Peckbam, July 12, 1889. Dear Sir,—I am a poor hand at expressing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. YouJj; lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of I Tracheotomy' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one co-iid possibly have had a more violent cough; it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without dilliculty.-I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL." UTTERLY UNRIVALLED. The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is understated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by the specialist, Dr. H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the use of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. WEIGHT IN GOLD. Under date Sept. 8, Mr. Hill writes:—" I should long since have been dead but for your Lozenges- they are worth their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splendid cough remedy they are." Heating's Lozenges are sold in tins. Is. ltd. each. The unrivalled remedy for COUGHS, HOARSENESS, and THROAT TBOUBLES.

NOTES. By "OBSERVER:" CARDIFF. THURSDAY MORNING. As I turned into the busy St. Mary-street shop of Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co. last night (which is eminently progressive although stationery—ahem !) I saw on the counter a little hook-the last, doubtless, of a vanished pile-bearing the name of the

Chief. I looked more closely and saw that it was the long promised brochure on Yankee Land and the Yankees," which would have been issued in the summer but for the disastrous fire. I thought to myself Yon book shall be mine," and, turning to the gentleman of Norman lineage,who, with beaming face, pre- sides so capably over the busy establishment- I winked the wink familiar to all pressmen, and which speaks of transference without the metallic pass (to Baldwinise a bit). The bearer of an ancient name was en rapport in an ins o.,nt" and I left hastily, crammiug the last precious acquisition into my breast pocket for fear more gentry of my persuasion might be on the prowl. Having reached a place of safety I dipped into the little boo" and—truth to tell— spent over it such vsmnants of the evening as office duties leav? to a journalist in these degenerate days. Time was when if a man strolled into an oJice on Tuesday with a report of something that happened the previous Friday fortnight he was considered a prodigy of smarraess, and people feared that a paper with such push on its staff was "ruining along tVe illimitable inane" towards intellectual conflagration, the strain being too fearful to last. But times is holtored." However, to the little book, which, as it is the production of the Chief, I cannot speak of as freely as I shc^d like, because what I intended for honest commendation might be taken by outsiders,who don't know the Chief L3 well as we do in the office, for flattery, so I will not say what I should dearly like to or what the little volume deserves. But I may perhaps be permitted to add that the perusal of it—or rather the re-perusal, for it is an edited reprint of what originally appeared in the Western Mail-gave me vast delight enhanced by the re-production of the very clever cartoons with which "J.M.S. from the ^varied stores of a per- fectly abysmal imagination, illustrated the wanderings of the chief. Now, let me see what there is to write about. Home affairs—by which I mean the office-salubrious. Everybody, from the top to the bottom, in go**d humour; the Sporting man lying low; the Poet sober; nobody else married yet; those who aren't wish they were, those who are wish they weren't—as usual. But in such a state of things as this there is no material for notes, and with the P.D. (he isn't married either) clamorous, I must make a plunge and go for something. Baldwin has wound up his show at Cardiff and takes down his shutters at Swansea to- night. Whatever his methods, whether one sides with Stead or with Labouchere, one thing is certain—th»t he has caused during his Cardiff visit a tremendous sensation: everybody was talking of him, and a local preacher reading on the Sabbath of the prophet mocked by the children with, Go up, thou bald head," read the verse, "Go up, thou Baldwin," such was the impression left in his mind by this clever conjurer. That people should have so readily put the whole business down to the supernatural even when Baldwin distinctly disclaimed any such thing is a sign of the times. Spiritua lism, mesmerism, electricity, magnetism, Mahatmaism—these are words that rise to people's mouths the minute they are in the least bit puzzled: con venient refuge for minds to which much cogitation is irksome. I am myself a believer in the existence of extra- natural forces, but I think it is tolerably certain that such have never yet been- dis- played on any public platform, either in England or anywhere else. The conditions requisite are not to he found in public halls or in front of excited audiences. The Santa Clans" movement flourishes- The Dorcas, too, looks most-hopeful. May I ask my lady readers who have not yet come over to help us to do so at once, and those who have come to bring others with them. We are not shilly-shallying over this busi- ness. We mean, with the kind assistance of the public, to give.tke poor children of Car- diff a Christmas treat such as they have never had before. Come, then, and aid us in the work. What is to be done with these Anarchists It would be difficult to mention any punish. ment too horrible for them. Murder with malice aforethought directed against a par- ticular individual is almost virtue in com- parison with such senseless, aimless devilry. The sooner a clean sweep is made of Anarchists everywhere the better. I fear we have them nearer home than some people think; at any rate, I know that a paper called Anarchy has subscribers even in peace- ful Wales. Somebody has been claiming damages from the Cardiff Rural Sanitary Authority on account of a defective grating, on which a horse slipped and injured itself. There are many gvaiings and cellar-traps within the bounds of Cardiff which are extremely dangerous.. They are blackleaded and polished to a high degree of slipperiness, and when the foot rests on them it acts as though it were on a minature ice-pond, and if the individual isn't active he runs a risk of a very nasty and even fatal fall.. A wretched-looking bull was wandering about Riverside yesterday without any visible means of subsistence. Indeed, it looked so thin, scraggy, and woe-begone that it seemed more like what one would suppose an astral bull to be than anything else. The peor thing was going along pretty quietly, perhaps I looking for the slaughterhouse, its only natural and legitimate destination. Suddenly a girl hove in sight with a big red muffler round her neck. This roused the feeble remnant of inetinct in the bull, his eye glared, he turned round, and had not the girl quickly skedaddled round a convenient corner there might have been a tragedy. Hoping as I do that the future national 1 museum of Wales may be located at Cardiff I note with interest the following from the Oswestry Advertiser:—Mr. Herbert Lewis, who has introduced a Bill on the subject, read a paper on "A Museum Grant for Wales before the Welsh National Society of Liverpool last week. Mr. Lewis has a strong case, which cannot be justly refused by Parliament. Scotland draws a grant of £16,636, Ireland receives £22,208, and. the Welsh are quite. j much a separate nation as the Irish or the Scotch. Now that Wales is to have her own University, any contention that she must be content with her theoretical share in the British Museum, for example, is out of court. Her national status is recognised for the purposes of education,and a museum, which is essential to a proper course of study, follows as a matter of course. It is not only a museum which is included in Mr. Lewis's scheme (continues the paper) it is a National Library also, and further provision for the encouragement of art. To the antiquary Wales is full of interest, and ,Mr. Lnwis made an excellent point whe U he said that the removal to a Welsh Library of the Records of Wales, now buried, we may almost say, in the Record Office in London, would be a boon to the student, and would facilita;te the publication of the archives. Mr. Lewis, there can be no doubt, will receive the cordial support of all the antiquarian societies of the Principality in his patriotic efforts to secure in this matter the measure of justice which for want of importunate asking has hitherto been denied to Wales.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Interesting Pars about Interesting People. It is estim -.ted that fox-hunting ooste the country £ 270,000 a year. "TrutV states that the Dub of Argyll is almost the best of cir public speakers. The son of the late Dl uleep Singh-Prince Frederick Dhuleep Singh—is in the Suffolk Yeomanry Cavalry, and is very popular in the Eastern Counties. The Duke of Teck and the Duke of Rut- land were on Tueadpy initiated members of the Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes at Southend. Another soldier h. been raised from the ranks. Sergeant Walter Temple Willcox, 18th Hussars, has been promoted to be second lieu- tenant of the 5th Lanoers. it is now stated that "Dean Stanley's Life," one of tli ■ most notable of coming books, will be ready before Chrirtma*. Mr. Rowland E. Protheru'?, who is writing it, with the co- operation of Dean Bradley, is a son of Canon Protheroe. Tlio "Manchester Guardian" London corres- pondent. says it is privately stated tha.t Colonel North has consented to contest the represen- tation of West Leeds in opposition to Mr. Herbert Gladstone. Tt is believed that Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir E. Ashmead- Bartlett are his backers in the venture. The indisposition from which Sir Arthur Sullivan is suffering is not considered in any way serious. A few days since, doubtless wine; to the inclement weather, he caught 3old, which soon developed into a mild attack jf bronchitis. This has temporarily affected his voice, and renders it neoessarv for Sir Arthur to keep his room, but he fully expects to be well enough to go to Berlin next week.

