I WEIGHT OF A CROWD In the building of thcyatre galleries and Sfand stands the sup-porting strength of the ^rpc'tiire has to be carefully worked out. Thi. is done, according to the "Philadelphia d," by multiplying the area in square eet by the pressure which it is estimated ?o?o?d exerts per square f<?, and making the SuPportz propcirtjon?teiy strong. At one time the weight o.f a crowd was deter- mined at between 82 pounds and 102 pounds D-er square foot, but experiments ha-ve shown this to be a great under-estimation,  the weight exerted is now calculated at -?d 123 pounds to IM pounds.

FUNERALS AS AMUSEMENTS It is not eyrnpathy for mourners that brings them to funerals: they desire amuse- ment, and a funeral amuses them as much 9,8 a performance a.t the Hirpcdronie; besides, it costs them nothing. ^Thifi caustic comment is taken from the ^dcliffe "Parish Magazine," and refers to the burial in the churchyard of a child by iIr- Mnirhead. As the child died from diph- ^■e.Tia—which is, of course, highly injections be did not take the coffin into the church for the service, but read all the service out- side. The magazine g-oes on to say that the 6aIn.e night Mr. Muirhead learned that a oro""d of arms-akimbo women who were in ,118 vicinity of the church, had made a 'hostile demonstration aga.inst him for not king the coffin into the church, and that Nearly everybody in the parish was talking a.bout it. He thinks he knows who some of ,ch,B women are that behaved so disgracefully,  they come to nearly every funeral, and ? knows they would be better occupied if bey would clean their houses, wash and ^end their clothes, and make their personal appearance tidy.

G I R L'S PICNIC" I SENSATIONAL ABDUCTION STORY TOLD IN COURT DECOYED TO A BUNGALOW ? SACK MERCHANT &FRIEND IN THE DOCK I An extraordinary etory WB8 told yesterday at Liverpool Police-court in connection with a charge of procuring and conspiracy preferred against a prepossessing young woman named Maud Her rocks (19) and two men of good social position named William Green, a sack merchant, of Poulton, Obe?urc. and Thomas E. FranÓs, ? WU1- aston, Cheshire. As outlined by Mr. Duder and sujvported by evidence, the story for the prosecution was that the girl was fifteen years of age on May 29 last, and lived with her mother, with whom the prisoner Horrocks also lived under the name of Wilson. On August 13 the girl, Who was perfectly innocent and modest, was askel by Horrocks to go with her to a, French polishers picnic to Wrexham. The girl's mother, thinking everything was all right, consented. At eleven o'clock on the Saturday morn- ing Horrocks and the girl set out for Wrex- ham, the former paying the railway and other expenses. On arriving at Wrexham they met the two male prisoners. They got into a motor car, and the girl asked Maud Horrocks where the rest of the picnic was, and both men replied that they were going to meet) the rest of the picrtic, later on. I She Took Wine I They drove for a time, wh:i& .seoêrned to be about half an hour, .a.g Holtroad, and crossing the river they g& out oi the car end went down a footpath to the river and to a road where there was a bungalow, which was approved by twO stepr, into a central room, used fer the purpose of a kitohen. k O?7he n?bt and the 1? of this central ?m M?M were two b^^o^- ?w.ln. oh were Mp?r?t?d by ha.Tig?g curt?ns and not a door. The girl noticed ?eM were four por^t ?in? g?s? st?i? On the t&blc and a black Lt.t? from which ^e cor, k bad been withdrawn and ?dently r?pta?d. She was ?Kd ? take a gla- of wine, and ? con- Th? others also bad -40MNAhing to drink, and then the men went with tbe woman Horrocks into the bedlam V the^■ri»ht side. One of the men ped to read a book sitting by the SIde Of the girl, and that was the last thing remomlv—fJi At that time sh4) WOA we?0ring her ? end iacket. V_W The Girl's Fears I As far as che could iccoH^t she woke up two hours alfterwdrds, when sbe was lying on the bed in a bedroom. As 511e moved to get off the bed the woman Horro^fc-. cmo m, and the girl immediately challenged her, and said that something bad happened to hor. The woman m-Hed, "Nothing has happened to you; I have been with you a, the time. You were asleep in the small room, so I took the hat and jacket off- you and carried you into the bedroom. The girl however, wM not satisfied with the woman's statement, -he found the two I men in the kitchen, an,d tokl them that, she believed something had been done to her, but they M.id tha-t nothing had happened and that the woman had been with hor all the time. They all had tea, and a-1 t-er a row on the river Horrocks and tb-e girl lèft the men, a.nd were conveyed to AVrexh-,iiii Railway I Station in a taxi-cab. During the journey back to Liverpool Murphy t«,]d Horrocks she was vexed with her for having said she was goin,g to a pic-nic, and. the woman replied, Tell your mother you have been to a pic- nic." Hofrocks and the girl went to bed that night without anything to eat- and as the ivonran fell upon her knees and begged her to adhere to the etory that they had been to a pfc-mc. a,nd that they had been nowhere d. Nothing wa* said about the affair until tlie 30th of that month, some fifteen or sixteen days later. The girl then informed a younc married woman, who a.lso lived in the house, what had happened, and she made a voluntary stat-ement on the 50th, which was repeated to the mother, and which was consistent with the story whioh she had told before. A Deep Sleep. I The mother went to the po'iro, and the I girl wa-s s-nbsequently examined by Dr. Houee, and his examination confirined the story told hy the girl. When Horrocks was arrested she dented that anyt-hitiig improper had taken place, and sa-id the girl had told her she had a.oted improperly with othea- men, ard made a specific allegation. not, Mr. Duder added, could be refuted if neeea- eary. Murphy, who ga.ve her evidence with remarkable ooolneiss, said t.ha.t the door of th<e bungalow tlid not open with an ordinary key, "they had to make a nadle with it." The wine she dra.nk was more brtter than that whioh she had on her birthday. She then felt herself go off into a deep elp. When she awoke she was in another room lying on her back on a stretcher bed. Her ha,t and jacket were off, and she felt very ill and sick. Both Horrocks and the men denied that anything had been done to her. Medical evidence in BUPpo-rt of the case for the prosecution was given, and the further hearing was adjourned.

