POLICE LINK ARMS
POLICE LINK ARMS ——— ——— To Protect Chancellor ? I excited cornishmen hoot Mr. Lloyd George had an experience oil Saturday (so the" Daily Mail" declares) ^fiminisoent of a celebrated incident in \hi'Üh he was the centml figure at Birming- ham a few years ago. The Chancellor arrived at Falmouth at 9.20 On Saturday- nurht. It had been arranged tba.t he snouid alight a.t Penryn, the station before Falmouth, and be escorted into Fal- mouth by a torchlight procession of his sup- Dorters. The granite workers in the district-, however, are so incensed at the orders for granite for Roeyth being given to foreigners that a counter demonstration was orgraoAeed and the opposition assumed such proportions that the police advised fresh arrangements. A hurried consultation was held, and in order to save Mr. Lloyd George from amy Unpleasant incident it was decided to aban- don the original programme, and that he should proceed direct to Falmouth. When the train stopped- at Penryn the angry shouts of the disappointed section of the crowd dominated the cheers of the Cham- supporters, and cries of "Coward!" and "Traitor!" were freely mingled with those of "Votes for women!" At Falmouth the precaution had been taken of olosing all the goates and other ^eans of access to the station. The plat- form, however, was crowded with police, and \hen Mr. Lloyd George stepped from his ('.0111 per tment his arms were immediately linked in those of two constables, and in this way, followed by a posse of police, he Was taken to a motor-car waiting outside. Dries of "Reminds you of Birmingha.m "Why don't you borrow a constable's unfl- form?" and the like were frequently heard above the cheers of his supporters, the "bOos" of opponents, and the shouts of "Votes for women!" The motor-car was driven off, and a few torc.hbea.rers accompanied it the fw yards to the Falmouth Hotel, where the Chancellor is staying. "Black Bread for Peers" MR. LLOYD GEORGE. Air. Lloyd George on Saturday night at Plymouth said he showed when at the Board of Trade that he was not afraid of putting matters right as between the foreigner and the Britisher. He was quite ready to slay the Egyptian if he was interfering with his own People, but this would not be done except by Free Trade. Why should prices be so much higher in Germany if it was the foreigaer who paid? Bread, rjiment, housing, and everything there? If was because, as the German knew. he paid ind not the foreigner, and the Ger- man had to eat black bread and horseflesh. The "Daily Mail," which always told the truth—(Laughter)—said this bread was whole- ^>me and the Germans liked it. Well, let it be tried on the peers. Give them three Months of b'ack bread diet and the most Juicy horseflesh—(laughter)—and before they had got through three days they would say, "Let us piuss the Budget." Were they worried in this district with tra-nips — <"yes" and laughteri well, let them a.gain. cr merchant gbips in Germany they h-ad 2,600,000 tons of shipping. In our little numerable Free Trade country—ruined because we did not tax bread—(laughter) we had got over 1,100,000,000 tons; we did most of the business of the world; we carried more internal trade, probably ten times, than Germany. (Cheers.) We did not do it for Nothing. Our shipping brought us over ■ £ 100,000,000 a year, mostly paid by that Wretched foreigner. (Laughter.) We got the foreigner in four ways. The f, r,t we left to Lord Rothschild, who, knowing th .s was a Free Trade country, with plenty of money to spare, garnered his money together. then lent it to the foreigner. Lord Rothschild had quoted in the House of Lords his father 14. having said that there was nothing more fruitful for the trade of a country than the fact that it was able* to advance money to foreign land. Lord George Hamilton made a very offensive attack on him the other day when he said, Why do you bring over this Welshman to look after our finance?" He begged Lord George's pardon. lie thought he v.-as a Unionist. Was not this the United Kingdom? His (Mr. Lloyd George's) ancestors were here a thousand years a-go. lie wondered where Lord George's came from. Like most aristocrat, probably he was pome- thing of a mongrel. He thought Lord George Hamilton belonged to that set whom they called in Ireland, The Hungry Hamiltons," and he was the hungriest of them all. (L&"ghter.j When he was down at his old home the other day a li-el-d cf rabbita bolted at the sight of him, though he had no gun. fiog, or snare. The Tories were just the earce, tracked by the Radical weazel—(latigh- ter)—fearing the bay of the democratic bloodhound, hearing in thf cistance the crack of the German rifle-(more laughter)— but. like the rabbits, their nervousness did not prevent them from eating up the crops. (Laughter.) An Election Forecast At Stonehouse Mr. Lloyd George said that as the result of going about the country he found tnat the Liberals were going to win the election. (Cheers.) They were not