l BRITISH PLUCK. Thrilling Rescue by Warships. A gallant rescue by British tars is reported by IhoNow York "Army and Navy Journal." The incfrlont. occurred during a typhoon at Hong Kong on July 27lli, in which twelve vessels and 1,COO lives were lost. It is related by an officer of the British freight steamer Schuylkill, which arrived in Boston on October 15th. While the cyclone was at its highest, and it' was still a question whether th^laf-gest steamera in the port, would survive the storm, the officers of the Schuylkill noticed a vague pencil of iipht through the sheets of rain, lighting up 3l confusion of loose and drifting shipping. For the first two4or three flashes they thought they were mcnanced with the new peril of lightning, but no detonation followed the flash. A lull in the rain showed one of the most gallant sights of the sea. The searchlight of the second- class British cruiser Azelia was following one of her boats while it made a desperate struggle to reach the crew of a foundering Chinese junk. The Schuylkill's officers could hardly believe their eyes to see the ship's boat live. All their attention was riveted on keeping their own steel craft afloat. The pencil of light, now bright, now dim, followed the boat as it was pulled by a crew of stout British tars and managed with almost incredible cleverness by its officer. They saw it alongside the junk, saw the«Chinese tumble into it half dead with fright And fatigue, and disappear beyond the rays of the searchlight. Next morning they leamed thttt.the Chinese were landed safely further down the harbour, but that the boat was crushed like an eggshell against the sea-wall, though the sailors were saved to a man. And," concluded the officer who told ,of the incident, the traditions of the British Navy were maintained." There is no vessel in the British Navy with the name of Azelia, or in any other navy. The story doubtless refers to the Astraea, a sticond- class British cruiser on the China station at the time.

MAD WHEN DRUNK. Before the Newport County magistrates on Tuesday Cteorgr. Henry Dutlon (31), a colliery labourer, of Risca, was charged with three offences, viz.: drunk and disorderly, assault- ing his wife, Annie E. Button (25), and hi3 father-in-law, (reorge Picks (60). Prisoner's wife said they had been married four years and there were three children. On Saturday prisoner turned her and the eight months' old baby out of the house. She stayed during the night with her parents, and on Sun- day came back for the child's clothes. Prisoner their turned the other two children out of the house, and told complainant that if any of them came back he would cut their throats. On Monday night he came to her father's bouse and'meeting her outside struck her twice in the face, and threatened her. She saw in his hand something like a knife and ran away. He was very drunk. During the time they had been married this kind of conduct had at intervals been persisted in. George Dicks, father of complainant, living in Church-terrace, said on Monday night pris- oner came to his house very drunk. He had a knife and threatened to kill somebody. He struck complainant, and the latter then knocked him down. Assistance came and the prisoner was secured. It was stated that prisoner had served 10 years in the Army in India, and when he got drunk he became mad. The Bench sentenced him to one month for each offence, the sentences to run concurrently.

-= = LOSS OF THE PROVVIDENZA. I THE RESCUE OF THE CREW. At the Italian Consulate, Cardiff, on Tuesdav Captain Anastasios Syrmas, master of the Greek steamer Andriana, and a fireman, named Bertohr«i. were presented w;th a silvbr cigar case and silver watch respectively in recognition of their gallant services in the rescue of 16 members of the crew of the Italian steamer Provvidenza, lost off Cape Finisterre. On behalf of the Italian colony and other subscribers the presentations were made by the Consul, Count Dall' Aste Brandolini, and there were also present Countess DaII' Aste Brandolini with her son and daughter Mr Antonio Montferrato, Greek Consul Dr. Chiantore, of the Italian State Railway Commission Captain Mortola, of the Italian Royal Navy and Mr Folcheri, Italian Vice-Consul. Count Dall'Aste, in making the presentations, related the sttlry of the disaster and of the feared loss of the remaining five members of the crew. The vessel seemed to have sprung a leak, and for some time the crew by constant efforts "Succeeded in keeping the water down, but there was a big sea running at the time, and when all the pumps became choked with ashes and small coal the vessel was doomed. The master, Captain Schiaffino, main- tained thorough discipline on board, and there was no panic. Lights were kept burning throughout the night, and early in the morning 16 members of the crew, including all the officers, were rescued. A terrific gale was blow- ing at the time, but when it was discovered that five men were missing Bertulozzi gallantly volunteered to form the first of a search party; which at great peril manoeuvred in the neigh- bourhood for some hours, but without result. The conduct of the master of the Andriana had throughout been characterised not only by great humanity but also by admirable seamanship. The Italians, concluded Count Dall' Aste, saluted the Greek flag and the Greek nation, so worthily represented by Captain Syrmas, and at his request all the Italians present shook hands with h;m. t Captain Syrmas feelingly re- sponded, and at the close of the function the masters of the two vessels embraced and kissed each other affectionately.

