TRUST MONEY. I Serious Charge Against a Solicitor. A WELSH GENTLEMAN'S SINGULAR STATEMENT. At Bow-street Police-court, on Saturday (before Sir Albert De Rutzen), William Henry Miles Booty, solicitor, of Gray's Inn and Gos- pel Oak, was charged, on remand, with the misappropriation of trust funds. In further support of the case, in which the accused is charged with converting to his own use £ 8,500 belonging to the Vicomtesse de Bre- mond, the Rev. Francis Clyde Harvey, Vicar of Hailsham, Sussex, was called. He said he was a grandson of Mr. Sheppard, by whom the money in question was bequeathed, and one of the trustees under his will. The sum left by Mr. Sheppard to his granddaughter was L10,000, and it was originally in Consols, but, on the suggestion of the vicomtesse, it was placed on mortgage at 4 per cent. After some time the prisoner wrote to say that the mortgage was about to be paid off, and sug- gesting another; but witness instructed him to invest the money in 3J per cent. India Stock. He promised to do so, but, after con- siderable correspondence, he wrote to say there had been some delay, as the money which was to pay off the mortgage was in Chancery. After this witness went to pri- soner's office, and heard that about L8,000 of the money had been received, and he, there- fore, wrote again giving instructions for its investment. A little later on he again called at Booty and Bayliff's office, and the prisoner then said, "Mr. Harvey, I cannot pay you the money." He also stated that altogether he had received £ 8,500 belonging to the De Bre- mond trust, the affairs of which were then placed in the hands of another firm of solici- citors. At the request of the defence, Mr. Howard Bentley, of Orielton-hall, Barmouth, was re- called to speak as to the circumstances in which, he signed a mortgage deed for EZOXJ, he having stated that he was induced to do so by the prisoner without knowing what the document was. In reply to Mr. Campbell, he now stated that on the 10th of Decem- ber last he called upon the prisoner, with whom he had previously had many dealings, and said he wanted some money for his business. Prisoner asked him to call again the following day, and when he did so prisoner requested him to sign a docu- ment. He asked what it was, and prisoner explained that the auditors were at that moment examining his accounts, and that he wanted to have something to show them that witness owed him 130,000. Witness knew he owed the prisoner a large sum of money, but he was not satisfied with this, and he, there- fore, said he did not care about signing the document without reading it. He believed the document was then brought into the room by a clerk (Mr. Willoughby), and witness signed it. He only read three or four lines, as prisoner said the auditors were waiting. Had witness known that the document was a mort- gage for L20,000, he would not have signed it. This was the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Campbell submitted that on the charge against the prisoner of misappropriating £ 5,C00 belonging to Sir Charles and Lady Brooke, there was no case to go to a jury. Sir Albert De Rutzen said he had made up his mind that prisoner must go for trial on all three charges. Mr. Campbell then called as a witness Henry Willoughby, late general clerk to the prisoner's firm, who said he was present when Mr. Bentley signed the mortgage on December 11. Mr. Bentley appeared to read the document right through, and he was not hurried in any way bt Mr. Booty. A further remand was ordered, Mr. Camp- bell remarking that Mr. Booty, who wished to make a statement, was feeling unwell.

AN IMPULSIVE BUTLER Mr. Joseph Pollard, the well-known surgeon, of 51, Queen Anne-etreet, Cavendish-square, appeared at Marylebone Police-court, London, on Saturday to prosecute his late botler, Percy Clifford Rayment, aged 45, for stealing a pair of gold and turquoise sleeve-links and a. pearl and. di-mond stud, worth LIS. The Prosecritor paid the prisoner had been in his service a fortnight. On the 1st inst. the prisoner got his master's bedroom ready for him to drees, and when Mr. Pollard after- wards wenito his room he missed hie sleeve- links and stud. That same evening the pri- soner absconded. Detective Dyer, D Division, arrested the pri- soner near Lavender Hill on Friday night. When told the charge the prisoner said, "Quite right, I did it on the impulse of the moment." As there was a probability of the property being recovered the prisoner was remanded.

