EDUCATION AND STARVATION i Sir Ernest Shackleton, who opened a fcaxaar yesterday afternoon in aid of the Bouth London Police-court Mission and the go", Shelter Home Building Fund, said he Wae tetter a.t opening a tin of sardines than t haMAr. He had it brought home to him. when he was down Routh and almost starv- ing, that there was very little difference between the eduea,ted and the uneducated nsa when it came to broad facta like starva- tion. If the great middle classes were put down in the streets, he said, they would have more cases in the police-court than there were at present.

From All Quarters I An unprecedented boom in the woollen trade is reported by Scotch woollen manu- facturers. The Hon. Mrs. Tighe and Lord Fitzgerald travelled from Ireland to England by the Fishguard route yesterday. Mr. Harry Ferguson, a Belfast aviator, is suffering from concussion of the brain after a 50ft. fall in his flying machine, which was OTertarned by a gust of wind. As an outcome of the explosion at the Royal Gunpowder Factory at Waltham Abbey on Monday the workmen employed in the danger" buildings have arranged to hold a demonstration to protest against the system of driving. According to a Kent journal the Wahner (Kent) Council have received the sum of 2a. from A Christian who, some time ago, broke a lamp glass belonging to the council." He felt that his. conscience pricked him for his wanton act. During the reiiovation of the cathedral at Aix-la-Chapelle, workmen have brought to light the coffin containing the remains of the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III. (980-100i). British Dominions beyond the seas, as well as inoustrial centres in this country, have promised support to the Festival of Empire and Imperial Exhibition, it was reported at a council meeting. Eight oxen and about a doeen pigs were roasted whole at open fireplaces in the main streets of Stratford-on-Avon yesterday for the statute fair, which has been held since Elizabethan times.

The Man in the Street. I v It is to he feared that if it were not for the occasional warnings received from Colonel Bruce Yaughan some of us would almost forget the existence of the Cardiff Infirmary. As it is. that overdraft of £ 20,000 has become so familiar as to almost • render it subject, to the contempt I reserved for very old friends who are good enough to put up with any treat- ment that would break the heart of a dog. Certainly it required the eloquence of tin Infirmary's best friend to remind the public that there is not only the over- draft. but its anniiil cost of close on £ 1.000. Add to this the loss of quite as big a sum by deaths,, removals from the district, and the unsettled state of the coaifie!d that made people button their pockets up. and it becomes patent that it is time somebod y spoke. Better still for those wondering what can be done with their money, there is urgent need of another £2.000 a year before the new wing is opened and a little matter of an additional annual income of 1!6.000 afterwards. Really, these sums are nothing compared to the wealth in the Cardiff district, and Colonel Bruce Yaughan has only to be heard to meet with an immediate and a handsome response. For the crodi: )f the district, it is to be hoped so. at any rate. That marriages are affected by exports should prove a peculiarly interesting idea to South Walians. Mr. G. T. Bisset-I Smith continues in the October Empire Review his article on u The Approach- ing Censns," dealing this month with some aspects of population. He says that the marriage-rate of England is affected apparently as a whole by the value of exports, the marriages going up and down synchronously with the exports. Thus. a curve of value of exports is followed fairly closely by the fluctuations in the yearly number of marriages. Sex distri- bution also affects the nuptiality of a country. In most populations there are more women than men. But more boys are born than girls, the ratio being about 207 to 200. The male death-rate is, how- ever, higher than that of the female, partly because men lead harder lives. The largest aggregate of population ever united under one political control, the British Empire is also the most varied in condition, physical and sociologicaL The Empire contains more than a fourth of the population of the globe, and more than a fifth of its inhabitable area. Its growth during the la^t thirty years np<¡ been from a population of 235 millions and an area of about 7,770,000 square miles, to 420 millions and an area of about 12,000,000 square miles; while its tiade is about one-third of that of the whole world, thus accounting for its immense wealth and predominance. According to the high optimism of some people, the day may come w hen a weekly wash may not be considered sufficient. It is a mere truism to state that the domestic and the ,?urgical conceptions of cleanliness are leagues asunder. Yet, little by little, the higher ideal which we owe to the researches of Pasteur and Lister may (the British Journal thinks) confidently be expected to per- meate society, reacting in innumerable ways upon the habits of gentle and simple, until a time may come when our descendants may look back upon us with something of the incredulity, not to say horror, provoked in us by the records of unwashed Medievalism. To the man of that halcyon age the vision of a twen- tieth century youngster picking an apple from the ground and eating it, skin and all, after a preliminary polish with the palm of a grubby hand, will appear typical of our primitive disregard of matters hygienic. In these days barbers will sterilise their implements, and to eat strawberries bought in the public mart without precautions against infection will be regarded ad the act of a hmatic." While to pick up another fellow's glass in « moment of abstraction will be rendered impossible. It is always refreshing to hear Lord Tredegar speak, and those who have heard him once must always regret that ootd type cannot reproduce the cheery smile and the twinkle of his keen eyes when the Balaclava hero is reported. Printers and journalists are great powers in the land, but, like science (as his lord- ship reminded the Baasaleg Farmers' Association), they cannot do everything. But having seen the smile and having heard the wit-laden voice of the veteran humourist, it is easier to imagine the manner in which the good things are delivered wherever the champion basaar- opener rises to inspire laughter and remvwed good feeling towards a world made merrier and better by his optimistic outlook on a life that is mostly grey. It has come to Lord Tredegar's notice that the breakfast table is under the rule of the analyst. As a rule, a straight- forward fellow has no need to assert his honesty, and when a man goes out of his, way to do so it is an infallible sign that there is something wrong somewhere. In the good old days that the noble viscount knew better than most of us, we were able to get pure and wholesome food. Nowadays, as he pointed out, everything is analysed, which is almost the same as saying it is not what we would like it to be. But, having recognised the fact, one has to remem ber that it is no good kick- ing against the pricks, and the only thing to do is to patiently await the coming of the Millennium. To his other conquests, Lafayette, the magician of the Cardiff Empire, adds the bearding of a lion in his den, and the wonderful manner in which he foils the king of beasts and wins a bride from its cruel claws forms the chief story told at the crowded performances this week. For once, the miniature "Teddie Bears" have to take a back seat, and the quaint little performers are on the stage all too short a time. Of course, the centre of interest is the wonder-worker himself, and it is interesting to see the keen way in which the audience try to penetrate the mysteries petrated right under their eyes. Certainly, the existence of such a man goes far to prove that this is the age of miracles, and decidedly marvels never cease. Lafayette is given half of the entire programme, but the public never seem to tire of the magic of his wand. How his supposedly clay model of a beautiful woman comes to life is one of his most popular perform- ances. It is also one of the most picturesque, an d reminds one of the poses of La Milo, who, by the way, is paying a return visit to Cardiff next week. Talking in this way turns one's thoughts in the direction of the watch committee, who have been known to "hae their doots" concerning the living Hkoaumeot.

