To Our Readers. The London Welshman and Kelt has undergone an important change since our last issue. On behalf of The London Welsh Publishing Company, Limited, Mr. T. J. Evans has acquired the copyright and title of the paper, and the Publishing Offices in future will be at 211, Gray's Inn Road, London, W.C. At these Offices for upwards of ten years the KELT was produced weekly, until its amalgamation with the LONDON WELSH- MAN some 21 months since, and the generous support given to the concern during that period, will, we feel confident be extended by our compatriots to the newspaper in its enlarged form. With the change of proprietorship the Editorial Staff is greatly extended and will include some of the most brilliant writers among the London Welsh com- munity. Its conductors will spare no effort or expense to make it a bright and useful weekly companion, giving full details of Welsh movements both in London and the Principality, and they hope that every reader will, on his part, assist them in making it known to each and all of our large and scattered com- munity, here and abroad. Its policy will be thoroughly Welsh Nationalist, a fearless critic of all shams and all that tends to disgrace a nation, and at the same time an enthusiastic supporter of all that stands best for patriotism and nationhood.

Notes and News. c; BARON CWMBWRLA is the title suggested by ] some wag for the new Welsh Peer, Sir John Jones Jenkins. WELSH M.P.'s have scored over Mr. Herbert j Gladstone, and Mr. Herbert Gladstone has scored on the taxpayer. So all is well. THE next public appointment that will cause some wire-pulling will be the post of Chief Inspector of Schools for Wales. Mr. Legard will retire shortly under the age limit. BY the sudden death of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, M,P., the Temperance cause has lost one of its most consistent and liberal advocates. THE Right Hon. Charles Owen O'Conor, known as the O'Conor Don, died on Saturday at his residence, Clonalis, Castlerea. He was born in Dublin in 1838, and was descended from an ancient Irish stock-a race of kings. SPEAKING at a demonstration in Trafalgar Square on Sunday, Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., asserted that from his experience the London Radical Clubs, from which the boozers came, contain the most reactionary politicians within the shores of Britain. Well, he ought to know. CERIDWEN DAVIES, aged seven, daughter of John Davies, newsagent, of Llansamlet, near Swansea, was reaching for some water-lilies in a pond near her home on Saturday when she fell in and was drowned. THOUGH trade is bad according to the average man's opinion, yet the revenue appears to be going up steadily. According to the Exchequer figures just published, there is an increase of over a million in the first quarter of this financial year. COUNCILLOR J. R. JAMES, of Llandovery, has in his possession the original copy of the Bishop's licence, dated 1740, appointing William Williams, Pantycelyn, the hymnist of Wales, to the curacy of Llanwrtyd and Abergwessyn, at a salary of I o a year. REMARKABLE floods were experienced in London last Friday, and a record rainfall was registered. In the City 2-19 inches of rain fell during the night, an amount far in excess of the average rainfall for the whole of the month during the past ten years. TREFECCA Calvinistic Methodist College students, numbering about forty, have received 1 donation of thirty shillings apiece for a week's holiday. The identity of the donor is an absolute secret. This announcement is a pleasing termination to the theological course it Trefecca. It is not announced as yet how many of the number will go to Aberystwyth for the week's holiday. MR. SIDNEY MARSH, a student at Cardiff University College, who has had a brilliant record, applied to the Education Committee last Friday for assistance to continue his studies in physics for twelve months at a German Uni- versity. He pointed out that other Education Committees had made grants from the higher education rate in a similar direction. Several members spoke sympathetically of the applica- tion, and the matter was referred to the Finance Committee. THE many friends and admirers of Mr. Frank Edwards, M. P. for Radnorshire, will regret to learn that he remains in a very indifferent state of health. The hon. member has just returned from a visit to Buelon without deriving much benefit from the change. ABERYSTWYTH lights were discussed at the King's Bench Division of the High Court last week, and tried the Judge's patience very seriously. Had his Lordship gone to an Aberystwyth Council meeting perhaps he would have been more pleased with the entertainment.. THE old Tabernacle Chapel in Netherfield Road, Liverpool, where the late Rev. Dr. John Thomas ministered for so many years, has just been sold to General Booth, of the Salvation Army, and is to be conveited into a home for orphans for Liverpool and the district. The Tabernacle Church, of which the Rev. O. L. Roberts, formerly of Cardiff, is the present minister, has recently removed to a new chapel in Belmont Road. THE terrible railway disaster on Sunday morning last at Salisbury, when a boat express on the South Western Railway was completely wrecked, will cause some searching inquiry as to the safety of high speed railway travelling. The fact that only 12 out of about 50 passengers escaped unhurt proves that the speed must have been enormous. RUSSIA is considered far behind England in civilisation, yet this week we read that the Duma has voted for the abolition of capital punishment. Our own Parliament, Radical as it professes to be, is not advanced enough for that.
