France, and Russia with regard to the Armenian question. By a remarkable "coup de main," the Sultan's troops have succeeded in reducing the troublesome Morocco tribesmen to sub- mission. Considerable excitement prevailed in Queen-street, Cardiff, on Tuesday when a cigar-shop, adjoining the building operations of Mr. Solomon Andrew*, fell in. A girl at work in a cellar beneath was imprisoned for some time. On Tuesday evening a commercial traveller left Swansea for Cardiff by the Griat Western Railway. He travelled in a third-class com- partment and carried with him a double- barrelled gun On the arrival of the train at Neath lie was discovered shot dead. At the Old Bailey on Tuesday the boy Robert Coombes was found guilty of murder. Th j jury were, however, of opinion that Coombes was insane at the time he com- n: ittad the deed, and he was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Fox was acquitted. At the meeting of the British Association on Tuesday a discussion took place on the question of interference with the civilisation of other races. A paper was also read on the probability of the cessation of the growth of the popula £ i» in England anil Wales before 1951. The Prince of Wales arrived at Copenhagen on Sunday, and was received by the v, hole Danish Royal Family. It is reported in New York from San Francisco that Mrs. Langtry has applied to the Lake County-court for a divorce. At Cardiff Police-court on Monday Ellen Hinks, of 18, Bute-terrace, was fined £ 50 aad coots foi selling beer without a. licence.

The Spanish troops are reported to have sustained a further heavy defeat at the hands of the Cuban insurgents under the leadership of Maceo. Last week the first boat belonging to the Water Transport Company passed Vv est- gate Bridge, Gloucester, safely, on the way from Cardiff to Worcester. On Saturday at Birkenhead the Hon. and Rev. Francis Mostyn, D.D., of Talacre, Flintshire, was consecrated Bishop of Ascaf.on and Vicar Apostolic of Wales The Sheffield Trades' Council, representing! seine 80.000 Trades. Unionists, on Friday -everely condemned the Tr?.d«s Consress for excluding Trades' Council delegates fiom the congress. The Great Western Railway Coir»panj has under consideration ste.ps to improve and in- crease the goods department at Ciuxliff, as well as to acee'erate the p&seenge.. traffle, tg a!ready described. England, France, and Russia are stated to have accepted the last proposals of reform put forward by Turkey, thus arriving at a satisfactory solution of the Armenian ques- tion. We understand that another communica- tion has now been received from the bishop of the diocese in regard to the unfortunate stats of things existing in the parish of St. Paul's, Llaueliy. A great earthquake, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, is reported from Honduras. The whole extent of the disaster is still unknown, but already 353 bodies are stated to have been recovered. Loid Windsor on Tuesday received the deputation appointed by the Cardiff County Council the previous day to invite his lord- ship to become mayor for the ensuing year, and accepted the office. The Cardiff Exhibition Executive Council on Monday confirmed the provisional contract for tiie erection of the exhibition burning's at a cost of -C:7 174 and within four month-s from date of commencement. The "Etoile Beige states that the Govern ment of the Congo Free State have sent instructions to the Governor-General to re- can Captain Lothaire, in order that that officer may throw full light on the occur- rences which led him to have Mr. Stokes court-martialed. At Leeds Police-ciourt on Friday an appli- cation was made on behalf of a London financial agen" named Tottenham for a summons against Alfred John Monson for perjury alleged to have been committed at the Leeds Assizes in December last. The application was adjourned. Mr. Stead, writing in the "Review of Reviews in regard to the appointment of Lord Wolseley as Commander-in-Chief, says the change has come not a moment too soon. "The barometer seems to be falling rapidlv, and in the time of storm and stress Britain does well to have her most capable captain in the saddle. A determined prize fight was brought off on Llanwonno Mountain on Sundav morning be- tween two young- men from Penrhiwceiber, na.med Arthur Vaughan and Harry Lewis. Aftei a nerce contest of twenty rounds Yaughiar was beaten. He was subsequently brought to his sister's house in a serio-us condition, and died' during the afternoon. The 1895-6 football season was opened in South Wales and