HISTORY OF THE ORDER.
FFanciscnns Celebrated the First
Mass in America.

EFaRciscaus celebrated the Tst
Mass in America.
The Franciseans, Grey Friars, or Minor
ties. a religious order in the Roman Cath
olic Church, was founded in 120S or 1903
by st. Francis of Assist. When the number
cf his disciples had increased to ten. he
gave them a rule in 1910, prescribing prin
cipally strict poverty and a union of the
active and contemplative life. The order
was orally confirmed by Pope Innocent III,
and a general chapter was conducted in
1918. 1000 brethren assembling, so great
had the order grown. Pope Honorius III,
by a bull. confirmed the order in 1928 as
the first among the mendicant orders, and
granted it the right to collect aims, con-
firmed the Church OF Pontiuncula, the
celebrated indulgence that was afterward
extended to all the churches of the Fran
ciseans and gave them several other priv
iIeges. These friars, for their VOW of char
ity. were liked by the people, and many
novices were thus secured. Forty-two
years after the death of the founder, the
number of Franciscans was estimated at
200 COO, owning 500 converts in twenty
three provinces.
DiscOrd in the Order.
During the life of the founder one party
desired a mitigation of the vow of poverty
and the other strenuously opposed any
change The strife continued among the
Franciscans from 1918, when Elias of Cor
toya, the first leader of the milder party,
was made vicar general of the order by
St. Francis himself until 1911 Leo X then
dividing them into two separate bodies.
The organizations were repeatedly strug
Cling in competition at the election of al
most every new vicar general, and even
the Popes assisted one or the other. The
miIder party, when defeated, invariably
submitted, but its opponent in several in
stances appealed from a decision of the
Pope to General Council. The lax
government Of the General Matteo di Aquas
| Spartas caused the formation of the Mi
! uorite Celestines in 1894, who, after the
death Of their protector Pope Celestine v
were in 1907 condemned as heretics and
suppressed. Some of them fed to France
| and established the Minorites of Narbonne
! Another body Of the Celestines, the Minor
! ite Clarenines, were tolerated until 1906
when they united with the Observants. In
! 1902 Paoletfi di Foligno was partially sue
| cessful in the attempt to unity the Fran
eiscans. His followers, because they
strictly adhered to the original rule, were

obeyed the milder rule Conventuals. Such
titles now designate the two great parties

CHANGE IN AUSTRALIAN MAIL.

A suggestion made TO the Post
Office Department at Washington
has horne fruit in an experimental
transfer of Australian mails from
local steamers at Honolulu to the
line from Vancouver, b. @. The
line from San Francisco and from
Vancouver have hitherto alter
mated in carrying mails, a steamer
leaving each city fourteen days
apart. In order to catch the
steamer from Vancouver, mail had
to be posted here four days before
sailing day and sent north. I'm
der the new arrangement, which
the department is likely to make
permanent, mail may be sent from
mere to Honolulu on any steamer,
and be transferred to the, steamer
from Vancouver at that point.
AS the time between San Fran
cisco ard Honolulu is one day less
than from Vancouver to the ISL
ands, letters may be sent from
here on steamer leaving even
one day later than the Canadian
sailing day, and still catch the
Australian mail. The same ar
rsngement will be made for mails
from Australia to San FRANCISCO.
