YANKEE YARNS, A MAINE COWBOY. It w.m a w?rm spr'n? day, a.?ys a writer in the CafM?ers of ?M?'t'e?. Tha snow was moist i.> roll ^i-od. Hadicy and Ray had just fintMivd making a ?picndtd snow man when jSV^hbcur Henriss cazne up the path. Neighbour Henries lives upon a iarge cattle ranch in Texas every summer, and he bad come to way gi>od-bye, tor he was goiufj there the next w"k> He sat by the opaii window and told paja stones of a "cowboy's" life, until Hadley wished be could go with him and be a "cowboy too. Well, may be you can, if you can Jparn to nile the lasso, and Neighbour Henries' eyes twinkled. Got a good rope handy Hadley soon found one, and the lesson began. He was an apt scholar, and oon he eouid throw the noose over things very nicely—if these things did not mova Now, try your skill on that heifer, my boy," and Neighbour Henries pointed to a sleek, t-.vo- vear-oia heifer, which stood near the barn chew- ing her cud contentedly. All right and Hatiley crept up behind her like a young Indian. He coii?,d the rope and threw it. It, settled fairly over the short white horns of tha heifer, and the fun began Plucky Hadley held on a, hard as he could, and away they went—a frightened heifer at one end of the ront* and a frightened boy at the other. Hi, ha, ha That looks I ke Texas, only we llavpn, j; the snow to make a^oft plac to land in laughed Neighbour Hernia?. How the now did 11y The heifer bellowed, and Hadky yelled as sho dragged him along, and the mad racu went on until Iladley's breath was very nearly gone, then it ended in a sudden way. The heifer ran close to a high, stesp bank, as if she was going to leap over it. I H >d!ey leTgo the rope, but he was going so fast ho could not stop, and plunsred over the bank and otW; of sight in the lJU" snowbank at the bottom. It took both papa and Neighbour Henries to dig him oui-, and when ha was safe ones more Neigh- bour Henries said A pretty 'cowboy' you'd make, my lad J iou'll have to stay at home awhile longer yet." "I mean to," said Hudley promptly. "I don't want to ba a e,)wboy.' I wouldn't if I could as well as not. I'd rather be—I'd rather be the President of the United Stae." THE BOCTOK'S' SKELKTO.V, Every family is supposed to have a skelrton in its closet," remarked Dr Wheeler, of Wichita, Kan,, to a party of friends who met him m. trio i Union depot last night, snys the Kansas City Ti, I had one in any closet untii th^ week, when I shipped it to the Michigan State Univer- sity. I lion t want to see it again. It happened like this Many years ago when I commenced the practice of medicine in a small Missouri town, the Jessa James boys paid ns a visit. They raided the bank and got away with six thousand doHar', but fir?z)g was pretty ge-n6r??l on both side". I had a revolver, and during the general excitement I shot one of the robbers. He was dead when we picked him up. A finer specimon ot physical manhocd I have never seen. Tho natives in the little Missouri village made no objection when I claimed the youth's skeleton as my ptizo. "Last week, one rainy night about 11 o'clock, a erenusue old-fashioned frontiersman came to my office. Ha asked my name, then inquired if I l,ad a skeleton in my closet. His face was bearded and sunburnt, but there was something about him that made mo think of the vouug man I had killed many years befor?. I was alone in the office, and I didn't like the colour of tho visitor s eye. However, I answered the question iu the affirmative. 'Let me sea the skeleton said my queer visitor. It would scarcely do to refuse. I walked to the rear of the vfEce, where there was a small table out of sight of my visitor. I drew out 'from the desk a revolver, the same one that had ended the career of the youthful bandit years before. Holding it in my hand, I stepped to the closet, threw open the door, and remarked with as much coolness as I could command by fores of will There is the skeleton Put upyourrevolver,'remarked thesfcranger. *I won't hurt you. If I nad wanted to shoot you I would hnve killed you when I came into the office. I just been ikwlI in Oklahoma, and I am on my way back to Tennessee. I heard the story nf your killing: one of tho gang, and as near as I can make out it was my boy that Was killed. lIe ran away from home when only 12 yeat:,6 old, and I never saw him after tiiat. I don't hold any grudge »gam<t you. You did what was right, I suppose. But I thought I would take this chance to see what is left of the poor boy.' I then showed the stranger the skeleton, which was handsomely illumed, and described the raid as bri-fly and gently as possible. Tho old pioneer's only remark as he gaz^d upon ail that was left of his boy was: Well, bt3 w-,is a b;g fellow, wasn'c he""

