I Passing Pleasantries. Typographical errors," said William. Dean Howelk-, the famous novelist, are always amusing. When I was a. boy in my father's printing office in Mar: in's Ferry I onoe made -a.ood typographical error. "My father had X,tten:- The sihowers last week, though copious, were not sufficient for the miilmen.' I set it up milkmen.' "Pa, what is a psychological moment?" asked a farm boy of his father. "A psychological moment? Let me see," said the farmer, meditatively. Well, now, did you ever notice your ma when she was hangin' out a washin'? Did you ever see the old clothes-line break and let the whole blame lot fall into the mud? Well, that's a psychological moment—a moment when you had better have urgent business at the barn."

NEW GREEK CHURCH. Foundation Stone Laid at Cardiff. The foundation stone of a new Greek Church at Cardiff was laid on Monday on a site between North Church-street and the West Junction Canal. The site is practically a gift from the Marquess of Bute, the ground rent being nominal. A description of the building, which will cost about £ 2,000 and accommodate 250 worshippers, has already been published. It was hoped that the Marquess of Bute would have laid the foun- dation stone, but as his lordship was unable to be in Cardiff on the date fixed, the function was undertaken by the Greek Consul, Mr. Miltiade Raphael, presideat of the committee, to whom a silver trowel, suitably inscribed, was presented by the architects, Messrs. James and Morgan, F.R.I.B.A., on behalf of themselves and the contractors, Messrs. Knox and Wells. The religious ceremony was performed by the Rev. Archimandrite Neopbilus, both in Greek and English, and blessings were asked for the King and Queen, Lord and La-dy Bute, Sir W. T. Lewis, Bart., and others who are engaged in the work. Among those present were the committee, consisting of Messrs. J. E. Stangala (chair- man), A. Callmicos, Demetrius Theophilatos, and Alex. Axarlis, and many Greeks from Cardiff and Barry. The resident Greek popu- lation of Cardiff is about 400, and the floating population nearly 300. This will be only the fourth Greek Church in this country, the others being in London. Manchester, and Liverpool.

Barry Drowning Case. JURY INVESTIGATE THE FATALITY I At the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton-Barry, on Monday Mr. E. Llewellyn Reece, district coroner, held an inquest on the body of Mr. Charles Masters, tailor and "draper, of 92, Main-street, Cadoxton, who was drowned on the shingle beach near the Bendriek Eocks, j between Barry Dock entrance and Suliy, on Saturday morning. Mr. Robert Masters, who gave evidence of identification, said his brother was 42 years of age. James Williams, insurance agent, said he was bathing with the deceased near the Ben- drick Rocks at 6.45 o'clock on Saturday morn- ing. Two young men, named Thomas Evans and Richard Trigg also came into the wa,ter a few minutes afterwards. Deceased was a' good swimmer, and the tide was about half flood. The weather was rough, but deceased j and himself had oftentimes bathed in rougher weather. Proceeding to make his statement, |j Mr. Williams said:— I jumped into the water, and deceased: followed in a minute or two. I had not i swum out far before I looked round, and deceased, who was following, said, I will not go out far this morning." I replied, "Very well, Charlie; I will come back." I swam about a little, and found that I had drifted away some distance, so that it took me more time to get back than to go out. The first inti- mation I had that anything was wrong was when. I heard one of the young men, who were bathing near us, call out that he thought my friend was in danger. I replied, Nonsense! I don't think so." Deceased wai then in the south end of the bay, and I was up at the north end, about 60 or 70 yards away. I could see his head, and I thought he was swimming strongly. I swam towards him, and called out, Come on. Charlie, swim this way." I again called out, but he seemed to take no notice of me. Ho seemed to be in a fit. His head was still on the surface, but lie did not seem to make any progress nor make the least sign of life. At this point witness broke down. Resum- ing his statement, ho said:- I continued to get towards the deceased as quickly as I could, but the current was so strong. As soon as I got to him I seized him by the arm, but he again seemed to take no notice of me. I called out to the young men who were bathing near, and ome of them, named Evans, came in cur direc- tion as quickly as he could, but before he could reach us I had loet hold of Charlie, and he had gone under. He seemed to go off as if in a fit. I was not present when the body was picked up. I was uo exhausted that it was with great difficulty I was able to come ashore myself. Thomas Evans, one of the bathers referred to, corroborated. Mr. J. E. Thorpe, brother-in-law of the deceased, asked Evans whether he made any attempt whatever at reecue. Witness replied that he did. He swam to the two men as quickly as he could, but before he got up to Williams the deceased had gone down. A juryman asked the coroner to be allowed to re-call Mr. James Williams, and in reply to Mr. J. R. Llewellyn Mr. Williams eaid that, in his opinion, the witness Evans did all he could reasonably be expected to do in the endeavour to rescue the deceased. The latter sank before he got to him. David Wiltshire proved the finding of the body an hour afterwards. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci- dentally drowned," and expressed the deepest sympathy with the bereaved relatives. They also expressed their admiration of the con- duct of Mr. Williams, who had done every- thing in his power to effect a rescue. The jury returned their fees to purchase a wreath to place on the coffin at the funeral to-morrow (Wednesday) afternoon.

