A GIFT FROM JAPAN.
PUBLIC GARDEN LIGHTHOUSE
ERECTED IN BOSTON.
Odd Lantern Is Of Great Historical
Interest-Made for Famous EN-
perOr Hideyoshi Over 800
Years Ago.

Extraordinarily there has been
erected on the edge of the pond of
the public garden just above the bridge
on the north toward Beacon street,
and opposite the hrtle island, what
appears at first 10 be a curiously orna-
mented lighthouse.
In point of fact 1t is in a sense a
lighthouse for just such a place. 1t is
the kind of lighthouse the Japanese
have had in their public and private
gardens from time immemorial, known
as garden lanterns.
This particular garden lantern lis a
unique and historically interesting
specimen. 1t came from the Famous
Momoya palace garden in the suburbs
of Kioto and is more than 300 years
old.
1t is of cast iron and consistg OF a
circular base about a foot in height,
from which rises a, column about four
feet on which the drumlike and high
ly ornamented light section OF thellan-
tern rests. With the circular brick
base on which it has been placed, the
lantern rises some IA feet above the
path al the edge of the pond. The
windows of the drum section are Or
namented with a tracery design In
which foliage, animals and birds are
combined in curious manner. Next
comes a relief lotus flower. Thehead
of the column is also decorated with
a relief ornamentation, as is the body
of the column and the metal base. The
feeling of top-heaviness is lost in the
open-work design at The top, through
which the light filters.
The lantern is one of the Oldest OF
its kind in existence. Most of the
garden lanterns are made of stone, and
few of them are ever made as large as
this specimen or in just this kind OF
design; they usually take the temples
pagoda form.
This lantern was made for the ia
nous Japanese emperor, Hideyoshi,

about 1880, and was placed in the gar
dens of his great Moyoma palace, of
which not a vestige now stands. Even
its stones have been carried to every
corner of the empire and are treas
ured as souvenirs, which may give
some idea of the kind of prize which
Boston has secured.
The emperor, Hideyoshi, is a great
figure in Japanese history-a sort of
Caesar or Napoleon.
He rose from humble origin at a
time when Japan was rent and torn
with civil wars and petty strifes. He
was a great soldier, and eventually,
with his invincible armies, he solidi-
fed the empire, codified the laws and
perfected the feudal system which ex.
listed in Japan to within the middle OF
the last century. He might very well
be compared to Charlemagne. He was
a patron of the fine arts, and through
his influence both the arts and the
crafts were encouraged everywhere in
the empire.
This lantern was secured by Bunkio
Matsuki, and through him, in behalf Of
all the Japanese in Boston, was pre-
scented. to the city as a token of ap-
probation of the good will which Bos-
ton has always maintained toward
Japan.
The late Mayor Collins accepted the
gift, subject to the approval of the art
commission, which body was only too
glad to receive it and provide for it
the present Appropriate site, where II
will serve to guide the mariners" on
the public garden pond, whether In
swan boats or rowboats, during all
the summer evenings of the future.

keith q proctor,s 1o5th Street.

Mrs. Fiske's earlier success, ''In
Spite of ALL" which was written es-
pecially for her by Bronson Howard,
will be produced by the popular
stock company at Keith & Proctor's
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
theatre on August 81. This is the
most powerful of any drama with
the exception of 1.-The Bankers
Daughter" that Bronson Howard ev-
er wrote and 1t scored an artistic tri-
umph for Mrs. Fiske, when she first
produced it in New York about fif-
teen years ago. 1t has only recently
been available for stock company
purposes, and General Manager AL
bee seized the first opportunity to
place it before his audiences in Har-
lem. 1t has been carefully prepared
in the way of a special scenic envir-
onment and all new handsome Access
series and properties, and the cast
arranged by Stage Director Barry
O'Neil includes these popular favor
ties. Miss Eva Taylor as Alice Glen
denning; Lawrence Grattan as Car

Bessie; William Norton as Kraft;

These are the only Keith & Proc
tor houses yet unopened for the sea-
son, although the definite announce
ment is now made that the Fifty
eighth street theatre will be thrown
open on Monday, September 8, Cab
or Day), with a gala holiday bill of
the biggest vaudeville acts ever offer
ed in that house. All summer a host
of artisans and decorators have been
at work Transforming the interior of
this spacious playhouse into an aud ,
itorium of such opulent magnificence
that it will amaze entire theatre-go-
ing community of New York. Gener-
al Manager Albee is confident that no
handsomer theatre will be found in
the city when the doors are opened
September 8. 1t is understood that
money has been spent with an utter
disregard in the effort to make the
interior of the Fifty-eighth street the
most lavishly decorated and adorned
in New York town.

