CARDIFF LABOUR EXCHANGE One of our representatives directed the attention of the Lord Mayor of Cardiff on Tuesday evening to a statement made in Parliament on the previous day by Mr. Tennant, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Hoard of Trade, that a labour exchange would he established at Cardiff if the Labour Exchange Bill passed through Par- liament. The Lord Mayor said he was very pleas-ed to find that a hint he had given on the sub- ject to the Hon. Ivor Guest, M.P., in the lobby of the House of Commons last week had been acted upon. Having heard that it was proposed by the Government to estab blish labour exchanges in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, he (the Lord Mayor) thought the capital of Waks should not be neg- lected, and suggested to :.1r. Gtwst that he might put a question to the President of the Board of Trade. This was done ou Monday— henoe the reply of Mr. Tennant. The Lord Mayor explained that under the Bill the Board of Trade would have power to authorise advances towards meeting the expenses of workpeople travelling to places where employment had been found for them through a labour exchange, and to estab- lish advisory committees for the purpose of assisting and advising the Beard of Trade in the management of the exchanges. A labour exchange was defined in the Act as a place used for the purpose of collecting and furnishing information, either by keep- ing registers or otherwise, respecting em- ployers who d5ired to engage workpeople and workpeople who sought engagements or employment. For financial purposes labour exchanges have been classified as follows: — (3.; For towns of over ICO,000 inhabitants; (b) for towns of from 50,000 to 100 000 inhabi- tants; (C) for towns and urban districts of from 25,00,0 to 50.0CO inhabitants; (d) docks and casual. labour centres (waiting-rooms). It is not proposed to bring the whole system into being during the present financial year. The method which it is proposed to adopt as a rule is to hire exist- ing premises. The expenditure falls into two divisions, viz., annual expenditure for alterations, fittings, &c., and, secondly, annual expenditure for rents and taxes, boating, lighting, and maintenance. The total amount for each of these categories is estimated to be approximately £ 100,000 and £ 60,000 respectively for the annual number of exchanges contemplated. The cost of purchasing sites and erecting buildings for Class (a) exchanges would, it is estimated, amount to iJ.l.w'v,liC0, this to be spent over a probable period of ten years. The initial expenditure on buildings would be £ 65,000 in the present financial year, £ 65,000 next year, L36,000 in 1911 and 1912, and rather under £ 20,000 in each of ttie following six or seven years. The annual expenditure on rental, upkeep, and main- tenance would rise from about i,10,000 in the present year to about £ 50,000 in 1910 and 1911. In 1912 the increase would amount to about £ 55,000, and would decline gradually to about £ 45,000 as the building of premises for exchanges was completed. It is also proposed to have a clearing- house, which will probably be situated in London. Each exchange will have a staff varying from the single clerk-caretaker of a simple waiting-room to a staff of about a dozen for a divisional exchange. The expenditure on salaries in the present financial year will be L15,000, and in the second year £ 65,000. Afked for his personal opinion of the Bill, the Lord Mayor said that from the ratepayers' point of view it would be a good thing for Cardiff, and would add to the statue of the city, but he was doubtful whether thedeeired or intended benefits would be brought about.

Mr. Suburb: My neighbour has a big dog that we're all afraid of. What do you advise? Lawyer: Get a bigger one. Six and eight- pence, please. Mrs. Mulvaney (the laundress): Indade, m'am, and it's miserable I am.

Hotel Clerk: I found the 'N,Lot To Be Used Except in Case of Fire notice those football fellows stole out of the corridor. Manager: Where? Hotel Clerk: They'd nailed it up over the coal shod. Have you got any buff trimming to go with this stuff?" asked a flashily dressed woman of an assistant in a large draper's the other day. I think so, miss," answered the polite young man, taking down. a piece and spread- ing it on the counter. "Buff! Do you call that buff?' exclaimed the woman. That's too dark for buff." But, miss, that is "It's too dark! I can see it is." Why, of course its dark, madam," per- sisted the man. It's blind man's buff-the I new shade, you see."

