Treorchy. We deeply regret to chronicle the death of Mr. Robert Roberts, who passed away at his residence, 5, Glyncoli Road, on Saturday, after some months' illness. Deceased one of the oldest black- smiths at the Abergorchy Colliery, and was held Jis nigh esteem. At the last weekly meeting of the Tre- orchy Literary Society, the question of the rormation of an Esperanto Circle was considered. Mr. R. C. Austin presided. Mr. W. H. Owen (Ynyswen Schools) opened the discussion, and was followed "i Mr. J. Davies-Evans, who expressed a fear that Esperanto, if adopted univer- sally, would supplant national languages It was decided to form an Esperanto Circle, to "be continued in the form of a summer session of the Society. The death occurred on Friday evening last of Mr. David Richards, 25, Dumfries Street, at an advanced age. Deceased, who leaves a daughter and son to mourn his loss, was one of the oldest inhabitants of the locality, and had been a fireman at the Ahergorchy Collieries for many years. The funeral took place on Wed- nesday, the Rev. T. Tissington (vicar of Cwmparc) 'officiating. The mission meetings conducted by Miss Maggie Davies, Coedllai, Flintshire, at Ainon Chapel, last week, were eminent!; i ce&sful, the edifice being packed each meeting. On Sunday even- ing, an tit meeting was held in Chapel S^ On Sunday last, the Ramah Sunday School scholars held anniversary services. At the morning service, presided over by Mr. WiHia.m Evans (Bethania CottagelÎ, Mr. W ro. John Price rgad an excellent paper on Life of the Holy Spirit." The afternoon and evening meetings were re- spectively presided over by Mr. David Hughes and Mr. David Jones, and an appreciative programme of solos and reci- tations was contributed. We have pleasure in noting that Messrs. James Beynon and Idris Thomas have been successful in securing First Class Certificates in Pitman's Shorthand.

Pentre The special visit of Colonel Lawley to Pentre was naturally the occasion of happy meetings and warm reception, because the Colonel was commander in this district about twenty years ago. Meanwhile, lie has travelled far and wide in the company of General Booth, so that a return visit to Pentre was a time for rejoicing, since there are still a few of the old corps still alive. The meetings on Sunday and Monday were enthusiastic and sincere. On Sunday afternoon, the Colonel dwelt upon his travels, recount- ing his experiences in various lands, which elicited the "Amens" and "Hallelujahs" of the audience. The meeting on Mon- day evening was a very crowded one, the Army Corps of the Valley uniting for the occasion. Our talented little reciter, Miss Gwladys May Davies, is extending the sphere of her operations, and thereby gaining still greater popularity. Last week she ap- peared at 2, concert in Pengam, her quota .of recitations being three but after each appearance on the stage she was voci- ferously encored. The remaining vocal artistes from Treorchy also acquitted themselves with credit.

Nantymoel. Death.—We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Thomas, wife of Mr. Evan Thomas, painter and decorator, Bristol House, Nantymoel, who passed away on Saturday morning, after a brief illness of only a week's duration, at the age of 1 44 years. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the Rev. J. T. Davies (Dinam) officiating at the house and graveside. Organ R-ecital.-A grand organ recital was held at Gilead (C.M.) Chapel, inanty- moel, on Wednesday last. The artistes were:—Organist, Mr. J. T. Jones, Tre- orchy soprano, Miss Pattie Howells; tenor, Mr. David Thomas, Pontycymmer; bass, Mr. Thomas Williams. Blaengarw, elocutionist. Miss E. M. Mathias. Mr. Jones manipulated the organ in such a brilliant manner as to call forth deafen- ing cheers from the audience. The rest of the artistes acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Jubilee Services i-i Sunday and Mon- day last, Saron (W.B.) Church held its Jubilee services, when the Revs. E. Cefni Jones, Blaenau Festiniog; W. Cynog Williams, Aberdare; and J. B. Jones, Dowlais, preached eloquent sermons to crowded congregations. The singing, which was a feature of the services, was under the able leadership of Mr. David Bowen, while Miss Rachel Thomas pre- sided at the organ, Bye-Election.—On Thursday evening, at the Workmen's Hall, Nantymoel, County Councillor Dr. D. J. Thomas ren- dered an account of his stewardship on the Glamorgan County Council for the past three years. A vote of thanks for his past services was unanimously passed, and his candidature was again endorsed by the meeting. The Rev. D. Michael Evans presided. Musical Success.—Miss Dora Williams, daughter of Mr. E:. Williams, school- master, Wyndham Schools, Nantymoel, successfully passed the Pianoforte Exami- nation recently held at Cardiff in the Lower Division of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music. Miss Williams was prepared for the examination by Prof. William Leyshon, Bridgend.

