A SENSATION
In Catholic Circles will be Caused by
ArchhI.hop Mnlsh.

TORONTO, Ont. Feb. s.-This week
Archbishop Walsh will address let
ter to the press stating his position on
the Manitoba school question.
In his letter the archbishop will de-
clare that the question is local and can
best be settled by Manitoba. He as
serts that Catholics are free TO vote as
their conscience dictates, but both Pro-
testnnts and Catholics will be advised
to use their influence in allaylng Sec
tartan feeling and to ignore the voices
OF the politicians, who are shrewdly
striving to excite radical conflict.
This action OF Archbishop Walsh is
directly opposed to the views OF the
hierarchy OF Quebec and Ontario and II
expected to cause q sensation.

Ind:
.Tn Wow OF the resolutions passed by
the state central committee at Its recent
meeting. and of the fact that delegates
10 the national Republican convention
are soon to be chosen in this state. I
have concluded that some statement
from me as to my wishes and purposes
should now be made known to my In
diana friends. Hitherto have declined
TO speak to the public upon this matter.
bu, scores of friends to whom / have
talked and many scores more to whom
have written. will recognize in this
expression the substance of what I have
sad to them. To every one who has
proposed to promote my nomination
have said NO. There never has been
an hour since I left the white house
that have felt a wish to return to 1t.
MY Indiana friends have been most
devoted and faithful. and I am their
grateful debtor. The Republican
party has twice in national conven-
ton given me Its endorsement and
that Is enough. think the voters Of our
party are now entitled to have a new
name. For the sentiment. great or
small. that has been manifested for my
numiuutIOn. am grateful; and of that
wider respect and Misunderstanding
party llues-whIch has been shown me
in 50 many ways, am profoundly ap-
srscIatlve.
T cannot consent that my name be
presented or used in the ST. Louis con-
vsDtlon and must kindly ask my
friends to accept this as a final ex-
preston on the subject"

Fortune Won BY q Kiss.

A stolen kiss once brought the culprit
into possession of fortune. He was
butcher in Sydney, and had taken the
liberty of kissing one Of his customers,
a pretty girl, who resented the affront
and had him prosecuted for assault.
He was fined heavily by the local magis-
trate, and the case was commented on
freely by the press. The publicity thus
given to the affair happened to arrest
the notice of firm of solicitors in Sgd
ney who had been appointed trustees OF
some property which had been left to
the man by distant relative 20 years
before. They had failed to trace the
heir, but when his name appeared in
the papers in connection with the case
of assault they communicated with him,
and he was able to establish his identity

NEW SOURCE OF eUTTA PERcAA
An Enterprise That VIII Largely Increase

An Enterprise That VIII Largely Increase
the Output.
A new enterprise that it is claimed
will largely increase the output of gutta
percha is the collection and export Of
the dried leaves Of the gutta tree. At
first few small packages or leaves
were forwarded to Paris, and once there,
an excellent quality Of gutta percha
was extracted, the leaves yielding from
seven to ten per cent. of their weight
of the manufactured article. F. Hou-
rant, who sent the leaves to France,
after some difficulty succeeded in get
ting the natives to work Systematically
ut the collection of leaves, and now
they were being explored in quantities
which increase from month to month.
He has erected factory at Kuching
for the purpose of thoroughly drying
these leaves before shipment. The ad-
vantages OF this me thod are evident.
The natives formerly cut down tree
to obtain the sap, and from this, il 1t
were an adult tree 2j to 30 years of age,
there was obtained one catty of pure
dry gutta. Fully as much can be OBJ
tanned from two packages of the leaves
of the same tree, without inj,ring it,
for it will long continue to put out
fresh foliage, and, what is more inn
portant, will live to seed and reproduce
its species. This is an important point,
as the best gutta trees do not bear
fruit until 80 years of age. The gutta
obtained from the leaves is also pure
and dry, which is much more than can
be said of the ordinary Diak gutta.
The millions of trees that have already
been destroyed by the native gatherers
are also still of service, as their stumps
have sent up numerous small shoots,
and, though these are too small to be
tapped, their leaves are as good as those
of the adult trec.-Scientific American

and said, fiercely:
What does it matter what the thing
says, rogue, seeing that you forged 1t
as you forged the other"
"Ahl would that had,' answered
Natal; "but when doom overtalles you
and all of us, then shall you learn
whether or not l forged this writ
ing" And he lifted it from the floor
and hiding it in the folds of his robe,
added: "Close the heart, white man,
and give back the severed jewel to those
who wear it,"
The senor did so, replacing the silken
cloth over the symbol so that the altar
seemed to be as it had been.
snow let us be going" said Natal,
''and rejoice that if yonder eye has seen
our wickedness, it is hidden from the
sight of men. Doubtless the vengeance
Of the gods is sure, but that of men is
swift"
As he spoke we turned to leave the
! sanctuary, and of sudden Maya
screamed, and would have fallen had
not the senior caught her. Well might
she scream, for there in the narrow
niche of the door bv which he had en-
tered, stood q white figure that at first
took to be that of some avenging ghost.
Another instant and / saw that in
deed 1t was ghost, the ghost of Zibal-
bay, or rather his body come back from
the boundaries of death to spy upon
our sacrilege before it crossed them
forever.
While he had seemed to be senseless
uncn the bed in the chamber, his senses
were awake, and oh, what must he have
suffered when he heard us plan our
fraud upon his sanctuary. Then when
we had left him his fury and despair
unfettered the limbs that had been
bound so fast and gave him strength to
follow, though they could not unlock
his frozen tongue.
Oh, never shall I forget the rage of
his quivering face, or the agony and
horror of his tormented eyes as they
met ours.
He saw our fear, and with last effort
staggered forward toward his daughter,
his clenched hands held above his head.
Then foam, mingled with blood, burst
from his lips, and he sank down at her
feet dead.
Somehow we Gained and silenced
Maya; somehow we escaped from that
hateful sanctuary, and by slow degrees
brought her and the dead body of her
J father up the narrow stairs and pas,
sages to the hall above, where we laid
, the latter on it's bed Then Natal left
us, and l remember no more till the
) next morning, when the mobiles and
: leeches came to watch by the body Of
: the cacique and embalm it in readiness
> for the tomb.
! The next two days went heavily fol
the three of us, oppressed as we were
3 by the silent gloom of our prison anC
: the memories of that dreadful night.
At length they carried away th'
< corpse of Zibalbay to be wrapped in it
