AT HER FORTIES. Every woman approaches her forties with considerable anxiety, because she knows this is the time of life when trivial ailments may be the first signs of serious trials and sufferings to come. Hence she fears for the future and tuts melancholy forebodings; and invariably, lassitude, headaches, backaches and dis- tressful symptoms sad(len her life. How needless is much of the anxiety that assails the woman approaching forty has been proved by thousands of happy women who have relied on the health- help given by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. To the middle-aged woman the one thing most necessary to carry her through her years of trial is pure, new blood. It gives a woman the strength she needs to keep her health right, and because of their direct action on the blood, Dr. Williams' Pink rills for Pale People are the one remedy praised by women for women's needs. They strengthen the nerves and banish all depression; they dispel pain and invigorate the system, and restore with good health a general feeling of well- being.

LLANSAMLET FUMES. Dr. Rice Morgan Reports Death of Another Horse. Swansea .Rural District Counoil met in the Aleiandra-road Board Room, Swansea, on Tuesday, Mr. M. J. Thomas presiding. The monthly report of Dr. Trafford Mitchell, Medical Officer of Health for Llandilo-Talybont District, showed 87 births* equivalent to au annual rate or 30.3 per J ,000, which falls very far below tJie average rate of 35. There had ljeen 38 deaths, equivalent to an annual rate of 13.2, comparing unfavourably with the average of 11.4. Two deaths were due to whooping cough. A case of diphtheria was notified, but no insanitary defects were discovered on the premises. Thirty-one cases of scarlet fever had been notified: in Loughor 10, in Gor- seinon 5, in Gowerton 8, in Waunarlwydd 2, in Sketty 1, iu Fforestfach 1, in Pontar- dulais 1. and Grovesend 1. Many of the cases were so nuld as to be mistaken by the parents for German measles, and that made the checking of the disease more difficult. Llansamlct Report. Dr. Iiice Morgan, Medical Officer of Health tor Clase, reported 35 births— 31.7 per 1,000. and deaths le-14.7 per 1,000. The average death rate for the last five years was 11.4 per 1,000. In Llansam- i et tlisre had been one death frpm whoop- ing cough, and one from scarlet fever. There had been another death of a horse from lead poisoning, and, the doctor added :q,ince our last meeting I have seen a copy of the analysis of Mr. Seyler. He shows that the horse had absorbed such a quantity of lead as to bring about its death. I regret to say that the fumes coming out of two stacks is. if anything, larger in quantity than ever. New J.P.'s Congratulated. I Mr. W. iiees moved a vote of con- gratulation to the chairman (Mr. M. G. Thomas) and Mr. J. C. Davies on their appointment as Justices of the Peace :or the county. Mr. M. E. David seconded, and the vote wae carried with enthusiasm. Reports. I Mr. Griffiths moved the adoption of the I Finance Committee's report, which showed receipts of t3,094 8s. 7d. Bills had been passed to the amount of < £ 2,230 i)s. ikl., leaving a balance at the bank of « £ Sti3 19s. Id. The liev. H. J. Stewart moved the adoption of the Isolation Hospital Com- mittee's report. Bills had been passed to the amount of £ 82 15s. 4d. On Mon- day, there were 38 patients in the hospital. A tender of Mr. Samuel Harris, Gorseinon, of X40 for cooking ranges had been accepted. In reply to Sir John '1'. 1 D. Llewelyn, Mr. Stewart said that of the patients there were seven or eight from Mumbles outside their area. I Sir John remarked that this was very interesting as showing the usefulness of ithe institution. Though there were 38 patients, there had boon no deaths. Doctors constantly told him that patients had a better chance of recovery in hos- pital than at their own homes. From the private, as well as the public, point I of view, the figures were interesting. The report was adopted. Threatened Secession. I Mr. David Williams moved that an assistant surveyor or alternatively a foreman be appointed so that the arrears of work in the department may De cleared." The Chairman said it was time to do something, whether in the way of allot- ting the work, or increasing the staff, or do something to get the i-orfc tney had in hand completed. As there was a threatened secession of certain parts of the district, he certainly thought they ought to do something to meet tire com- plaints they had got. The ratepayers were