HE gypsy race shows no sign ot extinction. The Romanies are a s strong ami at. numerous today as they have ever been.'’

i) Thus spoke Mr.

i’aul Hester, playwright, ethnologist and student of the lives, habits and

language of the gipsies. Mr. Hester is one of the greatest living authorities upon the American Romany. There are many thousa.i’.iSP of them in the Hnitecl States, and they permeate ail branches of society. 1 kn ovs of an eminent and respectable Episcopal clergyman in Boston "ho lias Ronaay blood in his veins. Once a yon* the old wandering fever comes over this good man; and then, hey, presto! the pulpit is temporarily abandoned, and he follows the pnttrln-trail or lounges contentedly among his kindred in the shade of 'the caravan

tent.

“Since the death of Matilda Stanley IT, of Dayton. O.. a few years ago, the American gypsies have had no generally recognized queen. The Irish-Ameri-ran and German-A inrrieau gypsies have rulers of their own. There arc TtiO ffiniilies of German- American Romanies, and their queen is Sophia Freyer, a Romany Chi of nearly 80 years. For many years old John Gorman was king of the Irish-American Romany. He was succeeded by his wife. Queen Bridget. Who in turn gave place to her son, Bartley Gorman, the present king. King John Gorman and Queen Bridget came to New York from Ireland in the '40s. bringing with them their wagons. Since then they have roamed the country over and multiplied greatly. Their chief avocation is horse trading. Henry 'Palmer, a millionaire gypsy of San FranHseo. who claimed to have succeeded Matilda Stanley II as sovereign of all the Romafiies in America, died in 18»4. His giant form and great wealth made him a familiar personage in California. “All the gypsy families have two names—i. e., their Romany patronymic and its equivalent in the language of their adopted country. In the same way the gypsies have Romany names for most of the big cities in England and this country. They are quite apposite. too. as may be judged by the following short list, picked up around campfires and caravans: Kanlo-Gav,

ers, the fowl is cleaned and the feast

is ready.

“In so far as I know him (and I

SIGN may safely say that 1 know him well)

the American gypsy is one of nature's gentlemen—courteous, considerate and loyal. The average Gorgio, of course the Romany dislikes and distrusts; but win the gypsy’s affection, and you keep it always. The vagrant tendencies of the race can never be crushed out. They are in the blood, bred in the bone, of the true Romany. So long as the pure gypsy strain exists, dial and chi will follow the pattrln trail, tell fortunes, trade horses, woo the Gorgio's gold, and sleep with the broad arch of

heaven for their canopy.”

“The nomadic gypsy bands are not so large as fu less settled times, when the Romany was forced to travel in large numbers for self-protection. From 12 to 20 persons make up the average caravan today; although in si me cases the bands number 50 or GO. A very large band is the famous one of which old Ohivodine Ivovel is the chief. Every year level's band comes north and camps between Newark and Elizabeth, N. J.. in the woods by the boulevnrd. These Hovels are over GO In number. At one time they were suspected of having abducted Charley Ross; but the fair-haired boy found in their camp and supposed to be little Ross was proven a nephew of old Chivodine. and is now heir-apparent to the chieftaincy. Chief Stanley's big family yearly encamps on ('row hill, Kings county, N. Y.. while branches of the royal Stanley family of Ohio encamp near Dayton, Cincinnati and

Cleveland.

“The pattrln is the code of signs by which gypsies tell each other the road to be followed. Nowadays, however. the gypsies are getting so unromantic that they do a great deal of telegraphing. Oddly enough, the great gypsy exchanges in the various cities are livery stables and pawnbrokers’

shops.

“Their cooking and eating habits are often odd enough. For pork they have n great fondness, and in old times th^y were accustomed when passing a farm house to ‘drab the baulo* (poison the pig) and beg the carcass from the farmer. The poison known as ‘drab’ Is one of the Romany secrets. It is a curious drug which affects only the animat's brain, leaving the rest of the body unpoisoned. Many old Romany dials have admitted to me that they still occasionally yield to the temptation of ‘drabbling the baulo' and thereby obtain fresh pork. English gypsies etnac-k their lips over the memories of toasted atchiwitehi, or hedgehog. The gypsy way to cook a fowl is to do it up. feathers and all. in cldy. and bako i it in the heart of the Are, for a little i more than 30 minutes.

She bears on her arm, I am sorry to say, her purchases from the market; sometimes a couple of fowls are heard cackling in her basket; sometimes a heavy thump on the pavement breaks a bottle of vinegar, or of sour beetroot juice for the barszez at dinner. But she comes in, kneels down, and lifts up both hands in pra\cr, in the attitude of a priest saying the collects. Presently sighs are heard; tears trickle down her cheeks, she is so absorbed that she dees not hear the crowd passing to and fro, and jostling her; for she has knelt right in the middle of the passage up the nave. And now she bends down, touching the pavement with her forehead. in an ecstasy of devotion, and remains in that posture till the end of mass. Her action is not at all extraordinary: you may count hundreds in the very same attitude. Sometimes a peasant or a working man will stretch himself prostrate on the pavement. with his arms extended and his hands open, as if crucified. I have a painful remembrance of one such case. The church was crammed, and those who wanted to get to the communion table had to push and struggle, so dense was the press. One of them, not noticing the man lying on the ground, accidentally set his foot upon the penitent's fingers I saw the lifted heel from a distance, and, unable to prevent it coming down, cjuld hardly keep from calling out in church.

