THE WELSH REVIEW.—In the May number of the 1 VrlxJi. the place of honour is given to Mr. W. Bowen Rowland's vigorous and trenchant article, Sober by Act of Parliament." The tone of the article may be judged from the concluding sentence—" We claim the aid of Parliament towards enabling the people to rescue themselves from the galling yoke of a tyranny more imperious than that of any despot, and to free themselves from a plague more desolating and destructive than the threefold ruin worked by war and pestilence and famine."—Mrs. Wynford Phillips in an article called, A Commonplace Correction Corrected," writes with force a reply to a somewhat cruel attack by Miss Ormein the last number of the Bericw on the policy of the Liberal Association of Women in endeavouring to make Women's Suffrage part of the Liberal programme. The article is full of -1 feminine amenities," such as Miss Orme, in her 'Commonplace Correction,' is more successful in being commonplace than in being correct." Some- times, however. Mrs. Phillips writes with all the vigour and none of the petty bitterness of suchlike sentences. One of the best things is her explanation of the success of the Liberal Association in Wales. The effort of women to do political service and obtain political freedom appeals in a special way to the noblest instincts and ideas of the Welsh people. The old physical force' argument, which tells us that society reposes in force, and becomes unstable when vested in those who cannot bear arms, does not mislead a people who, in the hour of deepest subjection, when they were crushed and bruised beneath a foreign yoke, were newly kindled to powerful resistance, and were inspirited to thrust back the invaders by the influence of the Sweet Singeiv' the bards, who first inspired, and then idealised, and finally im- mortalised their chieftains and who, in the nine- teenth century, have realised that whilst they have become loyal members of the great. British Empire, the moral force and spiritual effort of the people has kept their country still a nation.The, Political Notes of the Duchess of Treorky are deteriorating with each consecutive change of name.—The Notes by the member for Treorky, those by the Duchess of Kentucky were indifferent, those by the Duchess of Treorky are bad. The illustrations by Will Morgan are, however, dis- tinctly good, and are better than they ever were before.—Other articles are ¡; Payment of Members," by Mr. J. A.

Spurgeon, together with an exposition, both of which have never been before published, have been forwarded us by Messrs. Passmore and Alabaster. Both deal with the interesting scripture incident in the Book of Nehemiah recording the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, and the subject enables the celebrated pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle to deliver some original, forcible, and telling remarks on the duties of Christian people when their principles and work are assailed.

DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD. MONTHLY MEETING AT BARRY DOCK. The first monthly meeting of the Dinas Powis Highway Board ever held in the Barry district took place at the Barry Dock Police-court on Wednesday afternoon, at two o'clock. There were present:— Mr. O. H. Jones. J.P. (chairman). General Lee (vice-chairman), and Messrs. D. T. Alexander (Dinas Powis), W. Thomas (Sully), O. Williams (Hampston), D. N. Savours (Rhoose), Oliver Thomas (Wenvoe), John Thomas (Michaelstone), J. Savours (Penmark), J. Morris (clerk), F. Laurens (surveyor), and E. R. Lewis (retiring surveyor). After the minutes of the previous meeting had been confirmed, the Chairman said he thought they ought to borrow another A 200 for the purpose of the Waycock-road work. They had only borrowed £ !K)0, the contract money was £ 1,075, and the sum of k950 had already been paid then there were additional expenses.—Mr. O. Williams said they ought to borrow money for the Wenvoe siding road as well. It was eventually decided to borrow £ 300 altogether. It was decided, on the suggestion of the Chairman, to defer the purchase of a steam road-roller for the present. In reference to the claims for extras on the part of the Waycock-road contractor, a letter was read from Mr. Phillips, solicitor, Aberdare, requesting the payment of the extras or asking them to accept service of a writ. — Mr. D. T. Alexander: Accept service of a writ by all means.—It was decided to do so, the Chairman remarking that if the contractor's action were persisted in. the Board might have to consider the advisability of prosecuting a counter claim. A letter was read from Mr. R. Forrest complain- ing that the Board had not fenced off a portion of land near the Waycock-road, near the Wenvoe estate, as they promised to do, and as they had said they had done.-The Chairman Has it not been fenced.—Mr. E. R. Lewis No. it has not.—Mr. O. Williams Isn't the contractor supposed to do it ? —Mr. Lewis Yes.-The Chairman suggested that the Board should do the work and charge the con. tractor with the cost,—This was agreed to. The following bills were passed :-Waycock-road contract, £ 50 General Lee, royalties on stone, £ 3 2s.; Mr. T. J. Lewis, ditto, £2 2s. 8d. A letter was read from Mr. Morel suggesting that the Board should repair the old road near his house at St. Andrew's and extend it. He would be prepared to contribute to the cost, if the work were at once proceeded with.—The Surveyor (Mr. Laurens) was deputed to prepare plans and estimates, after which it will be decided whether to carry out the work or not. Correspondence was read between the clerk of the County Council and the surveyor in reference to the maintenance of the Eastbrook-road. The County Council have only paid half the amount they promised, because they maintained that the late surveyor had not kept the road in a satisfactory state of repair. The newly-appointed Surveyor's first report was read, and it gave much satisfaction to the members. It stated that he had been round the various parishes. Having received letters from the Council in reference to the Eastbrook-road he was having that road put in a proper state of repair. Some of the coping in the stone wall in the Eastbrook- road had been knocked off. A notice board had been placed up as a guard against similar offences. It might be necessary in the course of the month to remove the loose stones on the roads.-Several recommendations as to instructions to roadmen, printing of time sheets, the purchase of tools, &.c. were agreed to.—General Lee expressed the hope that in future the wages of the roadmen would be paid weekly if possible. (Hear, hear.) A cheque of £50 for expenses during the coming month was passed to the surveyor. The retiring surveyor made a complaint against a Penmark roadman of not having been working regularly during the past month, and stated that he had not paid him his full wage in consequence. —It was decided to give the roadman an oppor- tunity of explaining by asking him to be present at the next meeting of the Board.—It was decided to pay a cheque of £17 10s. to the Waycock-road contractor. The Surveyor was deputed to prepare plans and estimates for the widening of the Wenvoe siding road.—The retiring surveyor was requested to hand over all plans, documents, &c., to the new surveyor. This was the principal business.

