THE MORMON POSITION. TO THE EDITOR. Sm,-Please allow me to answer the letter of the anti-Mofmon champion, Mr Jones, of the 18th instant. If silence gives con- sent, then your correspondent concedes the first proposition, and we are pleased if he is now able to see that many of the principles and practices of the Gospel of Christ have been ignored by the churches." It is quite evident, too, that he begins to see the weakness of his position on the other points named, since he now resorts to misrepresentation in order to sustain his side of the argument. Nothing whatever was said by me about Joseph Smith and his followers teaching the gospel of some unknown angel." I did not say that an angel appeared unto Joseph Smith directing him to teach my gospel," &c. The Gospel that we teach is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the same that He taught wlieu on earth, and in no sense the gospel of all angel. Therefore, all argument based upon that proposition falls to the ground. To the question-" To whom, and when, did God restore the gospel ?" I answered, To Joseph Smith, who by direct revelation from Jesus Christ organised the Church on the 6th day of April, 1830." In answer to the question as to our acceptance of the Protestant Scriptures, I quoted from a revelation given to the Church in the year 1831, in which revelation the Lord says- The elders, priests, and teachers of this Church shall teach the principles ot My Gospel," &c. Not a word is said about an angel here. And tfce only place where an angel is mentioned was in reference to the reorganised Church continuing <> £ 0 teach the pure principles of the doctrine of, Christ as restored by the angel to Joseph Smith." Nothing is said about any gospel of any angel here. Latterday Saints accept the office work of the Holy Spirit hence believe in. present revela- tion. (See John xiv., xxi., 16, 15.) But your correspondent is certainly wrong when he BAYS The Holy Spirit alone should teach in all matters of doctrine and church organisation for ever." It was to His ministry that Jesus said, Go and teach all nations (Mat. xxviii., 19). If angels are to have no part in this work why was an angel sent to Philip to direct him (Acts vii., 26), and to Cornelius (Acts x., 1), and to John ? (Rev. i, 1). Angels are" ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be the heirs of salvation" (Heb. i, 14). Have they all retired from work ? If the Bible is so very plain why is it that people differ so widely concerning its teachings ? A man must be very narrow-minded, as well as lacking in charity, to say all the fault is with man. For men equally educated, as well as honest and devout, study the Scriptures and arrive at very different conclusions concerning its teachings. The facts are, the Bible did not come to us direct from God in our own language, inasmuch as uninspired men had to translate it into our own language. It is but reasonable that there should be errors in it on account of incorrect translations. During the Dark Ages the Church became very corrupt, and we have cause to believe that even the Scriptures did not escape entirely from the contaminating touch of this corrupt Church. All of God's Word is not found between the covers of the Bible. The Bible names some 20 books that we cannot find. In view of all this, why should Christian people object to God bringing to light His Word given to another people, and which, being translated by God's power, would therefore be more free from error and calculated to give them a better understanding of the Gospel of Christ and be the means of bringing about that unity of the faith which all true Christians are praying for ? But let us be truthful and honest in our examinations, and then the seeming "falsity and absurdity" of those who have the truth will soon disappear. —I am, &c., F. G. PITT.

FLUX AND GREASE. TO THE EDITOK. SIB,—The article on flux in your issue of last Wednesday is rather mieleading in some respects. For instance flux and grease cannot be mixed as a coating medium it must be all flux or all grease. Again, as to the deleterious effects of flux having been disposed of. I work at a Thomas machine, and "I candidly say that the plate produced by this machine is better in appearance than anything that can be produced by the grease process with a like expenditure of tin. But all flux-coated plates attract the mois- ture of the atmosphere, and the result is rust. Are tinplate makers aware of the fact that flux destroys the structure of the tin ? They should en- deavour to get flux with the least possible chemical action. The workman has to suffer for it as the flux used gives off copious fumes at the tempera- ture necessary to coat the steel plate. Flux can be got which does not give off an excess of fumes at a like temperature, but makers will not use the better flux as it costs more. The workman has to feed the trashy flux with water. Of course, the element chlorine acts better in the presence of water, The vapours that arise have an irritaut effect upon the mucous surface of the breathing organs, which are more or less in a state of suppuration, to say nothing about the auxiliary effects OF tin smoke and the lime dust used to clean the plate and the hydrogen from the sulphuric acid contained in the water with which the flux is fea.—I am, &c., LIVE AND LET LIVE.

