jLeap from Eiffel Tower. I I Leap from iffel Tower. I -AM ERICAN'S TERRIBLE DEATH. .Paris, Saturday Morning.-The Eiffel Tower was the scene of a trfrible tragedy yester- day evøning. A visitor to Paris, named August Brauin, ascended, in the company of some friends, to the second platform of the tower, and, without giving wa-ruing- of his intention, suddenly leapt over the odge. His body struck the first platform, 260 feet below, death being instantaneous. Braun was of German nationality, but a. naturalised American subject, living- at 113, Elder-street, Cincinnatti. He is said to have been strange in his conduct during the last few days.— Central News.

ICARDIFF NEW TOWN-HALL SERIOUS DELAYS: THE CHAIRMAN I DISGUSTED. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE TELE- PHONE SYSTEM. Alderman David Jones presided on Friday I at a meeting of the telephone com- mittee of the Cardiff Corporation, the meet- I ing having been called to re-consider the tenders of the National Telephone Company and the Post Office for installing the tele- phone system a.t the new Town-hall and Law Courts. The National Company quoted an annual ZCSBO 15s. for an unlimited ærvioe. or f 773 5s. with an additional measage rate. The Post Office quoted £ 1,212 6s. for a service which was partly unlimited and partly at a.! message rate. The Chairman spoke bitterly of the delay I there had been on this question. He was tired, he said, of coming there continually to see no progress made. He was disgusted with the whole thing. They had promised that the Town-hall should be opeiied in July. As they were going o.n now, it would not be open in July of next year. Mr. Courtis regarded the rentals asked by the company and the Poet Office as exorbi- tant, and asked why the corporation could not, with their competent eleotrical staff, make its own installation, in the Town-hali- buildirfes, and aek the company and the Post Office what would be their charge for con- necting this installation with their system. Mr. Lanchester (the architect) said he very much questioned whether the National Com- pany or the Post Office would consent to I connect their system with a private imitalla- tion; further, whether if it were carried out it would be worth the while of the committee. Mr. Courtis: We can see what they say. Alderman Carey pointed out that if they ga ve permission for the laying of wires underground they would receive JE500 a. year from the National Telephono Company as way leaves. Mr. Courtis: Yes, but we shall get that whether we accept their tender or no. Mr. Chappell said that £ 3C0 should not be regarded as any consideration. The laying of the wires underground would enhance the value of the National system, and when the system was purchased by the Government the taxpayers would have to pay for it. Alderman Mildon moved that the tender of the National Telephone Company be accepted, and Alderman Carey seconded. There was some discussion on the discovery that the question of underground wiring had been connected by the company with the terms of their tender. The committee preferred to deal with the two questions separately, and passed two resolutions. The first accepted the company's tender of £ 880 15s., stipulating that the work should be completed in three months; the second agreed to the laying of underground wires, and empowered the town-clerk to negotiate with the company on the basis of a payment of 5s. per wire, the scheme agreed upon being subject to the approval of the public works committee, the city engineer, the electrical engineer, and the waterworks engineer. CARDIFF CITY ARMS. I A number of casts of seals of the De Clare family, formerly Lords of Cardiff, were laid before the Cardiff Records Committee on Friday by Ur. Ballinger, chief librarian, who suggested that they should be photo- graphed and included in the index volume of the city records. He acknowledged the assistance given by Mr. J. S. Corbett in com- pleting the list of seals of the Clare family. Those now submitted were of the twelfth and thirteenth century, bearing the chevrons used in the city arms, and supports such as appeared on the borough esa-1 up to the end of the seventeenth century, when they were surrendered, and have not been used since. The casts were obtained from the British Museum. On the motion of the Chairman (Alderman E. Thomas), it was resolved that the seals be photographed for inclusion in the records and be then sent to the Welsh Museum. WEEK-END TICKETS TO LONDON. The Town-clerk of Cardiff stated at a meeting of the Parliamentary committee on Friday, over which Alderman David Jones pre- sided, that the inhabitants of Newport were able to take week-end tickets to London, but Cardiff people had no such facilities afforded them. He suggested that the Great Western Railway Company be approached on the matter by the corporation and chamber of commerce, a.nd that they be asked to issue cheap da.ily tickets to and from London, an advantage which the inhabitants of Birming- ham now possessed.—A resolution embodying the town-clerk's suggestion was adopted. Mr. Chappell stated that the Great Western Railway Company issued cheap tickets from the Western Valleys of Monmouthshire to Cardiff on Wednesdays, when the shops were closed in the city. He proposed that the company be asked to issue those tickets on Thursdays, which was the early closing day ¡ in those valleys. The proposition was I adopted. ADVERTISING CARDIFF. I The same committee decided the terms ot a competition a.mong professional and amateur photographers for the best ten views of the town, including Llandaff Cathedral, to be placed in railway carriages. Mr. Sam Allen was appointed adjudicator. JEWS AND ALIES IMMIGRATION. At the same committee the Town-clerk reported that he had written to the Home Secretary pointing out that no provision had been .made for representation of the Jewish community on the Aliens' Immigration Board at Cardiff. He had received a reply to the effect that the Home Secretary would be glad to consider any nomination from the corporation. Alderman E. Thomas said there were two Jewish societies at Cardiff, and he propo&ed that they be asked to select a representative. Alderman Carey: Why not nominate Mr. Isaac Samuel; we all know him? Alderman Mildon: I don't think there is a very good feeling existing between the two societies. Alderman Carey: If we make our own nomination we shall prevent them quarrel- ling. It was agreed to allow the Jewish com- munity to nominate their representative. ASYLUM ARBITRATION: A WAFNHNG. At a meeting of the Cardiff Asylums Com- mittee on Friday, Mr. F. J. Veall, the chairman, mentioned the recent arbitration proceedings between the corporation and Messrs. Firth and Co.. the contractors for the electric wiring and lighting at the Whitchurch Asylum. The members of the sub-committee desired to accord their appreciation of the work done in preparing their case by Mr. Cecil Brown (deputy-town-clerk) and Mr. Arthur Ellis, and of the manner in which the case was con- ducted by Mr. John Sankey. Alderman Edward Thomas feared that 11r Sankey would not appreciate the compliment. It would be better not to do anything in the matter. Several members considered it was better that nothing should appear on the minutes, and that the informal expression of thanks by the members at that meeting would be as much appreciated by the persons concerned as a resolution. Accordingly, no motion was put. ?n reply to Dr. Robinson, the Chairman said the award might be expected -in a fort- night or longer. Alderman Jacobs: Be prepared for a dis- appoiutmeut, gentlemen.