Ton. Under the saddest circumstances, Mary Olwen Roberts, the eight-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, Maindy Road, passed away on Saturday morning at the Cardiff Infirmary. The little one, who had until Monday, the 11th inst., appeared in good health, was taken sud- denly ill, and Dr. E. Hughes advised her removal to the Cardiff Infirmary to undergo an operation for appendicitis. Acting upon the doctor's advice, the little girl was taken to the Infirmary on the following Wednesday, where she was operated upon. No hope, however, was held out for her recovery, and she suc- cumbed early on Sunday morning. What makes her sudden demise more pathetic is the fact that her father, Mr. Roberts, is at present endeavouring to recover his lost health at a sanatorium. The deepest sympathy is felt with the bereaved parents. The funeral took place on Thursday. At the Ton Institute, on the 16th inst., a meeting in connection with the Maindy Cricket Club was held. Mr. Tom Jones presided over a good attendance. Last season, the team played on the Ynys Park, and their efforts were crowned with success. Mr. Arthur Rosser was un- animously re-elected captain for the coming season; Mr. Tom Jones, trea- surer; and Mr. Danny Williams, secre- tary. A few new players were also en- rolled. The club this season intends entering the Second Division of the Rhondda League.

Treherbert. The yearly preaching services of Taber- nacle Chapel, Blaenrhondda, were held at Tabernacle on Saturday, Sunday and Monday last. The special preachers were the Revs. Rowland Hughes, B.D., Tylors- town, and H. T. Jacob, Carmarthen. Large congregations attended the ser- vices. Public meetings were held in various parts of the locality last week by County Councillor Enoch Davies, J.P., who gave an exhaustive account of his stewardship as a member of the Glamorgan County Council for Ward 1. Mr. R. T. Jones (vice-president of the Treherbert Cricket Club) will present a cricket bat to the player who has the best batting average by the end of the season. The cricket season will open next week. On Saturday next, the Tre- herbert players will indulge in a practice. Another local team which promises to run strong this season is the Treherbert Wesleyan C.C. The first match of the Treherbert C.C. will be against this local team.