YSTRAD LOCAL BOARD. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the above Board was held on Friday last, when Mr. W. H. Mathias was voted to the chair pro tern. There were also pre- sent Messrs. W. Jenkins. Jacob Ray, D. Davies, J. D. Williams, E. W. Lewis, W. H. Lax, Thomas Griffiths, D. Morgan, W. Davies. Mr. W. H. MATHIAS said that their first duty was to appoint a chairman for the ensuing year. They certainly could not do better than re-appoint their old chairman. They had some very heavy work in hand, such as the sewerage scheme, and subsidiary drainage, and it would be well to have a gentleman in the chair for the ensuing year well versed in the sanitary affairs of the district. He had much pleasure in proposing Mr. W. Jenkins. Mr. THOMAS GRIFFITHS seconded, and fully en- dorsed the remarks of Mr. Mathias. Mr. Jenkins was unanimously elected. Mr. JENKINS thanked the Board for electing him chairman for the ensuing year, and in doing so he could only promise to do his best in connection with all matters that came before the Board.

A communication was received from the Ystrad Gas and Water Company in reply to a letter sent from the Board some time ago, complaining of the water supply of the district. The communication stated that the Gas and Water Company were doing all they could to push on the new reservoir at Tynywain, and in view of the dry weather which had prevailed recently the domestic supply had been well sustained.. The CHAIRMAN took it that an allegation had been made by the Board to the contrary. Mr. JACOB RAY said that the water was cut off from six in the evening to six in the morning. The CHAIRMAN thought that six o'clock was most inconvenient. Mr. D. MORGAN remarked that this was the busiest water time of the day, because it was during these hours that the colliers washed after coming home from work. On the motion of Mr. J. DAVIES, it was resolved that the Clerk be instructed to write to the Gas and Water Company and state what the facts really were. THE WORK OF THE BOARD. A member of the board proposed that they have a monthly report, dealing with the progress that was being made in connection with the work of the board. He did not see why their surveyor should not be kept up to the scratch, in order that they, as a board, may be posted up monthly in all their work. He did not see why they should not have it; he found that everybody else kept up their record. The CHAIRMAN said that they would have the surveyor himself in the room presently, and they could bring the matter on then. The matter then dropped. THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL. Mr. THOMAS GRIFFITHS said that he should like to have some information prepared against the next meeting of the Board by the Clerk as to what extent this hospital had been utilized. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The SURVEYOR of the Board—Mr. W. H. Jones -read his fortnightly report, and pointed out that the subsidiary drainage scheme and the sewerage work was proceeding satisfactorily.

