Foresters Flourish at Aberaman.
Foresters Flourish at Aberaman. Saturday last was a great day in con- nection with the Court Bailey and the Court Duffryn Cynon of the Ancient Order of Foresters both of which have their headquarters at the Griffin Inn, Aberaman. An idea of the present posi- tIon of the Courts may be judged from the following statistics: Court Bailey: Accumulated funds, over < £ 1,000- receipts in contributions for 1909, < £ 80sick pay (1909), = £ 27; funeral allowance, nil. Duffryn Cynon Court: Accumulated funds, upwards of £ 2,000; contributions received during 1909, = £ 330; sick pay (1809), =6446 17s. 4d.; funeral allowances, £ 50; Both courts are in the Aberdare District of Foresters, the secretary of which is Brother James Phillips, Pleas- ant View. The total funds of the courts in the whole district amount to £ 10,954. They paid out during 1909 zCl,250 in sick pay, and 255 funeral allowance. Saturday s proceedings commenced with a monstre joint demonstration of the two courts. About 60 young girls and boys who are members of the Duffryn Cynon Juveniles Court, attended the pro- cession, which paraded the principal streets. The District Chief Ranger (Bro. W. Harding, Trecynon) was absent owing to illness, as was also Bro. John James Rees, secretary of Court Bailey. The following officers were presentDistrict Sub-Chief Ranger Dd. Rees Jones, Past District Chief Rangers Edwards Howells and Fred Griffin; Brethren Jas. Phillips, dictnct secretary; E, W. Owen and Thos.

Jones, secretary of Duffryn Cynon and Victoria (female) Courts; Chief Ranger John Palmer, Sub- Chief Ranger Thomas Price; George Croker, treasurer; J. P. Thomas, E. Howells, Tom Parfitt, and Thos. Lewis, Court trustees. Each one wore his regal- ia of office, while the members wore badges. Selections were given by the Aberaman Silver Band, under the con- ductorship of Mr. Robert S. Howells (Ap Gwynalaw). When the Griffin Inn was reached, a splendid banquet was held, at which a company of 180 were entertained, Host and Hostess Howells catering. At the subsequent convivial meeting the chair was taken by Councillor and Bro. Wm. Thomas, solicitor, ex-High Con- stable of Aberdare. In his opening ad- dress he remarked that he was proud of being a. member of the Duffryn Cynon Court, and was pleased with the success of their joint function that day. His subsequent address dwelt upon ffThe superiority of Friendly Societies over the Workmen's Compensation Act." Bro. John Phillips gave an overture on the pianoforte, and songs were contributed Toy Brethren Rees James, J. G. Jones, D. Price Howells, Geo. Phillips, Dd. Wm. Griffiths, and Councillor D. Jackson Thomas Bros. James Phillips and E. W. Owen, and Bro. Griffen, secretary of Courts Robin Hood and Royal Albert, Aberdare, spoke. After Councillor W. Thomas' departure, Bro. Dd. R.

To-Day's Great MarathonI Race…
To-Day's Great Marathon Race at Aberdare. Immense interest is being manifested in to-day's great Marathon Race held in connection with the Aberdare Empire, and which is promoted by Mr. Arthur Norton, the popular manager, on behalf of Mr. Victor Rowe, managing director of the Aberdare Empire Ltd. The com- petitors hail from all parts of South Wales and Monmouthshire, and include working men and boys, cyclists, foot- ballers, and members of Harriers dub. A large number of candidates for posses- sion of the various trophies have been diligently training on our high roads. Our local fruiterers have been doing a splendid trade in bananas, for this fruit is considered a good diet for training pur- poses. Our bakers have sold a large quantity of black or rye bread during the past few weeks, whilst our egg merchants had to increase their supply of late. The prizes, viz., two silver cups and a gold centre medal are valuable and substantial ones. From 26 to 30 competitors had en- tered on Monday evening last. No doubt this number has been augmented since. The sporting element at Aberaman has evinced considerable interest in the pro- ceedings, and we understand that over a dozen runners will travel to the Empire in a brake. The proprietors of the Gym- nasium at the Heathcock Hotel have given their rooms for the competitors to diess in. Hundreds of cyclist and several cars will accompany the runners through- out the distance, and several gentlemen will carry pick-me-ups for the com- petitors. Arrangements have been made to render clear the roads covering the run. Members of the police force will give their services towards keeping the huge crowds back. No doubt there will be thousands of spectators lining the roads. The cyclists and others from Pen- rbiwceiber will join the runners at the Lee Hotel, Penrhiwceiber, and every assistance will be given to enable the competitors to reach their goal at the Empire with ease. The prizes will be presented by Mr. Wm. Thomas, solicitor, ar the second performance this evening.

