(FROM SOUTH WALES VAILY NEWS, 9TK JANUARY, 1894.) "VEBDICT OF NINE HUNDRED."—Under this title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, org3.11 builders, and music ware. housemen, have collected all imposing array of testi. momals and Press opiniolls relating to the quality uL the DlusICal Illstrumcllts supplied by them. The firm lIS SO well known in Ca,rditf, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here to dwell upon its lllfluence and commandillg position. This collectlOn of testimonials serves, however, to do something IIIore than certify ,to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, ill a scnBe, how steady is the gTowth among the general public of a .de¡,;ire for a ImowledgtJ of music, and how increasingly numerous, even 111 the homes of the working classes are lllanos, organs, aud harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos and while many of them have reference to m08t costly instruments containing all the bte8t improve- ments, supplied to tbp well. to-do, the greater nmn- ber relate to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love fur so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though in the Principality music has for generations beeu the chief recreatiou of the people, It has for the most part beeu choral mnsic in conuedion wi th cllUrches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials bave been re- ceived from every qUlLrter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourahlv of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments. R. J. HEATH and Soxs INVITE INSPECTION.

NOTE Sr
NOTE Sr By "OBSERVER." CARDIFF, THURSDAY MORNING. GIHm will be cast over Welsh musical circles when the news goes forth to-day that Mr. Haydn Parry is dead. The sad intelli- gence comes with startling- and painful suddenness. Few, probably, were aware that Mr. Parry was seriously ill, but the blow has fallen, and a noble and gifted father has been bereft of a, child who, in the divine art, was his second self, and Wales- the wider Wales that comprehends Welsh- men everywhere all the world over-is the poorer for the loss of one whose brilliant and promising career seemed far as yet from its meridian. This is not the place to dwell on the late Mr. Parry's admirable musical attainments, nor on his facile and popular productions' nor on the geniality, the bonhomie of the man himself. I can but voice the feeling of every reader of the Evening Express by ten- dering to Dr. Parry and to the sorrowing mother, sympathy respectful and sincere. Wales, and musicians everywhere, will long treasure the memory of this gifted son of song, so early snatched away, we may be well assured, to join the choir invisible and make music with them in a brighter sphere than that which mourns his loss. H ow swift the stroke, how strange and hard to bear A bright young life and gifted snatch'd away Y cars crown'd with honours seem'd his guerdon here. D eath, thou hast done a cruel deed this day N o more on earth, from that once eager pen, P lenteous in power, sweet harmony shall flow. A 11, all is silent, ne'er to wake again :— R ent from the world he'd charm'd so oft below- R ent but to fill-ob, summit of desire- Y onder a place that claiin'd him in the choir! THE OFFICE POET. Readers will not forget the big meeting to-night when Sir John Gorst and Mr. J. M. Maclean are the principal speakers. I trust there will not only be a big muster of Con- servative working-men, but of Radical work- ing men, too. The latter, in proportion as they are thoughtful and intelligent, are sure to hear something to interest them, and new light will be shed on old and current pro- blems, which cannot but yield food for re- newed discussion. Questions, by the way, are freely invited, and will be as freely answered. If my readers are ever on the look out for something to cheer them up I strongly advise a visit to Cardiff Bridge, or, better still, Fitzhamon-embankment, any afternoon when there is a match on at the Cardiff Arms Park. On these occasions half a dozen policemen are stationed along the riverbank to keep out the lads who would fain enter the magic enclosure without the essential metallic pass." Yesterday, as usual, the sport was in full fling. The river was fairly low, and in the mud and the water all the way from Cardiff Bridge to the bridge at Tudor-road were scores of boys engaged in the merry sport of dodging the coppers," and endeavouring to obtain access to the Tom Tiddler's ground beyond. It was evidently rare sport, and as the afternoon wore on the scores of lads increased to hundreds, and the fun grew fast and furious, whilst the' spectators entered fully into the idea, and were as pleased as though it had baen got up specially for their amuse- ment. The policeman's life is certainly not a happy one on these occasions. Watch this harassed public servant as he chases away the boys that swarm along the bank. As fast as his martial form advances they retire to ittack the bank again in flank and in rear. Up from the bed of the river they swarm. Flying skirmishers or wasps round a peach nu it with his tormentors. He can- I not run, it is not dignified; therefore his patrol allows of time for charge, sally attack, and retreat, now here and now there, which must severely tax his patience and temper, but it's sport of a rare kind to the boys. I would suggest that all this kind of thing is eminently calculated to bring our excel- lent police force into contempt, and would suggest that the football authorities con- sider some otliwv means of restraining intruders from breaking into the enclosure during matches. I wish people would not send me anony- mous letters-for their own sakes. Letters intended for publication must be acconr panied by the name and address of the sender, f only as a guarantee of good faith. I have to sweep many a smart thing into the w.p.b. Simply because this very simple, but very necessary, rule has not been attended to. Miss Hill delivered a very charming speech on Wednesday, which was, however, no surprise to those who knew of her rare elocutionary gifts. Alike in social and electioneering work, Miss Hill has turned her eloauence to rkrht ex-cfillprit 9A-nnnt.
