Leaves To-day for Japan.

Shiukichi Shigemi, the young Japanese, who for six or seven years has studied in this city, will leave to-day for New York, which will be the starting point of his trip homeward. Dr. Shigemi graduated from the scientific department of Yale in 1888, and from the medical department in 1891, receiving the degrees of Ph. B. and M. D. He obtained considerable notice by the publication of his book, "A Japanese Boy," which met with ready sale. He is native of Imabari in south ern Japan, but will probably settle in To- kio, the capital, and practice his profession there. He will leave New York tomorrow for Vancouver, where he expects to arrive about October 25. Then he will sail for Yokohama on the new steamer Empress of India. Dr. Shigemi leaves many friends behind him in the new world who will ness and regret his departure, having learned to highly esteem him and his win ming genial ways. He will be much missed by many warm personal friends in New Haven, where so great 8 portion of his bers among his warm friends some of our leading people of refinement and culture.
 Dr. Shigemi's parents and one of his brothers reside in Imabari, which is on the island of Shikoku, several hundred miles from Tokio. He has also a younger brother, who is mechanical engineer, 8 sister who is teaching school in Kanazawa, midway between Imabari and Tokio, and another sister who is married and who re- sides in another part of Japan. Dr. Shi- gemi's book is still meeting with public favor and he has arranged to have his roy alties from it's sale forwarded to him. Be- sides this work, which received compli- mentary words from Mr. Howells and from scores of newspapers, he is the author of a number of poems published in collection issued in Japan, entitled Nipples of the Shoa1
