OUR PUBLIC MEN". [BY DARIUS DARE.] — $ — XI. MR. GEORGE THOMAS. The Barry and Cadoxton. Local Board could with some truth be described as a Board of all the talents," for all sorts and conditions of men find on it a place. There is on it a retired officer and county gentleman, and a self-made man of enormous wealth medical men and a civil engineer; a merchant, a farmer, an auctioneer, a baker, a publican, a gas and water rate collector, and Mr. George Thomas. Only two-thirds of the Board live in the town of Barry. Mr. John Cory lives everywhere. Mr. W. Thomas, at Sully, General Lee at Dinas Powis, and Mr. Georgo Thomas at Cardiff. The only important classes that are not represented on the Board are jour- nalists, lawyers, aid ministers. Journalists are not there because they have plenty of other work to do lawyers are not there because there is no pay attached to the ofEce and ministers are not there because they hne no liking for the dry work of transacting business, with only an occasional chance of airing their eloquence. Of this Board so heterogeneous in its elements, and so admirable, on tho whole, in its works, there is no better member than the subject of the present sketch. Mr. George Thomas was born at 'Cardiff in 1849, so that ho is now in the heyday of manhood, when to the vigour and energy of youth is added the calmness of judgment and genial "level-headedness" which experience alone can give. His father was one of the first members of the Roath Local Board of Health, and remained a member of that body up to the time of his death. Itrr. Thomas was educated at the principal school in Cardifi; in those days—namely, Air, Trice's. In 1834 he be- came connected with the TaSf Vale Company becoming an assistant in the manager's depart- ment and engineering department. When a scienoe and art school was started, Mr. Thomas became it-s firs!; af-r,dent, Tr the first year be carried off the fii'st prize, and in the steond year he divided *he Mayor's prize with Mr. Tilley, who has since made his name as an etcher. In 1836 he was articled to Mr. W. B. James, architect and sur- veyor for the county of Monmouth, and after- wards ho was engaged assistant at Cardiff to Mr. Wearing, the borough surveyor. In 1874 he entered into partnership with Mr. Jamos and Mr. Seward, and the firm is still carried on under the title of Messrs. Seward and Thomas. Most of the principal publio buildings at Cardiff and Barry were designed by the nrm the Infirmary, Town- hall, and Science and Art School at Cardifl, and the Board Schools at Barry, Holton, and Cadoxton testify to their professional skill. Mr. Thomas is a Fellow of the Surveyor's Institution, and a mem- ber of the Society of Architects, of which body he is a member of the council, and also the local hon. secretary for South Wales. When the first sod of Barry Dock was cut, Mr. George Thomas determined to cast in his lot with the Welsh Chicago. In conjunction with some others he took six acres of land belonging to Mr. Oliver Jenkins for building purposes. Since that time his interest in the district has been continu- ally increasing, so that now the syndicates with which he is connected altogether hold about 115 acres of building land, and one syndicate alone is said to have spent over £ 50.000 in the district. It was but natural that a man with a large and increasing stake in the prosperity of Barry should be anxious to associate himself with local public affairs. In the good old days of the vestry meet- ings, when Barry was still further away from Cardiff and civilisation than it is now, and when the only means of access to it was by Solomon Andrews' brakes or by cabs, Mr. George Thomas often cabbed it down from Cardiff to a vestry meeting. He wouJd often be well rewarded for his zeal, and would witness one of those skirmishes which no one more enjoys than he. It is true that he had not Mr. Thomas de Barri to laugh at then but those where days when a coolheaded man with a touch of humour and a large sprinkling of malice in hii composition would not seek in vain for objects wherein to exercise his pretty wit. At the time Barry and Cadoxton were, as is well-known, under the jurisdiction of the Cardiff Rural Sanitary Authority, there were no laws regulating the construction of build- ings in the district. Mr. Thomas strongly ad- vocated, and in fact originally suggested the appointment of a Parochial Committee which would advise the Rural Sanitary Authority in some matters, and partly take its place in others. A little later on Mr. Walker, the contractor of Barry Dock, presented a petition to the Local Government Beard in favour of the making of a part of the new district into a Local Board area. Mr. Walker, however, made the mistake of including only Barry and the dock., in his scheme, leaving out the greater part of Barry Dock and the whole of Cadoxton-Barry. To'Mr. George Thomas is mainly due the credit of having seen and remedied the mistake. In conjunction w.th Mr. Downing, tho secretary and solicitor of the Bar. y Company, Mr. Thomas