Whitehouse, 10a, Temple-row, Birmingham, left property valued at X450 5s. LECTURE. — A bright and interesting lecture was delivered at Carmel Chapel on Monday by Rev, R. R. Roberts, B.A., Car- diff, formerly of Trinity, Aberdare. His subject was" Æsop's Fables." Mr W. J. Heppell made an excellent chairman. There was a very large audience and they were delighted with the lecture. LOCAL WILL.—Mr Edwin Gregor, of The Hawthornes, Llandaff, and of the firm of Messrs Gregor Bros., of Aberdare and Swansea, timber merchants, who died on the 10th August last, left estate of the gross value of £8,638 2s lid, including per- sonalty of the net value of JE7,430 14s 3d, and letters of administration, with will ;annexed, dated 10th March, 1902, have been granted to his son Mr Arthur Laver Gregor, of Ynyscynon, timber merchant. 'The executors, Mr George Henry Tregaskis .and Mr Thomas Ernest Malyon, named in the said will, have renounced probate. The testator left his share in the said firm of Gregor & Co. as to one moiety thereof for his said son Arthur, and as to the other moiety thereof upon trust for his wife for life, with the remainder to his said son Arthur and his son Sydney Laver Gregor .and his daughter Edith. Mr Gregor made no provisions as to the disposal of his residual estate. TRINITY.—Last Sunday, the Rev. R. R. Roberts, B.A., Cardiff, formerly pastor of Trinity, ministered here to large congrega- tions in the morning and evening. In the morning, Mr Roberts took for his text, Matt. iv. 1, Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil." The preacher remarked that the heavenly voice had been followed by the sinister whispers of the Devil. Temta- tions, he said, had their functions, and as the text indicated, they were utilized by the Spirit of God for the furtherance of God's work. Temptations made one think of the good which they threatened to deprive one -of, and brought :that good into more promi- nence. In the evening, Mr Roberts preached another powerful sermon. TABERNACLE.—Preaching from 2 Peter i, 5 last Sunday evening, Mr J. M. Jones, the pastor, said that the building of a character was like erecting a house or painting a picture. It was the deliberate patient pro- .cess of putting stone upon stone or adding colour to colour. The ideal of a true builder was a good building, the ideal of a true painter was a good picture, and the ideal of a true character-builder was a good man. The elements in the enthusiasm of Christianity were goodness, manly energy and intelligence. In the religion of Jesus no place was given to anything which could not be translated into character. It "demanded enthusiasm, but such enthusiasm as would convert whole towns and countries .into a population of living characters. The 0 religion of many people was an effeminate, soft thing, and lacked the strength of character which the teachings of Jesus imparted. A religion that would not stand one's best thinking was of no good. OBITUARY.—Mr E. H. Evans, of Plas- yfelin, Neath, aged 67, died suddenly on Monday week. He took tea at his usual hour, and left home purposing to walk to Tonna to see some friends. He was seized with illness, and a passing cab conveyed him home. He complained of asthma, and died before medical aid arrived. Deceased leaves a widow, one son, and one daughter, Mr Evans was formerly in business as a draper at Aberdare, in which town he was for some years also landlord:of the Queen's Hotel. The inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon. Dr Lewis said he knew the deceased, who had suffered from heart disease for years, and that was the cause of death. Verdict accordingly. The funeral took place on Friday, the place of inter- ment being Llantwit Vardre. Mr Evans was well known in Aberdare as a musician of repute. He was a contemporary of and co-worker with Caradog, of Cor Mawr celebrity. OBITUARY.—It is with deep regret we have to chronicle the death at the early age of 22, of Mr Sam Parfitt, son of Mr and Mrs Parfitt, Monk street.

The collections were very satisfactory. On the Monday a social tea took place. In the evening, the election of officers for the Sunday School and choir was proceeded with. Mr A. J. Kent was re-elected superintendent for the sixth time, together with the secretaries Messrs T. Prosser and C. Roach. Mr Benjamin the choirmaster was also re-elected. GAMBLING.—A meeting of the Mountain Ash Vigilance Union was held in the Lecture Room of the Workmen's Institute on Friday evening. Mr J. Powell, M.E., Cwmpennar, occupied the chair. A very able paper was read by Rev. G. Neighbour on Gambling." In the course of his dis- course, Mr Neighbour mentioned that gambling was wrong in principle because it was the extreme form of covetousness, because it was a desire on the part of men to grow rich in the easiest way with- out labour or effort, because it was an attempt to make one rich at another's expense, and because it was the worst form of capitalism. He severely criticised those churches, who in order to augment their funds, organise raffles at their bazaars. He exhorted the churches to thoroughly cleanse themselves of this evil. Messrs John Jefferies, W. E. Jenkins, T. K. Lukey, David Phelps and Rev. E. V. Tidman took part in the discussion which followed.

Grand Concert at Aberdare.
