CHINESE LUNCHEON To
NEWSPAPER WRITERS

The luncheon given by representative
Chinese to the. visiting correspondents
and local press writers yesterday, was
delightful in every way. There were
present Messrs. Matthews, Clotworthy
and Patehin of the fleet corps; Messrs
Henshall, Smith, Rhodes, Sheba, Sega
and others of the English and Oriental
press of Honolulu: Rev. E. w. Thwing,
who acted as toastmaster; Alexander
Hume Ford, Rev. Frank w. Damon, A
M. Merrill, and a number Of leading
Japanese residents. All Leong, at whose
pretty home the feast was given, pre-
sided, with zee Chin, president of the
Chinese Promotion Committee, on his
left and a venerable Chinese merchant
on his right.
The menu was almost wholly Chinese
and, in the opinion of Rev. Mr.. Damon,
who has attended many such feasts, was
one of the best ever served in our
Chinese community. Almost every
white guest ate unsparingly of shark g
fins, bird s nests, the little connections
of oyster, peppers and onion tips,
mushrooms and bamboo sprouts, 1ychee
preserves, etc, which go to make a
feast worthy of the presiding household
gods even of a taotai IS home. 1t was
the common remark that if a hand
some restaurant could be opened up
town where such good things were serv-
ed, it would seen be a fad of society to
take dinners there.
Several speeches We're made, Ho Fon
of Bishops bank leading. zee Chin
gave good talk, which Mr. Thwing
Interpreted. Mr.. Matthews spoke elo-
quently, as did Mr.. Patchin Mr.. Sheba
spoke for the Japanese and Mr.. Hen
shall of the Star and Mr.. Smith of the
Advertiser were heard There were
toasts to the President, the Emperor of
China, the Emperor of Japan, the cor
respondents and to the host, Mr., All
Leong.

When the Fleet
Enters Frisco

Plans for the entrance OF the fleet
into San Francisco harbor have been
perfected under orders of the Secre-
tary of the Navy, and the great ar
mada will sweep through the Golden
Gate through the southern passage
over the bar and around through the
strait with its frowning cliffs on the
north and Fort Point on the south,
steaming east toward Alcatraz,
then to the southeast toward Goat
Island, and then south to Hunters
Point, where the ships will turn in
formation proceeding north again two
miles to the anchorage off Mission
Rock. There they will lie moored
while they remain in the bay, directly
south of the ferry boat route from
Oakland to San Francisco.
Among plans for the entertainment
of the fleet at San Francisco will be
a ball for the enlisted men, at which
1000 young ladies of San Francisco
and Oakland will be present as part
ners of the blue jacks in the dance.

WILL OF LONG

Result

Today the will of the late CAPTAIN
Christopher Meyer, an old resident of
Carson City who died here a couple
of years ago, was filed in the county
Clerks Office
The document bears the date of
August 8, 1901 and bequeathes all his
property, real and personal, to his
wife. the late Wilhelmnia Meyer who
died this month. Daniel G. Kitz-
meyer Of this city is named as exec
utor to serve without bonds.
The will further provides that at
the death of his wife the property
shall go to Frederick Meyer a nephew
of this city.
Previous ~ the death of Mrs. Meyer
she decided her property to John
Geise Of this city in consideration of
the many kindnesses bestowed upon
her by Geise and his wife during the
last years OF her life This document
is dated November q, 1907 and has
been filed with the county clerk.
Geise and his wife practically sup
ported Mrs. Meyer during the past
couple of years and tenderly watched
over the elderly lady. They paid all
expenses of her last sickness and
death and it was Of the deceased
ladys own will and request that they
take the property at her death.
Whether the deceased knew of the
existing Will or not will never be
known but now Frederick Meyer, the
nephew, through his attorney, R..
Richard, demands the property as pro-
eided in the will executed nearly sew
en- years ago and which was never
filed nor recorded until Today.
A lawsuit will probably settle the
ownership of the property which is
claimed by the two different parties.

improvements

In another column of the paper will
be found call for bids for the con-
struction of twenty cell rooms at
the Nevada State Prison, each cell
to contain four prisoners.
This has become necessary owing
to increasing number of prisoners
that are daily arriving at the prison
from all parts of the state. The
money for this addition to the state
institution was appropriated by the
special session of the legislature last
spring
A number of the improvements
will also be necessary among them
being the raising of the walls and
