WHAT CONSTITUTES A LADY. PAPER BEFORE A LOCAL DEBATING CLASS. She need not be rich or beautiful. She should be gentle, sympathetic, and, above all, sincere. She should not flatter for the sake of pleasing. Pride should be unknown to her. Modesty and neatness should distinguish her. She should be retiring, preferring to lister) rather than to speak; always ready to help those around her; neither haughty, unkind, or overbearing. We must not forget that there are true ladies amongst the lower classes, and not a day passes but that women of no not( do great deeds, speak great words, and suffer noble sorrows. This was the admirable defini- tion of a lady given by Miss Hiley, Barry- road, in the course of a paper which she read before a meeting of Bethel Presbyterian Mutual Improvement Society en Monday evening last, presided over by the Rev J. L. Jenkins, pastor. The discussion that ensued was very interesting, the injunction in the paper about listening rather than speaking being strictly followed by the ladies present, none of whom could, upon any protest, be induced to speak upon the subject. All the male persons present took part in the dis cussion, consequently the proverbial "woman's tongue" can no longer be attributed to the ladies of Bethel.

TT A NCE> BAKU 1 JMix n THE DIFFICULTY OF GETTING A QUORUM. On Monday evening last the Finance Com- mittee of the Barry District Council held its monthly meeting at the Clerk's Office, Holton- road, Barry Dock, Councillor J. H. Jose, J.P., presiding. The only other member present was Mr E. B. Smith-Jones. This was an adjourned meeting from Friday evening, and again great trouble was experienced in getting the members together. A deputation, consisting of Messrs Kirby, Howclls, Oliver, Kilby, and others attended with reference to the private improvement rates they pay owners ars of property i'1 Victoria-road, Barry. The deputation alleged that they paid much in excess of what was due from them, and their case was referred to the next niteting of the District Council. The Clerk to the Burial Board's monthly itatement showed that £10 17" 6d had been received in fees from purchased freeholds, £ 12 lis (jd as interment fees and £ 22s 8s as gravodigger's fees; total, X46 gs. The month's bills were dealt with, and the majority of them passed for payment. 1

BARRY DISTRICT NURSING ASSO- CIATION. HELP FROM THE BARRY COMPANY'S EMPLOYEES. On Sunday afternoon a representative meet- ing of the Barry Company's employess was held in the Romilly Hall, Barry, for the purpose of organising a committee which would manage a weekly levy to be made on the employees of the Barry Company, employed in the district, who agreed to contribute the sum of one penny per week towards the support of the Barry District Nursing Association, which, it is hardly neces- sary to state, is an institution which is estab- lished for the benefit of the working man, when in time of sickness he may receive the assistance of trained nurses. 11 r J. Blainey prof-Lipd, and Major-General Lap, the treasurer of the Asso- ciation, also attended. Mr J. Arthur Hughes, the hon. secretary to the Institution, was unable to attend through family bereavement. General Lee gave an account of the working of the Association and it pre grt-sa as treasurer during the twelve months. He had dealt with £1,040 10.4 5d, which suin had been contributed from the following sources :— £ a. d. Ledy Windsor's Fund 276 0 0 Entertainments. 53 4 8 Offertcries (from Barry and Dinas Powis), 15 5 1 Workingmen's contributions 175 3 9i Money boxes 10 4 7 Institutes. 5 15 0 Jubilee Fund 29 12 0 Furniture Fund. 94 18 0 Special donntions 57 2 1 Barry District Council (Accident Ward 399 19 4 Cardiff Union 20 0 0 Hamadryad Hospital (Cardiff) 100 0 0 Other sources 5 15 0 Subscriptions 297 10 10 -I Total. 1540 10 5 It would be seen from this that the working I ad subscribed about one-seventh of the men ghe contributiens wp- whole income. ~'e prin- "N n v cipally levies of one pen-, week madeat the engineering works at the docks, and also from several bodies of workmen in the town. General Lee explained. that the Nursing Home in Woodland-road had cost about £1,909, only S817 of which had been subscribed by the public. Their expenditure he would estimate at about X730 a year, and towards that amount he could only rely, at the outside, on about S350. The remainder had to be made up from workmeu's subscriptions. If the men employed by the Barry Railway Company could be per- suaded to contribute X150 a year he believed he could guarantee the rest by asking the assis- tance of a few of the rich men at the docks. Councillor W. Paterson and Mr J. Spargo also spokt-, Hnd supported the scheme suggested. Subsequently the following workmen were elected a committee of management:—Messrs Morgan Nicholas, I.ester, Sbarmar, Lock, J. Bishop, H. Kirby, D. Morgan, A. L-wis, E. J^nkin*, J. Alt, rd, Kii g, J. Blainey, A. Williams, and W. Thomas, with Messrs John M' rgan and A. Sawyer am, hon. sei retary and treasi<r< r resl ectively. The com. mittee represent the different departments of the barry Company.

