RHYMNEY.I
RHYMNEY. I A REMINDER.—On Thursday and Friday evenings next, a seasonable attraction will be provided the public of Rhymney and district, when two grand performances will be given of the interesting cantata, entitled "Blind Maid of Bethany" (Carey Bonner) at the Victoria Hall by the Goshen United Choir, under the efficient conductorship of Mr James Lewis, A.C. The leading characters are in the hands of well trained local talent, whilst the chorus is an excellent one, and having regard to the great impression made by this band of singers on previous occasions, it is safe to anticipate a fine treat next week. A MEAN THEFT. — At the New Tredegar Police Court on Friday, James Childs (39), labourer, of Rbym- ney, was fined iC5, or a month, for stealing a gold watch and chain, the property of William Morris, of the Farmers' Arms. The evidence was to the effect that the watch had been missed from the club-room after a meeting had been held, at which the defendant was present. Defendant subsequently offered to sell the watch at a public house, on which be had secured a loan of 58 for three days. Defendant pleaded that someone had put the watch in his pocket, and that be had intended to take it back to the owner, but had not time to do so be- fore he was arrested. e e KILLED IN ACTION.—On Saturday afternoon, Mr and Mrs Rees King, Church Street, received the sad in- telligence from the Commanding -1!$ Officer of the Regiment, that their eldest son, Second-Lieutenant Albert King, of the Monmouthshire Regi- ment, had been killed in action in France .on the 23rd. ultimo. A path- etic incident associated with his death is the fact that only a few days pre- viously, the parents received a most encouraging letter from their son, stating that all was well, and he was looking forward to having a brief fur- lough. Lieutenant King, who has another brother in the Army is, we believe, the first Rhymney officer to fall in action. Educated at the well- known Pengam County School, he was at St. David's College, Lampeter, preparing to take Holy Orders, when war was declared. He joined the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as a private, and after considerable service was recommended for a commission, and became attached to the Monmouth- shire Regiment in August last. Mr and Mrs King have been the recipi- ents of quite a number of messages of sympathy in their sore bereavement. e DEATH OF MRS. H. DA VIES.—It is with profound sorrow that we have to announce the death of Mrs Davies, the beloved wife of Mr Henry Davies, the respected choirmaster and secre- tary of Mount Carmel English Con- gregational Church, which sad event took place on Tuesday, at their home in Carno Street, at the comparatively early age of 44 years. The deceased lady had been in indifferent health for some time, but bore her sufferings with Christian-like fortitude. De- spite the careful nursing, and what the best medical science could accom- plish, the end came peacefully, as stated above, on Tuesday. Mrs Davies had been for years a zealous member of Zion Welsh Congrega- tional Church, a devoted wife, and a tender mother, and we feel sure that wide-spread sympathy will be ex- pressed with our fellow-townsman and family in their heavy bereave- ment. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon, leaving the house at 4.30, for the Graig Burial Ground.
