suNsETrERs' CHRISTMAS
Most Happy Celebration of the Happy
Season

The Sunset club had its Christmas jnks
last night at Jerry Illich's, the occasion
being one of the most delightful nthe his
tory of the organization. Ex-President Dan
Freeman occupied the chair, President Lee
being unavoidably absent, this king OF the
goats being given warm welcome on his
return from visit to the Prince of Wales
and Emperor William. Homer Earle pro-
vided the musical portion OF the evening,
having Scotch piper, an American or
chestra and a Chinese string band; the
strains of "Annie Laurie" "My Honolulu
Lady" and 'The Maid of the Yang Use XII
ang' intermingling in most pleasing man
ner. All Lung Patterson and All Judge
Shaw assisted I'M the Chinese music effect
lively. Charlie Ellis sang an exquisite lullaby
and George Parson sang two songs and es-
capped without injury. George Patton gave
an impressive address on Christmas and it's
lessons, arguing charming logic of ap-
preaching sweetness and light for the world.
Bishop Montgomery followed on similar
lines, to the great pleasure of his brothers
in the club and Deacon Sauson concluded
the serious portion Of the program with an
eloquent appeal for unselishness and aid
in the work of helping those in dire need,
stating that there we're 1900 children in the
city who could not 80 to school for want
of proper clothing.
The bard of the club, Mr.. Homer Earle,
read one of the wittiest poems the members
ever had the pleasure of hearing, and was
followed by Willoughby Rodman in a
charming conceit, burlesque on "Curfew
Shall Not Ring Tonight" Sloppy Sister,
Mr.. R. H. H. Chapman, being absent on ac-
count of illness, his poem was read by Othe-
man Stevens, and despite the bad delivery,
the pointed, clever lines won sincere ap-
plause.
1t would take several editions of The Her
aid to give alb of the fun, jest and quip and
a whole volume would not do justice to the
happy season Of good-fellowship and affec
tion evidenced by all of the members who
had the good fortune to be present,

The most serious fire that has occurred
in Chinatown in many years started about
2:l0 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and be-
fore the flames could be controlled had de-
stroyed over an acre OF buildings, com
pletely wiping out the northeast corner OF
New Chinatown. The loss is close to $l0,-
700, large portion Of which will fall on
Chinese tenants.
The fire started in the kitchen in the rear
o. one-story shack at 429 Apablasa street,
occupied by Sing bee as a residence. The
exact cause of the blaze is not positively
known, but it is thought that the cook was
preparing meal in an open CRATE and left
the fire burning while he went outside. On
his return he saw that the flames had at
tackled the woodwork about the fireplace.
The building was OF very infammabie mate
rial, and the flames spread SO rapidly that
the adjoining buildings, all but one OF which
were of wood, were soon on fire.
AT 42l Apablasa street was the two-story
brick building occupied by Rev. Ng Pom
Chew, Chinese Presbyterian minister, and
running east from this brick structure to a
small alley was, row OF one-story shacks.
The balance Of the block was occupied by
more shacks north of the row on Apablasa
street, while at 1892 and 1874 Benjamin street
were two two-story frame buildings, the
one at 1872 being tenanted by "Old Tom'
as an opium joint and the other at 834 as
joss house. The other buildings on Ben
jamin street were occupied by Chung Woo,
Sing Yick, Lum Boo and the family OF Mr..
and Mrs. 500 Hoo Mon Sing.
The fire soon spread to the other buildings
in the block, and few minutes after the
first alarm was turned in the flames were
shooting many feet in the air The build
ings were occupied principally by Chinese
vegetable peddlers, some of whom had fam
lilies, and there was hurried rush to es-
cape. The cries of alarm soon attracted a
large crowd Of Chinese, who were gesticulat-
