A pumber of young men and women, conetitut- fng the Alumni Association of the Cook County Wormal School, beld their sixth annual celebration , yesterdsy at the ‘Norma] School buildings in Engle- ! Wood. Intbe morning they’ went through 8 pro- * gramms of interesiing excrcises, and in the after- - noon the class of 1875 vlanted a tree. when Georze S. Bowen made a brief and interesting epecch. and F. C. Brayton made the cluss address. ther exercises enlivened the day. .There wasa fair attendance of ladies and gentlemen. During the afiernoon the Alumni beld 2 riceting, at which the following: ¢ cere were elected: President, J. West; Vices President, Mis Ellsworth; Secretary, Miss Mary Perry; Treasurer, Misg Alice Eames. THE COGNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION met during the proceedings Incident to the tree- lanting, at 3 u'clock, There were present Meesrs, Kearney, Johnson, Gardner. lark, Harme, O'Connell, Lewie, and Plant, with President Kearney in the chair, A A communication from Principal Wentworth was read, calling the attention of the Board to the fact that it wae about time for the publication of the an- noal catalogue, and asking thal 2n appropriation be made for the purpose. 3 e o e munication from the Stadents* Club, asking that the new Students' all be continuedon the club plan, which had only cost thé members on an average S14 per month each for board and room the vear ronnd. The club system was organized in 1870, and has been in operation ever smce. The Ccommunication, after some discussion, was referred o the Committee on Duildings and Janitora. Mr. Wentworth's Jetter was referred to the Com- mittee on Printing. 2 Mr. Lewis offered the follosring: Resolced, Thet a committee of three be ap- pointed to examine the question of the propricty of the past cotrseof this Board in presenting bills to the County Board that it has audited and or- dered paid. Referred to the Committee on Ju- diciars. _The Board then adjourned fortwo wes fomeetin the rooms of the Board on Randolph street, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Ttwas the intention yesterday to elect a mew Principal to take the pince of the present incum- bant, Mr. Wentworth, who had started a report thut’ he was to bo removed to give place to a Catholic. This . statement ss _no foundation in fact, for the candidates talked of for the position are ex-County Superintendent of Schools A. G. Lane, Prof. Rod ney Welch, Prof Dodge of Winnetka, and As Supt. Doty.. The charge that they are Catholics would not hold good. Prof. Mahoney was talked about, but he no longer cuts a_figure in the con- test. The Board has stood Wentworth, £0 its members say, quite long enough, and it is intended to buunce him at once. LET THY LIGIIT SO SHINE. THE “ALLL\.‘{CE'} ON RELIGIOUS TRANSPAREN- CIEs. Testerday's Alliance has the following article in reference to a matter which haa already been the sobject of some unflattering comments: 5 *~The Alliance dirccted attention some time since to a few carnest, but wrongly directed and injori- ous, efforts which were being made in the name of Christianity, and we had fervently hoped a change had coine in this direction, but find that it was only temporary. The other evening, while near the cerner of Madison und Clark streets, we passed an individual bearing one of those cheap cotton trans- parencies which are o often displayed in the early ©evening. Supposing it.to be an invitation to some sublerranean resort, we were about to pagbn’ when a Scriptural quotation canght our eye. " Upon further scrutiny the device proved to be huge in- vitation to z praver-meeting to be_held in Lower Farwell Hall, together witha number of Goepel se- Jections pointed in a hideous manner. We will not attempt to describe our sensations upon this dis- covery. but doubt not they were the same which the majority of Christians would experience. “¢We believe the Christian Associations of this country are doing a good and & special waork, and we are by no means unmindful of the fact that this work necessitates peculiar machinery as well as workers. feel that these eelf-denying workers rhould receive all the sympathy and enicourage- ment which an enlightened Christian . community can hestow. But, h{ all that Is kacred and useful in religion, and by ail that is appropriate and right inlife, we protest against flm:gni; Christisuity down to the level of the concert-suloon, or