ADDRESS BY MISS TILLEY.-On Friday evening last Miss Tilley, of Cardiff, delivered a very interest- ing address at the Seamen's Institute, Barry Dock. There was a good attendance at the meeting, and the address was most attentively listened to throughout.- Miss Tillev is the superintendent of the Seamen a In- stitute at Cardiff, and for the last 10 years her time has been exclusively devoted in the endeavour to im- prove the moral condition ot the seamen. Her father is the Rev. A. Tilley, pastor of the Tredcgarville Bap- tist Chapel, Cardiff-one of the oldest ministers in the town. Miss Tilley intends visiting the Seamen's in- stitute every month, to help on the good work of Captain Sharples. B CRIED AT SEA.—On Monday morning Captain H. E. Jacobs, of the s.s. Treveane, reported at the Board of Trade Offices, Barry Dock, that whilst pro- ceeding up the Dardanelles, in the Black Sea, an able- bodied seaman named Elwin Jenkins, presumably a native of Falmouth, died from typhoid fever, and was buried at sea. -^CTTTRE.—Mr. W. Abraham, M.P. (M;>bon) will deliver a lecture at Barry Dock on November 30 on "The British Parliament The ltvture> which will be in English, should be well attended, THE ALLEGED SUB-LETTIXG OF CON*TR-->.(::TS — It will be remembered that Mr. G. Rutter was accused at the last meeting of the School Board of having, contrary to the terms of his agreement with that Board, sublet a portion of his contract to a. Laraiit firm of joiners. A committee of the whole Board waS called on Monday night last to investigate the matter. The meeting was a private one, and the representatives of the press were not admitted. One of our representa- tives, in the conrse of a conversation with one of the members, learnt, however, that Mr. John Rees made a strong speech on behalf of the Trades L nionists. xhe Board then asked the opinion of their architect, Mr. George Thomas, as to the definition of '"sub-letting, and Mr. Thomas expressed it as his opinion that Mr. Rutter's action did not fall under the heading of sub- letting." Dr. Lloyd-Edwards was of opinion, in face of Mr. Thomas's declaration, that the Board could do Jiothing in the matter, except to guard against the re- currence of the incidents by inserting a more strictly prohibitive clause in all future contracts. We under- stand that this was also the opinion of the whole Board. PUBLIC LIBRARY.—As will be seen from an an- nouncement that appears in our advertising columns, the Public Library will be opened on Tuesday week, November 18. Our readers Auld remember that no books will be given OU0 «-:cepn;o those who have filled up guarantee forms. The"e forms can only be obtained at the Holtoij-road Library on Tuesday or Thursday next, and all who wish to take advantage of the open- ing of the Library should make certain of getting the guarantee forms next week. The catalogue of the Library will show that it is one of the best-stocked little libraries in the kingdom. There is hardly a well- Vno\yn book—certainly not a standard book in fiction, ^ivetiturfi, scie&cej and general literature which is not included in the list.. SEASON-ABLE GENEROSITY. During the past few weeks the Buffalo Institute has been array tittp to any p<W people wliO; HiaV apply fOf tta same on Wednesdays. We believe it is thlel intention of the to cMtinnc this veryiacwptaM. mm during the coming winter. The funds foi t-ie sam„ are provided Ml 6f the members unes TRADES' COUNCIL COLLECTION.—We learn that the total amount collected by the Barry District Trade's'Council towards the .funds of the Cottage Hospital and the Nursing Association is £ 73 4s. lid. R.A.O.B. INSTITUTE.—A tripe supper was held at the above Institute on Wednesday evening for the benefit of a brother Buff, who has been ill for some time past. About 80 Buffs, Buffaloesses, and friends sat down to a very good spread of tripe mashed potatoes, and corned beef, to which they did full justice. After the tables had been cleared, a sing song took place, ably presided over by Sir D. W Jenkins supported by Primo Whitehead. Sengs were given bv Brothers M'Donald. Hancock, Ellis, Lewis.'Cottle, Morris, and the chairman, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Great credit is due to the steward (P.J. Stroud) and secretary of the insti- tute (Primo B. John) for the very able manner in which everything was arranged, and also to brother Cornwell and Mrs. D. W. Jenkins for the valuable assistance rendered by them. It is intended t« hou. tripe suppers at the Institute periodically throughout the winter. CADOXTON. ANCIENT BENEFIT FRIENDLY SOCIETY.