A CARDIFF "HOME" And the Children In It. MAGrSTRAfES" DECISION. Criticism at a Public Meeting. At Cardiff on Tuesday Elam Attwell (41) and Elizabeth Attwell (44) respectively pleaded guilty to charges of keeping and assisting in the management of a disorderly hou.se in Franklin-street. They were also charged that they having the custody of certain children between the ages of 4 and 16 years did unlaw- fully allow them to resort to a. disorderly house. Inspector Bingham asked that the chil- dren might be taken from their parents and sent to an industrial school. They had, he said, been kept in a filthy condition. The magistrates (Mr J. B. Fetrier. Alderman Bird, Messrs Lester Jones and James Munn) fined the man 20s, cautioned the woman, and refused to make any-order with regard to the children. .,0 A Protest. Speaking last evening at the annual meet- ing of the Cardiff Citizens' Union, Mr J. L. Griffiths said he desired to call the attention of the secretary to a case at the Cardiff Police Court that day, which had been sported in the evening papers. The case was one in which a man and woman pleaded guilty to keeping a disorderly house, he said, and, further, they had kept children there. The magistrates on the Bench had imposed a fine of 20s on the man, only cautioned the woman, and had refused to make any order for the children to be sent to an industrial school, despite the fact that Inspector Bingham said they had been kept in a filthy condition. This was the worst case he had ever seen in print. If this was the way magistrates were going to deal with crime, the sooner some- thing was done the better. The hon. secretary said that he would investigate the case.

Bus Load of Pickpockets. SMART POUCE COUP IN LONDON. Eight pickpockets were rounded up in an omnibus on Wednesday by one of the smartest police coups on record. Detective Sergeants Leach, Gerrard, Selby, and Gill were in Euston- road, in the morning, keeping observation on the gang. They noticed the men appeared to hustle Mr Mahamed Ali Atalla, an Egyptian medical student at King's College Hospital. They were apparently endeavouring to snatch his watch. The student entered a horse omni- bus, and the eight men followed. Then came the surprise. Three of the de- tectives mounted the step of the omnibus, while Detective-Sergeant Leach sprang up beside the driver and ordered him to proceed at once to Hunter-street Police Station, with the eight men bottled up inside. It was an eventful journey. The men made several attempts to escape, but the three detectives barred the narrow way. Indeed, from the be- ginning of the manoeuvre only one of the gang was lost. The eight men were brought up at Clerken- well Police Court later in the day. They were Henry Johnson, of Hoxton Charles Banfield and Percy Carter, of Hackney-road Arthur Banfield, of Hackney Frank Martin, of St. Luke's Walter Haslin, of Ware-street; Chas. Archibald, of Deptford; and Robert Chapman, of Essex-road They all pleaded guilty to being at the place mentoned for the purpose of pick- ing pockets. The officer knew us," Archibald com- plained. or he would not have taken a liberty like that." No," the magistrate replied. I don't suppose he would take an ordinary omnibus- load to Hunter-street. It is most extraordin- ary to get so many pickpockets together. I should have thought they would have been off to the races." They had no money to pay the fare," explained Detective-sergeant Leach. A week's remand was ordered.

THE RELIEF OF PAIN. There,are before the public many prepara- tions, in the form of lotions, liniments, oils, or embrocations that in some respects effect useful purposes- But it is claimed for a new preparation sold by the name of Chameleon Oil that it possesses the merits of all of these together with special qualities of its own not found in any other preparation. One of the ad- vantages of Chameleon Oil is that it sets up all conditions of renewed vitality wherever applied without being dependent on vigorous rubbing or massage. It is a remedy for a var- iety of complaints, including rheumatism, sprain, stiff or enlarged joints, bruises, for coughs and colds in the head, chilblains, chapped hands,sore throat, backache, sciatica, lumbago, asthma, headache, earache, tooth- ache, deafness, and a number of other diseases. The claims of the proprietors as to the merits of Chameleon Oil are supported by many au- thentic testimonial which they have received since the preparation has been on sale to the public, and their confidence in the merits of the oil is such that a sample bottle will be sent free to any reader on application to The Chameleon Oil Co., Ltd-, 4, Albany-courtyard, London, W.

