I AN HONOUR TO THE LIBRARIES OF THE COUNTRY." c. CREDITABLE TO AUTHOR, ILLUSTRA- TOR, AND PUBLISHER." HANDSOMELY GOT UP PORTFOLIO OF PORTRAITS." —— ^TELSH J^JEMBERS OF Tt PARLIAMENT, MR, T. MARCHANT WILLIAMS S NEW I BOOK, ILLUSTRATED BY WILL MORGAN, THE WELL-KNOWN WELSH ARTIST AND CARICATURIST. i Imperial 4to. Printed on Highly Finished Stout Friction-glazed Paper. Handsomely bound in Cloth, Gold Embossed. Price lOs, 6d.; carriage, ls. extra, PRESS OPINIONS. The Walsh and English Press is unani- mous in its praise of this remarkable work. The following are excerpts from some of the criticisms that have already appeared :— "WESTERN MAIL." "This is no ordinary book—no mere collec- tion of platitudes, with the orthodox portraits, more or less nebulous in execution, sprinkled here and there. The Radical who loojts for an apotheosis of his idols, and the Tory who ex- pects a wholesale demolition of the Welsh Radical M.P., lock, stock, and ban-el, will be alike doomed to disappointment. The pen pictures are as true and as graphic a-s the full- length studies of Mr. Morgan, and the latter, with one or two exceptions, are beyond all praise. These are no conventional portraits, but art studies of the individuals depicted, and they give us, not merely the countenance of each man, and that admirably, but his atti- tude, his pose—there the member is on paper just as you see him in real life; in fact, no photograph, however accurate, could compare for vigour and verisimilitude with these graphic studies from the brush of Mr. Will Morean. A book that is at once a credit to author, artist, and publishers, and one that not only has immense current value, but that will be a delightful memento to future years of the position of political Wales, and of the virtues, fadings, and eccentricities of her representatives in the year of grace 1894- "SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS." "As far as the get-up is concerned, it leaves nothing to be desired. The portraits by Will Morgan, of 'Welsh Review' fame, are worthy of the reputation of the artist. The sketches abound in smart sayings and in barbed witticisms. On the whole, and (Trant- ing the standpoint of the writer, the book is fair, and deals out equal treatment There are any number of good stories in it of Welsh ooliticians which have never before been published, and the reader will carry away with him a clearer estimate of the characters of the Welsh members and a better knowledge of the inner workings of Welsh politics than he had before. We welcome the appearance of the handsome volume, not only as a credit to a Welsh publishing firm, but also as evidence of the hio-h character of the Welsh representatives of to-day." MERTHYR TIMES." "Rare lv, if evpr. has a Welsh firm turned out a work of such exquisite magnificence as this volume. The cover is a work of art. The printer has performed his part of the work in a manner that is beyond all praise. In fact the get- up of the hook would be a credit to any print- ing and publishing firm in the country. The artist also has done his work admirably. Mr. Will Morgan's form as a character artist has spread over an the land, and praise of him seems almost- superfluous. From a. mere literary point of view Mr. Marchant Wil- liams's work deserves high commendation. Inane platitudes and fulsome adulation are avoided; the style is piquant and racy. and the peculiarities of our M.P.'s are handled in a, sprightly, genial manner. There is not a dull or unreadable paragraph from start to finish." "SEREX CYMRU." "This is a particularly nice volume to look at. and will be a valuable addition to every 'W elsh family. The portraits, on the whole, are good. The descriptions by Marchant Williams are neat and comprehen- .ive. No doubt most of the honourable members will feel that the light thrown upon them is veiv strong. The work of the publishers is all that could be desired. Tie volume is a credit to them and an honour to the libraries of the country. The Welsh section of the present Parliament is too im- portant to be indifferent to this handsome and popular illustration of it. "WREXHAM ADVERTISER." "The work is admirably printed, and, al- though the political bias is strong, is credit- able to the author, illustrator, and publishers." "DAILY TELEGRAPH." "A handsomely got-up portfolio of por- traits. The artist has a bold and, on the whole, successful style, and his aim has evi- dently been to eatch, not merely the features, but the manner of the man without accentuat- ing individual peculiarities as a, caricaturist would do. As for the letterpress, if there is any serious purpose in it at all, it is concealed by a certain flippaacy, which, however, renders the book light and readable." "Y CYMRO." I "A book