that struggle have been celebrated in
bronze, this trio are the only mes Sc
lected to be represented on horseback.
Andrew Jackson, general during the
war Of 1912 and afterward president,
is the sole representative of the Sec
ond contest with Great Britain. His
statues, of which There are three alike,
are chiefly remarkable for the eccen-
tricity they display in the manner in
which the horse, which is forced to
maintain a most unequine position, re-
tains its balance.
Gen. Winfield Scott and Gen. Will
liam Henry Harrison are the two men
chosen out of the war with Mexico for
equestrian statue honors, although 1t
is possible that Cincinnati may have
been actuated in erecting Harrison's
statue because he was an Ohioan and
president.
When the dust of the civil wal had
settled, these men we're selected to be
kept alive by statuary in which they
are pictured on horseback: Gems.
Grant, Logan, Sherman, Sheridan, w.
s. Hancock, Reynolds, Mcclellan,
Meade, Slocum, Thomas, Mcpherson,
Burnside, Fitz John Porter. Shaw,
Hooker, Meagher, Shipper. Hartranft.
Albert Sidney johnson, Forrest and
Robert E. Lee.
After Washington, with his seven
statues, the position of honor is divid-
ed between Gems. Jackson and Grant,
with three each, and the lead is soon
to be taken by the latter when the new
work in his honor is put In place in
Washington. Then come those men
who have two to their credit, and in
this class are to be found Gems. Sher-
man, Mcclellan, Hancock, Slocum,
Reynolds, Meade and John A. Logan.
The others must rest content with
only one.
George III. was the first Individual
to be commemorated on horseback in
metal on the shores Of the new world
His honor was short lived. however,
for In July. 1776, the patriots moved
by the unitarian need Of bullets as
we'll as abstract patriotism, de-
stroyed the statue. Jackson was the
first American to be SO honored, al.
though Washington was a close Sec

Spider Lives on Light.

Little Miss Muffet's spider was per.
haps not so hungry as he looked. M
). H. Fabre has studied the spiders
powers of fasting. He noticed that
the mother spider carries It's little
ones on its back for seven months, and
that during that time the young spid-
srs consume absolutely no food. He
concluded from this observation that
it is the solar heat and light that for
them directly take the place Of nour.
ishment. In other words. the motor
heat in these young animals, instead
of being released from the food, might
be utilized directly rs the sun, source

Oklahoma City, Nov. 30.-Before one
Of the largest crowds OF football en-
thusiasts which ever witnessed foot
ball game on an Oklahoma gridlron,
the fast teams Of the Washburn college
and Oklahoma university battled for
an hour with the game finally resulting
in q score of to O. The game was
played on field of mud which made II
utterly impossible for either side to
execute their plays with any degree OF
certainty. Time and time again plays
which ordinarily would have resulted in
toucndoWns were Oalled UP by the play
ers slipping and falling on the mud
The Oklahoma team outweighed the
Washburn men about five pounds to the
man. Washburn. however, put up a
brilliant game and with the field in
any sort of decent shape would pro-

showed great team work with the col
legians from the Kansas capital hav-
ing decided advantage. Washburn
also worked off more trick plays than
did the Sooners and were very success

Honors in hitting the line were about

a fast game and were the only ones of
the SoOners who were deserving of
special mention. Acton, the right half
back of the Oklahoma team was the
star Of his team At several different
stages Of the game when matters were
looking very disheartening for the
SOOners he would reel off an end run
of from 10 to 20 yards and restore the
confidence and ginger of his men. Sew
erin was a close second in the work OF
the Sooners. He ran the ends for sub
stantial gains and put up a splendid
interference for the man who carried
the ball. In line bucking Truesdale was
the star performer of the Sooners. Sew
eral times he broke into the limelight
for good gains through the Washburn
line which was rather weaker than US
ual in charging on account Of the slip
perry field. Cross directed the team in

For Washburn, the honors for the
best work go to Captain Wister Will
Jams, who played a great game. In re-
