Female Masons.
Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, a well known
“esident of Kansas, not content “with
her brilliant career as a mischievous
Populist is about to enter a new, and
so far as we know, an untilled field;
Mary Ellen is about to institute lodges
of Free Masons. Just how Mary Ellen
contrived to get hold of the secrets of
Masonry which have been jealously
guarded for centuries does not appear,
but Mary Ellen claims that she is pos-
sessed of the genuine recipes, and that
she can make just as good Masons as
any man living. Theoretically, there
is no objection to Mary Ellen being a
pioneer in this work, but we hardly
think that she will meet with the suc-
cess that she anticipates. We hardly
think that ladies Will care to ride a goat
even with the adscititious convenience
of a side saddle, nor will they appre-
ciate the delights of being hoisted up
to the dome of the lodge room and
when there being expected to blow out
the rivelve lighted candies which repre-
sent the twelve signs of the Zodiac, nor
will they be pleased with the prospect-
of being harnessed up to the lodge go-
cart with the worshipful “Mistress”
seated therein, and then on their hands
and knees being compelled to drag the
go-cart “seven” times around the lodge
room; such a ceremony would be hard
work under any circumstances, but es-
pecially so if the candidate weighed
ninety pounds and the worshipful “Mis-
tress” two. hundred and fifty. At any
rate, such a circus Would spoil the
toughest silk dress in Christendom.
While Mary Ellen may catch a few
birds we do not think she will make
many “Mistress” Masons.
Then too, if this thing succeeds it
will lead to no end of domestic infelici-
ties, for if the husband goes to his
lodge and the wife to hers who will stay
home and give the children croup med-
icine and split the kindling Wood?
IlIulllfolcl as are the causes for divorce
we should grieve to see this additional
fire brand. We have our private sus-
picions that the divorce lawyers are
backing Mary Ellen in this fresh on-
slaught on the marital relations of the
American people. Kansas is a great
state. It has given us crazy legislation,
I’efibr and his whiskers, farm mort-
gages, and now comes Mary Ellen and
her female Masons. Will the grewsome
processron ev.-r end?

Coxey Recruits at Yale.
Monday, when the Yale students
were on their way to chapel, they saw.
in conspicuous positions upon trees
find elsewhere, large posters contain-
ing notices for a meeting of Coxey
recruits, printed in large type. The
meeting was called for 6:45 o’clock and
the place of meeting was at the fence.
The notice naturally attracted much
uttention. It was the first sign that
Yule had been inoculated with the
Corey Virus.
In a short time the faculty ordered
the posters removed from the campus,
and men were sent around to tear them
down.

WASHINGTON.
.Senator Hill of N cw York was award-
ed an exhaordinary c vation on the oc-
casion of his tariff speech. Crowds bo-
gun to wend their way to the Senate
galleries as early as ten o’clock and by
one, not an inch of space in any part
of the Senate allotted the public was
left, Willlx‘ thousands were obliged to
leave the Capitol unable to gain an en
trance. The House was deserted and
all the vacant seats 2 nd spaces on the
outside of the Senatorial chairs were
densely filled by mem‘Jers of the House,
attracted by the argument of the noted
Senator from the Empire state. Cor-
spicuous among the listening longress;
men on the Senate fiber was “I‘om
Reed of Maine. Senators on both sides
of the chamber accorded him the clos-
est attention. No such ovation and
popular demonstration has been Wit-
nessed in the Senate since John 9. In«
galls left that body. His speech is con~
ceeded on all hands to be an able and
powerfully convincing argument against
the tariff bill as now before the Senate.
Hie arraignment of the Income tax
feature is thought to'be fatally dam-
aging to that feature of the bill. South-
ern democrats, eager to loot the North,
assert that it is the ablest republican
speech that has been or is likely to .be
delivered in the Senate against the bill.
Senator Platt in company with Sena-
tor Teller has taken a. trip out to the

