NARBERTH. LOCAL FAILURE.-It is announced in the Gazette that a receiving order has been jLmade in the estate of Brown Bros., of Water Street, Pembroke Dock and Narberth, builders and contractors. CRICKET ACCIDENT.—Mr. Sam Taylor, whilst batting for Narberth against Tenby, in the cricket match played on Wednesday afternoon last, had the misfortune to have one of his fingers broken by the ball. Dr. Morgan, who was on the field, at once ren- dered surgical aid. OBITUARY.—With deep regret we record the death of Nathianel Duckfield, of Spring Cottage, Narberth, who passed away on Sunday last at the age of 52 years. A native of Narberth, the deceased in his younger days served his apprenticeship as a cabinet maker to the late Mr. Thomas Wheeler, but soon after his apprenticeship was ended he joined the staff of the Post Office, and was for many years rural post- man from Narberth to Red Roses. About five or six years ago he accepted the post of town postman, which he held until the commencement of his illness, about 221 years ago, when he retired on a well-deserved pension. The deceased, during his long ill- ness, bore his sufferings with remarkable fortitude and patience. He was passion- ately fond of music, and when in health was connected with all the principal musical undertakings of the town. He was a mem- ber of the old Narberth Brass Band, of which his brother, Mr. Fred Duckfield, was bandmaster, and a sergeant in the Volun- teers. Much sympathy is felt in the town for his widow and four surviving children in their bereavement. The interment took place on Wednesday last at the Narberth Cemetery, and was largely. attended, the ,principal mourners being Mrs. Duckfield (the widow), Mr. Fred Duckfield (son), the Misses Violet and Laura Duckfield (daugh- ters), Mr. William Duckfield (brother), Mrs. J. W. Thomas (sister), Messrs. T. H. Lewis, and A. Wilkins (cousins), and others. CRICKET MATCH.—The return match be- tween Narberth and Tenby was played on Wednesday last on the ground of the for- mer. The home team were again fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Wilfred Lewis, of Henllan, who made the top score of the match, and played brilliant cricket, and he contributed largely to the success of the home team, who won by the sub- stantial mtrgi.1 of 29 runs.

Are the Premises Licensed? At the outset Mr. James, the landlord of the Cross Inn, was called into the room and questioned by the magistrates as to whether he considered the court, room be- longed to the licensed premises. Axij James said he did not; it was considered quite separate, and he never sold drink in it. Dr. Owen: I don't see why the county should be put to the expense of building a new hall when that room could be utilised. Drunkenness. George Francis, of New House, was fined 5s. and obsts for having been drunk in charge of a horse and trap on July 12t11.- P.C. Llewellin said that he met the defen- dant on the Haverfordwest and Fishguard road. He was so drunk that he had to see him home. A fine of 10s. and costs, or 14 days im- prisonment in default, was inflicted for a -in similar offence on John Gannon, described as of Green Plain, but now said by bupt. James to be camping out in an old quarry at the Merlin's Bridge. P.C. John James said that defendant wanted to fight wiui a tramping navvy. For a similar offence on June iutn, Thomas Cole, of Spittal Cross, was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. —P.C. John James proved the case, and mentioned that defendant was a labourer on the new railway John Evans, Sarnau, on a similar charge, was fined Is. and costs, and David Jones, of Gorscare, was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. William Thomas, Templeton, was fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly at Clviiderwen. A Drunken Blind Pauper. Evan Lev^is, Rhywgoe, was summoned for drunkenness on the Llandissilio Road on July 16th —It was mentioned that defendant was totally blind, and that he was in re- ceipt of 4s. a week poor law relief. He was last convicted in 1904. The Chairman: He gets drunk on 4s. a week.-The police con- stable mentioned that defendant was a native of the district, and people treated him to beer.—Fined 2s. 6d. and costs. Mischievous Navvies. John Devereux, of Wire Castle, who was summoned for allowing cattle to stray on the highway, said that he occupied land on either side of the Fishguard road; on the Fishguard side there was no fence, and the fields were open to the highway. He had done his best to keep the fences in oraer, but the navvies pulled them down as last as he could put them up.—Supt. James, while not disputing anything the defendant had said, pointed out that on this occasion the cattle were found a mile away. The police had always been very considerate to the defendant because of his allegations. Fined 6d. and costs. FLORILINE.—FOR THE TEETH AND BREATH. -It thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites and impurities, hardens the gums. prevents tartars, spot decay and gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly whiteness and delightful fragrance to the breath.