Edwards says that a herring is beef Nefyn in Wales, and a Glasgow magistrate" in England. Pastwn onnen is Tipperary lawyer." 7'; 7: Knowledge of Two Languages. The position of Welsh Nationalists of to-day with regard to language know- ledge is like unto that of the Esperafitists, who maintain, in practice, however, that a knowledge of two languages is of immense value. Esperanto bids fair to become an international language. If it ever achieves this consummation, it will give to many, who would otherwise be monolinguists, the key to a store of literature and also afford a valuable mental training. Welsh educationists maintain, and rightly so, that a knowledge of two lan- guages is a stepping stone to success, either in commerce, or in learning. Wales, prior to the time she became—only comparatively so—captured many of the high positions in the Empire, but from the day she became bilingual has made rapid and mighty strides. To-day, Welsh men occupy some of the high offices that the Empire has at its disposal. Upon a like plea, that possessing two languages sharpens the wits of the youth, is a study of Esperanto to be commended. It is pleasing to find that the Treorchy Literary and Debating Society has re- solved to form a circle to study Esperanto. The initial step was taken at an address given by Mr. W. EL Davies, headmaster of Cwmparc Schools, on the Esperanto language. We commend the practice, and humbly suggest that a similar circle might be formed to study the language and literature of Walia Wen." ih- "The Grail (Y Greal). "The Grail is the bilingual quar- terly magazine of the Calvinistic Metho- dist Theological College, Aberysiwyth. It is a high-class paper, and many of the contributions are of an academical char- acter. Some of the articles deserve a thoughtful and earnest consideration. The articles are not confined to the discussion of religious and theological subjects, but include historical and literary studies. One of the weightiest papers is that from the pen of Professor Anwyl upon the. relationship between the Welsh Uni- versity and theology. The learned pro- fessor is an authority upon the activities of the Celtic mind, and has brought his extensive knowledge to bear upon the capacity of the Welshman to undertake intricate theological problems. At the outset of his article, he con- gratulates the Welsh University upon the successful nature of the work of the past fifteen years. The standard of know- ledge, in spite of the value it enjoyed higherto, is higher to-day, in certain branches, than ever. The success of students who have read for the B.D. examination has nroved that the Welsh- man, under proper teachers, is able to reach a height undreamt of. The Welsh nationalist is often inclined to believe that the Welsh mind labours under an innate weakness, but the truth is, says the professor, that the Welsh mind is as able to obtain and retain knowledge as any other mind in any other civilised land. One thing only is necessary to make the Welshman a leader in religious thought, and that is a power to assimi- late his religious experience with his theological learning. A note of warning is, however, sounded; amassing know- ledge is a secondary matter. That of training the mind is the primary factor. Professor Anwyl advocates the follow- ing points: —(1) A more thorough study of Hebrew (2) a greater attention being given to the opinions of the philosophical and religious opinions of the day; (3) that theological students should acquire a knowledge of certain modern languages, in order to acquaint themselves with the leading thoughts of Europe; (4) that they should study Welsh movements (5) that they should contribute to Welsh magazines; and (6) it is not enough to acquire knowledge as such, but should also excel in the art of imparting know- ledge. Welshmen in the Days of the Tudors. Professor Ifor Williams, in the present number of The Grail," does not spare English critics who scoff at the success which follow Welshmen nowadays, in the sphere of politics and in the service of the State. One could fancy," says he, that no Welshman, until the present age, was ever brave enough to cross Offa's Dyke, to win unto himself renown and fame in other lands, by competing with other nations, and that we have always remained hidden in the dark retreats of Ervri, Cader Idris, and Plinlimmon, in holes and caves, not daring to walk in the light of day to the open expanse of the world." He proves conclusively that Welshmen have ever taken their share in the destinies of the British Empire, and that in the days when she was moulding it. To take a few at random, there is Sir Roger Williams, the famous general who captained the English forces in the Netherlands, and one who won the high praises of Henry of Navarre; there is Captain William Middleton, who fought under Sir Philip Sidney; there is again Sir Hugh Middleton, the greatest engi- neer of his day; and Captain Thomas Prys, of Plas Iolyn, of Denbighshire. Other men are Pierce Griffith, who helped to fight the Armada; Sir John Price, of Brecon, who printed the first Welsh book in 1548: William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke Sir William Cecil, or Lord Burleigh; John Penry Dr. Morgan Phillips; Owen Lewis, who was a pro- fessor at D'onai College in 1501; Morys of Glynnog; and Dr. Griffith Roberts, of Milan, who printed his famous grammar in 1567. This list is sufficient to show that Welshmen were in the front in the days of the Tudors, and contri- buted to fashion our great Empire. Other important contributions to The Grail" are:—"The Self-Effacement of Christ Jesus," by Prof. J. Young Evans; "Diwinyddiaeth Calfin," by Rev. D. Jones, M.A.; A Mediaeval Visitor," by Miss Blanche Brimson, M.A. and Gwron y Mabinogion," by Mr. D. Glyn Jones. The editors are Messrs. W. Davies, B.A., ond Wyn Williams, Aber- ystwyth. -): "I fyny bo'r nod" is one of the mottoes of Cymru'r Plant." It is cer- tainly indicating the path Welsh children should follow. There is a good spread for the little ones, especially Dafydd an Gwilym a'r Adar," Llygod Gwynion Bob," "Y Fedw," Y Hwyad Bach Hyll," "Y Bohl Bach Ddoeth," and Gwalchmai a'r Marchog Gwyrdcl." Other publications to hand will receive ¡ notice next week.

