" The Hon. W. D. S. Mac Donald r.rrived from south by this morning's steamer, and proceeded to th» Coast. A military hospital report fcontains the following: Maori Contingent: — Died of sickness, Kahaki, W. (H. Kaliaki. Te Araroa, father). Lieut.-Colonel Cook and staff arrived from' Napier this morning to oonduct a Medical Board of returned undischarged soldiers at tlio Hospital. He proceeds South on Sunday night. In the Magjs-rato's Court this morning Mr J. S. Barton, S.M., gave judgment for plaintiffs m the following undefended civil actions : Ellen Fry (Ml* Mann) v. Frederick Walker, claim £74 12s 9d, costs £4 9s; Hewitt and Pdterson (Mr Willock) v. Charles C Maiison,, £3, costs £1 ; George D. Muirhead v. Jack Rokataere, £1 15s, costs 10s; Pettie and Co.

Foote (Mr Burnard) £3 14s lOd, m default four days' imprisonment, if amount not paid 'by March 27. Speaking to a deputation at Taumarunui last week, the Minister of Public Works (Sir William Fraser) said that the obstacle m the way of the prosecution of important public works at tlie present time was. the shortage of^men. His Department would put on 1000 additional men now if they were to be got, but as a matter of fact there was a definite shortage, and he did not know that the position would be relieved m that respect for some time to come. It was not the -business of the Department to bid against other employs at a time of labor scarcity. ■ * , ■ Several soldiers arrived this tnornivxr by. the Arahura. They were met by representatives of tho Returned Soldiers' Association and the Citizens' Defence Committee, while citizens placed cars at their disposal. The SaWa<vou Army Band was m attendance and enlivened the proceedings witK suitable music. Pte. A. F. Harvey, of To Araroa, was a member of the 28th Reinforcements. He was wounded m tho hand during the Somme. offensive. Rifleman J. Cox left with the 25ths and was wounded. at Passchendaele, ni tne elbow and stomach. Pte. A. Dowlas and Pte. J. Beardmore have each .<=eon two years' service m France, having left with the 22nds. The former was wounded on the heel and the after tn the leg. v • In connection with the arrival of the War Castle from Sydney direct, which is expected' to-morrow, Mr. F. Steven- j son, of the shipping, department of DaL l gety and Co. informed a Herald representative this morning- that there seemed^ to be som c uneasiness . among the public as to whether any precau7JW' st eps have been taken m view ol the vessel arriving here direct from an infected port. His. firm had been advised that the steamer was clean when she left that port, and on arrival is to be quarantined for 24 hours and unless she is clean the time will' have Xj* tt ©^tended. "The public," he "^T'll may resfc as sure 4 that no work will be done until they are satisfied, the fehip is clean m the health interests of the community m general." Tbe funeral of th© late Colonel McCredie took plaoe this afternoon when a large number of friends attended to pay their respects to the memoiV ' of the deceased. The interment took place m the. Taruheru cemetery, and the funeral left deceased's late residence 104 Clifford streets. after a short service m the house, headed by the Salvation Army Band and attended by representatives, -.'of the returned " soldiers and veterans.

He was a very fine euphonium- player, and had on mdre than one occasion won the New Zealand championship with that instrument, as well • as being a member of the champion - quartet. 1 The newspaper proprietors and master ' printers at. present meeting in' Welfinstf r ' ton have unanimously* decided to* welcome the in-coming' draft bf returned sol" 1 diers- arriving by the Zealandiet party will be thoroughly representative j of tlie newspapers and printers Qf the !

