"VBUDICT OF NINK HDNUUKD" Under this title Messrs R. J.

The iirui s so well known in Cardiff and, indeed, throughout 9. South Wales and the West of England that it is hardly necessary here to well upon its influence and commanding position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense how steady is the growth aUlong the general public of a desire for aknowiedsieof music, and how increasingly numerous, even 111 the homes of the workinc Classes are mauos, oiva.ns, anrt harmouu]lus_ The errent majority ot the letters in tllJS list relate to pianos ana while manv of them have reference to most costlv instruments contaimnsr all the latest improve- ments. supplied to the well to-do, the greater Dum. ber related to serviceable instruments purchased fo: the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though iv the Principality music has for generations been the cuicf recrea.tiou of the people, it hits for the IUUSI part been choral mnsio in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- meut:11 music is now, however, receiving its fail share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that- the movement will g. steadily onward.

PROFESSIONALISM. The Meeting of the Rugby Football Union. J The agenda paper has V>een issued for the I special general meeting of the Rugby Union, enexal ii to be held on December 28 in London and contains notice of amendments to the motion* proposed by Yorkshire in opposition to the tirst circular issued by the Rugby Commit- tee. Mr. W. Cail, on behalf of the com- mittee, will move to leave out the words after "meeting," and insert, "is of opinion that the committee's revised circular truly inter- prets the powers which are vested in them under the bye-laws of this Union and the rules as to professionalism. Proposed by 1 Gloucester, and seconded by the Bristol and Stroud Clubs, "That this meeting recognises (1) the necessity of stringent steps being taken by the committee to enable them to deal effectively with cases of professionalism, and considers that they acted within their powers in passing Clauses 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of their manifesto of November 1 last, but that with regard to Clause 2 this meetine is of opinion that it is as at present worded too far reach n,, in its effect, seeing that it necessitates the punishment of 11 every offence, great or small, with expulsion, giving the committer no discretion in the matter, and this meeting suggests to the committee that this clause should be modi- tied by the substitution for that portion of it which follows the word 'ticket-holders' olders of the words 'shall at the discretion of the committee be punished either by expulsion or suspension, a.nd the permanent or tempo- rary suspension of all their members and officials and with regard to Clause 4, it is the feeling of this meeting that it effects such a. very drastic alteration in the present mode of procedure that the committee would do u-e.-I not to insist upon its adoption until it has been fully considered and approved by this meeting; (2) that the admission or otherwise of representatives of the press to meetings of the committee be Jeft entirelv to the discretion of the committee for the time being." Pronosed by P. Maud (Black- neatn), and seconded bv W. P. Carp- mael ((Barba i-i,,T,,) (I ) To leave OTTC M Resolution 1 the words after meeung and insert 'is of opinion t».at a reward of £ 20 should be paid out of ,U funds of the Union to any person or persons who shall give information leading to 1 tJe conviction of any club of offences other t;>un technical offences against the rules leiatiM- rc) oe.'s to professionalism.'

The service on Tuesday night was well attended, the sacred edifice being crowded. The Bishop opened the service by reciting foine special dedicatory collects.—An impressive ser- mon was preached by the Rev. W. M. fi Ducat, principal of Cudde-don College.—The offertory was for the building fund, "towards which about. £1.200 is still needed.—The building, as completed at present, consists of a. large girls' Sunday school 73ft.

A movable partition between the two schools allows of the whoV building being used as a church 94ft. 5in. bv 35ft., capable of holding 500 persons. It is I intended when the permanent church of St. Iranois .is built to add nine addi- tional class-rooms. The site of briiii this building and for a new c-hurch has been clven by Lord Tredegar.

CARDIFF CORPORATION STOCK. It will be seen by reference to our financial columns that, with the exception of Liverpool ) and Brighton, who recently launched redeem- able loans at the rate of 2¡ per J oent. no corporation has hitherto suc- ceeded in floating a three. per cent. redeemable loan at such high prices as Cardiff. This speaks well for tic security which the town can offer to the investing public.

