departments will hereafter be under
civil service with the exception
of the chief of the police department.

Foundation Of Japa,,.

Every February IL is celebrated in
Japan the great annual festival Of
Kigensetsu, the anniversary of the
foundation of the empire by the first
emperor, Jimmutenno, B. G. $50,
The Japanese reckon their present
era as from this date, and it was on
February IL, 1889, that Matsuhito,
the one hundred and twenty-flrst of
the dynasty, promulgated the pres
ent constitution of the Empire of
Japan, the fundamental principle of
which is clearly stated in its first
article. "The Empire of Japan shall
be reigned over and governed by a
line of emperors unbroken from ages
eternal" The organization of a Par
lament took place in 1890, which in
the Japanese reckoning would be
1850 from Jimmu's setting up his
capital at Kashiwara, in the province
of Yamato, which is regarded by Jap
anese historians as the beginning of
the empire.

Mispelled Word Costs $3.50.

On motion of Lawyer Ralph w

ting in Chancery Chambers, Newark,
dismissed all the proceedings taken
in the divorce suit of Mary Falletto
VS.. Pietro Falletto because a steno-
grapher wrote the word "delusion"
instead of "collusion" in an affidavit
made by the plaintiff and annexed
to her petition. Mrs. Falletto start
ed the suit in 1903, and in 1904 the
Court awarded her alimony and
counsel fees. Falletto was about
$3.50 in arrears. Under the laws of
New Jersey. an affidavit must be
filed by the plaintiff in a divorce
suit that the suit was brought with
out collusion with the defendant.
Lawyer Skinner pointed out to the
Vice-Chancellor that the word col
lusion had not been used, and the
Court decided that the plaintiff would
have to start all over again. This
will relieve Falletto from the re-
sponsibility of paying his alimony
