DEATH OF PAUPERS FROM EXPOSURE. The body of a man who has since been identi- fied as Thomas Lane, 47 yews of age, recently an inmate of the Oldham Workhouse, was discovered on Wednesday morning at Failsworth, under ciroumstances which point to death from expo- iure. Laue, it appears, has been an inmate of the workhouse since 1884, and about six months ago he had to undergo an operation on account of some affection of the eyes. For some tinie he was blind, and never thoroughly re- covered his eight. On Tuesday after noon be was visiting his sister, Mta Sfchofield, 39, Stephenaon-strefet, Failsworth, and he left her house about a quarter-past four oc,ock for the pnrpoje of returning to the workhouse. Nothing inore could be learnt of him until the next morn- ing, when a boatman passing Johnson's mill at Failsworth informed two of the workpeople, Joseph Wadsworth and Samuel Ogden, that he had observed a man standing in the water a little higher up on the opposite of the canal. These men informed Police-constable Scanian, and that officer, accompanied by the men, went to the spot indicated by the boatman. They found Lane with the lower portion of his body in the water and his head leaning on thà embankment. He was dead, and a num- ber of bruises about his knee indi- cated that he had struggled to get out ot the water. It is conjectured that as it was going dark when he left his sister's house, and his eye- sight being defective, he must have taken the wrong turu, wandered to the oanal" side, and accidentally fallen into the water. He was regarded at the workhouse at a sober, steady man. An incident worth recording is the faith- fulness displayed by a dog belonging to the work- bouse authorities which accompanied Lane on the vittit to his sister. It appears to have remained with hub all through the night, and was making frantic efforts to attract attention at the time the discovery was made. So faithful was the dog that it would not for some time allow anydne to touch the body, and the animal had to be fastened up before Police-constable Saanlan could take the body out of the water.

A SIMILA R CASE On. Thursday Mr F, N. Molesworth, county Coroner, held an inquest at the Hare and Hounds Inn, Chadderton, near Oldham, on the body of James Ash worth, aged 70 years, who had been an liiinate of the Ashton-uuder-Lyne Workhouse." From the evidence it appeared that deceased left the workhouse on Monday and did not return.at night. At seven o'clock ou Tuesday morning William Taylor, a lamplighter, when going through Butler-green, had his attention called to the barking of a dog which was in a field. On going to ascertain the cause he saw a fox terrier guarding the body of a man who was lying on the frozen ground. The dog would not allow him to approach the body, and a policeman was oalled to the scene. It was not uutil a woman was citlied that the animal was pacified. There were several bruises on the body, which must have been caused by falling. In the pockets was sui em^ty gin bottle. A verdict of death from exposure was returned.

ARE CRITICS SIMPLE ? ACTRESSES AND THEIR PRESEN1S. A representative of CatseU's Saturday Journal recently had a conversation with a male member of the dramatic profession on theatrical thtngt in general, and the art of self-puiiing in particular. Many of the bouquets banded to actresses- are genuine marks ot pleasure and approval, I suppose?" "Yes, and some are! not," replied the actor, candidly. You don't surely mean that the, lady herstJJf-u and I stopped short, scarcely daring to give utterance to the thought. But the' actor went on-u Yes, some ladies do actually provide their own floral tributes, and some have been known to make the same bouquet, slightly jitteredi do double duty in one night." Aud what is the idea ?" Simply to get themselves talked about and written about. Some provincial papers often refer to this kind of thing, and-it's very signifi- cant, this—these bouquets are generally knocking about the night the critics are present." Do Joatbink that reporters are ever bribed into noticing these Occurrences in their critiques f' Well," returned the actor, shrugging his shoulders, if a lady is capable of the one she is surely capable of attempting the other." And what about the presents of jewellery that are sometimes made to actresses?" "It is a very discreditable practice, I know, and I'm glad to think not often carried (in but still it does occasionally happen that a lady provides her own presents, and I have known the same article to be presented twice in the same evening. Satires and burlesques have been written anent the prac- tice, so you may be sure the evil is existent. You read sometimes of organised applause; this, let me say, seldom tafces place outside fiction. You will see that ladies are the worst offenders in this matter of stage puffery perhaps we actors are oftly less sinners because we lack the opportunities. Taking the will for the deed perhaps we are quite ad guilty."

