TAFF VALE RAILWAY. A STRIKE OF THE WORKMEN IS IMMINENT. At the conclusion of the railway strike at Cardiff a couple of years ago an agreement was come to between the companies and the men, one clause in which stated that the men should be guaranteed pay at the rate of 60 hours per week. This clause was worked to, and, of course, sometimes the men worked 60 hours, and sometimes that time was exceeded or not reached. During the past few weeks the train men on the Taff Vale Railway have been work- ing short time-indeed a great many hav only been at work about three days a week. On Friday notices were served to the men stating that in future the 60 hours' guarantee would be suspended, and that the men would only be paid for the time during which they were engaged at their work. This clause, at the time of its adoption, was the cause of much hard fighting during the strike, and the men consider its abolition an injustice. So strong is the feeling that a meeting will shortly be held. Several drivers gave it as their opinion that a strike was very probable.

MB. PARNELL'S MOTHER. FCUND UNCONSCIOUS ON THE ROADSIDE. A Router's telegram from Bordentown, New Jersey, on Friday says —Mrs. Parnell, the mother of the late Mr. C. S. Parnell, who has been residing near here for some time past, was found late last night lying in an uncon- scious state by the side of a fence. There were se\eial bruises on her face. which was covered with hlood, and on examination a lacerated wound was discovered on the right side of the head, from which blood was flowing. Her condition is regarded as critical. It is :inc»'r- tain whether she has been the victim of an assav.lt or whether her injuries were cavstd by a fall, but the former explanation seems {he (most ijt- I "hie. as her handbag was found l-y the side of the railway, which runs near life spofe. A pocket-book which it contained >vas found tc be missing and a number of mpers were lying scattered about. It is stated thft Mrs. Parnell had been in the habit of sit- ing the spot at night, and remaining to a late hour.

SIR CHARLES DILKE. Sir Charles Dilke delivered an address on labour politics on Friday to a meeting of Trades Union and Friendly Society representatives at Huddersfield. He discussed in considerable detail the Factory and Truck Bills. He did not believe in any of the cures for labour diffi- culties or for bad trade which had been put forward by their opponents. He attached more importance to further political reforms, as enabling workmen themselves more adequately to tell the House of Commons what they wanted. Let them press for a simple franchise, payment °f members, payment of legal election expenses, and simplification of the forms of the House of Commons.

SHREWSBURY DROWNING CASE. With reference to the suggestion contained in the report which appeared in Friday's issue ot the "Western Mail" that the brother of IJavia Davies who went to Shrewsbury to see the body of the man drowned in the Severn m:gn possibly have made a mistake in failing to identify the corpse, Thomas Davies, the brother referred to, has assured one of our l epresentatives that he is certain beyond all question that the deceased was not David Davies, so that all doubt upon this point in the minds of other persons might be safely set at rest.

