(FROM SOUTH IVALUS OAlLY NEWS, 9ftt JANUARY, 1894. "VERDICT OF NXNJI: HUHUKBB" Under this title Messrs R. J. Heath aud Sous, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposiug array of testi- monials and Press opinions relatiug to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The iirm is so well known in Cardiff and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England that ic is h'irdly necessary here t- well upon its iitfluence.Lilli commanding position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the iustrnmellt.8 furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, iua sense bovr steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasinfflr numerous, even in the homes of the workinsr ciasses are mauos. ortrans, an«t harmoniums. The erea t, majority of the letters iu this list relate to pianos ana while laauv of them have reference 1,<) most costlv instruments containing all the latest improve- ments. supplied to the well to-do, the greater num- ber related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the I community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though in I the Principality music has for fenerations been the chief rec.rea.tion of the peojde, it has for the most. part been ch oral music in connection with churches 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 ouward. These testimonials have been re- ceived from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, aud other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments. R. J. T- t 'FiA.T.Ff AND Soss INVITE INSPECTION. FULL LUSTRA TED LISTS AND VERDICT POST FREE.

Wales and Welshmen. GOSSIP AND CHATTER OF THE' PRINCIPALITY, Notes and News of Persons and Places Gathered from All Over Old Gwaiia. Lord Grantley is one of the numerous guests now staying with General Rawlins at Brynog, OarclVg'anshire. One of the municipal candidates at Carmar- then announces that the burning question is the water question. I Lord Derby and Lord Wol&eley have visited: Barry during the past week or two. Both left coal-laden for foreign ports. Mr. Cadwgan Jenkins, son of General Jenkins, Penrallt, Cardigan, is on a. visit hrJlne from South Africa. A Monmouth shire detective went out in search 01 a thief and returned home minus his watch, which had been "lifted." Some lflbohvevous persons have been blacking over the Empire and New Theatre bills at Swansea. The matter is in the hands of the police. On Monday evening a horse and cart were sua- denly jtreoipitated over the sea wall near to the South Dock entrance at Swansea. The horse swam the river and was uninjured. Probably the only Welsh minister who has given his name to a London street is Ossian Davies. There is an Ossiaji-street m the neigh- bourhood in which lie ministered in the Metro- polis. A Llangennech wife who his been to a gipsy to have her fortune told now keeps her sleeves roiled up for the row which be fortune-teller said she would have with her husband. The late Mr. C. Marshall Griffith, Q.C.. was au authority on the land question. A sliott time ago he published his views on the sub- ieci 111 a small pamphlet, which was reviewed in the "Western Mail." Ghosts this year are putting in an earlhr appearance than usual. At Dinas Cross, in Pembrokeshire, there prevails most inter.be sujjerstitious fear of an apparition which is sa:d to haunt the neighbourhood. l'outardulads is a small village and is always advertised as quiet. Last Saturday we counted three peniiy-gaifs, a cheap Jack, a political meeting, Chrktv Minstrels, and an eisteddfod, not to mention a coursing match. Wales is not the only country in which "Caru yn-y gwely''—"Honi soit qui mal y pense"- obtains favour. We read yesterday in the Shet- land breach of promise case that the custom is as orthodox in those islands as it is in Car- diganshire or Anglesey. A young Swansea man the other evening was seen dividing an orange between three or four young ladiesv One of them thoughtfully re- marked, "You a.re robbing yourself, Johnny." "Not at all," replied the innocent, "I have three or four more in my pocket." The man who wrote the gory tombstone story for the "Million." sends to say that the stone is to be found in the Cadoxton- iuxt-a-Xeath Churchyard and not at Carmar- then. Readers will kindly consider the tombstone taken back to its proper place. A n educationalist at Swansea is credited with making this speech during an election "Mr. Chairman, gentlemen, and ladies, what we require is our requirement's. (Hear, hear.) Yes, Mr. Chairman, our requirements is what we require." (Loud applause, during which the speaker resumed his seat). On his way to a chapel where he was to preach "Sieneyn Penhydd" called at a. public- hot-,se for a mug of ale- The house was situated on the bank of a river, and the ale was very weak. "What is the name