THE BARRY BILL. REPORTED FOR THIRD READING, On Wednesday, this unopposed"Bill came before Mr. Mellor's House of Commons Committee. The objects of the measure are to authorise the Barry Railway Company to construct a new dock, new railways, tramways, and other works, to stop up parts of certain roads, and acquire additional lands. The agent to the Bill having explained the various clauses, the Chairman found the preamble proved, and reported the Bill for third reading.

THE DEEP SEA ENTRANCE TO BARRY DOCK. • é APPROACHING CEREMONY, LADY WINDSOR TO LAY THE FOUNDATION STONE. The formal laying of the foundation stone of the New Deep Sea Entrance to the Barry Dock will be laid by Lady Windsor, wife of the Right Hon. Chairman of the Barry Company, on the 7th April. It is anticipated that there will be a. distin- guished gathering of directors and shareholders, and other gentlemen who take an interest in the well-being and prosperity of Barry. We believe we are correct in saying that Barry Dock will be the only dock in the Channel with a. deep sea entrance, which therefore places it in a unique position, and very materially adds to the many unrivalled facilities and advantages Barry Dock can offer to the shipowners.

BANKING ENTERPRISE AT BARRY DOCK, MESSRS. LLOYD'S NEW BANK. One of the finest buildings in this neighbour- hood is that erected for Lloyd's Bank at Barry Dock, and where the banking business of that well-known firm will shortly be transferred. It stands at the corner of Dock View-road and Thompson-street—a beautiful specimen of archi- tecture. Every arrangement has been made for the carrying on of the increasing business of this popular bank, and while ample provisions are made for the use of the public, the comfort of the officials has also been well considered. The main entrance is at the angle of the building and facing the road leading to the dock, from which place the bank itself presents a very fine appearance. Just inside the entrance is the main counter, and behind the accommodation for the large staff of clerks which is required. The manager's office is a little to the rear of the front and business transacting room, but is a very good and useful position. There is also a side or private entrance, while on the first and second floors the private apartments are situated. The building is in Queen Ann's" style of architecture, and does credit to the architect, Mr. John Gethin, A.R.I.B.A. of the firm of Messrs. Richards and Gethin,. Windsor Chambers, Westgate-street, Cardiff. The contract for erecting the building was entrusted in the able hands of Messrs. Jones Bros, Park-street, Cardiff, who have done their work well. Mr. Mitchell, who is the manager of Lloyd's Bank at Barry Dock, is well-known for his thorough business habits, and to his exertion in a great measure is due the rapid growth of the business in this district.

