The City of Paradise, as Golden
said, lies between three mountains,
or rather hills of large dimensions,
and is enclosed on three sides. Walls
of rock and shrubbery close up the
gaps not otherwise provided by ma
ture. The largest opening, toward
which they were now journeying, was
inclosed by huge wall, through
which the near base of one of the
mountains, huge gate had been left

isolated appeared the place. No lights
could be seen from the outside and no
sound broke the stiffness of the night.
The roadway was hardly perceptible,
yet Golden without hesitation APP
preached the gate, and knocked with
the head of his revolver upon the
frame work. A wicket appeared open
and through it came the sound of a
voice. who comes here?" was the
challenge. "Friends!" answered Gold
en-.
Advance and give the sign" was
the order.
Golden placed himself in position
before the opening, one foot advanced,
and holding up his right hand, palm
outward, whispered *"
"I?" In shape of half question
was the sentinels ejaculation.
IN" added Golden.
&C." said the sentinel. What does
that stand for?"

New professions pay well, in spite

a man of forty who had abandoned
general law practice to take special
lists position in a technical training
school. I'VE don't hear so much about
the overcrowding of professions as
we used to. The technical training
schools scattered over the land teach
doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects
and editors to divide their work into
separate departments. Salaries for
specialists drawn from all the old pro-
fessions range from $4,000 to 100000
a year. A man who commands more

Due to Two Influences.

This esoteric tendency of the Japa.
nese mind, which has played so con
spicuous and important part in their
past social and political history and in
their recent victories over Russia, Is
due to two influences that for centu-
ries have been running as a united
stream through the minds of the peo-
pie, bearing them on its way.
1t Is undoubtedly, first of all, char
acteristic inherited from China, where

Influenced by Shintoisnn.
second influence under which this
historic inheritance from China has
been developed and employed is ESQ.,
teric Shintoism. The adherent of this
faith believes that the human spirit
never dies, but, under the influence of
the gods, is in constant circulation on
behalf of men. Every Japanese is
open to the influence of these ances-
trail spirits, because, being a son of
Heaven, he is no less holy than his
neighbors. Esoteric ,Shintoism teaches
that the ancestral spirits can be made
to circulate for particular ends, and in
this way the Emperor can make the
infinite myriads of the Unreasonable
past permeate the finit human forces
of to-day.
1t is difficult for us to realize or
even appreciate the apparently super
human courage with which man is
inspired who believes that the infinite
life of the past is pouring itself out
through him for the defense of his an
cestral shores. Depend upon 1T, this
accounts in no small measure for the
unexampled bravery and patriotism of
the Japanese soldier. Let any who
doubt this read the imperial message
to Admiral Togo, where in his Majesty
takes occasion to say, I'VE are glad
that by the loyalty of our officers and
men, we have been able to respond to
the spirits of our ancestors" to which
the Admiral duly replies, THAT we
have gained a success beyond our ex-

also, does this faith tend to perfecting
the Japanese soldier. In that country
the family, not the individual, is the
unit of the nation. He is taught from
childhood to sink his individuality in
his family, and that of his family in
the nation. If you ask nim how old he
is, do not be surprised if he answers
four or five hundred years, meaning
his family; as for himself, he has no
individual existence or age. Japan is
a nation of families, and the whole ma.
ton is one family. In the language oil

