Cutting Boys Hair
In Curious China

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
ono Of the most ancient and curious Gus
toms among the Chinese. and one rarely
concentrated in this country, was OBJ
served with great pomp and circumstance
In Chinatown Sunday night. when Fong
Hook. a leading merchant who for years
has had the supervision of the Chinese dis
counts in the AnglO-California Bank of San
Francisco. entertained his relatives to a
remote degree with a magnificent banquet
In honor Of the first cutting OF the hair Of
his only son.
The banquet took place at an Sth street
restaurant, and there were 80 guests. A
notable feature was the fact that the wives
and children of the guests sat down at the
same table with the heads Of families. A
mos elaborate menu. comprising birds
nest soup, steam stuffed duck. Foon Yon
Ha, sharks fms and other rare and costly
celestial dishes were served.
The banquet cost the happy father 81. 800.
During the evening quite number of prom
inent members of the San Francisco clear
ing house called at the restaurant to offer
their fluctuations to him. The hair-cutting
ceremony, which was observed with pic
turesque rites. symbolizes that Fong Hook s
heir Is now factor in the family. The
guests brought presents for the little son
worth thousands Of dollars.

In connection with this he had many words

photographer thus received the news of that
historical event hours before the city Of
Rome learned it. The photographer was
then told by the pope's secretary, and
also by the popes valet, TO please be

became matter of the most dramatic
interest.
John Adams, in letter to friend, writ
ten in 1913, tells a graphic story Of the
conversion of one of the members. For
many days the majority depended on Mr..
Hewes of North Carolina. While a men,
Der one day was speaking and reading
documents from all the colonies to prove
that the public opinion, the general sense
of all, was in favor of the measure. when
he came to North Carolina, and produced
letters and public proceedings which dem

feet painting of the terror and horror upon
the faces of the old majority at that critical
moment than for the best piece of Raphael"
The resolution was brought to vote on
the first day of July. some fifty-one MEM
bers being present in Congress. That it
would have majority was certain, but
something more than majority was neces-

instructed to give a unanimous vote. Mat
tiers looked so propitious that Adams want
ed the vote taken at once. but New Jersey
was unwilling. She had given her delegates
permission to support independence If they
thought it expedient; they had arrived only
on the 2sth, and very naturally they wanted
to hear the arguments, so, to Adams dis
gust, the debate began again. But stale
and futile as the Federation seemed to
him, he did not shirk 1t. Never was Adams
more powerful than in this final debate on
Lees resolution. He was the COLOSSUS Of
that debate" said Jefferson afterward.
The entire day of July l was spent on the
question, and at night Congress was still
unwilling to take final vote, and ad-
journed the decision until the I'd. The
night was spent in excited work. Four
colonies--New York, Pennsylvania, Della
ware and South Caro)ina-still held back,
but before Congress assembled the next
morning a majority for the resolution had
been secured in each delegation excepting
that of New York, that when the vote
was finally taken twelve colonies were

and independent"
AS a matter of fact. the passing of Mr..
Lees resolution effected the separation Of
the colonies from Great Britain. and the
I'd of July Is really independence day. 1t
was this day, John Adams wrote his wife
on July 3, that future generations would
celebrate. THE second day of July, 1773
will be the most memorable epoch in the
history Of America he wrote. II am apt
to believe that 1t will be celebrated by sue

to be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows. games, sports, guns bells. bon
fires and illuminat!ons from one end Of
this continent to the other from this time
forward forevermore.
But it was on July that the document
which makes the formal expression of in
dependence was adopted. That formal
declaration came before the House imme-
diately after the adoption of Lees reso-
luton. and was taken up clause by clause
days struggle were not in any mood to
deal easily with Mr.. Jefferson's production.
On the contrary. they set themselves vigor-
ously to pull it to pieces.
With two exceptions the changes they
made were verbal and to the great i'm
provement of the document. The two really
important points which Congress refused
to allow to go into Mr.. Jefferson's paper
were, first a paragraph in which he ar
raigned with terrible severity the slave
traffic; and second, a charge that the Eng
lish people had been equally guilty toward
America with the king and parliament.
The free criticism Of the Declaration in
dulged in during the debate annoyed Mr..
jefferson exceedingly. He made it a point
of courtesy to reply to none of it. but it
was easy to see that he took it badly.
Just how long the debate on the Declara-
ton continued on the 4th is unknown.
While it was going on the radicals were

