NOTES. By "OBSERVER." CARDIFF, MONDAY MORNING. Here we are again Another week to be reeled off and afterwards consigned to the safe keeping of eternity Prosaic Monday thou comest down upon one's little dream of peace with the stinging smart of a slap from a wet towel. But I mustn't sermonise, else will the Editor intervene, so I hasten on. And the first thing that strikes me is to sing a song of gladness over the improving outlook in the Welsh coal trade. Things are settling down into kindlier and more workable grooves, and we may presently again see good coal not confined exclusively to the houses of the hupper suckles. High time, foe the days are getting cooler and the nights cooler still-in fact, the season is upon us when home is nothing without cheerful nres but such it was im- possible to obtain with the stuff called coal sold in Cardiff so plentifully during the strike. Whatever virtues this precious material may have possessed it certainly would not burn. Our little competition seems to have brought an immense deal of human natnre to the front. If you don't believe it read the account in another column. Another point to be noted is that the cutting out and piecing together is not quite so easy as it looks. It may be done roughly without much trouble, but that isn't the point, and the Office Poet, who got quite frantic over it threw up the job in disgust, con- soling himself with the thought that absence of neatness is a sign of genius. Oliver Twist contributes the following grumble Having read in your valuable journal the proposal of the guardians to use up the bodies of the paupers, which nobody owns," for the purpose of dis- section, for the tuition of the medical students of our university, in the absence of any prece- dent, or the authority of the Local Government Board, I am bound to enter my strongest pro- test, because it is mak; <ur merchandise of the bodies of the poor. whilst there are sufficient inquests and post-mortem examinations for the instruction of students if they choose to attend. The matter is not so serious as suggested y Oliver Twist," as an assurance is given that in cases where there is the slightest objection the remains will not be given up for dissection. I cannot myself appreciate the horror some people have to their bodies being thus examined, and indeed hundreds of people-and some of them eminent—have voluntarily given up their earthly tabernacle after death to the investigation of the doctors. After all, what does it matter ? The girls seem to have enjoyed themselves tremendously across the briny, and to be coming back amongst us full of sunny memories of their visit to the States. They will have lots of fun to tell their good folks at home. May they have a safe and happy return voyage A glance through the attendance of Welsh members during the session shows the des- perate efforts that the Radicals must have made to whip up their men for the purpose of forcing the Home Rule Bill through. Everybody connected with Parliament must hope that whatever Administration comes next into power will be backed up by a respectable majority. Cardiff journalists—and many, many friends outside the pale of the press-will welcome back with warmth amongst them one who for very many months has been stricken low with sickness. Those to whom the kindly nature and bonhomie and sterling worth of Mr. E. W. Morris have endeared him during his long sojourn at Cardiff will rejoice to see him restored to a measure of strength and rapidly recovering his former self again. Ho! ye Cardiff drapers and outfitters all' a moment pause, I crave a word with you. Listen to this-and imitate. A novel gift enterprise has been introduced in the cloth- ing business by a Washington firm which actually gives a blushing bride to any of their customers who apply. All that the applicant has to do is to purchase a wedding suit. The firm do the rest-furnish the bride, the best man, and the officiating clergyman- Six of their customers have already taken advantage of this offer; and it is claimed that the supply of brides as well as of wed- ding suits is practically unlimited. On the last occasion the bride, a tall and willowy brunette, was tastefully attired in a travel- ling costume of tan-coloured Henrietta cloth, with hat to match. The groom wore a black diagonal coat and vest with dark grey striped trouers. Immediately after the ceremony the newly wedded pair drove to the station for an extended bridal trip. The other morning the Sporting Man was initiating the Religious Editor (yes, I grieve to say it, the Religious Editor) into the mysteries of sparring. One of the move- ments, I think, was called the "upper cut," and the S.M. illustrated the same practically as well as theoretically, When the multi- tude of stars had faded