Grand Concert at Aberdare. A large and appreciative gathering listened to an excellent programme of music given by the Aberdare Orchestral Society (aug- mented to 45 performers) assisted by eminent artistes, on Thursday last at the New Market Hall. The improvised platform was nicely adorned with plants kindly lent by Mrs Powell, Danygraig, and the decora- tions were supplied by Messrs Dodd & Co., Compton House. The principal artistes were Madam Luisa Sobrino, the celebrated soprano, from the Berlin and Beyreuth Festivals, and Miss Marian Morgan, New- port, the popular violinist. The duties of the solo cornet artiste were successfully undertaken by Mr Charlie George, Aberdare, in the absence of Mr Ceres Jackson, of the Black Dyke Band. Mr A. W. Bartholomew, Newport, was the leader of the orchestra, the whole of which was conducted by Mr Richard Howells, Aberdare. The first part of the programme was initiated by an ad- mirable rendering of the march Hungar- ian by the orchestra, which was followed by the orchestra placing Rossini's intricate overture William Tell," both items being loudly applauded. Madam Sobrino then made her debut and charmed the auditory with her singing of Verdis Ernani In- volani," with orchestral accompaniment. In response to an encore she re-sang. Miss Marian Morgan then gave an able violin solo, Andantino," which was also greatly appreciated. Mr Charlie George, our local champion cornet player, appeared with an effective cornet solo, The British Grena- diers." Madam Sobrino was next to appear with two pretty songs, The night has a thousand eyes," and A Birthday Song." The songs were rendered with deep ex- pression and feeling, and she had a worthy reception. The orchestra next gave Greig's Peer Gynt Suite op 46, which was fol- lowed by an exceptionally good rendering of Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major. A delighful violin solo entitled Serenade was next contributed by Miss Marian Mor- gan. Madam Sobrino made her final ap- pearance with a pleasing song Daffodils a-blowing." The noted soprano responded to a tremendous cheering with a pretty solo, Open thy eyes, my dearest." The audience were not slow to manifest their intense admiration for the charming singer. The orchestra then struck up that favourite selection, A Country Girl." Mr Charlie George gave a fine solo on his cornet of "My Pretty Jane." The orchestra then played a final march entitled Hoch Habsburg," which was majestically rendered. The concert, which was throughout a grand success, was the first of its kind held under the auspices of the Aberdare Orches- tral Society. Messrs R. Howells and Tal Jones faultlessly accompanied. It should be stated that only nine members of the orchestra are professionals.
Thin Young Men
Thin Young Men Who lack vitality need Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Always eating, but never growing fatter on it," is the story of many young men be- tween sixteen and twenty-six. Painfully thin, lantern-jawed, pale, and dark eyed, during their years of development, young men lack vitality and are ill fitted to resist colds and chills, let alone more serious ail- ments, Mr Battle, an intelligent man of twenty, speaks from experience of the difficulties arising at this age. My work as a newspaper compositor de. mands a quick eye and hand and an alert brain," said he. "When I be- gan this work I was still growing fast. I was far from strong in con- stitution, and soon broke down under the strain. "I began by feeling out of sorts and fit for nothing without energy to start any occu- pation or recrea- tion. I was evi- dently outgrowing my strength. By degrees I became very weak and sickly. I slept Mr. Battle, a Compositor, outgrew his strength. Dr. Williams'Pink Pills made a new man of him. heavily and arose tired. I always felt ex- hausted, at work or at home. I did not make flesh, and friends used to say, How thin you are I fell into such low state that I needed something more than ordinary tonics to build up my strength and stay the awful wasting away. Luckily for me I found the right medicine in Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Their good effect was soon noticeable the second box set me up wonderfully, and by the time I had finished it I was completely restored. I felt well, and could eat well; and my food satisfied me. The weariness had vanished; I was fit for work or play, and in as good health as I could wish." Mrs Battle, who was present at the in- terview at 18 Jackson-street, Birkenhead, added that before her son took Dr Williams' Pink Pills he seemed to lose all interest in life. He was bent and stooped," she added, until he took these pills. I knew they would do him good, for they had cured my daughter of ansemia. Now, both are strong and well." Dr Williams' Pink Pills make men bright for business. They have cured the most serious forms of nervous disorders, including paralysis and locomotor ataxy, while thousands have testified to their value in St Vitus' dance, sciatica, rheumatism, ansemia, indigestion, loss of appetite, general muscular weakness, and the ailments of women. Not a purgative, but a true tonic. Obtainable of all medicine dealers, also from Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, London, on receipt of 2s 9d for one box, or for six boxes 13s 9d. post free. t
.."......., Merthyr Board…
