AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.

Precedent Of Twenty-Five Centuries
Will Be Broken by Public Funo-
tion-New Emperor Will Eat Sacred
Rice Sown, Tended and Harvested by
Virgins.
Tokyo.-For the first time in the his
tory of the japanese empire, extending
over $500 years, an emperor is to ac-
cede to the throne in the presence of
representatives of his people. That Is
why the coronation of Emperor Yoshi-
bito on Nov. 10 is regarded as su-
preme event in Japanese national life
and why it Is looked forward to with
such eagerness and delight by the en-
peror's subjects.
Strictly speaking, the ceremony is
not coronation, but an accession.
The rulers of Nippon wear no crown,
but in the presence of the spirits of
their ancestors they formally accede to
the dignity and prerogatives of en-
perorship. However, the coming great
event is usually referred to as the
coronation.
The emI>Sess expects to become a
mother about that time. The emperor
doubtless will go alone to Kioto with
great pomp, carrying with him in a
specially constructed train Of exquisite
workmanship and decoration the three
sacred treasures which symbolic the

A NOVEL SCHEME
To Raise Money to Purchase Site for
Memorial Building and Armory

At a meeting of the Grand Army Of
the Republic of Mt. Vernon, held in
the office of Col. l.. G.. Hunt on Satur-
day afternoon, the matter of the mem
orial building and armory was talked
over and a plan decided upon to raise
the $4,000 for the purchase of the
site that was selected by the armory
board some time ago. The plan de.
cided upon was the selling of bricks
at one dollar each, and in this way
give the man with but one dollar
chance to help build this memorial to
the soldiers of Knox county. Already
several hundred bricks have been
spoken for, and the G. A. r. and kin
dred organizations will canvass the
city. The oranges of the county will
be asked to sell the bricks in the
county outside the city, The scheme
is a novel one, and If successful the
name of every person who purchases
a brick will be published. It is the
hope of the G. A. r. boys that citizens
will be ready when called upon to
contribute their amount to this pa
triotic enterprise