from the R.E.'s mental firmament and he had recovered his balance, he became thoughtful and muttered, Ah, that will help me when next I have a difference with the brethren over at Betha- bara." Really that S.M. has a deal to answer for. The Queen's Prizeman Fund is bowling merrily along, and it is particularly pleasant to note the interest taken in it by the genial sergeant's fellow workmen. Say what you like about a prophet having no honour in his own country, commend me to the man who is best beloved by those who know him best. As for the part Llanelly is taking in the fund, she knows that in honouring her townsman she is simply honouring herself. Thank goodness, another strike is knocked on the head! The masons' difficulty was squashed to the infinite delight of the dis- trict at large, and now the Taff Vale mess is also cleared away. So we shall have a little breathing time after the Rhondda nuisance after all. We can stand one strike at a time; but really when they come upon us thick as leaves in Val-how do they spell the place ?—it is time to cry out, Hold! Enough! Sir,-As an attendant for many years at All Saints, I have reluctantly to make a complaint respecting the method adopted latterly towards the members. This Church is well-known, is situated in the centre of a large and attentive congregation, who always found it, not only a place of spiritual succour, but a convenient place as well. Now, however, a portion of the Sabbath services have been transferred to the St. Elvin's Mission-room, at Adamsdown-square. In the days of the Old Friar, All Saints was open to the public at all the services on Sundays, whereas, now it is closed on Sunday evenings. The result is, that several mem- bers of the congregation are dissatisfied, and are likely to sever themselves from the dogmas taught at All Saints, and betake themselves to other churches. In the hope that some steps may be taken to have former obser- vances reinstated, and thus a feeling of good- will restored amongst the congregation of All Saints, as a whole,-I am, &c., A LOVER OF SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES. Cardiff. More ironclads sinking! If this kind of thing goes on we shall have the popularity of naval service waning everywhere. Men may be brave, but what avails it when naval architects do not know their business ? I suppose when the time comes to beat the swords of the world into plougshares and its spea.rs into pruning hooks these sea monsters will be sealed up and utilised as diving bells, when their splendid sinking capacities will be given full play.

End of His Bell-ringing. Willie Hoskins, one of the London bell- ringers injured in the railway accident at.Kings- bury, New York, died on Sunday.

EXPRESS" PRIZE WINNERS. Results of the First Series of "Adlet" Competition. A TRIAL OF SKILL THAT HAS CAUGHT ON LIKE WILDFIRE. The Five Pounds Go to Pontypridd. WHAT KIND OF BOOKS THE FIFTY PRIZE WINNERS SELECTED. Below will be found the list of prize winners in the first series of what the Western Mail calls our divert- ing competitions." Competitors were ex- pected to cut out the medley-illustration on the top of the first two columns on the second, page, and piece it together preperly so as to bring the picture back into its original condition. Each ,effort to qualify for competition has to be accompanied by a. want adlet," for which the special rate of one farthing per word is charged for insertion. A first prize of zC5 was offered for the best one received during the week, and 50 other competitors are each awarded a selected book worth 3s. 6d. In awarding the prizes, the correctness and neatness with which the illus- tration is pieced together a.re chiefly considered. The scheme has caught on without a doubt. During the week nearly 200 "want adlets or small advertise- ments were received. In twelve instances the competitors did not comply with the conditions, omitting either advertisement or stamps. It has to be admitted right away at the outset that the general character of the work dene is poor. The average idea of neatness as exemplified in this competition is a. trifle depressing. Some competitors have left gaps between the pieces big enough to let slugs walk through. There have been a few good specimens, however. Future competitors may be glad of a hint that the best way to set about the work is to cut a piece of cardboard about 8in. by 5in., and be very careful with the cutting. Those com- petitors who have put a border to the sketch, or otherwise attempted to ornament it, have simply wasted their time, for embellishments do not count, and are not wanted. The first in order of merit is he or she who cuts out the illustration and places the pieces neatly together so as to show the least possible evidence of the joining.

