 FOR JACOB RIIS
 AS FOR 4 BROTHER

 He sent the following telegram to Mrs. Riis at Barre, Mass:
 am grieved more than I can ex- press. I feel as if%I had lost my own brother. Jakess friendship has meant more for me than I can ever say. mourn with you and wish I could say anything that would be any comfort to you. ''

the people and found a rare sword in It's tail. Returning to the heavenly region, he presented 1t to the sun goddess. who later bestowed it to her grandson together with the mirror and jewel
 The comma-shaped jewel. last of the sacred treasures. is also believed to have been made at the time of the sun goddess by one or her followers but no exact description of the Jewel is available. That is a. sacred secret of the sanctuary.
 The ceremonies at this imperial sanctuary were impressive All of the participating officials were in full dress. chamberlains, court ritualists, and court ladies being attired in an peror. attended by Count Toda, grand master of ceremonies, and Count Watana,be. household minister, made his entry, followed by chamberlains who carried the sacred symbols. Af- terward the Empress entered with equal pomp, escorted by numerous court ladies and princessee, and Ba- ron Hara, vice chief Of the corona ton commission.
 When all were seated, the Emperor proceeded to a place before the sane tuary and. after making a reverent DOW, read an address informing the ancestral souls of the date of the Cor onation ceremonies. The Empress also went before the shrine. follow ed in order by all of the members of the Imperial family, making the same obeisance.
 before the shrines of Korefden and Shindens with the Emperor partici- pating, and imperial messengers were at the same time despatched to other shrines. Later all Of the orig inal ceremonies were repeated to an nounce to the imperial ancestors the postponement of the coronation for another two years.

 OF PAN=AMERICANISM

existence to redress the balance of the old"
 simon Bolivar, .sBl Libertador'' of a large. part of Latin-Amertcas also had his dream of Pan-Annertcanism. America for Americana was his bat tle-cry. but his Pan-An ericanism was purely Latin, and did not extend to the United States .sof the North Bolsvar's first Pan-Amerioan Con- gress at Panama was d failure, and on his death-bed the Lfberator declared: !: ]" America is ungovernables and those who, served the revolution have ploughed the sea-"
 Henry Clay was the first North American statesman to suggest a con ference of American republics, to be held at Panama, but no steps were taken to put 1t into effect. At this period most of the Latin republics Hooked to the United States as their the first Mexican war and the Walk CT expedition into Central America, which was at least wiuked at by Washington, tended to provoke dis trust of the sYanquts.s Moreover. Latin-Anerican pride was hurt by H6onroeism. which put the Latin re publfcs in the position of infants to be protected and watched over by d fatherly Uncle Sam. The new Pan Anericanism of Blaine Root, Knox and Barrett treats the various coun T tries as friends and eQualsA
 Pan-Amertcanism has become as rea1 force In the world and, if 1t can survive the difficulties Which now confront it. and overcome the ob z stacIes presented by racial prejudice and difference in language, the as-s piratfons and hopes and dreams of the fathers of Pan-Americanism may yet be realized

Although blind, MT. Perry's mental vision remained acute up to the time of his death and from 11ag comfortable home at Washington park. where he spent the last years of his life with his wife, he was able to direct his business interests.
 The present generation scarcely knew him. but there are stin living a few men who will attest to his fine na- ture and the prominent part he played in building the foundation on which is hid the beautiful city of Bridgeport
 Men like Samuel Baldwin, ". R. Higby, Marshall B. Morris Samuel Wheeler, David Thompson, Isaac Hol- den, Phifo M. Beers, Aurelieus Stew ard, D. E. Marsh, Frederick Hurd and Charles Sherwood, all but two of whom are now dead, were his con temporaries. These men were all ac- lively identified with the work Of building up Bridgeport from a lLttio coast town to a thriving manufactWg- ing center, '"The Industrial Capital cG Connecticut"
 Because of the an1ictAon which sad dened the last ten years of her hus- bands life, Mrs. Perry bequeathed $1O. 900 to found clinic and infrmary for the treatment Of eye and ear dis eases.

FOUNDATION OF FORTUNE OF
 LATE WILLIAM HUNT PERRY
How a Poor Yankee Boy Who Began Life As Country School Teacher Became Captain of Industry Part In the Upbuilding of Bridge port.

Many old time residents of Bridge port were pleased when they learned that the widow of William Hunt Perry had bequeathed STE, ,000 for theg erec- tion to his memory of a memorial gateway at Seaside Park. Those who remember MT. Perry in life declare that such a memorial would be a fit- ting testimonial to one who did much for Bridgeport and for his fellow cit izens with whom he came in contact here. The will of his widow. Harriet Adelaide Perry, was admitted to pro- bate several days ago. Her estate was estimated to be at least $5oo.000.
 William Hunt Perry came to Bridgeport when the Wheeler & Will son co. moved it's factory from Water town to East Bridgeport. He was one of the most prominent in that group of citizens in which were F. T. Barnum and Gen. w. H. Noble, and who did so much to build up East Bridgeport as well as the greater city on the west side of the Pequonnock river. ..
 MT Perry was of. that splendid type of American manhood which is often referred to as gentlemen of the old scho6l." He was noted for being fair and just in all his dealings and to the day of his death enjoyed the love, re- spect and confidence, of his employees and associates, and his word was al-
 