seek- ing_converts by aucton-drumming. It is un- doubtedly. the mission of Christianity 1o seck the Jowly, the vile, and the wandering; but it is pre-eminently essential, not only for the sake of the czuse itxelf, but also for the object had in view, that this work should be done appropriutely and in accordance with the fpirit of which itisan exponent. Christianity should go tothe sinner, clad in only her beaufiful robes. and mot traillng them in the dust of the street, while the Master’s epecial warning was directed against those religion- ist who *stand on street corners.” “*\We heartily gommend our young friendsin their work, and flcdge them our assistance, and because we feelan interest in the work, we hope to see it done in a manner pleasing to God and at- tractive to men." HIRAM M. CHASE. MEETING OF THE BAR. According to previous notice a Bar meeting in memory of Hiram M. Chase, deceaned, was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Chicago Law Institota, The meeting was fully attended, and those present were deeply impressed by the death which had 50 unexpectedly called them to- gether. William P. Black was chosen Chairman, and Franklin Denicon Secretary. The Chairman, Judge Van Buren, E. W. Evans, Gen. R. W. Smith, and Rafus King addressed the ‘meeting and spoke feelingly of their friendship for the deceased, and gave iust tribute. by their re- marks, tohis high character s a lawyer and 2 man. Gen. R. W. Smith, M. F. Tuley, and W, H. Ring were appointed a Committee on Resolations and presented the following, which were unani- monsly adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased the ‘‘Judze of all the Earth™ to summon from among us our friend and brother, Hiram M. Chase, in the prime of his life, and the noon-time of his hopes and usefulness; therefore, v Resolred, That in the death of Brother Chase the Bar has lost one 0f ita' valued members, the com- munity 3 good citizen and worthy man, and his family o faithfnl busband and loving father. Resolred, That in bis fidelity to his clients, his intearity and devotion to his_profession, he has filled up the messure of a just lawyer.and an hon- est map, and left us an example well worthy of imitation. Resolred, 'That we mourn with his family in their adlictlon, and tender them our warmest eympathy in this their sad bereavement. Resolred, That a copy. of these resolntions be fornished his family, and that they he presented to each of the courts of this city with the request that they beepread upon their records. ‘The totlowing gentlemen respectively were desig- nated to present the resolutions adopted to the courts of record in this city: Circuit Courts, E. ‘W. Evane: Superior Court, Van Buren; United %\m(gs c;un. Robert Hervey; County Court, R. V. Smith. COUNTY BUILDING. John C. Klyn, Constable(of West Chicago, has filed 2 new bond of £3,000. Periolat and Kimberly will be called to plead in the Criminal Court Tnesday. A motion to quash the indictments against them will be made, but they will not escape in that way ehould the motion prevail, forthe jury iwill be in secssion, and in readiness to draft o new one in an hour. In the capture of 2 part of the prisoners who re- cently escaped from the Jail the Sheriff has in- curred coniderable expense. To provide against the money coming out of his pocket, it is understood that one of the deputies is circulating a subscription paper asking all deputies and ‘bailiffs to, contribute $10 each to raise a fund. Up to lost advices they were reepond Dbut not without protest. Sheriff Agnes festerdsy put 2 guestion to Judge Moore of no little imgortance under the circum- stances. involving, as Il does, the character of the mext Grand Jury. The venire for the next jury should have been in his hands several days ago under the law, and the question was ‘whether it conld now be leeally verved or not. The Court took the matterunder advisement. 