A GOOD SOCIAL WORK. Before describing these, ju.,t a \vor4 may k said iis to the mature tit the "Wink, 'carrieH on in the Clmnh Army Labour Hows. Per- haps- this can best he summed ttp in the Army's own words:—"far 'greaK:r Miccees has been achieved than was ever anticipated, and our system of takiiig men eiff the rates, soaking titem ratepayers, and. we trust, citi- yeiV h f\"¡!<f>ol World, now waits only the *iy funds for such extensive develop- s&*ikt u& will convince men everywhere th?t the N»«r>»Ei] 'Llif.rch, with her provincial diocesen and |>im>civinJ organisation, is cap- able oi .leJtlinf etf^gtuaUy with the most piss- ing sucKikprotfieiit-* of the times."

Straight war he is w.tsheel «3id fed, and then set to work at wood- chopping, window cleaning, and so on. For this work, he i- paid wages, and at the end -of tfcc week he has to pay for his board and lodging .at the nominal rate of 6s. per week. Mis earnings over and above that sum are Siven to him, <"r put by till th? time he has pcidesd to leave the Homes, having probablv ctbbined by this time ordinary employment. 'Chough 'the wcrk is one of dwritv--for it oasts the Chuech Army a big sum of money to run the Hinp.es—yet it will be seen that it does not jjauperj^e a roan. At the .same time the "hea'lthy a-tme-sphere which surrounds the individual, morally, as well as physically, -♦end* towards the uplifting of those whose lot it is to need the conifort., of a home.

Talbot i Tlioe. entered the "Talbot" Cliup.d, wliic-.h was fined to over-flowing. The service was a J 1 &hort vae, cui'-i h-'giii with flie singing of "Tiuv í hurch's "• h ,e fl)un;lntion," and the reading of _^»on (Kings I., viii., 22-35). The L-J% I'albot Rice said ;—"Reverend Father in <l0cv- n the name and on behalf of the. Church Army. I request you to bless this chap-i and to iedicate it to the service and worship of Al- mighty God. Bishop t-ien, after pravers, pronounced the dedication. In a brief a,ddres, before the close, the Bishop spoke of He who came to seek and Sxive that which was lost, and Gods infinite [ove. To seek and save should also be the object of similar sympathy, and love on the part cf all His people. If we loyt Him must strive to kee-p His comn\arar,h'.ni,, all(j I this was His commandment abcivc all. "Love one aiiotVivt, even I love you In dedi- cating this dwpd, let them think of th-at ati^ what a Valuable" help the Home would V. to woi-k for the object ior which Christ) came. The Bishop n-s/ked them to ienie^r the Home I'firticulftily in their fA'a^ers. Ever since he come to the former H'ovne, two years ago, ho bad not 1-ost the Impression then formed, that it was really doing Chnst's work —the •work in which CvVvh could lielp by their pr^vevs as well as ia other wavs. the service ch/s<-<\ with the blessing. !rr. Radcliffe foTganist at. St. Mary's) pr i\ded at the tvrgan. Subsequently standing on the landing tfut- side the chapel, the Bishop in declaririg the Institution. <ipen, said bow very glad lie was to go ever the building. Two years ago. when he visited "the old Home, he felt very strong- ly that 15". liel,pirig people to make a hvsh start in life, the influence of um ouiidhvgs was a verv important mitter, indeed, and though at tVifit time he thought how suitable Capt. Spicer and his wife wtr. for t'he work they hax1 to do in their devotion to the Juties and taviV skill he did feel the troilc could not very well lie done as it ought to be in a town like- Swansea, in the old building. H.—and he was sure others with him-—were thankful that a convenient and suitable house had be» u pro- vided. They recognised the Svlf-Sacrifice and the energy of the committee in bringing the present state of things about, and realised the great value of the services-of Mrs. Kbenezet* Davies. Mr. Arthur fY('n.'J\Ir. Portsmouth, Mr. Joseph Hall, Col. Morgan, and others, and he thought he was not betraying a secret when he stated that the heaviest part of the work had fallen upon Mrs. Davits and Mr. Arthur Eden. His Lordship referred to the numerous gifts bv friends, and instanced that the Bishop of had given the pic- tures in the reading-roon) downstairs. His Lordship understood that £1,30J had already been collected for the building fund, which was a good sum, but ht' also understood a similar amount was still further required though a little less than JEil.500 more would do. But in buildings there wtue always "extras," and he did not think it would be a. bad idea to have a little balance