The Man About Town. 1
The Man About Town. 1 One of the pretty fictions of the day states that men don't drink tea. The whole monopoly of tea-drinking is credited to the ladies, who are supposed to spend their afternoons sipping tea and talking scandal. In Cambridge there is a prevail- ing fashion amongst the men to drink after. noon tea and talk philosophy. Spending a few days in CAmbridge recently, I sought out an old acquaintance whom I had met in a Midland town years ago. In those days he had just received his B.A., and had come down amongst the H stupid country people" to lecture on modern writers. I had—well, no matter we were kindred spirits and found much in common to interest us.

But we are kindred spirits still, though we pace different paths. I hunted him out on a fine summer's afternoon-it was in the Festivities Week when the boat races were being concluded on the river-and here was he in the sweet peacefulness of his Fellow's apartments, buried in a volume dealing with the Cromwellian period. As he read you could hear the soul-stirring music of the grand organ in King's College Chapel stealing in at his open window during afternoon service. It I seemed an ideal life compared with the rush and the racket of daily journalism and I residence in a younger Chicago | All this I should point out is by way of introduc- a I tion. Mutual surprises over, we buried our- selves in capacious easy chairs—Cambridge I is famed for easy chairs before anything else—and sipped five o'clock tea, though it was served by a bachelor in bachelor's quarters. But we talked of matters beyond the category of scandal. It proved to be a time of tea and philosophy. Cardiff, I discovered, is famed in Cambridge, not for coal, but for having at the University College for its Professor of Logic and Philosophy, Mr John S. Mackenzie, M. & a Fellow of Trinity. Cardiff and South Wales possess honours of scholarship without knowing it. It was a case of going from town to hear of local affairs. Professor Mackenzie is a man of such modest—though brilliant and scholarly— parts that he has slipped into the town almost unheard of. So little does a busy commercial community care for philosophy I confessed to knowing a few things about Cardiff life, but I had not seen neither had I heard Professor Mackenzie. I fell from grace immediately, and so did Cardiff many degrees in the estima- tion of my companion. If I didn't know the man did I know his book ? I did my reputation was saved What re- minds me of this incident is this We are on the eve of a visit from the Trade Unionists of the country who assemble in Congress in a few weeks' time. I have been asked already for some book which will make clear to a man who knows nothing of the subject the position of Trade Unionism in the country and its relation to social problems. Wisdom is not gained in a day, and Trade Unionism is a big subject, which can only be rightly understood by treating it as part of the great social upheaval which has been going on in this country for several centuries, It is not generally known in South Wales even that Mr Mackenzie, of the University College, has written one ot the most valuable books of the day in the region of Sociology, This is due to his innate modesty, a not too common characteristic in South Wales If he were not so modest and retiring his work would be better known, as it deserves to be. Dated from the University College, he has just issued a second edition of his book, An Introduction to Social Philosophy." If you are thinking of reading up the social question let me give the famous advice of Punclt- Don't," with the addition, hesitate to get Professor Mackenzie's book." You may not be able to extract from it the wealth and wisdom of a Solomon, but you will gain from its perusal priceless knowledge of many movements and agitations which have hitherto had no meaning for you, or have remained an enigma. In America at the present time there is as great a demand for books on all phases of the social question as there is here for the latest novel with a sex" problem" in it. If Mr Mackenzie's book were better known one would not be compelled so frequently to listen to brainless chatter about the effects of Trade Unionism and its objects, and the destructive character of Socialistic movements. wrong tliroligli Men constantly go wrong through regarding their little cirde as the world in which we live and forming conclu- sions on their own superficial observations of things under their noses. An Intro- duction to Social Philosophy would give them entry to the world beyond," which they would find full of revelations and knowledge. South Wales is distinctly for- tunate to have for one of its teachers a man of the stamp of Professor Mackenzie, and though it will be the good fortune of the comparatively few to fall under his direct tutorial influence, everyone who desires to understand these social problems which are moving society deeply may take advantage of his published writings. The visit of the Trades Union Congress to the town will unquestionably create a wider local interest in these questions which con- cern the fates of individuals and