Wild Scenes at Theatre SUFFRAGETTES AND tIR. LLOYD CEORCE Mr. Lloyd George, who attended a per- formance of The Mountaineers" at the Savoy Theatre on Thursday night, and occupied a box, was made the subject of two hostile demonstrations by suffragettes. The first came from the circle, where four members of the Women's Social and Political Union occupied seats. Ono of them rose and displayed a banner bearing a reference to stomiach-pumps, and the other addressed suoh remarks to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as How can you sit there and applaud a farce when you won't give votes to women?" "Taxation without repre- sentation," Ac. Thera wa-s much disorder. Ultimatelr, after gome show of resistance, the interrupters were escorted outside the theatre. One of them bit tha manager's hand when it was placed over her mouth. Later m the performance two women seated. in the stalls rose, called "Votes for women," and looking towa-rds the Minister shouted, You a:'e acting like a tyrant." Assisted' by the theatre staff, they also left. Subsequently Mr. Lloyd George had to bow in response to a demonstration in his favour.

Disaster in West Indies I CREAT DAMAGE CAUSED BY WINDSTORM Fears that a great disaster has occurred in Jama-iea and in the W-est Indian Islands generally were prevalent on Thursday after- noon. It is known that a hurrica-ne-a. windstorm it is called in one report—has swept over Jamaica, and that much damage has been done by floods. But it does not account for the fact that cable communication has been interrupted. A very strong earthquake is recorded as (having occurred some thousands of milea distant from Europe. Jamaioa is about 4,000 miles dista,ut from England. GREAT FLOODS. AND LANDSLIDES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. NEW YORK, Thursday. There is still a Iwk of news in regard to the hurricane reported from Kingston, Jamaica, but as far as can be ascertained through indirect channels, extensive floods have occurred, accompanied by landslides, all over the island. Great damage has been wrought in the towns, and crops have been everywhere destroyed. There are also reports of an earthquake iii Jamaica, but this has not been con- firmed, and is founded on the fact that. cable oommunication with Kingston is in- terrupted. There were a score of yaohte in Kingston Harbour when communications were first Interrupted, and there is great fear for tneir safety. Among them is the Noiirmahal, with Jfr. J. J. Afitor and his son a.boe.rd.-Central News. TELEGRAPH LAND LINES WASHED AWAY. Renter's Agency states that cable communi- cation with Jamaica has been completely interrupted since Wednesday. The West Indies and Panama Telegraph Company have received news from Santiago do Cuba that their land lines in Jamaica were washed away late on Saturday night by e. flood, and, the rivers being impassable, it was found impossible to ca.rry out repairs. The t,wo cables between Puerto Rico and Jamaica stopped working on November 10. The cable connecting St. Lucia and Kayti was interrupted on November 8. The land line between Port Plata and San Domingo is down, and the cable between Cuba and Hayti has ceased working. C:,bJe traffic is being forwa.rded by steamer from Turks Island to Kingston. The Direct West India Cable Company state that no trustworrthy information has been received from Jamaica as to the stoppage of communication. Up to the present they are advised that the Hope River is in flood. They are thus cut of? from their cable house, and the Panama Company are out off from Kingston, and the land lines are down. There is no bridge over the Hope River. As Kingston is a much frequented shipping port, it is believed that if any widespread deetruction through storm or otherwise had been caused in Jamaica, some ship would have put in at Santiago de Cuba to report. NEW YORK, Thursday. Meagre reports received from Jamaica, via Oolon, yesterday state that much damage had been done by a windstorm at Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and other Western Islands. Communication has been cut off between Colon and Jamaica, and Kingston is unable to oormmunioat.e with the intc-rior.-Reu,te-r. GREAT EARTHQUAKE SOME- I WHERE. Mr. J. J. Ihtw, of Hilltop, Birmingham, reports that a vast earthquake began to be recorded there on Wednesday morning at 6 ?6. Forty-seven minutes later the largest waves pas-sed beneath us, having travelled Buch a distance as would place the disturb- ance either in the Ea»si Indies or the Pacific Ocean. If this conjecture as to the loca- tion of the shocks is correct, probably little harm will have resulted. NO CAUSE FOR, ALARM. Mr. Aspinall, secretary of the West India Committee, interviewed in London, said there was not the slightest cause for alarm. The committee had received information that there had been floods consequent upon the north-east winds and hig-h seas, and the land lines had been temporarily disabled, but his Majesty's ship Scylla was stationed At Kingston, and was ready for the work of Impair. As a matter of fact, said Mr. Aspi- jfcall, communication will, no doubt, have been restored before to-day (Friday).