in hand. He hoped thev would bear that fact in mind, and, tliat in the course of the nest time or four years at the outside the debt would be en- tirely cleared away. He noticed in the ac- counts there was 'an unusual deficit, and the. headquarters of the Church Army made that up every year. But surely Swansea, was too great a town in every way to be helped from London in a work like that. The town was famous for its philanthropic institutions, and lie appealed to them to see tc it tliat Swansea Churchmen shouM not lie longo; under the reflection that they did not cover II the cost of that most valuable work yearly. In con- clusion, His Lordship asked those interested to support in the work in every way they could. After the pronouncement oi the bene- diction. The Mayor moved ill verv hearty vote of thanks to the Bishop for his presence, who had come, no doubt at great inconvenience, to carry out a labour of love. He was sure that they all recognised that in addition to being a great Churchman, the Bishop was also a f, greaf financier, and his Worship trusted the t wore' tliat had fallen would bear fruit. The Institution was a noble one. and deserved all the srpport of the people of the town of Swans.a. His Worship was sure they all de- sired those who had fallen once might not al- ways continue in despond, and the Home affordtd discharged prisoners and others who had fallen to commence life afresh. The motion having been carried, the pro- ceedings then terminated.

---I SWANSEA TELEPHONES CHAIRMANSHIP.
I SWANSEA TELEPHONES CHAIR- MANSHIP. Dispute Between Messrs Solo" M and Mackie. a- Temporary Arrangement to the Friction. A mevt'/jf tlig ^-le phones C'omp- it tee: of the :5"¡UhSN\ Corporation was held Tuesday cC-rnoon. Mf. Solomon having i-esigned the ciiaimtaiisltip at the previous meeting, Mr. Sok>ft\on's letter announcing his resig- nation caressed extreme regret that the step was necessary, as he bad been so closely identified with the movement. He should have liked to have retained office until the department would be able to relieve the rates, but "now that the manager has taken the bit between his teeth, and not only ignores the chairman, but omits to consult the engineer, who is responsible "for the carrying out of the work," lie cannot defend the management M Council meetings. Mr. Solomon eontmu-d that he ha.s sent the newspaper cutting rela- tive to the manager's statement that he was not con-sulted as to the tender for telephone- ducts, to Mr. "Bennett, who would inform the Committee what had taken place at a. conver satiofi (between the three. With reference tc; the manager's statement that he did not examine the work when asked because lie liad; been told he was no engineer. Mr. Solomon remarks that as some members "seem to tlunk that the manager was the manager and engi neer at Guernsey before coming to Swansea. it is otily right they should know- that Mr. R. McLean occupied that position, and still holds it." 'Providing, concludes the letter, that the Committee Insist upon fuller reports from the manager upon the many matters lie did not refer to at all, and a clear understanding that the Committee be consulted oftener thin at present, there would be no reason to doubt the success of the undertaking, and he would be glad to remain a member of the Commit- tee, but he was not willing to be a party to the transferring of the responsibilities of man- agement, which rightly belong to directorate or committee, to a manager. Mr. Bennett wrote stating that the state- ment that Mr. Mackie had not been consult- er about the tramway ducts was untrue and absurd. Mr. Mackie then dealt with Mr. Solomon's letter, and said at the last meeting Mr. Ben- nett attended the Chairman never asked i is opinion at that time how the work was going on, and no question had ever been put to the speaker or had anyone ever accused the man- ager of not doing his work properly, so he failed to see why he was accused of taking the bit between his teeth. As regards the ducts he was appointed by the Committee to go with the Chairman, Consulting Engineer, and Electrical Engineer. Mr. Bennett and the Chairman discussed certain figures, the 11 exact amount of which he did not know. The next week he went to see the laying of the ducts, and he found' it was not the intention of the Electrical Engineer to lay the telephone ducts in the same trench as had been opene.l, but to lay the telephones under the pavement. If they were laid there, there would be