j Lord Aberdare's SO" MARRIED TO "GIBSON GIRL." Miss Camille Clifford, the "Gibson Girl," is married to the Hon. Henry Lyndhurst Bruce, the heir of Lord Aberdare. It was a secret wedding, and the secret has been well kept, says the Mail." For the marriage took place on Thursday, October 11th, by special licence, at St, George's Hall, Mount- street, which is the registrar's office for St. George's, Hanover-square. Those who have seen The Belle of Mayfair." in which Miss Clifford has a part, will see a coincidence in the place of the wedding, for one of the songs in the piece runs, Come to St. George's, Han- over-square." It was shortly after noon last Thurs- day week that Miss Clifford drove from her residence in Bloomsbury in the com- pany of Miss Evelyn Mary Evelyn Con- ran to the registry office in Mount-street. She wore a simple, unostentatious cos- tume. It was a gown of gossamer clinging material, crowned with some ex- pulsite old lace on the shoulders. She was perfectly unperturbed, aud she smiled a greeting to her lover, and the pair walked down the room towards the registrar. Rvpe ha/i nwived "ith .a friend, Mr. fcrordon Oonran, some time before. He had contrived to look as little like a bridegroom as possible. In place of the customary frock-coat and silk hat he wore a lounge suit brown in colour, and his companion was attired in an equally unceremonious manner. Mr. Bruce was all smiles, though he kept an alert eye on the clock while he talked to the staid, white-haired official. Then the rumble of Miss Clifford's cab was heard without. He hurried to the door and met her, and so the couple confronted the kindly, smiling registrar, who asked them to be seated. During the routine of making the en- tries of names, etc., the wedding party of four chatted, got restless,walked about the room, sat down, and smiled and chatted afresh. At last the aetual cere- mony took place. The registrar stood up. He asked the bridegroom to take the lady's left hand and repeat after me," and Mr. Bruce obeyed. In an earnest voice he said, "I, Henry Lynd- hurst Bruce, take Camilla Antoinette Clifford to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold until death us do part." Miss Clifford repeated the words, the ring was put on her finger, and in due course the certificate was made out. Then the couple, with many smiles and adieus, went out, and the whole party drove away to luncheon. That night Miss Camille Clifford ap- peared on the stage as usual. There was no whisper of the little ceremony at noon, and each night since the audience have seen her at the Vaudeville Theatre unaware that she was married to a peer's son. The marriage certificate shows that Henry Lyndhurst Bruce," aged twenty- five years, bachelor, son of a peer, mar- ried Camilla Antoinette Clifford," aged twenty-two years, spinster. Miss Clif- ford's profession is not stated on the certificate. The certificate is signed Henry Lyndhurst Bruce and Camilla Clifford." The marriage was by special licence, and two days' notice had been given. One of the official witnesses states that he had rarely seen a couple who appeared more fond of each other. As they sat side by side in the office they seemed enraptured with one another.

The Curate of Vochriw I at Mountain Ash. On Tuesday week the Rev. J. A. Rees, curate of Vochriw, addressed a, united meeting of the local lodges of the Church of England Temperance Society and I.O.G.T. &t the Parish Boom. The reputation of the rev. gentleman as a temperance lecturer had proved a "draw" and the Parish Hall was well- felled. Rev. J. Sinnett Jones, M.A. (vicar), presided and in introducing the speaker said he was glad to -see in Mr. R,eæ such a fine specimen of a water-drinker, (laughter.) Rev. T. A. Rees, on rising to address the gathering, received a lousing recep- tion, and, in the course of a lengthy address, aaid that the cause of temper- ance was the cause of Jesus Christ. Alii temperance advocates they had cause to be thankful to Almighty God for the rapid strides sobriety had made in our country for the last half century. The expenditure ox intoxicants in 1805 was £ 4,819,224 less than in 1904. During last six years there wavS a decrease in the drink bill of upwards of £ 21,750,286 —(cheers)—and this in spite of the fact 11, was -vearl,r increas- ing. The election to the House of (Vlll- niona of such a large number of members pledged to the temperance cause was naturally a matter for rejoic- ing and thankfulness to God. Wales had sent to Parliament a. solid phalanx of temperance reformers. He had thought that the temperance question would have had precedence over every other question in Parliament. Drinking among women was greatly on the increase. Grocers' licenses were partly responsible for this state of things, and he urged them to do their utmost towards removing away altogether the grocer's license. Publicans now specially catered for women. Rooms were set apart in public-houses for women only. He advised them, when the next Brewster Sessions came round, to oppose as much M possible the renew- ing of the licenses of those publicanii who thus catered for women. Some people supposed clubs were desirable places and excellent alternatives to the public-houses, but the opposite had been amply proved, and it was time they in- sisted on the Government to include in their next licensing bill that these places be placed under police super- Tision, and to otherwise legislate to such- an extent as to make their exist- ence in this country an impossibility. (Cheers.) It was everyone's duty to abstain from strong drink for their own sakes. Strong drink was a cause of the physical deterioration of the people. Alcohol was no food. It was a narcotic. It dulled the nerves like laudanum. Sir Frederick Treves called alcohol "an insidious poison." The' rev. gentleman concluded a stirring address with an eloquent appeal to his hearers to abstain from drink for others' sake. The vote of thanks to the speaker, pro- posed by Mr. J. Brooks and seconded by Mr. T. Hurley, was enthusiastically received.

