EASTER SUNDAY RAID.
One ef Them Sent to Reform School
Until tho Trial Takes Place.

when'the cases OF the.boys who broke
into William smith's candy and cigar
store'at the corner OF Weyosset street anu
Postoffice court on Easter Sunday morn
ing comes up for trial in the court of
common pleas, there is likely 10 be q
shortage In the supply OF witnesses, un.
less they are taken into custody at once
and sent cut to the reform school for
ssfe xeeping. The father of Charles III.
Crowley who was one of the lads, took
this method of keeping his boy at home,
and this morning delivered him to the
Sixth District Court. lie was sent to the
reform school until after the trial.
For some time the Older boys who had
a hand in the matter, have been urging
young Crowley to get some money and
run away. Not being bad boy at heart,
he told his father, and said he did not
think he could stand the temptation
much longer. and was perfectly willing
to go to the reform school where he could
not be reached by the boys.
A Watson boy, who according to the
Crowley boys story was the boldest, en-
gineered the Easter Sunday morning job.
He is said to be the first aud foremost in
getting the lads to run away. The Watson
boy has been in the employ or the Boston
Store since March ~, and lives with his
father on Clifford street. He told the
Crowley boy that he was going to run
away the week before the trial, but there
seems to be something in the wind at the
present time for his check, 6S7, has not
been on the hook since Monday noon,
May 4.
Young Watson has been to his meals
regularly since that time. and told his
father and the boarding house keeper that
he had been transferred to the wholesale
department of the Boston store, but such
is not the case, for William Z. Elliott,
time keeper at the Boston store, says that
young Watson had not been in the store
since Monday noon, and had also sent
word that he was sick.
The parents of the boys who have been
arrested are at a loss toknow why the
Watson boy has not also been arrested.
According TO the other boys ne was most
TO blame, and his actions show he does
not want TO appear In the court as wit.
ness as ne is afraid that the testimony
Will be of such character that he will
be arrested. He in 10 years old, while the
other boys are not more than IL and the
youngest Of the group is 8.

EVANSVILLE ROW.


The row that was aired in the district
court the other day between A. J.O'Toole
and the Burke family of Lymansville is
still the subject of talk in that section
and good deal OF feeling appears to
Father Carroll of st. Thomas Church has
been associated with IL in q manner that
reflects on the priest and that the facts
dc. not warrant. Friends Of Father Carroll
say that tempest In teapot has been
Inagnified with a view to iDjuring the
pastor in the esteem OF his people, and
that his connection with the case as set
forth in The NEws is prejudicial and
unwerranted.
1t appears that the row between O'Toole
and the Burkes was precipitated by the
attempt OF the former to drive Michael
Burke out of the liquor business. Father
Carroll was one OF the signers OF the re-
monstrance against renewal OF the
Burke license and so was the Lymansvilie
Company and other people OF repute in
the neighborhood. 1t was stated In The
NEWS that out of revenge on the
priest the Burkes together with
the McVeys, the Conroys and
others, proposed to withdraw their
support from fair now in progress
at st. Thomas and that quite sum OF
money intended for "chances" at the fair
was likely to be withheld, the inference
being that the Burke faction would boy
colt the fair. II was furthermore hinted
that the Burkes had left st. Thomas
Church and gone to ST. Iheresa's and
that a fund designed TO nelp daughter
of Burke get piano at the fair would be
a subject of lively controversy before 1t
was turned over.
As matter of fact the Burkes have no
daughter and there is no piano sup" at
the fair.s Furthermore 1t is stated that
the Burke faction has no such support as
that indicated in the published story and
that there is no indication that support
will be withdrawn from the fair or from
ST. Thomas Church. Indeed members of
the families involved have been in attend
ance at the fair. SO far as Father Car
rolls connection with the trouble is con-
cerned, he is a well known temperance
worker being a vice president of the
temperance union of the diocese and hav-
ing made many temperance campaigns in
this and other States. Men who know
him say ne is highly esteemed in his
parish and throughout the diocese and the
signing of the remonstrance so far as 1t
being an act in the interests OF O'Toole
and against those of mis- other parish
ioner, Burke, was perfectly consistent
thing for him to do and his latei efforts
have been directed to making peace be-
tween the factions and TO keeping both
parties from going so far that the neigh
borhood row should be dragged into court
or into church and parish life.

Natural Lightning Rods.

mas some value as a conductor of tighten
ing. This being the case, agriculturalists
are advised 10 plant these trees in the VIZ

tional suggestion Is the attaching Of

ing to pitch which will most greatly add
to the illusion. Nearly everybody in the
United States has seen the picture of a
small Cupid with the bow and arrow In
tho act of shooting at an unseen heart.
The picture was admired from ono end OF
the country TO the other. The original Of
1t is Miss Ida Mule as she appeared in one
of David Henderson's extravaganzas.
Like Julia Marlowe and many another
person who has since risen to fame in the
theatrical world, Ida Mule began her
stage career In the comic opera "Pina-
FORE" In which she essayed the role of Jo-
sephine. That was in Boston, where the
family lived. Her father, an excellent
musician, had intended that his daughter
should be concert singer, and so strong
ly did he disapprove of her effort In the
direction Of singing soubrette work that
he frankly informed her that he hoped and
expected that she would make failure at
her first appearance. The reverse, how
ever, proved to he the case, and from that
day TO this Ida Mules services have been
constantly In demand, and whatever rest
the little woman has taken has been as the
result of the advice Of a physician and not
because of any lack OF opportunity. AS
during all these years Miss Mule has been
IN receipt OF n very large salary, she Is
now we'll provided with tho goods OF this
world, and besides large bahk account
owns a fine estate In Mount Vernon, n.
Y, where her parents reside and keep
house for the little artistic when she Is
resting during the summer.
OF the IL Mule children, several have
taken TO the stage, and one OF the girls is
an artist whose paintings have attracted
favorable attention from some of the most
comr.' She Is
peing educated at the expense Of her gen.
erous sister Ida.
1t Is said that Ida Mule has played be-
fore more people than any soubrette now
prominently before the public. This Is ex-
planned by the fact that she has been con-
stantly at work and almost always with
companies which attracted large audiences
as "a rude. The statement is very probably
correct, and it is as greatly responsible for
tho remarkable popularity of the little
singer as is her unquestioned ability.
