The most interesting of current events is the appointment of the new Bishop of Llandaff. He can boast of something which marks him out from all his prede- cessors, however learned and distin- guished. He comes on the scene in the midst of one of the most remarkable reli- gious movements of our own or any age— a movement which has profoundly influenced the diocese over which he is called to preside. It is, we are per- suaded, an event of happy augury. We heartily congratulate the new Bishop. He is a worthy successor to the venerated prelate who so admirably pre- sided over the fortunes of the see for nigh a quarter of a century. Llandaff is one of the most important sees in the provinces, and has a future before it even greater than its past. What a past it has been! The cathedral stands on ground which is amongst the most hallowed in the king- dom. Centuries before the arrival of St. Augustine Wales had embraced the Chris- tian faith, and it was somewhere not far from Llandaff that the first Christian service was held in Britain, if not by one of the Apostles, at any rate by one of their immediate successors. Marvellous is the contrast between those times and the present! The Lian- daft man of 1900 years ago strutted about in a coat of paint and carried a spear for the settlement of political and economic differences. It was no small feat to make a Christian out of him. That was the most noteworthy "revival" of them all. Surely, those far-off" men of Glamorgan would marvel could they return and behold the wondrous develop- ment of the district. Who can even attempt to enter into their feelings? But, strangers as they would think themselves —and truly think-they would find the Faith to which their hearts were turned flourishing and bringing forth fruit a thousandfold. It is, then, to a great and historic diocese that the new Bishop succeeds, and we are certain that never before has bishop approached the episcopal chair with heartier or more unanimous goodwill. Report has nothing to say of Bishop Hughes but what is true and noble and good. He has the respect and affection I of all Anglicans who know him, and of the Nonconformists, too. He is an active temperance worker, a splendid organiser, a man of brain and of heart; he is no mere bigoted sectarian, no narrow party man. To conciliate, to unite, to encourage, to lead—these are his tasks, and if he be granted health and strength he will perform them to some purpose. God-speed to him! To quote Tennyson, the wheel has "come full circle" at Cilfynydd. Pro- bert junior was swiping his fellow- scholars with a strap. Certificated Master Evans soundly caned Probert junior. Probert senior came to the school and blackened Evans's eye. Then the scene was shifted to Pontypridd Police-court, where Evans was fined for assaulting Pro- bert junior, and Probert senior was like- wise fined for assaulting Evans. Appa- rently Mr. Evans had given the boy a I very smart licking, but, unluckily for him. he had omitted to enter the affair in the punishment book before resorting to the arbitrament of the cane. No doubt the anti-rod party will make a good deal of this case, whilst the scholastic profession will naturally sympathise with Evans. By the way, what are the feelings of a father"—a phrase used by one of the solicitors in the case. The expression is a delightfully vague ono, though very likely it served its purpose yesterday. If the feelings of a father are identical with a proper sense of parental responsibility, we fear the less said about them the better. Every year fathers and mothers leave their children more and more to the teachers, and, as a result, the latter find themselves more and more regarded as t "in loco parentis." Teachers, surely, do not want to take the parents' place. In an ideal state of society the parent would support the teacher, as a rule, and do his or her share towards licking the young idea into shape. But this is not done either at Cilfynydd or anywhere else. That was a very interesting meeting which the members of the biological and geological sections of the Cardiff Natu- ralistd Society held the other night- interesting in quite another direction than that in which lay the supper. Pro- fessor Parker, the retiring lion. secretary, made some very suggestive remarks. He spoke of the value of men like the late Mr. Peter Price and Mr. J. Storrie, and entreated all present, to find the men who, unknown, did research work, and get them to become members. This last is a moet valuable suggestion, and we hope it will not be lost sight of. There are not so many scientific workers that the loss of even one can be viewed with equanimity. It is not at all impossible that there are budding Storri-ea awaiting discovery. The scientific societies of Cardiff, and, indeed, of Wales, are far too isolated. What is wanted is more enthusiasm- more co-operation. Years ago Mr. Seward urged this, and drew up a scheme for a, species of Cardiff Athenaeum, which would be a focus for all the local scien- tific and art societies, and might, as time went on, even become a national insti- tution. This scheme—in advance of its time—was killed by some small jealousies which ought never to have been allowed to show themselves. We hope that some day this admirable idea will be resusci- tated. It must be patent to everybody that had the proposed institution been now in existence it would have been a considerable help towards the selection of Cardiff as the site of the national museum and library. The following delightful answer was given a day or two ago by a boy at the School, Cardiff. We will not men- tion the school, but we can vouch for the bona-fidee of the answer: — Drake was the first man in England to e-aui 1 round the world. He was a great fighter. He much liked by Elisabeth, because he put his nice clock over a pond of mud for her to pass over without wet- ing her feet, but after she had him killed. How very unkind of Elizabeth, to be sure, and after poor Drake had ruined his nice clock, too! The early closing movement is in full swing at Cathays, but one or two men in a certain line of business persist in holding out. Another of the community, who believes in putting up his stiutters, in reasonable time, has, however, taken his revenge on the neighbouring recalci- trants by chalking up on his premises the following announcement:—" Closed for the benefit of smaller shopkeepers!"
