JAPANESE FOR BRAZIL.
Arrival of One of the Mikado's Special
ClrI iSa ifa1n

Arrival of One of the Mikado's Special
Commissioners.
A representative of the Japanese Govern
ment was among the passengers on the
steamer San Juan last evening. He is Sho
Nemote, special immigration commits
sioner, who has been on special mission
for his Government to Central and South
America. 1t appears that some months
ago the japanese Government was COM
municated with by planters in Brazil and
Central America in regard to the advisa-
blllty of sending japanese laborerS to work
on the coffee plantations in those countries,
That Government, however, before en-
tering into any scheme for founding Jap
anese colony SO far away from home, de-
cided to make some investigations regarding
its advisability. The main thing to learn,
Mr.. Nemote says, was to find out about the
climate. He was chosen for the work
Mr.. Nemote arrived here last july and
started south. He went first to Brazil.
The best place there said Mr.. Nemote,
who speaks excellent English, twas Santa
Paula. The climate there is very much
like that of California, and is healthy, which
is more than can be said of other parts of
that country. l also visited the West
Indies, and then went to Nicaragua and
Guatemala. Of all the places 1 visited

the Nicaragua canal. That is a grand
thing, and [ hope that it will soon be COM
pleted under American control. It's adj
vantages will be more than can now be
estimated. l will return to Japan by the
next steamer and submit my report. What
action will be taken about the colony?
Oh, that l cannot say. 1t will rest with
the Government entirely. How many
might go to such a colony? Oh, about
10000, | should Judge, but then don't

names are Thomas r. Walker, alias Frank
Rogers, and Con Sweeney. Both have
served terms for robbery and other crimes.
About the time mentioned William Kill
low, janitor at 212 Sansome street, and
William Schumacher, the elevator man,
had finished sweeping and busting the diff
ferent Offices. They stepped into the ele-
vator on the second floor to go to the
ground floor, when Killow remarked to
Schumacher: "Why, the light is out. :"
AS they descended in the elevator they
heard shutting noise on the stairs, and
Killow said, -iokingly: "You have your
gun with your
AS they stepped out of the elevator two
men with handkerchiefs over their faces
confronted them, each with a revolver in
his hand. Throw up your hands" was
the command. Killow stepped hurriedly
back into the elevator, closed the door and
lay down on the floor, leaving Schumacher
to face the two robbers. Schumacher
showed fight and grappled with one of
them. In the fight the robber inserted his
teeth in Schumacher's left ear and made
him yell with pain.
Schumacher's yells scared the robbers.
and they ran in different directions Po-
licemen Colen and Knight were standing
on Battery and California when they heard
Schumacher cries for help
lHOy IAN up Nd1lOFIild anu saw one OF
the robbers in full fight with Schumacher
in hot pursuit. Colen, as the robber APP
preached him, hit him over the head with
his club and he keeled over. The robber
was Walker, and he had his face partly
covered with red handkerchief and a re-
volver in his right hand. He pressed the
muZzle of the revolver against Colen's alb
domen, but the officer quickly disarmed
and unmasked him, and accompanied bv
killow and Schumacher took him to the
Receiving Hospital where wound in his
scalp was dressed. Then he was taken to
the City Prison and booked on charges of
robbery and mayhem.
A few minutes later Con Sweeney and a
companion called at the prison and en-
quired for Walker Detective Gibson saw
them, and knowing Sweeney's reputation,
took them inside. Schumacher was still
there and he at once identified Sweeney as
the other robber and he was placed under
arrest. Gibson says that he NAV get
Sweeney identified by other men who
have been held up recently.
Killow and Schumacher were paid their
months wages yesterday, the former $50
and the latter $40, and it is supposed that
Walker and Sweeney had by some means
or other become cogniZant of the fact.

THE HUMAN BEARD.
why 1t Turns white Before the Hair


Does.
Somebody asked in the Sun the other
day." said the barber, carefully clearing
his customers ears of leather, "why the
beard grows white more quick as the hair.
He say his beard is twenty years younger
than his hair and looks twenty years older.
Yes, and every mans beard is so, eh {?
First come the hair of the head, Ell? So.
What you do? BY and by you have your
hair cut. How? Just the ends on the top,
close around the edges, and shave in the
neck. So, Ell?
"Then the beard come What you do?
Shave around the face and leave the little
mustache. No boy want beard, so he
shave him, Ell? Sometimes shave the
mustache to make him thick, but not often.
But the beard every day. So. By and by,
your doctor tell you cover your throat, or
you have not time for shave, or your wife
think you look too young for her age, eh
Any way you let your beard grow. And it
come IN gray
why? tell you. Because of shaving.
To cut off the ends to the hair sometimes
does not hurt its life-perhaps help it. l
have my doubt, but to cut it close or shave
it all the time is to kill it. And why?
Because every time you cut the hair close
or shave the beard you cause it to push it
10 AIAtdGcu 11tO SION4uS SAIIdfdSdllJly,
and what of its life should go into the
coloring matter-the pigment, eh ?-goes to
this false growth.
"And it come out white, Ell? And see if
this is not so, for where of the hair begins
the gray to come? Here at the temples,
where it is clipped so short; here at the
back of the neck, where it is also cut short,
but, above all, in the neck back of the
ears, because there it is shaved. So?
"And shall 1 tell you something more,
eh? To have the whole hair cut SO short
and so often will make the whole head
gray ten years before it should be. Bay rum,
Ell? No; so; ah Thank you, sir. Come
to see me again, eh ?"-New York Sun.

