THE FLOWER SHOW

The Flower Show was well attended on Saturday night. In addition to the attractions of the Shew itself, a prom enade concert had baen arranged m which the Orchestral Society took part, and contributed several items. Songs wore sung by MisEes Tompkine and Lambie, the first named an excellent contralto, who Have Gounod's * Serenade* *uh much grace and sympathetic feeling, jind whose lower notes were heard m every corner of ss difficult a place to sing m as one can well imagine, and the latter a sweet soprano who °ang the Scotch song " Morag's Faery Glen " with muoh acceptance. Special notice of Messrs Kersal, Oraighead, Brooking, Burgess and Broad Is hardly necessary. Suffice it is toaaythab they did the best they could under circumstances that were almost similar to singing m tho open air. It should bo mentioned that after the Overture the Hon Major Steward, by request, returned the thank's of the Horticultural Society to all who had helped to make the Show a success— the public by their attendance, the exhibitors by their contributions to the beautiful display of flowers, etc , and the Bub-com mittees who had carried out all the arrangements so satisfactorily. He pointed out that m the best of all Books the higheßt ideal of human happinesß was a beautiful garden, tenanted by good people. The present exhibition was ample proof that they could have the beautiful gardens m this distriot, and it remained only for them to be the good people m it. He also expressed the indebtedness of the Society, for the use of the Arcade, to Mr David Thomas for whom at his invitation tbree hearty cheers were given, followed by three more for the President Mr E. W. Hanmer, whom he congratulated on the success of the Show.

LAURISTON.

From Our Own Correspondent

The us«al monthly meeting of the Lauriston School Committee was held on Friday evening, when there were present Messrs Ross (ohairman), Gorman, John ston, and Murdoch. The minutes of the last meeting were confirmed as read, and accounts to the amount of £3 12s 6d were passed for payment. The master's report was read and adopted, and was considered satisfactory. Eighteen admissions had been made since the re-opening of the school, and the roll now - ; stands at 61. At the master's suggestion, it was resolved that application be made to the Board of Education for three extra desks and orms, and for an additional window, as the means of ventilation was very incom plete. It was further resolved that owing to Friday's train being a late one, no part could be taken by the school 5n fche proposed county excursion to Lyttelton on the 28th in9t. Attention was drawn In the report to the school's marked successes during the past two years. At two consecutive examinations 100 per cent of passes had been attained, and the pupil teacher, Miss Goiman, had passed her respective examinations with distinction.

Sir Robert Stout at Wellington.

Sir Robert Stout; addressed a large meeting of eleotors at the Opera House on Friday night. He began with a refer ence to the recent war scares and said that the colony had not devoted enough attention to the volunteers. Ho urged that the colony should make differential rates upon goods from Borne and foreign countries, which would be the first step towards federation of the Kmpire. He referred at eome- length to ihe Hon Mr Ward'd treatment of the trust fnnda m ' England, which he strongly condemned, | as well an the seizure of the sinking fands of the loans to local bodiap. These funds were instituted by tha late Mr Dallance as necessary to hone.st finance, and sweep ing them aartyw rt y showed that the finances of the colony must be m desperate straits The t»r ; ff passed last session had not re irovtd anomalies, but dimply increased taxation, though the Government, aaid that they did not want more money Th's deception, he complained of, and Parliament did not 1 face the position squarely, for members were not m a position to act freely. He complained, too, that private memberß had no oppor tunity of bringing on motions ; that- tho difcussi' n on the Pablic Work* Estimates had been bui-ked by a trick, and that returns could nut be got unless the Government agreed to them. He believed that ther* was no Parliament m the civilised world where there was less freedom and know ledge of the internal administration of the country thin m New Zealand. The name of Liberalism had been dragged through the mud; the Oiv ll Service Act violated by the appoint men 6 of cadets low down on the list, m preference to those higher np, simply because th«v were the friends of those m power. Thin was a lowering of democracy, and would result m the training up of a race of hypocrites. The remedy for all these evils of govern ment lay m the intelligence and honesty of the people among themselves, fie spoke strong m favor of an Elective Executive ; he ridiculed the policy of the reconstructed Ministry as outlined by j authority In the New Zealand limes, and said that it bristled with nonsansa. He ! was exceedingly pleased that Mr Hail- Jones had obtained office ; he was a most estimable man, and was one of those who showed a little backbone last sessioi. The legislation oF the present Govern ment had been of very little service to the workers. The whole aim of democracy was to benefit the great mass of the f^np'e and the oolony must have social ref-rrn We had m our midst too much dra»ki«-g and too much gambling, but the Govern* ment had not attempted to lay their finder on this blot on our civilisation. It was hopeless with the present House to get any reform. More interest must bo shown by the people m politics atd the banner of purity of government must ever be before them. A vote of t hanks and unbounded confidence was carried unanimously.

CHERTSEY.

From Our Own Correspondent I

The usual monthly meeting of the Chertsey School Committee was held on Saturday. Present— Messrs W. Oakley (chair), Copland, Ealhani, Lnkiea, and Scarlett. The maßter'n report stated that the attendance for the past four weeks showed an average of 55, and also contained suggestions for some necessary repairs. It waß decided to have the spouting cleaned and the lavatory and swing seat mended, the other repairs to stand over till next meeting. Permission waa granted to the schoolmaster to cut the bottom boughs off the pine trees not higher tht»n four feet from the ground. A circular was received from Mr Dickie re excursion to Lyttelton on Friday next. It> was agreed to grant a holiday on that date providing the master thought a sufficient number would go. ■ <tt was decided to support Messra Adams, Ferryman and Weston for seats on the Board of Education. The sum of £1 10s was received from the sale of books. Two small accounts were passed for payment and the meeting then closed. I

WHY?

Why do I have thin drowsy, lifeless feel ing ? Why does my back ache ; my food cause distress ? Why have I frequent head aches ; and difficulty to secure reBO at night ? Why do I lose flesh, or pass fine sand or gravel ? Because your blood is filled with uric acid poison, which must be eradicated before you can regain healths Your liver is too weak —run down, enervated, and torpid — to properly excrete the bile which accumu lates and poisons the blood, the system, and the kidneys— these greatest blood-purifying organs are failing to perform their normal functions. Thiais"Why" Worner's Safe Cure quickly restores health. It quickens and invigorates the liver to a healthy action. Tens of thousands have witnessed to this fact. Be wise. Frederick the Great said, "Facts ate Divine things. It is only the foolish who doubt facts." Mr R. Bell, of Brisbane, says : " For years I have been suffering from liver complaint and its consequences, which I may say has almost entirely disappeared after a course of treat ment with Warner's Safe Cure and Safe Pills. In my opinion, anyone who gives it a fair trial .will find relief when suffering from any form of kidney or liver complaint."