-r CHAPEL MONEY CLUB. At Aberavon on Monday David Aubrey, David-row, Cwmavon* was charged on a war- rant with embezzling 15s, the moneys of Thomas Williams, Cwmavon. Mr L. M. Thomas, solicitor, said he understood that the prosecutor had withdrawn the charge. Mr Thomas said he was at first instructed by pro- secutor. but he was now appearing for defen- dant. Defendant had been treasurer for a little money club at Tabor Chapel, Cwmavon. He left the district iri May last, and took the money with him. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Defendant returned in September, and the money, which amounted to about £40, was refunded. Mr Thomas asked the Bench to dis- miss the case. Superintendent Menhennick objected, and the Bench decided that the case must proceed. Sergeant Davies sa4d he arrested defendant at Cwmavon on Sunday night, and when the war- rant was read over to him defendant replied, I am sorry I did it. Circumstances compelled me to do it, as I was out of work at the time. My father has paid all the money back." On the application of Mr Thomas the case was adjourned for 14 days. Bail was allowed.

PONTYPRIDD UNDERTAKINGS. At a meeting of Pontypridd Electricity Com- mittee on Tuesday, Mr D. Williams presiding, Mr J. E. Teasdel, manager, reported a. gratifying inciease in receipts. In the electric lighting department for the past month the receipts totalled JE731 14s 6d, representing an increase of JE163 6s 2d over g those of the corresponding month of the previ- ous year. In the tramway department the receipts for the month amounted to JES16 Is 9d on the Trcforest and Cilfynydd route, and JM03 on the Trehafod route, making a. total of jEl,619 Is 9d, an increase of 4:528 9s 9d over the total of the corresponding month ot 1907. The Engineer reported that considerable ex- pense had been incurred consequent, upon the storm on Monday, October 19th, when several yards of cable and troughing were carried into the river near the slaughterhouse, while one o the section boxen at CUfynydd was buried by the debris, though it was not damaged. The traffic was considerably interfered with, and affected the receipts to the extent of between £ 40 and JE30 for the week.,

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE Another Divisien for Cardiff. On Sunday afternoon last a meeting was held in the 6reat Western Railway Company's Office, Cardiff, for the purpose of making arrangements to form a division of the St. John Ambulance Briga-de amongst the Great Western Railway employees. Mr J. J. Leaning, the general superintendent for the district, was in the chnir, supported by Mr J. Carter, and Mr Herbert Lewis, the assistant commis- sioner for No. 7 district. Mr Lewis, in a yery interesting speech, explained the general principles of rlmbulance work, and gave the meeting all the information they required to enable them to form themselves into a division. Mr Leaning promised to do everything he could to help the movement, and it was unanimously decided to form a division, and those present elected a committee to carry out the necessary details.

