BODY OF A BABY - -I I
BODY OF A BABY FOUND IN A GARDEN Whitchurch Discovery "LAIN THERE ALL THE WINTER" Whilst the gardener was at his labours in the garden of Captain Powley, a retired master mariner, near Llandaff Station, in the parish of Whitchurch, on Tuesday after- noon he came upon a curious and suspicious looking parcel. When opened the parcel was found to contain the body of an infant, very badly decomposed. Decay had been aided by the enclosure within the parcel of a quantity of lime and only portions of the body remained. The police were apprised, and Sergeant Bennett had the remains examined by Dr. Myler, assistant to Dr. Wayne Morgan. The doctor was able to say that the body was that of a female child, but owing to its condition he was quite unable to come to any definite conclusion as to whether it I had had a separate existence. He expressed the opinion that the body had lain in the garden all the winter. Sergeant Bennett subsequently took charge of the remains, and an inquest will be held, probably to-day (Wednesday). The police are inquiring into the matter, but in consequence of the time that has elapsed are not very hopeful of tracing the mother of the deceased child.
The Baa-Baa's Match. I
The Baa-Baa's Match. CHARGES OF FOUL PLAY Bush's Reply to the Critics We have received the following letter for publication from Mr. Percy F. Bush, the captain of the Cardiff Football Club:— Regarding the allegations of foul play by a Cardiff player in our match with the Barbarians last Saturday, it is only right that the affair as it happened should be published. "Stoop is reported to have used the epithet 'Filthy!' after a certain incident in the game. The ex-preeslion may have been meant to apply to either of the two players concerned in the episode, Ralph Thomas and Pat M'Evedy. I am inclined to think that it could not haive been used to describing Thomas's play. If he refers to M'Evedy, then, again, he is wrong, for Pqt is not a filtihy player, and never will be, and what he did was not deserving ol so drastio an appellation. It all arises out of the gaining of Gwyn Nicholls's second try. He was going hand and straight for the line, and Thomas was following him ou his left for an inside pass if necessary. M'Evedy was running abreast with Thomas, presumably with the idea of fetching him down if he should happen to get the ball. He was, apparently, making no effort to get at Nioholls, but as he and Thomas ran their elbows were, now and again, touching. I don't think M'Evedy was fouling Thomas, but hé was certainly impeding- him; and to say that the positions were reversed is aibsurd. No one could have blaaned Thomas if he had pushed M'Evedy away, but he did not, and he most decidedly did not commit a foul. While on this topic I should like it to be made clear that the penalties given on Saturday were not against David, but for 'feet up' in eorum. As both sides indulged j in a feet-raising competition, the wonder is that more penalties were not given, and it was just the luck of it that Cardiff should have suffered the mom without being the more a.t fault. It is high time that people should try and restrain that petty feeling of chagrin at getting a beating. JVhen Welsh sides get beaten by E-nglish, Irish, or Scotch the players do not .brinlg absurd charges against their opponents. Why, then, is it that a Welsh fifteen can never be given credit for playing better football than the side they have beaten? In conclusion, I defy any of our opponents—or any of the critics—to prove any instances of fouling on the part of the Cardiff players, or any examples of any sharp practices on the part of a Cardiff player. I hope you will publish this in full, as the time has come to let the public have the true version of things, and not let sports- men in Engla/nd and elsewhere hold a bad impression of Welsh football simply because I of the misguided utterances of a few dis- ordered imaginations.—I am, Ac., PERCY F. BUSH.
FORTY WAITERS HOAXED I
FORTY WAITERS HOAXED Cruel First of April Joke A foolish and heartless hoax has been per- petrated at the expense of some 40 waiters this Eastertide. In the belief that they were required to wait at a "private marquee" for Lord Stan- ley at Kempton (or, as some of them under- stood, for Lord Gerrard), they journeyed down there on Easter Monday, 40 strong. The engagement seemed a very good holiday one, and they each cheerfully parted with Is. 3d. as commission for obtaining the berth. But they had a rude awakening when they got to Kempton. The private marquee" was painfully conspicuous by i,te absence, and no one knew anything about such an engagement. Mr. Bertram, the well-known caterer, who had charge of the commissariat department, said it was the first he had heard of any waiters being required. In the end, the unfortunate 40 had to return to town sick at heart, and minus the Is. 3d. and their fare. As one of them writes to a London con- temporary, "We know it was the First of April, but to bring men with wives and children all that way, there is nothing clever in it." At the Geneva Union, where a prees representative inquired into the matter yes- terday, an official said that they had placed the affair in the hands of the police. The waiters, so the official said, had not been actually engaged there; they had only acted as the intermediary in the usual way. More information he did not desire to g-ive, as the police were inquiring into the matter.