LLANDRINDOD WELLS RECREATION GROUND. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-Many of the visitors to Llandrindod Wells, who have been conversant for years with its development and history, are surprised to observe the apathetic state of the residents con- cerning the maintenance of their rights and privi- leges. This is the case with reference to an allotment called the Recreation Ground, awarded to the parishioners of Cefn Llys by the Enclosure Com- I missioners some twenty years ago. The trustees elected at that time to take charge of the ground were the Cein Llys churchwardens an:1 the parish overseers for the time being. Since the passing of the Parish Council Act we presume that the Urban District Council has taken over the trusteeship of the ground. At any rate, they have, rightly or wrongly, assumed ownership, and partly shut out the inhabitants from their privi- leges, by granting to a private individual for all annual sum of money the exclusive right of enclosing the most central and best piece of ground for lawn tennis courts, and kept under lock and key for the favoured few. The question naturally arises, particularly to those residents who have had to purchase at a very high figure extra ground to provide their own lodgers and visitors;with facilities for outdoor amusements, why it is that one person, and a comparative stranger, should have these favours bestowed at the cost of the rights of all the rest of the inhabitants ? Let the Urban Council answer the question. The Urban District Council no doubt thought they had power and authority to do so. But have they ? The cha,irma,n and clerk of every Urban Council are supposed to possess superior special knowledge and to be its natural leaders but if the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch '—I am, &c., PRO BONO PUBLICO.

THE CHURCHES. On Saturday evening, at St. John's Church, Ton, Canon Williams, of Carmarthen, opened A week's church mission services in connection with the parish of Ystradyfodwg. The Calvinistic Methodists of Cowbricige have invited the R- v. J. James, of Builth Wells, to become their pastor, and we understand he has accepted. He is a powerful preacher in both languages. On Monday, at Zoar Welsh Calvinistic Metho- dist Chapel, Mgesvewmrner, the induction took place of the new pastor, the Rev. D. Lloyd, ex- student of Trevecca College. Addresses were. delivered by the Rev. Aaron Davies, Barry, and the Rev. J. Evans, Abercarn.

NEGLECTING HIS FAMILY. BARRY PILOT SENT TO PRISON. Before Alderman R. Cory and, Mr R. Bird in the Second Police Court at Caraiff on Monday, J. Cunningham (40), formerly a pilot at Barry, was, charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and three children, who were chargeable to the Cardiff Union. Mr Pritchard, warrant officor, said the defendant's family had been practically chargeable since 1896. Defendant was sent to prison in July, 1896, for the neglect, end he after- wards promised to come to terms with his wife. From that time to the present he had only sent his wife JE2. Some six weeks ago defendant found work at Port Talbot, His wife found him, and he ga,ve her £ 3. The family Was in receipt of out-relief. Two of the chil- dren were now at work, but besides the two younger another had been born, which defendant had never seen. The family had cost the Union more than X50. Prisoner told the Bench he -had been unable to get work, but Mr Pritchard said that was not so. It was a bad case, and he feared the defendant would abscond if he got the chance. The Bench sent Cunningham to two months hard labour, and ordered the money found on bim to be confiscated.

A MANIA FOR SUICIDE. SUCCEEDED AT THE SEVENTH ATTEMPT. At Hammersmith Mr Drew held an inquiry concerning the death of Joanna Elizabeth Rogers-Carstairs, aged 60 years, the widow of a gentleman of independent means: who was found dead in bed from poisoning in A private boarding-house at 39, Maclise-road, West; Kensington. Miss Louisa Rogers, a lady of independent means, residing at 20, Westmoreland-road, Bays- water, said tlie-deceolsed, her mother, was the; widow of Alexander Rogers, but she took the' name of Carstairs by deed-poll on coining into property from that family. Witness last saw her a week ago, when she was greatly depressed, imagining that she was in great difficulty with regard to money matters. That was greatly exaggerated. Deceased suffered from sleepless- ness, and frequently took chloral. Deceased told her it had been her mania from childhood to take her own life, and six times previously she had, attempted suicide. The letter produced was in deceased's handwriting. It was addressed to witness and read :— Dearest Louisa.God bless and prosper you and all my dear ones, and help you in in what I know will be a terrible blow but I feel impelled by a destiny that I cannot withstand. It is stronger than I can resist. I have prayed earnestly for grace to be-able to surmount it, and that a way may open up out of my terrible troubles, but no way is shown to mke my life possible. Oh,dearest Louisa, I am not wanting in affection for any of my belongings but I cannot help,it, and wish to express my earnest hopes and belief that, in humanity and sympathy for my poor afflicted; Joey, Fergus and Simpson will send for her each month what they had promised to me and that,, with the interest of her own small funds, will enable her to be boarded and clothed, &c.,com- fortably for the rest of her life. I am too emo- tional to write more except to beg of you to say to my beloved and good mother what will comfort her the best. God bless you each and all, and behove me in thanks for all your goodness to me, your loving mother, J. R. C. You will let your brothers knotv my earnest wishes regarding Joey. For many months this lias seemed my only escape; only I have hoped and prayed but there is nothing else to hope for now. G,(id knows how I have prayed. I hope He will forgive me." Witness explained that Joey was her in- 'ne valid sister, and the others her brothers. The Comte de Valhermey, of Chesterton-road, West Kensington, a friend of the family, also spoke as to the deceased having threatened suicide. She was formerly very wealthy, but lately was peculiar and depressed. She was mad on the question of suicide," but told him she could not help it. Dr. Denne said death was due to chloral poisoning. She had taken a large dose, and a bottle which had contained 240 grains was found by him in her room. He saw the letter and empty glass on the table by her side. The Jury returned & verdict of Suicide whilst of unsound mind."