Mainly About People.!
Mainly About People. Her Majesty Queen Alexandra has a decided liking for mauve. She waajis it both by day and -muing, and hae been painted in a mure gown. Then. her fond- ness for amethysts proves the same fancy, ae an Oriental amet&yst is a cross between mauve an-d purple (says M-A.P. "). And Queen Alexandra's friend, the Marquise d'Hautpool, shows a similar fancy for tiias dainty, almost poetic, colour. Pale blue has many friends. Prinocas Henry of Pleee has identified herself with the colour for heT frocks, and also in her favourite jewel, tur- quoises. Lady Lanedowne often wears pale blue in the evening, and it diap-lays to advantage the gleam of her fine diamond*. Lady de Trafford a favours it, and doll blue makes a charming background to her name-ftower--tbe violet. Miss Nina. Hill, daughter of Lord and Lady Arthur Hill, is yet another wearer of hhJ.e., and often appears at smart dances in a blue tulle hell-gown. The Bart of Lewes, wtoo celebrated his fifty- second birthday on Saturday, is the eldest son of the Marquess of Abergavenny. The marquees is 78 years of age, and has long been a pillar of Conservatism. He is a wealthy peer, a, popular host, and a. good Bportaman, who in his day WSUB one of the crack shots of Eng-land. Among the property which the earl will, doubtless, some day inherit are two beautiful seats at Bridge Castle, in Sussex, and Nevill Hall, Aberga- venny—the latter prettily situated within a short distance of the town which has given its name to the ancient earldom and tie marquisate which rewarded the present holder's long and distinguished services to his party. The Barony of Abergavenny dates back to the reign of Henry VI., and was given to a Nevill. a branch of the house of that. Richard Nevill, Earl of "Warwick and Salisbury, who was known as the King Maker." It ib a, curious fact that both Warwick and his brother Montagu, who both enjoyed almcert regal state in their day, are now entirely represented in the House of Lords. while the descendant of the then important Barony of Abergavenny has attained the second highest degree in the English peerage. The sixth Lord Aberga- venny (the" as," by the way, is sole rut) got I into serious trouble with Queen Mary for assaulting Lord Oxford in her presence, and was sent to cool his heels in gaol, though at the end of a month her Majesty let him out on a. sort of ticket-of-lesave. Another eldest son. Lord Stop ford, heir to tho earldom of Courtown, celebrated his 52nd birthday on Friday. Lord Stopford. was for- merly A.D.C. to the late IJOTd Carnarvon when he was Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and is lieu ten ant-colonel in the 3rd Battalion of tho Royal Irish Regiment. The Soopfords are originally a. Lancasliire family, but since the middle of the seven tee nth. century they have been legated at Courtown, county Wex- ford. The Earls of Courtown are also barons of Sa ttensforrd. Cheshire, and thus are entitled to a seat in the House of Lords. Willie wanted to drive the horses. "Yout can't drive," said his father. Yes. I can," insisted Willie, "mamma says I drive her crazy most every day." Lord Korma-nby. who has just been pre- sented with a daughter, is well-known for his unique school, now given up, at his family seaA. where the eons of the nobility were educaited among surroundings of great. charm but somewhat unnecessary luxury. Since his marriage, however, as rt.altd, the school has ceased and Lord NormanJby resides at has seat. Miss Johnston Foster, of Moor Perk, Faraham, as his wife was, is sister of Lady Inohiquin, and was a. great heiress. She teas a fine voice, and is very fond of singing and music. The Footer fortune is said to have beem made in mohair. The Phipps family were from Lincoln- shire, where a member of the house raised a. troop for King Charles intfue Civil Wains. His grandson waj made Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 710 as a reward for his famous defenoa of Henry Sachevereil, the political preacher. He has removed from office on Queen Anne's death owing to the opposition of the Whig party in Ireland. The Lord Chancellor's son married a great heirase, the only child of James, third Barl of Anglesey, by his wife, daughter