I Liners at Fishguard MAURETANIA BREAKS HER OWN RECORO I Americans in Merry Mood The Mau Tetania, arrived at Queenstown at 6.33 a.m. on Monday, making the passage from Xew York in 4 days 13h. 41min., being the fastest eastern passage on record end 46min. better than the previous best. Her average speed was 25.61 knots. The pasjfcge would have been reduced by a further three hoiu a but for a dense £06' experienced. The Maure- t,,I,r i a now holds a tania now holds all the eastward and west- ward records. The Cunardcr was sig'lited sixteen mile:, west of fitrumble Head at 11.45. and dropped anchor at 12.51. The mail tender got along- side at 12.58, and cast off again at 1.14 witii 1,145 ,ac,k. ab,o-arcl. The mail train left at 1.<15. The passenger tender came alongside at 1.23, and disembarked 235 passengers. She left ten minutes la-tor, and reached the quay at 1.49. The first train left at 2.24. Amongst the passengers lauded were Mr. K. Yamagtichi, chief architect of the TAkyo Imperial University, and Mr. M. Watea. chief librarian of the panic institution, who are on a world tour of inspection of educa- tional institutions, starting at sJan .Francisco, where they visited the famous Conservatoire, they proceeded to Salt Lake City, where they were greatly interested in the Mormon Temple. Thence they proceeded to Chicago, Niagara, Boston, Now Haven, and New York. During their sojourn in this country they intend to visit the majority of the universities, including thosa of7 Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Manchester. Both speak excellent Eng- < lish. particularly Mr. Watea, who ^remarked that everything in America was on a grotesquely large scale, so to speak. Every- body appeared to be very busy and always in a great hurry. After leaving' England these gentlemen will proceed to the Continent and there continued their investigations, sub- sequently returning to Japan by the Trans- Sib-ei-ian route. Prompt Despatch at Cardiff When, the three separate trains arrived at Cardiff the utmost promptitude was shown by the official,.? in despatching them upon the remainder of their journey. The mail train ran alongside the platform at 3.57, disgorged about 100 mail-bags, changed engines, and was away again by 3.59. This wae a record piece of work for Cardiff. Besides the South Wales mails, there were many bags for the Midlands and the South of England, includ- ing Plymouth. The first of the passenger trains arrived at 4.40, and left three minutes later, and the second drew up at the platform at 4.50, and its stay was also confined to three minutes. Roth trains contained a large number of passengers, and some of the more euthusiae- tie visitors waved little Yankee flags from the windows. The leading Great Western Railway officials were much pleased with the promptitude shown by the station staff. As usual, 'a large number of people gathered at the station to witness the arrival and depar- ture of the trains. Cardiffian's Return There was an affecting scene at Cardiff when the second of the Cunard-Ooean expresses arrived. Among the passengers was Mr. John Gorman, of South. Bethlehem, United States of America., who left Cardiff fifteen years ago. He was met by a number of relatives, including several ladies, who all shed tears of joy. Mr. Gorman has amassed considerable wealth during his absence. He is a brother ot' Mr. Tom Gor- man, who used to play football for Cardiff and the Cardiff Harlequins. The official time of a-rrival at Paddington are as follows: Mail train, 6.23; fii-t pas- senger express, 7.17, second passenger express, 7.20 p.m. Glowing Tributes by Captain Pritchard Fishguard proved that, she is capable of more than a mere spasmodic effort when dealing with Atlantic traffic, for both the Mauretania aud the Ambrose arrived within a few hours of each other on Monday. The Ambrose landed more passengers than ever before in the local history of the Booth Line Captain Pritchard, when interviewed, ex- pressed keen disappointment that the fog should have interfered, remarking that Fish- guard was a port of the future. He did not know anything about the disembarking faci- lities, but he considered it quite a safe harbour, and one at which despatch could be obtained, both for mails and passengers and their impedimenta. Eleven hundred and fifty-four eaclss of mails were disembarked from the Maurs- tania, together with 1.500 parcels. Of the 250 passengers on the Cunarder, 180 travelled first-class. The passengers, who lunched in New York on Wednesday, woi-e eiiabled to dine in London on Monday evening, with the added advantage of being in time for the theatre.