Evening Post. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1894. THE UNEMPLOYED RELIEF WORKS.

• A Bimplk and unpretentious appeal is made in our advertising columns to thoso who havo not yot subscribed to tho Unemployed Relief Fund. We sincerely hope that it will prove effectual, and place tho Committee in possession of tho funds which are required* Wellington has gained great credit in all parts of the colony for what it has already done in this matter. The large sum raised by voluntary subscription and subsidies thereon has been expended in tho moat judicious manner. Not only has roliof been afforded where it was urgently required, and honest work given in place of charity, but a useful pnblio improvement has aleo beon effcotod. Directly and indirectly groat benefit has rosultod from the admirable and energetic offorts of tho gentlemen who so disinterestedly took the matter up. All who havo visited tho Queen's Drive works concur in the verdict that what has been dono has beon well dono. Tho work is of a substantial character, and woll worth what it has cost. Tho men employed upon it have worked honestly and well, and tho relief afforded thorn by tho employment has been most opportune, and is fully appreciated. Never, perhaps, has relief boon given to the unemployed in a more prudent or judicious manner, or with better results. Had these works not been opened we do not know what would have hupponcd here during the last month or two. There would havo boon widospread and bitter distress. Tho cry of [ tho unemployed in our midst was a thoroughly sincero ono. Thoro woro largo bodios of inou able and willing to work if only work oould bo found for them, and who in the abßonce of work would have had to starvo or live upon charity. The Belf-respect of these men has been saved by giving them work in place of charity, and tho rates have bfion saved also. Tho Charitable Aid contributions would necessarily have been far j larger than tho sums contributed from the rates by way of addition on the largo amount of public subscriptions. And for the Charitable Aid disbursements ihere won] dbara been nothing to show beyond a certain demoralisation on the part of tha recipients. For the money now expended tbdre is a good substantial return to show. It was a happy

thought to undertake tho construction of the Queen's Drive under the circumstances. No moro useful work could possibly be devised. Wellington urgently needs an outlet of tho kind — the want is becoming more apparent and more pressing evory day, as Wellington grows in importance as a business centre. When tho Queen's Drive is completed, the reproach that thero is nowhere to drive to will be removed. Wellington will, perhaps, have tho most beautiful drive which is to be found near any city in New Zealand. Tho coastal scenery which the Queen's Drive will command will be unequalled in any part of tho colony in its wild grandeur and picturesque beauty. Socially, and from a business point of view, the Quoen's Drive will prove a profitable asset to Wellington, and thero is a possibility that this work, intended to commemorato Hor Majesty's Jubilee, and which has been made the medium of so much practical charity, may bo formally opened by the Queen's grandson, if, as is rumoured, H.RH. tho Duke of York visits these colonies in the course of a few months. But to finish the Drivo requires more money, and it is impossible that tho ordinary labonr markot can yet absorb all tho labour now employed on the relief works. Last week tho wages list totted up to .£ICB, and on this sum about 400 mouths were dependent for food. The Committee is approaching the end of its funds, and it is most anxious to bo placed in a position to continue to afford employment to thoso who need it until the season is more advanced and ordinary work moro readily procurable, as well as to complete the Drive which it has taken in hand. It will bo poor economy to turn tho men now earning a living adrift again to become burdens on the public charity, and it will bo little short of a disgrace to thoso wealthy and well-to-do citizens who havo not yet subscribed if the Qneen's Drive has to be left in an unfinished condition. In fact, unless it is finiehed so as to connect the two ends constructed, what has been done will be of little use. Thero aro a great many people who have not yot subscribed who aro well ablo to do so, and who will benefit directly and indirectly by the completion of tho work. We hope all those will at onco send in their contributions to Mr. M'Lellan. Tho total amount requirod is not large. A few hundred pounds will suffice. There aro wealthy oitizens who oould, without missing it, place the Committee in a position to complete its work, and so earn tho gratitudo of tho public, but unfortunately exhibitions of public spirit of this kind are not common amongst those who could in Wellington afford to mako them, and tho Committee will probably have to depend on small contributions. We hope theso will quickly provo sufficiently numerous to onablc the good work, towards whicß so much has already been dono, to be carried to completion.