League of Politeness I A BUTTON FOR COOO MANNERS I In St. Lcfflrts 1,000 men are now enrolled in the League of Politeness, and are now wear- ing true blue buttons as a pledge that they are really to surrender their seats to women. Mr. Stafford, a St. Louis millionaire, declares that he was delighted with the experiment (says the New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph "), which he is confident will spread throughout the country, and counteract the public incivility which he believes is giving America Ji bad name throughout the civilised world. In issuing the buttons this inquiry is made: "Are you a gentleman? Are you willing to give your seats to any woman standing in a street car? ni you are, you may wear the Stafford true blue button, by which you are plodded to see that women are seated before men." Mr. Stafford says that if men do this for one week they may get into the habit and keep it. He has lived in New York, Obioag-a, and St. Louis, and he says 81. Loiiis is the politest of the three towns, but he believes there is ample room for improve- ment everywhere. Sailors' Courtesy In New York, wiere the invasion of busi- ness offices by women at high rates of pay has rather nefofcled many men, there is admittedly an enotmo-us field for Mr. Stafford's propaganda. During the past week, according to the American newspapers, an important Jesson has fbeen taught by the sailors and marines of the European war- ships, of whom the "Evening "Mail" wrote: "They are most polite, Dever-ke,-Ping,thei-r seats when a lady enters," and thereby show- ing a good example to those American blue- jackets who have succumbed to the impolite customs of the city. In defence of New York it is represented that European visitors there only go short distances, and that a very little experience of long-distance straphanging all the way to and from business might convert them to the local practice of "first come first served," and that women who claim the same privi- leges and rights as men in business should take identically the same chances as males in public conveyances. "Thank You." Appreciative ladies are now urging the presidents of looal "women's clubs to issue a white button with the words "Thank you," to be worn by members of their sex accept- ing the courtesy- On this side of the Atlan- tic button wearing is very popular, and one more or less will not make any great difference. To tell the truth, less than 50 per cent, of the women here ever thank a man for surrendering his seat, and I find this neglect a fertile source in converting many Europeans here after a very short experience of the traffic conditions between New York and Brooklyn to stand pat and never yield an inch except to old women, fema3es with children, and sometimes to particularly good- looking women. The hard young women with only the average good looks get no more can- si deration in crowded cars than athletic youths, and it is much the same thing, as is oomplained, in all the big American cities.

