Wpmen yesterday organised a lodge of Masons at the Tuxedo. Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street. They call It Manhat Woman tan Mystic Lodge. Organise a There had been taik [asonlc Lodge. of such a movement for several weeks. but the women were reticent. They mat In a real lodgeroom. with queer insignia and a delicious air of mystery. Humor says much of this mystery was occasioned by doubt whether the real Masons would recognise this new feminine order. But fats and the Masons—a real lodge—were kind to the women. Mrs. May Banks Stacey, who li the head and front of the movement, was formally Initiated a few days ago. and yesterday she ■wore In, with mysterious rites, twenty of her followers. The principal requisite for membership Is that one must be the wife, widow, daughter, sister, or granddaughter of a Mason. ” The ritual used In Manhattan Mystic Lodge wlU be that of the first woman's lodge, founded in France In 1796. of which the Empress Jo sephine was s member." said Mrs. Stacey.

WEALTHY NEW YORKER PLANS BIG LIBRARY
Quarters to Be Used by the Institute for Psychical Research
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.- Concealing his identity for the present, a wealthy resident of New York has just volunteered to supply several thousand of dollars for the purpose of leasing and equipping adequate quarters, including a lecture room and library and complete laboratory, to be used by the New York Institute for Physical Research. This statement is made by H. Spencer Lewis, of 252 West I48th street, assistant editor of a magazine called Modern Miracles, and an instructor in the Metropolitan Institute of Science. "Our purpose," said Mr. Lewis, "is to submit all phenomena of a so-called supernatural order to the closest scientific scrutiny. We hope to develop among our members some who will be capable of hypnotic power and through them to study and test every phase of that subject. We shall invite spiritualist 'mediums' to give evidences of the power they claim in our lecture hall and under conditions which will eliminate entirely the possibility of fraud. Thorough scientific investigation of psychical matters is our only aim. We do not propose to endorse or advertise anybody."

Greatest Psychic Wonder of 1906 By H. SPENCER LEWIS (President of the New York Institute for Psychical Research.)
The year 1906 was one of the most successful for the advancement of psychical research and study, more wonderful discoveries, revelations and conclusions having been effected in this one year than have been recorded in the annals of this science since the first "spirit-raps” were heard in this country in 1848. In response to the request from the Sunday World for an account of the most remarkable psychic exhibition of the year, I will describe the demonstration before the society by a young American Indian, who claimed that in a trance he could communicate with the spirit of an Indian chief, and also with the "Great Spirit," and that this spirit would describe through him the homes of those gathered in the room. The medium did describe, accurately and in detail, the rooms of six of those present, one room being in England. He also describe the appearance of a gentleman whom he had never seen, and told where he was at the moment of recital, which facts were afterward verified to the minutest detail. In this demonstration it was not possible for the medium to ever have seen the rooms he described, and therefore there could have been no fraud. This leaves but two explanations - that of telepathy and that of actual spirit communication. Of course, those present knew their rooms, and telepathy was possible, for the medium could have received, telepathically, the descriptions of the rooms from the person present. But granting this, we find that telepathy could not explain the method whereby the medium described the room in which the gentleman before mentioned was spending the evening, nor could it explain how the medium
was enabled to tell us just what this gentleman was doing for no one present knew where the gentleman was, and certainly no one knew exactly what he and the others with him might be doing. The medium was a stranger to all present, and there could have been no collusion. If telepathy can explain this demonstration then we must admit that telepathy between strangers at a distance at any time and under any conditions is possible. This is extending the limitations of telepathy to an extreme, but even so, it may be the real hypothesis. This demonstration on the whole was the most remarkable, of its class, ever recorded by our society, or perhaps by any other body of investigators.

Qlvrn the guess work and trickery even to en orm ous: quantities, there ye* r* w tlM iAs tauiduum of fact which can be explained only t!frou;h spirit Intervention In the affairs of man.

The millions of Intelligent men and worsen who have been testing psychic phenom ena through all of the ages, espe cially slrite IBIS, have nbt done so slmoly for am usem ent, l^iey have been in search of tru th , and In th at searching they havo been rew arded by revelations m6^o vital, fac ts m ore stupendous, dem onstrations more valuable than all tho scientists unit edly have b e e n 1able to produce In a thousand years. They have discovered the m ost precious of all m i t h s - t b a t death docs not end all;- th a t m an lives on |n a m ore progressive s ta ts of existence from which be can send him m essage of -love to those dear ones of his life whom he left upon tlie earth.