communi- ties, of villages and empires. Phrenology, Palmistry, and Astrology are sad sciences Yet each boasts the possession of a sixpenny monthly magazine to propagate the faith 1" They are even sadder than Spiritualism. Some misguided "modern astrologer has sent me a copy of a journal which is devoted to spreading a knowledge of this interesting science in every household." A very modest mission itself. The editor has a belief and trust in Astrology which places in the shade the faith which moves mountains." The editor only addresses himself to the intelligent portion of humanity," and he tells the world that the time has come to modernise the ancient system of Astrolocy The time is past, but observe this In this science is to be found the key that unlocks the great mystery of inequality in it the social problem finds its only solution." Take particular note ye dock labourers, seamen, miners, tin plate workers, stone masons, and other workers in South Wales who have been through the Sturm und. Drang of many strikes, that your philosophy and tactics are all wrong. The only solution of the difficulty is to be found in Astrology That Roath Park Lake Our parks and open spaces cost the town a figure equallio a penny farthing rate, and ratepayers are taking a jealous interest in them. They are beginging to feel that they ought to get from their possessions the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number. One of these jealous guardians of park rights writes me Dear Man About Town,—Are not our representatives who form the Parks Com- mittee descending to the ridiculous ? it would seem so when a grievance that the water fowl are being interfered with is considered in a light serious enough to warrant an instruction to the Borough Engineer to report on the advisability of closing the prettiest part of our new lake. A more frivolous quibble has never, I believe, been raised in any public body. Perhaps on the whole we should not be surprised, for although we were told that the Park would be an Elysium it has only so far proved a grotesque mound of restrictions. You were at one time instrumental in saving us from the most arbitrary set of bye-laws ever framed, nevertheless that portion of the Park you gained for the unrestricted use of the public is shut every evening an hour after sunset, in spite of the fact that the Corporation has no more right to close that portion than they have to blojk up a public road. Now some members want to close the most charming part of the lake. Why, forsooth ?- because a few clucks are being interfered with. T 'm"I'.>< to understand that a considerable portion of the £ 70,000 ex. pended on the Park was laid out for the purpose of providing a habitation for a few ducks. Really the restrictions about the Park are becoming intolerable. The gates are often closed before time on the far side, you cannot walk on the grass, and before the hour of closing you are harassed by a keeper's whistle. If the committee are going to continue taking notice of such idiotic quibbles I should suggest that the place be closed and that townspeople be admitted a dozen at a time with a strong escort of keepers. U FREQUENTER OF THE LAKE. I have also received a long letter from a correspondent who writes to confirm my observations on the shop girl. Amongst many other things he says: You have given your attention to the shop assistant and the shop girl cannot you give the restaurant slave and the bar martyr the assistance of your pen and the benefit of your sympathy. They need it, God knows for their days are longer than the shop girl's and no half-holidays, with only an occasional evening off." The frequenters of restaurants and hotel bars might do something to set the slaves free from these long hours, if they desired it: They could soon make the force of their opinion felt. Won't they do it ? Judge Edwards, who was banquetted last night in Cardiff, is passing through a blaze of glory. He told his friends that from the time he landed at Liverpool he had been feasted and feted and shaken by the hand "until he hardly knew where he stood." In that sentence he gave a true picture of Celtic congratulations and the ebullition of Celtic spirit. Judge Edwards, of Scranton, was probably un- known to most of those who assembled to do him honour at the Royal Hotel. It was enough for them that he was, like them a Welshman, from across the water, where so many friends have gone out to seek their fortunes. Welshmen Everywhere," one of the toasts, was the key note of the proceedings. How different are the methods of the Celt and the Saxon as illustrated in this banquet to Judge Edwards. Had he been an Englishman visiting his native place from America and passing through the principal towns, he would not have obtained a three-line paragraph of notice in the papers. He would have stepped off the railway train, gone to an hotel, looked around quietly, and spent his evening in the smoke-room in the company of the commer- cials or visited the theatres. He would leave as he entered it, unhonoured, unsung. But he would think nothing of this, he would expect no more. That is the stolid, quiet Saxon way.
