Ij Ton-Pentne PoliceI Court.
j Ton-Pentne Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. Arthur Lewis), Alderman W. Morgan, Messrs. D. W. Davies and J. D. Williams. Publid-house Prosecution. A charge of allowing a drunken person on his premises was preferred against John Metford, the landlord of the Cross Keys Hotel, Tonypandy. P.S. Jones stated that, in company with P.C. Taylor, he visited the Cross Keys Hotel about 8 p.m.on the 5th inst. On a bench in the bar he saw a man, who gave his name as Edwin Williams, Pem- broke Street, Tonypandy, sleeping in an intoxicated condition. He called the attention of Mrs. Metford, who was behind the bar, to the condition of the man, and asked her why she allowed him on the premises. She replied that she had not noticed him. She then called the landlord, who came in from an ad- joining room, and he (witness) asked him why he allowed the man in that state to remain on his premises. He replied that lie could not have been in there many minutes. Mrs. Metford then began to shake Williams, but failing to wake him, Mr. Metford undertook the task, and after shaking him several times he managed to have the desired effect, and he got the man on his feet. They then took him to the front door and sent him about his business. Williams fell help- lessly drunk when he was in the street, and was totally unable to get up, where- upon witness and P.C. Taylor again caught hold of him and placed him on his feet; but those limbs failing to support him, he would once more have fallen had not the witness and P.C. Taylor kindly taken him between them and convey him to the police station. As soon as he was safely inside the cell, witness and P.C. Taylor returned to the hotel, and told Mr. Metford that he would report him for allowing a drunken person to remain on his premises. Defendant again re- peated that he could not have been there many minutes; one of the boys turned him out only a short time previously. Witness replied that the man must have been there more than a few minutes, because he was quite unable to stand and could not walk (which, no doubt, was a matter of course). The servant girl said that she had seen the man come in a few minutes before; and upon witness asking her why she did not inform Mr. Metford or one of the boys of his presence, she replied that she was too busy. Mr. Edwin Williams, solicitor, Ponty- pridd, who appeared for the defence, said that he could not deny the fact that the man was there. He came on the premises a few minutes before the sergeant and the constable arrived. He was in a drunken condition, and Harry Metford, the cellarman, turned him out. How he came back again he could not say. Maggie Williams, barmaid at the Cross Keys Hotel, stated that she remembered Williams coming to the hotel a few minutes before, the constables arrived. He came to the bar door and asked for a sixpenny bottle of rum, but seeing his condition, she refused to serve him, and called Harry Metford to turn him out, which was done. When P.S. Jones and P.C. Taylor came in, the man was there again. She had not seen him come in, neither could she see him as he slept on the bench without having a box to look over the counter. She did not supply him with drink, neither had he been sup- plied by anybody else. To Supt. Cole: Mrs. Metford was not in the bar at all. P.C. Taylor corroborated P.S. Jones' evidence, and added that a bottle of whisky was found in Williams' pocket when lie was taken to the police station. Harry Metford. cellarman, gave evi- dence of seeing the man in the passage, and of turning him out. Mr. Metford, when placed in the wit- ness-box, gave his version of the affair, which consisted mainly of the evidence as given by the other witnesses. A fine of 40s., including costs, was imposed. A case arising out of the last was that in which Edwin Williams was fined 10s. for being drunk upon the premises of the Cross Keys Hotel, Tonypandy, on the 5th August. He Wanted His Money Back. When Thomas John Evans, a native of Tonypandy, was ejected out of the Court Hotel, Clydach Vale, he became very abusive, and indulged in extremely unpar- liamentary language. Not being content with that mode of disapprobation of the officers of the Crown, he became very violent, and the help of two constables was requisitioned to take him to the police station. When he appeared before the Bench on Monday morning, he was as meek as a lamb, and had nothing to say, except to make a request. that his money, which amounted to the princely sum of 3d., should be returned to him. He had to pay 10s. His Amorous Propensities. Edwin Williams, a young man from Tonypandy, being in his cups, tried to kiss a number of Tonypandy young ladies, but a constable who saw him, not being in a particularly remantic mood, promptly laid his hand.s upon him and inquired his name and address. This he gave as John Brown. For thus trying to fool the officer, and having made a fool of himself, he