Female MIVSOIIH In
In all parts of Europe , save .Etiglniulwhcro
fcmalci arc rigidly excluded fiom participa
tion in MmoniclubON of any description , a
ledge member being recently expelled for
allowing the co\crt \ presence of a couple of
female relatives at ft ledge of soi-iow , there
exists the Order of Fidelity , more generally
hnown as the Itlto of Adopttonsays , the New
"Vork Mercury. This system li not Masonic ,
correctly snealtlcg , still It approximates in
principles nnd bemlits to .Masonry closely
vlth a very Ingenious ritual , signs , pass
words , grips and distinctive emblems. Prior
to the Introduction ot ALtooniy into l raneo
there were numerous secret societies
admitting -women into membeibhip ,
Hiding and succoiing them in
hours of distress and of danger ,
affording asylums for tno wives , widows ami
children ol men slain or persecuted during
civil disorders then pievalent. 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. At its solicitation Louis X.VI.
presented its ward with 1OOO , ilvrcs nnd
ordcivd him a pension otSOO [ nines and com-
mlshlonodhlm to nlleutcaancy Inthotinny.
Theiowero slmultausously lodges presided
over by Mine. Ilelvotius , the 1'rliicess da
Lamballonnil other ladles of quality , which
Rttvo brilliant festivals und chirityballnintll
Iho outbreak of the resolution. Under
Napoleon the lilto of Adoption was revived
withtho Km press Josophlno na grand mistress
and the I'rinecss dti Carignon und the
Duchess do Vuudlmont as her assistants In
oill co ,
It Is understood that In the coming winter
an endeavor will bo inado to introduce tin
original Itito ot Adoption into this city and
assuredly , If It afforded entertainment to tlio
great ladles of the courts of the Trench soy-
creltms and remains highly In Europe It can
bo cultivated with prollt bv the fair sex of
Gotham , especially those Indulging iu foreign
travel , to wuota the slyns und password * may
irove of service upon event of emergencies.
The ritual has been composed by distin
guished men of letters , ameliorated to suittbo
female tastes of successive generations ; the
ceremonies nro attractive , Impressive and In
structive ; in a word the rite solves a woman
n society the sclf-saino advnn tapes a woman
of the -world can sec-mo through Masonry. It
consists of live degrees I. Apprcntlve ; II.
Companion ; III. Mistress ; IV. Perfect Mis
tress , and V , Scottish Elect. The lodge
room is ducoiatcd with plants and ilowcrs to
resemble the , Garden of Eden and is divided
into four "climates , ' the eastbelng .Asia , com-

the order , a llnmlng heart having an npplo In

"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

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

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

"A walk of ono block cast and two blocks
