NEWS OF THE DAY.

Variety and news value are tho keynotes of tho illustrations in "Tho Weekly Press," published this morning. The great excitement of tho past week lias been the municipal elections, and these aro noted in a large number of snapshots at tho booths in Christchurch and Wellington, as well as in portraits of a largo number of tha newly-elected Mayors and Councillors. Bishop Averill is so well-known locally that his doings iv his diocese are always of interest. In a couple of pictures we see him roughing it in tho back-blocks, showing that tho lifo of a colonial Bishop is no easy one. Another interesting set of pictures is tho opening of the Girls' Hostel in connection with the Christehurch Technical College, for hero future wives are to be trained in domestic economy. Little less interesting aro the illustrations dealing with bee-keeping, showing tho new departure in grading and packing honey for export. Thcro is a largo new view of Cathedral square, Christchurch, as well as a good panorama of tho Domain, Timara, and three pictures obtained in Miss Dv Faur's recent climbs in tho Southern Alps. The interest in H.M.S. New Zealand is maintained by some excellent pictures of tho super-Dreadnought at Napier, and tho festivities which wero held there. Besides those mentioned, there are dozens of pictures which deal with current happenings in' New Zealand and tho Homeland. Tho literary sections are, as usual, well filled, tho short stories by popular authors and Reading for Everybody true to its title. Altogether tho production is up to the best form of this popular weekly.

The Territorials who are charged,with "ducking" a reporter at the Sutton camp on April 19th, are (says our Duncdin correspondent) Sergeant James Carr Higby, Sergeant Thomas Atkinson Bunbury, Sergeant Cecil Jas. S. Nicholson, Sergeant Herbert Thompson, and Private Robert Kirkncss. The reporter is Charles Macan, of tho "Otago Daily Times" staff. Tho case was called at tho Dunedin Police Court yesterday morning, and adjourned to the 14th inst. It is understood that Mr Jlanlon has been retained to defend.

"I am unable to discover in the young men of to-day the sanio enthusiasm for local affairs as there used to bo among tho lads of thirty years ago," remarked the Mayor of Auckland, at tho opening of tie new V.M.C.A. Duikling. "I say with regret that our young Aucklanders prefer sports and pleasure to the more serious business of civic government. Personally, Ido not object to sport and pleasure, hut I do say that our young men are giving too much timo to amusement. I Hope I am. not pessimistic, but, as Chief Magistrate of the city, I think it only right that I should ask the young men to take a greater. interest in the government of their city."

Tho general public aro no£ generally aware of the value of honey as a- food.. It is said that ono pound of honey will go as far as one butter," and when it is remembered that honey can be bought for about half tho price of butter, tho assertion that it is economical to use honey is proved. Another point in its favour is that it is at once ready for assimilation, the bees having, before storing tho honey in the comb, prepared it. Honey may bo used, and is better, for sweetening summer drinks, tea aud coffee, than sugar. It may bo used in cakes, and has the advantage of always keeping anything that it is used in moist. At the forthcoming Chrysanthemum Show honey cakes will bo shown. It may be mentioned that confectioners use largo quantities of honey, and there is one firm in Germany which prefers to discontinue making a special kind of biscuit if unable to procure Jnoney as a sweetening agent.

The steamers Kia Ora and "Whakatano, which arrived last week, brought between them approximately i<l2o motor cars for Auckland and "Wellington (says the Auckland "Herald"). The majority of these are light "runabouts," but a number of larger and moro expensive cars are included. The motors are almost all American. These shipments are considered to bo almost exceptional, and aro remarkable in that the demand for I motors naturally falls off during the winter months. It is stated by tho firm for whom they are destined that they are practically all to order, and the same firm further states that during tho past six months it has placed one hundred cars between Auckland and Gisborne. It is interesting to note that there are now registered in Auckland 1163 motor-cars and motor-cycles, of which number tho wv» " ot accoun t for more than -00. Dunn" the past four months, there won* 173 motor vehicles registered locally. b

The vagaries of a bull caused some excitement at Ohakune a couple of days ago (says tho "dominion - ). On tno arrival of a southern stock train, it was found that a bullock in one of tho trucks had fallcu down, and was m danger of beiui: seriously injured. i i>trorta were made to get it on its feet by playmg water from a hose into the truck; but. ns this proved a failure, it was decided to take the animals out and thus make room. An effort ma<le to perform this operation at the trucking yard ended in orcat excitement. A bull, which had evidently seen maddened by tho jet of water, was no sooner taken out of the truck tflan it rushed into tho sheep race, and took a flying lean on to the raillT»' V i Jt thon cfiarged along the i>ne, and an engine-driver on his way to work found it necessary to exercise t),A • VST to a T oid bein S tossed into vie aw. fho animal proceeded along tuo hno in tho direction of Horopito.

