Cleanliness is not a characteristic of
the children of Romany, but this fact
did not enter the minds of the officers
of the Pacific Mail company's steamer
San Jose on the last trip when they
acquiesced to the request for soap
each day, says the San Francisco Call
1t was not until the steamer reached
the DISSEMINATING point that those con-
nected with the vessel learned that
they had fallen victims to the nomads.
The soap which had been given the
individuals each day was carefully
hidden away, and on leaving the
steamer they We're burdened with
cakes of soap accumulated during the
trip.
The gypsies. numbering about TWEEN
ty-five, boarded the steamer at Ancon
and travelled to Mazatlan. They were
an uncleanly lot, and when they
washed no soap was used This at
tracted the attention of an officer, and
he handed bar of soap to them.
AS soon as his back was turned the
piece was secreted Their avarice
was now aroused, and each day they
would apply for soap. When the
gypsies asked for it it was given with
without question. The storekeeper
and his superiors were in blissful ig-
norance of what was going on, but
when the gypsies were marched off
the vessel they were seen to be car
rying huge bundles, which provd to
be the soap OF the Pacific Mail com
pany.

Privileges Of Ambassadors.

An ambassador cannot be sued; in
fact, he is exempted from all legal
process by a statute which was
passed to appease the wrath of Peter
the Great Of Russia, whose ambassa-
COR was actually arrested in London
for debt of $3.50. Ambassadors are
in all countries permitted the free ex-
ercise of their religion. They aye ex-
empted from direct taxation, they
have special letter bags for their
mails, and they pay no customs du-
ties on anything they import This
latter privilege is, however, now SUBJ
ject to limitations, for it was formerly
much abused in certain countries
whore high customs duties obtained.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Vermillicn In Doubt About Taking
Over Two Plants.

Over Two Plants.
Sentiment seems to be growing at
i Vermillion that some move should be
made looking to the purchase of the
watcrworks and electric light plants.
The theory is held by many that with
! municipal ownership of both plants,
| the city could not only better the
service but would reduce the cost to
patrons. There are others, however,
who question the advisability of buy
ing either plant, especially as the city
| would have to be bonded heavily to
make the deal. Just at present the
taxpayers of Vermillion are paying
about all they can reasonably stand,
| and this may have great deal to do
with the defeat of bonds should they
be voted on. Practically every cent
OF money that goes into the city treas
ury comes through taxation. Reeve.

For some time the Milwaukee COM
pany has been DESTROYS of enlarging
its stock yards in Vermillion, but in
CAdCi " w ILLS me company was
compelled to bring condemnation pro-
ceedings to secure title to fourteen
lots near the station. At a special
term of court before Judge E. G.
Smith of Yankton, the jury decided
that the lots in question were worth
$50 each. Miss Carrie Daily on the
witness stand, testified that the lots
were worth at least $1O0 each to her.
She is the principal owner, having
eleven Of the fourteen lots in her
name. However, the Milwaukee COM
pany can have the bunch Of lots at
$50 per lot, as the owners have signi-
fled their intention to accept the jury's
verdict.

for some miles in depth.
Whenever a watercouse went even

numbers of the deer took it's base for
their road. Perhaps this was in con-
sequence of inherited fear OF being
chased by animals following by scent.
Or it is possible that the abundance
of food supplies in the way of eel
grass and the moss on the submerged
boulders and banks tempted them.
To sportsman it was an impress
sive sight to see these handsome
creatures, many Of them with their
neck markings as white and as perfect
as white cravats could be, all head

broom out in the woods to sweep up
some persimmons.
