In the fifteenth century coming from
the east they invaded Europe, landing
at Luneburg, and passing on scattered
over Hamburg aud other German terri
tory. The year lil7 marks an era In
Gypsy history, but even prior TO that
there are traces OF them in Crete in
1922 and at Constautinople in 1850
Then, ms now, they were fortune telers
and rogues. The best theory con-
structed from eXoteric knowledge is
that they are the descendants of
llagar's child. Ishmael. and In ll22
this view was taken by an Austrian
monk. Philologlsts have devoted much
study and more argument to their lam
suage, but without definite results. 1t
has probably alone been conceded that
II was pure Aryan at It's early stage.
1t need hardly be said that Samilia,
the No A Gypsy Queen, set up her
court near the Midway last year and

A VOICE FROM THE PAST.
TT COMES UP IN A QUESTION TO THE

The Question Was Regarding some
Land Secured by Confederate
scrip. and is the only Case of
the Kind ON Record.


Special Dispatch.
Austin. Tex, June 22.-The commits
sloner Of the general land office has
propounded an interesting question to
the attorney-general. Briefly the facts
OF the case are these:
Some years ago Mr.. 7. ]. Smith of
Newton county, located two surveys
by virtue Of Confederate Scrip. These
surveys were not contiguous and when
the supreme court rendered the famous
Won Rosenberg Cuellor decision. Mr.
smith became uneasy and corrected
his field notes so as to give half of
each survey to the state and half to
himself. The bill in the Twenty-third
legislature providing that this might
be done in all cases where land was
located by virtue OF Confederate scrip
ON surveys not contiguous passed both
houses but was vetoed by the governor
and In view OF this, Commissioner Nc
Guaghey refused patents when Mr..
Smith requested them on his locations
under the amended field notes,
MIR. Smith then filed a petition for
mandamus in the supreme court to

afternoon.
Preparations for the celebration of

At o'clock every whistle in the
city began blowing. blending in beau
tlful unison. They kept this up for sew
eral minutes and when they stopped
the bells throughout the city chimed
forth the glad tidings.
These outbursts OF enthusiasm on
the part OF the city caused every

rush out in the street and shake hands
with themselves and give few Wig

But Yet the PopuIist~ Think Lots of
Attorney Nugent.

Special Dispatch.
Waco. Tex. June 22.-If there is one
class or profession for which the Popu-
lists have no use. 1t is for the lawyers.
Nearly every speaker at one time or
another proceeded to 'roast" them.
Satisfaction was apparent everywhere
hit against the members of the legal
profession was scored. 1t appeared
somewhat odd to note the applause
for Nugent. who In his speech this
morning. among other things. said that
he was compelled to go home at once,
prepare briefs and get ready to deteat
the claims In court OF some litigants.
The Populists are wont to refer with
approval to Nugents legal learning,
ability and experience. In the next
breath they are hammerlng at the
members of the legal profession as the
greatest enemies of society.
This convention has presented per-
hans as well as any that the party
has ever held the Heterogeneous COM
position of the organization. IL seems
rather odd that the diversity OF views
and opinions entertained can be gain
cred into and retained In one party
organization. II has been one of the
strongest efforts OF the leaders and
lecturers anu EIteAhNAS 'as'AAF
mast two years to impress successfully
unon the members the necessity or
etanding by the organization and sink
ING ali perscnality in what is stated
to b. the common good. The diversity
of opinions regarding social and econo-
mic questions was strikingly repre-
sented constantly In the expressions
and speeches. Upon one hand there
was the Simon Pure Socialist, urging
4 of the Maternal
powers of the government. Next 10
him was the delegate who carried the
decentrailz' tlon idea to the point that
is pupu 'v called anarchy. While the
delega, who might be accused or
these tendencies would undoubtedly
quickly resent such charges they are
in fact what they deny In words.
Seine Of the doctrines and ideas of the
delegates would have brought forth
cheers from those who want the CIV
rrm,nt to be gtnrd free-for-all feed
box and John Most would have stroked
his beard and felt that he had not
lived In vain " he were present. II
Is not intended to say tfat pronounced
speeches We're made on any OF these
lines, but rather that remarks coming
out evidently as a rule clearly demon
strated the bent of the minds in the
convention.
with the exception of the speeches
in behalf OF the free coinage Of silver,
there was no speaker who advanced
or attt mptod to offer n plan of putting
into practical working any of the de-
mands Of the party. Simile and an
alogy were the figures employed I'm
every speech. This method Of making
an argument or plea is catchy and
effective with many, 1t brings ont
pith and point and the question OF
Applicability and the scunduess OF the
argument is of no consequences.

tain state and that II would prove the
most successful undertaking of such a
nature yet attempted IN the South. He
declared that "out here on these
grounds. when the soft and mellow ana
hazy Indian summer comes before the
ides OF November, King Cotton Will be
crowned with the proudest laurel that
has ever been placed ON his regal
brow. Ladies and gentlemen. Grover
Cleveland, president OF the United
States, win place that laurel on King
Cotton's brow IN the magnificent PAL
ace that will here be completed
This was greeted by cheering for
five minutes.
Professor Robnette Of Brentwood,
George W. Tyler OF Bolton and James
/. Moore also spoke.
II Is estimated that the crowd In the
park numbered 10000 people.
The cornerstone, the placing of

of loyalty championing Populisn

thusiasm and the course of silver are
alike In that they have both gone down.
He was warmly urged by the labor
delegates. and seemed to be their spe-
cial demand from the convention as far
as a place on the ticket was concerned.
The horny-handed tollers in the fields
were too strong, however, for the Or
ganized labor element. and as they
stood largely by Granbury they finally
forced Bilrs withdrawal. The defeat
of Farmer has underneath the surface
left considerable feeling.

and the decision made week or two
ago held substantially that the loca-
tons as made under the amended field
notes were good but the mandamus
was not issued because after making
the divisions Of the surveys. Mr.. Smith
chose the two he desired instead of
allowing the commissioner to choose as
the law contemplated should be done.

sold tine timber on the survey originally

Mr smith, Will the state have to re-
imburse him for the timber, or will It
be question between him and Call &.
Co, and II So win the state have 10
give back the $500. or can the state
elect to choose both halves OF one sur
Vey and then keep the $500 and ubvIate
all trouble. The question prOpounded
under these facts is:
Where two original Confederate
scrip locations, which did not adioIn
one another, have been subdlvided into
four equal surveys by corrected field
notes filed In this office. has the com
missioner of the general land office
legal authority TO select and designate
any two Of said four subdivisions as
school surveys"
The. particular case in point Ia where
the timber on an original 1850 acres
location IN Newton county has been
sold by the state. II Is therefore IN
the Interest Of the school that the two
subdivisions embraced within The
bounds Of said original location be
designated as the two alternate school
surveys. An examination OF the rec.
ords of this office shows that the case
now under consideration is the only one
consideration. '''

money is needed in order to carry on
