AUNT MARIA'S DIARY OF THE…
AUNT MARIA'S DIARY OF THE DOINGS ROUND THE TOWNS. Those boys who follow the girls about in Court- road on Sunday nights should behave themselves, or I shall be on their track with a birch red. # Barry, I am pleased to say, had it all its own way at the enquiry on Tuesday. It was a. case of Heads I win, tales you lose," and Cardiff lost their hoped-for hold on Barry. it "Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly," but Captain Davies was a little too fly for those gentlemen who sat on the opposite side of table. It was enough to make a stone bleed to see the way in which he shattered all their nautical Ttnowleagc. Captain Davies was on the spot at the Local Government Board Inquiry last Tuesday. When he gave his evidence the case of the Cardiff ¡ Corporation vanished into thin air. ,¡: Cardiff was represented by three aldermen, Barry had only one, but he was match for them .all. .:¡: > The aldermen and officials of the Cardiff Corpora- tion lunched at the Barry Dock Hotel after the inquiry, and drank success to the new Barry Port Sanitary Authority. Are you a nautical man ?" asked Mr. Arthur Lewis, with a knowing wink, of one of the Cardiff -gentlemen on Tuesday. Well." he said, I think I once went to Bristol by water." ffi 3k How fond are some people of turning up past history, but Mr. Bircham would have none of it. Not only did he object to the back of his chair becoming too warm, but he was-determined that the opposing parties should not get too hot. There was only a narrow table between them, you know, Who is that gentleman who desires to spoil Barry Island by erecting an infectious diseases hospital upon it. Last week I went into a linen drapers's shop in Cadoxton, and whilst there I heard a very heavy young lady assert to a very small assistant that she was going away for the benefit of her health. ,¡: She was most particular in impressing upon her friend that it was not for pleasure that she left the district—it was her health. I wonder what on earth was the matter with her. I am now inclined to think that she was in for consumption-of victuals. The Star has fairly taken the cake this week for jobbing printing, What do you think of the bordered poster for the grand "concert at the Public Hall, Barry Dock, on Saturday night ? It is the first one printed in this district. a One of the poets has said that there is nothing like leather. Perhaps the parents of those urchins who are said to have turned out the gas at Holton last Sunday night will bear this in mind. # Is it true that someone has suggested that one of the congregation who was suddenly thrown into darkness recently was heard to gently whistle, Where was Moses when the light went out. # <: My old friend, Mr. B. Lewis, is evidently in favour of Woman's Suffrage, as he was nominated at the last election by a lady. t Mr. Lewis has a very novel way of advertising. He stamped all his bread Vote for Lewis." Perhaps he was determined that all who bought ■should i; read. mark, learn, and inwardly digest." <. I am informed that Messrs. Poole's Myriorama will not visit Cadoxton this time. Don't forget. the sight is only to be seen at Barry Market-hall next week. I notice that the very energetic-treasurer of the Llandaff Diocesan Church Extension Society (Major-General Lee) was present with the Rev. Canon Edwards at the annual meeting of that society fin Cardiff last week. The annual report was very satisfactory, and it was reported that a grant of £ 50 had been made to St. Paul's, Barry. I liave,hinted often that sweethearts think there is no place like Barry Island for courting pur- poses, but I had no idea that it was used as a wastepaper basket in which lovers throw their Aiscarded love letters. I should advise the-young lady to whom the following was address to be more careful in the future—I had her address handed in with the letter Dear -I received your kind letter, and was very much pleased with it you told me you were coming to Cardiff on Friday night alright my dear that will do you said something about your sister. I wonder if you mean to luster duee me. I am afraid so but never mind I will get used to that you said you would have a little more work to do but my dear you must be thankfull you are healthy and strong enough to do it, if you think about me so much you will never get it done., i will go to the station to meet you I do hope it will beftue then we can have a lovely walk. I dont know what else to say, my love but never mind my deare. I only wish the day was here when you and I shall be made one I am beginny to think a great deal about it now but you see it is money what is