Death of Col.-Sergt. Alder
Death of Col.-Sergt. Alder FULL MILITARY FUNERAL AT THE t MOUNT. The death of Sergt. Alder, Alexandra- street, Mountain Ash, took place under tragically sudden circumstances, and came as a shock to his family and general public alike. He was in his usual health on Monday, the 12th inst., in fact had been to a meeting at the Conservative Club in the evening, and was taken ill returning home. He asked his friend, P.C. Barnes, to assist him to his house; but expired in the P.C.'s arms almost before any assistance could arrive. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, of the Cresselly Arms, brought out stimulants and cushions, but all was of no avail. The deceased leaves a widow, four sons and one daughter to mourn their loss. THE INQUEST. Mr. R. J. Rhys (district coroner) held an inquiry last Thursday morning at the Mountain Ash Police Station. Mr. A. E. Alder identified, and stated his father was 57 years of age. He had been subjected to similar attacks of hemorrhage during the past two years. P.C. Barnes deposed he was on duty on the night in question and saw deceased staggering slightly. He then heard his name called, and immediately rushed to him and found he was bleeding freely from the mouth and nose. He assisted him along the road, but near the Cres- selly Inn he collapsed, and in the course of a couple of minutes he expired. With assistance he removed him on the stretcher home, and sent for Dr. E. P. Evans. Dr. E. P. Evans stated he was called to the house at about 10 p.m., but found de- ceased had died some little time prev- iously. Death was due, in his opinion, to hemorrhage of the lungs. The jury returned a verdict ot JJeath from natural causes." A SHORT HISTORY OF THE' SERGEANT'S LIFE. A short history of the deceased Sergeant will be welcomed by many of his friends and comrades. It is the history of a life full of event and stirring incident, and more particularly associated with the roll of the drum." He first saw the light in '52 in the little village of Ducklington, Oxfordshire. No doubt the stirring times of his youth, including the Crimean war of '54 and '55, and later of the Indian Mutiny, left an impression on his mind never to be effaced. He joined the colours in '71, a year in itself memorable for the Franco-German War, and was at- tached to 4th Regiment, now the Royal Lancaster. The year '75 saw him pro- moted Corporal, and six years later he was transferred with promotion to Sergt. to the Welsh Regiment. He served abroad in many parts of the world from September '74 until December '89, when he was further promoted to Col.-Sergt., and was then appointed Instructor to the Mountain Ash Detachment 3rd V.B. Bat- talion The Welsh Regiment on New Year's Day, 1890. He served in this capacity with honour and dignity for 13 years, retiring with a pension in Novem- ber, 1903, after giving 32 years and 9 months of his life to the colours. He was then employed by Messrs. Nixon s Col- liery Co. in the Waggon Shop at the Navigation Colliery, and continued in that situation till the day of his death. He was an ardent Conservative in poli- tics. He was of the militant school, and fearlessly spoke up for that cause in spite of overwhelming opposition. He was a member of the Conservative Club from its inception, and for many years sat on the committee of that institution. Fired with the political cause he had lately joined Mr. Littlejohn's Pontypridd Class for the purpose of improving his public speaking, but—his voice is stilled and his place will know him no more. As he lived, so he died, in harness, his •grave surrounded by the bearers ot Arms, and his last good-bye the crack or lone rifle and the call of the bugle. THE FUNERAL. An imposing1 funeral (full military) was given the mortal remains of bergt Alder last Saturday afternoon at Maes- vrarian Cemetery. The Mountain Ash detachment of Territorials, almost at full strength, assembled at the Drill Hall prior to marching to the house. Ihe fol- lowing officers were present: Col. Morgan Morgan (commanding), Captain Fred Grav, Captain Gwilym Arnold Evans, Lieut. David Morgan, Lieut. Reginald Dowdeswell, Lieut. Arnold Evans, and Lieut. Windsor Prichard Evans. At the house, the Rev. J. Sinnett Jones,, M.A., conducted a short service. The spectacle presented was most brilliant as the funeral cortege moved slowly down the hill to the accompaniment of the stately H Dead March" from "Saul" played by the Mountain Ash Volunteer Band, under the direction of Mr. W. Green- wood. The route was thickly lined with spectators, and the scene was the deceased earnestly desired when his turn came to be conveyed to hi^iast resting place." Among the Teiritona s were seen three old friends and com- rades in arms," Col.-Sergt. Tom Davies, -Col.-Sergt. T. G. Chivers, and Sergt. Alf. Pardoe, all of whom had donned the colours as a last token of respect to a pal. The Vicar of Mountain Ash conducted the service at the graveside, and the whole assembly united in sing- in"' "Lead, kindly light to the tune Sandon." Around the grave stood a large number of the members of the Con- servative Clubs of Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber, wearing on their arms white favours. A firing party consisting of 12 men, with Sergt. J. C. Bluett and Corporal E. T. tfowells m charge, fired 3 vollevs over the grave, this being fol- lowed by The Last Post sounded by Buglers Hodges and McGregci. chief mourners were: —Mi. A. E. AKier, son; Petty Officer W. J.

