7YTR. CU-RTIS' LATEST LETTER
Views of Japan's Struggle and Its Effect on Affairs.
(A published In Chicago Reeori-Hera.14 and Philadelphia Press.)
TOKIO, July 15. The -war has ruined
the tourist season In Japan. There
are very few travelers here this sea
son, the great caravans which usually
come to spend the Spring and Summer
months and admire the cherry .blossoms
and wisteria having been frightened
away. The Mayors of the seven principal
cities, TokIo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama,
Kobe, Nagasaki and Nogoya, issued a.
Joint proclamation and sent it broadcast
over Europe and the United States to be
published in the newspapers, assuring the
traveling public that there was no dan
ger or interruption or excitement, and
that visitors to Japan this year would
experience no more Inconvenience than
ever. But it came too late, even if neo
ple believed it, and the only tourists to
be seen in Japan this Summer are on
their way home from a Winter in India.
The only inconvenience and discom
fort experienced by travelers this sea
son are due to the overcrowded trains
and the Interruption of regular traffic
on the railroad made necessary by the
transportation of troops. There is only
one railway east and west, and all of
the men and supplies for Manchuria are
sent over that, to be transferred to
transports at Moji and other points on
the west coast of the empire. All of the
other railways throughout Japan also
have been busy bringing troops to the
points of rendezvous, and this has call
ed for so many locomotives and cars
that at least half of the regular trains
have been taken off, and those which
have been continued have been short
ened. All dining and sleeping cars have
been taken off the regular trains and
put on the military trains for the use
of officers, which has been the cause
of the greatest discomfort and incon
venience, because there are no eating
houses along 'the Japanese railroads, and
nothing but fruit, rice and other. native
food can be obtained. The consequence
is that the regular trains have been
crowded in the most uncomfortable man
ner. Usually, even without a sleeping-car,
a night journey can be made comfort
able hy rolling up your overcoat for a
pillow and stretching out upon one of
the long settees which run on both sides
of first-class carriages like the scats in
our street-cars at home. These settees
are divided hy arms, which can be raised
and pushed back out of the way, and
if you have room enough they make
comfortable beds. But, when you are
compelled to pass a night in a narrow
seat with a tipsy young man on one
side of you and a baby on the other, you
are notifentirely happy.
A Japanese Baby.
That was my fate a lew nights ago
when I came across from Kyoto to
Tokio. Every seat In the car was taken
and the passengers were all Japanese
except Mr. Smith, a teabuyer from
Chicago, and the Yokohama agent of a
sewing machine company, a young
American, who proved to be an agree
able companion.
The baby was a wonder. Japanese
babies always are. They are worthy of
all the admiration that has been be
stowed upon them, and this little young
ster, who could not have been more than
3 or 4 years old, was as dignified and quiet
and accepted the situation as philosoph
ically as the most experienced passenger.
When bedtime came his mother took off
the foreign sailor hat he had been wear
ing .and his foreign shoes and stockings
and put them carefully away in a basket.
Then she wrapped him In Ills little
kimono, fixed a pillow for his bead, and
the little chap, lay down on the seat nd
was sound asleep in five minutes. And
ho slept all night, until daylight at least,
without a whimper, although at times he
was restless and poked his little Teet over
into my side of the barrier. His mother
was a dainty little creature, modest and
gentle, and scarcely uttered jel word dur
ing the- entire journey, but she always
had her eye on the boy, and when she
saw that he was crowding me, would
tenderly lift him back to his place.
The man who had the seat on the other
side was not so considerate. He was
continually sprawling over territory that
didn't belong to him. He had evidently
been lingering over the sake cup. His
head was befuddled, his eyelids were
heavy, and he was entirely indifferent
to all that occurred. He slept through
the night and was the only passenger in
the car who enjoyed that "blessing.
The Japs Are Polite.
Occasionally we got out at & statlpn and
stretched our legs. . We had plenty of op
portunities to do so. The stops were
many and the waits were long. It takes
about 20 hours to run S00 miles on the
present schedule.