Second Marriage Discord ABERAVON PROPERTY DISPUTE. County Court Judgment Upheld. Before Mr Justice Bigham and Mr Justice Walton, sitting as a Divisional Court on Tues- day, judgment was given in the cases of Jenkins and another v. Jenkins, which was the defendant's appeal from a judgment-of Judge Bishop at Aberavon County Court and the same v. the same. The case was argued at con- siderable length on Monday. Mr Justice Walton, in delivering the judg- ment of the Court, said that upon the finding of a jury the County Court judge gave judg- ment for the plaintiffs, and the defendants ap- pealed on the facts and on a point of law. It would appear that in 1871 Thomas Jenkins made a deed of assignment of certain property to his two sons, Ebenezer and Thomas. The father at that time was a widower living with his two sons. In 1885 the Crown appeared on the scene and conveyed the property to old Mr Jenkins, but as he considered his. title in 1871 perfectly good to the properly he was able 10 deal with it at that time. Then the son ver- bally left the property to the father for life on condition that he kept it in repair. Old Mr Jenkins remarried, and that caused dissension among father and sons, the latter going to live elsewhere. In 1888 Thomas Jenkins died, Jeav- ing his share to his widow, who was joined with Ebenezer for possession, but not in the action for ejectment, against the son by Thomas and his second wife and the son by a former hus- band of his second wife. After the death of old Mr Jenkins the property was let to his widow on practically the same conditions. There was no doubt that the jury had sum- cient evidence before them of the letting by Ebenezer and his co-plaintiff, and that the tenancy was to terminate with the death of Ann, and that the present tenants were not en- titled to possession as tenants unless at the will of Ebenezer. The appeal must be dismissed with costs.

FOX:HUNTING. Viscount Tredegar's Hounds. The meet on Monday was at the Cross Farm, Llanedame. The morning was spring-like, and there was a really typical sporting parade of horse and hounds, with Viscount Tredegar in command. There were also present Colonel Courtenay Morgan, Colonel and Miss Lindsay, Ystrad Mynach Colonel and Mrs Lewis, Greenmcadow Mr Ivor Williams, Duffryn Ffrwd Mr Williams, The Heath Major Reade, Major Lucas, Miss Turnbull, Dr. Buckham, Cardiff Rev. S. Jackson, Rev. — Jones, Misses Gunn, St. Mellons; Mr E. Phillips, Lieutenant Wallace, Mr Mann, Newport Mr Hellier, junr., Coedkernew; Misses Hees, Holly House Mre Cox Davies, Master Basil Simms, Rev. Price Rees, Mr Francis, Bassaleg Miss Hudson, Rogerstonc; Mr George Davies, Mel- rose Hall: Mr Duncan, Llandaff Mr Fraser, Whitchurch Mr Stoate and party, Mr and Mrs E. M. Jones, Mr Docker, Mr Burge, Cardiff Mr Williams, Pengam and Mr Jenkins, The Mount. The coverts of Penygroes, Llwyn Grant, Coedygoras, and _the favourite woods covert were drawn. Sport was slow, most present thinking it was going to be a blank day, but when they got to Cefn Mably a fox was raised, and hounds got away with him across the park, and after some exceedingly good hunting he was rolled over. Mr Curre's Hounds. On Saturday at Caerwent, there was a large field, including the master (Mr E. Curre), Mr J. Curre, Beachley Colonel Bertie, Grondra Miss Edith Clay, Piercefield Mr H. Hastings Clay, M.O.H., Miss Mollie Clay, Oakgrove Mr J. T. Bircham, Gwentlands Mr G. Vaughan Hughes, the Wyelands Mr K. Wallis, New- port and Mr Mullock, jun., Caldicott. Hounds after a good run put their quarry to ground. On Monday the fixture was Crick, the field including the master, Mr E. Cui re, Mr J. Curre, Beacbley Miss Edith Clay, Piercefield Park; Mr G. Vaughan Hughes and Miss Hughes, The Wyelands Colonel Bertie, The Grondra Major Bell, Crick House Mr Fothergill Evans, Pwilmevric Lodge Mr Burder, Tidenham. Though foxes were early in evidence hounds could do little with them after proclaiming their first from Priest Wood, then running the circuit repeatedly of Dinwood and Wanwootl, followed later by journeys to the Dalklns and through Pool Wood. Late in the day they were able to put some pressure on, with the result that something like, 90 minutes'good hunting concludad withUuvdeathj^

ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY. At a meeting of the Royal Statistical Society in London on Tuesday evening. Sir Charles Dilke, who was re-elected president, said the Census Committee had recommended that the Censun Bill should be introduced a year earlier than usual, viz., at the beginning of the next Session of Parliament. The alteration would lead to greater efficiency and to a great saving of money. Another recommendation was that there should be a permanent Census Office. One of the subjects discussed during the past year was the preparation of public accounts. He was sorry that the state of 1 hose accounts was still more unsatisfactory than a year ago, and they had fallen into far greater arrears. He regretted that the Treasury action in the matter was again postponed. He thought there never was a time when the public stood more in need of such services as the Royal Statistical Society could render. He announced that the subject for the Howard medal essay for the current year would be A statistical study of infant mortality in Great Britain and Ireland and its causes." It was to be feared that the course of events followed in England would lead to difficulty. Already we had a scheme of State old age pensions passed, and now it was proposed that separate contributory schemes affecting invalidity and unemployment should be passed. The experience gained in France and Germany was such that fusion of the various branches of such assurance was being adopted more and more completely. In a paper Sir Edward Brabrook summarised the various schemes adopted on the Continent. The conclusion that he arrived at was that no scheme of pensions in invalidity or old age can be financially sound which postpones to the future the burden of providing those pensions, and that the only scheme that can be financially sound is one in which the contributions are made by all the parties to the contract and accumu- lated so as to be sufficient to meet the liabilities incurred.

UPROAR AT SWANSEA. REMARKAILESTATION SCENE. At Swansea on Tuesday Beni. Davies, collier, Fforestfach, and Harry Thomas, described as a traveller, of Port Talbot, were summoned for interfering with the comfort of passengers on the Great Western Railway. Davies only ap- peared. It was alleged that on the night of the Cardiff v. Swansea football match the two de- fendants were in trains at the Great Western Station which were standing ready to start on parallel lines. The train in which Davies was seated was going to Cockett, and the other to Port Talbot. Thomas, who. was in the latter train was alleged to have looked through the windows and asked a boy named Lewis, whom he saw in the parallel train, what traip it was. Lewis replied, A Great Western train." Thomas apparently regarded this reply as impertinent, and opening the door on the wrong side of the train he got down on to the permanent way. and then climbed into the car- riage in which Lewis was and chastised him. Thomas was then alleged to have got back into his own carriage, and when he arrived there he saw that Lewis had got into another carriage and was'apparently telling some men what had occurred. He thereupon again got out of his carriage and climbed into the carriage to which Lewis had removed, and aceording to the evi- dence began hitting people about>ight and left. One of the occupants of the carriage was the defendant Davies, and these two continued the battle on the permanent way, between the two trains. Officials interposed, and the fight was continued on the platform, with the result (it was stated) that the two trains were delayed three-quarters of an hour. Davies, who was represented by Mr Arthur Thomas, raised the defence that he was not the aggressor, and was simply defending himself. The case against him was dismissed, and on the application of Mr Ruper Lewis, who prose- cuted, a warrant was issued for the attendance of Thomas.

