Confederates Beg to Wear Old
Uniforms.
PLANS FOR MONSTER AFFAIR
Most Interesting Meeting of War Vet
erans In History of World to Take
Place In Celebration of Fiftieth An
niversary of Civil War's Greatest
Battle 100,000 May Attend.
Tho war department, the rail
roads and all tho states from which
soldiers came who fought at Get
' tysuurg aro making preparations
for the July encampment at Get
tysburg, which Is to be tho greatest
and most Interesting meeting of war
veterans In tho history of tho world.
Plans prepared by Major James
E. Norton and Captain II. E. Dal
ton of the quartermaster depart
ment contemplato a gathering of
C0.000 to 70,000 of tho men who wore
the blue or the gray.
The encampment will cover 20
acres and with the soldiers, offi
cials and visitors will accommodate
dally 100,000 people.
Tho state depots aro to send 64,000
tents. Tho war department Is to
provide 200 kitchens, a complete
field hospital outfit and 1.C00 cooks.
The railroads promise ample facili
ties. Tho encampment will celebrate
tho fiftieth anniversary of tho bat
tle of Gettysburg. Everything will
be done to make the old soldiers of
the south and north feel at home
in peace on their old battlefield.
A group of Confederate veterans,
their tanned and wrinkled faces some
times quivering with emotion, stood
up at the conference of the Gettysburg
celebration commissioners at the Phil
adelphia Union League recently to
plead for the privilege of wearing their
old gray uniforms at the reunion in July.
The conference is composed of the
Pennsylvania state commission, repre
sentatives of the United States gov
ernment and veterans' associations
and commissioners appointed by forty
states of the Union. Nearly all are
veterans cither of the Union or tho
Confederate armies.
Colonel Charles Burrows of New
Jersey, a Union veteran, Introduced a
resolution for n rule that no military
uniforms be worn at tho celebration
by survivors of either ariny. After
tlie plea of the Confederate survivors
Colonel Burrows withdrew his resolu
tion. Pathos In Plea.
There vcas much of pathos in the re
quest of tho southerners. When Ma
jor General Felix II. Robertson, com
mander of tho Texas division, bogged
for the privilege of carrying the old
Texas battloflags In the celebration
Union bands applauded as loudly as
did his comrades from tho south. The
Gettysburg reunion Is not to celebrate
a victory, he said; it,Is to celebrate
peace.
"Wo old soldiers are very much nllko
the world over," said General Robert
son, "and we are given to delusions.
Ono of these delusions is we have
made peace. We have not made peace.
Our children have made It.
"AA'e don't want war again. If wo
had a war now I'd bo fighting my own
children. A Yankee from Indiana
came down in Texas a few years ago
and married my daughter, and they're
living in Indiana. I'd have to tight
against my daughter's husband, if we
had wnr today.
How War Was Ended.
"We quit fighting because we
thought it was a hopeless job," said
tho general, his eyes flashing for
the first time. "When I quit, why,
you wero kind enough to quit too. I
tried my very best to get out of tho
Union, but you wouldn't let me. Now
that I'm in I want all tho privileges
that the country nllows. I want tho
best that's coming to me.
"I love tho Confederate gray. If I
can get enougli nerve to wear it on
July 4 I want to wear It. I want to
carry tho old flag that waved over tho
Texas brigade at Chlckamaugua.
There's a lot of men down our way
who want tho same privilege. I know
there's no harm in a blue coat, and
you ought to know there's no harm in
an old gray jacket.
"If you're going to celebrate a vic
tory, all right, keep away tho gray
coats, but If you're going to celebrate
peace, why, wo helped to make It."
Tho old general, who commanded
a brigade of Confederate cavalry
throughout tho war, started the con
ference on a heated discussion. Three
or four veterans were on their feet at
once demnndlng to bo heard. General
Louis Wagner, president of tho com
mission, tried to postpone considera
tion of the question.
Sergeant Adds His Plea.
Sergeant John O. Scarborough of
North Carolina was finally recognized.
Tali, six feet three, with gray beard
hanging midway to his waist, ho en
tered the discussion with a plea as
dramatic as was General Robertson's.