IAMERICAN LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
I AMERICAN LIQUOR TRAFFIC. The Prohibition Crusade and Failure in South Carolina. A report; by Mr. Michael Herbert on the liquor traffic legislation in the United States has just been issued. The report, which deals with the subject since November, 1889. ob- serves that in many of the Union States tempe- ranee instruction in public schools has been made compulsory, but the system did not appear to be a success. Total prohibition is in force in seventeen States, but only seven have Constitutional prohibition, and in two it is statutory only. In South Carolina a dispen- sary law had been passed as a compromise to prevent total prohibition. It was a new de- parture in American liquor legislation, and has especial interest on account of its pimilarity with certain features of the. Gothenburg system. Mr. Tilman, the Governor of South Carolina, in an interview published a few months ago, stated that he was sanguine that the law would ,u 'I u be a success, but in the opinion of others in a position to judge it will be almost impossible of enforcement. It has been bitterly attacked by both liquor dealers and ultra-prohibitionists, and has been also opposed by disinterested Americans on the ground that it is a State monopoly, its chief defence being' that it will afford a means of raising considerable revenue, and because it is a serious .interference with in- dividual liberty. It seems to be doubtful whether the law will be held to be constitu- tional by the United States courts. It is the opinion1 of the majority of the political men in Washington who have carefully watched the operation of the different systems that high licence, if not the most sentimental, has proved to be the most practical and satisfactory method of checking the liquor traffic. Prohibition, they admit, is an excellent system in theory, but the immense difficulties which have arisen ur the United States in connection with its en- fo.'eement have rendered it less successful than it-s promoters originally anticipated. For, apart from the incitement to illicit trafficking which so stringent a system encourages, and thet resentment felt by its opponents on account of its interference with individual freedom, the proximity of non-prohibition States where liquor can be obtained, and the clause in the Federal Constitution which enables e, cry Amrrican citizen to keep and drink as much liquor as he pleases, have proved very serious obstacles to the law being properly carried out. The dispensary law came into force in South Carolina on July 1 last, and her Majesty's Vice-Consul at Charleston, Mr. Uarkness, writing on this subject under date of Septem- ber 18. states: —" .Public sentiment is against it in its present form. The prohibitionists are opposed to it because, as they claim, it does not prohíbll-it merely transfers the place, where liquors may legally be sold from a private to a, public establishment. The law- is objected to, on the other hand, by the non- prohibitionists for the reason that it is a meddlesome and unwarranted interference on the part- of the State with the personal liberty of private citizens. The system was a com- promise between what is known as Local Option and unrestricetd licence, partaking to a certain extent of the features of both. it is admitted by the advocates of the Act that at the next session of the Legislature some amendments will have to be made in order to break up the large illegal traffic in liquor that is now being carried on. LETTER FROM THE BISHOP OF CHESTER. The Bishop of Chester, commenting Oil the report in Wednesday's issue of the "rimes, points out that:—"The North American Review for February last contains an article by the Governor of South Carolina, in which he brines the history of the jaIl; up to date, and is able to assure the lovers of temperance throughout the laud that the dispensary sys- tem is a grand success, as compared to the saloon, from any standpoint, of the licence system; and that three-fourths of his fellow citizens are so much pleased with it that it is safe to prophesy that never again will a bar- keeper in South Carolina sell liquor by the drink under licence ,.m the Statf.' The central principle of this law is," continues the bishop, "closely akin to that of the Gothen- burg