FOUNDING A NEW SECT.
tScrlpps News Association)
Hans, July 20 A few days ago a pe
culiar looking individual made hit appear
ance on the Boulevards, creating consid
erable interest and curiosity by his pe
culiar garb and actions. He is a tall man
with long hair and beard, is clad in a
white monk's robe, and wears sandals on
his bare feet. Those who accost him re
ceive the answer: "I am'Mava, and these
who follow me are Meva."
This queer fellow, it appears, is a
Dutchman by birth, named Salomonson.
He has been in the consular service, and
spent some time in Java, where he be
came imbued with a new semi-religious
creed, for which he now seeks to mane
propaganda.
This modern apostle only eats raw
fruit, vegetables and nuts. No liquid of
any sort, he claims, has passed his lips
since September, 1901. He eschews
salt, which he says, is the root of all evil
and illness. All these interesting partic
ulars are set forth in a pamphlet printed
in four languages, which this exponent of
the ultrasimple life presents to those who
appear interested.
