A. M. Jacob, Aid to Marion Crawford, Rudyard Kipling and Madame Bla- vatsky, Seek $1,250,000 From Present Nizam of Hyderabad. London.—One of the most sensation- &l and romantic lawsuits ever hear in India will be up for a hearing :n Calcutta shortly. Action has been brought by A. M. Jacob, late of Simia, now living in Bombay, against the present Nizam of Hyderabad. Jacob 18 widely known in America as the hero of Marion Crawford’s novel, “Mr. Isaacs,” as the original of Lurgsh Sahib, maker of rich pearls in Kipling's “Kim.” He also is said to have taught the late Mme, Blavatsky, one of the founders of the American Theosophical society, more about oc- cultism than she had ever dreamed of. The suit {8 a sequel to an amazing transaction, almost twenty-five years ago by the late Nizam of Hyderabad and Jacob over the imperial diamond now in possession of the new Nizam. s diamond, one of the finest in the worid and worth a fortune, was bought for the late nizam by Jacob when the latter was at his power in Simla. Only part of the money was paid, but the diamond was never given up. Again and again Jacob has sought permission to sue the nizam for the recovery of money owing, $1,260,000. That permission has always been re- fused, but at the Durbar, through the help of Maj. Gen. Stuart Beatson, aido de camp of King George, Jacob's long standing grievance wae put before the king, who said he would see what could be done, Lord Hardinge, viceroy, has now agreed to the action and when the case comes on some names that are house- hold words, including two viceroys of Indla, one of them Lord Curzon, the private, as opposed to the public lite of viceroys will be given. Financed by a friend and confident of a triumph- ant verdict, Jacob undertakes the task with all his heart in it. For years he has been living In Bombay with little money, due to the disastrous diamond transaction; whereas he was one of the richest men in India. Former adviser of no less than four viceroys and confidante of every fashionable and beautiful woman—in fact, uncrowned king of Simla—he taught Kipling much ot what he knew of India. He made name and early fame for Marion Craw- | ford, who sat at his feet tn Delhl, -| Simla. When at the height of his fame and | power when all Simla was flocking to his wonderful seances and his house, gtocked with precious etones and or- naments, was the most fashionable in Simla, the story of the fateful imperial diamond began, The story is a long one and per-| haps the most amazing that could be told outside of fiction. It shows in- trigue at its height and the action of Lord Lansdowne, who at the time was ' viceroy, in the sale of the diamond was remarkable. Put very briefly, to be recalled in a sensational fashion is this: Jacob was approached by the late Nizam of Iyderabad to purchase for him the famous imperial diamond, then on sale in London. Jacob obtairad the stone and offered it to the nizam | nizam accepted | for $1,250,000. The and paid Jacob $250,000 on account. He tcok the stone and never paid un- other rupee, The sale had been stopped by the president of Hyderabad, who acted, it is alleged, under the influence of Lord | Lansdowne, who had quarreled with Jacob. Not only did Jacob lose the money he pald out to obtain the dia- mond, but soon after was sued by the nizam of Calcutta on the charge of cheating. The case lasted 57 days and ate up most of Jacob’s money and drove him from Simla. He won the cage, but never recetved the diamond back and never got a rupee of the money due him, At last Jacob will have a chance he has long awaited to sue the present nizam. He could not sue without the permigsion of the government of Ind:a. CISTERN FULL OF HARD CIDER Cause of Neighborhood Drunkenness Discovered After a Year Had Gone By.

Phone 337 Lakeland VANITY BAG AS A GIFT Most Appropriate Offering for the Young Lady Who Is About to Graduate. Many of your young friends will graduate this year and you are, no doubt, wondering what to give them. | Why not make them each a vanity bag? They are dainty and extremely useful, therefore any girl would be delighted to possess one. It requires twelve inches of four-inch wide ribbon of a plain design. Baste an inch-wide hem at each end and embroider a row of briarstitching an inch from the edge on all sides of the ribbon. Fold | the ends over and neatly whipstitch the sides together. Thread narrow satin ribbon through the top to form a drawstring, and fin- ish the ends with rosettes of the rib- bon. If desired, the center of the tiny vanity bag can be decorated with an | embroidered monogram or a wreath of forget-me-nots and follage em- broidered with pale pink, blue or white silk to match the ribbon used. This latter makes an especially dainty decoration, and is easily done, as the flowers are not padded. A wreath formed of miniature rosebuds, daisies | or violets wc®ld be equally effective. ! Within the bag place a handkerchief, tiny mirror, powder puff, cake of pow- der and a piece of pinked flannel con- taining black and white pins. This little vanity bag can be placed in the pocket of the evening coat or in the | muff, and is always ready to ald milady when the occasion demands.
