AUNT MARIA'S DIARY
AUNT MARIA'S DIARY OF THE DOINGS ROUND THE TQWNS. .I- I sometimes go for a walk on Cadoxton Common, and in spite of all the Commoners say I maintain that I have a right to do what I like there. The dear little misses in the building close, by also think the same, and I noticed last week two of them were enjoying the sunshine with a male teacher between them. How they were walking I could scarcely see, but I heard it suggested that there was a link of love. But is not there an old.sayiag that "twois company three is none ?" r- An im)pertinent young man has written to ask whether I was seen walking down Weston Hill on Sunday morning last with a coal scuttle upon my head. He says he feels sure that it was myself, but I repudiate such a suggestion. I do not belong to any Army. I had a good laugh the other day about two la.dy friends. Of course, as you know, the Star can always give the other party a doing when it chooses, and it was published a little earlier than usual recently. Two ladies heard the machines running as they passed the Star office, and drew lots as to who should face the printer's devil, and purchase a eopy. The one who lost the toss came in through the door and asked if Aunt Maria -would spare her a copy of the Star. Upon being' supplied with the same she rejoined her friend, and they proceeded up the street reading the Star. Both were anxious to see what was in it, and in order to read it the better one placed her arm around the other's waist, and I am told that all the assistants and bank clerks in Vere-street were nearly off their heads in consequence. Of course they blamed the Star. Who is the owner of the champion fighting- dog in the Barry district ? Is he a minister ? Oh, what did you do with that bun ?" asked a lady at a tea en Good Friday of one of her many admirers at the tea table. Did she think he had put it in his coat-tail pocket, and then sat down upon it. There were plenty of buns for sale on Good Friday, but I must say that many of them were old uns." Has there been an increased tax lately imposed on currants ? or has the supply fallen short of the demand ? I have to call to account once again that young elerk who will persist in whistling after girls. If he does not leave off now I shall send a note to Holton Schaol, and ask one of the lady teachers to speak to him upon the subject.. v Weary, worn, and sad" was an ardent bicyclist as he dismounted from his machine at the bottom of Weston Hill on Good Friday. He had ridden about three miles, but he told" some- one that he had just returned from Cardiff. He is but young yet. and must know that there are people in the world who do not believe all they are told. He had got into such an awful mess through a couple of dusters that he was obliged to say something. How exceedingly handy are bags when used for making collections, but hats are very deceptive. If you can only put in a halfpenny, no one knows any better if a bag is used. At a meeting recently held at Barry a hat was placed at the door, to defray expenses," and as a gentleman passed out he proceed 3d to put something into that article, but whether he did not measure the distance properly or nor I cannot say, but, at all events, the proffered coin fell to the ground with a very coppery ring. However, the cause benefited by the accident, as an addition was promptly made to the first coin. It is exceedingly awKward when such accidents happen if a lady is with you, as people around usually laugh. ■is There is an old saying that you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink. There is a owner of horses in Cadoxton who says that you can get a horse into a ditch on the Moors, but you cannot easily get him out. ■* Last week I was on the Moors, and saw a horse in a ditch, and so difficult was the situation that the owner was compelled to use another horse to pull the unfortunate animal out. Weston Hill is steep, if nothing' else, and on Saturday last it proved a bit too much for two horses attached to a heavy furniture van. The team remained standing with the load on the hill for a couple of hours during the afternoon, and at last, by the united strength of two other horses, the van was taken to the top of the hill. ± Is it true that a lodger and his landlady did a moonlight flight from the neighbourhood of Barry- road last week I am told that the young man was seen carrying a box on his shoulders, while the landlady ran on in front. Two young ladies have conspired to send me a letter without their name or address. If I re- ceive such a communication I shall know what to do with it. I am asked when does the Local Board propose taking ever the water