stopping us I sometimes nealy cry thinking about such great love between us so I have no more to say at present my love so I will say good night, my love one more. my love, my I lieart is f ull but I will soon be allright geod night dear xxxxxxxxxx Dynas Powis MIZPAH Cardiff. The young man in Hunter-street, Cadoxton, is I now anxious to know how I found out about I his having three sweethearts. But he did not meet his lady-love, as he said he 'I would after reading the Star. r He is not the gentleman who is to be married I" from that neighbourhood on Whit-Monday. ti Is it true that there is a chapel-going lady ¡ in Hunter-street who always stands under a lamp and reads a. prayer-book after leaving chapel ? Who was that little lady I saw going down Vere- street on Thursday night with a middy ? She did not know that I saw her. I have heard of a young man in Barry Dock who has a dog, and thinks there is none other like it. He is anxious to get up a dog show in order to show off its-I was ?oing to say points—but I think I had better say-mongrel qualities. # # The cap fitted well last week several of the ladies in Barry Dock. They say that they cannot understand how the Star got hold of the fact that they were always quarrelling among themselves. One of them told a friend of mine that she would never say another word over the garden wall, but the next day she was at it again, and called a y 1:1 neighbour everypolite name she could think of. ,¡, Last week a young man from one of the streets of Holton-road was presented with a fine bouncing boy by his wife, and he made such a fuss about it that every man working at the same place knew about it immediately. 'It I learn that the Rev. A. E. Couch will remain in Cadoxton for another week, and the Conversazione that was to have been held last Monday will now take place on the 17th inst. To-night (Friday) the members of the 11th Company 2nd Glamorgan Volunteer Artillery will give their annual dance at the Public-hall, Cadoxton. I am told that the catering is in the hands of the Misses Davies of the Shaftesbury Hotel. # & It was remarked in the Board-room at the counting of the votes for the Local Board election on Saturday last that there were no leils than four gentlemen present who had at one time served under her Majesty. General Lee was one of course, Mr. J. J. Williams, the candidate for the North Ward, was another, whilst there were also present Mr. Harrison, the Labour candidate, who holds the Egyptian Medal and Star, and Mr. Wallace Davies, who is in possession of a medal and bar for having served in the last Burmese war. It is said that Cardiff is becoming quite noted for its long-whiskered men. A Barry gentleman writes :-It is a surprising fact that nearly all the members of the Cardiff Corporation who attended the inquiry at Barry on Tuesday had fine flowing beards. Mr. John Cory has just presented £100 to the Cardiff Branch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. On Sunday afternoon last week one of my nephews was much edified to notice the gallantry and ability with which a young gentleman in Station-street tied the shoe strings of his lady love's shoes. Those nasty rude men who tittered as they passed ought to know better. The (respectable?) married man who entered a compartment on the Barry train where the only occupant was a young woman, and proffered her a coin, had better not repeat the act again. If he is not careful (I have some respect for his own daughter's sake) he will be made a public example. In fact, such beasts are dangerous to be at large. It was fortunate that the next station was soon reached, where the young woman changed com- partments. .0* I am assure by Mr. Frank Aylmer, who sang The pimple on her nose and What makes you turn your nose up," at the Market-hall, Barry, on Good Friday, that he did not refer to my nose. How could he, I have no pimple. I am seriously thinking of visiting Mr. Aylmer at the Victoria- hall of Varieties, Pontypridd, as I am told that he has a good entertainment there. General Lee possesses an inquiring mind. At I the Police-court yesterday, as the overseers brought up the list of nominations, he asked whether the nominations were the results of vestry meetings. "No," said one. Don't you think," said the General gently (referring to Porthkerry) it is time a vestry meeting was held there ?'' Is Penmark here said Superintendent Wake on Thursday. Yes," said the burly overseer, Penmark is here," as he handed up his list of nominations. IF Do you ever have a parish vestry at High- light?" inquired the General of the venerable village father. Oh, no, not very often," was the smiling reply. Sp