WITNESS TAMPERED WITH pi Cardiff Solicitor's Complaint. I At Barry on Monday Mr. Harold M. Lloyd, solicitor, applied on behalf of Wil- liam Woods, blacksmith, who was last week committed for trial on a charge of theft of articles belonging to the Barry Railway Com- pany, for the return of certain articles which had been taken from defendant's house on behalf of the prosecution, but had not been produced in court. a The Bench said Mr. Lloyd should apply to th:, magistrates who heard the case at Pen- arth. Mr. Lloyd said he could take out a summons, but he had no desire to do that. There was another matter, Mr. Lloyd went on, which he desired to call attention to, one of the witnesses for the prosecution having been threatened, and taken to the police- station to make a, statement,which would alter his previous evidence as given in the deposi- tions. If it was correct that this witness had been tampered with, the consequences would be very serious for someone. The Bench made no comment on the matter.

EX-CARDIFF FOOTBALLER I Dies in South Africa. I There will be many in Cardiff who will hear with regret of the death at Pretoria on Satur- day of Mr. Tom Wolseley Gunstone, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gunstone, of Hamilton-street, Cardiff. Some twelve or fif- teen years ago Tom Gunstone was a well- known figure in junior football circles in Cardiff, and was very popular among all the phtyera of the local clubs of that period. Later, he emigrated to South Africa, and went through the Anglo-Boer War, in which he fought heroically. He was an uncle of the W. H. Gunstone, who last season played for Newport, and formerly for Cardiff.

CARDIFF CHILD RUN OVER. Mr. E. Ll. B. Reece, deputy-coroner, held an inquest at Cardiff Tbwn-hall on Monday afternoon on the body of Alice Driscoll, aged four, daughter of a stevedore named Florence Driscoll, and his wife, Johanna, who live at 24, Sandon-place. On Friday afternoon deceased was run over and killed by one of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers' flour trolleys. Her mother had just given the child a halfpenny, which she set out to spend, when the accident happened in Adam- street, which is adjacent to Sandon-place. Henry Woodley witnessed the accident and described it. The little girl was with two other children on the edge of the tramway. She made a dash for the other side of the road, when she struck against one of the horses and the wheels passed over her. The driver pulled up at once, and went to deceased's assist- ance. She was without delay driven in a milk-cart to the infirmary. The accident seemed quite unavoidable. Thomas Thorne, the driver, said deceased ran between the wheels, and only one wheel passed over her. The witness was driving slowly, and he pulled up smartly. Dr. Dobbins, assistant surgeon at the infir- mary, was of opinion that one wheel only passed over the small of the back, but no bones were broken. The jury returned a verdict .of "Accidental death," and acquitted the driver of blame. Mr. Thomas (Messrs. Macintosh and Dixon) watched the proceedings for SpillierB and Bakers, and on behalf of the firm expressed sympathy with the parents.

