BARRY RATEPAYERS PROTEST. AGAINST THE ATTITUDE OF THE DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE SMALL POX HOSPITAL AND LICENSED BRAKES.^ A meeting of the Barry District Ratepayers' Association was held on Tuesday evening last at the Regent Hall, Barry Docks, Mr S. R. Jones presiding, and the policy of the District Council was criticised on all and sundry public questions. Mr W. Phillips, Cadoxton, opened the ball by moving a resolution that a deputation be' sent to the next meeting of the District Council to protest against the proposed expenditure of nearly £ 10,000 upon the erection of a permanent small pox hospital, contending that if such places as Bristol. -&c, could be content with small improvised premises for the purposes, a temporary building, involving an expenditure of d6900 or £1,000 would be amply sufficient for the needs of Barry for many years to come. There was no justification for the squandering of d610,000 especially now when the prices of building material was so high. The Council were in his opinion, intoxicated with the spending of public money, and it was the duty of the ratepayers to put a stop to this prodigality. -The motion was seconded, but Mr B. G. Davies, solicitor, rose to move an amendment to what he described as The sermon on the Mount" and copybook maxims and platitudes," and advocated the convening of a public meeting of ratepayers for the discussion of the question. Alderman Meggitt, he said, was opposed to the permanent hospital scheme, but perhaps his motive of retrenchment was to secure his own return next April.—Mr David seconded.—Mr James Price was of opinion that if a public meeting were held it would be packed by officials of the Council. The district was under the thumb of Mr J. A. Hughes, the clerk to the Council, and if Mr Meggitt and Mr Hughes were present the rate- payers would be afraid to speak. — Mr W. T. Medhurst advocated asking the Council to continue the temporary building for a time, and if they refused, a public protestation meeting could be held. — Mr J. E. Evans, Mr W. Cruise, and others took up the refrain and Mr W. H. Burrough said at Newport a very small building sufficed for a small pox hospital.—The 'Chairman reviewed the action of the Council in the matter, culminating in Dr O'Donnell's motion being carried for the erection of the permanent hospital. The Council, he said, had trifled with the question like children, and he suggested that a deputation wait upon the Council at their next meeting to urge the advisability of transferring the temporary hospital to the site of the per- manent hospital, and that the main scheme be deferred for the present.—This was agreed to, and Messrs S. R. Jones, W. Phillips, W. Cruise, John Cruise, W. T. Medhurst, and W. H. Hooper were appointed a deputation. The brake-licensing question was then raised by Mr John Jones and Mr A. G. Adams, strong pro- tests being expressed against the action of the Council in granting a monopoly to ply for hire in the town to two proprietors, and refusing licenses to all the others.—Mr James Price said he would run in spite of the Council if he were a brake- owner, and appeal to a higher court against the decision of the local magistrates.—The Chairman maintained that the Council had acted harshly. They had no right to grant a monopoly, and the recent proceedings of the Council in the matter Were a perfect farce.—Messrs W. Phillips, W. Jenkins, and W. Cruise followed in like strain, the former suggesting that if a monopoly was to be granted at all, it should be let to the highest bidder.—Messrs W. H. Burrough, W. Tame, and — Reeves were appointed a committee to prepare a report on the matter. The question of the alleged inequality of charges by the District Council for private improvements was deferred till the next meeting.

PURSUIT OF A HARE AT BARRY DOCKS. v ip olden days game was plentiful in the neigh- beErfatJOtl of Barry Island, but on the construction Of the docks the furry elements of sport gradually disappeared. One day last week, however, a fine hare made its appearance alongside the Barry No. 2 Dock, having probably strayed from oovflr at Sully. The visitor was espied by some coal- trimmers and tippers who were,? rQ1-aoj „nf3 -e Ships. A hue-and-cry was promptly raised, and in a few minutes quite a couple of hundred men and several dock constables were in bot pursuit. Pass failed to get back to the open, and sought temporary refuge by leaping into the dock and swimming for dear life towards the other side. A couple of trimmers put out in a boat and rowed in pursuit, but one of the crew of a vessel lying close by flung a lump of coal at the fugitive. The aim was true the hare was struck on the head, and it sank and was drowned.

REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS. "THE NATIONAL WAIFS MAGAZINE." In the June issue of the "National Waifs' Magazine," the organ of the National Waifs' Association—otherwise known as Dr Barnardos Homes—Dr Barnardo has a crowded story to tell of a huge task and of inadequate means to cope With it. Each year," writes Dr Barnardo, the field widens the young recruits from waifdom increase. To-day I have over 5,300 recruits in my rescued army. Every week 60 more are added, and my gates can never be shut. Last year was the greatest year in my annals it saw no fewer ■3,011 freshly and freely admitted to the Homes." A. considerable space in this issue is absorbed by the annual report for 1899, just presented to the Council of the Association. This document 'Contains a wonderful series of statistics, indicating the progress of the Homes and the large develop- ment which they have attained. The Personal ifotes," are, as usual, full of interest to all social reformers. They are admirably illustrated from photographs. Announcement is made of the Founder's Day celebration in connection with the Homes, which is to take place at Stepney- causeway, on Saturday, 7th July, when many Interesting doings will occur. A copy of the magazine will be sent gratis and post free to any address on application to the head-quarters of the Association, 18-26, Stepney-causeway, London, E.

THE GLADSTONE-ROAD LOCAL GOVERN- MENT INQUIRY. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-An attempt was made in the foot-note of a letter published last week to discredit the position taken up by Mr Donald Maclean in reference to the above, which though it failed in its object, yet certainly proves the truth of the old adage that a drowning man will even clutch at a straw. Messrs Cutter and Williams, with a number of other ratepayers, signed a requisition last August, and again another in September, calling a rate- payers' meeting to consider the approach of the Gladstone-road, not, be it understood, the advis- ability or otherwise of having a thoroughfare, for in the words of Councillor Jose at the Cadoxton Public Hall, "There were not two opinions as to the necessity of the road coming out into Weston- square to open up the district." At this meeting of ratepayers the following resolution was carried, supported by Mr James Cruise, That owing to the large amount of traffic anticipated from the new and additional docks constructed and about to be con- structed on Cadoxton Moors, and for the purpose of uniting the various sections of the town, con- sidered essential to its proper development, this meeting of Barry ratepayers urges upon the District Council the necessity of acquiring the plot of ground left unscheduled on the plan of the pro- posed Gladstone-road, and further to proceed to construct the same according to the Council's first suggestion and original plan, viz., from the centre of Weston-square to Love's Quarry." This resolution having been signed by the chair- man of the meeting, who was also the chairman of the District Council, Mr Cutter was appointed to present it before the Cardiff Confirming Licensing Committee, and the same gentleman was moreover appointed, with others, as a deputation to urge on the Council, through the Public Works Committee, the necessity of proceeding with the Gladstone-road, and restoring the original plan. It is only fait to certain members of the Council, as well as the general public, to state that, on the proposition of Alderman J. C. Meggitt, J.P., seconded by Capt. Murrell, it was decided "That the District Council, having regard to the desirability of constructing the proposed new thoroughfare (Gladstone-road) leading from the Cardiff-road, thus avoiding the steep incline of Weston Hill, respectfully urges the County Licensing Com- mittee not to confirm the provisional license for the proposed hotel granted at the Barry Brewster Sessions on the 26th of August, 1898." Owing, however, to the persistent and even obstinate opposition offered by a few on the Council, who took advantage of every method of procedure possible, the efforts of the above two gentlemen, and those who supported them to carry out the Gladstone-road as proposed and foreshadowed in the resolution of the Council, and over the site of the Osborne Hotel, were frustrated, and their repeated attempts were every time defeated, with the result that the site had to be abandoned, the road diverted, and an arrangement made. The responsibility for the abandonment of the original plan, the diversion of the road, and the agreement made, though the whole Council was ultimately a party to it, must rest decidedly if not entirely with the two or three members of the ,Council, supported by a few individuals outside, who had opposed the road at the first inquiry, and most of them again were stoutly against the loan. Should the Osborne ever succeed in obtaining a license, or should this huge building have to be bought by the ratepayers of Barry at a fabulous price ten years hence, as predicted by Mr James Cruise in his speech, October 2nd, 1899, when he said That the time would come when they (the Council) would again be forced to buy up the site for the convenience of the public and the develop- ment of the district there," the gentlemen who have opposed this road all along the line will have the melancholy satisfaction of knowing that they themselves, their attitude and policy, are account- able for it all. The support which Mr Maclean gave to the Gladstone-road at the inquiry re loan, therefore while seeking to restore the original scheme, is in perfect accord with the object of the Cadoxton ratepayers' meeting, the wording of the resolution presented at Cardiff, and the addresses of members of the deputation before the Public Works Com- mittee, and the discharge of duties relegated to us by the Cadoxton ratepayers, vouched for by the signatures of Messrs Cutter, Williams, and a large number of ratepayers and owners of property, to the extent of nearly £ 40,000 in the Cwms, and near the Gladstone-road, and all the other rate- payers, while seeking to restore the road as originally planned, which all admit to be the superior scheme, were at the same time mostanxious that it should be clearly pointed out that they were eager for the road, and did not by any means support the faction whose only object it seems was to defeat the Gladstone-road.