Notes from London. ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. The Guards in the Park-Mr. Courtney's Fling-The Wilde Case-Professor Freeman's Life. Mr. Courtney's extraordinary indiscretion last night in baring his heart for the daws to peck at has justified to the hilt the wisdom of Parliament in not electing him Speaker. In his speech detai'ing the sorrows of a. dis- appointed candidate for the Chair he dis- played the very qualities that many members had alleged disqualified him for the Speaker- ship. Mr. Courtney's further declaration that he ia in future to pursue the career of an Independent member (meaning a member who is not to be depended on) excites hilarious mirth. It must be read in connection with his speech of the previous evening, when he approved of the Local Veto Bill. And his approval of the Veto Bill is well known to be founded on the fact that the greater num- ber of his constituents and his opponent—the M'Dougall creature—are strong Vetoists and cold-water cranks. How very dependent the very Independent Liberal can be I THE WILDE CASE. The prosecution of Oscar Wilde when re- sumed at Bow-street to-day excited extraor- dinary interest. Not the unutterable details of the evidence drew the crowd to Bow-street so much &s a. rumour which had been published that "startling developments" were to take place to-day, and that two persons in a much higher position than Wilde were to be placed in the dock. There was really no foundation for the statement. It is but the culmination of the most cruel stories that have been in circulation ever since Wilde's anest, connecting the names of two illus- trious persons with the crimes that are charged against Wilde. To-day the police authorities were able to give ample contra- diction to the rumours. The authorities declare that no further arrests have been made, nor are any contemplates. PROFESSOR FREEMAN'S LIFE. One of the most interesting biographies of the season will, I hear, be shortly published by Messrs. Macmillan and Co. I refer to "The Life and Letters of Edward A. Free- man." It is being done by the sympathetic hand of the Dean of Winchester, who was also responsible for "The Life and Letters of Dean Hook." The work will be in two volumes, with facsimiles and portraits. The memoir will take the form mainly of a, record of his literary industry and of the growth of his opinions, the essence of his articles and essays on a great variety of subjects having been extracted for the purpose. The work is undertaken at the request of Professor Free- man's family, and the correspondence will be selected from a vast number of letters which have been placed at the dean's disposal. The numerous historical allusions, references, and quotations, as well as peculiar words and names and turns of expression in which these abound, will be dealt wfbh in explanatory notes. Considering the part Professor Free- man played in the literary and general his- tory of his period, the book of his life ought to be valuable and interesting. THE DEATH DUTIES. The operation of Sir William Harcourt's death duties in reducing the dutiable value of large estates continues to be exemplified in a striking manner. The estate of Lord Aberda.re, for instance, is to be proved for £ 72,000. Everyone knotws that this is absurdly below the Liberal lord's fortune. The legacies to his younger children alone nearly reach that amount. His Welsh estates have been enormously increased in value by reason of their mineral resources, and I should think half a million would be nearer the mark than £ 72,000. The other day there was another case. The estate of a well-known county man was proved at a figure under £ 20,000. I happen to know that he was worth a quarter of a million. "THE LADIES' IDOL." Mr. Weedon Grossmith has not secured a second "Kjew Boy" in Mr. Arthur Law's latest farce, "The Ladies' Idol," yet the play is much above the average, and should move audiences to laughter at the Vaudeville for some time to oome. "The Ladiies' Idol' is Mr. G-rossmiih, a society singer, whose popularity, at its zenith when the farce opens, gradually wanes until the discovery tliat he is married, and to a skirt- dianoer, extinguishes his fame entirely. The success of last night must be attributed to the excellence of the interpretation, for very little straw was provided by the author to make the farcical bricks. Mr. Arthur Law evidently intended to create interest in a. diamond bracelet and a mythical baby, but these were the two last things the audience caned about. Mr. Weedon Grossmith's light comedy attitudes and Miss May Palfrey's vivacity and sly humour were much more to their liking. Had Mr. Grossmith been allowed to sing or Miss Palfrey to danoe the success might have been greater, but these expected features were omitted. Yet there was a general brightness—if lack of incident—in the farce, and Mr. Grossmith a.nd his newly-madle wife, Miss Palfrey, start on their joint career very promisingly. PRIMROSE DAT IN LONDON. All roads lead to Westminster to-day. It is the one day in the year when Parliament- square is the popular spot. In London a Royal progress or a State function produces a momentary crush, a. Parliamentary occa- sion is fleeting. But Primrose Day is an all-day commemoration; nay, it overlaps— last year it overlapped to the day after. This Eear it has overlapped to the day before. ast night there were crowds round the statue watching its gradual ttigirdlement with tributes of Conservatives. To-day millions have defiled in front of it. I say millions, meaning certainly more than one million. All day the square has been crowded with folk coming and going, and it is absurd to reckon them by tens of thousands when they number hundreds of thousands. To my mind, the most touching aspect was the back view of the statue, with the bent shoulders rising grandly black out of a mountain of bright yellow of the heaps of trophies strewn around it. Generally, the celebration was more unanimous and more reverent than ever. True, the shops did not go in for primrose decoration as hitherto. But the people in the streets wore the primrose more numerously than ever I have seen. In fact, only Anarchists and the dourest Radicals seemed to be without the popular flower. One saw in the streets whole families decked with primroses—fathers, mothers, children, and dog. Cabs carried them, and more than one vehicle became a veritable flower car. The clubs treated the occasion solemnly. I admired most the good taste of St. Stephen's, where I found primroses in front of the bust, of Beaconsfield, and primroses as table deco-* rations all over the club, unostentatious, but thrilling, tributes of love. ENGLAND AND NICARAGUA. Lord Rosebery came to town this after- noon to try and remove the disastrous effect produced by our ludicrously abortive ulti- matum to Nicaragua. The Premier's first effort has not been a very happy one. It. is only to send round an announcement that effect is not to be given to the ultimatum because the Government are not yet certain that 'it has reached Nicaragua. Was ever such a farce perpetrated by a sane Govern- ment? The true facts are that the ^British Government haughtily threatened Nicaragua thinking it was a cheap thing. But the United States forbade us to lift a hand against American soil, and Lord Roseberv is now engaged in tiying to escape his own ultimatum. THE OXFORD CONTEST. Sir William Harcourt's letter to the Oxfordr Liberals encouraging them with the hope of victory is one of those mistakes we long for our enemies to make when we piously echo the wish, "Ob, that mine enemy would write a book—or a. letter." Oxford is the borough from which Sir William was "chucked" in 188Q.. But that is not all. After the election Sir William was summoned, in the oounty-court for payment of a bill for flowers used in his election. And this was the frenzied politician who shortly before had been accusing his opponents of "bilking their bills." But it came to pass that Sir William had to pay for his flowers of the field, because a. just judge decided against him, and he also had to pay for his flowers of speech, for a just public also decided against him and his party.

