RITUAL OF THE KU kLUX
FOUND AT COL JNlRlA

during the literary "housecleaning''
which has been going on at Columbia
ever since the university library was
moved from Forty-ninth street to
Mprningside Heights, New York. there
nave been unearthed from time to time
many treasures which have lain dust
covered and forgotten for years. Rare
manuscripts, first editions of we'll
known books and sealed packages with
curious contents have turned I'D in
numbers. A recent discovery. however.
is perhaps the most interesting of the
lot. This is a genuine manual of the
Ku-klux Khan organization, which ter
ror1zed the South for so many years.
The manual, for such it is, is a yell
low-covered pamphlet, consisting of
tWenty-four pages, four by six inches
In size, and the university librarians
declare that it is beyond reasonable
doubt the only one of it's kind in exist
ence This contention and the au-
thenticity of the manual are confirmed
by letter which was found pasted in
the back of the book, written a dozen
years ago by a lady in Nashville, Tenn.
The letter states among other things
that the ritual is "a prescript of the
Ku-Klux Klan, which escaped destruc-
ton when the ''ghouls' disbanded, and
was given me by an ex-member." The
sghouls,' as appears in the pamphlet.
were the members of the body polite
Of this strange organization.
Destroyed the Evidence.
The letter proceeds to point out that
the "ghouls" We're under positive or
ders to burn and destroy every possible
trace of their secret organization, and
there is intin1ltinn nf IVY
retribution in the case of that "ghoul''
who fails to obey this injunction. 1t
therefore appears that by the merest
chance the manual at Columbia es-
capped the fate of the. other evidences
of the Ku-Klux Klan.
1t 1T worthy of note that nowhere in
the twenty-four pages is the name of
the organization mentioned or referred
to. In the few places where, under
other circumstances, it would have
peen printed, there is either the inser-
ton of three asterisks or a black space.
The title page, for instance, which is
interesting in itself, announces that the
pamphlet is the Revised and Amended
Prescript of the Order of the -" A
little below appears the motto, Damn
ant Quod Non Intelligent"
The problem thickens on the second
page, where the ritual contains the
provision that, This organization shall
be styled and denominated the order of

Fire Terror i'm AdirOndaCks

OLD FORKE, N. Y, Oct. 1O.-Tragic as
1t was, the murder of Orlando P. Dexter
about three weeks ago was only a single
example of the hatred of the Adirondack
native toward the millionaire owners of
the vast tracts of forest.
Sheriff Steenberge today practically
abandoned the search for the assassin OF
Dexter. The officer drove into town early
this morning, after hard night of run
ming down false alarm. He said that so
far he had not been able to secure evil
dence sufficiently strong to warrant an
arrest. The indications now are that the
murderer will never be captured. He made
his way unseen from his home in the for
est to Dexter lake, committed the deed
with no eyewitneSSeS, and returned again
to the the wilds, perfectly secure that no
one could ever prove him guilty.
Another case has just come to light

his family. a guest, their servants and
guides had a very narrow escape from
death last Thursday night. when the
summer was burned by incendiaries. AS
IT was, they escaped with few possessions.
1t is not believed there was any feeling
toward Mr.. Freund, but toward the owner
of the camp from whom he leases.
Mr.. Freund, his wife, two children, Miss
Marjory King, of New York city friend
of the family, three servants. and two
guides had been occupying the island
camp on RaSquette lake for the summer.
This was very pretty establishment.
consisting of one large building, comfort
ably furnished, and half a dozen smaller
houses sleeping apartments, dining rooms,
kitchens and servants quarters. 1t be-
longed to Jerome Wood, who is superin-
tendent of William Carnegies large tract
also on the lake. Mr.. Wood has incurred
the hostility of the mountaineerS, and
for several months he and his wife have
been compelled to live in a constant state
of watchfulness.
Mr.. Freund's family and household had
retired Thursday night when simultane-
ously flames burst from every building Of
the camp. The sleeping persons could only
grab a few clothes and dash into the
night. Wrapped in nondescript garments.
they were taken in boats to a neighboring
camp, where they were provided for until
other garments could be obtained. So

hotels, who are fighting the railroads be-
cause, as they assert, an undesirable ele-
ment of sportsmen are being brought in,
and third, the "squatters,' who came to
the woods fifteen or twenty years ago
and took up state land.
The present conditions in the Adiron-
dacks are largely due to the uncertainty
as to the law since the region was made
a state preserve and since the beginning
of the attempts to evict the "squatters. :
A recent decision of Judge Spencer l.

HOW THE MARSHALL {.
ISLANDERS NAVIGATED
Their Wonderful Navigation Charts Mys-
~ tify the White Man.

What is the most remarkable invention
ever conceived by the mind of man to be
found in the numerous museums of Wash
ington? Undoubtedly it is any one, or all
of the Marshall island navigation charts,
to be. found on the second floor, in the hall
devoted to the anthropology of Australia,
New Zealand, the South Sea Islands and
the Malay Archipelago, In the National
museum, and the reason is that no white
man ever learned the use of one of them.
Also for the further reason that these
so-called charts are the instruments of
precision of a people endowed with the
sixth sense
To look at the objects which are the in
struments of this particular sense no one
would suspect that there were more than
the mere playthings of children or saw

Here and there about over this tangled
tumble of sticks small seashells are fas-

When this happened everything on the
vessel would be in motion, and the navi-

one or more chiefs and their sons would

time to time the navigatorS would feel the

The power of initiative rests solely with
the house Of commons. and If that house
decides to undertake it, there is no power
not even royal pardon-that could bar
proceedings. The method of procedure
would be as follows:
The mover of the resolution would be
directed to appear at the bar of the house
of lords. and there impeach the accused
lin the name of the house of commons
and Of all the commons in the United
Kingdom" The hearing would take place
as an ordinary trial, the house of lords be-
Ing the judges, and the house of COM
mons, attending in committee with their
chosen spokesman the prosecutors The
defense might employ counsel and call
witnesses; the prosecution would have the
right of reply.
On the conclusion Of the trial each peer
would give his verdict separately, rising in
his place, laying his right hand on his
breast, and saying Guilty or Not
guilty as the case might be, ION my
honor"
In case of condemnation by a majority,
the commons might demand sentence, or
might be satisfied with having obtained
judgment, or might pardon the offender.
Their decision would be supreme.
The earliest instances of Impeachment
recorded in English history were those of
Lords Latimer and Nevill and four other
persons in 1876. when the country was for
a little while under the regency of the
Black Prince. The latest were the famous
one Of Warren Hastings (17s8-95) and
that of Lord Melville (1S05). In 184S an
attempt was made to impeach Lord
Palmerston, but it failed.
