Mission Church, for SpanIards and
itaiians.-The movement started by
the Rev. Joseph r. Agrella, rector of
ST. MichaePs Church, Brooklyn, N. Y,
to hold special services for the Span
ish Catholics of the waterfront Sec
ton in the vicinity of Fulton Street,
has met with great success. The at
tendance has grown to such number
that it has been found necessary to
remove the chapel from it's original
home at 81 Fulton Street to 38 Front
Street Originally intended for the
Spanish Catholics only, the Rev. Jo-
seph R. Agrella saw the necessity of
holding services for the Italians of
the vicinity For this purpose he
placed the Rev. P. Spani, his assist
ant, in charge of the mission. Father
Spani speaks English, Spanish and
Italian with remarkable f1uency, so

The first Mass was celebrated at the
new home of the chapel on August IS
and was largely attended by both the
Spanish and italian Catholics. Con-
fessions are heard on every Sunday
and holiday before the Masses.
Remarkable Painting by Priest.-A
remarkable painting by a priest artist
has been on exhibition recently in the
City of Mexico. The picture, which is
by Father Gonzalo Carrasco, repre-
sents the introduction of Christianity
into South America The scene is
laid along the banks of stream, and
the priest, surrounded by his attend
ants, is seen standing in barge
preaching to the Indians on the bank.
Speaking of the picture, josef
Kleitisch, a Hungarian artist now re-
siding in Mexico, says: Undoubtedly
the most striking feature of the work
is the remarkable precision the artist
has displayed. The vast scope of the
picture did not make him neglect the
slightest detail, and it is easily seen
what deep love of the subject guided
his inspiration"
Buffalo CathedraI.-Work in connec-
ton with the erection of the new
Catholic Cathedral at Delaware Ave
nue. and Utica Street, Buffalo, N. Y,
is progressing rapidly. Bishop Cotton
has moved into his new home at No.
1895 Delaware Avenue, and the house
recently occupied by the Bishop on
Utica Street is now the permanent
home of the Rev. James McGloin, rec
tor of the Chapel of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. Bishop Colton's new home ad-
joins the site of the Cathedral. The
Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament will
be moved within month and the
cement building on the corner will be
RACED to make way for the Cathedral.
Oldest House in America.-The old
est house in America is in st. Angus
tine, Fla. In 1854 it was built by the
monks of the Order of St. Francis, and
the whole of the solid structure is
composed of coquina, a combination of
sea shells and mortar, which is almost
totally indestructible. When Francis
Drake sacked and burned the town
this was the only house left in the
trail of destruction.

one exception, Klaw & Erlanger, have
expressed the desire to cooperate with
National Federation for clean stage
and the elevation of it's tone and
character.
