THE Obstreperous Feminine.
THE Obstreperous Feminine. The following is the Gentlewoman's opinion on the obstreperous feminine :—Everybody knowa that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," but no one could foresee, when the higher educa- tion of woman was mooted, to what dangers the earlier stages of wisdom might lead. That an advanced form of culture is beneficial to all, persons I do nob prebend to doubt, bub recent experiences poinb to the fact that the initial phases of erudition have had an unhinging and demoralising effect on the Incipient female scholar. Her brain has become, not the seat of noble and psychio problems, but of vulgarian prurience and hysterical fantasy. In short—a little learn- ng hath made her ruad Like a gin-drink- lug babel tug, she has imbibed the intoxicants of knowledge without its aliments, svnd thus Stunted her growth. More than thie, in the in- ebriation of newly acquired truths she has given vent to a loquacity which condemns indis- criminately and fails to convince. Of all confes- sions of ignorance, that of the advanced sex twaddlist is the most complete and the most de- grading. Armed with the crudest of physiologi- cal facts, HHIii STARTS ON HKR CAMPAIGN, and courts a following of the useless and anarchical, who have no individuality but the nose-led acquiescence of the calf. The much- matured matron, the unmarketable damosel, the ill-favoured spinster flock in her wake, and con- vert the modern drawing-room into a battlefield or dissection theatre for the analysis of constitutional peculiarities which are the necsssary heirlooms of the human condition. Were an artist student to offer his primitive anatomical drawings as decorations for the academy walls his works would promptly be ex- pelled yeb the lady prosecutrix of physical re- search is permitted to spread her unenlightened opinions broadcast, under the title of literature, to the detriment of innocent minds and the general ruination of the social tone. That these PURVEYORS OF SUPERFICIAL SCAVENGKRING should be permitted to class themselves as repre- sentative women of the day is a perpetual grief to educated ladies, who merely seek after learning and independence the better to fit themselves for the motherhood of the coming race, or for a more promising position as helpmeets to husbands, brothers, or partners in the mundane transactions from which progress and education no longer exclude them. That this cancerous growth called tiie New Woman," with its indelicate unveiling of all that is basest of the mortal, and studious ignoring of all that is noblest of the God-image inan-should be permitted to corrupt the ear of society, is highly to be deprecated. Are our young girls to associate knowledge and culture with this odious fashion of physical anttlysis ? Are they to be educated to stand cheek by jowl with loathliness from which man in his highest moments turns away ? Cannot some silent pro- test be made by the refined and learned gentle- woman cf to-day against the branching out of this bane, which, germinating in the mentally impure, will in time penetrate to the pure t Can there be no cessation of this MASQURRADE OF MORALITY, tliat infikes the carnal, rather than tho psycln- cal, the all-pervading aud unsavoury interest 'if the hour ? In the leading article of The Quarterly the author has expressed some very cogent remarks on the vexed and vexing question, but lie lias regrettably overshot his aim and gone very wide afield. The female athlete, the blue- stocking, and the politician, whom he condemns, are at least houost scorchers after truth and use- fulness, and nob base betrayers of their kind, bartering all the sacred reserve of womanhood and the chivalric reticence of man for a mess ot pottage offered up by the adventurous publisher. Tho confounding of types is the greatest wrong that can befall the weaker vessel, and in the strike of a sex this wrong-unwittingly, no doubt-has been committed. There is no reason why a nineteenth century woman should not en- joy" rugged strength and stores of erudition." They are QUALITIES WHICH PERFECTLY FIT HER I to carry out the calling which, in the language of Mr Carpenter, is to bear children, to guard them, to teach them, to turn them out strong and healthy citizens of the great world." But there are very serious reasons why no lady with average intelligence and feminine grace would be willing to asöociate herself or her ideas with the objection- able excrescence on the face of Society known as the "New Woman." This being the case, it behoves gentlewomen of culture and education, of standing and influence, to discountenance an advance of modernism which undermines the t) tioii respectful relations that have hitherto beautified social intercourse. It is imperative that we who have adored and honoured kinsmen should stand firm against the tide now threatening to sweep all pilgrims on the road to knowledge into one vast debating ground, where the activity of the spiritual and the potency of the loveable in frail human creatures is utterly ignored.