This discovery has been m ade and The proof thereof given by and through the agency of spiritualism . Let Prof. Lewis hug his em pty delu sions, dig up, expose, explain away, ex ploit all of the 'Clicks and nonpensa th a t he can And, yet, over all, around all, and beyond all. is th s one- thing he has not been able to grasp, much, less destroy or overcome—and thatfene th in g Is. the gen uine m essage from the world of souls to some m ortal in th e world of nenae.

The Globe, February 24,1915 OLDEST FRATERNAL SOCIETY IN WORLD TO HAVE BRANCH HERE Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosaea Crucis to Have American Lodge Men and Women on Equal Footing - Cross Used Said to Antedate Christ by 1,700 Years - Many Distinguished Members. Would you like greater peace of mind, greater control of emotion, ability to rise above the material conditions of life, capacity for greater physical and mental recreation, a better understanding of life, a deeper insight into its possibilities - in other words, to draw from life the best there is in it? You would, of course, and so would your neighbor. Well, then, become members of the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosaea Crucis, which is now organizing an American lodge. The Rosaea Crucis is not to be confused with the Red Cross Society. There is nothing charitable or religious about it, despite the feet that the cross is its emblem. It is the "oldest fraternal and secret organization in the world," a prospectus states, and - suffragists please note - the first organization known in history where women were accepted on equal footing and were eligible to the highest office. It has had, and still has, some distinguished members, among whom might be mentioned, according to the claims of the Rosicrucians, Napoleon, Henry II, of England, King Louis the Pious, Lord Bulwer Lytton, and Lord Bacon, Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute, who is now at Lyons directing surgical treatment for wounded French soldiers, and Marie Corelli, the novelist, are members of European lodges, it is claimed. An ex-president of the United States is also said to be a Rosicrucian.
Antedates Christ Rosaea Crucis means rosy cross. The cross used by the Rosicrucians as a symbol antedates Christ by 1,700 years, they claim. Where the arms of the cross
meet in the Rosicrucian symbol appears a half unfolded red rose. The symbol signifies that through the cross the members of die order unfold as does die rose. The family of Thotmis IV, founded the order and built the temple of Kamak and other temples, and were instrumental in having stored in the pyramids and other safe places the emblems and signs o f material sciences and accomplishments. Realizing that some day knowledge might be wiped out, the family of Thotmis decided to store in the pyramids philosophies and secrets which could not be transcribed or otherwise indicated to perpetuate them for "time eternal." Astrology, the Rosicrucians claim, was thus handed down through the ages, finally becoming the science of astronomy. The order is fraternal, like the Masons, which the Rosicrucians claim, sprang from the order of Rosaea Crucis, the seventeenth degree of Masonry, it is claimed being an admission of its debt tothe Rosicrucians. Outgrowths of the Rosaea Crucis, it is stated, are the Knights of die Rosy Cross in England and the Societe Rosicruciana in France. Rosicrucians in the United States have been dying for half a century to obtain the right to establish a lodge here, according to H. Spencer Lewis, American foundation president, of 130 Post Avenue, who is also president of the New York Institute of Psychical Research.
Jewels and Symbols. "After fifty years of pleading, negotiating, and preparation, the supreme authorities have granted the right to establish such a lodge," he said. "The supreme consuls in Egypt and India designated Mrs. May Banks-Stacey, widow of Colonel Stacey, U.S.A., to bring the jewels and symbols to this country. She also has the rosary used by the family of Thotmis about 1,500 B.C. The chain is made of skin, set with rubies, turquoises, amethysts, and other stones bearing weird hieroglyphics." Mr. Lewis explained that Mrs. Banks-Stacey was a lineal descendant on her mother's side of Maty Stuart, and on her father's side of Cromwell. The qualifications for membership, as he explained them are:
Age, over twenty-one years, belief in a Supreme Deity, good moral character and habits, and belief in the philosophy of the Rosicracians. No one can become a member until he is invited, but one may apply for this privilege. The minute one becomes a member he or she realizes what a wonderful thing the Rosaea Crucis is, Mr. Lewis explained. "When the initiates on entrance to the order pass through the threshold," he said, "they have a most wonderful revelation of what can be done in the science of spiritual and material things. They get their first convincing evidence o f the Rosicrucian control of great natural phenomena. "They must take an oath to hold sacred above all other tilings the innermost secrets and teachings of the order. They pledge themselves to accomplish at least one thing for the betterment of mankind before they die. It is a matter of mortal life and immortal life for them to reveal secrets. To break the pledge of the order invites all the disaster of life and condemns the soul and innermost man to all punishment hereafter."
