EDWARDS OATH.
Catholics Are Much Worried Over the
Wording of It

New York, Jan. 27.-According to the
Albany, N. Y, correspondent or the
Times, Bishop Burke, in the cathedral
of the Immaculate Conception at that
place took occasion to refer to the oath
which King Edward VII will take at
his coronation. The bishop said he
wished the world and especially all
Catholics, to know just what references
the oath contained, and while the King
of England was swearing that the doc
trine of the divine presence in the most
blessed eucharist was false and the sac
rifice of the mass a superstition, he
wanted every Catholic to raise his heart
to the Almighty and make most de-
vout act of faith. Unless parliament
should change this oath, the bishop de-
clared, King Edward would. as ruler
of his kingdom, insult millions of Cath
Ole subjects when he took it.
I'VE must throw aside all sentiment
we must look at the facts as they are
in cold reality" declared the bishop. IF
King Edward were to take the oath
now he would be obliged to swear that
the eucharist is not the body and blood,
soul and divinity of our Divine Lord
under the appearance of bread and
wine, and he would have to swear that
this divine sacrifice of the mass which
we are offering here is a superstition
or q fable On the day of the coronation
of the King of England I want every
Catholic to pray fervently to God, to
repeat the apostles creed, to make an
act of faith, and if possible to spend
some time in alteration before the most
blessed sacrament"

DRINKING OF LIQUOR.

CFrom the Atchison Globe.1
II the people ever become intelligent,
they will quit drinking intoxicants.
This habit, it seems to US, is without
excuse. No man can excuse the habit
of paying a high price for something
which does him harm. Drinking intoxi-
cants is a relic of the days of reckless
ness; of the days when men committed
suicide for the privilege of dying in agony
in presence of their friends, and thus
causing a scene"
Drinking intoxicants is a relic of the
age when people did not understand the
Importance of good conduct: when the
greatest thief was the greatest chief.
We have charity for most weaknesses,
but when a man deliberately pays a
high price for intoxicants that injure
not only his reputation as a man of
sense, but his health, we confess we
cannot understand him. 1t is perverted
nature for which we cannot see any ex-

THROWS DOWN GAUNTLET.
Topeka Publisher Makes Remark
able, Surprising Claim.

Here is remarkable statement which
appears in big letters in the booth of
Crane G. Co.. at the Midwinter exposi-
ton:
Crane & Co. have published more
books IN quantity and number of titles.
than the combined output Of all the pub
lshlng houses in Kansas, Iowa, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Col
orado, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Ari-
zona"
This is a pretty broad statement and
one wonders as he looks at it If Mr..
Crane has not overstepped himself in
making such a claim Can he prove his
comes to the mind upon the inspection
of the sign. 1t certainly requires
great amount of nerve for a Topeka
publisher to throw down the gauntlet
in such a manner.
When Mr.. Crane was asked whether
he had not Overstepped himself in his
claims he smiled knowingly. There it
Isl said he. Read it for yourself. This
firm has never made any claims it could
not make good and am ready to dem
onstrate the facts. Why 1 would go
even farther and include Missouri in
the list if it were not for the city of st.
Louis. think that Oregon and Wash
ington should also be included but I
have not had time to investigate their
business and as 1 did not know from
positive proof 1 left them out"
When a person examines the shelves
in the Crane booth he can in a measure
understand why Mr.. Crane makes such
a comprehensive challenge. There is
on display copy of all the books ever
published by this enterprising firm in
the 33 years of its existence. It is dem
onstrated that IS authors are under
obligations to Mr.. Crane, If the fact that
a publisher has brought out their books
is any advantage. There are IS writer's
whose works might never have seen the
light of day if it were not for Mr..
Cranes enterprise. Mr.. Crane has been
the champion of Kansas literature and
the bulk of the books by Kansas writers
have been from the press of Crane e
Co.
It is enterprise like this that makes a
state or a city and that Is why Mr.
Crane is enabled to f1aunt such a sign
in the face of the world.

TEA HAS A HEARING.
Ways and Means Committee Gets Out
PAIRING Knife.

