'l’lie death occurred this morning a> 12. d o'clock of Mr Klias (Tim) Rear, one of the best known members for many years of the J\ and T. staff at Greymouth. The deceased, who was about 45 years of age. had been conlined to heel for the past week witlran attack of pneumonia, and his condition became gradually more serious until death supervened. A very efficient telegraphist, the late Mr Kenr was also a talented violinist and took a prominent part hi various local orchestras. He was of a very genial disposition, and was a very popular figure, whose passing a wide circle of friends will sincerely regret. He leaves a wife and young family, while he is also survived by several brothers, including Mr H. Rear, of the Railway Department. Many friends will regret to learn of the death of Mrs Sarah Amelia Buxtef, of Greymouth, who passed away last eye icing at 8,30 o’clock, after an illness, lasting some little time, at the Grey Hospital. A native of Tnjpo, Christchurch Road, whore site was born 0! years ago, deceased had resided here far many years, and was predeceased about lour years ago by her husband, the late '! hennas Baxter, a well-known sawmiller. She leaves two daughters, (Mrs Ross Clark, of Tauranga, and Miss Isolk>l Baxter, of Greymouth), and one son, Mr John Baxter of Greymouth. She is also survived by j four sisters and seven brotheis, the | sisters being Alesdames Yalder (Pukekoho), Isdale (Rotorua), IV. A. Main (Christchurch), and Chalmers (Ross); while the brothers .are Messrs A. S. and H. A. Cunningham (Taipo), J. J. and \V. IT. Cunningham (Christchurch) R„ Cunningham (Timaru), A. Cunningliam (Morrinsvale), and R. S. Cunningham (Greymouth), The interment will be a private one. It must require some nerve for a man to walk into a boarding house in the dead of night and ransack the clothes of the sleeping boarders, but one of the cult (says the Christchurch Tillies) visited a Christchurch house twice on Saturday morning, once at 2 a. ill when lie was seen and had to get away by the fire escape, and again at about 4 when he dodged down the backstairs and cycled off. He got enough money to keep him for a week or so, and if he had not been interrupted would probably have got more, ns few of the rooms were locked. As the main doors were unlocked lie had no difficulty in getting into the house, and lie left the back gate, leading to a street, open, so his plans were evidently well laid, In spite of such visits to hoarding houses most hoarders get, very careless and not only leave flieir money easily accessible, but neglect the simple precautions of locking their doors. Thoughtless hoarders make the work of these midnight visitors comparatively easy. A writer in the Economic Record, with the assistance of past census returns has worked out the distribution of incomes in this country in a readily understandable form, which >hovs : ays the Amldand Star) ‘hat not only >Tew Zealand gaining an aristocracy of wealth, but creating unexpectedly sharp distinctions in classifications of a financial kind. The incomes of most » persons working on their own account, i without staff, do not exceed £312 per i year, and most earn under £2OB. Thir- j ty out each hundred of employers come c within the same limits as those first , nomad, so that in many eases ‘‘it , pays better to be a salaried manager j than an employer”; 48 per cent, of \ such managers were earning an aver- ] age of £364 per annum at the date of 1 last census. Of workers under 21, 66 } < per cent, earned between £52 and £155 each year, and 65 per cent, of girl wage earners gave tlie same returns—an indication of sex equality in the labour market. Dividing the total of earned incomes equally between those working gives an average of £4 6s per week individually.