*?. It was stated that the Parisian passengers would reach their destination at about five o'clock this (Tuesday) morning. Important Announcement by Cunard I Official A prominent Cunard official remarked to our Fishguard correspondent that the expeditious manner in which traffic had been handled reflected great credit upon the Great Wes- tern Company, adding that it was wonderful how all difficulties had been overcome, and mails, baggage, and passengers were handled in the new ocean port in a manner that evoked the utmost admiration from American passengers, some of whom have made scores of journeys between the New World and the Old. When his attention was drawn to the aban- donment of Holyhead by the White Star Line during the winter, he said that, so far as Kishguard v was concerned, the present arrangements would continue, subject, of course, to favourable weather prevailing. The chief consideration was the comfort of pas- sengers. and landings would not be effected when boats arrived so late as to prevent passengers) reaching Loudon before midnight. He added that paasengerss who had already been landed at Fishguard had been highly delighted by the facilities afforded, and that it was subject of general comment tha.t the Cunard Company, in accelerating transit to London and the Continent, were merely pro- viding a logical corollary to the building- of vessels like the Mauretania and Lusitania. because it was absurd to provide boats which, whilst breaking all records, might be held up by the tide at the Mertey ba,r, thus nullify- ing all advantage secured by extra speed. American Visitor's Eulosfy of Driscoll A passenger aboard the Mauretania on the record-breaker's latest trip, was an old Car- diffian in the person of Mr. John Gorman, of Bethlehem, Pa., who in his early days was a well-known sport in the city. Mr. Gorman, who was accompanied by his wife, makes a visit to his birthplace after an absence of fifteen years, and when the special boat express drew up at Cardiff Great Western Station lie received quite an ovation from a large crowd of relatives and early boyhood friends Well known across the oth" side as a prominent sport, an Evening Vxpress" ma.n made his way to 159, Ciare?road. Cardiff, where Mr. German is staying with his brother, with a Yiew of gdting a few impressions on the doings of the famous pair of W?sh boxers, Jimmy Dri.scoll and Fred Welsh, during their visits to the States, for Mr. Gorman is a big figure in the American boxing world, and has managed some good lads in his time, including young Willie Lucas (1331b.), one of the beet boys in the States, and Jack Reed 1210]b.), who boxed a draw with Sam Lang- ford a.t the National Sporting Club, Phila- delphia. With regard to Fred Welsh Mr. GormAn could not say much, as he last saw him when Freddy had still to climb the ladder of fame, but with regard to Driscoll he waxed eloquent. "What do I think of Driscoll? Well, he's lightning! I saw him box Glover Hayes at the National Sporting Club, Philadel- phia, one of the best boys at his weight that have ever been seen in the State. Driscoll went so fast that Glover never saw him, and after the fight Glover said that be thought that everyone in the vast audience was tliroAing boxing gloves at him. I also saw him 11 x Tommy Langhan;, 4t very clever lad, who boxed Abe Attell to a draw. lviien the cotitflm was over Langhani told Voting Lucas that he had never been hit so often in his life. Yes; he's the fastest thing I have ever seen in the fight- ing line yet, and I have Hoon a few." went on the visitor, and I guess that if he and Owqgt Mora,n meet Owen won't, see the way he goes. He is two blocks ahead, is Driscoll. At present I a.m managing Young Billy Lucas, and if can fix up anything for him over this side I'll fetch him across. He's a good boy, but he can't drive the crowa crazy like Driscoll." Night Disembarkment from Booth Liner The Booth liner Ambrose, homeward bound from Manaos, Madeira, Lisbon, and Cher- bourg, dropped anchor at Fishguard at 9.7 p.m. on Monday nigM, and the tender Sir Francis Drake came along-side eiglit minutes later. Thirty-three passengers and,. their baggage were disembarked in nine minutes amidst a scene of enthusiasm unprecedented in the history of the port. Cheers and American catch-calls prevailed throughout th-j> whole period, the darkness, illuminated by brilliant, electric light, lending weird effect to the work of disembarkation. The luggage landed was heavy, and embraced such unusual items as a wheeled bassinette, a to-by's cot. and wicker chairs innumerable. The fnBt pensoiis to board the liner after the Customs officials were stewards hearing baskets containing bottles pf whisky, cans of milk, and consignments of e*.3, all of whicii had been ordered by Maroonigram. Their advent was enthusiastically cheered by the lxisbcatrens. The harbour aua-7 at 9.37, and the ocean express was drawn up alongside, this being the first. occaeion for either Booth or Cunard passengers to be able to pass direct from tender to train. The Customs officials worked expeditiously, and the train left at ten o'clock, 53 minutes aitcr the dropping of the anchor. The special trai.i with the Ambrose pas- sengers arfived at Cardiff at 12.16 a.m., and proceeded a.fter a stay of five minutes •Several passengers g'ot out, and all expressed themselves highly pleased with the excellent* facilities for landing at Fishguard and the elaborate arrangements to ensure the com- fort of the passengers on the train.

