. PICKETT'S FATAL CHARGE.
Was It Ordered by Lonestrcct or Leo ?
What tho Formar lias to Say on tho
Subject.
Megargee, In the Times
Ever since the suppression of the re
bellion, historians have differed as to
whether Lee or Longstreet was respon
sible for the disaster at Gettysburg, the
friends of each claiming the otlier was
to blame. I was present on the scene
of the great battle, a few years ago,
when the jrreat soldiers, both Union
and Confederate, who had mingled In
that bloody fray met there again for
the first time since the memorable
events of thirty years before. Long
street made Httle concealment then re
garding his contention that It waa Lee
who ordered the disastrous Pickett
charge and lost the day.
On that occasion many errors of his
tory were recorded. The frulde.who di
rected the movements of he distin
guished party adopted a. bola move to
surprise Longstreet Into a declaration
of his feeling on the subject. Said he,
standiing ibertde the Confederate
leader, who held a sound-gathering
hand to his dulled ear: "When the
flower of Virginia's chivalry, Pickett's
division, arrived on the night of the
second day. General Lee determined to
employ these fresh troops to make an
assault the next day on Cemetery Hill
under cover of a terrlffo cannonading
by General Alexander's guns, while an
assault In the rear was to be mnde nt
the same time by General Stuart's cav
alry, who !had been sent around to
the left for that purpoe. It Is gen
erally believed, General Longstreet,
that he ordered th!3 In the face of your
protest: that he commanded Pickett to
take this commanding position occu
pied by the Union troops."
L.Tngstreet's face glowee! with sur
prefsed excitement. In a voice that
showed no quaver of ngp, and at the
same time striking forth with his right
arm as though he would pmlte a foo,
he cried out: "He said. "We'll strll:o
them right here. We'll strike them
right here.' " And with a repetition of
T.ee's words the arm. again shot forth.
The guide told how Pickett's men had
marched to their death across the
wheat field. .
"What is the distance from here o
where they emerged from the wcoda?"
a'sked Longstreet a'bruptly.
"Exactly one mile and ia quarter,"
was the response.
"Ah!" exclaimed the veteran. "Lee
said before the charge that the dlstan-e
was 1,410 yards. I raid It WB3 a mile.
I was nearer right than he. In all hli
tory prior to that time there wcro never
charges of a greater distance than COO
or 700 yards. The n there was never be
fore a charge of such length."
APPOINTED BY LIXCOLN.
An Intorottlna F.plsndo in tho Caroor of
Wisconsin's Governor.
The presence In Philadelphia recent
ly of Governor William H. Ppham, of
Wisconsin, enabled the Inquirer to tell
this Incident In his career. Mr. Up
born enllutcd as a stripling at the out
break of the war, was shot through the
lungs at Bull Hun and left for dead on
the Held. . His funeral sermon was
preached In Racine, and he was
mourned as the state's first martyr.
But although he had a hole In his
breast that let daylight through, he did
not die. He languished In Llbby, and
when finally exchanged went to Wash
ington. He walked up to the White
House and naked to see President Lin
coln. The president saw him and asked
about his wounds.
"Take off your coat!" he salel.
Off came the coat.
"Take off your shirt," said tho pres
ident. Off came the shirt nnd the president
looked at the scar, which was as large
as a saucer. After saying some nice
tilings, President Lincoln sold:
"My boy, what can I do for you?"
"Send me to West Point," said tho
younster.
President Lincoln walked down to
his elepk and took a bundle of papers
from It, and said with a sigh:
"My dear boy, therp Is Just one va
cancy, and here Is a list of 1,600 young
men, backed by all that is Influential
In peilltics."
Young Upham went away disap
pointed and reappeared to his family
as one from the grave. A few weeks
later he got his appointment to West
Point, much to his surprise. In speak
ing of it President Lincoln said that
a boy who had gone through what
he had nnd was plucky enough to nsk
for an annolntment without any back
ing would make a good soldier. Mr.
Upham remained In the service until
about 1S70, one of bis classmates be
ing Captain Charles King, the novelist,
and now his adjutant general. He
went Into the woods nnd started n
sawmill, and, In twenty-flvo years has
hiillt undone of the Pnst plants In
tine cnunl'try-. IHe. and his brother are
probably the largest Individual land
owners In the state. His sister, Mrs.
A. J. Peavey. is superintendent of In
struction In Co'orado, nnd the leading
Republican polltlcan of her sex in that
state.
