CHINESE MIXED ON NEW YEARS
Got Muddled on n Dates and Both
Today and Tomorrow will
BE Celebrated.

New York, Jan. pa perplexing
problem has presented itself to the
Chinese residents of this city. They
have not been able TO make up their
minds whether their New Years cele-
bration should begin today or tomor-
row. The Chinese minister at WASH
ington issued a proclamation declar-
ing that tomorrow shall be celebrated
instead of today and that Chinese resi-
dents of this country have for the past
forty-eight years begun celebrating u
day too soon. Why 1t has taken forty
eight years to make this interesting
discovery is not set forth, but there Is
no doubt that the children of the celes-
tial empire have been laboring under
"a sad deIusion. The difference in time
between this country and China was
the cause Of the mistake. The procla-
nation for the Chinese residents OF
this country to change the date of the
celebration has been sent to Chinese
consuls who have transmitted il to the
leading Cinnamon of the cities, where
they are stationed. The proclamation
has created a good deal of excitement
In Chinatown. Some of its adherents
decided to ignore it and began cele-
brating today and last night they were
hard ut work making their prepare
tons. Others intend to show their re-
spect for their eountry's representa-
tive by postponing their festivities.
The result will be two Chinese New
Years this year.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

According to a recent london esti-
nate only about $4,000 American tour
SITS visited the English capital in the
course Of the past season and this is
regarded as a very poor catch. The
Iyerage tourist from "the states" we
are told, scatters about $1,000 while
making n three months trip in En-
rope. This multiplied by $4,000, makes
S25, 900, 900, and of that amount, it is
believed, London receives at least two
hfths. Paris gets more American
money than London does, not because
more Americans go there, but because
the French capital wins the trade OF
sl the women, and this is both larger
and more profitable than that of the
men, to whose needs and tastes the
London shops more especially cater.

In True Kentucky style.

Chamberlain, Jan. 2i.-Residents Of
the little town of White Lake, about
thirty miles east of here, were consid-
erably surprised the other day when
c. j.. Branson and another farmer liv-
ing neal there appeared in town
armed, one with a Winchester rife
and the other with a revolver. The
fierce name in which they gaZed at
each other whenever they CHANGED to
meet on the streets proclaimed at
whom the warlike preparations were
directed. II appears that some days
ago Branson received an anonymous
communication, adorned with a crude
representation of Il skull and cross
bones, warning him that if he did not
leave the country by a certain date
he would be killed and his property
burned. There are six OF u.s." con
cluded the communication, land six
men with guns can Kill a rascal like
you at any time" He treated the mat
ter as a joke until the stipulated pc
Rod had expired, when his hay stacks
were mysteriously set on fire and de-
stroyed. He suspects the farmer at
whom he scowied so f~iercely at White
Lake the other day as being the prin-
cipal cause of his trouble, and the fact
that the other man has armed him
self would tend TO confirm the correct
ness of B~ranson's suspicious. The au-
thorities are investigating the matter
and ONE arrests may follow. The
whole neighborhood is aroused, and
the more radical farmers make threats
of lynching.