NEWPORT MAN REWARDED FOR BRAVERY. I At Newport on Monday the mayor (Mr. J. Liscombe) as the chief magistrate presented Samuel Grace, aged nineteen, of 59, Henry- street, Newport, with the certificate of the Royal Humane Society and 15s. in recogni- tion of his bravery in saving the life of a boy named WiHiam Morley, aged five years, of 63, Hewcrtsoai-street, in Crindau Pill, a creek of the River Usk, on the evening of June 20. The Mayor explained that the boy haod got much out of depth, and Grace plunged in with all his clothes on, except his boots, and not only succeeded in bringing him to bank, but assisted in the efforts-prolonged over three-quarters of an hour—of restoring res- piration. Grace thanked the mayor for the presentation.

i Tramway Wire-pulling., HOW CLIQUES AND COTERIES ] HAMPER OFFICIALS. Maintaining present time limits with so matay oars on eervioe must involve con- siderable strain upon the cars, and entail great annual expense for repairs, renewals, Stc. Much unproductive mileage and coai- sequent expense might be saved by easing the cars off during very quiet hours. I have frequently counted (writes Freelance," in concluding his present criticism of Cardiff City tram ways, commenced last. Monday and continued on Thursday) twenty cars passing into the principal city thorAighfares and ojjserved that the whole twenty did not con- tain one carload of passengers. This might occur anywhere on odd occasions, but it occurs here with nauseating frequency. Another cause of serious loss appears in the prevailing custom of catering so specially and extensively for the slight additional traffic attracted by bands in the various parks. Those in authority appear to have a mania. for flooding the town with special cars on way and every occasion that a band plays, a shower falls, a boat leaves the pier, or a, ball or reception takes place at one or other of the local halls. On such occasions a number of specials are rushed out and kept running for many hours, when the increased traffic (if any) only covers a. period of perhaps two hours, and is during that time so slight as to be easily dealt with by the ordinary service. I feel sure an enormous sum is lost annually in this way. The running of extra cars be- tween a. very frequent service, besides re- ducing, the earnings of regular cars, fre- quently causes delay and proves a source of irritation to regular travellers on business bent. Frequently have I watched 35 and 40 cars pass along Nimian-road on band days, when the whole number were not carrying eight car loads; this has occurred so often that the repetition becomes inexcusable and observers cease to marvel at poor returns. If the lessons of four years' working were taken seriously, and' facilities apportioned to needs on the basis of the city's steady ordinary traffic, Cardiff tramways would bear favourable financial comparison with the best in the kingdom. Where ten machines are occupied in doing the work of six, etriki'nigly favourable returns cannot be expected. The Sunday service also merits expert con- sideration, having, undoubtedly, figured largely on the wrong side of the ledger. Cardiff's Sunday tra c in winter barely covers a period of two hours, and in summer certainly not more than four and a half hours. Yet throughout the year we have a frequent and regular service for eight and a half houirs, with ofttimes a few specials at Church time for the highly pious ones, who, declaiming against Sunday oars, are now the principal users. If the thought and effort now wasted in endeavours to artificially increase Car- diff's tramway traffic were devoted to accurately fitting facilities to the actual needs and avoiding premature and wasteful expenditure the tramways returns would soon merit the approval of even the austere critics of the Ratepayers' Association. Similarly, if those who waste time Jg writing frivolous letters of complaint and making absurd demands on the management would utilise that time in sanely considering the actual needs of the city their complaints would be entirely different and more reason- able in character, and we should have fewer of the obnoxiously wasteful additions and alterations so frequently resulting from urgent requests of influential ratepayers." If Cardiff desires a continuous procession of cars for ornamental purposes, and can provide the funds to maintain it, the right to such processions is unquestionable. But if the tramway system is required to maintain itself and provide a surplus, all and sundry should realise that it is neither a public toy nor a philanthropic venture, but a serious business undertaking and valuable city asset, to be treated and controlled accordingly. Each district has its little coterie of in- fluential amateur tramway managers," all anxious to instruct the executive officials in their duties, provide men for vacant berths, aratd in, some oases, no doubt, press men upon them when there are no vacancies. These outside influences must considerably hamper the responsible officials, and cause them to do many things against their better judgment; such influences cannot be other than detrimental. Our officials are fully capable of attaining the greatest measure of success, but cannot do so if trammelled by the whims of indi- vidual councillors or ratepayers. If the management find that the traffic of one route necessitates an extra. car and put it on, officious and influential residents on other routes immediately clamour for a similar addition, ignoring the fact that their needs are greatly exceeded by existing facilities. Yet, the same people are usually first. in adverse criticism of any return which does not show huge profits. If they really are so concerned for the success of our tramway system, why not remove one serious draw- back and help them to ensure success by retfraiinimg from interference in control? Our officials need to be saved from their friends and definitely supported in bringing their knowledge and experience fully to bear upon the control of the system. We could then have economical, effective, and business-like control that would astonish some opponents of municipal trading at the end of a finan- cial year.

