QUEER CASE FOR TRIAL
Free Masons and Religionists Are
Interested in Outcome.
Especial to The Free Press

Especial to The Free Press.I
Montreal, March IA queer case,
in the outcome of which the Free
Masons and religionists the world
over will be interested, is set for
trial during the term of the court
of kings bench opened today. A. j.
Lemieux, the author of an expos
ure" of Free Masonry, is charged
with highway robbery by M. Ludger
Larose, secretary of the Emancipa-
ton Lodge of Free Masons. NJ. La
rose alleges that he was attacked on
April last by four men, and that
his papers, money and valuables, to-
gether with list of the members
of the lodge, were taken from him.
Later this list was published in a
booklet of which Lemieux was the
author, and M. Larose alleges that
he recognizes the accused as one
of the men who robbed him. Emf
nent counsel have been employed by
both sides.
The lodge of Free MasOns, it is
alleged, was composed largely Of
French freethinkers and anti-cleric-
ais, and prior to the great interna-
tional eucharistic congress here last
year it was announced that pilot
had been Matched by the members
of the lodge to lure the priests in
attendance to houses of ill repute
and there cause their arrest. The
trial of Lemieux is likely to add
fuel to the flames of luminosity al
ready existing between the Catholic
and freethinking sections of the
French population of Montreal and
Quebec.

LlNCOLN'S QUESTION.

His Opponent, Douglas.

Professor james r McLeary OF

years represented district of his

story:
a friend of mine told me that when
Il boy he attended with his father one
of the famous Lincon-Douglas de
bates in Illinois. My friends father
was Lincoln man, but the place in
which that particular debate took
place was Il Douglas stronghold.
Douglas spoke first. and he was
frequently interrupted by voeiferous
applause. The cheering and the hand
clapping ut the end lasted four or five
minutes. When Lincoln was intro
duccd the crowd broke out into cheers
for Douglas and kept it up for several
/ minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited
patiently
when at length the enthusiasm had
subsidized Lincoln extended his long
right arm for silence. When he had
partly got this he said in an impress

Judge Douglas is!'
Then when the audience had again
become silent at his call Lincoln lean
ed forward and said:

many of you can tell me one thing
Judge Douglas said?
My friend told me he searched his
own heart for an answer and found
