The Man About Town, I -I
The Man About Town, I With Hirwain on the warpath against ¡ juvenile smoking and the Sunday School Chronicle conducting a vigorous cam- paign to suppress the Cigarette Peril in I Youth," the manufacturers of the weed will have to check the rate of their produc- tion of the insinuating, seductive little rolls I of evanescent bliss The temptation of youth is great. Five for a penny a packet ¡ of dainty cigarettes, as fine looking as the special favourites of the Prince of Wales Two for a halfpenny and a match Can then be any wonder that the modern sample of the Boy should begiu smoking at six ? There is no make believe about a. penny packet of cigarettes. And the charm ¡ of aping the elders—what youth could resist the tempter ? The fascination of the cigarette for the prasent-day boy is as powerful as the squib and cracker were to I the youth of yesterday. One would be sorry to think that there was half the sin and wickedness in youthful smoking that the Sunday School Chronicle discovers in the practice, nor has one faith in the ¡ pledge against smoking which is, according to this authority, involving vast multi- tudes of our youth down to an age well within sight of the cradle." What a pity a Bunyau has not described this deadly sin dragging youth down to the bottomless abyss 1 Athletes eschew the smoking habit, and the testirnonyoi some of the foremost men in cricket, football, and general athletics is against the use of tobacco. Mr C. W. AJcock,the founder of the Football Assocja-I tion-" the Prime Minister of legitimate sport "-is a non-smoker. Johnny Briggs, the ;bowler, feels much more fit without smoking. Mr Howard Spicer, the editor of the Sports Library," is so concerned at the number of boys in the streets who smoke that he would have legislative inter- ference against the cigarette. Dr. W. G. Grace is a non-smoker. They all declare that smoking is enervating, tad causes unsteadiness of the nerve and eye. Mr Treves, the famous surgeon, who has just returned from South Africa, is made to say in an interview that he is appalled as he looks at the number of mere boys who seem to think that life consisted in having fine clothes and smoking cigarettes. If there were any young fellow who took an interest in spjrts or in physical culture he would certainly advise him not to do any smoking in his early years. So serious to him did the evil seem to be, and so threat- ening was it to the longevity of our race, that he was in favour of Parliament step ping in and dealing with the matter." A correspondent of the Dundee Advertiser" was told that cigarette smoking in Scotland was in its infancy, though he sees a tremendous lot of infants smoking ciga- rettes, many of them so young that they I cannot pronounce the word cigarette." Strange that tobacco, the solace ot man- hood and the comfort of age, should be so deadly a'habit to youth, and yet if one is to believe doctors and military examiners, cigarette-smoking is largely responsible for so many ricketty, undersized youths. The Sunday School Chronicle comes to the rescue with an Anti-smoking League, and offers a guinea prize for the best phrased I pledge I A Poor Tommy," a Private in the 3rd Welsh at Prieska, indites a letter on deep Khaki notepaper in this style :—" I now take the pleasure of writing to you, hoping you are in Good State of health as it leaves me at present. Dear Editor, I should like for you to put these few lines in the paper that in Pneska from PoorTommy in South Africa on Active Sevice, put it down the I best way you can." He winds up with the benediction, Sir, No More at present from yours truly." Reading the letter the best way I can, I gather that this private of the 3rd Walsh objects to the officers arranging little bails and parties and enter- tainments whilst T. Atkins, Esq., does all the work f He would prefer that instead of inviting guests they should look more after their men. The private was always a I severe critic of bis officers. It V. Have you seen the picture ? The appearance of a picture which is on viow to the public for a brief space aud then dis- appears from local ken may be regarded as a small matter—an event soon forgotten and without significance. That is not the correct appreciation of the works of Her- bert Schmalz which are brought to Cardiff from time to time and exhibited at the Art Galleries of Mr Freke in Duke. street. So long as we have no Art Gallery in the town worthy the uamn of a big and prosperous coal port I shall continue to I attach importance to these prJOàwd ex- hibitions of great pictures. My advice to all readers who delight in the things beau- tiful and ot good report is to go and see the ¡ latest picture of this artist ere the oppor- tunity disappears. The Ifsssou of a picture ¡ cannot be described in a uofce its lasting influence it in impossible ta estimate but the good that is done by great pictures, like an act of true charity, never dies. The Return from Calvary," The Resurrection Morn," and Rabboni have been seen throughout the provinces, and many readers of these notes will havs pleasant recollections of the two last named. The Great Awakening is in the artist's best style. There is a breadth and sympathy about the picture, it tells its story so well that no title is needed, no description necessary to enable