the recent report of the condition OF affairs at
the Spring Valley coal mines, Mr.. Scott de-
nounceI as a conscienceless liar Henry G.
Lloyd, who Is responsible for the report which
contained the statement that he (scott) had re-
fused to reGmploy those who took a leading
part In the distribution OF food during the
strike. Mr. Scott says he did no. refuse en-
strike; that when the men accepted the COM
pany's terms, which were more liberal as to
price than the price paid at any other mines in
the State. more men signed contracts the first
day than the company could possibly put to
work. and miners have been leaving other
ley beyond the ability OF the company to find
work Tor.
1t was intimatsd within q day or two that the
alleged boycott OF AIr. Scotts coal would be
attempted In Erie Such is not the case. as that

the New Republican Club.
INDIANAPoLIs Nov. 9O.-The recent reiec-
tion OF Oliver p. Morton's name and the SUBJ
stitution OF Senator FarwelPs to distinguish q
Republican club here has created rumpus.
The majority of the original members Of the
club are anxious to join new organization.
They declare openly that they will not any
longer contribute to the support Of the FarWell
organization. They say that the few members
who gathered on Tuesday night had
no authority, to, change, the name Of
the policy Of President Harrison. However,
there are great many disappointed ward
workers who endorse the action OF the club In
changing its name. and they assert that they
will step TO the 'front.' and resuscitate the ex-
pirlng organization.
Viewed from all sides, the quarrel In the
party is becoming interesting. A great many
people are anxious to. see whether the Harri-
son or anti Harrison factions will como out
victorious. 1t is the arrangement now to cali
meeting some time next week for the pur-
pose Of organizing the new Republican club
One of the originators Of the movement says
None Of the small fry politicians are to be

Window During q Fire.

Window During fire.
Fire was discovered about l o'clock in the
morning in John Blankss saloon and board
ing house, on Cottage Grove avenue, Chicago,
Ill. Fifteen boarders were asleep at the
time in rooms on the second floor, as were
Blanks and his wife and a two-year-old
daughter, and Mrs. Blanks's mother, aged
eighty.
When the firemen arrived they found the
boarders shouting for help, aud some of them
were about to drop from the windows of their
rooms. Blanks. just as the fremen arrived,
grabbed his child and, not knowing what he
was doing, hurled the little one through the
window to the crowd below. The child
struck on the sidewalk, and was picked up
unconscious and with broken bones and ter
rible bruises. 1t was taken to a physicians
house. A police officer safely rescued Mrs.
Blanks's mother. Some of the boarders were
already partially overcome by smoke and as
the fire was making swift headway they had
to be dragged from their beds. They were
all safely landed. The pecuniary loss is
about $4,000.

THE GYPSIEs.
The Story of Wandering People.
From the academy.

