AN EXHIBITION THAT ENTERTAINED AN AUDIENCE AT SCAULEY'S HALL LAST NIGHT, AD announcement in THE Star that Mr. 8. E. Starry, of Iowa, who styled himself a seceded Master Mason, would give an Sllustrated lecture and publicly initiate a candidate in the Entered Apprentice degree of Masonry, at McCauley’s hall, Capitol HM, last eves ng drew a good sized audi: ence to that hall. The alieged exposition was pre- ceded by a lecture by Mr. Hinman, an old gentle- man, who said he represented the National Chris- Ulan Assocation of Chicago, an tnveighed against secret organizations as opposed to Christianity, morality and the principles of repubifcan govern. ment. Then Mr. Starry was brought from behind the wings of the stage and presented to the audl- ence. Mr. Starry was aman of about thirty years, tail and raw-boned. He was decorated with gor- geous regalia adorned with Masonic emblems, He sald he had been tnitiated as a Mason in Springville Lodge, No. 129, Linn county, Iowa, and | gave Dames of persons who, he sald, were mem- bers of the lodge to whom, thos» who doubted the truth of his statement could write. A number of Yolunteers having come upon the stage, Mr, Starry decorated each with a white apron and posted them about on different parts of the con- tracted stage to represent the positions different officers would occupy In a lodge room. In the cen- ter of the stage was a little chree-l stand, and upon it arranged, triangularly, three ughted candles of a most perverse disposition, besides a book and a compass, or pair of pointers. This done, Mr. Starry proceeded to show, as he stated, how a lodge was opened In the various degrees, the ct of his having to move about th > stage and Speak for various officers, and to ray mcessantly on the resounding boards of the plutiorm with his cane, aiding to make the exhibition exceedingly laughable. “He went through the words of a ritual punctuated with a great many rat-tats with the ine, and divers “Jo mote it be’s” uttéred in lemn chorus by his assistants. This over, Mr. Hinman, who was his chief assistant, was arrayed in a room outside In a baggy sult of white cotton, with one leg of the trousers rolled up so as to show the black pants beneath. Thus arrayed he was led blindfolded upon the stage, to represent the candidate for initiation in the third degree. There Was a rope noosed about his neck and dangling at his heeis. After being led about the stage for some time during the recitation by Mr. Starry, [ es the various officers, of a long ritual, i@ was brought down to kneel pefore the stand with the candles in the center. Here he took afe:rful oath not toreveal the se- crets of the order, the band was removed from his eyes and the rope taken from his neck. Mr. Starry sald that if he had shown a disposition to say that he would not take the obligation of his own accord two stout Mesons, taking hold of the rope, would soon have inspired hima with a witlinz spirit. At ter further talk and investing the newly received apprentice with a white apron, like the volunteers on the stage, the exhibition closed. Mr. Starry invited any Mason present to declare If they had not been made an Appientice Mason exactly in the way he had explained on the stage, but no one Tesponded. After another speech by Mr. Hiuman, denouncing the Masonic system, and an announce- ment by him that at some future me they would give a simllar expositicp of the ceremony of ‘nitla- Uon In the Master Mason’s degree, which Was full of tragic events, the exercises of the eveniug were declared at an e _— An Open Letter to the Commissioners Of the District of Columbia. GENTLEMEN: We congratulate ourselvesin living under a republican form of government, and have guaranteed to us, under the Constitution, the In- alienable right to “fe, property and the pursuit of happiness.” We further congratulate ourselves in being governed by honorable Commisstoners, who, by their personal Integrity of charactet, no less than their oath of office, may be presumed to exercise authority without favor or partiality, knowing no north, no south, no east and no west, but actuated solely by those lofty principles of exact justice, which shall secure equal rights to every section of our beautiful and growing city. We are unwilling, moreover, to add to the bur- dens of your office by any captious or unreason- able animadversions of the administration of the affairs of the District. We would rather Ughten such burdens, and, as good citizens, co-operate with you in your efforts to make of Washington amodel city and develop its latent resources. ‘We feel proud of the many improvements al- ready made, and share tn the general belief that the future Is bright with promise of still ater growth in population and increase of wealth, in- telligence and refinement. For these and other Teasons we feel impelled to protest, earnestly and positively. against a Bigantle wronk contemplated in the Dill recently introduced in the Ssnate, upon the whole city, Dut especially upon us re- siding fn thts portion of it. I mean the bill, ac- cording to the provisions of which the greater part of South Washington is Virtually put at the dis- posal of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad com- pany, for the use of their tracks and depots. Of course We cannot suppose for a moment that you had ‘any hand in framing such an outrage; although the band of the railroad company is as Manifest as though we saw them engaged In the act. Possibly you are impressed as we are, and, if interrogated on the subject, would indignantly ai: im even the suspicion of counte- Rancing, much less abetting, so iniquitious a scheme. If so, we again congratu- late ourselves, and would intensify our pro- test against the proposed outrage. Certainly the Failroad company must be blinded by the pro- verbial ‘of monopoly, or emboldened by the Patient forbearance of our'people for the last ten years to think they will guetly consent to An arrangement which would depreciate the yalue of their property, render untenantable their houses, destroy their business and subject them to danger by day and discomfort by night. We make prominent the railroad company, for, although proposed by the Senate committze of the District, almost a blind man can see that it must have emanated from it, is framed altogether in ts interest and proceeds entirely upon the mistaken assumption that our citizens have no rights which they are bound to respect. We are no obstruction- We are not inimical to the Baitimore and Potomac railroad.