-On Thursday evening last a public meeting in connection with the above society was held at the clfib house- Royal Hotel, Cadoxton. The chair was occupied by Mr. G. O. Reed (Grand Master), who was supported by Messrs. Thomas Kathrens, P.N.G., S. Htskett, V.G., J. H. Davies (treasurer), and Rhys Williams (hon. sec.). The meeting was held in support of the Cadoxton Royal Lodge Branch"' of the abo ve society, ■which has recently been established in the district, itnu has been attended with very satisfactory results. A good many names were added to tho members' roll, making a total, according to the statement of the hon. sec of 80 members. The society offers splendid advan- tages to working men, the most beneficial of which is that after one fortnight a subscriptions a member becomes entitled to full pay-12. per week. Upon the death of a member £ 12 will be paid to his widow, or, in the event of -<he death of a member's wife, he will receive £ 8 from the society, providing he has been a member 12 months. The scale of subscription vary according to age.-Mr. R. Williams announced that there were 80 members at present. There were 110 at the commencement of the year, and the difference was due to removals from the district, owing to de- pression of trade, and because of members being in arrears- The financial position of the society was very satisfactory, although they had experienced a lot of sickness through the year. They had pud away x56 17s. 6d. in sick pay alone, and one death-claim of £ 8. They had at the present time a balance of between 150 and £ 60 in hand.—Mr. Reed next gave an address.— At the conclusion of the proceedings a vote of thanks was proposed by Mr. Katherins to Mr. Reed for his address —Mr. Heskett seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously—Several new members were enrolled, and it was decided to keep the lodge open nntil Monday night, to give others a chance of becoming members. TRAP ACCIDENT.—On Sunday afternoon a horse and trap were being driven down Weston-hill, Cadox- ton. by Mrs. Webb, wife of a boarding-master residing in Vere-street, Cadoxton, who was accompanied by one of the boarders, when unfortunately the trap was upset and the occupants were thrown out and severely injured. Immediate assistance was rendered, and Mrs Webb was taken home. t CHORAL SOCIETY-A weekly practice of the Cadoxton Choral Society was held ht the Assembly- room,Shaftesbury Hotel, on Tuesday evening. There was a very fair attendance, and a good practice was had. Mr. W. Howe, the conductor, conducted, and Mr. W. T. Llewellyn efficiently accompanied on the organ. Several new members joined, and as the society is now started on a firm footing the public may expect it to give a good account of itself when a public perfor- mance is given. The work taken this season (Mr. T. Price's Prodigal Son ") is one of considerable taste, and it is probable that when it is rendered publicly the composer will himself conduct the performance. At the conclusion of the 'practice a committee meeting was held, and several business matters settled. WESLEYAN TJFBLE CLASS.—On Thursday evening the first annual tea and entertainment connected with the English Wesleyan Chapel was held. A large numberof friends sat down to an excellent tea, pro- vided by Messrs. Lewis and Davies, of the Shaftes- bury Hotel, to which fall justice was done by those present. After tea followed an entertainment in the chapel, and the sacred edifice was well filled notwith- standing the inclemency of the weather. The Rev. Graham Payn presided, and in opening the entertain- ment. made a very characteristic speech. As the rev. gentleman had to leave before the end of the proceed- ings, the chair, on his vacating it, was taken by Mr. Jose. At the termination of the programme, Mr. Jose thanked thoso ladies and gentlemen who had come forward and entertained them so well. Mr. Jose then impressed on his hearers the necessity of unity if they wished to accomplish any good work.

