BUTCHERS' WAGES

By Telegraph-Tress ABnoctation. Auckland, November i. Employers in the butchery business have decided that they could not agreo to the demands of the men for increased pay. The union secretary slittes that tho matter will have to ho fought out, and the position would resolve into a, strike on Friday week if tho demands were not granted. After stealing a pearl necklace with a 'diamond pendant, valued'at ,£2OO, from a room of an American hospital nurse, a yalet in a Paris hotel handed it over to a friend. The friend offered tho nc.cklacs to an ice cream vendor in the Tuileries for 95., but as the vendor had not enough money on him tho friend of the thief accepted two glasses of ice cream for tho necls.'aco, which was later recovered. The warm glow of Southern California has for those who remember it a charm and fascination nil its own. Add to this gonial southern warmth, the sparklo of American humour, the refined polish of modem education, the passion of a noble enthusiasm for humanity, the persuasive eloquence of 'i woman's tongue, and yon lhave a combination magnetic, exhilarating, unique. Such is Mrs. Eva' Craven Wheeler, who spanks ati St. John's Hall this (Wednesday) evening. This is your one and only opportunity to hear her.— Advt.