{ Owing to Touch weather in Cook Strait, one telegraphic cablo broke on Saturday, and another developed a serious fault to-day, leaving only three in good working order. Messrs P. and I). Duncan, Ltd., of Christchurch, have undertaken to supply the Government with cross<irm& in connection with tho Lako Coleridge hydro-electricsJ schenio for the sum of £012. The only other tenderers were Messrs John Waller and Pons, Ltd., who offered to supply tho goods for £■5-13 15s.

For many years the chrysanthemum show has been greatly handicapped for want of a suitable hall, but the Art Gallery has been secured for tho show to-morrow and Thursday, and as tho chrysanthemums have had a vorv favourable season, the show should bo tho best held for many years. Tlu> Beekeepers' Association's exhibit will bo an extra attraction, and on tho whole the show should bo a very successful one if tho weather is fine.

A Press Association message from Hamilton states that an offender who has been repeatedly before the Court for failing to attend parades under tho Territorial scheme, w.-w again brought before, tho .Magistrate yesterday, nud fined £5 and costs. It was stated that the offender had not attended drill or camp since tho_ scheme was initiated. The offender snid he did not believe in the scheme, and would never attend the parades. Another offender was fined £3 and costs.

A member of tho local profession intends to introduce a Bill in Parliament next session to prevent X.C.'s practising as solicitors (says a Wellington Press Association telegram). Ho desires to place* King's Counsel in New Zealand on tho same footing as that occupied by barristers in England, where the* two classes of profession (barristers and solicitors) aro distinct. The gentleman moving in this matter maintains that X.C.'s ought to give something in retnrn for tho titlo and State recognition they receive. They should eeaso practice as solicitors. l'he Council of tho Auckland Branch of the Law Society intimates its inability to support the proposal, and a meeting of the profession in Wellington to consider the subject this week is expected to be lively.

Complaint has been made that young men charged with failing to register as Territorials, are kept waiting at the Magistrate's Court pending the hearing of their cases, and while so waiting sit listening to tho evidence given in other cases, which may bo of a very und&sirablo nature. The matter was brought under the notice of Mr H. W. Bishop, senior magistrate, by a "Press" representative yesterday. Mr Bishop said ho thought it was undcifrable that the lads should be kept waiting about the Court. Ho would, therefore! endeavour to have a special day set apart each month for the hearing of the Territorial cases. The first special sitting would take place on Friday, June 13th, at 10.30 a.m., and others would follow a= occasion (required and circumstauces allowed.

Tho assistants employed in the hairdressing saloons are anxious that they should receive the Saturday half-holi-dny, with the other trades, in place of the Thursday, which it is competent to give them in pursuance of the exemption, so far as Saturday closing is concerned, granted to the hairdressing trade. They complain that in viow of the universal Saturday half-holiday Thursday will be of little value to them, for all the sporting fixtures of •that day will.be abolished. It is also alleged that if Friday is to be made the late night' of the week, the assistants will be required to work till 8 p.m. that night instead of 6 p.m., as at present, and will also hare to be on late duty on .the Saturday night. A few of the proprietors axe willing to close on the Saturday afternoon, and a meeting of employers is to be hold this week to consider tho matter..

Tho members of the Wellington Hotel Employees' Union aro still urging for a, definite interpretation of tho law as to tho employment of unregistered girls in privato and public bars in tho licensed houses of tho Dominion. The Act passed in October last has not yet boon enforced, and the whole question is still in abeyance because of the notice of appeal mado against ttie Magistrate' 8 decision in February last, which upheld the decision of the Act that girls not in possession of certificates could not be legally employed. In response to enquiries made by. the Union, the Crown Law Officers state that no fixture has yet been made for the hearing of the appeal- 'The grievance of tho Union is that a statute enacted seven months ago is still not administered because of the use of legal machinery to stave it off.