The Story of a Wandering People.
From the ACADEMY.
There is a fascination about gypsy
lore" which is. perhaps, increasingly felt
now that these nomadic insurgents are
being graduaIy-slowly, it may be, but
surely-absorbed by the environing civil
cation. The altered condition of modern
society making their wandering life more
difficult, their language is Invaded by
gdyo elements, mixed marriages alternate
the strength of the Ronany blood, and
dotted over the map Europe there are now
little stationary colonies of house-dwelling
gypsies, who no longer take the road, or
"fold taeir tents like the Arabs"
The gypsies have been clearly visible in
Europe for four centuries and half They
have been the Ishmellites of the modern
world. If at the pre- emit day the law has
ceased to treat them harshly Jae social pres
sure is probably greater, SO it is now or
never for those who wish to make scien-
tific study of these wanderers. A volume,
entitled, the Gypsies," by Adrian A. Col
occi, forms an excellent intro luction to
such a study. The prosecutions of the ZiE-
ga nave been many and bitter. Even in
the last century they were accus I'd of canni-
balism. To their foreign appearance and
strange mode of life they added the prac-
tice of arts that were regarded as irreligious
and heatheniSh.
1t Will be news to many to learn that it
was not until 1856 that. by the abolition Of
Romany slavery in Dacia, the freedom of
the Zingari in Europe was completed.
Colocci agrees with other observers in re-
gardinS the gypsies as practically destitute
of religion, although willing to adopt nomi-
nally the prevailing faith of any country in
which they may be sojourners. In England
they are Protestant in Turkey Moham-
medans Morally they are unframed chill
dren Indifferent to everything but the salts
faction of the desire of the IN )ment, whether
that desire be- the offspring of love, or
greed, or hate.
While there is but little gypsy poetry
among the English tribes, the gift and
faculty divine" appears profusely both in
Spain aud the renotJr parts of Europe;
aud one of the most interesting portions of
this book is that which gives specimens of
the Ronany muse. The pieces are mostly
short, often strange in form, but not fire.
queltly inspired by genuine poetic feeling.
This someti mes finds expression in modes SO
uuexpe cted as to have almost the quality of
genius The gypsy sings the beauty of his
sweetheart; apostrophises the sun and stars
with heathe fish fer sor, and celebrates the
success of the knavish ruses by which he
has gained an advantage over the buSRo.
Filial affection, also, finds place in his
songs. While lie shows the frankish enjoy
ment of the material side of life, there
is often spirit of profound melancholy
manifested in these lyrics The Zingari
have always been famous for their love
of music TIE estimate which gives the
gypsy race million souls Is probably far
below the truth.

poetry in its highest form. In realism
there is the disposition t. adhere to truth,
and what is higher than truthl Now /
confess 10 an admiration for Olida and
enjoy ner novels, not OF course for what
she says, as for the manner in which she
says it. TolstOi, and all that school OF
Russian realists, are wonderful: there is
nothing like their work in all fiction. A
certain eminent scholar and writer of our
country, referring TO Walter SCOTS novels,
not long since took Occas on to state that it
was very delightful in these modern days,
when TolstOi aud others were being so
much read and discussed. to turn back to
the great ScOtchman for intellectual re-
freshment | think the gentleman in ques-
ton lost sight of the fact that hardly any
one to-day could return to Scott and his fol-
lowers for entertainment and find satisfac-
ton. The truth is the people Of the present
day require quite another Kind of reading
from that which afforded pleasure fifty and
less years ago. The short story has taken a
great hold upon the popular mind, both
abroad and in this country. When success
fully handled it is simply wonderful what
e power it has with the reader. But it
doesn't seem to me that 1 could write a
short story, and | prefer to leave the field
TO others who are better able to work the
ground
"Do you think that with US, in America,
rerlism has come to remain!"
Yes, do; at least it will never go back

vance. 1t conforms TOO faithfully to trust,
as I have previously stated, ever TO be any
thing less than it really is, beautiful and

They Wanted Offices.
.From a. Melr York Times.

Congressman Ashbel p Fitch tells good
story regarding the rush of republicans for
the offices. He says that within a few
weeks after the Presidential election last
November he received about 600 letters
from republicans in his district, properly
called Harlem, each asking MIN for copy
of the blue Book" issued by the federal
government and containing the name,
place and salary of every federal official
Mr.. Fitch is an obligi g;gentleman, butas he
possessed only one copy of the ''Blne Book"
and ~ as unable to get another, what could
he do! After rnucn consideration he devised q
scheme which worked to a charm. He seat
his "Blue Book from Washington TO his
home at 1876 Lexington avenue, in this
city, where it was placed in a reception
room, and then he sent note TO each of
his republican, correspondents, explaining
his dearth of blue Books and telling
them that by calling at his house his only
copy would be open to their fullest investl-
CATION. They seized the chance with an
avidity which gave his servants plenty of
employment. Night and day for weeks the
door bell kept ringing, and anxious repub-
licans fairly wore portions of the BOOK out
porting over its contents. Mr.. Fitch is glad
that new edition is to be issued this sum
mer, for his old one is as battered as proof
readers dictionary, and by no meaDs
thing OF beauty, alth ugh it may have been
a great JOY to hungry Office-seekers
