South Wales Women's Temperance Association. Half-Yearly Meeting at Ton. The half-yearly meeting of the above was held at Ton-Pehtre on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 27th and 28th ult. The conferences and executive meetings were held at the Workmen's Institute and Jerusalem Chapel, Ton, whilst the vestry had been procured for the preparation of luncheons. Great activity was displayed throughout both days, as with every train numbers of ladits wearing the now familiar badge, U.D.M.D., came to the meetings. The founder, Miss Rees (Cranogwen), was with them, and it must have gratified her very greatly to see the success which had been attained through the instrumentality of the association, which has only existed for five years, and which, by the way, was first instituted at Ton, the local branch being the first one brought into existence; there was, therefore, peculiar interest attached to this gathering on these days. There were several prayer meetings held, in which there was great fervour and earnestness. The speaking was excellent, showing the great possibilities that lie with the elderly women and young women, too, of our various localities, if they but take hold of these chances and opportunities given them of doing good. Women have a special work to do in connection with temperance, and it is seen that this asso- ciation has supplied the need which has been felt in South Wales throughout the years. The local secretary, Miss Esther Lewis, aided by an excellent committee, and its chairwoman, Mrs. Ellen Evans, made capital arrangements to entertain the visitors, of which there were a large number. On Tuesday evening, a public meeting was held, when several, including the Rev. Mr. Hughes, Mountain Ash. and C'ranogwen, who presided, gave very ex- cellent and inspiring addresses. On Wednesday evening, a, public meet- ing was held at Jerusalem Chapel, and it presented a remarkable sight in that the seats in the body of the chapel were all occupied by ladies—a remarkable sight, and one not to be soon forgotten. The chair was occupied by Mrs. Herbert Lewis, wife of Mr. J. H. Lewis, M.P. (Junior Lord of the Treasury). She had a rousing, reception. In her opening I remarks, she said that this was her first visit to the Rhondda. She was always glad to meet temperance workers in all places, but especially was she glad to meet Christian temperance workers. She represented, that day, the Temperance Women's Association of North Wales, and she would be able to give that-association an encouraging report of what she had seen and heard in South Wales. She emphasised the necessity upon all Chris- tian people to become total abstainers, for the sake of the children and in honour of the Saviour, whose name they had taken upon them. The greatest men did not need monuments at all, because they lived through their good deeds and words in the hearts of the people. A few pointed remarks were directed to the mothers present respecting teaching chil- dren to shun this great evil of strong drink. Her address was frequently applauded. Mrs. Timothy Davies, London, then rendered an appropriate solo. The Rev. John Thomas, Merthyr, addressed the meeting in Welsh. He contended that the principles of total abstinence should be very much more taken up than at present, and everything that would bring this about should be taken advantage of. Small tracts should be distributed, explaining certain telling facts against drink. He was glad to see that, things were moving in this respect -of how the Church of God was to become more free from the clutches of the drink traffic. The elders and preachers, and members generally, were becoming more pronounced in their views in this matter than had been the case before. He felt inclined to pay a, tribute to that army of temperance, workers, who had in times gone by worked heart and soul with Bands of Hope, and who had done all in their power to popularise the temperance cause when to do so was unpopular. There was a vast decrease to be noticed in the consumption of drink in this country, as the drink bill had decreased consider- ably in the last few years. He referred to Parliament being more, in sympathy with temperance than ever before; and also referred to the great Bill which had been promised for next year. He wanted Local Veto, the Sunday closing of clubs, and other reforms necessary. Also a better representation for Nonconformity on the magistrates' bench throughout the country (applause). Mrs. Williams, Penrhiwceiber, rendered a, solo. Mrs. Williams, Pontrhydyfen, made some further useful remarks. A resolution embodying certain requests was unanimously passed, and directed to be sent to the local Parliamentary repre- sentative, the Prime Minister, and other members of the Cabinet. A hearty vote of thanks was then accorded to Mrs. H. Lewis for presiding, and to all who had contributed to the success of the meeting.

