THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
important Meeting CT the Board
Today.

An important meeting of the normal
school board will be held today. The
chief object of the meeting is to arrange
for settlements with the contractors
and begin operations under the recent
law making appropriations for the bet
ter maintenance Of the school.
Another matter which has obtruded
itself is the resignation OF the principal
Prof. E. L. Storment, though it will not
necessarily come up for consideration,
as members of the board say it affords
no subject for consideration. The
resignation is to take effect at the close
OF the term which is also the close OF
the year beyond which the principal
has not been employed The resigna-
ton is therefore held by the board to be
meaningless. Unless the present re-
lation between the board end the prin-
cipal should be renewed, bv mutual
consent it would terminate OF itself.
The only construction under the cir
cumstarces that can therefore be
placed upon it is that it is a notice
from Prof. Storment that he is not
open to Encouragement.
There has been Slight and friendly
disagreement between the board and
the principal concerning the latter's
functions. He insists upon the right to
employ and discharge teachers. The
board contends that his duties confne
him to the machinery of the school and
that his control over the teachers ex-
tends only to the direction of their
duties.
Members Of the board seen last night
do not know however whether this dis
agreement inspired the resignation.
Members Of the new board are Col.
J. f. Wilson Of Prescott who arrived in
the city yesterday morning, Territorial
Treasurer Cole. Territorial Snpernten-
dent of instruction Netherton, Mr.. J g.
7. Moriarty of Phoenix snd Rev. Daniel
kloss Of Tempe.

NOT A RELIGIOUS TOWN
How the Election Went at Peoria,
Illinois.

Late residents of Peoria, Ills., now
citizens of Phoenix have been very
much interested in the late municipal
election at Peoria. The result, how
ever, satisfactory from a Republican
stand point, shows that Peoria is the
natural home of distilleries rather than
g religious stronghold.
There were four candidatesfo for mayor,
three Republicans. Allen, Rogers and
Clark, and one Democrat, Hsine. AL
len is liberal and Rogers and CLARK
radical churchmen of different degrees.
Heine was Democrat and presumably
not much OF churchman. Allen re-
ceived 1858 votes; Rogers 932; Clark
liz ana Heine 4,106. giving Allen not.
withstanding the multiplicity of Re-
publican candidates, plurality over
his single Democratic opponent of PSI.
The Democratic majority in Peoria has
heretofore been about 1,300.

THE FAIRY STONE.
Found In Virginia-Supposed to Be Tai
isman Against EVIL.

Found In Virginia-Supposed to Be Tai
isman Against EVIL.
The Mother of Statesmen" has pro-
duced a number of good things from
first to last-chivalrous men, fascinat-
ing, soft-voiced women, fine horses and
the like, but that a popular fad should
originate with her is an altogether new
departure, says the Philadelphia Times.
Everything must have a beginning,
however, and who knows, now that the
fairy stone has found such favor in the
world of fashion, what possibilities she
may develop in this direction? These
queer bits of petrifed earth are in
digenous to Patrick, a southern border
county of Virginia, cut off from Henry
and called, like the latter, in honor of
the statesman and orator, Patrick
Henry. They are not excavated for,
but lie loose upon the surface of the
earth, and, though restricted to two or
three parts of the county, exist in great
numbers and various sizes.
Upon each stone a representation of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced, and legend concerning them
states that a band of fairies, dwelling
at Jerusalem during the life of our
Saviour, and witnessing the awful
scene on Calvary, were SO Mortified by
it that they fled to this remote region
and transformed themselves into these
petrifed emblems. This legend has
given rise to innumerable superstitions,
and from time immemorial the stones
have been worn as amulets by those
living in the vicinity in which they are
found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as the "boom" Then her SUI
perstitions and sacred traditions, along
with her other commodities, became OBJ
jects OF barter. Speculation fixed its
calculating eye upon the fairy stone
and 1t was taken from its native bed
and experimental with in order that it
might be rendered marketable.
SIT was soon discovered that no tedious
process was necessary for its develop
ment. A sharp instrument passing
along the outline stamped upon its sur
face converted the jagged stone into
symmetrical cross, and little polishing
and plunge into bath of boiling oil
gave the requisite smoothness and the
rich mahogany color one sees in the
stone of commerce. A tip Of gold at
the four extremities and ring to
which chain might be attached gave
the finishing touch to it, and when thus
simply mounted fairy stones sold for
dollar apiece.
The traditions concerning their Won
derful working power are as inexhaus-
tlble as the beds from which they are
taken, and would furnish endless
themes to writer's Of fairy tales and
folklore stories. They are supposed to
ward off evil and bring good luck to
their possessor, but in order to do this
must be worn around the neck and next
to the person.

