MERTHYR TRADERS. The 32nd annual meeting of the Merthyr Chamber of Trade was held at the Bush Hotel on Tuesday, Dr. W. A. Jones, the retiring president, being in the chair. It was reported that the Post Office authorities at Cheltenham could not see their way to change the time of the mail from 8.40 to 8.30, and the matter was left in abeyance. Mr N. Moss moved that the Taff Vale Railway Co. be asked to run their workmen's trains to and from Merthyr instead of Pentrebach. This was agreed to. Th retir- ing President moved that Mr Henry Owen, vice-president, be elected to the chair for the ensuing year, and this was carried unani- # mously. Mr R. T. Jones was elected vice- president. The annual report stated that while, so far as actual results were concerned, there might not be much to show, yet there had been a considerable amount of continued attention given to matters which it was hoped might bear fruit. Regarding railway facilities the report stated that in the case of the Great Western Railway the Chamber was taking joint action with the Corporation, and was at the moment only waiting for a joint meeting. The Chamber was assured, however, that the matter would not be allowed to be shelved. If nothing came of the arrangements it would be the duty of the Council of the Chamber to take the matter up independently of any other body.

It disorganises the functions of nutrition, impoverishes the blood, enfeebles the nervous system, and, indeed, quite banishes happiness. This is a mere commonplace, of course, and belongs to the A.B.C. of pathology, and yet there are hundreds of people who, day in and day out, ignore the truth of it by disre- garding symptoms which point to the ex- istence of digestive trouble. The reason of this lies in the fact that indigestion is, as a rule, so very insidious in its progress. Some of its forms are not accompanied by positive pain, but often by a gradual and unsuspected diminution of vitalitv. Loss of appetite, which is one of the commonest symptoms, is rarely taken very seriously— with the result that the disorder is allowed todevelop to an alarming and sometimes to an ineradicable extent. Even when head- aches and the pangs of dyspepsia are ex- perienced it is usual to endure them with- out making any serious attempt to destroy the root cause of the trouble, in view, then, of the far-reaching effects of indi- gestion, yon should never forget that it is TO BE AVERTED BY JJ EE CHAM'S pILLS.

THE QUESTtON OF JJEALTH This is a matter which concerns you surely at one time or another, eape- ciaJlywhen Influenza is so prevalent as it is just now. It is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, to combat ib whilst under its baleful influence, and particulraly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous complaints. GWILYM -g VANS' QUININE JJITTERS is acknowledged by all who have given it a fair trial to be the best specific remedy for dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a Prepara- tion skilfully prepared with Quinine, and accompanied with other Blood Purifying and enriching agents, suitable for the Liver, Digestion, and all those ailments requiring Tonic strengthening and Nerve-increasing properties. It is invaluable when suffering with Colds, Pneumonia, or any serious illness or prostration caused by sleeplessness or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassi- tude.

-=-=- King and the Oddfellows. PRESENTATION OF CENTENARY JEWEL. His Maiesty King George received at Marl- borough House on Tuesday morning a deputa- tion from the Manchester Unity of Odd- fellows, whose centenary is being celebrated this year, for the purpose of receiving the loyal address which had been prepared for presentation at the Centenary Conference at Southampton in Whit-week, and a gold jewel, which has been specially struck to commem- orate the centenary of the society. The depu- tation consisted of the Grand Master (Bro. T. Barnes, of Plymouth), the immediate Past Grand Master (Bro. E. Bourne, of Chelten- ham), and the Senior Director (P.G.M. J. Har- ford Hawkins). His Majesty received the three representatives of the society in the audience chamber. The Grand Master (Bro. T. Barnes), in presenting the address to his Majesty, expressed feelings of profound loyalty to his Majesty's throne and person, and the highest appreciation of his gracious recognition of the society's usefulness. His Majesty, hav- ing accepted the address from the hands of the Grand Master, expressed its admiration of its beauty. His Majesty added that he was most pleased to accept it. P.G.M. J. Harford Haw- kins, senior director of the society, then pre- sented his Majesty with the gold centenary jewel, specially struck in. commemoration of the event. The King accepted the jewel with evident pleasure, and then his Majesty asked the Grand Master as to the present member- ship of the society. The Grand Master informed his Majesty that the present member- ship was 1,035,000.

