I Lords and Licensing I BILL REJECTED BY LARGE MAJORITY I For rejection of Licensing BiB. 272 Against .— 96 Majority against Bill 176 After three days' historic debate in the House of Lords, the ill-fated Licensing Bill was killed by the peers last night. The scene towards the close was remarkable. No such throng has crowded the Gilded Chamber since the Lords threw put Mr. Gladstone's Last Home Rule Bill. Great territorial earls and barons came up from far shires for the final vote. Lord Aberdeen, Viceroy of Ireland, hurried in and slipped into his place on the Government bench. The Mar- quess of Cianricarde, with a green tie flash- ing with diamonds, was on the other side. Lord Roaebery Lounged on a cross-bench. Lord Roberts, straight and emart at 76, sat near him. All was ready for the final stroke. The Lord Chancellor of England rose from the woolsack, strode—a tall, dignified figure—to the left of the red settee, and delivered the last speech of the great debate. The Lord Chancellor had scarcely room to stand, so dense was the throng of peers. He dwelt on the havoc wrought by the drink evil, by fill- ing gaols, workhotbes, and lunatic asylums. He began to argue that the Lords could lot the Bill go to the Committee stage. lie stopped short. He swung round, a monu- ment of dignified indignation, and looked at the great throng of Unionist peers. But I know that this Bill is as dead as a door nail," said the Lord Ohancellor. Then came the end. The Bill was soon dead. The Lord Chancellor put the question to the House, Should it be read a tMeond time? Lord Lans- downe sat, leaning forward, his arms on his knees. A thin, white-robed line of bishops and a small black file of peers paced slovrly to one lobby—great battalions of Unionist peers to the other. Twenty minutes later the figures were announced. There were loud Unionist oheers. Then the vast assembly melted away, the flash of jewels and the flutter of silks vanished from the Peeresses' Gallery, and the Licensing Bill was a thing of the past.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHESI New brass goods should never be cleaned with metal polishes; they should be simply dusted with a soft cloth. The lacquer is preserved by cleaning the brass occasionally with furniture polish with a light rubbing. To remove creases from laoe or ribbon without the &hiny patches the flat-iron always leaves, damp a little by wrapping in damp cloth, and when damp enough bind firmly rouricL a stone or enamelled jar and pin at end, then fill jar with boiling watA- and leave for about five or ten minfutes. For people who suffer from rheumatism or gout, potatoes sh-o-uld always be cooked in their skins, as if peeled they lose their most valuable salts in cooking. Celery contains sulphur, amd is excellent either steamed or raw for sufferers from rheumatism. People with weak digestions often complain that stewed fruit does not agree with them, but causes wind. This is very often the re&ult of eating bread with the fruit, a thing never to be recommended, even for people with healthy digestion. Dates are excellent for people with consumptive tendencies, are very easily digested, and contain abundance of sugar. Uncooked figs are aperient, but dur- ing the cooking process lose thMt property. To Curl Feathers. A good way is to sprinkle well with dsanrp salt, then shake before a small fire, and when hot dr?w each piece sharply with the back of a knife, beginning from the stem. Shake out again when finished. A Nice Luncheon or Supper Dish. Cut a ra.bbit into small pieces and stew gently for one hour. Take out the largest of bones when cooked, add to the gravy los. of gelatine. Line a mould with slices of cooked beetroot out in fancy pha-pes with a little chopped parsley sprinkled round. Put in the pieces of rabbit, strain gravy over them. turn out when cold, a-ad garnish with email tufts of parsley.

I GOOD PRISON FOOD .1 A tribute to the food served ont in prison was paid by Dr. Waldo during an inquest ha was holding at Hollo way Guol yesterday. A wardress said one day's meal would be:- Breakfast.—A pint of cocoa and six ounces of bread. Dinner.-Thre"-narters of a pint of soup and six ounces of potatoes. Supper.-Pint of cocoa and six ounces of bread. The deputy medioal officer also stated that if a prisoner was ill he had power to order ohampagne, brandy, fowl, eggs-in fact, any- thing he chose. There seemed to be a great deal of misunderstanding concerning the prison diet and its quality, said the coroner, but he had gone over the kitchen and found everything a marvel of cleanliness. He had specially tested. the cocoa and the food generally, and had found it to be of the very best quality.