Perilous Trip to Paris! I 53 HOURS UNDER A TRAIN. One of the most extraordinary journeys on record was performed by a man who arrived at Paris on the Orient express from Con- stantinople yesterday. As the express drew into the railway terminus one of the railway officials sudde,nly shouted: "There is a dead man on the bogie of the restaurant car." Investigation was promptly made, when it was found that the man was not dead, but asleep, with his overcoat, wrapped around his face. He was awakened (says the Daily Express"). and a, moment afterwards, dishevelled and grimy, he crawled out on the platform. "Hungry! hungry!" he said several times in German to the crowd of officials who surrounded him, pointing, at the same time, to his mouth. Food and drink were supplied, and when he had consumed them he was keenly interrogated by one of the restaurant car officials. "I am a. Roumanian," he said. "My name is Dimitri Bouzilas, and I am a. vine grower by trade. I came from Constantza, a port on the Black Sea. I took the boat from there to Constantinople, hiding myself in the coal hole of a ship because I had no money. From Constantinople to Paris I have travelled under the kitchen of the restaurant car. I chose the kitchen, because I thought it would be warmer, but it was terribly cold all the way. I had no food or drink with me, and I could not have, eaten it even if I had it, for I dared not move." If the man told the truth his adventure has been a marvellous one. His journey under the train must have lasted fifty-three hours, for the express left Constantinople at 2.20 on Wednesday morning, and reached Paris at 7.30 this morning. The man made himself understood with difficulty, so that the full story of the terrible journey could not be told. He has been locked up for examination, and is to be sent back to Roumania in a day or two.

The Paris Disturbances A GENERAL MISSING. Paris, Saturday.—The Journal" publishes a telegram from Toulon stating that the general of the local garrison believed to have been implicated in the reported plot against the Republic has left the country. The Echo de Paris announces that the Anarchists Poucet and Morel have been arrested in connection with the disturbances on May 1. Nineteen of their companions escaped. The two men violently resisted arrest,, and it took several policempn to secure them.—Reuter.