The great majority of the adlets were con- cerned with business pure and simple. Com- petitors had a. real want," and went the right way to get it satisfied. There were others, how- ever, who desired to compete and had no want in band. We want to encourage them, for their eiforts brighten the adlet column. No one doubts that who reads the Express adlets. One tries to get at the weak side of the judges, with Sorry could not meet you: waiting for Express £ 5"; another underta.kes to give to the infirmary the £5 — when he gets it—if someone will deuble the donation. Cassie wants a cure for cramped shoul- ders contracted by manipulating the puzzle, and hopes a C5 bank-note will be forwarded to serve as a plaster; several tell us with brutal frankness they eDly want the money or a selected book. "I would have tried another picture," piteously explains H. M. P. but after calling at three shops in Eldon-road had the answer, 'Not another Express left.' H. M. P." must weep alone; we smile. B. R." assails us with a delicate flattery, "All should Mispress or Marl their wants every evening ar ■ Day by Day." His selected book is Mill's Logic," a dangerous weapon for such a man. "A. D.'s" compliment is of the direct kind. Modesty forbids its re-production and we pass on to E. S." who wants nothing and Aristotle's Ethics to "J. P. who voices the general discontent with the council; to D. P. D. whose "next wife" (what polygamist is this ?) will be sought for among the readers of the adlets to Bill Adams." who wants a white elephant," and does not go to Pontypridd for it and finally "to J.R. who has lost a grey parret, and gives leave to the finder to wring its neck. The selection of books shows a strong run on Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress" and The Family Doctor," and in a less degree upon the works of Dickens and Thackeray. We have only to add that orders for the books have been despatched by post to the above addresses and the recipient of an order will receive his selected book upon production at the Express Office, St. Mary-street.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING. Interesting Items About People and Things. When meeting a friend, the Chinaman shakes his own hand instead of his friend's. The Czar has ordered a magnificent new steam yacht, of 4,000 tons burden, for his private use in the Black Sea, from a firm of shipbuilders at Copenhagen. Said a farmer witness at the Welsh Land Commission, "We would be glad of the measures the Irish are dissatisfied with. We should be pleased to have the Irish pairings." I Lord Brassey is mentioned by some of the native Indian newspapers as a suitable man for the position of Viceroy. He is 57 years of age. He ha.- been a great traveller, and knows every corner of the British Empire. It is a notable fact, says a contemporary, that not only can our own Queen swim, but so also can all her daughters. The Princess of Wales, all her three daughters, and the Prin- cess May are also swimmers. The Chinese shave off their hair and let their finger nails grow; they drink their tea cold and their wine warm; they wear white for mourning, and a pupil reciting turns his back to his teacher. A brother of the King of Siam is expected to arrive in Italy shortly, attended by a numerous suite. The Royal guest will, it is stated, visit first Naples and Rome, and then go to Monza to visit the King and Queen of Italy. Sir Robert Peel was in Parliament at 21: Palmers ton was Lord of the Admiralty at 25; Mr. Gladstone entered Parliament at 22. and was Lord of the Treasury at 24,.

STOLE CHOCOLATE. Magistrates Order Penarth Boys to be Birched. The Penarth ma,gistrates (Mr. O. H. Jones and Mr. J. Duncan) had before them this morn- ing a case in which two boys named Frank Col- lins and M'Kay were charged with stealing four shillings' worth of chocolate and other sweets on the previous Tuesday, the property of Johanna Griffiths, 54, Glebe-street, Penarth. Prisoners were ordered to receive six strokes each with the birch.

BUTCHERS BANKRUPT. Sickness, Bad Trade, and Hot Weather Combine Against Them. This morning the creditors of Frederick Pit- man, of 6, Holmesdale-street, Grang-etown, then of 56, Splott-road, Cardiff, and 29, Glamorgan- street, Barry, a journeyman butcher, was held at the Official Receiver's office, Queen- street, Cardiff, this morning. The statement of affairs showed the gross liabilities to be X65 lls. 5d., the whole of which would rank for dividend. The assets were esti- mated to produce X33 17s. 10d., which would leave a deficiency of R31 13s. 7d. The debtor alleged his causes of failure were sickness of himself, wife, and family, and bad stock.-The Official Receiver observed that debtor had no offer to make, and had been adjudged a bankrupt.-No resolution was passed, and the Official Receiver remains trustee. At noon a meeting of the creditors of Robert Blight, butcher, of 10, the Hayes, and No. 10 stall in the Market, Cardiff, was held. In this case the gross liabilities were JB326 lls. 6d., the whole of which would rank for division. The assets were set 'o down at C54 lls. 3d., the deficiency being £ 272 Os. 3d. The debtor alleged as his cause of failure bad trade, sickness, and loss of stock during the hot weather. — The Official Receiver's observations were :—Debtor has no offer to make to his creditors, and has been adjudicated bankrupt on his own appli- cation. He filed his petition owing to a number of his creditors suing him. He commenced trad- ing about twelve years ago, at which date he had a. capital of £ 63 that he also worked as a journeyman butcher during the first ten years of his trading, and it was not until about two years age that he devoted all his time to the business, He admits that he knew he was insolvent about, this date. since when he has contracted new debts amounting to over £ 150, his only ex- pectation of payment being the hope that trade would revive. The only books of account kept are daybooks of credit sales. There is nothing to show the result of the trading or what he has done with the cash taken in the business, and he cannot show his financial position at any date, but he appears to have been insolvent for many years past. He estimates his assets at £54, but they are not likely to produce this amount.- No resolution was passed and the Official Receiver remains trustee.

