AN EVENING OF PLEASURE.
A Social Entertainment Given by Mrs. Fisher. in Honor of Her Daugh-
 ter, at Dake's Opera House

\ Social Entertainment Given by Mrs.
 Fisher. in Honor of Her Daugh-
 ter, at Dake's Opera House
 Last Night.
 One of the most delightful social functions given in Prescott for many months was that given last evening by Mrs. J. Lloyd Fisher, in honor of her daughter. Miss Olive Fisher. It was given at Dake's opera house and the hall was crowded with ladies and gentlsSen until about midnight
 4f Fisher was bornA in Prescott and has grown up in the town. She has been absent for the past four or five years, attending Irving institute, at San Francisco. from which institu- tion she graduated last month.
 The hall. for last nights social en- tertainment. was most artistically decorated. The decorations were not elaborate. but were so appropriate and so tastefully arranged as to trans form the place from a public audi torium into a private drawing room of large proportions. Two immense Chinese umbrellas were suspended from the ceiling and from the points
 
 lanterns which. with the electric lights. gave a beautiful effect to the illumination of the hall. Streamers of party-colOred bunting caught up in graceful folds were stretched from side to side of the hall, while the windows were draped with curtains. The ab- . ruptness of the front of tfH stage was relieved by the clever arrangement of green vines. A sort of cosy corner fitted with a sofa and pillows. with a back ground of bunting Ornamented with fans and pictures was arranged in the southwest corner of the build ing. where the guests were received.
 Here the hostess with her two charming daughters. Mrs. Harry R. Tritle and Miss Olive Fisher. assisted by Mrs. G. W. Middleton. Mrs. J. H. Darrah and Mrs. F. A. Tritle, received the guests.
 Mrs. Fishers gown was black silk grenadine made over taffeta.
 Mrs. Harry R. Tritle was gOwned in white Paris muslin.
 Miss Fishers gown was white point desprit made over taffeta. with low neck and tucked skirt, while she car ried a bunch of pink roses in her hand
 Mrs. Middleton wore q white silk net made over taffeta.
 Mrs. Darrah wore a dark grenadine over blue silk.
 Mrs F. \. Tritle'S gown was of grey mOire.
 During the arrival and reception of the guests an orchestra discOurSed sweet strains of music and later in tha evening the grand march, led by r. A. Tritle IT,. and Miss Fisher, took place. in which all the guests partici- Dated. after which there was dancing until after midnight
 In a corner of the hall near the en- trance was q booth at which fruit juice and ice water were served.
 The stage was also transformed from its usual setting into a hand somely furnished and equipped din ing room. where most palatable re treatments were served during the evening. Every one present entered into the festivities with q zest and geniality that added to the pleasure of the ocacsion and on leaving left their best wishes for the hostess and her lovely daughter.

THE CHINESE BOY AT HOME.
His Long Hours in School and the
 Sports of the Vacation.

His Long Hours in School and the
 Sports of the Vacation.
 Among the representatives of the celestial kingdom in this city are Lee Way and his cousin. An FOOn. They are bright and intelligent. and are in tereSting characters. Of their earlier life in China they give very lucid ac- counts.
 Lee Way has been in the United States about twenty years. first To- eating in New York City. In his na- tive country he has a wife and son, and he has made frequent visits to chem since he first came to America. Lee received instruction in English be l fore he crossed the Pacific, and he and his cousin receive weekly instructions at the hands of teachers of the Baptist Sunday school and Lee especially has become proficient in his use of the English language.
 An FoOn has been in America only few years. and has resided in Og- densburg about year. He is nprried, and his wife was left behind in his native land. Before coming to Ameri- ca An FOOn was in school until he was Is, with English tutors. but his Knowledge of the language is meager. Until a few years ago there were no women teachers in all China. Now there are many. and students are re ceived until past the age of B. There are many native teachers, as well as the missionaries, who come from for eign lands. The scholars sit on high stools at desks and study aloud. At 10 and 12 years the Chinese scholars can read and write very well. Every lesson is learned by rote. The teacher always retains possession of a pun ishing stick. and occasionally lazy or tardy scholars receive a few sound raps with it.
 The scholars are at school early in the morning. and it is not uncommon for boys to study ten hours a day That would seem q long time for American boys to devote to study in a single day, but. according to An FOon. the juvenile Chinaman never grumbles at the long hours. and he and his com paniOnS climb upon their stools and sing out their lessons all at the same time as loudly as they can. Vacation is always during the rice harvesting season. Then the boys fly kites and enjoy many other pastimes which are similar to those seen in America, such as walking on stilts. playing hide and seek. blind mans buff and leap frog. We have great fun fight ing beetles. tOo," said An FOOn. Tn China there are no bad boys like here. All boys are respectful to all older than themselves. They do not think it fun to hurt other peoples feelings. One thing l have seen here is a very old trick in China. You seq boys place a package on the sidewalk and when some one stOOps to pick il up it is gone. for there is string tied 70 it. and a little boy at the other end 0f the string -Ogdensburg Journal.

