Speaking qt Pukekohe last evening Mr Seddon Claimed “ in Have the confidence of the,mothers of Ksw Zealand.” Mr Wren has sold the ex ; New Zealand horse* Grand Rapids, to Mr Watson, of Western Australia, for £4OO. The Auckland Racing Club held back the acceptances for Wednesday’s races to prevent the bookmakers issuing betting Cards* We learn that the Bank of Mew Zealand have purchased the additional block, alongside their old building, front Mr H, Austin.

Walker, M. Perreau, L. Wilson, J. Bradley, A. R. Osborne. Theodore Angus’iae Godfrey, an ex police constable, was charged at the Dunedin Police Court on Tuesday with failing to provide for the maintenance of his wife and two children. An order was made for payment of 75 6d a week for each child. The Magistrate severely: Now, sir, this is the twenty-fifth time you have been before the Court. You will be fined fifteen shillings, or —Hardened Offender : Look here, sir, couldn’t you make a slight reduction, as I’m such a regular customer ? A Young Men’s No-license Club has been formed in Wanganui, the members of which areyoum: m m electors. Over 250 members have been enrolled, and the chairman hopes to get 500. A similar club is being started in New 1 Plymouth. Eight of the best business places at | Coraki (a town situated at the head of i navigation of the main Richmond | river 349 miles from Sydney) were I destroyed by fire. The insurances totalled £3OOO, but the damage is considerably above that amount. (> One-half of the people’ won’t vote, | and the other half won’t put themselves I on the roll,” declared the defendant in j a case heard at Auckland, in which a I woman was charged with a breach of i the Electoral Act. “It shows the I necessity for leaving people alone,” ! replied the magistrate. “If they don’t j want to be enrolled, let them stay off. If I had my way, there would be no I canvassing for votes.” I A cottager’s wife was once telling a ' friend about her “courtin’ days,” and i said; “ When my man an’ mo was enj gaged he insisted on buying me a pro- ! sent, although I didn’t want one, Savs j ’e, let me buv ye a ring with a stone in j it.’ Says I, ‘ I 'ave a ring and a bracelet, but" if ye must buy me anything, I buy me something for my neck.’ An’ 'e did, too ; ’e brought me a eako 0’ soap,” The body of Frank Sorrell, bookkeeper at O'Brien’s Criterion Hotel, wh'» has been missing for eight days, was found on Tuesday among some lupins close to the Municipal baths. His throat was cut from ear to ear and there was a razor lying alongside. A note found on the body conveyed a message of farewell to Mr O’Brien and indicated his intention to commit suicide. Sorrell was a native of Ade- j laide, aged 35, and was a single man. j That a man should pause with the rope round his neck to a-k for food stems an idea possible only to the humorist. But it has just happened in the United States. After this it is feasible that another man really did ask in similar circumstances, to be taught to play the piano before the bolt was drawn, and that another asked, “ Is this ’ere planking safe ? ” The executioner is not without humour of a sort, though is it is unconscious. Said Harwood, when advocating the long drop to a Government official, “ Now, there was Mr Peace, a small man. 1 gave him a six-foot drop, and I hassure you, sir ’e passed hoff like a summer heve.” An unpleasant experience befel a young man in Wellington, says a Northern contemporary. Pie went to the Lambton Quay Police Station to make a complaint about an alleged theft of property belonging to himself. Detective Cassells heard the complaint, and not knowing the young man asked him his name. This was promptly given, bm unfortunately for the complainant, the name happened to be similar to one on a list it “ men wanted” which tho detective had committed to memory. The detective took down a book, turned up an entry concerning a case of false pretences alleged to have been committed in 1900, taxed the young man with having been concerned in it, and subsequently took him into custody. The charge is that ho obtained a suit of clothes and a dress coat, valued at JBS, from John Preece, of Christchurch, by means of false pretences. Chief Detective McGrath said the warrant was still in force, but it would be necessary to communicate with Christchurch to see if accused was still wanted, as it might be that witnesses were not now available,

