Mrs Chant and the | Empire Theatre. AN "IMPUDENT FORGERY." I The Press Association is requested by Mrs draiiston Chant to state that the letter wlllch ippears in a London morning paper to-day, purporting to be signed by her, and stating among Other things that she will be happy to receive subscriptions on behalf of the Empire Theatre jmployees to recoup them for their temporary enforced idleness, is an impudent forgery.

I AN APPEAL FIWM MRS CHANT. SIR,—In fighting the case of the Empire promenade so its bitter end, I have never been blind to the fact that one result of my successful efforts might be the I enforced idleness for a time of some 600 hardworking people, and the consequent loss of their salaries. The Empire, it seems, has been reopened, but I learn that Ike closing of its doors for a whole week has been j Attended with considerable hardship and inconvenience to many members of its staff. Rejoicing as I do at the happy issue, so far, of my campaign in the cause of purity, my heart is full of Sympathy for those who have suffered pecuniarily from my course of action, and I shall be most willing aDd happy to receive subscriptions from the charitably Inclined on their behalf. To this fund, which I trust will be a substantial one, I shall be pleased to contri- bute £ fi. The kind insertion of this appeal in your Valuable columns will oblige.—Yours faithfully.

NEWPORT CABMEN'S DINNER. The fourteenth annual dinner in connection with the Newport Cabmen's Benevolent Society wea held at the New Bridge Hotel, Newport, on Monday evening. The Mayor of Newport pre- tided, and was supported by Lord Tredegar, Col. Wallis, Col. Mansell, Councillors Liscombe, T. H. Howell, G. Greenland, J. Parfitt, T. Parry, C. Phillips, F. Phillips, and C. D. Phillips, Mr T. J. Beynon, &c. Lord Tredegar proposed the toast Df Success to the Newport Cabmen's Benevo- lent Society," and said that with his friend, the late Sir John Astley, he had assisted in the formation of a similar society to that at Newport xmongst the cabmen of London. In the book "Forty Years of His Life," which the late Sir John had written, he said he always had a regard for cabbies, that is, when they drive a good horse and cab. Lord Tredegar said that it was in consequence of Sir John's fondness for cabmen that he first began to take an interest in them. He was glad to say that the cabmen of Newport -who numbered 90 strong—had shown a greater desire to provide for themselves and their families by becoming identified with that society Than the London cabmen had, and remarked apon the handsome little credit balance of £ 58 which the society h ad in hand at the beginning Of the present year. It was necessary for the Well-being of the society that there should ba substantial reserve in hand to meet likely con- tingencies, and it was for this reason that he appealed to the public to support the society.— Mr T. J. Beynon proposed The Forces Spiritaul and Temporal," and this was responded to by the Rev. J. Swinnerton, Col. Mansell, and Col. Wallis. Col. Mansell remarked upon the faot that that day was the anniversary of the Battle of Inkerman, in which Colonel Morgan, M.P., bad taken a gallant part. The Vicar of .St John's also happily responded, and likened cabmen to buttresses of the Church. They usually drove up to St. John's in full rig—white rosettes, whips dressed off with Itibbon, and the horses' ears in white coverings. They usually letired with their precious "fare fcmidst showers of blessing, old slippers, and rice; and afterwards, when the sidewalk bad resumed its wonted quiet, the sparrows descended and for boors kept np a merry chirping in thankfulness for a feast of grain.—Other toasts followed. The proceedings throughout were most successful, and the company (160) one of the largest.

