BARRY DISTRICT CHAMBER OF TRADE. THE POOR LAW UNION. On Tuesday evening the ordinary meeting of the Barry District Chamber of Trade was held at Harry's Restaurant. Barry Dock, under the presi- dency of Mr. D. T. Alexander. The minutes of the previous meeting and Council meetings were read and confirmed, the Secretary read a number of letters received. RAILWAY RATES. The President intimated that as the correspon- dence which had transpired in connection with the rates had been read, he need not remind them ;that the matter was in the hands of the Council, who were carrying out their wishes. Speaking with reference to the statements made by Mr. Mundella, he hoped the Government would move in the matter. NAVAL RESERVE STATION. With regard to the establishment of a -Royal Naval Reserve Station at Coldknap. or near Barry, an exhaustive and well worded petition was read. It will be forwarded, when filled with signatures, to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. It was resolved, on the motion of the Chairman that the secretary and himself should attach their signatures to the petition on behalf of the Chamber, and that all public bodies in the district be asked to co-operate with the Chamber to try and join this end. MARKETS AND FAIRS. On the motion of the Chairman', it was resolved to delegate the secretary. Mr. L. Lewis, Mr. E. Hughes, and Mr. L. W. Jones to wait ppon the Local Board at their next meeting to express the views of the Chamber that they considered it inadvisable at the present time to established cattle markets and fairs. Mr. B. Lewis remarked it was not the intention of the Board to spend about a £ 1.000 or £1,500 to erect market building, &c., bat, just as an experiment, only to construct an enclosure and a few cattle pens, as they had land for the purpose. PORT SANITARY AUTHORTIY. A conversation having taken place with re- ference to the forthcoming inquiry to be held re the appointment of the Barry district, from Lavernock Point to the Nash, as a Port Sanitary Authority, the President and the medical members of the Chamber were asked to attend the inquiry to give evidence. PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE POOR-LAW .UNION. The question of the advisability of forming a Poor-law Union for the parishes of Barry, Cadox- ton, Merthyrdovan, Sully, and adjacent parishes, distinct from that of Cardiff was the chief item on the agenda, and occupied the attention, of the meet- ing for some considerable time. Mr. G. G-arnett, who has been overseer, and a guardian for many years, was the first to express an opinion on the matter. It was most desirable, he said, to have a separation, a proceeding' which would benefit this district very considerably. He pointed out that the rate in Canton was 4d., next came Leckwith who paid (id., and then St. Andrews paid 5d., but when they came to Cadoxton the rate was 10^d. It seemed particularly strange to him that Canton, being so contiguous to the Union, paid 4d., and only coming to Cadoxton the Union should levy a lOJd rate—a sum which proved a. veritable gold mine for the guardians at Cardiff. The .pbor rate at Cadoxton was Is. 6d., which was most exhorbitant in the present state of trade, but if the parishes he had mentioned could erect a suitable building to house the poor, he thought they could manage almost for a 16th part of what they contribute now to the Union at Cardiff. It was everybody's feeling with whom he had come in contact, and it was certainly his own. that this district could very well manage its own affairs. The rateable value of Cadoxton amounted to £ 78,616, and their contribution t Cardiff Union this year-the most depressed wliioh the district had experienced—was £ 4,281. For this handsome sum the Union had expended in the Cadoxton parish only £300.. th1.1S they had made the authorities a clear present of nearly £ 4000. (Cries of Shame.) Mr. Rees Phillips, overseer for the Cadoxton parish, said the total rateable value "of Cadoxton, Barry. Merthyrdovan, and Sully was £133,833 18s. The calls for the last half-year for the four parishes named amounted ao £ 3,936, but the local expenses under every head were only £1,28317s. 7d., so that they had over-paid £2,652 2s: 5d. Houses for the poor eould be built, fitted out, and offered at a cost of £1,066 a year, so that by having a separate Union, for only these four parishes, they would save £ 1,535. and a rate of 4-21d. in the £ would be sufficient instead of Is. 6 Jd. in the £ as at present. (Hear, hear.) Mr. B. Lewis did not know in the name of com- mon sense why this district should pay £5,000 per annum to keep the poor of Cardiff. There must be some weakness in Cardiff somewhere, for they were not able to compete with infectious diseases when they came. At the present time the Poor Law Authorities were in communication with the Clerk pf the Local Board with reference to the accom- modation of pauper patients at their own local, but small hosital. This fact alone, he considered, was sufficient to justify a separation, or at any rate to have a great reduction in the rates. Mr. W. Miller congratulated the Chairman upon the timely action he had taken in opposing the ex- penditure by the Guardians of £10,000 on proposed new offices, and said the sooner the better the dis- trict would be disconnected from Cardiff, The Chairman having explained his reasons for opposing such an unwarranted expenditure at the present time, remarked that he was glad the scheme had been defeated, as he considered it a scheme which would only benefit the. Cardiff G-uar- dians. He thought the question of separation was one involving very serious considerations from many points of view, and he would suggest that the matter should be left in the hands of certain gentlemen to procure the best information, which would entitle them to be represented, and in the meantime he would try and induce the Deputy- Chairman of the Board of Guardians (Mr. 0. H. Jones), who was an authority on Poor Law matters, and General Lee, to attend a;"special meet- ing of the Chamber, when the facts could be placed before them for consideration. 1,1 Mr. London moved that the President be autho- rised to invite the attendance of Mr. O. H. Jones, General Lee, and representatives of the surround- ing parishes to attend the next meeting. Mr. Jones seconded, and it was carried. J'

