SCIENCE IN THE COLONIES. A GREAT AUSTRALIAN DISCOVERY Australia, the land of gold, has given to the world a great number of marvt llous things, but a: discovery in that wonderful country marie hy a chemist and scientist Mr Cliati s Fcide, will ,,r haps do more go, d to the world yent-ra ly than all the gold Australia ever h;¡8, or ever il produce. The discovery is of a natural vegetahl- >ubstanca that has the peculiar property of ac ii g in the process of digt-sfion the same as K;;¡:ur.s own animal Bile. iNIr Forde, reali,ing the gr.¡t value of this discovery and the boot. ic would be to the millions of digestion sufferers who (accord ii.g to the regular medical science to date) were mal tyr to pepsin, bismuth, starving, and purging, decided to spare no expense in perfecting this remedy to make it a cure for all digestion troubl-s and their attendant ailments. The result of his exp. ri- menting was the addition of some eight other in- gredients, and the whole b> in>f ti led Bil" Beans. a name given to sxpte-s exactly what the prep,.ra- tion was "A Bean f-)r the Biie." The expens ana care in perfecting ai d comf n ssing his pre paration to the size of a small Leall has b, t-n very great, but the result has been a small "val bean thac the smallest child can take with ea-e, and a medicine of which last ear the consumption reached some thirty mil iotit4 of (lost-a in Australia alone, rich and poor alike being th, friends of this marvellous specific. The con>umptio to date has nearly baffled the b, s,, efforts of tile proprietors, their laboratories woiking night and day to mt-et the demand. Bile Beans have been found an undoubted cure for headache, bili- us- ness, influenza, constipation, piles, liver trouble, bad breath, rheumatism, indigestion, dizziness, palpitation, buzzing in the Ilcad, fulness after eating, loss of ambition, debility, anaemia, female ailments and irregularities, pimples, and a host of other ailments that owe their origin to defective bile flow, assimilation, and digestion. They are aLo of great sel vice in nervous disorders, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, blotches on the skin, insomnia, and troubled sleep They ac quickly in restoring females to health, and for a general aperient and tonic remedy they are un- equalled. These beans are placed on the market in such a form that anyone can take them withcut medical supervision and, as the price is so very low, ther are few hemes that cannot afford to always have a box on the shelf for emergency. If you are unwell, and would like to know whether Bile Beans are suitable for your c-se, you tiny write to the proprietors, the Bile Bean Manu- facturing Co, 119 and 120, London Wall.

It is also stated that as soon as notice was given the people moved away, and when they wished to remain they generally took a house. The ad- visability of dealing with them more effectively was discussed, and it was agreed that the owners be communicated with in reference to the matter.—A statement was produced by the Clerk of the receipts and expenditure, together with the estimate of expenditure d the com- mittee and inasmuch as there had been no small p ox outbreak, Councillor Smith-Jones asked that an explanation be given when the information was obtained, why £13 14s 6d append in the expenditure under that bead, and niso why there was all item for disinfec- tants, when it bad been declared at the b, gin- ning of the ha'f year that there was sufficient in ,tock to last ix it,oi:thi ?

NOTES BY ATHLETE. The first match of the season came off last Saturday. It was a trial match between those ambitious clubs-the Cadoxton Rovers and Juniors. The game was played on the Rovers' new field at the the top of Crogan Hill, and the sides played to a finish, although having to battle with persistent rain. As a test match it could not be taken seriously, everything being against the players. • • An amusing incident happened, however. The ground is bounded on one side by a cab- bage patch, in the occupation of a fierce old mar. with a wooden leg. Once or twice the ball went into this ground, and there is no doubt that during the season this will occur again to the damage of the cabbageg. The old man stood on his plot, and very rightly, I think, refused to sjive back the ball in the first in- stance. Ultimately he did so, on the under- standingthatan arrangement was to become to at the end of the game, in order that the allotment holder may lose nothing in the coming season.

