INDIANAPoLIs, Indiana. May IL
Favorable weather with warmer days
aud cool nights prevailed. and all
growing crops advanced well and are
IN best promising condition. Heavy
rains in localities of the central and
southern portion interrupted planting
corn. but nevertheless planting pro
crossed, and in most localities plant
ing is nearly ended; the early planted
corn is coming up nicely, but slow, as
the ground is still too cool.
Wheat, rye and barley are in most
excellent condition; rye is heading
out; wheat begins to head In fields IN the
southern portions and barley is IN
bloom. Clover and timothy are grow
ing nicely and medows and pasturage
are in most excellent condition. To-
bacco pants are growing fairly well;
oats look we'll in most fields. Gardens
impr owed much and some yield young
early vegetables. Much sorghum has
been planted in Perry county; melons
have been planted; sugar beets made
rapid progress is Tippecanoe county.
Potatoes are coming up well and are
a good stand, but potato bugs made
their appearance in some counties. A
large crop of tomatoes is being plant
ed. Trees and small fruit promise a
good crop. even apple trees i'll locali-
ties of the northern portion are full of
bloom; peaches. plums, cherries and
pears have shed their bloom and the
fruit sits we'll. Sheep shealing pro-
crosses on many farms, and live stock
is healthy and growing fat on excel
lent pasturage.

A notable meeting of prominent
Irishmen was held in New York las t
Sunday night to consider the question
of attending the '9S centennial cere-
monies in Ireland. Bourke Cochran
presented resolutions setting forth that
in view of the existing war it was the
duty of every American citizen to re-
main at the disposal of the government
while there might be need for his
services. and resembling the resolution
previously adopted providing for a
delegation of Irish Americans to attend
the '9S cents nnial ceremonies in Ire
land. The resolutions said in con-
clusion,
Resolved, That we commend to the
special support of Irish Americans the
determination of this country to assert.
with all the power of its land and naval
forces, the principle that government
which blights prosperity, retards IN
dustry and destroys population is a
menace to civilization everywhere,
which all the forces os civilization
should combine to overthrow.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. thus doing away with the as
sociation's plans to make the pilgrim
age to Ireland. All of the arrange
ments had been made for the pilgrim
age, and over 10000 Irish Americans
had declared their intentions of going
on the big excursion. Several thous-
and books and pamphlets had been
printed by the committee. and eonsid-
cradle money was spent IN making the
arrangements.
If all classes of American citizens
who had contemplated visiting the old
world this year will take as patriotic a
course as these Irishmen have taken,
Europe will be Taught to appreciate
the pecuniary value of this country's
good will.

went up town about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon, and while chatting with
some friends on a corner was approach
ed by boy, who said there were two
couples at his boarding house waiting
to see him. Mr.. Graves went to the
house and found the two couples sitting
in the front room. He talked for few
moments and then asked:
We'll. did you wish to see me on
any particular businsss?''
One of the young men spoke up and
said that he and the young lady at his
side wanted to get married.
WELL" said Mr. Graves, THAT is a
coed. s"
How long will it take?" asked the
young man.
"Oh, but few minutesr'
will we get through in time e go
e tn circus:''
"Oh. yes, you have plenty of time. :"
Thus assured, the young couple took
the floor. just as Mr.. Graves raised his
hands to pronounce the beuediction a
band struck up a tune on the outside.
The half married couple broke and ran
for the window, leaving she astonished

Say, we amt got time, have we?"