THE COLLECTION FOR DR. BARNARDO'S WAIFS AT BARRY. To the Editor of the" BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,-In your issue of last week we noticed a paragraph in which two inmates of Culley's Hotel were brought into question, and as we are the ladies referred to, we beg you will give a small space in your valuable paper to allow us to let the gentleman know that we resent the familiar style of being so spoken of in a public paper. It is quite true we assisted the little boy in collecting the amount named, but had we known what the result would have been we should have hesitated before giving assistance even for a charitable cause. It has caused us great annoy- ance, and think the gentleman owes us a personal apology for being the means of it. If he reflects a little he will acknowledge we are entitled to the same respect as though we were at home. Thank- ing you in anticipation,-Faithfully yours, THE YOUNG LADIES REFERRED TO.

THE BARRENNESS OF BARRY ISLAND. To the Editor of the" BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,—" Many a time and oft" in your valuable paper has attention been called, but in vain, to the deficiences of Barry Island as regards conveniences for the public. The time has now arrived-if it is not, even now, too late-when something must be done. Last Saturday and Monday, for instance, no fewer than between 6,000 and 7,000 persons came by excursion trains to Barry Island. It turned out showery on both days. Where were they to go ? What were they to do ? There are no shelters, no convenience, no attractions of any sort, in a word, no, nothing I" There is not a public convenience of any sort on the Island, not to mention such a necessity as a ladies' lavatory. Now, Sir, I have not the slightest doubt that more than one-half of the many thousands of people who visited Barry last week will never come near the place again owing to lack of accommodation, convenience, and attraction. The District Council, I understand, is willing to do what it can but apparently the estate people in their wisdom (?) do not see the necessity for any of these things. I maintain, Sir, that the present state of things constitutes a serious menace to the future pros- perity of Barry Island as a watering place and seaside resort. As everyone knows the favour of the people is fickle at the best; and once it is lost it is next to impossible to woe it back again, and by the time that Barry Island-at its present slow rate of progress, if progress it can be called-will have become a decent place of public resort, the public will have become disgusted with it, and turned their backs on it for ever. With all the unmerous attractions—though with fewer natural advantages—that other seaside places offer- Weston, for instance-how can Barry hope to com- pete when it is so hopelessly in the back ground f It is really pitiable to see the poor people wander- ing aimlessly about the town, trying to take shelter under doorways, &c. Another season like the present one, unless better provision is made for wet weather, and the Island, as a pleasure resort, is doomed One has only to go among the visitors and hear them talk to realise this. Shelters and conveniences are absolutely demanded, and a pavilion and promanade very desirable. At present there is nothing there. Oh, the pity of it! "-Yours faithfully, EARNEST WELL-WISHER.

CRIME ON THE HIGH SEAS. BARRY MAN CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER. At Winchester Assizes on Monday last, George Francis M'Gough, of Barry, was convicted of manslaughter on the high seas and sentenced to fifteen months' hard labour. While the steamer Ruslington, from Cardiff with coals, was at Santos on March 10th, M'Gough who was intoxicated after having been ashore, wanted to fight, and fastened on a sailor named Dwyer, also of Barry, whom he butted in the stomach, and as alleged threw him over the hatchway into the hold, 20ft. deep, causing death. The defence was that the affair was an accident.

INDUSTRIAL TROUBLE AT BARRY. RAILWAYMEN HANDED IN NOTICES THIS WEEK. The guards and brakesmen in the employ of the Barry Railway Company having applied for an advance of wages from 30s to 33s per week, the request has been refused by the management. The men met on Saturday evening last to consider the reply of the general manager, and as the result of the conference a resolution was arrived at to send in notices to cease work unless the demand was acceded to. These notices were handed in on Tuesday, and the men will come out on strike at the close of the fortnight in the event of their application for an increase of wages continuing unsuccessful. The notices sent in represent 117 workmen.