Glycerine distilled, condensed, and purified, for Internal use, is highly recommended by many emi- nent Medical Practitioners for the relief of obstinate and irritating Coughs. Its solvent power has enabled the Proprietor to combine in this Elixir the active principles of the most approved expec- torant and soothing drugs of the Pharmacopoeia, including Ipecacuanha, Marshmallow, Squill, Tolu; &c.

This Cream is almost entirely free from the peculiar taste and smell of the crude oil, is much more readily digested and assimilated, and can fre- quently be taken when the patient has an aversion to the ordinary oil. Combined with Hypophos- phites it will be found an invaluable medicine in diseases characterised by debility, impoverished blood, and loss of brain and nerve power.

ROUND THE TOW IS. rBY MR. GADABOUT.] r, J am mtormed that three young women in- sulted and used disgusting language towards a young lady near Weston Farm on. Sunday after- noon. If I hear any more complaints I shall have to give greater prominence to the affair, and I have heard a hint dropped that if such conduct is re- peated a little piece of blue paper may be issued. I am informed that the gentleman who was recently elevated by the toe of the boot of someone else for looking into the bedroom window finds it exceedingly uncomfortable to sit down. Poor. fellow, he finds there is nothing like being on the mpve. "The couple of young ladies who find pleasure in perambulating the streets of Barry Dock and pass remarks upon those whom they meet should pur- chase, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest a little book on politeness. s I am told that three young men used disgusting language while walking along Holton-road on Saturday night. If they cannot prevent their dragging-up" from showing itself I should advise them to seek less frequented roads in the future when they have to talk about such things. 3? If a certain gent has a nice little girl at Barry" there is no occasion for his telling everyone about her. o It has been mentioned to me that there is a nurse at Penarth who delights in talking to the postman at the railway station. Those who frequent that neighbourhood think that she knows when he is about to fetch the mails from the down train, and takes the children from an airing just in time to meet him. I wonder whether he kisses the baby for the nurse's sake," as the song says. There is a young gentleman in Penarth also who is sweet on a dressmaker of that town. Last week he went into the room where she was at work, and sat down, but rose quite unexpectedly. He now declares that, while he failed to see where his beautiful girl kept her pins, he had no difficulty in finding them. a I should advise that youthful rider who on Sunday last was galloping a horse to seek more secluded spots than the neighbourhood of Main- street, Cadoxton, especially after dark. II< A stranger wended his was through Penarth last week singing verses from that well-known hymn, Lord I hear the showers of blessing," but when he came to the words Let some droppings fall on me," it began to rain, and he sought the shelter of the nearest doorway. Who is the conductor in this district who finds it necessary to use a cane for a baton. Does he think it reminds the members of his singing class of their school days, and so helps to prevent their raising the roof. ok Can any of my readers oblige me with the names of the couples who were unduly spooney on Barry Island on Sunday last ? H. How those London deputations seem to annoy some of the members of the Local Board. ± It seemed at times as if that internal harmony for which our Local Board; is j ustly famed was rudely to be broken. Jk Members who, as a rule, are noted for, their strong attachment one for the other, gazed sternly and viciously one at another. In fact, it seemed as if, for a time, the Board was to be transferred into a miniature House of Commons. One member threatens that, if the Board wants him to go on a deputation to London another time, he will not be found willing, but # The Cardiff Guardians have received a letter from Miss Jenner, of Wenvoe, kindly offering to place the house, Typica, at the service of the Board for 1 the benefit of those who would avail them- selves of the services of the public vaccinator during the small-pox