DOCKYARD NOTES. SALVING THE MONTAGU. Considerably activity prevailed again at the Dockyard last week preparing appliances to be used in the salvage, operations on the Montagu, men being employed all Tuesday and Thursday nights, as well as on overtime during the dinner intervals, and in the evenings on other days. The gear manufactured included heavy beams, strengthened by steel plates and brackets, and huge wooden cants for service as "fenders." Some of these were despatched early in the week and others towards its close. In addition there was forwarded to the ship a load of straw, large quantities of saw dust, cement, and oakum, and two boilers and a pumping equipment, the latter belonging to a Cardiff Salvage Company. On Thursday, twenty-four shipwrights were despatched to relieve others who had returned to Pembroke Dock, in consequence of sickness, or from some other cause, The lateness of the despatch of some of the gear, which it must be presumed, would be necessary to the ships, be- fore any attempt could be made to float her, was regarded as tolerably conclusive evidence that the attempt proposed to be made on Saturday or Sunday, would have to be postponed, as it would impossible to get ready in time. The delay has been attributed principally to the difficulty, which has been experienced in fixing the camels to the side of the ship, the plan first decided upon having proved a practical failure, thus necessitat- ing the adoption of a different arrangement, and the provision of new appliances in order to carry it out, which are those despatched as above stated. The necessity for such a change, at so late a period of the operations, has naturally suggested doubts as to whether they are likely to result successfully and caused the plan ot salvage to be somewhat severely criticised by many possessed of the requisite technical knowledge. That plan, iu brief, as described on what appears to be satisfactory authority, seems to be the closing down of the lower compartments of the ship so as to retain air pumped from above thus imparting a certain amount of buoyancy to the hull, and the use of camels on the outside as auxiliaries This, on the face of it would be a perfectly satis, factory procedure, providing a suffieeint numbe of the closed compartments can be made air tigh t and the camels can be secured to the ship, and are of adeqnate displacement to compensate for the loss of buoyancy, due to the presence of water which it ma} be found impossible to expel from the damaged compartments of the hull. If all the compartments could be made perfectly air tight, no camels would be necessary, and the salvage of the ship would be certain. It appears however, that the decks leak, and will not, as a consequence, retain air at atmospheric, not to speak of a higher pressure which is absolutely necessary, if the water on the inside is to be kept at a lower level than the snrface on the outside. The camels therefore, are indispensable to the success of the plan. That being so, the question to be considered by those in charge of the opera- tions, was as how they could best be secured to to the ship. According to report, it was at first proposed to do so by means of beams, secured transversely to the the upper deck and projecting bevond the sides, to which a rectangular plate girder was to have been attached on the outside, forming a stop both vertically and horizontally, to keep them in position. That arrangement was to have been adopted for about 200 feet of the ships length in the central part, on both sides, in the way of the chest side armour, which it is not intended to remove but it has not proved a success and accordingly appliances adopted to a different method which are those last prepared, became necessary. In the fore part of the ship the "camels" were intended to be and eleven or twelve of them have actually been secured, to the ship's sides where armour plates have been re- moved, by through screw bolts. This method was rendered exceedingly difficult, owing to the bolts shearing, as the result of upward pressure, it having been found impossible to pass » hawser or chain under the keel, on account of the rocks, so as to connect the camels on opposite sides, r and thus keep them close in to the ship, and re- duce the strain on the bolts. All that should, have been foreseen, and the practicability of the plan ascertained beyond doubt before it was finally adopted. CAMELS ON THE OUTSIDE UNNECESSARY It has been a mistake to imagine that camels" on the outside were absolutely necessary. A momentary examination of the structure of the ship, which is common to all battleships will suffice to demonstrate that they are not necessary unless the ships is so extremely damaged