LATE SIR ARTHUR STEPNEY I At a meeting of the Llanelly Urban Dis- trict Council reference was made to the sudden death of Sir Arthur Stepney. The Chairman (Mr. E. T. Jones) said he was a great benefactor to the town library, and was its president for many years. By Sir Arthur's death the town of Llanelly, and the library in particular, were very much the losers. Mr. Wm. David said he had been asso- ciated with Sir Arthur in connection with the library since the first time he was elected president. Since he consented to act as president not for a single year had he forgotten to make a splendid contribu- tion of books to the library. It was unanimously decided to put on record Sir Arthur's invaluable service to the town of Llanelly.

MANLY AND HEROIC." I At the Port Talbot Grouped Schools Com- mittee on Tuesday evening it was reported that the education committee had deducted JE7 10s. from the salary of Elizabeth Jenkias, the cleaner of the Abergwynfi Schools, in consequence of alleged non-fulfilment of duty. Letters were read from Mrs. Jenkins and the headmaster stating that Redactions made by the committee already amounted to JE3 153., being 18s. 9d. for March, and the whole of the salary for April, E7 1Ss. M. Thus the committee had already deducied Li 5s. more than the claim Mr. W. Jenkins made a heated protect against the action of the committee, which he described sarcastically as "manly aJMi heroic." The explanation of Inspector Poweil wae accepted, and the matter dropped.

Lamb loses much of its nicety of flavour after it reaches four months old. It Qught, therefore, to be small and white in appear- ance. Pineapple lemonade is a delicious and I cooling beverage. The pineapple should be well ripened. Carefully remove the skin and eyes, and grate or cut 'in thin slices. Sprinkle half a pound of sugar over it. and squeeze over that the juice of four large lemons. Let it stand an hour. Mash through a fine sieve; add ice and water and some small pieces of pineapple.

MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE I The Prince of Wales presided on Tuesday at Marlborough House at the annual mooting: of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy of Music and of the Royal College i of Music. In proposing the adoption of the report, his Royal Highness said that the number of I those examined throughout the Empire was 31,574, against 28,193 last year.

An address of welcome from the Lord Mayor and corporation was read at Locdon-road Station. Hie Majesty briefly replied Rain was falling as the Royal carriage left the station, and, greatly to the disappointment of the thousands of sight- seers, the carriage was closed.

I When the King and Queen arrived at wa-r. rington they were accorded a most enthusias- tic welcome. Nearly three miles of the streets were lined with cheering spectators. At the Town-hall the mayor (Alderman Forsha,w> presented an address giving their Majesties a most cordial welcome. His Majesty, in reply, stated that in coming to review the Territorial Forces of the county he was reminded that Warrington and district had witnessed in times past many conflicts between hostile forces, but he was confident that the patriotic spirit of the people was as strong as ever, and that no effort would be wanting to prepare for any risk, however remote. He trusted that by God's blessing the warlike scenes of the past would not recur, and that they would be able to pursue without interruption the arts and pursuits of peace by which Warrington had become prosperous. The town might be assured he would always take the liveliest interest in its welfare. Princess Victoria was presented by the mayor with a diamond necklace in celebra, tion of her birthday.

AN INTERESTING SHIP AT BARRY Peculiar interest attaches to the arrival at Barry on Tuesday of the steamer Trans- porter. She was built at Barrow-iu- Furness last year for Meesrs. Vickers, Maxim, and Co., and was first used to carry a couple of submarines to Japan. In order to take the submarines on board, a unique engineering feat was performed. The Trans- porter was sunk in dock, and the submarines were floated on deck and sunk into position in the hold. The dock was then dried," and the steamer, with her novel cargo, pro- ceeded to Yokohama, where the submarines were delivered for the Japanese Govern- ment. The Transporter is undergoing repairs by the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company, and on leaving Barry will proceed to Elswick .to convey a oargo of artillery for delivery to the order of the War Office and I the Admiralty.

The day's play consisted of two rounds under medal conditions, the lowest four scores qualifying to conclude the com- i petition under match play to-day. The; weather, unfortunately, was broken, but some splendid golf was witnessed, and in hit-, first round Harry Va.rdon broke the record of the course. Vardon went round in 66. two better than Kirkcaldy's score. His golf was well- nigh perfect, and especially bo-mewards did Vardon excel. His figures read:— I Out 53444344 3 = 34 I In 43434443 3=321 in tne atternoon "arüon aia 11 ana tni.s i placed him first. Massy, Herd, and Torn Ball qualified, but the latter had to withdraw owing to another engagement to-day. The result was to admit Fred Robeon, but a curious position was raised, Massy, who was balloted against Robson, claiming that ;f ball d.d not play he (Jitaisy, was entitled to a walk-over. It is expected, however, that the Frenchman will carry through his tie to-day. Resultsm ■ ■ 1st r d. sna r a. i u.

