How true it is that grief and affliction are the common lot of all, and that suffer- ing comes to all men and women alike— the great and the lowly—in the palace and in the cottage—but in sickness there is the consolation that suffering may be assuaged, strength and health, generally speaking, restored by attention to the dictates of Nature, and the enlistment in man's service of the bountiful goodness that abounds in the fertility of the earth -the gifts of a beneficent Providence.

SOUTH GLAMORGAN CONSERVATIVE…
SOUTH GLAMORGAN CONSER- VATIVE ASSOCIATION. PROPERTY OWNERS AND THEIR VOTES. Unionists owning property in the South Glamor- gan Parliamentary Division are asked to see that their names are on the voting list. In cases of doubt or absence Mr R. C. Griffiths, the registra- tion agent, Bridgend, invites communications.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION. SPEECH BY COLONEL WYNDHAM-QUIN, M.P. The annual general meeting of the South Gla- morganshire Conservative Association was held at the Cardiff Conservative Club on Saturday last, Mr O. H. Jones, J.P., Fonmon Castle, presiding. The report for the past year, read by the hon. secretary (Mr R. C. Griffiths) referred to the events of the past year. Dealing with the election, the report stated that the assistance rendered by Lady Eva Wyndham-Quin was largely instrumen- tal in winning the seat. Mr Griffiths added an expression of his thanks to all the sub-agents for the help rendered in the registration and also during the election. Colonel Gaskell proposed the re-election of Lord Windsor as president of the Association.—Mr A. C. Mackintosh seconded, and the motion was heartily agreed to. On the motion of Mr R. C. Griffiths, Mr O. H. Jones was re-elected as vice-president. The Chairman proposed the re-election of Mr G. B. T. Nicholl as hon. treasurer, which was carried. The Chairman, in proposing the re-election of the hon. secretary, said that all who knew Mr Griffiths felt that he devoted a great deal of time to the work. The success of the Association so far was due to his efforts.—The motion was carried with applause. Colonel Wyndham-Quin, M.P. for the division, gave a short address, in the course of which he thanked the members of the Association and his supporters in the constituency for the support they gave him at the last election. He also expressed thanks for the kindness and consideration that were shown to Lady Eva Wyndham Quin in her efforts on behalf of his candida- ture during his absence. (Applause.) It was largely owing to her efforts that they were able to get such excellent speakers as Mr George Wyndham and Lord George Hamilton. (Applause.) They had a serious duty in 1895-to oppose Home Rule and the Disestablish- ment proposals, but at the last election they had a still more difficult and serious duty—to decide upon the settlement of the South African question. He believed that no party, except the Unionist party, was able to carry out that duty properly. (Applause.) It was incumbent upon them as patriots and as Unionists to do all they could to keep the Government in office until that question was settled. He deplored the fact that a number of pro-Boer meetings were held throughout the country, and regretted that a meeting very much of that disposition was held at Pontypridd on. the previous evening. The absence from that meeting of the Imperial section of the Liberal party was a matter that gave him great satisfaction. He could not condemn too strongly meetings of that kind, either as a politician or as a soldier. No greater harm could happen to our Army in South Africa than the occurrence of such meetings. Our soldiers risked their lives in the battlefield, and it was not fair that greater hardships should be thrown upon them by-the action of their fellow-countrymen at home. (Hear, hear.) Referring again to the election, he said that in South Glamorgan they did extremely well, although the pendulum of time was against them and there were certain tactical mistakes on the part of party managers outside South Glamorgan, which did a great deal of damage. He hoped that such tactics would not be entered upon on another occasion. If they pulled together and bore in ifundithe; great principles for which they had to work they would always retain South Glamorgan as a Unionist seat and as a copy for other constituencies in South Wales.
