counts.
Story of Mask Discredited.

Having found the Latude rope ladders,
which are well authenticated, the reader
OF Bastille traditions will perhaps look
for the iron mask which, according to
one of the most persistent legends of all
European history, for many years con-
cealed the features of prisoner of state,
confined by special order of Louis NV as
an unknown The fate of the man in
the iron mask is known throughout the
world. and has intrigued historians and
students for centuries, but so many YER
sions and explanations of the mystery
have been given that the truth has until
lately seemed to be hopelessly involved
in fiction.
1t is certain that there is no iron mask
at the Carnavalet Museum. and it is
quite well established that there is no
iron mask anywhere else, and probably
there never was one. So. with faith in
the legend of the ''man in the iron mask
perhaps somewhat shaken. the student of
Bastille history is puzzled until he is
lucky enough to find a copy of a book
written few years ago by an English
man named Hopkins. in which the mask
tradition was reduced to its lowest his
torical terms, as follows.
There was a prisoner in the Bastile
who wore a mask. but it was merely a
light mask Of velvet. such as in earlier
tine masqueraders. merely covering the
forehead. eyes and nose. This prisoner
was Mattioli. an Italian adventurer, who
had been secretary of state for the Duke
of Mantua, and had secretly undertaken
to secure for Louis XIV for a consider
alton the cession of the city of Casale,
then a point of great strategic inn
portance.

AFTER SPEAKERS FOR CLUB.
Searchliaht Committee Makes Plans
For Seasons Program.

Preliminary plans were made by the
committee of the Scarchlight Club 9.
the Y. NJ c. "A. at meeting held on
Tuesday afternoon for the program for
the clubs season next winter. A pros
pective list of ten and a dozen speak :
ers and lectures was prepared by the
committee, from which II Is hoped TO
secure the eight numbers for the win
ters program. r
The committee hopes to be able 70
secure an especially good number for
the first meeting OF the club IN the
new building late in the winter. In
Guided among the very interesting
prospects are two lectures on explor-
alton. Illustrated with moving pictures.
One is by a member of Captain SCOTS
party to the south pole. and the other
is by a member OF Roosevelt's party
into the wilds Of the Amazon valley.
Both these lectures. If the club Is able
to secure them, will be expensive.
Among the Iowa men who many ap-
pear on the program are Railroad Com
missioner Clifford Thorne and Senator
Clarkson. who fathered the employers
liability act which became a law this
month. 1t is the plan of the committee
to make the program so Interesting
that the membership Of thestluh Will
