THREE HOSPITALS FAIL. CUBED BY DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mrs. Watts. of Sheep-street-lane, Etching- ham, Sussex, writesEighteen months ago my little boy developed Infantile Paralysis. lie was so bad that he could not stand, so I took him to a hospital, where he was put in a plaster of Paris jacket, hut he was too weak to wear it, so the doctor took it off. Then I got him into another hospital, where he remained a long time, and yet another, but 'ao-ieit'-T, so I took him home. He wad J practically helpless when I began Dr. Cftssell's Tablets, but in three months he could run abcut, and is now quite well. All consider hid cure a miracle."

I GUARD'S GALLANT CONDUCT. I An interesting presentation for bravery was I made on Thursday by the Mayor of Swansea on behalf of the British Electrical Federation to a guard on the Swansea and Mumble- Railway. named J. Webborn. Mr. C. G. Teget- meier, chairman of the British Electric Trao- tion Company, presided, and was supported by Mr. Pavid James, the local manager, and a number of officials and employes. Mr. Tegetmeier explained that the silver medal had been instituted as a reward for excep- tionally meritorious acts by the company's employes. The Mayor, in making the presentation, said that on June 23 last Webborn was in charge of a coal train proceeding from Blackpill to Swansea, and when nearing Paxton-street he observed an aged corporation employe, named Ridd, going on the line, oblivions of the warning bell. Instantly he jumped off the engine, ran on to the line, and took the old man off into the roadway, when the engine was close upon him and at the risk of his own life. But for his act Mr. Ridd must have met with a terrible death. Guard Webbom had the medal pinned on his breast by his worship, and briefly returned thanks. Afterwards the Mayor took occasion to remark on the amicable relations which existed between the company and the cor- poration. The matters which had awaited settlement between the council and the com- pany had been adjusted, he believed, to the complete satisfaction of both parties, and without the slightest difficulty or friction.

I BUTCHER IN LOVE The story of a, butcher's infatuation was old on Thursday in the Oroydon-court. Harrison William Webb, 36, of Thornton- heath, the hero of the romance, was charged prosaically with Breaking into a flat at Eocleebonrne-road, Thornton-heath, on Bank Holiday; Stealing a photograph; and Damaging clothing and bedding belonging to Thoma-s Davis. Mrs. Boreas Davis, wife of the prosecutor, had told the bench that she knew Webb, and met him on the day named at Thonaton- heath. He struck at her, however, and she ran off. When she returned home in the evening she found her plaoe in disorder. Webb was found in the New-cut, acting as assistant to a butc,her there..On the road to Croydon he said he had got in by the window and left by the front door, but he only took the photograph. He also said:— She cost me quids, and I am infatuated with that woman. I know she is married, but I cannot help it. He left behind on the kitchen table his own photograph showing him outside his employer's shop. Webb was now ordered to pay £ 2 damage and costs, and was also bound over to keep the peace for six months. I

IMPRISONED IN HORSE BOX Two youths—Jack Kitchen, of Harrogate, and Arthur Wheelhouse, of igheffteld-entered a horse-box on the railway at Doncaeter to sleep, but were unable to get out when they awoke. On Sunday afternoon the horse-box was taken to Essendine, being moved again on Monday morning to Thurlby, the youths being still imprisoned. A stiationmaster heard their cries, and released them, to be handed over to the police. Yesterday they were charged at Bourne with travelling without tickets, but were discharged.

