CAPE COD ALBINOS.
4 COLONY OF PINK EYED AND WHITE
HAIRED PEOPLE.
It In About 100 Wars Old and At One
Tiuie It Numbered About Fifty Persons.
The Story of the I'ittsleyn autl Their
Physical Pecnllaritie*.
t
Since the appearance of albino girle
in side shows and dime museums the
general public has indulged in considerable
speculation as to where the managers
of these freak aggregations procure
their frizzy haired specimens. Although
seldom met with at other places,
, there is at Cape Cod a settlement of
these pink eyed and white haired people.
For generations the Pittsley family,
known in the section as the "white
* haired Pittsleys," have been albino.
They have intermarried, and, although
clannish in the extreme, years ago took
into the family fold a man named Reynolds,
in whose .children tho peculiarity
cropped out, and added the "white
haired Reynolds" to fhe little army of
Cape Cod's human cariosities. Until
quito recently a dozen or 15 Pittsley

half as many miles of each other and
sometimes under the same roof. Bnt the
families in which there are albinos have
scattered lately and spread over the
most lonely parts of the country from
Freetown to Wareham, at the entrance
to Cape Cod.
The museum albino and the albino in
real life have little in common. The
albino at home is disappointing. His
or her hair isn't crimped to the museum
limit. It doesn't stand out a la Circassian.
In the natural Pittsley state
the albino hair is dingy, because they
don't know any better, and if they did
they urobably wouldn't adopt the modern
methods of washing hair.
The eyes of the albino in this region
prove their albinism beyond question.
They are usually described as pink, like
rabbits' eyes. They are extremely weak
and almost closed, so that it is difficult
to get a square look into the eye itself.
When the eye is opened, the lid is lifted
only for a second, and it takes a quick
look to discover that the pupil is dark
red and surrounded with a lighter red
ring, while the ball of the eye is pale
. pink and surrounded with the pinkish
rim of the eyelid. The effect would be
thoroughly pink if the eye remained at
rest. It is almost impossible to obtain
, a direct look into the eye, becanse from
the eye of the healthy albino red lights
A seem to dart, while the pupil quivers
and dilates and seems to move unceasingly
It is over a century and a half since
the appearance of the first albino was
recorded in the Pittsley tribe. Since
that time probably more than 100 have
been born bearing this name or having
mothers from this family. At one time
it is estimated that only a few less than
50 albinos were living within a radius
of 25 miles. Barnum might here have
? held an albino oongress if he had been
able to engage all of these people with
the wonderful wine red pupils. It has
always been among the legends of the
county that the great showman did recruit
his collection from this locality,
but today the proud Pittsleys deny indignantly
that Barnum ever had money
enongh to engage even one of them to
pose in public.
The origin of the family is connected
with one of the wickedest episodes
of the early history of the new world.
There is even a chance that perhaps
some Pittsley was a relative or friend
of the sweet and piuus Evangeline.
When the English deported from the
vales of .Acadia the families of French
neutrals and scattered tbem in almost
every settlement from the mouth of the
Penobscot around to Louisiana, Free*v
town, which was near the colony of
Plymouth, had not been able to send its
full quota of men to the army. So in
the distribution of the French from
Acadia 15 men, with some women and
loft in TiVoofmm Thfl
uuiiuiciU) noiw
bitterest of all was the separation and
splitting up of families. The people
were filled with dejection, and the poorest
of them apparently built some rude
lodges in the forests and took no care
how they lived. None spoke their language.
They were strangers in habits
and manners. Men had been separated
from wives and daughters, and wives
left without their husbands.
Just what the name of the French
neutral ancestor of the albino Pittsleya
may have been no research has ever revealed.
On the town records, until within
50 years, the name 1ms been Piggsley.
In many cases the name Piggsley has
been corrupted into "Hoggsley."
The first appearance of pink eyes and
white hair was in a Robert Pittsley
somewhere in the first half of the eighteenth
century. Some place it as early
as 1731. From that time down the albino
characteristics have been continually
reproduced. It is believed that
continual intermarriage has been largely
instrumental in handing down the
pink eyes and white hair. The Pittsleys
were clannish. They wouldn't mingle
with other families, much less take

themselves, but oftener one family made
a home for itself in some deserted house
or jacket house in a lonely part of the
woods or out of the way end of a township.
They rarely came to town to live.
In their ways and their love of outdoor
life those people show many of the characteristics
of the gypsy, and another
?. point which allies them to the wandering
clans is their ability to "swap"
horses, a business at which most all of
t the males are experts. They are illiterate
and account for their physical peculiarities
by the theory that one of their
ancestors had his hair turn white after a
fright and bequeathed his curious hirsute
possession to his children.?Philadelphia

J CONTRASTS OF SEWING WOMEN. I
Advantages ot tlie Factory Girl In tb? i 1
Conntrj Ovdr Her Sister In the City. |
You may Bee in any one of perhaps a ' X'
: hnndred shops in this city colorless, sad
I eyed, dingily olad women bending over ?
inewing machines amid squalid surroundings,
with no outlook save through
a window opening upon a sordid street.
I You may see in at least a score of country
villages fiO miles from any great
city a crowd of neatly clad, happy lookiug
girls and women busied with like
tasks, but amid clean and pleasant surroundings,
with glimpses of a smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toil, hasten home to gloomy tenement
lodgings and unwholesome fare.
The village girls troop from the factory
to modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant. The
New York sewing machine woman is
an insignificant unit in a great ciuumunity.
She feels daily the pressure of
her fellows that are ready to take her
place and her earnings. She hears from
embittered men and women talk of tho
rights of labor and the greed of wealth.
She knows that her earnings would not
keep some of her rich sisters in cut flowers.
Wheneyer she stirs oat of her own
dingy qnarter, it is to see at every step
evidence of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs.
The villago factory girl has hardly
heard that there is a labor problem. Her
$200 or $250 a year, earned at the sewing
machine, clothes her well, procures for
her small luxuries and helps to keep the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hither and yon when work
is slack and looks fonvard with confidence
to marriage and a home of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable. She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk br<
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks, and nine women out of ten
in the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees a
hungry or ragged person, unless it be r
an occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning of what she now ^ar
and then hears about the lives of the OD
poor in great cities. an

A Turfman's Tale.
A New Jerseyman told toe a good ]
story the other day on one of our fore- bu
most turfmen, a man whose name is thi
perhaps printed oftener than that of r
any other connected with racing in ^
America. A good many years ago this ,
turfman, who was not then deep in the
raciDg business, arrived in Jersey City ol(
with a trainlnad of mustanes from the th<
plains of Texas. He knew nothing of as
the laws of the state nor of the ordi- R?
nances of the city. He knew that he a(j
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought (
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that ho would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out well.
Fair prices were realized. Sud- ^
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded a view of our friend's
license.
"License?" he said amazed. "What .
lioense? I haven't any license of any
kind." . *
"Well, you can't sell horses in this t
city without a license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
us."
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend (a
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum of $50. Then the lawyer said:
"A license costs $250. You are under .
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give i
! me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and /?
I you are $200 ahead of the game."
It was done accordingly. The turf- _
! man and his friend met in the St. James J- C
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.

A barber's shop is sometimes a trying
place for men who dislike to hear other
