For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DALNTY DISHES I Candle grease can be removed by robbing with eau-de-Cologne. Rub paint and varnish stains first with sweet oil and afterwards with turpentine. Sherry takes out claret, paraffin, blood; grease with ammonia and alcohol or chloro- form; and whisky will remove fruit stains from light or white materials. An easy way of cleaning copper utensils is to take a little common salt and vinegar, :zrix. and rub over the article to be cleaned; then wipe off with a wet rag. Afterwaxds polish with a little metal polish, and you will have a surface bright as gold. V^- Meringues and Kisses I 1; .¿.L. T'1 variety, to each white of egg used add two heaping tabiespoonfals of pulverised sugar. Beat the whites as stiff as possible, sift the SUM slowly into them, and stir until perfectly smooth. Spread over the pie or padding, sift a little sugar over the top, and bake slowly until lightly browned. If the oven browns too quickly, put a paper over the meringues without allowing it to touch. For an Italian meringue, boil one-fourth of a pound of sugar slowly with two table- epoonfuls of water; whtn it wiU form a long thread from the spoon pour it gradually into the wtifHy-whip.ped whites of two eggs, beating the eggs constantly while it is being added. Continue to beat for five or ten minutes after it has been taken from the fire. S p re. fire. Spread it over the pie or pudding, sprinkle the top with blanched split almonds, and bake in a moderate even to a pale brown. This makes an excellent frosting for fruit- cake, allowing it to dry in a barely warm oven. The secret of a perfect meringue is in the proper beating of the egg-whites and in the baking. For kisse;; a simple and pleasing recipe is to use the whites of two 3mall eggs beaten to a very stiff froth—90 stiff t,hat it will not fall from all inverted bowl-and stir into it I; one-fourth of a pound of pulverised ?u?a.r. ? flavour v.-ith a few drops of lemon, d or rose, and continue to beat until very light and stiff. Drop them in little cakes half the size of an egg and a little more than an inch apart on well-buttered notepaper, lay the paper on a half-inch board, and place them in a moderate own. Watch them care- fully, and as soon as they turn slightly cream-ooloured remove them from the oven. These are delicious just as they oome from the oven, but the soft inside may be scooped out and the shells placed in the oven again to dry very slowly witho-ut discolouring. When oool. fill the hollows with whipped cream, a spoonful of rich preserves or jelly, or with a mixture of chopped nut8 and stoned raisins mixed with a small bit of thick sweet cream. Then touch the edges of the meringues lightly with a little unbeaten white of egg and stick them together by twos to form a round kiss. Or four of the meringues may be stuck together to form a little basket, another one or two used to form the bottom, and a piece of angelica stuck on for a handle. Just before serving place them on individual plates and fill with whipped cream or with rich jam or preserve garnished with a little whipped cream. another way to make kisses is to mix two tablespoonfuls of oornflour into one pound of powdered sugar and stir them gradually into the istiffly-w.-hipped whites of two eggs. Bake on buttered tins in a moderate oven until very delicately browned. For chocolate kisses add two tablespoonfuls of fine)y-grated chocolate to two taoie- spooTtfuls of cornflour and one pound of powdered sugar, and stir gradually into two beaten eggs. J For oocoanut kisses add four tablespoonfuls] of grated coeoanut. Always bake in a moderate oven.—" Family Herald."

"A HEARTLESS OFFENCE" < 1 At Nottingham yesterday William Ponting, aged 25, described as a music-ha 11 artiste, was charged with obtaining various sums of money from Nottingham householders by false pr.ences. On June 13 last he called ai a number of working men's houses in the 6ubvkrhe of Nottingham, and, producing a < book, induced the occupiers to pay sums ( ranging from 7e. to 30e. under the impression that he was authorised to collect rents for I Mr. Gale, the estate agent, to whom, how- 1 ever, he was a stranger. The magistrate i described the offen-ce as a heartless one, and < sentenced the prisoner to six naonthe I hard, i labour, to begin on the expiration of a six 1 months' senstenoe which he was now under- I going. t 1

AGED KING'S TROUBLED LIFE I The Emperor Francis Joeeph is not only I a great King, but he is also a warm friend, and it will be interesting to see whether his I efforts to effect a reconciliation between the Kaiser and the Duke of Cumberland are suc- oessful. There are few persons who have had to bear greater private sorrows than the aged monarch (says the "Globe His beaaiti- ] ful wife was assassinated at Geneva in 1897 (previous attempts had been made on her and t her Boyal husband); the only eon committed t suicide; while the Crown Princess Stephanie, 1 by marrying Count Lonyay, sacrificed her t rank and position, within the Austrian monarchy.

