WELLINGTON SPECIAL.
(Special to Times.) Wellington, last night.
The educative efforts of tho Public Health Department ou hygienic subjects are evidently appreciated. .lust upon twenty thousand copies of a pamphlet-, dealing with tuberculosis, were demanded in various parts of the colony, and about thirteen thousand copies of directions for treatment of enteric or typhoid fever have already been sent out. The Department will within the next week issuo a short paper with instructions for dealing with cases of searlatir. an infection that Luts been very prevalent lately all over tho colony. Those pamphlets are obtainable from locr.! uudies and health officers in every town in tho colony, and are written in proper form. So far tho Appeal Court Judges liavo given no indication of the date when they will deliver judgment on the Tahora block, hut as there were several cases yet to be argued, it will probably be at least- a week before any judgments are delivered. AA'ellington has produced an aspirant for the Labor representative’s seat on tho Arbitration Court bench. The term of Mr R. Slater, who has occupied the seat since the institution of the Court, expires shortly, and Mr A. H. Cooper, cx-I’resi-dent of tho Wellington Trades’ Council, will contest his right to re-election. The abattoir question remains unsettled, but L understand that another effort is to bo made to endeavor to persuade the Minister for Agriculture to take a reasonable view of the matter, and not try and foist on the Corporation a site that is objected to by butchers themselves, and savors too much of an attempt to bluff the Council into doing a favor towards a prominent Government official. A further instance of cargo broaching, a matter which tho Chamber of Commerce recently took up and represented to London Board of Trade, has come to light. A local merchant, who opened some goods which arrived from London this week, found that several cases had been tampered with. The work had been done so cleverly that it was difficult to discover how the thieves extracted tho articles. It is believed to have been done in the London docks.
