THEI'BE "WAKDEREES BUT XOT IDLEES
PTKITTIS' TOB TUB DISPATCH.!
Lokdoit, Oct. 3t To me there is some
thing inexpressibly pathetic in the unvary
ing good humor and kind-heartedness of
English gipsies when their hard and bitter,
though self-chosen mode of life is consid
ered. And this is nowhere on earth made
so plain and emphatic as when you find
them in and about London, all the bright
ness of the summer roads and lanes but a
memory, and the cruel deprivations of win
ter generally a winter's battle for exist
ence with 1,000,000 other lowly staring
them squarely in their stoical face.
Crafty, weary, hard, unworthy vagabond
though you deem him, as he confronts yon
and mankind in this battle for life and
those he loves, he truly has another side, a
cheery, good and manly one, too, that with
out one iota of the prompting to which all
modern society stands indebted, oiten glows
with kindness, generosity, helpfulness,
good cheer and a SDirit of positive loveli
ness. An ugly word is never heard in a gipsy
camp or band. A selfish act is never seen.
The eternal goading of a mean woman, the
brutal obscenity of a bad man, the hateful
jealousies of neighbors, the contemptible
rivalries of .pretended friends, each and all
are as unknown as poison in the pure air of
heaven they breathe in tent or upon the
road.
There are undoubtedly hundreds of locali
ties which may be termed "gipsy ground"
in London and its iar-reching suburbs. I
have visited nearly three score of these
places within the past few years. In some
instances they are in the most densely and
forlornly populated sections of the nie
tropolisT Acquaintance and confidence soon
brought me to many of these almost un
known gipsy and coster communities in the
very heart of London.
A Great Resort of the Class.
Two of them are very interesting and his
toric. If you were wandering about Lon
don up Holborn way and should come to
ancient Furnival's Inn, you might note that
its decrepit back hangs over the entrance to
narrow lane. This is Leather Lane.
Scarcely wide enough beneath the back
windows of Furnival's Inn to permit the
entrance of a donkey and cart, it gradually
widens towards Theobold's Bow, and to the
east and west is itself entered by almost
numberless closes and courts. No casual
frequenter of Holborn would notice it, but
the locality is one of the densest in London
in point of population. Among the thou
sands of lowly humans living here, are
fully 500 oostermongers, and in the winter
time half as many gipsies. The great re
tort of all these folk is the "Leather Bot
tle," a public house within the shadowy
precinct.
There are many odd places and studies
here. The former class rather pride them
selves on their utter recklessness in the
matter of gambling, carousing and drinking.
While they live in entire harmony with
their Romany friends and possess a certain
respect for their winter companions which
permits of no trifling, it was easy to see that
irom the coster standpoint ot ethics the
tawny folk are not considered fairly pro
gressive. They are too quiet. They attend
closely to work and minimize the ill effects
of poverty in London.
Most of the gipsies in this locality live
from a half dozen to a score in a room.
They possess the scantiest array of house
hold utensils. Their native ability to make
tbe most of little enables them to patch up
a few seats and they sleep comfortably and
cheerily packed together like herrings.
Some of their abodes are wretched beyond
description to one who is unable to compre
hend tbeir own gladness at getting on at all.
Xhey work hard and long, being first at the
great markets and last to leave the streets.
Handbarrows are used by most of these.
The mother, father and the grown sons and
daughters all share in the severe work of
pushing the barrow or cart Many will
tover -0 and 30 miles a day in tbeir rounds.
All Do Something to Live.
The little ones left at home work on bas
kets, color leaves and wild grasses of which
they have brought in a supply of material
from their summer wanderings, and which
are sold to the lowly for mantel ornaments,
or whittle out skewers for meat stalls. All
do something and earn something. If there
is a loss in one day's trade, they work the
harder the next. All thus keep from star
vation, which is more than many who are
not heathens can do in London; and some
iven get tbrouch the hard, wet? foggy,
ileety, bone-wringing winter with their
lives and a few shillings to the good.
