The annual conversations of ' Trinity Presbyterian Church will be held in' the hall at 7.30 this evening. Among the recent applications for New Zealand patents is Mr S. Wright, of-Fair-view. ■ who-seeks, to patent, an acetylene gas generator. ' The following is Captain Edwin's forecast to 5 p.m. to-dav:—" Strong westerly winds, are probable generally with rain: little movement of the barometer north of New Plymouth ami Napier, but fall later on." _ The golden key which is to be sent to Lady Plunket- as a seuvenir of tlie opening of the Children's Ward at. Timaru Hospital, was shown to the members of the Board yesterday, and the result- of Mr W. Mcßride's skill was much ad' mired. ; * A match between the draught players of Hilton and Pleasant Valley on the oiifi side and CJeraldine on tli«? other, has l**n airanged to take place on Tuesday next. The Geraldine team will he picked front the following playeiw: Messrs Brooks, Ci earner, Rawlinsoh, Howens.. BorrelL Stock, Mac Donald. Bruce, -and Willoughby. Six players are required for each team. A vrator from South who was in 1 imaru yesterday, remarked in the courseof conversation with a " Herald " importer, that he thought it a great pity the municipal authorities had not seen their way to beautify the streets by the planting of ■ trees, on either side of some of the most prominent of them. He considered that though the town was not'what he would call well laid off. it could be made much more attractive than it is jit present. ■ At his lecture in the Wesley Churcu last night the Rev. Mr Biomilow. a. Neve Guinea missionary mentioned aevefal points of alleged difference between the Papuans and the people of Xew .Zealand. For instance, he said. (\yitli a .twmfcle in his eye) the Papuans won't. \go to chnreh well unless they are visited; they'dbnl like long sermons or long prayers; , they have a. great love for money, and the> women folk put. tin a. good deal "of "side". He did not. suppose-''he,people/of " New Zealand had any of these tinits. (Laughter.) , •„ .\

In view of "the. fact- that'it-is not generally known the Bunk interest' is le-<ti at Home than ib is here, a "Herald" reporter made souie enquiries yesterday, and was informed that, the reason is ttt be found in the fact. tha't. money is more plentiful at. Home than itjis in Nevr Zealand: and it. is not possible to get-any more of tlu> surplus wealth' from Home transferred to the Dominion because Home people would not allow-their .money to-be invested here to any great- extent. Thii tendency was to send money to England from New; Zealand, lttther than vice versa. as capitalists here had been frightened by the labour laws of this country, and the ; socialists tendencies" of the present. Government. And not. only was capital, being driven out. of the country, but the owners of it were going too, and'in their stead, the Government was importing paupers. It was explained that the per cent, quoted in the; cables on - last; Monday morning, as being the Bank of England rate of interest-, practically" represented th" price of gold, the price, varying according to the reserves held by the Hank ii? England, wliich-was not a trailing Bank in 'the ordinary sense, but Government- .institution,.; whieh-regiilftteiV according to the supply of, and 'the•'de-. mand far gold. Thi& rote luUl little orno significance to the ordinary trader, hi'-.' iiig a rate'fixed by thc-Bank of England m its transactions,."\rith other countries. The reporter was ijurther informed that, in the opinion of i lie people of England,' the-indebtedness of New • Zealand \ra»i«lready too. heavy, and they considered Ahey had lent lis quite enough money. There was. therefore, no. possibility of getting cheap money out liere from England where- the opinion was, held that wet. we re spending too much on ornamental buildings and 'other luxuries, and tli.it we werfi running before we had learned to walk. ,H<ome - enpitalJi'tsr;' were -atriad' to send their money out hete, and they were'"nob alone in t iii-v Thousands sof jiGtind.H vr*ra sent from Xew Zealand t-o be invested at Home, and there were people, resident in 'l'imimi, who had their surplus cash invited in England. where they tonsideied it safer than if it wer* out at int: rest in Xew Zealand.

" Blessed be drudgerr" is the title of a book written by Thomas a Kempix. Tliero is drudgery enough to satisfy tlit) most exacting on a large dairy farm where the cows are hand-milked.
