Recent deaths should convince Foxton residents that we are in need of a resident medico. Why is no notice taken of this important patter? Let us awake, and do our duty 1 Call a meeting, at once to consider ths project. A lost brown gelding, branded HK on shoulder is advertised for. See Lost column.

The High Cemmisaioner cabled on ‘hd 18th:—“Hemp market is quiet, vrifErteridenoy iti favour of buyers.”

A fire occurred in a model lodging, house at Glasgow. Thirty inmates were suffocated or burned to death. The infant son of Mr and Mrs C. T. Easton passed away on Sunday night last. We join with many others in extending our heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing parents.

The Jewish residents *of Palmerston have subscribed £6O in aid of their Russian co-religionists. This amount was collected by Mr M. Cohen in a couple of hours on Saturday. The. Auckland Jews have appointed a committee to collect funds for the relief of distressed Jews in Russia. The President of the Synagogue has already received a first instalment of £l5O for transmission to London.

“If you ask me to put ray finger on the. eanker that is eating aWayall that is best throughout Australia," said Mr Rason, of Western Australia, in his policy speech, “ I say it is the gambling evil. We propose introducing a Bill providing for a tax on totaiisator receipts ; for prohibiting races on unregistered racecourses, and providing for the licensing of all racecourses on which racing is permitted."

The Wellington Supreme Court criminal sessions opened yesterday. The Chief Justice presided, and, in addressing the grand jury, he said the list 0! crimes was not large, but included the case of murder of a Cimsaman by Lionel Terry. The jury would be assisted by the fact that Terry admitted the crime. The question of his mental attitude would have to be considered by the common jury. . We regret to have to record the death of the infant daughter of Mr and Mrs J. Bayliss. The parents were in the act of driving the child to Palmerston North on Sunday last for medical treatment, when the child breathed its last about Bainesse. The sorrowing parents will have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. The funeral takes place at Palmerston North to-day.

A Wellington football enthusiast has made a suggestion worthy of consideration by the New Zealand Rugby Union. He thinks a highly interesting game would attract an enormous attendance, if two or three New Zealanders were drawn on from the Universities or elsewhere to complete two fifteens of New Zealanders, who would play an exhibition game, at the Crystal Palace grounds or elsewhere. There . are twenty-eight players, already on tour, and only a couple of outsiders would need lobe drawn on to complete two teams.

Never before in the hiatory of parliamentary elections have the electors displayed anything like the indulgence accorded candidates during the present campaign in the matter of passing votes of confidence to them. The practice appears to have become well nigh universal at the present time, and nearly every candidate throughout the colony) of whatever shade of political opinion, is strengthened in his belief' of a sure return to the talking shop by these votes of confidence. Thera will be a rude awakening for a lot of them next month*

Three cases of good English Boots just opened up at E. E. Snow’s, Main Street. To be sold cheap.—Advt. Several Foxtonians journeyed to Palmerston North last evening for the purpose of listening tb the renowned Scottish singer, Miss Jessie Maclaohlan. It is officially announced that it would cost £213,645 to cut the noxious weeds and unoccupied reserves for one season, I So the old idea of fining the farmer for j allowing the wind to blow the seed about is still the only noxious weeds ( remedy. j At Lyttelton on Saturday morning John Eric Peterson, seaman, was committed for trial on a charge of attempting to cat the mooring line of the steamer Canopus at the wharf at 11.20 p.m. on Friday. The rope was half out through. Pierson, who was seen to out the rope, said he was drunk and did not remember anything. A Preemantle Cable says another Base of plague has occurred on a French mall Stbatrie* Which Was homeward bound from Noumea. The Victims are two of the French crew and two Soudanese firemen. Microscopic eX* animation has disclosed the disease to be true plague. The source Ol infection, is unknown. It is stated a number ox dead rats Were fotmd abdtrfdi “To him who hath shall be giVCtl even more abundantly," says the Bible, “ and from him who hath not shall be taken away even that which he bath." Aildthiij Is particularly true in matters bf action) especially With Women. If a girl has several ftcttiiriifs) then tUCU will flock round her like bees aboiit ft honeypot, but if she has only one beau even he will soon desert her.

