The nninois odd Fellows Building to Beat
Them All.

Xhe Illinois ODD Fellows building I'd beat
Them All.
And now the Illinois Odd Fellows
propose to out-do. the Masons, and, in
fact, everybody else. They say their
new Chicago temple is to be one of
the biggest, best and most beautiful
buildings in America. Plans and
specifications have been prepared,
and all that is needed is to select one
of the many sites which, the building
committee has under consideration.
The temple will be so constructed as
to serve the purpose of an office
building as well as a society rendez-
yous. 1t will be thirty-four stories
high and will be So peculiarly con-
structed as to have windows in every
apartment facing the light. The
main portion Of the building will be
twenty stories high, the tower con-
stituting the remaining fourteen
stories and rising to height of $50
feet. The area of the site will be
43, 900 square feet, and the broad base
1T by 210 feet, will cover the entire
tract to height of thirty feet above
the sidewalk The "breaks" and deep
recesses of the long facades are so

Good Health Catching.

Bob Ingersoll being asked how he
would have improved upon the laws
of nature, replied that he would have
made health catching" instead of
disease! Thousands of his admirers
have laughed over this witticism,
ignoring the fact that nothing in all
this world is one thousandth part as
contagious as health. Both in the
animal and vegetable kingdom, gen.

MY LOVE-

Not AZ l.., other women are
Is she that to my soul is dear;
Her glorious fancies come from far,
Beneath the silver evening-star
And yet her heart is ever near.
Great feelings hath she Of her own.
Which lesser souls may never know;
God giveth them to her alone
And sweet they are as any tone
Wherewith the wind may choose to blow.
Yet in herself she dwelIeth not.
AL hough no home were half so fair;
No simplest duty il forgot;
Life hath no dim and lowly spot
That doth not ia her sunshine share.
She doeth little kindnesses,
Which most leave uRdoue or despise;
For naught that sets one heart at ease,
And giveth happiness or peace,
Is low-esteemed in her eyes.
She hath no seorn of co anon things,
And though she seem of other birth.
Round us her heart entwines and clings,
And patiently she folds her wings
To tread the humble paths of earth.
Blessing she is: God made her so,
And deeds of weekday holiness
Fell from her noiseess as the snow;
Nor hath she ever CHANGED to know
That aught were easier than TO bless.
She is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonic;
Feeling or thought that was not true
Meier made lie beautiful the blue
Unclouded heaven of her eyes.
She is q woman-One IN whom
The spring time of her childish years
Hath never lost it's fresh perfume,
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many bIishts and many tears.
love her with love as still
AS a broad rivers peaceful might,
Which, by high tower and lowly mill,
Goes wandering at its own free WILL
And yet doth ev>r flow Alright.
And on its full, deep breast serene,
Like quiet ises my duties lie;
1t flows aroun them and between,
And makes them fresh and fair and green
Sweet homes wherein to live and die.

JOHN pAvls's DISGRACE.
A Wcll-Known Assachs os She Richmond
Prcss Brought 90 shame.

:"
There is one unhappy creature in Rieh-
being who hangs his head in shame and
shuns the curious gaze OF the vulgar herd.
This wretched one, who was ut one time
(until Q cloud obscured the sky OF his hap
piness) one OF the happiest and jolliest OF
living creatures, Is perhaps one OF the best
known OF tho newspaper attaches and is q,
rapport with all of tho bright lights Of
Richmond journalism. He was until yes
terday full of the Joy Of care-free life.
and even a. late as MONDAY was standing
on the DfsrAIcH corner the very picture of
good humor. But, unfortunately a few
hours later his disgrace was consummated
and his joy was changed to sorrow. We
would wish to keep his name from the
public, as he was the close friend Of all
Richmond journalists, but fairness and
justice compels Us to give him the pub
licity he shuns.
Indeed. 1t would be almest impossible to
conceal the fact that II is none other than
John Davis. who has been publicly put to
shame, for 80 many have already learned
OF his disgrace that ii will be noissd abroad
ere the morning winks at the drowsy city
by the James. The worst of it IL that ii is
John Dayis's best friends who have cast
sorrow upon him.
Several newspaper men Yesterday
learned that the ordinance against un-
licensed dogs would be rigidly enforced,
and 10 save John from a speedy burial in
some obscure ravine " chipped in" for q
medal and collar. So collar was put
about his neck and medal was hung
thereto and John was left to bear his sor-
row as best he might He bears il. but he

KOUSE-BAIT FOR TROUT.
a New Way TO Catch Fish That Is Prac-
ticed in Colorado.

Mr.. Withers gives a very amusing &c
count of the capture of large trout at
Buffalo. near Denver, on the South Fork
railroad. says Forest and Stream. There Is
III that vicinity a so-called mouse winch
has the habit OF going in tho water very
freely, aud on this account we suppose
the animal TO be one OF the shrows.
He says: I'VE were led 10 try tho
mouse from the fact that on cutting open
a large trout we were very much aston
ished by finding mouse in its stomach.
A hook was passed through the skin of the
large chip in sucha manner that the mouse
could not get away from its float.
Then the chip with its live freight was
liberated III the creek some distance above
the bridge, under which the big trout was
known TO secrete himself. The chip went
merrily dancing down the stream, the
mouse running mean while backward and
forward as far as the limits OF his raft
would allow. and things went swimmingly
until the bridge was reached. Here we
saw q sudden connection, which we knew
was caused by the big trout.
His trOutshlp seemed to hit the chip
with his tail, for it flew into the air foot
or more above the surface OF the water,
and lie swallowed the mouse. The fisher
man in charge OF the line succeeded, after
some difficulty, In landing the trout,
which proved TO be iye-pOunder,"
Afterward Slr. Withers learned that the
live mouse was known TO many of the
fishermen as one of the most killing bats
for the black-spOtted trout, and ITS use Is
very general III that part of Colorado.

QUESTION OF A DEFICIT.
To Be Considered by the Board OF Com
missioners of the Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, September THE National
Board of Commissioners OF the Worlds
Fair and the National Board of Lady Man
ayers will meet In this city tomorrow.
One of the matters to come before the
commissioners will be the question OF how
10 avoid deficit In its appropriation for
the year of about S23,000. 1T is probable
that this will be accomplished by cutting
down salaries. President Palmer has
already agreed to giye up his 81, 900 salary,
aud Director General Davis submits vol
unfairly to cut of $4,000 in his, and
SIP 900 Is to be saved by dispensing with
the April meeting.
An afternoon paper says that the Finance
Committee has considered with favor q
proposition to ask Congress to make the
Fair management loan of five million
dollars, taking mortgage on the receipts
for its repayment. but it has not been de-
ciden upon. In any event, as the Govern
ment has provided for the giving OF med,
ais and a jury Of award, II is understood
that Congress will be asked to appropriate
money enough to pay for the medals and
the expenses iof the jurles OF award. be-
tween S5O0,OO0 and 100000.
