Queen and Dying Girl. 'r A SURPRISE VISIT. ,< The Queen, accompanied by Princess Victoria, on Tuesday afternoon paid a sur- prise visit to St. Luke's House, 14, Pembridge- square, Bayswater, and spent half an hour with the patients. The visit was an absolute sur- prise to all the officials of the institution, of which her Majesty is the patroness, and also to the poor girl for whose benefit her Majesty specially made the call. It appears that some days ago Martha Massey, one of the patients in the House/ the existence of which is for the reception of cases of mortal illness in their latest phases, surreptitiously wrote a letter to the Queen, saying how much she should like to see her Majesty. The unfortunate girl, in respectful terms and delightfully simple phraseology, ex- plained that she had been unable to see the Queen when driving through London owing to her illness. Would her Majesty gratify her dying desire by coming to see her before going abroad, because she was afraid she would not be living when her Majesty returned ? Touched by the sincerity of the missive, her Majesty, with characteristic thoughtfulness, on Tuesday afternoon decided to visit Miss Massey. No intimation of her intention was communicated to the house, which was reached at 4.45, her Majesty driving from Buckingham Palace in her white motor car. Arriving at the principal entrance, theQueen inquired Is Miss Massed in ?" The astonished servant who opened the door, and at once recognised her Majesty, replied in the affirmative, and invited the Queen to the room of Miss Brooke Alder, the matron, who was equally astounded. Her Majesty, who was carrying a lovely bouquet of orchids, lilies, carnations, and asparagus fern, explained her mission to Miss Brooke Alder, and was at once escorted to the ward where Miss Martha Massey was lying. For a moment the poor girl was overcome with surpbise and joy, but her Majesty's kindly and sympathetic manner quickly put her at her ease, The Queen thanked the girl for her letter, and after expressing the pleasure it afforded to her to respond to the invitation handed to her the bouquet of flowers she had brought, telling Miss Massey it was specially for her, and that the flowers were cut from the Palace gardens. The girl with eves bedimmed with tears of joy was too full to do more than briefly reply, Thank you, your Majesty." The Queen then passed to other patients, who had been enjoying the good fortune of Miss Massey, and distributed some lovely roses amongst them, besides addressing a few words of sympathy and encouragement to each. A touching incident occurred as her Majesty was about to leave. Whilst chatting with the matron in the hall the Queen heard someone cough, and asked who it was. Being informed that it was Miss Massey, the Queen ordered some cough lozenges to be brought from- her motor-car, and returned with them to the girl's bedside, where she herself placed one of the lozenges in the girl's mouth, and 'handed others to the matron with a -request that they should be given to the patient when she was attacked by severe fits-of coughing.

SHIPPING RINGS COMMISSION. 'I Baltic and White Sea Conferences. The Royal Commission on Shipping Rings and Deferred Rebates sat again on Tuesday, the Right Hon. A. Cohen, K.C., P.C., presiding. Sir W. T. Lewis, Bart., was among those present. Mr W. J. Noble gave evidence respecting the Baltic and White Sea Conference. He said it was an international association of shipowners formed for the purpose of arresting the ruinous competition on the low market prevailing in 1905. That was effected by formulating mini- mum rates of freight for wood cargoes from the Baltic and White Sea. There were no penalties on members nor any inducements offered merchants to favour conference vessels. An important function of the conference, Was the successful adoption of a uniform coal charter party from all coal ports in the United Kingdom to Baltic and White Sea ports. That had put an end to some unreasonable condi- tions of contract which were the means of secretly or openly imposing heavy expenses and hardships upon the shipowner. It had re- stored to an owner the control of his property and interest in foreign ports. There was much other work of a similar character done, all tending by means of information and co- operation to put down abuses and make busi- ness cleaner and conditions generally more equitable' whilst at the same time ,having an intelligent regard for the needs and facilities of modern commerce and its future expansion. Sir W. T. Lewis All that has been secured by your association so far as merchants or freighters are concerned is a settlement of the charter party ?—The witness replied that the benefit affected them all practically. Your association fixed the rates of freight without consultation with the merchants or freighters T—Yes, but not arbitrarily. It is arbitrary so far as you are concerned, because the freighters and merchants have nothing to say to it ?—Not until they come to negotiate, and then it is a matter of individual action. The rate is a subject of negotiation between the individual shipowner and merchant. Mr Charles Booth, jun., gave evidence in regard to the shipping conference and deferred rebates in the North Brazil trade. He said they had no complaints in connection with the rebate system.

SHOT DEAD ON WEDDING DAY. A tragic love story is reported from Palmi, Calabria, where Guiseppe Ragioneri, a work- man aged 24, had fallen in love with Maria Rocca, a girl of 18. The weddinghad been fixed for Monday, but on Saturday Ragioneri told his fiancee that he belonged to in Anarchist league, and that if he were married in a church the brotherhood would have him killed for playing false to his "principles. He implored her to consent to a civil marriage. She refused, declaring that, however much she loved him, she placed her religion above everything. Ragioneri departed in silence, and she did not see him again until yesterday, when, as she was entering the church for the ceremony, hoping that he had relented, he dashed forward and shot her through the heart. He then blew out his own brains.

