Passing Pleasantries. There are many books and one good one in the mind of every man, but most of us are ■poor choosers. Oneida: Windycuss is a great word juggler, isn't he? Meridan: Tea; and every time he chances to strike an idea it nearly paralyses him. Pessimist: I wonder how old Billione has the face to go to church. Optimist: Oh, success covers a multitude of sins. "Their engagement was rather romantic, was it not?" "Teo, rather. They went in bathing, got beyond their depth, and were completely car- ried away with each other."

CROSS DIVORCE SUIT Lady and the German Pig." DECEIVES HER HUSBAND WHO I OBTAINS RELIEF. The further hearing of the Cross divorce suit, Jones v. Jones, and Jones v. Jones and Ruggenbeau, was resumed in the Divorce- court yesterday before Sir Francis Jeunc and a special jury. The husband, who was engaged in the City in a drapery firm, in his petition prayed for the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the alleged mis- conduct of his wife with the co-respondent, who was engaged at a. touring office in the City. The recpondent and co-respondent denied the allegations in the petition. The wife in her petition aasked for judicial separa- tion on the ground of the cruelty of her husband, which he denied. Mrs. Jones, in continuing her examination- in-chief by Mr. Witt, said Mr. Raggenbeaa first came to board and lodge in their house at Dulwich at the end of May last year. He was 22 years of age. At first, for a time, Mr. Jones was friendly with Mr. Ruggenbeau, but some time afterwards they ceased to be so. Her husband had called Mr. Ruggenbeau a German pig. She had never been guilty of the slightest impropriety with the co-respondent or any other person. Last Bank Holiday in August the co-respondent left at nine in the morning, and did not return until ten at night. She never saw him all day. It was untrue that he was with her all that day. She had certainly met the co-respondent on several occasions and had walked with him about Dulwich, but there were always plenty of people about the places they visited. There never was anything more than friendship between her and Ruggenbeau. She certainly never regarded him as a lover. In cross-examination by Mr. Deane, Mrs. Jones said she had had two formal letters from Ruggenbeau. She did not refuse to show them to her husband. She had burnt them, and therefore she could not do so. At times she would assist Ruggenbeau in his en- deavours to acquire the English language. She left off walking with Ruggenbeau because her husband objected to it. She knew she was being watched by Slater's people because on one occasion one of them spoke to her. She had never sat alone for any length of time with him in the dining-room. Ethel Belcher, who had been in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Jones at Dulwich from April, 19C2, to June, said she never saw impropriety of any kind on the part of her mistress. Mr. Jones acted very cruelly towards his wife, and she had also heard him threaten her. Other witnesses gave evidence as to the cruelty alleged, among them being Mrs. Jones's father, Mr. Mills, who spoke of seeing bruises on her arms. Mr. Cowlinshaw, a clerk in Messrs Cook and Son's tourists' office. Fleet-street, said Ruggenbeau was at one time an ordinary clerk in the office. He left on March 14 of this year. He believed he was now in Germany. He (witness) had never seen him since he left. In the result, the jury found that Mrs. Jones had been guilty of misconduct, and that. Mr. Jones had not been guilty of cruelty. Sir F. Jeune granted Mr. Jones, the husband, a decree nisi with costs.

I SIMPLE-MINDED PERSON." I Lord Downshire and His Bills I of Exchange. At Marlborough-etreet, London, yesterday the hearing was resumed of a summons against Arthur Edward Saunders Sebright. of Wargrave Court, Berks., charging him with fraudulently inducing the Marquess of Down- shire to accept two billa of exchange for E5,750, each payable three months after date. —Lord Downshire, further cross-examined by Mr. Newton, who represented defendant, vaid he did not remember signing two bills for £ 3,000 each before he signed the Sebright bills. He did not remember before charging a person with fraud and having to withdraw the charge unless it was in connection with a cigarette company. When he signed the bills in this case he thought they were formal documents, and that he was going to get £1,000 for nothing. He did not know what the word solvent" meant. Mr. Newton said he would show defendant was by no means the simple-minded person he wished people to think he was. He desired an adjournment, so that he might address the magistrate and call witnesses for the defence.—Mr, Denman accordingly adjourned the caae for a week.