A service in memory of the late OZ'lr was held at noon to-day in the Russian Chapel, Welbeck- street, London. The service was arranged specially for the Diplomatic Corps, and was attended by M. de Staal, Madameand Mademoi- selle de Staal, the entire staff of the Russian Embassy, and representatives of the various Foreign Embassies in London, all being in full uniform. For an hour before the commence- ment of the service a considerable crowd waited about the entrance to the small chapel, but the space at disposal within was so limited that none except diplomatic represen- tatives and a few holding special permits could be admitted. At the entrance to the chapel there was an awning of black cloth, with a black carpet which stretched from the outer edge of the pavement right through the hall and vestibule of the chapel. The chapel itself was draped with crape hangings, and a number of wax candles, each with a crape rosette at ts base, shed a dim light through the building. No seats were provided. The officiating priest waa the Vei-y Rev. Eugene Smirnoff, chaplain to the Russian Embassy. M. de Staal arrived about half-past 11, and was shortly followed by the Chinese, Japanese, and Turkish Ministers. The Earl of Cork arrived soon after, and was :allowed by Rustein Pacha, tho Turkish Ambassador. Then came Lord Tweedmouth and the Duke and Duchess of Teck, the former being in uniform and the latter in deep black. There were also present Prince Christian, the Duke of Connaught (representing the Queen), Lord Kimberley, the Duke of Fife, and the Duke of Cambridge. The Duke of York, attended by the Hon. Derek Keppel, reached the chapel about noon, and among others in attendance were Lord Rosebery, the Marquis of Ripon, the Lord Mayor, and Lord Mayor elect 111 their robes and chains, and Earl Spencer, A large crowd witnessed the exit of the Royal and other personages at the close of the service, which lasted 40 minutes. The Duke of York was respectfully saluted "n all hands, and Lord Roseberrv, who stood some ime in conversation with the Russian Ambassador, was also recognised.. The ser- vice, which was of an impressive character, consisted of the requiem mass for the repose of the late Emperor's soul, and was in Slavonic. Only vocal music was employed, Incense and tapers were burned. Sympathy Acknowledged. I ST. PETERSBURG, Tuesday.—Commenting on ) the unanimous and striking tokens of sympathy on the death of the Czar exhibited by the Sovereigns and chiefs of State of foreign nations, the Journal de St. Petersburg says Russia accepts these tokens of sympathy with sincere and heartfelt gratitude. It is with feelings of legiti- mate pride that she observes everywhere the sorrow at the terrible blow which has shaken the souls of our people. Russia is not less touched by and is grateful for the wishes ex- pressed everywhere for the prosperity of the new reign and for the happiness of our young Emperor, whose first utterance to tha people has been a message of peace, and whom Russia surrounds with her entire love, and on whom all her hope is founded."

I "Guy Fawkes Day." I The Fifth of November was yesterday observed in the usual manner in London. There wasa marked diminution in the number of gu s which included effigies of Jabex Baliour and somS female figures bearing inscriptions referring to the action of the London County Council Licensing Committee with regard to the Empire Theatre. As far as the city and the suburbs were ooncernad the observance of the day was little other than an excuse for a little humorous blackmailing. At the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, the usual service, which has been held for more than two centuries to commemorate the happy deliver- il ance from gunpowder treason, was performed. The sermon, preached by the Rev. W. G. Watkins from Psalm xcii, 1, It is good to give thanks unto the Lord," was a justification for the con inuance of the observance of the day.

'1 Ignorance. Th« Willesden people improved the occasion by introducing effigies of Dr. Case and Mrs Harold, who recently caused a sensation by their romantic elopement. In the evening the effigies were publicly burned. It may be interesting to state that a press representative was informed by a gentleman yesterday that from curiosity bo had taken the trouble to ask nearly 200 children whom he had met during the day parading guys who Guy Fawkes was and what be did. Out of the whole he only found seven who could tell him. A Carnival. I The Hampstead carnival took place last night, I and attracted a very large number of persons to the district. The procession, which started from the Hare and Hounds, North-end, headed by the members and banners of the Hampstead Bonfire Club, was followed by a. car representing England's heroes, the Hampstead Naval Brigade, a North American Indian car surrounded by I mounted chiefs and scouts, the Heudon Volunteer Fire Brigade and engine, a detachment of the Loyl United Friends' Firemen, a car represent- ing Kinp Neptune, cars with representations of I' English sports, Father Time, a bountiful harvest, and British labour." A tableau which at- tracted considerable attention was that repre- senting three members of the Purity party.' AI Jack Straw's Castle the procession broke up I A gigantic bonfire was then built and lighted at the Battery. Another. I The Guy Fawkes carnival in Bridgwater, for which the town ha3 long been famous, was this year celebrated with even more than usual splen- dour, and the torchlight procession of masque- raders was witnessed by many thousands of spectators, including a large number of excur- sionists from B '.stol and other placas. sionists from B stot and other placas. And Another. I At Lawes the bonfire carnival was carried out on the usual extensive scale last night. The weather was unfavourable, but the ardour of tho bonfire boys" was not damped, and a large crowd assembled, including many from Brighton. There were some new features, ono imposing tableau representing the destruction of a Chinese temple, and another the execution of Guy Fawkes. Accident in the Rhondda, About 10 o'clock yesterday evening a little boy, named William Davies, son of Thomas Davies, residing at Ystrad, Rhondda, received serious injuries whilst playing in the street where some fireworks were being let off. He had three bales of compressed powder in his pocket, and a spark falling upon the explosives caused an explosion. He was badly bruised about the body, and now lies in a critical condition.

No arrest has yet been made in connection with the outrage, and the police naturally decline to say whether they have any due which may lead to a capture. Special service men are still busily engaged in making inquiries.

