THE SALVING OF THE SUEVIC. A WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK. The feat ef cutting the White Star liner Suevic in two off the Lizard by means of dyna- mite Wa.6 completed on Tuesday. At high tide on Monday evening there was little to record ex- cepting a continuance of blasting at rare inter- vals. By morning, however, it was known that the blasting had been completed right through her keel. and that only the main steel deck remained to be separated. Thl" heavy swell from the Atlantic increased, and it seemed likely that the waves would assist the parting of the vessel. This proved to be the case, for about eight o'clock, with a loud grinding and snapping noiw, the after part of the Suevic began to rise and fall buoyantly on the swell, shewing that the separation of the vessel, which had been laboriously attempted for the past fortnight, had at last been achieved. Three turrs were then brought into position, and with great skill hawsers were passed across, and the rescued por- tion of the Suevic was towed clear of the rocks. As a proof of the wonderful character of the. salvors' work, the cleavage was seen to be quite j smooth and clean cut. As the wind and swell of the sea, did not seem likely to go down, no time was lost in towing the "dved portion of the liner to Plymouth, where it is understood she will be temporarily pitched up in one of the dockyard dry docks. Th3 salved portion of the Suevic floated easily while being towed stern first. The portion which remains on the rocks, approximately a third of the ship (the fore part, including the bridge), was still standing riid. when the salved two-thirds, containing the en- 1 gines and other fittings and equipment of most value, passed out of sight. How long it will stand the battering of the sea is doubtful. So admirably managed were the preparations of the salvors for the balancing of the Suevic that when the vessel parted the salved portion floated off almost on an even keel. The actual le'i:rfh of the vessel remaining on the rocks is lO+it., and the portion salved approximately 400ft.

TRAGEDY AT A DANCE. EIGHT CHILDREN BURNT. The Odessa papers describe a terrible tragedy that took place at aj children's enter- tainment at a place called Kachofika, resulting in eight children being burnt to death. A dance was being held at the St. Petersburg Hotel in aid of the local .school. Among other amuse- ments, a winter scene was enacted on the plat- form. Snow was supposed to be falling, and J about thirty children had pieces of wool gummed to their clothing in imitation of falling snow- flakes. In the first act, while woollen flakes were falling from above, the children, in their march, overturned a lighted candle. At once the wool lying on the floor caught fire, aud the f1-ightcned children run from corner to corner. The public present wpre for a time paralysed with horror, while the whole scene became a sea of flame, The affrighted children set fire to each other in their frantic efforts to escape. When help came some lav terribly burnt 011 the floor, and others had lost consciousness. Over twenty were sent to the hospital, where eight have already died, amI manv remained in a srrious condition. Madame Slaventantor, mother of one of the vic- tims, has lost her reason, and Madame Pritsker has died of shock.

MURDERER REPRIEVED. Major Knox. Governor of Wandsworth Prison, has received a communication from the Home Secretary stating that, after taking all the cir- cumstances of the case into consideration, he had advised his Majesty to grant a reprieve to Albert Parker Hawkins, the ex-soldier, 'who was sent- enced to death at the last session of the Central Criminal Court for the wilful murder of his sister, Mary Ann Alpe, at Walworth. The jury recommended Hawkins to mercy on the ground that the murder was quite unpremeditated. The sentence will be commuted to one of penal servi- tude for life.

HOME RULE LEGISLATION. Speaking at a great gathering in the market square at Dungannon ro protest against the im- pendifig Home Rule legislation, Mr. James Campbell. M.P.. said that Unionists would re- sist the proposed measure on the express ground that it was to be an instalment of Home Rule. There could be no compromitse on the subject, as there no real demand for Home Rule. The population of Ireland numbered 4,500,000, inclu- ding 1,500.000 Protest an tn. 99 per cent. of whom were solid against Home Rule. In addi- tion. there was a large number of nominal Nationalist* who were bitterly opposed to it, and regarded it with as much alarm and apprehen- sion the people of the north. There was no doubt the goal of the Nationalists was complete separation. The GQvcrnment proposals, if adopted, would, instead of advancing the pros- peritv of the country, only level dawn the prOB- perity of UMfer.. Lister held the key of the situation, and if it remained sound on the Unionist question, no Government was strong enough to divorce it from Great Britain. Where Gladstone failed. Sir H. Campbell-Bsnnerman could not succeed.

