IN AND AliOUND BARRY. Tb<-> cnoci'il meetins of the Local Board on Turmo°°D"o'SrS -representing the Commons Committee who have taken an infinite amount of trouble abou„ the whole question of the Cadoxton _<amu naturally anxious that something s as soon as possible. Notice must e 0 • three succcssive weeks prior to the Is CK- and if the question was aojourped meeting of the board there would be bu, barely 0 sufficient time to uo anything with the Commons this year. Mr. G(^ Thomas, who is fast becoming the "Old Morality of the Local Board, talked of "his duty to the ratepayers.'7 The question, he said, might invoke the expenditure of a lot mone\.and e\ery eilor should be'made to discover the easiest and cheapest Way of taking it over. Mr. W. Thomas the economist, of Yere-street. didn't want the Com- mon to be taken over at all. It was quite good enough as it was, and it be would simply throwing money away to do anything to it. Mr. Barstow, Whose mind, 111'. Thomas said, was of a highei calibre than his." asked some questions of the doctor Mr. John Robinson wanted time to consult his 0; friends." and Mr. Meggitt wished to know What powers the Board of Agriculture could give the Local Board for the management of the Com- mon under the Act of 1876. Bowing 0 e in- evitable Dr. O'Donnell seconded a resolution ot Mr. George Thomas, that the whole question be referred back to the Commons Committee to make further inquiries. Mr. G-arnett. '• the stern economist," is going to alter his tactics; I know that the spendthrift Public authorities of the district will exult when thev hear that the stern, uncorrupted Roman will no longer beard them in their den. u the poor suffering ratepayers? They will be as sheep having no shepherd they will now become the helpless prey of devouring wolves. On Tues- day nifht there was a meeting of the Burial Board and. as is well known, Mr. Garnett is a member He is not one of those men who seek the suffrao-es of his fellow-ratepayers and then shine the responsibility of the position Xo! he is always at his post, and so he was on Tuesday night. There was nothing strange 1ll his appearance; nothino- in his face or bearing to show his apostasy. Throughout the meeting he seemed to be true to his economical principles, till suddenly- ^nm hunger srot the better of him. and he sola his bi th- right—of being the economist of the district not for a mess of potage. but for the cesire o one. He told the members in plaintive tones that public bodies were' not well treated in this distiiCc. (And so say the Local Board). "How is that," asked somebody. \Yhy, in America, he said, when public bodies meet ana spend a lot of time in the service of the public, they get a good feed before they part." "Dsar llie." exchimccl several members at once, "how iiiee it would be to be there. We want something cheer us up in a Burial Board. But who pays forthte feed Oh.that is paid for from the rates. How are the mighty fallen from their high estate 1 grieve to think that no longer shall I hear words °f scathing criticism of the enormous expenditure of the Local Board from Mr. Garnett; his voice ^"ill l\en ceforth be mute even in the Ratepayers ■Association. For how can one who ac.vocates the ^Pending of monev on sumptuous dinners for mem- Ws of local bodies refuse to grant a well-earned Sahry to a hard-worked official ? Journalists, and even those among them who Sit in luxurious ease in editorial cnairs, are popularly and often rightly supposed to be an l!ilpeeunious lot. but it is seldom that one heais it plainly insinuated as it was 011 Monday at the y^Uarth Police-court. A man named Tottuey J°hnson was charged with non-payment or tne ^°or rate and the district rate. The constable the collector gave evidence, and the magis- trates were just going to give an order for the Payment of the rates, when the chairman was heard to say, I can't understand how these people can't pay rates without coming here." After a pause he turned to the clerk and asked, Is he that man who is connected with the South Wales Daily News ?" "No, your