REFUSED AN OPERATION. The Cardiff Coroner on Wednesday held an inquest on David Rees, 44, Lyndhurst-street, Canton. It appeared that deceased, who was 64 years of age, was a carpenter in the employ of Messrs S. A. Brain and Co., Ltd., and that on January 21st iastrhe met with an accident by falling from some planks on to his left side, fracturing a rib. Mr Evan Davies appeared for Messrs S. A. Brain and Co. DM Donovan stated that the cause of death was strictuie of the gullet, as the result of which deceased was unable to take food. Symptoms of this had set in some weeks before his death, but he declined to undergo an operation. A ver- dict was returned in. ,a.ccordancewith, the medical evidsDca* .1

Caravan in Lake. DISASTER TO SHOW PEOPLE. A terrible accident, by which two persons tost their lives, occurred in the Lake district Dn Tuesday afternooD. About three o'clock a, steam roundabout show was proceeding along the east side of Thirlmere Lake, which supplies Manchester with water, when the second engine, which was drawing two vans containing women and children, turned into the wall, crasbed through it, and-was precipi- bated, with the vans, 150ft. down the embank- ment. The engine was completely immersed in bhe lake, and one of the caravans was up to bhe roof in water, while the other was com- pletely wrecked amid the boulders. The two men on the engine, Frank Wood, of King's Lynn, aged about 26, engine driver, and Thomas Allen, known to the company as Jack," aged 22, were killed outright, being bhrown out half way down the embank- ment. The occupants of the first caravan, all Df whom escaped with slight injuries and burns, were rescued from their perilous posi- tion (being separated from the bank by the deep sloping grove) by employees. A woman and child in the second caravan were extricated from the mass of debris, and were also found to have escaped with only slight bruises. Another of the party escaped by jumping off. The road at the point where the accident happened is wide and perfectly straight, and it is presumed from the wheelmarks of the trac- tion engine that either the steering gear or an axle had given way. The deceased man Wood was a steady driver and had not previously met with an accident during his nine years' service with the company. The safety valve on the engine acted and prevented an explo- sion. After the accident the scene presented a. curious spectacle. The wreckage, which lay about in confusion amid the beautiful sur- roundings of the lake included broken wheels, portions of machinery, household utensils, workmen's tools, feather beds, and children's toys. The occupants of the first caravan were Mrs Relph and her three-year-old daughter, Sarah Beardsworth, aged 23, and Evelyn Blake, aged eight. In the second caravan were Mrs Pullin and her117 months' old child. —————————————

CONCERT AGENJ CHARGED. Alleged Fraud. At Marlborough-street Police Court on Tuesday Laurence Cowen, staying at the Portland Hotel, Great Portland-street, was summoned for having obtained by false pre- tences with intent to defraud from Mrs Ella Amelia Crispin a cheque for JE600, a cheque for JE300, and seourities worth about JE320. Mr Arthur Newton,, for the prosecution, said omplainant had no experience in business, but defendant was a person of business experi- ence who hadposedas" The Lesser Columbus." For the past two or three years he had been calling himself a concert agent, holding him- self out as a company able to obtain engage- ments for artistes, &c. It was alleged he sug- gested complainant should invest her savings in the purchase of shares in his company, and he showed her what purported to be a balance sheet, which indicated that in 14 months a profit of £3,400 had been made. Defendant promised to give her iE3 a week and the same sum to her husband as manager of the com- pany if she would put the money in. She consented to the arrangement, and she and her husband received the sums mentioned till within a few weeks of the present proceed- ings. Defendant told Mrs Crispin he was owner of St. James's Hall, whereas he only had an agreement to take the lease of the hall with a view to an option to purchase. It appeared also that when she parted with her money defendant had a mortgage debenture for JE5,500 over the whole of the assets of the com- pany, but he said nothing about it. Counsel alleged that the company was not a genuine one, that it had not made the profits repre- sented, and that it was registered for the pur- pose of exploiting unbusinesslike persons. After formal evidence, the hearing was adjourned. Mr R. D. Muir appeared for the defence.

A RUINED LIFE. A glimpse of a sad life story was afforded at the inquest held Tuesday at the London Hos- pital on James Kerr, who died in a Spitalsfield lodging-house. Kerr was 32 years old, and was a bachelor of medicine. He was married to an American, but it is not known wherejhis wifeis. After taking his degree he gave way to drinking and acquired the drug habit, with the result that last winter he was in an Aber- deen asylum for three months. He had evi- dently lost his social and professional position and drifted to the East End, where he lived under an assumed name.. A week ago he was found unconscious in bed by the deputy of a lodging-house in Commercial-street, Spitals- fields. He was removed to hospital, but died from opium poisoning. The jury yesterday adopted the view that he had taken an overdose by mistake, and returned a verdict of" Death by misadven- ture."

Mr Jones, in responding, said he had spent 30 years at the Waunlwyd Collieries, and the two pits were now the finest in South Wales. This happy state of affairs was not due to him, but to the hearty co- operation of the officials and workmen. Mr Vyce, miners' agent, spoke of the fair Way in which Mr Jones had always dealt with ques- tions. affecting the workmen. They conld not always expect to agree, but Mr Jones always gave them a fair hearing and reasonable con- sideration. Councillors Evan Davies, J. Barber, Thomas Anthony, and others spoke.

Newport Train Service to Western Valleys A movement is on foot amongst a number of Newport residents who are employed in the WTestern Valleys to induce the Great Western Railway Company to run an early morning workmen's train from Newport to the Valleys. At a meeting held in the Labour Institute, Newport, Councillor Charles Thomas presid- ing, it was stated that scores of workmen living at Newport were employed at various places in the Valley, and that a ntlmber of them were obliged to lodge there.