CARDIFF UNION. THE NEW GUARDIANS AND THE OLD. A correspondent writes:—The guardians of the Cardiff Union who were elected at the close of last year may, so far as Cardiff is con- ccn.ed, be practically regarded as an entirely new body. They have now been in office for three months, and, judging fiom the way in which during that time outdoor relief has been administered, the ratepayers of Cardiff, as well as the whole union, will find the poor- rate in 'that time running up almost as rapidly as the Cardiff urban rate, and, with an exces- sive demand from the Cardiff School Board and the increase in the borough precept, the effect upon the tradesmen and the larger ratepayers of Cardiff will be rery serious. In all proba- bility another 6d. in the £ will be added to the poor-rate next time the rate is made. The oosb of outdoor relief in many towns in the oountry rarely exceeds Is. 5d. per head per week on the average-including infants. At Cardiff a rather higher :ate has been given, and for some two or three years it has averaged Is. lOd. to h lid.; but during the past three months it has leached 2s. 2d. per head per week, and there is every indication that this an ,(ll'nt will be increased. There may be special reasons why in particular cases an in- creased amount of relief should be given, but there can be no reason why the increase should b3 so great, or so continuous as to give an average iucr^.se of 5d. or 4d. per head per veek, extending over probably 3,500 oases, and continued for three months. The money expe-rded in weekly outdoor relief during the past three months for the whole union amoi'i.ted to £ 4-,263, as against £ 3.876 for the same period a of 1894, ^an increase in the three months of £ 386. and for Cardiff alone the increase was nearly £ 300, while for the remaining parts of the union, including Barry, which is almost an urban di^ tnct, the increase was only J686. No prin- ciple seeans to govern those on whom the dis- tribution of outdoor relief to the Cardiff paupers depends. In the first week of the New Year, when the number of applicants for outdoor re- lief was only eighteen in excess of the number of applicants for the same week in 1894. the amount of money distributed was JB10 10s. greater than that given in 1894. In the second week, when the number of applicants was iive less, the money distributed was £ 9 greater. In the fourth week, with 30 paupers less, the noney distributed was B14 in excess of that dis- tributed in the same week of 1894. In the fifth week, with 45 paupers less, the money spent was JB15 greater. In the seventh wesk, when the number of applicants was 91 greater, the money expended was JB55 in excess. In the eighth week, when the cumber of applicants was 151 m excess of the number in the same week of 1894, the money distributed was £ 31 gieater, but in the tenth week, when there were nearly 200 applicants in excess of those for 1894, the money distributed was only L27 greater, while in the last week of the quarter, when there were only 36 applicants for outdoor relief greater than m the .ffime week of 1894* the amount of monev distributed was JB57 greater. It ia very certain that this hap- hazard mode of distributing relief indicates favouritism or influence which led the guardians to great excess in particular cases. Alreadv outdoor relief is increasing at the rate of £ 1,200 to £ 1,500 a year, and without something to check this grow- ing tendency to favoiir individual cases outdoor relief will soon be increased by JE2,000 a year.

