Mrs. Eeach Ths Romance of Her
Life.
Mrs. Beach, scrap of whoso personal
history is given in the following article from
a recent number of the Sew York Press, was
a resident ol this town for several years du
ring the days of construction on tbe South
1 enn it. J5 lit r only San lost his life in
tbe explosion of the dynamite factory two
miles north of town. People in and about
Somerset have none but pleasant reoollec
tionsof Mrs. Beach and tbe Prat article
will recall to ibeir minds the many exhibi
lions of her daring horsemanship witnessed
while she resided beret
" Everybody np on horse matters knows
that Mrs. Beach has received fourteen prize
ribbons in five years, and that that Is a re
markable record; that she is the lady mis
tress of the must fashionable riding school
in town, and that she is a wonderfully clev
er woman in various ways. She and her
daughter. Miss Belle, were the feminine rid
era of the recent horse show, and it was
quite the thing to comment upon Iheir
grace and style. Mrs. Beach's plaie among
the bt known women in Sew York is
unique. She is not snly a professional rid
er, but a "lady," as theailile use the word
Mrs. Hicks Lord and Mrs Beach were the
first women in New York to ride saddle
horse iu tbe park attended by grooms. In
those davs Mrs. Beach was one of the fash
ionable by right of birth and an abundance.
of money. Her husband was a member of
the Produce exchange.
She was born in Connecticut of "old
stock." At the age of three she clong to
horse's tail one day, and the big brute
switched ber all around among its feel.
where it could get a good look at her. She
wasn't a bit frightened, and she solemnly
declares that tbe old horse said lo ber :
"That's right, little giil. You find out all
about us horses, and we'll be your friend al
ways. We like you." She supposes she
must have had some peculiar gift, for she
always understands and sympathizes with
them, and the most fractions animal obeys
her wishes.
The old oar down in Connecticut was a
truthful prophet, for the romance of ber life
was brought about on horseback, and when
reverses came she earned her living on
horseback. For seven years she has taught
the aristocratic dames and maidens of New
York ihe secrets ol the saddle and kept her
social standing. Her life has had other tri
als besides financial reverses. At the age of
twenty-one her only son wa blown to at
oms by an explosion. But the brave little
woman bas kept her heart and courage
through it all, and she is as bright and
cheery as her particularly vivacious daugh
ters, with whom she lives in a flat on Fifty
ninth street. There is no one who could
fill ber place as diplomat and riding io
ttrnrtrcss in the Four Hundred. She is not
fond of notoriety, though. She tays she
'felt like somebody's old yaller dog" all

We clip the following from tbe Daily
-Vena, of Cumberland, Md : ' Two new and
large coal properties are being developed on
the line of tbe West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg Railway Company. The first is
the Fairfax Coal and Coke Company, locat
ed at Fairfax, Tucker County, V. Ya., seventy-five
miles south of Cumberland, Md,
It has Ihe Newburg-Pittsburgb vein of coal
and a number one coking coal. Tbe offi
cers are J. W. Nibifcr, president; J. B.
Keese, treasurer; U. B. Armstrong; secreta
ry, and C. B. Colborn, general superintend
ent. There are five workable veins on this
property. They other company is the Bay
ard Coal and Coke Company, of Bayard,
Grant county, W. Va , sixty three miles
sou. h of Cumberland, Md. This Company
has the sarue officers and management as
the North Branch Coal and Coke Company,
of Fairfax, W. Va. Tuere are 5,4) acres of
coal in this plant. Bo:h properties have
tVen opened up and the coal tested and
found to be of a sujierior quality for fuel
and coke.
In connection with the coal plant a large
s'ore will be run at both towns. The store
proerty of Mr. C E Brant, at Bayard. W.
Va , has already been purchased. Mr.
Chas. P.. Colborn, the manager of both
plants, bas had a successful and large expe
rience with the o! arid coke plants in the
Coimellsville region, and more recently
with the lari? plants of the H. K. G. Davis
coal and coke ompanies on the line
of the West Virginia Contral and Pittibargb
Railroad. There is no doubt but Ihe gen
tlemen at the head of these companies will
make a success of their venture, and they
arc specially fortunate in securing the ser.
vi res of Mr. Colborn a. the manager of their
plants.

