It's Very Birth Was Heralded with
Libation or Hood.
The "Matia' society is over 600years
old. having its origin at the revolt Of
Palermo which took place during an
Easter ceremonial IL that city In the
year 1859. A beautiful young girl and
her bethrothed, in accordance wit hthe
quaint and primative customs OF that
people, approached the Church OF the
Holy Ghost to be united in marri-
age nj its altar, and while
the lover sought the ven
cradle padre In the little room Mt the
rear Of the building his bride paused
upon its threshold. As she stood, ex-

with it's newborn happiness--a drunk-
en- sergeant OF the French garrison.
Druet by name, strobe up behind her,
threw his arm about her waist, and
thrust q huge brutal hand into her
pure, snowy bosom. With O cry OF
horror and fear the poor child tore
herself from his polluting grasp and
turned to fly, but the heel OF her
dainty slipper caught in the coping of
the stone pavement and she fell, strik-
ipg her head aguinst n sharp projection
OF the church cornice.
At that instant the returning lovers
eyes fell upon his beautiful mistress
LING lifeless, her white brow gaping
with its cruel wound. her long tresses
dabblsd with her blood. With the
savage fury Of wild beast he threw
himself upon Druet, bore INN TO the
earth. and drove his stilletto to the
wretch's heart, crying: "Morte ALA

Mary Washington Monument associa-

this fact some time ago. and the pres
