CORRESPONDENCE. CARMARTHENSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL TO THE EDITOR. your issue of Sept. 17th there appeared a letter re the appointment of a treasurer for the above Council, and also a leader on the same subject. The great majority of the Council it seems are in favour of giving the appointment to the sm of the late respected treasurer, and for this they are criticised bv your correspondent. One objection of the writer of the letter is that offices should not become hereditary. I do not think the Council in their appointments are acting on hereditary lines but when looking for a treasurer they would naturally look out for a reliable man, and seeing that the late treasurer proved himself a reliable man, and that the son, to all appearances, is a worthy son of his father, it was only natural that they should look to him. I would rather give an office to a tested and reliable family than to an unknown family. Then your correspondent accuses the Council of extravagance. Why, says he, not give the appointment to the bank, which would act as hon. treasurer ? It seems to me that the Council had an eye to economy, for they have reduced the salary from S250 to X150. Now, it is quite evident that your correspondent wants to give the office to the bank because he sees no chance of a Liberal getting it. Rather than let a Tory have it he would give it to the bank, but would keep it for a Liberal. Then he says that the Liberals are wanting in backbone. It seems to me to their honour that they do not look on appointments from a party spirit. This has been the curse of America, and it would be an evil day in Wales when appoint- ments would be made on party lines. It is to Mr Gwilym Evans's honour, though a candidate for the boroughs, that he is in favour of the late Mr Long Price's son. I do not suppose your leader would have been written if there was a likelihood of a Liberal getting the appoiiltment.-I am &C-I WELSHMAN.

NEW JGTORY FOR THE QARDIFF rjpiMES AND S, OUTH WALES WEEKLY .J^J-EWS, By the AUTHOR of THE SILVER KING." A KING IN JJOHEMIA By HENRY HERMAN, Author of "The Silver King," "Wild Darrie," &c A Bohemian life has a charm for many others than the Bohemian—A people who regard but little the conventional usages- of polite society. AKing in Bohemia cannot be described as a Society novel," and that makes it such a par- ticularly attractive and romantic story of extra- ordinary dramatic power. The author, Henry Herman, as the writer of Wild Darrie," The Silver King," Claudian," and others, which are so well known, is in his happiest vein when he writes a tale like this one of plot, intrigue, and courtship, which is undoubtedly his forte.

I SWANSEA, Saturday.-The following is the weekly metal report supplied by Messrs Elford, Williams & Co., lioyal Metal Exchange,Swansea, for the week end- ing Saturday, September 24th:—Copper—The politi- cal outlook being considered unsatisfactory, markets have lost the buoyant tone which has prevailed during the past few weeks. Business in standard copper during the week, 2,525 tons. Tin—The highest price touched for this metal has not been main- tained, and the market closes flat-tranqactions, 2,080 tons. Iron-The public have been more inclined to buy lately, and bsars being rather fidgetty and disposed to cover their sales, prices gradually improved until yesterday, when there was a slight set back, buyers not being so eager to purchase, but still during the week a large business has been done in warrants, viz., 164,000 tons.