Tho Marino Department states that ! there is every likelihood that tho supply of rock oysters this year ivill'be quite equal to tho demand. Mr Geo. Allport, Secretary for Marino, inspected the beds when bo went round tho north Island witfi tho Hinomoa in March last, a.r>d found them looking splendid. In those localities whero no picking was done last season tho ovst-ers arc very numerous, ai<d tho-quality is said to bo first-class. The season opened last Thursday, and it is believed that there will bo m> necessity to closo it until tlio end of October. Tho beds which aro now being picked over includo some of a number m the Bay of Islands and supplies aro also coming to hand from \\aiheke, Rangitoto and Mahurangi. ahoso at tho last-named place wero closed last year and aro looking all tho better for the rest which they received. Tho season for Stewart Island oysters which oponed this year on March Ist, will also close on October olst.

Tenders have been received by the Government for the installation of uutonutic Mepiioao equipments in Auckland Wellington. Blenheim, Hamilton .Masterton, andOau-aru. Each of these towns is to bo fully equipped with telephones on the automatic principle. ) h ? N t }? U ? GT ? wero ca!led . it ™ stated that the two cities of Wellington and Auckland had practically outgrown the ultimate capacity of the of switch-board, and that muck ot the present equipment was badly worn, while as to the smaller places, they had vory inferior appliances, and it was decided to equip them with what was considered the mast efficient system. As the tenders, winch have now been received aio of a highly technical character, and could not have been dealt with m the ordinary way by .ho Tenders Hoard that body has had associated with it in connection With tne consideration of the automatic telephone tenders, Messrs J. Orchiston (tuief telegraph engineer) and T. liuciitey (cluet electrician of the Post and i Tclegcaph Department).

It is understood that thero are some doubts as to tbo petition asking for a recount m respect to the election of council ors for the Linwood Ward boinc proceeded with. • Tlio following is the result of the second night's play in the Christchurch Itard Association's competition :—Lin, ' I wood No. 2. 32; Addington, 21- Duncan's. 26; Tramway No. 1, 15; Linwood No. 1 wou from Tramway No 2 by default. At the. Wellington Magistrate's Court yesterday, Stephen Golding and .lamesLyndhurst wore convicted of stealing a money-box containing sixpence and damaging another in St. Peter's Church (says a Press Association telegram). Each was fined 40s, in tfe. fault fourteeu days' imprisonment. ._, T^. o P" s °ners on remand, John Fairloy and George Groves, who es« raped from the Palmerston North lockup on Sunday evening, are still at largo (says a Press Association nics- \ h(? Pohco are out scouring tho district, but so far there is no clue to their location. Tho escape was facilitate! by tho insecure naturo of" tho lock-up. Tho Appeal Court at Wellington vestorday delivered judgment in tho caso Hopkirk v. McEwan, an appeal nfeainst tlio judgment of the Chief Justice in connection with an infringement of a patent. Tho Court dismissed the appeal, holding that tho Chief Justice was richt in holding that appellant's macluno was an infringement of McEwan's patent. Tho Court, however increased the damages allowed by Sir Robert Stout from £13-1 18s to £247 11s. Costs were- also allowed in the Supremo Court as in £600, and iv the «-. Appeal Court on the highest scale, Tho chief thing with which tho officers in chargo of Territorial camps hnvo to contend is lack of thought, tsundny ■ at Temploton furnished a lino example of this when a man left his tent without an overcoat, in driving rain. He ' walked to tho watercourse. hid his coat in one puddlo and his shirt in another, and stood in his singlot in tho rain while ho washed. Having finished his ablutions, ho resumed the sodden gar-' tnents. While the incident was a nno testimony to the inherent cleanliness of the colonial, it was a terrible example ■ of tho avoidable sickness-for which the system is blamed. ~ Seven men chnrged with drunkenness wore tho only offenders dealt with by Jut H. W. Bishop, S.M., at tho Jlnj»is- " trato's Court yesterday. James Law waa , arrested for insobriety on Saturday, and » in the evening ho was bailed out, when ho celebrated his liberty by getting drunk again, and ho was later arrested once more. He was fined 10s, in default 43 hours' imprisonment on each of two chargos of drunkenness. Six first offenders, one of "whom was found . drunk in Colombo street on Sunday, . were each fined os, in default 2-1 hours' imprisonment. The 20th annual irenoral meeting of the - Savage Club was held at tho Chamber of Commerco last evening. Pjtxjsidenfc Savage W. W. Collins occupied tho , chair, and all tho committee and fifty Savages were present. Tho. following were elected officers, for. the ensuing year:— Savage Dr. E. Jennings; vice-presidents. Savage A. 11. Holdship, Savage A. IT.'"Wright; bon. secretary, Savage F. Notley Meadows; honl treasurer, Savage R. «J. Hebbs; committee, Savages F. E. Wright, I. P. Itackley, A. L. Cropp, Walwork XI.

