turers and merchants, so that although
the main object of the society is of
social nature, it may be of great service
to those who go to investigate CONNER

tourist the society Will introduce him
at his request to any Japanese noble
man or gentleman, if the circumstances
seem to warrant such an introduction.

the society might make arrangements
at its own cost to entertain him, so that
it's members and friends may make his
acquaintance.
The society is maintained by sub
scrip5ions from sympathizers and by
contributions from its own members.
The tourist is, therefore, charged only

to recover part of the expenses in
volved in the services rendered to him.
On payment of the fee the tourist IS
presented with a map of the district
in which he wishes to travel, bearing
the name of the holder and the society S
seal, and its presentation at any Of the
offices of the society will secure to him
all the privileges of that corporation.

nation about the country, catalogues
Of works on Japan, lists Of japanese
productions, advertisements relating to
the facilities for travel, ETC., are kept
at The society's library, to which the
tourist can have access at any time.
American visitors to Japan, of whom
the number is largely increasing every
year, Will do well to take advantage of
the services Of this excellent society,"

Death or Henry GeOrgo.

Henry George, candidate for
Mayor of Greater New York, and the
most noted supporter of the single
tax theory, died suddenly in New
York on Friday morning. To the
many in America and Europe who
believed in the doctriues he advocated,
he was one of the greatest men of
modern lines. His name has become
indissolubly connected with the bet
terment of the conditions which
furnish the most embarrassing prob
lens Of modern times, and he 10 re-
garded by a great portion of the think
ers of th'a and other countries as the
apostle ofreform on these hnea. His
death has removed one Of the worlds
giants Of intellect, and he leaves be-
hind him cult which will live aud
grow long after he has ceased to be
its moving spirit.