Judge J. Norman Martin, of Lawrence
County, has rendered a decision which ef-f-jctsevery

Allegheny Comity Reform School. Tbe de
cision was given in the case of the county of
Lawrence against the township of Big Run,
and is a test case.
About three years ago young Orville
Moore was tried for some offense and sen-tr-nced
lo the R.-forui School at Morganza,
Allegheny county. After his term ha 1 ex
pired, tbe County Commissioners attempted
tocolltct the bill for the mai itenance of the
boy at the farm from the school authorities
of the township where the boy bad lived.
The poor authorities, also, refuse! to pay
the bill, on the ground that young Moore
bad been sent to Morgar.za on sentence of
court, and, therefore, the whole county is
liable, and not Ibe township. Nearly every
township in the county, and tbecily of New
Castle as well, bave boys in Ihe Reform

Judge Martin decided that the township in

Hi Kindness Won $10,000.
H. M. Crisinger, a young farmer living at
Greensburg, is better off by $10,000 than he
was a week ago. Three months ago Cris
inger visited Pittsburgh, and while walking
down Fifth avenue was accosted by an old
man, who introduced himself as David Dal
l'tsnn,of Wheeling. W Va. He told Cris
inger he had lost his porketbook, containing
a sum of money and a railroad ticket to
Wheeling, and wound np by asking Cris
inger to help him out of the predicament.
With some menial reservations about be
ing swindled, be got a aupper for Dallisoo,
snd then bought a Wheeling ticket and saw
the old fellow safely on bis train. Dalllson
said he would return the money, and took
Crisinger's address.
That particular amount of money never
came, but bast Monday in the mail taken to
the farm from this city was a letter from a
Wheeling attorney telling Crissinger. that
old Mr. i'aliison was dead, and that his will
was found with a codicil bequeathing $10,
000 to tbe young man, in recognition of, bis
kindness to a stranger in a strange city.
OUR PUBLIC HEALTH.
Instructions from the Board of
Health to School Directors
It is not generally known that the State
Board Of Health issues from Harrisburg to
the school directors, superintendents, trns-
tees, teachers and others in authority otli jial
circulars regarding school hygiene. Toese
circulars contain much practical and helpful
information on points which it ia welt for
the children's guardians and teachers to
know. Among tbe subjects thus treat
ed are the care of tbe eyes, the water supply,
cleanliness, wet clothing, ventilation and
warming, exercises, contagious diseases.
hours of study, overwork, tobacco and nar
cotics, selection of a site for a school, plans
for the building, beating, lighting, drainage,
and otaer matters of importance.
Just now, when the matter of contagious
diseases aud quarantine is occupying the
attention of the citizens and school guardi
ans, the recommendation of the Slate Board
of Health on the subject may be of inter
est. CO2ITAUI0CS DISEASES.
Tbe following is quoted from circular No.
33 :
All children should be vaccinated before
being admitted to school. All people suf
fering from diphtheria, scarlet fever, small
pox, varioloid, measles, or contagious dis
eases of the eye or skin, ought to beexclu
ed from school until pronounced cured and
innocuous to other children. ' When any of
the above d.seases are in a family, all the
children of that family should be excluded
from school so long as Ihe danger of com
municating tbe disease exists. Teachers
should be required to report all cases of con
tagious diseases in their schools to the
Health Ollicer or Burgess. When any of
tbe above diseases are epidemic in a commu
nity the schools ought to be closed until the
disease subsides. Tbe following statement of
periods of infectiousness, taken from Akel's
school hygiene, may be of value :

Whooping cough Six weeks from the
commencement of disease, if all cough bas

Under judicious treatment the period of
infectiousness may be considerably shorten

admitted to any school after a shorter period
of absence, aud should be provided with a
medical certificate, that be or she is not lia
ble to communicate Ibe disease.

