Fortescue-Flannery to be I Submitted. The name of Sir James Fortescue-Flannery, M.P., will be submitted to the management committee of the Cardiff Conservative Asso- ciation this (Tuesday) evening for considera- tion. We have every reason to believe that h3 will be adopted as the oandidate for the party in the forthcoming general election. East Carmarthenshire. J With regard to the suggested candidature ryf the Rev. Towyn Jones for East Carmarthen- shire, a Glanamma;n correspondent write.s:- Mr. Abel Thomas's friends confidently expect that be will soon be elevated to the judicial bench. In that ease his successor would probably be Mr. D. Lleuf-er Tihomas, who is an East Carmarthenshire man, and a. great favourite-with the Liberals of the constituency generally, as well as with the Labour party. A strong feeling exists in Conservative circles in the constituency against the apathy and remissness of the Conservative leaders. It is freely stated that Lord Emlyu should be .-p,,r)r,(Yactied foi-tliwitb, as he, undoubtedly, would be the strongest condidate that would have any hopes of success. Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, Maesteg, and Mr. H. Ivor Gwy une, Swansea, have been frequently mentioned as prospective Labour candidates. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT i The King on Monday signed a proclama- tion further proroguing Parliament from December 12 to January 15, and it is under- stood that on this or a prior date there will be a formal dissolution. Although not officially announced, it is an open secret that Mr. George Whiteley has been appointed Patronage Secretary of the Treasury, which means, in effect, that he will succeed. Mr. Herbert Gladstone as Chief Whip of the Liberal party. The hou. mem- ber on Monday entered upon his new duties at the Liberal Central Offices in Parliament- street, Westminster, where he will shortly be immersed iu preparations for the general elootioD, No authorised intimations of further appointments to the Ministry have been made, but it is probable that an additional batch of appointments will be announced this (Tuesday) evening. There is believed to be some foundation for the report that the Hon. C. E. Spencer, M.P., is likely to be made a peer, probably under the title of Viscount Althorpe, and to succeed the Earl of Clarendon as Lord Chamberlain. The Parliamentary seate hitherto held by I the members of the new Government have been now vacated by their acceptance of office. The gentlemen in question have, the**fore, in accordance with the require- I' ments of the statute, formally notified the Soeaker that they ha.ve accepted -office ot profit under the Crown. They are required to do so forthwith, but there is no eueix imperative urgency imposed in the case of succeeding steps, and there is no probability I that the trouble a-nd cost of immediate re- election will be imposed upon any of the new Ministers. The necessary formalities I would occupy most of the interval preceding Christmas, and it is understood that the l write for the geneVal election will be issued for the 8th or 10th of January, more pro- ba,blythe latter date. The Koyal Pro-clanta- ticn announcing the actual da,te of; the dis- solution is likely to be issued early in the I' first week of January. After receiving their s-eala or formal appointments to office at Monday afternoon s privy Council some of the new Ministers, induing Sir Edward Grey and Lord Elg-in, went to their respective departments :1Jnü ¡ took over the duties forthwith.

Meeting of Welsh Liberal M.P.s. I A meeting of Welsh members of Parlia- ment was held at the Devonshire Club on Monday afternoon. Sir Alfred Thomas pre- j sided, and those present were Messrs. D.. Lloyd-George, Herbert Roberts, J. H. Lewis, I Brynmor Jones, Wynford Philippe, Vaughan j Davies, Bryn Roberts. Ellis Griffith, S. W. Jones, Frank Edwards, and Reginald M'Kenna. A resolution congratulating Sir H Campbell-Bannerman upon bis secession to the Premiership and upon his formation i of "a, strong Liberal Government'' was passed. A further resolution of oongratula- j tion was directed to Mr. Lloyd-George. The J death of Mr. Humphreys-Owen was also referred to, and a resolution of oondolence passed. One of our London representati,ves writes: It was understood before the meeting took l place that the meeting would. consider the attitude to be adopted by the Welsh mem- bers with regard to the education question. I The members who were present were very ¡ reticent as to what took place, but gave the assurance that the education question was not raised, and that no further meeting of the party would be held, at any rate until after the general election. They showed some anxiety, however, that it should be under- stood tha,t the meeting was harmonious in character,- although questions -elicited the answer that no other business was trans- acted. Several members afterwards went to the banquet held in connection with the Liberal League annual meeting, and after- wards to a gathering at Lord Rosebery's house. The Central News understands that Mr. T. -H- Buchanan, M.P., for East Perthshire, hes been appointed Financial Secretary to the War Otlice.

