SILENCE REIGNS AT GETTYSBURG Regular Army Pays Formal Tribute to Dead. Ten Thousand Hear Preaident De liver Parting Address Exodus For Home Hegins. Gettysburg, Pa. The regular army paid tribute Friday to the thousands who sleep under the hills of Gettys burg. Somewhere down in the heart of the tented city a bugle sang out in silver sweet call, that wandered over the field where l.ee and Meade made history. The big ling before the head quarters of General Liggett, flashing in sudden curvea of red and white and blue, glorioua in the sunahine of a perfect July day, cuine alowly half way down the abaft. In front of the tent, ahouldera squared, figure trim in summer uniform of white, face toward the flag, the general clirked heels to gether and stood at attention. The guns of the Third battery burst into salute. Every officer over the length and breadth of the wide field, every enlisted man turned away from the dutiea of the moment and fared the flag, heela together, heads up and eyea alight with the sentiment of the hour. As the laat gun of the 48 sent the echoes clattering altoul Seminary Ridge and Round Top, there was sol emn silence-— tho hush of peace. Old veterans who did not realise, perhaps, exactly what was going on, stood si lent under the spell of the universal feeling that seemed to sweep the field. Even the clatter of pots and pane in the mesa tents was hushed, and the yells of cooks about to dlah up the midday meal lower«! to whispers. For five minutes the camp was quiet. Then the bugle spoke again in notes joyous. The silken flag leaped up the stair to its very pinnacle and the noises that 40,0(8) men can make re sumed their away, tho regular army's tribute to the dead and to the flag of a reunited Nation. That five minutes' silence was prob ably the last formal mark of the semi centennial celebration. Only a few minutes before President Wilson spoke in the big tent to the veterans in blue and gray and only a short time after ward thousands of those who were left began their preparations for depart ure. The President came into Gettysburg shortly after 11 o'clock from Balti more. Through the narrow, crooked streets of this war-famed country town be motored out to camp with Governor Tener of Pennsylvania, and Representative Palmer of Pennsyl vania, by his aide. On his appearance at the station of Gettysburg college grounds came the customary 21 guns. From the station to the camp over the village streets and gray and dusty Emmitsburg roads, the President was driven, while the Pennsylvania con stabulary, looking business-like and efficient in their slate gray uniforms, guarded his automobile and kept the traffic clear. The President was in the tent only a half hour. At the conclusion of his speech he shook hands with many of those on the platform and then walked between lines of the constabulary to his private car waiting on a nearby siding. He stood on the rear platform as the train pushed slowly down to ward Gettysburg through the camp. A few minutes later he started for Harrisburg and the North. Special trains began pushing out of Gettysburg early and the railroad men were working their hardest to put them out on schedule. Governor Mann, of Virginia, and General Bennett H. Young, of Ixtuis- ville, Ky., commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, started a movement to have a reunion of the armies of the North and South at Richmond in April, 1915, on the 50th anniversary of the evacuation of the capital of the Confederacy. New Treaty la Ratified. WOMEN CANNOT BUY LIQUOR Naw Law Takes Effect In District of Columbia. Washington, D. C. — No woman in Washington is able to buy herself any sort of intoxicating drink, be It mild or strong, mixed or straight. For the flrat time In history the District of Columbia, so far as women are con cerned, went dry, largely because of activity of Senator Jones, of Washing ton. The Jonee-Worka liquor bill went Into effect July 1. Under its restric tions no liquor can bo sold directly to women in hotels, restaurants, or else where. At hotels women with escorts may have drinks served with their meals, but not otherwise. By instituting another filibuster in the senate Jones fortified his bill to the extent that he ia now, single-hand ed, preventing the sale of liquor to women in reatauranta, summer gar dens and similar establishments, and in these places women are ’not able to be served, even when escorted and when seeking drinks with meals. The bill provides that no such resort shall sell to women until it has been exam ined by the excise board. The law re quires the appointment of a new ex cise board, the old one having gone out of existence June 30, but Senator Jones ia holding up the nominations of the board recently appointed by the President. This makes it impossible at this time to grant special licenses to restaurants to sell to women under the same conditions as hotels, and un til an excise board is confirm«! res taurants and summer gardens muat serve only soft drinks to women patrons. Senator Jones' filibuster Is due to the fact that one member of the board, appoint«! by the President, appeared before «ingress in opfiosition to the Junes-Works bill. Senator Jones maintains that a man who publicly op posed the bill is not fit to enforce it. INDIAN PATRIOTISM WANES Idaho Tribe Sad When Government Forbids Sun Dance. Pocatello, Idaho Angered because orders to stop their annual sun dance came from Washington, 1000 tribes men from the Fort Hall Indian reser vation. who had gathered at an Indian farm ten miles east of here for a four- day observance of an ancient tribal custom, drift«! back to the reservation with all patriotism gone from their hearts. They planned to hold a Fourth of July celebration as a wind-up to their sun dance, but when the Great White Father at Washington decreed that they could no longer perform the sun dance, the fires of patriotism waned. Only tact and diplomacy on the part of tribal leaders prevented a demon stration when the Washington order was received. .......... ...... .................... ' W '' FRIEDMANN LOSING GROUND Berlin Medical Society Refuse* to Test Tuberculosis Serum. Berlin—The Berlin medical society at its regular meeting Saturday re jected by an overwhelming majority the request of Professor Ludwig Schleich, the assistant of Dr. Friede rich F. Friedmann, that the society appoint a committee of four to test the Fri«!mann vaccine for tuberculo- sia in any way which might appear to it most advisable. The decision of the society was greeted with cries of bravo. The president of the society, speak ing informally later, declared that if Dr. Friedmann really desired a teat he could have it by placing his remedy at the disposal of the different hospitals. This statement was applauded. IMPERATOR AID TO CHARITY Money Paid by Sightseers Put to Philanthropic Use. New York—Mayor Gaynor has re ceived a letter from Dr. Carl Buns, resident mananger of the Hamburg- American line, asking him to accept 1 the company’s check for 15000 to be | distributed among the charitable in stitutions of Manhattan. When the steamship Im per a tor ar rived here recently on her maiden trip, Buns announced that visitors would be permitted to inspect the vessel on payment of 50 cents each, and the total sum collected would be turned over to charity. It ia in fulfillment of this promise that the mayor has been asked to accept the check. In all, 80,688 paid to inspect the > Imperator and a total of $15,344 was collected. The rest of the money has been divided among several local Ger i man societies and hospitals.