ro saving to the Committee, as a second trench would be necessary. Mr. Mackie intended to bring the matter before the Committee that day. The Chairman had never asked him what business was going to be brought forward at the meetings, and consequently he was in complete ignorance, and submitted reports which be thought the Committee wanted. There was nothing he knew that he had left out of his reports he did not know whether the Committee wanted longer ones. The Consulting Engineer had never com- plained to him. Mr. Solomon had said he was not an engineer, but there had never- been the slightest question about that. At the same time he should like to know who had been the engineer in Swansea who had supervised the erection work and had taken the responsibility? He pointed out the Com- mittee had never taken tim to task, and the Chairman at the Council meetings had always stated the scheme was going along well, and had spoken of him as being au able manager. In reply to the Chairman of the meeting, Mr. Mackie said he had never refused to wive a report to the Committee, neither had the Chairman ever asked him to submit a report which he refused. Mr. Dan Jones thought it was a great. waste 11 as of time, and thought both very selfish. Mr. D. Davies said there was nothing seri- ous in the matter at all. It struck him the two gentlemen were rather too juvenile. The whole thing was that the two had failed to agree. That was a pity, because he be- lieved it was a misfortune to the town. It was a misfortune, because Mr. Solomon had given more time and trouble to the work than any other two men in Swansea. So far as he had been able to judge, Mr. Mackie was a good servant, and it was a pity the two had been squabbling over absolutely trivial mat- ters. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dryden said no concern could go en unless the Chairman and manager agreed. Mr. Corker likened it to a house divided against itself. Mr. Solomon, after asking fcr the Engi- neer's letters from January 1st (which the manager said contained nothing in the nature of a complaint, and which were in his office), Mr. Solomon said his point was that the man- ager did not fully take into his confidence the whole of the Committee that he did not re- port fully on matters which were of import- ance to the Committee, and that he did not consult the Engineer and send on his reports to that gentleman every week as he should do. The speaker alleged that on a certain occasion Mr. Mackie wrote for a cable of the wrong specification, but— Mr. Mackie replied that Mr. Solomon was entirely wrong. Mr. Davies asked Mr. Solomon whether he considered Mr. Mackie a competent and efficient manager. Mr. Solomon said he did not think any man would deliberately accuse him of trying" to do 11 I- f) any man an injustice, lie had not one word to say against Mr. Mackie, as he was, but the longer he had been there the more difficult ho had become. He did n(;t admit Mr. Mackie was an engineer, and if Mr. Mackie would speak the truth he would say he was a cleifc or cashier before he came to Swansea. Two matters must be cleared up before he would consent- to withdraw his resignation. The speaker had been called a "liar." Mr. If. Davies Everyone has been eallod that. King David sacd all men are liars. (Laughter.) Mr. Solomon said he was not goincr to allow any omeial to can him that when he"!wd truth on his side. Mr. Davies: Let's have done with these it tie bickerings? Mr. Solomon said his other point was that Mr. Mackie must deal with matters more fully in. his reports concerning the depart- ment. and must be more ready to eorhsult' the Engineer. Mr. Mackie, in reply to the Chairman of the meeting, said ho was prepared to work with the Chairman with as much' zeal and earne.stness as hitherto, and Mr. Solomon said he was prepared to work with the manager as earnestly is before pro- viding the points he had made were conceded. He b licvcd the success or failure of the scheme depended upon having more matters of detail presented. Mr. D. Griffitlis said Mr. Solomon had never complained of that before. Mr. Solomon said he had put np with a good ded for the sake of peace outside the Committee. After further discussion, Mr. Davies wai elected to the chairmanship of the Committ. e and Mr. Soiomon vice-ch.tirma.n, this arrnng. m.ent being come to in the liope that the fr<c- tion would be put "ii fMsci to, wlnn it is understood Mr. Solom- n will a .-a: n resume his duties L-; Chairman.