"SAME OLD STORY," Cardiff Girl's Ruin. DISTRESSING REVELATIONS. To-day a,t Cardiff Police-court, (before MIS&STS. J. Herbert Cory, Joseph Howard, and T. W. Symonds) Edith Marshajl, twenty, was charged on a warrant with keeping a dis- orderly house at No. 53, Peel-street, on divers dates between November 21 and December 12. Mr. Harold Lloyd defended. Police-constable William Price sa.id that at 3.45 on the previous afternoon he visited 53, Peel-street, which was. a private house in prisoner's occupation. As witness entered a. man left. In the kitchen, on the ground floaT, he saw prisoner, two women, and one man. Prisoner, when charged, made no reply. Price next deposed to what he saw on previous occasions when he kept, vigil. In answer to Mr. Harold Lloyd, Price said- he had known prisoner twelve months. She was once in respectable service. There was no conviction against her. He knew she was now in a certain condition. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Harold Lloyd made a strong appeal in her behalf, and stated circumstances that were pitiful and distressing. His elient, he said, was not yet twenty. She was the daugh- ter of respectable parents. Until seven months ago she was engaged- at one of the principal hotels in Cardiff, and was then thoroughly respectable. Unfortunately, whilst there she met a man, who turned out to be married, and who seduced her, with the usual result. She was dismissed from her KAiu-ioa. and it was "THE SAME OLD STORY," Absolutely in despair, and with nobody to stand by her, the pooir girl went astray, %d on the streets, an5 being destitute, aud verg- mg, in fact, on starvation, she allowed this house to be used in the manner described. He I asked the bench so to deal with accused as to gii-ve her a chance of reclaiming her character, amd he undertook pea-soinaily to communicate with, the parents and other friends in tibe interests of the girl's future. Defendant was fined 20ft. and costs, or fourteen days. The miagisifcr&itesi allowed tilNe in whioh to pay the penalty. M, Cory: Pri'oe deserves to be commanded for the straightforward way to which he gave his evidence. h ?,i? Lloyd: I think be always ?Ves it in the Yj.r. you will ?U?w me to say ?. sir. wvy, if yctl wii,l me to The ether justice* concurred.
ARRESTED WITNESS. I 0- - I
ARRESTED WITNESS. I 0- I SOLICITOR'S STARTLING STORY 1 An amazing story was told yesterday in the police-court at Cambridge, when an agent. named James M'Birnie, was charged with embezzlement. The sum in question was 4s. 6d., which was said to be the money of .his employer, Alfred Margaud, who, it veas stated, trades as the Crown Art Company. It was alleged that the charge bad been made only to prevent the prisoner giving evidence against Margaud in another case. Margraud did not appear; but on his behalf a remand for eight days was applied for. Mr. A. Jones, a. solicitor, who &aid that he appeared without any remuneration, dec- lared that the charge of embezzlement was a trumped np one, end told the following dramatic story. Action for False Imprisonment Margaud in 1901, he said, prosecuted another argent, named Howa-rd, for embezzle ment. The case against Howard was die- missed, and. he then obtained judgment for EIED damages -against M-argand for libel and false imprisonment. iiowa/rd failed to recover the £ 150, Mar- gaud's wiofe having rlaimcd the property as I her own. An interpleader action was commenced; and M'Birnie and a man named Mitchell were 1 summoned to give evidence at the trial before the .Master of the }tolls last Friday. ) But on the previous Wednesday Mitchell disappeared. M'Birnie gave evidence in the case; but Margaud did not appear to sup- port his wife's claim. The Master of the Rolls adjourned the case for the production of the books; and soon I afterwards M'Birnie war, arrested. A Startling Suggestion I Mr. Jones submitted that the. reason for the charge was that the prosecutor bad an object in getting M'Birnie out of the way, as he had Mitchell, because they were about to give evidence on the interpleader action. From point of ".("\Y, it was neces- sary they should disappear. Mitchell dis- appeared on Wednesday; and the prisoner was arrested on Friday. Ho asked the magistrates not to grant a remand. He was prepared to repeat his state- ment on oath, said Mr. Jones; and he subse- quently did so. "Do you believe that the prosecutor is inte- rested in the prisoner not appearing? asked ,a ma gietr ate. I most emphatically do," said Mr. Jones;. and the case was dismissed.

I MARCHIONESS DELAYEO I The passenger cargo steamer Marchioness I arrived at Cardiff from Bristol about seven o'clock this morning, and, failing to get alongside t'he pontoon, her passengers, about twenty in number, weve landed in a small boat. The Jvrarchion813 left Bristol at seven o'clock last night, but, oWllg to the density of the fog, she was unable to make much progress, and, consequently, a voyage, which I under normal conditions takes about three l •hours, took about twelve hours to accom- plish.

M-t- Aatbury continued his argument in sup- port of the appeaiajit's case. Lord Justice Williams.- It seems to one Astbury that this is a mere question of money, and if your company a.nd -tbe corpora- tion of Swaaieea, would bear this in mind it would be a great benefit to the public, Instead of tha.t eaeh side has got his back-up, and is saying, Bother the public." (Laughter.) L,ord ,1 ustice Williams pointed out that the thing they, had to decide was whether or not tbe Telephone Company had a right of selec- ¡ tion- If. they bad p., rig-Jrt of selection then £ t;a £ court would not take away that right even if they 7j>ade that selection, in a. t maTicioua spirit.

