WHERE PERRY LANDED.
1t is Proposed to Erect q Suitable
Memorial in japan,

The Department Of State has received
from the consul general at Yokohama a
circular issued by the president of the
American Association OF Japan, who ia the
Japanese minister OF justice. relative to
the proposed erection at Kurihama Of q
monument commemorative of the arrival
at that place forty-eight years ago Of Com
modore Perry U. S. N, as the American
envoy for the purpose of concluding the
first treaty of commerce and friendly in
tercourse between the United States and
Japan. The circular says;
Japan has not forgotten-nor will she
ever forget-that next to her reigning and
most beloved sovereign, whose high virtues
and great wisdom are above all praise, she
owes, in no small degree, her present pros
perity to the United States OF America, in
that the latter rendered her the great and
lasting service already referred to. After
the lapse of these forty-eight years her
people have, however, come to entertain
but an uncertain memory Of Kurihama,
and yet 1t was there that Commodore Perry
first trod on.the soil of Japan and for the
first time awoke the country from slum-
berouS seclusion of three centuries-there
1t was where first cleaned the light that
has ever since illumned Japan's way in
her new career of progress. Even writer's
seldom mention the place now. and the spot
where the American envoy landed and
which should forever be remembered in
gether.
Last fall we had the pleasure of meet
ing Rear Admiral Beardslee, U. s. N, who
as a naval cadet and a member of the
crew under Commodore Perry landed at
Kurihama on the historical occasion, and
who after these forty-eight years once more
came back to pay a visit to this country.
Beckoned by the memories of the past, the
admiral went to Kurihama Immediately
after his arrival in Japan. but he was only
able to ascertain the spot where the envoy
and his party had landed half a century
ago by the help Of an old survivor OF those
bygone days. We We're greatly moved by
his account of his second visit to Kurihama,
and we Immediately set on foot a move
nient to erect a fitting monument which
may perpetuate the place in question in
the memory Of our posterity. We have
since made such progress with this move
ment that a site for the monument has al
ready been selected. 1t is our determina-
tion to accomplish the end in view with all
possible promptitude and to hold the cere
mony of unveilipg the monument on the
coming anniversary Of the landing Of the
American envoy at Kurihama, the 14th OF
July this year. We hope that those who
are interested in the matter will favor us
by indorsng our undertaking in sub
StaDtial manner"

There was a painful silence instead of the cheer- full pancake prisons to which they had attuned their ears on the journey. They thought they might have mistaken the street number and asked a small boy if they were in the vicinity Jf the pan cake temple.

 They knocked vigorously on the door and in response an upper window was thrown open. Mir Chalmers. half asleep and in a night robe. looked out and remembered the invitation to his visitors to come and be initiated into the mysteries of pancakes. He told them the ceremony was now in course of preparation and to possess their souls in patience. Hastily dressing, he ran down stairs, awoke the cook and urged her tC do her best in this dread full emergency. The future faith of his relatives rested entirely upon her per formance. In due time the pancake sacrifice was ready. It was celebrated in silence. with misgiving. The pan cakes were not light and bouyant as heavy as sinburdened conscience. Mr. Chalmers relatives left unconverted to the pancake doctrine.
