ANNIVERSARY To Be Celebrated in This Oity Next Mon- day. Growth of the Order Throughout the Country and in the District —Visitors Expected. The Sovereign Grand Lodge of the In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows, at its an- rval_ communication held in New York ty September, 1857, ordered that the 26th ot April be established as the anniver- | scary of the order, and required all grand | and subordinate lodges and encampments | to observe the day in some appropriate manner. The Odd Fellows of this city are | niaking extensive arrangements for cele- | trating the anniversary, which falls on | Monday next. The Order of Odd Fellows is founded on the purest and sincerest mo- tives; its alms are to alleviate the suffer- irgs of a brother, succor the unfortunate, zealously watch at the bedside of the sick, soothe the dying pillow, perform the last sad rites at the grave of a brother, offerini consolation to the afflicted, and caring for the widow and orphan. Having these prin- ciples in view, they endeavor to exemplify them by practice, and feel that the mis- sion of Odd Fellowship has not been in | vain. ‘The numerical strength of Odd Fellow- ship has been truly marvelous, being th: largest beneficent organization in existence. Very few, even among Odd Fellows, are aware of the growth of the order itself or of the significance of its influence. The figures given as representing its growth are always conservative, in accordance with the policy of the Sovereign Graad Lodge, and the table below, taken from the last report of the sovereign secretary | to the highest legislative body of the order, presents the ordér-at-large, as compared with the preceding year, as follows: venue of iodges. venue of encampments Revenue of Rebek. lo Total revenue. In the District of Columbia. | Since the early days when the order was j first established in the District of Columbia | by the institution of Central Lodge, No. 1, , it has increased in num- and in influence, and at this time there are scattered in various sections of the District twenty-one subordinate lodges, three Rebekah Icdges, four encampmeats of Patriarchs and two cantons of the Pa- triarcns Militant, with a membership of 21: subordinate lodge members, 39 Re- bekah Lodge members, 52) subordinate en- campment members and about 100 cheva- liers.

Judge Kimball in the Police Court has ex- pressed himself rather forcibly in regard to the paid bondsmen who do business about the Police Court. “Mr. Pugh,” remarked the court to the Prosecuting attorney, “we have a prisoner in the dock who was arrested once before as a vagrant, but who was released on bends in the sum: of $200. Noticing that the man is again under arrest and fearing the bond will be declared forfeited, the bondsman has stated to me that he desires to surrender the man. What have you to say In regard to the case?” think he is entirely too late,” replied Mr. Pugh. “He should ask that a bench warrant be issued.” “Yes,” added the court. “and I will see to it that he refunds the $10 paid for going on the bond. This practice of taking money for bonds and then attempting to surrender the defendant when’ he is again arrested is improper.” The pending case against the prisoner be- ing dismissed, he was restored to liberty, 10 action being taken on the request of the bondsman that he be surrendered. ey Granted a Divorce. Mary E. Rush, whose maiden name was Fieler, has been granted a divorce from Giles C. Rush on the ground of desertion. They were married in Baltimore, Md., De- cember 18, 1884, their two children dying in infancy.

