He trusts it will be as suc- cessful a gathering as the one which he never forgets."

OARSMEN, NOTE. A WILTSHIRE MAN'S NEW INVEN- TION FOR ROWING. It has always been recognised as a disadvan- tage that in rowing a boat the oarsmen does not face the direction in which the boat is moving, and several appliances have been in- ventt'd to remedy this acknowledged defect. None of these have been generally adopted, but it is claimed for a now invention patented by Mr. E. Pink, of Stanton Saint Bernard, near Pewsey, Wilts, that it overcomes all the objections to preceding inventions designed for the same purpose. Some photographs have been published-showing the working of the new rowing apparatus. No. 1 shows the handles of the jointed soulls pushed forward, the blades also going forward and just taking the water; No. 2 shows the handles brought backwards, just as in the ordinary way of row- ing, and the blades also brought back through the water, and just leaving the water for another stroke forward, by which operation the boat is propelled forward and the rower faces the point to be reached; No 3 -the 'handle and blade collapsed, and lying along the gunwale of the boat. Mr. Pink states that with the pair of oars shown on the photos he has at different times rowed 70 or 80 miles altogether, and without the slightest hitch or mishap whatever. The exertion and move- ments of the body required are just the same as in the present style of rowing', but the pleasure of the rower is much enhanced from the faot of being able to see where he is row- mg to, and requires no one to steer the boat, and the patentee claims titat by the use of his- apparatus (especially upon narrow rivers and lakes in parks where there may be many boats rowing about together) the danger of collision is minimised, if not altogether avoided.

THE MISSING GIRL. SARAH HIGGS HAS RETURNED TO HER SOKE, Our representative, on calling late on Mon- day evening at. No. 61, Donald-street, was in- formed by Mr. Higgs that his daughter, Sarah Ann Higgs, who had not been seen by her relatives since Saturday evening, had returned heme. It appears that the girl, who, it will be remembered, wrote a letter to her uncle, in v bich she stated that she contemplated suicide, had, when sent on an errand by her father on Saturday evening, delayed her return until it was so late that she feared to face her parents' anger, which she knew she would meet, as her mother had but a few days previously severely reprimanded her for the habit of staying out late, to which she was much addicted. It was while in 'the state of indecision arising from 'this fear that the idea entered her head that she, instead of returning home, would go and lodge with a Mrs. Barber, of 38, Sophia-streets whose advertisement of rooms to let she had read in the daily papers. To avoid suspicion, she represented herself to Mrs. loy' Barber as having come to Cardiff to take up an engagement m a shop in the town. She Oil stayed at No. 38 during Sunday, but on Monday she was met by her mother in Newport-road, with whom she returned home, where she expressed to her parents her sincere regret for what she had done, and more especially for the letter she had written to her uncle. The state- meavts she therein made as to the treatment she had received at the hands of her mother she now admits to be entirely false; in fact, «he re- gretted the letter five minutes a.fter she had posted it. Mr. and Mrs Higgs desire to express their gratitude to all their friends and relations, who one and all did whatever they could to find the whereabouts of the missing child, and to Mrs. Barber, who on reading the description of Miss Higgs at once went to Donald-street to give the information that a girl answering to the description was lodging at her house. hen she arrived, however, it was only to be able to identify the prodigal ai her erstwhile boarder.

TAFF VALE WORKMEN. THEIR GRIEVANCES AGAINST THE DIRECTORS. A fortnight since the employes of the Taff Vale Railway Company, in mass meeting assembled at Cardiff, protested against an alleged violation on the part of the manage- ment of the agreement of 1890, guaranteeing payment at the rate of 60 hours per week, unless there is some serious interruption at the collieries. The men protested against the notice that had been posted that the trainmen's working agreement would be suspended indefi- nitely, on the ground of unusual interruption at the collieries. The notice, however, was given effect to in Good Friday week, as the men say, in violation of the clause in the 1890 agreement, which states that they shall be paid for Easter, Whitsuntide, and Christmas holidays, and they further affirm that the col- lieries worked as they always have during holiday seasons, and that there was no justifica- tion for the step the management thought fit to take. The delegates of the men were in- structed by resolution of the mas,s meeting to obtain "enlightenment" from the manage- ment, and report to another mass meeting on Sunday, May 5. The delegates have not waited-upon the management, neither have the latter replied to the men's resolutions. Nothing ha.ot been done yet, nor could have been very well, inasmuch as there has been no meeting of the board until to-day (Tuesday). During Easter week, however, the wages were paid for the full 60 hours, and this seems to indicate that the men will succeed in their agitation. Another mass meeting will take place, sts convened, -on Sunday next to further discuss the situation.

ALLOCATION OF TITHES. MR. D. A. THOMAS PLEASED WITH MERTHYR GUARDIANS. My- D. A. Thomas, M~P., whilst declining to add anything to what he has said already on the subject of the allocation of tithes, was evidently very gratified at the result of the division at the Merthyr Board of Guardians on Saturday, when by a majority of 22 to four it was decided not to petition Parliament in favour of the method of allocation proposed in the Welsh Bill.