She steamed 2,973 miles, from Ambrose lightship to Eddystone lighthouse, and the passage occupied five days, seven- hours, and 25 minutes.

Moors Driven Back COMPLETELY CUT OFF BY SPANISH I CIFF BY SPANISH TROOPS Melilla, Monday.—General Marina advanced this morning at the head of 10,0:0 men into tae territory of Beni vsicnr, who have long pretested tbeir friendship for Spa-in, but whoso loyalty has been under suspicion.' Thi<? tribe dwells in territory to the north-west of the Guriigu heights, and their village touches th3 town. At Jam Fo) tii, the field suns cpe-ned fire on the houses, c&mp:c:?!y tak?ri?, th? YiH&g-Ers ?by su.t-pr?. The <?pcnin?- shots eaH?ed th,?TLIl to fly from their houses, many hoisting the white flag, and hastening towards Melilla. These were spa-red, the Spaniards only firing on those who attempted to escape to the hllb. About teo:) men, women, and children thus became pri-oners. The troops, directed by General Marina- ;0 person, then advanced to the north-west over very difficult country, making a great sweep- ing movement, to drive the Mcorn back on to the Gurugii heights. The Spaniards met with determined resistance, but the infantry advancing with great dash, drove the Moors steadily back, and General Marina, now sits astride the peninsula- from seashore to seashore, completely cutting the Moors off from the north-west. While the Moors were occupied on this side. General San Martin crept cut. of Sok El Arha and advanced towards Selouan, to Posos de Ashraz, meeting with little resistance. He is now on the west shore of Mar Chica, within twelve knometros of Selcuian. The Spanish losses are not at present. known, but they are slight c.onid-ering the importance cof the results obtained.

BIG BRISTOL BLAZE I The greater portion of the premises of the Bristol Distilling Company, Hedcliffe-street, Bristol, was destroyed by fire in the early hours of this morning. The conflagration started in the upper portion of the block, about 108ft. by 80ft., extending from the street to the harbour, and stoed with great quanti- ties of grain and maize. The fire burned furiously, and barges moored at the wharf were ignited by the burning debris. The fire- men, by tremendous exertion, were able to save the adjoining premises.

REVEL OF THE BELLS. j Kever has the old Flemish city of Antwerp heard a more beautiful revel of bells than the performance given -on Saturday evening on the cathedral chimes by the famous ringer, Professor Denijn, of Malines. The municipality was entertaining 2GO German doctors at the qit y-hall, which lies iimler the shadow of the great cathedral tower. When the official reception was over all the windows were thrown wide open to hear the chimes. Fifty thousand people stood in the squares and streets that surround the mas- sive stone pile and listened in absolute silence for an hour while Professor Denijn played several classical selections.

Irish Party Votes CARDIFF REVISION COURT Ijdt-t right's sitting of the division of the Cardiff voters' list before 1\1.r. E. Miln-ev Joneis) brought to light the fact that a large number of the Irish party claims were had in form, and Mr. H. C. G. Allgocd even alleged they were forgeries. In fairness, how- ever, to Mr. T. F. Hurley, who represented the United Irish League and the Catholic Association, it was stated that he W15 entirely ignorant of the course which events had taken. The ma-tt-er ranged round a batch of claims witnessed in nearly every case by a canvasser named J. O'Dri.scoll. When the first few claims were taken both Mr. Jamls Thornton (Conservative agent) and Mr. All- good took exception to a canvasser witness- illrg the signature of the claimants. In the case of o-ne claimant whose form was wit- nessed by O'Driscol] they elicited the startling information that it was not his signature. The Revising Barrister appealed to Mr. Hurley, and asked if O'Drtecoll wa, present. Mr. Hurley replied that he expected hi-m at any moment, but up to the conclu- sion of the sitting O'Dri.scoll had not arrived. The Barrister said he would like to see O'Driscoll, and Mr. Hurley said he would endeavour to get him to attend this (Tues- day) morning. Mr. Allgood complain-ed of the expense he had been put to, and said that it was in tho revising barrister's power to order a pay- ment towards the amount of costs he had been put in prosecuting inquiries into the claims witnessed by the man O'Driscoll. There was also a suggestion of instituting criminal p rooeed i n gs. At a result, the Irish party will lose nearly 100 votes. 0'0 riscoll Cone Away Un the resumption of the revision court it Cardiff to-day, before Mr. E. Milner Jones. revising barrister. Mr. T. F. Hurley, who represented the Irish and Catholic parties, said he wished to refer to the O'Driscoll mutter. They had sent twice to O'Driscoll's house. The first time they could not get any information, and on the second occasion thev were informed that he had gone to Bridg- end to work. He (Mr. Hurley) had been in- structed by the Catholic Association to apolo- gise for what had arisen, and to say that they knew nothing whatever about the canvassing of O'Driscoll. Mr. Milner Jones: I quite appreciate that,, but you must continue your efforts to get O'Driscoll here. Mr. Hurley: Certainly. I also wish to stat-e that know nothing about the matter in my instructions to appear before you. Mr. 1filner Jones: I quite understand that The whole matter concerns O'Driscoll and O'Driscoll only. Mr. Hurley The committee of the Catholic Association have instructed me not. to place any claim before you that O'Driscoll had anything to do with. Mr. Milner Jones: I do not think that the fact of O'Driscoll having anything to do with a claim should invalidate it. Mr. Hurley Well, sir, the Catholic Associa- tion feel very sore about the matter, and are anxious to wash their hands of the whole affair. Mr. Allgood (Radical agent) said OdJriseoll was concerned in 71 claims, out of which only about half a dozen were correct. lie appre- ciated what Mr. Hurley had said, and knew he had nothing to do with the canvass. There was one witness pretty general in the 147 claims of the Irish P'vrtv, and he was afraid that Mr. James Horton (Conservative agent) would have to expose some of the things that he (Mr..Liigood) had referred to the previous evening.

