Changes In Odd Fellowship.
The last session of the Supreme Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows made many chan
ges in the work of the order.' which will

have been introduced in the nn written
work, with a view of simplifying the ini
tiatory and degree ceremonies, all of
which go into efiect on the 1st of Janu
ary. There will be three degrees .in the
subordinate lodge instead of five as for
merly. Those who have now the first
and second degrees will rank as first de
gree members; those of the third and
fourth, as second degree members under
the new arrangement. There is one de
gree in Rebekah and three in the En
campment. .

Work on the Marine Hospital'
t The U. S.Marine Hospital, located on
Eighth.betweenNun andChurch streets, is
undergoing a thorough overhauling. Mr.
D. M.Part is the government's euper-
intendent of the workAbout sis weeks
ago the work of renovating and repair
ing the building was commenced, and it
has been steadily pushed towards com
pletion. The' "L" on tho East side of
the building and the piazzas on the
North and South faces had tumbled
down ; in fact, the entire structure was
going to pieces. Tho ."L" and piazzas
have been rebuilt and the workmen are
now busily engaged on work in the inte
rior of the Hospital. The walls, balco
nies and wood work are to be painted and
the establishment to be repaired in first-
class style. Besides, it is to be supplied
with alL modern improvements. There
is to be hot and cold water pipes through,
out the building ; force-pumps, 4 bath
rooms, 4 water-closets, an elevated oven,
range, sinks and cess-pools. The dilapi
dated old furnace lias been taken out
and each room will be furnished with
grates. The water-tanks which supply
the bath-rooms have 4,000 gallons ca
pacity. The culinary department is to be sup,
plied with all necessary appuer ten ances
and the wash room will be furnished
with stationary tubs, boilers etc. The
arround around the buildinjr within
the enclosure is to be leveled. When
the repairs were commenced about a
dozen "squatters," both white and blacky
were fronted from the bnilding, which
they had been occupying rent free for
several months. Mr. Dart is doing his
work thoroughly and when it is completed
thtU-S. Marnie Hospital will be one
of the noted no modernized buildings of
the city. .

The ffeed of a Hospital Exemplified.
Albert Faison, colored,-a poor con
eumptive, who for several months past
has been living in the cabin of a flat,
but who was removed by some women
to a house on 'Dickinson Hill'.' a few
davs ae-o. died vesterdav morninff. His
, : o w tf
case was a particulary sad one. Unable
to work he was allowed to stay on the
flat nntil it was evident ho could not
live iong, when the wner interested
himself in finding some one who would
care for him during the last few.days of
hi3 life. Tuesday night while the unfor
tunate creature was undoubtedly in tho
throes of death, his voluntary nurse be
came frightened and left the house. The
poor fellow laid on his improvished couch
for twenty-four hours with no one to ad
minister to his wants and died alone in
the deserted house. Had "there been a
hospital in this city the last few hours
of the dying man might have been easier.
There i3 much suffering of. this kind in
this city and something should be done
to relieve it. A case in point is that o
the pauper who daily falls in a fit in the
most public streets of the city while he is
askin alm3 with which to purchase his
food. .