ALLEGED ILLEGAL CLUB. I Charges ef Aiding and Abetting. I This afternoon, at the Cardiff Police-court, there was heard a rather unusual summons in connection with the illegal sale of beer. The defendants were Tom Tarr and Hugh Hughes, summoned for selling beer at 43, Cornwall-street, on October 27th, and A. H. Jarman, summoned for aiding and abetting. There were two sum- monses against Jarman. The prosecution was donducted by the deputy town clerk (Mr F. C. Lloyd), whilst Mr George David (David and Evans) defended. Mr F. C. Lloyd in opening the case said the case arose out of some proceedings which had taken place at 43, Corn wall-streeb-tbe Saltmead Workingmen's Club and Institute. The place was registered as a Friendly Society under the Act of 1875: Tarr, who represented him- self as the manager, was charged with selling beer, and the treaeurer was charged with aiding and abetting. There was a second summons against the treasurer, Jarman, for aiding and abetting Hughes, a former manager, who was also charged with selling beer. Tho reason Hughes was charged was because the club was in the habit of changing its officials. P.C. Beadle was called, and proceeded to give evidence of the raid when The Stipendiary said what the prosecu- tion had to do was to prove that liquor and money passed, and thereby throw she burden of proof on the defendants. There was so far no question as to whether the place was a club or not. That would be the de- fence. Mr David My friend may take it from me that there has hen a sale. The Stipendiary Then I may take it that liquor was sold on October 27th. That will put you on your defence, Mr David. Mr David Yes, sir.

LOCAL MATRIMONIAL SUIT. The cases set down for hearing in the High Court during the ensuing Michaelmas sessions include the suit of Cory v.

I Fortune Telling. j 0- j REMARKABLE CREDULITY, 1 :l I Raphael's Almanack. r Yesterday at Burnley a charge of fortune- j telling against Annie Smith, who belongs to a band of gipsies living in Cheshire, was heard. Mary Jane Walmsley, a young married woman, of Gordon-street, said that the prisoner came to house by appointment on the 26th of Gctober, and was toM tell her the ruling of the planets. To begin with, witness crossed the gipsy's palm with half-a-crown. I Prisoner asked for two gold rings, which were given to her, and she told witness to wish for three things while she tied a silk handkerchief with the rings upon it into three knots. The hankerchief was not forthcoming, and the prisoner then said that the charm "Would not act unless it was used in the ilooua where she slept. Witness accord- ingly took the gipsy upstairs, her mother Mid a neighbour remaining below. Here the Ifipsy noticed a watch and chain on the dressing- table, and Smith said she must have these. Smith afterwards said she must have something [valuable to wrap them in, and witness let her have the bed-hangings and some other articles. | f hen they went downstairs, and the gipsy sent t the neighbour away so that she could apeak to witness privately. Smith then broke an egg into a tumbler, while witness at her request j I Wished Three Wishes." The gipsy told herthat she was born under the planet Jupiter, and said she would" rule the planets" for her, and bring them on the Monday following.—Mr Nowell (clerk): Was she going to bring the planets with her ? (Laughter,)— Witness: She was going to work them out and bring them to me.—What did you under- stand by that ? That she was going to tell me my future.—Did she bring the planet ? No. She has not been near sinoe.-And she got the half-crown, the gold rings, the watch and chain, and the bed hangings ? Yes. She promised to bring them back, but she hasn't done. One of the rings has since been recovered.—In answer to Mr Brown (Stcclcport), who appeared for tho prisoner, witness said that if the woman had brought" the planet" and the goods back 011 the Monday following it. would have been all right. She let the goods go because the woman promised faithfully to bring them back. She said she would have to bury the articles in order to work on the sphere which she had at home. She understood that Jupiter was a very high planet, and that prisoner was going to work out her destiny for her on the planet. Witness and her mother trusted to the woman's honesty in bringing the goods back, and also in telling her something :*boufc Jupiter. Witness had taken Raphael's almanack for six or seven years, and she believed m its pre- dictions. She knew from Raphael's almanack that Jupiter was a High Pianet. She might not have believed what the gipsy told her when she got the "planet." That would depend on what she put in it. (Laughter.) She believed that Raphael's almanack could tell certain things that were going to happen, The neighbour who was m the house when the gipsy called also believed in the planets and that they would foretel the future of those consulting them. For the defence Mr Brown argued that this was not a case of deception as was necassitated by the Act under which the proceedings bad been taken. Here wa.. a woinaii who honestly believed that the gipsy sou id foretell her future by consulting the planets. She was not deceived at all, and more- over it was nob like a gipsy going to some silly servant girl or some weak, ignorant person. Mrs Walmsley was a fairly educated woman, apparently very intelligent, and there had been no imposition on a weak and ignorant creature. The magistrates fined the prisoner £ 5 and costs, with the alternative of- a mouth's imprisonment. The fine was paid.

