Gathered from Gwalia NOTES AND NEWS OF WALES AND WELSHMEN. A Column of Pars of Persons and Places of Interest and Instruction to Old and Young. It is said that in Llanellv nine out of every ten clerks leave home in the morning with pipes ia their months. There are Conservative clubs in eight out of the ten wards in Cardiff. Park and. Adams- down are still to be attended to. The Calvinistic Methodists of Manchester have eh ape 1 property of the value of £ 30,000, and the debt remaining is under £ 6.000. Extremes often meat in the Welsh press. The only Welsh newspaper which publishes Bishop Hedley's recent pastoral Ie+ter is the "Baner." the most proaouncfdl/ Puritan of all Welsh journals. Mr. Dan Lewis, of Llanon, keeps a sharp eye on the signs of the times. He has just patented "an improvement in ploughs"—doubt- less. to enable the Government "to plough the sands of the seashore." It is not generally known that the railings of St. PaAil's Cathedral axe a specimen of the kind of old ironwork carried on in the Southern counties and in Wales before the use of coal was known ir. smelting the ore. The shires of Breoon. Radnor. and Mon- mouth were created in 1536, and six years after the counties of Denbigh and Montgomery were formed, as also were the counties of the boroughs of Haverfordwest and Carmarthen. Mr. Thomas, of Cork, k one of the delegates of the Royal Liver Society meetings in Cardiff. This Welshman from Cork (a correspondent suggest*!) is, perhaps, a relative of the Cardiff Wekh-Irishman, Councillor Thomas O'Cochfarf. A petition in favour of Welsh Disestablish- ment 'has at last reached the House of Com- mons. It was sent from Walworth and Wetfc Newington, and has 471 signatures. The record against the Bill is 2,463 petitions, with 577,882 signatures. Mr. oj""non Goldberg, who has just been made a magistrate for Swansea, is a ship- owner. He turned his attention to shipping some thirty years ago, and, finding no facilities for shipbuilding in Swansea, he built his firsa ship at Llanelly. In the valleys of the Cynon and the Dare, ano maybe in other portions of Glamorgan- shire, every tree is called a "derwen" (literally oak tree). The natives speak of "derwen fale" (apple oak), "derwen gnau" (nut oak), and so on through the whole list. The marriage arranged between Mr. George Rice Prvse, fifth so-i of Sir Pryse Pryse, Bart., of Gogerddan, Cardiganshire, and Miss G-eral- dine Mabel Abadam, younger daughter of the late Conrade Middleton Abadam, of Middleton Hall, Carmarthenshire, and of Mrs. RudmaJi, of The Norton, Tenby, will take place on the 12th of June. Welsh contains many words which are mere fossils of the early stage of civilisation reached by the Ancien't Britons. One of them is bwyell—a word which in oourse of centuries has been polished down from pwyoellt, the name by which am Ancient Britisher called his flint hammer or axe. The New Woman is crowding us out. The lady footballer has been followed by the lady "bookie." She was at the Carmarthen Point- to-Point Races on Friday. If we were given to philosophising we would say that, by-and- bye, a new significance will be given to the ex- pression, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Welsh bards aitd preachora, have derived their iu«»Ks hma nestriy evt-ry object, but it is only in two cases that days of the week have done service in that way. One was that of Christmas Evans. who was born on Christ- mas Day, and the other is Sulgwyn Davies an Independent minister, born at Saron, Llan- geler, on a Whit-Sunday. Another massacre of the bards looms in the distance. The "Gwyliedydd" says that the majority of the two dozen bards to whom "Cad- van" appealed for their opinion on the compara- tive merits of his poem and that of the one whose author was chaired na.ve pronounced vi'»nimous!y in his favour and in condemnation