system and of the reform with which my name—happily, not standing by any means alone—has the honour of being associated. It places the public-house in pubic hands. It rescues the most thorny and, perhaps, the most vitally important of monopolies from the domi- nating motive of private gam. It is the ..reform to which Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Chamberlain have borne emphatic testimony as that which alone goes to the. root of the evil; and even ardent prohibitionists are beginning to see that the temperance bow must be fitted with tins as a second string, if it is to do wide execution. They see that. supposing the course of the Local Veto Bill to have run smooth, only a very few communities can be expected to adopt it, and that a less drastic remedy may well be placed within the reach of those who are not yet ripe for prohibition. Mere numerical re- duction of public-houses is but a slender and insufficient reed to rest upon. This was most forcibly pointed om by Mr. Gladstone in 1390. But place the public-house in public hands, and, together with numerical reduction, a Iva I-e change of Inotin>, by the elimination of private profit, will be introduced. There is ample room and justification for the trial of the central principle in either of these three forms —State licensing, munic pal licensing, and through an authorised company. The last has this great advantage for pioneer work-that under it the community stands to win, not to lose. Failtire-bizt the system, wherever tried, has never yet known fàilun,wonld fall on the shoulders of those venturing for the public weal.

Alleged Pocket-Picking at Neath. On Wednesday afternoon Police-sergeant Jones, of the Neath Borough Police, arrested two men upon suspicion of their being con- cerned in picking pockets at the fair. One gave his name as Charles Jones and the other as William White. Both stated that they were horse dealers, and said that they had been staying at the Railway Coffee Tavern and Hotel, Cardiff, for the past three weeks. Jones is 36 and White 42 years old. The former is a native of Bristol, and the latter hails from Worcester.

At Newport Police-court on Wednesday William Hurley, 23, labourer, was committed to prison for two months, with bard labour, for stealing a cashbox, containing about P,20, two receipts, a pawn ticket, &c., the property of Edward Irvine, of the Steam Packet Tavern. On Tuesday evening at the board schools, Abercarn, Mr. Ned Morgan, a local journalist, was presented with a purse of gold and several volumes of books, subscribed by his numerous friends in the district, as a token of respect and the esteem in which he is held. i(,

I Notes from London. o ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. The Bye-Eiections— Representation of Chatham—Kearley's Resignation- Eight Hours Day. Neither of the pollings that will take place to-morrow is likely to yield the Unionists a seat. Berwick is the more favourably disposed, but it is not likely to 'I pass out of Gladstonian hands. As nearly as I can calculate, the Gladstonian majority will be between 300 and 400, or about half what it was at the last election. That is based on the supposition that the Glad- stonians will do about as well as in 1892. The Unionists certainly will improve their poll. If it should happen that any con- siderable number of Gladstoniam; vote against the party candidate or even abstain, they will win the seat. This triumph is not, however, likely. It is probable that the Gladstonians will keep the seat with a majority not exceeding 400. Montgomery- shire is even more uncertain, but there, also, the capture of the seat by the Unionists would be an agreeable surprise. j REPRESENTATION OF CHATHAM. A report put about the clubs this afternoon that Colonel Loyd, the member for Chatham, k was about to follow the example of the j Radical Mr. Kearley and withdraw at the j general election is certainly inaccurate. It « has, apparently, been founded on a private remark of Colonel Loyd's, that if a suitable candidate were available he would withdraw. He is, however, going to remain at his post, and he will certainly be re-elected, for the dockyard towns are going' to hatch out very badly for the Gladstonians at the general election. They were gained by unblushing bribery—that is, the bribery of