- BARRY OFFICER ON SCHOOL…
BARRY OFFICER ON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. A conference in connection with the School Attendance Officers' National Association was held at Cardiff on Saturday last. At the after- noon meeting the Rev F. J. Beck presided over a large attendance, composed of school attendance officers from the South Wales branches of the Association. Mr A. Seig (Barry) read a paper on "The Position and Influence of the School Attendance Officers' National Association in the Educational World. He urged the necessity of independence in thought and speech. They had spoken, he said, when tf-ey should have remained silent; they had remained silent when silence was a crime. In the latter case he referred to the absence of any resolution at the central conference on the Children's Drink Bill. At eight o'clock in the morning he had seen little children carrying drink home from public-houses, and of all the causes that kept children from school that was the most inexcusable and demoralising. On the other hand, the Association Lad seen fit to pass a resolution urging that child labour was detrimental to the health and morals of the rising generation, and that all children should be prevented from being employed at any time under fourteen years of age. He was strongly opposed to that, for education was not a satisfactory substitute for food and clothes, and by going to work occasionally many a lad could obtain a good meal and good clothing which he would otherwise be without. On the subject of the health and morals of the children, Mr Seig was of opinion that after eight o'clock in the summer and seven o'clock in the winter the streets should be cleared of all children under thirteen years of age, and parents of children found in the streets after those hours should be liable to prosecution. For young people under eighteen years of age attendance at evening schools should be made compulsory. He dwelt upon the necessity for developing character in the schools, upon the teacher taking an interest in the moral salvation of every child, for there must be something radically w-rong with day schools when there were boys who preferred to go to a truants' school, A discussion followed.

FOREIGNERS AT THE AGRICULTURAL…
FOREIGNERS AT THE AGRI- CULTURAL SHOW. SOME INTERESTING EXPERIENCES RECORDED. Cardiff enjoys under normal conditions the reputation of being one of the most cosmopolitan towns in the United Kingdom, but during the recent visit of the Royal Agricultural Society of England it has added still more to its reputation in this respect, Among those who visited the great show was the Ambassador of the Sultan of Morocco and his suite, thereby adding one more variety to the many nationalities represented in the town. The experiences of these foreign potentates were numerous and interesting, as was evidenced by the interviews given by Kaid Maclean to the Press. "But talking of experiences," remarked Mr Richard Bladen to a Cardiff Times reporter, I'll wager that an experience I had will match any in which the foreign visitors figured, and moreover is of greater interest to Welshmen." I would like to hear it," said the reporter, who was chatting with Mr Bladen at his home, 9, Ann- street, Canton, Cardiff. As the chief stableman of a well-known local firm of brewers," said Mr Bladen, '• I have to take the responsibility of a team of horses when executing extensive country orders. At the present time I am fit for anything, but a few weeks ago I could not say as much. In fact I may say that for some eight months I was in very bad health, getting worse and worse and weaker and weaker, until at last I had to give up work for a few weeks and lay up." "Indeed I think I can date the commencement of my illness to one day when I was bringing home a load of hay. On the road we had come to a standstill, and I was on top of the hay and my companion who was with me was standing on the road talking to me. Suddenly without any warning I fainted and fell headlong into the road- way. Fortunately for me, as I say, my com- panion was standing in the roadway, and seeing what had happened rushed forward and broke my fall. If he had not done so I do not know what might have happened; I suppose I should have fallen on my head and broken my neck. However, I came to myself before long, and after coming home I had medical advice and Rome medicine, and I did not think at the time that I suffered any ill- effects from the incident." It was some time after that that I found myself getting weaker in health, and began to feel pains in the small of the back and in the stomach. This had gone on for some time, but I did not realise how much weaker I had become until one day the usual supply of corn for our horses was delivered to the stables. The haulier who brought in the corn had to carry the supply up to the loft, chaffed me a bit, saying I could not carry one of those sacks of corn up the stairs." "I therefore got a sack on my back and pro- ceeded to carry it up the steps, but had not got more than half way when I found I could not go any further, and down we came, the sack and myself, tumbling to the bottom. I was quite surprised at myself, and angry too, and could not understand it at all. From that time on I noticed how much more difficult my work was getting to me. You know my work is to deliver casks of beer to the various hotels doing business with my firm, and we have to let down the casks to the cellars by means of ropes. I found that the strain in doing it was becoming more and more every day, and to a young man of twenty-five this was a serious matter. At one time I may say I did not feel any straia at all. But at the time I mention it would bring on acute pain in the back, it would take away my breath to such an extent that after having been at it for some minutes I had to stop and lean up against the dray to rest and recover my breath and at the end of the day after a long round the pain in my back was so acute I would have to sit on the dray on the way home and lean forward practically doubled up so as to ease my suffering, which by this time had become almost unbeai'able." During this time of course I had tried various remedies, but they did not seem to do me any good. At last I had to give up work for three weeks, and I remained at home and consulted a doctor, who treated me skilfully. He gave me some medicine, but I did not feel the slightest benefit from it. As I found the doctor rather expensive I determined to try a chemist who had treated me before. He prescribed also, but after taking several bottles he suggested, as I was no better, that I should try a box of Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people. At this time I was so ill and had become so weltk that my friends wished me to give up my situation and start a small business and earn my livelihood jn this way." I had not, however, completed the first box of Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people when I found myself getting better. I had suffered amongst other things with a tightness and fulness after meals, which was extremely painful. This trouble disappeared altogether, and I found my appetite returning in a most remarkable manner. I therefore determined to keep on with Dr Williams' pink pills, and I took altogether about four boxes, and I am now glad to tell you that I am completely cured. I am perfectly free from the pain in the back and stomach which had been a source of so much trouble to me, and which had threatened'to make me give up my work. I have now got back my strength, and I can do a hard day's work with any man. I feel like a lion." I am quite willing to give this testimonial for publication, and you are at liberty also to publish my photograph, as I believe that when one finds a remedy for a complaint from which no doubt many suffer, it should be made as widely known as possible."

