THE CARMELITE FRIARS
AMERICAN PRIEST APPOINTED HEAD OF
THE ORDER IN ROME-ORIGIN
OF THE BROTHERHOOD.

The activity of the Roman Catholics OF the
United States. not only in building UP their
Church in this country, but also in giving It
financial aid for its development abroad has
been recognized again by the highest authori-
ties Of the Church at Rome. An American cit1-
zen who has for years been a faithful worker
in the cause of the Church. the Very Rev. Plus
Rudolph Mayer. has been appointed General OF
the order of Carmelites. Father Mayer came
To this country from Bavaria in his early boy
hood and received his education in American
schools. Soon after his ordination priest, in
1879. he joined the CarmeliJe Order and be-
cause of his zeal and ability he soon became
conspicuous figure. and after holding several
smaller offices was chosen Provincial for the
United States. He held this position for two
terms. six years. and was succeeded by Father
A J. Kreidt Father Plus worked successfully
for his order prior. professor and mis-
sionary and late in 1901 was called to Rome
as assistant general for the English and Ger
man speaking Carmelites all over the world.

the time may when II becomes neceS-
sary for the city of New-York to take from
the Hudson. at point slightly above Pough-
keepsie, five hundred thousand gallons of water
daily, it will be seen that such demand on
the flow Of the river may have serious effect
on the limit of saline influence. and in this con-
nection it may be said that it will hereafter be
the policy of the federal government to set
apart for forest and water supply purposes
certain wild areas in which the many tribu-
taries of the Hudson rise especially in the Adj
rondacks. At these points will be established
compensation reservoirs. in which may be con-
served the surplus waters of early spring.
with a view to maintaining an equable flow in
the lower river during periods when, under
natural conditions, the river would be low and
the salt water would therefore inevitably extend
further upstream
Important and far reaching as are the objects
Of the Investigations now being conducted 1t
must be appreciated that many OF them may
not be attained until far into the future. but
it has long been the policy OF the federal gov
eminent TO procure and compile the greatest
possible amount of information relating to the
physical conditions existing in various parts OF
the country in order that they may be available
In time of Immediate need. This policy has been
especially well exemplihed in the Geological Sur
yey and the photographic Office and the ex-
tensive data available when it became necessary
to establish an irrigation system under the pro-
visions of recent Congressional enactment well
served to demonstrate the advisabiLity Of this
policy.
When the current investigation. which is be-
ing carried on under the immediate supervision
of the Resident photographer, Marshall Ora
Leighton shall have been completed. the Hydro
graphic Office will be prepared to furnish to
Congress or to the State of New-YCrk mass
of information in regard to the water resources
and conditions in New-YOrk State of the most
comprehensive nature and OF incaIculabe value.

women to Go Arm.d.

A bill will soon be introduced in the
Virginia legislature whereby the
women of the state will be placed
among those exempted from the opera
lions of the present statute in the same
manner as a policeman, constable and
other officers; that is, they will be
allowed to carry weapons, says an ex-
change.
The women, in view of many GRIM
inal assaults recently, are becoming
expert pistol shots. Recently a gun
club was formed in Roanoke, and
regular meetings are held for rife
practice.
A young lady school teacher at Suf-
folk, who has to ride some distance
in the country to attend her school,
carries a pistol regularly strapped to
her side, and there are other evidences
of disposition on the part of the
Virginia women to carry arms.

A He.rtrendins Sight.

Although we may read the account
in histories, also stories about the
heartrending scenes at the time OF
the Commune in Paris, yet it is sell
dom so forcibly brought to our views
as in the personal "reminiscences Of
John Russell Young, issued under the
title of Men and Memories Mr.
Young says:
81 saw fair young woman walking
between two soldiers and followed by
a large crowd crying, Shoot her!
Shoot herr She was comely, sedate
her pale lips tightly set, with no color
in her cheeks, but firm, calm and
scornfu1. She had gone up to an Of
f1cer and fired at him. Yet there was
10 murder in her face-only the ia
naticism and passion that seemed to
have swept over this strange, fasci-
mating people-perhaps revenge for
some dead lover. Well, those pale
lips will never again be kissed in
love and tenderness, for as 1 left her
she was marched into the place and
shot.

IrrAlrs POPULATIONS INCREASING.

years been on the decline, but latest

the death and birth rates being nearly
equal. The returns OF the recent CEN
sus in Italy are now published and
hey show a gratifying though not ex-
-raordinary growth of population in
the peninsula, despite the large emil
grafton and the hard times which have
prevailed there in late years. In
round numbers the population of Italy
is now 81, SOC. 900. That is an increase
of more than 100000 in the last 20
years. That is not 4 large increase.
but it is, on the whole. satisfactory. 1t
is not. of course. the whole increase OF
the Italian race. In these 20 years
more than 1000, 900 Italians have emf
grated to other lands. The actual
growth of the race has, therefore. been
more than 100000 in 20 years, or
more than 1 per cent a year.
This does not, however. confirm the
common idea that the Italians are an
exceptionally prolific race. The growth
of other nations has been proportion
ately more rapid. That of France has
not been. That of Russia has been eff
fected by conquest and wholesale an
nexation. That of the United States
has been due to enormous immigra-
ton, as well as to high birth rate.
But while Italy in the 18th century in
creased from 1000, 900 to 80, SOC. 900. or
only little more than doubled. Great
Britain grew from 16 1000, 900 to Al ,0OO..
900 and Germany from $4,000, 900 to
1000, 900, and each of these countries
suffered as great a loss from wars as
Italy and considerably greater loss
through emigration.