Suitable recognition as tribute to his memory was made by the Mountain Ash Conservative Club. the Penrhiwceiber Conservative Club, and Mr. J. Littlej ohn's class (Pontypridd).

Aberdare's Thanks.
Aberdare's Thanks. Aberdare's thanks are due to the many local residents who speak out unreservedly on matters of great moment to Aberdare. The outspoken Hirwain statement we are able to give to-day will echo the experiences of many here in Aberdare. On and off, for many years," says Mrs S. A. Jones, of 3a, Bethel-place, Hirwain, near Aberdare, I suffered from kidney troubles I had cruel pains in the small of my back, and when I knelt at my work, or did any stooping about, I could hardly get upright again. My legs and ankles used to swell a great deai, and sometimes I could scarcely stand. 1 found relief in Doan's backache kidney pills; they did me good almost from the first, and now I feel lit e a different woman The pains have left me, and I have more energy-in fact, I feel better in all ways, thanks to Doan's pills. (Signed), Sarah Ann Jones." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine- pence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster- McClellan Co., 8, Wells street, Oxford street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs. Jones had.
Cwmdare Notes.
Cwmdare Notes. BY uHYPNOS." That Cwmdarians are naturally proud of the three heroes who are shortly to be decorated with Albert medals, goes with- out saying. Mr. H. H. Evans, manager of Bwllfa Collieries, and one of the hon- cured three, is recognised among his workmen as the most daring and plucky of men in the hour and on the scene of -danger. Congratulations to him, Mr. Protheroe, and Mr. Gomer Jones. P.C. Bendall looked well last week when in full uniform he rode on his prancing steed to the inspection at Aberdare. Is it true that a certain family in Holford-terrace always leave their front door open in the evening, simply to show the glass door inside? I say, boys, the lurid slang that is used on the football field is horrid. Better language is expected from Cwmdare lads. No, Hypnos is not asleep, although his name suggests it. He has got his eye Oil They tell me that Cwmdare Football Team is likely to make a mark this year. They have signed on a few ex-Windsors. The Sunday evening comedians are still at it. If they don't stop it their names will appear next time. Wrestling seems to have caught on in Cwmdare. Lemm is not in it, so they say. > Don't hear much talk of the Male Voice Party. Has the weather affected them too?

Aberaman to Llanharran A PLEASURE PARTY'S PICNIC. Shwd wyt ti'n clywad dy hunan y bora ma, Tomos P U Da iawn, wir, William; shwd wyt ti • LY]! y Pink, machan i.