of the adjudicators, th^ Rev. Ben Davies and "Alafon." "Good gracious! when did Baron de Worms come down? What's he doing in this neigh- bourhood ?" asked Lord Wolmer of Mr. Maclean on the Church Defence platform at Cardiff on Thursday night. "De Worms ?" queried Mr. Maclean; "where is he?" "Isn't that the baron who winked at you just now ?" his lord- ship further queried. Mr. Maolean laughed, and said, "That's 'Morien,' the' 'Western Mail' Archdruid." Sir Watkin Williams Wynn did most things on a large soaile. His cousin Charlotte, writing of him to a friend, said, "My cousin is now come to Llaaigedwin. and has brought over nearly 200 hounds to hunt some wretched foxes which arA supposed to be in the woods. I proposed to him to take a gun and shoot them in order to save time. but he was quite horrified at the idea, so the whole valley has been disturbed this morning by the howling and screeching of these beasts, and the glorious result has been three little foxes, and he had to start at four in the morning!" It used to be a popular belief (says the "Daily Graphic") that the Welsh language was the language of Heaven, which is, perhaps, one of the reasons why so many persons show an rpparent willingness to spend their afterlife elsewhere. But, even if the angels talk Welsh, it does not follow that railway porters should be allowed to rely only on that medium of com- munication in their dealings with non-Celtic, and certainly non-celestial, Cockney or Lan- cashire tourists. In this month's "Dublin Review" there is an article by Mr. J. Hobson Matthews, of Cardiff, on "Welsh Church History by Non-Catholio Writers." This article is mainly a criticism of a recently published Church Defence- manual by the Vicar of Llanuwchllyn and of certain writings lately contributed to the ''Arohaeolo- gia Cambrensis" by Mr. Willis-Bund, F.S.A. Needless to say, Mr. Matthews will not allow that any but the Roman Catholic Church can b3 the real spiritual "Hen Fam" of the Welsh people. A Shropshire lady visiting Merionethshire a. century and a quarter ago gives a graphic picture of Bala, which had just passed through a severe scourge in the form of a fever. She describes the doctor of the place as follows: "What should I see on a bench at the ale- house door, with a pipe in his mouth, but their doctor, as fat as a pig, his face as red ais the "hung veal the woman offered me, his nose purple, his clothes, if well sold, not worth half a crown, and this was the man who had attended three hundred cases of a putrid fever, most of which I need not tell you dy'd." "Ginn," she adds, "was the drink there." This is how the Radical Potitypridd Chronicle" speaks of the Conservative agent in that district:—"Mr. James Jeffery oan evidently take care of himself as well as the party whose cause he espouses so well. For example when he seated himself in the Merthyr train at Ponty- pridd on Monday night a rough-looking fellow at once began to hurl insulting epithets at him, eventually following them up with a blow. In a trice the small but sturdily-built Conserve tive agent, who very properly bore it no longer, retaliated with such well-aimed and effective blows that the brute was soon in a state of utter collapse, much to the satisfaction of those who witnessed the incident." "Scorpion" (the late Rev. T. Roberts), Llan- rwst, was an easy-going man who seldom went to his oyhoeddiad. Once upon a time iie was prevailed, upon to promise to attend a qnb'terly meeting in Carnarvonshire, and in his reply he said he would be there if alive." The meet- ing caanlei but without "Scorpion." IV- brethren concluded he was dead, and rnut-s'ted "Hiraethog" (the Rev. Dr. W. R' os) to write bis epitaph, which he did as tollows:- Ow, "Scorpion," ddwyfion ddifri.-a. drengodd Drwy angeu o ddiogi, Bydd ormod ddydd y codi IV gael o'i fedd; goeliaf fi.

