CHURCH CONFERENCE AT BARRY.
CHURCH CONFERENCE AT BARRY. IMPORTANT SPEECH BY THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. On Monday afternoon an important and in- fluential conference of the clergy and leading Churchpeople of the district was held at the Barry Dock Public-hall, under the presidency of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Llandaff. There was a good attendance, and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic character throughout. The Bishop of Llandaif, on rising to open the proceedings, was received with loud applause. His lordship, in the course of a spirited address, said the present was a most critical period in the history of Wales. A keen political struggle had been fought in the country recently, and the result had been the transference of the reins of office from one Government to another, and nearly the whole of the members of Parliament elected for Wales weie pledged to a system of Disestablish- ment and Disendowment. This measure would, it was sai^I, be followed by a similar measure for England. Wales had returned 30 out of 32 mem- bers pledged to carry into effect this unrighteous Act. Having referred to the present system of unfair representation in Wales, whereby nearly all the members of Parliament were supporters of a Gladstonian Government, instead of under a system of representation according to population of twenty-one members to eleven, the Bishop said that the venerable statesman who was now at the head of the Government—although he had repeatedly declared himself a staunch supporter of the Church of England, and had repeatedly eulogised in unmeasured terms the good work 'which the Church had done and was doing in Wales -had emphatically declared that if public opinion in the Principality had declared itself in favour of disestablishment and disendow- ment he would pledge himself to support such a measure, notwithstanding his own views on the matter in fact, in spite of the dictates of his own conscience, he would consent to this wanton act of spoliation. (I. Shame.") The friends of the Church in Wales must not. how- ever, be in anyway discouraged, for already the new Government, although it was an infant that had not yet commenced to walk, had mani- fested signs of decay. (Applause.) Since the general election three months ago there had been three bye-elections, and in two of these the majori- ties of the Gladstonian candidates had been con- siderably reduced, whereas in the third—that of Cirence;ter-the majority recorded in favour of the Gladstonian had been completely overthrown and the Unionist candidate had been returned. (Loud applause.) In these circumstances, it was quite possible they would soon have a friendly Govern- ment in office again. (Cheers.) There was, further, a great barrier which Mr. Gladstone must cross before he could effect the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church in Wales, and that was the barrier of the disintegration of the Empire. This was a difficult piece of work for the Prime Minister to accomplish—a piece of work he could not accomplish in 24 hours neither, perhaps, in 24 years. (Cheers.) There was, therefore, every reason for the friends of the Church in Wales not to be disheartened. (Hear, hear.) But what was the duty of the Church at present ? It was the duty of its members and friends to stir up a feeling of enthusiasm for the Church in the Principality. (Hear, hear.) They should educate the people in the fundamental truths about the Church and its history, and point out the lamentable consequences of disestablishment and disendowment. Amongst these lamentable consequences would be the deprivation of the poor of the spiritual privileges which they had enjoyed for so many centuries. The sick poor would be robbed of their claim upon the spiritual ministra- tions of the clergy. The poor would also be robbed of the free use of the Church and the burial rites which they now enjoyed and he (his lordship) considered these in themselves were sufficient grounds upon which they could claim the preservation of the Mother Church as an -established and endowed Church. (Cheers) The Rev. C. A. Wells, of the Church Defence Institution, then delivered a powerful address in support of the Establishment, directing his observations principally in the direction of organisation. Mr. Oliver H. Jones, J.P., Fonmon Castle, in a pointed address, proposed the following resolu- tion That this conference pledges itself by every means in its power to resist the Disestablishment and Dis- endowment of the Church in Wales. Captain W. B. Whall (Barry) seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously. Major-general Lee, J.P. (Dinas Powis), next moved- That a branch of the Church Defence Institution be formed for the two rural deaneries of Llandaff Lower (Eastern and Western Divisions). He (General Lee) concurred with previous speakers that a great deal of ignorance existed, not only amongst Dissenters, but also amongst Church- people themselves, as to the history of the Church, and this ignorance should as effectually as possible be removed. (Cheers.) Mr. W. H. Nell (Wenvoe) seconded, and the re- solution was cordially agreed to. A strong committee of clergy and laity was then appointed to carry out the terms of the last resolution. After an eloquent address by Mr. W. E. Helm, organising secretary of the Church Defence Insti- tution, the conference closed with a vote of thanks to his lordship the bishop for presiding.