scare, as she did some years ago under similar circumstances. X I understand that the Rev. J.!Finch, of Swansea, will preach two sermons on Sunday next at the Bible Christian Church, Barry Dock, in connection with the Home and Foreign .Mission. On the following Tuesday the annual missionary meeting will be held when several addresses will be de- livered. If the young lady who sometimes travels from Dinas Powis to Cardiff does not discontinue her flirtation with a porter at Penarth Dock I shall certainly have to call attention to the mater. I notice in the list of successful students at the Cambridge Local Examinations, the names of the following :—Boys T. M. Felton, Cowbridge C. E. Oliver, Trelawn House, Penarth T. A. Hughes, Penarth and T. John, Cowbridge. Girls A. B. Gibson, 14, Westbourne-road, E. A. Taylor, 30, Westbourne-road, B. E. Proctor, 41, Windsor-road, and M. C. Teck, St. Audries, Penarth. The General's suggestion that a central authority for the dealing with the invasion of cholera was a very good one. # General Lee did not relish the idea of being appointed returning officer at the forthcoming Local Board election. However, when he saw that it was his duty he acquiesced without a murmur. An example some other members might with advantage copy. ♦ There will be a grand entertainment at the English Wesleyan Chapel, Cadoxton, on Monday next. I am informed that the teachers of one of our Board Schools took advantage of the fine weather on Wednesday, and had their photograph taken as a group. I hope they will" come out well. Who was the young couple from Barry-road that were walking from the danciug class in Vere- street last Thusday evening in such a peculiar manner. Why don't they walk home in a proper style instead of clasping each other around the waist with both arms and walking sideways. w A certain young man had better behave himself while in a dancing room, and leave off playing so much with the married ladies, or else he might get their husbands after him. I hear that there is likely be ructions at a local society. A young lady and her beau are members and fellow-workers, and whilst their courtship pro- gressed, society matters progressed swimmingly. Now that poor young fellows has had the cold shoulder, and he feels compelled to resign his office. He has my warmest sympathy. Will you have this woman to be your awful wife ?" said a local registrar this week to a would- be husband. He had dropped the 1" in lawful, and made matters somewhat complicated. I learn that Mr. Konrad Leigh- proroses to re- open the Cadoxton Theatre. I wish him success in his venture. A young lady purchased a new jacket on Satur- day, but forgot to take the price ticket off before she wore it. I am told that the fact was noticed in the streets of Cadoxton on Sunday last. A young lady was going over the bridge leading from Windsor-road to West Cottages, Penarth, the other day. It appears the young lady was rather stout, and was waddling up the steps, when some young men said, It's a good job she has no stiff or wooden leg, or she would not be able to cross." She said it took away her her puff (wind). On Sunday last, on going through the dingle, I noticed one of the steps had been broken. It would be a good job if it were mended, as someone might fall down and receive injury. When young men allow their young ladies to keep them out so long on Sunday nights, and lose the last 'bus, they must not swear. It's a bad habit. I have heard that the little ink-slinging concern- ing the ball which took place at the Cardiff fashion- able seaside suburb has caused great commotion and indignation in the hearts of the ladies most particularly interested. They know (in their minds) who contributed the news, but where the joke comes in is they pay the great compliment to the wrong person altogether. I have been told that a young man contemplated returning the compliment, but was known to remark, I shan't have anything to do with it to be made the' victim of those newspaper chaps' chaff." • Great Scot! Is it true the divine creature who was the originator of the ball had actually to be her own M.C., as her particular swain refused to act. Who is the gentleman that takes a leading part in the Barry String Band, who received a leek from his Best Sunday girl on St. David's Day ?