BARRY POLICE COURT.
BARRY POLICE COURT. MONDAY. Before Mr D. Davies and Mr J. Lowdon. THE TRIALS OF AN ACTIVE SERVICE MAN. Joseph Taylor, a Royal Reservist, living in Gilbert-street, Cadoxton, was placed in the dock charged with unlawfully wounding his wife, Kate Taylor, on the previous Saturday. Prosecutrix said she followed her husband into the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton, where he treated his friends. She asked him for a glass of beer, but he replied she had had enough, This she admitted was correct. While be was away she sold up the home, and they were not now living together. When. her husband refused to stand her a drink, she argued the point with him, and he struck her with his fist, throwing her against the table, which cut the back of her head.-The case having been reduced to one of common assault, Mary Sutherland, 18, Daniel-street, Cadoxton, said the prosecutrix was not struck in the face as alleged, but was only pushed aside, and she fell against the fender.— Dr Treharne, J.P., said the wound was about three inches long, but the blow given could not have been a severe one.—The Bench dismissed the case. THE QUEEN OF BARRY DRUNKARDS." Bridget Thomas, of 32, Oxford-street, Barry, charged William Martin, of Victoria-road, Barry, with assaulting her on the 5th instant. It appeared that on the 5th instant the defendant ill-used his wife, when complainant was called upon to take Mrs Martin's part, whereupon defen- dant struck her in the eye and kicked her on the shin.-Dr Kelly said there were large bruises on complainant's leg and arm, and the right eye was discoloured. -Martin said the woman Thomas was drunk, and she fell over a tree stump, causing the bruises. The complainant, he added, was the queen of Barry drunkards."—Arthur Martin, son of the defendant, said complainant was drunk in their house. Complainant caught his father by the throat first.-Case dismissed. THE EFFECT OF HALF-A-GALLON OF CIDER. Mr A. Jackson, solicitor, Barry Docks, appeared to defend Daniel Ponting, of St. George's, who was charged with being drunk and disorderly. P.C. Melhuish said he saw defendant drunk and staggering about the road. Defendant gave him some lip," and he ordered him home.—Defendant said he only had half-a-gallon of cider to drink that day.—The Bench said four pints of cider would have a bad effect upon some persons, but in this case they would give him the benefit of the doubt, and dismiss the case. AN AFFAIR BETWEEN WOMEN. L The Bench were asked to adjudicate the differences between Maud Knight and Mary Ann Boucher, both of Phyllis-street, Barry Island, between whom there was a summons and cross- summons for assault. Miss Knight stated that she was struck a severe blow on the arm.—This was corroborated by Benjamin Rees (who was described by Boucher as Miss Knight's bloke ") and Annie Williams.—Boucher alleged she also was struck by Knight. -Cases dismissed. NUMBERLESS VEHICLES. David John Jones, for not having his license number painted on his brake, was fined 5s. CHIMNEYS ON FIRE. For allowing the chimneys of their houses to be on fire, Emily Westall and John Edwards were fined Is each, and John Edwards 2s 6d. On charges of disorderly conduct, Albert Eynon (Dock View-road), George Boucher (Barry Island), and Mary Ann Boucher were summoned, the former and the latter being fined 5s each, but the case against Geo. Boucher was dismissed. DISTURBING THE PUBLIC PEACE. P.S. Ben Davies said that about eleven o'clock on the night of the 6th instant William Phillips, George Gleaves, James Lane, David Beynon, and David Vernon were creating a disturbance by shouting and singing in Barry-road and Court- road, Cadoxton, and when the police took their names they made use of threats. — Defendants were fined 2s 6d each. STRAYING HORSE AND DONKEYS. James Cooksley, for allowing a horse to stray on the highway, was fined 5s and William Gee (for a similar offence with respect to a donkey), and Con Dyke were fined 2s 6d each. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. For throwing stones on the highway, William Davies, Barry, and Ralph Jameson were fined 2s 6d each. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. A warrant was ordered to be issued for the appearance of Amelia Watts, charged with using obscene language in Daniel-street, Cadoxton, on the 6th instant; and Mary Sutherland was fined 5s or seven days for the same offence. VIOLENT WHILE IN DRINK. Thomas Carney, a rigger, was charged with being drunk and disorderly,and assaulting William Full, ticket collector, at Barry Dock Railway Station, on the 11th instant. Full said defendant came up and without any provocation struck him a violent blow in the face.-The Bench fined Carney 15s and costs, or fourteen days in default. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. A labourer named Michael Hayes was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting P.C. Savage on Saturday evening last. Defendant struck Savage about the body, and kicked him on the shins several times.—Fined 20s, or fourteen days in default. HE FELT HE OUGHT TO. P.C. 