TIN-PLATE WAGES
TIN-PLATE WAGES At the Tredegar Arma Hotel, Newport, a largre nnmber of delegates, repreeentitLg the Momnonthahire tin-plate industry, assembled on Saturday to consider the questions of concessions granted by the workmen employed in some of the works in the dis- trict. Ur. James Tbsmiaa (Briton Ferry) presided. Several members of the executive of the workmen's Union were present. At Tynewydd-and Avondale, it waa eta-ted, -the men were giYing concessions of three sheets on 31 x 21, and this was considered to be a reduction in wages of 6 per cent. It wafl also reported that at Waterloo Werks and at Pontymaster the men were paid by weight on certain orders, and this was also held to be a violation of the Conciliation Board's agreement.-It was resolved that steps should be taken to induce the following works 1-n Monmouthshire to toe the line" :-Po;nty- mfeter, Waterloo, Tynewydd, and Avomdale; and that the men's leaders should be instructed to ta.Se measures to that end.

Mr. Hughes said tha.t defendant had worked for the same company continuously for 31 years without a single complaint. He had been discharged from his post, and even refused work as a collier. The former was a proper thing to do. bnt to refuse the man tbo opportunity of earning his livelihood was a serious matter. Defendant was sent to prison for seven days for one offence and fined 21 for the other.

——: The Man in the Street
— — The Man in the Street —4 "How to be happy though married" is emphatically answered in the affirma- tive by "the lady of fourteen husbands." Airs. A. W. Townsend has proved married life both pleasurablo and varied, and those misguided matrons who have been satisfied with one husband each do not know what life and happiness are—they may think they do—until they read of this remarkably much-married woman. But it should be plainly stated that even the lady who is now enjoying whole- hoort-ed possession of her fourteenth "life's partner" believes in one husband at a time—'though we are told that she comes of Mormon stock. How insipidly tasteless are life's ordinary romances— of those who believe in affinities, two hearts becoming one for all eternity, two atoms to be united for all time, etc. —after reading t-he cheerful history of this catholic-minded, never-wearying-in- good-marrying lady! That she com- menced the business of being given in marriage at the lucky age of thirteen does not detract one whit from the fascinating history of her unique career, and the only thing that could equal this marvellous record in its interest would be a collection of the different opinions held concerning this experienced wife by each of her fourteen husbands. As I have recently given some gratuitous and well-meant advice to ladies who want husbands, with some information about those parts of the world where men are greatly in the minority, I hestitate in repeating Mrs. Towasend's opinion, that no maid should go husbandless in this world of great and many opportunities. She says there is no sense in naturally affectionate women living alone and carrying lumps of ice where their hearts ought to be. And she holds that where a woman is kindly disposed she ought to make men happy —one at a time. Also, when she fails to inspire happiness the sooner she leaves him and hands over the task to another woman the better. The idea uone at a time" is distinctly happy and highly sensible; though it may be at variance with her Mormon ancestors in the oppo- site picture of a good supply of wives to each man. Personally, I favour the Mormon idea, and would let every able- bodied man have sufficient wives to keep him in comparative comfort. However, the lady's moderation should go a long way towards oonvincing the sceptical and in obtaining converts. A good husband or two should be found among fourteen or more—one at a time. The main diffi- culty will probably be that of the cook and the bare-the huabands must be first caught. Mrs. Townsend never had any diffi- oulty in catching husbands, which is at j least encouraging to the faint-hearted. Having no patience with those who remain single, she maintains that any woman can marry the man she takes a fancy to—only, "she must go after him artistically, and then he will not have a ghost of a chance." Certainly, Mrs. Towrtsgnd' is an "artist," and she should set up a school to teach the gentle art of ('husband-catching." Just think of the results after a term or two at the "hubby- netting" oollege No" wallflowers," no more talit of bachelor