the looker- on to enjoy the full meaning and signifi. cance of the artist's intention. Two figures stand on an eminence, and the beauty of the world, as of the beyond, is brought out in telling fashion, while the stress and trouble are left behind, slightly indicated in the rugged, bramble-strewn path, and the lacerated feet and torn garments of the figure who has left them behind. The artist has carried simplicity to the fullest extent, and has so woven the ideal with the real, the spiritual with the physical, that one almost forgets the symbolism, and sees the reality. It is a lesson that one takes from the canvas and the presence of the picture to the street, and it lives with one. Ian Maclaren has written an appreciation which is presented to all visitors to the picture, but excellent as it is The Great Awakening needs no wird of ex- planation. To see it is to enter into the spirit of the artist and receive its message. America has given us many good things, and in this category I class the latest farcical comedy, The Wrong Mr Wright," in which Mr Lionel Rignold appears at the Theatre Royal this week. It is certainly one of the hits of the season and strikes one as being both original and fresh, and a little less American than some of its rivals, a fact which I mention to the ad- vantage of The Wrong Mr Wright." As each new farcical comedy comes round one wonders what new plot or extraordi- nary situation will beliuventecl and applied for the next, but there appears to be an inexhaustible store of good stories and funuy incidents in the 0 world, and the author of the present comedy has certainly made an excellent choice. The caste includes several local favourites. The Wrong Mr Wright is an excellent stimu- lant, a piquant sauce, an enjoyable and good thing A Tonypandy Collier desires to give vent o his e ing>2" with regard to the attend nee at general meetings of the workmen of the Cambrian Collieries, Cly- dach Vale, which are convened time after time for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to the welfare of our Union or Federation. It is most absurd-to see so small a number oi workmen who attend and take interest in the Federation prin- ciples. We hear a great amount of out- side talk with some of our workmen con- demning the actions which have been taken up by the Committee and some of our leading parties of the work. If such workmen were to attend the meetings and here give vent to their feeling of griev- ances they would do a great amount of good instead of letting other people hear and know their grievances who have nothing to do with the colliery work whatever. If I understand rightly, the object of these meetings should be to educate one another on the principles of Federation. I contend that it is the duty of every workman to attend the meetings." When wages are good and work brisk it is usually difficult to arouse the same interest in organisation that is readily secured in bad times. It is a natural weakness of human nature and the I Collier is human like the rest.

" The Queen's Poetess."
The Queen's Poetess." i WELL-KNOWN BRISTOL CLERGYMAN'S SISTER, By Ä, B. Fraser. M.A. Zitvjwill, after his first visit to Aberdeen, had two distinct impressions of the Granite City. One was that its people revealed in the mass that subtlety of intellect which found its finest ex. pression in Alexander Bain-" the man who dissected Shelley's Litrk the other, that its very streets and architecture were eloquent of that self-same mathematical and frigid precision of line and a.np;'e which distinguished its leading metaphysician as at once one of the most lucid and most abstruse philosophers of his time This, however, is but half the truth. Aberdeen is not wholly given over to the worship of the purely Intellectual. It hao, no one d.-tres call in qaes- tion, given to tho world some of the keenest ana- lytics! minds the realm of thought has known- mathematicians, psychologists, critics. But, to its lasting honoar, it also takes its place among those cities of the kingdom whose literary asso- ciations give a certaiu charm even to the dull details of gnide-books, Byron was cradled 'twixt the Don and the Dee," and from Beattie The Minsttei the ancient Northern University has received It lu«fcre that no prejudice can dim. In other words Aberdeen-ga,UTated as it may be with the cold and uninviting philosophy of the ] -lobti Stuart Mill school, as reflected in Alex- %nier BFtin.-is, neverthelesr,, the Home of the Emotions,1, Into the large question of the Influence of Environment on poetic fancy, it is not my present inteotiort to enter. Let it suffice that in the closing year of the century, Aberdeen has sbnken off the odium so picturesquely;set forth by the illustrious Jew, and has nurtured, if not given birth to, more than one sweet singer whose name the ages will yet be constrained to hoaonr. And the least distinguished of these is not Ella Mary Gordon, the Queen's Poetess." The world abounds in mute, inglorious Miltons." We know least about those who have given the ages their best, have moulded thought, and created mental worlds. The Majority care little for the- Yoiceless. The Mob delights in the man who can giv-a its manifold passions loudest expression. Bot the Tbinksr in the closet, the Poet by the wayside who sings as the lark—nnder no