PAJAMAS UNKNOWN.

A Philadelphia man who has been travelling in the west says that pa jamas are not popular articles of wearing apparel out there, and cites an incident to prove his statement. While staying at hotel in a me- dium-sized town he sent a pair of rather gray colored pajamas (his wife's choice) to laundry. When they came back they were starched so stiff they would stand alone, and each trousers leg was carefully pressed into the most approved crease. Attached to the coat was pinned small slip of paper bearing the words: "To one lawn tennis suit fifty cents"

ALAMEDA MAY be
TAKEN OFF RUN
Rum0r That She Will Make but
Two More Trips TO
Honolulu.

It is possible, from news which arriy-
Oceanic steamer will only make two
more trips to this city. It is under
stood that there is to be meeting of
the stockholders of the Oceanic Steam
shin Co. in the near future and that
there are liable to be a great many
changes. The rumor is that the Ala
media will be taken off the Honolulu
run and another steamer used in her
place.
Many rumors in regard to the Ocean
ic Company are afioat in San Francisco
and it is said that it is very likely that
the ships will be taken directly over
by John D. Spreckels and Co, the
owners of the bonds. In that case a
complete reorganization of the line
may be expected.
While in San Francisco on her last
trip the Alameda was placed in the dry
dock at Hunters Point, where she was
cleaned and scrapped and also given
two coats of paint. She is in the best
of condition at present.
In regard to the laying off of the
Alameda w. G. Irwin made the fol-
lowing statement:

Oceanic Steamship Co. were unsettled

TRANSLATED for the Advertiser from
an article by Dr. Ernest Abt in the
Berliner niustrirte Zeitung)
A short report which comes from Aus
tralia, sent by DIR. Lark of the German
man-of-war Spree to the Anthro-
biological Society of Berlin, concerning
a newly discovered race, came just in
time to be of great value in the discus
sions which followed the lectures of
Wasmann in regard to the origin OF
man.
The report does not show exactly
where this extraordinarily interesting
people have their home. They seem,
however, to belong to the Kennel Island
which is a part of the Solomon group,
or perhaps to the indispensable reef.
On account of violent storm this
ship took refuge in a quiet strait be-
tween Kennel island and the reef. And
there they found natives who, although
meeting with Europeans for the first
time. apparently showed no fear and
WILLINGLY came on board and allowed
themselves to be examined. They call
ed themselves Lickilicki which means
Eseaters. y The name gives good
imitation of the peculiar smaeklng
sound which the natives make IN eat
ING raw fish which forms the chief
article of their food.
In reading the report of DR.. Lark we
can only give the name of human
amphibia to these strange people. They

among the Lickilicki, although their
home is in the region of New Guinea, is
not curled and woolly, but straight like
that of the Polynesians-the Samoans,
for example.
DR.. Lark reports that the language
of the Lickilicki resembles hoarse
barking and that they greet the rising
of the moon by long drawn out howl
which is not inharmonious.
Their dwellings are caves, situated,
for the most part, close by the sea, and
are decorated with small pieces of coral,
shining shells, sea lilies and such things.
For bed they use the white sea-sand
or dry sea-weed. They have no knowl-

those between Robinson Crusoe and his
man Friday. No wearing apparel was
to be seen. Children and women, who

We all await eagerly the promised
detailed report of DR.. Lark. Professor
Klaatsch of Heidelburg, is at this
time investigating traces of primeval
man in Australia. He, as is we'll
known, is the champion of the theory
that man, contrary to the teaching of
Darwin, and Haeckel, descended not
from apes, but from far earlier animal
kingdom-from animals of the Tertiary
age. It is said that he will make
prolonged visit to the Lickilieki.
