I" Once Wealthy."
I Once Wealthy." EX-CARDIFF PUBLICAN AND HIS WIFE Thomas Hornblow \Û), an ex-Cardiff publican, was agfain at Cardiff Police- court on Friday, charged on a warrant with neglecting to pay £ 37 5s., arrears a.nd costs due to his Lvife under a maintenance order..Mr. ;"t John Francis-Williams (in- structed by Mr. J. T. Phoenix) appeared for complainant, and Mr. Sydney Jenkins de- fended. Mr. Francis-Williamis said the maintenance order to pay £ 1 a week was made in 1905. and two years ago defendant tried to have it reduced to lg, but the learned stipendiary refused. Since then the wife had the greatest pcsble diiHcuhy in getting the money. In fact, the JE1 wa? never paid until the warrant was issued He (Mr. Williams, understood that no money had been pa.id since November. 1908. The warrant was issued for 37 weeks' arrears due up to last August, and it had been executed in London. He was going to asl, his worship to send defendant to prison. Mrs. Hornblow than gave evidence respect- ing the crder. Mr. Jenkins: Do you know that^1 is posi- tion has vsrv sadly altered since tlie crder 1 was made"—I am very sadly altered, too. Mr. Jenkins made an appeal to his wor- ship. He said that the defendant was formerly tolerably wealthy, being licensee of the Royal Oak, Three Horse Shoes, and Friendship Hotels in Cardiff. He had made several honest attempts to get work, and had tramped pretty well all over the coun- try, visiting London, Gloucester, Oxford. Cambridge, < £ o.He was now engaged with a firm of auctioneers in Oxford-street, London, at 4s. 6d. a day. They were prepared to take him back, and he was prepared to pay off the arrears at the rate of A3 a month and keep up paymeot of the order. Mr. Milner Jones: If I put back the case to the bottom of the list, do you think there is any chance of getting a considerable por- tion of the money paid? Mr. Jenkins: I shall see his relatives, a.nd impress upon them the necessity. His Worship: Unless that is done I shall send him to prison. Mr. Francis-Williams eaid Mrs. Horn blow had no desire to be vindictive, but if the order to send defendant to prison was made that would be the most effective way of mak- ing him pay. His Worship, however, put the case back, and announced that he would expect £30 to be paid off the arrears, or he would commit defendant. Subsequently Mr. Jenkins informed his worship that his efforts to persuade relatives to pay the amount for defendant had failed, and Mr. Milner-Jones then passed sentence of two months' imprisonment.

THE SKATING RINKS I
THE SKATING RINKS I Large crowds continue to patronise the Central Eolier-skating Biuk on The Hayes, Cardiff, and there is no gainsaying the fact. that, the sport has come to stay. Corpulent people find it an easy and pleasant method of reducing their avoirdupois, and athletes are now beginning to realise the value of attaining grace and precision of movement. The popularity of partners is pronounced, and the fair sex are proving themselves as fctcoomplisAi-t'd in the art as their brothers and cousins. The skating area is in perfect condition. Instructors are in attendance, and no charge is made for the use of the floor if persons use their own skates. A military band supplies music. The attendances at the American Roller B-ink, in Westgate-street, Cardiff, continue excellent. The management announce that their first Masquerade Carnival will take place on Thursday evening. November 18. Any character befitting in design or deta.il will be giadly welcomed and pro- vided with ample facilities for its most effective display. The hour for the removal of masks will be ten o'clock. The mange- I ment offer six valuable prizes for costumes.

