STAVELEY.

TVedcliiiff. MOSES— MoRAE. Frem Our Own Correspondent. A brilliant weeding took place at the Staveley Hall on May 20, Between Mr Willian Moses (one of Canterbury's cham pion footballers) and Miss Lily Mcßae, daughter of the well-known and highly esteemed Mr T. E. Mcßae. The hall presented a magnificent appearance, through the excellent taste of that well-known florist,- Mr James Price, Mount Somers, th •ir being fragrant with the perfume ot flowers. The stage, where the ceremony was most impressively performed by the Rev R. B. Westbrooke, waß the grand centre of attraction for its wealth of ferns, flowers, and ivy sprays, lit up with variegated lamps. About 200 guests attended, and sat down with the happy' couple to tables groaning beneath the load 1 of delicacies, the bridal cake being quite a work of art. With regard to the ladies' question of " What was worn," it may be Stated briefly the bride's fair faoe waa made «tttl fairet by a dress of white cashmere, I trimmed with swansdown, with bridal veil, 'the head being decked with orange blossoms. Four bridesmaids— the two Misses I Westbrooke, And the two Misses Moßes— ; dressed m cream and pink, while two pages m Fauntleroy suits, and oarrying bouquets, made a tableau calling to mind Ciauae Melnotte's tender speeches to the Lady of Lyons, m his description of her future home; After the ceremony, Mr Mitchell, of , Ashburton, photographed first the bridal group/ and secondly the invited guests. Mr Walker, of Lauriaton, delighted the com pany with wedding marches and lively yraltzea, and Mr Soott, of Wakanui, assisted nobly with the pipes. Next happy sight to the bride and bridegroom was the kindly beaming face* of the bride's parents, as they greeted " auld acquaintance ' with a joyous welcome. It is not saying too much that the grand old hills, blazing under a glorious sun, never looked down upon a happier - gathering, but quietly it may be breathed there are already encouraging whispers of maidens ab present ■* all forlorn " being in duced to emulate the " lily." May the •* Lily," and her esteemed partner, and all who intend imitating them, meet with their heart's ■ delight, and find their parting breath of love as tender as Cupid's first whisperings. To terminate a description ' of any wedding without mentioning the presents would be like the play without Hamlet, so, briefly, they were numerous aud suitable, from the thoughtful cheque of an old friend and near neighbour to the butter knife indispensable to the tea table. Instead of the "five lamps and sue time pieces," usual ou such occasions, there seemed no clashing, each gift being distinct m its character, as it should be. For such times a quiet committee of young lady friends, might m kindness to any young couple, alwayß make a '• Board of Refer ence/ which would avoid duplicates and triplicates. The newly married couple left for a trip to tbe north, but not before a handsome silver teapot was presented by the footballers of the district. About 150 attended the evening ball.

Imperial Parliament

London, May 23 The House of Commons sat twenty hours continuously. There were dis orderly scenes, and several members were expelled. May 23. Mr Chaplin's Hating Bill has passed through committee. The only obstruction offered to the measure was that by a few Radicals and Irish members. Messrs Lloyd George (Carnarvon), Lewis (Flint District), DjUon (Mayo), I Tanner (Cork), and D. Sullivan (West meath). were suspended for a week for defying the chair. The Sergeant-at- Arms removed Mr Davitt (Mayo W.), Mr James O'Connor (Wicblow), and Mr McLeese (Monaghari), for refusing to vote. Mr Redmond accused Mr Dillon of opposing the Rating Bill m order to wreck the Irish Land Bill. The House of Commons adjourned until Ist* June.

CRICKET.

— » AUSTRALIANS V SOUTH OF ENG LAND. London, May 23 Wifch six wickets down for 258 runs, the Australians resumed their first innings against the South' of England, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the match waß stopped during the day. When the stamps were drawn, the visitors had in* creased their score to 328 runs without the loss of any farther wickets. Trumble was not out 38, and Hill not out 33. The bowl ing of the Home team was rather loose. May 24 The Australians declared their innings j closed Without again going to the wickets. The Englishmen m their first innings had scored 134 runs for five wickets, when rain once more interfered with the- play, and the match was drawn m favor of the Australians. i —

Serious Fire at Napier.