Results of Infiuenza; Rheumatics and Weak Heart. A Complete Cure by DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mr. Jos.

A Gipsy's Rusp. Theft of £3 at Tonypandy. At Ystrad Police Court on Monday, Prudence Price (2t5). gipsy, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing £ 3, the property of William Henry Hopkins, haulier, 2, Brynamlwg, Tonypandy. Emily Price (22), also a gipsy, was charged with receiving iSame. knowing it to be stolen. Mary Morgan, Ton-Pentre, said she was on a visit to her niece, who kept house for Mr. Hopkins, when Prudence Price called at the house, and asked her to buy some lace. Witness refused. Defendant then asked for a glass of water, which witness went to fetch. Defendant followed her into the middle room and sat down. Margaret Ann Morgan, prosecutor's housekeeper, said that after lier aunt (last witness") answered the door, the, gipsy came in and asked her if she would buy some lace. Witness bought 12 yards, value Is., and went to a drawer, where she kept her money, and took out a small handbag in which she kept a purse containing three sovereigns, ten shillings in silver, and some odd coppers, to pay for the lace. Defendant then asked her for a glass of water, and she went to the back room to fetch it, leaving the defendant in the room by herself. When defendant had gone, she missed the three sovereigns from the purse. On Friday last, the defendant again called, and asked for a cup of tea. Witness invited her in and sent for the police. P.S. Evans said that he arrested Prudence Price at 2, Brynamlwg, Tony- pandy. In reply to the charge, she said, '■ I did take the money. Emily Price had half." Emily Price, who was not far from the house at. the time, when arrested, said, "She gave half to me," Prudence Price was fined £ 2 and ordered to refund the .£3. and Emily Price was discharged.

Clerks' Concert at Ponty- pridd. I The Pontypridd and Rhondda Branch of the National Union of Clerks made. its I first social movement in the form of a smoking concert at the Park Hotel, Pontypridd, on Thursday evening last. Mr. A. J. Williams (Messrs. J. Jones Puglie and D;avey), the president of the branch, occupied the chair, and in the course of an interesting address voiced his pleasure at seeing so many present at the first concert of the branch. Events of this kind would serve admirably to bring into closer touch with one another the clerks of this large district. The Union was going to be a living, breathing movement, and no man worth his salt would stand aloof from a thing that was out for so much good. The concert was voted to be one of the I best of its kind ever held in Pontypridd. Mr. Arthur G. Thomas (Ynyshir) held his listeners in rapt attention as he sang "Will o' the Wisp," "Annie Laurie," and other songs, and encores were voci- ferously called for. The young tenor, Mr. James 0. Llewellyn (Ynyshir), revealed himself as a rapidly improving singer. The Deathless Army and other songs were contributed by Mr. Llewellyn. Mr. Ben Thompson (Treherbert), a splendid descriptive vocalist who is in great demand, carried his audience with him in a wonderful rendition of Grayport Town," "Home, Sweet Home," "Always &c., and was repeatedly encored. As comedian, Mr. Matt Evans (Ynyshir) has a growing reputation, and this was con- siderably added to at Pontypridd with Down the Strand," &c., &c., and loud and long was the applause granted him. Mr. D. E. dosser (Hopkinstown) sang Thora," to such good effect that a special request was made for a repeti- tion. Prof. Lewis (Hopkinstown) admir- ably played the accompaniments. Asleep in the deep" and the Bedouin Love Song," as rendered by Mr. W. J. Gethin (Ynyshir), won unstinted applause. An- other contributor to the programme was Mr. Davies (Treherbert) with Mary of Argyle." The pianoforte playing of Mr. J. Howells (Ynyshir), the evening's accom- panist, came in for special eulogies.

