PASTOR RESIGNS. I OR. WILLIAMS TO LEAVE DINAS II BAPTIST CHAPEL I 37i YEARS' SERVICE. I It will be learnt with general iregret thai the Rev. Dr. W. P. Williams, who ior the past 371 years has oocupied the pastorate of Dinas Baptist Chapel, Lan- dore. has tendered his resignation of that position, to take effect at the end of the year. The announcement was made at a meeting of the chapel on Sunday evening, when much regret was expressed, the venerable pastor having endeared himself to all with whom he has come in bontact. Dr. WiUams, who is a native of North Wales, commenced his ininis- tcna; career nearly half a century ago at Bedwas in Monmouthshire, where he spent 2i years. From Bedwas he re- mcvod to Brynmawr, where he con- tinued his ministerial efforts under the same association for nine years. It was in 1876 that he came to Lan- dorc to take over the pastorate of Dinas, a position in which he succeeded the late Rev. David Davies. During the time J" has had charge of this place of worship he has accomplished an im- mense amount of good and useful work. With the co-operation of friends he was instrumental in raising a considerable portion of the money required for the building of the present chapel, which was erected in the early eighties, at an approximate cost of L4,000, of which a Sum of about L700 only remains unpaid. Mr. Williams has been the recipient of practically every honour which his denomination could confer, and he was appointed to the presidency of the Welsh Baptist Union in 1902. He was at one time clerk to the Bedwas School Board, and for several years was one of tin most active and energetic members of the cl(I Swansea School Board. In additional to his ministerial duties, Mr. Williams has found time for a great amount of literary work, having for 20 jrears filled the editorial chair of The Beren Cymru," the official organ of the W elsh Baptist denomination. Dr Williams who bears his 73 years was caliod upon to-day by a re- presentative of the "Leader." He said A was quite true that he had tendered \i!:ree months' notice to terminate his position a.s pastor of the chapel, and that to the communication which he had addressed to the church he had Ctth into add. no SMYRNA CHAPEL. -1. I We unuerstanti that it is also tne intention of the Rev. R. B. Lewis, pastor of Smyrna C.M. Chapel, Lan- dcre, to sever his connection with that church during the present year, and .that lie will intimate his desire to re- sign the pastorate to the members at an early meeting. Mr. Lewis has been tit Landore for four years.

CANE THAT FLIRT! I ————— 0- Imw AMERICAN GIRLS PROTECT I THEMSELVES ABROAD Young Boston women who have re- turned Irom trips to Europe, have set a new fashion of carrying swagger sticks. They explain that thev had to carry sticks when abroad as a protection against flirts, and, a-s one of them said: It js almost impossible for a girl to travel about unescorted in any Italian city and escape insults from the fops she encounters. Girls with these little <5ane§ are not molested."

DANGEROUS DRIVING. I FINE IMPOSED ON MOTORIST AT I SWANSEA. At the Swansea Police Court to-day Stephen Bowen was charged with driving a motor car in a manner danger- ous to the public in Brunswick-street. P.C. (114) Price &aid that defendant took the turning from Brunswick-street in Westbury-street at about 15 miles an hour. Witness was about to cross the road, but had to step back to get out of the way. When the car went into 0 Walter-road it nearly ran into two other vehicles. David Jones, chaffeur in the employ of Dr. G. Arbour Stephens, M.D., said that he was in the doorway of the garage when he saw defendants' car come up Brunswick-street. He took the corner very quickly. Mr. John Jones said that he was in the motor car. They were only going at about six or seven miles an nour. .They were on the low gear. Defendant was fined 40s.