James Asked to Assume Charge At a largely-attended meeting of the execu- tive committee of the National Pageant of Wales on Tuesday night, when the Lord Mayor presided, a host of details were dis- cussed and satisfactorily dealt with. A vote of condolence was passed in conneo- tion with the Newport dock disaster, and the Mayor of Newport (Mr. Graham White), who was present at the meeting, thanked the com- mittee for their thoughtful action. The committee expressed its sympathy with Mr. F. H. Jotham, chairman of the finance committee, in his illness. It was decided to forward a vote of con- gratulation to Mr. Fred L. Davis and Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., upon the satisfac- tory settlement of the dispute in the coal- field. The question of photographic rights again occupied attention, and it was decided to reserve in the agreement with the official photographer, Mr. C. Corn, absolute freedom to newspaper representatives and press agencies to take photographs throughout the pageant period. The Secretary (Mr. A. W. Swash) reported that Mr. Oswald Stoll had offered to sub- scribe twenty guineas to the funds of the oommittee on condition that he was granted the bioscopio rights and the right to dispose of the films, and the nffer was accepted. It was decided not to allow the sa.le f pic- torial postcards, &c.. on the stands during the performances, the committee beirg desirous that the attention of the spectators should be distracted as little as possible from the events in the arena. Mr. Swash detailed the arrangements made for a public meeting in support of the pageant at Bridgend that (Tuesday) evening, at which Mr. J. M. Randall would preside and for which Alderman T. J. Hughes had acted as secretary. He also reported that he had arranged to address the school-chil- dren of Lla-ntrisant in the castle grounds to- day (Wednesday), when Mr. Meyler Thomas would preside.—The committee were much gratified with the information. COSTUMES DEPARTMENT. Mr. S. W. Allen stated that the work wa.s now progressing satisfactorily in the cos- tumes department, thanks to the excellent assistance afforded by Mr. I. Vaughan Evans and Mr. W. V. James. These gentlemen had carefully dissected the characters in the pageant book, and, as the Master and His- torian were now fully engaged in their own special departments, the costumes and finance committees had decided to ask Mr. W. V. James to kindly devote the whole of his time to the classification, and distribution of costumes up to the time of the full-dress rehearsals. He was pled to report that Mr. James had consentecr to do so, and the finance committee now recommended that that gentleman should be suitably recom- pensed for his valuable services. This recommendation was adopted unani- mously, and performers should, therefore, get into communication with Mr. James at Pageant House with regard to their costumes without delay. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HELP. As a; slight token of the committee's appre- ciation of the indefatigable labours of Mr. and Mrs. Swash, Mrs. Snead Davies, and Mrs. Lawson Jones, it was decided to ask them to acoept their costumes from the committee free of cost. The names of several other ladies and gentlemen who have given their services ungrudgingly at Pageant House were also mentioned, and the L-ord Mayor remarked that the committee would later on be in honour bound to fully acknowledge the invaluable assistance rendered by-them. Appreciative references were made to the pageant booklet issued-by the Great Western Railway Company, 10,000 copies of which were being circulated by that company at their own expense. FANCY DRESS BALDS. Mr. J. A. Jones reported tnat tne arrange- ments for the fancy dress balls on July 26 and July 30 were well in hand, but tbp;t it had not yet been definitely decided whether these events should be held at the Park-hall or at the new skating rink in the Cardiff Anns Park. The tickets for the first ball would be 10s. 6d. (or 18s. for doubles), and for the second ball 56. each. At each event the Royal Marines String Band would be in attendance. INJURING THE PAGEANT. 1-1 -1 The Lora Mayor said lie una nouteu w lLU regret that resolutions calculated to injure the pageant were being passed and circulated by certain Rechabite lodges in the district. Mr. J. Austin Jenkins said he had seconded Mr. Edward Thomas's resolution with regard to the exclusion of the sale of intoxicants from the ground during the' pageant performances and he was extremely disappointed to see certain people still trying to injure the pageant after the committee had done all in its power to arrive at a fair compromise on the question. He was, however, pleased to believe that those efforts would be quite abor- tive. Already 47,000 children had been booked to attend on three days. (Hear, hear.) AMBULANCE AND TELEPHONES. -'1-.L Mr. Herbert Lewis brongui up ice question of ambulance precautions, and said he pro- posed to invite all the ambulance men throughout the county of Glamorgan to give their aid. There would be an ambulance tent on the ground. Mr. Lewis also reported that the National Telephone Company had kindly consented to instal a complete telephone system to sixteen various points on the ground for a nominal sum, and that the company's employes had generously decided to give their services free during the installation. Mr. E. W. M. Corbett and Mr. Herbert Lewis were requested to confer with the head- constable (Mr. McKenzie) with regard to the efficient policing of the ground and its environs during the evening performances. PAGEANT MEETING AT BRIDG- F.\D. A largely-attended and enthusiastic meet- ing, organised by Alderman T. J.