BROTHER-IN-LAW'S INTRODUCTION John Gleeson, a labourer, living at 25, St. Olaf's-road, Fulham, was summoned at West London on Saturday for assaulting John Saunders, giving an address at Walthamstow. The Complainant said he was returning from his wife's funeral, and chanced to go into a public-house. There he saw the defendant, who up to that time was a stranger to him. The defendant began discussing his late wife's private affairs, and witness requested him to mind his own business, whereupon the defen- dant dealt him a blow in the mouth, knocking out two teeth, and kicked him in the stomach. He had since learned that the defendant was his brother-in-law. The Magistrate: Didn't you know your own brother-in-law? The Complainant: No, air. My wife and I had not lived together for some years, and I have not met her family. The defendant alleged that he was talking quite inoffensively about family affairs, and the complainant lost his temper, and he (defendant), seeing from his eye that he was going to hit him, he struck out first. The Magistrate: Don't be so ready to draw conclusions from a man's eye in future. It was an outrageous assault, and you must pay 40s„ with 10s. 6d. costs.

THE STRANGEST ANIMAL IN THE WORLD. The strangest known animal and the most useful vegetable product were both discovered in Australia. The strangest animal is the duck billed platypus, which has the body of an otter, the head of a duck, four legs like a quadruped, feet like a swan, and claws like a cat. The most useful vegetable product is the particular substance discovered by Chas. Forde, which forms the chief ingredient in the now world-famed medicine—bile beans. After exhaustive research, Chas. Forde dis- covered this substance and found that it acted so beneficially upon the liver and digestive system as to be a specific for all liver and stomach ailments. When it is borne in mind that such every-day ailments as headache, constipation, piles, indigestion, wind. biliousness, and a host of others may all be traced primarily to liver disorder, and that the liver is the largest and most important organ in the body, it may easily be seen how valuable was the Australian scientist's discovery, and how innumerable the persons who may benefit from it. Chas. Forde's famous remedy does not merely purge and give temporary relief, which leaves the patient weaker-ag is the case with the out- of-date so-called remedies of forty or fifty years ago, which contain probably aloes, mercury, and other harmful drugs. Bile beans are purely vegetable, and act directly upon the liver and digestive organs, strengthening and stimulating them to perform their natural duties. Do not be misled by claims of half-ar hundred pills in the box, where probably four to six constitute one dose, and which once commenced with necessitate continu- ance. Bile beans can be discontinued after the cure is effected; they are purely vege- table; they contain no harmful drugs, and they are the safest family medicine. Their great success has promoted some unscrupu- lous dealers to offer worthless if not actually harmful substitutes. For your own safety, you are warned to see the two words bile beans, together with the name of the dis- coverer, Chas. Forde. Cut out this paragraph, write across it the name of this paper, and post it with a penny stamp (to pay return postage) to the Bile Bean Oo's. Central Depot. Leeds. You will then receive a free sample box of this great vegetable specific. e9550

Next Sunday the battery will journey to New- port by special train in order to join the headquarter battery in a Church parade.

CARGO OF COAL ON FIRE Halifax (Nova Scotia), Monday.—A serious fire broke out in the cargo of a large coal barge here to-day. It was extinguished mainly through the efforts of 50 seamen detailed for the purpose from the German warship Vineta. The warship's pump sent effective streams of water into the barge's hold. The Halifax fire- men were much surprised to see the German seamen, clothed in suites of asbestos, descend unharmed into the smoke and flames. The seamen were kept supplied with air by pumps similar to those used in diving appara-ti.- Reuter.

MORE AMERICAN LYNCHING New York, Monday Morning.—A dispatch published here to-day states that a mob of 50 unmasked men entered the town of Basin, in Wyoming, yesterday, and with a variety of implements battered down the-doors of the gaol. They killed Mr. Pierce, the deputy- sheriff, who sought to restrain them, and then shot dead James Gorman and a man named Walters, who were under arrest, in the gaol on charges of murder. Both men were killed in their cells. The mob feeling in the district runs very high, and other lynch- ings are believed to be imminent. It is feared that sanguinary fights will ensue.- Central News.

