International Episode. — The Story of an English Beauty Who Impersonated an American. The great steamer was about to leave the wharf. The luggage was all aboard, the United States mail had clattered down like a fire- engine and had been conveyed on countless hurrying backs on board the Atlantic liner. The captain was giving the final orders, friends of the passengers were stepping down the gangway, and in a few minutes more the Teutonic would have left New York, To George Sargent the carious, bostling scene was no longer a novelty. He thought no more of crossing the herring pond "—as he took great care not to call the Atlantic—than Londoners do of running down to Brighton. It was impossible to tell, from his appearance, manner, or speech to what nationality he laid claim, though his fair, jlean-shaven face and sorupulously English clothes more than suggested an Anglo-Saxon origin. Like the sons of many American million- aires, he had been to Eton, had finished at Harvard, and now spent his year between London and New York. He was running over now—although it was the height of the New York season and the Sargent mansion on Fifth-avenue was open once a week for huge dinner parties and small cotillons-Îor the coming of age of his fag at Eton, the Earl of Tonbridge, more familiary known to his inti- mates as "Sprats." And, to be sure, the gene- ral effect of Mr. George W. Sargent was curiously like that of his quondam Eton fag, though perhaps his English accent was a little overdone. He leaned against the rail, smoking a cigar and watching the leave-takings that were going on round him. One in particular in- terested him more than the others. It was that of a pretty, vivacious girl in a fantastic hat and a smart velvet gown, with her hands full of long-stalked American Beauty" roses, who was surrounded by a number of people, all offering her boxes of candy and their audieus at the same moment. There were many young men of the party, and it made qaite a little crowd and a little scene as the iioal handshakes and farewells were given and taken. How very American," thought Sargent with a smile. The velvet dress, the hat, the candy, the roses—and the young men. There is nothing—absolutely nothing—left to the imagination. They have been giving her a send-off breakfast at Delmonico's, and, of oomse-oh, yes, of course—she's travelling by herself." This fact at least was evident as the little crowd, with many waved farewells, went in Indian file down the gangway, and the young lady, with her arms full of roses and card- board boxes, was left standing alone on the promenade deck. She'il probably be very vulgar and very amusing," said Sargent to him- self thoughtfully, choosing a fresh oigar as the steamer pushed swiftly down New York Harbour. A Westerner, I don't mind taking my oath. I shall speak to her to- morrow. After all, a fellow isn't bound to know people again when he gets back to New York." The first day out was superb. Everybody was up on deck, and rows of mummy-like figures, wrapped in far rugs and lying fall iength on steamer chairs, basked in the sun. exchanging views as to the probable length of the voyage. In February not even the swiftest ocean greyhound is sure of doing the trip within the week. George Sargent soanned the face of every" mummy" as he strode down the promenade deck, but the lady of the roses was not among them. The young man felt injured. Last night at dinner he had tnly seen her in the distance, for she was leated next to the captain's empty place, and ae was at quite a different table; but he had found out from the passenger list that her name was Grey-Miss Grey. And presently, although the ship was rolling heavily, a young figure in blue serge came staggering bravely along towards him, keeping her balance in a way which suggested a certain familiarity with the Atlantic. Just then the great ship gave an extra aideway dip, and the little figure in serge would have fallen. Sargent rushed forward. Oh, thank you t" said Miss Grey. Sargent seized the young lady by the elbow and steered her dexteriously to a vacant deck chair. You will find it perhaps nicer sitting down," he said, raising his hat. May I not fetch you a rug ?" Rugs on board ship serve the same time- honoured purpose as the salt at table d'hote or the window in a railway carriage. Sargent was not only permitted to fetch a rug from the saloon, but to tuck it around the graceful per- son of Miss Grey. She looked much nicer, he thought, in her blue serge suit, with a glimpse e crimson-Mlk shirt showing in the throat, than in yesterday's finery. Much more like an English girl, the young man said to himself. Like many Americans, Ser- gent's ideal of a woman was only to be found in London. Miss Grey won't be so nice as an English girl," he thought as he tucked the rug around her, but I dare say she'll be much more fun. As hard as nails, and will go any lengths. She will be engaged to me before