DROWNING HIS DISAPPOINT- .-FT*MKNT.—" Melbourne Toomer, an elderly man, who came down frcrn Reading earlier in the week, appeared in the dock at the Newport Town-hall yesterday. Toomer came to Newport to assist a tradesman in stock-taking. He had been ill for some time, and had not fully recovered when he presen ted himself at the -Newport establishment and the tradesman therefore declined to put him on. Toomer then went to drown his disap- pointment at a public-house, and took two glasses of brandy, The effect of the spirit was such that Officer David .Thomas, who saw InUl High-street afterwards, thought that he was insane, us he was running after the Wheels of passing vehicles, and then turned aud pursued some females who were passing. Thomas arrested Toomer and conveved him to the lls, wher it Was found that he was suffering from the effects of the spirits which he consumed, looker now pleaded that be had spent four days in the ceils, and thit he wanted to get back to Reading. Asked how he was to get there if be had no money, he replied that he should have to walk by easy stages.—The Bench discharged prisoner on his promising to imme- diately start for Reading.

LORD SALISBURY iN A ri o a; • ^rd Salisbury's references to Disestablishment in Wales m his speech at Cardiff, on November «»th, make it very clear (says the Orator; that he has a good deal yet t, learn, both as to the history and the position of the English Church n the Principality. He has not yet made up his mind apparently as to what the Church in Wales really is~-wbether it is a separate Church from that >n Jbngland or part and parcel of the Church ur IL NI Again and'again he speaks of "the Welsh Church as if it were a separate Church, and then of its being merely fo«r Dioceses of the Province of Canterbury." thing, however, he is certain about, namely,"thai any onslaught on the four dioceses will toean, at no distant date, a similar attack on everv tinrii of the Established Church of England." But the extraordinary thing is that he does uot yet know whether the Church in Wales is in a minority or not; and be asks for a religious census to settle the point. If 31 one out of the 34 members for Wales and Monmouthshire were supporters of the Establishment he would require no further evi- dence that the Church in Wales was in a great majority; and most people will be equally satis- fied that all 31 members go for Disestablishment, the Churoh is in a very small minority and ought to be disestablished.

AN ACTOR'S SAD END, An inquest was held at Sunderland onThursday upon the body of an actor named Wm. Butler, professionally known as Wm. Clancy, aged 53, who died under .most painful circumstances at Sunderland on Monday last. time ago h# lost his wife, and in consequence gave way to drink. Renting a single room he lived a most wretched life, depriving himself of food, and drawing almost daily small sums from his banking account, which were squandered in drink until he had gone through nearly all he bad. namely 9150. When dying be was found lying on the floor clothed with only a few rags, and covered with dirt and vermin. As an actor deceased was well known throughout the provinces, having fulfilled important engagements in all the princial large towns,

A BKCENTLT PUBLISHED REPORT otlibe Historf cal Manuscripts Commission contains a most interesting digest of the ancient records of the Corporation of Hereford, and some references tell the making and selling of beer, are worth notice. AUe," u Beere," and Metbeglen" (a beer made from honey) are frequently mentioned from 1513 to the end .of that century. At various times, from 1513 to, persons were "indicted for putting hops in ale, there being a law in force against the practtce. Little did the magistrates of that time think that in the nineteenth century one of the most paying industries in the county fJ;, Hereford would be tho growing of this so-called "pernicious drug," and that the city itself should become famed for the brewing of a special beef, tbe Golden Sunlight" Ale, whose excellence and Savour should greatly depend upon the very pick of Herefordshire hops being used in its brew- ing. Brewed only by Charles Watkins and Hon, the Hertford Brewery, and told by Agent* throughout the kingdom. 13401—lift)

A POSITIVE CURE FOR CORPULENCE. II Any remedy that can be suggested as a cure or alleviation for stoutriess will be hartily wel. coniq. Welhave recently received a well-written pook, thfe author of which seems to know what h« ilil tàlking about. It is entitled, c CQrpulenc1 and the Cure,' and is a cheap issue (only 4d), pub- hehed by Mr F. Russell, of Woburu House, Store-street, Bedford-square, London. Our space will not do justice to this book send for it your- self. Jt appears that Mr Russell has submitted all kinds of proofs to the English Press, The editor of the Tablet, the Catholic organ, writes:- Mr Russell does not give us the slightest loophole for a doubt as to the value of hia cure, for in the in?st straightforward and matter-of-faet manner be submitted some hundreds of original and unsolicited testimonial letters for oftr perusal, and offered us plenty if required, To assist him to ?'• tf ? known, we think we cannot cO Better than publish quotations from some of the letters submitted.