as to render her useless after being salved. It has been said that the salvage oporations on the Montagu are much more difficult, by reason of the great weight of the armour and guns on the ship than similar operations would be on an ordinary mercantile vessel. Such an opinion is, however, fallacious. The immense number of compart- ments, each separately water-tight into which the Montagu, and for the matter of that every other large warship is divided, makes successful salvage operations much easier on her, than they would be on a merchant vessel, because a few holes in the bottom of the latter will admit water into practically the entire hull of the ship. Moreover. on the Montagu, and all other large warships, these are invariably constructed under the lower deck, two large passages, one on each side, which extend throughout the entire length of the engine aud boiler rooms. They are necessary for enab- ling ammunition to be conveyed from the main magazines to the fighting positions, and are always constructed watertight, being enclosed by water tight doors at the ends and separated into compartments corresponding with the main divisional bulkheads of the ship, in which water- tight doors are also fitted in every case in the passages. These doors enable the passages to be sub-divided, which is a considerable advantage during salvage operations. Between the passages and the fighting positions, which are situated on the main and upper decks, communication is ob- tained through armour tubes, the lower ends of which are always arranged to be closed by water- tight sliding shutters. This, it is possible, with very little trouble, to completely close and form into a huge water-tight box or a succession of boxes, the number of which will depend upon the number of transverse divisions in that part of the ship, each of the ammunition passage*. Had that been done in the case of the Montagu, two water- tight tanks, each about 200ft. long, 9ft. high, and, as it is customary on recent ships to widen the passages, so as to form magazines and shell rooms to contain ammunition for ready use, possibly six to eight feet wide, on an average. Taking it at six feet wide, each passage will have a capacity of 10,800 cubic feet, which is equivalent to a dis- placement of 310 tons. The two passages would, therefore, exercise a lifting power of about 620 tons, if closed down as suggested. At the ends of the passages are lobbies, and generally shellrooms which are always conveniently constructed for be- ing closed as water-tight compartments. They probably each measure not less than 60ft. by 15ft. by 9ft., which, when closed, represents a buoyancy of say 450 tons. Then, as it is unlikely that the outer bottom plates are much injured above the second longitudinal which forms a water tight continuous division midway from the middle line of the ship, on each side, the compartments be- tween bottoms above the longitudinal cculd be closed down and cleared of water, thus adding probably a minimum of 450 tons to the buoyancy of the ship. The lower coal bunkers, which are above those portions of the ship last referred to, are also, in all probability, intact, and the water could, therefore, be pumped out of them, and the coal removed, thus adding another 400 tons to the buoyancy of the hull. Similarly, the coal bunkers above the lower deck, which extend over the por- tion of the ship occupied by the boiler and engine rooms, could be cleared. THE BEST SYSTEM OF USING TANKS. The compartments below which the bottom is pierced in that part are all comparatively low in height, and therefore, the loss of buoyancy would not be considerable, were it impossible to repair the bottom or make other provision to reduce that loss, to a large extent, which is not the case. That result could be attained by sinking small water tight tanks in all such compartments, and secur- ing them in such a way that they could be pumped out, after the water tight covers to the lower deok openings have been closed. A similar procedure could be followed in the boiler and engine rooms, in which there is a considerable amount of clear space that ceuld be filled with tanks, secured in place by divers and pijnpefl out after the engine and boiler hatches are dose I. The boilers also being steam tight, at very nigh pressure could be utilized to increase the lifting power. In order to make the decks water tight, the seams in the plating over the leakage parts could been covered by wood, bedded in red lead or tallow and bolted down secured. Thus probably two- thirds, but certainly one-half of the ship below the normal load water line could have made water tight, which implias a minimum effective lifting displacement of 700 tons and leaves