Mrs. Martha Owen, of 22, Cross-street, Dow- lais, applied to the Merthyr magistrates on Wednesday for assistance in endeavouring te discover the whereabouts of her child, William James Owen, aged eleven, who had been missing from home since the 19th inst. She said that the boy left the house at 8.30 on the morning of the date mentioned with the ostensible intention of going to ,chool, and it was afterwards found that he had taken away his best clothes, and pawned them at the shop of Mr. Joseph Harpnr. The stipendiary referred the applicant to the members of the press. The child has light hair and dark eyes, and when he disappeared he was wearing a dark plaid cloth coat, corduroy knickerbockers, a dark cap, and brown woollen stockings.

BRISTOL THEATRE ROBBED. Thieves are Smartiy Captured by Cardiff Detectives. An exceptionally smart capture was made by I Detectives Stephens and Davey, of the Cardiff Police-force, on Wednesday morning. The officers were at the Great Western Railway Station meeting the ten o'clock train from Bristol, when they noticed two men carrying bundles and who seemed to be acting rather suspiciously. They followed, and took the men into custody and escorted them to the Central Police-station. There they gave the names of John Blake and Thomas Smith, and said they were Bristol men, who had come to Cardiff to find work. Their bundles, they averred, con- tained their working clothes. On being searched, one man was found to be wearing a couple of pairs of trousers, in the pockets of which were seme stage trinkets. &c., whilst both bundles contained a varied assortment of ladies' clothes and new boots. The Bristol police were telephoned to, but had not received a report as to the loss of the property described, but the men were detained, and about an hour later a, message was received from Bristol to the effect that the Old Theatre, King's-road, had been broken into during the night, and the articles found on the men taken away. Later in the day the Bristol police received the prisoners, who will be taken before the magistrates in due course.

RETURN TICKETS. An Important Private Bill Introduced in Parliament. A Bill has been prepared and brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Alpheus Morton. Mr. Bousfield, Mr. John Burns, Dr. Clark, Sir John Leng, Mr. Lloyd Morgan, Mr. Picton, Mr. Provand, Sir Albert Rollit, and Dr. Tanner for the purpose of enabling- passengers in railway trains and on steamboats, &c., to make use of return tickets at any time after the date of issue. The Bill, which is a short one, enacts that (1) this Act may be cited for all purposes as the Railways and Steamboats Return Tickets Act, 1894 and (2) from and after a date to be fixed by of the Beard of Trade, and sub- ject to such exceptions, if any, as may be allowed by such order, every passenger ticket issued within the United Kingdom by any railway company or by any steamboat company or pro- prietor running boats in connection with railway trains for a return journey by such trains or boats shall be available at any time after the date of issue.

GALLANT SWANSEA BOY. He Rescues a Drowning Lad at Rosario Harbour. News has jui»t reached Swansea of the gallant conduct of Charles S. Whyatt, second ma.te of the barque Foxhound. It appears that whilst the Foxhound was being loaded at Rosario, for Swansea, a little boy fell into the dock, when young Whyatt nobly dashed after him, and after considerable difficulty, when both their lives were endangered, he succeeded in rescuing the drowning lad. Whyatt deserves every praise fer the true British pluck he displayed. ■MMlantnaiMBaMBnni

IN BARRY ROADS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS.' Sir,—Surely, the fate of the Vanduara must re-call that of the gallant four-master, the Drumblair, which blew ashore on the rocks at Sully Point a few years ago. In this case also it was reported that she "dragged her anrho s in Barry Roads." The fact is, "Barry Roads" is a misnomer. Until the influence of mighty capitalists dubbed it "Barry Roads," thus in- timating that vessels might ride at anchor there safely, no seaman who knew this coast would have anchored a little ketch in such an unsafe ground, and now, forsooth, to bolster up the Barrv Dock and Railway, there are Barry pilots who run the risk of losing human lives and thousands of pounds of underwriters' money by anchoring-big vessels m Barry's so- called "roads." How many vessels which drag their anchors there are saved in the nick of time, I wonder?—I am. &c., GALL A SPADE A SPADE.

