At Christmas time it is assumed' that the favounite bird is a turkey, but larks are in great request.

STUDENT'S CRUELTY TO GIRLI
STUDENT'S CRUELTY TO GIRLI Henri Pecmans, a, pseudo student, living in the Latin quarter of Paris, has been arm-ted on a charge of brutally ill-treating Therese Prieux, a little girl of six, whose elder sister, Marie, is his sweetheart. Pecmais had already been confined in a reformatory. He escaped, fled to Amerioa, and then returned to France. His favourite pastime was to burn lie child on various parts of her body. His cruelty culminated in throwing her on to a red-hot stovo. it was then that his elder sister reported the matter to the police. Neighbours have now come forward and declared to the commissary of police that Pecmans frequently amused himself by burning his victim with t,he lighted end of a. cigarette, and would then dab the wounds with cotton-wool steeped in vinegar. The little girl is now in hospital, and her life is in danger.

) Out of Her Course
) Out of Her Course I THE LOSS OF A CARDIFF SHIP The Boo.rd of Trade inquiry was resumed a.t the Town-haU, Cardiff, to-day (before the stipendiary, Mr. T. W. Lewis, with Com- mander L. B. Wibner, R.N.R., and Captain Higginson-, Y.B., Trinity House, sitting as nautical assessors) into the loss of the steam- ship Rose, off the Pembrokeshire coast-, last month. Mr. Arthur Yaohell appeared for the Board of Trade, and Mr. Vamghan (of Messrs. Vaughan and Roche) for the captain and chief officer. The second officer, who was also imade a party to the inquiry, was pcesent, but was not legally represented. Re-called, the master (Captain Chiirsalon) said he accepted full responsibility for the (navigation of the ship, amd acquitted the chief officer of all blame. As to the second stranding, he expected to make the South Bis-hop light at between eleven and 11.30 p.m. The Stipendiary: Then why, when you got within range of this light, at eleven o'olock, did you proceed full speeid for another hour without taking some gteps to verify your position?—Well, I wias expecting to pick up the light all the time. Further questioned, he admitted that if he had taken a cast of the lead at any time between eleven and twelve he would have known that the ship was not making the course laid down. The same was true of the nrevions nisht—that if at any time during the hour previous to stranding at Ballyferris he had taken soundings he would have found he was out of his course. He did not take soundings because he thought he was on the ¡ right course. He afterwards found that there were six degrees' deviation on that" course. The inquiry was adjourned until next Fri- at three p.m., the Stipendiary stating that the court would expect Mr. Vachell, for the Board of Trade, to indicate whether in his opinion there was any evidence against any of the parties. All the witnesses, with the exception of the master, were discharged from further attend- ance.
i"Checked His Work."
"Checked His Work." BAPTIST MINISTER'S NEW VENTURE One of our representatives called upon the Rev. T. T. Hughes, of Rhos Chapel, Moun- tain Ash, on Friday, with a view to ascer- taining the exact position between himself and his Church. At the fcose of the evening service last Sunday Mr. Hughes informed the members that he would no longer officiate there. Last Monday evening the rev. gentleman initiated mission services at the Salvation Army-hall, Mountain Ash, where he lias delivered addresses throughout the week. On being invited to make a statement of the relationship between him and Rhos Chapel Mr. Hughes replied:—"My connec- tion with Rhos Chapel is completely broken. I have left the deacons and some of their friends and relatives in possession. I am still the minister of Rhos Church. I have only done what St. Paul did in Ephesus. When the worldly people checked his work he took the disciples to a school of one man called Tyrannus; and he shepherded them there." "Perhaps you will be good enough, Mr. Hughes, to tell me what your future inten- tions are?" Well, my ambitioin has been, for some time to institute an ideal Church, according to the Lord's teaching. I think it is the great need of the times. The Churches as they are to- day are far from being anything like the Church of the New Testament: the first should be last, and the last first. This issue is being quickly approached. There are men in the flesh who understand nothing of the needs of the spirit. They do not value converts; they do not respect a man's feelings; they are ignorant—without any education most of them. I hope very soon to have a hall, not a chapel. My experience now is that people come to listen to me in the hall whom I failed to get into the chapel. I am at present used to preaching to hundreds to whom I had no access before. Let it be known that my Church will be a Baptist Church, where all the children of God will be welcomed and loved, irrespective of creed. "Is it your intention, Mr. Hughes, to con- fine your labours to Mountain Ash?" Oh, nQ. I have a. mission-North and South—which is, Ezekiel xxxviii., 7: 'Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard uhto them.' Through the leading of my Master I mean to carry out my mission, as time will allow. The message I have and mean to preach is Jesus Christ, Lord of All, or no Lord at all." "Could you give me any idea as to your future movements?" "Yes, I can. They are as followsNext Sunday I shall be at Llwynypia, at the Church of the Rev. W. S. Jones; on Monday and Christmas Day Mr. Jones and I will be art Newcastle Emlyn, on Wednesday at Cil- gerran; on the following Sunday I shall be at Trefach, and on the first day of the New Year I shall be at Llandebie. I shall then return to Mountain Ash, and gather my flock together to the Dyffryn Schools, provided the education committee will grant me their use. I shall always be at the disposal of the Salvation Army to help them in carrying on their work