taxes, a general decline in carpet slipper making for pet curates, and the disappearance of swear- ing parrots and toy poodles! Not very surprising, if somewhat disappointing, Mrs. Townsend frankly confesses that she dislikes discussing some of her hus- bands, remarking, "by the time you have Lad six or seven you lose track of them." In her venturings upon the matriconial sea she preferred old soldiers, of whom she tried several. She did not always draw a "prize packet," and, generally, when she landed a man who was really good to her he died. That is a habit the good have always bad, and is the reason there is so much wickedness in the world. Mrs. Townsend disbelieves in "nagging" a bad husband—"let him go 1". But Mrs. Townsend is a lady of Nebraska, where divorce is much easier than in this slow- going part of the world. Which explains much. More or less unconsciously, clergymen and ministers are largely responsible for a great amount of the Sunday labour they so properly and earnestly deplore. The more famous of their number, the men whoso views are looked up to by many admirers in different quarters, often require reporting on a Sunday, and, ironical as it may appear, journalists sometimes find it their Sabbath duty to work hard in taking down and transcrib- ing a diatribe against- Sunday trading or working. At their monthly meeting at Swansea on Saturday the South Wales Branch of the National Union of Journalists called attention to this, and decided to approach ministers of religion with a view to reports being supplied to the press by speakers or secretaries in order to fvoid this form of Sunday labour, and to enable a hardworking section of the community to have one day of ease a week where possible. I allude to this knowing that many preachers will willingly Ickin in this movement to give the reporter his day of rest now their attention has been called to a probably unconsidered matter. A question disturbing many breasts in the neighbourhood of the Welsh Metro- polis is the aim and scope of the work of the freshly-formed Development Com- mittee. Is it to be Cardiff City or Groater Cardiff, with Penarth and Barry? I shrink from adding difficulties to the young body now learning to walk, and would not like to hamper her sphere of usefulness by helping to stir up local discord. I would, therefore, humbly suggest that this should be the first ques- tion considered by the committee, whether it is wise to confine its opera- tions to the city or to the whole of the import-ant port and distriot. There arc many pros and cons. in oonnection with either view, and little harm, and possibly much good, may result from the airing of views by stalwarts in either camp. The matter is important enough to be discussed, and whatever the result it should help the committee to make a i tetter, firmer, fairer start.

-I GLAMORGAN & CAMBRIAN I
GLAMORGAN & CAMBRIAN Though speculation is rife, it is premature to say definitely what will be the ultimate result of the negotiations now proceeding in regard to the projected amalgamation of the Cambrian and Glamorgan Coal Companies. The directorates of both concerns are in constant touch, but it is gleaned from what is regarded as an authoritative source that, although the completion of the arrange- ments is imminent, the precise nature of the terms of agreement have not been ratified. The trend of events, however, shows pretty clearly that Mr. D. A. Thomas's company will form the dominant factor in the new combine, it being stated that, although Mr. Hood may, and probably will, continue to hold a considerable interest in the concern, the indications are that the greater part of the Glamorgan Coal Company will be bought by the Cambrian, and several changes are foreshadowed some have already been made-in the managerial department of the Glamorgan Company,' and the offices of the joint concern will be located at Llwynypia. Apart from the general currency given to the rumours pointing in that direction, it may be regarded as pretty certain that Mr. Hood. although he may even retain a seat on the directorate, will not take an active part in the management, and the changes which are now being brought about will practically involve the ret-irement of Mr. Hood as far as his connection with the Welsh coalfield is concerned There are, it is stated, other changes, of a more private character, and Mr. Hood will, probably, in the future reside permanently on his estat-es in Scotland. He has considerable interests in the Midlothian collieries.