DINAS POWIS PARISH COUNCIL. LIGHTING THE VILLAGE. COUNCIL AND THE FOOTPATH QUESTION. A special meeting of the St. Andrew's Parish Council was held on Monday evening at the National Schoolroom, Dinas Powis, Major- General Lee in the chair, supported by Mr John Iqaac, vice-chairman, Messrs H. Naldrett, H. Barrett, T. Cram, J. Howells, H. Wallis, and H. Wright. There was also for the first time in the history of the Council a number of parishioners present. GAS OR ELECTRICITY. The lighting of Dinas Powis was first con- sidered, and Mr H. Naldrett briefly moved that they adopt gas for lighting the parish.—Mr Barrett, in seconding this, said he had paid visits to Llandaff, Whitchurch, Ely, and other places, with the object of deciding on the best method of lighting the village. He believed 30 lamps would be sufficient for the lighting of Dinas Powis, St. Andrew's, and Eastbrook. He suggested that the supply of gas and care of the lighting would be left in the hands of the Barry District Council. Mr T. Cram proposed an amendment to the resolution, that the village be lighted by elec- tricity. There being no seconder, the resolu- tion was passed unanimously, and a deputation appointed to wait on the Barry District Council with full powers. SUNDAY LETTERS. The Council decided in favour of no Sunday delivery of letters, except to applicants at the post-office, and that a collection be made once on Sunday from the letter-box at the station. THE FOOTPATH QUESTION. Councillor D. R. Morgan addressed a letter to the Council on the subject of local footpaths. -Mr T. Cram proposed that the letter lie on the table, and Mr Naldrett proposed that it be read, Mr Howells seconding. It was decided to do this, and the Chairman read the letter as f,llows:- I b.g to direct your attention to my letter elated 8th August, 1901, in which I have explained that, in consequence of General Lee's vote and in fluence at the District Council meeting being against those interested in the maintenance of the public light over the Eastbrook to Cogan footpath, I am in a large measure being handicapped in my efforts on behalf of the people. "I am advised to approach you again, and to express the hope that you will kindly urge the gallant General to represent the people in future, and not the Barry Railway Company, nor the Bute aud Wenvoe Estates, when this footpath question is being dealt with at the meetings of the District Council. "Mr Councill or T. Cram stated at your last meeting that my references to General Lee were 'gross and unwarrantable.' I challenge Mr Cram to substantiate that statement; in fact, Mr Cram fairly put hi foot into it when he stated that Ge er I Lee had exercised < is i, flu nc., wi-h Sir V\ T.

R. MORGAN. Councillor Naldrett proceeded to criticise Mr Cram's remarks at a previous meeting, and he also attempted to deal with the letter, but was ruled out of order by the Chairman, having no resolution to propose. This concluded the business.

LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF EJECT. MENT. REFUSING TO QUIT AN HOTEL. BARRY ISLAND CASE. The Barry magistrates (Mr David Davies and Lieut.-Colonel Thornley) were engaged for a considerable time on Monday in hparing a case in which Angus Mackintosh, boilermaker, of Redbrink-crescent, Barry Island, appeared under a warrant charged with being drunk and refusing to quit the premises of the Marine Hotel, on the Island. Mackintosh also sum moned the landlord of the hotel (Mr C. W. Vine) for assault. Mr J. H. Jones, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the police in the first case, and also defended the landlord in the case of assault, Mr Llovd Meyrick appearing for Mackintosh in both cases. Police-constable Shillum deposed that on the 8th August, about 7 p.m., he was called to the hotel vaults, where he saw prisoner, who was shouting and creating a disturbance. Mr Vine, in witness's presence, asked him several times to leave, and prisoner refused on each occasion. As he persisted in his refusal, witness, assisted by the landlord and the ostler, ejected him Prisoner struggled very much, and they had to exercise considerable force. Subsequently prisoner made two attempts to return, but eventually two women took him home. In abeut half an hour he returned and 1f ent to the vaults, witness following, and declared that he would not leave until be bad some fish he bad left behind him. The fih was fnund, and then prisener went away without difficulty. Mr Vine, the landlord, described how he bad tried tnpersuide prisoner for some time to leavp, in consequence of a comphint being made by ome strangers as to prisoner's conduct. Witness spent three-quarters of an hour with prisoner, and the latter persisting in his refusal to leave, witness seized him by the shoulders and pushed him to the lobby. Then the ostler came to his assistance, and they carried prisoner to the bottom of the steps, and placed him outside on the pavement. Prisoner returned, and then witness sent for the police-constable, wh03P evidence as to the remainder of the occurrence be corroborated. Witness declared that he used no more violence than was necessary to eject prisoner, whoi'le head was not bleeding in con- sequence of the treatment be received. Cross examined by Mr Lloyd Meyrick. wit- ness said be saw prisoner in his house at 1 o'clock, and he understood that he left about 2, returning again about 3. At 6 o'clock when witness saw prisoner be was drunk, but the man did not get drunk on bis premises. Mr Meyrick The man was drunk, you say ? Witness; He was argumentatively drunk. Mr Meyrick Well, as you know the diffrent phases of drunkenness, can you, as an expert, tell us how long the man bad been drunk ? Witness; I am not an expert; it might have been five minutes, or even half an hour. Con- tinning. witness declared the man was "fright- fully mauled" about by those outside. The crowd shouted out, Let him go," and he considered this expression was meant for the ostler, not for himself. Mr Meyrick: Have you heard complaints about any previous instance of this P Witness: No. Mr Meyrick: You will hear more about it, again, perhaps Mr J. H. Jones What, another speech Mr Meyrick: Mr Jones, we are paid for it, you know. (Laughter.) Mr Jones Yes, but you are evidently out for the day. Further cross-examined, witness said he had heard about another man having been kicked in the stomach. Mr Meyrick And alleges that it was done by you. Witness I didn't hear that. Thomas Tyrrell, barman William Morgan, cellarman, employed at the hotel; George Burnett, butcher and William Watkins, a groom, were called, all of whom considered that no more violence than was necessary bad been used, but the latter, in cross-examination, admitted that the crowd cried out, Don't bump the man's bead." For the defence, Mr Meyrick called first a witness named Frank Lacey. Mr J. H. Jones thereupon appealed to the Bench that Mr Meyrick should can the prisoner at once if be was going to be called. Mr Meyrick I am not going to be dictated to by Mr Jones Mr Jones I am asking for the direction of the Court. Mr Meyrick: I am permitted to eonduct my case as I think proper, and even if directed by the Court I shall, with due submission, not do otherwise. A boatman, named Hobbs, said he saw Mr Vine drop the man's head on the steps, but could not say whether it was an accident or not. The Bench here interposed with the remark that the action of Mr Vine was probably acci- dental, the man slipping from his grasp. The case of assault was thereupon dismissed, and in the other case Mackintosh was fined 25s and costs for refusing to quit.

County Cricket in Glamorgan. BARRY MAN SECOND IN THE AVER- AGES. In the BARRY HERALD from time to time we have referred to the prominent part played in county cricket by a Barry man, viz., Mr A. Osborne, son of Mr Osborne, Dock View-road. According to the batting averages for the County of Glamorgan, Osborne comes second on the list with 34'7 runs for each of twelve innings, during which he scored 381 runs, and was once not out, while he is one of the three out of the eleven who, during the season, scored more than a century. Osborne also comes sixth in the bowling averages with 30'2 for three wickets in 25-l overs. With Mr H. E. Morgan (Penarth), Osborne created a county record for the fiist wicket in the match agaiust Mon- mouthnhire, when they put on 250 runs. A C'ntemporary r. fers to him in the following t. rlltS :-I- Mr Osborne, whose first year it was for the county, proved a decided acquisition. He has exceeded ibe century on two occasions, hi" play all the y. ar being marked with great care. He is also a fine field at cov» r-p dnt, beit.g also a fair changn bowler." Air Osborne is y^-t a young man on the sunny side of 30, and jurlg-iug by his enthusiastic love of the summer p t>time wiii live, we hope, to assist the county I of his adoption iu wany-iuatebee during several years.