which we have been expecting for a leng time, and have read with avidity.. It is easy to perceive that the author's favourites are those members who ars in full sympathy with the Welsh people for there is no more faithful Nationalist than Mr. Marchant Williams.. We do not agree with all that is said in the book; indeed, we think it would tate 50 men to agree with all the statements, many of which are exceedingly original.. The volume is of historical value and interest, which will make it readable in years to come. The publishers' woTk has been most artistically done, and is worthy of the great and famous firm of Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co. A volume of such beauty, freshness, and absorbing interest to every sell by thousands." Welshman, and withal so cheap, ought to sell by thousands." "GWALIA." I "A ntw book, which is really worth buy- ing and reading. As to the pictures, which are Mr. Will Morgan's work, the artist has been so successful that he has conveyed not only the faces of the hon. members, but also the particular bodily ex- pression of each. The pictures themselves are well worth the price. The writer of the sketches is a master of his task. It would be difficult to have written them better. Once you commence reading it is difficult to lay the book aside. Deals impartially with Radical and lory, pointing out the virtues and blemishes I of the one and the other We advise our readers, especially the younger portion of them, to buy and read the book." "Y LLAN A'R DYWYSOGAETH." "The volume is an honour*to the author "Y LLAN A'R DYWYSOGAETH." "The volume is an honour*to the author and the publishers The first time in the history of the country that a similar undertaking has been taken in hand. The ability and aptitude of Mr- Marchant Williams are well known, and he has shown considerable skill and wisdom in this work of his The pictures <1150 are good and striking Messrs- ;,riiel Owen arid Co. have done their part or the work, us usual, admirably. ft is fully worth the price: indeed, one wonders that the work, so well bound and so well got up. could have been published at such a low price. "THE JOURNAL." "A large and hanrlsome volume. A well got up book, and will be most interest- :i!S in the Principality Such a book will always be popular, particularly when ornamental well."

NOTES. BY "OBSERVER." CARDIFF, Wednesday Morning. To-day is the grand finale of our "Santa Olaus" preparations, and I rejoice to see (though over-confidence is dangerous) that it looks as though the clerk of the weather were going to be propitious after all. And so he ought, and if he isn't, v- ell he ought to receive summary notice to quit, that another official, more susceptible to the promptings of mercy, may reign in his stead! But, soft! a passing cloud, suggests that he lias already noticed these sentences. Well, well, to think we have attained unto the great day at last, to think that the hour has struck, that the grand occasion for which all the ladies—bless 'em—have been toiling and contriving, aAd the staff assisting to the ut- most of it s power (yea, even down to the minutest errand hoy himself), and the kind public of Cardiff encouraging by its gifts and its words of cheer—that the hour, the grand climacteric, the supreme moment, is with us! "Santa. Claus" (lias justs been here-the picture of suppressed excitement! Her kind heart has been going forth to the little ones for many a long week, and to-day she will meet them face to face! It is her day of triumph: a triumph she gladly shares with the trusty, loyal friends who will not only stand by her to-day, amid the plaudits of the bairns, but who have helped and cheered her through the toil of the long weeks that have passed since the commencement of the prepara- tions. I mentioned the smallest errand boy, just now, and that reminds me: I saw the office- boy, Bill, this morning and asked him what bad become of his diary lately, and he smiled a sly and inky smile, as much as to say. "Don't you wish you may get it?'' But at length he informed me that he intended dotting down his impressions of to-day's feast, and if 1 can get hold of them I may put them in print for the benefit of my readers. Two letters have reached me on the subject of the Christmas closing of shops this year. I will take the smallest first. Here it is: — Dear "Observer,"—I note that a correspon- dent of yours draws attention to the fact that Messrs. Jolly and Sons, of Bristol, intend to close their establishment from Saturday night next till the following Thursday morning. He omits to explain that the above firm do what is termed a "high-class hade" and that the mê1.jority of their customers would do little, if any, shoeing 011 Christmas Eve. 1\0 medium or