merely going to win; they intended to make some- thing out of their victory. At this point there was a noise of some- thing falling at the back of the stage. That," said Mr. Lloyd George, sounds almost like the fall of the Houee of Lords." A little later at the back of the stage again came a voice through a megaphone calling, Votes for women," and there was some dis- turbance. Mr. Lloyd George added that the Lords would not have thrown out the Budget if he had put the burden on the people. They would have risen and called him blessed. They rose now and called him something wu~ he would not repeat in decent society. (Laughter.) "AN INSOLENT THING." MR. CHURCHILL. Mr. Churchill, at Leven, Bast Fife, on Saturday night. said the Prime Minister h«ad simply wiped the floor w-ith Mr. Balfour. The Lords' rejection of the Budget was aLl insolent thing. The whole of Lord Lansdowne was indeed one of aristocratio insolence, and the played-out, obsolete, anachronistic Assembly he led only required a smashing blow now from the electorate to finisoh it for .ever. Lord Lanbdowne said the other night salid. "Twenty years ago who would ever have thought a, Lloyd George likely." He (Mr. Church ill) replied, "'Twen'ty years hence who would ever think a Lanfidowne possible." What was Mr. Lloyd George represen- ta,tive of? The democratic freedoan of the British Constitution, which ena-bled a man of merit and parts to rise from a village school to a position of the highest consequence under the Crown. That was what Mr. Lloyd George's career represented. What did Lord L-anisdowne's career repre- sent? It represented privilege and favour from beginning to end. It represented con- sistent and unbroken spoon-feeding from start to finish. (Laughter.) It represented the royal road to favour and employment. And what did Lord Lansdowne's political action represent? It represented not the authority of the people, but the partisanship of a faction and of a class; it represented a small group of hereditary legislators who were in close alliance with the caucus of the Tory party. Sometimes he wevt t-nrongri the form of holding a meeting in his back parlour. (Laughter.) At another time, "A nod is as good as a winh." A letter was written to the Licensed YiotU'a,Ilers' AssociBJt,h>n. who were assa,red their cause would not be lost sight of. MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S LETTERS Mr. AuMen Chamberlain, informed that a Mr. W. S. Spurgeoai, in the course of an address, alluding to the letters published with the signature of Mr. Chamberlain, was alleged to have said that Mr. Chamberlain was incapable of writing a single word, that he was practically an imbecile, and that Mr. Austen Chamberlain or somebody else wrote those letjters in Mr. Joseph Chamberlain s as folows:— If Mr. Spurgeon used the language quoted by you he said that which is untrue. I make no comment on the cruel and indecent character of the lie, but you have my authority to oontradict it publicly. Such inventions can only disgrace their authors. They cannot inju-re those against whom the slanders are made.

I"STRAINING AT A GNAT" I
"STRAINING AT A GNAT" I "We don'e want to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel," remarked the Lord Mayor (Mr. John Chapipell) at to-day's meet.in.g of the oity oouncil, when Mr. William Jones moved that the proposals far road improve- ments at Penylan-hill be referred back. The surveyor's estimate was X2,000, but executed by the unemployed another £500 would be required. The agents of the Raath Court Estate were prepared to give the land for widening on condition of proper fencing and sewering a.nd payment of about L15 to the teijants as compensation. Mr. A. Good, in seconding, said he could not conceive any- thing more contemptible or mean thaji the landlord aalang for this £ 15. They raised the land from peppercorn to enormous value <fireotly it was wanted by the corporation. It was here the Lord Mayor interposed, adding, "If we are worth anything at all, we are able to look at the perspective of Cardiff." Mr. A. C. Kirk (emphatically): For heaven's sake let us get on with doing the work, and not talk piffl like this. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Trounce: Let us get on with the work and give employment to the un- employed. The committee's recommendatidn was adopted by a large majority.

I Like Rats in Trap  ——.———— S?XUVESLOSFAT EEFAST A disastrous fire broke out in a dwelling- house in Lisburn, Belfast, this morning. About two o'clock a lamplighter, named Fagan, together with his wife and four chil- dren, were caught like Fats in a, trap, so quickly did the flames spread, and before any help could be forthcoming they had all pens lied..Several persons who, arrived on the scene when the firo first broke out were helpless sp>eotators of the tragedy. Telegraphing further, a Lisburn corres- pondent says the fire occurred at four o'clock this morning. Three lodgers escaped by a. back window.