It has been stated that over 1.700 men were absent from the Fforchaman, Aberaman, Treaman, and Lletty Shenkin Collieries. At Penrhiwceiber the dispute with the stokers continues. The stoking it done by some firemen. DOUBLE SHIFT DIFFICULTY AT MAESTEG. The colliery owners in the Maesteg district had arranged for double shifts on the coal. the first shift to go in at six o'clock and come oat at two o'clock, the second to go in at 2.45 and come out at 10.45. The miners, however, at a mass meeting last Thursday decided not to recognise the aiternoon shift. In accordance with this resolution, all the day men pre- sented themselves for work on the morning shift on Tuesday, but a large number of them were notified that work could not be found for them on tha-t shift, and they returned home- Th- men who had heen marked for the morning shift were let down. TROUBLE SETTLED. The workmen employed at the Cymmer Steam Coal Pits, Porth, owned by Messrs. Insole (Limited), have arrived at a settle- mont of the working hours, and work was resumed on Tuesday. The hours agreed upon where those suggested by the men, viz., a coal-cutting shift from six to two, and a, repairing shift from nine to five. The Kaynes Pit, No. 2 Level, owned by the same company, is still idle, the workmen having failed to agree with the management as to tho hours of working. MINOR TROUBLES AT ABERTILLERY. After a stoppage of a few days the Six Bells Collieries, Abertillery, 'owned by Messrs. John Lancaster and Co., have resumed opera- tions. Messrs. Poweli Tillery's three Aber- tillery collieric-s-Graig, Tillery, and Vivian —wore idle on Tuesday through the men dis- senting from the management's views. The manager wished the men in the Vivian to commence work in some seams at six o'clock arid finish at two o'clock, and colliers work- ing on other seams to commence at eight o clock and work till four. It was hinted that in case of a refusal about 200 men would be discharged. After several interviews with the owners the latter agreed to allow all the men to start at six and ascend at two o'clock, and under these conditions the Tillery Pits, Abertillery, resume work this morning. The management of the Cwmtillery and Rose Heyworth Collieries not being in the Coal- owners' Association, the collieries have been working regularly, the day men starting at six and finishing- at two, and the night men working the nine to five shift. TROUBLE AT NEWPORT DOCKS. L .1- Some trouble has arisen amongst HIe tia.De. men employed at the Newport docks conse- quent upon the dislocation of trade due to the uncertainty which prevailed in the matter of coal supply. The cranemen. at Newport docks employed on general cargo work could not all be guaranteed at onoe full permanent work. They have, therefore, taken umbrage, and a number of meetings were held on Tues- day to consider the position. About two dozen men were concerned. Steps are, how- ever. being taken to carry on the work with other cranemen. I PROLONGED STRIKE PROBABLE IN WARWICKSHIRE. A conference between the Warwickshire coalow,ners' and miners' representatives took place at Birmingham on Tuesday with reference to the Eight Hours Act. At present all the pits in Warwickshire except one are idle, and nearly 1,500 men are on strike. The point at issue is as to the meal- time allowance. The owners will allow only fifteen minutes, but the men claim half an hour. No agreement was arrived at, and a. prolonged st,rike is probable. I BOYS CAUSE A STOPPAGE. The Eight Hours Act continues to cause considerable trouble in and around Sheffield. The men are perfectly satisfied, but the boys have broken loose, and have stopped working in a good many pits.