Dear Sir,—I am a poor hand at expressing: my feel- ings, but I should like to thank you. Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of Tracheotomy (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could posibly liavo had a more violent cough it was so bad at time that it quite exhausted me. The roueu" which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty.—I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL." J^EATING'S LOZENGES. The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Heating's Cough Lozenges is understated. The operation was A specially severe one. and was performed by the specialist. Dr. H. T. Butliu, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the use of these Lozenges. So successful are they that one affords immediate relief, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is intense. WEIGHT IN GOLD. Under date Sept. 3, Mr Hill writes :1 ilhould long since have been dead, but for your Lozenges— that) are worth their weight in gold. I will gladly see and tell anyone what a splandid cough remedy they are." Heating's Lozenges are sold in tins, Is 1 %d each.

-0 The Man About Town. Is Cardiff to have a C.al Fep.st ? Since I ventured to mike the suggestion several interested ones have expressed their opinions upon the topic, and whilst all agree that it would be "a good thing," there is a diversity of opinion on the method and manner of holding it. I received a re- buff, though, from my cynical friend. Hold a Coal Feast ? not they they're too busy making money," he jerked out. I fled in silence. „ The name's against it," observes one critic, though he does not mention a better. But why not Coal oast ? It would hardly do to describe it as a Colliers' Feast," that would be a misnomer, though a banquet which would serve the pur- pose of making the staple business of the town known and bring the business men and principal citizens together once a year would be as welcome under one title as another. The same correspondent observes that it would be too much to expect the Mayor in any year to send out invitations for such a gathering, and suggestsacommitteeanda sub- scription banquet in order to make the meet- ing thoroughly representative of the tr-ide interests of the Port. Jfc Caledonian, Pembrokeshire, Devonshire, and Tynesiders' Banquets are held annually in Cardiff. Why nota thoroughly representa- tive gathering of all the principal interests ? The Municipal Banquet is of a special character, and possibly could not well be extended to a Coal Feast, which should be representative of the trade of the port and the principal institutions of the borough. Cardiff, in her lusty youth and vigour, might do well in creating a local custom which would be an excellent means of bringing its chief men of business together once a year, and at the same time help to advertise the town. Bristol has its annual gathering which celebrates its port, Sheffield has its Cutlers' Feast, Colchester its Oyster Feast, and I should be pleased to find ranged by the side of these Cardiff with its Coal Feast. Is there no valiant Knight to take up the sacred cause of Cardiff's progress ? nor Local Poet to celebrate it in song ? 'Tis a worthy theme. J am extremely sensitive and blnshiogly modest On this account I do not claim any credit or to have had any influence in the sudden change of the attitude of the Corporation in regard to the state of the roads and the neglect of the Tramways Company. I only observe that my strictures have been quickly followed by action. The Public Works Committee, following )he" discu!si on of the Tramways Committee on the previous day, have taken definite action, and the company is to be served with notice to put their lines in proper order. At last some- thing is to be done for the long-suff ering mud-stained pedestrian and the users of vehicles who are in constant danger on such roads. A case was mentioned by Councillor Johnston where the wheel of a trap had been wrenched off in endeavouring to get it out of the ruts in the tramway lines. Yesterday brought me a complaint from a Penarth tradesman who recently broke both shafts of his cart in trying to get off the Grangetown section of the tramway lines. I When he brought the matter before the shafts of his cart iu trying to get off the Grangetown section of the tramway lines. When he brought the matter before the Tramway Company he was politely assured that the Company believed their lines to be in reppir-, The mere mention of trams and bad roads has brought me a heavyl grop of complaints and grumbles. I hope the writers will take heart when they notice the action of the Public Works Committee. Were I to use a tithe of these complaints all my space'would be gone. One writer assures me that from Canton Bridge to the top of St. Mary-street a tram stopped— No I will not give the figure. It would be contradicted by a crowd of correspondents. Well, the tram stopped an incredible number of times, and—here is a wrinkle-he has found that it is quicker to walk to business than to spend his pennies and try his temper on the Cardiff trams. So that the blame shall not all be on one side, I feel compelled to give the letter of "A Constant Trammer." He is an Every- day Philosopher and dispenses good advice. Where the cap fits let it be worn. This is a sample of his practical philosophy :— Will you kindly permit me to offer a sugges- tion through your widely-read columns to the Cardiff Tramways Company, whose sysiem may I be described at present as no system." The frequent delays and stoppages are intoler- able to the business community, whose time demands regular vehicular conveyance