Away."
Juit a quarter mt a century sgo
secret society, known as the Hot, of
Mttlttt, ttprsng suddenly into existence
in the city of New Orlottm Tbe or
igtita) object of the orgsuixatinn Wss
the oftptuTO of Cuba, and msny prom
inent uiiiitary men cf the Smith were
tbe leading ipirits in the movement.
For reasons which the writer is not at
liberty to divulge, the filihimtrriog
pUnn of the Order were abruptly
squelched, aud soon tbsraafter a well
known newspaper man, who had been
initiated, conceived the idea t.f making
"some fun for the boys." The whole
buaineas of initiation, etc, was trans
formed into a series of the most -tu-pendua
sells, prsctiesl jokes snd out
rageously comical proceedings ever
dtssmed of. Tl e Order apread rapidly
all over tbe Union. It was generally
believed by tbe outside public that the
Sons of Ms It a wss a benevolent society,
and to foater thia belief frequent lengthy
notices of charitable deeds performed
by tbe Order were pubtiabed in tbe
newapapera all or.r the land. Meet
ings were held weekly, and there was
so mucb solid fun to be enjoyed that
nothing abort of death in the family
would deter a Member from attending ;
therefore, iu many nieces, tbe member
ship was so great that the utmost dif
ficulty was esperienced in obtaining
lodge rooms of u flic nt capacity.
Candidates for initiation were usher
ed into tbe bait where those who were
already members were artanged in
rows, escb covered from bead to foot
with a white or black gown, in which
was cut small boles for tbe eyes snd
mouth. With this garment on tbe
ilentity of tbe wearer was perfectly
concealed, and the candidates who were
initiated at one time did not know
whether they were in tbe banda of
friends or strsogers.
To escb candidate tbe " Master of
Ceremonies'' in a moat impressive and
pleasing manner, stated the objects of
tbe order sod told bow the brother
hood came together with one aim and
one understanding. "We are bound
together," be said, "by tbe ties of love,
confidence sod charity for one soother,
strengthened ami solidified br tbe ce
meal of confession. We open up the
secrete of our hearts In tbe bearing and
presence tf each ether. We are all
sinful crest ure. and confession is good
for the soul. Our good deeds speak for
themselves, and our bad deeds are re
corded, and in due time these tecorda
re burned sod the aabea am alt thst
remain of a dead en 4 forgotten past."
Then the candidate was asked if he
was willing to leave tbe sinful world
behind, aud enter upon the new life.
An affirmative anawer and the initia
tion beiran. He wss immediately
blind folded, led to a atep-ladder. snd
told to ascend and sest himself on tbe
top stair with arma folded. This was
tbe position each bad to occupy while
undergoing the ordeal of a "confession"
of bis misdeeds. He would be led
along by sdroit questioning until be
made whet wss regarded as a "clean
breast" of his moral shortcomings.
When a paiticularly rich or unexpect
ed admission vat pumped out ot htm, a
dead, sepulchral voice solemnly exclaim
ed :
"Re-c-o-r-d it."
And immediately a heavy blow was
struck upon s big drum to drown ths
irrepressible laughter.
If a candidate gave evidence of a do
sire to conceal anything, he was given
to understand that the inner secrets of
his soul were known to the Order, sud
to hesitate to giving them would be an
unpardonable crime in the eyes of tbe
brotherhood. This would suffice for
many, but the majority would, of course
hold out and refuse to answer some in delicate
question, liable to lead into a
ehannel that might involve him in a
disagreeable confesaion. And all
though this was exactly what wss aim
ed at.
In such cssea an iqtimate friend of
tbe candidate's would pass tip to the
Master of Cermonies on a slip of paper
a point or two in some questionable
transaction of the spplcant's life, and
this would prove the key to unlock th
secret recesses of his heart. Then
would the master say, in a tone of re
buke :
"The records of the Order show that
upon such a day, in ouch a year, while
you were in the city of Cincinnati you
did thus snd so. Then in a tone
mildle expostutatory he continued :
"My friend would I could call you
brother as I have Raid before, all
your misdeeds are known to the Order
to which you are seeking admission.
While crossing the portalfl which sep
arate our brotherhood from a wicked
and ainful world, and while about en
tering upon a iie,w life, and breathing a
purer atmosphere, you have ungrate
fully tried todeceiveue. For this you
are to be punish ed and iLr ust lack into
the wickedr.csa you arc bo loath to
leave behind.