SPORT OF THE DAY I Sam Loates has received a licence to train at Newmarket. Sam Darling holds to the opinion that Ard Patrick is a better colt than Galtee More ever was. Latest reports from the Caterham Cottage Hoepital are to the effect that both Maher and the chauffeur who was injured with him are progressing favourably. It will, however, be some time before Maher will he able to ride again. One of the best tributes paid to Otto Madden on his riding of Ard Patrick in the Eclipse Stakes came from Sam Loates, who stood on the trainers' stand-as is now his right. "I don't know," said Sam, "that we are par- ticular friends, but I never aaw Otto ride a more brilliant race, or, for the matter of that, anybody else." Notwithstanding the fact of Ard Patrick placing two "ten-thoosand-pounders" to his credit in succession, Sceptre still holds the record for having won most money of the leading trio in the Eclipse Stakes. The filly has secured nine races, and in stakes 28,113 novs.; Ard Patrick six races, and 26,616 sovs.; and Bock Sand ten races, and 21,124 sovs. In the course of its sixteen anniversaries a Derby winner has taken the spoils in the Eclipse Stakes on six occasions, but, whereas Ayrshire, Isinglass, Persimmon, and Ard Patrick were fottr years old, the junior successes have been confined to Flying Fox and Diamond Jubilee in the successive seasons of 1899 and 1900. Only by one horse has the race been won twice-by Orme as a three and a four year old. Prior to the decision of the Eclipse Stakes, Sir James Miller held the premier position in the list of winning owners, with an aggregate of £ 15,892, being upwards of L4,000 in front of the next on the list-Mr. Leopold de Rothschild (LII,032 10s.). The success of Ard Patrick has entirely altered the complexion of affairs, for his owner (Mr. John Gubbina) has come with a bound from the sixth position to the head of the list with a total of E16,750.

A RAILWAY HERO I The funeral of Rigby, the stoker of the ill-fatal express at Waterloo, took place yes- terday afternoon dot Southport amid the pro- found sympathy of the populace. Nearly 400 railway men were in the procession, and great crowds lined the route. The service at the graveside was deeply affecting, and many were moved to tears. The Rev. Dr. Porter said that to the young man's presence of mind in putting on the brake many pas- sengers owed their lives, and to that that day they were burying a hero. He appealed to the railway directors to run less trains on Sun- days.

Fieldman," asking that LI,900 odd might be vested in the Trustee of Charities. Mr. Justice Swinfen Eady made the order,, remarking on the age of the case.