YSTRAD POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Mr. Ignatius Williams, and Alderman W. Morgan. FIGHTING.—John Northey and John Hutchings, two notorious fighting characters, were charged with fighting inside the bar of a public-house at Caerphilly on the 28th of last month.—Police-con- stable Lewis said that both defendants were stripped to the waist, and having a regular fight, and the landlord being afraid to interfere sent for the police.—Northey was'sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, and Hutchings six weeks hard labour. NON-MAINTENANCE.—Mary Thomas, summoned John Thomas, Penygraig, her husband, for non- maintenance. The case was a most amusing one, the defendant impersonating the Philadelphia lawyer to a nicety. He first of all produced an innumerable number of papers, and declared amidst loud laughter that he meant to have justice at any price. In the first place the summons was illegal, and he wished his wife to understand and to realise the great responsibility which was being placed upon her by the taking of the oath. Now he would ask her one question, he said. and it was this, Have you not refused to live with me?" "Yes. I have," was the reply. Well then, that settles the job," confidently retorted the defendant.—The Bench remarked that as the defendant had made a bona-fide offer to come back to her, they were powerless to muke an order.' RAPE CASK.—Clara Thomas, a widow, living at Gilfachgoch, charged William Jones with inde- cently assaulting her while crossing the mountain from Penrhiwfer to Gilfach Goch. She saw two men coming behind her, and she sat down by the first telegraph post, and the two men passed by. There wern two paths, and the two men separated. The defendant then laid down, and she passed him, and he made improper overtures to her. and put his hand on her mouth and she scratched his face. He then threw her down and committed the assault. He kept her on the ground for about an hour and three quarters altogether.—Police- constable Smith said that he did not arrest the defendant on the night in question, as he was very ill, but he did so the first thing next morning. He saw him then, and charged him with the assault. The prisoner made no answer to the charge. He also charged him with abusing her and with stealing a purse, but he made no answer to the charge.-Defendant, who was sworn, said that complainant was a consenting party, and she took payment from him.-Defendant was bailed out in two sureties of A 50 each to appear at the next Assizes. WASTING WATER.—Charles Stoke and Esther Farthing were charged with unlawfully taking water, alleged to have belonged to the Ystrad Gas and Water Company.—Sergeant Hoyle deposed to having seen Stoke carrying two vessels of water from an adjacent house, which he said Mrs. Farthing had supplied him with.-Both defendants were fined Is. and costs.

ATHLETIC SPORTS AT PONTYPRIDD. On Monday last (Mabon's Day} the People's Park, Pontypridd, was re-opened under entirely new management, when an excellent and varied programme of sports was gone through. Despite the frequent showers of rain which fell during the day, the park was well patronised, it being estimated that betweeen 1.800 and 2,000 were admitted. Messrs. Edmund Williams, Thomas Edwards, and John Thomas (auctioneer) performed the duties of judges, whilst Mr. J. Concannon acted as starter, and Mr. E. Parry Thomas most efficiently carried out his arduous duties as secretary. The following were the events 120 Yards Novice.-lst, W.

THE PONTYPRIDD FIRE BRIGADE. The first annual report of the Pontypridd Fire Brigade has just been issued, and appears to be most satisfactory to all concerned. It was thought desirable in 1890 to consider the advisability of forming a Fire Brigade for the town, and for that purpose a meeting was held, when the matter was fully discussed, and it was resolved to approach the Local Board for support; members were enrolled, and officers appointed pro felll., and a deputation waited upon the Board, who passed the following resolution :—"That the newly-formed brigade drill for three months, using the appliances be- longing to the Local Board, and, at the end of that time, the brigade should be examined by an experienced officer. and if the result be satisfactory, the work of dealing with fires shall in future be undertaken by the brigade. Consequently, on the expiration of the 3 months' drill, Mr. li. Haynes, of Newport, inspected the men, and. the report being satisfac- tory, the brigade's services were accepted by the Board. Permanent oilicers were then appointed, and their names submitted for approval to the Local Board. Tenders were advertised for uni- forms and for the fixing of electric bells in the firemen's houses. In order to cover this expense the public were asked to subscribe, and did so in a very handsome manner. Had not this been done, it would have been impossible to obtain uniforms and bells, both of which are very necessary to make a brigade really useful. The Local Board also decided to give £ 12 annually towards the expenses. The brigade soon found that the appliances then in use were altogether inadequate to deal with any largo fire, or with two fires at the same time, and a new hose cart. 800 feet of hose, with patent couplings and sundry other appliances, were purchased by the Board for the use of the brigade. It is well to note that the attendances at the drills, meetings, and fires have been very satisfactory, the police-station yard and the Market Hall having been placed at the disposal of the brigade for this purpose. Several of the firemen have attended ambulance classes, and have obtained certificates. All members are insured against accident, whilst at drill and fires, for £100 in case of death, or 15s. per week in case of injury. Although dur- ing the past year no serious fires have occurred, the few times the brigade has been called the men have responded quickly and well. The total loss on all fires was about £ 40. whereas the estimated risk amounted to £12,700: We are sorry to state that the present fire station is not large enough, and is in a bad position, and as it is found impos- sible to keep the place dry, it is feared that the gear, especially the canvas, will suffer considerably from the damp. An alarm of fire at Porth was given at the Police Station on Christmas Eve, but it was discovered to be a hoax, and steps are being taken to prosecute the individual who gave information at the station, and the com- mittee desire to point out to the public the danger of giving a false alarm. Should such a thing occur again no effort will be spared to punish the offender and recover full expenses. The total amount subscribed last year was £61 7s., whereas the expenses amounted to £ 194 9s. Id., and it is hoped that, in the interest of the town and dis- trict, the inhabitants of Pontypridd will rally around their gallant fire brigade, and prove, by so doing, that the value of those who risk their live! in a good cause is duly appreciated. The brigade are anxious to wipe off the adverse balance, and, whilst thanking the public f"r past favours, con- fidently appeal for that sympathy and support their efforts deserve. Subscriptions may be sent to Mr. W. Merchant, National Bank of Wales (the treasurer), or to the secretary, Mr. E. W. Rees. Fronoleu.

