NEWS OF THE DAY.
"As usual, always in front. If you want news pictures go to "The Weekly Press."" will be tho universal opinion of those who are fortunate enough to secure copies of tho issue of "The Weekly Press" which will bo published to-morrow. The incidents of tho week have been the appointment of the new- Governor and tne chase for the Wellington escapee, Powelka, in tho Palmerston North district. Of tho new Governor, Sir John DicksonPoynder, "The Weekly Press" has been fortunate enough to secure n very fine portrait, which occupies a whole page, j Facing this is a full-page illustration ot "Spy's"' celebrated cartoon of Sir John, reproduced from "'Vanity Fair.'' Accompanying these is a splendidly written personal sketch' of the new Governor, so that the readers of "The. "VV eokly Press"' will be well ahead of til others by not only having two splendid portraits, but an accompanying description. That these two pages will find places on the walls of thousands of homes there is little doubt, and Sir John will assuredly meet them constantly when he makes his first tour of the Dominion. The Powelka sensation is also fully illustrated, all the Incidents being delineated in picture. It is a cold corner of New Zealand where "Tne Weekly Press" photographer is not to be found, and that ho has done ,good work in tho Palmerston iNorth district will be the universal opinion. To tlio sportsman the admirable illustrations of stags' heads snot in the Rakaia district last week will certainly appeal, as will the excellent page ot horns and heads from the Canterbury Museum. Tho pastoralist will view with pleasure the largo double page picturo of sheep in the Chatkams, r.s well as the group of farmers and others who visited the Belfast Freezing Works last week. Of the galaxy of other pictures space only permits of a few names. Thus we have the rubber craze illustrated by a scene on the Stock Exchange, the hurricane in Fiji, the floods in the Hawke's Bay district, a beautiful seascape as frontispiece, pictures from Cambridge, the Palmerston fires, on tho route of the Gisborno to Rotorna railway, and many others suited to every taste. In the literature section Ethel Turner introduces her hero, and with vigorous touches describes the early blunder of his life, due to a misguided sense of duty. One of tho short stories gives a powerf.il picture of a lumber war in the Middle West of America, and of the extraordinary manner in which it' was ended. A concert on behalf of the Burwood school funds was held in the parish hall on Thursday evening. There was a very good attendance, and a splendid programme of musical items was submitted. The concert concluded with the farcical comedy, in one act, "My Turn Next," by the Philhpstown Cemedv Company. Votes of thanks to the performers and the teaching start for their efforts brought to a close a very pleasant evening. In the annual report of the Canterbury Acclimatisation Society the Council express pleasure at the success attending their efforts to breed American wood ducks. Six have been bred and reared during the past season, making a total of eighteen of these attractive birds. A number of wild fowl have been purchased or presented to this Society during the year, and add much to the attractiveness of the rwrdens. The number of visitors to the gardens is increasing year by year. Canadian geese were most successful m breeding derations at Glenmark and in the gardens during the year, and it has been decided to liberate a number in the Lake Sumner district. In view of a probable shortage of work during: the winter months (says Saturday's "Otago Daily Times ) the agent of the Labour Department or the Government has written, to the Primate to ask whether it would not be passible to make a commencement with the building of the Anglican Cathedral in Dunedin at an early dateIt is understood! that the chief obstacles to such a course being taken, is that tho amount which the Board desires to have in hand before commencement has not yet been raised. Some &?<*: ous subscriptions at this time might enable this work to bo put m hand, and it ia stated that Mr George Gray Russell has written to say 'that he would make a second donation of £IWI if ono or two others would gjve a Wee amount, which he thinks should be readily forthcoming. On account of the shortage of railway trucks to carry away tho coal, the Mount Somers Coal Company has recently been greatly inconvenienced, and the mine has beeh closed down.for at least one day through this cause (says Saturday's Timaru "Herald"). Since the company laid down the new tramline and jig, nearly twelve months ago, the output from the company's mines has been greatly increased), and the amount of coal sent out during the month of March aim est constituted a record. It is a pity that the operations of a local industry should be hampered in any way, but the local railway authorities have done their very best to overcome tho temporary difficuSty. Yesterday the . train from Mount Somers brought down to Ashburton ten trucks of coal, and this points to the fact that things are again on the right footing. In furnishing the new vice-regal residence at Mount View a good deal rtf furniture from the old Government Houses in Wellington and Auckland will be available, theso residences having now been devoted to other uses—. in Wellington for the accommodation of Parliament, and in Auckland for the University. Furniture makers will, however, bo given a big order (says the "New Zealand Times"), as tenders are being invited for ft largo number of articles of heavy furniture to be manufactured in the Dominion. It may interest the democratic New Zealander to know ?liat the vice-j-egal diningtable will be quite extensive, thirty feet long in fact, and that tho three dozen chairs for the dining-room must not cost more than £5 each. British oak is to De used in their manufacture. The drawing-room furniture will be either in the "Adams" or "Sheraton" style. Xo fewer than thirty-four mantel-pieces and grates hove to be provided, and theso will be purchased in "the Dominion by tender. So that the new.vice-regal residence at Mount View may bo completed in good time for the reception of Sir John Dickson-Poynder, the new Governor, the patients remaining in Mount View Mental Hospital are now being removed (says Friday's "New Zealand Times"). All the females will betaken to Porirua this week, and it is hoped that the men's auxiliary at that institution will ho completed in a week or so, enabling a portion of the male patients to be accommodated there. Others will be allocated among the other mental hospitals. Then the old building will be handed over to the I*ublic Works Department for demolition. The first institution of the kind on thnt fine site of 113 acres was erected in 1875. accommodating a hundred patients, but rapidly the necessity arose for additions, and the total capacity was eventually increased to 270 "patipnts. Prior to the establishment of Mount View ssvlum. there was an institution at Karori. which i«cived its first patient in the early fjft-'es. It'had to wait four years until the next came along.
