-=== Interesting' Visitor to Neath. Among those that visited Neath Fair was Judge Harris, of Johnstown. America. In a conversation which the judge had with his old fnend "Cynalaw," whom ne caned to sae at Briton Ferry, he stated that 45 years had elapsed since his last visit to the fair. It has evidently l';6t but little, if any, of its popularity in the long mtRT- Tal. The streets of old eeem^d to be more crowdtd, if anything, but as "Cynalaw pointed out the streets at that time were narrower than now, and the fair is now held in a larger field. Judge Harris was one of those who suf- fered terribly in the Johnstown flood. He lost his home and all his family, with the exception of one son, and that son he him- self grasped from the flood, not knowing at the time it was his own child.

RUSSIAN JEWS' PROTEST. Swansea Association's Meeting* in Their Aid. A public meeting under the auspices ot the Swansea branch of the Russian Jewf Self-defence Association was held at the Al- bert Minor Hall on Sunday afternoon. -The objects of the association are to 'provide the victims of persecution in Russia vitli the means of self-defence," and the Swansea branch was initiated on August 27th. There was a good gathering present, ,o.np :Slng apparently all nationalities and crowds, 111' cluding Councillors Cadwalladr and Lovell, and on the platform Revs. S. Fyne and Tu- dor Jones, Mr. B. and Miss L. Shepherd (secretaries), and Mr. Mat Giles. Mr. S. Green (who presided) explained that the association was a charitable organ isation, established in many towns in the United Kingdom, to enable Russian Jews to defend uieir rights against opponents who made use of misrepresentation and cal umny. Since the association had been form cd good news had been received from Rus sia in that Jews were to receive a little bet- ter measure of legislative representation He was glad, from a humanitarian point ot view, that peace had been concluded, but he had hoped that the Russians would have received another few thrashings in order io bring the Czar to his senses. (Laughter and cheers.) The Russian Jews did not want their freedom by bribery; they wanted their freedom the same as the other Czar's subjects, among whom none were more loyal than the Jews. It was useless, however, to expect the police to protect them, and thery fore an association of courageous young Jews had been formed to defend the Jewisn communities a.nd their property in times :.if Anti-Semitic riots, "by any means and by all means." The movement did not partaxe L of a revolutionary or socialistic character, but was purely one of self-defence. (Hear, hear.) The speaker instanced a recent case in. wHich the association had prevented an other probable Kishineff. Money collected for the association was sent to Switzerland and thence to Russia.. In concluding a vi- gcrous speech Mr. Green alluded to the un- usual loyalty of the Jews to the rulers n the countries they resided in.. All they wanted was freedom. (Applause.) -Rev. W. Tudor Jones said they read cnqugh in the Press of late to show them that it was their duty both as Jews and Christians in this country to band them- selves together to protect the Russian Jews. (Applau&e ) That was an extremelv inter- esting meeting, and it was a great credit t" the Jews of Swansea that they had brought together such a gathering. It showed them that such a meeting was possible nowadays without outsido interference. It showed how thoroughly, if slowly, they were learn- ing the lesson of religious toleration. (Ap- plause.) lie had come in contact with a large number of Russians on the Continent Intelligent young Russians had had to seek their education in Germany in consequence of the Russian colleges closing. He noticed with almost surprise how friendly these young Russians fraternised with Jews. Why not? Let them be Jews in the truest, fullest sense of the word; let Welshmen be real Welshmen; and let both act and work to- gether for the welfare of the world. But how was it these young men forgot they were "Russians and Jews?" Because it was oniy by escaping from the influence of the Russian orthodox Church of superstition and corruption that hope for Russia by means of her young men lay. If a religion taught them nothing of sympathy with peoples' troubles, it was not worth the getting. There must be more humanity, chivalry, and hon- our in their religion, and then the downtrod- t den people would begin to see the dawn of a brighter, happier, and nobler day. (Ap plausc.) r A collection having been made for the a3- sociation's funds, Rev. S. Fyne, who addressed his hearers as "Jews and Gentiles," said they were all there as brothers of the great British Em- pire. Tha meeting showed that there was Tosal sympathy with a downtrodden nation. The Jews in Russia had tried the policy of submission to oppression and injustice. They were now going in for retaliation—not a policy of revenge. That was not their idea for a, moment Russia, however, did not care one jot what became of her children so long as her Czar and Grand Dukes were maintained. Protest meetings and petitions were useless. Petitions never reached the Czar, Jews had bad enough of the "turn the other cheek" policy. They were going in for self-defence now, and it wofeld be eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand. (Applause.) If they as Gentiles believed that the Russian treatment of Jews was wrong, let them speak out to that effect loudly and unequivocally. (Applause.) The President said £1 ?s. 2d. had been collected, and he expressed thanks therefor. Mr Mat Giles said the Anti-Semitic move- ment was not unknown in this country. There was the Aliens Bill. It was the pol- icy of the Russians to set people at each other's throats. Russia was now outside the pale of civilisation, and in view of the censorship in Russia, things that leaked out must point to a far worse condition of things in that country than they could imagine. Mr. Giles worked in some Socialistic allu sions to "the right to live," and the bro therhood of man," and "capital and labour," and said he was there on behalf of his com- rades in expression of the "solidarity of sympathy." Mr. A. Levi proposed votes of thanks to the speakers.—Carried.