ECHO OF A SCANDAL. I General Oa.ffia.rel was stabbed by a. man G.enleraI Oa,ffia.reI was st.a:b b0d by a man in the street at Paris last- night wihle cn his way home. He fell to the ground in a pool of blood ctini-I f,a-i-nit,ed. A few mi mutes after he- oovered and managed to drag himself to ca.b, in wthich he was taken to the hosiltal. General Oaffarel will be remembered for hiiis oownection with the decoration scandal in 1887. He was then on the General Staff at the Ministry of War, and was proved to hiave trafficked in the Legion of Honour. His chief agent was a Mine. Limouzi n, who paxssed the crosses to her clients, who paid handsome fs-es to. the general. General Oaffarel was casiiired, his being erased from t.he army liat.s and struck off the lists of 1-h,e Legion of Honour.

WAR STORES SCANDAL I The Commission appointed to investigate the sales and refunds to contractors in South Africa at the close of the wa.r resumed its sittings at the Law Courts on Friday. The President (Mr. Justice Farwell) inti- mated that uow that they v,ere about to hear witnesses the conduct of some of whom had been impugned, he wished it to be known that the Commission could grant certificates of indemnity to persons who made full and true disclosures of all matters within their knowledge. Several quartennaut-eirs and a, number of sergeants who saw service in the South, African War were called. They were con- nected with the supplies and accounts and I their attention was called to allegation'which had been made to the effect that they received hrihe.s. from contractors. These were alleged to amount- to C20 and £10 a month The witnesses absolutely denied that they received any money from contractors. The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday next. j

THE COST OF SWANSEA I WATERWORKS. ¡ Speaking at a. meeting in support of the candidature of Mr. Ruthen for the Ffynone Ward. Swansea, Mr. Martin, who presided, said it was a source of satisfaction to him that the cost of the Cray undertaking would not be what some of them feared it would be. The resident engineer had gone into the figures, and the result would work out, having regard to "extras," £ 17,000 cheaper than if Messrs. Paterson had done the work and £ 32,COO cheaper than if Sir John Aird and Sons (Limited) had the contract. ¡

SERGEANT AND COLONEL. I The court-martial at the headquarters, Aldershot, for the trial of Staff-Sergeant Grainger, of the Army School of Signalling, for making false accusations against his com- manding officer, knowing such charges to be false, re-assembled on Friday. Counsel urged that the prosecution had to prove that the prisoner knew the accusations he made were false, and the court eventually found him not guilty. He had stated that I from the way he had been treated he had come to the conclusion that Colonel O'Leary, bis commanding officer, had instigated the sergeant-major to make his life a misery and to persecute him.

A MISADVENTURE IN ST. MARY- STREET. There is, at any rate, one person in Cardiff -and she a lady and a foreigner-who does not know Police-sergeant Bingham. The lady is Rebecca. Greenbaum, 25, described by Court-officer Price at the police-court on Friday, as one of these Gorman Jews who have been in Cardiff about six months." Poiice-sergeant Bingham said that at 9.30 on the previous night he was on duty in plain clothes in St. Mary-street, and saw prisoner and another woman coming down the street. She appeared to speak to two men near the Queen's Hotel, and presently she came up to him and accosted him. He told her that he was a police-officer, and would have to arrest her. She appealed to him not to do it, and ran away, but witness caught her. The sentence was seven days, and it filled the girl with dismay. I will pay the vine," she kept on saying, and was greaUy sur- prised at the refusal of the court to take money.

30 MILES AN HOUR. Before the Llantrisant magistrates on Friday William James Case, of Penarth. was summoned for furiously driving a motor-car at Crossvane oji April 7. Mi*. Shackell, of Cardiff, defended. Police-constable Phillips' spoke to seeing the car driven by defendant, parsing through Crossvanc at the rate of 3C miles an hour. He timed the car, and found that it covered a distance of 1,403 yards in 66 seconds. Some children were playing on the road at the time, and the car narrowly missed running over one in particular. Robert Hawkins, a civilian, confirmed the evidence of the constable, raid stated that the car passed within a foot of one of the children. The defence was that the car was not being driven at a furious rate. The magistrates, however, imposed a fine of x5, including costs.

