On Friday Gov. Stone signed a large
batch of appropriation bills, including
the one giving the Butler Co. General
■ Hospital 500. Thanks. He disap
proved the bill amending the act of
■ March 31, 1*58: authorizing incorporat-
H companies to invest and reinvest sur-
H pins funds in mortgages, stocks and
■ other securities under certain limita-
H tions and restrictions, so as to include
all banks and banking companies incor-
H porated nnder the laws of this Commo
n wealth.
■ Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to section four, article eight, of
■ of the constitution requiring that all
I elections shall be by ballot. The Gov-
I ernor says this provision of the Consti
■ tntion has given general satisfaction.
I and is considered a safeguard in the ex
■ ercise of the elective franchise. The
I purpose of the amendment was to intro-
B dace voting machines in Pennsylvania
K similar to those being tried in New \ ork.
F On Saturday Gov Stone reduced the
■ .appropriation of eleven millions to the
I schools for two years to ten millions.
I and in his reasons refers to the fact that
I for 13 years after the adoption of the
H ' Constitution of 1874. only $1,000,000
■ were appropriated to the schools an-
H. nnally, the minimum permitted by the
■ organic law. Prior to 1874, the yearly
■ amount allowed was much less.
■ Gn Monday Gov. Stone disposed of
■ all the bills in his possession ana went to
■ Washington to see C^nay. He disaprov
■ ed the bill to provide for nn additional
I law Jndge of Erie connty,on the ground
■ that there is no necessity for «nch an
I official. He also disapproved items ag-
I gregating #II,OOO in the bill appropriat
I ing $6«,551.00 to the Pennsylvania State
I college. The items were for repairs to
buildings, maintaning campns walks
I- and roads, the department of physics.
I civil engineering, chemistry, psycho-
I logy and the biological and botanical
I laboratories. These are disapproved
1 cause the financial condition of the
■ Commonwealth does not justify them
I The McClain amendment to the gen-
I eral corporation bill, approved Thurs-
P day, was recalled by the Governor for
I investigation of the story that the meas-
I nre was "doctored" after its final pas
I sage in transmission to the Governor to
I "include" instead of "exclude distill
ing companies. A veto will probably
I follow. . .
I The Governor appointed William T.
L Bradberry and J. N. David i son, of Alle-
I gbeny, and W. H. Schwartz and W. .1
n Blakeley, of Pittsburg, trustees of the
1 Institution for Feeble Minded at Polk,

BERTHA BEILSTEIN was acquitted of
the charge of mnrdering her mother by
t_ r reason of insanity, which, according to
her own evidence, was superinduced by
spiritualism
Is there not food for reflection in that
verdict, or rather in the whole affair?
Some years ago a lot of female Spirit
ualists held their meetings in the second
story, of a business block not far from
onr Conrt House;, and we were inform
ed at the time by an occasional specta
tor that they were a "pack of free
lovers' and that tb;ir principal occnpa
tion at their meetings or concatenations
wa» the telling of indecent stories; and
so if spiritualism, or insanity or im
morality resulting from spiritualism, is
to be recognized in onr courts, the ques
tion is, where is it to end?

End of the lk-ilslciu Cast*.
With the same strange calmness that
has alwavs characterized her demeanor.
Bertha A. Beilstein faced the jury which
had tried her case, la.-t Saturday morn
icg. and heard them declare her " not
guilty by reason of insanity She was
absolutely unmoved by the words of
Foreman Graham, when he formally
rendered the verdict with more agita
tion than Bertha has ever shown.
Every eye in the conrt room was concen
trated on the prisoner, yet no one conld
detect the slightest emotion, or satisfac
tion. She walked back to jail a mo
ment latter with an expression of utter
indifference.
When conrt convened at 9.30 the ver
dict was ready. In fact it had been
settled npon before the jnrors retired
the nisrht before. When the first few
ballots were taken after retirement Fri
day night, there was some division on
the question of insanity Three jury
men did not believe that the defense
had raided a reasonable donbt as to
Bertha's sanenefes The minority weak
ened gradually however, and before go
ing to bed it was nnanimonsly decided
to find the prisoner not gnilty by reason
of insanity.
It was understood shortly after 9
o'clock that the verdict wonld Is? receiv
ed in the larger conrt room. This cans
ed a terrific rush at the lower end of the
(jnarter Se-,- ns corridor Men even
invaded the Cle k of Conrt s quarters in
this room, and every inch of space, oc
cupied by the attorneys and witnesses
on other occasit .ns, was filled Sudclen
ly the new- be ; iuie noised about that
th : s was bnt a rase to keep the Oyer
and Terminer Conrt comfortably clear
and the mob rushed wildly across.
When the jurymen filed gravely down
the stairway, spectators were packed
like sardines in the conrt roam, and ev
en stood on chairs.
Bertha walked into court a moment
before the jury arrived, accompanied
by a deputy sheriff. She looked paler
than n E ia! She had l>een prepared for
the worst. Friends had warned her
that sh- shonld expect an adverse ver
dict, doing this to nerve her against a
possible collapse. There was a trace of
defiance in her manner as she walked to
the chair pointed out by the deputy.
