INSTITUTE OF JiWJIIS 1 LISTS. - ♦ Tinted Prenß A«»"Q*ation — By Electric W Ellington, August 29 The annual meeting of the New Zealand Institute of Journalists was held tlds after* noon, and wrs largely attended. Mi Gresley Lukio, tbe president, was m iho chair. la reviewing the work ot the year, the Presi- dent said he did n<;t hold out any hope of the Defamation Rl! being proceeded with this Fessi^n. He movtd the adoption of | the report and balance sheet. The Hon Mr McCuliough, m seconding the motion, referred to the excellent position of the institute, and Baid he thought there would be no d fficulrv m obtaining the recognition of the New Zealand Institute by the English Institute, especially as it could now be shown that the former was a real I Uve institution. I Mr Taperell, m congratulating the insti- tution upon its sound position, said that ai far as he knew, New Z -aland was the only colony m Australasia, m which there was what might be termed a journalhtic house- hold. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year :— Piesident — Mr Gresley l.ukin, Wellington, (re-elected) j Vice-Presi- dents- Hn. W. McOaLough, Auckland, Messrs XV. H. Triggs, Christchurch, and Mai k Cohen, Dunedin ; hon. secretary — Mr C. W Earle, Wellington ; hon. treasurer- Mr Grcsley Lukin, Wellington. The by-laws were amended to provide that the Council meetings m May be held m Wellington or at ouch other place as tbe Council may determine. r ) he President announced that as the result ot ths circular !ttt«-r he had cent our, urging the recognition of the piincipie thab each member of the literal y B! aft of a news- paper should receive a fortnight's holiday every year, there bad been a most gratifying desire on tho part of newspaper pr< p-ietora throughout the colony to work m harmony with tbe institute m the matter. On the motion of the President, the follow- ing motion was carried unanimously— - " That tbe congratulations of this inititute be con- veyed to Sir Jaaie3 Fairfax and Sir W. Bonython, as representatives of the press ef Australia, m that they have had conferred upon them the honor of knighthood by the Qaeen." Correspondence was read from the Christ- church branch, enclosing a resolution pro- testing against the exclusion of a lady cor- respondent from the pießs gallery of. the Houße. Mr J. L. Kelly (Chrictchurch delegate) moved — " That this institute, having recog- nised the right of women jonrraliats lo membership, gives its hearty Bupport to tbe contention thai- m- every department of journalistic work women shou d receive tbe same privileges, facilities, and remuneration as men " Mr Malcolm Rose (Christchnroh) seconded the motion. Mr J. D. Siev wright (Oamaru) moved an amendment " That this meeting cordially reaffirms the equality of women acd men aa members of this imttrntp, but the meeting approves of the reeo ution of 'he members of the presa gall ry regarding the inadvisable- ness of m xing w< men and men m tbe pie- sent gallery, and rerommerds that the Council of the Icßti'ture take steps for the prevision of equal facilities for ladies repre- efti- g news>p«pers m ParliHm«-nr." This was teconded by Mr C. O Montrose (Auekl&ud), and i-fter temv di? cushion the amendment was carried by fourteen votes to five This concluded the business.