-MILL RACE CASE. j
MILL RACE CASE. j AMUSING ASSIZE WITNESS. I At Glamorgan Assizes on Tuesday (before Mr. Justice A. T.. Lawrence and a special jury) the hearing was resumed of the action brought by Priscalla Lawrence, Finances Mary Lawrence, Lewis Lawrence, and Henry John Lawrence, Llantarnam Court, Mon- mouthshire, to recover £ 250 damages and to obtain an inji-irct-iou restraining the defen- dant, Clifford John Cory, Llantaiuia-m Abbey, from entering plaintiffs' land, deepening a mill-race, and depositing; soil ajid stones taken therefrom upon plaintiffs' land. An ancient inhabitant, F. F. Lean-, was called' to give evidence for the plaintiffs of the state of things a.t the mill-race within the memory of man. Tie old man uncon- sciously kept the whole court amused. His lordship himself could not restrain occasional smiles. With has spectacles balanced on the crown of his head the witness tried to recog- uise his signature to a statement that had been handed up to bimby Mr. Abel Thomas. That is not my signature," he said emphatically. The counsel then persuaded him to sign his name on another piece of paper, when the similarity to the signature on the statement was made apparent. Upon Mr. S. T. Eya-ns suggesting he should take his spectacles off the top of his head and putting them in their right place, the old man acknowledged that it wa.s his signature in the statement. Why did you tell me it was not signa- ture? asked the learned counsel severely. "I thought that was what you meant," replied the ani-eent witness, pointing to the date "3181. May, 1905," under the signature. You thought that the 31st May was not your signature?—I know a cow from a stone, I do. (Laughter.) On being furtner examined, witness said, I am dealing honourable." Mr. Thomas: Well you sadd in that state- ment More water -used to go down in the olden days than does now." Do you call that dealing honourable with me?—" I should walk a very different conrse than I have yet, if I bad not dealt honourable all my life," exclaimed the oldest inhabitant fer- vently.

JOHN BURNS ON DUTY : * 1*
JOHN BURNS ON DUTY 1* EXCITEMENT IN BATTERSci.A. I Will He Cling to His Bowler and Serge P Shortly afiter eight o'clock yesterday morn- ing a, telegraph boy climbed the steps of 108, LavendeKoill, Battersea, and rang the bell with am obvious sense of impona-nce. The orange-coloured envelope he carried was addressed to the "Bisrht Honourable John Burns, M.P." As a telegraphic address it was certainly extravagant, but then the occasion warranted the sender's outlay. Other telegraph boys followed in quick succession, and later in the day postman after postman thrust a pile cf correspon- dence into the letter-box of the comfortable- lockiii'g villa on Lavender-hill. In short, congratulations were simply showered upon the Right Honourable John Burns through, out the da.y. I The tide of telegraph boys growing slack, visitors began to caM; but no matter who thay were Mrs. Euros, who was kept busy aneweriuig the door, said that the Right I Honourable John Burns was not "at home." Then, his breakfast over, his telegrams and letters nea;tly filed-Mr. Burns never throws a,way a letter of any kind—and the invari- ble papers read, the Bight Honourable John Burns took His Bowler Hat I from its peg, jerked his bhM double-breastod jacket into place, kissed his wife and youth- ful son, and started out to t?J:e up his duties in th? Cabinet. He said he would not be back till midnight, as he had to dine with the Premi er I In his absence Battersea was given over to sensations. A few people of the superior kind with political opinions opposed to those or the Bight Honourable John Burns said, "Well, well." a.nd lapsed into gloomy silence. But the majority were enthusiastic. In spite of their enthusiasm, however, they speculated on many points. For instance, Mr. Burns once declared that no man's ser- vices were worth more than jB500 a year. As President of the Local Government Board his salary is £ 2,COO. What does he propose to do with Again, as a Minister of the Crown, will he st.illcUng to this blue serge suit and bowler hat at State functions? It is an absorbing question. It engrossed Battersea. all ci-ay, but it was understood that Mr. Burns was too engaged on the affairs <o £ the nation to solve his own personal problems just then. It ,-a hoped, however, that he may speak out on these .various points to-day. Buttersea is I very tmxious.