SPRING ELECTIONS.
How to Prepare for Them Underthe
New Law.
The elections in Ihe various boroughs and
townships of this oonty, on February 21
next, will be conducted precisely as w-s the
election in November 8 last- So far as the
actual voting and the duties of offi cers on
election day are concerned the provisions of
the Baker Billot Law applicsole to both
tnese elections are identical, iou: witb re
gard to the preliminaries there are differ
ences of tbe utmost importance. The meth
od of nominating tickets for the February
election, and of preparing the ballots tor the
third Tuesday of that month, are so radical
ly different under the new law from the
custom of long standing in many districts.
that officials upon whom duties are devolv
ed by the new law, as well as citizens inter
ested in local political affairs and in the pro
motion of good municipal government.
should lose no time in famiiarizing them
selves with the new req-iirements. . To aid
in the dissemination of information on this
subject, we herewith present an epitome of
those requirements of the Baker Ballot Lw
which will materially effect tbe 5D election
districts of Somerset county in preparing for
tbe February election, and which differ from
ths provisions that controlled the prepara
tiona for the election in November.
15 THE BOBOl'UH.
In boroughs one primary and one certifi
cate will suffice for each party.
These certificates, which will be furnished
in blank by thecounty commissioners, must
be fiied with the borough auditors, and it
then becomes the duty of these officials,
after the time lor filing objections bas ex
pired, to see that pre per and legal ballots,
the cost of which is to be paid by tbe coun
ty, are prepared and ready for election day.
The time for filing certificates in boroughs
is not less lhan ten days before the election,
but it will be well to have ail the primaries
much earlier than t'au (many towushit
have fixed on the last Saturday in January
as a suitable date), so as to allow ample time
for the discharge of the r sponsible duties
ilh which the auditors wili be charged.
Nominations for any borough office may
also be made by nomination papers or peti
tions signed by at least three p--r centum of
the largest entire vote cast for any officer
elected at the last election in the borough
To get a name on the ofli tial ballot fot chief
burgess in the borough of Berlin for instance
by virtue of nomination papers, or petitions.
such papers must be signed by at leust three
per centum of the number of votes cast for
Chief Burgess at the election last February.
Such nomination papers or elitious must
be filed witb tbe bjrougb auditors not less,
than seven days before the election, but
should be filed much eatlier for the reason
heretofore stated with regard to the certifi
cates of nomination.
Oljectiona as to the form of certificates or
papers must be sent in writing to, and deter
mined by, the borough auditors. The time
for filing such objections is within three
days after the last day for filing. Objections
as to the validity of certifitates or pipers iu
Boroughs are filed within the same period.
but with the Court of Common Picas, lo be
determined by it.
W HAT TO DO IS TW5Hirs
III a large number of the townships of the
county the new law works a revolution in
the method of naming a ticket. It niak-s
manda'ory, ia order lo gt party representa
tion on the official ba lot, party primaries.
There is no other way for political parlies to
get representation on the otll.ial ballot. Here
tofore in many of the tnwriahis primaries
bave not been held, but in lieu thereof one
ticket was made up, having printed on it
tbe names of all who de. ired lo run for office
whether Democrat or R, publican, and then
tbe voter on election day made his choice.
This was very easy, simple and satisfactory,
but the new law sets it tuIJc aud puis in lis
place party primaries or nominating meet
ings. Ia undivided townships, only one certifi
cate will be ma lo out by e.ach political par
ty. It will be fiied witli the township aud
itors. But iu townships that are divided
into two or more election d. st ricts, such as
Quemahoning, il will be the duty of the
officers of the primary meeting in each elec
tion district first to certify to toe township
auditors Ibe party nominees for j ide aud
iniK-ctor of elections and ais j for registry
assessor aud then to consoii date the vote of
the townships ou school directors, supervi
sors, constable and tbe other township
ollicers, and j jintly certify on the blank form
furnished by thecounty commissioners the
nanus of the nominees to the township
auditors.
This must be d ne, according to the letter
of the law, st least ten day before the elec
tion. Hut it maybe w -il to reitera-.e here
what was said with regard to tht matter
under the bead of boroughs, that iu order
lo give the auditors sutlicio it time lo prop
erly discharge tti-.ir dutie the primaries
should he held not later thai the hut S it Ur
du in January, and ihe certiticue iiiel
immediately thereafter.
Nomination papers or petitions may a'so
be fi'.ed in townships affairs, aud Ihe Candi
da tea thus ptt.tioned for are entitled to be
named on the oMi.-iai ballot, providing the
papers arc sigoe-.l by at least Ihrei per cent,
of ihe largest entire vote cis: for any otli jcr
elected at tbe last election in the district or
township for whicli the nomination paper
is intended. Such nomination paper mus'
be tiled w.th the aud. tor j at least aevea days
b:fore the election, but shoaid be ii e l much
sooner ttiau this, as was exp'.aiuc-J above, so
that the auditors may have sutii.-.ttit time,
to prepare for election day.
Objections as to the form of any township
certificates or paper mu-,1 he sent in writing
to the auditors within three days after the
hist day for Cling, but ol j x-.ions as to the
validity of such papers or certificate go to
the Common Pleas l.'our: of the county for
decision within the same limit of time.
I: then becomes the duty of tiia toav.shlp
auditors to arrattge the da a file J with tHe.u
for the official hallo:, the expntae of print
ing which is bome, by lue couv.y. A sep
arate and 4 irrenl ballot will be necixury
in each election district, and in the town
ship of Q icmahonitig for iiiatan.t jv j sets
of ballots will be prepared, Ooe set fir each
eieclion district. Gnat care must ntcessar,
ly be exercised by the auditors in doing this
work. A mistake iu the form or matter of
the ballot mijht invalidate the elec:i an.
Application at the county commissioners'
office for proper blanks and iujtruo'.ior-s
will doubtiesj aid auditors rqa'-iiatiy in
concluding their work in a leril manner.
