Report regarding my action
in making a call for a Populist
convention next Saturday.
The editor aforesaid says
the Populists should ignore
this call as it is in the interest
ofring rule. Now, | would like
to know what ring he refers
to. would also like to ask
him if he is not working in the
interest of the republican ring?
If not, what does he mean by
the articles he has published
during the last three months
bearing on a fusion of the pop
ulist and republican parties?
AS to the legality of the
call | will say it is perfectly
legal, as it does not purport to
be a call of the county central
committee; and furthermore
the legality of the county con
vention that elected delegate:
to Moscow can be, and is
questioned very seriously.
do not deny being a com
parative stranger, but the mer
whom | consulted before max
ing the call are pioneers in thu
populist ranks in Idaho county
men whose integrity to thu
cause cannot be questioned
and who are not populists from
mercenary motives; which i
more than can truthfully b
said of Mr.. Wolbert.
| do not care to enter int
any controversy on this SUI
ject, but would simply refe
the populists of Idaho count
to the standing of MIR. Wolber
in his own community wher
HE is not a ~"comparitiv
stranger" w. T. FoGLE.

MISS WATTS. OF NEW yoRk.

From He's Descended . Marquis oA4
Earl of GREAT Britain.
People talk of international mar
riages a. if they were an invention Of
recent years, and are oblivious to the
fact that British peer. have shown their
good sense by marrying American girls
Tor over a couple of centuries, and there
IL q large amount of American blood in
the British house of lords.
Everyone going up and down lower
Broadway notices the statue Of John
Watts in Trinity churchyard. It was
erected by his descendant, Gen. De
Pcyster. who has a prediction for that
sort Of thing. Now, old John Watts,
besides being the ~progenitor of Gen. De
Peyster, was the progenitor of the pres
emit marquis of Ailsa and earl of Cas-
stills before Mary Queen of Scots mar
ried the dauphin of France, and there
were Barons Kennedy before Columbus
discovered America. On that wild coast
which looks out on the Scottish islands,
where Ailsa lifts her head above the
foam, the Kcnnedys have always
reigned, and Capt. Kennedy, of the
royal navy, married a Miss Schuyler,
of New York, who is put down in the
records of the College of Heralds as
coming from New Jersey. For his Sec
ond wife he married a Miss Watts, of
New York, and from that union sprang
the second marquis of Ailsa and earl
Of CassillA. The man who married Miss
Schuyler came to his earldom and his
estates on the death Of his brother. after
a contest between the earl of March and
Ruglen about the succession, which wal
decided in favor Of the captains brother
It was the same sort of a contest
which was waged by Rev. Bryan Fair
fax and by Lord Stirling. withthe po'
tent exception that two of the Ameri
can claimants were successful, and the
third, Lord Stirling, was not. The fac,
that William Alexander fought bravely
in the cause of the colonies may have
had something to do with his lack o.
success before the house Of lords. How
ever. the American blood in the earl O,
Qassillis advanced him to a marquisate
and Gen. De Peyster has erected a mon
ument to old John Watts. One Of tn,
earl's sons married the daughter Of Gen
Alexander Macomb, Of the United State,

THE PEANUT ROASTER.
An Invention That Is Used Every
where and Thousands Of Them
Are Sold Annually.

The peanut roasters of black iron,
such as are commonly seen in the city
streets, are likely to have capacity of
70 quarts. Such roaSters are sold in
sizes ranging from ten to twenty-eight
quarts. Peanut roasters are made to
hold three bushels, which makes a
rooster as big as d barrel. Such a pea
nut rooster would be set up at a public
resort at the seashore, or perhaps at
fairs, says the New York Sun.
There are combined peanut roasters
and warmers made in various sizes, the
warmer having glass sides and q hot
water reservoir below. Separate pea
nut warmers are made of various ma-
terials or combinations of materials,
including TIM iron, steel and copper,
and they are made in a variety Of shapes
and sizes, and equipped for heating by
charcoal or oil.
There is an automatic rooster of
which the cylinder is turned by a small
steam engine attached to the crank.
which serves to attract attention, and
is ottenest seen at the seashore and
other places of resort. The most elab-
crate and costly peanut outfit is the
peanut wagon, which is equipped wit
rooster and warmer and is drawn by
a horse. ...
Ihere are more peanut roasters sold
now than ever. Indeed, thousands are
sold annually. They are used all over
the country, and in other countries.
too' Tor people eat peanuts pretty much
everywhere nowadays.

IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
The story OF a Lost Child Whofwas
Found Recently by Smoking
Out the Sprltes.

In u village in the west Of Ireland n
few weeks ago IL child, wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its unx-
ious parents. alter a weary and lnavail-
ing search. reported the matter 10 the
constable in Charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
ried off by the fairies, according to
their well-known custom. The consta-
bic told them to make fire and burn
in it as much Of d certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Then.
according to his instructions, they went
again III search OF hechi!d. He had de-
clared that the smoke Of che burning
herb would force the fairies o bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
going over the ground they had previ-
ously searched, they found the little
boy asleep beside stream, says the
New York Sun.
The reputation and authority Of that
constable have now increased q hun
dredfold in all the countryside, and
very few househol!ers in those parts
now have the temerity to risk offending
the good peoples" as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to cal.
the furies 1.-THE Eumenides," or we'll
wishing ones), by emitting 10 leave out
every night the traditional! bowl of milk
and the gridd!e cake for their benefit.
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, he
has had to pass q fairly stiff examina-
ton in order to be received into the
service.
