Passing Pleasantries. A class of schoolchildren were being pre- pared to perform the tragedy Wno Killed Cock Robin?" at a school entertainment. The boy who impersonated Cock Robin was taught to fail on the floor at a. given point. But on the eventful day, when the moment arrived, he did not fall. The verse was repeated, but again he did not fall. Being asked his reason, he replied: "My mother said I wasn't to fall, for l'ie *ct on my Sunday clothes." CARELESS CORRESPONDENCE. A gentleman and his wife had been invited, ,ile had been invil?ed to an evening party. He wanted to go, but his wife declared that she had no gown suit- able for the occasion, and asked him to send "regrets" to their hostess. Thereupon the man, while at his office, penned this facetious note: "We regret that your kind invitation must be declined for all the conventional reasons, but the real reason is that half the family haa nothing to wear. My wife's latest dress is over three weeks old, and her ha.t is twelve hours out of date. You will appreciate the hopelessness of the occasion and excuse us." He thought this so good that he went fur. ther, and determined to be smartly sarcastic at the expense of his wife. He wrote a note to her explaining that he would not be at home for an early dinner, as she had asked him. The note ran: "I cannot accept your invitation because I am going out to an evening party where the guests are not expected to wear anything of importance. Sorry I won't be there to kiss you good night." Unfortunately he was careless; the notes went into the wrong envelopes, and the lady who had invited the couple was somewha.t surprised at the man's audacity.

LADY'S ADVENTURE. Finds a Burglar in Her House. A FRUITLESS SEARCH FOR A POLICEMAN. At West London Police-court Frank Tanar, 34, a foreigner, living in Percy-street, Totten- ham Court-road, was charged (before Mr. Lane, K.C.) with breaking into 9, Albert-place Ken- sington. the residence of Mrs. Keith Abbott, and stealing a box of knives and forks, a, bottle of champagne, six bottles of skerry, two bottles of whisky, two bottles of brandy, and other articles, of the total value of Miss, Maud Abbott said she was awakened in the early hours of the morning by her dog moving restlessly about the room. She got out of bed, and on descending the stairs noticed that the kitchen gas was alight, and she heard a noise in the housekeepers room. She opened the door quietly, and went in search of a policeman, but, failing to find one, returned, and, going half-way down the kitchen stairs, said aloud, Here, policeman, there's someone in the kitchen." (Laughter.) Thereupon there was a crashing of glass, fol- lowed by the sound of footsteps across the gravel path in the garden. She went the second time to the front door, to find a. police- man, but again her search was fruitless, and she re-entered the house when, as she approached the kitchen, she found that the intruder had returned to the housekeeper's room. The moment he heard her footsteps he clambered out of the window, crossed the garden, and scaling the wall, disappeared. Everything downstairs was in great confusion, all the drawers and cupboards being ran- sacked, and there were marks of blood on the floor cauaed by the burglar cutting his hand in the act of breaking the window. Some hours later the prisoner was stopped by a policeman, and found to be in possession of part of the stolen property, and he was taken to the police-station.—The magistrates re- manded him.

"TRAIN IN A CREEK. Serious Railway Disaster in Canada. At noon yesterday a passenger train on the Grand Trunk Railway ran off the rails, nea-r Gueelph. Canada, and went down a fifteen-foot embankment into a. creek. One girl was drownad. One hundred and fifty passengers were in the train at the time, and nearly all of them were injured. Most of them, however, received minor injuries, only about 30 being seriously hurt Five persons will probably succumb to their injuries. The escape of the j passengers from instant death was miraculous,

MILITARY SCANDAL IN SERVIA. According to advices received in Vienna from Servia, Professor Alexander Borislav- jevies, of the Belgrade University, has been challenged to duels by four Servian officers, one being General Oentories, formerly Minister of War. It is reported King Alex- ander peremptorily ordered each of these officers to challenge the professor to a duel to the death, because the latter had publicly charged them with having obtained promo- tion over the heaof their seniors by servility to Queen Draga. The King's action is severely criticised in Servia, where duelling is not a national custom.

