--==:J' SWANSEA COUNCILLOR SUM- MONED. PLAINTIFF'S DISADVANTAGE OF BEING A CONTRACTOR. At Pontarda,we on Friday, D. Bees Ed- wards cla,inied X6 wasres for work done from Councillor Pen Thomas, Swansea. Mr W. G. Christians, Swansea, defended. Plaint if[ aa.id he was emgagod by defend- ant as sinker at Ownfllynfeil Pit, under an agreement made at the Hotel MetropoQe, Swansea. Mr OhTistians submitted the agreement did not come under the Act, because plaintifl was not a workmam. but a contractor. He had been engaged to repair the pit shaft, arti employed twenty "men. Plaintiff urg-cd that he was engaged as a skilled miner, and oould have done the work by day or piece work. The magistrates decided that plaintifl was a 'antra/:tor, and that therefore the claim did not come under their jurisdiction. Plain- tiff's remedy would be in the County Court, they said, A claim for £5. brought by Thog. Ediwards, was, on this account, withdrawn.

ROYAL INSTITUTION OF SOUTH WALES. ANNUAL CONVERSAZIONE AND DANCE. BRILLIANT AND WELL- ATTENDED FUNCTION AT SWANSEA. I The annual conversazione and dance ;11 connection with the Royal Institution of South Wales took place on Friday evening, and was a brilliiinl affair. The Institution lends itself to a function of this sort, the de- corations contrasting ia a pleas.ng degree with tiie otherwise sombre surroundings. The lecture halli, reading-room, library, mu- seum, etc., had undergone quite a transfor- mation, what with the deft introduction of plants and evergreens, the effective placing of pretty tapestry, etc., and the introduction of coloured lights. Add to an this a moving throng of ladies and gentlemen, all in even- ing dress, end the result was a picturesque end animated tcene. Messrs, ben Evans and Co. had done the decorations, Messrs. Parsons and Co. had supplied the plants, and the following ladies committee had carried out the flo.>al display :—Mrs. Ebenezer Davies, Mrs. E. L. Pontifex, Mrs. Trevor Owen, Mrs. Aeron Thomas, Mrs. E. A. Cleeves, Mrs. C. A. Seyier, and Mrs. David Salmon, who were assisted by Miss Wil- liams (Brunswick House) and Miss D. Arthur Daviet; (Sketty). The attendance was a little bellow that of last year, in consequence of the death of Mr. Howel Walking and Mr. Eg ward Lewis (the son of Mr. Lewis Lewis). The president, Coll. Llewelyn Morgan, R.E., was unfortunately absent through indisposi- tion—-the nrst time for many years—and in hie place the reception wa.s by Mr. Joseph HaH, J.P., and Mis. Pontifex. The guests having arrived, Mr. Hall, on behalf of the Council of the Institution, extended them a very hearty welcome. As there were a num- ber of friends present who were not mem- bers, he pointed out to them the advantages of belonging to such an excellent institution. He then hoped they would all have a very enjoyable time. DELIGHTFUL PROGRAMME ARRANGED. The programme was as delightful as it was varied. Mr. W. F. Hulley's baaid dis- coursed choice selections of music, and be- tween the dances there were scientific and other demonstrations, including the follow- ing :—Lantern views, Mr. Alex G. Moffat and Mr. P. Robertson; pond life (illustrated under microscope), Mr, David Jenkins and Mr. J. H. Morris; spectroscope and ] e- £ raotometer, Ma-. C. A. Seyier, B.Sc. mode! cf the oitfa-microtscope, Dr. G. A. Stephens B.Sc., and Mr. J. C. Kirkirran, B.Sc. microscope—vortioeJla and rotifers, Dr. H. E. Quick, B.Sc. astronomical and scientific lac-tern slides, Principal J. Trevor. Owen, M.A. a new invention described as the Electric Mary Ann," or the domestic eieotric servant, Mr. R. Borlase Matthews, Whit-Ex. Objects of interest in the museum were also described by some of the leading members of the Institution. Mr. Borlase Matthews' inventi<m afforded amusement, though it is of a very practical kind- By means of a small electric motor the rival to the human Mary Ann, who now in- habits our kitchens, is made to do no end of housework, such as mincing meat, clean- ing knives, grinding coffee polishing metal, cleaning boots and blacking the grate. The lantern views of Mr. Moffatt were of ex- ceptional interest ia that they depicted photographs taken on his recent visit to the Antipodes. One, showing the wheat stacked at WaJlaroo, Souith Australia, ought to have done the Hearts of Tariff Reformers good, as tlhey saw in it a pretty good in- dication of the wheat possibilities of our Southern Colony. By far the most interest- ing of the exhibits in the museum were the recent added will of Ann, of Swansea, and some important deeds relating, among other things, to the Friends' Mjeeting 11 ouee in High street. The most remarkable, tiling, perhaps, about the will are the mis- takes made by a literary woman—Ann, of Swansea, is known locally by her novels and verce—on literary matters. She be- queaths a number of books, etc., and Lem- priere s classical dictionary is described as Laantpders; reference is made to Scott's lyrical ballads, and these were written by Wordsworth and Coleridge, and the poet Soutbey is alluded to a6 Southeby. It is interesting to note that the value of the estate was declared to be under £1.)0) a; d the most interesting bequest reads a? fol- lows "And we devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate and effects of what nature or sort soever including my wardrobe, household furniture, plate, plated goods, glass, china, linen and trinkets unto my faithful servant, Mary Jo-lms, her heirs' executors, administrators and assigns, as a very email remuneration for her affectionate, honest, undeviating rectitude of conduct for 15 years 11 monuns and I give her my large BibLe in two volumes which I beg of her to .keep for her own use and to get it read by her very Íle- quently, that it may teach her to wit her whole trust and confidence in Christ Jesus (spelt Jeses), her Saviour," etc. The will, it may be added, was executed in December, 1838, five days before the death f (he testatrix, who, it will be recalled, was < i>e of the Kembles, and a sister, theraro.-e. 01 Mrs. Siddons. DANCING UNTIL THE WEE SMA' HOURS. Hie dance was kept np till the wee sma' hours of the morning, and a.t intervals light refreshments were taken, Mr. G. Matthews Walter-road, being the caterer.

