ton, as the standard. and can be used

the same manner as the books and are
to be drawn from the library by the
same method. Four rolls may be
taken out at one time, and are return
able within three weeks, the same
amount of time prescribed for the

been made. The assortment includes
a large number of classical compost
tions by famous masters, dances. ia
miliar songs. patriotic airs. music play
ed in the schools, and a little rag-time

FRIENDS CHURCHES
ARE NOT TO UNITE
Both E. Main and S. Eighth
Congregations Voted
Against the Merger.

That the East Main Street and
South Eighth Street Friends churches
will not be united into one congrega-
ton was practically determined when
the majority of members in both
churches voted against the project at
the services Sunday morning. The
vote at the East Main street church
was 90 for the merger and 80 against
it; while the ballot at the South Eighth
street church showed 81 members op-
posed TO the consolidation and 80 fay-
oring it,
AS the membership of both church
os is considerably larger than the to-
tai vote, it is evident that there We're
many who refrained from expressing
an opinion. There action is said by
leaders in the movement to have been
due to an inability to reach a decision
one way or the other.
The decision was reached in a most
friendly manner by both congrega-
tions, and no hard feeling or resent
ment was aroused by the adverse vote
on the union. According to prominent
members of the churches the vote eX-
presses the belief of the majority of
the membership that the religious
needs of the city and the Friends de
nomination can best be served by two
churches instead of one, at least for
the present, and that no change should
be made until other conditions arise
which demand it. 1t was argued by
supporters of the merger project that
a consolidated church would be more
advantageous.

5000 Females Homeless.

The fire has rendered 5000 females
homeless. Many of the women were
injured, some Were fatally burned and
are being cared for at hospitals in the
foreign quarters.
1t is believed that at least hundred
inmates of the houses lost their lives
since many of them are addicted to
must have perished while under the
influence of the drug.
The scenes during the confagration
beggars description. Half clad wom-
en- carrying their jewels and some of
their belongings fed from burning
houses to seek refuge in the homes
of their unfortunate sisters. AS the
flames swept onward the army of fu-
gitives increased from scores TO hun
dreds and from hundreds to thousands
till the entire homeless host was driv-
en- out of the "Yoshiwari."
In PitifuI Plight
The throng of miserables are in a
pitiful plight. Against them the doors
OF the pharisees in the aristocratic
quarter are locked. A few have been
given shelter in the foreign quarter,
but the majority of the women will
be forced to squat on mats and grass
plots in the open of the suburbs until
the government provides temporary
tents and abodes for them.
The Yoshiwari is conducted under
government licenses, which provides
for the establishment of hospitals, and
several of these institutions also were
burned.
The fire which began at 11:30 a. m.
spread with astonishing rapidity. 1t
was famed by strong southern
wind. and the flames were swept to
surrounding structures to the north
Altogether it is estimated 5000 houses
are in ruins.
Troops Guard District.
Five hundred troops are guarding
the territory. When the wind died
down on the clear night the entire
northern skies of Tokyo were ablaze
from the glowing embers.
! The Yoshiwari lies about one mile
to the north of Asakusa park. The dis
! trict presented "A spectacle probably
| unparalleled in any other country but
| reproduced on smaller scale in the
provincial Japanese cities. with its
gorgeous structures, guarded by iron
bars, directly on the street line and
its thousands of gayly bedecked resi-
dents.
This whole quarter is under special
municipal surveillance with the result
that at all times perfect order prevails
enabling strangers to observe. while
walking through the streets the man

ed, in their own manner, one of the

Flimsy Dwellings.
The district to the north was occu
pied largely by small and flimsy dwell
ings and many tea houses.
During recent years several very
serious fires have occurred in Japan
In Angus. 1907, contlagration al
Hakodate destroyed 1900 houses, with
an estimated loss of about SIS. .000, 900
In March of the following year fire
at Noda Soy. near Tokyo destroyed
400 houses, the damage being $4,000,

Swept by Fire and Many
Are Killed.

Tokyo, April 10.-f'lames, swept by
a fierce gale Sunday night destroyed
all the build ngs covering an area in
this city approximately four square

Part of the district laid in ruins is
known as the "Yoshiwari,' the most
notorious part OF the Japanese capi-
tai inhabited by the licensed "hetae-
rae" or courtesans.
In the Yoshiwari proper 1000
houses were destroyed, many of them
palatial in appearance and gorgeous III

1t Is estimated that the raZed build

known that some of the "hetaerae"
were the custodians of priceless works
of art, jewels, paintings and antique
furniture OF their rich patrons.

ed the next step toward sewer con-
