AT THE BARGAIN SALES. SOfiE WONDERFUL OFFERS AT MESSRS. EfiiAiSDS' ESTABLISHMENT. The ladies or Swansea are being es- pecially well catered for this week. They all delight in shopping when there are leal bargains to Ik; procured. Most Swan- sea ladifes are aware that a sale is in pro- gress at Messrs. Edwards, the 4rapery establishment in Oxford-street. The bar- gains advertised are genuine, and a visit wilt confirm this. jj When I paid my visit I started in the mantle and dress showroom, and wa81 shown some beautiful French gowns. A Remarkable Four-Guinea Gown. Most original "fas a gown of green taffeta, snot with pink and patterned in black and white. The cor- sage had a medic-i collar and a tiny vest of old rose satin, and the tunic, which Yas flounced, had a cutaway front to eiiow a gau d skirt, which is to be the riigc again. It was lined with rose silk, and a wonderful bargain, being reduced from seven guineas to four guineas. Another day gown of Rose du Barri crepe silk cord, had a French sash of ribbon in shades of rose and white, draped from the corsage, and finished as a bow at the back of the tunic. I also liked a simple gown of gold brown satin charmeuse. the only trimming being hand embroidery in Bulgarian rones. In the same department I saw some lovely washing voile gowns at ridiculous prices. There was a special line in those with a draped skirt and tunic of floral voile. These were to be had in various colours at His. lld. Pique a Great Favourite. Pique seems to be in great demand. | being a favourite owing to its wearing qualities. For those about to go for holi- day a costume of pique would be de- lightful. They showed me some charm- ing coatees at is. Hid., and said that they had skirts Is. Hid. That would be a very cheap outfit, more especially if worn with a panama or white bower hat, for these now are to be had at Is. 11 ad., and real panamas at 6s. ltd. In the millinery department, I took a fancy to a. matron's hat of blaok satin straw, and it had a swathing crown of the black straw and white tulle, and for trimming smart side wings of the same. finished with a plain jet buckle. It had been reduced to less than half price. 1 Untrimmed Hats for 6d. I There were several bargains to be had here in trimmed millinery, also in un- irinimed bats, which were to be bad in i all the newest shapes and colours from {-Vir]. Flowers, wings and trinamings wpre great bargains, pretty rose trails, long enough to trim a child's hat, being a great bargain at l¿d. Ostrich boss and neck mufflers, which arc worn a great deal at present, have all been reduced, also everything at the lace and glove counter, lace collars and jabots in dainty styles being offered at od Of blouses. I was to!d that they had Some :100 dozen in wool delaine to be cleared at Is.; some of them I saw, and was quite charmed with. There has also been some sweeping re- ductions in all the departments, more I especially with the household drapery, many articles being sold at less than cost price I MESSRS. WATTS JONES AND CO. I Some Bargains in Millinery. I I paid a visit to Messrs. Watts Jones r and Co. this morning, and found that although they had sold a huge quantity of their stock, there were still some very wonderful bargains left. In the millinery department, I noticed some very sv-eet hats; one on sailor lines had a tiny brim of cerise satin straw, the. crown veiled with iiiry tulle, and for trimming it had several small ostrich tips, quaintly placed on the brim and crown. It was marked 7s. 11 id., and I thought it very cheap Some very pretty lace hats suitable for garden parties were prettily trimmed with nowers in different shade, one in par- ticular had a wreath of dog daisies, and was charming in its simplicity. This was only marked 3s. n?d. Flowers and all the dainty etceteras for trimming I were practically given away. White Voile Frocks. I This summer promises to be a record in the wearing of white gowns and dainty voile frocks, and the sweet, 'ready- i to-wear' robes, are a boon. Tuis firm is showing some remarkable bargains in embroidered robes, they have them from 5s. md. In voiles they have a lovely selection, also in pique. One pretty i gown for best wear was sweet, fashioned of white voile and patterned with tiny flowers in pink and blue; it was made with a tunic, and had a low collar, and cuffs of white hemstitched lawn. An- other in pink was marked at 6s. llAd. Blouses in all the newest styles and materials are to be had from Is., some of ninon being lined with silk, and of the most lovely shades. In sports coats they have a large selec- tion to chose from. Some are of mer- cerised silk. and others of the new fleecy material. They wereiii lox-t-ly shades of tango, emerald green, and several shades of rose, and many of them belted. Newest Style Collars for 1id. In the fancy department, everything is to be cleared regardless of cost. Fancy some of the lovely lace collars in the new styles were being sold from lfd. in an excellent quality lace and net. Belts in suede, patent and silk were also marked i very cheaply. On the glove counter, they have a special line 'of kid gloves at is. Oid., short on elbow length, which are to be had, not only in tan and beaver, but in the new colors to match the gown to to be worn. An early visit to this establishment is to be- recommended, for so far it has been the hest sale which they have had since it has been opened. GWYNETH.