THE CANAL AND CUBAN TREATIES New York, Thursday.—The Senate votes on the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty this afternoon. The amendment in favour of the annexation of Cuba, moved yesterday, will, it is expected, be rejected to-day and the treaty ratified. Dispatches from Colon state that the ratifica- tion of the Isthmian Canal Treaty will be strongly opposed in the Colombian Congress. Many influential Colombians are signing a memorial protesting against the canal.Oen- tral News.

LORD DUDLEY'S PLATE In the Dublin Southern Court yesterday two women, named Agnes Byrne and Ma.bel Mitchell, were charged with having daring the past two months stolen a quantity of silver and plated spoons, valued at C21, the property of the Lord-lieutenant and Messrs. West and Son, silversmiths, College-green, Dublin. It appeared that Messrs. West had charge of the silver at Dublin Oaetle, and that Byrne had been employed there temporarily as a kitchen servant. Assistants from pawnshops proved that Bitchell had pledged spoons.-The Magis- trate censured the pawnbrokers for receiving without due inquiry such goods from women whose appearance showed that they were not likely to possess them. Some of the øpüODli were shown to bear the Lord-lieutenant's crest. The prisoners were remanded for a week.

MOTHER CHARGED WITH MURDER The Basingstoke County Bench yesterday committed for trial Elizabeth West, the young wife of a labourer at Mortimer West-end, a Hampshire village close to the Berkshire border, on a charge of wilfully murdering her newly-born male child, the fourth of her family, on March 4. The body was found nine days after the birth in a cardboard box, which was placed in a cradle and covered with old clothes and rags in a lumber-room. There was a wound Ziin. long on the left side of the neck, severing the windpipe and the principal arteries. She admitted the crime, and had told one of the witnesses that she had run a pair of ocissors into the baby's neck, but did not know why. To the ooroner's jury, who held the inquest, the husband stated that he knew nothing of the occurrence, though he was at home every day.

JUDGE BACON'S SAYINGS Judge Bacon relieved a long and mono- tonous day's proceedings at Bloomsbury County-court yesterday by a number of flashes of characteristic humour. I am afraid I have been unbusinesslike in this matter," said a lady. Do not do your- self such an injustice," replied his honour, no woman is unbusinesslike." I cannot listen in patience to such a story," exclaimed an excitable lady, who was being sued by a milkman. And why not?" said the judge, wearily; remember, I will have to listen to you, too." Good advice," said his honour, with a sigh, "is at once the most valuable and the cheapest thing in existence. Everybody needs it, but most people would not give twopence for. a barrowful." What do you mean by the word founda- tion which you are using so often?" inquired his honour of a garrulous foreigner. I mean he is telling von lie, your honour." "Ah!" said his honour, "you mean 'fabrication.' There is a great difference between the two things. Remember, that a foundation is some- thing solid, while a fabrication is an airy structure which has no foundation what- ever.

I DR. JAMESON AND CAPE POLITICS Cape Town, Wednesday.—Dr. Jameson, reply- ing this evening to an address of welcome and congratulation on his appointment as presi- dent of the Progressive Association, referred to the Raid as a blunder which he had expiated, and which he had hoped had been condoned. He paid a tribute to the work done by Dr. Smartt, and said the latter's success at East London indicated the result of the forth- coming general election. The greatest states- man of the day had, naturally, produced incalculable good. There must be no compro- mise on the political question, but every com- promise on the racial question.

SOUTH AFRICA. I Discontent Amongst the Troops. AN UNSATISFACTORY STATE OF AFFAIRS. A telegram from Bloemfontein dated yester- day says:—It is impossible to travel much in the new Colonies without noticing the extreme dissatisfaction which is felt both by the officers and men of the army. Although peace has been concluded for more than nine months the large majority of the troops are still in tents. In some cases married officers, who are unable to bear the cost of keeping their wives in England, have brought them out here, and they, too, are living in tents. It is impos- sible to obtain double-fly tents for the men, who, in consequence, sufFer greatly from the heat.