Death of the Vicar of Mynyddislwyn. We regret to record the death of the Rev. John Jones Lewis, f vicar of My- nyddislwyn, which took place somewhat suddenly on Friday afternoon at his residence at Abercarn. Deceased had been unwell for about a week with a throat affection, which developed into pneumonia. An operation was per- formed on Tuesday evening, and it is believed he died from the effects of blood poisoning which supervened. Deceased took his degree of B.A. at St. David's College, Lampeter, in 1885, was ordained deacon in 1886, and priest in 1887. He was appointed to the living in Mynyddis- lwyn in 1904. Prior to that he was vicar of Penrhiwcefber, where he was held in high esteem.

Conciliation Board Meeting. OFFICIAL REPORT. A meeting of the Conciliation Board for the coal trade of Monmouthshire and South Wales was held at Cardiff on Sat- urday, Mr C. H. Eden presiding over the owners' side in the absence of Mr F. L. Davis. Mr W. Abraham. M.P. (Mabon) occupied the chair on the workmen's side. At the commencement of the proceed- ings a vote of condolence was passed with the relatives of the sufferers at the recent disaster at Wingate Colliery, in Durham, and a vote of sympathy was also I[ passed with Mr Thomas Griffiths in his recent sad bereavement—the death of I his wife. The workmen's representatives aslc £ d the owners to consider the question of granting facilities to the workmen to show cards on the colliery premises, and they strongly urged the necessity for something being done in this direction in order to prevent the workmen having to take the same action in the future that they have in the past. The work- men further pointed out that if the owners could see their way to deal with the matter it would be to the benefit of the district, and they suggested that the question should be referred to a sub- committee to endeavour to devise a scheme that would be acceptable to both sides, and that a sub-committee should report to a future meeting of the board. The owners' representatives teplied that they had carefully considered the matter but that they must decline to refer any such question to a sub-committee, and that they were unanimous in declining to accede to the workmen's request. The workmen's representatives asked the owners to consider the question of the traffic men's wages with a view to increasing the rates of all men who deal with the transit of coal. The owners' representatives replied that they had already informed the workmen's repre- sentatives that they could 6nly consider the question of the hauliers and riders' rates and they could not depart from this decision. :0:

St. John Ambulance Brigade. MOUNTAIN ASH CORPS. The annual: inspection of the above was held on Monday la.<;t at the Drill Hall. The inspecting officer was Chief Superintendent S. T. Beard, of Aber gavenny. The inspection for the night division was held at 2.15 p.m. and for the day division at 5.15 p.m. Theria was aii excellent muster of members, including the hon. surgeon Dr. H.

Lawrence, who passed as a corporal. Two squads of the night division and two of the day division were picked out to treat and carry off on stretchers imaginary cases. Mr. Birch and members of the Pen- rhiwoeiber division were also present at the inspection for day men. A vote of thanks was passed to the members of Mountain Ash Volunteer Band for the excellent- services they freely rendered at the fete which was held in Dyffryn Grove in aid of the fund, also, to all those who in any way assisted!, in making the affair suoh a success. Excellent progress is being made. Four new stretchers and a. large quantity of oondages have been ordered. The Drill Hall has been engaged for twelve months to hold practices, etc. All holding first aid certificates, who have not yet joined the Brigade, are earnestly invited to do so now at the commencement of the session.

