OPEN LETTERS TO WELSH LEADERS…
OPEN LETTERS TO WELSH LEADERS OF OPINION. Xo. XII. DAVID RANDELL, M.P. Mv DEAR DAVIE,—You are an eager, anx- ious, restless, rotund little man and though you like to know that your public work is ap- preciated—and no man can thrive better on praise than you—still you can bear criticism, even though it be with a grin as well as any or them. That is a healthy condition, and indicates great possibilities. You live and learn better than most of your colleagues. And though, now and again, you delight to revel in a few sentences of high falutin flattery, I know you do not care for that species of compliments called tomb epithets. You like sincerity, and do not feel satisfied unless at all times you earn the compliments that are bestowed upon you. There is a healthy, straightforward ring about you that is really very admirable, and your manly, independent bearing wins even the respect of your opponents. But even the sun has spots. You are not flawless. The joints of your harness are easily seen, and your weak points are known to all. But when we view you all abound, and have regard to the difficulties you had to grapple with and overcome before you could sit in ] St. Stephen's, our admiration for you increases abundantly. It was no well-paved highway j you had to travel, but a rugged, thorny path, ] beset with swamps and quagmires, and where lions prowled. But you are made of good, honest, dauntless stuff, and difficulties but < sharpened your energies and nerved you to 1 greater eTorta. You never lose your little ] 9 -head. Mabon. who is apt to get flustered at times, savs you are a cool customer, and the tribune of the Rhondda is right. Weare all j apt to minimise those qualities in others which ( are lacking in ourselves, and Mabon sees and admires in vou what Nature and art have 1 denied to him. But do not grow vain, Davie, j lest some evil star should settle o er your path. Remember, Paul himself, that he might be j kent humble, had to be buffetted y i messenger of Satan. I cannot tell you w a that messenger was, but that he was an ug y j > monster lam pretty certain. My friend and your colleague, Mr. Warmington, who is a local ■preacher, and therefore deeply versed in apos- tolic lore, assures me that St. Paul s fleshy thorn Was an impediment in his speech, which hm- dered him from ascending those regions of elo- quence after which he hankered. Be that as it may, his case stands as a beacon and a warn- ing to us all to be humble and lowly in spirit. You assume a good deal of the humble dodge, but you are not quite as humble by a good bit as your meek demeanour would lead us to con- clude. Oh, no like Stuart Rendel, you have an average opinion of yourself. I do not think you are to be greatly blamed for that. The man who does not sufficiently estimate his own talents will assuredly fail in this world. Look at Sonley Johnstone. Sonley is gifted to steer the helm of State, and yet because of his modesty he is content to edit a newspaper. But think for a moment what the country has lost because c: a man's humility. True greatness, said an epi- grammatic Frenchman, is always humble. What f udo-e. I wouldn't believe that though it ^ere writfen by Max O'Rell—nay, not though it fell from the lips of Professor Barbier himself. Where humility prevails there can be no real greatness. To accomplish anything really great a man must know his own powers and appreciate them. In no walk of life is this so true and so essential as in politics. Just look at the House of Commons. Run your lieen eye along the benches, Davie, and estimate the qualities of the men who are in the front. Are they modest men are they humble men are they men who esteem others better than "themselves ? Not they. Take Balfour for example. Is he a modest or a humble man ? Why, he is simply bursting with vanity. And then have a look at Sir W. Harcourt. If any- one who knows the ponderous baronet will say that he is afflicted with modesty. I will present him with a leather medal and double my sub- scription to the infirmary besides. No humility plays no part in political success. The best talent in the House of Commons is not on the front benches; it is, with solitary exceptions, in the rear. But I do not think there is the slightest fear that you will tail because of your humility. There is nothing too great for you to attempt, nor too small for vou to achieve. You are not a man of much learning, and even I, your most indulgent friend can hardly describe you as eloquent of speech. But be not dismayed common sense and a voluble tongue are not one and the same thing. As John Gunn would say, they are not synonymous. Nay, indeed, they most fre- quently belong to different species. Cromwell Was a poor man on the husting, and on the floor of the house his speech was accounted barbarous. And there was Moses himself, who could scarcely utter words at all. And He is the most gifted poet That ever breathed a word. And never earth's philosopher, Traced with his golden pen On the deathless page truths half so sage As he wrote down for men. Aye, aye such is the world's history. Tall Words and beautiful thoughts do not always rush from the same rock. And yet the gift of oratory is one of God's highest gifts to man. Cultivate that gift. David, and excel in it if you can. It will help you wonderfully in your Upward career. I do not mean that you should attempt fine speech you will surely come to grief if you attempt the grandiloquent trick. But to be able to talk, sensibly, pointedly, and clearly is a consummation devoutly to be wished by all men such as you who desire to become leaders of men. And you are a leader of men. It is not every M.P. who can be truthfully described as a leader. But you area leader, and you have won the coveted position by hard application, and a careful study of methods which prevail amongst the Yankees. You have reduced the art known as wire-pull- ing to a system, and there is no more skilful manipulator of the method thf n you. And you do it all so quietly- Noiselessly as the spring-time Her course of verdure weaves,. And all the trees on all the hills Opan their thousand leaves, that