ZARA'S ROMANCE. THE BEAUTIFUL ARABIAN GIRL." A remarkable and romantic will case lately concluded in Pittsburg, U.S.A., recalls to mind Ziara, the beautiful Arab girl, who seems, from the Royal Aquarium records (writes a Horning Leader reporter) to have appeared in London in 1885 The I!lara of the will case was born in Am- sterdam, and, her parents having died, the little Regina Swab was adopted by Louis Susman, a pawnbroker (also of Amsterdam), and when quite a tiny child appeared in the circus ring. Susman, as well as being a pawnbroker was the chief of a small troupe of acrobats, and the child grew up and was billed as Zara, the beautiful Arabian girl," travelling round with the troupe, consist- ing of Susman, his wife, an adopted son, Jacob by name, and Zara herself. They stayed in Europe for 11 years, and in 1862 went over to America. In 1868 Zara, 19 and beautiful, married Abram Jacobs, known on the stage as Leon Prevost, and came with him to England. Londoners may re- member a performer of the name of Prevost ful- filling an engagement at the Westminster Aquarium in 1885,in July and again in November of that year M a vocal and instrumental enter- tainment. He was also a cornetist and post-horn player. Zara herself seems to have appeared at the same place in October, 1885, for a fortnight as au acrobat and contortionist. At all events, at that time a performer of that name was there. CIJAIM TO MONEY. Mr Louis Susman died in 1896 at Pittsburg, but left no will regarding the disposal of his fortune of 76,000 dollars. Of course, a number of rela- tives turned up to claim the money, and Zara— Mrs Regina Jacobs—retained a prominent Pitts- burg attorney, who wrote to the Amsterdam police, and found that in 1851 Susman had exe- cuted a. writing stating that he had adopted Regina Swab, and agreed to provide for her. ¡ The case was tried twice, witnesses testifying that Susman had always introduced and treated Zara as his daughter. The Judge stated that she was clearly entitled to share in the estate. ANOTHER FORTUNE. Mrs Susman died last year, and left a separate fortune of nearly 100,000 dollars, so that Zara, once an "arena queen," is now possessed of a comfortable fortune. LUCKY THIRTEEN. To people who believe that ill-luck is attached to the number 13 it may be of interest to know that this case, which turned out so well for Mrs Jacobs, is a curious combination of 13's. It began on 13th May and a verdict on the second trial was reached on 13th August. The case was settled on 13th Sept, and che executors' cheque was 13. Mr Susman lived and died at 13, Wylie-avenue, and Zara and her husband are now living at 2,113, Webster-avenue, in the Thirteenth Ward, Pittsburg. It will be remembered that Leon Prevost was engaged by Mr Oswald Stoll, and appeared at the Empire some six or seven years ago, playing the cornet and posthorn.