worship, that is Mr. Sonley Johnstone." What's in a name ? The majestic Sonley to be taken for the plebeian, non-ratepaying Tomley and the editor of the fate compelling, thunder armed, irresistible Bail I/ .Yc'irs, to be confused with a mere ordinary citizen. After this, every editor should, like the bards, assume a pseudonym, Newspaper men in this district have been dubbed by their Cardiff brothers "—who, of course, look to journalistic amenities most punctiliously — perfect Eatanswill journalists." Whatever truth may be in this—I am sure I have not laid myself open, to such a charge—I think none of us have reached the high level of a Transvaal paper, the Standard and JJhjjiers New, from which I take the following :— The reprehensible and totally uncalled-for style of journalistic criticism which of late has, Upas-tree like, raised its Medusa head in Johannesburg, demands the reprobation of all right-minded men. Coarse invective has never yet supplied, and never will supply, the place of argument. Foul insinuations, having not the slightest foundation in fact, and an only too openly apparent display of petty and puerile spite on the part of these six-line-skip-jack scribble: st mark this guttersnipe journalism as the outcome of a leprous mental condition which needs excision from our midst right away." Both our local football clubs were unfortunate in their tussles last Saturday, the District Club going under to the 1 Grange town Fifteen, and Barry being beaten by Cogan. I am sure this will only tend to nerve our men to a determination to stick together and endeavour to secure victory on every occasion they don the jersey again this season. I understand that both teams experienced decidedly hard lines last Saturday; indeed, the District Fifteen very nearly succeeded in scoring on moic than one occasion. Ours is a go-ahead and plodding- district, and I am sure this will be characteristic of our football clubs too. Then, again, the saying "Barry luck" has long b2en proverbial. May our footballers abundantly share it this season. On the ball, forwards may you heel out often to the halves, and enable the latter to give the three- quarters plenty to do A letter appeared in a contemporary last week praising that journal as an advertising medium. The name and address of a local gentleman was appended, and there was an editorial foot-note attached to the effect that very many letters of a similar character were being constantly re- ceived," or words to that effect. I can easily ceived," or words to that effect. I can easily believe it; for the gentleman in question says he never wrote such a letter. Monday next is the annual Penarth licensing day, and a goodly number of applications will be mode from this district. In glancing down the list I notice that an application is to to be made for a license for a new hotel now being erected at Palmerstown. If the license is granted what a salve it will be for the trouble and annoyance the inhabitants have been put to about their water supply. But probably if a license is wanted any- where it is wanted at Palmerstown. The in- habitants are almost completely cut off through the lack of road communication from the Cadox- ton district. To come to Cadoxton, the inhabi- tant has to risk being cut to pieces by crossing a railway line where coal trains are proceeding backwards and forwards the whole day, or walk all the way round to Colebrooke and come through Cadoxton village, or, which is just as long a journey, all the way round Cadoxton Moors. The inhabitants of Palmerstown have a right to be considered when some of the good things which arrive with the progress of civilization are shared around.

Mr. Davies read the number of attendances made by the members during the past three months, and also the accounts, which, we arc pl(,lseclto say, were in n. very satisfactory condi- tion. THE CADOXTON COMMONS QCESTIOX. The counsel whom the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board consulted in reference to the acquiring of Cadoxton Common is Mr. Alexander Glen, New Court Temple, London.

