Mrs. seach-Ths Romance of Her
Life

Mrs Beach, scrap Of whose personal
history is given in the following article from
recent number ofthe New York Pres, was
resideu, OF this town for several years du-
ring the days Of construction on the South
Penn r T. Her only son lost his life in
the explosion of the dynamite factory two
miles north Of town. People in and about
Somerset have none but pleasant recollec-
tions of Mrs. Beach and the Press article
will recall 10 their minds the many exhibi-
tons Of her daring horsemanship witnessed
while she resided here:
Everybody up on horse matters knows
that Mrs Beach has received fourteen prize
ribbons in five years, and that that IS re-
msrkable record; that she is the lady mis-
tresS of the most fashionable riding school
in town, and that she is wonderfully clev-
er woman in various ways She and her
daughter, Miss Belle, were the feminine rid
ers ofthe recent horse show, aud il was
quite the thing to comment upon their
grace and style Mrs. Be1ch's place among
the best known women in New York is
unique. She is not snly professional rid
er, but lady" as the elite use the word.
Mrs. Hicks Lord and Mrs Beach we're the
first women in New York TO ride saddle
horses in the park attended by grooms. In
those days Mrs. Beach was one of the fash
ionable by right Of birth and an abundance
of money. Her husband was member of
the Produce exchange.
She WAS born in Connecticut of cold
stock" At the age of three she elung to a
horses tail one day. aud the big brute
switched her all around among its feet,
where it could get good look at her. She
wasn't a bit frightened, and she solemnly
declares tha; the old horse said to her:
That's right. little girl. You find out all
about us horses. and wen be your friend al
ways. We like you She supposes she
must have had some peculiar gift, for she
always understands and sympathizss with
them, and the most fractions animal obeys
her wishes.
The old nag down in Connecticut was a
truthful prophet, for the romance Of her life
was brought about on horseback, and when
reYerses came she earned her living on
horseback. For seven years she has taught
the aristocraiic danes and maidens of New
York the secrets OF the saddle aad kep; her
social standing Her life has had other tri-
ais besides financial reverses. At the age of
twenty-one her only son was blown to at
oms by an explosion. But the brave little
woman has kept her heart and courage
through it all, and she is as bright and
CHEEKY as her particularly vivacious daugh-
tiers, with whom she lives in Hat on Fifty
ninth street. There is no one who could
fill ber place as diplomat and riding iu-
structress in the -Four Hundred. She is not
fond Of notoriety, though. She says she
felt like somebody's old yaller dog" all
through the show, for people constantly
nudge each other and whisper very sudibly
as she passes, ''Oh, see; there's Mrs. Beach,"

John Burke was lodged in jail Saturday,
charged with desertion. feyer a scoandrel
deserved being locked up, Burke does Three
months ago Burke deserted his wife and
family-ihFee or four small children-in
Milford township but not until after he had
demolished all of The scaniy furniture in the
house and abused his family most brutally.
The neighbOrs appe lied TO the Children's
Aid Society Of this place for assistance f5r
the deserted family. Mrs. Barke and her
children were brought 10 Somerset and in
stalled in a house rented and furnished for
them by members of the Society. No sooner
we're they comfortably settled in their new
quarters-in fact on the very fist evening
than .dr. Burke Int in ar appearance.
When several Of the ladies of the Society Sis-
itei Mrs Barke that evening they were sur
prised to fad her husband in the house,
seated in front o f the warm kitchen stove.
He was very penitent. and succeeded in gain
ing the good will Of the members of the So
ciety by signing the pledge and making pro-
fuse promises for his future good behavior.
All went well for about three weeks, when
one evening Burke went home drunk aud
broke all the dishes and some Of the furni-
tire provided by the Society for his family
When he became sober he effected a recon
ciliaiion with his wife. He secured en-
plovment al the Somerset House and for a
week or two deported himself like man
Then Burke commenced drinking again 1t
is reported that he frequently boasted on The
street corners that there was no necessity for
him to work, as himself and family were
being kept By the Children's Aid Society,
and that often he would so home and de-
mend of his wife: Haven't the Society
brought anything to-day p The culminat-
ing point arrived Christmas day when Burke
went home intoxicated and iaunted his wife
by exhibiting a five dollar bill and demand
ing that she go TO the Society for Christmas
presents for herself and children. Not sue
ceeding in raising his wifes ire by this
means, be took TO smashing the furniture in
the house, and finally 10 beating his wife.
Ms. Burke fed from the house in order TO
escape his fury. Saturday she caused bis
arrest. Mrs Burke is very deserving wo-
man, and has the sympathy of all who
know Of her sad condition. She is very
willing 10 work in order to help support her
family. Burke, it is said, stole most Of the
money she earned and spent il for whiskey.

Townships Must Foot the s,us.

Judge J. Norman Martin, of Lawrence
County, has rendered a decision which ef-
fsc,s every county in Western Pennsylvania,
and also every county sending minors to tbs
Allegheny County Reform School. The de-
eision 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 0rville
Moore vas tried for some olfense and sen
tsnced 10 the Reform School at Morganza,
Allegheny county. After his term had ex-
pired, the County Commissioners attempted
to collect the bill for the maintenance ofthe
boy at the farm from the school authorities
Of the township where the BOY had lived
The poor authorities, also, refused to pay
the bill, on the ground that young Moore
had been sent to Morganza on sentence of
court, and, therefore, the whole county is
liable, and not the township. Nearly every
township in the county, and the city Of New
Castle as well, have boys in the Reform
School under circumstances much the same.
Judge Martin decided that the township in
which the minor had residence is respon-
sible. and not the county.