of James II. and Catherine Sedley, which brought the royal arms, with a border, to the Phipps escutcheon by virt-tie of a, grant by Jamee n. to his daughter. The first MatTiaess of Normanby was a statesman and diplomatist in the last cen- tury. Besides holding the office of Lord- Li ercttenant of Ireland in 1S35, he was Ambas- sador to Paris from 1846 to 1852. The Phipps have been an enterprising as well as a dis- tinguished family, for the second Lord Muigrave made an attempt to find the north- east passage in the Racehorse, Nelson being &08 Of hiø midshipmen. The Irish Lord Chancellor. dbnmr-MeDAioned, was also sup- POSÐ-d to have been a, cousin of Sir William Phipps, inventor of the dining bell. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who is now in thia country, is muoh interested in the science of ornithology. He himself is, it has been remarked, "something of a kingfisher," for it ishi great ambition to possess a royal crown and to see his principality become a full-blown kiagdom. To that end he is always intriguing and scheming, and, truth to tell, he is politically about the most un- reliable potentate in Europe. Even in the Balkans, where politics are strenuous, his methods are not looked upon wit/h kindness, and the murder of Stainbuloff is quite as much on his conscience ae was Beckett's on his royal master's. An excellent story comes from Scotland (say* To-day"). it was at a ofcristaning, and the mandator asked the father, as is wsvad, whether he had oome properly pro- pared for suoh a, iolemn occasion. At ftrst the man did not quite understand, so the question was repeated, and even more sternly than beifore. You have come quite pro- pared. Donald, for this solemn occasion ?" Donald looked up and glared. I hae," he grunted. This somehow did not satisfy the minister, so tie proceeded to put his ques- tion onoe more, alter the manner of a parent questioning a. child. He had only a. few words spoken, however, when Donald, per- ceiving be was about to be oatec-hased agmim, buret out with, Look hare, I hev a firlook o' bunnock ba-kin, two bams, an' a gallon 0' the best GlcnMret.

IVITRIOL AND HUMOUR |
I VITRIOL AND HUMOUR Frederick Henry Robineon, a. stoker in the Na.vy, was tried at the Old Bailey yesterday for throwing vitriol aft. Beatrice Powell, who had been his sweetheart. Robinson's counsel pleaded that he was very drunk a.t the time. Mr. Justice Darling: So drunk that he didn't know a torpedo-boat from a, trawler. The defendant was given an excellent character, and it was stated that the Navy would like him back. He would lose some pay. and be sent to sea as part of the punish- ment. Mir. Justice Darling: Dr. Johnson once said tha.t being at sea. was like being in gaol, with the additional disadvantage of being exposed to the peril of being drowned. The defendant was bound over.

CROSSING A HEDGEI
CROSSING A HEDGEI FATAL GUN ACCIDENT AT PENCOED. Yes?tercLa.y evening a fatal gun accident occurred to a boy named EeginaJd Thomas, aged sixteen years, son of Mr. John Thomas. blacksmith, Crown Cottage, Pencoed. The lad took out a gun with him about three o'clock in the afternoon and went on some of the neighbouring farms, probably in search of rabbits. He was accompanied by his father's dog. About 6.30 o'clock last night Mr. Daniel Thomas, the tenant of Tantan Farm. noticed a black dog unaccompanied, and standing near a hedge in one of his fields. He thought tie dos had spotted a. rabbit, and, on going to see whose dog it was. he observed the dead body of a ma;n lying across the hedge. It is supposed that as the deceased crossed the hedge from one field to the other the gun went off with fatal results. Mr. Thomas, the farmer, at once reported the matter to the local police, and Police- constable Bowen immediately made for the scene of the tragedy. On exami-ning the body it was found that it waA that of the boy above named. There was a large gun-shot wound on the left side, and the heart must have been shot through.. There were several scratches on the face, and a small wound on the left temple. It is believed that deaith must have been instan- taoeous- The body was removed from Tanlan Fiield about eigiht o'clock last night, and taken, to deceased's heme.
