We have yet to learn the why and wherefore of the cablegram that four Washington belles, daughters of distinguished Government officials, have committed suicide within a month. The Australians have won the third test match. There are still two more matches to play. We could better forecast t*" 1 result did we but know «*-* " „„..,■-•" ttt* „._.•• ... ■.-<*» *n« BQtUßg on ._. .eautts hava b«eu.

B, Rhodes was • seized, with an apoplectic fit in the Main street and had to be taken to his home. Dr Jones was called into him. '■ Walter Pennington was charged before Mr Alf. Fraser J.P. on Monday with befog drunk and was convicted and discharged, i He was further charged with, whilst being a prohibited person he did get drink. As this is a charge which can only be heard by an S.M. he was remanded to Thursday. The Police on the course had luckily, no work to do, but of course their presence there was exceedingly desirable. The old auctionieririg firm of T. Kennedy Maodoaald and Go. of Wellington has been wound op voluntarily and the aasets and business sold to Mr Alexander L. Wilson, who intends continuing the business. We understand that Mr F Eure the popular manager of Mr F. Loveday'd drapery business in Foxton has purchased the Wanganui business.

On Thursday the S.M. holds a court at Foxton when the horse ' Stealing case will be gone into. The police appear as prosecutors. It is probable that the following day O'Neil will be brought before the local Justices on the charge of stealing a horse and boots, and also with breaking out of the local lockup. In the interest taken in our Annual Carnival we advise that the important nswa from (he Old World be not overlooked as the utterances of British Statesmen appear of very serious moment, and the probabilty of war i 3 very great. If anything averts thi3 dire calamity it will bo the direct speaking of the British Government and the endorsement of their aotion by the leading members of the Opposition.