A STEAMER SUNK !N THE I ENGLISH CHANNEL. í Landing of the Crew at Cardiff, j Particulars reached Cardiix on Monday evening I of a collision iu the English Channel between the I steamships) Nerissa, of London, the Albanui of Snnderiumi. involving the total loss of the iatter. The Nerksa, it appeir.3, left Cardiff en Saturday coal-laden, and about six o'xiock on the following evening, when off tho j Srlly Isles, collided with tlii Huil steamer, II which was bound from iha United Stages to Rotterdam with a general cargo. The Nerissa struck tha Aibano amidships, doing her such damage that she sank, though not "till three Lours had elapsed. The crew of the iii-fatei vessel had thus ampio time to get oat their beats and get aboard the Nerissa, which stood by till the Albii n went down. The Nerissa than put back for Cardiff, but being badiy damaged harsaif, and a heavy son running, she was compelled to bring up Marie Bay. There the crew of tlja A'ban;>, rfumb-rirg 26 in all, were transferred to tha steam tug Lutannia, of Cardiff, which put them ashore at the latter port at seven o'clock on Monday evening. One of the men, unfortunately, go: badiy crushed be- tween a boat and the sjéJe.3 of the Aibano when the crew wera making good their escape from tha sinking vessel, end he, on being lauded, was at I once convoyed to tbo uor-pical ship Hamadryad. The remainder of the men are at present lying at I the Sailors' Home. Later iu the evening the Britannia went down channel to meet and assist the Nerissa in returning to Cardiff for re- pair*.

The man whd feels certain that he will not succeed is seldom mistaken. It isthe man who is doing everything at once who is never doing anything at all. A woman's idea of a true friend is one who ad- mires her children as much as she does herself. A man frequently complains that bis friends I have let go ot him, when, in fact, he has let go of himself.

Glycerine in which car- bolic acid has been dissolved may also be em- ployed. The cougil of phthisis and the irritation in the throat of many complaints afford proper trials for thsso remedies.

MR GLADSTONE. r Hr.warden Park was closed to everyone on Monday who had not been fortunate enough to secure special permits from MrMayhew,Mr Glad- stone's agent. This is following a custom adopted for some years past. Tha day was devoted to the annual march of the two local lodges of the friendly societies. Both bodies—the Order of Druids and the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds were headed to Hawarden Rectory by their bands, which gave Mr Gladstone a serenade. On the conclusion Mr Gladstone came oui-, and, in a few words, formally thanked them for their attendance, and said he trusted they would have a fine day for their demonstration. For tha first time the friendly societies dined together in the boys' and giris' schoolrooms respectively, their feasts previously being held at tho village inns. To-day (Tuesday) there will be a very large Liberal demonstration in Hawarden Park. The first train arrives as early as 8.30, and two hours later the first special is due from Bristol, to be followed by four other long excursions.

I THE I.OUTH TRAGEDY. I Mrs Hay, who was shot by her husband, who at the same time killed his cousin Thomas Hay at G'range Farm, Louth, cn Friday uight, died of her wounds on Monday. The inquest on the body of Thomas Hay was opened at South Restou, near Louth, on Monday afternoon. The evidence showed that the pri- soner, George Dawson Hay, suspected his wife of being unfaithful to him, but that there was no real foundation for his suspicions. On the Friday night be went home and tired four shots from a fowling piece at Thomas Hay and his wife. The forncsr was killed almost instantaneously, but Mrs Hay lived through the night alone with the corpse of the murdered man. When found on Saturday morning she was conscious, but unable to speak owing to the shocking character of her injuries, and she died on Monday.—The jury returned a verdict of wilfuLmurder against I George Dawson Hay.