MARRIAGE OF MR. A. JACKSON,…
MARRIAGE OF MR. A. JACKSON, OF BARRY. The marriage took place on Friday morning at All Saints' Church. Llanelly, of Mr. Alfred Jack- son, solicitor, Cardiff and Barry, the only son of Mr. John Atkinson Jackson, Whitehaven, to Miss Kate Ashton Allen, second daughter of the late Mr. Frederick Charles Allen, physician. Maidstone. Owing to the recent death of the bride's father, the wedding was a very quiet one, only a few personal friends being invited to the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Samuel Davies. The bride was charmingly attired. She was given away by her brother-in-law. Mr. John Llewellyn Thomas, manager of the Llanelly Brewery. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Samuel Watkinson, Ynys- cwm, as best man. After the ceremony the wed- ding party sat down to a recherche breakfast at the residence of Mr. J. S. Thomas, Gonng-road. The happy couple then left by the morning express for Bournemouth and Whitehaven, where the honey- moon will be spent. The list of presents is a lengthy one, and includes several cheques.
DISMISSAL OF A BARRY RAILWAY…
DISMISSAL OF A BARRY RAILWAY OFFICIAL. RESOLUTION BY THE TRADES' COUNCIL. At an ordinary meeting of the Barry and Dis- trict Trades' Council, held at the Victoria Hotel, Barry Dock, on Friday last, the case of Mr. H. Davies. late train foreman in the employ of the Barry Railway Company, was fully discussed. The Council was of opinion that the only cause to which his dismissal could be attributed was his strict adherence to the principles of Trades' Unionism and the Council unanimously passed the following resolution :— That this Council strongly deprecates the conduct of the officials of the Barry Railway Company in dis- missing Mr. H. Davies from his employment, feeling satisfied that there was not the slightest justification for such action; and attribute the same to be nothing short of vindictiveness and antagonism towards Trades' Union principles. We further are of opinion that the said officials have no right to interfere in any respect with the freedom of any of their employes regarding matters appertaining to their citizenship at either municipal or Parliamentary elections.

OUR PUBLIC MEN. [BY DARIUS DARE.] V. ALDERMAN J. C. MEGGITT. 11 The Barry and Cadoxton Local Board is com- posed of the most cantankerous set of fellows I have ever met, but they have done more work in three years than any other Board in the kingdom." Such was the frank opinion which was lately ex- pressed in private by a no-means favourable critic, who is a director of the Barry Dock and Railways Company. Mr. Alderman Meg^gitt can with justice lay claim to being the most active and go-ahead member of a very progressive Board, and I think that all. with few exceptions, will exonerate him from the charge of being cantankerous." Indeed, Mr. Meggitt deserves the epithet less than any other member of the Board. Mr. John Claxton Meggitt was born nearly 35 years ago at Wolverhampton, and was early set to learn business habits in the office of Messrs. Richard Shelton and Sons, timber merchants, of whose business Mr. Meggitt's father has been for many years the manager. After knocking about the country for some years, representing this firm and that, the passing of the 3arry Company's Bill induced Mr. Meggitt to cast in his lot with Barry. He was not only the first timber merchant, but he was also the first merchant that settled at Barry, and his first cargo entered Barry Harbour in Octobar, 1884-just three weeks before the cutting of the first sod of the dock. It was but natural that a good business man, and an ambi- tious one to boot, should come to the front in local public affairs. In July, 1887, Mr. Meggitt was elected on the Cadoxton Parochial Committee in August of the same year he became the first chairman of the first Burial Board in November, 1887, he was elected guardian of the poor for Cadoxton parish. In July, 1888, at the first Local Board election, he was elected at the top of the poll. In February, 1889, on the promotion of Mr. John Cory, the first County Councillor for Barry, to a seat on the aldermanic tench, Mr. Meggitt, after alcontest was elected County Councillor, polling double the number of votes that were given to General Lee, his opponent. In April, 1891, on the resignation Mr. John Cory, Mr. Meggitt was elected the second chairman of the Local Board. In March of this year, Mr. Meggitt was re-elected County Councillor without opposition,but was subsequently raised by his fellow councillors to an aldermanic seat. A month subsequently, Mr. Meggitt received another proof of his fellow-ratepayers' confidence in him, when he was re-elected a member of the Local Board, obtaining second place on the poll, after having made a strong running for first place. It is given but to few men to have asked for and received the confidence of his fellow-citizens in 'so many ways. Mr. Meggitt has never been defeated in any election for which he has put up and he has been a member of every local authority except the School Board. This, in itself, is sufficient to stamp Mr. Meggitt as an able and efficient public servant, as well as a strong man. It can be said with truth that there is no man in the district that can command such universal support. As might have been expected, the sudden rise and uniform success of a man still in the heyday of manhood h?ve raised up for him some enemies and many detractors. But even the most bigoted and bitter of his enemies have been compelled to admit his great ability. I have said that Mr. Meggitt is the most active member of the Local Board. If we might believe what. some of his