The weather is simply lovelv at present. We have had no rain for days. Fact! Mr T. Betty was granted discharge from bankruptcy at Palmerston yesterday. The s.s. Moa sailed this moi'ning with a load of cattle and sheep consigned to Greymouth. Interesting correspondence has been received from Bro. Fox, which we are compelled to hold over till Tuesday. Several additions to the Himatangi stock sale are made in our advertising columns to day. This sale takes place on Monday next. A new advertisement will be found on page four to day from Stewart Dawson and Co. It is worth perusual by those who deal in jewellry. Whitebait have been frequenting the Manawatu river the last day or two, and we have heard of one or two good catches. Foxton Port was fairly busy yesterday, there being no less than four boats berthed, all laden with coal. Special trains took the household necessity north. “How do you plead, guilty or not guilty ?” said the Clerk of the Wellington S.M. Court to a first offending inebriate. “ Guilty, full up to the neck,” was the reply. “One thing I like about our new man,” said a member of the firm to his partner, “is that he’s reliable, you can always tell what he is going to do next.” “And what is that?” “No thing.” The Otago University Council have decided to ask the Agent-General to select a Professor of Physiology, and also decided to proceed with the erection of a Physiological School and Veterinary College at a cost of £3600. The search for M’Kenzie, alias “ Ellis,” who is “ wanted ” in connection with the murder of Collinson at Te Awaite in February last, is still being prosecuted. The police have every reason to believe that he has not left the Colony, Apropos of the birthrate, a corres pondent of a Taihape paper writes : “It has been considered, however, that the settlement will never attain to importance until such time as the many bachelors existing here are eradicated." The Netherlands Government have at last taken a final decision concerning the site of the new Peace Palace, for which Mr Andrew Carnegie gave £300,000 two years ago. The Palace will be erected in the wood of Scheveningen on a bill overlooking the ocean. News has been received to the effect that things are going from bad to worse in South Africa, The civil servants are dissatisfied with the retrenchment policy, and hundreds have expressed their intention of leaving the public service. A well-known Masterton doctor notifies yi the local papers that, owing to the expense and time entailed in connection with outstanding, accounts, he has decided to close his books, and after this month all persons desirous of advice must be prepared to prepay consultation fees. The letter-box in the Avenue, which was damaged to such an extent that it became of no further use for postal purposes, has been removed. Residents in that part of the town will be pleased to hear the Postal Department intend to put another box in position shortly. Pedestrians frequenting Main Street on Thursday evening were afforded the chance of witnessing a very exciting chase, in which the man in blue played a prominent part. Although the culprit escaped after hurdling a fence or two in adapt style, he should remember that this world is small and that the arm of the law is long.

The late Paul Kruger left a fortune of £750,000. Tenders are called by the Borough Council for the formation of No 2 and 6 Lines. An advertisement relating thereto will be found in another column.

We had the pleasure of sampling a picking of green peas this morning from a local garden. They made delicious eating, and should add flavour considerably to the Sunday dinner. We may inform our readers we claim to be good judges of fruit and Christmas hampers. A Syrian witness, in New Plymouth, said his countrymen preferred to carry their riches about them rather than remit through banks. " What is the reason ?” queried the lawyer examining., “ The dishonesty of the people and Government,” answered the foreigner. Added to the list of sections which , ■Messrs Mddnsc'y & Co. are to ofter on behalf of Mr Marner dil Thursday next, is the latter gentleman's seaside section, on which is erected a fourroomed cottage already furnished. As the summer weather is already upon uSj those who enjoy the seaside breezes plight not to miss this opportunity df possessing themselves of a residence. There is a slump in human skeletons for anatomical and other purposes, and quotations have dropped heavily since Japan went to War with Russia. Every war means a fall in the price of such grizzly commodities, for the dealers obtain the greater part of their supplies from battlefields. According to a newspaper the Boer war sent the price of a Complete skeleton down to about 103. While in Palmerston on Sunday evening the Premier was informed that an old West Coaster, named Cairns, who was in the Palmerston Hospital, desired to see him. Although the hour was late when he received the message, Mr Seddon, with the good nature that has won him so many friends in the past, paid the institution a visit, and having sought out the patient, recognised in him an old aquaintance of his digging days. A lengthy chat took place, daring which many recollections of the “good old times” were recalled. Mr Seddon subsequently went through the hospital, speaking a cheery word to each of the patients. An old farmer died. He was reputed to be rich, After his death, however, It was found that he died penniless. His wfil was very brief. It ran as followsln the name of God, amen. There’s only one thing I leave. I leave the earth. My relatives have always wanted that. They can have it,” Like other business-heads, the paper proprietor is often molested by persons of the audacious variety—the person who would have the columns of our journal filled with reports of public bearings worded to suit his own’ particular fancy. More than one of these called at our office yesterday making attempts to interfere with our common business rights. For the benefits of those not in the know, we would point out that The Herald intends to use its own discretion in all matters concerning publication. Enough! Two million pounds sterling a year is the sum which Mr Edgar Mels calculates the Russo-Japanese war is costing the newspapers of the world, and that is a moderate estimate. Three quarters of this great sum is being spent by the papers published in the English language tor the rest of the world. The newspapers of America and Great Britain are bearing the brunt of the expense—and are gaining absolutely nothing by it. The publishers ot newspapers, be it said, dreaded the coming of the present war. They had learned the bitter lesson during the South African campaign, and when hostilities looked imminent it was with reluctance that our correspondents were sent to the Far East. Each paper that was forced by reason of its 1 prestige and circulation to send individual correspondents to the front sought by means of combinations with other papers to reduce the cost to itself. The Chicago Daily News, on the other hand, played a lone gime, at an enormous expense, for it is one of the three papers having a private seagoing steamer, which at a minimum, costs £3OO a week.
