UNION OF NORTH AND SOUTH
Civil War Veterans on Both Sidei
Disciiia Proposed Organization.
j jjo REAL ENMITY IS LEFT
However, Rolh Grand Jkrsny and Con.
federate Veterans Are Attacked to
Their Oram n I sat Ions and Mlt
Oppose Any Change.
The proposition emanating from Missouri
to effect an organization of all veterans of
tha civil war who fought tinder the Stars
and Stripes or stars and bars Is not by
any means a new thonght There Is much
to be said for and against the proposition,
which Is wholly a question of sentiment
Were the matter left wholly to the acttiat
veterans of the civil war who did the
actual fighting on both sides, sucn art or
ganization would probably have long ago
been effected. However, there are many
men on both sides who whllf they were
soldiers, saw very little hard, active
service, and were either of the exclusive
home guard class whose chief duty was
guarding prisoners of war, botfi noTth and
south, or were, short term men who never
left the borders of their respective states.
As a rule this class of soldiery constitute
the Irreconcllobles and who are still fight
ing the battles of the war at the same
distance from the- firing line that they
were during active hostilities.
The fact Is patent to every veteran who
saw active service that very often during
the war the contesting army lines were
so close together that it was not an un
usual circumstance for the soldiers of both
armies to meet between the lines during an
armistice and exchange good-natured greet
ings, trade papers, and swap sugar and
coriee lor tobacco or other commodities
that the other had not. It was not un
usual for a band of the Union army when
lying close to the Confederate lines to
strike up "Dixie," or "Bonnie Blue Flag,"
and the Confederate band respond with
"Yankee Doodle." "Hall Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean." And then again for
the bands to alternate In playfng "Home.
Sweet Home," or "Old Folks at Home."
Decor tlon of Graves.
Thousands of Instances are known where
years after tlio war the graves of union
soldiers In the south wera decorated bv
confederates, and where confederate
graves in the north were decorated by
union soldiers. An Instance of this
kind annuallly occurs at the burying
ground near Camp Chase (Columbus, O.)
Camp Chase was one of the leading con
federate prisons of the north, and several
hundred confederate soldiers died while
prisoners of war there. A special burial
ground was set aside for them, and it was
always given and Is to this day the most
reverent care. The graves are annuallv
decorated with flowers on Confederate
Memorial Day by detachments from the

What Leaders Say.
This matter has been called to the
tentlon of both union and confederate at.

representative veterans of both sides fol- i

favor of such an organisation and have ad- t
voeated It heretofore. But the only ground
upon which such an organisation could be
successfully based, would be as a historical
society ' for the purposs of perpetuating
the real history of the war between the
states by men who were actual participants
In the struggle. There are thousands of in
cidents of the most Intense interest that
should be perpetuated before the actors
in inem nave passed away. These inct- t
dents could by such, an organization as Is
proposed from Missouri be given a new
meaning and Interest as told from different !
view points. It has been my aood fortmiA
to have known of J,ust such cases since the
war. I could tell of many Instances of a
deeply pathetic nature that have corn

radeship between the Bouthern and north,

had been captured by Crocker s brigade

LFLORIDA'S SEA-GOING TRAINS
Novel Railroad Over the Florida Keys
Will Be Opened la Jam.
nary.
The announcement, was made In New
Tork last week by representatives of
Henry ii. Flagler that the ocean going
railroad Which he is building from the
Florida mainland to Key West will be
opened to traffic as far aa Knights Key,
lot miles south of the Miami, on or about
January IS neat, and that steamers will
be put In operation from that point to
Havana. This decision to open the road to
traffic for the greater part of Its course
a yaar ahead of tbe time set for the final
completion Is Mr. Flagler's reply to thj
reports that the building of the road has
been given up.
This railroad novelty Is tha hobby of
Mr. Flagler, one of the original Standard
Oil kings. It Is not expected to earn great
dividends, at least not for many years.
It is practically a one-man concern and
part of the Flagler scheme to tnHke sub
tropical America easily accessible and com
fortable. His strong string of Florida
hotels bave never paid more than per
cent on tha Investment and it Is probable
the "sea-going" railroad will be no more
profitable. Mr. Flagler, who had to seek
the mild climate some years ago, con
ceived the Idea of making It easier .for
Jthers to do so. He has, however, se
riously shattered his health by overwork
on this rsilrosd project and is trying to
erunerate In New Hempehlre.
"Tha road has not been abandoned and
there Is no Intention of si.antoiitiig It,"
said Vice President J. It- Parrott, who Is
In general charge of the construction. "On
the contrary, we expect to have trains run
ning as far as Knights Key, with steam

Key, which Is to serve as a temporary
terminus of the ocean extension, is about
two-thlida of the sy from Miami to Koy
West. The opening of this section of the
line to traffic does not, mean, however,
that onl ytwo-thlrds of the work Is com
pleted. Fully W per cent of the land
work between this point and Key West
is finished. Nor is it true that any engi
neering difficulties hsve been encountered
thst only two-thirds of the work Is corn
lower part of the extension Every engi
neering problem connected wltn tho build
ing of the viaducts that will carry the
line over tha open water sections on this
portion of the route has been met and
solved In building ths part of the road
already finished.
"Most of the material required for the
completion of the ocean line has bon
delivered and paid for. It is not true
thst the cost of the road thus far hss
greatly exceeded the estimates, as has been
reported. The road has been built within
the estimstod 'cost, and while It is impos

tween 8,000 and 4,000 men employed for the
last two years, differs Irt many respects
from any railroad ever before built. For
more than a hundred miles it runs prac
tically at sea, following the line of the
Florida Keys from the mainland to Key
West. All of the machinery employed had
to be mounted on floating barges and the
workmen were housed In floating dormitor
ies on some sections of the work. All the
supplies used were transported from the
mainland and a largo fleet of vessels waa
employed In the construction. The, road
Is reported to have cost nearly 100,000 a
mile to build. It will shorten the Journey
between the United 8tates and Havana by
from ten to twelve hours, and with the
Inauguration of car ferries from Key Wost
to the Cuban capital when the road Is
completed It will establish an all-rail route
between thla country and Cuba. Pittsburg
