PICTURE WAS NEVER TAKEN
Late Emperor Of Japan Refused to
Break Rule for Pho
tographer.

London.-The death of Emperor
Mutsuhito of Japan has led to the
publication of the story of an inter-
esting and expensive journalistic en-
terprise that failed.
The Daily Mirror says that to OBJ
tain a photograph of the late Emper-
or one of its photographers, who was
In China at the time of the recent re
bellion, visited Japan. He found he
had an impossible task.
Before l left China to go to
JAPAN" he writer's, 81 had guessed
something of the difficulty there
would be In trying to obtain permits
sion to photograph the Mikado and
the royal family.
The matter was laid before the
Mikado personally, and the secre.
tary's reply was to the effect that his
Majesty could not see his way to
break the ordinary rule. He had
added that If had made inquiries
beforehand / could have saved myself
the Journey to Japan. To photograph
the Mikado, he said, was absolutely
impossible. The pictures that appear
OF the emperor are reproductions of
drawings.
The secretary regretted that had
had the journey for nothing and fin
lshed up by asking me to dinner in
the friendliest fashion So sacred,
apparently, was the Mikado's person
allty that his head did not even ap.
pear on either coins or stamps"

results which attended the recent es.

animal escaped from a sale yard, and,

inmate OF the workhouse was knocked
down. While a man was trying to eff.
feet rescue the animal rushed away,
and knocked down a second person.
While several betook themselves to
trees for safety, one man sought safe

all efforts to capture the animal prov

|H0BOKEN HAS
A BIG BLAZE
Fire Stopped Fifty Feet from
Gas Tanks,

Hoboken, N. J., Dec. "A fire which
overtaxed the local department 80 that
Jersey City was asked to lend assist
ance wiped out a block Of factories
and tenelnents on Grand street and
stopped within fifty feet of the cfty's
source of gas supply. Had the flames
reached the five big gas tanks of the
Public Service corporation at Twelfth
and Grand streets there probably
would have been q serious conflagra-
ton. AS 1t was the loss amounted to
more than 5000, 900.
Six families are homeless, 300 en-
ployees out of work and a man suffer
ing from tuberculosis and now dying
from shock are the results of q fire
Which ragged for four hours.
The blaze started in the southeast
corner Of the old Granite rink, owned
by the Caledonia Curling club of Man
haitian and used by the curriers' up to
the end Of last winter. The building,
which was Of frame and one story
high and covering several city lots
from ITO to 1926 Grand street, was
burning at a lively rate when the
alarm was sent In.
Famed by a stiff breeze the flames
ate up the old rink and leaped across
the street to William Hunters ma
chine shops, which were soon destroy
ed. The Fox Hill Iron foundry, op-
Grated by Joseph Ferguson, directly to
the north, was the next building to go.
Meanwhile the fire in the rink had
spread to the four story brick factory
of the Joseph N. Courtake Piano Case
Manufacturing company, with offices
at b14 West Twenty-fourth street,
Manhattan. Nothing but one corner
Of the brick wall remains.

Twenty-ffth street. Today he Is to
see William M. X. Olcott and George
F. O'Neill, his lawyers, about the steps
to be taken in regard to the second
will Of William Marsh Rice and Pat
rick's efforts to vindicate himself.
Patrick has announced that he will
have the whole matter of the validity
Of the will threshed out In court
Whether this scheme will be given up
has not been definitely settled as yet.

In the following" telegram from St
Louis:

 Ii makes difference that the department of justice promised relief after being informed of the conditions in telegram sent at private expense The fact remains that when witnesses who had been in attendance upon the court for months discharged, money which rightfuly theirs withheld from them and they compelled to seek credit from strangers.
 1t is not that the government of the United States pro- ydes for the administration of justice n nggardly nerQuite the contrary.