supply, and the person who asks the question asserts that the water is getting more hard than ever. Mr. Arthur J. Williams, M.P., is of opinion that a dissolution of Parliament is a long way off. A 1 One of my relatives tells me that some of the J teachers of our schools are more fond of the teas i than the business meetings of their Association, ] thus they do not turn up in time for the meeting, i on j for the tea. Can this be true s Mr. Richard Evans, the General Manager of the Barry Railway Company, makes a splendid chair- man. His presidency at the Good Friday concert was indeed a good one. It plainly showed that he would be a great acqui- sition to the district as a public man. I hear that one of the songs sang at the Good Friday's concert was about a Maria's nose." There is no truth in the rumour that it was my nose that singer was referring to. I never had a pimple on my nose. £ It seems to me that Mr. D. T. Alexander is not only a successful business man, but that he is a successful match-maker. He interests himself more especially in railway men. A gentleman, not unconnected with local public affairs, is said to have fallen a victim of Cupid's darts, and that in a short time he will lead the abject of his affection to the hymenal altar. Who are the three Cadoxton misses, who. on Good Friday, persuaded some middies to take them aboard, and treat them to tea ? A special meeting of the Finance Committee will be held on this (Friday) afternoon to consider the applications of the candidates for the post of Local Board collector. The applicants are now very numerous. Why allow your spirits to be low when you can have them raised at the County Drug Company's Establishment, Holton-road (next door to the Globe Furnishing Company), Barry Dock. The Barry and Cadoxton Histrionic Society have arranged to give a performance of Withered Leaves and Sudden Thoughts at the Cadoxton Theatre on the 19 th inst. If you wish to secure a seat you had better book it at once. I notice that Maj or-General Lee and Mr. A. Seig (Barry) attended the School Attendance Officers' Association at Cardiff this week. I trust they will now be good boys, and not play truant. =P Who is the young man from Hunter-street who has three sweethearts-one in Penarth anditwo in Cadoxton ? £ Well, I think this takes the cake. On Wednes- day a letter was received at the Star Office ad- dressed as follows :— "South Wales Star" Vere-street, Cadoxton. Centre of the Earth. I don't know whether it is in the centre of the earth, but I know that the Star Office is in the centre of industry and as all circles must have a centre, you cannot do better than start at once and ¡ advertise from this one. # Mr. T. Higman has attended the Teachers' Con- ference at Liverpool this week. My church-going friends held a large demon- stration at Cardiff against the Welsh Church Suspensory, and among those who were present I noticed the following names :—General Lee, Mr. D. T. Alexander, Canon Edwards, Canon Allen, Mr. G. Thomas, Mr. F. W. Edwards, and Mr. F. C. Williams. The grand Concert to be held at the Public-hall Thompson-street, Barry Dock, on the 15th inst. promises to be a grand affair. The Penarth Temperance Handbell Ringers have provided a capital entertainment, and there is every prospect of success. A splendid programme is being pre- pared. ° Who was the owner of that magnificent speci- men of a living curiosity that was on exhibiton at the bazaar at Cadoxton on Monday last ? If I am any judge I should say that it had had more half- pence than kicks. 01: '/The cuckoo was heard last week at St. Nicholas. One of my nephews informs me, in confidence, that that is not the only cuckoo at St. Nicholas. There are others—but there, I had better not say too much. One of my nephews tells me that Mr. J. E. Jones, chemist, of Holton-road, selling a Couo-h Elixir which will relieve the most obstinate and irritating coughs. A meeting of the shareholders of the Barry and Cadoxton Water Company is to be held in Cardiff on the 17th inst. for the purpose of considering the Local Board's proposed purchase. ° ❖ F I am informed that the following is an extract from the rules of the dancing class in this locality :— In the case of Members being indisposed in any way there cases will be left to the com- mittee. Tickits to be had of the —— only. To help on novices in there dancing. Using obscense language Members not keeping to there own sets while waltzing not to interefere or disturb others. The M.C. respect if nlly requests, &c. One of our local solicitors has cultivated a beard. Is it to hide his blushing face ü The Religious Editor would be glad to know the name and address