THE FULHAM TRAGEDY I Mr. S. Ingleby Oddie. deputy-coroner, held an inquiry at Fulham yesterday into the cir- l cumstances attending the death of Elizabeth. Rogers, aged 28 years, and her son, George I William Rogers, aged two years and eight l months.—William John Rogers, linesman, Coomer-road, said that his wife had not been in good health since her confinement on Feb- ruary 10, and had complained of being unable to sleep at night. She was pasaionately fond of the child. The fact that a doctor had sug- gested an operation had preyed on her mind. On Thursday she said she had not slept all night, and the devil had tempted her to kill herself, and she got out of bed and prayed to God, and felt a different woman afterwards. During Friday night she was in and ont of bed several times, kissing the children. On Saturday morning witness dressed the chil- dren, and took the girl Olive to see his father. The child George said, "Me come, dada"; but iais wife replied, "Georgie, stay at home." She kissed the girl and said, "Good-bye," and then asked witness to kiss her. He said, "I am only going across the road," and she replied, "Never mind, I want to kiss you." When he returned she was locked in the room. He forced the door, and saw mother and child on the floor, with their throats cut. He at once went for assistance.—In the case of the child, the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against Elizabeth Rogers," and found that sha committed suicide while of unsound mind.

THE STAGE-MANAGER'S DEBTS. I To a well-dressed woman' who appeared at Bloomsbury County-court yesterday on behalf of her husband, said to be a stage manager, on a judgment summons, Judge Bacon asked why the order had not been complied with. Witness: Well, we haven't had the money. All the lodgera in my house owe me money, and I have a large family. Judge Bacon: How old are your children? Witness: Well, they vary- Judge Bacon: They do in most families. (Laughter.) What does your husband get a week? Are you deaf? Witness: Yee, on one side. (Laughter.) Judge Bacon: Then turn the other. (Laughter.) How muc-h does your husband get a w&ek? Witness: Thirty-five shillings. Judge Bacon: I will adjourn this case for a fortnight, and, if he does not pay, your hus- band will have an engagement at Wormwood Scrabba-but not as a stage manager. (Loud laughter.)

DUBLIN CONSPIRACY CHARGE I In Dublin yesterday Mr. Whitaker applied on behalf of the plaintiff in the case of Bernard Daly, of Tullamore, against Frank E. du Bedat for an order appointing him equit- able receivar over a. sum of money in t??. handg of Sergeant Brien, of the Dublin Deteo- tive Department. The plaintiff's affidavit 1 stated that on April 15, 1399, he entered judgment for JS95 on account of money had and received by the defendant for the plain- tiff's use, which judgment was obtained on consent after appearance. The judgment wa.s etill in force and unsatisfied to the extent of L89 178.. 8d. When the d-efendaut was arretted on a charge of conspiracy to defraud he had a sum of about JS500 in gold and notes in his possession, and the only possible means of realising the judgment was to have the plain- 1 tiff appointed equitable receiver over the money. Mr. Justice Boyd granted a condi- tional order at the plaintiff's risk.

SUICIDE BY ELECTRICITY I Last evening a well-to-do merchant in MilaR adopted a somewhat novel method of comit- ting suicide. He jumped on a post carrying the wires through which pass the powerful currents for the electric trams and public illumination. He then seized the wires with both hands, and was instantly killed. This is the first suicide by electricity to occur in Italy.

QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY I The governors of this corporation have made their annual distribution of surplus funds in grants to meet benefactions offered on behalf of poor benefices in England and Wales. The benefices approved for augmentation were 143 in number, ranging in value from nil to X196 per annum. The benefactions offered on behalf of these benefices were of the value of £ 49,981 15s. 6d. and the grants amounted to £ 29.810. The governors who took part in the distribution were the Archbishop of Canter- bury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Rochester, the Bishop of St. David's, the Bishop of Bangor, Lord Barnard, Lord Ashcombe, Lord Glannsk, the Eight Hon. T. F. Halsey, M.P., Mr. Cyril Dodd, K.C., Mr. Charles Gould, K.C., Mr. L. T, Dibdin, I K.C., Alderman Sir Joseph Savory, and Mr. J. S. Gilliat.