in which reasonable speed is most important; and this could very easily be attained by method, What is there to prevent systematic stoppages at established points, which would enable pas- sengers to alight at no inconvenient distance from where they desire to proceed to ? This might be so arranged that trams could pass each other in successive order, thus obviating those most aggravating waits which more than anything account for a perfectly ridiculous loss of time on the journeys between the respective termini. As regards the inconsistency of passengers, I have more than once observed people allow a tram to proceed no more than from 10 to 20 yards after it has stopped and call upon the conductor to pull up again. Such want of reason and consideration is not only exceedingly annoying to those who are anxious to reach their destination, but it is also very merciless towards tha horses, which, of course, suffer greatly from a too constantly recurring strain upon them. Selfish individuals who have no idea beyond gratifying their own wishes need something in the way of restraint, and ought to be compelled to conform to rules which have for their object public convenience. ♦ And on another point- We have heard many complaints of the ni. science of conductors but I for one will say that the patience of these men is often severely taxed by people who do not appear to be possessed of thab most desirable attribute, common sense. If such silly creatures cannot have it all their own way an the price of a penny or twopence, and at no matter what cost to others, they immediately commence to bully these hard-worked and useful servants as if they had an exclusive right to their services. Ib is high time this nonsense was put a stop to, and it rests with the authorities and the company to insist upon a complete chango in the manage- ment, so arranging stoppages that each may get a fair share of benefit. A musical friend of mine argues very strongly for the banishment of tho piano from the country as the first necessary step in the musical education of the nation. The piano, he says, is so mechanical and so destructive of the art of listening and the discrimination of sounds that if he were an Emperor of China or the Mikado of Japan he would utter a decree for the removal of the piano from tha home. He would probably dispatch the discarded instrument to the aborigines of Tasmania or some ot.her primitive people who have very limited perceptions of musical sounds. Having banished the mechanical piano and thus ended the more mechanical prodding of nine out of every ten players, young and old, ho would introduce string and reed instruments. If we were confined to these, he is certain that we should soon make very great progress in true musical education. No doubt the piano is responsible for giving thousands of people false ideas as to what music really is. My musical friend is severe on the piano, and when I ventured to say a word for the family musical instru- ment, and suggested that some of the blame might rest wiLh the teachers of music, he could only see the arch offender of his musical ideals and aspirations in that instru- ment. Bearing on this point I notice that an excellent idea is being carried out m one or two suburbs of London. There is a move- ment on foot for giving Concerts for Children." It is pointed out with n good deal of truth that while the training of per- formers is overdone, the important fact is forgotten that it is necessary to give the young opportunities for hearing good music, properly performed, and to teach them the art of listening. To this end I e Saturday afternoon concerts are being arranged, the programmes of which will be taken from the string quartets and trios, vocal and instrumental solos of Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. A short talk will precede each piece, the object being to draw attention to the form and ideas of the music so as to assist, the young people to listen to and appreciate good music. In this way the musical enthusiasts in Cardiff might pro- duce future supporters of the Musical Festival and train members for the Musical and Orchestral Societies, as well as provide an excellent means of true musical enjoy- ment for the young. The idea might with advantage be applied to those who are no longer juveniles except in musical edu- cation. I discovered this morning a contribu- tion from a would-be dweller on Parnassus, who has not yet got beyond the art of rhyming. If he assiduously hails the Muses and courts Minerva he may some day blossom into a Poet, but at present he is attempting the impossible—he is plunging into deep water and breasting the waves when he should be paddling by the margin of the sea safe on the sands of the beach. He entitles his spray, What are We Living For ? or a Call to Action," and proceeds :— What are we living for ? Is ib for wealth, Seeking in that way to gratify self ? What are we living for ? Is it for fame, Trying in that way to earn a good name ? What are we living for ? This is the text; Is it for this world or for the next ? What are we living for ? Is it for time Or for that country where all is sublime? What are we living for ? Is it for pleasure, Sinful amusements heaped up without measure? What are we living for ? once more I will ask Remember in this world we all have our task. Yes, it would be a task to solve this riddle My rhyming correspondent signally fails, of course, but he fares forth boldly in the penultimate verse The harvest is great, but the labourers are few, Come take up your armour, be firm and be true. Whoever heard of a call to arms to gather the harvest ?