At last a quack lias in some racasuro rocoived bis doborts, and it Las beon brought homo to tho whole fraternity who presume to prescribe for ailmentb they do not understand that they are responsible in person and in purse for the consequenoos of their ignorant advico. Ridiculously inadequate to his offence as is tho sontence passed upon tho man Board in Auckland, it will doubtless prove a warniug to tho whole tribo ' of impostors and charlatans of whom ho is a type, while the remarks of Mr. Justice Conolly, in passing sentence, will point the moral not only to tho illegitimate practitionors, but also, wo bopo, to their dupes. New Zealand has hitherto been a happy bunting ground tor quacus of all descrip. tions. Tho people have rushed with blind fanatical haste to throw thomselvos at the feet of evory impostor who came along professing his or her ability to -work miracles on the human frame, and Bcores of these quacks have carried away from the colony thousands of pounds obtained as fees from patients who havo, as a general rule, been left worse in health than they woro before they parted with their money. Others of tho fraternity have come and settled in tho colony to trade upon tho credulity of its people after having made other places too warm for them by their illegal practices. Apparently, from tho Judge's remarks, Beard was ono of this class. That he was an ignorant impostor was proved by his own admissions, and yot it seems many respoctablo people could have beon fonnd to go into tho witness-box and declare lhat they belioved in his medical ability. Poor fools ! Tho days of miraculous healing are past, and oven if they were not, it is very unlikely tliat men of tho Beard stamp would bo chosen as the possessors and administrators of the power. The human body is a wonderfully uomolex machine, and thorongh knowledge —a knowledge only to bo obtained by study, instruction, and experience — is necessary to rendor safe any interferonco with even its most simple parts or functions. In no branch of life is knowledge moro essential than in medical treatment, and yot wo find men and women submitting thomsolvcs to ignorant pooplo for treatment for disease, who would scout tho idea of entrusting tho drawing up of a mortgage to anyone who was ignorant of tho law of real property. In Beard's caso it was actually a bank manager who consulted him, aud by doing so sacrificed tho life of his son. Wo do not wish to augment the natural grief he must feel at his ill-advised action, bnt it is impossible to refrain from expresing astonishment that a man in his position should be so credulous as to consult such a quack or accept the advioo of ono. Mr. M'Cull'.ugh would not, wo aro quite sure, put his ledgers in charge of a man who had novor learned bookkeeping, although ho was quite ready to accept a medical prescription from a man who had never studied medicine. Yet one transaction iB as unreasonable as the other, and tho quack is moro dangerous than the nonbookkeeper would bo. Wo hope this Auckland case will not only prove a deterrent to quaoks, but that it will open the eyes of people genorally to the inexousable folly of taking the advice of men who have not been qualified by education to give it. regarding tho ailments to whioh fleßh is heir. Those who do so'aro moro credulous than Dogberry, who asserted that "to bo a woll-fayoured man is the gift of fortune, bnt to writo and read comos by nature." Wo protest against the atrocity of naming any placo '• Stevonsvillo." The appellation of "Three Log Whare," even, is far moro picturesque and euphonious. It is surely not possible that a lot of members of the Uouso which has just been passing a Bill to reform the nomenclature of places, should havo evolved &uch a horror as Stevensville. And there was a poet amongst thorn, also ! Surely Mr. Steward's poetic soul must revolt against such a designation. Mr. Stevons himself can scarcely, wo should think, dosieo to have his patronymic porpotuated with the vile addition of " vilio," by being affixed to a pretty spot. Ho could, wo aro quite certain, suggest a prettier and far more suitable Maori namo for tho placo. Wo had hoped that tho Designation of Districts Aot would have prevented tho I creation of any moro " villes "; yot it seems that tho very first place to bo re-named