Latest London Styles
In Ties and Collars

From the London Daily Mall.
This sea son promises to be notable one
in the matter of ties, and possibly collars.
During the past year or two jackets and
coats have opened lower in the front. and
hitherto this has been made the oppor-
tunity for displaying a fancy waistcoat.
Now the tendency is to pay more attention
to the tie, so that during the coming season
the most noticeable feature will not be
the vest but the neckwear. For some
years past ties have been extremely simple,
a plain sailor knot or a simple bow. but
this fashion now promises to be abolished
In favor of the large cravat.
Many Influences have been at work In
bringing about this change. The deep
double collar has been declining In favor
for some time past and the military and
wing styles have been finding an ever-in-
creasing number of patrons and there is
no doubt these latter styles greatly faciii-
tate the wearing OF more dressy ties.
Cravats are now being made in fun and
puffy styles that almost fl the opening at
the top of the vest. They are made mostly
from silks satins and popins. Gold pins
often of the safety pin pattern-are worn
with these, so that the new style will be
welcomed by the jeweler as well the
outitter.
The new fashion will tend to increase the
expense OF the man about town. for while
few shillings extra spent on a fancy
waistcoat made It an attractive setof to a
suit for months, the increased cost OF the
scarf will only satisfy the same need for
weeks, and maybe days.
From the standpoint of comfort, the new
style has much to commend Il, for II lends
itself admirably 10 the soft-fronted shirt.

This committee was appointed by ballot
on June II, and consisted, according to
the journal, of the following gentlemen:
MIR. Jefferson. Mr.. j. Adams Mr. Frank
lin, Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. R. R. Living
ston."
Naturally. one would expect to find at
the head of this committee Mr.. Lee, who
had presented the resolution. That he
was not given the place seems to be due
to one of those nice little matters of state
politics. which had quite as much influence
with the fathers they have today.
Mr.. Richard Henry Lee was not beloved
by his colleagues from Virginia, and Mr..
jefferson was sent up to rival and supplant
him; so says John Adams.
Jefferson was a comparatively new man
in Congress He was only thirty-three
years of age at the time. and had been
a member less than a year Even in this
time he had not been at all prom inent in
the debates of Congress. But if silent in
debate, jefferson had shown himself

ised to present the photographers request
to her sovereign, and no doubt did so in

answer she brought back was in the mega

Probably the greatest triumph of the
American photographer was the success he
scored at the Vatican. Armed with Gre
dentials and Introductory letters Of the
right sort, he made his way to Rome and
became acquainted with the various MEM
bers of the holy fathers household. At
the psychological moment the photogra pher
made his wants and wishes known. His
preliminary work had been so we'll laid
that for the sake Of having the Vatican
family reproduced with the camera for
the multtudes of American admirers of the
much-loved pontiff he was given the free
dom Of this greatest of palaces with its
LOO rooms. He photographed all the
prominent personages of the pope's house
hold. including Monsignor Bsleti. Mon
signor Pescini. the pope's chaplain and
private secretary, etc, etc, and was given
one appointment after another with Pope
Plus x. Photographs were made of his
holiness in the Vatican gardens, also of
the pope preaching in the court. and again
while the holy father was giving his bene-
diction from the throne, and while he was
blessing groups Of pilgrims from Austria
and elsewhere. 1t was an unprecedented
opportunity, and was crowned by the holy
father giving the photographer his formal
blessing. The results of this work were
sent from America to the pope and to