G.W.R. RAILWAY MEN'S GRIEV- ANCES. Mass Meeting1 Discuss Them at Swansea. At Swansea, Working Men's Club on Sun- day afternoon, the goods' guards, brakesmen, shunters, and signalmen of the Great Wes- tern Railway Company held a mass meeting for the purpose of considering the general manager's reply to their request for an inter- view. Mr. John Griffin (Swansea) presided, supported by Mr. H. A. Palmer (signalmen's delegate, Cirencester), Mr. T. Roes (shunters' delegate, Swansea), and Mr. C. W. Pick- wick (secretary), and there was a large and representative attendance, Neath, Port Tal- bot, Llanelly, Carmarthen, Whitland, New Milford, Llantrissant, Tonypandy, Amman- ford, and Bynea being all represented. The Chairman explained that it was a meeting of the grades mentioned of the South Wales districts. For a considerable time past they had been agitating for im- proved conditions of service, and in the first place they met the Board separately, but the outcome of it was that practically nothing was obtained from the interviews. Subse- quently it was decided to amalgamate the two forces in the hope that some concessions would be secured, and a reference of the matters to arbitration was suggested. The reply to that was that the Board-room was aJways open for any grievance to be heard. Then a further interview was proposed, but he thought it came as a thunderbolt to the great majority of the men who were watch- ing the movement, when the general mana- ger replied "that they did not consider there was anything further to be said in the mat- ter." The men's delegates had done all that was possible for them to do in regard to the matter, and it was now for them to still more combine their forces. They were bound to acknowledge that railwaymen had not advanced like other sections of the com- munity. Some of them were even worse off, whilst in the cases where increased pay had been given, that increase was not at all suffi- cient to cover the extra work and increased responsibility.^ When they saw goods' guards with 62s. a week replaced by men with a maximum of 25s., they might well ask where was it going to stop. It was the thin edge of the wedge for lower wages, and un- less they told the company that they did not intend to aJlow it, he was afraid that the 32s. a week goods' guard would be a thing of the past. To pay 25s. a week for the work, especially on the large brake vans of the present day, was dimply outrageous. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Palmer dealt at length with what he termsd "an extremely moderate pro gramme," and coming firstly to the goods guards' demands for an increase to 32s. per week exclusive of Sunday work, he admit- ted that the new chairman of the company was a broad-minded gentleman, who was ready to give more than a passing glance to the men s grievances. He gave ;\1r. Bell his assurance that there should be some re- form, but they had to thank the general manager of the company for keeping his caid up ks sleeve. It was a matter the rank and file must therefore take seriously to heart. (Hear, bear.) Dealing next with the signalmen's request for an all-round ad- vance of 3s. per week, Mr. Palmer mentioned that if there were 2,600 of the 2,690 signa- tories to that petition members of the Ama!- gamated Society of Railway Servants there would be no need of that meeting that after- noon, In 1 heir reply to the memorial the directors brought forward the hardy annual about the re-arrangement made a few years ago, in/oiving, they said, a large annual charge, and so be was thoroughly satisfied that the days of petitioning the large rail- way companies were over. They must strike if necessary, but he hoped that no occasion would ever arise when they should resort to such methods of attaining their ends, but that wiser coursels would rccognise that their only hope lay in f«iid organisation. He had .10 hesitation in saying that the ad- vance of 3s. per week was absolutely neces- sary, and when the delegates told