Zealand; and buys arid sells Iherii like sc rffriily cattle:; Strange to say, men are willing to Ud sdlcl’' Mr T. E. Taylor at Wellington: — 1 “ He would sooner have a life full of iiiltion dldrig right linOS closed up ia forty-five year*, £3 was with some men, than put up a record of i century by taking things easy. It was not hdtf i long they lived, but bow they were ! living the years at their disposal,” ,Thc Council of the Naw Zealand Hockey 1 Assodurtiori met rit Christchurch to consider the cdie at F.- Sell, Who played for the Wanganui Chib dgsbiffst the Trinity Club, though the secretary of the Wanganui Association had refused him permission lo play on the ground that he had not given sufficient notice I of his residence in the district. Further | correspondence was received from the I secretary of the association* The notice required was seven days, arid Only three days’ notice was given. The match ! was, h iwaver, postponed for a week. The Council adhered to its previous decision, upholding Bell’s eligibility to ’ playI Speaking on the No-license question, 1 a lay member at the Dunedin Anglican Synod said he would like to see drinking bars made like shops, where a man could go and buy liquor just as he would a pair of socks. The Primate took up trie argument, aud assured Hie * speaker and the synod that it would 1 not be desirable to have liquor sold as freely as socks. The sale of drink, he remarked, differed from that of ordinary wearing apparel. The good woman who was buying socks or other things go' what she wanted and did not want any more, but the man who ' got liquor wanted more. The supply of intoxicating liquor frequently excited a demand, and the result years ago at Liverpool of such an experiment as that suggested had been disastrous. At Mr Fred. Pirani’s meeting at Ashurst a youth from Palmerston interjected, when Mr Pirani was referring to the' exclusion of Chinamen, “ How did you get in the colony? ” Mr Pirani replied that he was a colonial, and said that it seemed a pity the interrupter’s education had been so much neglected that he did not even know how to behave at a public meeting. Mr Pirani added : “ Surprise has been expressed to me that some of my meetings have been noisy, while my opponent’s are the reverse —hut a moment’s reflection will show anyone that the disturbances at my meetings are not caused by rny supporters, while Mr Wood receives a good hearing because my supporters know how to behave themselves, and those of bis supporters I refer to do not." This was accentuated' by prolonged applause from the audience.— Standard. Nelson runs the risk of being overdone. There have been so many articles in the magazines of (he standard order, with orthodox illustrations, and one tires of them, particularly as they differ little in either material or interes. But it is refreshing to find an entirely new view of Nelson in the November issue of “ Lifeff’just to hand. In a charac teristically bright article, Dr Fitchett discusses the relative merits of Nelson and Togo, and their great battles, his conclusion being that whilst Togo is a great sea-captain, he is only the pupil, not the rival, ot Nelson, who remains still the greatest sea-captain of all time. Wool and gold are our two great induslries, and both are dealt with in a different manner in this number of “ Life.” The former is taken charge of by a well-known Western District squatter, who tells in detail how a great sheep station is run, and what money there is in running it. Though the writer denies the possession of any style, literary or 01 herwise, his breezy, interesting article shows that he has been unduly modest in his denial. The goldarticle is the third of a series on the gold-mining industry, being contributed bv Mr W. A, Samorset.. It deals with the romance of gold-mining and claims to be “ Nothing more than a series of stories such as any oldBendigonian, with his feet on a fender, and his pipe a-gowing, could tell in half-an-hour.” The regular departments ot the magazine serve, as usual, to keep the reader abreast of all that is best in the world of polities, science and literature. The latest books ar reviewed, the cream of the world’s poetrv is reproduced, the newest things in science, invention, and sport are noted, and the history of the world in general, and Australasia in par ticular, is commented on in a series of chatty paragahs. Altogether, “ Life ” is a wonderfully useful and informative sixpennyworth, giving the maxi- / mum expenditure of time aad mosey, j