RE-VACCINATION IN NAVY Because he reffused to be re-va<xnnaied, A. W. Brooker was discharged from the Boyal Marines, but, Gokmel Kawaon, M.P., took up the matter, and has received a notification from the First Lord of the AdmiraJty that the 'nan is to be allowed tc re-join to complete hib time for a pension.

Skeleton in a Field SUSPECTED MURDER OF A BOY I 1 In a, small country place near Lille much speculation was caused by the disappearance of a twelve-year-old boy. who was semt to the village to buy a ioaf of bread a month ago. His skeleton has now been found in a field. The boy was given a small sum of money on July 12, and was told to go to a certain baker in the village. lie was never seen again, and had not been to the baker's. The tJOY had been employed on a farm, and his mother and uncle and several brothers and sisters were elfeo forking at the same place, or on neighbouring farms. His uncle and a brother, aged 17, were mow- ing in a field, when the former's scythe struck some bones, lie looked, and was asto- nished to find a skeleton, from which the flesh had apparently been picked by crows. A gen- darme wa.s informed, and the skeleton was1 examined. There were suspicions at once, which were scon afterwards confirmed, that the remain,? were these of the miseing boy. A pair of sock- .ind round his neck a pair of braces, with which he had apparently been strangled, were sufficient to identify him. The conclusion was that he had been mur- dered. Not long afterwards the unfortunate lad's c'.othps were discovered in another part of the field, uteo-the handkerchief in which he llild tied the few pennies for the bread. His arms h, d appa.rgntly been tied behind his back before he was strangled. The police have no cluo ae to ■who the mur- derer" rruiy be. At the time of the dis- appearance diligent inquiry was made in all parts of the country, and there was nothing t4) arouse suspicion. Now, fer the want of a better clue, suspicion has fallen on a wan- daring farm hand who had been employed in the neighbourhood, and who has not been seen since the boy's disappearance.

50 Years' Service ALDERMAN MOSES OF NEWPORT. Al-ierman John Moses, J.P., the doyen of the Newport Harbour Board, was on Wed- nesday afternoon presented at the board meeting with a handsomely illuminated bwTd. The address was signed by the •chairman (Mr. John ltacaulay> and the clerk (Mr. A. J. Phillips). ALDERMAN JOHN MOSES. 1- Alderman Moses, who was most cordially received. was almost overcome with emotion on rising to reply. Practically the whole of his life, he 5ai-d, had been connected with the River Usk. He was associated with the busi- ness matters of the port nineteen years before he joined the harbour board. Begin- ning his business career at Newport in 1841, he had been con-nested with the river in various ways ever since. His father was in the service of the Ebbw Yale Company at Newport, and he (the speaker) was taken from school in his last illness to assist him in his work. In three weeks his father was dead, but the speaker had remained in the service of the company from that time to the present. In 1857 Mr. foses shipped the first cargo of rails made in the county of Monmouth by the Ebbw Vale Company, and that cargo was soon followed by several thousands of tone of rails for the United States Mid Canada. All the trade was done in the Old Dock (now called the Town Dock). In 1858 he started business on his own account -as a shipbr-oker, and in 1860 he was elected to the ha<i#>our board as a shipowner. That was his first introduction into the public life of the town and port. Five years afterwards he was elected on the town council. He recollected being conoorned in a small way in raising the first capital for the Alexandra Docks. The speaker romembered the cutting of the firsrt sod of the first Newport dock (the Town Dock), and he took part as a councillor in the ceremonyof cutting the first sod of the Alexandra Dock. He expressed his sincere thanks for the hand- some things which had been sa-td a bo at him, a.nd offered his hearty oomgratulatione to Mr. Maoaulay upon occupying the chair of the I board for the second time.

DEATH OF MR G. MORGAN, CARMARTHEN I There were expressions of regret on all hands at Carmarthen on Wednesday when. it became known that Councillor George Morgan, of Albert House, had. after a trying illness of about fourteen days, passed away from kidney trouble and complications. The deceased gentleman, who was a woollen manufacturer, was well known at all too fairs throughout West Wales. He was one of the most highly respected inhabitants of the ancient borough, and was the son of the .late Mr. William Morgan, currier, Carmar- then, having been born at Fforest Lan, iiir, LATE MR.

