JAPANESE MOVE ON PERU.

LabOrers for the Sugar and Rubber
Plantations Seek quick Wealth.
Prom the New York sun.
News comes from Tokyo that the rest
less workers OF the Emperor's domain
have discovered q new outlet from over
crowded Japan, this time in Peru. The
Meiji Shokumin GOSH Kaisha. which is
nothing but an emigration company. de-
spite its name. has sent 500 laborers 70
Peru within the last six months. and is
now canvassing for go more.
A japanese in Peru must be a new
spectacle. The Chinese have been there
for years. but the eastward tide OF Jap
anese 70 America had not found anything
to attract numbers TO the South Amerl-
can republics. Labor IS 50 cheap there
that it hardly appears possible that any
number Of japanese could be found to
compete with the haIf-breed peon OF the
Andean country.
The news from japanese sources has IL
that the laborers bound for Peru are
going 20 work on sugar plantations and IN
the rubber forests. Those on the planta-
tions are promised 20 cents a day; the
laborers among the rubber trees will re-
eeive N25. The emigration company
holds out the lure that living expenses in
Peru will amount 10 only 81 month.
II the japanese work diligently and live
economically. they will be able 10 save
about so monte against the time when
they desire 10 return 20 the home land
and be little millionaires among their
former associates.

emigration company found in its path.

ing for the Gazette-Times to discuss the
action OF the Republican legislative eau
Gus at Harrisburg yesterday in nominat-
ing Mr. George T. Oliver for United
State Senator. For some time past Mr.
Oliver has been president, editor, and
principal owner OF this journal. which
facts might be taken. by the hypercritic-
al, as the only justification for cOngrat-
ulatory remarks here on developments at
the State capitol.
But the truth is that there are reasons
other than purely personal for gratihca-
ton, reason in which we believe the peo-
pie of Pittsburg and Western Pennsyl-
vania have a share and an interest. At
the inception Of the campaign for success

delegation from Allegheny COun'y 10
the general assembly indorsed Mr.. OIL

Calls II a Compliment.
This was done with such promptness
and unanimity. both in caucus and by
signed addresses 10 the legislature, as 20
permit Of no doubt Of the sentiment OF
Mr. divers neighbOrs ana fellOw-Repub-
licans. Assuredly. that is something Of
so complimentary q nature that It may
be accepted. In all modesty. as implying
a confidence Of which any man may
justly be proud.
The sense Of the Allegheny delegation
is now adopted as the sense Of the whole
Republican representation at Harrisburg
by vote embracing so large a portion OF
the elected Republican membership as TO
warrant no question Of the trend OF Re
publican sentiment on the Senatorship
throughout the ConmOnwealth-and all
this after there has been more than two
months consideration OF the subject.
For these indications Of faith in his
fitness and availability for the Senator

this time. Mr. Oliver is profoundly grate-
fuI and the Gazette-Times joins with him

ought TO have an afternoon newspaper,
and he acquired a controlling interest In
the Pitsburg e-Telegraph, another
old publication. Later, when Chris Ma
gees Times. another morning paper. was
in the market, he purchased IL, and
merged II with the old Gazette. under
the name OF the GaZette-Times II is
understood that Oliver did not care to
have Republican rival morning news
paper, and that. 10 put the Times out OF
business. he chloroformed Il. II cost him
a cool million 10 do it.
He has always taken great interest in
politics, but never heretofore has ne held
political Office. His main hold was that
he was always strong in helping the
other fellow. This is the first time he
has asked anything for himself Al pres
ent he is engaged in building the largest
building in Pittsburg. twenty-five stories
high. That, OF course, is but an incident.
He is busy at many things He lives
comfortably at fine home IN the East
End. and delights more in the society OF
his family-he has six children-than in
wandering among his clubs. although he
is president Of the Duquesne Club, the
most exclusive in Pittsburg.
Il might be thought that he would
leave the work to the writer's he employs
on his newspapers. but IL is a fact that
oliver has been the author OF some or
the most forceful editorial writing in the
Gazette-Times. He is fluent with his
pen. and Is known for his pointed and
direct way Of saying things. On his two
newspapers are employed 100 men in
various capacities. Every one OF them Is
known 10 him personally.

had made divers choice as Senator GER

GIFT OF LANGUAGE
Advantages Of the Man Who Is Able
to Talk Well.