In the middle of the night a fine look
ing Japanese gentleman lifted a basket
out of the rack above his head, removed
the cover and disclosed a quantity of de
licious looking strawberries, half con
cealed by large, cool, green leaves. Re
moving the covering, he passed the bas
ket around the car. Every passenger, ex
cept a drunken man and the baby, who
were still slumbering, accepted the com
pliment and took one beautiful berry
each. As the Japanese did so they rose
from their seats, made profound bows to
the owner of the berries, drew their
breath through their teeth with a whist
ling sound which denotes respect, and
passed the basket along to the next pas
senger. The Americans contented them
selves by nodding their heads and offer
ing a word of thanks. Having recovered
his basket, about one-third depleted, for
there were not more than 20 passengers
in the car, the owner produced a little
porcelain plate, a tin of condensed
cream, a lacquer-box of sugar and a pair
of chop sticks and proceeded to prepare
and eat the residue with deliberate enjoy
ment At every station through the entire
night "boys appeared with trays covered
with little pots of tea and earthen cups,
which they sold for 10 sen, or 5 cents in
our money, and the amount of tea con
sumed by the native passengers was ex
traordinary. When they emptied a pot,
they threw it and tho cup out of the win
dow, as if Jt were only a piece of wrap
ping paper, although they were very
pretty, both in design and decoration.
We were fully compensated for our fa
tigue and discomfort, as the dawn began
to break by having a magnificent series
of views of Fujiyama, the sacred moun
tain of Japan, which appeared first on
one side of the train and then on the
other as the track twisted around among
the 'mountains and under a succession of
lights, like those thrown upon a ballot
dance,
Everybody Bathed.
About S o'clock there was a curious
spectacle. As the train slowed down at a
particular station, I noticed that all the
natives in the car began to overhaul their
kits and take out towels and soap, tooth
brushes, hair brushes, combs and other
toilet articles and some of them pro
duced clean kimonas. The moment the
train stopped they made a break, not
only from our car, but from every other,
for the large fountain and rows of fau
cets over a trough which ran along the
fence that Incloses the platform. And
such a scrubbing and splashing you never
saw.
The Japanese, as you have often been
told, are children of Nature. Their rules
of conduct, particularly as to bathing and
the exposure of the person, are much
broader than ours. You can see more
bare skin, masculine and feminine, in
Japan in a minute than you can see in
Chicago in a month, and Chicago is not
noted for its modesty, either. It is simply
a matter of education, and the people of
Japan are gradually conforming to the
conventional ideas of propriety. There
has been a great change in that respect
since I was here nine years ago. Then it
was a common thing for men and women
of all ages to bathe together in tho open
air, stark naked, without the slightest
suspicion of shame or Impropriety. They
bad always done so until the Europeans
came and told them that such freedom
was Immodest and improper. Nowadays
at the hot springs the pools aro divided
by a partition. The women bathe on one
side and the men on the other as a con
cession to European etiquette, and bath
ing suits are worn at seaside resorts by
order of the police authorities.
Reform at Kobe.
Some years ago a great tidal wave of
reform struck the city, of Kobe, where
for centuries it had been the custom for
the ladles and gentlemen of the middle
and lower classes to bathe together at
the end of their dally labors in a great
cement pool that is fed from a group of
hot springs in the neighborhood. There
is a roof over the pool, supported by
columns- something like a pavilion, and
benches covered with red blankets are
placed around under the trees outside,
where the bathers of both sexes remove
and leave their clothing and Bit and gos
sip and drink tea after they come from
the water.
Dally, and many times a day, 40 or 60
and even more men, women and children
could be found splashing in this jtool at
Kobe, as innocent as Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden, without dreaming
that they were guilty of an impropriety
until the great moral wave I mentioned
arrived at Kobe, and reformers began
to agitate the question of modesty as
understood in other lands. The officials
of Kobe are always progressive, and try
to be up to date. Therefore, when it was
suggested that men and women should
not be allowed to bathe together in that
pool, the municipal authorities took
prompt and summary action. They In
structed the police to stretch a rope
across the center and require that the
men folks bathe on one. side of it and the
women on the other. This was a conces
sion to foreign sentiment, and still greater
concessions have since been made. A par
tition about four feet high now divides
the pool, although there are cracks be
tween the boards an Inch or so wide, and
plenty of other peekholes.
