NIGHT IN CHINATOWN.
Another Large Crowd Watching the
Celestial Festivities.

Another large crowd visited China
town last evening to assist" in cele-
brating the Chinese New Year. AS here
tofore, the Chinese are hospitable and
show much magnanimity in overlook
ing the frequent breaches of etiquette
made by the white visitors. The Chi
nese go right on, visiting one another,
wearing their best and brightest clothes,
drinking tea and paying their debts,
while the curious, intruding throng looks
on and wonders.
Some of the Chinese merchants are
especially gracious, conversing with
white visitors. and showing off the pre-
cociousness of their children, for all the
world like white folks The supply Of
nuts and candies seems inexhaustible,
though some of the visitors, by repeated
calls, acquire formidable loads of these
Celestial dainties to carry away with
them.
There has yet been no disorder in
Chinatown. The Chinese themselves
give no sign of the smoldering factional
feud. though even in this season of joy
and good will the highbinders' war Is
likely to break out at any moment. The
extra policemen stationed in and about
the Chinese quarter act as guides for
amusement, but the serious business of
their position is to be ready at any mo-
ment to arrest a hatchetman murderer
or quell a riot. The "lookees," who act
as spies for the boycotters against the
stores of the other faction, can be de-
tected by experienced eyes, keeping
faithful watch. But these things are un-
known to the great throng of people,
who hurry through the muddy streets,
seeking only for an evenings amuse-

1T IS NOT SATISFACTORY

The ordinance changing the names
of streets, as passed by the council and
recommended by the commission ap-
pointed for that purpose, has raised quite
a storm of protests. and the document

mads up his mind not to approve 1t There
is n very general objection to the many
Spanish names introduced, the objec-
ton being urged that they are exceed
ingly difficult to pronounce and are in
many instances unwieidy One of the
strongest protestants is Major Horace
Bell, who insists that General Forman,
one of the commissioners, has taken ad-
vantage OF his position to "get even on
him." His specific complaint is against
the changing of the name of Georgia Bell
street to Nevada street. He says that
when he laid out his subdivision, he gave
q number of streets to the city, ard
among them named one Georgia and an
other Virginia, for his wife and daugh-
ter respectively Later it was found
that there was another Georgia street,
and Bell was added to his street. Gen.
Forman, he says, later laid out a SUBJ
division north of him and gave the con-
Meeting street with Georgia Bell the
name of Nevada He also had the name
of Virginia street named DeLong, in

The story begins with the amounting
of David by Saul and closes with the
coronation of the shepherd boy as king
of Israel. The cast OF characters num-
bered some twenty-five to thirty people,
including the little flower girls in the
bridal train. The melody is quite pret-
ty throughout, and some of the solos
and choruses especially fine. The song
and trio AS Pants the Heart, was ap-
plauded so vigorously that the singers
were obliged to repeat it. The contralto
solo. Fair Shepherd, the sporano song
Peace. and several of the tenor songs
of David drew out loud applause. The
audience was highly gratified with the
entire rendition of the cantata.

YANKEES and BEER.

In the year 1889 the State Legisla-

lowing resolution:
In as much as the manufacture of
strong beer, ale and other malt drinks
promotes the purposes of agriculture,
trade and commerce; since they pro-
mote the cultivation of such grains
as are adapted to our soil and climate,
and since they thereby at the same
time produce valuable article of eX-
port, and because malt liquors, on ac-
count of their wholesome qualities,
strongly recommend themselves for
general use; since they form import
ant means for the preservation of the
health of the citizens of this State,
