ANOTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS JUST WON AN EXALTED PLACE IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DOLPH MATED (SEATED TN FRONT AND WEARP7G BEARD), TIIE Nm AP'NMNiTT.) GENERAL THE CARMEUTB FATHERS, liEMBEKS TIIK ORDER Ai "i 111 UUSI'ICE OF ItOUNT AU.Mi.'l., MAtiAKA FALLS, ONTARIO, CANADA. He was chosen general, to succeed Father Bernardini, a few weeks ago. This Is the third time that an American has been elected to a prominent place in an important Roman Catholic order. Father Mayer, who won distinction in the Church as a professor in Marquette College, Minneapolis, is the bead of the English speaking and father John Baudinelli, who was the rector of St. Michael's Monastery, Hoboken, is the second In authority in the Passionist Fathers order.

The Carmelites are one of the four mendicant orders In the Philippines, where they own much property. This fact probably had much to with the elevation of an American to th place which was once occupied by Cardinal Gottl, the present of the Propaganda. The foundation of the order dates back to USC. when the Crusader Bert! instituted order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The history of the order, written by members, asserts that it was founded by the Prophet Elijah.

In the days of. the Carmelite order the members were compelled to wear a Striped habit. but the present garb of brown with a white clock has -en in use for many hundred years. For a long time they were hermits, keeping aloof from the habitat of man, but when Mahometans drove them Into Europe, in I century, they began to live in communities. The first Carmelites to come to the United were Fathers Cyril Knoll and Xavler tluber, who from Strassburg, Bavaria, on the invitation or Bishop Miege, of Kansas, and settled at Leaven worth.

Other communities were formed lI Englewood, N. Pittsbiirg, Paducah. and Niagara Kails, and the Order sooi became an important the Chun fa The New-York foundation of the order Is the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, In East between First an I Strand over which the Rev. P. Southwell presides.

At the lime of the Dr. McGlynn controversy In the parish the Carmelites came from Dublin and founded the new church. They worked with their usual success In the new church, an 1 organized a mission with headquarters at TarrytoWn. The headquarters of the order In this country are at Niagara Falls, A glance at the place show that the seven rules by which the brotherhood was governed in its faily days have been greatly relaxed. Then the Carmelite lived In an unfurnished cell and abstained from all the comforts which seemed to be highly prized by others.

The Hospice of Mount Carmel Is a beautiful modern structure, with reading room fine dining room and well appointed sleeping apartments. Here many of the members of the order live, while others occupy the handsome monastery near by. There Is a "reformed" branch of the order who never wear shoes and are known as the barefooted monks.