NATIONAL FUND Progress Up to Date l REMINDER TO THE WEALTHY I Progress in the aim to collect E300,000 for the double object of baffling con- sumption and perpetuating the manorj of King Edward has not been quite satisfactory, and we desire to make a strong appeal to the wealthy to come forward in this hour of need. Patriotism and sympathy can be shown by a donation to this deserving object, and every little helps. The police of South Wales are already doing noble work in this direction, and the leaders of the various religious bodies have expressed their heartfelt support with the scheme.

HIS DEVOl ED "WEE WIFE'. In the Divorce Court yesterday Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane granted a decree nisi and custody of the children to Mrs. Jessie Turner, residing at West Hampstead, on the ground of the cruelty and misconduct of her hus- band, Alfred Ernest Turner. The parties were married in 1892, and in 1908, while carry- ing on a jeweller's business at West Hamp- stead, respondent, it was stated, became attached to a young domestic who used to come to the shop. Ultimately the two went away together, and Mrs. Turner found a bundle of letters the girl had written the respondent. These were couched in the most affectionate terms, and the girl signed her- self "Your devoted wee wife."

FOOTBALL REFEREES The football season is ff" in its infa.ncy'l and the ?amee as yet are not so important or the excitement 8&0 intense as wiU be the case later on. Already, however, we have had several cases of demonstrations against referees. The plain fact of the matter is that many of our referees are wholly incom- petent to perform the task in hand. Some never have been competent, others have quite failed to keep pace with the times and the alterations in the rules, while some seem to be on the verge of old age pension" time, and are, consequently incapable of following the game at all closely.—" London Opinion-"

SCHOOLGIRL'S SUICIDE An inquest was held at Stone (Staffs) yes- terday on the body of a girl, named Elsie Shirley, aged thirteen years and eleven months, who was found drowned. She was the adopted daughter of Mr. Wood, and had an excellent home, but Mrs. Wood bad had occasion to reprimand her. On Monday morning she went to school and told a com- panion that, having had some trouble at home, she was going to drown herself. Later her body was found in the canal. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide during tem- porary insanity." 11

MR. ROOSEVELT'S SECRETARY I Mr. Roosevelt's secretary, Mr. Frank Harper, is a young Englishman who went to the States a oouple of years ago quite un- known, but with an introduction from the editor of a London daily to the manager of the Outlook." This led to his appointment as Mr. Kooeevelt's secretary. The ex-Presi- dent has a very high opinion of him, and the admiration is mutual. Mr. Harper was with Mr. Roosevelt throughout his European tour, when he bad such an experience as falls to the lot of few sercetaries.

DESTROYED WITHIN AN HOUR The clubhouse of the Home Park Golf Club was burnt to the ground yesterday. The fire, which broke out in the roof, was first noticed by Mr. George Brann, the secretary, who was'lunching in the club with one other member. The building was made almost entirely of wood, and in less than an hour the whole structure was destroyed.