the direc- tors hoV in some cases the men's wive? had to work 10 supplement their means of liveli- hcod, it had a lettle effect upon the hard- hearted board. (Hear, hear.) The rank &nd file had been disgusted, however, with the company's replies, and they had no one to thank but the general manager himself. He (Mr. Palmer) was personally of opinion that if it was possible to seek an interview with an impartial chairman and place their arguments before him, they would succeed in obtaining at least some of the concessions they asked for. The reference to the open door of the board-room was, he quite agreed, logically correct; but, after ail, it was a farce, for they were marched in 'ike convicts—had to take up their position and toe the line—and there were no opportuni- ties of taking notes unless the representa- tives of the company spotted them, and by their countenances almost terrorised them. It was true they were granted the interview, but, after all. it was a farce, and showed the great necessity there was of their strenu- ously advocating a board of conciliation. (Hear, hear.) However, he trusted they would enter a strong protest against the general manager evading the points at issue and refusing a second interview. (Ap- plause). Mr. George Owen, Port Talbot, proposed a resolution endorsing the action of the railwaymen's representatives, and express ing deep regret that the board of directors had not seen their way to grant a further interview to their delegates. The delegatos were convinced that if an interview wet- granted many questions and new circum- stances connected with the points submitted in the -ecretary's letter of June 29th could with advantage' to the company and the men be considered. In an able speech he said that on the company's shoulders would have to rest the responsibility for any conflict that might take place between the men and the company; and, dealing with the re- markable changes in the conditions of ser- vice that to-day existed, he said that whilst the men did not object to the company s process of saving for the benefit of the puo- lic they did say that the railway worker should not be expected to suffer, but that he should have not only increased pay, but shorter hours of labour. (Applause.) Mr. G. N. Griffiths (Llanelly) seconded, and was pleased to say that the new chair man of the company was in sympathy wit'i railwaymen. (.Hear, hear.) Mr. David Richards (Swansea) supported and asked when the workers were going to be civilised enough to say that the employ- ers should not take advantage of their (th-c workers') necessities. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. J. Bevan (Swansea) moved for the es tablishment of a Board of Conciliation for the consideration and settlement of matters affecting the conditions of employment, sucti board to be composed of an equal number of representatives of the company and the men. He spoke of the increasing responsibilities jf railway workers, and said that in 1904 there were 1,380 less engines than in 1900, md yet 24,875,000 more tons were carried, and that meant that 4,140 less men were employed in 1904 than 1900 to deal with thai increased tonnage. If they only looked aftct their own interests half as well as they look ed after the interest of the company thev would be in a far different position. H< ould not forget Mr. Beasley's remark that the railwaymen did not belong to the Amal gamated Society because they were satisfied with their conditions of service, and yet when one considered the benefits of the o eiety alone one wondered how it was Fu- sible for a man to remain outside the organ I cUttion. Mr. Rees Harris (Llanelly) seconded, and in supporting Mr. T. Rees (Swansea), quot- ed convincing causes showing the advantage rained by members of the society over tk non-members, particularly in cases under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The resolution was carried unanimously A vote of thanks to the chairman m ■ kid-Hi the meeting.