I Like -Romeo and Juliet
I Like Romeo and Juliet SUICIDE OF A PRINCE AND GIRL The recent death at Denver, Colorado, of Baron Ludwig Vecseira, brother of the Baron- ess Marie Vecsera, whose name was so inti- mately associated with the Austrian Arch- duke Rodolph—iheir to the Throne of Austria —who committed suicide in January, 1889, has resulted in the publication in the Neues Weiner Journal" of some remarkable extracts from the Baron's diary which throw a new light on the circumstances attending the death of tha Crown Prince. In these extracts, for the authencity of which the journal vouches, the Baron relates in detail the story of the Archduke's love for the Baroness Marie Veesara. At. first, says the Baron, the Archduke Rodolph had considerable admiration and respect for his wife—Princess Stephanie of Belgium, whom he had married in 1881—though the marriage could in no way he considered a love match; but the Princess did not properly understand his romantic and dreamy nature. A Deep Affection It was in the disconteeited and unhappy frame of mind engendered by his married life," continues the Baron, that the Prince met. my sister, a young and beautiful girl, and a deep and lasting affection sprang up between the couple at once, which was only strengthened by the frequent meetings which followed between the Prince and my sisteT and mother. When I heard of what was happen- ing, I immediately remonstrated, know- ing that any morganatic marriage was out of the question; but Prince Rodolph repaatodiy assured both my sister and my mother that he was determined to overcome all difficulties and obtain a divorce, after which he would marry Marie. They con- tinued to meet more and more frequently, until at the end of 1888 the Prince told Marie, with tears in his eyes, that all his efforts had been in vain, and that there was no pos- sibility of a marriage with her. I wanted to send the girl to a convent; but Rudolph would not hear of this, dcelanng that if they were parted he would kill himself. "Only Death Remains. "Then came the fatal day—the 29th cf January, 1889. A shooting party had been arranged at Clastic Mayerburg, at which Marie, her brother, and I were present on -P,rinoe Rudolph's invitation, only one other friend of his being there. After supper, we leA Rudolph and Marie alone, ait the Prince's request, and at this interview he told her that they must part. Her reply was, Then only death remains for me.' Shortly after t-his we all retirred for the night. "On the following morning, at seven o'clock, Rudolph s valet knocked at his bedroom door, as usual; but received no reply. Alarmed, he broke into the room, and a ter- rible sight met our eyes. Four candles were still burning.. On the bed lay Prince Rudolph, a small bullet wound in his fore- head, and one arm hanging sideways over the bed. A revolver lay on the carpet. "Then we saw that there was another figure in the room, shrouded from head to foot in a blanket. It was Marie. On a, table close to her was a bottle still containing some poison, and it was dear that she had poisoned herself. An open letter explained tha-t the couple had aereed to die together."

I "Medium" in a River. —♦ A POLICEMAN CALLANT RESCUE BY A POUCEMAN The prompt action of Constable White jiaved the life of a woman named Elizabeth Gillnian (40). an entertainer. Last Tuesday she threw herself over the parapet of Black- friars-bridge. The constable at once ran down the pier steps, and, along with Mr. Hillyer, the pier-master, rowed to the centre of the river, where they saw the woman floating down with the tide. With difficulty they got her into the boat in an unconscious state, but artificial respiration being applied, she recovered. At the Guildhall on Saturday the woman was charged with attempting to commit sui- cide. Mr. Charles Henry Cox. on entertainer, said the woman acted as a "medium" in his thought-reading seances. He met her on the night in question. She was the worse for drink, and they had some words. While crossing the bridge together &be dropped be- rind and flung herself into the water. The Lord Mayor (to defendant): Can you tell me anything P Defendant (tearfully): I can only SAY I plea.d guilty. Heaven forgive me for what I did. I promise faithfully that I will never attempt such a thing again. He (Mr. Cox) has been very kind to me. Through his giving ,me employment "I haive been able to keep my aged father. The Lord Mayor: Well, I will now dis- charge you. Defendant (weeping): Please "Pt my gratefulness- The Lord Mayor complimented the police- constable on his conduct.

Edwards spoke to seeing about eighteen men playing skitties at the place. Pnaes of a turkey, beef, brandy, and whisky were offered. Mr. A. T. James (of Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James), who appeared for the defendant, explained that this was a practice which had been in vogue in the dis- trict for the past seventeen years, and the defendant, therefore, was ignorant of any offence against the licensing laws. The Bench, on Mr. Evame promising to discon- tinue the practice, ordered him to pay the oosta.