'Lovegrove, Cadoxton, charged Charles Daulby with being drunk and disorderly at 7.30 p.m. on the 6th instant in Vere-street.—Daulby's wife said her husband was at home at 5.30 asleep, and did not wake up till eleven o'clock.—Charles Collier, who was called for the prosecution, said he did not see the defendant after 5.30 on the evening in question.—-Mr Davies There seems to be a doubt in your case, and you shall have the benefit of it.—Daulby So I ought to. HOW HE SPENT HIS HOLIDAY. John White, Cadoxton, made his 39th appear- ance, being this time charged with being drunk and disorderly. -John frankly admitted this was the case. He had been given a day's holiday from the dry dock and he went and got drunk.Mr Davies (perusing White's previous convictions) You have been here off and on for the past sixteen years. How many children have you ?-White Six, sir. Mr Davies You are setting them a bad example. You will be fined 10s. THE OTHER DRUNKS. The other cases of drunkenness dealt with were those of John Gustaf and Alexander Wilson, who were fined 7s 6d each William Collins, Mary Pen- nington, Mary Ann Jones, William Howell, Thomas Collier, and Frank Watkins, who were ordered to pay 5s each for their freedom. Kate Taylor was cautioned and warrants were ordered to be issued for-the appearance of Thomas P. Logan and Mary Jane Dowey.

REMARKABLE CASE IN CARDIFF.—In another column of this issue will be found full particulars of a. most remarkable recovery of a Cardiff man, and the cure is attributed to Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people. The affair has created a lot of talk in the neighbourhood. The pills are prated by all classes of people, from the lowest to the highest in Wales, for the way in which they have cured paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism, and sciatica also all diseases arising from im- poverishment of the blood, scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs, anaemia, pale and sallow complexion, general muscular weakness, loss of appetite^ palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache, and neuralgia, early decay, all forms of female weakness and hysteria.

INCENTIVES TO VICE.
INCENTIVES TO VICE. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK \TKWS." Sir,-I address you upon a subject of the utmost gravity, a subject which has entirely outgrown public control, and now constitutes an evil which Parliament, law, or the public are powerless at present to stop, or even to check—namely, the debauching pictures and stories in the low cheap papers sold freely by news agents throughout the kingdom. To these horrors are now added the lewd pictures in mutoscopes or kalloseopes, which have grown up in our midst, and which are especially to be seen by the score on seaside esplanades, piers. or any place of holiday centre. An occasional prosecution, a rare seizure, a still rarer fine (soon recouped by holiday pennies from school treats) and the whole thing goes on more briskly than before. The whole country is now fairly gripped by all these indecent incentives to vice, and that quite openly. It seems no one's business. The religious Press is heartily taking the matter up, and is now warning school treat managers to inquire carefully beforehand, either of the local authorities or the caterers, as to whether the place to which they are taking their children is or is not infested with these scandalous shows for far better for children is a day in God's green fields than at some seaside place or holiday centre that is planted thscx with penny illustrated guides to vice. ° Against all such outrages, pictorial, literary mutoscopie, we turn primarily to Parliament* Parliament refers us to the law and the law' when appealed to. is found to rest, oddly enough, upon the amount of it which popular opinion insists upon having. Then, again, there is a line ty which these moral pirates have to steer, by law; but the steering is so accurate that all this deadly harm is being done to the nation within this line laid down by law thus is the la.w at present helpless. This position, quite apart from any religious aspect, in tearing education to shreads for here we have the Forster Acts in full swing, established at immense cost of money and anxious thought* with schools fitted elaborately with pictures and diagrams illustrating the subjects best designed to improve the mind and elavate the character of the young children of the nation, and, directly school is over, they flock out into the street, and here, facing them in the shop windows, are these shocking papers, or pictures, or else mutoscopes. Therefore, Sir, the instinct of self-preservation compels us to turn once more to our civic mother, Parliament, and implore that a Royal Commission may be granted to inquire into the whole of this immense subject, and to devise means to put an end to this new regime of vicious incentives, which, though within the line, is baffling every law of God or man.-Yours obediently, „ ROBERT P. C. CORFE. Heatjerdene, Downshire-hill, Hampstead.