LORD ROBERTS AND THE RATIONS. I Those in South Africa, during the war will remember a good story circulated concern- ing Lord Roberts and a Canadian trooper who had looted fowls. The man was stopped by one of Lord Roberts's staff, who shouted: For goodness sake, hide those fowls! I/ord Roberts is just behind us, and he will have you ehot." But the Commander-in-Chief was already too near, and he rode up to the man with a black look. When, did you get those fowls?" he said sternly. Sir," interjected the staff officer, the man says that he hoard you were on short rations, and was bringing you them for dinner." Very kind, I all sure," said Lord Roberts; "much obliged to you." He passed on, leaving the trooper struggling with emotion. It is understood (says the Windsor ") that "Bobs" ate the fowls that night.

At Pembroke Dock Bankruptcy-court on Friday John Pierce, a tailor and outfitter, of Pembroke Dock, was examined. His accounts showed a deficit of £207. He alleged his failure to be due to want of capital, higli rent, bad debts, great depression in trade owing to dischargee from his Majesty's Dockyard, and illness in family.

I TO-DAY'S CRICKET. I I The Tykes at Cardiff We have been asked to announce that in the event of South Wales being dismissed eairly to-day (Saturday), Yorkshire will go in again, and that there will be a full day's cricket. However, with a probable improve- ment in the wicket, it is likely that South Wales will do very much better in their second innings. [Result of corresponding match in 1905 :-Yor).;s!lire, 113 and 119; South Wales, 84 and 78. Yorkshire won by 70 runs.] After the disappointment of Thursday I play was started in this interesting match at Cardiff soon after noon on Friday. Considering the perfect deluge of rain which had fallen, the turf had dried admirably, but the pitch was likely to wear badly later on. Mr. J. H. Brain won the toss, and the South Walians started batting, E. R. Sweet-Escott and Silverlock going in to face the bowling of Hirst and Rhodes. The trundling warl difficult, and Silverlock, of whom much was expected, quite failed to settle down, and when he had made a trio of singles he was out to a very simple catch by Myers at cover point. This occurred with the total at 9, and with no addition Hirst was nicely stumped by Doluhin. The first two wickets had both fallen to the last batsman's namesake. Another mishap came a moment later, for, after Sweet-Escott had been in half an hour, and had batted with great care for 8, he put up a ball very gently to Rothery at short slip, and had to retire. The bowler in this oaee was Rhodes. The total now stood at the fatal 13, but, apparently, it did not presage immediate further ill-fortune, for when Diver 1 Came in be quickly hit a boundary off t Rhodes with a beautiful on-drive. Bancroft followed suit with a graceful stroke to the pavilion palings off Hirst, and then Diver got another boundary off Rhodes. A big drive to the long field by the same batsman should have yielded another four, but tne ball was well stopped by the long field. The 30 was telegraphed in forty minutes, and, with two runs added, Bancroft, who was beginning to hit vigor- ously, was dismissed. The previous ball he sent to within a yard or two of the boun- dary, and this tempted him to try another hard slog at the next ball, with the result that he skied the ball. and Lord Hawke, I running in from mid-on, easily caught him. Diver and A. G. Thackeray, mainly by singles, carried the tota,l to 43, and then the latter was caught at mid-off by Hirst off Rhodes. When Russell joined Thackeray a change in the bowling was tried, Haigh re- lieving Hirst. Russell was out 1 b w to Rhodes before he had scored, and soon after J. H. Brain had joined Diver the latter was bowled with a beautiful ball by Haigh, which removed his off stump. Creber next came in, and it looked as though the South Wales innings would end before lunch. At this stage Myers displaced Rhodes at the plantation end, and Creber left with the total remaining at 47. The little Swansea bowler was palpably uneasy with Ba-igh s trundling, a.nd soon had his wickets spread- j ea.gled. trundlingv, \'ith a couple of extras and a single by Nash the total was carried to the half- century, and then J. H. Brain was out 1 b w to Haigh, after only making a. single. Steeples was out with the next ball, and the innings ended at half-past one for 50 runs. Yorkshire began their first innings at a quarter to two with Tunnicliffe and Rothery, the bowlers being Creber and Steeples. Each batsman soon got a boundary, aud when the luncheon interval came the total stood at 17 for no wicket. Only one run was added after lunch, when Rothery was caught a.t the wicket by Diver, off one of Creber's tricky slows. This feat was applauded by the crowd, which had now increased to respectable dimensions. Denton joined I Tunnicliffe, and the pair batted steadily and well, taking no risks with the bowling. Den- ton hit a trio of fours, and by a quarter past three th-e total had been carried to 60. A hard drive by Tunnicliffe produced five runs, Thackeray, who touched the ball with the tips of his fingers, thinking it would go to the boundary, a.nd neglecting to run for it. Nash, who had gone on howling after lunch, had up to this time sent down eight overs for only 17 runs. With the total at 80 Creber a.gain took up the trundling a.t the plantation end, vice Steeples, who had received considerable punishment. After Creber's resumption of the bowling, the rate of run-getting slowed down appre- ciably, but the 90 was telegraphed at 3.40. No wicket having fallen, Kussell replaced I Creber at S7. A boundary by Tunnicliffe sent up the century at 3.46, and "long John" completed his half-century with a couple to the leg off Nash three minutes later. Up to this point Nash had bowled fifteen overs, I and only had an average of two runs an over knocked off his trundling. It was now evident that the South Walians were in for a lot of leather hunting, and runs were put on rapidly. At 132 Silverlock was put on instead of Russell, and with eleven runs added he brilliantly caught and bowled Tunnicliffe, taking the ba,ll low down with I one hand. In his total of 65 were included five 4's and one five. Grimshaw joined Den- ton, but only one run had been added when Sweet-Escott caught the latter at cover- point—144—3—58. There was a burst of applause when the popular George Hirst came out to join Grimshaw. The sturdy Yorkshire batsman did not remain long at the wicket, for he Wab soon caught by the wicket, Silverlock, amd five runs latex Grimshaw also left, being well taken by Sweet-Escott. By steady and skilful batting Rhodes and Rudston carried the total from 161 to 191 at ten minutes to five, and the, bowling of Silverlock and Nash seemed to have been completely colla,red. At 197 Rud- ston was stumped by Diver off Silverlcok, and, after Creber had badly missed Haigh: t.he latter was well bowled by Nash. Rhodes and Myers were then together. With a single Rhodes sent up the 200 a.t five minutes past five, and a few runs later was badly missed by Steeples off Nash at mid-on. After Nash had bowled 33 successive overs lie was taken off ill favour of Russell, who captured Myers's wicket with his third ball, while almost immediately after Silverlock clean bowled Dolphin. At half-past five the Yorkshire total stood at 229 for nine wickets. Rhodes completed his half-century, and, at the same time, sent up the 250 at a quarter to six. With Rhodes and Lord Hawke con- tinuing to put on runs steadily for the last wicket, a double change was tried in the bowling, Steeples and Creber displacing Rus&pll and Silverlock. The two last bats- men could not be shifted, and when stumps were drawn at six o'clock the total stood at 263 for nine wickets. Score:— SOUTH WALES.