I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP j A Suggestion and an Explanation. We have received the following letter from a. NeatJi oorrespondent, who sigg 'bi=f Bim >' Sir,—With regard to your Welsh club cham- pionship percentage table, may I suggest an improvement? As calculated at present it is possible that we might one day Bee*. Per- P. W. L. D. cenitage. Dockville 20 16 0 4 80.00 t Tintown 20 16 4 0 80.00 3. Coalborough.. 20 14 1 5 70.00 4. Bridgepolis 20 12 0 8 60.00 The result is obviously misleading. The mathematical ideal should surely be: Sub- tract losses from wins, and then calculate what percentage of the total played is then given; in faot. to ascertain the team's posi- tion by the balance" of profit over loss towards the "total played." We then arrive at. the conclusion that- I. IloolrvlUe, having won 16, lost 0, has 16 points out of a possible 20. Percentage, 80.00. 2. Coalborough has 14—1=13 out of 20. Per- centage, 65.00. 3. Tintown has 16—4=12 out of 20. Per- centage, 60.00. 4. Bridgepolis has 12—0=12 out of 20. Per- ce, 60.00. I The revised and correct table should read: Per- P. W. L. D. cent age. 1. Dock, viUe 20. 16 0 4 80.00 2. Coalborough.. 20 14 1 5 65.00 (Tintown 20 16 4 0 60.00 3 I Bridgepolis 20 12 0 8 60.00 By a.dopting this method a. more fair basis is arrived at, from which not only to reward wins and penalise losses, but also to penalise in some degree unwon games. We are always glad to receive suggestions from our readers. We are afraid, however, that Bim "-who, by the way, is an M.A. (Oxon)-has not studied the method adopted lai regard to the table published in the "Western Mail" every Monday morning. The plan adopted is to work out the per- centage table on the basis of one point for a win and half a point for a draw. Thus, to take his illustration, Dockville would figure as having a percentage of 90.00, and the tour clubs he mentions would figure as foLlows: Per- P. W. L. D. centoge. D-k,TiUe 20 16 0 4 90.00 Coalborough 20 14 1 5 82.50 Tintown 20 16 4 0 80.00 BridgepoKs 20 12 0 8 80.00 As the result of many years' experience we ha.ve come to the conclusion that our system is better than any yet brought to our notice. Drawn games cannot be entirely ignored. On the basis of Bim,s,, contention a team might play ten games, win four, loee four, and draw two, and stand in the position of having no percentage of wins at all, whereas under our plan the team would be credited with 50.00 of wins Of course, our plan is not perfect, but has certainly proved the fairest to all concerned.

I CARDIFF EMPIRE Mies Hetty King will pay a welcome return viiit. Since her last appearance at Cardiff Miss King has made another successful journey to the United States. In her very youthful days Miss King wae chiefly a mimic cf tihe leading artistes, such as Gus Elen, Eugene Stratton, Vesta Victoria, Marie Lloyd, Ac. Perhaps the most curious thing is that formerly she played the part i of principal girl in pantomime, but since she has adopted the line of male impersonator she has invariably played principal boy. Misa King is a young lady of athletic inclina- tions, and is very fond of cycling, fishing, golfing and swimming, running, and jump- ing, too. In fact, .uass King is a typical modern English girl, and, as a typical Eng- lish girl should be, she is full of health and spirits. A novel turn, exceedingly in- teresting and entertaining, will be that presented by M. and Mdlle Ga,il,lard, entitled; "The Questirian Lion d' Arlegnaoll and his little Playmate Chocolat. Other engaged are the Stein Ernoto Troupe, who perform wonderful hand jumps on tables and chairs; Olg-a. and Elgar, a delightfully-refined musical act; Ethel Nermann, Maudi,e Francis, Alf Holt, and selections by George Robey and Victoria Monks on the chronomegaphone.

