An employment agent in Portland,
Oro., claims that he shall land nearly
1,000 Japuneso in this country next
month. Portland railway oflicials don't
think ho will do it. Of the incoming of
the Japanese as laborers the Oregonian
s'tys: ''There is a diversity of opinion
as to tho desirability of inducing Japan
ese immigration to this country. Some
people, influenced by the accounts o!
Japaneso valor on tho battle field, think
they would prefer a Jap to a European
as a naturalized citizen, while others
are of a very contrary opinion. The Jap
has never shown the indefatigability in
the pursuit of work that ho shows in the
pursuit of Chinese. Ho comes to this
country principally to get an education.
Tho Portland colony coutaius some
bright Japanese and not a few very good
imitations of tho modern 'Willie Boy.'
Of the working class tho majority are
connected m fomo way with restaurants.
The importation of Japanese labor to
tho Pacific coast is not looked upon fav
orably by laboring men. and tho subject
is beginning to bo a most fruitful one foi

An Automatic Kleetrlc System Which Has
lieen Tested In flcrmuny.
Tho frequency of railway accidents
during last year -would appear to have
acted as a stimulus to inventors in tho
field of railway signaling, for an unprec
edented number of warning devices
have been patented -within theJasfc few
months. One of these, -which ft regard
ed as specially -worthy of attention, has
been successfully tested on some of the
military lines in Germany. Tho system
is automatic and is actuated by electric
ity. The circuits are so contrived that
two trains traveling on tho same metals,
whether in tho same or opposite direc
tion, are warned of each other's position
by the ringing of a bell on each locomo
tive, whilo at the same time the two
drivers (engineers; aro brought into tel
ephonic communication. The same thing
occurs if one of the trains be stationary,
so that if there is any breakdown on the
lino in front tho driver receives notice.
Tho breaking away of a bar or cars
from the rear of a train is also notified,
both to the driver and to the station
which tho train has last passed through,
and the distances at which all these
warnings are given and received can be
varied in such a manner as to provide
either long or short "blocks," accord
ing to tho requirements of the traffic.
In fact, tho system seems to have pro
vided effectively against all ordinary
contingencies, anditsemploymont should
greatly reduce the risks of railway trav
el. The German government exporta
speak highly of The apparatus in theii
official report.
Among other experiments a train en
tering a station was warned of an ob
stacle on tho liiu : two locomotives ap
proaching each othVr on the same track
were-warned; two trains proceeding in
the same direction, the second at great
er speed than the first, were enabled to
give each other automatic notice of
their respective speed and position, and
a train which was entering a station re
ceived warning that points were in a
wrong position. In every case notice
was given in ample time to prevent dan
ger and to render :i collision impossible.

THE SMOKING CHAMPIONSHIP.
Ilerr Knopf of Iturlin Keady to JleetAU
Comers Far HOO C'igar. u Side.
A smoking match was given recently
by the Giftnudel Smoking club in its
rooms in Manteuffel street, Berlin. The
prize was a solid silver cigar case and
200 cigars. The entrance fee was
and the conditions were that the con
testants should smoke only the cigars
provided at the expense of tho club and
should remain in plain view of tint ref
eree as long as they were competing for
the prize, no contestant being allowed
to take food, drink or medicine during
the match.
Tins prize was to be given to the con
testant who smoked down to one inch
butts the largest number ot cigars in
two hours. There were 1 7 entries..
Hcrr Knopf, who smoked without
pause from start to finish, was declared
winner, lie reduced 10 large cigars to
ashes in the allotted time, While his
closest competitor smoked but T1. At
the eud of the first hour 10 smokers re
tired from the match and left the room.
None of them returned. Of the seven
others three were pahs and perspiring
profuselv wJb:ai tho referee mlled
"Time."
Knopf felt well and professed his wil
lingness to begin at once another two
hour match, mt his challenge found no
takers. He says that he is ready to
smoke against anybody in Berlin for .100
cigars a side, the length of the contest
to bo fixed by mutual consent between
IX and 5 hours. Berlin Tagblatt.
Coal Cuttin-; Machinery.
British miners are just now disturbed
by the rumored intention of the Coal
masters' association to introduce coal
cutting machinery on u large scale. The
men regard the scheme with great sus
picion, fearing its effects will be to re
duce wages and decrease the number of
men employed. They also prefer to use
their beloved pick, as their forefathers
used it, and work in the way they are
accustomed to, even though it be. as re
fonners say, a constrained and unnatural
method. Inventors say that the British
coalmasters as well as the colliers are
difficult to convert in this matter. Coal
cutting machines are being sent to all
parts of the world, and the foreign de
mand exceeds the ability to supply it,
but very few are in use in this country,
although they reduce the cost of getting
coal from 1 to . shillings a ton com
pared with the hand pick. The latest
machines combine compressed air and
electrical principles, and each cuts one
yard per minute in medium hard coal.

