IS IT STRAINING THE LAW? If the law is to be administered in the future as it has been of late at Aberystwyth, life ivillsooD cease to be worth livino- in the town. A couple of years ag) the local auth- orities began to proceed against dozens of townspeople for an alleged obstruction of the footpaths, in some of the cases the alleged offence being merely the placing of signs against the wall, and that out of the reach of passer&-by. The proceeding was so ridicu- lous, and public opinion was so strong against the authorities, that it was allowed to col- lapse.. But the feeling which prompted the proceeding is still alive. Now it is the butchers that are being harrassed, and only a couple of them, whilst the others are allowed to go scot free. In the first instance pro- ceedings were taken against Mr TOM ROWLANDS, Bridge street, for hanging meat outside his shop. The footpath is certainly narrow in that particular part of the street,but even in that case the question remains whether a householder is not entitled to a reasonable use of the street in front of his premises. We believe we are right in saying that meat is hung outside shops in all parts of the king- dom, and why the police at Aberystwyth should take arbitrary proceedings is not clear. In the second case the victim pounced upon by the police was Mr HUGH EDWARDS, Great Darkgate street. If the footpath in Bridge street is narrow, that cannot by any stretch of the imagination be said of the foot- path in front of Mr EDWARDS' shop, it being there one of the widest in the town. According L to the reports, the complainant was the CHIEF CONSTABLE, but seemingly, as far as the evi- dence showed, he was not there at all; any- how he never gave evidence. The evidence was given by P.S. DAVIES, nnd he admitted, in reply to Mr RVAN EVANS, that no one was obstructed by the alleged obstruction. Could j anything be more ludicrous than the position in which the SERGEANT found himself in sum- moning a person for an obstruction that did not obstruct? The action is worthy of a pantomime. Probably Sergeant DAVIES was acting under instructions, for it is diffic ult to conceive that an experienced CODstable would pounce upon one tradesman for doing what almost every shopkeeper in the street was doing at that very moment. If people are to be summoned for merely technical offences, the police and the Magistrates-or as many of them as arc not themselves offenders -will have a busy time of it, unless the rate- payers arise in their anger and put a stop to the ridiculous proceedings. But who were the actual complainants in the cases under notice? It is but right that an accused person should know his accuser, and be able to meet him face to face. Th.it is one of the elementary principles of j ustice. It is mean and unmanly for any person to prompt the police to take legal proceedings, and then shrink from entering the witness box. And the police should refuse to take action in matters of this kind, where the actual complainers do not dare to face the person against whom they complain. Somebody has said-we know not upon what authority—that the Police were prompted by one of the Com- mittees of the Town Council. The Police ought by this time to know that Committees are not authorised to take action in matters of this kind. The power lies only with the Council as a body, and Committees have no more authority than the man in the street. But perhaps the Committee had nothing to do with the matter. And then the question again arisefi- wLo is the person who has been obstructed ? Or is the person wbo complains merely a faddist, a self-elected protector and defenler of what he believes to be public rights ? There are plenty of such people about, and they are never happy except when they are making other people miser- able. They are people who have a high profession and a low prac- tice of public rights. So long as they have their own way they care nothing for the rights and privileges of others. These people are a perfect nuisance. They arc in- cessantly dinning their hobbies into the ears of the Police, Town Councillors, members o Boards of Guardians, and the members of other public bodies and their officials. And woe to the public man who refuses to listen patiently to their idiosyncracies. He at once becomes in their estimation an enemy to la.v and order, and an accomplice with the evil doers, and they do not forget to tell him so. Everyone knows such people, but the Police should be the last people in the world to allow themselves to become their catspaws. It is the duty of the Police to protect, the public, as much from these jSelf-constituted censors as from midnight marauders.

DYSON'S DIORAMA.The following well-deserved eulogy of the performances of Mr Dyson's Gipsy Choir at the Curzon Hall is extracted from the "Birm- ingham Daily Argus": "Curzon Hall takes a good deal of filling, but Mr Dyson'a diorama and gipsy choir is so popular that there is a difficulty in finding room for those who wish to enjoy the varied entertainment £ provided. It is stated that on Saturday at least a thousand were turned from the doors, and last night the ha)))-.vas closely packed. The beauties of Manxland were depicted in the pictorial part of the programme, J and the versatile company of young ladies gave a j I really Dign-class concert, varied by a comical sketch, and the marvellous violin playing of Paganini Redivivus. The great feat of Paganini was to cut three of the strings of his instrument, and then play on the remaining string the well-known overture to William Tell." Thizi was executed with sneh an amount of cleverness and dexterity that the audience demanded an encore again and again, and for this alone the entertainment is worth visiting. During this, the last week of the visit, an entirely new programme is presented each night." JEWELLERY.—For first-class Jewellery, Ac., call at the Shop of Edward Vaughan Rees, Working Lapidary, and Gold and Silver Smith, 2, King street, near the College .Repairs done on the shortest notice.—Advt. A WELSH VOCALIST IN AMERICA.—Inlet in a report in the "Cincinnati Commercial Gazette" of the orchestral and vocal entertainments which are provided at the Zoo, Cincinnati, is a portrait of Mr Ma'dwyn Evaue, a native of Aberystwyth, a tenor who has s'tained great popularity as a vocalist in an event entitled "The Lagoon's Pageant." The Gaz ette' says He playi the part of the princp. He ia in splendid voice, and is proring to be one of the most acceptable vocalists the Lagoon has had this season." PLEASURE STEAMK.RS.