What might have ended in a serious accident accural at tho Woodvillo Railway Station oil Wednesday afternoon, says the Emniiwr. As tho train was approaching the station at a smart speed a man-evidently under tho inIhicnco of drink—stepped in between the rails directly in front of tho engine. Notwithstanding the engine-driver's whistling, and the shouts of the onlookers, the man stood on tho track until the engine almost touched hint, and then sprang oil' just in the nick of time. About two minutes later, while somo shunting was being done, the samo mail placed himself against tho buffer of the front carriage, aud stood (hero while a line of trucks was shunted against it. The railway porter removed liim in time to aycrt an accident. Tlio following reference to Mrs Annie Bcsant who is now lecturing in tho South, appears in a recent issue of Truth —"Mrs Bcsant, whose maiden name was Wood, comes of an old English family, which lias included oue General, (Sir Evelyn Wood), one Lord CJiauccllor (the good Lord Hatherley), and one Lord Mayor of London, a friend of the unfortunate Queen Caroline. Before she was of age Miss Wood married the licv. Frank Bcsant, an Anglican clergyman, a relative of the popular novelist; but tho marriage, although there were two children, was not a happy one. Early in her married life the wifo was troubled by religious doubts, ami finding no solution of them, even from such different schools of religious thought as Dr I'usey and Dean Stanley, a judicial separation was arranged, and Mrs Bcsant joined the National Secular Association and becamo an indefatigable writer on many subjects. It was while she was a Secularist that slio was elected at the head of the poll as a member of the London School Board, and it was about this

lime that sho championed Die cause of tho girls working at Bryant aud May's aud other match factories at the East End of London. She evoked a large amount of public sympalhy, and raising funds with tlie help of her friends she carried on the matck girls' strike to a triumphant issue, lieccntly Mrs Besant, abjuring Materialism, has devoted all her energies to tho Thcosophic propaganda. She attended that unique convocation, the Parliament of lleligions at Chicago, as the delegate of the English Thcosopliists; and at the end of last year and tho beginning of this she traversed India from north to south and cast to west on a Thcosophic mission.

Farmers' Dairy Union's butter factory at Wellington tdok placo yesterday. Thcro was a large attendance, proceedings being opened with a speech oy the Premier, after which Mr W. 0. Buchanan, M.H.lt., said it gave him equal pleasure with the Premier to bo present on that occasion, and to join with him in wishing success to this young and flourishing company. ElcvoA years ago ho and liis friend Mr Udy took part.as co-directors in opening the first dairy factory in the North Island, and tho second dairy factory in tho Colony. That factory had bcca doing go jd work aud had uo end of imitators in tho North Island. Mr A. W. Hogg, M.11.E., said he was oxceedingly pleased an industry of this character had been established in Wellington, because he recognised that cooperative efforts of this character could only be well carried out when they had the element of concentration. Ho considered a factory of this kind would do more than almost anything else to keep toil in its true form wedded to the soil of the country, If there was anything that would promote settlement, it was the small dairy farmers, and they need never be afraid the demands upon the industry of the small settlers would ever cease so long as they had plcuty of dairying. Ho was sure tlie Union would be successful. The Wellington Salvation Army lieseuo Home was opened yesterday afternoon under the most favourable auspices. Tho Home, which is called "Paulino House." as a compliment to Miss Annette Paul, Adjutant llescuc Secretary, faces Cuba street, having a frontage ol about 42 feet.
