DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MRS. GOODWIN MUMBLES.—It is with great regret that we have to announce the death, after a short illness, of Mrs. Alfred Goodman, Mumbles, daughter of the late Mr. Frank Ash Yeo, M.P., and sister of Mr. Cory Yeo, Danycoed, Mumbles, which took place at her residence on Monday. The funeral took place yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, the inter- ment taking place at the Mumbles Cemetary. In the mourning carriages were Mr. Alfred Goodwin (the bereaved husband), Mr. Cory Yeo and Mr. A. Yeo (brothers), Mr. Nance (brother-in-law), Principal Viriamu Jones, Mr. Frank Strick, Dr. Bevan, and the Rev. Evan Jenkins. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Evan Jenkins (Walter-road Chapel.) Some beautiful wreaths and crosses were sent by the members of the family and friends. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. D. C. Jones, Castle-square, Swansea. SWANSEA HORTICULTURAL SHOW.—THE RE- SULT.—A well-attended meeting of the Swansea Horticultural Society was recently held at the Market Coffee Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. J. F. H)trvey. The secretaries, Messrs. Drumoaond and Foote, said they were unable to present a balance-sheet in connection with the late show, as many accounts were outstanding. The general results of the show, however, were considered very satisfactory. Roughly spenkin?, the total cost of the show amounted to about £ 330, and they were left with a balance of £ 50. Eight or ten rounds would have to be paid out of this for the annual subscription to the H.H.S., the purchase of medals, and a few other incidentals. It was decidtd to subscribe £21 to the charities of the town, the same as last year. Votes of thanks were passed to Colonel Morgan for the active interest he had j taken in the association to Mr. J. F. Harvey and Mr. George Harvey, for their help in managing the 1 finances of the association and to Messrs. Jenkins E and Gorvin and others who assisted towards the success of the show.

\1[11£ (Eambrwn. SWANSEA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1898. THE DIOCESAN CONFERENCE. Yesterday (Thursday) the new Parish Church of St. Mary's was consecrated. To-day (Friday) the Diocesan Conference will take place at the Albert Hall. Both events mark an epoch in the life and history of the Established Chuvsh in Wales. The one possesses an interest and significance which the people of Swansea and district cannot fail to be impressed with. It bears striking testimony to the indomitable perseverance and surprising organisation of Chancellor Smith, Vicar of Swansea, and the energy and vitality of the Church in this portion of the Principality. To the Diocesan Confer- ence belongs an interest and significance of a more national character. What turn the discussions will take to-day we do not know. It is probable that some important pro- nouncements will be made, and that we shall be given further proof of the remark- able growth of the power and influence of the Church in Wales during the past fifteen years or so. Swansea has already extended to the Diocesan Conference delegates a hearty Swansea welcome. Perhaps the town has not been seen at its best. The weather has been as unpropitious as it could possibly be. However, our friends and visitors cannot fail to be struck wilh the importance of the town and the position of the Church in this district. In addition to Jcclesiasts of eminent standing and great teaming, we have in our midst laymen who have contributed very substantially indeed to the development of the Church-Lord Jersey, Lord Windsor, Sir J. T. "0. Llewelyn, Bart., M.P., not to mention many others. The sermons delivered yesterday by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ripon were pregnant with deep thought and learning. The Bishop of Ripon was heard at his best last evening. His discourse was as eloquent as it was powerful, impressive, thoughtful and homely, and it left a deep impression upon all who heard it. The presence in our midst of the Arch- bishop of Canterbury is rendered all the more interesting and important by reason of the Charge he delivered last week. We do not know to what extent the clergy as a body are prepared to accept the definitions and directions fiom St. Augustine's chair, as binding upon their consciences. The per- sonality of the Archbishop, by whom such directions are given, the ripeness of his scholarship, the strength of his character, the fairness and moderation of his views, will doubtless determine the degree in which acquiescence will be shown. la Dr. Temple, as Churchmen generally cannot but allow, the qualities we