No, dear," he replied, hie thoughts on recent events; "through the blizzards of matrimony my heart will always be fenveloped in a storm-ooo/t of love." Junior Partner: I see you have engaged a new man. Is he a good salesman? Senior Partner: Good salesman ? By jdVe! I should think he is.

For Women Folk. r HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES Spirits of wine rubbed on a white leather belt with a dean, cloth removes all stains. When ironing lace" place a piece of flannel under it; it brings up the pattern beauti- fully. To polish tiled floors, well wash the tiles, then rub over with a cloth slightly m-odsten-ed with paraffin. To prevent venetian-blind tapes from shrinking after washing tack them on the top of the blinds while wet; then put the laths in, amd let them dry. The weight of the laths prevents shrinkage. Batter and Marmalade Pudding A small jar of marmalade, six tablespoon- fuls of flour, two tablespoomfuls of shredded suet, two eggs, a taaoupful of milk salt. Butter a piedish, and spread tihe marma- lade at the bottom; press all the lumps out of the flour, mix in the suet, and a pinch of salt; make all into a smooth batter with the milk, and let it stand for half an hour, then pour it over the marmalade, and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. Serve in the dish, with sifted sugar Boiled Plaice A large plaice, quarter of a pound of salt to a gallon of water. v,cdl clean and empty your flah; draw a sharp knife down the thickest part of the middle of the back, nearly through to the bone; lay it in a fish-kettle of cold water, with salt added to the above proportion; let the ftsh simmer for eight minutes after the water begins to boil. or longer if the fish be very large. Take care no* to break it, and serve on a napkin with egg sauce or plain melted butter, a45 liked, and garndshed with parsley and slices of lemon.

"I SEA SERPENT CAUGHT I Fine Specimen of Rare Oar-Fish I Rarely, if ever, has the annual se-a-eesnpent appeared earLktr in the year than the dog- days—the days of the giant gooseberry. But this year has established a record. Not only has the sea-serpent appeared in the merry month of May,. but it has actually been fought, milgilt, brought to land, and eihibif^ to pdmirjngr crowds at threepence a time (children one penny). True, the poor creature was no longer in the heyday of Its youth when flret sighted by a Dunbar fisherman off the Haddington- shire coast. Indeed, it was actually a corpse at the mercy of crabs of prey when a valiant party of fldheranen wenft forth to i&iid their quarry, after one of the number had satisfied them, by pelting stones at it, that the def-eiloelese creature was beyond taking reprisals. Hooks were cast at the deceased mocster, a.nd at length one of than found its mark in the head. and the huge serpentine oarcaae was towed ashore in triumph. jEol-Uke in form., it was found to measure 15ft. 10in, from nose-tip to tail-tip. In oolour it is silvery-white, and possesses a brownish- Yellow fin of delicate texture, extending its whole length. By two rods of about. the thickness of an ordinary lead-pencil, which are suspended from its throat, it has been identified as an oar;fiah, belonging to the ribbons-ifsh family. Only, twenty of theee fishes, which inhabit the deepest parts of the sea, have been secured in 150 years. They are also known by the name of the "naturalist's sea-serpent." The Dutmboir specimen is for the present to be preserved in ice. —

DUMMY LETTER RUSE The four persons charged in corunectiom with an attempt to ottsm money by a forged cheque from Parr's Bank were committed for trial at Westminster yesterday. The naimea of the accused are George Jackson, alias Charles Grande, Edward Fisher, Alfred Auger, and his wiile, Annie Auger. It was alleged that the woman, acting1 on instructions from the men, employed a Dis- trict Messenger Boy to go to the Sloane- squaie branch of Parr's Bank with a cheque for L160, purportdnig to be argued by Mr. W. C. Spink. a local tradesman- The signature, being detected as a forgery, a dummy p&oket waa made op for the mes- senger boy to take back. The woman did not keep the appointment, but by a subsequent telephone call as to the whereabouts of the letter deteotives got on the track of the pri- soners. They were arrested at Regent's-park, when Jack--on -had just received and opened the dummy letter, amd shown its contents to the other prisoners. 3

