ONE of the cases against F. A Beamish

day, but Mr.. Beamish failed to put in ap-

he was detained by sickness in his family

attendance, but the officer to whom it was
given failed to find him, and his bail has
been forfeited Thus the notorious L. A
Beamish, who has by his shrewdness evadcd

honorable settlement with the school board
after having on various pretexts had the
cases which were finally brought against
him in the courts postponed from time tc

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-Last Friday
VIM. Depue, living at the Delaware Water
Gap and an employee of the d. L. & W.
Railroad had his left hand very badly
mashed while in the act of coupling cars.
1t seems no bones were broken but the
muscles and arteries were so severly crushed
that the member presented fearful sight
Dr. l.. Bush was called to attend him and
did all in his power for him to save the
hand, in which he may be successful-but
we are informed it is doubtful.

A CoRREcTIoN.-In the publication of
the court proceedings last week in the case
of the commonwealth VS. Alfred Smith. our
reporter made the case appear contrary to
the facts In evidence, and made the prose.
cutor to appear rather ridiculous Mr.
James A. Young, of Tobyhanna Mills, the
prosecutor, is gentleman who is highly re.
spected by all who know him, and would
under no circumstances crowd himself into
place where he thought he was not wan.
ted. Mr.. Young had often taken passage
on this conductors train before, and always
paid his fare, and intended to do so, at the
time in question, but out of vindictiveness
was uncerlmonously jostled off the train
He was ready to pay his fare, or to step of
if it was against the rules, but defendant
gave him no time to do either Besides
Mr.. Young would never have attempted to
ride on the freight train or any other but
the passenger train if he could have reached
his place of destination by the passenger
train. But passenger trains do not stop
at Pocono switch and freight trains do, and
and that was the place where his business
called him on this as we'll as many other
occasions Democrat

People often wonder how it is that there
is such rush at the New York Store, which
IS fact that all speak Of We think the
reason is plainly to he seen by all who
trade there, for their prices are certainly
lower than the lowest And they are doing
their business on the principle they advocate,
that is, to sell for cash at cash prices, and
have but one price for all and that price the
Cotoest. Then, too, you can get almost any
thing in their line as they confne themselves
to their legitimate line of trade, and so can
offer larger assortment, which fact can be
fully appreciatde by tired shopper.

Rag We are Cheated. ~a

After spending three days last week at
Mord, Pa, in fruitless ballotings, and
extraordinary displays of political knavery,
the Democratic Congressional Conference of
the llth District adjourned to meet at this
place on Tuesday, October 18th. The coun-
ties comprising the district were fully repre-
sCnted both in Conferees and candidates,
each county having one of the latter and
some of them two. We are pleased to be
able to announce that our standing candidate,
the Hon. Amandus Orevus Greenwald, of
the Monroe Democrat, held his own famously
in all the ballotings, of which there were
some 1IO. A fair count and announcement
Of the vote of one at least of the ballots,
would have shown our distinguished neigh
Dor over the way to have been the real live
candidate of the party for Congress but this
was not in the programme, and to meet the
views of the opposing candidates who did
not mean that our distinguished friend should
undergo the burden of carrying congressional
honors on his stalwart shoulders, he was
cheated, yes. hasely cheated out of his due,
and we out Of the pleasure of yielding him
an earnest, hearty support. We have not as
yet interviewed the Hon. Mr.. Greenwald as
to the manner in which the fraud sets on his
tender gzzard, but presume that as sacri
fee for his party's good, he is willing to un-
dergo a period of long suffering and meek
submission to the behests of the friend who
presided over the Conference. So far as we
are concerned we can say that it makes but
little difference, as our independence will
enable US to support him in any way, but we
do pity Amandus, for underneath his calm
exterior there must thorn rankle which is
piercing him to his very soul. To be tickled
bya complimentary vote from one own coun-
" Conferees for time is all well enough
aud pleasant enough, and one is prepared,
as 1t were, for the drop which is sure to come
at the proper and expected time; but to
have one popularity 60 up, up, ballot after
ballot, and then, when the magic number
one Of majority announces ones selection as
the standard bearer of ones party for honors
in a scramble for Congressional distinction
to have political miscreant of chairman
Kill the vote by the announcement of mo
choice, is disappointment which no fellow
can stand you know, without feeling that
something has struck him. But never mind
neighbor. We are, you know, to have an
other shy at the prize. We shall then have
them on our own dunghil, and as you will
have the JEFF. to take off its coat, roll up it's
sleeves and join you in the consumation of
your congressional aspirations, there is no
telling what may be the end of it. Adopting
as our motto "Greenwald and theology, or
death, we think we must prove invincible
even in contest with Democratic .bummers

Hindoo Children.

remember very funny incident that
happened one day while | was visiting a
school 10 India This school was near the
street, where passers by could look in, and
where we could see all that was going on
outside | was sitting near the door on a
stool hearing the listle girls recite. Pretty
little girls they were toe, with their shining
black hair braided in light plaits sill over
their heads, AID spar g'el with tiny dots Of
ornaments. While they we're noisily reCit,
ing, noticed that qaite crowd of boys had
collected at the door, and we were evidently
objects of great curiosity to them. They
very soon began to be noisy, as boys are spt
to be, when policeman, gorgeou8ly sttired
in blue coat and scarlet turban, and brand
ishing huge bamboo cane, came aud dis
persed them. They did not ''stay dispersed,
however, notwithstandi g his official gran.
deur, and as soon as he was quite out of the
way, came back, bringing With them three
forloru looking calves, With which they frOl
licked and played, Seemi G to enjoy it i'm
meDsely; and l must say hat 1 was very
muoh.amused too.
The little girls have their games also, and
dolls, such fanny ones mot elegant wax sf-
fairs Ike yours, with real hair, blue eyes
that will go to sleep, and danny dress tia
will come off, No, they take bit of cloth,
roll it up tightly into bundle, and put char.
coal marks for the eyes, nose and mouth
Not very pretty dolls, you see, bat they love
them. and pet them and talk to them just as
you do, and seem TO Ell Joy them as much, and
perhaps more for they have so few pleasant
things in their lives tell you these things,
dear A American boys and girls, to make you
feel how much akin you are to these Hindoo
children, and yet how vastly different; for
this is the bright side of their young lives,
the happy innocent pars. But if could
show you the other si1e, show you their un
loved babyhood, their uutaughs childhood, as
they grow up in Ignorance aul the vilest
wickednels, bowling down to their uncOuth
idols Of wood and stone, With no knowledge
of Him who said, "Suffsr little children to
come unto me for of such is the kingdom of
heaven" an sure you would strive more
and more to help send that knowledge to
them--that heavenly knowledge that will
make them like you, make them really your
brothers aud sisters, because you will all be
the children of d Children's Work
for Children.