1 Napier, May 23 i A serious fire broke out about 5 o'clock j this morning m tho Masonic Hotel, lessee Mr Frank Moeller, and proprietors, Messrs Neai and Close. By the lime ih. boarders were aronaea the fire was spread ing rapidly, and some only managed i.. escape m what they stood m. Both th. Napier and Spit origades got to work quickly, but they had no ordinary task to cope with the flames, which were deepest rooted m the centre of the hotel. The fact tbat the hotel wss surrounded on ail sides by brick buildings enabled the fire men to confine* the flames to the Masonic and the wooden portion of Charles Pal mer's livery statlea. The back portion of the hotel, facing Marine Parade, was completely destroyed np to the central staircase. The whole of the Hastings Street section is intact, but of course thoroughly gutted. The large brick por tion of three stories, is practically not damaged. The goods m the shops of E. Beresford (tobacconist), R. T. Smythe (bookseller and stationer), Burnett (clo thier), and Ecoles (ohemist), were damaged by water. 'Ihe tire broke out m tbe kitchen. The alarm was first given by one of the servants, who was sleeping m a room immediately above the kitchen. He was aroused by th- suffocating fumes of the smoke. He quickly awoke the others sleeping m that part of the building, and then proceeded to ring an alatm on the bell. How the fire started is a mystery, and will probably remain so. Every thing was apparently safe when the in* mates of the house retired for the night. Many of the boarders lost tho whole of their personal effeots, Indeed, several had barely time to dress so rapidly did the fire spead. One of the heaviest losers is Mr T. Morrison, journalist;, who happened to be at Hastings last nighb, having gone there to report the Premier's meeting on behalf of the Press Association. Mr J. Maginnity has also lost much of his pro perty, his room being almost immediately above the spot where the firo started. Among the other boarders Mr aud Mrs Birch, of Patea, Mrs Glendining, of Wairarapa, and some tourists from Lon don, were considerable losers. The total insurances so far as can be ascertained amount to £12,830. Moeller is a heavy loser.

The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m Borne villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to 'one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears sue- ' ' combed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe ac well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon whioh dairy and kitchen slops have been . thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes att absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to thegarden. The Portable Barrows oan be put to varions kinds of ase, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the > strength of mature years. The cost ib comparatively small. Possession oi one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit.

Holloway's Pills and OiNTMfeN_ exert a rapidly favourable effect m ail those diseases which are induced by exposure to damp or by great changes m temperature.

JL UK-SAY CW llt_>JCV_t»lTA__. OPIHIO«, BOLOLY E-X.PJRKSB.B_D " m Ib is for this reason that an assertion like the following; sticks up above the dead level of our Btupid talk, and becomes noticeable : • When I saw how pale I had grown, I said to myself, it was because something had gone out of my blood.' There 1 that is a statement with the seeds of an idea m it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the rest ofthe letter which contains it. In December, 1890, says the writer, ' I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, a* 1 weary without any apparent cause. My appetite left me, and all food, ever the lightest and simplest kinds, caused me great pain m the ohest and stomach. When I saw how pals I had grown I said to myself it was because something had gone out of my blood. ' Then my sleep was broken , and night after night I scarcely closed my eyes. It wasn't 10-ig before I became so weak and dejected that I took no interest m things around me. I wasso nervous that common sounds annoyed and worried me ; even the noises trade by my own ohildren m their talk and at their play. There was a disgusting taste m my mouth* it made me siok, and often gave me a shiver- ing sensation all over. When I saw other- eating and enjoying their meals I felt as though it Were a strange thing ; m a way I wondered how they could do it. For myself I oould eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns away from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows that without sufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And such was the cisc with me as month after month went by. * Touring all this time, so full of pain and discouragement. I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me, bat without suocess. I do not say he did not understand my complaint ; for may he not have understood it withoutbaving the means of curing it. The answer to the lady's question is : Yes easily enough. All intelligent, studious doctors * understand ' consumption, cholera, cancer, etc., .without (aB yet) having tbe means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between tbe discovery of & want and the way to supply it. * I will now,' continues the letter * tell you how I came to be oured. In April, 1891, 1 read -in a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup. The book said the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases of the stomach, indigestion m every form, and dyspepsia ; and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms des- cribed m the book, and comparing them with my own, I saw plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia, * We sent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after 'taking it a few ilaya I began to feel better. In a very short time, by keeping on with the Syrup according to the directions, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my food. I also slop t soundly and naturally. Then my strength oame baok and with it the color to my face. In short, after a few weeks use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And I shpuld be indeed ungrateful if I were not willing that others should have the benefit of my experience. Yoa are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will be useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, April 24, 1895.' I simply desire to say to Mrs Truran that her idea abcut the blood is a perfeotly correct one. All our food (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and m that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thin and poor (tacking ia nourishment), we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the oause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end ot it. Mother Seigel's Syrnp has the peculiar power to eorreot what is wrong about the digestion, and thus enables the di- gestive maohinery to make good rioh b ood. Which is life and health and beauty.
