CELEBRATION
Chinatown GaiIy Re-
ioices at Full Moon
Festival.

Chinatown is dangerous and gay
! these days with the music and gart
of the Orient in honor of the Festiva
! of the Full Noon. By day the great
sinuous gold loedecked dragon haunts
the streets of the Chinese quarter and
drums, the shrieks of the fiageolets
and the clashing of the cymba1s is
heard from one end to the other.
The festival is Oriental in every
being displayed by the Chinese to make
this festival the one to be remember
ed Of the year.
The procession of the dragon is one
of unusual fascination, for there is a
bizarre display OF gaudy coloring, Curl
, Gus garbs and customs. Banners
gilded cars, gayly- garbed attendants
to the dragon, with music from one
end of the line to the other, and fire.
quent explosions of firecrackers keep
up the interest with seldom an inter-
mission.
First of all come banners of Grim
son and vern1ilion. covered over with
glittering golden spangles and gold cord
The bearers are swathed in silks
with peculiar head-dresses and feet
shod in quaint Chinese boots.
Behind them come men on horseback,
quaint-lookins people in theatrical
clothing of Oriental splendor One was
gotten up to look like a woman. Then
came a gilded cage in which were
musical instruments. This was sur
rounded and followed by gaily dress
ed throng of musicians, each carrying
cession came to a halt, the musicians
would seat themselves and treat the
bystanders to a serenade. Further
along came wagons in which men,
to look as if ready to step on the stage.
The principal attraction came next.
The great scaly dragon, carried on the
shoulders of thirty men, each support
ing ScCtIOA vol tie DUOy. was }lHS
center of all attraction. It's huge, mis-
shapen head with bullying eyes and
open, red-painted mouth, was a sight
in itself. Before it went two men car
rying wands. Whenever firecrackers
were exploded in front of a store the
dragon rushed to that point, but the
two wand-rnen charged it, as if to pre-
vent it from entering the place.
Further along came the clown OF
the parade, a short, strange looking
dragon, supported only by three men.
The explosion of frecrackers before its
comical face, was the signal for gyra-
tions and comicalities which kept the
crowd in the best of humor.
All day long yesterday and even in
to the night the paraders moved
through the streets and always the
sidewalks We're densely packed with
curious idIers watching the Fascinating
scene as if impelled by some uncanny
power welded over them by the
dragon.
Most IF the parade had new cos
TUNES and the wooden objects they |
carried had been newly-painted and |
gilded.

A strange coincidence marks the
demolition of the brick buildings in
which the planning mill business of j. A.
Hopper & Co. has been conducted for
the past thirty-three years. The site
was covered many decades ago by the
old Honolulu fort, whose thick stone
and rubble walls once bristled with
cannon of the Hawaiian monarchy,
many of which are now to be seen along
the waterfront, planted as wheel
guards at the wharf approaches. After
years of use for commercial purposes
the site is being taken over by the
United States government to be used
for war purposes.
j. A. Hopper & Co, Ltd, are remov-
ing their effects from the old premises
to the harbor front, where the business
will be re-esta blished. The establish
ment comprised nrst-elass rice mill,
a planning mill and a brass foundry.
incorporation of the business took
place after it's founder s death a few
years ago, w. l.. Hopper, his son, be-
coming head of the corporation.
Shortly after annexation, the land,
being a leasehold from the government
of Hawaii, was designated by the {. S.
War Department among other lands on
the waterfront, which 1t would re
quire Proclamation of the reservation
was duly made by president Mckinley.
The original work in connection with
designating the property for such pur
poses was made by Col. Ruhlen, Depot
Ouartermaster L. s. A
One OF the buildings in question is
already being RACED.

Why Not See Mexico 7

Forty eight hours travel will take you
from the cold, clustering northern win
ter to a land of sunshine and flowers
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. 'A land of
white sunshine, redolent with flowers;
land of gay costumes, crumbling church
es, and old converts; land of kindly
greetings, of extreme courtesy, of open,
broad hospitality. 1t was more than
enough to revel in an Italian sun, light
ing up a semi-tropical land; to look up
to white-capped peaks, towering into
blue; to look down upon wind-swept
plains, encircled by ragged chains of
mountains; and to realize that to-day.
in its varied scenery, costumes, architec-
ture, street life, canals crowded with
flower laden boats, market plazas throng-
ed with gaily dressed natives, faded
church interiors, and abandoned con-
vents, Mexico is the most marvelously
picturesque country under the sun. A
tropical Venice! A semi barbarous Spain,
A new Holy Land !" For rates and in
formation write, T. Il. FISHER,

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's aid.
The food builds up the body, the rest
restores the stomach to health. You
don't have to diet yourself when taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. j. d. Erskine,
of Allenville, Mich, says: 81 suffered
with heartburn and stomach trouble for
some time. My sster-in-law has had the
same trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles of Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and is in
good health. l am glad to say Kodol
gave me instant relief" Sold by Fred

JAMES J. JEFFRIES' THRILLING RIDE
ON c. o S. ENGINE TO
PUEBLO.
The Champion Fighter Makes the
Trip With Engineer Harry Dunno
and Tells of His Experience
to the Denver Post.

I've been up against some big propo
sitions in my time, but that one of yes
terday just headed 'em all otT"
1t was big James j. .Jetfries, the worlds
great fistic phenomenon, talking of his
Christmas ride to Pueblo in the cab of
the Colorado S Southern flyer. The
trip was little Christmas attention
from Vice President and General Man
ager j. Nj. Herbert, who had heard that
the champion pugilst had expressed
wish to have one good, swift ride on the
big iron steed that pulls the Colorado q
Southern flyer through space at the rate
of cannon ball. And so, on yesterday
morning, with that fine old veteran of
the road, Engineer Harry DuEne, the
trip was made.
IL know now what it is in the face of a
good engineer that has always impressed
me and made me Ieary of starting any
thing with him. continued the big fel-
low. Its the everlasting nerve and de
termination of him. | found this out
yesterday watching Harry Dunno as we
swung around curves and shot across
level places at a speed that made my
hair curl.
"There he stood, with his hand on the
lever and his eyes straight front, never
uttering word to anybody but the fire
man, and only to him when he wanted
more steam. 1t was the grandest sight
| ever saw, and it made me understand
how it is that the Colorado d Southern
road can yank so many thousands safely
across the country at the rate of a shoot
ing star.
"It's all in the road and the en-
gineer, as a railroad man once said to
me, and now / found that not only the
road was all right, but that this was the
rightest engineer | had ever seen.
Steady as a clock and face on him that
never changed for a second and was kept
always toward the track ahead, while ]
was hanging on for dear life, just the
same as if 1 was riding comet well,
never did see such man, and I'll say
sight here that il / had an eye on me
like Dunne's | could hypnotize the devil
and put him out in one round.
"Great ridel You betl but say was
never ratified SO bad in my life as i was
when Dunno first put the real speed on
/ couldn't see much of anything for a
while, and the telegraph poles howled
past us like string of Indians. But
watching Dunno, SO cool and steady, had
soothing effect on me, after a little, and
| began to sit up and take notice.
found that when you get used to it, you
can see all right. After got my nerve
back, / felt like bird, and no wonder,
for we sure few
81 don't know that / would care to ride
that way every day, for it certainly is
what's that Teddy Roosevelt says?-oh,
yes, strenuous; but Tn much obliged to
the Colorado & Southern for the expert
ence, and | tell you I've got an ace high
opinion of that road and the people who
run it."-Denver Post, Dec. 26
