THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1896. W - FEW years ago a party of four | Worked upinto quite a nervous state of ladies, including the writer, started on an overland trip from A Kobe to Okayama in jinrikishas. We were a merry party as the inrikisha men tucked us into their baby :arriages, and our two-legged horses were usoin the best of spirits. The jinrikisha men are very fond of travehng in com- panies, and on such occasions will some- times start off with a shout and with such tpeed as to make the heart of the occupant »f the little vehicle palpitate with fear of veing tipped over—an experience not alto- ether unknown. Sometimes people think it might be un- for women to 1 alone in a en land, but th we were, four rcted females, the eldest abou e a girl of 15, and ve miles away fror »n, sleeping in a Japanese coun- v hotel without the least thought of fear. This was our first experience in traveling siderable distance in jinrikishas, country aotels. nough to finc ind as th itely en; ; arouad n the b{ some time it Nas anno the room was in | nsed for months without being washed, but we had been warned and therefors | | | | laughter. A few moments later, having occasion to clap our hands again, the eld- est son appeared, and tne next time the eldest daughter, and so on until the whole amily had satisfied their curiosity, each fresh fit of laughter despite our efforis to preserve our decorum. At last dinner was ready. A white wooden bucketful of beiled rice without even sait in it was placed in the middle of the floor. A smail tray containing two bowls was placed on the floor in front of each of us. one of the bowls containing a small bit of fish floating in_the water in which it was boiled—(soup, if we may so call it)—the other bowl being empty 10 re- ceive the rice which the maid gave to each of us in turn, dipping it out of the bucket th a large wocden iadle. With ourchop- ks we thrust the rice down our throats, a swallow of the fish water now d then to help i% on its way. This deligntful repast over, we called at once for our beds, which consisted of great, heavy comforters spread on the Hoor. The sensation after lying down awhile is not very different from that one experiences in sleeping on boards. To show how Japanese ideas of cleanliness differ from ours, this comforter had been brought our sheets with us. The thick- | are supposed to have, w face that appeared sending us into a | FOUR-AMERICAN-WOMEN TRAVE LIED~IN-JAPAN-. T | nary price of a night’s lodging and two meals; however, we had to yield, and aiterward learned that there are three rea. sons why they charge foreigners more than their own people. First, we have, or more money than the Japanese; second, we make more trouble then they do, and third, very few foreigners know enough to pay the ex- pected “cha dai” or tea foe which every apanese pays in addition to his bill. The | bill is supposed to express the exact cost he has been to bis host, and his “‘cha dai’” is a little compliment he pays in addition for the troubie he has made. The second night we drew up before a low-roofed, two-story building, which was recommended by our jinrikishamen as the best hotel in town. Thoueh not at all inviting in appearance there was no alternative. Two rooms on the second floor were at our disposal and were sep- arated as usual by paper partitions. We decided not to use the first room because of various odors floating up the stairwa: from below, which it wauld be impossible to describe. We were in an unusually merry mood this evening, and by our own constant chatter and bursts of laughter must have aroused the suspicions of our host. It was evident from the attention we attracted tiat foreigners had rarely, if ever, been seen in the place. After our beds had been prepared we were proceed- ing to get ready for one night’s rest(!) and one of our number had already crawled in between the comforters, when suddenly, without a word of warning, the doors flew open, and there stood two men, our hostand a policeman, gazing atus with solemn faces. We looked at one another in dismay, and as the ludicrousness of the situation dawned upon us, two of us sank upon the floor overpowered with laughter, while the most dignified of the party calmly stood behind a screen resting her | elbows on the top of it, and looking al- | ternately at the men and at us. As soon as we were able to speak we found that the policeman wanted to see our passports, without which no foreigner was then al- lowed to travel in the interior of Japan. No doubt he watched the house carefully tbat night lest we might prove to be men in disguise come 10 rob the town. It is a common saying among t.e Japanese that American women look and act like men. To perform our morning ablutions on the veranda downstairs, with a number of | curious people gazing at us, was no small | trial of our moral courage. A basin of water was placed on the veranda, and get- ting down on our knees, we washed as best we could, considering the conveniences and the privacy we enjoyed. Tne use of our toothbrushes caused a quiet kind of | merriment among the bystanders. In the | interior of Japan the old-fashioned tooih- brash, consisiing of a small stick of white wood, fringed at one end, so that it looks like a diminutive paintbrush,is still in use. People will go about their work for half an hour