of the kind individual who forwards him such a nice number of tracts. .? Westall's bread is said to be the best in the district. It is made in Lower Main-street, and sold at about eleven different shops. Should old acquaintance be forgot!" Certainly not. Then patronize the conversazione to be held at the Mission Reom, Iddesleigh-street, on Monday next. The proceeds will be devoted to a fund which is being raised to present the Rev. Mr. Couch with a testimonial on his departure from the district. I am told that the meeting of the Federated Chamber of Trade at Barry on June 9th will be a grand affair. Is it true that a cat show is being arranged to be held at Barry Dock ? I have a good Old Tom ready for first prize. A friend of mine was caricatured at the Theatre Royal, Cadoxton, on Saturday last, but the artist was too funnry." > > Miss Vera Rosini who sang so sweetly at the Theatre last week is said to be the wife of the lessee and manager, Mr. Leigh. On Good Friday I was at the Island with a party of friends, and I saw many things that I think it is necessary I should enter in my diary. On my way I noticed a very small boy labouring under a very big basket of buns. But I cm assure my readers that his load grew smaller by degrees and beautifully less as he journeyed. He had plenty of well-wishers in the shape of other boyj, who not only assisted him to carry the load, but also to lighten it. I am sure that the Island could easily be made a thing of beauty and joy for ever if those who have the carrying out of the necessary work would start about it. •Js I feel certain that the young couples in the neighbourhood are unanimous as to its good qualities for secret-telling. Mr. Belcher, of Cardiff, is developing into quite an authority on parochial matters. That young man in Hunter-street, I am told, is very anxious to know how I found out about his being locked out. The Religious Editor says never mind how it got about, so long as publicity was the result of mending that young man's ways. # A friend on Thursday last offered, over a cup of tea, to give me the certain tip as to who will win the Local Board. Personally I do not like to prophecy until I know. Did the Welsh Glee Party sing the Bells of St. Michael's Tower" at the concert on the 29th ult? One party said they did, but if they had only kept their report back until the whole affair was over they would have known better. I am a lover of fair play, and I should like to talk to those boys who at the Market Hall, Cadox- ton, on the occasion of the Disestablishment meet- ing, told a parson to get his hair cut. "Dear Aunt Maria," writes a young lady from Barry, will you please ask that body of young fellows from Barry Dock to respect females in the future, and not insult them as they pass along Holton-road. You will know the ringleader by the colour of his hair. Please don't go too close, or he may set you on fire. There is nothing like ginger." How awkward During the holidays I paid a visit to Cardiff, and whilst there I noticed in a I photographer's shop the portraits of a Barry Dock couple, who now never speak as they pass by. But they looked very nice together in that photo. ;¡: I am told that there are no people in the district to beat some of the Barry Dock women for gossip- ing over the garden wall. But they quarrel some- times, and last week when a couple in Graving Dock-street fell out all the others heard of their good qualities. There is a tall young lady residing in the Barry- road also thinks no one can make up to a gentle- man like herself. Well, if length goes for any- thing, I agree with her. 'f: Now the dancing season is at an end I am told that several young ladies have returned to their books. Perhaps an examination is close at hand. Who was that lady who on Saturday last expected such a nice present, but only got a piece of paper with two words written upon it ? How glorious. The summer is said to be coming because the skylarks are flying over the fields. Per- haps they follow the roads in the winter. I understand that Mr. J. D. Davies, who is well known in the district, is a candidate for the posi- tion of rate-collector. The new Cemetery chapel is to be opened on the 23rd inst. It is developing into a very nice place. 