Catholic Knight.

The supreme lodge of the Catholic
Knights Of America held its biennial
session at Philadelphia, Tuesday Of last
week, and discussed matters of great
Importance concerning the order.
Archbishop Janssens who is supreme
spiritual director of the order, in his
address made the following remarks:
after giving them my thorough at
tentiOn, | have three observations to
make to you. There is danger that the
knights may drift away from the spirit
of their organization. The order was
Instituted for three purposes. First to
prevent Catholics from uniting with
any organizations or bodies that are un-
der the ban of the church; second. to
form union of members Of their faith
from all parts of the country; and third.
that it's members may secure cheap
and stable mode of insurance. In Ten
nessee the members seem to have set
aside their religious obligations and
look only at the insurance features. II
this principle is to prevail throughout
the country we had better drop the
word Catholic. This order was insti-
tuted to be a truly Catholic society.
Article ii of the constitution says Its
members must not be members Of any
order having oaths and rituals not sane
toned by the Catholic church. firmly
believe that Onetwentieth Of our men,
bers telOng to societies plainly forbid
den by our society. The law is not en-
forced. Such orders as the Odd Fellows,
knights Of Pythias and knights of HO-
nor are mere limitations Of FreemasOnry.
They all show the clOven hOOf. and tend
to lessen respect for religion. Catholics
who have joined them. have to my per-
sonal knowledge, lost their respect for
their religion. Many Catholics whom
have known to join these societies have
preferred to give up the church rather
than their society.
Again, members who do not observe
the Easter time rules of church by con
fpssion and communion should not b.
allowed to remain members. Let there
be rule established that every member
Immediately after Easter be put on hi
honor 10 state whether or not he Observ
ed those rules, and if he has not done 81
then take summary action"

Through the Weary Hours.

OF many a night, made double long
by its protractpd agony, the rheumatic
sufferer tOsses TO and fro on his sleep
less couch. vaiDly praying for tat rest
which only comes by fits and starts.
His ma'ady is one which ordinary medi-
cinps too often fail 20 relieve, but there
is ample evidence TO PROV that the Off
cient blood depurent, iloSteitrr's Sto-
mach Bitters, affords the rheumatic re-
liable means of relief. Check tn maia
dy in its incipient stases. when the fir>t
premOnitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years of
torture. Whatever be the rationale Of
the active influence of the Bitters upon
this malady, certain it is that no eri-
dence relating to its effect is more direct
and positive than that which relates to
its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, it de-
serves prOtracted. systematic trial. and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally OfficaciOus
in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred
diseases.

on the part of san Domingo and
John W. Foster, specisl commissioner.
on the part of the United States, and was
signed in Washington June A. Under
the terms of the Mckinley bill the

ly authorized by his government TO carry
on the negotiations and was granted
full power to sign the convention the
treaty will go into force without delay.

the free entry of sugar, molasses, cof-
fee. cocoa and hides is referred to and
in reciprocity for these concessions
the admission into Dominican ports
is authorized of goods enumer-
ated in two schedules which
are appended, the one schedule
without any duty and the other with
reduction Of 25 per cent. upon the
duty now levied. In the free schedule
are enumerated various breadstuffs,
potatoes, hay and oats. pork and fish,
cotton-5eed oil. agricultural imple-
ments, mining and mechanical tools
and material for the construction and
equipment of railways.
The admission into Dominican ports
of a large number of articles with a
reduction of % per cent. on the pres
ent duty is authorized by clause in
the treaty and schedule appended in
cluding cured and canned meats and
vegetables, manufactures of cotton,
iron and steel not included in the free
schedule, in MANUFACTURED leather, lum-
Der. and manufactures of wood, etc.
AS in the Brazilian treaty, this con-
vention stipulates that neither govern
ment shall by administrative regula-
tions adopted to protect its revenues
place any undue restrictions on the inn
porter nor impose any additional
charges in fees.
