ODD CUSTOMS OF GYPSIEs
Marriage Ceremony Closed by Bride
and Groom Jumping Over
Broom-Wed at Early Age.

London.-There are traditions of the
marriage ceremony among certain
gypsies in England consisting simply
of jumping over broom or Bosom,
and it is only within the last fifty
years that that custom has been ex-
tinct in Wales.
The bosom was held by the father
Of the bridegroom or bride, and first
the young man jumped over it, and
then the young woman, Whereupon the
official would make some such remark
as, "Now you are married"
Gypsies invariably marry at an ear
~ age, and as the parents are loath
to lose their daughters, the girl fire.

there is no marriage ceremony. Only

go into a church to be married, said
one of the Hearnes.
incidentally he mentioned that Ger
man gypsies like to have their chill
dren baptized as often as possible, and
the practice Of successive baptism is
not unknown in England.
In both England and Germany the
food of a gypsy must en- no account
be touched by a woman's dress. On
one occasion, said Mr.. Thompson, he
was having tea with family when a
boy Of 16 hurled back piece of bread
at his mother because she had allowed
it to touch her dress while she was
cutting it. She remarked he was right
not to eat it and she gave it to the
dog.
The gypsy held very strong views
On the value of chastity. As recently
as 1875 an old Suffolk gypsy said the
ancient punishment for immortality
was burial alive, and he described
certain spot where, as a boy, he saw a

The corpse Of a gypsy is usually car
ried to the grave by the mourners
themselves, and the day after the fu-
neral everything which had belonged
to the dead, except money, is Destroy
ed. Three vans had been burned dur
ing the last year. The harness and
everything was placed in the van,
soaked with parafIin and set on fire,
and the ashes and the parts that could
not be burned were buried, or, prefer
ably, thrown into a river or the sea-
Crockery was broken and the frag-
ments dropped from ferry into the
Mersey; in another case the unburn-
ed portions of gypsy's belongings
were carried miles in order to be
dropped into the Tyne. Only three
months ago, on the death of baby
few months old, the family burned
practically a new wagon which had
cost $50.
The custom of destroying everything
was due to the gypsies' fear that un'
less this were done the ghost Of the
dead person would return and haunt
It.

Wants Clear Conscience.

New York-That he might plead
guilty to theft in 1908 and die with
a clear conscience, Daniel Loewy was
carried Oh stretcher into general
session the other day before Judge
Grain. Abraham Levy, his counsel,
told the story OF the robbery by Loewy
of ten sable skins from his employer
the skins being valued at $1,75O.
Judge Grain then suspended sentence.
Loewy is declared by physicians to
be slowly dying.
He went to San Francisco IN Febru-
ary 1910. and while in the new West
ern hotel there was held up, shot ana
robbed by three unidentified men,
who escaped. They took all the d'aT
monds Loewy had.

Dickie house, connected with which is
the pleasing tradition that every presi-
dent Of the United States has taken
dinner beneath its roof tree. President
Taft alone excepted. The old habita-
ton, long famous for its fish and
chicken dinners, is the only dwelling
left of the departed City of Matildas-
vile, that was called into being by
the construction of the Potomac Com
pany Canal, Of which George Wash
ington. after relinquishing his CON-
mand at the close OF the revolution,
was promoter and president.
Generations ago the canal was aban-
doned and Matildasville vanished from
the map. The old Diekie house alone
remains. George Washington often
ate beneath its roof. When the Brit
ish captured Washington in 1914 Pres
ident Madison and his cabinet, it is

one are said by the descendants Of
the original owner Of the house to
have sat at the table in the little din

to have partaken of fish and chicken
cooked in style that has made the
Dicllie family famous for its culinary
accomplishments. SoEe are skeptica1
enough to question this claim, but 1t is
put forth with such stress that most
visitors depart strong in the faith
that they have eaten {. meal in room
that has been honored by the presence
of all the presidents but one. AS yet
President Taft has not sat in judg-
ment upon meal at Dickie's, and the !
absorbing ambition of the proprietor
of the house is to make the list COM

Since the completion of the trolley |
line to the Great Falls of the Potomac
this beautiful work Of nature has at
tracted great interest among excur-
sionists. The trip to the falls is one
of the most popular in the vicinity of
the national capital. Last year, 170,-
900 excursionists visited the falls. In
addition, thousands of other sightseers
made the trip by automobile or car
riage on the Maryland side. This
route is far more beautiful than the
one on the Virginia side, for the road
winds along the river and the Chesa-

When The Show Comes To Town

Amusement seekers and show goers
OF Yale will have the treat of their lives
on July rs when the famous Sun Broth
ers Worlds Progressive Shows appear
here. Nothing better has ever been
seen in this section.
Every dream of boyhOod day will be
realized. The peanuts, the caramels,
pink lemonade, the clowns and the
smell of the fresh shavings, the whole
good atmosphere of the tented show

show this season is entirely new, novel
and of an ultra meritorious character.
A noteworthy engagement this year is
the positive appearance at each per-
Torrance of the famous Electrique De
Ramos, quintette of high air equita-
ton artists. Did you ever see Whirl.

counted by the Electrique De Ramos.
They float though the air like winged
seraphs, and whirl through the empy.
rean like whirling dervishes, and all
that sustains them is wires gripped in
their teeth. 1t is indeed one of the
most amazing and superbly ornate dir
~ height performances ever conceived.
Nearly one hundred performers take
part in the big programme and are all
artists of extraordinary ability. In the
wild beast department will be seen
many unique, strange and distinctively
novel specimens of the animal kingdom
and geologic creation, and all are ex-
hibited in classified manner and ex
planned by competent keepers and lee.