It was in one of these innermost recesses
that some of my gipsy friends had their
habitation, and it is certain that a no more
curious dwelling place and disposition of
home belongings were ever seen. About
half way from Furnival's inn to Theobold's
Bow, a narrow, dingy court, above which a
strip of sky could barely be seen, wriggled
100 feet or "more to the east To tbe right
and left the ramshackle yet stout old house
fronts seemed pitching at each other'threat
eningly. From the noisome pavement to
the strip of sky it seemed as though hun
dreds of humans were constantly in a state
of existence on trembling balconies and
tottering window-sills. The density of half
fed life behind these raven like beings
clinging to the outer walls must have been
terrible.
The dark conrt narrowed at the end com
ing to a sudden stop against a black dead
wall, which rose 30 or 40 feet above tbe
pavement as if to shut out tbe desperate
poverty ot Leather Lane from some better
inclosure. Here at the end of this court
against the dead wall my gipsy friends had
practically encamped by a system of more
than partial suspension. Some 25 feet from
the gronnd a mass of patched bits of sail
cloth and blankets formed the only roof.
Ingeniously braced bjts of wood flotsam
and jetsam from the markets and the
Thames made three intervening stories, or
floors, between the flapping roof and the
pavement of tbe court, all of which were
open to the weather and Leather Lane way,
save where rags and other sieve-like
blankets and sail cloth answered the place
of curtaining.
Eoir the Donkey Is Doused.
These stories or floors were about six feet
square, except the lower or pavement story
which was as long as the prowess of the
gipsies could make it against the hordes of
the stifling court An aperture had been
made in th dead wall, which, with a few
bnok and a little mud mortar, provided a
capital chimney piece. The draught was
perfect There was a good deal of comfort,
too, about this extraordinary fireside. The
cart was "whortled," that is, turned bot
tomside upwards for a table. A shelf-like
piece of timber bad been fastened against
one side wall for a lounging bunk and
bench. A ladder ran from this along the
wall to the second story, where cooking
utensils and food were kept.
But the most curious of all was the
sightly disposition of 'onkey, what was
left over lrn'n tned.nv' hawking and t'lr
uipsy lamiiy itself, immediately on ar
rival, the donkey was hauled up" by rope
and tackle into a little cage which consti
tuted tbe third story under the sail cloth
roof. Such vegetables as were left that the
family did not use were stored on a shelf
alongside the donkey; and on retiring for
the night the family, comprising 11 grown
people and children, ascended into the. sec-end-story
loft, and, in a manner, fished all
movable belongings up after them.
"Yes," admiringly said old man Lovell,
(he head of this gipsy home, after I had
just witnessed the sprawling donkey hoisted
into his cage lor his rest and provender,
"Hus jess hall goes hup inter hour 'ole by
night, an' pulls the 'ole huparter hus!"
A Favorite TVinter Haunt.
The east end district locally called "The
Mint," where London's ancient mint was
located, is another favorite haunt of gipsies
in winter. From Lant street in the
borough to Blackfriar's road are more than
100 almost impenetrable lanes and closes.
This region was the former haunt and home
of Jack Shephard and Jonathan "Wild, and
from the same locality have sprung many
of the noted prize fighters of our time.
Billingsgate porters, the most jaunty and
rollicking of all London costermongers, and
a class of gipsies who are noted for their
fistic piowess, are the sole inhabitants. Into
this savory region one must come well in
troduced; but when once known as a true
friend of any inhabitant, progress through
the quarter is attended oftenwith even em
barrassing greetings and familiarities.
I found the gipsies of this locality, who
nnmber perhaps 50 families, which means
fully 500 souls, chiefly those who ply their
various vocations at country fairs and all
huge gatherings, such as the Derby, and
London holiday "outings" at Epping
Forest and the like. They are a portion of
that vast horde of least winsome but most
picturesque English gipsies who, casually
seen, nearest represent the fakirs of our
American country fairs, our circus fol
lowers and the brawling nickel winners of
such summer and seaside resorts as Coney
Island and Kantasket The "Punch and
Judy" shows are getting into their hands.