Articulationfor P.Cs. — MAGISTRATE AND CONSTABLE. I At the close of a gambling case at North London yesterday the magistrate called a young constable who had given evidence into the witness-box. and inquired if this were his first case. The constable said it was not. He had been in the force three years. The Magistrate: I thought from the way in which you gave your evidence that it wa.s your first ease. I was about to give you a little advice. In giving your evidence yon ran your words one into another, and made it very difficult for anyone to foUow what you said. You should, in giving evidence, speak with the utmost distinctness, giving every word and syllable its proper weight and sound. In your spare tim-8 study arti- culation, and in the future you may thank me for my advice.

TO FIND HER FRIENDS "Will you remain this case for a week?" asked Mary Jane Martin, at Cardiff to-day, when charged with assaulting Police-con- stable William Fox. What for?" inquired the presiding magistrate (Mr. Fenier). "To call witnesses," was the reply. Are they in Australia, that you want a week?" asked Mr. Ferrier. I want to call friends who saw me locked up. as the police used me cruel," said Mary Jane. Dear. me, will to-morrow do?" asked Mr. Ferrier. "The day after, please," came the reply. Very well. give her free- dom to find her friends," said the presiding magistrate.

HER CHANCE I Nellie Jones (21), a respectably dressed young woman, was charged at Cardiff to-day with behaving in a disorderly manner in St. Mary-street.—Prisoner, who said her home was in Jo"erndal&, asked the bench to give her a chance, as no one had given her a chance to retrieve her character. -] T-wetor Bingham said this was quit etrue. The girl had been convicted on each occasion.—The Presiding Magistrate: Will you go to a home? Yes. sir. —You pledge yourself? Yes, sir.—Then we are glad to'giv eyou an opportunity. You may; go.

IN SELF-DEFENCE A well-dressed woman of 21, named Nora. Priest, was charged at Cardiff to-day with behaving in a disorderly manner in St. Mary-street, but when Mr. Sydney Jenkins, who defended, explained to the bench that the prisoner was merely acting in self defence against another woman named Jones, against whom the prisoner had applied for a summons on the the samo morning prior to the assault, the bench allowed her to go.

THE "PECULIAR PEOPLE" I At an inquest held yee>terda;% at Southend oil Mre. Rose Bundock (52), a member of the Peculiar People," the medical evidence pillowed that de,a,th was due to interna! ob- struction. She had declined to see a doctor. The ,rury returned a- verdict in accordance with the medical evidence, and the coroner (Mr. C. E. Lewis) sai dthose who ha4 attended tthe wom + during her illness were morally responsible for her dea-th. He was confident h itniselif that if an operation had been per- formed ,he woman's life would have been prolonged, if not saved.

I A Gruesome Mystery PARTS OF GIRL'S BODY IN A SACK The police of Detroit, in the State 01 Michigan, have a deep mystery, to unravel resulting from the finding of the torso of a beautiful young woman .vrapped in a sack in Ecorse creek, in the suburbs of that city. The identification of the murdered girl followed the discovery of the girl's head at a, point in the creek fifty yards up- stream from where the other ghastly find was made the day before. The head wa-s in a sack used for transporting cement, a. was the torso, at: was weighted down witll brick. With the head were the girl's arms and part of the legs. Her long, heavy, black hair, which had been strangely cropped close from the head, was also in the bag. j There is still missing that part of the body from the knees to well above the thighs, and this is believed to be in 0, third sack, not yet located. The her-ul was in an excelLent state of preservation, indicating that the (Tim( had been com- mitted l'ecen-tly. Teeth were missing from the right side of the mouth, evidently having been knocked out in the girl's de perate struggle for her life. The physicians have concluded from "narks ■about the neck, the signs of hemorrhage in tho ears, and the protrusion of the eyes, that the girl's life had been taken by strangula- tion. It was also apparent that the legs had been sawn off at the knees. The identifica- tion was made by an intimate friend of the victim. f

