The pendant lost by Mr Walker and advertised for, has iseen returned to him. Mr A. Franco was the successful tenderer for building a residence for Mr James Symons. An advertiser has three large, airy, rooms to let with every convenience and handy to the town. The Rev. Mr O’Neill, a Church of England curate, who has been doing slum work in Redfern N.S. Wales has been attacked by plague. Messrs F. H. Wood and Sons Ltd., will hold the sale of a flaxmill plant at their rooms Greytown, to-morrow at 2 p.m. Holiday excursion tickets will be issued to Wellington and New Plymouth from 30th May to 3rd June, available for return till 24th June. President Roosevelt has offered a warship to bring Lord Pauncefote's remains to England. The American papers publish warm tributes to the late Lord Pauncefote. They describa him as a peacemaker and as a friend of America.

The recent earthquakes destroyed eight cities in Guatemala, killing thousands of parsons. “ The Times ” says the New South Wales loan was a remarkable success. It was covered tenfold.

The next English and European mail, via San Francisco, will close at the local office oa the 4th day of June, at 8 p.m. The Post Office officials, whose royolty is unquestioned, will observe a close holiday on Tuesday next, and the telegraph officials will do as little as possible. It is notified in our advertising columns that a certain number of rate payers desire the Mayor to taka a poll upon the rating, whether it shall be as now, rental, or upon the unimproved value. There is much to be said on both sides, the question is however if there is anyone to say it. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, in a speech at Darlington, said his recent reference to barbarism was directed against the Government whose policy was so cruel that officers and soldiers loathed having to execute it. Sir Henry compared Mr Chamberlain to “ a noisy bee gathering vitriol.”

The Coronation Celebration Committee advertise the prizes which will be offered for the best illuminated building, the best decorated building, the best dressed vehicles and for competitive hakas and poi dances.

In a communication which Lieutenant Herd has received from Home it is proposed that the brass bands throughout the Empire should on Coronation Day play a march specially composed for the occasion. The Masterton Borough Council is taking decided precautions against plague and other infectious diseases. It is offering threepence a head for rats and has appointed extra sub-inspectors to report on the state of all premises and buildings. It has also decided to clean and divert creeks running through the town. The medical officer is to make a special report on the borough. Captain Walsh informs us that the volunteers are likely to erect a large drillshed on the Government. land adjoining the Pest Office, at an estimated cost of £ 6OO. The officers see their way to make the necessary puyments. A drill hall is a necessity for the winter, and the sooner something decided is done the better. The corrected statistics of the wellknown A.M.P. Society appears to-day on our first page, and our readers will find it interesting to note the advance shown by these figures, which proclaim the popularity of this institution. Messrs Smale and Hay's changed advertisement recommends a visit to test the truth of their statement that for best value for money their’s is the establishment.

The Lords of the Admiralty witnessed an impressive experiment at Barrow-in-Furness. A shot from a six-inch gun, fitted with Johnson’s cap, similar to the ones used in the French, Russian, German and American navies perforated a six-inch Krupp plate and its backing, while an uncapped shot failed to perforate. The capped shot also penetrated a twelve-inch plate, remaining fixed in backing. “The Times ” says the experiment shows the necessity for immediate improvement of secondary armaments. Mr J. J. Buckrell is so satisfied with the business done since opening in Main-street that he has arranged for further consignments of new and up-to-date clothing, mercery and general drapery to come forward at once. These goods will be marked at lowest possible prices and sold for cash only. The unfortunate fire in Wanganui burnt Mr Buckrell’s premises to the ground, so there is no chance of any one buying old-fashioned or damaged goods. Mr Backrell’s advertisement shows that purchasers would do well to inspect his new stock, and take particular notice of the prices. The Otaki Maori Racing Club did not offer the privilege of having charge of the luncheon booth at their sale of privileges last Saturday says the Mail. We understand it is the intention of the Club to deal privately with a caterer, the object being to ensure the public being supplied with a good lunch. We certainly agree with the Club in the action they ‘ have taken, and trust the change will have the desired effect. At several race meetings the luncheon supplied by the privilege holder has been a disgrace, and unfit to eat, and if some person or firm will guarantee a decent meal, the Club are only studying the interests of the public in making arrangements for such persons to have charge of the booth, and not put the privilege for same up to auction.’’ We learn that the Club has been fortunate in securing the Messrs Langley as caterers and they are thus assured not only of the needed “ decent meal ” but a great deal more. SANDER and SONS EECALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a, great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Bucalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products Dr. W, B. Rush, Oakland Ria., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations; they had no thera • peutic value and no effects.