under it, members of tho Houso standing as sponsors, is to be tho abomination of a Stovensvillo. Why should such a wrong be inflicted on the plaoo? Did the members get bad whisky there, that thoy descend to such a revenge ? Even such a cause would not justify tho outrage. Tho article which wo publish in another column from the Hobart Mercury, and the roport from tho Government entomologist of Tasmania as to the alleged eodlin-moth-affected apples condemnod by tho Customs authorities at this port, placo thoso officials in a rather absurd position. They evidently do not know the moth by sight, and their ignorance has initiated a serious hardship on tho_ growers or importers of the rejected fruit. The Premier has also boon placed in a falso position, and caused to mako himself ridiculous in tho eyos of tho Tasmanian Government. Tho owners of tho fruit havo, wo think, a cloar caso against tho Government for compensation. A very little knowledge of the habits of the pest tho Customs officers were Booking to guard agaiust would havo shown that the apples could not have boen affected by the codlin moth at that period of the year. Wo hope no more fruit will bo rejected withont oxport advico. A description of the now procoss for tho smelting of Endoavonr lulot antimony, an articlo on tho recent codlin moth soaro in Wellington, reviews of books, Parliamentary matter, and a nowE-lotter from Woodvillo, will bo found on tho fourth page. Tho last Australian mail brought to Sir James Hector an intimation that ho had been elected an honorary member of the Koyal Geographical Society of Australasia. Tho tondor of Mr. Joseph Saunclcrs has been accepted for tho construction of the seawall on Clydo-quay. The amount has not transpired. The object of tho work is to enable provision for a depot for the rofuso from tho Dostrnotor. Mr. J. P. Maxwell, M.I.C.X, before leaving for Wostport last week, received a cable raosaapo from London asking if ho would accept an ungineor-inspectorship undor tho Local Govornmont Board. He has, however, docidpd for the present to remain in New Zealand, and fulfil his professional engagemonts. We aro pleased to notioe that Mr. C. A. Deacon, who has been laid np for 14 weeks with an attack of typhoid fever, is about town again. During the fortnight ending on the 12th instant 129 out-patients' tickets for the Hospital were issued, by tho following Trustees :— Mr. J. Danks, 57 ; Eev. H. Van Staveren, 49 ; Mr. F. H. Fraser (Chairman), 10; Mr. C. E. Willeston, 4; Mr. E. C. Kirk. 4; Mr. J. Collins, 3 ; Mr. G. Allen, 1 ; Mr. L. L. Harris, 1. Seventy-Beven -were able to pay for the tickets. The number of visits made by the out-patients was 499. During tbe fortnight 513 bottles of medicine wore supplied, and only 169 were paid for. Mr. Collins suggested at the meeting of the Trustees this morninjr that some tickots should bo left at the Hospital for thoso unfortunate people who woro unablo to hunt up a Trustee. Tho meeting, however, did not ocoopt the suggestion. Mild excitement was caused in WillisBtrect opposite the Empire Hotel abont 8.30 this morning, by the near-side horse — one of threo— of a vohiole belonging to the Wellington 'Bus Co. kicking over the traces. The swingletreo got loose, and dangling abont tho animal's legs, frightened it and the other horses, so that the team became unmanageable. The 'bus swerved to the off-side and collided with the vegetable cart of a Chinese gardonor named Lee Hung, who was thrown j heavily, and was picked np and carried into ' tho dispensary of Mr. W. C. FitzGorald, moaning pitoonsly. Subsequently ho was nttendod by Dr. Chappie. Although considerably shaken and brnißod, ho had no bones brokon and soon recovorcd. The bolting 'bus horso was stopped by Constable Griffiths at somo personal risk and with commendable presence of mind. Mr. Martin, S.M., presided in the Magis trate's Conrt to-day, and dealt with several first offondors for drunkeuuoss, and with Hannah Scnlly, alias M'Carthy, who wsa fined 40s, or seven days' imprisonment, for habitual drunkenness. Mary Harris did not appear to answer a summons charging hor wath h«.ving desiroye'l pliLzrfc3 io tHe cemetery on the 12th inst., and a warrant for her arrest was ordered U> isaue. On the charge of furious riding, Julius Lumberg was fined 20s, with 7s oosts.