of this river?" a^ked Shenkyn, then. after taking a sip of the beer, he added, "Never mind, I have it on my tongue." Monsieur Riviere, the some time famous conductor at Covent Garden Theatre, was amongst the audience which thronged the Vic- toria Palace at Llandudno on the occasion of the visit of the Welsh Ladies' Choir. At the close of the concert the venerable musician said that he had not enjoyed such excellent singing for many years. Election addresses are pretty varied in character, but one of the candidates at Car- marthen has struck an original idea. His placard is the usual size, the top lines are the same, and the signature and imprint show DO new departure. But the body of the address is simplicity itself. Here is the docu- ment in full:—"Here we are again.-Yours obediently, D. E. Williams." To morrow will be the thirty-ninth anniversary of the celebrated charge of the Lftrht Brigade at Balaclava. Lord Tredegar, who is one of the few now surviving of the "noble six hundred," will dine with his brother veterans in London, but the servants and tenantry on the estate will have their usual dinners at various com- fortable inns in the district all the same. We really must deplore the spirit of rivalry that obtrudes itself whenever a reference is made in this column to cuckoo* aud goose- berries and early asparagus. This is the latest"The huge pumpkin exhibited at a harvest festival at Tondu the other day has been beaten by one exhibited at St. Barnabas' Church. Waunarlwydd, on Sunday and Monday 1a.4, which measures 27in. in length, and 304-in. in circumference-" Mr. Marchant Williams's book on the Welsh M.P.'s has disappointed a great many people because it is so exceedingly fair to all con- cerned. Mr. Bryn Roberts a. few days ago said that, he had not yet- seen the book, but he had been informed that it was not anything as bitter as it was expected to be. "Pryderi ap Pwyle" (as the "Geninen" calls the sporting deacon who represents South Carnarvon) has a fine turn of sarcasm. Local patriotism is of strong growth in Mr. W. H. Preece, C.B., F.R.S., chief elec- trical engineer to the General Post Off.ce. On Monday night he read an important pzilwi, to a chapel literary class in Carnarvon. Mr. Preece is one of the busiest men in the coun- trv. but the fact that lie is a, Carnarvon man will explain his travelling from London to a fur corner in Wales to attend a meeting o; a sniiill improvement class. Englishmen- are often heard complaining of the, length of Welsh words. Here are some English stacrsrerers —Philoprogenitiv^eness, inicoiimrehpivsiblenci^s, d;isprorx>Ttion.ablenesR, tr»n«ubsiantiona;Menea% ai»Kconst:tutiona-li?t. honourifibinterdiuity, velceiped os tria,?i i tiea 1, aud proantionsubstantionist. if it weren't for our promise to desist, we would work in here the Welsh snake, Llaufairmvllgwyn- gyl Iv di'w v rndrobwllli a ntvsi 1 iogogi^goch Once upon a time a snake met a frog, and they had words, and from having words thev ouarrelled, and from quarrelling they fought in much madness, and the frog got hold of the snake's tail and began eating with much voraciousness, and thp suake, also trettitirr hold of the fro? from Isehind, was soon bu-ily dining. The two creatures steadily went on eating and 1"vmllowi;ug-, and ill the end there was nothinsr left to show that either had existed. And now history repeats itself, in that the snake is the Wel-h T.i'beral Federation and the frog is "Cymru Fvdd." Sutherland's Liberal candidate. Mr. John Macleod, lived a part of his life in Wales, where he was associated with Mr. Pritchard Morgan in his fold mining operations. He is described by the "Morning Leader" as a remarkably fine young fellow, not yet 31. and possessed bv a. fine mental virility. As a lad he studied chemistry and mineralotry at Glasgow, going thp-nce. from Sutherland.hire, arid afterwards worked for some years in the laboratory of the Tharsis Sulphur and Copper Company. He takes a warm interest in the crofters and is a splendid orator. The Welsh Ladies' Chair narrowly missed the honour of performing before Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone last. Thursday. During his visit to Llandudno the ex-Premier was waited upon bv several local gentlemen, amonsrst whom was the Rev. J. Spinther James. The latter inci- dentally mentioned the fact that the Welsh ladies were about to visit the town, and Mr. Gladstone expressed a warm desire to witness the performance of the choir, of which he had- heard so much. After some conversation the G.O.M. said he would go to the concert unless some unforeseen event prevented him. Un- fortunately, the unforeseen happened. He was called away from North Wales on the Thurs- day afternoon. The Welsh Ladies' Choir met Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone on the platform at Llandudno Junction.