Oyster Bay, n. Y, August 19.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt is exerting his great
influence to prevent a rupture of the
peace conference at Portsmouth. He
is engaged in a supreme effort to in
duce the ENJOYS of the belligerent gov
ernments to compromise their differ
ences and reach an agreement that
will result in "a just and lasting
peace
In this effort he has the active and
cordial support of Great Britain,
France and Germany. Tremendous
and world wide pressure is being
brought to bear upon the governments
at st. Petersburg and Toxic not to
permit the conference to fail of affir-
NATIVE result. 1t can be said that
there is ground for the hope that it
will not fail.
8 Baron de Rosen, Russian ambassa-
cor to the United States, and second
Of the Russian Emperor's ENJOYS to
the peace conference, was with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at an hour late this
afternoon at Sycamore Hill. He came
to Oyster Bay by invitation Of the
President, not merely to discuss with
him the situation, but to have present
ed to him by the President a PROPOSE
ton which, it is hoped, may
resolve the differences which have
arisen between the plenipOtentiar-
10 fyr0 re
After his conference with the Presi-
dent, Baron de Rosen left Immediately
for his summer home at Magnolia,
Mass, where he and NJ. Witte, the
principal Russian envoy, expect to
spend Sunday
Neither President Roosevelt nor
Baron de Rosen would discuss, even in
most genial terms, the details or re-
suit of their conference. The ambassa-
dor will present the Presidents propo-
sition to NJ. Witte tonight and the like
lihOOd is that it will be transmitted to
the peace conference. 1t is not improb-
able that before the ENJOYS meet next
Tuesday morning, it may be known
with some degree of definiteness
whether there is to be peace in the far
east or q continuance of the war. The
President has been in communication
with the great neutral powers to en-
list their support. of a final effort to
secure an honorable peace. With King
Edward he communicated, because
Great Britain is a practical ally of ia
pan, and with President Loubet, be-
cause France is the nearest friend of
Russia. Germany, too, was appealed
to and EmDeror William is eXterting
his influence for peace.
Through Mr.. Griscom, the American
minister at Toxic. the President also
has been working, but it cannot be
ascertained whether his efforts have
been directed toward a reduction OF
the demands of Japan or not 1t is
surmised, however. that he has urged
the Japanese government so TO modify
its terms as to render it easier for
Russia to accede to them.

Newport, Il. l., August i9.-Vinson
Walsh, son Of Thomas +. Walsh
Of Washington, was killed, and
four other prominent young members
of the Newport Summer Colony were
injured in automobile accident here
this afternoon. The injured include
Mrs. James L. kernochan, Of Hemp
stead, L. l.; Harry Oelrichs, son OF
Charles NJ Oelrichs, of Newport and
New York, Herbert Pell, Jr., son of
Herbert Pell Of New York, and Miss
Evelyn Walsh, sister OF the man who
was killed. 1t is believed that the in-
jured will recover.
The automobile which was driven by
Young Walsh, struck the railing of
bridge spanning n creek near Eastern
Point, and plunged into the water.
Whether Walsh lost control of it, or the
machine became disabled has not been
ascertained.
The accident was witnessed by other
automobilists who succeeding in rescu-
ing the five occupants of the Walsh
machine, not, however, without great
difficulty, due TO the fact that all the
members Of the party were lying be-
meath the heavy car. The water in the
creek was not deep, and to this cir
cumstance is due, in part, the rescue.
Walsh who was about IS years old

after taken from the water. 1t was
learned later that as the automobile
crashed over the bridge, mis- head came
in contact with an iron beam.
The occupants Of the car were on
their way to attend a luncheon given
at the Clam Bake Club near Eastern
Point by Mrs. Clement G. Moore. The
accident happened when the car,
forty horse power vehicle, was speed
ing rapidly down hill. Other young
people who were following the Walsh
machine, suddenly were Mortified to see
the automobile in front Of them swerve
and disappear over the creek bridge.
In it's swift flight the big car tore an
opening through the heavy bridge rail-
ing and then was precipitated into the
creek, capsiZing i'm its passage and i'm
prisoning in its wreckage every one Of
its occupants.
In moment friends were rushing
into the water to the rescue. The pom
derous weight Of the machine made
this difficult and the injured young
people We're in danger of drowning.
Quick and effective work was done.
Mr.. Walsh was unconscious when
taken out of the water and died before
medical assistance could reach him.
His sister was found To be badly
bruised and an examination showed
that her right leg was fractured. Mr..
Oelrichs was also severely bruised and
Mr. Pelrs injuries were of a similar
nature. Mrs. Kernochan was cut and
sustained contusions about the body.
The injured were treated temporarily
at nearby cottages. Physicians stated
that all would probably recover.
The accident, which was the worst
that has ever occurred in Newport I'm

general grief among the cottagers.
All the young people were among the
most prominent summer residents here.