"Sir Knight, summon the Council of
ten and take the recreant before that
tribunal for punishment."
Than to the cnndidate, iu a sadden
ed tone of voice :
"Sir, there ia but ot.e way in which
you cau reqVem yourself in the eyes of
the hretberhood -make a full and com
plete confeasion."
The feeling that their aecrsts might
sotually be in K)ssessibu of the brother
hood, and an indefinable dread of what
that council of ten miaht do in the way
o? punishment, iuvnrially unlocked the
mouth, and some of the most sedate
citizens men of good character and
standing wore forced to own up to
more trsuagresaions thsn they would
rti to have put in print.
- t he candidate was thsn asked if bt
could swim. If l.e answered in the
affirmative tbe feply was ! "Let us
see you." If in the negative the an
awer was : "We will teach you."
Still blind folded, he was matched to a
far corner of the room where a stream
ef wster from a faucet kept up the de
lusion of a prospective bath and com
manded to diarobe for tbe plunge.
Four strong brothers then seized him.
and with a toss placed him with but
stMtuscb restiug on the top of s high
steol and totd him to strike out.'
The delusion waa so great that the poor
vi i mi would kick and paw tbe air, and
make the moat ridiculout exeriious
imsginsble.
Although it wss a dry bath, the new.
iWgtd brother had tC 1 Msl through
the drying machine. This was a high,
narrow box just high enoogb aud
wide enough for a man to stand upright
in. When be was in there slat were .
inserted to keep him in poattton white
bs wss going through the drying pro.
Oea. The box was hung on a pivot
between two upright bars, and bad at
tached to ths side a crank, by which it
could be readily aud quite i.pidly ie
volved. And this waa '. one of tbe
Utile trials which the iiMumie eteker
after the toystcriYs 'c-f Malta hd to
Undergo. lin w ahulrd ap'.nd and
round perwndiculat Jy, head ovr hreis
and beets over bead, first quite slow sud
then with gradually increasing ased,
until tbe breath of the hntusu piouellor
gave out. The frightened fellow was
then removed to an eaav cbtir to uke a
Asj.;, whilf further questb were pro-
soonded to him, and the sonorous "K r
v - r i it V resounded through the
hall after each cf bis answers. He w
then told to pnqtae for this "rough,
rugged rued." He wna then placed on
all fours, and by prodding from the
rear, forced to crawl through a long
iron boiler on which the men were
hammering ; thence up a rough incline
to tbe top of a pedoatal twelve or
fifteen feet high, from which he was
shoved into a Urge blssfket made oi
sail cloth, with hand-holds for ten men
on each aide. Then was sent flying to
the oeilirg. Down be would come snd
up be would go st the rate of thirty
times in sixty seconds, and sich a
shaking up as tbe oor fallow experi
enced cannot be realised by those who
have not been similarly favcred.
And thus "initiation" continued un
til tbe recourses of the lodge were ex
hausted, one grand aell following an
other ia rsnid succession, each one
more stupendous than the one proceed
ing. Finally as a grand wind up. the
candidate waa informed that in view of
tbe fact that he bad aufTered so many
indignities and passed through such a
trying ordeal, the lodge had decided to
confer upon him the honotary title of
tf. R. J. A Judge, or Colonel, (len-
pral So-.nd-so havinc resigned the
. 0 v
position in his favor.
With a lengthy and florid apsech
from tbe master of ceremonies, and eH
deal of adulation and mock tokens of
respect from the now unmasked mem
bers of the Order, the candidate was
nriiscnted with bis credentials, which it
eras made obligatory upon him should
fie immediately opened and examined.
Hastily the "Great Saal !" of the order
r
was broken, the certificate taken from
thn nv one snd oneued. and the, vic-
1 7 I I
tim would diu'jovpr he picture of
iackasri in bold relief, with various ac
coutrements aud accomplishments, and
would pooket hta credentials and cha
grin amid the roar of the frolicsome
gang that surrounded him.
This expose could be greatly extend
ed, but enough has been given to let
f
those in Louisville, who were members
of the "noble order" know that one o
the O. R. J. A's. has been "giving
away" their ctissedness. Louisville