SWANSEA SUNDAY TRADING At a meeting of the Swansea Watch Com- mittee on Tuesday certain comments by the magistrates as to the absence of any bye- law by which the owners of horsee which were ridden to the danger of the public on the sands could be prosecuted, as well as the riders, who were strangers to the town, were read, and the Head-constable said tha.t the town-clerk was now getting up a bye-law with this object in view. An offer of two houses in Pleasant-street by the Duke of Beaufort for E450 for the extension of police facilities was referred to a committee. It was decided to present Police-constable Abbott with k2 for his plucky conduct in stopping a runaway horse, and to write a letter of compliment to Police-constable English for his detection of a sheep- stealing case. Letters were read from the congregation of Libanug Chapel, Cwmbwrla, and from the Shop Assistants' Union protesting against the action of the committee in ceasing the Sunday trading prosecutions. The shop assistants feared that it might lead to Sunday labour in all trades. A circular to local authorities from the Glamorgan Welsh Congregational Association on the same subject was read. Mr. Miles thought that, notice should be taken of the communications. The Chairman (Dr. Rawlings) said the com- munications would be "knowledged: As for the subject they raised, it was a question for the electors, and he hoped they would deal with it next November. The Mayor read a letter from a Mr. T. Davies, of Toronto, commending the methods of the Toronto authorities in town-beauti- fying to the notice of the council of Swansea. The mayor handed the letter to the press. REWARD FOR BRAVERY. At a meeting of the Swansea Watch Com. mittee on Tuesday a certificate of bravery and a sovereign were presented to Ramuel Sullivan, No. 5. Charles-street, for rescuing from death by drowning a lad named Joseph Fitch in the canal lock, North Dock, on May 24. The Mayor (Mr. Tutton) said that the act of the recipient in jumping into the canal lock showed sterling stuff, as it was a dangerous place. and Sullivan had no time for reflection. The mayor shook him by the hand, and said he had possibly saved a valuable member of society.

I FARMERS IN COURT, The Radnorshire justices were engaged till a late hour at Presteign on Tnesday in inves- tigating several serious charges against farmers. In the first ca,&,e a farmer's son. named Armishaw, of The Duffryn, near Pres- teign, was fined £ 2 and costs and advocate's fee, being convicted of having on the 8th of June seriously assaulted a farm labourer naiued Pitchford. In the second oharge, descrioed by the prosecuting solicitor as a most brutal case, Mrs. Armishaw was charged with committing a serious assault upon Miss Annie Faulkner, housekeeper to Mr. Morris, a neighbouring farmer. Plaintiff stated that defendant met her and knocked her down,, tore her clothes, and stuffed her mouth full of nettles and dock leaves, and set a dog at her, which bit her on the leg. Dr. Deben- ham confirmed the witness as to her injuries. Defendant was fined El and costs. Mr. Careless was for the prosecution, and Mr. J. R. Jacob for the defence. The most serious oase-was that in which Messrs. Armishaw (father and son) were charged by Messrs. Pitchford (father and son) with assault and threatening with a gun. The evidence was that defendants met the plaintiffs at their house and ordered them away, and brought out a gun, and, fol- lowing them down the road, fired the gun at them. One of The plaintiffs stated that he heard the shots go over his head about two yards off. Owing to the lateness of the hour this case was adjourned for a week.

KHARTOUM CATHEDRAL J A meeting was held at the Mansion House, London, on Tuesday to further the scheme for the erection of an Anglican cathedral at Khartoum. The Lord Mayor presided, and the Duke of Connaught was present. The Sirdar states that the sum of Xll,000 was required to complete the original design. The following letter, enclosing a contribu- tion of 200 guineas from the King, was received from Sir Dighton Probyn:- The King quite agrees with you about the desirability, if not urgent necessity, from a political, as well as a religious, point of view that an English church which will compare favourably with the churches already built there by otner countries and persuasions should at once be erected at Khartoum. The Prince of Wales contributed 100 guineas.

HEREFORD GAS PROFITS. At a meeting of the Hereford Town Council on Tuesday the Mayor extended a hearty welcome to the new town-clerk, Mr. A. Holt Mr. Wallis hoped that better qualified assistant teachers would be engaged for the city schools. Mr. Symonds replied that amongst the un- certificated teachers there were many with great aptitude for teaching. Surplus profits on the gasworks under- taking amounting to XL,OW were transferred to the city improvement fund account, thereby saving a sewers rate of 2d. in the JE. The profits on the gasworks for the year were stated to be £ 4,388.