DANGEROUS CROSSINGS. Councillor J. Stanfield, at a meeting of the Cardiff Parliamentary Committee, em- phasised the necessity fckr pushing forward the negotiations with the iliea,t Western Railway Company for the provision of bridges near the Groevenor-road and Ely crossings. The approaches to and from the Sanatorium in particular, he said, were most dangerous. Only the other evening two people coming from there had a miraculous escape from be- ing killed by the Fishguard express. The Great Western Company kept a man there to open and close the gate during the day, but he left at dusk, and the engineer of the Sana- torium had to go and see to the gates. It was decided to approach Mr Inglis, general manager of the railway company, and endeavour to effect an early arrangement on the lines previousiy indicated.

A NEW CURE FOR ECZEMA. The new discovery Cadum has astonished the medical world. Many cures of eczema and other distressing skin diseases are re- ported, and the remarkable thing in most cases is the quickness of the cure. Eczema is not a blood disease, but a skin affection. It cannot be cured by internal medicines. External treatment is absolutely meeessary. Since the introduction of Cadum eczema is now recognised as a curable disease, and that tormenting affliction has been robbed of its terrors. Cadum stops the itching at once and hegins the healing process the moment it is applied. It is also good for pimples, blotches, hives, tetter, psoriasis, acne, herpes, ulcers, scaly-skin, rash, chafings, erup- tionss sorest scabs, itching piles, etc. Of all Chemists, 7ld & 1/lh a box. 19708

