RUBBING EASES PAIN. ACCIDENTS & AILMENTS. Elliman First Aid in Accidents & Ailments, Massage, Hygiene of the Athlete. 256 pp. illustrated. ISi fpf iSi K M&9K' HUMAN SOSSSC5! ELLIMAN SQNS5C!|I ^SLOUGH/ENG -^1 THE ELLIMAN R.E.P. BOOK While many persons are gifted with ordinary intelligence and common sense, the capacity for using these qualities in cases oi accidents and ailments is fre- quently absent, owing to the want of a little practical knowledge. All that is needed to supply this want are certain plain rules, and information which will enable non-professional persons to ren- der immediate aid in the many circumstances of accident and illness which occur in our daily life. An opportunity of obtaining a work essentially practical and freed from theoretical statements now presents itself in the Elliman R.E.P. Book, which in this con- nection is invaluable, and which should have a place in every home —not on the bookshelves, but on the tables. The volume is a most interestingand valuable contribu- tion to medical and First Aid literature, and as a guide will be found of great practical utility, and should do much towards saving the lives of those who are stricken where no professional help is forthcoming. I MASSAGE. In this work chapters, among others, are given dealing very ex- haustively with such all-important subjects as Massage, Wounds, Rheumatism, Bronchitis, Affec- tions arising from taking cold," Sprains, Injuries of the Joints, Dislocation, Fractures, Burns, Scalds, Common Ailments, Hy- giene of the Athlete, etc., and they are all treated in such a sound, sensible, and up-to-date mannerthat a perusal of the book cannot fail to demonstrate how well qualified the author was to undertake this work, and how successful he has been in pro- ducing a popular handbook which is as interesting as it is valuable.

( LATE SIR H.M. STANLEY IMPRESSIVE SERVICE IN THE ABBEY. The realisation of the late Sir Henry Stan- ley's wish to find a final resting-place beside Dr. Livingstone in Westminster Abbey was considered impracticable by the Dean and Chapter, and exigencies of space alone might Wei' ^1 £ -Ve influenced their decision when regard is had to the number of graves which had to be disturbed to make room for the CC v>n ^r" Gladstone. Short of such realisation, however, every possible honour was on Tuesday paid to the memory of a great African traveller, and the mortal remains of Stanley before being taken to Pirbright for interment found a brief rest- ing place within the sacred fane where he I wished them to remain permanently, and were the subject of one of the most beauti- fully-impressive and solemn services which i could well be imagined. There was, too, a special association with the memory of Living- stone. The celebrated doctor's daughter and grandchild took a prominent part in the obsequies. The explorer's grave in the nave of the Abbey was crowned with a wreath of laurels and bays, and it was arranged that Sir Henry Stanley's body should pass close by. if not actually over, the tomb of his great prototype. Large as the Abbey is, the demands upon its accommodation on special occasions are altogether too great to be met, and on this occasion admission was, perforce, restricted very targely to ticket-holders; but in the streets outside thousands- congregated to witness the passing of the honoured remains to and from the building. It was noticeable that the great bulk of the sightseers were either dressed in black or4 displayed some out- ward token of mourning. Just before 11.30 the coffin was borne out of the house and placed upon an open funeral car. As it was brought into public view the people uncovered almost to a man, and stood bareheaded in almost complete silence as long as it remained in sight. The casket was a plain oaken one, covered by a purple and gold pall. It had been the original intention to constitute a pall of the many floral offer- ings sent by friends and admirers of the dead traveller, but the number of these was so great that, short of invidious selection, this proved impracticable. The car was drawn by four horses, and the following pall-bearers walked beside it as escort:—Mr. Livingstone Bruce (grandson of Dr. Livingstone), Sir Alfred Lyall, Dr. Scott K>ltie, and Sir George T. Goldie on one side, with Mr. A. G. M. Jephson, the Duke of Aber- corn, Mr. Henry S. Wellcome, and Sir Harry Johnston on the other. Mr. Denzil Morton Stanley (the adopted son) and various male relatives followed on foot, while three car- riages conveyed the following lady relatives and friends:—Lady Stanley (widow), Mrs. Ten- nant (her mother), Mrs. Myers, Mrs. C. Coombe Tennant and Miss Tennant, Mrs. Livingstone Bruce (daughter of Dr. Living- stone), Mrs. Wellcome, Mrs. Finlay, and Mies Sylvia Myers. Within the nave of the Abbey the cortege was received by the Abbey