An important witness m this case is said to have died recently m Capetown, after confessing to having committed perjury on the trial. The Home Secretary, Mr Asquith, has declined to advise the Queen on the subject. Serious labor disturbances, arising from the employment of non-union men to re place the strikers at Ganb Ironworks. near Northwich, Cheshire, occurred on Sep tember 2. The company brought 150 non-union men from Liverpool and attempted to get them to the works. The new comers were violently attacked by J;he strikers, and the new arrivals tried to fjgJuUheir way through the angry crowd, but 3fter a severe confliec were badly worsted. The company were obliged to order the men to return to the cars, which were despatched to Liverpool. The strikers stoned a launch containing several officials. Two hundred policemen tried to disperse the mob. They placed under arrest several of the more violent of the rioters, but were unable to obtain the ma3tery of the situation, and the assistance of the militia had to be invoked, A. body of Northwieh troops was placed m charge of the works and to protect the non-uiiion employees. Archbishop Vaughan. preached at tnts East End of London, on August 22, and blessed three hundred pilgrims about to start on a visit to the shrine of our Lady oi Lourdes.

The American physician, Dr Keely, wlti? professes to cure the appetite for alcoholic drinks by means of bichloride of sold ha".s sued the London "Lancet" for libel'in criticising his methods. Medical men days .a despatch, watched the trial with excited Interest. _ The ceremony of conferring the Pallium upon the Most Rw Fergufe McDonald, Oatholic Archbishop pf St Andrews, Edinburgh, took place m the Koman Catholic cathedral iri that eifcy on August 6, lb was the first ceremony of t!j.e kind m Scotland since Cardinal Beaton. A seemingly destitute pauper, named James Stewart, died suddenly m Belfast workhouse.

Tfee assassin then came into view from behind a tombstone, and fared at the other woman, who fell dead with a bullet through her heart.. The murderer immediately afterwards $hot himself through the abdomen and wpat, ana died without making any statemeot a# +.o the motive for the crime. The woman who was first shoe hovered between l^ie and death for some time, unable to make! any explanation of the trageay, and finally died.

IMPERIAL POLITICS.

The London "Chronicle" gives the rnin lines of the Home Rule Bill agreed upoa by Mr Gladstone, Mr McCarthy and SrDEon. The present land legislation Si not be disturbed for five years, and fes^-^fviS Ser Cd there abstt be only one CuSm Department, mf the Irish Parliament sheUuofc have the pojyer to levy Teparat* duties The only veto , shall be the T,oyal veto, to be exercised! on thfudvice li the Engtf^ M^y Thirty Irish members shall be retanecut Westminister. The "Chronicle' bfiA Uevesthat Mr Gladstone has; abandoned with great reluctance his idea of Be-J Jeiver-General m deference to die »«heß j v - thai Mr Gladstone remains at, SRarfet Pricing out his Home Rate Tffll Lord Kosebery remains mor near Sisr Jrsasf «s givenr being at his post, /»Jany went away for two months. In October the Premier wijl deliver fche Oxford lecture on "University Institu-. tioua," afterwards, according to arrange-. m ent Sn ow being formed, he will go to Cannes as the guast of Stuart Bendell, and will net return until January is tar advance:!- This course will be rendered feasible by a mnw of Cabinet meeting m October, at which the work ot tlie session will bo cat out. There is good reason to bqlicv.e tn.it Lord Raßdol^h Churchill will return to public jif9 ?©Hiethin^ of that vigour

I vith which he assailed Mr Gladstone's i policy twelve years ago. Ireland is obviously his subject, and so he will fight ;i good fight, showing up the shortcomings of the Gladstone reyime, with a strong f Mowing behind him A systematic Vigilance Committee has already been organised for the detection of Mr Morley's errors m solving the Irish question. Agents have been appointed throughout the length and breadth of that distressful country, whose duty it will be to keep the Opposition carefully and candicPy posted as to what is going on. By Christmas time Lord Randolph will have ample material for his brief. j

MR JOHN MORLEY.

Mr Morley's re-election for Newcastle was an immense relief for the Liberals, who had been watching for the result with breathless anxiety. The contest became one of national importance, when some adherents of the Labour party joined the Unionists. It was only the e-ight hours section of the Labour party, but the out come of the contest is a definite rupture between the Labour party with the dome Rulers, as Mr Morley triumphed. Mr Morley'R short viaifc to Dublin con firmed the national confidence m him as I soon as it became known tha 1) he had selected ashisprivateadviser and, probably Onder-Seoretary for Ireland, George Fotterell, a man whose veiled influence m Irish affairs has long been recognised by both English and Irish leaders. The Irish leaders have long been conscious that the key to the whole position is the Under-Secretaryship, and they will be satisfied if George Fotterell is appointed. There was a prayer meeting held every night at the Central Hall, Newcastle, ou behalf of Mr Morley's re-election. The invitation to attend included the follow ing ;—" "We mean business, for national righteousness cannot afford to be trifled with. Ireland awaits justice, China and India are crying out- against the opium traffic, and Great Britain groans under the ourse of strong drink." Hymn books were provided for those who attended the services, and the eacred songs were of a character to turn the thoughts of the singers towards Mr John Morley and the necessity of redeeming the land from its wickedness. The sermons were brief, and confined to advocating the policy of the Liberal part}. The prayers never failed to remind Heaven of the virtues of Mr John Morley m particular and the Liberal party m general. The Tories made a . good deal of fun of the prayer business, as it is well known that John Morley is a confirmed Agnostic.

eg, which came on after a severe attaok oi low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard m the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hcursfor nine or ten days it was out of all danger. I would persuf.de al who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial >-nd I am convinced that they mil find i the"most wonderful of medicines.—You.s etc. i E J. Cubnow, Wattle street. Sand" hurst. —(Advt ;>



The "Family Doctor " of July 16 says:— We have seen hosts of letters from all sorts and conditions of people, m which the writers acknowledge the benefit they have received from the wonderful mixture, which as a curative agent cannot be too highly estimated, since it cleanses and clears the blood from all impurities and restores it to its normal condition. If the blood is diseased, the body is diseased, and the patient languishes. Clarke's Blood Mixture 1 is a medicine of the greatest possible value, and it has attained a popularity almost unprecedented. It is certainly the finest blood purifier that science and skill have brought to light up to the present time, and we can with the utmost confidence re commend it to our subscribers and the public generally. —(Advt)

The Rector and the Doctor,—Lord Bacon tells a rector m danger of losing his cure, saying, "Well, if I do, I shall, kill seventy men." When asked why, he' said that he would begin to practice physic. This is from the preface to " Health : The New Method," as edited by W. Corrie Johnson 160, Tuam street, Christchurch. Dr Forest, a well-known physician, teaches how much can be done at home without drugs. His books contains other important principles besides the Health Secret, sold m small pamphlets at four dollars to over 200,000 people, with a pledge of secrecy. The Rev T. Norris writes: —"'The New Method' came to hand, and compared with it, the Hall Treatment is nowhere. I am persuaded that a knowledge of what this book con tains would save many from untold misery and burdensome expense." For less than two consultation fees the book will give odvice for lifetime.