I Fresh Meat was Rare I
I Fresh Meat was Rare ■i ■ — WHEN AN EARL'S SON WAS A SAILOR Another instance of a son of the nobility "talking off his coa.t," as the saying goes, to work, like the Earl of Hardwicke, is Lord DalzeH and Li-berton, Son and heir of Earl Cajrnwath, a Scottish representative peer. ] It was stated suine days ago that Lord DaJzell and Liber ton was an officer on a P. and O. liner, and a press representative found that the peer's sen did actually 6<,rY6 for same time in that company's service as fourth officer. But that was not the beginning of his career in the mercantile marine. Yesterday the future ea.rl told some of his experience since he chose a seafaring life, and, as pla.in Mr. Ronald Dalzell, shipped as a "middy" at the age of seventeen on the Marquarie, a four-rigiged ship plying between London ard Sydney. "Although ostensibly, a midshipman," he said, "I was to all intents and purposes a sca.man. I had the sailor's 'four hours on and four hours off' duty. The life was hard, aind the food was rough, and well do I re- member the joy with which we all looked forward to the occasions on wihich fresh meat took the place of salt pork, our usual food." -a,t-er, Lord Dalzell served ae an officer on a Houlder boat trading to South America; then he traded to Morocco on one of For- wod's vessels, and later he joined one of Elder and Fyffe's boat.s in the banana trade. Next he entered the P. and O. service, and served as fourth officer on several of their liners, including the Simla. Oceana, Pera, Caledonia, and Oriental. "Perhaps this part of my seafaring life," said Lord Dalzdll, "was the most interesting, consisting for the greater part of voyages to the East. "Although during the earlier pa.rt of sailor- ing life," continued Lord Dalzwll, "I often had occasion to work 36 hours or more a,t a stretah, I have never regretted going to sea, and should doubtless have continued the life but for a family bereavement."
! DANGER IN GLOVES ! I I
DANGER IN GLOVES Do you wear coloured gloves? If ycu do, then b.3 wary. It has been left to a- German pa.per to draw attention to the fat that coloured gloves are responsible for many cases of blood-poisoning and inflammation. According to a prominent London hosier this coloured glove peril refers mostly tq those sold to children at a few penoe each. "In such gloves," he said "there is, undoubtedly, dye which, by reason of its cheapness, cannot be other than harmful." The report drew irom the manager of a large fancy emporium I the retort: "It is a bogey." "In all my twenty years' experiences," he explained, "I have not met with more than 1 per cent. of m.ishaips caused through wearing coloured gloves. It all depends upon the wearer's hand, whether it, is naturally dry or 'clammy.' If the latter is the caise, dye -will often come through any glove, whether it cost 7s. 6d. or Is. 6d."
I AUTOMATIC TYPEWRITER___I
AUTOMATIC TYPEWRITER A remarkable combination of the phono- graph and the typewriter has been patented by Professor Peter Christaph, of Czemovitz University. This machine claims to solve the problem of completely automatic writing from dictation. By the me of two telephones the vibrations of the membranb of a micro- Phone are transformed into movenients of an interrupter and a con-taot plate, which com- bine to form1 a particular ourve for each sound. By following this curve an electric contact is formed by a pointer with the cor- responding key of the typewriter, which thereupon prints the letter. Apparently the machine would only write in honetic spelling.

