Fortune Came Too Late I DEATH OF THE CABMAN HEIR The romance of the Penderel annuity is now tinged with pathos. Robert Maclaren, the London cabman, has died without receiving a penny of the it a week pension to which it was recently proved he was entitled. After long search, it may be remembered, a firm of London solicitors found Maciaren and proved that he was a descendant of the famous" honest Richard Pemderel to whom Charles II. awarded an annuity of zElOO for sheltering him after the battle of Worcester. Living in penury, the aged cabman was overjoyed when he found that of the annuity LSO a year would be hiis. After his claim had been upheld by the courts in December last, legal formalities ensued before the first instalment could be paid to him. On Feb- ruary 11, before these formalities could be completed, the old cabman died. Another search, has now to be commenced. The cabman's eldest son, Robert Williams, to whom the pension reverts on his father's death, cannot be found. His age, if he is alive, is 44. Twelve years ago he lived in Harrison-street, Gray's Inn-road, but since that time no. trace of him can be discovered. It is supposed, however, that he went to South Africa at the time of the Boer war.

HOW TO DESTROY THE DANDRUFF GERM (By A SPECIALIST.) I That the dandruff germ is responsible for nearly all the diseases to which the scalp is heir, as well as for baldness and premature grey hair, is a well-known fact, but when we realise that it is also indireotly responsible for many of the worst cases of catarrh and consumption, we appreciate the importance of any agent that will destroy its power. We are, therefore, pertdculariy pleased to give herewith the prescription which an eminent scientist and specialist s-ta,tes he has found, after repeated tests, to completely destroy the dandruff germ in from one to three appli- cations. This prescription can 1>8 made up ao home, or any chemist will put it up for you: 3 ounces Bay Rum, 1 ounce Lavona de Oomposee, J dram Menthol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and after standing half an hour it is ready for use. Apply night and morn- ing, rubbing- into the scalp with finger-tips. If you wish it perfumed, add half t-easpoon-ful of French Fon Fleur perfume, which unites perfectly with the other -ingredients. This preparation is not a dye, but is unequalled for promoting a growth of new hair, and for restoring grey hair t-o its original colour. CAUTION.—Do not apply where hair is not desired, and be sure to avoid tonics containing poisollOllS wood alcohol. el 985

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES When bottling wine dip the corks in brandy before use and seal them. Never take a house without having the drains tested, or illness may speedily over- take you. A pinch of baking-powder in a cup of water used as a mouth-wash just before going to the dentist makes the teeth much lees sensi- tive to pain. Tinned provisions should be careti-illy handled. A" bruise may admit air, and thus danger would be immediately introduced into the contents. Remedy for Sprains Put the white of am, egg into a saucer; keep stirring it with a piece of alum about the size of a walnut until it becomes a thick jelly. Apply a portion of it on a piece of lint large enough to cover the sprain, chang- ing it for a fresh piece as often as it feels warm or dry. The limb should be kept in a horizontal position by placing it on a chair. Canadian Lemon Pie Make a. crust on a deep plate or tin, and bake first. Have the grated rind and juice of two lemons, cup of castor sugar (mix with sugar dessertspoonful of cornflour), and three-quarters of a teacup of water. Beat the yolks of two eggs and put in the sauce- pan with lemons, etc. StiT until it thickens, then pour into pie. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and put on top of the pie. Pmt in oven for two or three minutes. A Tasty Savoury Stamp out some small rounds of bread, fry a golden brown in hot lard, let cool, and in the i-ueanwhile make some green butter with finely chopped parsley and butter mixed. Whip half a gill of cream to a stiff froth, adding a finely-minced anchovy and half a. pint of picked shrimps. Spread rounds of bread with green butter, leaving green edges; pile mixture in centre. Ramakins Scrape a quarter of a pound of Cheshire, quarter of Gloucester cheese, and a quarter of good fresh butter. Bea-t all in a mortar, with the yolks of four eggs and the inside of a small French roll boiled in cream till soft. Mix the paste then with the whites of the eggs previously beaten, and put into small paper pans, made rather long than square, and bake in a dutch-oven till of a. fine brown. They should be eaten quite hot. Some like the addition of a glass of white wine. The batter for ramakins is equajly good over macaroni when boiled tender, or on stewed brocoli, celery, )r cauliflower, a little of the gravy they have been stewed in being put in the dish with them, but not enough to make the vegetables swim.