The Han in the Street ■' w It would appear that the motor- bicyole has been condemned too hastily by those people who have unreasona-bly oomiplained because this machine has been employed to rush and bump about the country distributing the blessings of Parma violet and other pleasing scents. A correspondent to a German newspaper writes tlhat every caterpillar and slug has disappeared from his garden since he allowed his boy to ride a motor-bicycle round the garden. From observations made on the spot, he is convinced fllat the exhaust fumes from the engine acted as a caterpillar destroyer, and he now rejoices in a garden which has never before made such a luxuriant show of fruit and flowers. In the first place, it must be observed tha.t to allow for the adequate exercise of a motor-bicycle a garden must be somewhat larger, than the usual square yard or two allowed by the discriminating house-providers of the present economical age. Secondly, the rider of the machine, boy though he was, must have possessed ability beyond the average to successfully avoid frequent collision with rose and pear trees, to say nothing of the gooseberry bushes that might have proved fatal to tyres. Finally, there is no doubt what- ever that the fumes of a motor-bicycle are more destructive than the older mettlhods of putting salt on the slugs' tails, or nipping them in halves with a useful pair of scissors. Decidedly, the motor-bicycle must take premier position as a slug-slayer. There can be no doubt of the pressing need existing in Cardiff for a large hall on the lines I have already advocated. Apart from the convenience of being able to house 10,000 people or more on special occasions, it must not be forgotten that there is nearly always a certain amount of danger in and about a temporary hall, which can never be expected to be put together as firmly and as safely as is possible with a permanent structure. At an eisteddfod held at Swansea a.bout twenty years ago the build- ing (or part of it) was blown down, the roof fell in., and a woman was killed. At the Swansea, temporary building last year there was another serious accident. Some of the seats broke down under the extraordinary press of large numbers of people, and the surplus was eaten up by the claims of the injured persons. Even at Liverpool a temporary hall had to be put up, and it was a wonder there were not many accidents there. The risks that are inevitable in buildings put up temporarily ought never to be run in a big centre like Cardiff. And, as I [have already polluted out, £2,000 spent for a hall of this kind several times over would soon pay for a large building which would be always at hand for the r use of the people. Who will take the matter up and see that by the time the National Eisteddfod comfes again to Cardiff there will be a suitable home for it? r As I have also previously pointed out, it is highly desirable that the metropolis of Wales should have its own annual eisteddfod, which could give way in the year that the city is visited by the national function. Cathays Park is not yet filled with buildings, and by the grace of the City Council this would be an ideal site. Failing that, it would be a good thing for the city if a slum district could be cleared to put up the structure. Such a site could be found convenient to the railways and as central as could be desired. The large hall would obviously be too big for ordinary occasions, but it could be partitioned off, and in time it could be made the centre of city tsocial life. A large swimming bath could be laid down, and one of the pressing wants of the city supplied. In smaller places than Cardiff there are I big bathing houses where the bath is covered when the hall is wanted for a. special occasion. It would be easy to fill a column describing the uses to which such a building could be put. What is the Cymmrodorion prepared to do? or who will take the first step in the matter? The Carmarthenshire Education Com- mirttee are setting an example which it is hoped that other local authorities throughout the country will copy. It has been for a long time a common com- plaint, only too well founded on fact, that not only is the average boy incom- petent to take any intelligent post after leaving school, but that he is totally lacking in elementary good manners. The Carmarthenshire Council have recog- nised this evil of the times sufficiently to decide to send out a circular to 'every head teacher in their area, emphasising the importance of instruction in hygiene juTTHwg tihe elder cMklren, with copies of the ooufse suggested by the Board of Education. The head of each school is to be urged to use his (or her) utmost endeavours to improve the manners and general deportment of the children. So far, so good. However, the worst feature about the whole matter of edu- cation in the elementary schools is that the syllabus is already overcrowded. That too much is attempted is mainly respon- sible for the turning out of boys and girls who are supposed to have acquired a useful, instead of the merest superficial, knowledge of the multitude of subjects that it is sought to cram into their over- taxed heads. Recognising the futility, founded on the experience of some years, of accomplishing the impossible, teachers would be justified in the eyes of most parents if in future they centred their attention upon the essentials of educa- tion for the boy and girl who are to look to themselves for their liveliIhood in the I future. It is of prime importance that I every child should acquire a real and useful knowledge of writing, reading, and arithmetic—and of good manners and sanitary science. Until the Board of Edu- cation itself wakes up to this fact every- thing must depend upon the teachers, whose possession of common sense and practical intelligence as a class is undis- puted.