TAFF AND BARRY COMPANIES. Will Probably Make an Appeal to the House of Lords. A correspondent writes:—"A good deal of interest, as well as -surprise, was aroused last tveek among the Cardiff freighters at the Docks by the decision of the Court of Appeal ( in the case of Davis v. the Taff Vale Rail- 1 way Company. Mr. Justice Stephens, who ] Eirit heard the case, gave judgment for the ] faff Vale Companv, on ths ground that the ] base line at the bottom of the West Bute Dock was the line from which the distance to the colliery was to be measured, and not Penarth Dock, as w?< contended by the freighters. Nothing was then said about the freighters being the wrong parties. The appeal < igainst this decision was dismissed last week ( m the ground that the only party who had 1 right to complain. was the Barry Railway 1 Jcmpany—a rather singular decision, as the Freighters, and not the Barry Company, are ■ :he debtors to the Taff Vale Company. I ( think, however, I am right in saying that the lirectors of the Barry Railway do not intend to leave the matter in its present position. Their action will, however, be with the Rail- ivay Commissioners, who, it is alleged, fixed :he base line, as is the case in Liverpool. How- ever, the decision of the Court of Appeal ] ivill enable the Taff Vale directors to recover the £ 50,000 due to them from the freighters, ilond this, I believe, they intend to do. The J Dourt of Appeal held that the Taff Vale Company had power to charge their maximum rate of a penny per ton per mile, but they ire under an agreement with the Barry Raii- way Company to clisrge the same rate per mile to the Barry freighters as to those who ,hip their coals at Cardiff." We are informed that some freighters ex- pected the decision given in the Court of Appeal, and took the precaution to deduct the amount in dispute from both the Taff and Barry accounts. Now that they are pledged to be debtors of the Taff, they will lot, of course, pay Barry. It is probable, | lowever, that the case, in which the Barry Company are the actual defendants, will hie taken to the House of Lords. The chreotore 1 )f that company are in London this week naking preparations for the introduction of t Bill in Parliament, which, it is rumoured, 1 ivill contain some startling clauses. j