"I'm n conservative reconstruction
1st," tho tall sergeant began. "I'm go
ing to Gettysburg If I'm alive In July
without my uniform. I'll tell you why.
On my way homo from Appomattox I
passed through Raleigh. Thcro somo
Federal soldiers seized me and cut all
the buttons off my gray coat.
"I put tho coat away, or, rather
tvhat was loft of It. For years on cer
tain occasions I took It out and looked
at It It brought back memories,"

OIL A GOLDEN PRODUCT
SINCE TRUST DISSOLVED.
iPlttsburg. In a fourth successive
advance of seven cents a day last
week the South Penn Oil Company,
which virtually fixes Standard prices,
boosted Pennsylvania crude oil to
$2.33 a barrel and other grades In
proportion the highest prices in re
cent years.
When tho Standard Oil company
of New Jersey was dissolved by or
der of the Federal Supreme Court
last year a number of smaller com
panies were organized in this terri
tory, and competition for crude oil
for the new refineries has become
pronounced.
For 18 months preceding the dis
solution of the Standard, which took
place December 15, 1911, Pennsyl
vania crude, on which the price of
all oil is based by the purchasing
agencies, had been quoted at $1.30
a barrel. Eleven days afterward the
price was advanced 5 cents, and
within a month producers were re
ceiving $1.50 a barrel for oil. On
October 29 it became apparent that
the purchasing agencies of the vari
ous Standard Oil subsidiaries 'had
determined to force prices to a
much higher level, and on Decem
ber 14 the dream of tho oil producer
was realized In the announcement
that $2 oil had arrived. But It did
not stop there.
Oil men are predicting $2.50 oil
by midsummer and $3 oil before the
end of the year. x While It is realized
by thoso who closely follow runs and
shipments, as well as production,
that there is a scarcity of oil, the
movement last week has been so un
usual that many persons feel that
something moro than the legitimate
commercial demand underlies It.
The effect of the advance has been
most pronounced In Western Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio,
where many losses aro being taken
up.
THE COST OF SMOKE.
About 6 per cent, of tho coal that
fills the firebox cAthe locomotive ac
tually drives itflfeross the country.
The rest is waialk Not more than
10 per cent, of 'Jfciel value of their
coal Is consumjHRr the furnaces of
imanufacturinglants.
Tho rain of cinders from tho stack
of tho locomotive, the pillar of black
smoke from tho factory chimney, ac
count conspicuously for part of tho
waste. But these aro minor losses
The chief difficulty lies In the failure
to use the combustible gases that
arise from the burning coal. They
are either allowed to escape unlgnit
ed or are discharged without Tnnv-
in? done any service beneath the
boilers, to expend their heat on the
air.
Tho Geological Survey has esti
mated tnat the "smoke nuisance1
costs tho country, through waste of
fuel, injury to merchandise, and un
necessary labor caused by clouds of
soot, over ?GOO,000,000 a year.
There is, moreover, an undeniable
menace to tho public health through
the polluted air of great manufac
turing towns.
Much of the tremendous economic
wasto Is at present unavoidable, be
cause we have not learned how to
utilize the energy of coal directly.
Steam, and often electricity as well,
must be generated before the power
can bo applied. But there are im
provements in furnaco construction
which reduce the losses of imper
fect combustion, and progressive
manufacturers are saving money for
themselves and benefitting their
communities by adopting them.

SMALLPOX COST OARBONDALE
$8,000.
The last case of smallpox report
ed to tho health authorities was re
leased from quarantine Saturday af
ternoon and it is the first time since
tho first case was reported the latter
part of July, that the city has been
entirely free from the disease.
Among tho several epidemics that In
fested this and other states during
tho past six months, this city was
exceedingly fortunate as not ono
death occurred from tho dreaded dis
ease. The total cases reported In
this city was over ono hundred and
while a majority of tho victims had
only a modified form of tho disease
there were a number of severe cases
that were brought safely over the
crucial point. Tho epidemic, it Is
figured, will coBt the city In tho
neighborhood of $8,000, whlcli
amount Includes all bills contracted
up to the time the State Department
of Health took charge. Since that
time several bills have been paid by
tho poor district for provisions for
the patients which will probably
amount to $2,000. Leader.
