BEAUTIFUL JAVA.
Its Scenery Said to He an Example of rrop
 ical Perfection.

If. Scenery Said to He an Example of rrop'
 ical Perfection.
 The scenery of Java is, I think, trop ical perfection No sameness in the landscape wearies the eye. All is val lev and mountain, cultivated with beautiful crops-irrigated ricefelds, emerald-green stretches of tall, waving maize, small thickets of bamboos gracefully bending to the breeze-or covered with tropical verdure only eoualed in beauty by the forests of south America. Being only midday when we arrived at Tassikmalaya we ordered tiftin and two carts to be ready an hour later to take us on a 25 mile stage to Bandjar. So at two o'clock we were once more en route in the usual conveyances of small awn- inr-covcred carts-each drawn by three ponies-one for ourselves and the other for the baggage. For the first few hours we passed frequently through small villages where the ponies were watered and our drivers chatted with the fruit-sellers and smoked small, tapering cigarettes, which they bought for quarter-pen. ny the packet
 The last part of the journey was through tall jungle, and as the sun had set some two hours before our ar rival at our destination it was no easy matter for the drivers to keep the road in the inky darkness. Finally. a long, steep hill took us down from the com. parative coolness of high altitude in- to the fetid swamps where lies the town of Bandjar. At first sight you would think these swamps inha bited, in such myriads do the fireflies fit to and fro or hang motionless, lamplike, in the misty air, giving one the idea of the lights of some distant village. All the natives here, as elsewhere in the island, hold the white man in great awe, and as you pass along all doff their huge brimmed hats and some kneel by the wayside. In such towns in the interior as Bandjar there are no hotels, but the Dutch government provides free stopping houses for trav- elers-dirty, tumble-down places for the most part-where a caretaker will look after them for consideration Westminster Review.

UNNATURAL ACTIONS.
CHARLES DRABAND COMMITS
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
Proof Not Quite Sufficient for Grsver
Charge He Offers IpdiRnities toa
Sixteen. Year.OId Girl and At.
tempts to shoot an officer.


Sixteen. Year.OId Girl and At
tempts to Shoot an officer.
Charles Draband, for a number Of
years, has been no good to himself or his
family, but up to about two years ago a
semblanoe at housekeeping was kept up
in Washington avenue, near Spring street.
Mrs. Draband furnished most of the sup
port for the family Of several children.
One day, while engaged at ber work, a
gasoline can exploded and the burning
fluid was scattered over her clothing
She was so badly burned that she died
soon efter. Officers took charge Of the
family and homes were found in Massil-
lon for the youngest two. They were
later removed to the Children's Home,
where they now remain. The others,
with their father, attempted housekeeping
in the south end Of town, but rumors Of
alleged revolting conduct OIL the part Of
the father reached the ears Of the authOri-
ties and change took place. Then the
father and one daughter, Minnie, took up
room In the Vogelgesang building.
The other children are scattered about,
but earning an honest livelihood.
Draband was employed at George G.
Lindsay's harness establishment, and is
good workman, but shiftless. Miss
Emma Stevens, whose father resides in
the country and whose mother lives in
Dewalt street, went to the Draband
room Thursday night to remain with her
friend, Draband's daughter. The father
came horne and created O disturbance
The Stevens GIRL who will be II years of
age in January, complains Of indignities
offered her by Draband and she made her
escape form the room. Officers found her
in frightened condition and learned her
story. The daughter was not thought to be
safe with her father and Officers Reinhart
Hasler and Dorland went up stairs to
take her along with the Stevens girl. The
father objected, picked up shotgun and
was about to fire, when Officer Reinhart
caught him by the throat and choked him
until he was submissive. He was then
taken to headquarters and the girls were
also taken there. This morning they told
their story TO the mayor and Prosecutor
Bow. The proof is not sufficient for a
graver chsrge, and one of assault and
battery was therefore placed against
Draband.
Draband was given trial, found
guilty by Mayor RlJe and sentenced to
pay fine of $50 and costs and spend sixty
days in the workhouse.

HUMMER DISCHARGED.
He Pays Up and the COlumbiana
County Grand Jury Fails
to IndiCt.

The trials and tribulations that have
increasingly beset G. W. Hummer, the
shoe dealer, since his advent in Lisbon,
a year and half ago, appear to have
finally ended in the nolle prosequi en-
tered in the Columbiana county court
last week, in the case wherein he had
been indicted for obtaining merchandise
by false pretenses. The prosecutors were
a Cleveland wholesale shoe firm, and it Is
understood they used the Indictment
simply as a means of collecting doubt
full debt, and so soon as Mr.. Hummer paid
their claim it became impossible to find
the prosecuting witness. 1t would thus
appear that the grand jury can sometimes
he transformed into collection agency.
Hummer, it will be remem bered, shipped
a lot of goods to Canton, and they were
recovered here.

POTATO PATCHES.
Canton Township Trustees Will Give
the Poor Chance to Help
Themselves.

Canton township trustees met at their
rooms in the courthouse basement Satur-
day evening, and a number of matters
came up. One Of the most important was
the decision to establish gardens to raise
potatoes and other vegetables for the
poor. Those deserving aid will thus be
given an opportunity to help themselves.
The same plan has been tried in many
places over the country, but this is the
first time 1t has been attempted in this
county. If 1t proves successful, more
farms will probably be leased and the
scheme continued Indefinitely. The de-
mands made upon the township trustees
by the poor of the township, and espeo-
tally of this city, are greater than the rev.
enue derived from the taxes Of the prop
erty holders. IL Is to prevent the increase
of the tax rate that this new plan is to be
given trial.

chased two tickets to New York, one of
which was presented to Miss Jacob. Dur
ing the progress Of arrangements, i'm
mediately previous TO the hour, young
lady associate Of Miss Jacob gave the sit
uation away, and this resulted in the girl
being caught, as she was on her way to
the station. and compelled TO return home
A News Democrat man called on the
young lady this morning and at first she
said thsre was nothing in the report and
assumed authority to forbid the publlca-
tion of the facts. She finally made her
