THE PRUSSIAN CHOIR. TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK AT CAR- DIFF PANOPTICON). Herr Pareezer, who will appear at the Panopticon. Cardiff, next week with his magni- ficent dioramas and highly-accomplished Prussian. Choir, band, and sketch party, has had an interesting and eventful career. Although only 36 years of age, nearly every town, on the Continent is familiar to him, and. what is more interesting to us. his travels i.n the United Kingdom have extended into all the picturesque nooks and corners of North Wstles. with tibe beautiful scenery of which be Warns so enamoured, that he eventually settled down at Abeiystwith, "the Queen of Welsh Watering-places,^ and is now the pro- prietor of a flourishing opera-house there and remunerative bill-posting business, 'which, tha-nk* t.o tux energy and business capacity, vs flourishing also. One of our representatives on Friday travelled to Bridgend, where during tho past week Herr P*,ree?»r has been delighting the inhabitants by his refined, instructive, and interesting entertainments, and sought out; the genial traveller for the purpose of learning from his own lips the story of his life. The pressman was cordially received, and spent a delightful aftprnoon in Herr Pareezer'< company. "I arrived in Eaglandi in the early sevrnties," said Herr Pareezar. as the pressman produced his notebook, "a.nd when I name to tibis pountrv from Poland, where T was born, of Jewish (parents, I oould not. speak a word of English. Undw 'the iuitio-tt of a, Gasrroa.n master in London, however, I soon made pro- gress, and. although I found your language terribly hard to leam, I at last mastered it." Our representative treinarked tfhat. He^r I Pareesar had not, been guilty of any exaggera- tion in using the last phrase, bttsause he speaks English as perfectly as if he were "native »nd the manner born." "Having- become familiar with the English tanguage," oairiiniied, the principal of the Prussian Choir, "I took up a position under it mill-fitting tfi-pm,, and travelled, the large manufacturing towns off England, as t'heir representative," "And when did you siart your career as a public entertainer?'' "I established t-he Prussian Choir in 1889. and since then have given entertainments in all parts of Englandi, Ireland, and Wales, The choir has lieen a great success, and we have young ladies of severa-l nationalities i.rarvel- ling with us, including many Welsh girls." "You have, you say, been generally eucoess- iul in your work ?" "Distintrcly so. Without undue egotism, I think I o&n. say thja-t. my enifeertbainmenits ha-vs succeeded 'fcrmmTihitntly alil n'long it he line, eulogies having poured, in from all sorts and condition^ of men. including eUirgyinen, Wes- levan.s, Congregationalirfbs, Roman Oatihdlies, Baptists, Presbyterians, 3"d others, whose aximirsijtion. for these e.n:tRrlainm4'm'b, has been expressed i J1. no unstinted terms. Imldeed I have met with woroderlful kindness from vast numbers of clergymen and ministers and lead- ing citizens all over the land." "The dioramas have been very greatly ap- preciated a*; modes of educating the people, then?" "Oh, yes. You see, I act as-guide to brighten the journey each evening with anec- dote and chatty description; but my talk is always instructive. When we speak of the pictures thrown upon the screen, descriptionn must necessarily fail short of the reality; and I can only advise those who want, to know to what excellence the photographer's art has teen carried to visit my pictorial exhibitions, where the exquisite beauty of the weirdest, Wildest, and most lovely scenery and archi- tecture of the world is depicted with a faith- fulness of colouring and outline second only to the great a.rtist, Mother Nature herself." "How do the members of your choir like the life 1" "They enjoy it very much. We are like cne large family, and we are all very happy together. At one time I had several gentle- men in the company, but the choir is now without them, as the young gentlemen would fall in love with the young ladies, and we had two weddings in six months." "I suppose you have had some funny expe- riences in the course of your travels?" "Yes, quite a catalogue of them; but I cannot re-call them all to mind on the spur of the moment. On one occasion we had to travel a distance of ten miles, and the mem- bers of the choir occupied a specially-retained carriage. During a break in the journey we wer-j put into a siding, and the railway officials forgot all about us. When the wait became a little bit tedious I left the carriage, and asked the rail- way people how it was that the train that was to teke us on had not arrived,and then I dis- covered the true position of affairs. It took us five hours to travel those ten miles. At one phice in the North the enthusiasm of intending patrons was so great that they broke down the doors of the hall and tried to get in through the windows. Tha.t night a large number of the audience had to be accommodated with seats on the platform, and there was hardly room for my artistes to move. On another occasion tha curtains on the stage caught fire, and there might have been a serious panic if it had nob been for the presence of mind of a gentleman in the audience, who jumped up on the stage and tore the burningourtains down before the audience had recovered from the shock." Speaking of this country, Herr Pareezer, said, England, God bless it. It is the country of freedom and toleration, and I hope it may be my abiding place for the remainder of my life. I should like to say," continued the entertainer, that I was much struok with Cardiff on my first visit to it the other day. It is the most prosperous town ÎI1 Wales,.and I congratulae tthe jnhabi- tants upon their extraordinary business capacity." in the course of further conversation, HVJT Pareezer said that the late Sir Joseph Monte- fiorc. was a personal friend of his, and that he was in possession of letters from Sir Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Terry, Marie Rose, and other great artktes of the theatrical world. Although born of Jewish parents, Herr Pareezer is a Christian, having been converted to Chris- tianity at Chesterfield, mainlv through the instrumentality of Messrs. Fullerton and Smith two of Mr. Spurgeoo's evangelist*. This Wad in 1883. The effect of this step was electrical in Jewish circles, and if, resulted in the renun- • ciation of Herr Pareezer by his parents, rela- tives, and friends.

