There are in the United States only two

1.000 of these monks, who have taken upon
themselves voluntarily the arduous life ot
prayer and solitude, contemplation, labor and
priva ion.
The order was founded in the year 400 by
St. "Bernard, on much the same plan as It
exist* toddy, but the demands were so great
that the discipline was for a time relaxed,
until, in 1100, it was restored oy the abbey
of Citeaux. and the name Cistercian monks
was adopted. Some years later the rules
were again modified. Finally, at the abbey
of La Trappe. in the year 1500, the influence
of Abbot Ruaz reinstated the Etrict rule of
former years, and from that time forward
it has remained, the monks bearing the name

come and go with unvarying monotony. Only
a few miles away, however, in the little towns
of New Hop* and Coon Hollow, large fac
tories are noisily engaged in the product for
which Kentucky Is famous all the world
over. But the residents of the neighborhood
seldom see or hear anything of the buey
nionks, and it la only when the big be!l tol'-a
that they are made aware of anything un
usual in the monastery.
The return to France of Father EdwarJ, the
first abbot consecrated In the monastery,' ne
cessitated the selection of a succeassr, and
the Rev. Edmund Obrecht. O. C. P., whs
elected by the- professed monks to fill the
vacancy. Tb« professed monks are those who
have been in the monastery for seven years
and who have taken the final vows of tie
order.
Consecration of the new abbct took place In
the chapel of the abbey, and the blessing was
conferred by the Right Rev. William Georga
McCtoakey, bishop of Louisville. The mon
astery, for once, had lo«t its simple charac
ter, and the vaulted chapel was fesioooed
with evergreens swung in long loops irom
the arches and pillars and caught up In a
knot Just in front of the altar, where also
rested several American flags.
UNDER STARS AND STRIPES.
The Stars and Stripee were In evidence else
where in the chapel and without the walls,
and seemed to indicate that, despite the secln
slvenefs of the order, the monks were not
without some knowledge of current affaire.
In the chapel, not ordinarily open to the
world at large, s:me curious contrasts were
seen. The smooth shaven monks In their
gown* and cowls of coarse stuffs elbowed in
and out among laymen and churchmen In
broadcloth. From an overhanging gallery
women in ir.odlah gowns, roar cheeked with
the unusual excitement, stood side by side
wrth wives of Kentucky moonshiners, dressed
in bright cotton fabrics and the conventional
sunbonaet oX the mountain folk. Wcmen are
rigorously excluded from the monastery, but
these had gained an entrance by climbing an
outside wall and at the risk nt torn clothes
and scratched faces they managed to view
the ceremony from a point of vantage.
Tha ceremony itself was impressive. At a
little after 10 o'clock the bell ceased tolling
and a long line of black-robed acolytes en
tered the chapel, bearing candies, which
threw a weird glow upon the wan faces of
the monks when they went to take their
Vlaces a few moments later. Following tha
acolytes was the bishop. In a trailing robe of
purple, and the abbot in a gown of spotless
whi^> that shimmered and shone In the lieht
of ue waxen tapirs. Then appeared the ab
bots of the Benedictine and Cistercian or
ders, and lastly the monks of Q-ethsemane
i banting a weird hymn that rose and lost It
self in the vaulted roof.
Reading the papal decree and the confession
of faith and the examination of Father
Obrecht were first gone through with. Then
th» new abbot advanced to the steps of tha
altar, Bnd. prostrating himself, offered up a
fervent prayer for blessing on his work.
PENITENTIAL, HYMNS.
From the rear of the chapel came the sub
dued voices of the monks chanting peniten
tial hymns, while the celebration of the pon
tifical mass and the "ProN'obls" wereaolemnly
read. Then the new abbot knelt before the
altar, and. amid the swelling straits of tha
'Te Deum,"' Bishop McCloskey pronounced tha
bepediction.
An interesting feature of the service was
the conferring of the mitre, giving the abbot
the power of a bi«hop, and U»« crozier, or
shepherds crook, having referenoe to his po
sition at the head of the fold. The crczter
presented to Father- Obrecht la an elaborate
affair, composed of more than 7,000 pieces of '
wood. It was put together by Fatfrer Tim
othy, a monk In the abbey, who spent tea
years on the work.
Final services consisted in placing upon the
argot's finger a ring, signifying that thence
forward he wa3 wedded to "the order. Then
the bell ringers seat forth their Joyous peal
whicji echoed and reechoed for miles and bore
tidings that for one da?, at least, the monks
of Gethsemane had givqn themselves over to
rejoicing.

