The Man .in the Street Mr. Richard Bell, M.P., the man who now looms large in the eye of the public, is coming to South Wales. To-morrow he will address meetings at Cardiff, and his visit is a matter of peculiar interest because of the fact that he himself acted as ralway guard n South Wales for some years. Another attraction is the nationality of Mr. Bell, who is a Welsh- man, and, moreover, a Welsh-speaking Welshman. Whatever views of his present mission my readers may hold, his great ability and power must be recog- nised by everyone. Those who have read bis reports can see that they are drawn np in the same way as those of a public department. He has in every way shown himself to be a leader of men, and is to be estimated accordingly by any with whom he comes in contact. In spite of the nervous and physical strain involved in his early life, he has risen to useful and honourable service, which is a type of the achievements of other working men in other departments of the world's industry. Mr. Bell has displayed an extra- ordinary capacity for dealing with the keenest men of the commercial world. The man who was at one time a railwaj guard is now able to discuss matters of world-wide import with magnates of finance on equal terms, never showing the least sign of weakness in any set of circumstances that can be pictured. Like many other workers-like Mabon, M.P., Mr. W. Brace, M.P., the secre- tary of the Boilermakers' Union, and others who can be named-he has risen from the ranks to help and lead those whose hard experiences in life he has himself gone through. He is no senti- mentalist or theorist, but a son of toil who has forced himself to the front by sheer merit, and claims the right to speak with men of high or low degree as a man to men. Under the excep- tional conditions now prevailing, his visit to Cardiff is of extraordinary im- portance, and his words 'will be of more than everyday significance. And what Mr. Bell has achieved in his life numbers of other railway men are capable of achieving. No body of workers are more intelligent than those on the railways of the United Kingdom, and in no situation is their work more responsible, involving, as it does, the daily safety of large numbers of travel- ling public. It has often struck me, when I have gone into a railway station to inquire about any matter how intelli- gently and ably the servants of the com- panies discharge their difficult duties. And what is true of railway servants is true of many others of t!he world's workers. Though all may not achieve the top rung of the ladder, for, if that happened, "who," as the contented navvy asked, would wheel the barrow?" may are capable of such heights. Every private soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack," declared the little Corsican who stormed the world, and many more than people often realise of the captains of industry, whether they be men's leaders or men's employers, are sprung from the ranks of those who work with thew. and sinew. Everybody is acquainted with the power wielded by the Jockey Club, which governs the sport of horse-racing, but very few have any idea of the manner in which this autocratic body came into existence. In a way, it "grew," like Topsy, and the only parallel to its influence is the Royal Yacht Squadron, with the important difference that, while the Jockey Club is all-powerful in ita department, the R. Y.S. is content with meeting once a year for one week at Cowes and leaving all the important regulations as to racing, etc., to another and, socially, more insignificant body. The former is a type of unequalled autocratic power, and the latter is an example of what it might have been, while to both the aris- tocracy of racing and yachting aspire in almost the same way that a Yankee worships a real, live British lord. Royalty patronises both, but it would be difficult to imagine the R.Y.S. treating a Prince of the Royal blood in anything like the manner in which George IV. (when Prince of Wales) was practically "warned off" the turf by the all-power- ful Jockey Club. The Jockey Club originally consisted of a few independent gentlemen who banded themselves together at New- market for the furtherance of racing, never dreaming that in* the distant future their successors would control unquestioned everything connected with the greatest sport in the British Isles. To a considerable extent its origin is wrapped in mystery, but there is little doubt that it came into existence about 1750, when noblemen and gentlemen closely interested in racing began to meet at the Star and Garter in Pall Mall, then famous for excellent cooking and destined shortly after to witness the framing of the first constitution for the game of cricket. Shortly after- wards headquarters were established at Newmarket, and in 1853 two Jockey Club Plates were run for, the horses competing belonging to members. From that time the Club gradually extended its influence, usurped incredible powers) and gradually assumed the unassailable position which it now holds. No one dare question the authority of the Jockey Club. Rules have been made and added which one would as soon dream of breaking as of flying. Indeed, it is muoh easier to upset the British constitution than the laws made by the Jockey Club. One William Taylor, a "tout," attained notoriety as being the first man "warned off" the turf. This occurred in 1821, and Taylor, who had been caught red-handed watching a trial through a field glass, dared not again to show his face on a raoe-oourse. Subse- quently, in 1821, a man named Hawkins, similarly treated, appealed in vain to the courts of law against such summary treatment, and 30 or 40 yvers later "Argus," a writer for the "Morning Post," was likewise treated by the club, whoee supremacy has been left unques- tioned right down to the present day. All interested in racing are subject to the laws of the Jockey Olub, and no monarch on his throne or Parliament in its Senate I House is more powerful in action than this autocratic body that has gradually evolved from ft small club of private tlemen.

