DEATH
COMES TO
The MIKADO
III Of Japan'S Rulers Sue
CumbS in Imperial Palace
After Brief Illness
YOSHIHITO WILL
ASCEND THE THRONE
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
TOXIC, July 29.-Nikado Mutsu-
hito, Mikado of Japan, died in the I'M
perial palace this morning. He was
born November 3, 1852.
He was the son of Emperor otahito,
or to give him his better known
posthumous name Komei Tenno. He
succeeded to the throne at his faith
er's death on February %, 1867, but
was not crowned until October 12,
1868. He was married forty-three
years ago to Princes Fusako, daugh-
ter Of a noble Japanese family.
The period Of Mutsuhito's reign
was the greatest in japanese his
tory. When he came to the throne
Japan was a hermit nation in the
fullest sense. Few japanese were
permitted to 90 abroad and equally
few foreigners were allowed in Japan,
except when like Commodore Perry,
they entered by force OF arms.
Under Mutsuhito, however, the
people awoke. In a generation they
made up lost ground which western
lands were centuries in covering.
Today they are not only willing to
hear. but insatiably greedy to acquire
all that the Occident has to teach.
Under Mutsuhito. too, Japan was
victorious in two great wars-with
China and with Russia II annexed
~ nd hfrln-
mats believe it is now about to take
Manchuria, too. II has created an
army and a navy. In short from a
country of barbarians it has trans
formed itself since Mutsuhito's reign
began into a power of the first
class.
Had it been genuine, te most not
able OF the mikados acts. however
would have been his resignation o!
absolute power and establishment oil
a constitution, but the truth is that
the constitution is an ornament rath-
er than a reality and Jajan is as alb
solutely ruled today as it ever was
It is the fashion to attribute to the
Mikado the advances the japanese
have made recently. Actually. hs
had little to do with government az
fairs. but has remained all his life
a tool in the hands of the little dig
archy which nominally as a group o
mere advisors, have really shapeC
the destinies of Japan.
Mutschito was the one hundred
I and twenty-frst of his line in direc
descent. as the Japanese are taugh
/ to believe. from the sun. He had NJ
children by his imperial consort, bu
several by his supplementary wives

Daisy Opie Grace on the charge Of
attempted murder of her husband,
proved unexpectedly tedious and slow
today Up to the regular time for
court recess only a few tentative jur-

talesmen had fixed opinions on the
famous Atlanta shooting mystery.
Neither side exercised peremptory
challenges.
Shortly before noon, the jury panels
summoned for trial were entirely ex-
hausted and arrangements were made
by Judge Roam for a new batch OF
talesmen.
Mrs. Grace and her wounded hus-
band spent the entire day under the
same roof. Mrs. Grace was in court
energetically directing the fight to
stave a prison sentence.
Eugene II. Grace, three-fourths
dead, being paralyzed from his chest
down. lay on a stretcher in a room
adjacent TO the court.

INDICATIONS point IL separate
camp of instruction next summer for
the National Guard of the District
of Columbia. Despite the rumors to
the effect that the brigade would go
into. big JOINT maneuver camp with
thousands of regulars and other guards
men OF the eastern states, the best judg-
ment of those who know is that the Dis
trict,s organized militia will have the
comfort and satisfaction OF their own
camp again in August

IL Is not to be understood that no reg

Guard of the District of Columbia next
summer. What is wanted is the pleasant
and instructive companionship of a select
number of United States troops. Whether
or not another officers camp will be held

relatives of the wife over those of the
husband.
1t is essentially at dinner parties that
this question of precedence has to be
considered but in reality 1t comes to the
front throughout the day, not only at
one or other of the ladies must take the
lead. For instance, when a drive is pro-
posed, either by carriage or by motor car,
the first to enter the vehicle IL a relative
of the wife. mother. or sister. followed by
relative of the husband the hostess en-
terng last.
At luncheon the wife's mother often
occupies the seat at the bottom of the
table In the. absence of the host and
assists in doing the honors TO the
guests. At tea she also assists her daugh-
ter in helping the guests to all they re-
quire in the way of cakes and bread ami
butter. etc.
as the waiting commences from the
hosts right hand, and should the guests
be helped i'm the order In which they are
seated, and they happen to be numerous
unless there are duplicate dishes the rela-
tives of the husband hate some little time
to wait in each course. The signal for
the ladies to leave the dining room Is
seated at the hosts right hand. her
mother i'm family party, and she is the
first to lead the way from tho dining
room to the drawing room. followed by
the other ladies. the hostess going last.
The adjournment for the night is made
in like manner. the proposal being sue-
geSted by the hostess to her mother, and
ca ried out as aforesaid. Thus II will be
seen that throughout the visit the honors
Of the situation are bestowed upon the
relations OF the hostess, and this by gen.
eral consent.

From the Queen.
In England where the question of pre-
cedence is a vital one even at family
parties. there is a defipite rule as to
whose relatives shall go first those OF
the wife or those of the husband. AS a
matter of fact. precedence Is generally
accorded to the relatives Of the wife.
There are several reasons for this be-
ing So The wife's mother is taken in to
dinner by her son-in-Iaw, the host, as
he could not take his own mother or his
own sister. Again. a wife could go i'm to
dinner with her brother-in-law, but not
with her own brother when other man
guests were present
Concerning more distant relations the
case is different. A host could take in
his own married niece, and the hostess
her nephew, but they would not do so IL
the wife's niece or the wife's nephew was
present on the occasion. This because of
