The Man About Town. I
The Man About Town. I In one envelope addressed from Ponh, and in the handwriting of a lady, I have two letters. My Correspondent signs her- self An Indignant British Matron and Pro Bono Publico." She is anxious to set the world aright and see justice done where she perceives it has miscarried, either on the side of leniency or of severity. » Pro Bono Publico makes a threat in a postscript that she will write every paper till she arouses sympathy in her efforts on behalf of those she will cham- pion. Let me advise her to save her time and expend her sympathy upon some poor creature whom she meets in her daily walks at Porth or the neighbourhood. Her object is praiseworthy, her sense of resent- ing injustice—or what she conceives to be injustice-is excellent and praiseworthy to a degree, but the world has business of its own, and will jog on unheeding her. Her stamps, paper, and energies had better be expended in other directions. There are in this imperfect world of war- ring interests and emotions many gross miscarriages of justice. The strong triumph over the weak, and prejudice and avarice occasionally prove stronger than truth and justice. The meshes of the law are often wide, and the wrongdoers slip through, but there is always a healthy state of public opinion abroad which tries cases and arrives at conclusions; opposed to those of juries impannelled at the legal trial. It is this public opinion- not that of the mob in the street which cheers-expressed in the family r circle, heard on the Exchange and the place of business, in the street, and wherever men and women gather that keeps our keen sense of impartiality and of justice alive, and the verdict is of much more 'im- portance frequently than that technically set down in the records of the courts. < Has Pro Bono Publico, who is so anxious to assume the office of a Public Prosecutor and to seek to arouse sympathy lor everyone wronged in a Court of Law by a miscarriage of justice, never watched the fortunes of a case which has gone on appeal from the Petty Sessions through the Higher Courts to the House of Lords itself-the final Court of Appeal ? Has she not noticed how Judges and magistrates differ, and the Law Lords divide on an apparently simple reading of the law and its application to a matter of justice which seems apparent to the merest tyro in public affairs ? I do not think she can have done so, or she would not be so eager to arouse public sympathy and sentiment over two cases which she has singled out this week for her special protection. Even in this "best of all possible worlds things are out of joint at times, and the wrongdoer stalks abroad whilst the wronged must suffer in silence. Happily, time is a great healer of wrongs, a strengthener of character, and it covers up glaring cases of wrong-doing and injustice in the oblivion of forgetfulness. Pro Bono Publico is "disgusted with the callous indifference of the British public 11 in its attitude towards the oases she mentions, and then straigbt. away desires to appeal to that callousness 1 She has not sounded public opinion, and in her home in Porth knows not what the public thinks and speaks, What she urges, without knowing definitely, is a Court of Criminal .Appeal, but she seems to think that a 10ca1; Vigilance Committee could reverse the, judgment of the Courts and punish aU offenders against the weak and defence- .1., reducing tl¡j are. too ba", and preventing the guilty from escaping their just punishment. Perfect and universal justice is not attained thus easily, as Pro Bono Publico will soon dis, cover it she maintains her new-born zeal in watching public affairs. We have all admired the palatial and massive building in Westgate-street which is to house the Cardiff branch of one of the finest Socialistic organisations or lessons in the world—the Post Office Department. The man in the street glances at the large and handsome block of masonry, with its multiplicity of rooms and extensive area, and asks himself a question whether it re- quires such a place in which to receive and despatch letters and telegrams, The office itself is a fine testimonial to the growth and importance of the town. The story which was told by the illustrations pub- lished yesterday needs to be complemented by a street map of the borough showing the extensive rounds traversed by the little army of postmen and telegraph messengers —and still the rounds increase and the fringe of the town is ever spreading further and further into the country. To keep pace with the miles of new streets and to map them out into delivery rounds tries the capable organisation which directs Post Offioe business in Cardiff, but by a system of decentralisation, secured by branch offices, the work is facilitated, and the pace is maintained with the growth of the town. Already there are over 200 postmen who tramp the streets and keep up the welcome music on the knockers of the big front doors, especially where the considerate speculative builder has forgotten the letter-box! But seriously, the growth of local Post-office business has been phenomenal, and it continues. Recent alterations in the postal rates, whereby a letter up to four ounces in weight may be posted for a penny, and the decrease in the charges in the parcels post are already leading to an extension of business and the work of the postmen is getting heavy, for letters and parcels be. sides getting weightier are more numerous. There seems to be no end to the develop- ment of the Post Office, for each succeed- ing reform on popular lines leads to an immense acquisition of business. The Chairman of the Cardiff Free Libraries Committee, I am pleased to find, was not neglected at the Mayor's banquet, though I certainly took his reference to the various public functions in con- nection with the Corporation to include the chief of them, in the absence of an explanation to the contrary. In his letter which follows, the complaint is specifically narrowed down, but reverting to my comments on the Corpora- tion Invitation