A-REMINISENCE OF THE GREAT COAL STRIKE. I The Cost of the Police. I In tho Queen's Bench Division yesterday- before Justices Mathew and Charles—Mr Mrcmoran moved ex parte on behalf of the Mayor and Corporation of the borough of Rother- ham for a rule calling upon the West Riding County Council to show cause why they should not pay 2319 73 2d, being half the amouufc ex- pended by the borough upon extra police during 1893. The learned counsel said during 1893 there were labour disturbances in Rotherham, and it became necessary to call in the assistance of the police. Under section 24 of the Local Govern- menb Act, 1888, the County Council had to bear half the cost of the pay and clothing of the police of the borough, and section 25 of the Police Act, 1890, enacted that if the police authority in case of emergency called in additional constables thr-y should be deemed to be for all purposes constables of aided force. The court granted a rule nisi.

INTERESTING TO WESLEYANS. I am informed (says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian) that at the Wesleyad Conference Office yesterday morning the Rev. C. H. Kelly offered to the Connexion (through Dr. Rigg) a collection ot the highest intertest, containing specimens of almost all society tickets from the days of John Wesley, together with elaborate ecclesiastical and geographical notes by the Rev. James Everet, who was expelled at the time of the reform movement, and who sub. sequently became the principal founder of the United Methodist Free Churches. There are also many autographs of leading and venerated ministers who took part in early Methodist history. This unique collection, of priceless worth to Methodism, has come as a gift from Mr Luke J. Tyerman, of Sydney, Australia, son of the historian of Methodism.

ALLEGV-D iliGAFVIY AT CARDIFF i ALLEGEryCTOAROIFF.1 At the Cardiff Police-court on Monday— bofore the Stipendiary (Mr T. W. Lewis)-hry Ann Davies (26) was charged with feloniously intertnari'yinst with one Wiliiam Jenkins, at Cardift, on the 12th October, 1894, her 6rst husband, Daniel Thomas.Davies, being then and now alive. Mr Arthur Recs prosecuted, and Mr George David (David anS Evans) appeared for the defendant, a number of whose friends were in the court. Mr Arthur Rees briely opened the case by say- ing that on Novf-mber 17th, 1892, the defendaut- a well-dressed :md respectable-looking woman— was married to an engineer. The husband tlieii went to sea, and on coming back found his wife living with another man, she having gone through the formal ceremony of marriage with William Jenkins on the 12th ultima Mr David Evans, assistant registrar, proved that both cere- monies had taken place before him. William Jenkins said when he met the defendant she told him she had been living with another man, but they were not married. One day Daniel Thomas Davies--the husband of the defendant—came to the shop and asked his wife in a. whisper what nnme that was over the door. When he knew tho defendant first: she carried 0U a small business of tobacconist in Queen-street, as she had nothing to keep her. When Davies returned he forced her to givo up the keys of this business-pi"ce. The defendant was committed to take her trial at the ensuing assize, the Stipen- diary allowing bail, defendant in her own recog- nizance in £ 10 and one surety in £ 10.

On Monday morning several men observed the body of a man floating down the Taff from Merthyr, and they iolknved it as far as Aber- cauaid, where a signalman brought it to bank.