BARRY MASTER BUILDERS' ASSO. CIATION. WAGES OF CARPENTERS. A special meeting of the above was held on Thursday last, Mr S. Hopkins (president) in the chair.—The Chairman said the meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the action of the Public Works Committee in taking upon themselves the responsibility of attempting to raise the standard rate of wages for carpenters and joiners in the district, and at a time when it put everyone at their wits' end to pay honestly 20s in the jE. All the members pre- sent had, no doubt, been acquainted through the Press and other ways with what had trans- pired during the last month in connection with a contract for public buildings on Barry Island, that was being carried out by the secretary, Mr Prout. They all knew that the carpenters and joiners hrd been on stiike since May, 1900, for an increase of wages from 8 £ d to 9d per hour, and were on strike still, and their members receiving strike pay. Although their secretary was trying to stuff the committee that the strike closed on 20th July, they bad only to look at the daily papers to prove the statement to be au untruth. Without going any further into the question, he would ask Mr Prout to give them a report of the proceedings that had taken place during the three or four times he had attended committees, Mr Prout thereupon said he did not think it necessary to give them a long report, as they were all more or loss conversant with what bad taken place during the last few weeks. The question being one of great importance to employers throughout the country as to whether public bodies could fix the rate of wages to be paid by employers to their employees, it had been watched with more than usual interest. He would begin at the beginning, and give them the main points. They could then draw their own conclusions. As far back as April the secretary of the carpenters' society wrote the Council stating that the rate of carpenters' wages was 9d an hour, and hoped they would see that it was paid on all their contracts but as there was no complaint, the question was allowed to drop. Mr Prout at this stage pro- duced the April official report of the Amal- gamated Society of Carppnters and Joiners, in which it was stated that the wages in the Barry and Cadoxton district was li(i per hour. "Again the reports do not correspond." At the Finance Committee meeting, August 1st, the Chairman (Mr Smith-Jones) made in- quiries as to whether the f iir trade clause wns being adhered to, and whether the rate of wages of 9d per hour was being paid to car- penters. At that time a carpenter had not been on the job, and no complaint was made by the carpenters' society. A few days later hp received a letter from the clerk to the District Council asking for the rate of wages, and if it was true Union carpenters were not allowed to work on the cloak-room and lavatory contract. He replied that he paid the recognised rate of wng-R, and that Union carpenters refused to work, instead of not being allowed but, at the same time, he reserved the right to employ whom he felt inclined-Uuion or non-Union men. At the Council meeting, August 12th, the question was referred to the Public Works Committee, with full power to settle. A special meeting was held on the 14th, at which be attended, and stated that the Master Builders' I Association refused to pay more than 8id per hour. Ninepence was paid by a few who em- ployed a man occasionally, but those who em- J ployed the majority of men in the building trade paid 8id. It was decided to ad- journ the meeting till the 16tb, when Mr Saunders, the secretary of the Car- penters' Society, would be asked to attend, and state how many men were working in the district for 9d per hour. At the adjourned meeting Mr Saunders and Mr Prout attended, and in the course of Mr Saunders' remarks, h" stated that the strike of local carpenters and joiners closed on July 20th last, and that the rate for such men was 9d per hour. He was asked bow many men were working in the dis- trict at 9d per hour, and being unable to say definitely whether more than eight men were working, although he stated there were nearly 100 working elsewhere, the meeting bad to be again adjourned, and we were asked to send the names of employers and number of men em- ployed at the present time, both for Sid and 9ri per hour, the decision to be given at the next Public Works Committee meeting. As re- quested, the names of employers who refused to sign rules, and who did not recognise the 9d rate, was sent, the number being nine employers and 56 men employed at the present time, ten of whom were foremen or leaoing hands, and received 9d per hour, as is always the custom. Mr Saunders also sent a long list of 38 employers who had agreed to pay the 9d per hour, but 12 out of that number do not employ a man at the present time. The majority could not be termed employers at all, as they only employed men to do odd jobs. Some of them were not in the district, nor even in South Wales. The com- mittee considered the lists of employers allowed the one who employed under a dozen men to fix the rate of wage to be paid by the others who employed between 60 and 60. The Chairman stated that the coutimittee were unanimous in their opinion that the rate of wages for car- penters and joiners was 9d per hour It was for the Master Builders' Association to decide what course should be taken. He (air Prout) placed himself entirely in their bands. He was sorry the Council had taken sides in a dispute between the Carpenters' Society and their Association, especially as they had not been asked by either side. The gentleman that had been gcod enough to raist* the question now was sometime ago continually talking of the absurdity of men asking for an increase of wuges when the district was in such a depressed state. A warm discussion took place, and the mem- bers thought that the Council had considerably exceeded their duty in attempting to fix a rate of wages for men outside their own employees and a unanimous resolution was passed con- demning their action. Another resolution was passed that the members of the Association would not increase the carpenters' wages until they could increase the wages of all the branches of the building trade.