Echo of Luard fvlurderj ARRESTED MAN LIBERATED A startling development has taken place in connection with the murder of Mrs. Luard, wife of the late Major-general Luard, which took place under such mysterious circum- stances on August 24. 19-33, near the bungalow known as the Casa, situated in the woods at Ightha.m Knoll. A man who had been arrested at Maid- i stone by the Kent police in connection with the affair was on Monday morning brought l before the Sevenoaks magistrates at the local police-court. rBup.erintendent Tai-.cr, the local head of the Kent constabulary, gave evidence of arrest and prisoner's denial of the charge of murdering Mrs. Luard, asked for a remand. Mr. Houise: I shall oppose that application. It eeems to me that the police in this case have for some reason known to themselves, but not known to anybody else, arrested this man upon suspicion. Thirteen months after tins offence they arrest a man in Maidstone Prison who is there on an ordinary charge of common assault. They take proceedings against that man and try to make a case against him. I am afraid to speak within discretion of this case, as I feel very strongly about it. There is no reason why there should be a remand, and if I go too far perha.ps you will stop me. I feel the case is one which ought never to have been brought before this court. The police have had thirteen months in which to find the man guilty of this offenoe-an offence, of ■course, which we all very niuch deplore. and would be only too pleased to find t.he guilty party. But here you have a man against whom there has never been any suggestion of this- character until he is charged with another offence, for which he is committed at Maidstone. So far a.s I can make out the only reason there was to ar,-c-t him was that at some time he had a revolver on him. The police at Maidstone Gaol, continued Mr. House, searched him, took away his clothetS, and gave him other clothes instead. The Chairman: When did this happen? Air. Mouse: It hfu3 'ca.Ken place s-evera.1 times in prison. His clothes ought never to have been taken from him. Prom what I can gather some formalities were gone through to techiiierJlj protect him, but he ought not to have been discharged with the clothes he is now wearing. Even supposing he were not a man of good character he ought to be tried fairly. The police have had him four months in prison, and they have had that time to make inquiries about him, yet they ask for another week to get evidence. They do not propose to offer one of evidence to-day after four months. That is not fair. Tho Chairman: Do you say he has been in prison for four months? Mr. House: Yes, for an assault. Another magistrate: Did you say it was a very trifling offence? Mr. House: It may have .been a serious one, but that is not the point. For four months the police have made their inquiries and found nothing, and they do not intend to give any evidence to-day. I think some evi- dence should be given now, even if it were only to show on what ground the warrant was issued. If they do I shall be satisfied, but I submit that some evidence should be given. Superintendent Taylor again stepped into the box, and said that, although the prisoner had been in prison all that time, the facts relating to this charge bad only recent'y come to the knowledge of the pcdice, and they necessitated that further inauiries should be made. The magistrates again consulted, after which the Chairman said: The bench in of opinion that if there is no further evidence against this man we are hardly justified in remand i n g him." Colonel Warde (chief of the Kent police* then stepped into the box and said: "iW" week certain facts came to my knowledge, upon which at the present time inquiries are being made as regards this man. We are naturally anxious tha.t a remand should take place The Mairman- The Bench is of opinion that they ought to have further evidence. DEFENDANT'S CLOTHES. I .L-' '1'rr _I <uioi.fi untie: uertam statements have been made to-day which are not quite accu- rate as to taking away the prisoner's clothes. He was a,,ked by the governor of the prison if he objected to his clothes being taken from him for certain purposes, and he made no objection whatever, remarking that he would as soon go into others as his own. The Chairman: Are you prepared to put forward further evidence to-day? Colonel Warde: Not to-day. I could state further evidence of my own knowledge, but I should be loth to do so jost now. The police are very much tied and want to make certain inquiries before they are made pub- lic, otherwise it might militate very much against those inquiries. The bench then retired from the court, but returned after a brief absence. The Chairman then said: The bench are of opinion that there is not sufficient evi- dence to warrant us orderi-n, this man's detention. The decision was greeted with cheering at the back of the court, but the demonstration was instantly suppressed. The a.ccused was then discharged and liberated. INTERVIEW WITH ACCUSED. In an interview Woodroof stated that he was brought up in Suffolk, and was a gardener by trade. He had filled situations; at Sandy, Beds., and at Newmarket. Owing to illness, he fell out of employment. Speaking of his movements in August 1-aet year, he said that, after being locked up at Sevenoaks for sleep- ing out, on the 13th inst. he went to Tun- bridge ells, walking back to Hildenborough, and taking train t-o Orpington. On August 24, the day of the murder, he was at Farn- borough.

