs. Yerger.
"Why, Colonel, you knew your
speech perfectly this morning."

Models of black cuarmcueo and
skirt and transparent waists.
FOR DAY OR EVENING WEAR
8mart Coat That May Be Made Up In
Black 8atln or Other Materials
to Suit the Taste.
This Is an extremely smart coat of
black satin; tho style is one, however,
that may bo copied quite well in pop
lin, Shantung or flno cloth, nnd is
sultablo for day or evening weur. Our
model Is lined throughout with black
mervo, which has tho advantago over
a colored lining that It looks well with
a dress of any color, and is really bet
ter style for day wear. Tho right
front is braided at edge with silk
braid, and Is lightly draped up at low
er part under a handBomo passemen
terie ornament. The collar and cuffs
are both at edge.
The hat has a crown of dark mauve
straw, with a brim of lighter shado;
It Is trimmed with a wreath of mixed
(lowers.
Hessonlte.
Hossonlto might bo' a new discaso
or a now fad, but It's simply a new
shado and It's named for tho Grand
Duke of Hesso. Tho shade, which is
neither distinctly rose nor amethyst,
but a blending of tho two, Is found
chiefly In tho seml-preclous stones of
translucent composition and brilliant
luster such as aro used far necklaces,
chains and lorgnette holders, as well
as for hatpin tops and toilet pins of
a minor character. Hessonlte, con
sidered as a color, somewhat partakes
of tho futurists Idea of shado blend
ing, for tho roso and the amethyst
tones so melt Into each other that It
Is impossible to say which one has tho
stronger characteristic.
Silks for Wraps.
Moire silks are one of tho accepted
novelties for wraps, combination pur
poses and for garnitures. Brocades
and matelasses in variety are being
largely used for outer garmonts, com
binations, trimmings, and confidence
is expressed in an increased distribu
tion during the forthcoming fall sea
son. Plain and printed chiffons are
ataples.

COLORED FOOTWEAR IN VOGUE
Black and White Combinations Still
Popular, Though Not In the
Latest Style.
Great attention is paid to footwear
by well drcsBPd women at present.
The most dressy styles aro tho sandal
effects with and without buttons. High
button boots havo sandal strap open
ings, and low shoes In sandal strap
stylo aro In tho button form.
Low-cut slippers aro laced In sandal
fashion with ribbons or leathor straps
across tho Instep, and fasten around
tho angles. Sometimes tho strapping
la simulated by an openwork design.
This gives to tho slipper a more per
manent shapo nnd outline than if tho
straps were fastened at will when the
shoo is worn.
Lace shoes in English stylo havo tho
vamp of tho shoo in black leather,
with n tan or blcgo cloth top, which
Is trimmed with strips of brown leath
er. Those strlpB cover tho Instep and
tho back seams of tho gaiters. If
u shoo Is made In a brown leather
with a brown cloth top theso llttlo
strips or bands aro In black to afford
a contrast.
Black and whlto combinations In
footwear coiitiuuo to bo popular, In
splto of tho fact that colors aro tho
newest featuro In costumes. Black
patent leathers with whlto undressed
leather tops, both in high button aud
In low button shoes, aro much worn.
A vory smart model has a gaiter Inset
of whlto silk rubber, over which tho
InBtep pleco of whlto leather fastens
with impression snap buttons.
ARTISTIC EFFECT IN FLOWERS
Each Woman 'Must Study for Herselt
How Best to Achieve the De
sired Results.
Roses are best for evening wear.
Even if thoy are buds do not wear
three or four of them, as that would
spoil the artistic effect. Select one
bull-blown crimson roso, or a delicate
yellow one if you are dark haired, and
tuck it into the coll of your hair, allow
Ing it to neBtlo close to tho ear. A
pink roso will look well in tho golden
hair of tho blondo girl. Some blondes
may wear a yellow rose with good
effect.
Tho smart way to wear flowers on
tho tailored suit It Is to attach them to
tho left lapel of tho tailored coat Vio
lets look bust worn near the waist line
Just a llttlo to tho left sldo, and tied
with soft, narrow, shaded violet satin
ribbon.
Tho girl who Is ,Just now wearing
quaint fischus and has a fancy for
parting her hair in tho middle and
dressing in a picturesque stylo may
wear old-ttmo garden flowers with ar
tistic effect. Thoy should bo mado
into small bouquets and fastened to
tho chiffon scarf or tho dainty mull
ilschu, or a bunch of loose flowers
may bo worn at tho corsago. Yellow
daisies gracefully arranged, make an
attractive corsage bouquet.
A pretty custom is to wear one
flower which becomes associated
with your personality. Not every
girl can afford expensive Jewelry, but
she can always havo flowers,
Rich Ribbons.
The characteristics of the new rib
bons aro richness of coloring and very
largo, bold patterns. Largo designs,
popples and orchlda and roses are
typical. In the velour ribbons dark
floral effects will be especially in fa
vor. Molro brocaded ribbons, with
floral backgrounds In rich tones, too.

waa a dry scale on top covering tho

wero falling off the Itching was moro
than I could stand at times. The first
year I did not mind It so much ah it
was only itching very badly ut times,
but tho second year it advanced all
around my leg nnd tho Itching wns
terrible. I had to be very enreful to
havo my clothing around tho affected
part very loose. At night time I often
happened to scratch tho soro In my
Bleep. Then I had to stand up, get out
of bed and wnlk the floor till the spell
was over. ,