we scarcely know the thing is in operation at all. And you so well assume the virtues that is not within you, not one of us suspected you to be afflicted with political ambition until you stepped into power and threw down the gauntlet to the squire of Penlle'rgare. And you both had your reward. John became Sir John and you became an M.P. But you worked the thing nicely. You rallied the workingmen around you as if you had been the man whom prophets foretold would come to redeem the toiling multitudes from the thraldom of this groaning and sweating age. What wonderful things you did promise. Gladstone himself couldn't have talked with greater assurance. And through it all ran that pretty captivating vein of simple modesty that all hearts, that had no other objects to serve, were fas- cinated by you. The working men had for a long time been your special field of operation. You devoted your at- tention to them most carefully, and on the principle that one good turn de- serves another-known in commercial affairs as reciprocity—you helped the tin-plate workers in many things and while they never dreamt that David Randell had thoughts of sitting in Parliament and legislating for Llanelly, you were all the time making your position secure when the opportunity came. You were true to the working men, and thej^did not forget you at the right moment. And as you defeated the Squire of Penlle'rgare when he was plain John Llewelyn, so you will wreck him when he is a baronet of high degree. Have no fears as to the result of the next contest. The battle is yours. You are a tried politician, who has performed his duties faithfully, and won his spurs in Par- liament. You have many little weaknesses which you would be better without. You look upon yourself as a man of greater weight and importance in Parliament than you really are and you are grievously afflicted with vain desires. But, in spite of these defects, you are no mean representative, and have acquitted yourself with more than ordinary credit in the House. You have no great abilities but you possess the kind of ability that wins Parlia- mentary success. You are clear-sighted and adroit and there are few who can manoeuvre better than you and, to crown all, you are endowed with a most enviable political instinct. You know the right thing when yon see it, and you can discern the opportune moment as few of .your colleagues can. Your sympathies are, in the first place, with the working class. To help them is your mission, and you have never failed in your effects. But you have also large sympathies with the national aspirations of Wales, and, unlike some of your more noisy colleagues, you are in earnest about your country.' You are ready to help any movement, no matter by whom it is launched, if it promises to benefit Wales. That is most admirable for, alas alas it is notorious that the Welsh repre- sentatives try to strangle every proposal that does not emanate from their individual selves. You have accomplishments, too, that many a Welsh representative is without. You are well up in French, owing to the fact that you re- ceived part of your early training in France. I heard a strange story once-that you spoke French in the company of Sam Eva-is and Lloyd George. They didn't understand what you meant, and when it did dawn on them that you were speaking to them in a language they did not understand, they retaliated by talking Welsh. It is too bad, though, that you don't speak Welsh. I don't say this in an un- kind spirii, but I am sure sure you will yourself agree with me that it is only right that a Welsh Nationalist should know the language of the country of his birth. And you are a Welsh Nationalist of the right sort. You are not one who has taken it up for the vake of currying favour with Young Wales 01* to secure a seat in Parliament. Before ever it became fashionable to be a Welsh Rome Ruler, you were one aye, and you advocated Welsh Home Rule even when Sir Edward Reed was fuming and fretting because he could not spout )ut his views. You are the right man in the right place. You represent a Welsh consti- tuency, and though your name and your speech .s English, your heart is thoroughly Welsh. You ire prominent at Eisteddfodau, and every Welsh institution finds in you a loyal supporter. You represent a working constituency, and, though 1 lawyer, you have shown that you possess the most intimate acquaintance with the condition )f the working man, and your name will always be honourably known in connection with several reforms in the working of mines. The working men recognise in you a true represen- tative, and when delegates were sent to the International Congress of Labour the name of David Randell was about the first to be sub- mitted and approved. You seem to have a little jteiichauf (this I say out of deference to your French training) towards International Congresses. Only the other day you wee at another at Rome—the International Peace Congress. I must say you didn't make an ideal peace representative. There's a fire in your dark eye, a firmness and squareness about your forehead, an aggressiveness about your chin, and a general air of sturdy independence, not to say pugnacity, about your whole manner that single you out as a jingo more than a peace-at- any-price man. But, to parody the old pro- verb, peaceful is as peaceful does. With talents that some men would belittle, you have won for yourself a position that is envied by many and if you do not become too high and mighty, but always remember whence you sprang, there is a future before you that will take the shine out of those who to-day offer you patronage. I have w;i chad your career with interest, and you" repeated suc- cesses have afforded me a satisfaction that does not fall to my lot every day in the year. But take my advice, and don't give up certainty for hope. You are clever, but you may run with the hare and follow the hounds once too often. Wire-pulling is a fine art, but the wins some- times go away. Take a hint, Davie, from your friend and well-wisher, THEODORE DODD. Next week Theodore Dodd will address an Open Letter to Mr. BOWEN ROWLANDS, Q.C., M.P.

BARRY.
