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- veiitf-d to remedy this acknowledged defect. None of these have been generally adopted, but it is claimed for a new invention patented by Mr. E. Pink, of Stanton Saint Bernard, near Pewsey, Wilts, that it overcomes all the t 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 j handles of the jointed sonlls 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 th t w^ter, 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 shows the handle and blade collapsed, «nd lying along the gunwale of the boat. Mr. Pink ertaAee 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 rotMC as in the present style of rowing, but liM pleasure of the rower is much enhanced from the fact of being able to see where he is row- ing to, and requires no one to steer, the boat, and the patentee claims that by the use of his 'apparatus (especially upon narrow rivers and lakes in parks where there may be many boate rowing about together) the danger of collision is minimised, if not altogether avoided.

THE MISSING GIRL. r SARAH HIGGS HAS RETURNED TO HER HOME. Our representative, on calling late on Mon- day evening at No. 61, Don aid-street, was in- formed by Mr. Higgs that his daughter, Sarah Ann Higgs, who had not been iieen by her relatives sinca Saturday evening, had returned home; It appears that the girl, who, it will be remembered, wrote a letter to her uncle, in v'hioh she stated th?A 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-street, whose advertisement of rooms to let she had read in the daily papers. To avoid suspicion, she represented herself to Mrs. Barber as having oome to Cardiff to take tip an engagement in a shop in the town. She stayed at No. 38 during Sunday, but on Monday she was met by her mother in Newport-road, with whom she n-fciatted hcwkm Whe" 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- mMits 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, she re- gretted the letter five minutes after 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, aiid 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. When she arrived, however, it was only to be able to identify the prodiga-l as 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 col1ieries. 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 ahall 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 mass 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 has been done vet, nor oould 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 maps meeting will ta.ke place, as convened, on Sunday next to further discuss the situation.

ALLOCATION OF TITHES. MR. D. A. THOMAS PLEASED WITH MERTHYR GUARDIANS. Mr. 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.

r HORRIBLE AFFAIR. A MAN BURNT TO DEATH ON THE ROADSIDE. On Monday the depulty-coroner (Mr. Hutchin- son) held an inquest at the Temple Bar Inn, Ewias Harold, Pontrilas, Newport, touching the of Thomas Smith, an innate 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 Prosser, 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 ismoking, which ignited the wearing apparel and set it in flames.

A CASE FROM EOTTEBDAX. SIGNING ON SEAMEN1 ON A CAR- DIFF SHIP. Mr. J. Havelock 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 Maies-ty's Consul at the port of Rotterdam on April 25, when the said sailors and firemen were charged three guelders each by the shipping master 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 aHe seamen and B3 5s. per month for firemen; and whether he is aware that in consequence of the low wages paid the police were called in to the consular offices to prevent a disturbance; and, further, to ask if the Undtff'-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 widenee of the crew of the Et hel 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 oooasion on which he brought forward a similar question the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs said that if he could bring any e 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 «camined as to the cir- cumstances under which they were shipped, and als, "IS to the fees they were charged T k i Ethel Radcliffe is a Cardiff vessel, owned by Messrs. Evan Thomas, Radcliffe, and Co., I Dock Chambers.

A RHYL SENSATION. A LUNATIC LADY THROWS HER- SELF FROM THE FIER. 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 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 lafdy was drowned. Deceased came from London.

RAILWAY FATALITY. A SHUNTER KILLED ON THE I CAMBRIAN RAILWAY. A shacking accident eccurred at Llanidloe8 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 ft few minutes afterwards.

"BROADER BRITAIN." A very queer and impenetrable-looking cor- ner is the Hill Fort at Mudghirn, 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 fighting 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 the august name of Arthur Wellesley.

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 sopranos, tenors, contraltos, and bassos that have appeared from time -to time above the musical horizon sound well-nigh fabulous, and a,re, not a. little interesting to consider. To ga 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' Inn Fields. She drew considerably over B600 for a season, and at one time she was singing for B20 a night—> high terms in 1708. At the same theatre. 26 years later, the great singer, Farinelli, during the three years he spent in London, though his salary was bub £ 1,500 a season. earned at least £ 5,000 yearly: for at but o-jo 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 also a purse of 100 guineas. Later in life he 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, butr did not fulfill the expectafions he had raised, though at Venice he received JB5,500 and a. benefit of JB555 for a season of three months— higher terms than had previously been paid to any singer. In 1768 Gabriel li, one of the most beautiful of women and magnificent of sopranos, de- manded 5,000 ducats salary from Catherine II*, 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 J6100 a night for two songs at the London Pantheon concerts—an immense salary; in those days. About 30 years later Catalani was j was receiving some £ 3,000 for the season in Por- tugal, and in 1806 she came to London for ft promise of B2,000 for the season from Septet. ber 15 to August, 1807, with a further sum of jBl,000 to defray the cost of her journey to London and one benefit night free of expense. As a ffaqt, however, she drew from the King's Theatre in the Haymarket £ 5,000, in- j eluding benefits; and her total profits in 1807, J with concerts -and provincial tours, were 1 £ 16,300. She once received JB200 for singing 1 "God Save the King" and "Rule', Britannia," and for her services at one festival she was paid £ 2,000. Her charities, however, were innumerable, and it is estimated that she earned at least J380,000 at concerts for such purposf,18 alone. As an instance of her reckless j extravagance, it is stated that the cost, of beer for her servants for a single year amounted to B105. Malibran was engaged by Alfred Bunn for; i iueteen nights, at 9123 per night, payable in advance. Singing m Drury-latte in English opera in 1833. she received 80,DCIQ "Trance ( £ 3,200) for forty representations, with two bu efits, which produced not less than 50,000) francs ( £ 2.000). Two years later, at the opera in London, she drew jB2,175 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, Sea la. she. received nearly £ 18,000 for 185 performances. In 1838 Mario was offered jEoO 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 was. raised from je500 to jE2,000 the day after her first appearance, uinging, as sho was, against Jenny Lind at. the opposition house. SontAgt WaA1 paid £ 6,000 for a season of six months at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1849. Rubini, who began his career at fifteen years of age by singing, for five francs, a.n air in at new drama by Lambetti, made immense sums later in life. realising 22,000 at one concert a* 8t. Petersburg. 1 nlike Ma.rio and M&rft, who both died in comparative poverty, Rubini saved large sums, and left behind him one of the largest fortunes ever ^massed on the operatic 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 220,000, gaining a 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 current knowledge that the usual terms of the former are £800 per concert in London and J6400 in the provinces. Mme. Patt.i lately refused an offer of a tour in Brazil at the remuneration of £ 1,200 a night. Fairly handsome salaries are paid also fca leading artiste of the Vienna opera. Herr Winklernann, 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 year in Aus- tria. Frau Materna. who is soon to retire. to be re-placed by Frau Klafsky. gets the same amount for the wiMjIe year, and Frau 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 a few other songs, and bargained for a third of the receipts. She found that her share con- sisted of three pigs, 23 turkeys, 44 chickens, < t 5.000 oocoanuts and a considerable quantity of bananas, lemons, and oranges.