clergy and choir. The clergy were in full force, and were joined by Archdeacon Sinclair, from St. Paul's Cathedral. Dean Robinson and Canon Duckworth were conspicuous in ornate copes. Sir Frederick Bridge presided at the great organ, and had the assistance of an orches- tra of drums, trumpets, and trombones, which greatly enhanced the beauty and volume of the music. Schubert's "March Solennelle" was first played; then came Chopin's beautiful funeral march, and lastly Purcell's funeral music for trumpets and trombones. The last selection (with- out organ accompaniment) was rendered with almost weird effect, and was suc- ceeded by a few moments of tense and solemn silence. "I am the Resurrection and the Life," the opening sentence of the Burial Service, spoken in clear, incisive tones by one of the officiating clergy, brought the great congregation to its feet and announced the arrival of the funeral procession. Six huge lighted candles, in tall oak sconces, were placed, sentinel-like, three on either side of the bier. The pall was partially drawn away from the head of the coffin, disclosing the following inscription on the lid:- "Henry Morton Stanley, G.C.B., D.C.L., LL.D., Ph.D., 'Bula Matari,' explorer of Africa. Born 10th June, 1840; died 9th May, 1904." ("Bula Matari." the rook-breaker, the all- powerful, was a name bestowed upon Stanley by the African natives.) Within the choir special seats had been reserved for distinguished guests, and here were observed, among others, the Hon. Sidney Greville (representing the King), the Belgian Minister (representing the King of the Belgians), Sir Clement Hill, chief of the African Department of the Foreign Office (which office he represented), the United States Ambassador, the French Minister (representing the Ambassador), Earl and Countess Roberts, the Speaker and Mrs. Gully, and the Bishop of Ripon and Mrs. Boyd Car- penter. Among the representatives of Wales present were the Mayors of Cardiff and Denbigh, the Rev. W. Hughes, Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P., Sir John Jenkins and Lady Jenkins. Judge Williams, "Morien," Mr. John Boraston (representing the Liberal Unionist Federa- tion), and Master Christopher Tennant, nephew of the deceased. Among the senders of wreaths were Lieutenant-general Sir James Hilis-Johnes, V.C., G.C.B.. Sir John Jones Jenkins, Miss Elaine Jenkins, Colonel Pryce- Jones, M.P., Mr. A. T. Williams, and the students of the African Institution, Colwyn Bay, with deepest sympathy, and as a token of appreciation of great and noble work." Amid renewed manifestations of deepest sympathy and respect the re-formed proces- sion. on leaving the Abbey, made its way to the Necropolis Station, and the funeral train left for Pirbright soon after one o'clock. The solemn cortege was here reverently greeted by a few simple villagers, who had, no doubt, during their lives read or heard of the doings of the great explorer, and who had left their humble cottages to gaze with wonder on the casket containing all that remained of Stanley. The grave, at the end of the ground farthest from the quaint little church, whose spire could only just be se-en over the tree tope, had nothing at present to distinguish it from that of the humblest soul resting there. The simplicity of the whole thing came as a shock when contrasted with the stately service in the grey old Abbey away in London; but, then, this very simplicity was responsible for many real tears, which would probably have been restrained under the influence of great pomp and circumstance. The service was concluded, and after a few moments of silence, broken only by the rustling of the trees in the breeze, the mourners left the sacred spot, and everyone present stepped forward to take a last, long look at the resting-place of "Bula Matari." PROPOSED STANLEY MEMORIAL. Mrs. Livingstone Bruce (daughter of Dr. Livingstone) has addressed a letter to Mr. A. Mounteney Jephson, the sole surviving officer of Stanley's expeditions, urging that a memo- rial should be raised to the late explorer. Mr. Jepbson, in reply, promises his earnest support of any memorial which may be I raised.

I WARSHIP'S VISIT POSTPONED. The visit of his Majesty's ship Spartan to Penarth Roads has been postponed for a fort- night. The cruiser is now at Ilfracombe. At a public reception given to his Majesty's ship Spartan at Ilfracombe on Tuesday Com- mander Heneage said that from the Mumbles he made for Cardiff, where he proposed to stay for a few days, but the wind was against him, and he crossed to Ilfracombe. The crew landed at the pier, and, headed by the artillery band, paraded the streets and indulged in field drill at Hillsborough. On returning the men were given refreshments. The council went on board and presented an address, and Commander Heneage promised to return in August.

