SAID BY COLONEL FROST.

No Looting of Churches by Americans.
Otis a Fine Officer.
New YORK, Oct. ga special to
The Times from Washington says:
''The stories of American soldiers
looting churches are FALSE" said Colonel
A. S. Frost of the South Dakota regi-
ment, who had long interview with
Secretary Root in regard to the Philip
pine situation. b.
Gas General Macarthur advanced,
the principal churches were set on fire
by Aguinaldo's men, notably the
churches at San F ernando and Malolos,
and the looting was done by insurgent
stragglers and Chinese. It is not true
that the Philippine prisoners were in.
humanity treated. There is no kinder
man in the world than the American
soldier. I have seen him share his food
with and give shelter to wounded Fill
pinos. The Filipino wounded are sent
to the hospitals on the same trains with
our own.'' ..*..-
Colonel Frost praised General Otis,
declaring him to be a man of splendid
character. 49,:
He makes enemies, ''said the colonel,
because he is strong man."

W0man's Christian Temperance Union ON
Record Against Expansion.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 26. The ma
tional convention Of thew. e. T. q.
passed a series of resolutions during the
day, some Of which caused hours Of
discussion. The main fight was over
two resolutions, one censuring the gen.
eral government and the president. At
torney General Griggs and 'ex-Secre-
tary of War Alger by name for their
action. on the anti-canteen law, and the
other denouncing the war in the Phil
ippines. The opposition to the passage
of the resolution denouncing the war
was led by Mrs. Mary II. Hunt of Mas
sachusetts. who lost a son in the Phil
ippines, while the pro-resolution forces
were led, by Mrs. Clara Hoffman of
Missouri and Mrs. K. L. Stevenson Of
Massachusetts. The resolutions were
as follows: #-~J~ 2 : u. ~ e:s.s 5,
1--WE deeply dep9ore the attitude
taken by our nation with respect to the
Philippine islands, and since govern
ments can derive their just powers only
from the consent Of the governed we
protest against the policy which would
compel foreign people to submit to
the rule of the United States, and
against a war through which the ad-
ministration is striving to enforce it's
policy.
Anti-Canteen Resolution.
"We protest against the manifestly
forced and unjust Interpretation of the
antl-canteen law as rendered by Attor-
ney General Griggs of the United
States and upheld by ex-Secretary Of
War Alger. We urge upon the chief
executive Of our nation, William Me-
klnley, as commander-in-chief Of our
army and navy, immediate consideras
ton of the case which will result in
such action as shall be in accord wifi
the, expressed will Of the people and his
own'high oath of Office. we pledgb
ourselves to renew efforts through beti.
tions, letters, personal appeals, Bdblicc
meetings and all other just means, f6f
the passage of the Circuit billssW6iGh
will come before our next congfess." <
A resolution protesting againbt the
seating of Congressman Roberts was
adopted with cheers. Resolutions wgftee
also passed denouncing immoral shows,
offensive advertisements, lynching, de.
handing the ballot for Womeh and

NO FOOD On BOARD. &

Pass0ng ers ON VAssel From Cape Nome
Rsa oh Seattle in Pitiable shape.
SEATTLE, WASH. Oct. 26.-After q
I voyage OF % days from Cape Nome.
during which two men died Of starya.
ton and Others were half scrazed from
want OF food and water, the schooner
Hera arrived in port during the morn
ing with nearly 900 passengers on
board. News Of the wretched plight Of
the Heras passengers was brought here
Sunday night by the steamer Lakme.
The revenue cutter Grant and the tug
Sea Lion Immediately started after the
schooner. They succeeded in finding the
schooner about 50 miles off Cape Flat
terry. The two deaths Reported are
those Of J. S. Ryan, who came on board
9 well man, but through bad food and
lack OF attention gradually grew worse
until he died on Oct. 16. The other
case is much the same. George Lamby,
through want of nourishment and con-
tinement in illy-ventilated quarters,
was taken with typhoid fever and died
on Oct. 81. While he WAS sick he had
absolutely no medical attention. Both
men were buried at sea. From the
statements of other passengers it is
learned that the agent of the ship at
Cape Nome ~
Guaranteed Plenty of Good Provisions
on the way down. They were charged
$50 for their passage. When they were
few days out meat, sugar and butter
ran out. The menu consisted Of salt
horse and canned mutton. There was
little dried fruit on board, but only
enough to supply the table three times
with dried peaches and twice with
dried prunes. From that time on for
nearly "a days their food consisted Of
-four and water. There was plenty of
flour, but the water was short. Four
days ago the last of the unpalatable
salt horse was consumed. Had it not
been for rain storms which fell for a
few days they would have been without
water also.
When the Hera anchored out in the
stream the majority Of the men were
so weak they could not carry their gold
dust ashore without assistance. Sew
eral passengers were crazed from their
terrible experiences and had to be car
ried ashore and taken care of. Even
taking their terrible voyage into con-
sideration the passengers unite in de-
claring Cape Nome to be the greatest
camp on earth and many of them will
return in the spring.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-06-22

The inventive mind has for years
been hard at work trying to perfect a
non-refillable bottle, by means @
which it will be impossible for inl.ta
tions or adulteraticns of wine, beer
patent medicines, and the like, to bt
sold in bottles bearing a given brand
That these limitations and adultera.
tions have been sold is the reason fol
the demand among manufacturers for
non-refillable bottle. Many at
tempts to supply this want have been
made during the past FIVE years. The
latest is the invention of George Tur-
rell of Paterson, N. j., who has con-
structed what he calls a spool stop-
per. This rests in the neck of a bot
tie, and while 1t lets the contents
how out it effectually prevents the en-
trance of liquids. No amount Of pres
sure from the outside will force liu-
uids through the stopper. When this
is attempted, suction created at the
base of the stopper drives the LIQUID
out again. Should a more power
full pressure be applied, the result
would be the breaking of the bottle

In its logging operations this winter
the H. c. Akeley Lumber company is
using new power for hauling logs.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman
says that F. S. Farr has designed and
constructed a log-hauling macnine,
which consists of boiler and engine
mounted on an ordinary sled. The
propulsion is by means of four heavy
calked wheels, two forward and two
back. which run in about the same
tracks as horses would. The runners
of the sled run in the ice ruts of the
logging road, and the calked wheels
are so arranged that they rise or fall
to accommodate themselves to uneven
places in the road. This engine IS
made to do the work of four teams. as
it will haul four loaded sleds of logs
The machine is roughly gotten up this
year, but Mr.. Farr believes he has the
correct idea. and will improve on il
for the next season in the woods.