THE QUEEN OF HOLLAND. LORD ROSEBERY VISITS HER MAJESTY. Lord Rosebevy called on Monday at Brown's Hotel, the present headquarters of the Queen of Holland, and inscribed his name in the visitors' book. Sir William Harconrt's name also appears in the book. The Queen and her mother drove in the City on Monday, and in the afternoon visited the British Museum.

f HORRIBLE AFFAIR. A MAN BURNT TO DEATH ON THE ROADSIDE. On Monday the deputy-coroner (Mr. Hutchin- son) held an inquest a* the Temple Bar Inn, Ewias Harold, Pontrilas, Newport, touching the of Thomas Smith, an inmate of the Dore Union Workhouse. Deceased 'had absconded from the workhouse on the 16th of April, and was returning to the workhouse on the 26th of April, when deceased was found by a baker, named Prcsser, to be all on fire on a heap of stones on the roadside, within 200 yards of The Trap House, Ewias Harold. Prosser, as soon as he discovered what was the matter, immediately dis- mounted from his cart, and by means of rugs succeeded in putting out the flames, when de- ceased was found to be quite dead. Deceased was burnt in a fearful manner, the sight being a terribly ghastly one, and it was only by means of his clothes that recognition was possible.—The jury, of which Mr. Herbert Jones, Harold Villa, was foreman, returned a verdict, to the effect that deceased met with his death as the result of being burnt to death, caused by a pipe after smoking, which ignited the wearing apparel and set ft in ffamts.

A CASE FROM ROTTERDAM. SIGNING ON SEAMEN ON A CAR- DIFF SHIP. Mr. J. Hav«lock Wilson on Monday night put on the notice papers of the House of Com- mons the following question:—"To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the British steamship Ethel Radcliffe signed on a crew of foreign sailors and firemen before her British Majesty's Consul at thfl port of Rotterdam on April 25, when the said sailors and firemen were charged three guelders each by the shipping masttc before they could get their advance notes; and if he was aware that her Majesty's Consul used his office for the purpose of procuring these men for £ 3 per month for able seamen and 23 5s. pel- month for firemen; and whether he is aware that in coi.' sequence of the low wages paid the police were called in to the consular offices to prevent a disturbance; and, further, to ask if the Und«r-Secretary for Foreign Affairs does not think it desirable that instructions should be given to consuls in the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam and Hamburg to discontinue trans- acting business in shipping interests, either directly or indirectly, and what steps he will take to have the evidence of the crew of the Ethel Radcliffe taken before the superintendent of the Board of Trade, as the vessel now lies in the port of London." In reference to this last passage, Mr. Wilson informed our London representative that on the last oocasion on which he brought forward a similar question the Under-Secretary for Foreien Affairs said that if he could bring any particular case under his notice where men had been charged these shipping fees he would make inquiries about it. On Monday morning, whilst at the port of London, Mr. Wilson came across the case which he has outlined in his question, and he thinks it a favourable oppor- tunity to get the crew eccamined as to the cir- cumstances under which they were shipped, and also n to the fees they were charged '} k ■ Ethel Radcliffe is a Cardiff vessel, owned I by Messrs. Evan Thomas, Radcliffe, and Co., I Dock Chambers.

I A RHYL SENSATION. j A LUNATIC LADY THROWS HER- SELF FROM THE PIER. On Monday afternoon a private inmate of Denbigh Lunatic Asylum, named Miss Murray, aged 52, proceeded to Rhyl, in charge of an attendant, for an outing. Both ladies went on to the pier and sat down. In a few I minutes, and without the slightest warning, Miss Murray ran across the pier and jumped off the railings into the water. The atten- dant gave the alarm, but as, the tide was in ¡ the unfortunate lady urm drowned. Deceased came from London.

RAILWAY FATALITY. A SHUNTER KILLED ON THE I CAMBRIAN RAILWAY. A shacking accident occurred at Llauidloe8 Station, on the Cambrian Railway, on Monday morning. A shunter named Dyson, whilst engaged at his work, accidently fell in front of a truck of a goods train and was run over. He was terribly mutilated, his body being almost cut in two. He died a few minutes afterwards. -?-

"BROADER BRITAIN." A very queer and impenetrable-looking cor. ner is the Hill Fort at Mudghirri, of which a photograph is to be found in Part XI. of "Broader Britain." The Kadur district of Mysore has seen a good deal of figfbting in its time, but of late years it has been chiefly cele- brated for its coffee plantations. The fight- ing days of Mysore are connected with tie august naine of Arthur Welleeley. — -? ■