BROTHERS QUARREL OVER A PONY At Merthyr on Monday Thos. Jenkins and Samuel Jenkins, of Treharris (defended by Mr. Charles) were summoned for doing grievous bodily harm to David Jenkins, their brother, at Treharris, on the night of Thurs- day, the 23rd of August. The parties came from Cardiganshire, and ent-ered a pony in the East Glamorgan Show at Pontypridd. The pony failed to win a prize, and the same night prosecutor told Hamuel, the rider, that if .somebody else had ridden the animal it would have won. They had a scuffle, and fell against a window, and prosecutor sustained cuts a-bout* the shoulder. The prosecutor did not feel Inclined to tell how the injuries were caused, and the Stipen- diry, saying it was no use wasting the time of the court, dismissed the case.

WITNESSES FROM CARDIFF WANTED AT SOUTHAMPTON. An inquest was opened at Southampton on Monday on the body of Tom May Gatehouse, aged 21, fourth engineer of the Mitre liner Kenley, now lying in Cardiff Docks. It appeared that deceased returned to his ship on the night of August 8, and accidentally fell over something on board, and sustained severe scalds. He died ten days later from the effects. The inquest was adjourned till Thursday, to enable witnesses fro=,Car" to i attend. j

f-7,400 in Debt. I CLOSING OF A CARDIFF CHAPEL Financial troubles have at length led to the closing of the Central Congregational Church, Windsor-place, Cardiff, erected only a few years ago. From a newspaper adver- tisement the congregation learnt that Sun- day night's was the concluding service. For the electrical supply a considerable debt was owing to the Cardiff Corporation, whose officials during the week had cut off tho current. Much indignation at this action was expressed by the congregation, who had to listen to the ser- vice in the light of an oil lamp and two gas jets, supplied with gas used in connection with a magic lantern. It is understood that the Church is indebted to the extent of zG7,400, while the original cost oi the building, which was erected in 1901, was only £ 5,000. The mortgageee--a, big building society-are said 1'!1 be about to foreclose, and it is believed that future events will bear hardly upon some of the deacons and trustees, who are working men. It is stated that for some considerable time the Church has only been able to exist from hand to mouth.

I Coming to Cardiff AN ARMY OF GIPSY BEGGARS The destination of the German gipsies who have for the last few days been escorted by the police through Mid-Wales, and have now been handed over at Hay to the Hereford Constabulary, is Cardiff. The tribe separated at Shrewsbury, after having tramped from Scotland, where they landed, and this contingent-about 60 in rumber-ulade their way down through Mid-Wales on their way to Cardiff. They were conveyed by four caravans, but a number of them were walk- ing, and when not seen by the police they solicited money, cigarettes, tobacco, &c., from the wondering spectators. The chief appeal was: Give me von penny, kind jontleman"; aud even the little chil- dren begged cigarettes, while they would sing, Irish Mollis." 11 Stop yer tickling, Jock," Ac., for a copper. Hundreds of people followed them, some walking and some on cycles, while at every vxlJage crowds of People assembled to see them pass. The threatened invasion of Cardiff re-calls the visit of a crowd of dirty Russian gipsies to the city about six years ago, when the neighbourhood of Roath Park was selected as their camping groqnd- They arrived on Christmas Day, and Head-constable McKenzie immediately made arrangements for their removal to the workhouse. where they stayed for about a week. and were afterwards deported. A "Western Mail" representative saw the head-constable on Monday, and was thanked I for having brought the matter under his notice. "I shall now be prepared for them," said Mr. McKenzie. "It is difficult to know what course will be adopted to deal with them-it will depend upon the circumstances that will arise. But, in any event, they will not be allowed to remain in the city at all. If they are destitute they will be passed over to the workhouse. If they commit them- selves under the Vagrancy Act in any way they will be immediately dealt with as undesirable aliens, and steps will be taken for their repatriation. The pity is that it is too late to deaJ with the vessel that ■brought them to this country. There is no ground within the city upon which they can camp with the permission of private owners." The Glamorgan County Police have si&o received orders to move the tribe on where- ever thep appear inclined to rusticate.