EARL'S DAUGHTER INJURED Lady Rachel Byng and Lady Joan Byng, daughters of the Bev. the Earl of Strafford, met with an accident yesterday afternoon between Potter's Bar and Wrotham Park, Lord Strafford's Middlesex Beat. They were in a small dogcart nea.t Bentley Heath, and were turning a, corner, when, to avoid some children playing in the roadway, the pony was pnHe-it rather sharply to the side of the road and ran into a ditch. The shafts of the vehicle were broken, and the ladies and their groom were thrown out. Lady Rachel sustained injuries which necessitated medical attendance, and she was carried to the village, returning later to Wrotham Park. She is suffering from shock and injury to the arm and severe bruises. Lady Joan had her leg badly sprained.

The Stage and Morals P.S.A. WARNINC TO THE YOUNC For the first day's meeting of the Xationall P.S.A. Conference in South Wales there 'Irae about 600 delegates—representing a member- ship of 2,300—present at the Cory-hall, Cardiff, oil Monday. Tl;e movement- has made splen- did progress in Wales, in common with other parts of the kingdom. At the morning con- ference tJe r J. E. Wakerley d21iYercd his valedictory address, and then followed the induction of tbe new president Clr. Wil- liam Ward, (Tf London., who was invested with thd new chain of office presented to the National ConfeAnic-o oil Saturday last. The president delivered an eloquentvaddress, and then followed the adoption of the annual report, read by Mr. Eben. Goold, M.A. (Grantham), and the treasurer's report by Mr. Rhodes (Oldham)—the latter pointing to a. balance of 5d. In the afternoon the delegates partook of luncheon in the Wesleyan and Congrega- tional Schoolrooms. Charles-street, by kind invitation of Mr. John Cory. Work of the Sisterhoods Later, ;i^ women's ¡r,a. meeting was held at the Tabernacle, tile Hayes. when the work of the sisterhoods was explained. Mrs. J. Mathieson Forson (Liverpool) was in the chair, and Mrs. C. F. Sanders (Cardiff) greeted the visitors in a speech of cordial welcome.—Mrs. Bartle Pye (Weymouth) rejoiced that at last women were recognised a.s important factors in the social, moral. and spiritual uplifting of the people. They must, she urged, do something to reach the grea t majority who were outside the Churches.—Miss Ki-cid (Birmingham) also dealt with the same subject. A meeting for men only took place in the evening at the C-ory-hall, Sir W. S. Crossman presiding. The Chairman in his opening remarks said young men were left too much alone, and there was too great a distance between the Sunday schools and the after- struggle for existence. Atmosphere of the Theatre The TI-ev. jVfcfFat- Gautrey (Nottingham) urged hi" hearers to beware of the ball-room ajid the theatre, stating that the atmosphere of the theatre was tainted with corruption, and that they had no right to go there at the coot of someone else's moral risk. By endangering another's virtue they jeopar- dised their own. They could be wiser and stronger only by doing right, and could render no finer service to the State than by helping to keep the young free from the leprosy of impurity. (Applause.) Sir William Crossman blamed parents for allowing their children to be out. at unearthly hours when they ought to be in bed. Newspapers and Police-courts The TIev. Whitehead Legg (Reading), falling foul of certain cases in the newspaper, declared, We want a hand in this newspaper Z "iheai-, heari—and expresse i a ho-pe that the Federation would exert its influence so that nothing should appear in print that was calculated to pollute the thoughts and lives of the young. Proceed- ing, he wished the Churches were awake. He attended the police-courts, and believed every parson should do it. He would then hear and see something, and have something to taJk about, and a subject for the next Sun- day's sermon. No parson's education was complete unless he went to the courts. As ministers and superintendents and Christian workers they should como into real contact with the actual realities of life. The conference continues to-day (Tuesday) at the Cory-hall. Brotherhood Member's Caustic Remarks I A well-attended meeting was held at. the Romilly-hall, Parry, on Monday evening, 300 of the conference delegates being present. I Mr. W. Jones-Thomas occupied the chair, and I Mr. George Nicholls, M.P., was the principal speaker. Councillor W. Walker, Sunderland, said that, realising the perils of this generation, it was unwise for any man to sub-let his thinking. Too many men took their politics and religion from the clap-trap of the daily press. He had not a word to say against the press—they were the best asset the movement could possess—but people nowadays could dif- ferentiate. Mr. George Nichclls, M P., spoke on the appeal of the P.S.A. to manhood. He urged them never to believe the man or party who promised to give something for nothing. Drink was not the only enemy the social reformer had to meet. They must not trust Parliament to redeem mankind, for the State at the best could, and would, only off-er facili- ties foe improvement. The Church and State must run in double harness, and the indi- vidual become his own social saviour, for the principle of self-help was not yet dead. The Rev. A. Halla; M.A. (Worcester), also spoke, and votes oi thanks were passed at the close.