The Bench made an order of 2s. 6d. a week with costs.

Alleged Frauds in Gower, The Gower police secured the arrest on Sunday of a man who is alleged to have carried on an extensive system of fraud in Gower within the last, three months. The man represented himself as an agent fo ra firm of advertising agents, who for a nominal sum advertised places of business and resi- dences to attract visitors.

There are in all 56 distinct cases wherein, it is alleged, defendant received sums of money and rendered no account, the victims including several people in and around Gower Peninsula. PRISONER AT THE POLICE COURT.

Aberavon Church Cemetery, Aberavon and District Free Church Coun- cil on Friday evening passed a resolution expressing great surprise and deep pain at the Finance Committee's recommendation to increase the Mayor's salary by £ 50 from the rates towards the debt incurred by the Established Church in repairing the church tower and cemetery wall entering emphatic protest against "such a proposal for devot- ing public? money to sectarian purposes, and a high-handed revival of the old Church rate, and expresses its firm determination to oppose it." It was decided to ask all the Free Churches to pass a strong resolution against the proposal, and a deputation was ap- pointed to wait on the Town Council at its next meeting.

r Waunarlwydd Scholars on Strike The pr f, of Waunarlwydd and Gower ton parents against the action of the Count, Council in converting Waunarlwydd ScnocU into a mixed school took practical form on liiuraday, for the boys and girls, about loo in number, remained away, and ^;r. John Rowlands, who has been headmaster of Waunarlwydd Schools for more than a quar- ter 01 a century, had an enforced holiday. The boys paraded the streets and en- gaged in games, and the girls also went in for patstimes. The absentees assembled at the schools at the opening and closing times, and made jubilant demonstrations by way of celebrating their freedom. The attewhnn officer, Mr. Aaron Re-cs, visited many parents, but failed to convince them that they were infringing the law. The parents express their determination to fight the matter out, whatever may be the result. The infants attended ecaool as USPARENTS DETERMINED TO HOLD OUT. Never in the history of Waunarlwydd have the people been so united in a cause as they are in the present one to fight we educa- tional authorities re the proposed mixed sch ool. On Friday night another overcrowded meeting took place at the Council School. Mi Rees Rees. Westfield, presided and urged pa-rents to stand to their resolution to keep their children home until the County Council were subdued. Rev. J T. Davies. in a telling speech, al- luded to an interview he had with Mr. Rees, the Inspector of Schools for Swansea. He said that Mr. R-ees told him that Waunar- hvvdd parents were too timid to infringe tho laws by keeping the children home, and that the likely proceedings at the Swansea Police Court would strike terror into their hearts. He repudiated this idea, and candidly told Mr. Eeers that Waunarlwydd parents had determined to fight the matter to the bitter end. Others spoke to the same strain, and Mr J. J. Thomas, Roseland, proposed that they adhere to their former resolution, viz., "To keep the children home until the County Council reverted to the old system of a separated boys' and gjr^s school. Mr. E,3..n Jones seconded, and it was car- ried unanimously. Rev. J. T. Davies proposed that a com- mittee be formed to see further into the matter, and the to1 Jo wing gentlemen were elected, with Mr. Rees Rees as chairman :—. Rev. J. T. Davies, D. J. Williams, Albert Richards, J. Jenkui Thomas, D. orifnt-hs, George John. Thos. Jones, D. Jones, Evan ,)ones and Robert Evans. WAR DECLARED FROM CHAPEL PULPITS. „ The parents of Waunarlwydd still adhere to the course they have chosen. A copy of their resolution has been sent to each place of worship, and on Sunday it was read at Zion and Sardis Chapels and St. Barnabas' Church. The schools on Monday were a-lmcstjempty excepting as regards the infants' department, which is unaffected bv the dispute. REV. J. BEVAN DEFENDS HIMSELF: A notice was read at the various places of worship in Waunarlwydd on Sunday night, to the effect that no children were to attend school on Monday. At Sardis Rev. J. Bevan, member of the Gowerton Group School Managers, defended himself against the accusation of being the instigator of the "mixed school." He said tho scheme originated with Mr- William Edwards, Inspector of Schools, undoubtedly one of the greatest educational authorities in the country. Personally, he did not care whether it was mixed or separated but if this strike was allowed to go on, it would surely cause a rift between some Christian people in the place.