1f it can- ‘ot be served Jezaliy, then a apecial venire must be issped. Let there be a epecial one by all means, if thereby ae pocd a jury as the present one can be obtained. The present jury will necessarily leave # great amount of crookedness uninvestigated, and good men will be needed for the work. - EVANS-CALLAGHAN. ME. TULEY. The Evans-Callaghan quo-warranto case was re- sumed in the Criminal Court, Judge Moore presid- ing, yesterdasy morning. The argument was opened by M. F. Tuley, Ezq. He held that there +was a conepiracy on the part of Evans, Philiips, Gleeron, and Ryan to carry the election by fraud, and that action annulied the clection, and there- fore the Cunvassing Board had a right to appoint persons to fill the offices thus rendered vacant. He began hie argument by saying that his colleague had gaid all that could be said in the matter, and he 1ould but reiterate his oints,. That the ofice should he filled wa3 _ the only interest the people had in the matter. -Evans had his remedy to recover the fees from Callagban. He cited the School Directors’ case at Hyde Park, and quoted Englieh authority to show that the in- cumbent could not be disturbed, because the peo- ple would not be benegted. There were two ques- tions presented. The first was whether the Court, in all reaconable discretion, would allow the jn- formation to be filed. Mr. Goudy had said there was & ecessity for a quo warrunto, An oflicerip- pointed as Callaghan had been was in de facto, and would be protected as guch. Mr. Evans' poeition was that he was the only legal officer. There was _nothing more il 2 conspiracy by Evins and _others to . obisin the office, aud they had shown it by aflidavits, He claimed therc was a fajlure Lo elect; that men went through the form and in an irregular Tanner de- clared the result ‘There was a conspiracy by Evans, Phillips, Gleexou, and Ryan to substitute their own will for that of the Yeople, He repeated the mapner in which the frauds bad been com- mitted. It was the stirring ap of the ballota at No. 204 LaSalle street that rendered the electiona nullity. He dwelt at eome length on Callaghan's appoiniment as Collector, and produced various authorities in support of his argument. When any town failed to elect its officers, the Canvassing Board had power to act. MELVILLE W. PULLER . followed in behalf of Evans, and in a lengthy argu- ment refated the statement that Evans was 8 party to any wngrlmcy. In some of the States, 28 Ver- mont, for instance, quo warranto was_resorted to by the relator o show his right to office, Asto the vacancy, and the power of the Ca sing Paard 10 appoint. the rentleman brought severs} anthoritics to bear sgainst it. The respondent must show that he was entitled to the office, or the eople were entitled to ouster. The office had Feen given to a man who was not a_candidate, and the epeaker claimed his appointment wae illegul. The opposing counsel furniehed no ground why the information should wmot be nled. The Board voted there was a fuilure to elect all foar of the candidates, and that there was such an uncer- tainty about it that there was no election atall, They were elective offices. and if no election was held, Mr. Fuller contended that the Town Board could not make an appointment. The trath was the whole em was not adapted to a city like this, He nsserted that Evaus had notling iwhat- evertodo with the difficulty between Thornton and Jioyne. It wonld not do to call him a comepirator_until it was proven. The fact that _ Mitchell had mot scen . the water-closet door did not chow that it was not that door. They went.to Tne TrisuNe and roused the people. Evans had no hand in putting over the count; he wanted a count at once. The connsel occapied eome time in demonstrating that Evans had acted in the office and accepted it. and stated that the nature of the duties was euch that some e n‘l" &ne office was necessary before the bond could e filed. After some argument regarding the discretion of the Court in the matter, Judge Moore announced that he would take the case under adviserzent, and. if other duties not did interfere, he would try and render a decision Monday or Tueeday.

They did not vanish suddenly, and, while the boy was afterwards engaged in the rear of the store, the partlesquietly opeded the mouney-drawer and took about $10 in currency, with some papers of value to o one but the proprictors, No arrests have been made, but the boy imagines he sow one of the men yesterday. CRIMINAL COURT. Trwenty-eight persons, indicted Friday by the Grand Jury, were arraigned for plea yesterdny forenoon. ° Of the number, four only pleaded guilty. The crime alleged fu nearly all the cases is Iazceny. ~ The State's Attorney announced that no criminal trials would take piace this weel, for the reason that Mr. Birch, his_assistant, wouid be ab- sent on a wedding tour, and his time aad services would be n:c!uircfi by the Grand Jury.

