Japanese Empress SO Today

The temple bells are ringing in ia
pan today in honor of the birthday of
Sadako, Nippon's empress. Yoshihito,
the Emperor, took her for his bride in
1900, when she was known as ia
pans most beautiful GIRL being at
the time only sixteen years old. She
is the daughter of Prince Kujo Mich
ikata. The royal pair have three
children, one son and two daughters.
The heir to the throne, Hirchito, was
born at the imperial palace at To-
kio, and is in his sixteenth year. Al
though the Emperor of Japan is per-
mitted, by old custom, to have a
harem Of twelve secondary wives.
Yoshihito has not awaited himself Of
this right. He is himself the son of
a secondary wife Of his father, the
late Emperor Mitsuhito. The latter,
although modern in every other re-
sLect, had a number of other wives
besides the Empress Haruko, who
bore him no children. Sadako, how
ever, rules alone in the heart of her
, lord and realizing the advantage of
her own position over that of the for
mer wives of Emperors, has done
much to improve the lot of the wom-
len of modern Japan. She has used
her influence to secure the enforce
emit of the section of the new narri-
ag laws which recognizes but one le-
gal wife. Old customs are hard to
change, however, and polygamy still
prevails. In many parts Of Japan. As
far as the imperial household is con-
| cerned there is nothing to be found
of the Old Japan, as Admiral Perry
found it. The Empress wears Euro
peans gowns and European foods are
served in European manner at the
4 Imperial table. The old palace of the
Shoguns is now strictly modern,
steam heated, electric lighted and
furnished in ultra modern style. For
mer1y the Expresses of Japan were
mere playthings. Not so Sadako
who occupies the same position in af-
fairs of state as the queen consorts
of European nations. The Empress
/ like all her predecessors, is a mem.
Iber- of the Fujiwara clan, from which
/ the rulers of Japan are compelled to
choose their wives. Her family his
| tory is almost as old as that of he1
husband, who represents a rynasty
/ that dates back in an unbroken line
for more than 1850 years. Sadake
was educated with a special view OF
the possibility of her becoming En-
press, and is firm believer in educa-
ton for the women of Japan, whc
have never enjoyed the advantages OF
teaching. The Women's High Schoo
of Toxic of which the Empress Is 6
patron, is recognized as the leading
institution of it's kind in the Far East

FIRST METHODIST
CONFERENCE

The first Methodist Conference was
held 173 years ago today, June rs,
1774. This pioneer conference Of
what is now one of the greatest of the
worlds denominations was called by
John Wesley, who felt that more de-
finite and extensive organization than
he had first given his followers was
imperatively needed. The conference
was composed of six clergymen, who
proceeded to the consideration, of
three topics: What to reach; how to
teach; and what to do. The first two
days were occupied with the discus
sion of several doctrines evangelical
and Armenian, which were defined
with Precision. On the three follow
ing days they discussed the relation

conference, five years later, Methodism
took an organic and definite form, as
