To look at the "Mysterious Signa ture the "Rubric of Columbus-" on naturally asks: What Is the Rubric of Columbus?" Rubric means red What has that got to do with Colum bus? That's where the mvstery la. Ry referring to Hnkluyt's Voyages of the Ensrllsh Nation prior to 1600, Vol 1. p. 17. Don Diego says: "And because some peradventure may observe that he calleth himself Columbus de Tarra Rula, I say that in like manner I have seen some sub srlptions of my Father Christopher Columbus. So that originally at Genoa. Italy, where he hailed from, so to say. his name was Christopher Colon de Tarra Rubra. I again quote from Hakluyt "He whoso dear native soil height stately Genua, Even he whose name is Bartholo mew Colon de Tarra de Rubra; Tn the year of Grace 14SS, and In the 13th day of Feb. more In London published this work" As this "de Terra Rubra" part of the name, the surname has been omit ted.to be noticed intentionally omitted, the above testimony will establish it's truth and warrant my restoring, it If there was nothing more to warrant Its restoration. We are interested in this because Spain's claims in the Western Hem isphere are founded exclusively on the discoveries made by "Christopher Co lumbus." The Inter Ocean October 2d. 1897. says: "We paid Spain direct ly or Indirectly for her claims as follows: IxHilsiana Purchase, 1803, $27,262,621 Florida Purchase, 1818, 6.489.708 Mexico for N.M.,Cal. 1848 15.000,000 Gadsden Purchase, 1853, 10,000,000 $58,752,329 Ther Is an immense quantity of "Spanish Grants" in addition to all this; enough to make the amount $60,000,000, which we have paid Spain or France or Mexico. This Is a fair statement of the case. It is a nation al matter, and International, also. To the President of the Smithsonian Institutions: I respectfully call tils to your serious attention.

Mr. President: Spain came In pos session of Seville n 1248, taking It from the Moors. The ane'ent blftory of Seville and its seaport Cdls (Calls), la given as previously belonging to Arab, Goth. Vandal, Roman. Phoene- clan, the latter Implying a red man. Mr. President: The word America la from Armorlca. I have traced and proved that from the ancient art electric arts. The word Kalis Is from Alkali the Kail referring to one of he systems of ancient electrk-s. Kali la seen In Kallfornla, Kalldonla and Kalcutta'a Asia, Europe and America. Mr. President: The ancient sys tems of electrics were: 1st The Me chanical water power generally; 2nd. The Alkali process; 3rd. The Terra Rubra process; or as more commonly known the Christopher Colon de Terra Rubra" process. The latter sys tem is preserved, emblematically, by the American Red Men. In their dunces, especially the "Snake" dances of the Zuni and Moouls, etc. Mr. President: The electrically In sulated pottery, we find in the situ In the strata here, belonging to that far away time, la the same in character and In use as the oldest, found all around the world. The Jave (non conductor) axes found with this pot tery, came from western Chltia; found here and at Zuni and on the Gila river. Mr. President: E. Hawkins says that the metallic money of Britain Is older than the present era.. Many of the emblems on these ancient llrltlsh gold coins, are found on this ancient Insulated electric jar pottery, found in New Mexico and Arizona; also among those people, British legends are still told; the rivers, lakes, moun tains and people, have British names. Gila, Is 0111 in Cornish: Cassa Grande. or Chlchilticale: kikl or keke and kali; this Is Identical with kakau. the 11th King of Egypt, as shown on the Temples of Egypt: this again, is Ident ical 1n meaning to "Christopher Ca Ion, for Colon is Kali. Now keke is the word used by Eliott. the apostle to the Indians, to translate "light" the great light the electric light. Christopher Columbus the annolnted spirit the electric light Tin-tael, is the same as Tintagel. Astufa and kleve are alike. Tlntagal and kieve are Cornish words. The kali system of electrics was a Cornish system There is no question but the people of Zunl, Moqul, Pregan and Mancopa etc., are of Scotch and Cornish de scent; art, name and legend confirm It; perhaps some of your own rela tions. Mr. President: Near Sllsllis, on the Nile, in Eg 'pt, is an ancient temple built like a Zunl Pueblo. In Scotland and Wales are round towers, built like those on the Rio Mancos in Colorado The origin of the electric light was expressed In Egypt as follows: The "Solar System" emblems were in Li bya and the "Zodiac" emblems In "Arabia." the Nile flowing between represented the River of the Electric Light. At Omaha, on the Missouri right here, in the remains of mounds and their form and location, we find expressed the same idea as m Egypt In Ohio the ancient mounds