THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : OTItfDAY. JAatfUAIY 12. 1890. il
ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM.
Ono ot the events of the week In secret
society circles , nnd certainly the event of
the week In the circles of the Ancient Order
United Workmen , was the Institution of
a now ledge , Ak-Sar-Ilen lodge , No. 322 ,
on last Tuesday evening. The affair oc
curred In the new loJgft rooms at Eighteenth
Y and Vlnton streets. It was most largely
attended , for besides the fifty-eight charter
members , others were present ; some 300
Workmen , representing every lodge In the
city and South Omaha , and the grand lodge
of the state. A number ot members of
Council Bluffn lodges were also In attend
ance.
The Institution was under Deputy Grand
Master Workman J. W. Corr , who was ably

Beer L. D. Plckard , Acting Grand Recorder
C. H. Collier , Acting Grand Receiver Wil

Watt , Acting Inside Watch W. F. Smith and
Acting Outside Watch William Taylor.
The , new ritual was ussd nnd the splendidly
drilled degree team of North Omaha lodge ,
No. 159 , had charge of the Initiation ot tha
candidates. The work of this team calloJ
forth the hearty admiration of every one
picsent. Among the memberu of the new
ledge were men who belong to many orders
nnd they did not hesitate to say that the
Initiatory performance and exemplification of
the objects of the order were the moat
Impressive and beautiful they had ever wit
nessed.
The following officers ot the new lodge
were elected and Installed : Past master
workman , L , D. IMckard ; master workman ,
R. J. Altchlran ; foreman , C. Chrlstoffersen ;
overseer , John W. Shull ; recorder , Charles

Scolt ; Insldo workman , George Nlcklcs ; out-

It Is a matter of congratulation to the
members of Nebraska lodge and Myrtle ledge ,
Knights of Pythias , that the consolidation
ot the two lodges Is prnctlcally consum
mated. The papers concluding the plans are
now In the hands ot Grand Chancellor Ford ,
who , as representative of the grand ledge ,
has given his consent to the consolidation.
It was expected that the document would be
signed at the meeting ot las/t Monday night ,
but ns the members of the lodges and th ;
grand chancellor were engaged at that time
in LIIU UIBIIJCI iiieumiK , me Higuing was
postponed for a week. It Is understood
that the signatures will be affixed to the
document of transfer at a meeting tomor
row night.
That the plan has gone through Is shown
by the fact that the lodge headquarters of
ISS Nebraska have been removed to the former
quarters of Myrtle lodge In the Continental
block. The meeting night has also been
changed , from Thursday to Monday. The
new ledge will bo known as Nebraska , No.
1 , and will bo cue ot the largest In th ? state
and ono of the largest In the territory cov
ered by the order , .having a membership
of nearly 300.
On last Fridiy night National Res.vve as
sociation No. 33 Installed Its newly elected
officers In the- lodge rooms In The Bee build-
Ing. The list Is as follows : President , Ed
Burt ; past president , J. B. Sheldon ; vice presi
dent , H. Brown ; chaplain , Clem West : secre
tary , O. C. Smith ; treasurer , T. C. Havens ;
sentry , Bernard Lancaster ; conductor , J. C.
Bodnnn. After the Installation ceremony the
members of the association sat down to an
Informal banquet , which was much enjoyed.
There was an unusually good attendance
present.
One ' of .the most enjoyable _ and pntcrtaln-
j Ing'meetings ' whlcli has occurred of late In
" IKnlgh'tsi ripjrthlan clrcles was ithc dlstrlit !
"meeting held In Myrtle hall , the now lodge
. , roomof _ Nebraska lodg No. 1 , on last Monday -
-day "evening. An extended Invitation had
been sent out to all members of the order In
the vicinity of Omaha to bo present and a
goodly number was presjnt. It was esti
mated that the attendance was between 350
and -100.
