Athens—The survivors of the
Fiftieth Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteers, held their reunion at
New Albany, Saturday afternoon,
and there were fourteen of the
command present. Isaac Bibcock
and George W. Davison of Athens
were in attendance, and they report
a very interesting meeting. Ed-
ward Overton, Jr, of Towanda, was
lieutenant colonel. They embarked
on the transport Ocean Queen for
Beaufort on October 19, 1861, and
eacountered a teriffic gale off Cape
Hatteras when the masts of the
vessel were cut away and all camp
cquippage was thrown overboard
and and the vessel was given up
for lost by the sailors. The soldiers
of this regiment then took charge
and saved the vessel by super
human efforts. At the battle of
Aatietam they distinguished them-
selves in the charge of Burnsides
over the stone bridge and at Rou-
lett barn, The last incident is rep-

Be it known that the family of Erbach is a
“mediatized” family, the members enjoy equality
of birth with all the royal families of Europe.
Their rank has been held sacred by them, every
male and female ancestor of the present count
since back in the tealh century has bien of noble
birth. Mesalliances have
history, but children of such unions have been
debarred from the succession. Up to his eighteenth year the count who has
Just wedded a washerwomam, was kept in guarded seclusion, reared in full
belief in the family greatness, had dinned into his ear the duties incumbent
upon him as eldest son of the reigning count. He knew what happened to
an Erbach that married a woman of low degree. At the.age mentioned, Lhe
heir was sent to complete his education at the University of Bonn, and here
learned that there were others in the world besides the Erbachs, was given
a wider outlook on life, doubtless lost some reverence for Erbach traditions
One day whilst at home on a vacation and out for a ride on the family estate,
he came upon a beautiful young peasant girl. He found her as Intelligent and
honest as she was fair; he fell hopelessly in love, persisted in courtship. The
girl's father thrashed him—npot dreaming the young man, too, was honest:
his father thrashed him; family and associates boycotted him. The love oul-
lasted years, outlasted persecution; the other day Count Francis and Anna
Schultz ran away to England and were married by ring and book.
HENRIK IBSEN
It Is hard to belleve the wonderful, uncon-
querable personality could be conquered even by
mortal illness itself, that the invincible old Nor-
wegian, after such bitter, strenuous, immensely
successful struggles, must at last be laid low by
the reaper. But let us not speak of death, let us
speak of life and force.
Back in 1866 Ibsen said: *1 will and shall
have a victory some day.” And when the victory
came, & victory beyond his dreams he was hum-
bly “grateful to be understood.” Ibsen is named
one of the greatest literary men of the time, great
poet and dramatist.
He was born at Skien, Norway, 77 years ago, of
German stock on his mother's side, some Danish
blood from his father. In his youth he was clerk
to an apothecary for awhile, and later began the
study of medicine at the University of Christiania.
He wrote when not at his studies, and the success
of one of his productions led him to give up medicine for the drama Ap-
pointed stage manager at Bergen, presently he won renown in Scaudinavia by
his series of national dramas Five years he served as director of the Nor-
weglan theater at Christiania, but his management brought the theater to
bankruptcy. After this fallure he petitioned the strothing for the poet's pen-
slon, which was finally granted him. Embittered by the failure, by the polit-
ical situation in 1864, he exiled himself from Norway, lived abroad ten years.
In 1891 he returned to Christiania, that city became his home. In 1899 a
bronze statue of Ibsen was placed before the National theater; on the occasion
of his seventieth birthday he received presents and greetings from all over
the world.
