MUST OBEY THE CHURCH.

Sensational School Decree Issuei to tho
Catholic Church of Ontario.
KINGSTON, Ont, April 10.-Arch-
bishop Cleary has issued circular let
ter to the clergy in his do
cese respecting the relation Of
Roman Catholics to the sepa-
rate schools. which has created a
decided sensation. The archbishop
charges the priests to call upon every
rate payer who deliberately chooses
to side with the enemy for the
gradual destruction of Catholic
education in this province and
announce to him in the name and
authority of the bishop that his action
is rebellion against the church, and that
the archbishop reserves to himself
alone, or, in his absenre, to the admin
istrator, all power of absolving such re-
bellious Catholic from his sins unless he
shall have signed written declaration
that he heartily repents of having in
iured the church and scandaliZed his
neighbors by his withdrawal of his
taxes from Catholic education, and shall
have promised to become a supporter
of the separate school at the earliest
opportunity. On the receipt of such
written declarat ton any priest of the
diocese may grant absolution.

ness Italian Fetes In May.
The following interesting story comes
from Rome: Preparations are being
made to render the opening of the ex-

the same time a national rifle contest,

taking a distinguished part in these
fetes. Through It's president and secre
tary it has addressed an invitation to
the members of the Associated Press OF

and share the festivities. 1t offers to
the representatives of the American
Press who may be able to accept the in

1t is hoped that many American news

opportunity to visit Rome as the guests
of the Italian Associated Press.

MYSTERIOUS CASE OF INSANITY
A Som and Daughter of n Kansas Farmer
Become Having Mnniacs.

Become Kaving Mnniacs.
A dispatch of the 10th from Wichita,
Kas., says: An inexplicable case OF in.
sanity is that of Simeon and Rose Boilen,
son and daughter of wealthy farmer,
near Derby. who arrived here at noon
FROM Dodge City in charge of the
sheriff. A week ago Rose left home
for California. Three days later word
reached the parents that she was i'll at
Ell Paso, Tex, and her brother Simeon
was sent after her. Nothing more was
heard Of them until yesterday, when the
sheriff received message from Dodge
City saying the pair were violently
insane. Simeon arrived lii shackles,
and his sisters face and eyes
were black and swollen, and her neck
horribly gashed where her brother
had struck and cut her. The two were
put off tue train at Dodge City, OH Tues
day, and handed over to the marshal.
Not realizing how violent they were
the officer failed to handcuh his prls-
oners. In few minutes Bedlam wac
turned loose in the neighbOrhoOd, and
it took large posse to Iecapture the
Bo;lens. T. ey were placed in the
same room and left but only tor a mo-
ment, when the shrieks of the girl
brought resculng party. On the floor
lay the sister, her brother beating aud
choking her and gouging her neck with
a sharp iron. The whole affair Is mys-
terious. In his more lucid intervals
Simeon claims that they were dragged.