The time was spent In the mysterious pro
ceedings of the ledge rooms , among which
was the confirrlng of the third rank of the
order on a couple cf candidates by the team o'f
Triangle lodge. The ceremonial portion of
the program was followed by a number ot
speeches. Among thMJ who spok ? were
Grand Chancellor Ford of Kearney , Supreme
Representative Seism of this city and Past
Grand Chancellor Goss , also of Omaha. The
evening was cloyed with the service ot sub
stantial and lighter liquid refreshments.
Clgaro were also enjoyed.
As an Indication of the amount of business
that the headquarters ot a secret. soclty
bring to the city In which It Is located , Sov
ereign Clerk John T. Yntes of the Woodmen
of the World gives tbe figures of the bust-
iHS3 that was transacted at his office during
fiyo days of last week. The business of the
lant day , Saturday , could not be obtained In
time for the press.
As shown by Clark Yates' otatemcnt , the
amounts of money received on the various
d-iys were ao follows : Monday , $1,528 ; Tues
day , $9.419 ; Wednesday , $6,170 ; Thursday ,
JC.811 ; Friday , $5,253. Thl.J . Is a total of over
$29.000 received at the office ) n five dayo , a
remarkably creditable showing for any In-
otltutlon In limey such as thos > existing In
Omaha at-tho present time , especially when
It Is consldred that each Individual receipt
consistD or uut a comparatively smuu amount.
In addition to the fact that wich a cum
of money Is brought Into the city and placed
on deposit In the banks , oven though It Is
later paid out , perhaps , In death losses , the
advertising that such a headquarters gives
the city must not lu overlooked. There are
thousands of papers , circulars and letter ?
s.ent out weekly , lu all of which the namu
of the city Is brought out most prominently.
Token altogether , therefore , the headquarters
st the Woodmen , of the World must be con
sidered us one of the1 most Important of tbe
Institutions of the city.
In view of these advantages the enterprise
of thi > o members of the order who are agi
tating the matter of the building of a i > > parato
building for headquarters must bo duly ap
plauded , U Is hoped that the scheme will
receive , such support , not only from the
members of the order , but also from the
citizens ot Omaha , that It may be brought
to an early consummation. The matter or
erecting a building has been allowed to re
main' In stalu quo- for tho. time being , how
ever , but It Is. to be reagltated. again In the
spring. If It Is found that the condition of
trr city then will permit the expectation
that .a building will prove an advantage to
tha order and the city.
In connection with the above facts It may
not be out of the way to mention the fact
that advantages accrue to Omaha If oven Ha
state headquarter * of the different bodies
reprewntetl In the I'talo were removed to
Omaha , an the metropolis of the uUlo , and'
nicio than that , that advantages would
? come to the orders themselves. They are so
self-evident that they need not bo detailed ,
The question of removing the headquarters
of thu stata grand lodge of the- Ancient
Order of United Workmen U especially per-
'ttaont ' , as the members cf the order clitm
that It has the largest membership of any
roclety In the state. The headquarter ? are
r at present locatcO at Grand Island , and con
siderable dissatisfaction lias been shown over
the location. The matter of a removal Is at
least worthy of the consideration of the
mcmbora of the order In the city and the
stile.
Last Friday night the newly elected ofllcera

The scond paper In the paries devoted to
the comedies cf Mollere , read before the
literary section of the Unity club , concerns
"Les Precleiises Ridicules. " H U by Miss
Tobltt and Is as fellows :
LES PRECIEUSES RID1CULRS.
Thr < social sect of the Precleux , which Mo
llere satirizes In his Inimitable comedy of
"Les Preclcuses Rld'ctiler ' , " originated toward
the end of the r'gn of Louis XIII. It was
a latidabls effort made by the leaders of
society to correct , as far as manners , art
and language wore concerned , the coarseness
ot the- literature of the day. The reform
was led by lidlea who might b ? called Illus
trious , as well from their birth and station
as from their education.
Twenty years later , In Mollerc's time , this
society circled around the Hotel de Ram-
boulllet and was no-called on account of Its
meeting there with the marchioness of that
name , whore residence It was.
