A shocking fatality occurred at Back Creek, Bendigo, Victoria, during Satur- 1 day night, April 6, the victim being Mrs Frances Stone, a widow, over 70 years old; ; Deceased, who*: was a cripple, and ; 1pd h to use crutches, lived by herself in --small brick tenement iii Retreat road. A neighbor, Mrs Craven, put her to bed on Saturday evening, -and/left a candle on_ a chair near the :.bed, so that Mrs Stone could reach it if during the night. On Sunday morning smoke was noticed issuing from the building, and on Mrs Graven and her sons going into the house they found the "bedroom full of smoke. The bedding ,liad become ignited, and apparently smouldered for some time, as it was only partially consumed. The unfortunate woman had evidently been suffocated by the smoke, as her body was discovered lying on tlie bed, with the left arm hanging over the edge. Later in the day Mr Moore, P.M., held a magisterial enquiry, when, a verdict of ''Accidental death" was recorded. Deceased, whose husband died some years ago, was at one time possessed of considerable property in the city, and held large mining interests, but lately met with reverses. As far as is known, she had no relatives here, but it is stated that .she; was. well conneeted in England. Mrs Jessie Lomas, Gladstone, Q., writes : "I strongly .advise every parent to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house, and I always make a point of telling my friends of the recovery of my son. For 11 years he had suffered from acute bronchitis, and though I had him try a lot of things, nothing seemed to give him permanent relief. A ftiedical man advised me to get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and I did so. A decided improvement was noticed before the first bottle was used, and I am pleased to state that after he had taken four bottles he was completely cured, and is nr»w enjoying the best of .health.

"lt." J.' Porter made some references to no-license in Oamaru which have attracted some attention and may occasion some comment in certain quarters.. He said tliat whatever they might think of the man who paid a license fee of £40 a year for the right) to sell alcoholic liquors, they had only contempt for. the. man who pursued a " degrading practice without the legal right to do so. No*license had undoubtedlv done good in Oamaru, but there was also a certain amount of sly grog selling in the town. He believed the local authorities genuinely desired to enforce the law, but they were confronted with difficultiess and if they found that they could not enforce the law then the party which he represented would move to bring pressure to Ibear upon the authorities elsewhere to see that the law was enforced.
