with his own peculiar way. He became acquainted with the family of Herman Storms, a rich farmer, whose property is valued at SOC
 Tho farmer did not like the new arrival, but the new religious habits were forcibly impressed upon Mrs. Maria Storms, her son Harry and daughter Mary, both past their teens. The majority soon obtained control of the household, and Mrs Jane Howell, Mrs. Minnie Stewart and Eliza Berry were induced to join the band Lately the band was increased by two long haired men, who called themselves ''Silas" and "John the Baptist"
 The neighbors noticed that the new corners worked on Sunday and about twice 0 month held what was called an Angel Dance" All were scantily robbed and waved huge blanket with which to drive away the devil. Those of the neighbors who had young sons and daughters became aware of the temptation and set about to rid the village of the evangelist and his followers.
 A short time ago three of them were ar rested for working on Sunday and two served four days in the jail here for the offense. Now the whole band has been arrested charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud Herman Storms out of his property. By an agreement drawn up Garry Storms was to have the property and the elder Storm should receive $100 and board and clothing for the remainder of his days. All were to meet in Justice W. B. Smiths office at Park Ridge yesterday and witness the signature to the agreement, but they were all placed under arrest and given a hearing immediately afterwards. The affidavit, in part states that the lcnspirators deny, ridicule and curse all regular religion and religious customs; recognize no Sabbath and set up a false god of their own, declaring that the said Mnason to be the only true and living god. In consequence of this the household of Herman Storms has been turned into a petty and grinding despotism, under the dogmatic rule of Huntsman T. Mnason, aided and abetted by his said co-conspira- tors, wherein unseemly revelry often occurs and disorder reigns and the laws of society religion and state are de1ied and reviled to the scandal of the neighborhood and great injury to public morals.
 There were several people who testified against the evangelists at the hearing be- fore Justices Smith and Wortendyke Herman Storms testified that Mnason refused to have meat in the house, and, as he also refused to allow him the use of his wagons and horses, he was compelled to do without them. The witness gave a vivid sketch of the "Angel Dance," but was trifie backward on that matter He said that Mnason ordered the women to get up on the breakfast table and dance around the eatables before food was partaken. Though the property was to be trans- | ferred to Garry, Storms son, it is gener- ally believed that Mnason would soon have secured control and ownership of it.
 All were placed under bonds of $1, ,00O, and, as they refused to give bonds, they will be held to await the action of the grand iurV

Men Who Parade in Cages with Wild Anil mals Get Thirty Dollars a Month.
 "l never go into a cage of wild beasts unless it is absolutely neces- sary," said veteran animal trainer to the Cincinnati Times-Star. "In the first place it is dangerous, and then there is nothing to be gained by it. What Is the use of risking ones life for nothing2 I used to do it when l was younger, but don't want to do it any more. Showmen once thought it was an, attraction, but the people don't ap- preciate the danger of the perform ance, so that is seldom done any more. John Robinson will not allow anyone to go on parade ina cage of beasts, and he is right. Do you know that during the season am continually an noyed by men who want to go into the cages? A good trainer will not risk his life so foolishly, and it is only novices who take the fearful risk. Some people think there is a lot o1 money in it, but know that most of the men now parading in cages are work. ing for no more than thirty dollars a month. Showmen offer no induce.
 ment, but often they will permit a man to go on parade with a den o1 lions if he insists on it and agrees be- fore witnesses to take all the risk up on his own shoulders. They do it fol glory, but don't see where the glory comes in. I used to have a cage o1 leopards that I raised from kittens. went in with them for few years, but when they got full grown quit it. fresh young man who was pining fol glory insisted upon taking the place

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
The Question of . New High schoo
 Again Under Discussion.

