An article in Freedom, nubllsihed In Ma

dom quotes what appeared in a rival pa

and therefore American agents. As Amer
ica Is thoroughly convinced of the ne
cessity for ttie retention of the friars
in the Philippines, the monastic orders
will be given the necessary prestige which
will be much greater than It was during
the Spanisii regime. Father McKlnnon,
who will be appointed to a high position in
the archipelago, will protect the friars,
and be the mediator between tlhem and
the American authorities."
In contradiction of this, Freedom says:
"The archbishop is not at the present
time prepared to make expression of any
kind. He is here to examine carefully
into tho situation, and not until he has
been thoroughly informed will any report
be made.
"The article referred to caused much
comment in Filipino circles yesterday, and
while the better classes did not believe a
word of It, and looked upon it as the work
of some one trying to make trouble, there
were a large number who took It all In
and expressed themselves very strongly
in regard to the matter. Tho wording
was so strongly antagonistic to the gen
eral feeling among Filipinos, toward the
friars, that the thought of the possibility
of it being true was very repugnant to
them, and the expressions used were very
harsh. The Filipinos have had every faith
in the proper adjustment of the religious
question by Archbishop Chapelle, and may
continue to have."
As Filipino fortunes ebb in the struggle
with American soldiers some of tho mer
cenary creatures drawn to the rebel stand
ard at the commencement of the insur
rection quit or fall at the hands of the
pursuing columns. In a recent issue ol
Freedom, th fate of an American traitor
who deserted his regiment is told.
"A deserter named Scott, of the Sixth
arUllerj't "who held a major's commission
In the insurgent army, was found dead
with a Krag bullet-hole In his head, near
Alphonso, after tho rebels were driven
from their position at Magelkmes.
"Another renegade has received his just
deserts. The man who enlisted to defend
-the flag that is the emblem of all that
civilization means, and deserted it to wear
an ofncer'6 straps in the army of an en
emy to the flag, and all that it stands for,
has gone to bis death wearing the uniform
that proved the perfidy that reigned In
his heart. His body was buried with as
little ceremony as Jf it was that of an
animal, and great care was taken that
no mark will show to future generations
where the body of the traitor lies."

OBSERVED BY CHILDREN
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Varied Entenninment in the Several
Buildings Library in Couch
School Dedicated.
Nearly a thousand children celebrated
Washington's birthday yesterday at the
Harrison-street school, and it was hard to
tell which wore the happiest smiles, the
faces of the school children or those of
the visitors. The programme began with
exercises by 250 little tots belonging to the
primary grades, who saluted the flag with
much patriotic ardor, lisping out tha
words, "Wo plende allegiance to our flag,
and the republic for which It stands, one
IN HONOR OF WASHINGTON'S Bill
SCHOOL RIBBON DRILL.
nation, Indivisible, with liberty and Justice
for all." This was followed by a song
by the whole assembly of children, "Co
lumbus Sailed Across the Sea," after
which little Freddie Weltzen recited some
verses about the man who "loved the
truth and hated lies, and minded what his
mother taught him."
A flag song was then sung to "Our
Washington" by 14 youngsters, who
waved 14 flags valiantly in the air at the
words:
Thou art known throughout the Korth,
Our Washington.
South would set thy glories forth.
Our Washington.
Braie hero, brae hero, thy name shall lle;
Brave hero, brae hero, praise will we give.
Russell Handley, a very small boy with
a very big voice, then came courageously
to the front and explained about the origin
of the flag and Its colors how the red
sajs to us, "Be brave"; the white says,
"Be pure," and the blue says, "Be true."
The next number was decidedly realistic,
and brought forth a storm of applause.
Six little boys entered upon the scene,
and, ranging themselves alongside a real
cherry tree, were met by a ruthless de
stroyer In the shape of another little boy,
who carried a hatchet and was garbed
appropriately in a blue cocked hat, a white
waist and red shoes. He Immediately
began putting his dangerous weapon to
practical use upon the tree, while his
companions sang the following song, to
the tune of "Yankee Doodle":
Once there was a little toy
Who had a little hatchet;
He ran all round In roguish Joy
To find a tree to catch It.
Chorus.