had to pay 10s., which may serve toi cure him of his amorousness in the future. DisgracefulZ A young woman bearing the name of Mary Agnes Lewis was seen on Sunday morning lying with a man on the Taff Vale Railway near Tonypandy. As a number of other men approached her, she made use of language (handed to the Bench written on paper) which a con- stable described as most filthy. Several charges having been previously proved against her, she was fined El or fourteen days. Domestic Unhappiness. A charge, of persistent cruelty was brought by Sarah Davies, 175, Dumfries Street, Treherbert, against her husband, Isaac Davies, now of 15, Oakfield Terrace, Llwynypia. Mr. Edgar Cule appeared for complainant, while Mr. James Phillips, Pontypridd, represented the defendant. Mr. Edgar Cule, in opening the case for his client, stated that the parties were married two years ago last, Christ- mas. She lived with her husband on fairly good terms until December last, when, owing to persistent cruelty on his part, she left him. Defendant asked her to return to him, and she went and lived with him up to April following, when the defendant submitted her to very harsh conduct, and other forms of cruelty, which resulted in the action which was brought against defendant on Monday last. Plaintiff stated that she was married two years ago. There were two children of the marriage, both of which were dead. Previous to September last she had lived with her mother at Ffoslas, Llanfihangel, near Aberystwyth. At the end of Sep- tember she came to live at Penrhiwceiber with her husband, where she remained until the 16th of December. Owing to what occurred between her and her hus- band on that date she left him, but re- turned to him a fortnight later. After that they went to live at Treherbert, where her husband acted very good towards her for a month or five weeks. Then he began to be nasty towards her He began to twit her that the landlord of the house was intimate with her and that he would kill them both. On Mon- day evening, the 13th of March, he struck her on her back in bed, and after that he was at her every day. When he under stood that she was enceinte, he got worse, and said that he was not the father. On the 15th of April, when defendant came home from work, she had food on the table and water ready for him to wash. The water being rather hot, she went out to the back to get some cold water. When she returned, her husband accused her of speaking with the landlord, and threat- ened to knock her head into the wall, adding that he would not be long squaring all. After washing, he asked for the keys to get the money, and he went upstairs to dress, saying that he would go away. When she asked him what was to become of her, he said that she could go to He told her that she was the lowliest woman in the. street, and again said that he was not the father of the child which she was carrying After dressing, he went out, and slammed the door after him. She then went up to her aunt and told her that she was afraid to stay in the house. She saw him again .on the first Monday night after he left her. He came to her aunt's house and gave her a sovereign to procure some- thing for her eldest child, but nothing for herself. She saw him again on the 23rd of April, but nothing was said that day. On May 7th she was ill in bed, and defendant came to her bedside and again twitted her with being with other men, the result of which was a miscarriage. Reverting to the incident of December 16th, she said that her husband came home from work that day like a madman. She was in bed at the time. He came up- stairs, and asked her for money. She got up from bed, and he dragged her about the room by her hair, and kicked her and struck her till she was bleeding. The following morning he came there with a cart and took everything away, even to the bed upon which she lay. Defendant came again to beg her pardon, and pro- mised he would be a better man and he would give her all his money. To the Bench, complainant stated that if she lived any more with him she would soon be dead. She was subjected to a long cross- examination at the hands of Mr. Phillips, who produced a letter from complainant to her husband in which not a word of complaint was made against. him, but withal concluded with the very significant remark that she would not need any- thing much longer." When asked to explain this passage, she said that her husband was "withering" her to death. Mrs. Davies, Brynawel, aunt of the complainant, stated that complainant came to her house on December 17th. She stayed with her a fortnight. During that time defendant paid a visit, there, and promised to reform, adding that he would become a church member and would turn over a new leaf. She had seen the marks of violence upon Mrs. Davies. She asked defendant what he meant by bringing; this disgrace upon his wife (alluding to his twitting her of connection with other men), and he replied that