I General News. Me and Mrs Chamberlain have left town for' Paris, Mr Leonard Courtney, M.P., started on Satur- day morning for the Continent. Sir Hussey Vivian, M.P., has gone to Germany. Lady Vivian is visiting Mr and Mrs Tyssen AtDL,er-t at Didlington Hall. The King of the Belgians left Dover for Ostend on Monday afternoon by the steamship Princess Josephine. The Freeman's Journal has no doubt that after Sunday's proceedings in Tipperary the people of England will see that Mr Balfour is powerless against the national will in Ireland. In the tennis championship match on Monday Pettitt won the first set only (not two-Bets) by six games to two. Saunders won the second by six to four, third by six to two, and fourth by six to I one. Rawaon's Mill. a largo building in Dewsbury- road, Leeds, was destroyed by fire on Monday morning. The flames spread with great rapidity. A fireman named James Fuller was seriously in- jured and was removed to the infirmary. On Saturday afternoon sparks from a passing engine set fire to some raw material for making paper stored in KettIebrook sidings, Tamworth. Damage to the extent of several hundreds of pounds was done before the flames were subdued. A younsr lady, apparently about 21 years old, JllIng herself on Sunday morning from one of the towers of Notre Dame in Paris. Our corre- spondent says that she ieil upon a printer who was passing with his little daughter in the close, killing herself in the fall, and doing him seriou3 injury. The child was not hurt. The death is announced from Nieuport of Louis. Artan, the marine painter. Though of a rich and noble family, the deceased artist was never burdened with this world's goods, and," says a Brussels correspondent, in spite of his great talent, died in a miserable condition." Mr Richard Tangye, the great Birmingham manufacturer, has communicated to a newspaper reporter that if the Rating of Machinery Bill should not pass, he will remove his works from Soho, Birmingham, to the bank of the Clyde. As the firm employs 2; 000 hands, thiannouncemeut has caused some excitement in Birmingham. Messrs Tangye pay no less than 2150,000 a year in wages alone. It is said that Prince Bismarck has written to the Pope to say that just at present he does not see his way to pay him a visit, owing to the great heat. In September, however, the ex-Chancellor will perform a journey to Cauossa, otherwise the Vatican. This will be an historical event of no small interest when we remember the circum- stances of the case. At a meeting of the Edinburgh Telegraph Staff, on Saturday, resolutions were adopted protesting against the new rule that necessitates the presence of a shorthand note taker on behalf of the Postmaster-General at all meetings of the telegraph staff. It was contended that the presence of such an official was unnecessary, and not in accordance with the spirit of the ti ml", which looks upon free and uninterrupted discus- sion as a fair and constitutional means of formu- lating claims. Herr Praeger, of the Austrian Reichsrath, who is on a visit to England, was being driven along the E^'igware-road in an open carriage to Padding- tan Station, on Saturday, when the horses shied and bolted, galloping along at a furious rate. As the coachman was pulling the reins one of them snapped, and be was thrown into the road, the wheels passing over his body. Herr Praeger, who was accompanied by a lady, in attempting to ai'ght, was thrown violently to the ground and injured, bis left arm being broken. The lady escaped. A new work on The Arthurian Legend," by Ptofessor Rhys, will shortiy be issusd from the Clarendon Press. It is based on two ilbpublished lectures delivered in the course of Hibbeit Lec- tures for 1886. The autbor s view is that there was both all historic Arthur and a Brythonic divinity of the same name, and that the group of legends which surround that name is of purely Celtic origin. An employi in the military engineering de- partment at Genoa named Mastacchi has been arrested on a charge of high treason for having supplied a certain Herr Yanzler, employed at the German Consulate at Genoa, with plans of the fortifications of Genoa and of the adjacent littoral. On thn treachery of Mastacchi be- coming known YaDcler flsd to Switzerland. Mastacchi had as a sweetheart a Frenchwoman, whom be is said to have supplied with similar plans. The United Kingdom Alliance is makinggreit preparations for a Hydo Park demonstration against the endowment- of publicans. Th6y have fixed Saturday, June 7, for their meeting, out ot deference to their clerical supporters, who object to Sunday demonstrations. Tue protestors will inbet on the Embankment, and with the usual bands and banners (mauy of the latter having been used for the same purpose in 1883) will march in procession to Hyde Park, where there will be the usual speeches and resolutions. The honorary secretaries of the National Etftaddvod of 1390, to