No Oaths in Court. The Rosicrucians never take an oath in court. They make the sign of the cross. They don't believe in heaven or hell, as "Billy" Sunday expounds it. They believe with certain modifications in the theory of reincarnation. They have a marriage ceremony which is performed previous to the civil ceremony, a christening and funeral service of their own, said to be very impressive and beautiful. The lodges hold monthly meetings at which the officers wear robes. The dues are nominal, the "great expenses of the order being furnished in an unknown and unusual manner." The question of finances never gives the lodges any concern, Mr. Lewis said. There are not sick benefits or insurance, but the members see to it that no one of their fellows is ever in want. "Any one who doubts that Rosicruciana is not well founded," said Mr. Lewis in conclusion, "should go up to the Astor Library, there are thirty books on the subject there and a catalogue of some 360 books published in nine languages. There are also more than 300 manuscripts in the public libraries. There are between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 members of the order."
The first public announcement of the plans for the American Order appeared in The Globe of February 24th 1915, exclusively by special arrangements. The Globe was a newspaper published in New York City.

Why the Rosaecrucians Came to New York Prophecies Dating Back 1,500 Years Before the Wise Men of the East Followed the Star to Bethlehem Are Now Fulfilled in the Advent of This Ancient Mystic Order to "The Land Where the Eagle Spreads Its Wings." The symbols on this page are copyrighted, 1915, by "The American Rosae Crucis." By Charles W. Wood
THE Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis has come to America. It Is the most ancient and most mystical of all orders; so ancient that the encyclopedists have never been able to trace its origin, and so mystical that even the mystics of other cults have never been able to divine its meaning. Every one has heard of Rosaecrucianism. Few have any conception of what it stands for. Lexicon makers have disputed about the spelling of the word. But now the thing itself, Roseacrucianism, is here. And it is here to direct the course of America during the next five wonderful years; to point out the course written in the stars in the dawn of civilization and interpreted by the Wise Men of the East years before their successors followed the Star to Bethlehem. THERE was no air of mysticism about the rooms at No. 80 Fifth Avenue, where I talked with the young Grand Master General of the long-looked-for American Grand Lodge. But the story he unfolded was one that brought the hearer back to the earliest councils of the Egyptian pharaohs, and threw about our whole modem civilization the glamour of the cryptic past. H. Spencer Lewis is the American Grand Master General, or Imperator. He received his commission eight years ago from the Supreme Council of the World, through the Grand Lodge of France, to establish the order in America. This Supreme Council is the great autocratic authority of Rosaecrucianism. Its very membership is secret and it enforces its dicta in ways that mystify even the Illuminati. With his commission Mr. Lewis received orders not to begin the work until 1916. He was then only twenty-five years old, but had already become one of the Twelfth Degree Illuminati in Toulouse. His previous life had been a preparation for this commission. He is known as a student of psychical research
2
and has aided in exposing many of the so-called spiritualistic frauds. "Roseacrucianism is true mysticism," he told me. "It is not a religion. It has nothing in common with theosophy or Hindu and Yogi philosophy, and has no connection with the new thought movement, spiritualism or mentalism. We call it, rightly, the Alpha and Omega of all learning. It is a philosophy, a science, an art and a secret - all of these, inseparable and one." "It could not be established here until the year 3268," he added. "That year was fixed in the stars. It was read by Hermes 1,300 years before Christ; but the secret was kept, even from Rosaecrucians, until the time of fulfillment. There have been many earnest attempts to found the order here before. The enthusiastic propagandists themselves did not know why permission was withheld. Some of them have founded Rosaecrucian societies, clubs and fellowships. But you will note that none of these have used the name of the order or its official emblems. That could not be done until the year 3268. The year 3268? Yes, that is the present year, according to the Rosaecrucian calendar. March 21 is the Rosaecrucian New Year. It begins at 1.06 A. M. Reckoning according to our present calendar, it was in the week of March 28 to April 4,1489 B. C., when Thutmose III., Ruler of Egypt, and his little group of advanced thinkers, organized the first Council of the order out of the class in philosophy, which had been meeting in the royal chambers and represented the highest learning of the world. There were twelve in the group, nine men and three women. There are twelve degrees in Rosaecrucianism The figures 9 and 3 have ever since been recognized as mystic symbols. The name of the order was not adopted at once, but the principles, rules and modes of procedure outlined by Thutmose have come down, it is claimed, practically unchanged in the ritual of all Roseacrucian lodges. Thutmose erected two obelisks outside the Temple of Kamak, where the order met. According to a tradition of the order one of these obelisks was to stand some day in the 'Land where the Eagle spreads its wings." It does. It stands in Central Park, in the metropolis of the world, full o f inscriptions meaningful to Rosaecrucians. How was America associated with the eagle twenty-eight centuries before Columbus? "I can only say that it was," said Mr. Lewis. Then he produced a map,
