How the Chinaman Brings in the
New. Year.
Just at the stroke of twelve yesterday
morning. another year had passed by
the inhabitants CT Chinatown, and
every Chinese was aware OF that fact,
judging from the noise that was made.
Firecrackers were shot off in bundles,
tonl-toms were beaten and pandemo-
MUM reigned.
After school yesterday. Chinatown
was overrun with boys of all descrip-
lions who went after candy But these
boys were disappointed. because they
were informed that they were not
wanted, and, in such a way that there
was no mistaking the meaning. Occa-
siOnally a friend of the Ceiestials would
be invited to partake of the store of
candy and cigars. Once inside the
house. a very pretty table, decorated
with pond lilies and various sweet
meats greets the eye of the observer.
Most Of these tables are kept in this
condition two or three weeks. but once
in while the people will run across
one or two, more generous than the
rest Cor less religious) and they will
have a chance to sample some of the
delicacies of the Flowery kingdom.
The Chinese New Year celebration
lasts as long as money holds out Some
keep it UP two days, and some that
many weeks. Among the places most
visited, were those of Quong Tang Hi
& Co, Quong Yen Tung, Wing Hi,
Quong Gu & Co, and Sun Chun Tai.

A Tribute.

AT regular meeting of the board of

adopted:
Mrs. Emma Ullman, the wife of our
honored friend and ex-president, has

her co-religionists, no matter how poor
or needy, was deep and abiding; her ac-
tivity in works of charity was proVerbial,
and her death has carried away from the
poor of this city their most endeared
friend
Congregation Emanuel desires to voice

devotng a page on it's records to these
sentiments, and by sending a copy OF
same to her bereaved family.

TOM WATSON'S LETTER.
Chairman Butler Having Suppressed
1t, the Candidate Makes
it Public,

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 1.-THE letter of
acceptance written by Thomas E. Wat
son, accepting the Porulist nomination
for vice-president, has been made public
Seven columns of Watson's Peoples
party paper are devoted to it. The letter
is supplemented by four columns of ad.
vice to Populists to ''sit steady in the
boat and hold their party together" The
editorial tone of the paper is one of full
filled prophecy. Watson declares that
the failure of the Populsts to support
Bryan in the close states brought about
McKinley's election. He goes into long
review of the circumstances leading to
his nomination at st. Louis and accepts
the vice-presidential nomination because
| said would" He declares that if the
st. Louis Populist convention had nomi-
mated straight Populist ticket it would
have been elected. 1t would, he said,
have driven the Hills and Germans
where they belonged, into the Repub-
lican ranks-and the Bryans and BANDS
would have joined with the Populists
He complains bitterly of the treatment
he has received at the hands of the Pop
ulist leaders and addresses himself par
ticularly to Senator Butler in personal
way.

THE END.
Ovcrrated.

There is widespread belief that the
i've senses Of savages are eXtraordin-
arily sharp and acute; and in the mat
ter Of vision especially, popular opin-
ion would award the palm to the In
dian. The popular notion is, however,
clearly in the wrong.
An English traveller in South Amer
lea recently had occasion to test the
question. He was greatly surprised
to find that his guides could distinguish
objects which he could not make out
at all.
Thus, when a tiny speck appeared on
the landscape Of the pampas, native
could tell by the sight and movements
what manner of thing it was He sub
sequently discovered that this extra
ordinary range Of vision was due more
to long experience than to the actual
possession of keen eyes. For when he
took two Of his guides off their native
heath, and gave them unfamiliar sights
nnd scenes in city, neither could see
any better than an ordinary person.
AS matter of fact, the five senses Of
the Indian or savage are dull COM
pared with the five senses Of civilized
man. A competent authority says that
a savage sees bat few sights, hears but
few sounds, tastes but few favors,
smells but few odors, and that his
whole life is narrow and blunt.

LEFT HIM TO DIE.
Trapper at Lake K0shkonong Does Not
Respond to Calls for Aid.