Pniilip Davies was ordered to pay ls. 6d. a week towaads the support of his boy in the industrial School. J SCARCiiY OF JUSTICES. Great difficulty was experienced in ob- taining magistrates. It was 10.20 before Medsis. itionards and Joaets, borough magis- tiates, arrived; and borough business finished, there was again a long wait while county magistrates were hunted up. About, 11.0 p.m. litvvs reached the court that- Mr. Gordon, J.P., was cojning in ten minates, and so it turned out. LICENSING BUSINESS. The following temporary transt'ei-s were made permanent: —biiip and Castle, jilum- bles, to Morgan Hopkin; Commercial, Growerton, to Jiaary Siiepheixi; Buiah Inn, Loughor, to Dd. John. Mr. Ed. Harris submitted plans for the re-building of the Ivorites Arms, Fforesfc- fa,ch. Th-ö license of this liouse, tie ,-aid, had been referred at last Licensing ireeuaig on account of the conddtaon d the housf*, but on appeal to Quarter Sessions thev were asked to aJter it. They now proposed to turn the old house into two oofctsiges, and put up a new building alongside, which would be in every respect desirable. Mr. Morewood, architect, expiained the plans. iiiie application was lefused. Mr. Harris said he would like to know 1<) why, but tjie Chairman (Mr. Richards) said they couldn't go any further., and he had the February meeting before him. MUMBLES FITTER AND HIS CHILDREN. Harry McKay, fitter, Mumbles, was charged with neglexjting his five cbiklren.- Mr. Leeder prosecuted for the N.S.P.C.C. By this time Mr. C. H. Pericins, J.P., had also arrived, and the Bench began to be full. Inspector Arnold, N.S.P.C.C., said de- fendant was the lather of five children, ranjging from ten to one rear. By trade he was an engine fitter, but his wages now were 63 per hour, he having lost his work as^ a litter at the dyne Colliery through drink. On June 19, 1908, witness had a oomplaint, and visited the home on June 24- The children were ciean, bat poorly nourished clothing snaanty and boots prae- fcically useless, their feet on the ground. Defondant: That was when I bad been out of work for six or seven weeks. Continuing, witness said that one of the children was sickly. Food had been brought in by someone. Defendant had just begtuj work after 14 weeks' idleness. When spoken to he replied "Oh, they are all right, and seemed quite unconcerned. On July 17 witness found no improvement. Defendant was drinking. Defendant: I'm not a drunkard at all. Witness raid the Society's warning was served on defendant. There was a, s-Iight improvement. and defendant had given his wife money, but he was still dri.hiking. Lasit August he found things as bad as ever. Defendant was working at Loughor on the railway. The wife was going emit washing, find the family were dependent on her father. This Jansaary defendant's wife told him that her children were soffer- ing every day for want of food, and they had to go picking coke and firewood, while he wa.s sitting in the house. She owed 40s rent, and expected to be turned out. When she asked her husband about this he made a disgraceful suggestion to her. Witness .g.aW\ an account of defendant's earnings ia December on board the Lucania. He could have worked regularly, but did not. P.S. Davies said defendant's wife had STiSered in health from defendant's con- duct.