IS CftlME DIMINISHING ? "People talk of the rapid diminution of crime and all that kind of nonsense," said the Maryiebone Police-court magistrate yes- terday when he was informed that E16 worth of books had been stolen from a rail- way bookstall in four months. How muoh crime, I wonder, goes undetected?"

Iceland J. P Kidnapped I ADVENTURE WITH TRAWLER SKIPPER I The trawler Chieftain, which was alleged to have carried off a magistrate and a revenue officer from Iceland, arrived at Hull on Wednesday night. The vessel had the magistrate and an Iceland pilot on board. The skipper, Edward West. in a statement regarding the incident said he was fishing five miles and a half off Iceland on the night of Friday last, when he was hailed by an Icelandic watchboat, and told he was fishing within the three-mile limit. The watch- boat interrupted their fishing operations, and finally steamed alongside. Two men, the magistrate and a pilot, jumped on board, and ordered him to haul his gear an come with them. The skipper declared he was not within 'the three mile limit, and refused to go, but the watchboat kept crossing the course in which the trawler was towing her I gear, until at length the skipper was com- pelled to haul his gear Wanted the Gunboat He offered, he states, to anchor until day- light, and to leave his buoys down as an indication of where the trawler was fishing, but the magistrate firmly refused to take any action, although the skipper suggested that he should wire for the gunboat to decide whether the trawler was within the limit or not. The skipper then informed the magistrate that he was going further afield to fish, and requested him to return to his own vessel. The magistrate did not do so, and the traw- ler proceeded at half-speed, the watchboat following in her wake. A strong wind arose, and the skipper finding it impossible to con- tinue his fishing operations, he left for Hull. The Danish Consul interviewed the magis- trate and pilot at Hull on Wednesday night. An International Question The Danish Consul at Hull, Mr. Pattinson, stated in an interview on Wednesday night that the magistrate and pilot had applied to him for assistance to take them back to Iceland. The magistrate claimed that he boarded the trawler when she was within the three-mile limit. The arrest was legal, and Skipper West should have awaited his trial in Iceland. The two men will be sent home. and nothing more can be done till the matter, which has developed into an international question, has been settled by arbitration.

TRAP FOR MOTORISTS The setting of a trap for motorists on New- port-road, between the power station and Rumney Bridge, by the Cardiff police was raised at a meeting of the watch committee on Wednesday by Councillor J. W. Courtis, who asked the head-constable the reason for the selection of that portion of the main road for that purpose. Mr. Courtis pointed out that there was not a house or a hedge on either side of the road in question, and that there was, therefore, not the faintest danger, even if the speed limit was exceeded. The Head-constable (Mr. W. McKenzie): The trap was set there because of the furious driving of a large number of motorists in that part of the town, and it was not done until it became absolutely necessary. Councillor Courtis declared that cars went down St. Mary-street at a speed of 27 miles an hour. The Head-constable pointed out that there was provision for dealing with reckless driving in St. Mary-street. The matter then dropped.

DAVID WILLIAMS MEMORIAL A meeting of the committee iif connection with the David Williams Memorial was held at the University College, Cardiff, on Wed- nesday evening. There were present Sir Marchant Williams (president), Dr. T. W. Thomas (treasurer), Mr. T. Lovell (secretary), the Rev. C. Tawelfyn Thomas, and Messrs. D. Elias, J. D. Hughes, Thomas Jones, and R. R. Morgan. Tenders were received for the erection of a monument at Caerphilly, on a site to be provided by the district council, to the memory of Mr. David Williams, founder of the Royal Library Fund, draughtsman of the charter of the French Revolution, the friend and protector of Benjamin Franklin, author of the History of Monmouthshire, &c. It was decided that the tender of Mr. William Davies, Caerphilly, be accepted. The monu- ment will be in the form of an obelisk (15ft. high) on a pedestal, bearing the usual inscription, and also a portrait in bronze, it will be unveiled early next year

CARDIFF THE CITY The Town-planning Conference was resumed on Wednesday at the Guild-hall, London, when Sir Aston Webb, C.B., R.A., presided. Professor S. Baldwin Brown read a paper on The Cities of the Present," complaining that many architectural and even historical features were spoiled because municipal authorities permitted disfigurement of their cities for commercial and other causes. Mr. W. D. Caroe, F.S.A. (Westminster), in the course of the discussion which followed said that in Cardiff there was the finest town-planning scheme of any town in the country. Yet when they arrived in the town by train the first thing they saw was hoard- ings 40ft. or 50ft. high. Then they went aoross a river flowing through the town, which might be one of the most charming features of the whole place, but it was surrounded on both sides by hoardings and posters hundreds and hundreds of yards long.

J.Ps AND GAME, TRESPASS On September 20 the Newmarket (Cam- bridge) bench of magistrates sentenced Frederick Starling, aged 69, to a month's imprisonment without the option of a fine for being on land for the purpose of taking game, although the police stated that no previous oonvictions were recorded or any- thing known against him. At the same court the justices fined two poachers £ 5 and costs. One had eleven and the other fourteen pre- vious convictions, and both were described as notorious poachers. The matter was brought to the notice of the Home Secretary, who asked that the magistrates should be called together and their report on the case for- warded to the Home Office On the receipt of this report the Home Secretary wired the governor of Cambridge County Gaol to release Starling immediately. He has served 21 out of Z8 days.