At this time was commenced that brilliant
epoch In French literature , known as tht
ago of Louis XIV. , and at the Hotel de
Ramboulllct was astombled all that was
most refined and cultured. This assembly
was Imitated by many pretenders to fams.
Gradually these pretenses worked their way
Into the Hotel do Ramboulllet , and at thn
tlmo Mollere returned to Paris there refined
and learned ladles nau dccllneu into peuantry
andiaflectatlon.
It now became fashionable to prattle about
epigrams and portraits , and to use new
fangled words and phrases. The members
of the society wont so far as to try to re
form the orthography of the language , and
even recommended the suppression of what
they called useless and ugly syllables.
Altogether thlf. society became distin
guished by such a childish and tawdry taste
ay has rarely been seen.
In speaking of this Mrs. Ollphant saya.
"In every ago distinguished by a special
Intellectual development , some such Hugh-
able outdoing of the refinements of talents
has bubbled over In grotesque evidence of tne
larger heaving of life and genius. In Ellzi-
beth's time there was euphuism flourishing
side by side with Shakespeare's genius ; in
the days of Louis , the Augustan age or
France , there were the Precleux.
"The Hotel de Ramboulllet was the center
of the most superfine and exquisite society
then existing. In this salon , where romaiici
and refinement reigned supreme , the ola-
fachloned virtues were rustic nnd rude : u
comparison with the fine , brand new deli
cacies of sentiment and feeling , and the
greatest treat that could bo given to society
was a reading of a new copy of verses , BJI
acrostic or a riddle , or the dainty composi
tions of email poeta , whom , proud of then
own appreciation of genius , the great Jndlcs
chos ? , ffl worship. " , '
This society ot wits who , on account of
their rank , talents and literary success , had
been able to set themselves up as the lead
ers of literary taste and fashion , met to
gether and discussed frivolous subjects In
the most wrlous manner , especially those
pertaining to gallantry and love. These dls-
3ustlons were conducted In a senseless janjon
in' ' which the most common things. Instead or
lislng called by their proper names , were
given the most ridiculous ones. All this
tiad one great merit In their eyes , that or
being unintelligible to the vulgar.
As has already been stated among all these
manifestations of refinement and Intellec
tuality were many Imitations of the real ar-
tlclo which men could not detect , the time
being'too near to tell which of the pretenders
of fame were the real or which the false.
It wan a time when all that was classic
n French literature was alive and In motion
in thn nM nnrrnw nnd nlcturcsnue streets.
Paris was the center of the Intellectual life
of France and the provinces took up the
utyle. Every village had Its Precleux after
the fashion of the capital , and a false taste
and criticism threatened to Infect the very
sources of pure and healthful literature.
Van Laun makes the ladles of the Hotel
do Ramboulllet to have lived In Louis Kill's
tlmo and contends that at thlo time the Pre
cleux were entirely free from the nonsense
which Infected them twenty years later.
Then. " he says , "the work of the Hotel de
Ramboulllet was done and was succeeded
by a clique which cared for nothing but what
was cle-gantly turned or something out of
.he common.
"Instead of using a refined and elegant dic-
lon , they employed a style that was In every
wav nfTpntnfl and conceited , thus making
hems-elves highly ridiculous. Instead of con-
Inulng and Improvlns the work begun by
ho ladles Of the Hotel de Ramboulllet , they
completely spoiled It. "
Not only In Paris , but also In the prov-
nccs every lady held her drawing room ,
where were heard discussions upon the most
ridiculous subjects In language that was not
only exaggerated and foolish , but borrowed.
The gentlemen and ladles who asiombled
hero set themselves up as wits and thought
hey dlcplayed exquisite taste and Judgment ,
vhlle all the time they uttered only flat and
meaningless nonsense.
When Mollero returned to Paris after MB
our of the provinces he saw all this ana
oiind' In It a subject ready to his hand.
Vhat would be more tempting to the patlrlst
han all these affecUtlons and childish fol-
les ? What fun could be made of them ,
un that -would not be harsh , but In whlcii
here would bs a gleam of sympathy In the
midst of the laughter.