OUR NAVAL EXPENDITURE. Lord Charles Beresford's Timidity. Speaking at Haverhill (Suffolk) on Tuesday Mr F. W. Hirst, editor of the Economist," referred to Lord Charles Beresford's recent letter to the Prime Minister as a painful ex- ample of the timidity which frequently over- came military and naval heroes late in life. If Nelson had lived long en ugh he would pro- bably have become a three-standard man, and would have put all his money in the United'States for fear of a French or Spanish invasion. It was high time that taxpayers who had anything to lose should protest against this unlimited waste of money upon armaments. He had heard with great satisfaction of a strong Tory who, after filling up his super-tax form, remarked to his solicitor, Don't you think that perhaps we are spending too much on Dreadnoughts ?" If the British Admiralty, after spending for the last 10 or 12 years treble as much as the German, still demanded more, a competent board should be put in their place ? He believed that with more econo- mical control 10 per cent. of our naval and military expenditure could be saved. The profits of the contractors were often out- rageous. A big naval loan might send Consols to 75.

CARDIFF ARCHITECT'S HOLIDAY The sequel to a Cardiff gentleman's summer holiday at the pretty Carmarthenshire seaside resort of Pendine were heard at Narberth County Court on Monday before Mr E. Milner Jones (deputy judge). Ebenezer Evans, of the Green Bridge Hotel, Pendine, sued George E. Robinson, architect and civil engineer, Charles-street, Cardiff, for 29s 9d balance due on a bill of E8 4s 9d for three weeks' hotel expenses in August. Defendant conducted his own case, and said he was charged tor time when he was not at the hotel. Counsel for plaintiff said preparations had to be made whether defendant was at the hotel or not. His Honour commented on the small charge of 4s 6d a day for defendant and his daughter, and gave judgment for plaintiff for the full amount and costs. Defendant said he was willing to pay what was proper, and announced his intention to appeal against the decision.

FATAL FALL DOWN HOLD. At an inquest at Cardiff on Tuesday onThos. John Rees (45), dock labourer. Coburne-street, Cardiff, Mr Harry Venables (Messrs Vaughan and Roche) appeared for Hill's Dry Dock Co., and Mr Evan Davies for the rela- tives. Evidence was given that the deceased on October 11th was empoycd on scaling or chipping the hold of the ss. Medomsley. While doing this he fell to the bottom of the hold, a "distance of over 15ft., alighting on his head and shoulder. He died on Sunday, Dr. Holborow attributing death to concussion, followed by congestion of the lungs. It was stated that, although in good health, deceased had sueflred from fainting fits. A verdict was returned in accordance with the medical evidence.

SUSTAINED BROKEN BACK. A verdict of "Accidental death," was re- turned at an inquest held on Tuesday at Mountain Ash by Mr R. J. Rhys. Daniel Leharne (32), who died at the Mountain Ash Cottage Hospital on Saturday. Evidence was called to show that death was due to an acci- dent which deceased sustained on August 15th, whilst employed as a haulier at the Albion Colliery, Ciiienydd. The story of the accident was given by Joseph Harris, a master haulier at the colliery, and was to the effect that de- ceased was taking a full tram out when the horse took fright and ran awsy. Leharne who was riding on the gin" fell off and broke his back/in the fall.