Governor TTphnm was elected' last
year by the largest majority ever given
sny candidate for the ofncp, over
George W. Peek,, humorist, who had
served two terms.
WORSE AND MOKE OF IT.
From an Exchange. ' '
No limit 'has ever been found to the
uses of a small boy's pocket. One day at
school a little clrl put up her hand to at
tract attention.
"Teacher, Johnny's got a catorolllar!"
Johnny was, of course, called to tlp
desk, made to surrender the cherished
possession, and sent to his seat with n
reprimand. In about two minutes the
same small hand waved In the air again
and the same small voice complnlncd
"Tcschor, Johnny's got another cater
pillar!" A second surrender of.the caterpillar and
a second admonition followed.
Hardly had silence once more settled over
the room when a frantic waving of the
same hand was followed by a perfect
eb'iek of dismay
' "Teacher, Johnny's got a whole pocket
ful of caterpillars!"
This time the teacher's dismay equaled
her pupil's, nnd Johnny was promptly
sent home with his brood of strange pets.

There Arc a Large Number of Cases
of It Now in the City.
SYMPTOMS OP THE.. TROUBLE
It Seems ;to Have Attacked tho Horses
on the West Sldo or tho City
with.tlio Greatest Severity.
.Method of Treatment. .
Influenza, or "U gr ippe lung," Is al
ni.at rpMemli! among 'horses In this
city, ar.d If owners of private stables
wl!'.i to protect their stock they will
piolit -by a warning. The disease has
not yet Infected the larger livery sta
bler, fcut It has appeared In several
barns In the central city, whore hursea
owned by wholesale firms are stabled
atJJ seems to have become most preva
lent on the West Side.
Horse Influenza should not be con
fused with the more common disturber,
although the complications of the for
mer sometimes are similar to the usual
symptoms ef the latter and each dis
ease commonly appears In the fall and
spring of the year.
Distemper la indicated by a swelling
In the throat, which sometimes gathers
and breaks and a tunning from the
nose ar.d eyes. These symptoms are
occasionally noted In ases of Influenza
but nearly always the latter malady
Is revealed foy a high fever, less of ap
petite, headache ar.d a most pronounced
prostration.
It Is belleveJ that the Influenza was
brought to this city by western horses
suffering from "car fever." a disease
which has roime of the symptoms com
mon to Influenza, "la gilppe lung" or
dirlcmper. Usually "car fever" confines
Kf'filf . to ;oft, graln-4fed westerners,
one cr more of eaoii carload usually
being afflicted with the disease by the
time a rhlpment reaches the east.'
Sometimes native horses 'become In
fected, but the fever usually confines
Itself to the Imported stock and Is more
severe among them.
A well-known veterinary , surgeon
sayj the first thing to be done la to re
lieve the afflicted horse from any work
whatever and to use extra precaution
against chances In temperature ond
frrm draft. The next thing neresfnry
Is plain to sensible persons call a vet
erinary surgeon.
.Many rract'.eal horsemen competent
to treat the ccrrmon ills of their stock
have w'.th'n the past few 'lays been
puzzled on finding thcm'selves unnhle to
cope with the new disease. The sclencp
of prescr'f.ilpg for -horses ha's In the last
few years becrme very much akin to
medlral "clence as applied to human be
ings, and a man who would not pre
scribe for hlmsi'lf rhould not prescribe
for his horse under like conditions.
SO DA UN COMICAL."
A Pntlictlo Little InclJcnt Sketched from
MvcryPay Life.
"Mister, have ycr got a tele'phnne?
Cos If yer have, 1 wish you'd get the
ductcr for -me."
The Bpenker was a large, rough-looking
man, clad In the soiled garb of la
bor, coarse In feature, his hands large,
knotted, and toll-hardeded, his man
ner rough, and uncouth, giving one
tho Impression that there was not
much of gentleness In his n.ituro, and
that hard words and harder blow were
more In his l'.ne than sympathetic emo
tions and tender expression; but there
was an anxious look In his face thnt
prompted me ti fti-k him who It was
that he wanted the doctor for.
"It's my little girl, mister, she's awfut
sick, amdanel maybe sho won't get
well."
The voice was a little shaky as he
tol'.l me this, and there was a moisture
gathering in bis eyes that looked sus
piciously like tears, but which he hast
ily brushed away with his horny hand.
"How old Is your little girl." said I,
getting Interested In tho great fellow
and his troubles.