She opened her fan with a snap and set
it in motion after one prolonged stare
aronnd the court room
When the jury appeared. liertha was
studying the pattern of the carj>et with
intense interest She stared at it a few
feet from her chair, and then let her
eyea follow the floor clear to the edge
of the crowd Then she polished her
finger nails industriously with a lace
embroidered handkerchief, and just as
the jury was seated she put one; white
hand up to her hair, and endeavored to
poll a curl just behind the scar on her
temple.
"Gentlemen of the jury will please
answer to your names, said Clerk
James E. Flinn. and then he called the
roll "T. W. Graham, Elizabeth, fore
man; Michael Haggarty Pittsburg:
David F. Kiskadden. Pittsburg; Charles
H. Lowe. Pittsburg; Rols-rt I). McCor
mick, Pittsburg; Martin Nicholas.
Pittsburg; ( ornelius Scully, Pittsburg:
Thomas Anderson. Pittsburg; Sigmnnd
Bender, Pittsburg; John A Cunning
ham, Pittsburg; Joseph Elliott. Home
stead."
Each one answered "here. The
foreman held a slip of white paper in
his hands. He turned it aronnd ner
vously and kept his eyes fixed on the
clerk" as though anxious to get rid of it.
Several of the jnryman were watching
Bertha She never returned their gaze,
however, until Clerk Flinn turned to
ward her with official solemnity.
"Prisoner at the bar, stand up. he
said.
liertha rose and, with her hands
clasjKfd behind her back, turned to
ward the jurymen and looked over their
heads A little group of sparrows flut
tered abont outside the window sill.
She watched them with some show of
interest
"Jurors look upon the prisoner
prisoner look upon the jnrors." com
manded the Clerk.
Bertha glanced along the two rows of
men. She noted the foreman, with his
little slip iff white paper
"Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon a verdict?' asked Mr.
Flinn.
"We have, came from the jury box
"And who shall answer for yon?'
continued the Clerk.
"Onr foreman
For a moment no one stirred. The
stillness in the courtroom was almost
painful. Many a man conld hear his
heart throbbing in the silence. Bertha
stood motionle with her hands still
dasped behind her. Then Mr. Graham
rose slowly. He spoke still more slow
ly
"We find the prisoner not guilty, he
said There wa < a second's pause "by
reason of insanity," he added, and then
sat down.
The hum of many voices rose in the
courtroom "Order! Order!" shouted
the tipstaves, sternly, rapping on the
desks.
Bertha glanced at the Clerk question
ingly, and then *at down, in response to
his gesture. There was neither si»r
prise nor joy depicted cm her connte
nance. She did not seem to hear the
whispered congratulations of her rela
tives near her. She did not ask per
mission to thank the jnrors or to shake
hands with tbeui. She- did not oven
indicate that she thought they ought to
be thanked
"Let the prisoner be remanded, said
Jndge Frailer.
Bertha arose?, and for the last time
was led back to jail. On reaching that
hnilding. she ob-erved that she was glad
of the verdict because it ended the trial.
She did n'jt pasn any opinion on the v<-r
diet itself, however.
"Yon are to be congratulated. Miss
Berths," said one of the jail attaches,
as she walked into the rotunda
Miss Boilstein smiled slightly, but
gave no other evidence that she heard
him Then she was locked up.
She will probably l>c taken to I)ix
mont. Her stay there de(ieuds on the
examination of the medical authorities
If they find she is sane now. she maybe
released soon Bertha's relatives evinc
ect great satisfaction at the verdict It
was no more than they expected, they
declared
Bertha did not sleep well Friday
night. She was restless and wakeful
and the suspense told on her. Never
theless. Dr A V. Chessrown, the jail
physician, declared that her physical
condition was as goc<d as could Is- ex
pected. He visited lier after she had
been remanded. So did Warden Mc-
Aleese. She talked very little to either
of them Bertha has reason to be
thankful that her case will net be dis
posed of an was that of John Swanson,
who was found not gnilty of an offense
by reason of insanity, but committed to
the penitentiary, just the same.
Strange as it may seem, many people
do not know that Bertha is still a ward
of the law, and many yet be committed
to the penitentiary for the rest of her
natural life, or until snch time as H)IC
hecomcs of sound mind.
This question was effectually settled
a few years ago by a Judge in the courts
of Elk county. In spite of the protests
of Warden Wright he was compelled to
admit a prisoner to the penitentiary
who had been acquitted of a crime
charged against him. The jury brought
in a yerdict of not gniltv by reason of
insanity The Court committed the
prisoner to the penitentiary, and then
he remained for several years until he
was pardoned by Governor Robert E.