This scale is due to a fungus growth, and in most cases will came off of its own accord in the spring. Cases which are extensive should, however, be treated promptly. "As treatment I would recommend that you scrape off the scale with a knife or other suitable instrument for the purpose and then paint the surface of the wound with tincture of iodine. About three paintings will usually be enough to bring about a prompt recov ery. In some instances, however, more applications will be necessary. "A few doses of potassium iodine internally wiii assist in curing more obstinate cases. Of this I would rec ommend two teaspoonfuls twice daily continued for four days; then an in terval of three days, followed by a four days’ course again.

He was not particularly glad to bo told that his absence was desir able, but it was pleasant to know that bis views had at last been embraced by one member of the family. "I knew,’’ said he, “that you would come around to my way of thinking some time.” But his satisfaction was short-lived. **Oh.

UNCLE SAM HAS LOTS OF CASH Fiscal Year Closes With Big Surplus on Hand. Canal Expenditures Large—Water way Has Cost 1318,229,000 Corporation Taxes Grow. Washington, D. C. — Uncle Sam closed the fiscal year 1913 on July 1 with a surplus of $40,083,229, repre senting the excess of receipts over expenditures, exclusive of Panama canal and public debt transactions. This exceeds laat year’s surplus by $3.750,000. The Panama canal ex penditures and public debt transac tions, however, wiped out the surplus of ordinary receipts over ordinary ex penditures and created a deficit for the year of $2,149,000. Total receipts for the fiscal year amounted to $723,782,921, while the ordinary disbursements were $683,- 699,692. Corporation taxes yielded the gov ernment $34,848,870, or $5,365,766 more than during the fiscal year 1912. While customs receipts for the last few months have shown a decrease, as is characteristic of a tariff revision period, the total for the fiscal year reached $318,142,000, an increase of nearly $7,000,000 over the previous year. The drinking and smoking of the American people during the last 12 months brought the Federal govern ment the enormous total of $309,478, 000 in interal revenue receipts, which was $16,500,000 greater than in 1912 and one of the highest amounts on record.