MORTIMER'S CROUP, COUGH AND WHOOPING COUGH MIXTUBB IMPORTANT INFORMATION! CKOUP is a disease which mostly attacks young children, and these wh? have once had it are more susceptible of it thau befo e; but this gradually wears off as they grow older. It sometimes terminates fatally v..thin twenty-four hours, although wheu death' happens it more ecmmcnly (CCUN on the fourth or fifth day. It commences usually with a slight cough, hoarseness, tna sneezing, as in a common cold, but soon succeeds a peculiar phrillness and singing of the voice as it the sound were sent through a brazen tube; then comes the dreadful and distressing hard singing, and crow ng ough, net unlike the barking of a dog. Whet, this is attended with difficulty of breathing the case calls for imme- diate attention and mcst active treatment. In this stage persons generally begin to get alaimed; but as it comes on mostly in the middle of the night it oftei proves fatal, because of the delay occasioned by waiting until the m'oming without medical aid. The Proprietor, having found liis CROUP MIXTURE so efficacious an his own fam'ly, and being blessed as a means of restoring his children repeatedly from this appalling disease, he thinks it his duty to parents to give it a greater publicity. He has had already the heartfelt gratitude of many mothers for being the means of restoring their children that were once given up. While we hear of so many deaths from Croup, what a comfort it must be to have suih a remedy ready at hand. What love can that mother have towards her child that (will not procu e for herself what has been such a blessing to others, when it can be obtaii-ed at such a trifling amount. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. In Croup, a good teaspoonful is to be taken imme- diately, and repeated every haif-hour until the child vomits (operates as an errdac), and if the symptoms will not abate in a few hours it should be given in the same way, and a flannel dipped in Spirits of Camphor applied to the throat, and wetted often. In Whooping Cough, at the ccmmenrement, a tea- spoonful every half-hour until the child vomits (oi<rates as an emetic), and a teaspoonful continued two or three times a day. In Coughs, Colds, or Sore Throats, a teaspoonful two or three time* a day. PATRONISED BY THE PUBLIC FOR OVER 60 YEARS. The following are a fsn? Irom among THOUSANDS OF GENUINE TESTIMONIALS. The Originals may be seta at the Proprietors'; any- one doubting their genuineness may, write to Addresses given. From the Right Rev. the LORD BISHOP OF SWANSEA. Dear Sir,—Our children frequently suffer from attacks of Croup, and we have always found Morti- mer's Mixture a sure and safe remedy. My wife says she would not for anything be without it in the house. Having had experience of its beneficial effects upon our children, we gladly take every oppor- tunity of re:ovnm(Tiding it to our'friends. Yours very truiy. J. SWANSEA. 66, Miskin-strest, Cardiff, Feb. 28th. 1888. To M>. W. Francis, Chemist, Carmarthen. Drar Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of the two bottles of Mortimer's Croup Mixture.

Wherever there are children at all subject to Croup it is invaluable. I firmly believe that it has on more than one occasion sa\cd the .ivea of some of my children. I am by r.o means a believer in, or an advocate of, the indiscriminate use of patent Medi- cines, but my experienc: of Mcitimer's Croup Mix- ture has been such that I feel impelled, from a sense of duty to other parents, to send you this voluntary testimony. Very faithfully yours, B. (J. EVANS. 165, Richmond-road, Cardiff. Mr. Fran -is. -Pear Si.—Please forward per return post a bottle of Mortimer's Croup Mixture. Why do you not have an agent at Cardiff? I was obliged last night to send for a medical man to attend my child, who had an attack of Croup.

I have used it for many years, and never find it fail. Yoara trulv. JOHN AARON. From the Re". J. THOMAS, Baptist Minister, Tabernúcle Villa, Carmarthen.

AND 1TONDON, pIANOFORTE AND ORGAN J^/ £ ERCHANTS, CFBOM "SOUTH WALKS DAILY NEWS," 9th JANUARY. 1894) "Verdict of Nine Hundred."—Under thi« title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardi3. pianoforte makers, organ builders. and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- tnoaiala and Press opinions relating to the quality .if lihe musical instruments supplied by them. The ilra Is M well known, in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is tiardly 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 bf Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a iesire for a knowledge of music, and how increas- ingly numerous, even in the homes of the working Masses, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums, fho great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos. and while many of them have reference to Jiast costly instruments containing all the latest Improvements, suppued to the well-to-do, the greater lumber related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an ut is music is a most favou rable sign. For though in the Principality music has for generations been the rhief recreation for the people, it has for the '/lost part been choral IDnsic in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathv with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments. U J HEATH AND SONS INVITE INSPECTION. FUIJII ITJ.USTKVi-KD LISTS AND VERDICT POST FREE.
