Su- tricts report crops averaging twenty- five bushels to the acre and the yleld in the southern part of the island is | reported equally heavy. Many farmers | who were mortgaged to their full lia- | bility have managed to clean up all their debts and the generad tone is one of satisfaction among wheat growers. Cattle reports fom New Zealand are not so favorable. There is a general complaint that cattle raisers are neg- lecting opportunities. The methods df butchering are sald to be crude and expensive. There is, too, a complaint in the papers that American beef is taking the place of Australian raised meat, notwithstanding that splendid facilties are afforded for the shipment of frozen meat to England. The blame is laid entirely on the butchering of the cattle and underneath a bundle of ver- | biage one may read a cry for a thor- ough American packing-houre, with its various processes for treatins cattle. CARDINAL IS POPULAR. Cardinal Moran, the head of the | Catholic church in _ustralia, was given a most enthuslastic reception on his return from Rome to Sydney. While |in Rome he was loaded with special honors by the Supreme Pontiff and on his return he received no less gratify- ing testimc .ials from the people of | Sydney. He arrived on the steamship Orizaba and was taken in a launch to | the pier. Every vessel in the harbor { whistled him a welcome, and the Lord | Mayor of Sydney went personally out in a launch to give him a greeting. | A special steamer, loaded down with | children in holiday gowns and gar- i landed with flowers, met the Cardinal's | launch in the bay and escorted him to the pier. On shore receptior followed | reception. He listened to addresses | from clergy and laity, merchant and lawyer, and three days were consumed |in assuring the Cardinal that he was | thoroughly welcome to his home again. | Captain Daniel Evans s dead. This { will be sad news to his many friends | who knew him from the white cathedral of Callao to the ice-breasted shares of | 8t. Michael. He was taken ill in Mel- | bourne, Victoria, while captain of the | sailing ship Dimsdale, and died in a | private hospital from pneumonia. His wife survives him and has a residence | at Plymouth, England. has left Australia for good. He has been holding a colonial appointment in S8ydney for the past seven years, and | according to reports, was rather popu- |lar there. On December 7 he sailed | with his wife and two sons for “merry ! ol . England,” where hereafter he ex- | pects to make his home. The expres- | sions of regret at his departure were universal and the loss of Lacy Tenny- son to the islands was voice' far and wide in the press. It is understood that Lord Tennyson is to have an appoint- { ment under the Crown in either Eng- |1and or Ireland. NEW GOLD DISCOVERY. Brisbane, well known to most mining {in gold ore. A rich discovery is re- | ported in the “Welcome Stranger” mine in the Warwick district and holders of claims thereabouts are much encour- | aged. At a depth of thirty-five feet a vein was cut which was literally | studded with gold, said to average over | $8000 to the ton. It is also said that 5¢ | renewed activity in mining operations has followed the recent discovery. New Zealand, as well as California, is wrestling with the wine adulteration | problem. The Govérnment is attempt- |ing to prezent doctdring of native | wines, but hpparently is not getting ! necessary support from the press. A recent issue of the Sydney Morning Herald says: The Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Kidd, states that the examination of wines under the provisions of the wine adulteration act is car- ried out under the direction of the Agricultural Department. no analyses of Australian wines have been made by the Heaith Board officers for the Ag- ricultural Department. This explanation is considered necessary in order to clear up a misunderstanding which appears to have arisen in reference to certain evidence given by Mr. Hamlet, Government Analyst, before the select committee of the Legislative Assembly appointed to inquire into the use of ‘preservatives in food and drinks. Mr. Vesey R. Gosche, in a letter published in | these columns, stated that Mr. Hamlet was re- | ported to have said in the course of his evi- dence: “‘He had found as much as 60 grains of salicylic acld to the pint in colonial wine and 23 grains to the pint is very frequent.”” Mr. Gosche remarked that this was a most sweep- | ing condemnation of our wines, and in_the | interest of the wine industry he desired to know whether Mr. Hamlst arrived at that opinion prior to or after the enactment of the wine adulteration act. We learn, on the au- thority of the Minister for Agriculture, that Mr, Hamlet In his evidence referred to analyses he made eight or nine ye ———— COMPLAINTS STRICKEN OUT FOR INFORMALITY James 8.