I FOUNTAIN PEN AS BOMB I
I FOUNTAIN PEN AS BOMB Martin Ekenberg, a Swedish doctor of science, again appeiared at Bow-street on Saturday charged with attempted murder by bending bombs through the 130st to Sweden. Furuher depositions from abroad in sup- port of the theory that the accused wrote threatening aild abusive letters were sent. fhaae letters concerned one Verra-nt, or Val- lentiu, upon whom an outrage was committed on May 5, 1905. One letter, dated May 1, 1906, from Berlin to the editor of the" SocIal Democrat, Stockholm, wao as follows:- Dewr Mr. Ecbtor.-We take the liberty of drawing your attention to the Jewish para- site. This man. appears to belong to an international band of political spies. According to information from Vienna his name is found in the list of orders, and he wears Russian and Austrian orders, which have probably been bestowed upon ? been beet<>wed upon him as a sample collection. The letter went on to state that the man called himself several German names, in ^alLentin appeared, and continued:— From this it will be seen he is a gross adventurer. But we know still more about him." The envelope bore the pœtmark May Z. ?;_ \?? the Stockholm .postmark showed tha.t the letter arrived on Ma.y 4. The out- rage took place on the 5th, so the explosive probably arrived by the same post. An expert in handwriting declared that one of the letters produced was written by Lkenberg. I EXPLOSIVE FOUNTAIN UN-. I nsg completed the details with regard to the alleged attempt on Mr. Vallentin, counsel proceeded to deal with the Sjohohn case. In a deposition, Mr. sjohqhn men- tioned that he had made Ekenberg's acquain- tance, and attributed his esoape to the faoot that when the fountain pen in the form of a bomb arrived! he was away. In a state- ment his son said 'that he opened a letter at the factory and saw a cardboard box. whioh he ?°? out of the wrappin?e. ?? The 1'4 bore the printed letters Fountain pen." He opened the box and found a ylinder, and he considered that a practical joke had been played. He exerted some pres- sure in order to open the cylinder, and he noticed a slight resistance, which he over- came. Then he noticed that there was not only one end of a metal wire passing from the cylinder to the lid of the box, but also a long, bottle-shaped object of iron or some other metal in the other part of the cylin- der. One end of the wire had been fastened to a capsule. His suspicions that an attempt on the life of his father had beeu intended were aroused, and he placed the contents of the box in his overcoat pocket, but he lost them or they were stolen, except for part of the cardboard cylinder, which he kept. iir • Muir asked the magistrate to say that the cbarges were such that had the offences alleged been in England the prisoner would have been committed for trial. Mr. Bodkin applied for a short remand in the interests of Ekenberg. A good deal of evidence had been given-scrappily, he might RaY-and he asked the magistrate to allow him to consider the particulars of the case which Mr Mnir had submitted. Another remand was accordingly granted.

INTERNATIONAl. TRIAL MATCH AT TWICKENHAM There was an attendance of over 4,000 on the new ground at Twickenham to witness the last of the series of trial matches arranged by the JojngJj:b R1.1g,by Union. With the exception of Gent taking Gottcy's place at half, there were no further changes, the sides being as follow.s:- England: Back, W. R. Johnson (Bristol); three-quarter backs, A. Hudson (Gloucester), J. G. G. Birkett (Harlequins), R. W. Poulton and Oxford), and F. M. Stoop (Harlequins); half-backs, A. D. Stoop (Harle- quins) a-nd H J. JI. Sibree (Harlequins); for- wards, D. F Smith (Richmond), G. C. Wilson rRichmond), B. O. Lagden (Richmond and Oxford), H. Berry (Gloucester), S. Romans 'Bridgwater, E. L. Chambers ^Bedford), Lieuten.ant N. A. Wodehouse (Services), and C. S. L. Roberts (Guy's) The Rest: Back, C. S. Williams (Man- chester) three-quarter backs, F. E. Chapman (Westoe), J. A. Spoors (Bristol), B. Solomon (Redruth), and B. Bennetts (Penzance); half- backs. H. Coverdale (Blackiheath) and D. R. Gent (Gloucester); forwards, L. Haigh (Ma.n- chester), L. E. B. Ward (Edinburgh Univer- sity). R. H. M. Hands (Blackheatih and Orford), W. Johns (Gloucester), H. J. S. Morton (Blackheath), C. H. eillman (Black- heath), J. A. S. Ritaon (Hexham), and J. V. Fiddian (Cambridge). Mr. F. C. Potter-Irwin (Rugby Union Com- mittee) was the referee. The Rest made the first attack. Ritson went off hurt Chapmlan and Spoors started a movement, but Stoop intercepted. Bell was forced back to the centre, but after Poulton had iet up Qe Rest forwards Chap- man gave a pass to Bennetts, who made a fine run. He