promising benefits and advantages to the Govern- ment workmen — and they will be lost because of the impossibility of fulfilling the promises. The Tory Govern- ment could have kept the dockyard vote by adding £25,000 a year to the wages sheets. But the Tories preferred to be firm and lose the seats, which they did at Devon port, Portsmouth, and Pembroke. Chatham re- mained solid, though Sir John Gorst was so doubtful of it that he did not wait to try his chances of re-election. Mg. KEAKLET'S RESIGNATION. The dockyard men have been bitterly dis- appointed. Mr. Kearley will resign because of the commotion that is created among his deluded constituents. He has received thousands of letters in a week. This is more than he can stand, especially since he has gone so far in the House as to move a reso- lution which Mr. John Burns would have voted against had it been put. THE EIGHT HOURS DAY. It is no surprise to me to hear that the eight hours day has thoroughly disgusted the dockyard men. Men who had been used to work seven and a half hours now have to put in eight. Holidays are abolished, and, instead of being allowed to work extra time to make up for holidays, they have to lose time. A significant illustration of the disastrous effect of the eight hours day was shown at the Easter manoeuvres this week. A regiment of Kentish Artillery went out about half its usual strength, and it was explained that this was owing to the adop- tion of the eight hours day in the Govern- ment establishments, from which the regi- ment is mainly recruited. HAWICK AND LEITH. The success of Mr. Thomas Shaw in in- creasing his majority in the Hawick Burghs agrees with Unionist anticipations. Mr. Shaw's strong individuality and the peculiarity of his position won him personal support such as no political enthusiasm could overcome. He is a self-made man, and one of the best type of the hardy Scotch intel- lectual activity that has carried many of his countrymen to fortune and fame. He was the son of a baker, and supported himself by working as a clerk while he passed his uni- versity course. Ho is so popular that men call him Tom Shaw. That is the real secret of his success in Hawick. Tom Shaw has won the seat, not Mr. Thomas Shaw. He has increased his majority by 282, and this reduces the net gain on the two Scotch elections. On the two elections the Unionists have polled 514 more votes than they did in 1886 and the Gladstonians 284 more, leaving a net Unionist gain of 230. ANTI-PAUXNELLITE DISRUPTION IMMINENT. A volcanic split-up among' the Anti- Parnellites ,may happen at any moment. The exchange of language between Mr. William O'Brien and Mr. Vesey Knox at Cork and the ructions at the Freeman meet- ing yesterday and to-day between the fac- tions led by Mr. Tim Healy and Mr. Dillon are but rumblings of the coming storm. CAUSE AND EFFECT. The resignation of Mr. Gladstone has had at least one good result in Ireland. Directly the late Prime Minister's retirement became an established fact the tenantry of Lord Cloncurry at Murroe, County Limerick, endeavoured to effect a settlement with their landlord. They were evicted in April, 1882, and ever since have been living in huts on the doles of the Land League and its various apostolic successors, though some of the tenants ultimately found a refuge in the workhouse. Thirty-seven altogether were evicted, but twelve ultimately settled with Lord Cloncurry. The farms, in the mean- time, have been successfully stocked and worked by the Land Corporation of Ireland, the association which was founded fourteen years ago by tho late Mr. Kavanagh to fight the Land League. It is said that the evicted tenants are now so anxious to get back to their farms that several of them have already been re- admitted at their old rent, and with the taxes hitherto paid by the landlord added. If Mr. Gladstone would only emulate the example of a great British tenor and take a few more farewells, a happy solution would probably be found for the difficulty in which Mr. Morley now finds himself in regard to the evicted tenants. MEDICAT, RELIEF. When I mentioned the other day that in their Reform and Registration Bill the Government were going to abolish the dis- qualification of medical relief I repeated j information that was given me from a usually well-informed Gladstenian