THE BARRY BILL UP TO DATE. WE are pleased to find that the Bill pro- moted by the Barry Railway Company for their new docks and railway is rapidly getting through its various stages, and 001 Wednesday it was reported for the third reading. There is not the least doubt now but that the Bill will pass, and soon become law. Not only are the people of this district anxiously awaiting the final scene, but we are in a position to state- that the Barry Company are so confident of success that they have everything in preparation for commencing the .new works as soon as. the Bill is passed. It is evident that the Company are pushing everything forward, and, as will be seen y z;1 in another column, preparations are being made for the laying of the foundation stone of the Deep Sea Lock by Lady Windsor. Through the cojirtesy of the General Manager of the Barry Company we have received a very I' fine plan of the Company's dock brought up to. the present year, 1893. It is an exquisite piece of work, and Executed from the original of Alr. J. Bell, engineer. In addition to clearly show- ing the extent of the Company's property and the great advantage Barry has over other ports, the plan of the proposed new dock, deep-water lock, and new coal tips and sidings are brought out prominently. In the notes which accom- panythe plan it is stated that when the deep lock is completed vessels drawing 13 feet of water can enter or leave at low spring tides, and during fifteen days of each month vessels draw- ing 18 feet can enter and leave at low water. This is a great advantage, and enjoyed but by Barry. The approach to the dock is remarkably easy, and within 700 yards of the entrance of the dock there is a depth of 2G feet of water at low spring tides, whereas at the neighbouring docks in the Port If Cardiff a similar depth of water is not reached within 3 miles and 21 miles respectively. The 1 entrance to the dock is well protected by the eastern and western breakwater. In giving the dimensions of the dock, &c., it is stated that the dock itself is 3,100 feet in length by 1,100 feet, basin 600 feet by 500 feet, -deep lock entrance 647 feet by 65 feet Barry Railway Company's Commercial Graving Dock, 743 feet by 100 at top, and 113 feet 6111. at bottom Barry Graving Dock Company's Graving Dock, 732 feet by 100 feet at top and 113 feet 6 in. at bottom. In dealing with the capabilities of the dock it is stated that there are eleven high level coal staiths, eight low level, and two movable, and that the largest steamers can be bunkered under these tips while light, and without insuring any charges for clearing shute, &c. No less than 20 hydraulic movable and four fixed cranes are provided, one 12-ton fixed crane, one steam floating crane, one 5-ton and one 3-ton move- able steam cranes, one 12-ton and one 30-cwt. movable hand cranes are provident. The Barry Dock Company also claim that they have done more than any other port in the Bristol Channel—steamers drawing 25 feet have left the dock on the lowest neap- tide. Dealing with the imports and exports from the half-year ending 31st December, 1839, to 31st December, 1892, there has been 247,717 tons of the former, and 12,463,169 tom of the latter. During the same period no less than 6,629 vessels arrived at the dock, with a tonnage of 6,501,279. Other details show that the dock is well provided with tug-boats, &c., and that the pilotage charges are low. Attention is also called to the fact that in the immediate vicinity of the dock are the" offices of the Customs, Board of Trade, Post-office, Telegraph and Telephone; while several banks have premises close by. The excellent hotel/accommodation is referred to, and the notes conclude with a list of directors and officials. -+- LOCAL BOARD'S GAS AND WATER BILL. WE congratulate the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board upon the result of their efforts to secure on behalf of the people the direct con- trol of the local gas and water supply. It was with the full consent of the ratepayers that they approached Parliament for powers to com- pel the Barry and Cadoxton Gas and Water Company to sell their undertaking, and although it was well-known that the Company were pre- pared to fight them, and that there was no precedent for a compulsory sale, still the repre sentatives of the ratepayers believed that they were advocating what was right and just, and determined to go on. The whole matter was left in very able hands when it was consigned to the charge of the Parliamentary Committee -General Lee, Mr. Meggitt, and Mr. George Thomas. Each of these gentlemen have worked hard in the interests of the people, and we feel sure that the ratepayers will the more value the services of Mr. George Thomas (whose term, of office now expires) by re-electing him to the Local Board. As Chairman of the Public Works Committee he is invaluable. We think that the Local Board acted in the best interests of the rateyayers when they secured the services of such an able expert as Mr. Charles Hawksley. The Committee of the House of Commons were anxious to have some evidence as to whether the terms centered into by the Local Board were fair and reason- able, and the statement made by Mr. Hawksley, which appears in another column, is conclusive. As we announced in our last issiie-ayid were at first the only journal which had the result- the Committee had agreed with the Gas and Water Company to take over the works at a sum of JE152,000, and £17,000 Debentures. After hearing the lucid statement of Mr. G. Thomas at the special meeting on Monday last we feel sure that the ratepayers will feel with us that the Committee actecl wisely and in the best interests of the public. They have secured. for the ever-rising district of Barry a boon which many towns four or five times its size would rejoice at receiving. Barry, too, will rejoice that it has been able to lead the way, and-to show other places what its inhabitants are really made Qt. Barry is progressive, if nothing else, while the representatives of its large population are actuated and imbued with the same spirit.. We are pleased to say that the: Local Board have saved a considerable amount of expense and worry by agreeing with the enemy,, but they have not moved one step from; the firm position which they have hitherto, taken up. As was explained by the Chairman of the meeting on Monday if the Board had pressed forward with their Bill against the wish of the Company, and had succeeded iFli carrying it in spite of all opposition the terms for settlement would have had to be referred to an arbitrator, whose expenses would have had to be paid by the Local Board. Now that body have secured for the people an undertaking which cannot fail to be of value to the' district in every shape and form, and at a reasonable price,. The Committee of the House of Commons have decided that the period for the purchase of the water undertakings shall not be longer than 50 years-the undertaking upon which the Local Board is entering being a paying concern. The terms for the gas will be 40 years, and for the expenses 10-3.11 repay- ments to commence after the expiration of three years. Of course the Local Board will not take over the concern until January next, but the ratepayers can rest assured that with the able men which they have at the helm their house will, in the meantime, be put in perfect order. More than that the ratepayers can now feel that they too have an interest in the gas and water supplied, and that in the future their representatives will control it. In concluding we would draw attention to the fact that by 1897 the district will probably have considerably increased in rateable value, and also in consumption of gas and water, and any repayments which will then have to be made will not be felt in the same way as it will at present. Until 1897 interest will only have to be paid on the amount borrowed. 0 A LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. JTOJIFIRR RAIKES established the first Sunday Schools in 1781. The insignificance of their commencement.! is only equalled by the splendour of 'their present achievements and the far-reaching influence which they wield. They are now an all-important factor in our religious life, and, in a very true sense, may be referred to as the nurseries of the Churches. In them our children pass their most impression- able years, and their after-life is largely coloured and shaped by the impressions then received. No one will deny the absolute im- portance of making our Sunday Schools as efficient and as attractive as possible to juniors and seniors alike. The silent, but very signifi- cant, law of evolution is felt here, as elsewhere, creating new necessities and demanding fresh ways and; means to satisfy them. Indeed, we feel more than ever that new wine cannot be put into old wineskins with impunity, not even in the name of pious dogma. "The qualifications which the teacher must possess are by no means what they were even a few years ago. Transparent sincerity is not enough-it must be wedded to knowledge, tact, and ..judgment. Dulness is the rock of offence in our modern life, and let us look upon it as a piece of welcome optimism that wc will not have it at any price, certainly not in our Sunday Schools, if we still wish them to carry out their function and steer clear of effeteness. Twenty-two years after the fir3t Sunday fe'aool was opened-1803-the Sunday &Shcb' Union in the Old Bailey, London, was form 3d to stimulate and encourage Sunday School teachers at home and abroad to greater exertions in the promotion of religious education. By mutual communication to improve the methods of instructions. To ascertain those situations where Sunday Schools are most needed, and to promote their establishment. To supply the books and stationery suited for Sunday Schools at reduced prices." We are glad, therefore, to note that our local Sunday Schools, Church of England and Nonconformist ar^ recognising the necessity of establishing a Union which is calculated to weld their common interests together, be they what they may. This is as it should be. We are not sanguine enough to believe that the Millenium will immediately follow, but we do say that this concerted action in order to realize a common and worthy end is not only a consummation devoutly to be wished, but savours more of the true spirit of Christianity than that temper of mind—not of a particularly beautiful order-which existed between the Samaritans and the Jews, and which prided itself upon possessing a superior egotism. One of the speakers at the pre- liminary and well-attended meeting held on Friday last suggested the desirability of hold- ing a further meeting in a week's time as in his opinion enthusiasm only lasts about a week." A very good test of its shallow, if not of its spurious nature, we should say for the enthusiasm which accomplishes anything in the world is that which refuses to die. Robert Raikes himself is a grand example of the enthusiasm we refer to — undemonstrative, long suffering, and burning. We can only say that we wish the "proposed Union every success, and hope to see it in full work as early as possible. It is surprisingly gratifying to notice how a meeting of this nature in its composite character tends to minimise, if not to erase, for the time being, the sectarian differences which are too much with us. "I have learned," says Ernest Renan, that history is not a simple game of abstractions that men are more than doctrines." And some day we shall perhaps spell out the weighty value of these words. -1r,-

