$500. Twelve religious houses In a
single French city, formerly occupied
by female religious orders, which were
assessed in the books OF the munich
pallty as being worth 100000. were
recently sold, and the whole OF the
property brought only $4,000.
Then. many Of the religious orders
before they were compelled to leave
France. mortgaged their properties for
large amounts, and these mortgages
had to be paid out of the proceeds from
the sales. In many instances private
parties were represented as the real
owners OF some OF the converts, mon
asteries, schools. etc, and in these
cases the property could not be sold
without an order from the courts. Th'

before the laws against the religious
orders were enforced and they were
compelled to go into exile.
The Jesuits are perhaps the only
members Of the French religious ord.
ers who have not as yet left France, at
least in body. They have scattered.
and they now reside two or three to-
Gether in private houses or apartments
That they have been able to send their
personal property TO Rome is proved
by the fact that each Of the French
Jesuits now receives from the head
house in Rome an annual pension
amounting to $500. with which they
are all enabled TO continue In their
church work without materially vlo-
lating the laws against the associa-
lions.
or the other French religious orders,
the Assumptionists, who we're perhaps
the richest. have now a capital OF $780,
100000, which Is administered from
their central house in Rome. where
twenty bookkeepers. under the direc.
ton Of their Procurator.G General. Faith
err Baudouy, attend to the administra-
ton and distribution OF the income
from their large funds.
The Eudists. who have also n Gen.

Joy an annual income from their In
vested funds OF nearly 100000 The
Fathers of Saint Vincent de Paul are
known TO have brought from France
nearly 100000 to their general house
In Rome.
The Lazarists. the Marists and the
White Fathers, who possess large es.
Adjustments in several missionary
centres, are also considered enormous
ly wealthy Notwithstanding their exi,e
from French soil, the Lazarists espec.
tally possessing several banking estab-
!ishments in the East.
The Fathers of the Immaculate Con-
ception still administer their estab-
lishment at Lourdes In such n way as
10 escape the provision OF the French
laws. and their income Is so great that
they have been made to pay to the Holy

The Missionaries OF the Sacred
Heart. the oblates Of Mary. the Faith.
ers Of the Holy Ghost, the Saleslans
and the Sulplcians have also settled
their Generals In Rome, where they
have arected large establishments with
the money they had been enabled to
take out Of France.
From this enumeration II appears
that the laws enacted In France
against the religious orders have no,
seriously crippled the religious congre-
cations and that perhaps after a time
they will find themselves In a better
financial condition than ever before in
their own country. The fact that In
Italy they can support themselves with
less expenditure than in France will
add to their future prosperity. and per
haps some day they will thank the
French legislators who have approved
the laws exiling them from their own
country.
