The same defendant (Isaac Jones) was charged with cruelly ill-treating a horse, and Wm. Edmunds for causing it to be ill-treat-ed.-P.C. Bevan said that on Tuesday, May 27th, he saw the horse in Gadlys Road. It had two wounds under the saddle and running wounds on other parts of the back.- Edmunds said the wounds were dry in the morning. --Stipendiary Has the horse been worked since?—P.C. Bevan It died 1 j hours later. Stipendiary: As the result of those wounds? Ed- munds No, from inflammation.—Sti- pendiary: That is worse still.—Both defendants were fined £3 and costs each or one month. John Sullivan, rag and bone collector, was summoned for working a horse in an unfit state, and Wm. Evans, Bel- mont, Merthyr, for allowing it to be worked. P.C. Francombe declared that he saw the horse in Trecynon. There were a few sores on it, and the girth was irri- tating one of them. The horse had a very heavy load at the time.EvaDs said he had not seen the horse that day.—Sullivan was fined 20s. and costs, and the summons against Evans was dismissed. No Scales. Charles Varden was brought up at the instance of P.C. Rowe for selling coal in the streets without carrying proper weighing machines. The con- stable said he met defendant in John Street, and defendant told him that the scale was broken. Fined 20s. and costs. Unlicensed Motors and Carriages. P.C. Owen Thomas prefei-red charges against several persons for neglecting to take out revenue licences in respect of their motor cars and hackney car- riages. The first defendant was Evan Parker, Aberdare, who was seen driving Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., and Mr. Philip Snowden, M.P., on May 1st, in a car which was unlicensed. Parker said it was purely an over- sight. Fined 20s. and costs. Illtyd Williams, Aberdare, represent- ed by Mr. T. W. Griffiths, was similarly charged. P.C. Thomas said he spoke to Mr. Williams, who said he had instructed his assistant to take out a licence. Mr. Griffiths said that that was so. Mr. Williams had given the assistant £ 3 3s., with instructions to obtain a revenue licence. Fined 20s. and costs. John Morgan and Son (Aberdare), Ltd., answered a charged of having neglected to take out a licence for a hackney carriage. Mr. W. Thomas defended, and a like fine was inflicted in this case. Thos. Dix, Aberdare, similar offence, 20s. and costs. A Defendant and the Stipendiary. Chas. Henry, who had a shooting stall in the Trades Exhibition held re- cently at the Aberdare Market, was summoned for using an air gun without a licence. P.C. Owen Thomas described the gun, and added that customers were allowed to use it for a penny a shot. When spoken to defendant said he had never been approached before regard- ing a licence. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s. and costs. Defendant: I am still of the opinion that a licence is unnecessary. Stipendiary: You better appeal. Defendant: If it went to a fight I am sure I should win and you would lose. (Laughter.) Why Not Speak Welsh? A middle-aged man who was seated in the body of the Court, created a scene just at this stage by shouting to the Bench: Yr ydych yn Gymry i gyd yna; paham na siaradwch chwi Gym- i raeg?" ("You are all Welshmen I there; why not speak Welsh?") raeg?" ("You are all Welshmen I there; why not speak Welsh?") There was considerable hubbub, dur- ing which the Stipendiary ordered the interrupter's ejection. Two or three constables surrounded the man and escorted him out. He was evidently surprised at such a drastic action, and resisted for a while, stating that he meant no harm. (" 'Does dim niwed o gwbl.") He was turned out, and continued protesting for a while at the bottom of the steps. After Hours. Andrea Polledre, an Italian ice-cream vendor, carrying on business in Com- mercial Street, Aberdare, was brought up for keeping his house open after 11 p.m. P.C. Maloney deposed that he saw 10 boys in the shop at 11.30 p.m. eating ice-cream. Stipendiary: The boys ought to be brought here as well. I should fine them. It is very unfair on defendant's part to remain open while other people I close. He must pay 20s. and costs. Guardians' Little List. Warrant Officer Richards, on behalf of the Guardians, preferred a charge against Wm. John for 14s. arrears on a maintenance order, made in respect of his father.—Ordered to pay forthwith. Wm. Harris owed £ 5 15s. 6d., arrears on an order to pay Is. 6d. weekly to- wards the maintenance of his father. Defendant earned RI 12s. 3d. per week. —Ordered to pay at once. Lewis Langport, Abercwmboi, owed L2 10s. arrears on an order to pay 10s. per week towards the maintenance of his wife and fchild. The man earned £ ? 