A PROMINENT CHICAGO WOMAN SPEAKS.

Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, VicePresident Illinois Woman's Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, says: " I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at, once. lam now entirely recovered, save a doctor's bill, time and Buffering,-and I will never be without this splendid medicine again." For sale by Welsman and Whiter the Pharmacy, Napier.

', • About half a dozen petitions from Napier against the Shops and Offices Bill were presented in the house last evening, by Mr A. L. D. Fraser. The subscribers and members of the Athenseum are reminded that the annual 1 general meeting of that institution will be held this evening. The burial of the remains of Trooper - McKechnie, who succumbed to an attack of enteric at Dunedin hospital, were com- >■ mitted to their last restingplaceyesterday with military honors. . A large number. , of volunteers and civilians attended the funeral. There was an appreciative audience at the Theatre Royal laet night to witness , the final entartainment given by the Ada Delroy Company. The various •• turns " proved very enjoyable. The piano used throughout the season was a fine Lipp • supplied by the Dresden Company. The many friends of Mr H. P. Cohen, who recently left for Sydney to consult a specialist with regard to a throat affection", will be glad to hear tbat the trouble is not so serious as was feared. A private cable massage received in town, announces that the doctor thinks lightly v - of the necessary operation, which is lobe performed about the end of this week.

Our Parliamentary special wires:— "Mr A. L. U. Fraser fecandalisedthe House to-night by referring 10 the whips ha /ing to hunt members from Bellamy's for a division, but when someone dis-~ claimed the inference that members wasted their time in that mysterious refectory the member for Napier hastened to add, " Bellamy's is the place wheremembers go for a cup of tea," and several hon. members coughed audibly. " The rainfall recorded at the undermentioned places for the month 6f Junewas as follows: —Rakamoana 3*33 inches,* Petane 1-60, Napier 1-34, Hastings 1-98, Waimarama 2*76, Mangakuri 2"01, Te' Aute 2-95, Maraekakaho 1"79, Gwavas--1-89, Mount Vernon 1;77. The heaviest fall recorded (35.85) was at Quartz Range (Collingwood) and the lightest (0.05) at Ranfurly. In the House yesterday Mr A. L. D. Fraser asked the Minister for Railways what is the comparison in consumption of fuel between the " Baldwin " engines and those made in England and the colony t Sir Joseph Ward said the matter was of great importance and the Railway Department had been instructed to have "trials made of the fuel consumed by the "Baldwin," Colonial, and English locomotives. As soon as he received that information he would place it before the member for Napier. A' telegraphic match between the Wairoa and Napier Chess Clubs was . played last night, and resulted in favor of the former. For Wairoa Mr Oacar Johnson defeated Mr B. Evans and Mr H. H. Carr succeeded in gaining such au. advantage that his opponent, Mr P« Dinwiddie, resigned. Mr W. Riddel! secured the only win for Napier,, defeating Mr W. F. Shaw. The game between Mr James Caughley (Wairoa) and Mr Walter McCarthy (Napier) was unfinished ; and will be adjudicated upon, probably against Napier. A draw was played, by Dγ Milne-Thomaon (Wairoa) andl Mr S. Mackay (Napier). At the finish,of the play Wairoa had thus scored two wins, one loss, one draw, while, ac already stated, a game ia held over for adjudication. The oificer-in-eharee. Mr Keys,

is lo be complimented upon the satibfactory manner in which the telegraphingwas done. Napier lovere of music viil.be delighted to hear that atraugem nu have been complnied for the appeai'a"ce htiie, for one night only, of Mustjiovo's Grand Opera Company, perhaps the strongest organisation gf its kind that the colonies have yet known. Hen Ben no Scherek, himself a musician of well-earned fame, arrived by the Elingamite from Auckland thi3 morning to attend to the necce'-sary preliminaries, and he informs us that a, complete operatic recital of Gounod's. "Faust , " will be given by the full strength of the company in the Theatre Royal on the evening of Thursday, the,Btli August. By describing the performance' as a " recital " it is meant that the whole' of the music will be sung and played by the same principals, chorus, and Orcheßti a as in Australia and Auckland, but that circumstances will not permit of the opera being presented here in costume av with the customary scjnio effects. The management consider this a better plan to adopt than to attempt a representation ot the opera with makeshiit unsatisfactory appointments.
