THE GIAKT SWING,
THE GIAKT SWING, A merry pio-nlc party were amusing them- selves at Chestnut Crove. vwrti as tb last strains of a waltz died in sweet echoes on the charmed air, a tail young man of very striking appearance approached a rather pretty girl, who, judging by the crowd around her,, was quite a rural belie. "Bessie." said be. "yon look overheated froni j so much dancing Will you not come and rest awhile in the swing?" The question was put in a kind of proprie- tary way that would have betrayed to a stranger wtte intimate terms on which the two stood. The bystanders, however, and indeed the whole town knew, that Harry Sinclair and Bessie Gould were engaged. "Gome, please; I have something particular to say to you." Miss Bessie," broke in Wilfrid Lawton, her late partner, "take a seat here and you'll be rested directly. You surely prefer dancing to a stupid swing-tu say nothing of its possible danger." NouseRft!" said Bessie; "it is only people over three-score-and-ten who leel nervous about that swing. There never has been an accident and never will be.

I saw her standing at her gate, bidding good night to Wilfrid. His arms encircled her. and as they kissed each other repeatedly, there was a rapturous look in her face that 1 had never seen there. I wa? about to rush forward, and tax her then and there with her faithlessness, when several per- sons approached from the other end of the lane. "I loved her so madly that i could nnl bear to give her up tc hiin without an effort. I knew her too well not to know that to re- venge myself on hilll would be a deathblow to my hopes of winning her back, and knew, too, that she had beguiled him as she had myself. Well. the next day, when we were in the swing. I told her what I had seen, re- proaching her bitterly. She answered de- fiantly, toid me she loved Wilfrid with her whole heart, having long ceased to care for me; that I could not compare with him, and many another scornful things. She a!o said she intended to marry him the following week. Her words and taunts drove me mad. I -•cized her by the arm and told her that she should never be- his. She sprang to her feet indignantly, and dared me to interfere with her plans. I replied that we should die to- gether then and there, and as the swing had just then reached its farthest radius from the bank I yielded to the fatal temptation and sprang over with her. God is my witness that I wished and ex- pected to perish with her. But I was saved to bear this black load of remorse. The war gave me an opportunity of offering my guilt- stained life as a sacrifice, I have persistently courted death. Bessie's white face is always before me: her lips are always saying, ')Iurderer l' "There is forgiveness," murmured Willie, compassionately. "There is none for me and 1 cannot forgive myself. Bessie! Bessie! I shall never see you again." The peace of death was his at last. Violet Lirdsav.

