The occasion was the Rough on Royalty visit of a certian Royal personage, and the scene was an up-country towa, in Australia. The Royal personage was (whisper it gently) a little late, and the band had some time before completed the official portion of their musical programme, Stirred into action, however, by * what | the entreaties of their feiends, they set to work upon their general repertoire, and soon the sweet strains of "Hush i hush i hush I here comes the Bogey Mani" were heard in all their transcendent grandness. Scarcely had the final lines of the chorus been reached than the Mayor's tremulous voice was heard to say, "Here he comes," and thousands of eyes were turned in wondering fright- to behold-the Royal personage.

My idea is that the Theatre Royal be hired and the usual prices of $3, $2 and $1 be charged, with about a couple of hundred $5 seats on the stage round the ring. This, with a full house, should leave quita Sas over to remunerate the winners, after my own and other expenses have been deducted, and to this I would add the 10,000 cash that I offered last week, so that there should be no question as to the sterling value of the prizes. i would divide the competitors into 'four classes:

Almost immediately afterwards an ear-splitting gong begins to ring, and this soon dispels any wishing to remain behind The inven- tión is so arranged that it begins its work punctually at the hour at which the house must close, and can only be stopped by the man. who possesses the key. It is already reported that numbers of these machines are very effectively working in the North of England and in Scotland, and I have heard that a few dozen are being sent out to Hongkong. Of couple there is one disadvantage, for there is no doubt that keen competition will prevail be tween the new show and the old-time" chucker aut." Many will still prefer being dealt with by the stalwart man at the door, they know him and he knows them, and lingering lovers will miss Pa's gruff tones over the bannisters Familiarity has made friends of both, and they have no wish to have their conservative ways disturbed.

POISONING,
IN NEW TERRITORY.
On Thursday last Tan Him, a farmer, died at the Government Civil Hospital from what. was at first supposed to be poisoning, but the result of a post mortem examination showed that the cause of death was tuberculosis, The previous Sunday evening his wife, two children and himself had their food, consisting of fish, and shortly afterwards they became violently sick. On the following morning the father and uncle of Tan Him partook of some of the fish, and they too, soon afterwards fell sick and de veloped the same symptoms. Dr. Ho Ngai Hok attended the six people and had them removed to the Government Civil Hospital, where Tan Him died on Thursday. The police took charge of the food and arrested one of the inmates of the house, a widowed daughter-in-law of the deceased Tan Him, who, performed the duties of cook for the family. Traces of arsenic have been discovered in the fish, but pending its. complete analysis the accused woman, who was formally charged at the Police Court on Thursday, bas, been remarded until Tuesday. next, at 215 PM.