working-class tradesman would think for one moment of closing his place of business the day before Christmas. I would suggest, as something more practicable, that all Car- diff tradesmen should extend the holidays over Thursday, the 27th inst., and so give their assistants three clear da vs. viz., 25, 26, and 27 —Yours, &c., ROATH TRADESMAN. Dear "Observer,—I have read with great in- terest your notes upon the subject of an ex- tended < holiday this Christmas, and am very sorry to find that, up to now. your suggestions do /not- seem to have been taken up. I am afraid the action of cur county councillors in holding a market on Monday has been the means of spoiling all chances of the shop- keepers and their assistants getting the Mon- day preceding Christmas Day, and I am think- ing that if the assistants of Cardiff were only a powerful voting body, like the various trade societies, their interests in this closing ques- tion would have been better looked into by our city fathers. What object can be served by a market being held on the Monday? The work- ing claeses are all paid off on the Saturday, and all purchases they wished to make could be made on that day. They will earn no money between mid-day Saturday and the Monday. Then, again, when are the poultry, etc., to be killed to supply Monday's market? Surely our corporation do not uphold Sunday killing, when the majority of the members are so strong upon Sunday closing of public-houses, open spaces, museums, etc. ? I sincerely hope that we shall zei the Monday, but see very little probability of c an additional day's holiday. Boxing Day coming on a eWdnesday, we do not get the full benefit of a whole day for our bank holiday. Then, again, what about the assistants having to work -the extra hours on Monday (Christ- mas Eve), through our councillors declaring that day a Christmas market? Instead of the usual seven or eight o'clock, they will have to work on until eleven or twelve p.m.—a second Saturday.—I am, fcc., AN EMPLOYER WHO LIKES A HOLIDAY. December 18. At a meeting of the local lighting committee yesterday, attention was called to the necessity of lighting up a number of back lanes in various parts of the town. Really, one thinks the council should light the main streets first before it messes about the back lanes! The present position of the whole electric lighting arrangements is a standing subject for the local wits. Why dosen't some enterprising pamphleteer get to work upon the subject? He will find a wide scope for his humour, and no mistake! The moral of all this lies surely in the fact that shopkeepers and their assistants are them- selves to blame for not coming to a thorough understanding on matters affecting their com- mon interests. Once a modus vivendi were decided upon, the rest would be easy. Not only could reasonable holidays be secured, but shorter hours as well. At present there are too many peitty jealousies between shop- keeper and shopkeeper, and between shop- keepers and their assistants, and, until these can be conquered and a thorough understand- ing arrived at all round, there will be no last- ing satisfaction. The death of R. L. Stevenson re- calls the fact that he owed a portion of his popularity to a dream. Speaking of his "Jekyll and Hyde." he says:—"I had long been trying to write a story on this subject, to find a body, a vehicle, for that strong sense of man's double being which must at times come in upon and overwhelm the mind of every thinking creature. Then came one of those financial fluctuations to which (with an elegant modesty) I have hitherto referred in the third person. 1'or two days I went about racking my brains for a plot of any sort; and on the second night I dreamed the scene at the window, and- a scene afterwards split in two, in which Hyde, pursued for ome crime, took the powder and underwent the change in the presence of his pursuers. All the rest was made awake and consciously." A new form of execution has been invented, which is in every way worthy of the splendid age in which we live. Murdered Cronin was to be executed at Hartford. Connecticut, yester- day. The case (we are told) is of unusual in- terest owing to the fact that the execution is the first under the new law, by which the criminal virtually commits suicide by hanging himself. As soon as the prisoner sets foot upon the trap a small hydraulic maohine is set in operation, and in five seconds he drops from the trap and the body is precipitated below. No executioner is required. The new Act has been strongly opposed by ministers and others, who contend that the law has no right to compel a man to commit suicide. Stuff! No enlightened criminal would accept so narrow a view of oar progress and civilisa- tion
PRINCE LLYWELYN.
