The spirit of chivalry was not extinct when Masonry \vas Introduced in to France and ( hero it lingers still. The more Intellectual Masons por\cived thu advantages aorulng through pel mission of females to commingle with them at tlulr so clal reunions. Consequently , as women could not bo initiated into the mysteries , some ot the leading lodges of 1'arishold extra , in- foninil , sessions , hi which they invited ladies of rank , distinction and ability to participate as co-mcinbors , whence earao tno phrase "adoption , " na the females were imestcd ulth certain privileges and Instructed as to their branch in labor , Androgynous Masonry made Us appearance nt Paris about irJO : , only live years after the flrst lodge had been constituted in that city , In 17CO the Count do Bcniouvillo created a. . ledge of adoption at hisinanrlon In the sub urbs , attended by all the literary nnd other celebrities of the day , whllo so\cral other noblemen held others at their city residences , and none dispersed without generous collections for the poor , In 17T5 a ledge of adoption was established under the presidency of the Duchess do Ilourbon , assisted by tbo dulio of Cliaitrei , grand master of Misom.Among its mem bers were the Duehessesdo Luyties. doUitiu- cas , the Countess do Cnjlus , the vieouatess do Tavaiines ami numerous ladies ottbecouit , Their object was the payment ot debts for which the poor wew Imprisoned. la 1779 the Lodge of Addition "Li Candour" busied Itself for the nliof of a titled brother perse cuted by family hatred and driven to filuht- ful misery.

"What a crime scene would result were there to appear , nt one and the sumo moment , In Omaha apparitions of all the tragedies that have occurred here. There is not n street , not n square in the business portion of the city on which could not bo found a contributor to the ghastly tab leau. leau.And And yet , Omaln stands far from the head in the crime list of cities similar In slzo. "Heaven knows and the Judgment d.iy will show , " said an old-timer one day last week , "that thcro'vo been murders hero more than enough to curse a bigger and brighter city. "Forone icaaon and another , " continued the speaker , who has seen Omaha grow from 15,000 to its present number of souls , "I have paid tolerably close attention to the deeds of blood that have been enacted hero , und , do you know , I have dis covered and been watching an odd fact per haps not so odd , cither In connection with such things from year to year. It is this : The display of nerve In connection with 'tins sort of killing lias been growing less and less every 3car , save a rmo exception now mid then. Tne night sneak style has sup planted the bold , daylight , faco-to-faco shoot-down , Whether the former may bo called a natural accompaniment of on * ad vanced civilization I do not know , but 1113' observation shows mo Unit the latter seems with ' ' tlmovhun to have gene tho'wide-open' \ tiger dens and dance houses ran free mid made less noise than the present electric- motor cars. "Another difference between the old-tlmo and the now , and that I notice is becoming more prominent every day , is the increase of public sentiment In Omaha favjrablo to hang ing men who commit murder and this , too , in spite of the fact that it Is twenty years falueo the death penalty was enfoiced. "A fruit store in a little ono-story build ing on the west sldo of Thirteenth street be tween F.irnam and Harncy was the scene of us bold and deliberate a murder as over oc curred in the city. The proprietor , an Ital ian , whosomunol cannot recall , was the vic tim. The perpetrator was1 another son of Italy named Ciulz/ello. In 1874 It seems that the two men were partners In the handling of counterfeit money. They had a liuico quar rel about Mio division of a lot of it , and parted , Quzlzello claiming that he had been cheated and that he would kill his part ner the next time they met. A few hours later Oulzzcllo was arrested for horse stealing , tried , convicted and bunt to the penitentiary for 11 vo years. Upon finishing his tlmo ho returned btraight to Omaha , and ualklmg into his old ' of business In bioad partner's place , day light , shot Mm dead , Oulz/ello is now serv ing a life sentence at Lincoln for the cold blooded crime. "A walk of ono block cast and two blocks north takes you to what used to bo the old Buckingham variety theater and , vhlch Is now a big tin shop west sldo of Twelfth , be tween Douglas und Dodge. At a midnight early in the MJ's a very dizzy dance-was in progress there.