There is no other one thing which
enables us to make so good an i'm
preston, especially upon those who do
hot know us thoroughly, us the ability
TO converse well. A man who can talk
well, who has the art of putting things
in an attractive way, who can interest
others Immediately by bis power OF
speech, has a very great advantage
over one who may know more than he,
but who cannot express himself with
ease or eloquence.
You may be good singer. fine
artist. you may have a great many &C.
complishments which people occasion.
ally see or enjoy, you may have a very
beautiful home and Tot of property
which comparatively few people ever
know about, but il you are good con
verser every one you meet recognizes
and appreciates your art. Everybody
you converse with feels the influence
OF your skill and charm.
In other words, there Is no accom-.
plishment, no attainment. which you
can use so constantly aud effectively
which will give so much pleasure to
your friends as fine conversation.
There is no doubt that the gift of ian.
guage was intended TO be a much
greater accomplishment than the ma
jorlty OF us have ever made of it,

PAPER AND CANVAS.
An Anecdote Of Turner, tho Grea,
Landscape Painter.

Landscape Painter.
In a book entitled "Storles of the
English Artists" X. Davies and c.
Hunt tell an interesting anecdote OF
Turner, the great landscape painter.
He dlsllked TO part with his pictures
and when he sold one Invariably wore
look of detection and oppression. II
friend asked him what was the mat.
ter he would sorrowfully explain, "Ive
lost one of my children this week"
Once rich Birmingham manufac.
turer, elliott by name, introduced
himself to the painter and stated that
he had come to buy.
Don't want to sell" or some such
laconic rebuff was the answer.
The manufacturer then drew from
his pocket n bundle of banknotes, about
5000 worth.
"Mere paper" observed Turner, with
grim humor, little softened, how.
ever and evidently enjoying the joke.
ITO be bartered for mere canvas
replied the persistent elliott, waving
his hand ut the Building of Car
thage' and its companions.
This tone Of cool depreciation seem.
ed to have happy effect, and finally
elliott departed with some $1,000
worth Of Turner's pictures.

AUTUMN LEAVES.
The Change Of Color From Green to
Red or Yellow or Brown.


Despite the commonness OF autumn
colorings, We do not yet know the full
meaning Of autumn colors of leaves.
We do know that late in the summer
! the tree is preparing for the leaf fall
/ by wing the valuable substances OF
the leaf Into the stem. 1t also ceases
to make chlorophyl Qhe green sub.
stance of the leaf which aids In the
making OF the plants food), and this
gradually fades away In the bright
light. BY fading 1t exposes to view
any other colors in the leaf, and all
leaves contain yellow coloring matters
called xanthophyl, whose function Is
not known, and It Is these which give
the yellow color to autumn leaves.
The red is formed differently. In
bright light and cool temperature
new substance. called erythrophyl, IL
made from sugar and tannin In the leaf
cells, and that has red color. A
brown substance Is also sometimes
formed, and, besides, the skeleton of
the leaf Itself turns brown as the leaf
dies. 1t Is the various combinations of
these substances that give the many
shades of autumn colors. Some stu.
dents think these colors are useful
protection to the living protoplasm Qlfe
materiaD Of the leaf after the green
disappears, protecting 1t against the
full blaze Of light, which Is injurious,
but others think the colors have no use
at all, but are simply the incidental
chemical result of the processes in the
rlpening and dying leaf.
As yet the weight OF evidence seems
to favor the latter view, but the mat
ter is still unsettled. 1t IL generally
thought that frost has something to do
with II, but 1t has not, except 70 hasten
IL. Anything whiah affects che vitality
of the leaf tends to hasten II. for which
reason an injured branch of a maple