NAVY LEAGUE DISPUTE. I
NAVY LEAGUE DISPUTE. ALLEGATIONS OF C'G ROSS BREACH I' OF FAITH." Before Mr. Justice Joyce in the Chancery] Division on Friday Colonel Henry Roscoe Beddoe moved to restrain the Navy League from holding a meeting next Thursday, and alleged breach -P of a consent- order made during the LorfE Vacation. Mr. Hughes 'for Colonel Beddoe) said there was a serious question between two parties ia the league, and there was to be a meeting to decide it. There had been a. meeting betwn the rival executives, a'? meetin-7 bet wl ??ided by eight votes to Bve to hold the league meeting next May. In defiance of this the defendants had called a meeting for the 2Sth. Air. Beddall, for the defendants, said t'he agreement was to hold a meeting at the earliest possible moment, and defendants regarded this motion simply as a dirty I trick not to carry out the arrangement. j' His lordship thought it a gre-a,t pity such language should be used nnless defendants want.ed to wreck the whole thing. Mr. Beddali said there had been a gross breach of faith. Lord Elcbo and other mem- bers of the Committee resigning in conse- quence. Eventually the matter was adjourned to Tuesday. ——

LOVE IN THE COURTS. The course of true love, as it in a little Yorkshire village called Golcar, was referred to at the Salford polic ecourt yester- day. John William Dyson applied for the temporary transfer of the license of the Bricklayers' Arms, Orsdall-lane. The applica- tion vas opposed, as two police officers from Huddersfield said that the applicant's wife was the licensee of a house in Golcar which had been badly managed. In cross-examina- tion, tiie officers said that at one time Mrs. Disou was a widow. and Dyson was the successful suitor for her hand. "There was much ill-feeling," said one, "because she aid not marry the man people wanted her to." The Bench refused the transfer.

The Riffs are proliting by the bad weather to harass the Spanish forces, and all attacks by the 'Moors are repuiied at the cost of considerable losses.—Central News.

MR. JUSTICE GRANTHAM I
MR. JUSTICE GRANTHAM Mr. Justice Grantham was educated at King's College School, and was called to the Bar in 1863 and has been a judge since 1886. He once gave an amusing explanation of how he oa-m-e to sit on the bench—to be taken with a grain of ealt. It was due, Sir William declared, to his love of horseflesh. He had studied law under an eminent judge, who subsequently remarked that, whatever he might or might not know about law, he knew a great deal about horses. This news reaehed the late Queen, but in a distorted form; bis name was noted, and when next a judge was required Bir William was selected. tiir William is particularly fond of country life, and in his day has been a splendid athlete. Only two seasons ago he made top score for his side in a cricket match.

At length the nimal, when pulled out on to the road, dropped. It was immediately urged to its feet, hut was quite unable to stand, and in a few minutes expired. Mr. E. J.

I Talks with Departed
I Talks with Departed DESCRIPTION OF LIFE AFTER DEATH Mr. W T. Stead gave som eaccount of "Julia's Bureau" to a crowded and sympath- etic audiencs at the Eustace Miles Restaurant last night. Julia, as many people will know, was a, young Maine journalist whom Mr. Stead met in America, a.nd who died shortly afterwards. That was some seventeen years ago. A year later Mr. Stead bega.11 automati- call_- writing messages from her, and they have corresponded ever since. The work has become so heavy that Mr. Stead has had to employ a fellow-amanuensis. It was she who put forward the idea of a Bureau, quite a long time ago, but Mr. Stead had, he said, neither the time nor the means to establish it until tnis year. The person who desires to communicite with a loved one "beyond," after giving proper credentials, is sent round to thr3 mediums, accompanied y a. stenographer. It would have been wonderful, said Mr. Stead, considering all the difficulties, if one-tenth of the attempts had been success- ful. About 203 cases had been submitted to Julia, and he should say that at least half of those werre quite satisfied that they had been placed in communication with their beloved dead. If only one case had been successful he would rather have achiefcd that than have discoered both the North and South Poles. Mr. Stead gave some interesting particu- lars of life after death, gleaned from his talks with Julia. The first feeling after death, we learn, is surprise that you are dead, because you feel perfectly, well, and have all your faculties about you. Exaspera- tion follows because you are not, able to make your presence felt; you cannot, unless you make such preparation^ as Mr. Stead suggests, communicate with anybody on earth. But. according to Julia, the over- 1 whelming f-.ajority of countless millions of disembodied spirits on the other side have as little desire to communicate with peopie on earth as an emigrant to America has when years have passed and ties have been broken. I Waiting for a Chost I The appearance of the ghost of the late Professor Lombroso is being looked forward to with extraordinary interest by Italian spiritualists. Before his death the professor announced that after his demise he would place himself in communication with the Milan Society for Psychical Research, of which he was a member. lIe declared that he would make 'use of the professional medium, Eusapia Palladino, who was for- merly a nursemaid, and with whose aid he had conducted many experiments since 1895. Accordingly, the world of spiritualists is on the tip-toe of expectation, and a message from the unseen is eagerly awaited.
I I RACING OR SPECTACLES ?