8 DR. BLACK JONES AND MISS 6WLADYS G. TENNANT. Llangammarch Wells parish church was the scene of a fashionable wedding on Tuesday afternoon, the bridegroom being Mr William Black Jones, M.D., B.8c., ,J.P., Rahere Lodge, Llangammarch Wells, and the bride, Miss Gwladys Gwenllian Tennant, of Aberavon and Llangammarch Wells. The bridegroom, the elder son of the late Rev. W. M. Jones, D.D. (London) and Mr8 Theodora W. Jones, of Llangammarch Wells, is one of the most popular public men in North Breconshire, and the bride is the youngest daughter of Mr Marmaduke Tennant, J.P., town clerk of Aberavon. Floral arches had been erected by the villagers, and bunting was freely displayed. I The Rev. E. Davies, B.A., vicar of Aberavon, and the Rev. J. Evans, M.A., rector of Llan- gammarch Wells, were the officiating clergy. There was a large congregation of friends and well-wishers. The hymn, The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden," was sung as the bridal party entered the ancient edifice, the bride leaning on the arm of her father. The service was fully choral, and, in addition to an appropriate anthem, two further hymns were rendered viz., 0 Love Divine, How Sweet Thou Art," and" O. Perfect Love." The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress of white Irish poplin em- broidered with floss silk, and a veil of old Brussels lace f el I in ample folds over filets of orange flowers and buds entwined with myrtle and white heather. Miss Constance o. Tennant (sister of the bride ),the bridesmaid, was attired in cream taffeta, with pale blue trimmings. Her bouquet was of violets, and she wore a large picture hat of black and white chiffon, with a wreath of white jessamine. Mr F. R. Lawes, Builth Wells, was the best man. Subsequently a reception was held at the picturesque home of the bride. Dr. and Mrs Black-Jones left by the 4.46 p.m. train for Leamington, where and in London the honey- moon will be spent. The bride travelled in a coat and skirt of biscuit-coloured shantang silk, faced with black braided silk, and a black picture hat and biscuit-coloured plumes.

HARGREAVES~BROWN—PIG0TT. The marriage took place on Tuesday at the Guards' Chapel, Wellington Barracks, of Cap- tain Hargreaves Brown, 2nd Coldstream Guards (son of Sir A. Hargreaves-Brown, Bart., and Lady Brown, of Broom Hall, Surrey, and 12, Grosvenor-gardens), and Miss Ivy Pigott (daughter of Admiral and Mrs Pigott, of Doddershall Park, Bucks, and niece of Major- General Lloyd, C.V.O. and D.S.O.). The bride's uncle, the Rev. Rossendale Lloyd, assisted by the Rev. Ralph Layard White (chaplain to the Brigade of Guards) and the Rev. W. Wilfred Cleave conducted the service.

Edwards presiding, a bill of £16 for milk sup- plied to the children attending the open-air school at Aberbargoed was presented. The Deputy Clerk said that only 14s of this amount had been received from the parents. Although the school had been established about 12 months it was only recently that they recom- mended that each child should be given milk twice a day. Since this had been supplied the children appeared to thrive and improve con- siderably. It was decided to recommend the payment of the account. An application from attendance officers for the support of the managers with a petition asking for remunera- tion for taking the census during the holidays was allowed to lie on the table.