BRIGAND PAYS THE lpENALTY. A brigand in the neighbourhood of Salerno re- cently killed a non-commissioned officer, and the other day he paid the penalty with his life. In a moment of fancied security he sent a woman to levy blackmail on a person of some substance, The woman, as she was returning with the sum demanded, was waylaid and arrested by the police, who thus learnt, says the Tribune corre- spondent, where their man was in hiding. That night they literally "raked" the wood where the brigand lay concealed. Escape was impossible; and he received the fatal shot from a young com- rade of the brave soldier whom he, but a short while before, had ser.t to his doom.

MOTOR CAR IN A QUICKSAND. A party of London motorists went out with Mr. W. T. Lord, of London, in his Argyll car for a spin along the sands at Filey on Monday. They left the car. in order to take photographs, at the water's edge. Returning a few minutes later they found the car sunk over the axles and rapidly sinking further in an active quicksand. Efforts to extricate the car were fruitless. A horseman galloped to the fish-landing to obtain the assistance of some carts. At the time the carters were busy unloading boats of catches of fish, and the fisherman refused to allow the carta to assist unless thp motorKts purchased the fish. This Mr. Lord and his friends were forced to do, for thé tide only required eight minutes before it started to now. They thus acquired four car- goes. With the assistance of the horses and carts, two friendly motors, and a crowd of helpers, the Argyll was finally hauled out of the quicksand, but not before it had sunk over the floor boards, and the wheels had been lost sight of. It was oldy rescued in time to escape the tide, which shortly afterwards flowed over the spot. The fish was subsequently sold by auction.

FIRES IN LONDON. Damage to the extent of £1,000 has been caused by a fire which broke out at Barrington- road, Brixton, in a house of twelve rooms be- longing to Mr. H. S. Jordan. The family were away for the Easter holiday, and the fire must have smouldered all day. When it was dis- r covered the place was completely involved. The firemen were unable to prevent the practical de- struction of the entire residence and its contents, The heart of the cabinet-making industry in London, Bacon-street. Bethn-al Green, was the scene of a serious fire on Tuesday morning, which broke out on the premises of Messrs. Kauffman and Scigni. cabinet-makers. A three- floored building, which was used as workshops and si ores, was severely damaged. A L'c broke out on Monday night at 1, St. Mark's-street. Whitechapel. where an extensive buildinsr of two and five floors, used as manufac- tory offices and stores by a firm of Passover cake manufacturers, became in .-olverl from some un- known cause. The ground and first floors of the premises were blazing when the Commercial- road firemen arrived, and were in the; result very seriously damaged.

MTSSING SEALER TURNS UP. The arrival at St. John", Newfoundland, of the missing- sealer Neptune, heavily loaded, has changed the aspect of the community from gloom to gladness. The Neptune reports the rest of the scaling well. Two steamers were lost and two disabled. The catch of hail seals will be nearly 3CG.CC0.

CORONERS NOVEL EXPERIENCE. The East Xeul coroner has held a unique inquest at Boaghton Alupn. near Ashford. The inquiry concerned the (Lath of the infant child of a cottager in [l remote di-trict, and owing to the lack of ac ommodation at the cottage the coroner at tho d<-orvyy, and took down the depositions by holding his papers aainst the doorpost. The j'nv in a double rank on the garden path, and the witnesses, with the ex. ception of the mother, gave their evidence in the open air. For the sum of £1,800 the great organ at Exeter Hall is to be bought for erection in the public hall of Ipswich. In an orchard at Gringley, near Retford, a number of human skulls and a quantity of bones have been dug up not a foot below the ground. Successful trials have been made of the de- tonating fog-signal .apparatus at Cape Spartel Lighthouse, and the inauguration will take place on Mav 1st.