These simple, childish outbursts (which, intruth, are the reverse of extraordinary, if we remember ’hat all Catholics believe that Christ becomes really present on the altar at that solemn moment) are rarer in towns, but very frequent in : the country. I once was present at the opening sermon of a mission preached by four Jesuit fathers, at the rate of six sermons a day. for a couple of weeks, to a congregation of about j twelve thousand peasants, come from all the neighboring villages. The ser- | mons were, of course, delivered in the 1 open air, outside the church.

This is the story of Anita Hemming of Yas.-ar. '97. In all the news of the past few weeks there has been nothing more dramatic than the story of this woman and the sudden revelation of the secret she had kept so well. The puhlh- was told that one of the most beautiful, the most brilliant and the most charming graduate of this year's class at A'assar was a negro girl. The public was intensely interested, but to no one did the revelation come with such overwhelming surprise as to the classmates with whom Miss Hemming had been so closely associated for four I years, in no mind, until very recently, ] had there been the slightest suspicion

| of the truth.

The story of Miss Hemraing's college life and of the influences and chataci teristics that made her what she is "ill bo told here. There is interest in it, as well as n moral lesson. There is inspiration, too, in the splendid truinph of this young woman who came into life so heavily handicapped for the career she has achieved. These arc the tilings that she has done. How she has accomplished them and the manner in which she has surmounted all obstacles will lie told in detail later on. In 1SSS she was graduated from the Prince Grammar school, Boston, at the head of her class. In 1890 she completed, with the highest honors, the full course at the Girls' English school in Boston. Subsequently she attended Dwight H. Moody's school at Northfleld, Maas., ami there prepared for the entrance examination of Yassar.. astonishing her teachers and associa.^s by her brilliant work, in 1893 she entered A'assar, from which she has this year been graduated with

high honors.

During her four rears at college she was a prominent and brilliant figure in the life of the great iwwitution. She became a leader among the girls, a member of the most exclusive college societies, a guest in the host Poughkeepsie families and the idol of a large following of enthusiastic freshmen. She was lovingly called “the board if Ul brunette.” It was supposed that she had Spanish or possibly Indian blood jn iter veins. No one dreamed that in a little, modest Boston home there lived an honest mulatto who was her father and a preposoessing mulatto woman who was her mother. Both of these were light in color, and they had bequeathed to their child, with the mixed Mood of their race, regular features and a clear olive complexion which many a white woman would give much to possess. To these parents Anita was horn twenty-five years ago. Her father avas . clever and industrious man. He

who has probably had most influence in the young girl's life. This woman "as a philanthropist. She had broad sympathies and keen observation. She met Anita at Trinity Church, Boston, where the girl had been a communicant since childhood. The clear-headed and sympathetic woman of the world became deeply interested in the beautiful colored girl who was making such a steady, brave, up-hill fight against environment and tradition. She suggested college, and in the contemplation of this vista of delight Anita almost forgot her peculiar relations to the world of ideas, achievements and white skins. She entered Moody's preparatory school at Northfleld, and it is at this point that her career may lie said to have really begun. She was at this

time a girl nf twenty, with a beautiful , ru '" , ' , ’ ( l

face, a splendid intellect and a habit of introspection. Her parents mingled wholly with their colored friends, and | her home life had brought her into contact with the people of her own | race. The line between her and the life j she wished to lead seemed very sharply ; drawn. There was nothing about her, however, to suggest her negro blood. Her skin was a clear olive, her eyes soft and dark, her hair straight as an

professor, like Anita, kept the secret well. Anita's room-male was a beautiful and popular student, whose family held a high sorlal position. Not even this girl suspected the truth for years. When she did Anita's first great trou-

ble eame.

Miss Hemming's progress through A'assar was a triumphal one. She had a beautiful voice, hence site Joined the glee club. She was also taken into the ehoir. and became a leader in the musical set of the college. She joined the choral club. As the months passed she was made a member of other college associations. Among these were the Contemporary club, the '97 Federal Debating society, a Greek club and the Marshall club. But these were not all

her triumphs.

There arc dances and festal days at , Vassar. in which Harvard. A'ale and ! Princeton men are allowed to participate. In large numbers these young men bowed at Anita's shrine. It was a Princeton youth who gave her the sobriquet by which she became re-

'the beautiful brunette.”

It was her room-mate who finally caused the temporarv downfall of this striking figure from its tine college eminence. In some manner this girl had discovered that Anita was of negro parentage. She immediately changed her room and discontinued the acquaintanceship. It was the first blow in the colored girl's college course and it was a bitter one. Anita awaited further blows with an agonized fear.

This Implied no false statements. She had merely to let it he assumed that she was as the others were. Miss Hemming entered Vassar. No one asked her whether she was negro or New Englander. Indian or Spanish. She was young, brilliant and beautiful. 1 That was enough. Stic had passed an

RAM'S HORNS. The common saint is an uncommon «tranger to himself. He is well balanced that will take advice against inclination. Christ taught to teach; not to win admiration or applause. Aggressiveness without control, is the animal turned loose. The gospel and the long face do not travel well together. The man who loves his neighbor as himself, cannot be a hermit. A dollar has more power In America, than the Ten Commandments. The careless man wrecks his comfort: the covetous man his destiny. The eagle bathing her pinions in the clouds, is but one of God's thoughts materialized. If your schooling does not help you to better the world, your time and money are both lost. The man who thinks he knows all there is to know, Is already too dead to know that he is dying. Scatter sunshine as you pass along, and by and by you may gal her bouquets of immortal gladness. We may gain a reputation for piety by looking solemn, but we shall slander the Lord while doing 1L

ever. Finally the District police had to take matters in their own hands. From their first ihelsive step dates the pass-
