This is the same oath required Of every

among the Catholic professors in the Ger

The oath makes not the slightest con
cession to the liberalizing tendencies o.

tenets, traditions and doctrines Of tn.
church.
There Is no halfway ground, and a.

accommodation
The letter containing the oath, which
makes concrete the position taken by

RIVER TRAVEL LIGHT.
Ice in Potomac Intimidates Usual
Home-Goers.

Travel from this city to points along
the river has not been as heavy this
Christmas as i'm previous years.
Many who would go to their homes in
Maryland and Virginia. to spend holidays
with parents. brothers and sisters, are
afraid to take the chance of the river
freezing so hard as to necessitate the
withdrawal from service of the river
steamers before they could get back to
this city.
Each year many residents of this city
who came here from the Potomac river
counties Of Maryland and Virginia, make
lit practice to revisit their homes for the
Christmas season. The coming Of ice SO
early in the winter is causing them much
disappointment.
1t has been six years since ice made be-
fore Christmas. They have been able. to
go home heretofore with a certainty of
being able to get back without difficulty.
A large number, rather than be cheated
out Of their Christmas in the country,
took chances on the weather. The
|steamer Capital City. which left here yes
terday morning. and the steamer North
cumberland. which sailed yesterday after
noon. each had large passenger list.
Numbers will also go on the steamers
Wakefield and Trenton, which are sched-
uled to sail for river points this morning.
