yesterday, every store being closed.
Long strings of crackers were suspend
ed from the yerandas, and fastened to
many of the doors were little slips of
pink paper on which was written the
name Of some Chinese who had called
upon his neighbor to wish him health
and prosperity for the New Year
Receptions were the order of the day
and wine and sweetmeats were served
in profusion to all visitors. Glass after
glass of champagne was poured down
Chinese throats and the many toasss
had but one meaning. that of China
unsurpassed
The principal reception of the day
was held at the hall of the Bow Wong
Wui at the corner of Kukui street and
College lane. The interior of the hall
had been prettily decorated for the oc-
casion and a wealth of ferns and potted
plants surrounded the speakers table.
The paintings of the Emperor, Kwang
Yu Wei, and Leung Chi-tso were drap-
ed with carnation Ieis and MALE.
The fish market was deserted. nearly
all of the booths being closed for the
day; walters and cooks throughout the
city deserted their posts and employ
ers of Chinese labor found themselves
short-handed.
True Chinese hospitality was the
watchword at the rooms of the Chinese
United Societies on King street. The
inborn generosity of the Chinese race
was given free rein during the two
hours of the reception, which lasted
from II a. m. until / p. m, and the Chi
nese New Years celebration by the
United Societies will pass into the his
tory of the annals of these powerful
associations as one of the greatest yet

nolulu partook OF the open-handed hos
pitality for which the Chinese of Ho-
no1ulu have long been noted.
For two hours the rooms were
thronged with visitors and it was no.
ticeable that none but the most repre-
sentative men of the solid community
of the city were present. A number OF
ladies availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to be present and were loud in
their praises of the treatment they re-

THE saloons must go." were the
concluding ringing words Of DIR.
E. s. Chapman at Central Union
church last night in his address
upon the Saloon and Womanhood =
The address was full of arguments
against the liquor traffic and it's re-
sultant evils brought upon innocent
women. The blame for these evils DR..
Chapman lays upon the heads of the
men. for they make the laws which
allow traffic in rum to be carried ora.
There were many fearful references
to the sad state to which innocent wo-
men are dragged by the drinking hab-
its. of their husbands. The keynote to
his lecture was that it was the men
who first said the men might vote and
men who said the women should not
vote. If the women had the right to
vote they would protect their homes,
their sons and their daughters by vot-
ing against the saloons. DIR. Chapman
denounced in the strongest language
the iniquity brought upon women by
their not being allowed to protect
themselves at the ballot box, and he
likened the men to the American saw
ages who tie their victims hand and
foot to the stake and torture them. He
said that such suffering was mild to
the fiendish torture and anguish
brought upon womanhood by the sa-
looms and their inability to declare the
traffic Illegal.
In opening his lecture last night DIR.
Chapman said he was pastor of a
church in Oakland when the question
of saloons or no saloons was submitted
to the people. They did not ask to have
it submitted. They asked, however, to
sssave the subject of Sunday closing
submitted The City Council was un-
willing to do that, but submitted the
question of saloons or no saloons. They
had but three weeks for their crusade
and DIR. Chapman found that almost
every text he took from the Bible
applied to the question at issue and
he preached it morning, noon and night
He said that there was such a supreme
issue before the people a year ago and
it remained paramount until removed
by the flames. When the plague was
here he knew the people talked of It
read of it, dreamt of it, until the work
was accomplished.
God grant that we may do our work
in this city on the liquor question ir

A JOYOUS DAY FOR
THE CHINESE RACE
of the New Year Celebrated
With Noise and Hospitality By
the Progressive Element Here.