A diminutive lad endeavored:* to board (from the bridge near theftop) the'Kel- , burne (Wellington) cable car ris it'- was [ gathering momentum on its downward i trip,, and', missing his grasps bf^Eja. . rail at the back, of the car, would-*'cdf- , tainly have been- mangjed m th<_ra^ble ! ropes, or fallen through the open*; gaps m the bridge on to the*- Salamanca roacl below*., but for the prompt action of Mr. H. Hooper. He managed to catch the lad by the wrist,; and; though* it : ; was no easy job (he having to holdi on. to the car with one hand), succeeded m getting him aboard. The lad was bruised i and shaken, having been dragged on liis knee for some distance. Eye-witnesses i describe his escape from death as miraculous. • , During the hearing of a case -in'the f Wellington Magistrate's' Court," thbpecj tor Marsack said the stealing or run- | riing away with motor-cars Was' becom- ' ing very prevalent <m Wellington. Pchv ' sons took the cars and went for joy--1 rides, and m the past they had not been prosecuted, as mischief had not been '&l- --[ leged ; but it would be well if the Court '' issued a warning m regard to the sert--1 ousness of the offence. Mr. F. VI [ Frazer, S.M. , replied that when he was [ m Auckland he dealt, with/ a number of similar cases,, m each: of which mischief ' j wa* proved-. There was a heavy penalty provided where guilt— was established, \ and as far as he was concerned he wonlcl ' do hi 9 best to pr'eVerit' the * offence becoming rife m Wellington. Giving evidence before the Northern Fisheries Commission at Auckland the ' president - of Hhe Northern Fishermen's l Union said £10 or £12 a week for. a • boat worked by two men was the aver- . age return prior to the coming of the [ trawlers. This was mainly tbe return [ "from "line fishing. At t_hat time it Would • I cost g,bout £3 10s a week to run the . boat, leaving £2 10s or £3 a week for . each man. He was, of opinion that there _ was a large quantity of fish killed . by the trawl which did not come to, the . surface. He was of opinion tliat many > small fish took shelter m shells on the . bottom; and 1 many small fish .had., been found m mussel shells. It was* reason, able to suppose that they had taken , shelter there, and had been orush&d^by i the trawl. Xy Mrs. E. D. Hayes is m receipt of offi- ; cial advice of the death on August 1 ; 31st , Oast of her son, Gunner • IV vC. Hayeg> previously . reported missing. As a result of a CoUrt of Enquiry, it iMiyt&ix stated that an enem^gu».a'cro^a.^g9, was causing 1 trouble, ; %no_" Volunteers were asked, from our Ines to . go-put andi silence it. Five" of the men of the company volunteered, among them Gunner Hayes. Tho five men all met their death on the expedition. Gunner Hayes was educated at the GisborAe School, and later seryed his time with the firm of Masefields, m Auckland, as an .. engineer. He was 25 years of age, and was m A Company, 4th Platoon, 29th Reinforcements. Another son, <W. ' A., Hayes, of the Qyolists' Corps, returned; on Tuesday last from the war. It was ' through his inquiries from jSir Thgs. vMackenzie that the (Circumstances surrounding the death of big brother wei'e finally established. Sincere sympathy will be felt with Mrs Hayes, who has waited five months for further "Vford since her son was reported misrfn^,^, A Wellington correspondent writes?— The Minister of Public. Works has been excusing himself for. not. pushing., on. hydro-electric schemes and other development works authorised by Parliament' witli the plea that' btf.is*- unable? to obtain the necessary labor for these undertakings. He has plenty of money, he has told several impatient deputations from the districts specially affected by the delay, but he cannot obtain the men. Mr. J. A. Nash, the Mayor pf Palmerston North, ; however, is. not accepting this. explanation m the case of the Mangahao hydro-electric scheme. He has made a definite offer to find the men required to undertake the iuitial work m connection with this scheme, and has suggested that the New Zealand Tunnelling- Corps, which did- such splen . did) work durinp the war,- should, 'be - induced to remain m the service of the State for. undertakings of this description. Mr. Nash, who m addition to being Mayor of Palmerston North, is member for the thriving district m wnich the borough stands, is ready to make his, word good at once, and no doubt Sir William Fraser will be glad enough to have his assistance m obtaining the men ho requires, Lgbor has. been his; difficulty, since the very beginning., of ths war, and though he accentuated it "io some extent by fixing too low a minimum, wage, he has since repented of that mistake, and is now offering a rate that should attract suitable labor. The suggestion that the members of the Tunnelling Corps should be emgloypd, "non hydro-electric works follows upon the admission by the Chief Electrical Engineer that the scarcity of skilled tunnellers was the chief obstacle to the speedy prosecution of his proposals. One of the chaplains who addressed the t Presbyterian General Assembly at Christchurch was responsible, fdr its ' members — both ministers and elders — indulging m unrestrained laughter, m which the Moderator was unable to refrain from joining (says the P^ess). The s chaplain was telling how the soldiers m Palestine showed interest m ancient, sacred relics, and narrated that a guide; pointing to an eastern lamp tOlfl -a; party of men that the lamp, 'had been burning continuously for eight -hundred years. "ilt will damn well bum ho longer," an Australian soldier had said, at the same time extinguishing the sacred; flame. The use of the trooper's actual language took the Assembly so much by surprise that members simply "let themselves go." This paved the way for another story, the point of ; i which was another. . outspoken- rejnarii. .*■ lhe padre had been talking about Samson s. feat with the gates of Gaza, and alter the _, talk a soldier came along tp him, and, after referring to tlie gate story, he remarked : "Good God, padre, you don't expect ns to swallow that j" Lovers of dancing are reminded- of the social to be held m the Patutahi.