) Decency Hooted Down
) Decency Hooted Down I QUARREL OF SUFFRAGETTES Another horrid difference has arisen, and tends to Etill further disunite the serritd ranks of the suffragettes. At the oonferenoa of the Women's Freedom League in London on Saturday a resolution was proposed by Mrs. Holmes exalting the women who have been &ent to gaol for brawling at the resi- dences of Ministers, &c., in connection with the cause Thereupon a Miss Murby, of the Clapham branch of the league, rose and declared that the members of the league were not justified in going to the houses of Cabinet Ministers and adopting a line of tactics not such as political opponents would approve, but tactics such as ordinary street dis- turbers would aipprove. (Loud cries of Shame! ") Miss Murby: I do not mind those cries. I am convinced that what I am saying is per- fectly right. Women have, I hope, by this time learned that it is not necessary to na-g," and I say that a particular kind of protest at street doors is a process of ■nagging. (Cries of "No, no," arid "Shame!" and renewed interruptions.) Shouts and Pin-pricks I It is not necessary for us to carry on argu- ment with a man who is in a temper as a result of the league's policy. Is that parti- eular kind of action likely to bring about our ends? (" Yes.") I say, emphatically, No." I believe women have too much reason to pursue a pin-prick policy. (A Voice: "Too milch feeling to allow injustice," and shouts of "Order, order.") We are asking for this vote on the grounds of the deepest possible reason, and we can justly appeal for it We must show a persistency which is urged defi- nitely by brains. (Hear, hea.r.) Our aim might, in my opinion, have been more effec- tively pursued by a policy of actual educa- tio-n-in enlightening the women of the country, and not by carrying on a particular process of alienation. I cannot support a motion which seems to imply sympathy with methods to which I am constitutionally opposed. (Hear, hear.) "Dignified and Proper" I Mrs. Holmes, who last rose, asked tne con- ference to remember that women were citizens, but outlaws. No law of this country could, therefore, claim recognition by women. Mrs. How Martyn The calling upon Ministers was done in a dignified and proper mauner. It has been admitted by Sir ItoaxY Campbell-Bannerman that we have a perfect right to pester Ministers whenever we can. Meantime the excitement had been grow- ing momentarily, and reached its climax when three delegates rose together. Two of these were ordered to resume their seatt The one who remained standing exclaimed at the top of her voioe, The way the con- ference has received Miss Murby's protest if disgraceful." (Shouts of dissent and uproar. Mrs. Billingfon Greig, who presided, pre Mr;s. Billin,-fon Gwrae;-?g;, th that MiFs MurbY tested with great warmth that Miss Murby had never been to Holloway Gaol, caged like a wild animal and fed on abominable food. (Cheers.) The attack was unfair, because of the courage and self-sacrifice of their sisters. The resolution was then put and carried, Miss Murby and the ladies who had risen in her defence being the only dissentients. After this further differences manifested themselves. An amendment suggesting that I public opinion should be educated by attending public meetings to ask questions in an orderly and constitutional manner at the proper time was supported by Lewis- ham and Chelsea. A Cardiff delegate said her branch con- sidered breaking up meetings out of date and rot necessary for advertisement; but the resolution was lost, and it was decided that all members mast approve, though they need not actually participate, in militant action.
I STORY OF BLACK PIRACY I
I STORY OF BLACK PIRACY German Ships Surrounded and Looted The crew of the German steamer Ascan Woermann has just arrived at Hamburg with a remarkable tal-e of black pirates on the west coast of Africa. The ship struck on a reef on the night of January 9, off Grand Baffa, and filled ra-pidly. The distress signals remained unanswered, and the crew were compelled to leave the ship for the pinnace and other boat3, but remained near the vessel. Scarcely had this been done when, through the darkness, dozens of canoes filled l with natives shot out, making for the wreck. The blacks climbed the sides like eats, pil- laging everything possible. Captain aaheiihora attempted to return with the crew, but was forced to abandon the attack, the blacks assuming a threaten- ing attitude, being armed and in overpower- ing numbers. The shipwrecked orew landed and waited for five days hoping for help, and seeing the steamer plundered till she sank. They then set out for Monrovia, where they arrived completely exhausted. They were brought back to Hamburg by the twin steamer Lucie Woermann. It is stated that similar piracies are fre- quently happen-ing on the coast.
