ASSESSING CHINESE GODS.
TOUGH PROBLEM FOR COURT OF
CLAIMS.
A God With a Heart Of Gold and
Pants. .....,..EsaSa Al allG

What is the value of a Chinese idol,
an elabOrately carved one, having
heart of gold, besides a liver of silver
and other organs of the same beautiful
and expensive metal, with ferocious
features done by the best artists in
god-mal<ing and big, wild eyes that
are enough to frighten any sinful
heather, or put a counter Hbosh on
the most dangerous of devils? The
question is up to the court of China
town fire claims, and is the latest of
many strange problems submitted to
this court The Ket On Fui Eon so
ciety, Lai Sal and Yung Fat have each
submitted claims for joss houses and
gods, with all the paraphernalia that
goes with the sacred images.
The Ket On Fui Kon claim is for
S21, ,53715. This is for the joss building,
the joss and the furniture and trap
pings, and some other buildings close
by. Among the items that attracted
attention most were one of $500 for an
image of Quan III and $400 for a Quan
III cabinet. There were also Joss kon
Yuen," $500, and Joss Quan Ii" $5OO
w. w. Thayer, attorney for the gov
ernment, wanted to know when the
case came up yesterday, about the val
ne of the image. The court was in
formed that there was over 5000 worth
of gold and silver inside the sacred
image. Whether Quan III had heart
of gold or not when he lived ages ago
in China, he had one in the Beretania
street joss house of Ket on Fui kon
The heart to which the devotees ap-
pealed and to which they burned josses
was of solid gold, said the Ket On wit
nesses. His liver was of pure silver
and other "inards" were of great worth.
The gold and silver had melted in the
fire, and the god himself, proof though
he was against most kinds of pilikia,
had gone to destruction when the
flames of the big fire swept makai from
Kaumakapili church. The face of Quan
III was a work of art, it was stated,
and worth the price alone.
Even the umbrellas of this god were
valuable, for they were put in at S135,
and sign painting was alleged to be
worth 5000.
Lai Say who had a joss house OF his
own, Independent of any society, and
got an income of $3.50 a year from 1t,
made a claim for $10,174.35. He had
no particularly expensive gods in his
outfit, but he was liberal with those
he had, in the matter, of trappings. The
$5OO-god of Ket On Fui Kon could not
have wanted better surroundings than
the gods of Lai Sal had, as was shown
by the following items in his claim

POLITICAL POINTERS.
The Ball Was Set in Motion in
 Earnest Last Night.

Republicans of First and Second
 Wards Nominate-Fred Cross Cast
 Overheard Democrats Are
 Hustling Now For The Primaries
 Which Will Be Held Friday After
 noon and Evening.
 The caucuses of the first ward re publicans, which was held in the city court room. was cut and dried affair. The slate had been prepared before hand and it went through without hitch. The majority of the republicans of the first ward had known that select few had formed the tickets In advance as they did not even attend the caucus. Of the many republicans in the first ward, only eighty-one were present.
 1t was shortly after o'clock when Joseph NJ Baril. a member of the re- publican town committee from the first ward, called the meeting to order. At torney F. J. AIcMahOn was chosen chairman while the office of secretary was bestowed on $. C. Jones. C. u. Blake was elected checker while J. B Porter and J. l.. Stanley were selected as te1lerS. It was decided to vote on the ticket collectively or ill other words for the entire list of aldermen and dele gates to the city convention at once. Then the voting commenced. An at tempt was made to break the slate. The friends of Thomas l.. Flynn, the popu- lar bartender, proposed his name for alderman and for delegate to the city convention The result of the ballot was as follows: For aldermen, F. k. White. 63: R. N. BIakeslee, S1; F. E. Stanley, 79; T. l.. Flynn, 22; for dele gates to the city cOunyentiOn, K. k. White, 63; W. L. Whitney S1; F. I. ELS IS; W. E. Scoffeld. so: c. J. Cleveland, S1: T. l.. Flynn. 22. All the above were declared elected with the exception of 1T. l.. Flynn. The meeting then adjourn ed. In conversing with several per sons, whose names appear as delegates to the city convention. a Democrat re- porter ascertained that the delegates are unpledged. They are favorable both to Ralph N. BIakeslee and Cor nelius Tracy They like both men very we'll but have a slight preference for the alderman. But" one of the dele gates remarked. i've will vote for the man who is considered as the strong est by the entire party On nasty glance at the list of delegates, one would naturally reach the conclusion that all the delegates are favorable to Clifford Els for the nomination as city clerk as he sees the name of T. I. ELS. Clifford's father. on the ticket as dele gate This is far from right As many. if not more. delegates favor George NettletOn as they do Els. The meeting was dull and uninteresting. But little interest was manifested in it. The meeting was somewhat en- livened by the passing around of two boxes of cigars by Alderman White. They were the compliments of +. N Blakeslee. candidate for mayor.