Large Steel Orders I MILLS TO RUN NICHT AND DAY I Sheffield will shortly reap the benefit of seme large orders placed with Messrs. Wil- liam Cooke and Co. for steel wire rods. The capacity of the wire rod mills of the firm has been fowid totally inadequate, and a hug., mill, the largest of its kind in the country, bas been erected. In a few days the machinery will be in working order, a,n1 the whole of the old and new plant will be set running for twelve months, on the orders now on the books., There will be no cessation except for any repairs or attention to machinery necessi- tated by the strain put upon it. The orders vrhieii will occupy this time to execute represent 25,000 tons of finished material, the larges-t volume of wife rod orders ever placed in rthi-s country. The facts appear even more remarkable When it is remembered that the orders have been booked in a time of steel trade depression, and tha,t foreign competition is very keen. The -pricos obtained are quite remunerative.

NEWSVENDOR MISSING I I The Cardiff City police are "proseewt-ing inqui flies concerning the whereabouts of Albert Stagg, a, part-ally blind newsvendor, who is reported to have been missing from his home ftt M. Aberdo veynstreet, The Moors, since ten o'c&oak on Thursday morning. The fallowing description has been given by the wife:—"Aged 32; height 5f.t. 9in.; dark brown hair, fresh complexion; right eye missing, whilst left è3"'(l l also badly affected; dressed in dark mixture, tmee-d suit, black bowler hat, and btecik silk muffler.

WRIST THE SIZE OF THUMB I Two emaciated-looking girls, aged twelve. and eight respectively, attracted the noti-ce cf Police-iriepector Twigg at Enfield. They told him they were afraid to go home because their stepmother would beat them and send them up in a cold room. They eagerly accompanied him to police office, atid on the way he purchased sixpennyworth of buns, which they quickly ate. Charged yester- day under the Children Act of 1908, they v, ei-e remanded, preferring to go to the work- house. they stated, rather than to their home. The inspector mentioned that the wrist cf the eldest child was but little larger than bis thumb.

FEMININE FASHIONS I Some time ago a number of ladies in leipaig formed themselves into a league to protest against the "growing impropriety of feminine costume," and issued circulars condemning the liresent Paris fashions. The Leipzig ladies were especially shocked at the Princess and Directoire gowns, and at transparent muslin blouses, short sleeves, and straignt corsets- M- Abel Faivre, the artist, whose "Woman and Fan" was one of the pictures most admired at the last Paris salon, says in this week's "Femina" that he finds it difficult to take the Leipzig ladtes seriously. "Art in fashions, as elsewhere." he says, "is a question of truth and proportion, and the present fashions respect both. They are not immoral. The real reason why the ladies of Leipzig protest against the fashions of Paris is that in proportion, as these fashions are graceful on the slender, flexible figures of French- women, they are ridiculous on heavy and un- shapely persons."