was collared, but passed in the nick of time to Solomon, who gained a try. This was seven minutes after the kick-off. Solomon took the place kick, but failed. On dropping out, Poulton made a good run, but slipped. Pillman headed a rush of the Rest to the rival 25, where Chapman kicked a penalty goal. Hits was the result of Hudson when off- side intercepting a pass by Gent, and placed the Rest six points up in eighteen minutes. After this F. Stoop and Birkett broke away. England made their first attack. Chapman had a long shot at goal from a free. The Rest continued to attack, but Johnson, though lame, dived in and cleared Twice England had to touch down in qnick succession. A piece of passing by Adrian, Stoop, Poulton, and Birkett saw Chapman intercept. The Rest halves headed I a dribble, but F. Stat:']) saved cleverly. Eng-1 land had a look in, but were well checked. Gent made a mark, and a little later Eng- land again touched down. At the interval the Rest led by a penalty goal and a try— six points—to nil. In the second half Gent a;nd Williams changed places with Sibree and Johnson. A. Stoop and Roberts made a run, Which ended 111 the Rest touching down- England did much better, and a pass from Gent to Stoop saw Hudson gather from tihe latter's p'unt and run in- Lagden kicked a goal. Coverdale got alWay. but delayed to pass to sibree. A little later he gave to Solomon, who put in delightful work, and Spoors ran in for the Rest, Chapman missing an easy place. A fine pdece of work by Sibree, with a long throw to Ciiapman, and he to Spoors, saw Coverdale run round, and Solomon, this time improved The Rest held the lead of fourteen points to five. F. M. Stoop made a dashing run, and after being half checked by Spoors was brought down by Birkett. With the wind England returned to the attack, and a movement initiated by Gent saw Birkett in, Lagden easily improving. Tihe Rest u crv led by fourteen points to ten. Alterations were made in the rival three- quarter lines. Solomon made a fine run for the P,.est, who had quite as much ctf the play, though once Huilson threatened danger. Chapman added a. try, Solomon converting. No side then sounded. RUNNING COMMENTS. [By FORWARD."] England's Rugby home at Twickenham pre- sented a more animated picture on Saturday than on the occasion of the last t",ial match, a couple of thousand people being assembled on the well-appointed ground quite half an ho-ar before the game waos timed to begin. With the exception of Gotley (Oxford and BlackhfOith), inside half, all the chosen players turned out, so that the ma-tch pro- mised well to be a real test of England's strength in ■ every department. Gent, of Gloucester, who learned his football a.t Swaaisea, was called upon at the eleventh hour to deputise Gotley for the Resit, and made no secret -ofllhis anticipation of meet- ing a problem in Sibree as tihe partner of A. D. Stoop, who is iega-rded as England's star artiste this season. Mr. Potter-Irwin was the referee. England opened the game by kicking off against a stiffish breeze, and Morton, the Black heath forward, failed to return before he was forced to pass forward. The first pretty incident occurred when Solomon, after picking up in the loose, dodged brilliantly, and was within a yard of the line, when he passed to Bennetts, who was tackled before he could move. The Redruth man could have gone over himself had he been lees selfish. To the surprise of everybody, the Rest fadrly outplayed England, kid a really fine bout of passing initiated by Gent ended in Solomon scoring a clinking try, which he failed to convert. Ten minutes' play suf- ficed to reveal the weakness of England's backs in intelligence. Birkett being con- tinually at fault. A delite forward pass resulted in England being penalisec^ and the ball was placed for Ghapmam, whc kicked a lovely goal from near the touch-line. ENGLAND'S SillE DISAPPOINTING. Pillman, the Blackhoatih forward, was an outstanding figure among the forwards. Mrt-on., his olubmatoe, was also conspicuous. En^gland s forwards so far were more thaax disappointing, being frequently beaten in heeling and wheeling. Not only were the forwards poor, but the nruch-vaunted Har. lequins' backs were quite commonplace. The Rest forced two minors in as many minutes, and the spectators, in sheer exasperation, shouted. "Play up, England." They failed to respond to the call, the Rest forwards b^hf altogether too keen for the En?Ii&h eight. I'oi lH first time A. D. &t<)Op came into prominence with a clever corkscrew ran  Own ? ? ? ?°?' where he WM noored by s??,. England made despite eKT or, LS to get into their stride, and looked rike &coring until Bi??t ?ve a wretched pav-s which broke d?n a prom?i?mo ment.