FRED WELSH AT CARDIFF I Fred Welsh drove down to the Cardiff Docks on Thursday in a motor-car, accompanied, lttIDongat otherll, by "Boyo" Driscoll.

Censorship Report I COURTS TO TRY IMPROPER PLAYS I The report of the Censorship Committee was issued last evening, and the following conclusions are arrived at: — Tha-t the public interest requires that the- atrical performances should be regulated by special laws. Tha-t the public interest requires that access, prior to their production, to a public authority which should be empowered to license plays as suitable for performance. If, however, the law is to allow the performance of unlicensed plays, it must take effective measures to safeguard the community against the evils that might ansue. That the public authority should be em- powered, by a summary process, to suspend the performance of unlicensed plays which appear to be of an improper character, and that, where it is confirmed that they are of such a character, the producers should be liable to penalties That the authority to decide on the pro- priety of the future performance of an un- licensed play which be the courts of law in cases where indec-ency is alleged, and in other causes, a mixed commiittce of the Privy Council. The committee reqjpiniands that the office of exam-iner of plays should be continued, and considers that the Lord. CbJamberlajn would be well advised to proceed with tiie formation of a consultative committee, such as he was about to constitute when this in- quiry was begun. The committee also expresses the opinion that a somewhat stricter guard than hither- to might be exercised against the indecen- cies thait sometimes tend to appear in playa of a frivolous type. With regard to the right of music-^ialle to produce sketches," the committee recom- mend the a-bolition of the psresentt legal dif- ferentiation between the theatre and the music-hall, allowing each to present what- ever form of eniteriaininent it desires.

MOB LAW IN ILLINOIS I New York, Friday.—-Will James, a negro, who was accused of violating and muii'dier- wig a shop girl, was lynched by the mob at Ga TO, Illinois, yesterday. An atwmpt was &rst ?d-e to bang the man, but th? rc?c broke. His bcdy was then riddled with bullets and too was after ?afrd? dragged a distance of a mile and thrown into a fire wlie.ra it was burned to a cinder. A report having bean circulated that Jamiea feid confessed to the crime and admitted he had had an accomplice of the name of Alexander, the ini-iarlated townspeople set out far the gaol to seize t-h-e man, but be'ng unable to find him tliey started to batter dwm a steel oa,ge in wtoich a white photo- grapher, na,med Henry Satznor, oharged with murdering his wife with all axe, was confined for an hour. The nicib tore and hammered at the cage, Satzner meanwhile pleadiing piteousily for mercy and protesting "his innocence. Alt Last, the stout bars gave w.ay, the prisoner was dragged to one c.f the main streets, and hanged on to a tele- graph pale. A vcaiey was then poured into his body. At the time of telegraphing the mob, composed of ten thousand persons, in- cluding numerous women who helped in the attempt t olhang the negro, vOs scouring the town for Alexander. The governor has ordered eleven corn.panr.eis of Millitia to pro- cee dto Cairo to restore order. The local sheriff kept James hidden in the woods for two (lays in, the hope of saving him from from the vetngeaiiiice of the townispeioip'le. j Renter.

ROBBERS ATTACK A TRAIN I Paris, Friday.—Attacks upon railways in Southern France continue. According to a Toulon telegram, published by the Echo De Paris" for the third time, robbers last night attacked a goods train at Cassis, ne:3,r Mar- seilles. Profiting by the fact that the line follows the coa-st and that at a certa,in point tJia train slows down, the robbers quickly climbed upon a waggon and threw the packages contained upon the permanent way. The railway guard and policeman, however, surprised them, and a fight took place, revoler shots baing exchanged from waggon to waggon, whilst the train was in motion, each party hiding behind packages. Finally the thieves fled under cover of night, leaving one of their number dead, and another seriously wounded.—Central News.