Interviewed at Auckland before going to Pukekohe (in Mr Massey's constituency) the Premier said, "Mr Massey invited me to come, and it would be discourteous if 1 did not accept." " When did he invite you?" asked the inter* viewer. “Oh, in the House, whenke challenged me to contest the seat with him. I must go and reconnoitre before I finally decide. You know he bet me a hat that the Government after the election would not have more than ten majority. I took him up, and offered to bet another hat that we would have a majority of twenty." The no-hat craze has spread to an enormous extent at Blackpool and neighbouring resorts. Young ladies have outstripped men in this respect, and probably a quarter of the feminine visitors go bareheaded. Thejgirls have other methods of obtaining the maidmum of comfort during the hot weather, for hundreds are to be seen parading the town stockingless, and a few even sleeveless. Many wear sandals. These customs are so prevalent that they excite no comment among the residents, but with visitors it is different. At the Shannon Town Hall to-morrow afternoon a large land sale takes place by Mr J. R. Stansell, auctioneer. The property to be sold consists of 125 sections, 1 double front shop and dwelling in Ballanee street, an eight-roomed house with orchard and vinery, and live dwelling-houses in Nathan Terrace. Shannon township is lately making rapid strides of progression, and those ta a progressive mood should not fail to be present at the sale to-morrow afternoon. Peruse the advertisement carefully. The Wellington Dentists’ Association has a scheme on hand for the examination of the teeth of about three thousand school children, the intention being to supply the parents with duplicate sheets showing the results of the examinations. In furtherance of this scheme, the Association applied to the Board for the necessary permission. It was decided, by four votes to two, to grant the desired permission. It will not take more than two hours for each school.

The Taihape News says“ A remarkable example of the fact that a cat has nine lives was shown yesterday. A man was engaged at clearing the stumps from one of Mf Barsby’s sections, when it was found necessary to place a charge of dynamite in a huge white piae stump. This had the effect of splitting the stump, and another big charge was placed in it and fired, and by this time the stump was completely shattered. To the surprise of the workmen a white cat, which had made her home under the stump, suddenly concluded that it was no place for a home and walked quietly off with a kitten or two in her mouth. It is a wonder that the concussion did not destroy the animals if nothing else.’’ The veracious chronicler of Taihape should go in for fishing. Commenting on the Foxton Minstrel Party, the Levin paper says“ The Sunbeam Coon Party, numbering many performers, appeared before a Levin audience on Wednesday evening, and delighted all by the first class programme of choruses, solos, and dances submitted. The performance was punctuated by warm applause and frequent and imperative encores. Our Foxton friends give an entertainment above the ordinary run of amateur performances, and should they decide upon giving Levin another treat the public may patronise them with every confidence of being treated to a bright and enjoyable entertainment.” This notice from an outside critic is certainly creditable to those who 5 put their time, expense, and trouble to providing such pleasant evening's.

Saturday night last saw the introduction of a new form of light into Foxton. ’Tis said that those business people who speculated in these new lamps are far from satisfied with their venture, as the illumination comet nowhere near expectations. Rather a good stoty is told of a Main street business man, who walked into a contemporary's shop where these lights were displayed, and commenced striking matches—evidently possessed of a large amount of humour. We do not know what the store-keeper thought, who is said to haye speculated in nine of these lamps, but the agent, who was in the shop at the time, must have felt aggrieved. However, it is rumoured the Foxton Borough Council have resolved to stick to their present kerosene street light system, instead of experimenting in the form of glimmer adorning some of the Main street shops on Saturday night last I

At the .time of his death last Sep.. - her Dr Barnardo’a thirty-ninth annual report in respect to his homes was just about to have been issued, and the posthumous, document giving the latest statistics of the gigantic concern will be read with deep interest by the countless subscribers to the institution. The year 1904 began with 7078 children in residence, and at the end of the year the number was 7855, an increase of 777. Last year also saw the largest number ever admitted to the homes in any single year—namely, 8827; in addition, 120,239 free meals and 81,082 free lodgings were supplied to boys and girls, and 92,688 garments were given away. In the same period the donation! amounted to £187,608 16s Id, but the doctor pointed out that notwithstanding the increased generosity of the public, “we are growing more rapidly that our income.” . At the end pi the year the council)was faced with an overdraft at ihe bank of £88,009, and the expenditure during 1904 exceeded the income by 44,598. An eloquent appeal is made for funds to meet the necessities of the homos.