NATIVE DISTRESS IN THE TRANSVAAL I The drought has caused a great shortage in I the mealie crop of the North-West Transvaal, and this has resulted in severe distress among the natives, who are being driven thereby to I seek Ia,boar. Many of them are trekking towards the mines. It is interesting to note in this connection that a large influx of big game is taking place in these districts. Buck of all kinds are crowding in, including a species which has for long been rare in the Transvaal. This is held to indicate a deficiency of food in the West, which is likely to rouse the natives to the necessity of earning their living.

FOOTBALL LAWS. Obscure Rule Queries Answered. A COLUMN FOR PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS. RUGBY CODE. j From Cardiff QUESTION.—Will you kindly explain in the Express" how Bancroft got hurt in the Irish match in 1899 at, Cardiff? ANSWER.—I am sorry that I cannot explain how Bancroft rea-lly got injured. report gave it from a rush of the Irish forwards. Pos- sibly, "W. J." himself will let us know, to oblige a correspondent. From Bridgend QUESTION.-Is it possible for any interna- tional football player to play for two different countries if the committee grant him a transfer, and by right of residence? ANSWER.—It is possible, but highly improb- able. There are no direct rules bearing on this point. There have been cases before Win- field's time of a, man ha.ving been by the pure indenniteness of what constitutes a country's qualification able to be on both reserve lists. In the days of the three great English three- quarters, Bolton, Evanson, and Wade, there was an idea. that Evanson would have been chosen by either of tke countries, England or Wales, that made the later selection. In these days a man having played for one country has no chance to play for another, although no rule exists to the contrary. Take Skrimshire's case. Undoubtedly, if Skrimshire had not played for Wale3 he would have had his English cap, for Skrimshire is thought very highly of by the English selectors. From Acting Referee I QUESTIOX.-In a recent Swaausea match a Swansea three-quarter punted the ball down the field, the ball dropping near one of his own forwards, who was, of course, off-side. The kicker himself did not follow up, but, funnily, the full-back, who was standing be- hind the kicker, did follow up. ODuld he put his off-side forward on-side. If not, don't you think it foolish that he could not. ANSWER—No, he couldn't put this forward on-side. I think, with you, that it is foolish. -_u- From Llanelly u I QUESTION.—Did Margrave, the UlaneUy half-back, play inetrraational at all? ANSWER.—Yes. Tour Welsh Union Hand- book shows Margrave as having played twice- once against England in 1884 and the same year against &otland. You may, perhaps, have expected him to have been mentioned as a half-back. The strange part of it is that he played as a forward. From Solicitor I QUESTION.-Do. you consider Jewett a faster man than Cecil Biggs? ANSWSiR.—The fact of my considering either the faster of the two will not make it to be so, so that my opinion is worthless in this case. Again, it ia no use watching the speed of men on th.e field to come to a oorreot decision. There is so much to warp the judgment. A seemingly slow mover is often- times a faster man than he who seems to move rapidly. The difference of style often confuses. One test there is and only one, and that is Time." Having no idea. of the times of the two players, I really cannot say which is the faster.