He was no Socialist, but he had heard of the I.L.P. However, he called it "the R.I.P." Rather premature, I think, for that very lively and active party does not seem as if it were going to rest in peace" just yet.

R.A.O.B. at Penilhlwceiber CHURCH PARADE. On Sunday afternoon latt ihe meni j bet s of the Belle Vue Lodge assembled at the lodge-room of the Belle Vue Hotel. The following lodges were represented: The Cynon Lodge, Abercynon; The Sir- dar Lodge, Mountain Ash; Treharris; Merthyr; and Aberdare. The arrange- mentt; were in charge of Primo..T. Lawrence and were ably carried out. Headed by the Mountain Ash Volunteer Band they paraded the main street, through Woodfield terrace, Chureh- etreet, Glanlay-street, returning through Rheola-street and Penrhiwoeiber-road to St. Winifred's Church. The Rev. J. F. Dale Chapman, All Saint* Ynyg- boeth, who is chaplain to the R.A.O.B. (Abercynon Lodge), occupied the pulpit, and took as his text, Bear ye one another's burdens for such is the law of Christ." Before the last hymn was sung the Vicar of the parish, the Rev. J. R. Jones, said that he felt constrained to speak to them that day, so many being present. He implored them to attend some place of worship every Sunday. Some men had told him that they work- ed six days a week and wanted rest on the Sabbath, but that was a very poor excuse. Many men were quite willing to let their wives and children go to a place of worship. But why not go them- selves and set a good example to their children? The following hymns were sung during the service: "Lead U8. Heavenly Father," H Jeau, Lover of my soul," Fight the good fight with all thy might," and All hail the powpr of Jesu'e name."

¡ Terrible Death at Abercynon. An Irishman. John Flanaghan, of William-street, Ystrad Rhondda, sustained fatal injuries at Abercynon on Friday afternoon. Deceased was one of four men engaged on a traction engine, with two trucks laden with beer barrels. The engine, which was proceeding in the direction of Pontypridd, was stopped before descending the gradient at Travel- lers' Rest, Abercynon, in order that Flan- aghan might apply the sprags. De- ceased had accomplished his work, and had given the signal to proceed, when it is presumed, he endeavoured to mount the trucks, and missing his foothold fell under the wheels, with the result that both legs were badly crushed, his right arm fractured, and the lower part of his body fearfully mutilated. Medical assistance was at once summoned by Sergeant Ebenezer Rees, and, and Dr Griffin and Dr Rees arrived immediately, but the poor fellow was beyond all human aid, and died within an hour.

Pathetic Incident at Bethania, Aberdare. Mrs. Rees, now of Denver, U.S.A., an old member of Bethania C.M. Church, Aberdare,and who emigrated to America 40 years ago, is now on a visit to her old home. On Sunday night she, attended Bethania, and after the sacrament was partaken of, Mr. D. Griffiths, one of the deacons, referred to Mrs. Rees, who had the courage to cross the, Atlantic at the age of 77. At the close Mrs. Rees shook hands with a number of old friends, an, incident that moved the whole congre- gation-many to tears. During the day two eloquent sermons were preached by the Rev. T. Davies, Treorchy, who also offered a fervent prayer on behalf of the revered pastor of the church, the Rev. W. James, who, we are sorry to say, is in a poor state of health.

Mrs. WHITE, 103 Grafton Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool, writes—" My heart overflows with gratitude for the recovery of my two children; I fully expected to lose both of them, for our doctor could not even relieve Miss ANNIE WHITE (from photo.) them. They coughed incessantly, and were so choked up could hardly breathe. I had to stop up at nights with them until I was worn out myself. My neighbour had a bottle of your Cough Cure in the house,and we gave them a dose, which relieved them. I at once stopped the doctor's medicine & gave them nothing but your COUGH CURE. I never knew a medicine to act like it, for they got better in a few days. It is no wonder you call it Light- ning," for it is the most wonderful thing I have ever heard of.
