ONE RECENTLY TRANSPORTED
FROM JAPAN.
Interesting Oriental Place of Worship
Said to Be the Only One in Amer
ica-Has Been Placed in Phil
adelphia Park

Philadelphia.-In this free land the
anything or nothing without causing
comment. But we have not yet grown
accustomed to the worship Of Bud
dha, and the sight of Japanese appeal
ing to the gods of their island home is
one to cause national craning of
necks. The shrine that Is the mecca
for pious orientals is temple recent
1y set up by Japanese workmen in a
shady corner of Fairmount park, Phil
adelphia. 1t was never intended as
place Of worship, but was set up mere
~ as curiosity for American visitors
TO the park. Just as pious Americans
in a foreign land, however, would
avail themselves Of the privilege of
praying and medtating in a Christian
church, so Japs who live in Philadel-
phia or who go there on foreign ships,
seek the favor of their own gods in the
quaint retreat just erected in Fair
mount park
The temple is said to be the only
one outside of Japan. The Japs are
indebted to John II. Converse and
Samuel M. Vauclain for the privilege
of worshipping Buddha in foreign
land. Once within the sacred portals
Buddhists might imagine themselves
back in the land of the lotus. Wide
eyed and gentle Iisaged goddesses
await the coming of the believer,
wonderfully carved symbols adorn the
affairs, mother of pearl incense bowls
are at hand for the faithful and Bud
dhist deities in various poses invite
a continuance of the homage to which
they were accustomed in the land of
their origin. 1t is very interesting,
very oriental and ancient enough to
satisfy the most eXacting lover of the
antique. The temple was built more
than 800 years ago at the village of
Furimachi, province of Hadachi, ia
pan, by Lord Satake Giobu-no-Tayu, of
the noble Satake family, in memory of
his father, and for the peaceful rest Of
his departed soul. 1t is two stories
high and resembles an Indian pagoda
in its architecture. There is an out
side balcony on the second story en-
circling the structure, which Is As

depth. Its roof is tiled, as are all
Buddhist temples, in distinction from

about are the curious cymbals, gongs,
bells and drums which are used in the
religious ceremonies. On the wall
hangs a picture Of the Buddhist para
disc, painted on silk. Eternal Buddba
is seen in one corner. The mural
paintings are by the best artists of the
time, and the design is different in
each panel.
Among the regular visitors to the
temple are members of the Japanese
colony at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. One student, a devout wor.
shipper of Buddha, is almost a daily
visitor to the shrine in the park. He
is always alone, and is very careful to
see that no hooking freshman or soph-
omore follows him to the scene of his
devotion. Only the flesh and blood
guardians of the temple and Brahma,
the ferce-looking image who eternal
ly scowls at the visitors, see the little
student burn incense to the gods OF
his homeland.

cordially indorsed also by the senators

MED BY her four children, went west
and located in Austin, MINI. While
there Clark obtained employment as
brakeman on q western railroad and

usual trials and hardships incident to
the life of brakeman, freight and
passenger conductor, when he re-
signed active railroading to enter the
service Of the Order Of Railway Con-
ductors of America. He was elected
to the position of grand senior con-
ductor by the grand division, which
met at Denver. One year afterwards
he became grand chief conductor
which position he has now held for 16
years to the great dignity and credit Of
the order and himself.

There is nothing too small or of too

The Santa Fe is organizing a reg

against boarding and those night
trains on which yeggs find their way
are met by officers, who place the
men under arrest for evading railway