PENELOPE AT CARDIFF. Patrons of the New Theatre, Cardiff, are provided with another treat in comedy this week by the presentation of Mr. Somerset Maugham's latest London success "Penelope,' a three-act play, which is being admirably staged by the Hutchison management, whose record of stage product ions now reaches 41. Included in the oast are such popular favourites as 3iit Annie Hughes, a gifted and vivacious actress, who made her first bow to a Cardiff audien-ce on Monday night. Miss Emma tfutchison. and Mr. Robert Minster. The play is full o.f delightful t:itua;t.1ol1s and sage and witty sayings, and is woven round the life of Dr. O'Farrell, a society physician in John-street, Mayfair. After winning in marriage the beautiful daughter of Profes-sor and Mrs. Golight-ly, the doctor is seen intriquing with an imaginary patient named Mrs. Oook, but who in reality is Mrs. Ada Fergusson, the wife of a soldier who is bravely fighting for his country." Mrs. O'Farrell learns of the intrique in an interesting- manner, and instead of spurning her husband, provides him with all facilities. She eventually wins back her husband's love by indifference, and the scene depicting the humiliating position in which Mrs. Furguseon finds herself is very adiusing. Mis-s Annie Hughes makes a clover and charming "Penelope," her splendid acting meriting v.ell-drYc>d applause on several occasions The scene in which she drives home the truth to her dear friend Mrs. Fergusson that Mrs. Mark is dead is exceedingly cleverly done. Mr. Robert Minster, as the unfaithful hus- band, has an ungenerous part to play, but he performs his task in a perfectly pleasing manner. Miss Emma Hutchison, as the saintly Mrs. Golightly, who is more con- cerned! in converting the heathens than in look-ing after her home affairs, is also very fine, whilst other characters are ably sus- tained by Mr. Arthur Wiiloughby (Professor Go-lightly), MT. Arthur Carrell (Mr. Daven- port Barlow), and Miss Mary Jennings, who makes a delightful Mrs. Fergus son. The play is preceded by an amusing duologue, entitled "Two in a Trap," in which Miss Rita Ward and Mr. Gordon Ash appear.

LATE MR. T. R. TIMOTHY Mr. Thomas Richard Timothy, of 47, Richards- terrace, Cardiff, formerly of the Masons' Arms Hotel, Queen-street, Cardiii, licensed victualler, who died on February 21 laft, left estate of the gross value of £ 1,685, of which the net personalty has been sworn at £ 1,619. Probate of his will, dated July 16, 1900, with a codicil of October 9, 1901, has been granted to his widow, Mrs. Jane Timothy (during widowhood only), of 47, Richards-terrace, Car- diff; his son Mr. Henry Augustus Timothy, tobacconist, of 4, Four Elms-road, Cardiff, and Mr. Edward Ilorley, solicitor, of Andrews buildings, Queen-street, Cardiff. The testator left his personal effects and consumable stores to his wife, Mrs. Jane Timothy, abso- lutely, and he left to her the use for life of his household effects, with remainder to his residuary estate, subject to several specific bequests to his children, Isaac Edward Timothy, William Richards Timothy, Henry Augustus Timothy, and Margaret Anne Lovell. The residue of his property he left to his wife during widowhood, with remainder to his children or their issue in equal shares.

SUFFRAGETTE WARFARE Alluding to Mr. lx>r,g's protest against suffragist tactions, Miss Ciiristabel Pankhurst in a letter says, "The Government alone are responsible. They bave wuntollly pro- voked a revolution. Give women the vote, and we renounce our warfare, but until political liberty is accorded to our country- women conscience will not let us give up the fight."

I NEWPORT EMPIRE Eugene Stratton, the master ooon delineator, brings something new with him j on this tour-" The Coou Drum-major"— which, well staged as it is, proved very popular at Newport on Monday night. The burlesque doings of Fred. Keeton, a Witty comedian, excited a great deal of amuse- ment, and gained some well-merited applause. Ben Albert is here again with a store of new patter. A clever little sketch, brimful of humorous situations, is "Iler Devonshire Da-d," given by Mr. Victor Widdi- combe and his company, which tells of a visit of a Devonshire farmer to London. Will Cornish, bell expert; the De Breans, Japanese entertainers; and Alice Maple, comedienne, arc also included in a bright programme.

