BEER HAWKING. UNFAIR COMPETITION WITH j' LICENSED TRADERS. Yet another crusade against beerhawhere has been instituted by the Central Board of the Metropolitan Trade Defence Societies. Various small brewers who do what is gene- rally known as a "van" trade have found their business rapidly increase since the Child Messenger Act came into operation. Little Tommy or Mary may no longer be sent for the mid-day pint of ale in a jug or oan, and the temptation to order a daily quart bottle or two from the plausible brewer's canvasser is too strong to be resisted. Unfortunately, the same brewer's oarman is not always careful to comply with the law, which provides that beer so supplied most be ordered beforehand, and the order received and booked at the brewery ere the liquor is delivered. The carman is generally paid by commission, and when Mrs. Jones receives the ale or stout she has "ordered," Mrs. Smith next door is supplied with a bottle or two without the preliminary but necessary formality of "ordering" having been complied with. In this way the brewers' vans become mere peripatetic public-houses and compete most unfairly with the licensed victualler who, having heavy licence duty, rates, taxes, &c., to pay, finds his jug and bottle business rapidly approaching the vanishing point. In prosecuting these brewers and off-licence holders, who thus violate the law, the central board and other trade defenoe associations are doing good work, not only within the Metropolitan area, but outside its boundaries; and, if their action succeeds in stamping out a practice which is distinctly oontrary, not only to the law, but'to oar English notions of fair play, the heavy expenses of the prosecutions will not have been incurred in vain.

FRANKLIN BICENTENARY. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, as Lord Rector of St. Andrews University, Philadelphia, con- ferred the degree 0( LL.D. on Miss Agnes Irwin, who is the dean of Raddiffe College and a. deeoeiuLant of Franklin. It waa the prinoipal event of the first day's celebration erf the bicentenary of Franklin's birth. Mr. Carnegie, who wore the red robe insignia of his office, called attention to the fact that St. Andrews University confecrred the same degree on Franklin in 1759, and said that this was only the fourth time in the history of St. Andrews that the university bad conferred the LL.D. on a woman. Before Mr. Oarnegie conferred the degree Sir George Howard Darwin, of Cambridge University, read an address in Latin, con- gratulating the American Philosophical Society, under whoee auspices the oelehration is being held. The address was cordially received. Similar messages were read from the Universities of Oxford, Glasgow, Edin- j burgh, and Berlin, L' Aca.da.mie des Scdencra, Paris, and hundreds of other institutions.— Reuter.