LOCAL NOTES. THE POST OFFICE QUESTION. We are informed that the Postal Authorities have still under consideration the question of the establishing of another office at Barry Dock, hut Pyke-street is mentioned as the probable locality. We are all alive to the fact that a telegraph office is sadly needed in the neigh- bourhood of Holton-road, and feel sure that it only requires a little pressure to be put on those in authority to bring this abost. Why cannot the Local Board move in the matter ? It would require but a small guarantee to establish tele- graphic communication in that neighbourhood, and for the sum of about £ 5 per annum I think it can be done. A LATE DELIVERY WANTED. Many of our readers have repeatedly com- plained of the necessity of the Post-Office Authorities bringing about a, .later delivery of letters for this district, and those whose busi- ness transactions are numerous feel the want more keenly than others. At present the last delivery is at about 5 p.m., but that is too early to catch many of the incoming mails. Why cannot the authorities arrange for a delivery to take plage between seven and eight o'clock in the evening ? It would be of the greatest advantage to the neighbourhood, and we trust that those who have the making of the neces- sary arrangements will do what they can in this matter. WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. The supporters of the Liberationist Society have made preparations for a monster meeting to be held at the Market-hall, Cadoxton, on Tuesday evening next, when we are pleased to say that our popular member, Mr. A. J. Wil- liams, M.P., will take the chair. The c tuse for which the people of Wales have so long fought is about to receive an impetus the like of which has never before been known, and those who are supporting the frail structure on the other side feel that they can do but little to stem the tide which flows so rapidily onward. It is not the Church itself which our Libera- tionist friends feel it their duty to attack, but the ginger-bread principles upon which its upholders lean. Once placed upon a firm and solid footing with other causes the Church of England we believe will take its proper place and prosper. At the meeting to held en Tuesday next the Rev. Mr. Matthews,, of Swansea, Mr. Allen Upward. Cardiff,alld. the following local gentlemen will deliver addresses: —Mr. Watkin Williams, Barry, Mr. D. J. Lloyd, Rev. M. Isaac, Rev. W. Tibbcit, Rev. J. W. Mathews. OUR PUBLIC LIBRARIES. We are pleased to say that our Public Libraries are doing well, and upwards of JE60 will be spent in a few days in purchasing new books. A meeting of the Committee was held on Wednesday night, and attention was called by Dr. O'Donnell to the fact that boys congre- gate in the Cadoxton Reading Room. It was decided, we are pleased to say, to prevent boys entering the room unless they are de.sirous of reading the literature provided.

TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIENDS, You cannot do better than buy this week's issue of Chums. It is a wonderful pennyworth, and in addition to its many novelties contains a remark- ably well written interview with that popular local football player Arthur Joseph Gould, of Newport, by the Rev. F. Marshall. Invest a penny and see for yourself.

THE OADOXTOIf CHORAL UNION. PERFORMANCE- OF THE PRODIGAL, SON." On Wednesday evening- tLe Cadoxton Choral Union gave a performance at the Cadoxton Theatre Royal of the dramatic cantata, The Prodigal Son" (by Mr. Tom .Price, Merthyr), which work they have been engaged onforborne- ti me. Our readers are all familiar with; the beautiful parable of the Prodigal Son" blltto those who had the pleasure on Wednesday nighfe;.of, listening to the performance fresh beauties presented themselves, and the grand story assumed; a different aspect other than the one to which many, have grown familiar. The Union has shown; praise-deserving ambition in tackling this ^cantata, which, as the composer. Mr. Price, afterwards remarked, was the most difficult Welsh work as. yet produced; and although the performance cannot be said to be perfect, as a whole it reiiected much credit upon the performers and conductor-alike.. Tbe caste was made upas follows :Prodigal Son, Mr. Sandford Jones, Merthyr .Father.Mr. G'wilym Jenkins, Merthyr Seer, Mr. John, Petty, Barry Dock Elder Son, Eos Wenallt,, Aherdare Servant, Mr. J. Lewis, Cadoxton; First Maiden; Miss R. A. Jenkins, Fern- dale; Second,Maiden. Miss Annie Lewis, Dowlais youths, maidens, ploisghmen, <fcc., Cadoxton Choral Union, The names £ those ladies and gentlemen mentioned,are well: known throughout the district and Wales, anft makes it needless for us to remark upon their,, efSorSs. There was one slight dis- advantage, however, when the choruses did not li catch: on cysite so promptly as they might, but as before Wednesday afternoon there was not an entire rehearsal of those taking part it was hardly- to, be wondered at. The rendering of the-first apt was undoubtedly the best efforts of the evening, whilst that of the 2nd act was the worse,. The third act went better, hpw,ev,er.. but the finale chorus. The Lord; is; our defender." was anything but perfect. In fact the keeping of time in the choruges was the weak point of the performance. Before, the commencement of the last act, the com- posoEj. Mr. Tom Price, came on the stage, and after reviving a warm welcome, said he was very pleased in the first place to see the hall so well occupied, especially in a place were everything seemed to be to let but lie was more pleased with the performance. He had not expected so much, because the work was exceedingly difficult —he did not think he was saying too much in saying that the work was the most difficult Welsh work of that sort published as yefe He had not heard the first act done better. (Hear, hear.) He trusted they would support the Choral Union and it youthful conductor. The fact of their keeping them interested two hours proved to him. that in the near future they would have composers in Wales who would not only command admiration there but throughout the whole world. lie was extremely thankful to Mr. Howe for the able manner in which he had trained the choir. (Hear, hear.)—Mr. W. T. Llewellyn, accompanist of the Society, presided at the piano, and Mr. W. Row- lands, Merthyr, also accompanied on the organ. Mr. W. Howe ably conducted. Amongst those present we noticed Mr. D. T. Alexander, Dr. and Mrs. Treharne, Rev. E. Morris, Miss Birstow, and the Misses Morris, Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd, Misses Small and Miss Wehland, Mrs. L. G.

LATE CORRESPONDENCE. — IS THERE AN EXPLANATION ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—I notice that a woman who recently attempted to commit suicide by jumping into the dock at Barry Dock has been discharged with a caution. If I remember rightly the police took this person in charge after she was taken from the dock, and a doctor who does not reside at Barry Dock sent for. Why was this done ? Would not the police have to pass the doors of four other medical gentlemen ? I should like an explana- tion.-I am, &c., INQUISITIVE. Barry Dock, March 23rd.

SUMMER- VERSUS WINTEBt THE question is often asked:—" Are diseases or jL Ailments more prevalent in Winter than in the Summer season. The testimony of Medical men, as well as our own. observation, clearly shows that there is a greater amount 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 soon feel the effects of frøst and snow, sleet and rain, cold winds and fierce storms. These have a depressing influence upon all persons, and various ailments, such. as indigestion, nervousness, palpitation, bronchitis, low spirits, and several other forms of disease, are apt to attack us at such times. To resist these attacks successfully, it is necessary that the body be protected with warm clothing, and nourished with more or better food. It is evident then, that they who are mosijiabie to. and suffer most from, winter ailments, are those who are least able to procure the means of withstanding them, or to obtain medical aid to combat them" viz., the working classes and the poor. It behoves these, ahercfore, to endeavor to fortify the constitution to edible them the better ts»cope with the dangers to which, they are exposed. This can best bejlone by the use of good Vegetable Toaic.