List, I would emphasize their relevancy by noting that Mr Sbackell is also of opinion that the list should be thoroughly revised Dear Man About Town,—In reference to your note in to-day's Echo, I wish to say that although I thoroughly endorse your view that the list of invitations to the Mayor's AnnWLI Banquet should be thoroughly revised, you are under an entire misapprehension with regard to the remarks made by me at the meeting of the Free Library Committee on Tuesday ni ht. As far as I am personally concerned, I have been invited by each successive Mayor for the last 20 years, and have therefore no cause of complaint on this point. There are, however, a number of other functions that take place annually (notably the visit to the new reservoir and the inspection of the water works) that are of a semi-private character, and practically confined to the members of the Council and the Corporation officials, and it is in connec- tion with these gatherings that I consider the courtesy of an invitation should be extended to the chairman of both the Free Library Com- mittee and the Technical Instruction Committee. It surely must be admitted that it is not abso- lutely essential for officials to receive a salary, and I believe that I am right in contending that the persona who occupy the chair of two such important committees as I have referred to are entitled to any ex-officio privileges that may be conferred upon the paid officials in the employ of the Corporation from time to time.—I am, &c., E. W. SHACKELL, Chairman Cardiff Free Libraries Committee. 191, Newport-road, Nov. 25th, 1897. « Here is an excellent piece of news for those who delight in listening to good music on Sunday or any other day, but in this instance the treat in store is for Sunday next of all others. I hinted some time ago that recitals of Sacred Music would be given in the Park Hall on the three Sundays' preceding Christmas, and I now learn that all arrangements have been made for the first. Before mentioning the programme or the musicians, let me say that all seats will be free and there will only be a collection at the doors. The Recitals begin at 8.15 and will conclude shortly before 9 o'clock, in ample time for the servant girl to return to her duties and the young people to get home in respectable hours." All that is asked of those who attend is that no one should leave whilst a piece is being played. As for decorum or good behaviour, that is all that can be desired in a Park Hall congregation, and the request about leaving is made so that the pleasure of the listeners shall not be marred by a little thoughtlessness. For the first Recital the services of Mr Kendrick, organist,and Mr Arthur Angle, violinist, have beenfsecured gratuitously. The music to be played on Sunday night includes March from Naaman," Costa; Prayer and Cradle Song, Guilmant; Violin Solo: (a) Largo, Handel; (b) Benedictus, Mackenzie. Fantasia for organ, Best, Violin solo: Reverie Pathetiqua Mas. cheroni. Organ, The Chorister, Sullivan. What greater treat can be had at so trifling a cost or free, than this service of music in a building like the Park Hall ? I would cry like Oliver, Give us more.

I GOSSIP AND COMMENTS. Two police constables will give solidity and introduce much-needed skill to the Cardiff pack against Newport. They are the veteran Inter- national, D. Evans, and R. Janes, of the Peny- graig and Llwynypia Clubs. The newcomers will replace Mills and D&vies, and forwards will otherwise be the same as against Morriaton. It is not definitely known whether Evans will be a permanent member of the pack, but it is prac- tically certain that ho will accompany the Car- diffians to Cambridge, and it is hardly likely that the committee would have selected him for special occasions. It is rumoured that Alexander is likely to remove from Llwynypia to Cardiff at an early date, and he, like Evans and Jones, would be a desirable acquisition. The Scottish Football Association have wisely decided upon Parkhead (the ground of the Celtic P.O.) for the International match with England in April. This wa.s the .venue of the game in 1895-6,^ and it will be remembered that no fewer than aoout 60,000 people—the record number at that period-aa.w the liome side triumph over the Saxon—not without some luck—by two goals to one. Parkhead is the east end of Glasgow, and the neighbourhood is easily accessible. Richmond mean to be strongly represented in their match with Blackheath to-morrow, and are leaving no atone unturned to get together the best of their players. W. Ashford refused the place offered him in the London team for Wednesday's match because he could not get away from Exeter twice within the week, and preferred to play for his old club. W. L. Bunting, who is at JJromsgrove School, will make bis first appearance for the season in the match. A spectator of the Maesteg v. Neath A match writes complaining of the decision of the W.F.U. to suspend the Maesteg ground for two Satur- clays-in consequence of a report by the Referee as to the conduct of the spectators. The writer urges the, nnjustness of the sentence, alleging that the refereeing was not well done, and asserts that the club has been wrongly penalised, as according to him any misconduct complained "of was the act of an outsider," a person who was actually not'in the field at all. It is fortunate for Pontypridd Club-that their match against Mountain Ash is not a League contest. After playing so great a game against the cup-holdevs on Saturday last the team will be but a shadow of itself at Mountain Ash. P.C. Rees and McKenzie of the forwards are, taking a rest, peripatetic Phillips has gone back to Mountain Ash, and George Warlow, the full- back, is disinclined to turn out. Strong efforta wero made to include T. Jones, Penygraig full- back, in the Pontypridd side against Llwynypia, and failing him it is likely that an invitation will be extended to J. E. Jones, of Cardiff, the sterling Llwynypia custodian, whose club has a day off. I NEWPORT V. CARDIFF Saturday, Nov. 27th.

