China Issues a Neutrality Proclamation.
No News From Manila.

Washington. May 3.-The proclama-
ton directed against the Spanish resi-
dents of the United States by the state
department has not yet been issued nor
is 1t certain that it will be issued, prob
ably depending upon the course pur-
sued by the Spanish government i'm
their treatment of American citizens by
Spain.
China issued her neutrality proclama-
tion to-day, so there is no place on
the Asiatic coast left open to the free
use of the war vessels OF either Spain
or the United States. This is rather
remarkable. in that IL marks the first
action of this kind upon the part of
China, which has never before issued "A
neutrality proclamation. and the naval
officers are duly grateful for the con-
s.deration shown by the Chinese govern
ment in Withholding the issue OF the
decree until informed that the Ameri-
cans had secured base in the Philip
pine islands.
The army bought a hospital ship to-
day for the benefit of the troops going
to Cuba. Commissary General Nash
was retired to-day, making the fourth
commissary general to be retired within
as many months.
Reports received by the navy depart
ment from the Miantonomah show that

to Key West from League Island. Her
decks were swept and frequent delays
were caused by the disarrangement of
some Of the ships structure. Through
out IL all, however. the propelling ma
chinery worked splendidly.
Washington will be soon gay with
uniforms as a result of an order to-day
requiring all officers to wear the uni
forms of their proper grades.
Concerning the appointments OF brig
adler generals IL is said to be the pur-
pose of the president. so far as possible.
to take the candidates from the ranks
OF colonels in the regular army. This
will disappoint some Of the candidates
for the important commands. The ex-
ceptions. II any are made, will be in
favor of those states which furnish one
or more brigades of troops. In such
cases Ii is believed, the president will
appoint as brigadier generals officers

Some Big Potatoes

Charles Craig, one Of Ocala s
respected cOlOred citizens and tax
PAYERS, who owns the large fertile
garden lot enclosed by a high
woven wire fence on South Mag
nolIa street, has for a number Of
years raised very fine crops on it.
His favOrlte crop is Irish pota-
toes, a patch of which he plants
every year in a loose, well ma
nured bed, covered highly with
soil and then hedded IN straw
This finishes the cultivation and
the yield aSJoniSheS the gardner,
used to the old method. Craig
was digging his crop yesterday
and every one passing stopped to
admire the yield. which was both
numerous and large. Eleven Of
the largest potatoes weighed fit
teen pounds. Craig raises vari-
Gus crops during the year on
his lot and more than he and his
large family can consume, leaving
u surplus to sell. He says, which,
is true, that the trouble with the
average Florida farmer or trucker
is that he tries to cultivate too

DfsicuIt to lnnict Pain.

The doctor smoked slowly on his
cigar. It was plain that he had some
thing to say.
Il was thinking Of my early college
days" he said, ''ynh Of n peculiar in
cident that happened very o after l
began my studies. The professor was
in%structing the class one day ON the
corpuscles of the blood. III order to get
some fresh blood for microsccpical eX-
animation each student was ordered to
tie a rag around his forcfingcr and strike
the top of the fingec suddenly with a
needle with sufficient force to draw
blood. Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you
know there wasn't n man in the class
that did it at the first attempt. 1t was
funny to watch some of those embryo
surgeons poise tho needle with a deter
mined air and launch it to within Il
hair space of the flesh and there stop
dead. Others tried to force the needle
in slowly, but paused very shortly,
with an expression of pain common
surate to that of al amputatiun. my
self gave it up rs a bad job. and hacked
a cavity in my thumb with Il penknifc,
and found it easier.

and inexperienced is no explanation for
this peculiarly, as | have since found
by personal test. Almost everybody cX-
hibited the same repugnanco to intliCt-

A WOMAN'S COMPLAINT.

know that deep within your heart
You hold me shrined apart from common
things
And that my step, my voice, can bring to you
A gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet, dear lore, throughout the weary days
You never speak one word of tenderness
Nor stroke my hair nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own in loving, mute caress.
You think perhaps l should be all content
To know SO well the loving place l hold
Within your life, and yet you do not dream
How much l long to hear the story told.
You cannot tnov', when VIC two sit clone
And tranquil thoughts within your mini are
stirred,
Ny heart is crying like n tired child
For one fond look, one gentle. loving word.
IT'S not the boundless waters ocean holds
That give re~frcshmcnt to the thirsty flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the skies,
From thence descend in softly falling show
ers.
What matter that our granaries are filled
With all the richest harvest's golden stores
If We who own them cannot enter in,
But, furnished, stand below the close barred
doors2
And SO it's said that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our earthly lot
Go praying with white lips from day to day
For loves sweet tokens and receive them not.

Spirit recalls the fact that it was at the
Girard House, Philadelphia, hat Judge
Black first uttered the story which has
since wended its way in and out of the
highways and byways, near and remote,
about Democrats and whisky. 1t was on
a Philadelphia hot night. The air was
still and sitting. A friend of the judge
walked up to him mopping his brow
and expressed his surprise that the
judge was not at Cape May shifting salt
breezes. The judge assured his visitor
that such weather was of i~ncalculable
benefit to humanity.
"Why?'

weather we wouldn't have corn; if We