Beerbohm Tree and His .Majesty's Theatre Company Coming to Cardiff. Oneriing ArrangementS for the New Theatre. Mr. Redford opens his new theatre at Cardiff on Monday, December 10th. This in itself is an important theatrical event, but coupled with the fact that Mr. H. Beerbohm Tree is coming down himself and bringing his entire company, staff, and scenery from His Majesty's Theatre, December 10th week should stand as the greatest theatrical week Cardiff has ever known. The booking last Monday had beaten all past record, and yet the theatre is so beautifully designed that there are still plenty of seats in all parts. The opening night, Thursday, and Saturday (matinee), "Twelfth Night will be played. On the Tuesday and Saturday evenings, Trilby and The Man Who Was" will be in the bill. For the, Wednesday matinee and Friday even- xi).g, Colonel Newcome will be played and' the Wednesday evening, Hamlet."

A New Opening for Home' Missions.

A New Opening for Home' Missions. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader." Sir,—In your issue of the 24th ult., I note the report of a meeting at Salem Baptist Chapel, Porth, of delegates from all churches in the two Rhonddas, for the purpose of furthering the Sunday closing of Clubs, and bringing them more under the control of the magistrates: I also note that the Rhondda Nonconformist League has aspirations in the same direc- tion. It is a pity so much energy should be wasted, as it will be, for the simple reason tnat the clerical gentlemen who are ex- pending the energy have not taken steps to procure accurate knowledge of the institutions they so determinedly attack. I have been enabled through your kind- ness to answer those who, in this district, have publicly attacked Clubs since this Club opened; and I need not. repeat what has already been said, but I extend to the rev. gentlemen an invitation, in which I believe many of our Clubs will join; for our Club I speak with authority. Come among us, become members with us:, visit us as often as you choose, take your turn with others on our Sunday evening lecture stage, answer questions and debate what you advance (as all our lecturers must); and if you are possessed of tact, good feeling and common cour- tesy, you will find a, field in which you can enormously assist our efforts, which you will then discover to be praiseworthy and intelligently directed. Most Clubs find it necessary to restrain many of their members, in the use of stimulants (for we are but human), and for that purpose we have a vigilance officer, whose duty it is: to promenade the establishment, with power to stop supplies to, any member who shows any sign of having had enough, not waiting for the too much" stage. Sometimes, though very rarely, the officer may yield to temptation (such lapses will occur among the non-abstaining portion of church or chapel officials just as readily); but the effect with us; is disastrous for the moment. Now, if the clerical gentlemen or some temperance member of their selection would undertake this duty, thert would be less fear of accidents, and more real temperance work would be done than the last century, with its steadily increasing drink bill, can boast of. This invitation is not a joke. A number of educated clerics among, us, mixing freely with us, becoming part of us, lecturing and debating with us, would inevitably hasten the social, moral and intellectual im- provement at which we aim; while the benefits we would obtain would be re- paid. They, our clerical friends, would obtain an extended view of life—Club life -—which to them at present is a terra incognita,; the more intelligent of them would recognise its immense possibilities for good, and ignorant opposition would give place to' enthusiastic support. If this invitation is not accepted, then I say to them (and a, million club mem- bers will shout Hear, heaiM, Stand aside and let us alone. We can neither be governed nor improved from outside, but must work out our own salvation. If you will not, be part of us, letting your personal influence work for the general benefit, according to the intrinsic value of each of you, and exercising your legis- lative abilities to the extent of the one vote per man which our rules allow, then we decline to let you have one word to say on the subject, because that word, being founded on ignorance, must- result in error." I have little fear of the effect of any clerical memorial to Parliament. Greater heads than ever wagged in a Rhondda pulpit have stamped their approval on the Club movement and participated in its formation and extension, while our present executive is composed of men who have established a position of in- fluence among statesmen of all parties, which I cannot conceive any assembly of divines being able to shake. Yet I think a, public debate on this question might serve to allay the local prejudice against Workmen's Clubs so prevalent among the least informed of all classes of our popu- lation. Will those who so loudly con- demn us, where there are none to plead our cause, meet us face to face on • a public platform under an impartial chair- man? We can produce, from our own ranks, men who can meet any local talent among the clerics; and if they wish to bring one of their great guns from else- where, we can do the same. Dare they meet this challenge ? I fear not. If they will meet us fairly in public. I shall ex- pect, whichever side shows the weakest case, to admit its defeat, and give up the battle. If they decline to meet us, then, in the name of the Christianity they preach, I demand that thev for ever after keep silence about Clubs. I am forwarding this challenge to the chairman of the Porth meeting and to the president of the Nonconformist League, accompanied by a volume of Club history, so that they shall not come to the en- counter void of information and I shall wait for their reply with all the warrior's eagerness for the fray, and with a large allowance of curiosity. Hoping I have not wearied you.—I remain, yours, &c., JAS. B. GRANT, Secretary. National Democratic Club, Penygraig.