The glory of Billingsgate is fading
away. It seems that owing to the heavy
corporation tolls the trade of Billings
gate is passing to Shadwell, whero the
rents are only half those charged by the
corporation and there are no tolls. The
tolls of Billingsgate amount to about
iil.OOO per annum. The rental charged
for stalls at Billingsgate used to be about
2 cents a foot; now they aro 10 cents,
and the tenants complain of being crush
ed and driven out of tho market. It is
said the corporation has spent $500,000
on a cellar under the market, which is
nothing but a white elephant. London

A rich foreigner who settled in Mar

could bo hermetically sealed, in a cor
ner of his garden, furnished with a re
clining chair, two large candelabra aud
two pans filled with charcoal, ready to
light. He entered the vault frequently,
but not until a fortnight ago did he close
the door and light the charcoal. He was
found dead in the chair. Marseilles

An Old l'oinc Comfort 1 telle Who Hail Her
Self 1'ossesslou anil Spaniel Along.
"Tho most self possessed woman I
ever saw is just now one of tho belles
down at Old Point Comfort," said Ar
thur Spalding of Bridgeport. "She is a.
perfect Juno as to figure, and half tho
manly heads of the place have been
turned by her, and the other half would
give all their hopes of the hereafter to
bo called as she calls her spaniel
Sweetheart. Tho young lady has played
no favorites among her admirers, how
ever, and an examination of her card
at any of tho dances would show a list
of names as different as those on the
register yonder.
"The other day she went up for her
usual promenade on the ramparts of the
fort, aud, as usual, was accompanied by
her aunt, who is her chaperon, one of
her rigid rules being to allow no man
to escort her when she takes her morn
ing constitutional. By some aggravat
ing cause she lost an article which is
an importaut part of the feminine ap
parel. It happened that a bright young
devil of an army officer came along ami
picked it up. He caressed the narrow
strip of blue silk, admired the artistic
workmanship of the gold contraptions
on either uid of it, and upon closer ex
amination deciphered those initials that
agreed with those borne by the charm
ing creature who was swaying along the
path 100 yards in front of him. With
characteristic honesty he hurried after
ber, and catching up handed out tho ar
ticle, with a how of consummate grace,
-aying. 'Miss B.. pardon me, but I be
lieve this property is yours.'
"She thanked him with :t cordiality
that made him almost stutter, and turn
ing to her aunt remarked with apparent
ly unconscious naivete:
'Sweetheart is such :i careless fel
low. Come here, you rascal. ' Then, as
tho spaniel responded to her call, she
fastened the dainty creation around his
neck, and bowing sweetly to the oilicer
passed on, with the wondering animal'
scampering in front of her. If her pet
had been a toy terrier, she would have
been lost. It is scarcely necessary to add
that when Sweetheart returned to the
hotel he was not sporting a blue silk
collar with gold clasps on it." Wash