RIOTING IN IRELAND. FIERCE FIGHT WITH THE POLICE. A Carrick-on-Shannon correspondent reports that the town of Elphin, Co. Roscommon, was the scene of exciting incidents on Sunday and Monday, encounters taking place between the ■ police and the public. Meetings of the United Irish League were called for the purpose of putting into effect reso- lutions passed at a previous meeting, calling upon those who held land on the eleven months' ] system to surrender it to the branches of the League or be subject to a vigorous boycott. A large force of police. probably 300, is at present in the district guarding cattle on farms, some of which belong to Sir A. O'Connor, and these pre- vented the meetings being held. In one instance the police came into contact with the mob, and a free fight ensued, and not until reinforcements arrived on the scene could the onslaught of the mob he repelled. Both on Sunday and Monday the Resident Magistrate, with three district inspectors and one county inspector, were on the pot. but the agitators were harassing their movements. On Monday, when the police endeavoured to prevent the passing of the crowd and their bind to the place where a mceting was anl101111c..cl to b3 held, the crowd broke through the ranks .of the police, (llId ;;{) threatening did matters becomo that- the Resident Magistrate was sent for with a view to his reading the Riot Act. As he was another farm about two miles away, where i .ere was a disturbance raging, his services were not available. Extra forces of police are being drafted into the neighbourhood, which is in a. very disturbed staie :if present.

lOAT CAPSIZED IN DUBLIN BAY. FOUR LIVES LOST. I Between one and two o'clock on Monday afternoon a small sailing craft, with four boys on board, all belonging to Howth, evidently out for a day's pleasure, suddenly heeled over and capsized off the Nose, Howth. Those on board were seen clinging to the keel for sofne time, but, owing to the strong current which was run- ring at the time the vessel drifted away from the land before anything could be done to stive the lads. The lifeboat was immediately launched, and for a long time she cruised about in the hope of finding some trace of the boat or its occupants, but without success. A schooner which was in the neighbourhood also stood by, but tho fog, which was very thick when the accident oc our red, prevented anything from being seen. It is stated that one of those 0:1 bo'trtl endeavoured to "iwim to the shore, but he must have sunk before reaching it.

EXECUTION AT WARWICK. Edwin Moore, thirty-three, an ex-private of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, was executed on Tuesday morning at Warwick Gaol for the rriurdcr of hi, mother at Leamington. Moore home in a drunken condition, and, after quarrelling about his food, threw a lighted lamp fit his mother. It missed her. He then chased her into a passage, where he eet fire to her blouse with a piece of lkhted newspaper. She died shortly afterwards from the effects of the burns she received.

PRINCE'S HORSE BOLTS. The Emperor and Empress, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, paid a visit on Mon- ciiy afternoon to the Villa Licgnitz, says a Pots- dam correspondent. The Crown Princo and Crown Princess left tiC Villa. in a dogcart to return to the Castle, but the horse, frightened at the motor traffic and the great crowds in the etreets, became unmanageable and bolted. Just before the dogcart with the Imperial couple in it reached Brandenburg Gate the Crown Prince succeeded in somewhat quieting the horse, and a man dashing out of the crowd caught the horse by the bridle and brought it to a standstill. Tneir imperial Highnesses jumped down from the cart and proceeded to the Castle.

