Among tbe visiting Mesons attending tbe session of the Masonic Relief Association lest night the subject of “Woman in Masonry" was under informal discussion. One ol tbe members said: "Many people think that wo men are admitted to member ship in the Masonic Order, while as a matter of fact within the history of tbe organisation only one woman has ever been allowed to join. There are authentic reports to show that the only woman who was ever admitted was Mrs. Alsworth. Her picture now hangs in tbe Masonic Hsil, in Franklin street, between Eigh teenth and Nineteenth, and is j the property of old Richmond Lodge No. 19, said to be the moat venerable lodge in existence in this country, as it was chartered October 29, 1797, Mts> Als worth was the young est child and only daughter of Arthur St. Leger< created first Viscount Doncraile, Ireland, June 23, 1703, and BHcaffeth, daughter and heiress of John Hayes, of Wlacbclsea. She wae born about 1713 and married Richard Aldwortb,’' of New market county. Cork, son of Sir Richard Aid worth, provost marshal at Munster. • The lodge fas which she was iaidefied wag No. 44, of Ireland, and it» meetings were often held in the home of its President, Lord Doneraile. Miss St. Legrr determined to gratify her onriosity regarding the secret work of tbe organisa tion and If possible to see “the goat in action." With a pair of scissors she re moved a portion of the brick from the wall and took her po sition, so as to command a full view of every part of the next room. Thus the usd the first two degrees of Mafioary, the fall \ of tbe lodge busineee that beard whea - ...rre about to —i she felt trembling alive to the awkward mess and danger of hw sknaliua and began con sidering bow abe could retire without being caught. Groping around the dark room in her frightened condition the knocked against and overturned a chair. The crash was heard by the tiler of the lodge, who wae in the lobby. He gave the alarm, burst open the door and with a light in one hand, and a drawn sword in the other, appeared be fore the now thoroughly frightened young woman. The tiler was immediately joined by the other members of the lodge. They for the most part were furious at the dis covery that their proceedings had been overheard. Miss St. Leger was placed tinder guard of the tiler and other members in the room in which she had been caught, while the lodge reas sembled and its members de liberated for two hours in hashed voices as to what her fate should be. At last the^yonng woman was told that she would have U> submit to the ordeal she bad witnAsed—the conferring of two degrees—or remain a priso ner. while tlfe lodge again con sidered her caae. Miss St. Leger, nearly ex hausted with terror, yielded and waa accordingly initiated into the secrets of the order. The other inmates of the boose were in absolute ignorance of the affair until many weeks after wards,' when they learned that the daughter of the house had become a Mason. Thu is the authentic account of the event as related In the history of the Masonic Order.” ^ Postmaster Lewis of Madison is $500 short in his accounts tad bis oSce has been turned over to hi* bondsmen.
