Some OF the Interesting Experiences
MIR. Charles 6. Leland Has mad
With Gypsies All the World Over.
BY VIRGINIA FRENCH

Part of the glory OF knowing ROM
any lies in the fact that it is not in
books and must be learned from the
gypsies themselves, and the gypsies
the world over make it a kind of
secret and will speak it or teach it
only when they are very good friends
with you. They like to have it as a
mystery just as children like to make
up gibberish that they talk with their
chums and outsiders don't understand.
Charles q. Leland. the author of the
Hons Breitman ballads. knows more
of these people and their language
than any other American: and there
are very few people in the world that
knows so much. and gypsies in Amer
lea and England and Austria and Rus
STA know him and love him and call
him Romany Rye, that is. gypsy gen
tleman, because they think no one can
understand them so well who is not
parity u gypsy himself.
Mr.. Leland loves to meet strange
gypsies and speak to them in Romany
just to see their establishment and de-
light, and he has had a great many
funny experiences in that way.

The winter days fill so much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and

Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched minor

The old glad songs breathe sad re-
frain.
And laughter sobs with hidden. bitter
pain,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed;
Untouched the pillows that. her dear
head pressed;
Ny lonely heart hath nowhere for its
rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long. long days have crept away
like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with
doubts and fears.
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears
Since she went home.

Advice Asked From the State
Board of Railroad Com.
missioners.
THE LATTER's HANDS ARE TIED
Still Patiently Waiting for the De.
cision of the Judge of the
Circuit Court.

Now comes a complaint from Los Banos,
in the San Joaquin Valley, and asks per-
mission and guidance to form ulate charges
against the Southern Pacific Company,
based on excessive freights and fares on
what is called the west side branch of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. and which
extends from Tracy to Fresno, with
short spur from Coils to Armona.
Particular cause OF complaint lies in the
passenger fare charges, which in no case
are less than cents per mile, and between
some stations are as high as cents per
mile.
c. f. Bertholf, prominent merchant of
Los Banos, is the gentleman who is
anxious to champion the cause of his
fellow-sufferers before the Railroad Com
mission. His communication addressed
to the board reads as follows:
Hon. Board Of RailroGd Commissioners, Son
Francisco, Cdl.-GENTLEHEN: Will you kindly
inform me of the proper method of calling to
your official attention an imposition on the
part of the Southern Pacific Company which,
think, properly comes within your jurisdiction
and authority.
/ have reference to the freights and fares
principally faresl imposed by the Southern
Pacific Company on what is known as the San
Pablo and Tulare extension.
The regular passenger rate charged on this
line, which is called a ''branch' is cents per
mile. All trains, by the way, running on this
line are through trains with one exception.
If this matter should be presented properly
by petition in order to receive your Official
attention, please let me know and, If by orGi-
nary complaint under oath by one individual,
please let me know, generally, the matter
necessary to be alleged in such complaint.
/ have tried for four years TO get this matter
taken up by the papers in hopes that some
action would be taken. have also applied to
Governor Budd, and am referred to you, but
am totally ignorant of the proper method of
procedure. Therefore ask to intrude myself
upon your good nature with the above request
Hoping for an early reply am yours, very
respectfully, c. +. BERTHoLF.
Inquiry at the passenger department OF
the Southern Pacific showed that Berth
offs complaint was well founded so far as
the rate per mile on this "branch" being 5
cents. The following table shows the dis
tance between all the points on the Tracy
Fresno branch and the fare charged. The
figures opposite each town show the dis
tance and fare from the preceding town,
taking Tracy as the starting-point:

D|NED IN THE WARDR0OM
Naval Battalion Officers En-
tertain the New Major
General.
The Table Was Laid on Board the
Old Historic Monitor
Camanche.

The wardroom stores of the old Ca
manche were ransacked for their finest
last evening, for the officers of the Naval
Battalion dined on board the monitor with
Maior-General N. T. James as their guest
of honor.
The affair was for the double purpose of
meeting socially with the new command
ing general, and discussing some system
of discipline by which the battalion might
take the most advantage from its possess
sion of the old monitor.
Lieutenant Commander Turner has or
dered that dinner be served on board for
the officers every drill night, so that plans
for the evening may be fully arranged be-
fore the men come on board for drill.
Lieutenant Will Elliott, battalion adju-
tant. who with Lieutenant-Comm
Turner, arranged for the affair last even
ing, was appointed permanent caterer to
the officers mess.
George +. Dlllman, an ex-naval officer
who is a candidate for the command of the
first division, was also guest at the din
ner.