A CORSICAN VENDETTA I A telegram from Ajaccio to the Paris Temps relates the details of a remarkable case of vendetta. A bandit, named Poli, escaped from Cayenne and returned to Corsica, where he, some time since, killed a man, named Lecca. The latter'a three sons, wbo were working in France, at once went back !I to Corsica to avenge their father's murder. Yesterday M. Gentili, the mayor of Calea- toggio, was out driving with Poli's brother, Pascal Poli. They had hardly started when one of the brothers Lecca, who was hidden by the roadside, fired at them. M. Gentili was killed on the spot, and Pascal Poli was injured so seriously that he died later in the day. Lecca allowed himself to be arrested. At almost the same hour, in another part of the island, Paul Poii, the cause of all the trouble'll was fired at, presumably by another member of the Lecca. faxsrffy. The shot, however, went wide.

SEQUEL TO A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. At the London Bankruptcy-court, yesterday, before Mr. Register Brougham, the public examination took place of F. Noakes, of Park- road, West Dulwich, who attributed his insolvency to a verdict with EI,000 damages having been obtained against him in an action for breach of promise of marriage brought by Alice Elizabeth Collins, of Avon- more-road, West Kensington. The debtor was lately employed as manager for a. firm of house furnishers at Stratford, and his accounts showed liabilities £1,400 Os. 3d., of which £1,146 7s. 9d. were stated to be un- secured, and as-sets Ell 10s. The action of Miss Collins was recently tried, and the debtor stated that he did not defend it.—The examination was closed.

I DEATH OF MR. WHISTLER Mr. Whistler, the distinguished artist, died yesterday afternoon at Chelsea. James M'Neill Whistler, besides being one of the most famous painters of his time (his works including the portrait of Carlyle, the portrait of his mother, which hangs in the Luxembourg Gallery in Paris, and numberless beautiful drawings, etchings, and lithographs of London and the Thames;, was also one of the most noted humourists of the period. His I book on "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies" (an art which, with his sharp tongue, he understood very well) is a most amusing record of the quarels of a man of genius. Mr. Whistler was born in 1834. and was by birth an American. For a good many years past I he had lived in Paris, but latterly he has been back in Chelsea, where he made his fame.

A ROMANTIC STORY Miss Anna Head, a well-known California heiress, is shortly to be married to Mr. Arthur Jephson in London. The story of the engagement is quite romantic. Ten years ago the young couple wished to marry, but Mr. Head vetoed the match. He refused to settle any sum upon his daughter unless she ma.r- ried someone with a title. Mr. Head died, recently, and the marriage is to take place! almost immediately. J

A GAMBLING HELL Clever Raid by London Police. i PROPRIETOR ESCAPES BY A LADDER ON TO ROOF At Marlborough street Police court, London, yesterday, Frederick Finson, German, door keeper. Easton buildings; Frederick Double, labourer, Carnaby- street, ,Yo Adolph Silverstein. dealer and croupier, of New York State, and staying at Guildford-street; and Daniel Moore, clerk, Leigh ton-road, Kentish Town, surrendered to their bail to answer the accusation of keep- ing a common gaming-house in a second-floor room at Hanway-etreet, Oxford-street. Twenty- eight other men, foreign and English, were charged with being found on the premisee. The raid was conducted by Superintendent Bantick, Chief-inspector Derby, Detective- inspector Kane, and other officers of D Divi- sion, at two o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst., the proprietor (who has not yet been arrested) escaping, apparently by ladder on to the roof. A "scramble" ensued, great resistance being offered to the entrance of the police by Finson and Double, who were at the door-a. "swing" door, opening inward. The club-room, which contained all the evidences of a game of faro in progress when the raid was made, was small. The windows were battened, parted over with brown paper, and heavily curtained. It was very hot—"worse than a Turkish bath," as the superintendent remarked. Some of the prisoners had concealed considerable sums of money In their socks. Two of the frequenters did not appear to- day, and warrants for their arrest were granted. Mr. Muskett now said that Silverstein had been seen to act as croupier at the club, and Moore as banker or croupier. Achille Yercisi, charged last week as a principal, would now only stand with the frequenters, as there was no particular charge to be brought against him. Superintendent Bantick (re-called) said that the resistance of Finson and Double to the entry of the police was conaiderable.-Detec- tive-inspector Kane corroborated. Detective-sergeant Elliott gave evidence of having obtained admission to the "club" on several nights at the beginning of July. Faro was played up till about five o'clock each morning, the stakes ranging from Is. to 20s. Forty-two men were there one night, and on another occasion there were 35. Finson one night, apparently referring to Silverstein, re- marked, "We can't get any money while these Jewe are at the bank. (Laughter.) Mr. Denman: He meant the Jews always got the best of the gambling. (Laughter.) Continuing his evidence, the Sergeant added that there were drinks, whisky and soda cost- ing 6d. Moore acted as croupier on two occa- sions. The prisoners pleaded not guilty, Mr. Tonkin pointing out that Double could not take part in the club affairs, as he was one of the "redskins"—(laughter)—at the Hippodrome, and was in two performances every day there. Mr. Denman: Perhaps he practised for the Indian climate by "bunging" up the windows of the club. (Laughter.) Mr. Denman characterised the place as of: the lowest and worst description, and fined Finson X50, or three months' hard labour, Silverstein and Moore R25 or two months each, and Double S,10 or six weeks, remarking that if the proprietor had been before the court he would have been severely dealt with The frequenters were bound over in £10 not to haunt such places for twelve months.

