The COntented Javans.

The Javans live much In public, and
the poorer classes, instead OF eating
their meals at home, as is the manner
of the unsociable Hindoo, seem usually
to breakfast and dine at one Of the itjn-
Grant cook-shops to be found at every
street corner, according TO Blackwood' \
Magazine. More exclusive people may
be seen buying the small packets of
curry and rice wrapped In fresh plan
tain leaves and pinned with bamboo
splinters which are intended for home
consumption.
To stroll down a village street and
watch the culinary operations in pro-
gress at wayside eating shops was an
unfailing source of amusement, and
very clean and appetizing they looked,
though the smell was occasionally
somewhat trying to the European nose.
The Jayans, like all relocating people,
are fond of pungent and evil smelling
sauces, and equivalents of the Burman
gnapee and Japanese bean soy are in
constant requisition.
The natives, and especially the chill
dren. look fat and healthy and appear
to enjoy life under easy conditions.
though they are, generally speaking.
OF grave demeanor and are not endowed
with the unfailing vivacity which dis
tinguishes the Burmans and Japanese.
During the six weeks that we spent on
the Island we did not see half dozen
beggars, and, except In cities. certainly
not that number of policemen.

TRULY A LITERARY FEAST.

food, but had never eaten any. At last

Large pots were hung over the fire,

The blaze was bright, heat furious. the
water boiled vehemently but the bags
did not soften, whatever might be said
Fof the contents. Perhaps the cooks
thought them old ones. and grew tired
OF waiting.
The packages were taken from the
pots and divided, that each guest might

WON'T STAND ANY NONSENSE.
Commander Of the Marblehead an 0ld-Time
Volunteer Naval Officer.

II. I. Seldom. OF this city. has received
from friend on board the cruiser Mar
blehead, now stationed at Bluefields, a
letter which says. referring to the re-
port that the American flag had been in
suited there during the exciting days
following the rccapture of that place by
the Nicaraguans.
Instead OF 1900 men there we're hardly
five hundred, and as 10 the hauling down
OF the American nag, be very sure our
Captain would not stand that hve Sec
onds.
ITO show you what sort of man he Is,
a report reached us not long ago that
three steamers in the banana trade, LAX
Ing on load Of bananas at place
called Rama sixty miles up the river
from the coast. and flying our flag, had
been seized by the Nicaraguans. our
Captain jumped into his steam launch,
steamed up that sixty miles, demanded
the instant surrender of those steamers
and got them in great deal less time
than II takes to tell 1t.
He IL an old-time volunteer naval off,
Ger and won't stand any nonsense from
the Mosquito Indians. the Nicaraguans
or the English, either. for that matter.
AS for the transport of Nicaraguan
1t was this way: We sighted a small
steamer coming in from the southwark,
and, on throwing, the search light ON 1t,
found her covered with armed men. She
being nearer to her, signalled her to show
her colors. She did not do 50. where
upon the Columbia sent a cutter In
charge of a lieutenant and United States
| blue Jackets, who boarded that little
steamer with 500 armed Nicaragran sol
ders on board. The lieutenant
| stationed his boats crew In different
| Vital parts of that steamer and then a
| United States buejacket hoisted the
Stars and Stripes, and Mr. Engishman
Uhe British warship did nothing but
| look on.
| THE truth IL. the English are jealous
| Of American interests in the NicaraRuan
| Canal. If the Indians were to be made
entirely independent, England in some
way or other would obtain II foothold
here. when she would establish a naval
| station, and eventually hold the key to
| the Nicaraguan Canal
But as long as the United States has

THE TRUST NQQLQBE. QUIET
But Miller 4 Co., Of Jersey City, Insist
on DissolYins the American
Tobacco Company.
rHg ROWS ALL OYER CIGARETTES.
Attorney General Stockton Tells Why His
Name Was Used in the Actions
Already Brought.

