BeIeium's Economic Abundance
Catholic Belgium is the most prosper
GUS nation in the world" says the
Pittsburg Observer, commenting on
the strike. Last year the Government
had surplus of 2OO,O00,OOO francs
SAC, 100000. When the LiberaESocial-
list government of M. Frere Orban
went out in 1888 they left deficit of
100000 francs, after having squan-
dered the enormous surplus bequeath-
ed to them by the Catholic govern
ment whom they had succeeded. In
Belgium today $4,000 fathers of fam
lilies, which represent 100000 bene-
ficiaries, are exempt from house taxes.

Cause of Joan Of Arc Progressing
The Congregation of Sacred Rites
alleged to have been wrought through
] the intercession of Blessed Joan of
] Arc. Her case is progressing salts
factorily, and it is expected that her
canonization will take place in 1914
In consequence of the opposition OF
the freemasons, the Catholics aban.
, doned the procession which was to
take place in her honor in Orleans on

To StrangIe Private Charities.-M
: Gustave Thery, advocate and protector
i of Catholic rights, informs the French
press that a project of law is actually
before the Chamber of Deputies for
the regulation of the establishments
of private charities. These establish.
ments are in nearly all cases Catholic
foundations, and the end in view is
by means of legal shutting, to make
it impossible to carry them on, and
thus obtain their destruction. The
prefecture is now making an inquiry
, into these establishments similar to
the inquiry which preceded the fran
, ing of the law suppressing the congre
cations.