A NEW WESLEYAN CHAPEL FOR BARRY DOCK. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONES. Under very auspicious circumstances, the foundations of a new Wesleyan School Chapel for the populous neighbourhood of Holton, Barry Dock, were successfully laid on Wednesday after- noon. The weather was delightfully fine and summerlike, consequently the attendance at the interesting' ceremony was a very large one. Amongst those present were several raejibers of the denomination from Cardiff, Penarth, and other places, the local supporters of the cattse being also present in goodly numbers.. The new building, which will cost altogether about £ 1,000, and will seat over 400 persons, is being erected by Mr. Henry Davies, Cardiff, from plans prepared by Mr. E. Axten, Barry. It is situate on the HOltOll- road in close proximity to the Welsh Independent Chapel. Land has been secured close by for the chapel proper, which will be constructed when the cause has been sufficiently long established and the necessary funds allow. A special platform had been erected for the accommodation of those attending the ceremony, but owing to the large attendance this proved too small, large numbers taking up positions in the roadway. Several large flags floated gaily from the scaffolding. Included in those present were noticed:—Alderman W. Sanders, J.P.. Cardiff; Revs. P. Neville Andrews. Chairman of the District; F. W. Lowrie, H. Graham Payn, resident minister J. II. Hodgson. B.A., Pcnarth — Jenkins, Independent minister of the circuit: J. Honey, B.Lrry Dock (Bible Christian) Mr. and Mrs. II. Frazer, Penarth Mr. and Mrs. H. Wallis Mr. and Mrs. Padfield, Canton; Mr. and Mrs. George Sanders. Cardiff; Mrs. Lowdon, Barry Mr. and Mrs. Smith-Jones, and Messrs. B. Lewis, Palmerstown J. J. Moon, H.L.Jones (regis- trar). A. E. Leyshon, W. Hodge, A. Sandey, J. Lloyd. Cadoxton E.Lewis (contractor's manager), G. G. Glover (foreman of the work), etc., etc. A devotional service commenced with the singing of the appropriate hymn. This stone to Thee in faith we lay," after which the Rev. F. W. Lowrie offered a short prayer asking the Divine blessing upon the. work of Christ in that neigh- bourhood, and upon the inhabitants and district generally. The Rev. J. Honey having read the 34th Psalm, commencing, How amiable are Thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of hosts," another hymn was sung-, when the stone-laying was commenced. Miss Annie Frazer and Master Joseph Fraser (011 behalf of Miss Gertrude Frazer) performed the customary ceremony of Laying the first stone, both children saying aloud at its conclusion, We declare this stonc to be woll and truly laid, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost." Each then placed a cheque of £ 25 on the stone. Another stone was then laid by the Misses Rosalie and Edith Cory (cousins), two cheques of zC25 also being laid on the stone in this case. Very hand- some volumes of books were then presented to the four children in commemoration of the services they had rendered. Twenty-two "guinea" stones were then laid, each donor being a recipient of a Wesley medal. A large number afterwards par- took of tea in the neighbouring Bible Christian Schoolroom, kinqly lent for the occasion, the following ladies presiding and assisting at the several long tables :—Mrs. and Miss Handon. Mrs. and Miss Price. Mrs. Handcock, Mrs. Smith-Jones, Mrs. Franks. Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs^Hodge, Miss Miles. Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Flowers, Mrs. Whatlcy, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs. Thomas, and Mrs. Brown. The room presented a very pleasing appearance, several large flags giving it a very attractive appearance. Ten very pretty tea ser- vices were used on the tables. A special word of praise is due to Mr. W. Hodge, who undertook the management of the serving of the tea. In the evening a largely-attended public meeting was held, when several addresses bearing on the note- worthy event of the day were delivered by various ministers and laymen. Collections were made during the day, substantial amounts being realised towards the building fund.
ENTERPRISE OF A BARRY TIMBER MERCHANT, As we have already announced in these columns, Mr. F. E. Aitken, timber merchant, Barry Dock, has recently established in connection with his large and growing business the useful and neces- sary industry of firewood making. We feel sure that the remarkable proof of true business enter- prise exhibited by Mr. Aitken will find abundant support at the hands of the numerous householders in the district. In order that the industry might be carried out in the most expeditious,, thorough, and practical manner, Mr. Aitken has purchased a powerful patent firewood splitting machine, capable of turning out no less than, 24,000 bundles per day. or 144.000 bundles per week, but for the present the bundling will be confined to 30,000 per week, Mr. Aitken being determined to keep pace with the growing