THE HAGUE CONFERENCE I
THE HAGUE CONFERENCE I And Reduction of Armaments. I According to the Paris "Echo" to-day the Russian Government has notified the several chancellories of its formal intention not to place the subject of the limitation of 3<I"llla- ments on the programme of the Hague peace conference. It is, however, agreed that the matter will be brought before the conference, which will refer it to a commission Specially charged to examine. It is not at present known if Germany or Austpa, will decline to bo rep-resented on this commission. The position of the powers at the moment being as follows :-Great Britain, the United States, and Japan are favourable to limita- tion; France warmly welcomes the pro- posal, but does not believe it will lead to any practical result; Russia and Italy preserve the attitude of expectancy; while Germany and Austria are practically hostile. The Echo claims to be in a position to state that the recent interview between Signor Tittoni and Prince Buelow was devoted entirely to a discussion of the prosecuting of the conference.

The costs have been very great, reaching, it is said, to ^ometlwag like £ 3,000.
Easter Vestries. I
Easter Vestries. I CARDIFF VICAR AND SHORTAGE OF CURATES. I At the St. Mary's Church vestry on Tuesday the vicar (the Rev. Gilbert Heaton) again nominated Mr. Edward Dobbin as his warden, this being the twenty-fourth consecutive year for him to hold the office. Mr. H. J. Thatcher was unanimously re-elected people's warden. The Vicar referred to the dearth of clergy in all the Cardiff parishes and throughout Wales. The replies to the numerous letters he had written in his search for assistant clergy seemed to show that all the young men wanted to work in London or under Bishop Gore, or the Bishop of Rochester, or the other more prominent English bishops. Unfortunately, none of them seemed to be drawn to come to Wales, which was a great loss to the Principality. They had started building the new vestries as a fitting memorial to the late vicar, and those rooms would enable them to devote the room in which they were met to the provision of a rifle range and gymnastic appliances for the use of the youth of the parish. The building of a new church in Penarth-road in place of St. Samson's Mission Church was urgent, and he had instructed Mr. Veall to draw plans. The new Docks schools were also being pro- ceeded with. Speaking of Mr. M'Kenna's Bill as a Bill for the relief of passive registers, he said that it demanded of Church- people the handing over of their schools free of any rent. At the same time they had to maintain the schools in repair, and for all this they were to have nothing in return. In addition, they were also to be called upon to provide a portion of the salaries of the teachers who gave religious instruction, whilst, at the same time, they would be also called upon to pay the rates for the unde- nominational teaching in the provided schools. It was perfectly clear that Mr. M'Kenna's Bill endowed undenominational teachine out of .J.I>Q nnW nUVo h" (1111rrh- people and others, although that teaching I was of a kind that Churchpeople could never regard as in any way sufficient for their children. It was interesting to know what Churchpeople had spent on their school buildings alone in St. Mary's parish during I the three years he had been vicar. Leaving out of the calculation all other expenditure in the parish, they had spent £ 2,640 on repairs to the Bute-terrace Schopls. He j would be under-estimating the value of the, site of those schools when he fixed it at £ 4,000. (Mr. Thatcher: £ 5,000 would be nearer the mark.") They had insured the buildings for zC4,000, so that the buildinga and site were worth L8,000 at least. The site of the new schools and the buildings they were now putting up at the Docks would cost over £ 8,000. Then, the mission school and its site were certainly worth £ 2,000— probably the site alone was worth that figure--so that the Church school property in the parish was fully worth £ 20,000. They were to be called upon to make a free gift of all that to the public, and at the same time pay a. portion of the teachers' salaries. This was, surely, absolutely unfair and unjust, and plain enough for the man in the street to see it. (A Parishioner: "It is monstrous.") He could not think for a moment that the Government could have the audacity to pass such a Bill. If the Bill was passed it would be simply as a reward to passive resisters, but it would also be an instigation to Churchmen and others to follow the example of the passive re- sistors. (Hear, hear.) If Churchmen did not get what they wanted it was perfectly plain that what they had to do was to not only passively, but actively, resist the law, and they would get what they wanted. (Hear, I hear.) The mora one saw of the religious controversy in the present day the more one came to the