COLONIAL ITEMS.

From papers received by the
Alameda, we CLEAN the following
items:
Sir Charles and Lady Halle gave
their final concert at Sydney on
the evening of the 18th inst before
a most enthusiastic audience of
over 5000 persons.
The gun which burst on board
81. B. M. S. Cordelia was a six
inch breach-loading Armstrong,
weighing 81 cwt. Six ordinary
charges had been fired that day
without any indication of weak
ness. At the seventh round the
gun was loaded with a full charge
of thirty-four pounds of powder
and common shell. Nearly all
the gun outside the trunnions
went overheard, the rest flew
about in pieces weighing up to 5
cwt. The explosion burst through
the upper deck and wounded two
men on the main deck. Two lieut.
enants and four seamen and mar
ines were killed. Three midship-
men and nine men were wounded.
Though the labor party in New
South Wales elected a majority of
the Parliament, the labor members
vote with the government. Sir
Henry Parkes is triumphant. Both
houses of the Victoria Parliament
passed the federation resolutions
with cheers.
Bishop Selwyn has arrived at
Sydney from the New Hebrides

though improves in health is still
unable to Walk and leaves for
England shortly.

1t is the intention of the Post
MASTER General of New Zealand, in
renewing the San Francisco and
direct mail services, to include, if
possible, a condition in the con-
tract that only New Zealand owned
boats shall carry the mails. Mr..
Ward, however, has some doubt at
present whether such a condition
would be practicable.
A disastrous fire is reported from
Ottawa, July 10Th, as having oc-
Cured at Montreal, twenty miles Of

1t l0GOS CuLlilS'
haven't made up your NINA
what sort of a lawn mower
YOU want! We're going to
tell you.
If the grass is very long, get
a Pennsylvania high grass cut.
ter. 1t will work just as well
in short grass as any other,
but the ordinary mower Will
NOT do for high grass.
If you manage with that
antiquated affair you've been
using to keep the grass short
but ragged, we advise you to
get one of our pennsylvania
or "New Easy Lawn Now
ers. Either of them will do
the work and you may not re-
cognize your lawn after its
improved appearance.
When you have cut the
grass nicely you will want a
new piece of hose-rubber
hose, mind you, not merely
called rubber, but made of
rubber. We have it. After
that you want a sprinkler that
will throw the water broad
cast and give the best substl-
tute for a natural rainfall. The
California" Sprinkler is the
one to do this. We sell them.
Procure the articles we have
mentioned, water your lawn
night and morning and it will
look like a bed of emeralds.
Now is the time to improve
your garden, and we have all
the tools necessary to help you.
What do you do about spoons
for your after-dinner coffee
| We have some that will tickle
your fancy, and they're cheaper
than the cheapest.
You may not know it, but
we have the only genuine
lockwood Pottery for sale on
these islands. For decoration
it is superior to anything of the
kind made. The color gener-
ally is a dark brown, and the
vines and flowers modelled on
the pieces are as delicate as
nature. Some pieces are use
full. Chocolate jugs, smokers
sets, and small pitchers for in
stance. No two pieces alike
when one is made the mould
is destroyed. No danger OF
you neighbo, copying your
good taste.
Silverware is an odd thing
for hardware people to deal in,
but it is customary here and
we have the best-same as
everything ebe. Choice bits,
odd designs n smokers sets
and champagne holders and
the best shakers for-lemon-
AIDES we have ever SEEN. They
answer for something stronger
just as we'll.
Silver ice tongs for the table
are useful and pretty. Some
we received BY the last steam
er are rather better than the
last lot, and you're bound to
like them. Ifyou use cracked
ice at table you will find them
more CONVENIENT than a spoon
and they look better.
Engraved glass tumblers
are prettier than plain ones
and just as cleap. We have
them in many styles and sizes
and you're hard to please if
we can't suityou. We study
your wants aid seldom fail to
give satisfaction either as to

ceremonies attendant upon the ordeal of
"maling Shriner." 1t must not be inferred
from what THE HERALD has said that any per-
sonal injury can result from the experiments
TO which the candidates are subjected in trav-
cling the rugged and storm-wrecSed paths of
these ancient mysteries, nor is it necessary to
go into training to receive the degree Any
eligible man can without fear trust himself to
the gentle ministrations of 'those who know"
and will come out of it without drawing
dividend from his accident policy. The pre-
cautions which one of the candidates took on
Friday evening were therefore entirely unnec-
essary, and at this time of year an anti-colli-
sion, air-cushion rubber suit, lined with cot
ton batting, must certainly prove extremely
uncomfortable for the wearer. At the stroke
of f. G. Alexander assumed the east-that
was not the exact direction, but the cardinal
points of the compass change a little in the
Shrine assemblies-and sat in judgment on
the assemblage. In this business he was
assisted by A. B. Coolidge, who introduced
the trembling culpirts singly and alone. A.
w. johnson, who has something of reputa-
ton as q conductor, carefully punched the
coupons presented in his capacity Of Oriental
Guide, while j. II. Olcott, with the greatest
minuteness, recorded everything said or done
by the candidates and assisted DR.. Aaron
Baldwin in striking trial balance of the ex-
pensc account, Harry Standiford, who last
week obtained his majority, Il. e. thirty-three,)
assisted by E. M. Mix, kept the candidates
minds diverted with stories of Oriental life
and instructed them in the manner in which
true Shriner should conduct himself. Jesse
Grant ably assisted them with words of truth
and wisdom, while the solemn abiurgations,
which were heard from time to time descend
ing from a hidden recess of the organ loft in
laundering tones of admonition, were credited
by those who recognized the voice to the ex-
Potentate George Fl. Walker. The meeting
broke up with the usual banquet prepared by
Noble j. III. Trimble

The Patent-Leather Shoe.

1t is only within the last year or so that the
patent-leather shoe has been used to any great
extent for everyday wear. But it has grown
nightly in popular favor, and is to. day con-
sidered by well-dressed people as almost in
dispensable. Aside from the neat, finished
appearance which it lends to the weil-dressed
person, they are very durable, and are made
in great variety of styles. There is no doubt
that they will be ''the shoe'' for the coming
season, and in anticipation of the great de-
mand Messrs. Wilson & Carr, of 929 f street
northwest, have prepared for your inspection
the handsomest and most varied assortment
in this line Of footwear ever shown in Wash
ington. The patent-leather shoe is somewhat
risky at best, but its wearing qualities depend
in great measure upon the care taken of
them. Messrs. Wilson 81 Carr feel safe in as
serting that their grade of $5 patent-leather
shoes is not surpassed anywhere for the price,
and the $3.50 and $40 grades can be relied
upon as being the best obtainable. Special
attention is called to these patent-leather
goods, but they are prepared to show you a
complete stock in other lines of footwear, and
would be glad to have the opportunity of do
ing so.