YESTERDAY'S CRICKET I Mr. Cocjjfane's XT. wanted only 6 rune to beat the Australians when time arrived, and the match ended in a draw. Play at Bray was returned on Monday in fine weather. The Colonials, 24 behind, with ten wickete in hand, continued the inninge. Whittv was soou 01114.. but O'Connor hatted capitally for an hour for 34. M' Alister eoored well until he had made a dozen, when a brilliant low catch in the slips by 4dispoced of him, and, wickets going cheaply, six were down for 95 at lunch. On resuming, a clever and smart bit of fielding by Buckenha-m got rid of the Australian captain for 7, Runs were put on slowly at this period, the batsmeu taking no risks. The close of the innings was sensa- tional, Tarrant jetting three wickete in one over lor no run, and the Australians being all disposed of for 129 Altogether Tarrant secured five wicketa for 40, and Barnes two for 33. Requiring 105 to win, the home side went to the wickete for the second time. Baker was Ibw before scoring. Hobbe made 19 out of 22, but then fell to a gTand, lii»h catch in the out-field by Ra-neford. Hayes and Tarrant natted steadily, but it took an hour to make 5C rune. Hayes was thrown out at 55. The Australians kept down the runs splendidly towards the close, and the home side, with four wickete in hand, still wanted 6 runs when play ceased, and the match was drawn.

THIRTY YEARS' TORTURE -Air. L. F. Raine, 4. Ma-rgaret-road. Whit- ley Bay, writes:—"It u, now over 30 yoars ago that at the bridge of my nose appeared a, small red spot. I went to a doctor, but in spite of his advkie and directions. the spot began to spread. In the hospital at A'-ewoastle I underwent 204 X-ray opera- tions without any good result; indeed my face became worse. ^ev<»n times I went under chloroform, my lace being scraped, and the flesh on the nose, right down to the cartilage. After all this torture, the eores were still spreading and growing worse. t. One evening I saw a paragraph saying- Cadu.in was good for skin diseases. I bought a 6d. box. Can I tell you how pka.ed I was to tied some difference on the first day after it-,(,? When 1 had used the boxful some of the sores on my face had ceased to spread, some even actually heal- ing. Can I tell you iny surprise when, what medic-al iroii Iia-cl failed to do, what the spending oi a hundred pounds could not give me. I was getting from a 6d. box of Cadum. The progress of recovery has been remark- able." Cadum is a new medical discovery for the cure of all ekin end scalp troubles. 6d. and Is. a box. all chemists.

CARDIFF EMPIRE '5 The outstanding turn at the Cardiff Empire this week is a remarkable sketch presented by Miss Kte Carney and her compauy, entitled The Yiddisher Boy." It is a scene in Petticoat-lane, and the fun waxes fast and furious. Most of the humour is provided bv a couple of pseudo-Hebrews, but there are also a number of other good characters, including a comical dwarf, who performs prodigies of valour. Of course, Mies Carney is very much to the fore, and leads the singing of The Yiddisher Boy," a eong with a rattling chorus. Mjcs Carney sings a couple of other c-atchy songis, particularly the one entitled Good morning, Mr. Postman." Daley Cooper and Miss Mabel Lait appear in a farcical domestic comedy, A Man of Spirit." The lady's husband objects to her strong affection for the military, and decides to don uniform, in order to show her that he, too, is a man of spirit, while the lady appears in the costume of a mounted nunse. There is a lively and laughable scene between them. Mendel, the wonderful blind pianist, payg yet another visit, and, as usual, his brilliant playing amazes the audience. Alf. Eipon, the Scotch ventriloquist, introduced Macpher- son, the Komic Qeot," much to tie amuse- ment of the audience. Matthews and Reece, speciality athletes, performed some notable jumping feats, and some excellent pictures of the Cardiff Horse Show held the attention of the audience. Other good turns were Max Carl and Harry Carr, comedians, and Harry Marte, dancer and comedian.

STOLL'S PANOPTICON There was a larg; attendance at this house on Monday evening, and the programme, as usual, was full of items which commanded interest. There was a general feeling of regret that this was the iaet week of two artistes who have won universal approval in their ret-pective roles—Miss Ciaudia Thorn ley and Mr. William Kingsley, the original hand- bell soloist, who this week, by special request, piayc" a selection of Welsh molodies. "The Mended Lute," which was the title of the chief picture, 16 a romance of the Dakotas. and based 0-11 the lines of the Americ&n aboriginals. The subject as a whole was a. combination of poetical romance and drama- tic intensity, the canoe chacfes being the most picturesque and thrilling. And a subject naturalists would d&Ii?ht in wit,njng was "Tlie Storm," a rc-produd-ioo of a terrific gale raging on the poa?t of Brittany. Women's Life in Ind a." was an educative film. A remarkable item was that depicting the reoords of the world s leading aviators and their flights at RPeims. The BLaok Hand and Black Feet Terror was a clever skit on recent scares caused by the machina- tions of various secret societies, and which is loaded with fun and original situations. > A generous share of the programme was given to humour, and the pictures are best seen to be appreciated at their true value. Matinee* will be held as usual on Wednesday and Saturday.

ROLLER SKATING RINK Tlie fascination of roller slsatyng is catching on wonderfully in Cardiff, and it is nothing to see several hundred people enjoying the sport at the same time in the new American rink in Westgate-street, Cardiff.
