Remains Left San Francisco on Saturday and Will Ar rive Here Friday-Should Have Military Funeral. The remains of Thomas Walsh, a son of James Walsh, of the Third ward, | left San Francisco on Saturday evening ! at 0 o'clock and are expected to arrive at Freeland on or about Friday evening. Young Walsh was one of the many Freeland boys who offered themselves I to the United Stales government fur the ! defense of the country when the trouble with Spain assumed serious proportions. In May, 1890, he enlisted in the ser | vice at Ilazleton and was assigned to Company 11. of the Nineteenth regular infantry. In August of that year he sailed with his regiment for the Philip pines. During the following fifteen months he participated in a number of engage ments against the natives, through all of which he came out unscathed and with good prospects of returning home in good health in May, 1901, when his two years' enlistment would have ex pired. However, in November of last year he was stricken with typhoid fever, and after five weeks'suffering lie succumbed to the disease in the United States mili tary hospital at Cebu. The remains wore buried the following day in Ccbu cemetery with full military honors. Two weeks later the Tribune publish ed an account of his death, but as the name given out by the war department was assigned to Company C, of the Seventeenth infantry, it was believed that it was not the Freeland boy who had died. On February 14 last, James Walsh, liis father, received a letter from Captain Thomas (1. Hanson, of Com pany 11. in which the rumor was verified and consolation offered for the loss of the son. Steps were immediately taken by the family to have the body brought to Free laud for final interment, and this the government promised to have done as soon as possible. On Saturday Mr. Walsh received a telegram from the military authorities at San Francisco stating that the body of his son would leave that city for Free land via the Wells-Fargo express at •> p. in. The exact time of the arrival of the corpse here cannot be given, but it is supposed that it will reach town on Friday. The body will be taken lo the homo of the grief-stricken family in the Third ward, where it will be retained a day or two to permit, relatives from other towns to arrive to attend the funeral. The interment will be made at St. Ann's cemetery. Young Walsh was the third of our young men who died in the government service since the Spanish war was In- FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1901. aiigurated, and the second whose body was sent to town. Patrick Boyle, of Eckley, who joined the First Nebraska infantry, fell in the Philippines with a bullet through his breast in March, 1899, and was buried at St. Ann's cemetery. Sergeant John W. Jones, of Upper Lehigh, who was killed at San Juan, Cuba, on July 2, 1898, while storming the famous hill witli his regiment, the Seventh infantry, was buried where he fell. Later the remains were disinterred and taken to Washington. Owing to the haste in burial Sergeant Jones could not be identified, and the war depart ment was compelled to refuse the Tri bune's request to have the body sent here for burial. It now lies in Arlington cemetery, Washington, the burial place for the nation's heroes. In all other towns throughout the state, where tho bodies of soldiers who have died or were killed in tho Philip pines have arrived for interment, the local military organizations, Brand Army posts and others have seen that the deceased were given a military burial, and Freeland should take ad vantage of this occasion to show its respect for the young man whose life was sacrificed in behalf of his country. There is sufficient time to prepare suitable exercises to be held in connec tion with the funeral of the young sol dier. and it is certain that if tho Grand Armv Post will take charge of the exer cises the townspeople will lend all necessary assistance to show all the respect the patriotic dead should receive. A. 0. H. Smoker. The members of tho Ancient Order of Hibernians of Freeland and vicinity, to tho number of over 400, assembled at the Brand opera house hall on Friday evening in response to an invitation issued by Division 19. The mooting hall and adjoining hall were taxed to their capacity when the exercises of the even ing began. These consisted of con ferring degrees upon twenty-four appli cants for admission into the oaganiza tion. Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies a social session and smoker was held, during which addresses were made by State Secretary John P. Gibbons, of Hudson; County President E. .1. Moore, Esq., of Warrior Run; W. 11. Toole, Harry Geddis, Patrick Howling and others, of Wilkcsbarre, and President John F. Shovlin, of Division 19, and President John J. Welsh and I). J. Mc- Carthy, Esq., of Division <. Freeland. The orators were followed by songs, recitations, instrumental music, etc., making in all a night which the mem bers of lower Luzerne will long remem ber. Tho hall was beautifully decorated and there was an abundance of refresh ments and eatables. Ilazleton, Eckley and other towns were represented in tiie gathering. Seventh Anniversary. The Presbyterian church of this place celebrated last night, with appropriate religious services, tho seventh anniver sary of its organization. A largo con gregation was present, and to the great delight of all, tho pastor, Rev. J. W. HischofT, reported that tho recent bur densome debt on the church had been paid. In his sermon he congratulated the members of the congregation on their noble and successful eiTorts in this respect and on the general prosperity of the church. A particularly gladdening and promis ing feature of the services was the reception of several now members into the church. Candidates Were Here. The tour of the Democratic county candidates on Thursday was followed on Friday by their opponents on the Republican ticket. Chaperoned by Sheriff Harvey, Representative Ha worth, Postmaster Davis, Stephen Drasher, S. .1. Neullurger and other local stalwarts, the candidates spent the day and evening calling upon the voters. They were very impartial in their calls, visiting as many, if not more, Democrats than Republicans.