PRINCE LLYWELYN. Lord Bute Offers £100 Towards the Proposed Memorial. A well-attended meeting was held at Chester on Tuesday in connection with the proposed memorial to Prince Llywelyn. Lord Kenyon presided. The Marquess of Bute wrote declin- ing the presidency of the committee, owing to pressure of other duties, but offered to subscribe :8100 towards a tomb or cenotaph at Abbey Cwmhir. -On the motion of Mr. R. Rowlands (Portmadoe), seconded by Mr. Owen Edwards (Oxford), Lord Kenyon was unanimously elected president.—Lord Kenyon, in asking time to consider his decision, said it was very essential to carry the scheme through successfully, in order that the memorial might be looked upon by succeeding generations as a fitting tribute to'their last native princa (Applause.)—Vice- piesidcnts and an executive committee were appointed, with the Rev. Gwynoro Davies (Barmouth) as secretary, and Messrs. R. Rowlands and David Thomas (Builth), trea- surers.Mr. Rowlands thought their friends in London had been rather premature, and gave notice that he would move that the ques- tion of the site and monument should be re- considered at the next meeting of the general committee.Dr. Boweu Davies (Llandrindod) proposed, and Mr. Stanley Leighton, M.R. seconded, that the memorial should take the form of a Celtic cross, with an inscription.—- An amendment in favour of an obelisk to be erected on the hill near the spot where Llywelyn fell was moved by Mr. Owen Owens (Oswestry), and seconded by Mr. Rowlands.-— On a division the amendment was carried by nine to four.—The Secretary said he expected subscriptions from all parts of the world where Welshmen were to be found. The subscription was limited to a guinea and one penny, in order to make the movement thoroughly national.—Local committees will be appointed for each Welsh county, for London, Birming- ham. and the principal towns in England, and for the Colonies and the United States.

The New Councils. .
The New Councils. A REPLY TO MR. BERiAH EVANS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS Sir,I did not expect that Mr..Beriah Evans would be able to make out a strong case, but 1 scarcely anticipated such a weak one. He has succeeded after several weeks in producing one authority, and one only, ou ins side, viz., Madden's JriaudbooK. j Whether the legal profession would accept that book as the highest authority on the Local Government Act, 1894-, 1 very much doubt; it is not among the booki or the Act recom- mended by the "Law Times," or, so far as I know, by anyone qualified to express an opinion. Mr. Theodore Dodd, on the other hand, whose entirely opposite opinion 1 quoted in your columns the other day, is a recognised authority, not merely on this Act, but on all Questions of vestry and parochial law, and I fancy Mr. Evans would find that, while almost all lawyers would admit the trustworthiness of Mr..L)oddrs books on the Act, many of them would know Radon's Handbook by name only. In any case, I believe it is the fact that of the almost innumerable books that have been pub- lished on the subject (many of them written by thoroughly competent lawyers) this is the only one that supports Mr. Evans's view. (The only other possible exception that I know of is a book written on parish elections, and not on the general provisions oÍ the Act, by a gentleman who is$great authority on all election law, but not on the Act generally. I have not the book by me, so I speak only from memory). If this is not EO, I should be very glad to hear the names of the others; but if the fact is as I have stated, surely Mr. Evans is incurring a very heavy responsibility in giving the serious advioe he gives at the end of his letter on the authority of one man only against an overwhelming majority on the other side. It is to be hoped that no chairman of a parish council or a parish meeting will be so foolish as to take the course that Mr. Evans recklessly recommends and use force to effect an entrance into a vestry-room; no one can deny that when we have one authority on the one side, and a great many authorities on the other, it is, to say the least., very doubtful whether the one authority is in the right, ami if it turned out. that after all Mr. Evans and his one authority were wrong, the chairman who followed Mr. Evans's advice would probably find himaef in gaol. It is astounding that anyone occupying a respoiftible position should deliberately incite to brawling; can it be that "the cause" requires a few more manufactured martyrs vice Peggy Lewis (retired) ? I think it is not difficult to show from the Act itself that there are very good reasons for believing Mr. Evans and his authority to be wrong. I should be sorry to think that Mr. Evans would purposely misquote the Act, but the way in which he has quoted it renders him liable to grave suspicion on that score. Mr. Evans says: "Section 6 (1). of the Local Government Act, 1894, says: — "C pan