THE ESCAPED CONVICT. SMITH SENT BACK TO PRISON. At North London Police Court (before Mr Bros) George Smith (20) was charged on remand with loitering at Highbury with intent to commit a felony. As already stated, the prisoner-who gave the name of Lev;rence-after being charged was identified as the man who had escaped from Pen- tonville Prison, and about whom many more or less sensational rumours had been afloat. But, though he had escaped from the prison, he was not the violent character some persons supposed. When in the dock he presented the appearance of a well-fed, smiling youth, with a mind wholly free from care. Chief Warder Thornton came with a message from the Governor of the gaol, asking for Smith to be handed over to him to be dealt with as all is escaped prisoner. Mr Bros: Very well. I will discharge him from the present charge of loitering if you assure me that he is the man who escaped. The Warder I know him as the man Smith who was committed to prison for 15 months. Here is the committal order, Mr Bros: You are satisfied that he is the man ? The Warder Yes, I saw him at work in the prison. Mr Bros (to the prisoner): What have you to say ? The Prisoner (smiling): Oh, that's all right. Mr Bros You are discharged from the accusa- tion of loitering, and surrendered to the authori ties as an escaped prisoner. Smith was then taken away in a cab, and the man who was charged in his company with loiter- ing was again remanded for inquiries.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS FIELD DAY. On Saturdav.a very successful field day took place in Shirehampton Park, near Clifton, in which the cadet corps of five sekools took part- Cheltenham, Clifton, Brean, Malvern, and Marl- borough. The general idea was that an invading army had landed at Avonmouth and had sent for- ward an advanced guard, represented by the Marlborough and Malvern Corps, to seize the high ground in the park, feel for the enemy, and ascertain his probable force and position. On the other side were a defending force of the Cheltenham, Clifton, and Brecon Corps, with orders to seize the same heights if possible, to delay the enemy's advance, and at all hazards to prevent an advance on Bristol before reinforce- ments could come up. The invading force advanced from the west gate of the park, preceded by cyclists as scouts, and made for the high ground—Malvern on the right and Marlborough on the left. Meanwhile the de- fenders also advanced, leaving behind No. 2 Company of Cheltenham to prepare the bridges in rear for demolition and entrenchments on the further side. The advance parties consisted of the Brecon Company on the left, and No. I Com- pany of Clifton on the right, while the main body —No. 2 Clifton and No. 1 Cheltenham-occupied a good position in support, just short of the high ground. When the two forces came into contact most of the Brecon Company were caught in a gully, and their covering party-on the left being driven in, had to retire. This also caused the retirement of the right wing, who were holding their own against the attack of Marlborough, and both re- formed in line with the main body. Later on this also had to retire, but had not reached the river before the close of operations denoting the arrival of the expected reinforcements. The usual march past took place on Dardliain Down, as an interlude in the march to Clifton College, where-both forces sat down to tea. THE commanders were—of the Blue or attack- ing force, Captain Lyon, of Malvern and of the Red, or defending, Captain Eve, of Marlborough. Umpire in chief, Colonel Curton, commanding the 28th Regimental District. As a matter of more local interest we may notice that from the umpire's report the Brecon Company, composed of the masters and boys of Christ College, Brecon, worthily maintained the honour of the Principality andof the uniform they-wore-that of the South Wales Borderers, Jate 24th. the heroes of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana.

