ASCENSION DAY,
Its History And Church Observance The
Pasohal Candle VIII Be Extinguished.

Pasohal Candle Will Be Extinguished.
Tomorrow is Ascension Day, or Holy
Thursday. 1t is observed in commemo-
ration OF the day Christ "ascended into
heaven, led captivity captive and opened
the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. I"
1t is celebrated forty days after Easter.
Members of the High Church party
have endeavored 10 get this day set apart
as general holiday in the same manner
as the days of the Birth, Passion and
Resurrection. but their efforts have not
been attended with any large amount OF
success. On this day, in England, the
practical bounds are beaten by the char
Ity children. who are attended by the
beadle and other officials.
Formerly it was the English custom TO
aog or bump some OF the children at the
bounds. in order that those localities
might be impressed on their memories.
The Feast OF the Ascension is solemn
festival day in the Catholic Church OF
the hig hest rank, with Octave. On this
day the Paschal Candle, which was sol
emnly blessed and lighted on Holy Sat
utday. symboIizing Jesus. the Light come
into the world. will be extinguished at
the first Gospel OF the solemn Mass in
every parish church Throughout, the world.
This sacred and expressive candle, rep
resenting the All-h~.Y y Body OF Christ,
has been thus used in the Catholic Church
ever since, and even prior. to the time Of
Pope ST. ZoEimus. in 4I7. The practice
of lighting it in Solemn Mass till the
Feast OF the Ascension was established
throughout the great Franciscan Order
by decree dated 1908.
In the year 1907. the Sacred Congre-
cation of Rites ordered that the Paschal
Candle should be lighted when Mass is
sung, and at Vespers. on Easter Sunday,
Easter Monday, Easter Tuesday, on Sat-
urday in Low week, and on Sundays
until Ascension Day. Its extinguIshment
after the Gospel symbolizes Our Lord 5
departure from the Apostles.

GOLD OUTPUT IN AUSTRALIA.
The Production Increased ThreefOId
in Ten Years.

The State Department has received from
John Z. Bray. the American Consul Cen
eral at Melbourne. some important sta
tistics concerning the gold production in
Australia in 1900. Says Consul General
Bray.
The Australasian gold production has
increased greatly since 1890. when the to-
tai was l5S7.S47 ounces For three years
the rate of increase was only modera te,
but from 1893 to 1891 the total rose from
1866 ounces to ,239 2d5 ounces. Again,
for three years Il increase was slow, but
the developments in Western Australia
caused the total to spring from 2.2I5. l35
ounces for 1895 to :, 929 $50 ounces for 1891
Two years of surprising increases follow
ed. the total for 1898 being 3.54T O79 ounces
and that for 1899 4, 4Gl. I05 ounces The year
1900 has however, witnessed retrogression
the total being 4IIISII ounces. showing a
decrease of 2S6. 294 ounces. Nearly every
State has produced less gold during the
past year.
The following statistics indicate the
movement in the production of each State
for the last decade and for the past year:
'-1S9J-New South Wales, 127, $50 ounces.
New Zealand 193. 1913 ounces; Queensland,
6165S7 ounces; South Australia, p, 81
ounces; Tasmania, 2g,5lQ ounces; Victoria.
SIS $50 ounces; Western Australia, y, sos
ounces. Total, 1854 ounces
''1900-New South Wales. &45 600 ounces;
New Zealand, 81, 1913 ounces; Queensland,
81. 065 ounces; South Australia. 1887 oInc-
es: Tasmania, S. zoe ounces; Victoria, S01.-
4G7 ounces; Western Australia, 1859, g49
ounces. Total, 4.174SI1 ounces.
The increase for the decade is 2,5SG. S64
ounces, and the decrease for the year, as
already stated. is 2SG, 294 ounces During
the ten years, every State has increased
its production to greater or less extent,
but Western Australia and Queensland
stand first in this matter. In fact, the
production of these two States in 1900,
namely, 2,532 014 ounces, constituted over
three-fifthS of the AuStraIaSian total
The extent to which Australasia has
benefited by the great increase in gold
production during the last ten years is
best indicated by a comparison Of values
The total value of the production at SlS24
per ounce for the years 1885, 1889, and 1900
is as follows.

II we may accord fun faith and credit
to our reports from Cuba today, the is
land political situation is rapidly under
going a change for the better It appears
that TIE opinion of the conservative eIe-
ment is making an impression upon the
Populace generally. and that even the
radicals are beginning TO realize that it
would perhaps be better to accept the
Plat amendment in its entirety than, by
resistance, to postpone the day of au-
tonomy and Cuban seiE-sovernment IN
definitely.
This would be the sensible course TO
pursue. because # the matter of relations
between the proposed neutrality-suspicious.
State and its s,zerain should be left open
for further consideration by Congress the
chances would be very strong that the re-
suit would be terms much less liberal TO

Cuba is in a great hurry to be chris