Pardoe, the surveyor, together with Mr. Edmund Handcock, senior deputy-chairman of the G.a.s and Water Company, and Mr. J. A. B.

Rees, Sirhowy, and R. Thomas, Glandwr. Collections ";ere at each meeting for the building fund of the chapel.

We are pleased to learn that the Rev. W. Williams, pastor of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Cadoxton, who has been prostrated by a severe affection of the throat, is gradually improving under the treatment of Dr. Lloyd-Edwards. Mr. Williams will, however, be un- able to be present on Tuesday night at the Young Wales meeting, when he had promised to take a pro- minent part in the discussion.

INTERESTING ADDRESS.—On Monday night last Mr. and Mrs. Joseph, Hebrew Christians from Jeru- salem, delivered a very interesting addresses at Mount Pleasant Baptist Chapel, Cadoxton. The chapel was extremely crowded, and the addresses were listened to throughout with the utmost attention. Mr. Meikle opened with prayer, and Mr. Joseph followed with an interesting address on Christian work among the Jews. Mrs. Joseph also gave an account of the political, social, and religious position of Jewis women. Mr. Joseph was dressed in the Jewish costume, the Rev. L. Ton Evans in the costume of an Arab Sheik, Mrs. Evans as a Bethlehemite woman, and Miss May Holloway as a Moabite woman. The Rev. Morris Isaac closed the meeting with a prayer. The Rev. Ton Evans first met Mr. and Joseph at Joppa, and collections have annually been made since at the English Biptist Chapel in aid of Mr. Joseph's praise- worthy and successful mission.

The debate which very interesting, and it was found *• it till next Saturday night, --oessary to f many as possible will att it is hoped that as ..au, WENVOE.

The Court is one of the most successful and prosperous in the district. OPENING OF A NEW CHURCH.—The Church at Porthcawl has for many years suffered materially from the want of a proper place of worship, services having to be held at the school buildings. A short time ago, however, steps were taken to form a fund towards securing a more suitable structure, and Lord Wimborne kindly granted an acre of land. On Tuesday the new iron Church, which is named All Saints, was opened far Divine worship.

SUPPER.—On Saturday, at the Cross Keys Hotel, the annual goose supper was given, and upwards of 40 sat down to a capital spread.

Price, was voted to the chair, and a very pleasant evening was spent in conviviality.

