ROUSE OF LORDS DELETE THE CLAUSE. CUTTING ATTACK ON LLOYD- GEORGE. "SUBORDINATE POSITION" RE- COMMENDED. The House of Lords on Thursday resumed their consideration of Clause 26 of the Education Bill (the Weilsh Council clause), which was, on Earl Cawdor's motion, even- tually tlirown out by 109 votes to 44-UtJ- position majority, 65. Marquis of Londonderry (U.) said he had oever known a more extraordinary propooa submitted to Parliament than this proposal of a separate education council tor V\aie<s. To me minci it was absolutely impracticable. If they were to create a separate council of education tor Wales, why were they not to create separate iocat government anLt. ag- ritiiLlurai uULhontle6 tor the .PnnClpaJity i lie had racked his brains ill vain ±or a reason why Wales should be treated diifer- ently froiii other parts of the United King- dOlll, unless the raason. were that, this was reward for the revolt which Mr. Lloyd- George had led against the Education Aci of 1902. 0 Eari of Crewe said the Government pro- posed by this clause to centralise Welsh e>e- Uientary education in a similar manner to the accomplished centralisation of interme- diate oduration. For -hat there was a very general demand in Wales. So far as lie knew tha Parliamentary representatives of 3-les were unanimously in favour of the clause, and it was to be noted that the Bishops of St. Asaph and St. David, though they had severely criticised the clause, had Hot in express terms said that they were averse to the idea of a council for Wales, ut had seemed to infer that if such a ooun- <:11 was to be formed it should be given the shape of a. reconstituted Central Board, with additional powers. If as a condition for he I fCcfcptance of the clause they were asked i ^kstitute the Board of Education for *be Tronrvrv the G-i>ernment would be per- fectly prepared to consider that proposition and to make the necessary alteration in the clause. Continuing, he did not for a :no- defer.r] |j1e agitation which had taken Place in Wales. He deplored man*- of the incidents of that agitation, but he could not orget that if the Government in 1902 had *>ot RO completely ignored the sentiment of be Population of Wales the differences ^ould never have arisen. If the serious lnJustiee inflicted bv the Act of 1902 were ^medied in this Blll those differences would Ie out.

- COWARDLY DEED AT CRAIGCEFN-PARC.'
COWARDLY DEED AT CRAIGCEFN- PARC. LARGE STONE HURLED THROUGH SCHOOL WINDOW. A cowardly outrage was perpetrated at .,raigc^fnparc, Cfydach, the other evening. -I Ciydach and a band of his y°Ung men had arranged to give a magic ^■ntera entertainment to the children of the ge in the Council School. Every- augured well for a happy evening, ^d the schoolroom was crowded, and the P'ooeedings had been going on for about -a'i an hour, v..en suddenly a terrific crash heard, and a large stone came through tj^e window and dropped into the centre of room. If it had come on the head of of the children the probability is that V hfe would have been lost. 1 he police oUicer of the district was in the 1'%zn when this happeaied, and he immedi- ately rushed out, but failed to capture the ^Iprit, and could only tind the footprints a grown-up person. Work in connection with the church is about to be started a.t Graigcefnparc, and theory is that some contemptible person snowed his disapproval of the stop by be- Uil.Vi.ng 1ll this extraordinary manner. .The Vicar of Ciydach, asked for his ver- si&Q of the matter, declined to be inter- '"ewed, but simply said that a most serious ^cident might have happened.
NEW ARCTIC TRIBE.
NEW ARCTIC TRIBE. WHALER CAPTAIN'S DISCOVERY. FIRST GLIMPSE OF 'WHITE PEOPLE. Despatches received at Qneenstown from British Columbia contain details of the dis- covery of a people on Prinoe Albert Land in the Arctic, who had never seen white men, who lived under most primitive con- ditions, and who were armed with copper knives, bows and arrows. Intelligence wa-s brought south by the British revenue cutter Thetis, who learned the facts from the discoverer of the people, Capt. Klinkinberg, of the steam whaler Oiga. Last winter, when ice-bound near Prince Albert Land, Capt. KlinkinbeTg, accom- panied by Eskimos, started inland on a hunt- ing expedition. He went 250 unlets in a north-westerly direction over snow. finding traces of the" people, and finaily overtaking a.bout 150 or more of them. When they sow him they advanced towards him. holding above their heads copper knives and bows and arrows. He pointed a rille at them. One came alone, and the captain laid down his rifle, the native putting down his wea- pons. Bocoming friendly, Capt. Klinkin- berg learned by signs from an old woman who came from Prince William Land that they had never seen white men previouely. He visited a village and found about six hundred people, all of whom lived by hunting and fishing. They used most primitive utensils, fashioned from bone and native copper. Their dress was not like that of other Eskimos, but similar to that of Green- land natives, made of soft tanned skins sewn with deer sinews. Their winter houses were of sod with a lining of skins, and differ- ent in sha.pe from those of other known tribes. They a.re nomadic.