The same unconventionallty prevailed
at the washing station on the railroad
that morning, and the train stopped half
an hour so that every passenger could
have a chance to wallow in the cold,
clear water. And nearly every one availed
themselves of the privilege. Most of them
retained the impprtant portions of their
garments. Others both men and women
stripped to the waist, and then lifted
their kimonas and tucked the skirls Into
their girdles, eo that they could bathe
their limbs as high as the thighs. Two
men, both of them elderly and old-fashioned,
removed all their clothing, stood as
naked as they were born, in the midst of
-the crowd upon the platform and pro
ceeded to take what the French call a
"grand basin." Nobody seemed to notice
them, although women of all ages passed
to and fro and even stood beside them.
And they seemed utterly unconscious of
impropriety. It was their common habit
to bathe every morning, and they did so
wherever an opportunity offered.
The Japanese aro the cleanest people
in the world. They are always bathing
and scrubbing. The servants of all
households expect to be allowed at least
an hour each day for bathing, just as
they expect to have time for their meals,
but I have never seen or heard before of
a railway train stopping for half an hour
to give Its passengers a chance to take a
bath. W. E. CURTIS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16. (Special .Corres
pondencesRepublican speakers in
the coming campaign will first have
to demonstrate their ability as "spell
''binders" before they will be permitted to
take the stump. One of the first things
Representative James A. Tawney, of Min
nesota, who is chairman of tho speakers'
bureau of the National headquarters, did
when he opened his offices here was to
engage a room adjoining his suite at the
Auditorium Annex, which he' will use as a
"trying-out" place. Here the tyros, as
well as those who aro able talkers, but
who lack a National reputation, will be
given a chance at oratory with th,e old
time practitioners in the business as hear
ers. And it Is here also that a large
number of them will be given their first
lessons in the first reader of the National
political curriculum.
Scope of Bureau.
The new speakers' bureau Is a consoli
dation of the bureau of the Congressional
campaign committee and that of the Na
tional committee. Formerly the two com
mittees have maintained separate bureaus,
the Congressional devoting its time and
efforts to the election of Republican mem
bers of Congress, while the National
Committee primarily interested itself In
the election of tho Presidential ticket
The consolidation enlarges Congressman
Tawneys duties to cover the whole coun
try. By the present arrangement the Na
tional Commltteo is to furnish speakers
of National repute to be used in Congres
sional districts and in the doubtful states.
The National speakers' bureau will fur
nish orators with their dates to the state,
and the various stato committees will
have charge of their dates and the ar
rangement of the halls and the enter
tainment of the speakers.
This rearrangement Is expected to
greatly simplify the work of campaigning
and to bring better results than could be
obtained under the old system.
List of "Star". Speakers.
A list of the "star" speaker who will
tour the country is already being prepared
and it Includes many of the men in the
country who have National reputations as
orators, among them being Senator De
pew, A. J. Bevorldge, Speaker Cannon,
Knight of California, Frye of Maine,
Bede of Minnesota, and Lowden of Illi
nois. The selection of the latter caused
a surprise to his Chicago friends as the
son-in-law of the dead Pullman car mag
nate and the defeated candidate for the
Gubernatorial nomination has never been
heard on the rostrum except on the oc
casion of a local banquet or something of
that sort. He is an able man, however,
and possessed of considerable wit. The
other speakers need no introduction to
the American public
The exact part that the "Vice-Presidential
candidate will play in the campaign
has not as yet been determined. Whether
the President makes any speeches or not
It is tho sentiment around the headquar-.
ters that Mr. Fairbanks will be called on'
for talks in various parts of the country.
Leaders Frequent Visitors.
The leaders of the party are making
frequent visits to Chicago and the cam
paign will be under full swing in a few
days. Among the callers-this week was
Senator Dick, who succeeded to the seat
of -the late Senator Hanna. The Senator
came to have a talk with Secretary Dover
In connection with the situation In Ohio
He believes it is yet too early to make
any forecasts on the general outlook, but
he Is disposed to follow Chairman Cortel
you In warning his colleagues not to take
anything for granted. He thinks Roose
velt will win, but warns the leaders that
they will have to work and work hard to
pull out a victory.
Committeeman Schneider of Nebraska
has returned from his visit to Fremont
and is taking a leading part In shaping
the arrangements for the campaign. The
appointment of W. F. Balnbrldge, of
Council Bluffs, to act as an assistant to
Congressman Tawney on the speakers'
bureau is expected to add strength to the
party In the Missouri River section.
