CHINESE AFFAIRS.

THE DIPLOMATIC DOWAGER-

EMPRESS.

United Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright Prkin, February 7 The Chinese provinces are bo op posed to the Emperor's deposition that the Dowager-Empress now explains that it is not intended, and that only the heir baa been selected.

Chaplains Fe* Ihe From.—The Dupe din Presbytery moved in the right direction at the meeting on Friday la«b by discussing the question as to whether ths Presbyterian Church of Ot»go and Southland should send an accredited «gent, minister, or Scripture reader with the Otago contingent to South Africa. The Timfs sajs that upon thu there seemed to be only one opinion. No one spoke against it, and several warmly supported it, and a committee was uoani moualy appointed to make the necessary in quiries, and to report next Tuesday. A diviniy student offered to go, anb his letter sets forth his qualifications for the post, ; which evidently include the capacity for roughing it and an acquaintance with mili tary discipline. Coming Events—According to a corres pondent of tte Daily News, one of the soldiers leaving London for the front must have suffered rather a shook on his wife's appearance to bid him farewell. She ap peared at Waterloo, sobbing and gowned in widow's weeds, wbioh she bad purchased specially for t'io occasion. The soldie's remarks at his wife's "intelligent anticipa tion of events before they occurred," were, it is said, somewhat lurid. Keating's Powder destroys Bugs, Fleas, Moths, Battles, and all other insects, whilst quite harmless to domestic animals. lv exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. Ib i« perfectly clean in application. See the article you purchase is "Keatings," ie, with the signature Thomas Khating on each tin, as imitations are noxious and ineffectual. Sold i: tin*s 64 and Is each, by all chemists.

fc b -tt IT ADATIO THE OREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRfSAT TRIUMPH C'VKR " MYDATIDS." A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of (his pieat Herbal Hc«"Hv, Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingston at., St. kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Boucke st, I Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Ureat Herbal I Remeoy, "Vitadatio," has been the sold means vi saving my life I think the least 1 can do is to hand you this testimonial, so that others suffering the same as myself may know j that there is a certain reliable cure for them in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only gives a fair trial. The s mple facts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatmentof doctors in Fitzroy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the best in Collins street. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure me. You oan easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised .cure by " Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give ib a trial, with the resulb 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited np a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continncd to vomit these "Hydatids" for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the •• Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I aan honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio " a miracle-worker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my oure as I am. I shall ba pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at peffecb liberty to make what u<ae you like of this testimonial. I may add I am now able to do | all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Youra very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witness-G B Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