requirements of the neighbour- hood in proportion to the growth of the demand. In conjunction with the splitting machine there are in course of erection, eight appliances for the formation and tying of bundles, which, when com- pleted, will be adequate to turn out 70,000 or 80.000 bundles. The firewood be cut in five different sizes, varying from five-eighths of an iuch z, square (six inches long) upwards, and the machine is driven with power from a 10-h.p- engine, which also works the sawing machinery on the premises. Mr. Aitken intends laying down a 20-h.p. engine almost immediately, and adding planing machinery to the existing plant. The firewood will be sold at remarkably cheap rates, and in quantities to suit all classes of consumers, so that Mr. Aitken's foresight and enterprise are sure to meet with a liberal response from the public of the district,
CUB lIUNTING AT ST. PAGANS. On Monday the Glamorganshire pack were cub hunting at St. Fagan's, and W. Cady, the head keeper, is to be congratulated upon the fine show of foxes on Lord Windsor's estate. The first draw was the brake adjoining the keeper's house, and here several cubs were quickly on foot. After a ring or two between the little coverts, first one and then a second of the young 'uns had to pay the penalty. Ccedygof was then drawn, and the hounds getting on an old dog fox, who made tracks for the Garth, the pack were stopped as soon as Cox. the huntsman, and Harry could reach them. Returning to the cubs two or three were put up, and after a ring round the Water-hall bottom, one afforded a gallop as far as Coed-y-Buchan and back twice over, and was killed near the Graig. It now being middle-day, and scents a vanishing quantity, Cox having well rattled the cubs on the north side of the railway, decided to leave off and take the grentt wood, kc., on another morning. There were a few gentlemen out, including Messrs. C. H. and G. C. Williams". H. Watson, W. Forrest, and General Watson. Mr. R. Forrest was unable to be present, being absent from home. I'J8¡

MAJOR E. R. JONES. Last week, in its article on the Pontypridd Disestablish Conference, the Bauer said that Major Jones's speech was the most eloquent that was delivered, and the writer advised any Welsh con- stituency which had the chance to elect the Major as its representative. The official Liberals of Eng- land seem to think as highly of Major Jones. In any case, he is one of the two who have been selected to lay the case of Wales against the Eng- lish Church in Wales at the great Liberal Conference which will shortly take place at New- castle. Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P."for Mid-Glamorgan, is the other delegate.
A BARRY PILOT NEGLECTS HIS WIFE, IS ORDERED TO PAY AT BIIID&EXD POLICE COURT.

ALLEGED INDECENT ASSAULT AT PENARTH. At the Penarth magistrates' clerk's office, Car- diff. on Wednesday. George Edmunds, foremait builder, Cardiff, was charged before Mr. Corbett with indecentiy assaulting Florence Thomas, a girl of 15, but who appeared to be much younger.— Police-constable John Salter (259) said that that morning, at 10.45, he was 011 duty on Penirth Cliffs, where he saw the prisoner walking along in front of the girl, who was in charge of a perambula- tor. When lie looked he saw the prisoner with the girl in his arms, and behaving indecently. When charged he replied, All right." In defence, prisoner said that he had no intention of indecently assault- ing the girl. She was picking blackberries, and the bush being a high one, he raised her in his arms, so that she might reach them. When asked by the Clerk whether there was a blackberry bush near the spot, the constable replied that they were standing against one the girl also had a small bucket in her hand, which, he supposed, was to contain the berries. He asked her what the prisoner had been doing to her,, and she said '•Nothing."—After a short consultation, Mr. Corbett said that they had decided to believe the prisoner's statement, and would discharge him. They were also of opinion that the policeman had only done his duty.

FOOTBALL. BARRY AND CADOXTON DISTRICT v. GRANGETOWN. This match was played at Cadoxton last Satur- day, and resulted in a win for Grangetown by a try to three minors. This was the first match of the newly-formed District Club. They played an up-hill game all through, and certainly had hard lines in not scoring on two occasions. They have -.nine good fixtures on, and, with practice, should turn out a very good team. They have two or three open dates. COGAS 1ST V. BARRY 1ST. These clubs played at Cogan last Saturday, the match resulting in a win for the home team by one try and two minors to nil. H. E. Harris secured the try for Cogan in good style, but the same player failed at the place kick. However, the attempt was a good one. The play on both sides was somewhat erratic, but Cogan, perhaps, had the btSst of the play throughout. Teams :— Cogan BjLck. T. W. Griffiths three quarter-backs. W. HarrS, H. E. Harris. A.

