HE TAUGHT KOMURA
The Rev. e. Warren Clark Was tn. Dip.
Iomatist's Instructor 80 Years Ago.

portsmouth IN. H) Letter to Boston
Herald.
Among those to greet M. de White after
the service in Christ church Sunday morn
ing was former instructor Of Baron
Komura and Mr. Takahira in the Imperial
university of Toxic, the Rev. E. Warren
Clark, now of the Episcopal diocese of
Rhode Island and nephew of Bishop
Clark.
Mr.. Clark Is now visiting Portsmouth
as guest of Mrs. Helen G. Knight Since
coming here he has been anxious to meet
his old pupils and expects to have that
pleasure some time during the week. He
speaks Japanese f1uently, altho it Is thirty
years since he left Japan.
I'M. de Witte would probably be sur
prised,' he said after the service" to
learn that I was one of the first persons
to teach the japanese the use of high
explosives. From 1871 to 1875 I was pro-
fessor of chemistry and high explosives
in the Imperial university at Toxic. AT
that time Baron Komura was a member

or school of civilization. remember him
distinctly as little fellow who used to
occupy an end seat, and was one of the
best students. When he passed in car
rage a few days ago / recognized him I'M
mediately. He has changed much In ap-
pearance since I used to see him daily
| in the class.
| Another instructor Of Baron Komura
at that time was E. II. House, now OF
New York. DR.. Griffis was a member OF
the English speaking colony at that time
| and wrote his book, The Mikado's En-
pre- in my house.
IT was very much interested In the
Russian party Sunday morning, because
the Episcopal service is very different
from that of the Greek church which the
Russians attend. M. de White seemed to
think his party was about to be sur
rounded when the surpliced choir came In,
and 1 noticed he watched very closely,
| while Baron Rosen never turned his eyes
| from the altar. The collection was also
something new for them apparently, ano
sitting in the front pews was little en-
| barra ssing for several members of the
party. 1t was one of the most interesting
experiences have had in an Episcopal
church

He dragged her to the side of the high
way and rested her head on his shak~
ing knees. Things grew dark for time.
To tell the truth. he himself was very
close to that. feminine weakness which
the old fellows, in their rough and
ready plays, used to call "vapours.. -
But he forced his heart to steady itself:
And what do you suppose the rascal
did-with nobody but Dick to watch
him9 Why, he did what any healthy
young man in love would have done:
pressed his lips to the girls hair, his
eyes filling and half q sob in his
parched throat. He dolefully pictured
himself modern Antiochus, diving of
love and never confessing it. Then he
kissed her hair again; only her hair, for
somehow he felt her lips and checks
were as yet inviolable to his touch. /

From the Valdez News, March IS.
 Reports were received on the Dora of what is believed to be rich placer strike on Raspberry island near Kodiak. The new find is beach diggings, and excitement is running high among the people on Kodiak and Afognak island. There are at present about seventy men at the diggings, and with the most crude appliances they are taking out from S4 to SIS per day. One man who returned to Kodiak for supplies and tools spent five days at the diggings and took out S75. Many natives are rocking on the beach, and though they know little or nothing about placer mining they are taking out from B to $ per day.
 Raspberry island is small strip of land lying between Kodiak island and Afognak island at the west end of the straits separating the two. As the strike was made but recently. it's extent and rich ness has not been fully determined. but further information will proba. bly be received ou the next steamer from the west.
