old German Emperors.
Thero have fcwn chapters of the order
In very country of the world, nnd there
nre about fl.000,000 members In Europe!
but not until one year bbo would the
Itosnecruclans consent to Blvo n charter
to nn American lotlRe, The New York
lOdKo Is tho RovomlniT body of tho order
In America, nnd It has granted n charter
to n. State lodge, with headquarters In
Pittsburgh. If. Spencer Lewis is the Most
Worshipful Tmperator nnd Qrnnd Muster
of the order in Amcrlcn.
EQUAL- niOHTS TOtt WOMEN.
The onlcr Is tho only necret society In
the world that gives lo women equal
rights of membership. Women enn take
all 12 of tho degrees. It Is snld thnt this
was always the case; In tho first assem
bly held In Egypt one of the most power
ful queens that country ever had was
made an ofTlcer.
"Women," says tho ofllclnl pamphlet
of tho order, "do realize anil appreciate
tho sacrcdnesa of their vows, the serious
ness of tho work, the necessary broad
mindedness of views and tho bonds which
unite' nil mankind. The archives
Of the order", wherein aro recorded tho
great accomplishments of Its brothers
and sisters In the fields of art, literature,
medicine, law, science and research,
show that sex tins placed no limit upon
tho heights which the members of the or
der may reach In these fields after hav
ing completed the prescribed Itosaecru
clan course of Instruction and research."
It Is tho Intention of tho order to
establish an American Itosnccruclnn Col
lege, -to bo ntnllated with the United
Itosaecruclali Colleges of tho world.
Plans, have been drawn for n college and
monastery buildings In puro Egyptian
architecture, to occupy a. spacious lto
in tho suburbs of either New York city
or Washington. As In Europe, there will
be established here In the nenr future
a Junior Order Itosne Crucls for boys uml
girls over eight years of age. They will
have Initiations of their own, passwords,
grips, signs nnd symbols. .
Members pt the order must believe In
Qod. As tho order Is mystic and secret
there Is little more for the uninitiated to
learn, nlthough the pamphlet exclaims
that "nosaecruclanlsm Is a philosophy, u
science, an nrt and a secret all of these.
Inseparable nnd one! The Alpha and
Omega of all learning." There Is also this
curious statement:
"The great man known ns 'Christ' wns
another of tlje high members of the order,
but ho refused to becomo a grand master,
preferring to work with the people ns He
did. Ills doctrines. Ills work and His
llfo were all according to the teachings
of Itosaccruclanlsm." In another passage
It Is said that among those who are In
vited to belong nre Catholics.
EMBLEM 13 A CROSS.
The emblem, a cross with a rose at the
point of Intersection of the upright and
tho'drnu), suggests a Christian origin, but
this Is not the case, for Itosnecruclans
say they antedate Christianity and that
Freemasonry is an offshoot of their order.
The Lntln words "Roane Crucls" mean
literally "of the rose of tho cross," Uc
yond' that there Is evidently no delving.
Lord Edward Hulwer Lytton said this of
the order, of which he was a member:
"An nugust fraternity most Jealous of
all secret societies, whose cloctrlnes(hlnted
at by the earliest philosophers) are still
a mystery to the grentpst scholars not
Initiated- Its members still prosecute their
profound research. Into natural sciences
and occult philosophy und no monastic
ordci) is so severe-in the practice of
rnortil precepts."
More definitely It is said that the order
"makes plain ontology and biology; re
veals life and death In a different light
from that generally understood." Tho
stars are consulted for horoscopes of
members! Th'oso who want to know more
are referred by membors to Thor Kllma
lehto, SO Gth avenue, New York. The not
ing secretary In Philadelphia Is Mrs. It. J.
Musser, wll Ludlow street.

Tho Itev. Frnncls J. Sheehnn, nn author
ity on moral theology nnd canon law, has
been appointed rector of tho Church of
St, Thomas Aiiulnas, at lath and Morris
streets. Tho appointment lias been an

Billy's pal, Charlie Kelly, who suffered

other things in addition to taking )iot