THOSE £ 18,000 DISBURSEMENTS. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S SEARCH. The Finance Committee were deputed at the last meeting of the Council to inquire at a special Pitting into the alleged misappropriation of ilS,000, when the gas and water undertaking was taken over some years ago. The meeting was called and only two members put in an appearance-Coun- cillois Smith-Jones (iu the chair) and A. T. White. In deciding to go on with the business instead of adjournit g for a fuller meeting, Councillor Smith- Jones said that as statements had been made concerning himself, he thought if they did not g ori "itli the business, the same false statements may again be made oy a part of the Press of the district for certain purposes. At the last Council meeting he stated he was not the author of the agenda. The Council ought to have taken that as sufficient explanation to exonerate him from the charge of interfering with the Council's instruc- tions. Since the last meeting of the Committee a paper in the town had deliberately circulated that ho had been corDen.d." SeeiDg that tiic- Finance Committee had not had the question on the agenda, they could not decide when it shouid be taken. This fact ought to be sufficient to prevent the cir- bulatiou of those false statements.—The inquiry then proceeded, and a mass of books and letiers were examined, the investigations of the other lasting till a late hour.

i THE HURRI AND WORRY OF LIFE. A BARRY DOCK MAN'S EX- PERIENCE. How can the hurry and worry, the wear and tear of every day life, be counteracted ? How call those attacks of depression, those feelings ol fag," and the loss of ambition and energy be re- placed by vigour and activity ? The practical answer to this question, which many men and women are asking themselves to-day, it to be found in a course of Dr Slater's blood tonic tablets. Modern competition in businesa, over-work, and, in tome cases, over-inulgence react upon the sys- tern in time, unless some compensating force is forthcoming to make up for their ravages, and such symptoms as nervous despondency, loss of memory, confusion of idea*, irritability of temper, and even more serious disorders b.in to present themselves. The experience of Mr W. J. Masters, a printer's agent, of Morel-street, Barry Dock, affords a practical illustration of the real power of Dr SI 'ter a Tablets. Emaciation and weakness had reduced him to what resembled the last stages of consumption. He had acute pains in the back and cheat, was fagged with the least exertion, was altogether run down, and any effort made him dizzy and out of breath. Seeing Dr Slater's blood tonic tablets praised in the papers, he tried them. Perseverance with the medicine rid him at length of all the pains aud fatigue, aud the fifth box saw him perfectly restored. Dr Slater's blood tonic tablets have made their reputation by curing scores of cases of weakness, debility, anasmia, pal- pitation, Summer-end fag, wasting and loss of flesh, sleeplessness, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, neuralgia, eczema, and weak and impure blood. All chemists rell Dr Slater's tablets, or they may be had post free for price 2/9 per box from the Slater Medicine Co., Basinghall street, Deeds. Care, however, should be taken to see that the name Dr S ater" is on each box, as a number of iniel ior preparations are now on the market, and are often advanced as being" Just as good, and at the same time cheaper." They are "cheaper," it is true, and may well be so, as they are greatly inferior.