FILTHY PUBLIC-HOUSES. Mr. McKensie's Proposal for Their Extinction at Cardiff. During the hearing of the application for an additional licensed house for the Moors at the Cardiff Licensing Sessions on Friday one of our representatives had a conversation with Mr. McKenzie, Cardiff's genial head- eon-table. How do you think the question of licences should be dealt with?" asked the pressman. "Well, in my opinion," answered the chief, "there should be sufficient houses to meet the requirements of the population—so many people to every house; and then every house should be fully licensed." The effect of that would be-" The effect would be to enhance the value of all those houses, but the nrimary and best effect would be that all those filthy, evil-smelling, and badly-ventilated places would be swept away. Again, with the houses and their licences at higher value, the people in charge would conduct t! >m properly, and I ■should think everybody would be satisfied."

Shop Lifting at Cardiff. At Cardiff Police-court this morning (before Dr. Paine, Alderman Carey, and Mr. H. E. Spencer) Francis Francis, 36, was convicted for stealing a coat, valued at 6s. 6d., from Messrs. Louis Barnett and Son, 49, Bute-street, on the 23rd inst., and sent to prison for fourteen days thhard labour.

WELSH WHIMS. j Smart Notions from the Big Morning Paper. Ben Davies, the Queen's tenor—that is how our Welshman is referred to in the Chicago papers. One of the new books is called Glimpses of Welsh Life and Character." It is by Marie Trevelyan. A man who pronolinces n" like 1 must have spelled Penrhyn to the Yankee reporters. One of them gives the word aa "Pelrhyle." A college was organised at Chicago some days ago, and it is significant that a Welshman was placed in charge of the moneybags. About half a century ago an old man at Pembrey wrote in Welsh an essay on "Free Education." He has been spending the last ten years in translating it into English. A benevolent and Christian old Cardigan- shire lady who entertained 30 children t4 tea and cake was horrified when they after- wards surrounded her and gratefully chorused out Ta-ra-rarboom-de-ay." Who would have imagined that the "Court Circular was edited by a Mr. Jones ? Yet the Welsh were always born courtiers, so "Morien" informs us, and it is, therefore, not surprising to find Mr. Charles Ferdinand Jones at the head of the Court official paper. At the Caff Police-court," says the British and Colonial Druggist." As the case in question was tried at the Cardiff Police-court, we should fancy that the mayor and corporation should have something to say about such mutilation as this. One or two of the American papers know better than to grapple with the names of Welsh bards. At the Chicago Eisteddfod there were many candidates for hardships and many were elected. Their every-day names are given, and the Herald then shrewdly adda. each candidate was given a name by which he was afterwards to be known in the bardic circle." Queen Elizabeth, never forgetting her Welsh descent, was always fond of Welsh people. Her principal huntsman was James ap Harry, gent., andjiis cousin Blanche Parry was one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen. They were of the very ancient family of Ap Harry, seated for many generations at Poston, in the Golden Valley (Dyffryn Aur), in the Welsh part of Herefordshire. A good story is related of Dr. Owen Thomas and Dr. Parry, Bala, when they were fellow-students at Edinburgh. They were notoriously poor, and lodged together. One morning Owen Thomas suggested that the landlady had been helping herself to their loaf, and persisted in his statement despite Parry's admonition not to be over- suspicious. "Here's a proof," says Owen. Thomas, holding the loaf to the fire, took at the butter melting. When did we two have any butter in our possession ?" One of the popular Welsh bards, who has frequently been a winner of ersteddfodic plums, won his first prize with the following composition: — Y ci Nipper yw y clipper, Pan yn mrnd tua. gwaith y gwter, Mae yn flogio cwn Lwmaman, Pan y byddo wrtho'i hunan." T.he prize, we presume, was offered foi an impromptu composition to a dog whiol was present at the eisteddfod. Lady Aberdare feels in some measure reo warded for the pains she took in collecting Welsh exhibits for the Chicago Exhibition. "My knitter," says her ladyship Proudly, is one of the brightest-looking, prettiest- mannered Welsh girls conceivable, and glow. ing accounts are sent me of the delighted groups that gather round her, watching her deft movements, as, in full Welsh costume, she turns out article after article from her busy loom." The General Post Office has been