" Ratepayer " writes :— I saw by Saturday night's paper that tho City Council do not intend to pay their men for holidays, except Christmas Day and Good Friday. Now, Sir, might I ask if tbia will apply to the Drainago Engineer, the Town Clerk, and our hardworking City Engineer, or is it only intended for those poor hardworking men who have to be out iv the wet and cold working in our streets while tho other portion of tho staff are in their comfortable offices and receiving larga salaries." An addition of 10 par cent, has been made by the Education Hoard to the capitation grantto School Committees for the purpose of relieving the Board of the numerous applications which are constantly beiDg made tor special grants. In a circular sent to the committees, it is urged that local efforts must now be made to meet many of those claims which have hitherto been dealt with by the Board, as the moderate amount of building grant annually received from the Government necessitates the greatest care in its distribution even to meet tho growing want of schools in new settlements and pressing claims for additions to existing buildings. Tho Trustees of the Hospital met this morning, there being present — Messrs. F. H. Fraser (in tho chair), G AlleD, J. Collins, C. W. Brown, J. Danks, L. L. Harris, C W. Wilkston, R. C. Kirk, and Rev. H. Van Staveren. A letter was -read from the Gas Company stating that, if tho prico of gas were reduced to the general public, a pro ruta reduction would be made to the Trustees. The Treasurer (Mr Allen) said that the gas bills were setting heavier, and it was time that an effort should be made to keep down the oxpenso in that direction. Tho Chairman thought it was desirable to have the burners and tbo cooking apparatus overhauled. The Treasurer said that last month's bill amounted to £>5. The Chairman pointed out that tho new ward had recently been opened, and consequently more gas had been required. Ho thought new burners should be fitted up. On the motion of Mr. Kirk, seconded by Mr. Harris, it was decided that tho Secretary should examine the burners, and report to tho next meeting of tho House Committee. A letter was read from Miss E. L. Johnston asking for a renewal of a lease of a reserve of land at Thorndon for 21 years. The application was granted. Mr. L. L. Harris presented the Trustees with a lawn-mower, and a vote of thanks was passed to him for his generosity. An elderly woman named Stratford appeared in tho Magistrate's Court to-day, before Mr. Martin, S.M., to prosequte her two sons, Richard and Edmund S(ratford, for failing to comply with an ordor of the Court that they should contribute towards her snpport.. The delinquents, wbo did not appear, were in arrears — Richard to the extent of £3 Is, while Edmund owed 28s. Riohavd, immediately he was summoned, paid in his arrears, but his Worship, as a warning to others in a similar position, inflicted upon him a fine of 40s as a penalty for having fallen into arrears. Tho other brother, who was still in default, was ordered to be imprisoned for 14 days unless he pays up forthwith. In accordance with the roaolution passed at its last meeting, the Education Board is now notifying its teaching staff that no salarios will be increased on any account whatever until fnrther notice. This, it is pointed out, is rendered necessary by the absorption of the whole of tho Board's income to meet the increased payments consequent upon the additions made to salaries and capitation at tho beginning of the year. The strictest economy will now be necessary, the Board says, in order to avoid a reconstruction of its expenditure. By tho end of next year, however, it is hoped that the finances will enable all payments to be made in full terms of the then classification of teachers and pupil teacher b. Tho Secretary of tho Irish National Federation lias recoived from the Irishmen of Paline»ston North, through Mr. T. O'Lcary, .£2O 5s towards tho funds. This, added to £55 which the committee expects tobavoafter paying all expenses (about;£l7) of the late entertainment, brings the amount up to J875, which it is hoped will be still further augmented by spocial donations before tho 'Frisco mail loaves. Mr. Martin, City Solicitor, appeared in tho Magistrate's Conrt to-day before Mr. J. C. Martin, S.M , on behalf of the City Corporation, for tho purpose of calling upon two old men named William and Christopher Lockyor to show cause why an old wooden shanty In Mulgrave-strcet, next to St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, should not be demolished, in accordance with tho City Corporation by-laws. Dr. Grace gave ovidenco that tho structure roferred to was in a dangorous condition, and thereforo a monaco to tho public health. A certificate to the same effect was furnished by another medical man. Tho respondents did not attend in answer to their summonses, and in their absenco his Worship ordered the demolition of the houso within tho nest ten days. Tho committee of tho Wellington Kennel Club mot at the Central Hotel last evening, Mr. B. Triggs in the chair. It was decided to ask Dr. Deamer, of Christchurch, who represents the club on tho ex6Cutivo of tho New Zoalond Kennel Club, to move at the next meeting of that body that the headquarters should be removed forthwith to Wellington. Mr. R. Triggs was elected Chairman of the Committee for the year. The 30th prox. was fixed as the latest date for receiving entries for the annual show. The civil case in which Hugh Dongherty, cabman, sued an expressman named R. Needham for tho recovery of .