TO-DAY'S' TELEGRAMS.

United Press Association-By Electric Telegraph, Copyright. Auckland, June 30 A girl aged seventeen reported to the police that on Monday night last she was I accosted by armed and masted men, who i made her strip off all her clothing, but Slowed her to retain a waterproof m which she certainly was admitted to a friend's house. She says the men stated they had got tired of playing ping pong, and deter mined to hare some fan with the first woman they met-game enough to come out m such a stormy Bight, The men did not attempt to lay hands on her. The story is believed by the girl's mother, but it is suspected that the story about the men ia*a hallucination. It is supposed she re moved her clothes on the verandah of the friend's house before knocking. A defective water tap m the tea rooms of the large shop of Court Bros, drapers, m Queen street, burst, and after the premises were closed on Saturday night a torrent of ■water poured through the floors, causing damage to the haberdashery, probably amounting to £1000. There were six inches of water on the main floor when the shop was opened this morning.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Wellington June 30 The Government has received a rough draft of the proposed,eontract with the Blue Star line for a service to South Africa, and expects to hear any day from the Agent- General of the settlement of the present difficulties.

Extraordinary Outrages.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Auckland, June 30 A story somewhat similar to that pre viously wired, is told m a letter to the "Star" which, if genuine, would justify the belief m that told by girl number one. The names, times, and localities being dif ferent, though both affairs are reported as having occurred last Monday night. In the case just reported the girl states she was liccosted by three masted men who com pelled her to strip herself of all her cloth ing, and struck her with the butt ends of their pistols because she screamed, gagged her, and left her with only an umbrella not far from her own home, which she reached m the condition stated. Steps are being taken to verify this story, which unlike the former lias not been reported to the police. Later. A reporter made diligent search for the oirl number two at the address given/ which was a lane off Pitt street, but failed to discover her. It is presumed this case has no foundation m fact.

Business men are busy men, and m the rush of business, m theanxiefcy and worry of keeping pace with the swift inarch of pro gress, the proper nourishment of the body is too often neglected. Irregularity and the disobedience of Nature's laws produce mal nutrition of the body, and the busy business man finds himself a semi-invalid, suffering from chronic constipation,dyspepsia, bilious ness, depression, insomnia, torpid liver, and weakened kidneys. The business man and the business woman need health, energy, and good spirits to succeed, and to such as suffer Impey's May Apple, the ideal family medi [ cine, is a boon. It acts gently and pain lessly, and aids Nature. It is mild m its I operations and certain m its effects.

This is, however, quite a mistake, the very reverse being the case. The Association receives n«ws direct from persons whose duty it is to collect the latest official information concerning His Majesty, which is at once forwai-ded to the colonies. Mr Seddon apparently does this as a labour of love, and when he can.cables to Sir Joseph. Ward. It will be seen that the Associa tion cables generally have later news.
