News & Views 1 Sil -i- Kynorogtun." Kennington, where the King paid a surprise visit to his son's tenants, has many Royal associations. Its very name is supposed to be derived from the Saxon Jvynongtun "—the place of the King, and it was the site of a Royal Palace as early as the time of Hardi- j Canute, who died there in 1041. Lord Moriey's Portrait. Lord Morley has just had his por- trait painted, the artist being the Hon. John Collier. The great orator and statesman is shown in his red D.C.L. i robes in a sitting position. The fine features of the Lord President of tho Council lend themselves admirably to portraiture. It is to hang at Lincoln's College, Oxford. No Personal Application. Mrs Mitchell, the widow of Cap- tain Coe," said the clause- in the will bequeathing his nom do plume to his SOli on condition that heyiid no betting had no personal application, as her son had never given his father any anxiety on the score of gambling. "But my husband in his profession had eeen so much of the folly of botting," she concluded A Famous Limerick.. One of the neatest limericks on record was written about the famous American divine, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Versions differ; but this is said to be the correct one:— Sa,id a great Congregational prea-cher To a heu, You're a beautiful crea-cher, The llen, just for that, Laid an egg in his hat, And thus did the hen reward Beecher. 97 Cable for El order. Washingtonians are smiling over a cable dispatch which Mrs. John Williams received from her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Leiter, from Shanghai. Mrs. Leiter, who is the wife of the brother of the late Lady Curzou, cabled asking her mother to send a supply of ba.by ribbon, powder, and lip salve to an address in Japan. The cable cost £ 7, but the articles asked for do not exceed £ 1 al- together. The baby, it may be stated, is Mrs. Letter's first offspring. A Cat Sense." Mr. Norman Forbes-Robertson in the "Times'" describes a case of man's cat sense, which he believes the gentler sex do not possess. Some years ago," lie says, I travelled all over America for many months with my old friend Jack Robertsan. of the famous nightin- gale voice, and I was witness on many occasions of the acute nervousness—I might almost say paral-vsis,from which he suffered whenever he entered a room in which a cat might happen to be. whether visible or not." Tichborne Case Records. The witness who liasi iii-s-t, spent over 70 hours in the box has not created a record thereby. For the longest time occupied by any one person in giving evidence we must go to the Tichborne case. In this the examination of the claimant occupied a full 22 days. But the Tichborne case broke record right and left. The speech of the Attorney- General in it was spread over 26 days, and the summing-up took the Lord Chief Justice a month. And a very in- teresting book of 300 closely-printed pages that summing-up makes. Refuge for the Ugly Man. A man with a facial deformity so dreadful that he was at one time taken round by a showman and described as "The Elephant Man," was rescued by a burgeon of a London hospital from a crowd which was mobbing him in the street. He was taken into the hospital, but it was thought impossible to keep him there, and the question arose as to what should be done with him. This was the suggestion which he himself made. "I should like," he said, "if I could, to be admitted to the Asylum for the Blind. I should enjoy the se- clusion and the company and the gar- dens. and none of my companions could be affronted by looking at me." Restoring the Venus. Where is the damaged "Venus" being repaired, and who is the crafts- man or artist to whom the responsible task is entrusted? The officials of the National Gallery very naturally refuse to give a.way the secret. But (writes a correspondent in the Evening News ") there is no more famous restorer of pic- tures in the land than Mr. Buthery, and it is very probable that he is work- ing on it in the basement of the Gallery itself. It was Mr. Buthery who. while restoring pictures for Lord Talbot de Malahide, in Ireland, discovered the famous Franz Hals "Family Group." He communicated with Sir Charles Hol- royd. and the nation purchased it for £ 25,000. Minister, Organiser and Poet. Mr. "Lulu" Harcourt, as one of the* trustees of the London Museum, is largely responsible for the splendid organisation of that collection in its new home in Stafford House. He ha." given a lot of his time lately to the museum. Organisation amounts to genius in Mr. Harcourt, and it is largely due to his faculty in this direc-| tion that he achieved what I believe is the unique distinction of being pro- moted to the Treasury Bench without ever having made a speech from the floor of the House. Mr. Harcourt combines with his methodical genius a gift for verse, and many of the Liberal Party election songs are written by him. ■« Fortunes Told" by Vibrations." For pretending to tell fortunes, Mad.ame Golin, or Polinski, of Hart-I street, Bloomsbury, was fined at Bow- street yesterday. Miss Rose Wagner Mid she call ed and asked to have her fortune told, and the defendant re- plied that she "only told by vibra- tions." She paid 2s., and was con- ducted to a table upon which were coloured ribbons bearing letters and numbers. There were atao coloured crosses and she had to pick them up with a large magnet. Arthur L Townsend, a Paddington artist, said there was a great deal in this science. King Edward was much interested in it. Every colour had a vibration. Longest Run of the Century. In view of the early withdrawal of "Androcles and the Lion" and "The Great Catherine," it is interest- ing to note that the record for the longest consecutive London run of the present century, musical comedy e. cepted is held by "Fanny's First Play," which was produced by Miss Lillah McCarthy and Mr. Granville Barker at the Little Theatre, and wa.s afterwards removed to the Kings way. Shaw produced this piece anonymously at first, but there was very little secrecy as to the authorship. "Fanny's First Play" ran for 628 performances: the second place is taken by Mr. Arnold Bennett's "Milestones" with 608; and "The Great Adventure" is going strong now after 477 performances.

