A footballmalch between the Timaru High School and Pioneer Football Clubs came off on Thursday afternoon, on the High School grounds. On account of the small muster of the Pioneers the game was not nearly so good as it might have beeo, each team playing with only eleven aside. During (lie first spell, Collins made some very good runa for the High School, escurina two (ries, neither of whicli resulted in goals. The Pioneers scored nothing in the first spell. The High School were also the only scorers in the second spell, Collins securing another try. The school thus wou by three tries to nothing

The Deputy Assignee in Bankruptcy, Mr W. 0. Beswick, lias been busy all day conducting an examination into the affairs of Waller and Co., bankrupts, and some Tery peculiar disclosures have been made. By mischance we are unable to give a report of the proceedings till to-morrow. After the examination of J. W. Waller it was resolved that the Assignee shall at once take possession of the premises and that an inventory bo made of the stock by Messrs Wagstaff and Hughes. The farther examination into the affairs of the company was ordered to be tranforred to the Superior Court of Bankruptcy at Christchurch. In a report sudmitted to the Wellington Hospital Trustees, the resident medical officer Dr If wart late of Timaru, says: —“I think the infectious consumption is now recognised by most authorities on ; the subject. It has been proved that consumption is duo to the growth andimultiplication in the body of what is called bacillus. By the aid of the microscope wo can discover the presence of tho bacillus in tbo expectoration of consumptive persons, and it has been proved by experimenting -upon animals that if this sputum is injected into the lungs of animals which are in a poor state of health, it will give rise to consumption in those'anima’s. In a hospital ward the infection may bo conveyed in the following way:—The consumptive patient spits upon the floor, and the sputum becomes dried. Next morning when it is being swept some of tbo dried sputum is diffused into the atmosphere in the form of powder, which powder still contains the living bacilli. This may be inhaled into tho lungs by tho patients, and these being as a rule in a low state of health, tho bacilli find a suitable soil to grow and multiply themselves upon. Thus consumption is produced.” A remarkable mirage was noticed at Piliama during last week on several occasions, in the early morning (says tbojS aioera Star'). One gentleman repeatedly saw visions of shadowy galloping horses in the-misty clouds near the horizon, and on looking across tho plain in another direction he saw a mob of Maori horses, whoso forms he supposed were thus reflected and distorted in the sky. Out toward the sea a forest-clad island was distinctly visible, and was thus seen and noticed by many members of the household. Upon another occasion mirage images of houses and castles could bo seen near the mountain, and perhaps the most remarkable of all tho phenomena was the appearance of a tall stone tower reaching to a great height in the clouds underneath Mount Egmont. The Maoris, who had also noticed these mirages, described to him how they had all seen and watched tho progress through the clouds of a ghost like i canoe, manned by the forms of many toiling giant Maoris, who rowed through ths mists with great vigour, and in a most uncanny wraith-like style.

The number of people whojstill keep rushing away from the Cape Colony and Natal to the fil Dorados on tho Rundt is simply enormous. The c caching services plying inland are being taxed to the utmost capacity, and the population of the gold fields continues to grow more cosmopolitan day by day. Tho rush seems to equal that which characterised the early days of the Australian gold fields, and certainly the attraction appears to be equally as great. Mr Justice Hawkins, one of the English chief justices, during a recent assize, played rap-jacket with the Kent magistrates because of their severity in tho matter of bail. The Judge says no man ought, unless in exceptional cases, to bo kept in prison even one hour until ho has been found guilty of an offence, and that in all cases bail should bo as light as possible and the poorer the man the easier tho terms should be. Even if the man absconds he is punished, and the very fact that there is a warrant out against him is in itself almost a guarantee for his good behavior. For a poor man, because he cannot find b»il, to be kept in prison a long lima for an offence the jury ultimately find he has not committed, is an outrage and a scandal to our laws. A rich man can of course find bail where a poor man cannot. —Magistrates should cut this note out and paste it in their hats. The noted quality of tho Coffee made in tbc Cafes of Turkey, France, and America is chiefly duo to the fact that only Fresh Roasted Coffee is used ; so that none of tho volatile oil and other essentials are lost. Ask your grocer for Anderson’s Coffee, and you will have a beverage alike refreshing and stimulating, as it is fresh roasted and ground at the factory, Timaru.— f Adyt,]
