HIS MESSAGE.
It is a piy to have to say, from private in- formation that may be taken as trustworthy, that there appears to be no likelihood, for some considerable time at any rate, of the Government taking up the question of the re- gistration of domestic servants. A petition to Government in reintroduce fresh legislation to this and was put into circulation here some A NUMBER OF
time ago, and was largely signed by Singa- KOLLS OF SUPERIOR SILK FROM THE IMPERIAL LOOMS,
pare house-holders, including many ladies. Handsomely Embroidered and Suitable for Prior to sending in the petition formally, it was deemed expedient by the promoters to ondeavour to ascertain privately what viewed H. E the Governor would likely take on the subject of the petition. We learn now that Sir John Anderson did not see fit lo reopen the questios, as registration was tried before and proved a complete failure. Before dis- cussing the position further we might say that it is only those who were here at the time of the trial of the Domestic Servants Registration Ordinance and were familiar with the fate of that abortive piece of 'le-

"An entirely ineffective and unworkable system of voluntary registration of domestic servants was tried, and it failed as everybody knew beforehand it would fail"
What is Gorky's message? It is doub fal whether he has ever consciously set himself the task of bringing one. Love of mankind? It may be. Rather, the right of immunity from interference; the wickedness of buying happiness al another's expense: the said conviction-

[Again another curious coincidence. Just at this point (at noon-gunfire) information was brought to the Editor that H. E. the Governor's unregistered Hailam boy was convicted to-day of stealing H. E. the Governor's gold watch. (The railway director on the buffers during a. railway collision). We trust that when H.

Discharged as useless from his post of assistant MONDAY, 3rd April, in a small boot shop, he had the good fortune to cast in his lot with an ex-non-commissioned officer, the cook of a Volga stramer-a ştrange kind of literary godfather, but for whom Gorky's attainments might for ever have been limited to a bowing acquaintance with the Psalms of David to which his maternal grandfather had compelled his unwilling attention.
The ex-soldier seems to have been a poor cook but a good judge of literature, and the torn and greasy books which Gorky found among the stewpans in the cook's galley not only taught him to read with facility, but imbued i him with the love of letters which was the 353 ruling passion of his culinary tutor.