"WALES IS OUR HOME." I Mr. Richard Da vies, J.P., presided over the sixth grand annual concert of St. Mary's Welsh Ohurch, Camberweil, held in the small Queen's-ihall, Langha:n-place, on Thursday night, being supported on the platform by the vicar (the Rev. Lewis Roderick). An excellent programme included songs and recitations by Madame Amy Atkins, Miss Lilian Rickard, MTS. G-wilym Richards, David Evans, Robert Wilkin, F. C. Ashdown. and WaJter G. Woodcock, and Madrfme Beatrice Porrin, acoompanast. The Welsh songs received exceptionally hearty marks of appreciation The Chairman, who takes a prominent interest in the London Welsh Unionist'Asso- ciation, the Welsih Club, and other Welsh movements in London, in a brief address said"I suppose we Welshmen have some faults, buft Welshwomen, of course,^ have none. But 'if we have faults we e?- all, thank God enthusiastic for our fait'h-1 -(ohooT,s)-amd are lovers of music. I cannot conceive of better way of spending an evening together. It is a matter of deepest regret to me that I cannot talk OUT tongue. I know I could get much closer to your hearts if I could "peak my native tongue. I have lived in London for over thirty years, but I always feel I am among strangers. You smile, but what I fool is that Lotndon is not our home. Wales is our home." (Apiplause.)

A TIRESOME TOPIC At a meeting of the Carmarthenshire Edu- cation Oommittee on Thursday the sub-com- mittee appointed to m?ke arrangements f/>r the provision of school ao?mmod.t: r the children excluded from the Ll !iy urban schools reported that they had visited the district and viewed several sites on the Stradey Estate for the erection of a new school near Furnace, but had not yet been able to agree on a definite spot. The Rev. T. Johns, Ca pel A Is, asked how long it would be before the new school was ready. The Chairman (Mr. John Lloyd, Penybank): Ae soon as possible. The Rev. T. Johns: But the children are on the stroot The Chairman: Then tihe parents ought to be downright ashamed of themselves. Mr. John Johns (Paroeithyn): They have obeyed their false friends. The Rev. T. Johns: I a-m going to move at the next meeting of the LJanelly Education Committee that the Old-road School be re-opened for the border children until this school is ready. The Chairman: Our schools are open for them if they wish to avail themselves of them. Mr. W. N. Jones: I am glad Llanelly is showing the white feather. (Laughter.) The Rev. T. Johns: This school will be two years before it is ready. The Chairman: No, no. We shall make temporary arrangements. We are all right. The Rev. Professor Jones (Carmarthen): We shall have a tin school. (Laughter.) The Rev. T. Johns said that unless the chil- dren of Nonconformists went to a Church school they had no accommodation, and he objected to that. The Chairman We have proved to the satis- faction of the Board of Education that we have room, so what is the good of talking nonsense ? The Rev. T. Johns: It is only a, technical point. The Chairman: No, no. And there is am end of it.