Proposing to Eight Ladies
Proposing to Eight Ladies An Eccentrio Gentleman who Left Eight I Wills. A strange probate suit came before Sir Francis Jeune yesterday. Mr Francis John Poore Bail- ward, a gentleman of larg. s means, formerly lived at Templecombe, whence he removed to Bath in the early part ot 1885. He was of eccentric habits, one of his amiable weaknesses being for sending postcards with horrible inscriptions to his rela- tions and friends. Another idiosyncracy was an excessive susceptibility, which induced him to tali in love with and propose marriage to no fewer than eight young ladies in the year 1885, and to make eight wills, leaving all his earthly posses- sions to the eight ladies. His relations had to apply to the Post Office authorities to stop the transmission of his postcards. In the end of 1885 Mr Bailward took it into his head that his Physician was Poisoning Him, I and brought an action for damages, which was of course decided in favour of the medical gentleman. After this A declaration of lunacy was made against Bailward, and he was placed under restraint He is now dead, leaving the eight wills and the eight "sealed widowettes and his brother, Mr William Amyas Bailward, Applied to the Court to set Mide the wills and declaro that the deceased, being of unsound mind, died intestate. Counsel for Mrs Carter and Mi •jses Blake and Clissold, presumably three of J the inamorata, consented to this course. Mr Inderwick, Q C., put in one of the postcards, of which he said he had bundles, and all the wills, after seeing which Sir Francis Jeune had no hesi- tation in pronouncing that the deceased died intestate. It was understood that out of the large estate consolation stakes were to be offered to the widowettes.

I The return home of a Blackburn man after as f absence of nearly twenty years has just furnished in some respects a parallel in real life to tlbt romance of Enoch Arden. His wife, thinking him dead, married again and lived happily until the death recently of her second husband. About a month after this event the wanderer returned, and found a daughter whom be had left in the oradle grown a fine young woman. While he was talking to her the wife appeared, and swooned on seeing her husband. On her recovery, mutual explanations led to a reconciliation. -'j MARRIAGE "LINES." A woman who appeared before the Croydolil magistrates strongly resembles the one in Mr Christie Murray's novel, "Joseph's Coat, who was under the impression that her marriage could not be proved because her lines had been lost in the lining of her husband's surtoub, and coull not be found. She charged a man named Dennis Collins with assaulting her, and said he was, or ought to be, her husband, but unfortunately he had burned her marriage lines, and thus deprived her of the means 0: establishing her rightful position. Wher< were you married ?" asked the chairman. Tht woman answered that it was in St. Mary" Catholic Church in Westminster about 18 montht 5 ago. She could not get any nearer the date because, as she said, she was no scholar. Ooninf denied being her spouse, although tiouridotibtedll adopted the mistaken husband's prerogative o! chastising her in a rough and ready manner. Th< Bench fined him 15s, with the alternative of < fortnight in gaol. If she really be married, it is needless to say that the burning of her lines does not affect her position in the slightest; but the question for her to consider is whether it blk worth while to prove marriage with a man who beats her, and, in her own words, is alwayt knocking her about." The only advantage it doing so would be te compel an allowance frof him if he has any income. i CURIOSITIES OF COOKING, I In a French cookery book of the 14th oenturj « one is told how to dreas a hedgehog to make it taste like a chicken. How to make a fat lami of a pig sounds ingenious, but rather a waste o' energy, and it is amusing to find a recipe for good coffee3tartunabashedly with "Takeaquartof hor« beans."

RELIGION AND LUXURY. I
RELIGION AND LUXURY. I A Temptation. Satan is not to have all the luxuries which civilisation brings in its train. Religion.is gradually getting a fair share. In the old days the seats in charolias were so contrived that if a man allowed himself to be driven by the sermon into a soothing slumber he at ouoe tumbled on the floor. These slsep-traps were in time superseded by high-backed pews, stiff and uncomfortable, which in their turn have disappeared in favour of roomy seats or cane-bottomed chairs. Undoubt- edly the present state uf things marks a gradual but great improvement. But the pews of to-day, good as they are, are only tit for people fairly strong and capable of enduring some fatigue. The weak and the ailing could not remain in them even the length of an ordinary sermon. In Westbourne Park Chapal, where the Rev. Dr. Clifford ministers, the feeble in health will in future be oared for in a special manner. The vestry, which is on a level with the pulpit, is to be furnished with couches and easy chairs, on which invalids may hear the sermon through the opaii doors, and join in the music, just as it they were in the chapel itself. Oare will necessarily be taken to limit the couches and easy chairs to those who really require them, as the temptation, especially in hot weather, to become temporarily indisposed will be very great.