HOUSEKEEPER'S LEGACY I Well ktiown as a, Poet. writing under the pseudonym of Surf aceman," Mr. Alexander Anderson, of Edinburgh, who began life as a qua rryman, left person&l estate valued at £ 3,457 5s- 7d., in addition to real estate of the estimated v,&I-ue of £ 200. To his housekeeper. Harriet Greenwood, the late Mr. Lesley William Alexander, Kensington, whose estate has been valued at £ 76,314, left. if she was still in his service, 1300 absolutely, and the income for life from all of his ground Tents, and from his holding in the London and South-western Railway Company and the Chelsea Waterworks Company. In the will of Mr. Herbert Edgar Birley, of Spiring hank, Manchester, who left estate valued at £18,2.37 1()6., the testator sta-ted t-hat the Rev. Joseph Wilkinson Newshoime, of Pendleton, and wiuism Blades, of Manchester, to whom S have advanced sums," are not to be charged nor claim made for such loams. He left LJMO to his secretary, Biiehard Parsons.

A MESSAGE FROM. THE SEA 1 Mr. Hector MacSinnon, of Meomsay, Skye, some months ago picked up on the shore a bottle containing- the name and address of the sender, a Tq-ronsto man, who takes an interest in the pace and direction of Atlantic currents. MT. Mackinnon forwa-rded the card to its proper address, and now semcte to the Glasgow HeraJd" the acknowledgment of his hitherto unknown -rr-pendeTi-t:- Dear Sir,—The card you found arrived here to-day. It w-a6 just 290 days at sea. It would be interesting to trace on a chart how it got across 2,800 miles at ten miles a day. I put it into the Great St. Lawrence on Friday liight, October 29, 1908, twenty males below Quebec. Many thajiks." Dr. O'Reilly sent his thanks also in another form. Mr. Mac- kinnon's library is now richer by a dozen presentation volrnrses.

RUSSIAN "RIPPER" CRIMES I Considerable excitement prevails in St. Petersburg, particularly among the women, at the perpetration of several "Jack the Ripper" crimes during the last few days. Several women have been found cruelly irurdered and mutilated, the outrages being obviously the work of the same persjM.

PARIS POLICEMEN'S HOURS I The present hours of servioe of the Paris pt lice being declared responsible for gastritis, indigestion, and other disorders, owing to the iriegular hours at which the men take their mea.ls, Mr. Lepine has decided to try a new system in three divisions of the capital. The policemen will go on and oome off duty at 6 %.M., noon, and 6 pxri., and thus will be able to have their meals and sLeep at regular times. If the system is successful it will le extended', to t-he other acrcKUKljsa^iaeflils.