MEETING OF CONCILIATION BOARD. A quarterly meeting of the Board of Conciliation fc-r the coal trade of Mon- mouthshire and South Wales was held at the office of the Coalowners' Association, Cardiff. on Saturday. Mr. Fred L. Davis presided over the owners' side, while Mr. W. Abraham ("Mabon"), M.P.. occupied the chair for the workmen's representatives. The most important subject down for con- sideration was the rate of wages for the three months commencing the 1st of June, with reference to which the following notices appeared on the agenda: (1.) To consider a proposal from the owners' representatives that the general rate of wages shall be reduced to the extent of 5 per cent., on the grounds that the owners con- tend that they are entitled to the said reduction having regard to the award of Sir David Dale fixing the selling price of 11s. lOd. per ton as equivalent to the minimum wage rate of 30 per cent. above the standard, and also that the existing rate of wages is not justified by the average selling price of coal. (2.) To consider a proposal from the work- men's representatives that the general rate of wages shall be advanced 33 per cent.. on the grounds that the workmen conaider that they are entitled to this advance by the higher pnce obtained, increased output, and the improved state of trade generally. The proceedings were such as to excite a good deal of interest outside, owing to the fact that the case" got up on this occasion would, it was believed, be presented to the new independent chairman, Sir Michael Hicks- Beach. This, however, was rendered unnecessary, as both sides, after an informal conference, decided to withdraw their demands, and leave matters as they were. OFFICIAL REPORT. At the close of the proceedings the following official report was furnished by Messrs. Abraham, Dalziel, and Richards:— "A meeting of the board of conciliation for the coal trade of Monmouthshire and South Wales was held at Cardiff tday, Mr. Fred L. Davis preefding over the employers' section and Mr. W. Abraham, M.P., over the repre- sentatives of the workmen. There was a full attendance. The board proceeded to a discussion of the proposal of the owners' representatives that the general wage-rate should be varied by a reduction of 5 per cent., and also a pro- posal of the workmen's representatives that the wage-rate should be advanced to the extent of 33 per cent. "After a very full consideration of both of these proposals, it was resolved that the wages shall remain unchanged for the ensu- ing three months. "The agenda to the notice calling the meet- ing contained a list of collieries where dis- putes are now pending, but owing to the full nature of the discussion on the general wage question it was found necessary to adjourn the consideration of these disputes until next Friday. "Whitsun Holidays.—The workmen's repre- sentatives proposed that Whit-Monday and the following day, namely, the 24th inst., be granted to the workmen as Whitsun holidays, and the employers' representatives agreed to this proposal. "Annual Demonstration.—It was also sug- gested by the workmen's representatives that a date during the month of June should be granted for the purpose of holding the annual demonstration in the various districts, an identical day to be taken in all the districts, and this was agreed to by the employers." DISPUTE IN SWANSEA VALLEY. The workmen at the Diamond Colliery Ystradgynlais, have been idle for the past few I days owing to a dispute respecting the gradient of a screen. MINERS' MEETINGS. PONTYPOOL AGENT AND MINERS' WAGES. Speaking at a mass meeting of miners held at the Greyhound Hotel, Blaenavon, Mr. James Winstone, miners' agent for the Eastern Valleys, in alluding to the wages question, said he was glad to find that the employers in the South Wales coalfield were at last treating the new board seriously as a medium for conciliation. As a result, wages would remain in statu quo. He congratu- lated the Blaenavon Lodge upon being able to get 43 per cent. upon their wages for the next three months, especially when they con- sidered the redactions that had taken place in other districts. It was deplorable to think that there were so many men in the South Wales coalfield who were working at the low standard wage-rate of 2s. 9d. to 3s. per day. Referring to the hauliers' question, Mr. Win- stone said that something must be done to re-adjust the wages of those hauliers who were now so much under-paid. He sincerely hoped that both parties would face the ques- tion on Friday with a determination to find a solution. (Applause.) It was rumoured in some places that the hauliers were likely-to break away from the Federation, but he did not think there was much fear of that coming about in their district. He had placed the matter fairly before the hauliers, and they had left it entirely in his hands to be dealt with by the Conciliation Board. COLLIERS' MEETING AT EBBW VALE. A mass meeting of the colliery workmen of Ebbw Vale and district was held on Waun- pound on Saturday evening. Mr. Evan Davies presided. The meeting was called in con- sequence of 205 of the workmen having received summonses for alleged breach of con- tract, the hearing having been fixed at a special court to be held at Ebbw Vale on Friday next. A strong feeling prevailed in favour of stopping the whole of the collieries on Friday. However, it was decided to work on that day.-A resolution was adopted that the action of the employers in using such drastic measures should be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the Federa- tion, so that some united course could be, taken throughout South Wales and Mon- mouthshire.—A resolution in favour of the candidature of Mr. Thomas Richards for West Monmouthshire was carried. MERTHJYB DISTRICT OF MINERS. The monthly meeting of the Merthyr District of Miners was held on Saturday night at the Penydarren End Inn, Merthyr. Mr. David Barlow occupied the chair.—The amount of money received was £ 159.—Mr. Daniel Lewis was elected trustee of the old- age pension fund.—There were eight candi- dates nominated for the position of junior auditor.