I" MRS. PONDERBURY'8 PAST" Playgoers have not to be told that a. man of extraordinary wit is the author of Mrs. nderbury'8 Pa?f'—the laughter which j invariably accompanies this play is the hall?, mark, the fullest sign of undoubted approval, tha.t any humorist can wish for. And at the New Theatre, Cardiff, on Monday night there was scarcely a minute when the full house was not provoked with laughter, which only subsided to burst out afresh at some newer and more striking sally by the remarkably strong a.nd amusing company sent down by Mies Emma. and Mr. Percy Hutchison. Yet Sir Francis Burnaiid's masterpiece is not -without its tragedy-the pathos of a husband subdued by a charming, but vixenish, wife— as yet not found out." Here we have a husbaind kept a prisoner in the library, yet who is able to indulge in the escapades that provide the spice of the piece. And when he is threatened at last with a lonely life at a farm three miles from the nearest village, not even to be able to "run errands," the climax oomes in the scene where, as the but- ler puts it, master has found missus out." It is a play that can be seen more than once, and enjoyed just SUB much when pre- sented by a strong company like that now I occupying the boards at the New Theatre. Naturally, Mr. Ponderbury is always in the picture, and Mr. George Mudie seizes every opportunity to make the most of the kaleido- scopic situations. His terrible spouse. is really a most fascinating lady, and in the title role Miss Celia Gordon acquits herself splendid'y. Miss Florence Wix runs her very close as Stella" in the competition for chief honours, and it is seldom possible to see such a pair of gifted actresses in the same piece. Miss Phyllis Stuckey makes a petite Ethel ide her artist sweet. Penniston, and others beside her artist sweet- heart quickly fall in love with her dainty attractiveness. MT. Stewart Dawson is a stage lover of no mean oapaoity, just as Mr. Perci- val Madgwick is distracting1 y bashful and shy in his attempts to become a lady's man." Mr. Percy Bell as the butler and friend of his master, is more than satisfying, and his time on the stage is all too short.

I REAL ARMAMENTS I The most powerful and serviceable of all armaments at man's disposal consist not in armour plate, not in guns or ammunition. The true airmament is that which comes from the enjoyment of robust health, from the posses- sion of firm flesh, a bright brain, a clear eye, a steady ha.nd. and a vitality to resist all forme of iltnesa or other danger that may be about. There is no greater help to hea'th than prudently chosen food; in fact, no one can remain long in the pmk of health who negleots to exercise discretion in choosing the things of the table. The body requires, everyday, a certain' proportion of nutriment, but in several forms. There must be nutri- ment to repair waste and build up new tissue; there must be nutriment to supply energy to the functions, and there must be mttriment in the form of warmth. Currants supply aU these in the proper proportions. The man. or woman, who eats currants libe- rally daily is armed agsinst the dangers •which beset health. Ask your grocer for the free booklet, entitled "Home Recipes for Oooi- ing Currants," which gives the various ways in which Currants can be prepared for the family meals- el699

I BRIGHT & VARIED PROGRAMME With some fastidious people even the dIO-regt things become monotonous, bate it is safe to say from the spontaneous cor-I diality of hia reception that Va.n Biene is still popular. His new role as centrepiece of a dramatic sketch formed a pleasing feature at Newport Empire on Monday night. The Leslie Bros. indulged in some of the quaintest j comedy; firtems's clever performances with cards and coins amused and mystified; while Frank Lynne, another merry.aaking me&am. also contributed to praerrae bright 818 it was vourtad.

