AccoRU1NG to newspaper reportl
the gypsy camps in New Jersey are
better patronized than the churches.
Crowds throug the teuts, and on Sun
days the dusky headquarters look like
a camp meeting. Society cannot
understand the "drawiug" powers of
a band. Of unwasbed vsgabonds with
dark eyes and pretty daughters. A
first class philosopher out Of work
ought to visit these cocoonut colored
children of the field and explain it.
One young lady, signing her name
Violet Cameron, has cent a well writ
ten letter TO the chief She wishes to
Join his company. He is wise man,
for he advised her to go home. But
she remains in New York. She is
anxious to leave her father and mother
and roam with the gyps es. She has
a comfortable home in the Northwest
where they raise forty bushels OF
wheat to the acre and have tornadoes
every afternoon. But she wants to bo
a Bohemian girl. With the gypsie.
there would be no one to hustle her of
to bed at 10 o'clock; no father to keep
her away from the young bank cashier
at the front gate. She imagines that
life would be grand excursion
This gypsy-struck girl is making a
great mistake. She would find a
vagabond life one of intolerable hard
ship. The best thing that she can do
is to go home, and leave the gypsies
to the stars and the police.

"Snip" Donovan, charged W itb the muir
der Of John Chew The CON ,bined efforts
of three men, with that Of Coroner Will
lam r.. Van Dyke, failed to bring forth
any facts beyond those alD ady stated.
Besides Night Watchml IN RedclifF and
Frank II. Crawford the wo men held in
Freehold jail as witnesses the only other
person who knows anyt hing about the
alleged quarrel between Donovan and
Chew is Henry Williamt on, a stable bov
in the employ of the 'Rancocas stables.
Williamson, it is said, was an eve witness
to all that transpired. He9has stubbornly
refused to open his moUthiin regard to the
murder and claims he was not present.
He will be a witness at the inquest.
Prosecutor Iyans placed score Of men
at work to search the pond near the Ran
cocas stables for the lSnifeused in the MUIR
der of Chew. Thus far it has not been
| found. 1t was said here by an interested
party that Donovan win claim that the
murder was committed in self defense,
and that to substantiate this Donovan
will show two wounds inflicted upon his
person, one being a cut on the arm and
the other an alleged stab wound in the
left arm pit. The cut on the arm is very
slight, but the stab, DR.. w. b. Beach, of
Eatontown, says, is a very dangerous one.
A determined effort is being made at
EatOntOwn and at Monmouth Park to save
Douovan's life, and many claim that the
murder was done in self defense.

equally lengthy from Commissioner

allay the general storm Of indignation
aroused against the Pension Depart

clear the Secretary's skirts that he
vicariously takes the blame upon him
self and asserts that Mr.. Smith has

liberal towards pensioners than any Of
his subordIuates, myself included"
This is. indeed, oreditable to the Sec.