NOTES AND ANTICIPATIONS. Apart from the interest attaching to the decision of the last of the three SIO,000 races of the season, the early work of the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire horses should attract plenty of visitors to the Newmarket First October Meeting. The chief race to be decided is the Jockey Club Stakes, which will compare in the matter of interest favourably with either the Princess of Wales's Stakes or the Eclipse Stakes. Indeed, one or two causes have combined to make next Thursday's race exceptionally exciting. Goletta and Velasquez, each of whom have been credited with one of the £10,000 races already decided will meet to settle the question of supremacy. They will be opposed by Cyllene, regarded as the best three year old of this season, and as Mr C. D. Rose's colt has never yet met either Velasquez or Goletta, there is no direct line to be obtained as to their relative merits. In anticipating the result therefore I shall rely on VELASQUEZ and CYLLENE, who may finish in the order in which I have mentioned their names, while Goletta and Dieudonne should follow them past the post. On the first day of the meeting, the principal event is the Twentieth Foal Stakes, which includes among its entry Batt, Collar, Dieudonne Ninus, Purser, Greenan, Locarno, Wantage' Ayah, Santhia, Galashiels, and other well-known three-year-olds. Of these undoubtedly the pick is Dieudonne, with whom, however. I shall couple Batt, as the Duke of Devonshire's colt is engaged in the Jockey Club Stakes on Thursday, The Buckenham Stakes may fall to Sinopi, and the Visitors' Plate should fall to Yester Year, in spite of her 71b penalty for her Manchester victory. The Forty-ninth Triennial Stakes may be won by Tarbolton, and the Gran by Plate by Umbrosa. The First Nursery Handicap I shall allot to Cromlix and Schoolgirl, and the Maiden Plate to Astral. On the second day the Great Eastern Railway Handicap-the most important important event of its class during the four days-will be decided, and while admitting the good chance possessed by Fosco, who is meeting Yester Year on 81b. better terms than in the September Handicap of yesterday, I shall nevertheless split my vote between Ardeshir and Florio Rubattino. The Fifteenth Triennial Stakes should be won by Galashiels, as Cyllene is an almost certain non-starter,and the Boscawen (Post)Stakes may be left to Boniface. The Hopeful Stakes should be secured by Royal Whistle or Claque, and the Snailwell Stakes by Lord Wolverton's fine sprinter Ugly. The Second Nursery Handicap 1 shall leave with Huntress or Vinca and the October Welter Handicap with St. Fort.' On Thursday the Double Trial Plate I shall allot to Laban or Roundel, and the First October Two Year Old Stakes to Footpad II. The Selling Stakes (Rous Course) may fall to Sais, and the Fifty-first Triennial Produce Stakes to Peoria. The Selling Stakes (Liowley Mile) may be won'bv Sheriff's Officer or Daphnis. On the concluding afternoon the Newmarket St. Leger may be secured by Batt, and the Rut- land Stakes by Jolly Tar, while Trident should place,the Rous Memorial Stakes to the credit of Mr Leopold de Rothschild. London, Saturday Night. VIGILANT.

PADDOCK GOSSIP. MANCHESTER, Saturday. A beautiful autumnal morning, a big crowd, and the prospects of a first- class race for the Prince Edward Handicap enlivened the early hours on the course to-day. The actual start was tame enough, as only five runners turned out for the Oldham Welter. Sloan on Waterhead made the running for six furlongs, but then got headed by The Quack, and just as it looked odds on the latter up came Lady Fisher and polished off the lot, The winner was favour- ite, but only at fractionally shorter rates than The Quack and Waterhead. The last-named has a currish temper, and on getting a steadier in coming round the bend would not take up the work. The going continues to keep in wonder- f Jlly good trim all things considered. Royette; Gazetteer, Succoth, and Newhaven II. all have big followings. The first-named looks like starting a hot favourite. There were plenty of runners, but little of interest in the Paddock Plate and Saturday Plate. A quiet little coup was effected with WARRANT 111 the former race. There was a long delay in the other affair, and the pint of whisky given to the favourite Helium as a tonic before starting seemed to have evaporated, as the colt made no show whatever in the contest. By the wav HE is aptly named, as he is by Suspender out of Chemistry. Glowberry, an outsider, won very easily and thus proved a profitable deal to Mr Hibberi who had bought him, among others, at Nottingham. He there paid two hundred guineas for the colt, and now let him go for one hundred aud fifteen guineas, which, by the way, was the sum given for Wagram this afternoon. Both may be considered cheap horses if carefully placed. Sloan's performance in the Gerard Nursery was the most brilliant piece of horsemanship he has shown in England. It F eemed to be a hundred to one against Dominie II. He had been ,«EA(*E<J and then shut in by the leaders within the dis- tance. Sloan promptly pulled round from the rails to the stand side, and with as vigorous and effective a display of jockeyship as has ever been seen among our own first-class riders got up stride after stride, and having no more than 60 yards within which to make up his dozen lengths disadvantage did so in masterly style, and actu- ally won by half a length. The ex-plater Chris- tina ran very creditably. It is evident that she cannot get a mile, but she can do six furlongs well. Carlin had too much weight, and only got seventh place. The long delay at the post caused by he vagaries of Succoth must have done a lot of mischief to Gazetteer, whose sour disposition does not brook much irritation. This horse was fa» ourite and ran very creditably, but could not overhaul Georgic on coming through within the distance. Sonatina made the running at a FINE P^CE, but gave way in the straight. In the last quarter mi e There was uo fear entertained by Georgia B backers, the onlv danger being GazeUeer, but the mare outstayed him. Royette was always second till reaching halfway up the stfa.ght, where she was in trouble, while Sardis was also piommen beginning. The Irish division, who were present in strong force, backed Gazetteer rather than Succoth? but the last named was well supported.