IPoor Young Queen! I
Poor Young Queen! i HER MINISTERS WONT LET HER BIKE. The Queen of Holland, young and inexperienced though is, has her full share of human trials and for the moment ehe is simply inconsolable. Queen Wilhelmine recently paid a visit to the Court of Vienna, accompanied by her august mother, and while there became passionately fond of cycling. It is a fashion in Vienna, and .Queens are as liable to fall under its sway as shopgirls and typewriters, especially if they be young and brimful of spirits. Queen Wilhelmine returned to her home in Holland, taking with her, as a precious sonvenir, a cycle which comes as near perfection as one can well conceive. After she had amused herself by whirling up and down the walks of the Royal garden for half an hour, her mother, the Queen Regent, was seized with harrowing scruples as to the propriety of the thing. A Cabinet Minister or his wife might, of course, "bike" to their heart's con- tent without provoking censure or comment; .even a duchess might mount a bicycle or guide a tandem without any loss of dignity. But a Queen There is no authentic precedent for such a radical innovation, or, if there be, it is worth- less. The Queen Regent made matters ae clear as she could to her Royal daughter, but the wilful young maiden declared she could not see it. What Was to be Done P j The matter was at once referred to the Privy Council, all the members of which were sum- moned in hot haste, and asked to consider and solve the question whether a Queen of Holland could bike without losing the halo of Majesty The Privy Council deliberated very carefully and. discussed the matter very exhaustively, coming to the unwelcome conclusion that biking and reigning were incompatible—or words to that effect. For the precedents cited in favour of the contrary opinion," this august body declared, 1. are not to the point. In no other case was the person who used the bicycle as a locomotion so precious to her subjects, in no other instance was the life and health of the Royal bicyclist so necessary to the welfare of such a large number of subjects as in this." Therefore, we humbly implore your gracious Majesty," said the President, not to expose your precious life to this danger, how slight, so. ever it may seem." The young Queen pouted, but obeyed, and, as a sort of cold comfort, accepted a present of a Shetland pony. She sighed like a biker and obeyed like a Monarch, as Gibbon might have phrased it.-Dc&ity Telegraph.