we are out three days, and she will break it off at Euston Station, where some other fellow will turn up and claim her—I know the sort. You're keeping your roses, I see," he said, glancing at a superb crimson flower which was fastened in the girls jacket. Didn't you find the roses perfectly lovely in New York ? Do you get flowers like that in— in "In Omaha," suggested Miss Grey, with a awift, brilliant smile. It occurred to her at once that this Anglicized New Yorker took her for a denizen of the West, and she deter- mined not to undeceive him. Why,I should smile," abe continued; "our roses in Omaha are just perfectly elegant." "What an accent!" thought Sargent, with a shiver. "Great heavens, if my mothers and sisters could hear her But how pretty she is n hen she looks straight at you and laughs. How cheeky these girls are! No charming timidity, no blushing, no dropped eyelids. They're the weirdest mix- ture of schoolboy, philosopher, and flirt." "You New Yorkers," continued Miss Grey are just the queerest creatures. You run over all the time to Europe and don't begin to know anything about your own country. I call it real unpatriotic." George Sargent smiled a little fatuously. Nothing pleased him so mnch as to be taken for what he was, an Anglomaniao. And how > amusing, to be sure, these little Western girls were. He determined that on this voyage, where he bad none of his people with him, he would devote all his time to the study of this particular specimen. The days went by, pleasantly enough. Miss Grey proved to be a capital sailor, and on the roughest days Sargent was permitted to offer her an arm on her daily walk on the upper deck. Then they would sit side by side watching the huge indigo- coloured waves sweep by, or gazing at the brown masts ani rigging outlined against the pure transparent blue of the sky. The swish of water against the boat, the eternal, mono- tonous rocking from side to side, the same- ness of the hours, the faces, the long, smooth boards of the promenade deck, the great white boat which was swung in front of their steamer chairs—all these things combined Jiade them sleepy, idle, inconsequent. There was no doubt about it-MIS8 Grey iras a flirt, but she was a very discreet one. Though he was at her side morning and evening, Mr. George Sargent had obtained none of the favours which he had promised himself on the first morning out. If he had as much as touched her hand it was only to Help her downstairs, or when arranging her rag on moonlight nights on deck. Hang it all," he said to himself, the girl is one too muoh for me. A young woman from Omaha, and I haven't even kissed her yet Why, they all let people kiss them—in the comic papers. What about the Summer girl ?'— surely she ought to be all there on an "» Atlantic liner. The thing's a confounded sell and I'm getting quite fond of the girl—vil- lainous accent and all." Nothing amused him more than when she talJuat) Londou. Her curiosity on tihm. pomt was unbounded. She "guessed" that, above all things, she should like to meet a real lord—a real English lord. There was a girl in Omaha who had married an Italian prince; but Miss Grey, on her part, was of the opinion that the alliance had been emi- nently unsatisfactory, and there were even -itories afloat in Omaha that the bridegroom had onee been a waiter at Delmonico's. Such accidents could not happen if one contracted an alliance with an English peer. Did Mr. Sargent happen to number any English nobleman among his acquaintance ? Oh, I know one or two," said George, assuming a fine air of indifferenoe. I here's Tonbridge; he's a decent sort of chap. He was my fag at Eton, don't you know. Ton- bridge was always a bit of a fool, but as Eng- lishmen go he isn't bad. Why, if you'll give me your address in town I'll—I'll bring him to see you some afternoon." Miss Grey's eyes sparkled. Why, that will be just really lovely," she said, softly, and for the rest of the voyage she was very nice to the young man. And yet up to the last be could not make her out. Though she talked a good deal, it was prinoi- pally of Omaha, and he had to confess to him- self that she had told him very little. He had spoken of calling upon her, but he had to admit that she had never expressed a wish that he should do so. She was going to stay with some people in the country," that was all he could gather as to her plans, and yet be, the much-feted Mr. George Sar- gent, of New York, had never taken so much trouble to pJease any young woman in his life. All his theories as to the "summer girl" had been set at naught. This littlA Western miss bad known how to keep him at an aggravating distance for seven long days of lounging in a steamer ohair, for seven long evenings of moonlight walks and talks on the upper deck. And, as he reminded himself bitterly, he had not been wauting in enterprise. By the time they had landed in Liverpool the young man felt quite hurt. He