 "This," the tea merchant answered. ''is the best tea in the world, and it is worth 800 or more pound, for this, sir, is the famous Golden Tip. I'll tell you why it is so costly.

You cull more handfuls of undeveloped caves from another chest. and, shnk- Ing them up in the satin, you are again rewarded with some more golden fun.

IN COURT AGAIN
The BaiGs's Brothers We're Be- for a LoDg Island City
 Magistrate To-day.

New York, Aug 2S.-Captain Peter c. Hains, who shot and killed William E. Annis at Bayside, L. L., nearly two weeks ago, and Captain Hains's brother, T. Jenkins Hains, a writer for magazines, who, it is charged, held the spectators at bay while the captain did the killing, were arraigned in magistrate S court in Long Island City to-day on a charge of murder. The two men were taken into court soon after the killing of Annis, but there was no hearing of the case until to-day.
 T. Jenkins Hains is accused Of being an accessory to the murder, while the captain is alleged to be the principal. The announced inten- tion of Captain Hains's counsel to plead insanity as his defense togeth- CT with sensational charges which Captain Hains's counsel have mace against the captains wife, involving an alleged confession by her of im- proper friendship for Annis, have given the case unusual interest. It was not expected that all the phase of the case would be disclosed at the hearing to-day and it will be only necessary for the district attorney to produce sufficient evidence to hold the accused men for a grand jury which has already been ordered by Governor Hughes. It was expected however, that the counsel for T Jenkins Hains would endeavor to have the charges against him dis missed on the ground that he tool no actual part in the killing ano that all he did was to protect hi; brother.
 The Hains brothers were taker from the Queens county jail hand cuffed together and rode on stree car in the custody of deputy sher if to Magistrate Gilroys court. Cap tain Hains, who when he last ap peared in court wore the uniform of his army rank, to-day was clat in citizens clothes and his pallol and unshaven appearance indicated | the effects of his confinement in jail His brother showed no effects of hi Imprisonment. .t / After a short hearing the tw' men were held without bail for th, action of grand jury on a charg' of murder of William E.

STANDS BY GUNS
Governor Fort of New Jersey Says He Means Every Word
 of His Proclamation
TO FIGHT GAMBLERS

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug 2S.-Gov- ernor Fort made the following state ment to-day concerning his proclana- tion of yesterday and the defiance of Atlantic City that he dare not call out the militia to enforce the Bishop law.
 T will stand on my proclamation unequivocally. I mean every word. The people will learn that l am not attempting to intimidate by threats. !"
 Through a member of Governor Forts summer cabinet" it was learned to-day that before issuing his proclamation yesterday he sound ed the attitude of various leaders in the legislature and was given assur- ances that if he called special ses- sion they would provide whatever as sistance he required to enforce the laws at Atlantic City, even to the necessity of patrolling the resort with troops and placing it under martial law. Thereupon the proclamation | was issued with the threat to call a special session.
 But, it is said on the same aI- thority, that the governor did not re- | ceive the same assurances on his de- | sire to obtain authority for the re- moval of officers who fail to per | form their duty. He has asked the legislature for this power in the past | and it has been enied.
 It is fully believed here that on next Sunday Atlantic City will con tinue its defiance of the government and will be wide open as in the past. Advices have reached the governor already that such would be the case and there can be no doubt that the call for the special session of the legislature will follow. If issued the call will probably appear on Tuesday and will denounce Atlantic City in terms even more severe than the proclamation of yesterday.