SUNDAY GOLFING AT PENARTH Father D'Huist of Barry Champions the New Movement. Pareemag in the "Evening Express" on Wednesday that some of the. Sunday golf- players at Penarth were described to be Roman Cthaolics. aud indulged in the game after attending morning service, a reporter of the Evening Express called upon the Rev. Father Em. D Hulst, the new clergyman of the Barry Dock Roman Catholic Church, at the Presbytery, Cadoxton. during the day for the purpose of ascertaining his views with rep-ard to the new Sunday move- ment. In the course of conversation. lather D'Hulst, who is a native of Belgium, and, therefore, fully accustomed to Continental life, said he would be sorry to encourage indulgence in anything that was bad on the Lord's Day, but who was to determine what was good and what was bad? Who was to say whether goif- playing and such innocent games were sinful or not on the Sabbath? Personally, lie saw no harm whatever in games of the kind, whether played on week days or on Sunday. The gfcftJlemeii a I'enarth attended Draue Servicc in the morning, and lie certainly questioned the right of a few individuals to set themselves up as censors, and to say that it was a sin to indulge in a game of golf on Sunday afternoon. He (Father D'Hulst) was, no doubt, imbued to some extent with Continental customs, but he very much doubted the courage of those who ventured to say the Continental conscience was altogether bad so far as the observance of the Sabbath was concerned, and that the English conscience was altogether good. At the same time, he would not care to introduce practices into this country which were contrary to the customs of the people.

TO-NIGHT'S MASS MEETING. The Address by Sir John Gorst at Cardiff Park-hall. Sir John E. Gorst, M.P., who will address a mass meeting of working men to-night (Thurs- day) at the Park-hall, will arrive in Cardiff to-day (Thursday) at the Great Western Rail- way Station at 2.20 p.m. Sir John will imme- diately upon arrival drive to Rookwood, where he will be the guest of Sir E. S. Hill, M.P. The arrangements for to-night's meeting are now complete, and a successful gathering is assured. It should be borne in mind that the balcony will be strictly reserved for ladies; also that the entrance for platform ticket-holders will be from Park-lane. The doors will be open at seven o'clock, and from that hour until eight o'clock a programme of music will be rendered, Mr. G. F. Cole, F.C.O., presiding at the grand organ.

The "Connecting Link." SOMETHING VERY MUCH LIKE HERE. Landors Description of the Ugiy Hairy Ainus the Oldest Race in the Northern Hemsphere. Some mew light on the most primitive of primitive races in the northern "half of the earth has been given to the world by A. H. Savage Landor, an Englishman who made a visit to Hakodate, which is on the island of Yezo, and is the northern treaty pd". of the Japanese islands. There he found some queer specimens of semi-human kind known as the Hairy Ainu. The Ainus are probably the "lowest down" in the scale of humanity of any living race. Mr. Landor had hefurd that no solitary traveller oould poasibly make a feur of the island, but he suooeeded in doing 00, and gives some interesting ethnological facte in a narrative published by him entitled, "Alone with the Hairy Ainu." The Aiwa is described as 'having no similarity whatever to the Japanese and Chinese type of men The colour of the skin is Hght reddish-brown. The eye is particularly contrasted to the Mon- golian eye. having a similar form and setting to that, of North Europeans. The hairr skin is supposed to indicate a northern origin. The eyes are very impressive and show the emotions in all interesting way. Is adults ) AN AINU MAN. the hair is black, wavy, and inclined to form iarere curls. The emotions are ejepreseed by slight changes of posture or gesture, but iih-e Ainus do not care to show their feelings; they have no sense of shame, and even fear appears hardly known to them. Their history for the last 2,500 years is to a certain exteosi known. They were supposed at one tim.e ,t.c; have occupied the Japanese archipelagoes :axf to have been driven to Yezo, when they main- tained their independence until the ninth cen- tury. then becoming subject to Japan. Their neroenees gradually left them, and they as now among- the most peaoeable and submissive of the earth's inhabitants at Yezo. iheir number is estimated to be about 17,000. "Jibe women do most of the hard work, but the men when hunting can walk forty mile, a day with- out fatigue, although they usually prefer to ride, ponies being plentiful and of a good breed. In moving a load or heavy object the Ainus never push, but always pull towards them. They appear to use the feet and toes very freely to help their hands and fingers, and they readily employ their teeth, preferring to pull with the teeth than the hand when an unusually heavy haul is necessary. Their appearance struck .Mr. Landor as exactly like AN AIN-J WOMAN. the re-constructions of the primitive man of Northern Europe, and many of their move. ments re-called those of the anthropoid apes, which are the only creatures that have been thought of as the possible "connecting link" between men and their fellow animals of a lower grade. They are an extremely felthy people, both in their persons and huts. They seem to have an acute sense of smell, dis- tinguishing between the odour of an English- man and a Japanese, but oblivious to their own very marked perfume—an intensified form of the "peculiar odour of an uncleaned monkey's cage. The sense of touch is singularly de- fective. and even when the extremes are painful they cannot distinguish the sensation of heat from that of cold. Their hearing is very acute. They are small in stature, although larger that the Japanese. -=