Chicago, Ill. Nov. 12.-[special.E
Victor l.. Cunningham, who with a num-
Der of Cincinnati and Pittsburg people
has been on a hunting expedition under
the auspices of the Black Hawk club at
Lake Koshkonong, Wis, returned here
this morning, the expedition having been
prematurely cut short. A few days ago
while out on Rock river some of the
hunters heard cries of distress. They
hailed passing trapper, who said that
some fellow had been yelling for an
hour, but that he didn't know what was
the matter. The visitors rowed in the
direction of the cries and found Jack
Paynter, muskrat trapper, clinging to
his capsized boat, his limbs frozen as
stiff as boards. A doctor in the party
worked on him, out Paynter died as the
clubhouse was reached Trappers occu-
plying cabins on the bank of the lake
were so highly incensed that the sports
men held a consultation and decided to
quit for the season. If the neglectful
trapper who did not respond to Paynter's
cries could have been identified squatters
would have lynchad him.

IT AFFECTS CYCLISTS.
Receiver Wanted for the American
Wheelmen's Protective
Association.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. ia receiver for
the American Wheelmen's Protective as
ISOLATION was asked for in the circuit
court today by p. II. Barker, stock
holder. The concern is pretty widely
known among wheelmen throughout the
country, as soon after it's inception it
was endorsed by the League of American
Wheelmen.
The association was Incorporated No
vember %, 1894, with capital stock of
$1,000 and notice was given that it would
be increased to $4,000, but this has
never been paid in. The bill makes some
rather sensational charges. 1t is claimed
that the assets of the concern do not eX-
coed $4,000 and that it is liable for 5000
wheels valued at $50 each. All the of.
Gcers are made defendants.

WHISKY TRUST WINS.
Court Decides that Customers Must
Abide by the Agreement if
They Want Rebates.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Judge Showal-
ter in the federal court today rendered
an important decision in the rebate case
Of the Whisky company today. The
jurist decided that the compact involved
in the rebate vouchers IS legal, that the
understanding does not preclude the buy
err from purchasing elsewhere. The
terms merely stipulate that if the buyer
takes goods from the American Spirits
company and wishes to take advantage
of .he rebates he must not deal else
where. This decision is of the highest
Importance since it confirms the trade
methods oe the Sugar Trust and other
cOrDOratiOnS.

The Lobster.

The Holsters legs, all told, are ten
in number, but only eight OF these
are largely used for walking. The
front pair, or big claws, have been
specialized, as in the crab and most
other of the higher crustaceans, into
prehensive organs for catching and
crushing the prey. Their use Is oS-
vious. HOLSTERS feed largely off null
lusks Of various sorts and other hard
shelled marine animals; In order to be
able to break or crush the shells Of
these, and so get at the soft fish with
in, they have acquired such large and
very muscular nippers or pincers.

Mining Items of Interest Clipped
from Their Columns

Market Lake, Idaho, Sentinel: A
large outfit of mining supplies is be-
ing sent in with men to Teton Basin
for the purpose of developing some
very promising prospects carrying gold
and silver rock The parties backing
the outfit are supposed to be a Mon
tana company. Teton Basin and Jack
sons Hole will be overrun with pros
pectors this season. That there are
vast deposits Of precious minerals in
that section, besides great coal meas
ures, cannot longer be denied.
Moscow, Idaho, Star: Last Wednes-
day Captain Rogers of the mica mines
started east on a trip for a month. He
took about hundred pounds of cut
mica to use for samples of the product
of the mines. A business meeting of
the directors will be held at the head
office at Cleveland, O., while he is
there. During the past few weeks the
tunnel has been driven into the main
lead, and within a few days about a
ton OF block mica will be shipped to an
electric company with which the min
ing company has contract Captain
Rogers informed US that there were
several tons of mica in sight in the face
of the tunnel, and with no bad luck
the miners would take out several
thousand dollars worth before he gets
home. Cabins and work houses have
been built and the mines placed in con-
dition for active operations. The east
ern company to which it will be
shipped pays so cents a pound for
mica in the block.
The Alaska Mining Record tells the
story Of two Yukon miners, Jack Gre
gor and Pat Kenealy, who took up a