CONVALESCENT HOMES INCIDENT
CONVALESCENT HOMES INCIDENT Miss Dillwyn Withdraws from the Fund. Swansea Hospital Board met on Wednes- day. Mr. H. Goldberg presiding- Miss Dillwyn wrote regarding th-- Gon- valee.-ent Home Fund. She said she was about to cease her personal efforts, and would hand over the balance of 980 or JB90. In another letter to the chairman Miss Dill- wyn --said that at the last meeting she was refused four indoor tickets in respect of two donations of £100, and considered that if she went to law on the point she would win under the interpretation of Rule 3, which stated that for each donation of n'ot less than JB50 to the funds of the hospital the donor would become a life governor and entitled to indoor tickets. The Chairman expressed sinc^re ^gret ,at the action Miss Dillwyn had taken. There was no idea of depriving her of her legal rights, and asked her to withdraw her re- signation. Her withdrawal would be a cal- aiuitv. Miss Dillwyn smd she could not. The circumstances of the retusa1 to her of four tickets Avas made under a rule which could not be rescinded, and it had been dtcided that only bv a general board meeting could; that right she claimed be acceded to. Mr. Tucktield .said ho had moved the reso- lution on a broad principle. He did not think Miss Di'lwyn had any particular griev- ance, and she looked en the matter in an en- tirely wrong light. Colonel Morgan said Miss Ddlwyn Wa.\t not alone. Sir John Llewelyn, one of the most generous supporters of the hospital for years, was only appointed a governor last year. Miss Dillwyn said that because an injus- tice had been done fo: many years it wis no reason why it. should continue. Cokrnel Morgan gave notice of motion that Side 3 be made retrospective to 1896. Miss Dillwyn, however, persisted in her resignation. Thanks were conveyed to the Ladies' Com- mittee of the Hospital Balls and to Messrs. Moss and Stoll, Air. Albert Mitchell, and the artistes of the Empire matinee. The committee appomted to inquire into the causes of the resignations of resident medical officers found that the two doctors were overworked. They therefore recom- mended that another resident officer be ap- pointed and that more comfortable quarters be found. The committee's recommendation was ac- cepted nem. con. Mr. D. W. Hughes mc^ed that outdoor patients requiring treatment in the wards be admitted on the recommendation of the medical officer in attendance only. Dr. Lancaster said that the motion was most refreshing. It was not long since that the medical staff had been accused of job- bery in getting out-patients into the wards. Now Mr. Hughes wanted them to job d- waj s. (Laughter.) Mr. Hughes I object to the term job- bery. Dr. Lancaster I'm not sure Mr. Hughes wasn't the very man to accuse us of it. (Laughter.) Mr. Hughes: That was before I was born —(laughter)—as a meml..er i f the board. Mir. Tuckfield asked that Mr. Hughes give notice to introduce an alteration. Mr. Hughes acquiesced, ;.ntl Mr. Tuckfield was appointed on the House Committee in place of Rev. Father Hurley, who has left Swansea.

ISWANSEA TOWN COUNCIL.
I SWANSEA TOWN COUNCIL. Mr. Martin's Cry for Economy. 0110,354 to be Spent on Wood Paving; Swansea Town Council met on Wednesday, the Mayor presiding. MANDAMUS MUDDLE. The ciecisaoin of the General Purposes Com- mittee that 1:>0 further action be taken in connection with the mandamuis, led Mr Tutton to remark that it was no use dig- ging up a dead dog as the matter had been settled at Caidiff. FIRE ESCAPES. The Watch Committee recommended that a hot* cart and escape be purcibascd for C'wm- bwrla. Mr. Morris urged the mcessity cf providing escapes at Lanidore and Monistoin. A mum- oer of people were lie knew willing to work them if given instructions. The Watch Committee will con-ider the matter. INSPECTION OF LCCEXSED HOUSEvS. Upon the Watch Committee minute in- struetaig tilse Chief-constable to enquire and report a.4 to the methods of police inspection of licensed houses in vogue in Manchester, Mr. Hopkin enquired as to the mode of in- spection; whether it was confined to hotels or public-housfc*; and whet liter it was ai- tended to go right through the wih'ole of the borough and -inspect other licensed hoe."e." for tiie sale of refreshments, particularly coffee taverns and ice-cream shops? The M: lyor pointed out it was an enquiry at Manchester. Mr. Hopkin said he would defer the~matter since it would' come up again. MR. MARTIN'S NOTE OF WARNING. Mr. Ma itin, in moving the adoption of the Finance Committee's minutes, said there was a large increase in the estimates for 1904-5 as against 1903-4, which was mainly due to the expense at Cray Works. They were Le- ginning to feel the