ISTRUCK WITH A JEMMY
STRUCK WITH A JEMMY A strange affair occurred .on Saturday afternoon at the Cardiff Empire, a,nd its victim, a young man, Mr. A. Kennedy Fraser, of Methuen, Whitchurch, had a remarkable story to tell the management and the police. He etated that he went to the Empire in the afternoon about four o'clock to book seats. The booking office, however, had been closed, but, in case the clerk might still be in the building, he walked to the doors leading to the dress circle Immpdiat,ely he opened them a man, who had been crouching by the wall, sprang up and struck him on the head with a jemmy. He inilict.e,d a wound which bled freely, and, glancing at the newcomer-and finding, pos- sibly, that he was not the person he intended to strike—said, That is the way to the lavatory" (pointing down the passage). "You can wash the blood off there." Then he took himself off, and, passing through the dress circle to the stage, must have gone off by the stage door A few minutes afterwards an employe at the Empire found Mr. Fraser trying to tend to his hurt. He had a nasty, but not serious, scalp wound, which was dressed at a chemist's shop. Ho stated that his assailant was a stranger to him, but he was able to give some description of him to the police, who at once instituted inquiries. Another curious point is that shortly after the occurrence the booking clerk found two undischarged blank cartridges lying in the passage close to the lavatory. Mr. C; H. S. Dring. the manager, afterwards told one of our representatives that he believed the object of the aggressor was robbery, and. hearing Mr. Fraser, he mistook him for some- one who might have possession of the keys.
IWHAT BISMARCK DRANK
WHAT BISMARCK DRANK It was a mixture of Moselle and seltzer that Bismarck used in the Keidista.g to keep his hoarseness down and his spirits up. The s-up-ply used to be maintained by a relay of waiters running between the Chancellor's bench and the kitchen. At the zenith of his fame, Ministers, Secretaries of State, and Privy Councillors were alone worthy to conooc-t the mixture, and when Bismarck was making his last great speeches in the Reichstag they were kept busy behind him with wine bottle and seltzer syphon in composing his drink, for Bismarck required eighteen or two dozen glasses of Moselle and water during a speech.—"The Epicure."
ISHEPHERD'S LAZY LIFE
SHEPHERD'S LAZY LIFE The life of a shepherd may seem to many to be an ideal one-it especially appeals to those of a poetical temperament; but these are the people who see the shepherd in summer. A more practical idea of his life would bo arrived at if they considered his duty in winter, says "Country Life." Then it is that the shepherd has to face hard- ship and show real work. The work to be done is of a dangerous and fatiguing nature; every year hundreds of sheep are buried in snowdrifts on the Welsh moun- tains, and very often days and even weeks elapse before these can he discovered.

I A Crew's Sufferings
I A Crew's Sufferings SIX DAYS WITHOUT WATER TO DRINK I News reached Plymouth on Saturday to the effect" that Captain Spurr and the orew of the British schooner Arnoa had been rescued at sea by the barque Osberga, and had reached Savannah. They were taken off their waterlogged and submerged craft by Captain Hatfield 25 miles off the West Indies. The shipwrecked men had been without water to drink, and had only raw potatoes and salt pork to eat, from the 12th to the 18th of January. They had to stand almost up to their arm- pits in water most of the time, and could not rest or sleep. They attempted to signal to several vessels, but could not make them- selves seen or heard. They saw several chances of rescue go when the sails of other ships disappeared over the horizon. Finally the Osberga arrived on the scene, and as the Arnoa was a menace to naviga- tion the wreck was set on fire as soon aa the orew had been removed.
GELLIGAER IN GLORY
GELLIGAER IN GLORY Urban Powers Granted A great historical change has come to the parisih of Gelligaer, the county governing body having intimated that urban powers have been granted. The intimation was sent on Saturday to Mr. Edward Richards (chairman of the over- seers), Mr. W. H. Harries, clerk of the parish council), and Mr. f. T. James, of Merthyr, clerk of the district council, and the announcement will cause 'the liveliest satis- faction in the Rhymney Valley. According to the communication the old order of government will terminate on March 31 next, and it, of course, follows that an election is imminent. The effect of it all is tha.t the parish council enclg it career, and greater powers are conferred upon the distriot council. Had such a state of things existed five years ago the pa.rt of the Rhym- ney Valley affected would have enjoyed incalculable benefits. Ward Representation The terms of the Order were not entirely unexpected, as they carry out the hint given by the commissioners at the first inquiry, whereby it was stated that Bargoed, as the predominant partner, was entitled to six members, and Pontlottyn, Tirphil, Vochriw, BedJinog, and Gelligaer Village wards have three each. It was generally conee-dc-d that Bargoed was entitled to the greatest representation, but the great bone of contention at the second inquiry was. that they ought only to be granted five members, and, in view of the ,q..aii,d, in view of the expected growth of the Cylla Valley, it was strongly put forward that the Hengoed Ward should at least be awarded four members. Providing the Order is confirmed by the Local Government Board, the election will take place in April.
