-----------Dedication of a…
Dedication of a Font in Mountain Ash. On Sunday afternoon, Oct. 1st, a service to dedicate a font to the late Lady Aberdare was held in St. Margarets Church in Moun- tain Ash. The service was conducted by the Rev. H. R. Johnson, warden of St. Michael's College, Aberdare, who, in the course of his address, said he would ask them to think of the dedication of the font in three lights: first, as a protest against the neglect of the sacrament of baptism secondly, as a dedication to Almighty God; thirdly, as a dedication to the memory of the late Lady Aberdare. Of all the words spoken by the late Bishop of Llandaff, none had a more important bearing than those he spoke at Aberdare when he drew the atten- tion of Churchmen to the neglect of the sacrament of baptism. Some might ask in what way did they neglect this sacrament. He would like to ask them how many times had they been present at a baptismal cere- mony ? Fathers were often not present at the baptism of their own children, t7he reason, no doubt, was that in this age of hurry they could hardly afford the time. No one ought ever to pass the font without thinking of his or her own baptism. But he knew there was a special significance in con- nection with the dedication of that font. They were all brought to think of one who had departed. It was a memorial to one whom he knew and whose friendship he valued. Those that knew the late I44y Aberdare knew that no more suitable me- morial to her memory could be erected in the church than a font. They all knew her great love for children. They Were also aware of her great fidelity to the Church. He congratulated the women of Mountain Ash on the suitability of the memorial. Rev. H. R. Johnson accompanied by the vicar and Mr William Dally (churchwarden) then proceeded to the dedication of the font. The font, which is a handsome structure,. is early English in design and is constructed of Caen stone with alabaster shaft and Irish green marble surmounted with a beautiful carved oak canopy in the same design, sus- pended with a dove weight by means of pulleys. The space surrounding the font has been made into a baptistery, while around the south and west walls is an in- scription, Suffer little children to come unto me." It is intended also to have an inscription stating that the font is the gift of the women of Mountain Ash to the memory of the late Lady Aberdare. The font was designed and executed by Messrs Jones and Wills, [Birmingham". The secretary of the memorial was Miss Shipton.

Should help Aberdare.
Should help Aberdare. This little Aberaman item may be the means of saving a great deal of suffering here in Aberdare and we cannot but appreciate the generous spirit which prompts our neighbour to speak out and tell this good news for our benefit. Mr. William J. Davies, of 27, Hill- street, Aberaman, Aberdare, writes: Dear Sirs,—I am very thankful for the good your Doan's backache kidney pills have done me. I used to suffer very much from pains between the shoulders and across the kidneys. (Mr, Davies is a miner, and it is very easy for us to understand how miners, and, indeed, .everybody who has to do stooping and bending about at their work, suffer from kidney disorders. Do not deceive your- self by thinking it is merely the back aching; it is really the kidneys, which lie beneath the small of the back. Their delicate membranes are strained; they are unable to filter the blood pro- perly, and you are in danger of Bright's disease, dropsy, and other serious kid- ney troubles.) The secretions from the kidneys were unnatural, and gave a sandy sedi- ment. They were painful in passing. I suffered also from flatulency, fluttering of the heart, and was in a very run- down condition. Every cold or chill flew to my kidneys and made my back ache more than ever." I did not get any better until I be- gan using Doan's backache kidney pills. This splendid medicine gave me ease from the first brought comfort to -my back, and soon gave me wonderful re- lief. I feel that I can say I am cured of the kidney complaint. I shall always take pleasure in recommending these pills to my friends. Yours truly (signed) Wm. John Davies. If you are ill, write and fully describe your case to us. We shall be pleased to give you the best advice in our power, free of charge. You can depend upon your letter being treated in strictest con- fidence. Doan's backache and kidney pills are two shillings and ainepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists and stores, or post free, on receipt of price, direct from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells street, Oxford street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Davies bad.

Thomas appeared for complainant, who said that an order had been made against her husband in that court. Subsequently they went to- gether again, but their relations did not im- prove. On September 26th, her husband quarrelled with her because she did not make the bed to suit him. He then struck her. On another occasion he came home drunk. He threatened to finish her with a knife. Once he drew her out of bed and leathered her with his fist. She was subject to fits since she had been ill-treated by him. He had pawned her wedding ring and she had been compelled to wear a cheap one.-Stipendiary: I can't understand why the woman went back to him. The same order of 9s per week, with costs, will be renewed. UNFAIR BILLY FAIR PLAY.

Kentshole for the Co., admitted the two offences.—The Stipendiary said that they were not serious offences, and he would impose a nominal fine of 10s and costs in each case. PATERNITY.

CHARGE OF STEALING FURNITURE. Harry Lewis was charged with stealing a set of furniture, the property of Jay and Co., Aberdare.—Mr W. Thomas, acting for the prosecution, said that defendant had ob- tained the goods under a hire agreement but had fraudulently converted them to his own use. The Stipendiary asked why was not the case entered in the County Court.— Mr Thomas held that defendant had feloniously 'aken possession of the goods, hence that court was the proper tribunal. Stipendiary asked if he could give a case in point. Mr Thomas cited a case, and the Stipendiary then agreed to proceed. D. C. Winkley, manager of the firm, said that D. H. Lewis obtained certain goods from his employers, Messrs Jay and Co., on Nov. 7, 1904. De- fendant signed an agreement (produced) in his presence. Another agreement was en- tered into in March, and further goods were obtained by defendant. He went in arrears with his instalments and witness discovered that defendant bad removed from the town. He found that defendant had sold a certain portion of the furniture to Mr J. H. James. Witness indentified some of the articles at Mr James's warehouse. The goods were valued at X12 18s 6d.—By Mr J. W. Evans (for the defence): Defendant had been dis- charged from Jay's shop in Newport, and was taken on again at Aberdare by Mr Barnett, who was one of the Co. Defendant knew what was in the agreement.— Stipen- diary I don't believe that defendant signed an agreement without looking at it.—Aid. Evans questioned Winkley further as to whether defendant's wife had gone to New- port to be confined. — Stipendiary: What has that to do with this case ? Probably he will be confined too if he cannot establis his innocence,-Ald. Evans Is it not a fact that you have had 120 per cent, profit on the transaction. Certainly not.—Stipen- diary That was a very low percentage (laughter).—Florence M. Thomas, employed at Messrs Jay and Co., said she prepared the agreement (produced). Defendant read it in her presence. James H. James said that defendant came to his office and offered some goods for sale. Witness then went to defendant's workshop. Asked how he came in possession of the goods he said that his wife had gone to Newport and that the articles were too expensive to take away. Witness purchased from him several pieces of furniture. He said the furniture was his own.—By Mr Evans Witness gave him j64 10s for the goods.—Mr Evans held that there was no felonious intent on defendant's

part. Defendant had no intention of ab- sconding from the town. He had a house in Price street and a workshop in Canon street.