ASSOCIATION CODE. I Amongst refereea there seems to be a some- what general impression that appointments to matches are made by the Referees' Society. This is not the case. The society consists of referees who have their names on the register of the South Wales Football Association, and who POSBesS the official permit to referee in Soccer matches in Wales. The various matches during a season's football fall, roughly, under three heads:— 1. Cup matches—senior and junior. I 2. League matches. II 3. Friendly matches. 1, Appointments to any of these must be made from the list of registered men. That is essential. Bat each authority appoints its officials. I will take the above three in order. In the cup matches the referees are appointed by the committee of the association. In league games the league committee, theoretically, makes the appointments. I say theoretically because if the two clubs concerned can mutually agree to a certain referee the league formally confirms the appointment. Coming to the third class of matches, the friendly games, it is obvious that the two clubs have a free hand, provided, as I have said. their selection is made from the list. However, if two clubs who are due to play a "friendly" cannot agree upon an official, the secretary of the association (Mr. Axtell) has been empowered by the rules to send a qualified man if he is appealed to with proper notice. From a notice to hand from Mr. Owen, of the Referees' Society, this matter of referee appointment is on the agenda for to-night's monthly meeting at the Alexandra Hotel. Apart from this one item, it will not be a waste of time to spend a couple of hours there. You will be in time if you start now if you are a Cardiffian. Now to the queries. I must not neglect them. From Porth. QUESTION.—B is standing off-side. One of his own side sends in a shot which crashes against the upright and rebounds to B. Would B be still off-side, or would it be a goal if B shot into the net? ANSWER —No goal. B would still be off- side. In effect B has received a pass from one of his own side. The fact that the ball re- bounded from the upright does not put B on side again. If the ball had come from the goal-keeper or from any other of the oppo- nents it would have been a. different thing. From Roath. I QUESTION 1.—A shot which was almost cer- tain to score hit the referee and went over the goal-line (not through goal). Could the referee allow a goal seeing that it was such "hard lines"? ANSWER.—No. The referee would givfe a goal kick. QUESTION Z.-The goalkeeper took a goal kick, and the ball rebounded off the referee through goal. Should the kick be re-taken, as no other player had played the ball? ANSWER.—A corner kick would result. In effect a defender has kicked the ball over his own goal-line. From Cadoxton. I QUESTION.—I know what it would be if the backs did it, but what should be given if the goalkeeper ran out and tripped a. forward who was just thinking of shooting? AKSWER.-Penalty kick. With the excep- tion of handling the ball the penalty kick law affects the goalkeeper's actions equally with the rest of his side. I From Ebbw Vale. QUESTION.—Has a referee power to order a. player off the field for misconduct in a friendly match? ANSWER.—Yes. The laws of the game apply to every match, "friendly," league, or cup. The player should be reported to the associa- tion—the South Wales in this district—if the referee has to take this extreme step on the field.

VOLUNTEER SERVICE An Extraordinary Story of Blundering. WAR OFFICE AND A WELSH OFFICER. A pamphlet has reached us, entitled "A War Office Recognition of Volunteer Service. The history of how it was rendered and how re- warded." This pamphlet tells a Tery remark- able story of the treatment meted out by the War Office to Mr. Charles Herbert Rees, a. Welsh Volunteer office" of long standing. If ,of long stamding' If the facts related in thia pamphlet are true, the story is one of the most astounding pieces of War Office blundering and injustice that we have read. It ia a matter which requires official explanation, and we trust it will be demanded. Mr. Rees took a commission in 1874 in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, which was divided in 1897 into two battalions, and Mr. Rees took command of the newly- created third battalion. From the statements in the pamphlet, he appears to have managed the affairs of the battalion very successfully, and during the time he waa in command large private contributions were made to the funds. When his period of com- mand expired a. request was made by the lord-lieutenant of the county of Carnarvon, on behalf of the officers, who unanimously desired it, to extend, his command, but this was refused. On June 11, 1901. the "London Gazette" announced the retirement of Lieu- tenant-colonel and Hon. Colonel 0. H. Rees, "with permission to retain his rank and wear the uniform." On January 11 follow- ing Mr. Rees received a letter from the War Office intimating that he was surcharged on the battalion accounts, and demanding pay- ment of X196 17s. 8d. in consideration of the following items, which the War Office affirmed had been improperly expended by Mr. Rees: —(1) £ 62 3s. 10d. for insurance of members of the Active Service Company and for silver match-boxes presented to such men as souvenirs; (2) JM2 12s. 7d. for railway carriage of clothing and equipment, railway fares, postage, stationery, Ac., at headquarters; (3) JB52 la. 3d. in connection with a field day held on the reception of the members of the Active Service Company on their return from South Africa. This claim Mr. Reetl resisted, on the ground that the expenditure was authorised, that more than double the amount had been received from private sources, and that Mr. Rees since his gazetted retirement had become a civilian, and was relieved from any military rules. Payment of the money, he held, if legally due, should be obtained by action in a civil court. Instead of doing this, however, the War Office made a threat. Major-general Turner writes: I am to inform you that Mr. Brod- rick is utable to alter his previous decision, and that unless the sum of EI96 17s. 8d. be -inanding he 3rd remitted to the officer commanding the 3rd Volunteer Battalion Itoyal Welsh Fusiliers within fourteen days from the date of this letter it will be necessary for the Commander- in-Chief to consider whether the privilege of retention of rank and the Volunteer officers' decoration should not be withdrawn from ycu." Mr. Rees protested against this threat, and did not comply. On December 5, 1902, appeared the following notice in the London Gazette"3rd V.B. Royal Welsh Fusiliers.— The permission granted to Lieutenant-colonel and Hon. Colonel C. H. Rees to retain his rank and,wear the uniform of the battalion on retirement is cancelled." These are, briefly, some of the facts. There may be others which the pamphlet does not disclose. It may also be held that the funds of a battalion ought not to be devoted to the purchase of presentation match-boxes and the insurance of active service men. But, even if this be so, the punishment meted out to Colonel Rees, without any official explanation of why it was so meted out, must strike one a.s singularly wanting in fairness and con- sideration on the part of the War Office. This question ought to be cleared up publicly.