Monmouthshire last Satur- day oy a number of trial matches. Two regular matches resulted as foliows: — Pen-arth beat Abergavenny at Penarth by a goal (four points) and a minor to nothing, while Treherbert beat Llwynypia at Tteher- bert by a try and two minors to nothing The preliminary operations in connection with the production of steel plates, &e., at the new Dowlais Works at Cardiff have been so far successful that the management hope to be eble to proceed uninterruptedly within the next fortnight with the rapid execution of the large orders to hand from the Government and elsewhere. In the early hours of Monday morning a fire occurred on board the London and Edin- burgh Shipping Company's seamer Iona as she wa.s approaching the mouth of the pro Thames, and resulted in the death of seven persons, including the stewardess. So fierce at one time were the flames, which appear to have broken out in the lamp-room, that the safety of the whole vessel was involved. Some remedies for the depression in agriculture were discussed by three sections of the British Association at Ips- wich on Monday, but no re- solution was proposed. At the general meeting Sir Clia-rles Tupper invited the association to Toronto for 1897, and the offer was accepted. The next meeting will be at Liverpool, with Sir Joseph Lister a-s president. At Cardiff Police-court on Monday the deputy-stipendiary (Mr. Morton Brown) gave judgment in the case of the plaintiff, Harris. of 111, Cow'bridge road. Cardiff, who had had his water cut off by the corporation officials. The deputy-stipendiary n<v>v adjudged the plaintiff 10s. penalty to cover the whole of the time the water was cut off, the costs to follow the event. Official information has been received at Cardiff to the effect that the £3.000 for the site of the new Customs building was actually voted last month. It appears that wlhm the letter from the Treasury to the Board of Customs was written in January the autho- rities at the Treasury dlid not then see their way to include this it in in the Estimates for 1895-6, but that the a.mourut did, after all, form part of the votes passed by Parlia- ment two or three weeks ago. According to the "Daily Chronicle" cor- respondent at Rome, the Pope has been much affected by the letter of the Archbishop of Canterbury in regard to the union of the Churches It is, however, added that he wul continue to pursue his union projects, l>elieving that his ideas will be realised in the course Ü\f time. His Holiness, added the correspondent's cardinal informant, would much rather have opposition than silence from the Anglican Episcopacy, for he desires. before everything that all his projects should be understood and discussed in England. It is probable that the Pope will reply, or cause a, renlv to be made. to the letter of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

That intrepid memtier of the Ghurch mili- tant, Mr. Robert Lewis, the 'wall-known tithe bailiff in West Wales, has taken to him- self a wife from the fair daughters of Cardi- land, and the Rector of Llanfyraaeh is busy ing himself in building up a, sudta-ble testi- monial to the tithe champion—ia praiseworthy ooject which the clergy m C-ardiganshire and Carmarthenshire are likely to view with con- siderable favour. Mr. Lewis, no doubt, has performed Ms work with much appreciable firmness and a great deal of tact, often under circumstances peculiarly trying, but it is a fallacy to think that it was he that broke the backbone of the anti-titlie agitation. That movement, like a cyclonic disturbance, died a natural death, having exhausted its force and energies. If any external means contri- buted to its disappearance it way Mr. Asquith's Bill, or, rather, the discuss on upon it in Parliament. Once the farmers of Wales discovered the, true character of b!lilt Bill, and that there was no profit to be made out of the Church, they pud their dues like sen- sible men. Later OIL wt may miriy expect tt see them turn round upon those interested individuals who deceived and egged them on. The preacher and the board school master in South Cardiganshire have much to answer for when the day of reckoning tonnes. The interesting- discussion which followed Captain Hinde's paper on cannibali-m before the -anthropological section of the British Association at Ipswich on Saturday brought to light one or two facts connected with Welsh social life which are entitled to a passing notice. Mr. Hartland, of Gloucester, referred1 in, the course of his comments to an old custom which obtained in Wales in times gone