The mist had settled all about the far side of the course by the time the lot arrived at the post, and there was a long delay, caused by Succoth and Purse, before the flag fell. Sardis was first off, but infor- mation as to the early part of the running had to be obtained from the jockeys, from whom it was gathered that Sonatina drew out with a clear lead of I Royette, Georgie, Prosperous, Sardis, and Gazetteer to the straight, where Sonatina still led, followed by Georgic and Royette, with Gazetteer drawing up and Elfin in front of Sardis. At the distance Royette was in trouble, as was Sonatina.

A rare cheer greeted the success of Carnatum in the De Trafford Welter, and the applause for her rider would have been of deeper volume had the occupants of the stands and rings known that from the bend Harrison had been riding on a split saddle. Believin, who hit his leg H day or two ago at Maryborough, was again confined to walking yesterday, and he was joined in this quiet work by Lesterlin. It is very doubtful whether the first-named can be prepared for his engagement in the Duke of York Stakes. Allsopp, with half a dozen wins, has done best among the jockeys this week, so far as increasing his score is concerned, and with six wins out of 20 mounts he displaces T. Loates, who is just r,°UT OF LACK, and drops into fourth place. M. Cannon has had five wins out of 14 mounts, and is within one of completing his century of wins. The Danebury horseman has now a shade and is within one of completing his century of wins. The Danebury horseman has now a shade the best average of jockeys with substantial figures, his 4-01 mounts per win just beating the 4-05 of Weldon and the 4"07 of Watts. A formidable rival to our middle-weight iockevs has again cropped up in Tod Sloan, the Yankee horseman. Sloan arrived in this country on Tues- day, and was in the saddle at Manchester on .Thursday and yesterday and seeing that of his seven mounts three were winners, starting a.t the respective odds of 9 to 4, 7 to 1, and 9 to 2, the diminutive Yankee must be held to have made a good start for his backers.

SWIMMING. THE RAVENSBOURNE GALA. An important programme of swimming was decided at Westminster Baths on Saturday after- noon, including the 500 Yards Championship, which resulted in a win for J. A. Jarvis, of Leicester, by 12 yards, J. H. Derbyshire being second, and Phil Lester third. The winner s time was 6min. 47 2-5sec. The Schoolboy Cham- pionship of England resulted in an easy win for the holders, the Arnot-street School, Liverpool, the People's College, of Nottingham, being second. COSTUME FOR LADIES. On Saturday evening, under the auspices of the Amateur Swimming Association, a conference of delegates from the various Ladies' Swimming Associations in .England was held at the West- minster Palace Hotel for the purpose of discussing the question of costume for ladies at swimming race meetings. Miss Cashmore, of Birmingham, presided. The conference discussed the question in private, and it was announced that certain proposals had been approved, and these would be submitted to the Council of the Amateur Swimming Association. INTERNATIONAL WATER POLO. SCOTLAND v. WALES. The Scottish Association met on Saturday evening in Glasgow. and selected the teams to play against England at Liverpool, on Saturday, 1st October, and against Wales at Aberdeen, on Wednesday, 5th October. The team chosen against England has given general satisfaction and represents the strength of the nation, but general dissatisfaction prevails over the selected players against Wales. In order to cater for local enthusiasm the association have given places to an' undue number of Aberdeen men, who are very slow in speed and deficient in tactics. After the close match provided by the Principality at Cardiff a year ago with a very strong Scotch team the policy of the association is thought to be a mistaken one. Two very good men are in the team, Taggart (forward) and Moore (full back), while Cornet at half-back is fairly strong. Otherwise the team is second and almost third rate. There are two changes in the team, Russell (the champion swimmer) having been displaced by Sweetland, while Macgee takes Fairweather's position. A letter was read from Mr Orders pointing out he advisability of having a neutral referee, and suggesting Mr Pragnell or Mr Baxter, of England, but it was resolved to write that the referee had been selected. Mr Fraser, Glasgow, will officiate. The Aberdeen Town Council will entertain the visitors to luncheon at the granite city. Everything points to a highly successful gala. The teams are Against England R. Craig (Polloksliields Baths), goal J. S. Miller (Western Baths, Glasgow) and John Martin (Northern Glasgow), backs S. 1. Moore (Western Baths), captain, half-back; R. M. Hamilton (Pollokshields Baths), J. Haggart and L. Russell (Western Baths), for- wards. Against Wales-G. Harvey (Aberdeen Thistle), goal S. 1. Moore (Western Baths) and P. McGee ^Aberdeen Bon Accord), backs G. Cornett (Inverness), half-back T. Sweetland (Aberdeen Thistle), Johnstone Edwards (Dundee Whitehall), captain, and J. Taggart (Western Baths), forwards.