Mr Thomas Henry Higgs, of the. staff oif the A.M.P. Society, died suddenly «it his home m Masterton on Sunday^ •morning. He was_s6 years of, age, -.and lin his younger days was invj'banking institutions m London and Victoria). Mr. J. L. Bowen, -who brought the body of the late Colonel 'McCiVlie to town, states that heavy rain >' has r^been experienced south of Morere, -'and,'* m. feet, it was raining until *• the 1> party j ,* Breached Wharerata on their . way to ; Gisborne. He noticed all rivers and j creeks were running high.

Last Friday it was reported that an object resembling a German mine had been seen floating m the sea off Paefcakarilri. A party headed 1 by Major Andrews ' and Captain Cross made a thorough i search of the coast m the vicinity on Saturday and Sunday, with the aid qf a launch, but they did not find the mine or any trace of it. Pos-. sibly teh observers were mistaken, or the mine may have sunk on its own account. The trawlers that are working off Cape Farewell found and exploded another mine last week. There appears to be some ground for believing that the mines laid by the German raidter off "the New Zealand coast are nearly all accounted for now, but the authorities have not yet secured the definite information that it was hoped to obtain from Germany. Trawling 'operations' are being conducted still m areas off- Cape Farewell and North Cape. — Dominion.

Th c judge of elocution at the competitions at Wellington offered some sound adVice on pronunciation. Referring to recurring blemishes he had {noticed, Mr. J. F. Montague said that m reciting: a slip m pronunciation was •not all-important. It was interpretation that counted and correct emphasis and correct inflection. "Turday" was not "to-day." neither was "I hate she" "I hate ye." "Silunce" was more often spoken wfc_n "silence," and' * "cushin" was of tin heard for "cushion." "Ingratichucte" was made to pass for "ingxatitudeiji" and "a napple" for an apple. He had heard one child say "scriek" ' for shriek. "Tru-ust" for truest was a common error. "Rawse" was not -rose. Such pronunciation was a mere affectation. Some children said '"becus" for because, and "perlite" for polite, which was baroly polite! One fairly common, error m pronunciation was the misuse of the "a" vowel, as "resooms" for resumes, m which word the vowel was "v," not "oo."

A conflagration occurred at Matamata on Monday morning when four shops, a dental surgery and a private residence •were razed to th© ground (reports an Auckland Star correspondent). The fire was discovered by Mr E. G. Clarke, the lessee, of one of the shops, who sleeps on the premises.* It then appeared to have a good hold an a shop occupied by Miss Storey, dressmaker and draper. The next place to catch was the .Matamata Record office, which was unapproachable through dense smoke. The flames then spread to a house at the back, which was completely burned, and ta premises occupied as a mechanical workshop by Mr W. Gale, then to the dental surgery occupied by Mr Hooper. Tlio six-roomed house was occupied by Mr A. Yardley. The four shops and the house were owned by Mr H. R. Brindle. of Panmure, and the dental surgery by Mr W. A. Turkington. AH the buildings were covered, m the State office. Gale was not insured, and his loss is about £200. The whole of the contents of the Record office,* Miss Storey's, and Mr Gale's shops were destroyed. Only tho heroic efforts of a large' bucket brigade prevented tbe fire taking the whole of the side of Tower road. The value of the buildings and stock destroyed is estimated at £3000.

At the Presbyterian General Assembly, Chaplain Ronald Watson said it was very necessary to give careful consideration to the theological students of the v Church who had returned from the war, m order tliat they should fit themselves for the ministry as soon as possible. The restlessness of the military life, the wanderlust, together with the absence of books, made it difficult for a man at tbe front to get down to study again, and ta keep his nerves on the grindstone. The Church n,Q\y was represented m tlie Free Church College, Glasgow, by fine students of strong, Christian character. It was wise to seiid students to the Old Country, as there they got into touch with great social apd labor problems. It was wise also to keep m touch with the students. When he was attending a meet^ ing of Presbyterian chaplains m France, proposals • forwarded by the Theological Committee blew m on them like a refresbjimg breeze. The chaplain spoke highly of General Richardson's kindness m giving -three Presbyterian students m tho ranks opportunity to attend Free Church College, Glasgow. At the opening of the session the Assembly decided to establish a fund toi help soldier-stu-dents, and to commend it to the sympathy and liberality of the people.