less than 7000 tons to be compensator for which could have been acaomplished by the immersion of the hull, say to the main deck, but if not it would not matter if it were necessary for her to be immersed five feet deeper than that deck, which would still leave her at least three feet of free board below the upper deck. The height from the land line to the main deck is probably quite 7 feet, which assuming the displacement to be sixty tons per^inch—anc\ it undoubtedly exceeds that-would give an additional displacement of upwards of 5,000 tons, with correspondingly increased buoyancy, Again assuming her to be immersed a furtbur five feet, she would gain an additional 3,600 tons of buoyancy; which if the original displacement at load draught was 14,000 tons, would ensure her floating with perfect safety In order to have reduced the risk of the ship breaking to a minimum the services of as many shipwrights, and other necessary classes of machinists, as coulrl be advantageously employed, should have been enlisted at the outset, and tne numbers increased as found practicable. At the present time to quote the words of a man em- ployed on the ship, tne weather decks are littered with engines and boilers." In order to have carried out the plan outlined above to the best ad- vantage, the amount of weight added to the hull should have been kept as low as possible, but, pumps adequate to discuarging from the cowpart- ments required to be kept free of water would necessarily have had to have been retained on board. # LIFE AT LUNDY ISLAND. The accounts giveu by the men who have re- turned from Lundy Island as to the life of yard workmen there are interesting. They sleep on board the battleship Mars, which is moored about two miles away from the Montagu and have to make the passage to and fro in the ships boats in the tow of a steam pinnace. This is regarded as the most unpleasent part of their experiences, as the boats are always crowded with men, and very often the sea is so boisterous that they do not con- sider themselves safe. Once or twice, a large boat with about sixty men on board broke adrift from the pinnace, and went perilously near the rocks in a heavy sea being only saved by vigorous rowing on the part of the men. On arriving at the Montagu, they have to ascend a. Jacob's ladder to reach a long boom, and walk over it in to the ship's side, which is described as being frequently a very perilous business. In some cases when men failed to walk the boom, which they did in consequence of the sea sweeping over them they were pulled on board the Montagu by means of ropes. The men always have breakfast which consists of bacon, bread and ships cocoa, before leaving the Mars, and conveyed to the Montagu, which, as the passage some takes an hour and a half, causes it if necessity to be cold, before it reaches them. This hac been a general subject of complaint. For dinner, they have beef, a few potatoes—twenty nine amongst thirty one men is spoken of, as an example—and bread and— for tea, bread, marmalade, cheese and tea. Those who are dissatisfied with his diet have the opportunity of supplementing it, by purchases food at the canteen on board the Mars, where, however, prices rule somewhat high. Margarine at 1/3 per pound, and ham at 1/4 per pound is referred to, in that connection. Taking the food as a whole, some express satisfaction with it, except that it is frequently cold when served to them on the Montagu as above stated, while others condemn it very strongly as to quantity and quantity. The hours of labour on the Montagu have been mostly fifteeu or sixteen per day, com- mencing generally at six o'clock in the morning and, of course, finishing at ten or eleven o'clock at night, Sunday included. There are employed there about 160 Dockyard hands, of whom all but seven belong to Pembroke Dockyard. The others are from Portsmouth. The men unite in praising Mr A. M. Worthington, assistant constructor I who is in charge of them, for his kind treatment + hv/-mcrJ-mnf "0-11,1. A DRY DOCK WANTED-SUITABI E LOCAL SITES. It has been announced in the Welsh daily news- papers on what appeared to be satisfactory authority that Messrs Harlard & Wolff, ship- builders, Belfast, are anxious to secure a site for a dry dock on this side of St. George's Channel. They have, it seems, lost nearly a quarter of a million pounds sterling during the past six or nine months, through inability to undertake repairs, owing to the want of necessary dock accommodation. The repairs to the large German Atlantic greyhound Dentschlaod were refused by them on that account only a week or so ago. The question of providing a dock or docks is, therefore, one of great importance to the Company, the directors of