with lreland's early history.
The first cottage is occupied by a
Gweedore girl who makes kell en-
broideries This industry was called so
because many of the designs are taken
of the old Celtic folk of '.Kells" and
other carly manuscripts. This cot

number eighteen, are pure Celtic
lasses The next cottage is carpen-
ter-shop, where the finer trades are
shown, and there is a boy there who
carves in wood the drinking cups,
or neither, as they are called. Here
also are made the designs for the
Celtic crosses, and out in the courtyard
is stone-mason who reproduces the
designs in stone which have been
brought from Ireland for that purpose.

asked for, and will no doubt be added
to the list. There are already twenty
five experienI ed detectives at jackson
Park, and among them are some who
have served on police forces in foreign
countries.
The trial and conviction of the mis-
creants will soon follow their detec-
tion and arrest. Whereas there is now
one police justice in Hyde Park, the
city proposes to put two there this
year, so that whatever crook desires a
change of venue can be accommodated
without loss of time.
There is also a police court on the
Fair Grounds, located between Sixty
second and SlXty-third Streets, with
an entrance from the street, so that
there will be no admission fee to the
court. We're the entrance from the
grounds the regular fee of so cents
would have to be paid by any one who
desired to attend court.
Two justices sit in Hyde Park dur
ing business hours, and one will re-
main all day at the Exposition police
court. Then, at 3 o'clock, o: after the
work OF the day outside is over, one
OF the othe; justices could help the
Exposition mag strate, thereby virtu-
ally converting three justices into
four The Exposition Company is to
ray for the extra justice, while all
fines, etc, are to 30 to the city, just as
they do in the regular courts.

ont describing the alleged wrong
doer and giving his age, height, COM
plexion, dress and other details. This
description Is then telephoned first of
all to the exit stations and then to
overy other station on the grounds. In
shis way every officer has full de-
scription of the man IN a few minutes
after his discovery.
Should visitor have his pockets
picked, say in the Agricultural Build
ing. he should Immediately report the
fact to an officer, and give him as good
a description as possible of the thief.
Then the officer. would step to the
nearest telephone station and send the
facts to everv other officer They
would be telephoned to the exits first
because naturally thief, would make
break to escape as soon as possible.
Then they would be communicated to
all the other stations on the ground,
and the facts in the case would be
known at the southern end of Midway
Plaisance but minute or two after
the affair occurred at the north end of
the grounds. The thief is then COM
pletely trapped and his arrest is only
question of few moments.
The force will be increased to 500
men when it becomes necessary. but
so thorough is the organization that
professional criminals are giving.
Jackson Park wide bert /. and as

superintendent Bonfield has sent
out invitations to the superintendents,
of police and the heads of detective
bureaus of every city of any promin-
ence in this country and to the super ,
intendents of all the prisons and re-
formatories. He has asked them to
cooperate with him by suggesting
men who would be suitable The
number of favora BILE replies thus far
is large and encouraging, and others
of similar nature will come in as
soon as the councils OF other legis-
lative bodies of certain cities can take
the necessary steps in the matter!
The large Eastern cities, like Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, will render every assistance.
The men that Superintendent Bon
field wants to constitute his force are
detectives and ex-detectives, police
officers and ex-poliee officers, prison
officials and ex-prison otiicials-es-
pecially men who have been pensioned
after many years service. Such men
know the criminals of the country and
would recognize them as soon as they
made their appearance.

and woven into the cloth. l call it an
old-fashioned spinning wheel because
they know no other in the Irish homes
and I sometimes doubt if such fabric
could be made on any other. In every
one of these cottages is reproduced eX-
actly the same state of affairs that eX-
lists in Donegal, and if any one i'm
agines that they are too premature
they have only to remember that the
girls and the work come from place
thirty-six m les from a railway in the
very heart of Ireland and show the
work that is now going on in hundreds
of cottages where few years ago all
was idleness and poverty.
No attempt has been made to re-
produce the interior of the castle, now
ruin. The large space has been di-
vided into two rooms. One is a lecture
and concert room, where during the
summer Irish music will be given, and
at stated times Mrs. Hart and others
will lecture on the subject of fostering
by benevolence home industries among
the poor. In the larger room is dis
played the work done by the people.
In lone of the cottages are articles
offered for sale. in the center of the
large room in the castle is the huge
statue of Gladstone by Bruce Joy, the
! famous sculptor, and around the walls
are hung portraits of famous Irishmen

are also many cases showing old and
curious Irish jewelry, and the Century

signs will be at once frustrated All
this will be done by telephone, and
the system that Superintendent Bon
field has perfected will be as effective
as it is unique. He has divided the
Exposition grounds into six districts,
and each district is subdivided into
two sections. There are two tele-
phones in each section. and compe-
tent man to attend to each phone.
The section is in command of a Lieu
tenant and Sergeant is at each.
There is also a telephone at each

der the charge of John Bontield, whose
long experience in police and detective
matters eminently qualities him for
the position. Superintendent Bonheld
now has force of $50 picked men un-
der his command. All of the detec-
tives now in the service are chosen be-
cause of their familiarity with the
faces and schemes of the oiiy-tongued
and light-fngered gentry. These men
have been selected from the detective
forces of all the great cities of Amer
lea, and almost all of the European
countries are represented OF the force.
The object of having detectives from
these various sections of the earth is
that the Worlds Fair visitors may be
protected from all sharpers. be they
from Chicago or from other points.
Superintendent Bontield has organ
lied complete detective service for
the Exposition. He proposes, as far
as possible, to prevent any known
blackleg from entering Jackson Park.
To attain this end, six detectives of
various nationalities are posted at each
of the Fairs gates. This heme, de-
vised by Detective Bonfield. precludes
the possibility of any crook escaping
detection and arrest should he commit
any crime in the park. Should any
evil-doer succeed in entering the park
without being recognized, he will soon
be discovered and his presence made
known in the Superintendent office,
and in the various patrol districts.
Immediately man will be detailed TO