A heated discussion took place at North- wioh yesterday regarding the board of guar- dians' liability to supply spectacles to appli- cants whose children were reported by the school doctors for defective vision.

It was resolved to treat each separately. Two parents were refused as being able to pay, and others were granted the spectacles as a loan.

A CHANCE FOR CHARTY I
A CHANCE FOR CHARTY A genuine case of poverty came before the Cardiff magistrates to-day, when William Underwood (22) waib charged on remand wl&li attempting to oomimit suicide. Police- constable Henry Parsons stated that he canght the man as he was in the act of jumping over the Hayes Bridge into the canal. It was the old, old story.

< NOT DEAD BUT WELLI
< NOT DEAD BUT WELL I A very painful experience has befallen a lady and gentleman in Coventry as a result of what is supposed to have been an unfor- funate telegraphic mistake. Both take en interest in public affairs, and when they were together on the platform at a meeting, a telegram was handed them stating that their daughter had died in an institution near Torquay. The cause of their hurried depart- ure was explained to the meeting, and sympathy was expressed. The telegram was repeated to other relatives in different parts of the country, and the distressed mother and father took the next train to lorquay, where they found on arrival that the'r daughter was not dead, but better. Upon their return to Coventry they found a letter of condolence from a public boor, and many other sympathetic messages, together with ir,timations from relatives that they were arriving.
INVENTOR OF GUILLOTINE I
INVENTOR OF GUILLOTINE One of the injustices of. history—the attri- buting of the invention of the guillotine to the man whose name it bears—is exposed in a letter from Dr. Watkin Jones, of Worthing, to the "Lancet." Dr. Ignace Joseph Guillotin, he points out, was a worthy and huma.ne man who merely suggested to the Socialist revolu- tionaries that the only method of executing the victims should be decapitation. "Having niade the proposal," says Dr. Jones, "he quitted public life for ever and devoted him- yelf to the exercise of his profession." The man who invented the particular method of decapitation which was adopted, was an ex- army surgeon. Dr. Antoine Louis, and his invention for for some time known as "La Louisette." But so majiy French people bore the name of IlOuis or Louise, and took offence at having the mechanical headsman rained after them, that the Government had to change the name, and so decided on the title which the machine now bears.

Captain Lovelace, who has for. soma days past been practising on Mr. Eallin "Hindi's Bleriot, was this morning rendered "ho.rs de combat. He was making a very good flight at an early h-ouir, no one being about, when something went wrong with his mono- plane, whicia came heavily to e.a.rth, the machine falling on the front part cf the plane. The chassis was smashed up, making it quite incapable of flying. The captain fell 8ft. to 10ft., but, fortunately, he is unhurt. The monoplane was taken back home, aftci which the broken parts were removed and sent to Coventry for repairs. Captain Love- lace hopes it will be ready for use again on Monday. According to the statement of an eye -wit- ne-,s-,t labourer-Captain Lovelace had a very fortunate escape. It was lucky for him that when the mishap occurred his altitude was not higher, otherwise thu iii,-)alt with ths; earth would have had very seriuiis efiects.. At lialf-past ten the wind blew across the town at the rate of nineteen miles an hour. Everyone here is talking of Lathams flight at Blackpool, but at present most of our sheds are closed, and the aviators do not seem disposed to try and emulat-e their daring confrere. "Look what latham has done," remarked someone to an official of the aeroplane h('r t ?,, a?. Cannot we make a show?" "It was a most venturesome and during- flight," he replied. "It is all very well if it oomes off all right. Then the man who does it is a splendid fellow. But if he breaks his I]-cl- and it is a wonder Latham did not—then everyone says. 'Why was he such an infernal fool ¡" Air. Cody takes the view that the weather will have moderated by ncoa. Questioned to what course he will take in reply to the challenge from M. Sommer, Mr. Cody says he does not know whether he will accept it or not. He wants, first, to have a fly or two to see how his engine will work. After that he does not know what may happen. The judges, spurred on by the achievement elsewhere, are urging the aviators to do some- thing One of them asked Cody if he would ascend. "Not just y-.t, Judge," he replied; "look at the weather."