which have determined to supply it away from Belfast, and preferably on this side of 1 the water. In such circumstances it is natural that people interested in Pembroke Dock should desire the advantages which are offered there to be considered. There are several very good sites in the Haven, but the best of them is the Pem- broke River, at or near Peunar Got. That river, which, as is well known, is a tidal estuary of Milford Haven, might, at comparatively little cost, be convested into a huge, deep water basin, two miles long and a quarter of a mile or more wide. In order to accomplish that it would be necessary to dredge away the mud which covers the bottom almost throughout to a depth probably of thirty feet on an average^ and to construct a sea wall with gates or caissons across the entrance. The dredging could be accomplished by a few dredgers in a few months, and the construction of the wall would not be a difficult matter. Such an idea was entertained as an eventual development by the Milford Haven Shipbuilding and Engineer- ing Company, which established a shipbuilding yard at Jacob's Pill in 1873. That company carried on for several years during a time of great depression in the shipbuilding industry, securing orders, doubtless mainly through the influence of Sir Edward Reed, who was its founder. Among other vessels built by them were the Japanese corvette Hi Yie, the British gunboat Acorn, a lightship for the Trinity Brethren, and a number of mercantile craft. Had the plan outlined above, which originated with that company, been carried out a number of graving docks would have been separated from the large basin near the entrance at the Gut, and such a plan which would enable a fleet of ships to be accommodated fer repairs at the same time, is practicable today, and deserves consideration by any company seeking facilities such as are desired by Messrs Harland & Wolff. If the whole of the estuary were not required a portion of it could be enclosed. Had such a proposal been made at any time, subsequent to the establishment of the Submarine Mining Works at Pennar Gut, which took place after the Milford Haven Company had been wound up, it would probably have been opposed by the Govern- ment, At the present time, however, the mining works are in the possession of the Admiralty, having been transferred to them from the War Department about 12 months ago or less and, as submarine mines are no longer considered a necessary feature of the national defences, they woild probably raise no objection to transferring them to any company that proposed to utilize the estuary as suggested. If they did, on the contrary, raise an objection the sea wall could be constructed sufficiently far to the east of the Gut to satisfy them. Another excellent site for docks, which will probably be available after the Fishguard- Rosslare Irish route is opened for regular traffic, is situate on the east side of Neyland Pill. The diversion of the Irish traffic from New Milford will, in all probability, be followed by the break- ing up of the prosent pontoon, which will then be unnecessary, thus affording vessels of large size admission to the Pill, which at its entrance con- tains deep water, having been dredged by the Company to meet the requirements of their traffic. Oae or more docks could be built on the east side, and in such a position would have the advantage of being close ts the railway, although a ship- building and repairing firm or company would probably find it to their interest to have such materials as they would require water borne rather than carried over a railway, owing to the great difference in the cost. The conclusion of an agreement with the Great Western Railway Com- pany, that would permit of this proposal being carried out, could probably be arrived at without much difficulty and at a comparatively incon- siderable expense, as far as interference with the company's present rights in the Pill would effect cost. Still another excellent site for docks exists at Pill, near Old Milford, where a building yard was carried on until a few years ago by Messrs Oswald & Mordaunt. An ulterior possible advan- tage, which Messrs Harland & Wolff might derive from establishing themselves at or near Pembroke Dock, will turn upon the use which the Admiralty intend to make of the Dockyard hereafter. Should it be intended to close it, as seems to be not unlikely, being on the spot, they would probably enjoy some advantage in treating for a lease with the Admiralty, which, if they succeeded in getting it, would place them in possession of eleven, beautiful building slips, a machinery equipment equal to the production of everything necessary in a ship, excluding possibly the guns and space