Mr. W. A. Veitch. M.P., has leplied at* follows to a letter from the Wanganui Agricultural Association, opposing tlw> demand/; of the waterside workers tt> only handle paper-lined euclc* of manure, lime, etc :— ''l have gone fully into the matter with members of tho waterside workers in several places, and they stato that »ince the agreement they Lave not reiused to handle bags of lime which are not paper lined ; further, that the paperlined bags are a gteal benefit to them, inasmuch as the unhealthy dust trouble is minimised considerably. It seems to me that the health of the men should be conserved as fay kb possible, and I therefore think the matter should be allowed to continue an at present." Argument in the Kingsland cases, in connection with the death of Elsie Holland, was concluded in the Court of Appeal to-day. The Court reserved ita judgment. Mr. J. W. Salmond (Solidtor.General) appeared for th* Crown, and Mr. R, A. Singer, of Auckland, foxthe accused, O'Shaughneisy, Hassell. and Campbell. . Sketching the policy for the futW, Mr. B. R. Gardener, Mayor of Levto, who is seeking re-election, said that he would, if returned, use his best endeavours to get a severance from Wellington to Palmerston in connection with the hospital. When (hoy had to pay one-eighth of their rates towards a hospital, he thought it was time something was done to get a severance. At the last meeting of the Proviiivial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, held at Hawera, the following motion was carried .-—"That the executive recommends to the branches that, as the employment of travelling machinery agents must necessarily increase the oo&t, and as they take up a great deal of the farmers' time, it would be in the interests of purchasers to send order* direct to the manufacturers instead of dealing with the travelling agents." "It gives us pleasure to know that thi> contemplated sewage scheme is beinir . pushed forward by the Mayor," cays the annual report of the Petone District High School Committee t6 be presented thii evening, "and the committee looks forward to ite completion, and hopes that, for the children's sake, the school will ht the first to be connected with the svntern. 1 ' The report goes on to say that the health of the scholars during the past year was good, and aa in previous years no expense had been spared in dis« mfectants. A Press Association telegram from, Otaki states: "Mr. Francis Ings,, aged about forty-flve or fifty years of age, dropped dead in the Jubilee Hotel, lOtaki, yesterday morning. Deceased, who was until recently a grocer of Adelaide-road, Wellington, was being attended to by Dr. Paterson. He was on his return from Ormondville, and decided to break his journey here. He became ill and wa« about to be removed to the hospital, when he expired. Death was due to pneumonia andnearb disease. An inquest will not be nece*- * sary. The gaolers of the Dominion met in conference on Saturday, at the instance of the .Minister for Justice (the Hon. J. A. Han&n) to discuss methods of prison administration and tho prospects and possibilities of reform— a matter in which the Minister takes a v«ry great interest. The Minister was present at th© meeting, ihe gaolers present being Messts. J. 6. Scanlon (Wellington), T« R. Poynton (Dunedin), A. E. W. Ironsides (Auckland), M. Hawkins (Invercargill), J. Cpyle (New Plymouth), A. Gideon (Napier), and H. M'Murrayj (Lyttelton).

There are, it is undierstood,. vacandes for a (limited, number of r&. cruits, who must be unmarried and) between eighteen and. twenty-five year* of age. The vacancies have been caus-i ed owing to so many transfers to th« Permanent Staff Field Artillery. Practice is now being started, at the barracks, and at the conclusion of this course field artillery corps will be formed at the out-stotions, and horses will eventually be Bent. Some preference is given to men who have knowledge of saddlery and farriery. A high standard of physique is necossaiyfor all sections of j3ie Permatnont Force. • Mr. L. Harris brought before the Otago High Schools Board on Thursday lost (reports the Dunedin Star) the question of getting the Education Department to extend the railway concession tickets to high' schools' pupils who live out of town, so as to enable them to take part in sporte, etc., on Saturdays. ' Mr. Harris said that the idea did not originate with him— he had been asked to bring 1 it before the board —but he might say that it seemed to be a matter affecting the sodal life of the schools, sinot, nearly oIJ their sports gatherings were held on Saturdays. Tho Hon. T. "Fergus said he did not think it would be of the slightest use to approach the Government about this request, and if he were the Minister he would oppose it, for it had been found necessary to limit such concessions for teaching owing to Its opening the door to abuse. The board minuted "Deferred." Th© Wellington. Harbour Board proceeded against two cabmen named Reginald John Weleby and Wm. Dobson, in the Magistrate's Court, before Mr. W. G. Riddell, S.M., to-day, for alleged breaches of tho harbour bylaws. It was alleged against Welsby, who was repre" sented by Mr. E. K. Kirkcaldie, that on the 28th of March last he refused to remove his- cab from the Queen* wharf when requested to do so by a wharf official ; also that he took his cab on to the wharf for the purpose of plying for hire without first paying toll at th« gates. According to defendant, the trouble arose out of the action of g. wharf official, who insisted on defendant, who wished to go to the Melbourne boat', taking liis cab on the wharf takintl two other calw which were waiting for pawsengers from the Maori. Defendant absolutely denied noi'miug to pay toll, and eventually this information waii withdrawn. With l'offard to tho other charge, however, hie Worship said tJhe bylaws were perfectly plain, and h^ would have to enter a conviction. Welsby was fined 10s, with cost* and solicitor's foe, £1 Bs. Mr. 0. S. Izmh plaintiffs' counsel, then stated that/ as the board did not wish to collect kv.-i» from the cabmen, ho would withdraw the information against Dobson. All that was desired was that cabmen and expressmen should conform to the regulations. Our expert knowledge and equipm*mf arc at the service of those contemplate ing moving.
