BEFORE we came to Cardiff most of the trade was done in inferior types of Tea. Cardiff was known to The Trade" as a Jtlarket for common Tea. This is not very flattering, but it is true. nevertheless. CONNOISSEURS complaincd there was no ? good Tea to be had, but the public generally were content to drink the medium aud common grades then offered. Tbey could not at first appreciate the High-Class Tea which we were introducing to their notice. ALL THIS, however, is now changed, for hy selling tbe finest growths of India and Ceylon at reasonable profits we have ill a short time completely revolutionised the Tea trade in this town and district. Is it not so ? THE NUMEROUS Testimonials we get un- JL sought from our Customers, added to our constantly increasing turno1'er, lead us to conclude that our present trade, large as it is, is still in its ÍJÚancy. WITH THIS matter we would call yonr v T attention to the unapproachable value of our five specialities in Tea, at 1s. 4d., 1s. 6d., 1s. 8d., 1s. lOd" and 2s. PER POUND. These hlendø are composed of Indian and Ceylon growths, and have a unique character and flavour. SEND POSTCARD FOR TEA VAN TO CALL. PHILLIPS & CO.

To meet such deserving cases Mr. Phillips has decided to crive each week either a Pair of Socks, a Belt, or a Pair of Wristlets to the MOST DESERVING POOR PERSON who is suffering from Rheumatism, Sciatica.. or Rheu- matic Gout, and who can interest a sufficient Hum, be? of readers of this paper in their behalf.

SHALL CHIMNEY SWEEPS irJ LICENSED? This is the latest proposal. li c-mana:rr. from the vigorous and inventive mind of tradesman well known in Cardiff, who lives under the daiiy terror of having hin chimney on fire, and being a day or LVTO afterwards for the offence. Chimney sweepr, he persists, are practically unobtainable in tho town. and the fact that. there is such a dearth of them makes those who do exist supremely indifferent to the prayers of their humble peti- tioners. How -is it possible to escape the hre for a smouldering chimney when all the beseechings of the coaly-faced monarch of tha broom are in vain? Let the authorities hold him by licence, therefore, it is argued, so that if 2Q offence agains-t the bye-laws be committed, he who might hav.e prevented it be held to blame. Alas, the sweep is not the only indivi- dual to whom we free-born Britishers bow the knee in bondage. There is that Philistine, the plumber, with his supercilious and entire disregard for both your requests and your pocket, who leisurely saunters round three days after the house fra9 been flooded and causes another flood, following it up the next day with a peremptory demand) for as much noin of the realm as would furnish a princely ransom. If anybody should be licensed, surely, ha should. But he is under no obiig^'on io attend to your cistern or gas pipe, though ale various inspectors hold the householders iiable. It seems hard that tha "atepayer should iu- tubit'ct to fine when he is unable to secure the services of the only individual who can rescue him from his difficulty. The responsibilities attaching to technical trades and occupations ere at present very indistinctly åefined, and it is quite possible tlnt jp. the; dim future we may hear of the- sweep and the plumber &d a, host of oihocs being subservient to local legis- iation. But 'lF1c;1 than we must Iw ceacen't to smile and suffer, an occupation \11 which by long practice we have become adepts.

RETURN TICKETS ON TRAM- WAYS. At the half-yearly meeting of the North Merrojiolitan (London) Tramways Company, the Chairman (Mr. George Ru l^Prdson) said it had been decided, after consideration, to issue return tickets on some of the lines. The tickets might lie used for two journeys m one direction, and they were transferable. Ar, soon as the necessaTv arrangements could be effected, the system would be extended to the rest of the company's line. There were no restrictionn such as those which made a railway company's ticket invalid if not used on a certain day. -AI.

THE COMING RAILWAY RACE Next tourist season will see the railway tacing to Scotland resumed, and preparations by some of the oompanies are already being made. The Caledonian have been first in the field, the pioneer of the six new" fliers they are build- ing- having just been turned out of the work- shops. The "Dunalaetair" is the name of the new engine, and it is probably the largest loco- motive in Britain. It is of the North Eastern Company's pattern—the long "greyhound" thp boiler is murh higher set. From buffer to buffer the new "raepr" is 34ft. in length, her tank alone being 19ft. long. The "Dunalast-air'' has the ordinary size of driving wheels, 6ft. 6in., but her weight when fully watered and coaled for a "jonrnev" is 1M tons, as compared with 95 tons for l!ast summer's racer, and! 80 tons in the case of an ordinary passenger bogey locomotive. The Caledonian Railway clearly does not mean to be beaten north, of the border.

