Passing Pleasantries I XO OBJECTION". An angler, fishing in a Northumberland stream, was accosted by a gamekeeper. "Lord i 1Vidmonth hee th' i-eets o' this river, sor," he said, civilly. Musn't I fish here?" asked the angler. The keeper replied in the negative. I "I suppose I mustn't even fall in. may I?" queried the fisher, with a weak attempt at sarcasm. Weel. ser," returned the game- keeper, slowly and meditatively, "aa. don't think anybody'd mind that!" IN THE SAME BOAT. During some naoval manoeuvres a short- sighted old gentleman stood on the shore looking at the different warships. Beside him, gazing abstractedly at the fleet, was a rustic, of whom the old gentleman inquired, point- ing to one of the vessels: Would you kindly inform me the name inscribed on that boat?" Well, sorr." replied the countryman, to tell yez the truth, Oi'm in the same boat, for it was mighty little schulin' Oi had whin Oi was a bhoy meself, sorr. AX UXFOETUXATE ERROR. The-editor of a New York journal once wrote am obituary notice on a man of some promi. nence, and, among other things, said: He vafi educated for the Bar, but was tempted away from the legal profession by a love of Setters." He did not read the proof, and the .next morning was horror-stricken on picking tip the paper to read in the obituary not-ice: 4< He was educated for the Bar, but was tempted away from the legal profession by a love of bitters."

Race of Love I When a lad is in love with a girl in Lapland they run a race. Not a fair race, for he is so heavily handicapped that if she wishes the girl can get first to the goal, but if she cares for the young man who is trying to win, she lets him overtake her, because if she outruns him he cannot propose again. Polyglot Lift-boy A remarkable aptitude for languages is shown by a. lift-boy, thirteen years old, in the employ of the Hotel Union Company at Lucerne. lvhen complimented by the writer upon his knowledge of English, the little fel- low modestly admitted that in turn he had studied French, English, and German, and with the aid of the canton priest was then delving into Greek and Latin, Came Back at Last A lady at Bellefonte. Pennsylvania, lost a costly brooch. A boy found it. offered it in exchange for a circus-ticket, and it was taken. The ticket-seller gave the brooch to a circus- girl, who, not deeming it worth much, paid" for a round-about ride with it. The round- about man put the brooch in his pocket, and later handed it to his wife, who wore it, until one day the police, instructed to try and trace the missing treasure, asked her how she had come by it. By the time the brooch was at last restored to its rightful owner the search for it had cost £ 20. Chinese Slaves China. is undoubtedly the greatest slave country in the world. Of a population of 400,000, over one-fortieth are slaves. Every family of means keeps its girl slaves; and a man's position is ganged by the number of staves he keeps. At any age from three to fif- teen girls are sold, seven or eight, being the age at which most change hands. The unfor- tunate slaves vary in price. The average is about L7- but much depends on the girl's appearance. A good-looking girl will fetch JE4 or even a. The girls are mostly purchased to do housework, it being oheaper to buy than hire.

