' THRONE ATTAINED ! BV JAPAN'S RULER' People Witness Accession for First Time Since Empire Was Established. CEREMONIES OF SPLENDOR I'uited States ami Other Foreign Countries Were Oltieinily Kepresented. Kioto, Nov. *10.?For the first time in history, the people of Japan aiul the representatives of the people ot foreign lands were present today at the coronation of a Mikado, when Yoshihito, son of Mutsuhito. acceded to the throne of Nippon. ^ Tlu? olnrv of thin nnonlinl ovont in the history of old Japan epitomized. It is the story of the Japanese deities of heaven and earth, of the veneration of the imperial ancestral gods and of the formal accession to sanctity of the monarch of today? Yoshihito?direct descendant of the immortal Jimtnu, the first Emperor and founder of the empire and descendant also, according to tradition, of the sun goddess and imperial grand ancestress, Amaterasu Omlkami, who dewlt in the heavenly regions in prehistoric ages. The essence of the accession ceremony centred about the Kashikodokoro or sacred mirror, which represents the spirit of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. This divine mirror, supposed to be of bronze, though no mortal eyes have gazed upon it, together with tho sacred comma-slraped jewel necklace and the sacred sword are known as the imperial treasures and symbolize the imperial power. The ceremony of this morning was a ritual service of ancestor worship and was hold in a specially erected hall in tho palace grounds known as the Shunkoden Hall, where was enshrined the sacred mirror brought from Tokio. THE NEW JAl'AN. The drawing of the veil of seclusion and the admission of foreigners and of the people of Japan to the holy service of accession was the visual evidence of Japan's transition from the early years, when the Emperor stood apart in severe separation from the world to a time when without abandoning his heavenlygiven snctity he consented to emerge from his historic isolation. In j the olden days the people were not [j present. Vaguely they heard that the monarch had acceded to his Mi rone, but they had no prerogative in the matter. Today they were actually invited to the ceremonies. Their representatives in Parliament were there grouped about the imperial throne symbolizing the new Japan. The Shunkoden was of plain, unvarnished wood and consisted of an outer hall, inner hall and shrine. It was simply decorated. Indeed, simplicity dominates the coronation ceremonies. The decorations were those oT Shintoism, the religion adopted by the court, which is more pronouncedly a series of rites than a religion pure and simple. Besides the main hall were built other halls and annexes for the accommodation of the people participating in and witnesslag the ceremonies. At the appointed time the two gates "kenrel-mon" and "kenshun raon"?respectively facing south ana east?were opened for the reception of those allowed to attend the grand ceremony. The guards about the gates were exclusively those in the service of the imperial household. Then arrived the guests?distlngulsherf oflfctals, civil and military, nobles, the members of the house of representatives and the house of peers, the diplomatic corps and other dignitaries accompanied by their wives, all in full dress or uniform. The loreign women wore the ceremonial gf** robes of the European court with / train. AMKRICA'S UKPRKSKNTATIV|.;S. The United States was represented by Ambassador Ge ?rpe W. Guthrie and Mrs. Guthrie. On account of lack of sufficient space it was necessary to abandon the plan of inviting the suites of the American and other diplomatic representatives. They will attend the second coronation ceremony, In Bhissliden Hall this afternoon. The guests wore ushered to the waiting halls. The n asters of ceremonies, rituals, court musicians and other officials and >fflcers participating in the ceremonies also arrived in due time, all dressed in ancient ceremonial costumes or mil ^ Malaria or Chills & Fever Prescription No. M6 is prepared especially lor MALARIA or CHILLS * FEVER.

A democratic note in the* mutter of dress ?vas that the members of tin* house of representatives like Am bassador Guthrie, wore plain evening dress. Other Japanese, who lid not have an atual part in the ceremonies-, wore a uniform of black coat, white waistcoat and white trousers. The ambassadors and ministers of >thor countries wore their dres.? uniform. Subsequently the urince* and nrin cesses of the ulood and other members of the imperial house entered the Glyoden Hall, nearby and ' heiv awaited the arrival of the Knip Tor. shortly afterward the Emperor made his entry. After a brief res' his Majecty changed his dress, donning the ceremonial Shinto costume, and cleansed his hands with sacred water. Meanwhile the princes and princesses of the blood, household ministers, lord keeper of the privy seal, lord chamberlain, chief coronation commissioner, grand master of ceremonies, chamberlains, maids of lionoj; and other court dignitaries changed their costumes to the ancient cerem-mi ,1 court robes. Tlic Value of Organisation. Mill Life. Perhaps the greatest one factor that goes to make up the uses of a man of today is his abilitv to organize. How few men realize the great importance of this in the management of their affairs. How great are the number that spell failure from not giving proper emphasis to this branch of their work. No great movement was ever accomplished without a perfect system of organization. The ' great armies of Europe today would not stand a week if it wns not for the wonderful way in which the greatest men of the nations have systematized the workings of the many departments of the army and of the nations. The Gorman army is the greatest the world has ever known, simply because it bus the most perfect system that ha:; ever been worked out for such an organization. All great business enterprises ar< compelled to have their organized systems or they would perish; hut how few men realize the importance of organizing the small every day duties that eoine to them; or realize how groat would be the amount ol labor saved if these small things were systematized. Kven the small til 111 k of keeping a man's desk 01 work bench in order is often the means of saving hours of valuahh time. A man's habit can even be systematized into a perfect running organization. The time is fast coming when a man without t.he ability for organizing will be as helpless as a man driving a horse without a bridle. IlipedallstM. New York Times.