Two Girls and Two Boys I I STORY OF A TRIP TO NEW BRIGHTON I The full atory of the case, in whioh a. yuong girl named Doris Brett is abarged with steal- ing X-100 from her mother's banking account was told before the Birmingham Stipendiary yesterday, when Brett, was brought ucp on remand. Mr. Philip Baker, who prosecuted, said that Doris Brett was sixteen years of age, and had lived with her widowed mother. Mrs. Eliza, Brett, her mother, had a deposit aoconmrt at Lloyds Bank. When Mrs. Brett wished to draw out any money she used to go round hereeli to the bank and ask for a cheque, naming the amount she required, and on occa-sions when she could not go herself she used to send the prisoner. On the 11th of February Mrs. Brett required L5. She sent her doughter to the baak for a cheque to be filled up in the usual way and to be signed. It appeared that the daughter went round to the bank, and said iher mother wanted two cheques from the bank, one for .E5 and one for zElOO. Having obtained the money the girl ran home and afterwards disappeared. The police were commranieated with, and a warrant was issued. On Saturday, February 26, in-form- tion was received t-hait the prisoner was in Birmingham, a,nd she was arrested in Bel- grave-road. Detective Collins took her into custody, and when the warrant was read over to her she denied that she stole the money. At Moseley-street Police-station she began to cry, and said, "1 will tell you the whole truth, but Barker has threatened to shoot me if I tell you." Barker, interpolated Mr. Baker, was the young man Bernard Barker, who had been committed to the assizes on a charge of shooting his sweetheart in Son- street. Stayed at New Brighton I About a week before I went away," con- fessed the girl, I met Barker at the skating rink, and he told me to steal some money from my mother and go away with him to America. I went and got the money from the bank, and Barker bought railway tickets for me and Peate. another girl, and put us into the train for Manchester. He told me when I got there to send him a telegram giving him the address of my apartments. I did as he told me, and sent a telegram to the General Post Office in the name of De Vere to be called for next day (Sunday). Peate and I met Barker and Wright (another young man who accompanied Barker) in Manchester, and we all four went to New Brighton, putting up at the Ferry llotel. We were supposed to be the De Vere troupe of acrobats, who were going to America. We remained there till Thursday in sepa- rate bedrooms—two girls in one bedroom amd two chaps in the other. When I came down to breakfast on that morning Wright was there, but Barker had not come down. Miss Peate told me that after I left the bedroom Barker came into the room, went to my clothes, and took something out of my pockets. Whan I returned I found e56 wae missing from my pockets. I told Barker what Miis Peats had said, and he replied (produc- ing a revolver) that he would shoot me u I said he had stolen the money or if I told the police. "Dyed His Hair. I We stopped there till Saturday. Barker then gave me 50s., and told me and my friend Ethel to clear out, as he did not want us any longer. Peate and I went to J' ajichester, where we remained until thds morning (Feb- ruary 26). When we came to Birmingham she said, I have some cartridges in my box at the station which I took from Barker and Wright, who both had loaded revolvers on them. Barker and Wright have cowboy hats, and Barker has dyed his hair." Mr. Baker, in conclusion, said the mother was anxious not to prees the charge against her daughter. She was only too pleased to have her back again Replying to Mr. Barradale, Detective Collins said that the youth Barker stood committed to take his Mai at the assizes on the charge of shooting the girl Elsie Watts with intent to murder her. He was admitted to bail. Prisoner, who made no reply to the charge, was then committed to the assizes for trial, bail being allowed—herself in £ 100 and two sureties of £ 50 each.

Tale of a Double Life HUSBAND AND WIFE FAINT IN COURT A man and his wife both fainted in Mary- lebone PoLice-oourt yesterday during the hearirng of a charge of attempting to oommit suicide against the man-William Cameron Waller, aged 42, a civil engineer. Waller wore a frock coat and carried a silk bat Police-constable Pain stated that about midnight on Saturday the accused stopped him in Kentish Town-road and said, Con- stable, I want you to take me. I am going to poison myself. I have taken one lot and harve got some more here." He then drew from his pocket a bottle marked Toothache acid." He was taken to the police-station, where he callapeed, and an emetio was administered. Well, Nohat is this all about?" asked the magistrate. The accused made no answer, but fainted, and had to be carried out of court. "I find from his wife." explained a con- stable, "tlhat he has been torying to keep two homes going. That is what is troubling him, I think." The wife, a good-looking young woman, came forward to give evidence, bu.t before she could reach the witmessfaox she, too, .fainted and had to be carried out of court. It was stated that Waller had held a good position in the engineering world a.nd had superintended important work in London. The accused sta,ted that he had been robbed. "My downfall has nothing to do with the double life at all." He promised not to attempt to take his life again and was bound over.

