Mexican Ladies Organize Show For
the Relief of the Flood
Sufferers.
Nine Bulls of Celebrated Breed are
Sacrificed in the
Cause,
Spectacle Pronounced One Of the
GrandeSt Ever Witnessed at
the Capital.

CRY OF MEXICO, Oct. 20.-The revival
of bull fighting in the City of Mexico yes
terday was in the name of charity. A
committee of ladies of this capital with
Mrs. Diaz, wife of the president, at the
head organized the show for the benefit of
sufferers from floods in Spain. 1t was one
of the greatest spectacles of the Mexican
national sport ever witnessed. 1t is estl.
mated that 1910 % persons were present.
Nine bulls of a celebrated breed were
killed amid the braves of the spectators.
The animals were trained for the occasion
and many of the matadoers bad narrow
escapes. President Diaz and party left
the ring during the killing of the eighth
bull. The banderillos stuck into the bulls
were after the fight sold by peddlers at
extravagant prices. This was one of the
greatest fights Mexico has seen for years,
and the amount received for admission
fees is supposed to reach $4,000.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 20.-Cafholics are not
permitted TO join the Independent Order
of Good Templars.
For some time past Grand Chief Temp
lar Frazier and Grand Secretary Parker
have tried to get the Catholic clergy to
withdraw its objections to the order,
and have been corresponding with
Archbishop Katzer with that end
in view. Inasmuch as the Or
der had decided to allow members
to reveal the secret signs and passwords
to their pastors, under the seal of the con-
fessional, it was hoped that the Catholic
authorities would change their attitude
toward the order.
Archbishop Katzer. however, has posi-
lively refused to give his consent to Catho-
lies joining the order. In public card
he says:
Il owe it to myself and to the Catholics
in general to state that wrote to Mr..
Frazer that | could not permit the Catho-
lies to join the Good Templars."
