LEICESTER TOWN CLERKSHIP. The Deputy Town-clerk of Cardiff is a Candidate. It is a matter of sincere regret in Cardiff that Mr. F. C. Lloyd, the deputy town- clerk, is a candidate for the vacant town- clerkship of Leicester. This is, of course, a. selfish view to take of the matter, but Mr. Lloyd has only himself to blame for that. He is such an excellent- second to his chief, has so firm a grip on all the important and i.,niniportaiit matters connected with the town, and is withal so amiable in manner and sound in law, that the corporation would regard his departure as a. real loss. He has grown up in the municipal blilddngs, ES it wpre, and has thus gained an experience which must be of value to him always, and which has cer- tainly made him a safe guide, as his legal knowledge has made 'him a sound adviser whenever he has been called upon to act if) the absence of the town-clerk. The post for which Mr. Lloyd has applied is one of great importance, Leicester being a town as large as. if not rather larger than Cardiff; and set- ting aside all feelings except those of good- will towards Mr. Lloydi, the Cardiff public assuredly wish that he may be successful.

GREAT BICYCLE RIDE. Result of the "Pall Mall Gazette' Experiment. Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the test, the great relay ride to Edinburgh and back, carrying a "Pail Mall Gazette" dispatch, which Colonel Savile and the Catford Club conjointly organised, was brought on Saturday to a suc- cessful conclusion. With rain falling in torrents throughout the greater portion of the outward and homeward journeys alike, and with roads either heavy and slow or slippery and dangerous with slime, it is remarkable that the feat should have been accomplished with even an approxi- mation to the time as pre-arranged, yet the last pair of riders reached their destination— the "l'all Mall Gazette" office in Charing Cross- road-a,t 27 minutes past two on Saturday after- noon, exceeding the specified limit by less than two and a half hours. The journey into London wa,s no better than the preceding stages, and the riders had two heavy showers to face, each arriving a, mass of mud. The, entire journey, out and home, was 799J. miles in length, and WM accomplished, despite the awful weather, in 52h. 27mill, Too much praise can hardly be given to the riders who severally undertook the stages, for their pluck and resolution in making headway against every conceivable obstacle which wind, rain, and mud could place in their way. Colonel Savile must feel highly pleased with the result, and possibly the experi- ment may have practical sequences in the shape of greater utilisation of cyclists' aid on the part of the War Office, after the manner adopted by more than one foreign Power. DISPATCH TO EDINBURGH. The- following was the outward message from the editor of the "Pall Mall Gazette" to the Edinburgh representative of that journal: — "Please embrace and feed and refresh and welcome in every way the bearers of this dis- patch, and tell them how well they and their fellows of the relay riders of the Catford Cycling Club have ridden; and add the War Office will be a sadder fool than even it has been supposed if it does not take advantage of so good an example for national purposes." THE REPLY. The following was the reply:—"Edinburgh, August 17, 1894.-The cyclists arrived here at 12.42 p.m. on this date. They were bespattered with mud from head to heel, which accounts for their losing time by the way, owing to the heavy roads. Your instructions to welcome and refresh them were attended to, but we left over embracing till they should have washed themselves. The enterprise of private indi- viduals now, as on many former ooeasions, puts the lethargy of the War Office to shame, but red-tape officialism may, by-and-bye, learn the lesson which the Catford Club and the 'Pall Mall Gazette' are giving them."

TAUNTON LANDLORD'SOEATH. Was Found Wandering About the Rhondda Hills. During the latter end of Ia.st week informa- tion was given to the Rhondda, police of the disappearance of a man named John Cattle, the landlord of the Devonshire Arms', Taun-, ton. It appears that Cattle bad been on a visit to his son, who resides at Tonypandy, but on Monday he left, and nothing more was he>ard of him until Friday, when some colliers going to work saw a man, who WAS i afterwards identified as Cattle, barefoot and lialf-clad, jumpinar and running about the mountain side. Failing to capture him, they gave information to the police, and Police- constable Demaide, of BlaenrhondcK with: some difficulty, secured him and took'him to the Pontypridd Union Workhouse. Here the poor fellow, who was by this time suffer- ing greatly from numbness and exhaustion, succumbed on Saturday night.. It is lw-' lieved that the deceased had become demented.