TRAVELLERS AND SECRET PROFITS. Commenting on !the Lord Chief Justice' judgment for the defendant in the Wolver- hampton oase of Price v. Fearneombe and Co., reported on Wednesday, the "Standard" say- —Every straightforward business man in tins country will hail the issue of this ease with satisfaction. It will not. of course, stamp one the yfitero of secret profits in all its ramifica- tionc. Dishonest promoters and directors rf companies —bogus and otherwise—will still pocket illicit commissions, taking their cha ve of being called' upon to account for the fnrx.l. But the emphatic declaration involved in th<» c.u:e which we are considering, that all employ-? who even tampers with illicit commissions in such a way as to injure the business standing and interests oc his principals is liable to div misixil, will ctrike an effective How at one o? the most important and active of its hydra- bead.

SNOW-SHOE TRAVELLERS' PERILS. New- has arrived of the brother;: Anv.nd 'sn, mow-shoe sportsmen, who bu-ve been missing nearly four weeks. They had been,surprised in the Hardanger Mountains by snow storms, and, their maps being incorrect-, logt their way. For three days and a half they ware totally without nourishment, the snow having covered their pro- visions, which they could not find again. The snow-^hoe travellers, Hansen, who started for America, soon arrived at Hamar. and are at pressnt on their way to Drontheim. whence they will pass through Noirland and Laplan1, to the Varanger-fiord. in Finnmarken, which they hope to reach in three months. Next they will go east into Northern Ru-sia, p-nd to the Behrings Strait, which ut usually covered with ice for eight months. Should it be open water whfcn the travellers arrive, thev will wait ti1l it freezes again. They will then travel, always on th»ir -now-shoe. tbrousrh Alaska and Bri- tish Columbia to the United States.

BRISTOL AND ITS COM- PETING PORlTS. The manager? of the Bristol Docks—a com- mittee of the Bristol Town Council—who own the whole of the dock estate of Bristol, Portis- 'head. and Avcnmouth, are considering a very important report upon port development, which has been prepared for them by Mr. Wolfe Barry. In his report Mr. Barry institutes comparisons between Bristol, Liverpool. Ply- mouth. Southampton. Manchester, and the Tyne. and comes to the cow-lus on that if the Atlantic liners are to be accommodated it may be done either by docking the river at a cost, including railways, graving dock, low-water pier, etc., of £ 2.90t).000, or by a new dock at Avonmoutli, with low-water pier. costing £ 1,628,000, or, in the third place, by alterations, at Portishead. costing, with the low-water pier, £ 1,172,000. Mr. Barry suggests that the Bristol Docks should be placed under the control of a dock trust, similar to that of the Mersey Dock < and Harbour Trust, of Liverpool. -?-

A BANKRUPTCY LAW ANOMALY. The first meeting of the creditors of J an I Field. lately residing at Stanmore-road, and carrying on business a.n a. cabinet-maker at St. I] Mary-street. Ladywood, and now residing a 1 llagley-rixid, Srnethwick, was held on Wedne-- day at the offices of the Official Receivirt- (Mr. Luke J. Sharp), who presided. Mr. Tyndall appe.ared on behalf of the mortgagees. Tho j appe.ared on behalf of the mortgagees. Tho j liabilities are estimated at £ 1.922 0s. 6d., and I, there are no available assets.—The Official ( Receiver, in his observations, stated that the bankrupt in July, 1384, took over the business* of 1H'-1' husband, Lorenzo Field, who died in that month. It had been carrier on under the management- of thé bankrupt' two sons in the < name of Lorenzo FieM. Early in 1893 oredi- ] tors were pressing, and her then solicitor, he < was informed, to whom about jB90 was due, assisted her by advancing £ 80, and subse- ] qt ently JS60. At the commencement of 1894 proceedings were threatened to recover pay- ment, and in May of that year the bankrupt executed a deed of assignment. Mr. W. N. ] Fisher was appointed trustee, but he declined: to act. The insolvency is attributed to depre- ciation in value of property. Mr. Sharp stated that the debtor's furniture was valued at £50, but the trustee under the deed had declined to act. He (Mr. Sharp) would be trustee- of the estate, but he would be unable to touch tho furniture, so that Mrs. Field would be in the happy position of l)eing a lvankrupt and enjoy- ing her assets. In some cases matters might 4 take a serious form by the trustee whose name w:is pentioned in the deed not assenting, and he had suggested that an amendment should ba made in the law to the effect that a deed should j not be registered until the trustee, whose name I Wail mentioned in the deed had exeouted it. 4