source. It J appears, however, that as regards Parliamen- < tary and municipal elections, the disqualifi- ] cation of medical relief was abolished in a Bill passed by the Tory Government in 1885. i In the division on the second reading 270 voted for and twenty against the Bill. Among > the twenty were such well-known Liberals as Mr. James Bryce, a member of the pre- sent Cabinet, and Mr. Munro Ferguson, the elect of Leith. It is, therefore, not with ( the disqualification as affecting Parliamen- tary or municipal elections that the Govern- j ment propose to interfere. Their attention j has been directed to the disqualification ] of persons who have received medical ( relief as regards voting for election of 1 guardians of the poor or members of parochial boards. The disqualification in 1 these eases was expressly reserved by the] Act of 1885. But the Local Government 1 Act ef the present year would seem to allow persons receiving medical relief to vote for guardians, inasmuch as the Parliamentary and municipal register which qualifies them is to be used for the election of the new 1 local bodies created under Mr. Secretary Fowler's Act. There is, undoubtedly, some 1 confusion on the point, and the Government < had proposed to deal with it in their f&rth- 1 coming Bill. THE HAYMABKET PRODUCTION. Once Upon a Time." which was pro- ] duced to-night at the Haymnrket Theatre, is an adaptation by Messrs. Beerbohm Tree < and Louis L. Parker of Ludwig Fulda's play, Der Talisman." When produced in Ger- i many the piece caused immense sensation. 1 But, although it is likely to have a big career ( on this side, there is not the local interest here to create the same effect as in its native i land. There the work was accepted as a I ( satire upon the self-confidence of the Ger- ] man Emperor. To in some degree impart [ more local colouring, the adapters have c deviated from the original, and with great 1 success. Even the Lyceum productions have not been so costly as is this representation. a Magnificently staged and admirably acted, Mr. Tree should have little cause of com- plaint against the support it will receive. ] — 1

Festiniog parishioners at a vestry duly con- vened have decided to print the Parish Councils Bill in Welsh. It will take Professor Ithyg or "Idriswyn" to understand it. Bishop Lewis called on his ailing dean in London on Tuesday. The Countess of Airlie, Lady Leighton, Lady Colebrooke, Lord and Lady Maenaghten, and Mr. Justice Collins alio called. So small was the attendance at the time for beginning the Cardiff Emanee Committee meeting on Wednesday that Mr. S. A. Brain suggested that the reporters should be pressed into service. Someone has given a new turn to our state- ment that Dr. Gomer Lewis had baptised 1,500 people and buried 2,000. From this it is inferred that Dr. Lewis is better known in Heaven than on earth. This paragraph is for the benefit of Cardiff 'bus, tram, and cab drivers. Wear your badges in a conspicuous position, for just at present the police are looking- up those drivers who keep them in their pocket, &c. Witnessing- a ball at Llanboidy on Monday night, and noticing, for the first time in her life, boys and girls dancing tog-ether, a pious old lady held up her hands in horror, and said. "Vt ell well how .soon the world goes wrong after Mr. Gladstone's retirement." Air. Evan Owen, of Tyssil Castle. Llandyssil, is said to be one of the best handwriters in the three kingdoms. After our London correspon- dent and Sir Arthur Stepney, Principal Owen is about the worst. Letters written by the dean and Sir Arthur years ago have nut been made out to this <la.y. Welshmen are in demand a* councillors and safe compaJ1 ions, The Princess Kauilani of Hawaii ha-s for guardian Mr. Theophilus Henry Davies, and we will bet our night porter against a small bottle of Bass thai such a name as that was never built up any- where eXc8pt in Wales. A working men's club which spends nearly £200 a year on furthering political principles is 110 hypocrisy. The Cardiff Conservative Working Men's Club does this, and more, and the meeting it has organised for workmen at the Park-hall to-night will show something of the political vigour and activity which animates the institution. One of the committees of the Cardiff Corpora- tion has accepted a tender for the supply of