A SINNER'S BENEVOLENCE Joseph. Parenfci, a cattle breeder, of Graz- zanise, near Naples, while watching his cows drink at the River Volturno, gaw a black bottle, which was carefully sealed, floating on the waters. He succeeded in fishing it out, opened it, and found that it contained the following note: — Volturno, 17 Aug., 1908.-A gentleman, repenting of numerous sins, and wishing to help with his rich fortune people in need, adopts this system. Whosoever finds this bottle should in- eent a notice in the paper Tribuma" (Rome) giving his name and address, and he will receive immediately a sum suffi- cient to keep him for life comfortably. Pray for the sinner. It is reported that Paremti complied with the instructions of the writer (says the "Morning Leader") and is now mak- ing his pia-ne for the future. He expects soon to be a wealthy man. It is generally believed that he is the victim of a joke or a Bote written by a madman.

GOLD IN BARMAID'S BOX I Alice Lloyd, barmaid at the Grotto publio- house, High Holborn, was charged at Bow- street yesterday with stealing marked money belonging to her employer. In consequence of a serious fadling-off in the takings, a detective passed a. marked sixpence over the. bar to the prisoner, and shortly afterwards he saw her put something down her neck. When spoken to she produced the marked coin from beneath her drees, remarking, "I am very sorry; I have only done it this week." In her box was found £ 14 10s. in gold. Detective-sergeant Davis said it was evident from correspondence found in the prisoner's possession that she was anxious to go on the ata-ge, and had paid an agent LZ 15e. 6d. for parts to practice. The accused was remanded.

200 CONVICTIONS I Said to be a notorious thief, Kichard I Kay lor, of Manchester, waa charged at Orewe yesterday with etealing two glasses from the Royal Hotel. When stopped by a constable he remark. I Oh, I was on my way to the polioe-station to give myself up." An inspector said Naylor admitted having 200 convictions against him, and the accused rejoined, And. I was more happy in gaol than out." Asked if he wished to go before a jury, he replied. "I know what the jury are, and will go before them.

MARRIED MAN & URESSMAKER I At Mortlake Pollce-oourt yesrterday William I Vales, of Mortliake, was summoned by Misa Lilian Russell, a dressmaker, in respect of the maintenance of her child, born in Decem- ber, 19C6. Defendant eaid he was a married man, and he hoped the justices would therefore deal leniently with him, as coanplaanant knew all ,the time that he had a wife. Complainant said she had found the child, an encumbrance in her business. The Benoh made an order of 5s. 6d. a week until the child (a girl) was sixteen years of age.

"HULLO, BOB!" I A humorous defence was put up at Hengoed to-day by Robert Williams (25), a labourer, who with Edward Gibbs (30), and William Trollop (27), were charged with an affray at Ystradmynach. Williams Police-oonstable "Price came up to me and said, "Hullo, Bob, you are start- ing your old tricks again." (Laughter.) I don't know why he should ask me that. I have not been in gaol, and only had two summonses in my life. (Laughter.) The trio were bound over.

