Its Conception, Growth and Its Present Membership—lts First Home Presented by a Friend. Beuutiful New Home in Course ol Construction—The Daily Home-Life of “the Members of the Order. The Koatlne Followed Each Day. The mission in progress at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has at tracted wide attention to the clergymen who conduct the services, Rev, Fathers James O. S. Hunt ington, O. H. C., and Shirley Carter Hughson, O. H. C. With it there has come a decided interest in the brother hood of which the two visiting priests hre representatives, and many ques tions have been asked concerning the Order of the Holy Cross. The Order of the Holy Cross Is a re ligious community, consisting at pres ent, exclusively of priests, though the time may come when it will be pos sible to include laymen in the order. The community had its origin in New York city, in the year 1880. The first member to take the vows was the pres ent superior of the order, Rev. James O. S. Huntington. He was professed by .the Bishop of New York, Nov. 25, 1884. During its earlier years the order worked in the Mission Church of the Holy Cross, on the East Side of New York. At first this work was carried on in association with Rev. Father Hoehing, a German priest, who con ducted the services for the adult people of the mission, all of whom were Ger man immigrants. At 'the death of Father Hoehing, in 1885, the order took entire charge of the mission. Growth of Order. The second priest of the order was Rev. Father Sturges Allen, who was professed by the Bishop of N—v York on Deo. 1. 1888. Father Huntington and Futher Allen moved to New York and lived for some time in a hired house at No. 417 Pleasant avenue. In De cember. 1891, Rev. Henry R. Sargent wui admitted to the order as a novice. In the winter of 1891-2 Miss Lucretla E. Van Bibber of Westminster, Md., offered the order the house It notv oc cupies In that town, and on Aug. 2, 1892, the order took up It* residence [ there. In the spring of 1894 Father i Sargent was professed by the Bishop | of Tennessee at Sewanee and the or der had sufficient members to obtain corporate rights. The order has never had any lorn I cure of soula In Mnry- I land. Its external work being carried on in missions, retreats and conferences. During the last year the response to call for work carried the order Into twenty-six dioceses. The membership of Hie order now I consists of Rev. Fathers James O. H. Huntington, Kturges Alien, Henry R. Hargeiit, Hhlrl-y Carter Hughson. Frederick Herbert Mill and William Francis Muvo, Ufs ol the Order. A dietin< itva habit has been adopt ed traceable to W Augustlm of Hlpjoi. In Morlb Africa, In the beginning of the fifth century. Tile lie mi is svbiie, | with a big. k girdle, and a black wood - en ciuag. worn about ilw nr. k. and I testing H las bisast. In traveling g black habit of the same shape is worn. The order aims to follow a life in Which the worship of God within its own walls and work for souls abroad both find full exercise, and together absorb all the time and strength which are granted. At home the time table for an ordinary day is as follows: 5 a, m., rise; 5:30 to 6, meditation in chapel; 6, morning prayer and prime; 6:50 to 8, celebrations of the Holy Eu charist; 8, breakfast; 9:30, Terce and intercessions; 12 m., sext and none; 12:30, dinner; 1 to 1:20, recreation (in common); 4:45, evensong; 5:15 to 5:45, meditation; 6, supper; 6:30 to 7:15, recreation (in common); 8:30, compline; 10, lights extinguished. Silence on or dinary days is observed from terce till sext; from 1:20 to 2 p. m., and from compline until after breakfast. Connected with the order are the oblates, boys who have been given to the order by fiheir parents, fifteen celi bate priests and eighteen other priests associate. The Order's New Home. The new home of the order, now In process of construction, is at West Park. The building, a cut of which accompanies this sketch, stands, en closed from the weather, on a rocky ledge that furnishes a strong founda tion for it. The roof has been,covered with tar paper, a' sufficient covering for a year at least. There are to be six dormer windows in the roof, though these have not yet been put in place. In the basement are four chapels, ten feet square, each with an altar on the north side. They are reached by a passageway from the lower sacristy, which is just south of them. These chapels will be used principally for the early celebrations of the Holy Eucha rist. The cloister is immediately over the chapels, one hundred feet long and ten feet wide, entered from the main hall of the building. The main chapel oc cupies the entire north end of the building, alongside the cloister. There are no windows in the north side of the chapel, so that the altar will stand out In plain sight against the north wall. The chapel has an aisle, seven feet wide, on the east side, separated from the main portion by a row of brick pillars and arches. The chapel is thirty feet wide, forty-two feet long, and sixteen feet high. The Other Rooms. In a space south of the chapel, sepa rated from it by two brick arches with open-work grille, Is the women’s gal lery. The gallery is fifteen feet by twelve, and has a window in the west. The reception room is Just north of the principal entrance. The refectory, twenty feet wide by thirty feet long, takes up the entire south end of the building, beyond the cloister. The li brary, forty feet long by twenty feet wide, is just above the cloister and runs across the entire building from east to west. It will be lighted by eight windows. The common room for the professed fathers Is at the south end of the building, on the same floor as the li brary. The superior’s office Is in the middle of the east front of the build ing. over the cloister. The novices room Is over the room for the professed fulhers. The guests’ room is a counter part of the novices’ room In the north end of the building. The remainder of the upper floor is divided Into sleep ing rooms. ft Is estimated that *15,00 Is yet necenary to complete the building. For this money the order must depend upon contributions. —A friend of the humorist tells a story of the days when Mark Twain wo* a pilot on Ilia Mlaslsulppl which It la thought, haa never before |>-en pu M tailed, One day Mr. Oeinens missed his I boat.

Vienna, Dec. 17.—Much anxiety for the safety of St. Mark’s is manifested since the report of Engineers Manfredi and Marangoni was received showing that the entire structure is in an alarming condition of weakness. The foundations are bending and cracking, the walls are sinking and the ceilings of two of the vaults threaten to give way. The engineers recommend the immediate erection of scaffolding and propose a thorough restoration of the whole building, including reparation of the foundations - J* he J' 0l !^ PS ; ° f J he Campanile on Ju ‘y I *■ 1902, marked the beginning of St Marks troubles. The fall had been foreseen by architects, who had investigated the cracking of the walls of the structure, but the delay of the authorities proved fatal. The ru ins filled the whole square of St. Mark s, but fortunately the Cathedral escaped injury from the fall of the Campanile, though the wing of the angel which was on its apex was thrown down to the front door of the Cathedral, smashing the Bando col umn which was hurled thirty-five feet, Just escaping the column support ing the south angel of the Cathedral, a more serious disaster being narrow ly averted The foundations of the Campanile having been found to be sound the rebuilding was promptly begun, and the comef stone of the new Cam nan" a *rv, lai<i 'f, pr ? - 25, 1902- The rebuilding, it was estimated, would cost JpOO.OOO. The preliminary subscriptions amounted to *300,000, large rontrtbu tions being received from the United States. St. Mark’s is a building of the tenth and eleventh centuries.