CHURCH TOPICS. The Llandaff Conference. SUNDAY ATTENDANCE DECLINE Nonconformist School Methods. "CHILDREN aOiNG OVER." TILT AT THE P.8.A. Quite a variety of subjects were discussed at the Llandaff Diocesan Conference which was opened at the Cory Hall,Cardiff,on Wednesday. and some very original views were expressed as to the decline in the attendace at Sunday services. The Bishop of Llandaff, in a compre- hensive presidential address. laid emphasis on the great mistake which churchmen would make were they to stand aloof from the great questions of the day, such as Poor Law Re- form, Sunday observance, the sanctity of the marriage tie. The power wielded by the com- bination of the pleasure and the profit associ- ated with drink was such that many of thpse most keenly anxious lor the amelioration of their fellows shrank from any active persistent efforts to deal with it, and withheld their sup- port from those who, in spite of difficulties and discouragements, were endeavouring to stem the tide of evil. The marriage law was of the deepest and most far-reaching importance and bristled with difficulties, both theoretical and practical. "Seing Over to Nonconformity." The Rev. LL. M. Williams (rector of Dowlais) moving the adoption of the Sunday Schools Committee report, deprecated hap- hazard methods in the Sunday school, and the Rev. R. J. Martin, seconding, said they often talked about the tyranny of the Pharoahs in expecting the Israelites to make bricks without straw, although moulds were provided; but they did not allow even those facilities in their Sunday schools. (Laughter. and hear, hear.) If they did not move with the times the more active Nonconformists would get Church of England children. Hundreds of children in the Llandaff diocese were going over to Nonconformity because of the better methods of the Nonconformists. Even in the Llandaff diocese Nonconformity was increasing by leaps and bounds. The report was adopted. The Rev. Canon Lewis, moving the adoption of the report of the Board of Missions, com- plained of the lack of financial support. The 5,000 communicants in the diocese contributed to foreign missions less than a penny a month. There was something wrong somewhere. The report was adopted. Wild Beasts in Theological Gardens." Mr T. H. Hazell (Newport) moved that in view of the present political situation stops be taken to make known and explain the proposals for the Disendowment of the Church in Wales contained in Mr Asquith's last Bill. He said that Bill could only be stopped by united action. The Church in Wales had an income provided by her own children in the past of £269,ooa.. and Mr Asquith's Bill proposed to take away £249,000, leaving £20,000 only for the Church for the whole of Wales. Of the Llandaff diocese income of £55,000 it was proposed to take away £51,000. Such was the measure of Christian charity shown to the Church in Wales! It gave point to the story of the little girl who wrote: There are no wild beasts in England except such as are to be found in the theological gardens." (Laughter and applause.) Canon Griffiths seconded. He said he was very tired of these incessant a.ttacks on the Church. They wanted to get to work with both hands. They could not do that until they got peace, and they would not get peace until they showed they were too strong to be at- tacked. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was carried. Social Reform, Mr A. J. Harris (clerk to the Cardiff Board of Guardians) moved "that the most urgent reforms recommended by the Royal Commis- sion on the Poor Law—education for the young to a greater age and in a more practical man- ner, their discouragement from entering occu- pations which do not lead to .permanent work, the regularisation of employment, insurance against unemployment, the treatment of vagrants and the care of the feeble-minded— should be dealt with by the Government without the delay that would attend any attempt to transfer the powers of Boards of Guardians to other authorities." In the course of an excellent address, which was followed with keen interest, Mr Harris said the transfer of the duties of guardians to other authorities acting for different areas would often involve complicated adjustments between those bodies, and the interest and energy devoted to obtaining for each area the best possible terms would be most detrimental to the progress of reforms, which would inevit- ably be postponed. Canon Buckley (vice-chairman Cardiff Board of Guardiansj, seconding, said what Mr Harris did not know about Poor Law was not worth knowing. (Hear, hear.) Mr C. W. Melhuish (a member of Cardiff Board of Guardians) said the poor in Cardiff Workhouse were better off than 90 per cent. of the poor outside. The children in the scattered homes of Cardiff were better off than 90 per cent. of the children of the working classes. A friendly amendment moved by Mr F. W. Brett was lost, and the resolution carried by a large majority. Sunday Observance. Canon Buckley moved that the increasing disregard for the due observance of Sunday as the Lord's day called for strong and co- ordinated action between all sections of Christian people, and that the Bishop of Llan- daff nominate a representative committee to initiate such action. He said he did not be- lieve that Sunday Could be wholly lost as long as Christianity lived in the country, but there was a very grave danger that Sunday was being lost to a large section of the people, to whom it had become a sort of weekly bank holiday. Mr W. H. Percy Player (High Sheriff of Glamorganshire), seconding, said the Eight Hours Act required amending so as to give miners a half-holiday on Saturday, because it had been properly said that there was no way in which they could improve the observanefvof the Sabbath so effectively as by giving a half- holiday on Saturday afternoon. The Rev. Canon H. Bickersteth Otley, organising secretary Imperial Sunday Alli- ance, supported in a vigorous speech. He advised those who doubted the extent to which labour was