adequate to any reasonable expansion. This would constitute a local development which many people would very reasonably prefer to the maintenance of a considerably reduced Royal Dockyard. # # TO EXPEDITE THE WARRIOR. Four gangs or companies of shipwrights were transferred from the Defence to the Warrior on Tuesday morning. This step was resorted to in order to expedite preparations for the steam trials of the latter, which it had been intended to carry out in August, but which will, it is now practically certain, have to be postponed until September or later, although the ship is in an exceedingly for- ward condition. EXPECTED VISIT OF A DESTROYER FLOTILLA. The Tvne fleet repair ship and tender to torpedo craft, with a flotilla of fourteen torpedo boat destroyers, are expected to arrive at Pembroke Dock during the next week or ten days, and will, thereafter, remain attached to the port for some time for instructional purposes, proceeding to sea daily and returning in the evening, as did the larger flotilla which was attached there previous to the naval manoeuvres. The destroyers Express and Kennett, which have been employed on despatch duties between Lundy Island and Pem- broke Dock ever since the Montagu went on the rocks, were relieved on Friday last by the Orwell, with which the Lydia will do duty on alternate days, left to join the flotilla above referred to. Mr A. E. Richards, chief constructor, who left for a short visit to Devonport Dockyard on Wed- nesday last, returned to duty at Pembroke Dock on Monday. He will succeed Mr George Crocker, who retires on pension on August 2nd, as manager of Constructive Department at Devonport on that date. It is not known when Mr F. B. Otlis, the new chief constructor at Pembroke Dock, will take over the duties, as he was required to await the arrival of Mr W. J. Hockaday, his successor at Hong Kong, before leaving for home. A naval shipwright apprentice of five years' service who failed to pass the professional ex- amination for the Navy a few weeks ago has been discharged. He also failed twelve months pre- viously. H.M.S. MONTAGU. REFLOATING AGAIN POSTPONED. A Lloyd's Lundy telegram states :—Opera- tions for the floating of H.M.S. Montagu on Monday morning were abandoned on account of the bad weather. There was a dense log, with rain and strong south-west by west breeze, accompanied by a somewhat heavy ground dwell. The Duncan and Mars were ready for tow- ing off and all was working well. The Montagu was lively and afloat, rolling with the swell, but at 5.30 the attempt was abandoned. The next attempt will be made on August 5th. «

HAROLDSTON WEST. PRESENTATION TO THE REV. L. H' AND MRS TRIARKS. A pleasing little incident took place at Harold- ston West on Wednesday week, when the presen tation subscribed to by the parishioners o Haroldston West and Lambston, and joined in by friends about, was made to the Rev. L. H. and Mrs Tiarks, in memory of their wedding in Janu- ary last. In consequence of general unavoidable hindrances to a public gathering the presentation was made privately by a representative few. The presentation was introduced by Mrs Howell Walters, who emphasised the spontaneous nature ot the feeling which had prompted the conception of the idea, and the hearty way in which it had been taken up.-Mr Howell Walters, in present- ing, emphasised the feeling of unity and goodwill which had marked the first year of their life in the two parishes and expressed the hope that Mr and Mrs Tiarks would long to continue with them. Mr Joseph Griffiths warmly seconded this and expressed the. hope that the gift which was the welcome of warm feeling would ever be a remem- brance of their affection.-The Rev. L. H. Tiarks in reply most warmly thanked the parishes and friends round about, who had given to him and his wife such a beautiful token of their affection and assured those present, who he asked to con vey his feelings to those not present, their sense of affection and happiness, the feeling shown to him- self and Mrs Tiarks brought.—After the health of Mr and Mrs Tiarks had been toasted warmly, the little gathering broke up.-The presentation was that of a very beautiful set, of writing table, silver candlesticks, pen, tray, and inkstand, bearing the inscription.—"From parishioners and friends of Haroldston West and Lambston, to the Rev. L. H. Tiarks M.A., on his marriage. January 30th, 1906. LAMBSTON. The service at Lambston for the next two Sun- days will be at 6 p.m. and after that alternately at ill o'clock and 6 o'clock.

The deceased lady was, in an unassuming manner, a local benefactress, and at all times took a great interest in the National School, upon which Board of Managers she was the County representative.