conclusion that those whoee voices were the loudest were more anxious to do injury to the Church than they were to do good for the religious education of the children. (Hear, hear.) A voluntary rata of lid. in the £ having been made to enable the churchwardens to meet the ensuing year's expenses, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. Thatcher, seconded by Mr. Baker, to send to Mr. Balfour and Mr. M'Kenoia copies of a reso- lution protesting against the unjust provi- sions of the latter's Bill, because it legalised lawlessness, endowed undenomanjationalism (which was only another napie for Uni- tarianism), and penalised the teaching of the Christian religion. « I CARDIFF, ST. DYFRIG'S. I The Rev. Heotor A. Ooe (vioar) presided, and-stated that the special offertories for the past year amount to 160, and the general offertories to -6110. The expenditure amounted to JE185, leaving a, balance due to the bank of £13. He gave a oomp-aratiae statement of the cost of gas and electric light in the church, which showed that the average cost for gas and coke per annum was E22 Is. Oitd., and for electric light and coke £ 21 7s. 2Jd. Mr. Chanien, Royal-chambers, Queen-street, was nominated by the vicar as his warden, and Mr. Charles Jones was appointed as people's warden. The Vicar, reviewing the work of the past year, said that it had been a somewhat eventful one in the parish, as during the period there had been opened a new clergy house and a new parish-roam, amd now they were engaged upon the work of finishing St. Dyfrig's Church, which would provide extra places for about 400 worshippers. The clergy house was entirely paid for, and the parish- room practically so, but when it came to the consideration of the church they had incurred an expenditure of about X4,000, towards which they had only got £ 2,000. It was a most extraordinary thing, he said, that, instead of being encouraged in church extension, they were always being worried by the Church authorities to get faculties, and he found it was necessary to pass a resolution about the completion of the church. He supposed the question of a faculty meant fees. (Laughter.) A resolution was passed approving of the plans for the completion of the church, and authorising the vicar and wardens to apply to the Llandaff Consistory Court for a faculty A resolution was passed condemning Mr. M'Kenna's Education Bill as being most unjust to Churchpeople. Mr. Charles Jones characterised the Bill as am iniquitous one. The Vicar, who supported the resolution, said if the Bill passed they would have to give up their schools; they would have to pay towards undenominational religion, which was hateful a.nd abhorrent to Church- people. and they would have to pay for the privilege of teaching religion to their chil- dren. It seemed to be something too utterly monstrous, and he could not conoei ve any words too strong to condemn it. ST DAVID'S WELSH CHURCH, CARDIFF. The Vicar (the Rev. A. E. H. Hyslop) said that it was more difficult to carry on a Welsh Church than an English Church in Cardiff. The members were scattered all over the city. Mr. John Williams (draper) was elected people's warden. The Vicar re-appointed Mr. John Aaron as his warden. The Vicar said that under Mr. M'Kenna's Bill they, as Churchmen, would have to pay a.t least three times over for the education of their children in their own Church's teachings. There were passive resisters on the other side before, and Churchmen must ehow, if the Bill passed, that they could be passive resisters, too. I LLANDAFF I HARDSHIPS OF THE NEW EDUCATIONAL PROPOSALS. The vicar (the Rev. Canon J. R. Buckley) presided. The accounts, presented by Mr. A. B. Bassett, showed a balance of £18. Canon Buckley again nominated Dr. Artuur as his warden. Mr. A. B. Baasett was re-elected parish warden. The Vieir announced that Oil Easter Day there were 698 communicants. Canon Buckley complained of the num- ber of tin(I-LI a, lified teachers sent to their schools by the Glamorgan County Council. The head-teachers of the Church scnools, too, he felt, had a real grievanoe in that they were not equally paid with the head- j teachers in the council schools. Touching upon Mr. M'Kenna's new Education Bill, the vicar said he did not see how the computa- tion had been arrived at to charge the foundation managers of Church schools with one-fifteenth of the salaries of teachers who gave denominational teaching. On four mornings a week Scriptural instruction was given in their schools exactly of the same kind as was given in the council sohools, and only on one morning a week was definite religious instruction given. That was only for half an hour. Now, the children were in attendance at school twenty-five hours during a week, or fifty half-hours. There- fore, the timo devoted to definite religious instruction was one-fiftieth of the whole. It was agreed to send a resolution on the lines of the vicar's remarks to Mr. M'Kenna, and the member for the constituency. RUMNEY. The vicar (the Rev. D. J. Darvies) presided, and thanked the churchwardens and others for their valu-xble assistance during the past year. A vote of thanks proposed by the -people's warden to Mrs. Gubitt for her numerous kindnesses to the church was unanimously passed. Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Thoma3 Evans were re-elected church- wardens. LLANF ABON. The vestry meeting in connection with this parish, which includes the following churches:—Llanfabon Parish Church, St. John's Church, and St. Cynon's C???dh, took pla<? at the Schools, Neleon. The Bectof (the Rev. T. W. Davies) read the accounts. which were adopted. The following were appointed Llanfabom, Parish Church: Rector's warden, Mr. J. R. L. Thomas; people's warden, Mr. Ll. Price. 8t. Cynon's Church: Rector's warden, Mr. Blatohford; people's warden, Mr. E. 1,. Jones. St. John's Church: Rector's warden, Mr. H. Thomas; people's warden, Mr. Highman. A resolution of protest against the Educa- tiou Bill was passed. I MONMOUTH. I I The vicar (the R,ev. C. F. Reeks) presided. Mr. W. Tench Page was nominated vicar's warden, and Mr. Wilfred Jones was elected people's warden. It was mentioned that Sir Alfred Joddrell had contributed handsomely to the re-setting of several fine memorial tablets in the church.-Dr. Lloyd Smith brought forward the question of the closing of the churchyard to further burials in con- sequence of insanitary conditions disclosed at a recent interment.—The vestry decided to support the vicar and churchwardens in any action they might take in that direc- tion. I BEAUFORT. I The vicar (the Rev. D. J. Llewelyn) presided. Mr. W G-wynne Lewis was appointed vicar's warden and Mr. William Walters people's warden. The vicar was Preisented with the Easter offerings. I EBBW VALE, ST. JOHN'S. The Rev. H. S. Frank Williarms presided. ¡ The church finances proved to be in a very flourishing condition, the churchwardens hold- ing a balance over and above expenses of JE53, as against JE3 last year. The 'building fund was also steadily growing, the treasurer reporting IZ30 in hand. The wardens, Messrs.

IRUSSELL-SQUARE MEETING.I
I RUSSELL-SQUARE MEETING. I Marie Goldstein, a stylishly-dressed young I woman, native of Holland, was brought before Mr. Marsham, at Bow-street, London, on a remajnded charge of stealing a purse and £ 10, belonging to Alphonse Meyer, a. traveller from Switzerland. Mr. C. H. Downes, solicitor, appeared for the defence. I Prosecutor's statement was to the effect that on a certain evening in Russell-square he met the prisoner, who introduced herself to him, and invited him to accompany her to her rooms in an adjacent street. After- wards he missed his purse, which had con- I tained £10 in gold, from his pocket, and, believing the prisoner must have taken it, he gave her into custody. After her arrest she was searched, and there was found on her a. purse (not the prosecutor's), containing X6 10s. in gold and some silver. She claimed that both the purse and the money were her own. Mr. Downes said his client emphatically denied having either accosted the prosecutor or gone to any house with him. As a matter of fact., it was the prosecutor who approached her, and it was because she would have nothing to do with him that he gave hfrr into custody. Mr. Marsham observed that the prosecutor in the course of his examination had admitted being somewhat under the influence of drink on the night in question. He (the magistrate) did not think any jury would convict the prisoner on the prosecutor's un- corroborated evidence. She would, therefore, be discharged.
" CRUMPSMAN" ImT " MOONSMAN."
CRUMPSMAN" ImT MOONS- MAN." What is a "orumpsman or "mooneman"? The answer was supplied by one of three prisoners who appeared at Ma.rlborough- street Police-court, London, charged on remand with being suspects attempting to steal from, persons getting on omnibuses in ? Tottenha.m?Court-roa/d. The three prisoners, who were rough-look- ing men, were named Smith, Frop* erton, and Kerby. Properton said he was a. "crumpsman" or "moonsman." One of the officers in the case thought tha;t meant a "orook" or dishonest person, but Properton denied that, and declared that the names were applied to "one who could not stop in one place, but must go wherever told and do whatever bid." He could say no more for fear of disclosing the secrets of the society to which "crumpsmen" belonged. Previous convictions were proved against all three prisoners, and Properton, who was a convict "on licence," protested against his "old career" being brought up against him "before an audience like ttÜs." Mr. Denman sentenced Properton, under the Prevention (f Crimes Act, to twelve months' hard labour, and ordered the other two to serve three months each as rogues and vagabonds.