carried on on Sundays to inquire of Mr Sam Fisher, of the Cardiff and Barry Coaltrimmers' Union, and of Mr Mat Giles, a representative of the South Wales Spelter and Nickel Workers. Councillor Walter Thomas moved an amend- ment that the word rest be eliminated from the resolution because, he said, he wished them to lay all the emphasis possible on the duty of regarding Sunday as a day of worship. Which set the better example—the man who attended an early morning celebration, went for a long walk, and spent the rest of the day on the golf links, or the man who spent the morning in bed and the afternoon at a pleasant Sunday afternoon presided over by Canon Buckley ? (Oh. ) The Rev. J. S. Longdon (Barry), seconding the amendment, said 11 o'clock was an impos- sible hour for a service for the working man and working woman. People who did not keep servants were rarely to be found in church at 11. Was it possible to get a congre- gation of any decent size at 11 o'clock ? (Yes.) He had preached-he would not say eloquently —to two people in a church with seating accommodation for 200. The fault was that the people could not attend 11 o'clock service. (No, no.) Soineone said rubbish." It was not rubbish." While the 11 o'clock service was too late for the man and woman who had toiled hard all the week 8 o'clock was too early. Tilt at the P.S.A. Councillor A. C. Kirk supported the amend- ment. He said he was told there were parishes in the diocese where there was no celebration of the Holy Communion on the Lord's Day. Whose fault was that ? It was the fault of the parson or the people—perhaps a bit of both. A visit from the bishop to inquire into the reason might do a world of good. (Applause.) It would do a great deal more good than taking the chair at a P.S.A. gathering. (Oh, oh, and cries of Order.") I have my own opinion," declared Mr Kirk. There may be some members here who know I have not been shouted down before, and I am not going to be shouted down now. Don't make any mistake. I speak with all respect. A complaint is made from this platform that Sunday observance is not what it ought to be. I ask whether P.S.A.s are cal- culated to foster observance of the Lord's Day. (" Yes," No.") I regard the P.S.A.s very, much in the nature of a sacred concert with an address put in. (Canon Buckley It is not.) Mr Kirk proceeded to complain thatt the quiet of the Sabbath was broken by bugles and bands of the Church Lads' and Boys' Brigades. The Rev. J. Gower Jones, Glyn Taff, Ponty- pridd, said the last speaker claimed he was Catholic. It would be a great thing if he dis- mayed Catholic sentiments towards his bishop •—(applause)—and to Canon Buckley. (Ap- plause. ) The Rev. W. 1. D. Mackintosh (Pont- newydd) said there was a large amount of Sunday labour which could be dispensed with, and they should emphasise that Sunday was a day of rest as well as worship. Mr de Winton, Llandaff, also supported the resolution, which was carried by 71 votes to 13. In the evening Canon Alexander preached at St. John's Church. Cardiff.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1910. A SUPREME NAVY. It is significant of the difference betewen Liberal and Tory methods that whilst the Liberal Government has pro- vided a supreme Navy and paid for it out of current finance, in accordance with Liberal policy and sound finance, the Tory party can only provide a Naval Bogey and the suggestion that a big Navy should be built on borrowed money. The current freek has provided a most striking illustration of the wide diversity of the two policies. The one is that of confidence, the other of fear and panie:-the first of sound finance and business capacity with fair taxation, the second a putting off of responsibility and the saddling of others with the burden of the hour's needs. Speaking on Monday the Chancellor of the Exchequer de- clared that so far as the Liberal Govern- ment was concerned, the Navy would be kept supreme at all costs, and the de- velopment of the Liberal Naval pro- gramme has proved that against all the I efforts of the scaremongers, seeking to C reap a party advantage at the cost of our Naval reputation. And not only are Liberals determined on maintaining a supreme Navy, but the money has been found for the new Dreadnoughts, and the system of Liberal finance in broadening the basis of taxation by a more equitable and just distribution of the burdens of Government, has made it possible to provide for all the Navy's needs. Mr MtiKenrta,speaking at Blaenavon. opposed the Tory suggestion of borrowing for the Navy. He enforced the policy of pay as you go," for the country free of an incubus of debt is stronger in the hour of trial. This is sound Liberal finance, and shoold not be departed from. It is a fine testimony to the success of the present Liberal administration of the country's affairs when the Leader of the Opposition can find no better subject for a lead to the country than a Naval scare which does not exist. Addressing a meet- ing of his supporters at Edinburgh on Wednesday, Mr Balfour b^at the big drum of the Naval scaremongers, and advised his hearers that if we could not build a sound Navy out of current finance we must borrow. The Liberal reply to that, and it was the reply of the country at the last election is that we have not only a sound Navy but that we can pay for it as we build, and the last Budget/as it is developed, will provide the current means for further strengthen- ing the Navy as the years demand it, and also provide for all demands. The folly of Na-val scares and reckless haste in building ships which rapidly become obsolete is only equalled by the demand that the future shall pay for our political panics and party organised fears and recklessness of expenditure. The Tory advice is to create a panic which has no reality in fact, and no foundation, saddle the future with the cost of the panic, and thereby weaken the position of the country by imposing on future Governments the burden of providing for the past as well as present defences.

