THE MONUMENT FINISHED

Monday morning about IL o'clock
all the whistles of the steamboats,,
factories, mills, pump-boats, railroad
engines, ETC., Joined in a mighty din
of screams, toots and shneks that
instantly brought everyone to their
feet who were not already up. Some
of the FIRE company dashed pell nell
to the hose-house thinking of course,
that everything in that busy end of
the town was mass of flames. Soon
the telephone exchanges were busy
answering inquiries, and as the ''hel-
10 girls had been posted, their ans
wer was simply.
''THE Monument IS COMPLETED"
And such is fact. That which
hao been talked of, dreamed of and
labored for for so many years was at
last reality and our citizens, ladies
and gentlemen, should not be cen
sured if they breathed silent
thank heaven" that sunshine had
at last dispelled the dark clouds of
doubt and fear. We will give more
extended account in our next issue.

PROMINENT PRESCOTT PEOPLE
 MEET WITH CHINESE MASONS

By special invitation the Prescott Courier reporter attended the meeting of Chinese Free AIasons in their hall on Granite street and says that he never attended a more dignified gath ering or one where the proprieties and courtesies were observed to a more marked degree. In the assemblage were many Of Prescotts leading eiti

Unfortunately, he does not talk English, but his intel lectuai face, earnest tone, forceful gss- ticulation and venerable appearance were so impressively interesting that he held an audience that did not un- derstand a word he said. As the re- porter listened to him his mind in voluntarily reverted to Confueius, the great Chinese philosopher who was born $50 years before Christ and who now has 256 100000 followers in China and Japan and who probably gave the world it's first version of the Solden rule, when he said, what you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others" The talk of the grand secretary was given in sections in or der that a well dressed and affable young Chinaman might translate from memory what the grand lecturer said. This he did to the best of his ability in broken English, making those pres ent understand that the organization was a really revolutionary patriOtic society having for its object the over throw of the Manchurian dynasty in China and substituting for it the same

For many years it has been the popular belief that Hannibal Hamlin, wee president with Abraham Lincoln In the iatter's first term, was not re- nominated because Lincoln did mol believe Hamlin to be his friend. and therefore favored the nomination of Andrew Johnson. Charles E. Hamlin
 a grandson of Hannibal Haml'n, has coIlabeTated in a work entitled Life and Times of Hannibal Hamlin," and he produces a mass of evidence which q 'scIoses that Lincoln was really de sirous of Hamlin's renomination and that the stories to the contrary were merely newspaper gossip and were without any substantial foundation.

kind of a government which George Washington started in the United States. He referred to Napoleon BonapaTte, saying they wanted to wake the sleepy heads in China, evil dentiy referring to Napoleons oft quoted saying that China was a sleep ing giant and that 1t was better for the world to let her sleep.
 He also stated that men of all na- tions of the earth were eligible to membership in the order of Chinese Free Masons save the Manchurians. showing again that the movement was to overthrow Manchurian control of Gina, which has prevailed for the most of the time since the Tartars overran the country many years ago.
 His reference to the sacking of large cities and the massacre of all inhabitants sounded much like the ac- counts given in history of the ravages Of Timour the Tartar, and he may have been referring to them.
 Much stress was laid upon the fact that Gina is sending her brightest young men to American and European colleges in order that they may re- turn to Gina and lead her people to the front rank of modern progress and free government.
 After the grand lecturer had con cluded his talk, there was a social function on the order of a smoker" Cigars were passed around. also ham sandwiches and liquid refreshments of several colors.
