ored, which gives entrance to an
enormous courtyard in which is stu
ated the Tai-Kyoku Den.
We arrived at Kyoto the afternoon
before the procession was to take
place, and our first visit was to the
memorial building, which is the ter
minus to which the procession
marches after it has passed through
the main streets of the city. After in
specting it, and being given details of
its history, we were taken to another
building close at hand where a most
interesting sight was witnessed. The
building was the training-hall of the
Butoku Kwai-which means, we sup
pose, 1.-The Military Virtues Society,".
This society was organized in 1895
and is represented throughout the en-
pire. Today it numbers over 100000
members. Its purpose seems to be
the development Of military virtues,
of bravery, of skill in defense and at
tack. In this great hall scores of per-
sons daily engage in the practise of
fencing and of jiu-jitsu. When we
entered, we found the exercise in full
swing. Half the hall was devoted to
fencing, the other half to jiu-jitsu.
We were warned as we entered the
building that no photographing would
be allowed, but that we were well
come to witness the performance.
The thing which first impressed us
was the fact that a sprinkling of the
combatants actively engaged in
fencing and in jiu-jitsu were mere
children eight or ten years old No
one who has not seen the exercise
can imagine the vigor and aggressive
ness Of Japanese fencing. The COM
batants are carefully guarded against
injury by heavy protective coverings
on the head and over the face, the
chest, the arms and upper legs. The
weapons used in fencing are like club
swords or wooden stats, and not only
thrusts but strokes of the most vio-
lent nature are given in the exercise.

AT KYOTO

Tokyo.-We have been to Kyoto.
The world over, age gives respecta-
bility, and Kyoto rejoices in the re-
spectability of age. Today she is
city of secondary Importance, but her
past was magnificent Of course she
considers Tokyo a mushroom. The
present capital of the Japanese en-
Dire was a mere fishing village until
1903, when the great Iyeyasu made 1t
the Shogunate capital Through its
early history it was known as Yedo
In our childhood, we all heard of the
marvellous city of Yedo; no doubt
many of us have wondered that it no
longer attracts attention, ignorant of
the fact that it is the present city OF
Tokyo. 1t was the Shogun's capital
from 1903 until 1868. During all that
time Japan had two capitals. the old
Mikados capital of Kyoto and the
new Shogun's capital of Yedo. Since
1868, with the restoration OF the
Mikado to actual power, the seat OF
his government has been shifted and
today Kyoto lives upon its past glory.
In 1895 Kyoto celebrated its eleven
hundredth anniversary by building a
curious and striking building which is
commonly known as the Tai-Kyoku
Den. 1t was intended to reproduce
the architecture of the time when the
city itself was founded. At that
time Japan was notably under Chinese
influence. and the whole architecture
and style of the edif1ce emphasizes
that fact There is grand and mas.

The noise made is astonishing, but
more astonishing yet is the vigor Of
attack. Children were pitted against
grown men in many cases, although
1t is clear that the older combatants
in sfch pairing are not, expected to
use their powers to the utmost. At
the same time, they do not play with
their small antagonists. who in many
cases make onslaughts of such vigor
and force that skillful guarding is
necessary for protection against it.
Less noisy than the fencing is the jiu-
jitsu. Here too. in many cases children
OF eight or ten are pitted against we'll
known men. Every reader knows
that jiu-jitsu is form of wrestling
in which yielding on the part of the
attacked defeats the exerted strength
and power of the assailant The
more an enemy exerts himself the
worse for him. 1t is astonishing to
see some of the results, especially
in cases where a child of eight years
seemed to throw and exhaust a man
of developed power.
The fact that photographing was
not allowed is part of the general pol
icy of the imperial government. Pri-
vate fencing can be witnessed any
where without restriction. Teachers
of fencing and jiu-jitsu abound and
anyone may learn both arts If he will
give the time and money necessary.
But the fencing and jiu-jitsu of the
Butoku Kwai is in a sense part of the
governmental military preparation. 1t
has certainly an actual value in train

CHAIRMAN Murray Vandiver,
of the Democratic State Central
Committee, has issued a call
for a meeting of the Committee
to be held at the Eutaw House,
on May 26th. The Committee
will set the date for the Con-
gressional primaries and con-
ventions, and the meeting will
mark the opening of the Con-
gressional campaign. Before
the Committee meets Attorney
General Isaac Lobe Straus will
give an opinion as to whether
or not the Congressional nomi-
nations must be made under
the provisions of the new Lee
primary law or under the con-
troll of the State Central Com
mittee. Mr.. Straus will also
give his opinion on many other
provisions of the law. Senator
Lee, of Montgomery County,
the authors of the law, does not
believe that the law applies
to Congressional nominations.
The meeting. it is believed, will
be Largely attended, both by
city and county Democrats.
Congressional candidates will
be present in large numbers,
looking out for their booms.
A number of leading Demo-
Gratis, including United States
Senators John Walter Smith
and Isidor Rayner, Governor
Crothers, former Governor
Frank Brown, Congressman j.
+. G. Talbot, John Gill and j.
Harry Covington, State Sena-

Public Local Laws.

On the first page of the MES
sENGER today will be found the
general laws for Worcester
County, passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, and
published by order of the Board
of County Commissioners, so
that the people will be made
aware of the laws enacted for
their county, and thus make
known their rights and privi-
leges. You should read over
these laws carefully and note
the privileges they convey as
well as the restrictions placed
upon your acts.
1t is necessary to make laws
for the preservation and pro-
lection of the things that a
beneficent Providence has given
us, for many men are SO waste
ful that they heed not the re-
quirements of posterity, think
ing only of themselves.
One of the Acts of Assembly
regulates the catching of oys-
tiers: another is for the protec-
ton of muskrat and otter an
other prohibits non-residents
taking clans and terrapin from
Sinepuxent Bay unless they
comply with certain provisions
of the law. Another places the
Aims House and its affairs in
the hands of the County Com
missioners. Another provides
for the maintenance of POGO
moke Bridge by Worcester and
Somerset Counties. Another
changes the May term of Court
to March.
All of these laws are of vital
interest to our people and the
Commissioners are to be COM
mended for making them pub
lie so that no person need I'M
knowingly break the laws and
get into trouble, because of a
lack of knowledge of what has
been done.