I OHILtD AS HOSTAGE. I
I OHILtD AS HOSTAGE. A little woman applied to the Acton Bench recently about a child which she had been keeping for the mother, who agreed to pay her weekly for its support. At Christmas time the mother married again, and applicant had heard she was coming up that day from Wales to take the child away. As there was over £3 owing applicant wished to know if she was bound to give up the child before the money was paid. The Clerk: She had better keep it as host- age. The Magistrate: I am afraid you haven't a strictly Legal lien on the child, but you had better keep it inside the house until you get the money that is owing. Applicant left, and just as the magistrate had concluded the business the mother hurriedly entered the court. She admitted that she owed the money for the child's keep, and would pay it in instalments on getting back into Wales. The Magistrate: You go to your friends and get the money and tender it, and that will make your position strong.—Applicant said she would act on the advice.
I NOT FOR, THE AMATEUR.I
I NOT FOR, THE AMATEUR. A burglar before the magistrates at Mary- leboue, London, had the following articles on him when arrested:— An electric torch, A putty-knife, A screwdriver, and Two turnkeys. Mr. Paul Taylor (examining one of the turnkeys): It is extremely ingenious, but very simple. Inspector Ives: Yes. Some are exhibited in the museum. They are used only by the best men of the class. The aristocracy," said the magistrate, amid laughter. Accused was remanded.
I GIANT SNAKE'S MOLARS. I
I GIANT SNAKE'S MOLARS. I Salome, the giant python of the New York Zoo, is about to be fitted with a set of falee teeth. The snake had been brought from Singa- pore, but something in her diet disagreed with her. The result was that her fourteen teeth began to swell, causing her such pain that she almost lashed her oage to pieces. To know what to do in order to save her life was something of a problem, for Salome weighs 2651b., is 24ft. long, and possesses a waist of 30in. Dentistry, however, was thought to be the only thing possible, so fourteen labourers and two keepers pulled her out of her cage and proceeded to hold her down, while the dental surgeon prised open her mouth and com- menced to extract her teeth. Fourteen (says the New York "World") were drawn, despite her struggles, and she was then packed back into her cage again. Now the authorities of Bronx Park are endeavouring to devise a method of fitting a. set of false teeth in the_gnake's mouth.
LADY" CABBIE" LOSES HER CAB.I
LADY" CABBIE" LOSES HER CAB. I An amusing practical jolie was played on one of the women oabdrivers by a Parisian gamin recently. The crowds of holiday promenaders near the Opera House were greatly amused by the sight of a buxom cabwoman, in short blue skirt and water- proof sailor hait, racing after her vehicle, which was being driven ait full speed by a.n urchin sitting inside. When the ca-b began to gain on her she hailed a male colleague, bounced into his cab, and shouted to him to chase the runaway. After a quarter of a mile run the gamin stopped the cab, jumped out, and disappeared down a side street. The woman recovered her cab, but was com- pelled to pay ad. for the hire of the rival vehicle.

CYCLIST LOSES HIS HEAD. Ait Declimoiit plantation, near ijaingdw?, a cyclist, named James M'Queeai, was badly injured through being knocked from his machine by Sir John Airdrie's motor-c.ar. M'Queen apparently lost his head, and his cycle swerving was caught by the rear wheel of the oar and he was thrown to the ground. Sir John summoned assistance, when it was found the man was suffering from a fractured lower and upper jaw. He was con- veyed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

The grassy slopes of the valley in Arenham Pa.Tk were thronged with children, who rolled hard-boiled, brightly-dyed ggs. fought mimic battles with them, played miscellaneous games, and finally ate the ogga. In a short time the park waa carpeted with tthella.
I Stream of Molten Glass
I Stream of Molten Glass BUILDING COMPLETELY DESTROYED At Messrs. Candlish's Bottleworks, Seaham Harbour, on Tuesday a tank containing 160 tons of molten glass burst, and the building was immediately flooded with the fiery liquid. Forty men were working in the room, but, fortunately, all were able to make their escape. The heat from the molten glass, however, set fire to the building, completely destroy- ing one portion of it. Nearly 100 men will be thrown out of employment.