THE WRONG JURY.
of
A Humorous Incident With r. Touch
I'ntlios In n Louisville Court.
An incident at once affecting and lu
dicrous, which moved judge, jury, coun
sel and spectators to laughter and caused
considerable embarrassment to two la
dies, occurred the other day in tho crim
inal division of the circuit court.
During the trial of a young whi to
man, who was charged with a grave of
fense against the peace and dignity of
the commonwealth, his mother and sis
ter sat just behind him. At the conclu
sion of th.j testimony the jury retired to
their room to consult and decide upon a
verdict.
The second panel was then called, and
the case of William Johnson, a big negro,
blacker than even the proverbial ace of
spades, was tried. The evidence was
clear, and I he trial was soon over. The
jury had been out but a few minutes,
and jury No. i. which had the white
youth's case, was still consulting when
they returned to (las courtroom. j
"Have you readied a conclusion, gen
tlemen?" asked the judge.
""We have," said the foreman, hand
ing the indictment, with the verdict
written on the back, to Clerk Russell.
"We, the jury," read the clerk, "find
tho defendant guilty as charged and fix
his punishment at two years and nino
months"
But he got no further, for (he two la
dies who were awaiting the verdict in
the other case, over which panel No. 1
were still deliberating, broke suddenly
into shrieks, and lamentations. At first
all were surprised to see two nicely
dressed white ladies weeping at the
punishment of a negro, but it was speed
ily recognized that they had mistaken
panel No. 2 for panel No. 1. Jerry Bate,
the "round ami rotund"' deputy sheriff,
undertook to comfort the ladies and
speedily explained to them their mis
take, to the great embarrassment of
both himself and them. Louisville

Contagiousness of Influenza.
A St. Petersburg physician Dr. F.
Clemaw finds a mass of evidence lead
ing to the conclusions that influenza is
constantly present in many parts of Rus
sia; that it began to prevail in epidemic
form in or near the Kirghiz steppes in
the autumn of 1SS'.), the cause of its lx
coming epidemic being unknown; that
it spread from the Kirghiz steppes in all
directions, following the liifesof human
intercourse; that its rate of diffusion
was less rapid than was at first believed
and not more rapid than could be ac
counted for on the theory that it was
spread by contagion alone, and that
there is much positive evidence of the
spread of influenza by contagion in Rus
sia, even near the place of origin of the
epidemic and in the earliest days of its
cour.se.

Tammany Democrats wero ''tho friends

many battles, Captain Croedon, applied
for a police captaincy they only charged
him 81i.000 for it. He paid it and owns

both commend him.

BEFORE 'AFTER
The Inventive Age finds that fifty-five
cities and towns in England now destroy
their garbage by burning. They use an
avorage of ten furnaces each for that
purpose. The Age further says: "The
combustion of the material is used for
tho generation steam, by which the
streets aro electrically illuminated, and
other cities aro reported to bo consider
ing the propriety of reducing their
municipal expenses by tfiis means."
Mrs. T. S. Hawkins, Chattanooga
Tenn., says, "Shiloh's Vitalizer 'saved
jiy life.' . I consider it the bes' remedy
for a debiliated system 1 ever used."
For Dyspepsia, Liver or Kidney trouble

A lot of Chic-igo people have organized
an anti-kissing club, and the darn thing
is said to bo growing. Its object is the
prevention of tho spread of throat and
lung disease. We do no believe the
benefi t to bo derived is commeusurate
with the price to be paid. Sore throat
and tuberculosis have no terrors for us,
and if the society invades our circle,
death will bo shorn of another of its
terrors. York Republican.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who
retires to make way for Tillman, is the
the handsomest and one of the most
polished men in congress- It has been
said of him that he would fan a lady or
light a duel with equal gracp, and it is
certain that he is tho very flower of
Southern chivalry daring, vain, proud
and punctilious. Altogether ho is one
of the last of the cavaliers.