I THE BLACKPOOL MEETING I
I THE BLACKPOOL MEETING Though no official notification whether the Blackpool aviation meeting will be extended has yet been made, it is fully generally assumed that flying will he seen on the Blackpool aviation ground on Monday and Tuesday. All depends on Latham. If he can be released from an engagement in Paris the contests will be proceeded with. It is felt that without the popular hero things might end in something akin to fizzle. Natur- ally, the committee are anxious that the suc- cess already aoh.ieved should be maintained. Farman, Paulhan, and Hougier leave Eng- land to-morrow, and without them or Latham the burden would he thrown upon the British competitors. As they have not done a single thing during the week worth recording, it is felt that their powers of drawing a "gate" would be extremely meagre.

Henry Hennessey (471, who appeared to be stone deaf, 'was charged .with begging in Mackintosh-piaoe. Court-inspector Bingham said the prisoner had been before the court 31 times, and they did not know what to do with him. The Stipendiary had asked them not to bring him up again, but his conduct to those who refused him alms was so bad that they had to lock him up. The Chairman (to Inspector Bingham): You know the history of this man. He comes here unable to plead, and he professes that he can't hear— Prisoner: No work in the dry dock. (Laughter.) Mr. Thomas (continuing): He is a great plague, a trial to the police, and a menace to the public. I am going to ask you to communicate with the Home Office, or the Poor Law authorities to get him put away. Superintendent Hayward: If your worships 'will make an order to get him sent. to the workhouse I will get him taken there, but I den't know whether he will stay. Inspector Bingnam: He has been tested at the University, and there is no doubt that he is unable to hear. Someone fired a pistol near his ear to test him, but the trick failed. Mr. B. Thomas: Supposing a. man lute that committer murder! I Mr. iMunn: I thought Inspector Bingham said he was tested a tthe University for his education. Mr. E. Thomas: Let him go. (Laughter.)

: A WONDERFUL BEAST_____I
A WONDERFUL BEAST I His Honour Judge EoUfcrts, sitting at the Bar net County-court yesterday, heard a story of a wonderful cat. 'Mr. Wilton, a gardener, claimed £10 from Mr. Hancock, who had shot the cat and killed it. Wilton, who was awarded 10s. and costs, told the court that it was a most exceptional cat, which always came home at night; it always brought home what it killed, sueh as mice, rats, and moles, just to show how clever it was. It was stated for the defendant that he shot the animal when it was chasing rabbits. It would have caused its owner a lot of trouble had it lived. And you think it has been saved a life of crime?" asked the judge, amid laughter.

