ELMER E. BECK. I agree with Mr. Adam there, and if some of the Inmates have sworh falsely, the public has a right to know who the Inmates were, and If the inmates have sworn truthfully, the grand jury will stand by its recommendation. In the last paragraph Mr. Adam says: "In the meantime, we will give Superintendent Smith the same advantage that is accorded to every other accused person anil refuse to believe him guilty until a case has been made out against him." I am convinced that there was false swearing, and I believe every other grand juror will stand with me. As a farmer, manager and neighbor, 1 believe Mr. Smith is an excellent man, from what I have learned about hint> but the sworn testimony given by a number of Inmates justified our recommendation and I will stand by that recommendation unless In the fourth paragraph the Record says: "Until Mr. Beck can give the people something more defluite." As a grand juror I have no light to make public any evidence unless the court gives me the permission to do so, and the people of Jefferson county know that, even if Mr. Adam Is uninformed as to what is the duty of a member of the grand jury. The members of the grand jury had no fault to And with Mr. Smith so far as the management of the home was concerned, and we mentioned the fact that our report. Elmer E. Beck, replying to the article appearing In Friday's issue of the Brookvllle Record and reprinted In Saturday's Issue of The Spirit, says: Editor Spirit In the second and third paragraph you can see the inconsistency of thr Record: "It is the understanding of the Record that the work of the grand jury is done under an obligation of secrecy." And then the Record goes on to,state that the grand jury has not informed the public as to anything they saw. The Record admits that It is the duty of the grand jury to keep its findings a secret and then turns against its own belief and expects the grand jury to Inform theipublic. In regard to the letters published last week, there was no excuse for Mr. Adam failing to comprehend the reason the letters were published, for the reason was given ot that time.

He endeavored tjv'ltrouse her but failed. McihwJ—aid was quickly summoned but life had mean while ebbed away. She is survived by her husband and one child. The funeral will be held on Thursday, and It is expected to be attended by practically all the prominent clergy in the American hierarchy who can reach Philadelphia In time for the obsequies. The body will lie in state at the cathedral and will be entombed back of the altar of the great church beside those of Bishop Egan, Bishop Conwell and Archbishop Wood, who were his predecessors in the diocese. This was his wish. The diocesan counselors met last night and began arranging the detail of the funeral. Reckoned as one of the church's greatest orators, Archbishop Ryan made his first oratorical hit when he spoke before the Irish patriot, Daniel O'Connell, when the latter wan held in Dublin jail by the English government. The future archbishop was then in his early teens, and his ability so impressed the great Irishman that he pptted the red head of (he youthful speaker and advised h'iin to cultivate iiis talent for speech, adding that by it he would become famous some day. Years afterward in St. Louis his fame as a preacher reaching Rome, he was invited by Pope Pius IX to deliver Lenten lectures in English in Rome. This was In 18U8. Four years later he was coadjutor bishop of St. Louis. Eleven years later he was archbishop of St. Louis, and the next year he was transferred to the city of Philadelphia, where he was active until the day of his death. He prepared for the priesthood with the object of serving In the United States, and having been ordained a suz-deacon before leanlvg Ireland, was ordained priest in St Louis in 1S5:>. He was professor of English literature at Carondolet the ological seminary, St. Louis, and became recotor of the Si. Louis cathedral ill 185li, and subseqently pastor of St. John the Evangelist's church. During the Civil war he was chaplain of a military prison and hospital. After serving as vicar general he was made coadjutor bishop of St. Louis In 1S72, being consecrated as bishop of Tricomia. He was promoted archbishop in.1883, and in 188 1 became archbishop of Philadedphia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—The improved sentiment in financial and business circles previously noted in these columns made further progress. Since the first week in December prices have risen 10 points, involving an appreciation of more than $600,000,000 in active securities since that date. Under such circumstances more or leBS realizing must be expected after every considerable rally, and this explains the top heavineM of the market shown during the past week. The stock market, it should be reorganised, has largely discounted favorable influences in advance, and purchases after a rise of nearly 10 polnta should be made with caution. On further pronounced advances we advise profit-taking. bility of a bill being enacted creating a permanent, tariff commission. The tariff situation is somewhat complicated by the movement for reciprocity with Canada: a movement which is much more popular in the House than in the Senate or with special interests. It Is possible that President Taft will try to Becure a vote upon this subject before the adjournment of Congress, and that if he fails may call a special sessions for that purpose. The President should receive the unqualified support of the people in his present resolute stand for better trade relations with out Northern neighbor. We have shown our friendship' ing the border to remain unprotected for years. We no more need protection from the industrial or commercial standpoint than we do from the political standpoint. They would immensely profit by a freer commercial interchange, and the only impediment comes from a few small or stubborn Interests who are quite able to take care of themselves without protection. What other nations, especially Germany, will say remains to be seen. Possibly they will claim lower rates under the favored nation clause. JOHNSTOWN, Feb. 13.—George F. Gossard, aged 34, was killed instantly yesterday morning In the Pennsylvania railroad by a passenger train. He was an inspector and walked into the path of the train. He resided in Conemaugh.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.— President Taft returned from his reciprocity tour at eight forty-five o'clock this morning. With tlio amalgamation of the two under the same title—and this, it is said, will be the University of Pennsylvania. and not State college—the congressional appropriation* and the income from the $51)0,000 bond* which the state 'holds in trust for the use of the college, will go to thu iiombined institution.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 13.—The election of seven members to the board of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania within the last month to fill the vacancies caused by death or resignation, is said to have a larger significance than apepars on the surface.