—A sum of £ 10 was voted to the Anthracite District. MONMOUTHSHIRE WESTERN VALLEYS MINERS. The monthly council meeting was held at Abertillery on Saturday, the vice-president (Mr. Matthews) occupying the chair. In the course of his report the agent (Mr. W. Brace) ieferred to disputes at the Araei Griffin, Six Bells, Colliery, relative to the heading and day-wage men, clod measure- ments, &c. He stated that the price-list for the Vivian Old Coal Seam had been signed, and great satisfaction was expressed by the council at the peaceful termination of the matter. The question of broken trams at various collieries was discussed, and the agent 1 was instructed to consider the matter of customs at the various collieries. The report was adopted.. was adopted.. It was decided that the question of pay- ment for "porters" and "flats" at Lancaster's Steam Coal Collieries should be raised again on different points before the county-court judge, the council having considered counsel's opinion thereon. TAFF AND CYNON MINERS. The monthly meeting of the Taff and Cynon miners took place on Tuesday at the Work- men's Institute, Mountain Ash. Mr. E. Lovell presided. With regard to the annual demon- stration it was decided to celebrate it in the course of next month at the local pavilion. There was a long discussion anent tne prac- tice existing for the deduction by Messrs. the Nixon's Navigation Company of a certain amount from the wages of Irish workmen in favour of the Roman Catholic school. It transpired that there were some workmen who were opposed to any such deduction,' though there were others who had bound themselves thereto under an agreement. Finally, a deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr. H. E. Gray (managing director for Nixon's Company) with a view to discussing the matter. The contributions received since the laet meeting amounted to E381. MINERS' MONTHLY MEETINGS. We are requested by Mr. J. Williams, miners' agent, nd Mr. W. E. Morgan. secretary of the Western District of the South Wales Miners' Federation, to state that, notwith- standing the holiday, the monthly meeting of the delegates from the various lodges in that district will be held on Whit-Monday.

THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. DEFINITIONS SETTLED IN THE RECENT AWARD. At the request of both masters and men, Sir Kenelm Digby, the arbitrator who recently sat to settle outstanding bones of contention in the tin-plate trade, sat at the Hotel Metro- pole, Swansea, on Tuesday for about an hour, in order to define certain points in his award- which the masters and men have been at variance in interpreting. These points were chiefly three-the area of Canadas and doubles; the payment for a single process of annealing: and a question respecting lap- ping of the packing boxes. The masters present included Mr. Trubshaw, the president of the association, and several leading employers; and, representing the npen, Messrs. Ben Tillett, John Hodge, and the leaders of the other Unions con- cerned. The employers' contention with regard to Canadas and doubles, that they must be paid on the same area as what is known as common substance," and not on any area existing according to a previous rule, was upheld by the arbi- trator, and, therefore, the men will be paid on 31,500 inches, as other plates. The arbi- trator was asked by the men to state that, although he had divided the lis. 8d. for annealing black and white plates, yet where only the one process of black annealing was done the rate should be 7s. 8d., as before. This he answered in their favour. He also complied with the men's version that the farthing per box he had allowed for "lapping" did not include any subsidiary work con- nected with that operation, such as fetching and removing the boxes, &c. This means that the masters will have to pay for extra labour I in this department considerably over- balancing the reduction in the price of lapping." WELSH WORKERS RETURNING FROM AMERICA. It is stated that a number of Welsh tin- platers, mostly from Morriston, are about to return from the United States to Wales, owing to the condition of the American tin- plate market and the fact that only part time is worked and reductions of wages have been enforced.

STATE OF EMPLOYMENT. The Labour Department of the Board of Trade announce that the general state of employment in April showed little change as compared with March, but, on the whole, it slightly improved as compared with a year ago. However, a decline continues to be shown, and the percentage of unemployed Trade Union members is higher than the mean percentage for April in the past ten years. The principal changes in the rates of wages reported were decreases affecting 35.000 coal miners in Northumberland and 1,800 brick- layers in Glasgow.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS. MORE SKELETONS DISCOVERED IN GLAMORGAN. The sand dunes lying along the shore between the Ogmore and Briton Ferry afford exceptiona.1 opportunities for archaeological research, and for some years an explora- tion of the many barrows which are here to be found has been in progress. As a result a number of interesting bronze and flint instruments, pottery, and other prehis- toric relics have found their way to the Cardiff and Swansea museums. About Easter we described the finding of three skeletons in one of the barrows, and last week further dis- coveries of a similar kind were made. The accompanying sketches show the "ciste" or stone tombs in which the bodies were interred within the barrows. Speaking of last week's find, the first cist unearthed, which contained the skeleton of a man, was, curiously, of a circular shape, and with a diameter of 3ft. lin. This is the first circular cist which has been discovered in this district, all found previously having been in an irregular rectangular form; and this uncommon shape, considered together with the shape of the dead man's skull, is believed to point to an interment of more than usual antiquity. No domestic utensils were found with this body, which was buried on its side, with the head resting on a stone, and look- ing towards the south. The legs were' drawn up, with the knees level with the chest-the position in which nearly all bodies of that long-ago period were interred. In another cist, of the usual shape, two skeletons were found, of which the size and formation showed that they were those of children of probably six or seven years of age. They were lying very close together, and with their faces towards one another. All the eight skeletons which have recently been found in the district are now in the hands of Professor Hepburn, of Cardiff University College.

