MatSul Coal Mines.

An interesting branch of the establish
ment is the mining department. In this
are shown samples of the coal, sulphur,
copper, silver and other ores being mined
by this great corporation. There are also
models of the machinery used in the mines,
showing how each of the larger properties
or machinery for haTlage, ventilation and
drainage and that everything is done to
protect the lives Of the miners and to main
tain a uniform output at the lowest ex-
pense. / saw models of some Of the Mitsui
coal mines near Nagasaki. They are known
as the Mike mines, and are one Of the
largest of such enterprises in the world.
There are now six different workings, and
the annual production is over 100000 tons.
The mines have an area of 1900 acres, and
the coal veins average about eight feet in
thickness. This coal is bituminous and is
used for cooking. 1t is regarded as a
standard coal in the Asiatic markets. An
other Mitsui property is the Tegawa coal
mines, which produce the best steam coal
of Japan, and largely supply the navy and
coal, noted for its easy firing and it's high
eVaporating power. In addition to these
coal mines the Mitsuis have silver and
lead properties, which are turning out con-
siderable ore, and they have two large sui
phur mines.

In a Big japanese Bank.

No one can go through the big banking
institutions of Toxic without being
assured Of the material prosperity and the
great resources of this country. The
building of the Mitsui Bussan Kiasha is
surrounded by structures which would NOT
seem out OF place in New York or Chicago.
The Bank of Japan, an enormous build
ing OF gray granite, is just over the way.
The Yokohama Specia bank is next door,
and all about are other large modern
buildings. The Mitsui building is of four
stores built arond the three sides of a
court, covering more than an acre. 1t is
of red brick and white stone and its in
terror is furnished like one of the best
office buildings of the United States.
There are wide halls, big rooms, many
windows and an abundance OF electric
lights. Elevators take one from story
to story, and there are parlors for the
directors and all modern conveniences
The main room of the bank is larger than
that of any bank in Washington and is
as we'll furnished as that OF any in New
York. AS l stood in the gallery and
looked down upon the scores of clerks
working away 1 was impressed with the
enormous business being done. Money
was coming in and going out and l could

and his nurse. Day and night she was
constantly by his bedside at the Jewish
hospital and had a room adjoining his, in
order that she might be near to comfort him.
With that premonition common to those
in the shadow of death, relates the Phila-
delphia Ledger. Wike felt that the end
was near, and a week ago he asked to be
taken from the institution to a house or
home, so that they might be married amid
more happy surroundings. Apartments
were engaged at the North Twenty-first
street house and there Mrs. Kugel resumed
her duty as nurse. Early Saturday morn
ing Wike felt that he could not last
throughout the day and earnestly urged his
fiancee that they be married at once, so
that he might die happy In the thought
that he had married the woman he loved.
Mrs. Kugel summoned DR.. Herbert NJ
Goddard of 1888 Spruce street, who attended
Wike throughout his illness. The physician
saw at a glance that the patients condi-
tion. was extremely critical and agreed that
it would be well that his last wish be
gratified. Jumping into an automobile, DR..
Goddard vent to the home of Rev. DR.. s.

odist church, and brought him quickly to

cense bureau and Clerk Goebel obtained a
carriage and rode with all possible haste
to the Twenty-first street house.
Wike was propped up in the bed with
pillows and seemed happy In thought that
he could wed the faithful woman who had
made sacrifices for him.
Before DR.. Vernon reached the house he
was fully acquainted with the love story
Of the devoted couple and realized that it
was only a humane act to grant the wish
OF the dying man.
Clerk Goebel arrived shortly before noon
and asked the usual formal questions,
which Wike answered, showing that he was
fully aware OF his actions. The minister
also questioned the prospective bridegroom,
and was convinced by his answers that he
was absolutely conscious OF the step he
was about TO take.
The bridegroom seemed to gain strength
during the afternoon and Mrs. Wike hoped
against hope that his condition might
change for the better. She sat by his bed
side all afternoon. comforting him as best
she knew. But at 8 o'clock there came a
change, and she noticed that her husband
was sinking rapidly. She again summoned
DR.. Goddard, and he saw then thai It was
the last struggle. At $50 the newly made
bridegroom passed away. clasping the