CONCERT AT CARDIFF A new Cardiff organisation, The Society Set and the Georgians, provided an enjoyable concert for a crowded audience on Wednesday evening. Those present who took part were the Misses Rene Rees, Lily Lloyd, Dodo Rees, Williams, and Bishop, and Messrs. George Beer. H. Williams, S. Lewis. W. Greenman, Lace, Baker, Thomas, and Long. Miss Ethel Jenks was the accompanist, together with the Georgian Orchestra, under Mr. Shapland Dobbs. The Rev. G. E. S. Waring and Mr. Harding were the stage managers.

TEN TIMES ROUND WORLD Two Haverfordwest postmen, Messrs. George Rogers and James Davies, have retired on pensions after about forty years' service. Rogers entered the Post Office in 1870. For twenty years he covered the Clar- beaton Road district, and for the whole of I that period walked twelve miles a day. It is calculated that the two men' walked on an average eighteen miles a day, equal to 5,616 miles a year. Therefore, they must each have walked about a quarter of a million miles during their lengthy service, or ten times round the world.

I AWARDED COMPENSATION Before Judge Hill Kelly at Pontypool Oounty-oourt on Wednesday William George Harris, labourer, Llanhilleth, claimed com- !I pensation from Messrs. Partridge, Jones, and Co. in respect of an injury sustained through being run over by a tram in respondents' Llanhilleth Colliery on January 22, 1909. He I claimed compensation at the rate of 12s. 8d. per week from that date and during inca.paeity.-Hia Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed, with costs.

I AGENT OF DESTRUCTION I NEW YORK, Wednesday. Mr. John A. Dix, accepting nomination to- day ae Democratic candidate for the Gover- norship of New York State, denounced Mr. Roosevelt's new nationalism doctrine in striking terms. The present moment, he urged, was. perhaps. the only opportunity they would have of F3?,in ?, the march of this agent ^f destruction, and of reRtoring to the oonntry buoineas tranquility and peace.— OemtnJ Ne?t

Insult to the Board SCENE AT A PONTYPRIDD MEETINC The second meeting of the Pontypridd and I Rhondda Water Board was held at the Council-chambers, Pontypridd, on Wednes- day, under the presidency of Alderman W. H. Matthias, J.P and the proceedings were marked by a somewhat breezy discussion. which resulted in one of the members retir- ing from the room as a protest. A letter was read from the Pontypridd Dis- trict Council enclosing a resolution expres- ing disapproval of the appointment of any officer of the new board without the matter having being on the agenda convening the meeting at which the appointment was made. Mr. I;. S. ui-iftiths (Tonypandy) took strong exception to the terms of the communication, which had reference to the appointment of Mr. W. P. Nicholas as clerk. The resolution of itself was a harmless piece of literature, but if any resolution was necessary then it should have been couched in very much stronger terms. He thought that in the inte- rests of the public the simple facts of the case ought to be known. A motion that the clerk should be a member of a profession other than the legal was defeated, and like- wise a motion that the clcrk should be required to devote the whole of his time to discharge the duties of his office. When, however, the name of Mr. Nicholas was put forward, strange to say. none of the Ponty- pridd representatives moved an amendment. There was no counter-proposal. Mr. Arnott: The Pontypridd Council has made its protest, and there it is. The Chairman expressed the view that it would be better to take no notice of the matter, especially as the Pontypridd repre- sentatives did not wish the subject discussed. Mr. J. D. Williams (Clydach Court) thought it would be well, in the interests of all to ignore the matter. The Chairman: The Pontypridd represen- tatives wish no notice to be taken of it. We want to work in harmony together. Mr. R. S. Griffiths: We will never work in harmony in this way. It is practically an insult to the board, and especially to the clerk, and I wish personally to protest against letting the matter drop. Mr. Arnott: If you pursue it, I have my answer. Mr. R. S. Griffiths said he would welcome any rejoinder which Mr. Arnott might wish to make. The Chairman: There was nothing done irregularly. Mr. Griffiths replied that they were charged with proceeding on unbusinessli-ke lines. Ultimately the Chairman moved that the next question be dealt with, and this was agreed to. Mr. Griffiths: Then you will pardon my' leaving this meeting as a protest. Strong appeals were made by the Chairman and the other members to Mr. Griffiths to re-consider his decision. Mr. Griffiths, how- ever, walked out, remarking that he would consider whether he would return, but did not make his re-appearance.