MISHAP TO A PLEASURE STEAMER. Some alarm was created at Bristol on Monday by a report that one of the local pleasure f'1:t'an'r>r. in the Channel had gone ashore at Portishead with several hundred passengers on board. On inquiry it was ascertained that the steamer Albion, which left Newport early in the morning with 400 passengers, failed, owing to a chmse fog, to make the mouth of the Avon, and went ashore just below Black Nore Light, Portishead. Fortunately the vessel grounded on a targe paten of gravel, and by throwing out landing stages the passengers were all enabled to get ashore. They were then conveyed by train to Bristol, arid thence to Newport. Another local steamer, the \Vr.;tvard lIo, started from Cardiff, for P.ri-'ol. but to the fog she did not pro- ceed up river, landing her passengers at Avon- mouth, whence- they were taken on by strain.

CNiITIGATED RUFFIANISM. Hooliganism of the most ruffianly type was alleged against three powerfully built men— Churles Jones, George Waugh, and Joe Blox- ham. ail carmen, who were charged at Maryle- bo-ie v.hh being drunk arid disorderly and using oh language in the Marylebonc-road. A police-eonstable stated that late on Saturday night the three prisoners were deliberately knocking people down as they came out of the luarylebone terminus of the Great Central Rail- way. When he arrived on tbe scene no fewer than four men were lyiug prone on the ground- Jones knocked clown a man and then kicked him on the head. Waugh knocked down another and struck him on the jaw. while Bloxham hurled a third man into the centre of the road- way, with the result that he narrowly escaped being run over by a passing motor-car. Mr. Paul Taylor: Unmitigated ruffianism of this kind must be put down, as far as it possibly can be. by imposing severe sentences. Unfortu- nately, the most severe sentence is one month's hard labour, but such as it is you shall have it-- one month's hard labour each.

CEUMPSMAN AND MOON^MAN." What is a "crumpsman" or moonsman"_? The answer was supplied by one of three pri- soners who appeared at Marlborough street Police-court, London, charged on remand with being suspects attempting to steal from persona getting on omnibmses in Tottenham Court-road. The three prisoners, who were rough-looking men, were named Smith, Properton, and Kerby. Properton said he was a "crumpsman" or moonsman." One of the officers in the case thought that meant a "crook" or dishonest per- son, but Properton denied that, and declared that the names were applied to "one who could not stop in one place, but must go wherever to'd and do whatever bid." He could say no more for fear of disclosing the secrets of the society to which crumpsmen" belonged. Pre- vious convictions were proved against all three prisoners, and Properton. who vvas a convict "on licence, protested against his 'oid career" being brought up against him "before an audi- ence like this." Mr. Denman sentenced Proper- ton, under the Prevention of Crimes Act, to twelve months' hard labour, and ordered the other two to serve throe months each as rogues and vagabonds.

TRAGEDY IN A LAMBETH STREET. Eariv on Monday morning a policeman patrol- ling Tinworth-street, Vauxhall, London, found a woman unconscious in a gateway. She had evi- dently been seriously assaulted and died soon after being taken to St. Thomas's Hospital. She was identified as Marie Webb, aged twenty-four, of Oswald-place,. Kennington-lane. The police arrested a carman named Jarnefc Wood, who }¡d kept company with Vhbb for several years. He was charged at the Westminster Police-court with causing her death and remanded.

PASSENGER KILLED BY A STONE. As a Highland train to Glasgow was nearing Larbert on Thursday, a stone came through the c'iage window and struck a passenger named WiLinn Winfon, belonging to Pitlochry, who was on his way to Canada. He died almost im- mediately. There s at present no riue to the person who threw the stone.

