Burris sustained fracture of the
right shoulder few days ago by fall
ing through trap door at the foot Of
the stairway leading to the Opera
House auditorium. The stairway was
dark at the time and Miss Burris did
not know of the danger. The unfor-
tunate lady will be remembered as
having been associated with the
ladies of the Homeopathic Hospital in
the publication of the Woman's Edition
of Every Evening few months ago.
The comedy "Hicls'ry FARM was
given by local talent at the Opera
House last night to very large audi
ence, and was one of the most pleasing
entertainments of the kind given here
for some time. Mrs. M. E.. Barnard,
William Brady, Miss Mabel Taylor,
Gilpin Massey and John Parvis were
especially clever in their respective
characters. Mr.. Budd was very good
as the villain of the sketch. and Mr..
Pool and Mr.. Parker also took their
parts WELL Mr.. Brady made quite a
hit as Lawrence McKeegan, an Irish
alderman, and both his singing and
acting was exceptionally clever. ga
supper followed the entertainment.
The music by the Middetown orches-
ira was a pleasing feature of the even

Another Movement on Foot to Have the
Case Reopened and the Ban of the Church
Removed from the Secret Society.
New Brighton, N. Y, Dec. Hon.
James l. Mulligan postmaster here,
recently chosen provisional chairman
Of Committee on Appeal organized to
take some decisive step toward having
the pronunciamento that all Catholics
must sever their relations with the
Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows
and the Sons of Temperance, under
pain Of accommodation, set aside, is
now preparing an address to be pre-
sented to Monsignor SatOlli, asking for
formal reopening of the case of the
Knights of Pythias, that the Catholic
members thereof may have an opportu
nifty to present their side of the case.
Mr.. Mulligan believes that proper
presentation of the case to Monsignor
Satolli will result in the raising Of the
ban against the Knights, and he asks
all Catholics throughout the country
to forward their names and address
to him, that they may be attached to
the petition which will be addressed to
the Papal Delegate
In an interview Mr.. Mulligan said:
81 believe all the Catholics in the
Knights of Pythias will cooperate in
this movement; | believe that Mon
signnr Satolli will give them hearing,
and l am sure that we will be able to
prove convincingly that there is moth
ing in the constitution, bylaws or rit-
ual OF the order that will prevent man
from being good Catholic and a pa
triotic citizen.
