RINER AND HALLETT

Decide That the Governments Can't In
terfsre at Cripple Creek.
DENVER, May 31.-The United States
circuit court today refused to grant an
Injunction restraining the miners from
interfering with the Raven Gold Mining
company's property at Cripple Creek.
Judge Riner delivered the opinion that
the court had no jurisdiction and Judge
Hallett concurred. The ground on which
the injunction was asked was that the
United States government has an interest
in the claims which the company has
taken under the mineral land laws and
to which it has not yet acquired full title.

NEW YEARS DAY ifs JAPAN.
Set by the G-eyorian Calendar, 1t Is Cole
brated With Quaint Observances.

brated With Quaint Obseryances.
Even the Japanese celebrate Christmas,
although unintentionally. They have ac-
cepted the Gregorian New Year instead of
their own and decorate their houses in
honor of the occasion. But the influence
of the English who live among them has
made them very prompt in putting up
their finery, so that they are generally in
full festive array by the dawn of Christ
mas.
The decorations are decidedly unique
from an American point of view. Every
detail, however, is perfect, and every fea-
ture has some meaning. Across the front
of the house, for instance, is festooned a
grass rope with deep fringe. This Ia a
very pleasant sort of a thing for man to
have over his door, for no evil spirit dare
pass under it. Over each entrance hangs
a great tassel of grass containing q scar
let crayfish. Its crooked body symbolHes
the back Of the aged, bent with years
This is surrounded with the branches of a
kind Of japonica whose young leaves bud
before the old ones are shed. This is typ
ical of parents living when their children's
children are born. In the center are the
leaves of the Japanese polypody, which
symbolizes conjugal life because the fronds
spring in pairs. Embryo leaves symbol
.e offspring There is also a piece of
charcoal. which means home, and two lit
tie pieces of seaweed, which typify good
fortune and rejoicing. In the middle of
all is the lucky bag, square of white
paper held in by red and white string
which marks a present.

compliment to the japanese and partly for
luck Sir Edwin Arnold, when in Japan,
had one hanging outside his home at Az
abu. But he was SO ultra japanese that
he took care to have it ready only for New
Years, and not ON Christmas.
The natives have another decoration
consisting of three green bamboos with
sliced tops, reminding one of organ pipes,
erected on eacn side of the portal at a dis
lance of six feet. the right hand one spring
ing out of IA tuft of the mematsu, which
signifies the female principle, and the left
hand from the matsu, which signifies the
male In the midst of all these embems
the national flags generally wave from
black lacquered poles headed with gold
balls. II the common people fail to dis
play these flags. they are admonished by
tho police, and the flags go up. They are
generally of white silk Grape, with red
sun in the center.
4 japanese New Years custom, which
il would not be amiss to import to Amer
lea, is that of paying all debts-except to
foreigners-on the first day of the year. A
man who fails to do so without leave of
his creditors is dishonored. Consequently
those who are in debt try to sell every
thing which will fetch money, and in To-
kio a huge fair is held in the principal
street on New Years eve for this purpose.
