Miscellaneous articles on the same page:

The retiring Coadjutor-Bishop of Cape Town arrived in Worcester recently on his way to Heidelberg. He gave a farewell address to a good congregation of members of the Worcester Women’s Missionary Association in St. James’s Church at night, and, among other things, asked them to use their influence to break down the unreasonable prejudice in people’s minds about missions to the natives. They should also try to influence public library committees to have some good sound works on missionary enterprise placed on the shelves.

The hearing was concluded at Lourenco Marques recently of a case which occurred more than three years ago in connection with the disappearance of the contract books of the Municipality. It seems that a man named Machado, who is at present a part proprietor in the newspaper Diario de Noticias, was then a member of the butchers’ ring, holding many stalls in the Municipal Market, and according to a confession of the other accused, named Martins, he had conspired with the latter that the books should disappear. The Court sentenced the first named to four years’ banishment, and the latter to a period of three years, in addition to which small fines were imposed. An appeal against the judgment of the Court was noted.

Regards.