Miss Bellingham Î
Miss Bellingham Î THE FUTURE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE One who is intimately acquainted with Miss Augusta Bellingham, the future Marchioness of Bute, writes to say that she is pretty, petite, and dark. She is a devout J member of the Roman < Catholic Churoh, devoted to her beautiful Irish home, and beloved by those among whom sfle has lived all her life. "I have no doubt," writes our correspondent, "she will make an excellent THE FUTURE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE. wife to Lord Bute, and her liveliness and attraetion to lively society will be a whole- some foil to his natural shyness and tendency to retirement." Lady Bellingham, Mi3s Bel- Ungha.ni's stepmother, is a cousin of the late Lord Bute, and she has often, with her step- children, stayed at Mountetuart, Dumfries House, and the other Bate residences. The I' present marquess and his betrothed are therefore, quite old friends.
Newport Playgrounds.
Newport Playgrounds. QUESTION Of SUPERVISION I New duties are to be added to the police at Newport. The elementary schools committee thought, that, if the police could give the r necessary supervision, it would be a, good thing to throw open the school playgrounds after sdhool hours for the purposes of juve- nile recreattion. The head-constable has re- ported to the wateth committee that if all that is meant is that tlie constables should pay a visit as they pass the schools it would not mudh interfere with their duties, but if II they were expected to remain in the grounds during the time they were open for play it would be impossible for the police to under- take the duty without withdrawing them from their ordinary work. The wa.tch com- mittee has decidoo that the education com- mittee be informed that the police can give ocoaaional supervision to the playgrounds, bu.t referred the suggestion as to the park rangers supervising the playgrounds to the pa.rks committee.

I A STREET MINSTREL !
A STREET MINSTREL Who Objected to Prison Fare At Porth Police-court to-day a rather venerable-looking man, named Aaron Mit- chell, was charged with being drunk and disorderly.—According to a polioe-offioer, the defendant, having been ejected from the Porth Hotel, went to a, crowd of revivalists, and started crying that he was hard up for money, and then went on begging. He had on his chest a large printed placard stating that he was one of the four survivors of the Penygraag explosion. The defendant pleaded that he was dis- charged the preceding day from Neath Workhouse, and wae making hia way to Mer- thyr. his native parish. He was, he said, "a street minstrel, and aang praise to God." He then made a protest against "the powers that be," explaining how very wrong it was oa the part of the authorities to treat an old main 75 years of age in the way he had been treated. He also objected to the fare provided him at the police-tit at ion. Inspector Gill pointed out that the defen- dant was allowed the usual rations, but his tastes were too fastidious for prison fare, and objected to eating bread without some provision with it; "but." added the inspector, "we are not allowed anything." "Not even margarine," isuggeeted the Sti- pendiary, but the inspeotor had to confess that even this luxmy was deaied those who were brought to the cells. The ease was adjourned for a. week to a.llow the defendant time to clea.r out of the district.