COMPENSATION ACT I Statistics of compensation and of proceed- ings under tha Workmen's Compensation Act and the Employers' Liability Act, col- lected and tabulated by the Home Office during last year, were issued on Wednesday night in Blue Book form. This year there are available for the first time substantially complete returns from the seven great groups of industries—mines, quarries, rail- ways, factories, harbours and docks, con- structional works, and shipping. In these seven the number of employers in the returns is 117,391, and the average num- ber of persons employed was over 6i millions, of whom over 4J millions come under the heading of factories. Compensation was paid in 3,341 cases of death and in 332,612 cases of disablement. The average payment in case of death was 9154, and in cases of disablement L5 6a. THE AVERAGE CHARGE. The average charge for compensation per annum was 6s. 10d. per person employed, the separate averages being:— S. (t. Factories 3 5 Railways 7 1 Quarries 9 2 Shipping 10 8 Constructional works 14 11 Docks and harbours 16 8 Miners 20 1 In the coalmining industry the charge works out at about .8 of a penny per ton of ccal raised The total amount of compensation paid was £ 2,274,238, and allowing for industries not included in the returns, the total amount of compensation can hardly fall short of three millions. DISABLEMENT BY DISEASE. Compensation was paid in 33 cases of death from disease, and 3,313 cases of disablement by disease. Eighty-two per cent, of that total occurred in the mining industry, and of the remainder 497 were cases of lead poisoning. Only a very small proportion of the claims became the subject of litigation, the total number of claims settled in the courts being 3,087 for England and Wales, being less than one 111 five in fatal cases, and less than one in 200 in cases of disablement.

WESLEYAN CONFERENCE I The general committee appointed by the synods (English and Welsh) to make arrange- ments for the Wesleyan Conference being held in Cardiff next July. held its first meet- ing on Wednesday in the Wesley Schoolroom. The Rev. T. Hardy Banks, B.A., chairman of the district, presided, and the Rev. F. Russell Watson acted as secretary. There were present representatives from every part of the district, which extends from Newport to Pembroke Dock. The secretary of the con- fbrence, the Rev. Simpson Johnson, attended to aid the committee in making its arrange- ments. The Park-hall has been engaged to accommodate the conference meetings. Home accommodation has to be provided for nearly 500 ministers, and over 300 lay representatives will attend. About a score of outside meet- ings will be held to advocate the various blanches of the work done by the Wesleyan Church, and the places where these meetings will be held were provisionally arranged- The meetings of the conference extend over a fortnight. It is eighteen years since the I Wesleyan Conference held its meetings in Cardiff.

CARDIFF DOG SHOW A meeting of the Cardiff Dog Show Com- mittee was held on Wednesday evening, pre- sided over by Mr. W. Nicol. The final arrange- ments for the show on October 27 were com- pleted. The cup given by the president (Mr. D. A. Thomas. M.P.) was allotted as a mem- bers' challenge prize, Lord Ninian Stuart's cup for the best terrier in the show, and Captain Wilkie's cup for the best exhibit other than terriers. The secretary announced that there was every, prospect of a record being established. The following officers were appointed:—Show managers, Messrs. J. Morgan and G. T. Williams; stewards, Messrs. C. Hemming, H. J. McKenzie, W. Evans, E. S. Farthing. J. G. Coppock, V. A. Chabrel, J. G. Ayres, F. G. Crawshay, E. H. Bowcott, C. W. Parry, and H. Gunn; treasurer, Cap- tain C. J. Wilkie; secretary, R. G. Davies.

PUPILS' RAILWAY FARES A meeting of the Merthyr Education Autho- rity was held on Wednesday, Mr. Enoch Morrell, J.P.. chairman. presiding. The salaries committee recommended that hence- forth no car fares be paid to teachers living in Penydarrcn and serving in any of the town schools, that no car fares be allowed any uncertificated teachers appointed in future, and that railway fares be not allowed I to uncertificated teachers living in Aber- canaid or Pentrebach, and serving in the Troedyrhiw schools.—The report, however, was referred back to the committee. It was resolved to supply railway tickets at the beginning of each term to pupilB from the lower district attending the advanced elementary or intermediate schools.

CROMWELL AND WALES I The Cardiganshire Antiquarian Society paid I its first visit to Newcastle Emityn amd O&rdi- gan on Tuesday and Wednesday. In an I interesting paper on Newcastle Emlyn During the Civil War" the Rev. D. Pryee Williams (Brytbonydd), of Ffynonhenry, eaid there was a strong belief among the old inhabitants that Cromwell once visited Emlyn CaBotle, and that one Thomas James, of Parc- nest, made a bold attack upon his life. He (Mr. Williams) was of opinion that Cromwell was never at the place. When he visited Car- marthen, in May )648, he thought at one time to call at Emlyn on his way to Pembroke Castle, but somehow he changed his plan and went in another direction.

OLD TYPE OF WELSH COB I The Builth Wells branch of the Brecon and Radnor Farmers' Union on Wednesday resolved that the Board of Agriculture be petitioned to send suitable sires into Waleo to improve the breed of cobs, and thus endeavour to get back the old type of Welsh cob. which appeared to have been re-placed by the hackney, to the detriment of cob- breeding in the country. Furthermore, they petitioned the board to ensure the traveling II OM but sound sires of all hrmds.

