BAURY SCHOOL BCARD. RESIGNATIONS AUD APPOINTMENTS. Welsh Teaching during Winter Months. EVENING SCHOOLS' RESOLUTION. SPECIAL MEETING TO BE HBLD. The Barry School Board met on Thursday evening in last week, under the presidency of Mr John Lowdou, J.P. There were also present the Rev Father Byrne, Rev W. Williams, Dr Lloyd Edwards, Dr Living- atone, Messrs D. Lloyd and J. Rees. COMPLETING AN ACCOTXNT. One of the items on the agenda was to aliix the seal of the Board to a mortgage deed for 1105 of the Public Works Loan Commissioners for the Cardiff and Barry Truant School buildings, this being a final account. The seal was fixed. MANUAL INSTRUCTION CENTRES. This Board has applied to the Board of Education for permission to borrow money for the construction of manual instruction centres. Permission was duly received, but owing to the fact that money was very dear the amount required, namely, £ 1,054 15s, was not borrowed. It was now stated, how- aver, that the Public Works Loan Commis- sioners offered the amount at the rate of interest of 3^ per cent., and the clerk was 4 ordered to take the necessary steps to com- plete the loan with the Commissioners. TEACHLVG OF WELSH IN NIGHT SCHOOLS. The Rev Ben Evans, secretary of a com- mittee which has been formed in the town for the purpose of making provision for the teaching of Welsh during the winter months, made application for the use of one of the schools in order to conduct the work of teaching the Welsh language in its different phases, and explained that it was possible the committee might add sol-fa and indus trial art to its eurrieulum. The committee had ascertained that it was imoracticable for the Board to teach Welsh to those under 14 years of ige in the evening continuation y n schools, and they would require probably four or five rooms for their purposes.—The Chairman It is a request we may reason- ably grant, although we strongly oppose the teaching of Welsh coming into the day school curriculum as an extra subject, be- cause we have found it already too expen- sive. It was a different thing, however, to teach it in the evening. They had tried it themselves, but could not get enough pupils. But as these gentlemen, who felt so strongly interested in the matter, were now taking it up, the Board should offer no objection Rev W. Williams moved that it be granted —Mr John Rees, in seconding, said lie,, was pleased to find a change coming over the members of the Board in reference to This question. Recently, when other gentlemen had written for the use of a room to hold an examination, the applica- tion had been rdued, and he would be pleased if the Board looked as favourably upon applications from bodies of ratepayers for a good purpose. He had himself asked for the use of a room for the benefit- morally and socially and intellectually—of the townspeople, but did not succeed.—Dr Lloyd Edwards Those cases are not on a par with this case. The resolution of the Board is that we grant it for educational purposes, and this committee is taking on work which some of us think ought to be taken on by the Board.—The motion was carried. KAKKY TEACHER IN AMERICA. Testimonials received in reference to Mr J. Lloyd J ones, who has gone from Barry to America to study under Mr Liberty Tadd, had been, it was stated, received from that gentleman, and from other distinguished gentlemen in that country, and were ordered to be referred to the School Manage- ment Committee RECENT SUCCESSES. Miss Fleming wrote in reference to the success of three girl pupils at Holton-road Schools, who had gained Howell School scholarships, and declared that great credit was due to Miss Pyke, who taught them, and had given them great attention.- Di- W. Lloyd Edwards also referred to the sue cesses, and declared that Miss Jeremiah, a Cadoxton girl, had also gained a high posi- tion, while in the County School scholarship examinations Romilly-road Girls' School had done brilliantly, having taken six, while Cadoxton and Holton also had one each.- It was agreed to give the sckools-Holtomt, Cadoxton, and Romillv.road-a half-holiday in honour of the successful students. ACCOMMODATION. The Board of Education wrote enclosing a complaint made bv Mr W. J. Jones that one of his children had been refused admission to Holton Schools, and asking for the obser- vations of the Board on the complaint. The Clerk had drafted a reply, which was read, stating that great deal of friction and trouble had arisen in consequence of the pat ents sending their children to this school instead of Hannah-street, and pointed out that although the accommodation in Holton- i road was for 629 scholars, the register showed 718 scholars, with an average at- tendance of 645. As the Board had severely reprimanded them for over-crowding last year, there were a large number of vacant places at Hannah-street and Cadoxton, where this Board required parents to send their children. The reply was approved. KF.MGXATIONS AD APPOJXTMENTS. The if-i^nations included Miss Jennie Williams, of Holton Infants' School, who] has, as we have already reported, been ap pointed as headmistress of a Bedford sehool. Miss Llewellyn, the headmistress, recom- mended the appointment of Miss Beatrice Janv-s fit the vacancy, and that nominee was .elected. Miss Eliza Morgan also wrote for a testimonial, which was granted. Other resignations were Miss Pinch, Romilly. road, going to coiiege Mrs John, married Miss Hetty William-, college Miss Verona: James, returning to Newport; Miss Kate Williams, college; Miss Agnes Green. Mr Evan Jor»t»?5, refiuning to Merthyr Mr W. J. David. college; and Mr Lewis Thomas, returning to Newport. Mr D. Arthur Evans, Treharris Mr Evan Rees, Cenarth and Miss Wilkinson were given appoint- ments to vacancies. COAL. The Chairman suggested that they adver- tise for their winter's supply of soal.