"WESTERN MAIL" OUTING. A Pleasant Day Spent in the Forest of Dean. That delightful forest retreat, Speech Housq, Forest of Dean, was the locals selected for the annual wayzgoose of the Western Mail employes this year, and the weather being fine on Saturday—the day of the outing—a most enjoyable time was spent. The party, number- ing upwards of 60, left Cardiff by special carriage at 10.5 in the morning, and upon reaching Lyduey Junction were met by Mr. W. Vincent Lamb, the genial and courteous traffic superintendent of the Severn and Wye Railway, which has just been acquired by the Great Western and Midland Railway Companies, and will probably be extensively used in the course of a few years. Mr. Lamb had arranged a special trip for the company,and. by means of a. saloon carriage drawn by an engine provided for the occasion, enabled I them to inspect the scenery between Lydbrook and Sharpness Docks. Subsequently the special carriages were merged in the train for Speech House Road, and the party were subsequently I convoyed up the loop line to the Spruce Ride, I whence they stared on a. very pleasant walk through the forest to Speech House. From Lydney to Speech House Road Mr. John Davies, manager of the line, travelled with the company. Upon arriving at Speech House luncheon was served, and an adjournment was then ill lode to a field adjoining the hotel,where sports took place, Mr. E. H. Crafter (general manager of the Western Mail") acting as judge and Mr. T. O. Davies as starter. -The finals were as follow:— 120 Yards Flat Race Handicap.—1st prize, Canadian gold watch (tfiven by Mr. Phil Phillips, jeweller, of Cardiff), T. D. Richards (llyds) 2nd, breakfast cru.'t stand, J. O. Phillips (14yds); 3rd, pocket knife, E. Gilbert (9yds). Smoking' Bace.—1st prize, toast rack, A. H. Parker; 2nd, albert and seal, P. W. Morgan.

Simpson; 2nd, knife, J. Morris; 3rd, W. W. Anstey. At 6.30 a recherche dinner was served in the old Speech-hall by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Boyce, who, assisted by their son and daughter, made every effort to secure the com- fort and enjoyment of their guests. After dinner a short toast list was gone through, Alr. E. H. Crafter presiding and Mr. E. W. Morris (chief sub-editor) occupying the vice-chair. The usual loyal toasts having been duly honoured, Mr. W. E. Morgan in felicitous terms proposed The Health of the Proprietors of the "Western Mail.—Mr. E. H. Crafier, in re- sponding, apologised for the unavoidable absence of Mr. Lascelles Carr and Mr. J. M. Maclean.— Mr. Latimer Jonea submitted the toast of The Literary, Commercial, aijd Mechanical Depart- ments," the responders being respectively Mr. E. W. Morris, Mr. Wozencroft (for Mr. D. W. Thomas, secretary to Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co., who was unable to be present), and Mr. J. O. Phillips. Other toasts followed. Songs were sung by Messrs. J. R. Long, J. T. Bickley, C. W. Brookes, I. Arnott, F. Wakley, and W. E. Morgan. Mr. Arnott accompanied. The return journey commenced at 9.10, Cardiff being reached at about 11.50. During the afternoon the party were photo- graphed by Mr. Walter H. Cox, photographer and portrait painter, 199, Bute-road. Cardiff. The stewards were Messrs. R. W. John, R. Y. M'Intyre, T. D. Richards, and E. Williams, who performed their duties with great success, while Mr. J. Wozencroft made a most ener- getic and painstaking hon. secretary and treasurer.