THE SECOND HALF in me second !ba?f Gent chans-ed n??<. with Sibr?. and Wimms t<?? ????nIa1??S Johnson. These two <-h?n? had an imme- d?te effect ?po? the whole trend ? play. Having 9*-?ined a foothold in the Rest 25 fhi E?lMJi f?rw?? h?l?d out, and nt gave a l?rf?t pa,?;s to "?- who cros^kicked, and Hud?n t?ki? the ball on the f?l run, ?U?ped<.?r wi?ut oM?t?n. and scored Ui^V ?h cr??bar for La?d?u to convert.  f ?°Uple ? minu?s of the kick out the R?st forced th?ir way to the English quarter, where Coverdale gave a difficult pass to Solomon. The Redruth man, whom I Rnn?f? in the previous trial as the be?t th??i? n toh?e t,he Kbal!l rd' 20DAr-med my opinion by taking the ball splendidly, and, ?ft?r beating ?? irkett in the ea?e? possible fashion wit.¡ tilehne.st run of the match, passed at the right moment to Spoors, who ran over and planted the ball under the bax. The goal- kick failed. The crowd showed their appre- ciation of Solomon's play by loud cheering and cries of "Well played, Solomon." After his form to-day Solomon is bound to flud a. plaoe in England's side- England's troubles were not yet over, for i. mmediately after the kick out the Rest attacked strongly, and Coverdale, after oeatmg Stoop very cheaply, went behind the posts with a try, which was converted. England, however, came again, and a fine run by Birkett, after receiving a nice pass from Gent, ended in the London Harlequin scoring under the bar. I A PROBLEjU FOR SELECTORS The niatdh, Instead of helping the Rugtby Union selectors, has made their business of selection a greater difficulty than ever. At the same time, it ought to be an easy matter to pick a stronger side tha.n one could expect before to-day's game, for the simple, but all sufficient, reason that several of the Rest men showed magnificent form. First and foremost among them was Solomon, who, in my opinion, is the finest centre England has produoed ior many years. He is not only brilliant in attack, but sound in defence. He was chiefly responsible for smashing up the famous Harlequins' cam- biration. Of the forwards Morton, Pillman. and Johns were easily the pick of the basket on the Rest side, the Gloucester veteran play- ing the game of his life. PROSPECTS OF WAJJEB. I After Saturday's game, I have no serious hesitation in predicting tihat Wales, with lordiIiary look, wiU keep up her sequence of victories over England on the same ground in a week hence. England's defeat has made confusion worse confounded, and what "was supposed to be her strongest section.—tihe Harlequins' back divic-ion-was proved on Saturday to be her weakness. The great Jobn Birkett was the most disappointing player on the field. but it will not be surpris- ine, for all that, if he is chosen. S'olomon, as I have already &aid, was the man of the match, and Chapman and Hudson were the be-t of the wings. LitUe Gent fairly out played Sibree, and on form ought to be chosen for the fourth time for England. Out of the sixteen forwards who played there ousht to be no real trouble in finding eight men of tihe right stamp. Pillman, Morton, Johns, and Romans ought to be certainties, with Wcdehouse and Wilson. Johnson main- tained his reputation as a first-class cus- todian, and the only reason for giving Stoop Preference over Coverdale is the superior physique of the former. One never knows until the real event comes off, but I fancy that the Welsh, team will be found to be more than a match for any fifteen chosen out of the thirty men who played at Twicken- bam 011 Saturday. The English team to meet Wales was to nave been chosen after the trial match on Saturday, but, nothing was allowed to trans- pire as to what occurred. Wiring late evemng, onr e-orregpondent said that "tdle En;lish fifteen will not be made known to-night." Player's Critical Condition. In t,his match at iloohcn Sid Griffiths, after being badly fouled, was carried off the field. He resumed after the interval, but at the conclusion of the game his condition became very serious He was conveyed to his home, and Dr. Dan Thomas called in, who found him to be suffering from muscular strain of the stomaah. Griffiths has had little or no rest since the occurrence. After a Treharris Man It is stated that Middlesbrough are anxious to secure the transfer of Williams, the well- known Treharris centre half-back, who last season was the first reserve for Wales. Had Wales Bean There It is t.he veriest of commonplaces to say that one sympathised with the English Selection Committee in the unusual and unexpected difficulties which confronted them after the rout of their carefully-chosen team at Twickenham on Saturday (writes Major Philip Trevor in the Daily Tele- graph.") Had Wales, and not the Rest, been the opponents of the England XV., the winners' score might easily have been 30 odd points. And it is Wales who are to be met on Saturday next
THIRD ROUND WELSH CUP
