At either of the abbve mentioned places
Investors In great plank shutters can be tola
wber- the greatest bargains In barn f>i>utter>?
can be had. The Court House Is for sale, and
the wise men who have charge of thut monumental
pile which was erected by the people
and by them dedicated as a temple of justice,
have about concluded to sever these valuable
properties, so that the barn builders of the
county may have a choice to bay ornamental
plank shutters with iron bars. Daily for thirty
years these shutters have bean opened and
closed, and for the p rpose ol giving the people
occular demonstration that their faithful
and efficient officers have been earning the
money which is paid to them, and to give the
people assurance that the lax books are sale |
and that the warrants in the Sheriffs office
cannot be stolen. But the greatest and best
, purpose for which the great plank shutter*
have been used in the preservation ol ttie records
of the Supervisor's office. Without
these abutters some Inconceivable scoundrel
might steal the plan of a new bridge and then
the aforesaid reprobate might go and build a
good bridge across a poor creek.
But of the benefits, particulars and advan

* COLONY OF PINK EYED AND WHITE j
HAIRED PEOPLE. ,
tt Is About 1/50 Years Old and at One j
Time Tt Numbered About Fifty Persons.
Tho Story of the Pittsleys and Their f
physical Peculiarities. |
1
?inco the appearance of albino girls j in
side shows and dime museums (lie I
general public has indulged in cousid
srablo speculation as to where the manugcrs
of these freak aggregations pro'jure
their frizzy haired sprdiuens. Al- I
though seldom met with at other places, ]
thero is at Cape Cod a settlement of 1
these pink eyed and white haired peo- j
plo. For generations the Pittsley fam- ,
ily, known in the section as the "white .
haired Pittaleys," have been albino.
They have intermarried, and, although ]
clannish in the extreme, years ago took i
into the family fold a man named Rev- ;
uolds, in whose children the peculiarity '
cropped out, and added the "white
haired Reynolds" to the little army of
Cape Cod's human curiosities, until j
quite recently a dozen or 15 Pittslev ,
albinos might have been found -within \
half as many miles of each other and
sometimes under the samo roof. But the <
families in which there aro albinos have <
scattered lately and spread over the
most lonely parts of the country from 1
Freetown to Wareham, at the entrance '
to Capo 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 tho muse- <
urn limit It doesn't stand out a la Cir- (
cassian. In the natural Pittsley state
the albino hair is dingy, because they 1
don't know any better, and if they did '
they probably wouldn't adopt the modern
methods of washing hair. (
Tho eyes of the albino in this region ,
prove their albinism beyond question.
They are usually described as pkik' 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 tho 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 tho eye is pale
pink and surrounded with the pinkish
rim of the eyelid. The effect would be
thoroughly pink if the eye remaiued at
rest. It is almost impossible to obtain 1
a direct look into the eye, because from '
the eye of the healthy albino red lights
seem to dart, -while tho pupil quivers
and dilates and seems to move nnceasiugly.
It is over a century and a half since
the appearance of the first albino "was j
recorded in tho Pittsloy tribe. Since
that time probably more than 100 have '
been born bearing this name or having
mothers from this family. At ouo time
it is estimated that only a few less than
50 albinos were living within a radius
of 25 miles. Barnurn might hero have |
held an albino congress if ho had been ;
able to engage all of these people with
the wonderful wino red pupils. It has i
always been among the legends of the t
county that the great showman didVe:mit
his collection from this locality, '
but today the proud Pittsleys deny in- 1
iignantly that Barnum ever had money
enough to engage oven one of them to j
pose in public. (
The origin of the family is connect- (
ed -with one of the wickedest episodes t
if the enrlv historv of tho new world. I
There is even a chance that perhaps '
some Pittkley was a relative or friend
Df the sweet and pious Evangeline. 1
When the English deported from the 1
vales of Acadia the families of French *
neutrals and scattered them in almost |
avery settlement from the mouth of the
Penobscot around to Louisiana, Free- 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
children, woto left in Freetown. The
bitterest of ull was the separation and
splitting up of families. The poople '
svere filled with dejection, and the poorsst
of them anparently built some rude
lodges in the forests and took no care ,
bow they lived. None spoke their language.
They were strangers in habits
md manners. Men bad been separated i
from wives arid daughters, and wives
left without their husbands.
Just what the name of the French J
neutral ancestor of the albino Pittsleys i
may have been no research has ever re- f
vealed. On the town records, until with- j
in 50 years, the name has been Piggsley. j
Ln 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 eight- ;
aenth century. Some place it as early i
is 1731. From that time down the al- f
bino characteristics have been contin- p
aally reproduced. It is believed that ^
jontinual intermarriage has been large- j
ly instrumental in handing down the <
pink eye3 and white hair. The Pittsleys *
-i mi u? Ji.
were ciauxii&ii. ^ ?uvy wuuiuu u luiu^io
with other families, much less take .
reives from them. They clubbed by
themselves, but oftener one family made
i home for itself in some deserted house
ar jucket house in a lonely part of the
svoods or out of the way end of a township.
They rarely came to town to live,
[n their ways and their love of outdoor
life those people show many of the char- i
acteristics of the gypsy, and another
point which allies them to tho wandering
clans is their ability to "swap"
tiorses, a business at which most all of
the males are experts. They are illiterate
and account for their physical pejuliarities
by the theory that one of their
ancestors had his hair turn white after a
trignc uua uoqneumeu uis cuiiuuo uusute
possession to his children.?Philadelphia