be held at Bangor, authorises us to contradict the statement made by a London evening papar, that representati ves of tin Eisteddvod Committee have faded to get from Mr Stanley a promise to attend the national gathering in August. SucÍJ a statement is with- out foundation, and is regarded as being highly damaging to the interests of the eisteddvod. The committee have been negotiating with Mr Stanley for some time past, and his final answer as to the acceptance of the invitation is yet to com. THe Dix Neuviemc Siecle has published a iotig teiwgram troin ?. Petersburg giving details of a vast conspiracy against Russia discovered by Russian secret ugeuts in Berlin. It comprised over 200 members, aud was well orgauised, having accomplices in several capitals of Europe. Oneoi its chief objects was to foment disturbances in the Baltic Proviuces against Russia. The Russia>1 Government, tho journal asserts, has calted the attention of the Berlin Cabinet to the existence of the conspiracy, and hopes that in the mterests of the two countries it* will speedily take measures to repress it. The prospects for fruit in Mid and Eist K«ut aro more promising than for years past. The apple and pear bltlom has hung on exceedingly well, and should favourable weather coutir.u^ there is every probability of an unusually heavy crop of both these fruits. Cherries also look well, the trees being well laden. Whilst in some parts there is a scarcity of pluni3 and damsons, in others there will be an average crop. A large amount of ground that was previously hop laud has been converted into fruit plantations within the last two or three years, the latter being found to pay better than hops. A very characteristic letter of Alexandre Dumas was recaived the other day by the director of the Cluny Museum, in which the former announces his in tentiou of presenting to the museum the swnrd of the Muiquis de Pescaire, which has been left to him by E. de Beaumont. M. Dumas gives his reason for his liberality as follows I have en^ged to le"nl tho Rword after my death to the Cluny Museum. But I know the collectors, amateurs, and directors of museum In their fondness for a rarity they go so far as to wish for the death of those to whom it belongs, especially if they are the heirs. I do not wish lo expose your conscience to a painful battle, for it would be sure to fight, perhaps successfully, for the possession of tho weapon. I therefore offer you at once the gword of the vanquisher of Pavia and the vanquished of Ravenna. Aud now, dear sir, as you can no longer see any reason why I should not live a very long time yet, let me assure you that while IIive I shall always be your uevotod frieud.-A. DUMAS. The excursion promoted by the Operatives' Liberal Association to Hawarden to-day promises to be the most successful ever organised by the society during its long find useful career.- Over 3.000 tickets have been issued, and there is such a desire on tbe part of the citizens to take part in the demonstration in honour of Mr Gladstone that these have been oag»r!y bought up, and are now selling at a premium. The Great Western Railway Company have made arrangements for runninc five traius, each ot which will accommo- date 700 passengers, and the first will leave the Tempie Meads Station about five o'clock this I morning, the other four following at short inter- vals. Each train wlil be accompanied by six members of the committee of the Operatives' Liberal Association, and the ofifcers, Messrs J. Thorne, T. Builworthy, and T. Bevan, in con- junction with the 30 committee men, will have charge of the arrangements. The report for 1889 of the Physician-Super- intendent of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum for the Insane contains an interesting account of one of the inmates who died during tbe year, and who was S'ctad with an ineradicable notion that he was tho rightful heir to the British throne. Dr Clouston tells how this man described, in the most detailed manner, how unfairly Prince Albert secured our Queen as his bride after she had promised her hand to this "king;" and how the Duke of Wellington exerted himseif to stop tha marriage, afterwards declaring to this self-created monarch that he would rather have lost the battle of Waterloo than that the match should have been accomplished. Although employed in the asylum blacksmith's shop, this ruler took a daily round of the kitchen and workshops to see that no waste was going ou. Au amusing incident occurred <in his life, when he rang all the door bells of a street in Leith, and gave formal notice to each householder to quit the premises the following Whitsun Day, as he was to resume possession himself. Dr Cloustou says that such delusional states as in this patient are now rare, but as showing their heredity ho remarks that a daughter of this man is now an inmate of the asylum, and that she firmly believes herself-to be a princess.