I A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
I A DASH FOR LIBERTY. I HOLID AY-MAKERS IN SHEFFIELD KNOCKED DOWN. Exciting scenes were witnessed in Sheffield on Tuesday morning. A manacled prisoner, who had been brought from Wakefield Gaol, escaped from the warder in the police-court corridor, and made a dash for liberty. He freed himself from handcuffs and divested himself of coat and vest as he ran. Gaping holiday-makers, who thronged the street, were knocked down in scores by the escaped prisoner and the host of constables and warders who followed in hot pursuit. The warder from whose custody the man escaped led the pursuers, and, after a run of a quat"ter of a mile, secured his prisoner. Shortly afterwards consternation was caused by the issuing of flames and smoke from the dome ol the Birmingham Capital and Counties Bank. The fire brigade dashed up, and, after considerable difficulty, were able to subdue the flames. The damage waa not extensive.
I ROUMANIAN PEASANTS.
I ROUMANIAN PEASANTS. I RIOTÍRiS REFUSE TO BE APPEASED BY LANDOWNERS. Notwithstanding the optimiam displayed in official reports, the agitation among Rou- ma,nian peasants continues. In some districts situated on the Danube and in the mountainous district of Valoia, although some landowners have given the peasants a formal promise that they will renounce in their favour the whole area of land in theiT possession, the rioters are set- ting fire to everything in their way. Four villages in the district of Mehedintz have been vigorously bombarded, a consider- able number of peasants being killed. In the vilLage of Ophisphani alone over 200 were killed. In the district of Dolj an insur- gent band was captured, and as the prisoners were being conveyed under escort towards Craiova eight of them made attempts to escape, and were shot down. Two dangerous Socialist agitators were arrested in the district of Vla-nka. while distributing seditious pamphlets. They are being sent to Buk- harest. Owing to the rigorous measures taken by the authorities, nothing unusual has occurred in the petroleum distriota of Campin and Bust-enare.-Reuter.
I A KINDLY BROTHER.
I A KINDLY BROTHER. Dr. Wynn Westcott held an inquest at Bethnal Green on the body of George Vigours, aged 38, a cabinet-maker, of Old Ford. James Vigours, a cabinet-maker, identi- fied the body as that of his brother. He was a heavy drinker, and had done no work for twelve months. The Coroner: How was that?-He didn't seem to care about work. How did he live?—The best way he could, by getting about beershops. How did he pay his rent?—He didn't pay any; he left that for me to do. Who bought him food?—I gave him a bit of what I had when I was at home. Why should you take the trouble to keep him?—He had never been away from home. I couldn't sit down and eat a bit of grub without giving my brother a bit. Other evidence showed that the man became mentally affected and was removed to the infirmary on the 24th ult., where he died on Thursday. Death was due to heart disease, the result of chronic alcoholism. The Coroner: A life thrown away. Really a sort of suicide, as nowadays everybody is taught the evils of excessive drinking. But when a man gets mad with drink he will keep on no matter what his doctor tells him. A verdict of "Death from chronic alco- holism" was returned.
ICARMARTHEN BUTCHER'S CRUELTY…
I CARMARTHEN BUTCHER'S CRUELTY TO HIS WIFE. A heartless story of cruelty was told I at Carmarthen Borough Police-court on Tuesday, when Jane Morgan, of 61, Catherine-street, sought a separation order against her husband, Thomas Morgan, a butcher and cattle dealer, on the ground of persistent cruelty. Defendant did not appear. Complainant alleged that since her marriage, in 1899, the defendant had treated her in a very cruel manner. She had two children. On one occasion her husband behaved himself so cruelly that she had to jump through the window. He followed her, and after breaking a stick over her shoulders he dragged her upstairs by the hair of her head. He pulled the hair cletfti out by the roots, and to make herself pre- sentable she had been obliged to obtain artificial hair. II The Bench granted a separation order, with 12s. 6d. a week, together with the custody of the two children.
I "I WAS BORN DRUNK."
I "I WAS BORN DRUNK." Looking very weary, Francis Linfield (33), a Streatham clerk, faced the raagista-ste at Lambeth upon two charges of drunkenness. Early on Bank holiday morning, Linfield was found incapably drunk, and was taken to Brixton Police-station. He was bailed from there, and at 9 a.m. was again brought in by a constable for his own safety. He merely said, I was born drunk." Mr. Hopkins: And you look it. What about this? Prisoner: I am very sorry, indeed. Mr. Hopkins: I will tell you another thing, Linfield. You will very soon die drunk, for you are killing yourself as fast aa you can. Prisoner was fined 10s. upon each charge. He paid the money.

