[ Poison in Medicine P I Poison in Medicine P I WIFE  WITH MURDER WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER At Watford on Wednesday Elizabeth Taylor, Aisylum-road, Leavesden, was charged with the wilful murder of her husband, Ernest Edward Taylor, at Leavesden, on June 22. Mr. Murphy, for the prosecution, .-aid it was alleged that the prisoner, from the 9th to the 14th of June, introduced spirits of salts into food and medicine given to the deceased. The parties were married fl t I Norwich, the prisoner having been a nur-e at the workhouse infirmary. Three or four yea.rs ago the deceased obtained employment as engineer at Leavesden Asylum. The prisoner took to drink, and last January was removed to an asylum. In a month she was released. The deceased left a diary recording his wife's threats of person a^ violence. When taken iil he complained that | she gave him something that burnt nis throat. On June 18 the prisoner took spirits of salts herself,, but was brought round by emetics. There were questions as to her mental condition, which will have to be con- sidered afterwards. Evidence of the neighbours was then called. Mrs. Pearce said the prisoner told her she would never forgive her husband for putting her away in an asylum. Dr. Barker stated death was due to irritant poisoning, but he did not think spirits of salts would have caused the symptoms. Dr, Cox said the symptoms were not com- patible with poisoning by spirits of salts. I. The prisoner, when charged, said, "I am innocent. She was committed for trial.

STORY OF A HALF-SOVEREIGN Cilfynydd Collier Sent for Trial I A charge of stealing half a sovereign was preferred against J. Hughes-Roberts, collier, Cilfynydd, at Pontypridd Police-court on Wednesday. The circumstanc.e8 were rather peculiar. It appeared from the evidence of Winifred Williams, an assistant to William Thomas, grocer, Richard-street, Cilfynydd, that defen- dant visited the shop on the 29th of September and asked for his account. This was given to him by the witness, who received half a sovereign in payment. The bill amounted to 5s. 9d., and fe. 3d. was given in change. Prisoner then left the shop, and witness looked for the gold piece on the counter and in the till, and, not being able to find it, sent a, messenger to inform Roberts, who at once returned to the place, and denied a.ll know- ledge of the coin, stating that he only had the change in his pocket that the young woman had given him. In cross-examination by Mr. Charles Matthews (Messrs. Montagu Grove r, and Matthews), who defended, witness admitted that she had searched everywhere, not being able to remember where she put it, after the bill had been paid. On prisoner being arrested, his wife said the coin might have been amongst his money, but her husband was the worse for drink, and, possibly, had-lost it. Prisoner was committed to quarter sessions, ball being allowed.

I Runaway Husband. A NEWPORT WIFE NEGLECTED A sad story of wife neglect was unfolded to the Newport bench on Wednesday, when a grey-haired man, named Thomas Calla.glliaii, giving an address at Cilfynydd, was charged on a warrant with running away and leaving his wife, Ellen Callaghan, who had been chargeable to the Newport Union since December 2, 1899, having incurred expense to the ratepayers amounting to £ 44. Mr. J. H. Griffiths, warrant officer, said the prisoner was understood to be dead and his wife a widow. Prisoner, who bad come to Newport on Bank Holidays, had never looked for his wife. The parties had been married nearly 30 years, but there were no children. Prisoner, who said he was 67 years of age, stated that since be did one month's im- prisonment in 1899 he had been constantly in and out of Tredegar Hospital.

I STOLE 62 BOTTLES OF STOUT I At Pontypridd Police-court on Wednesday I three young men, named Evan Morgan Thomas, Charles Morgan, and C. Williams, appeared before the bench charged with stealing 62 bottles of stout from the stores of the Newbridge Hotel, Pontypridd. The evidence was that Pol ice-constable Lee, I when walking down the mountain side, was attracted by the smashing of bottles, but when he was observed by the culprits they decamped. The officer gave chase, but the defendants had the advantage of about 50 yards start and eluded bim. He, however,, recognised Thomas and Williams as they passed under a gas lamp. Prosecuting his inquiries, Police-constable Lee discovered a ease of bottles which had contained stout in the field, a number of which had their necks knocked off and contents gone. Subsequently the officer found Williams sleeping down- stairs in his own house and Thomas and Wil- liams in a stable, all being more or less under the influence of drink. Thomas, against whom there were previous convictions recorded, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, and the other two defendants were fined Ll each.

