At SACRED FUJIYAMA
THIS MOUNTAIN BELOVED BY
WHOLE JAPANESE NATION.
Annual Pilgrimages Made Thereto
Wonderful View from Top
Rises Twelve Thousand Feet
from the Plain.

Mr. G. Waldo Browne, in bis book
Japan; the Place and the People. %
writes Of Fujyama, the peerless noun
tain, as follows; Seen from the sis-
tant ocean, its truncated crest, wrapped
in a robe of snow for three-fourths of
the time, looks like a pink and white
pillar rising abruptly from the immeas-
urable deep. The first land view de-
fines it, some so miles away, as lone
ly sentinel in white, the pinnacle Of
more than so square miles of country,
every foot of which has helped to rear
this gigantic monarch. Seen in the
clear light of morning, mystic halo
seems to encircle it, from which it
bursts forth like a jewel of purest lus-
ter set in an opaline sky. Under this
effect, II is easy to accept the poetical
signification of It's name. The
voice of ages says that this vast noun
tain was bulded in a single night, and
the earth and substance taken TO rear
its majestic form were taken from that
hollow in the ground, 200 miles distant,
which is now filled with the water of
Lake Biwa. In the light of modern
knowledge, this does not seem to be al
together impossible or improbable
Within comparatively short time,
that mighty protuberance which
breaks the steady rise of the eastern
slope Of Mishima has been lifted bodily

one need not 90 far to find ample evil

ashes and molten masses, which are
yelled but not concealed by the thin
growth Of vegetables creeping over Flu
iiyama's broad pumice-covered slopes.
What Vesuvius is to Naples, Kilauea
to Hawaii. Shasta to California, Hecla
to Iceland, Fujiyama is to Japan. It is
source of national pride, Of majestic
grandeur, Of fear but half concealed
haste, she gave it the softness of con-

cense- burning altar. Aside from the
reverential feeling which naturally
urges on the visitor to the peerless
mountain, it affords one Of the noblest
and most delightful trips that can be
taken in the Sunrise land. Rising over
$1,000 feet from the plain at one sweep,
the view from the top is the broadcast
and finest in all Japan. Not many
years since, the entire distance from
any point had to be made on foot, or
seated in the mountain chair borne by
four sure-footed coolies. Now a three
hours ride by rail from Yokohama
takes one to the village of Gotemba,
at the foot of the mountain. If the
tourist is able-bodisd, he had better
complete the journey on foot. Despite
his extra exertions he will find this
preferable to being carried, cramped up
like a jackknife half closed, in a kago,
or that more pretentious but scarcely
more comfortable eastern palanquin.

SPRING CARNIVAL
TO BE TAKEN UP BY PADUCAH
ASSOCIATION SOON.
The Best Attractions Possible VIII
BE Sccured-The Date
Not Set.

At an early date the Paducah
Carnival Association will have ga
meeting to discus plans for next
years carnival. The association will
give one but there has been no
meeting held to decide on what kind
of an amusement to give.
Mr. l.. A. Lagomarsino, a leading
member of the Paducah Carnival AS
ISOLATION, stated this morning that
there would be a carnival of some
kind but he could not state at this
time what 1t would be. lie said he
favored something new and novel
and if such a show could be secured
it would attract many more people
than the ordinary carnival, of which
Paducah has had a number in the
past three or four years. He said the
association would soon hold a ses-
sion for the purpose of discussing
entertainment but could not say just
what date the meeting would take
place.
The big carnival promoters will
this year study up many new feat
ures and will probably before spring
arrives have something to offer that
will be entirely different than the
old shows seen so often.
The Paducah Carnival Association
has been very successful in giving
carnivals in Paducah and has quite
a reputation.
Central Labor union also propos-
es to give a carnival this spring but
has not completed arrangements. If
is does the Paducah Travelling Mems
club will not have a carnival next
fall. Mr.. Simon Hecht. treasurer of
the latter, stated that two earniyals,
fall and spring, is all that Paducah
could stand.

work of unprinclpled and unscrupu-
lous immigration agents acting for

foreigner, even, after he has been in
this country for six months. but by
the time he has been here six months
the harm has been done. The immi-
grant is located, and under such con-
ditions generally that he could not
go to the south If he would.
The railroads and the southern
states. Kentucky included, should
maintain an immigration bureau at
New York, and should see that the
facts are presented to the immi-
grants upon their arrival. The south
needs large numbers of immigrants.
especially those from Austria and
the agricultural portions of Italy.

ENEMIES OF THE SOUTH.

A systematic effort is being made
by certain newspapers and many or
CARNATIONS in the north to keep i'm
migrants away from the south, says
the Greensboro Inquirer. An instance
of this kind is taken from a publiea-
ton in the Berl,ngsr Tageblatt, of
Berlin, Germany, in the form of a
special cablegram as follows:
Immigration into the United
States broke the record last year
with 1,027421 persons, Austria
Hungary has the largest number,
then follows Italy, Russia. Great Bril-
tain and Scandinavia. The Morgen

Germans not to emigrate to the
southern states, as they are forced TO
work by revolvers, and are treated
worse than slaves"

such as this are made by various
journals having circulation among
the foreign population. and these pa