I Workmen's Demonstra- tion at Blaenavon. I COMPENSATION AND THE EIGHT HOURS BILL. The political life of Blaenavon and the imme- diate district has developed in a remarkable manner during the last year or two, and no better evidence of the strength and vitality of progressive principles could be desired than was furnished on Monday by the second annual demonstration of the Blaenavon Working Men's Radical and Liberal Association, considering that Monday next is the recognised holiday with miners. The town pre- sented a general holiday appearance, all shops being closed, while the crowded streets and dis- 'piay of bunting testified to the earnestness with which the demonstration of the Radical working men was regarded, Two years ago such an asso- ciation was unknown; but after the county council election there was a real awakening, and the association can now boast a membership of over two hundred—thanks to the efforts of such men as Mr Lewis Davies (who, as honorary secretary, has rendered invaluable service to his fellow-working men.

Sullivan, M.P.) and a large green flag show- ing the harp ot Erin. while the Union Jack occu- pied the upper corner. Outside the Town-hall, about two o'clock, a procession of some 600 parsons was formed, and, headed by the band of the 2nd .Battalion South Wales Borderers, marehed to Peutlonidgoch, where Mr T. P. Price, M.P. for North Monmouthshire, was met and lustily greeted. The procession then re- turned and paraded the principal streets of the town,after which several hundred persons partook of tea in the Town-hall, which was rendered bright and interesting by means of a large num- ber of politital mottoes and portraits. The tables were presided over by the wives and daughters of members of the association, and the arrangements were admirably carried out. In the evening a crowded and enthusiastic public meeting was held in the Town-hall, under the presi- dency of County councillor W. Edwards, who was supported by Mr T. P. Price, M.P., Mr T. D. Sullivan, M.P., the Rsvs Levi Res (chairman of the association), T. Movany Davies, D. M. Davies (Varteg), O. Tidnaa, D. Richards (Abersychao), J. Morgan, loan Meredyth, and Father David (Pontypooi) Messrs George Bartlett, L. Davies (hon. see), J. Seymour, J. Lewis, Cumbly, and J, Hughes (Pontypool). During the evenmg several Liberal songs of an inspiring character were sung, and the audience took up the choruses with great heartiness. • Tha CHAJBMAN having briefly opened the pro- ceedings, The Rev L, REES moved tha first resolution as follows :— That this meeting of Liberals at Blaenavon protest most stronjdy against the proposed compensation clauses of the Licensing Bill, and is also hopeful that ere long a Liberal Government will be in power to carry uut thj wishes of the people in Riving Homa Kule to Ireland, disestablishment and disendowment cf the Church in Wales, and advancing our programme of much needed reforms. This was seconded by Mr GKO. BARTLJCTT, supported by the Rev 1. MEREDITH, aud carried with acclamation.. Address bv Mr T, p. Price, M. P. MrT. P. PRICK, M.P, who was received with much enthusiasm, said he did not intend dealing at length with Ireland, as they would have the pleasure of hearing Mr T. D, Sullivan, but he was bound to make some allusion to the subject, as tho great problem still remained unsolved. He referrdd to the report of the Parnell Commission, and the fact that the horrible charges made against the Irish members, which were founded upou forgeries, were proved to be absolutely false, aud yet no apoiogy had been niado to the accused members. lie asked if that was fair, seeing that such treatment would not have been meted out lo Englishmen ? (Hear, hear.) Mr Parnell had done much for Ireland, if oniy in shifting the fulcrum of Irish politics to the floor of the House of Commons, thereby teaching his fellow- countryman to have good faith in Parliament, but the only return he had received from the House was au endeavour to dishonour him and his colleagues. Alluding to Mr Balfour's Irish Land Bill, he described it as a most complicated measure, while the prospect of pledging English credit to the extent ot 33 millions sterling, in addition to the 10 millions under Lord Ash- bourne's Act, was not a very agreeable