a LETTER of condemnation from Ri Rev. John
j. Kahn, bishop OF Wheeling, against the Knights
OF st. John, German Catholic society, was read
in all the Catholic churches there yesterday,
ordering all Catholics TO leave the society before
March l under pain of accommodation. Last
September the diocesan synod forbade round
dances and the sale of beer at entertainments by
Catholic societies. The Knights of ST. John dis.
obeyed the order. Whether members OF the order
will withdraw or defy authority is mooted qnes-
ton. Many talk de6antly, and the German press
characterize the bishops action as an outrage
upon the freedom of the German members OF his
church.

right, to be fOrewarned is to be fore

lures the unsusperting into the break

the whole thing, and tomatoes will