jThe Battle of Inkerman.; -8f. ^•ANNIVERSARY OF A GLORIOUS DAY. Hew the 41st Welsh Fought. On the morning of the 5th of November, 1854, the Russians in great numbers (45.000) attacked the British Arn.y on Inkerman Heights, when the pickets of the Greuadier Company and the L.ght Company were under the command of Captain Rowlands, who held his ground step by step, rund when Colonel Heniy, who was in full command of the pickets, was taken prisoner. Captain Rowlands charged with the Grenadier Company, and rescued him from the Russians. Sergeant-Major Andrews Madden, with two Grenadiers, also cut off and ciptured 13 Russians and one officer, making three pt-isoners to his own share. He must have done this after the fashion of the Connaught man. Then came up the main body of the 41st Regiment, under the command of Col. Cart writer. The sketch we give was taken upon the spot by an artillery officer, and represents the lastresting- place of the gallant Coi. George Carpenter, of the 41st Regiment, who led one of the outlying pickets of the 2nd Brigade 2nd Divi- sion on the memorable 5th of November, 1854. After his wound Colonel Carpenter refused to retire to the rear shortly afterwards a second ball laid him low. Idolised as he had been by his men, four of them endeavoured to bear him from tha field. At this juncture, however, the Russians made a desperate onslaught on their thinned ranks. L(,tve, me, my men," be cried, and save yourselves." The slender remnant of that gallant band were now surrounded by the enemy, and in the melee that ensued their brave leader, whose life was fast ebbing away, was left on the ground. In this helpless scate a Russian soldier, clubbing his musket, struck him on the head and began rifling his pockets. Ere he could bo rescuoo the colonel had sustained such injuries that he only survived them for a few hours. Adjoining his humble grave upon the heights of Inkerman, and overlooking the Tchernaya, the remains of four of his brother officers lay buried not far from where they fell. COL. CAilPKNTEJl'S GRA Vlt AT INKRUMAN, And four other officers of the regiment—4lst Welsh.! Interesting Letter from a Veteran of the Welsh Regiment. Writing from Cork to an old comrade in the Welsh Regiment, Sergeant Thomas Foster, Mr James Morrison, who served with the regiment throtiglioul, the Crimea, says:—" I have setii by papers lately that the old colours of the 41st Foot were granted hy the Secretary of War to be rp- moved from Wrexham to Llandnff C ithedral, and that a military parada would take place, and that a few others would be allowed the lion(-uc of attending. I would mention with veference to those two colours that I had the duty (or job, as we would say now) of washing the colour belt the dayafter.Inkerman, as they were covered with the blood of the two officers that carried them on the 5th of November, 1854, at Inkerman. The officers were both shot dead, and you can guess in what state they were when I say that they were shot in the head and neck. Their names were Serling and Lockhow, if I recollect aright, and our dear Colonel G. ClI" penter and two others, with a few officers, were wounded. I not forget our friend Sir Hugh Rowlands, V.C. I heard that he was to be promoted to general shortly, and proud I was to learn it. I inu?t also mention to you, I daresay you can recollect Tom McPherson, Light Com- pany. He was my comrade when iu No. 6 Com- pany. He came to that company from the 93rd Highlanders before the Crimea, and he got a great many wounds at Inkerman besides a. bullet in the head and sixteen prods from the Russians when on the ground."

CARDIFF COALTRIMMERS' ASSOCIATION. At an executive meeting of the Cardiff, Pen- arth, and Barry Coaltrimmers' Association, held on Saturday, it was resolved to issue a manifesto to the men, pointing out what has beem done by the executive with a view of putting a stop to the deductions hitherto made from the pay of the gangs by the coal foremen. The manifesto cal's upon the men not to allow any deduction whatever, other than the agreed farthing, to be made from their earnings tiy the foremen or any other person, on and after Saturday next the 10th instant. Should any undue advantage or pressure be brought to bear upon them on account of their demanding the tariff in full, the matter should be at once reported to the committee, who pledge themselves to secure the men's rights by legal means or otherwise. The committee have the authority of the shippers' committee for stating that each gang will be at liberty to elect a working trimmer to draw the wages, and he will be supplied in each case with an official trimming bill.

MINERS' MEETING AT EBBW VALE. The usual monthly meeting of the Ebbw Vitle and Sirhowy workmen was held at the Market- hall on Monday, under the presidency of Mr John Thomas.—A deputation, representing the men on strike at Nantyg]o, attended, and asked for the practical sympathy of the Ebbw Vale miners.—After a brief discussion a sum of P,5 was voted.-It was decided to make a levy of 6j per man and 3d per boy towards the relief of the Scotch miners.— The question of the erection of an intermediate school at Ebbw Vale was brought under con- sideration.—Mr W. Cottle proposed that a levy of Id per week per man and boy for 12 weeks should be made, and stopped ab the office, for the purpose of assisting in raising the necessary £ 500 towards the building fund.—Mr Brace seconded, and it was carried by a very large majority.

HIGH GROUND RENTS AT NEWPORT, The lease of a well-known hostelry at Newport is about to expire, and the terms of the renewal of the lease are said to be a greatly increased ground rent, amounting to £ 1,050, and the con- dition tha.t the premises shall be rebuilt at a probable outlay of £ 30.000. The small corner block at the bottom of Stow-hd! has been secured by a banking company at £ 300 a year ground rent, in addition to which a suia of £2,000 has been agreed to be paid for the determining of the claims of those in possession. Newport people imagined that £ 300 a year for the corner indicated high-water mark, but the £ 1,050 for the hotel looks like the flood which ia to sweep everything into the ground landlord's pocket, and leave mine host poor indeed.