NEWPORT GENTLEMAN Appointed Commercial Agent II for New South Wales. Mr. C. C. Lance, the commercial agent in London for the Government of New South Wales, paid a flying visit of a few hours to Cardiff, yesterday. Mr. Lance is a Newport boy, and the son of the late Rev. J. W. Lance, a well-known Baptist minister of that town, but has lived in Sydney for about twelve years. His appointment is a new one, made by his Government with a. view to bringing the produce of the Colony more prominently before British merchants and obtaining information as to the best methods of packing, &c., for the English market. Having been in England now for about a year, he has visited a large number of provincial towns, and will pay a longer viait to Cardiff in a few months. Mr. Lance, who was much struck with the up-to-date methods and the size of Cardiff docks, considers that Cardiff is bound to grow into a large centre for the distribution of Colonial produce. Mr. Seddon, he added, had recognised this in his proposal to estab- lish one of his meat shops in Cardiff. He (Mr. Lance) hoped to introduce to Cardiff New South Wales timber for wood paving, and he thought there was, undoubtedly, an opening for the frozen meat trade in the town. Mr. Lance would say little in regard to the proposed fiscal reform. But he remarked that the Colonies did not want to exploit Great Britain. They simply wanted a scheme which would be to the interests of both the Mother Country and the Colonies.

MINERS FEDERATION AND FREE LABOUR Referring to the case of nearly 400 Welsh colliers, who were proceeded against for refu- sing to descend the Universal Colliery Com- pany's pits at Aber, unless a few non-nnionau joined the Federation, and were fined £ 2 and costs each man, a ik)rreepondent of the "Globe" writes to say that, unfortunately, many of the colliery owners in that part of the United Kingdom have allowed similar practices to remain unchecked, with the con- sequence that non-unionist workmen had either to submit to become unwilling mem- bers of the Miners' Federation or seek work at pits whose owners might be relied upon to see fairplay. Naturally, he observes, the number of such workmen has greatly dwindled; but it only needs such action as the above taken in every case of the kind that occurs, to clearly show that very many of the colliers in South Walesjprefer being free from the Federation, and relieved from the heavy deductions from their wages which member. ship of the Federation involves.

I THEFT OF A YACHT M. Antoine Vidal possessed a beautiful sail- ing yacht, the Etincelle, which was moored in the Vieux Port, Marseilles. A sailor had charge of the boat, which he boarded every day to see that all was right. On Thursday, however, when he went to pay his daily visit, great was his aetcnishment to find that the yacht had disappeared. It turned out that she had left the port that morning—stolen. Some Customs officers and pilots saw her leave, but thought that her proprietor was on board. The coast is now being scoured for the stolen yacht.

THE ANTHRACITE TRUST. I Success of the Negotiations at Swansea. Those in the know in connection with the South Wales anthracite amalgamation scheme were able to say definitely on Friday that the promoters have now agreed on a basis, seemingly satisfactory to both parties, as to the prices for a large proportion of the best selected collipries, aad sre proceeding to pay option moneys and complete the first batch of contracts forthwith. Things are now sufficiently advanced to ensure the cer- tain success of the scheme. Reports from foreign markets also eeem to indicate that when the operations of the syndicate are coi-npleted they will be' in possession not only of the anthracite mines, but will have firm control of every available market.