DRS. HERBER EVANS AND JOHN THOMAS AT BRIDSEND, Xever are Welshmen more at ease except when enjoying the prospect of a rich treat in gospel preaching. The visit of Dr. Herber Evan2, presi- dent-elect of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, and Dr. John Thomas, of Liverpool, brought tho real consumation of pro- iniscd fruitfulness. On Sunday last Dr.Evans com- menced the anniversary services at the English Congregational Chapel, Bridgend. They were con- ducted throughout hythepastor of the church (Rev. G. Jones) for whose respect we have high regard. The morning services on Sunday was well attended. Contrary to arrangements, Dr. Evans, it was rumoured, would preach, and this drew a large congregation. After the induction by the Rev. J. Gwilym Jones. Dr. Evans preached, taking his text from the 73th Psalm, 5 to 8 verses. His discourse was generally to the building of a Christian character for the young people, which should always begin at homo-making known the law of their fathers to the children. The Sunday schools of this country would prove an ultimate curse, he said. if the teaching of the children in the _way they should go was neglected at home, with the idea that they were sufficiently taught there. Then, as to the words that the generation to come might know them," the teaching was to be passed from parents to children from them again to their children: and following in the same way. He would be sorry to see the day in Wales when this work would pass from religious mothers to Sunday School teachers. There was 110 better teaching than precept, and it was always observed in a religious home. In the evening the sacred edifice was literally packed. Dr. Evans based his discourse from the words contained in Hebrew ii., 8 and 9. and eloquently and unflinchingly attacked the argu- ments of heretics, besides those relating to the divinity of Christ. Greater statements as to the ware of heresy in the world coukl not, he said, be needed than a sentence in a recant book by an illustrious traveller that throughout his travels he had failed to observe a new heathen temple. Fol- lowing, he appealed earnestly for them to see Jesus as the only way to salvation. The whole audience were almost spell-bound before the noble eloquence of the preacher, his characteristic warmth being significantly displayed. On Monday evening the pulpit was al:o occupied by the Rev. John Thomas, D.D.. who followed Dr. Evans with a Welsh sermon. Both were again heard, to advantage. The Rev. W. Oscar Owen read in English and offered prayer in Welsh, The congregation was again very large, persons attending from almost every village in the surrounding neighbourhood. Collections had been made at the close of each service towards the liquidation of the Chapel debt. The singing of the choir, eoTsdueted by Mr. J. G. Jenkins, was very good. Master Willie Davies, Coity-road. pre- sided at the organ. The two rev-gentlemen journeyed to Trooes the following morning to take part in the jubilee services of the establishment of the Welsh Inde- pendent Chape! at that place. Conveyances were observed from all parts of the Vale, while a large number attended' from the adjoining valleys. These services were-conducted wholly in Welsh by the Rev. Stephen Jones, pistor. The interior ot' the building has very recently been repainted and otherwise improved, and. looks both neat and com- fortable. Dr. Thomas read and prayed at the commencement earnestly invoking the mishtv presence of Gael in their midst to effect marvellous work. Dr. Evans preached from the text 2nd King iv. 8 to 33. There- were (he said) three character sin these paragraphs in relation to G-od. First, they had a great. woman without a word mentioned of her religion, yet her f-tith could be read. She was the first truly religious woman that the word said nothing about regard- ing her faith or religion. Secondly, they had a man there professing to have much religion with- out a grain of it—a real hypocrite—-G-ahazi. Then they had a man of God worthy of the name. The rev. gentleman was going to speak particularly to the women, and he believed that the great re- vival of the Welsh Free Churches was to be effected when the latent power not in use in their Churches would be brought to the front—the services of women. Roman Catholics have long since seen what good they can do, and the High Church party have also found out their power, but among them ladies were nowhere. They read there of a great woman. In Wales they never heard of a gwraig fawr dyn mawr they often heard of. but there were great women, and they must accustom their to that use. With the educational advanta^e^ of the present day we see great women in every rank in life, and they must be given their true position in our churches, and it is this that will bring about the great revival of the future. He then related an anecdote worthy of recapitulation. One of the Georges (he said) was always for bis goodness greeted with large crowds wherever he