London, August 27- Mr Gladstone’s brochure on the Irish Question published to—day, contains fifty three pages, and is similar in the exce'- lence of ita i trie to his pamnhlrt on the Bulgarian atrocities. At the outset Mr Gladstone compares it with the apology be wrote on his charge of attitude re garding the Irish Church. “But.” ho continues, “in the present case I have no such change to indicate, hut have only to point out the mode in which my language and conduct were governed, and the uniformity of principle I have simply followed, in the various steps by wh h the great question of autonomy for Ireland h»s been brought to a stage of ripeness for practical legislation.” In conclusion, Mr Gladstone says : — “lf I am not egregiously wrong in all that Laa been said, Ireland h»a now lying before her a broad and even way in which to work the consumption of her wishes. Before her eyes is opened that same path of constitutional peaceful action of steady, ft so, and fall discussion, which has led England an i Scotland to the achievement .of all their pacific triumphs.” Two years ago a man named Traynor started from Bath, in the Cored States, with the Intention (f going round tho world in a canoe.

The Crown called Hedley Vickers Drew, who deposed that he had been in consul tation with Dr Mclnfyre on Mrs Hall’s He described the symptoms of the patient from the 24th July to the 15th August, and deposed to the finding of antimony in the urine and vomit tested by Relnsch’s process. Hall complained to witness of Dr Mclntyre “fossicking about amongst the pots and pans.” He alto asked abcu" the chemical testing, and wanted to knew if they had found any thing in the stuff they had examined. Told him they had found neither albums n nor sugar. Ho asked if witness would allow him to come up aud see the testing, but witness con’d not remember what answer he gave him Hall said Mrs Hall Lsd borne her sufferings very well, and witness said he thought ehe had. Mr Jojnt declined to cross-examine this witnets. Edward George Kerr, proprietor of the South Canterbury Times, said that on August 5 he went to Hall’s office. S*t down and examined seme papers with him in the office. ® While sitting there Hall, who was standing, said, “Excuse me, I wish to speak to my house.” He then rang up the telephone and said, “Is that yon Mary 1 Is Miss Houston in ? Tell her 1 want her.” Afrer a piuse of a few minutes be eaid, c Ta that y< u, Me grims 1 By the way, there is a decanter of wine in the room. Put it away.

He then walked so oss the room to the end of the table at which witness was sitting, and said, by way of explanation of hi* conversation, “I have a servant at home V© drinks anything ehe can get hold of, J have doctored some wine ? na Witness said, laughingly, ,? r . j»lep, 1 suppose."

Suddenly he put his hands in -his pocket and said, et’dl through the telephone, “the keys are in my pocket.” Then, in answer evidently to other .questions, he said, “ Say nothing at all, And give her nothing.”

CHERTSEY FARMERS’ LEAGUE.

A meeting cf tho Chertsey Farme s league was held in the Chertsey Motel last evening. There was but a small attendance, and Mr W. Btrachan occupied the chair. Af er some routine business of tho League had been disposed of, and a motion proposed and ca tied to tho effect that >u future tho League endeavour to obtain tho ase of tho Public Library for its meetings, Messrs Eusor and Bruce, who a ( tended hs a deputation of dele gates from tho Farmers’ Co-operative AssooAti tit, of Christchurch, addressed the moctiog, and rendered every In formation connected with the work ng of the institution which they represented. Jo'V-ral of »lu> members of tho League oxprca-so.l tho ori lion that they had hoped that tho Directorate of the Co operative Association would have soon their way to have established a branch depot at Chertsey, but it was explained that- In the present state of the Association ss oh an extension of its business could not. for ration* reasons, bn entertained. Applications had boon received from many C'untry districts for the establishment of hrancho”, as a moans of chocking the ox I-intonate charges of c -unti y storekeepers, tut they had, in the meantime, until tho Association gained in to financial stability, to be dic'ined. In the future, however, the establishment of branches would have to be attended to as tho business of the Association attained farther development. Messrs Bruce and Ensor further ex plained, that in the obtaining of (supplies from the Asst elation they should combine and send their orders, say monthly or bi monthly. ail together, to as to save some of the very expensive railway freight. Sev<ral members of the League, then expressed regret that a branch not at once bo opened at Chertsey for the sale of the Associations stores, but it was siurseated that the difficulty might be oveiCTna by tho appointment of a local shareholder, es a sort of agent to receive and distribute goods which might be ordered from time to time from the Association. The League decided to give tho matter farther considerate n A hearty vote of thanks was then accorded to Messrs Ensor and i ruce for the very exhausiive information they had con mueicated regarding tho working and state financially of tho Farmers’ Cc < pon-tive Astocia'ion. Several farmers filled up implications f-r shores in the room. The mealing then c’. sed with the usual compliment to tho chair.

Dr Auguste Kursteiner’s ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endoraed by tho Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all * Leading Physuiana The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material aurronnd- Ing the inner chain of metallic aubatances la Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in itaelf, and yet containing iiianic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like an many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete in the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet !a the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children Tho Lancet, the leading medical journal of tho world, says “ The fsct that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets la announced by Dr Knrsteiner la a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the Uvea of millions cf children, and relieve tho anxiety of many mothers.” Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the roost Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians in their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the ja’nfal period of the teething cf infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the roliet from pa>n afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough Scarlet Fever, Crcup, and OhioJtea Pox, thus relieving childhood of iti martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid. Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents in New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can te obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost c f importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet is a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address—J CONROD & 00., P.O. Bo? 408, Auckland, N.Z,