The Abersychan Crime SUCCESTED INSANITY OF MURDERER I We have received the following letter from Mr. G Jones, the manager of the Woodfield Colliery, Blackwood, who declares that the man John Edmunds, who was executed at Usk on Saturday, was insane:— Sir,The account of the execution of John Edmunds at Usk on Saturday is gruesome reading, and the question arises naturally, Was the condemned man accountable for his actions?" The deed committed was so dastardly that I am afraid that the mental condition of Edmunds was not inquired into by the proper authorities as it should have been. That his miud was at times unhinged I am certain, for near the end of February, 1908, I dismissed him because of his strange actions, as I felt that it was not safe for him to work underground. He was then employed as a night haulier. For about a fortnight after he was dis- missed and paid off he would hang around the colliery, and if he saw a tram of rubbish on the rubbish tip he would take a shovel, which he always carried with him, and dis- charge it, or do some other work if I was not about, the men, of course, allowing him. As soon. however, as he would see me coming he would run away. I found out that he would get into a disused level and would begin working without anybody knowing. I, consequently, had to threaten to send for the police before I got him to keep away. .He would, however, not apply for any pay for the work he had done. That he was not compos mentis was quite evident, and that was the only reason I had for dismissing him. He was, before he bega.n to be strange, a quiet, inoffensive young fellow, and performed his work satisfactorily. He left this locality, and the brutal crime bad been expiated before I knew that the condemned man was the sAme John Edmunds who worked for me eighteen months ago. Otherwise I should have given publicity to this before. On Saturday an insane man was led to the gallows, and although the crime that he committed was most revolting, the fact whether he was sane ot insane should have been prop-orly inquired into. This I feel con- fident was not done, and the authorities con- cerned can draw what oonsolation they may from the above fact.—I am, &c., G. JONES, Manager Woodfield Colliery, Black-wood- Statement by tne oolicitor. I inquiries were maac our r-oiibyyui/i representative on Tuesday evening of Mr. Harold Saunders, solicitor, Pontypool, who acted for the condemned man. Mr. Saunders stated that he made close inquiries into the family history of Edmunds, but found no trace of insanity in the family. The man was visited two or three times by the prison doctor during his incarceration, and that official emphatically declared that there was nothing the matter with the mental condi- tion of Edmunds. Under tlieoe circumstances, Mr. Saunders stated that he saw no ground for eetting up the plea of insanity.

Civility at Post Office ———— .A. ADMONITION TO COUNTER CLERKS The value and desirability. of politeness on the part of Post Office telephone operators were neatly emphasised some time ago in an official circular, and an interesting corol- lary to the document in question has now been issued, which it is safe to assert will be welcomed by the public at large, and especially by such persons as are wont to become exasperated by the occasional insou- I ciance and tendency to reverie of the girl behind the post-office counter. It should be noticed, however, that Mr. Buxton, in the circular to which reference is made, addressee his tactful and timely remarks to both sexes. The circular appears with the heading "Civility at the Public Counters," and its tenour is as follows:- The Postmaster-General receives from, tim» to time complaints of inattention and incivility on the part of Post Office ser- vants of both sexes employed at the public counters both in London and the pro. vinces. The Complaint is really not so much of actual rudeness on the part of the counter clerks in question, as of the indifference and, condescending attitude which they adopt in the performance of their duties. The Postmaster-General is satisfied that t,he very large majority of counter clerks deserve nothing but commendation as regards their relations with the public, but he fears that there are exceptions, and that certain individuals fail to act up to the high standard of courtesy, attention, and promptitude that are rightly expected from the service. The Postmaster-General recognises that the members of the public may be on occa- sion exacting or unreasonable, and that misunderstandings may arise, but he would impress upon the staff that it is one of their chief duties to avoid friction, and to exercise unfailing civility in their dealings with the public in all circumstances. He would add that he regards courtesy, good humour, and an obliging disposition, whether shown towards the public or col- leagues in the Post Office, as qualities that should have considerable weight in the selection of offioers for supervising appoint- ments.