went. This was exceptionally monotonous to the king, who. on one occasion, when entering a house, at the door of which stood a large multitude, asked for an entrance round the back. This could only be accomplished by going through a field, in which a woman was engaged' harvesting. The king-, approaching her, and asked where was her husband ? Gone to see the king. sir, and also the man-servant." Well," said the noble George. Here's a sovereign for you for-atteniing to your work, and you have seen the king as well!" The rev. gentleman wished the women to serve Christ, because it would give them the highest joys of religion—that of instinct. Those are impossible without service. But in the text it was an hospit- able woman. He wished them not to forget their hospitality, and gave thsm the scriptural admonition. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." That old story dwelt upon the re- ports of this woman to entertain God's prophets, and the reward that was granted her in the child. The spirit of hospitality, it was feared, was on the wane in Wales, and yet he was persuaded that it was by throwing their homes open to the prophets coming in that part that thiiland was evangelised. Then, speaking further, he gave a living picture of the man of God. God made him what he was, God owned him. and came for him at the close of his career, His holy man was to be a man of God. and when Elisha gave him a great choice asking What I shall give you before I am taken awav," he did not ask for wealth, he did not ask for honour, asked not for any prize of this world, but simply said Let the double portion of thy spirit be upon me —that is, may I be enabled to serve my people and my country as thou hast done—as a man of God. He expected great things from God, and he was not disappointed. He con- fidently took upon himself to raise the child of this woman from the dead. Then followed a graphic picture of the prophet raising the dead. bringing back the dead child to life again, and said this boy and the one raised by the prophet Elisha were the first two lilies of the spring of the resurrection, and confessed that we do not rejoice enough in the great resurrection. He was grieved to see Mr. Bradlaugh's uttering the last living words that they were not to mourn after him. nor to wear mourning, although he believed not in another world, and yet they. believing in im- mortality, and in a blessed life beyond, were con- tinually wearing mourning. They ought to mourn less, and rejoice more. In tho afternoon both preachcrs eloquently discoursed. Dr. Evans' text was from Luke i. 32 and '33 verses, in the course of which we noticed the following :—" He shall be great." The great- ness of Christ was the subject. '-He shall be great," firstly, because he came to reveal the highest, best God—the Father. No man hath seen God at any time. but it was possible to know him without seeing him. And how By the revela- tion of one who came from the bosom of the Father. He said Himself, after all his deeds of kindness and love, He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Xo poetry, no novelist, no man has yet imagined a higher God than the one re- vealed by Christ. Referring to Robert Ellesmere, who had professed to concecrate his life to serve the Father, while denying the divinity of the Son, he said to know God as a father was impossible, except through Christ. It was like professing to believe in the sun. and not believe in the light which reveals. He shall be great," secondly, because not only did he come to reveal the best God, but came to deliver man from their worse enemies—their own sins. '• And shall call him Jesus, and he shall deliver the people," preaching Jesus as an example, and a martyr. But this was not his business in coming to this world. It was to deliver people from their sins. "Being" in ungodliness is man," and Milton was right when he made Satan say Myself am hell," and once they were convinced that their sin was destroyed Jesus would become to them all precious. He shall be groat," in the third place, because he is King by Divine right and by the choice of all his followers. People ask. Who is the coming man or the coming kin- who will put things right on this earth? It is not king science: it is not king knowledge it is not king liberty, but king- Jc-u". because this world will never become right until people are delivered from their sin, and Jesus is the only one who can do that. He shall be great," he attributed, in concluding, as He is the only one who satisfies all human hearts with blessings that are eternal. And of His kingdom there shall be no end." Dr. Thomas followed with another rich in- tellectual treat, and this rev, gentleman also occupied the pulpit in the evening,