Miller & CO.. of Newark. N. j.. job
,he Court of Chancery of New Jersey
some weeks ago to dissolve the corpora
zion legally known as the American To.
bacco Company and more commonly
designated the Tobacco Trust"
Attorney General John p. Stockton
was made informant in the case under
. the rules of the New Jersey courts, end
this week, as stated In The World yes
terday morning, Walter Clary, New
Jersey Supreme Court Commissioner,
began to take the testimony CT New
York witnesses IN his office in the Mu-
tuol Life Insurance Building.
Fol- some reason or other the Amer
lean Tobacco Company desires to con-
ceal from the public the details of the
attack made upon 1t. 1t also desires to
keep out of the newspapers any refer
ence to the testimony taken.
In It's efforts to accomplish these ends
an agent was sent to the New York
newspapers this week with request
all reference 10 the hearings. The rea-
son urged by the agent of the trust for
making thi. request was that the suit
had not bean brought In good faith
but was al. attempt to blackmal the
agent that Attorney General Stockton
had not bee actuated by proper motives
when he permitted the use Of his rame
bribed.
The counsel for Miller & Co. are Nc
r. &cc MsesrtsT Of s
the senior member Of the firm, Is one of
the four or five foremost lawyers of his
State. The New York legal, representa-
Wednesday, are Einstein & Townsend,
No. 81 Liberty street.
When Attorney-General John p. Stock
ton was informed at his office in the
alleged motives for bringing the suit and
Of the charge against himself personally,
he was much surprised. He said that he
knew nothing about the case except what
In the Court Of Chancery, and that he
did not care to defend himself against
any such ridiculous accusation. After
q time, however. he consented to dictate
to his .stenographer the following state
ment:
4 is said have brought against the Tobacco
ing on the part Of the State OF New Jersey or
the Attorney General. but the Attorney Generals
name is used on the relation OF private parties
as the proper form Of bringing the action. l

Of M e. Thomas E1sSs, n Of Nswa
.hu MT rfeueiic VI ste'ens' VI the same city,
two Of the most influential and prominent law
yers In the State.
In our practice. where It is necessary to use
the Attorney Generals name and the suit does
not Immediately concern the rights OF the
State, the Attorney General is not supposed to
have any personal knowledge OF the matter. but
the facts stated the relation OF persons
whose names inserted in the Information
and who are termed REALTORS. This is the pro-
ceeding which has been instituted. 1t is not
true a. stated that any Of the counsel con-
cerned are acting In the interest Of the Attorney
General.

CORONER'S JURY'S TWO YERDICTS

After two hours elaboration the Coro-
ner's Jury summoned to hear evidence
in the shooting which resulted In the
death Of Frederick bergman at South
Beach some weeks ago rendered two
verdicts last night. One was signed by
eleven OF the Jurors.
This verdict holds Thomas Burke.
Bergman's father-in-law, responsible
for the death Of the young man.
The second verdict Ia signed by Jury
man Lemon. 1t states that Bergman
came to his death as the result of a
wound from a gun trap set by Thomas
Burke. 1t does not state explicitly that
Burke Is responsible.
When the Verdicts had been rendered
Burke addressed the assemblage, and
said:
II deny the charge, gentlemen. 1t Ia
based on false evidence. l had nothing
to do with the mans death, no more
than II had never seen him. He did
1t himself, by his own recklessness. in
entering my private apartments. where
he had no business"
Coroner Halloran committed Burke to
the County Jail to await the action OF
the Grand Jury.

wouldn't light. Yung had also worn a

near the truth as can bo ascertain
cd at this time:
The constables had performed
their duty III Darlington and five
went to the Charleston, Sumter and
Northern depot to take the train
while the others, eighteen in num-
Der, went to tho Cheraw and Dar-
lington depot to take the train
there. The tram was behind time
and tho constables sat and stood
around waiting for it to come
along. Three or four of the citi-
zens of Darlington were standing
around, waiting for the train also.