I SWANSEA V. liAMPETEE COLLEGE. THe cricKet season opens at Swansea to-day with a match by the seniors against Lampeter College. The season has usually commenced with a match against ttie District league. The Lampeter oallegians were not met by Swans.ea at all last season. Swajig-ea will not be able to present a representative side. Stanley Bees, Dr. Cameron, Bancroft, a,;d Creber not being available, and there will be opportunities, therefore, for the reserve talent to make a bid for notice. Swansea cricket for years has been as tame and humdrum as the Budget. It depends on the youngsters to show that this is not to be the case for ever.

I TESTIMONIAL TO S. M. J. WOODS. I A movement, with Major Banning a.t its I head as president, and Mr. Willie Morgan, yminer, as lion, secretary, i3 already well unaer weigh to present to Mr. S. M. J. Woods, of Somerset, a sum of money as a, testimony of the esteem in which he is held in the world of sport The testimonial is not con- nned to cricket, and there oamnot be any dou bt thai it will be h?rt.i)y pa.t.r<xus?d. The idea is to appoint well-known ?ntle. men in the various districts as local trea- surers for the fund. In Yorkshire, for example, Lord Hawke will act in 1,11at capa- city, and he has promised his heartiest sup- p-ort. In Glamorgan Mr. J. H. Brain has ^romi^-ed to act as local treasurer Promi. nent gentlemen, too, are being approached to act i;i tne various Engli,sh counties. Already considerable support has been given to the movement, and the books cli-eady out contain subscriptions ranging from £ 1Q0 to Es To South Walians S. M. J. Woods elands for an that is good 111 cricket and football He has appeared 011 a few occasions on the Cardiff Arms Pa.rk, and his mighty hitting and fasu bowling have attracted large and enthusiastic crowds. In football he appeals even more to the Welshman, a.nd there are few followers of the game who will not remem- ber the fatal day at*Swantsea when. as captain of the English side, Woods led that irresis- tible pack of English forwards that brought disaster to Wales. Woods at his best wis an ideal forward, heavy and clever, feist a.nd not. to be denied. Probably, in his day Smud" Woods was one of the t?st for- wards England has ever had.