I MUNYON'S REMEDIES." SINGULAR REVELATIONS. James Edward Deane (44), described as a medical practitioner, surrendered to his bail at the London County Sessions on Friday (before Mr McConnell, Q.C.) on an indictment charging him with stealing three small sum, of money- 3s, 3s, and 4s belonging to his master, James Monroe Munyon, of Munyon's Homceopathic T ,NC' Shaftesbury-atenue. Mr J P. Grain and Mr Peter Grain prosecuted Mr Randolph defended. The allegation against the accused was that whilst employed as a consult- ing physician" at the establishment named he sold cures taken from the stock before thev were stamped, and failed to account for the money in some cases This the prosecution said he had no authority to do, and he knew full well it was an illegal act to sell a patent medicine without the Government stamp. There were properly stamped cures for him to dispose of. Three witnesses proved going to the premises and representing that they suffered from fictitious ailments, for which they purchased \remedies. Deane was supposed to have pocketed the money. A young lady named Alice Maud Seabrook. the cashier at Muuyon's, admitted in cross-examina- tion that the accused had told her that some people had complained that the remedies were "all bosh." Mr Randolph Do you know that people who complained had more cures given them to keep them quiet? (Laughter.)—I know the" doctor" has given them a "free sample." Mr McConnell; "Free sample" is hardly the right term to use there. They had had the sample and didn't like it. (Laughter.) Mr Randolph The firm had advertised that on certain days 10,000 samples would be distributed free ?-Yes. And amongst those WHO got them were people who had given testimonials ?—Perhaps. And some got their photographs taken free ?— Yes. Before the cure or after ?—After. (Laugh- ter.) The Judge And advertised as Before and after Munyon's." (Loud laughter.) Mr H. H. Crippen, London manager for Mr Munyon, said his employer engaged Doctor Deane. The Judge You call him "doctor." Wha. are his qualifications?—I don't know. (Laughter.) —Continuing, the witness said the accused was under him, aud commenced with a weeklv wage of £ 4, increased subsequently, first to £ 5 and then S6. What instructions Mr Munyon gave prisoner he did not know. Cross-examined When did Munyon last leave for America ?-In May. At that time did you know that the Medical Council were taking a special interest in Mun- yon ?—They were taking a special interest in Dr. H What University has the honour of Professor Munyon ?-He has an honorary degree from the University of Tennessee. You are called doctor." You are not quali- fied ?—I don't pretend to be. You cannot get a qualified man to take on the position in London ?-I beg your pardon. I can get half a dozen reputable doctors. One has been struck off for occupying that posi- tion ?-He has, sir. Have you said, I have heard customers com- ing and complaining that the medicines were swindles ?"—I don't think I said swindles. (Laughter.) I might have. Did you say also, I have given instructions to fill the 4s bottles with the Is remedies and sell them to the public at the 4s price, representing them to be the stronger medicine ?"—I did, sir. The 48 and Is cures are identical, aren't they ?—No. You advertise 24 remedies. Aren't they all the same ?—No. Can you tell me any other ingredient than sugar and water in these cures ?"— I don't think I need answer that question. Mr McConnell: We need not inquire too deeply into this Mr Randolph Do you know Dr. Dixon, of Toronto ?—Yes. And that he swallowed two dozen of Munyon's stuff to show what he thought of it ? Was there a strong article about Munyon in a certain medical paper ?—Doctors are always jealous of one another, (Laughter.) But Munyon is not a doctor ?—True, but his medicines are such a success that they don't like their patients being taken away. (Laughter.) The Judge You advertised to give away 10,000 samples. Did the public rush for those ?-Rather. We sent out 20,000. The defence was that Munyon instructed Deane to act as he thought best, and to recoup himself out of the sales for any expense he was put to in his position. The jury returned a verdict of Not guilty."