CONGREGATIONAL CYMANFA GANU…
CONGREGATIONAL CYMANFA GANU AT RHYMNEY. Monday last witnessed another highly-successful singing festival, held under the auspices of the Welsh Congregational Churches of Rhymney and District. This cymanfa is one of the most popular of the year held in connection with the denomination in the county, and, as was to be ex- pected, the singing reached a very high standard of excellence, and, in fact, surpassed the expectations of the most exacting critic. The meetings were marked by the attainment of the real Welsh hwyl" and, naturally, the inspiring renderings won the warmest praise of the experienced conductor and musical genius, Mr Daniel Owen, who again wielded the baton in a masterly manner, and in- fused into the choristers the true Celtic fire, as the result of which the 1 response brought forth that power, devotion, and sense of true praise which the tunes and anthems called for. The massed choirs were drawn from Zoar (Graig), Zion, Goshen, and Moriah (Rhymney), Nazireth (Pontlottyn), and Bethania (Aber- tysswg) The tnorning iilc-oting was held at N zareth Chapel, Pontlottyn, which was crowded. As in past yearp, this meeting was devoted to the children's tunes, and the inspiring singing was a clear indication of the effective work which had been done in the rehearsals by the several cond uctors. Master Ellis Salmon ably presided at the organ. The duties of president were efficiently discharged by the Rev. Rhys Jenkins (Goshen), and Mr Enoch Evans (Moriab) examined the little ones in the Catechism, the answers being intelligently given, The afternoon meeting was held at Zion Chapel, which was crowded, Mr John Evans (Graig) ably presided. After the devotional part had been conducted, Mr Owen took up his position on the rostrum, and without loss of time, the programme was pro- ceeded with. Very effective render- ings were given of the following tunes IC Merthyr," (Dr. Parry)," y, Groes- bren," Broomsgrove," M Llanwnen," (Tom Davies), Gwynfa," (J. H. Roberts) Carnarvon" (Dr. Parry), in addition to the chorus "ThanKs be to God," and the anthems, the renderings of which were quite in- spiring, and the choristers worthily Is stained the noble traditions of past years for precision, attack, ncd colour- ing. A most edifying mteting closed with pi aycr. Mr Aoel E. Junes, A.C. the capable organist of the church, presided at the orJt n most t fficieii t ly, I THE EVENING MEETING. That the singing cymanfa has lost none of its popniarity was manifest at the closirg meeting1 at Moriah Chapel. Timed to commence at 6 o'clock the sacred edifice was comfortably crowd- ed long before that hour and scores failed to gain admission. A popular hymn tune having been sung, Mr I Thomas Williams, one of the deacons of the church, read a chapter, and the Rev. T. E. Willianae, (Jerusalem) engaged iu prayer, Mr J. W. Price, M.E. presided, and in his introductory remarka referred briefly to former cynmnfaoedd. Thefirsthe remembered i was one conducted by the late Dr. Joseph Parry, the author of tho Re- quiem in the programme for this year, and which the author himself con- I ducted with thrilling effect at that i cymanfa. The next one was conduct- Ii ed by the late Rev. W. Erulyn Jenes, Morriston, a gentleman equally famous both as a musician and a preacher, and ever since the cymanfa I has been held annually, with one short gap, with splendid sucoess and growing popularity. The one this year has never been excelled in this senae, and it is in safe bands in our present conductor (Mr Daniel Owen), and the trainers in t ho various places of worship. Mr Price also referred during the meeting to the presentation to Mr John T. Jones at the rehearsal at Zion Chapel on the previous Thurs- day evening. Mr Jones had carried out the duties of secretary of the committee for the last 12 years, and he rejoiced that his excellent services as such had been appreciated by the churches. The selections included Aber- hiraeth-" (D. Emlyn Evans) Mawl- gan," (Dr. Parry) "Plygeingan," Hermon," (E. T. Davies) Pwy fel lesu GrIst" (D. C, Williams). The choristers were also heard to fi_!1e advantage in the chorus, and also the anthems, Mor Hawddgar yw Dy Bebyll" (Dr. Parry), Dyn a aned o Wraig" (Dr D. C. Williams), the latter being one of the finest treats of the evening Pa fodd y Glanha (Abel E. Jones, A.C.). The singing, notwithstanding the intense heat, and crowded building, was again of a very high standed, and the conductor was warm in his praise to the choristers for their unremitting attention and masterly renderings. The service closed with prayer by the Rev. W. Davies, Trevil. Mr Charles Edwards rendered excellent service at the organ. The arrangements for the day were, as nsnal, of a complete character, and efficiently carried out by a committee, of which the Rev. J. R. Salmon was chairman Councillor H. M. Thomas, treasurer, (who succeeded the late Mr Griffith Jones, Goshen) and the secretarial dnties were again faithfully discharged by Mr John T. Jones, j Church Street. I

WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLER LIFE…
WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLER LIFE WAS LONGER. When the organs begin to weaken, whether early or late in life, the bard. workirg kidneys usually tire out first and should have first consideration. Failing- eyesight, stiff, achy joints, rheumatic pains, backache and dis- tressing urination are often due only to weak kidneys At tho first sign of weakness give the kidneys prompt attention. Drink water freely to flush the kidneys, and use Dean's Backache Kidney Pills to strengthen them. Go back to the Simple Life, to the oensible habits of your boyhood daJs. Eat less meat, avoid over-woi k, excesses and worry, and take more outdoor excerciae, rest and sleep. Everybody dreads kidney trouble, but this sensible treatment will keep the kidneys in condition, lengthen lifo, make it easier, arid perhaps avert altogerhor the more serious kidney diseases. Rhymney people have rPeOmmended Doan's Backache Kidney Pills to their friends and neighbours for over 15 years. The good they do aud the continual use of home testimonials in- spires au ever increasing confidence in THIS SPECIAL KIDNEY MEDI- CINE.

