Whereas, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie

of building a public library building

that it had almost grown tiresome I'M
til the questions was put on the adop-
ton of the resolution. Mr.. Crumrine
said he would take a rising vote. Those
voting for the resolution should rise
and those already standing to either
remain standing or squat during the
count of the vote. Not a soul squat
ted and only two or three remained
seated. When the chairman asked

Corthell was the solitary voter, and
there was a storm Of applause and
heartily laughter. The vote was SO
overwhelmingly in favor of the prop

made the people feel merry.

RoMANY BLOOD.
Peculiarly of the Gypsy Race
Brought Out by "a Noted Amer
lean Author.

The late Charles Godfrey Leland, the
well-known author of the Hans Brett
mann" ballads, has passion for study
ing the race of Gipsies, and at the same
time great human sympathy with
them. The fact that he was the great
est living authority on the Gypsy
tongue and customs gave him little
pleasure compared with the delight
of being hailed as brother by Gypsy
horsetraders at English fairs, and
Gypsy musicians in Russia and Austria,
says Youths Companion,
One day, in Philadelphia, he met
three dark men whom he knew to be of
an ancient stock. He was quite sure
that they could speak language which
contained roots of Sanskrit, Hindi and
Persian. Yet they would make no dis
play of it. They would, like all their
race, deny all knowledge of it as well
as the fact of their Gypsy blood.
He addressed them in Italian, and
they answered fuently. He changed
to obscure tongues of the east, and
again they replied.
"Have you got through all your lam
guages2" he inquired, at last,
Eyes, signor, all of them"
'Isn't there one left behind, which
you have forgotten? Think minute"
"No, signor, none"
"What, not one2"
"Signor, you have seen every egg in
the basket"
Leland looked the man fixedly in the
eye, and put a question in Romany.
There was a startled glance from one
to the other, and then a silence. He
asked them again in Romany. won't
you talk with Gypsy brother?"
That opened the gates. They shook
his hands in great emotion, and tried
to tell him how happy they were in
having met some one who knew them
Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-07-06

Listen to this from our esteemed
contemporary the New Brunswick
Home News:
"Perth Amb0y is to try the expert.
ment of increasing assessment yalua-
tions and decreasing the tax rate.
This year the rate is to be SLIT, as
against 30. 40 per hundred last year.
This is all right if the growth of the
city warranted the increase in the
assessment, but perhaps the tax bills
will be as big under the new arrange
ment as the old. This was the exper-
ience in New Brunswick when, some
ten years ago, the valuations were in
creased about S3, 600, 600. Still, Perth
Amboy has had the reputation of
shirking its obligations, like other
municipalities outside of this city, and
the new valuations may be fair and
equitable.
"Outside of New Brunswick" is
good. The Home News would have
us believe the county seat is the
model city in the State. 1t is to
laugh.