SAD CASE OF ABDUCTION. I
SAD CASE OF ABDUCTION. I Louise Michaud, a young girl, who sobbed throughout the proceedings, and Leon Engel- man (27), were brought up at Bow-street Police. court yesterday. The girl was charged by her mother with stealing jewellery. Leon was charged with abduction. Hortense Seconde, the girl's mother, said that her daughter was 16% years of age, "vnd lived with her at Duke-street, Maryle- bone. Last Friday she left the house, taking with her various articles of jewellery which had since been found in the room where sbe had been living with Loon in Little Marylebone-street. The male prisoner said he had known the girl for several months, and she asked him to take her away to avoid scandal, as she was expecting to become a mother. They agreed tollive together, as she was tafraid of her step-father behaving unkindly if-her condition was discovered at home. Mr Vaughan committed the prisoners for trial.

PURE NONSENSE, I
PURE NONSENSE, I A Barrister athe income-tax. I Considerable merit may be legitimately claimed by a barrister who is able to argue before three judges a point of law which is. in the opinion of the Bench, pure nonsense. This feat was ac- complished yesterday by a learned gentleman in the Court of Appeal, who wished to have his client's income-tax reduced. It appears that Mr George Fietcher, of Derby, was at one time assessed by the Income-tax Commissioners at £ 700, but he ot it reduced to less than one-half that sum. The following year thy wished him to P::Y on £ 300, but he said his income was only £ 13. Air Fletcher, h :waver, declined to produce his books, holding that as he was prepared to make to niiike an affidsvit respecting the truth of the return he had furnished tho commissioners were I precluded from making any further inquiry. The commissioners thought otherwise and promptly assessed his income at £300. It was against this tha.t he now appealed, and it was after the barris- ter who appeared for him had exhausted a Urge stock of law and eloquence that the Muster of the Rolls remarked that the learned counsel for the appellant had not only strenuously but very ably argued his case nevertheless, he was compelled to come to the conclusion that the point of law put forward by him was pure nonsense, aud that it was useless to grant a mandamus which would necessitate a nonsensical point of law coming up again for re-argument. Appeal dismissed.
ARI- IN THE BALLET, I
ARI- IN THE BALLET, If the ballet is to survive as an art, or if, to put it in another way, the fine arts are to be awarded more generous recognition in ballet. it should," says the Magazine .¡ A.rt be reformed altogether, and purged of the many absurdities that must vex and perplex the soul of the specta- tor with weird problems. Why should the premiere ckmiseuse start her acrobatic gyrations from the anprle of the usual 'hollow-square' with beseeching glances and outstretched palms ? Why should she snatch up her skirts (a quite superfluous action this) to bestow a smirk of surprised tecognitiou on the foot other than the supporting one; following up this inspiriting exercise with a series of hopping plunges, alternated with a movement compounded in equal pfirts of actions suggesting a swimmer's side stroke and a cat performing its toilet ? The business is a little difficult of description, but anyone who has suffered (the term is used advisedly) the exhibition of it will be enabled to fill up the blanks. The whole action of the ballet is suspended for the purpose of these gambols, which are indulged in with greater or less pre- cision and grace by every prima ballerina assoluta, irrespective of place and period, and the character she is supposed by a popular delusion to be repre- senting. Meanwhile, the corps de ballet, disguised, as a rule, in wigs of a uniform colour that halts half-way between ginfer and mustard, stand around and look on unmoved it does them great credit, and is a thrilling spectacle."