compulsion save Nature's Force and for no praise save -her,; ,tlr>n"appe"l: to the Few. Popularity is bnt a "fleeting life on others' breath." Bat the Silent prevail. Don't mis- understand me. I am dealing with general principles. A poet's worth mast be judged by his nffect on the aidience to which he appeals. An unpopular poet may be a poet in tbe highest sense—a Vates, a Seer-Singer. How many revel in Matthew Arnold to-day ? How many in Rudyard Kipling ? I will leave the analogy there. The Quean's Poetess," however, courting neither Fame nor Fortune, has not been without her Just Meed of Praise. I I have known the humblest to thank her for her inspiring veree, and queens and kir,e, bays testi- fied to her splendid gifts. For a minute I will speak biDgrapbieally. JTCJJa Mary Gordon, who hils won the distinction of being known throughout the length and breadth of the land as The Queen's Poetess/' is the wife of Mr William Gordon, the well-known town clerk of Aberdeen, a gentleman of most scholarly t isteji, and one of Aberdeen University's most distinguished Alumni. In the building up of character heredity is a less poions factor by far than e::¡v:ro;1menL, but Mrs Gordon owes much to ber descent, fot inseparably assocated with some of her finest efforts are that delieacy of touch and that charm of expression which are peculiarly French, and which she owes to her French extraction. Her father, Mr William Paul, F.L.S., of Waltham House, Hertfordshire, is one of the most eminent of British horticultoristfr, and no mean contributor to tli3 literature of flowers His writings are all instinct with pnre poetic fancy, and possess, as Matthew Arnold would have said, a genuine rhythmical movement. His ancestors, it is recorded, took refuge in Peter- head, N.B., when the bigoted Louis XIII. drove the 500,000 Hugu-jQots from their native, homes and altars. At the beginning of this ceninry oue member of the family, a Captain Paul, was laird of Ne.v Seat, Peter hbox). The poetesB is not the only gifted member of the Paul family. Her siater, Mi*s Florence Paul, is a painter of distkiition, while one of ber brothers wns a scholar of Merton College, Oxford, and is now Rector of St. Peter's, Pi,istol- the Rev. F. C. Paul, M.A. In her own personality Mrs Gordon is the embodiment of ail that is most f;v!cinatii?g in her extraction; and of her Cou- tinental characteristics not the least is her supreme devotion to the Artistic and the Ideal. Born alrnid the most soul-stirring surroundings, and in pfflaetit circumstances, her love for Nature found warmest encoaragement. As a child t:'he lisped in number?, for the mimbera Ctme," and now, with genius no longer in the bad, he i3 one of those singers who carry mnsic in then- hearts —whose song is their nrtart-,oot their art. Her love of travel has been greatlj encouraged by bar distinguished husband, who speaks fluently in halt a dozen language- and together they have crevelled over the greater part of Earope. Nor ha.ve her travels been for pleasure only. Some of her best work is descriptive of the inspiring acene? witD'ed. in modern Germany, witb. itf p?at rcdo](?nt of Goethe and Schiller, and in decadent Greece aud fallen Rome. Happily, Mrs Gordon has had neither tbe necessity nor tha inclination for pot-boiling, and in an nge when geDius b11;, become a thing of merchandise, and plain living and high think- ion are no longer indicative cf the literary lIfe; when the muse is compelled and no Jonger constrains, it is supremely refreshing to come in contact with verse in which spontaneity and sin- cerity, noble aim a.nd purity of expression, delicate sentiment and elevation of tone, are The Outstanding Characteristics. I would not say that Mrs Gordon has a Mes- sage in the Carlyleari sense. She is the head of no school, the founder of no sect. But the sees 'N ature as Word? worth saw it. She loves the Sublime and tbe Beantifnl as Kuskin loved it. Sae sings the Good and the TineasMrs Hsnsr.na Bang it. And just as the Lake school broke away from the Study of Man which the follower7 of Pope had debased, and Nature and NatacH's God becume the poet's t'nsme so we find in the poems of Mrs Gordon an echo of the revolt from the sordid and the mean in man -the exclusive- ness of human charw.-ter-to the higher and the purer in Nwture. The end and aim of the poet is not to please. It is an certainly not to preach. But man mnst be ennobled by contact with the sublime outside himseif-iu Nature and Nature's Gcd-bi,3 God, too. The mere versifier is the pest of so -iety. The poet who strings together jingling verso to serve tip passing moment is tb3 bane of modern life. He has no aim outside thia day's pleasure and, if he had, he has 00 genius to express it. The poems of Mrs Gordon reveal both. The Purpose ili there, and the genius. Moral earneat- nesa and :IGep religious sentiment—-a serions view of life, Not Ibsen Life, but life in whol^—a whole-hearted desiro to eolve its problem* these are the ouiatanding features of her verse. And, to her honour, she has succeeded. Thousands have comtj under the spell of her pen, have pondered her sentiments, and have found a new joy i!J life. Of Mrs Gordon's published works, the beet Itcown fire Poems by Ella Mnry Gordon, illustrated by Florence Paul," iti,(i Golden Rain," From these I take P, few exticacte.