THE GOLD DUST CASE I The further hearing of the charge against the two men, David Weinetono, 41, a Rou- manian, and Roeea Soulman, 61, a Russian, of attempting to obtain a sum of £ 2,825 from Frederick Wensley, by false pretences, And with intent to defraud, was proceeded with yesterday at Worship-street Polioe-oourt, Lon- don. The charge, it will be remembered, was one of substituting brass filings for gold dust, which it was represented had been obtained from the mines in Siberia by convicts, and stolen afterwards by "a high Russian official." After further evidence had been called, Mr. Williamson said he had evidence as to other attempted sales of these filings, but nothing had been obtained. Mr. Cluer thought that would not carry the present charge further, and was not wanted in so strong a case. The defence waa reserved, and the prisoners committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

HIGHWAYMEN IN BELGIUM I As the mail coach from Wortegem to Aude- narde wajs approaching the hamlet of Yolden- ken, it was attacked by three robbers. One stopped the two horses, and the others 'attacked th econductor, whom they tried to pull from his box. The conductor, however, was a man of great strength, and defended himself with energy. He whipped his horses, and got away from the robbers. During the straggle a window of the coach was broken, and, a woman who was aside was injured by the flying glass. The thieves, who took to fight, are well known. Their aim was to steal the sack of letters. Gendarmes are now search- I ing for them.

There were several charges, and on some of them the prisoner was committed for extradition.

A SLEEPER'S SURPRISE Mr. Maurice Goidine, watchmaker, of 216, Walwonth-road, London, S.E., had an exciting experience yesterday morning. He was alone in the house, his wife and family being away on holiday, and when he retired to rest for the night everything appeared; safe. At half-past three he received a. rude awakening. A boy, passing the shop, noticed; a fire, anfl with commendäble thoughtfnlness decided to arouse the inmates of the house. This he did by throwing through the second-floor win- dow a stone, which happened to hit the solitary occupant of the room, who at first thought a tile had fallen from the roof. Once roused, however, he quickly got out of the house. The Kennington firemen were called, and with one hydrant put out the fire, after severe damage had been caused to the shop and its contents.

I CARDINAL VAUGHAN'S WILL The "Tablet" states that the three execu- tors appointed under the will of the late Cardinal Yaughan, which consisted of about three lines, are his brother, the Right Rev. Mgr. Vaughan, the Very Bev. Father Henry, rector bf St. Joseph's College, Mill-hill, and the Very Rey. Mgr. Canon Dunn.

I A BLOW AND BLOOD POISONING A young man named Andrew Connors died in the Kanturk (Cork) Workhouse Hospital under peculiar circumstances yesterday morn- ing. A few days Ago he qaa-rrellod with an- other man named 1/ane, who, it is alleged, struck Connors in the mouth. An old tooth was loosened, and the jaw becoming swollen and inflamed erysipelas and blood-poisoning supervened. Lane has been arrested and charged with homicide.

THE RAMSGATE MURDERER Henson, the Ramsgate murderer, has been in a. depressed state since his conviction. The wound which he inflicted upon his neck in his attempt to commit suicide has not yet heaied. The prison surgeon will, it is stated, make a report to the Home Secretary concerning the injury, with the view to the fixing of the date of execution.

100 SOVEREIGNS I » "i For the Best Selected Paragraph. AN EASY COMPETITION OPEN TO ALL. Two of the most interesting features in the "Evening Express" are the "Mainly About People" column on Page 2 and the column "For Women Folk" on Page 4. The proprietors of the "Evening Express" invite its readers to carefully read those columns during the months of July, August, and September, 1903. To the reader who sends to office, on or before October 7, 1903. the most interesting paragraph which appearb in either of those columns during the period named, together with sixty of the daily cocpons which appear in the "Evening i Express" during the three months, the proprietors will give a cash prize of £ 100. During the three months 79 coupons will appear, but it will only be necessary that readers should send in 60 (of different dates) with each paragraph they select for the competition. With the paragraph and the coupons, competitors will, of course, send their names and addresses clearly written. The prize of X100 will be awarded by the Editor, whose decision shall be final. If two or more competitors select the paragraph which is adjudged the most interesting the prize will be equally divided.