HOME RULE PROBLEM
HOME RULE PROBLEM liP POINTS OF LORD ROSEBERY'S SPEECH. Subjoined -are the principal points in the I speech delivered by the Earl of Bosebery yes- terday at a meefing of the Liberal League in j ,t--r,C?a,y at t ME-efing of tjl,3 l?eague in What is the "larger policy of the 'ardent Irish Sometimes it has been called "Separa- tion," sometimes "an independent Parlia- ment," and other forms have been given to it. The N ationa-list Irish policy is large in England; it is larger in Ireland; it is largest in the United States. The leader of the British Liberal party in giving unnecessary advice wa-s first identify- ing himself with tho "larr policy" and thcH urging the a-rd?t Irish '?ation?!i&b to .proceed by instalments, hut always with the view to the "larger P;,UC-y." I It is an invitation by the Mbsral !eader and proximate Prime Minister to co-op?rat? with the Iriph party step by step in tile prosecution of the larger policy. My formula is: "No independent Irish Parliament, or anything that will directly lead up to it." The policy of the Prime Minister is clearly and explicitly expressed: "An Irish Parlia- ment, and anything that will lead up to ¡ it." No one out of a lunatic asylum believes that in the next Parliament an Irish Home It Bute Bill can be introduced. Would it Dot inspire more confidence in the nation to say so directly and at once? It would have been easy for the Prime t Minister to have said after my Bodmin speech; "I repudiate altogether the inter- pretation Lord Bosebery puts on my Stir- ling speech." The silence of tlie Leader, Otf the Liberal party was an mi fortuTiiate cne. 1 It will be impossible for any member of the Government to get through a general election without telling us in clear and unambiguous terms what is the Irish policy o-l tlie new* Government. Our dirty is not merely to maintain a united Free Trade party, but to strain every nerve that an overwhelming majority of the ronstituene'i'es should be returned in support of the present Governsuent. I hope and pray tpiait the Government majority will be wholly and absolutely independent of the Irish vote. A Liberal Government, relying on the Irish vote, would not possess the confidence of country Mr. Chamberlain spoke of the Liberal Leag-ue as a hermaphrodite. I acvcaipt the omen. The Liberal League has the sterling vigour of the male and all the winning attnaetiyeness. of the female. I advise you to sUunra hermaphrodite on your ootepapsr. I greatly prefer it as an emblem to the 'bacon-producing and all-devouring denizen of OUT farmyards.
VAGABOND STORIES.I
VAGABOND STORIES. I The fact that, Mr. C. B. Fry, the well-known ipiiver^aty cricketer, was the guest of the New Vaga-bc-nds' Club at their Christmas dunner, held at the Criterion Restaurant last night, recalled to Mr. W. Petit Ridge, who prasiided,. an incident whiieli took place at a dinner given, to children, som-o time ago'by n7. Pry. One little girl had a. half-empty plate before her, aud was looking stolidly at it. He a?ked lier if amy thing was tlie matter, and pha pe.pK.ed, "You caunot help it. Go away. Mr. M il 1 Crocks, who was one of the party, ssiid to her, "Now, then, my little deair, what is the matter ? Whispec tome if the food .is not right, and we will have it' altered. Looking steadily at him, she I replied, "I wisb i hadn't had my«st ays j mended. The chairman also rela-tsd another j aneodote equally appropriate to the occasion. At a. ama-H. country station, there were two trains each mornaTig aoxd eaeh nig'ht, and the stiationmafiter amd the solitary porter had to fill in the rather long hours intervening by ¡ playing snap with the luggage labels in the i •winstar and by playLng cricket in the siummer. f A commercial travel ler being siaranded there one eammer s day, and biavitng to wit seven hours, asked to be allowed to join in. the ¡ cricket. He sent down a very good bail! to the st ati'o.ninaisier, ,an<d knocked down the j middle stump.

STORES SCANDAL J . STORES…
STORES SCANDAL J STORES .SCANL I Committee Chairman Criticised. ALDERMAN JACOBS AGAiN RE-ELECTED. William. Roberts moved at the meeting of the Cardiff City Council on Monday tha.t the minute of the health committee recom- mending that Alderman Windsor Jacobs be appointed chairman of that coiimittce be referred back. Mr. Roberts said that in doing this he wished to disabuse Alderman Jacobs' mind of the idea that he was doing this from any pergonal or political feelings, He was simply doing it in justice to the rate- payers as well as in consideration of munieipai morality. He (Mr. Roberts) had taken an interest in the affairs of the health department for some time, and since the reoent disclosures he was sorry that Alderman Jacobs should have accepted nomination aa chairman of that committee again. It was true that the aid-erraaln had been chairman or that committee for twenty years, and during that time, if reports were correct, the ratepayers had lost between £ 50,000 And £ 100,GQU by the irregularities of that com- mittee. A eh airman should be ma-bter oi his ctftpmittee, a,ud should know exactly what wa.s going on there, especially after an experience of eighteen to twenty years. The i question had been put. to him., ".Are you going to make your chairman responsible for the committee?" His reply to that was, No, except where the chairman and oMeial were on such intimata terms as Alderman Jacobs and the late superinten- j dent were." It was well known that Alder- man Ja-oobs