FOR WOMEN FOLK. L w 11 Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. A hop-bag wrung from hot vinegar is a. quick relief for ear ache. Don't romp with babies-it excites the brain too much. Don't forget to give babies cool water often —it is the only thing to quench thirst and ward off fever. When you wash your face, use water as hot as can be borne, dabbing the face with it, or applying it with hot compreasetr-tha t is, thick folds of cloth. In putting powder on the face, do not use a powder-puff that has been employed to mop the face time out of mind, but take a piece of absorbent cotton or a piece of cheese-cloth, which can be thrown agide after use. Savoury Cabbage Ingredients: One cabbage, pepper, salt, a large lump of butter, two ounces of grated cheese. Cook the cabbage till it is perfectiyl done, drain from it as much water as pos- sible. Chop the cabbage finely, and season with butter, pepper, and salt. Place in a. pie- dish, and scatter a good layer of grated cheese over; bake ten minutes, and serve hot. How to Make Chocolate I Ingredients: Four ounces of cake chocolate, two gills of water, one pint of milk. Scrape up the chocolate into a saucepan with the two gills of water; set it on the fire; stir it con- stantly with a wooden spoon until it is rather thick, then work it very quickly with the spoon. Stir in it a pint of boiling milk by degrees and serve. St. John's Pudding Ingredients-A penny roll, three sponge cakes, a quarter of a, pound of ratafias, a. little butter, two tablespoonfuls of pounded almonds, four tablesjH/onfuls of caster sugar, two eggs, and a. few dried cherries. Method- Soak the crumb of the roll, the sponge-cakes, and ratafias in hot milk until quite soft; then beat them up and add a. small piece of butter; mix in the almonds, sugar, and moisten it with the eggs beaten up. Butter a. mould, lay a few cherries and a little angelica at the bottom, put in the mixture, press it well in, cover it with buttered paper, and steam for an hour. Turn it out and serve hot. Costr- about one shilling and twopenoe.Family Herald." A Pretty Hint A beyond-seas hostess has invented a pretty way of hushing the chatter that will arise at e-very musicale or private concert wherever the class of people known as well bred are ecrgregated. In London society inclines to tatmg ita music more seriously than the Americans. At the musicale in question the hosten gave a plain yet entirely charming hint that she wanted would-be chatterers to listen to the music by having the word "Silence" inscribed jn small pink blossoms across some tall mirrors which faced the audience. Among the performers were MM. Planoon and Salignac and Mme. Fritzi Scheff, and, having paid a pretty penny to get them there, the hostess had no mind to have the blilliancy of her programme nullified by a coptinuous undercurrent of gossip and flirta- tion. It would be an unquenchable talker in- detd who would not heed a silence sign like that. Strawberry Moulds I Boil one and a half pint of milk with the thinly pared rind of one lemon. When it has boiled, strain out the rind, and add two ounces of castor or lump sugar. Rub one pound of strawberries through a hair-sieve; add the pulp and juice to the milk, also the juice of the lemon. Now dissolve one ounce of French gelatine, or half an ounce of Nelson's or a similar pre- paration in three or four tablespoonfuls of hot water. Boil on the fire to melt it. Remember, if the latter kind of gelatine is used, it requires soaking for an hour in cold water. When the gelatine is melted, strain it to the ingredients; when beginning to set, pour all into small moulds that have been rinsed out with cold water. These will turn out easily when needed, if the mixture is fairly set when poured into the moulds. If the mixture is not a pretty colour, add IL tiny drop of cochineal. Keeping Flowers Fresh 1 Out flowers, though universally employed, are seldom treated as they ought to be, so here are a few hints for those who like to keep their blossoms fresh as long as possible. First of all, they should be put into some large receptacle and sprinkled freely with wa.ter all over. Only after this preliminary operation is it wise to transfer them to the several vessels they are to occupy. They ought to be taken out every morning, sprinkled as on the first day, the tip of the stem then being cut off, and fresh water, flowing smoothly from a tap, should be allowed to run over the stalks, holding the flowers head downward. Finally, and herein lies the principal secret of success, the water in the vases may be "doctored" in this manner:—Mix thoroughly together a tablespoonful of finely shredded yellow soap, enough chloride of sodium to cover a florin, and half a pint of water. Put a portion of this mixture into every receptacle, and fill in the usual way. A pinch of borax in each one will preserve all the colouring of the most brilliant flowers, and, by renewing the supply of the above solution every two or three days, the flowers will last for a couple of weeks or more.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. A Mother Attacked by Her Son. ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MURDER & SUICIDE. What appears to have been a case of attempted murder and suicide occurred at East Dulwich on Saturday night. Mrs. Orford, who is about 60 years of age, keeps the Upland Coffee-house at 21, Upland-road, and soon after eight o'clock on Saturday night a neighbour (Mrs. Jackson) heard screams of "Murder!" and immediately afterwards Mrs. Orford rushed from her house, streaming with blood, i and fell into Mrs. Jackson's arms. When she could speak Mrs. Orford said that her son had attacked her, and had struck her on the head. Mr. Jackson took the poor woman to the sur- gery of Dr. Gardner, when it was found that she had a terrible wound on her head, appa- rently caused by some heavy instrument used with considerable violence. After the wounds were dressed Mrs. Orford was taken home. From her subsequent conversation it appeared that her son called upon her, when she was alone in the coffee-house, with the view of obtaining money from her. This was refused, and he then attacked her; but, being a woman of strong physique, she was able to get away from him and rush out of the house, in spite of the terrible blow she had received. The police were quickly informed of what had occurred, and went to the coffee-house. In a back room they found the son, who is about 25 years of age, lying on the floor with his throat cut, and in an extremely serious con- dition. An ambulance was procured, and the man was taken to the Champion-hill Infir- mary. It is doubtful whether he will recover. Mrs. Orford was yesterday in a serious con- dition.

BRITISH EMPIRE LEAGUE. I The Duke of Devonshire and Preferential Trade. Speaking at the annual meeting of the British Empire League at the Mansion House to-day, the Duke of Devonshire said the ques- tion of preferential tariffs could not be sepa- rated from party and political controversy. He thought it well that we should speak in the plainest possible terms. We were bound to let our Colonies know that this question, which was started as a Colonial question, had become to-day far more a question of inter- national British politics. We were bound to make our Colonies understand that this question had reached a practical stage. It was no longer in a sentimental stage. He did not think much advantage was to be derived from attempting to mix business and sentiment together, nor from attempting to conduct business on purely sentimental grounds. The first question to be considered was the strength and prospects of the centre of the Empire. He was sure our Colonies would not resent this. We should tell our Colonies plainly and clearly that if we were induced to assent to any considerable changes in our commercial and fiscal arrangements, we should do so in our own interest, and not simply for the purpose of conciliation and their goodwill. It was very easy to pass reso- lutions in favour of preferential trade, but not so easy to draw up a scheme which would be fair and just to the United Kingdom, ajtd to each of the Colonies. It could not be doubted that the Colonies would be called on to surrender something of their independence and perfect freedom if a. change in our fiscal relations were made. The ideal of free trade within the Empire was magnificent and splen- did, but we must remember that the Briton and her Colonies approached the question from different points of view.