SIB,—As all Welsh visitors to the States are so royally received—especially if they are Welsh musicians—and a-s my young friend, Mr. Haydn Evans, and his party, from America., give their farewell concert at Newport this (Wednesday) evening, I venture, through the generous I columns of the "Express," to express my hope that a. large and enthusiastic audience will do honour to this party, and reciprocate the same good feeling as is always shown by my fellow-conntrymen in America to all who visit there.

CARDIFF FREE LIBRARIES. Invitation to the Libraries' Assooiation to Visit the Town. A meeting of the Cardiff Free Libraries Com- mittee was held on Tussaay evening in the Cardiff Town-hall, Councillor Edward Thomas presiding.—Mr. Ballinger reported that the Libraries' Association, which bad been invited to Cardiff for the year 1395, and which had at th,t time refused the invitation on the ground tha.t the holding of a national conference for that year was under consideration, had com- municat-edwitb him that the proposed confe- rence ha.d fallen through, as the association, who would, of course, have been the principal supporters of the conference, were not able to send their delegates until 1896.—Mr. Ballinger thought they should thereupon re-invite the association to Cardiff for next year. He said that when tbe association was invited to a town it was usual for the authorities of the college to join the library authorities in the work. In order that the committee might have some information as to what action the Univer- sity College in Cardiff would take, he (Mr. Ballinger) had communicated with Principal Viriamu Jones on the subject. He had received a reply from the principal expressing the greatest sympathy with the library committee and in total accord with the undertaking.—It was resolved that the invitation be sent to the association to visit Cardiff next year, and that the college authorities and corporation be also asked to assist them in the movement. A num- ber of tenders for furnishing the new library were brought before the committee. They were as follows :—F. S. LOCK, Cardiff, £ 2,374 10s. 3d.; Taylor and Co.. Driffield, £ 2.124; H. M. Knight and Sons, Bath, £2,375 lls. 9d. Henry Bessell, Bristol, £ 2.230 4s. 4d. Trapnell and Gane, Cardiff, £ 2:596 14s. Turner and Sons, Cardiff, £ 1.849; Lewis and Lewis, Cardiff, £ 2,7019s. 2d. -It was resolved that Messrs. Turner and Sons' tender be accepted conditionally. —Councillor S. A. Brain thought the committee Rhould: congratula,te itself upon the success they had achieved in the new branch library at Splotlands. The rooms had been very largely frequented, and great satisfaction with the appointments of the buildings had been shown by the Solotfc people. —Mr. Ballinger sa.id he ha.d received a letter from the town-clerk stating that the annual j report must be ready for presentation to the council on November 19 next.—It was resolved that the chairmen of the various sub-committees and the chairman of tbe general committee, together with the librarian, be authorised to prepare the report and present it to a meet- ing1 of the general committee to be held on October 30.

WELSH CHURCH. The Disestablishment Bill for Next Session. The following important paragraph appears in the "World":—"Mr. Asiuith is haying rather an anxious time over the Welsh Di°M- tablishment Bill. If he had his own way he would be for re-introducing it in very ron"ll the same full-blooded form in which it appeared last session. But even he has had to bow to authority, and Mr. Gladstone is said to have counselled moderation in enforcing the Gospel of Spoliation, which at least is in agreement with some portion of the paragraphs last week which produced ,such contradictions in the Tuesday evening pa]>ers. Acix>rdingly, the Bill of next year is expected to be very much toned down, and to be assimilated to a great extent to the Irish Church scheme. Naturally this is not pleasing to Young Wales; but, though they will make as much noise as pos- sible, the Welsh Radicals will prove very thankful for what they can get"