British Steamers on Fire.. ALLEGED INGENDIARiSM. Lloyd's agent at Savannah cables as follows: —" British "team", Stag, Petunia, Dalegarth, Caatlegarth, xnd Skid by are on fire.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Tuesday.—Fire brolce out almost simultaneously last night on board the steamers Skidby, Baltimore City, Castlrgarth, Stag, Delgartb, Petunia, and Armenia in tho harbopv here. All the vessels are British cottou carriers. Altogether about 4,000 balsa are believed o have been dama,ged efore the flames were extinguished. The dawage done to steamers is not known. The fire on the.Armenia is still burning. No doubt is entertained that the fires were the work of incendiaries, a.nd are connected with the recent labour troubles among the steve- dores. A quantity of phosphorus has been found in the hold of the Stag.-Reuter. It may be added that all the steamers traded iu., Cardiff, and were well known at this port.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Royal (Cardiff). I The popularity of that most successful musical comedy, "A Gaiety Girl," wrù strikingly ex- emplified on Monday evening, when the piece was produced again at the Theatre Royal, before a large and very demonstrative audience, by Mr George Edwardes's Company. Since the last occasion upon which the company visited Cardiff the principal songs and lyrics have caught the popular ear, and are now, there- fore, immediately recognised and followed with the warmest appreciation. For it is an I undoubted fact that to the extent that they are familiar with it is music esteemed by the general public, and they prefer that which they already know to that which is quite new to them. Proof I of this was afforded by the hearty approval bestowed upon Mr Albert Christian's rendering of "Tommy Atkins," which, of course, was encored, and of the charming song "Sun- rendering of Tommy Atkins," which, of course, was encored, and of the charming song "Sun- shine," at the close or the second act. Intense interest was also aroused bv the several choruses, which are among the most fre- quently heard selections of the day. The p-rfor-tiai,ec-- generally was a complete success, the principal characters being most faithfully impersonated. Mr George Mudie as Sir Lewis I Grey unci Mr Charles Wirrow as Dr. Bnerley were genuinely amusing and kept the audience in constant laughter by the unmistakable natural- ness of their acting. Miss Marie Studholme as Alma Somerset sustained the part m a refined :>nd dignified stylo, and Miss Ethel Sydney as iiose Brierley was most vivacious and brilliant. Miss Acla^ Jenoure as Lady Virginia was at all times bright, entertaining,andclever;and as Nina, Miss Andree Corday made a most joyous and lively little French attendant. The incidental music was well rendered, while the pas seul in the iirst act and the carnival dance by Miss Maud Wilmot and Miss Madge Rossell were at once graceful aud artistic,, while free from all sem- blance of fatiguing effort. The staging was particularly good, aud the costumes were bright, fresh, aud picturesque. fresh, aud picturesque. Grand Thpati,e (Carilff-). I I Ape does hot wither the popularity of Tom Tay- ¡ lor's great'drama, The Ticket-ol-Leave Man," which in the present day receives universally as I hearty a. welcome as it did from audiences in the days when it was young and on Monday night I it WAS accorded a most enthusiastic welcome aO J the Cardiff Grand Theatre, where Mr Stafford I Grafton and his London company gave a splendid representation. It was well staged, and the members of the com par: y gave a rendering which, on the whole, was as complete as it was powerful. Mrs Grafton, as May Edwards, played with much delicacy and ability, and won entirely the sym- pathies of the house. Miss Lilian Babington also gave an able representation of the character of Emily St. Evremond. The chief interest centred, however, in the career of I the brave and manly Lancashire lad, Bob Brierley, whose character was wel) portrayed by Mr Grahame Dav. and the marvellous doings of Hawkshaw. the detective, were rendered with marked power by Mr Stafford Grafton. The humorous and lignter elements of the drama were splendidly brought out by Miss Helen Dudley as Stun Wilioughby, the I rollicking wayward boy, and Mra Audrey Canning, as Mrs Wilioughby. Indeed the whole representation was most successful, and merited the hearty applause bestowed by the audience. The Empire (Cardiff). The management at this place of entertainment never fails to bit the popu!ar taste and this is the secret of its unqualified success the year through. Variety is the very spice of life, and no one more fully recognises this than Mr Oswald Stoll. And it is because he does so that the three "Empires" of South Wales have come to be the prosperous and well-established institutions in the social life of the people that they are. Whatever the character of the weather, whatever the condi- tion of trade, these halls arA crowded nightly at each of the two performances to enjoy the invari- able excellence of the programme. This week, at Cardiff, the bill of fare is quite on a par with most of its many eminently successful predecessors. It is true there is no very bright parjicular star to outshine all lesser luminaries in the local music- hall horizon, but no possible fault can be found with the avorage lustre of the constellation. Here is Miss Katie Lawrence, always charming and popular aud here are the two McNaughtons in their side-splitting eccentricities. Herr Wingard is a remarkably clever sleight-of-hand performer with diverting patter. The comic melodramatic sketch of the Lydia Crofton Company is one of the best things of the kind we have seen. It is bran new from the land of the Star and Stripes, and must prove a great draw wherver It is played. Genial Bob Voltes so well-known to C;irdifflaiiq, is once more to the fore, "gomg strong:" the Sisters Desmohd are as lively as crickets and Florrie Penley sings with much acceptance. Other turns constitute a very attractive pro- gramme. In maintaining the orchestra in its full strength, Mr Stell pursues, as he always does, a wise policy. Under the skilful conductor- ship of Mr W. Burgess, the Empire band holds its own with any music-hall orchestra in the country; and that it cau acquit Jifcself well in classical music, is seen this week in the fine way in which it plays Auber's overture from netta." The Empire (Newport). A comedian who earns £ 120 per week the whole year round, is a decidedly lucky individual, but in these commercial days it may be safely I assumed that he is worth his money. No one who has seen the brilliant clever Dan Leno will doubt that he is worth his money, extraordinarily hig though his price be. Newport habitiUs of the Empire are favoured this week in a marked degree in being able to enjoy the quaint humour and all-round originality and cleverness of the Drury Lane "star." The remamder of the programme at the Newport Empire is full of go from start to finish. The Empire (Swansea). It is by no means a bit o audacious advertising to declare, as does tho manigerrezit of this house, that the charming mite of humanity, known to fstme as Princess Paulina, is the one absolute wonder of the human race." For many weeks she drew crowded audiences to the Cardiff panopticon, and the wonder of the people inten- sified with time. Perfectly formed, this extra- ordinary dot is 19 years old, and yet measures but 18 inches lIig-h and weighs only 8Y2 lbs. We are much mistaken if the Swansea- itf-s are not simply astonished when they see Princess Paulina this week. The programme at the Empire also includes the clever Karno Troupe of Pantomiirists the Sisters Tilley and Harry Champion, an admirable vocalist. The Panopticon (Cardiff). The programme which has this week been prepared by Mr Stoll affords an entertainment very varied and attractive. The artistes are all particularly bright, and the "turns which they contributed pleaded everybody immensely. One of the mostlaughitbiotutd thoroughly up-to-date performances is given by Idilo Williams "Il d Bertha Carnihan, and is very funny Then there is Happy Ashbey with bis smart and clever joggling, and this is followed by the Sisters Laliah, expert wire walkers. The pro- programme is concluded by Miss Laura Le^vitt, the rival lady whistler to Mrs Shaw. I Dare's Waxwerks (Cardiff). Satannlfa, the clever lady palmist, still con- tinues her engagement at Mr,dame D'Arc's Waxworks Exhibition at Cardiff, and makes many friends with her clever and delightful delineations. The v.axwork exhibits are very numerous and pretty. Madame D'Arc hi° in the course of making a model of the late Czar of Russia aud a bust of Mr W. Abraham, M.P. (Mabon.)