Washington, Jan. H.-The ways and
means committee temporarily laid aside
the subject of Cuban reciprocity and en-
tered upon the question of reducing the
war revenue taxes. During the morning
the tea interests were heard on the pro-
position to take off the tax of ten cents
a pound on tea imposed by the Spanish
war revenue act. This afternoon was
set aside for the beer interests. The tea
interests were numerously represented
Some of those present opposed change
and Chairman Payne divided the time
so that both sides might be heard AL
bert P. Sloan of New York, president
of the National Tea Duty Repeal asso-
citation made the opening statement He
summed up the appeal for reduction as
follows:
.sF'irst-The duty is an excessive
hardship upon the four classes of peo-
pie interested - consumer, retailer
wholesale grocer and tea importer
''Second-The duty is injuring per-
manently the quality of tea sold and
consumed.
'.Third-The poorer classes pay the
tax in full and the better classes are
gradually being deprived of the best
tea.
s'Fourth-As the tea duty is a war tax
it should be removed now that the war
is over and there is a surplus in the
treasury.
''Fffth-As tea already is heavily
taxed upon the principle of protection,
it should not be doubly taxed as it is

of the week. Instead of waiting an op-
perfume time to discuss the matter
with Mr.. Brigham, the ladies stalked in
to the office when number of the ex-
hibitors were there and in this manner
the news was carried over the entire
building. After argument the ladies
admitted there was nothing indecent in
the performance and withdrew their de-
mands that the performance be stop
ped. Everything went all right until
Saturday night Then a member of
the Federation publicly Kissed during
the recital of one of Miss Mathews
songs.
Miss Mathews Immediately turned
round and pointing at the lady said:
IF the lady will quit kissing, I will go
on with my performance" After say
ing which she quit the stage her
cheeks flaming with rage.
The applause of the audience was so
tremendous that she finally consented
to respond to an encore and again re-
sponded to another encore.
The visitors at the exposition, who
were in sympathy with Miss Mathews,
took occasion to hiss the lady who
caused the trouble as she left the build
ing.
Today Fire Chief Wilmarth came to
Mr. Brigham to protest at the manner
in which Miss Mathews had treated two
colored members of the fire department
who were on duty at the exposition and
who were standing on the stage during
her act, and to endeavor to prevent such
action if she was engaged for this week.
The action of Miss Mathews that call
ed forth the firemens protestations was
her comments on their color, when be-
tween the verses of one OF her coon
and exclaimed, Aren't you ashamed of
NolIr color"

FAHRIG BUYS LAND.
Philadelphia Chemist Evidently Has
Faith in Kansas Shale.

DIR. Ernst Fahrig. the Philadelphia.
chemist and assayer who claims to
have an electrical process for extract
ing gold from Kansas shale. has mani
tested his confidence in the value of
the shale lands as a business PROPOSE
ton by buying HOO acres of land in
that district. 1t is not known whether
DIR. Fahrig will build a mill on this land
or not, but it is supposed that this is
his intention.
George Veale has just returned from
Smoky Hill City, where he has been su
perintending the loading of a car with
shale which will be used in the expert
mental mill which is to be constructed
here to test the Fahrig process The
shale will arrive here within few
weeks.
The Hays City Republican prints the
following fish story" about the Kan
sas shale:
1.-The latest thing discovered in the
Smoky Hill shale is fish. A perfect
fossil specimen of a large-sized species
of the piscatorial tribe was shown to
an expert assayer, who at once jottets
down in his note book, fish. 100 per
cent. A wag at his elbow inquired
whether in the opinion of the assayer
there might possibly be an affinity be
tween the shale fish species and the
modern sucker

WE LEAD IN MINERALS.

Estimf3tes of the mineral products of
the United States, which have just
reached the treasury bureau of stats
tics indicate that they will exceed in
nearly every particular those of any
preceding year. Not only will they ex-
coed those OF any preceding year, but
exceed in nearly every case those of ev-
cry other country.
In gold, in silver. in iron. in steel, in
copper. in coal. and in mineral oil the
products of the United States in 1901
exceed those of any other country. and
fn every instance except possibly copper
surpass her own record in any preced-
ing year. The estimates of gold and
silver production are from the mint bu-
reau and those Of pig iron, copper, coal.
and mineral oil from the Engineering &
Mining Journal These estimates put the
gold production of 1901 at $50. 21S. 800
against 1911. 900 in 1900 which was
the highest record in gold production
that the United States had ever made
They put the silver production of 1901
at 59,653.7SS OUNCES. against 1854, 200
ounces in 1900. The pig iron production
is estimated at 15.s00.000 long tons
against 13, 7S9. 242 long tons in 1900. in
which year the figures exceeded those
OF any preceding year. The coal pro-
duction is estimated at 267. S5O, 900 long
tons, against 240.965,9I7 long tons in
1sco. the year of highest production
heretofore OF petroleum the produc-
tim is estimated at sc. 1000. 900 barrels. or
762. 100000 gallons. against 1861, 23S, SOS
gallons in 1900. the year of largest pro-
Guetion heretofore. OF copper the pro
euction is estimated at 595. OO0, 600 pounds
or 265,625 long tons. or about 5000 tons
below the figures of 1900, copper thus
being the only item in the entire list
which shows for 1901 a smaller figure of
production than that of last year
That these figures clearly put the
United States in the lead in the pro-
duction of all these articles is shown
by a comparison of the 1900 figures of
production of the United States with
