Trealaw. The annual Sunday School outing of Carmel (E.B.) Chapel, Trealaw, took pla,ce on Thursday last, when the venue for this year was Penarth. The weather was most uninviting throughout the day, rain falling incessantly. Under the circum- stances, it was impossible for the children to indulge in outdoor amusements, so "Andrews' Hall was commandeered for the occasion. Excepting the short time occu- pied for meals, the little ones romped and played, under cover, to their heart's con- tent. A few of the party ensconced them- selves in the public shelter on the beach, whiling away the time in tuneful song. With Mr. Billy Leech conducting. At 8.45 p.m., the party entrained for home, which they reached at 10 o'clock, none the worse

Tow=Pen ti»e Police Court.
= Tow=Pen ti»e Police Court. Moiiday.-Before the Stipendiary (Mr. Arthur Lewis), Alderman E. H. Davies, i Councillors R. iS. Griffiths and W. T. Jones, and County Councillor Enoch Da vies. MIDNIGHT ROWDIES. Edwin Bennett, butcher, Treherbert, was charged with rowdy conduct on the highway after midnight. P.O. Phillips deposed that defendant, in company with two other young men (who had been fined), knocked at doors, banged gates, and were so noisy as to alarm people, who put their heads out of windows to ascertain the cause of the dis- turbance. One of the young men, added witness, knocked down a pillar near a residence. Mr. T. Millward, solicitor, who defen- ded1 called Bennett, and the latter denied having participated in the rowdy conduct. He met the other men casually, and walked some distance with them. Cross-examined by Inspector Edwards, he denied that he had been cautioned by a Treorchy policeman on the night in question. The Stipendiary said the case had been gone into thoroughly on the previous occa- sion, and the magistrates were of the opinion that they had no reason to alter their decision. A similar fine of 15s. was imposed. MAGISTRATE'S ADVICE. Benjamin Motrgan, Richard Davies, James Mars and John Mars, young men from Cwmparc, were summoned for play- ing; cards for money on the Cwmparc, mountain on Sunday. P.C. 31 watched defendants in plain clothes, and surprised them by getting quite near before he was detected. Give up card playing and go to Sunday School," was the advice given by Alder- man E. H. Davies (chairman), in fining defendants 10s. and 15s. each. "MAD DRUNK." I was mad drunk," was the admission made by Morgan Evans, a young Pentre collier, who was summoned for using filthy language on coming out of the Pentre Theatre. P.O. Dennet proved the case. I should think so," retorted Alderman E. H. Davies; your language was awful." Fined 10s. DRUNKS. John Davies, Penygraig, 15s. Thomas Jones, Trealaw, 15s. PLAYING BALL IN THE STREET. Gomer Williams and Thomas Jones, Treherbert lads, were fined 2s. 6d. for playing ball in the street.
Orchestral Concert at Ynyshit*.
Orchestral Concert at Ynyshit*. On Sunday evening, a grand sacred coai- oert was given at the Workmen's Hall by Mr. fercie G. Smith's Orchestra, whicn consisted of forty performers (previous to their tour in Mid Wales), assisted by — Soprano, Madame M. Mills-Reynolds, L.R.A.M. tenor, Mr. David Thomas, W attstown (pupil of Mr. Tom Tnomas, L.R.A.M., A.C.M., Ynyshir); solo 'cello, Miss Jenny Jones, Carditt. The first item on the programme was an over- ture, "SoDlaramldes n (Rossini), which was played with such thrilling efiect that the conductor received quite an ovation after the rendering. Then followed a song by Madame Mills-Reynolds, entitled She wandered down the mountain side (Clay), with orchestra, after which Mr. Percie G. Smith and orchestra gave the Introduction" in the third act of Lohengrin (Wagner) in grand style. A symphony, Hymn of Praise" (Mendel- ssotai), which followed, deserves special praise. Deeper aad deeper still" (Handel) was beautifully sung by Mr. D. Thomas, who, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Tom Bonnell, came to the rescue at a moment's notice. An overture, Merry Wives of Windsor (Nicolai), reflected great credit on the conductor and orchestra. One of the best and most praiseworthy items of the evening was a 'cello solo, Consolation (Squire), by Miss Jenny Jones. Her performance was remarkably well, and was loudly applauded and encored by the large and appreciative audience and pea-formers, to which she replied with "Caprice," by Johnson. Another song, Tell me not" (Mozart), with orchestra accompaniment, by Madame Mills-Reynolds, was capably rendered, her top notes being reached with ease and comfort. Another overture, Andante Cantabile (Tchaicovsky), speaks well for the accuracy of conductor and orchestra. The movements were excellently done. Lend me your aid" (Gounod), by Mr. David Thomas, with orchestra accompani- ment, was above -ar." The last item was an overture, "Poet and Peasant" (Su-ppe), which was magnificent in itself, the waltz being very much appreciated by the musical audience. The conductor, Mr. Smith, is to be congratulated for the able manner with which he wielded his baton, and deserves credit for his un- tiring efforts in attaining such perfection with his orchestra. The duties of secre- tary were ably carried out by Mr. Rees, a member of the orchestra,. We wish the conductor and orchestra every success on their tour.
