Mr James Mayor of Lavrrence. Las in Land a scheme lor the celebration next y-iar of the jubilee of the discovery of g.»!4 at. Gabriel's Gully, his idea being that for a period of a week there .should be a reproduction on the historic spot of incidents that wove characteristic of a mining camp in the diiripmsrs days. He was asked some time something of the kind, to brinu together the old diggers, who still survive. Mr Rcty-rison. then a lad of 13. w:ii through his lather, associated with Ga'-riel Read the discoverer of the faniguiiy. In addressing his constituent* on Thuisday tic.- Hon. G. Fewlds r>.ferrcd to the Kr.yvett ease. He .stated that Colonel Robin wad now desirous to have an inquiry into the charges made against him. but it was n-t ea.-y to arrange :■ -r one. as military cutcm demanded that- a Court of Enqury eouklbe composed of only oflieers of equal or superior rank to the officer whose conduct- was the subject- of the enquiry. They had no officers in X-.-w Zealand of equal or superior rank to the Chief of .Staff. All efforts to overcome this d: faculty had been unstn-ees#it:l. and the proposed appointment- of an Imperial oim-er »f higher rank as Commandant ,\f the Xou" Zealand forces would probably overcome the dilrieulty. When the new coiimv.uMant- arrived, he weu'.d anpre.Ye of a beard to enouire into the charges ag-.dnsi Colonel lvibin. In duo time Captain Knyv.it. and his friends would thus have an oppwtun-iv ».f x 1;.fullest- enquiry that they coald desire.

"When you have an attack of Influenza take immediate stens to reduce tlie fever as quickly as p. ssible and for this there is no' better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will reduce the lever, lessen the inflammation surrounding the lungs and bronchial tubes. "With Chamberlain's Cough Remedy there is no danger of developing tliat nasty cough that so often follows influenza. Croup is most prevalent during lie dry, cold weather of the early winter months. Parents of young "children should be prepared for it. All that is needed is a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, Many mothers nro never without it in their homes, ond it Jio-s never disappointed them.

The weather yesterday was somewhat peculiar. In the west the" ranges were sunlit, a nor'-wester keeping them free from cloud. In the east the sea horizon was dark with heavy clouds from which rain seemed to be falling from time to time. The lowlands were between the two. and alternately had a warm air from the hills and a cokl one from the sea. To the townsfolk the sky signs threatened, to the country people promised, rain. The former hoped that when it came. whether soon or late, it would come with a rush, to wash away the thick coat of dust that covers the streets, as a light rain would convert it into a deep mud.

The weeklr meeting of the Lifeboat Lodge, 1.0. G.T., was held last evening. there being a good attendance ot members. Alter routine matters were put in train for a successml choir tor the Lodge.

At the last meeting of the "Wellington Land Board, the chairman reminded members that- after the hush tires two vears an f >. tile Government came to the assistance of settlers by adraneinrr crass seed free of interest- so that the hind affected might be re-sown as speedily as possible. Altogether, the Government- had helped 3"_b settler®, to the extent of £13,570. The first payments had no v.- come <lue. and outof' 323 settlers who should have paid £4526. only 24. representing £393. had not met their accounts. The hoard did not look at the amounts outstanding as bad. and the position must be regarded as satisfactory. A'nhoucdi the fires came very hard on ihe settlers at the time they were the best thing that- cotdd have happened. lor as a result much land had been broiudit in which formerly was unnvofuable. He knew of sorne instances, where as a result of the fires the carrying capacity of farms had been doubled. It- was resolved that steps should be taken to enforce the payment- of the outstanding amounts.

The. annual convention of the South Canterbury Christian Endeavour Union was held iu tile Cuujjregational Church at- Tiniaru yesterday. Delegates representing ail parts oi" teonth Canterbury were present, and following a lon<j established custom, they were entertained at dinner and tea by members of the local Edeavour Society. At half past 2 yesterday afternoon the delegates met* for the "purpose of transacting business, the Rev. J. Olphert presiding. The annual report and balance sheet were presented and discussed both being of a, very satisfactory character. The report showed that during the year, there I'.ad been a record increase in the membership of tlie different societies in the Enios, and that one additional society hgd ioined. The report and balance sheet were adopted, and the election of officers for the ensuing year was then proceeded with. A. E. Hunt was elected president, the Rev. Coatsworth (Temuka) and Rev. Harris ("Waimate) vice-presidents, and Mr J. Chiles, lion, secretary and treasurer. After the formal business, a very interesting paper was read by Miss_ .T. Strachan on "Ambit-ion," and after appreciative references to it, the writer was accorded a hearty rote of thanks. East evening another meeting was held in the church, this being larsely of a devotional character. The Rev. Coatsworth who was unavoidably absent, forwarded a paper he had written. and this was read by the "Rev. -T. Olohert. A very appropriate address was delivered by Mr J. A. Valentine, and after devotionaH the meeting closed. Before dispersing, however, supper was handed round by the ladies.

DOCTORS DIFFER. Theologians also. We all speculate as to whether cull lives live for ever. What is one man's meat is another man's poison. What is pain to me is joy t-o you, and contrariwise. The relativity of pleasure is almost complete. Your bootblack does not wish to edit a paper, and you don't wish to live in Buckingham Palace. The baffled millionaire who finds the Kohinoor is not for sale is probably 110 more disconsolate and no less disconsolate t'nau the hpggar boy v."ho only has a ha'penny, and knows that his favourite tart is priced at twice that sum. Finally, - Heaven gives us our relations — Thank God we can choose our friends and our Ointment. To recapitulate. Doctors, Theologians. et hoc genus omne may differ, but all who have experience agree that Red Cress Ointment stands alone as the greatest thir.g in cures, because wherever there is a skin affliction, "Red Cross Ointment will, after the first application, absolutely begin its miraculous healing work.