Pontardulais Blast I CONDITION OF THE INJURED I The men injured in the Birch Rock Col- liery explosion, Pontardulais, yesterday, are reported to be as well as can be expected. Jenkin Williams, coUier, in an interview, said be was working in a stall about 30 yards from where the accident Occurred. He and William John Williams (his brother) were in a stall in No. 6 District, when they heard a very loud report, and then the lights JOHN WHELAN (injured). I 'went out. Hearing groons, he called out, and going in the direction of the noise found several men lying about, suffering from the effects of the explosion, and he and his com- panions helped them to a place of ea-fety. It was dark, but there were other men 20 yards away with lights. They got the six injured men to the bottom of the heading. David Rees and Arthur Williams were just a.ble to walk, but the others were carried for 50 or 100 yards to the trams and con- veyed up the slant to the surface. They had been badly burnt, and their groans were pitiable. Sbroder and M ainwaring were in a far-gone state, and etily lived an hour or SQ. In an interview one of the men working near said he heard a loud report. He and his friends immediately went to ascertain the cause, and found that an explosion had I ARTHUR WILLIAMS (injured). I occurred. The men, he said, presented an awful appearance, as the clothes of most of them were burnt and blown off their bodies, aM in the case of two-Shrooet and Main- wsriug-the -hair was clean blown off. COLLIER.Y'S IMMUNITY FJIOM I ACCIDENTS, Thefe are very few collieries where there has been euc-h immunity from accidents as at this particular colliery. The workings have not proved at all gaseous at any time, aitd it is "ta.t.OO that in the whole history of the colliery there has been but two or three fatalities, The colliery is a level, and is situate I in the Owmdulais Valley, about three miles I from Pontardulais, the workmen, numbering nearly 500. being conveyed to the colliery in ¡ wagons from a siding at Pontardulais. About 120 men were at work a.t the time, and it is fortunate that the fire did not spread. The collie,ry is worked on the pillar-and- Stall system, and the stall in which the deceased men t*«re working was nearly at the end of the heading which was being driven, and was only five or six yards in length. Out&ide of this, in the main heading, the other four men were working. The explo- sion was confined to this heading and stall. a.nd its effects were very restricted in area, a few yards covering the whole scene. No damagle appears to have been caused to the workings. There were no falls, and there does not appear to have been any after- datfip to prevent the men being immediately rescued from their precarious position. The cause of the explosion is at present un. known. The manager, Mr. D. J. Davies, who was on the scene immediately after the explosion, did all in his power for the comfort of the injured. Mr. Davies also went down and made a personal inspection, but, of course, nothing could be said an to the probable cause until the inspector of mines had paid his visit. CONDITION OF THE INJURED: I Most of the injured men were badly burnt about the face and hand's, and, naturally, suffered severely from shoek. Janes was in a critioal condition on Friday night. Wi-el&il was at internals unconscious, but hopes we.ie entertained of his recovery. It was also hoped that Williams would survive. Th" others were doing as well as oould be expected. THE INQUEST. I The inquest will be held this (Saturday) afternoon (before Mr. Glynn Price, coroner) a,t the Mechanics' Institute, Pontardulais. It is expected that only formal evidence of j,d,entificatiod will be given. CWMAMAN COLLIERY FATALITY I Mr. B. J. Rhys held an inquest a.t cwrn-I aman on Friday on the body of Samuel j.= (30), Kinsbury-?ace, Cwma.man, who died on Tuesday evening from injuries received on ( January 20 last. Deceased was employed as assistant fireman at the Cwmaman Colliery, and the evidence showed that while he was proceeding to work underground he Was overtaken by a journey of trams and was equf>e&ed against the side by projecting coal several ribs being broken. Dr. Thoiaas said that death was due to bronchitis a.nd con- gestion of the lungs, resulting from the fractured Tibs, and a verdict accordingly was returned.

PLOT AGAINST A PRINCE I An official inquiry is hemg conducted into an alleged conspiracy in Montenegro directed against Prince Nicholas. It appears that a mtmber of officers are involved, while the rich and influential Kuci and Bratonozici families are charged with being the loaders, of the movement. The intention of the con- spirators was to depose Prince Nicholas, expel him from the country, and make Prince Danilo grant a new Constitution to the land. It is stated that the Prince is on bad terms i with his father, "whom he suspects of a desire to set him aside and make a younger brother heir to the fiirone. The Prinoe says he knew nothing of the conspiracy in his favour.

CAERPHILLY REVISION COURT I Sir,—I ahou-M like toO corree,t a mistaken impression which may have been conveyed by your report of the 29th inst. of the above court. The temporary absence cf the assis- tant overseer of the parish of Pent-yroh from the court was due to the fact that he had been summoned to appear Wore the special sessions of t.he justices at Pontypridd to swear the new jury list for the parish, and it was, of course, physically imivo-oi-hie-tor him to alipear at both courts at one and the sa.m-e time. His lists were quite prepared for the Caerphilly Couft. and have since been duly revised. This cxp-1-anation is neces- I sary in justice to the assistant overseer, as it might be inferred that he wa.§ rernies in his duties, which is quite inf"-rre,-A.-T am &C-, &c-, E. J.

Censorship of Plays I JOINT COMMITTEE'S DECISION I The Joint Committee of the Houses of Par- lia.ment which has been investigating the question of the censorship of plays has arrived at its decision. The main points are as follow:- Mr. Bedford is vindicated. The principle of the censorship remains. Music-hall sketches come under the super vision of the censor.