The ordinary meeting of the City Council will be held this e-*ening at 7.30. On Saturday, at Rangiora, the Sumner Croquet Club was defeated by Rangiora by 275 points.to 202. The exhibition of the Art Society came to a close on Saturday evening, when there was a goodly attendance of visitors. The annual election of School Committees throughout the Canterbury education district will take place en Monday next, 23th inst. According to a Wellington Press Association message. Dr. Kennedy, rector of St. Patrick's College, reports having observed Halley's comet with tho naked eye yesterday morning. The South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society has unanimously decided to ask the Minister for Internal Affairs to declare a close season in South Canterbury for native game this year. The enquiry by the Commissioner, Mr T. A. B. Bailey, S.M.. regarding the proportions to be- contributed by the Ashley, Kowai, and Rangiora Road Boards and the Rangiora Borough Council, for the re-oonstructien and maintenance of the Ashley traffic bridge, opens at the Courthouse, R-mgiora, today. Three of the local Boards will bo represented by counsel, and it is expected tho taking of evidence will extend over about three days. At the meeting of the City Council this evening, the question of the Council requesting the Prime Minister to invite Lord Kilbrackeu and Lord Cobham, two of the descendants of the original Canterbury founders to visit Christchurch during the Diamond Jubilee, will be brought forward by tho Mayor. It will be recollected that tho matter was brought before his Worship recently by a deputation from the committee of the Old Colonists' Section of the Museum. Sergeant McGuire, who died on Thursday as the result of a bullet wound received in Hampton's garden on the night of Sunday week., while struggling with a man believed to bo Powelka. was conscious ri£;ht up to the end, and the nursinc: staff of tho Palmerston Hospital say that he was tho pluckiest patient ever admitted. He. was cheerful all the time, tho ''Past" reports, and just before he expired he said "rood-bye" to his family and relations. "Con an employer who employs a weekly wage hand under tho tailors' award, order such weekly wage hand to take a full week off owing to slackness of trade, and .'to escape paying wages during the said week? This question was recently submitted to the Arbitration Court. The Court lias answered emphatically, "No." An employer .is not entitled to order a worker to take a week off for any cause. The weekly wngo must be paid without any deduction, save for time lost through a worker's own default. "A Justice of the Peace has not the jurisdiction of any Court," said Mr J. W. Salmond, Solicitor-General, before the Court of Appeal at Wellington on Thursday. "His jurisdiction is merely personal, and he could hear a case in his own dining-room if he liked."- His Honour the Chief Justice stated that he knew of a case where a Justice <,F the Peace had heard a case on. the roadside nenr Clinton, and fined a man £5. Mr T. W. Stringer related a story of a Magistrate who tried a man in a coach, and hatl him locked up at the | journey's end. j A Press Association telegram from i Palmerston North states that the j "Manawatu Times" has received a ! writ for £501 damages for alleged libel in connection with the fire at Millar and Giorgi's recently. The writ is issued on behalf of Victor-51-Braund, and the libel is said to be contained in a statement by Superintendent Warner, of the local Fire Brigade, that someone had interfered with him at the fire, tho statement being published in the report of the fire. A writ for a similar amount has been issued against Superintendent Warner. A Dunedin Press Association message states that tho North Dunedin llhies, who had entered and were about to take part in a shooting match at the rifle range on Saturday, on the occasion of the firing for the Ladies 1 Challenge Shield, were notified thnt tho Officer Commanding tho District had issued instructions to the effect that the company would not be allowed.+o shoot under any consideration whatsoever. Last year the company had a lengthy controversy with tho military authorities over the election of a lieutenant, and it was Understood that the corps had disbanded. In order to allow of a fundamental part of Professor Bickerton's theory ol ( partial impact being placed before the members of the Philosophical Institute and fully dkcuased, a special meeting of the institute will be held on Wednesday next, at 8 p.m. This will jho held in the old chemical lecture < room at Canterbury College, when Proi feasor Bickerton will read a jw-pcr on "Recent Evidence in Favour of a Third Body." From the interest evoked in connection with the deductions of Professor Bickerton, the discussion should be an animated one. Our Wellington