Property on the 6outh Side of Penn- sylvania Avenue Brings Near- ly 824 a Square Foot. The real estate men who Buy and sell Property {fmproved: and unimproved in Washington show a ssingular diversity of opinion on the prevailing conditions in their business. An inquiry addressed to ‘one will be met by the reply that a very marked improvement is noticeable, and the very next man interrogated will declare that business is as dull as the back of a case knife in every direction. The majority of realty dealers, who had this question propounded to them during the past three days, however, expressed themselves as the first one quoted did, and consequently the preponderance of this sort must be taken as a true reflection of the real state of affairs. There are several deals of consid- erable importance on the boards, three of which contemplate a change in the owner- slip of property in important business sec- ticns, but negotiations have not reached a point where publicity would be wise. In recording last week the sale of the property on 13th street, east side, adjoin- ing the corner of I street, The Star re- porter took the dimensions of the lot as given in the plat book, and estimated the square foot price of the lot at $7.20. The Ict, however, is smaller than given in this column and the price really paid for the property was within a small fraction of $10 a foot. It is highly Important that this correction should be madc, as it indicates a much better value of property in that neighborhood and shows that it is steadily improving. Pennsylvania Avenue Property. During the past week a sale was made of property on Pennsylvania avenue, south side, adjoining the southeast corner of 10th street. The corner property is owned by Miss Ella F. Hubby of Cleveland, Ohio, and she purchased the lot adjoining through B. H. Warner & Co. The consid- eration given in the deed for the property, which contains only 677 feet, but is the key to the corner, was given at $10, nominal, of course, but it is understood that the actual price paid was $16,000. This represents a price of about $23.75 a square foot. This, however, is regarded as a reasonable fig- ure, in view the effect the completion of the new city ‘post office will have in im- proving business conditions on the south side of the avenue. The purchase gives Miss Hubby a frontage on the avenue of about 40 feet, with a depth on 10th street of G0, and the owner contemplates erecting an amposing building on the site in the early future. There is every indication of a lively summer in suburban building. Early next week Mr. C. J. Ubhoff will com- mence the erection of seventeen very at- tractive houses in Petworth addition to Washington. They will occupy seventeen separate lots, which have frontages of from 40 to 50 feet and depths of 100. The houses will be of the villa style, from plans drawn by Architect Edward Woltz. No two of the houses will be alike, but all will have striking frontscand an abundance of verandas. They will, contain from eight to ten rooms each, with cellars, and the first floors will all be finished in quartered oak, and will be equipped with artistic cab- inet mantels and'ttled fireplaces. The baths will be alsoitiled. The houses will be heated by furnaces and equipped with’ fixtures for both gazand electric lighting. Mr. William Hoithead, representing a syndicate which owms a square in the Pet- worth addition—which, by the way, is the only subdivision adjacent to Washington which strictly conforms to the origina] plan of the city—is having plans made for two large and handsome villas to be erected this summer7on the property. Mrs. Lizzie H. Bentley will shortly oc- cupy the new residence which she is just completing at 7th ag Omah: - eompl aha streets, Pet- A Novel Butiding. The Cleveland Parie‘Company will erect @ very novel and arttstic building at Cleve- jJand Park, from plans’ by Waddy B. Wood. It will cover a large space and will have a low, uneven eppearanoce... The first story will be. of native rubble stone -and the second of moss green shingles. A porch of much depth, with stone columns, will stretch across the front, and there will be a side porch where a fine panoramic view of the city can be obtained. The first floor will contain a large recention hall, with leaded glass windows and window ! seats. Theré Will be sliding doors, ena- bilhg the hail to be thrown into one with the partor and dining room. The parior will be finished in ivory enamel and ihe fining room in open beam Work, the ceil- 142 854 wood work being finished in Fiem- ish oak. zee, Walis will be covered with green burlap and there will be a ted brick frantel. A butler's paniry will connect the latter apartment with the kitchen. The eee floor will contain four large cham- ers and a bath. Furnace heat will be supplied and the house will be electric lighted. There will be much activity in Brightwood Park. Architect Julius Ger- muller is planning two cottages of modern character, and it is announced that Diller B. Groff will build a number of dwellings. Mr. Henry A. Willard, who ts always im+ proving his valuable properties, is building an extension to the fine residence he owns at No. 1337 K street in the shape of a din- ning room, which will be one of the most artistic apartments in the city when com- pleted. W. Bruce Gray planned it. By a clever arrangement the sideboard will occu- py the bay projection, and above it will be a fine window. A china cabinét will be not the least attractive feature of the room. During the week permits for about $60,000 worth of new.buildings have been granted, and for repairs amounting to $15,000 or $20,000 more. Another Apartment House. Architect N. T, Haller has made the plans for a five-story apartment house on N street between 4th and 5th streets, for Mr. Charles T. Goder. The contract has been awarded to Thomas & Graham, and work will be begun at once. The building will have a buff brick and Indiana lime- stone front, and will be G0 by 160 feet in dimensions. The suites will be arranged for families, and there will be also smaller ones for bachelors or couples. Furnaces will heat it, and there will be a passenger elevator. The baths will be tiled, and all the conveniences of a modern apartment house will be added. Ses $1.25 To Baltimore and Re- $1.25 turn vin Pennsylvania Railroad.