T. H. Corning, master of the Mag- | gie, testified that at 7 a. m. the steam- | er left Mission-street wharf for Half- moon Bay, traveling at half speed, the day being foggy. He sighted the San Jose coming from the direction of Oakland while the Maggie was about 300 yards from the ferry slip. | The San Jose blew one whistle and | the Maggie answered with one whistle | and ported her helm. Almost im- mediately the San Jose blew two whistles, which the witness answered with two and then put his helm to starboard. Then the two boats came together, the San Jose striking the | Maggie on the bow, carrying away | part of the bulwarks and the ugper part of her stem. William A. Rasmussen, master of the San Jose, swore that the Maggie ! ran into his boat. The Maggie was one point on the port bow of the fer- ry steamer when the San Jose gave two whistles and starboarded the helm. He was answered with two whistles from the Maggie, which swung on a ported helm, striking the San Jose on the starboard bow, caus- ing slight damage to the boat's dav- its. ' The witness then backed the fer- ry steamer at full speed and gnvel three short whistles, which were not ! answered by the Maggie. The case was taken under advise- | ment. —_—— In the Divorce Court. Interlocutory decrees of divorce were granted yesterday to Elizabeth | M. "Ashley from Herbert M. Ashley - for desertion, Mary E.

Hildebrand against Agnes Hil- debrand for cruelty, John Ferreti against Agnes Ferretti for infidelity, Lottie V. Nelgon against Chris Nelson | against Albert J. Francis for neglect. —————— Change of Steamer’s Name.

Absolutely sure to suffer worse each year un.il the cause is removed. And that cause is Coffee Care to know how it works with some people ? A professional Nurse of 15 vears’ experience and who studied for three years under one of the most eminent specialists of Springfield, ll., speaks of coffee drinking and its effects, citing particularly the case of her own husband. “When I married him he was a confirmed coffee drinker, and it had to be strong or he missed the stimulant and had headache; as the years went on the headaches became more and more frequent, sometimes lasting two or three days, and the coffee must be made stronger. His stomach became badly affected, headaches became chronic and rheumatic paralysis came on, commencing with the little finger of the left hand and gradually extending to every finger until the entire hand was helpless; then the right hand was affected in the same manner, then extended to his elbows, shoulders and joints of his limbs. His muscles seemed to slowly contract and stiffen, and at times the pains were so intense strong opiates had to be administered. “For over 4 years I dressed and undressed him as I would a child; he was so helpless he could not even remove his slippers or stockings or bathe himself. Adfter 6 vears of such ter- rible suffering a bad cough set in, coming from his stomach, not from the lungs, and he raised the most corrupt matter I ever saw. “The incessant coughing and straining strained the main artery of his throat, and I found a growth or hard substance coming on the lower part of his neck, which gradually enlarged until it protruded outward as large as a turkey egg and pressed on the windpipe so much he could only breathe or swallow sitting up in a padded chair, a hopeless invalid, The best physicians and specialists attended him, and the verdict of all was the same—he must die: nothing could save him. “I thought coffee made matters worse, and I resolved, unknown to my h\fsbar!d, to try Postum and drop coffee, so I purchased a package and prepared it aecording to directions, boil- ing it 20 minutes after it commenced to boil, then’scalded a little cream and prepared a small cupful. 1 gave him two teaspoonfuls and no vomitifg followed or nausea, and after waiting an hour I gave him two more spoonfuls, and he said it tasted good and did not burn his stomach. “For a week I continued the Postum, gradually increasing the quantity, and then I be- -gan to add to each cup of Postum a spconful of Grape-Nuts foed. The doctor said my struggle was useless—that the aneurism in his throat would grow until it choked him to death. But I would not give up. He drank nothing but Postum, and the vomiting ceased entirely, the burn- ing in the stomach was allayed and the cough much €asier, with the discharge from the stomach growing less and losing its offensive odor. “At the end of three montis, after I began to give him Postum in place of coffee, he was actually able to leave his chair and, leaning on my shoulder, walk a few steps. That was over a year ago, and to-day he can walk to the postoffice, nearly a mile, and back every day, takes care of the garden and enjoys life. 5 “The aneurism is reduced so much that he lies in bed and sleeps with comfert, while the stomach trouble has entirely disappeared. His case is considered one of the most remarkable that has ever been know here in medical surgery. “You may be sure coffee has been banished friend, is served at every meal.” o from our home and Postum, the life-saving Any one can drop the Coffee habit instanter by using good, well-made Postum Coffee.