lost sight of her for a time in the bustle of the Custom House and it was with a feeling of relief that he caught sight of Miss Grey's charming profile again in a railway carriage at Lime- street Station. May I see you up to town?'' he asked, jumping into the carriage, the yonng lady's brilliant smile obviously implying assent. "I may be of use to you while you are in London," said Mr. Sargent as the train thundered south: I should like you to say when you get back to Omaha that yoa had a good time over here." Bat it was not after all Mr. George Ser- pent who was destined to contribute—except indirectly-to the young lady's amusement while she was in London. As the train steamed into Euston Station a fair boy rushed for- ward to the carriage door. "Oh, Bertie! Have you come P". cried Miss Grey, while her companion ejaculated, Tonbridge! Hullo 1" shouted the fair young man, You two been over in the same steamer ? What a lark Then I needn't introduce you to Miss Dering-Grey, old man ? Been having a high old time in Washington this winter, eh, Gwen ? And have you pioked up the real Yankee twang ?" Oh, yes, I think I have," replied the girl, laughing in a soft English way. "Why, 1 can do it so well now that Mr. Sargent mis- took me for a girl from the West. I was always good at picking up an accent, you know. And—and—it's been such fun George Sargent had grown crimson from forehead to chin. Dering-Grey The name was familiar over two continents. The girl's mother was one of the most beautiful women in England; her brother was one of the British secretaries at Washington. And here was Tonbridge on the most intimate terms with a girl whom Sargent had been alternately patronising and making love to, and who had turned out to be one of the smartest young women in London. His annoyance increased when he found that Lord Tonbridge was to oonvey his fellow traveller in the Dering-Grey's oarriage alone to Grosvenor-square. Ta-ta, old chap," said Tonbridge. We shall all meet again at Tonbridge at the end of the week. Miss Dering-Grey's coming down, of course. In fact, you know, we're engaged." "I—I oocgratalate you. old fellow, I'm sure, said Sargent, forcing a smile. There was an empty feeling in the station when the carriage drove off. Sargent betook himself to a hotel and, after dinner, indited a brief letter to his Eton fag. It was to the effect that an urgent telegram from New York demanded his immediate return, so that, after all, he should be unable to join in the festi- vities of his friend's coming of age- He did' not mention in the note that he was afraid of the fine smile of the fature Countess of Ton- bridge.—Exchange.
THE BURGLARY SCARE AT CARDIFF.
THE BURGLARY SCARE AT CARDIFF. Stores in Custom House-street Entered, During Wednesday night or the early hours of Thursday morning the premises occupied by Mr. John Moon, hay and corn merchant, Custom House-street, Cardiff, were broken into, but, fortu- nately, the errand of the depredators proved a fruitless one. The entry seems to have been effected by means of a stable at the rear of the premises, the door of which was secured by a padlock and bar. Attention was first of all paid to the office. Here attempts were made to force opon the safe, but without avail, although the marka which it bears afford striking proof of the strenuous efforts made by the visitors. The drawer of a desk in the room was farced open, oDd the whole of the contents laid about the desk in a mo't elaborate style, as if they hlldlbeen care- fully sorted. Fortunately, the only things of value contained in the draw were overlooked by the thieves, for two open cheques for a considerable amount were untouched. A visit was aext paid to the warehouse, w-llertt a drawer was tampered with, but not opened. Immediately the burglary was discovered—about eight o'clock on Thursday morning—the matter was placed in the bands of the police, but up to the present no clue has been obtained to aid them in their search for the marauders.

Iruth says A speech delivered by the Roman Catholic Hishop of Sal ford ut a temperance meeting at Ashton-under-Liyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice. The Bishop suggested that, whilst strong beers should be taxed, the sale of light beers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity that more temperance reformers are not as reasonable and as practical as the Hishop of SaUord." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may be attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favournbly with the ordinary high- coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire bar- toy, and most delicately flavoured with hops, called Wor'»ters," but realty grown in tne riclI, ferule valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs. Watkins and Son, of the Hereford Urewery, are the only brewers of this famous Ale, and it is sold by over 200 Ageuta of the North, South.

Cuttings and Comments.