LOCAL ARCHÆOLOGY. The archaeological section of the Cardiff Naturalists Society held the first meeting of the session at the Welsh Museum. Cardiff, on Tuesday night. After the routine Imsiness Mr T. W. Thomas, R.C.A., introduced an interest- ing discussion on sepulchral cross slabs dating from the 12th to the 17th centuries. His remarks were a nnotations upon an important series of measured drawings prepared by Mr John W. Rodger, M.S.H., Cardiff. Drawings of the above crosses were on view, and included iocal examples from Ewenhy, Cowbridge. Idantwit Major, St. Donate,Gileston,Penarth. Peutyrch, Llanblethian, L'antrithyd, Lhngunwydd, St. Bride's Major, St. Bride's Minor, Llancarvan, Merthyr Mawr, the Gower Peninsula, Raglan, Tintern Abbey, etc. Outside districts were represented bv examples from Westminster Abbey, Wells Oathedral. York Minster, Kirk- l staH Abbey (Yorks.), and the Isle of Man. This large, and so far as Glamorgan is con- cerned, almost exhaustive collection, illustrated the subject completely under its various aspects, of archaic simple gtcnites- crosses, and the later types founded upon the forms of pro- cessional, altar, and Calvary ci-osses in their manifold modification, from simple forms to highly deaprated examples.

DAMAGES FOR PRESSMAN. In the^jKing's Bench Mr Wm. Geo. Harrison, a sub-editor at the London office of the Man- chester Evening News," .was awarded JE50 damages for personal injuries caused, it was alleged, by thb negligence of a chauffeur in the service of the defendant, Mr G. M. Freeman, K.C. Plaintiff was cycling jto the office early one morning when he was run into by defen- dant's motor-car and sustained injuries which kept him in bed for six weeks and permanently injured his nerves and eyesight. The defence was contributory negiigonce. uwmoi

A lady writing from Ireland says :-I went to see my sister's baby, who was very ill indeed. She had been up for nights 1; with him wghout undressing he was cry- ing all the time as with some internal pain. The doctor told her he could do nothing I except put him in a warm bath, which gave him a little ease for the time being. I thought of STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS which I used for my own children; and next day I sent some to my sister, when she gave the child half a powder according to i directions. For the first time for a fortnight she and the baby, and, in fact, all i the household, had a good night's sleep, and the little feltow has continued to improve ever since." These powders do not contain poison, nor are they a narcotic but they act gently on the bowels, thus relieving feverish heat and preventing fits, con- rf&k • vulsious, etc. Please notice that the name STEEDMAN is always EE spelt with EE.

LADY'S GIFT. A munificent gift of a well-appointed institute situate in one of the most attractive parts of Pontypridd, and standing in its own grounds, was made by Miss Clara Thomas, Llwynmadoc, to the town on Tuesday night. Nine years ago Miss Thomas converted Gelliwastad House, the old family residence, into an institute for the town, and the premises were entrusted to a committee as a tentative gift. This gift was made absolute on Tuesday night, when Mr Godfrey L. Clark, J.P., D.L., Talygarn, re- presenting Miss Thomas, handed over the deeds of the property at a crowded meeting of the members to nine trustees as a free gift to the inhabitants of Pontypridd. The gift repre- sents a money value of £100 per annum. Since the inauguration of the institute ^nearly a decade ago, it has proved of incalculable benefit as a resort for recreation and relaxation to a large number of young men. The mem- bership at the present time is close upon 300. The institute includes a large reading and games room, a commodious and well-lighted billiard- room fitted with three full-steed tables, a croquet lawn and bowling green, quoit pitch, skittle alley, and shooting range. The condi- tions attached to the gift are that intoxicating liquors shall not be sold, and that the institu- tion shall be conducted on strictly non-political and undenominational lines. Miss Thomas, who owns considerable property in Pontypridd, has contributed handsomely to all charitable institutions in the town and district. Only a few years ago she provided a home for the Pontypridd District Nurses, and quite recently sent a cheque of JE500 towards the proposed Cottage Hospital. This latest gift of the institute was brought about through repre- sentations made to Miss Thomas by Mr Godfrey Clark, J.P., D.L., Mr Gordon T.Anog. J.P., and an active committee, of which Mr Rhys Morgan, M^A., headmaster of the County School, is the energetic hon. secretary. The steward of the institute is Mr J. R. Lewis.
