CHINESE FESTIVAL.
After Burning the Devil, They Now
Cater to His Appetite.

Eh Chune, which i'm English means
something like harvest festival or fair,
opened in Chinatown yesterday with
appropriate ceremonies, and will be the
principal attraction for several days.
1t lasts six days, and is an annual
affair with the Chinese.
Several weeks ago the Mongols had
high old time, which wound up py
their burning the devil The ceremonies
at the present time are intended 10
placate his satanic majesty, and great
bowls of chow-chow are set out TO sat
isfy his appetite.
The celebration is general with the
entire Chinese population, and yeSter-
day three priests, accompanied by
band (Chinese), paraded the streets,
stopping before the headquarters o.
the Chez Kong Tong, Bing Hong Tons,
Suey On Tong, Fong Duck Tong, On
Yit Tong and the Ii Company, long
enough to offer the customary prayers
Chinatown was Illuminated last
night and presented a rather fantastic
appearance. The josshouses on 1
street, between Second and Third, were
open for visitors, and music of the
Chinese variety was INDUCED in. There
is ever a tacit understanding among
the Chinese that during the harvest
festival there shall be peace between
the several societies.

HE HAD TRAVELLED.
A Runaway Boy Who Dr;fted
Around the World.

Fred. Jackson, a sixteen-year-old Id
boy, drifted into Sacramento from San
Francisco on Tuesday last, and yes
terday morning was picked up by the
police and subsequently told his story
to Chief Dwyer.
The boy said he was born at Burton
Head, Lancashire, England, and
that he ran away from home three
years ago and shipped on board a
tramp steamer According to his
story, he has seen more of the world
than usually falls to the lot of most
men. He had been in every port OF
any magnitude in the British Isles
had been all over Brazil, where he
thrice had yellow fever, and had final
ly landed at Baltimore, at which place
he took brakebeam ticket across the
continent, stopping at Chicago, Den
yer, Albuquerque, Los Angeles and
San Francisco.
Young Jackson said that when ar
rested he was bound for Seattle, and
that he intended in the spring to start
for Dawson City, get in with some Of
the Englishmen there and try mining.
The boy was exceptionally bright,
and said he had no fear of the klon-
dixie country, and that he had been
in many worse places. He implored
Chief Dwyer not to notify his parents
OF his whereabouts, as they would keep
him at home, and his ambition to be-
come steward on passenger steamer
would be, blasted. The boy is still held
at police headquarters

A BICYCLE ACCIDENT.
Conflicting Accounts as to the Way
It Happened.

John Carmody, an old man who re-
sides at 1914 Nineteenth street, visited
police headquarters yesterday and eX-
pressed a desire to swear out Il war
rant for the arrest of officer w. j.
Hardy.
The officer, Mr.. Carmody said. was
present at Sixth and K streets Tues
day night and saw him run down by n
bicyclist who gave no warning, and was
then inclined to sympathize with the
aforesaid bicyclist, who had q tire torn
from his wheel in the mix-up He
intended having Hardy arrested for
neglecting his duty, but finally decided
to bring the matter before the Board
of Trustees at its next meeting
officer Hardy saw the accident. but
his account is somewhat at variance
with that given by Mr.. Carmody. The
officer says that a boy riding a wheel
with a dingle bell attached rounded
the corner at Sixth and K streets, and
started up that thoroughfare. Mr. Car
mody was about forty feet from the
crossing and started out onto the
street to hail street car as the wheel
man approached him. Mr.. Carmody
and the rider saw one another when

A pleasant occasion was that at For

The visitors were met at the train
by a committee and escorted TO the

prepared the tables being beautifully
decorated and bountifully spread, auu
a large number of the local DIVISION
were in attendance to welcome the

were made by Mrs. Borley, Nauondl
Grand Chaplain of the Grand DlVls'oh' ;
Mrs. B. Lightner of the local DIVISION;
Mrs. Thomas, President of the oak

REPAIRS AT ART GALLERY.
An Inspection by the Mayor and
Chief Engineer.

The repairs-due to many years Of
wear and tear-at the City Art Gallery
are practically completed The new
steps have been completed and painters
are now giving them the finishing
touches. The new construction IS far
superior to the old. 1t is a thoroughly
good job throughout. Besides the new
timber, the entire structure has been
bolted with heavy iron rods, and thor
ough ventilation has been provided for
every part of it, even to the great
newell posts.
The sunken arch supporting the plat
form has been repaired. and the OPEN
ings of the stairways all guarded with
heavy screening The roof has been
gone over, and it is believed the leaks
have been closed. They We're found
mainly in the cutters, which must an
other year be renewed entirely, the
lead having gone the way of soft met
ais.
Mayor Land and Chief Engineer
Guthrie yesterday inspected the prem
ises. The Mayor is convinced that no
new roof is needed, but that the slate
roof is good for ages. and that the
whole difficulty lies in the decayed gut
decided TO repaint the wood of the sky
lights and replace broken putty where
necessary. The Chief Engineer unhes-
itatingly condemned the fire hose pro-
vided for protection of the building,
saying that in case of a fire more dam
age would be done with it than by fire.
He recommended instead that the hose
be taken back by the fire department.
and in place that small hose in section
be attached to interior hydrants on
each floor, ready for instant use by the
watchman.
In that way possible fire could be
instantly checked, and in this the
Board of Control acquiesced, and the
change will be made. The city insures
itself on this building. and the views
of the Chief, in that light, are esteemed
as sound. There remains now only the
lifting and replacing of a few sunken
slabs of walk on the second terrace.
and the Art Gallery premises will be
in prime condition and sound for many
years to come after the porch and
superstructure have been painted next
