FEILDING'S SELF-DENIAL CONTRIBUTION.

THOSE MASTERTON PICTURES,

"A DAMNABLE LIE."

Details show that the Salvation Army's self-denial tand for the Dominion totals £14,425 oompared with £18,264 last year. Feilding established a record and contributed £l6O, being £3 more than last year. The result is very gratifying.

AND A £25 CHALLENGE.

Masterton has latflv been brought into great prominence. 'and it is now being known as a producer of "dead marines," or empty bottles and empty houses. The allegations caused the Rev. R. B. S. Hammond, the temperance lecturer, to speak with some heat at his meetiug on Friday, night. He referred to a pictorial supplement issued with the Wellington Pcsb depicting a large oollection of "dead marinas" and a number of empty shops and dwellings—all presented as"the rfsulfc oi No-license!" Mr Hammond said he passed through Masterton that morning, and investigated the matter, and as a result discovered that the advertisement was so falsa and misleading that for the time being he would forget that he was a parson, Biid he would say that it was a "damnable lie."

A PLUOKY AOT.

NASTY SMASH-UP AVERTED.

A sensational runaway ocourred on Saturday morning, and had it not been for the brave conduct and presence of mind of Mr W. Giesen, it might have been attended with S2rious result's. A horse attaohed to Bramwell Bros' delivery oart baited when m Kimbolton road, is it careered past the Post Office and gave every indication of rushing into the large lamppost in the Square, Mr Gieseij rushed into the toad and as the cait passed him he skilfully got hold and jumped in at the back of the vehicle. In a moment h 8 seoured tho reins aod pulled up the frightaned animal within a few yards of the lamp for which it was directly heading. There is no doubt Mr Giesßn took a big risk and accomplished a deed that he might Well be proud of.

The rev. gentleman did not mince matters, and the denouncement of the liquor party's alleged tactics caused Mr H. McManaway, proprietor of H»stie's Hot a l, who was in ihe|iudience, to attack the speaker. He said that he had si lit the batter for publioaticn, and he would foifeit £25 to the Palirierstou Hospital if any word he had sent wa* proved to be untrue. He had not seen the paper.

Mr Hammond replied tliat if the paper had published anything that Mr McManawav had not sent Mr McManaway had the option of prcscoutlng for libfl. It was eventually decided that the Mayor and the Rev. G. Budfi should investigate as to the accuracy of the statements made.

(JAPT. BARLTROP,

When the retirement of Oavt.. Barltrop'was first annonooed through the medium of the Manawata Daily Times, many local residents could hardly believe their eyes. It was true all the same, but aooording to (M. Ohajtor the gazetting of tlie retirement was an error and a can* oellation has baen ordered. How such an error came ti 1m madejis for the Department to ascertain, paitlculaily us Uapt. Barltrop was cansed a good deal of amoyanoe by such a district ordei b-iug issued. It will be pleasant news to Capt. Barltrop to know that his oompolsorj retirement is not now to take effect,