5? Lady Windsor lays the foundation stone of the new Deep Water Lock to-day (Friday). # The counting of the voting papers for the Local Board election will commence at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday, and the result will be known about noon. ;I: DINAS POWIS. A friend of mine was taking a walk in Leckwith Woods, when on the breeze he heard borne the words, Oh, you treacherous one I will be revenged." When he got up to the place, and enquired the cause, he was met with the words, "I beg pardon, sir, I was only practising to become an orator." That is all very well, but such aspiring geniuses should be more careful. Some of my friends are always about. & What is the matter with Mrs. G- nieces ?' you ask. I am sure, I don't know they are very much down in the dumps, and I heard Mrs. G-- say to Coz B, What on earth has come across our family 2" Look out! Look out! here comes Aunt Maria's nephew. Who is the lady that called at a certain house soliciting an ordfer for Hot Cross Buns, but was afraid to go inside for fear the two bachelors there would pop the question. ■, The members of the C.M.C. Choir are earnestly rehearsing the programme of the Musical Festival which is to be held at Cadoxton April 19th, and, under their efficient conductor, are making rapid progress. I am glad to hear that our nightingales Lave thrown in their lot with the choir of Mr. Jacob Davies, Cardiff, which is to compete at the National Eisteddfod, Pontypridd. A certain young lady from G- paid a visit to Dinas Powis, and stayed a short time there. A letter was addressed to her, but it seems that it was mis-directed. I was sorry for her, as I am told she was troubled as to its safety and it also caused her inconvenience, she having to travel a mile or so, and was then questioned by a local postmaster with regard to the address before she procured it. She then found it came from her Moral—Should the above meet his eye I hope he will take the lesson to heart, and be more careful in future. i< I hear our insurance agent has gone into partner- ship with our baker. All are invited to consult the two brothess about the necessaries of life and death. it I am waiting to see some start made towards getting up a choir to compete at Cadoxton on April the 22nd. The choir leaders are slow, and if they don't alter their ways I'll have to tell them what I think. ir That young gentleman who was in the company of a young lady last week wa.s heard to say that he was never out later than half-past nine. I daresay he will not try and cram" such a story on her again, as the answer he received-was, "You can go in the house to-night at half-past nine." Men are deceivers ever." X sk How beautiful are the strains of music borne upon the night breezes, from the bells of St. Andrews. Ahem. It is Easter you know. and we also expect too hear them ring, Change the Dimes." At the recent Football Club Concert the Dinas Powis inhabitants, as you all know, were treated with a variety of music, and the song which has left an impression on the minds of the rising generation is Climbing up the Golden Stairs." It is continually ringing in my ears. But what will be the moral condition of them in the future I cannot say, My hopes are sad." Where is the inspector of nuisance for Dinas Powis ? I was under the impression that the sanitary authorities were taking all possible pre- cautions against cholera and other epidemic diseases, but seemingly they have overlooked a most abominable nuisance on the hill from the village down to the Mill Brook. I have been informed that the Reading-room was closed last week. It has been the means of bring- ing together the young men of the village, whose conversation has been made up of interesting items. The room is small, when compared with the number of members, and it has been "crammed" very, very much. I hope the mem- bers will take upon themselves the duty of having an ideal Reading-room, and not a mock one. ❖ Father Ignatius paid a visit to St. Andrew's Church the week before last. Oh! have you heard the news ? What ? Why, our affable rate-collector is going to leave the village Fact for you. And I hear that the Postmaster is going to establish the Post-office there. A nautical correspondent writes as follows :— It being Palm Sunday and a nice day, a feeling for a good walk took possession of me. Whilst squaring my yards and thinking which course to pursue, a. gale sprang up and carried me into new waters consequently, I found myself landed at that most picturesque old church at St. Andrew's. It was a. most pleasing sight to see the numerous friends of the departed ones among the floral tombs listening to the beautiful strains of music borne on the winds from the ancient Bishop's Chair. V There is an old but true saying that A faint heart never won a fair lady." This should be re- membered by a young man not very far from Llan- dough Village who keeps in the background and gives pence to the children for conveying his verbal messages, much to the amusement of the fair one., A great inconvenience which ought to be re- moved is caused