Ibsen's dramatic work at first was romantic, then historical then we have
the social satires. and the later pyschological work. When the work “Ibsen-
ism" ia used, reference is made to the last nhase
THE FRENCH PRESIDENT
President Loubet had repeatedly refused to Le
considered a candidate to succeed himself; it is ob-
viously unnecessary to say that he had been re-
peatedly urged to succeed himseM
Sincere regret Is voiced at his retirement, on
the sudden death of his predecessor the national
assembly elected him on the first ballot. As a
president Loubet has not been’exactly a Roosevelt
but France would scarcely know what to do with
a Roosevelt. Ho has conquered hatred and preju
dice, closes his presidency with dignity and pres-
tige. ’
Some newspaper man remarks that his term
Is ending In a blare of glory. ‘Sovereigns have
honored him. and the position of France, thanks
to the friendly understanding with England, the
greatly improved relations with Italy and Spaln,
and the spparently undiminished financial strength
of ber thrifty population, Is better than in a gen
eration.” Under his administration the republic has been strengthened, the
monarchists seem to have disappeared.
A GREAT NEWSPAPER MAN
" An authority on things Russian, Dr. Dillon's
| name has been signed to numerous recent news
paper and magazine articles of wide publicity
Dr. Dilion has lived In Russ.a 25 years, Is married
to a Russian lady, Is a personal friend of many
Russians of note. He is a man of rare ability and
rare opportunities, eminently fitted for his high
place In journalism.
Dr. Dillon is an Irishman—it would seem that
nowadays to be markedly successful one must be
either Jew or Irish. His education was begun in
Dublin; he continued studles at various European
universities. Dr. Dillon is a scholar of renown
as well as a journalist; a friend says he Is by na-
ture scholar and philosopher. And when we add
that the scholar is a man of unusual physical cour
age, a bold adventurer, we surely have a picture
of a most interesting personality,

ent, of his noteworthy work in this field. He visited China after the Boxer
Iinsarrection, which visit led to some plain speaking in regard to the conduct
of the troops of the allies; and American and European was called upon to
squirm. He was In France during the Dreyfus agitation. Disguised as a monk
he worked his way into Crete with the Insuregents, at no fnconsiderable risk.
He was in Spain before and during the Spanish-American war, saw Weyler
and his work. The sultan refused permission for him to go to Armenia in
1895, but he entered the country In disguise, traveled about as a Cossack offi-
cer, a native woman, a Kurd chiel—observed first-hand the atrocities, gave
rellef where he could, sent forth reports that stirred the world, In Armenia
he was poisoned once, several times barely escaped with his life.
BELOVED MARK TWAIN
Mark Twain was 70 years old the last day of
November—Thanksgiving day this year. And ke
gave us a Thanksgiving sermon In the true Twaln
fashion, the three-score-and-ten arrival has not
dimmed the luster of his wit or weakened the
sureness of his aim. He hits as straight from the
shoulder as ever, and with as hard a blow,
Mark Twain's new book, “Editorial Wil
Oa's,"” tells the story of his carly wanderings from
printing office to printing office; In mind's eyo we
see him at the case In Hannibal, at Keokuk, Mus.
catine, St. Louls. And then comes "Noo York."
But the great city does not hold the wanderer,
back again west be travels to the river his name
is to immortalize. He plays pilot til] the break-
ing out of the war, enters Lhe confederate army,
plays soldier for the short period of two weeks—
in Twain fashion he explains the briefness of his
service—he became overfatigued In constant re.
treating. Next he becomes private secrelary for his brother, newly appointed
secretary of the territorial government of Nevada, the private secretary hay-
ing “nothing to dF asd no salary,” But the impressions gathered here are
later to bring him fagse. Whilst idling In the far west, heé acts as correspond.
ent for the New York Tribune and Alta California, picks up a precarious liy-
ing by means of his journalistic work.
In 1869 “Innocents Abroad” is published, and presently there ia no fur
ther need for newspaper pot-bollers, the book bringing anthor and publisher
each a goodly fortune. Then come those other classics —" Roughing It.” “Tom
Sawyer “"Huek’ Find" —everybody knows the list. Then comes the arduous
round-the-world leclure trip to pay the debt of honor, Now Is the unencum-
bered old age. Old age and Mark Twain! Banish the thought!