gave a great deal of time to the health committee's work, and he was in close touch every day witih the superinten- i dent of the department. So close were they in touch that the late superintendent in on-a of his letters to the members stated that he-I had regarded at all times the chairman oiL the committee as the committee, it was very disrespectful to the members of the. committee that a.ny ofuoial should look upon the t chairman of. a. committee.as the com- mittee. The moving ot tbis resolution was distasteful to many of them. There was no precedent for it, a.ud tihere was no precedent in t'he Cardiff Corporaftfion for such a scandal as that brought to light. While his proposal was an i exceptional one, he would remind t;rwm that the disclosures were exceptional in character. MORE EFFICIENCY. Mr. Waiter Thoma.s seconded, and gave as his first re-ason for doing so that, as the health department was being re-organised, it would be to the advantage of that re-org-ani- fjation that a new chairman should be appointed—one who would not be influenced by the experience of the past 21 years. It would be very difRcult for a chairman who had worked on certain lines for 21 yüars to work on any other lines. His seoond reason was that he had a very strong objeotion to the custom of continuous chair- manship. It would be an advantage if chair- men were not appointed for more than two years at the outside. In this way every member of the committee would be brought into closer touch with the work of the com- mittee, and the result would be that the work of the ommitcee would be more efficiently I done. The time was opportune for making this change, because the health, department I was being re-orgauised. PERSONAL HONOUR. I Mr. F. J. Yea.ll opposed the motion, and said that he failed to see that a.ny reason whatever had been given for what was, after all, a personal att-aek upon Alderma.?i Jacobs- Neither the mover nor siecondei* would venture to a,ttrwk Alderman. Jacobs in con- nection with the stores scajid-al. When the scandals developed in connection with Mr. Vvoosey a local railw:J.Y company developed scandals, but they did not hear of the share- holders calling UPÚll the chairman of direc- tors to retire. It was unreasonable to hold Alderman Jacobs responsible. If the alder- man was responsibia there were other men equally responsible who had been on the committee equally long. Not a single sug- gestion had b?en made against the personal honour of Alderman Jacobs, and not a single man dared publicly—he did not know what was done behind his ba-ek- suggest that the rlderman had dome any- thing wrong. AIderma-n Carey QØ-uld not see what was to hE' gained by referring the minute back to committee. Were they going to put Alderma-n Jacobs under suspicion in the eyes of the public until such time a.s the committee would meet again ? Why not take a division at that ,nit,e.tiiig" Were they going to hold suspicion over the head of a, respectable citizen of the town who had devoted nearly the whole of his life to the public service? He hoped Mr. .Roberts would bo manly enough to take a division t,hat day. Mr. Walter Thomas's argument was very funny. As a good churchman he would turn out the rector of his parish one year and put in the curate next year. (Laughter.) "CRUEL, MEAN, AND DESPICABLE." Mr. W. L. Yorath said he hao never known the council asked to consider a proposition of oa. more unjustifiable character. Mr. Roberts held up to public ridicule amd abuse one of the oldest representatives of the public on the corporation. Gould he (Mr. Roberts) impute disfhonesty, corrupt motive, or collu- sion? Nothing of the kind. Wllre was the oocu¡rityfor any chairman of any committee if deiincnionei-es on the part of officials would cause »tll chairmen to be held up to abuse and ridicule in the same way? What about Alder- ma-n David Jones a-nd the waterworks committee. Councillor Ramsdale and the public works committee, and Councillor Courtis arad t"e tramways committee. Purity of action was the most cherished possession of a public man, and when a man tried to act up to a high standard it was cruel, mean, and despicable to try and take a.way the public character of a man on such fiimsy gro-unds as those presented to them that da.y. Alderman Illtyd Thomas opposed the motion, and said that when he first brought the matter before the health committee the greatest opposition he ha,d to contend with was that of Mr. Roberts. Mr. Roberts: Because it was a cock and bull story. Alderman Illtyd Thomas went on to say tha.t the question he brought forward was whether the late superin- tendent had allowed corporation carte to be used for the purpose of hauling stores for the L-landaff District Council outside the borough of Cardiff, and the superintendent admitted that he had done EO. Another question he asked was whether the corporation carts were to be frequently ssan in private yards. And he also asked if corporation carts were not lent to hauliers, and this was also admitted., Mr. Roberts rose on a point of order, and remarked that one of those to whom the carts were lent was Alderman Illtyd Thomas's father. Alderma-n Illtyd Thomas: Did Mr. Roberts believe the Buperinwndœ1t? He (Mr. Roberts) pioteated against men asking tno^e questions. Mr. Dashwood Caple agreed with the prin- ciple of periodical changes in the appoint- ment of chairmen, but he wa? opposed to the motion. Mr. Morgan Tho-m-as supported the no-tion because he considered