BARRY. THE ROAD TO THE ISLAND.—We understand! that the Barry Railway Company have invited and received tenders for laying a granolithic pavement, 10 feet wide, from Barry Station down Barry Dock- road, in front of East Barry House, under the railway bridge, and across the western dam to the new bridge now almost finished on Barry Island. If the Barry Railway Company carry out this work, it will be a. great convenience to those who wish to go' to Barry island, as they will have a broad pavement all the way. The walk on the Island is already a very favourite one at Barry, and this will make it still more popular. THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.—The decorations at Barry Parish Church, on September 27th, for the harvest thanksgiving generally were very tasteful, the ladies who took part in these were Miss Cory (who took charge of the Communion table and rails), while the rest of the church was done by Mrs. Neale, Mrs. J. Robinson. Mrs. Du Heaume, Miss Morgan, Mrs: and Miss WhaII, the Misses Axten, and others. The ser- vices were bright and cheerful, the psalms and canticles being chanted, and a Benedicite, composed by Mr. Best, the celebrated organist, was sung in place of the Te Deum. The anthem was. I will feed, my flock" (from Ezekiel xxxiv., '4, 15, and Psalm xxxiv., 3, 8, 10), by Caleb Simper.- The whole of the music, which included the usual harvest hymns, was most efficiently rendered. Both sermons were preached by Canon Allen, the morning sermon was on < Matthew vi., 11, Give us this day our daily bread." The ser- mon in the evening was on Luke'vii., 47, "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much." The collections, the proceeds of which weie sent to the House of Mercy at Penarth, amounted to £4 10s. It should be mentioned that Mr. Vaughan, who presided at the organ, played exceedingly-well.. RE J. W. ESKDALE.—The examination of this bankrupt took place at Cardiff on Saturday, before Mr. H. Belcher, Official Receiver. The trustee in this case was represented by Mr. George David. The debtor said he ha,1 been in business at Barry Dock as a builders' merchant, and according to his statement of affairs,, which was correct, he owed 11,300. of which £637 was returned as bad debts. He kept accounts, and knew how he stood. All the money had been lost in the business. He did not understand book-keeping, but a man managed his books for hiin. A builder named Smith, at Barry, owed him .€582 for building materials. On the 1st May he had an execution for £20 put in in respect of a judgment due to the Kattybrook Brick Company. He had had two County-court sum- monses before then. Twelvemonths ago he borrowed £ 30 from a money-lender named Barnett, hut he forgot what amount he had to pay on the loan. He had no entry of it, and nothing to show when he repaid it, or what the total amount was. He also borrowed £50 from a Bristol firm of money-lenders-the Mercantile Company. That sum was not entered in his books. He repaid £75. He did not borrow £50 for the purpose of meeting a cheque given to Messrs. Mayor and Co., but if he had not borrowed the money the cheque would have been dishonoured. He purchased four houses in Aberystwj-th-terrace, Barry, from Mr. Sydney Meaken for £880.. He obtained £700 from a Monmouthshire Building Society. He had had a piano, but had pawned it with Barnett and Sons, Barry. He got £12 on it, £7 of which he paid to his solicitor, and the £5 he kept.—The inquiry was adjourned, in. order that furth^accounts and particulars might be furnished. THE HOLTOX SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS.—A special, but private, meeting of the Barry School Board, sitting as a committee, was held at the Barry Board School on Monday night for the purpose of con- sidering the applications which have been received for the positions of teaching staff at the new Holtotwoad Schools.—Mr. J. Lowdon (chairman) presided, and there were present, General Lee (vice-chairman), Captain Davies, Rev. J. Price, Mr. E. F. Blackmore, and Mr. W. H. Lewis (clerk).—The following^ applica- tions for the posts mentioned were gone through, a certain number being selected to be laid before the full Board :—Head-master, 188 head-mistress, 43 head-mistress (Infant Department), 41; total, 272. The final appointments will be made by the. Board at the fortnightly meeting, to be held at Cadoxton on Monday next FOLLICK'S is the Genuine Shop for all kinds of Clothing.

RUMOURED FORTHCOMING MARRIAGE, OF A BARRY DIRECTOR.—It is stated that Mr. Edward Davies, of LIandinam, managing director of the Barry Company and proprietor of the Ocean Collieries, will shortly be married in America to the sister of his late wife..

This was shipped on board 46 steameia-and 16 sailing vessels-tota! 62 The imports during the week consisted of 200 tons of bar iron and 120 tons of bricks. LORD WINDSOR, the chairman of the Barry Dock and Railways Company, and president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce, has issfced invitations, to the ex-presidents, present vice-presidents, the secretary, and treasurer of that body to dine with him at St. Pagan's on Thursday, the 15th inst. BARRY DOCK.—Good progress is-now being made with the large double graving dock at Barry Dock, in connection with which from 450 to 500 men are now constantly employed. Large quantities of water have been met with in the fissures of the rock, but, so far, the ample pumping power provided has been able to. master the now, and it is expected that by the end of October the side walls, which for safety have been built in trenches, will be completed. The dock will be about 800 feet in length, and will accommodate four ships at the same time.
CADOXTON.
