the future bishop of Buffalo distanced
all competitors.
Whether it was ever his intention to
become a soldier is not known, but
the alluring prospect was relinquished
and young Quigley decided to complete
his preparation for clerical orders.
After finishing at St. JOseph's college
he went to the Vincentian seminary
of Our Lady of Angels. In 1873 Bishop
Ryan secured for the young man a
''bursch" in the University Of Inns
bruck in the Austrian Tyrol. From
this famous institution to the College
of the Propaganda in Rome was his
next step, and here, again, he bore
away hOnors, securing the title Sum
ana Cum Laude," May %, 1879. He had
already received holy orders at the
hands of the cardinal vicar Of Rome,
Monaco de la Valleta, April Is of the
same year. The present bishop Of
Brooklyn, Rt. Rev. Charles Z. Melon
0ell, was Bishop Quigley's elassmate
and close friend.
Returning from Rome in 1879, he was
assigned by Bishop Ryan to a rector
ship at Attica, \. Y, where he re-
mained five years. He then entered ST..
Joseph's cathedral in Buffalo as its
rector. having been selected from more
than a hundred eligible priests. In
1896, just before he was made a biSh-
op. Father Qu.gIey became rector Of
81. Hr.dget's church, Of Buffalo.
The episcopal see of Buffalo becom-
ing vacant in April, 1896, by the death
ofE.sLop Ryan. The Buffalo priests cast
their votes for Father Quigley. and the
selection was unanimously indorsed
by the bishops Of the ecclesiastical
provinces of New York. Thepope gave
-is approval In December, and early
SD 1897 he was confirmed a bishop.
Bishop Quigley speaks most of the
european languages, and is a force
IN the affairs of the church. Last
sfE.-g he was brought into the public
eye through a fight he began against
---o' unions with sOcialistic tenGen-
S.1s. He ordered all good Catho-
.-sa In his jurisdiction to leave social
-s., organizations. This order was
-..'o"-a Iey a bitter contest, in which

How smoke Is Utilized.

A novel method of getting rid Of
black smoke, and at the same time
turning it to practical use, is now
being adopted in some Belgian fac
tories. The smoke is driven by fans
into a porous receptacle over which
flows a stream of petroleum or sim
liar liquid. The smoke is thus caught
and turned into a gas that gives great
heat, and can be used for running gas
engines.

up his team and came to Gainesville,

to taste it, which she did. She spat
out what she drank without swallow

afterwards given StH!sn.e hogs, which,
after drinking the milk, tIicd.N.
In few moments he was dcathly
sick and, screaming to his wife that

that he was dcathly sick. His uncle
ran towards him ar:,i caught him in
his arms aS he was about to sink TO

that he had been poisoned. All was

Most of these were at mill No. 2, at

OF clearing away the debris is progress

machinery in the wrecked mills is
regarded as a total loss. The com

goods are scattered down the river for