Oldest Iron Warship Here
Tho United States steamship Michigan,
the oldest iron man-o'-war In commission
In any navy, is at anchor off the Colum
bia Yacht Clubhouse. Tho vessel Is In
Chicago harbor on a cruise of the Great
Lakes recruiting for Uncle Sam'e mari
time service. The keel of the old Michi
gan, one of the first Ironclads built, was
laid In 1S43, and since the -vessel's- launch
ing a year later It has been In commission
almost continuously. The ship's comple
ment Is 107, Including officers and marines.
The work of the Michigan for the last
60 years, with a few exceptions, has been
peaceful. The ship helped to 'quell the
Fenian raid, and during the War of the
Rebellion acted as guardshlp over the
Confederate prisoners at Johnson's Island.
While anchored at Sandusky, .0., taking
on supplies, the Confederates conceived a
plot to capture the ship and release the
prisoners on the island, but through the
bravery of a petty officer the plot was
foiled.
Hundreds of Chlcagoans and visitors to
the -city have taken advantage of the in
vitation of the Commander to Inspect the
old craft while in this port.
New Biography of Moliere.
Hobart C. Chatfleld-Taylor, the author,
has arrived home from Paris after an
absence of 14 months, and he announces
that he is at work on two new hooks.
One is a novel dealing with the love of
Moliere for Madclione Bejart during the
great French playwright's early manhood,
while the other is an exhaustive biography
of Moliere. Both books are well under
way, ten chapters- of each having been
written.
Mr. Taylor went abroad to gather data
for the two books, and he has studied
many documents and books dealing with
the French author and his times. In the
Bibliotheque Nationale and in the archives
of the Theater Francais he found volumU
nous information of the kind he wished.
Officials of the French Government gave
him' valuable assistance because, of the
fact that there aro only small and Inade
quate biographies of Moliere In English
in existence. For his service to the cause
of literature Mr. Taylor was decorated by
the French Government the first of the
year. He expects to have the new books
completed before Fall.
To Wed in Lions' Den.
West Madison street merchants are
planning a great street fair, and one of
the unique attractions will be a series of
weddings in a den of seven lions on the
"Pike." Forty-seven couples have al
ready made application to have their nup
tials celebrated under these circumstances,
and a South Side minister has been en
gaged to read the service. He is the. Rev.
G. H. Markham. but he ha3 expressly
stipulated in hlo contract that he will not
etand within "eating" distance of the
lions. He will stand on the outersdde of
the bars that separate the beasts from
freedom. The couples brave enough to
marry while the ferocious- African man
caters sniff at the orange blossoms or
glare hungrily at the bridegroom, will
gain as a prise a five-room fiat, furnished
free of charge in which to begin house
keeping. -The animals in whose- presence
the wedding service will be read aro the
most savage of 40 belonging to a circus
now showing In the city. The competi
tion will be limited to ten, and the names
of the "lucky" ones will be announced In
a few days.
Woodcock Shooting in City.
Local sportsmen received an eye-opener
this week. There is good woodcock shoot
ing within five miles of tho City Hall.
And It was the city's Chief Executive
who made the discovery. Deprived of
his Summer vacation, which ho usually
spends In the fastnesses of Huron Moun
tain, in Northern Michigan, where he has
a Summer home, because of the stock
yards strike, Mayor Harrison the other
day took a long ramble in a northwesterly
direction from tho City Hall with City
Electrician Ellicott They finally came to
a dense timber where the underbrush was
almost Impenetrable and the weeds "higher
than their heads, and after prowling
around a bit discovered unmistakable evi
dences of high-class game. They returned
to the city instanter, and tho Executive
went to his office and Issued a permit for
Citizen Harrison, of Schiller street, to dis
charge firearms inside tho city limits.
Thus fortified, the Mayor and his cabinet
officer dohned" canvas suits, hauled down
their fowling pieces and trekked again to
the northwest the MayorTefuses to re
call the exact location. In less than two
hours they boarded a car headed down
town. In their hunting bags were 11 wood
cock, and this is their evidence for their
story. As there are none to bo purchased
In the city, it is believed.

One of Portland's oldest, as well as finest and most distinguished edu
cational institutions, St. Mary's influence is evident in thousands of cul
tured homes throughout the Northwest. Musical instruction is one of its
distinguishing features, and its piano classes especially are taxed to their
utmost capacity. Its corps of instructors are, without exception, musicians
of highest accomplishments.

sustaining tone making it especially dear to the heart of every musician,
and especially to singers.
