Wairarapa Daily Times. [Established 1874.] TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1895. "THE MAN FROM BOSTON"

Whkx Dr. Joseph Cook was in Wellington the Empire City journalists did not interview him—would not even report his meetings. Wellington journalists had not heard pf the Boston lecturer, and tpok hiui to be a "no account man." Now the Boston lecturer is in New South Wales, and tbo big Sydney papers are reporting him and making much of him. The Sydney journalists have interviewed liim and his opinions are absolutely being cabled oyer to New Zealand. At last the Boston lecturer will be respected in Wellington, for anything that is cabled over to the Empire City is regarded as gospel. Wellington will not pick op a pearl on Lambton Quay, but it will take 1 a side light of the same pearl from Sydney or Melbourne. But then can we expect a big place like Wellington .to notice a man like Dr. Joseph Cook to the samp extent as little places like Boston, Sydney and Melbourne.

Dr. Josoph Cook has been interviewed in Sydney as to his opinion of New Zealnid, and has given it with considerable frankness, and if thisopinion, which will travel all over the civilised world, bo not quite 60 flattering as might be desired, some slight measure of responsibility most rest on the pressmen in this Colony who gave him thecold shoulder when he was their guest. What does l)r Cook tell the people of New South Wales? He says that onr working men are straining their political power and using it foolishly. He accuses them of loafing on the ildvaf»ment| and of driving capital out of ilia Gblouy, Jfe decTareS : that New Zealand needs the wisa 'guidance of the best men in the Ooioiiy £o develop its resources.'

I Minnie Dcnu's patting words to tlie surgeon were, " Don't let them keep me in afiouy.doctor." She went to tlie scaffold apparently Belt-possessed, but when her legs were pinioned, she gave way somewhat, and swayed back and forward holding the warder's hand. The drop was seven feet nine inches. To the Iter Mr Lindsay she stated that as iur as tho evidence was concerned the sentence was justined, but she protested her innocence as far as the intention and forethought were concerned. The lirst full rehearsal of the Juvenile Opera Company, recently formed in Masterton, was held in the Temperance Hall yesterday afternoon, and the forty children who took part acquitted themselves wonderfully well for an opening practice. Under the baton of Mr Koarsley, several choruses of " H.M.S. Pinafore," were sung in really splendid style, and the promoters are thoroughly pleased with their selection. Nearly all the principal parts have been allotted satisfactorily, and it is expected the opera will be placed on the boards in Masterton, about the 9th November.

We have to heartily congratulate a popular Masterton medico, and one who could ill be spared, ou a rather miraculous escape from, at Jlie very least, becoming somebody's patient himself, and possibly the interesting subject of a /KKtt mnrlem examination. The thing occurred thus:—Doctor Hosting, returning from professional duties at the Taueru, (where he had been soothing the sick and afflicted) had safely negotiated all the diiiicolties of that somewhat danperous road, and reached the Hospital gate. Hero he reined up to have another look at " a very interesting case of heart disease," so tying up his fiery steed, he sailed cheerfully into the building. He hud hardly got inside when a loud crash was heard, and darting out again the doctor discovered that his horse—probably overcome by the odour of carbolic and similar per. fumes had cast his blinkers and made a holt. The frightened animal struck one or two minor obstacles, and finally ran into a clothes line, which brought him down and wrecked the trap. The doctor made a dart in the direction of his prostpate steed, but }ie, too, came to grief at the clothes line, and the hojrie giyin'g a kick, the line soinehow took a turn round the doctor'? neck', and tightening up ho found fyjmself Jiaugjng out to dry. Although pegged ]ip he didn't peg out, but with a little assistance, at the conclusion of a pretty acrobatic performance, was released, and after sitting in the mud a little while • recovered sufficient breath to treat the whole thing as a .rather good joke 1 It js refreshing to find a man who is able to laugh at his-own misfortunes, and the only regret is that the repairs to the genial doctor's trap will be rather an expensive item.

The death is announced in Newcastle, New South. Wales, of "Mr Shadracb. Jones. Mr Jones was by profession aJ surgeon, and a Tery clever one, hut by nature ho was a speculator. He was well-known in Victoria for some years, and in 1801 he came to Otago and bought the Commercial Hotel, and subsequently leased the Provincial HBtel. To Mr .Tones Otogo owed the introduction of barmaids, the establishment of up-to-date hotels, the visit of the first AH England Eleven, the first theatre (a converted saleyard), the establishment of Vausliall Gardens, and a great many othot tilings. It was ho who nearly Bmashed theißank of New Zealand in its infant day* by his overdraft, and after passing tn ™ u Kli the Bankruptcy Court he managed to hit another Bank (Commercial] Bank of New Zealand) hard with ;a farther overdraft.