£lO, value of a horse alleged to have been detained, and damages for its detention, was heard by the Stipendiary Magistrate yesterday afternoon. A mass of evidence of a contradictory nature was taken, and eventually judgment was given for the defendant. Mr. Bolton was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wilford for tho defendant. A couple of somewhat peouiiar cases wero heard, in which two bnilding sub-contractors named R. Carpenter and G. Snaddon sued E. P. Bunny, of the Lower Hntt-tho former for £62, whilst Snaddon claimed £M 10s. The question at issue was in respect of work done on a subcontract with M'Gregor and Newton, tho contractors for tho erection of a house for the defendant. Mr. Skerrett, for the defendant, raised a nonsuit point that tho present proceedings had not been co cmenccd within CO days of the completion of tho work. Dr. .Findlay appeared for the plaintiffs. Jndgmont was reserved. Coolgardio is stated by a recent visitor to have grown in nine months to 20 times its previous size, and properties which could havo been bought for between ,£2O and have rison in prico within the same period to between .£2OOO and .£3OOO. There wore at the time of his latest visit a lot of men knocking about doing nothing— such mon as aro always found on a gold fi old, unwilling to leave tho town -but most of tbo pooplo on tho field wero occupied, and profitably so. Condensers are at work all over the field converting the salt wator from the mines into drinkable liquid. Mr. R. Masofiold, tho well-known footballer in Auckland, is having a steel yacht built for him by Messrs. Seager Bros., of that city. She will register five tons, and will, it is expected, bo one of the fastest boats of her size in the colony. It is intondod to fit her with a bulb keol. There was a fair attendance at the exhibition of tho Academy of Fine Arts last night. The works will re/nain on view until the end cf the week. The quarterly summoned meeting of Court Sir George Bowen, A.0.F., was held last uig-ht, at which Bros. Worth, son,, and Bryant, P.C.R.'s, and Bro. Rose, were appointed dolegattos from tho Court to tho Wellington Friendly Societies' Demonstration Committee ; and Bro. Worth was also appointed as a delegate to the next annual District Meotiug. A satisfactory report was received from tho District Auditors. Bros. Griffiths and Rose were appointod Auditors to tho Court for tho ensuing term. It was resolved to apply for 120 shares in the United Friendly Societies' Dispensary, now on the point of being registered. The receipts for the evening amounted to £75. Bro. Grantham, C.R., presided. An entortaininent in head and face roading by Moesrs. Crowes and Wheeler and a compotition in public hoad and face roading by aniatours,. took place in the Ballance Hall laßt evening. Various lantern portraits were read, and the characters of several of tho audienco were delineated. Tho competition brought out only two amateurs, but it is intendod to have a competition on a much larger scale soon, Tbo following will represent To Aro House in tho triangular shooting match with Thorndon House and Kirkcaldio & Stains' tomorrow afternoon:— Barrio, Brown, Burn, H. Jones, Lawrence, M'Guire, Patorson, Sinira, J. Smith, and F. Staff ; oraorgencies, Englebrotson and Rowland. A largoly-attended meeting was hold in the now Catholic Infant School, Guildfordterraoo, last evening, tho Very Rev. Father Dawson in tho chair. A liberal supply of refreshments was guaranteed by those present for the coming social gathering in the Drillshed, and final arrangements were mado in regard to the entertainment. For some time past the Amnßement Committee of tho Wellington Nava's has been makincr extensive arrangements for th > " social" next Friday in honour of ex-Lient.-Commander Duncan and Mrs. Duncan, and the Garrison Hall is already assuming a gay appearance through the efforts of an enthusiastic working bee under the direction of P.O. Babe. A party from Government House haß signified its "intention to be present, and old members of the corps in other parts of the colony are coming to Wellington specially for the event. It is anticipated the "social" will be one of the most successful Volunteering f unotions held in Wellington. A good many pooplo (says the Otago Daily Timeß) will be inclined to sympathise with the Hon. Mr. Shrimskiin tho remarks which he mado during the discussion on the Shop and Shop Assistants Bill in tho Legislative Council last week. Certainly Sir Patrick Buckley did not come off best in the little passage -at - arms. Hitherto, said Mr. Shrimski, he had considered himself a Liberal, but he was beginning to think he must be a Tory after all. " You are a Tory," dogmatically declared Sir Patrick, who, if we mistake not, was a member of the Ministry which gave Mr. Shrimskihis seat in the Council ; and the retort came : " Yes, lam if this Bill is passed." Mr. Shrimski meant that if the Ministerial policy, with its roprossive and autocratic characteristics, is to bo described as Liberal, then it is high time that genuine Liberals like himself changed their descriptive title. If Sir Patrick Buckloy is a Liberal, Mr. bhrirnski is ready to call himself a Tory— a new Tory of Liberal principles. Certainly when the sponsors of, say, the Newspaper Libel Limitation Bill arrogate to themselves the watchword of Liberalism, Liberals of a saner and sounder school may well begin to ask thomßelves whether they have any further use for a name " defamed by every charlatan, and «oile<3 -=vitl» all ignoble use." yet perhaps it ifi better to cling to the old title, with its nobler traditions of the past, in the hope that sooner or later the nature of true Liberalism maybe understood of the people.

