suffering young American woman
imprisoned in foreign land, begs you
to assist her.
The bearer, William Frost, is my
brother. He has done ell for me that
one human being could do for another,
but now our means are exhaused. The
Supreme court has affirmed the decis-
ion of the lower court and sentenced
me to four years in prison.
1 am i'll and in destitute circum-
stances, with no money to buy food
clothes or medicine, so as last resort,
he leaves me to go to our native land to
solicit aid, that we may raise the means
to fight my case through and get
another hearing.
J'No one but myself can ever realize
hat I have endured from that awful
me? Every cent will count, and q lit
tie means a great deal to me, for have
none and am struggling for life and
freedom. You can trust my brother
most implicitly, for his interests and
mine are Identical. He would lay dow q
his life for me, and only for my sake
would he ask charity from any one.
Gods blessing will be upon the head
of each and every one who will con-
tribute even five cents to aid me in
gaining my liberty, which also means
life to me, for 1 know that 1 could not
survive three months longer in this
cell.
Every dayis like year to me here,
but trusting that my countrymen will
aid me in my affliction, 1 try to be
patient and wait further developments.
With the utmost sincerity, 1 am.
Yours truly,
MRS. EVELYNE COLLIER.
Those desiring to respond to this ap-
peal will address or call on Rev. J. T.

Of them depend on the good will of the
natives for business success. l do not
say that no money was contributed by
Americana, but I do say that it was
never collected by me. l used every
cent of my own money to get my sister
out of trouble. several kind women
visited my sister in her cell.
''That statement of q mining man
concerning me and my sister pu bllshed
in the HERALD did her q great amount
of harm and 1 believe 1 would have
been able to raise enough money in
Mexico had he not spoken as he did. "
The room occupied by Mrs. Collier
in the Hermosil1o Jail opens into the
Jail Office. The door leading into the
Office is the only means of getting light
and air and it has to be closed most OF
the Office to be stripped of their cloth
ing and examined.
Sights unfit for woman's eyes, says
the brother, are there exposed to view
and words unfit for her ears are
spoken.
The president of the United States
has been appealed to and has replied
that Am bassador Clayton would per-
sonslly investigate the case. Mean
fiment and her only hope of regaining
her liberty is through an appeal to the
higher court, and it will take several
hundred dollars to defray the the ex-
pense.
Mrs. Collier is but % years of age
and is now alone and unprotected in
Mexico and in prison. Her brother
says she will not live three months
longer unless released. The San Fran
disco Examiner and the HERALD pub
lished the full story of the killing sew
ersl weeks ago, as told by the young
woman. ---ft
She was the only witness to the ira
Redy. The Mexican forced his way
into her apartments for the purpose of
robbery or outrage and she shot him
accidep tally she claims. In this coun-
try and had her assailant
been an American, she would
not, under the clrcum-
stances, have been arrested. The
court found her guilty and sentenced
her to four years Imprisonment.
TOUCHING APPEAL.
~ From her prison cell in foreign
land the young American woman sends
out the following appeal for aid, which
was brought to the United States by
her brother. American hearts will be
touched by it and purse strings will
doubtless be loosened:

PETTY SNEAK THIEVES.
Believed to Be Crowd of Mexican
Boys.

The sneak thieves who have been en-.
tering private residences and carrying
of anything in sight of value, are
believed tobe a crowd of Mexican boys.
The house of DR.. W. M. Yandell, on
Myrtle avenue, was entered yesterday
afternoon between three and five o.
clock, but nothing of value was taken.
Chief Lockart cautions all citizens
to keep their front doors locked. He
says that the Mexicans generally sp-
proach q house and knock at the front
door. If no one answered and they
find the front door .open they slip into
the house and carry off whatever comes
to hand that is of velue.
If on the other hand
the knock is answered they apply for
work and the occupant of the house
does not suspect the real mission. The
advice of the chief is. if you are COM
PEELED to be in the back of the house
see that the front door or screen is
locked, and be careful not to carelessly
lay around jewelry, etc.

