SIGNS OF EVENTS,
as it were. that cast their shadows before ?"
The STAR man asked, realizing that he was
getting enough "points" to set up as fortune
teller himself.
Thousands of Them" answered Celia, "but
can't think Of many now Here is one that I
have never known to fail If you meet white
horse, if you are going on particular business,
1t means success. II it is q piebald horse, it
means that whatever you have asked for will be
given you" Another: ST pigeon that does
not belong to you flies in your house it means
success. Ii it rests on a bed, death. If there
are two pigeons, there will be wedding.
Never tell q dream before breakfast The same
dream three times is friendly warning. Had
William the Second and the Duke of Buckng-
ham paid attention to this they would have es-
capped death as they did"
TELLING FORTUNES BY CARDS.
SLOW about cards? Do you ever use them?"
Sometimes; but the planets aud stars have
much more to do with US. As we are born we
are controlled. Planetary influence is a thing
the scientist of latter days laugh at. but who
can say they are better informed than the as
trol0gers of old. Clubs mean happiness. Hearts
signify joy, liberality and good temper while
diamonds mean the opposite, delays, quarreiS,
annoyance. Spades are the worst suite, mean
ing grief, sickness. loss of money. For myself
| depend more on the science OF astrolOgy than
on cards, though palmistry helps out"
"You read destiny by
SEEING THE PALM
then ?"
"Oh. yes, now and then, but it is not always
reliable The lines of the palm bear relation
to the events of life. Take the Line of Life. 1t
rises where the thumb joint meets the wrist on
the inside. The Line Of Death separates the
fleshy part Of the hand on the little finger side
The girdle of Venus from the extremity of the
lowest joint Of the little finger. 1t makes a
curve and ends between the fore and middle
fingers. There are others. but these are the
principal ones. AS they run or are interfered
with by the others we make our predictions. My
main reliance after ali, is from impressions
formed uncOnsciously when coming in contact
with my callers. / have been successful-re-
markably successful. Now, my impression is
that you will become wealthy, but you won't
get married"
The STAR man said he did not know about
"HttueI uOL H0 WOulU ever get OuL
he was certain to get wealthy that newspaper
reporters received such princely salaries that
they always ended up weaithy-in their minds.
There will come here" said Miss Celia ''in a
few days, Marion, the SILENT as we call her.
She is now with a party of gipses near
Philadelphia. She Is a wonderful seer. but she
is dumb, and has to write out everything or tell
it to others in signs"
WHY GIPSIEs GO THROUGH WASHINGTON.
''Why do so many gipsies go south by way OF
Washington" THE STAR reporter inquired, hay
ing in view the fact that six tribes are now
camped near Alexandria.
1T is for this reason" she replied 1.-THE gip-
sizes of to-day use the maps in their travels that
their ancestors did. Those maps only show one
river that has a bridge over it, the Potomac, and
we all come this way. This is my second trip
this way. was in Washington for couple of
days, and earned few dollars telling for
tunes"
What kind of people secure your servces?"
'All kinds, but mostly
YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE IN LOVE,
or who have been. They ask US all kinds of
curious questions. Now, l never promise to
bring back lover to them, and but few gp-
sizes do; though other fortune tellers make
such promises 1t can't be done. If Osmanla
was to forget me, all the fortune tellers in the
world could not bring him back"
"DO gipsies steal horses and children as often
as some peope Think" The STAR reporter asked,
apOlOgizinS afterwards. however, for the di-
rectness OF the question.
GOOD GIPsIEs DO NOT STEAL.
"We are often spoken of as horse thieves and
child stealers," was the answer; "but 1 have
never yet heard Of real gypsy being convicted
of either. Tramps frequently are but tramps
are not gipsies. The Charlie Ross case gave
all of us great deal of annoyance We were
stopped everywhere and our wagons searched
for nearly year. Every time band happened
to have light hair boy people were sure
they had found Charlie Ross. Many bands of
gipseS looked as earnestly for Charlie Ross as
did others, aud had any gypsy found him he
would have been returned to his parents
ABOUT CHARLIE ROSS
"What is the gypsy theory in regard to that
case 2"
''Our theory is that Charlie Ross, II he was
ever stolen at all. is now back with his parents.
or at least that they know Of his whereabouts.
We have children now and then who are given
US by their mothers, who ask US to raise them.
They say they do not want to place them in
orphan asylums, and have no means to care for
them These children grow up gipSies Expo-
sure to the weather tans their skins and dark
ems their hair. and by the time they grow up
they as dark as any of u.s. But we don't
we can take, and why should We steal them?
Gipses are rOvers. They are born so. they are
reared SO. and they generally die rOvers No
other life would suit them, and they could not
stop roaming around if they would. There are
few exceptions. but they are not many"
Gypsy FAMILIES IN WASHINGTON
"There are three families in Washington who
are gipsies; yet they live in the city nearly all
the time. Now and then they take to the road
for spell, but return to city life after while.
They are engaged in horse trading, and some OF
the men with US say they are doing well Did you
see the Arab gipsies in Washington the other
day? They are in Virginia now Thoseand the
Turks, who passed through some days after
wards, are strangers in this country. They
only arrived in New York in June. They were
as curious to US as to other people, In time
they will get rid of their bears and monkeys, and
live by other means. They are i'm wretched
cOndtion-poOr. no clothes hardly, and unable
to speak q word of English. We met them in
Pennsylvania in August"
The STAR reporter thanked Miss Celia for the
pleasant interview and departed. As he was
leaving she asked that he call again before they
started on their journey south. and begged him
not to say anything in The STAR that would
hurt her people. The STAR reporter feels that
he has not.