THE LORDS AND HOME RULE. I1 -3 AMENDING BILL'S SECOND READING PASSED BY 273 TO 10. MANY AMENDMENTS. The second reading of the Bill to amend the Home Rule Bill was passed in tho, House of Lords on Monday- evening by j 273 votes to 10. The minority included Lord Willoiigbby; de Broke, who had moved the rejection of the Bill, Lords Desart, Oraumore and Browne, Mayo, Esk, Donoughmore, Arran, ¡ Coventry, Bessborough, and Farnham. AMENDMENTS. I Exclusion of the Whole of Ulster. I Immediately afT the division the amendnients embodying the proposals of the Marquess of Lansdowne and his col- leagues on tho Unionist. Front Benches were handed in at the table. The first, and one of the most important, is that Clause 1 be struck out of the Bill. If this be carried the provisions for a poll of counties or boroughs in Ulster on the subject of exclusion within three months of the passing of the Bill disappear. Another amendment strikes out Section 1. of Clause 2, under which the counties of Ulster are treated separately, and winch provides that the Home Rule Bill shall not apply to any county where the majo- rity of voters are in favour of exclusion for a period of six years from the first meeting of the Irish Parliament. The ¡ adoption of this amendment would involve the abolition of the time limit. In place of these clauses definite pro- posals will be put forward for the exclu- sion from the Home Rule Bill of the whole of Ulster. There are a number of amendments to 'Clause 4, which deals with Snance, and other amendments affecting the finance-of the main Bill. There are also proposals in the nature of safeguards having n general application. It is proposed that that fixing of judicial rents shall remain under the eohtrol of the Imperial Parlta": ment, and that the Royal Irish Constabu- lary shall become, without qualification, a reserved service. Any favour _o*v« £ is- cviiamation in The taxation of land is, also provided against. I

It U. COLD. I GEORCE BEES, OF AMMANFORD, TAKES I THE BAIT. j Northern Union agents have made I another capture from Ammanford. The player who this time has been lured by tiia golden call is Geo. Roes, last season's captain, who previously played for Neath. lie signed on for Leeds on I Friday. Itees seems to have found his true position in the pack, and, on last season's form. there were few forwards in ISouth Wales who excelled him for tll- i i-ounti displays. Possessed of speed and strength, and ability to handle the hall I wieil the surety of a three-quarter, it j (a 'be safely said thaL Leeds have been! distinctly fortunate in securing his ser-| vices. He was paid about the biggest prii,o ever given by that team for for- wards. S 3n by our representative on Monday nigfet, Rees said he would not have gne j\"o#;h but for the fact that be was giv(vn the money lie asked for. He leaves for tf,eeds in a fortnight's time, together witlfc Ivor Jones, the other Ammanford plainer who joined Leeds towards the end of the season. Titto loss of so many excellent players in satch a short period becomes a hard blow* for the Ammanford club, who last season surprised not a few with their fine {displays.