An Artisan's Hotel LORD ROWTON'S LATEST SCHEME. A- the present r-ate of progress, a dosser will become synonymous with a sybarite, if Lord Rowtoa continues to look after the luxury of the working man boarder, thinks the "Pall Mall Gazette.The "Dossers Palace," which his lordship cpenod a few ya.rs ago at Va-uxhall Cross has proved such, a signal success that next Saturday hie lordship will ctpen an estab- lishment of an even more elaborate and ambitious description. Row-ton House," as this new "dosser's"' hotel will be called, is a great building standing at the corner of King's Cross road and Calthorpe street, nearly at the back of t!he Royal Free Hospital, and over- looking the new buildings of the Parcel Poet Office, where the prison used to be. The new house was visited) on Thursday by a large number of la-dies and gentlemen interested in the movement, including the Duke aim Duch- ess of Aberoorn, and Lord and Lady George Hamilton, the Hon. Lady Jeune and Miss Hamilton, the Hon. Lady Jeune, and Miss CTemorne, Lady Minto, Lord Llandaff, Sir E. Bradford, Sir Charles Hall, M.P.. and many members of the Ix>ndon County Council and local adminustrative bodies. Nominally the Property Belongs to a. Company, but by far the greater part of the shares are held by the nobleman whom Lord Beaccnsfield had good reasons for considering the cMscreetest of private secretaries." The caipital is £ 75,000 in £'10 shares, a.nd it has been mortt carefully and economically laid out, while no money 'has been spared that, could add to the usefulness of a building which is a boon of no doubtful vaihie to the centre of London. It has a frontage of 200ft. to Galfchorpe street, and of 125fti. to King's Cross road, and it covere an area of 17,180 square feet. The facade is of pressed facing bricks relieved by pink bricks and terra ootta. The courtyard, round three sides of which it stands, is capacious and the walls here are of ivory-whi^e glazed bricks up to the top of the first-floor windows. The floors are fireproof; and, as in the Vaux- hall house, on which this is a marked advance, especial care 'has been taken with the sanitary work, inspection manholes being placed where- ever there is a change in direotion of the pipes. The lighting in the day-time is from An Abundance of Windows, every one of the 677 cubicles being provided with a window. The basement is utilised a.s a kitchen, a scullery, a larder, a service lobby, and stores, as well as an immense lavatory fitted up in the handsomest, manner, and foot and other baths, dressing-rooms, barbers' and tailors' shops, &c. All the basement and the staircases are lined with ivory-white bricks. On '.he ground floor are two dining-rooms of 4,000 feet, with seating for 376 men at a time. The walls are cream and chocolate. Near at band is a lodgers' scullery for those who choose to cook their own food, and there i" also a con- venient, room for crockery and service. There is a shop opening into both the dining and the capacious smoking-room, the area of which is 1,600ft., with sitting accommodation for 128 lodgers. A reading-room has a floor of 1,540ft., with seats at the tables for 104 men, besides armchairs. Two well-filled bookcases are pro- vided, with Cupboards for Papers and Magazines, which will be free to all. The upper floors are given up to the little rooms for sleeping. The corridors run from staircase to staircase, and the cubicles open off them. The strong partitions and doors are about 7ft. high, while the height between the cubicles is some 12in. more. In each room is a neat iron bedstead wibh spring and horsehair mattress and excellent sheets, blankets, and coverlet. There is in each room a chair and as11elf, with clothes hooks below, which cannot be reached from over the partition. Two male officials sleep on each floor, and the gas, which is abundantly provided, is under the control of one of these, while the entire supply is also capable of being governed from the superintendent's rooms on the ground floor. In case of fire there is ample hose and main protection. For each cubicle the sole charge is 6d. a night, and a room can be retained at 3s. 6d. a week. This charge includes the use of the whole of the premises. Dominoes, draughts, and chess are playable, and the implements are provided, while the only restriction is on cardfilaying.