The Precleux had been several times ex
posed to ridicule , but It remained for Mollerj
o give them their death blow , and after the
erformanco of hs | comedy they wore never
icard of , except to beheld up to ridicule.
Vhat made It still more bitter was the
Ifferenco between Mollere's natural style
and the affectoa i-tylo of the would-be elegants
of the rtage. There was no bitterness In
Mollero'n heart when he wrote ; ho had been
In Parlr. only a year , and had caught but a
glance at these blue-stockings , but It was
enough ; the satirist saw at once the ab
surdity of It all , and held them up to the
laughter of all the world , and so nhen he
gave to the public this satire on the Pre
cleux he dubbed them the Precleuses Ridi
cules. The play tells of two country glria
who have Just arrived In Paris , and who aru
ambitious to enter this society , which lu
ruling there. It It the story of a trick playca
upon the two girls by the unsuccessful
suitors chosen for them by their father , and
whom the girls treit with haughty rudenew.
In creat rage at this treatment the rejected
ones sand their valet , uisguisea as a marqui ? ,
to avepge their wrongs , The sham gentle
man is naturally received with open arm * ,
and a ridiculous Interview follows , which Is
ended by the- appearance of the two masters
nnd the disclosure of their too succejfui
plan.The
The great success of this play firmly es
tablished Mollere's position , and U consid
ered the basis of his dramatic career.
The piece woo welcomed with the greatest
enthusiasm , and the followers of the Hotel
de Ramboulllct saw how absurd were ail
their pretenses , as he bhowed how eitfly
they could be Imitated by common mind * .
In the accounts of the time we read that all
Paris went to see the now comedy , the prices
of reals were- doubled , and the whole town
cried aloud , like the old man In the legend ,
"Courage , Mollere. this is cooJ comedy. "
The pretended MarquisMascarllle Is an
exaggeration of an exaggerated fashion , In
Ills clouds of lacs and ribbons and his abiura
convocation heIs the funniest nt funny
figures. The two fantastic maidens , with
their absurd talk , the exasperated father
and the poor servant , who declares that sti
cannot understand Latin when she recslve
her order In the fantactlc Jargon used by
her mistresses * nil arc treated as only Mo
llero could treat them.
In acting the play , Mollere took the par
of Mascarllle , and In a pamphlet publisher
In ICrtO li $ Is described as wearing an fnor
mou ? wig , a very small hat , a ruff like >
morning gann , rolls In which children coi'.iu
play bide nnd seek , tawels like cornucopias
and ribbons that covered his shoc-tt , whlct
had heels half a foot In height.
It Is evident from this that the play I
filled with wit and the best of good humor
and Mollero was from that tlmo and forcve
the king of the comedy of manners.
A representation of "Les Precleus3g Rldl
cules" under the English title of "Tho Af

elaboration of the old-time pantomime , which
has ben popular from tlmo Immemorial , no
exploited In this country years ago by thi
famous Ravels nnd the late George L. Fox
AD with the productions of those past mas
ters In the art of pantomime , principal reli
ance Is placed upon the antics and comlca
mishaps of a whlto-faced clown. It must
not bo supposed , however , thnt the Hnnlcns
have m-ido any attempt to copy these famous
pnntomlmlsto In their productions , the cen
tral Idea alone being utilized , that of the
clown. The tricks , situations and etory al
are original with the HanUns. Some of the
"tricks , " as they arc called In stage parlance
are really marvelous examples of Ingenuity
Ono In particular may be mentioned. It Is
called the "decapitation trick. " The clown
falls Into the hands ot a party of ghostly
knights who decide to treat him to an execu
tion , with him ( the clown ) as the victim. A
block la procured and a black-robed execu
tioner stalks on carrying an enormous axe
The clown is quickly pinioned and his heat
placed upon the block. The beadsman sol
emnly raises lily axe and brings It down wltl
a crash upon the neck of the victim. The
head Is severed and rolls upon the floor. A
least , EO It seems to the audience , but as the
clown reappears In the next scene all right I
Is quite evident that ho has not been very serl
ously damaged. George H. Adams will again