I wasn't fighting at all," said a defendant at the Barry Dock Police-court on Thursday. Yes you were," said Police-constable Roberts. "No I wasn't," was the reply. You weren't there when I was fighting." There will be no alteratien in the Taff Vale Company's trains for the ensuing month. # ;I: I understand that there will be a grand tea. entertainment, and competitive meeting at the Bryn Seion Congregational Chapel, Court-road, Cadoxton, on the 28th inst. Secure your tickets early. fI I learn that Messrs. Poole have arranged to visit Barry Market Hall next week with their wonder- ful latest and greatest myriorama. It is said to be the finest that is travelling, and has never visited this district before. You can rest assured that Mr. Poole will provide you with a good entertainment at a reasonable price. Don't forget the performance of the Histrionic Society at the Theatre on Wednesday next. There is a splendid programme arranged for the grand concert at the Barry Dock Public Hall next Saturday. v ¥ I was very sorry to see that young- lady waiting so patiently in Vere-street last Sunday night for her source of joy, but unfortunately the young man did not appear. I am told, however, it was all through her mischivous tongue that she had to wait in vaia. She waited for several hours, and as I sa,w her going away she hung her head so low I am quite certain that she was crying. » I should like to know very much if it was true the young man she was waiting for had his photo taken with her. as he denies it to me. I am told that young lady is a very severe false tale-carrier, and that it is nothing new for her to say. Young ladies should beware what they tell people about. I am informed that there is a young man in Cadoxton who has two sweethearts, but I am told that he has forsaken the last he tooic on because she told him all the time that she could have So and So. He at last told her that she could go with them, and that he did not want her. She cryed so bitterly that I was sorry to see her, poor girl. Jtf ok A friend of mine saw a barmaid from a certain hotel cuddling a, certain young man in the door as he was passing on Wednesday night. He went in, but could not get served. He was informed that the landlady was out. i -k F II: i Miss Wehland has, to the regret of her many 1 friends, left Cadoxton for Madrid, where she will stay for a year with her sister. The friends of Mrs. E. S. Johnson will be glad to learn that she is now slowly recovering from her dangerous illness. One of the railway men is said to be sweet- hearting a young lady who sometimes come on to the platform to practice the tonic sol-fa scale. Another railway man (rather youthful) vows he will never speak to one he once did love." Just fancy, and she sent him a nice valentine with such lovely verses on. The Conversazione at the Parish-hall, Barry, held on the 1st of February amounted to -43 14s. Gd. 9 Who was the yojing man at the St. Mary's Church, on Sunday night who slyly, whilst the building was in darkness, stole a handkerchief from a married lady's pocket ? Mr. and Mrs. Meggitt and Mrs. Sibbering Jones ha ve-arri ved home from Biarritz much benefitted by their holiday. ■* The Barry Congregational Magazine says:- Please note that the pastor's address (changed for the fifth time since he came to Barry) is now 12, The Parade, where, before long, he hopes to fulfil the Scriptural qualifications for the office of bishop, in respect of hospitality, more efficiently than he has been able as yet. See I. Timothy, iii., 2 verse, Given to hospitality." Also another qualification mentioned eariier in the same verse he is preparing to fulfil. See Star-street Congre- gational Church, April 19th, 1.30 p.m. Mr. Stowell has my warmest congratulations ¡ upon the step he is about to take. May he and the I future Mrs. S. be spared to enjoy a long life of happy usefulness. The present the Quoit Club intend to mak Mr. John Robinson will take the form of a handsome ebony combination walking-stick with an ivory handle and a silver band. A :16-inch rule will be sheathed in the stick. The present will be a very serviceable one. '1" The Secretary of the Barry Company, Mr. Mein, will shortly take up his residence at East Barry House, vacated by Mr. John Robinson. The Soiree proposed to be held at the Cadoxton Mission Room on Monday last, and postponed, will take place next Monday evening. I hope there will be a good attendance. My nephews are trying to persuade me to go myself, but I won't positively decide. A class for the teaching of the Welsh language will be held every Tuesday evening at the Zion Welsh Church, Pontypridd street. Cadoxton. Those