THIRD ROUND WELSH CUP KEEN FIGHT BETWEEN MERTHYR AND TREHARRIS. Hthyr Goals. .M?,.rl,hyr 1 Treharns 1 The followers of the Soccer code in South Wales turned up in force at Merthyr on Saturday to witness what was generally con- sidered to be the looal "Derby" in the national cup competition, fulls 6,000 people beins present. Treharris were without the services of Phillips, Wallace Jones taking a position in the front string. Merthyr played Wootton inside right; otherwise the team was the same that opposed Treharris twice at Christmas. Merthyr were first to show prominently, but the Treharris backs were in close attend- ance, Smart, cleaning a dangerous rush. WTiittakar put in several capital centre, which Bailiff cleverly accounted for. Pretty play by the Treharris forwards took play to the home half, where after some- exciting play Abley got the better of Chapman and opened the score for Treharris with a nioe shot. Whittaker, who was ably partnered by Fisher, was soon going again, and caused an anxious time for the Treharris defence, Bailiff saving from him twice in quick succes- sion. The visitors now 'h^d more of the game, Barlow leading some smart at-tacks on the home citadeL Davies was getting well away when he was fouled by "Tagg" Wil- liams, and from the free Pennberton brought the scores equal. Honours were easy at half-time with one goal each The second half opened tamely, Merthyr being handicapped bs Wootton, who was too lame to take an active part in the game. Play was in favour of Treharris, but the players were affected with cup-tie fever and dhancas went begging. The Merthyr backs and haJves were in fine trim. otherwise Tre- harris would have run out easy winners. The splendid defence of Wightman was a great feature of the game, and everyone regrets that this was his last game for Merthyr, having been transferred to Middles- brough. Chapman also distinguished him- ) self, whilst. Kelly never gave more satisfac- tion than in this game. Llewellyn and Pem- berton were great, both in attack and defence. Whittaker was the best forward on the field, D. W. Davies and Fisher also doing well. Melvin did not oome up to expecta- tions. Fcr Treharris Bailiff did great things in goal, some of his saves being remarkable. The backs, Smart and Timmins, did good service throughout. "Tagg" Willia.ms was the pick of the halves, but the others did well. The forwards were a. smart set, Abley, Barlow, and Jfawkins fully maintaining their reputations. The --play will take place at Treharris on Thursday next.

I THE HOSPITAL SQUIRREL
I THE HOSPITAL SQUIRREL One often hears of the tom-n mouse, the oountry mouse and the church mouse, but there is something novel in a hospital squirrel A faw months ago the patients at the Hospi- tal for Incurables, Heaton Mersey, Manches- ter, were delighted, says the Countryside," to see that a squirrel had strayed into the grounds and had taken up his residence there. There are many trees and shruhs in the grounds, so that he has choeen a. suitable plaoe for his home. It was suggested that. if provision was made by which the squirrel could climb up to the windows and be fed he would eventually come inside. Thie was men- tioned to the seafetery, and a rope waa placed in position. The squirrel was fed at the bottom of the rope, and seeing the nuts on the window-eilla climbed the rope and enjoyed them. Up he came, and the window of tihe ward being opem, in he came with caution. In a moment he was relishing the nuts and bread and milk which had been plaloed on the dresaer. Another squirrel hofl bean bought, and they come to this ward regularly for their meals.

Lovers Mutilated
Lovers Mutilated LIE DOWN AND WAIT FOR TRAIN I Two young lovers, both of them under twenty-one, conunitted suicide in dramatic circumstances on the railway line at Peters- field, near Portsmouth. where their bodies were found on Saturday. Their names were Harry J'oss, aged twonty, and Ellen Ifould, seventeen, both natives of Ptetensfieid, and from their early schooldays they had been sweethearts. Botb left Petorsfield to take situations some months a-go, and it appears that the separation weigthed on them, and tne cir- cumstances of the tragedy suggest that they had agreed to meet at Petersfield and die together. They arrived there on Thursday, apparently both quite happy, and spent Fridas together, supping in the evening at the house of Moss's father. After supper iloss went up to his father's room and handed him a watch, asking him to keep it in r^wembra.noe, and adding thii he (the father) would probably hear some- thing about him in the next two dvs. Then the couple left the house, and were seen crossing Some meadows towards the girl's home. That was the last setn-pf them untit a railwayman discovered their mutila- te d todies on the metals. They had evidently .a in down with their heads across one of the lines and waited for the Loudon express to come. Their olothiing was saturated us if they had in water, and it was conjectured that tiity had attempted drowning, and failed. In a letter found cn tnera ii was state-l that they were swecthoirts, and, being un- happy, had decided to dio together.

In their Cihurah God gave them the best thing out of Heaven. It was so be-autiful that Protestants decked themselves out like it and were always mimicking them. They saw the Protestant clergy decked out in Catholic millinery and decorations; but they were as much Lke the real thing as Madame Tu^saud's waxworks were like the things they represented. They might put on side and stalk about, as was done in society, but that woe mere child's play.