that Alderman Jacobs had not exercised that a,,a -rviv,e ability which was necessary in a chairman of the health committee. Alderman Jacobs had a weaik point, and that had been played upon. WILLING TO WOUND—AFRAID TO STRIKE. j Mr. Lewis Morgan ,aid ne never remem- bered a oa6e where people had eo wished to woun3 ,?nd had been so afraid to strike. Mr. Walter Thoma?s argument, that the I depart,ment was going to be conducted on new lines, amd that the chairman was in- capacitated by twenty years' experience, was mere rubbish. Not 10n.g ago Mr. Walter Thomas wanteds all the members of the health committee to resign. This attack upon Alderman Jacobs was unfair, because these gentlemen had failed to point out one single instance where the knowledge was brought to the chairman of irregularity on the part cf the head official of the health department. If they could have brought forward a single instance where Alderman Jacobs had been a party to any- thing dishonourable lie (Mr. Morgan) would have supported them. It was eMy to make vague general statements, but not to support them with facts. The chairman (Alderman Jooobs) was one of the strongest advocates of an inquiry into the stores scandal. Did he not probe the matter to the bottom? And after doing that was not the man dismissed? Was that the act of a man who bad been party to these irregularities? THE VOTE. A vote was then talcen with the result tr.,t fix voted for Air. Roberts's motion, and 26 against. The following voted for the motion Alderman Edward Thcmas, and Messrs. C. Bird, Morgan Thotnn«s, F. J. Nicholls, William Roberts, and Walter Thomas. Against: The Lord Mayor, Aldermen Carey, David Jones, Trounce, John Jenkins, and Iltoyd Thomas, naid Messrs. Joseph Ramsdalo, F, T. Beavaai, W. S. Grossman, J. Mnim, P. J. Vea.il, Lewis Morga.n, J. W. Courtis, W. L. Yorath, F. G. L. Davis, James Kidd, John Maunder, Dr, Smith, W. J. Stan- field. H. C. Vivian. A. J. Stone, Daelnvocd Gatpie. James Taylor, C. F. Sanders, and Dr. ^Ga-tftiJlcra. Aideirrua-n Jacobs said he desired to express his TiliaTiks to those gentlemen who had so kindly expressed and voted their conscience in his chairmanship. It had bean, rather painful for him to sit and listen to what cue or two gentlemen had cald, and he could not let the occasion pass without thanking t't; I who had s-upportcd him.
KING AND -CARDIFF.I
KING AND CARDIFF.I AN INVITATION FOR NEXT YEAR I f At a meeting of the Cardiff City Council on Monday Alderman P. W. Carey moved:— That, in the opinion of this council it would give unbounded pleasure to the loyal inhabitants of the Principality of Wales if I his Majesty King Edward YII. would be graciously pleased to visit the City of Cardiff next year and open the new Town- ball and Law Courts a,nd the dock; and that the Cardiff Railway Compamy and the Right Hon. the Earl of Plymouth be approached with a view to united action F,,i,-Iit Hori. with f.? ? ?l?iy bis being ta.ken to humbly approach his Majesty in reference thereto. Alderman David Jones seconded. Mr. Beavan asked whether it was legal for the money expended on decorations to be drawn from corporation funds. The Town-clerk: My impression is that decorations are not aJlowed. Aldermen Carey reminded Mr. Eeavan that when he (Mr. Beavan) appealed for funds for decorations on the occasion 01 a Royal visit the public subscribed £ 2,000.. Mr. Beavan: I know. I only wantoesd to hear the exact position. The motion was unanimously carried.

is Platonic Love Possi b, I eP- f INTERESTING CONTRIBUTION BY A. CARDIFF LADY A young Cardiff lady, Miss G. H. Leaning, the daughter of Mr. J. J. Leaning, district superintendent Great Western Railway, has won the prize in this week's "Madame" for a. discussion of the topic, Is Platonic Love Possible?" Miss Leaning's short, but preg- mint, contribution to the discussion is so well written and is marked by such thought and insight that it will be read with inte- rest. The writer should certainly persevere. She writes:- Is xjlatonrc love possible? An emphatic Yes" seems—on the surface—to be the answer to the question. But as we leave the surface, as we get nearer and nearer to the root of the matter, and examine all the out- lying structures, do we give such an unquali- fied consent, or do V. b not rather fec-l almost inclined to reply in the negative? It is not that in itself this platonic love cannot exist —it can and does, and. very good, very whole- some it ie-tlle man gaining an insight into a girl's thoughts and character that he would never gain under ordinary conditions; the girl learning much from the man's broader view of life, so that her own views widen, while unconsciously her toning influence softens maaiy hard traits in the man's character. And then there is such an admirable amount of give-and-take in this state of "bonne camaraderie"! But to make the outside world believe in it! Imagine such a "platonic love" existing between a girl and a man. They themselves, their family, their friends—in a word, their immediate circle—take it for what it is. But the world- the little, chattering, gossiping world of busybodies—what do they say? Mrs. A whis- pers to Mrs. B as the two paes, Very friendly; must be something in it!" And Mrs. I B replies, "Oh, yes; they are so often together; must be a, secret understanding, I should think." To the man it matters not at all, but to the girl—what does it mean? ,t all, but to the gir, She is placed in a. false position. A man whom she might like