MRS. LEASE THE HEROINE.

Masonic Play.

She is the Leading Character in a New
Masonic Play.
WICHITA, April 22-Nrs. Mary E.
Lease of this city is now the heroine of
play. 1t is called Female Masonry a la
Lease" and was written by Mrs. Maria
jackson OF Council Bluffs, Ia. grand sec
rotary of the order of the Eastern Star.
1t is an easy and laughabIe farce, de-
signed for social entertainments. 1t is
very cute thing, but as ludicrous as it
could we'll be made. In the play a regu-
lar female Masonic lodge is opened in
due form, and then a candidate is brought
in riding a goat, and after kneeling at
the altar, she receives the most ridicu-
lOus obligation ever heard of There is a
full set of officers who have very out
landish titles.
The lodge is opened with the following
ode:
Hunky dory. free for fun;
Here's a victim see him come.
Bring the branding-iron hot.
SeOrchlng pan and SteWing pot.
We can have Mason's lodge;
Men say we can't, but that's all fudge;
Goat We have and secrets. too.
ms you'll see when we get through.
Miss Susan B. Anthony is supposed to
be the first candidate, and before she
take the obligation very long address
is read to her euloRi stic of Mrs. Lease
for having been the first woman to OBJ
tain the secrets of Free Missionary and
reveal them to the women of the world
after they having been kept from them
for centuries.
There is some talk of putting the
farce on in this city soon.

years arc she received diplomas not only from the theological department but also from the departments of law and medicine as we'll. Two years ago this month she was U guest at the iin- ner of the Pilgrim Mothers" in New York and then and there replied to one Of the toasts in a manner that captivated her cultivated fellow diners. She is "yice president at large" of the associ- ation and a fine specimen of the best type of the younger thew women"
 Of course Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Blake. Mrs. Ellen Battle Dietriok, Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Mrs. Rachel Forster Avery, Mrs. Josephine K. Heney, and most of the others who have born the brunt of the battle, 10, these many years will also be present, and from Kansas there shonld be delegation of very respectable num- bers, for it is understood that the wom- on there mean to continue the fight with all yigor. Wyoming and Colorado should not be less forward, but it is possible that, having won the battle for them selves, the women of those two states may stay away.
 It would be strange, however, if the convention should meet without Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi of New York, who gives as the reason for being a suf- frag1st that she ''has a logical mind" " Dr. Jacobi is past 50, is sometimes spo- ken of as more abrupt than suave in her speech and manner. and for many years has been the best known woman physi-

ton of New York declared against even submitting it to the people. What is worse, it is feared in some quarters that the action in New York was more than merely negative. It was of such Q nature as to perhaps delay all possibility of the suffragists winning in the Empire State for yet another term of years.
 On the other hand, the record of the year just past is not altogether disheart- ening. The right to vote was generally exercised for the first time at the last election by the women of Colorado, and, according to the reports, with as much intelligence at least as that displayed by the men. In Illinois also the women voted for the first time, though only for one state officer, and as intelligently as did their sisters of full suffrage privi- leges in Wyoming and Colorado, and wherever they are entitled to a voice in school matters women have turned out in force during the past year at the polls. Miss Anthony, Mrs Stanton, Mrs Blake and the remainder of the old guard, who will meet at Atlanta this year, will therefore be able to congratulate one an. other because some forward steps have been taken.
 It is doubtful if even Miss Anthon, dreamed. when. as Q young girl, she stood up, more than 10 years ago. on the floor of the New York State Teach ers' association convention at Rochester and demanded for the women of that gathering the right to take part in it's deliberations, that she would live to see women ill possession of equal citizen ship anywhere. But there is no doubt that when Wyoming conferred the suf- frage on women she looked for a rapid spread of the same liberal policy throughout tho United States. The hope lessness of tine case apparent in her youth had then changed to rose colored prospects of success, though subsequent events have not fully justified her an ticipations, and the great majority of the states are as they were twoscore years ago-the men only are citizens and wom- en are not yet admitted to voting privi leges.
 It has been Miss Anthony's chief hope, during the last decade and half, that she might live to witness the con- ferring of the suffrage upon the women of her own state, New York. In 1880 it seemed to her and her coworkers that the hour of their victory was nigh. for they had the promise of a majority of the votes in the assembly for the suffrage measure then up. But the promises were not fulfilled and after 1880 it was not until 1894 that Miss Anthony again be- came hopeful It did seem to her, how ever. during last spring and the early part of the following summer that there were grounds for believing the end to be in sight. as for the first time in the history of the movement that conserva- tive element, the society woman, took up the cause

 The convention of the National Wo- man'sSuffrage association to be held in Atlanta from Jan. 31 to Feb. will be not untinged with sadness. The dele gates will be happy indeed in meeting together again and will have some prog ress to report, but their happiness will Se somewhat tempered by the fact that much less of progress has been made since the last convention than was ex- pected, for no new stars have been add ed to the suffrage flag.