—We learn on good author* ity that it is the intention of a Mocumbe Bay steam ship company to send one of their pleasure steamers to Aberystwyth for next summer, provided the fown Council will meet them as regards hat-boar dues. Ao effort will be made to make it a paying concern by freely advertising the sea trips and keeping regular times. In the past the steamers taking trippers abo.id at Aberystwyth have come into the bay in quit J a casual and nnexpected sort of way, so did not merit that success which they never at- tained. FIRE. On Sunday morning, about 9 o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of Mr E hvards, Mill street. It seemed that a ridge board, the end of which ran into the flue of .the chimney, somehow got alight, and the whole place was quick y in flames. Mr Dougall, the manager of tin G is Works. fearing that the out- break migut assume serious proportions immediately set the steam whistla goii;g, and eight men of the brigade, together with the manual engine, were soon on the spot, under the command of Capt Peake. In the meantime, however, a number of neighbours successfully extinguished the conflagration before it got proper bold of the baildiog. < THE TEACHERS' GUILD.-The inaugural mooting ¡f the Guild for the coming session was held on Saturday evening. at the Examination Hall of the Collate. Tea and coffee were provided for the members and their friends and the large company that wore present. This was done through the kind- ness of Miss Carpente-, of the La lies' Hostel, who has from the very first taken an active and energetic int-TOft in the work of the Guild. MrGarrod M.A., (formerly of Merton College, Oxford, and Barrister- at-la-.v), General Secretary of tho Teachers' Guild, was present at the meeting, and delivered a clear and valuable address npon some of the question* that will -oon affect secondary schools in England, if not al-o the Intermediate schools in Wales. He shadowed forth whtt are likely to be some of the recommenda- t ons of tho Secondary Educntion Commission, which has lately be-n taking evidence on secondary' educa- tion in England, and is expected at, no distant date to issue a rep irt. These will deal with the representa- tiou of teachers on a central board, the registration of teachers, an 1 the position of assistant teachers ^nd the powers of the headmaster in the diamissinir of these teachers. A large number of new members were enrolled. ACCIDENT TO THE F.CI.IPSE.An accident of a serious nature occurred at Llandrindod Wells to Capt Wemyss's coach "Thu EolipsV The genial captain had driven over with some friends from Vberystwyth, and after a shirt stay they were pre- paring t.) return.

FUOTBALL. ABERYSTWYTH v BRYMBO INSTITUTE. On Saturday the Aberystwyth team bad Brymbo Tnsitllte as their opponents for the first time. The viairors have been going strong lately, so it was anticipated that there would be an unusually good game. The ropes on the Vicar.ige field were well- lnied with people when the-proceedings commenced the homesters hiviug charge o the railway end of the ground. The opening kinks on both ..idee were very tame, battledore aud shnttlecock being the order of thiugp. The first to show any genuine play was Garner, who got within shooting range, and then loosed the ball to the visiting right naok. W. Davies for Brymbo, was given a chance, and his shot struck the crossbar. In the play following this there was a lack of combination, and the ball falling into the possession of Arthur Owen, he straightway put a twister" very close against the goal. Pretty soon there was a contribution by Morris, who was display, ing his Siturday-best form, and who gave Gough an eye-opener of a shot to t-vckle. The visitors having been in evidence for a little while, although the spectators were expecting more from them, Morris aided Michael with a p.S8," the latter sending a fapt "shot," which Q-d over the crossbar. Immediately afterwards Morris did IL deddedly emlut thing.aloneandunsupport,! passing about seven men Whnn shont to deliver the final shot" hu was tripped, but his stumbling kick for between the nrossbar was a terrific one, the ball nearly felling Gough. Loveday rendered some good assistance to D Morgan, who failed in trying to take the initiative In scoring. Tom Rees followed suit, the ball, from a Kit-k by him, rebounding from the goal posts and then at' ention for a minute or two became rivetted on Garner and Michael, who had nutters all their own way- But Michael's shooting wss very fteble. Arthur Owen having treated Gough to a handful, the homeat-rs had to beat a quick retreat over the ceutro line. There was soon a scramble n' ar the poat", but Jack Jones made ligho of the difficulty. Murr.s chauged the scene, doing his level best to scors, bu failing, his shot for goal being rathrr hasty. Michael now had several chances, but he utilized them very unsuccessfully. The next to try a goal was the visitors' inside left, but his attack was Homewhat "off." Loveday endeavoured to expel the visiting forwards from forbidden ground, but would Lave failed if W. Davies had not backed him up. There was a quick retaliation by Brymbo, but Morris, hurrying up diverted the onslaught on the home goal. Almost instanter the Aberystwyth goal got into a fix, bat the trouble was cooly overcome. When half time arrived neither side had scored. On the resump- tion of the game. the home forwards pressed, D. Morgan feeding them well. From Garner and Morris the ball slipped on to Michael, his shot for goal striking one of the backs. The home goal was next surouiided, but Jack Jones preserved a virgin goal. ir- 'J lied npon to save, unfortunately kicked the ball between the home posts, Jack Jones only just clearing with it. Then came the turn of the Institute, their it side left winger fiuding himself with the goal at his mercy, but he made fa laughably bad mesa of his chanoe. Matters from this point wore a livalier aspect, and Brvmbo Dressed MVUMIV anA would have done damage but for W. R. Jones. They had, however, several more openings, but shot at random, After a chort interval Tom Rees broke away, and succeeded in getting the ball between the posts, mnoh disappointment being evinced when the goal was declared off side. The visitors having been allowed two eorners which were unmanageable, W. R. Jones headed the ball between the uprights, thus securing for Brymbo their first goal. Play blJgan to lag, and before the end Brymbo addedlanother. goal to their score. The final result was Brymbo 2 Aberystwyth 0 The following were the teams — ABERYSTWYTH.