Great Royal Review at Edinburgh The King held a review of 38,000 Ydun- teers in ilolyrood Park, Edinburgh, on Monday. The weather in the morning was dull and somewhat threatening. From half-past two in the morning tiJl six o'clock a constant succession of troop trains came into the city, 30,000 of the men arriving :11 the morning, and about 600 trams brought visitors to the city. The King arrived from Runord Abbey at Waverley Station at eight o'clock precise'v, and was met by Lord Provost Cranston, Earl Dalkeith (chairman of the Norm Brit- ish Railway Company), cihf, • of Breadalbane, and the Scottish -jd tary Headquarters Staff. His Majesty drove to Holyrood by Princes-street, Waterloo-place, and Eegent-road. The streets were lined by pe?uIa/' tr/?no<5 of the Edinburgh Garrison, and the King during his drive was received with grea^ cheering bv the crowds which lined t.t,- thoroughfare. The troops pg™ to take up their position in H° f By ten o'clock all the troops were formed up in the park and ready for the King. At that hour the Edinburgh Corporation waited on his Majesty in the Pala^ an^Pr< s^nted hhn with the Keys of the City, which semeo h-i.i » j llThey not the iving returned, saying, a be in better keeping."

At a quarter to eleven the King, dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, his breast flittering with orders, rode out of the Palace gardens to the parade ground on a magnificent bay charger. His appearance was greeted with loud cheers from the hundreds of thousands of spectators who crowded the liilkides. His Majesty was ac- companied by the Duke of Connauglu, and several Scottish noblemen. After reaching the saluting flag he inspected the Crimean and Indian Mutiny veterans ana ex-Volun- teers. f His Maiestv finished an inspection cf the line at haif-past 11, and then a most pic- ttiresque -nareli-past commenced.

WIFE AND HER RIYAL. Sordid Story of a London Intrigue At Croydon, on Monday, Alfred Michael Solomon, of Lupus-street, Pimlico, said to be secretary to a well-known professional mo- torist, was summoned by his wife for an order of maintenance, she alleging her hus- band bad deeerUd her. It was stated by Mrs. Solomon's solicitor that defendant was a Jew and was married to complainant at a Registry Office at at V\ andsvro. jn. After the marriage it came to Mrs. Solomon's knowledge that her hus- band was corresponding with and visiting a Liverpool girl then employed at a London restaurant, but now a burlesque actress. A number of letters had come into the pos- session of complainant. Mrs. Solomon ob- tained a decree of judicial separation, and was granted alimony, with an intimation that the amount might be increased as de- fendant^ position improved. That was why he (the solicitor) now asked for the maxi- mum order, as he said Mr. Solomon was maintaining the girl in every luxury and giving her valuable presents. Defcj&dant resumed cohabitation with his wife at Thornton Heath, but they finally separated last year, defendant going, said the solici- tor, to live with the actress in Pimlico. In April, Mrs. Solomon went to Lupus-street and thrashed the actress, being afterwards bound over at Westminster Police Court. Mrs: Solomon having given evidence in support of her solicitor's statement, she was examined by a barrister -1 spearing on behalf of Mr. Solomon. Complainant eaid it was I untrue that she had been living in miscon- duct with a gentleman whose Christian name was Archie. A piece of paper bearing the gentleman's name was handed up, and en being asked I by the chairman of the Bench whether she had misconducted herself with the gentle- I man, witn-.ss replied, "I will say nothing." Mrs. Solomon fell in a swoon and was car- ried out of the court. Defendant's representative asked for the dismissal of the case, saying these proceed- ings were the culmination of a series of per- secutions. The Bench dismissed the case with costs and granted defendant a certificate barring further nroceedings.