[ LOCAL AND OTHER NOTES The discussion that took place at the meeting of the Haverfdrdwest Town Council on Tuesday evening on the subject of the water supply was very edifying, and it is to be hoped that the lessons taught by the results of the experiments made will be, turned to good account. At the same time the residents in Portfield district-which was the venue of the experiments—are justly indignant that the tests should have been made at a timt when there were in existence two serious leakages in the water supply which would, I am told, very nearly account for the whole of the excessive consumption of water. I commend the speeches made by General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew and other speakers at the meeting, held in the Balfour Club, Haverfordwest, on Friday evening last, a full report of which appears elsewhere, to the attention of my readers. It will furnish food for a good deal of thought to every patriot-whether he calls himself a Liberal or a Conservative. General Pole-Carew's remarks were capital and to the point, whilst Mr. W. Howell Walters drew atten- tion to the German problem-which is one that must appeal to every one that has read the daily papers. The question of the balance of power in Europe is a difficult one, and it is accentuated by Russia's troubles. Matters will, no doubt, be even worse on the death of the present Emperor of Austria-Hungary, for it is a well-known fact that it is only his personality that keeps the two nations united. There seems to be every probability that on his death there will be a partition, of which Germany will get the benefit. The problems are all strong arguments against Mr. Haldane's scheme for the re- duction of the British Army, and they are increased by the other difficulties that as sail our nation in Egypt, South Africa, etc. Mr. Haldane's scheme has been strongly criticised by those best entitled to judge, both in Lords °and Commons, and in the country generally, but our autocratic Government is nevertheless going to carry out the reduction of the army without any Parliamentary discussion on the subject- if it is allowed to do so, Campbell-Banner, man and Co. were, however, going to do something of the same sort in the direction of appointing a Welsh Minister for Wales, but apparently have found out that it was a mistake, and are about to withdraw it, whilst these are not the only instances in which it has been found out, in their brief but meteoric career, that they have had to withdraw from the position they had taken up for similar reasons. One of the sights of Haverfordwest at the present time is to witness the departure at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively and the ar- rivals at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. of the special trains conveyi 19 the gangs of workmen back and forward for the day and night shifts on the new railway. In each case the gangs number about 100 men, and they have been brought here specially for the purpose of expediting the opening of the railway from Clarbeston Road to Goodwick, in order that the new route to Ireland may be complete. The men are of a superior class, but, of course, there is, -as usual, a percentage of "rough 'uns'. amongst them, and to ,>lose who know anything of the way these men live (?) it is not difficult to find them dur- ing the time off duty. Different public houses in the town are favoured by them during the time between the arrivals in Haverfordwest from one shift to the time 'they go back again, and it is a mystery to most people who know their habits how they can drink, sleep a couple of hours- mostly on the Quay, or any other place place that offers a chance for an hour or two-and then go back to do good work for the shift." However, as everybody knows, the navvies are an exceptional class, and they can live under conditions that would kill ordinary individuals. »

BICYCLE LAMP AS CLUE j COVENTRY DOUBLE MURDER TRIAL. At Warwick Assizes on Monday, Charles Ernest Robert Taylor, (21), carpenter, was indicted for the murder of an aged couple named Phillips at a lonely house in Stoke Park, Coventry.

A Story from Haverfordwest. A striking story is the more striking, ani also the more convincing when it receives the best guarantee of all-the guarantee of time. We in Haverfordwest will all agree that this endorsement of the experience of a neighbour is fall of good hope for all of us. "It was nearly four yeare ago that Doan's backache kidney pills cured me of kidney disorders, and I still have the same high opinion of tlse medicine," says Mr Jas. Jones, 12, Merlin's bill, Haverfordwest. "During the changeable weather 1 sometimes get a slight pain in my back, but a dose or two of Doan's pills always put me right ftgain." The following is Mr Jones' original state rnent I have no objection to your publish- ing the facts of my cure by Doan's backache kidney pills, for the benefit of others. For between four and five years I was a great sufferer with pains in back and loins, caused by my kidneys not acting property. I have a lot of stooping to do at my work, and the "ains in my back came very hard on me, especially when I straightened myself. The urinary system was very much upset: the secretions were thick and scalding, and there was a sediment. I was laid up for two months, and though the doctor did all he could tor me, I got no better. A friend of mine got me a box of Doan's backache kidney pills, and I soon found they were just what I wanted. I persevered with the pills and they cured me—I did not feel anything of the pains, and I was able to go to my work again. I can highly recommend Doan's pills. (Signed) James Jones."