Cuttings and Comments. The Queen of Holland. Wilhelinina I., was, twelve years of age yesterday. During the past three week", not a singlo death has been registered in the locality of Penrith. The death-rate in Edinburgh last week was 17 per 1,000, in Glasgow 16, and in Dublin 24. Mr. A. B. Winterbotham, M.P., is suffering from cancer. His recovery is declared to be hopeless. The population of Houghton, County Michigan, is 30,000, while its valuation is set down as 40.000,000dols. Mr. F. W. Robinson, the novelist, intends to guard against tha wear and tear of overwork. He is going to take a twelve months' holiday. Paris has 87,655 trees in its streets, and each tree represents a cost to the city of £7. This makes, in round numbers, £600,000 worth of trees in the stroet". For the first time since the formation of the Wesleyan Methodist Society it has a Cabinet Minister in its Conference. In many ways Mr. H. H. Fowler is to this department of Methodism a tower of strength. It may be news to the author of The Old Maids' Club (says the Star) that a club bearing that title actually exists. It has its local habitation in Holloway, and is the ludies' club of the district. The members, however, are not vowed to the principles laid down in Mr. Z mgwill's book. Camphor enters largely into the manufacture of smokeless gunpowder, aud in consequence of the large increase iu the manufacture of such powder, the price of camphor has risen, in the case of the Chinese variety to 130s. per cwt., and in the case of the Japanese variety to 137s. 6d. per cwt. Dr. Parker, who is at present staying at Sunder- land, has informed a local reporter that, unless something quite unexpected should occur, which means unless be can succeed in displacing Mr,. Woods, the new secretary of the Congregational Union, be will retire from that body before the close of the year. A seasonable conversation.—First Doctor Busy ?'' Second Doctor: Almost worked to death." First Doctor: "Yes, it will be two months before the people returning from their health-get- ting trips will have done sending for us," Second Doctor: True: but if it weren't for these health- resorts we should have to give up business." Next Monday Captain Dalton, the American long-distance swimmer, will make an effort to beat all previous records in long-distance swim- ming by attempting to cover a distance of 30 miles. He will start from Putney Pier at ten a.m., and will be accompanied by one of the Victoria Company's boats. In discussing religious questions, Mrs. Ricks the African negresswbo recently visited the Queen, quaintly remarked, "Man's religion shouldn't be worn like a cloak—all on de outside. It orter be mo' like a porous plaster. De world may not see it, but de man knows it's dar, an' his family knows it's dur, an' a doin' of him good." An effort will shortly be made, under the auspices of the Swedish Consul, to establish a school of Swedish weaving in London. Private enterprises of a similar nature have been made before, but they have not been put upon a systematic basis. It is believed that this kind of weaving would prove a remunerative industry for lalies. During a thunderstorm on Tuesday, with heavy rain, the monument on the Hill of Hoad, Ulver- ston, was invaded by a colony of ants. Entering the dome, which is 150ft. high, they filled the staircase and the floors of the bottom rooms. There were myriads of insects, and the attendant had to carry them out by baskets full. The same thing occurred during a storm in August last year. Much sympathy will be felt for Mr. Rudyard Kipling, whose literary earnings were all deposited in the New Oriental Bank. Mr. Kipling evidently takes, according to the British Weekly, a serious view of the case, for when he learnt that the bank had stopped he immediately gave over his journey to Samoa and round the world, returning straight- way to New York. which is not unlikely to be his permanent. home. Herculite, a new French explosive, is a yellowish- grey powder, composed of sawdust, camphor. nitrate of potash, and several substances that are kept secret. It cannot be fired by sparks, by flame or by detonation. At a recent triat a half-pound charge of the compound was inserted in a blast-hole about four feet in depth, tamped with sand and earth, and fired by a special igniter. A block of stone about thirty tons was displaced. It is 277 years since Cervantes published the first part of Don Quixote." Since then 1,324 editions have appeared, comprising 528 in Spanish 304 in English, 179 in French, 99 in Italian, 84 in Portuguese, 45 in German, eighteen in Swedish, nine in Polish, eight in Danish, six in Russian, five in Greek, three in Roumanian, four in Catalan, one in Basque, and one in Latin. Probably no book save the Bible has passed through so many editions, not even excepting Shnkepeare. Many strange things have already been done in the mystic name of Technical Education: it has remained for the Bradford School Board to discover that it can be made to inclnde preparation for matriculating at a university. According to the Schoolmaster, it has eet aside a tithe of the j6500 it receives from the town council for purposes of technical education to provide for the establish- ment and conduct of a teachers' matriculation class tp help and encourage young teacheis to qualify at university examinations." Possibly the town council, if it be not as imaginative as the local school board, mny be inclined to think its donation is not being applied 1o carry out the object for which it was awarded.