the parish council of a rural parish coming into office there shall be transferred to that council the powers, duties, and liabili- ties of the vestry of the parish." And then he stops; but the sentence in the Act does not stop there; there is no stop of any sort in the Act after the word "parish." The exact words of the clause are as follows: — "6-—(1) Upon the parish council of a rural parish coming into office there shall be trans- ferred to that council (a) the powers, duties, and liabilities of the vestry of the parish ex- cept (1.) so far as relates to the affairs of the Church or to ecclesiastical charities; and (ii.) anv powers, duty, or liability transferred by this Act from the vestry to any other autho- rity." Now. sir. what is to be thought of a controversialist who, to suit his own purpose, calmly cuts a sentence in two, and ends it where he pleases? By this method of quota- tion one could prove anything. I am anxious to hear Mr. Evans's justification for what seems to be a very disingenuous method of contro- versy. The same criticism applies to Mr. Evans's quotation of Section 19 (4), and to an even greater degree, for in that ea.se Mr. Evans has deliberately omitted from the middle of the clause the important words, "except so far as they relate to the affairs of the Church. or to ecclesiastical charities, or are transferred bv this Act to any other authority." Anyone unacquainted with the Act who read Mr. Evans's letter would be led to believe that all the powers, duties, and liabilities of the vestrv are transferred to the parish meeting or parish council; indeed one is forced to. the conclusion that Mr. Evans intended to lead his readers to believe so; if so, he intended to lead them to believe what was not true. That is a very serious charge to make, no doubt, but it is very difficult to acquit Mr. Evans of both suppressio veri and a suggestio falsi. His first suppresses the fact that, in the transference of powers from the vestry to the parish council or meeting, some powers are expressly excepted, and having stated quite risrhtly that the term "powers" includes "rights" and "privile;, -es" goes on to say: "UnJess, therefore. Mr. De1J is prepared to assert that the parish vestry possessed neither the riffht nor the privilege to meet in the vestry-room or in the church as circumstances required, he must admit that the parish council or the parish meeting now possesses the 'ri<rht' and 'privilege' to meet there." Must I. indeed? The syllogism is.certainly plain enough—"the Parish council or meeting has all the powers of the vestry. One of those powers is the right of meeting in the church. Therefore, the Parish council or meeting has that i«wer.Very pretty; but, then, the parish council or meeting- has not all the powers of the vestry, and Mr. Evans, with the Act in front of him, must bave known that it hag not, and thnt ho was arguing from a false premiss. He must have known perfectly well that "powers (i.e., rights or privileges) so far as relates to the affairs of the Church," are expressly reserved to the vestry, and not trans- ferred to the parish council or meeting, and that he has to prove, in the first place, that the right of meeting in the church does not come under that category. I hold that it does. The vestry meets in the church because it was originally an ecclesiastical bodv; the civil duties and powers which have been conferred upon it by cucoessive Acts of Parliament have now been taken away from it, and it returns to its original position. The affairs connected with the Church are, as Mr. Theodore Dodd savs, not touched by the Act. and the vestrv will still continue to exist for ecclesiastical purposes. Mr. Evans's arguments would he ouite as valid in support of the contention that the power of fleeting the churchwardens is trans- ferred to the council or parish meeting as thev are in support of the contention that he ^•■hes to prove. ^hit, further, all powers (rip-hts and privi- 1/MTIJS) relating to ecclesiastical charities are also reserved to the vestry, and not transferred to the parish council or meeting. Reot'on 75 I?,) or +h", Act defines an ecclesiastical charity a-s follows:—"The expression 'ecclesiastical charity' includes a charicv the endowment wlipreof is held for sonoe one or more of the following- Purposes: "'a) for any spiritual pnr- noisp whi"h is a lenral purpose: or fb) for the h""efit of anlr snirih1" 1 person or ecclesiastical officer as «uch or (o) for use, if a. h',ildin £ > }i,« a. ohurob.

Ike., is not transferred to the parish council or parish meeting. I have alreadv maintained tT £ s portion in a previous letter to you. but Mr. Evans completely ignores the argument in his letter of this morn- ing. and does not attempt to reply to it: had he tried to reply to it. he could not have mis- quo*-pd the Act as ne ha° done. There is another consideration ",h;0h T think is even more important.

THE COAL TRADE.
