SUCCESS IN ARKANSAS
OF BENEDlCTlNE ORDER.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The Chronicle
says:
The Catholic Order of St. Benedict,
With Headquarters at Einsedeln, swift
erland, is perfecting plans for the
erection of a. foundation of the Bene-
dietine Order a. Chica go Heights.
The plans, so far as can be ascer-
tanned. contemplate the erection OF
buildings to cost a total of not less
than s1,5O0,000, the ensemble to be
patterned after the mother house IN
the old country. AS is customary with
the Benedictine Order, the work OF de-
fraying the expenses Of the building
will fall upon such members of the
order as may be assigned to the new
monastery.
Though this may seem to be an in
the history of the Benedictines in this
country gives ample proof that the
project VIII Dt- I'd Iti ouL HI F'FiS ~
tail
At present there is but one founda-
ton in America from the Einsedeln
Monastery It is located in the Maya
zine range of mountains near Paris,
Ark In 1892 few poor monks, bare
footed and with all their earthly pos
sessions contained in the packs on
there and built humble dwelling
place and small schoolhouse.
and with the proceeds Of this the
monastery was soon enlarged to a
somewhat pretentions frame building,
Vineyards were planted on the noun
tain side, fields We're sown in the
valleys, and a new stone building to
cost 81 900. 900 was soon started. This
building has now been completed and
the old monastery and outbuildines
are used for various subsidiary pur-
poses
In addition TO the sawmills the
monks now operate a series of fina
nuarries of the best sandstone. The
sale OF wine from the vineyards alone
more than defrays the expenses Of
the foundation and the Abbey of ST.
Benedict is rapidly becoming one of
he wealthiest Catholic foundaticns in
the country.
All this is due TO he tireless energy
of a few monks who came bar footed
and penniless 10 this country less
than Is years ago With this record for
perseverance, and thrifty management,
if is easily seen that the new iect
for the new monastery on Chicago
Heights will probably be carried ont
to the mnutest detail Certain of he
monks from the Arkansas foundation
who are familiar with he country and
Is GUS ms will be assigned TO the
work along with those coming direct
rom Switzerland.