to the public at Eastbrook by the wooden structure over the Barry Line. When- ever a person in charge of a vehicle desires to cross over he has to leave the horse standing on the highway while he climbs this constitution bridge to procure the keys wherewith to open the gates. Those persons who have the contract for re- moving refuse from villages ought to be possessed of common-sense. I am told that one actually leaves the cart in a yard, which is situated in the centre of the village. Surely, this is encouraging cholera and fever. Nothing like technical education, sir." said a lady friend to a gentleman recently. Well, I am sure I can't see the good of it when I learn that there is a lady at Dinas Powis, who, I should think, must have derived a knowledge of a very palatable ingredient in the way of mint sauce with beef. I wonder whether she attends the cookery class. x A favourable place for spooning Where ? Why on)the waters at Penarth Beach. But you should not forget that the boatman is there also. Who was that young lady seen riding up from the Beach on a donkey on last Good Friday. I am sure she was not aware that Aunt Maria's Nephews saw her 01 she would have had cause to blush. even more than she did. Yes, I should think the present landlord of a certain pub has got a contract to redeem some of the cleanliness that used to belong to the house out of so much filth that has been created and left behind by the retiring landlord. Some people are very careless as to the insulting way they approach the dignity of others. Only the other day a country joskin pull up his horse and trap at a certain place, and with no small authority, asked our worthy major to look after the same. What was the result ? I Who is the young man that thinks he has an eye for business in the way of match-making, he, how- ever. calculated without reckoning with his host, when he tried to induce a certain marriageable widow lady to inspect a new building where he was at work for she with a quick perception of her sex, could see through the miserable paint- wash a widower brother in the back ground an object of the painter's catch. MICHAELSTONE-LE-PIT. A friend of mine was walking in the neighbour- hood of Michaelstone-le-Pit at the latter part of last week, and during his rambles picked up several interesting items. He has sent them on to me, and he assures me that if I have any doubt as to the fact of his being in that locality I have only to consult one of the mistresses under the Barry School Board and her young man (also a teacher) in order to confirm a statement that he was there. They were there also, but he does not like to say anything further as he disapproves of telling tales out of school. The world will 'soon become depopulated if there are many districts like Michaelstone-le-Pit. I am told that during the year 1892 there was only one child born in the parish, and I should imagine that it was, for the time being, looked up as a nine days' wonder. Whether the villagers objected to that sort of thing or not I am not told, but I believe that the matter has since left the locality, and resides with her babe at Eastbrook. ,¡, It is a notorious fact that the people of the above parish are for the greater part either elderly persons or young children. There are few middle- aged people in the district. In addition to there not being any new comers into the parish I am told that there is not a pub in the rounds. Everyonetmakes their own I gingerbeer. The Church at Miehaelstone-le.Pit is very picturesque, and will accommodate about 70 persons. This is a very fair per centre when it is remembered that the. population numbers about 100. But there is no dissenting place of worship. Where do those who do not attend church go to on Sundays ? I should like to know as there are some Dissenters about. The Rous family is to Michaelstone-Ie-Pit what the Jenner family is to Wenvoe, and in the old chureh many tablets speak of those who have departed. The Rous family are of Cornish origin, and in many ways, military not excepted, have left behind a name. WENVOE. I am informed that Mr. J. Cory has promised to give a -first prize of F,3 3a. at the forthcoming colt and yearling show to be held in the Wenvoe dis- trict. The animals exhibited must be the property of tenant farmers within the limits of .the Cardiff Union. Who is the lady who has recently complained that the stones placed upon the roads in the parish of Wenvoe are too large ? Is she any relation to the gentleman who had a special extra size cart made when he agreed to purchase stones from a local quarry at so much per load ? I I am pleased to find that Mrs. Jenkins, the wife of the very sociable landlord of the Wenvoe Arms, Wenvoe, it now canvalescent, and that Mr. John, of Lydmore, who recently poisoned his hand, is rapidly recovering. When will the new Post-office at Wenvoe be opened ? All the young ladies of the district are awaiting this event. X Mr. W. W. Nell and Mr. Noah Jenkins are churchwardens for the parish of Wenvoe. m