he believed it. Witness (to Mr. Phillips) said that she was complainant's mother's sister. When it was suggested that she prevented the complainant returning to her husband, she retorted What do I want with an- other man's wife ? I have children of my own." Dr. Hirst, Treherbert, stated that he first examined Mrs. Davies on 18th Dec. last year, and he made another examina- tion on the 29th April following. On December 18th, Mrs. Davies was in bed when he saw her. She was covered with bruises, which had been recently, inflicted. There were in all twenty-two bruises on her body. She complained that she was unable to sleep, and that she was fright- ened. On the last occasion he saw her, she exhibited jneurotic symptoms. Mr. Phillips, for the defence, contended that there was not a tittle of corrobora- tive evidence to prove the case. The defendant, Isaac Davies, denied the several allegations brought against him by his wife. Relating to the incident of 15th April, he said that he came home from work-he was working in Llwynypia —between 3 and 4 o'clock in the after- noon. His food was ready, but the water was not ready. He had no quarrel with her; he only asked her where she had been so long out in the back. He was naked, and he had waited enough in the train, and so forth, without waiting there. When he went out of the house, he went to look for a house. He never told his wife that he would kill her, neither had he twitted her about any men. He met her in Pontypridd some time after, and she begged his pardon, and asked him to take her back. He went several times to ask her to return to him. and he sent her several letters to the same purpose. He was yet willing to take her back. On the subject of the bruises, he had nothing to say of them. He never ill-treated her. Mrs. Morgan, 175, Dumfries Street, Tre- herbert, said that defendant and his wife lived like Darby and Joan," which con- dition, in the good lady's mind, was paramount to a paradisical existence. She never heard plaintiff make any com- plaints against her husband. Of the bed- room incident, witness was sure if any- thing had occurred she would have heard it. Mrs. Samuel, 15, Oakfield Terrace, Llwynvoia, stated that defendant engaged apartments in her house on April 17th for himself and his wife. The apartments were still vacant. An order of 7s. a week was made. Pipe in the Mine. Thomas Roberts, Parry Street, Ton- Pentre, was charged with having a pipe in his possession in the Maindy Colliery on July 17th. James Jones, overman at the colliery, gave evidence. The Stipendiary remarked on the seriousness of the charge, especially in the face of the serious disaster which had occurred in our midst so recently. Fined 20s., including costs. Paternity Order. Florence Emily Howells, a young girl from Pentre, sought a paternity order against Wm. Eastment, who, she alleged, was the father of her illegitimate child. Defendant admitted the paternity, but begged the Bench to be lenient with him, as he was already supporting his father and mother. The usual order was made. Another Treherbert Affair. Yet another Treherbert case in which the complainant, Mary J. Davies, a young married woman, sought a separation order from her husband, David Davies, on the ground of persistent cruelty and threats. The parties hail from Dumfries Street, which street, so far as Monday's proceedings are concerned, has gained an unenviable notoriety. Mr. A. T. James, Pontypridd, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Millward for defendant. At the outset, Mr. Millward said that he would be very pleased if the Bench adjourned the case, inasmuch as the parties were young, and it was a great and serious thing to separate two such young people as they were. Mr. James opened the case for the plaintiff, and said that the parties got on alright except when defendant got drunk. Then he threatened his wife with all manner of things- He was not allowed to go further, the Stipendiary remarking that it was indeed a great pity that the young wife should take such a serious step against her hus- band, if he only acted cruelly towards her when he was drunk. He felt inclined to adjourn the case for a month to see if they could come to terms. Mr. James, for the plaintiff, protested ( against this step, and his protest was I strongly backed up by the young woman, who stated that she would never go back to her husband. The Stipendiary wouJd not hear any- thing of this, but asked the defendant if he would sign the pledge and take back his wife. The defendant signified his willingness to do so. The Stipendiary was on the point of adjourning the case for a month, when Mr. James applied for a reasonable allow- ance to be paid to the complainant during that month. I Mr. Millward was up in arms against this, saying that if defendant would allow his wife any allowance, they would never come to a settlement. The Bench accordingly adjourned the case for a month.

No Change.