THE "PUNCH" CARTOON. WINDOW BREAKING BY AN ANGRY IRISHSIAN. We have a good deal of sympathy with.that .Irishman.(says the Daily Chronicle). We do not mean Mr Redmond, who was saying on Saturday tnat in the event of a wa-r-between the United Kingdom and France,heland would be entirely on the side of France. We do not believe it, and ifit were true we should deeply regret it But the Irishman we sympathise with is the man /.who broke "Mr Punch's" window in Fleet- street as a protest against last week's cartoon The Punch cartoons have long been a delight .and sometimes an inspiration to us all. In foreign affairs the comic aspect has, of course been shown where it was a case of comedy but as a rale the treatment has been diyniiied and studiously careful. Unfortunately the present momeit in our relations v'ith France is not a time for comedy, and to represent a courageous sol- .dier as a monkey on a bairel-organ which the French nation plays is not dignified, or careful,or even comic. The whole conception of the cartoon, drawing, and words and all shows John Bull just at his very worst. That is the sort of thing which makes us hated by Irishmen as well as others. It is illegal to break windows, but that Irishman has our sympathy," as the popular song says. INTERVIEW WITH MR RUSSELL. A-correspondent writes :—Mr Thomas O'Dwyer Russell is a member ol the Royal College of Physicians, Ireland, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, and practises in Manchester. Six years ago he was well known in Fleet-street, and took a prominent pare in the discussions of an old-established debating society. Mr Russell was released from Bride- well at 9 o'clock on Saturday night on bail. In 'the course of an interview he said :—" I was passing through London on my way from Ports- mouth to my homo at Manchester at about 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, and mv attention waa attracted to the windows of the Punch office by a number of persons gazing at the cartoon of .the current issue. I looked at it and found what I considered was a great insult to the illustrious French Army and nation. When I saw Sir John Tenniel's vile cartoon I remembered all the great things that the French nation and army had done for the cause of freedom and civilisation, and also remembered what a great friend that nation had been to my own poor country—Ire- land—when she had few friends and then my indignation was so great that as a protest I aimed at the cartoon with the handle of my umbrella. The force of the blow broke the window, and the handle fell inside, but the body of the umbrella remained in my hand. A crowd quickly gathered, .and on a policeman arriving several persons cried, ,oab I I saw him do it.' I shouted 'Vive la. France!' when I had broken the window, and explained to the policeman that there was no necessity for him to obtain any witnesses as the offence would be fully admitted. When I was charged at Bride- well I did admit what I had done, and told the officer on duty that the cartoon was a disgraceful thing to have come from the hand of Sir John Tenniel, but that I also regretted that it was necessary to emphasise a protest in such a manner. At the station I was treated with the greatest civility and kindness, and twice during the day I was visited by Mr Frank Hugh O'Don- nell, ex- who very kindly interested himself in my behalf. I had not known him before, but he knew that it was my feelings as an Irishman that had got me into the position I was in." With considerable warmth Mr Russell added I am only one of thousands of Irishmen who are willing to shed their blood for the honour of the tricolour flag." and he concluded with the following quotation For every drop of blood we spent Did not that nag give value plenty 7 Were not our children as they went Jocund to join the warriors' tent, Soldiers at ten, heroes at twenty." Mr Russell emphatically denied that his action was the outcome of a desire for notoriety, and reiterated that he acted purely on the spur of the moment, being carried away by his feelings. POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS. NEW LIGHT ON PRISONER'S CONDUCT. A REMAND ORDERED. At the Mansion House Police Court (before the Lord Mayor) Thomas O'Dwyer Russell,physician of 87, Rusholme-road, Manchester, wa,s charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass in a shop window by striking it with an umbrella at Punch office, Fleet-street, the property of Messrs Brad- bury, Agnew, and Co., and thereby doing damage to the extent of 14 10s The case was called at a quarter-past 11, but defendant, who had been bailed, was not then in attendance. He came into court, however, at the half-hour, when other business was in progress. When defendant's name was called he stepped to the front of the dock. P.C. Spiller, of the City force, deposed that at a quarter to 11 on Saturday morning he heard someone banging a window in Fleet- street. Going across he saw defendant striking the window at Punch office. Someone at the same time called Vive la France Witness said to defendant, You have broken the window, and I shall take you into custody." Defendant said, Yes, I have done it." Defendant was sober. Defendant was aaked by the Lord Mayor if be bad any question to put. He replied, No, sir." accompanviug the words with a motion of his gloved hand. Edward Shorland, a clerk at Punch office, formally proved the damage. Defendant again declined to cross-examine. The Lord Mayor Have you anything to say ? Defendant (calmly and almost iVLaudibly) I did it under protest against a blackguard cartoon reflecting on the honour of the French nation and the French Army. The Lord Mayor: Is there anyone here for defendant ? A Voice Yes. Defendant (interrupting) It was a disgrace for Sir John Tenniel to go and draw such a thing. The person who had answered from the back of the court now entered the witness-box. He gave the name of John Alfred Giles, and described himself as a reporter. He testified to defendant's good character, having known him for 20 years. The Lord Mayor (to defendant) I shall re- -mand you until to-morrow week in custody. This wa.s the act of a lunatic. Defendant was accordingly removed below. After his disappearance, the Lord Mayor, addressing the reporters, said I have received a telegram from the Mayor of Limerick stating that this man is eccentric and irresponsible. A Voice That gentleman is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. His Lordship I have also had handed to me a letter from his wife. This communication having been privately read by the Lord Mayor, was given to the police. A few minutes later Mr J. B. Matthews, solicitor, addressed the Bench with the object of raising the question of bail, and explained to his Lordship that he had been unavoidably pre- vented from attending earlier. The Lord Mayor explained to Mr Matthews that he had declined to give bail in consequence of certain communications which had reached him. He had only one object in view. The proceedings then ended somewhat noisily, an attempt at a demonstration in the main entrance being instantly quelled.

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS AT BARRY. The Rev. C. H, Shave, of Barry, pastor of the English Congregational Church at that place has instituted a movement among working men I for providing pleasant Sunday afternoons. A body of working men manage the arrangements, and the meetings held at the Romilly Hall each Sunday are being attended by large numbers, fully 580 being present last Sunday. The Barry I Male Voice Party, conducted by Mr Rowlands. sang several choruses, and Mr F. Trenchara, a local tenor singer. gave ati effective rendering. of LI The Holv City." Dr. Percy Smith presided The Rev. C. H. Shave then delivered a lecture on Religion and Socialism," and after deploring the fact that a Labour Church had been necessary and as being a standiug rebuke to the Christian Ch arches that working men Were not wanted, said that this was to him an indication that class distinctions were stepping into our religious life. Religion was for humanity—all man- kind. Socialism was often termed a "levelling," but it did not mean anything like' hat it meant equality of opportunity. This equality would not, he maintained,, take away the inequality of moral worth. Equality of wealth could never be made to take the place of equality 'of moral worth, which was the essence of true religion.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS. [FKOM MONDAY'S "MARK LANE EXPKESS."] The French markets continue to believe in peace, and there is only 6d rise per quarter on the week at Paris, and 9d at Marseilles. In Eng- land there has been a notable change since Wed- nesday, when information, if so it can be called, leaked out concerning intrigues of the Khedive with France, and at to-day's market the French Yellow Book created a very uneasy impression. At Mark-lane all articles were held for a definite advance, which if not pushed beyond a shilling did not check sales. English wheat was in very good request, and scarcely anything was to be had under 30s per qupjter. Foreign wheat, at Is rise, had a specially good sale for white sorts. Barley was IS up for feeding sorts, but malting was not more than firm at previous currencies. Oats wrre fid up for English, and Is dearer for American and Canadian. Maize was 6d up. Beans and peas Is, and rye 25 per quarter. The latter is hardly to be had from abroad, so that English is in request. Oilseeds are only is per quarter dearer on the week.

