has again laid the hand of discipline
upon his clergy. Last autumn his re-

telling the clergy that a priest on cycle
was no fitting spectacle for the streets of
Paris. Now the Catholic clergy are shut
out from the theater. The archbishop
forbids any priest of the diocese of Paris
to leave his house without wearing a
cassock. Then, he says. that any cleric
appearing in cassock at a theater, even
a matinee, shall be liable to suspension.
The circus is allowed. 1t is the theater