FOOTBALL FRACAS. J DISGRACEFUL SCENES AT WELSH RUGBY j CUP MATCH. I POLICE CLEAR PONTYPOOL GROUND. I Extraordinary scenes were witnessed at Pontypool yesterday, when the Pontypool and Pill Harriers football reams met in a Welsh Rugby Union cup competition. Two excursion trains had brought a, large crowd of supporters of the Pill Club, and feeling ran high between the respective sets of partisans. The rulings of tho referee, Mr. C. R. Hard- ing, of Caxdift", displeasc-d tho home supporters almost from the commence- ment of the game, and they were not slow in expressing their disapproval by loudly* booing. Disgraceful scenes were witnessed during the game, and it was not an un- usual sight to see players indulging iu tiksticuff-s, wliilst the boot way also too freely used in tho mix-ups. What ap -« pearod most to send the crowd angry was that whilst the referee invariably penalised Lloyd, the home captain, at every attempt he. made to place the ball into the scrummages, he allowed the visiting halt-backs considerable latitude. Oliver Ordered Off. I The climax was- reached when Gco Oliver, a Pontypool forward, was ordered off tho field, for it was obvious that Oliver only retaliated after beiiig struck by Haley and two other oppo- nents, but tho referee ignored -Lil ap- peals from the crowd to send all the j offenders off the field. Several oi the Pontypool players threatened to reti re if Oliver alone was to be tiont off, and a section of the crowd jumped over the railings and invaded the playing pitch. Oliver then retired, being loudly cheered as he left, and Lloyd persuaded the Pontypool players to continue the game. In the meantime the committeemen, assisted by the police, had cleared the crowd from the playing pitch, and the game was continued. The Climax. I Immediately the final whistle went 1 a very h rge section of the crowd again 1 rushed on to the field and surrounded the referee. Clods of mud were thrown at the official, and before any of the local club committee-men or police could roach him he was foiled to thci ground with severe blow £ on the mouth. He was bleeding profusely when picked up by Tom Davies and Tom Rob bins, two of the Pontypool players, and es- corted by the police, players and com- mitteemen he was conveyed to the pavilion, A number of fights then took place between the respective 64ets of sup- porters, and the small body of-police present were powerless to cope with I the situation, for very few of the 14,000 spectators had left the ground. The Referee's Explanation. Mr. Charles Harding, the referee, was seen by a pressman at his home in A'bcrt-ttrert Canton, Cardiff, late last night He had his lip cut. Questioned regarding the scenes at the match, he laughed at the suggestion that there had been anything in tho nature of a serious disturbance. "There, was a big crowd," he said, and of course it was a disappoint- ment for the Pontvpool supporters to see the home ground record brokc1Î by Pill, but there was no fighting." AsklXl if the crowd invaded the field either during or after the match, Mr. Harding said they did not, and the game went the full time. He stated that he had to order Oliver, one of the Ponty- pool forwards, off the field towards the end of the second half, for striking an opposing player. This did not cause any disturbance, lie said. There were police on the ground, said Mr. iHarding, in answer to another question, but their services were not required. W re von struck or bustled -J III?,, asked the Pressman. It is- reported that there were violent Wenes there." Mr. Harding smiled. "No," he I answered.

BRITOHFERRY STRIKE. I ————— MEN REFUSE TO RESUME WORK PENDING NEGOTIATIONS. The strike at the Britonferry Ship- breaking Yatd still continues, and in- dications are not waiting that it will he prolonged for several days owing to the difficultv in getting the directors who all reside in Sheffield, and the men's union officials together. A telegram was received from the head office of the ifrm, Albion Works, Sheffield, setting forth, that the direc- tors would meet a deputation of their workmen to discuss the -situation, tyut this has given rise to the question Of who is going to pay the railway faros and expenses, aLvo it has been sug- gested bv the employer's, officials that the men%bould return to work pending the next jjerkxdic visit of the managing director to Briton ferry, but the em- ployes in reply .say that as1 this gentle- man was down at the yard some eleven days ago and refused to see the union's officials, tlie excuse being want of time, they are unwitting to give any chance of re-occurrence of such treatment. Mr. Jonah Charles is unfortunately indisposed, but he is being kept in- formed as to how matters are proceed- ing-