Miners and War I MR BRACE SPEAKS ATTHE SALZBURG CONGRESS The International Miners' Congress on Friday referred to the international com- mittee the resolution in favour of the introductAon of an international miners' holiday, as also the Fesolution of the Belgian delega,tes that support should be given to the miners at Lazard, in the Liege district, who have been on strike since December. The congress adopted the first section of the old-age pension resolution, deamanding such pensions after twenty-five years of work in the mines. The Franco-Belgian proposal that the worker as well as the State and the employer should contribute to the pension fund was withdrawn after the British and United States delegates had pronounced against it. The resolution recommending a. better inspection of mines, in view of recent catas- ,tropheB, waA adopted. On behalf of Great Bribain, Mr. Edwards said he agreed with the spirit of the resolution, but did not insist upon the election of the inspectors by the men, the chief point being that they should be efficient and practical men. Miners and War The discussion as to the attitude to be adopted by the International Miners' Federa- tion on the subject of war was followed witth tihe grea.teet interest. M. Gontaux (France) expressed regret that the Hague Conference had not yet introduced obligatory arbitration for internaitional disputes. French workers were opposed to wa.r without being anti-patriotic. M. Gon. ta.ux proposed to empower the international committee to meet in the event of war threatening, and endeavour to bring about a settlement of the differences between the countries concerned by arbitration. The Belgian delegate protested emphati- cally against the slaughter of human beings. Mr. Brace declared that the British sym- pathised with the French and Belgians, all the more so as the British miners, who had fought for England in the Transvaal miners' war, had now as a token of gratitude beea driven from the mines and re-placed by cheaper Chinamen, so that the British dele- gates had had to send them CI,000 before leaving for Salzburg. The congress, it waa true, could do nothing definite. It ought to refer the question to the committee, and, if need be, assemble for an extraordinary see- sion. The German fraction represented declared that they had no mandate to support the resolution. Dr. Hue (member of the Reichs- tag) declared, on behalf of the German Miners' Union, that he did not consider the question suitable for discussion by a miners' congress. It could not be disposed of over the heads of all other trades, and fell within the province of political parties. It vis enough for miners to support all the efforts made in favour of peace. The Austrian delegates endorsed Dr. Hue's statement. After the French representatives had again unanimously urged the principle of a peace demonstration, the congress referred the matter to the international committee. Minimum Wages I The congress subsequently adopted the resolution in favour of fixing a minimum rate of wages, the British and some other foreign representatives who supported this resolution pointing out that to a great extent a minimum rate of wages was already in force in their countries. A resolution in favour of a fortnight's holi- day yearly for miners was referred to the international committee. This was the last item on the agenda. Next year's congress will meet in Paxis.- Renter.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY I At Friday's hearing of the Standard Oil case it transpired that Mr. John D. Rocke- feller's present holdings in the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey are 247,692 shares, which is a little over one-fourth of the total number of shares outstanding. It appeaireu from the treasurer's testimony tha.t the profits oi the company since 1882 have amounted to zigo,ooo,ooo. The treasurer admitted that the Standard Oil Company's exports were practically all I the refined oil which went abroad. He admitted tihat the Association of Indepen- dent Oil Refiners of Pennsylvania entered into an agreement with the Standard Oil Company, in consideration of a sale of 150,000 barrebs of crude oil daily, to turn over to the latter-all refined oil for export. This seemed an admission that the Standard Oil Com- pany's policy was to control the raw material and to throttle competition. fhe treasurer admitted that, although the 150,000 barrels daily were to be sold at the market price, yet the Standard Oil Company itself fixed the market price for them.-Reuter.

