A NAEEOW ESCAPE What might have been a serious matter happened recently to a young couple visiting ■Wellington. They had come to the city with a view to purchasing the furniture for their new home, , and bad practically decided where to make thoir purchases, when quite by accident they walked into the extensive furniture warehouse of Messrs W. F. Shorbt, Ltd . of Willie street, where to their delight and astonishment they, found that furniture can be purchased from this well-known ■firm at from 20 per cent, to 25 per cent, less than anything they had previously seen, and not only were the prices quoted by Messrs SboVtt. Ltd., extremely reasonable. but they also pack and deliver, without extra charge, to railway station or steamer all goods purchased from them. Needless to say, Messrs Shortt, Ltd., secured the order to furnish this new home, and have already received orders from others who have been recommended by this young couple. Why, this well-known Ann can sell their goods at such reasonable prices is easily explained; The premises they occupy are their own, and they have no largo salaries to pay for managers, etc., with the result that they are in a position to sell for a much less profit than firms so situated. Those about to furnish will be studying their own interests by visiting this extensive establishment and judging for themselves the quality of the goods supplied . and the extremely reasonable prices charged. Catalogues are now being prepared, and will be ready for distribution before the end of the present month, and will bo posted to any address on application.—Advt.

When the Patcena arrived at .Wellington /last night fgom Piclon, the mess-room steward, who had been noting in am uncanny manner during the passage, was handed over to the police. He laid down on the deck, and after considerable straggling was prevailed upon to stand up. The man was arreeted on a charge of lunacy by Constable Tait.