to marry, and who might care for her, thinks she is engaged or practically SQ, and the mieun derst-aai dill g is never cleafcd up. There are only two craves in which even the world may, perhaps, believe that the "love" is purely and simply "platonic," and these are when the two have grown up together, or when the man is much older, a.nd has known the girl from a. child, and even thea I have often heard it ques- tioned. But there is another side to the problem, and this is a far more serious one, which affocts man and girl equally. Does this "Pla-ton;c love" always end there? May it not, does it not often, develop into some- thing much deeper on the part of one of them ? When he or she is no longer content I with this friendship, but wants much more, what the other, perhaps, cannot give, and then, what suffering, what misery for one, what endless, un.availing regrets for the other! These seem to be the reasons why such a "platonic love" ia avoided, for that it is avoided observation shows us. The risks are too great. Nevertheless, I think the advantages of such a "love" are inestimable, not to be overlooked. All honour, then, to those who-knowing this—decide to take the risks. — '— i

BETH HAMEDRASH i
BETH HAMEDRASH ———— ———— THE HOUSE OF JUDGMENT. Where Jews Obtain Advice and | Justice. Fifty yards from the Commercial-road East., London, a red brick building has just been erected. Its brightness shows up vividly amid the irregular wilderness of smoke-grey stone, and the thousands of Jews who live in the neigh- bourhood look at it with respect and awe. For it is the new Beth Earned rash, the House of Study and the Jewish Court of Justice. It was consecrated to-day by the Chief B-abbi, Dr. Hermann Adl<-r, and formally opened by L-ord Rothschild, with all the solemn ceremonial of the Hebrew faith. The Beth Din, or House of Judgment, is of chief interest. Here on a raised oak platform a tribunal will sit, which will deal with all questions of Jewish law and custom. The Chief Rabbi is the president, and there are [ three judges, assisted by an adviser skilled in tho Kuglish law. Here, free of charge, litigation of all kinds, from financial disputes between tenant and landlord and buyer and seller, to matrimo- nial eriuabbies and pre-uu-ptial"disagreements, will be heard. Many a, married couple, nursing exagge- rated mutual wrongs, come to the Beth Din seeking divorce. A few Words of Counsel and Advice mare frequently than not send them home rejoicing together, happy in their married love. Though the verdicts of the Beth Din. have no leg all standing in this country, they are in variably ræpeoted by the con?wnxhng"? parties. "Friendly advice and counsel are the key- note of the administration," said a well- known rabfibi to-a press-representative yester- day. "Candidates for offices in Loudon, the. provinces, and the Colonies, which concern the administration and performanoe of Judaic rites and ceremonies, have to apply at this court. "Here oomie the Sehochetim, the slayers of cattle, adopt in the scientific use of the knifo, and the purveyors of kosher food, to show that they are fit and proper persons to carry on the trades. "The court will sit on. Mondays and Thurs- days, and on. Sunday, Tuesday, a.nd Wednæ- day evenings, and one of the judges must be present every day to decide questions of ritual." The Beth Ha-medrash, as an ecclesiastical authority, dates from the time of Mosee, but its institution as a civil court took place towards the close of the second century. In London it dates from the early yea.rs of the eighteenth century.
|WHISKY IN THE NAVY I-
|WHISKY IN THE NAVY TO BE DISALLOWED YOUNG OFFICERS. The Admiralty has set its face against the consumption*of alcohol, except in very mode- rate doses, by naval officers. The sea lords assert that the daily whisiky habit destroys nerve and quickness of brain, and is in con- sequence fatal to fleet efficiency. This opinion was issued to admirals last month, and has row been circulated throughout the squadrons in the form of an order. The result is that considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed at what is termed gra-ndmotherly legislation. The official mandate runs as follows :— "Officers of any rani who ha bitual ly con- sume more alcohol than is good for them must u'Dces-sarily suSer a loss of nerve, a.nd consequently render themselves inefficient for service; and commanding officers are in such cases to limit or stop the wine bills of any officer should they consider this course -L,o be in the interests of his Majesty's ser- vice." Officers' wine books are being examined, and no officer under the age of twenty is permitted to consume spirits of a-ny kind. I THie officers state tha.t this order puts a premium on entertaining private g'uests, and pla4cas in the bands of captains a power which is not enjoyed by any person in oivil life over the private actions of grown men in their charge. As a reason for this order it is claimed t¡ha.t o1f1-ce1'3 of the. ships at home which are provided witih nucleus crews have no work to do in the afternoons, and that their good habits are endangered by this leisure. Instead of providing these officers with work the authorities cut off their whisky because a few officers in port are addicted to con- viviality. Among the men of the Navy 9,000 are known abstainers. The marines are noto- riously sober, and the Bo&oawen, Caledonia, Implacable, and Bulwark each boaat over a hundred temperance bluejackets.