Millions in Their Voices THE SUMS GREAT SINGERS HAVE MADE. An Artiste who got Two Hundred Pounds Singing England's National Anthem and "Rule Britannia." The amounts that have been paid to famous sopranoe, tenors, contraltos, and bassos that have appeared from time oto time above the musical horizon sound well-nigh fabulous, and are not a little interesting to consider. To go back to the early days of the last century, to the early days of -the Italian opera in this country, Mrs. Catherine Tofts, its first lady interpreter in England, claimed high salaries at the theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields. She drew considerably over J3600 for a season, and at one time she was singing for JB20 a night— high terms in 1708. At the same theatre, 26 years later, the great singer. Farinelli, during the tharee years he spent in London, though hit- salary was but £ 1,500 a season, earned at least JB5,000 yearly: for at but one of his numerous appearances at Court, the Prince of Wales gave him a fine wrought-gold snuff box, richly set with diamonds and rubies, in which was en- closed a pair of diamond knee buckles, as aieo a purse of 100 guineas. Later in life lie ac- cepted an engagement at the Court of Spain at a, salary of 50,000f. ( £ 2,000) per annum. Two years after Farinelli left London the other great singer of the time, Caffarelli, appeared at the King's Theatre, but did not fulfill the expectations lie had raised. though at Venice lie received 93,500 and a btnefit of JE555 for a season of three months— higher terms than. had previously been paid to any singer. In 1768 Gabrielli, one of the most beautiful of women and magnificent of sopranos, de- manded 5,000 ducats salary from Catherine 11. of Russia. The Empress objected that it was larger than the pay of a Field Marshal. "Then let your Field Marshals sing for you," re- torted Gabrielli, as Caffarelli had replied before, under like circumstances. That phenomenal soprano, Agujari, was in 1775 paid JB100 a night for two songs at the London Pantheon concerts—an immense salary in those days. About 30 years later Catalani was was receiving some 93,000 for the season in Por- tugal, and in 1806 she came to London for a promise of 22,000 for the season from Septem- ber 15 to August, 1807, with a further sum of £ 1,000 to defray the oost of her journey to London and one benefit night free of expense. As a ffact, however, she drew from the King's Theatre in the Hay market J35,000, in- cluding benefits and her total profits in 1807, with concerts and provincial tours, were 216,300. She once received B200 for singing "God Save the King" and "Rule, Britannia," and for her services at one festival she was paid 22,000. Her charities, however, were innumerable, and it is estimated that she; j earned at least £ 80,000 at concerts for such J purposes alone. As an instance of her reckless | extravagance, it is stated that the cost of beer 1 for her servants for a. single year amounted 1 to £ 103. v M&libivtn was engaged by ASFred Runu for j nineteen nights, at JB125 per night, payable 1 advance. Singing in Drury-lane in Eng|| £ | opera in 1833, she received 80,000 fnuim ( £ 3,200) for forty representations, with two bei efits, which producod not less than 50,000 francs (22. 000). Two yeaffs later, at the opera, in London, she drew E2,173 for twenty-four performances. Such sums were paid to her at the English provincial festivals as had never before been heard of, and at La Scala she. received nearly £ 18,000 for 185 performances. In 1838 Mario was offered £ 60 a month for; his first appearance, though this was, of course, largely the result of his romantic history. Alboni's salary at Covent Garden in 1847 wtis raised from JB500 to jS2,000 the day after her first appearance, singing, as sho was, against Jenny, Lind at the opposition house. Sontag was ptiid j66,000 for a season of six months at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1849. Rubini, who began his career at fifteen ywura of age by singing, for five francs, an air in a new dmma by Lambetti, made immense sums later in life, realising £2.000 at one concert- a* St. Petersburg. Unlike Mario and Mara, who both died in comparative poverty. Rubini 6aved large sums, and left behind him one of the largest fortunes ever amassed on the operafcie stage. Jenny Lind was naturally paid enormous sums in the course of her triumphant career. During a tour of two years through the- States, commenced, in 1850, she made B20,000, gaining it husband as well. These pecuniary traditions are adequately preserved by at least two present-day singers, to whom a thousand or two for a- concert is an ordinary sum—Mme. "Patti and Mme. Albani. It is ourrent knowledge that the usual terms of the former are L800 per concert in London and £ +00 in the provinoes. Mme. Patti lately refused an offer of a tour if* Brazil at the remuneration of £ 1,200 a night. Fairly handsornè salaries are paid also to leading artists of the Vienna open. Herr Winklemann, a tenor, who appeared in Lon- don in German opera some years ago, is paid 26.000 florins for a season of nine months. M. Van Dyke gets about 24.000 florins, but he sings only seven months of the yeaj in Aus- tria, Frau Materna, who is soon to retire. to be re-placed by Frau Klafsky, gets the eame amount for the whole year, ajod Fran Schluger, the dramatic soprano, receives 20,000 florins per annum. The tenors thus get more than, the sopranos. Mile. Zellie of the Theatre Lvrique, at Paris, while singing at a concert in the Society Islands in the course of a tour around the world, was to sing an air from "Norma" and few other songs, and bargained for a third of the receipts. She found that her share oon- sisted of three pigs, 23 turkeys, 44 chickens, 5.000 cocoanute and a considerable quantity of bananas, lemons, and oranges.