and their system, expressed more amply the same they taught the same story as the great Pyramid, openly not secret ly. These Ohio temples at night were lit up by their mica electric limht. The round towers of Scotland Wales. Chlchtale, San Marcos are Identical with the Labrylnth (The- nyre-inth) of Egypt, which latter waa built by King Sin-Cheres. (Electric Jars) and Abaris. lived there. Abaris means, father of the electric light The Hyperboreans carried the arrow of Abaris around the world. He put a cable round about the earth in 40 minutes.' Puck. Mr. President: Here are seven rea sons why Christopher Columbus did not discover America as claimed by the Spaniards in 1492. It is simply like the story of Marquette, LaSalle and DeSoto, of the French, a fraudu lent perversion of facts of literature and the literature of those facts, con nected with the laying and use of the ancient Hyperborean electric tele graph cable, laid around the world, GEO. W. BETTESWORTH P. S. Mr. President: I should be pleased to show you how easily It was for me to discover and restore the "Lost Arts" of the "Electric Light Age" of our world, and Its literature. That age claimed "there was nothing new under the sun." This discovery Is what all peoples have been hoping and praying for. This work la pub lished. It's price is $5.00. In order to get means to carry on these Invest! gatlons and apply them to hieroglyph lea of Egyptian temples and tombs which I suppose are diagrams or re nal r parts of the electrics or the an cients; for Instance, the Cartorch of the 11th king of Ralechos Kakau conforms to the 15th chapter or Gen mis, which describe the origin of the electric light; the seventy khigi of ErvDt are described from 1st Oen eals to the Exodus of the children of Israel Exodus chapter 15:19.

Archbishop Feehan has promul gated the following Lenten regula tions to be observed In the archdio cese of Chicago: During the approaching Lent, by 1 special indult of the holy father, the f,.!l..nrlntf rotrtil u f f (in a will liA nhaAiV0f1 luuuniuft , . . . - . In the archdiocese: 1 Fleoh meat may De usea at au tne meala on Sunday, and once each day at the principal meal on the following days: On all Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. m On all Saturdays, except Saturday of Ember week and Holy Saturday. Fleuh and null are not allowed at , the same meat. permits coffee, tea or chocolate, w th a KUiaJl piece or ureaa, 10 00 laxen m the morning. Custom allows the use of eggs, but- ter milk, etc., at the evening collation. The following persons are not obliged to fast, vis.: the sick and those In feeble health; women nurs- , Jj ing cniiaren, an wno are engaitea in laborious and exhaustive occupations, I the young who have not eomple'ed their twenty-first year, and those who have reached the sixtieth year of their 1 age. Those who are excused from f.ist- I ing, on account of age or hard labor I may use flesh meat more than once on the days on which it Is allowed. All who are exempt from the law of fasting should endeavor to perform during Ient some other acts of piety and charity. By an indult of the 15th of March, 1895, the holy see has given, for ten years, to the bishops of the United States the faculty of dispensing In fa vor of working people, from the law of abstinence on certain davs. By virtue of this indult and dispen sation of Lent, working people are permitted to use flesh ment once a day on all fast and abstinence davs of he year except Fridays. Ash Wednes day, Wednesday and Saturday in holy week and the vigil of Christmas. The above dispensation is granted not only to working men and women, but also to their entire families. All persons po dispensed are advl&pd to perform some other work of pen ance or self-denial. The reverened pastors will, with their usual eal, afford every opportu nity and facility to their people or complying with their religious obli gations during the holy season. The time for fulfilling the paschal duty extends from the first Sunday "of Lent to Trinity Sunday, both inc'uded. The annual collection for the Indian and negro missions, and for the prop agation of the faith, will be made In all the churches of the archdiocese on the first Sunday of Lent The pro ceeds will be forwarded as soon as possible to the chancellor. Our father, the pope, has enjoined that a collection be made in the vari ous churchea on Good Friday, or some other convenient day, for the holy places In Palestine in care of the Franciscan fathers. The amount will be sent to thn chancellor In due time. On holy Thursday the chancellor will distribute the holy oils to the rev- ernd clergy after the mass and cere monies, which will commence at 10 o'clock. All the pastors of the city are expected to be present at the