Assault in a Train. TAIBACH WOMAN AND FOREMAN I SINKER Henry Rowe, a forenia-n sinker, 11, Park- street, Nantymoel, was summoned at Aber- avon on Monday by Sarah Ann Shirebush, of Wyndham-street, Taibach, for assaulting her in a railway carriage on July 30. Mr. Edward T. Evans prosecuted, and Mr. Lewis M. Thomas defended. Mr. Evans said that on the day in question complainant, who, kept a milliner's shop at Taibach, was travelling from Bryn to Aber- avon. Defendant got into the same compart- ment, and, it was alleged, assaulted her by putting his hand on her shoulder and knee. Complainant told him she was married, and had four children. Defendant then said he would pay her. Eventually he left off molest- ing her, and when they arrived at Aberavon she reported the affair to the station-master. This statement was borne out by com- plainant. Pressed by Mr. Thomas, complainant said she told defendant she was poor and had to work hard for a living. Defendant did throw her a penny, but she threw it back. Defendant was fined 40s. and costs.

SHEEP-DIPPING ORDER IN BRECONSHIRE. Three charges under the new sheep-dipping order for Wales were heard at Brecon Police- court on Monday. Thomas Jones, The Gaer, Aberyecer, was charged with causing sixteen sheep to be moved without a. declaration; Thomas Jones, jun., was charged with expos- ing the sheep for sale at Brecon Market without a. declaration; and Thomas Powell, Cwmgwenad, Aberyscer, was charged with making a false declaration. Mr. H. W. Ll. Harries prosecuted, and Mr. J. P. Jones Powell defended. At the outset the summons against Thomas Jones, sen., was withdrawn, there being an error in the charge, which should have been for exposing for sale. Mr. Harries said that the order was made for the eradication of sheep-scab, which had proved very destructive to flocks. Defendants had made themselves liable to the extent of 15 for each sheep, or £80 in all. Mr. A. Kenneth Kemble, inspector under the Board of Agriculture, said that as a result of these sheep-dipping orders there had been a reduction this year of nearly 50 per cent, in cases of scab. As a result of the present order Brecohshire farmers had been freed from many grievous restrictions, because previously they could not move their sheep into Radnorshire or Shropshire without dipping, whether it was winter or summer. The Mayor said the order had not been in force very long, and it was possible that many farmers had not become conversant with it. Under the circumstances, the bench would deal leniently with the defendants, who would be fined £ 1 and 18s. costs each.

I MOTOR-CYCLIST FINED AT LLAN- DAFF. I At Llandaff on Monday Walter Legg, of LLanidaff North, was fined 10s., including costs, for furiously riding a motor-cycle. Polioe-sergeant Thomas said defendant was going at least sixteen miles an hour, endangering other cyclists, and when called upon to stop did not do so. Later he stated he had lost control of the machine. Defendant informed the beach that that was actually what happened. However, he I bad only had the machine a fortnight, amd would see that it did not occur again,

