A trial interests, and PHILANTHROPIC now intends to de 11ILLIONAIRE. vote himself to the

management of his great philanthropic enterprises, JMo man in the United States has given more lavißhly in the cause of education and charity than Mr Carnegie. Hia benefactions have been - on an imperial scale, and will probably aggregate more than 10,000,000 dollars in the Umted States alone, not including the large sums he has given in Scotland and in England. Mr Carnegie's greatest phil anthropic memorial is the great Pitts burg Institute, which he founded about ten years ago, and which he has en dowed with enormous sums For this purpose alone he is said to have ex pended fully 7,000,000 dollars. Only a few weeks ago the trustees of the in istitute received from Mr Oarnegie 1,750,000 dollars for additions to the t central libraries, art galleries, and music hall, which he proposed to en large to two and one half times their j present dimensions, with the object of making the institute the greatest free educational institution in the world. To Alleghany city Mr Carnegie pre sented a hall and library in 1890. In New York his most conspicuous con tribution to the cause of education is the splendid Carnegie Laboratory Among recent gifts are 100,000 dollars to found a library in Atlanta, 100,000 dollars for a library at Bellefonte, and 250,000 dollars for one in Washington,

Liquified Aib.—When Earl Beauchamp viaited Sydney University the other day, Professor Liveraidge produced in his pre sence some liquified air. This is said to ba the first occasion on which the experiment had been carried out in any parb of Aus tralia.

The Very Thing he Wanted.—A. man paid a visit to the Public Library yesterday and told the librarian that he wanted a book that would iuit a man suffering from rheumatism. The librarian, who is a bit of a wag, replied "I've juat the very thing." " What is it ?" asked the man. " All of a twist" replied the librarian.

Mr Rolleston.—Mr Rolleston will go to Hawera at the end of the week at the re quest of a number of old Canterbury reai d«nts, anxious to renew acquaintance with him. It was under Mr Rolleston'a adminis tration that the Waimate Plains, now Buch a flourishing district, was first settled, and it is probable that Mr Rollestoa will deliver an address dealing with the land question.

Tgjs Wreck of the ELopsHpE.—Mr Fllis, junrl, who lives in the vicinity of the wreck; says the hull of the Elginshire has at last begun to break up. On Saturday he observed that the hull is broken in two, and the forward half (which lies seaward of the stern) has fallen over to the south. The sea was strewn with timber, which that morn jng wa? drifting southward. The Elgin shire was on March 9, 1392, so that she has held together for seven years. —limaru Herald.

The Triad.—We have received the Triad for July, and are pleased to see this excel lent publication maintains the position it has won, and is on all hands spoken of as a really useful periodical, in wide contrast to the numerous trashy magazines which find their way into some houses.: On page 20 of the number before us the Triad gives a number of sentences, published in connection with a recent prifc? competition. These sentences speak in most eulogistic terms of oar popular contemporary, and we bave pleasure in endorsing most of them. Particulars re specting further competitions may be found (elsewhere.

igEßlßiiK Fiee in Hungary.—A terrible ire, attended by great loss of life, is re ported from the district of Guta, in the eomitat of Kaomorn, Hungary. The dimes were fanned by a violent gale, and 300 houses were burned down. The oharred remains of four children and seven women have so far been recovereid from the ruins, and it is feared that more victims will be found in the debris. A gendarme also lost his life. The work of rescue was greatly Impeded by the storm which was raging at fche time, ■

AveebOTED Suicide.--As £he ten o'clock train was coming into Auckhnd station from Onehunga, a man named Thomas Brown was seen by two of the railway porters to step down in front, of the ap proaching train. Grasping the situation promptly the porters at once dragged the man back on the platform. So close was the escape that a lamp in the hand of one of the porters waa knocked away by the engine. Brown was charged at ? he Felice Court with attempted suicide and remandea.—l^!?! 'Association telegram. Madame Caleb's To^e.—The popular and fascinating singer, Madame Emma Calve, has, says tho Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, ordered her gravestone to be planned by a aculptor, M. Denys Puech. It was at firaib thought) that the cantabrice was in jest, bub she was soon found to be in dead earnest. M. Puech was surprised, nob to say overwhelmed, by the extraordinary order, and hesitated a long time before evolving a plant' Madame Calve, however, was pressing, bo he has modelled an artistic sepulchral monument for the songstress. As Madamo Calve shows no sign of approaching dissolution, it is expected that her tomb, as ib is termed, will not be required by her for a long time yet, so that there is every chance of its becoming one of the art exhibits at Paris of the World's Fair of next year. i

