Two shy little gypsy girls, arrayed
in gorgeous colors and wearing neck
lhces, bracelets and armlets OF gold
coins estimated to be worth from
$1,000 to $500 each, are the centre of
attraction to-day at the large gypsy
encarnpment three miles out of Tuck
ahoe, N. Y. For this Is the day when
with pomp unknown outside
Romany circles they are to become
engaged to two little boys OF the
camp.
The engagement ceremony was TO
have taken place this morning, but
what with having danced all night
as a preliminary warming up for the
big event, the $50 gypsies in the
thirty tents forming a semi-circle in
a clearing in a picturesque wood set
ting, were so tired that they disre-
garded the sun, acting as an alarm
clock, and turned over to take an
other snooze. So the ceremony was
postponed until this afternoon. Not
"a few of the children scampered
about the camp without so much as
one-piece garment. These, 1t was
limited, may go so far as to have
their faces washed in festive prepa-
ration as guests.
The Costello family Is very much

ATHLETIC EVENTS ENTERTAIN

The crowd began gathering in the
early morning. Business both here
and at Amory was suspended. The
open space around the Jail was filled
a. never before. And In order that
time should not hang too heavily on
the hands OF the crowd the Tupelo
Athletic Club provided impromptu
entertainment. There were several
good wrestling matches and some
boxing exhibitions.
At I o'clock In the afternoon. when
everybody had finished eating and
the remnants had been slowed away

Many among the spectators had

was a legal execution, and especially
interesting because OF the crime.
Marshall murdered four members

made q feto OF it-probably the

fact that thousands witnessed this
one does not mean that the law was
violated. 1t was obeyed to the letter
Ito the letter only. =
When he scnffold had been erected
IN the jail yard tho Sheriff ordered
q fence built around 1t. The fence
was five feet high-high enough TO
make a claim OF privacy" but not
high enough to interfere with the
spectacle. for In order to hang a man
Il is necessary to get him up in the

obstacle at all 20 those In the wagons
and buggies, who could stand up and
look over. SO the private" hanging
was seen by everybody, and nobody
thinks It hurt the prospect OF the
sherifrs reelection when his term
expires.

THE FOURTEENTH CENSUS
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
When King David took the first
census on record the hatred and sus-
picion aroused by it were witnessed
by the belief that "the Almighty pun
ished the whole people for the i'm
piety."
In I712, when Governor Hunter,
of New York, attempted to take a
census; the same. biblical prejudice
handed down from the time of
David, compelled him to leave it un-
finished. A few years later when the
New Jersey government wished to
take census of that state, it did
not dare begin.
However, the provisions of the
federal constitution made a census
necessary, and soon censuses became
a part of the ordinary machinery of
! the federal government. The first
census of the United States, in 1890,
was taken by marshals of the judi
eial districts, sixteen in all, without
any fixed form or schedule of emu
meration, each marshal acting as he
! pleased. This first census cost $44,-
377, and, as might be expected, was
very inaccurate and unsatisfactory.
The second census, in 1900, in
trusted to the state department, cost
S66,109 and was equally unsatis-
factory.
The third census, in 1910, some
what improved in methods and sat
isfactory in results, enlarged the
field in inquiry for the first time to
include the industrial and manu-
featuring condition of the country.
The fourth census, in 1920, first
separated the white from the colored
population, the natives from the for
eign born.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS ..
MEETS IN PARIS

Paris, Jan. IT, Representatives
of France, Great Britain, Italy,
Greece, Belgium, Spain, Japan, and
Brazil, members of the council Of
the league of nations, met in the
o'clock Room" of the French foreign
office at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing for the first meeting of the lea
que.
The league organized at 1890 o.
clock by electing Leon Bourgeois
chairman and confirming the choice
of Sir Eric Drummond, Of Great
Britain, as general secretary.
The first official act of the council
was the appointment of commission
to trace upon the spot the frontiers
of the territory of the Sarre Basin.
All the members Of the council
called for by the covenant of the
league, with the exception of the
representatives of the United States,
were present, when N. Bourgeois
called the meeting to order. Besides
NJ. Bourgeois, the members were
Earl Curzon, the British foreign Sec
retary; Premier Venizelos, for
Greece; Carlo Ferrais, Italian minis
ter of industry, commerce, labor and
food, for Italy; Paul Hymans, the
Belgian foreign minister, for Belgi-
UNI; Baron Matsui, ambassador to
France, for Japan; Dr.. Gastoa da
! Cunha, ambassador to France, for
Brazil; Count Quinones de Leon,
ambassador to France, for Spain.
Premier Lloyd George; of Great
Britain, and Viscount Grey were at
the meeting at an early stage. Mr..
Lloyd George soon retired, however,
Viscount Grey remaining, He was
melted to a front seat

In the census of 1880 the indus
trial features were dropped entirely
and the field of inquiry narrowed.
The census of 1910 opened new
era in this government activity. Fol
the first time health and educa.
tional statistics were gathered- Then
was made the first systematic effort
to gather valuable statistics on a
large scale. However, the statistics
were so inaccurate as to cause a
public scandal. Furthermore, the ex-
penditures-$833,3 ,37O-caused wide
spread criticism.
Not until, the census of 1850 was a
census board created to prepare suit
able and uniform questions. Enum-
orators were appointed and super
intendent of census elected. The re-
suit justified the venture and the ex-
penditure, which amounted to ST.
423,350. From that year the federal
census has been an invaluable ad-
junct to the machinery and the as
sets of the United States.
The INCREASE inthe cost of gather
ing the census-from $4,000 in IT.
90 to s12,OOO,O00 in 1910 and prob
ably larger amount in 1920-in-
dicates the growth of population and
the ever widening field of inquiry.
The population in 1890 was found
to be 3,s29,214.
In 1910 it was found to be o.
402,151, which work began on Janu-
ary 2, is expected to show a popula-
tion of from 1O7,OOO,OOO to 112,-
100000. Also it is expected that the
census will show the wealth and re-
sources of the United States far in
excess fthose of any other nation.
