character which denotes strength This state of affairs has been existent for two or three weeks past. The real estate dealers at first feared that 1t was but temporary resumption of activities, and have said nothing of 1t. However, the market continues active. Property values are gaining in strength daily. It is hard to find houses for rent. Owners of prop erty are not at all anxious to sell and an instance is known of the owner of large store building in the downtown section refusing to divide his store into two parts in order to make it rent easier. Many people will beg for that location before another month"; he is quoted as saying when his agent made the proposal.
 Inquiries are being received daily by every real estate man in the city. Peo- pie in northern states want to remove to Ala bama- They are asking for informa- ticn relative to farming lands here. Busi- ness men who contemplate removing their business to the south are asking for loca- tions in Birmingham.

s5oTH ANNIVERSARY.

This year will mark the 350th ami
versary of the founding of the first
Catholic church in Florida by the Span
iards in what is now the city of st.
Augustine. The parish of st. Angus
tine, by far the oldest in the land, has
had many vicissitudes in consequence
of frequent changes of flag. The first
colonists came from Spain in 1865,
more than half century before the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The
Church of St. Augustine was fully or
ganized at that early period, and it is
it's unique privilege to have full set
of records of baptisms, marriages, ETC.,
from the year 1894. Right Rev. Mi
chael ]. ]. Curley, D. D., is the present
bishop of st. Augustine, and although
he has occupied the see only since
June, 1914, and is one of the youngest
bishops in the United States, he has
infused new spirit of progress into
the affairs of the diocese and indica.
tions are that his wise direction com
bined with youthful energy will re.
store st. Augustine's to some of its
old time fame as center of Cathol
icity in this country.

GERMAN CARDINALS.
Protest to the Pope Against Mgr.
RaudriIlart's Book.

A Press Association cablegram dat
ed Rome, July %, says:
Cardinals Won Hartmann and Won
of Cologne, and Cardinal Won Bettin-
ger, Archbishop of Munich, have ad-
dressed the Pope, strongly protesting
against a publication which has ap-
peared in Paris under the title Of "War
and Catholicism" This publication
was compiled by Monsignor Baudril-
lart, rector of the Catholic Institute
at Paris, with an introduction by Car
dinal Annette, Archbishop of Paris, and
relates to alleged German atrocities,
chiefly against the church.
Cardinals Won Hartman and Won
Bettinger deny that such atrocities
ever occurred and declare that Car
dinal Mercier was never imprisoned,
as asserted in the article in question,
and they say: "If the French and
Belgian clergy continue such a cam.
paign, they will force the German
Catholic clergy to have recourse to
reprisals, giving he world an unedi
flying spectacle of Christian brother
hood"

Church MOurnS Death
of Archbishop Quigley

Most Rev. James Edward Quigley,
Archbishop of Chicago, died in Roch-
ester, New York at the home Of his
brother, Joseph M. Quigley, chief Of
police in Rochester. The death of
Archbishop Quigley has been expect
ed for some time, and it was only
his extraordinary vitality that en-
abled him to overcome the many sink
ing spells to which he had been SUBJ
jected within the last few weeks.

ported as being unconscious a great
portion of the time within the last
two weeks previous to his death,
which resulted from paralysis and
pneumonia. Present with the Arch

cese, DR.. T. ]. Conley, his physician
from Chicago, Father Quigley, neph-
ew of the Archbishop and the men,
bers of the Quigley family.
The body of the lamented archbish-
op lay in state Sunday and Monday
in st. Patrick's cathedral, Rochester,
guarded by members of the knights
of Columbus, and Knights of St. John.
Late Monday afternoon the body was
taken to Chicago where funeral SER
vices were conducted on Tuesday:
The body was accompanied by dele
cation of Knights of Columbus and
many prominent Catholics in Roch-
ester and throughout the state of
New York. Among those present at
the funeral services was, Monsignor
Bonzano, Apostolic delegate to the
United States.

Cause of Religious

tion. carefully forgetting the part
they had played in the first stages of
the incident.
Throughout Mexico there are hun
dreds of these colonies, perhaps thou
sands, each with similar history.
1t seems strange that these people,
ordinarily possessed of good common
sense and honorable intentions,
should permit themselves to run such
awful risks because of unnecessary
fanaticism. 1t must be that they are
entirely ignorant of the great political
power of the Catholic Church in Mex
leo, of its great work in defending and
protecting the Indian population from
the cruel enforcement of despotic
laws of the civil government under
Spain.
The constant recurrence of such
episodes have filled the minds of the
Catholic clergy in Mexico with fear
and suspicion. They think that the
principal object of Americans is to
disestablish and overthrow the Cath
olic Church.
Americans and the American gov
ernment will always be unpopular in
Mexico, and with the Mexican peo-
pie, so long as the Catholic Church
and its clergy remain dubious and
uncertain of their own positions and
liberties at the hands of Americans.
TO this intensely Catholic country the
United States has taken no pains
whatever to select able and clear
headed Catholics as diplomats and
consuls. Such men could, and we
have no doubt would, in very short
time create a revolution Of feeling

FAMOUS ROSARY.

The Sisters of the Santa Maria In
stitute, Cincinnati, were presented
with famous rosary, which has at
tracted much attention, and for which
they have received number of offers,
one person offering to pay for it any
price that the Sisters would ask. It
is the rosary used by the Empress Car
lotta, wife Of the ill-starred Emperor
Maximilian, and was secured in Mex
leo a number of years ago by Mrs.
Eleanor Childs Meehan, a friend of
the institute. The medal, which bears
the imprint of the Virgin of Guadalupe,
and is much larger than 2O.dollar
gold piece, is of the purest gold, as is
the chain that holds the beads. The
gold cross was missing from it when
it was found by Mrs. Meehan, after all
trace of it had been lost for so many
years. The cross was replaced, and for
long time Mrs. Meehan, who travels
much, took it with her on all her jour-
neys. 1t has touched all the famous
shrines of Europe, and has been
blessed by the late Pontiff, Leo XIII.

Perhaps the best analysis that has
yet been given to the American peo-
Pile, as to the reasons for the religious
strife between Protestants and Cath
olics in distinctively Catholic COM
munities in Mexico. appeared in an
editorial of the Daily Sentinel" of
Brownsville, Texas, under date of
June II, 1915, as follows:
"Protestants who do not discuss re-
ligion outside of themselves and are
tolerant and considerate toward
Catholics can live anywhere in Mex
leo in the midst of the most devout
Catholics, in the shadow of the Cath
olic Church edifice, and be neighbors
of the priests, and never have the
least offense offered them or receive
any treatment other than kindness
and good fellowship, but this seems
to be impossible for Protestants. A
few months or year at most, IL
there be minister among them, they
commence to criticise the Catholic re-
ligion, then to criticise the Catholic
clergy and then to proselyte amongst
the members of the Catholic faith,
which generally means private de-
nunciation of the Catholic faith and
of the Catholic clergy, and finally
come public denunciations and TRADES
from the pulpit against Catholics and
priests. The result of this is always
the same. The priest turns on them
and retaliates; his loyal followers
take 1t up; war is declared upon the
American colony. Every American in
the community becomes involved and
the whole force of the Catholic
Church, and of the civil authority is
turned against them, they are insult
ed, offended and roughly handled !;
they are arrested upon petty and Sc
rious charges; thrown into Jail and

church in America. He has made