ELECTRIC CAR OVERTURNED. I THIRTY-TWO PASSENGERS INJURED. 'I A serious tramcar accident occurred on the sys- tem of the South Metropolitan Tramway Com- pany on Monday afternoon, by which thirty-two people were injured, some, it is feared, fatally. Immediately after passing over a railway bridge between Wellington and Sutton the cars run down a hill at Park-lane until they reach the corner of Ruskin-road, where the line turns sharp round, the latter road being at right angles. Car No. 19 left Croydon a minute or two past three o'clock, and at half-past 'three reached the top of the railway bridge. What then happened is not quite clear; but it is pre- sumed that the car by some means, got out of control, as on reaching the sharp corner, wh\;re a stop is always made, it took tho corner so rapidly that it overturned. It being holiday time the tram was crowded with passengers, especially on the top, and they were all thrown off into the road. It was at once Evident that a number were badly hurt, and in a few minutes a force of police were on the spot. They rendered valuable assitance with their ambulance, and assisted in binding up the wounds of the injured. The company's doc- tor, who lives but a short distance away, was on the spot in a few minutes; three or four other medical men arrived soon afterwards. An empty house was used as a temporary hospital, and there many of the sufferers wtre taken to have their wounds temporarily bandaged. As soon as this had been done most of the injured were placed on a car returning to Croydon ar.d taken to Croydon General Hospital, whence a number were ailowed to proceed to their homes after having their injuries attended to. Ten of the most serious eases were detained. Of those who remained at the scene of the accident several went home after being bandaged, and some seven or eight were taken to the Cottage Hospi- tal. All but four of these were able to go home a little later, those detained being Mr. and Mrs. Saycrs, Sutton, and their baby, and a lad named Stanley Chivington, Sutton. Mr. Savers was suffering from concussion, but his case is not re- garded as serious. Chivington has a broken elbow, while the others were suffering from cuts. Among the other injured were: Miss Bay, Sutton, belly shaken and grazed about the face and side; Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Sutton, and their three children, cuts and abrasions to the hands and face; and Mr. and Mrs. Downing, Sutton. The driver of the car escaped serious injury, while tho conductor was cut about considerably. The car_i» stated to have been in perfect run- ning condition. The following is a. list of those taken to the Croydon General Hospital: Mr. and Mrs. Chat- field, Croydon; Miscs F. Francis, Carshalton; Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Sutton; Mr., Mre., and Miss Rolling, Sutton Miss E. Alien, Camberwell; Mr. and Mrs. Collins, Addiseornbe; Mr. and Mrs. Suhr. Croydon the Misses Alice and Dora Chiv- ington. Sutton; Mr. John Strutt. Alice Strutt, and Harry Strutt, Clapham; Mr. John Giles, Croydon: Alfred Lenney. conductor, Tooting; Mr. Charles Neale, Sutton; his son, Ernest Neale, two and a-half year; Mr. Thomas lladler, Mrs. Hadler, and Grace ITadler, Croydon. Of these twenty-five, ten were detained at the hospital, and the others, after being treated, were allowed to go to their homes. Those who re- mained under treatment were IVfr. and Mrs. Chatfield, Miss Francis, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Roll- ing. Mr. Collins, Mr. Y., Mrs. Suhr, and Mr. Neale and his son. The condition of Mr. Collins and Ernest. Neale was described a6 very 6erious. It was stated at the Croydon Hospital on Tues- day night that there had been no substantial im- provement in the condition of the persons in- jured in the tramcar accident, and that Mr. Col- lins. of Addiseornbe, was as bad as he could be. Several other patients are very bad. Inquiries at the Carshalton Hospital shewed that, only two of those injured in the tram acci- dent remained there, and neither of these was regarded as being in the least danger.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO SPAIN. The Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs has issued an official statement to the effect that as Queen Victoria Eugenie ia not well enough to take part in any festivities, the visit of their Britannic Majesties to Madricl has been post- poned till the autumn. The of King Edward and Queen Alexandra to Cartagena will be of quite an official character, but their Majes- ties will not land. and all the festivities will take place on board ship. This arrangement will indicate that their Britannic Majesties will only regard the-visit of King Alfonso to London as returned when they have themselves proceeded to Madrid.

LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE. The Independent Labour Party's Conference was opened at Derby on Monday. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, M.P., in the course of his presiden- tial address, said that the party had nailed old- age pensions to their masthead. There was a. long and animated debate on thè woman suff- rage question, and ultimately the conference declared in favour of adult suffrage and political equality of the sexes, and considered that the rights of suffrage should immediately be ex- tended to women on the same conditions as to men. Tho conference was continued on Tuesday. After a lively debate it was decided to send a message of sympathy to the imprisoned female suffragists. The resolutions which were passed covered a wide field, and included one condemn- ing Mr. Haldane's Army Bill. The salaries of the Independent Labour Party Members of Parliament were fixed at 200 guineas, and the party is to retain its separate organisation. Huddersfield was chosen for next year's confer- ence.

TEACHERS' CONFERENCE. The thirty-eighth annual conference of the National Union of Teachers opened at Oxford on Monday. Mr. Pickles, of Burnley, in the course of his presidential address, severely criti- cised the higher education policy of the Board of Education, maintaining that it was hindering the secondary education of the children of the working classes. lie advocated a liberal system of secondary schools and the formation of a council of education to advise the Education Board. The advance of democracy, he urged, rendered supremely necessary the raising of popular intelligence.

Ham education authority in reducing the salaries of some 500 teachers, and congratulating Dr. Macnamara, M.P., on his oppointment as Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Govern- ment Board.

GERMANY AND MOROCCO. The Tangier correspondent of the Times in a striking telegram deals with the position of Ger- many in Morocco. He points out that the an- tagonism, political and commercial, bctweeu France and Germany is ruining the country, since the Maghzen take advantage of it to ob. struct the introduction of all reforms, and, mean. while. crime and anarchy increase. It is unlikely that Germany can compete with France, who practically controls the financial situation, and whose trade interests arc enormously in advance of those of Germany, while the French occupa- tion of Ujda will doubUcss entail a loss of pres- tige for Germany. Hut so long as the Maghzer are allowed to interpret the attitude of Germany as supporting their policy of anti-European re- action. the existing tension, with possibly deplor- able results, will never be removed. The ques- tion. then. that Germany should ask herself, say: the correspondent, is. Is it worth while? Despatches rcaeived in Paris from Ujda beal witness to the corred attitude of the tribal chiefs and of the native officials of Ujda. The militarj authorities have provided for the organisation 01., a dispensary, a post-office, and a hospital, anc have arranged for the cleaning of the town, ir which a French Consul is to be installed.

MAIL TRAIN ROBBED. A daring robbery of postal parcels took place from the mail train which left the Glasgow Cale- donian Central Station on Saturday night at eleven o'clock, in connection with the Belfast steamer. It appears that eight parcel baskets were tampered wi", after the train left Glasgow, and that one regi- parcel from Canada, ioi an address in Ir< is missing. The missing parcel is believed ■ have been valuable, but ol what precise value lie postal officials cannot say. It is not believer that anything specially valu. able was extractcc1 ;mm the eight parcel' baskets, as the officials ha<' no advices as to the contents. The parcels were, arrieel in the van next to the engine, and the m. 'Is were carried in the guard's van. Everything was in order when the train left Glasgow, and it was only when Ardrossar was reached that it was discovered that jthf fastenings of the baskets had been tampered with. The signalmen at No. 2 cabin. Arclrossan. olHrved a man or ning thc door of tho piT.igec van as the train 6 ""led into the station at mid. night. The officia1, believe the man would Lave been able to drop off withont further observa- tion. It would have been easy for the thief tc have left from the off side of the first-class car- riage next the parcels van at Egiinton-street Station and enter could then havE ransacked the pa 1Jl to Ardrossan. A suggestion is made that a. working man and woman should be added to the Police Commis- sion, in view of its further labours. Guardians of the poor at. Long Ashton, near Bristol, are puzzled by a case of lapse of memory on the part of a woman from South America. The stranded Suevic has been cut in two by dynamite, and the part with the engines towed to Plvmouth.