T I t T INTERVIEW WITH BUFFALO BILL. WHAT HE THINKS OF CARDIFF. When the special S'ar interviewer was toll off on Thursday morning to interview Buffalo Bit;, his heart rebelled within him. and he felt inclined to do as Jonah did when asked to go to Nineveh. It required all the majesty of the editorial frown and the recollec- tion of the fate of that obstinate prophet to reconcile him to do his work. He did his level best to miss the train at Cadoxton, but the Fates v. ere against him— the train was late, and before he knew what he was about he was on his way to Cirdiff. His friends twitted him with his solemn face, an 1 a member of the Ratepayers' Association asked him if lie had had an in- crease of salary. The Sial" man hee-lcd them not- sterner thoughts occupied his mind visions of bowie knives and Colt revolvers and scalps and squaws and papooses flitted over his perturbed spirit. He reached Cardiff, all in a tremor he lingered in St. Mary- street he bid a last adieu to his beloved Phil. and its genial host, whom he thought he would see no more. A last he arrived at the Park Hotel, and tremblingly asked for Buffalo Bill." There's no such name- about, the place," answered a lively barmaid, but. more in sorrow than in anger, the Sfur man gave his card and asked to see Col. W. F. Cody. He was ushered through long passages—perhaps they OUgllt to be called corridors—and he was vividly reminded of the Mysteries of Lklolpho. A liveried page boy took his card on a tray into a room, and the Star m:Ti was left for three minutes to his unquiet thoughts. Suddenly the door opened and hwas ushered into a room, where he ex- pecterl to see a grisly -bearded man seated in front of a wigwam, surrounded by forked tongues, and grislies and braves. To his surprise, he saw a tall, well-built man. with a han Js<rone face. and long hair with a poetic curl. He looked in vain for theweanoas of war 110 scalps adorned the ceiling, no bowie knives and revolvers were visible. The shock unnerved him. Then came a surprising request, You are the representitivc of the South Star ? Will you please sit down." The Star man, overwhelmed with confusion, sat down. Never had he been adted such a surprising thing. tIe had expected to be asked to 11 knuckle down," or hands up." or something, but to sit down— it was inexplicable. l! A man came into the room and spoke-to the Colonel in low whispers. The Star man strained his ears— whatever may that mean—and heard something of Derby and telegrams. He can't be making his book on the Derby already," he thought. He was soon en- lightened. '"I have a theatrical company." said Colonel Cody,.turning to Iii ri I -,in American com- pany—which is now acting at Derby, and I want to see the star artiste." "That's very easily done," said the Star man, for the sake of saying something. "No,it isn't" was the answer. t{ Cardiff is a very good place to be in, but it is a hard place to get out of." There was a silenc? of some minutes. }.. t last the tar mm mustered up courage and asked in a quaver- ing voice, What made you come to Cardiff ? '.That ma-de. me come to Caretiff echoed the Colonel, and a thundercloud gathered on his haughty- brow. "Oh, I see," he added, laughing. Well, you see," and now he spoke with a very pronounced Ya keë twang," before ever I c;.ine to this countrv. I met Ade!ilia Patti in America, and she told me that Cardiff was the outlet of a very rich cour.tiy: and 1 determined to, ran my show here. I hope you haven't been disappointed in the re- sults." '• I gaess not, 3-r. Star. There are more people coming to see my Show here than were in London." What do you think of Cardiff, Colonel? It is said to be somewhat different to other English towns." I C., It's very American. It's the most American town that I've ever been in outside the States. It's built exactly like a town in the States." Is vour Show he-re the same as it was in London in 18 87 "Yes. As long as people are willing to pay for seeing it, you bet I won't cut down the Show." '■ Have YOlrthe same people in your ShdV: ?" c: Not all of them, but there are ov-r a hundred with B1e now who were with m8 iU London." How many people- have you got here?" Oh. about 2aO; and about 200 animals, including buffaloes." "I hear th::t some of your bucking horses were bought from a local gentleman ?"' No, not bought. Mr. Barber shipped them from South America, and as they proved unmanageable, we ride them this week-for fun." "I hear that some of your braves took part in Sitting Bull's rebellion ?" Yes. twenty-three of them did." How long will you: remain in this countrv ?" X ext week we gt). to Bristol, then to Portsmouth and Croydon. Afterthat we go to Scotland, and then to the States." Will you disband your company then ?" ":S (): I won't disband nntil after the Chicago World Fair in 1833d'' Oh, a Welsh Eistedfodd is todis held there then." "I shall be glad to see it—and you too." When did you-start running the Wild West Show? l; In 1883 so after ten years of it I think I shall deserve some Well, goodbye, Colonel. I'm sure you are busy. I am very glad to have had a chat with you." Thanks, goodbye ;• I hope we'll meet at Chicago." And after receiving a hearty grip of the hand, the relieved Star man went his way exulting.