GLAMORGAN POLICE. ADDITIONAL MEN ASKED FOR. The annual special meeting of. the Standing Joint Committee the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions and Com Council was held at the County Offices, Cardm. on Monday. Mr O. H. Jones presided, and there was a large attendance. The most important subject dealt wIth was the report of the Chief Constablo. who asked for an augmentation to the colice force in the county of one inspector, two sergeants, and 25 constables. The Chief Constable said that the augmentations asked for might appear rather large, but if tbe committee would take into consideration the- enormous railway, dock, and colliery develop- ments throughout the county during the last 12 months the application might not appear unrea- sonable. In the Llandaff Petty Sessional Divi- sion an inspector should be appointed instead of only having a sergeant at Llandaff, as at present. An additional man should also be appointed to be available for both Llandaff and Whitchurch beats. The Head Constable further recommended the appointment of an additional man at Pen- arth, the seven men and inspector now there being insufficient owing to the rapid growth of the district called Morristovvu. An addi- tional constable was also asked for for Merthyr, Aterdare, Bedli. :u', Treharris, Aber- cynon, Pontrbondda, Gelli, Heclfaeh, Treorkv, xJriagend, Pontycymmer, Cwmllvrynfeli, Aber- gwynfi, Caerau (Maestegj, Brvn, Portevnon, New- ton, Caerphilly, Senghenvdd, Hengoed. and three additional men for Port Talbot and Aberavon, and a sergeant instead of an acting-sergeant at Merthyr Walter Morgan asked what the additional cost to the county would be if all these recommendations were adopted. The Clerk stated that it would be covered by a farthuv rate. In a further report the Chief Constable characterised the following as indispensable:- Bedlmog, Abercynon, Gelli, Treharris, Bryn, Caerau (M&ssteg), Newton (Gowerj, Morristovvn (Penarth), Hengoed, Llandaff, Senghenvdd Aber- avon (2), Pontrhoudda.

BURGLARY AT SWANSEA. One of the most daring robberies perpetrated in Swansea for a considerable time was com- mitted on Sunday evening at 100, Bryn-road, the residence of Mr and Mrs C. Standish. Mr Standish has been for some years the organist a.t St. Paul's, and with his wife left the house to go to church a few minutes before half-past 5, the only other occnpant at the time being the servant. The latter went out about half an hour afterwards, and was careful, she avers, to fasten the front door after her. The first to ascertain that the house had been entered wa.s Mr Siandish's little 10 year old son, who sings in the choir at St. Gabrie'ls. The little fellow returned home from the church, which ia only a short distance away, about 8 o'c^ck. The front door was then open, and on'Pntering someone was heard moving about in the rooms in the upper part of the house. The boy thought that bis parents had returned before him, and was terrified a second or two later to see a strange man come running down over the stairs. On his father and mother returning he told them that there had been a man in the house. A glance sufficed to show Mr Standish that his son's statement was only too well founded, fortheplace had been turned entirely upside down. Every room was in a topsy-turvy condition practically every drawer, cupboard, and box in the house had been broken open, and their contents littered the floors of the apartments, and afforded ample evi- dence of the thoroughness with which the burglar had made his searh. An examination was then made, and revealed the fact that many articles of value had been carried off. These included a beautiful gold watch and chain, presented to Mrs Standish about 15 years ago by the members of St. Paul's Church, a pair of valuable gold brace- lets set with rubies, one of them containing a large carbuncle, an old-fashioned gold ring, to which was attached a square piece of gold with a brilliant in the centre, a silver bracelet, a crescent brooch, and other articles of minor value. Infor- mation of the robbery has been given to the police, who are inquiring into the matter.

A NEWPORT INVALID AT WESTON. FINED FOR DRUNKENNESS. Thomas H. Howell, a well-dressed young man from Newport, appearad before the Weston- super-Mare magistrates on Monday charged with beinq drunk whilst in charge of a horse and trap on the previous Saturday evening. From the evidence it appeared that the defendant has been under medical care for some time, and was living at Congresburv with Alfred Box, who was looking after him in the capacity of a friend. On Saturday morning they drove into Weston, and after dinner at a restaurant, where they had a. bottle of ale, they visited the Victoria Hotel, where Box left defendant. In the evening he heard the defendant had been driving about the town. The police and other witnesses said the defendant was not capable of looking after the horse and trap. He was drunk and driving furiously. The defendant said he had driven out a lady and a, little boy during the day, and he could call them if he chose to prove that he waa sober. The Chairman said it was very strange that defendant should have been left alone as he bad been. The magistrates imposed a fine of 301 or 14 days' imprisonment.