10s. 6d. per week.—Order for pay- ment. Philip Jones, Trecynon, was ordered to pay Is. Sd. towards the upkeep of his father in the Merthyr Workhouse. A Rhigos Case. Richard Milton and Philip Rees, Rhigos, were summoned for being drunk and disorderly in Neath Road, Rhigos. Mr. W. Thomas defended. P.C. Lloyd deposed to seeing both defendants drunk on May 28. They were abusive and used filthy language. Rees had been in receipt of compensa- tion, and was always drunk. When he spoke to them Milton said ',You better clear out, you b-, or else you'll get your head broken." Rees said: "I will help you." In reply to Mr. Thomas, P.C. Lloyd said there was no one on the road at the time, but people in the houses were disturbed by the defendants' noise. Rees (one of the defendants) was called and said he had been a collier. Stipendiary: And you are a gentle- man at large, now? (Laughter.) Defendant: They won't allow me to gi underground because of an accident. In reply to his solicitor Rees said he had lived in Rhigos all his life, and he had ntver been in Court before. He had been to work on the day in ques- tion, and was sober when the^onstable saw him. John Wood, Glanrhyd, said he was with the defendants at the time, and he had a lemonade at the New Inn and left at 9.55. He saw P.C. Lloyd com- ing on a cycle, and he (P.C. Lloyd) jumped down near them. Rees and Milton turned their backs on the con- stable, and Lloyd said: "You need not turn your back, Milton, I'll have you again some day." The Stipendiary said he did not be- lieve a word that Rees said, and in- flicted fines of 10s. and costs each. An Abercwmboi Row. Richard Evans, John Street, Aber- cwmboi, summoned Daniel Thomas, Jenkin Street, Abercwmboi, for as- sault. Evans said that on the night of May 31st he was passing defendant's house when the defendant shouted after him. Witness asked him what he wanted, and was told that he would like to give him a thick Up. Defendant thereupon struck him three times. » Defendant cross-examined complain- ant at some length. After asking 2 or 3 questions, defendant produced a paper from his pocket. Stipendiary: That's your brief, I sup- pose? (Laughter.) Defendant then proceeded with his questions, and asked Evans what was his business in Jenkins Street. Stipendiary: That is none of your business. Defendant: Did you claim to be the 8-stone champion from the Rhondda?— No. Stipendiary (to defendant) Did you think he was a champion?—Yes. Defendant: Were you recently sum- moned for assaulting a young man?— Yes, but I was not at fault. Defendant: Were you very much damaged by what I gave you?-No, not very much, but if I had the blow you gave to another, I should be damaged. Complainant said he did not want to be hard on defendant, because he had a large family. Defendant: Don't plead for me; I can plead for myself. Defendant was fined 10s. and costs. Another 'Cwmbol Case. Mrs. Annie Winnan was summoned by her neighbour, Mrs. Owen, Aber- cwmboi, for using bad language towards her. Mrs. Owen said she had been called a drunken bitch and ordered to Aber- nant to hear her character and see her lover. Defendant: All lies. Mrs. Langport gave evidence for com- plainant, and said that she asked "the boss" if she should go to Cwmaman with Mrs. Owen. Stipendiary Who is the boss? Witness: My husband. Stipendiary: I am glad to hear you acknowledge it.

MUSIC FROM THE CLOUDS. One of the first things that surprises J a foreigner on arriving at Pekin is the strange sound that seems to come down from the clouds, but which really comes from the musical doves of that city. Overhead on all sides are great flocks j of these birds, and ever as they sweep to and fro the weird music is heard. Compared with the plaintive coo of ordinary pigeons it sounds mysterious, and yet it is easily explained. To the tail of each bird is fastened an instru- ment known as a "chaothe"; "chao" signifying pipes, and "the" mechanical. The instrument is composed of several small reeds, and is so light that the bird's flight is not impeded thereby. It is fastened to the tail between the two middle feathers, and is kept in its place by a small stick, which passes through it. During the hird's rapid flight the air passes impetuously through the reeds, causing continuous shrill sounds. It is said that these instruments were invented by a man- darin. and their object was to protect the doves, which are highly prized everywhere in China, from birds of prey.