NATIONAL CYCLTSTS- UNION I At a general committee meeting at the union offices. Chancery-lane, Mr. J. Blair in the chair, the secretary reported that the private membership now exceeded the total membership at the end of 1902. Mr. A. L. Reed was cautioned against looking round in oycle races, his so doing having caused an accident in the one mile championship at Canning Town. It was decided to instruct judges to promptly disqualify any rider who, by. looking round, swerves and interferes with the other competitors. A sub-committee, con- t. igling of MeMI"S. Turner, Britten, and Blair, was appointed to select amateur and profes- sional riders for the world's championships at Copenhagen in August. Attention was oalled to the fact that two gentlemen had recently signed a certificate for a. motor-car road trial as official timekeepers of the N.C.U., but that these gentlemen were not N.C-U. official timekeepers. The secretary was instructed to communicate with all centres, pointing out that no centre hae the power to appoint official timekeepen.

JEALOUS HUSBANDI Disfigures His Wife for Life. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER OFTHREE PERSONS. At North London Police-court, on Satur- day. Frederick Downing, 40, labourer, of Mabley-street, Homerton, was charged, on re- mand (before Mr. Fordham), with attempting to murder his wife, Annie Downing, George Henry Ward, the landlord of the house, and his daughter Jane Ward. It was alleged that the prisoner was jealous of his wife, and that he had made allegations against the landlord (Ward), who is a widower. On the night of the 11th inst. he found the woman at work in Ward's kitchen. He at once procured a re- volver and fired at all the persons named in the charge. Dr. John Hall, of the Hackney Infirmary, said that Mrs. Downing, who was the only per- son hit, would be disfigured for life, the bullet having entered and left her right cheek. The wounds were not dangerous. Annie Downing, the prisoner's wife, said that at midnight on the 11th the prisoner re- turned home, was very abusive to her, and called her bad names. She told him not to interfere with her, and the prisoner remarked, Very well, I have got something upstairs for you-and not for you alone." He went up- stairs, and, returning, he fired at her. She felt that she was struck in the face. She (wit- ness) ran into the garden to arouse Ward. who was asleep on a fohn. As she reached Ward the prisoner put his head out of the kitchen window and fired again in their direction. That shot did not take effect. Ward dodging it. Witness climbed over seve V4 fences, and found her way to the infirmary. George Ward said he was a drover. After he dodged the shot he heard another fired, and rushed into the kitchen. His daughter fell into his arms, and he thought she had been shot, but she had only fainted. Inspector Holloway said he unloaded the revolver. It contained three spent and two live cartridges. These cartridges would kill at twelve yards. Twenty cartridges were found in the prisoner's room. The prisoner now reserved his defence, and was committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial on all three charges.

A ROATH PARK INCIDENT. I LabourerCharged with Assaulting a Little Girl. At Llandaff Police-court this afternoon (before Sir John Gunn and Mr. Philip Turn- bull), Walter Donovan, a labourer, of 96. Keppoch-street, Cardiff, was charged with an offence against Elizabeth Denning, a little girl residing with her parents at 96, Diana- street, Cardiff.-The complainant, a neatly- dressed girl, who gave her age as fourteen said she was in the flower garden at Roatil Park on the afternoon of Sunday week with her little brother, aged six, when defendant told her to pull up her stocking^, which she did. He then accompanied complainant and her brother up along the road to the end of the lake, where he behaved improperly. He said he would give her some money, and told her he would meet her after tea. From the gate of her parents' house she saw him at the top of the street. Witness made no complaint to her mother, and the matter became known because some children saw that which occurred. The girl admitted that she made DO objection to accompanying defendant among the bushes where the incident hap- pened After a long consideration the bench decided to dismiss the case. Addressing Donovan, Sir John Gunn said, "I think it is well that the bench should say to you that you should be ashamed of yourself. It is a dis- grace to humanity that you should take ad- vantage of a child like that. You had zetter take care of yourself in future. Donovan; "I will; sir."