moved to issue a special circular in connection with the Welsh Land Commission, directing local postmasters how to deal with letters, &0.. addressed to members of the commission. This arrangement is not always a success. Some- body sent Mr. Lleufer Thomas, a brace o partridges on the 11th inst., and they follower, him about the country till the 20th, when they overtook him at Carnarvon, where the general secretary of the commission spent some time looking for an enemy to whom he might give the birds, which were then aiming very high. What it is to have habits. A Radical can- vasser was giving evidence at the CardiS Registration Court. What date did this occur?" asked the revising barrister. "Tlu eighth of three," said the canvasser. Tht eighth of three?" mused the revising barrister, putting down his pen. leaning back, and gazing inquiringly at the witness. He means, sir," said a solicitor, that it was on the eightl of the third month—March, sir." "Oh, I see," (then to the canvasser), And when did you get a reply?" "Fifteenth of seven." The revising barrister looked tired. Colonel Sackville West, Lord Penrhyn'i agent, told the Welsh Land Commission that the farm rental of the Penrhyn estates was £21.000. The greater portion of Lord fen- rhyn's income comes," sa.ys the Star," not from farms, but from slate quarries. Penrhyn Castle is an old structure of convenient huge- ness, for its owner has fiiteen children. Here he lives in great state, save when he is a.t Mortimer House, Halkia-street, which is one of the few West End houses standing within their own gardens. #Tot long ago Lord Penrhyn got into sad trouble through advising the Prince of Wales itfrt to go to Bangor Eisteddfod because two years previously the Home Rulers had takfill advantage of Air. Gladstone's presence in Bangor to give him an address. It was said at the time that the Prince's reception of tSie hint did not en- courage future counsel oi this nature." Miss Talbot, of Maryam Abbey, has been mentioned more than ence in the evidence submitted before the W^Jsh Land Commission, and this fact reminds the London Star" that the lady is the daughter of the late father" of the Hou«e of Commons, Mr. C. R. M. Talbot. By his will Mr. Talbot left his eldest daughter all his estates, valued at j32,000,000 sterling. Mr. Talbot'« mother was a daughter of the second Earl of Ilchester, who was a cousin of Charlee James Fox. The cowmon ancestor of the two families was Sir Stephen Fox, who attended Charles I. on the scaffold and faithfully adhered to the cause of his som, ultimately acquiring a large fortune. Miss Talbot is one of the richest landed com- moners in the United Kingdom. Mr. Hugh Harries, of Croydon. writing of ft recent visit to Stonehenpe, of which Morien** knows more than he would care to tell, says The old photographer, who has had charge of the stones for the last 30or 40 years, told me Mt incident which is not without interest. Some years ago, while following his vocation at th# stones, a lady and two gentlemen drove up ia the manner in which scores of tourists come up from Salisbury. He took no more notice at them than any others. After a little while, however, they came to mspect his views, and, at the suggestion of the lady, they were even- tually photographed against one of the stonee, one of the gentlemen firing an address in the West End where the photos were to be sent* The party left unrecognised. It subsequently transpired, to the astonishment of the old man, that this was none other than the Queen. H. kept the negative until by accident it WR8 broken, and it has brought him in an annual revenue of £50. When Mr. Bryn Roberts was giving evidence at the last meeting of the Land Commission at Carnarvon Mr. Brynmor .Jones interposed with a question which was seemingly quite irrelevant, and incongruous, askin"- if tie thought it desirable for county-court judg61 to possess a knowledge of Welsh. The wit- ness admitted tha.t he did, but added, amidst laughter, that it was more desirable still foi him to have a thorough knowledge of law. The point of all this lies in the fact that bott the catechises and responder are Welshm« and lawyers, that Mr. Brynmor Jones ha¡; been a county-court judge in Wales, and thai. Mr. Bryn Roberts's aspirations are said tf lie in tha.t direction. Another interesting fad in connection with Mr. BrYb Roberts and the Land Commission is that it was universally expected that he would be appointed a mem- ber of the commission, a.ud that when the list of members was published papers like the Genedl" were loud in their expressions of sympathy with Mr. Bryn Roberts: indeed, they were suspiciously profuse iR their con- ■. dolence..
