THE PRUSSIAN CHOIR. TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK AT CAR- DIFF PANPPTICONL Herr Pareezer, who will appear at the Panopticon. Cardiff, next week with his magni- ficent dioramas and highly-accomplished Prussian Ohoir, band, and sketch party, has had an interest-inn- and eventful career. Although only 36 years of age, nearly every town, ou the Continent, is familiar to him, and. what is more interesting to us, his travels i-n the Tln-ited Kingdom have extended into all the picturesque nooks and corners of North Wales, with the beautiful scenery of which he bename .;0 enamoured that he eventually settled down at Abeiystwith, "the Queen of Welsh Watering-places," and iti now the pro- pi ietor of a flourishing opera-house there and a- vpiurimerative bill-posting business, whidh, thank* >0 his energy and business capacity, ,i>; flourishing also. One of our representatives on Friday travelled to Bridgend, where during the past week Herr Pareezer has been delighting the inhabitants by his refined, instructive, and interesting entertainments, and sought out the genial traveller for the purpose of learning from his own lips the story of his life. The pressman was cordially received, and spent a, delightful afternoon in Herr Pareezer's company. "I arrived in England in t;be early seventies," aaid Herr Pareczar, as the pressman produced his notebook, "and when T came to tJbis Country from Poland, where T was born, of Jewish ipanents, I oould not Rpeaik a word of English. Urnd'nr the tuition of at German master in London, however, I soon made pro- gress, and. akihioug-b I found, your language terribly hard to learn, I at lMt mastered it." Our representative 'remarked! that Herf J Pareezer had not been guilty of any exaggera- tion in usinig the last .rthrase, because he speaks English as perfectly as if he were "native and 'ÍJQo the. manner born." "Havincr become familiar with the English language," continued, the principal of the Prussian Choir, "I took up a position under ft mill-fitting (firm,, and travelled the lang* manufacturing towns of England, as tlheir representative," when did you start your career as a public entertainer?" "I established the Prussian Choir in 1889. and since then have given entertainments in all parts of England1, Ireland, and Wales, The choir has been a great suooess, and we have younig ladies df several nationalities travel- ling with us, including many Welsh girls." "You have, you say, been generally success- ful in your work ?" "Distirucrtly so. Without undue egotism, Y think I can. say tthjat my entenbainmenits have succeeded 'fcriumiritiantly alii alonig the line, eulogies having poured, in from all siorts and oondntiong of men, inoludiny clergymen, Wes- leyanis, Congregationalists, Roman Catibolics, Baptists, Presbyterians, a"d others, whose admiration- for the.se «ntertainmeints has been fxpress-ed iyk no unstinted twms. Inideed. I have met wifh wondieitful kindness from vast numbers off clergymen and ministers and Load- ing citizens all over the land." "The dioramas have b!'<'on very greatly ap- preciated as modes of educating the people, then?" "Oh, yes. You see, I act as guide to brighten the journey each evening with anec- dote and chatty description; but my talk is always instructive. When we speak of the pictures thrown upon the screen, descriptions must necessarily fail short of the reality; and I can only advise those who want, to know to what excellence the photographer's art haM teen carried to visit my pictorial exhibition^ -where the exquisite beauty of the weirdest, wildest, and most lovely scenery and archi- tecture of the world is depicted with a faith- fulness of colouring and outline second only to the great artist, Mother Nature herself." "How do the members of your choir like the life?" "They enjoy it very much. We are like cne large family, and we are all very happy together. At one time I had several gentle- men in the company, but the choir is idow without them, as the young gentlemen would fall in love with the young ladies, and we had two weddings in six months." "T suppose you have had some funny expe- riences in the course of your travels?" "Yes, quite a catalogue of them; but I cannot re-call them all to mind on the spur of the moment. On one occasion we had to travel a distance of ten miles, and the mem- bers of the choir occupied a specially-retained carriage. During a break in the journey we wera put into a siding, and the railway officials forgot all about us. When the wait became a little bit tedious I left the carriage, and asked the rail- way people how it was that the train that was to take us on had not arrived,and then I dis- covered the true position of affairs. It took us five hours to travel those ten miles. At one plsice in the North the enthusiasm of intending patrons was so great that they broke down the doors of the hall and tried to get in through the windows. That night a large number of the audience had to be accommodated with seats on the platform, and there was hardly room for my artistes to move. On another occasion the curtains on the stage caught fire, and there might have been a serious panic if it had not been for the presence of mind of a gentleman in the audience, who jumped up on the stage and tore the burning curtains down before the audience had recovered from the shock." Speaking of this country, Herr Pareezer said, England, God bless it. It is the country of freedom and toleration, and I hope it may be my abiding place for the remainder of my life. I should like to say," continued the entertainer, that I was much struck with Cardiff on my first visit I to it the other day. It is the most prosperous town in Wales, and I congratulate th*.inhabi- tants upon their extraordinary business capacity." lu the course of further conversation, Herr Pareezer said that the late Sir Joseph Monte- fioro was a personal friend of his, and that he was in possession of letters from Sir Her.rv Irving, Miss Ellen Terry, Marie Rose, and other great- artktes of the theatrical world. Although born of Jewish parents, Herr Pareezer is a Christian, having bee'\ converted to Chris- tianity at Chesterfield, mainly tiirough the instrumentality of Messrs. Fullerton and Smith, two of Mr. Spurgeon's evangelists. This waa in 1883. The effect of this step was electrical in Jewish circles, and-it. resulted in the rernin- ciation of Herr Pareezer by his parents, rela- tives, and friends. Herr Pareeaor during the or •lert fortnight, will give r.wo entertainments daily, and 0,1 «aoh Sunday pictorial saoted x-onoerts will be held by the Prussian Choir. The pictures exhibited by Herr Pareezer ocm- prise scenes all the world-o'er, and are given ing subjects as follows .-—"Round the World," "Canada," America," Under British Flag." "Old Ireland," "Picturcvsoufl Wales," 'Tarin aod it« Exhibition," "Rose, Thistle and Shamrook." "A Tour Through Europe," Jjondoa," "The Islo of Man, "The British Inlands, &11. JJerr Parcewr is a moos «$r,ter- taining lecturer, and never fails tn k.eep the audience interested and in good humour.