DEAN FOREST PROSECUTIONS The police were the prosecutors in three insta-ncee at Coleford Police-court yesterday. Th. case in which Oliver Charles, of Dry.brook; and Thomas Oole, of Sling, colliers, were euiranoned by Superintendent Griffin for drunkeotuness on the licensed premises of the Orepool Inn, kept by Henry Nash, was dismissed. Frederick Mayo, who did not appear, was ordered to pay 23s. foT being found drunk on the licensed premises of the Sawyers A--as, Lydbrook, kept by Thomas Guest, amd for having refus.ed to quit the premises when requested to do so. Polioe-constable Holmes and the landlord gave evidence. Under the Child Messenger Act, Gmntley G. Kear, landlord of the Albert Inn, Joyford, whose wife was ai-leged to have supplied a nitfe-year-old boy with two bottles of beer, which she had negelcted to seal, was summoned, and fined 5s. and 8s. costs.

MAESTEG BOY DROWNED Mr. ilo-wel Cutihberteon held an inquest at Maesteg to-day on the body of Cyril Davies (eleven), of Gladetone-street, Maesteg, who was drowned in the Now Works Pond on Monday. It appears that the boy fell off a raft on which he and others were playing in the tmiddile of the pond. Dr. Bell Thomas said death was due to drowning, and a verdict accordingly was returned. The Ooroiner promised to approach the owners with a view of getting the pond fenced in.

Scene at an Execution GAOL YARD JAMMED WITH MOTLEY CROWD The foreign element in the principal coal- mining district of Pennsylvania, partici- pated in a novel sort of entertainment yes- terday. The Sheriff of PottsTille invited Rus- sia-ne, Italians, Hungarians, Scandinavians, and LithuanianB-100 in all-t-o witness the execution of Feliix K-adzius, a young Pole convicted of the brutal murder of a oai and child six months ago. The gaol yard was jammed three hours before the condemned man appeared. Some native-born Americans and several Irishmen struggled hard to pass through the gates and assist at the spectacle. Some succeeded, but the authorities, satisfied that they did not need such a gruesome lesson in morality as the repreryentatives of the alien races, ineis.t.ed on relegating all the English-speak- ing persons desirous of being eye-witnesses to the rear of the crowd. The convict walked on the scaffold in full view of the motley gathering (says the Atornin.- Leader"), the guestS all jabbering like magpies in tongues just as intelligible. The sheriff missed a great opportunity by not haranguing the multitude. But the executioner, who seemed proudly conscious of the role he was playing, two ministers, amd half a dozen newspaper reporters com- pleted the tremendous realism of the scene. B-adsius made no apeoech either. For one momeo.it he gazed at the sea. of blanched, upturned faces. Then he devoted his atten- tion to his prayers, while his arms and legs were being pinioned and the cap drawn over his eyes. When adl was over th-e company filed out of the prison ya.rd sufficiently overa-wed to be speechless.

DEATH OF MR. EDWIN JENKSI Mr. Edwin Jenks, of 28, Park-place, Cardiff, a well-known and highly-respected citizen, died at his residence in his eighty-third THE LATE MB. EDWIN JENKS. I yefn- last night. The deceased gentleman, who had always led an active life and had only been confined to hda bed for ten days, leaves two daughters and one eon (Mr. W. E.

For about 50 years Mr. Jenks was one of the leading house decorators in Cardiff and district, and was largely appealed to as am expert in that direction until-eight years ago, when he relinquished the business he had carried on for half a century in Queen- street (formerly kmywn as Orockherbtcvwn) amd retired into private life, after disposing of the business to his nephew. Mr. S. J. Jenks, at Ghairles^treet. For over 50 years Mr. Jenks acted as eddes- mara of St. John's Ghunoh, and was a. promi- nent Conservative worker. will -takeplace on Saturday a.t the family vault in the old cemetery, off Adam-street.

1, GUILDHALL COOKS I Prapanatioaas for to-day's civio luncheon at the GhrildhaJJ, London, in honour of the French President, were proceeded with yester- d3,y in the immense kitchen of the Guildhall crypt. In the banqueting hall tables were laid for 530 guests, amd the decorative scheme was carried out with a. profusion of roses and orchids twined with ribbons of red. white. and blue. La France roses were used-upwards of 2,500 magnificent blooms. Meesm Ring. and Brymer, the caterers, sup- plied the following: —300 quarts dear turtle soup, 2401b. of salmon (for mayonnaise), IS10 soles (filleted), 100 casseroles of quails, 800 mutton cutlets, 50 azpics of prawns, 1601b. of beef, 120 boiled chiickeaia, stuffed with hitm and mushrooms, 30 French pies, 60 tongues, 70 jellies (orange and noyeau), 50 creams, 120 dishes of pastry, 250 quarts of ices, and over 40doz. of champagne and other wines.