BARRY COIS BILL IS SURE TO BE PASSED. 0 NO OPPOSITION NOW. [SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE STAR.J We are informed on the best authority that the Barry Company's Bill will be unopposed in Parliament, and will be sure to pass into law. There were petitions against the Bill. In the first place the Great Western Railway petitioned against it, but it has now been decided that they have no locus standi, and their petition conse- quently falls to the ground. With regard to opposition from the Taff Vale Railway and the Mount Pleasant Estate proprietors we find that the Barry Company have abandoned the railway which would block up the road near the Wenvoe Arms Hotel Cadoxton, and having inserted clauses which satisfy both petitioners the petitions have been withdrawn. The National Telephone Company were the promoters of the fourth petition, but as the Barry Company have decided not to work their tramway by electricity this petition also is with- drawn. The fifth petition was presented by the deacons of a chapel at Pontypridd, but that also is withdrawn, as the Company will divert their line at this point. THE BARRY BILL IS THEREFORE UNOPPOSED, and it is believed there will not be the slightest difficulty in its passing.

BARRY RAILWAY TRAFFIC. The official return for the week ending March 4th last shows that the average coaching was £ 271; goods, £ 130 ^minerals, £ 2,843; dock dues, &c., £ 3,121 making a total of £ 6,365 as against £ 6,496 for the corresponding week of last year. The aggregate for the past eight weeks has been £ 57,865, as against j659,619 in the corresponding period of 1892, being a decrease of £ 1,754.