The Edinburgh Tragedy.I
The Edinburgh Tragedy. I A MYSTERIOUS YOUNG LADY. I Story of a Love-Siok Admirer. The Scotsman publishes a remarkable account of an interview one of its staff has had with a young gentleman in Edinburgh who became acquainted with Terese Ulfeld, the young woman who shot herself in the police office in that city some days ago. The young gentleman in question is a Scottish engineer in the employment of the Spanish Government. He is over 30 years of age, is nn- married, and is at present in Edinburgh on a holiday. He related first how he was attracted towards the young woman by finding her, in broken English, asking directions of a porter on Edinburgh Railway Station. She wanted to get to a place called Granton. Out of pity for her in her difficulty the young man respectfully raised his hat and offered to eseort her. After a while she consented to accept his help, and having brought her back from Granton he took her to her hotel, arriving there about midnight. The report of the interview continues She was altogether so charming a young lady that knowing from what she had said to me that she was alone in the city, I begged to be allowed to be of any service to her while she remained in it. Having got her permission to call next day, I did so and I don't mind saying that I Fell Deeply In Love With Her. I I called every day after, and took her to some place of interest—the Castle, Holyrood, Roslin, Dalkeith Palace-the usual round of sights, indeed, that a, stranger is shown in and about the city. She had a. sweet, low voice, and was in all respects of lady-like manners and refined feelings, and very warm-hearted. She was also impulsive and of a strong will, one or two outbreaks of which I was a witness of. In the Dalkeith Palace grounds, though notices were np that nothing must be touched, she insisted, against my remonstrance, in pulling two small pieces of ivy. I That is one for you and one for me,' she said, all souvenirs.' But I cannot accept it,' I said, and I ex. plained the tea.son of the restrictions put upon visitors. Oh, very well,' she replied, and throwing one piece of the ivy on the ground she stamped it in & pretty little pet under her heel. When we came to the chapel she insisted on getting inside. She would not let me enter, but I saw that she went up to the altar and knelt before it for some minutes in prayer." In going abont in this way (asked the inter- viewer) did she take an intelligent interest in the places and things she saw ?-There is no doubt about that. The fact is she knew more about some of the pictures and those who painted them than I did, and she had an excellent acquaintance with the period of Mary Stuart. The attraction I felt for her ripened into real affection, and I Offered to Make Her My Wife I if she could accept me. She replfed that lhad been kind brother to her in her distress, but she could not marry me. I could," she said, not love you as I loved my old fiancfe." Did she tell you about her former life ?-Sbe said she was a. Countess. I understood that her father or her family before that had been exiled at some period and had lost their property. She accounted for her deep mourning by telling me that it was for her fiancfe—a Russian gentlsman, who died suddenly the week before the marriage. As to the telegrams whioh have been received about her origin, all I can say is that if she is of humble parentage and upbringing she was Quitc-a Phenomenal Personage. I Low-born girls cannot generally play the piano and the violin and sketch. Of course, I cannot dogmatise on it, but my own belief from having seen her so often and sttidied her is that there muat be some mistake. For example, the police telegram said she was a servant girl, the daughter of poor parents." Yesterday your telegram said she came of good family. I am inclined to believe the latter statement. Did she ever ask you for money, or was money spoken about ?-Yes, I brought up the subject one day, and said that if she had lost her purse she must take a loan. She said it was not necessary. She had some left, and she expected, she said, a remittance from abroad. She was not a lady that one liked to press on this point, and I did not refer to the subject again. What about the revolver ?—Well, I saw that one day in the hotel when I called, and I asked I 'b to give it to me, but she refused, and said that Russian ladies all Carried Revolvers for Proteotion. I She also added that she might need it to shoot herself. I took that for joke at the time, for although she told me that she had been in great distress (I under- stood that, of course, to be mental distress), she was often very cheerful, and sometimaa hummed a.song. She consented to go to the theatre one night to sea the Opera Company, but as she was half an hour late in coming down from her room we went to the Ballet Girl." She did not care for the piece, and got little enjoyment from it. On the Tuesday upon which she shot herself. I called by appointment at the hotel at one o'clock in the afternoon. She received me, but asked to be excused from going out, aa she was writing let- ters. She asked me to come back the same night at seven, and I was waiting in the hotel for her when the detectives came in and announced the terrible news. I believe she had been kept in the police office for at least,five hours. I was terribly npset, and I was very indignant a.t some questions the officers asked me regarding her on the way up to the police office, whither I went with them to identify the body. As an example of her warm heart, I might tell you that she stopped one day on the High-street and spoke to a poor child, and her eyes were quite full of tears as she spoke to me afterwards-of the condition of the High-street children, whose bare feet and ragged clothes excited her tender pity. Then yon don't believe she was an adventuress ? —It is impossible that I could. She waa a lady to her finger tips. Correspondents in various parts of the country have written requesting to be allowed to purchase some of the articles which she has left. One lady 'in Glasgow was particularly anxious to get the cross which she wore. A minister writes asking if she bad any religious books. It seems that among her belongings are a Bible and a Prayer- book.

I want to state publicly that I will pay the five shillings.—The penalty was then inflicted on the chairman with the other defendants.