CADOXTON. MEETING.—Next Thursday, at T p.m., we under- stand that a meeting will be held at the Picnic-hall to take steps to give Police-constable Phillips a pre- sentation, as a slight token of admiration for his recent heroic conduct in CM^uring the Wenvoe burglars." PRESENTATION^^ On Wednesday night at the Three Bells, Mr. F. C. Boys, who is leaving the dis- trict, was presented with a handsome gold medal by the Athletic Club. The medal was supplied by Mr. A. W. Newman, jeweller, Cadoxton. HOME AGAIN.—Mr.. Edmund Kinnersley, formerly of the Three Bells Inn, Cadoxton. and Mr, Fred Palmer, of Palmerstown, near Cadoxton, who left. this district on a visit to America a few months ago, returned to Cadoxton on Monday evening, when they were welcomed by a large number of friends. DISTRICT BILLPOSTING COMPANY. — At the adjourned general meeting held at the District Office, Vere-street, Cadoxton, on Wednesday last, Dr. O'Donnell in the chair, Mr. W. Spickett, Pontypridd, was elected a director. It was further resolved to adjourn the meeting until 5th November, when two more local directors will be elected. Mr. Spickett is already connected with some of the companies in this district, and, as many of our readers may know, is one of the directors of the South Wales Star. TEMPERANCE.—The temperance party through- out the kingdom are making strenuous efforts to enroll a million more members before the end of the year. With this object, it is proposed to distribute a million circulars all over the kingdom. We are requested to mention that the temperance party at Cadoxton arc in need of a hundred earnest workers who will distribute circulars on the 17th and 24th of this momh. All who will kindly volunteer their services are requested to send their names to Mr. J. H. Edwards, 9, Barry-road, Cadoxton, from whom all further particulars may be obtained. REGISTRATION WORK.—As instancing the great increase in the work of preparing the voting lists for the parish of Cadoxton we may mention that at the Revision-court, held last evening week, the assistant overseer, Mr. C. Howe, was paid the sum of £45 for his labours in preparing this year's lists. THE VISIT OF THE ALPINE CHOIR. — In con- nection with the visit of Professor Andre's Alpine Choir to Barry and Cadoxton, two sacred concerts were given at the Cadoxton Market-hall on Sunday afternoon and evening last. They were exceptionally well attended, and the sacred music rendered was much appreciated. Collections were made, a g-ood sum being realised. THEATRE ROYAL.—A splendid company occupies the boards at the Theatre Royal this week. On Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday "A Noble Coward" was played. Of an excellent company, Mr. W. H. Wallace, as Peter Pellett," was by far the best. It is not an easy part to play the coward on the stage, and the actor who attempts such a part must be a superior one. He must have the gift of taking the audience, as it were, into his confidence. This Mr. Wallace succeeded in doing admirably. Of the rest, Miss Nelly Lawson as "Christina," Miss Greville as Theresa," Miss Emery as" Rose Delancy," and Mr. Autherly as Lieutenant Frank Tankerville," deserve especial mention. On the last three nights the thrilling drama Zamet" is played. ALDERMAX JOHN COHY, J.P., Porthkerry House, who is a director of the Barry Company, and a mem- ber of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board, has been unanimously re-elected a member of the Cardiff School Board. Owing to absence from home and residence in London in the early part of this year, Mr. Cory, who had been connected with the Board since it commencement did not put in an attendance for six months. This cost him his scat. Mr. Cory was in Cardiff, intending to be present at the third meeting, but was prevented at the last moment. However, it is satisfactory to observe that he was re- elected by a unanimous vote, a Tory member of the Board seconding the resolutiou for his re-election. ILLEGALLY REMOVING GOODS.—At the Penarth Police-court on Monday, before Messrs. J. S. Corbett (chairman), James Ware and Lewellen Wood, George Warren, of Llantwit Vardre, and lately of Cadoxton, was charged with illegally removing his furniture from Brook-street, Cadoxton, while he was in arrears for rent.—Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd prosecuted.—John Williams, rent collector, said the defendant owed 12s. rent, and when he v ent to collect it on September 21st, he found the house empty. The front door was locked, and the key was on the shelf in the kitchen.— i Josiah Evans said he saw the defendant removing the goods at about six o'clock in the morning.-Defendan1 said he had been out of work for a long time previous to the removal, and had not been able to make up the money.—The Bench fined him altogether £2 16s.—The sum of £1 was paid into court. THE PROPOSED NEW WELSH CHURCH.—A de- putation of the Welsh Church, Cadoxton-Barry, had an interview with the Bishop of Llandaff at Cardiff on Saturday last, and, after an address by Mr. J. R. Llew- ellyn', his Lordship expressed gratification at the ex- ceptional efforts which were bfeing put forward to make the movement a success, and stated that as the result of that interview he would advise the diocesan committee to contribute .£4{) or £50 towards the build- ing fund of a church. The deputation was accom- panied by the Rev. Canon Roberts and the rector of the parish, the Rev. E. Morris. THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY COMPANY.—A. Mr. Beasley, the chief-assistant to Mr. Lambert, general manager of the Great Western Railway Company, has been appointed general manager of the Taff Vale Railway Company. There was a goodly number of applications for the post, rendering the dirty of selec- tion an arduous one, many well-known officials in the British railway world, whose position and experience entitled their claims to weighty consideration,, being jn the list. The chief difficulty experienced by tha directorate was-to get a man who had a perfect grasp of general railway management combined with a knowledge of the South Wales- district, its character- istics and its history. This* valuable conjunction of qualities the board of directors has presumably been obtained in Mr. Beasley.

PENARTH..