Aspersions on a Mountain Ash Church. Trustees Obtain An Apology. A joint meeting of the trustees and deacons of Noddfa C.M. Church, Mountain Ash, was held on Tuesday evening in the Church to consider a matter of vital importance regarding certain rumours. The pastor, Rev. J. 0. Jenkins pre- sided, and expressed surprise that Mr Horace Wheatley had not attended the meeting. He had been asked to apologise for liis conduct in bringing a gin into the vestry at 11 o'clock on Sunday night, June 1st. He had signed an apology, but had failed to fulfil his promise to publish the apology in the "Abcrdare Leader" and the "Merthyr Express." Mr. Rogers told the meeting that he had invited Mr. Wheatley to attend the meeting and explain. He had re- ceived the following letter from him:—- "Gentlemen,—I respectfully beg to inform you that I have instructed Mr. Sam Shipton to act on my behalf. Horace Wheatley." The pastor, giving further particu- lars, said that Wheatley had been en- gaged to clean the windows, and had taken advantage of being in the pos- session of the keys of the chapel to act in the way mentioned above. Wheat- ley was not a member of the chapel, neither was the girl. Unfortunately, many rumours had gone abroad that members of the chapel had been guilty of similar conduct, and even the deacons themselves were suspected. The trus- tees had no idea, when Wheatley applied for the keys, that he would come in on Sunday night, and they wanted to show the public of Mountain Ash that the aspersions cast upon members of the chapel were totally unjustified. They had instructed Mr. Wm. Thomas, Aber- dare, in the matter, and his advice would be accordingly taken. Person- ally, he was of opinion that it would clear the church of the stigma which had been cast upon it if the whole thing were published in the press. Mr. Tom Davies thought that that step would realize all that was neces- sary, and show that all they wanted to do was to remove this stigma placed on a Christian Church. Mr. Davies, saddler, did not believe in retaliating, and thought that the publishing of the affair in the press would end the matter. He proposed that they adopt that course. Mr. Evan Evans seconded. The proposition was carried unani- mously. The following are the terms of the apology:— "To the Trustees of Noddfa Church, Mountain Ash. I, the undersigned, do hereby most humbly apologise to the trustees of the above church for my conduct, viz., being in the vestry in company with a young lady at 11 o'clock at night. 1 also tender my sincere re- gret for having caused so much trouble. (Signed) HORACE WHEATLEY."

Business Corner. REAL BUSINESS ASSETS. To-day we are;all in a hurry in the business world, and are apt to think that money and property are the main assets that a business man can possess. This is a great mistake, but, of course, both are essential. Courtesy is a real business asset, and this fact is being more and more realised as business be- comes more of a science. The success- ful business man of to-day must have the happy knack of making every cus- tomer feel that the firm is interested in. him personally. Courtesy in this sense, of course, covers a very wide field. You must be aware that it means much more than a polite manner. It implies sympathy and a desire to help; it means that a business man knowing the ins and outs of his business must try to get hold of his customer's point of view and give him the assistance he probably needs in deciding just what he wants and how far to go. Politeness and good manners constitute the polish of the raw material and show up the beauty of the grain of the wood. System is another good business asset, and this is a thing that takes a long time for a business man to. acquire. Of course, get business first; then system. By leaving your desk clear and every- thing up in good shape each night- leaving the work at a definite point- you can resume in the morning with- out loss of time. If this is not done you very often find that the next morning you have to go over the entire business of the preceding day in order to find a place to take hold. This results in a loss of energy, as it were, and in a day, or even a week, you will find that you cannot get as much work done as would be possible by a better system. You have seen many a man who appears to be always busy—usually in a grand rush- knd yet he does not accomplish half as much as the fellow who works quietly, systematically, and steadily. The secret of success in this century is getting things done. If von fail to get your task done through the lack of proper system you will find yourself in the ever-swelling ranks of the might- have-been." the come nears," and the tried but failed" class of people. Another asset that a business man can possess, and one which. I think, is the greatest of all is an educated staff. The employee who can do a little thinking on his own account is always appreciated by the proprietor of the establishment. I mean the employee who take.s the trouble to go to the head of the depart- ment and seek information, providing the head of the department has the business education which qualifier him to instruct the under-employee. It is very often the case that the under- employee can teach the. head of the de- partment. Such a department manager is "not fit to he placed in a position of authority. It should be the interest of every manager to encourage his em- ployees to make inquiries, and to give them the full benefit of his own ex- perience. If the head of the firm does itot -educate his staff, he has an ignor- ant staff to deal with, and that is not at all conducive to advancement. So re- member, when you put a head to a de- partment. see that he is educated enough to teach those entrusted to him the necessary salesmanship that is re- quired for your respective trade that will help it to its far-reaching possi- bilities. „ E.R.B.