THE BOBBINITE INQUIRY. At the flitting held on Friday at the Home Office of the inquiw mto the uæ of bobbinite in collieries, Mr. H. Cunyngham, Cn., in the chair, evidence of colliery workers with regard to the use of the explo- sive in Welsh pit. was taken. Mr. J. B. Morgan, a member of the Anthra- cite Miners' Association, said that in his dis- trict it was especially adapted for coal- getting. They depended altogether on blast- ing. Every explosive on the permitted li-.t ihad been tried, and there was not one to conipare with bobbinite. If bobbinite were prohibited the men's was would be affected i to the extent of 3s. to 4s. in the £ Out of thirteen collieries eleven used bobbinite exclusively. He represented -),bout 10.000 men. Confirmat.or;v evidence from miners and evidence of directors and managers having been taken, the Chairman announced that the Committee would adjourn for the pur- pose of experiments being performed, after which they would meet again.

WITHIN THE WAR ZONE. I ENGLAND AND THE NEGOTIATIONS I AT ALGECIRAS. I Field-marshal Sir George White, respond- ing to the toa-st of "Tho Imperial Forces" at the annual dinner of the London Cham- ber or Commerce on Friday night, said that during the progress Of the ?g?ti?tioms at Algeciras we were within not oniv the possi- bility of wa.r. but within the zone of ite great probability. He Urged the importance of a competent army In readiness for any emergencies.

KILLED WHILE TRESPASSING. N CI. At an inquest held on Friday on the body of John Abbott, an employe at the Mannes- in aim Works, who was killed on the Midland Railway at Upper Bank, near Swansea oil Thursday, a verdict of "Accidental death whilst trespassing on the line" was returned, no blame being attached to the driver of I the engine.

WINDSOR MEETING! Starters and Selections i WINDSOR, Saturday Morning. Very little interest wais mani feted in the second classic rael, of the season—the One Thousand Guineas-at Newmarket yesterday, and, with the weather very unsettled, the attendance on the Heath only numbered a few hundreds. As was generally predicted, Flair won very easily in fast time-in fact, the time has only been beaten once, and that by Sceptre. To-da.y'B Windsor programme can be d('1lt with very briefly. In the first place, the Royal Cattle Handicap received a very bad entry, and all but seven went out under payment of the minor forfeit. Alec Taylor is usually very lucky in the JS500 handicaps at Windsor, a.nd to-day his choice in Hathor gelding, who last season had a very fair, if not very consistent record, and I expect the issue will be confined to Hatlicr gelding, Challenger, a.nd ST. OSWALD. The latter has to put up a, 51b. penalty for I winning at Newmarket, but this will not i stop him. Challenger will most likely start favourite. In the Romney Handica-p NELL H. should prove good business. Detailed selec- tions follow :— Romney Hanidica,NELL H. Speedy Plate—CANNON BALL. Two Year Old Plat<>—LIGHTNING.

NO SLEEP FOR 56 HOURS. I A Walton-on-Tliames carman was sum- moned at Brentford for riding asleep on his van and wilfully obstructing a tramcar. The evidence showed that he travelled slowly in front of the car for a distance of nearly a mile. Eventually a policeman was called, and it was then found he was asleep. Shoe- bridge told the Bonch that he began work at 4.0 o'clock on the Thursday morning and continued until he was stopped at noon cn the Saturday. He had thus be-en at work for 56 hours. For being asleep the defendant was fined 10s., but the bench held that as he was asleep he did not "wilfully" obstruct the car, and thie summons was dismissed.