correspondent writes: —The new Governor will receive a severe shock when he sees himself as reproduced in black and white in the "New Zealand Times" nnd "Auckland Star." It appears that the ''New Zealand Times" meant to copy "Gyp's"' picture of Sir Dickson-Poynder from "Vanity Fair," but made the mistake of cooving the wrong picture, and tho "Auckland Star" copied the "New Zealand Times" picture. The portrait reproduced bears no resemblance whatever to our new Governor, and, as a matter of fact, is ? picture of the eentleman who was the Prince of Wr-les's cicerone in India. The "New Zealand Times" of Saturday, however, publishes the correct portrait. A very successful rally of the Canterbury Young Men's Methodist Biblo Class Union was held at Durham street last Monday, tho Rev. A. Mcßean presiding over a gathering representing the Addington, Lincoln- road, St. Albans, East Belt,, Woolston, New Brighton, and Durham street Young Men's Classes. A report on the New Zealand Bible Class Union's Easter Camp at Dunedin was given by the Rev. A. 15. Chappell, assisted by Messrs C. Sandfprd ("East Belt), H. E. Wilkinson, B.A. (Woolston), "and R. Hampton (Durham street), who reported that it was the mnst successful camp yet held, and expressed the opinion that the manliness, strength, and spirituality, of tho camp would make their effect* felt throughout the Dominion, both among the Bible classes and these outside the movement altogether. The sand-drift problem on the We c .t Oast is a serious problem for many Majiawatu farmers, and it will he brought under the Prime Ministers notine when he visits V.'craroa next week (says the "New Zealand Times ). Sir Joseph will be driven down to the coast, to view the encroachments and the means adopted to figcht the powerful foe. It is the intention of the member for the district. Mr W. H. Field, to introduce a deputation of settlers who desire the Government to acquire a strip of the boach upon which to experiment, not only in checking the drift, but to discover the best plants for the purpose, and the most suitable grasses- and fodder plants for the sandy soil. If the Government does not feel inclined to carry out the experimental work, a local committee ii prepared to do so if the land will be placed at their disposal. Mr W. H. Field has already done some useful work on these lines at his Waikanae farm, where sanddrift has been successfully tackled along a beach frontage of about two and a half miles.
The Government offices throughout New Zealand will be closed on St. George's Day. the 23rd inst. Revised regulations under which commissions in the British Army may be obtained by University candidates are gazetted. A movement is on foot to ask Mr W. F Massey, Leader of the Opposition, to visit the Wairarapa in the near luture and deliver political addresses. Sir Thomas Tancred, whose death was worded by cable last week, in August, 1853. was the lessee from the Provincial Government of Canterbury of 10,550 acres on the north bank of the river Ashburton. Mr Justice Chapman will sit in Chambers in Christchurch on Saturday, the 23rd inst., and on the following Monday in banco, for cases without witnesses. On Wednesday, the 27th, cases requiring tho attendance- of witnesses will be taken. At the Tramway Board's meeting to-day, the report of the Board's officers, in repiy to criticisms on the Heckthorne road route for the proposed Cashmere extension, will be submitted. This report bus been prepared under instructions from the Board. By the rearnungoment of the Timaru Borough Council waterworks loan of £00,000, there will be a saving to the ratepayers ot £1200 per annum to start with, and the saving will be greater after ;i time when still more favourable terms are obtained. It is understood that, in spite of the I recommendation of the Canterbury j Acclimatisation Society to the contrary, j j the Government has decided in favour ! '■ of an open season for shooting native 1 game, and that it will commence on May 14th. The Union Company. intend to proceed at an early date with the erection of their big Wellington laundry. The plant is to bo erected in Evans Bay, north of tho patent slip. The whole of the laundry work in connection with the company's fleet will be carried out at tho new establishment. Some of the peculiarities of grocers' assistants were referred to by Mr W. R Hasolden, S.M., at Wellington !ast week during the hearing of a case which came before him for trial. "Some assistants," ho remarked, "treat customers with deference; others e}\ e thciu a familiar nod as if they had J.