License of the Grand Theatre. At Wednesday's m.eeting of the Swansea Town Council the following letter relative to the license for the public performance oi stage plays in the Grand Theatre will be read from Messrs. John H. Mote and Son. 11, Gray's Inn-square, London, dated 23rd August :— "Referring to the proceedings for a. man- damus, we have had our attention called to a newspaper report to the effect that you" Council have passed a resolution not to ops pose the rule for a mandamus being made absolute. As you may be aware, the case is set down for hearing, and may not corn" 011 till the end of the year, as the long vaca- tion is not over till nearly the end of Octo- ber. "We understand that the Excise license expires on the 11th October, and, as the license taken up, without prejudice, states that it is granted on condition that the guar- antee undertakes not to apply to the Exci.^ Authorities for a license, the memorandlPl on same may prevent our client from getting a license from the Excise Authorities. "With the view to save the expense of a special application being made, we should be obliged if you would kindly let us know whether our client may assume that he 's at liberty to apply for 'the Excise license m the ordinary way and to continue as here- tofore until the case comes on for hearing and is decided."

Swansea Lawyer's Reply to Mr. Joseph Henry Jones. Mr. J. Evan Rowlands, solicitor, Swan- sea, writes :—"My clients, at whose in- stance the order for attachment was ob- tained herein, have had th-r attention drawn to the paragraph which appeared in your issue of the 15th instant, purporting to be an interview which a press representa- tive had with Mr. Joseph Henry Jones. "The statements purported to have been mad? by Mr. Jones are erroneous and likely to mislead. I am instructed to state that "my clients will welcome any oppor- tunity Mr. Jones will afford them in order that the nature o: the claim, the indulgence granted to him, and the hole facts may be submitted for the information and the con- sidi^tion of the public. "My clients granted Mr. Jones every in- dulgence reasonably possible, even after proceedings were commenced. Mr. Jones was, in due course of law, made acquainted with every step taken, and it is therefore futile for him fA now assert that 'not a word was breathed to him that extreme measures were being taken.'

Ystradgynlais Electrician's Terrible Adventure. At Wernplennis Colliery, Ystradgynlais, owned by Gurnos Colliery Co.. on Saturday, Llewellyn Morgan, a young electrician, I was engaged in connecting a pump in the slant underground, to the electric mains, when by some mistake someone at the sur- face switched on the current. Morgan received a. shock of 440 volts, and, fast m the grip of the current was twisted and tossed among the wires for about five minutes, till a young haulier, about five minutes, till a young haulier, Jack Phillips, at the risk of his own life, ) rushed forward and succeeded in extricating him by pulling at his coat tail. Morgan, who was standing in a pool of water at the time, had endured agonies in the minutes that elapsed before rescue. He escaped with a burnt right hand which is now partly disabled, and several small burns and bruises. Dr. Walsh declared that had it not been for the fact that Morgan was in a measure rsrà to th? current it would have no doubt proved fatal.

