The Auckland Case

Mr failrath is Positive

(Press Special CoKsrspoyDMt-T)

Wellington, July 4 Mr Gilruth hae now completed his r«- Marehe* in coanee'ioa with the last case fa Auckland^ AH the tests prove conclu sively that the case waa one of trua plague. uTka microscopic elimination of numerous elides, the staining tests, the cultures in different media, and the innooculation of guinea pigs and rats reveal the true plague bacillus. Five guinea pigs and a number of rats that were inoculated have all died. The symptoms of the Mnets in each ease were characteristic of pl«gae, and plague derma were found in the dead animals. Mr Gilroth apparently is willing to stake his reputation on the point-,, for he has pre •erved one of the guinea pigs and some of the Ofllturts in formation, acd is quite agreeable that they should be sent to the Pasteur Ik •tltatc and the highest plague authorities in India for a report. The Auckland people j have laid great stress on the fact that there baa not been a c»se io connection with any •f the contact^ bat it must be remembered that in Sydney very few of the contacts developed the disease, whioh is mainly die ■eottnftttd by rat*. The Auckland members §>tao laid great stress on the opinion of Ptc* festor Thomas, of Auckland, and expressed themselves willing to abido by hie deoUiou. It ia understood that Professor Thoma* baa sew declared that the case was one of fUgas.

A Wife Returns After Twenty Years.

HUSBAND RE-MARRIED.

At) Southwark Police Court ft few days ago,a m»n, who said he was employed at a greengrocer*' shop in Southwark Park Road, applied to Mr Paul Taylor for advice in peculiar circumstances. He said that he was married 43 years ago, and very soon found that hehad made a mistake. He was very unhappy, and his wife sold all the home. She left him two or three times, and eventually deserted him altogether. That wat 20 years ago. About 14 years later he met a very nice woman, and, believing that his first wife was dead, as he had not heard anything of har, he married again, sad had been very happy since. This week, however, his first wife reappeared, and olaimed support, and he did not know what to do. Mr Paul Taylor i Ycu are quite safe from any prosecution for bigamy it you rnirried again after a period of more than seven years from the time of yoar wife's desertion, you believing that your first wife was dsad. If your statement is true, I should decline to support her if I were you, unless I was com pelled to do so. Applicant said that when his daughter tod htm that her mother w s alive he w»s greatly astonished* He had not seen the daughter for 12 years*

Mr Paul Taylor: She may hare married again herself In the meantime.

Applicant: That is just what my em ployer says, and I ean'b fiad it out, MrFasl Taylor: I hwe told you all X can.

Actress and Husband.

Mils Granville fails to get a Divorce.

Ia the divorce Division, reoently, Sir Francis Jeone delivered his reserved judg ment ia the ease Synge v Hynge, In this oas« petitioner, Mrs Charlotte Syngc, the daughter of General Stuart, now known in the theatrical profession as Miai Granvilfo, sought a divorce from her husband, M»j >r Sypge, oa the ground of ah all ged desertion and misconduct", The ease was tried before His Lordship and a common jury, the ques tlon of miseandueb being left for the jury, and that of desertion to His Lordship. The jury found fcbat misconduct ha I been com mitted, and after argumesb His Lordship reserved judgment en the quiitton of deter* tion.

His Lordship, after reviewing the evidence in the case, said that it w»s clear that the hnsbknd wished to live with hie wife as huo buid and wife, and it was equally clear that she was willing to live with him bat) net as wife. The husband was willing to oobabib If marital rights were allowed, and the wife was witling to live with him if marital rights were not insisted on. It was said that the refusal of marital rights did not constitute a matrimoeial offonoe. That was quite true, but it was equally clear tbab it constituted a reasonable cause for a man deserting his wife. He declined to hold lhab a mac must suffer the mortification and misery whioh petitioner in this case sought to inflict. It was opposed to the whole object of married life as expressed in the marriage service. The resu't was thafc he found respondent did not desert his wife, but rather that she deserted him, and that) if he did desert her he did so with reasonable cause. Id thare* fore followed lhab the petition failed, bat inasmuch as petitioner and respondent had each succeeded on one issue each p<rty would pay their own costs. His Lordship added that he woeld dismiss the petition in bo far aa it asked for a divorce, bub would pub the case in the paper for argument on the claim for a judicial separation.

AN OLD MURDER COMES TO LIGHT.

Murder never spoko with a more miracu* lous organ than it has to-day, when, after eighteen years, a foul crime committed in Ireland has been unearthed. The police are on the track of the alleged murderer, who is now living at ease nob far from New York. Some thirteen ye-ra ago a man named Alexander Reid mysteriously disappeared at Cookatown, in the County of Tyrone, laeland. There was no suspicion of foal play at the time, though, strange to sty, the sob of the misting man, Samuel Refd, disappeared too He was next heard of in America, where he now is. The affair was a nine days' wonder, bat talked ceased and the old man was forgotten, whose body, or all that remains of him, has now been found. Iboame about in this way The Cooks town Burial Board ordered a wall to ba bnilb round Meld gravty&rd to prevent rabbits harrowing. While digging the foundations, the workmen came upon a ■kaletoa, doubled np as if the body had been tumbled into a hole three feet long. The kown was ■#on is commotion and the ectenor held an inquiry. The skeleton showed unmistakable signs of murder. The skull was cracked, there was a hole through the head, and the jaw was broken. The clothes round the skeleton, with brass buttons of a peculiar pattern, such at were worn by the peasantry of ths time, were identified as those of Alexander Reid, the man who bo mysteriously spirited away to long ago. Now the jury have returned a verdict ef wilfal murder against the son Samuel, and a warrant is out for his arrest.

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tne presenoe at aoids.