A CUP OF COLD WATER I
A CUP OF COLD WATER I Mrs. Ellen Newman was arguing the point with a lady friend when Constable Osborn arrived and asked them to disperse. The lady friend did so without further ado, but Ellen declined, and even went so far as to push a bottle of gin into the constable's face. "Have a drop o' gin, old dear," said Ellen, which simple phrase, conviviaJ. he it sounds, is far from being popular with the Metro- politan; police. The constable, with assistance, succeeded in getting Ellen iand thebottle of gin to the station, and there Ellen pleaded for a cup of cold water, which was accordingly pre- sented to her, but the sight of the hated fluid iproved too much for her feelings, and she dashed the mug against the cell wa.ll, chipping the enamel and destroying the apptarance of the vessel. At Stratford Police-court yesterday Ellen, who said that Ishewas very sorry, was fined ls. for being drunk and disorderly, and 2e. 6d., with 5s. cost and damage, for the injury to the mug.
"LARK" WITH REVOLVER. 1
"LARK" WITH REVOLVER. 1 At Hnnslet on Friday the Leeds coroner held an inquiry as to the death of Alfred Fletcher, aged 31, who met with a sad end at the East Hunslet Liberal Club on Wednes- day night. The evidence was given that deceased and a man named Leonard Hainsworth were playing billiards and were on very friendly terms* Hainsworth showed Fletcher how to load a revolver, when the weapon exploded and the latter was shot dead. Witnesses said it was a pure accident. A police officer deposed that when he asked Hainsworth "Have you done this?" he collapsed and remarked, "Is there nobody will shoot me?" Hainsworth gave evidence, and stated that Fletcher asked him to bring the revolver, and deceased larked" with it. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned, the jury recommending Haana- j stiver to handle ftearms-

Footer in America. I 88 DEATHS IN SIX YEARS I With the close of the first football season in Amerioa under the new rules, the general verdict of the American press and players is that (the new football has been a grea.t sucoess. They state that the framers of the revised rules succeeded in a great measure in their attempt to make the play more open, besides making it more spectacular. They also consider that serious injuries were minimised, while minor accidents were scarce. This may be so, but the fact that there has been fourteen deaths, and many inium. es-ac (the subjoined table shows—is proof that American football may have been considerably improved upon, but has not yet become quite "humane."

WONDERS NEVER CEASE! I To the Editor of the Evening Express." Sir,—As one interested in the Welsh Rugby Union reform movement, I wish to express- my gratification at seeing that the Welsh Rugby Union has followed the lead of the much- despised Cardiff Club.