-Mi- D. Lloyd: And get the tenders opened by the Board, not by the clerk.-Dr W. Lloyd Edwards All tenders have been opened at the meetings.- Mr John Rees Of course, it has always been done.—The Chairman If there has been any case where they have not, you should mention it, Mr Lloyd.—Mr John Rees It is a mean action to bring the thing up in this way.The Clerk I protest against it, isir.-The Chairman: The same rule has always been in force if it is not observed, members ought to draw attention to it at the time.—Dr W. Lleyd Edwards I think so, too. —Mr John Rees Of course. TECHNICAL AND EVENING SCHOOLS. The Chairman said that a letter bad been received from the County Council in re- ference to the above, but before it was read he wished to state that there seemed to be a general impression abroad that the Board had closed all the evening schools. The publio at large do not seem to realise that they had sought power from the County Council to teach 20 subjects, and that power had been given them; so it was really only their evening schoel work that they were stopping, and that work, as defined in the minute of evening schools, was divided into nine groups, eight of which came properly within powers of the Technical Instruction Committee of the county. If asked, he had no doubt the committee would grant them power to teach the eight. The letter stated that no grant would be given for teaching subjects other than authorised under the Technical Instruction Act, but the county committee learnt with regret of the decision of the Board to discontinue evening schools, and asked them to re-consider the matter. The Chairman What they mean is that the Evening Schools Committee should act for them as their sub-committee.—Dr W. Lloyd Edwards I would like to address you one or two words on this matter. I have been aroumd the town a great deal during the last c C5 few days. I find that people are quite aware that we are having our technical instruction classes as before, but they also learn with regret that we intend discontinuing evening continuation work. It is most impor- tant The Chairman I think you are out of order, and are travelling over ground which was gone over at the last meeting. You must address yourself to the nature of the reply to be sent to the letter from the county council.—Dr Lloyd Edwards I am using an argument about replying. This member again proceeded to refer to what members considered about the case, when the Chairman again called him to order, and asked him to confine himself to the answer.—Dr Edwards Then I move a resolution that we send a letter to the County Council stating that we intend calling a special meeting to re-consider the matter of re-starting our evening schools.- The Chairman I was going to point out that the whole of the evening school work will be taught by the County Council through their committee, amd the better course would be to say that the Evening Schools Committee, which has hitherto acted as a sub-committee of the County Council, are willing to take up all the subjects which the Board ef Education sanction for evening schools for and at the expense of the County Council.—Dr W. Lloyd Edwards May I reply to that, sir ?—The Chairman I suggest that it should be our answer.—Dr W. Lloyd Edwards: Then I desire to reply to that.- The Chairman Of course, you can traverse that ground.—Dr Edwards It would be perfectly hopeless -ecting the County Council to do what you thought they may do. The grants for which they can pay are under the Technical Instruction Act.—The Chairman: All the subjects are. Dr Edwards Even admitting that they can, is it likely that they will do it for Barry when other Boards in Glamorgan are going to pay their own way Besides, it is perfectly impossible for them to carry it on with a halfpenny rate. If you call a special meeting to re-consider the matter you will be acting in accordance with the wishes of the people in the district. I beg to move that we re- consider it.—The Rev W. Williams secon- ded, in order to have the matter more fully placed before them.The Chairman We called a special meeting and devoted a whole evening to the discussion of this question, and that is only a week ago.—Dr Edwards The least thing, when the County Council asks us, is to re-consider it.—Mr D. Lloyd I think that I came to a wrong decision at the last meeting on the matter, and I should like to have the matter re-considered.—Dr Edwards Hear, hear.—Mr John Rees I regret that I was unable to attend that special meeting of the Board.-It was eventually agreed ntttt con to hold a special meeting that day week. PUPIL TEACHERS. The Chairman was, on the recommenda- tion of the School Management Committee, authorised to affix the seal of the Board to the pupil teachers' memoranda of agreement in respect of the following :—Evelyn Wilcox, Hilda Morgan, Eva Price, Gwladys Davies, Mary Lewis, Eleanor Morris, Florence Williams, Margaret Roberts, Gwendoline James, Ada Jones, Edith Candlish, Evan Jones, Harry Haines, and Willie Warren.