Ferndale Man at Blsley.
Ferndale Man at Blsley. Among the 36 competitors for the "Daily Graphic" trophy at Bisley on Tuesday was Sergt. E. Price, Ferndale, who belongs to the Pontypi-idd Detach- ment of the 5th Welsh. Indeed, Sergt. Price was the only Welshman among the competitors for the D.G." He had a bull's eye for his sighting shot, and two bulls for competition, when he fell away to the magpie. His score per shot was j 5 5 3 5 5 5 3—31. There were several bi s, and on a re-yhoot with three rounds each Chief Gunner Nestling, R.N., proved to be the winner. Sergt. Price is 36 years of age, and started Volunteering in 1891. In 1895 he first competed at the Glamorgan county meeting, then held on Port Talbot Moors. He has never won the Talbot, though lie has several times run very close for that honour. He is this year making his ninth appearance at an N.R.A. meeting, and has three times shot in the Welsh inter- national team. By trade he is a winding engineman, and is employed at the Fern- dale Collieries of Messrs. D. Davis and Sons.

. Amazing Cheque Story.
Amazing Cheque Story. Former Porth Resident Sued by Bank. Case Fails. At Glamorgan Assizes on Tuesday (before Mr. Justice Cha-nnell), the case was resumed in which Lloyds Bank (Limited) sued Nicholas Llewellyn, a retired gentleman, of Park House, Barry Dock, for L326, due on his account. Mr. Abel Thomas, K.CL, M.P., and Mr. Scott (instructed by Messrs. Wragge and Co., Birmingham) were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C., and Mr. John Sankey (instructed by Mr. W. R. Davies, Pontypridd) defended. The details of the case, as explained by counsel, were amazing. Mr. Llewellyn was a publican in the Rhondda for many years, and .had traded with the bank since 1895. Defendant left for a visit to America, and while there a cheque for £ 325, signed N. Llewellyn," was made payable to Ii W. A. Scott." It was alleged by the defendant that he had written no cheque for 9325. Mr. R. A. Lewis, the bank manager, acknowledged that he always found defen- dant honest, and Mr. John Duncan Jones, accountant, said he honoured the cheque without hesitation, whilst Mr. T. H. Guerrin, handwriting expert, declared that to the best of his belief" the signature on the draft was that of Mr. Llewellyn". The defence was that the signature on the draft concerned was 'forged. The defendant, Nicholas Llewellyn went into the box, and said that he got to Toronto on August 19th, and he was going into the 'bus belonging to the Queen's Hotel when lie saw someone lie tnought he knew, but could not recognise him. Later on, when lie was with his brother-in-law, he recognised him as Mr. David, of Cardiff, who had been a traveller, whom witness had often seen at Porth. Handed the cheque, witness emphati- CiHuy denied having, signed it. The man David was recognised by his wife as a man who had given evidence about the Porth Refreshment- Rooms, and he admit- ted that she said, Don't have anything to do. wIth that man he looks as if he wanted to borrow money (laughter). He did not suggest that this man David had any onoortunity of seeing his signature, so as to copy it. He had told Mr. Jones not to honour any cheques coming from America. Mr. Willi tins: Were you ever on the spree in America at all?—Never. And never signed any cheques t-lierep- No. Mrs. Llewellyn said her husband never went on the spree in America. As to the man David, he was so gushing when he met them that she said, Take care of that man, he wants to borrow money" (laughter). Mr. Abel Thomas: Your husband is a verv generous man? (Laughter). Witness I don't know. Mr. Thomas: Oh, I'm sorry I asked you (laughter). Witness: Well, I don't consider him generous (loud laughter). Defendant's daughter also testified to the sobriety of her father in America. "A CLEVER FORGERY." Henry Blockley, London, was called as a handwriting expert, and testified that lie believed the signature was a very clever forgery. The forger showed failure and hesitation in the middle of tho signature. William Edwards, defendant's brother- in-law, an estate agent at Wilkesbarre, said he did not believe his brother-in-law signed the cheque, and he did not speak to any strangers in Wilkesbarre. In reply to the Judge, Mr. Edwards said he knew persons named Scott and Rees in his neighbourhood, but not a W. A. Scott. He did not know them. In summing up, his Lordship said the sole question the jury might direct their attention to was whether it was Mr. Llewellyn's signature or not. As a jury, they had a right to express their own opinion by their verdict. Experts were only useful to point out details which were not observable to the ordinary eyes. This signature bore great resemblance to that of Mr. Llewellyn. The differences pointed out were only minute. If it was a forgery, it was not done in the usual way of laborious copying, but written straight off. It was said that there were persons clever enough to do that, but he did not know whether that was so. The jury returned a verdict for, defeii- dant.
