Chinese Masonic Temple Dedicated fin
 Boston-Notes.

Boston-Notes.
 The Chinese Freemasons now have a temple in Boston. It is situated in Mount Hope cemetery, and is the only one in the United States It was dedicated by Grand Master Gong Hoar, of the Chinese Masonic order, and the ceremony was most peculiar and interesting. The temple is built of brick, with solid masonry foundation. It has no roof, and only brick wall IS inches high incloses it. Two furnaces are located in the rear in which offerings to the gods in memory of dead Chinamen are made. Gong is remarkable looking Chinaman, 6 feet tall, dressed in American clothes and sporting a heavy black mustache. A pair of eyeglasses set off an intelligent countenance which is very unlike the.ordi- nary Chinaman's.
 In the jurisdictions of Pennsylvania and England the wei of the past master is a silver square and the diagram of the forty seventh proposition, first book of Euclid, engraved on a silver plate pendent within it. In other jurisdictions it is the com passes extended to 60 degs., with sun in the center.

It is g by 1G0 feet, divided, however, by an area for light and ventilation. The remainder of the lot-44 by 52-is used for lawn tennis court.
 The gable rests on circular columns and contains three openings, one of which has a semicircular cap. The angle is finished in fancy work. On the right is tower rising considerably above the building proper, capped with a conical roof. The parapet between the tower and gable is decorated with square open ings in the brick work.
 The entrance is by the tower, through large double doors, over which is in- scribed in large letters, "Young Mems Christian Association" The remainder of the first floor, on the front, is occu- pied by two stOrerooms, with extensive plate glass and show windows. The rental from these makes a permanent source of revenue to the association.
 The association has about trebled its membership since entering the new building, and though its current ex- penses are doubled money has never been secured so easily. MT. Atha T. Jamison is the general secretary, who for eight years has been managing the work. This building has made possible a more aggressive work for the young men of the community, and has given the association a prestige and a guaran- tee of permanency that nothing else could have bestowed.

ing the dupe of bunco steerers. 1t

a farm, and that he was a nephew OF
Charles w. Ross, of Frederick. The
usual mode Of the bunco man was re-
sorted to. Mr.. Cramer was asked to
try his fortune at a game OF cards.
He then went to Frederick with one
OF the men and went to the Citizens
National Bank, where he drew 81 400.
He then went to the Central National
Bank TO draw some more, but there
met Charles w. Ross, to whom he
stated lie had chance to make
SIS, 900 for 81, 400. Mr.. Ross told him
that the men were swindlers and held
Mr.. Cramer at the bank. One OF the
men made an offer to sell Mr.. Cramer
sl5, 900 for 81, 400. One OF the parties
had $50, 900 in counterfeit mony on