THE TINPLATE TRADE. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—Prices are not quite so firm this week. A line of 18F x 14 cokes was bought at 10s f.o.b. Swausea, which is a reduction upon the transactions of last week. Further quanti- ties were also offered at the same price without finding buyers. Altogether the feeling is quieter, and the impression IS gaining that tower prices way be touched shortly. A good many inquiries have reached us for 14 x 20 fuU-weight cokes, and also for various other sizes both in full and light gauge, but we understand no business has ^R- There IN a marked absence of trading with Canada, which is rather disappoint- ing, seeing that direct shipment closes within a few weeks. Considerable inquiry has been made J in IS>E TRA<^E F°R wasters in C LF>2 x 14 ana 10 x 20 cokes, orders having been placed for good lines at 9s 6d and lis 6d respectively.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN. PAINFUL CASE AT TALYWAIN. A widow named Matilda Jones (31), of Taly- wain. was charged at Pontypool Police Court on Saturday with neglecting her children aged 12, 6, and 5 respectively, and also an illegitimate child aged two months and a half, and further with ill- treating the three eldest in a manner likely to prove injurious to health. Mr L. E. Webb, solicitor, Pontypool, ivho prosecuted for the N.S.P.C.C., stated that. defendant had been in receipt of parish relief until the birth of the youngest child, when she refused to go to the Work- house with her family. P.S. Saunders and P.C. Groves spoke to visiting the house and finding the childen iteglected and ravenous, there being a bruise on the head of one and a sore on the head of another. There was only one bed in a small bedroom, and the meagre covering-a blanket and a quilt—were in a filthy state. The most recent visit of the officers was at midnight, upon hearing the child Philip crying, and on entering they found him wanting to go to bed. Mary Ann, who had just entered the house, said she had gone in search of food to a former lodger's residence. On this occasion defendant denied that there was a man in the house, but on looking into the sole sleeping apartment they SFWL,R ^MI,KE'I man lying across the bed. Accused of having him there for an immoral purpose, she made no reply to the constables, who at her request roused him and saw him off the premises. A next-door neighbour spoke to the ill-treatment of the children. Defeudant said she had no means on y what she received and earned by picking coal Ihe Bench said she had had every oppor- tunity of having the children cared for, but had declined assistance. In June, 1894, she had been sentenced to 14 days' hard labour for ill-treating two children. In the interest of her family she would be committed for two months with hard labour.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' RE SPON SIBILITIE S. MUST SUPPLY TEA AS WELL AS BEER. At the adjourned annual Licensing Sessions U the Newport County Petty Sessional Division ON Saturday, Mrs Harwood, landlady of the New Inn, Chepstow-road, was cited to a.ppea.r because on a recent occasion her daughter, dnrimr hpr Ahpnf"A r-nnlr1 NR\T- ,1- .1. 0 -ww, v. Y WHD Alderman Mordey's request for tea and bread and butter whilst he and some lady friends were out that way The house is five or six miles from Newport, and the daughter was very polite in her refusal. But Mr Mordey said he was refused again at another house only on Saturday last, and he asked the superintendent of police to cite Mrs Harwood to appear, beoause he thought publicans were not aware of their responsibilities. Mr Parnall, solicitor, appeared for the landlady, and said she was absent at the time, and was very sorry that the incident had occurred. The lady herself said she always supplied travellers, but not plea.surers-an unfortunate definition, but not unreasonable, as the alderman and his party were understood to be cycling at the time.—The Magistrates' Clerk (to Mr Mordey) You did not e ask for a glass of water, or you might have been supplied ?—Alderman Mordey The ladies did not want water, nor did I.—Mr E. Lewis (to the landlady) Now, Mrs Harwood, please re- member that you hold a licence for supplying refreshments as well as beer, and that it is part of your business to provide not only travellers but pleasurers with refreshments When you are away from home you are responsible for the acts of those you leave in chitrge.-Tlie Deputy Clerk And if you do not supply refreshments, you are liable to be indicted at the Quarter Sessions.—Mrs Harwood, a matronly specimen of handsome womanhood, retired, promising to get everybody tea or what else they wanted in reason.