The Wooden Blocks. Aberdare Council Defy the Town. Great indignation prevails in the town regarding the Council's high-hand- ed action in proceeding to lay the wooden blocks in spite of the protests made at two very large and representa- tive meetings. The contractors are al- ready digging the road up on both sides to make room for the wooden bricks. These bricks are the objects of much curiosity, and tradesmen and miners stand round and wonder how such a few cartloads of firewood can cost JE850 of hard-earned ratepayers' money. The Council members are condemned on all hands, and prominent ratepayers are exceedingly angry, and threaten ven- geance at the next election. The resolutions passed at the Market Hall were read at the Council on Mon- day, and the Chairman precluded any discfission thereon by stating that trie Council's decision could not be touched within three months. We learn that the Local Government Board has now been communicated with by the High Constable and his secretary, and the resolutions passed at both town's meetings have been for- warded to that Department.

The Reflector. BY HYPNOS." Trecynon women aim high. Some of them risked their necks the other day by going to the top of the new stack at Tanybryn Brickworks. An aerial trip next. The modern dame is neither tame nor timid. Have you been reflected yet? If not. why not? ¿ If you &ee it here it is so. Oh! go hon with you." A certain Cwmdare miss almost missed one of the standards on Cwmdare Hill—but she didn't, and she hit it with such force that she ■ is now nursing ('1 black eye. A Cwmdare woman received nine eggs from eight ducks the other morning. Oh go hon with you, Mrs the drake must have laid." Some Trecynon folk did the moon- light flit the other evening at about stop-tap. On a wheelbarrow, too! You did the 100 yards in fine style. T-.

Aberdare Cinema. Pictures in Tragedy and Comedy. "Everybody's doing it" has almost become a classic phrase, but there's another one running it very closely, "Everybody's saying it." Saying what and doing what, somebody asks:- Well the answer is simple, they're say- ing Clarke's the man, and what they're doing is going to see his pictures. People will insist on the best, and in this comfortably appointed house they get it. Many thousands have read the story of "Geo. Barnwell" (the London apprentice), a boy who was befriended, trained aud looked after handsomely, and then doled out a savage reward by murdering his benefactor. The tragedy is one that has entranced a whole nation, but the picture shows eventu- ally that he has' been tempted and has fallen, and is really more sinned against than sinning. The character of the temptress, Sarah Milwood, is plainly pourtrayed. The picture is set in the interesting Eliza- bethan period. Have you ever been to the beautiful sRiviera? Xo; well, the next best thing is to see the picture. Trip on the Riviera" at the Aberdare Cinema. In this travel scena are de- picted some of the most glorious scenes in the south of France. The spectators gets glimpses of lull and' dale of wood- land shade, magnificent waterfalls, and majestic mountains. He is taken past the gambling Mecca of the universe— Monte Carlo, and a trip to Cap Martin and the blue blue Mediterranean. There is also seen the Donjon, in which "The Man< in the Iron Musk" wa* im- prisoned. Another drani < of pathetic interest is that of "My baby." a story of thoughtless promise. The most in- teresting set of comedy pictures, includ- ing one of Tontolini's escapades. All these immensely expensive pictures will be shown this day (Thursday), Friday and Saturday.