Lawyers on Strike,—An unprecedented incident has juab taken place at the Tribunal of Sens. While a case was being tried the judge of the court thought fit to unfairly reprimand one of the barristers' acting for the defence. This gentleman quietly but firmly sought to Justify himaelf ; contra diction and high words ensued, and finally the judge, addressing himself td the gendarmes, directed them to eject the barrister. The latter, however, decided to voluntarily walk out of court, and was immediately followed by all his colleagues, Qa aocounb of the judge's action all the 'barristers of tjr>s* fccwE; of Sens have signed a protestation Against" tjie attitude of the judge, and have further notified" their intention not again to plead before him u'ntJil ample apology shall have been offjred. The faighor authorities in Paris are being con sulted in the matter. Meanwhile buaiusss at the Qourb of justice of Sens is at a standstill, ' j

Belfast Frekzing Works.—The mem bers of the Uhrißtchuroh Cuy Council have accepted the invitation of the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company to visit the Belfast Freezing Works on Thursday, in view of several of the butchers of the oity having determined to slaughter there under the inspection of the County Inspector.

Rev L. M. Isiit.—Rev L. M. and Mrs lsitt received a most enthusiastic welcome at the Opera House, Christohurch, on Monday night. The building was crowded, and ad dresses breathing welcome and best wishes were delivered by representatives of most of the temperance and philanthropic organisa tions in the locality.

Methvhn Yards Company.—The annual meeting of shareholders in the Methven Yards Company was held on Thursday last —Mr J. Baker, chairman of directors, in the ohaic. There was only a small attendance. The report showed that 42,111 sheep, 96 catt!e 9 30 pigs, and 35 horßes had been offered at the twelve sales held during the last ten months, and after paying for all improve ments affected daring the year there was sufficient to provide a dividend of 5 per cent on the capital. The report and balance sheet were adopted. Messrs Morgan and Ore were re-elected directors.

Rough on Them —The following para graph ia fre m the Otigo Dally Times :— Referring to the fact that the Duuedin Hospital, in the place of employing a house surgeon, employed two assistants at £100 per annum, Mr McETaffie, at a meeting of the Christchurch Hospital Board, expressed the opinion (says the Ft ess) that if the Dunedin Board Siked to go in for sweating and a poverty-stricken system, it was no reason for the Christchurch Board following their example. This is a rather novel view to take of the action of the trustees in engaging young medicos who have just passed their examinations.

Thk City of Statues — The London Netvs of the World has the following j — " Auckland City, Kipling's ' last, loneliest, lovelist, most exquisite of all,' Is going in largely for statues. On May 24 the Governor of New Zealand, Lord Ranfurly, is to unveil the Jubilee statue of Her Majesty, this being the work of Mr Wil liamson, the'Qaeen's sculptor.' Then the people of the place, where lived the late Sir George Grey, the Grand Old Man of the South Pacific, have a statue scheme in hand to perpetuate the memory of him they so revered. And now the citizens of Auckland have commissioned Mr Fehr to execute a bu-t of the late Mr Gladstone."

Rational Dbkss Wanted. — A panic was created at the Cookery Class at Grey town a few days ago, by the arrival of a new pupil on the scene. When some of the ordinary pupils arrived they found the instructress standing upon a form with her clothes tightly gathered about her, and gaz ing with horror at an inoffensive mouse that had appeared, probably to test) the good things about to be prepared. The children chased the mouse into the fireplace, and while they surrounded it, the mistress made her escipe to another room where she shut herseif in until the poor rodent got the happy despatch from the number twelve boot of an able-bodied girl. So says the Greytown correspondent of the Masterton Times.

Bbitish Ignorance of the Colonies — I have referred on several occasions (writes a London correspondent) to the blundering of the London press in regard to anything concerning the colonies. Let me give another instance. A firm on the east coast gave to the paper some information relating to the " pigeon post" service from the Great Barrier to Auckland. Their statements were correct. But by the time they reached the Sunday Mail they had assumed a shape calculated to arouse the envy of every philatelist. The " pigeon post" Btamp, it was a said, was a New Zealand Government issue, and the number had been limited to IQpO. Sinoe then there have been plenty of inquiries for a stamp likely to prove so rare. The Barrier, I may add, was described by the same paper as " a fartile spot, inhabited by about ten families."