MISS M. COOPER'S VISIT Miss Margaret Cooper is distinctly an artiste of quality. Not only does she sing I daintily and, play her own accompanimente with a deftness that in itself is oharming, but She ports in as well little touches of quite subtle acting. With a curl of the lip or a twitch of the eyebrow or a tilt of the nose, she contrives to convey almost as much meaning and point as if she were at large on the stage, and had consigned all the cares of. the aooompaniment, to the hand conductor. Hers is a sweetly pretty voice and flexible, and she gets everything out of it. All this explains why on the oocaeion of hear second visit she created such an impression at the Cardiff Empire on Monday night. There are other remarkably good turns on the pro- gramme this week. Mise Gertie Gitana is somewha,t original in manner and method, and sings a trio of good songs in Swept Caroline," Queen of the Cannibal Isles," and The Old Dut-oh Bonnet." La Berat, the mystic grotto dancer, appears in a new terpsiohnrean creation fun of artistic beauty, charm, and gorgeous transformation, includ- ing her fascinating dance whilst seemingly enveloped in flames of fire. Hers is an impressive and remarkable piece of stage- craft. Will H. Fox is described as a mono- loarist without a peer. He has an unlimited fund of anecdotes, and can play the piano as well with his foot and Ms nose as he can with his fingers. The Coloured Meisters are four black troubadours, who have visited Cardiff before, and are known to sing with much charm and finish. Leo Tell, a master of mimicry, imitates the sou n'ds of sixteen musical instruments, as well as clever imita- tions of animals, birds, Ac.

I Passing Pleasantries. He: Nellie, just look at the/t man stand- ing behind me. I don't think I ever sam anyone 00 plain! She: Hush, dear; you forget yourself! "What do they mean by the rising pemera- tion, m?" M, the people who cam afford to have air- ships, sonny." 11 llivTIlat, sir," asked the large man with the bulging biceps and the ponderous fist as he glared at the slim gentleman who had aocridefntally stumbled over his toes, would you say if I were to tell you that you were am awkwa-rd idiot and an annoying chump ?" I ahcmld at once say," replied the other mam, who had enjoyed the advantage of a oouree in the Diplomatic Service, that you had the courage of your convictions." Farmer Grab's brook is noted for the number and size of its eels. Fishing thereon is strictly prohibited," which in itself is attraction enough for the small boy. The other evening an urchin was leaving the neighbourhood rather hurriedly when a youthful friend inquired:— "Caught anything, Bob?" Yes," replied Bob. "Eel?" No, toe!" Has friend understood, and wisely decided to turn back with Bob. M.r. Fullafoash was obdurrate, and young Poorly was broken-hearted. No, sir!" cried the hard parent. "You sbnll not have my daughter." "But. fsir-" "No—I say no!" A strange light of defiance sprang into the young man's eyes. "Very well, air. If you will not agree, I must use force." he replied. "I am con- sidered a good-looking, haird-working young fellow, and yet you spurn me?" "I do!" Then, sir, I will make love to your cook. In a. week we will ek»pe!" The rich man paled. Horror of horrors! He was cornered, outwitted, beaten. Don't say that!" he gasped. Such con- duct is inhuman. Our cook! She is a jewel! No, no; not for all my millions! Take my daughter!

WOMAN'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH I The Buxton' coroner yesterday adjouJrlncd an inq-uest concerning the death of Mrs. Jessie Ruehworth, the wife of a. local butcher, pending a request to the Home Office for authority to analyse the contents of the stomach a-rad other organs. The hus- band stated that the deceased had been in the habit of taking intoxicating drink which she got neighbours to fetch for her. In the first week in January she fell downstairs, but recovered from the effects of the mjua-ies. Dr. Sawdon, who had been attending the deceased lady, said he did not feel justified in giving a certificate as to the probable cause of death, and after a post-mortem examination he did not then feel justified in saying what wias the cause of deatih.