GLOVE CONTEST AT NEATH.I FRANK REED (AMERICA) V. JOE I KNIGHT (CWMCARN). There was a fairly large gathering of sports at the Assembly-rooms, Neath, on Saturday evening, when these men met to box the best of twenty three-minute rounds for a purse of £ 50. Reed. who is a coloured man, has defeated Dick Ward. of Liverpool, in three rounds; Joe Mitchell, of America, in four rounds; Jasper White, of America, in eight rounds; Harry Smith, of Birmingham, in six rounds; and Jack Roach, of Wexford, in four rounds. Knight, who turned the scale at list. 41b., and was nearly a stone lighter than the darkie. came with a good reputation, he having defeated Dai Hughes. of Ferndale, and Ben Llewellyn, of the Rhondda, with the raw 'uns; Ted Williams, of Ferndale, in eight rounds; Sam Burk, of Manchester, in two rounds; R. Hurn. of America, in two rounds; "Chippy" Saunders, of London, in three rounds; Charles Robins, of Lambeth, in three rounds; Fred Martin, of Bristol, in two rounds; and Joe Platford, of London, in ten rounds. Knight was seconded by Billy Morgan, of Swansea; Harry Thomas, of Neath; and Naylor. of Cwmcarn: while the darkie was supported by George Lucas. Darling, and Dai Morgan, of Swansea. Mr. Bill Davies, of Swan- sea, was the referee. Reed in the third round forced the fighting, his opponent having a very warm time indeed. He drove in several hard right-handers on the ribs, and followed Knight all around the ring. The white man took the punching gamely, and time after time he countered on the face. but his blows seemed to lack force. The black had all the best of this round. and at the conclusion he danced to his corner, and waved his hands to his supporters in the audience. In the fourth and fifth rounds Knight improved, but the black started the sixth round well, and he forced the fighting. Tt looked odds on him. But in the middle of the round Knight steadied himself, and. catching Reed on the turn, found the point with a straight right-hander. Reed fell like a log. and was conirted out. Subsequently he had to be half carried to his corner.

CARDIFF RADICALS) I TRENCHANT LETTER FROM SIR E. J. REED. In reply to a personal friend. who had inquired how he was now related to political parties in Cardiff, Sir Edward Reed wrote as follows: — "My political relations to Cardiff are at the present time of a most unfortnnate nature, and such a3 would absolutely force my immediate retirement from the House of Commons but for the aversion which is felt by all political parties in the town- to a bye-election at the present moment. The Liberal party, dominated as it now is by the extreme Radicals, appears to me to have drifted very far away from what I have always understood to be Liberal principles; and, indeed, from what occurred at the last election, when I was returned by a large majority to maintain the interests of the Empire, as well as of the constituency and of the town-the last not being the least of my duties. According to the Liberal party of to-day, we must not now regulate the trade of the Empire; we must not establish closer trade relations with our Colonies; we must not work the gold mines of the Transvaal by the only plain and palpable means presented to us; we must not adopt the only means open to of counteracting Russian influence in Tibet; in short, we must do nothing, or next to nothing, to the advantage of this country and Empire, but must cavil and dispute over everything which the present Government does or attempts. Well, you know well enough that this sort of thing never ha-s been, is not, and never can be the sort of thing fo!" which I have given my services to Cardiff I am not. as you know, in favour of any blind and wholesale changes in our fiscal policy; but I know of no reason whatever why we should not look after our own trade and com- merce with due regard to the hostile tariffs erected of late years, and swollen to most exaggerated proportions, and likewise get into better relations, in a commercial sense, than those we have drifted into with respect to our splendid Colonies of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Of course, every step must be taken with caution and after full inquiry, but the mere howling for Free Trade when no such thing at present exists is not at all to my mind. The great mistake which the Liberal party is making, in my opinion, is that of substituting attacks upon the present Government for the better and nobler work of fitting itself to take over the government into its own hands. I was asked the other day by a member of the existing Government to sketch out for him such a .new Govern- ment as I would myself constitute if I could. I declined the ironical. task but we both agreed that it would be very easy to over- throw the present Government if we had a wise, patriotic, and far-seeing Opposition to take its place. "You will see from the above how distaste- ful my present position is, and how gratified I should be to retire from it as quickly as possible. The local political position in the town which I have had the high honour and privilege of representing so long is quite as strange as the national one. I understand that one Labour candidate is already before the constituency in the person of Councillor Alfred Good; but. the Liberal Association, which issued its orders to me so unceremo- niously, and seemed to find me not Radical enough, does not show any eagerness to accept Mr. Good, but appears to prefer the young Conservative member for Plymouth, to whom I am not disposed to-take even the slightest exception, and who certainly must have immense courage to offer hiB services to a party for whom I appear to have been insufficiently democratic. Such is life, and such the steady and determined Radicalism which made the seat impossible for me! It turns to the future Lord Wimborne! I can only pray for the dissolution, and then step aside and ask myself, 'Where is the Liberalism I so long knew and tried to eerve ?'