HAVE YOU A COOD APPETITE. ? Good appetite means more than the mere desire for food. Generally speaking, it may be taken as a sign that you are in a .state of good health, with your diges- tive eystem in good tone, active, and doing its daily work of extracting nourishment from the food you eat. If you can't eat. or don't want to eat, ton to one something is amiss with the stomach, liver or bowels. Try the effect of taking Mother Seigei's Syrup after your meals for a time. Then watch how I this splendid herbal reme d y sharpens the appeHtf. aud tones up the di?ps<ivp SYS-I tem. It enables you to eat with a rf?ish, and when you l>'an oat?n. the food en: dche" your blood and increases your strength and vitality. Tens of thou?auds have uroveid this to be true. i

I SILOAM SERVICES. I SUCCESSFUL MEETINS AT RECONSTRDCTED PtNi'BE CHAPEL. I The re-opening services of Si loam Chapel, Pentre, Swansea, were continued on baturdav, Sunday and Monday, when the Hevs. W. J..Nicholson (Portmadtx:), and Peter Price, B.A., D.D. (Rhos), preached powerful and effective sermons. The audiences were large and represen- tat ive. The organ was presided over on Satur- day and Mtndiiy by Air. D. T. Williams, A.L.C.O.. London, and his playing was inspiring. At the close of the Sunday- evening services, at the request of the Rev. Pemir Griffiths,- the "Halleluiah Chorus" was played in commemoration of departed members and workers in the church, the congregation standing in silent devotion. The choir rendered an- thems, under the leadership of Mr. 1). Daniel, ;ind the singing was worthy of the occasion. Following upon the preaching service, Mr. Williams gave a delightful organ recital, when the choir sang "Worthy is The Lamb." On Monday evening the Rev. Peter Price preached with his usual power, Mr. J. H. Wiliams presiding at the organ. He and Mr. D. T. Williams were former organists at Siloam. At the end of the meeting "Penar" said, they, as a church, were indebted to many for very kind sympathies. Be mentioned the kindness and courtesy of their land- lords (the Messrs. Vivian), in making if possible to them as a church to proceed forthwith with their extensive alterations, thus enabling them to widen the street in front of the chapel, a long et-andinq: need. To-night (Tuesday^, there will he nn English service, when the Eev. H. C. Mander will preach. Next Sunday morn- ing, a communion service will be held, when the Rev. Penar Griffiths will offi- ciate.

THE REAL PROTECTION. There is much talk in the aÚavout Pro- tection and TariS Eeform. Real protec- tion as regards everyday articles is what the average person wants. Take Mon- sters." In this, the greatest pennyworth of the age in mineral waters, you are pro- tected by the well-known trade mark, upon which the proprietors have spent a fortune-to protect the buyer—the ordi- nary member of the public—as much as to protect themselves. When that mark <j Monsters is on a bottle you know you have t he safest, lllO; rf reshi ng. the largest pennyworth of mineral water in the world—sold in all the familiar flavours | -—Ginger Beer, Lemonade, .etc.—in every shop where you expect to buy Mitic-cal Waters. This trade mark" Monsters belongs to Sodastream, Ltd., of James-j street, Camden Town, London. Any mineral Waters other than Monsters") sold in he :\[I)m;trs bott:les (or any] other bottle not bearing the name Moii- ster*" but sold as Monsters") is soldi fraudulently, and is an infringement on I the trt^de mark of the proprietors, and as a deception of the public. J n sueh a case the shopkeeper so selling these mineral waters, is liable to heavy damages. Sodastream, Ltd.. do not wish to hold a pistol to the head of th•> confectionery and refreshment trade, but merely state this fact as much for the protection of the trade as for their own. The only valid authority for the sale of Mo rasters must come from the lirm mentioned above.

Some improvement wa? .sno\\M. ?? again6t the preoedu.g wk. but the t3?1 trade, wmpami with the corrCIK'n{lÍ1¡g wek last year, dhows decrease of 19,003 tons.