"Can't You Find One H" .0 THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW William Preston, of Walworth, was own- fmoned at Lambeth, yesterday for assaulting Chanlee Applexord. The complainant stated that on the night of Bank Holiday he was in Heyga.te-etreet with a young lady. He saw the defendant and some of the defendant's friends on the opposite side of the road, and to avoid them he walked away and entered the private bar of a beerhouse. The defendant and. his friends followed them amd entered another bar. He (complainant) and his young lacfy left the beerhouse, when he was suddenly seized from behind and etruck by the defen- dant from the front, besides having blows rained on him from behind, by whom he could not say. A friend of his who hap- pened to be passing came to his assistance. Mir. Cecil Cha.pma.n: What was the cause of the quarrel? The Complainant: Tihe original cause of the quarrel was that gome tweLve months ago Preaton was enga/ged to the girl I am keeping company with now. Mr. Sydney: That's quite right. He was engaged to the girl for some time? The Coanpa-inanrt.: Yes, sir. Mr. Sydney (who defended): I suppose, if I ma-y use the term, you cut him out. Have you been in the habit of saying to him every time you have seen him. Ga,n't you fin-d another one?" The Coanplai-iant: I don't think I have spoken to the man for five or six months. In further cross-examination, the oom- plainant denie4 that when he left the beer- hotiBo with Miss Savage (the younig lady re- ferred to) he said to the defendant, Can't you find another?" of something of that sort. The defendant did not answer, "Mind your own business." He did not then spit in the defendant's face, and it was not true that it was then that the defendant struck out at him in self-defence. Mise Caroline Savage ga-ve evidence for the complainant, and said she did not hear him say one word to the defendamt. Mir. Sydoey: I suppose your old affection for the dofendant has died, out? The Witness: That's it. (Laughter.) Preston, the d-efendant, said he formerly courted Miss Savage. Sinoe his engagement with the lady had terminated he had been frequently insulted by the complaanant, who usually called out, Can't you find one?'" The complainant spat in his faoe, and he then struck at the comipQajmajit. Afterwaavla they fought together. Mr. Oecil Chapman bound the defentdtant over in his own recognisances in L5 to be of good behaviour for twelve months, and ordered him to pay 10B. coats.

I, BLOUSE-MAKING WAGES I At Whitechapel yesterday Judge Bacon re- ferred to the case of the woman reported some days ago, who stated that she received only 10d. a dozen for maohindng cotton and silk blouses. His Honour said that the notice of the cir. I cumstances of the case had caused several letters to be addressed to him cortaining gifts of money and inquiries as to the woman's condition. All had been answered, and where money had been sent it had been forwarded to the woman. When the case was before the court the woman stated tha.t her husband wag out of employment. To keep the home together she machined blouses for 10d. per dozen. Many of these articles were sold for 38. Ud. I and 4s. lid. each.

A Face at the Window CURIOUS BARGOED ASSAULT A remarkable charge of assault was heard at Hengoed to-day The defendant was David John Probert, 38, an engineer, of Bargoed, and the complainants were Miss Floreuoe Maddox, now of Fel-ndale, and Miss Rachel Jones. Mr. George F. Willett (Cardiff) prosecuted, and Mr. W. Ebsworth defended. Mr. Wiljett described the assault as a most peculiar one. Miss Maddox was stewardess of a Socialist club, of which defendant was the landlord and Miss Jones was the servant. On July 2 defendant smashed a pa.ne of glass wlhile the girls were in bed at night, and, pushing aside the bftnd, demanded the keys of the premises. Miss Maddox refused, and the next morning he again peeped in, and then buret a door open, hringing with him a, large black dog, which he tied to the table. There was a struggle for the keys, and Miss Maddox handed them behind her back to Miss Jones. This was the case in brief for the com- plainant, and the defendant then sa.id that he used no violence, but under an agreement sougbit possession. He denied that. he had his head inside the glass. Mr. Wiliett: Was your head too big or the window too mnali? (Laughter.) Mr. Wiliett: Did you have the dog muzzled? -No. It was a joke on your part to peep at two girls in bed? The Chairman: Is the club locked during the day?-No. Mr. Willett: Why didn't you go there in the day?—I went there to turn out the gas, and the men turned me out. Mr. Wiliett: I should thin.k so. I wonder you were not killed! Tkaughter.) Defendant: I beg your pardon. I was responsible for the payment of the gas. Did you catch Miss Maddox by the wrist?— No; she must have put her hand in mine. (Laughter.) Ex-alderman E. Edwa-rds (chairman) con- sidered it a most unprovoked assault. Defen- dant would be fined £2, with 58. to each of the women, and the solicitor's costs.

His Worship, having examined some docu- ments concerning the antecedents of the prisoner, said, "I see that twelve years ago you were a spiritualist lecturer in London, and did pretty well, but since then you have been in trouble for drunkenness and obtain- ing food by false pretences."

