' QUEENSLANDERS' ANNUAL DINNER London, Jane 28 At the Qaeenslatsdera' annual dinner the guests included Lord Strathcon* and tbe Agents-General, Mr Tozer (Queensland), presided, and m the coarse of his speech said he regretted that Queensland had sent an untried team to the Federal Parliament Captain Gordon, replying to the toaet of the Imperial forces, said that when credit was doe to the Oolonialg it was amply given by the Imperial oificers SMALLPOX Sydney, June 26 Another passenger by the Ormuz, named O'Brien,has developed smallpox, and is now m quarantine THE MO ANA The initial visit of the Moana to Vancouver was marked by a luncheon, given by tiaptain Oarey, to the leading citizens of Vancouver, The Mayor, the American Consul, and Sir Charles '1 upper were present.

Mr Pirpont Morgan's Designs.

(By W R Lawson m the " Daily Mail") It may be sometime before Mr Morgan allows any lad lea t ions of his fai-reaching designs to escape him. But the circum stances attending the deal auggeßt that the best part of the Leyland fleet is to remain m the Atlantic trade, with which it has already been chiefly associated. A second inference which may be hazarded is that it will becone tributary to one or other of Mr Morgan's big industrial schemes. They are upper most m his mind just now, particularly hi.-, billion'doliar steel trust. To them his rail roads and his ocean steamers will be alike subservient, until they become firmly established. , Mr Carnegie has solved, for him the pn b:em how to make the cheapest possible uttel, and evidently he Is himself going to attack the complimentary problem, how ta find the largest market for ib. Asa past master of railroad finance he kn.ws that the Hunts of hia market will dm determined by cost of transport. We aitiy expect from him, therefore, some noiable experiments m the way of cheap* en ing transport, both by land and sea. Between wheat and steel Mr Morgan will have ample work for his Leyland fle<>t. No doubt he expects to lay both of them down m Liverpool or where'ever eke they may be needed at prices to astonish, not to say alarm, Old World competitors. The Central News says there is a probability that the Crown Prince of Japan will visit England during the coming summer. The Prince, wbo is 24 years of age, is possessed of great intellectual gifts, but is physically delicate, and for this reason has never yet visited Europe, His Highneiw has been recsntly married, and should the Emperor consent to his visit he will probably bring his wife with him. If' custom makes law,' then Sunday golf is likely to secure a pretty firm standing m America. The number of parsons who seek the links 'after church is over' is rapidly growing, to say nothing of those who begin the sport earlier m the day, A San Francisco actress, m despair at not being able to display all her jewels at the same time by ordinary methods, has had her finger nails toughened and bored. By thiß means she finds accommodation for far more than the usual number. She has a diamond set like an earring hung from every nail, five gems are set m her thumbs and three finger nails, and a big jewel is fastened by chains to the back of her hands.

No fuss about ie What is it. Why Doan's Backache Kidney Fills The little kidney wonder workers. What will they do ? Read what a citken.says: — Mrs T Gibson, Moore street), this town, states :— *41 have been subject to pains m the back for some time and lately £ have used Doao's Backache Kidney Pills for this ailment, They have proved.very good indeed. Sufferers from this form of complaint cannot underestimate tfce value of; this medicine for such troubles. In fact, I lost the pains soon after I began to take the pills, and 1 had been troubled a good deal at that time. I obtained them afc the Ashburton Drag Company ia Eastßtreat. : & access has brought up many imitations of Dean's Fills, but there Is nothing just as good as the remedy which helped Mrs Gibson, therefore be sure you get the same medicine. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by ail chemists and storekeepers at 3a per box (six boxes 16s 6d) or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, poster MeOlellan &o 76 Pifcfc St Sydney New South Wales.
