Buffalo, May THE gates of the
Pan American exposition were opened
at $50 this morning. The initial day
was ushered in amid the bang of ham
mers, shrek of saws, and the shouts
of the working men. Informal exer-
cises were held at the government
building. There was salute of for

the most compact fair ever built, but
still it is not crowded. The site in

THE FINE A BIG HOAX
Mrs. Nation was not MOlested al
Kansas City

Kansas City, May l-Despite the
fact that u $500 fine was hanging over
her, Mrs Carrie Nation, of Kansas,
came to town yesterday and addressed
great mass meeting at the Union
Mission last night. In her speech the
smasher flung defiance in the face of
Police Judge McAuley, and dared him
to do his worst; and her hearers
cheered her wildly, said "AmenH'
"Amen!" and marveled much at the
splendid courage of the redoubtable
woman from Kansas. 1t appears,
however, that Mrs. Nation did not ex-
hibit any courage at all in coming
here. She did not brave a wild out
burst of Judge McAuleys wrath and
the fearful rigors of the Kansas City
work house. For the Judge, stung to
the quick by the roast she has given
him since her last visit here, gave the
snap away yesterday. He told a
journal reporter that at the time she
was warned to leave the city and stay
away she knew the fine would.never be
enforced against her.
"Theseministers are talking through
their hats" said the Judge. ''Mrs,
Nation and 1 had an understanding
that the fine was to be imposed as an
advertisement for her. We just got
up little job to get her.further noto'
riety. The whole thing was bluff
except that the fine was ordered"
Judge McAuley's wordswere repeat
ed to Mrs. Nation liust after she got
through speaking last night and shs
was asked to say whether. he told the
truth. She hesitated moment, as il
nonplussed, and then replied, setting
her square jaws sharply together:
81 don't want to say anything
about it,"
She could not be induced to make
any more positive statement than this
though repeatedly asked to do so.
Nevertheless, hoax or no hoax, thu
smasher had great meeting at the
Union Mission last night, and a grea
| time while she was here.

PoCATELLo.

After a number of bitches and de-
lays, the contract has been let for the
most important part of the construc-
ton of the new Oregon Short Line
shops at Pocatello.
The successful bidders are Grace &
Hyde of Chicago. The figures are not
made public. The entire shops will cost
S65G,000. The contract let to the Chi
cago firm includes the car shop ma
chine shop and round house. The con-
tract for the tin shop, steam fitting
shop and blacksmith shop win be let
shortly. These three last named cut a
comparatively small figure in the ex-
pense of the whole.
THE Contractors will begin work as
soon as possible. and push toward a
completion within the year 1902. 1t is
expected that d large force of men
viii be employed on the construction
on or soon after the first of the year.
The new shops will be equipped in
the best possible manner. While they
will not be as complete as some other
shops, it is the intention to equip them
with as modern and as high-class ma
chinery as is made Electrical power
will be used, and as formerly described,
the machinery will give every facility
for handling the repair and construc-
ton work which is to be done there.

The stay of Bishop Lehman in Chey-
enne was fruitful in works of zeal and
benef1cence; but it was all too short to
realize the work he had undertaken or
to give his people a full measure of the
man. PerhapS he was too old to trans
plant: at all events, he soon began to
develop traces of the disease that final
ly carried him off. He has been a very
sick man for the two years past The
Bishops of the province of Dubuque
came to his rescue and named him
Bishop of the new see of Sioux City.
People who are au courant with what
is going on at Rome have known for
some time that the only reason a Bish-
op was not named for the third see in
Iowa was that the Propaganda was ap-
prised of the serious condition of Bishop
Lenihan's health and wished to wait
further information on that point. They
had no thought of appointing another,
but they did not wish to send a sick
man to the young diocese. If the Bish-
OPP had rallied sufficiently to give any
nope of being able to administer the
new see he would have received the
bulls in the spring. Let US hope that
he has exchanged the mitre of Sioux
City for a crown of glory

GOLD AS CHEAP AS BUTTER.