Cardiganshire Cancer Treatment.
Cardiganshire Cancer Treatment. Change in Medical Opinion. Within the last few months, several medical men have changed their opinion in respect to the treatment of Cancer and Tumours. They find operations and the use of the knife have a tendency to quicken the development of growth and to spread the disease through the system. It is now generally accepted the mode of treatment which is the least painful and which prolongs life, is the use of medi- cine, and such is the course now adopted in the well-known Cardiganshire cases. Throughout South Wales, a herbal pre- paration, made in three strengths, has effected some marvellous cures of cancerous growths, lupus, ulcerated legs, piles, and akin diseases. A large number of authen- ticated testimonials having already been received, and from the numerous tests made, the proprietors feel convinced cer- tain benefits will result from the use of the ointment to persons suffering from any of the above diseases, and they recom- mend sufferers to give Mannina Ointment an immediate trial. This Ointment can be obtained of Mr JOHN DAVIES, Chemist, 14. Dunraven Street, Tonypandy Mr W. T. DAVIES, Chemist, &c The Bridge Phatmacy, Porth Mr. D. E. DAVIES, Chemist, &c., Treorchy.

Vanished ' Millionaire.' I
Vanished Millionaire.' I Lordly Feasts Still Unpaid For. Streams of Tradcsmsh en the Doorstep. There is a certain house in Park Lane up the steps of which there flows and ebbs a never-ending procession of sad-visaged men and women. Day unto day heareth their lamentations, and there appears to be no joy left in them. Behind this mournful procession there lies an entertaining story ntertaiiiing, that is, from the point of view of those not immediately concerned. They have just begun to leak out, and are, according to disaffected witnesses, as follows Some two months ago a gentleman, with an outward and visible American accent, rented the particular house in Park Lane. Incidentally, when the agreement was being talked over with the house agent, he mentioned that he was the soft of a millionaire. He also mentioned this interesting fact to the various grateful tradespeople who assisted to turn the house into the usual Park Lane palace of delight. Huge vans came and went, beautiful furniture filled the rooms, the choicest vintages did the same for the cellars, and everything was absolutely hurrah! COSTLY ENTERTAINMENTS. There followed in pleasant succession costly entertainments, and the American gentleman was soon quite the most popu- lar person in Park Lane. Never were there such dinners, such entertainment, sufh open-handed .scattering of the good things of this earth, said his grateful and enthusiastic guests. Then came a day, a terrible day, a belief-shattering day, when the American gentleman was not. He disappeared as completely and as suddenly as he had arrived. And then, indeed, was heard weening and wailing and gnashing of teeth. CHARTERING YACHTS. ¡ The next chapter in this tragedy of errors is furnished by a well-known firm of yacht designers and brokers. About ten days ago they received a, letter dated from the Hotel Metropole, Brighton, from someone who said he wished to charter a yacht for the summer. A week later he called at their office D" appointment. He had the unmistakable bloom of the affluent. He said that he owned a. yacht in America, and gave the name of a gentleman for whom the firm had designed a yacht. He also incident- ally mentioned that he was the son of a millionaire. And he gave his address at Park Lane. The member for the firm promised to send nlans of the yacht round- that night. But in looking, over his list of American yacht-owners, when his prospective cus- tomer had gone, he found his name strangely missing. So with admirable nrudence, instead of posting the plans on, he sent a representative round with them to Park Lane. GONE FROM PARK LANE. That representative found a very cold and inhospitable look about the house in Park Lane. And it was some little time before he could get any response to his polite rings. Finally, when the door was opened, it was done so very grudgingly to the extent of about half an inch by an elderly woman. She was not particularly conversational, but the representative wrung from her the facrt that she was the caretaker. He also gathered from her that the gentleman he wanted had been missing for three weeks; and that there were quite a, num- ber of other people who wanted him, too. In fact, the tradespeople in the neigh- bourhood never seemed to be off the door- step. The servants had long taken their departure, as they had a deep-rooted antipathy to working for nothing. The elderly housekeeper bitterly added that she wished she knew the address of the Americair gentleman, as the Marathon Race was a trifle to the ground she covered daily in answering the bell for anxious inquirers. And that is the situation at the present time. You can easily recognise the house for yourself by the stream of melancholy looking callers at the door. v