ASSOCIATION. 1 BRITON FERRY. The Ferry defeat by Mond on Saturday 1 to the tune of 3 to nil is accounted for by the better fo>rward piay of the Mondites, coupled with a little lu-ck. At the start the homesters went ofi with a bang, and it looked as if they intended to make a bold bid for victory, but then the Moadites woke up a-nd after their first goal they never looked back. The Ferry were only dangerous on a few occasions, aud it was hand lines on Owen Moi-gan who beat the Whole field by a mag- ni&cent run and dribble and only just failed to find the net. The ground was in an awful Blushy con- dit-km, and shooting at short range was im- po.'ssible. The first goal by Mond was the re- suit, of a lofg shot by Evans, the ball falling nicely under the bar. The other two goals were soft ones, both got from melees in front of goal. Pearson might have got one of them away at least. The passing: exhibition of the home for- wards waiS poor stuff, Harrison on the left wing especially mulling, a rather unusuaJ thing for him- The other forwards played a hard game. but were not in the same DlaAs as the visit- ing five. Bwart Wheeler, the centre half, was ever on the ball, and was a thorn in the visiting fonvard aggressive tactics., tis defence be- in^ fine. He returned to College tfaje week, so will not be avail a We any more this season. season. Peerman, at back, got his eye full of mud at the start and he did not play his usual gams; but Jach Lewis, his fellow back, was grand. his kicking being especially good. On the Mond swJe Carty, David-son and Evens struck one as formidable forwards, the former being grandly fed on the wins, and Ms centreing was straight and deaxtiy.

YSTALYFEBA. Tlie Yetalyfera Association team has sur- nri«ed even it^ nwt optimistic supporters. Swansea Villa were defeated on Sa,turctay last bv seven goal? to love. The' Vallevites had things all their own wa, the homeetecs being completely out- C*^is magnificent, win wa* hailed with This magnificent win WaÆ hailed W1th much satisfaction locally m view of the many defeats Ystalvfera have sustained in recent matches. cince the commencement of the season the team has greatly improved, and it is hoped that when the football season makes its exit the club will be high up on the League championship table.