The Palace, Porth. The programme provided at the Palace of Varieties, Porth, is quite up to its usual high standard this week. The famous Cattaneosi Troupe, who head the bill, introduce a new kind of eccentric acrobatic act with somersault in pirouette and double somersault. They are extra- ordinary jumpers and tumblers. Percie Galino is very successful in his refined musical pot-pourri; whilst Jean Seul, illusionist, presents an Indian mystery. Ronald Bayne and Evelyn Hope are seen to advantage in an historical duologue, "An Emperor's Divorce." Tom Garland is a. great hit, being a Welsh natural ventriloquist, who rose from pit-boy to the stage. Other good turns are Georgie Mansell, Ethel Yorke, Tom Vine, Sam Redfern, and the Palace Electric Bioscope.

Football 1906. 1907. Season. Notes on Sport. Perhaps it is not wide of the mark to assert that the major portion of Welsh football enthusiasts were present last Saturday at Swansea to witness the never- to-be-forgotten match—Wales v. Spring- boks. The enthusiasm displayed before the game commenced gradually died out as the struggle progressed. If the Welsh side were defeated, on the day's play they deserved it; and the majority of the onlookers took the defeat in a thoroughly manly spirit. In the matter of speed the South Africans were, without a doubt, the superiors; in the matter of scientific play the visitors bore the palm. In every par- ticular the Colonials were the better team, outclassing their opponents; and it must be admitted that the visitors have initiated a higher standard of Rugby football. Dyke (Penarth) was one of the shining lights of the Welsh team; and the same mav be said of Teddy Morgan; whilst of the Springboks, to individualise is quite unnecessary. Mr. George Bowen (touch- line judge) expressed the opinion that in the next international several changes would have to be made. Two three- quarters would have to go, one half-back, and two or three forwards. Such a contre- temps as 1 goal 2 tries to nil is a knock- down blow to this country's representa- tives, and will in future ensure a much more searching test to those who are responsible for our national prestige. Ton-Pentre's Success. The result of the match between Ton- Pentre and Barry District came rather as a surprise, Barry having created a favourable impression in the first half. In the second moiety, however, Ton had all their own way, and completely out- manoeuvred their opponents. For the homesters Winder was the hero of the game, whilst for Barry Winch, Isles, and Bryant were the best. » Cwmparc Football. Cwmparc Reserves played Mardy Corin- thians (a. Second Division League match) at Mardy on Saturday last, and were un- lucky to lose by 2 goals to nil, having had quite as much of the game as the winners. The Reserves were below their usual strength owing to the grate fit,o at Swansea. Next Saturday, Cwmparci play Nelson at home, and will give a trial to a new full-back of considerable reputation. The Reserves play Caerau in a League match away. The first League struggle of the season between Cwmparc and Ton-Pentre will take place on the ground of the former on December 15th, the originally arranged date of December 1st having been fore- gone owing to Ton playing Barry in a cup-tie. Tonyrefail Football. Football at Tonyrefail on Saturday was very uneventful owing to the great match at Swansea. Tonyrefail 2nds played Tre- I banog 2nds, the latter winning by one try to nil. St. David's Church Football Team played the Bible Christian Team, and inflicted a defeat on the latter of three tries to nil.

-+-+--+- Under "Soccer" Rules. Ton-Pentre v. Barry District. Ton-Pentre met Barry District in the second round for the Welsh Cup at Ynys Park, Ton, on Saturday, before a fair attendance. Both teams were well repre- sented. Teams: Ton-Pentre: Goal, Coleman; backs, Chillington and R. Jones; half-backs, Mars, Grant, and Harding; forwards, Winder, W. Jones, Curtis, Jenkins, and Breeze. Barry District: Goal, G. Dixon backs, G. Bryant and H. Poole; half-backs, Stillman, Wilson, and Roberts; forwards, Haynes, Isles, Thornbull, Winch, and Greenaway. Referee, Mr. Henry Jones, Llandrindod. For the first, few minutes Barry attacked hotly, and kept the home custodian busily engaged. Then Ton took up the aggres- sive, Winder being prominent. Barry came away, and Isles very cleverly defeated the home custodian, securing the first goal. Later, Dai Jenkins headed the ball into the net. Greenaway after- wards succeeded in giving his side the lead. Half-time score:—Barry District, 2 goals; Ton-Pentre, 1 goal. In the second half, Barry were kept on the defensive, and Winder succeeded in placing three goals before the call of time. Winder also placed nicely for Jon- kins, who netted Ton's fifth coal. Result: Goals. Ton-Pentre 5 Barry District 2