LONDON WELSH CHOIRS. Entertained by the Rev. Hartwell Jones. Upon the invitation of the vicar, the Rev. G. Hartwell Jones, formerly Latin professor in the University College of South Wales, the choirs attached to All Saints' and St, David's Churches took a trip on Thursday la^t to Nutfield, Surrey, where they were enter- tained to a sumptuous tea at the schools, fol- lowed by a promenade through the pleasure- grounds of the principal residents and a short Welsh service in the church. After subse- quently fortifying themselves with refresh- ments at the Yiearage the party walked back to the Redhill Station, for London. The weather was decidedly inauspicious, but while the skv was clearing up the members sang a few Welsh songs, which the ladies assisting at the entertainment appeared grefttly to appreciate. The party was accompanied by Hit. Rev. T. Crowle Ellis, chaplain of St. David's, and the Rev. D. T. Llewellyn, vicar of Beaufort, who undertakes the dut.- during this monith of chaplain to the Welsh Church of All Saints', Margaret-street.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET. Orders for CruYsers Given to British Shipbuilders. The launch of the Russian ironclad Admiral Sinyavin and the laying down of the keel of the oceaji cruiser Rossiya have again been postponed, this time to the end of the pre- sent month. Next spring the Russian Volunteer Fleet will be strengthened by the addition of three large cruisers, the Vladivostok, Kiev, and Vladimir, all of which will be built in English yards. Orders for the first-named vessel have been given to Messrs. Denny and Co., the well- known shipbuilders of Dumbarton, to whom the Russian Government give a great deal of their custom.

STRANGE DECEPTION. A Young Man Passes His Life as Woman. A Dalziel's Paris telegram on Saturday says: An extraordinary story of a young man passing as a girl all Ids life until a month or two ago is just related from Treecliatel, in the Alpine dis- trict. He was known by the name of Laura. Bernar, and came of a good family. Why his friends should have registered the child as a female, and subsequently kept up the deception, is a matter of mystery. The young man is said to have found the companionship of the weaker sex very pleasant, and he wuuld probably have continued to frequent the society of young women had he not fallen in love. In order to woo and win the lady of his choice he declared his r-roner sex. The earlier years of his life were spent in a convent school, on leaving which he studied a cure for stammering, and subse- quently founded a school for that purpose. This was so successful that in a few years he amassed 40,000 francs, and then decided to study medicine. With this object he was entered as a student at the Grenoble School of Medicine- as a. woman, and to all outward ap- pearances was one. His features were dis- tinctly feminine, and nothing in the shape of a moustache or whiskers was to be observed. In every way he comported himself as a female, and seemed quite at ease in the character he assumed. The only thing that might have hetrayed him, perhaps. was a slight suspici.-m of the masculine in his voice. This, however, was scarcely sufficient to attract special notice. For some weeks past the young man has been mar- ried, and as a husband he has already become acquainted with the hardships of the rougher sex, for, sad to relate, he is registered for mili- tary service in .1895.

A CORNISH DESPERADO. He Was Traced to Pembreke Dick and to Cardiff. Henry Pearce, of Mevagissev, who prides him- self on the name of "Sir Stafford Northeote," and who is a well-known character, was on Friday brought up at the Town-hall, St. Austell (before Sir <J. B. (T. Sawle and Mr. A. Coode), charged with assaulting Police-constable Rowe, of Meva- gissey, on the 23rd of June last.—Pnl ice-eon- stable Rowe stated that when he saw Pearce lie was very drunk and using bad language. Wit- ness went towards prisoner, who threw a. bucket of water and the bucket at him. Prisoner de- camped, and when witness followed he drew a knife from his pocket, saying "I will put it in your hHwt," Witness again endeavoured to apprehend him. Prisoner threw a. stone at him, and jumped over the quay into a boats in which he made his escape.—Prisoner denied the evidence, and said his family for generations had not had a knife. He was an Englishman, and could use his hands, and it was a good job for Mr. John Tremayne, of Heligan, that he was. Mevagissev people did not care about Sir Charles Sawle, but he (prisoner) did. and lie was willing to be tried by him. If lie was to be tried by lIir: Lakes, he would get, it.—After strongly reprimanding the prisoner, Sir Charles sen- tenced him to six weeks' hard labour.—Pearce was then charged with keeping a dog without a licence, and was fined 15s. and costs, or seven days. He preferred imprisonment.—Prisoner belongs to the Royal Naval Reserve, and his apprehension was effected through the efforts of Inspector Nicliolls, who traced him to Ply. mouth. thence to Pembroke Dock, then to Cardiff and Belfast, and eventually to Ports- mouth. where lie was apprehended.

