MISS VAN LEWIS PRofrnTY..
1Inny lnIunbie Wartime Curios to
BE Disposed OF.

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 81. Phillips
Reynolds. of Boston. who has qualified as
one Of the executors of the will of Miss
Elizabeth L. Van Lew, will look after the
sale of the personal property of that fa-
nous woman. This probably comprises the
most interesting part of the estate.
Not only did Miss Van Lew own some
rare old furniture and brie-a-brac, which
must prove salable. but she possessed
many letters from General Grant, Benja-
min Butler. Lincoln, and other leading
men.
OF course the most unique of the belong
ings of Miss Van Lew is the manuscript
which she left to Mr.. Reynolds. This not
only contains full and interesting account
of the life of Miss Van Lew. but gives pos
sibly the only inside account of the man
ner in which the Federal officers who ef-
through the Confederate lines This was
during the latter part Of the war, dan
gercus and difficult undertaking, and no
body CT men could ever have accomplished
il without the aid of some person we'll ac-
quainted with all of the roads leading out
Of Richmond and what is more important
X may be with the influence of some of the
secret Cfficers of the Confederate Govern
menJ.
All these and many other interesting de-
tails. it is expected Miss Van Lew has told
in the manuscript she bequeathed to her
friend Mr.. Reynolds. 1t is expected that
the latter will publish these papers.

MARRIAGE OF GYPsIEs.
The Union of King Chfstidine and
Princess CeoEa


NEW YORK, Oct 8.-Feasting, jol1ity,
ana merriment have pervaded the encamp-
ment of the several tribes of gypsies on
the Boulevard near Elizabeth fer the past
week, because Princess Ceola, the third
daughter of the thirteen children born to
Queen Laura and King Joseph Lowell, Of
the Lowell tribe of nomads, is to be mar
ried. The princess will wed next week in
Chicago young King Chistidine, of the
Western bands Of gypSies.
It is the first time in the history Of gypsy
customs that a lover has secured a bride
without running of with her, followed by
the irate parents, who, when they capture
the runaway couple, no matter how long
the hunt, are wont to thrash the groom if
he has not fulfilled his VOWS TO the bride
or if he cannot support his wife and show
at least horse and wagon. In this in
stance the groom and bride-elect have
secured the consent of the parents and will
be married in Chicago as soon as they get
there.
They left the camp Saturday and will
travel by rail all the way, stopping at Buff
falo en- route. The bride is typical maid
en- of the woods. The shawl worn by her
| Is of pure silk, crocheted by her own
hands, and is of great value. Her teeth
are loaded with gold, while an immense
diamond IS set in one of the cavities.
Young King Chistidine says in this respect
he has a jewel of wife in more ways
than one
Surrounding the tent of Princess CeoIa
are numerous other tents, around which
snaFi and bark a retinue of dogs while
the children of the elder gypsies are gam
! boiling about the sward. Queen Lowell
| and her family live when at home under
roofs in the winter time at Forty-eighth
and Market Streets, Philadelphia, and are
well known there. Joseph Lowell. the
father of Princess Ceola is now nearly
s1xty-fye years Of age and the oldest king
OF the Eastern bands of gypsies He is
hale and hearty and is known the world
over
The bride and groom-elect, when they
are united in marriage will go abroad and
visit the Paris Exposition, returning in the
spring to commence their wandering life
together. The groom is twenty years old
and the bride about the same age. Her
swarthy complexion would indicate an
old age.
The floor of the tent is covered with
expensive rugs and mats worked by the
deft fingers of the princess. During meal
time snowy white damask tablecloths are
spread on the floor and the family squat
or lie in every attitude around them. The
most expensive croekeTy is used, with cut
glass. When visitors discover the elabo-
rae display of china and the rich table
cloths they stare in wonderment The
gypsy nobility live high and stint moth
ing. The bedding CT these nomadic Teo-
pie is of elaborate designs ard rich in
texture and would be fl for an Oriental
hareu or kings palace.