Football Tournament. Keen Contests and Huge Crowds The ground of the Rhyl Football Club, aojoining the Botanical Gardens, in Grange Road was the scene of a series of exciting contests lasting almost from sunrise to sunset on Easter Monday. The Easter football tournament is a hardy annual to which socker enthusiasts for a considerable radius beyond the confines of Rhyl look forward eagerly, and the glorious weather which favoured the holidays made the day's plc:.is.jre ideal. There wis a record at- tendance, and the gate" wis of necessity a substantial advance on last year. The duties of secretary were admirably carried out by Mr J P Jones, John Street. The referees for the day wre Messrs F Beech, Rhyl R W Jones, Holywell E Brown Jones, Rhyl and W E Yates, Chester. Capable assistance was rendered the secre- tary by Messrs E Jones J F Bray, W H Jon s, Jos Roberts, R Ellis, H Price, T Roberts, James Jones, Shepherd, Mayhew, C Hubbard, P Grffitiis and W Jones. Twenty-seven teams entered for the c,om- petittions, eighteen in the minor section, and nine in the juvenile. Liverpool Orrell holders of the minor for the past two years arrived too late to comnete.

Smethwick Old Church Ig, Rhyl Victoria o. (After two drawn gAtneS). The teams were as follows :Rhyl: Goal, Mark Hughes; backs, John Wiliiams and T W Ellis halves, E Hughes, J W Ellis and R Hughes; for- wards, Robin Hughes, T E Hughes, Gregory, Harri- son, and J Hughes. Smethwick: goal, Brown; backs, A Crump and Phillips; halves, Nicholls, Atkinson (captain), and Blackham; forwards, Davies Pariish. Bowser, G Crump and Withers. This was a most closely contested round. Smethwick were the first to draw blood, after a goal-less first half. "Teltis" Hughes tquallised immediately after for the Vi:s, and during the subsequent ex. changes both custodians saved magnifi- cently. The Rhyl team had rather the best of matters till the call of time, but failed to obtain a point. An extra ten minutes each way produced some very exiting play, and another draw resulted with a corner a side. After a further five minutes each way, Smethwick proved victorious by a bare g -)al. The cups and medals were distributed. in the presence of a record crowd, by Councillor Ll B Evans, at the close of teJ hours football. 0 E XCOUR/AG ElMENT FROtM D F,XBIGH. For those who .are sick it is like a peep into the garden of hope to receive news which gives them assurance of permanent recovery. Many of us here in Rhyl will read with delight this encouraging news from Denbigh. ,l,rs Emrna Ellis, 13, Abram's Lane (Windmill Street), Denbigh, says:—"For 12 months or so I was a great sufferer from kidney trouble; I had severe pains in .my Iba:k and loins and often I found it a hard maiter to straighten myself. (My head used to ache very much, and now and then I came over dizzy. Little specks seemed ,to bel floating ibefore my eves, and I had a poor appetite. "Although I took different medicines, I got no better until I -commenced with Doan's back- ache kidney pills. I have felt like another woman since using these splendid pills—they have done me the world of good, and I do not mind iny case ibeing pulblished, .0 that others who suffer as I did know how they can get relief. (Doaii's backache kidney pills are reliable in every form of kidney and bladder complaint— in backache, rheumatism, dizzirless, sleepless- ness, frequent urinations, dropsical swellings; in lumbago, sciatica, and nervous disorders. They cure gravel, stone, and water troubles. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shill- ings and ninepence per box (six oxes for thir- teen shillings and ninepence). C: all chemists and stores, or post free, direct from Foster- ,l\cCl{:,llan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be, sure you get exactly the same kind of pills that Mrs Ellis had. —o§o—i Mr. Wood, the purser of the wrecked steam- a ship Jebba, died at Salcombe on Saturday. His illness was caused chiefly by the lorn; on the wreck and his devotion to the duties devolving on him after landing. Arthur Parker Hawkins has been found guilty. at the Old Bailey of the murder of his sister, Mrs. Mary Ann Alpe, at South-street, Wal- worth, on February, 23rd last, and sentenced to death. The jury recommended him to mercy.
