A GREAT OCCASION.
Conner Stone Layinz by Odd Fellows.

Corner Stone Laying by Odd Fellows.
Sunday was a gala day for the Grand
United Order Of Odd Fellows. and
marked new epoch in the HISTORY of
the order in Chicago. Then occasgion
was the laying of the corner stone a.
the new Odd Fellows, Hall now In
course of erection. The seven lodges
SIX househo dds, one P. G.. M. Council
! and !: I'D one Patriarchy, with two Afro
american An brass bands, made a most
or creditable showing. The line Of march
was thrbnged with crowds of people
who witnessed the parade. Maj. Jno.
6. Blu kner, District Grand Master and
chairman of the building committee
was master of ceremonies at the cor
sner-stone laying, which were opened
by prayer by the Grand Chaplain. fol-
lowed by addresses by District Master
Frank w. Rollins and Mrs. Moody.
The Grafton was delivered by Grand
Master Edward III. Norris, who. in an
able and eloquent manner, gave clear
and concise exposition OF the great
principles of Odd Fellowship. The
Grand Master then proceeded to Law
the corner stone with appropriate GER
emonies. More than ten thousand peo-
pie We're present. All honor and praise
is due the Odd Fellows in taking this
step in advance of all other orders in
the erection Of its own hall. The Ma
sonic fraternity and the Pythians
Should wake up and follow the merito-
rious example set by the Odd Fellows.
When completed, the new hall and
ground will have cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.

BARRACKS FOR SERVANTS.

London Hears Of an Alleged American
How to obtain domestic servants
that is problem which the Women's
industrial Council is just now taking
a very, active part in endeavoring to
solve, says the London Telegraph.
With this object a subcommittee of
ladies met at the councils Office in
Busklngham street, Strand, in order
to hear theNviews of Mr.. P. v. Mighels
on the subject. The committee is do
ing its best to get light thrown on the
matter from every available source,
and gave close attention to Mr..
Mlghels' suggestion for the formation
OF domestic servants brigade, with
military organization, training and
rigid condition of service, so far as
hours, wages, food and sleeping ac-
commodations are concerned. A SIM
liar scheme, it may be mentioned, has
already been applied to char-women
with a very far amount of success.
Mr.. Mighels, who is an American, sug-
gests that a company might be floated
for the purpose of erecting barracks
Where girls could be gathered together
from various sources, and thoroughly
trained in all branches of domestic
work. Before such girls went out into
service, he would stipulate with their
respective employers that the hours
of work should not exceed twelve dur
ing the day, and that the conditions
regulating their employment should
exactly correspond with those under
which girls work in factories. Such
conditions, he feels sure could be Sc
cured, as it is swell known that the
supply of servants is only equal to
about one-tenth of the demand. It has
been proved, he points out, that the
metropolitan Association for Befriend-
ing Young Servants has only been able
to provide about one employer out Of
twenty who applied with what they
required. Presuming that the insti-
tuition which he suggests comes into
being, Mr.. Mighels considers that it
would be advisable for girls to regis
ter themselves for two years, during
which time they should subscribe, say
Is per week to the funds; and, in the
event of their being out of employ
ment at any time, they should be al
lowed to return to the barracks and
act in the capacity Of instructors to
the practitioners Whether this
scheme will come to anything or not
remains to be seen It will be consid-
cred by the committee before whom it
was laid.

.gestion strike you, gentlemen?
A NEW ENTERPRISE.

After many years of discussion the
hopes Of many Chicago ro-Ameri-
cans are about to be realized, in the!
Eopening of theatre in this city, in
which the best talent Of the race viii
appear before the footlights for the ed.
ifcation and pleasure of theatre-goer
Havlin's theatre, later the Adelphi, will
in all probability be the place. Nego-
tiations for lease were begun Mon
day by the promoters of the scheme,
and as it is the most available theatre
st will, doubtless, be secured The the
atre building is owned by. the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, and has been vacant two years,
|so little trouble is expected in getting
Ia lease under favorable conditions.
DR.. George G.. Hall, who has an office
on State street, near Harmon court, is
/ the principal hacker of the plan. He
says he is ready to spend $4,000 to
make it a success. Back of DR.. Hall
stands N. Carris, a white loan broker
I,of No s492# State street. It was Mr..
Carris who began the negotiations for
the theatre building yesterday. He
said that the terms had not been fixed,
but that he expected to get a lease on
the building in few days.
DR.. Hall admitted that he was plan
ming TO secure Haylin's theatre.
The colored people want a theatre
OF their own" he said, land several
Of us who have talked the matter over
think that a theatre for the colored
people in Chicago will pay. Our plan
IS to secure .Havlin's and organize a
colored stock company to play there.
Chicago can furnish plenty of good col
ored talent as well as plenty of patron
age for the theatre. We plan to get
together a stock company which would
make a circuit of cities when not in
Chicago, and SO be paying company.
| When the stock company is not play
ing there is plenty of colored vaude-
1 vile talent in the city to keep the the
atre going. Nothing definite has been
accomplished yet, but regard it as ex-
| tremely probable that our plans will
| be carried out. There are several of
us who stand ready with the necessary
! backing to make it a co.

The ColorL,ne Drawn,

al
Mrs. Alice Denison, who has hereto
fore filed a position as clerk in the cir
culating department Of the public Ii
brary, was discharged from her posi-
ton last week because Of her absence
on account of sickness.
Mrs. Denison is the wife of Maj. r.
A. Denison; prominent Afro-Ameri-
can member of the Chicago bar and a
Spanish American war veteran. They
live at 1913 Dearborn street. She was
placed on the probation list and went
to work last December. When the Ii
brary board held it's annual meeting,
April 9, the committee on administra-
ton, Of which G. L Hutchinson is
chairman, recommended among other
things the discharge of Mrs. Denison.
ItEWas explained that she had been abb
sent, on account OF illness, from one to
three or more days in each month of
December, January, ebruary and
March. The report was adopted.
When the case came up yesterday
Mrs. Denison appeared for herself, but
was accompanied by DR.. Daniel H.
Williams, 43034 Michigan avenue. Her
defense was that her Illness was not
unusual, and that she had contracted
|diphtheria while handling a. book in
the library during 8 April. 81
/ The commissioners waived this part
of the charges and agreed to decide
the case upon the merits Of Her service
in: the previous months. Under the
technical phrase OF, disqualified 2
which in her case amount ted to absence
because OF illness. her discharge by the
board was sustained. ssz
The truth of the whole matter ap-
pearsSto be that the library autt horities
have sonly recently discovered that
Mrs. Denison was an Afro American
and hence She suffers by the loss of her
position.

Mothers That Are Too Kind.

The so-called good mother Is too
frequently really a bad one. She makes
Of her children monsters Of selfishness.
and never ends her voluntary slavery
to them. So far as she is concerned
as mother finds her chief joy in being
a constant slave to her boys and girls.
no one need complains but such a
course ruins the children. They grow
up into selfish, il1-bred, dictatorial men.
and women, without self-control ar
discipline Of mind or body, and utterly.
ignorant Of that flower Of courtesv
which each human being should wear
forever, fresh and fadeless, making the
Wearisome places Of human life endur-
able by its charm. The most beautifuI
girl in the world. IL she thinks Of her
self alone, and shows it by bad man
ners, merits only contempt.