JEWELLER'S SOCIAL AMBITIONS. I i The fantastic career of a Bond-street f jeweller v.-ho made himself a baron by main force of his wealth and his wits was re-called in a case which appeared before the Court of Appeal. Mme. Eugenie de Sourdis and her hue- band, M. David de Sourdif, a Paris banker, applied for relief from the provisions of a marriage settlement made in England in 1882 by the lady's late father, Emmanuel Baron d'Almeida. This gentleman began life as an English I Jew, with the name of Harry Emmanuel, and he kept a jeweller's business in Bond- Btreet, which he afterwards sold to his manager, Sir. Edwin Streeter, and retired with a great fortune. It then became Mr. Emmanuel's ambition to enter society, but, in spite of his money he did not succeed to the extent he desired So he moved to Parit, took a big house and bought the Portuguese title of Baron d' Almeida, dropping the name of Harry Emmanuel. Having thus elahorately fortified hi." posi- tion, he got himself appointed Minister in Paris of the mulatto Republic of San Domingo. Being now a full-blown member of the diplomatic corps, he had no further difficulty in obtaining entry into the best Paris clubs s t. Paris clubs and the best society, where, of oou, as plain Harry Emmanuel, of Bond-Street, he would have been rigorously barred. More- over, he received the decorations of the, Spanish Order of Isabella and the Catholic and the Portuguese Order of Christ. The appeal was from a decision of Mr. Justice Buckiey, who refused to set aside a provision in the English settlement which prevented a mortgage being raised. The Court of Appeal granted the application, ruling tba,t the provision was never intended by the parties when the marriage settlement was made. ¡ It was accordingly set aside.

Baseball Begins To-day I BY "SPOKES." Last Monday's general meeting (if the .^ixith Wales and Monmouthshire Baseball Association was a notable one. The alterations to the rules will have beneficial effect on the game. To-day the league contests start. There will he only one umpire for oaeh match, and in every case the umpire or referee will be independent of both clubs. The Roath Welsh Baseball Club are patriotic. Their war-paint will include a lefek for each player. The Welsh have selected the following offlcials :-Chairman, Mr. Tom Raynor: captain, Mr. F. Smith; hon. trea- surer. Mr. G. Taylor; hon. Mi. ('. c. Harding 52. Richards-terrace, Cardiff. The season opens to-day when Cardiff City is -to be met. The citizens are pretty confident of vitory but the leek wearers are sure to be in a t the death. Cardiff Ropery last week showed great Improvement on the previous Saturday's display. Richards, the backstop, gave a faultless display. Union and Caevell'a bowling was very creditable. The Rope men are sure to gi\ c the older clubs a bit of trouble before the .season closes. Skipper H. Richards and Vico-captaia R. Carnell have some promising colleagues. The president is Mr. H. D. Stcifano. Grange Windsors played last Saturday, and were chiefly engaged in dodging the "hewers of rain, and, as a. result, the nafttch was unfinished. The Windsors batted twice, and their total reached 110 runs. The feature of the game was the batting- of Griffiths and the smartness of Green. "Buzzer" Green, as he ia called, is the youngest, backstop in the first league, and has not an equal, bar, perhaps, his namesake, who "buzzes" for the league clla.mpion&-Gra.agetown. Mr. A. C. Stanley, the hon. wc. of St. Gorman's B.C., informs me that the idea with which the "buzzing'' section was formed was to keep the club'a Rugbv players together. Other Rugger and Soccer clubs might take the hint. The officials of St. Ger- man's are:-Captaiii, W, Ballinger; vice-captain G. Morrhs: hon. treasurer and secretary, A. ti. Stanley, The club have already twenty playing members. There is every prospect of a goxl season. The selection com- mittee is composed of -Messrs. C. Harris, F. Morrnt. joy, and F. Hiii, with the officers. Canton was the oniv team to go through last season without a defeat. The club did not, of course, play all the first-clatfs club;. This year, however, being in hi. lirst division of the league, the dervishes will have to meet all the leading clubs. Canton are con- fident that they will carry out their list of fixtures with credit to their numerous supporters. Canton's | officials are :-Captain. Josh. Bartlett: vice-captain, R. Pook hon. &3C" Louis Person; treasurer, A. Scott; 11. Jirkson. E. Hollo way. C. R. Stephens, Jack Bartktt, D. Stanley, and D. Martin, with the officers. j Canton are lucky in inducing Mr. Louis Person to accept the hon. secretaryship, Mr. Person last seasoa was the National Telephone's Baseball Club's scribe. The- Cardiff City Club bold two practices in each week—1 uesdays and Thursdays. On Monday", May 21 tns club intend holding a smoking concert, so that all the members ma.y meet together. The citizens have a field in W. Pryor, and very useful batters in W. Moi. sish and D. Davey. The secretary of the club is the well-known baritone. Mr. R. J. Hemmings. Captain D. Davfes leads the Cardiff Central B.C. this season. His deputy is Chick. Mr. A. J. Her- bert, 1. Percy-Street. Cardiff, is the worthy hon. -,m The club exi)?ts a good season.