pinch, and it was an ex- pense which was going to grow. £ 500,000 would be required, and not £ 270,000 as esti- mated primarily. He advocated each mem- ber seeing that a due eye to economy w-.ii kept, lie desired to save Swansea fiom be- coming a bye-word amongst towns for extra- vagance. Mr. Hopkin said a great deal of was!age and leakage was going on, and members h. no opportunities of putting their fingers on the spot. He mentioned that the (Streets Committee since the advent of Mr. Corker on the committee had saved a considerabh- sum in haulage, Mr. Corker being a practical contractor. Mr. Hopkin urged that by the provision of a central store a further saving of £ 3,000 or £4.000 a vear would be effected. STREET PAVING. The Streets Committee recommended thai application be made to borrow £10.354 for the wood paving of Wind-street, Castle- square. Castle Bailey-street, Temple-street, and Oxford-street, to Dillwyn-street, and the paving with granite setts of Quay Parade, Lower Oxford street, Harbour Trust-road, and those parts of streets where loop lines came into close proximity to the kerb. Mr. Martin could not see i.he justification of the expense. Mr. Mirrells said the policy of the Streets Committee was virtually settled by the Tram- ways Committee, and it would be folly to suggest that granite setts be ii.,ied instead ot wood. Mr. Tutton said it was a policy of drift. Other streets had been taken in besides the original streets. He never knew Bryn-road had been taken in to be wood paved- Pro- bably other parts of the town needed im- provements. too. Mr. Merrells said it. was not intended to ptve pait of Riyn-road with wood. Mr. D. Davies said the Council had heard a good many complaints as to the condition of main streets. Now the point was. were the Council prepared to make that outlay to im- prove the condition of the streets. If so. it ended the matter, and also the grumbling. Hon. Odo Vivian, who learned that the (x- penditure was not included in the estimates, moved that the mat.ter be referred back to commirte? for report on cost and up-keep. Mr. Merrells said the matter had been dis- cussed fully. Delay was due to the absence of the Surveyor. Now as the tram lines were being laid it was thought opportune to get the work through which had been decided last Juno, and have the whole thing done at the same time. Aid. iI. Watkins seconded Hon. Odo Viv i aii's n.C'tdon. Ho.i Odo Vivian said (after Mr. Sinclair had renarked that the Oxford-street works could not progress till the sanction of the Board oi Trade had been obtained) that it would be w.;se to defer the matter till more ngures were forthcoming. Ald-^HbMel Watkins agreed with the Hon. ucio v lvian anrl thought the purveyor should get experiences of other towns. ^.r- lutton said a test of wood paving was outsu.e the Guildhall. He -now particulars of difference and cost and undc.- the circumstances that day he did not feel fitted to give a vote. He did not knew how far the Streets and Electrical Committees were working together in the matter. Mr. D. Davies said months ago it was ie eided the work should be done in this way. At the present moment they were considering the means of raising the necessary capital. Was the work going to be done without pay- ing and without getting the necessary capital? Last June the matter" was exhaustively dis- cussed bv the Streets Committee, and the Sur- veyor prepared an elaborate report. The- pro- per time for raising the question was when the Streets Committee minutes had previous- ly conte up for confirmation. The cost of the main streets of Cardiff, including increased capital cost, and increased permanent charges upon the roads in the way of interest and sinking fund, represented 30 per cent, more t hill Swansea streets. But nothing would induce C-ardiff people to go back to granite setts in the main streets of the town. Mr. Menvlls was extremely sorry the Sur- veyor was away, but months before be left, he (Mr. Merrells) had asked hi in to give the mat- ter his best attention. Mr. Swarbrick had promised to do so since. Hon. Odo Vivian subsequently consented to alter his amendment e xcluding Lower Oxf jrd- street. Mr. Martin asked' if it were a fact that Wind-street. Castle-square, Castle Bailey- street, and T..O\Y\'r Oxford-s-troet were to le wood paved. He could not find any minutes relative to it. He warned the Corporation solemnly that they would have the town about their 0 ;IS, "I assure you, Mr. Mayor, we can't afford it You ca.'t't live like a gentle- man (Ill an nrtizan's wage." Mr. Tutton nsked if it were necessary to use a roller. Mr. Merrells Yes. Mr. Tutton I'm surprised at you not know- ing vour own work. Mr. D. Davies queried the