UNLAWFUL WOUNDING AT BARRY DOCK, I About 4.30 on Monday afternoon Police-Sergeant He rbert Evans, of tbe Barry Dock police force, arrested a woman named Mary Ann Carrol!, a resident of Merthyr-street, on a charge of unlaw- I fully and maliciously wounding :t neighbour named Mary Cull inane. Both tho women had a high-spirited quarrel, in the course of which prisoner took up a p!ate and threw it at her, inflicting a severe cut on the lobe of the ear, nearly separating it. Dr. Livingstone attended the woman's wound. Prisoner will probably be brought up a. an occasional court to be held at Barry Dock to.day, and a formal remand until Thursday will be applied for. The prisoner was brought before Mr London tins afternoon and formally remanded until Thursday.

FOOTBALL. Rowdyism by Midland Football Players.! The pleasure of the fixture between Western Counties and Midland Count>es at Exeter last week was marred (says the Athletic News) by the presence of that tvIl which has been often de- nounced in these cohunns- v;z., the idea pcs- sessed by some footballers that they have special licence to disturb the peace of distant towns which they happen to visit. Why they cannor, behave themselves as 0rdinary tourists is an msolvable problem. The Mid landers arrived at Exeter on Tuesday last about 10.30, and put up at one of the best hotels in the city. About mid- night uine or ten of tbe players left the hotel and got into the Arcade through a small postern gate left unlocked for the exclusive use of the residents. Here they commenced singing and yelling, mak- ing such a pandemonium that most of the resi- dents, who were in bed, rose and came to the windows and doors in terror, thinking a fire had broken out. When spoken to the men simply jeered and laughed, and one of them danced heavily on the grating in front of the Üop of the tradesman who had asked them to stop their noise and go away quietly. After making some nsulting remarks and more row, they left and t went further down the street. t » More Alleged Msbbing. f A Keighley correspondent telegraphs :-The I match between Ripon and Keighley Shamrocks | at Ripon on Saturday broke up in great disorder I The Shamrocks say they were brutally treated by f r-the Ripon players and spectators. When they5 were leading by a try to nil Iton was tackled, andi whilst he was prostrate his left leg wa.s trampled on and injured. Flaherty, standing by, was kicked, the offender being ordered off the field. The spectators demanded the removal of Patsy O'Hara. and ultimately they broke into the field, attacking the Keighley players with sticks and missiles. The referee, a Leods man, had to run from the field, and the Shamrocks quitted as quickly as possible under fire of nmd, etc. Jam?s Iton confirms this statement, and says that he still suffers fioin bis hii-,tg, though he was vester- day afternoon able to attend the funeral of Mr Stell, landlord of the Angel Inn, and vice- president of the Sha.mrocks Club, INTERNATIONAL TRIAL MATCH. WEST v. MID DISTRICT. The initial trial match for the f<enson, under the auspices of the Welsh Football Union, took p'ace on the ground of the Neath Footbal1 Club, when teams representing the Western and Mid Districts met to try conclusions. There were several alterations at the last moment from the originally selected fifteens. The weather was fine, and the ground appeared to be in capital condition. The attendance when the teams fielded at 3 45 numbered about 2,000. The fol- lowzzjgwerf, the teams :— West District-Bad;, Joe Davies (Neath); three-quarters, E. Lloyd (Llaaelly), O. Esvdger (Llanelly), C. Steer (Neath), and C. Bovven (Llanelly); halves, Ben Davies and D. Morgan (Llanelly) forwards, W. Morris and W. J. Thomas (Llanelly), J. Reynolds and H. Jones (Neath), J.

