TO ERECT AN ODD Fellows BUILDING.
The hall association Of tho G. U. o. Of Odd
Fellows arc making strenuous efforts to erect a
building for their order this year and to raise
the small amount still due on the lot recently
purchased by them. To perfect the arrange
ments for this end all members of the order have
been requested to meet in Mt. Zion N. E. Church
on Monday, June g. A handsome prize is to
be awarded the lodge turning in tho largest
amount Of money. At this coming meeting the
order will be addressed by Past Grand Master
David A. Clark, who Is O member Of the sub
committee Of management.
PATRIARcHs' DRILL.
The exhibition drill which was to have been
held by Patriarchies No. IS and a, g. U. O., at
Odd Fellows Hall proved a failure the pro-
motors say, owing to the change Of program by
the committee In charge. When Capt. Beckett
and his men OF No. AZ appeared in the hall they
were informed that the drill would be COM
petitive one and not an exhibition drill
Capt. Beckett promptly declined to drill,
by q member of Patriarchy No. IS. After
the drilling Of No. IS Patriarchy No. A was
loudly called for and finally consented to give
an exhibition drill. At Its conclusion the
judges present complimented the members in
the highest terms, saying had they entered the
competitive drill they would without doubt
have won the prize.
LAUxDRYMEN COMPLAIN.
Messrs. Chin Guey, Chey Hung and Ying Lee
are, as indicated by their names, laundrymen.
They have grievance against young America
in general and the young Of Georgetown in par
ticular. They complain that their windows
have been assaulted and their tempers rufied:
That the Mclean kid is no respecter of seniority
and no good. Mr.. lungs windows were
bombarded with stones. A large mirror was
smashed and other damage was done, and Mr.
Hung wants the police to use their influence in
his behalf. Mr.. Guey declares that he would
rather have a bull in his china shop than
Georgetown boy. His sign has been eloped
with and he asks police interference. Mr.. Lee
tells substantially the same tale Of woe. Lieut.
Swiudells told STAR reporter that he intended
that these Mongolians should have a show: they
had suffered injury and loss and that the sew
enth precinct police would see them through.
OPPOSE THE ABOLITION OF THE HIGH SERVICE
PUMP.
The citizens say in speaking Of the proposed
abolition of the high service pump house on Q
street between 32d and SD street that tSey
will never submit to the change proposed by
tho Engineer Commissioner, as they know that
the twelve-inch Washington connection
which they propose to make will
not only furnish an inadequate supply Of
water, but is liable at any time to leak or play
out and leave the city without the greatest OF
necessities. Georgetown people say they have
rights In this case which the people Of WASH