by, and which was called "sin-eating." As late as 1851 traces of it still survived in the Swansea Valley, and it would be worth while inquiring whether they have com- pletely disappeared. The "sin-eater" wa.s the individual who literally "took the cake" at the death of a neighbour, and in oorisum- Jhg it was supposed to "eat" the sins of the deceased. The custom was a relic of bar- barism, and shows with what tena- city old beliefs and institutions hold on. The student of man and his ways must feel regret that so many ancient customs and usages have been relegated to oblivion. beyond any possibility of re-call. But it was hardly expected that they should have survived in a country like Wailies, which has given itself over to the Sunday ociiool and the Bible. It is a mistaken policy, however, to drive out ancient customs, for they form links between the present and the past, and relieve modern social life of much of the monotony which enters into its very texture. Welsh C (> ng r eg a ti on 9 li s te have good reasons to mourn the loss of Mrs. William Owen, wife of the famous missionary 1\llllO has done such g'(;od work in the Ciiin-a mission field. Only a. few particulars respecting the decease of Mrs. Owen have come to hand, but we a-re in a. position to learn that her death was not due to any of those nmlignant outburst.s of persecution in China with which we are only too familiar of late. His relatives &nd friends, and, indeed, his countrymen gene- rally, will deeply sympathise with Mr. Owen in his bereavement, especially now that he has been deprived of the comfort and encourage- ment of one who was ever hr's true helpmeet in all his endeavours. The event has cast a gloom over the Ohina, mission field, where -^r. Owen is so weM knofwn and is held in such deserved repute. This is. par excellence, the Collector's Age. There is scarcely anything, however small, of the slightest interest in itself with the acquisition of which some rider of a hobby does not concern himself. Rare books. old china, old armour, coins, postage stamps, these are amongst the thou- sand and one objects whioi the collector claims as his own, and will, in nia-ny instances, cheerfully spend fabulous sums to obtain. Amongst the miscellaneous objects of what Mrs. Malaprop called "bigotry alia virtue book-plates take a conspicuous position, and, though in them- selves comparatively insignificant, hundreds of eminent and cultivated men and women devote themselves to their collection, and there are several societies and magazines de- voted to the' subject. The journal of the Ex Libris Society for September contains a re-print and description of the book-plate of Mr. Henry Blackwell, a very well-known Welsh collector resident in New York. Here is its description, as given in the journal This plate was designed and engraved by Mr. Edwin D. French. The red dragon and the motto surrounding it mean in English, "The red dragon sets all in motion." The vignette shows a view of Harlech Castle, North Wales. The other little sketch depicts a-n old bookbinder at work, Mr. Blackwell being a bookbinder. The book displayed shows a handsome binding in the Derome style. The lettering on the backs of the •four books' indicate the hobbies of Mr. BlackweH-bookbinding, book-plates, Welsh history, and Welsh bibliography. This plate is used for general literature. We have just come across a statement in the "New Age" which is, on the face of it, absurd, and meds no public refutation. The writer in that magazine 4ays that eleven- twelfths of the Welsh people repudiate Anglicanism and all its works. It is the old familiar fallacy over again, "Walts is a nation of Nonconformists," which has bten shown to be as untrue as it is absurd. What- ever weaknesses belong to the Church in Wales, it is only fair that the truth should be told in regard to it. Let us for a moment look at t-hf statement of the writer in the "New Age" in the light of the figures of the last census. The population of Wales and Monm'ou(thsh/;re in 1891 was 1,771,451. The number of adherents of the four leading Nonconformist bodies on their own showing is 832.357, which is less than half of the whole population. Thus there is left the number of 939,094 who are of no religious creed or belong to the Church of England. In the face of these facts it is simply foolish to try and prop up the statement that Wales is a nation of Dissenters, a phrase, we believe, which can be traced to the late Mr. Henry Richard, a ma.n who. whatever his good wishes in regard to Wales were, was singularly ignorant oif