Needed Improvements Ordered on
East Avenue.
One~Half Hour Sesslon.
The Norwalk City council held. an
adjourned meeting Monday evening.
The Mayor and full board were pres-
out.
The first business brought before the
meeting was the discussion of the pro-
posed improvements on East avenue
near the Earle place, and the presenta-
tion of a report of the committee auth-
such proposed improvements at that
point.
Councilman Adams reported that the
committee had “arranged to make ar-
rangements” with Mr. Earle 1n refer-
ence to the proposed changes, subject
to the approval of the council.’ He
said that Mr. Earle would give the nec~
essary land for the widening of the
avenue, if the city would remove the
trees and earth, and that be, Mr.
Earle, would furnish the curb for the
gutter, provided the city would place
the same. He estimated that the cost
of the work would not be in excess
of $450. Was not in favor of havmg
the work let out by contract. Thought
it would be better policy to set the idle
men now in the city at work. If given
out by contract the party securing the
same would probably set Italians at
work on the job at a. low figure, but
that the cost to the city would be about
the same as if done under its owu
supervismn. He also stated that the
Tramway company would furnish two
men to assist in removing the trees.
Councilman Osborne said that much
of the material gained by widening
the avenue could be used in repairing
other sections of the avenue and on
abutting streets. He further stated
that the Tramway company was willing
to do all in its power to expedite the
work.
Councilman Boyer was in favor of
the work being done by the city and
not by con tract.
This seemed to be the sense of the
Mayor and the entire board. .
It was then
Voted, That the report of the highway com-
mittei be accepted and that the chairman of
said highway committee be and he is hereby
instructed to cause all necessary papers to be
drawn and executed by Mr. Earl - and the City
of Norwalk f-rf‘ the carrying out of the pro-
visions of the agreement to be made b- tween
Mr. Earle and said city ; an that this having
been «lone to the satisiaction of the chairman
of said cemmittee, that thereupon he shall
proceed to d: all necessary nets and things for
the carryng out of the proviSions of said
agreement on the part of the city.
Councilman Boyer, chairman of the
finance committee, was authorized to
change the borough notes aggregating
some $75000 and held by the Fairficld
County, and the Norwalk Savings banks
and W. F. Bishop, trustee, for new
city notes, the same to be dated from
the 2d day of April, as mentioned in
these columns a few days since He
stated that he had been led to believe
from the statements of the parties in
interest that the new notes could be
placed at a reduction from 5 per cent.
interest to 41; per cent. and with the
same parties now holding the borough
notes He was authorized to borrow
$1,000 on the credit of the city, and to
pay three months interest on the notes.
He was also authorized to change the
borough notes to city notes.
The council then adjourned until
Monday, April 16th, at 8 o’clock.
he session lasted scarcely half an
hour.

The Old House at Home.
——W. B. Hall & Co., the popular dry

IT LEAST TEN LIVES LOST3__
Several Persons Vl’ere Also Considerabls
Injured, and Some Had Narrow Es- H
capes—The Davidson \Vas llIil-
wnukee‘s Best Theater.
hIILWAUKEE, April O—The Davidson
theater, the finest playhouse in Milwau---
kee, was burned between 4 and 5 o’clock
this morning, causing the loss of a num-
ber of lives._ Soon after 5 o’clOck, when
the fire was seemingly under control, the
theater roof, on which a secre or mire of
firemen stood fighting- tho flames, went
dow11,'and the men were carried with it to;
the floor of the auditorium below. Some
were extricated from the mass of flames,
in which the 'whole' interior :Was envel»
oped, by their comrades, who risked their
lives to drag out the - bodies of the dead
and injured men. .
Six or eight men were removed from the
building when the rescuers were com-
pelled by the flames toabanddn the Work.
It was understood then that at least 10 of
the ill fated firemen were still in the blaz-
ing interior. . .
\Vhen the roof of the theater fell the mem-
bers of the insurance patrol were covering
up the seats in the parquet. A light was
suddenly seen through the roof abova and
the men in the auditorium ran back just
as the crash came. Several of the men in
the theater were caught by the falling
timbers. »
_ The Cries of Firemen.
For a moment all was dark. Then sud-
denly a grcat sheet of flame shot up, and
with it came the cries of the firemen who
had fallen through the roof to the theater
below. There was trouble in getting water
on the fire, which, afterthe fall of the roof,
rapidly made its way throughout the build—
ing. The water was finally got into the
auditorium, and several of the firemen who
had fallen nearest the front door of the
lobby were dragged from the burning de-
bris and carried out more or less injured.
The men were removed to the saloons
across the street and their wounds dressed.
While the firemen were at work amid
the ruins of the floor of the parquet the
gallery began to burn, and while directing
their attention to this; biam another part
of the roof fell, making impossible the res-
cue of the men who still remained impris-
oned under the fallen timbers.
The Victims.
Following is a partial list of the men
who were buried under the fallen roof:
GeOrge J anssen, company No. 2; Captain
Linehan, Company No. 4; Assistant Chief
August J anssen; Archie Campbell, fireboat
Cataract; Thomas Morgan, Company No. 1;
Frank McGurk, James Freeman, Company
No. 4; —— O’Neill, —-— Crowley, Company
NO. 14.
' The following were rescued and taken
to the Emergency hospital: Lieutenant
, Curran of Company No. 1, central fire sta-
‘ tion, probably fatally injured; Fred Marsh
of Company 'No.’ 5, foot crushed; Fred
Schroeder; J ohn- Yoo, pipeman of Com-
pany No. 4, badly burned and back hurt.
Oliver Reis, Company No. 3, was fatally
"injured by a. fall of a. ladder when the fire-
men began their work. He died on the
way to the hospital.
Hotel Guests Flee.
The guests of the Davidson hotel, which
occupies a part of the building, fled panic
stricken from their rooms when the alarm
of fire was rung in the hotel corridors.
They were really in no danger and had
ample time to get out. No one was injured.
The Davidson theater was opened in Sep
teinbcr, 1891. The manager, Sherman
Brown, said this morning, speaking of the
losses: “The original cost to John and Alex-
ander Davidson was between $250,000 and
$400,000. The loss is mainly on the interior.
There is no way to estimate it, but it may
.be above half of the original investment.
It will be at least a year before we can re-
open.
rebuiit.” .
The scenery carried by “The Lillipu-
tians,” whose 10 days' engagement at the
theater was to close on \Vednesdny, was
all. burned. Manager llosenthal of the
company says it was worth $25,000,
