LOCAL AND GENERAL.
lhe next term of the day and evening classes at th.e New Plymouth Technical College commences to-morrow (Tuesday). The Taranaki Farmers' freezing works will close down on the 30th inst., not the 23rd, as previously notified. A man and woman were arrested at Palmerston night the other night in the act of taking goods from a show case in front of a draper's shop. The Journal of Labor, the official organ of tho Labor Department, has ceased publication, owing to the effect of the war on the cost of labor and materials. Tho 'Kaimata Dairy Company expects a considerably increased supply at the cheese factory during the coyiing season. Several milk suppliers, representing oyer 300 cows, have already signified their intention'of supplying kaimata. The High School Old Girls' Association, who have charge of The Mart on July 7, are organising a popular baby competition.

Tho Kaimata Dairy Company expects a considerably increased supply at the cheese factory during the coyiing season. Several milk suppliers, representing oyer 300 cows, have already signified their intention'of supplying kaimata.
The High School Old Girls' Association, who have charge of The Mart on July 7, are organising a popular baby competition. Entries are invited from parents willing to allow their babies to be nominated. The first prize is £4 4s" and other valuable prizes have been donated. Already 17 babies have been entered. Full particulars will appear later. Mollie Guda Holmes are two popular misses, and it is a task of some difficulty to decide between them. This, however, has to 'be done by Robert Warwick in his role of hero in tho brilliant World film, "All Man," showing finally at Everybody's to-night. A real page in life, as it is lived in big cities, aptly describes "Thrown to the Lions," the problem play in which Mary Fuller appears at Everybody's tomorrow. It is a powerful and tense dramatic portrayal, but a subject for adults only. General Brusiloff, the Russian commander who won great successes on the southern front last year, and recently succeeded General Alexieff as comman-der-in-chief, is the subject of a character sketch recently written by a correspondent of the Petrograd newspaper "Bourne Gazette." He says:—"Brusiloff lives by nerves, strenuous work, and a sense of duty. He eats very little. He regards dinner as a necessary evil, and it is finished in not more than twenty, minutes. Immediately it is over he goes to the adjoining carriage-workroom, with his head of the staff, and they are occupied together till late at night. Tho soldiers worship -him. He never courts popularity among them. He talks to them seldom, and, then with matter-of-fact abruptness, bkt in his few words lie a knowledge of the soldier's soul—a skill in finding the direct road to the soldier's heart, which could never be taught, but which must be deeply rooted in the man himself. > The general's physical endurance is amazing at the age of 64. Even now one of the best cavalrymen in Europe, he can outdistance expert and youthful horsemen." A new kind of "Eternal Triangle" is seen in "The Female of the Species," the brilliant Triangle play showing at the Empire to-night. The two "angles" in it are women, a beautiful and daring sculptress and a little "homebody" wife, who both fight a battle to a finish for the love of one man. Billie Burke appears on the same ■programme in a further chapter of "Gloria's Romance." A. J. Towers and Le Roys famous oily canvas coats are on sale at the Melbourne, Ltd., at 355, 39s Gd, and 49s fid. These coats are thoroughly reliable, and are acknowledged to be the only kind that will withstand incessant rain. Guaranteed not to go "sticky" in use.