Taken Like Water I ALCOHOLIC DRINKING IN FRANCE The excessive consumption of spirits in France is, according to several medical men who have recently given voice to their opinions, on3 of the main reasons for the now prevailing in France. Less than 50 years ago Frenchmen con- sumed per head annUlally less than .31 pints of alcohol. To-day the average adult French- man drinks 70 pints of spirits at lOOdeg. of ■strength—that, is, almost equivalent to 165 pints (if bra ndy-a y-3ar. Thirty years ago Prance contained a wine- shop or c-afe for every log inhabitants (says a "Daily Mail'' correspondent). To-day theila is OD-e for, every 40. Liquor-selling establishments' in Paris number 30,000, while London, whose popula- tion is more t.han dcuibi'e, lias- only 6.000. Dr. Bertillon, the head of the M u nie ipal statis- tical Department, says there are T,378,003 dis- tilleries in France. In some parts of the country the people take alcohol as others drink water, consuming nearly two pints daily. An alarming aspect of this question is the rapid strides made in ahslnithe drink- ing, and the fact that children are becoming familiar with. the poison. Of a class of 49 puioils 30 recently aciknow- ledged t.hat they had tasted absinthe, and in a class -of 63 children between six and nine years of age 24 admitted they were given brandy every day. Wherever the consump- tion of spirits has increased the drinking of wine has decreased.

A Shortage in Wool I CLOTHES TO BE DEARER NEXT YEAR I All clothes in which wool forms any part are likely to be dearer next spring owing to the excessively high prices which are being obtained for the raw material just now. The rise ni the price, which has ranged from 10 to 15 per cent, on practically all grades of wool, has been occasioned by a shortage in supplies which hi s suddenly j arisen at the end of the season. The fifth aeries of Colonial sales at the Coleman-steret Wool Exchange, which concluded yesterday. saw many sharp advances in merinos and orossbreds. I The demand for the wool offered was good and few parcels "were withdrawn. In many cases oompetition was extremely fierce. Though it is not likely that woollen goods will by raised in price to any appreciable extent during the coming winter, the present prices now obtained will Certainly affect next sprign's goods. It is pfrs«sible t.hat a few shillings will be put on by manufacturers in the case of those few reta-ii-ers who have not yet ordered their winter stock. For a pnre, woollen suit for next spring the wearer will have to pay a.t least another 10s. Since merino woollesn are of a very fine quility and largely used for women's wear, a arked advance in ladies' wearing apparel may also be expected at the beginning- of 1910.

WILLIE TREW'S INJURY I Willie Trew visited the Swansea football field on Thursday, and watched his club- mates practise. He is about to see o specialist, and it is interesting to learn that five or six years ago, when the original injury took place, he was told that he would not be able to play again, so that there is reason to look on the bright side. Willie is anxious to play, and it must be very gratify- ing to him to have received letters from practically every football club in England and Wales and also individual playei-s. He has Heceived ma.ny accidents, and all sports- men must wish him a hasty recovery. Jack Bancroft Rumour Untrue Mr. A. M.

A WONDERFUL ORCHARD I There is a remarkable bijou orchard attached to the police-station at East Mode^ey that just now is attracting consider- able notice. The ground has an area of only about twenty rods, and yet it contain-s no fewer than 35 varieties of apples, all of the best sorts, ten varieties of pears, 22 varieties of gooseberries,- as well as over a hundred varieties of ro. The fruit trees are grown in the pyramid form, and the fruit, which is tended solely by Stat ion-sergeant Rodwell and Police-constable Beck in their spare time, is grown to such perfection that it has taken first prizes wherever it has been shown.

On the 17th a discovery was made Thomas William Short,, of Hammersmith, said he had been keeping company with the young woman for seven years. He was married and she knew it. His wife also knew of the circumstances. The Coroner: It seems like a family arrange- ment. You said your wife agreeable, but I should doubt it.