THINKS NO MASSACRE WILL
 OCCUR.

Rev. Dr. H. H. Lowry, of Philadel- nbia- is quoted as saying in reference to the situation in China that "it is true the Boxers would like to kill all the foreigners there, but the place is too well defended. At Pekln, the opportunities for defense are even oet- ter. The missionaries there are col lected in the Methodist compound, which is only about three-quarters of q mile from the British legation. A relief force of no less than 900 marines must have reached Pekin before the disturbance became violent. and. no doubt. they are fully able to defend the foreigners.
 The agitation is not really directed against the Christians as such. but against the foreigners. Many Chinese Christians have been killed. but this is because they are supposed to sympa- thize with the foreigners and give them aid.
 While the Chinese are not especial Iy opposed to the Christians in general, they hate the Catholics because of what they consider their interference in politics.
 .'The Germans are perhaps more to blame than any one else for the trou- ble there. Soon after the Chinese-Jap- anese war. they tried to put in their railroads. Much opposition was raised by the Chinese, but the Germans did not give the natives proper considera- tiOn.
 'sThe masses do not care particularly who governs them as long as the rulers are native; but large class is very strongly opposed to any foreign in fiuence.
 The government can quiet the dis turbance if it only will, but many of the highest officials are in sympathy with the Boxers, some of them openly giving assistance.
 ''The whole trouble would be settled very quickly if the foreign govern ments would bring to bear their in fiuence on Pekin, and this is probably what thav will do "

REPORT OF the SECRETARY or
TUE NAVY.

There is very little IN the annual re-
port OF the Secretary Of the Navy win
which tho public IS not already familiar
Il s. evident that II al the recommenda-
lions In respect 10 new ships were com
piled with. the appropriation asked for by
the navy department would not be any
too large 10 Is not probable. however
that Congress will authorize at this
time as many vessels as that department
would have constructed az once. We sare
getting along pretty fast in building the
new navy. too fast la the opinion OF some
members OF Congress who give much at
tenton 10 naval matters. Their view s.
mat 80 many inventions and Improvement
/ OF one kind and another are being made
I that u Is only year or two after ship
is built before she begins 20 b. out OF
date There must come time pretty soon
when steel battieships Will be about As
perfect as Il viii be possible for human
ingenuity to make them.
a feature OF the report IS the account
o. the purchase Of armor. II viii be re-
called that there WAS a great nght Ia the
senate last winter over the question of
armor for the new batucships senator
Tmman led the fisht against the demands
Of the armor-making companies. his view
was that these companies would make a
big proa, n they were paid $500 per ton
for H. The Senate could not reach an
| agreement. and so Il was decided 10 leave
the whole matter 10 the Secretary OF the
Navy He was given authority 20 build
/ a plant FOR making armor IL inc arinor-
making companies would not make salts
/ factory concessions.
Il seems that the secretary worked all
last summer with the companies, and I'm
/ ally made a contract with them. Ia the
beginning their demand was s5i5 per ton
/ They finally agreed TO accept Of $3.50 per
/ ton, plus the royalty. II Is not certain
that the government will have to pay the
/ royalty. II Il does the maximum price
/ VIII be s455.59 per ton. Il viii be seen from
| this that the fght that Senator Tllman
made had the effect Of saving the govern
/ ment a large sum Of money! very large
/ sum. as the amount OF armor needed IS
about 81 900 tons.
/ About the Port Royal dock the report
says nothing more than g. already known.
| II rccites the action Of Congress rsia-
/ tive to moving the dock TO some other
| point IN South Carolina. and the appoint
ment OF a board to make a report on Tho
matter. II Is expected that the report Of
/ the board will be- ready some time Coo
/ December. In the meantime the appfopri-
alton for the rcnalr OF the Port Royal
I dock Is being heli up.