one. (Hear, hear.) In short, the objact of the bill was to indemnify lrfch landlords, and couvert the tenants into freeholders. The great objections to the measure were that it would require 160 millions sterling to give full effect to its provi- sions it had not the approval of the Irish nation, as was shown by the fact that Mr Parnell had moved its rejection the sscurities proposed under the bill wera lllusiory it was not by any mgaus a complete solution of the problem, "s three out of every four tenants would go on as before, paying the original rents, while their next-door neighbour would be enjoying a reduc- ion of 20 per cent. As long as coercion lasted t8"nè c.!uld uot deal with landlords on an equal looting it would make Englaud a landlord with the possibility of her resorting to eviction at the of the bayasi:?, since fhe DfMpie would pso- nibly strike sixains: paying England rent, :.nd thus the English Treasury would become the evictor of the Irish peasantry, and tht:) miserable scenes which had already been enacted would be ropeated in the name of the people of Great Britain. (Cheers.) Another objecé1Jn to tbe bill was that Ireland had not asked for it, aud regarded it as an odious, humiliating measure. IHear, bear.) The lion, member then tcinarked that he wished to come nearer home, and proceeded to refer to the Tithos Bill, which the Tories had for three years tri,(t to pasr, although not always in the same shape. (Hear, hsar.) Mr Gladstone had re- marked that the subject of tithes had given rise to a great deal of controversy, but the present bill would not ncttla the question. Its principal features were the transfer of payment of tithes from occupier to owner the recovery ,>f arrears through the county couit instead of distraint and the redemption clauses. But even if passed, the measure would produce an unquieting, irritat- ing effect in the first place because the Welsh farmers hated the county eourt-(bear, hear)— and if the parsor.s took ad vantage of such a remedy, their unpopularity would certainly be immensely increased. (Cheery.) But as a matter of fac, the people of Wales regarded tithes as national property, and as snch the nation had a'perfect right to deal with it, without in any way depreciating or frittering away so valuable an estate. (Hear, hear.) The people upon whom the tithes fell did net object to tho payment, but to the application of the money when paid—(hear, hear)—and if tithes were applied to national pur- poses they would be easily collected. (Hear, hear.) In England the tithes system had become ridicu- lous, mnce, owiug to the altered conditions of agriculture, the tithe, which, according to law, was one-tenth part of the produce of the Bt)ils was in Home parts greater than the ront. (Laughter.) The till really only touched the fringe of the matter, and, instead of presenting an mtricate measure, the subject should be deait with iu?comprehonaivc'manner. (Cheers.) Pro- ceeding to refer to the Budget and the proposed compensation to publicans, Mr Pric? remarked that Mr Gosuhen's !i)' ?uiticen!, ?urptus of 2? miHions sterling was cbidiy the result of the increased revenue from drink. But he had failed to recog- nise any great feature in the Budget. He (Mr Price) had on former occasions advocated what was understood as a free breakfast table-(hear, hear)-and Mr Goschen, instead of merely taking twopence off tlio tea duty, had missed a great opportunity since the eSect of the reduction in duty was infinitesimal. (Hear, hear.) Under cover of tho Budget Bill the Government had introduced the insidious proposal by means of Customs and EKCise Duties Bill to set aside £ 360,000 annuaJly, in order to enable coumy councils to buy up licences but the whole thing was merely a drop in the ocean. How licences were to be bought up was not clear and in the event of publicans not wanting to sell, there would be no power to compel them. As a matter of fact, however, the bill provided that the licences to be bought up were those of the worst houses, which meant, in other words, the houses in which the largest trade was done, and, consequently, calcu- lated to fetch the highest price. (Hear, hear.) The scheme was utterly wanting in intelligence but it was calculated to have a very considerable effect upon