The Laboratory, 69, Dock Street, Newport, Mod., Sept 13th, 1905. Messrs. A. BueIIan It Ge., Rhymney. Dear Sirs, I have analysed a sample Gallon of your ALL BRIGHT ALE received from you In screw-stoppered Flagons, and beg to hand you my report. This is a most inviting looking beverage, being absolutely free. from all traces of turbidity, and, as its name Implies, Is bright to the last drop. The results of my analysis shew it to be a Light Bitter Beer of the very highest grade of purity, and In my opinion, It the product of Malt and Hops of first-class quality. The amount of Alcohol present renders it strictly a Light Ale, and Its aroma and flavour are excellent The characteristic bitter of the Hops being well In evidence It forms a most agreeable drink. There is not the slightest trace of any objectionable metallic substance present, and I. consider It a very high-class* Beer In every respect. Being sent out In screw-stoppered Flagons Its high aera- tion Is preserved to perfection In consequence, and there Is no chance of Its suffering In condition. I consider It a distinct advance In Bottled Beers for Table use, and Its high general excellence should command a ready sale. It really Is a splendid sample of Beer, and I must congratulate you on its production. I am, dear SIrs. Yours fidtmullye GEORGE R.

I THE LATE GEORGE EVANS, OVER- MAN, NEW TREDEGAR. I Here is another of the spoils of the [warfare of life taken from among us jduring the course of the past week. A busy and useful member of the human ;class was that of Mr. George Evans, of the iGlan Elyrch Houses1, of New Tredegar, which will be keenly felt among (fortun- 'ately) the limited family now remaining in sadness. The deceased was a native iof Lledrod, Cardiganshire, who, when a youngster, evidently heard in those days of the flourishing prosperity of the indus- trious localities of the hills and being frugally disposed, as a thorough saving countryman would be, he determined to try his fortune and strive for the future of his life, and thus was induced to make his way for the neighbourhood of Trede- gar, where, with his non-acquaintance with the mining life and perils, he started his ascending headway at the bottom rung of the ladder, and trusted for his after success according to the develop- ment of his abilities. It appears that he did not stay long at Tredegar, but with his vitality he further ventured with his eager speculation, crossed the mountain and established himself in the rising locality of New Tredegar, where he found an opening as a timber man. He took to the study of mining, so that whilst faithfully discharging his duty both to his employers partnership of the work- men, he landed with an exemplified character, under the able management of Mr N. Phillips, as overman of the old, Powell Duffryn Pit, New Tredegar, which he successfully and most satisfactorily held until the close of his Ufe, which occurred on the 12th instant. Leading a simple, unostentatious life, and seldom exhibiting the smallest ripple of the waves of temper, he was greatly admired in his capacity and surroundings, ,and so kept his subjects in peaceful humour without unnecessarily interfering with the interests of the employers. Such likewise was his unfailing demeanour in the circle of general society, avoiding all circumstances which ingeniously led to the unreasonable ways of mischievous commotion. Being a peaceful and trust- worthy person in all his transactions; his manner of dealing with those under his control had effective irifluence upon those concerned. Initiated as a member of Uchdir Welsh Congregational Church, under the ministry of the late Rev. J. Maelor Roberts, his religious character for the whole term of that period was unblemishable his adherence to Nonconformist principles was thoroughly established, whilst the maintenance of the cause received his generous and steadfast consideration, as was also his Liberal convictions. His affliction was of a most severe, if short, duration his friends deeply Sym- pathising with him, as well as that of his family under which he collapsed after four or five months' sickness. As he was I well known throughout a wide district, his remains were followed to its final destination by a very large concourse of the inhabitants; his body being con- veyed in a hearse supplied by Mr. Wood- ward, undertaker, the first carriage being occupied by Mrs. Evans and son, Mr. and Mrs. John Davies and Mr. David Rich- ards, (2) Mr. and Mrs. T. Gwenlan, Mr. and Mrs. John Evans, and J. Evans, (3) Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Davies, Mrs. Bolton, and Mr. D. Joner, Woodland. Among tht great number following were noticed Aid. N. Phillips, J.P. (Agent, Powell Duffryn Com any), Messrs. A. J. Price, W. Bailey, G. Watkins (managers and overman of New Tredegar and Elliot Collieries), Mr. Job Jones, etc., etc. After a short service at the house, where the Rev. L. T. Jones Officiated, the cortege was conveyed to Bedwellty Cemetery, where the service according to the rites of the Church of England were performed by the rector. The deceased left only two children, with Mrs. Evans, in bereavement, one of whom, the daughter, is an entire invalid.

