TAFT BECOMES GOVERNOR
Secretary Of War Relieves President
Palma Of Respo visibility

FdUINd " ncoRbh0ihiHI
by Associated Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 2o.-with far less
ostentation than accompanies the ac'
cession Of a new municipal adminlstra.
tion, the government Of Cuba was for
mally taken over by William H. Taft
secretary Of war Of the United States
who. in a proclamation. clothed in q
kindly and diplomatic tone, Indicative
of the policy he would pursue, declared
himself provisional governor of the
island.
Promptly at noon Governor Taft, As
sistant Secretary OF State Bacon and
Captain Mccoy, Governor Tafts aide
called officially at the palace and paid
their respects to the retiring president
ignoring President Palma's message
to congress Friday, in which he wrong
ly Interpreted the mission OF the
American medlators, Governor Taft
spoke kindly to Senior Palma, whom
he said the people of Cuba owed an
unauestiona BILE debt of gratitude.
President Palmas brief reply was de-
voted entirely to an expression of re-
lief at the opportunity of shifting the
burden Of guiding the tempestuous re-
public to the representative Of a ma
tion strong enough to enforce control
over 1t.
The fact that the government had
changed hands, from a position of alb
solute Independence to the restraint of
a temporary protector. was received
by the masses with utter Indifference.
Most of the refined and thoughtful
Cubans, while they feel a certain SEN
sitiveness over the loss of the islands
sovereignty, are inclined to believe that
the United States protectorate will be
brief
A Cuban returning to Havana today
after brief absence would not have
recognized from the general attitude of
the people that the form of government
had been altered.
Business Continues
Business continued the same, except
for the vigor exhibited by the whole
sale merchants, manufacturers and
railroads to regain their former trade
throughout the island, which has been
at a standstll since the beginning Of
the revolution six weeks ago.
Although it was known Friday that
an American provisional government
could not be avoided and despite the
fact that it became a reality today, the
last twenty-four hours have been the
quietest since the arrival of President
Roosevelt's mediators ten days ago.
Governor Taft, with true appreciation
of the sensitive of the Cuban people,
was careful in taking UP his new
duties tonight and abstained from any
act that might have been construed
by them as humliating.
His decision not to lower the nag Of
the republic was taken on his own re-
sponsibility, as Friday night he was
unable to get in communication with
President Roosevelt because of a defect
in a wireless apparatus on the vessel
on which the president was proceeding
to Provincetown, Mass.
He felt certain, however, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's friendship for Cuba
would prompt him to approve of this
act Of courtesy to the broken republic.

Tobacco IN. .S.tion.r Flower,

II the great republic must have a
flower, why not adopt the tobacco
plant (Nicotiana tabarum)? 1t Is a ma
tive of this country aud was first
found In Virginia. There is nothing
sectional or local about the plant, be-
cause today 1t is grown In most of the
states from Florida and Louisiana -
Connecticut and is now used in every
nation on the globe, civilized and bar
barian, If 1t is possible to OBTAIN it. 1t
Is not commonly known that the to-
bacco plant bears a very pretty pink
blossom, which might come into the
flower gardens but for its rank and
~disagreeable odor. The Indian cora, or
maize, is another plant indigenous to
the United States and was found in
use as food by the Indians from Vir-
Iinia TO Massachusetts. But if we
must have a flower that Is esteemed as
such without regard to any economic
considerations or utilitarian qualities,
why not adopt the laurel (Laurus lati-
folia), mountain laurel or broad leaf
laurel?-New Orleans Picayune.

WIN Chr elias. Break,.

Cut glass makers explain why it Is
that there are frequent reports Of cut
glass suddenly breaking or crumbling
on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes
and elsewhere, although the glass vas
not in use. They assert that whenever
the tone of any cut glass article
into contact with its responsive chord
the life of the glass will go with the
tone, by which it is affected, and the
glass collapses or crumbles. 1t is on
record a famous opera singer could
break cut glassware by reaching high
c In her singing. Several tests We're
made in New York and Paris. and by
her singing she broke several pieces Of
cut glassware. The tone of a violin IL
attuned so as to be in true accord with
cut glass will destroy ii.

Vegetables and Fruits.


The term vegetable has reference to
the whole or any part Of IA plant cult
waited especially with reference to use
at the table. But the use of the word
vegetable doesn't always depend upon
cooking, for celery is a vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or
cooked. One would suppose the toma-
to to be entitled to the term fruit, for
the method Of its raising resembles
that Of fruit. But it is usually called
vegetable. whether eaten raw or cook
ed, in spite Of its appearance. The
ounce is so fruitlike In appearance,
SO resembling apples, pears, etc, that
It persists in being called fruit though
eaten only when cooked. Sometimes
the vegetable Is a bud. as with cab
bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as
spinach; stems above ground, as as
paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) un-
derground, as common potatoes. or
roots. as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets
and carrots.-St. Nicholas.