TEETOTAL PEDDLING- j TJStGENT NEED OF A TEMPE- RANCE REVIVAL. Temperance* reformers are realising it is time they started reforming Cardiff, and undoing, so to speak, some of the evil they have themselves produced by diverting the liquor traffic from legai channels into thiR homes of the working closes. A mating of those interested in, the temperance movement was held on Friday even- ing in tfra Grown Court of the 'ToveS-kail,-1 diff. The Rev. J. Morgan Jones occupied the chair. The meeting had bnen convened by the executive of the Cardiff and District Tempe- rance Federation, who, at a meeting heM in March last, had come to the conclusion that it was desirable to call a conference of temperanOt" workers to consider the best means of bringing about a gospel temperance revival in Cardiff. The conference was opened 'by Principal Edwards, D.D., who read a paper on The Urgent Need of a Gospel Temperance Revival in Cardiff, and the Best Means of Bringing It About." In the course of his remarks, the rev. principal alluded to the penalties imposed upon shebeeners, and voiced his opinion that nothing but good, wholesome imprisonment was any good for suoh LtW-breakers. But they would have to do much more than banish the shebeens and lock up the clubs before the evil was put down. The moral conscience of the public would have to be touched, and the Chris- tian Churches of Cardiff must do the work. There was no putting aside that fact. If they closed the public-houses and the clubs, they must provide something better for the people. They must not lay "themselves open to a charge of drinking water because there was nothing else for them to drink. The Chairman said it seemed to him that tlie Cardiff magistrates had taken upon themselves to criticise the Sunday Closing Act, instead of administering it. The meeting being subsequently thrown open for discussion. The Rev. John Pugh, of the Forward Move- ment, siaid the Churches must take a political stand. They had been "wiping up the slops long enough"; it was now time for them to "stop the tap." (Applause.) As long as they elected municipal representatives who were directly interested in the drink traffic, they would never succeed in their aim to stop drvnkenness. They needed policy. If they were represented by brewers they could do nothing. Personally, he felt ashamed—he did not mind who knew it—that he, living in Grange town, was represented by a brewer, and he, by God's help, mould do his best to "oust" him. (Applause.), The temperance question must be fought on the public streets. Workers would have to go into the dark corners of the tcwn. They would, in this way, do far more good than a conference ever did. Mr. Percy Thomas said he felt that the Churches of Cardiff had great resources, but did not use them. Mr. E. H. Davies thought something prac- tical ought to be done. He agreed with the Rev. John Pugh that the publicans ought to be ousted from the' Cardiff Municipal Coun- cil. There were men on the county council of Cardiff who were engaged in the terrible work of damning souls-he used that word advisedly. Mr. Collyer also thoroughly agreed with the Rev. John Pugh. His word of advice was Americanise Cardiff and preach them down before the public-houses. Some years ago two or three candidates for the school board met him and asked him for his vote. He agreed to support theim on extracting a promise from them that they would introduce into the schools a text-book on temperance. They promised him to do so, but the promise had never been fulfilled. As sure as his name was Collyer he would give them a promise, which was thait he would do his best to "kick them out" of the board at the next election. (Applause.) Councillor Thomas (" Coohfarf") sind that when, some years ago, the head-constable in- stituted proceedings against the proprietors of the Royal Hotel he (Mr. Thomas) brought the subject up in the watch committee, but there was no one to back him up. The Western Mail" gave him a column's slating, which he rather liked, as it strengthened his backbone." Speaking of clubs, he thought that these insti- tutions should be kept open the whole of Sun- day or closed altogether. As it was, a man got muddled" in the morning and then cajne home, a nuisance to his wife and family, and did not return to his club till six o'clock at night, when he became still more "muddled." This was not as it should be. The meeting ultimately got to business, with the result that, on the proposition of Dr. Edwards, seconded by 'Mr. Shepherd, the follow- ing three points were agreed upon, viz.:—(1) To recommend to all the Churches a week of united prayer; (2) that the conference be adjourned and called again during that week to consider further what should be done; and (3) that in the meantime a committee, consisting of the Temperance Federation Executive, should prepare an agenda for that conference.