USEFUL PLANTS.
Figures About Vegetable Growths Used
for Food.

Figures ABOUT teSebaDl6 OrOWCnS USeQ
for Food.
Though Emerson suggested that every
weed is plant whose use is not yet
understood, the number of plants that
have been brought into service by man
is very small. Edison S. Basin finds
authority for the statement that 1892
species of plants have been at some
time cultivated for food, and that the
whole number of species known to have
been used as food, including those re-
sorted to in famine, is 1000. But many of
these are of little value, and Smith S
Dictionary of Economic Plants" gives
only SIS species as those important for any
purposes. For medicine some 5000 plants
have been employed, of which the
United States Dispensatory enumerates
sufficient value to be given in the Phar-
macopHia.
The plants not yet investigated offer
great possibilities of usefulness, which,
however, can be developed only by
long and extensive Government expert
menting. The number of named species
of plants may be taken as about $4,000,
and possibly as many more are yet to be
discovered, while many species are capable
of great variation through cultivation.
The different varieties of wheat are be-
heved by some to have their origin in a
forage grass of little consequence. On the
coast of England and France is to be seen
the wild plant from which has been de-
veloped the white and red cabbages, cauli-
flower and other varieties, and perhaps
even the common turnip.
A few years ago 1900 different varieties of
the apple were enumerated, and it is very
possible that some other species of the
genus is as capable of useful development
as the one that has become so important to
US. From the little explored fields of bac-
terra and fungi may be expected many
products of value as remedies and foods

POSTAL PROMOTIONS.
Cutting Salaries to Meet the Exigencies

Cutting Salaries to Meet the Exigencies
of a New Rule.
The new rule which prevents the Post
master from using his carriers for clerical
service goes into effect to-day.
Mr.. McCoppin has been at his wits end
to find way to provide for the deficiency
that would be caused by the operation of
the rule, but by vacating some offices and
cutting salaries in various directions he
has been enabled to add six men to the
clerical list
They were chosen from the available
civil service ranks and are as follows, with
salaries per annum annexed: Louis Miller,

ALAMEDA.

a fatal accident occurred at the pottery
works, West End, yesterday afternoon.
Conductor William Aiken was run over
and killed by the cannon ball freight
train,' running daily to Alameda Point.
Aiken was seen few moments before his
death between two boxcars which he was
trying to uncouple. They were directly
over the frog at the pottery. 1t is sup
posed that when the train began to back,
the unfortunate man caught his left foot
In the frog. 1t was so securely wedged
that the attempt to dislodge the mangled
remains was not accomplished without
considerable effort.
Aiken was facing Pacific avenue when
struck, and the supposltion is that he was
Knocked backward and the wheels passed
over his left side. In some unaccountable
manner the limb was twisted SO that the
dying man was found on the outside of
the track. His agony was not of long
duration, as he made but one convulsiye
movement after the limb was extricated.
The remains were taken to the under
taking establishment of Ross 81 Viewer, and
late IN the afternoon were removed to the
morgue. The inquest will be held this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Aiken was
about rs years of age, and lived on Myrtle
street, Oakland. He leaves widow, and a
child four years of age. He was formerly
a passenger conductor on the run to San
Jose, but lost his position during the strike
last year. He had been on the run of the
"cannon-ball'' freight about two months.
lie was a member of the American Rail
way Union.
Painful Accident.
Mrs. N. M. Holden was injured Wednes-
day night while descending from an cleo
trlc-car. The car started as she was getting
on and she was thrown to the ground. In
falling her head struck one of the rails,
rendering her unconscious. She was car
rled into the real estate office of Thomas
A. Smith & Co. and Dr. T. P. Tisdale was
summoned. Her right shoulder was dis
located and her head was severely bruised.
Against Warehouse Removal.
The merchants are petitioning the rail
road company not to remove its warehouse
to East Oakland. If this were done thew
say they would be placed at great dis
advantage in receiving freight.