An incident occurred at Pontypridd which is not peculiar to any town, but displays the attitude of a certain class of individuals towards any and every movement for the betterment of their offspring. The schools' medical officer told the Education Committee that since the commencement of the treatment of defective vision in the schools the officials had met with difficulty in per- suading the parentsto procure spectacles. This applied to one-half of the cases. Here we find people offered free special advice affecting the health and the efficiency of their children, which only needs the expenditure of a few pence or shillings, at most, in special cases, and they refuse to be guided by the advice. and also to take advantage of the help within their reach. To neglect a child's eyes when knowledge of defects is known, amounts to cruelty, whilst at the same time it is handicapping the children Very seriously in their life's work. To the neglect of the sight may be traced loss of pleasure, education, and suffer- ing from headaches. general lowered health, and bad temper. Not only do the Pontypridd parents—a portion of them —refuse to aid their children, but they go out of their way to visit the munici- pal officer in a spirit of annoyance. They never found it necessary to wear spectacles and neither should their children wear them." Could stupidity or ignorance go any further than this ? The more experience is gained by the medical inspection of school children, the more it becomes apparent that compulsion should follow the discovery of defects in the health of children. It is sad to think that a class of parents need to be compelled to do their first duty to their offspring.

The versatility of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is so general that it ceases to surprise us. Mr Gladstone had a reputation for the power to make an interesting speech on any subject under the sun, and his reputation on that ground was sealed after the famous exposition of the virtues of jam. Mr Lloyd George has the power to invest every speech he delivers with a peculiar interest, no matter what the subject, for he usually brings to bear upon it a lively imagination, a sympathetic attitude, and the poetry of language. The wizard's touch of eloquence makes the most matter of fact social problem glow with poetry and interest. At the City Temple this week he spoke on the poor and des- titution and the inequality of the dis- tribution of wealth, and thereby created a new interest in a subject as old as the hills, and a topic that is hammered at to the point of weariness by endless speakers on platforms and at street corners. Mr Lloyd George sees visions of happiness and better social conditions for the poor, and his politics are given force by a serious attempt to reach the ideal through practical legislation.

j The King Edward Memorial moves Alowly towards success. Conviction is being carried into the minds of all classes of the people of Wales on the desirability, nay, the necessity of an organised attack on the evil of consumption. The Car- diff conference emphasised this desir- ability for organised action, and the excellence of the scheme proposed. Mr David Davies, M.P., described the posi- tion in an earnest speech, and other speakers contributed to the elucidation of the scheme and the many points of com- mendation. The memorial, ifcarried to a practical success, will affect the health and happiness of the whole people, for it is no mere bricks and mortar scheme, but an active crusade against disease and its causes.

The effort to teach Temperance principles in the public schools has not been allowed to succeed without oppo- sition. but the day for protecting a set of interests against the common good of the people is drawing to an end. We have been pleased to note how far the idea of giving lessons on temperance in the schools of Wales has progressed. The publication of the Temperance Syllabus by the Board of Education brought to light the fact that some local education authorities had already commenced the work on their own initiative. But there is plenty of room for activity in other quarters, and the Board of Education uow gives them the lead and the sanction to do that work. The Syllabus has been published separ- ately in Welsh. Temperance education means the building up of character and the making of citizens. The work is not confined to the enforcement of the idea of abstinence from intoxicants as some of the opponents of the teaching seem to think.