BETTER THAN NOTHING I Lord Rosebery, replying to the toast of The House of Lords" at a dinner of the Incorporation of Bonnet-makers and Dyers in Glasgow on Friday night, said he was not a House of Lords' man. He was a Second Chamber man. He had never been able to defend the present constitution of the House of Lords. He had stoutly attacked it, and had endeavoured to reform it. But, on the other hand, from the bottom of his heart he was convinced that a seoond effective Chamber was neoessary both for the welfare of the country and the maintenance of its Constitution. Lord Roseoery frankly said the House of Lords was suffering in popular reputation, not from what it had done, but from what it had left undone; not for ful- filling its functions, but for having abdi- cated them during the last ten years. If it had always been a Chamber of revision and correction, it would have stood to-day higher ia esteem than it did. The House of Lords might be a weak barrier, but "he would rather have a weak barrier than no barrier at all."

BROOCH INSTEAD OF TICKET I Isabella Wheeler, 30, WIaDIt into the shop of Mr. Ellas Etuaer. jeweller, of 33. St. Mary- street, Cardiff, on Friday afternoon, and asked him to give her a.n infirmary ticket. When he turned his back to get the ticket Isabella stole a gold safety-pin brooch, value 6s., from the counter. A little later Polioe- ooosfcaible George Jones noticed her offering something for sale in Carodin«e-«treet. He arrested her on suspicion, and afterwards was able to connect her with the theft in St. Maxy-etceet. She was sentenced to one mrfynith's imprisonment at Cardiff Police-court this morning.

MADAME ROSE ETTINGER I Mrs. Frances Braun, the well-known operatic vocalist, known as Madame Rose Bttinger, was charged at Kingsbridge, Devon, on Friday with attempting to commit suicide by shooting hereelf with a revolver at South Milton, on September 2. Mrs. Johns, the landlady, stated that on the day in question she heard a shot fired in the bedroom above heir kitchen. She rushed upstairs and saw a revolver on the floor and the room full of smoke. Witness obtained assistance from next door. Mrs. Braun had lodred with witness since April 3, and had been in bad health all the time. She was attended by a doctor, and had been confined to her bedroom a good deal. The Benoh said they regarded defendant as temporarily insame when the attempt was made and in dismissing the cam advised that rite be kept free from worry. i

CARDIFF CAPTAIN'S DEATH 'Me miu&h t?amer City left Cardiff on August 25 for Genoa, under the command 7t Captain William Anderson, and during the voyage he became seriously ill, and on the vessel's arrival at the Italian port he was conveyed to hospital in a very critical condition. Every attention was paid to him at the hospital, but he succumbed from fatty degeneration of the heart.

THE LATEST DREADNOUGHT Preliminary preparations for building a battleship of the Dreadnought olass are to be proceeded with immediately at Devon- port. The keel plan, as originally intended, wiH be laid down early in November. The displacement of this latest type of armoured vessel will be 19,300 tons, as against 18,600 tons of the Temeraire. The constructional drawings bare arrived.