the value of all licences—even to the extent of increasing them 25 per cent. The real meaning of the suggestion to buy ou" the publi- cans was that in England alone 200 millions Ii sterling would be required, which was an intolerable proposal. (Loud cheers.) The 2350,000 per year was far too small, and the tfitact would be. nil. (Hear, hear.) It was clear from what I was known of Mr Ritchie's bill that I it would kill all hope of local option. (Hear.) He contended that if any compensation was granted I it should come out of the profits of the monopoly —(cheers)—and it was as well to remember that, i according to decisions of the law courts, publicans had 110 right to compensation for being deprived of their licences. (Cheers.) The rpeords of the United States, Canada, ew Z ;a!and, and Australia (with the exception of Victoria) showed that there was no such thing as compensation to either brewer or seller in case of business being suppressed—(hear, ilear)-and in Victoria when compensation was granted it was provided by the houses that reaiained. (Cheers.) Proceeding to deal with the Eight Hours Bill, tha hon. member referred to the almost universal movement in the direction of • shorter warkiug days—a movement which he regarded as reasonable, as he held that labour beyond a certain point tended to degrade men. (Hear, hear.) What, for instance, was the use of making education compulsory if taere W8 no time for reading ? (Hear, hear.) The great question was how to bring the desired improvement about. S3 far as ho could see, they had open to them legislation, the action of the State, self-help, united action, and organisation. But he did not think it possible to have a universally compulsory eight hours day at any rate, not a3 society was at present com- posed. Among the objections to the proposal were that it would be impossible to enforce the principle, and would restrain the liberty of those who liked to work more than eight hours. (Hear, hear.) In Australian colonies the eight hours day prevailed, but it was founded on cifstoin and not on law. (Hear, hear.) Mr Burt, speak- ing at the labour congress in Belgium, said that so far as he knew, there were no instauceH of an eight-hours day except where it was carried out by combination. If the principle of eight hours were embodied in statute law to-morrow, it would oniy be a reality where there was a powerful and watchful union behind the law to enforce and make it effactive. (Cheers.) As a matter of fact, the future of workmen must depend on their own efforts, Great Britain occupied her present position by self-effort, while in France ovsryoody leaned upon the State, which was, perhaps, good up to a point, as certain protection was assured to the weak; but State control checked enterprise and individuality. (Cheers.) In France there was far too much of the State system, and the Germans knew that so well that during the great war thay captured the mayor and prefect of a town, and then the whole place collapsed. (Loud laughter.) He was distinctly against State-coddling if it could possibly be avoided. (Hear, hear.) On the other band, however, there were cases of intervention by the State which had been beneficial, especially in the case of women and children and certain trades which required distinct regulations. He did not say that miners bad not a good case. (Hoar, bear.) They had enormous dangers to face, as shown by theLlanerch and Morfa Colliery explosions in addition to which they had to work underground in bad air, with the result that life was shortened. Railway workmen, too, had genuine grievances in the dangerous nature of their occupation and excessive hours but as Mr Burt had remarked, Let the workmen every- where demand and insist upon free speech and the right of combination let them trust ts the reason- ableness of their cause let them regard as their greatest enemies, in whatsoever guise of friend- ship they came, those who counselled intimidation, violence, and outrage. Such advice was not only imprudent and suicidal, but in a free country it was wicked and criminal in the ex- treme." (Cheers.) Those were wise words. He himself bad the greatest possible trust in the working men of this country. They were typical Englishmen and Welshmen they bad in them the