LONDON'S DOSES OF GAS Arc Londoners being poisoned by coal-gas? This question is raised by the Lancet," which draws attention to a statement recently made at the meeting of a Metro- politan gas^oompany to the effect that 110-000,000 cubic feet of ga-s had not been accounted for during a period of six months. One of the reasons advanced by the medical journal for this leakage is the vibration caused by motor-omnibuses, which, it says, is not calculated to increase the efficiency of Pervi,ft pipes as carriers. Even though we do not hear of serious accidents," the paper concludes, the fact remains that millions of cnbio feet of poisonous gas are annually being distributed in the a4r of London. Lon'don?re are found to complain of ^headache, dizziness, and oppression, all three of which symptoms are readily invoked by chronic doses of carbon monoxide.

GIRL OF TEN IN DOCK A neatly-dressed girl of ten years, named Bertha G-apper, was charged yesterday at North London with stealing from a shop in Holioway a purse containing L5, the pro- perty of Helein M'Donald, and was remanded.

It was stated that the parcel contained six egg-cups, two dolls, a metal watch, a tumbler, basket and ball, beads, a miniature feeding-bottle, scales, a box of tin toys, and a package of sugar. The girl's mother said that the child had got into the ha.bit of tolling falsehoods. She had a good home, and had done nothing like it before.

"SAFETY" MILK FOR CHILDREN I Scientific investigations have proved that milk in a. raw state should never be gi vep. to children. Those who cannot buy properly treated milk should treat it at home. This can be done by observing these simple directions:— 1. Bring the milk slowly to a boil, and when it reaches the boiling point bottle it instantly, cork tightly, and cool it. 2. Never give milk that is more tb-g- 24 hours old to an infant. 3. Keep the milk near ice, and never leave iv a milk bottle uncorked. 4. Cleanse and scald all bottles before re-filling. Careful observance of these directions will insure against babies contracting summer diseases from impure milk.

MR. THAW'S RUSE Mr. Harry Tha,w, the millionaire murderer, now an insane prisoner in Poughkeepsie Asylum, New York State, has been declared a bankrupt on the petition of his lawyers at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, yesterday. It now appears that the objeot of the pro- ceedings which ha-ve been taken in the Federal Courts is to get Mr. Thaw to Penn- sylvania to testify in the bankruptcy matter, then to appoint a commission to declare him sane, and release him. In such an event it may be impossible to recommit him (says the "Daily Mail"), unless he is foolish enough to re-enter the jurisdic- tion of New York State.