r House Agents' Action. "JOHN BULL" SUED FOR LIBEL In the King's Bench Division on Monday Mr Justice Ridley and a special jury had before them an action for alleged libel brought by Messrs Carter and Skinner, house agents, of Walter House, Strand, against "John Bull" (limited) and the publishers of John Bull." Plaintiffs sued in respect of what they alleged to be unfounded criticisms of the business methods of Messrs Carter and Skinner. The defence was that the statements complained of were true, in so far as they were statements of fact, and fair, in so far as they were comment. Mr McCall, K.C., for the plaintiffs, said that Carter and Skinner carried on a considerable business in introducing people to boarding- house and private hotel keepers, from whom they received a commission for the introduc- tion. In September, 1909, Mr Carl Szialgyi, of Buda Pesth. applied to plaintiffs to find rooms for his two daughters. Plaintiffs acted on this letter, advertising for two consecutive days. On October 16th "John Bull" published the statements complained of in a paragraph containing the following :— The constant repetition of these advertise- ments (counsel reminded the jury that the advertisement hn'1 only appeared twice) shows that the Austran family cannot be very easily pleaseu, but they afford tempta- tion to hundreds of poor people, to whom four guineas are an important incen- tive. These prospective victims make a pilgrimage to Walter House, and are invited to fill in a form. The sum of 5s or 10s is then extracted from them, and they hear no more about the matter. We express our doubts about the existence of any particular Austrian family having given serious instructions to offer four guineas at all. If we are mistaken we shall be glad to have full particulars from the firm in order that we may extend our inquiries to Austria,. The publication of this, said counsel, did much damage to plaintiffs' business. Mr Bertie Carter, a partner in the plaintiff firm, gave a_total denial to the suggestion that plaintiffs hacl taken money for introduction to the Austrian family from people outside the stipulated radius without telling such people of the stipulation. All the people who replied to the advertisement and paid the fee necessary to get on to plaintiffs' books had an oppor- tunity of seeing Szialgyi's letter, and in return for all such fees plaintiffs gave introduction for a year. Other witnesses having been called for the plaintiffs, the case for the defence was pre- sented to the jury. Witnesses from Acton, Harringay, Greenwich and Clapton were called, who said that they replied to Messrs Carter and Skinner's advertisement with reference to the Austrians, and paid their fee of 10s 6d with- out being informed of the stipulation as to locality contained in the Austrians' letter. The hearing was adjourned. A verdict for the plaintiffs, with damages assessed at one farthing, was returned on Tuesday.

Young Man & Chancellor. SCENE OUTSIDE CITY TEMPLE. Arising out of a disturbance at the City Temple on Monday, on the occasion of Mr Lloyd George's speech, Victor Duval (2d), engineer, residing at Park-road, Wandsworth, was charged at the Guildhall on Tuesday with using threatening language calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. Inspector Jones said on Monday night, he was on duty outside the City Temple with other officers awaiting the arrival of Mr Lloyd George. As the Chancellor got out of his car, defendant put his hand over a sergeant's shoulder and caught hold of the Chancellor's coat, at the same time saying, Lloyd George, you are a traitor and a villain Fearing a breach of the peace, witness took Duval into custody. The Magistrates' Clerk Mr Lloyd George takes no action —Witness No he does not wish to bother. Defendant asked for an adjournment to call witnesses to prove that he used no threatening language* He denied calling Mr Lloyd George a traitor and a villain. He put a question to him on women's suffrage. The Alderman Will you consent to enter into recognisances not to cause a disturbance in the street ? Defendant I could not enter into recog- nisances for I never make a disturbance in the street. The Alderman adjourned the case until Mon- day. George Jacobs (69),agent, of Maze-road, Kew Gardens, was next charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting the police, and attempt- ing to rescue Duval. He denied the charge, alleged that the police were brutal to Duval, and also applied for an adjournment to call witnesses. His application was granted. The defendant Victor Duval is hon. secretary of the Men's Political Union for Women's Enfranchisement, and George Jacobs a mem* ber of that society.

WELSH MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY. The death of Mr George Anton Stbop, a Manchester cotton yarn salesman, 27 years of acre, who was killed on Sunday on Garn Mouu- tain,was inquired into on Tuesday by a coroner and jury. It appeared that the party pro- ceeded on Sunday to climb Y Garn, the height of which is.given as 3,100 feet. All were ex- perienced climbers, especially deceased. At a height of two or three hundred feet difficulties arose more than once, which caused Mr Stoop, who led, to signal to his companions to return to a grass sloping ledge. No sooner had they reached there than a sound of falling rock attracted their attention. Deceased, appear- ing as if he had leapt from above, came down head foremost and alighting on the grassy l<?d^e rolled again downward. The rope be- came taut and snapped with almost a clean eut, with the cesult that Mr Stoop was precipi- tated in a gully below, a depth of 60 feet. His injuries included a compound fracture of the skull. According to one witness a stone must have knocked deceased from above, which caused him to jump, and the rope must, when the strain came upon it, have been caught by one of the large blocks. A verdict of Acci- dental death' was returned. The remains were buried in Llanllyfni parish .churchyard.