-WOMAN OF THE PERIOD.
WOMAN OF THE PERIOD. An Italian woman has made herself notorious at Villette by the violence of her political feelings, which induced her to fly at every able- bodied Frenchman who crossed her path. She was engaged in attacking a middle-aged man on the outer Boulevards on Thursday night, when her wild career was interrupted by the arrival of the police. The woman was not arrested with ease, and before she could be bundled off to the lock-up by the four constables who were required for the purpose she inflicted serious injuries on one of her captors with her hands, nails, and feet. As she was being conveyed to the station the woman continued to utter bloodthirsty threats against the French, and to chant the praises of her fellow-countrymen who murdered M. Carnot. Her violent conducb reached a climax in the police-station, where she had to be heavily manacled owing to her fury, which, when she could not expend ib on the men in charge of the place, sought a safety valve in the destruction of furniture aud the demolition of windows.

South Wales Coal Trade. MINERS' DELEGATES IN I CARDif F. Round-Table Conference To-day. I SEEKING A MODUS VIVENDI, I Albion Colliery Disaster Fund. To-day, at the Hotel Metropole, Cardiff, a meeting of miners' representatives took place. It took the form of a round-table conference, and was convened for the purpose of effecting a modus vivendi between the sections of Trade Unionist colliers in the South Wales coal- field, so that common action may be taken for the protection of their interests in regard to wages, hours, and conditions of labour. Among other representatives who attended the conference were Mr David Morgan, Aberdare, who presided Mr W. Brace, Newport Mr Isaac Evans, Neath Mr B. Davies, Ystrad Mr Alfred Onions, Pontywaill Mr P. D. Rees, Abaraman Mr T. Richards, Beaufort Mr S. Mills, Aberbeeg Air Lewis Miles, men's secretary on the sliding-sctl committee Mr John Williams, Clydach Vale Mr 1. Edwards, Cyfarbhfa; Mr J. Walters Nantyglo; Mr John Morgans, anthracite district; Mr E. Thomas, Pontlottyn Mr D. Beynon, Maesteg Mr T, D. Isaac, Mr J. Walters, Mr J. Thomas, Garw Mr Morgan Thomas, Treorky Mr Evan Thomas, Mr T. Davies, Gelligaer Mr P. George, Aberaman &c. The proceedings were thrown open to the Press. [ THE ALBION DISASTER FUND. Protest against the Diversien. me CHAIRMAN reterrea to tne recent action in diverting the money subscribed to the Albion Colliery Disaster Fund to the Miners' Perman- ent Provident Fund, and protested against it. He declared that this action did nothing more or less than pocket £ 20,000 of the money of the widows and orphans in order to enable the employers to contract themselves out of the Employers' Liability Act. (Applause.) The Permanent Fund already had 2140,000 in its coffers, whereas Sir Wm. Thomas Lewis had said ib only required £70,000 to meet its demands. Mr W. BRAOE submitted the following propo- sition :— Resolved, that this committee, representing South Wales and Monmouthshire miners,enters the strongest possible protest against the appropriation of public subscriptions by the Permanent Fund Society, seeing hat the widows and orphans will get no benefit at all from the many thousands of pounds subscribed. At the outset, ha said their thanks were due to a he Press-he referred especially to the South Wales Daily News-for their action in so vigor- ously opposing the policy of those who wished to take money which did not belong to them. He condemned the manner in which the officials of the Permanent Fund constantly exploited these specially raised funds. It was an injustice to the widows and orphans, and a deception upon the generous public. Mr P. D. REEs seconded. Mr ISAAC EVANS wished to submit a resolution which should be stronger than that before them, and he proposed That this meeting, having learnt with regret that a scheme is on foot to try and get the whole of the moneys subscribed towards the relief of the sufferers by the late disaster to be transferred to tha Permanent Relief Fund, declares its strongest protest against any such action, as we believe that by so doing the widows and orphans will robbed of their right3, and also tho generous public who contribute so liborally on the occasion of disasters of this kind will be deceived." Mr BRACH: qordially accepted this proposition. Mr RICHARDS declared, most emphatically, that nearly the mnjority of the men in his district who were members of the Permanent Fund wore compelled to join it. He said it was an