A Fail of Roof I —————*————— COEGNANT COLLIER KILLED Frank O'Neil, aged about 48, of Cambrian- cottages, Maesteg, was killed at the Coeg- nant Colliery, Maesteg, to-day. O'Neil, who was a repairer, was pulling out some timber, when a "fall" occurred, and he was completely buried. Several workmen at once set to work to extricate him, and had almost succeeded when another fall of about 80 trams occurred. When he was at last got out he was found to be dead. I O'Neil leaves a widow and three children. Collier's Skull Crushed Dr. Macarteney held an inquiry at the Town-hall, Cinderford, yesterday afternoon touching the death of Henry Barton, aged 21, who was killed in Lightmoor Colliery. Evidence was given by William Smith and William Hewlett, who were working with the deceased, stating that a lump of coal fell from the top-about 7ft.—on to the back of deceased's head, crushing his skull and causing instant death. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

BROKEN-HEARTED, NOT INSANE." Lover's Message Before Suicide Details of a love tragedy were brought to light at an inquest on William Causey, aged 25, at Ulvereton yesterday. Miss Wilding, a tall young lady, said she kept company with Causey for five years, but elie broke off his compan ion ship four months ago. He threatened her twice, and on Wednesday night when she was with Joseph Rainford in Rake-lane, Ulverston, Causey made his aj^earanoe. He asked her if she were going to "make it up" three times, and when she replied in t.he negative the third time he produced a revolver and shot at her twice. She fell, amd he placed the weapon in his own mouth and killed himself. She was not hurt, the bullets glancing off, but her clothing was burned. The police said that Causey had blown two OIl his bottom teeth to pieces and theml the bullet had gone upward into his head. In his lodg-ings they found the following note .— Just a line to let you know I intend killing myself and the girl I have always loved. It is all through her mother. I am not insane, only broken-hearted. I wish everything I possess to be given to my half-brother. May God forgive me.— W. CAUSEY. The jury returned a verdict that deceased shot himself, without expressing an opinion as to the state of his mind.

COLONIAL'S ADVENTURE f Henny Edward King, 19, was indicted at the Old Bailey yesterday for robbery with violence from William Johnson and stealing £.5 and a Canadian money order for LZIO. It was stated by Mr. Roderick, who prose- cuted, that the offence was one of an aggra- vated character. On the night of August 23 the prosecutor, a visitor to this country from Canada was accoeted by the prisoner. He took 'him into a public-house and upon leaving he was attacked by the prisoner a.nd another man He was knocked down by a blow on the jaw and then brutally kicked about the body, after which his pookete were riflefl amd he was left lying on the ground in a. eemi-conscaons state. The following day King was arrested in the act Of attempting to oash the stolen order at the General Poet Offloe. Accused waa found guilty and, previous loonviotiona having been proved, was sen. tenced to two years' hard labour.

M.P, AND CONSTITUENTS I The footpaths dispute between Mr. Osmond Williams, the member for Merionethshire, and his constituents in the vicinity of the former's newly-acquired property near Deudraeth Castle, has developed a new phase, which may lead to an amicanle adjustment of existing differences. Follow- ing upon the adverse criticism passed upon his conduct by his Festiniog constituents at the Glanypwll meeting, as already reported, Mr. Osmond Williams intimated to Penrhyn- deudraeth Parish Council his desire to meet them for friendly discussion of the matter. The interview has not yet taken place. Meantime, summonses against the men who defaced the notice-boards closing the path- way are down for hearing next Thursday, before which further steps for adjustment are anticipated.

KRUGER'S WANDERINGS I Kruger—a Persian cat-appeared at West London yesterday claimed by two different persons. Mrs. Col burn, of Fulham, was summoned by Mra. Marechal, a neighbour, for illegally detaining Kruger. and it was stated that Kruger went out from Mrs. Mareohal's house on Sunday week, and was afterwards found at Mrs. Oolbum's house. Mr. Leslie Smith, suppporting the sum- mons, produced Kruger's photograph, and then, at the magistrate's suggestion, Kruger himself was brought out of a basket. The Magistrate stroked the oat. compa.red it with the photograph, eventually decided that it belonged to Mrs. Marechal. and made an order that it should be given up to her.