Torday, who, with Mr. Hilton Simpson and Mr. Norman Hardy, made an expedition between October, 1907, and September, 1909, to investigate the native tribes in the Kasai Basin, in the centre of the Belgian Congo. Mr. Torday said that amongst the Basongo Meno tribes belief in transmigration was found. One of the most interesting points among the Bankutu tribe was their use of a conventional throwing knife as currency. The Bakutu were almost the only tribe of this region who had been successful up to the present in resisting the advance of the white man. This fact was due to their skill in forest warfare. The way leading to their village was defended by poisoned spikes hidden by leaves. They used bows and arrows set like traps in the form of primitive spring guns, and were quite ready, if a white man was expected, to bait such traps with a live baby, being sure that the Europeam would be unable to resist the temptation to pick up an apparently abandoned child. The poison they used was absolutely deadly. Never Crossed by White Men I The expedition, Mr. Torday continued, entered the territory of the Bakongo, never before crossed by white men. The "coinage" of the tribe took the form of bars of iron weighing 21b., and valued in English money at exactJy sevenpence. Concerning this, Ma-. Torday told an entertaining story. As soon as the people heard that the travellers' stock of iron was nearly finished, they began to show hostility. "The chief brought about the climax by ostentatiously stealing our chickens, and this was, of course, a declara- tion of w.ar. IVe were not in a-a, easy situa- tion, for, though we could have held our own in the event of a breach of the peace, we should have had to fight our w-ay back to civilisation. "At length a less important chief gave me the means of an escape from the difficulties: After the theft of the chickens, he came to me and ex-plained that he had no bad inten- tions himself, but that the great chief had deoided to kill us. I replied that if he wanted war he oould have it, and I would slay all his people with my elephant. For- tunately, among the many objects which we carried about with us was a clockwork elephant, whioh was capable of waving its trunk amd hnmantog and walking alone. Relying on the imagination of the negro, I proposed to show him my elephant. "An Uncanny Beast." I "Mr. Hilton Simpson acoordingly took him before my tent, which I entered. I wound up the elephant, and made it wallk on some boxes, and then the tent door was thrown open. Our friend, seeing the uncanny beast, wanted to run away..Mr. Simpson insisted thwt he should have another look, but this was too much for the chief, for, shouting, I am going to fetch those chickens which I have stolen,' he ran ibaok into the village, and in a few minutes our property was restored to us. I follawed up my victory by proposing to fight everybody and everything with my elephant, and threatened to set fire to the rivers. To illustrate our powers, we burnt some whisky, and this quite convinced the natives that the white men were able to destroy anything. They were naturally very keen to get rid of the magician, so the next day they volunteered to oarry our loads to another village called Makusu."

"IT 18 MY CHILD." A married woman applied to tihe FeMnam, justices yesterday for a summons against another woman at Hamwortih to compel her to .return her child to her. She explained that she had lived in the woman's house aft JJanworth, and tihat when she wenit to live elsewhere the woman refused to let her take the child away, and had since refused to let 'her have it. The Chairman: I suppose she got fond of it herself ? Applicant: Yes, bn't it is my dhfld, and I aim entitled to have A. The Chairman said he was afraid the Bench could DOt, grant a samimons. The Deputy-clerk: You can watch the house and take' the child when you see it. AppLioamt: She doesn't give me that ohanoe, or I would have had it before now. Eventually a police-cons table was asked to go to the house to see what he could do in the matter.

BABY-GIRL'S DESIRE I Just as a train was about to leave Tun- bridge Wells for London yesterday a pas- senger notaoed in a second-claee carriage a. balby girl all alone. lin reply to his query as to where she was going and who was with her, the child stated that tlhe was going 00 I Lond)on to see her "Auntie." The passongelr called the guard, and the little girl was lifted ox*: She said she wanted to see her "Auntie in London." Her mother had told her to wait and go with her, but, as she thought this would be a long time, she was going alone. Inquiries were made, and it was found thait the child was the daughter of a local lady, named Mrs. Bradbury. Mrs. Bradbury had once takeil her daughter to London, and Dorothy had been very anxious to repeat the v.ifrit. The child remembered the right plat- form, and selected an empty compartment, the door of which was opened for hear by an unsuspecting porter.

ROLLEft SKATING AT CARDIFFI The American Roller Rinik in Westrate- street, Cardiff, is pursuing its way with every indication of success. The music of the mili- tary band is much enjoyed. The harmony of the proceedings is enhanced by the easy- runnung W ins low skates, courteous atten- dants, and the evident desire of the manage- ment to omit nothing which can conduce to the comfort and convenience of the rinkera. The Olympia Rink. Queen-street, is a favou- rite resort at all the seesions of habitues of the popular pastime, and the highly polished floor adds to the number of the devotees. The poetry of motion is seen here in perfec- tion, and the interest of those who watch from the balconies and other ffoints of 'vantage shows that much pleasure may be derived even for those who hold aloof from participation. An excellent band is in attend. ance at the various sessions, the hall is prettily decorated, and everything1 is done to make the patrons a« comfortable as possible. M.r. W. O'Keefe is genial a-nd courteous in supervision.

