OLD CITY FASC|NATES
ANCIENT CAPITAL OF JAPAN
CHARMS VISITORS.
Nara Also Commands Attention Of
Tourists Still Regarded as Holy
Place Of Pilgrimage Famous
Rapids Delight Sightseers.

There are many charming expeditions
In the neighborhood of Kyoto, the old
capital Of japan, and one of the most
fascinating is the ancient city Of Nara,
still holy place of pilgrimage.
The railway between the two places
runs through the famous tea plantations
of Uji, where whole hillsides are COW
cred with low, thick bushes, most Of
them carefully protected from the sun
by matted awnings. Here the finest
japanese teas are grown and prepared,
only the youngest leaves or buds being
nipped off by the pickers for use; and
these choice teas are not exported, but
are consumed by the court circles and
rich Japanese. All this is, SO to speak,
garden cultivation, for each family
works independently in quite a small
way, more japonica, and there are no
large firing or selling establishments,
as in Assam and Ceylon.
At Nara one wanders between lines Of
moss-covered stone-lanterns, along a
grand old avenue of tall, needle-like
cryptomerias, up to the temple of Kas-
uga where the young Shfnto priestesses
perform with slow gliding movements
the sacred Kagura dance, to music pro-
vided by an orchestra Of three priests
with drums and flute. Then after feed
ing the tame deer that roam about the
temple grounds, and visiting several
other Shinto shrines and Buddhist tenn
ples-not forgetting the Daibutsu, or
Great Image of Buddha-53 feet high
one finally picnics out in lovely park
amidst ideal surroundings, seated under
a trellis of wistarla, whose giant fes-
toons four feet in length hang from
above, while wild azaleas of every con-
ceivable color are massed in front.
The Japanese, by the way, have named
wistaria full or peerless" after their
sacred mountain, and they train 1t over
bamboo 80 that 1t forms roof or can
opy. Sometimes an open-air teahouse
consists of nothing but frame, with
purple or wsfee wistaria growing over
it; and visitors marvel greatly that Eng
fish gardeners do not treat wistaria in
the same way when erecting arbors, for
it is economical as well as ornamental,
and as all know "a thing Of beauty is a
Joy for ever!"
Another delightful day may be spent
In shooting the famous rapids of the
Katsuragawa, an exciting experience
after heavy rains. The boats take about
an hour and half to make the descent
Of 10 miles. and the scenery throughout
the passage is charming, the river rush
ing between numerous rocks and islets,
with precipitous wooded hills rising abb
ruptly on either side, bright in May
with scarlet azaleas, wistaria and the
beautiful iris japonica. These fiat-bot-
toned boats are called ''squeezers," be-
cause their thin, elastic boards bend
with every motion Of the water, and
give" when they meet sunken rock;
and they are guided by boatmen with

The stock market has had the as
sistance this week Of two distinctly
favorable news developments, namely,
the governments monthly crop report,
which may for all practical purposes
be regarded the harvest statement:
and the definite engagement in Lon
don of considerable amount of gold
for shipment to this center, saws
Banker Clews. The governments
figures justify an increase of some
thing like 20,000,0O0 bushels to the al
ready Recommending August indica-
ton Of corn: while the measure Of the
August deterioration in spring wheat
is shown to have been below 100000
bushels. On the basis of the govern
ment's figures of condition and area
the harvest promise of corn is figured
by the trade statisticians at 2,71691S,-
900 bushels and of wheat 704, All 900
bushels. The former volume has new
er been exceeded and the latter but
once, namely, by the $780, 600 bush
els representing the 1901 harvest. The
1904 wheat harvest was but 552,4 AGO.
600 bushels. 1t cannot be said that
the showing In wheat was unexpected
but the increase in corn renewed, mo-
mentarily at least, quite a degree of
enthusiasm; and in connection with
the gold engagement already noted.
Influenced free covering of contracts
by professionals and others having
outstanding short commitments. The
bull pool leaders took advantage of
this situation to rally prices but once
more failed to attract outside buying;
and during the closing days of the
week the market showed evidence of
disposition by the cliques to protect
prices even at the risk of adding some
what to their present large accumu-
lations.

the walters pretty busy. The flavor

The patent medicine men, it's said,
have a hard row to hoe, for the post
office department, the department Of
agriculture and congress are all after
them hot foot, says a Washington
correspondent. Several magazines and
periodicals, particularly Golfers and
the Ladies Home Journel, are devoting
much space to informing the public
as TO the composition Of patent medi-
cines as determined by analyses, in an
effort to show the majority consist
largely Of alcohol and water. The
postOffiee department under the blank
ct authority to prevent the use Of the
United States mails to defraud. has
taken the position that if a medicine
is advertised TO cure catarrh or kid
ney trouble, It must contain something
that Is recognized by materia medica
as likely to be more or less effective In
such cases. and must not depend sole
" on advertisements and n large Der
centage of alcohol. The department
Of agriculture. which has gradually
assumed Jurisdiction over all foods
and drinks, is also interested along
these lines and advocates a pure food
bill requiring all patent medicines to
be branded with their formula. Con-
gress is thinking along the same lines
and is strongly considering the adj
visibility Of taxing these medicines.
Such a tax would not be imposed. az
some enormously believe. on the al
cohol in them, for all alcohol. whether
Il Is in whiskey or patent medicines,
Is already taxed to the limit. but
would be imposed on the medicines
as such. on the ground that saloon
keeper pays taxes to the city. state
and United States for the privilege Of
selling vhiskey under close supervis-
ion and onerous restrictions. while the
vendor Of patent medicines plies his
trade night and day untaxel

SEVEN DEAD IN FACTORY,
Fire Follows Explosion In Plant Of
Connecticut Fuse Company,


AVON, Conn, Sept. 16.-The explo-
sion of fuse, followed by fire in a
building of the Climax Fuse company
here, caused panic among twenty
employees in the building and resulted
in the death of seven and injuries that
doubtless will prove fatal to several
others.
There was no way of coping with the
flames, which soon spread rapidly, and
in less than an hour after the explo-
sion occurred those who were unable to
escape were In the clutches of a fire
that eventually burned their bodies to
ashes.
The exact cause Of the accident
which caused the loss of seven lives
may never be known, but it is the ac-
cepted theory here that in an effort to
burn out a stoppage in one of the
machines James Joyce caused an ex-
plosion Of fuse with the hot iron he
held in his hand. Those who were in
the room where the explosion occurred
and who came out of the place in a
condition to tell about it say that the
explosion was not severe one and
ordinarily would not have caused a
panic. Infiammable material near by,
however, was set on fire, and In few
moments the room was a mass Of
flames. In an instant there was mad
rush for the doors and windows, and
during the scramble many were pushed
back into the building while others
were severely burned. The explosion
took place on the ground floor Of the
older building in the factory group in
the finishing room, and about twenty
persons were employed there.