SUB-MARINE MINERS' BALL AT…
SUB-MARINE MINERS' BALL AT CARDIFF. The fifth annual ball given by the non-com- missioned officers of the Severn Volunteer Divi- sion Royal Engineers (Submarine Mariners) was held in the assembly-room of the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening. Invitations had been extended to the rifles, artillery, and other branches of the Volunteer service, and each was fairly well represented, there being a company of about 140 or 150 present. Amongst the officers who attended were Major A. Thornley, Capt. Geo. D. Thornley, Lieut. J. A. Hughes, Lieut. W. H. D. Caple, Lieut. F. C. Lloyd, Q.-M-Sergt. Newman, and Sergt.-Instructor J. A. Johnston. Ample and efficient arrangements had been made for the function by the committee, which com- prised Bandmaster J. Matthews, Quartermaster- Sergeant Dobbs, Company Sergeant-Majors F. Faulkner, Preston, and J. Edwing, Sergeants T. Pantall, D. W. Jones, H. Robinson, Corporal G. N. James, and Lance-Corporal P. Tregenza a very heavy proportion of the duties falling upon the hon. secretaries, Company-Sergeant-Major S. A. Milner and Corporal J. H. Phillips, who discharged them faithfully and satisfactorily to all concerned. The irksome duties of masters of ceremony were appreciatively performed by Company-Sergeant-Major E. J. Sawyer, Bugle-Major J. Davies, Sergeant E. T. Williams, and Corporal T. Llewellyn. The assembly- hall was very appropriately decorated with flags and bannerettes of varied hues and interesting military designs, and this, together with the brilliant uniforms of the officers and men, relieved somewhat by the milder tones of the ladies' attire, made up, when the dancing commenced, a picture artistic and entrancing. Dancing commenced shortly after nine o'clock to the strains of Messrs. Johnson and Roberts' string band, and continued till an early hour in the morning. It may be added that the proceeds will be devoted to the aid of local charities.
BARRY DOCK POLICE COURT.
BARRY DOCK POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY.—Before Mr. T. R. Thompson and Mr. LI. Wood. LOCAL FARMERS AT VARIANCE. David Rees, of White Farm, Merthyrdovan, summoned Abel Grey, cattle dealer, of Cadoxton. for illegally letting loose cattle froja a pound, belonging to prosecutor. It appears that some cattle belonging to Grey, strayed from defendant's land on to prosecutor's pasture lands. Prosecutor impounded them, and the defendant the next day came and took them way illegally, without paying for them, Defendant was fined £ 1 and costs, or seven days. HUSBAND, WIFE, AND LODGER AT BARRY DOCK. Sarah Thomas summoned Samuel Thomas, her husband, a coal trimmer, for assaulting her on the 29th ult. Prosecutrix said she was defendant's wife, and lived with him at Regent-street. On the 29th ult. he assaulted her in the house at 10.30 in the even- ing. He had gone to bed, and came down to the kitchen, assaulting her with his fist on the nose. He had been drinking. Her brother was in the back kitchen, and rushed in to protect her. Her husband was a quiet man when sober, but when drunk he acted like a lunatic. Defendant said he was the landlord of the house, but his wife's brother had treated him most shame- fully. It was hard lines to be knocked about in his own house by a lodger. Defendant was fined 5s. and costs, or seven days' imprisonment. NEIGHBOURS' SQUABBLES AT BARRY DOCK. Jane Rowe, Barry Dock, was charged with assiulting Amelia Thorpe on the 25th ult.-Amelia. Thorpe, wife of Frederick Thorpe, said on the 25th ult. she was living in Station-street. On the 25th defendant came to her door, struck her and called her all sorts of vulgar names. Her husband was present, and tried to prevent defendant striking her. Defendant summoned him for threats at the last conrt. Anne Sewell corroborated. ,For the defence, Mrs. Rowe called Mrs. Annie Taylor, who said she did not see a blow struck. Case dismissed with a caution. AN .OLD OFFENDER. Elizabeth Hall, who a few weeks ago was charged with attempting suicide at Barry Dock, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the 1st and 3rd of April. Police-constable Stephen Davies said that on the 1st inst. he saw defendant drunk, with a large crowd around her in Evan-street. Defendant was fined 2s. 6d. and costs, or seven days' imprisonment.
