CHINESE NEW YEARS
FIESTA LAUNCHED
Oriental Quarter Gay With
Color and Merry Making
CelestialS

Today is Chinese New Years day.
year season began yesterday after
noon and will continue throughout the
remainder of the week. This is a sea-
son for merry making and the usual
custom among the Chinese of exchang-
ing presents, attending banquets and
making calls will be followed.
This new year season will be the
banner one for the members of San
Francisco's Chinatown since before the
fire. They will be permitted to set off
firecrackers today and throughout the
week. This privilege has been denied
the Chinese in San Francisco since the
earthquake until this year The order
of Chief of Police Martin in granting
them permission to set off firecrackers
is greatly appreciated by the Chinese.
The streets of Chinatown were
thronged last evening with merry max
ing bands of Chinese and there were
also several thousand visiting whites
Chinese music was heard until an early
hour yesterday morning and the fes-
tivities were participated in not only
by the permanent members of the dis
trict, but by many thousand visiting
Chinese from all sections of the state.
Booths in which are exhibited fruits
and other delicacies dear to the Chin
ese, foodstuffs, flowers, clothing and
fancy articles line the streets on both
sides. The settlement of the trouble
between the different tongs concerned
in the recent war will bring greater
number of orientals into the festivi-
ties. Business is reported as being
brisk and the Chinese have arranged
a program of pleasure this year that
will excel any year since before the
fire.
The merry making will include the
usual inside gambling games. There
are already several clubs in operation

The election commission will hold a
special meeting Thursday afternoon to
elect president for the year. Com
missioner Gator has been the holdover
chief of the board since the close of
December and will probably be re-
turned to the position. Commissioner

at special meeting about the close of
the year, but Gator quoted precedent
casting some doubt upon the legality
of the selection at that time and the
matter went over. 1t is understood that
Weinholz is not anxious to sit at the

summated by them, in which the con-
sideration aggregated s1,115,2OO. The
first is a lease running SO years in
which the sum of s1,O21,2OO represents
the total rental for the term The
second is a sale representing pur-
chase price of 1000. To both trans
actions more than usual interest at
taches, on account of the significance
Of the moves fully as much as because

BUSINESSMAN AND
STUDENT ELOPE
Miss Ethel ThOrndyke Becomes
the Bride of Milton
Monaghan

A romance which had its inception
nearly three years ago, but which was
baff1ed by the opposition of the girls
relatives. was completed yesterday noon
when Miss Ethel Thorndyke, a Stanford
student, became the wife of Milton
Monaghan, well known in Olympic club
circles and a member of the firm of M.
B. Monaghan.
The wedding was a secret affair, not
even the girls uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bond, or the bridegrooms brother,
Charley Monaghan. being taken into
their confidence. In fact, when Charles
Monaghan heard of the marriage
yesterday afternoon he laughed and
doubted.
The marriage took place at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles T. Havens at
1881 Howard street. Father William

gineered the elopement.

architect, accompanied by Mrs. Havens,
went to an Elks jinks in San Mateo
Mrs. Havens has been the confdant of
Miss Thorndyke, and when the party
left San Mateo to come to this city
yesterday morning Miss Thorndyke was
with them. She had been a student at
Stanford for the last month.
Friends of the young couple knew of
their love affair. Differences of re-
ligious belief seemed the only reason
why they should not be married, and
this. together with the age of the young
woman, acted as stumbling block in
the path of their romance. 1t is said
that Miss Thorndyke was sent to Palo
Alto that she might escape the atten-
tions of her sweetheart. But 80 miles
and college routine did not intercept
communication, and love found a way.
MARRIED BY SCHOOLMATE
Mrs Havens assisted Yesterday
morning Miss Thorndyke joined her at
San Mateo. Moraghan was in waiting,
having been advised of the plans. He
procured a license hurriedly and then

present at the ceremony. The bridal

the nerves of pressure then nature
steps in and completes the work.
The work that the Chiropractors does
is to remove the obstructions which in
terrupt the flow of life giving vitality
from the nerves to the organs of the
body. Like little pebbles that lodge
IN a water pipe and retard the free fiow
OF water, subluxations of the spine
cause a pinching OF the nerves which
pass between them, stopping wholly or
In part the passage OF nervous force
to the organs Of the body and whatever
organ is affected decreases in activity
In exact ratio as the life is cut off
from ii.
SO when you think OF CURING dis
ease remember that a cure is natures
part and that no man yet known has
ever done the work that nature alone
can do, that the most any form of heal
ing can promise is to assist. Chiro-
practic adjustments are the most ef-
fective of any known way of rernovInc
the Cause Of disease that human
knowledge has ever devised. They
contain the promise and the fulflIment
of GOOD to the sick body.
