FITTING A JAPANESE ROOM,
P~1ainness, simplicity and a Fusion
of Oriental with Occidental Ideas.

VI OCCkefellttf H0PA&.
A japanese room in an American house
does not mean so much the furnishing
of a certain limited amount of space
with a large collection of japanese OBJ
jects and material, as it does a perfect
fusion of Oriental with Occidental ideas,
writes F. Schuyler Mathews in detailing
and illustrating "A Japanese ROOM in
the October Ladies Home J~ournalA A
lot of Japanese things will not make
the room they occupy Japanese. Its
whole arrangement and character must
undergo a complete change. For in
stance, a chair is thing quite foreign to
the Oriental idea of a seat. There are
no chairs in Japan. Divan and stood are
both Oriental, and conform with our
ideas of comfortable seats. Indeed, they
often prove quite ais luxurious as the
conventional American rocking chair.

ELIZABETH, Oct. "A few days after
the decision of the Supreme Court holding
the County Court act to be unconstitutional
was made, Mr.. Bergen had a conference with
counsel for both parties in the case in which
the decision was rendered, and urged upon
them the importance of having the decision
reviewed by the Court of Errors at as early
a day as possible, in order to get a final def
niticn of the extent of the power of the Leg
islature over the inferior courts of the State.
Counsel for both parties at that time ex-
pressed a willingness to frame the decision
in a way that would admit of an early re-
view by the Court of Errors, on account of
the public Importance of the subject. Ae-
cordingly, by authority of Mr.. Mum, eoun-
sci for Mr.. Wrightson, Clerk of Essex
county, a notice was given a few days ago of
an application to be made to Judge Van
Syckel yesterday morning toput the case in
shape for review.
This move alarmed the lay judges, and
they at once took measures to stop 1t. Their
counsel was notified to oppose any effort to
obtain a review of the decision OF the SD
preme Court, and fearing that they might
not succeed in doing so, some influence a few
days e was brought to bear upon Mr..
Wrightson himself, the clerk of Essex
county, whereby he wrote a letter to Mr..
Mum, his counsel, in substance ~forbidding
him to continue the litigation. and conse-
| queEtly. the motion which was to be made
before Judge Van Syekel yesterday morning
was abandoned.
The lay Judges. who have very little to do
oIrthe Bench, are very industrious in their
efforts to stag there. They have a very
thorough organization throughout the State,
and the extent of thar power may be in
| ferrad somewhat hom the fact that Dr..
Wrightsen vas elected clerk Of Essex comfy
as a Republican, but has been induced to re-
fuse to ALLOW even the use of his name to
nrnInnta an imnnrtAnt reform measure.