PENARTH.. OUTBREAK OF FIRE.-About three o'clock 011 Sunday afternoon, a fire was discovered on the pre- mises of Mr. H. Baker, hairdresser, Windsor-road, Penarth. Mr. Welirly, jeweller, living- near lYy, saw smoke issuing from the building, and at once stmt a communication to the police. Inspector King, with Sergeant Sanson and other officers with the reel, was immediately on the spot, and. breaking open the door, found that the fire had got a firm hold on the things in the shop. A copious supply of water being obtained, the fire was. extinguished before it could extend to any part of the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, it appears, had only left the premises,, having gone for a drive, a few minutes before the fire was discovered.. Thc damage done is estimated at about £100. COLLISION IX PENARTH ROADS.—On Thursday (last week) the sailing vessel Scotsman whilst lying at anchor in the Periarth Roads was fouled by the sailing ship Peter Airdale, in tow of a tug, and bound for Cardiff. The Scotsman sustained damage to her yards, &c., but the other vessel escaped comparatively un- injured. BUFFALOISM.—At the Penarth Police-court on Monday the landlord of the Ship Hotel, Penarth, was granted an hour's extension for Monday evening nexr, the occasion being a dinner in connection with the local Lodge of Buffaloes. FOLLICK'S is the Best Shop for Jewellery. Splendid assortment and at all prices. Corner of Barry-road and Main-street.—Advt.

WENVOE.
WENVOE. PLOUGHING MATCH.—The annual meeting of the Wenvoe Ploughing Society will be held at Wenvoe on Wednesday next. The proceedings promise to lie very interesting. In the evening the annual dinner will will take place at the Wenvoe Arms. Miss JEXXER AND HER G'AKDESER.—At the customary weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians last Saturday, a letter was- read from Miss Jenner, of Wenvoe, asking for an aged inmate of the union to be allowed a week's leave in order that she might; give him: some odd jobs about her kitchen garden.. The old man, it appears,, had previously done work of this kind for her, and, though 70 years of age. had walked backwards and forwards from the lady s residence to the Union, morning and night, a distance of five miles. The master said that Shepard, the in- mate in question, was always pleased to go to Miss Jenner's the first day, but the thh-daind fourth days lie would complain of the distance he had to walk, his mistress, for the time being, never having provided him with a place to sleep. It was pomted out that this was the source of great temptation to Shepard, who. on his journey to-and fro. used to call in at the publichoust-s. It was decided to grant the application on-condition that Miss Jenner supplied the man with food and lodgings.
LLANCARFAN.
LLANCARFAN. FORTHCOMING VISIT OF MR. A. J. WILLIAMS, M.P —We beg to call the attention of ours readers in Llancarfan and the neighbourhood to the fact that on Wednesday evening next a liberal meeting will be held at the Llancarfan Board Schools. A great deal of interest attaches to this meeting from the fact that it has been called for the purpose of enabling Mr. A. J. Williams, the member for South Glamorgan, to address his,constituents in the district of Llancarfan. We trust to see on Wednesday evening the Board School crotvded with an enthusiastic audience, who will give their member the hearty reception he so richly deserves. It behoves the electors in rural districts to realise the present political situation. It is a fact well-known now, that when the Liberal party return to power—which will without a doubt be at the next election—they will take in hand, in com- mon with a number of other great reforms, the question of doing something for the rural districts. The agricultural labourer, and indeed every resident in an agricultural district, has everything to hope from the Liberal party. It is the duty then of every voter in the Vale of Glamorgan to rally round Mr. A. J. Williams, and triumphantly return him a.t the next election to support the party which will do something for the long neglected residents of essentially rural districts.

The popular member for the constituency, Mr. A. J. Williams, M.P., will be present to address his constituents. We trust that a highly enthusiastic meeting will he held.

CADOXTON CRICKET CLUB.
CADOXTON CRICKET CLUB. DINNER AT THE THREE BELLS. On Wednesday night a dinner was held at the Three Bells Inn, Cadoxton, in connection with the Cadoxton Cricket Club, Dr. O'Donnell in the chair.

s BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the above Soard was held at the Board-room, Cadcixton, on Tuesday afternoon. There were present Councillor J. C. Meggitt (chairman), General Lee. Drs. O'Donnell and Treharne, and Me-srs. G. Thomas. J. Robinson, J. Barstow, W. Thomas (Sully). W. Thomas (Cadoxton), J. J. AVilliams, J. A. Hughes (clerk), J. C. Pardoe (surveyor), Dr. G. Xeale (medical officer), A. E. Leyshon (inspector of nuisances), and C. Howe (collector). THE CGLLECToVs SALARY. General Lee moved the adoption of the Finance Committee's report, which recommended among other things that a rate of Is. in the £ should be made, and that the collector's salary should be raised from £75 to £100. In referring to the latter matter the speaker said that Mr. Howe would be allowed to carry on any other work as at present. As a Finance Committee, however, they felt that they ought to have a man who devoted the whole of his time to his duties, and they offered Mr. Howe £150 per year if he would give up all other work.