Lectures With Broken Arm.

(F'rom the Atlanta Journal)
In Washington a few days ago General
John B. Gordon told the story of a re-
markable experience he had ten days ago.
Said General Gordon:
Il venture to remark that I did some
thing that not one of the youngsters: in
Guiding Joe Wheeler, can do. had an
engagement to deliver my lecture on The
Last Days of the Confederacy' in town
near the border of Kansas and Nebraska.
There was foot of snow the ground,
and my only way to reach the place was
by Sleigh
1--WE started and all went well for sew
eral miles until the driver struck some
thing, and out I went with the sleigh
1 found that my left arm had been
pulled down to a remarkable and painful
extent. I never thought of anything but
reaching my engagement. where 1000 peo7
pie were waiting to hear me. By good
fortune was near the house of a sur
geon and in a few minutes after the ac-
cident he was repairing the damage.
While he doing that sent for an
other sleigh, two miles away. 1t came
on time, and with such splendid pair of
horses that reached my engagement on
the moment
THE rumor of my fall and injuries had
preceded me, and 1 never had more en-
thusiastic reception in my life
My arm was pretty sore, but 1 never
missed engagement in that snowbound
region How many young men do you
! know who could do that?"

SCORED MOTHER GOOSE.
Nursery Classic Attacked at a Meeting
of New York Mothers.

New York, April 13.-'Mother Goose,
expurgated edition. may be the next
literary production placed on the mar
ket for the amusement of children
That sparkling assortment of wondrous
rhymes, the Robinson Crusoe of the
nursery, has been branded as pernic-
ious in the original, its influence harm
full and not to be admitted in approved
circles.
1t was at meeting today of the New
York City Mothers club that the attack
on the chi1d's classic was made. Liter
allure for the children was under dis
cussion, kindergarten stories had been
approved, and all was serene, when a
voice from the rear of the hall spoke
against Mother Goose"
Particulars were avoided, and the
relative qualities of THE Old Woman
Who Lived in a Shoe and Little Bo
Peep, Who Lost Her Sheep were not
touched on. The speaker sank into the
inviting obscurity offered by the bon
nets in front of her before questions
could be asked.
For a time it seemed as if the senti-
ments of the speaker, who had declared
that Mother Goose ought to be ex-
purgated, were shared in by the assem-
blage, but at last one champion was
found.
Il want to stand up for Mother
Goose as developing the imagination

WOMEN MASONS IN FRANCE

1t is not generally known that there
exists in France a lodge of women Free
masons, says the Scientific American.
This curious fact, with all that it i'm
plies of masculine complacence and Of
feminine audacity, is to be explained
by the religious situation in France. The
Roman Catholic church forbids it's
members to be Freemasons; therefore
the Freemasons are all reVolters from
the church. But do not for this jump
to the conclusion that the French Ma
sons, being Freethinkers, have freely
invited women into the order. Such a
fact would have made a great noise in
the world. The truth is simpler; it is
that the same impulse that has gather
ed the men into lodges has driven the
women into lodges, a1SO-the reaction
from an extreme to another extreme.
The women Masons also are revolters
from the church.
The origin of the movement dates 50
years back. At that time certain Ma
sons, who were also Feminists, proposed
to admit women into lodges, were over
ruled by a small majority. In 1882 a
lodge near Paris, called the 'Freethink-
ers,'' initiated the first woman, Nine.
Maria Deraismes, at that time leader
of the Feminist movement in France.
The high authorities dissolved the Of
Tending lodge. Some time passed, and
a certain DR.. Henry Martin again made
a proposition to admit women. Being
refused all sides, the idea come to
DR.. Martin that, by founding new
obedience it would be possible to or
ganize an exclusively woman's lodge,
which, in 1894, was done. Seventeen wo-
men were Solemnly initiated by Maria
Beraismes. Nine. Deraismes remained
at the head of the order until her death,
when her place as Venerable was taken
and is occupied today, by Nine Henry
Martin. The Paris woman's lodge is
called lie Droit Human (Human
Rightly These II women have now be-
come 200, which is to say that the idea
makes Roadway, and they have created
other lodges at Lyons, Rouen, Zurich,
which adds about 60 more to the num-
Der The meetings are conducted in all
things like those of the men, and there
are no Masonic secrets not known TO
the women.

EYLER'S GOOD LUCK.
The Long Kansan Shows Up Well
Against Cincinnati-Kru-
gers Trouble.

''Pap'' Eyler, the Kansas pitcher, now
with Grand Rapids, played his first
game against the Cincinnati Reds Tues
day afternoon. His showing was a good
one, as he made one put out and not an
error.
Manager Torreyson of the Grand
Rapids team is highly pleased with Ey
Ter He also says that Otto Kruger,
who is now playing third base for the
camp. Kruger accepted the terms of
the Grand Rapids club, and to all in
tents and purposes was as good as
signed. Subsequently he got an offer
from the Kansas City club and gave
the Grand Rapids club the go-by. Man
ager Torreyson has the first claim on
him, and is confident that he will play
in Grand Rapids or not at all. He is
highly spoken of.

A SEA OF FIRE
Sweeping Over Rock County, Nebras-

Basset, Neb., April ia prairie fire
of extraordinary proportions and OF
great fierceness is raging throughout
Rock county.
The residents of this entire section are
fighting the flames but a strong wind Is
driving the fire and all efforts to con-
troll it have failed. From here to New

section is made up largely of hay flats,
and these afford fuel for the flames.

Ellis, J. H. Mason, Peter Olson and a
number of others between here and
Newport have been destroyed, with all

capped.

THE FRENCH PUZZLE
The More Said About the Dreyfus
Case the Less Is Known.

Paris, April 13.-The Eclaire today
publishes the deposition made by NJ.
Trarieux, the former minister of justice
in the Ribot cabinet before the court of
cessation in its inquiry into the Dreyfus
case.
NJ Trarieux said that Count TOrneilli-
Brusati di VirganO, the Italian ambaS-
sador to France, declared to him in
March, 1898, that the Italian secret IN
formation bureau never had any rela-
lions with DreyfuS and that the pub
LEGATION of the bordereau and the docu-
ment containing the words "cette
canaille de d revealed to the italian
and German attaches that Dreyfus was
the victim of an error and that the
bordereau was communicated by an
other officer.
tary attache of the German embassy at
Paris wrote to Col. PaniZZardi, the
Italian military attache at Paris, that
he was not acquainted with DreyfuS
and attributed the bordereau to Major
Count Esterhazy- The Italian ambas-
sador said Esterhazy went to Col.
Schwartzkopen in October, 1897, and
asked for protection and on this being
refused, he threatened to commit sui
eide
The italian ambassador added that
the document containing the words
''cette canaille de d" referred to a
civilian who had furnished Col.
SchWartzkopen with plans and maps.
The latter was known to the foreign
attaches under the name of dubois"
Finally the italian minister said he
was convinced, after interviews with
NJ HanOtaux. the then minister of for
eign affairs, that the communication of
Lieut. Col. Henry'S forgery in the lola
trial was made without the knowledge
of the government. He salSo said that
EsterhaZy had relations solely with Col.
Schwartzkopen, who communicated to
Col. Panizzardi the documents which
were interesting to Italy.

Destroyed by Flames Last Night
Loss $4,000.