O Georgle, Georgie, no, no, no.
Naughty little sinner;
You ought to go to bed.
And go without a bit of dinner.
At last he found a cherry tree
Within his mama's garden.
He laughed and laughet: m wicked glee:
See how his heart did harden.
(Chorus.)
He chopped and chopped the cherry tree
With that bright little hatchet.
He never thought tha sometime he
Would surely have to catch it.
(Chorus.)
Georgle, Georgle. honest child.
Honest little chopper,
He may hae been a little -nlld.
But he didn't tell a whopper.
At the conclusion of this song, the tree
having been laid low, the young hero
marched off tho stage with a proud air,
his hatchet swung victoriously over one
shoulder.
One of the prettiest exercises of the
afternoon was the ribbon drill by 20 little
girls, whose fresh, Innocent faces and
charming poses were received with over
whelming enthusiasm by the big audience
that packed the assembly hall. They were
dressed In white, with long red, white
and blue streamers, floating from each
shoulder, the ends of which were caught
in the hand. A gay little song was sung,
which had for Its chorus:
Then hurrah for the flag.
Our countrj's flag.
Its stripes and white stars too.
There is no flag In any land
Like our own Red, White and Blue.
A series of unusually picturesque poslngs
and callsthenlc exercises followed this;
intricate marching figures were gone
through with, the two small leaders ac
quitting themselves with praiseworthy
skill and ability.
An assembly motion song, that was full
of life and motion, and showed to advan
tage the excellent training the children
are receiving, closed this part of the ex
ercises. The second part of the programme was
devoted to the children of the grammar
grades about (0 altogether. This opened
also with a salute to the flag, after which
an assembly song to the flag was sung.
David Robinson then gave a boy's reflec
tions on the achievements of George
Washington, closing with the suggestion
that "if he had really wanted to be some
thing nice, he should have "been head of
a football team."
Sixteen girls In white, with thdr hair
In long braids, then came forward, and
gave a strikingly odd and pretty pole drill
with four very long red poles. Their
motions were graceful, and the perform
ance a. most creditable one in every way.
Blanche Delury's recitation to Washing
ton elicited much applause, but still more
followed her song, "Mount Vernon Bells,"
which was given in a delightfully clear,
fresh voice.
The flag drill given by 1C girls In white,
each bearing the national colors, was as
artistic a number as any on the pro
gramme, owing to the picturesque tab
leau presented as they stood in groups of
four, the girls in front with bended knee,
their eyes turned up to the flags they held
aloft. Following, this Sam Rosenthal ex
plained with commendaole ease and dis
tinctness the symbolism of the Stars and
j Stripes, after which the exercises closed
with a particularly pretty assembly song,
( a bright, merry thing, that was full of
I morning sunshine and gladness, and
showed careftil musical training on the
part of the teachers.
The, entire- programme was a most en
joyable one to tho hundreds of people
present, who commented in most flatter
ing terms upon the successful work of
the teachers.- Those to whom credit

appreciative.
The programme was bright, and decid
edly a departure from trm old rfvl nt

AT COUCH SCHOOL.
Memorial to Cnptain John H. Coach,
Distinguished Pioneer.
At the Couch school, the library donated
by the daughters of the late Captain
Couch was formally ded cated. School
Directors Strowbrldge-, Williams and War
ren were present, and gave short talks to
the children. The former told of the kind
and benevolent character of Captain
Couch, after whom the school was named.
Mr. "Warren urged the pupils to use the
beautiful library for something more than
an ornament,' and" said that they would
never regret search for the hidden knowl
edge In those volumes.
Irene Higgins then read the following
sketch of Captain Couch:
"Eighty-nine years ago today there waB
born at Newburyport,. Mass., a boy who
was destined to an active and "eventful
j career. Early In life a voice called to
him from th8 sea. It was the yoice of
1 those bravo and adventurous spirits who
I for -many generations had explored the
! seas or tracked the wide waste of waters
J with ships- freighted with commercial prod
i ucts and enterprise.