Auction Sale Pathos I DISPOSAL OF CAPT. BRAUN'S C00DS Seized under a warrant issued by the Cardiff Stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) on September 14, the goods and chattels of Captain Paul Braun, master of the ill-fated Cardiff steamship British Standard, were sold on Wednesday without reserve. The auction, of course, formed a sequel to the now famous Board of Trade inquiry conducted by the stipendiary into the loss of Captain Braun a ship off Cape Frio on May 25 last, the master being ordered to contribute a thousand guineas towards the costs of the inquiry. The default of Captain Braun to comply with this order led to the Board of Trade's solicitor applying for the warrant, and the day after this was granted distress was levied by Inspector Bingham, of the Cardiff City Police, who remained in possession of the goods at Captain Braun's residence. 17, IV estbourne-roarl, Penarth. and under whose personal direction they were removed this week to the salerooms of Messrs. G-ottwaltz and Perry at High-street, Cardiff, where the auction was conducted by Mr. Davidv on behalf of that firm. Inspector Bingham was present with the authority for the sale, and one of the earliest arrivals was Captain Braun, who took a keen interest throughout, though he did not participate in the bidding in any instance. The circumstances under which these goods are offered are perfectly understood by you all: they have been sufficiently advertised," was the auctioneers opening remark, and the crowded attendance of buyers was an indication of the great public interest evinced in the sale and the circumstances connected with it. Over 210 lots were offered, ranging from the valuable contents of the drawing-room, which included a beautiful rosewood pianoforte by Otto, of the reputed value of sixty guineas, and of a well- appointed library, down to small lots of culinary articles. Bargain hunters had the opportunities they are invariably afforded at an unreserved sale, but there was keen competition for some of the rare articles which adorned the captain's drawing-room. The auction was naturally not without its element of pathos, and not even the hardest of the hardened oatronsofsales of a similar character could fail to be moved in some degree when what was stated to be a picture oll Captain Braun's mother was put up. No one seemed prepared to carry the bidding far, although the lot included other pretty paintings, and it was understood that one of the captain's friends had purchased the lot for him. An oil painting of Captain Braun, in a gilt frame, and other drawings of himself and near relatives did net pro- voke any competition, and were knocked down at a small figure to a gentleman who, it was taken for granted, was actuated by the desire to return these articles to the captain. Commencing at eleven o'clock, the sale continued until nearly three. I

TALE OF A BROOCH I Interest had not in the least subsided at Rhayader in the affiliation case between Annie Jane Thomas, West End Temperance Hotel, Bhayader, and John Pugh, Melin- gourne House, Bridge-street, Rhayader. grocer and insurance agent, when on Wednes- day the further evidence of Mr. Wood, Aber- ystwyth, a jeweller, was submitted. M" Martin Woosnam (Newtown) again appeared for complainant, and defendant was repre- sented by Mr Lincoln Reed. Cardiff (in- structed by Messrs. E. P. and A. L. Careless, Llandrindod Wells). At the previous hearing it was stated that defendant, who had been secretary of a local chapel, had resigned his membership just after the birth of the child. Mr. Lincoln Reed objeoted that Mr. Wood's evidence on the brooch incident at Aber- ystwyth was not material to the case. A further objection was that Mrs. Pugh, defen- dant's wife, was ill, and could not appear to give important facts. The Bench resolved that the additional evi- dence be admitted, and Mr. Wood then went into the box. He said he had a slight recol- lection of the parties ooming into his shop, and he had the name and address of defen- dant entered in his sales book under date September 21, 1909. He sold a gold brooch, a claw brooch, and a cake knife to a person on that date. The address was taken to for- ward one of the brooches on to the pur- chaser Mrs. Ellen Thomas, of Talmaerog, stated that she and complainant were out on the terrace at Aberystwyth on the morning of September 21, when defendant came up and took complainant in the direction of the jeweller's shop. Complainant re-joined her, and showed her the brooch. An order was made requiring defendant to I pay 3s. 6d. per week till the child was four- teen, and the usual costs.

HUSBAND'S DESERTION I In the Divorce Court on Wednesday (before Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane) the case of Slocombe v. Slocombe, a. wife's petition for divorce, was heard. Mr. T. Bucknill said Catherine Slocombe asked for a divorce from her husband, David Isaac Slooombe. on the ground of his cruelty, misconduct, and desertion. The parties were married on July 17, 1895, at Carmel Chapel, Aberdare. and lived at Aberdare and Swansea. There were two sons of the marriage, aged fourteen and twelve years respectively. The husband treated the peti- tioner very badly, and sometimes drank heavily. In January, 1903. while living at Swansea, he left her, and she was compelled to apply to the magistrates. She obtained a separation order, under which the husband was ordered to pay her 15e. weekly. In July of the same year she took her husband back, and they afterwards lived at Southampton. He did not give her money to provide food. He threatened her with a razor, and on one occasion knocked her down. On March 17 he left her, and did not go back. In October, 1908, he was sentenced at Southampton for failing to provide for his wile and children. When he left prison he went to London, and had never gone back. Evidence of misconduct was given, and a decree nisi, with costs, was granted.