"DEAD" RETURNS TO LIFE A workman named iStuewer was dis- covered unconscious in a street in Berlin yesterday morning, and was taken in a cab by a policeman to the nearest hospital. The doctor, finding that the man's heart and pulse we-re motionless and the body stiff and cold, pronoimced him to be dead, and filled up the death certificate. Thereupon the bo4y was taken to the mortuary, and after t-he clothes had been removed and the supposed corpse had lain thers some time, the right hand, to the custodian's horror, was feebly raised. Then a movement of the other a.rm followed, and a doctor Tvas summoned, who rendered the necessary assistance. Ntuewer was put into a warm bed, where he is re- covering. though unable yet to give an account of himself.

SOUTH AFRICA'S GARRISON I I understand that Genera l Botha. bad several discussions with the Home Govern- ment 011 the withdrawal of the British garrison from. South Africa (writes the Londo-n oarre-spondent of the J>aiiy Dis- patch.") The Government is very anxious to bring home a oonsiderab-le portion, if not all of the regular troops a-t present quartered there. Their argument is that South Africa, having* been constituted a self-governing community, should at once undertake its own defence, or, at any rate, relieve Great Britain of the present cost of tnain-taining a force of ritish aoldiers in the oountry, as is done by other oversea dependencies. Ceylon, for instance, pays £ 87,500 for her garrison, the Straits Settlements £ 205,000, and Hong Kong £ 100,COO. The view advanced by the Home Government was that 6coluth Africa, should either arrange to do likewise or undertake the provision of -its own defence. In reply, General Bot<ha made an appeal for timo. He argued that the newness of their political machinery and the &n- organised condition of their resoTtroes pre- cluded the possibility of any immediate assumption of such « financial burden, or of South Africa's provision for her adequate military protection as speedily itS was suggested.

Welsh Disappointed MATCH WITH SUMMERS POSTPONED Just when the boxing world was making arrangements to see perhaps the greatest contest. of the coming eeason, we have the unwelcome news that on the date originally fixf"{I-OCtoher 18—the match cannot take place (says the "Sporting Life" While the la.rge tnumber of members of the National Sporting Club who ha-d booked their seats in pleasurable anticipation of seeing a great match are to be I:Ollpathj",e-d with on account of the disappoimmerit, the parties most to be commiserated with a,re. Mi-. A. F. Bettinson and his committee and Freddie Welsh, who are ill no way responsible for the awkward hitch. It appears that, while Fred Welsh had begun getting the rough edges off himself preparatory to the stricter tiaining, Johnny Summers had tound that hi,s music-hall engagements extended linger by a fortnight tnan he had anticipated they would. When the time came -for him to go into training, he found that he had stall fourteen days of his engageirents to fulfil. He was feeling far from 'We.l, and thought tha-t a short rest would put him right; b'ut an appeal to be relieved of his engagements met with a refusal, and he had perfoi-ce to send a mes- sage to headquarters to say that the match would have to be postponed. Very naturally this ca-me like a bomtshell, but there was yet hope that matters might be arranged. -Air. Bettinson paid a visit to Summers, who reiterared his desire to meet Welsh. The unexpired part of his contract, however, pre- vented him. Fred Welh wag communicated with, and the Welshman, needless to say, was greatly upset on receiving the news. Fred had set his mind on that championship belt, and it is believed that he had made considerable financial sacrifices to be ready for the oi-d-eal on Octo-ber 18. However., a.fter the situation had been discussed a-t the club, Mr. Bettin- son, Mr. Harry Marks, and Mr. ReeveE (Summers's manager) being in consultation, the telegraph ivir-e was again brought into requisition, a,nd a date a fortnight later than that originally fixed was suggested to Summers.