INCREASED REPRESENTATION.
INCREASED REPRESENTATION. MOTION AT THE DISTRICT COUNCIL WILL THE ACTION BE IN TIME ? The Barry District Council, at their meeting on Monday eveaing, heard letters read from the Barry Trades' Council and the Ratepayers' Association in favour of increasing the member- ship on the Council. There was also a motion on the paper by Councillor J. A. Man at on, who now moved that the Council make appli- cation to the County Council for an increase of membership of the Council to 24, to have two members retiring in each ward each year. Some four years ago a similar motion was carried, but owing to there being difficulties about the scheme, it was not gone through.—The Chair- man here informed Mr Manatcn that after the resolution passed in May, a committee had been empowered to deal with this matter, but, having called two meetings, they had failed to get more than himself to attend. (Laughter.) Councillor Manaton Well, sir, it appears to me that certain wembors of this Council really do not want an increase. (Hear, bear.) As it was now too late, he was surprised that the clerk did not tell them of this before.—The Clerk The clerk is a favourite subject for attack by everybody, but I did not know of it myself until a couple of days ago.—Councillor Mauatou I accept that.—It was stated by the mover that smaller towns than Barry had 24 members, while other towns, with populations of only 30,000, bad as many as 32 representa- tives.—Councillor White supported, on the ground of efficiency in doing the work, for it was wrong for two members to be allowed to go through accounts amounting to £ 15,000 or £20,000 in a single meeting. el Councillor Paterson also supported it, and declared it to be invigorating to see such unanimity. Dr O'Donnell supported tbl" resolution. Alderman Meggitt considered it a mistake the manner in which the resolution was framed. Personally, be considered there should be some alteration in the wards and in the areas, and he thought tke County Council had established a rule not to allow three members for each ward. The resolution was carried, and it was de- cided to write to the County Council and ask that the matter be considered by the Local Government Committee on Friday next.

John Williams, coaltrimmer, 20, Sydenham- street, Barry Dock, and his wife, Elizabeth Williams, were summoned for disorderly conduct in the street, outside the Castle Hotel. The dis- order complained of was quarrelling, and thereby attracting a crowd. Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, soli- ctor, appeared tor the defence. Police-constable W m Evans gave evidenee, aod Mr Lloyd declared in extenuation that the man had spent his wages in what the wife conceded to be a wrongful and watteful manner, and at the time she was looking after her husband and his property. Mrs Williams wafc dismissed on account of her good offices, but the husband was fined 10a. OLlAK HKADS The list of teetotalers were led by Mrs Alice Murphy, from Penmark, who, in consequence of her garulity, had to be reminded of the tact that she was not now on a oountry roadway. She had had three-pen'orth in the village public, and it was so strong that it overcame her, especially now she had reached the age of 60, half of which time she had spent iu the hamlet. The Bench dis- charged her, defendant saying it waa the first, and will be the last. John Sulli.si^ a Llanbethery labourer, for being drunk at 3.39 on a recent Sun- day afternoon, was fined 10s, or seven days.