RURAL DEAN'S ROMANCE I A sensatiom was caused at Sowerby I Bridge yesterday by the announcement of the engagement of Canon Ivens, rural dean and vicar, to Miss Annie Tate, daughter of an engineman formerly employed in the district. Canon Ivens has been vicar of Sowerby Bridge for 22 years. His wife died about twelve months ago, and the canon is now on a mission tour in New Zealand. Mr. Pollit, people's warden at Sowerby Bridge, said yesterday that he had received a letter from the vicar, saying that he had asked Miss Tate to become his wife, feeling that he oould not continue in his present state. The canon's age is 56 and that of his prospective bride about 20.

SYNAGOGUE IN FLAMES The Jewish Synagogue in Raven-row, Whitechapel, was practically destroyed by fire to-day, the morning of the Jewish "Black Fast." The outbreak is officially attributed to a mishap with a candle, aitd when the fire-brigades from the neighbouring stations arrived they found the building enveloped in flames. They accordingly confined their attention to saving adjacent property, in which they were, happily, successful.

A "THIRSTY" JOB I "On these ere jobs as a rule they do ask the driver to have a drink both going and returning," was the excuse made by William Herbert Bennett, who was charged at Black- pool yesterday with having been drunk whilst in charge of two horses and a funeral coach the previous afternoon in Whitegate Drive. He was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. and costs.

INSURANCE COMEDY I When a proposal to insure the Nelson Monument, a atone structure, against fire was laid before the Yarmouth Town Council a member suggested that it would be as well at the same time to insure the fountain.

MANOEL'S MOTHER I In a State of Collapse In a State of Collapge' | THE FLIGHT FROM LISBON i King Praises the Republicans Captain Mareira Desa, who commanded the Royal yacht Amelia during its historic voyage to Gibraltar with the members of the fallen dynasty. has given some interesting details of the journey. The revolutionary outbreak was wholly unexpected, and the summons to take the lloyal fugitives on board left little time for preparations. "We had scarcely two hours in which to do everything," said Captain Mareira Desa. "King Manoel bore up well, and bra-vely faced his misfortune. He was smoking a cigarette as he stepped up the gangway. "The Dowager-Queen Amelia and the Queen-Mother were naturally labouriug under great emotion. For an hour or so they gave way to tears, and were in a state of partial collapse. "Dom Affonso said little to the other members of the party. He appeared worried and anxious, and paced the deck for hours occupied by his own thoughts. "There was no champagne on board, a,nd the simple evening meal, which consisted of sardines, an entremet, witfi cheese and fruit, was washed down with Portuguese vin ordinaire. Queens Prefer Water I "It is a green wine and rather strong to I the 'taste. The King drank it without com- plaint, and declared that he enjoyed it. But the Royal ladies did not find it to their liking. and ultimately asked for water. The ship's cook was able to supply Brazilian coffee after dinner, for which the Royal fugitives were very grateful. The King Disgusted I During the night on board the Royal party conversed but little. They appeared to be the victims of care. and were evidently bowed down by the weight of the misfortunes which had overtaken them. King Manoel, being young and optimistic, was more cheerful than his companions. He was heard discussing the situation frankly with his uncle, Dom Affonso. He expressed a certain feeling of satisfaction with what had happened, and declared that he was atterly weary of bearing the burden of the crown of Portugal. "His Majesty spoke in strong terms of the disgust he felt with the army of sycophants and corrupt place-hunters who had sur- rounded the throne, and he did not hesitate to express his admiration for some of the Republican leaders, who, at all events, his Majesty observed, had shown courage and energy, whereas the warring sections of the Monarchist party had shown neither resolu- tion nor ordinary pluck." I gathered from my informant that the young King had felt very bitterly his com- plete desertion in the hour of trial by those who had always been foremost in professing their undying loyalty. Deserted by His Ministers As alL instance of this, it may be said that on the day of his Majesty's flight from Lisbon he had not seen a single member of his Cabinet; nor did they seek to communi- cate with him in any way, or inform him of the course of events. When the storm broke the members of the Cabinet fled the country or hid themselves in their houses, leaving the young monarch to look after himself. Indeed, there was a general sauve qui pent. The late Prime Minister was the only member of the Cabinet who was prevented from bolting with the rest. He wa-s wounded in the foot by a bullet when he was leaving his house early on Tuesday morning, and this accident kept him a prisoner in' his resi- dence. I King in Tears I The final leave-taking at Gibraltar was very pathetic. King Manoel, with tears in his eyes, thanked the captain and crew cf the Amelia for the loyal service they had rendered him when he had been abandoned I by almost all his entourage. His Majesty shook hands with Captain Mareira Desa and each member of the crew. He bade them remember that Portugal was their country whatever came, and coun- selled them to do their duty as loyal Portu- guese. "I hope," said his Majesty, "that my poor country will be happy under the Republic. Her trials have been severe. May a brighter day soon dawn upon her." Everyone on board (says Mr. M. H. Donohoe in the "Daily Chronicle") was very much touched by this dignified farewell. Tears stood in the eyes of the sailors as the King shook hands with them. They felt keenly this parting from the young Sovereign, who, whatever were the faults of his advisers, has always been personally popular with every- one of his subjects. To Land at Portsmouth ? I The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert left Portsmouth last evening for Gibraltar to embark King Manoel and Queen Amelia for England. The orders for sending the yacht to the Bock for this purpose were kept very quiet on Tuesday. The vessel was hurriedly coaled, and the crew recalled from leave, the yacht having only just returned from Denmark, whither she had conveyed Queen Alexandra. The port of disembarkation of the King and Queen is not known, but it is understood that it will be Portsmouth. PORTUGAL'S POLICY I Secular Education and Big Army I LISBON, Wednesday. Senhor Relvas, Minister of Finance, in a statement to-day, said that, while the two chief internal reforms contemplated by the Government would be the establishment of compulsory secular education and the separation of the Church and State, the Government intended to respect the national debt and all existing contracts, treaties, and orders, and to reduce the deficit in the- Budget by means of a revision of taxation, and grant financial autonomy to the Colonies, with the exception of Angola. The Army and Navy would be strengthened, and the Government intended to develop the Colonies the preservation of which was for Portugal of supreme interest. The alliance with Great Britain would be maintained, and the sympathy of Latin countries especially cultivated .-P-outer. LISBON, Wednesday Night.