BARRY COMPANY'S FINANCES. HOW EXPENDITURE HAS GROWN. WHY REVENUE WILL DECREASE. I- RAISING THE RATES. Interest in the financial position and prospects of the Barry Railway Company is by no means confined to those who are shareholders or occa- sionally deal in the securities of the company. There are considerations that rouse the atten- tion of a wider circle, such as how far this company will follow the financial course of local predecessors, how far the policy of the last few years differs from that of the early and more prosperous days, how far a remarkable degree of initial success has established and maintains a method of manigetnei-t which is unsuited to bear the etress of troublous times, and (above all) whether the shareholders will not, at their meeting to-day (Friday) raise the issue that a radical ohange of procedure has become needful. Very few persons have taken into account the relation of the Barry Company to the Vale of Glamorgan but among those few there is a disposition to question the advantage which the older enterprise has been said to be likely to derive from the newer venture. Chiefly, the continued criticism centres round the points indicated in the South Wale8 Daily News on Saturday last, especially the heavy and increasing weight of capital, as to which pertinent and searching inquiry will, if present appearances form a criterion of probability, be made to-day (Friday). "Why," it is asked, "cannot we learn from the accounts what is the actual position of the different undertakings ? What is the profit or loss npon the Commercial Dry Dock, which hns C"St £ 30,000 for the extensions and pumping a. paratus in addition to an original £ 100,000 ?" The revenue of this dry dock do's not appear separately; only "dock receipts," which cover all items of income, being given in total. "What have we got from the passenger pier, or what are we likely to get; and how much y 11 has it cost ?" Thij query is put in company with another- How much has been spent on the island railway and approaches, and what has it brought in Such are the kind of interrogatories that pre- figure a close investigation if the shareholders as a body show themselves to be as earnestly inquisitive as men on 'Change. One speaker on Friday last said he bad totalled the outlay on the new offices to be already S40,000, and the name gentleman bad some caustic remarks to make concerning the sidings at Cadoxton and the outlay incurred without (ss be said) due forecast; also the expense of pumping machi- nery for the new dock, when the timber pond was available for water supply. These are but a few of the topics of criticism and debate, but the most interesting subject of discussion was the possibility or probability of raising the rates for carrying coal. This ques- tion was rnised some years ago, and circum- stances have now changed, restricting more closely the power of the company in this respect, even if thA directors of "the freighters' line" line were disposed to venture on such an important step. The actunl rate charged varies somewhat in regard to different collieries owing to the necessity of making it in every case an equivalent of what the freighter woulti have to pav if the co <1 wer. sent down the Tuff Vale line but approximate y it may be tiken as averag- ing .430 or '44d per ton per mile. Originally, bef(,re the foolish "cut" in rates made by the old directors of the Tuff Vule, the Barry rate would have been 50d per ton and the idea now mooted is that the South Wales Companies should endeavour, by agreement, to do what has been done in Scotland—raise the rates sliu-ht.1v in "r.r ri. mt- U :ftrl T COIiJ. Under present circumstances, unless hy agreement with freighters, no increase can be made without going to the Railway Commission- ers. But, in Scotland, the freighters have agreed, so it is reported and the question asked on Friday was, Why not do the name in South Wales ?" Revenue will decrease because of the higher price for coal and lessened traffic, and, tbbrefore, Why not make the freighter pay more ?" The Hews published on Saturday as to a sub- sidence beside the deep sea lock, and a serious displacement of the lock wall, foreshadows an exppnditure far exceeding the large amount of S25,000 additional that is already set down for the current half-year, and, therefore, makes the general financial position so much the more unfavourable.