I SPORT OF THE DAY. Sir S. Scott has given the name of Scalla- dale to his two-year-old filly by, Maxtagou- Ardvourlie. Quintessence, the winner of the One Thou- sand Guineas, is suffering from muscular rheumatism. Encombe, owned by Mr. F. Gardner, has arrived at Lambourn from France, to be trained for future engagements by J. F. HaJlick. Mr. L. de Rothschild's disappointing four- year-old colt Pom Pom, by Carbine-Queen of the Riding, has been turned out of training, and has left Hayhoe's stables at Newmarket for the stud-farm at Leighton Buzzard. Mr. John Arnull, the trainer, who was for some time at Lewes, quite recently went out to South Africa, and has quickly settled down there. At the last Durban meeting he won, three races for the Hon. Frank White. It is the intention of the Stewards of the Jockey Club to remodel the programme of each of the July meetings, and the Princess of Wales's Stakes will either disappear altogether or not be retained in its present form. The rumour that the Prince of Wales, says the uSt. James's Gazette," has a disposition to establish a stud of racehorses, lends addi- tional interest to his visit to Tregothnan, Lord Falmouth's beautiful Cornish home. It was the favourite residence of his father, the eixth viscount, who was for many years one of the most notable figures ever associated with racing. He possessed the finest horses that could be bred, and he ran them for the love of seeing one good' horse matched against another. It was as jockey for Lord Falmouth tha,t Archer made his name, winning many of his greatest races on his lordship's horses. Lord Falmouth did not like the way his horse Galliard ran in the Derby of 1884, so sold off his stud; for which he received 110,000 guineas. He won C300,000 in stakes. The present Lord Falmouth inherits his father's love of race- horses, but not to so great an extent. He is a more than ordinarily useful member of the Jockey Club.

I CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE KING OF PORTUGAL I The "Cologrne Gazette hears from Lisbon I that, notwithstanding semi-official denials, it j is a fact that a widespread conspiracy against the Royal House of Portugal has been dis- covered, the prime instigators being superior officers who were cashiered some time ago. Shortly after the assassination of King Alex- ander of Servia, suspicious doings were observed among1 the military, and a midnight gathering in mufti of olheers and non-com- missioned officers of the 5th Infantry Regiment was closely watched. by detectives. All these officers were arrested r.t their next meeting' and imprisoned. The officers will be court- martialled. In other regimeDta aleo signs of j ferment a.ra cotioad.

jCYCLING & MOTORING -———— ————— Notes on the Sport and Pastime. PRACTICAL PARS FOR PEDALLERS. The Carmarthenshire Standing Joint Com- mittee were informed at their last meeting that Superintendent Picton Phillips (Llanelly) had purchased a motor-car, which would enable him to visit his stations more fre- quently. This is good news for local auto- carists. It would be a grand thing if every superintendent could be induced to go and do likewise. Mr. George Ace, of Tenby, was probably the only resident of Wales who held an official position in the Gordon-Bennett Cup contest. Mr. Ace, with other officials, had charge of the controls at Strad Bally. Mr. Ace returned from Ireland at the begin- ning of the week, in company with Mr. G. Williams, of collier tyre fame, on the latter's fine car. The journey back was made via Wat-erfoird and New Milford, and on Tuesday they had a fine run from Tenby to Cardiff, en route to London. Mr. Ace was kind enough to favour me with his views on the race. Although admitting that Edge's tyes caused the English rider much delay, he joins issue with those who assert that had it not been for tyre troubles the Englishman would have won. Edge's car, good as it was, was not in every way such a success for the work required of it as the cars driven by at least two of the other competi- tors. At times Mr. Edge's car appeared to be behaving badly, judging by the appearance of a steaming radiator a couple of times during the race. Jenatzy, "the immovable," as Mr. Ace describes him, never spoke unless he was absolutely bound to, and never moved from his seat whilst passing through the controls. His general attire was in keeping with the man, and his old tarpaulin hat was quite a contrast to the spick-and-span cheery Frenchman, De Knyff, who became a, great favourite with all the Britishers. In fact, when it was seen that the British cars were out of the race, almost everyone hoped that the popular and plucky De Knyff would win. Bert Andrews, of Carmarthen, is the holder of the 25-miles amateur championship. This event, it will be remembered, he won very cleverly at the championship meeting at Pontypridd last season. I am, however, afraid that his form at present is not equal to retaining the race. At times last Satur- day, in the contest for the Muratti Cup at Manchester, he gave now and again glimpses of his famous "forcing tactics," but he will have to ride against men of great speed powers next Saturday. Benyon is tipped in several quarters as the likely winner, but at this distance there are quite a large number of clever and fast aspirants. The Carmarthen Sports Syndicate are hold- ing a two-days' meeting in August. Both amateurs and professionals are to be catered for, and the total value of the prizes reaches nearly £ 320. The committee are giving the cash riders another trial, and this time, looking at the excellent racing provided by the professors in other parts of Wales this season, I have every confidence that the cash riders will make up for the sorry display given at Carmarthen a couple of seasons ago. So we are to have another up-to-da.te cycle track. The classic Stradey Park at Llanelly has been taken over by a syndicate, thanks to the energy of Mr. Fred L. Rees, the Llanelly cricketer and stockbroker, and by next season it is hoped that a new cycle track on the ground will be ready for racing purposes. Llanelly some time ago had a decent racing path at Half-way, but, probably owing to its distance from the town, it was never a great success jn the way of drawing good gates." In their respective classes, viz., amateur and professional, C. B. Baker, of Carmarthen, and Tom James, of Mountain Ash, stand head and shoulders above their many rivals. Answers to Correspondents. J. W. Wheeler (Cardiff).—The Gordon-Bennett Cup will, according to the conditions that govern the contests, take place next year in Germany. B. W. Pring (Pembroke Dock).—The tyre you name is of the single tube variety; don't try it, unless you wish for continual tyre troubles. L. T. Evans (Pontypridd A.C.).—Many thanks. Gla-d to see that you were successful. "A. T. S." (Newport).—Will try to hunt the information up for you. J. T. Walsh (St. David's C.C.).-Than-ho for appreciation of this column.

