Gypsies,

A queer race, the gypsies. They don't
take after anybody else, although they are
ready to take anybody else's property.
Their chief industries are horse trading
and child stealing, although they take
hand at fortune-telling occasionally. A
female gypsy can tell fortune as far as
she can see it.
Although gypsies don't seem to care
much for their own progeny, they have a
great attachment for the children of rich
parents, clipping with them whenever OPP
portunity presents ITSELF The children
are carried away with the gypsies, too.
1t is claimed that the word gypsy is a
corruption of the word Egyptian, and that
gypsies are descended from the woman
Hagar, whom Abraham sent forth into the
wilderness to quiet the jealousy of his wife
| "a plausible theory but difficult to sus-
tain, because the Wilderness are all dead
and no newspaper files of that period re-
main.
1t is known that the gypsies migrated
| into Europe from the East in the begin
ming of the fifteenth century. They first
appeared in Paris in 1927, representing
themselves as Christian penitents, driven
out Of Egypt by the Saracens. They wore
silver rings in their ears same as now
their hair was black and crispy, and then
women were fortune-tellers. The French
called them Bohemlans, because large mum
bers of them came into that country from
Bohemia.
Gypsies may be found in almost every
country, and they go by various names. In
Russia they are called Zigani, in Turkey
and Persia Zingarri, in Spain Zincaly and
in Germany Zigeuner. In Moldavia the
gypsies call themselves Roumoani, and the
language they speak Romany. In theil
language Rom means husband, anG
Romany the sect of the husbands, which i:
peculiar, since they are so little given tc

The Tacoma Man-Killer Confesses His
Crime.

TACOMA, July 24th.-Henry Lattine, who
murdered G. G. Grant in this city last Fri
day morning, was arrested at Kalama this
morning on his way to Portland by Sheriff
Holmes of Cowlitz county. The murderer
was sleeping in the smoker, when the
Sheriff approached him and told him he
was wanted. The man turned deathly pale
and did not resist until the Sheriff got him
out of the crowd. But when he found he
could not get away he acknowledged that
he was the proper man. When the Sheriff
landed him in Jail he gave up a roll of bills,
a bunch of keys, bottle of ink and little
wallet of silver and small bills. He is
complaining of being sick and is very nerv-
GUS. Latino has been staying in the city
since the murder, right under the noses of
the police, detectives and reporters. He
occupied room in the Railroad Lodging
house, directly opposite the Globe build
ing, and eagerly watched for the papers
everymorning. Last night he sent out for
someNhew clothes, after which he left the
house

MOBILES DECREE
He Decides Against the Greek Indians
Request for 100000.

WASHINGTON, July 24th.-Secretaly Noble
has decided that the request of the Creek
Nation Indians to he paid $500 ,0o0 from the
100000 deposited TO their credit in the
Treasury cannot be allowed without the
consent of Congress, and the Indians have
been so informed. The report that the
Indians have been defrauded of $46S, 900 is
wrong. OF the $3.50 600 which went to
the Creeks for lands, Congress provided
that 81 600. 900 should 60 into the Treasury
to their credit and the remainder be paid
to their representatives on the presentation
of proper certifications from the Cherokee
Council. This was done; but, as the repre-
sentatives claimed that the $2s00o0 was
expended here for lawyers, etc., IN getting
the bill through, the Indians have de-
manded an investigation, and special
agent has been sent to assist.

Working Hard on the Pension 0fice's
Rerating Business.

Rerating business
WASHINGTON, July 24th.-The Commits
sion appointed by Secretary Noble to in
vestigate the rerating of pensions cases by
the Pension Office were hard at work to-
day in their room, in the Pension building.
The members of the Commission say that
they have not fairly got into the work as
yet. They are examining cases, but have
no idea as to how long they will be en-.
gagged before they will be prepared to make
a report to the Secretary. Everybody is
talking about the Commission and their
work
Now that the Commission is appointed,
it is thought that affairs will be allowed to
simmer until their report is ready. Then,
it is understood, the Civil Service Commits
sion proposes to investigate the charges
made against Corporal Tanner.

WASHINGTON. July 24th.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt said to. day that
charges have been brought against both the
Pension Office and the Sixth Auditors
Office that men had been discharged be-
cause they were Democrats. He was not
prepared TO say that this was violation of
the law, but individually he was firmly OF
spirit of the law. He thought that no one,
unless he happened to be an active parti-
san, should be dismissed from public
service. He said the Commission was GO
ing to look the matter up, not only as re-
lating to the present, but to the past.

So Says she Astorney-&eneral Regarding
Those Chinese from Cuba.
WASHINGTON. July 24th.-The Attorney
General has given the Secretary of the
Treasury an opinion 20 the effect that there
is no legal objection 20 the transit through
the United States OF the Cinnamon who re-
Gently arrived at New Orleans from Cuba,
en- route to China via San Francisco The
Chinese Minister has asked that these men
be permitted to cross the United States on
their way home, and it is probable, in view
of the Attorney-GeneraPs opinion, that his
request will be granted. This opinion is
in accord witha decision given by Solicitor
Hepburn, on the same question some weeks
ago, which YVES, however. not accepted by
the Treasury Department.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TALKS.
WASHINGTON. July 24th.-The Attorney
General was seen by California Associ-
ated Press reporter and asked about his
decision. He acknowledged having de-
oided that the Chinese at New Orleans
could be permitted to pass through the
country to San Francisco as tourists. On
being asked on what grounds he based his
decision he replied: "On the same grounds
as taken by Attorney. General Brewster
some years ago. that Chinese passing
through the country cannot be construed
as coming within the meaning of the terms
of laborers or immigrants under the intent
of the law. As to the Scott Exclusion Act,
that does not cover this case at all That
only deals with Chinese lsborers desiring
to make visit TO China, or who are there
and desire to return, or of laborers who are
coming to this country for the first time.
But it does not say word about Chinese
passing through the United States from
port to port, either coming or going to
China. Therefore could not see how the
Chinese at New Orleans can be prevented
from passing through or any others on the
same mission

though the yield has not been very abund-
