Gettysburg, Pa., July 2. Field hos
pital ambulances began racing over
the battlefield, picking up the veterans
who dropped' under the flcrce sun as
they went on their way to the great
tent where Secretary of War Garrison
formally opened tlie memorial ceremo
nies. The ambulances were arriving at tho
hospitals every few minutes loaded
often with as many as four of the aged
warriors. Just how many were knock
ed out by tho heat is not known. It
would not bo surprising if the number
ran into the hundreds.
Secretary Garrison nnd General
Wood, chief of staff, motored hero
from Baltimore. They were escorted
to General Llggett's headquarters by a
Equadron of cavalry.
The assemblage at the tent was an
Inspiring sight. It is a great amphi
theater, easily accommodating more
than 5,000. Every seat was taken, and
many of the veterans were standing
without the tent walls, which were
raised to permit the circulation of air.
Perhaps thero wero 0,000 veterans,
rebels and Yankees side by side, pre
senting the picture of a vast field of
white hair. Secretary Garrison deliv
ered a stirring speech of welcome.
Tho vanguard and tho rear guard of
veteran hosts have arrived. The de
fenders and the would have been dis
rupters of the Union are here in each
other's arms. Tears and laughter,
shouts of "You d Yank" and "You
Johnny Reh" are seen and heard ev
erywhere. Embracing, rounioning and
reminiscing are the orders of tho day.
There will never bo another civil war.

son, who was wounded and captured at
Uppersville, says that. lie was of Com-

and he ought to know. Following the
steps of his nephew, the uncle, while
denying that Richmond P. ever kissed
anybody on tho Chicago platform but
his married cousin and her children
and somebody else's children, declares
that if he and his fellow tar heels had
only brought their wives along they
would never go back. Ifs a loving
host, as Undo Hani: says, and also as
Uncle Hank says: "Wo camo up here
expecting you to hold us in your arms.
But wo like it; oh, wo like it" That's
the note today. Get together, boys!

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this
continent a now nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the propo
sition that all men are created equal.
Now wo aro engaged in a great Civil war, testing whether that na
tion, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are mot on a great battlefield of that war. We have como to dedlcato
a portion of that Held as a final resting place for thoso who here gavo
their lives that that nation might live. It Is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this.
But in a larger senso we cannot dedlcato, wo cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The bravo men, living and dead, who strug
gled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or de
tract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but It can nover forgot what they did here. It is for us the living, rath
er, to be be dedicated here to tho unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advocated. It is rather for us to bo
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these
honored dead wo take Increased devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died In vain that this nation, under God, shall
havo a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the
people, for tho people, shall not perish from the earth.

A Chapter on Cigarettes Anti-CIg-nretto
Day June 22.
The use of cigarettes is one of the
greatest of evils. Cigarette smok
ing is the most harmful form in
which tobacco is used.
This Is not due to the presence of
more nicotine or other narcotic
drugs but they are especially damag
ing to health because it Is the habit
of those using them to inhale the
smoke. This act carries the nico
tine down into the air spaces in the
lungs. Here it is much more read
ily absorbed than in tho mouth. The
user of cigarettes is also more likely
to smoke to excess than one addicted
to the cigar or pipe. The use of
the cigarette makes one more a
slave to the drug, so that when he
Is deprived of It a longing desire
takes possession of him. He is un
fitted for work or for enjoyment un
til another dose of tho poison has
been administered. As an illustra
tion will give the experience of one
held fast by the cigarette habit as
told by himself.
"It was at tho age of six that I
first began to smoke cigarettes. At
the age of fifteen they sent me away
to school. At eighteen I went to
college. Freed of all home ties and
restraint, I smoked to my heart's
content. At twenty-five I was a ner
vous wreck. The doctors thumped
me over the heart and shook their
heads gravely. I had tobacco heart,
they told me, and my only hope of
evading a premature grave was to
stop smoking absolutely. I had fig
ured that I smoked from fifty to six
ty a day. I resolved to cut this
number down. I did manage to get
along with about half that number,
but below that I could not go. Then
one day I took stock of myself.
Life was sweet and I had no desire
to die. I resolved to master the
cigarette habit or die in the attempt.
If I didn't I was going to die any
way. Once more I threw away my
tobacco and papers. And this time
I did not retrieve them. Time after
time I returned to the place where
I knew they lay just over a hedge
fence, but each time I managed to
control myself and walk away from
tho spot.
"That first night was one cres
cendo of horror. I tossed restlessly
upon my bed. I thought of the
pleasure which one puff would give
mo. Again and again I sat upon
the edge of my couch, fighting
against tho desire to get up and
search my pockets for "scrapings"
enough to roll just one cigarette.
How I kept from doing so is more
than I know. Morning found me
gaunt and hollow-eyed. The craving
had me in Its grip. Breakfast sick
ened me becauso I hadn't braced my
stomach to receive it with my morn
ing cigarette. I ate no dinner and no
supper. Water alone would stay
down. This is only a portion of the
torment that I suffered for weeks.
They seemed like ages to me. Tho
smell of a cigarette would drive me
frantic. Cigars and pipe had never
appealed to me before. Now, I would
have almost parted with life itself
to havo dared to smoke one. My
nights were one long series of toss
Ings and tumblings upon my bed,
dropping off into dozing only to
awaken because of the nightmares
which pursued me. And in each of
them the central figure was a cigar
ette. By day time I was grouchy and
irritable. Harsh words camo more
readily to my lips than kind. I al
most hated myself. What my
friends and relatives must have en
dured then only the love for one of
your own blood could have borne.
And then one day the habit left me
not gradually for the night before,
I can recall, I had one of my hardest
battles against getting up, casting
all the ground that I had won be
hind me. and making and smoking
a cigarette, even though my life
should pay forfeit. The next morn
ing I was surprised to find that I
had slept well and that I was under
going a craving which I had not ex
perienced in years. I discovered
that I wanted breakfast and after
the meal I did not crave a cigarette
and havo never craved one since. I
can sit by and watch others smoke
them without the least desire to in
dulge myself. My taste for cigar
ettes has been broken, but not for
worlds would I go again through the
purgatory into which my battle with
the little thin paper rolls of tobacco
cost me."
After reading such a terrible ex
perience we ought to work more
earnestly to teach the boys tho great
danger in their use. The supreme
court of Tennessee made tho follow
ing statement: " We think cigarettes
are not legitimate articles of com
merce, because they are wholly noxi
ous and deleterious to health. Their
use is always harmful, nover bene
ficial. Beyond question their every
tendency Is toward the impairment
of physical health and mental vig
or." A police magistrate in New
York declares "nine-nine out of
every hundred boys between tho
ages of ten and seventeen years who
como beforo him charged with crime
have their fingers stained with nlco
tino from cigarettes."
Tobacco and liquor seem to go
hand in hand. Although there are
exceptions the user of one is very
apt to use both.