A Lucky Apprentice. A Handsome Bonus. Apprentices of Messrs. Lipton, Ltd., spend their period of service under something approaching ideal circum- stances. Not only are they given a fair weekly wage while they are acquiring knowledge of their trade, hut, since the adoption of a scheme by the directors several years ago, each one is presented with a cheque for a substantial sum of money when he becomes "time-expir- ed." There is thus every encourage- ment for apprentices to take a deep in- terest in the business in which they are instructed, so that they may become thoroughly efficient members of the staff. With a view of celebrating the termination of the apprenticeship of 11t "F Ernest Roles, of the Maidenhead branch, the manager, Mr. S. Green, en- tertained the members of the staff and friends to tea at Messrs. Spindler's, High Street, on Thursday evening. There was also present Mr. W. M. Smellie, Chief Inspector, London, who represented the directors. A substan- tial repast was admirably served. There was a happier sequence to the termination of the apprenticeship than the actual social gathering, so far as the apprentice himself was concerned. It was the presentation to him, not only or his signed and sealed indentures, which he can always produce to prove that he has spent a proper apprentice- ship, but he was handed a cheque for £50 as a bonus and reward for diligence and zeal during his four years' appren- ticeship. Mr. W. M. Smellie, on behalf of the directors, presented Mr Roles first with \he credentials, and then said he had much pleasure in handing him a cheque fo" e.30, which he advised should be put into the bank and used wisely. He added "I think it would be well if you gave it to your mother for investment." (Applause.) He felt sure that Mr. Roles would look back upon the years spent with Mr. Green, the manager of the Maidenhead branch, as some of the best of his life. (Hear, hear.) He ex- pressed the hope that the Company would shortly be able to offer Mr. Roles a better position than that which he held at present. It was only by hard work that he would advance, but if he followed the example of Mr. Green, he would not go astray. He added: "I hope you will progress well in future years. All I can do now is to wish you success." At this juncture a telegram was handed to Mr. Smellie, who announced that it had been sent by Mr. John Cansfield, the general manager at the headquarters in London, and that the message was as follows: "Please ex- press to Roles our appreciation of his services. I hope he will have good health and long service with us." (Ap- plause.) Mr. Green thanked Mr. Smellie for his kindness in visiting them that day. He remarked that apprenticeship days years ago were not so good as they were nowadays. Mr. Roles had worked well throughout his apprenticeship, and he had done all that was required of him. Mr. Bullock, a member of the staff, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Green for inviting them to tea, a kindness which all appreciated, because it en- abled them to join in the firm's good wishes for young Mr. Roles' future suc- cess. Mr. Green assured the company that it was a pleasure for him to have ar- ranged that happy function. He anti- cipated another such pleasureable meet- ing, as there was another apprentice who would soon be time-expired.

Lay of the Cwmdare Trams. — King Solomon the Mighty (who for wisdom took the bun), Said, once upon a time, "There's nothing new beneath the sun" I'm sure he would apologise and say his words were vain If at the present moment he could just walk 'round again; The march of modern progress would take him by surprise, Fresh sights and sounds would stop his breath, and open both his eyes, The motor-cars on every road, the aero- planes in air, But most of all the tramcars that are coming to Cwmdare. Folk sav the age of miracles is long since past and gone, And that they can't quite swallow that there were such "goings on," ijut let snch folk have patience for a little while, until They see the tramcars gliding to the top of Cwmdare Hill; dust like Elijah's chariot ascending to the sky, Still mounting up and bidding all the lower-world good-bye, The very highest tramcars in Glamorgan anywhere Will be the one that travels to the Ton up in Cwmdare. We've waited long and patiently, yet seemed to wait in vain, But now they've got the posts up, our spirits rise again; T! e "(fays of tedious trudging through the mud, and rain, and wind, And such like minor troubles will soon be left behind; 3. o matter what the weather, let it snow, or hail, or freeze, When once the cars are started we will travel at o.ur ease; (kr friends in town no longer will he able to declare, such an awful drag to get up to you in Cwmdare." Sojne of our timid ladies feel a cold foreboding chill AT rhoughl* of what may happen as the oa rs ascend the hill; JVcr should an accident occur, or say the "power" fails, nd the car goes sliding backward like a journey off the rails; W/i.vr' the Cemetery is handy, and I'm sure that Mr. Gwynne, Y'v'a'h his accustomed courtesy, will kindly take us in; Vt .■ i re so well provided for, that people everywhere .1 :t surely feel quite envious of the dwellers in Cwtpdare. rpin that great eventful day for which our spirits yearn, Tin- youngsters must have holiday, the men will lose a turn; The iadies will their wash-tubs leave, -.ve'Il get a band to play, In fact we ought to make it a general holiday. "L. he a sight to witness—if the Vv-eat-her turns out fine; Wi: strings of flags a-hanging out like v ashing on the line; But 1 hope the District Council, when deciding on the fare. charge us more than twopence om the Queen's up to Cwmdare.