No Change. A Cardiff Incident. Many months back, local men and women gratefully told, in these columns, how they had found relief after long kidney suffering. Though it was so long ago that they told the good news, time has wrought no change in the thorough- ness of their cures—no change in their gratitude and enthusiasm over their relief. Read what this Cardiff man says. Mr. W. Holmes, of 20, South William Street, Cardiff, says —" Although nearly 5 years have passed since I was cured of kidney complaint by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I am pleased to be able to say I am still well-there hasn't been any sign of the old trouble returning. Before I used Doan's Pills, I was laid up for four months, and although I had medical treatment, and went into hos- pital, I seemed to get no better. The pains across the small of my back were dreadful. There were also pains around my loins. I seemed to lose all my strength. Hearing Doan's Backache Kid- ney Pills spoken highly of as a kidney medicine, I decided to try them, and I have no reason to regret it, for the cure they effected has proved a lasting and thorough one. I can honestly recommend these splendid pills to all who suffer from kidney complaint." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).

THE HUMOUR OF IGNORANCE.
THE HUMOUR OF IGNORANCE. Mr. W. P. Frith, R.A., in his entertaining Autobiography," giveI some amusing instances Df absolute ignorance on the part of collectors. Oa one occasion, when he was making selections up and down the country for the Winter Exhibi- tion of Old Masters at Burlington House, he visited a vast mansion in the north. The roon's were packed with pictures-hopeless pictures. One of the young ladies of the family took him round, catalogue in hand: ?I, May I ask who that picture is painted by -aid I, pointing to a Wardour-street example. "That is by Titian—'A Holy Family.' Ah !—and this one?" "That" (referring to catalogue) "is by-by- I >omy—Dom—my sister writes so badly I can" quite make out." "Oh, Domenichino," said I. "Is it? Ver interesting. I never saw a picture of foxhound by that painter before." "Yes," said my cicerone; Pack of Hounds. Fox Breaking Cover. "Dear me, I said, "the people in those day8 dressed pretty much as they do now—red coats* top boots, and everything! "So they did," rejoined the young lady; and Domy-what do you call him ?—lived many years ago, didn't he ? "Yes, about three hundred or thereabouts. but perhaps he was a prophet as well as painter, and could foresee the kind of dress tha would be worn in England a few centuries afte his death." I went steadily through this remarkaW gathering without finding a single picture above contempt. t Oh, I had nearly forgotten one of our greatest pictures, always so much admired; it is bX Gainsborough, on the staircase. You won't taking the trouble to mount the stairs ? I followed my guide up several flights 0 stairs, and at length found myself opposite. II whole-length, life-sized portrait of a man 1 armour, as worn during the reign of Elizabeth —a vile picture. Are you sure this is by Gainsborough r inquired. "Perfectly, and it is thought by good judges" (emphasis on good judges )-"to be a very fine Gainsborough." i "Then that great artist," said I, "has adopted a method curiously in opposition to DOMOD" chino, for he has gone back a couple of centurle tÐ paint someone he couldn't possibly have seen.
THE RELIGION OF JAPAN.
THE RELIGION OF JAPAN. Sir Frederick Treves, the famous surgeon, io his wark," The Other Side of the Lantern," gjTeS a fascinating description of the Shinto religioill which belongs only to Japan, and, although 1 may have been modified by the teaching 0 Buddha, remains still the religion of the people. It is the simplest of all the faiths of th world. "Shinto" merely means "God's _a1", and to the founders of the sect, "God's way must have been a way of pleasantness and a path of peace. Shintoism possesses neither sacred books nor an austere code of ethics. It burdened itself with no dogmas, while the seemly cackle of theological discussion never come within its tree-encircled walls. Of the malignity of religious hate, of the bittfv ness of religious persecution, the Shinto flltil knows nothing. Shintoism is represented mainly by elements-by ancestor worship and the adO!i' tion of nature. The former makes it, according to Sir Frederick Treves, "the religion of 01 friends, the religion of lovers, since high among the objects of its homage is fidelity in huwao affection, unforgetfulness of human ties." latter element "concerns itself with the ador»' tion of nature and whatever in it is beautii11 and lovable. It recognises that in the sunshiny in the mountain torrent, in the cherry treel about the meadow, there is a glory which divine." "The Shinto faith would teach that the COll templation of this gentle stretch of wat (Biwa, the «reat lake of Japan) was a rehg10 exercise from which the troubled gather peace, and which would in a with evil in his heart to turn a sacra- purer spirit. It is indeea something 01 ™i Aay merit to sit by the terrace edge on » 9Jv .ve (when there is no disturbing sound b temple bell) to look over the lake and with the divineness of its presence."
