Chinese New Years.

Last year the CHRONICLE made an effort
to procure reliable information regarding
the celebration of the Chinese New Year
but tailed. This year with the assistance
ofthe Butte Miner we are enabled to
throw small amount Of light on the
subject.
''Quon En-" or the first of the seven
days Of celebration begun on Saturday at
1 p. M, and it originated with the reign
of Fook Hee, the first Chinese king,
5,l26 years ago. The first day the relig-
ious duties compel the heather to feast
Oh meats, generally chicken; to wear
long coats and not to utter an untruth or
an evil word. On the second day all pay
tribute to the gods, call on friends and
exclaim, Il wish you happy New Year
and may you have plenty of riches"
The rich and poor Cinnamon alike is as
good as another on this day. The poor
Cinnamon spends usually about $40 and
the rich 500 for presents during the
week. During the week tire-crackers are
exploded and usually very little work is
done. 1t is noticeable, however, that
this morning the proprietors of the vari-
GUS wash houses were around gathering
up clothes. The fire-crackers are ex-
ploded by punches, the cracking often
lasting five minutes or more.
Sam Lee, well-to-do washerman near
the CHRONICLE Office has the ground in
front of his house completely covered
with the red exteriors of many lunches
of fire-crackers.
The Chinese religion is negative. By
keeping up a constant noise they believe
the evil one is frightened away and thus
for one week they are out of his power
This evening at o'clock San Lee will
fire 10000 tire-crackers, the punches of
five and ten thousand being tied together
and suspended from pole in front of his
place of business Other Cinnamon are
making extensive preparations and a big
time is expected.

Building Boom.

There is every reason to believe that
Bozeman will erect more new buildings
in 1884 than at any time during her past
history. One cause for this will be the
price of lumber, another the improve
ments made by outside parties and the
strengthened confidence of our citizens.
Among the new brick buildings to be
erected early in the spring in the Gala
tin Valley Bank building, an elegant
structure two stories in height. Genl.
Wilson and Thos. Lewis are also fieur-
ing on their new two-story brick to be
erected next to Gen Wilson's dry goods
store. The demand for houses to rent,
the increased business of our merchants,
the purchase of real estate by enterpris-
ing eastern men, the reputation Of our
tributary coal fields, the richness Of cur
gold, silver, irsn and copper deposits
near by, the prospects OF smelling works,
coking and iron works, etc, all 20 to
prove that Bozeman is entering upon a
fiattering ere of her history.

A co,,v of the "DaiIy Northern Pacific

A COPY of the "Daily Northern Pacific
Railroad Journal" published at Min
neapolis by d. Z, Roselle has reached us.
The number contains Il very neatly eX-
ecuted birl's-eve view of Bozenan: also
cuts of our principal buildings. In its
excellent article regarding Bozeman and
its resources we extract the following:
Within sight of town is mined the finest
bitumnous coal on the line of the road.
which is being shipped east to the timber
less areas of Dakota and west to WASH
ington Territory. The Northern Pacific
has purchased the output of the Boze-
man coal company's mine for five wears,
and the Maxy mine, near by, has just
been sold to James Maxwell, of Penn
sylyania, for s23, 900 cash. This demon
strates the quality of the coal, for Mr..
Maxwell is an expert operator i'll that
line and the mine was practically I'M
developed. 1t is part Of the plan Of the
Northern Pacific to put in coking ovens
at Boznan and thus utilize the waste
from their mines.

The APPEAL is glad to know that
there is at least one journalist in
California who despises the infa-
nous doctrines of Noah Webster,
who wrote the dryeet book on rec
ord. The man is Rufus Shoemaker
editor of the Grass Valley Tidings.
He spells the crowd who sing in
church with such delightful style
and squabble during the week,

fall in line behind Shoemaker and
read the Emancipation Proclama-
ton ofspelling reform, future gener-
atoms would thank Shoemaker and
his followers. He quotes George
Eliot as spelling it quire in Mid
March. In one of her poems,
however. she speaks of ''the choir
invisible" but she wrote Middle
March under another spell, when
she was doing her hest.

A LIVELY FIGHT AT WELLS.