TORE AT HERSELF LIKE A RAVING CREATURE. For nearly six months the baby of Mrs. Bishop, Burton Hill, Mahnesbury, iWilts, was covered from head to foot with weeping eczeman. The little one's eyes were sealed up, and she was blind for a whole month. The doctor Used every remedy he could think of, but the eczema continued increasing. The anguish was so great that the poor child writhed and tore at herself like a litte raving creature, and her hands had to be tied down. The doctor gave no hope of saving her. Fortunately, Mrs. Bishop heard of the new discovery Cadum. After she had used Cadum three times the weeping of the eczema ceased, and the sore coating came off like a linseed poultice. After a few weeks' use of Cadum the child had not a speck left on her. The doctor himself said that it was a wonderful cure. Cadum is a new medical discovery, that pan be had from all chemists at 71d. It is good for such skin troubles as eczema, ringworm, scaly skin, itch, rash, black- heads, pimples, sores, eruptions, etc. It stops the itching at once, and begins healing with the first application.

PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS. I MR. HANNEY EXPRESSES HIS I OPINION Oil THE SUBJECT. CRYSTAL PALACE PROTEST. t A "Leader" representative this morn- ing interviewed Mr. Sam Hanney, band- master of Hanney's Military Band, which took second prize at the Crystal Palace on Saturday. Mr. Hanney said that he understood that Mr. Sims, bandmaster of the 6th Welsh had protested against two bands. He did not know the name of the other band. On what grounds ris the protest being made?" asked the pressman, and Mr. Hanney replied: The secretary could not give any information; he told me on Saturday night the grounds of protest had not been stated by the bandmaster of the 6th Welsh. The protesting band has seven days in which to state its parti- cular protest, and I fear 1 will not hear why the protest is being made until seven days hence. I, however, under- stand that the charge agairxst our band I is that we have employed professionals. Professionalism. I don't know what would be called I professionalism. One of our players works in the day time, and at night he assists the orchestra in the Morrseton Picturedrome. Two others are em- ployed at various theatres in Swansea. Of course, the money they earn by play- ing at night is not the chief source of income with them. What they earn at night would be more like pocket money, as they are in regular employment dur- iing the day. If you take that as pro- fessionalism, we may call Mr. 8jm& him- self a pm-fessional. He lives by teach- ing music. He teaches music to his band." The Main Point. I But still," added Mr. Hanney, "the I main point, lis this: whatever may be the result of the protest, we have taken second prize, and have beaten the 6th Welsh. Personally, I regret this in- fusion of enmity between the two bands. For myself, the 6th Welsh don't trouble me. 1 don't care what they do; and even if they were to beat us at the Palace, I wouldn't be such an unsports- manlike man as to protest against them. I don't call it good sport at all; on the other hand, it is quite the converse." Well, what are you going to do?" asked our representative. Coing to Fight. We are going to fight it by all means, and we hope to win. We have not employed professionals in the true meaning of professionalism. For in- stance, one of the men who, 1 under- stand, H. protested against is a flute player, and he happens to be the only tiute player there. Now we have to en- gage a iitito player, and no one can play til the band unless he is a member of the hand. This young man has been brought up in the band, and has been a member for many, many years. The same applies to the other two, also. If we were to dispense with their services, we should be unable to compete at the Palace, because wo could not engage anybody to take their place. I think that our caoo hardly needs defending; we have 4dono what any other band would do. If the protest against us is sustained, I am of the opinion a protest could be sustained against every band that competed." In conclusion, Mr. Hanney said that even if the protest were sustained, the 6th Welsh would not have come second, for the Reading Temperance Band would be in front of them. MR. SIMS' VIEWS. I Why the Protest was Lodged at Palace. I Seen by a "Leader" representative this morning, Mr. W. J. Sims, band- master of the 6th Batt. Welsh Regi- ment, whose band came fourth, said that they had entered a protest against the eligibility of Hanney's Military Band on the ground of professionalism, as defined in the regulations govern- ing the competition. The band was not this time entered as the band of the 1st Welsh (Howitzer) Brigade, R.F.A., so that they would npt be liable to the rule enforcing that all members of Territorial bands should be enlisted men. Hanney's combina- tion was numerically very strong-the maximum limit was forty-two—and this the 6th Welsh alleges was due to the inclusion of several professionals. The grounds of protest will be for- warded to London in the course of the next few days. Speaking of the competitions, Mr. Sims said: "The standard of the mili- tary band section was far superior to last year's standard. The 3rd Buffs, who took the first prize, were a really fine band. A curious thing was that of the three bands that came first last year not one was placed. The first did not compete, and the second aud third were nowhere. The Swansea bands werq the only ones to be placed again this year,"

