Oypsles 60 Meet Here.

According to the Mnskogee Times
there is to be big meeting of Gyp-
sizes in Ardmore next month. II
they come our people and officers
had better keep a sharp lookout or
someone may suffer from their dep
relations. The Times says:
"A band of Gypsies passed
through town Saturday. They
were enroute to Ardmore, where
there will be a meeting of the
Rommany folk in August. This
meeting of the Zingari will be the
largest in recent years unless they
receive orders from their queen to
postpone the gathering. which is
not infrequently the case. There
were three we'll arranged covered
travelling wagons and twelve souls
in the band that passed through.
They are an interesting study.
The writer, with Edgar l.. Wake
man, formerly of Chicago, we'll
known litterateur and authority on
Gypsies. spent two month swith the
Rommany people at Terre Haute,
Ind, some years ago. The Gyp
sizes are now cosidered to have
come from India, the main body OF
their language. though mixed with
great number of borrowed words,
having a close affinity with some
of the Indian languages. They
have no peculiar religion. The
children grow up in idleness and
| the habits of stealing and cheating
The marriage ceremony is of the
simplest kind. If the husband
becomes tired of his wife he turns
her off without ceremony. There
is no idea of education amongs
them. They appeared first il
England in the 10th century ant
the first record of their appearance
/ in this county was at Boston il

near Dayton, o., and is quit

Yesterday

Ben rIetcalf the Victim of an Accident
Yesterday.
We learn today that Ben Met
calf, who for long while was sec
ton foreman at this place was Sc
riously and perhaps fatally injured
near Dougherty last evening.
He is foreman of a section crew
there and when they quit work at
6 O'Clock last evening to return to
town Metcalf took a seat on some
lumber on the front car. 1t seems
that they had one or two push cars
in front Of the hand car and he
was sitting on the foremost one.
In some way he lost his balance
and fell ir front of the cars, which
ran onto him before they could be
stopped. The cars were heavily
loaded and cut him up in a fearful
manner.
He was taken to Dougherty
where every attention was giver
and he seemed to be resting easily
today. The full extent of his in
juries are not known here, but arr
reported to be very serious.

A Curiosity.

w. B. Johnson was today ex.
hibiting a curiosity in the shape
of twin eggs, or rather, one egg in
two parts. There was no shell,
but simply the soft, semi transpar-
ent skin which is on all eggs be-
meath the shell. There were two
compartments. each about the
size of walnut, connected by a
short ligament of skin. In one
was the yolk of the egg and in the
other the white. Both were per
fectly distinct through the skin
covering and entirely separated one
from the other. Several efforts
were made by those who saw the
curiosity to draw some political an
alogy from it, but their efforts
were vain until it was suggested
that it typified the division of the
republican party, the white repre-
senting the silver wing and the
yolk the gold wing of the admins
tration party. the ligament con-

FALALSE.
TRAVEL NOTES BY MRS. ANNA BOWMAN
DODD.

FALAISE. The Town OF the Conqueror. By Anna
Bowman Dodd. Illustrated. octave. PIP. xiv,
2sO. Boston: Little, Brown & Co.
Mrs Dodd tells us, first of all, of ride across
the Caen plains in a charabanc. We get
glimpses of the roadside; reflections on the dis
appearance of classical poses and other charm
ing things among milkmaids; glance at several
Beaux Arts students from Illinois, who go
chattering by on their bicycles; occasional
breaths Of air, flashes of color. and suddenly the
chateau of Falaise. This part Of the book is
written in sprightly and picturesque manner.
Movement and musing are jumbled together in
Irrelevant and somewhat incongruous way;
but this is natural part of Mrs. Dodds vi
vacity OF style. She INDUCES in rather violent
contrasts at times, and has scruple about in
truding modern figures into medieval scenes, or
about dovetailing poetry with prose- as for ex-
ample. only the stars and a few trembling gas
jets below them were lighting the town.
Once in Falaise Mrs. Dodd settles down to tell
the "story OF Arlette" Arlette had "a girlish,
graceful figure and "eyes lucent with good
ness" that met the eyes of Robert, Count
dHiemes. Robert became Duke of Normandy
and at his death proclaimed his and Arlettes son
William his heir. The author relates In
vivid manner the story Of Williams boyhood
his capture OF Falaise, his campaigns against
the rebels in his domain, and finally his con-
quest Of England, by which he changed his
name from William the Bastard to William the
Conqueror. The rest of the book deals with the
history of the great fair. the chateau of Falaise
and the Falaise Of to-day. The fair was estab-
lished by Robert in the eleventh century, and is
still held. The chateau of FaIaise, first men
TONED in the ninth century has passed through
many changes. The dramatic events which took
place in it and the famous people who lived in
it make it a fascinating goal for the traveller.
AS for. the Falaise of to-day, it contains some
modern streets, one named after Victor Hugo;
several squares. and the two charming churches
-Sainte Trinite and Saint Gervais There are
also several new chateaus and other signs of
modern times. Mrs. Dodds pleasant little book
contains several illustrations from photographs