CONFERENCE OF SCHOOL- MASTERS. The annual conference of the Association of Head Masters of Higher Grade and Organised Science Schools Was held in the school board offices, Leeds, on Thursday. Mr Swtoon, the retiring president, gave a valedictory address, after which he was thanked for his services, on the motion of Dr. Forsyth (Leeds), seoonded by Mr Waugh (Cardiff). Dr. Forsyth, the cew president, afterwards took the chair, and the remainder of the morning meeting Was ooeupied in discussion of business matters, including the report and balance-sheet, which was considered of a satisfactory character. Mr Alexander Soott, B.A. (South Shields), was elected vice-president; Mr W. Dysohe, B.A. (Halifax), treasurer and Mr J. Bidtrood, B.Sc. (Gateshead), secretary. It was decided that the next meeting should take place in London in September or October. At the afternoon sitting the president gave an address on National Secondary Education," which he strongly advocated from several points of view, and in the discussion which followed his opinions met with general acceptance. Mr Dysohe read a paper on Payment by Results," and reviewed the science examinations of last year, which came in for a great deal of criticism.

PAPER AND PRINT IN 1895. It appears that the total number of books pub- Jished in 1893 was 6,382. This, however, is 150 below the number of the previous year. If we distinguih between new books and new editions the numbers of new books are 5,129 as compared with 4,915 in 1892. Thenew works of fiction have fallen from 1,147 to 935 but this is probably due to some differences in classification, and m:tny works probably classed before as fiction now go to swell the list of "juvenile worts and talis," which have made an etherwise astonishing rise frotti 292 to 659. In an advance sheet of "The Publishers' Circular," from which we gather facte, this is the explanation given. In political economy there is a falling off from 1S1 to 71, Voyages aud travels are nearly the same as the previous year-about 250-wliile warks of history and biography are slightly fewer. There is a small increase in volumes of poetry, asalso in year books aiid serial volumes. Mfdical and surgical works are not so numerous. This remark applies also to belles lettres.

LAW ON CHEMISTS' OFF- LICENCES. THE EXPOSURE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS. It has been decided by the Barnsley magis- trates that a chemist who holds what is called an "off-licence"—that is a licence to sell wine and spirits to be drunk off the premises—must not keep his shop open after eleven at night, even for the sale of medicines only, unless his more intoxi- cating wares are hidden from the view of passers- by. Mr Lambert, the chemist referred to, was found to be selling medicines at twenty minutes past eleven at night, and was cautioned by a police constable that his conduct was unlawful. The chemist, however, Seems to have been under the impression that it was sufficient if he refrained from selling wines or spirits after eleven, and it was admitted that he had sold none after that hour. On the other hand, bottles of various liquors were still to be Men in his shop window, ticketed and labelled in the usual way; and though it was shown that these were mere samples, cased in with a frame and figured glass, and that it was not the custom at any hour to supply bottles of wine or spirits from the window stock, it was held that this was exposing wine and spirits for sale within the meaning of the Act. The Bench, however, im- posed no more serious penalty than the payment of costs, with a recommendation that the defendant, if he kept his establishment open after eleven p.m., should in future take reasonable means to prevent the exposure of intoxicating liquors,

TYNDALVS LAST LETTER. The last letter of the late Professor Tyndall is believed to have been one which he addressed to Mr Collez,, of the Society of Authors, of which body Professor Tyndall was a vice-president, as well as otivot its earliest and' staiinchest friends, It is dated December 3. and did not reach its destination till after Dr. Tyndall's death. The following portion of tbe note is published iu The Author :— Dear Mr Colleil.-I have been alitin-fally en- treated —lifted on the wings of hope and then let faU like a simple gravitating mass without a pinion. Wheu I reached England from Switzerland six we"ks ago my prosp cts were fnir. Three days after uiy return they became clouded.

This is why I have not acknowledged your friendly note informing me of the kindness of in undertaking to look over the poems of WiU you thank him on my behalf ? -Yours very faithfully, JOHN TYNDALL. There was, we leara, a postscript containing another message of kindness and friendship.

NOVEL INVENTION BY A RHONDDAITE. Mr G. T. Jones, of Sherwood-place, Llwynypia, has just secured letters patent for a contrivaiico whiuh will doubtless be of inestimable benefit to miners and other workmen who are under the necessity of carrying their victaals with them to the mine-or the workshop. Workmen, as a rule, are fond of tea, but this when conveyed 10 tin jacks often becomes tainted and disagreeable to the palate, and earthenware vessels are useless for the purpose because of their liability to break. Mr Jon* invention is described as a shield to protect working men's jars, pots, and earthen- ware vessels," and seems well adapted for the purpose intended. The shield will enable the men to oontey their drink into the pit in ordinary earthenware vessels, and so render it free from being tainted in any degree.

EXPENSIVE BACON AT NEWPORT.