its religious and social condition for the la-st thirty years of his life. The touching event which took place at Dinas Powis on Monday evening showed only too well how Canon Edwards was loved by his old parishioners, and how much they regret his going to Llandevaud. No parish priest has ever had the satisfac- tion of living in closer touch with his people than Canon Edwards in his late charge, a.nd a more genuine address on leaving could not have been presented to any man. He goes to his new charge accompanied by the sincerest wishes of his old parishioners. The latter, however, may take comfort in the fact that in Canon Edw-ards'g successor thev have a thorough gentleman and a Christian, a man of spiritual and mental power and great personal influence, so that his appoint- ment in all respects is a very satisfactory one. The decision of the Cardiff Deputy-sti- pendiary in the ease Newman v. the Mayor. Aldermen, and Burgesses of Cardiff is of the highest importance and interest, not only to the whole of Cardiff, but to enry dis- trict both in England and Wales which is supplied by water either by a water com- pany or by a municipal authority. It has been the custom for very many years for the waterworks authorities to out off the water supply from the tenants of houses in respect of which the landlord paid the water- rate whenever the landlord was in arrear with his water-rates in respect thereof. This, it iwall a.t once be seen, was a great hardship to the; tenant, for the reason that he had to be the sufferer through no fault of his own, but entirely through the default of his landlord, for it followed that as long as ever the landlord delayed paying the water-rate the water supply of the tenant would remain cut off. It is unnecessary to say that the vast majority of the houses in Cardiff and in the country generally are held by weekly tenants a.t a weekly rent, the landlord paying tlie rates. It wild then be readily seen what a great revolution in favour of the tenants in Ca/rdiff this decision will bring about. For the result of the decision of the learned dapi"ty-s-tipendiary is tthat in future, •wherever tiie landlord of a house is liable for the wm<e 1 rate, the tenant will be secured agams | having the wat-u- supply of his house off. The case was brought under 4 of the Water Companies Regulation Powers Act, 18<37. Strangely enough. solicitor under wln.se advice this action waS tuken against the corporation is himsdi a member of that body. We have thi* week the plea-sure We have this week the pleasure the unanimous invitation of Cardiff County Council to beconi mayor of the town for next J"e The town is to be congratulated 011 his lore ship's decision, and may reasonably forward to a year of office characterised J unqualified success.

PUBLIC-HOUSE REFORM- I THE GOTHENBURG SYSTEM I RADNORSHIRE. A novel experiment in the conduct of public-house has been made at Elan Vi.;]¡¡,ge, near Rhayader, Radnorshire. A c;lu*+y,e has been constnicted in the village for use of the navvies who are employed by Birmingham Corporation at the watered there. The leading spirit in this •* venture is Mr. E. A. Lees, secretary to water department. An experienced p11" 1 house manager was appointed to take char»,g at a good Siakry, he undertaking to Pr°T service and expenses of management, ^'id be responsible for the takings. He QU1 understands that he is thought no highly of if his sales are high than if are low, whereas should there be any turbance or drunkenness he would held responsible for it. No difficulty of kini lias arisen up till now. The tab*? of ths canteen vary considerably, l)eeii, under the new management, a-s l°w j, £ 20 a week in the winter, aind are now || much as £ 60 to £ 70. The net profits March 31 were £ 140. Mr. Lees, in a l?4* to the secretary of the Navvy Miss't>I1'JJ says:—"The profit, for the present, barf- applied in the maintenance of a reading 1,1 recreation room for the men. We have a erected a gymnasium, which is ve popular with the 'nippers' and younger Men, I tiiink, probably, the profits of the 0311 in the curient half-year will more th à. suffice to support the recreation-room, ^e in case they do, they will be devoted by 1 committee in some other way for the soC!„) [ benefit of the inhabitants. I have, seV'0 I times, in speaking of tlie canteen, desd'J J it as an illustration of a municipal P. ^0p house, on the lines suggested by the of Chester, and, so far as I know, it 's. ,r. only thing of the kind in the United K1 dcm. Naturally, therefore, the experiIlie is an interesting one."
