BRIDAL. PRICE DEMANDED
Romany Clan Holds Own Court and
Awards $3 75 to Man's Family
Out of $1500 raid, but
v Money Is Not Paid.
"Morning waits at the end of the
world gypsy, come away!"
Endless days of trooping- through the
dust, chill, fire-glinted, nights and
misty mornings, with never a home
Bave the tent and the tattered van.
These were the gypsy heritage, and
such the life that stretched inter
minably before Amelia Mareno, 20
years old, and the bride of Nicholas
Eterio by casual gypsy ceremony.
And because the thought of her
husband's people and their ways dark
ened all hope of happiness for her,
Amelia Mareno supped on acetate of
lead -Saturday afternoon and came near
to trekking away by lanes that are
dim and nameless, but preferred by
her to the road.
When St. Vincent's Hospital said
that Amelia was "all right" again the
police took her to the women's quar
ters of the City Jail, introduced the
gypsy girl to the matron of the cells,
and charged her with disorderly con
duct by attempted suicide. -Girl
Appears In Court
Yesterday morning, before Municipal
Judge Stevenson, Amelia appeared for
Judgment, but with the abashed girl
stood her aunt, Mrs. Julia Adams, a
Serbian gypsy matron whose word is
heavy In. the councils of the clan, to
lift the gage of argument for her
niece.
When Amelia or 'Melia, as the Romany
folk construe the name, was 16 years
old her parents hearkened to the suit
of the Sterios, who proposed that a
marriage be arranged between the girl
and their son. There was talk of
money from the Aiarenos, ana me
Sterios compromised upon the payment
of $1500 to the bride's family.
By the law of the clans, Nicholas
and Amelia were wedded, with never a
'clerk, clergyman or notary to give
sanction. With her husband's family
the gypsy wife took to the road,
wherever the creaking wagons went.
Eut the Sterios were wild stock,
whereas the Marenos had prided them
selves on their home life, a decent re
spect for law and an acquaintance with
cleanliness. The girl tired.
Amelia Thrice llunavray.
Thrice she ran away, and her hus
band and his people claimed her again.
Then when the Romany folk flocked
to Portland last Fall the rebellion of
the girl became so stubborn that the
clans held court in a North End ten
ement. The girl would not accept the lot of
wifehood, .charged the Sterios, and they
sued for the return of their purchase
money, the $1500 of road-won gold.
The Romany council considered the
case. There was abundant evidence of
Amelia's distasteful reluctance to tend
the cooking fire of Nicholas, to tell
fortunes for his enrichment, or to
otherwise accept the duties of her fam
ily station.
"Three hundred and seventy-five dol
lars," decreed the gypsy court, "shall
be returned to the Sterios, and the wife
shall be free to live with her own peo
ple." Perhaps the Marenos lacked for
ready finances, perhaps they hoped to
win in a game of endurance at any
rate, they did not pay. Meanwhile the
police had been goaded to exaspera
tion by the conduct of the Sterios and
their ilk, and they were bidden to leave
tho city. Amelia went with her hus
band's people.
Thievery Causes Clan's Exile.
From Hood River, where the exiled
clan were driven out for thievery, the
girl escaped and returned to Portland,
stklng refuge with her aunt, Mrs.
Atoms. Her father-in-law followed.
She must go back to the road with
hlsn. So the tired girl made her choice,
and the hospital physicians were hus
tled to herd her back from the border.
When Judge Stevenson heard the
story he wrinkled his brow and pursed
his lips and rumpled his hair, con-fcnnlarin"-
the willful 'Melia.
"You may go." said the court, with
TMnVtnKis.
The aunt, Mrs. Adams, and her at
torney, Sam Olson, declare that the girl
shall not be forced back to the life
she doesn't want to lead, though the
strlr.s bluster about recourse to civil
lfinr to recover the price that did not
purchase fealty.

CIRCUS TOPS PANTAGES
PIANIST WITH CLEVER OFFERINGS
CAPTURES HONORS.
Debonair Frenchman With Two Feath
ered Wizards Provldea Novel
Entertainment.
If there's anything funnier than a
stage circus, it's another stage circus.
You can always count on the kiddies
having a perfectly wonderful time tak
ing it in, and since grown-ups are
only big children, after all, the enter
tainment and lure of the circus spreads
to them also. Understanding this trait
in human nature, Alexander Pantages
has as his feature act this week on
the new biU at Pantages, Thalero's big
circus act, full of trained monkeys,
doss and ponies. Thalero's animals are
unusually sagacious and each is an in
dividual exponent of wise and careful
training by a master, and an individual
expression of animal intelligence de
veloped to its highest form. There are
a dozen little fox terriers, two or three
tiny ponies and some sassy monkeys.
Comedy and good cheer pervade the
act.
Don C. Alfonio Zetaya Is an eminent
pianist, a master artist, . who plays
splendid arias with charm and musi-
cianly understanding, and then dashes
with his whole musical soul into the
ragtime classics, playing with a fine
abandon which sets even the orchestra
into applause. Monsieur Zetaya is most
generous, too, with his .numbers and
scores a big hit.
An interesting novelty Is presented
by Victor Niblo, a debonair Frenchman,
with his two vocal speed marvels,
"Coo-Coo and Laura," feathered wizards
who chat and laugh and whistle at
command. The birds are marvelously
responsive to their master's bidding
and talk distinctly whole sentences.
Bob Hall, a mighty clever entertain
er, wanders on, all by his lonesome,
and picks out folk In the audience to
sing about. He sings about the acts
on the bill, and then does a clever turn
by blending into verse and . melody a
half dozen selections called out from
the audience.
Georgia Tantls, a cutle, demure girl,
who wears smart frocks, pleases with a
well-chosen repertoire of songs.
. The Tuscano Brothers are a pair of
daring chaps who throw two-edged
axes carelessly at each other, juggling
them merrily and astounding by their
dexterity.
"The Fe-Mail Clerk" Is a big musical
melange, with a sextet of slender, pret
ty young girls and a prima donna,
Ethel Underwood, who can sing and
dance. Tommy Toner, a diminutive
comedian, and Maudie Kay as an ebon
porter afford comedy of a certain sort,
good, bad and indifferent by turns. The
act is set in a postofflce, and has
rapid-fire dancing and artistic change
of costumes. "The Secret Kingdom" Is
in Its 11th episode this week.
Two Illinois inventors patented a
bracket with which it is possible to
hang both shades and curtains at win
dows without using nails or screws.