I CUT OFF HIS OWN ARM I
CUT OFF HIS OWN ARM I With his left hand and forearm crushed and held firmly in the mouth of a fodder shredder, Dr. Charles M'Cullough, a well- known young farmer and physician, who lives in Buckingham County (U.S.), cut his arm off below the elbow with his pocket- knife. After freeing himself he directed the farm hands with him in taking up the several arteries in the arm, thus saving his life. Afterwards he walked some distance to the house. Later he was taken to an hospital and the arm was amputated again above the elbow. The farm superintendent caught his arm in the same machine two weeks ago and died of blood-poisoning.

- - - -[He Put Her Out I
He Put Her Out I I AND HOUSEKEEPER I DRAPER AN HOUSEKEEPER  Scene in a Newport Shop j I An extraordinary case was heard at New- I port on Friday. Mr. Edward John Williams, draper, of 46, High-street, was summoned for assaulting and beating Mrs. Mary Way, a tall, middle-aged woman, respectably dressed. The complainant stated that she was housekeeper to the defendant, who asked her to go down from the house, 1, Godfrey-road, to the shop to help in serving last Saturday week. She helped a customer with some pins to pin up her dress, as it was a dirty day. She hadn't had time to make out the ordinary check, as she went to serve another customer, but she apologised to Mr. Williams for the omion to enter the penny for the pins, and told him that she was about to enter the sale. Defendant abused her dreadfully before the customers. Going up to her, he clutched her by the throat, tearing her blouse, and thrust her out of the back door, striking her against the door posts. He had done the same thing several times, and had kicked her brutally, but she had forgiven him, although he had ill-treated her in an abominable manner on several oc-casions. Defendant, in a heated manner, declared that, as far as his reason would allow him, nothing of the kind occurred. He had no recollection of touching the complainant. The Clerk: What, a case of loss of memory? Defendant: No, not on my part. As far as my reason will allow me to recollect it, the story is 8jl utter fabrication. The Bench: Did you touch her?—I put her out of the shop. She has taken every liberty and advantage, and I have simply to what is called wipe the floor. The Bench: Then why don't you give her notice?—I had given her notice, and have given her a month's money to go out of the house. But the whole of the staff won't move her. The Bench: But, surely, you are master in your own house?—I am trying to be. Defendant, in answer to the bench, gave a. practical demonstration of how he eaid he put Mrs. Way out. The Clerk: Is that how you tore her blouse? —Oh, I did'nt. Look here, I would rather sell up the whole show. I have held up to the last minute, but it has come to a pitch now. Mrs. Way: Have I not left your employ, -ve I not left your c and you begged me to come back again?— No, you left my employ, and I was only too delighted that you were further away, but as you had no home should like you to come back, if possible. Complainant: Did you not promise me if I would come back that you would never lay a finger on me again as you had beaten me black and blue?—No. A young lady assistant said she heard Mr. Williams ask Mrs. Way to leave the shop, and as She would not go he put her out. In the result, the Chairman of the Bench (Mr. G. R. Martyn) said: This is a very extra- ordinary case from first to last. (To defen- dant): You will be bound over to keep the peace towards Mary Way and ordered to pay the costs.
Open After Hours__I
Open After Hours I AUCTIONEER'S EVENING SALES I Before Mr. T. W. Lewis (stipendiary), sitting at Cardiff on Friday, Harris Paskin, bootseller, 48, St. Mary-stroet, was summoned by Joseph Ashman, inspector under the Shop Hours Act, for an infringement of the early closing order. Mr. F. W. Ensor (from the town-#erk's office) appeared for the prosecu- tion. Defendant set up the defence that he sold by public auction. Inspector Ashman said he visited the defen- dant's establishment at nine o'clock on. the evening of December 6. An auction sale was at the time in progress. The notice required was posted in the interior, but not in t.he exterior, which was also necessary. Notices of the prioes of boots were exhibited in the windows, and there was an announcement that private sales were carried on during the day at auction prices. Witness had never seen anybody purchasing boots there in t.he day time. Lewis Goldstein, defendant's manager, said a card was in the window, but not outside, as the weather was wet. Defc-n-dant said he had dene what the inspector had told him to do. Previously there had been similar proceed- iTigs againet defendant, who was fined 20s. and costs, or one month. Defendant said he would appeal. His point is the decision of the A-cerington magistrates, who the other day had before them a case of conducting sales by auction of boots and shoes on certain days, the shops being open for the sale of the goods over the counter on other days. The case wa.s dismissed upon the ground that defendant, holding an auc- tioneer's licence, wae entitled to sell goods by auction after the closing hours for ordinary shopkeepers. Paskin during t.he hearing handed up to the stipendiary a newspaper report of the Accrington case. His Worhip read the cutting, and returned j I it without comment. I