For this foolish froak he was fined 20s at the Newport Borough Police-court yesterday.

r ALLEGED FORGERY OF OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS. CHARGE AGAINST A SEAMAN. j At the Cardiff Borough Police-court yesterday -before the Stipendiary and Mr J. Ramsdale a young man named Ernest W. Haines was charged on a warrant with obtaining money and goods to the amount of £ 10 7s 3d from George Otanbury by means o £ false pretences, and with intent to defraud, between the 1st and 5th Septem- ber. He was further charged with feloniously lotgingajad uttering to oneGilling, well knowing the aame to be an order by the Army paymaster for V* money, to wit, a receipt tor £ 60 7s I" intent to defraud on the 26th August, J™, ^raa a'8° charged with obtaining money to the amount of £ 2, and food and lodgings to the amount of 22 2s from Charles Anderson by means of a forged document, between the 26th August and the 7th September, 1890.—Mr Ward was for the prosecution. George Stanbury, who is a clothier in Bute- fchat '? September last prisoner called at his place of business, and, producing a dommentvarporting to be a negotiable receipt from the War Office for J360 odd, obtained a large nwnber of goods and £ 3 8s in cash. He did not tender the document in payment of the SUI", but S* r^n-ness at ko had instructed hi« solicitor, Mr Gilling, • TO PAT ALL HIS DKBT8. Charles Anderson, boarding-house master, of Bute-road, said the prisoner lodged with him. lie did not pay for his board and lodging, but !u°m fr(,in the Accountaut-Geueral at the War Office. This stated that the district paymaster, Horse Guards, London, had been authorised to pay him the sum of £ 60 7s lOd. He explained that this Was the interest of the money owed to his father when he was i! « m lQdla* Witness suggested to him tbae the figures "60" after the £ had not been written by the same hand as wrote the 7s 10d,' tú which prisoner replied, "This has to go through a Rood many hands, and the old men in the War Offioe might have shaky hands. I wouldn t run tbe risk of getting seven yoars for the sake 11 of getting a few shillings out of you." Witness, satisfied with ttlisexplviaution, lent him a shilling or two. The next day the prisoner showed him a blue j paper receipt which wag negotiable. This purported to be for the sum of j660 7s lOd,service grant on the sum invested for the prisoner in the Orphans' Sav- ings Bank, on account of the late Sergt. Haines. W ltness KKMAKKKn THAT THIS MIGHT BB RIGHT," but offered to go withprosecutor as far as Mr Guling, the solicitor. They therefore proceeded together to the office of that gentleman, and prisoner asked the solicitor to draw him the money—handing him the receipt. Mr Gilling agreed to do this, and crossed the note, remarking awhile to prisoner, If this isn't all right there'il be a row." Some days afterwards, witness's sus- picions still being aroused as to the validity of the document, managed- to get Haines to write the words Sixty pounds on a sheet of paper, and the haudwriting cor. responded with that on the receipt. no i a Oiiltng, solicitor, said that on the 28tlv August last Charles Anderson came to him with the prisoner Haines and produced the nego- tiable receipt. Anderson asked him what he thought of tne document, and witness replied that he thought the figures and the words "sixty pounds had been filled in throughout. Prisoner said SKEW KOTHIIRA ABOUT ITS BIIBG WRONG, and signed the receipt. Witnees subsequently crossed it. and remarked that he would write to the War Office about it. He accordingly wrote to the Under-Secretary for War, and whilst awaiting an answer from that official prisoner and Anderson several times called at his office and asked the result of the inquiries, He said the prisoner last on the 30tb August, and he had an answer back from the mihtary authorities on the 2nd September. Frederick William Hamblin, quartermaster sergeant m the Army Pay Corps, Horse Guards, London, said in August last he made out a nego- tiable receipt for 7s lOd, payable to Mr E. W. Haines, Sailors Reet, Cardiff. This was interest due to the prisoner under a sum invested on aocount of his father in the Orphans' Sav- ings Bank. The worù. and figures representing sixty after the ":C" inark -had been added since it left his (witness's) hands. Detective W. Gretton spoke to receiving the prisoner on the 23rd December from the police at Plymouth. On being charged prisoner replied. 1 admit obtaining the goods, butnot with inten to defraud anyone." to defraud anyone." ?ir'j°!?er' reserved his defence, was com- mitted for trial at the next assizes^, for the County of Glamorgan, which will be held in Cardift In Febriiary.

