ANNUAL NEW ZEALAND DINNER PROVES
INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE EVENT
Duke of Marlborough
Is the Guest of
Honor.

The British Australian of London. in
its issue of June 80, gives a full and
interesting report of the annual New
Zealand dinner" held on June % in
that city at the Trocadero restaurant.
There was a large and distinctly rep
resentative gathering of New Zealand
ers and a number of distinguished
guests, among whom were the Duke
OF Marlborough, Under Secretary of
State for the Colonies, and the Earl of
Glasgow, formerly Governor of New
Zealand. The Hon. w. Pember
Reeves, agent general and chairman of
the committee, received the guests on
entering and presided at the table at
which were seated over 200 persons.
With the Duke of Marlborough as
practically the guest of the evening the
chairman made a new departure in the
toast list and instead of giving "The
Colony of New Zealand" as usual, left
that toast to the Under Secretary for
the Colonies and replied to it himself
in an Incompatible manner, without
introducing any subject Of a contro-
versial character.
The usual loyal toasts were proposed
by the chairman and enthusiastically
responded to. All of the speeches were
commercially brief and the formal pro-
ceedings were over by 10 o'clock. This
gave the company ample opportunity
for exchanging views ana indulging in
"reminiscences.
The Hon. H. F. Wigram, mem
Der of the New Zealand legislative
Council, gave the toast, The Imperial
Forces of the Empire" and referred
to the part which New Zealand took
in the Boer war, when she supplied no
less than ten contingents-a larger
number in proportion to the population
probably than any other colony of the
empire. The increase in the subsidy
for the British navy, he said, 'indicat-
ed the sympathy of the colony with the
imperial forces, while the preferential
tariff in favor of British goods showed
a desire to meet the mother country"
Mr.. Wigram was followed by the
Earl of Glasgow, who said: THE mag
nificent way in which New Zealand
came to our assistance would never be
forgotten"

ing THE Colony of New Zealand"

GAS AFFAIRS
UNDER DEBATE
Members of the Pacific
Coast Association Begin
a Three Days Convention
PAPERS ARE SUBMITTED
Business Will Occupy Two
Days and the Third Will
Be Spent in Sightseeing

The first day of the twelfth annual
meeting of the Pacific Coast Gas AS
sociation began at Mechanics Insti-
tute, 81 Post street. yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock. The hall was tastefully
decorated and the walls were hung
with pictures of the associations for
mer presidents. The convention will
last three days. Night meetings will
be held.
At the morning session the ordinary
business Of the association was trans
acted. The report of the treasurer
showed that the organization was in a
flourishing condition. The princi-
pal features of the session were
the election of ffty-four new
members and an address by
the president, w. A. Aldrich, on the
growth of the gas question during the
last fifty years, the operation of gas
engines in large units. the labor ques-
ton and it's solution. President Aid
rich holds that the only way to over
come the present antipathy between
capital and labor and the elimination
of strikes is to give employees a share
of the profits according to the efficiency
shown by the workmen.
The afternoon session was occupied
in listening to an address by E. c.
Jones on Pressure Points" Mr.. Jones
dwelt on the differences in piping, the
required pressurs for the operation of
gas engines and the safety devices to
prevent the escape Of gas in the event
of light being blown out while at low
pressure. At the finish of Mr.. Jones
address the members began an active
discussion of the several topics touched
upon. The rest of the afternoon was
taken up in listening to a review Of
gas history by T. r. Parker.
After deciding to hold meetings at
night the association was informed
that Professor Edward Booth, who
was to have lectured on ''Radium," was
i'll and could not be present. There
upon 1t was decided not to meet until
to-day at 10 o'clock.

General Manager Chapman and Su-

Commissioners of Public Works
Schmitz and Maestretu relative to a
formal request made by the board
that the corporation begin the work of

They acknowledged that there was
much Of this work to do and expressed
a desire that most of it be done before

The Supervisors Printing Commit

Board to print the names of its mem
beS on the pamphlet about to be is
sued, entitled Health Hints for the
Household Deputy Health officer
Levy appeared before the committee
yesterday and said that the pamphlets
were printed, but the board desired
to print on the cover thereof the
names of the members. The commit
tee cited the charter, which prohibits
the names of city officials on station
cry, and also objected because it
would in effect be an advertisement
of the doctors on the board. The com
mittee was inclined to permit the
name of Health officer Ragan to ap-
pear on the pamphlet, but Levy in
sisted that all the names be printed.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the committee, which will
render it's decision to-day.
Levy said that it was intended to
distribute copies of the pamphlet to
the pupils of the public schools on the
opening day next Monday for presen-
tation TO their parents. One hundred

An old cherished superstition about
the prairie dog is thus ruthlessly
brushed aside in the American Natural
History by William L. Hornaday:
1t is not true that the prairie dog
lives in peace and harmony in the same
burrow with the rattlesnake and bur-
rowing owl. The snakes would make
short work of the young prairie dogs,
and the latter would quickly kill the
owl! 1t is safe to surmise that when
a deadly and quarrelsome RATHER in
vades the home of q prairie dog fam
lily the latter speedily seeks a home
elsewhere. The burrowing owl is in
the habit OF taking refuge in abandon
ed burrows and nesting in them to save
the labor of digging a burrow for it.
self. In the Philadelphia Geological
garden Mr. A. E. Brown once tried the
experiment Of associating burrowing
owls and prairie dogs. The owls were
Immediately killed and torn to pieces

How the Mails Are Robbed.

There is a vast number of employees
in the postoffice department, yet only
about 400 cases of rifing the mails are
discovered in the course of year. It
is so easy to open and reseal letters
that it is a wonder there are not thou
sands of cases. Their fewness speaks
volumes for the honesty of the men
in the service. Here is the method Of
the expert in opening letters: Place the
envelope, address, down. upon piece
Of dry plotting paper. Then lay a
piece of wet blotting paper upon the
sealed flap and allow it to remain there
under pressure Of book or something
for a few minutes. This moistens the
mucilage, and the flap may be lifted
without injury by rolling cedar pen
Gil beneath it. The contents being ex-
tracted, press the flap back with the
dry blotting paper, and nobody can
possibly detect the robbery. The only
safeguard is sealing waX.-New York

why Birds Are Easily Poisoned.

Birds seem to have no discrimination
whatever in regard to poisons, proba-
bly, because they have no sense and
swallow their food without masticating
it. They are terrified to paralysis by
the appearance of poisonous snake,
unless the terror be due to dread of the
appearance of the serpent rather than
to an inherited knowledge of its ven
omous power, but such intelligent birds
as rocks will pick up and eat poisoned
grain, and crows and ravens readily
eat poisoned eggs or meat. Chickens
will eat the poisonous seeds of labur-
mum and die from it's effects. Wheth-
er birds such as tits and greentinches
ever do so does not seem to be known.
But wild birds are frequently found
dying in gardens, though apparently
they have been in good health few
hours before, and their death may be
due to the consumption Of poisonous
seeds-London Spectator.

could not insert a review Of Bells and