Red Widow's" Triali EVIDENCE OF A FORMER LOVER I The Stemheil case to-day entered on its final stage, evidence being closed, a.nd the address of the Public Prosecutor begun. Not one of the witnesses called for the defence had the most remote knowledge of the circumstances attending the crime. They bore testimony to the prisoner's love for he- htoband and mother, and they expressed the conviction that she was incapable of the crime with which she is charged. One intimate friend od the family, when asked how he reconciled Ma-dame 5teinthcil> love for her husband with her infidelity t-y him, oouid only reply that that was a psychological problem. She always treated him as a great baby. The witness whose appearance at the bar affected accused most was an artillery cap- tain, who, more than a score of years ago, when she was only eighteen, was on the point, of becoming engaged to her, but had never seen her since. He could only tell the court that she was at that time a charming girl, a.nd that he believed it impossible tha.t she should become a murderess. This strangely romantic evidence, relating merely to an epis-cde in prisoner's girlhood, seemed to touch her deeply. She gazed at witness intently all the time, with who knows what thoughts of what might have been, and when, having finished his brief deposition, ha said, "May I go now?" her eyes followed him with undisguised emotion all the way down the middle passage of the long court room. The Public Prosecutor's address to the jury was not finished when the court rose, and Maitre Antony Aubin's speech for tile defence, which will commence to-morrow, is expoeted to occupy at least five hours, going over to Saturday, so that the verdict is not likely to be delivered before Saturday evening.— Beater. 4 Public Prosecutor's Strong Indictment ] Maitre Trouard Riolle, Public Prosecutor, after pointing out how the murder had stirred public opinion, begged the jurors to ignore all outside influences, and to base their verdict on calm reflection. The accused, he said, had received a careful education, but both as a girl and a young woman she had acted the comedy part to secure forgiveness for her untruths. She had a number of intrigues, and then married the painter Stein- heil out of pity. The Public Prosecutor referred to Aunt Lily, and proved from let ten; that had been found that M. St-einheiil wae aware of his wife's conduct. There were fre- quent outbursts in the letters. In one of them accused had written to her husband, You have dug an abys.s between us." Turn- ing to the accused, the Public Prosecutor said impressively: "If your husband dug an abyss, his wife dug a grave." The hatred between husband and wife, he continued, was so great that when M. Bor- derel heard of the crime he exclaimed, I wonder if ehe had anything t-o do with it." The story of the infusions of poppies to which M. Steinheil is alleged to have been addicted was, declared the Public Prosecutor, a lie coined by the accused to get people accus- tomed to the idea her husband might be found dead. At the end of 1907. after her rupture with her former love", i-t. Ghcuanard. the Fteiuheil menage was, on prisoner's own confession, in financial diffi- culties. The accused was ready for the worst resolutions. She then met with M. Borderel. Understanding that he would not be satisfied with a divorce, she began to think of other methods. As mistress or as wife, she marched to the conquest of M. Borderel, in whom she saw salvation from the threatened ruin of her fortunes. (Sen- sation.) « The crime of parricide, continued the Public Prosecutor, causes me much uneasi- ness, for it does not appear to me to have been sufficiently established, but I am abso- lutely convinced Madame Steinhoil killed her husband, and that sTie wa.s assisted by an accomplice. Madame Japy appears to have been killed only because the awoke, and became an embarrassing witness. At this point tfee Public Prosecutor ÇQIIl- plained of fatigue, and asked the leave of the court to postpone the conclusion of his speech until to-morrow. The court thereupon -adiourned.-IReutor Probable Reforms i the Judicial System I Despite the official denial, which is easily I expla-ined and understood, there is good reason for stating that certain responsible members of the Government have been so impressed by the criticisms of the foreign, especially British and American, press on the French judicial system, as exemplified in the Steinheil trial, that drastic reforms are to be proposed at the earliest convenient date in order to bring the French methods of administering justice more into harmony with modern ideas. The release of the presiding judge from tho invidious duty of acting to a4l intents and purposes as counsel for t'he prosecution ia a special feature of the reforms.. Tihe present moment, however, is not regarded as opportune for announcing OT discussing such reforms, since it might look like a rofle-etion on the president of the assize count now trying Madame Stoinhedl, while he is, of course, only conforming to a, long-established practice. -Reuter.

SCENES AT A FUNERAL I Painful scenes were witnessed yesterday at the funeral of Constable Gallagher, who committed suicide when wanted on a charge of drowning his wife at Enmiscrene, County Sligo. The interment was carried out under great difficulties, practically all the car owners having refused to hire out their vehicles for the occasion, and knots of people on the hillsides indulged in vigorous booing as the little procession made its way towards the place of interment. At one point a woman made a rush at the coffin and threw mud at it, but was seized by a brother of the deceased, whereupon a number of men ran towards the oortege, the police initeT- vening apparantly just m time to prevent a serious melee. The streets of Ballina. were patrolled by police during the passing of the ooflin, a.nd when the village where the drowned woman formerly lived was reached a special force of police met the party. It was quite dark when the body was laid im the grave. No priest was present.

A PITCHED BATTLE Paris, Friday.—A Madrid telegram to the iourl"llm 11 reports a. serious affray at Chinwel, in the province of Ahneria, ing out of a di-spute between the retiring town-clerk and his successor. The inhatbi- frarets took sides and divided themselves into two ih-osfcile camps, Conservative and Liberal, a pitched battle taiki-ng place on the I. public square, in which atoodt 100 shots were fired before the intervention of the civil guard terminated the conflict. By that time one man had been killed and 31 wounded, ten of the latter seriously. Numerous arreetshave been made.—Central News.

RHYMEY COUNCIL SEATS A oomnty oonmrfl inquiry was held at the Rhymney Council Offices on Thnxsctay respecting am application by the local urban authority that the district of Abertyssww should be made a separate ward, and that the number of nmbers upon the council should' be increased from eleven to thirteen: and, farther, that the new district should be represented by three members, by th removal of 0. of the four now sitting for the existing Lower Rbyinney Ward, and the addition of the proposed two new members.