Instructions have been telegraphed to the American admiral commanding art Manila, to send two vessels to the Yang-Tse region to re-place the two recently there, which have left for Manila to carry out target practice.

JUDGE'S DELICATE TASK I A slim girl was seed at Whitechapel yes- terday for a dress which the maker sa:i(J was a splendid fit, but defendant declared that it was imipossiible to put the coat on without havin-g all her clothes "bundled inside." Judge Bacon sent the girl to put the costume on. and when she returned into court the dressmaker protested that she had "stuffed herself out." "Nonsense!" said the judge. A woman's figure does not undergo such a. rapid change in so short a time." The j,ud.B wanted to know what she was wearing. I have very little on over my corsets," she said. "What else have you?" asked the judge, and she said she had the usual articles of clothing. "Take off the jacket and let me have it," said the judge, and, having scrutinised the needlework, he said: It is not a fit. It 'has never been altered since it went out of the workshop." Judg- ment was entered for the girl.

I LITTLE DISEASE CARRIERS At the National Union of Publio Health Authorities Conference yesterday Alderman Dr. Newton said that tuberculosis was a. disease responsible for 60,000 deaths annually, and this represented a direct loss to the country of £ 9,000,000.

Be is not here!" she cried. almost hysterically, flinging herself swiftly in front of him. "I only dread that he should come back and And you here! Oh, why won't you IrQ. why won't you listen to me? If he comes back and finds you here. he will be implac- able. It was only at my pleading that he consented to give you an hour's grace. You know what he is when his anger is roused; you know what passed between you and him at your last interview-" It was a shot in the dark; but she had known it was a stormy interview. "Yes, I know I called him a thief—and it was true!" he said stubbornly. She seized on the admission; she remem- bered how, as John Sarrol /sat in an abstracted mood at dinner, his lips had formed a word. She un.derstood now; it was that word "thief"; it watt that that had, evidently, rankled so in John S#rrol's mind. "Yes, you called him a thief!" she cried, almost without a pause, "and tha-t has made him relentless. You have nothing to hope for after that. You called him a thief-and because of that he'll make you suffer. Oh, rm sorry for yoq, sorry—God knows!" The cry was torn from her involuntarily— plucked out of the heart cf her poignant, remorseful feelings, that yet were not remorse; for her purpose stood stronger than all her pity for the man she was about to injure. She did not want this man to suffej,- She only wanted to save Philip. Since some- coke must suffer, it must not be Philip. He saw the tears in her eyes, read the emotion in the strained voice; and flic k er of hope came to him. "You're a woman, a pitying woman—your husband will listen to you if not to me," he said in a low voice at appeal. "What satisfaction can it give him to ruin my future, as he has the power to do, though he knows Detmold's death was not murder? Rut he'll listen to you, you his wife-won't jcu intercede? I called' him a thief; well, I'll retract that!" Beatrice Sarrol shook her head. The situation was becoming almost intolerable. "He'll never forgive that word. You ask his wife to intercede-has he ever listened to me yet? Would he listen to me now? I know him too* well. Oh, it's useless—why can't r convince you how useless this is? You have nothing to hope for: accept that faot. and act accordingly," she whispered feverishly. "Every moment is a precious one to you now. I know my husband; you called him was unforgivable. Go, before he returns and finds you here. But for me he would not have given you even an hour's grace. I dread his returning to find you here; I dread his changing his niind and telephoning to the police at once. Go." Owen Hughes was looking at the woman closely. There was soni-et-hing about her he could not f.a.thom-a. furtivenesa in her manner. "lvhat is there behind all this?" he said suddenly. "Is there any other reason-a hidden reason—why, you don't want me to sec your husband? Is there some trap beia" laid for me?" "Tte trap is being set only by your own delay. The golden momenta are slipping by whilst you wait here, when you might be making your escape, putting yourself out of reach by the time the police are told who killed Percival Detmold. Why don't you make the most of your chance?" Pity and compassion were fighting for him. tearing her heart—but with never a chance against the &et purpose that dominated her. Owen Hughes listen-ed dully A sense of impotent revolt against circumstances swept over him. An hour in which to By—to be a hunted man henceforward, skulking in corners, crouching in hiding, m ever present foar of arrest: a dog's life! And if he took to flight, where waa he to go, what was he to do? Whither the Tcaod led, stretching away from his feet, he did not know; he only knew that inevi- tably it led him away from the sweetest thing that had come to him in life—away from Elsie. "Go quieldy!" He waa convinced at last of the futility of ——— I his appeal, that only instant flight stood between him and arrest; persuaded at last, The door opened and the man passed out, and the door was shut again. But for an instant he lingered outside the door, and there was terror in the listening woman's, Beatrice Sarrol pulled aside one fold of the screen. I face—the sudden dread that he had not: accepted her words as final, but meant to go and look for Sarrol in the billiard-room. That would ruin everything. Then she heard his footsteps begin to move slowly towards the garden door by which he had entered—this