People in this country hardly recog-
nize the vast differences that exist be-
tween the various classes in Japan The
common sort that you see here In the
United States. the coolie type from the
west coast. are just as inferior to the
Japanese upper class as the hoboes Of
this country are to your college professors
or solid business men.
The failure to understand this is
source of no little annoyance TO jap
anese merchants and professional men
who travel in the United States. They
are often humiliated at the contemptu-
Gus way that underlings and servants In
America treat them. Even your well-in-
formed citizens occasionally make the
same blunder or exhibit the same bI
manners.

TO DISCUSS SHIPPING.
Gerald Balfour Announces That Even-
 ing Will Be Devoted to Subject.

London, October 2O-Gerald Balfour, president of the board of trade, an- nounced in the house of commons today that an evening would be given for the discussion of the governments shipping agreements. The arrangement with the international merchantile marine com pany. he added, did not involve any additional burden on the exchequer. MT. Hanbury, president of the board of ag- riculture, made a statement to the effect that the negotiations on the subject of Argentine cattle were not concluded but the importation of live cattle from that republic afforded security against the landing of diseased animals
 ''When questioned on the subject of a British reverse in Somaliland the for eign under secretary, Lord Cranborne, had little to add to the facts already known. He said General Manning ar rived at Alden yesterday and that the government placed at his disposal bat talion of Indian troops, to aid the pro- tectorate forces. If these troops were not sufficient, others would be forthcom- ing.
 Lord Crandorne said Colonel Swayne's retreat would probably necessitate much more prolonged operations and a larger force than anticipated.

 The couple entered from a door in the rear of the hall and took seats at the front of the platform. They were dressed In the regulation uniforms of the army. Captain Neidderer wore white sash, on which blue ribbon was suspended, and written on it In gilt letters were the words, United for God''

 In pronouncing the couple man and wife Colonel Holtz prefaced 1t by the words, Tn the name of God and the Salvation Army" The usual ring was used fin the ceremony. As soon as the ceremony closed the members of the army threw handfuls of rice at the couple and joined in singing

systematic canvass for subscriptions to the Young Mems Christian association building fund will be started within the next few days and will be continued until the amount needed about $75,000 is raised.
 The building proposition was taken up by the officers of the association early in the year, but the hot weather came on before any organized effort was made to solicit funds. In a desultory way the sum of s27OOO was secured, and now the time is ripe it is thought for house to house canvass.
 A meeting of the board of directors will be held tonight at the residence of R. S. Munger, president of the association, for the purpose of shaping work for a vigor- ous money-raising campaign Mir Nun ger said yesterday that the outlook was decidedly encouraging. With more than a third of the amount to be raised al- ready pledged it is believed that the full sum will be subscribed before Christmas.
 MT. Munger inspected Young Mem S Christian association buildings in several eastern cities while he was away on his vacation and he is now better prepared than ever to discuss the building plans for the Birmingham association.
 A site has not been yet selected, but 1t is underst ood to be the purpose of the building committee to locate some where in the business section of the city. Twen- ty thousand dollars Is about the amount which will be appropriated for the lot A structure to cost not less than $50,0 900 will be erected and the furniture will cost fully S5000 If Birmingham were a finish ed town S25O0O building might be ade- quate but as MT. Munger points out. the association must build for the great Bir- mingham of the future.

People of Indianapolis Excited Over
 Find In Trash Pile.

Indianapolis, Ind, October 2O.-The at- tention of the police department has been called to the fact that on Saturday an old colored man unloaded a wagon at the dumps in the northwest part of the city. His peculiar actions and nasty departure aroused the curiosity of peo- pie in the neighborhood and an investi- gation revealed the fact that the negro had deposited on the dumps many pieces of human anatomy. Several feet. arms and the trunk of a man were uncovered.
 The remains had the appearances of having been burned. The theory that some one connected with the recent grave robberies in and around this city has taken this method of disposing of some bodies he had in stock, to prevent detec- tion, has gained circulation and the po- lice and detective departments of the city are Investigating

 Presumably Zola died a wealthy man-very wealthy as Frenchmen count wealth. A few years ago it was estimated that his royalties, serial rights and rights of translation on his books already published reached a total of $6O,000 a year. When he was first employed by Hachette ct Cie, in the early sos, he received a salary that might have been about $5 a week, and that was after months of pinching when he worked for a pittance of be- tween $2 and $3 a week. When he died he owned luxuriously furnished house in the Rue de Bruxelles in Paris and country house at Medan, near the Seine, few miles from Paris.
