At Petone this morning, before Messrs. R. W. Short and W. Inglis, Justices, William Hamington was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for indecent behaviouT in Petone yesterday. The annual services in connection with, the Girls' Friendly Society, which wer© to have been held at St. Paul's ProCathedral on Thursday, have been postponed. v Railway arrangements in connection with the funeral of the late Premier are advertised. "Veterinary surgeons are not a bit surprised at the heavy mortality in calves in the Taranaki district, but mar- J vel that so many are alive," said Captain Young to a meeting of Inglewood farmers recently. According to the News he went on to say: — "Tho two most useful animals on God's earth, are the horse and cow, and 'no others are so terribly abused. Their only shelter is a barbed-wiro ' fence, and their only medicine the stockwhip. Miss Rachel B. Braithwaite, secretary of the Women's Anti-Opium Urgency Committee, London, writing to the secretary of the local Anti-Opium League, under date 30th April, says: — "We are very glad that an opportunity has been secured for bringing an anti-opium resolution before the House of Commons on 30th May. There are about 350 members, of Parliament known to be favourable to our cause, and a resolution passed in the House by a good majority will very much help tho Government in dealing with the matter." The winter show of the West Coast and Manawatu Agricultural and Pastoral Association is to be opened to-morrow in Palmerston North. The exhibition of machinery in motion promises to be as interesting as ever, and~ there will be several new features added. The usual conferences of dairy farmers will also be held during the carnival week. Following were the successful students at the examination recently held by the Wellington. Dental Board:— T. C.

Vivian-street, were held on Sunday, and passed off very successfully. Major Twyford, assisted by Staff-Captain Tooiner, conducted the meetings, which were largely attended. The Ginging of the company and the references of the friends and soldiers "to the early days gave added interest to the meetings. During the evening the band rendered the Dead March in "Saul" in memory of the late Premier, who was accounted more than a friend to the Salvation Army throughout the colony. In consequence .of Mr. Seddon's death the anniversary tea has been postponed to the 27th inst. Captain Young, veterinary surgeon, in the course of a lecture to farmers in the- Taranaki district recently gave some j peculiar remedies for application to cows. According to the Taranaki News i lie told one farmer that a lot of cows were treated for milk fever when they were only suffering from weakness. There were two kinds of milk fever, or rather two phases of it. If a cow was excited, and rushing about, whip off her horns, let her bleed, and administer^ a sedative. If she was quiet and seemingly made up her mind to dio quietly, fill her up as drunk as a lord with whisky, and pack her up warm, but, he added, "don't give her ! neat whisky.- A Scotchman's throat can stand that; a cow's can't. Mix it with equal parts of water." Holidays were discussed at the sitting of the Arbitration Court at Auckland. The president of the Sawmillers' Association (Mr. T. H. White) said that on tho last Prince of Wales' birthday 672 men engaged in the sawmilling trade were thrown out of work for that day ] without any remuneration, while the I carters had to be paid for the holiday. If the carters were not working most of the other men engaged in the timber j trade would be idle, while if the carters had worked they would have had to receive time and a-half or double time. There were too many holidays and the general working man could not afford to be idle so much. "I could not, at any rate, when I was a journeyman," added Mr. White. Sitting in his civil jurisdiction at the Magistrate's Court to-day, Dr. A. M'Arthur, S.M., gave judgment for plaintiffs in the following cases : — Canada Cycle and Motor Company, Ltd v. George i A. Middleton,' £2 6s, costs 10s ; Henry Fielder and Co. v. Henry Claridge, £16 8s 7d, costs £1 10s 6d ; the United Asbestos Australasian Agency, Ltd. v. Robert Howie, 14s 9d, costs ss ; Cookson S. Marshall v. James Troy, £27, costs £2 14s. In the judgment summons case John H. StoTr v. George Findlay, a debt of £2 0s 6d, no order was made. Percy Walsh, who was indebted to tho Web lington Drivers' Union to the extent of £1 16s, was ordered to pay forthwith, in default three days' imprisonment, warrant to be suspended so long as 2s a week is paid. A new featur© was introduced into the grocers' dispute before the Arbitration Couot in Auckland last week by a combined effort on the part of Employers' and Employees' Unions to bring the wholesale merchants under tihe provisions of the proposed award. The Auckland Star states that the grocers produced evidence showing that the merchants served other tihan retail shopkeepers, and a great deal ot expert testimony was adduced to prove whether a boardinghousekeeper was in the same category as a retail shopkeeper. One well-known wholesale merchant, to show his non-complicity in this species of industrial double dealing, .declared that he did not even supply his own household, but patronised a retail grocer for his supplies, and he did not get discount. "Not even a packet of lollies when you pay your bill !" knowingly asked Mr. Rosser. "No, not even a lollie," regretfully murmured the meTchant. Subsequently cross-examination elicited the fact that the retailer was a brothertin-law of the merchant. Mrs. Loie E. Prior will- hold a public meeting at the New Century Hall tomorrow evening, and will give psychometric readings. . Mr. W. D. Pittnr has resumed practice in Wellington, and may be consulted at London Dental Institute, corner of Willis and Manners streets.
