LONDON, March 19
Inquiries made in his native Cornish village of Stithians, to which the late James Trewin, according to a cable from Wellington. New Zealand, left thirty thousand sterling in trust for the poor, show that there are few unemployed persons or eases of real poverty in the village, though there are many people with slender earnings. The majority are engaged in granite quarryug and agriculture. The sister of James, Eliza Trewin, who is nearly eighty years of age, still lives at Stithians. James Trewin had a small shoemaker’s' business here nearly forty years ago.
