flippancy and strange advocacies.

auspices of the Ladles of Charity, of
which Miss Agnes Iteppller Is presldont.

A dozen movlng-plcturo cameras clicked
merrily at noon today, when Clarence Jay
Ulmer, a San Franciscan, nnd Edith
Strand Anderson, who have been married
several times heforo on tho screen, wero
united In matrimony In a real marriage.
Tho only difference In today's ceremony
from the previous ones was tho presence
of Magistrate Joseph Call, who got In tho
picture long enough to make Mr. Elmer
and his pretty "opposlto" a really and
truly bride and groom.
In order to make sure that nobody
walked out of the picture 12 machines
wcro employed 12, count 'em nna moro
than E00 members of the Lubln Company
participated In tho ceremony. "Judge"
Call was all dolled up In his offlclal
robes for tho occasion and wore his
most judicial expression until some ortho
"supes" walked Into tho ceremony and
filled the air with confusion, old shoes,
rice and congratulations.

the householders.
With these they charged In lancer-llke
fashion upon both armies. Some ot the
cops were hit with cabbage bombs spiked
with palls as they attempted to bowl the
soldiers over,
The army, known as "The Cow
towners," 'ws,s the most vicious and Its
members wero not awed by the police.
Finally the cops drove them from tho
building and captured four of their of

FIANCEE, $18; 'BOSS' 1 CENT;
HIS VALENTINE'S DAY COSTS
Launcclot's Expenses Exceed His
"Weekly Insult" by S3.
Luuncclot McGlnnis Is a nice oung
man. He's a clork In a downtown office,
and for his labors gets 15 fifty-two times
a year. Ofttlmcs Lancelot Is tempted to
call this his weekly "Insult"; particularly
Is this truo nround Valentine time.
For Launcclot has a girl. She Isn't an
extiavagant girl, but on Valentine's Day
Cupid demands that nil thoso who feel
the divine spark of lovo express It in
some tangible way, nnd Launcelot's
flnncce would be sure tn think he had hU
eyes on thnt blonde office person who
works side by side with him If ho didn't
send her the customary lovo tokens.
And so he's been saving up. Yesterday,
with a determined air, ho sallied foith.
This Is what he bought:
Heart-shaped box of bonbons with an
over-fed, under-dressed Cupid wielding a
gilded arrow sportively on tho lid 3.
Heart-shaped box of fragrant violets
(enough to assure tho girl's friends that
ho wns NOT making $15 per) $5.
Two theatre' tickets $3.
After the orgy of spending was over,
Launcclot had $5 and some small change
.remaining In his pocket.
"Tho flvo spot will buy an nfter-then-tro
supper," he said, and caressed the
xmall change nftccttonately. Just then
his eyo lighted on a Valentine It wasn't
one Inspired by the god of love. It de
picted a miserly, Silas Marner-sort-of-person
and was entitled "The Tight
wad." "Tho very thing for Old Scrooge"
which was Launcelot's tender way of re
ferring to his employer. "Maybe If f
feud It to him he'll -Bee the error of his
ways and shell out."
Tho "Tight-wad" cost exactly 1 cent.
Now Lnuncelot U no philosopher. He's
a clerk. But taken all In all he has de
cided thnt It's much less expensive to
"sat sty the most towering grudge than the
Grande passion. The girl knows nothing
nf this, but she's convinced of Launce
lot's love.

days after the vessels have left port. This.

CHINESE HEW YEAR
CELEBRATED TODAY
BY INDOOR SPORTS
n i M - - '
Weird Music and Sounds of
Revelry Heard From
Chinatown's Back Par
lors Joss House Deserted
dongs clanged at brief, Intervals and
Chinese musicians discoursed strange
sounds In Chinatown's back parlors today,
while the punk sticks that the enlightened
use to drive away mosquitoes fumed
thickly before Joss godsnil to celebrate
tho Chinese New Tear, which reached
hern yesterday and won't stop until mid'
night tontght It la the fourth year of
the Chinese Republic, and the CTSZd of
tiia ancient dynasties, whichever you
choose, though most of the Inhabitants
of Chinatown like to think of the new
republic designation ns the proper one.
Chinese New Year's cards that can
hardly be distinguished from your laundry
tickets wero delivered by the postmen
'his morning. Tea, chicken yokamlne,
Ahee nng (Chinese sausage) and many
other things Chinese eat began disappear
trig almost ns soon ns the colony looked
out the windows nnd saw what sort of
weather tho Now Year had brought.
From 9th street to 10th on Race business
has ceased. All the way from On Lonss
delicatessen store, near the corner of 9th
street, up to the King Wo Company's
China and bric-a-brac emporium, shut
tered doors proclaim a holiday. But the
holiday Is largely kept Indoors. Tho last
time thero was anything lively on tho
stieets of Chinatown during New Year's
parties a band of Tongs from New York
fired off Roman candles and a revolver or
two Into a parade marching under tho
old yellow and black dragon flng. So now
they stay Inside on Now Year's.
PASSING OF JOSS HOUSE.
This year the Joss Houso will have
very little part In tho celebration, ac
cording to Liang Chow, of tho Chinese
Merchants' Association. He says the
old religion went out with the new Re
public and that now a Chinese has no
religion, unless he's a Christian. Liang
Chow Is not one. Tho Joss House, It
appears has descended to a rather com
mercial level. It Is ot 934 Race street
up on the fourth floor. Slnco Its religion
went out of fashion with tho coming of
tho new Republic, the Joss House nunc
out n sign to nttract visitors: "This
way to the Chinese Temple." In the old
days admission was difficult for the white
mnn
Four flights up Is a narrow passngo
leading to a front room. A middle-aged
Mongolian wearing n red sweater and n
cap cnmo from a front room and waited
expectantly. Overhead was a sign, "Flvo
Cents to See." Ho took the money grate
fully and you followed him Into tho
front room. It was lined with gaudy
clinlra facing a large flat table, behind
which, In a deep recess, hung the picture
of n long-mustached Celestial. The man
In the red swenter and cap pays no at
tention to visitors. Having got your ad
mission, ho goes through the business
with dispatch.
WORSHIPING IN TEMPLE.
On the flat table, ornately carved, lay
a chicken, a red berry In Its beak. The
worshiper lifted a cup of water from
beside the chicken nnd poured a stream
on the floor. Then ho hitched up hla
trousers and knelt on a red pillow pre
viously placed, bowing flvo times to the
floor. Rising, ho reached out his hands
toward the Joss and bobbed his head.
A largo gong hung beside .the window,
nround the corner from tho flat table. He
walked around, struck It heavily with a
mallet for two minutes nnd then sat In
a chair and pointed at a sign overhead.
It read: "Notice Bracelets, Incense, tea
nnd ll-chestnut nro blessed by the Joss
and nre called lucky charms."
Today a few of the older Chinese are
celebrating In the Joss House. To the
faithful admission Is free.
Horses nnd Hogs Saved From Eire
Fire wrecked a barn at tho North Phila
delphia stockyard. Rising Sun lane and
Luzerne street, and for a time threat
ened to sweep tho entire yards. Slxty
horses and a number of hogs wero led
to safety by firemen and employes around
tho yards. The damage Is estimated at
$15,000. The fire was discovered by Rich
ard Rogers, a contractor and owner of
the horses, late yesterday. By the time
firemen arrived on the sceno It was Im
possible to save the barn, and It re
quired desperate work to save nearby
structures. More thap 1 tons of hay
was destroyed.