SKET TY. Skettv last season had a glimmer of the cua but they mean to do more this year. Saturday they met St. Mary's at Hendre- foilan in the third round for the junior cup, a.nd had the honour of being the first to break that team's record. It was a. splendid achievement to win by f he Saints were handicapped by the ab- sence of Lucas, and the homesters miesed S*The latter had a domestic bereavement, and the sympathy of the players went out to him. „ Forwards both sides were evenly matched, despite the fact that the Saints played only four men. Green was in much pain with an injured knee; nevertheless he put vim into his efforts, and was a shining light, Visiting forwards played with rare dash and combination. The home halves were in usual excellent form, and their combination wit.h forwards splendid. Backs were always safe, and gave conn- dence. Saunders wae the beet. His kicks often heloed the forward attack, and proved thorns to his opponents. T. S. Davies was the better goaJie, and was ever keen as mustard, doing all that was required of him in his usual style. 'St. Mary's had a safe and reliable back in Morgan. Their halves were very nippy and re- sotrrceful, and forwards clever. Britton, their centre, was in rare fettle, and had to be carefully watched. He broke away on several occasions, but fortunately for the homesters he was unsupported.

MUMBLES. The Albion Firsts journeyed one man short to Port Talbot last Saturday. The absentee was Mark Glover, the Albion's dashing centre forward. The conditions were terrible, and the homesters had most of the play. But they failed to score, and being once caught napping, Walters scored for Mum- bl-es. It was a lucky win, though the Albions must be given every credit for the way in which they kept Port Talbot out. The Albion Seconds played St. Thomas' Church in the third round of the junior cup competition. The match took place at the Mumbles. The homesters gave a remarkably good display. And finally emerged victorious by 2 goals to 1. i. ■

But by perseverance and grit skewen advanced and eventually drew the game.

r PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION. p ARLIAMENTAR ELECTION, 1910. I 10 THE ELECTORS OF MID-GLAM- OEGAN. Gentlemen.— You are now caded upon to elect a member to represent you in Parliament. Having been invited by the Conservative Party to contest the seat, 1 beg to ask for your votes and iaduanc; at the forthcoming Election. 1 am a Tariff Reformer. Tariff Reform is the only proposal before the Country which grappies with the question of unem- ployment and wages. By means of Tariff Reform, unfair foreign competition which demoralises our trade nd turns adrirt the working-man will be stopped. The Govern- ment will be in a position to neg, tiate commercial treaties with foreign countries, 'and thus extend the markets for the pro- ducts of British labour- The underlying principle of Tariff Reform is not to decrease the amount of our Imports, but to increase the amount of our Exports, and to .mewt more articles, but in a less highly finished condition—thus also providing greater op- portunities for our people to find regular employment at good wages. To our Colonies, I desire to give prefer- ential treatment in our markets. Our Col- onies are already giving us a preference in their markets, and are prepared to extend this policy. The development of the Em- rPiTe, which will result from this policy, will mean an enormously increased Export Trade for British goods. At the present moment, we tax for rev- enue purposes food stuffs, which we do not produce in this country, viz. Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Cocoa, Chocolate, Currants, etc., and derive a revenue cf aocie ten millions of pounds a year from thi? source. I am in favour of re-arranging these taxes in such a way as to give preferential treat- ment to Colonial Corn, and without increas- ing the cost of living to any inhabitant of this country. With regard to the question of Religions Education, I am convinced that a solution of this difficulty can be found on the basis of equal justice to the various religious communities. I believe that all parents should enjoy the right to have their chil- dren educated in accordance with their own religious convictions. I am in favour of a Strong Navy, and that it should be maintained up to the "Two Power Standard" at the least. I should strongly oppose a tax on the Exports of Coal under any circumstances. I appeal to you for your support and assistance on the day of tie poll. Yours obediently; GODFREY H. WILLIAMS. AberpeTgwm, Glam. FnMlc Fotic&a. SWANSEA MUNICIPAL ELECTION, s 1910. CASTLE WARD.