YYYHEN the hands of thex clock
" pointed to the hour of midnight
Wv on Sunday, hundreds of Chi
nese We're alert to the occasion
and the celebration of New Years day
was ushered in with a screeching of
steam whistles and the continual pop
ping of hrecrackers and bombs, until
the boilers lacked the steam necessary
for more noise and the supplies of fire.
works threatened to fall short.
1t was the members of the reform
element of the Chinese who were cele-
brating, and if they felt aggrieved that
their brothers did not all agree on the
same day. they at least had the salts
faction of knowing that they had fred
the first gun in the New Year and that
the adherents of the Consul could not
sleep.
The din was indescribable-aH pan
demonium seemed to have broken loose
and just as the noise seemed about
to subside, some .one would touch a
match to a fresh string of crackers and
new start would be taken. Hundreds
of tons of pyrotechnics were consumed,
and in front of r4arly every Chinese
store and house were lanterns of many
colored designs. Lanterns big and
lanterns small We're to be seen: some
We're lighted by incandescent lights
suspended within. and some were light
ed with. the olden time wax candle;
some were round, others square, a few
of oblong design, Of every color of the
rainbow and of many colors not in the
rainbow, they all contributed to the
festive appearance of Chinatown. Three
things make up the external part of
the Chinese New Year and without
fireworks. edibles and wine. 1t would
seem duIt indeed.
Honolulu has been favored this year
with two Chinese New Year days ow-
ing to the fact that the anti-reformers
believed that the proper day was the
one set aside in China, while the more
progressive Chinese or the reform ele-
ment calculated that, due to the number
of hours gained as one goes east from
China, the proper day would fall, ac-
Icording to the American calendar, many
hours ahead of the day appointed on
the Chinese calendar. The reformers
are finishing their celebration, while
the remainder, headed by the Consul,
have only just commenced.
Chinatown looked deserted all day

ceived. The visitors were received at
tn head Of the stairway by a number
of young men belonging to the Chinese
United Society, as follows:
Ho Fon, w. Y. Kwai Fong, Lin Shin
Chow, L. Z. Chin, Lau Tang. Chang
Chow and See Young.
They were ushered into the main hall
and council room of the society, where
the officers and principal men in the
Isociety stood on three sides of a hollow
square to receive their guests. Ebony
|settees covered with cushions of garnet
cloth embroidered with gold took up
the three sides of the square, the dais,
table and chairs Of the presiding off,
eer in session taking up the fourth side
President II. A. Heen and Vice Presi-
dent Wong Chow stood on either side
of a table in the center of the room,
which was decorated with Chinese lilies
in full bloom and jardiniers of ferns
and Oriental plants. The utmost dig
nifty reigned in this room and the visit
ors were made to feel at their ease by
the generous expressions and felicita-
tions upon the day dear to the heart of
the Chinese.
Behind the platform was a monster
five-clawed dragon in blue upon field
of brilliant yellow silk with a deep
border OF garnet cloth tackled here and
there with gay rosettes.
Small tables were profusely decorat-
ed with Oriental and Island blossoms
and the modern ideas of the reformers
prevailed in every detail of the -ecep-
Stion and decoration. There was a con-
spicuous absence of the old style flow
ing costumes except in two instances.
The officers and all who participated In
the event were clothed in the most ap-
proved American clothes
Visitors deposited their cards in the
hallway after passing through the re-
Iception room and were thence conduct
ed into the refreshnent parlors. where
none but delicacies adapted to Euro
pean and American tastes were to be
seen. Champagne was as plentiful as
water and no pains were spared to see
that the guests were elaborately enter
tanned. Boys from the school of Wong
Shiu King waited upon the tables. Be-
fore leaving the guests were given
handfuls OF lichee nuts Chinese can
dies and the souvenir New Years
cards of the United Chinese Society and
Chinese Protective League.
Berger's band was present during the
reception on the balcony on King
street, where the liveliest Of American
airs were played, and large numbers
of people who did not attend the re-
ception lined the streets to watch the
professions ef people entering and
leaving the hall Among those present
were:

Shall the School Fail?

1t is generally known throughout
town that the present school house
facilities are so overcrowded that the
children are neither comfortably ac-
commodated nor properly handled.
There are too many pupils in each
room and too many to each teacher.
On the 26th of this month there will be
an election held tovote money to build
more room and make the schools
efficient If the election fails think
what "A predicament the town will be
in. And yet less than 400 people have
registered and the books close this
week. There is opposition to the
bonds from the morbid hater of bonds,
from the people who think schools a
foolish extravaganza and from some
few who think by defeating the school
bonds they will square old scores with
somebody. There should be but one
election and it should be favorable.
1t is the urgent duty of every good
citizen of lola to register and vote;
the question is too serious to trife
with or take chances.