LANCLAND TRACEDY. DATE OF INQUEST ON BODY OF MISS PERKS. The inquest touching the death of Miss Amy Perks, whose body was found at Lamb's Well, Langland, on Satur- day last, will take place to-night at the Mumbles Police Station. This sad affair has cast quite a gloom in the village. The deceased wa.s a young woman of a prepossessing appear- ance and was very much respected and highly spoken of by all who knew her. Her mother, who is a widow, resides, at Gloucester-place, Mumbles, having lost her husband a couple of years ago. Mnch sympathy is expressed towards her in her sad bereavement.

I BRAVO, OTTERS I WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIP FOR SWANSEA TEAM. The principal item on the programme of the Newport Swimming Club's gala on Saturday night was the final for the Welsh Water Polo Championship be- tween Swansea Otters and Penarth, in which Swansea won by four goals to three after an even interval score of one goal each. Parsons, the Penarth goalkeeper, played a very smart game in second half. Swansea scored through J. Jennings, C. R. Connor (2) and G. Wilkinson. The scorers for Penarth were S. E. Kaiser (2), and W. Street. The Swansea side was composed of the following:—Goal, Bert Palmer; backs, C. E. Jones (capt.), and W. Doherty half-back, J. Jennings; for- wards, C. Connor, B. Jordan and G. Wilkinson. Mr. H.

He was medically attended, and the injury was found not to be very serious.

"THAT FREE PRESCRIPTION 1 IS WONûEHFUL." 'I'M ENTIRELY RID OF MY PAINS.' I A message from Hull: "You ought to publish this for the benefit of others, as I am sure this prescription is the most wonderful thing I have ever tried. My pains were so bad that I had not slept for weeks, and the night the chemist filled it for me I slept for eight hours. Now I haven't a pain, the Sci- atica or Lumbago, or whatever it was, is gone, and my wife is cured of her bad neuralgic headaches. It's truly wonder- ful. "This is the prescription just as I cut it from the paper. Ask you nearest chemist for 60 grains of Kephaldol in tablet form. Two tablets will give in- stant relief, and an occasional one will banish the pain entirely, I think per- I manently. My family always keep the ¡ prescription handy."

PASTORS AND PEOPLE. EVAN R8BESFS SISTER IN A SWANSEA PULPIT. j BROTHERHOOD CAMPAiSH. I (Edit-ed by H LAOS.") I In her public ministrations, it would seem as if Miss M. E. Roberts, sister of the well-remembered Evan Roberts, has the subsidiary aim of rehabilitating in the Roberts family a reputation of level lteadedness Poor Evan Roberts has suffered to the full the outrages of the fickle mob, who first made him an unwilling hero, and then despised him for alleged futile emotional ism. x That the Welsh revival of 1904 has a real spiritual movement is shown by the fact that men who came under its in- fluence paid their debts, took their children off the parish, and voluntarily delivered themselves up to i listice. But there were excresences, and it befei the simple collier lad to have his name and fame connected with the ciiaff, the froth and the sensationalism ot the Revival. Evan Roberts, quite unjustly, became synou} la for evanescent fervour with no boit-om to it. Miss M. E. Roberts, who has been recently appointed on the staff of the Primitive Methodist Institute for Girls, Jamestown, Calabas, West Africa, assisted in the Harvest Festival at Peli- street on Sunday evening. She is a pleasant young lady, a stu dent, above all, a reasoner. Her enunciation is almost painfully exact, down to the details of vowel and final consonant. Feeling is repressed. She quotes, most effectively for the advancement of her theme, from quite a variety of writers. There is evidence throughout of acute original thought. Her sermon last night was all meat. There are too few traces even of the Welsh accent in -Allss fewer still of distinctively Welsh sentiment. Miss Roberts is, indeed, a Welsh girl no longer, but a woman of the world. Whether by the suppression of cer- tain of the individuality, and by practically following a manuscript in- stead of free talking, more is lost than gained is a moot point. Yet the actual result is-so good that the sympathetic critic is fain to leave well alone. Miss Roberts, who docs not leave for South Africa until next year, and hopes bo visit Pell-street again in J almary. is to help the Primitive Methodists of Gorseinon next Sunday. • It is safe to say," observes Mr. Oswald Ling, bookseller, of the Alex- andra Arcade that to a very sad de- gree, the Church has lost its power in !-he world." This has been accounted for (,n various grounds, and the almost univer- sal decision has been to try to meet the world's demands by worldly means. The Church has lowered itsglorious dignity, and has lost its primary func- tion in the world as a spiritual organisa- tion "He thinks the pastors are, to a large degree responsible. The watchmen on the tower have Iveen listening to the >crice of the people and of the age, instead 'of getting a jl vision of the crucified Master they pro- 'I (fess to ærVff. T If the Church got back to God, back to the bosom of God's Jove, and leaned hard on the Spirit's power, the world would yet acknowledge its superior position. If ye know these things, happy arv ye if ye do them," he concludes. I have to thank Mr. Ling for his evi- dently sincere and earnest communica- tioa.