NEW ZEALAND LAMB. I London Writer and Cardiff Dealers. A London writer having made a statement to the effect that New Zealand lamb was being sold cheaply to Cardiff dealers so as to anticipate any action the New Zealand Government might take in opening shops for the eale of New Zealand mutton in the town, one of our representatives made inquiries on the subject. He was informed that New Zea- land mutton and lamb was not being sold cheaply relatively to River Plate meat. River Plate mutton and lamb was cheaper because it was discharged direct from the ship at the port, but most of the New Zealand mutton came by rail from London. Owing to the higher price of New Zealand produce, the Argentine was favoured so far as South Wales was concerned. The local importers of Ar- gentine produce had no fear of Mr. Seddon's competition, believing that they can sell more cheaply than the Colonial Government. With regard to the statement that New Zea- land mutton was being sold at a specially low price to customers who buy River Plate mut- ton, the suggestion was laughed at. "If we feared New Zealand competition," said one gentleman, "we should not sell New Zealand lamb cheap. We should prefer to keep our customers to Argentine produce. Why should we starve ourselves of our profit to intro- duce New Zealand lamb at the same price as Argentine?"

I BRITISH CREW MASSACRED According to advices from Matupi, the cap- tain, named Howard, and the entire crew of a British vessel have been killed by natives of the Admiralty Islands, in the Bismarck Archipelago, South Pacific.

LONG FIRM SWINDLERS SENTENCED At Newington Sessions, London, yesterday Albert Davis, a merchant, and George James Rolfe, an engineer, were sentenced for obtaining in pursuance of a conspiracy various goods by faJse pretences. Prisoners, it was stated, occupied offices at Staraford- street, and carried on business as Davis and Co., dealers in goods on the Times system of payments. They ordered goods to the value of more than C500. All the wholesale firms received was ZZ5. Davis was sentenced to 18 months', and Rolfe to nine months' hard labour.

DIPHTHERIA AT TRELLECH. Sir Henry Jackson and the Doctors. Mr. Bosanqnet presided at the monthly meeting of the Monmouth Rural District Coun- cil yesterday. The acting medical officer sent a re- port dealing with the outbreak 01" diph- theria. at Trelleck, which was considered at the last meeting. The report said that no further spread had taken place, and gave a detailed account of the circum- stances. A surgeon frmntinteru was called to some children living in three adjacent cottages. He reported two of the cases as diphtheria at once, imt afterwards sent a report that the disease was not diphtheria. In the meantime the disease spread, three children died, and in one of the cases the disease was said to be quinsy. Sir H. Jackson spoke in strong terms of the manner in which the outbreak had been met by the doctors, and expressed the opinion that some of the deaths might have been prevented. Medical practitioners, he said, who neglected to report infections diseases were liable. A resolution was carried ordering the report of the acting medical officer to be sent to the Local Government Board.