The sr&and tickets are already all gone, amd the commit'toe- -are ejecting 2,030 seats in&isiSi -the ropes. I Football Honour At the dinner after the Cheshire mal-th Mr. Dixon (manager) and Mr. Gallaher (captain) acknowledged the toast of "The Visitors," -and expressed their sense of the honourable -conduct of Clwshire-in playing their everyday team without importations. Argument About the Referee j The New Zaaianders tsays aeon-temporary) repudiate the suggestion that there is any -difficulty, so far as- they are concerned, about the referke for nest Saturday's match against Wales. They submitt.ad to the Welsh Union the following four names, any one of which would have been a<soeptable to them:—Mr. Percy Coles (secretary English Rugby Union), Mr. F. W. Nicholls (Leicester), Mr. Crawfurd Findlay (Cambridge University), and M. Robin Welsh (Scotland). It iE understood that Mr. Robin Welsh has now been agreed upon by both parties, and that he will be asked to officiate. Why Do the Colonials Win P The oft-repeated query, Why do the 'All Blacks' win?" is thus answered by one of them You want me to tell you briefly the reason of our success? Well, "has is mow it -is. We have rapidity of attafck, we use the science have learned, each man exercises individual dash and disoretion. We have beaten teams possessing weight, pace, and fitness, but they have scot what we have —science." 'Anything else?" "Yes. Any. one of us aan play in any division of the te-aim. For instance, I am quite ae happy baek as I am forward. Tall Talk By their defeat of Cher-hire by 34 points to nil, the county's line being crossed ten times, the New Zealanders achieved their 26th suc- cessive victory, and totalled 761 to 22. On December 30 they intend to celebrate tho 32nd triumph. It is understood the New Zea- landers not only intend preserving their unbeaten certificate, but to amass 1,000 points. Tbey still require 239 with six matches to go. Th,e 'Athletic News" states they will pro- bably get them, a-s follows;—Yorkshire, 60; Wales, 20; Glamorgan, 50; Newport, 40; fur- dill". 45; and Swansea, 45. Of course, these figures are subject to alteration. Certainly, i -it is a tall order. Will they do it Paper Form IJnreHabie j Comparison by results proved a very misleading guide to the match betn New Zealand and Cheshire (says the "Pall MaJL") The Now Zealanders beat Durhaan by two goals two tries to a try, while Cheshire de- feated Durham by one goal t*vo tries to a try. I These results seemed to warrant the hope that Cheshire would give the New Zealainders a. good ganxc. Instead of doing 80, the Cestrians were defeated by no less than two goals eight tries to nothing. The reason of this -unexpeeted rout was simple. The New Zealanders got the ball throughout, and the pace and combination of backs, who were constantly attacking, proved too much for the -Cheshire defence. Abbo tt quite confirmed his "home" reputation, an ooven if Wallace and Smith be unable to play next Saturday against Wales, M'Gregor and Abbott will make stieh splendid substitutes that, the strength of the third line will hardly be affected. 5 to 1 on New Zealand If Wales are destined to win on Saturday it will (says E. If. D. Sowell in the Evening Standard") be chietly owing to the "head" of Gwyn -Nicholls, no matter who scores the tries. One never sees this fine player on the Vgedl without wishing that we might put the iiiclock back once every year for at least one player. Every year Gnvyn Nicholls would receive most votes. As he stands oil- the third line he is a, delight to the eye, but when be begins to move then, indeed, does the keen "lover of the gr&nd old game realise that life is,, after a-i", well worth living. Burt., alas, for gallant little Walæ! there is, only one Gvjy n. Nicholls, and his football days- are drawing to. a close. And, judging by this., game as a. -whole, the New Zealanders, cannot ,I,o-,e ill Wales. They have only to show their ordinary form, as opposed to the top of their- form, to win. That is, of course, assuming Cardiff's unbeaten certificate to be the correct result of their labours in Welsh club football this season. Straight running men like the New Zealand-era will have :no more difficulty in going through the Welsh backs than they have had elsewhere on their tour, while the boring to touch propensities of the Welsh three-quarters, which were over and over again emphasisedat Blackheath, will not do much scoring against dashing opportunists such as the New Zealanders. The "cross kick" form of attack was done to death by Cardiff during the later stages of the game, and 'formed, in fact, their chief offensive weapon. The general opinion, of many very go-id, and also quite impartial, judges as I came away from the Rectory Field was 3 to 1 on New Zetland in any case, or 5 to 1 on a dry day without wind..The running across of the Welsh backs is the weak po-.nt in the Welsh football, to which it is not confined.

FISHGUARD QUAY FiRE An alarming fire broke out at Lower Fish- guard, owing, it is alleged, to a. boy applying a lighted match to an empty petroleum cask on the quay. Some twenty "empties" caught fire, the flames spreading with great rapidity, consuming in addition ten full bar- rels. a four-wheel trolly, and other material. The easterly wind confined the conflagration to the extreme north corner of the quay. Had the wind veered round to North the coasting samer Norseman, with a quantity 01 inflammable cargo, such as petroleum, on deck. must have fallen a prey, for the tide was out, rendering her removal impossibly In addition, the warehouse and closs upon 50 oil barrels would have shared a like fate.

The allegation that one hears often about,. the decadence of wnter racing was belied yesterday at Nottingham, for the attendance was a large one, and the weather was so gloriously fine that one felt it -was good to-! be alive under such circanistaueees. The fields were also abnormally jargv for the time of the year, no less than 66 horses taking part in the six events. Before racing finished, however, frost set in, but it will hardly be severe enough to stop racing to- day, for the authorities immediately took care to get the take-offs a-ud landing places i covered with straw.