steadily grew. and it covered a large area,
about one-half of which is now occupied
by the Mitsui Gofukuten, as the store Is
called today.
The Mitsuis in the past started the cash
business in Japan, and this new store has
fixed prices marked on the goods. 1t has
cash carriers to take the money from one
part of the store to the other and also a
big mail order department, through which
goods are sent to all parts of the empire
and collections are made through the post
offices. 1t has automobiles to deliver it's
goods through the city, elegant dining
rooms and resting rooms for its customers
and special exhibitions of new goods, which
bring out fashionable society. 1t has a
Photographic department, a picture gallery,
ladies' dressmaking and tailoring establish
ments and in fact almost everything found
in the best department stores in the
United States. The building is of three
stories with wide plate-glass windows and
a spacious entrance hall. In the center Of
it are two courts rooted with glass, SO
%curtained that just the right light can be
admitted whether the day be brigh or
dark. In these courts are fountains, in the
basins of which goldfish swim and about
which are palms rising high into the air.

Shopping in Ones Stocking Feet.
This big store with its vast quantities
of new goods of all kinds. is supported
by the Japanese, although 1t has it's de-
partments intended for foreigners. There
are about 100000 people in Toxic alone,
and the country around is more thickly
populated than any part of the United
States. The store is so beautiful that no
one would think of entering 1t with muddy
shoes, and the Japanese men and women
all check their shoes and umbrellas at the
door. / came out of a jinriksha and one
of the clerks drew over my shoes a pair
of soft cloth slippers and 1t was in them
that 1 walked through. The mating is as
white as a tablecloth and there is not a
spot of dirt anywhere to be seen. The store
was full Of japanese women and girls
looking over goods and going through the
other operations Of shopping just as our
women do in the United States. Some were
examining the magnificent obs or wide
belts, which form the most decorative part
of the apanese costume; others were
looking up stuff for kimonos and others
buying shoes, jewelry, pictures, and, in
fact, everything under the sun. Some of
the shoes are beautifully laccuered and 1
saw a single obs which will sell for $500.
Think of a belt for your dress which might
cost you 800 or more, and you have an
idea of a possible extravaganza of the Jap
anese women.

new Japan. When the emperor was brought
ent era of western civilization began the
Mitsuis furnished most Of the money to
finance the new government. They prac-
tically enabled Japan to bridge over the
great crisis which then threatened the en-
pire both from within and without, and
their service was so valuable that Baron
Hachiroemon Mitsui, the present head Of
the house, was made a peer and all the
other partners were given titles in acknowl-
edgment of it. The house today stands
very close to the government, and it has
great influence in financial matters.
This combination OF the Mitsuis has now
lasted for about 200 years. The family has
been In business longer than that, its an
cestry dating back to a feudal lord who
lived at the time of Christopher Columbus.
1t was somewhere along during the DAYS
Takatashi, a descendant of this lord, began
to engage in trade. He opened a store in
Kyoto and established a dry goods business
here in Toxic. He sold for cash and also
organized a system for the collection and
remittance of money, and it was his son
who wrote out the family rules which have
made the fortunes of the house. He also
this first organization five brothers en-
gagged to work with their collective capital,
and this system has continued down to the
eleven branches or partners which consti-
tutes the house of today.

in sight. The business were now less re.
garded and the government went on with
its expenditures, not doubling it could get
all the money it needed. Then a loan was
proposed for the ManChurian railroads. To
the surprise of the government 1t was only
half taken. There seemed TO be but little
demand for those bonds in London or New
York, and the officials were at a loss what
to do. In the meantime the representatives
of the large banking institutions of Paris,
London and New York had come here to
Toxic TO investigate matters for them
selves. They were not satisfied with figures
and stimates alone. They wanted to look
at the books and to know just what the
resources of the government were and
whether 1t could, beyond doubt, meet all
its obligations when they became due. They
wanted to know whether 1t was advisable
for them to invest in new bonds, and, like
the man from Missouri they had to be
shown.
1t was In connection with their report
that Japan found difficulty in placing fur
Their loans, and on this account the finan:
ciers who represent the live, up-to-date
banking and industrial interests Of today
have taken a hand with the government in
putting Japan on a solid financial basis.
This policy has already been inaugurated
and through the advice Of such men as
the Mitsuis. it will be carried out to a
successful conclusion.

they have erected a handsome and sub

difficult to improve upon in the matter of

The dedicatory exercises were In the ma