The defence set up was that the contraot was for one year only, and his Honour Judge Bishop gave a verdict for the defendant.

MR. LLOYD GEORGE AND I CARNARVON I Rendered anxious by the persistent rumours of the impending demrture of Mr. Lloyd George to Caidiff, the c)amarvon Bonxitrhs Libera,1 Association executive held a special meeting at Oajrnarvan on Thursday to con- sider the whole situation. UnfortunEutely, there was no official or direct communica- "ion of a.ny kind from Mr. Lloyd George, beyond the telogratn published last week that he would do nothinc finaJ. without consult- ing his association. The 'meeting folt that there was no ne-2Id for him to consult them, inasmuch p.9 their feelings towards their tnemo-er were sufiiciomtly well Irnown. Thoae who had stuck to him a.nd fought far him in tlier days when he was unpopular ooaild not desare to part with him now when he had attuned celebrity and unusual political influence. Finally, a resolution was unanimously adopted expressing continued confidence in and increased attachment to Mr. Lloyd George, coupled with the oonfki-enit hope that. would allow ro influence to induce him to sever his connection with the OarnaarMi Boroughs. It WB-a understood that at the LiberaJ iioadquarters in London some anxiety was foit as to the future representation of Oar- diff, which accounted ior the official desire to secure the Chancellor as candidate. Mrs. Lloyd George will shortly address her husband's constituents at Carnarvon. Carnarvon or Cardiff ? I Oorarrentiiig upon the situatiotj, the Ban- gor correspondent of the Liverpool Poet and Mercury" ceys:- There has been a strong belief that unlaes Mr. Lloyd George were to go to Cardiff the seat would be lost to the Liberals, a.nd that probably the Labour party would gain it. though possibly the Tory candidate might siip in. Later information suggests that Oar- diff would oertainly be won by the Tories and not by the Labour party if Mr. Lloyd George oca not stand as the Liberal candidate. Assuming the correctness of this information, what is the peneral position? The opinion ha* expressed that if Mr. Lloyd George goes to Cardiff the Liberals will lose the Caraar- ■ron peat, but is that certain? The Carnarvon Boroughs was, by a email majority, a Liberal oonetituency.befotpe Mr. George came. It has f-ttehily became more so during his reprceen- tAtdon of it. It will remain a Liberal consti- tuency if he learves it for Cardiff, only not so muoh so, for, after all. the LibecraMsm of the Oarnarvon. Boroiiglie to-da.y is largely pur* "Lloyd Goorgeism," and if Mr. Lloyd George iroee a good deal of Lloyd Georgeism rill- !MIt go with him, but die. Nerertheleea, I a.m Marred, and am now inclined to believe, that thoro will be enough of Liberaitem left in the Carnarvon Boroughs to hold the eea.t tJt all the assaults of Toryism, whdoh. by the way, need expect no aid from the labour party. The oiher point is the otoims of his porty. It has been hinted that CaJ- difif ouffht to get someone etee to step into the broaoh, but they believe there is none but Lloyd George who oa,n step into tba.t breach and close it. But it is not merely a of sa-ving Oardiff to the Liberel Party. It is a question of saving South WaJes, with its teeming and ever-growing population. LLoyd George OMI do that. In the minds of the Cardiff Liberal leaders it ia a oeY-tainty. and they are paid to have the soundest reasons for not publishing that explanation. That is Mr. Lloyd George's dilemma. He loves his constituency and his constituents. He eJøo has the interests of his great pa.rty ru noart. He is assed to saerifioe his love for the mke of his party. Will he do it?