Told in Tabloids. I Mr. Robert J. Fittall, deputy-town-clerk of Derby, waa to-day appointed town-clerk of Devonport. The annual festival of the Pontypridd Church Sunday Schools took place yesterday at the new Town-hall. A fine of P-5 was imposed at Ystrad Police- court this morning upon Ithel Jones, Dumfries, Treherbert, for selling plate on two occasions without a licence. On Saturday a. Newport woman, named Elizabeth Buck, was rescued from drowning in the canal near the Allt-yr-Yn new infec- tious diseases hospital. The members of the Barry branch of the Cardiff, Barry, and Penarth Coaltrimmers' Union have decided not to in the South Glamorgan Labour Representation League. Sir Llewelyn Turner, the yachtsman, hag been lying seriously ill at his residence, Porria, Carnarvonshire, but on Saturday a slight improvement was recorded in his condition. The funeral of the late Dr. Trevor H. Evans, of Whitchurch, took place on Saturday at Radyr. It was of a private character, only the relatives of the deceased being present. The Vicar of Badyr officiated. The last services in the old Unitarian Chapel at Twynyrodin, Merthyr, were held on Sunday, when the Rev. W. Copeland Bowie preached. The handsome new chapel in Thomas-street is to be opened this afternoon. Nelson and District Flying Club flew their third young bird rate from Stafford, 94 miles. Eleven members sent 67 birds. Result:-First, Henry Evans; second, E. Evans; third, D. Davies. Considering the state of the weather, it proved a fair race. George Hawkins, of Hirwain-street, Blaina, Sugaged as a night labourer at No. 2 Griffin Pit, belonging to Messrs. J. Lancaster and Co. (Limited), met with a fatal accident at about four o'clock a.m. on Saturday. He was filling a. tram of rubbish, when a. atone, about 15cwt. in weight, fell upon him. Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, held an inquest at the Plymouth Arms Inn, Merthyr, on Saturday upon the body of Edward Williams, aged 26, a haulier, of 13, Lower Colliers'-row, who was knocked down, run over, and killed by a journey of trams whilst leaving work at the Cwm Pit on the pervious Wednesday.

I TEACHING PATRIOTISM I i A paper devoted to the interests of the scholastio profession has hit upon an idea for teaching patriotism in Belgian schools. It suggests that every teacher should during the reading lesson comment, as is done in schools for adults, on the events in the Congo which led to the heroic death of Lieutenant Lippens and Sergeant de Bruyne. The knowledge of this story of sublime devotion (says the "Journal des Instituteurs") will cause to spring up in the minds of the young senti- ments of the purest patriotism.

SOMALI CAMPAIGN Preparations by General Egerton. THE FORCE TO BE PROPERLY EQUIPPED. The Aden correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says:—Most of the Indian rein- forcements have reached Berbera, and there now remain two companies of the Army Ser- vice Corps to arrive from Durban, and a; company of Sappers from Aden. The latter leaves at the end of the month. It is unlikely that Major-general Sir C. Egerton will start until everything is ready, the reinforcements organised, and the transport and lines of communication properly established. There will be no repetition of the hopeless transport bungle of the last campaign, through defec- tive information regarding the camel supply and through starting while the necessary arrangements were incomplete. Camels continue to arrive. Colonel Yeild- ingl chief transport officer, estimates a wastage of only 200 monthly. His Majesty's gunboat Hussar and the Italian gun-vessel Volturno are co-operating in the suppression of the importation of arms through Baraida. The Somaliland mail gives the present posi- tion as follows: The garrisons at Bohotle, Garrero, and Burao consist of 500 men each, temporarily. The remainder of the troops are at Sheikh and Behendula. General Egerton, his staff, and all the heads of depart- ments are at Sheikh. The following force has been formed: General Manning commands the first brigade and Colonel Fasken the second brigade, while Colonel Swann is in charge of the lines of communication, held by the Bombay Grenadiers and other troops. Efforts are being made with a view to obtaining Italy's consent for the Abyssinians to hold the line of wells from Wardair to Galkayu, while the British force operates in the Nogal valley. It is proposed greatly to increase the strength of the Somali Mounted Infantry. QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT. In the House of Commons to-day, Lord STANLEY, in answer to Mr. Dillon, said the dispatches for Somaliland would be laid on the table at once. The Secretary for War was now in in communication with General Egerton as to future operations. It was impossible to publish a detailed account of the action proposed. It was not possible to calculate the future expenditure, but there were no enterprises involving great expense. Sir WILFRID LAWSON: Is it not possible to tell the country what we are fighting about?

