IS REMEMBERED
SUPERINTENDENT TITUS OF THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY,
SENDS HIM SPLENDID SPEcI-
MEMS OF IRISH POTATOES.

United States Marshal Thomas F.
McGourin, was the recipient yesterday
of six splendid specimens OF Irish po-
tatoes, sent to him by Supt. H ]. Titus
of the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, from ST. Paul.
There Is an interesting story con-
nected with the receipt Of those six
big potatoes and it runs something
like this:
Mr.. McGourin was en- route DO Pen
sacola from Spokane Wash, coming
via St Paul. Incidentally he stepped
into the buffet car and the first thing
that met his eye and that appealed to
him was a large Irish potato. He or
dered 1t baked, to be served with but
ter. eta
ct never enjoyed anything more than
did that potato said Mr.. McGourin
to the waiter. well, sir" came the
ready response, ct will see that you
have some sent to you in Florida"
Dismissing the incident from his
mind, Mr.. McGourin never thought
after leaving St Paul of eating any
other than the excellent potatoes that
are grown in Escambia county. Much
to his surprise ne received six that
weighed about two and one half
pounds from Supt. Titus. with an &C
cornpanying letter saying that he had
heard of the incident on the car, and
that he hoped Mr.. McGorrin would en-
poy the ones sent to him equally as
much.
Just to give Pensacola an idea of
what sort of potatoes they grow in the
northwest, and serve on the buffet cars
of the Northern Pacific railroad, will
place one or more of them on exhibit
