Architectural Mysteries in Form
er Secret Society Building.
Workman engaged in tearing down
the buildings on the block condemned
for the new Washington postofice
have made discovery. They have
begun to demolish the buildingusedfo7
many years by the colored secret socie-
ties. Certain architectural mysteries
can only be explained on the theory
that they were used in the initiation
ceremonies. They suggest rites which
must have outdone the performance
OF the once famous Sons of Malta. By
TAR the most remarkable of all the
wonders ofthis sort discovcredis a hor-
ribly suggestive brick hole. It is built
like a chimney into the edifce itself,
reaching from the bottom of
the cellar to the third floor. This
brick hole is four feet square inside.
One lifts piece Of floor in third story
Below thefooring about two feet is
curious lid with a funny shaped open
ing. Removing this lid one sees a
bricked-in space four feet square and
ten feet deep. This is only part OF the
hole. At the bottom is another lid,
like the first, and when that is lifted
there is revealed another bricked- in
space ten feet in depth. At the bot
tom OF that is still another lid, like
the other two, and when this is remov-
ed one can look down yet another ten
feet to the very bottom of the cellar.
1t is very weird, altogether. The
entire hole is rather more than thirty
feet in depth. 1t forms, as has been
said, a portion of the solid structure
OF the building.
erhaps the most curious thing
about it is the cellar. 1t has an open
ing four feet high by eighteen inches
wide, which is big enough to admit the
passage of a mans body. It is pos
sible that victims subjected to the
ordeal OF initiation ceremonials were
lowered into this awful we'll and per-
mitted to find their way out into the
cellar, and to wonder vainly into what
sort OF a place they had got. There
may have been a whole cemetery of
bones down there to brighten the nov
ice out of his wits.-Giobe Democrat.