POPULAR ART. An art problem had to be decided by his Honour Judge Bray at Shoreditch County Court on Tuesday. This was the position :—Finsbury stationers, Bell, Rickard and Co., said that Miss Morris, a Holborn artist, had spoiled 6,300 postcards in tinting them Miss Morris said the cards could certainly not be tinted better at the price of 10s per 1,000. Criticisms made by the plaintiffs in regard to some of the cards were :— Cleopatra's Needle: Water must not be green. Horse Guards Too much splash. In the Park: Trees too green. New Sessions House Too yellow. An expert pointed out that the work of an R.A. could not be expected at the rate of 10s ] per 1,000 and judgment was given for the artist.

A MOTHER'S LAST KISS. —— ] An inquiry was held at Battersea on Tuesday concerning the death of Rosina Mary Beckett (33), wife of a commercial traveller, of Market- parade, Balham, who died in the Bolingbroke Hospital from the effects of laudanum poison- ing. ] It appeared that the deceased and her son, aged 11, visited several chemists' shops and purchased at each of them twopennyworth of laudanum. On reaching home the deceased kissed her little girl, saying, I will kiss you for the last time." Early in the morning the deceased was found by her husband uncon- scious, and she died in hospital the same night from the effects of opium poisoning. A sister 1 said that the deceased thought she had cause for being jealous. A verdict of Suicide during temporary in- sanity was returned.

SON CHARGED WITH HOUSEBREAKING A Cardiff father found himself in the awkward position of having to prosecute his eldest son on Tuesday for housebreaking. The accused was Arthur Edwards, and the charge against him was that he broke into the house at 46, Metal street, in the occupation of Edwin Edwards, and stole 3s 6d, aiso two sovereigns belonging to Margaret Roberts. The father told the Deputy-Stipendiary that the house was broken into on Sunday even- ing;when the family had gone out. His house- keeper, Margaret Roberts, missed two sover- eigns from her purse, which had been put in a drawer in her bedroom. His son had got married 13 months ago, and had only been once back at the house. He then used a latch key, which he had never returned. The housekeeper, who said she was a widow, stated that whoever got into the house left by the kitchen window, as the flower pots were taken off the sill. Detective-Sergeant Rosscr said he went to see young Edwards at Severn-road on Monday 1 evening. Prisoner at first denied that he had a key to the house, but afterwards produced one. On the way to the Roath Police Station he said I am sorry I did not think of the seriousness of the offence. I had some bills lo meet this morning, and I went with tha key and took the money." In answer to the charge witnesss eaid prisoner replied I took the money but I did not realise it was housebreak- ing. seeing that it was my father's house." Mr Francis emphasised the fact that the father had no animus in the matter and he wished the case to be dealt with that day. Prisoner was committed to take his trial at the Assizes, bail being allowed.

At a meeti ng of managers of the Tredegar group of schools at Tredegar on Tuesday, the Rev. A. Barrett presiding, it was reported by the County Sites and Building Committee that a sub-committee had been appointed to visit llollybush with a view to acquiring additional land for school extensions, which it is anticipate will be necessary owing to the development in the Sirhowy Valley.

"INCARNATION." Sir Oliver Lodge delivered an addrese Incarnation "tea crowded congregation> the King's Weigh House Church, street, last night, the Rev. R. J. Campbell P siding. Sir Oliver prefaced his remark^ saying that there was no real end to anyto*f in the universe, nor was there a beginni* I hat which now appeared to be endless —namely, death—might really be the P ^>,0 to a state of keen activity. The death ot body did not convey any assurance soul s decease. There were three adventure*^ birth, marriage, and death and few all three. (Laughter.) The earth was darkness, but it was our own fault. There room for all and plenty for all, under pr°Py 3rganisation the earth was as bright as □ther of the heavenly bodies. If it seemed it was our own fault.
