School Committee.

RAKAJA,

The monthly meeting of the South Bakaia School Committee was held on Monday evening. Present—Messrs Hardy (chairman), Oxley, Dixon and Liddy. Ihe Board forwarded cheque for £39 for salaries, and £13 7s lOd for inciden tals. The inastei reported the attendance as bad m many cases. The average atten dance for the past quarter was 154, and the number on roll was 206. The school requisites were fairly well up to ihe mark, excepting the geographi cal diagrams necessary for Standard if. The sub-Committee reported re letting the grubbing, etc., on the school grounds and building coal house. The copper, etc., were now being fixed. It was decided to give mid-winter holi days from Monday, July 11, to Monday, July 25. Accounts for L 4 were passed* Mr Oxley moved " That it is desirable that swimming accommodation should be provided for the school children, and that the Secretary write to the Domain Board asking for the use of and permission to alter the pond m the Domain, and asking that a deputation be received from the Committee to discuss matters relative to cost and other details." Seconded by Mr Dixon, and carried. Mr Oxley and the Rev. J. Holland were appointed a sub-Committee to act m the matter. m After transacting other routine bull' ness the meeting adjourned.

The Football C üb's paper chase, fixed for next Saturday, has been postponed m order to allow the mem'iers to have a fall practice m preparation for coming im portant matches. Intending exhibitors at the Schools Ex hibition are remind •! tha their exhibit* must be sent m if possible to-morrow after noon, for the convenience of country exhibitors their exhibits will be received till nine o'clock «n Saturday morning. Messrs friedlander Bros advertise the sale by auction on Saturday next of the building material, &c, remaining m Prospect Buildings from the recent fire. As the whole of the debris has to be cleared away preparitory to rebulding on the site, mi as { a considerable quantity of timber, bricks, ! &<.:, did not pass under the fire, some . useful material may be obtained a bargain 1 at the sale. ! Heating's Cough Lozenges cure Coughs Asthma, Bronchitis. Medical testimony states that no other medicine is so effectual m the cure of those dangerous maladies. One lozenge alone gives ease, one or two at j bedtime ensures rest. Far relieving difficulty lof breathing they are invaluable. They contain no opium nor any violent drug. Sold by all Chemist* m tins Is Jd and 3s 9d eac The Insurance "companies interested m the late fire have behaved very liberally to the sufferers. In the case of Mr J. W. Hardley, whose loss was considerable by damage to his stock sustained m the hurried removal of it to safe quarters, and by the water that fell upon it from the hose, the London and Lancashire Insurance Company promply recognised the claim, and a cheque for the amount of damage sustained was paid yesterday afternoon without question by Mr David Thomas, the local agent. The claims m most of the other caeies have also been recognised, and will doubtless be paid m dne course. Mr S. W. Alcorn, who was also a sufferer by damage sustained to his stock by hurried removal/ has had his claim recognised, and the indemnification he will receive is satisfactory to himself and the companies concerned. Mr Salek's claim is not yet settled, the necessary inspection being still m progress. Mr Bullock's in surance on Prospect Buildings was £400 m the Standard, and £500 m the South British—both partly reinsured. Settlement of Mr John Orr's claim for damage to pre misoß occupied by Mr M'Gregor will pro bably be effected m Christchurch to-day. Mr M'Gregor has re-opened m the adjoining shop and saloon.

(Received July 7, 11.30 a.m.) THE BROKEN HILL STRIKE. Sydney, July 7. The mine owners have requested the New South Wales Government to dispatch a force of military to Broken Hill.

A correspondent who ought to know, writes as follows to the Wellington "Post" : «—You need not alarm your readers by such a headline as you placed over the j cable item announcing the secession of the Scottish Home Rule Association from Mr Gladstone. That secession is of no importance. The Association consists of Dr Hunter, M.P., three Edinburgh solicitors, and a wholesale stationer—all "blather skites" and notoriety-seekers. Scotland needs no such Home Rule as Ireland has demanded, and has not demanded any such. She does need a reform of private bill procedure, and she will obtain it, but not through the Scottish Home Rule Association. Both pvties have promised this reform at an early date. The Parliamentary practi tioners at Westminster, who fatten on the present system, are not so much to blame for its continuance as are the very men who ought to seek its abolition—Scottish municipal representatives, who dearly enjoy a trip to London at the the expense of rate* payers or, bill-promoters. A local firm of merchants (says the " New Zealand Herald ") have to record a pleasing experience of the celerity of the vlectric telegraph. On a recent Monday evening they forwarded a cablegram to London at five o'clock, from the chief Telegraph Office, and received a reply shortly after ten o'clock on the following morning, or seven teen hours after the first telegram was despatched. This could hardly have been quicker for practical purposes, as the firm having sent their cable on the close of business on Monday, received the reply on resuming business the next morning, and although the distance travelled was some 30,000 miles, the communication was as effective as if it had only been with a town within the. colony. It may be mentioned that the reply was presented at London at half-past three p.m., or ap parently one h ur fifty minute 3 before the first telegram was lodged at Auckland; but allowance must be made for the difference in time, New Zealand mean time being about 11 hours 40 minutes ahead of Greenwich time.