getting tired of all this, and were passing remarks. After some desultory discussion, a reso- lution proposed by Mr. M. Griffiths, and seconded by Mr. Richards, providing for the appointment of a committee—one from each ward-with plenary powers, to go thoroughly into this matter, and make what appointments they thought necessary. The chairman of he council is to he ehairmau of tho committee, which will meet on Wednesday week. Construction of a Sewer. I Mr. W. Rees called attention to '?h, I construction of a main ee?er from Bryn- 'iyfryd to Treboeth. The Swansea Cor- poration were still delaying, and doing nothing. He wanted to urge them on. The Clerk said that the Corporation intended to go in for a sewerage scheme, and didn't wait to make any arrange- ments with them until they could go to the Local Government Board nnd aiy that districts were ill provided, which they would use as an argument to get those districts into the borough. Mr. W. Rees moved that that working with the Swansea Corporation be put 011 I one side, and that the Council prepare their own scheme for tbvir own it.strict in their own way. I This was seconded by Sir John Llewelyn and carried. It was deeided to grant a holiday for the officials on July 31st, the occasion of the annual picnic.

ADMIRALTY ACTION. I SEQUEL TO A COLLISION AT THE I SWANSEA DOCKS. I In the Admiralty Court on Monday, be- fore Mr. Justice Bargrrtve Deane. sitting with the Trinity Masters, the owners of the Norwegian steamship Ageroen sued the owners of the Liverpool steamship Agamemnon to recover damages arising out of the collision between tnose vessels in the King's Dock, Swansea, on the even- ing of February ]2th last. The defence was that the collision was an inevitable accident. The plaintiff's case was that the Ageroen, 992 tons gross, at the time in question was lying at the north side of the dock with her port side to the quay. The weather was rainy and the wind strong from about S.S. W., with squalls. In those circumstances the Agamemnon entered the dock. Instead of keeping clear, as she could and ought to have done, said the plaintiffs, she with her port quarter struck the Ageroen on the starboard side aft, doing considerable damage before she got clear. Plaintiffs alleged that the Ageroen was not kept under proper control, and averred that she had not sufficient tug assistance, and in the circumstances was improperly under way. For the Defence. I The case for the defendants was that I the Agamemnon, of 7,011 tons gross register, manner with a crew of li1 hands all told, was, in the coarse of a voyage from Rotterdam, bound for the King's I Dock m water ballast. he passed the breakwater off the entrance to the dock, at about 5 p.m. with a first class Swansea pilot on board, and with two tugs a-ssist- ing her. Owing to the conditions of the tide and wind—there was a S.W. gale--it was found necessary to drop the Agamemnon's starboard anchor. It fouled some obstruction on the bottom and in getting it up again the hawse-pipe broke, with the result that the anchor conld not afterwards be used. Having entered the lock giving access to the dock, a dock pilot was takon on board by the I Agamemnon and a third tug was engaged. Shortly after 8 p.m., during a lull in tho gale, the steamer entered the dock. and she proceeded to round a buoy off the entrance in order to make her berth at the south side of the recess on the east side of the dock. As the was coming round she was struck by a heavy squall of hurricane force, and began to drift I broadside up the dock. Her port anchor was at once let go. and the stern tugs towed off on the starboard quarter, while I the* head tug on the starboard bow en- deavoured to hold her up against the 1 win d In spite of these precautions the Agamemnon was carried into contact with the Ageroen. I Out of Command. I The defendants said that their vessel could not have remained outside or in the Ic-k. and she took all the tug assist- ance available. She got out of command owing to the extreme severity of the sudden squall aad, pleaded the defend-, aiitsn, the collision was in the circuni- j stances unavoidable. At the conclusion of the evidence for l defendants, whose witnesses were called first, his Lordship said the Court was of.' opinion that defendants had Dot proved I that the collision was an inevitable accident. The weather was not so extra- ordinary that, with ordinary seaman- ship. the collision might not have been avoided. There would be judgment for the plaintiffs with costs.