-nown them for years, about the latest football match, ot the Palmerston scandal." He added that a particular class of shop wanted a. particular class of assistant. The witness u{io was in the box at -the time promptly intimated to the Bench that he considered he was quite capable of exhibiting due deference to his cusj tomers, a remark which drew from liis ■ Worship tb_ assurance that his observations had no personal application. Having received this assurance, tha grocer man proceeded to explain that a smart assistant "picked" his,man — frcmed his bearing according to the demeanour of the customer. "Yes, ' sceptically commented Mr Haselden. 'But you may make mistakea .sometimes—if a lady has not got tho latest bonnet on!" Complaint is made by the men casually employed at the local railway goods shed that, although their wages due,up to Thursday evening last were payable on Saturday, they were unable to get their money or to learn when it would be paid by the Department. The same thing has occurred once before this year, and the men, who point out that their earnings do not amount to a great deal, owing to broken time, naturally are r/,it to considerable inconvenience in beins unable to obtain their wages on the ordinary fortnightly pay-day. Apparently authority has to come from Wellington by telegraph for the payment of tho men, and it was no doubt i tho recent temporary interruption of i communication that srave rise to the trouble. The men. however, do not see that they should be made to suffer for the vagaries of the elements, and urge that some more effective system should be introduced. , A Palmerston North message states that the 3.30 p,m. train from Woodvillo had a very narrow escape from derailment in the Manawatu Gorge on Thursday. Just as the train emerged from the second tunnel from Ashhurst the driver became aware that a large body was travelling down the hillside at tremendous speed. He immediately applied the brakes, but this did not stop the train in time, and it crashed into a huge tree trunk 15ft long and sft in diameter just as it landed on tho hue. Tli© permanent way was* badly torn up, and the front of the engine damaged. A gang of permanent way men from the Gorge dislodged the tree and repaired the line, enabling tho train to continue it 3 journey. The engine was so severely battered that it bad to be replaced by another engine at Ashhurst. It was extremely fortunate that there was no worse disaster, as had the tree struck the engine broadside it is possible the whole train might 'have been hurled into the river below. A sensational shooting affair is" stated, to have occurred at Ngunguru, j near Whangaroi, on Friday morning, i when a young man named Arthur Han- ! sen. a_ed twenty, was alleged to have i been shot and seriously wounded by his father. It is said that the father had for some time past been treating his wife and family badly, arid the eldest son arrived from Ngaruawahia on (Thursday to take his mother and brothers away to his farm. On arrival j at his old home, Arthur Hansen found I that his father was away. He took hi.3 | mother and youngest brother to a relative's place to remain till he could j get them awny altogether, and return!- --! Ed homo to wait for his father. -Warm • words were exchanged between the puir j that night, and in the morning the father borrowed a gun from a Maori. Finding, the room in which liis sons were was locked, he broke down tbo I door. He fired at Arthur as he \\ti t Emoted to escape, nnd wonndod him. I in the croin, le?s .and hand. The father . then went across the bay in his launch. t kee.ranrj intending ruirstiers at bay with | the gun. He afterward? returned, and .ouietlv waited for the polite to arrest him. Tho young man is seriously wounded, but is expe-t?d to recover.

STATE OF THE EIYEBS. . As was only to be expected, all;the Canterbury fishing rivers were -repotted on Saturday as being dirty. PLUCKY SAILORS. The A.U.S.N. Company's steamer J > Suva, which rode out tho hurricane at a* Fiji without damage, reached Sydney * last week, and her passengers and offi- *■. cers described tho hurricane as one of ( X * the most severe experienced for some vcars. Captain" McLennan, during the height of the storm at 7 a.m. on Good Friday, observed an unfortunate native in' the water, and to save his life it was necessary to send a boat to his assistance. The ship's whaleboat -as lowered, and manned by four European sailors, in charge of Mr Shepherd, the second officer. It required a great deal of oluck to undertake the teat, but after" a difficult pull the native was saved, but the boat was carried away from the Suva out toward the open sea. The men battled bravely, and at 7 p.ni. ! the boat reached the Queen's Wharf j after twelve hours of continuous hard pulling without food or water. Capt-in McLennan signalled the "shore for aesisjtance, but it could not be given be- \ cause there was no launch available that could stand the heavy sea. Tha ' seas had struck the boat's sides so se- i ! verely that a largo portion of the paint -j had been beaten off. . •-. > VETERAN TRAGEDY QUEEN.
