OF GYPSIES
Nomads Going South TO Avoid the
Blasts Of Winter.
An Interesting Camp Established
Near Four Mile Run Dusky-
lers Seen in the Streets of the Capt.
tnI-Trnding Horses With Farmers.

What is said TO be one of the largest gyp-
sy bands that has visited Washington in
recent years is now encamped near the
south end of the Long Bridge.
These wandering folk who have been
scattered throughout the Northern States
during the summer began to arrive several
weeks ago, and they have continued coming
until their number is now about fifty, in
GLIDING men, women, and children. The
gypsies are on their way to the South,
where they go each year to escape the dis
comforts of Northern winter. They are
now awaiting the arrival Of several addi-
tional bands who are en- route to this city
from the surrounding States. When the
expected re-enforcements arrive, their pill
grimage toward the South will be contin-
ued, and the usual gypsy custom Of travel
ing by easy stages and lettering in con-
venient places, where the necessaries of
life can be procured with the least exer-
tion. will be followed.
Owing to the unusually warm weather
which has prevailed this fall, the migration
to the sunny South has been somewhat de-
layed- Usually the middle of November
finds these American nomads much farther
toward their winter goal. generally in
southern Virginia or the Carolinas
In the Southern emigration it has been
the custom of the gypsies since their ar
rival in this country to gather in convenient
localities early in the autumn and to pro-
ceed in a body to a climate more agreeable
to their mode of life. Washington hereto
fore has never been selected as rendez-
vous, but some point farther south has
been decided upon.
The present camp near Four Mile Run
has almost assumed the proportions. of a
village. Were it not for the gaily painted
houses on wheels, the likeness to a West
ern Indian settlement would be striking
Since the arrival of the advance guard
of gypsies in the vicinity of Washington,
there have been many visitors drawn to
the camp by curiosity, and the nomads
have realized neat sums which have been
paid by credulous persons to have their
fortunes told. The tents of the women
fortune tellers have been the objective
points of by far the greater number of
visitors. The tents, although they appear
outwardly small, are commodious habita-
tions, being sufficiently large to contain
several pieces of furniture. In one of
them, which was visited by a Times re-
porter, there was bed, a small bureau,
trunk, and several chairs. The earthen
floor was covered by a brightly colored
carpet, and the general appearance of the
interior was one of comfort and coziness
The men Of the camp when not engaged in
resting spend their time in trading horses
and caring for the animals thus acquired.
The camp therefore has become quite q
horse-trading centre. and many Virginia
farmers who pass daily to and from the