SOUTH WALES CLERKS5 ASSOCIA- I TION. A gratifying feature of the annual meeting of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Clerks' Association at the Royal Hotel, Car- diff, on Saturday evening was a very satis- factory report of the society's progress.—The Chairman (Mr C C.

A new branch of the association had been formed at Llanelly. In conclusion, reference was made to the valu- a.ble services rendered by the secretary (Mr. Evan Owen. J.P.).—The report, upon being seconded by Mr. Bedford, was adopted.ir John Llewelyn, Bart., was again elected presi- dent. Mr. Charles Massy resigned the posi- tion of chairman of directors, and was elected a vice-president, while atr. C. C. Perkins was chosen to succeed him in his former office.

OBITUARY. I MRS. JANET WILLIAMS. I By the death of Mrs. Janet Williams on Saturday at 13, Richmond-crescent, one of Car- diff's oldest, if not the oldest, inhabitant has passed away, at the ripe old age of 96 years. She was the relict of Mr. James Wintams, who died at Cardiff in 1877. and prior to his death for many years carried on, at the side of the old Glamorganshire Canal, the business of a blockmaker and boat-builder. We may say that he was one of the founders and an old Sunday School teacher of the Tabernacle Chapel, in the Hayes, and of which Mrs. Wil- liams was also a member. The old lady np to the time of her death retained all her faculties. She wm most intelligent, and her reooflections of old Cardiff and old famiHea ..iatereefcing,, ^pd.eptettoiniag. „

EDUCATION ACT I -0 GOVERNMENT TO DEAL WITH I WALES. In the course of a speech at Rhyl Lord Onslow, the President of the Board of Agri. culture, said the Government had waited for the recent county council elections in the hope and the belief that in Wales, a8 in every other part of the United Kingdom, there would be displayed on the part of those who exercised representative authority a desire to comply with the law, even if they did not agree with it, or to stand asidfc if they were unwilling to carry it into effect. The report with respect to the inquiry at Carmarthen had not yet been considered by the Government, but, at any rate, there had been no concealment on the part of those whose duty it was to carry out the law in the country that they would be guilty of irregularity and of illegality in its administration. (Cheers.) The Government had decided to take imme- diate steps to deal with the educational situa- tion in Wales, and within a very short space of time Parliament would be invited to take this matter into consideration. (Cheers.) It is stated by the Manchester Guardian North Wales correspondent that the Govern- ment will introduce a Bill dealing with the elementary education question in Wales on Tuesday week. BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S BILL. I According to some correspondents it is still the intention of the Bishop of St. Asaph to introduce his amending Bill into the House of Lords on Tuesday, although the introduc- tion of the Budget in the House of Commons the same day would, naturally, dwarf the interest in the measure. The following state- ment on the matter has, however, been con- tributed by a correspondent to the Parlia- mentary notes of the "Manchester Guar- dian" "As many conflicting rumours are in circulation as to the illness of the Bishop of St. Asaph and its possible interference with the bishop's intention to introduce a measure to amend the Education Act of 1902, it may be well to state—and I am able to do so on the best authority-that Dr. Edwards has no thought of dropping his amending Bill. The measure, however, will not in any event be introduced before Thursday, April 28, the date originally intended, and quoting the diplo- matic language of my informant.. its intro- duction upon that date depends upon the convenience of some who must be consulted in this matter.' The forecasts of the bishop's measure which have been already published may be accepted as little more than intelli- gent anticipation, based upon the views Dr. Edwards has expressed in articles and speeches, and it is unlikely that any full dis- closure of his proposals will be made before the Bill is actually introduced, except, of course, to those in the bishop's confidence. The bishop's illness, I regret to eay, has been of a rather serious character—first a chill, aggravated by going on with his work, then several days' high fever and incessant cough. He is now, however, allowed to be up in his room, and, blessed as he is with a tough and wiry constitution, there is every reason to hope for a speedy recovery of his fitness for work." DR. MACNAMARA ON THE I SETTLEMENT. Dr. Macnamara, M.P., speaking at a large meeting of school teachers at Leicester on Saturday, said he believed the settlement of the education controversy would be effected on the lines of the agreement assented to by the Bishop of Winchester and the Cowes school managers, that an State-maintained schools ahould be under the direct management of the public authority, the clergy to go into the schools at a stated time to give denomi- national teaching. He did not think it would work, but it would be a reply to those who said the people desired more than Biblical teaching in schools. He appealed for greater consideration for the physical state of the children.