Duke of Beauforts Fee Farm Rents. The Duke of Beaufort and his fee farm rents came up before the Swansea Finance Committee, on Friday in the shape of a sug- gestive letter from his Graoe's solicitors, v-o reminded the Corporation that the time given for payment of a few years' arrears had expired. Deputy Town Clerk explained that the rents had been paid from time immemorial— at least, from the reign of Edward I.—and he could not see how the Corporation could get out of it. He told the Comm'ttee how land in this country was now held from the Crown, but that formerly it was the custom of the King to make grants toO the lords, who. in return for services rendered, made certain of the grants tc the people. Later theoe services were abolished, except in the case of manors, and the lords subsequently com- muted these services into fee-farm rents The accounts were payablo under the charter of De Breos, but Cromwell made another charter in favour of the people, but James I II. revoked it, and so the payments became due again to the Duke of Beaufort. It was quite true there was a clause in one of the charters freeing the burgesses, but it was not taken advantage of, and since the town had paid the Duke £18 a year for the past 100 years, at least, he could not see how the Corporation con11 get out of it. The County of Monmouth had endeavoured to contest the same point, but did no good. though he agreed that if the action compelled the Duke to prove his claim, then there might be some advantage in going to law, but the onus was upon the Corporation to show that they were not Hable. Mr. David Harris said. that having regard to the number of questions relative to the foreshore, etc., between the Corporation and tho Duke, it would not be wise to alienate his Grace's sympathies. It was agreed to pay the bill.

Mr. Herbert Lewis, M.P., Flint Boroughs, underwent an operation for appendicitis on Monday.

I Warfare in a Swansea Street. ¡I' Entering the Swansea Police Court wit- ness-box on Monday, with her forehead en- wrapped by white bandages, Norah Griffin, 9, Greyhound-street, complained that Mar- garet Bowen, 4, East-place, widow, had wounded and assaulted her on Saturday. Mr. Richards prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson defended. Norah Griffin said she used to live with prisoner, and went to ask her for a dress she had left there. Defendant refused to give it up unless witness would "put the window in." "The window you broke a week before you went," added prisoner, who went to the kitchen, picked up a bottle and struck her with it on the forehead. Cross-examined Prosecutrix admitted she hit Bowen. Mr. Thompson Is not the cause of all this row the fact that she has just joined the Methodists ? Witness Oh, no, sir. Did you pull her hat off her head ?-No, sir. You are one of the Irish brigade, aren't you, who are so fond of breaking windows? —No, indeed, sir. Didn't you call her a tum-coat because she has gone from the Church of Rome?— Oh, no. Mr. Thompson referred to this "moet un- holy row," and asked defendant whether she spat at Mrs. Bowen. "I haven't that fashion," complainant averred. Mr. Thompson: Then you are net ex- perienced in the art of expectoration. (Laugh- ter.) Complainant's mother said she saw de- fendant strike her daughter with the bottle. Cross-examined She did not see her daughter use a hatpin. Dr. Groves, Swansea Hospital, said the wound bled very much. It was on the fore- head and two inches long. Defendant said prosecutrix broke one of her windows because she had given her notice to leave. Complainant tore her lip either with a hairpin or hatpin. Twenty minutes later they started pulling her, and, trying to get free, she pushed Norah Griffin, who fell against a wall. Mr. Thompson: What have they got against- you? Ns it that you have turned from the Roman Catboiics? Prisoner I don't know, sir. William Darrocate, 15, East-place, saw two women quarrelling with defendant. Prosecutrix spat twice in prisoner's face, and amongst the na.mes uttered was "You cow" by complainant. He saw defendant Bowen give the bottle to a little girl, and would swear she never struck Griffin. The Bench, considering the whole circum- stances, felt- bound to say that whatever complainant suffored, she brought on by her own folly. The case was dismissed.

Port Talbot Docks Trade. Last week, according to the record of ton- nage, appears to have been the busiest time experienced at the Port Talbot Docks dur I ing the past five weeks, the exports showing an increase on tue previous week of 4,204 tons. I The imports were not up to the average. and most of the work was done in the shio- ment of coal and fuel, the patent fuel works being very busy. Like all the other ports in the Bristol Channel. Port Talbot is suffer- ing from the stagnation in the shipping business, and some thousands of tons of coal are now standing in the sidings await incr shipment, and this will soon materially affect the collieries unless there is an earlv change in the situation. The following is the week's record:- Exports.—Coal for foreign ports, 14.356 tons; fuel for foreign ports, 4,200 tons; coal 'for home ports, 6.995 tons _tin, 24ii tons copper, 4 tons.

