PASSING OF THE GYPSY.
Romany Ryes Gradually Disappearing
 From the Haunts of Men.


 Troy Times. sen .sys
 The gradual disappearance and extinc- tion of that picturesque vagabond. the genuine, simon-pure gypsy, has caused much comment, but the reason for the difficult to find. There are probably more rowing, wandering yagabonds in the world today than ever before, but a real Romany is seldom found in England, where he formerly flourished. In this country real gypsies were never numer- ous, and are today less so than ever be- fore. They are. occasionally met with, but the bands are either very small or are composed ofe rsetrading seamps and fortune-tellings "fakirs, who have not drop of the Romany blood in their veins. V 1i@ uefEa
 In the old days the gypsy impressed himself and his personality on the liter sature and the art of the countries in which he roamed.sssI 1t. was a poor novel that did not introduce gypsy fortune teller, and a poor play that did not have at least one child stolen by gypsies. while the artists fairly reveled in studies and sketches of gypsy mafdens But the gyp- sies of today do not indulge in any child stealing proclvities. although they occa- sionally make a .'bluf' at telling for tunes. As for the children, they usually have enough of their own not to bother their heads and risk their liberty by stealing those of other people.
 A band of gypsies which appeared in the province of Quebec the other day ac- tually tried to sell their own children, arguing that times were so poor that they were no longer able to provide for the little ones. So 1t can readily be seen that the day of the gypsy is past If he ever had any usefulness he has long ago

A BRAVE ENGINEER.
He Narrowly Averted Catastrophe and
 Was Himself Killed

Hazleton, Pa., Jan 2O.--A frightful ca tastrophe was narrowly .averted on the Lehigh Valley railroad here tonight. The Wilkesbarre express train approached Sugar Leaf, one mile east of here, just as the tracks began to sink in coal mine. Engineer Michael Lonser seized the sit uation and with great presence of mind put on a full head of steam. The earth dropped 80 feet and there hung over the abyss. The engine made the leap in safety, taking the train with it, but jumped the track on the outer edge. The engine then toppled over, pinning the brave engineer beneath 1t and crushing his life out. Fireman Fred Meyer sus- taned fractured skull and may die. Brakeman Seiwell was thrown through a window. All the passengers, about sev- enty-five in number, were badly shaken up. but so far as can be learned none were seriously injured. The earth has since dropped out of sight

It declares that if America carries under which they win close their ports to American ships, a step which the Eelaire says would speedily bring the United States to terms. fe a'i
 The paper argues that the United States has taken ah attitude on the Mon roe doctrine which they will find 1t im- possible to maintain.

Keen Their Hea ds.

London, Jan. 20.--In its issue tomorrow the Chronicle will say 1t rejoices over the Behring sea arbitration as showing that reason still sways, the Anglo-American elations, and persists in it's intention to take an optimistics.Xiew of the situation. It will add that the story of Spain selling Cuba to Great Britain is not even for marines, but for bedlam. The furnish ing of charts of North American waters, the West Indian seas and the Mediterra- mean to the flying squadron, 1t says, is without the least significance, as no Brit ish warship ever starts. on foreign cruise without such charts. It is the uni versa1 custom to supply warships with them. The paper appeals to the people to keep their heads and to discounte- nance wild rumors. It sees nothing in Senator Davis resolution beyond re- vised and more definite version of the original Monroe doctrine. The doctrine is not substantially altered and the res olution is in no wise calculated to dam age the case for arbitration.