CARDIFF'S LAW AGENTS. Late Representatives Ask for a Reason for the Transfer of Business. A meeting of the- Parliamentary Com- mittee of the Cardiff Corporation took place on Tuesday afternoon under the presidency of the mayor.—A long letter addressed to the tuwa-clerk was read from Messrs. Edwin Andrew and While, St; Clement's House, 27, St. Clement's lane, Lon- don, London agents of the corporation, dated October 22, 1884, acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Wheatlev's communication, of the 15th. instant in which he informed them that thei Parliamentary Committee of the corporation had resolved to recommend ether agents. To that appointment per se they had no right to object, nor to question the wisdom of the council in doing so, but they pom ted out that no suggestion had ever been made by the members of the corporation or anybody else that they had failed in any one instance in efficiently and economically carrying out the 'instructions they had received. For 30 voars and upwards they had admittedly car- ried on all branches of practice and agency to the satisfaction of their clients, whether public bodies or private persons. In their self-defence and in protection of their own professional credit, which hitherto had not only been unscathed, but unattached, they nere driven to ask the reason of the resolu- tton—The Mayor said he did not think it was rit-ces:;a>ry to go into the questions contained in the letter. They had fully considered the matter and had some to a decision.—Mr. E. Beavan thought that the reply of Mr. Wheatcley should be submitted to the commit- tee before being rent.-Alderman David Jones thought the committee should not give any reasons for the step taken.—Eventually it was decided that the matter should be dealt with by the council. mmmumnmammmmmmmm—mmmmmam*

ENTERPRISE AT CARDIFF. Spillers Nephews' Biscuit Factory to be Built at Once. We understand that at a meeting of the directors of Spillers Nephews' Biscuit Com- pany (Limited), held at their offices ou Mon- day, the tender of Messrs. W. Symonds and Co.. of Cardiff, for the erection of the new factory to be built in Moorland-road. Cardiff, was :WCo8pted. Thirteen tenders were received, ranging from £ 24,COO down to £19,b37, which was the amount of the accepted tender. We are informed by the architects, Messrs. Yea 11 and Saut, that the work is to be proceeded with at once, and that the contract now Jet to Messrs. Symonds and Co. comprises a com- plete set of buildings for carrying on a large and extensive business, in which several hun- 'o dred hands, including a large proportion of women, will be employed. It is anticipated the whole work will be completed in from tiina to twelve months if the coming winter is an open one. Architecturally, the new block of buildings will be of an imposing character, with a frontage of about 310ft. to Moorland-road and 150ft. to the Great Wes- tern Railway. Broad effects of colour will b9 secured by the use of buff and red pressed bricks and green slates. The fenestration has been carefully considered with a view to obtaining architectural effect and originality without any lavish display of ornament.

A CLERGYMAN ACCUSED OF PERJURY. The Rev. W. Fraser, rector of Offham, near Maidstone, was on Monday summoned before the Mailing Police-court on a charge of per- jury. The allegations were that defendant, whose affairs are in the Bankruptcy Court., ob- tained loans amounting to £ 100 from the Clerical and Medical Advance Bonk by making a declaration before a Commissioner for Oaths that his debts did not exceed JB120, whereas he owed Sir Edmund Elton upwards of £1.000. The declaration stated that, the furniture was worth £300, and this was afterwards sold for £ 28.—The accused was committed for trial. 4k

She further charged the estates to pay her husband's creditors, and, owng to land depreciation in Ireland, she new received no income from the property. The aocounts show a deficit of nearly £ 55.000—The meeting was adjourned.