1st HUSBAND DEAD?
1st HUSBAND DEAD? I REMARKABLE CARDIFF CASE 1 Wife Gives Sensational Evidence I Mrs. Crowley, of 39, Chancery-lane, River- side, summoned her husband, John Crowley, for alleged desertion before Mr. Milner-Jones at Cardiff Police-court on Friday. Mr. Harold represented the wife, and Mr. Sydney Jenkins defended. Mr. Lloyd said he did not think he would have the slightest difficulty in proving desertion, but there was another point which had just been brought to his notice. Mrs. Crowley was first married about 23 years ago at a registry oSce in Tre-èar. The defendant Crowley at that time was a swe2theart of Mrs. Crowley, and k:ww her 'or some time before. She lived with her first husband for 14 years, and had five children. They lived happily, too, until Crowiey came upon the scene. She succumbed to Crowley's blandishments, and eloped with him. They went, to Newport and lived there for two years. The first husband, however, found her out, for- gave her, and got her to go back to him, but Crowley was not satisfied, and he again sought her out and enticed her away. Now, whilst she was living with Crowley for three years, the first husband was working at Liinbradaeli colliery, and there was an explosion there. He (Mr. Lloyd) held thet the first husband was killed there, and nothing had been heard of him since, but the defence was that t.he first huscand was in existence when Crowiey married Mrs. Crawley, but that was not true. They had made inquiries, and the de- fendant had made inquiries, whilst letters sent had come back. He (Mr. Lloyd) raised the question because they were told tha.t the first husband wes scili alive, and had been seen by the defendant. If his friend (Mr. Jenkins) could prove that, all well and good, but, if not, he hoped be would for ever hoki his peace. Mr. Jenkins sa,id he failed to see why he must" for ever bold his peace." Surely, he was entitled to bring prooi at any other time Mr. Lloyd held that the time to do so was now. Mr. Milner Jorcs, however, said that coul-d be decided again. Mrs. Crowley then gave evidence. She stated that she now 1 esided at 39, Chancery- lane, and that she had had three children by Crowley, Itut all were dead. She and Crowley resided in Harvey-street until the desert-ion, and it was all due to the fact of his relations with his step-daughter, Isabella, who was no blood relation, and who was aged 29. Witness objected to it, but Crowley said if she did not like it she could clear out. Crowley was a coal-trimmer, and when the explosion occurred she was living with him in Cardiff. Crowley told her that her hus- band was killed, and she was not sorry, be- cause of the fact that she was living with Crowley. Mr. Jenkins: I see you are described on the certific-ait-e of your second marriage as a spinster?—I didn't say it. You were narried at Tredegar on April 26, 1904?- Yes. Did you say your name was Mary O'Brien? —Yes. • His Worship advised witness not to answer questions which were likely to incriminate her Mrs. Crowley added defendant threw a, lamp and an alarm clock at her, whilst he also thre.atencd to throw her downstairs. Caroline Dowling, a step-daughter, and Jennie John, Mrs. Crowley's daughter, said the defendant told hia wife to clear out. The defendant denied desertion, and de- clared that Mrs. Crowley's husband was still alive. An order of 10s. a. week and costs was made, and Mr. Lloyd withdrew the imputa- tions against the daughter Isabella.
Could Drink .-4 Gallons-I
Could Drink 4 Gallons ADMISSION OF A NEWPORT MARINER I I Thomas Jones, a Channel pilot, of Newport, and William Edwards, his nephew, were charged at Barry Police-court on Friday with ¡ assaulting Walter Thayer, a mariner, of Newport. Mr. Cooper (Messrs. Moore and Cooper, solicitors, Newport) defended. Complainant said he was engaged on Jones's cutter at Barry, but he had received notice to leave. On the 8th inst. witness went on Locaid and learned that Edwards had come from Newport to take his place. When asked by Edwards why he was leaving the boat, wit- ness replied, Your uncle is about the djrtiest man I have ever met." Edwards resented this, and struck7 witness in the eye. Jones also jumped out of his berth, caught complainant by the throat, knocked his head against a locker, and told Edwards to hit the thing. Witness told Edwards he had had enough, and, after bathing his eye. sought shelter for the night on another cutter. Cross-examined, complainant admitted going ashore without leave. Mr. Cooper: And you had some drink. How much?—I think I had four. Four what-gallons?-No. glasses. I could drink four gallons, though. (Laughter.) You described Captain Jones as the dirtiest man you knew?—So he is. Mr. Cooper having described the prosecu- tion as a most impudent one, called the defendant Edwards*, who said he believed complainant was angry because witness had got his place. He threatened to wipe Barry Island with witness. An apprentice named Arthur Buck and the defendant Jones having given evidence, the Benoh d,ismiss.ed the case.