GIRL'S FAREWELL LETTER I An inquest was held at Gillingham, Kent, yesterday on Ruth Louisa. Ooultiam, aged eighteen, a domestic servant, who was found dead with her head in the oven of a cooking- stove with the gas turned on. She left a lengthy farewell letter, in whioh she declared that heir act was not the reeuit of insanity. She proceeded: My life has been a, strange one, and I have gone through more sorrow tha-n most girls of my age. May God spare my step- mother so that her children may not know what it is to be motherless, as I and my dear brother did. I hope father will not ltft this trouble him. I have never been understood by him nor by anyone else. There is only One Who knows iihe work- ing of our hearts, and He will take me home, and all will be explained. In my life I have been unfortunate, it seems, but all will oome Tight- iO the end—of that I have no fear. It was stated that deceased was subject to fits of depression. A verdict of ".Suicide I rinrinfr tmrirvarn/rv insanity" was returned.

Falling In Love I WHYBEAUTIFULWOMEHSHOULDMARRY I Blushes and laughter from a bevy of girl etudents assembled in the lecture room of the Bedford College for Women yesterday afternoon greeted Professor W. M. Inge's suggestion that a knowledge of emgeniics would tend to prevent girls from falling in love with the wrong men. "I do think a certificate of sound health should be one of the things insisted upon before marriage. The insurance policy is really more important than the marriage aettlement. Some knowledge of eugenics," he added, "would in many oases prevent fall- ing in love with the wrong people. "Unconsciously, as it is, we are much guided by eugenic considerations. Generally, a man's attraction for a woman was attri- butable to his fine and strong physique; and, in the same way, the points of beauity in women were those which belonged to her womanhood. But some training in eugenics would enable a young man or woman to detect those signs of degeneracy whioh are obvious to the scientific eye." Physical Degeneration The professor boldly advanced it as the duty of every beaut,iful woman to marry. She owed it to the raoe. On the other hand, people should not be too scrupulous, because "physical health is not everything, and many families physically defective are yet of great use to the community." Physical degeneration in this country is going on at an alarming rate, Professor Inge believes. He went so far as to say that if the process continued at its present rate, in three more generations the English stock, which a few years ago was one of the besii in the world, would be one of the poorest. In all his travels he had never seen poorer Specimens of humaanity 'than those in the English slums; and it had become a serious problem that the more civilised fbhe StSite the more the PK)DtkLitdon"w,aa increased from the most undesirable stocks. "The strong social sympathy which refuses to allow the weaker members of the com- munity to perish, seems to be increasing the evils we want to cure."

WASHINGTON NO SAINT I There is at least one minister in New York who has the courage of his opinions, and who expresses them, if bluntly, thougth a recent speech of his is tawuibEng his congrega- tion. During tfoe Wlasfadimgitom celebrations the Rev. Dr. Bulas P. Jodtnotsn made his audience at the Washington Headquarters Association of New York gasp by his view of the "Bather of his Country." "I am gtlad to see," lie said, "that modern biographeirs and historiajis have ceased to make Washington a plaster of Paris saint with a tin halo." "Washington, was an intensely human character," continued Dr. Johnston. "He was a man among men. lIe was fond of fox-hunting and horse raoos, and ho drank a-lso. He even swore, we are told, and I am glad of it, because there are times when a good oath seems to be, the most natural vent for a man's emotions,"

STOLL'S PANOPTICON, CARDIFF I Splendid again is the programme presented I a.t Stoll's Panopticon, Philharmonic-hall, St. Mary-street, Cardiff. The items, individually and collectively, seem to be unsurpassable. The principal feature on the bioscope is that' which illustrates in twelve tableaux the pathetic atory of The Little Teacher." The thrilling anecdote throbs with pathetic intensity, and it all concentrates about the history of the little teacher and her incor- rigible pupils and the interestingly romantic sequel. It should be noted tha;t this is the second amd last week of Master Sydney Nortoott, the phenomenal boy pianist, and his younger brother, little Stafford, the violinist, whose performances were received with plaudits, and were repeated in response to irresistible re-calls. Mr. John C-hilds, the Cardiff baritone, specially engaged for a season, had the spontaneous reception which is the lot of a public favourite. In brief, it may be said that the entertainment for pictorial illustrations and vocal accom- paaiiment is in every sense up-to-date. -MUi—■—Qll.fc

LADY CYCLIST'S DEATH I A settlement was announced in London yes- terday in the case of Byatt and another Y. the Kriegeir Electric Carriage Syndicate, Limited. Mias Ivy Byatt, daughter of Mr Henry Byatt, novelist, while cycling on the evening of Jdne 30 last at Quec«i's Gate, was ka-ocked down by an eleotrio brougham belonging to the defendant company, which, it was admitted, was going slowly. She died of her injuries.