Barry, and Barry Dock the prive was awarded to the Barry Choir. Mr. Price, Cardiff, performed the duties of adjudicator in an excellent manner, which afforded satisfaction to all the competitors.. Miss S. B. Thomas accom- panied most of the competitions. The presentation was then proceeded with. Mr. D. Gibbon, deacon, said that some time ago Mr. Williams gave notice to the Church of his intention of giving up the pastoral charge for reasons best known to himself. He would not say much, as the address which they intended to pre- sent Mr. Williams with that night fully and clearly represented the feelings and sentiments of the whole Church and congregation. The address was read by Mr. Gibbon, and then he called upon Mr. B. Davies (the secretary of the testimonial fund) to present it to Mr. Williams. Mr. Davies spoke a few appropriate words, to the effect that he felt that he was highly honoured in being asked to be the secretary to the testimonial fund, and to have the pleasure of presenting Mr. Williams with the address. He had been a mem- ber of Mr. Williams' Church for years at Cadoxton before that gentleman came to start the new cause at Barry Dock. Mr. Williams had given up his time and energy to promote the cause there and at Cadoxton. He liked the two pictures very much, but he admired the address most. The con- tents of the address would last longer than the pictures. Every sentence in the address was true. (Hear, hear.) Mr. T, M. Williams, a deacon, said that he was very glad a presentation had been made to Mr. and Mrs. Williams, as they had both earned the respect and esteem of the Church. They had worked at Cadoxton years before Mr. Williams took a branch out of Cadoxton to form a new Baptist Church at Barry Dock. Dr. W. Lloyd Edwards, as treasurer, thanked all the friends for their contributions towards the tes- timonial. Mr. Williams and himself had been friends for years, and he hoped that their friendship would continue. WMr. Rees, the chairman of the meeting, was glad that the Church at Salem showed such love and respect to Mr. Williams (their late minister") and his wife, and he trusted that other churches would follow suit, and he was also glad to find the local press and ministers on such amicable terms. Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Jones then presented the photos, which were excellent life size repro- ductions, and handsomely framed, and Mr. Davies, presented the address, which was in Welsh, and of which the following is a translation :— Presented to the Rev. G. Llechidon Williams by the Salem Baptist Church, Barry Dock. Dear Bro.—On the occasion of your resigning your pastoral charge of our (Jhurch we feel, as a Church that the opportunity should not be allowed to pass by without expressing our esteem and regard for you and our dear sister, Mrs. Williams, and to do so publicly. THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE WELSH BAPTIST CAUSE AT BARRY DOCK. We cannot be otherwise than grateful, and extremely proud to have an opportunity of bearing testimony to the active part you took in the Church in this place jointly with other brethren, but you were the chief mover. You secured ground to erect a chapel, you built a convenient school-room, found money, and the whole was done without help or troubling anyone for assistance. Such are the facts, which are at present, and will be for years to come, a monument of your affection and pious zeal for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your ministry amongst us, your labours as a minister was full of love and peace, and was crowned with fair prosperity. As the foundation was laid through your instrumentality,thelgood seed sown by you will certainly bring forth fruit, and as a consequence, the cause of Jesus Christ amongst the Welsh people will be benefitted—it would be a means of Salvation to many, and a glory to the author of Salvation. The secret of your power and influence in society is to be found in your philanthropic principles-honesty, justness, and kind-heartedness—which are true ele- ments of the best of society, and all who know you are ready to testify to your possession of those qualities. As members of the Church, we can also add our testimony to your brotherly love, and faithfulness, and your readiness to help where help was needed. In conclusion, we wish you a long life to serve Jesus Christ in the future as in the past, and may the sun of prosperity and comfort in this world always shine on you and, finally, may you enter into ever- lasting bliss in the world hereafter. Yours, on behalf of the Church and Committee, W. LLOYD EDWARDS, Chairman. JAMES JONES. Treasurer. BENJAMIN DAVIES, Secretary. March, 1893. /■ Rev. LI. Williams returned thanks for himself and his wife in well-chosen language. At the conclusion of the meeting votes of thanks were accorded to the chairman and adj udi- cator.

CORRESPONDENCE. The Editor does not hold himself responsible for the opinions of his Correspondents.

We have received a letter from a gentleman who believes that he was referred to in Round Towns" last week by Mr. Gadabout as the in- dividual whose hat blew off in Vere-street.

THE question is often asked:—" Are diseases or Ailments more prevalent in Winter than in the Summer season. The testimony of Medical men. as well as our own )bservation, clearly shows that there is a greater imount of sickness in the former season than in genial summer. We naturally associate winter with a low state of vitality. Persons of weak and delicate constitutions ;oon feel the effects of frost and snow, sleet and rain, 3old winds and fierce storms. These have a depressing .mluence upon all persons, and various ailments, such 1S indigestion, nervousness, palpitation, bronchitis, low spirits, and several other forms of disease, are apt to ittack us at such times. To resist these attacks successfully, it is necessary jhat the body be protected with warm clothing, and lourished with more or better food. It is evident then, ;hat they who are most liable to, and suffer most from winter ailments, are those who are least able to procure me means of withstanding them, or to obtain medical lid to combat, them, viz., the working classes and the poor. It behoves these, therefore, to endeavour to fortify die constitution to enable them the better to cope with she dangers to which they are exposed. This can best be done by the use of good Vegetable Tonic. It is unanimously admitted that the best and most effective Vegetable Tonic known at present is that renowned preparation- GWILYM EVANS' BITTERS. GWILYM EVANS' BITTERS. GWILYM EVANS' BITTERS.