DRUGGED BY "GINGER ALE" I Mr. John J. Heslip, who left his home in Newry a few days ago for South Africa, has just returned, after a distressing adventure. He replied to an advertisement for an assistant in some South African stores, and was 'ngu.gted.. at a large salary by a man he met in Dublin. The two left for London, and stayed at the same hotel. "She man "00 had engaged Heslip produced two bottles of ginger ale. Heslip drank one, ,and fell immediately into a deep sleep. When he awoke he found he had been robbed of zm, his savings for three years, and h4s luggage had been taken from Euston, where he had left it. His companion had disappeared.

POISONING MYSTERY, I The body of a man, believed to be either a German or an Englishman, has been found under a tree in the Forest of St. Germain, Paris. Near the body was an empty bottle which had contained poison. The dead man bad a photograph in his pocket on which was the name O. Werner." He was dressed in English clothes, and wore a hat with the address of a London hatter in it. In his pockets were several picture postcards addressed to people in Munich, with a few words in German on each of them.

SOCCER IN CARDIFF. I Prospects of a First-class Club The idea. of founding an Association club in Cardiff has been occupying consider- aible attention for some time past now. Some of the oldest Soccer enthusiasts, in- eluding Mr. Jack Sandiford, got the move- ment fairly forward last summer, and had the Cardiff Corporation (says "South Walian" in the "Sportsman") offered any- thing like reasonaible conditions for a lease of the Sloper-road ground there is but little doubt that the coming season would have seen us engaged iTi Southern League foot- ball. The Cardiff City Council, however, put forth all sorts of absurd restrictions as being neceeoary to include in the lease, and the promoters of the proposed new club let the matter drop in disgust. During the last few days, however, the matter has come up again, apparently in two quarters, and only recently I was shown over an ideal ground, on which it is said a lease might be secured. From what I am told there is plenty of money behind the idea, and certainly there is a large.amount of enthusiasm existing. What is required, I fancy, is, first of all, a little encouragement from the authorities of the Southern League, and, secondly, the appointment of an enthusiastic local secre- tary in Cardiff, who would get the right •people together and perhaps induce one of the big wigs of the Southern League to come down to the meeting and try and create a go-ahead policy in connection with the matter. The Northern Union people did this when Ebbw Vale and Merthyr first thought of joining. and the success their movement has undou, btedly met with should encourage a similar effort by the Southern League people.

Beautiful Young Girl -0 FOUND MURDERED IN A FOREST During eighteen months past Turin has been horrified by a series of atrocious mur- ders of lonely women, both old and young, someitimea at their dwellings and at other times in suburban roads. In every case the assassin eluded capture, and the police have been hopeless baffled. Now a seventh victim has been added to the list in the person of a bea-utiful young girl of fourteen, named Carolina Piovano, whose body has been discovered in a wood at San Vito, in the neighbourhood of the Piedmontese capital. The hapless child was attacked while returning homeward by familiar forest paths from an afternoon pilg-rimage to the Sanc- tuary of the Madonna. Her dainty head veil and Prayer-book were picked up near her body. A maid living at a villa hard by states that she encountered a beardless, middle- aged man in a state of extreme nervous excitement, who was hastening away from the spot. He told her a girl's body was lying there. This man, who is presumed to be the assassin, was also passed by severa-I other wayfarers while he was descending the hillsride in the direction of the city. No arrest has been made.

Henry White (26), engineer, of Mayfleld-road, Dal- Biton, was charged with burglary, and with a(ttem,p,ting to murder Mr. Sherman by beat- ing him about the head with a, jemmy; and alao with unlawfully wounding Mrs. Sher- mam and Frederick Wingate, a coaehmaai. Mtre. Sherman described the struggle be- tween her husba-nd and the accused on the Stairs, which, she said, continued all the way downe.tairs, along1 the hall, and into the garden, the prisoner ultimately throw- ing Mr. Sherman off and jamping over thd garden gate. She identified as her husband's property a number of small articles of jewellery said to have been found on the prisoner. Counsel had previously referred to a woman, representing herself to be the pri- soner's wife, calling on Mrs. Sherman. The woman, said Mrs. Sherman, was not offen- sive in any way. She (the witness) asked her into the house, as the seemed to dia- tressed. The woman wanted her to read a letter she had received from the prisoner, and insisted upon reading one passage.