3
a map of the world showing the Roseacrucian symbols of an eagle, a pyramid and a black bird (the "vulture") covering the area of the United States. "This map," he said, "was taken from the pyramid of Cheops and from the oldest Rosaecrucian tablets. The eagle and the pyramid were adopted in due time by the new government at Washington as emblems of the American Republic. Thousands of your readers will understand the significance of the vulture." According to Mr. Lewis, Rosaecrucianism has had a continuous history from the day of its birth. And there is no reason, he says, why this outward history should be withheld from the world. The Supreme Council has permitted him to publish the chronicle and it will appear in the near future. In this history he states that Freemasonry is only an off shoot of Rosaecrucianism, resulting from a visit of an earnest young seeker after truth named Saloman, or Solomon, to the Masters in Egypt 2,000 years ago. No one knows how many members of the order are in America today. About two hundred and fifty have been permitted to "cross the threshold" since Mr. Lewis received his commission; but aside from these there is a small army of initiates especially prepared for the great work of the next few years in the European and Oriental lodges. So far they do not know each other, and they do not know what particular work will be assigned to them. But they are waiting for orders from the Supreme Council of the World and all are confident that the destiny of America is wrapped up with the Rose and Cross. With Mr. Lewis's commission as Grand Master General came official seals and symbols of authority. Then, through devious sources, which he says were unknown even to the Grand Master, came some treasured jewels of the order. Most treasured of all was the original SCARAB of Thutmose III, used by the ancient founder to impress his cartouche upon his royal decrees. This cartouche was adopted as the first seal of the order and the SCARAB was used for hundreds of years in Egypt by the Supreme Masters who succeeded him. The obelisk in Central Park bears this cartouche of Thutmose. The presence of the original Scarab in the hands of the Master of the New World is taken to symbolize the passing of the founder's spirit from Egypt to America. ROSAECRUCIANS have been anticipating the great change in America for centuries," said Royle Thurston, summarizing the forecast for the American Rosae
4
Crucis, official magazine of the Order, published at No. 80 Fifth Avenue. "It was decreed that beginning with the year 1916 these States should come under the Uranian influence of the Spirit. Gradually the change has occurred and more visible becomes the influence in all the affairs of life. "We find Thursday becoming the day of choice, subconsciously, for the starting and accomplishing of important things. In even minute matters we find the number 7 figuring conspicuously. We find the CROSS in various forms being adopted in place of more decorative or more representative symbols. We note that the mind of the nation inquiries rather of the Laws and Causes o f things than of results. We see the desire for peace and harmony supplanting the 'glories' of war and strife. The inner desire for religious study, for attunement with the Infinite and a more intimate acquaintance with God and the Divine Laws of Love, Peace, Power and Knowledge is more manifest than ever before."
WHAT ROSAECRUCIANISM IS By a Rosaecrucian. ROSAECRUCIANISM is the Alpha and Omega of all learning, a philosophy, a science, an art and a secret - all of these, inseparable and one. It teaches the world's most profound secrets. It explains life and its phenomena; it makes plain biology and ontology; it reveals life and death in a different light than that generally understood. It deals as comprehensively with cosmogony, astrology (the original science of astronomy as first taught by Rosaecrucians) and geology as with metallurgy, medicine, art and philosophy. It reveals the life we have lived and the life we shall live as plainly as the life we are living. It takes from science in all its branches the great mysteries which have defied solution by the lay mind and the uninitiated. It makes of all members real brothers and sisters; it makes the humble mechanic or artisan in America the equal, the peer, of the most powerful ruler in Europe, not by humiliation, but by the true law of equality.