Ferndale. A grand performance of the cantata, The Wreck of the Argosy," was given by Bethel United Choir on Thursday evening last, before a large audience, at the New Workmen's Hall. The following took eminent parts:—Miss Sarah B. Thomas, Miss Maggie Evans, Mr. James Rosser, Mr. David Harries, and Mr. David Jones. Mr. Noah J. Pulling, the con- ductor, deserves a word of praise for the high standard which the performance reached. The accompaniments were played by Mr. T. R. Davies, assisted by an efficient orchestra under the leader- ship of Mr. W. Davies. (Hodges). The secretarial duties were ably carried, out by Messrs. Eliac, and Tippins. The pro- ceeds were in aid of Bethel Church fund. This week it is our sad duty to record the death of Mrs. Ann Williams, of 37, Club Row, Blaenllechau. who passed away on Monday morning, the 11th inst., at the advanced age of 91. Deceased had enjoyed good health up to the last six months, and was able to go about. She was born at Llwynperdid Farm, where I she lived for many years. From there her husband emigrated to Salt Lake City, where he died a month later from sun- stroke. The funeral took place on Thurs- day last and was largely attended, the remains being interred at the Llanwonno Cemetery, amidst manifestations of sym- pathy and regret. The chief mourners were:—Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Williams (son-in-law and daughter); Mr. David Williams, Gurnos Farm, Merthyr (son- in-law) Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas, Thomas John and Evan David Williams, and Mr. and Mrs. Sydney H. Davies (grandchildren) Mr. David Row- lands, Llwynperdid, and Mr. Loughor, Ynyshir (nephews); Masters Thomas David ancl Leonard Evans (great-grand- children);, Mr. Gwilym Evans, Tony- pandy Mr. Moses Powell and Mr. D. Edwards, Penygraig; Mrs. Lewis, The Twyn," Caerphilly: Miss Polly Rowlands, Caerphilly, and others. The Rev. Thos. Humphreys officiated at the house, and the Vicar of Llanwonno at the graveside. The anniversary services in connection with the Temple (C.M.) were held on Sun- day, 10th inst., when Revs. W. T. Phillips, B.A., B.D., Jesus College, Oxford, and LI. Baines Williams, late pastor of the church, and now of Trevecca, occupied the pulpit, and delivered excellent addresses to large and appreciative audiences, A collection was made towards the building fund. Ferndale seems to be very full with touring clubs at present. We all know that three leagues make a mile, but how many leagues does it require to make a town? We have in the place not less than six leagues, viz., Cricket," "Football," "Casey Boys," "Modern Man," "Budget Boys,'5 and the Teddy Bear," but the foremost of all these is the Casey Court League."