Secretaries of local clubs wishing to have their list of fixtures inserted under the football heading are requested to forward me one of their fixture cards. BARItY v. TONDU. Played at Tondu before a large" gate." Tondu being strongly represented, several Pontymoilites assisting them, whilst Barry were minus Giggs, Phillips, and W. Davies. The Barryites losing the toss, started the attack at 3.20 p.m., with the sun and a strong breeze in their faces. The homesters soon commencing to press, T. Saunders, Gatv/ell, and J. Williams (the old Car- diffian) stopped several dangerous rushes. D. Richards here being penalised for bringing the bailout of the scrums twice in succession, brought the play into neutral territory. J. Murphy coming away, gave to S. Chappie, who putting in a flier, a minor resulted. J. John returning from the drop-out, Medcroft, acting ail custodian," was now given a chance to shine, which he did by running strongly and putting the oval into toush at the home 25. The home forwards wheel- ing the scrums, carried the leather to near the visitors' line. Here J. Rees intercepted a pass. and eluding his opponent, got to half way, and on being chucked gave to Saunders, the latter getting pushed into touch at the Tonduites 25. The home SGrummagers again coming away with a good rush returned the leather into the Ba-ryites quarters. A. Williams next being in evi- dence brought the ball to the centre flag. Half- time now sounding, Tondu 1 minor, Barry nil. "Lemon sucking" over kicks were interchanged by Poole and Medcroft, leaving the oval in neutral ground. J. Davies gaining possession passed to J. Jones, who gave to Saunders, the latter getting into touch when within five yards of scoring. The Tondu w' leather-hunters, with a combined rush, brought the bailout of danger. T. Davies here being injured by cruel tackling stopped the game for several minutes. Resuming J. and T. Davies started a grand bout of passing, the oval travelling from hand to hand in quick succession. Some rough and desperatejtackling by the homesters was now witnessed near their citadel. Tondu forwards, again showing their superior weight, took the ball well into the visitors' territory. J. Davies, kicking up field and putting in a sprint, brought down J. Poole before returning. T. Davies, from a scrum, again getting through and feinting to pass, r.\n to near his opponents' line, then transferring to J. Jones, the latter was grassed before getting far. J. Murphy, bringing out, was tackled by J. Jones when on the equatorial line. J. Williams now headed a good dribble, and James Porter, making a grand run, expe- rienced hard lines in not scoring, being pushed up against the home goal-line flag. The leather again travelling down the fiold, scrimmage after scrimmage followed in no man's" ground. T. Davies, .again passing his opponents with ease, got across, out, 11 1 through stepping into touch, was called back. Tne homesters, headed by R. Davies, brought the oval to near the visitors' line, where some hard scrums were witnessed. The leather getting across, after some scrambling play, S. Chappie scored for the homesters. Time was now up, but the place kick having to bo triod for (which proved a failure), the referee's whistle afterwards sounded no side. Score :-Tondu, 1 try Barry, nil. Tho Barry team journeyed to Tondu on Saturday last to try conclusions with the representativea of Tondu, and were defeated by 1 try to nil. In fairness to the Barryitos, it should be stated that they were without the valuable services of G, Origgs, full back, J G. Phillips and W, Davies, forwards}, I Medcroft, the visitors' skipper, took Griggs' place at full back, and T. Williams, one of the forwards, taking. the skipper's place, both of whom played well. The game was a very uninteresting onp" con- fined mostly to the forwards. The ho'^stei's'havinira much heavier pack than the Barry, the ball tight, thus not giving the backs a chance. At half, the Davi- prr)V-cc\ more than a match for their opponent- although playing behind a beaten pack. a 0 0 The v/hole of the visitors' quartette played a really magnificent