"There She Blows!"
Our salmon fishermen have been
more or less uneasy during the past
week owing to the presence in the bay
of a black Ush a small edition of the
whale but up to date the fish has
neither swallowed any of the boys nor
upset their boats. Tuesday Fred Stan
ton, Ade Crosno and George McCaulou
went out in a smallboat to slay the
monster. They were armed with all
kinds of artillery including rifles, re
volvers and empty beer bottles that is,
the latter were empty in due time,
They couldn't find the fish, but shot
the bay full or holes where tney
thought he might be in hiding, They
tried to coax him to the surface with
nice fat oysters, which were kindly do
nated for the good of the cause by
Commissioner George King of Winant,
The scheme failed to work, however,
and the hunters ate the oysters -a peck
or two. The fish again made his ap
pearance Tuesday night and nearly ran
over some of the fishermen. He has
been seen in the bay at a point about
6outli of Toledo. These flsh aro seldom
seen in the bay, and never before so
far from the ocean. The estimated
length of the present visitor is 20 to 30
feet. His speed when traveling near
the surface with his hump sticking out
is aid to be hair-raising.
A TOLEDO BOY IN JAPAN.
The Clean and Beautiful City
of Tokio Jack Ashore.
Shedd Rosebrook of this city, who is
a musician on the battleship Wisconsin,
gives the following interesting descrip
tion of Tokio, the capital of Japan, in
a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Austin Rosebrook, under date of Sep.
tember21, 1903:
"The street upon which the Tokio
depot faces is so crowded with oxcarts
and freight vehicles of various kinds
that it is with some difficulty you are
able to cross, and the clatter of wooden
shoes is' almost deafening. You are
surrounded by a clamoring throng of
rikisha men and handed a piece of
paper, on which is written in English
and Japanese the various points of in
terest about the city. Naturally, you
select the Milnn'o 'Palace, v.'hich vou
indicate npon the elip. As you proceed
along the streets (which are kept in ex
cellent condition) your human horse
will turn in the shafts and point out
the various buildings, theaters, consul
ates, temples and churches, the names
of which he has learned only to make
himself agreeable and polite to his
passengers. After half an hour's ride
through a labyrinth of streets you
arrive at the park or garden where the
capitol buifdings are located. Miniature
lakes and fountains seem to be the
characteristic feature of embellishment
in all Japanese parks and gardens, all
of which are liberally stocked with
goldfish. This park is at the rear of
the capitol buildings, which face on a
broad and well macadamized avenue.
either side of which is lined with beau
tiful Bhade trees. This avenue termi
nates at the gate through the wall
which surrounds the public park before
the Mikado's garden.
'The palaco of the Mikado is most
sacredly guarded, and an entrance to it
could not b easily forced by Invaders.
It. is surrounded by a double set of
walls and moats. The first incloses a
garden or park", which is open to the
public, but which can be closed at any
time against invasion. You cross this
moat, pass through the gate, and find
yourself in a large, triangular court.
To proceed it is necessary to go through
another gate, where you are confronted
by a broad expanse of clover lawn sur
rounded by a stone wall 20 feet high.
This lawn is known as the 'outer gar
den,' and ia intended as a protection as
well as a rendezvous for troops In time
of siege. Inside of this inclosure, upon
a slight elevation, and surrounded by
yet another wall and moat. In sacred
privacy, is the palace and garden of
his highness, the entrance to which is
guarded by heavily bolted doors, before
wbich stands a corporal's guard. At
intervals along the top of the wall are
watch towers which . command a view
of an immense radius. A beautiful
stone bridge crosses the moat to the
palace gate .
"On accasion of the Mikado's passing
along the street in his royal conveyance
no one is allowed to look upon him
from windows from a higher elevation
than . he bimself is. As his carriage
proceeds children may climb telegraph
poles to get a better view, but are im
mediately brmtght to the ground, and
people who assemble at windows and
on balconies are ordered inside their
houses.
"Aboard 6hip we have a 'field day' on
Saturday to prepare for inspection Sun
day. Ia Tokio they have a 'field day'
on Friday to prepare for inspection
Saturday. Should you visit Tokio on
Friday you would find 'all hands' busy
'cleaning bouse,' and all the shops are
more or less in a state of turmoil
Every Saturday sanitary officers make
rigid inspections of those districts, and
in places where the rtate of cleanliness
does not conform with the letter of the
law, offenders are punished by heavy
fines.
"Not forgetting that there are other
places of interest, you look at the card
wbich the 'rikisha' man is continually
presenting, and select for your next
visit the temples, which are about two
miles from the Mikado's Palace.
"After passing numerous shops and
crossing several canals and streams the
streets widen and you soon find your
self In the residence portion of the
city. With an occasional vacant inter
vals on either side of the streets are
etone walls about ton feet high which
inclose the residences. The sidewalks
are quite narrow, and between them
and the street are sanitary drains.
These are kept clean en the regular
Friday 'field day' by the women and
and children. Within the inclosures
will be found the same cleanly state
which prevails throughout the city.
"The wall surrounding the temple
garden is soon reached, the entrance to
whicli would bo very difficult to find,
owing to the dense growth of trees and
shrubbery both before and behind it.
The inclosure is divided into smaller
courts, where children will be found
performing acrobatio feats of all kinds
under a teacher. Within the walls are
several temples, each devoted to a dif
ferent branch of worship, the mot
prominent of which is the Temple of
Gold Lacquer. This temple is almost
obscured from view by a dense growth
of shrubbery. The temple is built of
biack mahogany and its architecture
is grand and embellished with hand
carved figures of artistic and symbolical
design. On either side of the corridor
are constructed vaults that contain
sacred manuscripts of parchment. The
navo ia about 50 feet square and the
walls are something over 20 feet high.
The altar is built of highly polished
black marble inlaid with gold.on either
side of which are trees made of pure
gold. Gold is manifest throughout the
entire interior. The immense pillars
which support the heavy tile roof are
made of black marble Inlaid with gold.
The floor is also of highly polished
black marble. Incense burns before
the altar continually. Upon leaving the
temple you are supposed to leave your
pittance.
' Now, from this short note, do not
conclude that the Mikado's Palace and
the Temple of Gold Lacquer are the
only things to be seen in Tokio, for it
has a good deal Sver a million inhab
itants. But liberty is up, and I must
return aboard ship."