WOMANMISER'S HALF-CROWNS I On search being made at the houee of a woman named Lock wood, of Barrow-on- Soar, Leicestershire, after she had been buried by the parish, £104 was discovered in trunks and boxes. The money was mainly in hadf-orowmis. There was also a quantity of new clothing. The womaTi had received parish relief, and had lived under very wretched conditions, refusing to have a fire even in the severest weather. She never used lights, and the neighbours often took food into her, under the impression thaA she was absolutely destitute.

WELSH BOWLING. All-Comers' ChampionshIp Officially Approved. A meeting of the managemen-t committee of the Welsh Bowling Association was held at the Park Hotel, Cardiff, on Tuesday for the purpose, among other matters, of receiv- ing a deputation from the Dinas Powis Club with reference to the challenge cup to be played for on their green in Whit-week. Mr. Tovey (chairman of the association) pre- sided. The deputation consisted of Mr. T. P. Thomas, Mr. Joe. Davies, and Mr. Cox. Mr. Davies explained that the offer of the challenge cup was not made until April 27, and there was no time to make a formal application to the Welsh Bowling Association to take it up if the tournament was to be held in Whit-week, but he had spoken to the hon. secretary (Mr. Lloyd) and other mem- bers of the association on the subject, and had offered them the cup. He could under- stand that the association could not, under their present rules, organise an all-comere championship, and, therefore, in the inteirests of Welsh bowling. the Dinas Powis Club undertook to initiate a. Welsh championship at considerable nna?cial risk. What they a?ked now was that the championship should be played under the. a,uspic? of the Welsh Bowling Association, and that the associa- tion should appoint referees. After considerable ctlscussion of a friendly character, in which the sportsmanship of the Dinas Powis Club waa extolled, a resolution was unanimously passed, on the motion of Mr. G. L. Scott (Newport), seconded by Mr. W. A. Morgan (Cardiff), to the effect that the championship (confined to amateurs) should be played under the auspices of the Weleh. Bowling Association, and that for this year it should be controlled by the Dinas Powis Club. Mr. Davies stated during the discussion that next year Dinas Powis Would provide a cham- pionship cup, which should be played for on any green the association approved. The following referees were appointed by the committee:—Messrs. J. Latchford, J. Thomas, and E. Hunt (Macks), J. Pollock (Cardiff), G. L. Scott (Newport), and E. Lloyd (Cardiff). Roath Club Green The hon. secretary (Mr. Evan Lloyd) reported that the ground committee had inspected the green in Roath Piark upon which the Boath Club played, with the view of that club joining, the association. They found that the green had been laid perfectly even and true, but that the turf was unfit to play first-class matches upon. The com- mittee, therefore, were reluctantly compelled to refuse the application of the Roath Club for admission to the association. Association Tournaments The committee then proceeded to make arrangements for the association tourna- ments for this season. The hon. sec.retary stated that the entries were more numerous than they had ever been before. Twenty- five rinks, 44 pairs, and 52 singles had entered, a fact, the committee agreed, show- ing the steady increase of interest in the game of bowls in South Wales.

YOUNG BRIDE'S GRIEVANCE Married only five weeks ago, William Mott, Battersea, had to answer, at the South- western Foflice-oomrrt yesterday, a summons by his wife, who complained that he had failed to support her. After the wedding the couple went to the BbaJkspeare Theatre, and then had tea at the husband's mother's,, and tlren they parted. Solicitor for the defence: The defendant has offered his wife a. home, but she refused to bake admofcage of it. Comjplainiant: But is it a proper thing to expect a young bride to sleep with her mother-in-law P Mr. De Grey: Has he offered you the home? -Yes, but am I bound to sleep with the mother P Mr. De Grey: Go and do it. The Complainant: WOIII The summons was dismissed. and the young woman left the court dismayed.

