He also made special reference to the state of weeds in Thyune street. Mrs Fraser, wife of the Hon. F. H.

The new organ at the local Presbyterian Church was played for the first time on Sunday last, and lent a special attraction to the services. Mr Henderson, of Palmerston N., officiated. During the evening Mrs Rae-Howard rendered the solo, “ He was Despised,” with excellent effect. Mr Henderson also sang a sacred item, and the choir rendered an anthem. The sermon preached by the Rev. G. K. Aitken on the place music occupies in public worship, was very appropriate and listened to with marked attention.

Our representative was present yesterday afternoon at a rehearsal by the State School children taking part in to-morrow and Thursday night’s concert. Mr Adams must Ire possessed of the patience of Job to have trained the children to such a pitch of perfection. The choruses which ring out through the hall take one back over the years that have slipped away to former school days. The youngsters appear to derive as much enjoyment out of the numerous items as- we hope the parents will to-morrow night. We can assure our readers that there is a treat in store for them. The only drawback is the very limited stage accommodation.

It is stated that Mr Carnegie is now as rich as ever he was, if not richer :-r-“ He has achieved great success in the course of his long life, but he has never made a more dismal failure than in the attempt to disembarass himself of his millions. It seems almost incredible that since he sold out his interest in the iron and steel works for sixty millions sterling, although he has been giving away money by the shovelful in the Old World and the new, he has utterly failed to make the smallest indent upon the capital sum with which he started.” Atone time he did, indeed, succeed in makeng a little indent in the mass ot his wealth. Two of his later gifts, of £2,000,000 each, did entail a drain up on his capital, but, as if lt.o mock his ambitions and foil his efforts, the value of the debenture stock in which his money is invested rose 10 per cent, so that instead of being four million pounds poorer than he was when he started, he found himself at the beginning of this year two million pounds richer than when he began his distribution.
