A Gypsy Wedding.

Were you ever at a Gypsy we'd
ding? Well, never mind, all guests
are welcome, even the hated gringo,
if he brings plenty of silver coins to
exchange for weak, red wine in which
to drink the brides health. outside
the marriage tent a solemn company
of men and women, brave in Gypsy
finery of scarlet shawls and brilliant
handkerchiefs, are dancing in the
mud, their hands interlaced after the
fashion of children playing ring
around-the-rosy. These are the
brides kinspeople. The parents OF
the groom stand apart before their
tent, apparently unconscious that Il
wedding Is in progress.
Lift the tent flap and you will see
a curiousgsight. On the floor is spread
a red barred table cloth and on it
is meat and wine and many Romany
delicacies. A merry crowd of young
folk, the friends of the bride and
groom, are feasting, laughing and
singing with the joy of youth and IT.
responsibility. Standing at the back
of the tent, totally ignored by the as
sembied company, are the bride and
groom. The girl, full bosomed, strong
and beautiful, is in ~tearsz-one end

of her white tulle veil drawn across
her face to hide it's sadness. She
leans IN the arm of a dark, slender
boy, who looks anything but happy.
The bride is clad in a trailing robe
of red velvet, but the groom's only
concession to this ceremony is a more
than usually gaudy neckerchief, a
new gray felt hat and a clean shirt.
Presently the headsman of the
tribe-whose Office is now obsolete
losses a s~harp-bited axe out into the
crowd and himself emerges from the
tent with a headless chicken its blood
dripping on the ground. This is the
final ceremony. The young people
are now married and the bride leaves
her parents and her own tribe forev-
err. Perchance in after years she may
pass her people on the road-but
from their tents she goes forever.
THERE'S no Joy in marriage and
courtship for the Romany girl. She
weds at her parents command and is
not allowed to speak to the man who
will make Or mar her future on any
topic pertaining to their life together
until after marriage. A Romany girl
who marries outside her caste is
thrust out of the tribe forever. She
cannot marry a house dweller and re-
main in the tents of Romany.-Jessie

AS MATTERS STAND.

George J. Haney's, call upor
Charles A. Bloomfield to prove the
charges made at the mass meeting
last Thursday night, has aroused UNI
usual interest in the matter.
Mr.. Bloomfield says Mr.. Haney
went to his house and he tells what
he declares took place between them.
Mr.. Haney admits that they met, but
he does not give his version of what
took place.
1t would seem that it is more Mr..
Haney's duty to prove that what Mr..
Bloomfield says is not rue than to
call upon Mr.. Bloomfield to prove
what he has already declared to be
true.
Mr.. Bloomfield has made his state
ment, and says he is ready to stand
by it.
1t will be hard to change the pub
lie impression until Mr.. Haney takes
some action to show that such a
thing is impossible.
Mr.. Haney's close association with
Asbury Fountain in the Board of
Freeholders; the history of the Am
boy bridge; Mr.. Haney's part in the
local coal combine which soaked"
the city $6.25 per ton for 600 tons
of coal for the schools; his connec-
ton with the recent water board
deal, in which an effort was made to
pay Asbury Fountain $4,000 for a
tract of land worth about $500, are
all readily recalled.
In his effort to carry this city for
Dory Strong's ring, MI. Haney has
brought himself into the limelight.
The people are bound to take notice
Of him and he must abide by the will
of the majority.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IL.
A 1T OVER"

During the past month or two
there has been nothing too bitter fOI
Boss Strong's personal organ, the
New Brunswick Home News, to say
against Alexander II. Fordyce, Jr. Al
this is for no other reason than that
he has dared to ask the people to
nominate him for state senator with
out first getting the consent of Boss
Strong.
Yesterday the New Brunswick
Daily Press made the Home News
eat its W words. by going over
the back numbers of the Home News,
the Press was able to show how Boss
Strong's own organ had praised Mr..
Fordyce for all that he had done
and called him an honor to Middle
sex while he was in the assembly.
For instance, the Home News, of
late, has been ridiculing Col. Fordyce
claiming he was not able to make a
speech. Yct, in its issue of February
10, 1904, the Home News said as
follows:
"Assemblyman Eordyce made Il
distinct impression on the house in
his maiden speech, which is no small
distinction considering the indiffer-
ence with which young orators are
generally greeted in the legislative
bodies OF today. But, anyway, Mid
dlesex county generally seemed to eX-
poet a good deal of Mr.. Fordyce after
the remarkable campaign he made
last fall and the way he led the as
sembiy ticket at the polls
Again the Home News has recently
said that Col. Fordyce was not IA resi-
dent of MiddlescX county because his
law practice was i'm New York. for
getting that Senator Jackson's bust
ness is also in New York and that
he merely resides in New Brunswick
the same as Col. Fordyce resides in
Dayton. In its issue of October DO.
1903, the Home News said:
"Fcw young men in any campaign
within memory have impressed vot-
ers so favorably as Alexander II. For
dyce, Jr., the young lawyer from Day-
ton, who is running for assembly on
the republican ticket. This is the
view which we hear everywhere ex-
pressed. That he has grit, ability
and honesty shows in his strangely
attractive face. We SINCERELY
hope he will be elected. Such
PROMISING YOUNG MEN ARE
SCARCE"
The Home News was glad to back
up Colonel Fordyce on his stand
on the Morris canal question
when he was an assemblyman. In
its Issue of April 2, 1904, il said:
at is said that II The Morris and
Essex canal Abandonment should eyer

The Two Thieves That Were Cruel
fed With the Saviour.

The Two Thieves That Were Cruci-
ned With the Saviour.
In nine out Of ten pictures OF the cru
cidxion where Christ's two companions
in death are represented they are pic
tured as having been fastened to the
cross with thongs or cords. The ques-
ton naturally arises, Were tht\ thieves
in reality bound to their different in
struments of torture while the blessed
Saviour was nailed to his? And, il so.
which mode of death was considered
the more gaominious-binding or nail
ing? The remotepess of the event and
the fact that in this case historical truth
may have been sacrificed to pictorial
effect make the above questions hard
ones to answer The early writer's al
most invariably refer to the thieves as
having been nailed to the cross, while
the early picture makers adhered to
the general rule OF representing them
as having been tied or bound to their
separate crosses.
If we are to give any credence to the
story Of the holy Empress Helen and
her reputed discovery Of the three
crosses in the year 328 4. D., the two
thieves were nailed to their crosses in
q manner similar to that observed il
the crucifixion Of the Saviour This
conclusion has been settled upon fol
this reason: When the three crosses
were disinterred from the mound il
which tradition said they had beer
buried, that upon which Christ hat
suffered was only distinguished from
the other two by the miracles it per
formed This would certainly suffice
to prove that all three Of the instru
ments Of torture bore similar mai
marks and that the tradition Of Chris
being the only one nailed was no
known at that time.-St Louis Repuh