Appeal by a Local Councillor. —— ACTION IN THE HIGH COURT. The Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Righy and Vaughan Williams had before them on Mond y an appeal by inir S. Barnett from a judg- ment dt-liveied by Mr Justice Romer on the 25tli of February last year, the effect of which was to deprive the appellant of the po.seflion of a lease- hold house and shop and two freehold cottages at Aberavon. which he had purchased at an auction s le for £ 375. Isaac Jones had a reversiouary interest in the property uuder the will of hi" uncle, John Williams, and, in consideration of a debt of £ 350 due to Philip Jones, he assign, d that interest to Mary Jones, the wife of Philip, and the fister of Isaac. Subsequently, Isaac being in pecuniary difficulties, Barnett, who a as a creditor, obtained judgment against him, aud a receiver was appointed. The usual inquiries resulted in a return that Isaac was entitled to the rev. ruionary iutertst in the property which ho had previously ae-signtd to Mary Jones, and the chief clerk found upon the evidence Lefore him that there was no encum- b, ance upon it. Upon that finding the property was sold by auction, and Barnett A as declared to be the highest bidder.—Their Lordships dismissed the appeal with costs.

HEALTH OF THE BARRY DISTRICT A PROPER SMALL-POX HOSPITAL NECESSARY. SANITARY INSPECTORS' REPORTS. SALARIES OF SANITARY OFFICERS. The monthly meeting of the Health Com- mittee of the Barry District Council was held at the Clerk's Office, Holton-road, Barry Dock, on Thursday evening in last week, the members present being Councillora W. Paterson (in the chair), J. H. Jose, J.P., D. Morgan, J. L. Davies, and S. Barnett. SMALL-POX AND NOTIFICATION. The Medical Officer (Dr Neale, J.P.), in answer to Mr D. Morgan, said that it was surprising that the late small-pox cases bad not been notified much sooner. The fact was that small-pox was so rare that few medical men bad seen it, and consequently could not at once r. cognise it. Vaccination had so modified the disease that it was not recognisable.—With reference to the question raised by Councillor Evan Jones at the last meeting of the Council re the system of communication between the patient and the public, the Medical Officer stated that no such paper was known which could be disinfected. Letters between patients aud their friends could not be allowed, and the only suggestion he could think of was that the telephone should be used. Councillor Morgan Would patients be able to speak through the telephone f Medical Officer: Oh, yes. The Chairman No negligence can be attachei to the health department in the notification of this disease ? Medical officer: N one whatever. Mr J. L. Davies: Are there anr means bv which they can speak ? Medical Officer: In the case of confluent small-pox they could hardly put the tube to their mouths. With reference to the present small-pox structure, the Medical Officer said it was unsuitable for the purpose; and even if it could be removed, it was so rotten and damp as to be almost useless. The rain came in through the roof. It was not worth while having a structure which would absorb contagious matter like woodwork, and he did not think the Local Government Board would permit a wooden structure to be erected. The Chairman expressed himself as having always been averse to the removal of the present building. Had the outbreak of small- pox been more violent they would have been unable to cope with it. The Medical Officer agreed with this, and said that they were very fortunate. One woman had been attacked with the disease who had never been away from the house, to her know- ledge. Councillor Morgan said he had heard that the nursing had been ineffectual. There were in- sufficient nurses. The Medical Officer: The nursing is quite effectual. If we wanted another nurse, we would have no room to put her. Fortunately, this time the patients have all been females. The ward is not made to hold more than four. Councillor Morgtn here moved that the Council be recotumended to proceed with the new hospital without delay. Mr J. L. Davies seconded, and this was carried. On the suggestion of the Medical Officer, it was decided to purchase special