prepared a scheme providing a fir larger Local Board areaa Mr. Thomas Codrington, some- time after, held an inquiry at Cadox to i in'o the matter, and the result of thal; inquiry was that Messrs. Thomas and Downing's scheme with a few alterations was adapted. It was in this way that Mr. Thomas became associated with Mr. Downing, and this will, therefore,' help to explain the attitude which Mr. Thomas took up at the time when the question of the appointment of a clerk came before the Local Board. In 1889, tho first Local Board election, Mr. Thomas was somewhat ignominously defeated, although he had been selected by a public meeting of ratepayers. In- deed, I believe that only one or two of the whole number selected by the public meeting were re- turned. Next year, however, Mr. Thomas had sweet revenge, for in 1890 he was returned at the head of the poll. At his first meeting he gave an earnest of the stuff he ,Vas made of, for he gave notice of motion that the public works should be at once proceeded with at Cadoxton. Since that time, he has always been an active and pains- taking member of the Board. Mr. George Thomas is really an able man, and when he, therefore, chooses to advocate certain measures, he is sure to make out a strong case. Even when he has a weak case to defend, he is able to place it in a favourable light. He is so frank about the whole thing. He doesn't say. "I admit I am largely interested in property in the district, but I assure you that that would not pre- vent me from sacrificing my own interests for the public good." That might be very fine, but it wouldn't wash. People in these cynical days are chary about believing in disinterestedness and self-sacrifice. Mr. Thomas frankly appeals to the average man in this way I am a property- owner," he says, but property-owners have rights. I amjhere to look after the interests of the property-owners as much as anything else. Thsy spend money in the district, and they have practically created the district. The interests of property-owners are identical with those of the I district, and by looking after their interests you are doing the feest for the district." It is this busiaess-like selfishnasa that makes Mr. Thomas the power he is. He makes no pretence to bo governed by exalted motives but he is always fair and just, as good business-men ought to be. His wide knowledge of things in general proves most useful on the Local Board, and there is seldom a question that crops up with which he is ro conversant. He could almost say with ono of Terence's characters, "Nihil ihnmanum a mi alienum puto." Indeed, this omniscence is one of the things which first irritated Mr. Thomas de Barri and roused his righteous wrath. It is annoy- ing to sit opposite a man who knows, or says he knows, everything, and one cf Mr. de Barri's prime ambitions is to show that Mr. Thomas knows nothing of sewers. If this wide knowledge is useful when there is a tad case to defend, it is of the greatest benefit when there is really a good caso to advocate. The only real chance Mr. Geo. Thomas has ever had to enlist the sympathies of his audience was on the occasion when the Local Board applied for compulsory powers to purchase the Gas and Water Company's under- taking. Hs has never been heard to such ex- cellent advantage. He marshalled his facts one after the other in irresistible array, and he even allowed himself to be so carried away by his subject as to indulge in an imaginative flight. His great experience and knowledge were brought to bear on the subject, with the result thais together with Mr. Meggitt and General Lee, he completely disarmed all opposition. There is no doubt that Mr. George Thomas is a strong man, and he has at all events, one devoted follower. Exactly as Dr. Treharne" dittos all that General Lee says, so Mr. George Thomas is sure of a seconder in Mr. Jewel Williams. Mr. Williams' child-like confi- dence i? not often, misplaced. Now and then, it is | Lrue, ho is led astray, as, for instance, when he back up the property owners in the flushing question, and when he excited the ire of the man who writes the Local Notes" of the South T tales Star. But taken, all in all, Mr. Thomas', public record is a very clean one, and free from many mistakes. Humanum est enare "we used to be told lin school, and there is no doubt that Mr. George Thomas has made some mistakes in his public career. But when it is considered how many controversial subjects have during the last three years cropped up in the Local Board, and that neither syndicates nor companies are ver* popular with the mass of the people, it ? surprising that Mr. Thomas, who is interested in both syndicates and companies, should have maae so few mistakes. He has sought no other public honours except a seat on the Local Board, and when in April of next year the time comes when Mr. George Thomas and three other member of the Board retire to seek re-election, I venture to predict that Mr. George Thomas, at all events, will be one of those who will be triumphantly returned.