—St. James's Gazette. If Mr. Jesse Collings had only known what had happened at Hawarden on Tuesday afternoon when he was speaking at Soupthampton on Wednesday, he would have had an admirable text (says the Pall Mall Gazette wickedly) to lay before the liuriil Labourers' League. For that bnse desertion six years ago of the cow and tttree acres, upon which he enlarged for the hundredth time, has at length been expiated. The cow has had her revenge, and it was a revenge which came peri- lously near doing for Home Rule and all that. Seriously speaking, we wonder how many 01.1, gentlemen of 82 could stand being knocked down and trampled upon by a wild heifer and then get up apparently none the worse for bis adventure. Mr. Gladstone is heartily to be congratulated on his escape, and we take the fnct that he attended church ns usual on Wednesday to be proof that he is really as well as apparently none the worse. The cow it was that died. The head-master of the Worcester Blind College writes A study of the census shows that there are in England 34 clergymen, 21 doctors, two barristers, 14 lawyers..28 schoolmasters, 22 lec- turers and professors, and 490 musicians, ali blind and engaged in active work. My own experience is that, given the opportunity, a blind man can do almost anything. The Blind College, Worcester, has for twenty Yrlars prepared the blind sons of gentlemen for the universities, and. in addition to many pass and honour men, numbers among its old students a Fellow of Durham, a Hebrew Scholar of Dublin, a D.C.L. of Oxford, a second class in the Mathematical Tripos, and a Mus. Bac. of Cambridge. In games the blind are not a whit be- hind their seeing fellows. Astonishing as it may seem they play cricket, and enjoy it, too. The method adopted is to enclose three bicycle belts in a wicker ball as a guide to the batsmeu, and a similar contrivance rings a bell when the stumps are struck. This new version of an old rhyme is given by the St. James's Gazette for the benefit of Hawarden excursionists :— This is the House, where G.O.M. lives. This is the Park, which encircles the House, where G-O-M. lives. This is the Drive, which runs through the Park, which encircles the House, where G.O.M. lives. This is the Premier, blithe and gay, who walked in the Drive ouo summer's day, which runs through the Park, which encircles the House, where G.O.M. lives. This is the Cow which, sad to say, attached the Premier, blithe and gay, who walked in the Drive one summer's day, which runs through the Park. which encircles tho House, where G.O.M. lives. And this is the Press, which found a way, to enliven its news in holiday iand mnke the gaping public pay), with the tale of the Cow, which, sad to say, attacked the Premier, blithe and gay, who walked in the Drive one summer's oay, which runs through tho Park, which enciicles the House, where G.O.M. lives.

A GERMAN IRONMASTER AND HIS WORKMEN. A Labour Monument to Herpi Krupp. I A correspondent writes from Es-en t-, the jore has been performed ti. lay (Monday) one of the most inU'ret'tin" ceremonies in ccnneclion with the labour question, and one which forms a pleasant contrast to whItt has, unhappily, been the fact in other great centres of employment, where dus* ruction Hnd death have resulted in the conflict totwrfen employers and ":1)' ployed. In July, 1888, Alfred Krupp, the foni"i»-r of the gieat steelworks sit Essen, died, nnd, t ■ ongh the 1 own erected a statue to his mmm'v i.ppo-iie the Towri-hallof Kssun, the iiinlwy » nd Uie work- men re-,iolvej tliitt ttiit w,-is ;i to iiia-t-ic their love and devotion m tfiw imn who had ever by his counsel and acis of benevolence been their father and friend, so subscriptions were volun- tarily raised, resuhhig in the unveiling to-day of what is strictly the monument of tho workrwen's esteem and affection for their late friend and employer. Dedication speeches were by working men, and finally Mr. F. A. Krupp, son of Alfred Krupp, acknow- ledged, with deep feeling, this act of his men and their leaders in the works, and, in return and to show his veneration for hii father's memory, devoted tho sum of £ 25,000 to erecting on a healthy and convenient spot a sufficient number of cottage*, with garden?, for the infirm and invalided of Itifs men iind tha widows of men who had died in hia employ. After this (here was a march-past of 17,000 of the men employed at the Essen Works and deputations from the other and outside- establishments belonging to Mr. Klupp The whole scene presented a spectacle of the greatest interest, and the respectful manner iu which all the men doffed their caps in passing their employer, who stood to Acknowledge theitr devotion, showed unmist ikably that tho men looked upon him, not merely as the payer of their wages, but as their friend and as the son of him whom they were attached to, and whose monument they had mainly helped to erect.. The whole was a scene that might, perhaps, teach other employers that workmen can appreciate such acts of kindness as those given by the late Alfred Krupp for the benefit of his men and so gene- rously followed by his eoo. Such a contrast is a tribute to bumarfity, and is preferable, indeed, to the labour scenes recently exhibited in Ameri and England, and may be a lesson to other large1 employers of labour, indicating as it does the amity and good feeling that can exist between; employer and employed."