"Coin' on 3 years, sir. and she's Ju
t'he contfealrst little critter yer ev
pee," he replied, "and she's got grc."
big blue eyes ar.d her head Is nil en
ered over with yellar curls that kindi
tangles round yer fingers and fal'
round yer face when yer takes her up I
yer arms to kiss her In a way th?
makes a feller's heart seem .most Ilk
as If 'twas goln' ter bust, and then sh
puts her little hnnOs up inter yer fae
apd lays her little cheek against your
so kinder gentle like thnt yer mos
wants to eit her right up."
The dull eyes brightened and tlv
features relaxed from their stolid loni
nnd became fn.lrly radiant as he ele
scribed to me the charms of his golden
halrnl treasure.
"Will the doctor come quick?" asked
he. the nnxlous look returning to hi?
face ns I hung up the reeeiver. I as
sured him that he would. Thanking me.
he turned awny. saying, In an under
tone, as though talking more to himself
than ti me:
"I'd hate to lose her: she's n darn
comical, ypr know," ar.d again h!s big
chest heaved and the voice was very
husky. It wns a queer expression, but
the most polished phrase of the cul
tured elrawlng ronm novec told Its tale
of sorrow with more pathos.

fVfnlar piioea. Sal of acaU opens Oct. U,
at t a, tk
where he first learned to read end play
"hookey" there was a fellow pupil who,
although 6 bout Ihe same age ss Mr.
Miller, was noteel throughout the vil
lage for his pura cusseeiness. That
boy, according to Mr. 'Miller's state
ment to an Indianapolis Sentinel re
porter, would sit up of a nlg'ht to con
coct some scheme to make the people
of the town miserable. 'He would chase
the cows, s'tone the dogs and pigs, put
ropes acrosj the path at right, set pins
on the .seats -at church and scare the
wits out of all the old maids for rt mile
around. Whenever any devilment was
done It was laid 'at the d.-.orof this cne
boy, and usually correctly.
lAt 'hnol he was a terror 'ta all. Stub
born nnd defiant, there was no restrain
ing h-lm and the schoolmaster was In
despair. Ore day he thousbt lie
would make a last effort to reform the
boy by argument and he called him up
to the desk.
"New Tom," ihe fccsan, "you are a
bright fellow, but you a.re spollng your
future. Just think of what you can
make of yourself If you only behave
yourself. INow, have you ever thought
of what you will do when you grow up
to be a man."
Tna boy looked at htm a moment and
then, picking up a e-traw from the floor,
he picked his teeth for a iiionient, as
though In deep thought.
"Yes." paid ho, "I "lowed I would drive
a coach an' pre ach some."
COST OF SHOES INCREASED.
Scarcity of Hides Ij the Primary Reason
for t lie Alliance.
The -prices of h.i'js will soon be high
er. The working ma n who, when ho
purchased the winter supply of foot
wear, was obliged to pay prices fully 10
per cent. Wisher than 'those In vogue
last fall, will -n.it hall ,thl3 announce-me-nt
of a still further increase of prob
ably 25 per cent, with any special evi
dence:? of dL'Ugiht, but Ct Is nevertheless
true.
A primary cause of the Increase Is
the scarcity of hides. This scarcity has
been gradually increasing frr several
years past, although not until this year
has It been sufficient to make an ap
preciable difference In the price.
The only explanation which the men
engaged In the lcanner and shoe tridj
can give of this' Inadequate supply Is
the fact that-a few years airo ko many
wealthy capitalists and young m.'n
from the liast went Wct and, secur
ing ranches, "engaged In the cattle rais
ing buslners that there was an Immense
over-production. As a conseeiuencc 4'h9
price of ca.litlo was forced to a rclnt i''1
low that there was as much of a rtifh
of ranch owners to dispose of their
it 'party and retire from the business
as there -had been previously to erir-r-Jt.
Now the pecand reaction bus set In
an1.! prices aire rapidly reaching a point
which wHIl Te-et'iblli-'h or.i'jlle raising as
a ge'id ptylng business. Hut dealers -ay
that it Willi be f-rrlly two years before
the supply will be 'anyMng like pro
poitioral;e to the eKim-.ind and In tho
meantime the quotations have been
steadily pushing upward w'th a rapid
ity ithat (has astounded the manufac
turers. The retail dealer3 have up to etoto
fi'.oadlly refused 1o pay any great Ad
vance for their good-rt, and manufactur
ers vy '1 h't t If t.ho retail .tr.T.l- ccatln
Ufs tn hold out '.iv.-iilr.it them they will
Elmply ta obliged to close their works.