Merthyr Board of Guardians The above was held on Saturday, There were present Mr J. Rogers (chairman) Revs J. O'Reilly and Rev J. Hathren Davies (vice-chairman), Mrs Williams, Mrs Richards, and Mrs Evans, Messrs E. Edwards, John Price, B. Lewis, F. Arscott, D. Davies, T. Weale, R. Rees, W. Hiley, D. Evans (Hirwain), D. Evans (Merthyr), T. E. Morgan, D. Hopkins, H. Jones, J. Lloyd, J. Jenkins, J. Aurelius, A. Davies, I. H. Jones, A. W. Houlson, S. Hawkins, Revs. Ll. Williams, W. C. Thomas, W. A. Jones, and W. S. Davies, Messrs F. T. James (clerk), and E. J. Hughes (assistant clerk). OUT-RELIEF.—A cheque for X315 was drawn. TRAINING SCHOOL COMMITTEE. Miss Keziah Davies, cook, had sent in her re- signation, and it was agreed to advertise for a successor.—A month's leave of absence was granted to Miss Martha Davies, laundry department. GAMES FOR THE OLD.—The report of the House Management Committee stated that they were providing games for the old people. In reply to the Rev. J. H. Davies the chairman said that the games provided were draughts. DR. WARD'S VINDICATION. PORTER'S REGISTER CHALLENGED. The committee appointed to enquire into the charges against Dr Ward stated that according to the porter's book Dr Ward had during the two years ending Nov. 4th, 1904, attended the Workhouse personally 276 times, his assistant twice and his locum tenems 282 times—total attendances 560. The usual weekly attendance was 10 or 11 times, Sunday visits excepted.—Dr Ward told the committee that the register of his visits «vas not correct. Apart from the Sunday visits, many weekly visits had been omitted. He had presented himself at I the Infirmary Workhouse five or six times every week. Besides, his deputy was a doubly qualified practitioner. THii UNEMPLOYED.—Mr Balfour wrote acknowledging the resolution of the Guar- dians re the unemployed, and stating that Mr Keir Hardie, in response to a memorial presented to him by 16 of the members, had taken the matter up. The Govern- ment were not prepared to summon an autumnal session to deal with the question. -Mr Keir Hardie had also written stating that he was preparing a measure dealing with able-bodied unemployed. Such legis- lation would in his opinion at least mitigate the evil. If Boards of Guardians and other bodies were persistent in their demands he believed that no Government would long withstand their efforts. ABERDARE's MORTUARY.—The clerk of the Aberdare District Council wrote in reply to the Guardians' request for a mortuary statinghat Aberdare was at present in possession of one, which was at the cemetery.—Mr D. Evans (Merthyr): Did not Aberdare people know that before ? —Father O'Reilly observed that the ceme- L'ry wa,s about two mi.es distant from the centre of the town. It was a fact that bodies had to be taken to stables and public-houses.—Other members endorsed what Father O'Reilly had said, but inas- much as it was a matter for the District Council they considered that nothing could be done.—Rev. LI. Williams: Benighted Aberdare 1 THE ETERNAL TRAMP.—A lodging-house keeper in Merthyr offered to accommodate 10 tramps at the rate of 3d per tramp per night. His offer was accepted.—Last week 197 tramps had been entertained at the Workhouse and the previous week 262.

Aberdare Liberal Club and…
Aberdare Liberal Club and Liberalism. At a general meeting of the members of the above club 011 Wednesday week. Mr F. E. Stansfield referred to the need of a Liberal organisation at Aberdare. They had a Liberal Club it was true, and it was an excellent institution in its way, but as a fighting force it was no good. The social element seemed to predominate politics entirely. In view of the fact that a General Election was bound to take place at an early date, he believed it was time for the Club to consider its real position and fortify itself for the coming struggle, He believed they could get a sufficient number ( of representatives to constitute an active body of men who would be able to manage the affairs of local liberals both in imperial and municipal affairs. He suggested that they take steps to re-organise Liberalism in Aberdare and that the Club be made a fighting organisation. Mr Morgan Watkins said he was quite in accord with what had been said. That club was the only organised body of ] Liberalism in the Boroughs. Some time ago they did attempt to form some kind of ] a Liberal Association. It looked very promising at first, but nothing came of it. The real reason for this laxity was that Liberals believed themselves to be in such an overwhelming majority that it was quite unnecessary to form any organisation at all. It was quite possible that at the next General Election they would wake up to find that the Conservatives had greatly increased. However, he felt confident that when the election came, the Merthyr and Aberdare Boroughs would muddle through all right. Mr J. W.'Harris said it was most desirable that some kind of an organisation should be formed, but he feared from past experience that a Liberal Association would not be a success. In Merthyr and Penrhiwceiber Lib-Lab Associations had been formed, and it was intended to form another at Moun- tain Ash. If they wanted a living associa- tion in Aberdare, it must first of all come from the labour ranks. Labour was entitled tc have a majority on the local Boards and Councils and the best from amongst them ought to be elected. Ultimately, it was decided to refer the matter to committee, to see what could b3 done.