game, giving and taking their passes neatly, and if their forwards had been able to stop the wheeling of their heavier opponents, the score would have been -of another colour. The referee was Mr. F. S. Turner, Cardiff Harlequins. The following were the tea.,ms z-Toiidu Back, J. Poole three-quarters, J. Murphy, S. Chappie, W. Hopkins, and L. Francis; half-btMks.D. Richards and J. Hopkins forwards, T. Rees -vcapt.), J. John, W. R. Rees, E. Powell, J. Dunn, W. Thomas, R. Davies, H. Parker. Barry Back, A. J. M'ederoft (capt.) three-quarters, J. E. Rees, T. Sauciders, J. Jones, and T. Williams; half-backs, J. and T. Davies forwards, J. Williams, A. Williams, D. Lester, John and James Porter, S. Atwell, C. Trathern, and sub. I felt extremely surprised on Saturday when in- formed of the shabby way in which the Penarth team were treated by the Cadoxton District Team. It speaks very badly both for the lack of interest in the game, and also a lack of courtesy towards the attacking team. Only six players turned up out of 15 This precedent I hope will not be acted upon, or I am sure the team will soon acquire an unenviable notoriety amongst its fellows. Those players who did turn up were disgusted with the conduct of their colleagues. On Saturday Cowbridge played the return with Llantwit-Major on the ground of the latter. 4The visitors were two men short, and are to be con- gratulated on the gallant stand they made with such a handicap against them. In the home team there were several changes from the team that iplayed Tondu. In Edwards they have a man who with practice will be an acquisition to the front division. The Llantwit forwards on Saturday played a good game, but they must not be over anxious when pressing their opponents, as several of the minors would have been tries on Saturday if the front men were a little more cool. The home half-backs played a good game against a very smart couple, Warren and Thomas. As three- quarter Llantwit has unearthed a very good centre three-quarter in S. O. Elsie, who, we hear, ill likely to play in all the remainder of the matches to be played this season. The Captain played better—up to his true form-on Saturday than we have seen him this I season. White's place kicking was superb in the first half. From a mark by Elsie near the half-way flag he landed a m&gaificent goal. LIantwit, playing with the wind in their favour in the first half, had the best. Crossing over to play against the wind, the extra weight told its tale against the visitors. The home men penned them in their 25 from a kick by the Cowbridge full back. Price (cap- tain) got a mark, and kicked a grand goal against the wind but, through an oversight of the new rules, it was disallowed, the captain having given the ball to Jenkins to place. Howells, on the wing, played a good game, and deserved to score on several occasions, but luck was against him. Goulden, from the loose, picked up the ball, and, by a very strong run, got through several of the visiting backs, and scared behind the posts, the captain, as per usual, kicking a goal. The visiting three-quarters played a very hard defensive game, the pick of the quartette being Fitzgerald and Hayter. Maestcg visit Llantwit on Saturday next, and, with tho return of Watts, the home men should make a high bid for victory. The hon. sec. of the Llantwit team, Mr. Ernest John, would like to arrange a match with some local team for Boxing Day on the home ground. He has also a few vacant dates to fill up for home and from home matches. ROGERSTONE v. BARRY DOCK. This match was played on the Witchill grounds on. Saturday last, and resulted in a win for the visitors by disputed goal. The game was played in semi-dark- ness, owing to the late arrival of the visitors. On Saturday next Barry will meet Treharris, the present holders of the of the South Wales League Cup, on the Witchill Grounds. The team selected to repre- sent Barry are :—Goal, H. Jones: full backs, right, R Ashton, left, G. Williams; half-backs, right, J. Parry, centre, H. Roberts (capt.); left, T. Jones; forwards, outside right. John Woodfield, inside left, J.

CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. THE CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" SOUTH WALES STAR." SIR,—In last week's issue of your contemporary I notice an effusion signed Almost Persuaded." So extraordinary is this letter that one can only come to the conclusion that it has not passed through the hands of "a gifted (0 editor." As it refers to your able and fair resume of Mr. Helm's speech, I prefer to reply to it where alone criticism is and allowable to all just, leaving alone generous, men. The great grievance is that you are not to give your readers your view of this question, be- cause, forsooth, the people must decide for them- selves after hearing Mr. Helm. What an extraor- dinary idea Pray, what is Mr. Helm himself Is he not a political agent, and H not a paid one more shame to his rich employers, the Church De- fenders. Almost Persuaded required a verbatim report in your paper. His wish could have been gratified if the speaker had been impartial, as you would then have ample time to set it up in type even though it might differ in some respects from what those present imagined they heard. Is not the writer, "Almost Persuaded," aware that mere mechanical reporting is a gift not so very much in requisition in these days when people are sufficiently educated (at least your readers are) to appreciate well written and scholarly articles or smart descriptive accounts. Since your fellow editor (xlc) has allowed "Almost Pfcrsuaded" to reflect on your position as the agent of a Radical Syndicate, it would be only fair to remind people that he is also the paid agent not of Radicals but of the publican interest and of a brewer's organ.-Yours, kc., QUITE MADE UP MY MIND. TO THB EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAB. SIR,—I was sorry to tee in your contemporary's la#t issue a personal attack on yourself, as ^vell as last issue a personal attack on yourself, as well as a violent attack on the apei. you gO aMy edit. It Oflmplaliied that yon did not publish a full re- port of what Mr. Wells and Mr. Helm said, and Augean" thanks the editor of your contem. r,orar^ for doing so. I happened to be present at the meeting, and I a-ni, therefore, in a position to say that your contemporary's report of the meet- ing was neither full nor accurate. I know that a good deal ef space was given to the meeting, as is always the case with a Church or Conservative meeting, but the space was taken up, not by what was really said by the speakers, but by ex- tracts from a pamphlet on the" Church in Wales," published by the Church Defence Institution. Now, Sir, I don't object to a Tory-Church pn.per printing extracts from such literature, but it is shameful that they should be published as a report of a public meeting. Almost Persuaded said that to give a good report of the meeting was, probably, out of the power of your reporter, owing to his inatten- tion. A good report was still more probably out of the power of your contemporary to give, owing to his inability.—Yours, &c., NONCONFORMIST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,-An anonymous writer in your contem- porary has so far forgotten the rules of Fair- play as to make a violent attack upon you in a place where you cannot reply and I, therefore, write to you to ask for a small space in the South Wales Star to reply to these cowardly attacks. The 'great rock of offence seems to be that you were at Oxford College." Probably if others had been in some such place, and had been trained for holding an important post else- where than at a compositor's frame, it would be better both for the newspapers and the district. Every district, and especially every new district. is apt to be judged according to its newspapers, and what would be thought of a district the editor or one whose papers could write (as he did a fort- night ago) suggesting to the committee the con- sideration of the desirability of forming them- selves into an agricultural society for the district over which they at present exercise jurisdic- tion ?" However little gifted' you may be compared with your fellow editor (.'). and however much your training- at one of our great universities may have interfered with your progress in journal- ism, you have at all events the gift" of writing correct English, and you seem to understand some- thing about the real meaning of words. I have never yet heard that the better-educated a man is the less qualified he is for an editor's chair but I can quite believe that this is »o if the highest attainments of modern journalism are fairly mirrored in your contemporary's effusions. He has, indeed, the srrace to confess that he is nothing if not critical." No one would dream of accusing him of being critical because one must know before ha can judge. Since he is not critical, he is therefore nothing. It is accounted also a sin unto you that you are the paid agent of a Radical syndicate." It should be remembered that Mr. Helm is also the paid agent of a Tory Association. I should not like to charaoterise the syndicate which controls your con- temporary by a collective name. At election times Mr. John Robinson's influence is paramount, and the respectable paper that is not plrdqecL to 01.1' coarse of action," and is, therefore, a reliable jjuide to the intelligent voter," becomes Sir Morgan Morgan's organ, [n times of peace, when only flushing questions agitate the district, this respectable paper is under the control of Mr. George Thomas. In licensing times, it is con- trolled by Mr. George Thomas, Mr. John Jewel Williams, and others who represent the publican interest in the district. And I have no doubt that in School Board elections, it will be controlled by Churchmen. When quietness once more provails, thia reliable guide will return to its normal condition of stupid inaction, and the editor will have time to devote to his duties as member of the Temperance Council and the representative of a brewer's organ.—Yours, &:o., DISGUSTED NO LIGHT MATTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. DEAR SIR, — Would you kindly insert the following. In your last week's issue Captain. Davies is reported to have said in answer to the charge brought by Mr. Rees against Mr. Rutter of sub-letting the joinery for the Barry Board Schools, that it was not a serious charge. On behalf of the Cadoxton Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners I protest against the charge being treated in that manner, even by Captain Davies. I should think that Mr. Rutter having being charged with breaking an agreement between the Board and himself. would in itself be a serious charge even to Captain Davies, and again by Mr. Rutter having his joinery made in Cardiff, he is helping to cripple the trade of the district while, if Mr. Rutter had the work made in his own workshop, he would be employing some of the joiners that are now out of work^m the district. This might not be a serious matter to those who are in permanent situations. but to the members of our society who are in work to day and out to-morrow it is very serious in- deed.—I ain, kc., T. S. THOMAS. Branch Secretary. November 2nd, 1892.

J Gentlemen,- I am thankful for the bottle of "Gwilym Erans' Bitters" you sent me by j your Bradford representative. I have only taken a few good strong doses, and I already feel 20 per cent. better, but having j suffered from Ague for some months in India, I do not ex- Pect it to work wonders at once. To-day, while dining in Y, the town, two of my friends re- Marked that I was looking much better. I told them that the cause of it was my taking your Quinine Bitters," when a gentleman sitting opposite asked me the name of it. I was very pleased to tell him, and also where he could get it in Bradford. He has been suffer- ing from Indigestion, and I hope Gwilym Evans Bitters" will do him as much good as it has done me. With every wish for their success, I am, gentlemen, Yours faithfully, J. C. K. THOMAS.
