MEMS IRON TIE PHILIPPINES
SOMETHING OF EXPERIENCES
OF the American Soldiers and Ma
tives ON the Island-The Govern
ment Ice Plant in Operation
Other Items of Interest.

Following is a part Of an interesting
letter received by a South Side BUSH
ness man from Norman s.. Wood; a
former Wheeling boy who is now serv-
ing as a member of Compant B,
Twenty-third United States Infantry, in
the Philippines:
JOLO, P. l., November IL, 1899.
Our company still occupies the
blockhouses, and we will return inside
the wall town on December LIST, C COM
pany taking our place.
Our former First Lieutenant Stew
ems, who was promoted to a c~aptaincy
in the Sixteenth infantry, has returned
and is O our captain.
ct is said by First Sergeant Miller
that he saw the order for the trans
portation of troops to Windanao. 1t
is generally believed that those of the
T~wenty-third who have been garrison
ed here will go. All our ordnance is
being inspected and defective articles
replaced by new ones. Windanao is
east of here, and a little north. No
American soldiers have ever been
there. Zamboanga is the chief town.
We all expect and confidently
to go there. AS to who will
replace US here is a matter
of conjecture. They will most likely
be volunteers, as this would be a good
place to drill volunteers. There are
many rumors of trouble here, and, al
together. it is a nort uncertain mat
ter. When we go to town to draw ra-
tions, or on any bushes whatever,
guards must go along.
"The government ice plant is now
in operation-the only steam plant on
the standard from here only one
column of smoke is seer to rise from
the town. Coal is shipped here, and
the plant has a capacity of six tons a
day. 1t is for army use, but most
likely the surplus will be sold. Many
funny stories are told of natives first
experience with ice. None of them
ever saw it before.
1.-TWO sergeants of our company
were discharged last week and neither
will ~re-enlist, as both are in poor
health. The government pays $3.50
miles transportation, Manila to Frisco,
as a bonus to re-enlist. Those who do
not are carried to Frisco and receive
travel pay from there to place of en-
listment. He must enlist before CASH
ing final statements. The travel pay is
a days pay and 80 cents for each 20
miles, with all allowances. A SER
geant gets 80 cents a day which, with
soc, makes s1.10 for every 20 miles
$3.50 a h~undred-$55 for 1000, and
s442.75 for $3.50. Added to this is
travel pay from Frisco to place of
enlistment, but this is paid whether
one recruits or not. Four hundred and
forty-two dollars is a neat sum to
throw over ones shoulders. l get 80
cents a day as a private"

Heresy," said yesterday:
I'VE claim that after the death of
the Smith brothers, in 1914, Brigham
Young assumed the reigns of govern
ment of the church. By resorting to
unlawful methods some few thousands
followed him to Utah in 1916 and AT.
After their settlement in Utah, Mr..
Young bgan the advocacy of heretical
tenets, introducing questions entirely
foreign to the original principles upon
which the church of the Latter Day
Saints was founded. Mr.. Young intro
duced the dogmas Of blood atonement,
Adam-God worship, plural marriage,
secret endowments, ~perversion of the
law of tithing, tearing it into a sys-
TEN of robbery. The reorganized
church of Latter Day Saints stands
unqualifiedly opposed to all these err
rors. believing and advocating such
truth as recorded in the New Tesla
ment Scriptures. Believing in loyalty
to civil governments, and that a man
who obeys the law of God has no need
to break the laws of the land"

shantx Town.

sShanty Town" is said to be the best
farce comedy ever written, and Is said
to contain some of the most original
situations ever introduced into a play.
The star Of the play is an Irish char
acter comedian Of uncommon merit.
Superb stage settings have been pro-
cured, as well as a most excellent cast,
which were selected by the careful
study of Harry S. Healey. A we'll
conceived plot. with dash and vim
usually foreign to plays of its kind.
Special scenery and effects have been

Brl,sla.s Former chlness wars.

Tt is a somewhat curious coiEci-
dence that our first Chinese war-just
sixty years ago-had an almost ex-
actly similar origin as had the present
upset, for the then Emperor issued
a mandate to his subjects ordering the
determination OF the British, offering
rewards for the heads, not only Of the
commanders, but even for those Of the
private soldiers. That was, however.
q comparatively small affair, for. be
sides the Royal Navy and Royal Artil
lerv. only some half dozen British
regiments were needed to bring thu
Emperor to accede to our conditions
Of peace. Two of these rcgimenss-fhe
old Forty-ninth fnow the First Royal
B~erkshirel and the Efifty-fifth fnow the
Second Rorder)-wear the Chinese
Dragon rs badges in commemoration
Of their galIantry. Tie second Chinese
war commenced in 1856, and lasted
some four years, and in this the
French Joined us. On this occasion
more regiments were engaged, the
Kings Dragon Guards being the onl!

On the Railroad

Another woman, one who spenda
half her time travelling On the rail-
roads, says: What a delightful world
this will be when one person in 1000
learns to respect the rights and feel
ings of others. Nowhere does one
suffer more from the selhshness and
disgusting habits of the average HUI
man being than in a railway car. First,
the lack of ventilation has a depress-
ing effect upon a sensitive tempera-
ment and fatigues one quicker than
miles of walking in the open air. Next
comes the human annoyances. There
is the peanut eater sitting opposite.
Now, any one who would eat peanuts
except in a ten-acre lot or standing on
a burning deck where q certain boy In
history Is said to have devoured them
by the peck ought to be fayed alive.
What, then, should be done with the
creature who devours peanuts by the
quart on a railway car where 1t is i'm
possible to escape their horrible odor?
To me there is nothing more offensive
than the smell Of peanuts, and when

woMAN,s SECOND GROWTH.
Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late I'm Life.

Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late In Life.
Since woman is in the main but a
bundle of paradoxes, it is not so sur
prising to hear that a normally healthy
woman is younger, mentally and phys
ically, at so than at 40. The reason Is
somewhat reconcile, but still n to
be rendered in plain words. This re-
juvenation comes from a sort OF sec
ond growth Of nerve tissue, or, more
accurately, a new arrangement OF
nerve cells, which takes place COM
monty in the decade between IS and
45. The Encouragement is somewhat
analogous to the root-maklng OF a rose
or a Towering shrub. Almost every
one has noted how the riotous vitality
of the vernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom up to the period OF
midsummer. Then, though the bloom
ing continues laggardly, the flowers
are poor and small, as though the tree
were tired Of ~fashioning them and
fretful beneath the strain. BY and by,
as August yields to September, the
flowers, though they may be fewer.
swell to more than the glory Of spring.
They are truly royal, loo~se-leafed ,lolg-
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
OF every virtue-size, fragrance, color
| and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you it is because In the height OF
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots. and is full of the rich juices OF
a second growth. 1t Ia somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
Of young fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which, if only it harder
sufficiently, is the best Of all wood fol
either cuttings or grafts-because, say
the orchardists, sit has more life II