FREEMASONRY IN WALES. Install-ation-of Lord Llangattockto Take Place at Cardiff. The preliminary arrangements for the forth- coming installation of Lord Llangattock as Provincial Grand Master for the Eastern Divi- sion of South Wales, in succession to the late Sir Geo. Elliot, Bart., are set forth in an adver- tisement elsewhere. The ceremony will be performed in Wood-street-hall, Cardiff, kindly lent for the occasion, on September 27, and, as ample accommodation is thus secured, ad- mission by ticket will not be necessary, and all brethren are cordially invited. After the installation a banquet will be held in the Park- hall, and applications for tickets should be made before September 13 to Bro. John Mun- ady, 1, High-street, Cardiff. Details of the arrangements will be published officially in the September number of the "Craftsman."

YACHTING. Another Match had to be Abandoned on Saturday. To the great disappointment of many ashore I and afloat who assembled to witness the pri- vate match between the Britannia and the Vigilant, off the Isle of Wight on Saturday, j the American cutter lost control of her centre- board at the starting point, through a defective chain, and the match could not be sailed. Lord Wolve,ton has withdrawn his offer of a floo cup trophy, and the fixture will now, probably, be finally abandoned. Among the notable per- sons who assembled to witness the race were the Prince of Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Lord Ashbnrton, &c. In proceeding to Southampton for examination in the dry dock the Vigilant grounded, but was towed off without having sustained damage.