FINANCES OF CARDIFF. CONSERVATIVE ATTACK ON THE RISING RATES. A meeting of the special committee appointed by the Cardiff Town Council to take into consideration the estimaite of expen- diture for the ensuing half-year was held at the borough treasurer's office on Friday afternoon. Mr. Johnston proposed that the mayor (Alderman P. W. Carey) take the chair, and 1ibt'r'W? unanimously ae?i*l--to.-—It- was tex- ulained that the chairman of each committee had not been communicated with. When the real business was commenced there were pre- sent, in addition to the mayor, Alderman David Jones, Councillors Riches, F. J. Beavan, H. White. W. J. Trounce (ex-mayor), George David, :md Robert Johnston. The only member of the spending departments out- side the special committee was Councillor Hughes, who, though receiving no official notice, thought it his duty to attend. The heads of departments were in full strength, among those present being, in addition to Mr. Greenhill (borough treasurer), Mr. Harpur (borough engineer), Dr. Walford (medical offioer), Mr. M'Kenzie (head-constable), Mr. Woosey (superintendent of the sanitaay depart- ment), and Mr. Pettigrew (head gardener) During an informal conversation it was dis- covered that there was a sort of juggling in finances, which the Mayor described as robbing Peter to pay Paul. The committee then con- sidered the estimate sent in by the public works committee. The first official "on toast" was the borough engineer, but even Mr. Harpur was not able to convince the "specialists" that certain things put down in the estimate were absolutely necessary. Items were taken one by one, the officials retiring quietly and discreetly before the attack of the "voung blood." Mr. Riches continued the advance, backed up by Mr. George David and Mr. Johnston, and Mr. Greenhill, with his excellent lieutenant (Mr. Lewis), found them- selves at bay-not by their own fault, by any means, but because they had carried out the instructions of the finance committee. Mr. F. J. Beavan, who threatened to leave the council and the finance committee because his actions were questioned, was the perfect lamb of the meeting. The result of the investigation was that £ 3,100 was struck out of the estimate. This is equal to a penny rate. It was found that the health committee had spent 92,000 beyond their estimate of the last half-year. The com- mittee will meet again this afternoon, when the rates, it is hoped, will still further be reduced.

CHURCR ACTIVITY. PROPOSED NEW BTJIIIDINGS AT NEWPORT. The Ven. W.

At the vestry meeting of St. John's, Newport (a chapel of ease of Si Woolos'), on Thursday evening, Mr. R. H. Johns referred to the proposal to build a new church for the upper portion of the parish of St. Woolos, and thought the time had now come when St. John's (which! was now only a temporary iron church) should be made a separate ecclesiastical purish.-In the course of the discussion which followed the Rev. J. F. Summers stated that they had been labouring on at St. John's for the past twenty years nearly with continued increased demand for further church accommodation, and said that, as a matter of fact, a sum of about £ 8.000—whioh in- cluded a donation of £5,000 by Mr. F. J. Mit- chell, of Llanfreclifa—was being held in abeyance (for what reason he could not say) for the pur- pose of further church provision, which could only be met by the creation of a new parish for St. John's.—Eventually, it was decided, on the proposition of Mr. G. R. Martyn, seconded by Mr. R. H. Johns, that the Rev. J. F. Summers, on behalf of the church and congre- gation of St. John's, communicate with Arch- deacon Bruce, and lay before him certain recom- mendations in regard to the proposed church Im extension.

