Well Maybe Windows is Bearable ! Unix Rules !
My wife and have this old Picture of a Mountain range , Came from some on on her sifde of the family. they say it is an Antique. Well a couple of months ago , my daughter cracked the glass in the picture. so we took it to get a new piece of glass. when we picked it up the person said they had found an old Newspaper in the frame, they had carefully taken it out and place it between 2 large pieces of poster board. it is the front page of "the Globe " (New York Globe ) the date September 28, 1900. Top story , 58 US soldiers killed in the Phillipens by insugents.

We are going to have to take it to a antique shop or 2 and see if it is worth anything. Might have to do the same thing with the picture.

oh and teh cost of a newspaper in 1900 1 cent

That's pretty cool. You know the US still faces the same "insurgency" in the phillipines today? Basically in the 1800s the US annihilated alot of phillipinos in their occupation. There is a famous general with an infamous quote, but it eludes me, currently.

Found the quote:
"I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn, the more you kill and burn the better it will please me. I want all persons killed who are capable of bearing arms in actual hostilities against the United States.” General Jacob H. Smith said.

General Jacob Hurd Smith (1840-March 1, 1918) was a veteran of the Wounded Knee massacre and well known among Indian campaigners.

Jacob Hurd Smith is infamous for an incident in the earlier part of the Philippine-American War, when he served as a Colonel under General J. Franklin Bell in Batangas. After the Balangiga Massacre, General Adna Chaffee promoted Smith to brigadier general and put him in charge of the Samar campaign. In Samar, Smith became (in)famous for his orders to "kill everyone over the age of ten" and make the island "a howling wilderness."

"I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn, the more you kill and burn the better it will please me. I want all persons killed who are capable of bearing arms in actual hostilities against the United States.” General Jacob H. Smith said.

Since it was a popular belief among the Americans serving in the Philippines that native males were born with bolos in their hands, Major Littleton "Tony" Waller asked "I would like to know the limit of age to respect, sir?."

"Ten years," Smith said.

"Persons of ten years and older are those designated as being capable of bearing arms?"

"Yes." Smith confirmed his instructions a second time.

He was dubbed "Hell Roaring Jake" Smith, "The Monster", and "Howling Jake" by the newspapers.
