CHINESE MASONS IN AN ENJOYABLE
 EVENING

By special invitation the Courier re. porter was present at the Chinese tenn pie last evening at the celebration of the 600th anniversary of the birth of Chang Outing Nung, the founder of Chinese Masonry, says the Prescott Courier. On the evening of May the celebration of this remarkable man 's birth is had by every Chinese tong in the world. The Prescott Chinese tenn pie on this occasion was brilliantly H. luminated with electric lights, while a very creditable floral display was in evi' dence. A new phonograph discoursed patriotic Chinese airs and songs, while the steady detonations of large gong put the finishing touches to make the occasion fully as Chinese as if it was being enacted in the heart of the Chi nese Empire. There were long tables covered with spotless linen, upon which rested elegant China table ware, from China, which had probably never known the touch of 8 white man, as this table service is reserved for the most impor' tant gtae occasions. The dishes were filled with tempting variety of care fully prepared edibles. The usual liquid refreshments were not lacking and ei gars passed around as the parting cour tesy to Master Masons, as we'll as the invited guests As a very courteous en tertainer, the Chinaman in his owr house is excelled by the men of nc race.