CARDIFF FINANCES
CARDIFF FINANCES At a meeting of the Cardiff Corporation Finance Committee to day Alderman F. J. Beacan presiding, it was reported that the a.mount due to the bank at the present time was ±73,707. The public works committee recommended that the finance committee should advise the council to pave Broadway from Clifton- street to Cyril-crescent with ashphalt and re-lay the footways of that section; also to apply to the Local Government Board for sanctin to borrow the sum of Ll,225 for the same. The Chairman: Is Broadway only ander macadam at preeent ? Mr. Saunders: And water. Mr. Kirk: And in very bad condition. Continuing, Mr. Kirk asked whether it was the intention to go any further than the points mentioned with this work. Mr. Mander said he thought the people in Roath must be satisfied with instalments. The suggestion of the public works com- mittee was agreed to, and it was also decided to borrow the sum mentioned. It was agreed to recommend the council to apply to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow a sum of £ 3,576 for the making of roads and drainage and the new portion of the cemetery between the Taff Vale Railway and the allotment gardens.

I NEW CAERPHILLY STATION
I NEW CAERPHILLY STATION It will be heard with satisfaction that a new railway station, in addition to the existing one, was started at Caerpthilly to- day. The site is at the Beddau, quite close to the old station abandoned many years ago. It will meet with the increasing growth around the Energlyn Colliery, and also afford an easy way for the inhabitants from the lower part of the town to entrain for the Aber Valley. We hear that the Brecon and Merthyyr Oompan has abandoned the colliers' station at Gilfach, which necessitates workmen entraining or detraining at Bargoed and Pengam. Property owners in Gilfaoh bitterly compla-in of the company's attitude.

IKING AND CROWN PRINCE MURDERED
KING AND CROWN PRINCE MURDERED Bereaved Queen's Heroism TRAGIC EFFORTS TO SAVE HER DYING SON THREE REGICIDES KILLED. While King Carlos of PrtugaJ, Queen I Amelia, the Crown Prince, and the Infante Manuel were on Saturday after- noon driving through the streets of Lisbon, on their return from the Villa Yicosa, on the other side of the Tagus, they were fired upon by several young men, who carried arms concealed beneath their cloaks. The King received three wounds, and the Crown Prince a similar number, and the Infante Manuel was wounded in the arm and jaw the Queen appears to have escaped unhurt, though, according to one account, a bullet grazed her shoulder. The carnage was driven to the Arsenal, when it was found that the King was already dead, and the Crown Prince expired a few minutes later. Three of the regicides were shot by the police, and arrests are said to have been made. Queen Amelia displayed splendid heroism. When the attack was made on the Royal party she threw herself in front of the Crown Prince, and thus I KING CARLOS. shielded him. That she escaped the hail of bullets is a miracle. During the I night the unfortunate lady remained seated between the bodies of her hus- band and son, with a hand on the face of each. r I The Infante Manual has succeeded to the throne, with the title of Dom Manuel II. Great excitement prevails in the Por- tuguese capital. It is supposed the I assassins were revolutionary sym- pathisers. The new King, Dom j Manuel II., has issued a proclama- tion declaring his intention to maintain I the present Constitution and the integrity of the kingdom. I Eye-Witness's Story I The Commercial Place and adjacent streets were packed with people at 4.30 p.m. At five p.m. King Carlos, the Queen, and their two eons disembarked on tihe quay. The Sovereigns were in excellent, spirits, and drove away in an open carriage, followed I by the carriages of the Ministers and func- tionaries. The procession, proceeded slowly. Hiailf the Place had been traversed when several individuate, almost completely enve- loped by lonig, dark capes, were seen to raise rifles to their shoulders and deliberately take aim at the occupants of the Royal carriage. A regular salvo followed: before anyone had time to intervene. King Carlos was wounded by three bullets. One of them buried itself in his back, another severed the carotid artery, causing the almost instantaneous death of his Majesty. The King had half risen from his ecat, but he frank back at once and died, uttering the words, "The Queen." The Crown Prince was shot in the neck and head. He fell across his mother's knee, and the