have enumerated are con- spicuous, and in time of ecclesiastical and theological unrest, we can conceive of no more valuable service to the Church than that which he has just performed. One merit possessed in striking measure by Dr. Temple's utterance is lusidity. If the nature of certain of the subjects with which he has had to deal, notably that of Eucharist, is such as of necessity involves the use of me- taphysical language, there is yet in the Archbishop's treatment of them a vigour which not only indicates that he knows his own mind, but enables every reader of ordi- nary intelligence to appreciate what is meant. Could anything be clearer or more reasonable than the principle which is laid down as a working theory of the Church- the principle, namely, that while there is scope for diversity of teaching (of course within limits of definition) there is no justi- fication whatever for departure from or addition to the ritual prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer. «The ceremonial is the order of the Church," aDd those who vary it or supplement it are breakers of the law and violators of their own solemn vow The ceremonial that is enjoined must be practised; ceremonial that is not enjoined must be regarded as forbidden. Brought to the touchstone of this simple principle,many of the acts of the Ritualist section are un- lawful. For example, "it is unlawful to elevate the consecrated elements in the Communion office to reserve them after the office is over; to carry them out of the Church for any purpose whatsover to use incense celemonially by carrying it in pro- cession, or by censing persons or things to mix water with wine ceremonially by doing it during the office." These are specific illustrations of a Ritual which does not con- form to the Prayer Book. The significance of such acts is doubtless to be found in the doctrinal leanings of those who practise them but if these acts are to be made a matter of conscience, there is the prior fact that admission to the ministry was condi- tioned by a sacred promise not to perform them-not, that is, to go boycnd or behind the manual of ceremonial which the Church of England has made her own. The Primate appeals to the extremists as men of honour, and we would fain hope that the appeal will not have betn made altogether in vain. On other important points the Archbishop has also spoken with the weight which attaches to his offi 3 and his learning. He has set forth vuat the Church of England teaches concerning the Eucharist, and concerning the system of private confession, and in respect to each of these vexed questions he has struck fearlessly and distinctly the Pro- testant note. The evils of habitual confes-' sion he described with characteristic, almost sledge-hammer force, and in no part of the Charge is Dr. Temple's admirable virility and common-sense better displayed than in this. His courageous, sterling utterance may carry dismay in some quarters but it will refreshen and strengthen the religious heart and mind of this country.
NOTES & NOTIONS. *
NOTES & NOTIONS. Aid. Tutton has declined, so it is said, to ccept the Mayoralty. The offer was made tj him unanimously ard spontaneously, and it re- ceived the warm approval of all sections of the obdurate. We should like to see the Alderman in the Civic Chair. He would, we believe, fill it with that good sense and dignity characteristic cow munity. Acompliment has been paid Mr.Tuttcn whichfalls to the lot of few men.And yet he remains of him. The recognition of this fact makes his reported refusal of the offer all the more to be regretted. It appears to us that Mr. Tutton has gone too far. By his protracted official silence he has placed the Council in a somewhat awkward position—a position which will become more than awkward if he persists in his deter- mination not to accept the Chief Magistracy. For the sake of the office, therefore, and for the sake of the dignity of the Corporation, we hope he will yet see his way clear to meet the wishes of his cc leagues and the town generally. In our report in last week's issue of the remarks made by Colonel Morgan at the Scientific Society's meeting at Bishopston and of which one of the hon. sees., Dr. A. Lloyd Jones, supplied us with the notes we published, we therein mentioned the remark- able find of palissading in the parapet of the Old Castle. Since that meeting the Rev. Thos. Robinson has made a cast in plaster of Paris of those impressions, discovered in that portion of the clayey bank excavated, and this unique cast is now on view at the Royal Institution. All this work of the S.S. Society, we are proud to record, has been achieved out of the