only wish that the results will justify their performance. Thanks to the Cricket Club for allow- ing football to be played on the Darran Grounds, and although the field has had some rough wear, the cricketers, with the assistance of footballers, have sufficient funds to start laying out their pitch. This will be good news to the" bat and wickets" enthusiasts. Mr. F. LI. Jacob, M.E. (sub-agent to the collieries), one of the vice-presidents, deserves the thanks of all for kindly coming to their assist- ance during the troublesome times. The Ferndale first eleven were last year runners-up for the championship of the Glamorgan League., and this year they intend making a bold bid for the honour they achieved two years ago, when they were successful in gaining the shield and medals. We also beg to congratulate the football section upon being the runners- up of the Pontypridd and Rhondda League, and also the cup winners of the knock-out competition, which was played at Ynysybwl on Monday against Cilfynydd (the champions of the League), and thus breaking their opponents' record for the first time for four seasons. On Friday, the 8th inst., a meeting; was. held at the Tabernacle Vestry, Ferndale, to form a branch of the National League of Young Liberals. Mr. Horatio A. Phillips (solicitor) presided over a large and enthusiastic audience. During the evening, eloquent and stimulating speeches were delivered by the chairman, and Messrs. S. H. Williams, J. Probert Evans, John Richards, and Morris Morris. All emphasised the urgent need of such an organisation in view of the recent develop- ment of the political situation, and ad- vised the prosecution of a vigorous cam- paign against the insidious attack of the, Socialists upon individual liberty on the one hand, and against the tyranny and oppression of the lordly inmates of the House of Peers, on the other. It was felt that now Liberalism was unorganised in the Rhondda, the natural sequel of the signing of the Labour Party' consti- tution by Mabon, and a strong hope was entertained that a virile and useful body of stalwarts will soon be in the field even before the formal opening of the battle. It was decided to open an active cam- paign in the immediate future, and there are strong reasons for anticipating a visit from Mr. Masterman, M.P., a promising member of the Government. and Mr. Edgar Jones, M.A., M.P. The following, officers were elected for the current year: —President, County Councillor Thomas Samuel; vice-president, Mr. Horatio A,. Phillips (solicitor); treasurer, Mr. J. Probert Evans; hon. secretary, Mr. W. D. Thomas; committee, Rev. T. Bryn Thomas, Messrs. John Richards, W. Y. Neish, Thomas Williams, Morris Morris, John Rathbone, Dan Thomas, S. H. WI1.. liams, and Sidney Reea.

CADUM Cures Rinsworm tMrs. Louisa Boughton 12, Vernon Road, Luton, says About ten weeks ago, my son, Arthur, 14, was sent home from school on sc- count of ringworm. I first applied old- fashioned remedies, but the ringworm re- mained virulent, and the boy's head became very sore. I covered the place with caustic, but though this turned it black, it did not drive the ringworm out of the skin. The sore continued to grow, and I had to consult a doctor. Various remedies were afterwards applied, but nothing seemed able to remove the trouble. At last I ap- plied Cadum. The effect of Cadum was quick and astonishing. In four davs Cadum removed the ringworm finally, killed it, and made it rub off. Within a week the boy was quite clean again, a new skin growing, and he was able to return to school. The quickness and completeness ot the cure by Cadum showed it to be an extraordinary cure for ringworm." Cadum is a new medical discovery that quickly cures all skin troubles, including eczema,* psoriasis, ringworm, scaly skin rash, pimples, sores, eruptions, chafings acne, etc. It stops the itching at once, and begins healing vvifj the first application.

Ever since he commenced i Success of Master W. Orlando Jones, Treherbert. The striking and continued success of Master W. Orlando Jones, son of Coun- cillor D. R. Jones, Treherbert, deserves special praise. Ever since he commenced to climb the educational ladder, each rung has been reached with an assurance of future success. ■ Winning an entrance scholarship from the Treherbert Higher Elementary Centre, he passed through the various forms of the Porth County School, and obtained his Junior Certificate of the Central Welsh Board in 1908. This was signally marked with five distinctions. In 1909, he secured a double success, when he passed the Welsh Matriculation in the First Division, and the Senior Certifi- cate of the Central Welsh Board. Steadily pursuing his course, lie has received the good news that lie has passed his Oxford Local Senior with Second Class Honours and distinction in draw- ing (heading the list. for the whole country in this subject) and French (the only distinction in South Wales). He proceeds to Manchester University in September next to study for his degree, intending to graduate in technical "sub- jects. Not only is lie satisfied with his scholastic studies, but he adds to these a knowledge of music and painting. He has achieved brilliant work in these branches. He will adopt architecture as a profession, and with continued dili- gence lie will make a brilliant son of Young Wales.