wishing to join are requested to communi- cate with the Rev. W. Williams, Oban-street. Mr. Lord, the father-in-law of Mr. Sandford Jones, paid a flying visit to his friend, Mr. B. Summers, this week. The old gentleman seemed highly pleased to hear of the good impression Mr. Sandford Jones left behind at Cadoxton. f I.V. A DINAS POWIS. Oh, dear! oh, dear "Hulloa, hulloa." said one person to another at Dinas Powis, What is the matter ?" Oh have you no sympathy for a bachelor's life ?" he replied. But why, what on earth ails you, man ?" he asked. "Well," said he, a young lady accosted me on Sunday, and asked me how it was that I did not put on a clean collar and cuffs." She was not aware, until I told her, that I was a bachelor lodger, and I had to take what I could get. ,¡: Oh," do not despair," she said there is a certain young lady coming home to live here that has been away learning the trade of taking in wash- ing." She then advised me to form a deputation of bachelors to wait upon her. Let me Due I believe she was Ifoek-ing me." Get out," replied the other, she could not afford to Mock you. I do not think it possible that she would receive the deputation asking her to open a laundry." "Why not?" "Well, to be clever, "YQu must go through the form of learning a trade. The rising generation has got the advantages in the way of technical education, and that is Crarn-ed into them. A1 1 The nuisance on the hill has been removed. So far so good. & Yet another one Where ? Why at a farm. When will all this nuisance cease ? I see that our athletes are in full training for ¡ the high jump at the Whitsun Sports ? Yes, it is quite" Wright." Dinas Powis is rapidly developing. There is now in course of erection about a dozen villas. Good luck, say I, to the enterprising speculators. There are some very forward visiting ladies in the village who make their calls at a very early hour in the day. One of these made a visit at 8.30 a.m. to a certain house in Station-road, much to the discomfiture of the inmates. Tell me, Aunt Maria." asks my Nephew, what is the proper time for ladies to pay their visits ?" V A I hear a popular young man of Dinas Powis had high jinks at the treat given by General Lee,to the allotment holders, i believe he only sang once. What a price for such an artiste ? A general rehearsal was held at Zoar C.M Chapel, Wenvoe, on Wednesday evening last by the various choirs who intend taking part in the forth- coming cymanfa at Cadoxton. The several choirs i are well versed in the programme. Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah Thr.ee cheers for Dinas Powis. You deserve to get on. You do try. & As I glance back over their past history I cannot help shouting, because there has' been a little of everything that is good. Companies of different descriptions has been started and collapsed. The Building Club, with its bright prospects, this fell through before the Liberator crash. Then Football Clubs, which still are full of life and vigour, and the Boxing Club-which is dead. But the latest development is a Gymnastic Club, and the first per- formance took place last week in Penarth. The performers were men of various ages, and all of them have-passed through the matrimonial state, and are again, I hear, in the market. The per- formance went off well, but with rather more than the usual number of accidents. Two out of the three performers were slightly injured, one with a broken nose the other with a fractured shoulder. This is nothing among amatnres, and they are not a bit daunted. The date of the next performance is yet not fixed, but due notice will be give. Bravo, boys go on. r A friend tells me that Mrs. G- niece is getting very dotty. Well, my boy, what can you expect when she will persist in putting the boot on the wrong foot. You have heard, no doubt, that a gander may be a goose, but a goose cannot be a gander. Is it possible that that young musician is about to migrate. I am told that he is about to travel to a more congenial olime. May his serenading efforts there be more successful in bringing young ladies under the charm of his harmonious wail. His favourite tune now is, "Should auld acquaintaince to forget." He I hear that one of the two brothers who were giving odds on the Swinton team is about to join the Metropolitan police. I wish all success. I have received the following :— Dear Aunt Maria,—Please call at Dinas Powis, and give a word of motherly advice to the two women who are to be seen lounging about day after day looking after other people's business and neglecting their own homes. If they don't stop it, I shall have to put them in your Gossip's Corner."