HYDE PARK. The Village Fathers met in caucns last Wednes- dny, ostensibly to discuss the financial situation and arrange some practicable plan for supplying sufficient money to carry on the necessary work of the village for the coming year. Practically, the conference, 50 far as finances were concernecd, {xmonnuxl to nothing, though it ia probable that an increased fssue of certificates of indebtedness, on the Colvin-Tlayes plan, will be the result. The next important work of the meeting was the armangemeat of o slate for the oflicers yet unelected, 2§ follows: Superintendent of Public Works, Mr. McLenna tlorney, J. J. Herrick; Accountant, G. G. Custer. It is expecied thata certain num- ber of ballots will be cust to keep up the show of an clection, but the matter ix already practically decided, and it might as well be ueuled on the first as the tenth hallot. The eclection of Messrs. McLennan . and Herrick dre a8 good ay could be made, though there are still many persons who believe that the Board would have more fully redeemed their pledges for an eco- {lgrn,lc:g n’dnyull‘.'igml‘i{m if |hedomccs of Superin- ndent of Public Worke and Superintendent of ‘Water-Works had been conunlldulcs s anA The Kenwood barge made its first pleasure crnise Friday, when quite a large party enjoyed a delight- ful row on the lake in the early evening.

A Lame Explanation of the Mysterious Letter ““K.” In yesterday’s TRibuNE was given the state- ment of James Forsyth concerning the county contract frauds and the connection of certain ex-Commissioners and Periolat, and Kimberly, and McClevy, with them. Forsyth having thus “1aid down ™ on the parties numned, it was in oxder for Periolat to be heard on the same ‘sub- jeet, and with this object in view a TRIBUNE skicmisher went in quest of the mnotorious coursty contractor, Clemens F. Periolat. He could not have been more fortunate if the Divinty had shaped it, and laid out the pro- gramnse. Just as'the reporter got off the car at Carpenter street, he ran against Periolat, who was dacking around the corner in Madison street in v leisurely way. “ Ah, Mr. Periolat, I believe?? said the re- orter. “ Yes, sir.?’ “1 was jiist going to your residence to see you about ther Forsyth statement.” < “Well, I on’t desire to say anything much about that just) now."” “ Isn't there :jome place where we can go and get a glass of be «r, and sit down.” “ Now, look hore, I am just as sharp as you e 4 Oh, well; I do wot wish you to-say anything that will injure you. Forsyth Tos” made his statement, and you have been indicted already. 1 thought, perliips, ywu would like to say some- thing i refutation of it at least.” Periolat here produced a couple of pages of legal cap, and said: % Now, Forsyth said that he knew nothinj about the outside contr:xts. Look at this an see if it doesn’t show that. he did. Tlere is his written agreement, with his signatureattached.” “Well, that’s all right. Let us go somewhere and talk the matter.over.’” - " i}\"fl the two wont dosrn to Kappest and alked. Acopy of Saturday’s TRIBUNE was drawn from Perfolat’s pucket,and ¢aking Forsyth’s tes- timony before the Grand Jury and that portion given to a reporter, the alleged Bean Doss pro- ceeded to deny it seriatim, 2he reporter ques- tioning him as he went along:: “\hat about the report concerning TUE TEA you furnished the coumy institutions? ¢ At the time that I purchased tea, a year ago to-day, it was 25 cents higier- than at ‘present. 1 have gisen tea fully up tothe contract. When I took the contract, tea was 27 to 40 cents per pound higher than now. Doune himself knows that. T do not expect to furmish tea at the same prie now.” “ITow abont the connection of HARRIS, JONES, CRAWIORD, JOUNSON, (RUSSELL, AND ABOTON in the alleged steals ? *Jones bas l\ui\l every dollar in checks and mone for all he received.”, “ J{ow ahout the others 27 “None of the Commissioners named hawe re- ceived grocerics without paying for them. Not one of them ever took $00 or $500 wortk of goods from Forsyth's store: there mever was over $%) or §60 worth furnished them at a time, and they paid for them.” 2 ; L I"m;fyr.h said he &id not know what was go- ng on. £ He knew all about the transactions with Cook County.” “1Vhat did Carpenter do?” “ He was encouraged by Forayth to keepbad the goods from the county’s supplics. Forsyth never asked me any questions, nor I never told him to mind his business.” ¢ Explain this ¢ K." account.” “The reason { kept that ‘K’ book was, L dis overed that FORSYTH WAS SWINDLING ME; that he used the money of the concern for traveling expenses while on pleasure trips. He allowed his