Either Bevan or Evans asked why he had not been on the yard at 5 o'clock for the collection for Lloyd (who had been out of work some weeks). Witness said it was 4.50 when he got to the yard, and Bevan said he ought to have been there. Witness said others could have made a collection! without him being there, and he asked them without him b(in i k itrifte said he woul d give to let it drop. Witness said he would give 5s., and asked the others to give 5s. between them and take it up to Lloyd's wife. Wit- ness then asked them to have a drink. Evans said he would have no more, and i Bevan said' to witness, "Y no friend I ou are no friend of the old boy's, and being Christmas time i you could have done that." Bevan rushed and hit him under the jaw. Witness got loose, and then they clinched, .some men separating them after four or five seconds. With that the landlord came up and Bevan I went home. There were no blows struck; it was a scuflfe. Witness did not notice a cut over the deceased's eye. Thomas Williams, 2, Neath-road, Hafod, foreman at the, Prince of Wales Dry Dock, said he and deceased were on the best of terms. No unpleasantness had ever occurr- ed at any time. The Coroner: You never acted cowardly or cruelly to him at any time?—No, not at a.ny time. By Mr. Thompson: Witness had heard rumours, and he attended to ask the jury to exonerate him from all blame.

The Covoner said he thought it was quite clean", and apparently there was nothing to connect the accident at the works otr amy- thing else with tihe dea/tih. Reference had been made in the papers to an anonymous letter, but the relatives knew nothing albout it. The Coroner addeod he kmew nothing albout it.

RIDINGS OF GLA- MORGAN. ——— dft ——— SIR JOHN'S SUGGES- TION. COUNTY COUNCIL CRITICISED. The Assize Area Pro- posal. At Swansea Rural District Council on Tuesday, Arising out of a minute on the proposal of a separate sheriff and assizes for the eastern and for the western divisions of Glamorgan, SiT John Llewelyn made some interesting remarks regarding tl),e local government of the county. He (Sir John) thought that the county ought to be divided into Ridings, like the county of Yorkshire. While he admitted that exoeilent work was being done in the county council, he could see weak points which did not occur in a body such as the rural distriot council. They had a superior body in the county council; at least the county council THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPERIOR, I and they had got another body in the parish council that was much smaller than the dis- trict council. He was quite sure that the district council was far better balanced, as regards its composition, than the other local governing bodies. In the minute they had a proposal to divide the county into a western and eastern division for the purpose of assizes. If they DIVIDED THE COUNTY INTO THREE I PARTS he thought it would meet the difficulty he I had raised. He thought if the county coun- cil would put a great deal of their work into the hands of the district council they would be able to do it much better than it was being done at present. The district council could manage the roads much better' than they were managed irom Cardiff, and the same thing might be said about the sanitation. The county council and the district council were quite capable of work- ing together, but they did not do so for the reason that there was FAR TOO MUCH JEALOUSY I existing between them. He thought the district council was the best managed form of local self government he had seen. Mr. M. E. David said he quite agreed with the remarks made by Sir John, and he thought that if the county was divided into two divisions it would meet the situa- tion remarkably well. On the motion of Sir John Llewelyn, seconded by Mr. M. E. David. a resolution was oarried instructing the olerk to write to the clerk of the county council on the matter, suggesting dividing the county into two parts, and to write to other district and urban oouncils in the district on the matter.

EX-GAS WORKS i MANAGER, I FAREWELL GIFTS TO MR. GEORGE ANDREWS. INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS AT SWANSEA. Mr. George Andrews, who retired on De- cember 31st from the position of engineer, manager and secretary of the Swansea Gas Company, was the recipient of two presen- tations on Thursday night, une from the official staff, the other from the employes. Mr. Reginald Clarry, the newly appointed engineer, manage and secretary, who pre- sided, stated that they all very much re- gretted Mr. Andrews's retirement owing to ill-health, but he was very pleased to say that the directors of the company had asked him to accept a seat on the Board, so that they would still have him amongst them. Mr. Oxenham and Mr. Standish aJso spoke of the kind interest Mr. Andrews had taken in the staff, and the presentation of a VERY HANDSOME ROSE BOWL, suitably inscribed, was then made. Previously the employes of the company had met, and asked Mr. Andrews to accept a very handsome gold watch, and also Mrs. Mr. George Andrews. I Andrews a gold necklet, in appreciation of I the esteem in which they held them. They regretted very much that it was owing to ill-health that he had resigned, but they were glad that the name of Andrews was still connected with the company in the person of Mr. Fred Andrews. Mr. George Dean (foreman of the works) made the presentation, and expressed his sincere regret at losing their late engineer, with whom he had worked for so many years. The representatives of the different de- partments, Messrs. Coates, Roach, Davies, Samuels, Collins and Prater, also spoke of the high esteem in which their late manager had been regarded. Mr. Andrews, speaking with emotion, said it was a very sad moment in his life to leave the faces of those he had known for so many years. He thanked one and all for their kindly thoughts to Mrs. Andrews and himself.

