Three gypsy women, who have been wandering around the city during the past two dnjs grafting money from susceptible people, claiming to tell their fortunes by rending their palms, came to grief yestetday afternoon when they encountered Cunstuble John Davis, of Alderman John's coutt. The wily ottl-cc-r caught tlu dusky women In tho act of "working their graft." as It Is called, and placed them under arrest. He took them before Alderman John, whete a win rant was sworn out for their arrest on the charge of fortune telling, which Is contrary to the act of assembly, and termed a misdemeanor, nnd punishable by imprisonment or line, or both. The women did not deny their guilt, and offered the alderman, whom the queen uf tho tribe called "papa," one dollar each for their re lease. This the alderman lefu.sed and made, out a commitment and ordered the con stable to take them to the county Jail. When they realized that Imprisonment stared them In the face, the women managed to dig up $4.95 between them, which they paid on their aggregate fines of J6. The gypsies thereupon secured their release nnd ptomlsed to leave the town. The hearing affouled much amusement for a latgo uowd of wpectators and despite their pleadings and compli ments to the venerable nlderman, tho unfottunate tilo lett the office In a very dejected mood.