scapegoat. As ahe stood there, Beatrice Sarrol 'wondered if anyone had ever before lived through such a crowded hour. The march of events bad moved so swiftly—so amazingly swiftly—quarter of an hour at the most since that broken. stifled cry from the dark- ness that had ushered in the tragedy; swiftly, and so silently. that as yet no one suspected that with which to-morrow all this corner of Walee, where John Barrel's name was one to conjure by in com- mercial and financial circles, would be ringing. She listened impatiently to the slow. receding footsteps: why didn't the man hurry, make the most of his time to escape? She wanted him to get clear away, this man driven into flight by lies. Lies- her feet were sinking in a morass of lies, lies to trap an innocent man! An hour ago Beatrice Sa.rrol could not have believed herself capable of such an act of treachery as this—a troaahery she would not have been guilty of to save herself. Only it wfla Philip who had to be saved at any oost, Philip who had been drawn into the quarrel that had led to tragedy through her. "We are wnat fate makes us," she whispered suddenly. She loved Philip Muir—she had always loved him, with a depth of feeling that even her broken oontession-that confession that she had never meant to make to him, only that temptation had assailed her when she was weakest—had perhaps hardly told him. Loved .Philip, as he had never been capable of loving-anyone but himself. Beatrioe Sarrol dragged herself suddenly out of the feverish thoughts. Circum- stances were fighting for her. The receding footsteps had reached the garden door, had passed on to the verandah; she heard the sound of ther tread on the gravel, as she stood waiting, consumed with impatience till the coast should be clear. Fifteen minutes or longer since that grim drama had been played out in the darkness of this room: it seemed a miracle that they had been left undisturbed so long. But at any moment someone might come to the room —and if she and Philip were found there, her plan fell to the ground: their plea of knowing ,nothing that had happened would got hold water. The moment had come for the final moves 111 her desperate plan. They must be far away from the room before discovery came; it must not be known that they had been here at all. I, Philip!" The footsteps had died away. It would be safe to steal out now. No time to lose. He stood by the curtains behind which he bad remained hidden whilst Owen was in the room. Horror and shame and a touch of irresolution still showed in the grey set face that met hers acroea the library. Yon thief of a man's honour!" The dead man's words, almost his last words, ra.I1 in Philip's mind-; the phrase repeated i itëelf again and again. And now a double thief—a thief in intent of Owen Hughes's honour! And he had liked Owen; they had been friends--and his hands were building up a wall of silence shutting off his friend from the power to clear himeelfl "The thief of a man's honour!" "Oh, PhiUp, *Philip!" She made a sudden. appealing movement towards hun. "Don't look at me like that," she cried. I'm not a. cruel woman, or a callous woman; only there are things beyond the limdt of human endurance to bear; I couldn't beatr to think of you suffering—and it was you or he! Blame the stuff we're made of-I couldn't. act otherwise, caring for you as I do! It's, my zin-my sin more than yours!" Her sin-but when the Great Judge Should pronounce the la6t amtence. judging between him and the man who was dead, vlh?tt.=l then to cry: "The woman tempted me!" "Qlliok. Philip; we must go now—now at once! You're not going to cancel all I've done?" she cried desperately. "ThrLnk of the alternative: you to lose your beet years in prison, herding with the vilest of the vile, to come out at last a broken man, with the taint of the years in prison clinging to you, your future soured, ruined—aU as a result of a. moment's passion. Philip, I can't let you go to that f.ate! Look! That's what they'll sentence you for unless you let me do thter Wildly, with an unconsciously dramatic gesture, Beatrice Sarrol pulled aside one fold of the screen, revealing the thing there: the dead man lyipg stark and still, with the stick near him. and the incriminating letter placed under one stiff hand; and she saw him shrink aad whiten. After all, we accuse no one," she whis- pered temptingly, with a feverish light smouldering in her eyes. We are silent, we know nothing. 08U tell notbing; that-is all. Let the police draw what deductions they can and will; we neither help nor hinder them-we accuse no one, we know nothing! Philip shuddered. The argument was specious enough, but from that letter there would only be one deduction to draw. But the eight of the dead man, the thought of that slow, ruthless machinery of the law that such an act must inevitably set in motion broke his nerve down. the last irres- olute impulse to do the straight thing. "ob, I'm a cotward, a cowærd-" His voice trailed off into faltering silence. It was the final surrender. This thief of a man's honour would be a double thief now. "Come, there's not a moment to lose; we mast steal away now at once, whilst there's tim.e!" Bea.trioe whispered in feverish impatience. She stole across and noiselessly locked the door, then turned off the light. Half-way I across the room she paused on her way back to the window. Footsteps in the corridor outside, coming from the billi-d-r- coming nearer. "Quick, we must be gone! There's someone coming!" she whispered desperately to the man, and her fingers felt and fumbled with the fastening of the folding windows as the footsteps stopped outside the room and the handle was turned of the locked door. And then the door was shaken impatiently. "Ob. quick, quiok!" TO BE GOVTINC ED ON MONDAY.