Pistol Shooting at Close Quarters
The Elko Independent gives tn
following account of q very clos
range shooting scrape at Wells:
On Friday afternoon q younf
man by the name of Hawkins. who
has for some time been in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Wardell, got on some
thing of q jamboree at Wells and
succeeded in string up difficulty
in Charley Buttons saloon with the
bar-keeper, Al. Duree, when weap-
ons were drawn, and trouble began.
Duree came from behind the bar
and Hawkins threw his left arm
around Duree's neck and with his
right pressed his revolver against
Duree's face and fired. Forum
ately for the intended corpse, a BY
stander known as Tex struck Haw-
kins severe blow on the head
with revolver at the moment he
pulled the trigger, which diverted
the aim so that the ball entered
Duree's cheek. passed around I'M
der the ear AID came out at the
back Of the neck, producing a
painful, though it is thought not
dangerous, wound. Hawkins re-
ceived several severe blows upon
the head, and it is supposed that
the shot after passing through
Duree's cheek entered Hawkins left
wrist, passed upward between the
bones of the fore arm and came ont
between the wrist and elbow. It
was the general opinion that it was
Hawkins own shot that produced
this wound, and the position of his |
arm, being thrown around Duree's
neck. when the shooting occurred |
makes it quite probable 1t seems
to be the opinion that Duree, after
being shot, would have killed Haw-
kins but his gun refused to act as
he snapped it several times without
effect.
Both parties are under arrest,
and preliminary examination will
be held as soon as the parties are
able, both being now confined

Young on a string,


New. YORK, Feb. 2Gth. Several
chorus girls of the Bijou Opera
House have already, it is said,
brought a number of prominent
young men to the verge of matri-
mony. Perhaps the luckiest in
this respect Is Miss McNulty, who,
they say. has captued the heart of
Chester A. Arthur, Jr. Mr.. Ar
thur expressed to one of the prin-
cipals of the company, with whom
he is we'll acquainted, desire to
meet Miss McNulty. and an intro
duction was accordingly brought
about. Since then Mr.. Arthur has
often visited the Bijou. The Pres
ident has heard lately, it is said, Of
the attachment of his son to Miss
McNulty, and taking the lesson Of
the Fortescue Garmoyle match to
heart, he has caused inquiries to be
made 30 as to find out whether
there was any probability that
young Arthur wassincerely enough
attached to make her an offer of
marriage. The President has COM
municated with his son about it and
has had the assurance that there is
no present danger in that quarter.
About the stage of the Bijou Thea
ter there is q good deal of gossip
over the frequent visits of this dis
tinguished young man to the back
door of the theater.

THE JOURNALISTIC GENIUS
His Tilt With the Business
Manager.

| Nk6n0keE.
The long haired journalistic
. genius got q position on big city
paper as the leading editorial writer.
He had a pale, spi,ituel complexion
large sad eyes and looked like a
cross between Oscar Wilde and a
Reno office seeker. He had an ele-
giant room all to himself, with
carved tables, pale blue rugs. soft
electric light and bronze inkstand
With the bust of PAllas, Boss
Tweed or something of that kiad on
the top. In this weird poetical
atmosphere he smoked the dreamy
cigarette, and with half closed eyes
mapped out the ground plan of the
Fall campaign by which the party
was land its President in the chair.
He informed tho trustees of the
company that be could only write
! when the inspiration came upon
him, and hearing this they fixed his
salary at SIS a week and then hired
a practical man at $25 week as his
assistant. The cheap man did all
the work and the other fellow got
the credit, About once week the
cditor-in-chief withdrew to his
editorial room, locked himself in
and the printers up stairs budget
orders to tread lightly as the jaring
of the building was certain to in
terrupt the calm current of edi.
itorial thought below. After an
afternoon of labor the pale 10 wled
editor would emerge from his lamp
lit grotto on the lower feor and |
hand delicately written editorial, !
on cream laid paper, to a boy to
elevate to the composing room.
Then the heavy writer would wrap
his long cloak about him and re-
tire to his hotel for three days to
recuperate. One day the business
manager came in ard said:
''Look here, you cream-faced
loon, We cant pay you SIS week
for one days work in seven. Your
English may be awful elegant. but

salary"