BREAKING AND ENTERING, Smart Capture by a Cardiff Csnstable. At Cardiff Police Court this morning Jeremiah Healey (48) was charged with breaking and enter- ing a lock-up shop, No. 22, The Tunnel, and stealing therefrom a coat and padlock, valued at 10S, the property of Henry Ford, on the 7th inat. Prosecutor, who is a cooper, said that he lockeil the shop up at 6.15 p.m., le.,ivitig the coat h,-ing- ing behind the door, to which was attached the padlock. This he found on the following day had been broken, and when he entered the shop found that the coat. was missing. P.O. John Male stated that on the 8sh inst., during the early hours of the morning, he was on duty at the Tunnel and heard someone walking along. Shortly afterwards he heard a crash, and examined the door of No. 22. It was open, and ooncealed behind the door was prisoner with the coat on his arm. Before he had time to speak to the prisoner he said, Hello what the do you wanb here ?" at the same time producing a knife, with which he attempted to strike hint. Witness drew his staff and dealt him A blow on the arm, which caused him to drop the knife. On searching prisoner he found the padlock (produced) in his pocket. Inspector Durston asked for a remand for a week in order to make further inquiries into prisoner's antece- dents.

A Cardiff Breach of Promise…
A Cardiff Breach of Promise Case. THE QUESTION OF DAMAGES. t Proceedings To-day, Mr Lawrence Williams (Under Sheriff for Glamorganshire) sab with a jury at the Town Hall, Cardiff, this morning for the purpose of assessing damages in a local breach of promise action, the parties being Edith Burge, of 12, System-street, Roath, and Joseph Burston, of Milverton. The defendant was represented by Mr Clarke, of the firm of Reed and Cooke, Taunton and Mr George David, Oardiff, was for the plaintiff. Case tor the Plaintiff. In opening his case, Mr David said that as defendant had made absolutely no claim in answer to the writ duly served upon him by plaintiff the jury had merely to assess the amount of damages his client had sustained. Mr David read one letter addressed to defendant by plaintiff after she had visited Milverton, where he has established a Golden Ciust Bakery, when she failed to understand his silence, and in this she said :— My dear Joe,—How is it you have not written to me according to promise 'I I am quite sure that your aunt or uncle could not with truth tell you anything to put you against me, because if I have done anything wrong it is without knowing it. I thought that you wanted me to come over to Milverton, and that was why I was determined to come. Your uncle said that the only thing he had against me coming was that I was not well enough to come, but then I got all right again soon. Dear Joe, you are not angry with me, are you ? I think I should die if anything came between us. If you only knew how miserable I am you would n,)Ot nlybe unkind to me I am sure. I feel as if I am mad or something. I don't know what I am doing. Perhaps if I didn't lore you so well I should not take any notice, but I can't help loving you, can I, doar, when you have always been so good to me? I am quite sure if anything happened I should die. Joe, dear, do write to me this evening if you possibly can. I want to know what your aunt was so nasty to me about, but you won't listen or take any notice of them, will you, dear, because if I please you it is nothing to do with us whether they like me or not. I have not displeased you, have IV I think I must < onclude now. Hoping to have a letter in the morning, with fondest love and sympathy for you in such a trying position, from yours ever, BERT. X X x X x P.S.—Do write by return a true, long letter. Plaintiff in the Witness Bex. I iriaintiff, a nice looking brunette, said she was 24 years of age. Her father died between twelve and fourteen years ago, and she had since been living with her mother. She first got to know the defendant when she was engaged in a millinery business in C-,istle-road, he being engaged in a bakery and confectionery business next door. He was introduced to her about February, 1892, at his request. Subsequently he came to witness's mother's house at Easter of that year, and after Whitsun he called regularly, and they used to go oub together. They once had a quarrel, but nothing come of it except to make them faster friends than before. She thereafter considered herself engaged, and about twelve months ago defendant gave her an engage- ment ring. In September of 1893 she had a slight internal illness, which kept her confined to the house for some time. During that time defendant visited her regularly, and although she offered to release him from the engagement he refused, and afterwards promised her to get married in the spring of this year. In February of the present year he went to Milverton, his uncle, who lived at that town, and who carried on a business of confectioner, &c., having sent for him. Shorbly afterwards she also went to Milverton on a visit, where she was told by plaintiff about the business. She was told that defendant had taken over the