OLD ENGLISH COMEDIES I Lovers of old English comedies will wel- come the appearance of Mr. Edward Compton, supported by his celebrated oompany, includ- ing his charming daughter, Mk>3 Viola Comp- ton, at the New Theatre, Cardiff, next week. It is now some eight years since Mr. Comp- ton has been to Cardiff, and this will be Miss Compton's first appearance in the city. The programme for the week ought to attract and please the most critical of play. MR. EDWARD COMPTON. goers. On Monday, Thursday. and Saturday evenings that ever-popular comedy, "Davy Garrick." will be staged, being preceded by a comedy in one act, "The Desperate Lover." The latter has not been seen in Cardiff before, and from all accounts it appears to be an excellent little piece. On Tuesday "The Rivals" will bold the boards, and for Wednesday "The School for Scandal" is chosen. Miss Oompton's performance of Lady Teazle" is very highly spoken of. On Friday—the occasion of Mr. Compton's benefit-there will be a special revival of Mr. Compton's great success, A Reformed Rake," and on Saturday afternoon "She Stoops to Conquer" will be staged.

THE PALACE, CARDIFF The latest artiste to turn her attention to the variety stage is that clever actress, Miss Olga Andre, the lady who has attained success in The Worst Woman in London," Her Forbidden Marriage," Girl's Cross Road," and other of the Melville productions. Mr. Macnaghten has been the first to secure her services, and this talented lady and her company will appear next week at the Palace, Cardiff, in a stirring dramatic episode, entitled The Crimson Stain." Other items in the programme are the Leonas, Norah Desmond. Queenie Essex, Woodhouse and Wells, the Betsons, the bioscope, and popular Dan Whitley.