 His life work represented that of the best in the citizenship and the nation. He was born at Woodstock. Conn, in May, 182O, and was descended from the same stock as the famous Com zmodore Perry Before he was 20 he became a school teacher and taught for six terms at Newington. The pay of a good mechanic then, as now. was much better than that of school teacher. and he gave ap teaching to work in the Colt revolver factory at Hartford
 There he became a sxiIfu1 mechanic and later a contractor under the old system in vogue. when contractors not foremen, directed the worknen In 1855 he went to Watertown and en- tered the employ of the Wheeler & Wilson Co. that had begun the manu- fracture of sewing machines there two years before.
 He went into the firm $ ofice as bookkeeper and when the concern removed to Bridgeport. he came with it, and in 1885 he was elected secre- tary, having been made a stock holder some time previous.

CORONA TON OF
 MIKAD0 PUT OFF
DEATH OF DoWAGER EMPRESS NEUESsTTATES WAIT OF TWO
 YEARS AfORE.
SPIRITS OF ANCESTORS FORMAL LY NOTIFIED BY BREAK IN 1.
 CEREMONY.

TclSio, May 27.-A1though it is nearly two years since the death of the Emperor Mutsuhito. 1t will be an other two years before his successor, the Emperor Yoshihito. is fully en- throned, according to all the Japanese rites. The postponement of the cor onation festivities which had been ar ranged for the coming fall, is bemoan- ed by the whole Japanese people, but the death of the doWager empress ne- cessitates a long period of national mourning and it is sacrilegious thing to use at the coronation cere- mony the seed of rice that has been ripened during season of sorrow. E A part of the coronation ritual had been observed prior to the death of the dowager. empress. however The Imperial ancestors had been duly no- he'd for the coming fals and upon the death of the Empress. the ancestors were. again visited at their various shrines and notified that the ceremo- nies would be deferred until 1916.
 In Tolxio,s the Emperor himself made the announcement before the Imperial sanctuary in the palace. This Is the most sacred of the shfdnes, where the spirit sof the grand ances- ter, Anat aterasu-Omika goddess of the sum- is enshrfned. Heres all SO, are the three sacred symbols of the throne, the metal u11ETOTs Tn0 sword, and the cornma-shaped jewel, around each Of which is woven the tradition that they were all handed down by the goddess of the sun, '' the Imperial grand ancestor, to her grandson, Ninigd-no-1nikoto on the oc- casion Of the latter,s descent to the island empire from the heavenly re- zion. When the sun goddess con ferred these treasures upon her grandson she solemnly told him to re- spect them and enshrine them in the palace.
 She told him that the sacred mirror (which was the most important of the three. representing the spirit of the sun goddess) should be held in high est respect and the imperial descen- dant should regard 1t as he would the spirit of his grandmother. The treasures were handed down to Elm peror Jirnmu, the first Of the imper- ial line. through five dynasties and then to the present emperor as the symbol of the throne.
 The sacred sword, one Of the three treasures, also has a romantic history Tn tho dim prehistoric days. the brother Of A1aa;tarasu onaikanai, who. was avery hero ics an q restless deity came down to the island Sire, De- ing driven out from the heaTeuly re- zion by the sun goddess While trav- cling through the province of Izuuo, he happened to kill a very big boa constrictor which had been terrifying

In July, 1886. he was chosen treas- urer as we'll as secretary, and made general superintendent of the factory. This latter position he filled with sim gular fidelity until his failing health forced him to give up active business life.
 In 1547 he married Miss Catherine Storrs. by whom he had one daughter Ills first wife died in 1862. His daugh- ter by this marriage. who later mar ried Mark R. Leavenwortll. is also de= ceased. During the Civil war MT. Perry lent personal and financial aid to the Christian Sanitary commission and in other ways did what he could to aid the Union cause
 In 1872 he married the widow of A1onzo Mayher of this city By her request a. magnificent memorial will be erected to him Although very ac- tive in business life he was of re- tijring disposition and public life had no charms for him. Besides his offices in the Wheeler & Wilson Co, he was at his death a director in the Bridge port Hydraulic Co, Bridgeport Cas- light Go, and the Wood Finishing co. Of New Milford.
 In politics he was q Democrat. He served for a number of years as park commissioner and did much to pave the way for the development of our present park system. So from another standpoint 1t is truly fitting that a gateway to his memory should be erected as his widow proposes at the Park avenue entrance to Seaside Park.
 Several times he was offered the nomination for mayor and might have been elected. but each time he de- clined, pleading the pressure of busf- ness. He was very charitable and his benevolent deeds were performed without ostentation- With the possible exception of Henry. Sanford and wv. ID. Bishop. he was at his death the veal thiest resident of Bridgeport.
 William Hunt Perry died at his handsome home at Noble and East Washington avenues. about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of May 8, 1899. He was 79 years of age and during the last ten years Of his life had been to- tally blind. For more than eight years prior to his death he had been a suffererzfrona illness other than his blindness and several times he was reported dying. but always he dis played remarkable recuperative pow CTS, so that his death was rather un- expected when 1t occurred