CARDIFF INFIRMARY FUND. Attractive Offers to "Evening Express" Collectors. FOR THE BEST RECORDS IN THE i FIRST HALF OF 1903. A Century Model Pianoforte (cash price of which is £ 25), given by Messrs. THOMPSON and SHACJKELL (Limited), is offered to the collector for the "Evening Express" Penny Fund for Cardiff Infirmary who does best in the first six months of 1903. This piano is on view at the Central Musio Warehouse, 24, Queen-street, Cardiff. A three-guinea Mandoline, with a term of free tuition on that instrument, is offered by Miss MILDRED WATERS, of Fernleigh, 105, Albany-road, Cardiff, to the collector for the "Evening Express" fund who does second best in the six months. A Gentleman's Holiday Suit, or a Lady's Cos- tume. made to order, and of the value of three guineas, is offered by Mr. HERBERT GIBBS, of Gower House, 41, Tudor-road, Cardiff, to the person who makes the third best collection for the Infirmary in the six months. Another Portrait Offer. The Coronation Portrait. Company, 1, Hinton-street, Cardiff, will take, free of charge, and present to each of the first 50 persons who pay in the value of at least one book of tickets from Monday, the 23rd inst., a portrait enlargement, size 12in. by lOin. Collectors, Return Your Numbers. "Evening Express" collectors are requested to be careful, when paying in money to the general secretary of the Infirmary, to return the covers of their collecting book or books, so that the register numbers may be noted and recorded. Every book issued has a dis- tinct number, and it is registered with the name and address of the person holding it. As the books are returned, it is necessary that the numbers should be returned as well, so that they may be crossed off the register. Conditions. I The prizes described above will be given to the collectors for the "Evening Express" Fund for Cardiff Infirmary who, between January 1 and June 30, 1903, pay to Mir. LEONARD D. REA the three highest amounts collected on "Evening Express" Penny Infir- mary Stamps. Members of both sexes and of all ages may compete, and the books of stamps may be obtained, free of charge, from Mr. Rea. or the "Evening Express" Office, Cardiff. To-day's Returns. I The following amounts, collected by means of the "Evening Express" penny stamp books towards the Cardiff Infirmary funds, have been received by Mr. Leonard D. Rea, the secretary of the institution, to-day:- Miss Bertha Ann Jones, la, Raglan-street, Treherbert, 2s. 9d. Total np to date, £ 212 6s. Id. Collectors, Beware. A day or two ago a man called at a house in Cathays, Cardiff, and represented he had been sent to collect. "Express" Infirmary Stamp Books, and any money which holders of such books have in hand. THAT MAN WAS A FRAUD. No one has been sent to call (n people in this way. If this man or any other person again attempts to obtain books or money from "Express" collectors the enter- prising individual should be handed over to the police. When the outstanding books and money are called in authoritatively it will be done in a manner which will leave no doubt as to the bona fides of those doing the work.

