£5,639. Ten Days to Xmas. Have You Sent Your Donation. Another Big Day for the Fund. [Send your contribution to-night to the hon. treasurer, Mr. David Roberts, J.P., 61, Wind-street, Swansea.] The Widows' and Orphans' (and Children's Summer Home) Fund is for the widows and children of ALL Swansea men who have fatten in the war, cither on land or sea. It is necessary to state this because we understand it is not thoroughly rea- lised in a few quarters that the scope I of the fund is so extended. I GIFTS-BIG AN SMALL. I As our readers will see from the list gi ven below, the week-end has been very iruitful for the fund. We have to ac- knowledge with deep gratitude a cheque lor F.100 from Messrs. John and David oiasbrook, and a large number of other most gratifying contributions, of which Retails are given. There are, however, some contributions in respect of which we ought to say a few words. STREET COLLECTIONS. I Mr. Stanley H. George, for instance, comes along with a freewill gift from the occupiers of l-tW, baptist Well-street, in- cluding flail-terrace, collected by him on j Sa<:ur<?y afternoon. In enclosing th? j amount, MP. George says:—" It was very j gratifying to see the splendid response j that 1 had from every house I visited, it i is only a working-class district, and I liope t no amount collected from this street will stimulate others and cause a com- petitive spirit, which would increase the iund. What one street in 6wansea can do. others should follow, with still larger amounts. „ if attests are desirous of following ta i., xu 1 f TTTiii 1*1 exajuple'. we shall do our best to obtain boxes for the collections, but if there are not sufficient, we hope inhabi- tants will overcome the difficulty among I themselves. THE WORKS' HELP. I We have to acknowledge the contribu- tion ox the employees 01 the Cwmbwria Ifini,lat, Works. Mr. Jti. T. Hughes iLi- forIL15 us that the men have coniriouted no less a sum than thirteen guineas, ivhich is a great lead to the other works 01 the town.

OPERA TICKETS. I An interesting oiler comes froll:k III-. Toni Byrne, 01 the Uraiwi Theatre, who Vrites to the hon. secretary as follows:— "As you are doubtless aware, there is a great run on tne seats for the AmuteUr Operatic Society's performance of The "\«omen of the Guard," and everybody ap- ■nirs to be keen on being present on I'riday evening.

The Lord Chief Justice in giving judg- ment said the appellant was employed by David Jones, former, who owned a valu- able mare worth a hundred and fifty pounds. Appellant had worked on the iariti in June. lie wanted to work the mare, but the furme,- eaid she was too wild for him. Appellant teemed to have objected to tha.t. and said if he colild not work her, he would put her so that no one else could wortc her. He was dis- missed. Some days later the mare showed lameness. On being examined, two nails were found driven up one hoof, and one rail up another hoof. The mare was an absolute cripple. It was impossible that the. nails could have got there by accident. They must have been driven in malici- ously. Appellant was arrested .and two nails were found on him similar to the nails found in the mare. He did not give evidence at the trial, and there was ample evidence on which the jury could convict him. It was difficult to 6ee how they could come to any other conclusion. The appeal wa- dismissed.

] TO BOND HOLDERS. Swansea Harbour Trust Circular. I The Swansea Harbour Trust's circular to its bond-holders and mortgage-holders on the financial situation, issued on Satur- day, is on the lines indicated by Mr. Roger Beck's speech to the Trustees on Monday and of the forecast in the columns. It also says, what has not been previously disclosed, that in the event of a, receiver being necessary, Mr. P. W. Phillips (the general manager) ie willing to act in that capacity without remunera- lion. The circular reads:— j I THE CIRCULAR. J I Swansea Ha.rbour Trust Offices, Swan- sea, December 15th, 1919.-Dear Sir or Madalue,-lt is with great regret tho Trustees have to announce that tuey will not be able to meet i the haii.-v e a ,a in-, terest payable on their stocks and mort- I gages on the 1st January next. This un- fortunate position is due to the disastrous effect of the war upon the trade of the port, checking as it did its increasing prosperity. "The trustees think it is right that they should explain to the stock and mort- gage holders the unique position in which Swansea im placed in .:ompa.dwn with aome of the other ports of the Bristol Channel. Soon after the outbreak of hos- tilities these up-Channel ports, which were railway owned, that is to say, where railway and docks were under the same ownership, were taken over by the Gov- ernment under the Regulation of Forces Act, 1871, but as Swansea Harbour had no railway other than its sidings and lines I adjacent with the docks, it was not in l the I same way taken over, and although the Trustees had done all in their power to induce the Government to place Swansea I in the same position as that of the porth I referred to, their efforts had met with no I success. I A CONFIDENT HOPE. The Trustees confidently hope that the extremely important lettings already I made, and other recent developments now I in course of being carried out, will have the effect of eventually restoring the port to its former prosperity. As the time will eoon arrive when a I receiver may have, to be appointed, the Trustees venture to propose, with a view of saving expense to the Trust, that the office should be filled by their general manager (Mr. P. W. Pliillips,), whose ex- perience and intimate knowledge of the business specially fit him for the posi- I tion. He has expressed his willingness to I act without remuneration, and as it would be of assistance to the trustees they would ask of you if you will kindly i sign and return the enclosed form stating I whether you are in favour of or against, the proposal.

A NIGHT Wr BURNS.
A NIGHT Wr BURNS. Lecture at the Free Library. At the Public Library on Saturday evening, the Rev. George Mc.Luckie lectured on Barns, dealing with his sub- ject as only a fellow Scot could. Coun. A. Lovell presided over a full attendance The lecturer opened by saying that Burns wrote a very large number of his poems and songs in the Doris, a dialect closely allied to the Anglo-Saxon, and not to be confused with the Gaelic, and then spoke of the main incidents in the life of the poet. Born in a clay built cottage in 1759 near the town of Ayr, within a week of his birth the cottage collapsed and the babe and his mother had to be carried through the storm to safety. Burns' life was a hard one, he > being the only assistant Ijjs father, a J small crofter, had. The poet, said the lecturer, was fortunate in his father, n'hom he immortalised in The Cotter's i Saturday Night." Burns was muoh im- pressed by two books, the life of Han- nibal, awl the stoittff Wallace, and the influence of these efi&Sli 6aW be traced in many of his poems. At the age -of sixteen he had his first falling in love/* nd also his first attempt at rit-ing iOetrr— love and poetry began at one and the same time. To a copy of Fergiu- sobs Scottish poetry must be given the credit for \vak,n< £ up liurns to the know- i-jdge of his gift. and it was only the success of his first book of poetry that stopped Burns leaving Scotland for a position in the slave plantations of Jamica. The lecturer also gave in inimitable style various -"l«"tions from the poem, and ballads of Burns.
