A Birthday Concert Exhibition
of Relics, &c.

An entertainment as tastefully unique in
certain features as it was elegant in all of its
appointments, was given by Mrs. Col Herr,
eerner of Main aud Sycamore streets, this
city, on Friday evening of last week. The
proceeds were for the benefit of the Methodist
Episcopal parsonage.
A poetic missive distributed several days in
advance announced Mrs. Eerr's purpose to
celebrate the birthday of Ii HING Chang, in
which, the suggestion was broadly given that
an appropriate response from The recipients
ofthese missives, which were accompanied with
a significant diminitive purse, was expected.
1t was well that the Herr mansion had ca
pacious halls else LII Hung would have had
no more birthdays to celebrate-the throng
would have crushed him. At an early hour
the recipients of invitations began to gather
giving the reception committee as much bust
ness to handle as has his Celestial Highness
in handling the affairs OF his kingdom.
Ii Hung Chang was handsomely attired in
the gorgeous trappings of his race and station,
and naturally and properly constituted the
central figure of the company. In his usual
vestments LII Hung is considered by the ladies
a handsome man but on this occasion he was
absolutely magnificent. "The Yellow Hi"
of pictorial newspaper fame was odious in
comparison.

Upon the close of the program the audi
ence were handsomely entertained with re-
freshments.
In connection with this much more than
usual enjoyable affair collection of ancient
wares and curios were on exhibition, among
which was Il China cream pitcher that had
reached its l50th anniversary, a cup of 100
years, meat plate 100 and silk fan that had
been worn by Mrs. Herr's ancestors before
the beginning of the present century.
The reception committee were Mrs. A. Fl.
Huber, Mrs. Ella Morgan, Messrs. W. II.
Davis and Reverdy N. Snader.
The committee on refreshments consisted of
Mrs. &. W. Albaugh, Mrs. Samuel H..

Herr, Miss Emma Crout, Miss Mary Nico-
demus, Miss Margaret Huber, Miss Myrle
Malehorn, Miss Rachel Buckingham, Miss
Pauline Frizell, Miss Lula Butler and Miss
Ella Fringer.
The household decorations were as eab-
crate as they were chaste and beautiful and
contributed in no small degree to the pleas
ures of the entertainment.
Financially considered, it too, we under
stand, was a success.