Referring to the late Hon. A. L. D. Eraser, the Hawke's Bay Tribune states : He was a fine Maori scholar, and was a. recognised authority on native lore, his lectures on Maori history and tradition being listened to and read by students with profound!' interest. A very well read man, he possessed a strong and engaging personality, arid, this, combined!'' with a -flkent. command! of language, and a faculty for crystalisirig his facts land gripping the essence of his case, made him an influential advocate m the Native Land Courts of the Dominion, and his services as counsel m native cases were requisitioned m every part of New Zealand, where important causes were m- the balance. He was a natural politician, and he ever took his work m Parliament very seriously, but he saw the good" m the opposing, parties and, m an npnest endeavor ' tp support the best m eiich, he met coldhesi. ' from both sides and, owing tb' his breadth of view,'< becoming 'a victim to party jealousies.,' waa recognised by neither. However, 'it was • not : necessary for ' M r. Fraser to 1 be m Parliament to be' a power m. 'the land for Hawke's Bay and, district, 'and it is only 1 justice to' f: his memory to say that his Vpice and pen and influence were ever at the service of the province, -whilst failure seldom followed on any work he took m hand for the benefit ofrthe district. Early in' his last illness lie was called to tbe Upper House, a. distinction which he highly appreciated, but the tragedy of death barred the way to the consummation, of the honor, and he never* took his place in'the Assembly, a fact iwKich was a' distinct, misfortune for this fair province, which he loved: so well. Hia political antagonisms were always' free from rancour, and after his hard fights at Hastings he was ever ready to forget his political differences,, and meet his opponents m honest social amity. Socially, deceased was charged to the utmost with the zest of life, which, boy-lilce, he enjoyed to the full, oven to the last. A man over middle age, be had many staunch and admiring friends amongst the older generation, but he never forgot the younger " men, amongst whom he was held m warm affection, with whom lie relaxed m popular sports and innocpt amusements of every kind, and withfwhom he ever was, and always would be," a care-free, happy bpy.

Tile sight of a horso attached to a tank of tar, careering madly over a route that took m East street, bymonds street, and Karangahape road' Auckland, at an early hour on Monday morning, caused some alarm to those who witnessed it. Fearing damage from the tar- in the cumbersome vehicle and the galloping horse, they moved from the footpaths into safety. From bymonds street the horse turned into Karangahape road, and, without doing any extensive damage, was stopped m its wireer against some verandah posts which it. failed to negotiate m turning into a side street. Slight damage only was done to the harness, the liorse and vehicle emerging none the worse for the event.

An amusing incident occurred at the termination of a wedding ceremony m Masterton a few days ago. The newlvmarried couple had left the home of the brides parents m a motor-car, ostensibly for the railway station. At the time-table horn* for the departure of the tram a large number of wedding guests had assembled at the station, armed with confetti and other tributes. The bride and bridegroom, however, did not appear upon the scene, and the crowd was filled with disappointment. It subsequently transpired that the chief actors had transferred themselves to another car and motored ewer the Rimutakaj to Wellington. They consoled the anxious guests b^ sending a wire from a midway township, wishing them luck and advising them to "carry on." '

*i iv-K cvid e»ce aji Auckland before tlie Epidemic Commission with regard to quarantine facilities. Dr. Russell, port health ofheer, said that m the sense that quarantine was understood there, he was not altogether m favor of it, but. would prefer having isolation hospitals for the treatment. of patients. He pointed out that there was not an 'island m the gulf which contained water. In cases cf quarantine, it was essential that there should be as little communication as possible, and if there was not water, it would be necessary to bring it. An island that was self-supporting would be an ideal place for a quarantine station, but as matters stood, he was m favor of a place on the mainland. He could hot say anything with regard -to Motui- ; hi, because since the outbreak, a great many alterations had been made there.

A girl, 18 years of age, a. half-caste South Sea Islander, created some, excitement on the ferry wharf at Lyttelton by jumping, Mly dressed, into the harbor

I m an attempt to avoid being arrested. Th c girl was suspected of the theft of a sum of £34 at Belfast.': The matter .vas reported to the .lolice, and a. sharp lookout was kept.

Whilst m .the water she divested herself of some, <?f her clothing, and boots, and she gaye' "considerable trouble m getting her into a boat.

At the Presbyterian General Assembly at Christchurch, the. Revv W.-'J. Comrie, m a review af the career of the Rev. J. A. Asher, of Napier, who has been elected Moderator for. the ensuing year, said that for twenty years he had been the Bishop of the Presbyterian , Church m the Hawke's Bay district. He' had stepped into the shoes of that great and gocd main Dr. Sidey, who held Mr -: Asher m the highest of esteem. No man "was better fitted to properly fill the position of Moderator, of the Church

m _ New Zealand. " In reply, Mr Asher said he appreciated very highly the generosity af the Assembly in'- nominating him as Moderator. For the sake of , the congregations of the churches he • had been associated with he greatly rejoiced m the honor they had 'Conferred on him. Though a native of New Zealand, he had never associated himself with the cry of "New Zealand for the New Zealanders." Nevertheless, he thought iL was fitting at times that a New Zealauder should bB elevated to the position.
