Official intelligence has been re-
celvcd AT Washington from China that
the famine which has prevailed In the
coastal country north OF Shanghai.
caused by floods Is os far re-
lleved that further contributions are
unnecessary. The district thus affect
ed embraces a population OF nearly
twenty millions. and tor many months
the suffering was extreme owing
20 the destruction OF the crops But
relief was sent from all parts Of the
civilized world. and this. with the
aid given by the Chinese government
and voluntary home contributions
have tided the afflicted population
over the great calamity. The famine
has at last been broken by the ripen-
ing OF the new crops The people OF
the United States sent over 100000,
besides large quantity Of seed wheat
and flour. The sympathy thus mani
Tested has been gratefully received by
the Chinese. ard they no longer look
upon Americans with hostility. Iudica
lions are that the trade relations be-
tween the two countries viii now be
resumed on a very friendly basis.

This is a queer name for the last day of SCHOOL,
Perhaps it means that the graduates begin real
life that day Perhaps the New School year begins
with a vacation.
Anyway Commencement time is a very happy and

mencement, and they come home rested refreshed,
and full of new ideas. They work better all the

a FIRE Mist and Planet.
A fire mist and a planet,
A crystal and a cell;
A iellyfish and a saurian,
And caves where the cavemen dwell:
Then sense of law and beauty,
And a face turned from the clod-
Some call it Evolution
And others call it God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite tender sky;
The ripe, rich tints of the cornfelds.
And the wild geese sailing high:
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the golden rod
Some Of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
Like the tide on a crescent sea beach.
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging i'm
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod-
Some Of us call it Longing,
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty,
a mother starved for her brood.
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the rood;
The million who, humble and name
less,
The straight, hard pathway tred-
Some call it Conservation,
And others call it God.

COLD WATER ON TAFT
 CONVENTION PLAN
DELEGATES GAN NOT BE sELEoT- ED UNTIL AFTER THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE, sAYs SECRETARY DOVER.

Washington, May 2e.-(speclal. )-Elmer Dover, the secretary of the republican national committee, has thrown cold wa ter on the scheme of the Taft managers to hold convention this year for the purpose of naming delegates to the na- tional convention. Dover thinks that dele gates can't be selected for a convention until after the meeting of the national committee in December, when the time and place for the national convention is agreed upon. ohio politicians, there- fore, do not believe convention will be insisted upon by the Taft forces this summer. But there Is another and an im- portalt consideration said an Ohio man today.
 "A convention this summer would im- mediatelN disclose to the country the extent of the friction in Ohio politics, and the fact that there Is dangerous factional feeling, which might initiate against Secretary Tafts prospects in other states, where support is sought. Politicians would immediately point to the "Kllkenny fair conditions prevail iag in Ohio, as shown by the wrangling in convention.
 Ohio politics will drag along for awhile without further incident, it is thought. Secretary Tafts friends say there is no doubt of his receiving the endorsement of the state for the presidency and Sem ator Foraker's and Senator Dicks friends will busy themselves with looking out for the senatorial prospects of the two senators while efforts at harmony will be continued.

 Are Married.

Prattville, May 29.-(Special )-The ex- ercises of the academy and city graded school were finished yesterday in the presence of a large audience of patrons and friends of the two schools. Dr. Mccarthy of Troy delivered the address for the occasion instead of Professor Wright, as was expected. The latter could not be present pr. McCarthys address was entertaining to all who heard him.
 The joint meeting of the board of trustees of the academy and Prattville graded schools yesterday afternoon re- suited in doing nothing toward settling the discordant factions in that body They spent two hours in deliberating on the school situation in this town and adjourned to meet again next Saturday, when they will settle matters and elect teachers for the next scholastic year.
 As has been noted in these columns be- fore, the trustees of the two schools are not in harmony with each other on electing a principal. A majority of the joint board of trustees do not favor the same principal as a majority of the board of city schools and the city council.
 Douglas Booth and Miss Mamie Wier. both of this place, were quietly married at the home of the bride on Wetumpka street in the presence of the immediate families Dr. Mccarthy of Troy, former teacher of the bride, administered the solemn rites that united the happy hearts.

 varieties of the olive will grow in this country, though 1t chooses only the southern and middle California valleys, and parts of Mexico and Arizona, for it's habitat. It requires great care the first few years of it's life but after that gets on with only moderate attention and yields about s250 worth of oil to the acre.
 The duty on lemons is about s5 cents a pox, but as the cost of picking in this country is from 125 to $2 a day, and in Sicily from cents to 45 cents, the American product enters the market on aobut equal terms wdth the Foreign. California, Americas lemon district, be- gan sending out the fruit in noticeable quantities in 1902, shipping east about 2OOO carloads that year. Her effect on the market had been felt somewhat before. for in 1892 the value of imported lemons was s4,54S, ,263. and in ten years it dropped to $3,000,0 GOO Much of California's profit from her lemon industry comes through her py-products, such as lemon oils and extracts.
 The citron and lime have found home in California and Florida, and pay well for their raising. The date palm from Egypt has also found a comfortable foot ing on the sand-hills of California and the southwest, while the grape has fol- lowed fast on the heels of the settler over nearly the whole country. ne grape fruit has chosen all Southern Florida and a small part of Louisiana as permanent abiding places. The accidental discovery of a grape fruit tree In an orange or chard in California proved It's affinity for the soil and climate of that region also. Pizarro and his hardy Spanish ex- plorers, on their way to Peru, tasted oi the pineapple and found it good. Roy aty alone had been able to eat of it before, 1t having only been cultivated in Holland and England to a small extent as early as the seventeenth century. The opening of trade with South America made it's use more general, and 1t was finally introduced into Florida in 1860. where 1t has been remunerative and productive outdoor plant ever since.
 The banana was first introduced into the United States by German waiter on steamer plying between Panama and New York. His name was Charles Frank and he brought over several punches which he sold for fabulous sum. Later he engaged In the banana culture in Central America, and the trade he founded about forty years ago has grown into one of the largest in the world. While the banana plant is adapt able to small sections of Florida. 1t can never be cultivated there for profit But experiments with the mango. the mango steen. the guava and the plumquot have proved all these finely adapted to the conditions there. and possible sources of satisfactory revenue. The department of agriculture has been untiring in its eff forts to discover the fruits. vegetables and grains that can safely be adopted by an ambitious country, and through It's efforts the sub-tropical regions especially will enjoy rapid development in the next decade

 MT. Gould has no wish to air his per sonal affairs in the newspapers. He Is willing to live apart from his wife and meant to have the case conducted in legal and dignified manner. MT. Gould is willing to make sufficient allowance to his wife"
 The Gould case has been dropped by the police. according to statement made to- day. The fact that Mrs Gould has conn plained that her mail has been tempered with is causing more or less comment Mir Shearn called on United States Dis trict Attorney Stinson today and spent an hour with him.