—Mr. J. J. Williams seconded.—Dr. Trehame said although he was a member of the Finance Committee he did not agree with the re- commendation which had been made. He thought they ought to pay as much as the Penarth col- lector, which was £ 12:>. He moved that Mr. Howe should be paid the sum of £150 free of all restrictions.—Mr. W. Thomas (Sully) seconded.— The voting then took place as follows :—For the amendment. Messrs. Treharne. W. Thomas (Sully), G. Thomas, Robinson, and Barstow (5) against, Messrs. Meggitt, W. Thomas (Cadoxton). Lee, and Williams (4). MISCELLANEOUS. A letter was read from Mr. J. Brock. Cadoxton, the contractor for certain private improvements, requesting the Board to pay Stuart's Granolithic Co. the sum of £ 264 odd for granolitic paving, and deduct from the money due to him as certified by the surveyor.—The letter was referred to the Finance Committee. Messrs. Morgan Bros., Cadoxton, wrote stating that they could not accept the terms of the Board with reference to the altering of a road level near Cadoxton Church. They said they had worked up to the levels given by the Board.—On the recom- mendation of the chairman the matter was re- ferred to the Public Works Committee. Dr. O'Donnell withdrew the motion he had given notice of with regard to railway communication to Pontypridd. A letter from Mr. J. Montgomery with regard to a drain in Main-street was referred to 0 the Public Works Committee. The whole question of the appointment of a Science and Art Committee under the Technical Instruction Act was referred to the Free Libraries Committee to make a recommendation upon. It was understood that the Board would under the powers conferred upon them grant a substantial sum to the classes. The secretary of the Coigne-terrace Building Company wrote asking that a lamp should be erected at the corner of Coigne-terrace.—Dr. 0 Donnell Is there a road to Coigne-terrace.—Dr. Treharne No.—The letter was referred to the Health Committee. The seal of the Board was affixed to new bve- laws relating to new buildings, hackuey carriages, public bathing, kc. ° A licence was granted Mrs. Phillips, Vere-street, for the sale of fireworks. It was decided only to carry out the improve- ments at Qnarella-street. Cadoxton. and that the clerk communicate with Messrs. Richards and Gethin and the Barry Company about Thompson- street and Dock View-road. HEALTH COMMITTEE. Dr. O'Donnell, in moving the adoption of the report of the Health Committee, drew attention,to the fact that at the last meeting of the Board a resolution of the committee that proper flushing apparatus be supplied to every water closet in the district had been neglected. The Board had. by doing so, broken the bye-laws, and the committee had inserted the recommendation again. There had been many complaints about the nuisances caused near houses by people coming out of the theatre, in Iddesleigh-street. and the committee thought that the lessee should erect a urinal.— The Clerk said in reference to the latter matter that he had written Mr. Morris, and he was very doubtful whether Mr. Barnett, to whom the Board had granted the theatrical licence, could transfer it without applying for a new licence. Mr. Morris would write to Mr. Barnett on the matter. —The report was then adopted.—The Chairman said that in the Surveyor's estimate for the next six months he noticed that the sum of £800 was set down for public lighting. He suggested that the Health Committee should corsider whether that amount could not be reduced by the extin- guishing of the lamps on moonlight nights at midnight, or something of that sort.—This was agreed to. THE PROPOSED ACQUIRING OF CADOXTON COMMON. General Lee moved the adoption of the report of the Commons Committee. He said the Board, in order to get control of the Co vimon, had two modes of doing so, one under the Public Health Act of 1875, which was a compulsory Act. and the other under the Commons Act of 1876, which proceeded in a more conciliatory way. The Act of 1876 pre- supposed the purchase of the Common, and the Act of 1876 pre-supposed that the lord of the manor and cne-third of the other par- ties interested were willing to give the Common. The committee were in favour of try- ing the 1876 Act first. The committee recom- mended that the steward of the manor. Mr. J. Morris, should be communicated with, and asked to lay the matter before the lady of the manor, and see how far the wishes of the Board could be met. If the lady of the manor gave her consent they should call a public meeting of those who considered they were interested to ask them to forego their rights.—Mr. W. Thomas (Sully) seconded the adoption of the report. — Dr. O'Donnell said he did not agree with the recom- mendation of the committee. He thought the Board should apply for a provisional order as the committee had originally recommended. He understood that the Commoners were perfectly willing to give up the Common if they were com- pensated for their rights.—Mr. Robinson approved of the recommendation of the committee, which, after some little further discussion, was agreed to without a dissentient. THE TRADES' COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS. Dr. O'Donnell. in pursuance of notice given at the last meeting, proceeded to move that the re- solution placed before the Board by the Barry and District Trades' Council should be adopted. He said the School Board had conceded most of the recommendations of the council. He said the resolution of the council was divided into five sections, and he would move them one at a time. He begged to proposed No. 1. viz.