He was also member of the watch committee and of the executive and musical committees of the National Eisteddfod. In him the poor found a good friend. He was a Liberal and Non- oonformist. He is survived by ei?ht grown- up children—five gone and three daughters.

VEXED BY A WOMAN I A curious story of a woman's unwelcome attentions to a man was told to the Liscard (Cheshire) magistrates yesterday. There appeared before them a well-dressed woman named Agnes Clarke Edwards, or Bright. and the complaint against h-er was .that she had used threats to Harry a Liverpool commercial traveller, living in Egremont. It was srta-ted that the defendant claimed to be the wife of Mr. Bright, according to Scotch law, and that because be would not admit this he had been persistently annoyed by her. s'he had, it was alleged, followed him to his apartments, created scenes at his place of business, disturbed bio peace whilst quietly having a drink in a hotel, and on one occa- sion, when he jumped on a tramcar to escape her. she mounted a motor wagon and fol- lowed. She had, it was further stated, threatened to "hound him to utter ruin," "blind him with vitriol," to poison herself, and one day in an Kgramont street ehe attempted to staib Bright with a hatpan. Defendant, who denied the statements made against her, aid the root of the trouble was that Bright wanted to get rid of her in order to marry another woman. The Bench bound the woman over, at the same time expressing the view tha.t,. though she might have had some cause of complaint, it did not justify her behaviour. I

JACK TARS CHEER JAPS I Upon the Japanese cruiser Ikoma leaving Portsmouth y otter day to return to the Far Bast, messages of thanks for the hospitality extended to the officers and men were sent to the Com man der-in-Chief and to the mayor, and parting cheers-were exchanged with the men on the British warships in harbour.

Missing Baby Mystery DEAD OR ALIVE AND KICKING? The officials of several public charitable I institutions in Paris are at this moment greatly perplexed over a baby that has been confided to them, and which they have a rently lost. It cannot be supposed for a moment that. it is in a paper parcel forgotten on some shelf, or locked up in a desk. The fact, however, is tha,t a chubby little baby of twelve months that was in perfect health when it was confided to them is miss- ing. The mother of the boy fell ill some ten days ago and had to go to a hospital. The baby was handed to a public institution, and when the mother left the hospital she natur- ally asked for her boy. The officials were puzzled, and after a long inquiry the mother was informed that the baby coaild not be found. The next day, however, news pame that the baby had been disoo vered, a.nd the mother v,-P. asked to come and fetch it. To her surprise, she was offered a youngster twice the age of her own. She looked at the officials in wonder and asked wh-at they meant. But this is your child," they wanted to persuade her. "It is not," Ehe retorted. "Do you think I do not know my own boy?" The next information was that the boy had been taken to another institution, and that something strange had happened. I The distracted mother was taken there in an automobile belonging to one of the officials, and at the institution she was horror-struck to be told that her bay was dead and buried. He had been formally identified by his own father. This was the climax. The man who identified the baby may have been the father, but he certainly :as not the father of her habv. The fact is, another child that had died had been taken for her own and was buried under his name. There the perplexing I problem remains. Probably the baby is well, a.live, and kick- ing somewhere, but for the moment nobody can tell the mother where.

I BRITISH RUGBYISTS' TOUR I G. T. Pits. British Rugby Team 1 1 8 North-eastern Districts 118 BURGHERS DORP, Wednesday. I In delightful weather the British Rugby team opposed a fifteen of the North-eaotern Districts here this afternoon, and after a capital game. 1Il which the local side had quite as much of the play as their opponents, the result was a draw at eight points all. The British team were soon attacking, and I Neale crossed the Colonial line, while shortly afterwards Jones put the visitors further ahead with a fine try, which was converted by Stanley Williams. Following this. Young got over for the Colonials, and half-time was reached with the British side leading by eight points to three On crossing over the exchanges continued to be very even. After a time Young put on a second try for the Colonials, and Pocock was successful with the place-kick. From this point to the finish both sides struggled hard to secure the lead. but nothing further was scored.—Press Association Foreign Special. I The Rival Codes I A determined attempt to introduce the Association code at Tredegar is now being made by the formation of a company for the establishment of a professional Association club. The fcecretary is Mr. R. E. G. Spoors. "Our object." said Mr. Spoors to our repre- soenta.tive, is not to kill Rugby football in the district, a« yome people seem to think. In a town th ize of Tredegar I consider there is plenty of room for both codes." "What capital are you starting with?" The capital of the company is £ 500, divided into 1.000 shares of 10s. each The minimum capital-,f,25a-bas already been subscribed, and the allotment of shares has already been made." "You think that will be sufficient to give the club a good send-off?" Yes, ampie. "ft expect to take some good gates in the early part of the season, when the weather is good and the days long. We are in negotiation with a g-ood English com- bination to open the season about the middle of September. We feel confident that people will patronise the game when it is proved that they can see play of a good standard." "What about your ground?" We have been fortunate in that respect We have made an arrangement with the Tre- degar Cricket Club to play on their splendid ground. We have signed on. or are about to sign on, sixteen good players."