I HOBBLER AND HI WIFE. I I (haven't earned my salt for two or three weeks, gentlemen." Such was the exclamation of Robert Crowe, a hobbler (or a "strapper," as he called himself), living with his son at 48, Lime-street. to the Newport magistrates on Wednesday, when charged with neglect- ing to maintain hie wife. Ellen Crowe, who had since the 22nd ult. become chargeable to the union. Mr. J. H. Griffiiths said the defendant sent his wife to the workhouse as a matter of convenience, and never intended to maintain her. Crowe interposed at this stage in a broken voice, "After 33 years married life I don't intemd to let 'her go by." Whatever this remark meant, it did not seem as though the parties were on the best of terms, for, on being ordered to pay 40s., or go to prison for one month, the defendant remarked, I can do it before I keep a woman like her." Crowe had, it transpired, been convicted for assaulting his wife four times.

I Local Marine Boards DENOUNCED BY SAILORS' M.P. Mr. J. Havelock Wilson, M.P., addressed a, meeting of sailors and firemen at Cardiff Dock Gates on Wednesday on local marine boards. The Cardiff Ijoca.1 Marine Board, he said, was managed by a committee of ten, of which seven were shipowners, and had control of the shipping offices. He (Mr. Wi1£on) got the Bo-ai-d of Trade to make a concession to the raJlors and firemen, and that was that where there was a dispute between the master a.nd the se-amt-n of a ship the seamen would have the right to invite a friend imlto the shipping office to state the case for them. That was a very rea»=)c-nia.ble proposal, because generally the captain, bad someone from the shipowners' or brokers' offices with him. The Cardiff Local Marine Beard bad passed a resolution defying the President of the Bm.rd of Trade, saying that they would no-t allow a sailor or fireman to ha.ve a representative present in the oaAe of dispute. He was not inclined to oomplain of this, because for long enough he had held the opinion that local marine | boamia were against the best interests of the men employed in the Mercantile Marine, and ought to be abolished. He made a speech to this effect years ago in the House of Commons, and now the shipowners had played into his hands. But he would like to we them stop him going into the shipping offices. They would have to use force—it might be a matter of chucking out-a,nd they might depend upon, it he would defend him- self, because he recognised the President of the Board of Trade as the supreme authority, and he defied the shipowners to put him out of the office. Parliament would meet on the 23rd or 24th of this month, and, whilst the shipowners thought they had by an underhanded trick wiped him out, he would be there, and one of the first things he intended to do was to propose that local marine boards should be abolished entirely. He proposed a resolution condemning the local marine hoards in failing to carry out the instructions of the President of the Board of Trade, calling upon Mr. Lloyd-George to insert a clause in the new Shipping Bill having for its object- the abolition of local marine boards, and also calling upon the member for Cardiff to support the clause when introduced. The motion was seconded and carried unani- mously. MR. HAVELOCK WILSON AT SWAN- SEA. A meeting was held at the Central-hall, Swanisea, on Wednesday for the purpose of hearing Mr. J. Havelock Wilson, M.P. Mr. John Williams, M.P., who presided, sa.id that neither Mr. Wilson, nor himself would hand down to posterity the hellish legacy of tyranny and oppression. Mr. Wilson gave some peculiar illustrations of the difficulty of organising seamen. He addressed an audience that day at Cardiff of which at least 200 were foreigners who did not understand a word of what he was saying. (Lfuughter.) Mr. Samuel Plimsoll was perse- cuted like himself, and had sixteen libel actions and sixteen others threatened at one time. Contributions were taken towards the fund to prevent Mr. Wilson's bankruptcy.

Boos started, and the first scrum was in tho home haM, Snowball dribbling through to the South Aincans' 25. The ball was neatly passed cut, but Le I-i-oux was grassed bv himpson. Now Northumberland approached the lIne, but the Springboks cleared, and Sampson was held in possession at the 2,p, when play was carried over the centre, and Stanger-Leathes made a mark, re-gaining lost ground. Hirsch .intercept1 ed and ran splendidly, his pass being marred by Hutchinson. The home teani slowly came down the field, but the Africans held them at the quarter line.