A Broken Love Melody.
A Broken Love Melody. I TALE OF SNATCHED EARRINGS I A Jewish love story was told to the sym- pathetic ears of Mr. Cluer at Old-street yesterday. ) Motse3 Hart is a young fishmonger, and Blooma Hymans, a smartly-dressed girl. They were engaged for fifteen months, and then Blooma gave Moses his conge. [The reason ascribed by Moses in court yesterday was interesting.] Moses and Blooma met on Monday night. Blooma would have passed on haughtily, but Moses stopped her. Then he suddenly snatched the earrings from her pretty ears, making them bleed. (" zC16 I paid for them," said Blooma, meaning the earrings.) What do you say to this?" was Mr. Oluer's question, addressed to Moses. "I admit taking the earrings," said the rejected lover, but not with any felonious intent. She would not speak to me, and I snatched them out of her ears and threw them away." WeU," said Mr. Cluer, gravely, that was felony." When the magistrate said that Moses must go for trial the discarded Romeo made a plaint that breathed melancholy in every note. I was engaged to this young lady," he said, and, as is the custom of my people, I put all my money and things in her pos- session. During fifteen months I never missed a week. About four months ago she objected that I was not getting on, and gave me up, keeping everything I had put in her possession—money, wearing apparel, jewellery, everything. We were friendly after that, and she told me she had spent my money in buying t.hese earrings, but she must have had a big surplus left. Then she told me she had never cared for me, and never meant to marry me. She would not speak to me last night, and then in a fit of temper I did what I did, and threw the earrings away. I thought it would pnish her." Mr. Oluer: Very well, take your trial for stealing. Prisoner's father, a fishmonger, was accepted as bail in £50 for the accused's attendance at the sessions.
LADY'S LOST MEMORY.j .1
LADY'S LOST MEMORY. There is now in Long Ashton Workhouse, near Bristol, a lady of refined and cultured bearing who has been there for sixteen days suffering from loss of memory. Dr. Weatherly, the veteran chairman of the guardians, mentioned the matter at yester- day afternoon's meeting, in the hope that the press may render assistance. The lady was found by the police at Pcrtishead. She was roaming about late a.t night, and could only remember thait. her Christian name was Ellen, but she had no notion where she was or how she had rea-ched Portishead. Since then her memory has partially im- proved, and she now says she is the wife of David Thomas, and comes from the Southern States of America. She remembers someone taking her purse to get a railway ticket for her, but she declares the empty purse found on her at Portishead is not her property. thinks she landed at Liverpool, and had been staying with a married sister in this country, but cannot recall the address. She is about 45 years of age, well educated, of sligiht build, and delicate appearance. The guardians have widely circulated par- t-ioulars concerning their mysterious visitor, in the hope that her friends may come to her assistance.

AN EARLY MORNING FORAY. John Pudding, Arthur Price, and William Collier, were at Aberdare Police-court on Tuesday summoned for stealing three drakes and two ducks, value 17s. 6d., the property of John Thomas, Lock House, Aberfan, on Sunday night last. Polioe-constable Jones, Abercynon, said he met the prisoners on the Ynismeurig-road at two a.m. on Monday, and asked them what they had in the bundles they carried. One of them replied. "Only a few rabbits." On examination it was found the bundles con- tained ducks, one of which was still alive, but tied by the neck. The officer said he killed it at the police-station. The prisoners later said that they had pioked them up on the canal. Nothing was known against the prisoners before, and a fine of 5fe. each was imposed.

( GLYN-NEIATH BOY DROWNED. I Mr. Howel Outhbertson held an inquest at Glyn-Neath on Tuesday touching the death of William Thomas Evans, aged twelve years and a half, the son of William Rees Evans, of Glyn-Neath. Evidence was given to the effect that the child was found drowned in the canal on Saturday afternoon by Morgan Leyshon.