TAFF VALE FUSION BILLS. I MR. KEIR HARDIE AND PETI- TIONS TO THE COMMITTEE. In the House of Commons on Tuesday Mr. KEIR HARDIE (Lab., Merthyr Tydfil) moved the following instruction, which he said had been agreed to by the promoters of the respective Bills:- To the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the Taff Vale Railway (Rhymney Railway Vesting, Ac.) Bill, and the Taif Vale Railway (Cardiff Railway Vesting, Ac.) Bill. That it be an instruction to the Com- mittee to receive all petitions to be heard against the Bills in Committee which may be deposited not later than five days before the first sitting of the Committee, and to hear the petitioners thereon if the Com- mittee thinks fit. J I The motion was agreed to. I STRONG OPPOSITION FORE- I CASTED. It has been arranged that the two Bills vesting the Cardiff and Rhymney Railways in the Taff Vale Company shall be considered by a Select Committee of the Commons, which meets next Tuesday, July 13. The Bills v ll he hotly opposed, as they were before the Lords Committee.

LADY BUTCHER'S FAILURE AT MONMOUTH. The public examination in bankruptcy took place on Tuesday at Newport of Mrs. Eliza Probyn, butcher, of 24, Monnow-street, Mon- mouth, before Mr. Registrar Hornby. In answer to the Official Receiver. Mrs. Probyn said her gross liabilities were C835 is. 8d., those expected to rank for dividend at C285 16s. lid., and the assets were placed at 1169 3s. 9d. She attributed her failure to want of capital (owing to payment of JE200 to her lon, George Probyn). losses by helping mem- bers of her family, bad debts, bad trade, and heavy expenses. In answer to Mr. Lyndon Cooper, who appeared for creditors, she said there were seven claims by her children upon furniture and effects. Four of the children lived a.t home. On the application of the Official Receiver, the examination was ad- journed till the next oorurt to make inquiry into several matters and to give Mrs. Probyn an opportunity of filing a cash account for the past twelve months. The Registrar said the aooount already furnished showed that debtor paid away £400 more than she re- ceived. It looked, therefore, as though the accounts were all wrong. The Official Re- i ceiver: Yes, they have been told 80.

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF I NEWPORT BRIDGE. The joint committee of the Parliamentacy and works committee of the Newport Cor- poration appointed to consider the reports of the engineers upon the various schemes for re-constructing Newport Bridge met on Tuesday. The report stated that a cofferdam round the three centre piers of the bridge would cost L54,000, and making the east wing of the bridge secure £ 12,000, and in faoe of this expense it was recommended that a, new bridge be built. The committee decided, by a majority of two, to defer the consideration of the report for a fortnight, to give the members an oppor- tunity of still further considering the various proposals.

SEASIDE SKIN TROUBLES. Baby Covered with Inflamed Sores Change of air and water frequently bringa on serious*- skin rashes and sores Pleasure- seekeri—and especially thora who make holi- day at the seaside--w-ill, therefore, make sure that. their travelling ba.g contains a supply of Zam-Buk, the world's greatest skin-oure and healer, and also a box or tablet of Zam Buk Medicinal Soap, which is the best for all skins. Mrs. Gowa.rd, who lives at 1 bk, 102, Lee Bank-road, Edgbaston, Birjning-ham. said, to a "Birmingham EdHY" reporterWe spent our fortnight's holiday at Yarmouth last year. Just before returning home Willie, aged three, complained of skin irritation, and we found that a ra-sh had broken out on several parts of his body. When we reached home the rash had spread all aver Willie'a skin, and we were so alarmed that my hus- band went for the doctor at once. Our pool" child was suffering agonies from the irrita- tion and burning. As the doctor's ointment was not having any beneficial effect-the child was just a mass of sores from head_to foot—we decided to place him in the hospital. I. therefore, made all the preparations, but on the evening previous to carrying them out I read in my paper how Zam-Buk had cured another Birmingham boy. I was so deeply impressed that I immediately bought a box of Zam-Buk and dressed Willie's skin with the halm. Willie was so much better next morning that I at once dropped the hospital idea, and continued with Zam-Buk. We were even more hopeful when our child lost the desire to scratch. We went on applying Zam-Buk regularly, and it gradually cleared away all the sores and the old dry and disfiguring tissue. Zam-Iiuk grew in each place beauti- fully clear and healthy skin." e5957