SWANSEA HEARTS OF OAK SOCIETY.
SWANSEA HEARTS OF OAK SOCIETY. ANNUAL DINNER: SENIOR TRUST. EE'S SPEECH. EXTENSIVE RAMIFICATIONS OF A NOBLE INSTITUTION. The annual dinner of the Swansea, district of the Hearts of Oak Benefit Society wat held at the Roya! Hotel on Thursday even- ing. Mr. W. Cox presided in the absence of the Mayor, over an attendance of over 100. An excellent dinner having been dealt with, the loyal toasts received musical hon- ours. Letters of apology were received from Mr. C. W. Burns, general secretary (who is suf- fering from influenza) "and the Mayor (who had urgent business in London). On the motion bf Mr. Treadwell, district manager, a vote of condolence was passed with the general secretary. Chairman, proposing "The Hearts of Oak Society," said its objects w-erc far-reaching and beneficial in operation. It came to their assistance in their greatest need. The society had distributed over £ 8,000,000 since its inauguration 60 years ago. That was a sum we could scarcely comprehend, but its distribution must have done an enor- mous amount of sjood. The .society had nearly 3.2 1 millions Invested funds. carefully invested. The annual income was £ 670,000 —(applause)—and last year £ 545,000 was paid out in sirk benefits. (Applause.) Fu- neral claims ran to £ 40.000, and another interesting item of expenditure was £ 44,000 foT wives lying in. The amount received in each ca ;e was 30s. So they must congratu- late themselves that their wives had been very proline during the year. (Loud laugh- ter.) Over 30,000 "babies had been born to the society. Mr. W. G. Bunn, London, senior trustee, who was well received, expressed regret for the absence the scneral sccTetary. Some- tunes, no doubt, his auditors thought they j were great fools at the central offices. ("No, no.") But he asked them to believe they did their best under difficult circumstances. They had to deal with about 5,000 letters a day. The magnitude of their work was in- dicated by a step just taken. They had now a post ofSce of their own-(loud ap- plauee)-their own postmaster and staff of clerks. They could then conduct their pos- tal business more efficientlv and expeditious- ly, and it would bring in each j'^ar a rea- sonable profit to their funds. (Loud ap- plauoe-V'; The State had thus recognised their society as it had no other. They hoped soon to have post office and bank icl the &ame building. Their sdbiety was a voluntary or- ganisation, and in that respect compared favourably with the insurance system in Germany. H there was anything we loved i and prized A this countrv it was the liber- ty to do as we liked. (Laughter.) The State had been wise enough to leave us alone. The society was also mutual; all members payed alike; and whether in Lon- don or the provinces, enjoyed equal ad- vantages. It was permanent. There was no withdrawing of <-he funds at Christmas. He advocated the exclusion of "illness that was neither serious nor real," and the es- tablishment of a local call office in each town also warned members against the dan- ger of lending mon-ey,to members for build- ¡ ing purposes without adequate security. Mr. T. B. West also responded. "Swansea and District Association and Medical Fund" was proposed by Mr. Mor- gan, Llanelly, and responded to by Mr. W. G. Harris (president) and Dr. Knight.—A musical programme enlivened the proceed- ings. Mr. Tom Jones secured a hearty en- core for his quaint songs, as did Mr. An- drew Bell, baritone; Mr. L. Warner, coon songs, and Mr. Terrell.