CAMMELL LAIRD'S WORKS. PROSPECT OF REMOVAL TO SOUTH WALES. A Workington, West Cumberland, correspon- dent, referring to the rumour prevalent there that Meesre. Cainmell, Laird, and Co. are about to remove their works from Workington, says the officials at the works say they have no information on the subject. He neverthe- less states that the question has been under consideration. He understands that early in this year it was proposed to remove the works to South Wales, and that it was only by a slight majority that it was decided to remain at Workington. The question is now being re-considered, but if it is decided to move-a. decision which would have to be confirmed by the share- holders-it will be to South Wales or to the East Coast, and not to Birkenhead. The prin- cipal factor weighing with the directors is the railway rate on coke from the Durham coalfields, which is about 7s. per ton. That is a heavy handicap; but there are facilities at Workington which are not enjoyed at some places, which come in as a set-off.

Y mae cwpan hawddfyd yn godedig at fin Cymru; y llywodraeth. wedi dweyd yn blaen wrth ei harweinwyr —"dim ond i chwi benderfynu ar y dref sydd i fod eich prif-ddinas, fe ofalwn ninau i roddi i chwi bob cynorthwy arianol angenrheidiol i adeiladu a chynal; Amgueddfa a Llyfrgell Genedlaethol"; ond y mae rhagfarnau lleol yn mynd i'w tharo ymaith yn ddiseremoni a'i thori yn deilchion o flaen llygaid y genedl oedd yn dysgwyl cael edrych ar yr arddaneosiadau allanol hyn o'i bywyd cenedlaethol. Cymru ei hunan ddylai benderfynu y cwestiwn, ae. nid ei ymddiried i estron- ddyn neu ddynion heb fod yn gwybod ond y nesaf peth i ddim am ein hanghen- ion nac yn meddu y cydymdeimlad lleiaf a dyheadau cenedl wermol fel ag yw Cymru. SEFYDLIADAU GWERINOL. Y mae'n amlwg fod awdwyr y cynllun a'r pwyllgor a'i mabwysiadodd wedi colli golwg ar y ffaith mai gwerin Cymru sydd wedi gwneud y fath sefydliadau yn bosibl; y werin sydd wedi bod am genedl- aethau yn dadleu y dylai y Llywodraeth ymddwyn at Gymru yr un fath ag at Scotland a'r Iwerddon; ac i lanw angen a deimlir gan y werin y bwriedir yr Am- gueddfa a'r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol. Er fod genym golegau a Phrifysgol, ar y werin y rhaid i Gymru ymddibynu am ei bywyd; oblegid, fel yn y gorphenoi, o honi hi y cyfyd ei harweinwyr yn mhob cylch i ymladd ei brwydrau ac i gyfoeth- ogi ei llenyddiaeth. Eiddo cyfiawn gwerin Cymru yw ei holl sefydliadau cenedlaethol; ac os yw'r Amgueddfa a'r Llyfrgell fwriadedig yn mynd i fod yn rhywbeth amgenach, ni ohyrhaeddant un amcan, ac ni byddant ond sefydliadau meirwon, heb un amcan i'w bodolaeth. Y mae y syniad o godi y Llyfrgell yn Aberystwyth am fod yno Goleg yn anghyson a holl deimladau y genedl, a, syrth yn fyr o lanw ei hangen; a'i boddloni. Rhaid eu codi, nid yn unig yn y dref fwyaf man- teisiol i'r nifer luosocaf o drigolion Cymru, ond rhaid iddynt hefyd fod o dan reolaeth y cyhoedd, wedi eu hadeiladu ar y llecyn mwyaf cyhoeddus, ac heb tod yn dal cysylltiad a na Choleg nac un sefydl- iad arall. Eiddo y cyhoedd ddylent fod, ac y rhaid iddynt fod cyn y deuant yn boblogaidd ac i fod o un gwasanaeth. BETH DDYLAI BENDERFYNU Y CWESTIWN? Fe ddywedir fod Syr John Williams, y meddyg enwog o'r Plas, Llanstephan, a