A meeting of the Auckland branch of the Liberal and Labour Federation of New Zealand was held on Wednesday evening, Mr. P. J. Nerheny, president, in the chair. The chairman said that as a result of communications sent by the officers of the branch to the Premier, Mr. Seddon had consented to be entertained by the Federation at a smoke concert, to celebrate the victory of the Labour party at the recent general elections. The Premier had suggested Tuesday evening next as suitable, and it was unanimously decided that the concert should be held in the Hibernian Hall on the night mentioned. Reference was made to _ the fact that the Premier had expressed himself in favour of going outside the colony for the purpose of getting a new Commissioner of Police to replace Commissioner Tunbridge (resigned), and the general opinion being that a man capable of holding the position could be found in the colony, it was decided to mako representations to Mr. Seddon in the matter by means of a deputation. The decision of the Auckland Education Board, to send to England for manual instructors and lady teachers in cookery for the Technical School, was discussed, and it was decided to urge on the Board the wisdom of appointing colonial teachers to carry out these duties. Mr. Leydon drew attention to a notice of motion by a member of the Auckland City Council, aiming at the abolition of the ward system. On his motion it was decided to send a letter to the Council requesting that body to give the matter serious consideration, as the altering of the ward system would, in the opinion of the Federation, bo inimical to the best interests of the ratepayers and the citizens.

If we think of soap as a means of cleanli cess only, even then Pbars' Soap is a natter of course. It is the only soap that is all soap and nothing but soap—no free fat nor free alkali in it. But what does cleanliness lead to ? It leads to a wholesome body and mind; to clean thoughts; to the habit of health to manly and womanly beauty. Pure Pears' Soap. NO WAITING.