HUSBAND'S TRIALS. Loses His Wife and his Stock-in-Trade. ANGRY SCENE WHICH ENDS IN THE POLICE CELLS. ,jot content with carrying off the wife of his neighbour, who is the owner of an ambulant circus, an Arab dealer in carpets further insulted the outraged husband by marching away with sundry animals, includ- ing several performing dogs, and last, not least, with a small boy whose antics enhanced the attractions of his entertainments. The parties (says a Paris correspondent) had been encamped at a rural fair, and, as soon as the proprietor of the show realised that he had lost hia sponse and a substantial portion of his stock-in-trade as well in one fell swoop, he started in search of the fugitives, and, having traced them to Paris, he suddenly pounced down on them as they were engaged in an exhibition on one of the remote boulevards. The fascinating female was doing a good stroke of business in the fortune-telling line, while her companion was putting the dogs through their paces as best he could, when a hand was laid heavily on his shoulder. Turn- ing round, he beheld the man whom he had wronged. The Arab, however, proved equal- to the occasion, as, with, ready presence of mind, though not with strict regard to veracity, he called out in broken French, for the edification of the spectators of the queer scene, that his unwelcome visitor was a thief, who had robbed him of several hundred francs, and with loud cries of "Police!" coolly awaited the issue. When the police came up in obedience to the summons, they were utterly bewildered and unable to make out what it was all about, as a veritable pande- monium, in which the excited animals figured prominently, had ensued, so they con- ducted the whole party off to the station. There the Arab, after a bold effort to brazen it out, was compelled to confess his guilt, The injured husband, however, had a bad time of it, too. Various questions were addressed to the little boy, who said that the proprietor of the itinerant circus and his wife were not his parents, and gave a different name to theirs. As there is a. very plausible suspicion that the child may have been kidnapped, the man was detained in custody with his enemy, the Arab, the woman being left in charge of the performing dogs and other features of the show until the affair is settled one way or the other.

NEW YORK TRAFFIC CONTROL I English Methods Adopted by the I Police. Captain Piper, of the New York Police, who recently visited London to learn the English methods of managing street traffic, has lost no time in applying these methods. He began the experiment on Tuesday at the intersection of Broadway and Canal-street, one of the busiest crossings in the city. Trafflo was stopped alternately in one street and then the other, and it was found that in the end the passage of vehicles was much accelerated. Hitherto traffio has been allowed to regulate itself, a policeman appearing only when things got into such a hopeless tangle as to causa a block. The language of the drivers of vehicles was free and disrespectful, but Captain Piper expecta to extends the system to other busy points.

THE BOMBA BAY STORY The question regarding Great Britain's alleged action in "Bomba Bay" is still exciting1 considerable comment in Rome. Both the "Tribuna" and the "Giornale dItalia, print long interviews with persons who are acquainted with Bomba. From these inter- views it appears that much exaggeration has been indulged in and that no little credulity has been evinced. Not only is "Bomba Bay" not a. bay, but M.

The construction of Tanat Valley Light Rail- way, which the Government is heavily subsi- dising, is so far advanced that the contractor, Mr. Strachan, of Oardiff, was able yesterday to take a trainload of inhabitants of the district which the railway is designed to serve on a free trip to Oswestry Market. The journey was made in ballast wagons, and the unique experience was much appreciated, eome of the travellers never before having seen a railway, much less travelled by one. To accustom such a benighted people to railway travelling, Mr. Strachan announces his intention of running free trains every Wednesday and Saturday until the line is officially opened.