WERE THE POTTERS DRUNK ? A NEWPORT PUBLICAN PROSECUTED At Newport Borough Police-aourt yesterday his Worship the Mayor (Councillor Fred Phillips) was supported by a Phillips on either side—his nephew, Mr C. D. Phillips, sat on the left, and Mr Henry Phillips occupied the seat ou the right. Before .this bench Mr George Wm; „ Elliott, landlord of |,fao Hast- togs beerhouse, Comme-rcial-rotd, -'tLpp"ared, to anaww » summons for permitting drunkenness on his licensed premises. On Christmas-eve; shortly before seven o'clock, two potters named Belts and Davies, entered the Tredegar Arms, Church-street, and Miss Bush, the barmaid, refused to serve them because she considered they were the worse for drink. The men then went on to Hastings beerhouse, where both were served. Officers Preece and Cowlin, who had seen the men in the Tredegar Arms, then followed and entered the Hastings beerhouse, and drew the landlord's sister's attention to the men who they said were drunk. This was denied by Betss, who offered to go to the police-station, and the manageress. Mr A. A. Newman, town clerk, now prosecuted on behalf of the police, Aud Mr Lyndon Moore, solicitor, represented the defen. dant who, with his wife, was in church at the time. Two men who were in the house when the men were served gave it as their opinion that they were not the worse for drink.—The Bench held that the manageress did uot know that the men were drunk at the time, there would therefore be no conviction, but defendant was ordered to pay the costs.

LOYAL ORDER OF ANCIENT SHEPHERDS IN CARDIFF. The annual meeting of the Loyal Oeder7of Ancient Shepherds, A. U., Penarth and Cardiff District, was held on Tuesday at the Crofta Hotel, Roath. In the absence of Bro. T. B v n, Provincial Chief Shepherd, Bro. W. Hughes, Deputy Chief, presided. He was supported in the vice-chair by Bro. It. Bevan, I'.P.C.S. There were also present Bro. E. Gibbon, Pro. Cor. Sec.; Bro. W. Lyles. P.P.C.S. Bro. D. Evaus. P.P.O.S. Bro. H. J. Wylde, P.P.C.S; Bro. G. Churchill, P.P.C.U. and tij- delegates repre* senting the 11 lodges which comprise the Penarth and Cardiff District. The accounts of the quarter gave great satisfaction, there being a considerable increase over any previous quarter, owing chiefly to the amalgamation of the old Melinurythiin Benefit Society, with 50 members and a capital of £ 1,130. It was resolved to invite the A.M.C. to Cardiff In 1895, also to send two delegates to the A.M.G. which is to be held at Hul! in Whil week. A leading feature in connection with the business was the presentation of an emblem iwhich was beautifully got up and framed by ir°. _Wm. Morgan) to Bro. G. Churchill, P.P.C.S.. in acknowledgment of the able manner in which he had oarried out the dutie-* of Provin- cial Chief Shepherd in 1892. The election of officers took place, the following being selected Bro. W. Hughes (Pwll Coch Lodge), Provinoial Chief Shepherd; Bro: W. T. Shute, Provincial Deputy Chief Shepherd. A vote of thanks was passed to Bro. T. Bevau, the retiring P.C.S. It was also resolved to hold the annual fete and gsla on Easter Monday.

HOW TO WRITE LETTERS. The stately style of compliment has gone out of fashion among English letter writers. How it flourished under the reign of King Charles I. may be n in the following ponderous epistle from the Earl of Newcastle to Vandyke, the great painter Welbwk, Feby., 1637. The favours nf my friends you have so transmitted unto me as tho longer I looks on them the more I think them nature and not art. It is not my error alone. It it be a.disease, it is epidemical, for such power hatlnyoui hand on the eyes of mankind; Next the blessing of your company and sweetness of conversation, the greatest blessing were to ba an Argus or all over but one eye, so it and they were ever fixed upon that which wa must call yours. What wants in judgment I can supply with admiration, and scape the title of ignorante I have the luck to be astonished in the right place, and the happiness to be passionately your humble servant."

NOT LIKE ENOCH ARDEN. A Pittsburg telegram says :-Charles Patterson the Enoch Arden" of Allegheny, who returned .on Thanksgiving Day, after an absence of twenty. six years, to find his wife married to his brother, has decided to resort to the courts. He does not want possession of his wife, but desires a portion of his patrimony, wliieh ba-, been diepteed of during his long absence. He has retained an attorney, who is aow engaged in looking up the court records. The suit promises to develope not only a most peculiar domestic complication, but involves some cf the most valuable property interests.

CORRESPONDENCE. ADMINISTRATION (L.M.N.B.).—You have now pat the case very elearly. The confusion arose through your referring to C. as a bondsman, whereas in this -con- nection he is acting simply in the capacity of agent for. the administrators. In neither capacity, how- ever, can be possibly be sued by the creditor of deceased, who must take proceedings against the administrators. It is for them to defend the actiou if they judge it fit to do so. If C. were t > be sued, the action would break down at once. C. must, therefore, not pay anything he is not authorised te pay by his principals, the administrators. If he did, it woold have to come out nf his own pocket.