Through the vigilant efforts of the /■ police a check has been put upon the ' ■* depredations of tho bicycle thief in ~* Christehurdi, but now a more skilful •" fy evil-doer is menacing the property of " tho citizens to whom timo is money. A \ shadow ia hanging over the owner of ' '- tho motor-cycle, and it is well for him to keep his machine ia a safe place ,• • these days. Last week one man ileft his machine standing outside a' business •; establishment in a much-frequented-',' . roadway, and when lie came outside [ again, within a few minutes, the motor-, cyclo had gono. In fact, six disappear- ; }■ ance3 of a similar naturo have' been ' ;■ reported to tho police within tlio last c, four or five months, representing *, fairly considerable loss in.property* ' Some t interesting observations on"'-* transactions embodying tie exchange of' .' properties wore made by Mr H- W. . Bishop. S;M., in tho course of a judg* . ' ment delivered in tho Magietrate'e. Court yesterday. It was tne practice, he declared, for the owners of properties to place excessively high values on properties they desired to ex- . change, and in many cases one party tried to "have"the other party in th»,. way. Ho roalised the impropriety these transactions, and while the praetico was prevalent all over' the Do-. minion, Mr Bishop said he did not think"' it was carried on to the same extent any whore else as in this district. Land .<• agents naturally benefited from such practice, but agents in finch cases ; should only receive what they were entitled to under tho law. Mr Bishop declared that ho would always discourage these transactions.

Tho house with the en rtainlcss windows, and branded with tho "To Let" sign, is proving almost a gpld mine to a-certain class of people just now in Christchurcb. There is something American in tho celerity and calmnes* with which they carry out their nefarious work, and so far at least, little has boon ascertained of their identity in private life. Tho plan is a simple one. ■ The empty home is entered at a tinw when tho neighbourhood is "silent &a ■ the pathless desert," and the criminal* proceed to remove whatever may prov.tof tho loast possible value. Even !i . the house is listed as "unfurnished," they succeed in securing a good deal of booty. In one case, for instance, the range wne taken to pieces and made nwny with, as well as the handles and . locks of tho doors, fastenings' of the windows, a few odd pots and pans and several other trifles that could be d'sposcd of without much difficulty. Tbtf thieves had also a certain sense o humour, for when the owner re-enicrw the house she fonnd written in whit chalk on the mantelpiece tho words.. "You can have what's left."

\ meeting of tho Labour Represents- " . ■ tion Committee was held last evening at tho Trades Hall. Mr H. Hunter w tho chair. The chief tonic of discussion was tho recent municipal elections, and comment was made on tho unsatisfactory nature of tho Municipal Corporations Act, in that it included no provision for a proper offi- . • cial count, as was the custom in drying with tho polls for the Parliamentary elections. Tho cornmitteo expressed itself of opinion that provision should be mado for tho taking of an official count and tho supervision or the rolls by deputies, as the absence of these restrictions placed a premium on malpractices. It was resolved ( -* to bring the matter before tho City Council at its first to try to i procure an amendment. Satisfaction i was expressed that, while a majority of . , Social Democratic candidates had not - | j been returned, most of the returned ,-,] ' candidates actually advocated tho inaitt ,- j planks of that party. A vote or ' -.1 • thanks was accorded tho.se who had "J J taken part in the work of the elections. .

A fair idea of feeding at the casualty camp at Templeton may bo gathered from a story that one of the officers tells.

"Eat them, sir!" There was a slight pause, and then tho lad added, "It 1 «an. w

LINCOLN'S WAY WITH OFFICESEEKERS.