He was more fit subject for the workhouse than the prison, but in order to prepare the way the Bench seat him to gaol for five days without hard labour. HOUSE OF ILL-FAME. Savah Ann Widger, of Mertbyr-street, Harry Dock, appeared in custody under a warrant charged with keeping.. brothel on the premises occupied by her in Hirwain-street.

Mr Jones-Lloyd, solicitor, appe,it<:d for prisoner, and aakid for a remand, on account of the fact that he had been unaole to procu. e witnassea.— P< lice-cot,afcuble Rogers stated that he was on duty in Thomp on- street about 6.40 p.m., when prisoner went up to him, and,after using a disgusting expression, asked if he was a better mau thfoll himself. Tobin then took off his coat and aimed a blow, which witness avoided. They then clos d, and in the struggle the constable received a kick and several blows on the chest. They were ou the ground when In- spector Morris and Police-ccnstable Poolinan came to the Msaistanc5 of thtir comrade, and with great difficulty got prisoner to the police-station.—The Bench eventually decided to remand prisoner for a week, bail being allowed in a personal recoguisauce for £2õ aud two sureties of J615 each.

LOVE AND MONEY. -
LOVE AND MONEY. GERMAN LOVER AND WELSH GIRL. SINGULAR CASE. A German donkey man named William Pagan- hoW figured in the dock at Barry Police-court on Thursday on a charge of obtaining S95 from a young domestic servant named Margaret Mary Bagis, a nntive of Aberdare, by false pre- tences. Prosecutrix, a comely young girl, about 20 years of age, said that she had been keeping company with prisoner, who lodged at the bouse of her mistress, Mrs Newaaan, 37, Thompson-street, when he arrived at Barry from voyages which he went three or four times a year. Mrs Newman kept a tobacconist shop and boarding-house, and was desirous of dis- posing of the business. She asked prisoner if he would buy, and he in turn asked the com- plainant, whom be regarded as his fiance. Prose- cutrix assented, and then told prisoner she had £95 in the bank. Prisoner also said that he had money, and they agreed therewith to buy the business and get wed. The Clerk: At the time you arranged about the business, was anything said about the day on which you were to get married ? Pfesecutrix o, air, not at the time; we fixed that afterwards. In further evidence, prosecutrix said she wrote to Aberdare about the money, and ob- tained an order, which she gave to prisoner, who went to Cardiff last Saturday and cashed it. Prisoner, on his return, told her that be had had t be mOüf>Y in gold, and would keep it until they were married, the day being fixed on the following Wednesday. Details were arranged, and the couple went to Cardiff on Tuesday to purchase the ring. Prosecutrix, at his request, ordered a cab to fetch her from the house at a certain hour, and imprepsed upon his intended bride the necessity of being ready. The Clerk: When did you see him after- wa- ds ? Prosecutrix: Not until I see him now here. The Clerk Then, he didn't turn up ? Prosecutrix: No, sir. In consequence of the n on appearance of the bridegroom on Wednes- day she went to Cardiff, gave information to the police, and he was arrested. Prisoner asked protlecutrix whether she did not fcO with him to Cardiff to cash the order ? She replied in the negative. Mr O. H. Jones (to prisoner] What have you done with the money ? Prisoner I never had any from her. The Clerk: Then what have you done with the cheque, which is the same thing? Prisoner: I haven't got it. Mr O. H. Jones: She says that you promised to marry her ? Prisoner: Yes; but I can't marry her now. Mrs Amelia Newman, prosecutrix's mistress, was called aud confirmed the evidence that prisoner had promised twice to marry the girl, who said in his presence that she had £ 95 in the bank. Mr O. H. Jones thereupon intimated that the evidence did not disclose any criminal offence. The best thing for prosecutrix was to sue prisoner for the money and for breach of promise, and he advised her to consult a solicitor. The Magistrates' Clerk: You had better tele- graph to Mrs Evans, Aberdare, where yeu got the cheque from, to stop it. Prisoner was thereupon discharged.