THE ABERDARE MARTYRS. The arrangements for the presentation of the addresses to Alderman David Morgan and his co- defendants 011 Thursday NEXT are now practically complete. The procession will start from Llwyd- coed Station at 3.15 p.m., and will proceed to the upper park gates, where it will be met by the contingents from Cwmdare and Penywain. It will then pass through the public park, and if the weather is fine the actual handing over of the addresses, which are beautifully illuminated, will take place in the park, by permission of the Di-tnet Council. On leaving the park the con- tingent from the town, Cwmbach, and Abernant will fall in, and the procession will pass through High-street and Wind-street to the Full Moon, where the processions from Aberaman, Cwm- aman, Capcoch, and Mountain Ash will join and proceed through the town to the market place, where a public meeting will be held at 4 o'clock. It has been resolved that no brakes should form part of the procession, the only vehicle being the open landau in which Alderman D. Morgan and his three co-defendants will ride to and from the procession

POOR-LAW CONFERENCE AT CARNARVON. Judging from remarks which fell from several speakers at the North Wales Poor-law Conference on Friday there seems to be an excellent opening for Welsh-speakiDg nurses in their own country. A paper on Nursing was read by Miss A. B. Evans, daughter of Archdeacon Evans, of St. Asaph, and formerly a guardian of that Union, in which she spoke strongly for the right of patients among the poorer class to be tended by nurses who knew the patients' mother tongue. According to Mr Bircham, the Local Government Board inspector, there was a time when people in North Wales and in some parts of the South would rather be killed by a Welsh-speaking nurse than cured by an Englishwoman. What a triumph for the Welsh Utilisation Society—unless indeed the society itself had been killed by its English nurses.

CARDIFF GUARDIANS AMBITIOUS. A COAT OF ARMS ORDERED. The Workhouse Visiting Committee recom- meuded the guardians to adopt the following minute in their report, which was presented at a meeting of the Cardiff Guardians, held under the chairmanship of liev. J. K. Buckley on Saturday Inasmuch as it appears that no expense is attached to the use of a coat of arms by Boards of Guardians beyond the charges of stationers, the committee recommend that the board adopt a coat of arms similar to that of the borough of Cardiff, but with a distinctive d'ffereuce, designs to be submitted for the committee's approval." The recommendation was adopted without dis- cussion.

THE BAPTIST UNION. Over 1,300 ministers and delegates will this week be attending the autumnal assembly of the Baptist Union in Nottingham. This is a record number.

Ian Maclaren will be one of the speakers at the evening meeting in the Mechanics' Hall. Wed- nesday will be the urst day for business in con- nection with the Baptist Union. At the morn- ing session a resolution will be submitted as to a presentation to the Rev. Dr. Booth, the secre- tary. Thursday will likewise be a full day, and the conference will be brought to a close on Friday. In the evening of Friday a meeting will take place for the exposition and enforcement of Free Church principles, presided over by Mr D. Lloyd George, M.P.