MERTHYR Y.M.C.A. SPEECH BY MR D. DAVIES, M P. Bazaar in Aid of Building Fund. HUNTING MiCR0BEs7N8TEADOF LIONS Merthyr Drill Hall presented an attractive appearance on Wednesday on the occa- sion of a bazaar held in aid of the building fund of the Y.M.C.A. The bazaar will extend over three days, and yesterday it was opened by Mr David Davies, M.P., Uandinam. The cost of the new Y.M.C.A. building will exceed £7.000. of which sum about-one-half has been secured. There was a large and fashionable gathering at the inaugural ceremony, which was presided over by Colonel J. J. Jones, J.P., who said it was quite unnecessary to introduce Mr Dd. Davies, as his reputation for good work was widely known. They were all aware of the noble work which be had started—the war against consumption—and the princely manner in which he had come forward to help that movement. When the Merthyr Y.M.C.A. building was proposed, Mr Davies came for- ward in a most generous manner and gave a large sum of money to assist the movement, and his presence that day was evidence that he still continued to take an interest in the movement. Mr David Davies, M.P. Mr David Davies, M.P., on rising to declare the bazaar open, was loudly applauded. He said it gave him very great pleasure to be present, and he expressed his thanks to the committee for their kind invitation. He also thanked them for the invitation sent to Mrs Davies, who was unavoidably absent. He humorously remarked that they had con- templated a tour in East Africa. However, the national memorial came along and instead of hunting lions, we are hunting microbes." (Laughter and applause.) He congratulated the bazaar committee and those who had taken a keen interest in the movement on thesuccess which had attended their efforts. Y.M.C.A. and Territorials. They were all aware of the good work done in all parts of the country by that great insti- tution—the Y.M.C.A.—and he did not think it necessary to impress upon them the neces- sity of supporting such an excellent movement. He himself had come across the work of the Y.M.C.A. in the Territorial and Volunteer camps and had seen the efforts made ro get at the young men and interest them in the work of the Y.M.C.A. The Mayor had taken a keen and active interest in the movement since it was started, and had endeavoured to adapt the Y.M.C.A. to the special needs of the Welsh people, and he (Mr Davies) thought that the movement at Merthyr was one of the largest efforts which had been put forward by the Y.M.C.A., and he only hoped that the in- habitants of the town would respond to the appeal which was now being made, and then they would see in Merthyr not only a fine building, but a society of young men who would be a credit not only to Merthyr, but to the whole of Wales. (Applause.) Mr Davies said he desired to point out the excellent work done in connection with the movement, by the late Colonel Lewis. The Crusade against Consumption. Continuing, Mr Davies said that the chair- man had alluded to the .campaign against consumption, and this was one direction in which the Y.M.C.A. could be of great help and render assistance in the movement, which was for the welfare and prosperity and betterment of the people generally. The aims of the movement were to stamp out that great and terrible disease. Tuberculosis, and when they considered the conditions that prevailed in Wales at the present moment, which were much worse than in Scotland or England, he thought they all felt a sense of shame, almost of disgust, that such a state of things was allowed to exist. Therefore he sincerely hoped that the Y.M.C.A. would take up the question, not only in Merthyr, but all over the country. As to the form in which the Y.M.C.A. could help the movement, he suggested two ways. One was by collecting funds, and a great deal could also be done in forming Samaritan com- mittees to assist in finding out individual cases where the disease existed. Alderman D. W. Jones moved a vote of thanks to Mr Davies. Mr W. Walters seconded, and the vote was carried with accla- mation. The bazaar will be opened to-day by Lord Glanusk.

Wesley Chapel, Cardiff.—This edifice has been greatly improved by the introduction of two large gaseliers, which produce a pleasing effect by lighting the building satisfactorily. The roof has also been greatly improved. Proposed Free Library for Cardiff.—The Mayor presided at a meeting of burgesses on Tuesday evening at the Town Hall for the pur- pose of determining whether the provisions of the Public Libraries Act, 1855, shall be applied to this borough. There were not more than one hundred persons present, comprising several members of the Corporation, trades- men. and a few working men. Mr George Smart moved, and Mr C. Thompson seconded, a resolution in favour of starting a Public Library, and Mr R. Cory and others supported the proposal. By a majority of 36 to 23 it was resolved to adjourn further consideration of the matter. Hopeful Prospects at Newport—Arrange- ments are being made,it is understood,to make Newport the port for the West Midland Rail- way and to amalgamate the stations of the South Wales, the Midland, and the Monmouth- shire Eastern and Western Valleys Railways in one convenient spot. The first named fact will. it is expected, give a great stimulus to trade in the port by encouraging extensive imports for the North, and the second will be gratifying to the general community of railway travellers visiting Newport.

ENCOURAGED CRIMPING. Mr Havelock Wilson's Intentions. On Wednesday Mr J. Havelock Wilson addressed a meeting of seamen at the Docks, Cardiff. He said if the President of the Board of Trade was sympathetic to the cause of sea- men all he need do was to instruct Consuls at various foreign ports not to sanction the paying-off of crews of vessels that were going direct to home ports. There could be no justi- fication for sanctioning the paying-off of crews in the case of ships bound for Cardiff. Such paying-off encouraged crimping abroad, per- mitted extortionate fees to be charged against men at Continental ports, and flooded the home market with unemployed men. The President of the Board of Trade should also give instructions to his subordinate officers that vessels should be properly manned before they left home ports. Such was not the case at the present time. Later in the afternoon Mr Havelock Wilson left Cardiff for London, prior to going to South Shields to open his campaign. About 150 to 200 seamen, of various nationalities, marched, with a large banner flying, from the head- quarters of the Sailors and Firemen's Union at the Docks to the Great Western Station, and gave Mr Wilson a hearty send-off. In an interview with our representative Mr Havelock Wilson said he was going to South Shields to make his principal fight against the Board of Trade. He considered that the manner in which they had treated the seamen was a disgrace. Between now and Sunday he intended addressing 25 meetings, and if be secured anything like decent support he would go to the poll.

