glorious petticoats, of various hues and
lengths. "
Thai waa the female of the
down at the municipal court Wednes
day afternoon when the gypsies heard
an hour and 45 minute's worth! of the
white man's opinion of their fortune
telling. There were nine women and
a baby about a foot and a half long,
which lay wrapped in its swaddling
clothes as passively as a stage ehiltf.
except foe an occasional wiggle of Its
a mall feet around Which a faded blan
ket was tied.
Xasembled a' Mummy, j
One "Mother of Israel," who seemed
to have Hved since the world bf an, sat
as Unmoved as the clnnamon-icolored
mummy that aha resemoieo; out ior
the moat part there waa animation in
' every face, eyea a sparkle with the
Cftement of being haled into court,
tosslnv of heads encased in purple and
green and red 'kerchiefs, in their ears
the tinkling of rings that m1g.it have
: teen Uken from the window curtain
from the looks of them, end ariind
their nocks chain from which-were
vuspended gobs of gold pieces as lav
ishly as if they had been tobacco tags.
. Many of them were radiantly beautiful,

The men who were there only to lend
their moral support to the women, had
mustaches like black shoestrings and
looked like the men who sailed the
Spanish Main, hut by no means had
ajy of them ever fallen in.
Thev were charged with telling for
tunes and receiving xnoMy therefor in J
violation of the statutes, although they
singly ami inoimuiui tiu umi
told fortunes; declared that thy r
ertvcd no-maney for telling fortunes.

grieved that the complaining witnesses,
Pol'ee Sergeant B. F. Sherwood, and
Patrolmen- Spaugh and J. H. Schum
should have suffered them the Indig

Bead Their Sumps.
, The midnight beauties stated that !
they had read the minds of the of- j
fleers, "read their bumps" in fact, but
a, puzzled, unhappy look crept into
their faces when the judge asked them
If they understood phrenology. They
did not. It was the "bumps" they un-
derstood. When asked for the location
"of those indicating love of children, 1
'fighting tendency, probability of living i
to be 92 years old, they answered It by ,
giving their own skulls an all inclusive '
sweep from the back of their necks to ,
.their dusky brows. !

" It was shown positively that 10 cents i
fcad actually been paid over by one wit- .
aess and there was much talk of 50 1
s cents on another occasion, but opinion
" waa divided, as to what became of it.
The witness thought it had been taken
into another room. The gypsy says
.-' that she gave it to her child, that she
gave it back to the witness, that she
threw it on the floor, that she received
jno money. Take your choice. The

Would they come? Would they arrive safely? Would they
be here in time? To the first two questions YES. To thei
last NO. 9 We were filled with anxiety, knowing the scarcity
and the extraordinary high prices of linens, and were particularly
anxious to receive this shipment for our January linen-sale. It
was an allotment promised us month's ago. The disappointment
in not having received them in time vanished when we viewed
these linens in our receiving room yesterday. Tomorrow wc
offer these Irish linens.