Miners and Inspector QUESTION TO BE ASKED IN PARLIAMENT A meeting of the Executive Committee of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held oat Cardiff to-day. Mr. W. Brace, M.P., presiding, in the absence of Mr. W. Abraham. M.P. (Mab.on). who is indisposed. Mr. A. Onions (treasurer) and Mr. T. RichlJiIXb, M.P. (secretary) were also present. A vcte of sympathy was passed with the families cf the workmen killed and injured in the explosion at Pontardulais ■ yesterday, A leter was received from the secretary of Ruskin College, asking the Council to receive a deputation to put- the present position of the college before them. It was resolved that a. reply be sent that as the Council does not contribute to tbe college direct, but through the d is trie t lodges, the secre- tary be asked to communicate with the dis- tricts of fhe Federation. The report was received of a deputation that had met a deputation of the Engine- men's and Stokers' Association with a view of discussing the terms cf the prop-cted workin,g arrangement between the two •bodies. Nothing definite was done, and it was decided that a further mee,ting be arranged. A complaint was received from the Llan- hilieth CoUiery workmen through the Mon- mouth and Western Valleys District to the effect that the mines inspector had informed the inarlagement of the colliery of a request made by the workmen that he should pay a visit to the colliery. The workmen always understood that such communications were treated in confidence by the inspectors. It was reaolved that the Federation members raise the matter in the House of Commons at the earliest possible moment. The question of the inductria.l book having been placed for signature by the workmen at the Abercarn Colliery was referred to the Conciliation Board.

SAILOR ASSAULTS SAILOR At Cardiff to-day Fritz George Wueff (33), sailor, was eeptenced to a month's imprison- m-enlt for assaulting another seafaring man, named Johan Olsen. The latter, at eleven o'clock on the previous night, was in South ChuTch-st rcct t and was accosted by Wueff, who knocked him down and then kicked him in the head. The injury thus inflicted. Dr. J. J. BtÜst sai4, extended nearly to the bone.

UNKNOWN BODY IN CANAL Mr. Ho-wel Cuthbertson held an inquest at Neath to-day touching the death of an un- known man of the tra-m.p class, whose body was found in the Ten-naw Canal, near the Dynevor Engineering Works, early tihs inorming.

HOCKEY. MR. J. RALPH WILLIXI. V. TRFJO-RKY H.C. The visit of a team, consisting of five internationals, and the remainder from Cardiff, Xe-n port, and Swan- sea, captained by J.

The homesters. although ont-played by their more experienced opponents, gave of their best to the end. Final score:—Mr. Williams's XI., S goals; Treorky, 1 q oaJ. g;¡;e home eleven played a very hard came, and it would be unfair to individually any for special com- mendation.

THE CENSUS OF 1911 I Preliminary arrangements are being made for the next census of the population of the United Kingdom, which will be taken in 1911. The first step is to study in detail the methods empl'ed in countries where a census has been Taken in 1091. and to pick out any im- provements applicable to our own system. The ceni.is department of the Registrar- General is already busy consideragin. the ways and means of counting the forty or fifty million of peofile in the United Kingdom, and sorting them out according to their rispective occupations, age, and homes. The staff at the census department is at present comparatively small, but it will grow stage by stage, and occupy more rooms as the great time approaches Within a few months of th-; census-taking thousands of enumera- tors will be appointed, and their business will be to question householders on every imaginable point. The task of classifying the enormous hulk of information obtained will be carried out in special buildi'igs. and eventually the figures will be condensed, so as to be sufficiently compact to go into fifty- six great Tolumes-the index of the nation. • i

LOST DIAMOND RING I Further evidence w?s ?T€.n at CToydan y('S_I, terda^ in connücHon with the charge against a eixten-y ear-old van-boy, named Frank 'PI'l., of sta.ling a diamond ring, worth £ 50. b&)<?n?n& to Mrs. Po-n.tdng. of Kenley. Penis sold the ring for twopence to another van- boy, and it wai- through a carma.ii showing it to a pawnbroker's assistant that the value of the ring became known, and the accused was arrested. The carman, irritated because his boy spent time looking at this ring, and did not work, advised him to "throw the thing away." Several men were shown the ring, bat not one of them seemed to guess that it wae valuable. Ut's, Ponti ng now said the ring was well packed in the centre of a tray. art-d covered with clothing. when put into the tru.nk. The trunk wa-s locked, and also strapped, o-n leaving Felixstowe, bu.t when delivered at her hotMo one side of t.he lid woe torn sufficiently to allow a. s-mall hand to be inserted.