I THE LONDON COLISEUM. MrOswald Stoil's New Enterprise Th M The "Morning Advertiser says: For some time past the plans of this new theatre have been before the London County Council, and they are now accepted. Exactly how the entertainment which is to be given at the Coliseum will be described on the advertise- ments, it is not easy to see, for the English language has no word to fit a performance which lies somewhere between a Drury Lane drama, an Earl's Court or Olympian spec- tacle, and a music-hall show. But this and more is what we are promised at the Coliseum. For weeks pass the passer-by along St. Mar- tin's-lane has found the greater part of one side of the street in the hands of the house- breaker, and from force of habit, and in spite of notice boards to the contrary, probably imagined it to be some outlying portion of the Holborn to Strand improvement. It is the site for the Coliseum, but the devasta- tion in St. Martin's-lane gives hardly any idea of the clearance which is going on. The square, about an acre in extent, enclosed by St. Martin's-lane, Chandos'-street, Bedford- bury, and the roadway of May'e-buildings, is now almost cleared away. It will be a splen- did position when finished, for the roadway" of May's-buildings is to be enlarged into a serviceable street 25ft. in width. Standing just by the corner of Chandos-street and St. Mar- tin's-lane the new building will be a decided addition to Trafalgar-square. The facade is to be built in Italian Renaissance style. Part of the structure will be carried up into a lofty tower, which is to be surmounted by a large revolving globe. This globe will form the most prominent external feature of the build- ing. It is not only to revolve, but it is to be illuminated, and will carry the word "Coli- seum" writ large for as much of the world as possible to see. Standing within sight of, if not actually in, what is at the same time the finest and the ugliest public square in Europe, the Coliseum will help to break the oppressive weight of the National Gallery and St. Martin's Church. How Nelson's Column will look silhouetted against an illuminated revolving light is another matter. But it is inside that the Coliseum is to achieve its great wonders. The projected arrangements sound more like a club than a place of public entertainment. There are to be coffee-rooms and smoking-rooms and writing-rooms, tele- phones and typewriters, and a special and complete suite of rooms and boudoirs for ladies and children. It will be a veritable Utopia for the country visitor. In fact, the country visitor and ladies and children will be the especial care of the management." ']

I BACTERIA IN BATHS The annual congress of the Royal Institute of Public Health was continued yesterday at Liverpool. In the bacteriological section a discussion took place regarding the water of swimming baths. Dr. Glynn, of Liverpool, said investigations showed clearly that the clear water in the baths at the beginning of each day contained comparatively few bacteria, and that first-class bathe contained fewer than second class. Salt water baths contained fewer than fresh water, partly because the bacteria introduced from the skin of the bathers multiplied less rapidly in salt water than in fresh. In a first class bath with a capacity of 70,000 gallons there was removed from the skin and hair of each bather in about ten minutes, approximately, 4,000,000,000 bacteria, and 6,000.000,000 in second- class, where the bathers were mostly small bogr* with dlrtr skins. j

WELSH TINPLATE TRADE At an executive meeting in connection with the Welsh tin-plate trade it has been decided, in view of the future conferences with the men, to confirm the attitude of the' employers with respect to Canada-s and doubles, viz.. payment on area. pure and simple.

IMMENSE CAPTURE OF MUSIC One of the biggest seizures of alleged pira.ted music was reported to the Worship- street Police-court, London, yesterday after- noon, nearly 27,000 copies of musical publica- tions being taken under orders obtained by Mr. Margetts, solicitor, on behalf of the Musi- cal Copyright Association. One seizure was made in Pear Tree-street, St. Luke's, where 2,000 copies were found in a shed. The chief seizure of 24,800 copies were made in Fuller- street, BethnaJ Green. No owner appeared to claim the goods in either case.

I "THAT TIRED, J FEELwr Jyt l I "Dead tired" Fagged out 11 Run-down." Those are common expressions just; now. In some it is due to overdoing; in others to womanly weakness. It is a kind of tiredness which-, mere rest refuses to relieve; a dull languid sensation that causes one to lose ap- petite, and grow weary and worried. ^To overcome these feelings, the nerves must be strengthened or toned up, and this is quick- ly and safely accomplished I by a course of Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets, which are unequalled for restoring that vigour and vitality which is the sign of robust health.
