8 THE COLUMBIAN. bloomsburg, pa. 'I iri'KSI i.V. MAUC't 2.1, 1y$. JAPAN. fASf AND 1'RESENT, In April 1860, the first Japanese Embassy that had ever visited any country, came to the United States. In June they visited Philadelphia. The Evening Telegraph in .speaking ot the visit says: "That event properly ranks with the Declaration of Independence and the Centennial Exhibition, as one of the most significant the city of Philadelphia has ever witnessed. The profound curiosity which then stirred the city and its environs grew largely out of the fact that previous to that time not more than a half-dozen Philadelphians had ver seen a Japanese. What little was known about their mysterious island had been revealed within the preceding six years, since Commo dore Perry's expedition had first lifted the inviolate screen which had separated Japan from the gze ot the world for centuries. Accord ingly the members of that Embassy were personages of remarkable in terest not only in themselves, but tor what they represented. No such Embassy bad been sent from Japan to any other country, and the Ty coon (or Shogun) then in supreme command, had only agreed with the American Ambassador, Town send Harris, to. send it, liecause convinced that the United States was the most friendly of foreign nations, and he seems to have thought that some report upon its character might determine the ques tion whether it was desirable to per mit further contact between Japan and the outer world." The Embassy consisted of eighty persons, fifty-four of whom were servants or personal attendants. They were received everywhere with royal hospitality, but no where was it so elaborate as in Philadel phia. The parade included bands, city officials, and a long line of soldiery, and it was one of the most brilliant pageants ever seen in this country up to that time. The present editor of this paper, who was then a mere boy, had the good fortune to be in Philadelphia at this time, on a visit to relatives, and saw this pageant as it passed down Arch street. The members of the Embassy, dressed in their strange costumes, each ot the no bility wearing two swords, pie sented a sight never before witness ed in this country. We saw them several times during the week as they were going about the city. That was forty-five years ago, and it was the beginning of a new era for the Japanese Empire. It opened up their gates to tbe world, and commerce was established with other notions. It intioduced west ern civilization and permitted Christianity to gain a foothold, and today most of their great generals engaged in war with Russia are members of Christian churches. Their odd costumes have been supplanted largely by European dress, and to day they tank among t'ue leading nations of the earth as scholars, soldiers and artisans. Their infantry now in the battle field has been pronounced to be the best in the world. This nation which fifty years ago was almost unknown to other countries, nd was not considered among the world powers, today has the mighty Russian empire on its knees ready co sue for peace, out-generaled, whipped, and on the retreat. The little empire of the sea is one of the most wonderful nations of the earth, nd America can justly claim the distinction of having shown her tie way. Apprentice Wanted.

The Prudential, Insurance Com pany of Amei ica has added another highly successful year to its bril liant record, an announcement which will cause satisfaction to its millions of policyholders. The vol ume of paid-for insurance issued bv The Prudential during 1904 was over $3 1 2,000,000, an amount larger than ever before in the Company's history. The assets were increased by $16,000,000, bringing the ac cumulated assets up to over S8,- 000,000, with liabilities of $75,000 000, leaving a surplus of $13,000, 000. The Annual Statement of Tbe Prudential, just published, analyzes these assets and shows them to be of the highest grade. 1 here was paid to policyholders during 1904 the sum of over $13, 000,000. Ihe Company since its organization has paid to policy holders over $92,000,000. A fact which strikes the casual reader, and one which goes far to explain the support of the Com pany by the masses, is its just and iberal method of settling claims. Holders of old policies often receive more money than their policies en title them to, no less than $5,000, 000 having been paid by the Com pany since its formation in such voluntary concessions to holders of old policies. Write to the Home Office of the Company, Newark, N. J., for in formation concerning The Pruden tial's policies, which furnish guar anteed protection to the family as well as dividends to the policy holders.

M.HOCH, New Uoboken Terminal- Immsnts Passenger Depot to be Erected by Lackawanna Railroad. Work has already tiecun on the new Ter minal which the Lackawanna Railroad Com pany is erecting in llohokcn, N. J., and it is expected that the liuilriinc will be completed anil in operation witnm two years. The im provement comprises a vast ferry and rail road structure, there being six slips to ac commodate the boats plying to Barclay, v.nristopner, ana 1 wcnty-tnird streets in New York City, while sixteen tracks will make a rapid train movement possible. The building will be absolutely fire-proof. a minin um ot wood being used. Jts construc tion will be of steel and concrete throughout. the walls on the exterior being covered with copper-finished verdigris. The station will be attractive Irom an architectural point ot view, and numerous new features are planned for the convenience 01 the road s patrons. Ihe main waitinc room win lie one hundred tcet square and filty-four feet high, w'th enormous windows on all sides. From this will open the women's rooms, smoking rooms, lunch room, parcel and information rooms and numerous other dependencies. The restaurant will be on the second floor overlooking the water with a view up and down the rivt.r and will be of sufli .-lent size to accommodate two hundred people. A wirfe balcony projects from the restaurant, for dining out of doors in the Summer. A wide concourse will give access to the second drck ol the boats and t'.iis concourse alone will hold thirty thousand people Passengers from boats to trains will not be compelled to pass through the main waiting room, but may proceed through a forty-foot concourse to a broad flight of steps leading to the tracks. Owing to the fact that it is physically im possible to raise the level of the tracks to the height of the second floor, the tracks will re main on-the grace level and passengers will have the option of ascending to the second deck ot the boats by an inclined plane of gentle slope or by using elevators and stair ways. On the ground floor of the ferry-house will be found a large waiting-room for the Uo boken ferry passengers and on the second floor numerous division office's of the com pany, a completely equipped emergency hospital, toilets, barber-shop and baths. The exterior of the building will be six hundred feet long on the river side, the tower rising to a height of two hundred and twenty live feet This will be electrically illuminat ed at night and its lighted clock faces will be one of the noticeable sights of the harbor. A separate building for ihe use of immi grants and Pullman supplies, just to the south of the terminal building, is nearly completed and will be occupied within a few months. The work of building is necessarily somewhat slow, as the structure mull be erected in sections so as not to interfere with he heavy traffic the Lackawanna is now carrying. The Company hoes to have every thing completed within twenty-six months after the commencement of the work, Ken neth M. Murchison is the architect. No Cigarettes For Minora.