Duke and Miss Elkins MARRIAGE NOW REPORTED CERTAIN The Paris "Eclair" learns on good authority that the proposed marriage between the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins has not been abandoned, as has been stated. It is even said that the duke has overcome the Royal opposition to the match, and that his union to the daughter of the millionaire American Senator is considered as certain. Miss Elkins has been travelling lately with her mother in Germany. They left Baden Baden yesterday for Paris, where the duke is expected to arrive at the end of the week. The Duke of the Abruzzi is a son of the late Duke of Aosta and cousin to the King of Italy; his father was for a time King Amadeo 1. of Spain. He is known to fame not only as a persistent wooer, but as an intrepid explorer, and his mountaineering feats in the Himalayas and elsewhere have been remarkable for their success and daring. Miss Elkins is the daughter of Senator Elkins. a multi-millionaire American, with large interest in railways and coal mines It is generally believed that only the oppo- sition of the Italian Royal Family has stood in the way of the long-deferred match.

Mrs. Preston, having etatpd that her hushana for fourteen years had constantly beaten her, mentioned that he went to Hyde Park, and in consequence of what he heard there he became 'fettled." Mr. Mead: What happened in Hyde Park? Mrs. Preston: "I don't know. There was a meeting. Do you mean there was a suffragatte meeting there?" "Yes, I believe there was; it fettled him up." Cross- examined by the defendant's solicitor, Mrs. Preston denied that she nagged her husband.

I manner by Mr. Forsdike. who made many friends. Mr. Forsdike. in reply, said they had been good enough to invite him to Ludlow. The intimation th-it they intended to make a presentation oame as a surprise. He was g^ad to know ho had made maaiy iti-ienda daring the short time he was at Ludlow. They were defeated at the last election, and h{, could not deny it was a disappointment not at the result, but at the figures. He hoped that the next standard bearer of Liberalism would be nearer than ho had been. He felt deeply grateful to them, and if at ajiy other contest his services would be of any use he should be willing to come. He might tell them he should not contest South Shropshire again. The plate he should must highly value, and it would be put in a place where li-- could see it, and it wonid remind him of his good friends of South Shropshire. He felt that the people of England were coming round to their way of thinking. He thanked them from the bottom of his heart for their presentation and great kindness (Applause.)

Mr. ilay. vrood was wearing a diamond ring, and the girl admiring it, asked permission to wear I it for a time. lvhile walking later in Bond-etreet the girl I introduced the male prisoner as her brother. I Aifterwards the male prisoner said. My sister tells me the has dropped the ring down the neck of her dress. It's very unfortunate. What shall we do?" Eventually the girl went into a private house and returned with, the ring. I Waited in Vain »Aext day Mr. Haywood again met the girl by appointment, and allowed her to wear t'he £ 70 ring. While shopping in Oxford- street she went into Messrs. Bourne and Kollingsworth's and for two hours—until clc.^ing time-in fact, prosecutor waited for her in vain. Next morning he received a letter:— Dear Mr. Haywood,—I can't think how we lost each other to-night. I wae only in the shop about twenty minutes, and when I came out I could not see you anywhere. After waiting half an hour I gave it up, and felt very disappointed. Will you meet me to-morrow afternoon at five o'clock at the same place? Do come.-Yours, love, EVA. I We are Man and Wife" That very morning the male prisoner I pawned uce ring for £45. Mr. Haywood went to keep the appointment, but waited ia vain- for two hours, but there was no Eva. and no ring. Finally the police were informed. When the couple were arrested the girl said: "This gentleman is not to blame. I told him Mir. Haywood gave me the ring. It was wrong, but it was a great temptation, and we wanted to get married." The man added: "We are man and wife We were only married at twelve oclock to- day. I don't want to Might this romance," added oounsel to the jury, "and if 711 I e inclined to Ibt.,iiiy sympathy operate in their favour certainly do to, but you have a duty to perform." I The hearing was adjoairned.