The Mici District started, Badger returning to I the centre, where the game immediately settle down. A rush by the Mid District men was cleverly saved by Joe Davies, who picked np neatly and found touch near the centre. Badger here got oft, and after passing several opponents gave the b,.1I to Cliff Bowen, who was brought down from behind. The West District pressed and notched a minor. The drop-out saw some excellent passing on the part of tbe Western backs. Ben Davies picked up the ball on the division line and threw tt to Badger, who in turn pave up to Clift Bowen, and the latter went off at tap speed, shaking off two or three opponents who endeavoured to tackle him, and when confronted by the Mid full back re-transferred to Badger,who got across. J. Davies failed to improve upon the point. The M'd District men managed to work the ball to the Westerners' 25 on the drop-out, but the passing of the Western backs soon drove them to the centre. Here the Westerners were awarded a free. Ben Davies punted to Ev;-ry, who was slow in gathering the ball, and in consequence was upset ere he could return. A hot attack was made on the Mid Dis- trict line, but they eventually succeeded in taking the ball to the division-line. Steer now got away well, but threw a trifle forward to Evan Lloyd, a certain try thus b-jirig Jost. The Wi st still attacked and another minor was conceded. Then Evan Lloyd was conspicuous on the drop-out for some exceedingly smart phi,y, handing off several men who attempted to bring him down, and passing to one of his club mates, who was tackled. The Mid District fifteen at last raised the siege and got far inside the Western 25. Their stay was only of a momen- tary character, and they were repulsed to the centre. Steer here became the recipient of the ball and passed to Evan Lloyd, who went away at a rattling pace and seemed u probable scorer when C. Williams brought him down finely. A scrum followed, and from this Ben Davies smartly got hold and dodged in. Joe Davies was successful with the place-kick. HALF-TIME SCOBS G. T. M. WEST 1 1 2 MID 0 0 1 On resuming the backs were reversed, the Western halves aud three-quarters playing behind the Mid pack and the opposing backs going over in their places. The Mid District now acted on the aggressive, and a loose rush on the part of their forwards saw Howell Jones fall across with a try, wbtch Badger failed to convert. Not long afterwards Ben Davies, snapping up a pass which Trick had failed to take, ran in with another try for the Mid, which Badger failed to majorise. A minor followed Il1 favour of the Mid District,, the Westerners following suit by obtaining one. The Western forwards were getting the beat of the argument and repeatedly sent out, but the Mid backs could do very little with it. Both sides were in turn visited, but the tine passing of the Llanelly backs ultimately culminated in the Midlarder,,3 being able to put their opponents strictly on the defensive. Another minor was obtained by them, and on the drop out I they were again seen pressing as the outcome of some capital passing on the part of Steer and Evan Lloyd. Time was tlwn calied.

These rival teams faced each other on Monday afternoon on the Bellevue ground, Penygraig, in the presence of about 2,000 spectators. The weather was fine and the ground in excellent condition.

In mid-field one of the Llwynypia halves transferred, but Rosser Evans missed his oppor- tunity. Then Elias, for Penygraig, got hold, but he was brought down near the touch-line at half-way. Matters became very warm about the division line, and after a hard struggle Penygraig rushed up to the visitors, 25. Relief having been brought to half-way, Hadridtye, the full hack, got hold, and punted to the Penygraig 25.