son to draw from $8,000 to $10,000 a. year, and he was a worthless fellow. His son- In-law was employed at $1,500 per year by me, and, come to find ~ out, he was drawing $3,000 & year. ¢ Anything else?” 3*Forsyth also paid attorney’s fees out of the firm’s nxclxuqer to scttle private scrapes. He never was in New York but once or twice during the year that he claims the alleged steals were made.” Forsyth remained only a week in New York at that time, and_that was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and he paid the expenscs out of the firm. That is the reason why I kept the ‘K’ account; and I was to give Kimberly one-third'of the Srom.s. ‘That was a blind, and was_done in or- er to get even with Forsyth. None of the money was ever paid to Kimberly. Itold For- s{!h six months before I went out of the firm that X was going to leave the concern, and he wanted me to remain.” a At dthis stago of the conversation Periolat pro- uce THE AGREEMENT between himself and Forsyth, and the following copy was taken from it: WuEREss,” The copartnership agreement hereto- fore existing between James Forsyth, Clemens F. Periolat, and James L. Foreyth, was formally dis- eolved by publication on or about the 1st (rny of May, 1874, the said James For:{th then purchas- ing 'tho intorest of the said James T For syih, and 8 new copartnership was formed and made between James Forsyth and Clemens F. Periolat, both' eaid dissolution and #aid copartnership dating a8 from Jan. 1, 1874, and the eald new copartnership to contfnue for one year, ¥iz.: until the lst dn% of January, 1875, And it ix hereby agreed by and between the said James Forsyth and Clemens F. Periolat, that he, the eaid Periolat, shall receive one-third of the- net profits of the business, sfter all expenses and bad debts shall have buen deducted from the gross profits. ‘And the said Periolat shall not be required to poy interest to the said James Forsyth on his excess of capital, nor ehall the eaid Periolat be charged in final settlement with any moneys paid to or drawn by the said James II. Forsyth during the said year of 1874, but shall “be entitled, to ‘and receive one-third of the met rofits of the said business, without taking into account_any moneys paid to or drawn by the said Jumes H. Forsyth, 1t is further agreed that the wnid James Forsyth ehall receive two-thirds of the net profits of the said businers after all expenses and bad debts shall have been deducted from the roes profite. It is further agrecd that the said “lemens F. Periolat shali pay over to the said Jemea Forsyth two-thirds of all moneys or profits made or_received on contracts for clothing, dry goodw, hats and caps, and bedding. And it is further agreed that neither of the said parties shall sign the firm’s name, James Forsyth & Co., to any notes, bonds, mortgages, or any euch documents, without firat obtaining the full permission of the other member of the firm. Janes Forsrrn. CrexEeNs F. PERIOLAT. Periolat agnin resume The agrcement was witnessed by Jerome G. Beardsley and written by him. He was book- keeper at the time, and ig'a partner now. “\Vhat do you think of TRE INDICTMENTI" “] feel kind of blue on zccount of them re- turning an indictment against me, when the same cvidence on which it was made was more damaging to Forsyth than myself. The agree- ment will show that he received two-thirds of all the Ymfi'.s and the steals, as he calls them.” ~Tell me sbout those Commissioners’ ac- counts.” “Those accounts that were charged to the Commissioners on the “K.” account, I collected from time to time, and gave receipts for them, :;‘nd kept the money in order to keep even with orsyth.” b “What do you know about the men on the Grand Jury?"” ““Forsyth owes certain gentlemen on the Grand Jury large amounts of nonev—thousands of dollars—for merchandise, and that is the rea- son they will probably let him off, for they will R0t get thelr money it he is convicted. . He bas got an order from court protecting him from in- dictment, and now he is endeavoring to do all hie can to injure me.” The conversation ended after some further ef- fort on the part of the reporter to bring out the allered scandals charged against Foreyth, but Perjolat said be would_give the whole story at the proper time, and had letters to back it up, as well as witnesses. Hedid not, hesaid, propose to squeal on anybody, but he would “‘lay down '’ ou Forsyth inasmuch as _that person lvmd lied aboat him, and he would make it hot for him when he got an opportunity. He desired to have a jury of the best men in the city totry him when arraigned for that purpose, and If he bad to go