POLITICAL CLUBS. Powerful Retort to Cardiff's M.P, by Dr. Treharne. On Tuesday evening a meeting under the anspices of the Splott Conservative- Association, was held at Splott Boajd Schools, under the piesidency of Dr. Treliarne (president of the I Cardiff Conservative Association). There was a large attendance. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, referred to the recent board of guardians elec- tions, and said the results had been most grati- fying to them as Conservatives, after the posi- tion which they had taken up. (Applause.) I The position that the women candidates occu- pied in the polls was a position due largely to the support and sympathy that they had received from the Conservative party in the tewn. (Applause.) Proceeding. Dr. Treharne dealt with the claim made by Sir E. J. Reed to moderation of speech. They had a keen remembrance of the virulent abuse which :'11' E. J. Reed had poured upon their heatls i'roui time to time, calling them hang-dog Tories, (and stating that they were supported by thu scum of the population; ana ¡ thev also remembered how —" JtV. ii. Smith. one of the most upright of men was-told by Sir B. J. Reed that lie was supported by the I strumpets of the Strand. ("Shame.") Sir E. j, Retd had parsed some strong criticisms on Conservative clubs in Cardiff, but he (the speaker) believed that what Mr. Robert Bird and Sir E. J. Reed were more concerned about were the politics rather than the morals of the clubs. (Applause.) If that was not so, why should working men be denied the right to have clubs? Was not Sir Edward Retd a member of the National Liberal C.ub in London and other clubs? (Applause.) E. J. Reed mean them to suppose that beer meant "booze" and champagne meant politics? (Laughter and applause.) Sir E. J. Iteed was connected with I the Central Liberal Working Men's Club. He (Dr. Treharne) had seen the balance-sheet of the Liberal Working Men s Club.a,nd,comparing it with that of the Roath Conservative Club, he found that the Sunday receipts of the lat-ier were not one-third those of the former. (Applause.) He (the speaker) would like to see the hours limited in their Conservative clubs more than they were at present—although at present they were limited. But there were no limitations with reference to the Liberal Working Men's Club—(hear, hear)—while he was told that debates, songs, and even clog dancing1 occurred there on Sundavs. (Sensation). Mr. Bird was a contributor to and in the enjoyment of a small revenue from sums of money embarked in this dub. (Hear, hear.) Conservative clubs were focus^ and centres of political activity, and this was what Mr. Robert Bird and Sir E. J. Reed objected to. (Applause.) Mr. Herbert C. Lewis, who was most cor- dially received, next addressed the meeting at lenprth 011 political and social questions;. Havinfr spoken of the interminable Home Rule ques- tion. and contended that the Unionist party was more callable of crrrvinsr out reforms in this country than their Radical opponents, Mr. Lewis touched upon the que-tions of one man one vote, triennial Parliaments, and payment of I members, and pointed out the absurdity of attempting to brine; about a universal eieht hours day. He admitted, however, there were cases if1 which State interference «hould take olaoe—the cas^s of railway men, for instance. (Applause.) What did the. Liberal party say when they were a=ked what thev were sroinsi to do? "Home Rule block« the wav—no thorousrhfare." (Laufrhter and applause. 1 The T'-nionist partv were not blocked by Home Rule, and they were prepared to take up social and domestic legislation 1'1! soon they were returned to office. (Applause.) The Unioni^t party 11ao a programme nf oon struct ion. lIe urtred them to support the Unionist partv. A vot» of thinks was Proposed to Mr. H. C. T>wi« bv Mr. Waddincrton. seconded by Mr. Oeorcrp Padfield. supported bv Air. Xirk. and carried unanimously. A similar vote wa", also a(,(,,0rrJ,1 to the chairman, on the proposi- tion of ("a,,+";1" "PnTcrov.

SCOTTISH PREMIERS. Proposed Memorials to the Earls of Bute. Aberdeen, and Rosebery. It ha-s been suggested (says the "World") that a subscription should be raised in Scot- land for the purpose of erecting a fitting memo- rial in some conspicuous part of Edinburgh in honour of the three eminent Scottish thanes who have now enjoyed the distinction of being Prime Ministers of England. John Earl of Bute. George Earl of Aberdeen, and Archibald Earl of Roseliery are certainly a leash of states- men who deserve to be remembered. Even if the project of a public memorial to them should fail-wd subscriptions are not popular in Scot- land—thev can hardly be forgotton on either side of the Tweed.

ANOTHER VACANCY. Sudden Death of Sir E. Lechmere M.P. The Press Association Evesham correspon- dent telegraphs that Sir Edward Lechmere, M.P.. died very suddenly on Tuesday t) ig-ht at Pershore. He was about to address a larsre meftinp of his constituents in the Music-hall, and was apparently in the. best nf health hefore enlcrinc the hall. He was talking, apparently in good spirits, to one of his supporters, when he fcli against the side of the table. He then IT,- sain, "I am all right. These were his last w.rds. for he almost immediately expired. The cause of death is attributed to epilepsy. The Earl of Coventry, who was to hnve presided at the meeting, announced the sad news with urr?b einction, and those present quietly dis- '^erseci.

MR. GLADSTONE'S SEAT. Somebody is Going to Find Him an i Easy One. The "World" says:—Although Mr. Glad- stone has announced that he will not again stand for Midlothian, he will, in all probability, have a seat in the next Parliament. A benevolent member of the House of Commons, I am t-ld, has fully determined that. in spite of Mr. Gladstone's neglect to invite him to become his colleague in office, he will secure Mr. Glad- stone as his colleague .in the representation of his own especial constituency at the approach- ing general election. Whether Mr. Gladstone will or will not accept, the unsolicited dis- tinction is another question. But the Steward- ship of the Chiltern Hundreds is not an official post to which he seems likely to aspire, should he be returned under such agreeable and un- expected circumstances.