ANCIENT ARMOUR. Mr. T. S. Johnston, art dealer and curio collector, Swansea, has recently come into the possession of an interest- ing relic of the days of Charles I. It is a complete set of armour, dating from the days of that monarch, in its original condition. It is similar to the armour worn by Charles in his famous portrait by Vandyke. This particular specimen fitted a small man. It is believed to be the only one in the district, and is worth at least RIOO.

iRUGBY BOMBSHELL., I ——— ——— OWEN AND JERRAM LEAVING FOR WI GAN. SWANSEA'S BIGGEST BLOW FOR YEARS. Pendragon" writes: For several weeks Northern Union Clubs have been angling for Dodger Owen and S. Jerram, the two brilliant Swansea half-backs. It was known that Jerram had been approached. individually by one big club, and that he had refused to leave the town without his partner. .A few days ago rumour was again busy concerning the movement's of the (ouple. When Owen and Jerram were spoken to on the subject however, they ?wntrad?Cted the statement that they were going North, and so once more the I minds of their admirers were set at rest. I The Bombshell. I The writer all along had the know-I ledge that the youngsters were not un- favourably disposed towards one of the I offers made, but he was s.-arc?y pre- pared for this morning's bombshell. It seems that the representative of I the Wigan Club was in Swansea yester- I day and this morning, and that every- thing was definitely fixed up. At nine o'clock this morning I called a.t Jerram's house to confirm the news. j Jerram was out. He had. it was I stated, gone to meet" Dodger" Owen I 8. JERRAM. I and the Northern Union representa- tive with a view to making the final? arrangements for the journey. Asked whether he was definitely I going the lady who answered the door replied: "Yes, we didn't want him to go, but he's going. He told us he had made up his mind yesterday. He has been packing up this morning." From which it is evident that all plans for the journey are complete. I The Terms. I From another source I learn that the couple are being paid £ 180 each, and that the money will be prr d over before they leave. Their intention is to go away to-dav. I Swansea's Biggest Blow far Years. I By general consent the blow is the biggest sustained by the Swansea. Club for years. Owen and Jerram gave promise of developing into the mcst unorthodox couple in the country, Receiving their football education with Baycliffe, they were years ago the best pair in the League. Then they plavecli for the Seconds. Last season they got their chance with Swansea. Jerram; came into the side as an inside half, partnerinp-W. J. Trew and played bril-j liantly. His ability to play equally well at inside and outside half was a distinct asset. "Dodger" Owen, his partner, had, however, to be included in the side as time went on, for such superla- tive merit could not be overlooked. The loss is one from which Swansea will not quickly recover. I N.U. Agents' Appreciation. The IN igan t.Jlub had sent two re- presentatives to conclude r.nrange- ments-Messrs. Prescott and Hodgson. Tnese gentlemen were naturally very pleased with their captures. Asked by "Pendragcn" whether he had seen the couple play, the latter said: "Oh, yes. I saw them play on Saturday. They are a very clever couple, but you in Swansea have not seen them at their best. They will make a big name for themselves at Wigan." I C OWE N. "Y es," interposed Mr. Prescott, "in the old days we used to come to Wales and take away the "has beens." Now we are getting the youngsters." ] Proceeding, Mr. Hodgson said that. there wore four or five Welshmen play- ing for Wigan. "Percy Coldrich." he said, is absolutely the best torward playing the game. We have also Gwyn Thoma.s and Johnny Thoma-. Wkran is the richest club in the Northern Union, so you can see that the boys have made no mistake." The Signing On. The signing on did not take place until after 11 o'clock. It was done at a High-street Hotel. Jerram told the writer—who was on the premises with him at the time—that in addition to the payment down, he and Owen would re- ceive L2 10s. for each match won, £ 2 5s. for a draw, and £ 2 for a loss After the money had been paid over. th two r :1 "1' n;{"fi."d n the banK with the object o? Ifcmking it. Owen and Jerram left ior Wigan in the early afternoon. They had intended to catch the 11.45. but the process of getting money telegraphed took too much time. I- I Youthful P layers. It is of interest that Owen is 20 years of rad Jerram 21. They will prob-j a my fieit) the A team on Satorday against Runcorn "A." What Will Swansea Do? The question naturally arises as to what Swansea will now do for half- backs. My own idea is that for next Saturday's match with the Albion the best course would be to play Johnny Griffiths at inside-half and W. J. Trew in the outside portion. Other names suggesting themselves are those of Aif Thomas and Burchell. I hear very good reports of the Pen- clawdd couple. Perhaps a trial in the Seconds would serve to demonstrate their worth.

