DIED ON CITY HALL STEPS.
Crawford n. Butts Expires Suddenly
Early This Morning.
His Body Discovered by a City En-
ployee--Medical Examiner Palmer To
Hold an Autopsy.

Crawford III. Butts, 60 years OF age,
was found dead on the steps OF
the Washington street entrance
of the City Hall at 6:i5 o'clock this
morning by Superintendent Nj. J.. Gray of
the street cleaning department. The body
was taken to the morgue by order of
Medical Examiner Palmer.
For the past Is years Butts has been en-
ployed by Colonel William II. Thornton,
dentist at 76 Snow street, and
performed the chores about the
place. This morning he attended to
his usual duties and was in the act OF
crossing the yard with a pan of food for
the dog, when a man entered the gate and
going directly TO the dog house, unloos-
ened the rope and started TO go out with
the dog.
Butts at once demanded that he release
the dog. but the man, who gave his name
as George III. Hardy refused, claiming that
the animal belonged TO him. A scufiie
ensued between Butts and Hardy during
which the coat on the latter was badly
torn.
Hardy finally proposed that Butts
accompany HIM to the City Hall
where the ownership OF the dog
could be proved and Butts agreed.
When they reached the Washington street
entrance OF the municipal build
ing Hardy saw that il was closed and
went To the ENchange race entrance.
Butts attempted TO get into the first
entrance and his dead body was discov-
cred on the steps a short time later by
Mr.. Gray.
Hardy was taken 10 the Central Station
where lac will be detained until
the medical examine makes his
report. DIR. Palmer is OF the opinion that
an autopsy will be necessary TO de-
eide the cause of death. lt Is the
general opinion that Butts died while un-
dergoing great excitement
The deceased was a brother OF Martin
Butts, formerly police officer in this city.

THRIVING ON PERSECUTION.

10
The Uypsfes of Hungary stun Maintain
Their Ancient Customs Unchanged.
TnIiungnry there are, according 20 a
rough estimate, about one hundred and
fifty thousand gypsies, yagabonds who
wander about the country with their
carts and horses, accompanied by their
women and children; and though at
ONE tiine prosecuted as unbelievers and
hunted 70 death as sorcerers and poi
soners, the cruel edicts which enjoined
such treatment were never sympathized
in by the Hungarian people. The re-
suit Is, as we learn from 1.-THE Peoples
Of the World that the gypsies have
increased, and, in their own thriftless,
squalid fashion, prospered, despite tho
hard usage they have received at the
hands of their rulers. Indeed, the HIM
garian kings have more than once pro-
tected them as a poor wandering peo-
pie without a country, and whom all
the world rejected and granted them
safe conducts 70 60 wherever seemed
good to them, with their troops of
donkeys and horses. Joseph II. of
Austria tried TO settle them as agricul-
turists, and had huts built for them.
But instead of occupying the comfort
able dwellings themselves, they stabbed
their cattle in them and pitched their
tents outside. Then. to prevent their
corn from sprouting, they boiled II be-
fore sowing; and though their children
were taken from them and trained up
into habits of work under Magyar and
German peasants, these wildlings soon
escaped and joined their parents. with
out having learned anything from their
forcible apprenticeship TO civilization.
It is affirmed that gypsy who had
actually risen TO the rank Of an officer
in the Austrian army disappeared one
day and was found six months after
ward with band of Zingari encamped
onthe heath. A young Slovack peasant
fellin love with and married gypsy
girl, but in his absence she escaped TO
the woods, and, when discovered, was
sleeping under the skies and feeding on
hedgehogs, after the fashion of the
race from whom she had been taken.
Able List, charmed with the talent
for music displayed by gypsy boy,
took him to Paris and tried to train the
little lad. But all in vain. The mo-
ment he saw his own people in Vienna
his delight was indescribable; there
was no longer any hope of keeping him
under the restraint of polite life.