A GENEROUS MASTER. Captain Otway Leaves Handsome Legacies for His Servants. By his will, dated June 6. 1890, with a codicil of the same daije, Captain illiaart John Marjonbauks Loftus Otway, of Otway Towers, Bushey, Herts, and 13, Grosvenor- souare. London, and formerly of Cwm Elan, Radnorshire, who died on the 10th of November last, aged 80 years, leaving personalty of the gross value of £ 7.161 0s. 6d., appointed as executors his son, Mr. Jocelvn Tufton i arrant, Otway and Mr. Vivian Ellis, of 5, Delahay-street, solicitor. Captain Loftus Otway bequeathed to his faith- ful housekeeper, Annie Newman. B500 a year for her life, and at her death JB100 each to her two sons: to his cook.. S^rah Ottaway, £ 250; to his head housemaid, Maria Bryant, £ 100; to his faithful servant, James Bartlett. £ -2.000; and to Edmund Henry and Vivian Ellis, as a testimony of his regard and of the long- period (more than half :1 century) of his connection with their firm, S500 each. The testator leaves in trust for his granddaughter. Georg-ina Frances Phoebe Otway. £ 10.000. and he leaves all the residue of his property to his son. The late Caritain Otway married the only daughter a,ncl heiress of General Sir Loftus Otwav. K.C.B.. and assumed the name of Otway by Royal licence in 1883.

TIN-PLATE TRADE. Another Interview with Mr. J. H Rogers. Mr. J. H. Rogers, manager of the South Wales Tin-plate Works. Llanelly. has been interviewed by a representative of the "South Wales Daily Post" upon matters relating to his works in America and his views upon the competition between this country and the I rnih.d States. At the outset. Mr. Rogers denied that the men at Gas City had accepted ,i r a reduction -.f 25 per cent., and declared that they were working at the same rate as when his company began making in America. He said that the collapse in the tin-plate trade was not- due to a falling off at the present moment of ¡ the demand for tin-plates from Wales bv America. Mr. Rogers also repudiated the insinuation that had been made that- his ulterior 1 motive in accepting a reduction of 10 per cent. from his workman in South Wales was to pro- tect- the future of the American industry, and declared it would be the height of folly to try and sacrifice their Welsh interests in order to support their small interests in America.

I PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS. The Chief Rabbi and the New Czar of Russia. Dr, Hermann Adler. the Chief Rabbi, has made a statement to a representative of Reuters Agency with regard to a paragraph in a weekly review inquiring how he (Dr. Adler) could recon- I cile the fact of his presence at the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the Czar with his former views regarding the Russian treatment of the Jews. The Chief Rabbi said, "My views have not changed in the slightest, degree. I regard the ill-treatment which my fellow religionists suffered in Russia with unabated abhorrence. Put it is neither charitable nor wise to assume that the persecutions and the oppression which took place under the reign of Alexander HI. will be permitted to continue under a new .regime. All that we know tone-bins the cha- racter of his successor and the Kropr»ss, his Majesty's warm friendship for the P'-inoe of I W ales, and the acts that have a'.ready sig- nalised his reign, encourage us in the anti- cipation that he will show clemency and uistice of all his subjects, irrespective of creed."