forces and the qualities that had made the oeople of this country what they were to-day. Year by year the working classes were moving onward and upward. (Hear, hear.) There was a constant addition being made to their intelligence, their self-respect, their Im- proved condition, and their comfort. (Hear, hear.) Their standard of excellence was constantly rising. He was not sure, when times were anything like good, that the working classes, taking everything into con- sideration, were better off in any part of the world (except perhaps in Australia) than they were in this country at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) And if they wished still further to improve their condition the matter lay in their own bands. (Cheers.) They were really masters of the position. If they were well advised, if they were in earnest, if they would combine to obtain what was reasonable and fair, and what commended itself as just and fair to the sense of the community, then the day was not far distant when the working man of this country would become far more than he was to-day—a free citiziu of a free country, a country which would be the envy of the whole world. (Loud cheers.) Speech by Mr T. D. Sullivan, M.P. I ► Mr T. D. SULLIVAN, M.P., who was cordially welcomed, then addressed the meeting, and referred to the happier relationship Bublisting between the people of Ireland and the Liberal party of Great Britain—an improvement which lie attributed to the justice of the policy pursued by Mr Gladstone and his followers. Comment- ing upon the violence to which Irishmen were subjected at the instigation of Mr Balfour, ho spoke with indignation of the suppres- sion of the Tipperary meeting 011 Sunday but notwithstanding that, unlike the police of England, the Irish constabulary were as well armed as soldiers, he and his friends usually managed to hold their meetings—ahd that, too, without having lecourse to anythiug in the shape of violence. It was easy enough to talk of the evils of boycotting and the harshness of intimida- tion but what had taken place in Ireland would be seen in England and Wales if the same system of tyranuy and oppression was introduced. But the hand of fellowship had been held out by the Liberal party on this side of the Irish S-ia; and the day was not far distant when that lasting- pence and real union would be established for which Mr Gladotone had so earnestly toiled. (Cheers.) Mr L. DAVIES proposed the following resolu- tion That this meeting of the Liberals of Blaenavon and the surrouiKiing district, while expressing their un- abated confidence in Mr Price as their parliamentary representative, (Jesires to thank him most heartily for the great self-sacr;fica he has shown in deciding to continne as their member, and will spare no labour to make his position securt aaamst all comers. The resolution was seconded by Mr J. Ssyrnour, supported by the Rev O. Tinman, and carried, after which hearty votes of thanks were accorded te Messrs Price and Sullivan, who suitably replied, and the proceedings closed with the singiug of "The Grand Old Standard."

SENSATIONAL INCIDENT AT I "CAERPHILLY. Shortly after mid-day on Monday, while the eisteddvod was in progress at Caerphiily Castle, a horse attached to the waggon of the Cardiff Aerated Water Company took fright at the ap. proach of a brass band, and bolted at terrific speed through the thoroughfares, which were at the time crowded with holiday makers. Several children were knocked down, one of them badly injured, while a little fellow named Thomas Bald, four years of age, was run ovar and killed almost instantaneously. Tha sad affair caused the greatest commotion in the town, and the liveliest synipatliy was evince witb the pareuU in their terrible bereavement.

A WINDFALL OF £ 20,000. A working man named Joshua Proctor, who has lived in the neighbourhood of Stackstaads, near Manchester, for about 24- years, is about to eome into a fortune of £ 20.000. The money was left by two uncles some 60 years ago. One of the uncles was Admiral Blezzard, and the other H Joshua Bit zzard, a horse doctor. They were never married. It appears that th's money was to be left to Mr Proctor ou condition that ho was named Joshua, and his parents took very great care that this was done. •