business, but that his uncle had bought the premises. Defendant had told her also that the expectations arising from the business were excellent, a clear profit of £ 5 a week being a certainty. Some white later she wenb over to Weston to meet his uncle and aunt. She there met a male friend of hers, whom she introduced to her unole and aunt. She was away from her uncle and aunt's companionship with him for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. On her return he promised to write to her, but she did not receive a letter, and she wrote to him the letter that had been read. She then consulted Mr David. She had not seen him since he was at Milverton until the present day. She did not know if her uncle and aunt were present. She had made preparations for the wedding, and had bought things to the amount of JB15. She had also given him frequent presents, which be had not returned. She had been very much upset. Cross-examined The engagement actually took place a couple of years ago. Defendant told her he had borrowed £ 50, hub could soon pay it back. She told him she did like a house where be was living, but did not like the garden very much. Plaintiff's Mother Called. I Mrs Jane Burge said her daughter, the plaintiff, had been living with her. She was apprenticed to the dressmaking, but during her engagement to the defendant she had aeased her employment. After her illness she went back to work. She had consulted a doctor with regard to being married, and with the doctor's approval she made arrange- ments for being married. Witness made the purchases to the amount of j315. She had made one offer to the defendant-to give the uncle the 2100 he borrowed. I Examination of the Defendant. I The defendant, called, said that the takings from his business were about 220 per week and his profits between 22 10s and 23 per week. He had no other business. The reason for breaking off the engagement was the illhealth of the plaintiff. He thought she would be unfit for the work of a country business. His business extended about 10 miles around the district of MilvertoD, and he employed a man and an assistant, and he had a couple of horses and traps with which to deliver the goods. Cross-examined by Mr David: He had no bank book, with the exception of the Post Office Savings Bank book. He did not lemember telling the plaintiff that his profits were j65 per week. He purchased the house and the horses with money borrowed from his uncle. The plaintiff had told him that she had another offer from a gentleman who was better off than be was, and it was in consequence of this that he wrote her the Jettar, saying that their engagement would have to be a Jonr< 1 one, and that if she had another offer she had better accept that. He wrote to plaintiff that it was never much of a pleasure to go anywhere with her as she was always ill. He had also written to her tha.t he wished she was at Milverton as he wanted to go walks with her, and on another occasion he wrote asking her to go over and see a house with a view to marriage. And now you wrote, a month or so afterwards, that you did not wish to sfst married because you thought she was not in a fit state ot health Yes, and she was not. Was it not on account of the dislike which your uncle and aunt had to plaintiff that you broke off the engagement ?-No. Re-examined by Mr Clark, defendant said his business hd not turned out much profit, his total income being about j32 10s. This concluded the case for defendant, and Mr Clark said he would nob address the jury again. Temmy Make Roam for Yeur Uncle." I Mr George David, ill his address, said there was once a popular song, Tommy make room for your uncle" (laughter)— and he thought that that was the case with regard to the defendant. OR rather it was "Joey make room for your unole." (Laughter.) Reviewing the evidence, Mr David said defendant had not produced his bank book or any book to show his financial position or his in- come, as desired, and the only conclusion which he thought the jury would come to was that defend- ant had not told them the truth on that point, But he asked them to believe the statement h" had previously ma.de, that his profits were jS5 a week, and that the statement he now made that he was only making half that sum was untrue. He also asked them to d'sbelieve defendant's STATEMENTS regard- ing the reason for breaking off the marriage. The uncle had had far too much to do in the matter, and it was a cowardly statement for the defendant to make that the girl was in such a condition of health "Y. that she could not be mavriect. Why, he knew she had been examined by n. doctor who told her that she was in a fit oondition to be married, and that such marriage would be beneficial to her, yet lie had the cowaidly audacity to stand up in the witueas-box and tell the jury that he could not marry her on tho ground of her ill-health. Mv David concluded by appealing to the jury to give the plaintiff substantial damages. Damages X50. The jury, after a brief consultation following the short summing-up of the U n(terThpriff, assessed the damages at 250,