- :0 AN ABERTY 5SWG DISPUTE.
:0 AN ABERTY 5SWG DISPUTE. A MARCH TO TREDEGAR. Nearly tha whole of the men em- ployed at the Maclaren Colliery, Aber- tysswg, marc-bed over to Tredegar on Tuesday, headed by a local silver band to attend tin Police Court, where ;O of tho number were summoned for a breach of contract by wrongfully ab. senting themselves from work on April 7. Mr Charles Kenshole, Aberda-e, was for the Tredegar Iron and Conl Company, and with him were Mr W, D. Woolley, general colliery manager, and Mr W. S. Davies, agent. Mr T. .1. Thomas, B-irgoed, represented the men, and with him were Mr Albert ihomas, sub-agent, and Mr Walter Lewia, agent. Alderman T. J. Price, the chairman of the bench, at the outset asked whether there was not a possibility of settling the matter. It was scaicely compatible with the spirit of the nation to appear in court to redress grievances. There were so many idle that it was a loss to the company, and greater than all, a loss to the nation. o Mr Kenshole said a stoppage meant a loss of 1,300 tons a day, and the company had been, and were urged to use every effort to produce the largest amount of coal. There. had been correspondence between the par- ties, as a result of which the sum- monses were adjourned for a fortnight. The first thing done by the men after that was to put in fourteen days' notice. Mr T. J. Thomas said the poin t was that there had been a series of pinpricks for a long time past. All that the men wanted was to be paid in accordance with the Minimum Wage Act. It was a great annoyance to the men to find themselves 10s., 15s., or 20s. short of the minimum ?-age on a Saturday, especially when it was con- sidered how high prices of provisions were to-day. The Chairman said it showed great- er than all want of loyalty to the boys at the front when one spoke of pin- pricks at home in days such as these. Eventually the suggestion of the bench was adopted, the parties retiring' to the magistrates'.room to confer. On their return, after two hours, Mr Kenshole, after thanking the bench, said the terms arranged would obviate any further stoppages, and, after all, that was the object of the proceedings. When the workmen gave an undertaking as a body they had every confidence in their carrying it out, because they then realised their responsibility. The terms were that a resolution should be passed by the workmen in mass meeting that "no stoppage shall in future take place at Nos. 1 and 3 Pits, Maclaren Colliery, until the matter in dispute was referred to the management and the workmen's oommittee, failing agreement by them to the colliery agent and the men's agent without delay, and, failing agreement by them, to the Conciliation Board." The agreement was signed by Messrs W. S. Davies and W. D. Woolley, for the management, and I Messrs Walter Lewis and Albert Thomas, for the men. Mr T. J. Thomas concurred in the remarks, and thanked Alderman Price for his opening statement, to which Mr Kenshole agreed. Alderman Price expressed the satisfaction of the bench at the settlement. "8.