Pcblic Abattoirs for Christohurgh — The following report of a special Committee on the abattoirs question was adopted on Monday by the Christchurch City Council; — Yoar Committee, having before it the government Inspector's recent report on the slaughterhouses supplying Christchurch with meat, and taking into consideration the known general desire by the Press and public for abattoirs, have decided to reborn mend the Council to erect abattoirs for the city at once, and that the ratepayers be asked to give the Couuoil authority to raise a loan of £15,000 to carry put the under taking, your Committee has fully con sidered the question, and, having come to the conclusion that there is no chance of getting an Act to erect abattoirs wich the power of compelling the killing therein gf all animate intended for consumption ia tha city, have now decided to recommend the immediate erection of abattoirs without such conditions, and trusts that the citizens will support them in the effort to obtain a whole some supply of meat for the city.' 1

. The Envjied Millionaire.—The remark attributed bo Mr 'Andrew"' Carnegie, the Scotch-American millionaire, that he con siders ib a disgrace for a man to die .rich, has created some sensation in plutocratic circles in New York; Several millionaires, interviewed by newspapers, express the strongest disapproval of Mr Carnegie's alleged views, which are pronounced '• incredible, revolutionary, and most eccen tric." Some wealthy men say they do nob believe Carnegie ever made such a statement. Mr Russell Sage, the multi-millionaire, says plutocrats are a benefit to the community. If they were to scatter their wealth tho result would be disastrous to society. Mrs Hetty Green, who is said to be the richest woman in the world, says, " Mr Carnegie is entirely wrong. I think ib a disgrace to die poor. I don't believe in promiscuous chanty." Other plutocrats speak in the same strain, and openly assert that the chief duty of a millionaire is to increase hia millions.

Accident.—Mr James Dellow, Mayfield, has lost v promising young fitly, out) of the noted trotting mare Silky. Ib was being broken in, and being somewhat lively, Mr Dellow lent it to one of his men to ride to Ruapuna to a dance. Arrived there the filly was tied up in the plantation where ib appears to have stood quite quiet until an early hour, when a man noticed it give a plunge and fall; He ran up and cut the rope, but it was quite dead.

Dance at Ruafuna—The young people of Ruapuna, to the number of about forty, had a most enjoyable dance in the hall on Friday night. The floor was good, as also was the violin music supplied by Messrs J. MoLeod and Ooskerie, and dancing was kept up without fUg until 3 a.m. Mesdames Howden and D. Sewell looked after the inner man, and a special vote of thanks was accorded to them. Mr William Coakerie proved an effioiejt M.C.

Miss Helen Gould.—The moafc popular woman in the United States to-day is eaid to be Miss Helen Gould, daughter of the late Jay Gould. She acquired this popularity through her conduct during the late war, and by contributing £20,000 for the relief of the sick and wounded. Consequently the whole nation, through Congress, haß done her honor by ordering a gold medal to ba awarded to her. The States of New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, have thanked her in legislative resolutions. Three thou* sand soldiers and sailors have written their thanks in an album, priceless because of the sentiment ib embodies. From the veterans of the civil war Miss Gould has received the official bidge, while the badge of the New York Fire Department, made in solid gold, is a memento of the Windsor fire, in connec tion with which her house was turned into a hospital, Among the other pr'zed mementos of her loyal services are a set of colors from the men of the Raleigh, a machete and the accoutrements of a rough rider, a working model of the battleship lowa, a great quan tity of projectiles used in the most famous engagements of the war, and engrossed copies of resolutions of thanks from almost every patriotic organisation in the country.

An exceptionally heavy thunderatorm, accompanied by lightning, hail, and heavy rain, passed over the town yesterday after noon. It was severely felt ab Kopu, a tree about a chain away from Williams's hotel being split to pieces. The lightning also struck a wire at Kopu telephone office, breaking the wire and eetting fire to the fjuilding filose to the ceiling. Fortunately Mr Williams was about ; $nd promptly extinguished the bbsse. The shock was also felt in the sitting-room of the hotel, where there is an electric bell connected with the telephone office. The occupants noticed a spark of fire drop from the bell, whilst a cloud of smoke was observed to rise from the telephone office.

Pretoria, J uly 3

The foremost members of the Kaad declare that the concessions proposed by President Kruger at Bloeuifontein Conference are 'he utmost that can be offered.

Commandant Viljoin, the new Rand member of the Raad, in thanking the electors, declared there was little chance of settlement, owing to the ferment created by the newspapers. Mr Chamberlain's allusion to a fester* ing sore was an insult. Agitators had poißoned his mind, inclining him to war; but the Boers were not to be in timidated into relinquishing their rights.

Capetown, July 8

Meetings at Durban, Piefcermaritz burg, Queenstown and Hutterheim emphasised the resolutions passed at the Capetown demonstration. The speakers warned Great Britain against countenancing the intolerable oppres sion and tyranny which lowered her prestige and endangered their loyalty. A Green Book issued in Pretoria contains the despatch of Herr Reitz, of May 9, denying the existence of British suzerainty, and haughtily declining to continue unnecessary discussion on the subject.

The Oatlanders insist on equality of language rights, and they have some misgivings as to Mr Chamberlain's re mark that their representation under Sir A Milner'n proposals would not ex ceed one fifth of the Voikaraad. Mr Hofmeyr recommends a compromise somewhat short of Sir A. Milner'a franchise.

The outlook is graver. It is feared that Mr Schreiuer is dallying in the matter.