same purse that bore the expense of the excavations at Peter's Well Field a few years ago and the Scientific Society is to be congratulated on having a liberal gentleman like Colonel Morgan as its President to thus enhance its interests and at the sa e time to relieve its exchequer. Dr. Couch and his family have the sympathy of all Swansea in the sad bereavement which has so mysteriously overtaken them. Mr. Llewelljn Couch went down with the ill-fated Mo egan, manfully doing his duty. In the hour Oi. dire peril his first concern was for the safety of the passengers, and in the heoric per ormance of his duty he shared the fate of other brave men. Mr. Couch was a fine, manly young fellow. Brave intelligent, gentlemanly, he has, as many others have done before him, proved :that English sea- men know how to die. We extend our sincere sympathies to Dr. Couch-one of Swansea's most I respected medical men and his family. Dr. Rawlings has intimated that it rests with the electors of the St. Helen's Ward as to whether or not he will continue a member of the Corporation. The doctor is a lovable character, an upright, conscientious public man, an enthusiastic social reformer, and a credit to the f honourable profession of medical men. He is urgently needed in the Council Chamber, and we feel confident that the electors of the St. Helen's Ward will do the right thing on the 9th November. Lady Llewelyn has convened a meeting r* ladies to commence the necessary arrangements for the forthccming Hospital Ball. Last year her ladyship rendered very valuable aid. She threw her whole heart into the effort to augment the funds of our chief charitable institution. The same may be said of the Hon. Violet Vivian, Miss Dillwyn, Mrs. H. J. Bath, Mrs. Aeron th°maS' MrS' W' C°X' MrS' Bradford- and 0 hers. We have no doubt the same tact, energy and thoughtfulness will be evidenced in con- nection with the next annual Hospital Ball. Since the Mumbles Council is determined to do nothing but levy and collect rates, a correspon- dent suggests that Col. Pike, who now resides at Langland, should be asked to place his services at the disposal of the ratepayers. His presence and influence on the Council might rssult in the abandonment of the present policy of neglect. Col. Pike is a director of the Langland Bay Hotel Company, which contributes a good round sum annually to the rates. Yet Langland Bay is not provided with a single lamp, while its roads are shockingly neglected. We fear a much greater power than Col. Pike would be necessary to arouse the majority of the Mumbles' Coun- cillors to a proper sense of their duty. The spectacle of two public bodies, each passionately claiming to represent the ratepayers of Swansea with unimpeachable integrity, employ- ing counsel to oppose one another at a Govern- ment enquiry is the Michaelmas absurdity promised to a long-suffering community. If Mr. W. H. Mill reflects the opinions of his confreres, the Swansea Board of Guardians seems to cherish the notion that the Corporation is a grasping, g/eedv, scandalous conspiracy against the beautiful perfection of their own administra- tion. For the sake of public peace Mr. Mill must be told that the Board of Guardians is no better and no worse than the Corporation. If the Guardians pay more miserable salaries than the Corporation, then we advise Mr. Mill not to proclaim it from the house-tops. It is no credit we assure him. And since the Government auditor denies them a higher luxury than 15s. per day will purchase in London, the railing against the Corporation's more reasonable scale of expenses sounds fu too much like the sour grapes legend to be welcome to the public ears. The Corporation trips to London, as a "public scandal," will be eclipsed by the promised fight between the Corporation and the Guardians over the unification of parishes, which was the subject of a few interesting remarks at Wednesday's Corporation meeting. It is the duty of the Guardians," declared the chairman of their Finance Committee not long ago, "to employ an eminent solicitor to conduct the case against the corfiscators." We imagine the popular conception of duty is for t^e Guardians and the conifscators to put their heads together and discuss the pros. and cons., apart from the selfish consideration of the power which each body stands to lose or gain. For our own pait, we have strongly favoured amalgama- tion of parishes e\ er since we drew public atten- tion to it two years ago, as a means towards simplifying and, therefore, cheapening the cost of rate-collecting, aad the arguments with which Mr. Mill induced the Board of Guardians to rush headlong into opposition have not