Paris.-The possibility of making gold
out of cheap substances is being warm
ly debated by scientists here.
The topic would have been dismissed
a few years ago as a crazy revival of
medieval alchemy, but since the re-
nowned chemist Berthelot's discoveries
and remarkable assertion that gold
probably is a compound substance in
stead of being a metal, quite import
ant school of scientists has predicted
that gold will be manufactured as
butter is some day.
Meanwhile the French Society of
Modern Alchemy claims that three of
its members, Messrs. Jollivet, De Las
sus and Hoogle, alchemists of repu-
tation, have just completed a success
full synthesis of gold. About half an
ounce was produced and it took six
months to do it.
Professor Berthelot is unwilling to
give an opinion about it without know
ing the details of the process and ex-
aiming the product obtained, but he
says:
Until now chemistry has been
study of only immediate reactions vet
slow reactions-by which | mean those
taking from q month to two or three
years-are suspected, and this will open
quite a new field in science. Possibly
metals might be decomposed into sew
eral elements. If they can be SO. treat
ed, they likewise can be recombined."
Camille Flammario1, to, whom was
given an opportunity to examine the
artificial gold, says:
1T presents all the outward char
acteristics of real gold. I Shall never
pronounce anything impossible in sci
ence unless it is SO mathematicaIly."-

FATHER MALONE AT HOME.
Like Bishop Matt, He is a Victim of
Newspaper Talk.

Especial to Denver News)
New York, Dec. 21.-Father Malone
arrived from Europe today. To rep
resentative of the News he said:
so many ridiculous things have
been published regarding my mission
to Rome that it would be folly to try
1 find myself the victim of sensational
! newspaper talk. Regarding Bishop
| Matt and the diocese of Denver, the
following statement published in Rome
|. and elsewhere in Europe, will make my
position clear, and 1 trust put a quietus
upon the many misleading reports
which seem to have been inspired by
persons inimical to Bishop Matz and
myself.
1T is absurd that the totally ire
sponsible saying of two men should be
considered matters of moment here. 1t
is obvious that secular journalism
through correspondents in Rome has
seized upon the baseless assertions of
these men to create a sensation in
which Bishop Matz is made to appear
as the prosecutor of Irish priests in
particular and pro- German agitator
in general. Even the columns of the
secular press in Rome would seem to
only foundation is in the vagaries of
diseased minds. 1t is unfortunate that
the pique and ire of one or two dis
satisfied individuals should result in re-
Election upon the head of a diocese and
perforce upon the whole clerical body.
In past years there may have been
pro- German party, when the principles
of the late Mr.. Cahensey were rather
misunderstood by the great body of
Erglish-speaking priests, or these prin-
ciples were enormously attributed to
the German priests. This misunder-
standing has long been cleared up, and
now there is but one party in the
priesthood of America, that which is
striving for the extension and exalta-
ton of the religion of Jesus Christ.
All chickering's and misunderstand-
ings are things of the past We have
now no German party, no Irish party
no French party We are a united
body of American priests, loyal to our
bishops and with them and under them
devoted and submissive to the success
sors of the blessed Peter, Christ's vicar
on earth. With regard to the diocese
of Denver in particular, there is per-
feet harmony between Bishop Matz
and his priests. The affairs of the do
cese spiritual and temporal, are pros
pering satisfactorily. Bishop Matz re-
turns from Rome to a united and a
prosperous diocese, strengthened and
comforted by the approval of the Holy
See to find in Colorado devoted cler-
gy and people whose only rivalry will
be to see who can do the most to up
hold the hands and authority of their
bishop in the work for the extension of
the empire of Jesus Christ on earth.
New York, Dec pa cable TO the
World from Rome states: The Popolo

of Denver and Father c. G. O'Keeefe !

Church in Denver:
A Retrospect

The year of our Lord 1901 has been
for the diocese of Denver by far the
most eventful in the last decade. IN
fact, it can only be compared to the
pioneer days in the early 70's, when
new churches were rapidly springing
into existence and new priests con-
stantly arriving from other fields Of
labor.
To Denver Catholics the most import
ant event of this first year of the new
century is the collecting of the munifi-
cent sum of $70,0C0 toward the erection
Of a new cathedral. Who knows but
that a year hence, when chronicling
the important events of the year 1902,
we shall place first and foremost the
laying of the corner stone of the mag
nificent cathedral which at present
seems one of the proba Utilities which
the near future has in store for US?
Then we have the visit OF our beloved
right reverend bishop to Rome, ac-
counts of which have been published
throughout the length and breadth of
our land. His lordship's visit, it is
hoped, will aid materially in the speedy
erection of the new cathedral towards
which end the Jealous bishop has for
so many years earnestly striVen.

The secular press is forced to the ad-
mission that besides doing splendid
work in educating the children, the
three Catholic schools of this city and
WalkervilIe have operated to very ma
terially relieve the demand on the pub
lie schools for room. There are more
than 1000 children attending the pa

the public schools are crowded to over
flowing and several anneXes are being
used to supply the demand made upon
them. Under the conditions existing,
were it not for the parochial schools
the district would be seriously ham
pered, indeed.
There are 700 children attending St.
Patrick's parochial school, in which
building there are twelve rooms, pre-
sided over by as many teachers. In