A NOVEL OATH. SWANSEA HAULIER SENT TO PRISON FOR THEFT OF HARNESS. I At Swansea Police Court this morning Levi liowen Jenkins (25), haulier, was charged with stealing and receiving a horse collar, one pair oi reius, a head bridle, and a pair of lamps, valued at 1:2, the property of Charles Gustavus. j builder and contractor, from a stable in Sea View-terrace, between February 2bth and March 12th. Robert Gabriel, haulier, spoke to see- ing prisoner with the c'ollar and reins! in Dyiatty-street. He aaked witness to buy them, and he replied "I don't want thcni. Prisoner -'aid, "1 am selling theni for a man named Powe, of Brvn- hyfryd." Witness asked him if it was straight, and he thereupon took his hat off and uttered an oath, saying "he hoped his eyes would drop into his hat if it was not right." (Laughter). The Chairman: That is a novel oath. Witness added he believed prisoner's story, and purchased the articles. The Chairman: I suppose it was the novelty of. the oath which made you be- lieve his story (Laughter). Henry Gooden, fried fish dealer, said prisoner came into his shop, and pressed him to buy a lamp, and he eventually purchased it. P. C. Kinsella said that at the Police Station Jenkins replied, "I only took the reins." Prisoner elected- to be dealt with summarily. "I am guilty of taking part of the stuff," he eaid. "I was under the influence of drink." Supt. Roberts said prisonel' had been m court previously four times. Mr. Jones advised prisoner to puU himself together, and be a man again. He would have to go to prison for a month.

j CONFERENCE IN LONDON. I ISWANSEA COUNCIL u- NEGOTIATING WITH t DIREuTOBS OF BANK. I As previously announced in the "Leader," a special meeting of the Swansea County Council is to be held on Thursday afternoon to further con-j sider the question of the Castle-street! corner and the Temple-street improve- ment. It will be remembered that at the monthly meeting of the Council on Wednesday last, the Town Clerk (Mr. j H. Lang Coath) intimated that the directors of tho Capital and Counties .bank were taking a very active intci-est in the improvement scheme (which' would include a proposal to acquire the Bank premised) and that he thought at an cany date proposals would be made to which the Council could li-sten. Following on this, a conference is! being hold in London to-day between the Corporation, represented by the Mayor (Aldermjyi T. T. Corker), Aldor- man Thos. Merrells, J.P., chaiijnim of the Highways Committee; Gouncailor Dd. Matthews, J.P., Chairman of the' Parliamentary and General Purposes I Committee, the Town GJerk (Mr. H. i Lang Coath), and the directors of the Bank, and there is, we understand, I good reason to. believe that the deputa- tion will be able to make, at the special Council meetuig, proposals which may! prove to he the basis of a satisfactory settlement. In the meantime Mr. Dd. Thomas, jeweller, has been asked, through his solicitor (Mr. T. W. James), to suspend; any legal action on the question of the Castle-street corner lease until after I the meeting on Thursday next.

NO PISTOL SHOTS. I -go- BRITISH CONSUL AND THE MURDER OF I MR. BENTON. I Now York, Monday.—The report of I Mr. Perceval, the British Consul at Galveston, Texas, who was seut to iu- vestigate the Benton case, says: "No .usfcol shots were fired in the fight which ended in the ranchman's death." The inference is that Mr. Benton died from stabs. The report makes no definite charge, rc?rdin? the manner of his death, be- yond saying that the fact that there .<d? no shooting di&po?es of General VillA'? story of execution by a hring squad after a court martial. Mr. Perceval's report is deemed sig- nifican-L in view of tho report of the Constitutionalist Commission, which found that .Ms. Benton had been stabbed by one of General Villa's officers, who is expected to be tried for tho murder. Mr. Perceval further says that Mr. Benton went to General Villa unarmed, which accords with the stories of Mr. Benton's friends.— Reuter. Federals v. Rebels.

EASY MEASUREMENT. I —— A NEW SUIT OF CLOTHES FITTED BY GAS! Accor(bug to the "Outhtter," an in ecnious German has invented a device tor measuring a customer by gas, and at least one London tailor is s;id to have adopted it. I' T?e customer divest6 hiUle]f of lús coat and waistcoat, and blips on, over his shirt, a sleeveless garmant made of I coarse guaze. The taiior binds his cus- torDer up tightly with gummed paper, the latter adhering to the gauze gar- ment, and thus a true cast is taken of the man's body-from neck to hips, lo get the bust off the man's body the operator just slits up the back, and it comes easily away. The tailor has a perfect bust of his customer, the operation having taken about ten minutes to complete. But the operation is not iinisbed yet. A weird-looking apparatus stands in a corner. Supported by a tripod, a piece of tubing rears itself, carrying upon the upper part an indiarubber bag I shaped like a man's trunk. The tailor places over this the bust that he has taken from the customer's hody, and then proceeds to inflate it. The result is that he has a perfect re- production of his customer, and can trv on to his heart's content.