validity of the amendment, bearing hi mind the resolution of June 23rd list. 0 The Town Clerk said it was perfectly valid, bat eventually the tecomuiendation of the Streets Committee was adopted. BAXK HOLIDAY EISTEDDFODAT". The South Wales Musical Competitive Asso- ciation wrote asking for the use of the Swan- sea Market on August Bank Holiday, for the purpose of ail Eisteddfod IU. Mr. Tutton said Sir Geo. Newnes was <1.);- nounced to preside and that gentleman was well known. Mr. C. W. Laird was also a chairman. Mr. D. Davies: Another gentleman well- known to us. (Laughter.) Mr. Tut I on characterised that as a very rambling statement by Mr. D. Davies. (Laughter.) Inquiries were made as to whether the venture was a private one, but no informa- tion was forthcoming, and eventually the request was referred to the Genera! Purposes' Committee. SEWER EXTENSION. Mr. Tutton. speaking on the Water and Sewers Committee' minutes, moved an amendment to the resolution that applica- tion to borrow £ 12.500 to extend the Mount- street six-foot sewer be made. He wished it referred back to committee, as they had no reliable estimate, and it was not likely to cure the evils wi.-bc-d to be overcome. The ^ewa-^e under this scheme would, lie said, be taken out into the navigable channel to <he great deft intent of the hown. He under- stood the cost to be £ 12,000. Mr. Martin fceconded,. Hon. Odo Vivian said reliable figures were obtainable, and the engineer had told the committee that the cost would be £ 12,497. They had previously estimated £ 12,500. He advocated prompt action. If the minute were referred back, the commit- tee would only send it up again. Continuing, Mr. Vivian said lie had been informed that when the deputation waited upon the Board of Trade Mr. Tutton had said the Fishery interest was a small one, and nothing to the interests of the town. It could be bought up. Mr. Tutton: Mr. Vivian is making mis- z!l statements. Mr. Vivian: Do you deny it? Mr. TuKson: You are making misstate- ments. Mr. Vivian: I am glad to hear it. I sup- pose T may taka it as a denial. The Board of Trade will be glad to hear it. jxr. Tutton What I have sadd is cn record. 1 have said it in this chamber. What I said was that the health of 100,000 people was of more importance than a few oysters. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Martin described the present scheme as a waste of money it was no case. The amendment was carried. GREENHOUSES IN PARKS. The Parks Committee recommended that application be made to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow L130 for th- provision of two greenhouses in Brynniill Park. Mr. Vivian could not see the use of green houses in public parks, which the public were not admitted to. lie moved the deh-tion of the minute. Mr. Morgan Hopkin seconded. Mr. R. Martin supported, terming a green- house a luxury. I. Mr. D. Jones thought it would be a pity to delete the minute. The greenhouses were for propagating purposes. Mr. Cadwalladr concurred with Mr. Jones' view. Mr. Tutton supported the deletion. Mi. D. Davies said some time ago the Coun- cil went to the expense of engaging an expert to assist in putting the parks in order. He advised them that if they wanted to conduct the parks economically the recommendation was one way of doing Jt. and so save sums constantly dribbling out in plants. Tlie parks already showed evidence of a good man being in charge, and thev should not cripple the ex- pert, but if they thought fit, provide only one greenhouse this year. The outlay wou!d not involve any extra. Voour, and the expert [1.;]- vised that the course suggested was essential to the economical maintenance of the park- By refusing to act fin the advice the Council would be committing an act of txtravagance. The proposal to delet" altogether was lost. Mr. Vivian mowd that J865 be allowed for one greenhouse. Mr. Tutton seconded, and this was carried ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION. In presenting the ninnies of the Electric Lighting and Tramway Committee. Mr. Sin- clair (the Chairman) said the consumption would he quiU, 60 per cent. increase on last year, and although the price per unit would not come out so well, yet he was pleased to say the committee would be able to pay their interest and charges and have a little to spare. CHARCTES OF CURRENT. Mr. Sinclair stated! that the Corporation were under agreement- to the Tramway Com- pany to supply current for working tihe MOT- riston and Brynhyfryd sections, and the prices arrived at were as follows:—For a minimum of 200,000 units per aniuum, 11d. per n.nr.t; for the next 150,000 units in the same year, I 13-I6d. per unit; for the next 150,000 units in the same year.