Ocean Record-Breaking. Never in the history of ocean record-break- ing (says the Daily Graphic) has there been such an alternation of successes as that which is now taking place between the two great Cunarders, and it is quite useless to guess bow long it may go on. The Lucania has made three outward voyages and two inward, and of the five runs four have been record-breaking. The Campania, after her first great inward run, the speed of which has not yet been surpassed, contented herself with making ordinary runs till the Lucania appeared. Then the spirit of rivalry was stirred within her, and since her Septem- ber passage every run has been record-breaking. ThejBampania is now 7h. 51min. ahead of any othw steamer except the Lucania on the east- ward passage, while the Lucania is lh. 37min. a.head of any other vessel except the Campania on the westward run. The Clyde and the Cunard Line have certainly good reason to be proud of the performances of the two magnificent si -amers, which are as decisively ahead of all others in speed as they exceed any other ocean liner in tonnage.

Admiral Grant at Cardiff. Admiral Grant, C.B., who is on a visit to this district and other parts of the Principality, on ruesday delivered interesting addresses to sea- faring men in the port of Cardiff. Addressing 1 meeting in the Sailors' Home, the admiral gave m account of his recent thrilling experiences, which were the more acceptable through his knowledge of seafaring affairs and the bond of sympathy that was at once established between himself and the sailors. The admiral, who is well- known for his devotion to evangelistic and philanthropic work, was subsequently the principal speaker at the Police Institute, where the members of the force assembled in con- siderable numbers. On Wednesday evening Admiral Grant visited the Seamen's Institute, Barry Dock, and gave a stirring description of experiences during his long connection with the British Navy.

Liberal M.P's. and the Strike. An adjourned conference of Liberal M.P.'s and others was held at the National Liberal Club, London, on Wednesday to consider the csoal dispute. Mr. Woods, M.P., and Mr. Cowey, president of the Yorkshire Miners' Association, spoke on behalf of the miners, and Mr. Bainsbridge, of Sheffield, for the colliery owsir-i-s.—A resolution was passed pledging sup- port 0 the miners and condemning the conduct of the mine owners in proposing unacceptable terms. The resolution also expressed the hope that the parties to the dispute might again make an attempt to bring it to an early and just con- clusion.

St. David's Day in London. Further arrangements have been made in connection with the holding of a Welsh National Festival at St. Paul's Cathedral on St. David's Eve, 1894. A meeting of the sub-committee appointed to superintend the musical portion of the service was held on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of the Rev. Killin Roberts, in his rooms at the Clergy House, Margaret-street, when there were present the Revs. Morris Roberts and Crowle Ellis (secretary), Messrs. John Jones, C. S. Cartwright, J. E. Davis, D. Thomas. J. Hughes, and J. Pierce. The hymn tunes selected for the processional were" Ffigys- bren" and "Chenies," and before the sermon and during the collection, Hyfrydol," "Hen Ddarbi," and "Wyddgrug" will be sung. Psalms cxxxvi. and exxxvii. to Gregorian Tones, and the anthem "Bendigedig fyddo Arglwydd Dduw Israel," by John Thomas, Llanwrtyd.. Mr. David J. Thomas's "Magnificat" and Nunc Dimittis were also chosen, these being compositions of more than ordinary merit by the comparatively youthful and promising Welsh