the case in question it seems to us that he acted, to say the least, indiscreetly. The facts of the case were simply that a policeman and a game- keeper were ill-treated by a trio of roughs from Pentyrch, who on Saturday night last in a spirit of revenue attacked the policeman whilst in the execution of his duty. Police-constable Hopkins had earlier in the day served a summons on one of the defendants, and after the shades of night had thrown their dark canopy over the peaceful valley of Pentyrch he in company with two others—his father and nephew—came across the constable and a gamekeeper on the side of a lonely road. Having knocked down the keeper for refusing to give a him a rabbit, the policeman struck him down, and the other two defendants joined in the row, and one struck the officer with a huge stone on the shoulder. The constable and the keeper finding the trio too many for them took to their heels, and the villagers, hearing the row, joined in the chase, and in self-defence the keeper had to fire a pistol. The Bench severely reprimanded the policeman for excess of duty and dismissed the charge, arguing that somebody in the crowd would certainly have assisted the guardian of the peace had he acted in the right, A bench of magistrates ought to know that a policeman and a gamekeeper are the natural enemies of a mob of°rowdies, and that not one would have assisted them in their trouble. They should also bear in mind that no rospsotabla people would join in such a crowd, and that naturally aid could not be expected from such a quarter. The least the Bench could have done would have been to ad- journ the case before suggesting that the constable committed a wilful perjury, for in doing so they only encouraged the unwarrantable attacks on police officers and others which unfortunately are already too frequent in this part of the county. Ever since the National Eisteddfod question was mooted at Pont-vpridd. there seems to have been a lack of interest taken in the Intermediate School movement. This lethargy, or whatever it may be called, h'. s also extended to the Rhondda, and the work of both committees is at a standstill. The Pontypridd committee is. however, just one step in advance of their Rhondda friends, for they have appointed an architect to draw out plans of the proposed building, while the Building Committee of the Rhondda movement, appointed some few months ago. have not yet met to discuss'the ques- tion. Public men seem to have taken a holiday, indeed, and have grossly neglected work which they were called upon to do. A movement, the starting of which was hailed with great enthu- siasm, his been allowed, through a want of energy and perseverance, to become almost forgotten. Something should be done, and quickly, to re- awaken the interest of th. public In the scheme. and to bring to a successful issue what; will prove a boon to the 1 isi.ig generation. It has teen to us a matter of surprise that a larger number of colliery proprietors and col- liery managers have not followed the example of Mr. Edward Davies, Llandinam, and the Messrs. Cory, in contributing towards the funds of the proposed Intermediate Schools. The gentlemen named consider that, inasmuch as they obtain their incomes from the great collieries in the Rhondda Valleys, it is incumbent upon them to do some- thing towards furthering the interests of the town where their employes reside, and, as a result, have most generously come forward with nand- some donations. But such men as Mr. D. A. Thomas, the owner of the Clydach Yale Pits Mr. W. W. Hood, the manager of Llwynypia Colliery and chairman of the Ysrrad School Beard and Mr. Alderman Jenkins. Ystradfechan, a colliery manager and chairman ci the Ystrad Local Board, have given 110 intimation of their intention to contribute. We must confess that in the case of Mr. D. A. Thomas and Mr. W. W. Hood, who takes such an interest in Elementary School, it seems inconsistent that they should withhold their sup- port from such a scheme, and it is to be fervently hoped that, in justice to their own interests, if not for the sake of those that depend upon them, that -they will soon come forward with on open hand, and show the public that their neglect is not due to a want of sympathy, but to their forgetful- hess.