MARK MELPORDP PRESENTIMENT. I The story of how the late Mr. Mark Mel- fbrd had a presentiment of "his death on New Year's Eve was related on Monday' night to a Press representative by Mr. Branaby Williams, one of his oldest friends, and who was at Swansea Empire a fortnight ago. "Mark Melford's last days," he said. were a ilmarka,ble demonstratioin of the triumph of mind over matter. He had lain in bed practically helpless for some months, but his brain was active and a.lert up to the last moment. On Ifew Year's Eve there were signs of collapse, and he had a presentiment himself that the end bad come, for he wrote the following on a card' In New Year's Day Mark passed away: He rallied, however," added Mr. Williams, aind aet,a.Ily wrote subse- quently 3,000 words 01 the bock on which he was engaged." v

MORE SITTINGS THAN SITTERS." JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS AT MORRISTON. CONGREGATIONAL OHAIB. MAN'S ADDRESS. The jubilee celebrations in connection with Tabernacle, Morristan, were continued on Friday. In the afternoon Sir David Bryn- mor Jones, K.C., M.P., presided over a largely-attended religious service, at which the Rev. Morgan Gibbon, chairman of the English Congregational Union, delivered an eloquent sermon, based on the subject of "Public spirit as a factor in religion." He declared tut people outside the church were always saying they were better than those inside. Perhaps they were, but they were not good Christiana. Referring to the t>re- sent age of transition, he said it seemed to be quarter-day the world over, and the pan- technicon vans had come along in every street carting the old furniture out of sight. (Laughter.) He deplored the falling off in Church membership as disclosed in reoent returns. They had far more sittings in Wales than sitters. It was said that they built chapels for gymanfas, Sunday School and harvest festivals. That was A FAIR DEBATING' POINT. but he never liked it. Really it was mot true. He thought the need of the Church in Wales to-day was to put something before the people as an objective that would kindle enthusiasm and do away with the dulness that was coming over religion to a large extent. (Hear, hear.) In the evening there was a crowded pub- lic meeting, over which Air. T. J. Williams, J.P., presided, supported by Lord Pnnty- pridd, Sir D. Baynmor Jones, K.O., M.P., Mr. Lfew. Williams, K.C., M.P., Mar. Wm. Jones, M.P., Rev. Emlyn Jones (the e&- temed pastor), Rev. Perm- Griffiths. Mx. Goo. Rowe, J.P., Mr. Oakley Walters, J.P., Rev. T. Salmon (Horeb), Mr. Wm. Williams, J.P. (Wern), Rev. Dyfodiwig Davies, and cithers. In opening, the Chairman sipobe of the gronoustradltiions of the past at Tabernacle, and, referring to the clearing off of the debt. sajd that they now stood cleaIr on the broad highway. (Applamse). Lord Pontypridd, in a characteristic speeoh, observed ffioa the Taiberaaicile had turned out some of the finest preachers in Wales in the Refv. Thomaa Jones (father of Sir D. Brynmor Jones), Dr. Hetrbert Bvans, and the present pastor. (Hear, hear). Mr. Wm. Jones, M.P., deEviered a scholarly address, in which he said he mt6 not afraid of arty "iszn." There wtere lots of bogeys set before them but the spirit of unirest that poeaessed our .oofmraunity --A the present moment would demand tihe full tidal wave not of toleration, but of oomatrucbrve spiritual life. (Apphnese). MEMBER FOR SWANSEA DISTRICT. I Sir Brynmor Jones followed, and said he I j was born close by at Pentrepoeth, and he was one of the sons of a minister who had done something in b4 day and pastorate to- wards carryirgliit the work of that church, contributing, therefore, to that abundant snocesa which they were oelebrating that night. (Applause.) "We are," said Sir David2 "celebrating the culminating event in a very remarkable, very strenuous, very successful, very noble and unbroken pastorate. (Cheers.) This chapel has been planned, built, and paid for during the ministry of the Rev. Emlyn Jones, who has discharged the duties of his sacred office with great learning, assidu- ous study, inspiring eloquence, and apostolic zeal for more than 46 years. We congratu- late him upon his great career, share his feelings to-night, and wish him renewed strength, long life, and abundant happiness." (Loud applause.) The cause in Morriston might, said Sir David, if the matter was looked at free from prejudice, rightly claim to be as truly historic as any church in Christendom. (Applause). Mr. Llerwelvn Williams followed with an historical speech, also in Welsh, erf Welsh Nonconformity. The Rev. Emlyn Jones then delivered a further greeting, and a vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed by the Rev. Penar Griffiths, seconded by Mr. Oakley Walters, terminated the meeting. n —

HOW I LOST A STONE OF FAT AND REGAINED MY GOOD FIGURE BY A SIMPLE RUBBING PROCESS. Three weeks a.go I read in the paper of a lady who found that a simple mixture of herbs could be rubbed on fleshy places, and that this would gradually dissolve excessive fat. I was sorely in need of just such advice, so I obtained from a chemist 1 dram of quassia chips and 3 ozs. of cirola. bark ex- tract. After taking them home I put the quassia chips in a basin and poured over them a teaspoonful of boiling water. When it had stood for about half-a-minute I strained it through a cloth and added the cirola bark extract. Then I poured the mixture into a bottle and applied it freely every night and morning with my hands for about five minutes, using a circular movement. The fat just seemed to melt away each time that I rubbed it on and, I never dreamed it would be so easy to get slender. Friends are amazed at the im- provement in my appearance, for I have re- duced over a stone of fat from my limbs and abdomen and I look 15 years younger. Now I feel just like stopping every woman I see and telling her how I did it. G.M.B.