I PRESENTATION TO DR. J. LL I I PRYISE TE,EHAR-NE, J. P TREHARNE, J.P. Dr. Ll. Treharne. J.P., Cardiff, has just returned home with Mrs. Treharne from a. Continental trip, from which his health has derived great benefit. The doctor has "done" Basle, Montreux, Milan, Venice, Vienna, Innsbruck, Boulogne, Amiens, &c., and in these and other places he spent happy and interesting hours. On Saturday night the doctor, at his residence in Newport-road, was presented by a few personal friends with an Inscribed silver salver, as a mark of their esteem. The inscription on the accompanying address set forth that it was presented to "Dr. and Mrs. J. LL Treharne," and then it proceeded—"We have the honour to inform you that a few of year personal friends have subscribed a small sum each in order to present you, on your return from the Con- tinent, with some small token of their esteem and of their appreciation of your many kind- nesses.—We remain, youro faithfully, Geo David and J. Austin Jenkins, honorary secre- taries." The presentation was made in felici- tous terms by Mi-. Geo. David, other friends who followed in similar strains being the Rev. J. Morgan Jones, Mr. James Waugh, M.A., and Dr. Carrfpbell (Roath). Dr. Treharne feelingly expressed his acknowledgments to the gentlemen just mentioned, as well as to the host of other friends who had associated themselves with the movement.

NURSING APPOINTMENT. 1 PECULIAR INCIDENT AT NEWPORT I GUARDIANS' MEETING. At a meeting of Newport Board of Guar- dians on Saturday an unusual occurrence took place on the appointment of a charge nurse for the workhouse hospital. Three candidates were asked to attend before the guardians for the final selection. The voting went in favour of Miss Violet Hannah Edmunds, of the Union Infirmary, Romford, Essex. When Miss Edmunds was made ILware of her selection, however, she told the gua.r- dians that since arriving in the town that morning she had heard something which induced her to decline to take the position. She declined to tell the guardians what had induced her to change her mind. It was then decided to offer the appointment to the can- didate who received the next largest number of votes, viz., Miss M. A. Hodgkins, of Camden Town, London. She, also, when told of her selection said she would prefer not to take the position, as she was not previously aware of the fact that there was a superintendent nurse. The guardians then decided to ask the third applicant, Miss A. J. Hiaydon Pike, of Weston-super-Mare, to serve in the position for a month on trial. A "Western Mail" representative endea- voured to elicit from various sources the reason which had induced the two first selected candidates not to take the position. Both the chairman of the board (Mr. T. Dut- field) and the medical officer (Dr. Macormack.) said they were not acquainted with any cir- cumstances which had influenced the two young ladies, and neither of them had said why they would not take the position or who had given them the information upon which they acted in declining the appointment. The chairman said that so far as he could make out the position arose erinrply and solely out of idle gossip.