WITH DUNDONALD UNDER THE SHADOWS OF MAJUBA. "BULLER IS THE BEST MAN OUT HERE." LETTER FROM POSTMAN BAILEY, OF BARRY, AT THE FRONT. Writing to Mr R. G. Williams, of the Post Office, Barry Docks, Lance-corporal E. P. Bailey, No. 2,793, C" Company, 2nd Devon Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 1st Division South Africa, under date June 3rd, 1900, from Ingogo River, states DEAR CHUM,—It gives me great pleasure in answering your kind and welcome letter, as I am answering the both together, just to let you know that I am still alive and kicking, and hope to con- tinue so for another couple ot months, when I trust to be in England. I think I dropped you a line or two when I was at Newcastle. We left there last Monday, and marched in here. We can see Majuba plainly in front of us, and our troops are holding a large hill in front called Mount Prospect. Lord Dundonald is up there with the Cavalry, and the 4th Brigade is up there also, and General Hildyard and another General are on our right. They say that there is another party coming down from the Orange Free State. We know that Lord Roberts is in Johannes' •«•, so the party of Boers that we have here completely cut off, as they cannot get back any further than Johannes- burg. They fired a few shells on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but they have not fixed since. Some one goes out every morning from our camp with a white flag, but we do not get any informa- tion as to what he goes out for. There are rumours about camp that it is to give the Boers a stated time to decide whether they will give in, or otherwise fight, but of course you cannot believe all the rumours that you hear in camp. There is another rumour that they have got another three days to decide if they prefer fighting. I suppose we can oblige them, as at the present time we have close on 90 big guns here pointed at different places — some on their guns, others on their trenches, and we have also four pointed on their laager or camp, so when we once start they will get fits, or otherwise they will be starved to death, as they cannot get any further supplies from Pretoria. I do not like the idea of Lord Roberts critioising Buller, as Buller is the best man out here. Lord Roberta relieved Kimberley, and also got into Bloemfontein, on Buller's plans in fact, the same thing could have been done if Roberts had not come out at all. All that was wanted was more troops. Roberts has only just now started on his own. Besides he has not the same kind of country aronnd the Orange Free State as Buller had in Natal. We must give Buller his due. Everyone on this side worships him, and would go anywhere with him. Also the same must be said of General Clery and General Hildyard. I am sorry to hear that there has been a rumour to the effect that I am wounded, which is not true, although I have had some narrow escapes. I do not think there will be much chance of getting any Kruger pennies, as the officers are offering £1 10s for one, as they are seldom used out here. That is what makes them so scarce. I must thank you very much for forwarding the Barry Dock News every week, as I am able to see all the news I wish for. Please to remember me to all enquir- ing friends, and all at the Post Offioe. I must now conclude with my best wishes, from your affectionate chum, E. B. BAILEY.

GENTLEMEN,—I beg to inform you that I have derived unspeakable benefit from Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. I was so weak when I first took it that I could not walk to the fireside without the assistance of my mother, although I was at the time taking medicine that I had from GWILYM doctors, which did me no good. One EVANS' day a friend told me of Gwilym QUININE Evans' Quinine Bitters, and after I BITTERS had taken it I felt better in a short FOR time. I have unbounded faith in WEAKNESS. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, and I thoroughly believe that I would have been dead were it not for the fact that I took it and I wish to recommend it as the best remedy I ever had for weakness, and I wish everyone to try it, as I am certain they will derive benefit by 80 doing. Yoars faithfully, ELLEN WILLIAMS. TESTIMONIAL. DEAR Sni.Some time ago I was greatly troubled with Bile and Indigestion, and was advised to make a trial of your renowned preparation, viz.—Gwilym Evans* Quinine Bitters and Digestive Pearls; and it is with much pleasure I testify to the great benefit I received from their use. I have taken several 4s 6d bottles GWILYM of Bitters, and am resolved to keep EVANS' a bottle always at hand and take a QUININE daily dose an hour before breakfast; BITTERS for it has not only banished the FOR headaches I frequently suffered INDIGESTION, from, and neuralgia and rheumatic pains and other ailments which often troubled me are gone for ever, I hope, but I can also add it has been effectual in removing the Bile and Iudigestien. I find that it has- improved my appetite, purified the blood, and enlivened my spirits. I have recommended it to several others, who now highly praise it as an effectual remedy for different ailments. I remain, sir, Yours gratefully, JAMES DAVIES (Iago Tegemg), House and Estate Agent.