MR. C. R. TRUEMAN. 1 LIVELY PROCEEDINGS ATJVJEATH I POLICE COURT. < There was another strong manifestation of public interest at Neath Police Court on Monday centering upon a series of cases ii) which Mr. Clement Robert True- man, the well-known litigant, was inter- ested. When his nátllo was called by the clerk, to appear as defendant for obstructing the footway, Mr. 'Prueman raised the ques- tion of jurisdicti?B. He said he was sum- moned under section 53 of the Neath Market Act, and consequently should be tried by county justices. The Clerk (Mr. Curtis): The magis- trates sitting are justices of the peace for the county, with jurisdiction limited. Mr. Trueman argued that they were in- terested persons, and raised the question of bias, pointing out Mr. Hopkin Morgan, the presiding magistrate, was a member of the Watch Committee. Chairman The Watch Committee has nothing to do with it. I exercise my right as:a magistrate, and I am going to sjt in thi? case. Mr. Trueman: Very well; I have raised the point, and you decide against me. Sale of Pamphlets. I Mr. Powell then briefly opened the case, and P.C. Watkin Jones said that on Sat- urday, July 11th, defendant took up a position outside the market. On the foot- path he placed his dispatch bag, and was selling pamphlets. He kept' him under observation from 6 o'clock to 8.55, and during this period the footpath was ob- structed by defendant. He received com- plaints, and when he spoke to Mr. True- man, defendant replied: "I didn't know I was obstructing; if you say so, I'll move Witness was cross-examined at length, several questions put being objected to by Mr. Powell. Witness refused to answer the question I who gave him instructions to keep him I under observation, saying he was simply I carrying out his ordinary duties. Defendant :Did Mr. lliggins give you instructions? I Mr. Powell: I object. Defendant made a remark which the Chairman resented, and told Mr. True- man to proceed with his case without personalities, and not waste time. P.C. Burns corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Trueman, rising to crosp-examine, wanted to know if Mr. lliggins was to be called. Mr. Powell: Xo. I Retaliation Suggested. Mr. Trueman: Well, I should like him to be called; I want to show that this is retaliation for the summons I took out against him. Mr. Powell: Which was dismissed. Mr. Trueman: On payment of costs. The conviction stands against hinu. Mr. Powell: It does not. Mr. Trueman questioned witness as to why he did not tell him to move on. Witi,.cAt; reptied. "It ii unnecessary for j mo to teach you the law." Mr. Trueman: Were you instructed by Mr. Higgins. or some other superior person, to keep me under observation y Witness: I received no instructions. I Mr. Trueman: Do you expect the Bench to believe that ? Mr. Powell: Please take his answer. P.C. lies corroborated the evidence of obstruction. This concluded the case for the prose- cution. Mr. Trueman was about to open his case, when the Chairman asked: Do you dispute being there?" Mr. Trueman: No; I was there, and had been for the last ton weeks. I'm going to show that I have a perfect right to stand there—a much better right than tho head constable had to eject me from the Market on the previous Saturday, and polfe mo in the ribs with his stick. I Chairman's Rebuke. The Chairman: You are introducing matters which have nothing to do with the case. Please understand that the Market has nothing to do with this case. Mr. Trueman: You are bound to hear my defence. The Chairman; But we are Dot going to waste our time. Mr. Trueman: I'm going to show that I have a perfect right to stand in the street and sell my Quills." The Chairman: Wo say the point has nothing to do with the case. Mr. Trueman: Do you refuse to hear I my defence ? j The Chairman: We want to limit the Ca&? to the point at issue. Mr. Trueman: If the Market Act is not understood by you. for Heaven's sake let me explain it to you! Chairman (warmly): Please conduct your case without giving offence. If you aro going to deal offensively with the Bench, we shall find a way of dealing with you. Mr. Trueman: Well, let me proceed. Chairman: You cannot justify a viola- tion of the law. Mr. Trueman: But I have a perfect right to be there. I say you are hound to hear my arguments before you decide this case. If you won't say so, and I'll finish. Trueman's