blessing of the holy oils. Irish Politics. Regarded from almost any point of view, it was a piece of grossly bad tactics to force the Catholic Unlver sity debate on the address. It waa prefectly well known that the Balfour brothers were committed to the Idea of such a university and will loyally do their best to carry the scheme through. It was equally obvious that the amendment to the address, which they would have to oppose, could only exhibit them in the light of leaders who voted against their own personal sympathies because they had failed to Induce their colleagues and follow ers to share those sympathies. Worse, still, it offered an irresistible tempta tion to a number of non-conformist radicals, still smarting over last week's Irish repudiation of the Lib eral alliance, to at once take some re venge and play to a gallery of bigots in their own constituencies. The ques tion of a Catholic-Irish University is delicate and difficult enough, in all conscelnce, without heaping all these new and gratuitous obstacles In its path. Why, then, was it done? Simply because in the chaos of Irish politics every faction leader seizes what he can reach to prevent his ri vals from getting it. and Dillon snatched up the university question. rushed forward with It at a cruelly in opportune moment, merely to put Redmond and Healy at a disadvan tage. I dare say they would have done the same by him if the opportunity offered. "Ninety-eight" seems to have got into their heads for the time being at least and they are playing all their game wildly. Naturally. William O'' Brlen, who has been relegated to the background of late, would come foam ing and prancing to the front at such a period of electrical disturbance. Anti-Irish papers reported hla fool speech at St James' Hall at sagacious length, taking special pains to em phaalze hia talk about Michael Davitt at Washington, being as formidable aa Wolfe Tone waa at Paris. If thla means anything it means that Davitt can bring the American warships on a hostile errand Into the Irun n ar bors We all understand about Mi chael and Washington, but not all Englishmen do.

While the papal situation In the old countries is quite unsatisfactory to the pope, he Is looking to this country with bright hopes of increasing suc cess and of national triumph in the near future as foreshadowing the re turn, in part at least, of his temporal power over the nations of the world. And It lsnot too much to say that the pope Is already looking upon this country as a prize of great value to be secured at any cost of treasure or efforts. He is skillfully laying his plans for the accomplishment of this one object of his life, and when hin dered and defeated by his political op ponents he Is patient and untiring In his efforts and is quite willing to abide his time. It is true that the prominent officials of this country do not exactly see eye to eye in their views, and yet In their main princi ples and work to be accomplished they are a unit in the interest of the "Holy Church.' In studying the papal situation in this country I am more than ever convinced that the patriotic Ameri cans or- the A. P. A.'s, and the two score of kindred orders and their friends are very troublesome to the papal hierarchy and upon which it looks with alarm and horror. It Is true that it ridicules and represpnts them as dead and burled, but still It Is awfully afraid of the rising tide of anti-Romanism in this country. The papists are afraid of the American patriots, not only because their bal lots are turned against them, but be cause they have brought to the front the true history of popery during the centuries and are now exposing its treacherous designs and purposes against the government and our civil institutions. But after all it must be admitted that the situation of Rome In this country is one of mighty proportions as to wealth, political power, energy, oneness of purpose, patience and de termination. And H is In no sense In fluenced by any sound principle of morals or of Christianity, as Is proved by the papal canon law, Roman Catholic dogmas and the declarations of the Romish priesthood. Hence, on the whole, the pope is exceedingly well pleased with the situation thus far with papal affairs in the nation. especially with the "license saloon system" as a tree of his own rieht hand planting, regarding it as his best help in weakening the government and thus preparing the way for him to easily subjugate this country to the papal power, for the purpose of which he has today without any doubt, a large and well drilled and equipped army ready to receive his orders: and he considers it only a question of time when he will become by force of arms the temporal, as well as spirit ual, ruler of this broad land.