4 Prohibition Discussion That Almost
Ovsrtaxes Credulity.
A girl in Maine, who is a church
member, recently officiated at the
ceremony of naming her uncle's
yacht, and, being an ardent Prohibi-
zionist, used a bottle of water instead
Of bottle of wine. Curiously enough.
however, the church of which she was
a member took the view that the bot
made some weak young man drunk,
whereasit would have harmed nobody
had she used it in the, ceremony.
Therefore it voted to censure her for
putting temptation in the path of a
young man. A delightful touch TO
this story, which is not told as a joke,
though it reads like one, is that the
young woman successfully appealed
from the action of the church on two
grounds-first, because out of the mil
lions of bottles of wine in the world
the church had failed to designate the
particular bottle which she might
have used, and, second, the church
had not proved either that the wine
was drunk by young man or that a
young man was drunk by the wine. In
rebutta1 she asserted that the wine
was drunk by an old man, who, be-
ing a seasoned Prohibitionist, was
therefore able to stand it; and she
challenged the church council to dis
prove her assertion

Did All He Could.

In 1874. while Florida was still ter
ritory, a man who had been judge in
one of its circuits, canvassed one of the
senatorial districts as a candidate for
the territorial senate, and was cheered
by the promise of the little French
man, living in one of the counties in
the district to do ".ail he could for
him. Not a solitary vote, however
was cast for the judge in that county,
and he seized the first opportunity
thereafter to tax the Frenchman to
false promises.
'Sar,'' said the Frenchman, very
much offended, Il tell you no lie; ]
travel over dis country three, four, five

Almost Every r eligion Has Representatives This.
- The Most Cosmopolitan City the World.

The most cosmopolitan city in the
world is Constantinople. 1t Is the
seat of the Sheik-ul-Islam, the eccles-
iastical head OF the Moslem faith, and
the seat of the Patriarchs of the Greek
and the Armenian churches, and Of the
chief rabbi of the Jews. Every other
religion has it's representatives among
the population. 1t is claimed that
there are in Constantinople representa-
tives of every nation and every tribe
upon the globe, and that every Lam
guage is spoken 1t is common to see
signs written in eight or nine Ian
guages on the fronts of the retail
shops. These races and religions are
all more or less antagonistic. There
is nothing to unite them Each sus-
poets the other of treachery. They
have no relations, except in trade, and
in their commercial dealings they are
all trying to cheat one another.
There is multitude of priests, di-
vided into classes and ranks. The
lowest is the muezzin, who is a sort
of sacristan or sexton at the mosque.
He calls the faithful to prayer, but
takes no part in the devotional exer-
cises- Sofas are theological students,
young preachers who make up a fanat-
ical and turbulent class and are the
cause of most of the disturbances in
Constantinople, as the students of uni
versities often are in other European
countries. Next to them in rank are
the cadis, who exercise a temporal as
well as spiritual Jurisdiction, acting as
notaries, justices of the peace, judges
of the courts and look after the finan-
cial affairs of the different parishes
and religious orders There are sew
eral religious brotherhoods and or
ders like the dervishes. The moulahs
or regular priests, who conduct the
services at the mosques, may be com
pared with the ordinary clergy in our
country. One grade above him is the
khodja, or professor of theology, who
is found daily at the mosques with a
copy of the Koran and other ortho-
dox authorities before him expounding
the faith of the Mohammedans to
groups of students and others who
gather around him sitting cross-legged
upon the floor.

Charles A. Roux Of New York, whose
share in his fathers estate was life
annuity paid in monthly installments
of $500, sold his Inheritance until 1915
to money lender for 81, 700 cash.. the
amount to dispose of being $40, 700.
Then he went to law about it, claiming
that he was intoxicated when he
signed the papers. The court re-
voked the power Of attorney grant

a regular circuit The meetings were
held in the schooIhouse or at the old
brick academy when the weather was
bad, and In a. pine grove at the south

days. The first church was built at

pastor came to the town in 1912, when
it was known as Wolcottville. This
was the Rev. Samuel w. Law, and
his congregation numbered about sew
enty members. Toward the end of
the following year, when the Rev.
George Taylor was in charge of the
congregation, the first church was
built, at a cost of some $4,000. The
little building was afterward used as
a town hall.
The present church. an imposing
brick structure, was dedicated under
the direction of Bishop Andrews in
1898. 1t replaced brick church which