BAKERY ON A FLAGSHIP I The official trials have just been success- fully concluded of a bakery of the latest design which has been installed on boa.rd his Majesty's ship Leviathan, flagship of the Devon/port Division of the Home Fleet. In the trials it was shown that the ovens are in a condition to begin baking about an honr after the fires are lighted, and that a batch of two hundred loaves is ready for drawing in about an hour and a quarter. This is ample to enable a ship's company to be supplied with fresh bread daily. The bakery has been constructed on the main deck. The kneader is of the electric motor-driven type.

TURKS AND ENGLISH TRUTH I The faith that both the Macedoniens and the Turks have in English truth and English promises is remarkable,' said Mrs. King Lewis at yesterday's meeting of the Bible Missions Aid Society.

Her Lover's Fraud I LADY LOSES HER PROPERTY A remarkable case in which a lady was druped and defrauded of valuable property by her lover was decided by Mr. Justice Eve yesterday-against the lady. The fiction was raised by the AUiiianoe Credit Bank of London (Limited), against Thomas Owen and Misa Julia Churchouse, of Bournemouth, for payment of principal and .interest on certain mortgages. At the Rants A-mizes in November Owen was convicted of stealing from Miss ¡ Churchouse the title deeds rel a/ting to property in H.ampshire and a.t Meare, in Somerset. Miss Churohouse's story, which was not disputed, was that from February to July, 1907, she was engaged to Owen, who used his great influence over her to iniduce her to execute two conveyances of her property to him, assuring her that they were marriage settlements. Upon these and the title deeds he stoLe he obtained advances of several hundred pounds from the bank. The Judge, in giving decision in favour of the bank, saiid the case was one of those whioh, alas, the courts had too often, to decide—namely, whioh of two perfectly inno- cent parties bad to puffer for the fraudulent ill-dodnig of a third party. Though Miss Churchouee had been the victim of the fraudulent devices of a ra.sc<al of whose conduct it was difficult to speak in measured terms, it would (said his lordship) be stretching the law to a dainigerous limit if he was to upoholda person of mature years, who, bavins before her deeds to execute, exe- cuted them without ascertaining their con- tents, and came into court and declared, The deed is not mine. He, therefore, gave judgmient foT the bank, and dismissed Miss Chuxchouse's couaitar- cLaim to have the mortgages and the etolem deeds cancelled, remarking that if the bank pressed for costs be must order her to pay the costs. Mr. P. O. Lawrence, K.O., for the bank, said that he had no authority to be generous. His Lordship: Very well, I must make the order.

I SOLICITOR SENTENCED I Sentence of twelve months' hard labour -stos passed at tihe Contnal Criminal Oourt yester- day on George John Cudden, an aged solicitor, and one of fifteen months on Frank D-ellana, for forging an endorsement on a cheque for X,1,60 dnavm by the Rev. J. C. Grey. The offence was committed in con. nection with certain mining concessions, and sentence was postponed for the purpose of giving the prisoners an opportunity of assigning to the reverend gentleman some FrenoTT concessions in restitution. This they had done.

HONEST EX-PRISONER'S STCRY I A man who said he was an ex-prisoner told Mr. Hutton at Greenwich Police-court yesterda.y that some time ago he found a wallet containing notes to the value of £40 and other valuables. This he returned, and all he bad received was a curt letter of acknowledgment. Mr. Hutton said he was unable to help the applicant, but 99 persons of 100 would have rewarded him.

THE LADY'S POCKET I For many years the lady's pocket has been impossible to find in a hurry. An aged per- son required the help of her daughter to reach it; but this became unendurable—the worm turned at last, and the hand-bag was invented. It is decidedly an improvement as to oooivenienc€>—the thief also is of the same opinion.—Lady Guendolen Ramsden, in the "Young Woman.

I OAlDWELLOONDITION. The hearting of the OaldweU extradition oase at New York has been adjourned until. July 28, as the result of a statement by the superintendent of the Ma»boa State Asylum that OaJdwell seems to be failing mentally and physically, and that he is umable to le-ave his bed.

SPARING THE ROD It remains the fact that hardship and dis- cipline, a liberal application of the rod, and good wholesome snubbing turned out men who were truly men; whereas the modern boy seems likely to grow up a flabby nin- compoop—"Schoolmaster." I