Evsvus, who formerly lived at Oowbridge, was broken [into, and a fevr articles of silver stolen, An entrance was effected by breaking the glass in a window at the back of the premiss. The thief or thieves must, have spent sometime in the moritiiig-rejui, fr 1)11 which room the silver was missed, for the remains of a caudle, con- siderably burnt, and a cigar-end were left as indications of the presence of a strange and un- invited guest. Two of the articles were after wards sold to a dealer at Barry Dock and recovered by the police, but the man who sold the goods had sufficient time to make his escape.—At the dockside on Wednesday night, or early on Thursday morning, a lock-up shop in the occupation of Mr C. Williams wm entered and some tobacco and money stolen. The police have also been apprised of the fact that some residents of Merthyr Dovan village were disturbed by some nocturnal visitor, who decamped when he found that his presence on the premises had been discovered. One house was occupied solely by a maiden lady, who, when she heard the smashing of glass, shouted out: "Tom, get up," which ruse had the effect of scaring the marauder. On Saturday night The Woodlands, occupied by Mr H. Hybart, was entered, and although several things were missed, these were found in a field near by. The burglars are by mistake given in a daily paper the blame for an entry into a house near The Woodlands, and the theft of a spoon from The Parade, in Barry, besides a visit to Pencoedtre House. But it is interesting to learn that the spoon was missed some weeks ago, and the house near The Woodlands referred to is an empty house. Last week Cogan and Cadoxton Stations were broken into, and this is attributed by the same reliable (?) authority to the burglars "on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning." In two instances the police have been able to obtain important clues as to the offenders.

--r-- BARRY CHAMBER OF TRADE. RAILWAY CONVENIENCES. WEST WARD COUNCILLORS. The monthly meeting of the Barry Chamber of Trade was held at the Island Cafè. Broad- street, on Thursday evening in last week, Mr Bloomfield in the chair. There was a good attendance, and ab the commencement there was discussed the safety of Whitmore Bay for boaters and bathers, it being felt that the prosperity of the Island as a resort for people holiday-making depended to a large extent on the prevention of such accidents as that which occurred recently. TRAIN CONNECTIONS. The Chamber recently deputed a committee te approach the mautigement of the Barry Railway in the matter of the Company's train connection with other lines. The deputation had been unable to have a personal interview with Mr Richard Evans, owing to being unable to fix a date suitable to both parties, and 8. letter was now read from the management stating that the train service was drawn up to serve the public wants, and that it was not practicable to act upon the suggestions of the deputation, however sincerely they were made. The letter recommended a similar appeal to the Taff Vale Railway authorities, and it WAS decided by the Chamber to write to the Taff Vale Railway Company, and also to ask Mr Evans to grant the deputation a personal in- terview. THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE DISTRICT COUNCIL. At the conclusion of the agenda a long in- formal discussion took place on the behaviour of the Council, and the necessity of altering the present state of affairs. Councillor W. Paterson spoke at length on the matter of the Couneil's illegal trading which has given rise to so much unnecessary trouble among councillors, and after discussion it as resolved, with three dissentients, to petition the West Ward and ask its opinion with regard to the action of Councillor White.

HOW FAR IS CARDIFF? Rather an interesting oase has recently de- veloped over Cardiff. Being 80 near, it is well worth publishing. It is as follows:— Mrs Elizabeth Morgan, of 21, Dorset-street, Cardiff, says :— I have been a martyr to cruel baekaehes, caused by my kidneys being doyariged. When I stooped suddenly and straightened mytelf up again, the pain stubbed me like a knife, and was almost unbear- able. If I went upon my knees I would have te lay hold of something to pull myself up again, then I would have to stand still for a few minutes, for if I let go I should liave fallati. I began to put on flesh, and at last I became so stout I could hardly move about. I also suffered from gravel and gall-stones, and I have been in the hospiul and under medical treatmeut by a private doctor, but I did not get any better. This was the state of my health when I came to hear (.f Doan's Backache Kidney tills through a neighbour, who knew how bad I had been, so I obtained a box, and since taking them I am pleased to say I am quite a changed woman. "1 have now returned to my normal size, the gravel and gall-stones have never appeared since, and I feel so much better iu every way that I can- not speak too highly of these pills. Everyone has noticed the ehange In me, and as I am grateful for the above benefits, you may puhlilh whflt I have said for others' benefit. -(Signed) Mrs Elizabeth Morgan-" This is local testimony, and the parly named is here to prove it.