enemies say, Mr. Meggitt would appear to be the Board's dictator. Nothing could be so unjust to the Board or unfair to Mr. Meggitt. It is true that the Board has accepted a great many of the plans and suggestions of Mr. Meggitt; but that is because he hasjgenerally seized the psycho- logical moment" for advocating certain plans. He is always on the spot." He never wastes the Board's time with futile suggestions ot. chimerical fads. He is eminently business-like, and sometimes cruelly curt and practical, as some of the members felt during his year's tenure of office as chairman. Neither is Mr. Meggitt cantankerous. He has strong opinions, it is true, but he is indifferent about details. If he has a point to gain, he cares not about the means, so long as they are honour- able. He has none of that sublime ,obstinacy which is composed more of pride than of intelli- gence, and which makes its possessor more anxious for the means than for the end. He is a man of eternal compromise a man that is called by some a trimmer," and by others" weak-kneed but a strong man, after all, that always attains the end he has in view, no matter how many minor things he has had to sacrifice on the way. This is at once Mr. Meggitt's strength and weakness. He will willingly give up half a loaf in order to gain a whole one but he forgets that it is often possible to gain the whole loaf without sacrificing the half. It is impossible also that, with such a policy, Mr. Meggitt should escape the charge of in- consistency. But it will always be found that in every instance the end in view is the same, however different may have seemed the paths that led to it. The one fault of Mr. Meggitt's public life is that he is too much afraid of public opinion. He sometimes, mistakes the ignorant clamour or the hasty conclu- sion of a few for the matured opinion of the many, and sometimes he allows the prejudices of the unco guid to over-ride his own deliberate con- victions. This, it has been said, makes him view with different feelings a London and a Cardiff theatre. It is related of an eminent Scotch divine, who was never known to fre- quent a theatre at Edinburgh, that he was seen in the pit of a London theatre by one of his own congregation, and on being threatened with exposure, he said Ye maun, ye maun but thsy wadna believe ye." And the same tale, it is said, might be applied to Mr. Meggitt. Mr. Meggitt's strength and weakness may be seen in his speeches. Every speech I have ever heard him make has been clear, lucid, incisive as full of matter as an egg is of meat logical and convincing to every unprejudiced mind; the business-like speech of a practical man, with an occasional platitude to help to round off a sentence. But there is no passion, no imaginativeness, not a touch of poetic scorn or indignation or senti- ment. Now and then during the excitement of a contested election, Mr. Meggitt has been known to try and introduce a little passion into his speeches but on those occasions he has always appeared like unto a man trying to strike a light out of a damp lucifer. His forte is not declamation or invective or appeal. It is said of the late Lord Lyndhurst that he never made a speech that was not above the average level. but that he never reached the highest point. The same might be said of Mr. Meggitt. He is always convincing, for he always appeals to the intellect; but he nevei appeak to the heart. If ever Mr. Meggitt gets to Parliament, he will be looked upon as one of the best men on a committee, and he will always be listened to attentively. Nay more, he will be considered as one of the most effective speakers in the House for his style is just" the House of Commons style." But he has not a spark of oratory in his composition. He has not the tongue to voice a nation's wrongs or to rouse into fiery activity a dormant people. He is a wonderfully sound administrator, and has an admirable gift of lucid expression. As yet he has not done much in the County Council, but he has already im- pressed his fellow-members with a sense of his business ability and common sense. Before the six years of his aldermanship will have expired, I venture to predict that Mr. Meggitt will be looked upon as one of the three most indispensible mem- bers of the Council. It is needless to say that in politics Mr. Meggitt is a progressive Liberal, who has on many occasions shown his cordial sympathy with the Labour party, and his appreciation of the il Young Wales" movement which will yet transform the Principality. As might be expected from a man hailing from Wolverhampton, where the great Rev. Charles Berry holds forth, Mr. Meggitt is a firm Congregationalist, and is a deacon of the English Congregational Church at Barry. Mr Meggitt, however, does not limit his interest to people of his own party or sect. No good cause in the district has had to complain of Mr. Meggitt's generosity, and many of his charitable deeds are unknown except to the recipients. Mr.. Meggitt has finally thrown in his lot with Barry. No public man has looked so far into and provided so wisely for the future of Barry as Mr. Meggitt. He is confident of Barry's great iuture, and he is determined to do all in his power to make the town not only great in wealth, popula- tion, and material prosperity, but also in cleanli- ness, orderliness, and health. And when Barry is great and prosperous, and when the writer of another generation will be passing in review the 41 Makers of Barry," the name of John Claxton Meggitt wil be mentioned as one of the ablest, most enterprising, and public-spirited of them. Next week will appear a portrait and character sketch by Darius Dare of Dr. P. J. O'Donnell.