ALARMING ACCIDENT AT A REGATTA. Sixty People Thrown Into the Water. Durfng the progress on Thursday afternoon of the regatta at Walton-on-Thames a landing stage suddenly collapsed and about sixty people were precipitated into the water. Much excitement was caused by the untoward incident, but ample assistance was promptly to hand, and all were safely brought to the bank, but many were in a greatly exhausted condition.
| THE LABOUCHERE INCIDENT.
THE LABOUCHERE INCIDENT. How Punch Describes It. Tenniel, the Punch artist, hits off this week the only political situation left to us for the moment —Gladstone versus Labouchere. The title of the cartoon is borrowed from lngoldsby, The Little Vulgar Boy." The Grand Old Butler, standing on the doorstep of 10, Downing-street, is frowning in fine upper-servant style at a truculent-looking little fellow, who bus been ordered off." Says Master Labby (to the Butler); "Won't give me a situation, won't yer ? Then I'll break ytr winders! Ya-ah!" THE TIMES PUTS THE MATTER PLAINLY. It would assist many people (remarks the Times) to form a just estimate of the correspondence between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Labouchere, which has just been published by the latter, as well as of tbe copious comments upon it made by one of its authors, if they would bear in mind that the serious business of Mr. Labouchere's life is to manage Truth, and that politics are merely his amusement. For politicians of both parties and all degrees of eminence he entertains a contempt which he never attempts to disguise, either in public writing or m ordinary convention, but for his own weekly periodical he has an equally un- teisned respect. From the revered chief—" the People's Minister "—down to the humblest toady of the Hawnrden circle, he regards them all in tha light of material for the manufacture of saleable paragraphs and pungent epigrams. Unless this centrultact.be stwdily kept in view, it is quite centr.,1 tacl, be stpndily kept in view, it is quite impossible to do justice to Mr. Labouchere, who will becredited on one band with virtues to which he lays no claim, and, on the other hand, con- demned for failings from which he is free.
LONDON DOCKS AND WORKMEN^
LONDON DOCKS AND WORKMEN^ Recommendation by Mr. Tom Mann. "The Docks and Wharves of London" was the subject of a lecture by Mr. Tom Mann at the Democratic Club, London, on Wednesday night. In propounding his scheme to mitigate the evils of the present system of casual employment, he said it Iiad been estimated that out of 22,000 doekers in London some 18,000 were in a constant 81ate of fluctuation. He held that with an exten- sion of this pernicious practice the dockers and riverside labourers generally would be in a state of starvation. To remedy this he proposed that tha sectional interests of the docks should bo wiped out and common interests substituted under some central authority, which should take sole control both of the docks and the labourers thereat employed.
THE CRUSADE AGAINST LICENCES.
THE CRUSADE AGAINST LICENCES. Two Extinctions at Ipswich, At Ipswich Brewster Sessions on V»udnes<iay the licensing justices withdrew the licences of a public- house and a beerhouse, they considering that. they were no longer required. The number of fully- licensed houses in Ipswich is now 139 and of beer- houses 152, giving one house to every 201 persons ot the population. NO NEW LICENCES FOR KETTERING. Great interest- was ttroused at the Kettering Brewster Sessions on Wednesday, when several applications for new licences were made. Strenuous opposition was made, and none of the licences were granted. An old licence at Thorpe Malsor was not renewed, and the bench reserved their decision in one or two other applications for renewal.
THE GOVERNMENT AND WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT,
THE GOVERNMENT AND WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT, The Evening New and Post says: — The Welsh Liberationiats continue to insist thllt Welsh disestablishment shall have the second place on the official and authorised Gladatonian programme. Some of them vuguely threaten a withdrawal of support from Mr. Gladstone unless their demands nre complied with. There is a strong feeling, how- ever, amongst English Radicals who do not c -re a bruss button for Wel-h disestablishment that after Home Rule the Government must devote their attention to some vote-catching project specially affecting Englmd. The bitch of questions known as the "London Programme" is, it is thought, pretty sure of early attention, and the fact that Mr. H. H. Fowler, the new President of the Local Government Board, is a Betterment man is regarded as a favourable omen.
