It was decided at a conference of sawmillers at Wellington to reduce the price of building nam from 12s Od to lis 2d. The business premises in Palmer*ion will remain open on Thursday next (Empire Pay); The usual weekly halfholiday will be observed to-morrow. Mrs and Master Chmtensen, of the Occidental Hotel, left last Saturday ior Epgland and Europe, via Sydney, on a holiday trip. The residents of Botanical Eond and Ferguson Street West have petitioned the Postal Department to erect a.postotlicc box in a central position in that locality, Messrs Gausind and Andrews have the matter in hand, and as the request is a reasonable one, the Department will, uo doubt, provide the convenience desired. There was a good attendance at the Y.M.C.A. rooms last evening, when a social gathering was held by the members. A very enjoyable ' time was spent. General regret was expressed that indisposition prevented the giving of a gymnastic display by Instructors Stevens and Walker. » During the evening Mr Bell, a recent arrival from Wellington, sani? two songs and was heartily encored. Mr Garduer received'a similar compliment for his rendering of two pianoforte solo?. Messrs Guy, Pears, and Vivian also contributed..to an excellent programme. On Monday evening next tue time will be given up to impromptu speaking. Mr Barrow, the representative-of a wealthy London Fishing Syndicate, stated to a Star reporter at Dunedin that State fish shops would fail, because iisli was an exceedingly perishable commodity, and only the best of experience could work the market successfully. Amateurs need not try; they failed every time. First-class men, who knew the business, were essential, and the Government could not get them. The Baroness Burdctt Ooutts attempted in Loudon to supply lisli direct from the sea to the consumer at cost price. That was the work of a philanthropic amateur, and unforseen contingencies brought it to ruin. For one thing, no one went to her markets to buy. The A. and P. secretary is advised by Messrs Beattie, Lang and Co. as follows": " We have pleasure in informing you that two boxes of 1 faked ' butter, procured by our Mr Lang in London, are arriving per Waiwera, consigned to the' cold store, Wellington, where they will remain until Show time. One box marked * A.B.' contains 12lbs of butter | in 21b rolls, and was being retailed in London at Is 2d per lb. Th ; s sample ! of butter contains water to the extent jof 15*42 per cent. One box marked ' P.G.' also contains 12lbs of butter in 21b rolls, and was retailed i» London at Is per lb. This butter contains water to the extent of 2ir;jS per cent." The " faked" butter will be exhibited at the i Wiuter Show next month. | Winter'is upon us. you must want a j cape. See them at Clarkstm's.* | Stylish millinery no«v on view at the Bon Mareho Arcade.

The Australian Postmaster Genera! has ordered severe, of tho now Wheatstone Gill rapid telegraph type writer niachuns for experimental übc in eacii of tho State capitals. A'though the apparatus mcana practically double work for each message, the work is tlone so rapidly that an enormous saving of time and acceleration of speed results. It would not be a bad scheme if some of the machines were obtained for use in this colony, \Y c ttmlerstani that Messrs Ualgctv :tjid Co.. Jjtd,, have purchased from Messrs Nathan 'v.n\ Co. a freehold property nmuing from Queen-street to Crey-street siui adjacent to Kangitikei Line, and that it is iheir intention to ere ei ■-•oui mod tons brick premises thereon. *n order to meet the requirements their rapidly developinhusm.fs in this district. The Company hauy jls>o secured the lease ut ;i e.-u- ---•. euitntJy situated property of 11 acres jnXivy-strcet, upon which it is tJI I -ir ignition to eroi-t. sale yards. A Wharekopae (Gisborne) settler rcceitlv purchased a piano. To take the imtrument home it had to be conveyed for ton miles, up hill and down gaily, W3OTC roads there were none. The mode n' conveyance was somewhat unique.* it was carried between two horses on .strong manuka poles, Ktrepptd to the animals, and for ten miles its passage was made in this way. Coming to a river, where a ford did not exist-, it was slung over on wires, a: si she horses again took up their burden uiuii the house was reached. In the Broad-street Methn«!i-i Church last evening, a meeting uas held of all the .Sunday School teachers in the local district. The chief hu-i----:if>? was the receipt of reports tr..m tiie delegates to the recent eonferenee of teachers in Wellington. Interesting papers wore also contributed by Misses 31. Jam icon and 10. Paseoe. and Messrs Rouse and It, Ililicu-. The chair was occupied by -Mr G. Jv.-i;-nett (the Broad-slr.;et .superintendent . and the Revs. Lewis and and Mr Jl..ddt:r (superintendent oi the Cuba-street school) aleo were present and U>ok part. Kei're .-hments. were provided at the close !>y the Broadstreet teachers. During the evening it was stated that since the appointment of Miss J amies'in as visiting sister three month.*- ago the attendance at the two .Methodist Sunday S.-L" . : - had increased by seholars. The many hundreds of persons who were afforded mi opportunity seeing Mr Holnmn Hunt's picture, The Light of the World, while it was being exhibited in ihir town, learn with regret ihat the artist by whom is uas> execited h&» become so blind that he i» never likely to resume the use of a.s pencil, and that The Lady of hha.o , upon which be has been engaged since the year 1893, must be _ rc-garied as tae Lr.al production of his genius. t separated from the first by an jntervoi (f 62 years. In a ic-tter from b.