everlasting disgrace to the respon- sible agents and representatives of the men that although 60,000 miners were members of the fund, its management was not in their hands. (Hear, hear.) There was supposed to be a kind of representation on the lund according to numbers, but all honorary members who subscribed a guinea each had equal voting power with he man who represented hundreds of miners. ("Shame.") Mr B. DAVIES said there were hundreds of men whose names were on the books of the Permanent Fund who had never paid a penny to it. The fund was only a oloak to cover the liability of the employers. Mr BHYNOX mentioned the oasa of 1J overwinding accident at Maesteg, by which eleven men were injured. None of them were members of the fund, yet within three days of the accident they each received a membership card, and they received benefit from the fund while they were disabled, and there were some of them still getting money out of the fund in respect of that accident (Laughner.) In the ensuing discussion the recent action of the officials of the Permanent Fund towards the fund of the Park Slip disaster was condemned in strong terms and the motion submitted by Mr Evans, and accepted by Mr Brace, was unanimously adopted. Vote of Thanks to tne South Wales Daily News." On the proposition of Mr Alfred Onions, seconded by Mr Thomas (Pontlottyn), a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the Souik Wales Daily News for the vigorous manner in which it, had protested gainst the Permanent Relief Fund grabbing the funds subscribed by the public for the widows and orphans of the Albion Colliery disaster. He urged that an organised movement be entered upon for the reconstruction of the Permanent Fund. Their idea. was not to do away with the softly, but to alter its constitution,and this could be accomplished if the miners and their leaders made a vigorous stand. If this were not done, they might expect the grabbing process to be repeated from time to time. Ib was not by passing abstract resolutions that they could change the existing condition of things, but by prompt, decisive, and unanimous action. (Hear, hear.)—Mr Thomas (Pontlottyn) seconded the vote. He had read the article on the subject in the South Wales Daily Neus of that morning with deep and un- feigned pleasure. (The article referred to appears in the fourth page of this journal.)-Tho resolu- tion of thanks wr.3 unanimously passed. A 6iiiiilar resolution was also adopted with reference to the attempted appropriation of 23,000 of the Park Slip Fund, on the motion of Mr Brace. The conference thon proceeded to deal with the question of re-organisation, and continued its sitting in camera.

Prisoner is alleged to have stolen a silver Geneva watch and metal chain, valued about 25s, from a box in a bedroom at the Great Western Hotel, Cardiff. Sidney Jones, a porter at the hotel, on finding that his watch was missing, gave information to the police, and prisoner was arrested through his selling the watch in a pn'ohc-housc. Prisoner was committed to take his trial at the asaize. LISVANE.

tARTIST'S ROMANTIC CAREER,…
t ARTIST'S ROMANTIC CAREER, M. Michael Munkacsy is a notable instance o: genius triumphing over environment. Born ir. 1846, within gunshot of the old fortress of Mun- kacs, he, at the age of four, lost his father, whc. died in prison, having been one of the follower; of Kossuth. Presently he was takenchargeol by an uncle, who was too poor to give him even the rudiments of an education, and had to apprentice him to a village carpenter. His life was a hard one, bub not hard enough to crush out his irrepressible impulse to handle the pencil. After his appentice- ship, the youth worked as a journeyman for a pittance of 5s a week, but was able to teach himself writing and reading. Then the thirst for knowledge grew insatiable, the midnight oil was burnt, and before long violent fever compelled him for a time to suspend his studies. When health returned he acquired some local fame as a self-taugnt artist, and was able to leave tha carpenter's bench and set up his easel at Pesth. Thence he removed to Vienna, and next in rapid succession to Munich and Diisseldorf, ultimately finding an abiding-place in Paris. His first great success was achieved at Diisseldorf. A wealthy connoisseur commissioned the now familiar Last Day of a Condemned Prisoner.' and no sooner did it appear on the walls of the Paris Salon in 1870 than Goupil, the picture, dealer, sought him out at Dlissaldorf, a.nd" .Vf him a handsome commission.
