A WuKESBARRE MAN named Beam
ish after trial and conviction In court
at the above named place, for crook
edness in the management OF the
funds of the School Board, was sent
to jail, last year. Not long since
the friends of Beamish got out pc
tition asking the State authority to
pardon him. Preachers and other
respectable people in the community
in which Beamish lived signed the
petitions, and they were sent to the
Board of Pardons at Harrisburg,
which after examining the case re
commended pardon. Governor
Hartranft signed the pardon, and
Beamish is out of jail. Nova certain
clique of men are denouncing the
Governor for the release of Beamish.
If people of the community in which
Beamish lived had not petltoned for
his pardon be would never have been
pardoned What is right is right.
Let the blame fall where it belongs.
Let it lie at the door of the great
first cause, and when you do that you
Will find that it does not lie at the
door of Governor Hartranft, but at
the door OF the people of the home
of Beamish.

Economy of a student.

The Cornell student whose sched-
ule of annual expenses at Cornell was
SO surprisingly small (total S1S46S,
including S1.59 for washing, and S34.
06 for board), has looked over his
cash book and found no reason to
qualify his statements. He writes to
The Tribune with an air of genuine
ness which carries conviction that he
is telling the truth, and declares that
he and his chum contrived to reduce
their expenses for food below dollar
week. They had potatoes, mutton,
cornmeal, graham -four, milk and mo-
lasses as the main elements of diet.
Their potatoes were either baked or
boiled, and were served with milk or
flour gravy; their cornmeal and gra
ham flour, with milk, gave them corn
mush or graham mush; their NUT
ton was boiled or roasted, and some
times it was used in a pot-pie; and
they had every day either graham
gems, corn bread or biscuit. The
daily allowance for each person was
as follows: one pound mutton (3l
cents); one pound potatoes q cents);
one quart milk Is cents); one pound
mush-corn or graham four-(2 cts);
molasses, salt, etc. Qt cents); total,
IA cents per day, or SO cents per
week, or 1920 per term of forty
weeks. They did not have more than
half the time, as they could not keep
it in warm weather, and hence they
brought down their board bill to S34
O6. Cook pound of Indian meal
thoroughly, says this Cornell gradu-
ate, and one man Will find it difficult

confident that with economy, expe-

at yearly expense of less than $50,
and yet have the health and strength
to pursue successfully the course of
studies.

A Jury that Did Not Know
How.

In the Common Pleas Court, No. 2, be-
fore Judge Fell, on the 18th ult, a claim
on promissory note was laid before the
jury. Proof was made of the claim, and
there being no defence the counsel said to
the jury: '' Gentlemen, there being no de-
fence, and we having proved our claims,
there is nothing for you to do but TO rem
der verdict in our favor. / hand you a
statement of the claim and its amount -
The foreman of the jury took the paper
and apparently did not know what to do
with II. He looked at it and then at his
brother jurors. Other jurors then took the
paper, and after scanning it closely looked
at the foreman. They continued thus gag
ing in a bewildered way at each other until
they were interrupted by an inquiry from
Crier Van Media as to whether they had
agreed upon verdict. At this they were
still more bewildered. The Judge kindly
informed them that there was no defence
and that they should find for the plaintiff.
Thereupon Mr.. Van Media told the foreman
to arise, and then said " Gentlemen, have
you agreed upon a verdict f' Foreman
"If the man is guilty let him pay the
money" Suppressed mirth caused Mr..
Van Medals face to glow like furnace as
lie confidentially informed the Court what
the verdict was. Instantly the Judge was
seen TO stoop, apparently to nick nm a niece
of paper which had fallen to the floor, and
when his face was again seen it reflected
the glow OF Van Medals, and the corners
of his mouth were seen to twitch convul-
sively. Calmly, but with 4 slightly quiver-
ing voice, he more fully instructed the jury
as to what was required Of them, and they
then rendered verdict for the plaintiff for
S332.50. The case was entitled the admin

weight. The opponents of the coin
hre making as much out of the ar