boots to the officials at 19s. per pair. This price Alderman Rees considers exorbitant, and no wonder, for he talks of getting the best boots that can be had in town for 16s. per pair. Well, we would think twice before refusing' to become a shoemaker if we received 19s, fat every pair of 8hoes we could turn out. Dame Wales is one of the figures in ''Punch's* cartoon this week. Sir William. Harcourt, aw stage manager, is arranging a tableau, The United Kingdom." The figures in the tableau are Miss Erin, John Bull, Scotland, and Dame Wales. Erin is standing too much in advance of the other three, and the stage manager cries out, Before we ring up-a leetle further back, my dear." Miss Erin looks indignant at the request. Sep¡1ratist orators up Dowlais way are trying desperately hard to get a share of the fame attached to the memory of Cicero and Demos- thenes. At the meeting on Tuesday evening one of them waxed indignantly eloquent about the House of Lords and things, and said, "They don't care nothin' for no workin' fellows. If they had their way, we could go all to Heaven before we died out for what they do care." And even the gas jets danced with glee. Let those who affect a belief that the Con- servative working man is non-existent turn up a,t the Park-liall, Cardiff, to-night. Sir John Gorst is one of the most honest and useful friends the workman has ever had, and, lli3 h9 always lias something to say that is worth hearing, the class he champions spring, summer, autumn, and winter will be there in force. With two orators like Sir John and Mr. Maclean to speak, it is not surprising that a successful meeting i" expected. By the retire-men i of tho Hon. George Kenyon the House of Commons will lose (sn.ys the "St. James s Gazette") a personality of some mark. He has sat as a Conservative for the Denbigh District since. 1885; but he has always seemed to be on the best of terras with the Radical Welsh members, and in most of his speeches and in some of his votes he ha* certainly gone a, long way to conciliate Welsh sentiment. A curious humour, combined with an emphatic manner, made his interventions in debate acceptable to the House. Mr. Joseph Bennett, who will be in CardJS to-night, agrees with Mr. Ffrangcon Davies ift Adopting a high standard for musical degreft in the Welsh University. "I should," vritee Mr. Davies, M.A., reward the thoughtful musician as I would reward the thoughtful philologist or Greek versifier." But he adder, "Personally, I am no great believer in degrees. Let the graduate 01' 8cholar produce something ir do something, and then I will consent. to regard his degree." "Exactly," exclaims 1\Ir.. Bennett. By their works ye shall know :hOll!. Wales was always famous for its burial -squabbles (says the "South Wales Daily Post"). As far back as the fifth century there was a hot dispute over the dead body of Teilo, rhe Welsh saint and founder of LIsuidaff. Hi* iisoiplee could not agree as to its burial place. Some said it should be interred a,t- Llandilo Fawr; others stuck for Penally, n Pembrokeshire; and others again contended For LLtlldaff. At length they held a prayer meeting for guidance in the matter. At the .•lose of the meeting, lo, and behold! there wers "hree corpses in the room, each so exactly like the other that tha.t which had been the saint'a rerv botly no one could tell. Rejoicingly each party bore a corpse away and buried it in th8 place for which they had contended. When General Booth was travelling down to South Wales in a first-class carriage last tv 'ek he happened to have as his companions i 'well-known colliery proprietor and a friend, joth of whom were enjoying cigars of the aest quality. After opening the window and showing in an unmistakable way his detes- tation of tobacco the General took advantage Jf the occasion to preach a brief homily to lis co-travellers. "How much better it would ae," ,said he. "if you gentlemen instead of wasting money on shilling cigars gave it to he poor." The colliery manager, who recog- nised the General, and had enjoyed his un. iasiness ll1 ttw presence of tobacco-smoke, re- rorted :—"There's something in that, but lon't you think, General, that if you. who iwse AS a philanthropist, weTe to ride third-"l.L:.4J .nstoad of first, and give the poor the different* n the fare, rou might do some good ?"
