HBH 1890 June 7 local news one Mr PUFLETT-local manager of the Union company Mr J C PORTER is at present staying at the Masonic Hotel and informs us that the New Zealand Graphic is having tremendous sales, the whole of the first orders having been fully subscribed. The Napier licensing committee met yesterday and all the applications for renewals and transfers of licenses ere granted. Inspector KIELY reported that he had no complaints to make against any of the licensed houses in the borough. On the application of Mr P GORMAN, president of the Licensed Victuallers' Association, it was agreed to allow the hotels to extinguish their outside lamps at 12.30 o'clock, as had been the practice for two years. The mission service in the Cathedral last night was well attended with a large congregation present to hear the Rev. G.C. GRUBB deliver a powerful address.

The Grand Master of the New Zealand Constitution of Freemasons has called an emergency meeting of the members of Scinde Lodge for the purpose of electing a W.M. Under the Irish Constitution under which the Liege Scinde is working and though it has joined the New Zealand Constitution, no member can be elected to the office of W.M. three times in succession. Bro. J E PROVIS, was, however, elected for the third time last May, an impression prevailing that because the Lodge had severed its connection with the Irish constitution it could elect Bro PROVIS as the first W.M., under the NZ Constitution Received from Mr MOUNTFORT (the patentee of the "cold vacuum process" of preserving butter), a tin of butter which was sealed several months ago.

HBH 1890 June 7 Father DAMIEN of MOLOKAI Some time after the death of Father DAMIEN, of MOLOKAI, the Rev Dr HYDE addressed a letter to the Rev H B GAGE, which was published by a section of the Press, asserting that Father Damien was totally unworthy of any laudation, and describing him as a man coarse, dirty, head-strong, and bigoted. The letter then went to insinuate that Father Damien had contracted the leprosy from which he died through immoral conduct. Mr Robert Louis STEVENSON, the celebrated novelist, has published a letter in defence of Father Damien, which is perhaps one of the most artistic and brilliant literary efforts of Mr STEVENSON. His defence of the man he esteemed is most powerful. He first promises that after having read Dr. HYDE'S letter he felt himself inspired to reply. He contrasts Father Damien and Dr Hyde much to the disadvantage of the latter. He then gives an insight to the home of lepers which he visited, and next, at some length pourtrays the character of Father Damien. ......more.