GLAMORGANSHIRE BANK.
GLAMORGANSHIRE BANK. MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS. A general meeting of the proprietors of the Glamorganshire Banking Company (Limited) was held on Tuesday at the Banking House, Tem; le-street, Swansea. -.Nir. -T. if Row land (chairman) presided, and there were also present Mr. William Williams (deputy-chai. man), Mr. Thomas Freeman, Dr. T. D. Griffiths. Mr. J. Crow Richardson, Mr. Robert V'uhs (directors). Mr. F. Edwards (general manager), Mr. John Griffiths (sub- manager), Mr. R. J. Letcher (secretary), Messrs. J. G. Hall, A. P. Steeds, Ll. Daves, Griif Thomas, W. J. Rees, R. G. Cawker, T. W. James, T. F. Jones, V, Kamerer, T. R„ Morris, D, Arti ar Davies, Rhys D. ()wen. T. H..Stevens, E. Starbuck Williams. W. M. Davics. S. P. Wills, W. A. Rouse, James Harries, John Roberts, and Thomas Gnmths. The haif-vearly report showed net. profits for the half-year ended June 30 to be JLlO,606 17. 6d, and the directors re- commended the application of £ 4,611 16s lOd to the pavment of dividend at £ 7 10s por annum, free of income-tax, on the preference and erJinarv shares; tLe placing of £4,000 to the reserve fund in Government securities; and tha transfer of the balance of LI,995 0s. 8d. to the tead and donhtful debt account. The report 15 audited &3 correct by Mr R. G. Cawker and iir W. J. Rees. The Chairman, after reading a letter from Mr. James In skip, one of the directors, to ttie effect that the shareholders might well be j satisfied with the half-year's business, and also wit'; the proposal to strengthen the reserve, which ought to be equal to the paid- r.p capital, moved the adoption of the raport lie stud it was gratifying feature that the,- were able to keep up their business, for. not- p withstanding the competition, they had made j a profit of £10,600, whilst it was £ 10,434 j twelve months ago. They had increased their reserve fund until they ,*ul a substantial round sum, and they were able to continue their dividend of 7^ per cent., which iie thought was a very fair amount when they considered the very slack and diminished i business of the district during the half-year, and the competition which in former vears i was never thought of by them. Mr. William Williams seconded. It was often remarked, he said, that the bank was a small one. He could not deny that-, but it way a sound and safe one. and enjoyed the confidence of the count}', where their ^hief j business was done. The state of their reserve fluid showed the soundness and stability of t the concern. He was very pleased that ,It: last they had attained a reserve of £100,00;- > (Applause.) They all remembered the :? J construction of 11 or 12 years ago. whe. 1 'Or' t!:eir condition was very different from that wiii?h prevailed at present. (Hear, hear.) Between then and five years ago they paid a dividend of 5 per cent., but when the reseve was reached they paid 7 £ and he thought they had been very comfortable and happy Vritu it. Probably they would continue so. Out he did not know. (Laughter). Anyhow, their prospects were good. (Hear,hear). y oould not lose sight of the fact that the clouds that had been hanging over the district had not altogether disappeared. They were still suffering from depression. He did not know that u would be right to say it was still a that it wonld be right to say it was so severe as during the Isst two or three years, but there was still a I grsat deal of mist to be raised befors the com- < ^tcrciikl r:omicanity wouid in tfc healthy ■itAte t!»«y had kn<r*n it for a series oi.yeats. :TIcar, beer) Tii* report was uo&nimoas*y aJ-optsd 0", tba motion û. sectiidt-?tl by 1 Dr GHcSths, a dividend ot 7-fr }>Gr cent was i1 uaasr»;ot»sfty Ihd latter said ths pwti isalf-yw was a goo«l one. sand fwthu* a better]1 oa*1 than the c.rrwaiw •n< siv -jo' J h«ve bave»'%Q*- ftw -jo' J h«ve TV- t whoi* neigLbj*?

The Cha'rn;sn bri--Hy Acknowledged the com- pliment, and then the shareholders also called on Mr. Edwards, the manager, wi o had a hearty reception. He said it was a pleasure to know that the condition of trade, and as a consequence, the working of the bank, had become much easier during the past two I months, and it was also gratifying that they 1 were not making bad debts. Notwithstanding ( the condition of trade, every branch except one I' showed an increased turnover, and he was I' really astounded when he got out the hgures. The solitary exception was one that depended I wholly on the tin plate trade, and that, like 1 the o<.i-er3. was still in a thoroughly sound tou- dition. That, he was of opinion, pointed to Urn fact that the iSwanscr- district W'S not so absolutely dependent upon the tin-plate trade as it useu to be. and he thought it was a grati- fying feature. They bad suffered from the de pression for ten years, but they had weathered it. It had been said that if the tin-plate trade went Swansea would go too, but they could i not kill a seaport town that was on the edge of ( a coalfield, iApplause). ) This terminated the proceedings. >
THE SWANSEA KMPIKF, <
THE SWANSEA KMPIKF, < There were good audiences to be seen ac this popular house on Monday evening, not- withstanding the sultry weather, which was scarcely an inducement for people to share in indoor amusement. I hose who were preseot thoroughly enjoyed a good evening's enter- tainment. The Darnley Brothers provided a turn which was full of fun, and the laughter was frequent and free at th; iunocent ques- tioning hy "Bertie" of his partner's asser- tions. They sang a topical song about matters affecting England, and Lad to submit to an encore ar.d give several addition-v verses. Charles Mildare fully merits the des- "tiption of being a "wonder-worker" m. 1 wlnstling. He is about the very best we have heard in that particular line, and he was loudly cheered for his "Nightingale's song," with a charming refrain. His imitation's, toe, were splendidly done, and included the thrush, mocking bird, humming bird, night inhale, and last, but not least, the parrot, which evoked roars of applause. Evans fully maintained his reputation as 1 a most able instrumentalist and in addition, varied his performance by antics j and capers that lifted it out of the ordinary | run. iind showed his wonderful versatility tD ths utmost. He played selections on the sleigh J bells, mandoline, and concertina, and gave an imitation of a street musician playing Sun- | shine above" on the coniet, concluding with an air on a selection from the tin cans thrown ( at him. The Eight Eldorado Girls gave skip- ping rope and tambourine dances, and demon strated with grace and skill the "poetry of motion," Miss Violet Wilton contributed an attractive song and top-boot dance, and Frank Coyle made a bit and secured a-u encore, being particularly good with the representation of j th miliionare racehorse owner. Miss Ethel Linden sang and danced a hornpipe, and Cullen and Carthy gave a couple of funny songs, The band, led by Mr. Huieit. contributed net' a little to the success of the entertainment.