Old Boy-Yes, but they are a week behind time. My beard I had off several days ago. My friend told me it was not becoming. ON THE COMMON. (Before the Election.) Mr. Crock-I bet you anything you like that I get 6 to 1 of the votes around the old show and Friarstown. The Sage-I doubt it, my friend. With all due respect to your farsightedness.

CALVINISTIO METHODISTS, DINAS POWIS. The first meeting of the Band of Hope in con- nection with the above was held on Monday even- ing at seven o'clock, when a goad number of the young and middle age came together, numbering in all about 50. Mr. J. James was voted to the chair, and prayer was offered. A short and musical pro- gramme was then gone through, Miss L. Miles presiding at the harmonium. Recitations H. ftoiaret, M. J. Miles, Minnie Williams, and Agnes Williams solos, M. L. Miles, J. Howells, and M. Blackmore. The Chairman them called upon Mr. Williams, station master, for instruction as to the working of the Band of Hope, to which invitation he readily responded. Mr. Williams said from what he saw there was every prospects of a good band being formed, but the secret of all this is due to Mr. H. Wright's labours, who had worked so earnestly for the temperance cause, and the seed sown then in the young hearts was to-day bearing fj-uit. After a short practice the meeting, which was of a formal character, was brought to a close with a vote of thanks to the chairman and friends who assisted.

DINAS POWIS VESTRY. A vestry meeting was held at the Dinas Powis Schoolroom on Thursday evening last, the Rev. Canon Edwards was elected chairman, but the attendance of the ratepayers was meagre. Mr. T. Cram was nominated as overseer for the ensuin"- year in conjunction with Mr. F. Johns. The pro- posed business of the evening was not brought forward owing to the absence of the guardian. The ratepayers present enjoyed a most interested evening discussing various points appertaining to parish business.

LOCAL VETO MEETING AT BARRY…
LOCAL VETO MEETING AT BARRY DOCK. On Wednesday evening a well-attended meeting in support of the proposed Local Veto Bill was held at the Barry Dock Wesleyan Chapel. The Rev. Graham Payn presided over a representa- tive attendance. After the singing of a hymn amd prayer, the Chairman, in a few brief introductory remarks, explained the objects ,of the meeting, and called upon Mr. Ebenezer Beavan, J.P., of Cardiff, to move the first resolution. Mr. Beavan, before proceeding to move his reso- lution, alluded in sympathetic terms to the Pont- ypridd colliery disaster. That was the first time he had spoken at a public meeting since they had heard of the terrible disaster at Pontypridd, and if they would allow him, he would first of all express his deep sympathy and sorrow for those involved in that terrible disaster. He was afraid they would find the disaster almost unparallelled even in the history of the Rhondda Valley. They must hope for the best, although it was like hoping against hope, and might the Great Father in Heaven be very gracious to the widows and orphans. Mr. Beavan proceeded to move his resolution, which was as follows That this public meeting heartily rejoices at the introduction by Her Majesty's Government into the House of Commons of a measure em- bodying in a considerable degree the principle of the direct veto on the issue and renewal of licences, and sincerely hopes that before such becomes law the Government will sea its way to include within the scope and operation of the Bill hotels, eating-houses, refreshment-rooms, and drinking clubs. Also that.the subject of Sunday closing will be dealt with separately by an Imperial Act giving the United Kingdom an entire Sunday closing measure and this meet- ing pledges itself to support to the utmost of its power the Government Bill in the hope that it may speedily be placed upon the Statute Book of the Realm." The resolution in his, and the judgment of all present, was a fair one. He did not think there was a single clause or sentence to which anyone there would take the slightest exception. Mr. Beavan then gave the opinion of Lord Randolph Churchill on the drink traffic. He declared in one of his most telling and moving speeches that it was a devilish and destructive traffic. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone declared solemnly, de- liberately, and conscientiously that he considered that the drink traffic of the country produced more misery and ruin than war, pestilence, and famine put together. The recent event in Trafalgar Square should be an occasion of great rejoicing to them. The people were brought there like Balaam to curse this temperance movement they were brought to weaken it, and in order to check- mate it in the House of Commons, but instead of that they had blessed it. (Hear, hear and ap- plause.) Mr. Beavan next dealt with Mr. Chamberlain's speech at the Bingley-hall, Birming- ham, and confuted the objections he then put forth. In conclusion of a telling speech (which, through pressure upon our space, we are unable to reproduce). Mr. Beavan urged upon all to do what they could to get this measure passed so as to pave the way for further legislation on the matter. (Hear, hear.) Rev. Tertius Phillips seconded in a speech of some length. Mrs. Inglis, as president of the Barry Branch of the British Women's Temperance Association, supported the resolution, which on being put was carried unanimously. The Rev. Jabez Honey next proposed "That copies of the foregoing resolution be signed by the Chairman, and be sent to the Premier, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Sir Wm. Harcourt, the leader of the Opposition, the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, and the member for the division, Mr. A. J. Williams." Mr. Flowers seconded, and the motion was un- animously carried.. The thanks of the meeting were accorded the speakers, and the proceedings concluded with the benediction.
THE SHIPPING CRISIS.
THE SHIPPING CRISIS. HOW IT AFFECTS BARRY. The deplorable crisis in the shipping world' which has been raging for the past few days, has already made itself felt at Barry. On Saturday the Llanberis of Cardiff, belonging to Messrs. Thomas Radcliff and Co., was docked at the Graving Dock's Co's Dock so that repairs might be done to the bottom. The work would have caused employment for a large number of hands, and brought in a large amount of money, but as the vessel belonged to a boycotted firm, the Dry Dock workmen were prohibited from doing the work by the Union, and she was sent out on Monday after being repainted. The repairs will probably be carried out at a foreign port. The steamship Dolcoath put in dock for repairs to her boilers. As she also belonged to a boycotted firm the re- pairs were not done. A most determined stand is being made at the Barry Dock Shipping Office by Mr. J. Harrison, the local secretary, and scores of seamen and firemen. On Tuesday 'three vessels were blocked, and on Wednesday the crew of one of them,the Sydmonton, was taken out whilst the officers were at dinner. Two steamers, the Azalea and Robert Harrowing, both laden, were blocked at Barry Dock on Wed- nesday, owing to the refusal of the owners to pay the Union rate of wages, but the men feel confi- dent the owners will give in. Pickets watched the Cogent (Mesrs. Westoll and Co., Sunderland) and another steamer in the basin during the after- noon, but they were afterwards able to proceed to sea unmolested, having mustered crews by some means. The steamship Maltby, blocked at New- port on Tuesday, it was stated. shipped a crew at the full rates. One of the three ships blocked at Barry on Tuesday went to Cardiff in the evening, but failing to- get a crew there, was on her way back to Barry on Wednesday afternoon.
NEW TIPS AT BARRY.
NEW TIPS AT BARRY. During the past few days the large movable hydraulic crane on the middle jetty on the eastern side of Barry Dock has been successfully removed withont being taken to pieces, and placed on the eastern side of the basin, where it will be used as an additional tip for pitwood and other work. New cranes of an improved character will be placed on the first and second jettie but the third will be left so as to allow of its removal when necessary for the formation of the entrance to the new dock.

NEW RAILWAY CONVE- NIENCES AT BARRY. The huge hydraulic roller bridge, which has been years in construction, to run across the inner passage at Barry Dock for the convenience of mineral traffic running from the eastern to the western side of the dock has been completed, and is now being used during the execution of repairs to the passage gates. The bridge, which is a fine piece of mechanism, cannot be used for traffic purposes yet, as the line on the western side is blocked by the deep sea entrance works.