I A SECULAR FUNERAL AT MEW TREDEGAR; I Monday being announced to be the funeral day of the late well-known towns- man, Mr. Tom Eynon, a very large con- course of people, both as a matter of respect as well as curiosity, gathered together at Tredegar-road, to convey his mortal remains to Bedwellty Cemetery. The deceased* in his lifetime assumed a notoriety throughout the whole district, principally through his strong and per- sistent efforts on behalf of Trade Union- ism, as well as that of his political senti- ments bearing the title of Social Democracy," in the frequent advocacy of which he sacrificed much, and endured the frown even, on occasions, of his own intimate friends. Eventually, to a great xlen his efforts proved successful in rewarding him with a position that enabled him to procure a comfortable livelihood for himself and family. Among other good qualities which he naturally possessed was that of his extreme fond- ness for his home, whilst his delight for pleasing his wife and children was most evident in the fact of his elaborating his house with diverse and costly furniture of various descriptions, a large share I being given to musical instruments, from i that of a piano to that of the violin and other like instruments. There is no doubt that had he solely confined his abilities to this line he would have made a mark for himself in this department of enter- tainment his son, through his effective teaching and instrumentality, now being able to form one of the members of the Orchestral Band attending the English Congregational Church, which fact strong- ly testifies that notwithstanding the father's strong, and often expressed proclivities for the spreading of Scepticism he still respected the religion of his father and other members of the family. The object of our remarks manifested his fervency for the seeking of knowledge leading into the crooked paths of Secular- ism. In this he frequently displayed his talents, as he was always seen attending lectures upon Biblical and sacred ques- tions and with signs of objections, in- terrogations, as well as questions of criticism, he would be found ready to face his opponents and give a good account of himself; The Rev. W. Lee, Baptist minister, late of Cardiff, was always a target for his pop-gun, and in no instance was he known to have come out a victor. As in his life, so in his death, his uppermost thoughts were those of Secularism, with no reconciliation of his fondly expressed creed. His burial was entirely of Secular type, the observ- ance of which by the crowd was evidenced in the absence of any kind of religious service either at the house or at the graveside. The Rev. Rector of Bedwellty having been notified that his services would not be required. But, as it was, a Secularis advocate spoke a few words bearing to the fact of the adherence of his departed friend to his principles which were not betrayed in his last hour. Now he has gone-to the grief of his family, a widow and four children, a loss to the Trades Unionists, and a number of lamenting friends—let it be said of the departed one, as a Roman Emperor once said of his predecessor, He is no more, let the earth lie lightly on his hea-d.

I SUDDEN DEATH. ¡ In our correspondence we have no intention of claiming or even confining our weekly remarks as recordership of deatht, but it behoves us in the present juncture to pay a tribute of respect in our present observations to those who deserve public notice, but let us add one more to our present list, which is that of Mr. Robert Jones, 71, James-street, New Tredegar, which is that of a painful feature. The case is unlike the previous persons mentioned, inasmuch as it happened in a sudden manner. The de- ceased was a most respectable person, a consistent member of Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Church, who was suddenly taken ill on Wednesday of last week, enduring most excruciating pains, to which he succumbed on Sunday morning on the entrance of Dr. Roberts' regular visit. He leaves a widow and children to bereave his loss.