CHARGE AGAINST RAILWAYMEN I William Henry Reee, Fred J. Joslyne, Henry Hill, and David John Vaughan, employes of the Great Western Railway Company, were charged at Swansea With the theft of a case of whisky, valued, at E2 2L, from a track on the Danygiraig siding, Mr. H. Thompson appeared for the defence. The prisoners were remanded until Thurs- day for certain evidence.

iShun the Mutton Chop! DR. OLDFIELD SCATHES SIR J. CRICHTON-BROWNE Dr. Josiah Oldfleld, of Harley-street, the well-known advocate of fruit diet, in the course of an interview with a press repre- sentative on Friday scathingly criticised Sir James Crichton-Browne's recent remarks regarding the efficacy of meat as diet. "Sir James Crichton-Browne has been talk- ing about two things," said DT. Oldfield; first, about what he calls the craze of girls wanting to get thin, and, secondly, about the evils of what he calls vegetarianism. With regard to the lower classes, Sir Jaanes Is entirely wrong. The majority of poor girls are already thin through bad food and want of food. They ha^e no need to try a.nd get thin. With regard to the higher classes, too, he,, is hopelessly wrong. There is no finer set of women in the world that I know of than the English higher class of the ooming generation; amd I do not find amongst them anything of such a craze as Sir James talks about. "If Sir James will only read his Bible carefully he will find in the first chapter of Genesis that man was put upon. this earth as a fruitarian. If he will turn to the last obapter of the Bible he will find that man caa only attain to the Millennium stage by becoming a fruitarian again. I agree with Sir James, however, tha.t profesoiorn-al vege- tarianism has done much harm, in that it has been allied with faddism of all sorts. But the new spirit is the spirit- of fruit- arianism in the widest sense of the word. Sir James speaks simply on theory or hearsay evidence. I speak from having tried meat-eating1 for twenty years a.nd fruitarianism for a quarter of a century. There is to-day a new spirit abroad, a spirit of scientific humaneness which considers the a.gonies which precede the carrying of the meat to the table. It is this spirit that is leavening the best classes of the people, and is demanding for the future race a dietary in harmony with it-that is, a fruitarian diet. Rome fell through the luxury of her meat dietary, and we are warning people that the future of England lies in a return to a more ascetic Spartanism."

FELL INTO DRY DOCK I A Terrible Swansea Accident I ) A terrilbleaccident occurred at the Cam- brian Dry Dock, Swansea, to-day. The City of Liverpool, a well-known liner, was in the dock, and William M'Quirk, a single man, aged 50, a native of Arklow, Ire- land, was engaged in carrying rubbish to the quayside. He was subsequently missed, and eventually has dead body waa found in the mad on the gridiron, having fallen from the ship. The poor man's skull was badly frac- tured.

WEST-END BURGLARS I A daring barglary from the home of Miss C. Briscoe, at Hyde Park Mansions, was reported to the West End police yesterday. Jewelry to the value of more than L500 was taken by the thieves, who secured an entrance some time during Thursday night. The stolen property, which was contained in a jewel case and a despatch-box, included some private correspondence, and the follow- ing articles of jewouery:- Ten gold brooches. Five gold bracelets. Six dia.mond and pearl buttons. Thx& gold neckctoains. Eig-ht gold rings. One gold pendant set with pearls. One pair of gold spectacles. The bracelets, brooches, and rings were set with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls. A careful examination of the rifled premises has been made by the detectives engaged in the case, and the robbery is believed to be tfoe work of the daring jewel gang which has made so many rich hauls in London this season.

TO BE MENTALLY TESTED I Mr. Thomas Ledward, a gentleman of inde- pendent. means, of The Coppioe. Meophama, charged with threatening the life of his gar- dener, was again brought before the Chat- ham magistrates yesterday.

REVOLUTION'S TOLL I A remarkable series of figures telling the story of the revolutionary outbreaks in Russia from February, 1905, to last June, so far as the toll of victims is concerned, are available to-day.