Again very pretty running by Jackson, Dobbin, and Krigo appeared certain to result in a score, out Krige's slow pass was lost. On the other wing Loubser ran in at the corner. Jackson failed at goal with a good kick. The game now became rather straggling, but the Colonials pulled themselves together, ?ntvP- ? S??x was collared outside the lino by Simpson. Fast. loo?e play took the ball to the South Africans' line, and Loubser saved in the nick of time. Immediate response was made, J.

Krige was next to get in, a.nd Jackson secured the major points. The next to score was Jackson, and J. Le Roux followed him ln' after being three times tackled. Roux goaled. Dobbin, Krige, and J. Le Roux were cneered for clever play, and then Krige ran in, Jackson missing the goal. The home team now made short visits to the centre, a.nd the crowd cheered, but the Colonials merely toyed with their opponents, and pretased at will. Loubser scored again, Jack- fe-cn converting.

Northumberland hOO never made a combined » and when the side showed up it was chiefly due to Simpson or to the excellence of Stanger-Leat'hes defence. Play became almost farcical on resuming, and three tries were run up in succession, the goal kicks all failing.

I attributed it B to draughts, cold, and sweating whilst 8 following my daily occupation in the 1 mine. 8 ) suffered intense pain and irrita- 8 tion. I have many times worked, or 8 sat preparing for my Sunday engage- 1 ments, in the greatest agony, and g sometimes I really did not know how g I would be able to preach or work at J! aH. After a service I was quite done I| up? I lost much sleep, and occa- 1 sionally had to stay away from work. B "I tried a French ointment and 1 other medicines, but did not notice any good results- It was the same i with the prescriptions of two doctors, 1 and their ointments were quite useless. |j Nothing my friends recommended me ] seemed to do any good. Both doctors B agreed that I would have to undergo 1 an operation, but objected. 1 I was never free for any length of 8 time during the six and a half years I 1 suffered. At length a friend showed 1 me a book about Zam-Buk, and i seeing a case like mine mentioned I H I! gave the balm a trial. I found it most soothing and cooling, and I it soon began to reduce the swellings. After the first box I |g felt a lot better, and continued dressings set me on my feet again, a I am now perfectly and permanency cured, solely by the use of I| Zam-Buk. gg Zam-Buk is invaluable for piles, eczema, ulcers, pimples, FREE BOX It boils, abscesses, rash, bad legs, swollen joints, sore .A dainty sample box will « iheads and hacks, festpring- eoreg, poisoned wounds, diseased be sent you if you cut out ankles, psoriasis, barber's rash, ringworm, cuts, bruises, this coupon and esnd it m burns, scalds, sprains, stiffness.

Everyone knows how exacting and responsible are the duties of a railway signalman. On his clear-headedness and quickness in moving the levers depenfl the safety of thousands of lives, a.nd it is a very serious matter when a pointsman, loses his health. Mr. W. Henry Owens is a signalman on the L. and N.W. Railway, and lives at 1, Railway Terrace, Padeswood, near Mold, Flintshire. An alert, intelligent, middle-aged man, Mr. Owens has endured many trials from digestive disorders, but now, thanks entirely to Bile Beans, he is enjoying the best of health. For two years I suffered from constipation and piles," he told a representative of the "Denbighshire Free Press." I was con- tinually ha.ving headaches and pains in my back, which made me feel very weak and my work anything but a pleasure to me. My appetite was affected, and my bright spirits vanished. Though I tried all sorts of medi- cine, nothing afforded me more than tem- porary relief. My twelve hours' work every day were hours of misery, and as I couldn't obtain relief I began to despair. Then a eample of Bile Beans was left at my house. I gave the Beans a trial, and the effect was magical. I felt better at oncc. After this I bought a box of Bile Beans, and received great benefit from them. I could go through my day's work with eaee and pleasure, my spirits were brighter, and my appetite was greatly improved. I continued to take Bile Beans for a month or two, and now I feel they have effected a complete and permanent cure. My cure is due solely to Bile Beans, and I can conscientiously recom- mend them to all who suffer as I did." Mr. W.