to prison he would not do any squeal- ing. He would not state the names of the Grand Jurors to whom Forsyth was indebted, but gaid he would do 50 if be'had a fair chance. He has employed the best counsel in the city to defend him, and notwithstanding the fact that be had sold ont his store to McClevy, and had intended accepting a liberal offer from an East~ ern house to travel, he would remain and sec the end of the present difficnlty. He was quite %ame. having been recently thrown out of a uzzy. The sbove interview signally ustrates the impudence—often shown before—of this man Perlolat, and apparently indicates that it is his insention to go to trial.” He is not aware, howev- er, of the overwhelming evidence sgainst him, . or of the fact that some of the persons in whom “shot through the head and he has confidence have testified to his rascalities. With the exception of the statetnent that For- syth knew what was golng on, and shared inthe profits of his frauds, there are not 2 hundred 1rue words in his whole story. e A PAGAN FUNERAL. Description of the Ceremonles to Be Had Over the Body of the Late Baron de Palm in New York City To-Day. Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. New Yomk, May 27.—A first-class Pagan funeral will take place in this city to-morrow, when the remains of the late Baron de Palm will be interred according to the ancient Egyp- tian.rites under the auspicices of the Theosoph- ical $'ociety of this city. The arrangements for” thefrneral have not yet been completed: Itisthe wish.of the members of the Tlieosophfeal Socie- ty to makea grand pageant and an imposing ceremnony, and to that end the Freemasons bave bi-en askped to assist in the service. It is also praposed to invite the New York Oratorio Society to furnish the vocal music. Mme. Blavatsky, who is a leading Tight in the Theo- sophical Society, is determined to make genuine Pagan finneral. Shehas made: up a programme, omitting wvothing, and is bound to have it carried o t. Mme. Blavatsky lived in Egypt several yea vs, and of courseis entirely familiar with all tihe funeral rites as practiced by the ancients un ler the Rameses, the Pharaohs, and the Ptolema 's. She also spent seven years in India, and is fully quaiified to do up a funcral according to 3'he religious rities of the Oricnt. The body ha's already been embalmed accord- ing to mod’ern usage, although Mme. Blavatsky saps the job is a very poor oue. Her prog amme is to take the body asshe finds it at the Roosevelt Hospital, place it on an Egyptian bier to be borne by the lourners, and form a processiok , marching down: Fifth avenue to the beating of the tarabuka and the tabret, and the linl%ling of the sistna, while some of the members of tiaz Theosophical Socicty go in advance, playing tiae pipeand the harp, the chief mourners bricging up the rear, occasionally rending their hair and casting Qust on their heads. . The bier £ to be covered with palm leaves, and persons will accompany the procession with armfuls of brmches, throw- ing them in the way as the procession wlvances. Arriving at the temple, the bier will be placed in the front of the Grand Lodge reom, and the members will then assemble atound the body to hold the trial and ascertain whether the subject is fit to enter the realms of the blest. This trial will be an interesting cerenrnony. The body of the dead is e _raised into a sitéing posture, and thea all the friends and relatives will sit around and dis- cuss his virtues and' his sins,if be has committed any. Each member will hold in his hands two flowers, one red and the other white. When all the arguments are iry, each will hold up one of the flowers he has in his bands, and the number -of the white ones and of the red ones will be ascertained by the teflers. If the whifes have it, the soul will be sent in, and the god who sits at _the portal of hcaven will open the door. Ifthe reds have it, the soul is forever damned and cannot be presonted to the god. During the rest of the ceremony (provided the decision is in favor of sieving the soul), the: body will be Iaid out on the bier, znd over the head a st:rf)unt will be coiled with his tail in bis mouth, —that being the emblenr of eternity according to the ancient Egyptians- Over-the breast the figure of Tau, or the emlem of life, will be placed, and at the feet_sewen lights of different colors, forming a double triangle, with a white light in the centre. Theselights will be extin- E-uisln:d and relit three tinws, and an effort will ¢ made to cause it to apprar as if it were done by magic, as it used to be performed by the in- genious Egyptian priests. .