HUSBAM) AND WIFE (Dick).-If a husband and wife are livlzig together, and the furniture, or part of i is the husband's ilnd buaiim" is carried on in the wife s name, and the husband buys aud manages the place for her, it appears to us that the creditor!* are not to blame If, iu such a confused state of thing*, they t. eat both as liable, and proceed in- differently against either; and we think vou wfll have great difficulty in evading the pat meat- of your debts by convincing the county court judge that you are not in point of fact liable. The summons ap- pears to us to be perfectly regular, and if it were not, a point like that, would uot save you. WATER BCFPLY (bcribbl8r).—L^ie answer to vonr questions must depend upon the provisions of the act under which the water supply is going to be pro- tided. You had better cell at the local board om<-e aud ask for the information. Local authorities at* not in the habit of recklessly breaking the law, though, of course, they sometimes do so, and it it quite right not to trust their of&.ials implicitly. Co OPERATIVE SOCIETIES (Working Man).—jfee very foundation of these societies, we have always under- stood, is the system of cash peyments. If ihey were to grant credit to their members when out of em- ployment, they would at once have to revise their scale of prices, to provide for the loss which would ensue. We do not see how the committee can possibly relax their rules in vour case without a breach of trust. SioaRApar (Anxious).-If the subject of your book had shown half so much anxiety as you do, he would never have found t,ivingstone. Von are perfectly entitled to make what use you please of the letters you have received, unless they, or yours to Mr S., were marked private. There is no necessity for vou to send the proof sheets of yonr work to him, and, is fact, we are disposed to think, from the tone of hi* letters, that he would rather not see them. Unless your book contains false ot malicious passages, you cannot possibly h*v» anything to fear. As yot probably know, we do not accept, payment foi answers in this column, but perhaps we might be induced to accept a copy of the book when it comet out. INSURANCE (Policy Holder).—You bave nothing to Whoever told you that your brother would be able to deprive you of the amount due on the policy was guilty of a very foolish piece of meddling. No» oa*y so, but you will be entitled to the same share ae your brother in anything your father may leave behind him, except freehold land.

RAILWAY FACILITIES AT MAESTEG. TO THE BDITOE. Siit,.i-The attention of the Maesteg Local Jx>ard has boon called to a paragraph in the Souih Walts Daily Nrw» of the 19th ult., where- in it is stated that no opposition is made to the proposed Great Western line. This is contrary to the faot, as at the board meeting alluded to in the paragraph it was resolved to support the Port Talbot Bill, and to oppose the Great Western Rai.way Bill. To avoid any misunderstanding, kindly give publicity to this.—I am, &c., ROBERT SCALE, Clerk to the Local Board.

A CORRECTION. TO THE EDITOR. Bra,-The report of the annual eisteddfod at the Tabernacle having come under my notice, I wish to correct an error which it contains, viz., No. 2 in the report in your paper of Dec. 30tb, 1893, reads thus—"Children's Choir, divided between Horeb and Seion Chapel Choirs." The error alluded to lies in the above passage. Perhaps it is not a very important one, but it should have been to the effect that Horeb Choir won the first prize, Seion being seoosd, and having no ill-feeling towards either of the choirs or their conductors, I beg to congratulate the leader of Horeb Choir, Mr Samuel Shipton, on this victory as well as the one on Christmas Day. 1892, at the same place.—I am, &c., Morrislon.

What about the Harlech Festivals ? I shall not enter into details, but simply request Mr D. Emlyn Enms. tht histohan of Welsh music, to give detailed fstttp and figures.

COWBRIDGE COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE KDITQR. -Stn, Went to Cowbridge on purpose-to assist Aldermfcn John on the day of the poll. Never in my electioneering experience, -extending over 25 years, did I see -uch a one-sided affair. There were at the Town-hall, outside the polling booth, on the stairs, and outside, over 30 supporters of Mr Bassett. There were the leading gentry of the district, a large contingent of Cowbridge trades- men, brewers and publicaus, a few farmers, gardeners, coachmen, grooms, and keepers. There were also about 40 carriages. As "n af the voters arrived they were surrounded and followed to the door of the polling booth. Inever witnessed such intimidation in my life. My sur. prise is that Mr John polled 100 votes. Hv was there by him-self nearly all the day, with only two young men cli ck* the register, and even they had mit fair play. I telt sorry and vexed for Mr John, knovvmg what he has done for Liberalism. He has worked bard for many ya-r. to get working men to assert their independence. The single-handed and unselfish work he did on the Wfclsh Land Commission should not haft been forgotten, and yet on this occasion, whett the farmers and labourers should have rallied around him, he was entirely forsaken. The country voters were afraid to be Seen talking ta Mr John. Under the circumstances I 'WM ncfl surprised at the majority, but was. after all) thankful that Mr John got 267 votes, They wer# those of honest and conscient ious vot»rs.t am, &c., AN ONLOOKER.

