THE CHINESE NEW YEAR

SOME CUSTOMS OF THE SEASON

Cinnamon.

From midnight last night a suspension
Of work began in Chinatown that will
last for five days.
The occasion which calls. for this sea
son Of jollity is the Chinese New Year
in honor of which today Cinnamon
everywhere who folow strictly the faith
of their fathers are celebrating.
During these five days many laundries
kept by Cinnamon in this city will be
closed, and proprietor and employe
alike will 60 to Philadelphia to assist
their elnwcountrymen in rendering
proper tribute to the gods which they
deem it is necessary to propitiate at this
season.
Last night there was all outpouring OF
Celestials from this city and they took
the train for Philadelphia where they en-
gagged in rcves peculiar to their nation.
lee Sing who is comfortably quartered
in his laundry at 203 W. Eighth street
yesterday described the character OF the
jubilee.
He said that Yesterday was the end of
the Chinese year and any Chinaman
owing a fellow Mongolian a sum of
money would make u big effort
to pay his debt before l2 O'Clock
midnight. If by dawn the debt had
not been paid the creditor would get
out his lantern, light it and carry it
around all day, earnestly asserting and
refusing to believe otherwise than that
the night is still on, the day has not yet
appeared, because he has not received
money due him. As soon as he acknowl-
edges that day has come the debt is can.

After the day dawns the Chinese who
strictly adhere to their faith handle as
little money as possible during the two
weeks appointed for the New Years
celebration. There is no surcr way of
offending Il Chinaman than by Offering
him piece Of money while the ccrc-
monies are in progress.
The Chinese quarters on RHcr street
between Eighth and Tenth streets, was
alive with the ceicslials last night.
They had donncd their best clothes by
eight o'clock, and the early part Of the
evening was spent in the joss house,
and it was not until midnight that the
real demonstration began. Yesterday
the necessary permit for the display OF
fireworks was granted. On the first
stroke OF twelve, therefore, rockets,
roman candies, grotcsquc fire balloons,
such ~ only the Chinese can dcvi:e,
and hundreds OF other forms Of fire
works were set off from the top of th'
buildings, while the strings of iirccrack-
ers were ignited Simultaneously at sev
cral street corners in the district.
In all the Chinese restaurants Chow
Min which is Chinese for fried macca-
roni; Foo Young Din, or ham omelet,
and Bop Cop Sung, Or chopped pigeon,
are some of the dcIicacies served to the
guests, and wines are drunk from saucers
instead OF glasses.
The display OF fireworks will be all
over by Friday night, and then will end
the out ward demonstrations of the hoIi-
day season. The rest OF the time that
the holidays last will be spent in the
JOSS house and in exchanging visits.
A sorry lot of Cinnamon will return to

Local Financiers Think There Is
Something Big In 1t.
WETHERlLL. PARTLY ADMITS
Chester Magaa'c Says he has Been
Negotiating for the ROad..-Much
Interest In the Purchasing
e Syndicate.

The reported deal for the sale Of the
Wilmington City Railway Company
still agitates the town. For forty-eigh,
hours it has been the upperlnost topic
Of discussion in local financial circles
Precisely the same attitude with re.
spcct to the report has been maintained
by the officials of the road as on Mon.
day night when the first inkling of il
got out. "We don't know Of any deal
we have not sold our stock is still theil
answer to all inquiries. They do not
deny, however, that negotiations for the
sale of the road are on, nor do they
deny that the road is for sale.
1t is policy for them to deny the report,
particularly if the negotiations are not
complete. That negotiations, important
negotiations, are on there is little doubt
in financial circles. The doubt Of the re.
ported deal rests entirely on the matter
of conslmrnation.
1t was expected that yesterday would
develop something in the direction Of Il
consunmation, but it did not. The ne
gotiatlons stand to-day almost rs they
were on Monday, though it is not i'm
probable that something of importance in
connection with them will occur in a day
orso. This something maybe the collapse
of the negotiations or it may mean the
formal announcement of the sale and
transfer of the stock. Local financial men
are highly eXpctant and are looking for
something to drop in Il few hours
The fa.t to the negotiations is attrib-
utrd by local fnancicrs t. the demands
oi the Wilmington people. 1t is under
stood that the syndicate has offered $50
Il share for the controlling interest Of $50, :
600 shares but that the Wilmington
people want bigger price, which the
syndicate is not inclined to pay.
\ director OF the company who was
deal would not deny that negotiations
are pending His sole answer to i'll
quirics concerning them was 81 would
would rather you see Mr.. Salisbury or
Mr. Lrc.'
The principal interest in The ncgo,ia-
tons hinges on the purchasing syn
dcatr Peter a. b. Widcncr, the
traction magnatc, when seen regarding
it in Philadelphia yesterday, dncaimed
any connection with tie reported deal.
Mr. Widcn"r has denied his connection
with thrr big deals before,
Robert }. WrtIlcrili,thc Chester boiler
manufacturer and traction magn,tc. gives
some encouragement by admitting that
he j. interested in scheme to get Il
trolley line into Wilmington, and incl
den,aIy the purchase OF the Whining
ton road.
Today may tell a little more about the
deal.
1t is Il well-known fact that n"gotia-
tons for the purchase OF the Wilmington
City Railway have been going on from
time to time for several years and that
New York as well as Philadelphia cap-
talists have been the ambitious purchas-
crs. Whether the Wcidcner and Elkins
syndicate will get control of the road re-
mains t., be seen. However, real deal
of some kind is on and it is firmly be-
licvcd by local financial men that the
road is undoubtedly n,w on the closest
balance