John Whiting's Disappearance. Ey AUGUSTA PSESCOTT. [Copyright, 1895, by American Press Associa- tion.] My friend Mr. Martinot, who is one of the cleverest private detectives m this country, told me this story: One afternoon I sat m my office won- dering what strange thing would turn up next when there came a ring at my telephone bell. It was from the Lane National bank, and the message was this: "Come at once. Directors want to see yon." Splitting my day dreams m half, I ran down my office steps, caught a horse oar and was soon m the president's room of the Lane National bank m the pres- ence of what appeared to be all the di- rectors. My trained eye noticed at once, however, the absenoe of one of the offi- cers. The president himself was not there. The vioe president sat m his ohair and began without any ceremony to Btate the oase: "Mr. Martinot, "he said, "we have a most serious case to present to you — that of a bank robbery. And it will need all of your acumen and experience to disoover the guilty parties and bring them to justice, as well as to recover, wb hope, a part of the missing funds. The seriousness of the situation you will understand when I tell you that last night there were $300,000 m bank bills stolen out of the vault of this bank. We hope by ooming forward with our own personal loans to tide over the present financial difficulty m whioh the rob- bery throws us. But you oan see that not only skill m deteotion but care to keep the matter from the publioat pres- ent must be exeroised. " I nodded to indicate that I under- stood, and the vice president went on: "This morning our cashier, Marcus Rexford, oame to the bank as usual, and at the beginning of banking hours went to the vault — one of the old fashioned, but thoroughly secure makes — and using the combination unlocked it. There was another clerk m his presence, according to custom, and all appeared as when left yesterday afternoon. When the door of the vault swung open, Mr. Eexford was horrified to see the papers disar- ranged, and looking closer he saw that the great packages of new bank bills had all been stolen. "Immediately the alarm was given. Then we discovered that Cyrus Wall, the president, had not yet come down. We telephoned for him, but received the answer that he had not been home over night. He lives with his brother and sister-in-law since the death of his wife, and the latter states that it is the first time since his sojourn there that he has been missing. All inquiry about him after he left the bank yesterday is m vain. And we are foroed to the con- clusion that — that" — The vice president paused, unwilling to frame the words that made his fel- low officer a criminal. He motioned to the cashier, who had been seated behind me. Marcus Rexford was a little man with a weak voioe and a weak manner, the last one I should have connected with the idea of a bold bank robbery. "The president and I," said he, "were the only ones who had the com- bination when the bank closed yester- day. We shut the vault together, and no one else was near enough to have even heard the weights drop. I found it robbed when I opened it this morning. That is all I know." The little man was greatly oonfused. And no matter how much questioning was put to him he could be certain of nothing else. No, he did not remember anything suspicious m the president's aotions except that he had made in- quiries particularly about the day when the safe would contain the largest amount, saying that extra precautions must be taken. I went back to my office to think the matter over, promising to report again at 8 o'clock that evening, when m a couple of hours my telephone rang again. It was another hurried call to the bank. I arrived m all possible haste to find them gathered m little knots and talk- ing exoitedly. "Found drowned 1" "Sui- oide!" "Must have been dead since last night!" were the words I heard. "This is a terrible thing, " said the vice president, whom I met at the door with his hat m his hand. "They have telephoned us from the pier where he was jußt found. Come with me at once for the full identification of the body." There m one of the little rude sheds upon the pier, where he had been dis- covered scarcely three feet under water, lay the body of the drowned president, Cyrus Wall. He wore the same clothes m whioh he had left the bank— a suit of dull black and a light overcoat and patent leather shoes. In his pockets were letters addressed to him and also one of the identification slips so often worn by businessmen. His olean shaven face was turned up calmly as though he had died easily, and beyond a few bruises, oaused probably by the oars of the xiverman who had found him, he looked as natural as I remembered see* ing him only a few days before at the bank. They were still searching the body when we arrived, and although we were prepared for much we could not repress a startled exclamation when the search- ers drew from the dead man's inner pocket a roll of bank bills still wrapped m their United States treasury wrap- pings. The roll contained $5, 000. We turned sadly away. The guilt of Cyrus Wall was established. But why had he drowned himself? And what had become of the remainder of the money? At the inquest it was found that Cy- rus Wall, to make sure of killing him- self, had committed a double suicide. In his stomach was found a sufficient quantity of laudanum and whisky to kill a human being, and then, after tak- ing this, he had committed suicide by drowning himself. It was the verdict at the bank, and the popular verdict, for the affair could (To be continued.) CHOOL Books for all Standards. Special value m 63 Exerciso Books ; 3000 12-inch Kulerß, £d each.