PopuIists will Neither Nominate
Nor Officially Endorse.

A meeting of the Populist leaders of
the city was held last night at the store
of John @, White to consider the pro-
priety of putting municipal ticket in
The field.
There has been sentiment in the
party that ticket would assist in pre-
serving the party organization if in
nothing elee. An apparent majority,
though, favored rather the endorsement
of certain candidates on either the Re-
publican or Democratic tickets. There
was also movement to nominate Mr.
White for councilman from the third
ward. Nothing was officially decided

at the meeting, unless it was decided
that the Populiss as party would let
the Democrats and Repu blicans fight it
out. Those present expressed them
selves in favor OF certain candidates.
majority agreed, in fact, upon the
candidates to be supported, but they
do not expect the party to be bound by
any informal conclusions reached at
the meeting.

AN ENTERPRISNG BURGLAR


His Career Cut Short by Man With q
Couple of Rocks
When NJ. Larkin and family returned
from church at Sunday noon to their
South Pasadena residence, they were
much surprised to see somebody come
flying out Of back window and hurried
ly run up toward the hills. Larkin got
out of his buggy and pursued the escap-
ing man. He was joined in the chase by
a Mr.. Young. Between the two they
soon had the stranger at bay, but he was
an ugly customer who had an open knife
in his hand and detied them. Young had
picked up couple of big rocks on the
way and threatened to brain the man I'M
less he dropped the knife. He dropped it,
and was made u prisoner.
Mr.. I.arkin's people in the meantime
had investigated the premises, finding
that the fellow had effected his entrance
by cutting the screen of the pantry door.
Nothing was missing, the burglar evil
IDENTITY having had no time to ransack the
bureaus when the noise of the buggy
wheels warned him to be gone. Upon his
person the searchers found Sl5 in money
and two new razors which the man had
stolen elsewhere in South Pasadena.
His examination took place yesterday
before Justice Gleason, to whom he gave
William Hayes as his true name. he was
held TO answer for burglary, and in de-
fault of bail in $500, taken to the County
Joil

WONG CHEZ MUCH WORRIED
Several Links Added to tie Chain
of Evidence
Mr.. Koch Did not See the Defendant.
Police Officers Tell Their Story
Of the Shooting

The preliminary examination of Wong
Chez and his two alleged associates i'll the
murder of Lou Suey was resumed yester-
day morning at IL clock in Judge Nor
rison's court. The bartender. Koch, who
was talking with Policeman Blackburn in
Ferguson alley when the shot was fired,
resumed his position on the witness stand.
His testimony, so far a. it concerned
the identity of Wong All FAINT and Wong
Chuey, agreed with that given by Police-
man Blackburn; he did not remember
however, seeing Wong Chez on the scene
at the time of the shooting, although he
acknowledged seeing several Cinnamon
running away after the explosion OF the
gun-how many he could not say.
Eugene Maxwell of the Nadeau cigar
stand stated that he met Wong Chez on
Spring street between First and Second
within nfteen minutes after the shooting,
talked with him few minutes and saw
him buy cigar.
Policeman McKensie stated that while
conversing with Policeman Davis he heard
the shot fired and ran around into Fergu-
son alley. He saw Lou Suey lying on the
ground and then pursued one of the flee
ing Cinnamon, whom he chased up into
Wong Chee's room. His prisoner turned
out to be Wong All FAINT, whom he took
up to the City Jail on street car.
Policeman Davis stated that he was IN
the room when Lou Suey was lying on
bed and heard him repeat many times
that he had been shot by Wong All FAINT.
When little Chinaman, Wong Chuey,
was brought to the wounded mans bed
side for Identification, Lou SUey said
that he was one of the three Cinnamon
after him, but not the one who fired the
shot.
The court adjourned at O'Clock until
IL O'Clock this morning.

rived from Sioux City in company with