Temperance Demonstration at Aberavon. All the temperance organisations in the Aberavon and Port Talbot districts joined on Saturday in a huge demonstration. The arrangements were admirably devised by h united committee, with Mr. H. W. James and Mr. William Evan Jones as joint honor- ary secretaries. An imposing procession was marshalled, and headed by the Salvation Army brass band, a march was made to the Port Talbot Public Park, where a platform had been erected. When the various socie- ties had taken up their positions the sight was a most impressive one. Rev. D. J. Jones, M.A., Vicar of Port Talbot, was the chairman, and with him on the platform were the Bishop of Llandaff, Revs. Z. J. Williamson (Vicar of Margam), A. J. Ed- wards, T. H. Thomas (Ind.), E. Owen (C.M.), N. W. Hopkins (Baptist), W. Jones (Baptist), W. B. Budd (Bible Christian), and J. fatten (Wesleyan). There were also present Col. David, Captain Jones (Port Talbot Harbour Master), Mr. Morgan Thomas vPostrnaster), and Councillor Johu Phillips. The Chairman dwelt upon the ravages 01 the drink curse, and quoted with hearty approval some recent utterances of Mr. John 'Burns. Rev. Morris Morgan, secretary of the South Wales Temperance Association delivered an address. Bishop of Llandaff, who was warnvy greeted, recalled a conversation he had >n one occasion with Canon Basil Wilberforce in a London drawing-room. They were at- tracted to each other bv a bit of blue rib- bon which each wore. Canon Wilberforce said there was nothing like temperance and temperance work to break down the barriers between man and man. He had, proceeded the Bishop, an illustration of that in those who were on the platform that afternoon. The bishop further illustrated the need of unity jn temperance work by relating the story of the group of sailors who were dis- puting where a button should be sewn, when there was a cry that a ship was < n the Goodwin Sands. The disputation ceased instantly, and all joined to save lives in danger. He knew that strong opinions were held, and they were not always abso- lutely unanimous, but when they united for temperance work they kept their attention upon the common danger they concentrated their energies upon their implacable and deadly foe. Proceeding, the bishop said that the consumption of strong drink, if it was a luxury, was a luxury which was it once expensive, unnecessary, and dangerous. There was no influence like that of the drink that so hindered religious work. The gracious revival had to fight the drink, and, thank God, the drink had to yield. In con- clusion the speaker quoted the testimony of Sir Frederick Treves in favour of total ab- stinence. At night the Public Hail, Aberavon, was crowded. Rev. B. Rees, B.A., Carmel, presided, and deplored the fact that there were so many public-houses in Aberavon. Rev. Morris Morgan then spoke. Bishop of Llandaff spoke in Welsh and English in turn. He said there were some iemperar.ee reformers who clamoured greatly for legislation, and no doubt it was well to keep their eyes open and look after their representatives in Parliament. But it was no use to have legislation in advance of the country, to have legislation ahead of that great power called public opinion. They must educate so as to have a better public opinion. The speaker proceeded to contend that drink and juvenile smoking were de stroying the manhood of the country. The Japanese, when they found that tobac. :o smoking was injuring the physique of their youth, made it a law that no youth under 2Q years of age should smoke at all. And that applied to the youths of all nationalities while theY were in Japan. Japan had !fet, a good examcle in this particular, and lie did not think such a law would be thought too drastic for adoption in this country. Passing on, the speaker said he thought much good lay in institutions and clu' wit- out drink, and he would be glad 'I seme such were started in that large and dotvjIous dir.iri; in the next winter. Rev. H. J. Harris, pastor of Orchard place Baptist Church, Neath, also delivered a telling speech.

Guard, 130, Barrack Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, writer "Thanks to VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC, which has, I believe, saved my life.