THE COAL TRADE. The Proposed Revisisn of the Sliding Scale. A meeting of representatives on the wort- men's side of the sliding-seale committee was held on Tuesday at the Engineers' Institute, Cardiff. Mr. W. Abraham ("Mabon"), M.P., presided, and there were present Messrs. David Morgan, T. Richards, T. D. Isaac, D. Beynon, A. Onions, J. Morgan, Thomas Davies, Isaac Edwards, Philip George, and Lewis Miles (secretary). The meeting had been convened to consider the financial posi- tior. of the sliding-scale committee and other business relating to the workmen's side of the committee.—After a discussion on the various subjects brought forward the Secretary í1Jr. Miles) read a letter from the employers' secre- tary (Mr. W. Gascoyne Dalziel), again stating their inability to meet the workmen's repre- sentatives to discuss the revision of the sliding- scale, and, having in mind the letters that have already appeared in the press respecting delays in this matter, the following resolution was unanimously carried:—"That we, the work- men's representatives, regret that our repeated attempts to arrange a meeting with the oW11ers' representatives for the purpose of discussing proposed amendments in the agreement have hitherto proved ineffective, and must, therefore, disclaim any responsibility for any prejudicial effect this delay may have upon the trade of the district."—It was also decided to call the annual levy of 6d. per member from the col- I lieries in support of the sliding-scale committee. FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE OF MINERS. A general meeting of the South Wales colliery representatives will be held at the Park Hotel. Cardiff, on Monday, the 24th inst., at 10.30 a.m. punctual, to consider the new drafted rules prepared by the committed for the management of the proposed "Amal- gamated Society of the Colliery Workmen of the South Wales Coalfield. A report will be given of the meeting with the board of management of the Miners' Permanent Provident Society in res- pect to the money subscribed by the public tmvards the support of the widows and orphans of the Cilfynydd disaster. The ques- tion of the financial expenses of calling the conferences of this assoClation will be consi. dered by the meeting.
ANOTHER BALFOUR VICTIM,
ANOTHER BALFOUR VICTIM, Application by Manager of Ltnden and Brighton Railway. In the Chancery Division on Tuesday (before Mr. Justice Stirling) application was made by Mr. Sarle, secretary and manager of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, one of the receivers and managers of the Mersey Railway Company, to vary the chief clerk's certificate by reducing the balance found due by such re- ceivers to the sum of £6,000 on deposit and £6,080 on current account with the London General Bank, now in liquidation. It appeared Mr. Sarle was induced to accept the position of joint receiver of the Mersey Railway with Mr. Jabez Balfour, and the latter persuaded Mr. Sarle to transfer the accounts of the company to the London General Bank, which subsequently failed. It was sought by the Mersey Company to make the two receivers. Balfour and Sarle, responsible.—The Judge, whilst exonerating Mr. Sarle, said he should not give a decision as to Mr. Balfour's liability until that gentleman had answered a few questions.
A BANK SCANDAL
A BANK SCANDAL Total Overdraft of JE100,000 at a New* found land Bank. A Central News telegram from St. John's on Tuesday says :— From a report prepared by the directors of the Commercial Bank to the share- holders it has now been ascertained that four former directors of the bank are indebted to it for very lange sums. One of these gentle- men had secured advances very nearly approach- ing 600,000dols., and his assets, it is stated will not reach half that amount. It is also stated that the manager permitted overdrafts without first obtaining the sanction of the directors. One clerk in the bank manipulated the books so that -he was enabled to overdraw his account, to the amount of 30,000dols. The total overdrafts, it is stated, will amount to £100,000.
FOOTMAN SENT TO PRISON
FOOTMAN SENT TO PRISON For Attempted Fraud on Marquess Camden. At North London Sessions on Monday (before Sir P. Edlin) W. Ballard pleaded guilty to attempting to obtain from the Marquess Cam- den £50, and from Mr. G. Lavie £70, with intent to defraud. The prisoner had been foot- man to Mr. Dalton, one of the Eton school. masters, and representing himself as his son, had written to the Marquess and Mr- Lavie asking for the amounts named. The prisoner when arrested, was found to have made an appli- cation of a similar nature to Lord Hillingdon, Lord Ilcbester, Sir C. Grant, and others. Various previous convictions were proved against the prisoner, who had still six months of his term of penal servitude to undergo, and Sir P. Edlin sentenced him to eighteen aionths as a second. class misdemeanant.