PENARTH POLICE COURT.
PENARTH POLICE COURT. 0- MONDAY.—Before Major Thornley (in the chair), and Mr. Llewellyn Wood. CALLS IN ARREARS.—Mr. John Morris, clerk to the Dinas Powis Highway Board, for an order on William Thomas and James Lougher to pay arrears of a rate of £ 109 9s. 6d. made on the parish, amounting to d614 17s. 3d.-Order granted. THE ADVENTURES OF A CHAIN.—Johanna Maczelins, boarding-house keeper, married woman, of Maughan-street, Penarth, was charged with un- lawfully pledging a gold albert chain belonging to Mr. Henry Chester Vivian, merchant, of Cardiff. Mr. Vivian is a lieutenant in the 2nd Glamorgan Volunteers, and, as such, was engaged at the Volunteer encampment at Lavernock. On the occasion of the sports, on the July, he lent his watch to one of his fellow-officers for the time of the sports, and put the end of the chain in his pocket. There was a seal attached. Afterwards, when on Sully Island, he looked down for his chain, and found it was gone. He made a search when he got back to the camp, and got six sergeants told off to search for it, and he also offered a reward for its recovery. Until last Tuesday he had heard nothing about it, when a police officer informed him of its recovery. On Wednesday Police-constable Michael Martin brought it to his shop. He was prepared to swear that he believed it was his chain, but he could swear to the seal.-Thomas Scott, aged 12, of Penarth, said he found the chain on the 27th July, and he gave it to his brother George, who gave it to their mother, the prisoner.—Mr. Harris, pawnbroker, said he received a chain in pawn on the 1st August, Mrs. Maczellins (the mother of the lad Scott) pawned it with him for 18s., stating that the chain be- longed to one of her lodgers. It had been renewed twice since, once for a guinea, and once for 24s. The seal was pledged by defendant's daughter, Mary Scott. On Wednesday he gave the seal and chain to a police-constable.—Herbert Dickerson, Mr. Harris's assistant, also gave evidence.After consulting, the Bench said the woman had done very wrongly in acting as she did; she should have given information to the police, but as she had not absolutely stolen the chain, the case would be dismissed. THEFT OF LINEN.-Mary Ann Mockford, char- woman, of Penarth. was charged with stealing a sheet, the property of Mr. Belcher, which had been given to a Mrs. Palfrey to wash.—Mr. Payne de- fended.-Evidence was given by Mrs. Palfrey, Police-tonstable E. Parsons, and Mr. Harris (with whom prisoner had attempted to pawn the goods, but who gave information to the police).—Another charge was preferred against prisoner of stealing a table cloth, the property of Mrs. Moran, 10, Dock-road, on the same date.-Annie Morgan, 'a servant, said she put the table cloth on the line to dry, and she missed it at 9.30 in the evening.— Police-constable Parsons deposed to receiving the cloth from Mr. Harris, pawnbroker, with whom it had been pledged by a lad, named Mackenzie.- After a short deliberation the Bench fined prisoner 10s. including costs for each offence or 14 days. DRUKK AND DISORDERLY.-David G. Jones, of Barry Dock, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the Holton-road, on Saturday night last.-Acting-Sergeant Gammon said that on Saturday night at 11.45 he saw the defendant on the Holton-road ;drunk and disorderly. He had created a crowd round him.-Defendant admitted the offence, and was fined 5s.—Wilson Parkinson was charged with being drunk and disorderly on Saturday night at Cadoxton.—Police-constable William Phillips proved the case, and defendant was fined 5s. or seven days.-Edward Halloran was charged with being drunk at Penarth, and was fined 5s., which Mr. Harris paid.

rpONTINE AS SUR A NeE. THE great obstacle to the universal adoption of Life Assurance amongst salaried officials is the fact that in most offices premiums remain payable during the whole period of life, long after the productive years have passed, thus becoming a serious burden, whilst, at the same time, the surrender value are so entirely disproportionate to the amount paid as premium that payment can only be discontinued at very serious loss. For instance, persons who are entitled to retire with pensions from their employment constantly find them- selves obliged to remain at their posts, being otherwise unable to provide from their lessened income the necessary sum for the maintenance of their whole life policies. These obstacles are overcome by the Tontine Policies issued at ordinary life rates by the EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES. The Society's Policies, with Twenty Year Tontine Periods now maturing, show (after furnishing protec- tion for twenty years) a return in every case of more than the total amount paid in premiums. All Twenty Year Endowments show a return of the premium paid, with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per cent. per annum.