"Caged in an Asylum" "JACK THE RIPPER" MYSTERY REVIVED The old mystery of the identity of "Jack the Ripper," the whose atrocities in Whiteohapel thrilled all England some years ago, has been revived by an article in "Black- wood," from the pen of Sir Robert AndersKxn, who was chief of the Criminal Investigation Department at the time, and a. protest tihat has been entered again-st,ana,sertionhemcude in the oourse of that article that the mur- derer was a Jew. Sir Robert declared that t'he man was known to the authorities as a "sexual maniac, who was eventually caged in an asylum," and that he was not brought to justice simply because a fellow-Jew, who knew him to be the murderer, refused to denounce one of his own race, and "with- drew" a positive identification. Speaking to a. press representative, Sir Robert Anderson remarked that to cast a reflection on the Jewish community in what he wrote had been farthest from his mind, and in stating that the murderer was a Jew he was only mentioning what was a fact. Curiously enough," said Sir Robert Ander- son, there was, so far as we know, only one man who was able to identify Jack the Ripper—to point Mm out and say, That's the murderer; I recognise him as the ma.n.' This man, when he found out that the mur- derefr was a Jew, immediately went baok on what he had said-he refused to stand to the identification—and so nothing more could be done in the matter." The murderer was a sexual maniac of a very virulent type," he went on to remark. He was a quiet and harmless individual in the ordinary way, but when the paroxysms came upon hdan his ferocity knew no bounds." Iteoalling that all the murders were com- mitted within a certain Area, Sir Robert remarked: We knew that the murderer must live within that area, and we felt, further, that either he was a man living by himself or that his people were shielding him, for he must have gone home drenched with blood. If you remember the murder in Miller's Court you will recollect that the, place where the body was found presented a terrible spectacle. Blood was splashed all over the walls. The mu-rderer could not have escaped being smothered with blood."

An Electric Car Driver A" ?? f 'r ,r, ;1 .f Influenza, Debility, Lassitude Of course, some are cured quicker than others, but all are cured, at witness the transformation of Mr. Gilbrook—at the eleventh hour almost. Mr. Gilbrook did not care what happened, so woefully affected was he by influenza, debility, yet in the twinkling of an eye seemingly, Phosferine plucked him from the depths of despair and changed the whole outlook of his life. Now he is a happy man again, and can feel the difference which others can see; all the weakness, depression and lassitude have gone, and he is able to drive his electric car entirely free from nervous apprehensions. Mr. Gilbrook has derived such an excess of vigour and vitality, such a flood of energy from Phosferine he feels bound to tell other workers that so splendid a remedy as the Greatest of all Tonics is within everybody's reach. Always Cured. Mr. Alexander Gilbrook, 28, Fenton's Avenue, Balaam Street, Plaistow, E., writes A little while back I was taken ill with influenza, and it left me battered, utterly worn out, and unfit for anything. I could not sleep, had no appetite, suffered from debility, lassitude and my nerve was quite gone, so much so, that the traffic in the road worried and told upon me to an alarming degree. I did not seem to care much what happened to me. I am a dri-ter on the electric tram cars, and the work requires a great deal of energy and promptitude. The first day I returned to duty I could hardly stand, through weakness and the pain I experienced, and I began to give up all hope of ever getting well again, and I felt utterly dejected. I read a daily paper advertising Phosferine* and imagining I might obtain relief, immediately purchased a small bottle, and after taking the first few doses, I experienced a great relief, I felt myself improving wonderfully; the effect on my system was simply grand, and before I had nearly finished the contents of the bottle, was as well as I ever could wish to be. I write feeling assured that those suffering from the terrible after- effects of influenza may have cause like myself to be thankful that so splendid a remedy is within their reach.April 23, igog.