They are beginning to exhibit freaks and
control the merry-go-rounds. All the fruit
and nut stands at fairs are now in their
hands; and the cocoanut (here called "coker
nut") ranges, where a nut can occasionally
be knocked from a deceptively built tier at
a penny "a shy," one of the most popular
form of initiatory gambling sports at all
fairs and outing gatherings in England, are
all owned by these, cunning gipsies. Their
fists are as ready as their tongues, and their
women folk are the most brazenly insistive
and picturesquely attired fortune tellers' in
all the world.
Genuine Gipsies In tbe Suburbs.
But the genuine drom rajahs or gipsies of
the road wbosc vocations of to-day are
really honorable, thriitful and distinguished
bv downright hard work and fair dealing,
though still full of genuine gipsy traits
and bearing in a mild form the gipsy taint
of dickering and dnkkering (fortune tell
ing), are the gipsies who, in tbeir enforced
winter London tarrying, retain most the
manner of the summer road life. I should
think there could be found from 10,000 to
20,000 of these in the suburbs of London,
from November until March. These are
entirely exclusive of several thousand
more who never leave London, but travel
in endless circles about the outer edges of
the great city, interminable Bedouins at
all outing gatherings; peas and strawberry
pickers and lavender gatherers in the sum
mer, hop pickers in the autumn, and scaven
gers in general the remainder of the year.
They camp where they work, and though
often reduced to abject wretchedness, are a
kindly and cheerv set of men and women.
The road gipsies generally retain and
occupy their vans, carts and tents. Out
Southwark way, over in Surrey, are large
communities. Many may be found round
about Esher and Woking. The Chelsea
marshes are another winter haunt; while
Epping Forest, depths and edges, are full
of them. With these summer thrift is
never exchanged for winter idleness. Many
of the stout gipsy lads get employment in
gentlemen's and public stables. The men
haunt the horse markets and weekly
suburban markets and buy, sell and trade
horses and donkeys. Many of the women
rove about the poorer districts of the city
telling fortunes for whatever they can get
Those too old for these jaunts mind the
pots, kettles and little ones against the
wanderers nightly return. Old men and
lads and lasses remaining at home are never
idle. Kude mats, market baskets, stable
and street brushes, by the hundreds of
thousands, are their annual handiwork, and
the millions of skewers in use at the London
meat stalls are every one whittled out by
busy Gipsy hands.

Took Enough to Stock a Farm.
Bobert Walters, of Sharpsbnrg, had J.
W. Anderson, of Bichland township, ar
rested yesterday for larceny. According to
Walters, Anderson is no ordinary thief, as
he took two horses, six hogs, two cows and
a watch, as well as converting ?51 73 ot
Walters' money to his own use. Anderson
gave bail for a hearing on Monday before
Alderman McNiernev.

TWO WOMEN'S LOVE.
vAfter a Happy Life Together, Death
fiesnlts in a Will Contest.
WINDING UP THE SUPREME COURT.
Illegal Liquor Eellinjr Caies Tried in the
Criminal Conrt.
D1T0ECES GRANTED FOR DESERTION
A hearing was commenced before Judge
Hawkins in the Orphans' Court yesterday
in the contest of the will of the late Miss
Harriet L. "Vance, of Pittsburg. The case
reveals an unusual instance of'friendship
between women. Miss Vance died June 16,
1892, aged about 44 years. Two days before
her death she signed her will which be
queathed all her estate to Miss Betta J.
Woods. The will was as follows:
Pittsbuko, Pj, June 11, 1892.
I give all I possess of this world's goods
and all my money to Miss Betta J. Woods.
1L L. Yahoe.
Witnesses E. J. Laddet,
Jkuhie McCuue.
Miss Yance and Miss Woods were friends
when both attended the same seminary.
When they graduated, neither having any
home, they decided to live together, and
have done so ever since excepting about
nine months. Miss Woods supported her
self as a bookkeeper, and Miss Vance re
ceived an income from an estate in Ken
tucky she owned. For the last four or five
years Miss Vance had been saving nearly
all her income t6 purchase a home for the
two. She often declared, it was testified
to, that if she died she wanted Miss Woods
to have all her property.
When her will was offered for probate it
was contested by her brother and several
nephews. They alleged testamentary in
capacity and that undue influence and fraud
were used. At the hearing vesterday the
subscribing witnesses testified that the will
was written by Jennie McCune, one of
them. It was then taken into tbe room
where Miss Vance lay and Miss Woods read
it to Miss Vance. She then got a pen and
held it while Miss Vance signed the will.