LOCAL OBITUAKY NOTICES. MR. DAVID EVANS, LLANDAFF. The large and representative gathering present at the funeral of the late Mr. David Evans, of the Eagle Foundry, Llandaff North, on Saturday testified to the deceased's popularity and the esteem in which he was held. The late Mr. Evans was well known; he had a very large circle of friends, and not only in the district in which he lived, but far outside its confines, he will be greatly missed. He possessed a breezy and genial personality, and was never appealed to in Tain to help a deserving cause. The funeral cortege started from the residence of the deceased at three o'clock, and the interment took place in the grave- yard attached to the cathedral. The coffin, which was of English oak, bore a simple inscription, and gave the age of the deceased as 69. The men employed at the foundry acted as bearers. The funeral service was held in the Lady Chapel, the Revs. Hugh Williams and J. R. Buckley omciating. The grave had been lined with moss, studied with lilies and other white flowers. A large number of beantifut floral tributes had been sent by friends and the members of the public bodies with which deceased had been associated. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. A. J: Btone, Working-street, Cardiff. MR. PHILIP T. RHYS, ABERDARE. The remains of the late Mr. Philip T. Rhys, solicitor, AbeTdare, were interred on Satur- day at Penderyn Churchyard. The fuilpral was strictly private. The mourners were: — Mr. R. J. Rhys (brother), Mr. W. Rhye Wil- liams, Cardiff (nephew); Mr. F. W. Gibbins, Neath (brother-in-law), Mr. E. J. Jones, Pon; Neath-Vaughan (brother-in-law); Dr. W. LI. Ehys, Aberdare (cousin); Mr. Tom Rhys, Aberdare (cousin), Mr. J. Fox Tellis (Ebbw Vale), and Mr. J. R. Thomas (clerk to the deceased gentleman). The cortege was joined at the ohurchyard by Major G. R. Powell (Hir- wain) and Mr. Lyn Kirkhouse (Cardiff). The coffin, which was of polished oak, with brass mountings, was covered with beautiful -wreaths. The Rev. Joseph Morgan. B.A. (vio&r of Hirwainj, conducted the burial eer- wioe. MR. WALTER E. MORGAN, CARMARTHEN. The numerous friends of Mr. Walter E. Morgan, son of Mr. George Morgan, archi- tect, King-street, Carmarthen, will learn with regret that that promising yonng St. Peter's boy died on Good Friday at the Hospital of St. John and Elizabeth, St. John's Wood, London. The deceased, who was 32 yearn of age, and the second son of a highly-respected family at Carmarthen, underwent an operation for an ulcer in the stomach on the previous Monday, and succumbed to a sudden oollapse and hemor- rhage. MRS. LLEWELYN EVANS, GORSEINON. At the West End Hotel, Gorseinon, the death occurred of Mrs. Evans, wife of Mr. Llewelyn Evans. The deceased was at one time one of the most successful singers in Wales. She was also a prominent member of Caradog's famous Crystal Palace Choir. Unoter the name of "Ehedydd Glstntawe" she delighted many Swansea audiences with her charming voice. MR. JOHN LLOYD DAVTES, HAVERFORD- WEST. The death has just occurred at Haverford- west, at the age of 69, of Mr. John Lloyd Davies, known throughout Pembrokeshire as the "Squire of Merlin's Castle." Deceased was a gentleman of ecceiftrio habits, which resulted about fourteen years ago in an inquiry being held to ascertain if he was capable of managing his affairs. A commis- sioner sat for some days at the Shire-hall, when a large number of witnesses were examined. The jury's verdict was in favour of Mr. Davies. For some time after this Mr. Davies published in the local press a series of remarkable advertisements. He was par- ticularly fond of styling himself Lord Mayor of Broad and Little Haven, a seaside resort about seven miles from Haverfordwest. Of recent years Mr. Davies spent most of his time indoors, and was seldom seen in the town. Mr. Davies waa appointed a justice of the peace for the county of Pembroke. MR. H. MILLS fTAFONWY). A veteran Welsh musician has passed away at Pontypridd in the person of Mr. H. Milia (Tafonwy). Deceased was one of the Millsee of L18inid. loes, a family of well-known literary men and musicians, but he had spent the greater portion of his life in Pontypridd. where he was some years ago practically the fore most choir conductor. He was a clever violinist, a composer of some popular Welsh glees and solos, includ- ing- "Y Teithiwr a'i Gi" and "Y Milwr Traneedig," and, in addition to leading the. chapel choirs of the Welsh Calvinistio Methodists of the town of hia adoption, he also led to victory at South Waleecietedd- fodau more than one united choir. Many years ago he was active in promot- ing the Welsh "penny reading" for which Pontypridd was at one time famous, and the concert-loving public of those days fully recognised the sterling merits and good- heartedness Off the promoter, whose services were constantly at their disposal. Two of his eons. Professor W. H. Mills, who was, and is still, we believe, in America, and Professor E. P. Mills, of Cardiff, are prominent pianists and music-teachera, while one of his daughters, Madame Mills- Reynodds, of Pontypridd, is a popular soprano, and every member of the family is more or lees musically inclined. Deceased had buried his wife some years sgo, and was so deeply affected by the loss that he never afterwards took any part in publi-c, although there are plenty of instances known of his action in doing good by stealth. He was a deacon with the Calvinistio Metho- dists, an Ivorite, and until recently a mem- ber of the Pontypridd Burial Board. He suf- fered from an attack of paralysis a few months ago, and succumbed to a subsequent attack. MR. LLEWELLYN HOWELL, ABERAVON.

In '880 Mr. Howell vacated his post at Owmfelin Works, and became a partner with Colonel D. R. David in the Taibach and Boroughs Tinplate Works at Port Talbot. This part- nership was dissolved in 1893, when Mr. Howell acquired the Argoed Collieries, which he owned and worked up to the time of his death.

Though a staunch Churchman, he held the position of president of the Mid-Glamorgan Liberal Association for many years, .and at the decease of the late Mr. C. E. M.