Concert at Williamstown. A lecture-concert was held at Nazareth (C.M.) Chapel on Thursday evening. The chair was occupied by Mr. Tom Evans; M.B., Llwynypia. The lecturer was Mr. Jacob Davies, and he was assisted by Miss Dora Davies (soprano), Miss Sarah Bell (mezzo-soprano), and Miss Maud Bradbury (contralto). The following local artistes also contributed towards the pro- gramme —Madame Reynolds Morgan, Penygraig; Mr. ReesWilliams, Peny- graig Master T. Rees, Penygraig; violinist, Mr. D. J. Powell, Williams- town and Miss Bessie Rowlands (elocu- tionist). The subject of the lecture by Mr. Davies was The Reminiscences of the Old Leaders of Singing throughout the country during his boyhood days." The lecture was, fairly interesting, but there was nothing great in it. To a resi- dent in St. Fagan's it would perhaps prove appreciative. Mr. Davies dwelt mostly on the singing leaders of the above district, and not on those throughout the country as the subject would suggest. A mention was made of Ieuan Gwyllt. The majority of those mentioned were un- heard of. The following programme was gone through: -Solo, "R'wy'n myn'd," Madame Reynolds Morgan; violin solo, Auld Lang Syne," Master T. Rees; lec- ture, Mr. Jacob Davies recitation, "O Nefol Amen," Miss Bessie Rowlands; solo, with the same words, "0 Nefol Amen," Mr. Rees Williams; trios (a), "Yr Aderyn Pur," (b) "Clychau Aberdyh," the Misses Dora Davies, Sarah Bell, and Maud Broadbent; solo, "Friend," Miss Sarah Bell; solo, Yr Hen Gerddor solo, Alone on the Raft," Miss Maud Bradbury (encored); duet, "0 tell me, gentile stranger," Miss Sarah Bell and Mr. Jacob Davies (encored); solo, "It was a dream," Miss Dora Davies; duet, "Y Ddau Grwydryn," Misses Davies and Bell; solo, "Gwlad y Delyn," Miss Sarah Bell. trio, Hop y deri dando," the Misses Dora Davies, Sarah Bell, and Maud Bradbury.

Rhondda C.E. Union, Quarterly Meeting at Ynyshir. The Christian Endeavourers of the two Rhonddas having united last May into a local 1Jnioii, according to the desires of the National Council of Wales, are going forward with zeal and energy. The Executive of the Union met last Wednesday, under the presidency of the Rev. R. E'. Salmon, at Ynyshir, and reports were given from the various societies showing an increase in C.E. work in the district. After dealing with the business, the Executive adjourned to a public meeting, which was held at Bethel English Baptist Church, under the presidency of the Rev. T. Davies, the minister. The Rev. R. E. Salmon, Porth (presi- dent of the Union), delivered a most powerful sermon upon the words, My son do not follow the multitude to do evil "—a 20th century advice to young people. The crowd, said Mr. Salmon, were not always necessarily wrong, but there were times when it militated against conscience, and it required courage to resist the multitude when losing itself in blind evils. It was not all well when con- science was aroused, unless that rousing took form in public speech and actions. He urged the Endeavourers to watch and seek opportunities to resist the wrong, even the multitude were against them, and remember that to be on God's side, although alone, was to be in the majority. Mr. Rhys J. Davies, Ton-Pentre, also spoke at some length of O.E. work in Wales-its growth and progress. He made some remarks regarding the establishment of organisations and institutions in the Rhondda upon which the young should proclaim an unanimous verdict—a ver- dict, of disfavour. Apart from any reli- gious motive, they were a curse; but when we considered the tremendous ad- vantages afforded to our governing autho- rities, they did not legislate for the wel- fare of the best, but generally the crowd," even when wrongly informed, led some of its leaders into a groove un- worthy of themselves. He urged those present to aim at bringing Christianity into practice, as life without religion in practice meant little more than nothing. The meeting closed with the singing of the Doxofogy.

