 New York. Jan. 1.--Setting the pace for marriage reform in the United States. New York and New Jersey opened the new year with changes in laws governing respectively the mar rlage contract and the. divorce.

THE eYPslEs OF HUNGARY.
Government to Put End to vasabond
 Tendencies of Tzieanes.

The Hungarian government an nounced some time ago that energetic measures were to be taken to put an end to the vagabond propensities oi the Tziganes, says the New York Her aid.
 Hungary is the home of the Tzig anes, in so far as they have any home In all other European countries they were persecuted for centuries, but in the fifteenth century the Hungarians took pity on them. There are about 150,o00 Tziganes, and, with few excep. lions, they are musicians.
 The typical Tziganes may be best seen near the Croatian frontier in the district of Nagy-Karped. Their camps are always set up at some distance from the town or village and If possi. ble near forest. Their huts have but one room and are devoid of furniture Tziganes take their meals and sleep on the bare boards.
 Many unsuccessful attempts have been made to restrain the Tziganes Emperor Joseph II once allotted land to them and ordered them to cultivate their acres. They turned their houses into stables, set up tents near by for their own use, and to prevent the corn given them from sprouting they boiled it.

GAME LAW QUESTION
 STILL UNSETTLED
Difference of Opinion Over
 Bnning Deer From Mexico,

DOUGLAS, Jan. 27.-(Special.)-
 Supervisor McGione of the local for estry office has recently received from E. l.. Pinney of Phoenix. fish and game warden for the territory, a letter in reply to one he wrote at the request of number of local sportsmen regard ing the status of deer killed in Mex leo and brought into this country. The point in question which has been in- teresting the local hunters Is whether this deer can be offered for sale in the United States.
 The question came up soon after the expiration of the season on this side of the line. Since that time there have been many hunting parties for deer in Mexico and a few have been making a business of bringing in deer for sale to the meat markets in Bisbee. As many as ten or fifteen carcasses at a time have gone through Douglas being shipped to Bisbee and other points. It has been noticed that for some reason the Douglas markets have refrained from handling any of it and when asked why they had not, MT. Fisher of the San Bernardino market said last night that they had looked into the matter and had been given to un- derstand that 1t was against the law to handle it. He said that he would like to handle yenison but had been advised to let it alone.
 Game Warden Pinney gave out a statement some time ago that such traffic in game was illegal and that those engaged were Fable to prosecu- tion. Douglas attorneys have taken he opposite stand, however, and 1t is so.eiy upon their statement, that, in their opinion, test ease could not be won out by the government. that those engaged in the business have felt safe continuing it
 At the request O. a number of Doug. ias people Supervisor McGlone wrote to MT. Pinney notifying him of what was going on and asking his opinion in regard 10 the status of the game law. His recent letter in reply said that he is still of the same opinion but that he had taken up the matter with the authorities in Washington and will await their advise before taking any action in the matter

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY.
Drummer Naturally Was Diseoneert
 ed, but Only for a Moment

He was dry goods drummer on his way back to New York from Washing ton, and finding himself alone. and having read the daily paper, he went over and dropped into seat beside a stranger and began:
 T see that the United States Sen ator who was convicted of stealing government land out west somewhere and sent to prison for a year, is out again"
 Yes" was the cold reply.
 Do you remember his name?"
 NO"
 Remember how much he stole?"
 No"
 Well, it was a good thing. but l wonder how they ever convicted him. Whats your opinion of a United States Senator who goes into such a job? He should have got five years instead of one, shouldn't he?"
 Perhaps so."
 There are probably others engaged in the same sort of steals?"
 Probably"
 Well. I hope they will all be brought to- prison bars. The people are in earnest in this demand for re- form. Do you hang out in Washing ton?"
 More or less"
 Then you have met this fellow who went to prison?"
 Yes; he Is my brother"
 The drummer whistled and raised bis eyebrows. The position was em- barrassing, but only slightly-to him. He unused over it for minute and then said:
 "Oh, well, no fellow can ever tell what his brother is going to do. Do you care about a game of poker?"

Happen Only In Books.

Only in books" says Dr. Hornaday do porcupines roll down steep hills in order to gather dead leaves upon their quiIls, and thereby be able to do more wonderful things. Only in books do kinghshers catch fish, carry them a mile or less and place them in brook in order to give their nestlings object lessons in ichthyology and in the gen. tie art of angling. Be not startled by the discovery that. apes and monkeys have language for their vocabulary Is not half so varied and extensive as that of barnyard fowls. Take no stock in the systematic and prolonged 'duels' of wild animals who meet and fight to the death under marquis of Queens berry rules. Chicago Tribune.

RAVE NARROW ESCAPE.

A J. Nj. Cunningham, Blondy Davidson and W A. Schwartz had a marrow escape from a very extensive walk on Sunday. when the first named's auto mobile, carrying the party, was put temporarily out of commission in the Chiricahua mountains at distance of fifty-three miles from Bisbee A pin, which regulated the gears, was broken by a pump Fortunately 1t was splint- cred in such way that small piece remained intact, and it was possible after a great deal of work and worry to get the high gear in action. The run to the hunting farm in the valley was made entirely on the one gear, and the party arrived home late in the evening.