rp O N T I N E ASSURANCE. THE great obstacle to the universal adoption of Life Assurance amongst salaried officials is the fact that in most offices premiums remain payable during the whole period of life, long after the productive years have passed, thus becoming a serious burden, whilst, at the lame time, the surrender value are so entirely disproportionate to the amount paid as premium that payment can only be discontinued at very serious loss. For instance, persons who are entitled to retire with pensions from their employment constantly find them- selves obliged to remain at their posts, being otherwise unable to provide from their lessened income the necessary sum for the maintenance of their whole life policies. These obstacles are overcome by the Tontine Policies issued at ordinary life rates by the EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCH SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES. The Society's Policies, with Twenty Year Tontine Periods now maturing, shew (after furnishing protec- tion for twenty years) a return in every case of more than the total amount paid in premiums. All Twenty Year Endowments show a return of the premium paid, with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per cent. per annum.

ScHALIBERS, rjlELSGRAPH gTREET, Y ONDON, E.C. 1.¡;TE have- the pleasure of calling atten- V V tion to our "Fortnightly Syndicates" (Limited), for dealing in Stocks and Shares on the Combination System, and which, «ncc their inaugura- tion but year, have proved a source of coiisiaeiable profit to our regular Subscribers. Departing from the ordinary method invariably adopted by the Sj'nuicate Agents, we find it more con- ducive to business, and much more satisfactory to Subscribers, to aiTord them ,111, and every information as to the extent of the respective Syndicates, and the amount of Stosk dealt in, reserving to ourselves the privilege selecting, as occasion may offer, the Stocks to bo operated in, and of closing the same at such moment as our judgment may suggest to be the most opportune for securing profits. We would point out that we have no fixed price for Syndicate Shares, inasmuch as each Syndicate is com- posed of varying subscriptions the Subscribers thus occupy the same relative position, as profits are divided in proportion to the sums individually invested, our own charge of ona-eight commission on Stocks opened being first deducted. Our Syndicates are formed on the 1st and 15th of ea.ch month, in subscriptions of from £ 2 to £ 80, the minimum sum affording clients the opportunity of testing our .vsteiu with a very moderate outlay. A Syndicate once formed, we lose no time in opera- ting and immediately a Iviee each Subscriber of the current amount being dealt with, and the actual quantity of Stock o;)ened, thus approximating to each Member the exact amount of Stock covered by his subscription, and on which his profit: are calculated, no Subscriber being, in allY case, liable for more than, the sum he actually 8ubBcrJJe8. Each Syndicate rarely extends over more than a. week or ten days, thus avoiding carrying over ex- penses, which can only accrue in the event of a Syndi eate heing exceptionally kept open for any special reasons. On the closing of Stocks, Subscibers receive due notification, and cheques are promptly dispaiohed to each for his pro rata share of profits aided to the amount of his orignal subscription. This system of doing business has met with the dis- tinct approval of our clients, and, owing t;) the advan- tages it aiiords them, has tendered considerably to increase our connection. So fur we have no reason to be dissatisfied with the result of our oper;1.timl8, seventeen out of nineteen Syndicates having realised handi3o:.ue returns equal to mtt ••! average profit of over 58 per cent, for each Syndicate, and viewing the difficulty attendant on successful Stock Exchange speculation, these results, 0'0 are, we consider, highly satisfactory. We de not attempt to emulate various advertising Syndicate agents in making impossible profits out of abnormally small sums, nor do we subscribe to the equally absurd proposition of guaranteeing clients against loss. We bring to bear on our business, upwards of ten years practical experience of the Stock Markets, and wo do our best to further our Clients interests. The Syndicate operations are always protected by a fair margi.:1, and while we are content with reasonable profits in the event of adverse market movements, losses are curtailed a6 far as possible.