Europe with a burden beneath the weight, of which they staggered. But there was one arm—the British Navy—which they must support at its proper strength and efficiency. Without any attempt to em- bark upon vain and foolish competition, their mission should be to secure the naval supremacy of this country, upon which their lives, their liberties, their peaceful industry, and their democratic progress all equally depended (cheers). "Odious Movement of Reaction." Free Trade was another groat cause from which they must not divert their attention. The Protectionist, heresy was presented in every conceivable variety of form, and many quite intelligent men got Bucked in by it. They would find, how- ever, there was only one object behind the policy of the Tariff Reformers, and that was the advantage of private and selfish interests over the general advan- tage of the community. What did they mean when they talked about broadening .the basis of taxation, except making the working classes pay a larger share? (Cheers). The indirect taxation they Wouid impose upon corn, meat, and dairy produce would be paid, at least three- quarters of it, by the working classes. Remissions of taxation would not be for the benefit of those who got weekly wages, but for those whoso wealth was derived from the interest upon accumulated capital. The Protectionist movement was anti-Socialist. It was not merely an attempt to keep the existing balance between the classes of this country—and that was not a very even balance—but definitely to alter the relations of the different classes of his Majesty's subjects and their contributions to the State, and to make the alterations sensibly to the disadvantage of the labour classes, and sensibly to the advantage of those who did not have to labour (cheers). However it was wrapped up that was an odious movement of reaction, and he called upon them strenuously to exert themselves against it. He did not say Free Trade was itself a solution of all difficulties or a remedy for all human ills. They knew that was not so. They knew they must advance by many roads towards the better state of things they saw in the distance, and towards which he thought they were if painfully, approaching. They believed that Free Trade, by preserving commcrcifi from monopoly, and bv pre- serving Government from corruption, pre- served the rights of the unorganised many against the appetites of the strongly organ- ised few. In preserving those principles they would not only be building rul) in their own country those conditions best suited for the getting of wealth, but they would also erect, and maintain a great cause on the principles of social justice and scientific truth which would form the priceless inheritance of man when their small nart in the world had been played (loud cheers'). The resolution was unanimously carried. Charman of Welsh Party. Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Churchill and the other speakers, said lie was glad to have the opportunity of being ctu the same platform as Mr. Henderson. This was a privilege which he seldom enjoyed, though he was frequently with him in the same lobby in the House of Commons (hear, hear). He maintained that, it would be a, bad day for the Labour Party, if they dissociated themselves from the Liberal Party. Mr. Tom Richapds, M.P. Mr. Tom Richards, M.P., seconded the vote of thanks, and referred to the state- ment that men from Ebbw Vale spoke in favour of Tariff Reform at the Pembroke election. These were not Ebbw Vale men at all, but men who had followed the manager there. The Ebbw Vale men were all supporters; of the present Govern- ment in their programme of social reform (applause). Capt. Fred Guest, in response to a request for a speech," expressed his delight at being of some sea-vice in bring- ing his cousin, Mr. Churchill, to the meeting. The arrangements for the huge demon- stration were perfect, and reflected credit on the organising ability displayed by the agent and secretary, Mr. D. Watts Morgan. _——