INorth Waies DivoreeCase
I North Waies DivoreeCase WHY MR LLOYD GEORGE DID NOT GO INTO THE BOX. Keterring to tne recent sensational divorce case, the North Wales Express and Observer states:- Further facts have, since the trial, come to light, and cannot fail to remove any lingering suspicion which might by any possibility have remained in the prejudiced mind. The question has, for instance, been asked, I Why did not Mr Lloyd George himself enter the witness-box ?' The reply is as simple as it is conclusive. He was prepared to enter the box he offered to do so; the proof of his evidence was actually in counsel's hand, but as there was not a tittle of evidence against Mr Lloyd George, this was not necessary. It is not Mr Lloyd George's fault that he did not put in an appearance in the wit- ness-box. Another important point which cursory readers of the reports of the trial may have over- looked is the fact that the so-called confession' on which the entire case as against Mr Lloyd George rested has been withdrawn, and on oath declared to be without foundation. From what- ever point of view the matter be regarded, the result is the same—Mr Lloyd George's vindica- tion is ample, complete, conclusive—and we offer him the hearty congratulations of his constituout4 whose faith in him has never been shaken."
INSIDE THE HOUSE.
INSIDE THE HOUSE. Curious Deal in Chartereds." At the Central Criminal Court yesterday William Hugh Mitchell (27), clerk, pleaded guilty to obtaining a cheque for L40 12s 6d and other money from Mr George Mitcham by false pre- tences. The prisoner also pleaded gnihy tfl another indictment charging him with that he in incurring a debt and liability to Mr George Mitcham obtained credit from him to the amount of iC390 12s 6d by false pretences. Mr F. M. Abrahams and Air Taxrell prosecuted; Mr Geoghegan and Mr Percival Hughes appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor, Mr George Mitcham, is a mem- ber of the Stock Exchange. On September 30th Mr Mitcham was in the South African Market. The prisoner went up to him and asked him to quote a price for Chartereds. The prosecutor told him the price. The prisoner went away and afterwards came back and said he wanted to deal. The prosecutor asked him whose author. ised clerk he was. The prisoner replied Barth- ropp." Mr Barthropp is a well known member of the Stock Exchange. The prosecutor, believing that the prisoner was the authorised clerk of Mr Barthropp, opened an account in South African securities. A sum of £40 12s 6d became due to Mr Barthropp for differences, and the prosecutor drew a cheque for that amount, and, in accord- ance with the custom of the Stock Exchange, left it in his office to be called for. The prisoner obtained possession of the cheque and got the mcney. Subsequently 963 14s Id became due to Mr Barthropp for differences, and the prosecutor drew a cheque in favour of Mr Barthropp for that amount and left it in his office to be called for. The prisoner also obtained possession of that cheque and got the money for it. It was afterwards ascertained that the prisoner was not Mr Barthropp's authorised clerk. Mr Barthropp absolutely repudiated the account. He did not know the prisoner, and he never authorised the account to be opened in his name. The account was closed, there being a loss of El,242, whioh would fall on the prosecutor. Mr Geoghegan said the prisoner, who had ormerly been a clerk in a jobber's office, bore an excellent character. Since 1894 the prisoner had had no permanent employment. He had been in the hands of money-lenders, and he committed the fraud being hard pressed for money. Evidence was given as to the excellent character borne by the prisoner. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour.

80 LIKE A MOTHER. Mr Alfred Gwyther, who rents the Eiag William Stables in Ebenezer-terrace, ap- peared at the Newport Borough Police Court to-day to answer a. charge of assaulting Mrs Rose Merchant, 22, Ebenezer-terrace. Mrs Merchant's boy was said to have taken a parcel from one of the traps and WM ma.king off with it, when Mr Gwyther pursued and captured him, and chastised him for it. The youngster went whining to his mother, and the latter in an indignant mood went to Mr Gwyther, and then there was a disagreement as to what happened afterwards. Mrs Merahant declared that Gwyther struck her in the face, blackening her eye whilst Mr Gwyther and Councillor T. M. Harris said that Mra Merchant flew at the former and tried to tear his face, and all that he did waa to push her away. Mr Digby Powell, solicitor, con- tended that no more force than was necessary had been used. A majority of the Bench decided otherwise, however, and fined Mr Gwyther 5s.

(Langhter.) -Mr Rose You should have had more skill in penetration. Placing horses in a row could be managed, but getting the money is another matter. (Laughter.)—The applicant added that, although the people represented themselves as too poor to pay the money, they were offering another prize of £ 200.—Mr Rose did not think the appli- cant could institute proceedings for fraud, but suggested that he should throw a little good -money after bad in order to recover his own i8 the County Court.—The applicant thanked tt magistrate and withdrew.
