The funeral services were held on the aft ernoon of May 20 A mass of beautiful flowers told of sympathetic friends who gathered to pay tribute to the living and the dead.

JAPAN IS VERY FRIENDLY ID
 UNITED STATES AT PRESENT

Tokio. May 22.-The appropriation made by the American Congress to provide for the representation of the United States at the Tollio international exposition and the signing of the trademark convention between the two countries have created a favorable impression in Japan. The news papers editorially say that the straight forward, friendly course of American di- plomacy has succeeded in dispelling any feeling of distrust that may have been en l. tertained by Japan. The evidence of mutual consideration is taken here to contradict all irresponsible expressions of unfriendliness between the two countries, which, it is believed here, have emanated from persons interested in maintaining strained relations between the two coun- tries.

THE UNEMPLOYED MAN.

One of the greatest charitable institu- tions in the world has just been per- fected in Austria, says the Washington Post. For centuries the state has recog- nized the fact that man, through no fault of his own, may be unemployed, and that at the same time there may be many willing and eager to give him em- ployment. The state has recognized it as its duty to bring the two together. For this purpose every small town in Austria has at least one employment bureau; the larger towns have several. which are connected with one another by telephone. In nearly every town there is also a gov ernment workshop, and in the villages a government farm, also under the labor department Any man or woman who Is out of work may go to the nearest bu- reau and learn in the course of a few minutes what chances he or she has of finding a job on that day. Those in need of employees register at the nearest bu- reau, and their desires are teephoned throughout the district. If no place of fers, the work seekers may spend the day in the waiting room of the bureau or be sent to the government workshop or farm, as the case may be, where he tolls for his board and lodging until he is in formed that place is waiting for him.
 When once place has been found for the worker, he may not leave it for an other without presenting satisfactory req sons to the district superintendent. For the itinerant laborer. if he is respect able man. Austria presents great advan- tages. When one arrives in a town he
