Two items that have proved great draws in the big centres, viz., “Ihe ColorSergeant’s Horse” and “The American Count” are both included. The former deals with the life of a soldier and his faithful horse, and the latter is said to be one nf the most amusing comedies ever produced, a veritable laugh raiser, from start to finish. Scenic pictures, always acceptable. are liberally interspersed, also industrial, travel, dramatic, and comic subjects. The programme it is claimed, will be one of the best y p t screened by the company. An entirely new programme will also he produced at the Frankton Town Hall tonight one of the star items of which will he Goldsmith’s great comedy “She Sloops to Conquer.” Last evening the second of the series of socials that arc being held in connection with St. Andrew’s Church, at Cambridge, took place in the Sunday school, when the following ladies and gentlemen contributed

An enquiry into the affairs of a bankrupt named William Pierrepont Black, in Auckland, yesterday, removes any doubt, if any exists, as to who was esponsihle for the printing and circulation of the famous “Black Pamphlet,” and shows also how unfair were the statements and innuendoes made in the House last session with regard to the part played by prominent members of the Opposition in its production and distribution. Black owes Ijis bankruptcy to the fact that he published in his paper, the New /calami Leader, a libellous article concerning Mr E. J. Carey, secretary of the Trades end Labour Council, Wellington. He was called upon to pay damages and the New Zealand Leader went to the wall in consequence. In reply to questions Black said the copy for the pamphlet had been handed to him by a spiritualist and a socialist in Wellington, with a request that he should print it on behalf of the cause. He printed it first as a serial in his paper, and afterwards in pamphlet form. About 20,006 copies were Bold, hut Black’s share of the plunder only amounted to between £0 and £lO per thousand, as he sold them in hulk, so that the protit went to the men who sold the scurrilous production. He did not receive a lump sum from anyone for the work. His wife had, he said, started another little paper, and he was working tor her as editor and canvasser at the princely salary of 5a per week. Ihe heat offer he could make was Is a week. The meeting was then adjourned sine die. Whojwould’nt he a journal ist; At the meeting of the Newcastle Road Board, held yesterday, .Mr Roy liter, who is also the riding representative in the Waipa Gounly Council, drew attention to a strange position that had arisen in connection with the recent acquisition from the hospital hoard of graved rights at Horuliu, in which the Newcaatle Board and the Waipa Council were equally interested. Ihe hospital hoard had granted,for the sum of £lO from each body, the right to take gravel for a period of twenty years from two acres of the hoard s reserve, at Horuliu, each body to have an acre, which was duly marked out by Mr \V. H, Mandeno, county road supervisor. The road hoard opened a pit, and commenced operations. In the meantime the Education authorities who had pegged out, for a school site, two acres adjoining discovered that the land grantt d to the hoard and council wa- more suitable fur their ■ purpose, and notified both these bodies of their intention to take the land under the Public Works Act. As both hoard and council were under Ihe impression that it was inertly a matter of eximage of jjections permission was granted, and no compensation asked fm . Now it transpires that the education aul hori ties had no title whatever to any of the land, and as the hospital hoard are averse to parting with any more of the reserve, especially as it is leased for a term of years, the road hoard and council lint) themselves out in the cold minus their gravel rights, also the £2O paid to the hospital hoard. The consequences are somewhat serious, both local bodies being in urgent need of gravel, and compensation is being talked of. It was decided to act with the council in the matter. Sickness cam es a loss ol both time and money. You lose the time and have the expense of medical attendance en,tailing a double toss. This can he avoided by using some reliable remedy at the first stage ol the sickness. The purchase of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy often proves a profitable investment, for, by its use at the first appearance, any unusual looseness ol the bowels, a severe attack of diarrhoea or dysentery may ha averted, that might otherwise compel a week’s cessation Imm labour. Every household should have a bottle at hand It never fails and is pleasant to take Get it to-day. It may save a life. For ale by all chemists and storekeepers.