- THE JAPANESE ARMY
THE JAPANESE ARMY SUBSIST UPON SEAWEED AND RICE. AS A CONSEQUENCE THEY ARE RE- MARKABLY FREE FROM STOMACH, KIDNEY, AND BLOOD DISEASES. The great strengthening and sustaining i>ower of Seaweed is proved by the fact that the Japanese Army subsists almost- entirely upon a mixture of Seaweed and rice. The species used is similar to that contained in Velio's Seaweed Tonic. Acoording to Dr. Kirilloff and other medical waiters the Japa- nese are remarkably free from blood diseases e. nd affections of the kidneys and stomach. As a. race they are noted for great activity of mind and body, physical endurance and stiength, attributed largely to their con- sumption of Seaweed. Dr. James Walker, kidney and urinary I New York, says; "I never treat eti-,eg where the kidneys, urinary organs or stomach arc involved without Seaweed, I regard it as indispensable." Tlie specks of Seaweed used by Dr. Wai- koi is the same as that contained in Veno's .Seaweed Tonic, viz., a deep-sea specimen obtained on the Pacific coi&t which possesses great strengthening, healing, and purifying properties. Venos Seaweed Tonic is the standard medicinal preparation of Seaweed, and is used largely by doctors and in hospi- tals for the euro of ailments arising from a diseased condition of the stomach, liver, kidneys and Hood.

"The Eternal City.
"The Eternal City. MR. TREE'S COMPANY COMING TO THE SWANSEA "GRAND." A special attraction is o.».pd for the Grand Iheatre, Swansea, next week, when Mr. Beerbohm Tree s company will present, "The Eternal City," by Hall Caine. How great has been the success achieved by the play since its first production by Mr. Tree at Her Majesty's Theatre need not here be more than briefly referred to. Its popularity has been as evident in the larger provincial towns as in London and across the Atlantic, and local theatre-goers will, we are sure, wel- come the opportunity now afforded them of forming impressions of the powerful story so vividly recorded by the author. In the book Mr. Caine relied for his "atmosphere" on the life in the streets of Rome, on the des- criptions of the fierce struggle for liberty by the democracy, and on the never-ceasing conflict between St. Peter's and the Royal Palace. To reproduce this back-ground and environment, both author and manager have had chiefly to rely upon carefully copied scenes, and upon the music and the costumes with which the production has been en- dowed. The play, pure and simple, is pre- sented as one of strong human passions, in which the f'ltcs and characters of the prin- cipal people are worked out through the web of circumstances in which they have become entangled. There has been no intention, a" there has been no thought, of wounding 01 even arousing any political or religious sus- ceptibilities. The controversy which has arisen around some points has been as painful to author and manager as it was unexpected. Of course, it was not to be expected that the drama could equal in size and detail the seven hundred closely printed pages of the book. Most ot the political and religious details with which the novel abounds had to be left aside, while the play was confined to a largo love story which is the real kernel of both. w Except so far, then, as the relations between the Quirinal and the Vatican, and the posi tion of the play, no question of Italian poli- tics or of Roman Catholic doctrine is handled in it. The company is a powerful one, and includes Mr. S. T. Ewart, as Baron "Bon- efi" Mr. Douglas Gerrard, as "David Rossi"' Mr. C. Howitt, as "Pope Pius IN Mr. (' Gray, as "Bruno Rocco' Miss Essex Dane, as "Donna Fonia" Miss L. Stephens, as "Nattalnia and Miss Vera Kingstord, as "l>rnne> s wife.

Borough Extension Proposed.
Borough Extension Proposed. At Swansea, Council meeting on Wednes- day Mr. Morgan Hopkin moved that, in the opinion of this Comic- it is necessary and advisable that the boundaries of the borough should bo extended, and that a special com- mittee be appointed to consider and report upon the subject. Ho said it was a most important subject, and with the big events looming iu the future, a most expedient one. Mr. Merrells seconded. Mr. Tutton wished the subject referred luck to the Property and General Purposes Committee, and Mr. Devonald seconded. Mr. Davies wished an alteration in the form of motion, which he said committed the Corporation to the principle. Eventually the amendment was carried.
