General Notes

General Notes
SAN DIEGO, March ia band of seven
ty.two Gipsies reached this city yesterday,
having come overland from New York
state. The leader says that the trip across
the continent was long and tedious one,
and provisions were secured only by beg
ging, trading horses and fortune telling. 1t
was explained that the women do all the
work and the men do the horse trading.
The band entered this city by way of Yuma
and Campo, and when they reached the
site of the new brewery came to halt and
took possession of the premises, and in a
twinkling the women had a camp estab-
lshed, while the men smoked and watched
the progress of the work. The band will
remain here until joined by a second con-
tingent of sixty-five and then their march
will be resumed to San Francisco. While
the chief denies that his people are beg
gars their actions show them to be beggars
of the most pronounced description.
The monitor Monadnock arrived at 80
this afternoon from San Francisco, and
will keep company with the Philadelphia in
this harbor for several days.

When flowers are costly, pretty
dinner table decoration may be had by
using smilaX, laurel or asparagus vine
made into wreaths and tied with violet,
scarlet or pink satin ribbon. These
wreaths may be placed at the four COR
ners of the table, inside the covers or
laid around the candelabra, placed in
the center, at the corners or at each
end. Or they may be used at two cor
ners, diagonally, with vases of suitable
flowers, violets or carnations in two
other corners. Ii violet ribbon is used,

crystallized violets and mint leaves; if
pink, rose petals and mint leaves. Can

AN EASTERN VIEW OF MARIPOsILLA

Just now, when everybody who can
is going to California, and every body
else is wishing he could go, the re is q
special pleasure to be found in reading
a book recently written by Mrs. Charles
Stewart Daggett, who was great IA
vorite in Kansas City during the years
when she made this her home. Mari
posilla is the title of Mrs. Daggett's
pretty novel, and, though it is trag-
edy, still it preserves the spirit sug-
gested by that pretty word which IN
English is butterfly.
The scene of the book ia Southern
California, Pasadena, San Gabriel and
an ancient Spanish orange grove in the
San Gabriel valley. The heroine, Mari
posilla, ia a little Spanish maiden
whom the author likens always to the
Gold of Ophir roses which enveloped
the old home. The portrayal Of this
character is an artistic triumph; she is
30 convincingly real and 80 wholly
charming, with her clarifying youth,
her childish sweetness, her Spanish in
tensity. She is little vision which
does not fade away from the memory
as the heroines Of fiction have a way of
doing. In the setting of that sunny
land she remains with one as rare
pitiful close of it all can take away
figure, the very incarnation of the joy
Of life.
Mrs. Daggett reveals a delightful
sympathy with the beauty of the south
ern land. Her pictures of the gayety
and brightness of it all, of the wealth
of the flowers, of the radiance of its
days and the glory Of it's nights, is
something to revel in, even in these
days, when we are apt to consider the
subject hackneyed. 1t is not when the
writer brings to it such sensitive ap-
probation as is Mrs. Daggett's enviable
gift.
The whole atmosphere of the book is
sweet with tenderness and gentle
womanly kindness. 1t is Enthusiastically
the work of a charming, loveable
woman, one of quickest sympathies and
Unborn goodness; though it is clever, it
never suggests the flippant and asser-
tive, those qualities which so pervade
the "latest works." Charm and culti-
vation it reveals, and any faults are
merely due to the Impractical hand
of the amateur. The authors indig-
nation against Mrs. Sanderson marked
the portrayal of that lady's charac-
ter far less effective than it might be
we're the analysis strictly impersonal.
But this is an error not difficult to
overc ONE, and all friends of Mrs. Dag
gett must find reason for Offering con-
gratulations to the author, for Mari
posilla should prove success. More
over, it must interest every reader of
it in Mrs. Daggett's future work

As to the Murder OF Bsheler.


Florence, Sept. 19.-(Special Core
spondence.) 1.-The tent meeting, to which
our church people have been looking
hopefully for weeks past, has been inau-

cumstances. DIR. Culpepper, the able

1t is understood that Beheler stood in
relation to the revenue officials not in the
capacity of informer, but as an officer de

conflict with the federal power, and the