I A. twelve-year-old schoolgirl named Florrie Witte, of 30, Lombard-street, Barry Dock, vruS charged at Barry Police-court on Friday with obtaining two wooden pipes, value 4s. 6d., by false pretences. The defendant went to the shop of Henry James Orders, tobacconist, Thompson-street, Barry Dock, and stated that Mr. Davies, of the boarding-house," wanted to see a pipe. Two pipes were given to her to show Mr. Da vies. William Henry Davies, boarding-house- keeper, of Travis-street, .denied sending the girl to the shop. Thomas L-encke, a seaman, of 2¡!, Lombard- street, said the child came to him on the night in question and said, I have got a Christmas-box for you, Tommy." She handed him the pipe, sa-ying she promised to give the other to Mrs. Coleman's son, and that they had been given to her. Defendant now stated that Mrs. Coleman sent her for the pipes. Mary Coleman, also of Lombard-etreet, stated that the defendant ran errands for her. On the night of the 17th inst. defendant cams to her and said, "Here's the pipe I promised you last week. It belonged to my brother, who's gone soldiering. If you give me a couple of coppers for a Christmas-box, you can give the pipe to your son." Who .gave it to you?" asked Mrs. Coleman. "My bloke," was the reply. (Laughter.) The child was bound over to be of good behaviour for six months.

"OUT LOOKING AFTER T-HINGSP
"OUT LOOKING AFTER T-HINGSP One never knows exactly where Mr. John Buirns will turn up next. A few days ago he was engaged in rescuing some children from a watery grave. The other night he was at a fire in the Ola-phain-road. "Last nigrht," writes a "Tribune" representative, "I 8aw H the right hon. gentleman in the House of Commons at half-post ten, and again at one o'clock this morning I came across him on ,the Embankment adjacent to Charing 4-œe- bridge. The Cabinet Minister was scarcely recognisable, thougih he had turned up his -ooat-oollar. He bad (been making a round of vi-sits to Salva-tiou and Church Army shelters, and he wae at this moment about to mingle in the wretched crowd that nightly gathers at the Salvation Army ren- dezvous under Charing Crose bridge. Mr. Burns believes in wlhat he sees with his own eyes, and he fully realises that he must see muoh in this way if he is to deal effectively with the derelicts- of our social. -system. While Mr. Burns stood unobserved- among the crowd a tram-oar drew up, and the right hon. gentleman had the satisfaction of see ing the conductor refuse to allow an intoxi oated man to proceed as a paesenger. Ai the car moved off one of the paasengerr caught sight of Mr. Burns, and remarked to the company:—'Why, there's John Burns. He's out looking after things. That's the sort of man to have about '-and the obøer- vation evidently voiced the general senti- ment."