GARDEN CITY COLLIERS FINED FOR II THEFT. -1 William Howells (17) and Henry White- head (16), Garden City colliers, were charged at Blackwood on Friday with stealing a bicycle, value £1, the property of William Cox and Clifford Winslade (15), another collier, was charged with receiving. Prosecutor said he rode the machine to work on the night of the loth inst., and, after putting a lock and chain on it, left it in a passage at the Britannia Colliery premises. When he went for it it had disappeared. Police-constable Williams said he saw the cycle in the possession of Winslade, who stated he had exchanged his own for it with Howells. Howells told witness that he purchased the machine from a boy on the road at Bedwas. Later he said he stole it from the passage of the lamp-room at the colliery, and Whitehead was with him. Subsequently the boys were all together, and Winslade denied Howell's suggestion that he had been told before the exchange was effectedthat the machine had been stolen. Al1 de statements implicating each other. Each defendant was fined 20S

I WELCOME EVIDENCE. I What could be more welcome than open-hearted statements like the follow- ing. Week after week local men and women speak out in this earnest wav, and their personal experience ring with encouragement. On June 5th, 1913, Mrs. M. Sowden, of 5. Greenfield Street, near the School*, Pontlottyn, near Rhymney, said I have been greatly troubled with a dull, gnawing pain in my back, and my head was also troublesome. I used to feel dull and depressed, and other symptoms pointed to kidney weakness. "I have tried various things, but none have ever done me the good Doan's backache kidney pills did. I always got relief from them, and now I am glad to say I am free of the trouble. I can recommend Doan's pills with every con- fidence. (Signed) M. SOWDEN." On June 25th, 1915—TWO YEARS LATER-Mrs. Sowden said Doan's pills do me more good than any kidney medicine I know of, and I never fail to recommend them to any of my friends who are similarly troubled." If you have any such clear signs of kidney or bladder trouble as sediment, or gravel, pains in the loins and back, dropsical swellings, stiffness of the muscles and joints, rheumatism, and a constant feeling of drowsiness and heavi- ness, the above experience will encourage you. Doan's backache kidney pills are special kidney help they reach the cause of disease-that is why cures are lasting. Price 2/9 a box, six boxes 13/9; of all dealers, or from Foster McClellan Co., 8, Wells St., Oxford St., London, W. Don't ask for backache or kidney pills,— ask DISTINCTLY for DOAN'S backache kidney pills, the same as Mrs. Sowden had.

A BARGOED LANDLORD AND HIS TENANT. I SCENE IN NORTH ROAD GARDENS. At the Bargoed Police Court on Friday, Lewis Beer (23), haulier, Bargoed, was summoned by Evan Bees on a charge of assault. Mr. John Evans, Bargoed, appeared to prosecute. Complainant said defendant's father was a tenant in one of his houses. Witness had re- ceived a notice from the Gelligaer Urban Council to abate a nuisance at this particular house, which had been caused by the raising of the garden, and in consequence, the water was diverted. De- fendant's father refused to abate the nuisance, so witness went to do it himself. He commenced by taking a stone from the wall and when in a stooping position defendant came behind and pushed him over a wall. Witness fell through the roof of a coal house on the other side, six feet from the top of the wall. This was corroborated by Theo. Jacobson, who said defendant flung Mr. Rees over the wall. For the defence, Samuel Brain said that com- plainant missed his footing and fell over the wall. He thought Mr. Rees was going to hit defend- ant on the head with a large stone which he had in his hand. The defendant's mother said she had lived fct North Road, Bargoed for six years. She said complainant threatened to knock her son's brains out. They caught hold of each other and Kees slipped over a brick and then fell over the wall. Defendant denied the allegation of plaintiff, and said that the story as given by Jacobson was all lies. Plaintiff having first threatened to knock out his brains, he acted in self-defence in oan- sequence. A fine of 10s. wss imposed.