Body Found in a Well:
Body Found in a Well: GIRUS SUPPOSED SUICIDE Early on Tuesday Mr. E. Evans, of Night- ingale-road, Brook Green, found that his nieoe, Miss Bessie James, who had been stay- ing in the house, was missing from her room. He had seen her at 7.30 the previous night, when he took her a- cup of tea. Search was made, a;nd the body of the girl was at last found in a well at the rear of the house. The well is twelve feet deep, with a depth of nine feet of water, and the top had to be broken away before the corpse oould be drawn out. Upon the forehead there was the mark of a serious bruise. Dr. Jones, of High-road, Wood Green, was called in, and for over an hour artificial respiration was resorted to, but without avail. A letter has been found in the pocket of her dress. Miss James was not heard moving in her room during the night or the early hours, neither was she seen in the garden, and there is nothing which would suggest anything other than suicide. For some time Miss James had been an inmate of the Devon County Asylum at Axminster. An inquest will be held to-morrow (Thura- j day).
GOLF AT PORTHCAWL. j
GOLF AT PORTHCAWL. CX>NdLUDING DAY OF THE SPRING MEETING. There was again a large muster of players on the Porthcawl Golf Links on Tuesday, when the concluding competitions in the spring meeting programme were played off. This year's meeting may be written down as the most successful in the history of the club, and the arrangements could not have been more satisfactory, much credit for this being due to the captain (Mr. Lewis Jenkins) and the secretary (Lieutenant-colonel G. P. Hatch). The weather on the concluding day was by no means so favourable to a good exhibi- tion of golf as that which prevailed on Satur- day and Monday, and a strong south-easterly wind which blew across the course interfered to some extent with the play. Rain threatened throughout the day, and there was a slight shower in the early afternoon. There were only two events on the card, namely, the open singles (bogey) and the open foursomes (bogey)., both of which attracted large entries. T. Jones won the singles with the good score of 1 up, and T. Vachell and H. O. Irvine viere the successful couple in the foursomes competition, their score being 2 down. Details:- OPEN SINGLES (BOGE Y).

Notes and Selections. !
Notes and Selections. WINDSOR, Wednesday Morning. The crowd at Castle Irwell yesterday was of only fair proportions compared with the record attendance on Monday, as was only to be expected, but those who were present had the opportunity of seeing a capital after- noon's sport—much better, in fact, than that of the preceding day. The weather looked at one time like breaking up, but only a short shower, typical of the month, fell at the conclusion of the first race, after which the sun shone brightly. To-day's fixture at Windsor will be the only fixture for South County sportsmen until Alexandra Park on Saturday, and, as a general rule, the attend- ance is always good. For the principal event, the Royal Castle Handicap, there is likely to be a field of nine runners. I like the appearance of Gallinago, Seanchuidhe, .and Amersham best. The latter was a, good fourth in the Liverpool Cup, but I fancy he will find it a. bit too much to give 51b to GALLINAGO, who ran Sinograph to a short head for second .place to Fairburn last week. Other events may be won by the following:— Holyport Selling—GRUINARD. Romney Handicap-EXA REGINA Two Year Old Selling—CLORINDA. Speedy Plate—MRS. 0. Slough Maiden—SEANCHUIDHE. MERLIN.

His Honour Judge Owen
His Honour Judge Owen TAKES HIS SEAT IN NEW LAW COURTS Judge Owen was all smiles this morning when he appeared in his full-bottomed wig for the first time in his new and palatial court of justice in the Nisi Prius Court at the Law Courts, Cardiff, and saw before him a large array of the bar to welcome him. His Honour was accompanied into court by Mr. H. Cousins, the registrar, and Mr. James, high bailiff. Amongst the gen- tlemen of the bar present were Mr. A. Par- sons, Mr. John Sankey, Mr. T. H. Stephens, Mr. George David, Mr. Lewis Morgan, Mr. Ivor Vachell, Mr. W. L. Yorcuth, Mr. F. Soott, and Mr. Porsdike. Mr. Parsons, as senior member of the barristers practising in the court, expressed, on behalf of his brethren, their pleasure at ac-eing biz, honour take his seat in the court for the first time to-day. Some of them had already 'had some slight experience of the courts at the recent assizes, and tested its acoustics and some of its other properties, which at that time gave cause of complaint. He believed, jiowever, these causes of com- plaint bad now been remedied, and he trusted his honour would find the courts comfortable as far as he himself was con- cerned, and that he would find the exten sion and the accommodation leading to an increase of litigation. (Laughter.) They owed a deep debt of gratitude to the Lord Mayor and corporation of the city for pro- viding such handsome and commodious courts.
