We regret to record the death of an old and respected resident of Arthurstown in the person of Mrs Caroline Burke whiqh took place this morning. The-deceased had reached the advanced age of 93 years and for the last ten years had been confined to her room. She leaves a, son (Mr August Burke of Arthurstown) and two daughters (Mrs Wrobleski of Arthurstown and Mrs G. ißergmanii of Kanieri) to mourn their loss.

Instances of cargo pillaging continue to be reported, and frequently the loss involved is serious. A Wellington firm has just lost over £SOO worth of goods, all from one case. When the case was opened up there, the £SOO worth of goods originally consigned were missing, and in their place was a bag of sand, of exactly the same gross weight as the goods that were ordered. The goods were an American consignment, and the opinion is held that the case was tampered with before it left the States.

In a message to the meeting of delegates from the Dominion Council of the Boy Scouts Association, Auckland, Lord Jellicoe said:—“l regret v? r y •much that I am not able to attend the meeting. I hope those present may be informed of my deep interest in the movement, and of my confidence that it is one of the utmost importance to the future of the Dominion and the Empire in that its object is to inculcate into the minds of the young pet)* ; pie in whose bands lie our future des--1 tinies, those principles of real citizenship, eomradeslip, duty, honour, and integrity, which will fit them to carry jon, and lead them to peace, happiness, and prosperity.” “The companionship of bad music is equally as dangerous as the companionship of bad people for the young,” asserted Mr Robert Parker during a lec- • ture on music on Saturday evening at Wellington. Ho wished to stress the importance of bringing up children to | the realisation of the value of good ; music. “Children should not be en--1 couraged to fend for themselves as far ! as music is concerned,” he said. “One I has only to pass the music shops and ( see some of the absurd songs in the • windows to realise this fact. I was I passing a shop the other day and saw n song called “You Can’t Find Pimples ] on a Pound of Pickled Pork.” Is this the kind of stuff children should be enI couraged to learn?”

A 1 round of cheers from the company i greeted the centenarian as he rose to | cut the birthday cake, the present of j Mrs Petherick, and to which full jus- | tice was done. Amongst the congratuj latorv messages received was a tele--1 from from His Excellency the Gover- | nor-General, Viscount Jellicoe, as folj lows:—“Her Excellency and I send you hearty congratulations on the one hundred and sixth anniversary of your birthday, and warmest good wishes for , continued good health. Signed, Jellicoe.” The superintendent of the home (Mr P. McKenzie) also conveyed the congratulations of the staff to the j guest of the afternoon. !