' THEATRICAL Complications in the plot of a play may prove Interesting to some but the genoral public are more easily amused by direct simplicity to engage their attention, spiced by those necessary condiment*, "wit" and "ginger." This latter method has been adopted by Mr. Hoyt when he wrote Ids side splitting comedy, "A Day and a Night." Tho fact that the public ear is entranced by sweet and dashing melodies did not es cape Mr. Iloyt's practiced senses, and the greatest popular composers have contributed to the play music that will live in the hearts of the people. The cast of characters comprises the ablest exponents of comedy to be found in the Mecca of theatrodom—New York eir.y. The men of the company are talented, handsome and dashing. The ladies, and they are numerous, have been selected with a view to their pec uliar fitness for the various parts, and their beauty of face and form is hut an endorsement of Messrs. liro ad hurst & Currle's fine discrimination as to the wants of an American public, "A Day and a Night*' is popular, and deservedly so, because its story is con nected and uproariously funny. The play will bo presented here tomorrow evening. t t t The successful playwright is who properly blends the elements of pathos and comedy. The author of '•Tennes see's Pardnor" has done his work suc cessfully and a more pleasing dramatic entertainment has not been seen on the stage for a long time. It is a play full of human interest, tender sentiment, manly spirit and wholesome comedy. Those who fancy "Tennessee's Pardner" a sort of wild and woolly, lurid, western melodrama will find themselves agree ably deceived by a series of stage pic tures as unique and delightful as those docribed in Bret sketches. The attraction is booked for Freeland for a special engagement of one night. X t X In order to fill its engagement here lloyt's "A Day and a Night" Company will make an unusually long jump. The company plays tonight at Potts town, Montgomery county; tomorrow evening at Freeland, and Wednesday night at Hanover, York county. The cost of the railroad fare to be expended In reaching town and retracing their stops will bo over $'J25. The manage ment of a company who are willing to rish so much to please local theatre goors should bo accorded the patronage their show deserves. X I X Miss Agnes Burroughs and her com pany gave a good presentation of "Fast Lynne" on Friday evening before a large audience. Many Cows Afflicted. Butler valley dairymen and farmers have a new misfortune. Throughout the valley a large number of cows have been stricken with a disease which ren ders their milk unlit for use and from which they cannot recover. One farmer has lost twelve cows and another has eight which must be killed. Others have from one to six alllicted with the disease. A heavy curtailment in the output of milk has resulted since the appearance of the disease, and several dairymen of the valley are unable to obtain a sufli cient supply for their patrons. One dealer discontinued business on Satur day and two others are expected to ro tire this week. The ordinance passed recently by council creating a milk inspector is now in force, and the health officer, who by virtue of his office is the inspector, will likely give the matter his attention. A considerable quantity of Butler valley milk cornea to town and it should bo examined regularly in order that the consumers may be protected from im pure milk. Cases of Smallpox Tho condition of Mrs. Edith Faas, wlio is afflicted with smallpox at lla/.le ton, is critical. The city authorities have taken every precaution to prevent the spread of tho disease. According to tho report of Surgeon General Wytnon, of the Marine Hospi tal Service, the number of smallpox cases oflicially reported in Pennsylvania from June 28 to October 11 was 1.318 and 38 deaths. During the same period last year there were only 15 cases and no deaths.

The object is to instruct tho members in their duties as freemen of their adopted country, to educate them in the use of the ballot, to teach them tho alms and objects of the several political parties, and fit them in every manner to take an intelligent part in the various questions which arise in local, state and national affairs which are settled at tho ballot-box. The tnoro intelligent men of this nationality in and around Freeland are members of the club. They have real ized for some time past that their coun try men, as a whole, are not qualified to exercise the privileges granted them when they become citizens. To place them on a level with their fellow-men Is the object of tho club, and under the guidance of sincero and honest leaders the association has done a wonderful amount of good. Tho club lias elected tho following officers for the ensuing year: President —John Gayda. Vice president—Nicholas Yaleh. Secretary—John Mezsaros. Treasurer —John Tarzak.