I Fatal -Fall -at Cardiff.
I Fatal Fall at Cardiff. INQUEST TO-DAY, At the Town Hall, Cardiff, this morning Mr E. I B, Reece, coroner, held an inquest on the body of Robert Gape, aged 31, haulier, in the employ of Messrs Fraser and Co., shipchandlers, etc., who died from injuries received through an acci- dent on 12th October. Mr William Jones appeared for the deceased's employers, while the Mount Stuart Dry Doak Company was represented by its manager (Mr Wailes). 51r Edwards, factory inspector, also attended, It appeared that on the afternoon of the day named deceased was putting som ■ stores on board a steamship undergoing repair in the Mount Stuart Dry Dock. He had to pass along a gangway between the ship and the top of the dock. Deceased was in the centre of the gangway when one end of it tipp-d np, owing to two men stepping on to thi projecting end which rested on tho VH!8cl'H bulwarks. Deceased fell to the I bottom of the dock, and was afterwards tak-rn to the Hamadryad Hospital Ship, wh, re he died j the same night. In answer to questions, the foreman ship- wright said the gangway was of the nsnal type, with a rope handrail, but it was not usual to lash one end to the ship. Another witness said that after the accident one of the ship's hatchways was put undor the end of the gangway on the vessel so as to prevent it tilting again, and means were also adopted to fasten the end on shore. The Coroner sid it was a careless or thought- less thing for the two men to have stepped on to the end of the gangway, and they OOgiH to have b"eu present at this inqa ry, The aammonia? officer said he had only been able to find ont the name of one of the men, who was a boi?erm&ker named Edward Smith, and being unable to find him he had left word at his Louse to attend the inqnest, A verdict of Accidental death was returned, the jary adding P. ridpr to the effect that the gangway was nor. securely fixed.

r STEAMERS ON THE SEVERN. I Sunday Scenes. At the Worcester Quarter Sessions "yesterday the Chairman (Mr J W. Willis Bnnd) proposed a resolution calling attention to the pleasure 9teamer traffic on i he Severn on Sundays, and suggested that members of the Court on tbe. Standing Joint Committee be reqnested to con- sider wbel her any steps be taken by the Coart or otherwise to regulate the traffic. He referred tc scenes which for a long time had resulted from an indiscriminate sale of drink. The matter was some time ago brought to the attention of the Court, and he was instructed to t^ive evidence be- fore the Licensing Commission. One of their unanimous recommendations was that the sale of drink on these bsats should be under the control of the licenbiug authority, as were other licensed places, und this recommendation lie bop^d would be included in their Bill. He pointed to the large unmber of people who came from the Black Country for the river trip, and said their number would probably be increased by the light rail- way from Kidderminster to Bewaiey. At Bewdlev there was no control over the river, the control of the Severn Cow- mig-sioner.4 ceasing below the town.The County Council had power to make bye laws, bm. in one place the river divided the two counties, and such bye laws would only app;y to half the liver at that place. If the Bale of liquol were to be continued unrestricted on the boats on the river, thero would be danger to the general public and to the individual psaple The sale of liquor on the steamers was not controlled in any way except by the amount of money of the people on board or ce.p-icity of the barrel. Thf: quiet country places on the river were turned intu pandemonium?. Ho suggested that the Com- missioners of Excise should be asked to say that the journey from Worcester toHolt and Stcnrport was so short as not Lo req aire the provision of liquid refreafirnents on boajci, and nnlets some. dl, ng coulct be done in this direction that the local members be requested to promote legisla- tion to meet the difibolty.

THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.I
THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC. I A Serviceable Act. Sir Conrtouay Boyle, of the lioird of Trade, in Vs annnpJ report to Parliamsnt respecting the proceedings of the BoMd nnckir the Railway Regnlation Acf, 1893, bays the number of com- plaints mctde to the (iapiltment during the year ended July last was 41, compared with 46 in 1899, 76 in 1897, aud 156 in 1S95. Tha steady fall in the number of complaints may be taken, says the report, as indicating tendency on the part of the railway companies to watch the effect of the revision of hoars, and themselves to adjast their tableh of working hunrs withoot waiting for repre- sentations irom the Board of Trade. The pres- sure which the board have bronght to belu has led to a shorttnint; of hours, not merely in the instances in respcct to which representations have been made, but in other instances where the services and conditions of work have been similar. The Act, say Sir Oonrtenay Boyle, in concln- sion, has been prodnctive of ranch advantage to the travelling public and also to tilt; servants of tb? companies. It has bean worked qui-tly and without iricticn.

The chest, pleura, and the lung itself were opened, a.nd all the tuberculous cavities were thoroughly cleaned with antiseptic solution and cauterised. The operation was per formed solely at tbo reqaeat of Senora Ferry, the profassor being reluctant to undertake the respon- sibility. As the resinlt of physiological expert- ment, he had propounded the possibility of the operation in a medical treatise, which had fallen under the notice of Ssnom Ferry, who at once begged that she might have the benefit of what- ever chance of life the treatment offered. Five prominent medical men assisted the professor. Since the operation Senora Ferry bstt made excel lent progress towards recovery -London -1 Daily Express."

GENESIS OF MILITARY UNIFORMS. Not the least interesting among the wondeifid. catalogues of the ErenchjExhibition is the official one printed and published in connection wilh the German Empire exhibits. A German, French, and Eng-ish edition, each making a handsome volume, have been issued, printed in the quaint aud piouuesqijo type used first by German Ptiuters of the Gothic epoch. Over and above tne tb.48 volume contains (in an. exceptionable English in the' English edition) as much interesting information E8 would mak", a large volume. Take the following extract, for ioatance, which is from an article in connection with ttirt milttaiy t:xblbits Even as short -,t time ago as theThirty Years' War there was no rjncstionof providing the troops with clctbas of a uniform type, or a an form an we now oall it. There were, It is trop, cases here and Ihote of a commander of i division of troops buying a Iar-er or smaller quantity of cloth of the same colour in order to give the mea who had to buy their clothes themselves an opportunity of obtaining good fJtuit at a reasonable price. It was, however, a long jump from such cases to a real system of uniforms. It is from France that- tbe impetus to this movement: was given, the Livree of the Royal House troops of Lewis XIV. being taken as the pattern. Ry 1670 tit" njiikary an if or m was spiead tar an1 wide, aud by 1700 it was so universal that the word soldier and uniform had become inseparable." Truly this is cataloguing as a fine art, and doet great credit to the German capacity for taking mins.
BIRD SHOOTS A MAN.
BIRD SHOOTS A MAN. Here is a utran^e tale of a wood turkey, told b> Mr HOld.t Crawford in bis Sonth American Sketches," and positively asserted by birn to be t> ne. The bird in qneatioa had been wounded, tut only winged, and rttii away when it fell to the ground. The man who fired ttt it laid dowu his gun hurriedly and gave chase, when a game of hide and seek took place among the brnehwood. In one of its donblings and turnings the bird passed over tho gun, which was lying on the ground, atid its toes happened to s.rike against the trigger of the undischarged barrel, the ham- mer of which had been left at full cock, with the reenlt that the charge went off and wounded the sportsman. Birds, we know, arc sometimes taught to fire off pistolain those exhibitions known as "Happy Families," as we:l as to per- form other unusual feats but it is not oflen that a wild bird in the woods shoots a man with his own gUll, as this one did in Uruguay.