—" That all con- tractors shall be required to pay the recognised or Trade Union rate of wages, and the working hours to be in accordance with the rules and customs of the various trades in the district.'—Mr. G. Thomas seconded, and it was carried.—Dr. O Donuell then moved No. 2, viz.—it-That sub-contracting be not allowed." He thought, however, that words should be added ta the effect that it not be allowed except when unavoidable, as, for in- stance, the laying down of granolithic paving which could only- be done by a special firm,—Mr. George Thomas suggested that to meet Dr. O'Donnell's view the resolution should be as fol- lows :—" That subcontracting for labour be not allowed, and that 110 sub-contracting for material be allowed unless, with the approval of the Board." —Dr. O'Donnell W?S satisfied with the alteration, and it was agreed to unanimously.—Dr. 0 Donnell then moved Xo. 3, viz., That in all extracts to be executed in the town, the contractor shall be required to conform to the recognised lccal work- ing rules and customs of the various grades."—Mr. George Thomas I think you had better leive that out. I think we have gone quite far enough in passing Paragraph 1.—The Chairman I think :\0. 3 is a most important paragraph.—=Dr. 0 Donnell I beg to move that it be adopted. Mr. Robinson I think its a mistake to go into. so much detail.— Mr. G. Thomas It really makes- us the arbitrators between the masters and men., which is certainly not very desirable.—Mr. Robinson agreed.—The Chairman I second Dr. O'DonneU's motion.—Mr. G. Thomas I move that i-i be not included, I think it is sufficiently covered by paragraph l.:— —Mr. Barstow seconded the amendment.—-The voting was as follows For the amendment— Messrs. G. Thomas, Treharne, W. Thomas (Sully). AVilliams, Lee, Robinson, and Barstow against—Messrs. Meggitt and O'DoniielL The resolution of Dr. O'Donnell was therefore lost.—Dr. O'Donnell moved X o. 4. viz,, 'That, as far as practicable, a31 work to be done in the town," with the addition of the words all, things being equal."—Dr. Treharne seconded.—The resolution was agreed to.—-Dr. O'Donnell then moved No. 5. viz., "That looal appointments be filled by local men," with the addition of the wards other things being equal.—Mr. G. Thomas, in seconding, said he had voted for local men before now when Dr. O'Donnell hadn't. (Laughter.)—Mr. W. Thomas (Cadoxton) and Mr. Robinson also charged rr. O'Donnell with a change of front.'V-Dr. O'Don- nell indignantly deified this. He said he had voted for an outside person when his qualifications were much superior.—The resolution was carried. THE SCAVENGING QUESTION. i Mr. J. Barstow, in pursuance with notice of f mctfiOTU again drew the attention oi the Board to thepresfc?i3 mode of scavenging, and saitthe thought theiime had come when the Board sb'cuid- kave their aw-n horses and carts, not only to perform scavenging work. but the various otbeV-'Work- ioc which the Board had to hire at presents- Hepro- ceed ee to read from the Smith Wah < the figures he had previously laid before the B&ard. and; which -showed; that the Board would 11 otr lose by I adopting his scheme. He moved that the Board should reconsider the whole question cf scaveng- ing;—Dr. Trehnrae seconded.—After a short dis- j cussion. the voting was taken as follows .—For j Mr. Barstow's motion—Messrs. Meggitt. Barstow. Treharne; J. J. Williams, and Lee. (5) agaifcst—- j Messrs. G. Thomas. W. Thomas (Sully.)< W. j Thomas (Cadoxtolli). and Dr. O'Donnell, (4).Mr:.1 Robinson remained; neutral.

Thcffl&s moved that two members be appointed to sign a cheque for £ 300 as soon as be appointed to sign a cheque for £ 300 as soon as the work was finished* to the satisfaction of the surveyor. — Dr. O'Doasiell seconded. — Mr. W. Thomas (Cadoxton) nroved that the sum of £400, and not £300 should be paid.—Eventually this' was agreed to unanimcaisly.—The Board then rose. At the conclusion the Board meeting a General Purposes Committee was held/* all the members remaining.—The Chairman (Mr. J. C. Meggitt) introduced tha question of the desirabi- lity of establishing a Cottage Hospital in this district. He stated that there was a very strong feeling in the district that some Cottage Hospital or Infirmary should be started here, and it was in order to test the feeling of the Board on the matter that he asked tlrem to remain that after- noon.—General Lee and others addressed the meeting-, and it was resolved that. in the opinion of the Board, it was desirable that a Cottage Hos- pital should be established in the district, and that a deputation, to consist of the chairman (Mr. J. C. Meggitt). Major-general Lee, and Dr. Neale. should be appointed to wait CUE the Barry Railway Com- pany, Barry Graving Company, and the Barry and Cadoxton Gas and Water Company, to obtain their views on such a hospital.—It was also resolved that, in the opinion of the Board, it was desirable that such a Cottage Hospital should be supported from the rates.—It was also resolved that the Chairman of the Board 'rSiOTild be asked to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the district to consider the question.
DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD.
DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD. GENERAL LEE AND THE MAINTAINING OF ROADS. The monthly meeting of the Dinas Powis High-, way Board was held at the Police-court, St. Nicholas, on Wednesday. There were present General Lee (in the chair), M. Howells (Cole. brooke). O. Williams (Hampstone), W. Loughor (Llancarfan), J. Smith (New Wallace), D. Loughor (Bonvilstone), T. Evans (St. Nicholas), E. Rees. T. Thomas (LLantritbyd). E. R. Lewis (surveyor), and J. W. Morris (clerk).—A letter was read from Mr. A. J. Harris to the effect that although the Dinas Powis Board had decided that the work of constructing a new iron bridge at Pontsarn should not be commenced by the con- tractors, Messrs. Dyne, Steel and Co. without the consent of the Llandaff Highway Board, the work had been commenced while the Board did not approve of the plans of the bridge.—The Surveyor stated that the contractor had commenced the work without his consent.—On the motion of the Chairman, it was decided to write to the contractor pointing that they could not be responsible for any work he had done, as he had not yet signed the agreement with the Board, and had commenced the work without the Board's consent.—It was decided to allow an additional £ 15 for some curb- ing and channelling at Dinas Powis.—The follow- wing amounts were voti-d St. Andrew's parish, £30; Llancarfan, £12; St. Lvthan's. £5: Sully. £ô: Pendoylan, £8; Penmark, £ 10; Wenvoe, £10; Welsh St. Donnatt's, £8: Port-road, £16; surveyor (wages), £35 Pontsarn contract, £ .'1.1.— Mr. Smith (New Wallace) complained that the contractor for the Wavcock-road improvements had not yet commenced the: work.—The Surveyor; said the contractor had told him that he had com- menced the previous Sfconday.—Mr. O. Williams i and Mr. Smith replied that this was not so.—It was decided to inform the contractor that unless the work was completed within the specified ."time (another two. months) the penalties would en- forced.—A discussion arose as to whether the con- struction of a culvert and the carrying out of some work in connection with the well-hath in the Waycock-road, were in the specification, or whether they were to be extras.—General Lee kindly promised to look into the. specification with the surveyor, andreport to the next meeting.'— The seal of tLe Board was affixed to two agreements for the borrowing of £ S50 from the Ancient Order of Foresters.—The Clerk reported in connection, with the proposed road improve- ment to Wenvoe siding that there was .not auy likelihood of the Barry Company contributing the cost.—It was stated that the Wenvoe Siding Com- pany had not contributed, but that vhe Wenvoe Castle Estate had expressed their intention of assisting—Tine Clerk was deputed to see Mr. Forn "t in reference to the Barry Company, and Mr. Smith kindly consented to see the Wenvoe Siding Company about the same matter.—The following bills were psssed -.—Barry Lhu-li -}'Á.,J. advertisements> 6s.; Messrs. Bagnall; and Co.. commission on securing loan, £16 16s.: D. Owen and Co., printing. 16s.; \Yr*tern advertising. £2 9s.; D; lirancan and Sons,.ditto. £ ,2 14s. 6d.— Miss Jenner presented a long list of matters which she said required going into in the neighbourhood of Wenvoe. and the surveyor and Mr. Smith were deputed to. report by the next meeting:.—The Surveyor reported that the sum of £100 granted by the Barry Company for the repairing- of the Eastbrook road would be insufficient this year.— The Clerk was authorised to communicate with the Barry Company on the matter -—Mr. Nell, of Wenvoe, was orderel to mark out the piece of land he had given to the Board: in lieu of an encroachment on the opposite side of the road.— General Lee presented his report on the roads question. It was very exhaustive- and complete, and in the course of his remarks lie- said that the chief cause of bad roads was faulty drainage. If they drained thoroughly and kept the water off the roads, one quarter, if not more, of the metal- ling would be saved. For every one rut caused by cart wheels scores were made thaough the water running over the roads. Furrows could be pre- vented by the employment o £ skilful labourers. and asumeiency of them. He recommended that more regular labourers should; be employed. Much skill was required in roadmen, and much money was lost by employing inefficient men. He proposed that the following permanent men should be kept on the roads :—St. Andrew's dis- trict. two, and one when Port-road is taken over: Wenvoe and St. Lythans, one: Penmark. Rhoose. and Porthkerry, two; St. Nicholas Bonvilstone, Welsh St. Donatts, and Pendoylan, three Llancarfan and Lhintrithyd. one total nine. Several members thanked General Lee for his report, alid it was decided to have it printed and- circulated among the members, and discuss it at the next meeting of the Board.—Mr. O. Willijpas proposed a hearty vote of thanks to General Lee for his report, which was carrried. n-

LOCAL NOTES.
the Board cannot under the Act let land at a less rent than will cover the rent paid for the land by the Board, and all expenses incidental to the let- ting of allotments, such as fencing off the land, collecting the rent, kc. So far the Board have been unable to obtain any suitable land at a rent sufficiently low to make it possible to let allot- ments at a rent which a. working man would be prepared to pay for it. The Board have now determined to advertise for offers of suitable land. and we hope they will be able to carry the matter through, as the principle of allotments is a most deserving one, and one which tends directly to the well-being of the working men of the district. The question of the provision of a cottage hospital for the Barry district, which was dis- cussed by the Local Board last Tuesday, is one of very great importance. Civilization has many fruits. Man has yoked his powers of nature to his chariot, the winds are his servants, and the lightning carries his message in its own fiery bosom. What a contrast there is between our country to-day and what it was nineteen centuries ago. But perhaps the greatest and most notice- able difference betwen a civilised and a savage race is that the former make provision for the sick and poor, and our hospitals and infirmaries are outward signs of a greater advancement and a nobler civilization even than our most wonderful examples of engineering skill or architectural knowledge. It has been our privilege in the past to call attention to the want of some such provision in this district, and it is with great pleasure that we record the fact that our Local Board, the public representatives of the district, have unanimously decided to take the matter up. We are glad that they are of opinion that it should be supported, partially at any rate, out of the -rates. We believe that the provision of a cottage hospital orinfirmany is the duty of the community, and we feel sure that aided in this way it will be placed on a far surer footing than if it was de- pendent on private charity. The Cardiff Infirmary, situate in the midst of a populous and rich town, which is the centre of a rich and populous district, can only be maintained in efficiency by the great energy of men like Mr. John Cory and Dr. Edwards, of Cardiff, and by the generosity of a comparative small portion of the community. Debt hangs like a cloud threatening almost all charitable institutions, and the number of givers even in a rich community is very scarce. In a poor district like ours a hospital depending on private charity would be in never-ending diffi- culties. Supported by the rates it will at once be in a sound position.