 fashionable sisterhOod to their ranks nor how tactfully and often at great violence to their own personal prefer snoes these same veterans left the con duct of the campaign in the city of New York and other Empire State towns to the society women. It is undoubtedly true that the suffragists in New York. both the old hands and the raw recruits, confidently expected success in the con- stitutional convention in spite of the counter meeting held by some women who did not want to vote. The conven- ton had only to give the word for the pubmission of the matter e the people at the fall elections, and it was believed that President Joseph Choate, the cul- tured and brilliant leader of the New York bar, would throw his immense in- duencs on the suffrage side of the bal snce. But. alas and alack! shortly after the opening of the convention MT. Choate expressed himself as decidedly against woman suffrage. and a substan- hal majority of the delegates followed hfs lead. defeating the proposition. so far as constitutional amendment is con cerned, for another 20 years. In spite of the fact that she is yet vigorous in mind and spirit for one of her years. Susan B. Anthony can hardly hope to live to see another constitutional convention in the state of New York.
 One of the most interesting of the many bright and clever women to be present ct the Atlanta convention is the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, D. D.. of Philadelphia. Dr. Shaw is almost exact- iy such . woman in real life as WAS pre- figured in fiction by George Eliot" when she portrayed Dinah, the woman preacher, one of the characters in Adam Bede ." Like Dinah, Dr Shaw gave up friends and the pleasures of this world for the pulpit. and she has had very successful career in the clerical profession. She is woman of wide and deep culture. for when she was gradu. Atsd by the Boston university some

 clan in America, eminent as are some of her sisters who have devoted their lives and talents to the healing art. Dur ing the sessions of New York's constitu- tional convention last year she labored with great persistence before that body and made one address upon its floor that won general attention, even from her opponents, as a we'll reasoned argument and one in which misrepresentation and extrayagant statements had no place. Although she is an American in the best sense of the term, she is not a native of this country, having been born in Lon don. Her father. however, was George P. Putnam, the American publisher. She came to the United States early in life and when but Q young girl entered the Woman's Medical college in Phila- delphia. After her graduation there, she studied at the College of Pharmacy in New York, being the first woman gradu- ated, and then went t1 Paris, where she managed to secure admission to the med ical schools of the French capital, after much opposition, and only because she was heartily indorsed by United States Minister Washburn. Her valedictory thesis, delivered upon graduation, in 1871 won great commendatiun, and for 1t she received a silver medal while vari- ous other honors were showered upon her.
 Her husband. Dr. Abraham Jacobi, was German political refugee, settled in New York. where they were married in 1878. He is now man of great emi- hence in his profession, as is shown by the fact that he was chosen to head the American delegation to the recent inter national medical congress.
 If the speeches made at the last din ner of the Pilgrim Mothers in New York be an indication of the feeling on the part of the suffragists toward Joseph Choate. that gentleman will probably be handled without gloves at Atlanta. Nearly every speaker referred to MT. Choate in a more or less sarcastic or critical manner, and Mrs. Stanton went so far as to recite some disparaging rhymes about him and his action as pres ident of the convention. Naturally among the chief features of the work to be done at the coming convention will be the laying out of future programme. and if it is possible to devise any scheme for making the year 1895 and those that follow interesting to Mir. Choate it will no doubt be brought forward and in. dorsed. CHARLES APPLEBEE-

CHAPTER XXu.

Lifting Juanna in his arms, Leonard hurried from the sleeping apartment to the throneroom, where he stood hesitatinQ, for he did not know what was to happen next. Soa, who had preceded him, stood, surrounded by the four priests and with a torch in her hand, against that wall of the chamber where she had lain bound on the night of the drugging of Otter.
 ''Baldpate has tainted with fear, He is a cowardl" she said to the priests, point. ing to tho burden in Leonard's arms. Open the secret way and let us pass on {"
 Then priest came forward and pressed upon stone in tho wall, which gave way, leaving a space sufficiently large for him to insert his hand and pull upon some hid den mechanism with all his force, whereon piece of the wall swung outward aa though upon pivot. revealing e flight of steps, beyond which ran Q narrow passage. Soa descended them first. bearing the light, which she was careful to hold in such . way as to keep the figure of Leonard and the burden that he bore in comparative darkness and after her went two priests. followed by Leonard, carrying Juanna, the rear being brought up by the remain ing priests. who closed the secree door be- hind them.
 "So that is how ie Is done, thought Leonard to himself. turning his head to watch the process, so detail of which es- capped him.
 Otter, who had followed Leonard from Juanna's chamber, saw them go, though from some little distance, for. like a cat. Otter could see in the dark. When the rock had closed again, he returned to Fran. cisco, who sat upon the bed lost in prayer or thought.

 What is the use, OtterS'' answered he priest. "The road leads only to the aun- geons of the temple. and If we got so far we should be caught there, and eyerythinR would be discovered, including this trick. 9 And he pointed to the robe of Aca, which he wore.
 That is true." said Otter. aComs, then, let us go and sit upon the thrones and wait till they fetch us.'' So they went to the groat chairs and eat themselves down in them. listening to the tramp of the guards outsids the doorway. Here Franoisco resumed his prayers, while Otter sang songs of the deeds that he had done, and more especially very long one which he had composed upon the taking of the slave camp. ito keep his heart alive, as he explained to Francisco. A quarter of an hour passed, and ths l curtains were drawn aside, when . band of priests entered. headed by Nam, and bearing between them two litters, having hide curtains.
 Now, silence. Otter, " whispered Fran. cisco, drawing his hood over his face. Here sit the gods, !" said Nam, waving the torch that he bore toward che two quiet figures on the thrones.