In the Rermondsey division on Friday electioneering enthusiasts of all sorts were taking a rest to recover from the strain of the last few days. Nominations take place to-day. Mr. Dumphreys has received a letter from Sir Edward Clarke, who says: "I send you my hearty-gcx)d wishes for your success on Thursday next. We were fellow-workers thirty years ago, and you did splendid ser- vice in the contest, which is not yet forgotten. We were fighting then, as you are now, for the unity of the Empire and the religious education of the people, for sound, social reforms, for efficiency and economical admin- istration, for fair taxes and fair trade." Dr. Salter's agent stated on Friday that there was absolutely no truth in the state- ment that Dr. Salter intended retiring in favour of Mr. Hughes, the Liberal-candidate, A large number, of meetings were held on Friday night. The speakers for Mr. Dumphreys included Lord Morpeth and Sir John Randies, while Mr. Hughes also had the assistance of several members of Parlia-ment. There was considerable disturbance at an open-air anti-Socialist meeting, the speaker being addressed as "Traitor," "Judas," and in other similar terms- The meeting was eventually broken up.

[Missing Merthyr Man I CAP AND COAT FOUND NEAR POND I Police-constable Stephens, of the Merthyr Borough Police, early on Friday morning found a man's overcoat, cap, and walking- stick on the bank of Moody's Pond at Pen- rheolgerrig. In one of the pockets of the coat was a letter in an envelope inscribed "Mr. John Pittaway, 30, Steward (Stuart>street, Brecon-road. Merthyr." Inquiries revealed the fact that a man of that name. living with a nephew—Mr. Joseph Bow-had been missing from home since the previous night. The pond was dragged until darkness set in, but without result. Pittaway had been employed at Cwmbar- gced Pit as a repairer, but of late he had not been in good health, and since Christmas last he had done no work. The pond will be dragged again to-day (Saturday).

liATEPAYEKS' HEAVY' LOSHI MUNICIPAL REFORM CAMPAIGN I AT SWANSEA. Councillor Cadwalladr had a rousing meeV illg at the Parochial Schools, where he was supported by Mr. David Grey (an old pupil of his, who paid him a warm tribute), Coun- cillors Thompson and David Davies, and others. The candidate opposed the Socialistic ideas of some of the council. What specially aggrieved him (Mr. Cadwalladr) wa-s the treatment of the children, who had been working under the greatest disadvantages, and now that the new Oxford-street Schools were ready they vt, kept by the local education authority without furniture. As far as he could fathom the mystery, that was due to the mayor and Councillor Colwili, who hul been engineering—yes, that was the word-,laughter and "Hear, hear")—to put in the old, worn-out, and obsolete furniture -Now, he called that cruelty. (Hear, hear.) It had been put about the ward that he was against Trades Unionism. That was the funniest thing of all. Proceeding to nail that lie down with a sledge hammer," he pointed out that for 32 years he was con- nected with the National Union of Teachers, was the first secretary for Swansea, and twelve years a-go was the chairman o< the charities committee that raised £1,180 in Swansea. Councillor David Davies criticised the finan- cial management of the town by the old coterie. They had delayed issuing stock at the proper time, and had now made an arrangement with the bank to borrow £ 600.000 for six months at an interest vary- ing with the Bank rate. What was the result? Instead of paying 3i percent., they had to-day to pay 5 per ce,nt. interest on that £ 600,000. That one example of lack of foresight would probably cost the town some thousands of pounds.

• MAGISTRATE'S OPINION. Before Mr. Paul Taylor at Marylebone Court was a woman who had been con- victed of being drunk five times since Febru- ary last. "Some people would say," said the magistrate, that you are the sort of woman who ought to be sent to an inebriate* home for three years, but that is not my opinion. My experience is that people who go tc these homes for three years come out as great drunkards as when they go in."