LINEN GUILD. VISCOUNTESS VilLiERS TO OPEN FORTHCOMING EXHIBITION. We understand that the second annual exhibition in ronneetion with the Swansea Hospital Linen Guild is to be held on Wednesday, November oth, and the committee have been able to secure the Drili Hall for the occasion. It announced that Viscountess Villiers, accompanied bv her husband, Yiscount Yilkens, the son of the Earl of Jersey, has kindly consented to open the exhibition. The Hospital la-st year, rt will be re- membered, benefited to a very large ex- tent through the efforts of tlie jLinen Guild, and we svneerelr hope the same enthusiasm" ill pi-evai- l thi.s year. The prospects are very blight, and the ladies of the Guild are working hard in the large area which the Hospital covers, to bring the Guild up to the ltlgh standard which it attained last year.

To allay itching and irritation of the scalp, prevent dry, thin and failing hair, remove crusts, scales and dand- ruff, and promote the growth and beauty of the hair, the following special treatment is most effective, agreeable and economical. On retiring, comb the hair out straight all around, then begin at the side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Ointment into Uie parting with a bit of soft flannel held over the end of the finger. Anoint additional partings about half an inch apart until the whole scalp has been treated, the purpose being to get the Cuticura Ointment on the scslp skin i-athet- than on the h<;ir. It is well to place a light covering over the hair to protect the pillow trom passible stain. The next morning, shampoo with Cuti- cura Soap and hot water.

I Comments from the Evening Papers. I The London evening papers comment on Mr. Redmond's speech. The Westminster Gazette saya that if it were not for the hereditary feud between Protestant and Catholic, Sir Edward Carson would have no backing in his counsels of violence, and but for the same cause Home Rule would before now have passed with the consent of both parties. The "Pall Mall Gazette" observes that Mf. Redmond has issued his orders. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Asquith will "tremblingly obey." The Star remarks that the Liberals are at one with the Irish leader in saying. "We will not betray H Home Rule. The "Globe" ays the speeches of Sir Edward Carson and Mr. Redmond have shown that the gulf which divides them is too vast for English states- manship to bridge. Mr..As^uith's duty is to recommend the Sovereign to seek other advisers "who are free to ask for that dissolution of Parlia- ment which we all perceire to he the only means of escape from the net jia which the country is entangled."
