special to The New Age:
spokane is a very pretty city. the
streets are level, many of them maca.
demized. beautiful lawns. trees and
mowers gladden. the eyes of one so
long denied these gifts of nature. The
iaiis are also quite interesting. and
one can imagine the scene to be one

under whose auspices the street fair
and carnival begins tonight. to last
until the 14th. 1t will be similar TO
the one held in Butte last year. Rates
are given over all railroads. so IL will
pc quite lively here for the next ten
days or more.
The people here seem to be quite
progr ssive, many holding responsible
and lucrative positions. Another
thlng | note with pleasure is that
there does not seem to exist that de.
gree of prejudice which we find in
Butte. Colored people are admitted
TO some, if not all of the best places
In the city. The Palm, one of the
nnest restaurants and ice cream par
lors have ever seen, in fact. it is a
dream of beauty, judging from the ex
terror, as yet | have not visited the
interior, is one of the places where
they are treated with courtesy. Visit.

friends, We found at two tables we're

refrain from smiling at the three ma.
tionalities represented, thing we do
not often see in places of the better
class in Butte; the most discrimina.

Society Notes.
The Odd Fellows gave an entertain.
ment on the 81 of July 1t was quite
well attended. A concert was given
after which dancing was INDUCED in.
until late hour. The programme was
as follows:
Reading history of the Odd Fellows.
by Miss Nellie Sparrow. Instrument.
al solo, Miss Porter. which was loudly
applauded. Solo by Mr.. Paine was
finely rendered and enchored. Miss
Blanche Knight recited 'Lasca" in a
very creditable manner, full of dra-
matte fire. The piece is one requiring
considerable skill to bring out its fine
points That she succeeded was shown
by the hearty applause given, to which
she responded with a humorous reci-
tatiOn, How We Hunted a Moose, "
which brought the house down, show
ing the young lady to be equally at
home in either style of oratory.
The next number was a song, THE
/ Enchantress, by Miss Minnie Brown.
which was beautifully rendered. After
much applause she sang, Mighty
Lake Arose" by Nevin. Miss Brown
is a very beautiful and talented young
/ lady, and with all so modest and un-
assuming that it is a pleasure to meet
her, and it is our earnest wish that
she may still reach onward and up
ward until she reaches the highest
pinnacle of success for which she is
so nobly striving.
The programme was ended with a
solo by Mr.. Clarence Banks, who
has a very pleasing voice, full of ex.
preston.
The services at the A. NJ. +. church
Sunday, August 2, were in the nature
of a musical programme. First music
by the choir, then invocation. An ad'
dress by Rev Lee To, a Chinese con.
vert. who gave a very interesting ac-
count of the missionaries in China
Two solos were sung by his little
daughter, one in English and one in
/ her native tongue, which were quite
pleasing TO the congregation. Sever,
al recitations were given by different
/ young ladies. a trio by three gentle
men. Mr.. Bank sang Beyond the
I Gates of Paradise. and Rev. and Mrs
/ Payne rendered a duet Rev Payne
also sang a solo. The collection.
which amounted to s625, was taken
up By Mr. Stafford. Mrs. Petway was
baptised and with two other ladies'
was received as full members Of the
church. The meeting closed by sing
ing GLORY BE TO the Father, and
benedictiOu.
Miss Minnie Brown and Miss Blanch
knight attended the tneater last Wed