CARDIFF GRAND THEATRE. VISIT OF HARDIE AND VON LEER'S "THE PLUNGER. < ,7 Yiotor Steven's successful comedy, The Village Venus, will be followed next week at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, by the production of that well-known and highly popular American melodrama, entitled "The Plunger." The piece is a portrayal of the sensational incidents which surround the life of the hero of the plot, "Walter Glvdon," which role is admirably filled by Mr. Julius Roys- ton. The other characters in the play are sustained by a well-balanced company, which is under the direction of Messrs. Frank A. Gorden and Haldane Crichton. "THE NEW WOMAN" AT SWANSE 4L THEATRE. On Monday next Swansea playgoers are to have a treat in the shape, of a viBit from Comyns Carr's Company in the "New Woman," by Sydney Grundy. We have so recently eulogised; the play and this particular company on its visit to Cardiff, that further words are hardly needed. The "caustic wit and satire of Mr. Grundy's attack on the "new woman" has deligfhted London and sealed the fate of the creature in question. The com- pany includes Mr. R S. Boleyn, ML Henry Arncliffe, Mr. Charles Calvert, Mim Laura Graves, &c., who are well-qualified to take part in what the "Telegraph" called "the spanking race for conversational fame" fur- nished by this brilliant comedy.

DR. HEfRBER EVANS AT CARDIFF. Dr. Herber Evans, who is to preach in the Park-hall, Car- diff, to-morrow (Sunday) morning and evening, in connection with Charles- street Congregational Church, is the most distinguished Welsh orator belonging to the denomination, either in the Principality or outside of it.

Three years ago he was chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, when he delivered two stirring and eloquent addresses —one on "The Free Churohes and their Opportunity." and the other on "A Living Church.

Kitty Faced the Storm SIXTEEN DAYS ON A SHIP'ST FIGUREHEAD. How the Maria L.'s Mascot W*Sotj thered a Hurricane Clinginf to Minerva's Helmet. To sea Kitty—She Maltese oat of the boatyi+j Maria L,—now, nobody would! imagine { she had only at few weeks ago undergone an experience which entitles her to rank as "i feline Dr. Tanner. She is s-leek, round, and playful, and she purred most amiably when a I reporter stroked her on the back while she WM • Japping a saucer of milk. "f wouldn't give Kitty for a small fortune, said. Captain Durso. "J think she's one of the; most remarkable cats living. She has had mont; adventures than perhaps any other of her tribe, but the last one was undoubtedly the most memorable of the lot. "You see, it happened this way. We sailed r from Tarragona July 27, and were three weeks out wherv a terrific storm arose. This- raged with almost unaba-ted furv for sixteen davs. Aitar yi'. subsided I took an inventory of the missing, but the only thing gone was Kitty. W." searched! high and low-in the shrouds, bekwsan decks—everywhere, but Kitty was no- where '1.0 he found. I concluded that she had been sweot overboard during the storm, par- ticularly as one of the sailors tclåt me that he had seen her basking in the sun less thi-n half < an hour before the storm broke loose. The enddenness of the squall. I thought, had taken < Kitty unawares, and! the first lurch of the ship > had consigned her to a watery tomb. The day following the storm was so sunny and balmv that, but for the mountainous sweep of the waves, which were still fretting from the lashing they had received, we could scarcely realise what danger we had just emergred from. "While I was taking my luncheon, Tonv. the cabin boy, came running n, shouting. 'Kitty hps been found.' Sure enough, there was Kitty, lying half dead on the deck, while the sailors were grouped around administering milk and stroking her fur ac gently as sentimental girls. "It seems that one of the men, while sitting in the prow of the ship, heard a plaintive sound ooming from beneath the boom.Looking over, he saw Kitty stretched out in the ansrle formed' by the projecting figure-head. The cat was i frightfully emaciated. She lay on her back. Her eves were glazed, and every now and then 1 she uttered a. scarcely audible cry. She made no effort to clutch a rope which was lowered to her, and so the man went over and freed her from her perilous position. It is probable that' Kitty jumped from the boom to the figure-head just before the storm. But when the squall) came the leap back was too dono-f>rous, and sosheu clung to the back of Minerva, the figure-head, all during the sixteen days' storm. She couldS not have had a mouthful of food in all that time, and she must have concentrated all her strength; Æ during the whole period on retaining bki .hold."

THE PERSONNEL OF THE COUNCIL.

Brazen lungs and ostentatious professions of' ] religious md Radical orthodoxy have bean accepted fs a substitute for common sense andL. grasp of intellect. i GRANGETOWN WARD. ] MR. F. A.