Conjugal Troubles at Blaengwynfi. Husbnnd Objects to Keeping Lodgers. Margaret Bowen, of Gwynfi Street, Blaengwynfi, summoned her husband, Griffith Bowen, at, Aberavon on Monday for wilfully neglecting to provide main- tenance for herself and family. Mr. Lewis M. Thomas appeared for defendant. Complainant said that she had been married seventeen years and had seven children alive. Defendant had constantly neglected her and abused her. She had followed him to Cymmer over the moun- tain to get money, and he had beat her into unconsciousness and left her on the mountain for three hours. Defendant had come in on one occasion and sat down at the table to eat the only bit of food that had been placed for the children. Defen- dant had accused her of misconduct with the lodgers. Defendant said that he did not neglect his wife and family. Complainant was of a very excitable nature, and he had a lot to do to put up with her (laughter). She was awful sometimes (laughter). He was willing to keep his wife and children with- out lodgers. Mr. Lewis Thomas said there was no case of desertion or neglect. In a small house complainant persisted in keeping lodgers where there were seven children The Chairman The husband certainly has a right to object to lodgers. Complainant: I would rather die than go back with him. The case was adjourned for a month.

Posthumous Children.

Posthumous Children. A Novel Case. Judge Bryn Robert's Decision. On Friday last at the Porth County Court, Judge Bryn Roberts delivered his award in a case in which Mrs. Margaret Ann Williams sought to recover E190 from the Ocean Colliery Company on behalf of herself and her child in respect of the death of her husband, William Edward Williams, who was killed at Blaengarw Colliery. The point at issue was the position of posthumous children under the Compensation Act. Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas) appeared for applicant, and Mr. Vazie Simons for the respondents. His Honour said the facts of the case were novel and extraordinary. Deceased was killed in April last, whilst the child was not born until September. Appli- cant had not been supported by deceased since Easter, 1904, and soon after that date deceased went to sea, and applicant received no communication from him until July, 1905, upon his return to this country. She declined to meet him at Liverpool owing to his conduct in not pro- viding her with a home. Deceased, how- ever, renewed overtures to his wife to come to live with him, and after obtain- ing work at Blaengarw he arranged to meet applicant- on the mountain side from time to time. A child was born in Sep- tember, but in the meantime deceased had been killed at the colliery. Having quoted some cases relative to the issue, the Judge said that these did not assist him very much, and it appeared to him that the dependency of the posthumous children upon the earnings of workmen had been completely overlooked by the: Legislature. If it had been made out that the mother was dependent upon her husband, then it would be rather hard to > debar the child from being similarly dependent. There must, however, be actual, and not merely legal dependency, and inasmuch as the mother was not at the time of the death of the deceased dependent upon him, he could not see how the nosthumous child could be depen- dent. His Honour thereupon found for the resnondents. Mr. A. T. James made an application for a. stay of execution for the purpose of appeal, which was granted.

A Tonypandy Man Again. A thing may occur once, and we do not notice it, or twice, or thrice; but when it happens again and again, and neigh- bours tell us of it, then we cannot. over- look it any longer. With unfailing regu- larity neighbours come forward and grate- fully tell us of their good fortune. It is good fortune for us to hear of such ell-, couraging news. I have had kidney trouble for years, and I am glad to say I have found great benefit from Doan's Backache Kidney Pills," says Mr. David Thomas, 105, Prim- rose Street, Tonypandy. My urinary system was very much affected; some- times the kidney secretions were scanty, while at other times I had a frequent desire to pass them, which caused me pain. I also had severe pains in my back and across my loins, and now and then I came over dizzy. I was persuaded to try Doan's Pills, and after taking a. few doses I found they were doing me good. I kept on with the pills then, and I am a great deal better for taking them they have done me over so much good. You may publish these facts, for the sake of other sufferers. (Signed) David Thomas." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills should: be taken at the first sign of anything wrong. There is no other safe way. be- cause kidney disease is dangerous, and must not be neglected. Doan's Pills strengthen the kidneys and help them in their work of filtering the poisonous wastes from the blood, thus keeping it pure and healthy. When the kidneys are weak and diseased, they cannot do this important work, and you will begin to suffer with pains in the back and limbs, headache, sleeplessness, dizzy spells, misty sight; and unless the kidneys get quick and special help, you will be in danger of serious illness dropsy, rheumatism, sciatica, urinary and bladder disorders. That, is why Doan's Pills should be used at the first sign of kidney disease. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).