Irwo MEN ENTOMBED.
rwo MEN ENTOMBED. Great excitement prevailed at Redruth ye.,ter, day when it became known that two men had been imprisoned by a fall of stuff in the Pern struthal adit, about a mile and a half from the town, which is being cleared as a preliminary step for carrying out a proposed new water scheme for the town and districb of Redruth. The men had cleared the adit beyond a shaft whieh went down on ib, and which was intended to be newly timbered and secured, but before this could be done a whole mass of ground descended, completely shutting the men off from all means of exit and confining them to the inner part of the adit. A largo party of men at once started to work to clear away the stuff, and were greatly stimulated in their work by the know. ledge that the imprisoned men were alive and apparently uninjured, as they were able to con- verse with them while the work of reeoue was proceeding. To get out the mass of stuff was a work of great difficulty, but it was eventually accomplished, and just before four o'clock in the afternoon the two men, whose names are Trevena and Penpraze, were released. They had been standing to their waists in water nearly the whole of the time they were imprisoned, and when taken out were suffering much from cold. Brandy and other restoratives were at hand, and the men having been got to the surface soon recovered.
CHURCH FOOTBALL CLUBS.
CHURCH FOOTBALL CLUBS. At the Chester Diocesan Conference yesterday the Rev. Samuel Fenton, Birkenhead, raised n. storm o f indignation in a discussion on Church lads' brigades by stating that many parents feared boys drifting from the brigade to tha volunteers or the regulars. That would, he considered, be the greatest possible misfortune. Several volunteer chaplains and the bishop warmly resented this statement as a slander on volunteers. The Rev. J. F. Howson, in moving a resolution on the social work of the Church, approved of Church gymnasiums but not Church football clubs, on account of professionalism and gambling. The Church, he said, should encourage the young of both sexes in wholesome recreation, and courtships and betrothals should take place under the shadow of the Church. (Laughter.) He also condemned dancing and elaborate theatricals. The Rev. P. H. Moore, Stockport, advocated dancing as harmless and the Rev. J. G. Elslob claimed football as a most manly national sport. The Bishop said he did nob like the devil to have such a good game as football to himself, and Church football clubs could surely, avoid-profes- sionalism.

The charge was that James Mason, of 21, James-streeb, boarding-house master, had unlawfully in his possession £ 316s belongings to a seafaring man named James Brown. The-, case briefly was, that Brown came to IlAwn, house to stay, at the same time depositing JB4 He only stayed one night, and deducting 3s 6(1 for that time, a balance of L3 16s 6d was left. the restitution of which he now sought, Mr J. H. Jones prosecuted, and Mr G. David defended. In delivering judgment the Stipendiary said if was a gross case of imposition, and fined Mason 910 and costs, including advocates' fees, and ordered the repayment of JBS, with the alternw tivo of two months' imprisonment. Applicatior was made for Brown's costs whilst on shore; bu: the Stipendiary had no power to grant this application. He, however, granted the man lOf from the poor-box.

The deceased was subjected to a good deal 0 public criticism, and was the recipient of several abusive letters shortly after news of the sale of the church doors for firewood became known. Being a sensitive man he took the matter very much to heart, and a change in his appearand was at once apparent. In indifferent health the timo, he brooded over what was said him, and complained particularly of all artich that appeared in one of the London newspaper in which he was subjected to much ridicule.
