Catholic Balls Prohibited.
PHILADELPHIA, December Sth.-Arch-
bishop Ryan has announced that under the
DEGREES of the Baltimore Plenary Council
balls for charitable purposes are prohib-
tied. The announcement is severe blow
to the managers of the annual Catholic
charity ball, for which arrangements had

ceived subscriptions amounting to over

RAID ON INDECENT JOURNALISM.
New YORK. December Energetic re-
sistance is shown by some of the Roman
Catholic clergy to church fairs as a means
of helping on benevolent or religious en-
terprises. This resistance, with which the
Episcopalian Bishops are in full sympathy,
is followed up now with vigorous raid by
the Roman Catholic papers on novel read
ing and reporting in the daily press of
things the publication of which they are
persuaded cannot be justified either by good
morals or good taste. The Ffeemdn'S Jour
nal, quoting Junius Brownies recent re-
marks in Lippincott's Magazine, that we
cannot have pure journals while a large
portion of the public buy and read impure
ones, is moved to remark that there are
some exceptions to tn. rule governing the
management of newspapers. There are
few immense blanket sheets now in fashion
which require to be filled with "some-
thing" and it is very hard to fill them. The
excess of this evil of trash and impurity is
working its own cure. A small sheet,
filled only with brilliant and good things
and with most reliable advertising, will be
the journal of the future.

The Hop Market.
New YORK, December Sth.-The arrivals
of foreign hops are considerably ahead of
tAiS HLe1AibAbl that buC ilidl hCt Cdn ItdNlitN
absorb. Values move only in buyers'
favor when they move at all. There is not
sufficient pressure to bring about any rad
ical decline, but still there is competition
to make it a very difficult matter to obtain
price that will cover the cost abroad. 1t
is only in remote instances that over %
cents is secured for the finest German and
American hops. The bulk of the business
Is under that, with fair quality of German
selling at 23@ 26c Altmarks as low as 1Sc,
and Kents, England, at 21@22c. Pacific
coast crop of 1886, prime to choice, brings
27@30c; do fair to good, 239 25c crop of
1885, good to choice, 12@13c.
Lorillard and the Turf.
New YORK, December sth.-Club men
are talking about the strong probability of
the speedy temperance of the famous
cherry and black colors on the turf "A
member of the Monmouth Park Racing
Association said yesterday that Lorillard
remarked few days ago that hereafter he
should purchase yearlings at the annual
sales instead of breeding them, as there was
a far better chance of securing winners that
way for less money than it cost to raise
them. The fact, also, that young Pierre
Lorillard is collecting strong table gives
additional color to the belief that the
American winner of the English Derby is
preparing to join the royal sport once more.