NOMINATIONS FOR OFFICERS AND I COMMITTEES. An Important Agenda for the Coming Meeting. The agenda for the annual meeting of the Cardiff Football Club on Friday evening next will be found below. As has already bc-en announced, Mr. Percy Bush is the only nomination for the import-ant post of captain, and his re-election is certain to be extremely popular. Notable withdrawals from active participation in the affairs of the club will be Messrs. W. D. Phillips and W. Phillips. A surprise is the nomination of two gentlemen, Meissrs. W. M. Douglas and W. T. Morgan, for the presidency, and it is not unlikely tha.t one of the twain will retire. There is certain to be keen competition a.mon.g the twelve nominees for the seven seats on the committee. At least six of the old members are practically eetta-in of re-election, and should Mr. W. M. Douglas obtain the presidency there will then be two seats to fill. The moat favoured candidates are Messrs. W. M. Tunley and J. H. Gibby and Dr. Buist, and of these Mr. Tunley has rendered such splendid service to the club over a period of ten years that it would be .almost an act of ingratitude not to elect him. In fact, if all the promises hold good, he is sure of his place. The other probable vacancy will most likely lie between Mr. Gibby and Dr. Buist. There are several important proposed alterations of the rules. That relating to the suggested increase of the members' subscriptions to 12s. 6d. should be carried as a ma-tt-er of justice to the club, while Mr. C. S.

A CLEVER MUSIC TEACHER I /fill f Tells parents about a fact- An important fact for parents (and also for teachers and students) is to be gleaned trom a letter which reaches us from Miss Edith Rowlands, a music teacher. Most people will agree that a tired teacher means a worried pupil-the interest flags and attention wanders. Miss Rowlands was convinced that if, she herself was fresh, she could get better results from her pupils, and so she put her belief into practice with astonishing success. Our correspondent found her work was seriously hindered by the nerve disorders resulting from overwork, and ordinary medical attention having failed to relieve her, she decided to take a course of Phosferine. The famous Nerve Tonic adapts itself so perfectly to strengthening and restoring the nerve system, that Miss Rowlands was thoroughly cured, and can teach for long periods with a briskness and energy that compel success. Well worth considering. Miss Edith Rowlands, Ashley House, Harrow Road, Newport, Mon., writes-I should like you to know how much benefit I have derived from thl". use of your Phosferine. I am a music teacher by profession, and two years ago, as the result of over-study, I had a nervous break- down, accompanied with chronic indigestion. Last summer I grew very much worse, I had daily attacks of indigestion, particularly in the form of lfatulence, and I also suffered very much from hysteria, which rendered me utterly unfit for work. Altogether I had advice and treatment from four doctors, but received no real benefit. In October I com- menced taking your Phosferine regularly after meals, and since then have been slowly but surely improving; my digestion is very consider- ably better, the flatulence has practically left me, and I can now do a long stretch ot teaching, without the terrible feeling of over-wrought nerves I used to have. I am very grateful for the benefits I have received from Phosferine, and shall recommend it wherever possible. As I have a good deal of. brain work, I am still taking it, as I feel it is a preventive of further attacks.—May 3, 1906. PHOSFERINE The Greatest of all Tonics.

Mother Was to Blame." CONDEMNED BY HER CHILDREN "I am the mother of twelve children. and he is the father of ten of them. He has been married to me for 26 years This was pa,rt of the story told in the Newport Magistrates'- oourt on Monday by Sarah Levesconte against her disband, Walter Levesconte, of 54, Price-street, a boilermaker, whom she charged with assault. Mrs. Levesoomite said her husband beat her on Wednesday, amd rubbed her face over with his hands covered with soot after putting them up the chimney. Police-constable Cordey said when he went to the house on Saturday to execute the warrant defendant, after having it read to him, reached a razor down from the shelf. The corasta.ble took it from him, and asked him what he intended to do with it. I don't know what I might have done in the heat of passion," he replied, "but I am all right now." The woman was muddled in drink. Defendant interjected, and told the bench that in the heat of his passion at having been accused falsely he might have done away with himself. Two of the grown children, Bertie Leves- conte and Mrs. SuIIey (a daughter of the wife by her former hucband), spoke of the woman being greatly addicted to drink. They thought their mother was to blame. The Bench in the result decided to bind both over to keep the peace, but they told the wife that she had provoked her husband very much. mm, i, im )