Jewish Wedding at Cardiff. FREEDMAN—FLIGELSTON. On Wednesday afternoon the marriage was celebrated, in accordance with the ancient rites of the Jewish nation, between Mr. Harry Freed- man, stockbroker, London, and Miss Lillie Fligelston, fifth daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fligelston, of Cardiff, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. Jacobs (brother-in law and sister of the bride), Rhubina House, Cow- bridge-road, Cardiff. In the drawing-room a large canopy of heliotrope velvet, silk- lined ard decorated with gold valiance and bullion fringe, was suspended on four poles and stretched over the heads of the officiating ministers (the Rev. D. Wasserzug, the Rev. — Carmenitski, and the Rev. — Ham- burgh) and the bride and bridegroom. The bride was bewitchingly attired in a full train bengaline gown of soft peach bloom, pictu- resquely shaped with double puff, lace-edged sleeves, and bodice finished uniquely above the hips with twists and bows of silk. An exquisite veil of real Brussels lacs fell over her face, and was drawn back to the shoulders by a full Greek chaplet of orange blossom. Her only ornament was a diamond pendant (the g':ft of the bridegroom). She carried a beautiful chatelaine bouquet of bridal flowers. Four bridemaids clustered round the bride— Miss Beccy Fligelston (sister of the bride) and the three Misses Freedman (Rebecca, Amelia, and Annie), sisters of the bridegroom— attired in daintily-made and exquisitely-fitting gowns of pure white crepon lace, trimmed and enriched with baby ribbon bows and ties. They carried bouquets of white chrysanthemums and fern. Mr. B. Jacobs, brother-in-law of the bride, gave her away." Mr. David Freedman (brother of the bridegroom) was best man. The wedding guests gathered round the bridal group on three sides, no one, however, venturing to stand behind the clergy, and Mrs. Jacobs took up her position as close as possible to her blushing. but happy, little sister. The ceremony commenced with a musical intonation in Hebrew, which was followed by an instructive and interesting address, delivered by the English minister, Mr. Wassereug, at the conclusion of which the bridal pair sipped (bridegroom first) from a small silver cup of wine, handed to them by the priest. Blessings in Hebrew iollowed, and the bride was instructed to "remove her glove." and the bridegroom then placed the ring upon the forefinger of her right hand. The cup of wine was again handed to them, and they sipped for the second time, an acknowledgment that they would willingly taste together of both the sweets and bitters of life. A wine-glass was placed at the bridegroom's feet, and he having valiantly smashed it to atoms- a token that his, leve vows could be &[1; easil, hroken as the glass made whole—the kissing of the bride com- menced in earnest, and the bridal party trooped into an adjoinine room to sign the register. The gentlemen were attired in evening dress, and, as is customary among the Jews, did not remove their hats during the ceremony. The ladies wore very beautiful reception gowns and no bonnets. Mrs. B. Jacobs (sister of the bride) was attired in a full-train bengaline gown, with true lOTeri", knots in heliotrope running over a black ground work. It was enriched with deep silk guipure lace. Mrs. Margolies (another sister of the bride) wore black and heliotrope, with jet trimmings. Mrs. Fligelstone wore mulberry bengaline, trimmed with beaver velvet and bronze passe- menterie. A champagne dinner followed the signing of the register, at which a beautiful wedding cake occupied a position of honour, but as an ornament only, as it is customary among the Jews not to cut the wedding cake until the bride returns from her wedding tour. The bride's travelling dress was most tasteful. The gown and coat were of biscuit brown cloth. This was surmounted by a toque ornamented with two skunk tails, to match the trimmings of the costume. The happy pair will spend their honeymoon in Paris.

The Tin-plate Trade. MESSRS. MOREWOOD'S AMERICAN OPERATIONS. We understand that progress is being made T-ith the tin-plate works of Messrs. E. More- wood and Co., at Gas City, Indianopolis. Two new mills are receiving the finishing touches, and will be re-started in the course of a week or so. Mr. J. H. Rogers, the managing partner, is at present in the States, and will probably start the mills himself. It is the intention of the firm to establish a complete tinworks in Gas City, but this will depend, of course, on the future of the tariff. THE BURRY WORKS. The above works, which are leased by Messrs. Morewood for the manufacture of black plate, are now going merrily, and the firm hope to keep it going until the expiration of the lease— January next. What will happen then remains to be seen, and will depend upon the course of affairs in the States. The Burry Company are now advertising for a manager, and this would seem to point to the fact that they intend run- ning the establishment themselves when the market improves. THE ASHBURNHAH WORKS. At a meeting of the directors of the Ashbum. ham Tin-plate Works, Burry Port, Mr. William Pritchard, manager, tendered his resignation. We understand that Mr. Pritchard leaves Burry Port to undertake the management of the Vernoa Works, Briton Ferry. EXTENSION AT DAFEN. Some time ago it was announced in the Western Mail that two new mills were being erected at the Dafen Tinworks, which has recently changed hands, with Mr. Bowland Maclaran, J.P., as manager. The mills are now nearly ready, and can be started in the course of the next fortnight. The engines have been manufactured by the local firm of Richard Nevill and Co., Llanelly, while the boilers are from Alloway's. It is not certaiu, however, that a start will be made immediately. Indeed, there is a rumour in general circulation that the new mills will not be started until the New Year, or until such time as the prospects of successful working are brightened. THE DISPUTE AT CILFREW, NEATH. The Cilfrew Tm-plate Works, which havwt been idle for nearly six weeks, are to be re- started on Monday next.