HIS PA GETS MAD. "I was down to the drug store this morn- ing, and saw yonr Ma buying a lot ot court- plaster, enough to make a shirt, I should think. What s she going to do with so much court-plaster?" asked the grocery man. of the bad boy, as lie came in and pulled off his boots by the stove and emptied out a lot of snow that had collected as he walked through a drift, which melted and made a. bad smell. "Oh, I guess she is going to patch Pa up so lie wiil hold water. Pa s temper got him in the worst muss you ever see last, night. If that museum was here now they would hire Pa and exhibit him as the tattooed man. I tell you. I have got too old to -lie mauled as though I was a kid. and any itian who attacks me from this out wantfe to have his peace made with the insurance -companies, and know that his calling and election is sure, because I am a bad man, and aon't vou forget it." And the boy pulled o-n his boots and looked so cross and det.psrr.tte tiiat the grocery man asked him if he 'wouldn't try a Uttle new cider. "Good heavens said the grocery m in, as t-he bov swallowed the cider, and liis face resumed his natural look, and the piratical frown disappeared with the cider, "You haTi not stabbea vour father, have you': I have feared that one thing would bring on another with you, and that you would yet be ii-ang," "x a I haven't stabbed him. it w<»s another cat tha.t stabbed him.. You see. Pa waaiUs me to do all the work around the house. The other day he bought a load of kindling wood, and told me to carry it into the basement. I have not been educated up to kindling wood, and I didn't do it. When supper time came, and Pa found that I had not carried in the kindling wood, ne had a hot box. and he told me that if that vyood was not in when he came back from the lodge, that lie would warm my jacket. Well, I tried to hire someone to carry it in, and got a man to promise to come in the morning and carry it in and take his pav In groceries, and I was gornig to buy the groceries here and have them charged, to Pa. But that- wouldn't help me out that night. I kntw when Pa came home he would search for me. So I slept in the back hall on a cot. But I didn't want Pa to have all his trouble for nothing, so I borrowed a-n old torn c-at that mv chum's old maid aunt owns, a.nd put the cat in my bed. I thought if Pa came in my room after me, and found thit by his unkindness I had changed to a torn cat, he would be sorry. That is the biggest cat you ever see, .and the worst lighter in our ward. It isn't afraid of anything, and can whip a. Newfoundland do £ quicker than you can put sand in a barrel ot sugar-. Well, about eleven o'clock I heard Pa tumble over the kindling wood, and I knew bv the remark he made, as the wood slid around under him, that there was going to be a cat figiit it-al quick. He came up to Ma's room, and sounded Ma a's to whether Hennery had re- tired to his virtuous couch. Pa is awful sarcastic when he tries to be. I could hear him take off his clothes, and hear nim say, a.s he picked up a trunk strap. 'I guess I will go up to his room and watch the smile on lus face. as he drea.mscf the angels. Iyea-ru to press him to my aching bosom.' I thought to myself, maybe you won't yearn so much directly. He come upstairs, and I could hear him breathing hard. I looked around the corner and could see he just had on his shirt and pants, and his suspenders were hanging down, and his bald head shone like a calcium light. just before it explodes-. Pa went m my room, and up t-o tHe bed, and 1 could hear him say. 'Come out here, and bring in that kindling wood, or I will start a t»re on yo-ur base-burner with this strap." And then there was a yowling such as I never heard before, and Pa said. 'Helen Blazes,' and the furniture in my 100111 began, to fall around and break. OTi, my I think Pa took the torn cat right by the neck, the way he does me, and that left all the cat's feet free to get in their work. By the way, the cat squalled as though it was being choked; I know Pa had him by the neck. I suppose the cat thought Pa was a whole flock of Newfoundland dogs, and the cat had a. record on dogs, and it kicked awful. Pa's shirt was no protection at all in a. cat fight, and the cat just walked all around Paat itomach, and Pa yelled 'Police' and 'Fire,' and 'Turn on the hose,' and he called Ma, and the cat vowled. If Pa had the presence of mind enough to have dropped the cat, or rolled it up in the mattress, it would have been all right, but a man always gets rattled in time of danger, and he held onto the cat and started down stairs' yelling murder, and me met Ma coming up. "I guess Ma's nightcap, or something, frightened the cat some more, 'cause he stabbed Ma on the night-shirt with one birui foot, and Ma said, '.Merc; on us,' and she went back, and Pa stumbled on a hand-sled that was on the stairs, and they all fell down, and the oat got away, and went down in the coal bin and vowled all night. Pa and Ma. went into their room, and I guess they annointed themselves with vaseline and Pond's extract, and I went and got into my bed, 'ca,use it w-as cold out in the hail, and the oat had warmed my bed as well as it had warmed Pa. It. was all I could do to go to sL-iep, with Pa and Ma talking all night, and tins morning I sa,me down the back stairs, and haven't been to breakfast, 'cause I don't, want to see Pa when lie is vexed. You let the man that carries in the kindling wood have six shillings wcrth of groceries, and charge them to Pa. I have passed the kindling wood period in a hOlY'. life. and have arrived a-t the coal period. I will CarTY in coal, but I draw the line at kindling wood." "Wen. vou are a cruel, bad boy," !id the grocery man, a-s he went to tha book and charged the six shillings. "Oh. I don't know. I think Pa is cruel. A man who will take a poor kitty by the neck, that hasn't done any harm, and' tries to chastise the poor thing with a trunk strap, ought to be looked after by the humane society. And if it is cruel to take a cat by the neck, how much more cruel is it to take a, boy by the neck. that had diphtehia only a. few years ag-o, and whose throat is tender. Say. I guess I will accept your invitation to take breakfast with you." and the hoy out off a piece of bologna and helped himself to the crackers, and while t.he grocery man WHe out shovelling off the snow from the s; le- wa-lk. the boy filled his pockets with raisin* and loaf sugar, and then went out to wat ;h the man carry in his kindling wood.