LOCAL WEDDINGS. PARRY-PARNALL. There was a pretty and striking scene at the Parish Church of Chrisfcchurch, near Newport, on Saturday, when the wedding took place of Miss C. Ethel Parnall, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Robert Parnall, and of Mrs. Parnall, of Glanmor, Chrietchurch, and Engineer-lieutenant Herbert Lyell Parry, R.N., son of Mr. S. Parry, of Chester. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. E. H. Parnall, wore a dress of ivory Oriental eatin, trimmed with Brussels lace, and she carried a beautiful phower bouquet of choice exotics. She also wore a handsome diamond ring. the gift of the bridegroom. Her bridemaids were Miss L. Bridson Jones (oouffin of the bride), Miss Edith Parrs (sister of the bridegroom), and the little nieces of the bride, the Misses Dorothy and Girlie Colborne and Ethel Nicholson. The former wore dresses of ivory white voile, with lace insertion and white sashes, and picture hats of white straw, trimmed with white lilac and bandeaux of tantpierine chiffon velvet; while the little bridemaids wore pretty dresses of white smocked silk, and Dutch bonnets to match. They also carried baskets of choice white, pink, and yellow flowers. J The best man was Engineer-lieutenant G. W. Jones, R.N., and the bridegroom was also a-ttended by his brother officers. Engineer- lieutenant H. H. Johnson, R.N., and Engineer- lieutenant Parnall, R.N.. all in full uniform. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. L. Feltoe, rector of Fornham All Saints'. Bury St. Edmunds, assisted by the Rev. H. L. Harrison, vicar of Christchurch, and the Rev. A. B. Pierce. After the cere- mony the relatives of the bride and bride- groom were entertained by the bride's mother at Glanmor. The honeymoon will be spent in London and on the East Coast. The bride's going-away dress consisted of a bolero and skirt of green cloth, with white facings and gold braid, and she wore an ostrich feather Marabout and a picture hat of Tuscan straw, trimmed with lace and feathers. Mrs. A. Morris. L.R.A.M., presided at the organ, and at the conclusion of the ceremony played the Wedding March."

CRICKET. DIVER AND THE NEWPORT AND SWANSEA CLUBS.. | Towards the close oi the iusz cricKP-T, season there were rumours in South Wales that Diver, the newest of the three Newport pro- fessionals, who did so well for the Uskside club last season, had been captured by Swan- sea. The idea was scouted at Newport, as Diver had entered into an agreement for a term of years. He is due at Newport, with Silverlock and Steeples, for the opening of the season in the first week in May. Diver has. however, written to the Newport Club asking if his agreement may be cancelled, as he has obtained a private appointment at Swansea, and is desirous of retaining it. The matter will be decided by the general com- mittee of the Newport Athletic Club.

GOLF. TENBY SPRING MEETING. The annual spring meeting of the Tenby Golf Club was brought to a conclusion on Saturday afternoon in magnificent weather. The meeting must be reckoned he most suo- cessful of those yet arranged by the club, and for this happy result the hon. secretary (Mr. E. Hulton), in whom the club has a most ener- getic and popular official, must be warmly- oongratulated. The links were in excellent order, and the handicapping, as the results of contests showed, was uncommonly good. The entries for all the event were large. At the conclusion of play on Saturday the club entertained between 80 and 100 members and their friends to tea. Final results:- 9-HOLE MEDAL ROUND, WITH URE CLUB. Gross. H'cap. Net.

LICENSING PROSECUTIONS CASE AGAINST A PONTYPOOL I LICENSEE DISMISSED. Liura Frances Evans, who is the licensee of tihe Prince of Wales Inn, High-streei, Ponty pool, was summoned at Pontypool Police-court on Saturday for permitting drunkenness on the 4th inst., while Geo. Gullick, a collier, was summoned for being drunk on the premises. Mr. Lyndon Moore, solicitor, Newport, appeared for the defence. Police-sergeant Watkins visited the inn, and found Gullick sitting on a bench in the ta.p- room in a drunken condition. He drew the landlady's attention to Gullick's condition. Mrs. Evans denied having served him. The case against the landlady was dis- missed. Gullick was fined ICs. PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS. I Ja-rnes Shenton, landlord of the Hanbury Hotel, GriSrthstown, was fined 40s. at Ponty- pool Police-court on Saturday for permitting drunkenness on his premises on the 6th inst. Just before closing time Police- constables Hathenall and Brown found a man, n-arn-ed Gallavin—formerly in the em- ploy of the d-efendant-being escorted off the premises by two friends. He was in a help- Ie"" condition, and had to be taken to the police-station, where he was attended by a doctor.—For the defence it was suggested by several witnesses that Gallavin had a faint- ing fit when he got into the open air.