Evidence. I Mr. Trueman cited a case, and then gave evidence. He said he went to the market with a pack of books, and saw the manager, Mr. Lewis, about a standing. He was told it was receiving consideration, and he then went to Queen-^tieet, and commenced to sell his publications. When stopped by -.to police officer, he never sold a single book but walked awav. Mr. lowell: Y Oll were there front six till nine on the busiest night of the week. Mr. Trueman: It was my busiest night. Mr. A. Lewis, Market Inspector, spoke as to defendant asking for a standing. The Decision. Chamuan: We have considered your I case, Mr. Trueman; you have really no defence, and you are fined 10s. and costs. I Mr. Trueman; Will you give me time to I pay? Chairman: Yon can arrange, that with I the Chief Constable. Trueman Asks for Sureties. I Mr. Trueman then charged Charles Jacob, I!i?h-street, j?eath, with ?siug ob- scene language, on Saturday, July 11th, and alw aed for anreti?s of th& peace. j Mr. Edward Powell appeared for defen- davit. COillvlainant said that at about nine o'clock a police constable ordered him away from his standing. He went into the road and T alked up and down. Jacobs came on the scene and called him a ——- eld ]laver," and continued. You tried to get me six months; I'll knock your —— head off I" I called," added Mr. Trueman, for an officer of the law. but the officer had vanished." (Laughter.) Mr. Powell: You are now trying to accuse the officer of putting Jacobs on to assault you. Complainant: Very well, it's your own construction. I went to look for a police- man, and Jacobs followed all the way, shouting and using a lot of bad language, such as: If you were a young man, I'd punch your face off." An Officer Found. At last I found an oiffcer," said Mr. Trueman, and he returned with me at a funeral pace, but Jacobs had gone, and I went home." In reply to the magistrates, Trueman 6aid he was afraid of Jacobs. Hose Jenkins, Penrhiewtwn, Fred Ifig- gins. manager of Cash Boot Stores. Neath, Joseph Greenwood. Skewen. and David j Elliott, 19, Wind-street, Neath, gave! evidence in support; of complainant's evi-:i dence. Mr. Powell said he was not going to, deny that bad language was used by j Jacobs; but in mitigation, said the origin of the row was caused by Mr. Trueman, j who made offensive gestures and sneered! in Jacobs' face. He did not call auy wit-; nesses. I Bench's Decision. The Chairman: With regard to the sum- mons against Mr. Jacobs for sureties of the peace, the Bench is not satisfied that your are in fear of this man, and the sum- mons is dismissed. We consider the case for obscene language proved, and Jacobs I will be fined us., and costs, or seven days. Clear the Cotirt." At the conclusion of the court, Mr. I Trueman preSEnted himself to the Chief Constable, and asked if he was ready to take him do D. to Switusea Jail. The Chief Constable's only reply was: U Please clear the court," and Mr. True- man was rushed out with the crowd.

A very animated auad interesting dic-uLwsi<)u took place, some of the delegates claiming that the leaders had taken very serious and grave step to allow the employers tb ae- part from the old method of working, before giving the men who were to be affected by cuch change, an opportunity to discuss the master. Mr. Tom Uriflith3, the organiser, gave a review of the whole poeiUon. lie dealt with the history of the trade from 1891 up to the present time, and showed the de- velopment of the trade in other countries, and tiaid that if the trifle wa sto be re- tained in this country, it was only going to be done by the workers and employ era eo-operacung together. Mr. Orituihd complimented the delegates for the intelligent interest they were Liking in their trade, and pointed out that their criticism and addrestjes were both helpful and ueslul.

In addition, he pointed out to the men that the first three months I would be experimental, and he gave them an undertaking thit no permanent change of any character should take place in the trade until the whole of the delegates had been consulted on the matter. The delegates, after having the explana- tion of Mr. decided to endorse the action of the officials, and put their trust and confidence in them. the guaran- tee having been given that no permanent changes should take place in any works in tho trade before the men had been con- sulted on the matter.