A GRIM CONFESSIONI A GRIM…
A GRIM CONFESSION I A GRIM CNFESSIONI BRUTAL DETAILS OF THE I BLOOMSBURY CRIME. I Another Death Planned A Will I on an Envelope. Startling documents—including a, sickening confession of the crime-were rcaè. at the. inquest i-estorday on Mrs. Caitberin-e B.%Il,ar i the woman murdered at a house in Compton- street., Blooms/bury. Albert Bridgeman, the ma.n of 21, who is j dharged with, the murder, was in court, guarded by two warders from Brixton Gaol, and the place was crowded. The husband of the dead woman was the ftrst witness. He had nothing to do, he eaid, with the broken engagement between his daughter and Brddgeman. On being fetched at two o'clock on Satur- day, he found his wife dead. Bridgeman ca-me to the house on the previous night, and, being in liquor, mad-e a row about one of his dhopmatee, and witness told him to go home. There was no quarrel, so far as he knew, beitw-een Bridgeman and his wife; but his daughter had broken off her engagement with him, and the mother had instigated the breach. Bloodstained Man's Flight I Jars. Shadbolt, a neighbour, told how, near- ing a. scream and seeing Bridgeman, with blood on his face and hands, run down the stairs, she chased him through several streets, but IOftt. him. The Coroner: Did you speak to him?—Yes; I said, "Oh. Alf, what have you done?" Did he reply?—No; he ran away the harder. The next witnoaj was Inspector Dew; and the reading of the remarkable statements put into writing by the prisoner began. On an envelope found at his rooms was written: Carefully read this. One job.

How the Murder was uone I Still more seoearfional was the lull oonres- etiou of the murder, recited in court, whioh ran a-j follows: I am going to tell this to the judge, and I want you to take it down. The job is done. I know that. I went to Mr. Ballard's on Saturdoy and intended to make her drunk and then cut foer throcuo on the bed. I treated bar several times, but oould not make her drunk, so I took the poker when her back was turned, and was going to strike her on the head when she looked round and shouted, Murder! I then struck her on the head with the;, poker, and she ago-in screamed "Murder!" more faintly than before. I struck her again. and she fell on the floor. Intended to Kill the Husband I then took the poker with both hands and struck her wirth all the force I oould use, which was enough to kill a. bullock. I then cut her throat, and intended to put her under the bed, hide her, wipe up the blood, and wait for her husband. She has always been very nice in front of your face, and has been saying a. lot of things about me, and called me a name which was disgraceful to my mother. I looked out of the door, and Mrs. Shad- boJjt looked over the banisters. She said, HAlf, what have you done?" I then ran away. She saved Ballard's life, as I intended to kill him and than cut my own throat. Tho reading of all this did not abash Bridge- man. His Statement in Court 0.- I He went into the witness-box, and, with a steady voice and composed manner, said that the broken engagement was not the cause of the murder. "I'll tell the crime later on." he added. No verdict was possible, said the coroner, but one of wilful murder. With this the jury agreed, and their finding was to that I effect.

GERMAN -EMPEROR
GERMAN EMPEROR NEARLY BREAKS OFF HIS SON'S ENGAGEMENT. A Royal Wedding Postponed I No little sensation has been caused at Berlin by the postponement of the marriage of tihe Crown Prince with the young Duchess Ceoilie. Instead of being in May it will not ta-ke place til the second fortnight in June. Remembering the stories current lately M to .tension bat ween the Courts of Berlin and Sohwerin, it is not surprising that people a-re now asking whdtfher the marriage will take place at all. If there is trouble between the parents of the young couple it is due to the strange affair at Florence, and the telegram the Kaiser is said to have sent to his son recall- ing him brusquely from the company of his iMended briide. Many versions have been published of tills affair, but tlhis, it is stated, is the true one. True Version of the Trouble. The Grand Duohess and her daughter were anxious that the Crown Prince should visit them at Cannes. To this the Kaieer objected. It was then proposed that the betrothed Should meett at Florence, and the Kaiser 8 oonseat was obtained on the following under- sta.nding 1. That the Duohess Cecilie should be accompanied by her mother. 2. That the betrothed should not stay at tihe same hotel. Piqued by this show of parental authority, and feeling that she could manage her own affairs without the Kaiser's assistance, the Grand Duchess declared herself ill, and announced that she would go to Florence a little later. Meanwhile the young Dncheee could go to Florence, she declared, under the oliaperonage of Baron de Maltzahn and his wife. The lovers met at Florence, and three days passed pleasantly enough. Th-en the Grand Duchess telegraphed to her daugihter that she could not think of joining her because her brother, the Grand Duke George of Russia, was coming with his family to Cannes. Send Her Back to Her Mother" I Upon this the Crown Prince referred the matter to his father, who, greatly angered, replied at once; Send Cecilie back to her mother. As ,for you, return immediately." The Ka,iser was obeyed, but the engagement was seriously jeopardised, and it required all the efforts of Princess Alexandra, w^fe of Prince Christian of Denmark, and sister of the Grand Duchess Ceoilie, who went immediately to Berlin to prevent the match being broken off by the Kaiser and the Grand Ducheis Anastasia. Though this affair was amicably settled, there are other troubles in the air. I