MI Bryant served two years at the Cardiff Univer- sity College.

LLANELLY COUNTY COURT. At the Llanelly County Court on Monday an action wa.s brought against Davies Bros bicycle uealers, of the Arcade, by H. A. Dickinson, of Andrew-street, in behalf of his son, for £4 19s 6d, as follows :-£2 17s Sd in respect of payment for a oicycle sold to him, and £2 2s for detention of the machine since September 10th. Mr Walton represented plaintiff, whose son was formerly in defendants' employ. The value of the machine, it was said, was £11108 6d. and in instalments £2 17s 6d had been paid. When the young ma.n left the defendants' employ they refused to let him take away the bicycle. The defence, as put forward by Mr Walter Davies, was that the machine was hired for 3s a week, and the pay- ments spoken of represented tbe hirin fees, which were lower than those usually charged, because the youth was an employee. A verdict was giver for the plaintiff.—Thomas Edwards, china and earthenware dealer, Llaneilv, sued Richard Rowlands, collier, Carwav, near Pont- yeates, for damages by reason of defendant depnving him of the use of a pony and loss of business in consequence, £2; deterioration of pony owing to ill-treatment, £3. The case ia that on one Saturday night when plaintiff, unharnessed the horse in Pontyeates defendant jumped upon its back and rode to Carway as quickly as possible. Going up a hill on the way defendant dismounted and struck and kicked the horse. As a result the animal became very stiff, and bed to be put out to grass for a fortnight The plaintiff was represented by Mr Plews, barrister-at law (instructed by Mr Howell) and he obtained a verdict for JE3 and costs.-Evan Treharne, hairdresser, Swansea-road, was the aefendant in an action brought bv T'hnr»a<j Roberts, Upper Park-street, for recovery of £ 10, value of an English silver tabby," which had been useful in the extermination of vermin from is garden, and belonged to a breed for single specimens of which £ 100 had been paid. The cat was killea by aciendant's dog. For plaintiff Mr T Jo«ey ^Keared, and for defendant Mr Ludford. The defencs was that the cat was the aggressor, and jumped twice upon the dog'? back. ilis Honour gave a, verdict for defendant, with costs.

A DISOHDERLY NEGRESS. At Cardiff Second Police Court on Monday Ellen Johnson (28), a »egress, was charged with being drank and disorderly in Broadway. When she was coming up into the dock she shouted to the officer, Don't Hush me down, or I II hit you in the eye. Keep your hands off me, or I'll go for you, even if you are au. cfficor." On being hauled up she admitted taking a drop too much, and said she had walked fiom WolyerhamptoD, Bristol, and Newport, looking for her husband. She said if she were let off she would go back to Wolverhampton, where she had uncles and aunts and relatives. After a suggestion that a week would do her good, the Bench let her off. and in voluble terms she promised to clear away from the-town.

ETHEL MAGGIE SIMMONS. Here is a nice little baby. of which any mother ) might justly be proud. We love to see nice fat babies. We know that when a baby is fat it is usually well. The name of the little baby, whose photograph we here reproduce, is Ethel Maggie Simmons. She was seven months old when the above photo- graph was taken. When she was born she was a delicate little thing, and was a great sufferer from flatulency and indigestion, as told by her mother in the following letter— 44, Cambridge-street, Tanbridge Wells, j July 18th. 1898. Dear Sirs,—I have much pleasure in stating that Scott's Emulsion has done my baby a j wonderful amount of good. When she was born she was a tiny, delicate baby, and suffered from flatulency and indigestion. We did not think we should rear her. She did nothing but cry for the first three months. I tried many things, but could get nothing to do her good, until a friend of mine advised me to try Scott's Emulsion. I com- menced with half a teaspoonful three times a day, and soon found it was doing her good, and now although sha is only seven months old, she has so far improved that she is a plump strong child. I consider Scott's Emulsion a most valuable preparation, and shall never lose an opportunity of recommenaing it to all who are weak, and hope that many who will read this will be induced to give it a- trial—J remain, dear sirs, yours sin- cerely (signed) Mrs M. SIMMONS." When you consider what Mrs Simmons says, namely, that her baby was born very delicate, and then glance at the photograph taken at seven months Old,' Lfter the baby had undergone a treatment of Scott's Emulsion, we think you can only draw one conclusion. That is, that Scott's EmulsioD- is a most effectual preparation in over- coming disturbances of digestion in children, and nourishing them into a plunap and robust growth. Children love the taste of Scott's Emulsion, which makes its administration easy. If you have a baby or growing child suffering from indigestion or any phase of emaciation or wasting, you will find Scott's Emulsion the best, remedy you can employ. Its results are immedi- ate, and it contains absolutely no harmful or dangerous drugs. You can obtain a sample of Scotfs Emulsion by sending 3d to cover postage to Scott and Chemists, 95, Great Saffron Hill. London, E C J.- „ sion. sion. 7601 gfPLENDID s ERIAL jgTORY OF GREAT JNTEREST.