THE KEPRESENTATION OF SWANSEA.
THE KEPRESENTATION OF SWANSEA. The Right Hon. Arnold Moi ley, who is men- tioned as the probable Liberal candidate for Swansea, is one of Mr. Gladstone's personal friends, and has often accompanied the ex- Premier on his tours in Norway and elsewhere, is a barrister, aged 47, and was considered oiie of the bcst-loolang men in the last House 0: Commons. He enjoys a common law practice of some considerable extent, and in addition he has a considerable income from the share which fell to his lot of the huge fortune of his father, the late Mr. Samuel Morley, the philanthropist and cx-member for Bristol. Mr. Morley is a Radical of the Radicals, a vice- president of the Eighty Club, and has al- rea-dv sa-t in two Parliaments. He was elected in 1885 for East Nottingham by a majority of SJ1, aL>d was then made Ctiief Liberal VVnip. In 1886, after the great betrayal, he scrambled in with 166 majority. In 1895, however, Mr. Edward Bond wrested the seat from him, so that, like Liberal members nearer Swansea, he has a habit of reducing and losing his lead.

INDUSTRIAL AND TRADES EXHIBITION AT SWANSEA. j INTERESTING DISPLAY AT THE ¡ ALBERT HAJJ", An exhidition of an interesting and instruc- tive character was opened at the Albert Hall. Swansea, on Tuesday afternoon by his wor- ship the mayor (Alderman Bradford), -,he exhibition was promoted for the purpose of giving practical demonstrations 01 the manner in which various food and sanitary appliances may be used. The large expendi- ture involved in carrying out the arrange- ments and providing the necessary demon- strations must be very heavy, but no charge is made for admission, the exhibition being used by a syndicate of domestic appliances manufacturers as a practical medium for ad- vertising their goods.

I understand that it is'proposed to iight the centre of the town—Wind-street, 11 High-street, Oxford-street, Temple-street, etc., Now, I should like to suggest that, in- '-+<è'ad of giving all the benefit of the electric .ight to the few sliordceepers in these streets. the places first given it should be where all the ratepayers couid enjoy it, as they will have to pay for it. Now, who after dark visits ihose streets that are to be lighted? I think practically no one; at any rate, no one who would not or could not just as well go some- where else; and, as this electric lighting is a luxury, and will have to be paid for by the •atepayers, let it be put in the public parks, m the esplanade, promenade, etc., and then all would or could enjoy the light and the open air Just imagine the Cwmdonkin Park lighted by electricity and a band playing these hot summer evenings, with a few more seats— not expensive ones, just a, two-inch plank on three egs in the ground—a similar park at St. Thomas and at Morriston, and the sea promenade light--J A band would soon collie >f itself, if we cannot again have the Police Baud. I suppose the gas company ean now give its ixperieuce of lighting by the 111 candescent [amp, and 11 it is. as they assert, cheaper than dec trie light, they should ,flake an offer to the xmnty council to light r.he streets that it is proposed to do oy electricity. Now is their vrsie or it will be too late, and the ratepayers will have the pleasure of supplying toys for die county council and illumination for the hop-kec-pers.—I am, etc., A RATEPAYER.

