GYPSIES AROUND.

Gypsies were around town yesterday
telling fortunes and 1t is said some OF
them were quite sklllful at reading the
past. II appears that a complaint was
made by a party residing not very far
from where they are encamped, to Chief
of -Police Mcdonnell and an attempt was
made to compel them to nov on, it is
said. Whether il was successful remains
TO be seen. Last year gypsies were en-
camped some time at the same place.
There Is always uneasiness when the
gypsies are around, for although they
may be ever 50 honest, there are Others
who will take advantage of the chance
for stealing. We doubt many a theft
is laid to the gypsies that was not com
mitted by them.

given this season. The stand Is there yet,

great many who looked forward to band
night eagerly and enjoyed the music