About May Day Shows, a ■ I ■ m A CHAT WITH SUPERINTEN- DENT WOOSEY. He Tells of the Prospects of This Year's Parade and Special Features Arranged. In all probability, if Mr. Woosey, the ener. getic superintendant of the Cardiff Health De- partment, had not migrated from Liverpool to the Welsh Metropolis, the May Day Shows, which have been looked forward to with so much interest every year in Cardiff, would still be a thing of the future. With the object of ascertaining the results of holding the show, one) of our representatives on Wednesday even- ing called upon Mr. Woosey, who for the past thirteen years has been prime mover in bring- ing about the annual May Day Show. "Next Wednesday," said Mr. Woosey, "we hold the 13th show, but it is a far different thing to that with which we started in Cardiff. The first May Day Show that was held hem was very email and insignificant. I had been used to very la-rga parades in Liverpool and Manchester, but when I came to Cardiff they had not instituted the annual festival. In 1882 I arranged matters so that the, health committee of the Cardiff Corporation should inspect the horses and vehicles owned by them on May 1. I had the animals trimmed up with straws and ribbons, the vehicles and harness painted and furbished. There were pres ent on that day Alderman Winstone, who was then chairman of the health committee, and gentlemen who were then councilors and members of the health com- mittee, namely, Messrs. Robert Bird, D. E. Jcnes, T. W. Jacobs, Thomas Rees, T. Evans, W. E. Vaughan, D. L. Lougher, and W. San- ders. They were called upon to inspect six vans and horses and fourteen carts and horses, which were then sufficient to meet the require- rafi't? of the town." .'J)id you have a parade?" "Oh, yes; a ud I was laughed at heartily. People did no krow what was the matte1*. The next year the corporation gave L5 to en- courage the men to keep their horses in good condition." "Did the public take any interest then?" "No. It was not until the third year that the public took any interest, and then we gave prizes amounting to £10. Gradually that amount was increased, until last year we gave £100 in prizes, and this year will do the same. "Well, what has beKl the effect of holding the shows ?" "Every yea.r since 1885 the entries in the different cfckses of thw- parade improved, and we had a better class of horses. Ten years age the horses we met with in thw streets of Car- • diff were a very sorry looking lot, indeed. Tradesmen did not seem to (-. what eort of stock they had, but now a great change, has came over matters. In every class of horses in Cardiff there is a very marked improvement. I daresay that we have the finest class of cobs in Cardiff that there is in the whole country., Of -oouw. have sn'ven. ?')-<ci? ,priltf!\l1 in Um department, and the change has been most gratifying. Tradesmen now take a greater interest in their horses, the animals are bettw kept, both as regards food and grooming, thwù harness always looks well, and just prior to the May Day show most of the vehicles an freshly painted." "And where does this improvement mostly exist ?" "Oh," said Mr. Woosey, "in every cJass. Bakers, grocers, butchers, milk sellers, brewers, and contratcors, all ha.w at the present time as fine a lot of animals as one could wish for. And the effect of this is that the animals look better, and, as a result, the town looks more prosperous." "What were your entries last year ?" "Close upon 300, but that was below thoM of the previous year. I expect a much bigger entry for the coming parade. It is a great pity that in Cardiff we cannot get the railway authorities to turn out their horses and trolleys. In Liverpool, Manchester, and other towns it is done to a very great extent, but in Cardiff they -tre very apathetic, and do not send my horses to the show. We expect a, very big parade on the 1st of May, and we have special feature this year which ought to draw a large number of entries and a. big crowd of spectators. During several years past there has been some, dissatisfaction as to the result* in the cob classes, and this year we have resolved to judgip the cobs in one class, taking into consideration speed and action. It was thought that heretofore the rings have been too small, so this year the class for the best cob, mare or gelding, will be judged by each entry having to trot three laps of the bicycle course." "Have you any other special attraction?-" "Yes, there are two cycling events, and in the evening the gardens will be illuminatfd, and there will be a display of fireworks by Messrs. Pain and Sons, London. There will also be a promenade concert for the benefit of Nazareth House, and the band of the 3rd V.B. Welsh Regiment will play selections."

"BROADER BRITAIN." PART XI. IS A STRONG NUMBER AND IS NOW BEADY. The Werner Company evidently does not follow the principle of exhausting all the trea- sure at the beginning and leaving nothing for the end, for Part XI of "Broader Britain" is one of the best issues we have yet seen. The double plate of Cape Town is a host in itself. Cape Town is one of the most beautifully- situated places in'the world, and for that roasoa alcne we should all be grateful for this photo- graph. Lately this always interesting town has occupied attention to an extraordinary degree, Cape Town having during the last months bulked more in the eye=> of British sub- jects than any other part of the Empire.