Queen, with astonishing calm, rose to her full height and endeavoured with her body to screen, her two eons from further volleys of the assassins. The younger Prince Manuel wa,s wounded in the arm and the face. Meanwhile two of the murderers were shot dead by the police. T'he Poybl carriage was driven to the Arsenal. The King was already dead. The Crown Prince expired a few moments after- wards. The scene was heartrending. It was QUEEN AMEliIA. I not till seven o'clock that the Queen could be persuaded to proceed to the Palace with the Infante Manuel. Both were convulsed with sobs as they left. Details of the Crime I A crowd had collected to see tho Royal party, who were expected from Villa Vicosa, drive from the banks of the Tagus to the Eoyal Palace. The people stood in silence and the onlookers seemed to mark a certain air of distrust and fear among them. The Kin,g and the rest of the Royal Family landed, and entered the carriage in waiting, which advanced at the usual pace, no faster and no slower than customary. I Just as it was passing in front of the Ministry of Finance a young fellow, almost a boy, dressed in wha.t the Portuguese reporters call rough sporting attire, and with a. revolver in his hand, rushed out from a t L the midst of a throng of spectators, and. running towards the carriage, jumiped up behind. He at once fired at the King, who was wounded in the left side. Queen Amelia and the Crown Prince uttered cries of horror and dismay, and the Queen rose in her carriage and tried to strike a blow at the assassin with a bouquet which she was holding in her right hand The fellow then fired a second shot, which hit the King in the back. His Majesty lifted his hand to his head, end then fell back in a state of collapse on to his right side. The Work of a Moment All this passed in a moment, and then several people dashed forward and threw themselves upon the regicide, who fell to the ground, firing, as he fell, a third shot, which struck no ma.rk. Someone, probably a policeman, shot him dead as he lay on the ground. Meanwhile, a tall man, with black moustache and beard, who was wearing an enveloping mantle, and had been standing by the Ministry of the Interior, drew forth a carbine, which he had concealed under his cloak, and moved forward towards the carriage. Taking aim full at the Crown Prince he fired to him once, and then again, the bullets taking effect in his face and chest. J THE CROWN PRINCE. He was about to fire a thiird Slhot when a policeman knocked up his arm, and the next moment the men was a corpse, fulling under a rain of blows from the sword of a military officer. Prince Mamnei was also slightly wounded, but accounts at present differ grecautly as to the mauner. While the panic produced by thess terrible events was at its height the Infante Alfonso oame up in a motor-car, and drawing a revolver followed immediately behind the Royal carriage, which was still moving, holding his weapon ready for any emergency. The carriage was driven into the Marine Arsenal, at the en.tranoo to which, in the confusion that existed, it ran into a-nother carriage occupied by the suite, bufc no one was hurt. The scene at the arsenal was heart- breaking. The Queen was beside herself with grief, horror, and shock, and uttered piteous cries jU3 she turned her eyes from her dead husband to her dyimg son. The King and Prince were speedily, but carefully, carried out of the carriage into the medical hall of the arsenal, and there examined. Meeting of Two Queens Doctors came in haste, and bent over the mattresses on which the victims of revolu- tionary hatred had been laid. Blood was still gushing frop the mouth and nose of the King. Doctors could only testify that he had breathed his last, death having been due to two wounds, one in the right infra scapular region and the other in the verte- bra-I column, both bullets being still lodged in the body. The Crown Prince when brought into the arsenal was still living, but he survived only five minutes. The right cheek had been traversed by a bullet which had 'Passed out at the nape of the neck. A second ball had struck the Prince in the region of the ster- num and pierced the lung. As the doctor was dressing the wounds of the Infante Ma.Duel Queen Maria Pia. arrived. The meeting of the two Queens and the young Prince was of a most affecting description. It is narrated that the last words uttered by King Carlos as he fell back in the car- ria.ge, wounded to death were The Queen," uttered in tones of anxiety and alarm. MADRID, Sunday.
