Our in California they have collected
funds for White memorial. Senator
White was a Catholic. Citizens of all
creeds and of no creed subscribed for
the proposed statue. The monument
was to be set up on the court house
grounds at Los Angeles. But the board
of supervisors of that city, by a two
thirds vote. refused to allow the me-
mortal to be erected in that place.
Bigotry did it. prejudice against the

is to be found in the fact that the

has a deep respect and a cordial ad-
miration.
The outcome of Marconis successful
experiment remains to be seen. There
was a long space of time between the
first experiments in passing an electric
current through a copper wire and the
first successful telegraph line. 1t may
be long time before the transmission
of messages across the Atlantic other
wise than by cable will be an economic
success.

The following delightful story is told
in German paper: A German officer
in command of some Beers managed to
surprise British train at small way
side station. There was some excellent
whisky on board, and the Beers soon
sampled it, with the result that they
soon fell fast asleep on the platform.
Here they were found and captured by
some English troops, who, in their turn,
took a little from a half empty cask,
with the result that, acting on half
starved men. the whisky sent them to
sleep in their turn. When the Beers
awakened they recaptured their cap
turers, and thus in a few hours there
was one British and two Boer victories,
all of a bloodless character.

In 1900 those two nations coined only
IL per cent of the worlds production.
but their decrease was offset by the
coinage in India of about 30 per cent
of the worlds total
This year the coinage in India and

the price of silver has fallen to an
extent threatening the continued work
Ing of the low grade mines. Sauerbeck
comments on the situation thus:
No extra demand of any Importance
Tor coinage purposes can now be ex-
pected, all countries with an effective
or nominal gold standard having
much greater stock of silver than they
require, particularly the United States.
France, Holland, Spain, Belgium, ItaIy
Germany and Austria The production
of silver has, therefore. to depend sole
ly on the industrial demand, on the
coinage of tokens and on the absorb
ton by India and China"
Criticism may be made on the above
comment so far as it relates 10 the
United States by pointing to the minis
running full time on the coinage of
silver dollars to meet the demands of
the country, yet it is true. as stated.
that the demand from abroad. which
maintained the price of silver in the
vicinity of so cents for several wears
has been supplied and is not likely
to be renewed in the near future. The
reflection of the condition Of affairs is
found in market quotation of less
than so cents for silver.
If the production of silver continues !
Tor time at about the quantity pro- |
duced during the past five years the
surplus supply will increase and the
price will continue to fall until enough

As to the scheme of segregating an

incendiary could be identified, the idea.

Of France at the time the Spanish

that Russia blocked the plan by abso-
lutely refusing to interfere in a quarrel
that did not concern her.

society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their

Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his income support them with
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps Of this kind, without which their
industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.

month the popular Josiah Quincy.
Democratic candidate for governor,
carried Boston by only $500 majority,
and yet Collins defeats Mayor Hart
who had $500 plurality last year. by
over $4,000 majority General Collins
made a canvass for governor that was
memorable and having organized and
won a sweeping victory in the city, he
takes his place in the front rank of
American Democratic statesmen from
whom Democratic leaders for the flu

Speaking OF his individuality, the

Collins is furthermore a shining ex-
ample Of what poor but gifted boys can

student by night. Before he was 80 he
was eminent as a lawyer and a nation

was as our consul general at

OUR BOOK TARLE.

A TREATISE on the True Devotion to
the Blessed Virgin, by the Blessed
G. De Montfort. Translated from the
original French by F. W. Faber,
priest of the Oratory.
The Church throughout the world is
gradually forming an opinion of the
value OF De Montfort's writings, and
that opinion seems to be increasingly
favorable TO them. From all sides
comes the same expression of expert
ence; that they are full and deep and
lneXhaustible; that they bear reading
over and over again; that they produce
lasting fruits in the soul.
The Treatise appeals as strongly TO
the intellect as it does TO the heart
ANY one who has really mastered it

has been sensibly raised to a higher
plane, and flooded with new light