Pattison and taken to the home of
friends in South Carolina
The prisoner in this case was John
Swanson a Swede. In several respects
his ca-e was similar to that of the young
wouuni who has inst been acquitted
lie had also made a desperate attempt
at suicide and, although it surprised
every medical man who studied the
case, he rec ivered. Swanson was serv
ing a term in the penitentiary and dur
ing incarceration lie attempted to corn
itiit suicide If. made a terrible wound
in his neck with a case knife, It never
healed, and for the rest of his life he
was compelled to stop a hole in his
throat whenever he wanted to eat or
drink. He could breathe through this
orifice, and was considered quite a cn
riosity. In fact, he- considered himself
one.and visitor* to the penitentiary who
formed the acquaintance of Swanson
were always treated to an exhibition
Swanson recovered from his wound and
served out his time, lb* returned to his
old home in Elk nty and after a year
spent there ijuietty he committed a fel
onions assault He was arrested and
tried onaciiar,'! o'felon on < it saulf and
battery with intent to kill. The jury
acquitted him liecans,! his attorneys
made out a strong case of insanity.
In such case the law requires that the I
prisoner shall IK> committed to some ;
safe place of detention nntil snch time j
as he shall liecome of sound mind.
The Elk county Jndge knew of no safer
place to keep Swan.-on than in the peni
tentiary, s<j he sent him there on an in
determinate sentence.
When Warden Wright read the com ,
mitment he refused to receive the man
He consulted a number of attorneys and
the Elk connty Judge, who declared he ,
knew where he was at. After almost
week of grubbing aronnd ;n the law
the Warden finally threw the doors op- 1
en and accepted Swanson There was ;
no help for it The law gives the Judge |
the right to say what is a safe place of
keeping and the Elk county Judge used
his best judgement
Swanson remained in the penitentiary
for many year-- His friends finally re
moved from Elk county to Sonth Caro
lina They petitioned Governor Patti
son for a pardon, offering to take tiie
man with them and provide for him the
rest of his life. As he was dying with
consumption and there were no objec
tions to the granting of the pardon it
was given. j
Bertha was taken to Dixmont asylum ,
Tuesday there to stay till she becomes
sane

How to Have Good Fruit on tlie
Farm.
THE APPLE CONTINUED.
The apple is a hardwood tree and
when set out should be fertilized heavi
ly. and the growth of the tree iavorei
all that it is possible until it comes to
bearing fiuit. then the orchard shonld
be kept in sward foi two or three years,
alternately, but remove sward from
aronnd the crown of the tree The
yonng orchard I shonld prefer to work
as follows. Plant ground to potatoes or
corn using well rotted barnyard ma
nnre. plowed down sow to wfieat in
the antnmn, fertilized with good com
mercial fertilizer, and sow to clover.
Do not pile barnyard manure aronnd
the crown of any tree A little well
rotted manure worked in the -oil is ben
eficial, but piled aronnd the tree it is
an injury and makes a good harboring
place for injurious insects Better use
barnyard manure for other crops, and
use commercial fertilizer for fruir.
Train young trees to what we call the
whip stock system, that is, allow no
limb to grow on the main stock until
your tree is about five feet or more in
height. You want air and sunshine
about the trunk of your tree if you do
not want to create a hotbed tor fungus
growth,and you want jour tree so that
you may work near it with your team
without tearing the bark from the
limbs. Prune your trees so that the top
is open to allow sunshine to your fruit.
Great care should be taken in pruning
trees, they shonld not l>e allowed to
form too much top. If we allow too
much top the tree will bloom too heavi
ly which will exhaust the vitality of
the polen. the tree not lsing able to
furnish nourishment sufficient to make
strong polen, and without being proper
ly polenized the fruit cannot develop
properly. There is more miss crops of
apples for want of polen than there is
by being killed by frost. In the spring
of IH'.t.s the heavy rains washed the pol
en from the apple blossoms and ''on-,e
quently there was very little good fruit.
1 said that we must not allow too much
top, neither must we prune too close
for the tree must have a sufficient
amonnt of leaves or it cannot grow, it
is by the action of the sun and air
through the i*ores of the leaves that the
sap is drawn up until it comes in con
tact with the oxygen of the air and re
turns between the «ap wood and bark
and forms new wood I grafted a good
hearty apple stock three feet from the
ground, the graft mane a very heavy
growth and was broken off by a heavy
storm during the summer, the next
spring I grafted again and again the
graft made a fine growth and was brok
en off the second time (during this time
I kept off all suckers i. and grafted the
third time, the tree did not respond bnt
died—roots and all. Why? For want
of leaves. Again I had a hearty plum
tree five feet high, I tied a piece of tap
ing yarn around the stock about three
feet from the ground where the stock
was al>onl one inch in diameter, the
tree grew for three years, showing poor
leaves the second year and died down
to the roots the third year, never send
ing np any spronts; >n exmniriation I
found that the string had cut through
the sap wood cutting oft connection be
tween the root and leaves causing the
death of the tree. When grafts on young
trees make strong growth there shonld
be a good stab driven close to the stock,
a cord tied tight to the stab to keep it
from sliding down and thin tied losely
aronnd the graft to keep storms from
breaking it. Should the graft stock
grow crooked, put. stabs on each side,
tie cord aronnd stab tightly thenaround
crook in graft and draw Htraight.