or so with one of these brushes pushed back in th mountis between the | teeth and the cheek, and when the hands are disengaged, occasionally give theteeth an extra scrub. ness of the comiorters prevented our tuck- The return journey was made in two THE TRAVELERS ARE SERVED WITH TEA AT THE BEST HOTEL IN THE TOWN. readiness, so after taking off our shoes ac- cording tocustom, and placing them on the step, we proceeded to drag ourselves ap the ladder, for such may the steep stairways of Japan well be called, being ouiit thus to economize mm space. On reaching the room we threw ourselves upon the floor, there being nothing eise to recline upon. Our host soon appeared and offered us the use of the hot bath. To our inquiry if any one had used it before us we received an emphatic assurance that we were the first. But another question bad to be settled—could any one see us while we bathed ? all perfectly private. ' So one of our party, taking towel and soap, with great difficulty descended the steep stairway to the ground floor. Upon being shown the bathiroom what was hier surprise to find that the siae of the room which was toward the entry way where people were constantly passing was made of slats with spaces between an inch or more wide. Upon making this dis- sovery the “foolish foreigner” decided to forego the pleasure of a bath that night much to the disappointment of our host and his friends. As supper was not forthcoming and we were very faint we clapped our hands to call an attendant. This brought forth a prolonged yell from below—“Hi-i"—and in & moment our hostess appeared. After trying most desperately to make her un- derstand what we wanted we had ourselves 0, certainly not, it was | ing them in around our necks, 80, although burdened witn their weight, the cold chills creeping down our backs kept us company all night. The adjoining room was sep- arated from ours by sliding paver doors, over which was an opening the full length of theroom ana about a foot wide; thus it Wwas quite possible for us to enjoy to the full the tobacco smoke and loud talking of our neighbor guests until long past mid- night. Soon after everything had quieted down a heavy thud on the floor near our heads announced the arrival of a huge rat through the opening above the door. We were too thoroughly exhausted by this time, however, to scream, so we were finally lulled to sleep by thoughts of rats gnawing our noses oif or crawling under our comforters to get warm. At dayhight we were awakened by sounds resembling thunder. It proved to benoth- ing but the ovening of the sliding wooden doors, which have to be closed all around the house every night tokeep burglars out. We fain would have continued our nap, but the distance yet to be traveled made it necessary for us to start at5o’clock; so, with eyes half-open, we partook of another savory meal and started on our second day’s journey, not quite so jubilant as on the previous day. When our bill was pre- sented we found that we were charged 30 cents apiece. We objected to paying such an exorbitant price, having been told on good authority that 15 cents was the ordi- days, the jinrikisha men drawingus ninety miles in that length of time. They wiil start to run immediately after eating, and we never heard them complain of indiges- tion. One day one of our men stopped suddenly, stooped down, and picking up a dead snake, very deftly stripped the skin off, and before we had time to think it was down his throat. One of our party, when stopping once at the leading hotel in a large city, witha Japanese girl for a companion, met with an experience which was startling at the time, but which she can look back upon now with feelings of amusement. Desir- ing to avail herself of the privileges of the bathrcom and learning that all was in readiness, she proceeded thither and had begun to disrobe, when suddenly a door opened, and a man clad in nature’s garb entered the room. With perfect calmness and deliberation he proceeded to dip water out of the tub to give himself & sort of a shower-bath., It turned out that he had been down to the river, a few steps from the hotel, for a cold plunge, and had just returned to give the finishing touches in the bathroom, Meeting a lady_there did not disconcert him in the least. Bhe, however, fled in consternation to her room, to tell her com- panion what a terrible thing had hap- pened. The girl then groceened to explain to the hotel-keeper that foreigners must be alone when they bathe. He thereupon promised to guard the doors (there being no locks) while this strange guest occupied the bathroom. There was an expression of amusement on tise faces of the J?amnese to think that we should care about such things. They laugh at us because we do fim' and we laugh at them because they o not. ‘We learned enough of the language to discover that they have only one word— “‘hadzukashi’’—for our three words, mod- est, bashful and ashamed. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that mod- esty is something they know little about. ‘We would not say, however, that because of this the Japanese are an immoral peo- ple. Indeed, they look upon nudity with such chiid-like innocence that one a'most ceases to be shocked after being among them for a time. In the hottest weather the children of the lowerclasses run about freely, clad only in their little dark skins. A lady who was in Japan when the men first ndokt?d the BEuropean drsss was rid- ing in the steamcars on a very hotday when a Japauese gentleman, the only other occupant of the car, took off his coat, pants and vest, and folding them up carefully laid them on the seat, going the rest of the journey in his underclothes. No doubt he wascool and comfortable, and in the eyes of his countrymen he was sen- sible. Believing, as is so commonly reported, that the Japanese are a very clean people, it was with some surprise we learned that even the most fastidious wear one night- gown ail winter without washing. éhis garment is made of either silk or cotton, very thickly wadded. In some families the value of a frequent airing in the sun- shine is understood, and this takes the place of weshing. Woolen goods are only just beginning to be used there, the Japan- ese having none of their own manufacture. If they are as clean a people as they are represented to be we conélude that there must be different standards of cleanliness. To be sure, they are fond of the hot bath— especiquF the public bath, where aozens of people use the same water—but we think that the European standard of cleanliness is a little superior to theirs. We would prefer their way to that of the Chinese, however, who take no bath througnout the winter. At one time, visiting some hot springs, we desired to taste the water. A man in attendance took a cup, and rolling up his “kimono” walked right into the large bathtub, the water being about three feet deep, and reaching a little beyond where he stood dinped out a cupful of water and offered it to us. But we suddenly decided that mineral water was not good for our digestion and hastily departed without much ceremony. HUPHEMIA BURTON. < [All communications concerning whist, an- swers to problems, etc., should. be addressed “Whist Editor,” CALL, City.] Many of our whist readers no dount have had their attention ca'led to the new whist plays that seem to be the fad nowadays. Nearly everv whist club in the country, young, middle-aged and old, has a lot of plavers who jump at every new fad as a trout does to a fly. Lvery whist player in this country has heard of the whist king, Mr. John H. Briggs of Minneapolis. The following is | what he says on the new whist plays in the Minneapolis Tribune: The past few months have brought out many suggestions relative to the correct methods play.

Sev. new of before th w leads from peca- liar combinations ha me to the front. Many other plays which are saidto win tricks and m whist easy have been brought to light, invariably by writers who have no whist reputation. These plays have had much fnfluence with beginners, and mavy have adopted them as law. We are often confronted with questions with regard to many of these new plays. When we have time we answer them as best we can. Whether we give an answer or not, our parting. advice touching the merits of the plays is as follows: 1f you sz fur engugh advenced in the geme of whist to judge of the merits of a play by triel give them a test. Otherwiselet them alone and follow the old established game until vou find & fair share of the players of recognized ability recommending the new pla a play has merit the stronger players iscover course of time. There is no law to compel persons to do right when they wish todo wrong, If a layer wishes to lead fourth best from ing jack ten and others, or ten from queen jack ten and others, he has that privilege. In our opinion itis much bet- ter to stick to the textbooks, and make the leads in accordance therewith. N. B. Trist, the futher of the American lead sys- tem, in a recent letter sa “I see no reason _for departing from the time- bonored custom of leading ten from king jack ten; or queen from queen jack ten, t is without doubt trick-winning to lead fourth best from ace and four others—not bolding king or queen jack.” We give below a deal that occurred in Brooklyn the other evening, when N. and 8. made 13 tricks on the original, or at table 1, and only 5 tricks at table 2. From the lead of the fourth best from ace and six others: , and you will find it out in due Tramp—Nine of clubs. Leader—West. At table 1 west opened with jack of spades. South winning with ace, led the fourth best heart. At table 2 the opening leaa was the same, south winning; he opened with ten of diamonds and made 5 tricks. ‘WHISTLETS. An English gentleman, writing to the London Field of March 14, recommends the trial of the American seven-point game of whist without honors and no rubbers in the clubs, instead of the five- point game and playing rubbers. The object, no doubt, is to try to abolish play- ing for stakes. John Petch Hewby, author of “Whist or Bumblepuppy” and “The Decline and Fall of Whist,” died a few days ago at his home in England. It is sad to announce to the whist world the death of such a brilliant writer. He was known as *“Pem- bridge’” as Henry Jones is known as “Cavendish.” He has left his footprints on the sands of time. E. H. Shepard, one of the founders of the Portland Whist Club and ex-director of the American Whist League, is spend- ing a few weeks in the City. D. E. Clark, a whist expert of Santa Paula, was a visitor at the Trist Club dur- ing the past week. B President R. B. Calley of the Linda Vista Club of Oakland has just selected his team that will play for the Rideout trophy now held by the San Francisco Whist Club. President George E. Bates of the San Francisco Whist Club has donated an ele- gant tropby 10 be played for by the ladies of the club only. 2 The Trist Duplicate Waist Club has re- duced the initiation fee to $250 and monthly dues all around $1a month in- stead of $1 50. The beautiful suite of rooms they occupy in the new Wenban building and the moderate expense should be enough to induce all lovers of the game to join a strictly whistclub, A match erame of whist between the Woodland Whist Club of Woodiand, Cal., and the Trist Club of this City is now be- ;usrd have been placed | on Monday-last week. It will be found in its usual place hereafter on Sunday. ANSWERS TO QUERIES. 