i Brought Back to LifeI
i Brought Back to Life I I DARING SURGICAL OPERATIONS i br. T. A. Green, F.R.C.S., surgeon to out- Da.ta,ents at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Sick Children amd Women, tells in The Xiainoet" of a remarkable oaee at Bristol, in which the action of the heart was restored by means of massage after apparent death. The patient was a boy of nine, who was Admitted suffering from a complaint which necessitated operation. Chloroform was admindatexed, and the operation commenced, when. after difficult breathing, respiration ceased. No heart sounds could be heard. Hot towels were applied, and injections of strychnine; but without success. Then, twenty-five minutes after the heart ,had been stopped, Dr. Groen decided to apply direct compression to the organ. An opening was made sufficient to admit the right hand, and the heart was felt to be quite immobile and flaccid. The doctor com- menced rhythmical compression of the organ, with his right hand pressing against its lower surface, and his left hand outside; the rate of compression being about 70 a minute. This method was continued for about two I minutes without appreciable effect. Then Dr. Green grasped I The Apex of the Heart I I with his right hand, and in this manner con- tinued the intermittent compression. Soon a slight fluttering of the organ was noticed. The pupils of the eyes also contracted, and within a few seconds the heart began to beat forcibly with more than normal vigour. Meanwhile, artificial respiration had been continued all the time; and within a short period of the restoration of the pulse sponta- neous ibreathing- asserted itself, and gradu- ally became regular. In ten minutes the heart and lungs were rerforming their functions normally, although the patient had Dot recovered consciousness. The subsequent history of the case was, unfortunately, not so satisfactory. Sensi- bility never returned. The patient developed spasms, and early next morning he was found to be obviously sinking, the heart-heat getting very feeble. Death tock place twenty hours after the heart-beat and respiration had been established. Another Bristol case was that of a boy of three, who was admitted to the same hospital Buffering from diphtheria. The difficulty of breathing passed off without am operation, but after a suddem attack of syncope heart- beat and respiration ceased. Compression of the heiart was commenced by Dr. Green, as in the former case, and after five minutes a slow wave of couti-aetio-n was felt passing over the organ. At the end of another five minutes the heart was beating at the rate of 48 a minute, and the ears and lips, which had been livid, had resumed their Ruddy Appearance I Dr. Green, however, was unable in this case to restore spontaneous breaching, and the heart itself stopped pulsating half an hour afterwards. Further massage made it contract several times, but after a few more attempts efforts were reluctantly given, up, one hour and a half after the massage had been commenced, a.nd one hour and three-quarters after the child had died. Dr. Green was led to try these measures through having seen them adopted by Mr. C. B. Keetey in a case at the West London Hos- pital in the summer of 1903. That case, which has not before been published, was that of a man in middle life. Chloroform was employed for the operation, and before the patient was completely under it his breathing and pulse stopped. The usual methods for restora/tion were adopted without avail, and ait the end of three-quarters of an hour Mr. Keetley made an opeiu i g and compressed the heart in the manner described by Dr. Green in his first case. The results, however, were negative. In giving D. Green permission to make use of this oas-ø Mr. Keetlev wrote:- "I have had another case like it since, in which we endeavoured to restore circulation by opening the abdomen and pressing the heart through the diaphram, but unsuccess- fully."

.DIVISION OF MERTHYR UNION-I
DIVISION OF MERTHYR UNION The proposed division of the Merthyr Union, as sought for by the Aberdare, Rhigos, and Penderyn section, was the sub- ject of discussion at a meeting of the Dow. lais Chamber of Trade, under the chairman. ship of Mr. J. G. Rees. The Rev. Llewelyn M. Williams, R.D. (rector of Dowlais), said tha.t the alleged grievances had no real exist- ence. He had 110 hesitation in declaring that many of the statements made were absolutely untrue, and appeared to have been drawn up deliberately with a view to throwing dust in the eyes of Mr. D. A. Thomas, Mr. Keir Hardie, and Mr. John Burns. As to the contention that Aberdare Pfrid more than its fair share towards the maintenance of the paupers on the Merthyr side, it was utterly fallacious, and at the Local Government inquiry to be held on February 12, 1907, the clerk to the guardians would submit figures dealing directly with tha.t point. A resolution of protest against the pro- posed division was carried.
RELICS FOR CARDIFF MUSEUM…

