BON TON THEATRE.
INDIAN TEAS.
Increase in the Amount Brought Il
This Country Last Year.

hA0 ~
The general committee of the Indian
Tea Association Gondon) refers in its
annual report just issued to the special
efforts that are being successfully made
to develop the market for British-grown
tea in the United States. The most note
worthy point since the last annual meet
ing has been, 1t observes, the cordial CO.
operation Of Ceylon. Private firms and
others engaged in Introducing Indian tea
to the American public have been sup
ported to the extent of the funds avail
able both by grants of money in aid of
advertising and by substituting lin con-
junction with Ceylon) packet teas and
blends of India and Ceylon.
Tn quantity of Indian and Geylon tea
imported by the United States and Can
ada last year was over 5000, 600 pounds, or
nearly 80 per cent. increase. In agree
ment with the in Calcutta it
has been decided to continue the Ameri-
can operations for at least another year.
Up to June 81 The sum OF $500 had been
spent in this work. and a further levy
is being made. 1t Is proposed, if the funds
permit, to support efforts to extend new
markets in Russia, South Africa and
other Places
The committee announces that there is
a fair prospect for Indian tea in South
Africa, and that in Russia the field is a
promising one and capable of consider
able development. The bulk Of the Indian
tea at present consumed in the Cars
dominions is exported by way of Ger
many. During the last season the total
delivery of tea in the United Kingdom
was 6,7S3.G0 pounds more than in 1876.
India and Ceylon each increased its con-
tribution by upward of 5000. goo pounds.
Java remained stationary. and China de-
creased by 5.477,e 900 pounds. The Doot-
erin, Kalsj Valley and Tong Song tea

DISGRACE TO THE ToRoE.



"You are a disgrace to the force" was
the comment made on the conduct OF
Policeman Richard Winters. OF Hoboken.
who yesterday afternoon. IN the Court OF
General Sessions, by his false swearing.
nearly sent an innocent man to prison for
a long term.
Julius Johnson, a sailor on the liner
Paris, was discharged a few days ago
and went to a boarding hous on Hudson
street, Hoboken. OF the sixteen dollars
wages he had spent SIX dollars, and by
mistake went into the room OF another
sailor, Charles Tryen. Tryon discovered
nat his money was missing and accused
Johnson. Policeman Winters arrested
the man. and yesterday he was on trial
for robbery.
The policeman swore that he searched
Johnson and found concealed in a pocket
in his shirt the money. IS, which Tryon
said he had lost. The prisoner had no
witnesses and no counsel. but he per-
sisted that the money found was his
own. n the officer never took any money
from him.
winters said Judge Hudspeth, adj
dressing the policeman, ARE you sure
you took that money from the pocket in
his shirt"
Yes. sir"
johnson sprang up and taking OFF his
coat exhibited to the Court his blue
woollen shirt marked in front with red
letters. IS. s. Paris" and opening Ii,
showed to the Court that there was no
pocket there.
What do mean. officer. by telling the
Court on oath that you took the money
from a pocket when there was none
there?' sternly asked the Court.
The policeman hung his head, turned a
4sep crimson. muttered something about
lifting up the prisoners coat and shirt.
and the money dropped from either the
one or the other.
Yet you swore deliberately the oppo-
site way i~nterposed Prosecutor Win
field. OF are a disgrace. Your honor.
/ shall not press for q conviction
"Acquft that man." said Judge Huds-
peth. turning to the jury and ii was ac.
cordingly done. Johnson's money was
returned to him., and left the Court with
eyes.