King Manuel's New Home. 11 Wood Norton, the beautiful seat of the Due d'Orleans, where King Manuel will find a home for a time, is in the heart of a district which has played a notable part' in the history of this country. Close by is the spot where, in 1265, the Barons' war was ended, and Simon de Montfort was defeated and slain, while* four centuries later the storming of Evesham by Massey, the great Governor of Gloucester, stands out as one of the most brilliant exploits of the Civil War. Wood Norton lies back from the Worcester road in an extensive park nest- ling among trees on the slope of a hill, which rises up from the banks of the Avon. Its present owner inherited it from the Due j d'Aumale, who used it for many years as a shooting lodge, then practically rebuilt it, and stocked the park with anteopes and foreign deer, To Queen Amelie it is associated with the marriage of her sister to Princg Charels of Bourbon in 1907, at which she was present, as also the King and Queen of Spain. The house is not /particuary spacious containing as it does only twenty rooms, but it is curousy rambing, with wing upon wing added to the sma English homestead which was built there two centuries ago. As the squire of Wood Norton the Due d'Orleans has never allowed it to be forgotten by the country gentry that he is, by the right of blood, the King of France, and has long made it known publicly that he desires no visits from his neighbours. He is surrounded by a little Court of old and faithful retainers, among whom the Comte de Gramont is the most illustrious.

Hurricane & Tidal Wave. HAVANA PARTLY SUBMERGED. Five Towns Reported Destroyed. Havana, Tuesday.—The cyclone abated at ten o'clock last night. The island has probably sustained the greatest material disaster in its history. The damage will, without doubt, amount in the aggregate to many millions of dollars. In addition to the great destruction of sugar and tobacco, thousands of peasants in the three western provinces have been ren- dered homeless and destitute. Owing to the loss of crops, it seems probable that the Republic may be forced to ask for interna- tional aid for the relief of the sufferers. There is reason to hope that Oriente Caina- guez and Santa Clara have escaped the great- eat fury of the storm. The losses at Havana exceed a million dollars. A square mile of the residential section is submerged. There have been few fatalities in the capital. The United States consul, who has visited the territory between Cape Antonio and Artenusa, says that tobaccorseed beds have been destroyed and the crop will not exceed ten per cent of the nor- mal. The sugar crop is less severely damaged. A rumour spread in Havana that the town had been struck by a tidal wave, and a panic ensued among a section of the populace. The Upper Parade was thronged with negroes carrying their household effects. The prisoners in the gaol, which was surrounded by water, clamourously demanded to be removed, and an armed guard was forced to hold them in check to prevent a mutiny. In the height of the storm at Havana waves cleared the ramparts of Morro Castle. Many small craft in harbour were wrecked.-Reuter. Hundreds of Lives Lost. New York, Tuesday.—The reports of a second hurricane in Cuba are confirmed, and the scanty news so far received is of an alarm- ing character. The major part of the town of Havana itself is stated to be under water to a depth of four feet, and messages telling of dis- aster are coming from pil parts of the island. According to one tel<*gTam, five towns have been destroyed. The loss of life is known to be heavy, and will probably be found to run into some hundreds.—Central News. On the Florida Coast. Jacksonville, Florida, Tuesday.—The centre of the hurricane which has been sweeping over West Indian waters is now found to be off the east coast of Florida Peninsular. Seas are sweeping clean over St. Augustine seawalL, and for several miles on the east coast the railway is flooded or has been washed away. The tele- graph office of Key West in its last message re- ported the water was pouring into the building. So far no loss of life has been announced. The damage caused to fruit trees is calculated at a moderate estimate at 1,000,000 dollars.—Reuter.