Miss Vance did not say anything at the
time. She was very weak physically, but
mentally they thought she was all right
Dr. Jones testified that Miss Vance's
mind was all right until a day or two before
her death,-wheu she had difficulty in ex-
Sressing herself. Drs, Warner and G. W.
iankin testified that they believed her of
sound mind and able to make a will. Other
witnesses testified as to the friendly rela
tions between Miss Vance and Miss Woods,
and the oft repeated wish of Miss Vance
that Miss Woods should get her property if
she died first.
The case was continued until to-day.
WILL RISE TO-DAY.
The Supremo Conrt Hearing the End of
Its Session In Pittsburg Slarkle Paper
Company Suits Argued Lost Her Hus
band at a Railroad Crossing.
The Supreme Court will rise to-day, after
being in session six weeks. There were
nine cases disposed of yesterday. The case
of J. W. Johnston and others against the
Markle Paper Company and the appeal of
Margaret Ann McMasters bearing on the
same case, all arising out of the failure of
the Westmoreland county concern, were
argued. The action was brought by
creditors of the Markle Paper Company to
force the payment of unpaid subscriptions
for stock.
There was an argument on the appeal of
the Philadelphia Company from the decree
of the Court of Common Pleas No. 1 in
the case Sarah C King and others against
the company. It was an action to recover
damages for the construction of a main
through the property of Alexander King in
the Fast End.
The case of John Wallace, appellant,
against B. S. Smith and others, an action
on a mortgage, was argued.
The appeal of the Equitable Gas Company
from the judgment of Common Pleas Court
No. 1 was argued. It is a case in which
Sarah E. Wilson secured 53, 000 damages for
the construction of a main from the Mur-
raysville district through her property on
Spencer avenue.
There was an argument in the else of
Julia McGill against the Pittsburg and
Western Bailway. Edward McGill, the
plaintiff s husband, was a teamster and was
filled at the grade crossing
at the bridge
from East Ohio street to
Herr's Island in
Allegheny, on July 24, 1890, by an express
train on the Western road. The case was
non-suited in the lower court by Judge
White and the plaintiff appealed.
The cases of Mrs. E. P. Malone and
Lizzie Huchel against the Lake Erie Bail
way Company were argued. On June 17,
1890, the two women went to a picnic at
Alliquippa.. Mrs. Malone had her watch
stolen, and the following day, hearing
where her timepiece was, started to Alli
quippa to secure it The women bought an
excursion ticket and were ejected from the
train on the return trip, the conductor
claiming the tickets were not good on his
train. Mrs. Malone pot a verdict fdr $700
and her companion $225 in the lower court
The cases were appealed by the railway
company.
The appeal of Bea Bros. & Co. against
Isaac S. Van Voorhis, an action to recover
15,000 on stock transactions, was the last
case argued.

QUABAHTINE TO BE MAINTAINED.
Steerage Passengers Won't Have a Pleasant
Time of It Next Tear.
Washington', Nov. 10. In view of the
still lingering possibility of a fresh out
break of cholera in European countries, in
the early spring, and tbe consequent
danger of its introduction into the United
States, the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment have determined to maintain the ut
most vigilance in guarding our ports
against the entrance ot people or merchan
dise that might possibly convey the germs
of the dreaded epidemic. To this end im
migration will be generally discouraged
and the provisions of the President's procla
mation of September 1, imposing a quaran
tine of 20 davs upon all suspected immi
grants will be vigorously enforced. The
transportation companies have been given
to understand this policy of the depart
ment Therefore, in bringing immigrants
to the United States, they do so at their
own risk, and subject their steamships to a
possible detention of 20 days at United
States ports. The Department reserves the
right to remove this restriction in special
cases calling for such action.
According to official construction, all
aliens coming to this country for perma
nent residence will be regarded as such,
whether traveling in cabin or steerage. Tbe
admission of these will be restricted as far
as possible, but bona fide tourists simply
visiting or passing through the country will
be admitted without restriction.