Swansea Lunaticst
Swansea Lunatics t CORPORATION CONSIDER AN I IMPORTANT SCHEME At a meeting of the general purposes com- mittee of the Swansea Corporation yesterday evening an i-m-portant new scheme was advanced respecting the asylum arrangements of the county borough. As will be remem- bered, Swansea has, like Cardiff, been required to separate from the Glamorgan County in the vtu" ter of providing accommo- da.tion for lunatics. Cardiff have decided to build an asylum, but the Swansea Council, however, have been engaged in planning lees expensive arrangements, if possible. At the meeting a scheme was considered by which the Radnorshire and Breoonshire oounty ailth-orities invited Swansea to join them. The basis suggested was that Swansea should contribute six-thirteenths of the oapital cost of the present asylum at Talgarth and of the extensions neceseary to be made, Breoonshire and Radnorshire to contribute seven-thirteenths. The scheme was favourably discussed, and it was deferred for further consideration. The propoeal is to enlarge the existing asylum so as to provide 650 beds, and that of the 650 beds 350 are to be allotted to the two counties of Brecon and Radnor, and the re-maining 300 to Swansea, Swansea to pay 6-13ths of the ca.p.ital cost of the exiat.ing asylum and proposed enlargement, and to pay Brecon and Radnor a sum for goodwill on being taken into partnership. In addi- tion, a fixed rental for any beds in excess of 500 to be charged. Brecon and Radnor to be secured a fixed combined majority, as againat the representation of Swansea.

DEAF MUTES' PERIL.
DEAF MUTES' PERIL. SAVED BY A TEACHER'S PROMPTITUDE. Exciting scenes were witnessed at a fire which, broke out early this morning • at the RoYAil Gross Deaf and Dumb School, near Preston. A teacher, named Morris, who WillS, sitting up studying, detected a gmell of smoke,and on going into the boys' day-room, he saw that a large pitohpine wardrobe was in flames. He rushed upstairs where over 40 <Lsaf and dumb boys were sleeping in dor- mitories just above the day-room, and awakened them and the masters. He also tried with an axe to break through a door communicating with the house of the head- master, who. however, was roused by the noise. Reitreat by the staaroaae was impos- sible, but one of the masters a,nd the engineer let themselves down from an up- stairs window by means of a sheet, and one of the boys descended by a waterspout. Those three secured ladders, and aJl "he children were enabled to descend in good order and with safety to the ground.

Marital Difterences I
Marital Difterences I A CONTRAST IN TWO CASES AT PORTH I The Porth magistrates had to adjudicate to-day on two cases of marital differences wfbJidh presented a curious contrast. In the one case, Wthere Annie Daviee, of Tonypandy soug'ht a separation order from her husband. Thomas Lewis Davies, also of Tonypandy, tihe parties were barely out of their teens, and had only been married since March, 1903. Mr. Horatio Phillips, who appeared for the complainant, explained tihat a settlement had been arrived at, the defendant consenting tv pay 10s. a. week towards the maintenance o* his wife and one-year-old child. The defen- dant- had ill-treated her and turned her out of the house. Mr. D. Thomas (a magistrate); Why don't you live witlh your wife? The Defendant; I didn't turn her out of the house at all; eihp- went of her own accord, Mr. Wayne Morgan, who defended, said that tihe blame was not entirely that of the hus- band, the wife having run him JM 10g. in debt, although the gave her 30s. a, week. In the second case, where the parties con- cerned had to all appearances exceeded ths Allotted Span of Life the complainant was Ann Maria Jones, of I Tylorstown, who sought a. separation order from her husband, William Jones, on the ground of desertion. Considerable amusement was occasioned by tihe complainant explaining how fche had out of sheer pity taken in to her home a woman and her two children, and alleged that the defendant had subsequently bee-n "making love" to this woman, and wanted to get rid of her (the complainant). His injunctions were that oomplainant was not to touch any- thing. One afternoon, however, he mistook heT for the woman, and caressingly gave her his dirty clothes to wash. "He mistook me, you see for her," she confided to the magis- trates, and she joined heartily with the court in laughing over the joke. The husband then. with great solemnity, abjured his wife to remember that she was on oath. Complainant then went on to explain that, after she had succeeded in getting rid of the woman, her husband followed suit and left her. An order of 53. a week was made.