Continuing her evidence, Mrs. Lang- port said that her husband said she could go on condition that they did not lose themselves, and the reply was, "No, we won't, for we'll have a 'fancy man' each." Mrs. Winnan then rushed in and said that Mrs. Owen had a fancy man. Stipendiary: Then the first sugges- tion about a fancy man came from your side. Defendant will be bound over to keep the peace. 1 A wordy warfare took place between defendant and witness, and the Stipen- diary interposed and saitl they were not on an Abercwmboi pavement now. Defendant: I have witnesses, too, and I want to call them. Mrs. Langport: They are false wit- nesses. Mrs. Winnan was thereupon bound over to keep the peace and ordered to pay the costs. Maternity and Paternity Benefits. Florence Edwards, 5 Forge View, Godreaman, summoned Edward Davies, 26 Lambert Street, Gadlys, to show cause, etc. Mr. W. Thomas appeared for com- plainant, and defendant was not present. Complainant said she gave birth to a boy on March 7th last. Defendant had admitted he was the father. Intim- acy took place --at Glanrhyd, Cwmaman, where she was in service. She had re- ceived maternity benefit of 30s. under the Insurance Act. Mr. W. Thomas: And the defendant has written letters to her claiming credit for that 30s. He wants the money refunded. Stipendiary: He must go to the Treasury for that. Mrs. Sarah Ann Edwards, 5 Forge View, mother of complainant, stated that defendant told her before' the child was born that if the child came to time he would pay. He had since paid several sums of money. An order to pay 3s. 6d. a week was made. Theft of Coal. Wm. Williams and John Blake, of Abercwmboi, the former an adult and the latter a boy 11 years of age, were summoned for stealing coal.. Mr. W. Kenshole, who prosecuted, said that the defendants were endanger- ing their own lives by picking coal under the aerial railway. P.C. Histon proved the case. Williams said he had ordered coal at the colliery three weeks ago, and had paid for it the Saturday previous. He wanted coal badly because a child of his was consumptive, and the doctor had ordered him to have a good fire and to open the windows. The Bench took this into consider- ation, and fined him 5s. only. Blake was fined 10s.

Thomas, who appeared for the Society, said that the case came on three months ago, when it was ad- journed to see if the defendant would improve. However, things had gone from bad to worse. Mrs. Jones, the wife, bore out her advocate's statement, and a warrant was issued for Jones's arrest. 40 Years' Record Broken. For playing football in Mount Pleas- ant Street,.Trecvnon, Jos. James Lewis, a youth, stood beside the dock. An elderly man, who appeared to be the defendant's grandfather, said his family had been living in Trecynon for 40 years, and this was the first sum- mons received by any member of the family, on either side. Stipendiary: Oh, it isn't a very ser- ious case—not like stealing. Pay 2/6 only. Husband's Arrears. Mary Howells sued her husband, John Howells, for £ 2, arrears of main- tenance. Mr. W. Thomas said that the man had refused to pay unless warrants were issued. She had a child, who was a cripple, which necessitated frequent visits to Cardiff.
