A Chicago Experiment on the Coz
Operative Sclf-Governing Plan.
A unique club for bachelor women has
Just been organized on the South Side, says
the Chicago InterOcean. Its headquarters
will be in a large nat building on Bowen
avenue. between Vincennes avenue and Grand
boulevard. Recently an advance guard
of dozen young women took possession OF
the new quarters, each proud Of the possess
sion of a latchkey.
The club has been founded by Mrs. Alice
Asbury Abbott, and is the only one of the
kind in the city, although 1t bears some re-
semblance to Miss Adams Jane club. 1t
will be run en- the cooperative plan and will
be self governed.
The building is a fine stone front. in one
of the best neighborho3ds in the city. 1t is
one of three fiat buildings adjoining each
other. and owned by Mrs. Abbott. There are
eight fat. OF eight rooms each, four of which
are now available for the uses of the club,
with a probability that the others can be
secured during the summer
The plan Of amusement is this: Each
young woman who becomes a club member
pays a minimum price of $3.50 per week.
The club Is to be her home, and this pays
all the expenses of her board and lodging.
This is the price, provided two women share
one room. For single room the price will
be from 81 to $3.50 per week. For each suite
of eight rooms there is large double parlor,
fitted up handsomely Besides this there Is
a big plain room set apart for sewing darn
ing, handkerchief washing and the like.
The bed rooms are furnished in oak, With
rugs and brass beds. The building has steam
heat, gas, hot and cold baths. There will be
common dining room, at least until the
club is more settled. In few days the
club members are to have a meeting for the
election of officers and formation of club reg
uations. The chief officer will be house
mother, assisted by committee. For this
position Mrs. Abbott hints that she hopes to
persuade cultured and financially independ
ent woman Of the city to become responsible.
Who this is she will not say as yet, but 1t
is a woman who will volunteer to live in the
club, superintend its workings, and chaperon
the bachelor girls
cook and janitor are already on the
premises, and the other servants will soon
be arranged for.
Gus the city are interested. and an informal
meeting was held Saturday to discuss the
matter with Mrs. Abbott Letters were
sent to the leading working women of the
various clubs, and they are taking up the
question among themselves At present
Mrs. Abbott is assuming the financial re-
sponsbility as this has long been a pet
scheme of hers
lust what the club will be named has not
been decided. but it is probable that THE
Altrui," suggested by Mrs. Sherwood, will be
accepted. One feature s large assembly

bott to allow the young ladies who wish to
furnish their rooms wholly, or in part, ac-
cording to their individual tastes. The |

PORTRAIT OF THOMAS

Mooney, of New York; has been pre-
sented to the Supreme Court by his
grandson, II. r. Devereux, and now

distinguished men the Library lie

Deyereux and Francis Pollock Deyer-
eux- graduated with first distinction
at Yale la 1913, licensed to practice law
shortly afterwards. aud was admitted
at Newborn Term, 1916, TO practice in
the Federal Court at Raleigh married
Cathariiae Ann Johnston, of Connecti-
cut in 1915. Many children were born
of this marriage and among them was
the late Major john Devereux. His
wife died, and he was married again,
in 1887, TO Ann Maitland. He died at
his home at Conoconarra IN Halifax
county, on March nth, 1869, and was
| buried in the old cemetery i'm this city.
| His wife survived him a number of
years.
| Mr. Deyereux is best known to the
| profession of the present day by the
| efficiency which he displayed in the
| position Of official Reporter of the SUI
preme court during the period of his
service from 1928 to 1899. Associated
with him in this work for portion of
the time, were the late Judge Badger
and the late Judge Battle He was
for many years a prominent practi-
| toner in the Supreme court, and the
| United States District Attorney for
North Carolina, and, after retiring
from practice in 1845, was for a long
time chairman of the Court of Pleas
and Quarter Sessions of Halifax coull-
| tn, where he lived and had large farm
ing interests.
He had bought very large quantity
of salt, about the commencement of
| the late war between the States, in
| tending to use it rs q fertilizer, but
seeing that many people in his section
needed the salt he abandoned his ORR
ginal intention, and exhibited his gen
| erosity in distributing it Ca much need
ed article at that time) but the gift
was coupled with the condition, how
| ever. that those who got the salt
should knit socks, which was done, and
| ne gave the socks to the State and they
were sent to the North Carolina Con-
| fedrate sldiers. While there was some
| compensation demanded, yet the trans
| action is impressed with the character
of kind generosity and noble patriot
ism on the part of Mr.. Deyereux. He
is now gratefully remembered by
many Of our old citizens, especially IN
/ Halifax county.

STREET COMMITTEES REPORT.

The street committee, through its
chairman. Mr.. John c. Drewry, made
its report. This report shows that
GREAT deal of permanent work has
been accomplished during the year,
the streets are in a better condition
than ever before, and all has been done
1T IN expenditure no greater than was
required under the old system OF tenn
porary work.
The report is, in brief, as follws
The improvements on North Will
mington street are being pushed for
ward with reasonable dispatch. There
has been some delay in the work on the
Morgan street bridge, due to slight
misunderstanding of the contract.
This, however, has been corrected to
the entire saticfaction of your com
mittee, and the work is now progress
ing nicely. and we have every assur-
ance from the railroad authorities that
it will be FASTENED to completion at
once. We have enterd into a contract
with Messrs. Linehan d Son, Of this
city, by which they agree to grade and
curb Hillsboro street from the capitol
to the bridge at a cost of 37A cents
per lineal foot We are anxious to
push forward the work of grading
and curbing our sidewalks as rapidly as
possible, consistent with due regard
to economic intelligence and our city S
demand. The work on Hillsboro street
is to be commenced Immediately. Our
Street Commissioner, Mr.. Blake, who
is one of our most faithful and capa
BILE officers, is in full sympathy and ac-
cord with us in this movement. The
broadening of South Fayetteville street
near the Centennial Graded School is
now in progress. x We recon-
mend to the board the broadening of
North Wilmington street, from North
Street to Polk street, and ask that His
Honor the Mayor be requested to APP

ages done to property by reason of the
widening of this street. This is the
only block on this street from the cap

its beauty, and the improvements con-