DISGRACEFUL SCENES AT I NEWBRIDGE. The strike at Olyraan Collieries, Newbridge, which has lasted a week, culminated on Thursday with an outbreak of riotous con- duct, the majnager being the object of a hostile demonstration, and attempts bedng made to wreck his house. After holding a meeting, which was attended by nearly a. thousand of the 1.600 affected by the stoppage, many of the men. booing a.nd hooting, wemt towards the station. 'llhe manager (Mr. J. M. Wallace) pa-ssed alongside the men who had assembled on the embankment, and the booing and htloting increased. As the manager was aeoonding the steps leading to the station footbridge stones were thrown. Mr. Wallace apparently took no notice of the demonstra- tion. He travclle-l to Newport by the train leaving NewbridgÐ at 11.40. He remained in the waiting-room till the departure of the train, when he took shelter in the guard's van The booing was mingled with all sorts of uncomplimentary epithets, such as "Chuck him under the vrain." Some of the men climbed on to tihe station railings, and there v/ere loud cries and hooting as the train steamed out of the station. At Eisca Mr. "W allace left the guard s van and continued his journes to Newport. The whole incident lasted only a. few minutes, but it was sufficient to show the temper of the men. It is stated that this is Dot the first occasion Mr. Wallace has been hooted on the road. Afterwards the men went back to call out the men who were still at work, and several hundred of them then made for Mr. Wal- lace's house. They broke the windows and torB up shrubs, and in various ways did con- siderable damage. Mrs. Wallace had to call in the police, and asFistevnice was also sum- moned from the neighbouring districts. At the meeting of the workmen in the morning, presided over by Mr. John Price, ohairmau of the workmen's committee, a resolution was passed that all Federation men now working at the colliery be called upon to give up. During a long discussion cries were heard of Let us go and fetoh them out." CfensideraJble dissatisfaction has existed in the colliery for some time, and now both pits—the Bqack Vein and No. I-ere idle. EBBW V ALE DISPUTE: AID FOR I UNEMPLOYED. A meeting of the lu-A-som of the Mbw I Vale branch of the Miners' Federation was held on Thursday for the purpose of makima the necessary ajraasgpeaneats to meet tie needs of the men out of work in the d:iøt.iriœ. Mr. Emm Davies poneeidied, amd there was a large attendance. Mcr. W. Vyco (agemt) eaid the deputation, appointed at tihe last meeting had waited on the executive council, and had placad the matter in dispute before that OOdy. The council appointed Mr. W. Bu-a.ce, M.P and Mr. W. Harrie-s to investigate the matter, a-il t-hoee geatlenjen ha-d an interview with MT. fullis at Gu-diff. Mr. Brace Put down on paper what he thought the m'wl could agree to and what he thought Mr. Tallis could honourably acmee to. The deputation from the men sigraed the "paper, but Mr. Tallis refused to do so. and he still held out. Of course, Mr. fullis did not want the double shift—(ironical daughter)—but saM he wanted what he colled "a free hand" to wind the coal at night and to put the men in who were now out as he thought fit. Mr. Brace at once said that that was unreasonable, and more than the men could agree to, and he tore up the written paper. Mr. Tallis sub- sequently agreed to meet a deputation of Ebbw Vale workmen at home to see if they could not settle the matter, and that was how things stood at that moment. If they failed to arrive at a satisfactory settlement, then the men now out would be fina,noed by the eiecutive council from the date of stop- page. A deputation having been appointed to meet MT. Tallis, Mr. George Davies moved that a levy be made to supplement the a^sisitanee from the executive council. This was agreed to, and the sum fixed was 5s. per week for each ma.J1 and 1. for each lü<L

An Old Man & His Will DOCTOR AND "FIRST SOFTENINC." I The hearing of the will case of Brazil v. Brazil was continued in the Dublin courts on Thursday. TIK plaintiff is Williacn Brazil, of Oullane. Bally landers, co. lime-rick. and the action is brought by him as executor to prove the will dated June 5. 1903, of James Brazil, of the same place. and formerly of Swansea who died on June 5, 1908. The defendant h Joseph Brazil, a nephew of the testator. The will was also opposed by two iintervenients William Linnard and George Linnard, the latter of Cardiff, and the former of Malvern- terrace, Swansea. The instructing solicitors for the intervenients were Messrs. Viner leeder, and Morris, Swansea, and Mr. Johi T. Bullen, oaadiff. The oross-exaoiination of the plaintiff wa; continued. He admitted that when bringing the testator to Ireland he only took a singl, ticket, as he did not know how long he would remain. Testator had no luggage exoep. what he had in hie pockets. Judge's Amusing Reminiscence I Mr. Jusioce Johnson suggested that tha: might have been qnite- involuntarily. ill himself was left down at Cheltenham with nothing but a hat-box. (Laughter.) "Th. landlord of the hotel at Cheltenham WH. kind enough to lend me his pyjamas —(laughter)—and the landlady was gO(h enough to let me have the loan of her silver hacked brushes and cwmb—(laughter)—an. the next day I nad to stay in bed while ID: man went out and bought me an outfit, iii oluding a complete suit of clothes, and razor and other tilings before I could w<M and dress."
