telling a cad story of betrayal and

OF the graphic story in Hugo's
Les Missrables. The Landmark
speaks out forcibly and truthfully
as follows:

Florida Oranges Improving.

There ~ A. sOme improvement In Flor
ida oranges this week. But demand,
though hotter than last week, still Is short
of what would be- expected at this time
and trade drags along.
The fruit which came this week was
distinct improvement in color, flavor and
condition. Coupled with this is the fact
of diminishing receipts from Jamaica,
which leads receivers here to believe that
the turn for the better will be permanent.
II Il expected that in two weeks FLORIDA
oranges will be all that they should be.
One receiver here, who was In Florioa
recently and knows the situation there
thoroughly, said the opinion printed In
these columns last week that many OF
the Objectionable qualities In the fruit are
due 20 the newness of the growers was
correct. He said another trouble had
haen the manner of handling the fruit In
Florida.

HIGH SHERIFF BROWN BEFORE
ESTEE.
Holds The Property of Bankrupt in
Alleged Contempt of The United
States Court.

High Sheriff Brown was before Unit
ed States Judge Estee this morning to
answer for contempt for refusing to
turn over some property held by him
under judgment of Judge Wilcox, on
the order of referee Thompson appoint
ed. by Judge Estee to look into the af-
fairs of Lum Nam Suk bankrupt.
Lum Nam Suk was adjudged a bank
rupt by Judge EStee on July 49, He
has about $4,000 worth of property in
a Chinatown store, as assets and liza
bilities of about $4,000. In the District
Court of Honolulu, Grinbaum & Com
pany obtained a judgment for 1888 and
the property was seized by the High
Sheriff
Attorney w. w. Thayer trustee for
the bankrupt, brought the contempt
proceedings being unable to get possess
sion of the property and the High Sher-
in was called into court for the pur-
pose of securing an order from Estee
as to the property. Brown held that
he had no ripht to release the seized
goods, under the order from Judge Will
cox
The answer of the High Sheriff was
to the effect that he had acted under
orders from the District Court, before
the United States court had declared
Nam Suk a bankrupt. Judge Estee
wanted to see the writ of execution is
sued by Judge Wilcox, but il was not in
court. Attorney Wilder for the sheriff
and Thayer for the bankrupt agreed
that there was such a writ but Estee
refused to proceed without a copy of it
In court, and the case was postponed
until the attorneys produced it.