ROOT UPHoLDs LUDLOW.
Approves of the Suppression of the
Recommends

Washington, Sept 14.-Secretary Root
approved the action of Gen. Ludlow in
suppressing the "Reconcentrado" paper
published in Havana AS the paper
had been suppressed, the publishers ap-
peared in Washington and protested to
the secretary of war that the action OF
Gen. Ludlow was an infringement on the
rights of citizenship. They petitionec
to have the order of Gen. Ludlow re-
voked. The secretary refused, and re-
ferred the matter to Gen. Brooke for
report. who in turn referred it to Gen.
Ludlow. The report of Gen. Ludlow,
Endorsed by Gen. Brooke, has been re
ceived at the war department, and was
disposed of in the following ORDER
War Department, Washington,
Sept. IA, 1899.
The "Recontrado" appears to have
been vile publication. It's suppression
raises no question of the liberty of the
press. Every government is bound to
protect the community against public
indecency in this as well as in other
forms. 1t is to be regretted that the
persons responsible for the publication
cannot be criminally punished The or
der of Gen. Ludlow is approved and the
petition is denied.

DEN0UNCE UNIONS.
United Typotheta Declare
Against Union Labels
on Their Work.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 14.-Today's
business session of the 18th annual con-
vention of the United Typothetae of
New England. which began at $50
a. m. and closed at u O'Clock, developed
heated discussion of the question in
volving recognition of union labor, and
before the hour of adjournment had
arrived the typothetae had gone on rec
ord as generally opposed to official rec
ognition of typographical unions.
This discussion was precipitated by
the recommendation of one of the sub
committees, which suggested that the
be constituted arbitratOrs in case of a
dispute with a committee from the
typographical union. A. H. Pugh of
Cincinnati declared against this Teso-
luton. He stated that he was a nom
union printer and opposed emphatically
the recognition of union labor as sug-
gested. He said he did not mind being
characterized by labor unions as
'scab printer" but he did protest We
hemently against being thus character
lied on the floor of the convention, and
that the adoption of the resolution
could only mean such characterize
ton"
Ex-Congressman J. ]. Little of New
York favored the resolution. He was
followed by Robert J. Horgan of Gin
cinnati, who seconded the position of
Mr.. Pugh, and demanded the defeat of
the resolution. Other brief speeches
were made, and the resolution was
finally stricken out.
A still more radical resolution was
tabled until tomorrow. This measure
urges all master printers not to use
union labels and not to employ union
foremen. 1t is as follows:
Resolved that the United Typothe-
tae of America views with regret any
Willingness on the part of the members
of any local organizations to curry
favor with labor unions by allowing
the union label to be attached to work
being done in their offices.
Resolved that the convention earn
estly urges upon all it's membership
that they discountenance any use
whatever of the union label upon any
work going out of their establishment.
| (This was adopted.)
| Resolved that the United Typothe-
! tae of America in convention assem-
bled, requests each individual member
! of the organization hereafter to en-
Iploy only non-union foremen or su-
periHteHdehts in the-eenduet of their
business.
Resolved that the organization
pledges it's financial support to the end
that each member of this organization
shall manage his own business in his
own way.
At o'clock this afternoon the dele
cation left for Hartford, where they
/ will be entertained.

Guyotte, Of the First Colorado regi-
ment, who served as a clerk under
Maj. Kilborne and later under Lieut..
Col. Potter, auditor of public accounts,
publishes a signed statement, in which
grave charges of corruption are made
against the American officials in
Manila. He says official vouchers are
forwarded to Washington showing ex-
orbitant prices paid for all kinds Of
supplies purchased in Manila. That
quantities of hgh-class wines and other
supplies have been purchased ostens-
bly, for the Spanish hospitals, while in
the American hospitals only the
coarsest supplies are furnished.
He says court martials of private
soldiers charged with selling govern
ment property have been stopped be-
cause they would result in the expos
ure of official rascality. These rob-
berries, he asserts, will aggregate an
enormous sum.