GIRLS' FOREIGN HUSBANDS Some of the perils menacing the English girl who marries a foreigner and is ignorant of the divorce laws of her husband's country were brought to -ight by the case of a girl who had married a Dutch husband, and bad been divorced by him on the ground that she left his house without consent. "It behoves every girl marrying a foreigner to make herself familiar with the divorce laws of his country, for to all intents and purposes by the very act of marrying him she adopts his nationality," said the secre- tary of the Divorce law Reform Union to a press representative. "Grounds among others common to the English law courts upon which foreigners can secure divorce are condemnation for crime, threats, serious vexations, aversion after separation has been found ineffective, marked enmity, dislike, separation for three years, treason, change of religion (Saxony), and secession from Christianity (Servia)."

I Dead On the Platform' CANTON MAN'S TRAGIC END AT BARRY A sad fatality occurred at Barry Dock Railway Station on Wednesday afternoon. There were a number of people on the plat- form at the time, and one noticed the appa- rently lifeless body of a young man stretched across the doorway of one of the station buildings. A couple of porters immediately picked the man up and conveyed him into the ladies' waiting-room, where life was found to be extinct. The body has been identified as that of George Parfitt, of 92.

REMOVAL OF WRECKS Mr. John Macaulay presided at a meeting oi the Newport Harbour Board on Wednes- day. The trade returns showed a gratifying increase in the shipment of coal, foreign and coastwise, viz.. foreign 312,996 tons in Septem- ber, 1910, as compared with 297.586 tons in September. 1909; and coastwise 78,260 tons as compared with 65,724 tons. Of the total of S940 18s 6d. costs incurred in opposing the Taff Fusion Bill and the Barry Company's Bill in the last session of Parliament it was decided that the board should pay 1457 19s. 5d. Mr T. H. Mordey drew attention to the question of the removal of wrecks in the narbour, and said it was desirable that the boatd should have the same powers as were possessed by the Tyne and Tees authorities, rot only for the removal of wrecks, but for recovering the coats incurred. The matter was adjourned to consult the Bristol Channel Dock Owners' Associa- tion. The report of the deputation appointed to inspect the Tees. Tyne, and Clyde having been issued, Alderman Canning spoke of its ?reat value in guiding the board. Mr. Robjent said the clerS (Mr. A. J. Phillips) was to congratulated upon the work.

A RUNAWAY GIRL Frederick Crich, a crane-driver, of Hnnslet, was summoned at Leeds for having har- boured his child while she was under the age of eighteen years and under the control of the guardians of the Hunslet Union without their consent. The man's wife, Alice, Aas summoned for aiding and abetting. The Clerk to the Hunslet Guardians said the guardians adopted the girl in 1907, and put her out to service on September 3. On September 5 she absconded and returned to the workhouse. She repeated this behaviour, and then made her way to Middlesbrough to her parents. The family returned to Hunslet, and the children were admitted to the work- house. The girl was sent to a home at Liver- pool to be trained, but she absconded. Then she was sent to Bristol, and absconded. Afterwards she was sent to Cardiff under the care of the Sisters of Mercy. After being there ten months she was placed out in service at Abergavenny, but absconded on September 13 last, and returned to Hunslet, where sh< was found residing with her parents. The woman complained that the guardians sent two of her children to South Walet without giving them the opportunity of say ing good-bye to their parents. The Bench imposed a fine of j61 and costs.

SUPPORTERS' CLUB FORMED At the Bristol and South Wales Hotel on Wednesday evening a well-attended and enthusiastic meeting was held to consider the proposal which has been put forward for the formation of a Supporters' Club in con- nection with Cardiff City Football Club.