"TRILBY." MR. TREE AND THE REPRESEN- TATION OF HIS rLAY. In the Chancery Division Justice Kckowkh heard the case of Tree v. Bowkett, which was a motion to be treated as the trial of the action by which the plaintiff, Mr..Beerbobm Iree, sought to obtain an injunction restrain- ing the defendant, the manager of t'»e Theatre Royal, Ryde, from giving ;1 represent?,rio-i of the play called "Trilby." now liemg prc- duced at the Hay-market Thc-i.tre. There wa.s also a motion to commit ?,fv. 8. Bowkett and Mr. Ellis Miller, the lessee of Breach of the Injunction. the theatre at Ryde, for breach of the in- junction granted" by Mr. Justice Han-kins during the vacation.—Mr. Tree gave evidence to show that there were partr< it], his plav, written by lain self, which were not in the original book, and they had been re-produced by t.he defendant in this action.—This state- ment was: corroborated by other witnesses. who in particular agreed' that the prayer scene produced by the defendant was as nearly as possible the same as it appeared in the Haymarket production.—Mr. Sidney Bowkett, the defendant, said he was a dramatic author, and that he obtained his version of the plav A Gross Infringement. from the American Dramatic Manuscript Agency, 20, Austin-street, Chicago. The copy he obtained M as blurred, and he attended at the Haymarket twice to remedy the de- fects and study Mr. Tree's rendering of "Svengali." He maintained that he did not copy Mr. Tree's language, though he ad- mitted he used the words put in the mouth of "Svengali." "I need no God; I am Sven- gali." &c.—His Lordship held that Mr. Bow- kett's play was a gross infringement, but. as Mr. Tree had disposed of the exclusive right of production of his play for a year, he was not the right plaintiff. The action, there- fore, failed.

Wil- kins Mr. Bargreave Deane applied, ex-parte, for leave to give notice of application ior a new trial, or re-hearing, notwithstanding that time had elapsed.

Arthur Carrez, fine art publisher, Cran- borne-street, Soho, was charged on remand at North London, with having conspired with Emale de Coster to obtain possession of No. 1, Hillside-road, Stamford-hill.—Last week it was stated that the police had traced De Coster to a house at Fulham. When the officers arrived Ward went to the rear to pre- vent a a escape, while BOM-en knocked at the front door. At the same time a boy came to the door with a basket of dogs' meat. It was accidental that the bov should arrive st this moment, but very fortunate, as the officers had been informed that the hall was protected by an enormous boarhound. The officer took the dogs' meat from the boy's hand. The moment the door was opened the dog ran towards the officer, who adroitly put the meat into his open ja.ws and shut the brute outside. He then asked the woman who had come to the door if De Coster lived there, and she replied that he did not. Search was made. and De Coster wa03 found in one of the bedrooms, apparently very ill. The divisional surgeon certified that he was' too ill to be moved,and the detectives reluctantly left him in charge of two constables—one in the bedroom and the other outside the house. —Mr. Colbeck now announced that, in spite of these precautions, De Coster had effected his escape. It was stated that the policemen had been drugged.—A remand was granted in order that the police might re-arrest De Coster. -?

KING PREMPEH. VIEWS THE SEA WITH BLANK ASTONISHMENT. A dispatch from Reuter's agent at Cape Coast Castle says —King J'rempah is on board H.M.S. Racoon to be taken to Elmina. Notwithstanding the early hour at which the embarkation of the prisoners on board the Racoon took place, the beach was crowded with a dense throng of natives, who shouted and sang. and altogether made a tremendous din a-s Prempeh and his companions were brought, down tc the shore.

Lone before she started away many of the Ashanti prisoners, most of whom had pre- served a most stolid demeanour on corning on board, were Painfully Sea-sick.