CARDIFF OUT-RELIEF
CARDIFF OUT-RELIEF ALLEGED EXTRAVAGANCE BY GUARDIANS Closer Supervision Resolved Upon, Thle question of the administ-ration of out- door relief 'in Oardiff-which is alleged in some quarters to be excessive—was again considered at the Union Offices, Queen-street, to-day by the committee of investigation appointed by the guardians. Mr. O. H. Jonefl (chairman of the board) presided. The special phase of the question more imme- diately considered was that in connection with the issuing of medical orders, over which the chairman said there should generally be as much supervision as waa exercised in the administration of relief. Mr. C. F. Sanders objected that the "extras'" sometimes were not such as old people would be likely to consume. The Clerk (Mr. A. J. Harris): If a medical man orders relief it is very rare that the relieving officer declines because he would not care to undertake auoh responsibility. U a dcatii occurred the relieving officer would be blamed. The Chairman pointed out that if too medical extras were considered to be unrea- sonable and a person was in a position to pay, they could relieve by way of loan. Mfr. Saunders: I don't think there are many cases in which we could recover. There are. cases of Extreme Destitution in which orders are given. The question it whether they are not sometimes excessive. The relieving officer would not like to take the responsibility of saying that the doctor does not know what he is about. Mr. David Brcwn said there were cases in which the medical officers had to ordec liberal extras to build up the constitution. The Chairman: Of course, there are suoh, cases, but theee extras should be most care- fully watched. Mr. E. Jones suggest.ed that the relieving officers supply summaries, giving items of the various cases. The Rev. F. J. Beck: We should have to consider every case. It must depend upon the individual circumstances. The Chairman: To a great extent; but I think wo ought to exeroise more general super vision. The Rev. F. J. Back: It comes back again to particul,ar cases. Mr. Jones: Do not some of the medical officers give more relief tickets than others? If we knew that we could find where the fault lies. The Rev. F. J. Book: That would prove nothing. In some districts they may have to give more. The Chairman; With all due respect, I think there is a Great Deal of Laxity Mr. Sanders said it might, perhaps, be found that the medical offloers did not all give these extras on the same lines or to the same extent. Miss Bleeby: There is a good deal we must look into in that direction. The relieving ofnoers were called in. and questioned as to the prevailing practice, Mr. GLoyn (Canton) said he always made inquiries a« to tho means of applicants for medical relief, but net always before giving an order, for the reason that some-times the ca~4\s were urgent. In many casee, especially of late, he know the husbands were out of work because he had seen them walking about. Some time ago the relieving officers wero instructed to furnish the committee wit.h a return of these orders regularly, and that was done, but subsequently the com- mittee did not apparently think it worth tfaoir while to go through the orders. The Chairman it seems to me tihat prao tice ought certainly to bo continued. "In many cases," Mr. GlOYD proceeded, orders were given for medical attendance, or medicine only, until the Saturday when the pEut-ients were told to renew their applica- tiorft3 to the relief oommittee. It was pos- sible that in the past there had been abu«=e of the system of out-medical relief, but, generally speaking, every precaution, was taken to test the merits of the cases." The other relieving officers gave similar evidence, and mentioned ineanom where young children bad died a. few hours after they had given the paremts orders for medi. cal relief. Subsequently,, the Chairman said their dis- cussion had. certainly cleared the air to some extent. He thought the return of medical orders furnished by the relieving officers should be regularly inspected by the oom- mit-tees, and he moved that as a recommend dation. Mr. F. J. Beavan seconded, and it was unanimously carried. It was further decided, upon the suggestion of the chairman, that that committee meet occasionally to go through the returns of the relieving officers with a view to closer supervision of out- medical relief.