I "Before the mast on this great high
1 way of nations, the lad was trained and
grew to manhood, until at last he became
master of his ve&sel. This man was Cap
tain John H. Couch, whose honored name
this school bears. After several years
of varied and successful experience on
the sea. In 1840, at the age of 23 years, Jie
was placed in command of a ship the
Maryland owned by a distinguished New
England merchant. Captain Couch was
not only master of the vessel, but was
entrusted with the entire cargo in a voy
ago to these far-away Pacific shores,
which were then beginning to attract com
mercial enterprise.
"Two years later a second voyage was
made In a ship, the Chenamos, named after
an Indian whose favorable acquaintance
Captain Couch had made on his first voy
age to the Columbia river. In June,
1842, the Chenamos reached the rapids Just
below Oregon City. At this time Oregon
City was the principal settlement south of
the Columbia river, occupied by the Hud
eon's Bay Company. Here Captain Couch
opened a store for the disposal of his
cargo, sent back his ship and remained
five years. In the meantime, while at
Oregon City, he laid claim to a tract of
land, on which this building is located,
and now known as Couch's addition to
the city of Portland. As this region was
in dispute between the United States and
England, no sufficient title to hl9 claim
was obtained until the rights of the United
States were acknowledged and the dona
tion land claim act was passed.
"In 1847 he left Oregon City and returned
home by the way of China, reaching New
buryport In 1848. He did not remain long
in his native city, for in the fall of th!a
year a company of shipping merchants of
New York city secured Captain Couch
as master of the bark Mondanna, and on
January 12, 1849, he sailed for the Colum
bia, Captain Flanders going as first mate.
The ship reached Portland In August,
and Captain Couch established a store,
while Captain Flanders took charge of the
ship. The next year, 1850, Captains Couch
and Flanders were united In "business, as
they had been In friendship, and these
relations continued for 20 years, and were
only severed by death.
"While Captain Couch never sought of
fice, yet during these 20 years, from 1850 to
1870, he filled many Important positions of
trust under the territorial, federal and
state governments, and so acceptable was
his service that changes in administra
tion did not affect his official relations.
"Of his personal qualities, Captain Couch
was strong, robust and energetic. He had
excellent judgment, unquestioned Integ
rity, and great executive ability, and while
possessed of an Iron will, he was modest
and unassuming, simple and open candid
as a child, and as tender as a woman.
He was loyal and devoted in his friend
ships; just, generous and kind In his deal
ings with everybody. And when, In Jan
uary, 1876, after a brief sickness, death
closed his active and useful career, every
place of business In this city was closed,
and the entire community paid tribute to
his worth and memory.
"And, although 30yearshas passed away
since he was laid to rest, yet in conversing
with his few remaining associates to ob
tain the facts of this brief sketch, with
one accord they extol his manly virtues,
and wRh moistened eyes speak of the
kindly, genial friend and companion of
those early pioneer days in Oregon. These
events and asrociatlons of his life have
been revived by the generous and nohle
act of his children In bestowing this
munificent library upon the school that
bears hla name. It will be both our duty
and our pleasure to keep alive the story
of his life; to use and to hold in trust
this library for those who are to come
after us and occupy our places, and to
cherish In everlasting and kindly remem
brance those who have so graciously made
this donation."
This was followed by short quotations
from standard authors, and recited by the
following pupils: Louise Hagner, Minnlo
Cohn, Evelyn Cohn, Clara Boot, Jessie
Wallace, Mildred Noyes, Emily Hcwlston,
Helen Brlgham, Hazel Young, Juliette
Bowman. Inez Cummings, Mary Keegan,
Grace O'Nell, Celeste Moore. Jetty Bo
lander, Mildred Rhlnstrom, Walter Gard
ner. Hoyt Catlln, Frank Korell and Lillian
O'Brien.
As an example as to what use the books
can be put to, tho principal had six girls
who graduated from the school the first
part of this month, tell of what they read
from the new library. Their stories were
given without notes, and were related in
good style. The subjects spoken op were:
"The Revolutionary War," Evelyn Cohn;
"First Voyage of Columbus." Minnie
Cohn; "Second Voyage- of Columbus,"
Mildred Noyes; "China," Jessie Wallace;
"Cortez and Montezuma," "Katie FItz
Gibbon: "The Childhood of Pizarro," Clara
Boot.
A slumber song was sung by Shannah
and Vida Cumming, after which the en
tertainment closed with "America," by the
audience.