Archives Rifled I
Archives Rifled I VATICAN'S NOTE TO THE POWERS I A circular Note signed by Cardinal Merry del Val, Pontifical Secretary of State, has been sent to all the foreign diplomatic repre- senta-tives at the Holy See for communica- tion to their respective Governments, protest- ing against the search, of M. Montagnini's residence in Paris, his violent exclusion, the seizure of a cypher enabling the French Government to know the secrets of other Powers, and the violation of the Pope's rights to correspond with Catholics. The Note outlines the attitude and motives of the Holy See regarding the application of the French Separation Law of 1905. The protest sets forth the enormity of such acts, which are without a modern parallel among civilised nations, as even when diplomatic relations oease it is customary to respect the residence, and especially the archives, of a foreign repre- sentAtive.-Reuter.
I NEW _TRIMMING TARIFF I
NEW TRIMMING TARIFF Signed by Men's Representatives A joint meeting of the representatives of the Cardiff coal exporters and the coal- trimmers was held at the offices of the Car- diff Freighters' Association to-day, Mr. H. A. Griffin, J.P., presiding, when the trimmers' representatives signed the new tariff, which is to come into operation on January 1. The tariff, which had previously been signed by nearly every important ooal- shipping firm, will, it is expected, be cir- culated in a few days. The main features in which it diflers from the tariff of 1890 have already been mentioned. Whether the shipowners will accept the new conditions unchallenged remains to be seen. The tariff is practically that offered by the men at the time the shipowners broke off negotiations, demanding further con- cessions. The slight reductions wMch have been made on the part of the men apply only to vessels of mod-arn construction in regard to which the 1890 agreement was hardly appli- cable. When that arrangement was made the improvements since effected in the construc- tion of steamers were not foreseen, and the new tariff, with its new class for stea.mers of the Swindon and Shandon type, realiiy represents a bringing up to date of the old one, and while in some oases the men are accepting a modified rate, in others they will obtain more, according to the amount i of wor kinvolved. A mass meeting of the men will probably be held to confirm the action of their com- J mittee.

The chief object we have in view is to awaken the consciences of the women of this country." Mrs. Hill sends her warm affection to her children and husband.
Children Suffocated-I
Children Suffocated CORONER DEPLORES A WIDESPREAD EVIL Mr. W. Buckley Roderick conducted an inquest at Llanelly on Friday respecting the death of Herbert Stephenson, the two months' old child of Frederick Stephenson, of 6, New Dock-road, Llanelly, who died in bed on Thursday morning.—The evidence of the mother went to show that the deceased slept with her husband and herself On the night of his death. Between four and five o'clock in the morning she fed the child, and she did not notice that he was dead until eight o'clock. She had another child who slept in a cot. The Coroner: What is your reason for taking the child to bed to sleep with you? Witness: I did not like him to sleep by himself because it was cold. Dr. Edgar Davies said that when he saw the deceased there were no marks of violence and he attributed death to suffocation caused by either overlying or the bedclothes being put over the mouth and nose. The Coroner said that according to the law of the land it was not wrong for parents to take their children to bed with them, but it was a very dangerous practice. In 1903 there were 1,619 deaths of children caused by suffocation whilst in bed with their parents. In 1904 there were 1,660 similar deaths. He had not got a record of the deaths caused through suffocation in 1905, but during two years 3,200 children died from suffocation whilst in bed with their parents. These figures should be sufficient to induce parents to provide cots for their children. It was a small expense The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children were taking this matter up, and they proposed-if they could get the Bill to pass through both Houses—to make it a penal offence if parents took their children to bed with them. In that way they should save a large number of children. In reply to a juror, the Coroner stated that children under three years of age would not be allowed to go to bed with their parents under the Bill proposed by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The jury returned a verdict of "Acoidental death, caused by suffocation."