Mr. J. H. Davies, o'r Cwrtmawr, wedi penderfynu cyflwyno eu llyfrgelloedd i Aberystwyth-i lyfrgell y coleg os na lwyddir i gael yr un genedlaethol i'r dref hono. Pa mor werthfawr bynag yw y trysorau llenyddol sydd yn meddiant y ddau foneddwr uchod, a pha faint bynag o ganmoliaeth sy'n ddyledus iddynt am eu haelfrydedd a'u dymuniadau da at Aberystwyth a'r coleg, y maejr amodau ar unwaith yn gwahardd i Ai edrych; arnynt fel cymwynaswyr conedlaethol nac fel rhai o ddifrif yn amcanu at ddyrchaf- iad Cymru yn genedlaethol. Llwyddiant I tref neillduol; rhoddi tipyn o hynod- rwydd ar Aberystwyth, a'i dwyn 1 fwy o gyhoeddusrwydd yw'r unig am can sydd mewn golwg gan y rhai sy'n dadleu dros sefydlu y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol yn Y i dref hono. Ac os apwyntia y Llywodr- aeth gyflafareddwr neu gyflafareddwyr i benderfynu y lleoliad, fe ddylai y pethan hyn gael eu gwyntyllu yn briodol i brofi mai nid llesiant gwlad, ond buddiannau tref neillduol, sydd wrth wraidd y cynyg- j ion haelfrydig a wneir y dyddiau hyn; gyda golwg ar hen lyfrau a llawysgrifau Oymreig. Gadawer i'r cwestiwn 0 brif- ddinas ac o'r sefydliadau cenedlaethol wna ddilyn gael ei benderfynu ar linellau hollol genedlaethol; chwilier i mewn beth yw dyhead Cymru a'r modd effeithiolaf i'w lanw; pa dref, yn nerth ei brwd- frydedd cyhoeddus, sydd wedi gwneud fwyaf eisoes i gadw a chasglu hen lyfrau a llawysgrifau a chywreinion ac sydd debycaf o wneud hyny yn y dyfodol; pa dref a rydd gyfle i'r nifer luosocaf o Gymry i wneud defnydd o'r sefydliadau cenedlaethol; pa dref y gellir ei chyr- j haedd rwyddaf o bob man—o bob pentref i o Gaergybi i Gaerdydd ac o Lanandras i Dyddewi; a pha dref all fforddio cadw yr Amgueddfa a'r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol yn y cyflwr ag y bydd urddas cenedl yn ei hawlio. Dyna'r pethau ddylai gael1 ystyriaeth yr awdurdod a fydd yn pender- I fynu y lleoliad, a dim arall; ac os gadewir i ddim arall ddweyd yn ffafr unrhyw dref, fe wneir cam dybryd a Chymru, ac ni bydd yr arian a werir ond yn ofer a di- fudd. PWY SY'N YMLADD EIN BRWYDBAU? Ie, pwy sydd rhoddi cannoedd, os nid miloedd, o bunnau i Gymru gael ei chyd- nabod yn briodol fel oenedl gan y Llyw- odraeth? Onid Caerdydd fu'n blaenori ac yn ceisio deffro Cymru i ddod allan i hawlio lie ar y Human cenedlaethol a'r arian batliol; ac er na lvvyddwyd i'r! graddau a ddymunid, llwyddwyd i gael y "Ddraig Goch" ar bais-arfau Tywysog Cymru. Pwy ond Caerdydd sydd wedi anrhegu y Brifysgol a swyddfeydd ar un o lanerchau mwyaf dymunol y dref—Pare Cathays; a bydd y tir a'r adeilad yn werth tuag ugain mil o bunnau. Yr oedd Caerdydd yn un o'r trefi Cymreig cyntaf 1 ddwyn y Gymraeg i'r ysgolion dyddiol, ao i osod arbenigrwydd ar yr iaith yn yr Yegol Athrawol—y "pupil teachers' centre"—er mwyn cael athrawon yn alluog i ddysgu'r Gymraeg yn yr ysgolion elfennol. Pa dref erioed a roddodd dder- j bad mor galonog a thyvysogatdd a Chaerdydd i'r Eisteddfod Genedlaethol; ac nid oes neb oedd yn bresenol all anghofio caredigrwydd y Maer a Chorffor- iaeth y dref ar ddydd y cyhoeddiad, ac, yn wir, ar hyd dyddiau yr wyl. Nid oes yr un dref yn meddu y fath Amgueddfa a Llyfrgell, ac y mae y rhai hyny, cofier, yn eiddo y dref ac wedi talu am danynt gan y dref hyd