Musn't Shake Handsl BAKU MEDICOS SAY 4 TJ SPREADS DISEASE. An Anti Society has been Formed there" but the Ladies are Up., inflevolt ■ The St. Petersburg correspondent of tlwi "Daily Telegraph" contributes an article de- scribing in a satirical and humorous vein- that doings of a society formed at Baku for the pur- pose of bringing about a cessation of the prao-; tice of handshaking. There was a meeting ot, burghers addressed by a physican upon the means by which disease is propagated:—"Is it. true, then," inquired a burgher, "that zhaking hands with one's friends is a dangerous prao: tice ?" "Dangerous is no name for it," replied the man of medicine; "it is criminal, suicidal.I Would you- take in your hand a,n unclean object teeming with cholera bacilli?" "No, aio," re-i plied the meeting unanimously, "not if wet knew it." "Very weH," concluded the scien- tist, "neither should you grasp any man's hand,; unless it has just been thoroughly disinfected.; For in this case you may have to-do not merely; with one kind of spores, but with a general assortment of them, which even the faculty is; powerless to grapple. Shaking hands should; be punished by law." Considering that Russian law has as yet made no suitable provision for, the crime in question, and, further, taking into, account the difficulty, amounting- to an impos-j sibility, of disinfecting every man's digits be-. fore entwining them in your own, the ingenious citizens of Baku at anoe devised a. third alter-, native, which is certain to meet the approval of the individualist school in England. No- body is compelled to shake or squeeze, or to- refuse to shake or squeeze, his neighbour's? hand by way of testifying his friendly feel- ings. But every person who respects science, and has a wholesome fear of bacilli, will, in Baku at least, 1* enabled to follow both these impulses by becoming an active member of the Anti-Shaking-Hands Society, which was founded by acclamation the moment th91 doctor's examination was completed. Each. member of the new society, which is open to persons of both sexes, pays a subscription of six roubles a year, in return for which he is entitled to wear a little badge in his button- hole, as a. sign and token that henceforth he will) never again shake the hand of his fellow man,, except by way of venting his vehement dis- pleasure. Once every two or three months the names of aft the members of* this hygienic association will be pub- lished in the local papers, a-long. -with a. t notice to the effect that their policy of "hands] off" is the result, not of moroseness or misam* j thropy, but of a disinterested low of cleanli-; ness and an implicit faith in science. Should a/iy member, through forgetfulness or fear of I displeasing a. powerful neighbour or patron, ( fall back upon the anti-hygienic ways of hiai unregenewtte youth, he will be itmlcted in the sum of three roubles. The utmost liberty hei may take in this direotion is limited to the, action described by the poet -"He laid his. hand upon the ocean's mane, and played faini-j liar with his hoary locks." The funds of thei society, formed by subscriptions and fines, are/ to be applied to support a. vigorous agitation,1 against hand-shaking under any circumstances; or pretext whatever, and in favour of a law to prohibit it under severe pains and penalties., The women of Baku—and not merely Baku,< but of all Russia—are, however, in revolt against the society. Says the "Telegraph. — The ladies, indeed, have just published their programme, and are determined to carry it through, or else to perish in the endea-vour. The whole movement, they maintain, is absurd and ridiculous, both in its origin and its methods. Are we or are we not, they per- tinently ask, to handle parasols, canes,: and umbrellas? Are we to put on our; boots and shoes by hand or by maohinerv ? May we take out our cam brio; pocket handkerchiefs, wave our fans, adjust, our hats, grasp our knifes and forks, and bring! our fingers in contact with our bread? Are we, to allow our maids to do up our hair? In what: is a soft, white, pretty little female hand-of which manv a. mate admirer often, wished him- self the glove--worse than the brass handle of; the door, which the Anti-shaking Hands: Society allows its members to grasp with im- punity? To make a. long story short, the: female citizens of Baku are resolved not to reste satisfied with mere arguments, to which the. male skull seems impervious. They are about to take up the cudgels in real ea.mest, and to oppose the new movement tooth and nail at, e-vory one of its stages, and, should all else fail,* to have recourse to arguments -ad. hominem. But a.11 wiil not fail, and the petition which they are said to have just forwarded to the: Governor-General, praying him to dissolve thel new society, may produce the wished-for result. If not, the ladies may console themselves wiiK; the reflection that the world beyond Baku if not in a mood to encourage the agitation of thai new reformers, and that shaking hands gmdi kissing, however humble their origin, are cer- tain to outlive the criticism and the opposition of the Anti-Shaking Hands Society.

STARVED TO DEATH. Sad Fate of a Prima Dona in Neyfi York. The Scottish vocalist and elocutionist prow fessionally known as Madame Osborne and\, privately as Mrs. George Poole has died under; cluodkinfg (iirotunstemeef in New York, Madame Osborne, who was a native of Maz, welltown, studied in London and Leipsic, and in her earlier years appeared with greet* success in opera, in Naples and Vienna. About ten years ago she was induced to go to New York, and there to marry. This Wq. the preface to her renouncing the stage. Mis- fortune appears, however, to have overtaken* her, and, too proud to beg, she went from bad to worse. Pupils at last failed her, and she was ejected from lodgings for non-payment' of rent. For two days and! nights she wan- dered about the streets of New York with nothing to eat., and without a roof to shelter her. Eventually she went to the house of some compatriots, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dick- son, where she was given food and a bed. The next morning the poor unfortunate woman was found; dead, the result of exhaug- tion from heat and starvation. It may be recollected that something very like the saiTrrf fate was accorded in New York to the eminent prima donna, Madame Ilma. di Murska, who was rescued from privation only to die.
