ty full vote in the November election, and
while The voters OF this section appear to
be awakening pretty generally to the ST
uation, there is quite 4 notable change
as regards the travelling pubic. IN 1896
the hotel lobbies were a perfect gabDie OF
politics. Men almost went wild discuss
ing free silver and sound money and
there was a world OF predictions of dire
calamity for whichever way the election
night result.
To-day the people are calm. They may
be thinking, they may be deeply interest
ed. nut It is certain that they are not
making any calamity predictions. It is
eminently noticeable about the hotels that
business men talk business and not poll
tics.
The Times correspondent does not re-.
member TO have heard of a single heated
discussion of politics at the hotels thus
far during the campaign. The travelling
public, OF course, represents various parts
Of tine country, and the men on the road
must reflect something OF the feeling and
temper of the people over the country. 1t
is a rather singular attitude and just
what It may mean the world viii hardly
know until the polls are c.osed on the 9th
day of November and the vote IS an

In some localities this disposition to
be silent may mean more for Mckinley
and in others more in favor OF Bryan
It will be remembered, as a pc nter. that
the much talk of the people four years
ago did not avail Mr.. Bryan Very much.
Perhaps the decline in talk this year
means more IN action in the Nebraskans

! THE PRINCESS VIOLA.
! The most attractive person in the can
vas village is Princess Viola, as she Is
I called, the daughter of Queen CYNTHIA.
| She possesses beauty as striking as
! it is rare. Her complexion is not as
swarthy as is usual in the members OF
her tribe, while her features are deli
! cate, refined and clear-cut as cameo.
Beautiful, luStrous eyes of dark brown
slightly acquiline nose, lips whose ruby
! red serves to accentuate the pearly white
ness of her perfecty-shaped teeth, make
up a face whose loneliness might serve
J some master artist as fitting model for
n painting of the queen of beauty. Her
figure is 1.-THE and willowy, and her every
movement is that of perfect grace. The
Princess is bride of some six months,
and her husband is as proud of her as he
ought to be. waiting on her with cour-
tesy that reminds one of the stories Of
fairy princes and enchanted castles. This
beautiful girl speaks excellent English,
in rich musical voice and bushes
when reminded of her beauty.
HAD NO PHOTOGRAPH.
I asked her for her picture, and was
much surprised that one SO beautiful
had only once sat before a camera. The
husband had a picture of her taken the
day after the marriage, but priced it
too dearly to think of parting with it.
The photograph does not do justice to
the beautiful girl, as no camera could
catch the rich colorinG and animated
expression of this queen of the gypsies.'
| asked her how, Cd a gypsy girl must
become before she awoke to find herself
a fortune teller, with the wonderful gift
of knowing and seeing the future. AT
this she laughed, and proved : herself
equal to the occasion by saying that
on the 18th birthday at o'clock A N.
the power came to all gypsy girls who
were descendants of gypsy parents on
both sides for five generations.
All who have wished the smoky tents
have been struck with the girls won
derful beauty, as it is a type seldom seen.