THE NAVVY MISSION SOCIETY.
THE NAVVY MISSION SOCIETY. To the Editor of the" BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,-Allow us, through your widely-read paper, to appeal to the people of the Barry dis- trict in aid of the re-erection of the Navvy Mission Room formerly erected on Weston Hill, now removed to Harvey-street, Cadoxton, owing to the expiration of the lease. We make an appeal for 485 to pay for removal, erection, painting, new gas-fittings, and general repairs caused by the removal. This is the first public appeal to the general public at Barry that we have made, though we have been in the district about eight years, but the Navvy Mission Society has many heavy and urgent calls upon its funds, and feels it very difficult to meet such a heavy expense. We are therefore, trying to raise the above sum. Our own men have helped us very generously in the past, and no doubt will nobly respond again when this appeal is read, but they cannot raise the whole. Will the inhabitants of Barry and district help us ? Our men on public works have made the docks and railways, and laid the foundation for the present trade and future welfare of the town. We are issuing collecting cards, and would feel thankful for any gift. The collectors have a. printed card, and all donors are asked to read and see that it is for the Navvy Mission Room, Cadoxton. Postal orders may te made payable to W. Symes, 4. Ssa View-terrace, Cadoxton-Barry. Trusting this appeal may meet with a quick and generous response.—Believe us, yours faithfully, WALTER SYMMS, Missionary, ROBERT GRIMSTON, Secretary, On behalf of the Navvy Mission Society. 4, Sea View-terrace, Cadoxton-Barry, July 4th, 1901.

COUNCILLORS MILWARD AND O'DONNELL. To the Editor of the II BARRY DOCK NEWS." Sir, — At the general meeting of the District Council held on July 8th, Dr O'Donnell asserted that I had during my canvass at the election in March last said that £18.000 were squandered which could not be accounted for. Now if my constitu- ents can prove this to be correct, I should like them to communicate with me, as I deny absolutely ever making such statements during the election before, or since,—Yours faithfully, JNO. MILWARD. Wellfield, Cadoxton-Barry, July 16th, 1901.
BAPTIST "FORWARD MOVEMENT"…
BAPTIST "FORWARD MOVE- MENT" AT CADOXTON-BARRY. PROTEST BY THE REV. L. TON EVANS. The Committee of the Baptist Forward Move- ment met at the Tabernacle, Porth, Rhondda. Valley, on Monday evening last, presided over by the Rev W. Morris, F.R.G.S., Treorky. The dis- satisfaction of the Rev L. Ton Evans, Cadoxton- Barry, with the doings of the Society in the Barry district was the subject of a very heated discussion. The resolution of the united committee of the Forward Movement and of the English Churches to continue the work on Weston Hill, Cadoxton, was adopted unanimously.—Dr Waldo James de- livered an impassioned speech in defence of the committee of the Forward Movement, but it was evident that the Rev Ton Evans had some friends present.—It was resolved that an independent committee should be appointed to inquire into the matter.
A PINT LEMON BLANC-MANGE FREE.
A PINT LEMON BLANC-MANGE FREE. For the benefit of those who appreciate a good Blanc-Mange, we wish to make it as widely known as possible that a pint of most delicious Lemon Blanc-Mange, delicately tinted, and exquisitely flavoured with Lemon can be made from a Id. packet of "Eiffel Tower Lemon Blanc-Mange Powder. You should obtain it from your Grocer. But for those who cannot get it we may say that Messrs Foster, Clark, and Co., 1,003, "Eiffel Tower" Factory, Maidstone (who are also the makers of the celebrated Eiffel Tower Lemon- ade), are wisely sending sufficient to make a pint free on receipt of a post card-we say wisely, because those who once try it will certainly COll- tinue to use it.