Dalziel's correspondent at Elizabeth, Virginia, reports that there was great excitement t'lere a few nights ago. on account of a report that comet would strike the earth. Many persons ,ho had not attended church for years were present at Divine service. This was especially so aI10U< the negroes and Roman Catholics. Subsequent to the church services "praise meetings" were held, and at theso extraordinary demonstrations attracted attention. Prayer meetings were held at many private residences. Not only thf ignorant, but many educated people suffered from fright and excitement, for many believed that thf end of the B world was come. A Niagara Falls tahgram says -The news that a comet would probably strike the earth caused Farmer Andrews, of that place, to give his money away. When theComet failed to strike the earth and destroy it, Andrews went crazy. He was not the only one frigltened out of his senses by what the comet was expected to do. Mary Scrubel went to a prayer meting, in order to avoid destruction in the ordinsry way. She became very excited as the meeting progressed, and before it finished was a. mad woAan. A negro boy who was told by a crowd of roughs that the world was about to come to an end by thfi aid of a comet became a jabbering idiot ea the spot, and and has so remained since.

This match was played at Penarth. before less than 100 spectators, on a slushy turf. The visitors started the game from the Nursery end, and, after pressing the home team for a few minutes, the Penarth boys rushed up, and, after kicking over the line, a minor was registered. Loose play afterward* ensued in the centre, where Penarth once more assumed the aggres- sive, and tight scrums were formed close to the Barry line. The visitors, however, soon relieved the pres- sure, and a few minutes afterwards the Penarth cus- todian was compelled to save. After the drop out a rush was made by the home forwards, and from a line out near the Barry line a try was obtained. The kick at goal. however, failed. Shortly afterwards a minor was added. At half-time Penarth led by a try and two minors to a minor. Early in the second half George Phillips obtained a try for Barry, the kick at goal being successful. Play of a desultory character followed, and the Penarth forwards once more played the visitors on the defensive. The smart saving of Grigg, however, relieved the pressure, and the game once more continued in the centre. At the call of time the score was :—Barry, 1 goal and 1 minor Pen- arth, 1 try and 2 minors. DAnny SECONDS T. CARDIFF ST. GERMANS. Great interest was centred in the result of this match, which was played at B .rry on the Iiuttrills Ground, neither club having been beaten so far this ,season. The Germans won the toss, and Clemence.for the homsters, started the oval. Five minutes after the start Strutt, for the Germans, was disabled ,l»y a nasty kick on the head, and the visitori to the end of the game played fourteen men. In tho first half, during play in the visitors' 25, the homesters obtained a free from a mark, and Clemence succeeded in obtaining a goal from the place kick. During the second half the Germans obtained a minor. Final scoreBarry Second. 1 goal fp'.accd); St. German's, 1 minor. Re- feree, Mr. D. Williams, Barry. FERYDALH v. BA^RY liAILWAT F.C.

The greatest satisfaction has been caused in Man- chester by the announcement that the Mrnughtan Pan;:ers have received a provisional permit to play the Brc hers James until December 16th. During this week the Hangers applied to Mr. Payne, the Lanca- j shire County secretary, to requisition Mr. Rowland Hill. t,he f?n?!ish Union secretary, to wire all rcre- sentatives of his body, asking them to agree to a pro- visi'ui-tl permit for the men to play on Saturday and Saturlay next, and with his courtesy Mr. Hill complied with the request. This procedure, of course, took some lime, and tlv Kangert expected: the answer oil i'iiits Friday night, Mr. Davies, their secretary, received a telegrun from Mr. Hill, saying the permission w:is granted, and the Jameses were therefore at liberty to take part in the match against Crompton ox- Saturday. It is stated the Yorkshire didegates gave a solid consent to the sanction being granted and it is now thought that at the meeting on th) 16th inst.. at which the Bangors will probably be represented, an unconditional transfer will be grauted. MEETING OF THE MATCH COMMITTEE. An informal meeting of the Welsh Rugby Union Match Committee was held at the .New Iun, Ponty- pridd, after the trial match on Saturday. Tile business consisted of fixing a date on which to select the international team to meet England. Although no definite date was decided, it appears to be under- stood that the selection will take place on Fridav, December 16th, 18s2. The other business was to con- sider a letter received from the secretary of the International Board respecting birth qualification for international players. The committee, after a few minutes discussion, instructed the Welsh representa- tives on the International Board to take such action in this matter as they thought fit. FIXTURES FOR NEXT SATURDAY.

'jpnn great, obstacle to the universal adoption of Life -i- Assurance amongst salaried oHicials is tbe fact that in most offices premiums remain payable 'luring the whole period of life, bine; 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 arc entitled to retire with pensions from their employment constantly tind 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 Polisies, 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 arcturn of the premium paid, with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per cent. per annum.