I BUTCHERS' GRIEVANCES. I I OPPOSITION TO A PROPOSED NEW I CARDIFF BYE-LAW. We understand that considerable opposi- tion will be offered by the Incorporated Cardiff and District Butchers and Cattle Dealers' Association, and possibly the newly- formed Chamber of Agriculture for Glamor- gan, to Cardiff Corporation Bye-law 33, which says that no person shall drive cattle or sheep in the streets between the hours of eight o'clock in the forenoon and twelve o'clock midnight. It is pointed out that if the hours are enforced live stock brought to Cardiff market must be there before eight o'clock in the morning, and, in the event of their not being sold, cannot be removed before twelve o'clock midnight. A large quantity of live stock is purchased every Tuesday at Roath by butchers from the hills, who are, of course, anxious to see their purchases safe in railway trucks before leaving the town. It is feared by the local cattle dealers that if the new bye-law is enforced the trade from the hills will go elsewhere. A meeting of the emergency com- mittee of the Butchers' Association has already been held, and the Glamorgan Chamber of Agriculture has been written to with a view of joint action being taken.

FEARED CASE OF PLAGUE. I I PATIENT LANDED AT PORT SAID I BY SHIP NOW AT CARDIFF. I I Whilst the steamer Knight of the Thistle,, which has arrived at Cardiff from abroad, was at Port Said one of tbe seamen was put aebore suffering from what was believed to be the plague. The steamer now lies under supervision by the Cardiff medical officer. No fear is entertained as to a further case of plague appearing, inasmuch as several weeks have elapsed since the patient was put ashore.

I MR. MARKHAM, M.P., AND CHINESE LABOUR. The attitude of Mr. Markham, the Radical member for the Mamfield Division of Not- tinghamshire, in reference to the Chinese labour question in the Transvaal formed the subject of consideration at a meeting of the county miners' association on Saturday. The views of the hon. member were unanimously condemned, it being urged that the Govern- ment ordinance amounted to creating a form of slavery. In the event of Mr. Markham resigning, an opinion was expressed favour- able to the seat being contested in the miners' interest, with Mr. Hancock, their agent, as the candidate. The mining vote preponde- rates in the division. f ================

I PALM SUNDAY MISCHIEF NEAR I PONTYPOOL. Four Pontypool roWers-named Henry Hobby, William Plumley, Edward Plumley, and Thomas Williams—who were charged at Pontypool Police-court on Saturday with throwing down a portion of the wall surround- ing the historic church of St. Michael's, Llan- vihangel on Palm Sunday, attempted to prove an alibi. Police-constable Boucher, of Pontypool, em- phatically stated, however, that he kept the men under observation from Waunyclere to Pontypool. They were, he said, turned out of the Waxmyclere Inn, and they became very noisy on the way home. Near the church they moved about in the darkness, and he heard a noise as of falling stones. Witness later found that 36 coping stones had been pulled down. The defendants, who were represented by Mr. W. J. Everett, said the stones were on the ground when they passed by. The Bench found that the defendants had committed the dama.ge, and ordered each of them to pay a fine of 203., including costs. Mr. 1. Watkins, solicitor, Pontypool, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the church- wardens, who estimated the damage done at 28s.

I OFFICER'S SUDDEN DEATH.

He served with distinc- tion in the South*African War, where he was several times in action, and was mentioned in diapsbdhes.