at amryw filoedd o bunnau; rhagor, cymhellir y werin-bobl i ddod i weled cywreinion yr Amgueddfa ac i ddarllen y llyfrau. I'r bobl y maent wedi eu bwriadu; er eu mwyn y cedwir hwy yn agored; ac nid oes traul na thrafferth yn cael eu harbed er eu gwneud yn gysurus a hwylus i bob dosbarth o ym- welwyr—efrydvvyr, rhai yn hoff o hen hethau, rhai yn chwilota hen lyfrau a llawysgrifau, darllenwyr cyffredin y newyddiaduron, benthycwyr liyfrau; a'r canoedd sy'n mynd i'r lie y dyddiau hyn i weled y casgliad o'r Beiblau Cymraeg a Beibl byd-enwog Mary Jones. Y mae'r gorfforiaeth hefyd wedi penderfynu codi adeilad newydd, gwerth miloedd o bunnau, i'r Amgueddfa; ac, yn ben ar y cwbl, y mae'n barod i drosglwyddo yr holl bethau hyn yn eiddo cyhoeddus i'r genedl dros byth os penderfynir i'r Amgueddfa a'r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol gael eu lleoli yn Nghaerdydd. Y mae Caerdydd yn baihaus yn mhoethder y frwydr genedl- aethol, gan mor luosog y gelynion ac amled yr ymosodiadau; nid yw byth yn gollwng ei harfau o'i dwylaw a gofala fod ei phylor yn sych a'i chledd yn finiog; ac nid yw erioed wedi methu dal i fyny an- rhydedd ein cenedl a phrofi i'r byd fod ganddi fywyd o honi ac ynddi ei hunan. Siaredir yn isel yn fynych am yr hen iaith, ond y mae Caerdydd yn hawlio ei lie iddi yn addysg y plant ac efrydwyr yr Ysgol Ganolraddol • haerir nad oes genym lenyddiaeth gwerth son am dani, ond y mae yma filoedd ar filoedd o gyfrolau wedi eu casglu i'r un lie i dystio dros y gwir- ionedd; dannodir yn ami nad ydym wedi cymeryd rhan yn adeiladiad yr Ymher- odraeth Brydeinig na dyddordeb yn y celfyddydau a darganfyddiadau, ond fe argyhoeddir y mwyaf rhagfarnllyd o ddylni y fath haeriad dim ond iddo ym- weled ag Amgueddfa Caerdydd. Y mae y bywyd cenedlaethol yn ei nodweddion oreu, yn nghanol gwahanol genedloedd ac ieithoedd ac arferion dyeithr, yn dal ei dir yn ddilwgr, a'r bregeth a'r Ysgol Sul a moddion yr wythnos yn cael eu cynal gyda chysondeb, a'r cyrddau pre- gethu a'r cymanfaoedd yn dal yn eu poblogrwydd; a'r mis nesaf, yn dechreu ar yr ugeinfed, bydd Sassiwn Gyffredinol y Methodistiaid yn cael ei chynal yn Nghaerdydd; ac nid ydys heb ddysgwyl yr argyhoeddir llawer yn ystod eu hym- weliad mai Caerdydd yw'r unig dref a hawl i'r teitl o brif-ddinas Cymru, ac y gellir ymddiried iddi yr Amgueddfa a'r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol gyda phob hyder y gwna gyfiawnder a'r oyfryw fel offer- ynau addysgol i'r werin-bobl yn gystal ag efrydwyr ac fel cofgolofnau o'n bodol- aeth. 0: CROESAWU "ELFED" YN OL. Bellach mae "Elfed" wedi dod at y Cymry. Bu'n grwydryn yn ngwlad y Sais yn hir, ond ar ol hir geisio, fe lwydd- odd eglwys y Tabernacl, King's Cross, Llunden, i'w ddenu yn ol. Y syndod yw mai dyma'r alwad Gymraeg gyntaf a roddwyci i brif-fardd y genedl. Ac er nad yw cystal iddo o ran ystyr arianol a'i hen faes, y mae'n sicr y bydd ei ddy- lanwad a'i barch yn llawer mwy ar ol y cam hwn o'i eiddo yn ol at ei bobl ei hun. Hawdd oedd gweled oddiwrth y dorf fawr ddaeth yn nghyd i'r Tabernacl noc Wener diweddaf fod holl Gymry'r ddinas yn ymfalchio yn yr uniad presenol. a daeth amryw o weinidogion y genedl yno i roddi eu sel gymeradwyol i'r mudiad ac i gydlawenhau a'r eglwys am enill "Elfed" yn fugail. Llywyddwyd