Mr. Dallas, at one time chief engineer of the s.s. Rimutaka, is now chief engineer on a large steam launch belonging to a Russian prince. Thero was not so large an attendance as usual at the Citizens' Institute last night, owing to the badness of the weather and a number of counter-attractions Mr. Gifford gave a short further paper on " Carlylo and Ruskin," and the discussion was concluded. The Foreign Insurance Companies' Deposits Bill was finally considered this mornincr by tbe local representatives of insurance oflices. We understand that a number of tho companies havo decided to protest against tho passing of the Bill. Tbe foUowiDg tenders have been received by the Public Works Department for the Gisborne Courthouse contract: —Accepted — W. O. Skect, Gisborne, Declined— H C.

Auckland, JE2491; C. H. Frankham, Devonport, X29G5. The anniversary of tho enfranchisement of women in Now Zealand is to be celebrated by a women's meeting in Christchurch tomorrow Mr. T. C Webb's fourth organ recHa will take place in St. Mark's Church this evening. Mr. Gibson and Mrs. Moore will sing. Tho latter at Buort notice takes the place of Mrs. Greenwood, who is suffering from a cold. Mr Travers, of Wellington, acting on behalf of Mr. Fanzelow, has (says tho Marlborough Express) issued a writ against Mr. John Kerr, claiming .£SOO damages for alleged malioious prosecution. A private cable reports (cays the Hawera Star) that Pennell, a large dairy produco broker in London, has suspended paymont, with heavy liabilities. Pennell was consignee for Mr. Yorke's purchases. It is intended to hold a reunion of cxOtagans now resident in Wellington, and a preliminary meeting is called for to-morrow night. All tho Otajro members of Parliament have been invited to attend, and it is hoped to arrange for an annual gathering of former Southerners. A successful rehearsal of " Tbe Mikado" was held last night by the Operatic Society. To-night tho final dress rehearsal will be held at the Opera House. Kverything is going splendidly, and no effort has been spared to make to-morrow night's production a complete success. A course of free lectures on " Prophecy " will be commenced by Mr. C. H. Hinraan in the Primitive Methodist Schoolroom, Sydney-street, to-night. Sir Walter Buller and Mr. E. Tregoar will contribute papers at tho meeting of tho Philosophical Socioty to-morrow evening. A concert and social gathering in connection with St. John's Church, Upper Hutt, is to bo held in tho Oddfellows' Hall on Friday evening. The last few nights of tho skating season are announced. The Rink will be open to-night. To-morrow, at 2 o'clock, J. H. Betlrane aud Co., instructed by tho Official Assignee in Bankruptcy, will sell by auction, at their rooms, Peatherstou-strcet, in the estate of H. Naphtali, a quantity of very superior c.p. presentation cups, superior tea and coffee service, salvers, gilt clock and caudelabra to match; also, in the estate of George Percy, a magniiiceut wahmt Mignon piano; nfter which the same firm will sell, hv instructions from Mr. R. Mortou, who is leaving ¦Wellington, a choice library of upwards of 500 volumes, including history, biofrraphy, science, theology, and a variety of general literature, which should otti-act the special attention of school teachers and others. The first of this season's shipinoutbof Japanese goods is now open at T. Pringle's, Lauibtou-quay; together with a splendid assortment of antimony ware, all directly imported. An advertisement gives particulars. A. G. Tame and Co. will sell to-morrow, furniture, &c.