A BARRY ASSAULT. Row Over a Dead Mother's Goods At Barry Police-court to-day (before Mr. C. A. Heywood and Mr. J. Griffith Thomas) Mary Jane Hyatt, 48, Diamond-street, Cardiff, who was represented by Mr. A. Jackson, solicitor, charged her brother, Edward Lloyd, of Cadoxton, with assault. The latter in turn charged his sister with damage —It appeared from the evidence that the mother of the parties died some time..ago. On the 10th inst, the woman went to her brother's house at 75, Cardiff-road, Cadoxton, to demand a share of the goods of her late mother, who died intes- tate. She knocked at the back door, and as soon as her brother opened the door he struck her on the head, knocked her to the ground, and kicked her several times.—The evidence of assault was partially corroborated by Police-constable Rhys Price, who found the woman on the ground, bleeding from the mouth and fore- head, with her brother standing over her.— Lloyd's plea was that he merely pushed his sister out of the house. She was, he said, bleeding before she came there, having fought with another brother, and this version was supported by Mary Ann Edwards, but the bench felt that there had been an assault, and fined Lloyd 20s., including costs. The parties then changed positions, and the case of damage brought by Lloyd against his sister was heard. The allegation was that the woman Hyett, in the absence of her 'brother, took a. large quantity of her late mother's clothing, and made a bonfire there- with, also doing damage to a gold watch, pair of gold spectacles, and a chest of drawers, to the extent of 925.-The Bench were not satis- fied that the damage was caused by the woman, and the case "was dismissed.

WISE HUSBAND. SUGGESTED A FOOD CURE. All of the medical skill in the world is powerless to cure certain diseases unless the patient is put upon pure, scientific food. Then the disease seems to cure itself in many cases, proving that Nature was demanding proper food to build a healthy body from. In this simple way the use of Grape-Nuts in place of bad food has worked many cures when medical skill has been exhausted. A lady who had been an invalid for over 10 years says: "I have been treated by eminent phy- sicians, besides taking innumerable proprie- tary remedies of a cathartic nature to regu- late the bowels. "My last physician advised a sanatorium, but my husband, who had been reading one of your articles, said, 'Not until we have tried the boasted virtues of Grape-Nuts.' So we got some, and I have now used Grape-Nuts for 8 months. When I began its use I weighed 6st.; now I weigh 8st. 4Jlbs.; my stomach has grown strong and normal, my bowels are so regular that I have thrown cathartic physic to the dogs, the vertigo has left me, and my whole system has gained vigour and tone. I can now take a 26-mile ride on my bicycle and enjoy it. "I am convinced that the chief cause of my ill-health was improper food that neither digested nor nourished. Since I have been fed right I feel right." Name furnished by Grape- Nuts Co., 66, Shoe-lane, London, E.C. Grate-Nuts at all dealers at 7d. per packet. Grape-Nuts comes from the factory fully cooked.

CURED OF CONSUMPTION Having cured himself of consumption, Sur- geon Thomas A. Berryhill, of the United States Navy, has been assigned to the cruiser Baltimore, which is being made ready for sea. Mr. Berryhill's self-cure of the white plague has aroused considerable interest. When stationed at New York two years ago he developed all the symptoms of consump- tion, and resolved to put to the test his own theories, which were the result of years spent in the study of the disease. He obtained leave of absence and went to Mishigan. During the summer he camped out, and in the following January proceeded to Texas. There he pitched tent, together with a young banker, who was also suffering from consumption. Every night they slept with the flaps of their tent open at both sides. Storms sometimes reduced the temperature to freezing point, but the tent flaps were never closed. During the day the men fished and hunted, making it a point always to keep their minds occupied with some invigorating outdoor exercise. The symptoms of consump- tion faded away one by one, and both men have now been pronounced entirely cured.
