THE NEW ODD FELLOWS IEMPBE.-Ihe
Convention of Committees appointed to take
into consideration the proprlety OF erecting
new Odd Fellows Hall, met last evening at the
nall of the Grand Lodge, Sixth and Cressou
streets, Mr. Henry Hopkins, President, in the
Chair. The attendance was very small, only
twenty-one organizations being represented.
During the evening the delegations of eight
Lodges were Withdrawn. The Committee on
Bylaws being absent, no report was made by
them. Printed copies Of the charter we're dis
tributed, ana objections TO the instrument were
SO strongly urged that the Committee on By
Laws we're instructed to report amendments
especially clause declaring that the As5ocla-
tion should consist OF at least one representa-
tive from each Lodpe and Encampment. The
officers disclaimed any intention, on their part,
to take advantage OF ang undue power grated
in the chatter and said that they were not at
all pleased with the instrument. general eX-
preston of confidence in the officers present
was then made by the members OF the C0nVen.
tion. After a warm discussion, the onlcers oil
the Convention were appointed a committee to
draw up a memorial TO be presented 10 the
Grand Lodge and Grand c8mpment relative
to the new temple The Convention adjourned
|. to meet on the first Saturday evening In May;
yOnly one additional subscription was announced
that of Vigaut Lodge-ot one hundred shares
of stock ($500). As the matter now stands, 1t IS
probable that new association will be formed;
the present charter will be properly and accept
ably amended, and the Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows Will have temple built which
will be a credit to the city and the great orsan-
zation that will make use Of it.
HIGH SCHooL.-At the High School yes
terday in obedience to the instructions of the
High School Committee Professor Mcguire read
to the school the reprmand OF the Board OF
Control because OF the petition in favor of the
Principal. 1t is evidence OF the good discipline
in the Institution that the boys heard 1t in
silence. When the Principal retired, the Kisses
became general, however. In this connection
we may publish the resolutions OF the Forty
third Glass OF the Alumni, adopted at their re-
tirrr Mr. I 4
and Mr.. George I. Barnes acting as Secretary
Whereas We have heard with surprise the efforts
now beng made to displace the present distin-
gushed Principal of the Central High SchOo(j
And tchereds, We believe it to be the duty of those
familiar with the workings of the institution to
deavor to place t in the proper light; therefore be 1t
ResoiUed, That Nicholas H. Mcguire. by his strenu-
and untiring efforts, has greatly improved the
discipline OF the school by establishing 1t upon
basis of individual sel-resnect.
ReSolved, That by his efficient management, cour-
teous department, and kindly sympathy, he has en-
deared himself to the members of this class
Resolved hat We would deeply feel the loss which
woud result 10 ourselves, the school, and the pubic
flOm his removal.
Resolved, So far as our knowledge extends, we
feel confident that the cnarEes have no Foundation
but IN the minds of interes'ed parties
Resoived, That the bad repue OF the school is due
not to the mismanac emen' of the Principal but to
the negligence and incompetency of certain pro-
tessOrs.
ReSoived, That as members of the Alumni and of
the community, we appeal to the Boaro of control