At Fnilinsr School.
Washington's birthday was commemo
rated at the Falling school by a short gen
eral programme. Several school hymns
were given, and also many patriotic songs.
Professor I. W. Pratt, the prinolpal, talked
to the pupils for a considerable time on
the father of his country, telling them
of his glorious deeds on the battle-field
and of his wise actions as a statesman
He related many beautiful Incidents of
Washington, which were much appreciated
by the pupils. The primary grades were
dismissed Immediately after Professor
Pratt's talk, while the grammar grades
took, themselves to their several rooms
I and completed the programme with recita
tions, more songs and talks by the teach
ers. "Wllllams-AvenHe School.
At Williams-avenue school. East Side,
exercises appropriate to the anniversary
of Washington's birthday were held la
the assembly hall at 2 o'clock. The pu
pils decorated the platform with Ivy and
Oregon grape. There was also a profuse
display of flags, the national colors and
green foUage forming a pleasing contrast.
The guests were provided with chairs,
while the pupils were marched from the
various recitation-rooms and took their
place in the assembly hall, facing the
stand. Then came the salute of the Amer
ican flag. Professor Pratt leading, which
was very prettily done. The color-bearers
assembled on the platform with flags and
gave the salute. "Dear Native Land"
was given by the school, with fine effect.
"The Life of Washington" was set forth
in a series of short sketches touching tha
various phases of the character of Wash
ington. There were short historical Kerns
of his life from boyhood to his death.
Following this exercise, pupils of fehe sixth
grade sang "Mount Vernon Bells," which
was well rendered.
Rev. Dr. H. W. Kellogg, pastor of the
Taylor-street church, was then introduced
by Professor Pratt, and he gave a short
and instructive talk, highly pleasing to
the children. He said that he had been
wondering what he could say that his au
dience did not already know, and then
said he had one new item, and that was
he had recently met a man who attended
the funeral of Washington. Dr. Kellogg
then proceeded to give some pleasing inci
dents. He told how he had visited tha
grave of the mother of Washington and
spoke of her qualities as a mother and
worthy of her great son. Then he had
gone to Mount Vernon and stood before
tho tomb of the great Washington and
looked Inside, where the precious dust was
sleeping. He had heard the salutes of the
passing steamers as they passed up and
down the Potomac river, in honor of the
"Father of His Country." Dr. Kellogg
gave many other Interesting incidents,
and then said he considered that one of
the things In the character of Washing
ton is that he was truthful. He said
that he did not know whether the cherry
tree story is true or not, but he was sure
Washington was truthful, because he had
been trustworthy and trusted by his coun
trymen. He had also been a man- of sound
Integrity, and was an example worthy of
the emulation of all. At the close the
pupils evinced their appreciation of Dr.
Kellogg's address by clapping their hands.
The exercises were concluded by the school
singing "America."
At other East Side school buildings, ow
ing to the lack of assembly halls, general
exercises were omitted, but -In all the
rooms there were short patriotic pro
grammes, and lessons from the life of
Washington were set out by the teachers,
or by concert exercises.
ALASKA WORKER
Gained 44 Founds by Leaving off Cof
fee and Talcinir Postnni Food
Coffee.
Some people in Alaska have work to do.
A widow woman, Mrs. Adda Crosaley, of
Juneau, says she has been doing the cook
ing for eight men through tne winter,
and during the summer for 15 more. She
went to Alaska an Invalid, and bad "been
in poor health four or five years before
going. It seems that her sickness was
caused and kept up by the use of coffee.
When she finally discovered the real causa
she abandoned coffee, and finding Postum
Cereal Coffee In the stores, took up Its
use.
She says: "I commenced using it once a
day for two months, then twice a day. I
only weighed 80 pounds when I started,
and could hardly get up and down the
stairway. After leaving off coffee and be
ginning the use of Postum, I took up the
work for eight men. I improved steadily,
and In December last weighed 124 pounds,
which is more than I have weighed for
20 years. My face Is round and ruddy.
Friends say If It was not for my gray
hair I would pass for 20 very easily. There
is no doubt that the words on the famous
trademark, 'It makes red blood,' are
true."