shaken our conviction. The bait of "large compensation and employment under us said to have been dangled by the Coipocation before the gaping mouths of the collectors, may bo dismissed as fiction. It is hardly tempting enough to the collectors of the Guardians. As for "larsre compensalion," there is the probability that, in the long run, it would be more than covered by the saving derived from unification, and in any case the sooner the question cf compensation is faced the better for those who will have to pay it. These are points which seem to us suitable for amicable aad intelligent discussion between the Guardians and the Corporation. For the bodies to criticise end treat each other as if they were rivals is nothing less than crass stupidity. We hope, for the sake of the Llangyfelach District Council, that Colonel Wright will be prevailed upon not to peisist in his intention to resig l hi3 seat on that body. He is hard- headed, broad-midded and practical, and he can ill be spaced from an authority which by n" means possesses a plethora of capable business men. Short of some extraordinary folly or carelessness on their own parts, cf which such trained experts are not in the least likely to be guilty, it is highly improbable that the thieves of the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland's jewels will ever be discovered. The diamonds have probably been already removed from their settings, which will have been melted down. So deft a robbery can hardly have been the work of one man, aad it is likely enough that the whole thing was planned in London, and that the Duchess and her party were closely watched during the whole time of their absence from home. It is not sufficiently realised that thieves who fly at such high game as £20,000 or £30,000 worth of jewels, are always at least as clever as the police, and often a good deal more so, and able to make as good and un- suspicious an appearance in an hotel or on a railway platform as anybody else. The Duchess's valuables seem to have been dealt with all through in a very casual fashion, it not being considered worth while for anybody to mount guard over them. Even a receptacle containing notes and gold was left lying on the seat of the railway carriuge. If the owners of costly jewels watched them as carefully as the thieves do there would be little chance of their being stolen. One cross, two crosses, three crosses." Thus Mr. Freeman at Wednesday's meeting of the j Council. Members stared at him and then at each other. "One cross, two crosses, three crosses P" What did he mean? Was he struggling with a love-letter, or what ? Suddenly the truth dawned upon Capt. Sinclair. Double x you mean, Mr. Freeman." Yes, that was what he meant. The Council roaied until its sides ached. And then the chairman of the Water and Sewers Committee proceeded to explain that som8 of the members of his committee had waxed very eloquent over the various qualities of "two crosses, or rather dcuble x," in their desire to secure what they considered was the best beer to provide at the Cray canteen. The ex-Mayor learnedly explained to Mr. Freeman th°.t two crosses" meant "double x." "I have no doubt you are a great authority on the subject," retorted Mr. Freeman. Aid. Leeder could not, of course, allow the opportunity to slip away. It only shows Mr. Freeman's ignorance," he said. Aid. Tutton followed this up by remark- ing: "After the lamentable ignorance displayed by the Chairman of the Committee I do not feel tempted to question him on some other points in the minutes. I am of a. charitablo disposition, however, and will not accept his assumed ignor- ance concerning the double x'es." The determination of the Trustees to do every- thing possible to bring the port up to modern-day requirements has the warm approval of the whole of Swansea. As we have so frequently asserted, to stand still in these days of keen competition is to go back. And especially is this true as regards our ports. Look where we will, we S3e signs of activity and progress. Swansea should not lag behind, and neither will she so long as the Harbour Trustees persist in their present spirited policy. We have already expressed our views concerning the new entrance to the South Dock, but we feel constrained to refer to a letter which appears in this issue over the nom de plume of An old Salt." The writer has had long and intimate experience of our harbour. He is highly intelli- went, and his nautical views on the Harbour Trust's scheme are entitled to every considera- tion. Old Salt" contends that the scheme ia nautically sound, and that the difficulties raised by Aid. Tutton and his friends are imaginary.