] SOUTH WALES GAS j UNDERTAKINGS. INTERESTING STATISTICS. A return has just been issued and laid befor Parliament in relation to all authorised gas undertakings in the United Kingdom other than those of local authorities. It is unfortunate that the return is only carried down to the end of the year 1892, although it was ordered by the House of Commons so recently as November last to be printed. From this return a large amount of interesting information relating to local aud other gae companies may be gathered. The CAUDIFF GASLIGHT AND COKE COMPANY, with an authorised capital of B456,000, has a paid-up capital of £ 255,000, whilst ita authorised price of gas is 3J 6d per 1,000 feet, though the actual price charged is 3s in Cardiff, and 5a M outside Cardiff and Penarth. The company's tests average 17 68, the prescribed candle-power being 16. During 1892 68,685 tons of coalwere carbonised, and 648,632,100 oubic feot of gas were made. The amollnt .old was 589,966,480 cubio f-et, or 542,706,000 t.-) private consumers and y.260,480 for public lamps. The gas mains ex- tend to 109 niiies, and tiie number of consumers is 10,756. The number of public lamps ligbted (n 1892 was 2,440. The SWANSEA GAS COMPACT has an authorised capital of £ 150,000, but a paid- up capital by means of premiums of £ 159 602. Ihe capital expenditure in 1892 was £ 35 577,' and Uie balance carried to profit and loss account ±.10,519. The maximum authorised prices for gas vary from 3s 6d per 1,000 feet to 5s without *°r«SRh' rUt tlie /*ices charged are 3s 4d ana #3 8d, or 3i and 4s respectively for public hln'Jf' rec}uil'ed illuminating power is 15 Oandles.

A return has also Deen issued relating to all outhorised gas undertakings in the United King- dom belonging to local authorities for tbe year ended March 25th, 1893. In GLAMORGANSHIRE there are but four authorities owning the gas undertakings of their districts, namely, the Aber- avon Lrban Sanitary Authority, tho Briton p8rrF Local Board, the Mountain A*h Local Hoard, and the Neath Corporation.

The number of iftmps varies from Ill. in Aberavon to 364 in £ eatb, and the number of consumers from 235 at JBMtou Ferry to 806 m Mountain Ash. In L *Uonmoiithshire two authorities only own the gas undertakings, the Abergavenny Improvement vommissioners and the Tredegar Local Board.

Brown, presided.—The finance committee recommended that a precept, at the rate of 8d in on the rating authorities of the fcobool district for the ensuing year.—Mr C. L. Barfoot, the chairman of the committee, however stated that as the question had been brought on at the end of a long meeting of the committee, r~ Martin bad suggested that a sub-corn- tnittee should be appointed to further consider the Question. He therefore moved that the matter be referred to a committee consisting of Messrs Martm, Brown, Fuller, and Barfoot, and this course was apreed to. i A communication was received from the town clerk of Newport, stating that the Privy Council naa approved the scheme for intermediato educa- tion in the county borough, and that tha first meeting of tha governors would take placi- on the dlst In.-it., and further requesting that the board would proceed to nominate three governors, which was the number allotted to The board nnd-gr the scheme. Messrs R. T. Martin, W. H. Brown, and L. B. Moore wcte afterwards elected th? board the Rsv. O. D. Campbell and Mr W. M. Fuller were also nominated, but both withdrew their nam,TheChAirmanupived that the managers of the different schools under the board be re-appointed.—Mr Fuller, in moving as an amendment that the matter be referred to a committee of the whole board for consideration, said that ha was dissatisfied with tho insults of the Working of tho single management scheme, and he considered that it did not work beneficially for the schools.—Mr A.

CATCH FOR ENGINEERS. PRIZE OF £ 10,000 OFFERED. Electrical engineers have as yet been unable to perfect a system of working tramways electrically along crowded thoroughfares. The overhead trolley 3ystem similar to that employed upon the South Staffordshire Tramway Company's lines from Walsall to Darlaston, is continually being found fault with in America. Inventors have long been engaged endeavouring to overcome the difficulties, and as an incentive to them to throw themselves into their task with reftfewed Vigour the Metropolitan Traction Company of New York City 1ms offered the handsome award of about £ 10,000 to the enterprising inventor bring- ing out a system of street-car propulsion which will be superior or equal to the overhead trolley system, but without possessing the objectionable features of the trolley for crowded thoroughfares. The idea is stated to be to encourage some sort of underground trolley system.

