About two thousand men. employed by lh»'lnternational Paper Company «c ro strike in consequence of a threatened re duction in wages in certain depar*raents. ; Asfa result, all the mills owned by the ' trust are shut down. It is stated that there is an adequate stock cf paj.er -fc> band for immediate requirements.'but if i the strike continues very long the ihwsI papers are likely to have difficui-.v m find- " ing- supplies'. A curious l instance of the- importation of a New' Zealand bracken fern is given by the 1 rector of -St. Andrew-by-the-Ward-robe. Recently be.came acrces a *>mall fern growing in the joint of a Waking pipe outside Sion College.. London. He transplanted it to the greenhouse in his pretty little garden off Queen Victoria street, and there it has flourished to an extent enabling authorities to class the fetranger as.a vsitor from New. Zealand. The: theory is that the seed was blown on to the embankment from a barge passing up the ~ Rrrer Thamte.' The "Dominion Journal" for October is '-•tt, a cheap'threepennyworth of reading matters and pictures. The editor appears to have skimmed many scientific, industrial and domestic publications for material, and, among all the sort.* of people who make up the world there are probably few who would not find some paragraph or article that interest them in ths collection that has resulted. The journal has an attractive cover, and : s well printtd as to the reading matter, bat the paper is not quite smooth enough of surface for successful printing from .photo-blocks. Th~ second supplementary roll for tbo Timaru district » now in the hands of the- printer. It contain* 830 names. Tbt third and final supplementary roll will bo-dosed as soon as the write arc issued. It is, the intention of the Registrar of Ekctoid to *sue a batch of summonses shortly against all those persons who have not replied to notices sent them by him. All who are summoned to appear before the Court will be required to t-how why their names- should not be struck off the roll. It is no£ expected that many will put in an appearance as it js'known that ■ a good number have left the district, while others haTe gone to that bourne whence no traveller returns. When theso rased come on for hearing.-therefore, the Clerk of the Court will be hi the peculiar position 'of ' one calling to the dead.

On Tuesday next an- influential deputation of Jnvtrrcaigfll citizens* consisting ••f Rev. A; Mitchell, Weskryan minister,- and Messrs Baxter and Wesney. leading roer•'hantri of the town r w"U, deliver addresses in Timaru on the results of no-license in the southern city;. Unfortunately the theatre >i not .available for that night, ami the No-License League, under whose auspice? the meeting is being held, has twn compelled to choose a smaller hall. The meeting'will therefore be held in Trinity Hall. Barnard street. As the test'mony of these men is based upon practical experience, elector* should mako a |>oint of bcarinc; what they have to say! Qikv tions will be invited. Admission is free, but a collection will be taken in aid of the campaign fund?. A (•peciaig general meeting of lb:- New Zealand Sbcepbreeder*.'..AssociationJ*"!*'' Wand> w to be held on "Sovcmb-r lZtlt in response to a requisition asking that e.ucl» a, meeting should lx> held, for the' purpose of considering whether it is desirable to proceed further with the inspection of the stud flocks of the Sfonth Inland. There *» understood to be a wide difference of opinion amongst members on the subject an<f there if likely to be a very spirited discussion. Under the direction'of the Association-there has been an inspection of the Border Leicester llih-Vk in the South Island. » the rtsnlt of which a considerable amount of cnlline wa* necessary. It-is pretty generally acknowledged that *ome kind of inspection or supervision »» necessary, but whether or not the pnsent system is the right one remains to be thrashed out. The nsnal weeklv meeting of the Ljfe Boat Lodge. No. 101. 1.0.0. T. was held last evening, the C.T.. Bio. iluchmore. presiding. ' One candidate was initiated into the Order. The balance-sheet showed that after all expense* in connection with.the Naval Lodge .there was £1 to be handed over to ihe lodge fund?. Th« balance-sheet was adopted and a hearty vote of thanks passed to the committee for the trouble they had gone to in order to make the visiting brothers* visit enjoyable. The programme for the evening took the form of i» Mock Parliamentary Election the candidates being Government. Bro. Hawkey: Opposition, Bro. Toye. Their views having been plac-d before the electors questions wore forthcoming' after which the contestants went to the ballot resulting in a win 'ir the Opposition by one vote. N»-xt will take the form of a socbl evening.

Further development* have occurred in ■ imnectton with the recent arrests by Detective."" Jas. Kennedy andKadc of two men on a number of cbargo of burglary in the Islington district.

Some small birds in a plantation of firs at Otautau goti a scare one night luel week when a couple of the email-eared owLs. which had been Jiberatcd. further north appeared on the scene. That th.-y are multiplying and spreading is evidenced (says the "Otautau Standard) from the presence of the two seen in Otautau by a resident, who watched the pair for 15 or 20 minutes, during which rime they accounted for a couple of dozen gparrowe. The Salvation Army' Biorama Pictures and Glee Party are to be here icwinw night in the Army Hall.

Those who have not been to the top of the tower of St. Mary's Church (obtaining permission of course) should make a. point- of doing so, for from the summit a very fine panoramic view of -Timaru and the surrounding country is obtained, and at this time of year -when everything is looking its beet, the scene that\meets the eye is specially pleasing. What- makes it more attractive is the fact that it is not confined to land, but takes in a great expanse of «a as welL A ]>eculiarity noticcable in viewing the town from such a height is. that the -undulations of the site it occupies appear to be flattened out somewhat, and the whole town seems to be mach smaller that in docs to the pedestrian who traverses it. or to the eye when- glimpxs of its distances can be had, a« along North street for instance. The Hospital and Park in one direction, the Athletic Ground? in another, appear to be quite near. Even the long eastern mole of the harbour seems to l>e much contracted, when seen from that elevated point of view. The anniversary of the Primitive Methodist., Church. Timaru. will be celebrated by special* services to-morrow and a concert on Monday evening.

Many thousand* of people are employed daily in England and on the Continent to act dramas of real life before tho camera. According, to critics it hah In-come quite the recognised thing to have these dramas produced by means of the bioscope. One feature of the dnunns so produced N that it does away with the bad grammar, etc.. which both actors and actresses are so prone to uso in the. present day. Not' only that, but the scenery must be essentially realictic. and that in itself is sufficient to make modern drama more endurable. One of the most successful real life dramas yet shown is entitled "Twixt Love and Duty." This- depicts an anxious mother left alone with a sick child, and shows the trials she goes through to save the crew of a burning ship from perishing. This picture is only on? of the many to be produced during the forthcoming season of Valentine's Red Seal Pictures commencing on 19th Octob-.r.

The cable news which arrived on Saturdav morning shows the motoring world that* the Darfracq is the most reliable and one of the speediest motor cars in the universe. The Isle of Man race is organised bv ihe Royal Automobile Club of England* to test the car most suitable for ordinary touring puritoses, and the cars used are ordinary sized stock cars, and not specially built for -racing purposes. Certain dimensions were given for the size of the engine, and as these y«re 4 inches for the diameter of each cylinder, the car had to be an 18 brake horse power. The second and third cars were Darracqs of the above size, and exactly similar to two cars just landed, one for a Tima-n gentleman and the other for a Chrifitchnrch lady. The first mentioned of these two cars js now on view at our Timaru garage. The above result is most- convincing that when it comes to ordinary -stock cars', and not cans specially prepared for lacing purposes, the Darracq leads the world. We take this opportunity of letting the motorists of Timaru and surrounding districts know that as we ire about to. move into a, new and larger garage, we have -a few Kecondhand cars which we are prepared to sell at ridiculously low figures, in order to make room for large shipments of-new pattern cars, which we have arriving!..
