at the Cathedral.
ST. LOUIS, April l0.-Cardinal Satolli
pontifcated at solemn high mass
Thursday morning at the old cathedral
on Walnut street.
The venerable edifice was the scene of
the same pomp with which Wolsey that
once trod the ways OF glory and sound
ed all the depths and shoals of honor"
officiated in England's stately fanes.
and with which Richelieu, once virtual
ruler of France. played his ecclesias-
teal part in the great churches of
Paris.
The grandeur with which the
ceremony was performed was befit-
ting the official dignity of the
celebrant. 1t was stately and solemn
and yet in striking contrast with that
other church function which scarcely
one month ago formed Archb bishop Ken
rick's farewell to life of ecclesiastical
symbolism. The solemnity of March's
ceremony partook of the graves SOM
Der shadows. while the tone of April's
service smacked of the festive, modu-
lated by the princely and the ecclesias-
teal.

of the deficit in the revenues we
have not vet seen any attempt to exc
plain this discrepancy by those who in-
sist thnt more revenue is the panacea-
In another way the same thing can
be demonstrated. According to the
official statements tho fetal amount Of
cash in the treasury on April 80 last
was sss7,z4s, 35a The amount on De
cember 81 last was 1851, SIS. AT. almost
exactly the same as on April so Yet
behold the difference in the amount OF

The amount of gold certificates out
standing was nearly the same on the
two dates In other words, the gold
reserve, which is the surplus of gold in
.he treasury above the amount of gold
certificates outstanding, had fallen
S27. 9S5. 600, while the surplus of other
kinds of money above the certificates
and checks outstanding had risen $685.
1914, COO Now where is this surplus7
Examination of the tables shows that
it is in the holdings of United States
notes or green backs in the treasury,
which increased from SO, 287, 900 on
April 30 to Sis, S25, 900 on December
81, an increase of $40, SAC, 600 in the
amount of this kind of money held in
the vaults of the government The
difference between the increase of
greenbacks and decrease of gold is ac-
counted for by increase in the amount
of silver dollars and silver certificates
outstanding and minor changes in
other accounts The figures simply
show that, while the government had
just about the same amount OF money
in its vaults on December 81 that it
had on April 80, it had traded gold for
the greenbacks presented by the Wall
street sharks. 1t had the greenbac ks.

CANANDAIGUA, n. Y, April 10.-Pota-

they make very hot and steady fire.
At some auctions of farm property

A farmer of Italy Hill is disposing OF
his potato crop in novel way. He
begins by having good bed of Goals

then oils the feeder with potatoes
which, as they descend into the fire
pot become kiln-dried, and it is claimed,
throw out an excellent heat. Potatoes
are worth about two dollars per ton

Cuba! It is q name that now Is fa-
miuar TO every household in all the CIV
ilized earth. The suffering of its people,
the dying groans of its tortured patriots,
have formed the minor key of sorrow in
the worlds grand song of progress. And
yet, in spite of the fact that it has long
held the interest and sympathy of fair
minded people, no land is SO little known
and so greatly underestimated. The
traveller who glimpses for the first time
her marvellous shores is overcome with
astonishment at the panorama Of i'm
mense possibility that lies shimmering
before him, for even now, her richest
vestments shredded, her body bleeding
under the violent hands of an unnatural
parent, Cuba remains the indestructible
Pearl of the Antilles. with such wealth
in her soil and under it as no earthly
power can take away.
As everybody knows, the development
of Cuba had been from it's earliest &C.
cupancy retarded and at times practi-
cally stopped by the rule of Spain. Soon
after the foot of Columbus touched her
virgin soil the dark cloud c( oppression
began to hover over her, and it was only
by the sheer force of her innate worth,
coupled with the necessities Of her in
habitants, that her glorious products be-
came, even to q limited extent, avail
able.
When in 1911 Columbus sent his son
Diego, with a number of colonists, to
Cuba, the big island was speedily set
tied. and measurements Of its proper
tions were made by a party of official
agramensores (surveyors), and these
measurements were Of such accuracy
that they remain as standards today.
The length Of the island was found to
be in round numbers 600 miles; its
width at its narrowest point, 21 miles,
and at its widest point, Ill miles This
gives to the long. shark shaped island an
area of approximately $4,000 square
miles, or nearly the size of the state of
Pennsylvania.
In view Of the necessity of the extern
sive exploration which was incident to
this comprehensive survey, it seems
passing strange that no more of Cuba g
richness was discovered and utilized for
the development Of the strength and
value Of the new colony. This dereIc-
ton. however, was probably not the
fault Of the really vigorous and pro-
gressive adherents of the son of the
great discoverer. Indeed, from careful
study of history. though exact dates are
not to be obtained, it would seem that
it was soon after its colonization that
the greed of the mother country began