SWANSEA ELECTRIC ENGINEER'S "YARNS." SOME AMUSING INCIDENTS RE- LATED AT MOHRrSTON. Under the auspices of the Morristvn Trades' and Labour Council. Mr. C. Prus- mann, Swansea borough electrical engineer delivered an interesting address on <rEpi- sodes in the life of an elert,rical engineer," at Tabernacle Vestry. Morriston,on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance over which Mr. Howel lewis presided. On one occasion Mr. Prosmnnn was in- structed to call at very short notice at a large public building, where an im-ortant dinner was being held." Certain clerical appliances were not satisfactory, and t^g trouble was lest certain fuseis became too warm. These he managed to keep coo.) f[}r a number of hours bv means of a paj] Qf water and a piece of cloth. It was in Yorkshire where perhaps Mr. Prusmann l)ad his most exiting e^peri^ iae period was June. 1897, and in hon0,jr of the late Queen's Diamond Jubilee a bif electrical display was arranged, the tnain switch-en being stored in a big block which had been just, previously burnt out. Before the time of the display one of the celluloid balloons caught fire, which set fire to a largo number of others. This dart)age however, was set right before the lights were required. At the_ appointed time Prusmann and his assistant proceeded the door of the basement to turn on switches, but at the pyschological mo^j the key was missing. A locksmith refused to pick the lock without the landl0r<p8 consent. There was a hope of th« piace being reached over the burnt walls next door. Bv means of planks and ladder^ the walls were sealed, the switches reached a ad the dtuation saved. On the retun^ journey over the walls the ladder w^s jn_ advertently dropped.

SWANSEA R.S.P.C.A. BALL.
SWANSEA R.S.P.C.A. BALL. EMINENTLY ENJOYABLE FUNCTION AT THE ALBERT HALL. CORA DESCRlJuEri SOME OF THE PRETTY COSTUMES. Our lady reportjr, "Cora," writes; "There was a sound of revelry by night," and leaving the mundane level worries of e v ery-day ixistonce behind, over some 300 rf our plunged into exhilarating re- laxation, and so assisted in producing '.he astonisliing iuecoss which appeared to have attended the Royal Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals dance, held on Friday evening at the Albert Halls. It had Long been felt by the local representatives of tin society that a duly qualified inspector ohouJd be appointed to reside in Swansea, and although a substantial amount had been collected, it W3iS not entirely sufficient to meet the requirements of the society, hence Friday night' ef(>rt of the energetic secre- tary of our local branch, Miss Marten, who fills that post with such distinct honour, and her appointed committee, Mrs. Morgan Davies, Mrs. Da-Tid Glasbrook, Mrs. Glen. Moxham, Mrs. C. C. Vivian, and Mrs. J. C. Woods, all of whom have worked con- scioufjiV and well for the dance's success. Amid a mass of electric light, glitter, chat- ter and colour, the brilliant pool of Ter- psichore enthusiasts, as admired from L-h-e balcony, provid-ed such a vivid impression of gay picturasqueness, swaying, smiling, happy beings, they might well have floated from some pleasant sphere where worries are in- known. Youth glanced joyously over pearly young shoulders, and graceful women, at- tired in a charm of soft drapery, threaded the mazes of a favourite dance. ar-d around about an all-pervading aroma of choice per- fumes, brilliant points of light, flashing from sequined and jewelled charms, and tiny glittering trifles, not to mention the excellent hall decorations executed by Messrs. Ben Evans and Co., and which d:s- piayed an exhibition of good taste, adding considerably to the splendour. The colours chosan for the muslin festooning of the bal- conies were green a.nd yellow, and the other- wise unsightly sxipports of the room had been effectively concealed by tapestry por- tiers, while fern and plants gave that neces- sary touch of cool freshness to the platform, considerably enhancing the tout ensemble. The menu arrangements were perfection; -:he light refreshments provided including the daintiest and choicest of delicacies, all of which had been given. In fact, the whole evening was joyously fpent, whether dancing or sitting out, for to the most re- mote corners came the subdued strains of Mr. Hulley's excellent orchestra, which was in attendance. Unfortunately, Dr. Brooks was unable to attend in the capacity (f M.C., but his duties wei\> efficiently carried out by CoCcnel Wright, who was generously supported b the long Cist of stewards: — Messrs.

Flam-, Laurenca Richards, J. L. Richardson, ùr. G Arbour Stephens, Mr. Talfourd Stri;k. junr., Dr. Frank Thomas, Messrs. Mervyn Williams, Townsend Wood, Ravmond Woods, Chas. Wright.
