cupied and the three immense build
ings taxed to their utmost Mine Host,

WEDDING IN GYpsY,s CAMP.
Picturesque Ceremonies Attend the
Marriage of Joshua War;
ton at Chicago.

gypsy wedding took place the
other day near Lawrence and Lin
coin avenues, Chicago, where large
band of gypsies are encamped. All
day the camp was the scene of wild
festivities, and many persons were at
tracted to the spot.
Agnes WantaZ was the bride and
Joshua Warton the groom. The GER
emones began at daylight, when the
young men of the tribe danced a fare
well love dance around the tent of
the bride. Later on the bride was
brought forth and decked with wre a. hs
of leaves and grasses. AT noon the
marriage service was performed by
Abraham Janjocz, chief of the tribe.
Immediately following this lot of
flowers were crushed in an iron kettle,
and from the petals the fortune of
the bride was told by Sarah Rogue,
% years old, the chief fortune teller
of the band. During the afternoon
and evening the camp became riotous
with rejoicing, and liquor played a
prominent part.
Several years ago the bride, when a
child, was kidnapped by another tribe
of gypsies and carried west. Warton.
who had been betrothed to her at the
time of her birth, according to the
custom of the people, searched through
the various tribes of the west for years

SNAKE REUNITED THEM.
Separated Relatives Are at Last
Brought Together by
WelI-Told Yarn.

Hon. Eben Heaton, president of the
board of county commissioners at
Lawrenceburg, Ind, has discovered
long separated relatives, and fam
lily reunion will take place at the old
Heaton homestead, near Moore's Hill,
next month.
Several weeks since the Cincinnati
Enquirer contained an account of Mr..
Heaton's killing a large blacksnake
that had been about his premises for
almost two decades. Mrs. Albert
Small, lady of rs years, was visiting
from distant state with daughter
at Button, Ind. Mrs. Small read an
account of the snake, and Heaton be-
ing her maiden name concluded to
write to the Dearborn county official
concerning his ancestry, and inclosed
the clipping in explanation of her writ
ing. Correspondence followed, and
Mrs. Small proved to be the aged aunt
of Mr.. Heaton, whom he had not seen
since 1881, when the family had be-
come separated and scattered and all
traces of each other lost. The discovery
of these kindred enable them to COM
plete a broken chain in the family his
tory and will assist in the closing up
of long unsettled estate that has
grown into value.

AMERICAN FARMS.
A Resume of the Work of the Agricul-
tural Department..

n nesume oI the work OF the ASrlcul-
tural Department..
The department Of agriculture has been
active in the past year. Explorers have
been sent to many of the countries CT the
eastern and western hemispheres for seeds
and plants that may be useful to the United
States and with the further view of OPEN
Ing up markets for our surplus products.
The forestry division of the department is
giving special attention to the treeless re-
gions of our country and is introducing
species specially adapted to semi-arid re-
gions. Forest fires which seriously inter-
tere with production especially in irrigated
regions, are being studied that the losses
from this cause may be avoided. The de-
partment is inquiring into the use and
abuse of water in many states of the west
and collating information regarding the
laws of the states, the decisions of the
regard, SO that uniformity may be secured.
experiment stations are becoming more eff
fectiVe, every year. The annual appropria-
ton OF 900 by congress Is supplemented
by 100000 from the states. Nationwide
experiments have been conducted to ascer-
tain the suttableneSS as to soil and climate
and states for growing sugar beets. The
number or sugar factories has been doubled
IN the past two years and the ability of the
United States to produce its own sugar
from this source has been clearly demon
strated
The weather bureau forecast and OBJ
servation stations have been extended
around the Caribbean sea to give early
warning of the approach of hurricanes
from the south seas to our fleets and mer-
chant marine.

proclamations under section "a of the act
Of March g. 1891, embracing an estimated
area of 4ON9,474 acres
The department of the interior has in
augurated a forest system, made possible
by the act of July, 1898. for a graded force
of officers in control of the reserves. This
since August, hut good results have al
ready been secured in many sections. The
reports received indicate that the system
OF patrol has not only prevented destruc-
tive fires from gaining Roadway, but has
diminished the humber of fires.

PREDICTS COAL STRIKE.
Manager Young, of Mark Hannn'u
Coal Company. Says Biggest Strike
Ever Seen Will BE On Next Year.

In an interview Manager Young, of
the NJ. A. Hanna Coal company, is
quoted as saying:
"In the early part of next year we
will have one of the greatest coal
strikes this country has ever seen.
All indications are that the strike
will last many months.
The miners stand at all times ready
to fight against IL reduction of wages.
When the Chicago contract expires, or
possibly before that time, they will be
obliged to accept reduction of IS to
16 cents per ton or fight. think they
will fight, and will fight harder than
they ever have before.
1.-THE West Virginia miners are
working cheaper than they ever have
before. All efforts on the part of the
other miners to organize them have
been in vain. There is no hope that
they will be brought into line"

LAW is INCOMPLETE.
ritory Will Be Form
ulated.

The interior department is expert
encing some difficulty in carrying out
the provisions of the Curtis act, revis-
ing the laws of Indian territory. 1t
provides among other things that all
annuities, royalties, etc., shall be paid
the residents of the territory by the
secretary of the interior, but does not
make appropriation to defray ex-
penses incurred in this work. This
and other provisions of the bill, it is
said, undoubtedly will be amended by
congress. The secretary of the in
terror, who now holds practically the
position of governor Of the territory,
will soon make public regulations car
rying into effect the Curtis act.
Superintendent Wright. who has been
sent to the territory to investigate
conditions there, will make report to
the secretary and the information Sc
cured in this way may be used in for
mulating the regulations.

A COMING CENrENNIAL.
Plans for Observing Anniversary Of
Founding of City of Washington.


In the year 1900 will occur the centennial
anniversary of the founding of the city
of Washington for the permanent capital
of the government Of the United States
by authority of an act of congress ap-
proved July IS, 1890 In May, 1900, the
archives and general offices of the federal
government were removed to this place.
On the 18th of November, 1900, the national
congress met here for the first time and
assumed exclusive control of the federal
district and city. This interesting event
assumes all the more significance when we
recall the circumstances attending the
choosing of the site, the naming of the
capital in honor of the Father of His Coun-
try and the interest taken by him in the
adoption OF plans for it's future develop
ment on magnificent scale These orig
NAL plans have been wrought out with a
constant progress and signal success even
beyond anything their trainers could have
foreseen The people of the country are