Together with Edward James Russell Wilkinson was charged with stealing a night shirt, a muffler, and a bicycle lamp, the ownership of which is unknown, and also seven ladies' under- skirts, worth L2 2s. 3d., from the Park Hotel stock rooms. By himself, he was charged with stealing ladies' clothing, worth 14, from the Swiss- ball, Queennstreet; stockings and other samples, worth L5, belonging to another firm from the same place, and underclothing, worth 30s., from the Dumfries Hotel. Witn WaJter Usher (23) he was charged with steal- ing waistcoats and football knickers, worth 15e., from the Dumfries Hotel. Five of the thefts were alleged to have occurred in July and August, and one in May. Mr. Sydney f Jenkins appealed for Usher. The first charge to be taken was that of theft from the Park Hotel stock rooms. Wil- liam Underwood, a. bottle washer, said on Sunday, August 2, he saw Russell comin,g from the tock rooms while Wilkinson was standing a few yards away with a parcel under bis arm. Both of them went into Paradise-place, and witness went back to the hotel and told what he had seen. Detective Pugsley said that Russell came to the police-station voluntarily. In the cells Wilkinson made a statement that Russell took the parcel, that they sold two skirts, and threw the rest into the canal. When he read the charge to them, Russell eui(L "Quite right, sir"; and Wilkinsoti, "Yes, sir." In court Russell said, "It was me that had the parcel from the Park Hotel," and Wilkin- The charge was next taken in which Wil- kinson alone is alleg.e,d to have taken 30s. worth of underclothing from the Dumfries Hotel. Some of this (produced in court) was identified as the property of a. Leicester firm, and Jacob Ritteniberg said the prisoner met him in the street. He was carrying some underolothing, w'hldh he said belonged to his father, and offered to Bell it. Witness gave him 3s. for it. Detective Pugsley sariod that when prisoner was arrested he was wearing the lady's com- ¡ binations (produced)? When he was charged 1 he eaid, "I had them, sir." In court he said, "I had them, and Russell was with me." Prisoner was commlitted for trial at the quarter siessions on this Change also. Walter Usher having been brought into court, he and Wilkinson were charged with s tcaiing other property from the Dumfries Hotel. Detective Pugsrley said that when Wilkinson was charg-ed with this offence he replied in the course of his statement, I took a.n electric battery from the Royal Hotel about a month ago, and Walter Usher bought it for 9d. He knew it was stolen. Last week I had six vests from the Dumfries Hotel, and Walter Usher bought them. There were two football knacks, and he bcugiht them as well." Later witness met Usher, who told him Wil- kinson had made a statement, and asked if he had bought anything from him. Usher replied, "I have got four vests and three knickers, and he took witness to his house and gave them to him.- Usher sadd he asked Wilkinson, "Are they (the property) all right?" and he replied, ,Yes, straightaway." He then gave 4s. for them. When he was arrested Usher saM. "I understood they were given to him as tveUe'rs' samvlœ to get rid cf at w.ha.t prioe they oould get for them." Replying to the stipendiary, Detective Pugsley said that to his knowledge Wilkin- son had done no work for months, and he had frequently seen him in Usher s fried fieh shop in Bridge-street. Both prisoners were committed for trial at the quarter sessions. Mr. Sydney Jenkins asked for bail for Usher, but it was refused. The remaining three charges were not investigated. I

MUST GO TO THE DOGS." I A man applied to Mr. Plowden yesterday for assistance to obtain the return of some dogs he had "sold on a deposit" to another man. Mr. Plowden: Do you wanrt the belance of the money?—Yes, sir. Mr. Plowden: You must go to the oounty- eDurt.-Y.e,s, sir, but he is going to India to- day with the dogs. Mr. Plowden: Well, if the doss won't come to you, you must go to the dogs. (Loud laughter.)

Several stalls at Cloethorpes—including a pierrots' stand—were washed bodily out to sea, and visitors joined with natives in desperate efforts to save the rest from de- struction. Bathing tents and stalls on the Mable- thorpe sands were washed away, and the receding tide left a line of bottles of sweets and mineral wa,tera, toys, and large lumps of the sweetmeat known as "Cleethorpes rock" along the beach At Scarborough a tea and coffee van was knocked over, scattering broken crockery all arourd. Whole stacks of ohairs were carried away.

SUFFRAGETTES MOBBED I Four women suffragettes were mobbed by an angry crowd yesterday on Blackpool sands. Many thousands of people crowded round their wagonette, and interrupted their speeches.

I THE FASCINATION OF GOLF When all is said and done, there still re- mains the incontrovertible fact—a fact which no other game oan boast of—that even the veriest foozler at the game gets a huge amount of pleasure from it.

He was coverel with ordinary lard, a.-nd at 1.20 this morning he took the water, cheered by the small party assembled. The plucky swimmer struck out strongly for the French coast. The London tug Gnat was with the swimmer, and Pilot M'.Keen piloted the swim from a lugger. As ou previous swims, Dr. Wiauchope Watson was in charge of the feeding arrange- ments. Attempt Abandoned I I The weather at the start was fine, but there was a long roll. The sea, with the wind blowing 25 miles an hour, gradually came up rough, and after three and a half hours' swimming Burgess decided to make the attempt into a practice swim. He stopped in the water for six hours and five minutes, making about eight miles on ] his-proposed course. Burgess considered that a. good swim in the- darkness, and the rough weather would be a valuable experience. With favourable weather Burgess starts I the Channel swim to-morrow.