About Damascus Blades HOW THEY ARE MADE AND TESTED. Manufacturers Consider the Weapon if Perfect when it has Cifianly Severed a Slave's Head. The "Berliner Tagblatt" of September 26 says :-Aclvioes received from Professor Von Eulenspiegel and party state that in delving among the ruins of ancient Tyre there has been unearthed what seems to have been the workshop of an ancient armourer or "waffen- sor, irndt," with a quantity of sword blades ia different stages of manufacture, though badly corroded. A copper cylinder with a close fitting cap was found among a pile of dry rotted wood, evidently th& remains of an arm-chest, the brass nails and copper bands of which had retained their original form. This cylinder contained a parchment inscribed in ancient Syriac characters and in a fair state of preservation. The professor, after months of close study, has pronounced it an extraor- dinary discovery—one calculated to cast much light upon, the heretofore mysteries of the ancient craft of weapon-making, giving in detail the methods followed in. making thf perfect Damascus blades. The manner ol tempering these blades when intended for a. ruler or an ofhoer of high rank was a-s follows:—"Let the high dignitary furnish in Ethiop of fair frame and let him be bound down, shoulders upwards, upon the block of the god Bal-hal, his arms fastened underneath, with thongs; a strap of goat skin over his back and wound twioe around the block; his feet close together, lashed to a, dowel of wood aini his head aud neck projecting over and beyond the end of the block. Then let the master workman, having cold hammered the blade to a smooth and thin edge, thrust it into the fire of cedar wood coals, in and out, the while reciting the prayer to the god Bal-hal, until the steel be of the colour of the red of the rising sun, when he comes up over the desert toward the East; and then. with a quick motion, pass the same from the heel thereof to the point, six times through the most fleshy portion of the slave's back and thighs, when it shall have become the colour of the purple of the King. Then, if with one swing and one stroke of the right arm of the master workman, it sever the head of the slave from his body, and display not nick nor crack along the edge, and the blade may be bent round about the body of a man and break not, it shall be accepted as a perfect weapon, sacred to the service of the £ "xl Bal-hal, and the owner thereof may thrust it into a scabbard of asses' skin, brazen with brass, and hung to a girdle of camels' wool dyed in the royal purple."

FOUND DEAD. Fatal Fall Over a Railway Bridge at Dowlais. A lad named Powell discovered on Mon- day evening the dead body of a man near » railway bridge in the vicinity of Pwllywhaid, which lie.? at the rear of the old Dowlais Works and opposite Penydanen. A branch line of railway, belonging to the Great Wes- tern and Rhymney Railway systems, connects the Dowlais Steelworks with the Taff -Bar- goed line at Cwmbargoed, and it is con- jectured that the unfortunate man was walk- ing along the line homewards, and that he by some means stumbled over the bridge in question to the roadway below, and thereby sustained injuries to which he suceumbaj. i* transpired that the body was that of Chutell Bradford, a boiler fireman at the South Tunnel Pit, and a lodger a.t the house of ■ Mr. Thomas Jones, near the Penvdarren Pit, Cwmbargoed, whither the body was Conveyed

SWANSEA DISTRICT'S M.P. Mr Headtey Comes Forward on Indepen dent Lines. Mr. E. Hall Headley, proprietor of a colliery in the neighbourhood of Swansea, who was one of1 the candidates presented for nomination at the i meeting of the Swansea District Liberal Asso- ciation at Iseatli on Saturday last, and whose iia-Ine was struck off the list of possible caadi. dates as the result of a ballot, lias issued a' placard stating that he will address the electors of the constituency at Neath, Skewen, and other plaoes in the division before the end of Decem- bar. This means that Mr. Headley has: decided not to recognise the decision of the, Lioeral Association, and that he will attempt t to secure the seat on independent lines. Mr., Headley has a strong supporter in the person of Mr. Isaac Evans, the miners' agent, who has promised him the support, of all the miners in the division. Mr. Headley is also very popular with the colliers. There is considerable con- sternation in the ranks of official Liberalism At this development of the situation.

GUN EXPERIMENTI. A New Weapon Tried at Milforef and Found Useless. The utmost possible secrecy has been observed (says the "World") with regard to the Zalinsky gun experiments at Dale Point, Milford Haven but yet sufficient details have leaked out to show tha.t the whole business was a failure. Just as was the opinion of American naval officers, so is that of British officers now. The experiments proved something more tttan the nselesotie.-ts of the weapon as a. torpedo-thrower. It was also conclusively demonstrated that the explosion of 2S01b. of gun cotton, eVefl so near a-s 50fh to the old Harpy's side, did the ship no manner of harm.

LADIES AND SHERIFF'S OFFICER. Mrs- Georgiana Griffiths, a lady livinjr in a larere house at Kinjrston-on-Thamos, and her daughter. Margaret Griffiths, aged sixteen, were remanded on bail at Kingston on Tnesday charged with threatening to murder a sheriff's officer. The allegation was that the accused, after ejecting a sheriff's officer and his assistant, held the situation subsequently with two empty revolvers. The sheriff's officer, however, suc- ceeded by stratagem in entering the house with eight men, when the ladies were overpowered and disarmed.