DINGLEY IN DEFENSE.
HE EXCUSES THE "OPEN DOOR"
POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION
To Be Applied to the Philippines
Only When I'nder Military Rule
—Imports From All Countries
Admitted on Even Terms.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.— 1n an In
terview Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee, tries to explain
what Is meant by the "open door"
policy which the administration pur
poses to observe with respect to oom
mcroa in the Philippines. Mr. Ding
ley has gone over the whole matter
with the president. His views ar« sup
posed to be in accord with those held
by Mr. McKinley.
"The phrase, 'op#n door policy,' which
is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers," said Mr. Dingiey,
"means simply equality of treatment
and not free trade. As applied to the
dependency of a country it simply
means that imports from oil countries
are to be admitted on the same terms
as imports from the mother country.
As applied to the Philippines it would
mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are to
be admitted at the same rates of duty
as imports from the United States.
"Of course, this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines if they
should be admitted into the Union with
a territorial form of government, be-

cause the constitution provides that
duties shall b« uniform within the
United States, unfleas there should be
an amendment to the constitution per
i iritting this.
"Whether it would be possible to ap
ply this policy to the Philippines after
they should become a part of the ter
ritory of the United Staites under that
provision of the constitution which au
thorizes congress to *make needful
rules and negotiations respecting the
territory or other property of the
United States,' I aan not prepared to
fay. It Is noticeable, however, that In
the resolution providing for the an
nexation of Hawaii, pawed at the last
session of the present congress, it was
provided that the Hawaiian tariff
should continue in force until congress
should othesnwtee determine,
"It is to be borne In mind, however,
that the present talk about an open
door policy for the Philippines la in
tended to apply entirely to those isl
ands wlille und«r a military adminis
tration, which wotdd be permissible,
and not to apply to thos* Islands after
tr-ey shall have been formally recog
nized by congress aa a part of the Unit
ed States.
"A very vital point as to revenue is
involved in the possible admission of
Porto Rico. Cuba and the Philippine*
into the Union as territories or states.
These tropical islands are capable of
producing every pound of sugar and
many other tropioal products that the
United States consume. If they should
tx> admitted into the Union In such a
manner as to extend our tariff over
them and thereby allow the free im
portation of their products we should
picbably lose not less than $60,000,000 of
revenue annually, which would be a
17
very serious situation under existing
conditions.
"All of these difficulties only serve to
emphasize the eoundness of the sug
gestion that the true policy for the next
year is to continue the military ad
ministration of whatever Islands fall
into our hands and in the meantime
make such a thorough investigation of
every phase of the serious problems
which must be met, which will proper
ly prepare us to meet them with wise
legislation."

Double Wedding Programme Spoil,
ed by One of the Hri <!**«.
CARLYLE, 111., Nov. 26. — Cupid
played some peculiar pranks near
O'Fallon, west of this city. Fred and
Herman Boettscher, brothers, had been
paying attention to Misses Lulu and
Sarah Stone. A douible wedding was'
arranged. Both young men had fitted
up comfortable houses for their wives
to-be. Many guests were assembled
to witness the weddings and a sump
tuous dinner was ready In another
room. The Rev. Mr. Sweeney, pastor
of the Methodist church in Trenton,
was there to tie the nuptial knots.
The minister had taken his position
to officiate, the wedding march was
being played, and the two couples had
entered the room, when Miss Lulu
Stone created a sensation by announc
ing her intention of remaining single.
AH efforts to persuade her to proceed
with the ceremony were of no avail.
She simply did not want to get mar
ried, and that settled it. Herman and
Sarah were married, just the same.