NOTES BY ATHLETE. Oil Saturday the Unionists bad a practice match. After a great deal of trouble the secre- tary managed to gather in an eleven from the field, including a few of the Rovers' team. • • • The Cadoxton Juniors v. Gladstone Villa commenced in earnest at Palmerstown. Play was even for a long time, until White, the Villa goal-keeper, was attacked by the Juniors, Tucker leading. Continuing to press, Witchard acoryd the first goal of the season. Tucker came next with a header, and Bowles third. • • Sheppard, in the second half, had an oppor- tunity of showing good play, and after a considerable amount of attacking, Griffiths scored for the Villans. Some smart play was witnetised on both sides before the close of the game, which ended by three goals to one, f Both clubs played well, and the Villans, though a new club, are likely to do something this ieason if they maintain the same form as at Palmerstown, < The Juniors are going to make a determined effort this year to secure the Cardiff medals. They have six Cardiff clubs to play against. The Dinas Powis Rugby Club bad a practice match on Saturday afternoon on the Common. There was a good turn-out from the village.

A POLICE INSPECTOR'S DAUGHTER
A POLICE INSPECTOR'S DAUGHTER SAY8 BILE BEANS SAVED HER LIFE! ULCERATED STOMACH, INDIGESTION, AND DEBILITY CURED. SEVEN YEARS OF TORTUR1 ENDED. From the brink of the grave to perfect hadth is a tremendous ehange. Yet tki. it the change whioh Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness have worked in Miss Jeuny Newton, daughter of the late Polioe-inspector Newton, of Grove-street Wakefield. Here is her own story as a Wakefield Herald reporter had it from her lips I have been a martyr to indigestion and ulcerated stomach for nearly seven years. It would startle people were I to write down the list of so-called remedies that I hare tried for my complaint. I went tn th« Clayton Hospital for two years, and the doctors 2 that institution did me some little good, but only for a very short time. Then I was treated by three well-known doctors in Wakefield, but none of them did me any real good and I became very weary and downcaat. Abandoning hopes of obtaininff a cure by con- salting medi- cal men, I com- menced with patent medi- cines, and on theme my MO. ther has spent small for- tune. It was all to no pur- pose, however. I beeltne thin, weak, and ema- siated-a very wretched-look- ing object, I know, and no wonder, I oonid eat nothing for veeks. Nothine would stay oa my stomach, and for & long time I lived on hot miik alone. My head was always aching, as was my body; I had terrible pains in the region of my stomaeh and heart; I lost fleah rapidly, and eould not sleep. I fell always low- spirited, and I get so bad that I could not go up- stairs without stopping once or twioe to rest. I felt as though I didn't care whether I got better or not. My mother had given up all hopes of my n,hon 5% she ,aw »n advertisement about Charles Forde s Bile Beans, and what won- derful cures they had effected in some cases. She bought a box. and I began to take them right off. in a few daya I began to pick up splendidly. It was really mai. vollouti All the paius I had gradually disappeared. I commenced to sleep soundly and got up refreshed began to Lake atilid food, and to be able to digest it. I kept on with the Beans, and as the result I was soon perfectly well again. I can now eat and digest any food. This I owe to Bile Beans entirely They are worth their weight in gold Nearly everyone who has seen me has asked what it is that has brought about the great ch ang*, and I have told them with the utmost possible pleasure.' Miss Newton's mother, who was present, brought the interview to a elose with the remark You may tell everybody if you like that Bile Beans, and nothing else, have saved my daughter's life She is now a bright and happy girl." Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousnebs are without doubt superior to all known medicines fot stomach disorders and diseases, indigestion, livel and kidney disorders, eonstipation, headache, cebibty, nervousness, anwmia, female ailments, chill, rheumatism, pimples, face sores, as a restora- tive after influenza, as well as for palpitation, pains in the ohest, difficulty in breathing, and pains between the shoulders.
