DAMAGE SUIT ENDED.
Litigation Gives Place to Compro-
mise Between Parties.

A compromise has been effected in the
case of the Arthur Jordan Company against
the National Glue Company for damages
for injury done to property by smoke and
SCOT from the defendants factory at Thir-
teenth street and the canal.
The Arthur Jordan Company complained
that smoke and SCOT from the factory
ruined a considerable amount of ice be-
longing to the plaintiffs. Judge feathers
held that there were grounds for damages,
II il could be proved that the defendants
had not taken sufficient precaution to pre-
vent its smoke from becoming a nuisance.

COUNCILMEN HAD
FEW MATTERS.
To Engage Their Attention
Last Night.
REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL.
But Aside From Discussing Routine
Business and Auditing Bills There
Was Nothing Doing-Session an Un-
interesting One.

Very near a full aldermanic board
greeted Mayor Hawkins last night
when he convened the council in regu-
lar session, and though the business
transacted was scarcely out of routine
an hour or two was consumed while
the gas meter worked steadily.
After reading and confirming the
minutes of the previous meeting the
solons got down to business.
The improvements to be made ct
Oakgrove Cemetery. and also the grad
ing of Church street at that point,
were discussed at length aud sugges-
tions made as to other betterments
there.
Council also discussed the subject,
already introduced, of deciding to the
state the Confederate plat In Oakgrove
Cemetery, but thus far no action has
been taken. tits quite probable, how
ever, that in the end the property will
go to the state, as has been requested.
Formal action was taken relative to
the proposed appropriation of $500 to
the state building for the Worlds Fair,
the solons declining to make any APP
preparation whatever to that end.

Shopping In Japan

japanese ceremOniOuSneSS makes it a
serious matter going to Il Japanese shop
unless you are going to buy silk hand
kerehiefs-the only things foreigners
buy often enough to spoil tie manners
of the shopkeeper You get out of your
rickShaW, and the riukshaW boy eX-
plains your high and mightiness. Then
all the attendants in the shop salaam till
you wish they would get up and let
you catch their eye and explain what
you want. When they 10 get up the
Japanese equivalent of the shopwalker
and three or four counter jumpers in
rotation ask You to repeat your order
while they offer you five cups Of tea.
1t is Japanese tea, and there is no milk
or sugar. but you can have sailed cher
ry blossoms if you want if it is Il good
shop. This is the japanese way of of
fering the customer Il drink Good
Japanese shops contain nothing except
the attendants. When yen have got
as far as explaining what you want
the proprietor gives orders to attend
ants. Off they go at run good serv-
ants always run-and bring back the
goods tied up in faded green silk hand
kerchiefs or green cotton cloths.