2 The “Tramp Trays” that wereon this coast a while ago were a set of hands to be played under what is known as ‘‘mem- ory whist,”” and is not recognized or played in any first-class whist club. The American Whist League adopts no “anthority’’ for whist play, nor does it recognize or adopt any system of leads. 80 all cards or pamphlets sent out stating, “As adopted by the American Whist League,” are fakes. 3 . The best whist publication you can get, outside of THE CALL, is ¢ Whist,” a monthly journal devoted exclusively to the game, published in Milwaukee, Wis.; costs $la year. There are several hundred books published on. the game, and they are all good. One of the latest is ‘ Whist of To- Day,” by Miiton C. Work. 3 Our Petaluma whist correspondent writes as follows: Our whist club here isin & thriving condi- tion, having an attendance of from seven to ten tables on our regular meeting nights. Our beginners’ class meets every Friday afternoon. In order to encourage study in that class, we will on the first Friday afternoon in May have & test in the fundamental principles .of whist as found in Cavendish. A copy of Hamilton is offered by the club to the one making the best showing, and F. H. Atwater donates one yesr's subsecription to Whist as a second prize. We are very anxious to have this prove a success and get the beginners to study. If they once get & good start in the right way they will not be very apt to give it up, and, no doubt, we will be )lbYe to get some good players in that way.

Q. 4 The question is what should south lead inreturn? - This is a very nice situation, and we submit it to our readers for criticism and will publish the play of the best answer. SOLUTION OF PROBLEM NO. 1. We bave had a large number of answers from our first problem, Nu. 1. and it is a close race between George H. D’Arcy of this City and E. C. Hill of Oakland. Both show a great deal of good whist percep- tion. They have both carefully analyzed the situation, and they both show them- selves to be good students of the game. They are both prize-winners. _Unfortu- nately for us the prize that we offered does not come in two volumes. Although it does come in two parts, we cannot divide it, so we send to each @ copy of “Whist of To-Day” with our compliments. The problem was as follow: South deals and turns up the two of clubs. West leads king of spades, North plays the five of spades, East the two of spades, and South trumps with the two of clubs and leads the king of hearts. What is the developmentand how many cards of each suit can you place? West’s lead marks four cards only in spades, the king winning the trick, show- ing that West or East holds the ace. Mr. D’Arcy says North might “underpiay,” holding the ace. 1f he held the ace it would be called ‘“‘passing the trick,” not “underplay.” We explained underplay in our last whist article (Monday, April 6). North eviden plays his smallest spade, and B Las not foar or he would retain the lowest to enzble his partner te count num- ber. South trumping with the deuce and leading king of hearts shows four hearts exactly. If South held five diamonds he would have selected that suit tolead from, instead of a four-card suit, and if he held six trumps originally, he would have led a trump, with five remaining. Not doing 80, B s original holding must have been four hearts, four diamonds and five clubs. West holding but four spades, the other nine are divided between North and East. It is quite certain North holds at least six. Outcide of placing the exact number of each suit beld by South, the other holdings cannot be placed. Next week we give solution to problem 2, naming the winner. GATHERING CF LIBRARIANS Entertained by Librarian Har- bourne of Alameda’s In- stitution. o W. H.

It belonged to Perata Bros., vegetable gardeners. They were awarded the sum of §2150 for the property, but refused to accept it, demanding some $6000 for land and damages, and condemna- tion proceedings were accordingly brought. The suit was tried on Friday and Satur- day before Judge Ogden. All the real estate men in Alameda testified as to the value of the land, ranging from $1500 up t0 $4000, the most of them keeping in the immediate vicinity of $2000. Judge Ogden gave judgment for $2528 25, wich is $378 25 more than the Commissioners awarded. A supplemental assessment will now be made to raise this sum and also the ex- vense incidental to the suit. Suit Against the Railroad. ALAMEDA, Carn., April 1L.—W. H. Crozier, a shingler living on Bay street, brought suit to-day in the Recorder's court to recover $299 from the Southern Pacific Company, alleged to be due as damages.