ILLUSTRATED FASHIONS. Hats are not nearly so easily adapted to the present upward curve from the front as might be imagined it seems a simple enough thing to do, but if you set to work with this idea in your mind "the result is likely to be eminently unsatisfactory To begin with, the brim requires to be consider- ;ably narrower at the back than in the front, or else the efiect is apt to resemble a coalheaver's headgear. Then again a band of some sort of canvas covered with velvet graduating away from the front to the sides is very necessary to pre- serve the flowers, bows, feathers, or whatsoever trimming you may elect to put beneath the brim, from your hair. Some heads require this to be A good deal wider than others, therefore individual discrimination must be practised. The little hat sketched here is from a French model, and at first appearance the felt would seem to be nothing more nor less than a sailor with its brim caught up in front; this, however, is not the case; the brim has a good deal more spring," and would not look well at all if turned down. The bow underneath is made of the ribbed velvet which is being so largely used just now for bows and folds, and its tint is beetle-wing blue-green the straw itself being a dark blue, and the bird's A FRENCH HAT. wings (which are tied by a knot of the velvet) are chiefly blue-green, though some of the plumage is just touched with a soft amber. Sleeves are occupying an enormous amount of attention at the present moment. They are very skimpy and tight-fitting, but nevertheless they show considerable elaboration of treatment. Many of the smart kinds end at the elbow and have deep ruches of lace below, but these are hardly the fashions that will be adopted for every. day wear, at any rate until winter has gone and spring has set in securely Chiffon ruches still play their part on sleeves. I show a pretty sleeve here having the effect of four little capes at the top, though it is really only one piece of silk with four chinon ruches .the wrist is trimmed with three bands of ruches pointing upwards, edged with a frill which in turn is bordered with a tiny inching. The sleeve next to it is one very suit- able for giving a touch of lightness to a winter woollen it is cut out somewhat after the design LOF the classical key pattern, edged with a fine metallic galon, and reveals beyond a soft puffing of silk either white or the same colour as the ""I ,n1. o. n1a;nø1'" mA.IrA of s.IAAv t\nA aress. IUCU «.F;™™ which might be copied for mourning wear, as these folds would serve well for the introduction of crepe, but for plain silks it would also be admirable, and it is a sleeve that commends itself to the middle-aged as well as to the voutnful wearer, The striped silk sleeve next to it has three distinct little capes of plaiu velvet trimmed with an applique of chenille and jet, and edged with well pinked-out frills of GIAC ?;LK- TBSSE are finished off with a SOME FASHIONABLE SLEEVES. buckle in the front.

The last sleeve, like the third, I can particularly recommend for mourning, but of a deeper character. The place of crepe can well be taken by soft military braid fastened with buttons to match on the outside of the Everybody is, of course, busy getting cloth and serge dresses, foe the most part investing in brown and the soft shade of magenta, though here and there a mushroom-tinted velvet and Dutch-tile blue makes its appearance. These are all very well for ordinary wear, but wise people are begin- ning to think a little ahead—of afternoon teas, weddings, and such festivities whien they will have to grace in a little more studied avtire. A VISITING TOILETTE. Amongst those that are being prepared I note a great tendency towards Princess dresses, not necessarily those worn without a Waistband, but MADE to have the effect of the bodice and skirt being cut in one, and with separate fronts and underskirts, which show considerably under the curved-awav sides of the upper parts. The accom- panying illustration explains something of the design, which I think will be very popular. It is made on a black silk foundation covered vvitJi an accordeon-pleated grenadine, which however does not look as thin and flimsy as the term WOULD lead one to suppose. It is one of those thicker makes which over a firm foundation HAS all the effect of solid silk. It has three or four rows of gaging across the front, and this is re- peated at the bust; the other part, or Princess robe, is made of a' very handsome brocaded velvet and chenille, cosy enough to produce the effect of a mantle, if worn with a hat when a WARM wrap has been discarded for indoors. A -very smart muslin jabot finishes off the neck, and another forms the background to the big black- TTA which is placed against the tilted-up hat, whilst a thick ruche of chiffon gees all the way ronnthe front of the robe, and forms a finish to the little epaulets over the sleeves.