Adam Williams of Pittsburgh, n rail

Adventuress, Starting About July 1.
Roy C. Andrews, a noted whale
hunter, who has captured many speci
mens for the whale hall of tho Amer
ican Museum of Natural History In
Now York city, has been making for
several months plans for a cruise in
the arctic regions In quest of the rare
bowhead whale, which If secured will
complete tho museum's valuable col
lection nnd thereby make It one of the
greatest In the world.
Andrews, whose achievements In
hunting whales In the orient aro re
called by hunters of largo game, has
been Invited to join the hunting ex
pedition organized by John C. Borden
of Chicago, who plans to sail from San
Francisoo in the schooner yacht Ad
venturess, which is now en route for
tho Pacific coast by way of Capo Horn.
Tbo Adventuress is woll equipped for
a voyage to arctic seas. Sho was built
In Bcothbay Harbor, Me., with auxil
iary power and carries bomb guns
for killing whales. The cabins are fit
ted In mahogany. Tho boat Is equip
ped with electricity nnd has n cold stor

Whale Hunting Fine Sport
Although whale hunting affords sport
for Mr. Bordan, he also understands
the scientific value of such an expedi
tion, and for that reason ho asked Boy
Andrews to join him on his voyage
with :i view to securing a fine specimen
of the lowhoad monster for tho mu
seum. The bowhead whale is the last
of a large series desired by the muse
um, and, according to Mr. Andrews, it
Is greatly wished to get a spocimcn
now. A lwwhoad Is not ensy to secure.
Besides making especial efforts to get
a bowhoad whale, the party will spend
considerable time in pursuit of brown
and polar bears, walrus and caribou in
tho haunts of big game in the far north.
"For more than 1,000 years tho bow
head whale has been hunted," says Boy
Andrews, "but thus far no naturalist
has succeeded In getting .a complete
1 skcloton of one." So thoexplorer Is
anticipating with keenest Interest his
Journey Into tho arctic In quest of tho
coveted bowhead.
The whale, if secured, will bo towed
to the nearest barbor, on the shore of
which tho skcloton will bo prepared.
It will be forwarded to Seattle by
coasting schooner nnd then shipped to
New York.
Expedition Fully Equipped.
The Adventuress carries a fully
oqulppcd Now Bedford whnlcboat nnd
Is under command of Captain Sparks,
an experienced whaler of Province
town, Mnsn.
Thoro aro now no bowhead skeletons
in this. country, and but ttttlo la known
concerning tholr anatomy. Tho mem
bers of the museum ntaff'aro therefore
extremely appreciative of Mr. Borden's
offer to co-oporato In tho expedition.
Tbo Borden expedition will leave San
Francisco about July 1. It will car
ry a wireless telegraph outfit, which
will bo effective for about C00 miles.
If It gora a bowhead a life lzo repro
duction will bo a conspicuous feature