SUCCESSOR TO THE LATE REV. DR. SAUNDERS. {, Nearly 15 months have been allowed to elapse between the death of the late Rev. Dr. Saunders, the eminent Calvinistic Methodist minister, and the election of a successor in the pastorate of Trinity Chapel, Swansea. On Thursday, the members of the church were -stinimoi)ed to a meeting at which the election would take place, and notwithstanding the severity of the weather about half the members attended. It-was unani- mously resolved to invite the Rev. J. E. Davies to accept the pastorate. There is reason to believe that Mr Davies will accept the call, as he has been foi some time anxious to return to the Principality, his health in London not having boen of the best lately. Should he accept the election will go for ratification before the next monthly meeting of West Glamorgan, and then the appointment will be coutplntp. Mr Davies is M.A. of London, a well known stud able preacher, aud a man of wide culture. He is author ot several important literary works and a poet of no mtfan order, while as a thinker he is abreast with the time and possesses a knowledge of science which enables him to champion the cause of Christianity against the attacks of rnodbrn freethought. He is a native of Carmar- then, and before going to London was pastor at Llanelly, where ho was exceedingly popular.

DEATH BY MISADVENTURE. At the Marylebone Coroner's Court, London, on Thursday, an enquiry was held concerning the death of Lilian Lulman, aged 5 years. The mother stated that the child had been suffering from whooping-cough, and Dr. Kerr had been attending her. Witness had some camphorated oil in a bottle which she used for rubbing over the child's chest and back. On Saturday evening witness went to the surgery aud obtained some medicine, and upon her return home the child said she was thirst? and wanted a drink. Witness remarked it was time for hor medicine, and poured out a teaspoonful of liquid, which the child took and then said, Ob, mother, it is so nasty." Witness then found that in the dim light she had given her daughter the camphorated oil in mistake. The bottle had borne no label, She at once ran to a neighbour and gave the child some hot milk and brandy, butduath took place at seven o'clock the following morning.—Dr. Norman Kerr said death was due to poisoning by camphorated oil. The doctor added that the mother had been very much upset lately, having recently lost a child, and aiiother was dying at bome. Tkie mother was carried out of court.—The jury returned a verdiet of Dsath by misadventure."

THE VICTORIA "RELIEF FUND. TO TSt EDITOR. ■ SIR,—-More than six months have elapsed sindt the foundering of her Majesty's soiJ)" Victoria.' After the shock caused by the disaster hac passed away but one fueling lirvvailed-that the wives, orphans, and dependent relatives ot tbost who were lost should be adequately provided for Within 48 hours this sentiment took a practical form, and a relief fund was opened at the Mansion-house. The response was so liberal that the Lord Mayor soon announced the closing at ,the subscription list, but for weeks after mort money came pouring in. The fund, exceeding if amount £ 70,000, Was by the Lord Mayor, witl the approval of tbe First Lord of the Admiralty, handed over for administration to the sioners of the Patriotic Fund. Not until Nov. IA almost five months after the disaster, did the com* missiotiers coinmence to dole out the first in, stalments to the unfortunate widows and orphant committed to their care, and the dependent rela- tives are still awaiting the decision of theii Claims. So far as I can ascertain, tha tbfftt number of widows ratitled to rank as bene- nciaras is 88, and of orphans 143. LNotwitbstaod. mg the magnificent sum collected, the highest pensions awarded to any widow, other than an •officer's or warrant-officer's, is 5s a week, diminish ing in amount, according to the dead husband's rating, to the starvation pittance of 3s 6d per wfe6k,^the latter sam being tbe allowance to at least 75 per cent, of the widows, and for the children Is par week. These allowances are to be paid quarterly. Not satisfied with pli(ALitilf such a paltry sum, the commissioners accompany it with a warning that the allowance is not to be considered a right; that it may be suspended, withdrawn or reduced by the committee of th. commissioners, and particularly that if she widow goes into service, the pension will be considerably reduced. I have ascertained from actuaries of the highest Tepute that the amount contributed should furnish pensions at least twice as large as are being paid. I therefore invite your readers to ootisider what justification can ha offered for the extraordinary and cruel delay in administering assistance ta 'nin these bereaved people why. seeing such am pi* provision has been made, should they be COIN demned to such parsimonious treatment, and whether soma steps may not be taken even noW to r<x!aim these national funds from the hands of a body so cumbrous and callous as the Patriotic Commissioners ? Surely the public is entitled ta aorne explanation of this apathetic policy, which has for many months past committed these poet dependent* iu the midst of plenty to a state of privation and want.—lam, Ac.. „ HUDSON K.