These are divided as follows: — Killed in the streets  19,144 Executed or lynched 2'381 Committed suicide "——Mi Wounded ? The objects of fruitless assaults 441

MARRIED AT FIFTEEN A sad ease was heard at Stoke-on-Trent Pohce-cfburt yesterday when Charles Wardle, aged 35, was charged with running away and eaving his wife chargeable to the Stoke-on- Trent Union. The relieving officer said the parties were married in April last, and the wife was then fifteen years old. Defendant ran away on June 1. and his wife gave birth to a child in the workhouse the following month. The husband had since been in prison for shop-breaking. The wife pleaded for her husband, saying he was working now. The Stipendiary said he would give Wardle one more chance, and discharged him.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S HEALTH I Mr. Chamberlain is still staying at High- bury, and during tKe recent fine weather has spent a large portion of his time in his gardens and orchid-houses. He has taken a close interest in the work of pruning the trees, personally superintending and directing the operations; a.nd has considerably bene- fited by being so much in the open. The improvement in his health, though slow, is distinctly progressive. Mr. and Mrs. Austen Chamberlain are also staying a.t Highbury.

I PRIZE-FIGHTER'S STATUE Mr. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, who created an entertaining controversy last year by making feminine angels for one of the ahapels of the new cathedral of St. John the Divine in New YoTk. is about to attempt to immortalise "Bob" Fitasimmons in bronze. M." Borgltnn is enthusiastic about his sub- ject. "There is nothing in his face," says he, "but he is a sublime example of the first- class fighting man." 1—

I CITY GAS OFFICIAL RETIRES J Becret, is felt by Cardiff shareholders amd gas consumers at the fact that Mr. Alfred Gibbon is about to sever his connection with the Cardiff Gas Company after over twenty years' service. Mr. Gibbon has proved a most capable and courteous officer. A com- plimentary smoking concert is being orga- nised to take place at the Royal Hotel Bhortly.

Naval Surprise OIL TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR COAL A number of leading papers in America. including those known as semi-official organs, publish a story to the effect that the British Government has fully decided on expert advice to substitute oil for Welsh coal at all naval bases throughout the world, and that important concessions have been pur- chased by tne British Admiralty on all oil- producing lands in Nigeria. The newf. has come as a surprise to United States naval men, as it was thought that the use of oil for British warships was merely one of those experimental matters which see years roll by before the announcement of a decision. London correspondents of American papers Vouch for the truth of the story, and give facts as to the purchase of a large quantity of oil from Texas, which is stored at present at the Falkland Islands. A leading Chicago paper, whose London correspondent is generally well informed, gives the price paid for the oil from Texas and the exact port of shipment. He goes on to state that great secrecy has been main- tained by the Admiralty as to the Nigerian concessions, as some difficulty arose before the completion of the matter. The efficacy of oil as fuel for steamers waa recently demonstrated when the Goldmouth, of the Shell Line, one of Sir Marcus Samuel's ships, arrived at Rotterdam, after steaming from Singapore round the Cape, a distance of 11,791 miles, in fifty-two days without a. stop, the longest non-stop run ever made. Experiments have been carried on for some time past in the Navy to test the value of oil fuel, and as a result the torpedo-boat Gadfly has been given furnaces adapted only for oil, there being! no provision for burning coal. The oil, which would aprear to he crude Texan oil, burns without smoke or smell, and requires only one stoker," instead of several. On the Dreadnought, also, stowage for oil fuel has been arranged for, and tanks for the storage of the fuel have been constructed at Portland and several other stations.

ROYAL VISIT SOUVENIR There were 40,000 happy children in Cardiff on Friday afternoon, when that number of souvenir chocolate boxes, oommi-emorativo of the recent Royal visit to the city, were pre- sented to the pupils in the elementary schools, as the gift of the Cardiff Incorpo- rated Chamber of Commerce. A description of the boxes and their contents has been already published. The task of distribution had been relegated by the chamber to the teaching staffs, and it was a pleasure to witness the delight of the little ones as they took possession of the gifte and hastened to carry them homewards. In a few days the school-children will also be made the recipients of medals commemo- rative of the same auspicious visit. These are being provided out of the Lord Mayor's special fund, and Sir William Crossman and the deputy mayor (Alderman David Jones) intend to present the medals personally to every individual child. The firm entrusted with the contract have stipu- lated to supply the medaJa at the rate of 3,000 every alternate day, and they will be distributed in the various schools by the Lord Mayor and his deputy as the consign. ments arrive. It was hoped that the first lot would have arrived ere this, and they are now daily expected.

THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT The Church Times" in the course of a warlike leading article this week in support of the archbishop's position says"The Act, as the Bishop of Birmingham says, introduces one more confusion into the confused rela- tions of the Church of England to the State of England. But this will be no theoretical anomaly. It will be a running sore. For unless the whole Church, led by the episco- pate, takes a very firm stand from the first, it can- hardly be doubted that parties wishing to avail themselves of the Act will find com- plaisant clergy to oblige them. There will be certain fashionable London and provin- cial churches where it will be known that no difficulties will be raised; and, having regard to the avowed, intention of various Broad Church dignitaries and to the views known to be entertained in very high quarters, we must fear that unions between a man and the sister of his wife at such and such a catbedral, at the Abbey, or at the Chapel Royal, will appear hereafter among tho items of smart society intelligence. And then will follow the excommunications expli- citly provided for by the Deceased Wifes Sister Bill of 1903, as introduced and read a second time by a Conservative House of Com- mons. Or will they not follow? In either case the scandal will be intolerable."

SAILORS' MISSION CLUB The new sailors' mission club which has been established at the Bute Docks, Cardiff, was formally opened by Mr. Richard Cory on Friday afternoon, before a large audience. The club, which is to be run under the auspices of the Incorporated Seamen and Boatmen's Friend Society, is situated at No. 3, Stuart- street, directly opposite the Pier-head. It has been comfortably fitted up', and contains a number of large, airy bedrooms and sitting- rooms, whilst the tariff will be found exceed- iugly moderate, the charges being 6d. for a bed, with proportionately low prices for meaJs. There is one large room which will be found very convenient for the holding of meetings, Ac. Specially-appointed officials will be told off to watch all ships coming into port with the object of acquainting sea- men of the fact that the accommodation at the premises is at their disposal. Mr. Richard Cory (who presided) mentioned that the premises opened by Lord Tredegar in New- port lately had met with great success, and he hoped that the Cardiff club,would be appreciated to the same extent. Mr. Cory then performed the interesting ceremony of hoisting the Union Jack over the premises.

BROTHER'S CHARGE OF NEGLECT At an inquest held at Swansea Hospital on Friday on the body of Thomas Philip Beynon, aged 28, a tram-man at Killan Colliery, Dun- vant, William Beynon, brother of deceased, said his foot was injured when three trams ran wild at the colliery. Witness was under the impression that his brother had been neglected by the doctors. They hardly looked at his foot, never put a bandage on, and only gave a lotion. He was afterwards sent to Swansea Hospital.—Dr. Hector Jones, of Swan- sea Hospital, said deceased was admitted on Sunday, suffering from blood poisoning and terrible inflammation. Deceased died from pysemea. There was a slight cut on the foot. —During the evidence the question arose as to whether the real injury was caused by the accident or by the chafing of a boot.— The inquiry was adjourned till October 3.

COMPENSATION CLAIM FAILS Mrs. Ann Morris, Church Villas, Llansamlet, at Swansea Coanty-court on Friday claimed from the Birchgrove Collieries (Limited) £ 272 for the loss of her husband, who died in the pit on April 30, 1906, the cause alleged being th" fall of a stone on his foot whilst he was removing rubbish from the roof. The case for the prosecution was that death was due to shock, but medical evidence was called for the defendants to the effect that death was quite typical of heart failure.—His Honour Judge Bryn Roberts gave judgment for tho respondents, with costs

TWO MINERS KILLED Two brothers, named George and John Bowker, while working together on Friday in one of the pits at the Birohenwood Colliery, Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, were over- whelmed by a fall of roof. Both were killed on the spot.
