ENJOY OCCASION

The new home OF the Volunteer
Firemen's Relief Association at No.
211 East Fourteenth street, was
formally opened last night with big
reception to the members and invited
guests. There was liberal response
TO the invitations, and the building
and grounds were thronged with fire
men. former firemen, city officials and
Just plain citizens and their wives
and sweethearts until a late hour.
That the opening was a success was
the oft repeated expression heard
around the refreshment tables and
in the commodious quarters.
By $50 o'clock a jolly, perspiring
crowd Of men had found sitting or
standing room in the enclosed lawn
on the west side Of the building.
where n long table. spread with good
things, invited their attention. The
women took possession of the
parlors. Everyone was acquainted
with everyone else and there was no
stiff formality about the affair to de-
tract from its pleasure. Active and
retired firemen mingled in the throng.
All the fire companies were repre-
sented and there was a sprinkling Of
city officials. The officers of the as
sociation in charge of the reception
extended a most hearty greeting to
all the guests and every one was in
stantly at home.
Members Of Ladies' Auxiliary. who
performed an important work in max
ing it possible for the association to
acquire the new home, were much in
evidence and assisted materially to
make the evening a success. Council
men McGoldrick and Williams were
present. and so was Chief Patrick
Golden and the assistant chiefs.

guests was the large number of old

The Levy Court late yesterday after
noon decided TO continue the county
tax rate at so cents on the 500 as
sessment. This rate was fixed after
the members of the court had spent
the greater part Of the day in confer
ence with representatives OF the
Chamber of Commerce. It was thought
up to 2.3O O'Clock that an increase in
the tax rate would be made. but later
when it was found that the county
will receive $4,000 from the sale Of
the Court House the rate was un-
changed. This money will be applied
to paying off bonds and interest.
The budget as prepared by the court
provides $4,000 for furnishing the

GET MUCH FOOD FROM OCEAN
Almost Every Species Of Fish IL to Be
Found on the Tables OF tho
Japanese.

It Is estimated that in Japan one
person in twenty in the entire empire
is more or less of fisherman, and
fish appear in some form on the table
Of every Japanese family daily, If not
at every meal. The annual value OF
water products is in excess of $780,.
100000. Half a million boats are en-
gagged in fishing, Of which $4,000 are
more than thirty feet long. Almost
a million men are professional fisher
men, and 100000 more give part OF
their time to fishing and the rest OF
farming or other pursuits. Only about
100000 men are so employed in the
United States.
A thousand species Of fish, says the
Far East, have already been identified
in Japanese waters, and almost every
one Of them is edible. One of the com
monest, most wholesome and most
sought after is the shark, which the
western people have never learned to
eat. Even the octopus is table deli
cacy.
Much fish is eaten raw by the Jap
anese, a fact that is said to be much
more easily understood by foreigners
after they have tried raw mackerel OF
other fish dipped in the delicious
sauces the Japanese employ in this
relation.