Bydda i'n barod nawr mewn haner awr." Thus the conversation was carried on at 5.30 a.m. on Monday morning last be- tween two members of "The Old Bull and Bush Holiday Club which meets at the Swan Hotel, Aberaman. It had been settled beforehand that this was to be a day of merriment among the "Boys of the Old Brigade," and right royally had the preparations been made for the event. "Mum s the word" was the policy adopted by the club members towards all outsiders, and this policy found ex- pression in the trite password, "Taw pia hi, Shoni," which was rigidly observed by every individual concerned. The start of the journey took place shortly after 8.0 a.m., but not before "mine host" of the Swan had provided the company with an illimitable supply of sandwiches and a couple of boxes of choice cigars. The duly appointed offi- cials of the outing took their places in the brake as follows:—Chairman, Mr. T. Richards, who had a stool to occupy in- stead of a chair; accompanist (on the mouth organ, concertina, accordeon, Jews' harp, and several other instru- ments), Mr. H. Berrett; footman, Mr. John Williams, who did not forget to bring the scotch" and bar-hook with him; soloist, Mr. T. Elton, who would outrival Caruso or Ben Davies in the capacity of lung power; general enter- tainer and reporter (except when he was asleep), Mr. W. Evans;' other providers of amusement—Mr. J. Rees, champion ring player; Mr. S. Owen, champion singer of one tune which has been well known during the last 40 years; Mr. Geo. Renfrey, who was continually affected by the exuberance of his own verbosity; Mr Wm. Abel, whose first appearance this was as a comic singer, direct from the London music halls; and the veteran Mr. Wm. Edmunds, who is unbeatable in his own little sphere of musical pro- duction. Everything went serene during the on- ward journey, and the only fear of mis- hap occurringi when near Cilfynydd. A steep hill was encountered, but through the prompt action of one of the company in calling out, "Dod y bar-hook 'na lan, Shoni," the situation was saved. Off a ni, a tynweh wrth y cigars, bovs," was the remark then made by the chairman, and each one enjoyed the songs and Welsh ditties that were rendered. Strike the iron while it's hot" by Mr. T. Elton was a particular favourite, the accompaniment and chorus coming in in fine style. When their destination was reached, a comfortable hotel was selected as headquarters, and each one made him- self quite at home. The member with a partiality for ring-plaving soon asserted himself thus: Fe warai 'i rings a rhyw- un round i'r board," and away they played in innocent mood for many hours. In the meantime a few of the company were disporting themselves on the green behind the house, and indulged in con- siderable swank" by casting off the old clay pipes in favour of the swell cigars. Mr S. Owen obliged the company with a song, entitled, "Jack and Jill," which was vociferously cheered, but as he had left his music manuscript book at home he could not favour them with an encore. By this time a hue and cry was raised because the 'reporter' was miss- ing, and it was feared the chronicles of the outing would be lost. After search- ing for a while, someone discovered William safely ensconced in a corner, enjoying a snug little snooze. Mae'r hen Will druan wedi gorfod cysgu was the sage remark proffered by his bosom pal, "ond fe gaiff 'e ddihuno pan dech- reuiff y concertina wara." So William had to cut his nap short, though he woke up in time to hear J. Rees sing Put me amongst the girls." They knew quite well there were no she-males about, otherwise they would have changed their tune. G. Henfrey, who might ap- propriately be termed on general occa- sions "The dumb man from Manches- ter," was now gettin- voluble, and it was impossible to keep him quiet. A further selection, entitled, I'm a man you don't meet every day," contributed by Mr. Wm. Edmunds, roused the company to an enthusiastic pitch, which wa6 tullv sustained while Evans sang Hob y deri dando," and W. Abel rendered Two little girls in blue." The titbit of the programme, however, consisted of the finale by Messrs. John Williams and G. Henfrey, in the form of a complicated classical dance. They earned the lasting gratitude of each one for such a splen- did performance. The home journey came off all right, each one arriving safe and sound, and the only after-effect was just a little of "that tired feeling" on the Tuesday morning. ONLOOKER.
Pars en Passant.
Pars en Passant. BY "OUVRIER." The industrial world seems to be in a great turmoil. There is a great unrest among the workers in most of our great industries—colliers, railwaymen, dockers, bakers, chain makers, boilermakers, etc. The miners of South Wales are, it re- ports be true, on the eve of a great move. Whether the move will be for better or worse, depends on the unity among the miners. If the men intend to do some- thing great, let it be done in a constitu- tional way. I hope, however, that peace- ful methods will be adopted. I don't for one moment mean peace at any price, but peace with honour and justice. Justice to all. Holiday-making is now over, and I suppose that even my political friends are ready for work. After a long respite I daresay the Young Liberals will again become active. Could one of the friends inform me when the van is coniing, to Aberdare ? The delegates at the Trades Union Congress discussed the Osborne judg- ment at great length, and some of the delegates were in favour of employing any means to reverse the Osborne judg- ment. A few of the delegates went as far as to say that the Labour Members ought to be prepared to turn out the Govern- ment if necessary. What advantage would the Labour Party gain if they were tc. be the means of turning out the Liber- al Government and replace it by a Con- servative one? The remarks of Mr. D. J. Shackleton, M.P., are worthy of consideration The Labour Party's duty was to win the Government to their side. The Labour Exchanges had the full consideration of the delegates, and sever- al reforms were proposed by the dele- gates as to the way the exchanges should be carried out, and these I take it will be forwarded to the Government.