GERMAN RIVALRY IN THE FAR EAST. SYSTEMATIC ATTACK ON BRITISH MARKETS. Te TSK IDITOK TliK "DAILY 1'.ST." Sir,—In view of the apposite remarks made by Mr. 11. M. Stanley in his recent lecture aere on Trade," the enclosed will doubtless ae of interest to your numerous readers :— "CELVAN ll.AI'R "Tin THE FAR EAST. The Germans are making strenuous exer- tions to push their wares in the Far East. The first number of a paper printed 1ll Japanese, entitled the German industrial Advertiser," has recently been published at Berlin, and is to be devoted to the descrip- tion of a variety of German manufactures. the first number deals with articles supplied by engineers, tool makers, metal' founders, etc., and the next number is to give details of chemicals, optical instrument*, glass, etc. The dates of succeeding issues will be regu- lated by the German Consuls in Japan, and will give particulars of such articles and manufactures as may for the time being be most in request in that country. Copies of tiiis periodcal are distributed broadcast amongst Japanese merchants, engineers, and manufacturers, Government officials, Cham- bers of Commerce, clubs, etc.. while the read- ing-rooms of hotels and railway stations are also being liberally supplied. The efforts of German manufacturers are being ably sup- ported by their consular officials, as well as by agents and experts resident in Japan, and it is Anticipated that by this combined effort most of the Japanese trade will be captured. It is intended to adopt similar tactics IJ1 China an i in the East generally, the issue of similar trade periodicals in Chinese and other Oriental languages being contemplated. The time has ccme when British manufacturers should be on the alert and take steps to enter the lists with the vigilant and plodding1 German. Perhaps the British Consuls in the Far East could be instructed to perform their ebé 6in imr-orisnt WNk." CV»Kioaca.t 11: aa9d!«!ws.—.1 am, etc. HENRY COLib, ougiiioer. Sr>iis«s.

LOSS OF A SWANSEA TRADER. THE GOWAN BANK ABANDONED A telegram from Falmouth states that the Thesis, C-otn Iquiquo, has arrived there, and reports that on April 27, iu latitude 55-54 south, longitude 63-36 wosf, the watch siabtfed a dismasted veuej. '1 be Thesis altered her coarse, and bore dowa on the derelict, which proved to be the Gowanbank, (if GsgoYV, a well-known Swansea trader. She had been abandoned, and only her jijrger-mast and part of her fore lower mast and bow-I apnt were standing. The starboard bulwarks from peak of poep to about the naainmast were gone, and the sea was washing over her. Ths eaptain of the Thesis assumed that the crew had either been picked off by a passing vessel, or had left her by their own beats there-being only two small boats aboard. The wreck lies in the direct track of homeward bound vessels.

The reservoir is capable of storing ouiv 6,500;000 gallons, and there is now left less than 500,000 gallons, water is being distributed by the watering cart to nearly all parts of the town, and it is besieged by women and children. At the wharf it is stated that they were actnallv fighting for their "turn.' Dr J.

-----------------BRISTOL CHANNEL…
BRISTOL CHANNEL DEFENCES. The Mayor of Bristol has received a letter I from the Admiralty, in responise to a requisi- tion forwarded from a meeting ef Bristol citizens asking fer improvements in the I dxfencee of the Bristol Channel, It was sub- mitted that tee Government should provide a gunboat for permanent duty in the channel, to be manned by a skeleton crew of bluejackets, as a protection for the docks, ports and eoallields of the West of England and South Wales. The Admiralty reply that they are not prepared tQ under- take to station her Majesty ships for purposes of local defence at any particular port, Thoy, however, fully recegnise the m-portance of the perls iu the Brixtot Chan- t Bal, and this is net overlooked in the general scheme of defence of the Coast, of the Untied Kiiigdoat.