The Question of . New High School Again Under Discussion.
 The board of education held an ad'
 journed meeting last night, and the necessity for new High school build. ing was fully discussed. A statement from Superintendent Crosby was read condition of the High school room, the great inconvenience to teachers and pupils on this account, and the bad sani- taFy condition caused by the contracted floor space.
 The discussion among the members of the board started from the meeting of tha voters of the center district last November, when it was voted to ask the council to extend Church street to tho rear of the land deeded to the Bron- son library, and to convey to the center di9trict a lot for the purpose of erecting High school building. This vote went to the council and was referred to the road board, where it was tabled and lnokhing has been done about it since. I All the members of the board oi education are not in favor of thls site for a High school building and MI Henderson stated that the committee on ! sik& came to the conclusion that they would not accept this one unless they c0Nld get the land for nothing. Judge Wsbster and Representative Saxe favored the site and the board adopted th4 following resolution: d.. @Voted, that the committee appointed brthe board of education and district Icohmittee request the common counci to convey a portion of the Bronson
 libsary land to the center school district foEa High school as soon as possible" Mr Henderson stated that if the condition of the High school was SC
 bad temporary quarters should be
 rented in the center, and it was voted \ that the committee on teachers and the superintendent be a committee to con sider the advisability of increased room and report at the next meeting.
 F A. Carpenter of Franklin, Mass
 was engaged as assistant teacher in tht High school at a salary of $1 100. The teachers were given permission to dis miss the scholars at recess on the after noon of the May festival. Superintend
 ent Crosby brought up the question of {

THE STRIKE 4 FAILURE
Union Carpenters Refuse to
 Obey the Leaders.
A BATTLE IN THE FAIR GROUNDS
Put Ont of Jackson Park and Got in a Fight With the Guards Deprived of His Pass He is Set Down Outside.

CHICAGO, April 25. - Alexander F. Russell, president of the building trades council, went down to Jackson park to see why some of the carpenters had not obeyed the order to strike.
 The pass on which he entered the grounds specifics that he shall not inter fere with the workmep. He disregarded this, however, and ordered the men at work on the German building to quit work. They refused to do so, and, as MT. Russell persisted in his efforts to induce the men to strike, they called the Colum- bian guard to eject him from the building.
 After lively scrimnlage, in which Mir, Russell got black eye and one or two of the guards were knocked down, Mr. Rus sell was put in the patrol wagon and +carted to the police station. His pass was taken from him, and by direction of Director of Works Burnham he was es- 3corted outside the grounds and released.
 The strike, as far as the Fair is con cerned, is going to be 8 failure. Nearly all the men are at work to-day, despite thf threats of the leaders, and they say they will continue to work.

FOUNDED BY A MAccARTHY.

BIarney Castle and the Famous Stone
 Which Imparts Persuasive Powers.
 Blarney castle was founded about i450 A. D. by Cormack MacCarthy, sur named "the Strong" the lord of Mus kerry and chief of a younger branch of that great MacCarthy family who once ruled all Cork and for many years waged a fierce but, according to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, not always sue cessful contest for it's possession with the Saxon invader. In the struggle the lords of Musl1erry took an active part and shared both the triumphs and defeats of their illustrious kindred, their stronghold of Blarney being sew eral times lost and regained by them. It was captured in 1902 by Queen Eliza beth's troops, but was restored to it's owner, MacCarthy, who was created Viscount Muskerry. In 1642 the earl of Orrery captured and retained it un- til 1858, when the then Lord Muslxerry, who had been made earl of Clancarty, received it back. The last earl of Clancarty espoused the cause of the Stuarts, took up arms in behalf of James II. and followed that unhappy prince into exile, after his defeat. The possessions being forfeited, William of Orange granted the estate of Blarney to Sir George Jeffereyes, in whose family it still remains. As stated pre- viously, the castle was erected in 1450, the date being inscribed upon stone in the wall of the tower near it's sum- nit The stone also bears the name of Cormack- MacCarthy, the founder of the fortress. This is the stone known to fame as the "Blarney stone." It's supposed power of imparting the gift of persuasion and facility of language to any person who shall kiss 1t has been often described and extolled in prose and poetry, but it's origin is not known to a certainty. e