washable cloth- ing for the sanitary officers for use when dealing with infectious cases. In connection with the same subject, Mr Morgan asked if the four small-pox patients had had separate doctors attending them, and was there not a great danger of the disease "1''f) 0,; vUv vy»viii In reply, the Medical Officer said there was none at all. He bad hever heard of such a ease. Medical men had gowns and hoods, and a corrosive solution was used for bathing the hands after leaving the hospital. INSPECTORS' REPORTS. The number of houses inspected during the past month by the chief sanitary inspector was 124; nuisances discovered, 53; and notices served to the owners and tenants, 53. Of these, 51 bad been complied with. Under the Work- shops, Shop Hours, and Shop Seats Act, 237 places of business had been visited, and things found to be generally satisfactory, with the exception of a lodging-house kept by a woman named White, 6, Holmes-street, Oadoxton. This licensee bad not complied with the regula- tions, and the usual proceedings weie ordered to be taken against her. The Port Sanitary Inspector's report showed that the tot'tl number of ships visited during the month were 463, about 40 per cent. of which were found to be defective in one way or another. One vessel and 451 articles of clothing had been disinfected. The inspector reported that eight out of the ten coastwise sailing vessels visited were found to be very nirly in the fore- castle, and the Chairman asked if nothing could be done towards compelling the masters to better this state of things. The Medical Officer answered that little could be done. The men themselves were the chief obstruction. They were supposed to keep the forecastle clean, The sanitary officers' authority did not go far, and they could only order the ships to be kt'pt clean. SANITARY OFFICERS' WANTS. Inspector Hockley having been in the service of the Council twelve months, and getting rather shabby, was granted a supply uniform. Mr S. B. Somerfield, the acting chief sanitary inspector, applied for an increase of salary. The inspector pointed out that since the depar- ture of the late chief sanitary inspector he had done the chief's work practically. Bis salary at present was JE2 a week.—After some discus- sion it was decided to ask the inspector to prepare a report of the salaries paid to the various inspectors in South Wales, and nresent it at the next meeting £ e 5ealth Committee, \yeà tne Committee would consider the salaries paid to the whole of the sanitary officers iu their employ. IMPROVED FIRE STATION. It was decided to make alterations in the new fire engine station, Court-road, for the purpose of admitting a fire escape. The alterations would be to the doorway, and the cost about JE25. CORRESPONDENCE. A letter was read from a resident in Barry- road, near the Buttrills, asking that street lamps may be placed there.—This was de- cided on. The Clerk to the Magistrates wrote asking the Council to consider the advisability of putting up a greater number of urinals in the distiict, there being a number of prosecutions at the court against people for committing nuisances.—The Surveyor was instructed to report on the matter. IMPROVED STREET LIGHTING. A number of incandescent lamps have been fixed in various streets of the town for the past month on trial, and these, the Surveyor re- ported, had given general satisfaction, being a great improvement upon the old style. The Surveyor now recommended that the principal streets in the dixtriot be lighted with the incan- descent. There would be about 90 lamps to fit up. Councillor Morgan moved that this be done, aud the Chairman seconded, but Mr J. L. Davies moved an amendment against the pro- position. His experience of the light was that it did not answer its purpose. Councillor Barnett seconded, but it was finally decided to recommend the Surveyor's suggestion to the Council. This was all the public busineee.

I couldn't keep him, aud I told him to use his own mind on the matter.—The Beneh decided that there was no evidence of desertion, and dismissed the case, but General Lee advised complainant to seek relief from the local officer, and then the guardiaus would probably take up her case.