y cyfarfod sefydlu gan y Parch. Justin Evans, Lewisham—brawd i "Herber," o fendigedig goffadwriaeth—a chynrych- iolwvd v bvd Seisnie o'r hwn v deuai "Elfed" -gan- y Parch. Sylvester Horne-- George Whitefield yr oes bresenol ao olynydd y seraph tanbaid hwnw yn nghanel Tottenham-court-road; G. Bur- ford Hooke, a Mr. Arthur Thomas. Ar ran y Cymry daeth Mr. D. Lloyd George yno yn arbenig er rhoddi ei sel ar yr undeb, y Parchn. Owen Evans, D.D., Lerpwl (cyn-weinidog y lie); Ossian Davies, Machreth Rees, J. E. Davies, M.A., Jewin; Peter H. Griffiths, R. Ellis Williams, D. J. John, W. Rees, J. Wynne Evans, ac eraill. Wrth agor y cyfarfod, dywedai Justin Evans mai nid cwrdd sefydlu ydoedd-y byddai oeisio sefydlu "Elfed" yn beth anmhosibl. Yr oedd yn deithydd trwy bob rhan o Gymru, a chyn pen chwe mis diau y byddai wedi bod yn ardal enedigol pob un o'r gwran- dawyr yno. Yr oedd y Parch. Sylvester Horne yn llawenhau fod "Elfed" wedi dod i fan mor ganolog, a theimlai y byddai lei ddylanwad ar ei gydgenedl yn sicr o fod yn fawr. Wedi i Mr. T. Davies, ysgrifenydd yr eglwys, roddi hanes yr alwad, galwodd y llywydd ar MR. LLOYD GEORGE. Dywedai Mr. George yn chwareus mai gwaith pleserus bob amser oedd croesawu yr afradlon yn ol. Yr oedd dewisiad eglwys y Tabernacl wedi profi yn ddewis- iad cenedlaethol. Nid pregethwr un enwad oedd "Elfed," eithr i bawb. Mae hyd yn nod fy enwad i, meddai, sydd yn mynd dros ei phen am egwyddorion, yn hawlio "Elfed. Ystyriai ef "Elfed yn un o ddau bregethwyr mawr y genedl heddyw, ao yn y rhes flaenaf o'r beirdd, ac nid ywn salach pregethwr chwaith am ei fod yn fardd. Yr oedd Cymru wedi colli llawer o'i dynion ieuainc mwyaf addawol drwy eu gadael i fynd i'r pulpud Seisnig. Hoffai ef weled llawer o honynt yn dod yn ol. Colled fawr i genedl oedd ei hamddifadu o wasanaeth ei phobl ieuainc mwyaf athrylithgar. Yr oedd ef yn un o'r bobl hyny a gredent yn nyfodol dysglaer ein gwlad. Yr oedd ein pulpud eisoes cyfuwch a phulpud unrhyw genedl; a phaham nas gellid cael ysgol dduwin- yddol hefyd o hono ryw ddydd? Hyderai ef fod dychweliad "Elfed" yn ddechreu cyfnod newydd yn y pulpud Ymneillduol, o herwydd bydd angen am wyr glow amom fel cenedl i'n harwain cyn bo liir. ERAILL YN LLAWENHAU. Dr. Owen Evans a geisiai gyduno a'r clod a roddid i'r bugail newydd. Yr oedd yr eglwys yn un o'r rhai goreu yn mysg yr Annibynwyr Cymreig, ac yr oeddynt wedi llwyddo i gael y ayn goreu i lanw y pulpud yno. Dywedai hyny gyda phob parch i'w frodyr yn y weini- dogaeth. Yr oedd "Elfed," nid yn unig yn bregethwr da, ond yn ddyn da hefyd. Nid oedd un amheuaeth ganddo na fyddai'r capel enwog newydd presenol yn rhy fach cyn pen ychydig amser. Dy- munai bob llwydd iddynt. Y Parch. J. E. Davies, M.A. (Jewin, M.C.), a ddy- munai gyduno yn y llawenydd, a da oedd ganddo weled weled "Elfed" yn ol. Yr oedd Cymru gyfan yn falch o'r undeb, a hyderai y byddai'r achos yn llwyddiant mawr. Yna siaradwyd gan amryw eraill, a diolchwyd yn gynhes i bawb ar y diwedd gan y Parch. Elfed Lewis. -:0:- "CYMRU" MAI. Y mae "Cymru" Mai yn llawn o ysgrifau a chaneuon, gan oreugwyr ein cenedl, ag sy'n ysbrydoli y darllenydd i fwy o ffyda am ddyfodol ei wlad ac yn creu gobaith ynddo y gwelir hi y wlad ddedwyddaf a'r fwyaf llwyddiannus ar wyneb y ddaear.