CARDIFF GRAND THEATRE. VISIT OF HARDIE AND VON XiEEB'S "THE PLUNGER. Mr. Victor Steven's successful comedy, "The Village Venus, will be followed next week at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, by the production of that wall-known and highly popular American melodrama, entitled "The Plunger." The piece is a portrayal of the sensational incidents which surround the life of the hero of the plot, "Walter Glydon," which role is admirably filled by Mr. Julius Roys- ton. The other characters in the play are sustained by a well-baltooed company, which is under the direction of Messrs. Frank A. Gorden and Haldane Crichton. 'THE NEW WOMAN" AT SWANSEA THEATRE. On Monday next Swansea playgoers are to have a treat in the shape of a visit from Oornyns Carr's Company in the "New Woman," by Sydney Grundy. We have so recently eulogised the play and this particular company on its visit to Cardiff, that further words are hardly needed. The caustic wit and satire of Mr. Grundy's attack on the "new woman" has deligfhted London and sealed the fate of the creature in question. The com- pany includes Mr. R. S. Boleyn, Mr. Henry Arocliffe, Mr. Charles Calvert. Miss Laura Graves, &c., who are well-qualified to take part in what the "Telegraph"' called "the spanking race for conversational fame" fur- nished by this brilliant comedy.

DR. HEtRBER EVANS AT CARDIFF. Dr. Herber Evans, who is to preach in the ParV-hall, Car- diff, to-morrow (Sunday) morning and evening, in connection with Charles- street Congregational Church, is the most distinguished Welsh orator belonging to the denomination, either in the Principality or outside of it. During the greater part of his ministerial life he was connected with Carnarvon, but for the last two years he has acted as principal of the North Wales Con- gregational College at Bangor. Three years ago he was chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, when he delivered two stirring and eloquent addresses —one on "The Free Churches and their Opportunity," and the other on "A Living Church." He has, more than once, been called to the pastorate of a leading church in England, but has remained true to the land of his birth.

Forestier Walker, late Commander of the Forces in Egypt, arrived at Devonport on Friday to prepare to take over the command of the Western District on the 31st inst., in succes- sion to General Sir Richard Harrison, who has held the appointment since April, 1890, his period of .three years having been twice extended.

Kitty Faced the Storm! SIXTEEN DAYS ON A SHIP'S FIGUREHEAD. How the Maria L.'s Mtsecbt W*a^ thered a Hurricane Clinging to Minerva's Helmet. To see Kitty—the Maltese cat of the barque Maria, L.—now, nobody would, imagine that she haxl only a few weeks ago undergone an experience which entitles her to rank as the feline Dr. Tanner. She is sleek, round, and playful, and she purred most amiably when a P, reporter stroked her on the back while she WM lapping a saucer of milk. "I wouldn't give Kitty for a small fortune,"4. said Captain Durso. "J: think ehe's one of roost remarkable eats living. She has-had maook, ?<lvent-iires than perhaps any other of her JribBt but the last one was undoubtedly the mod memorable or the Jot. "You see, it happened thip way. We sailed from Tarragona July 27, and were three weeks out when; a terrific storm arose. Tins raged with almost unabated fury for sixteen days. Aftft" jj; subsided I took an inventory of the mis&rng, but the only thing gone was Kitty. v WA eearched high and lo-w—in the shrouds, bafcwsan deck*—everywhere, but Kitty was no- where 'IIn he -found. I concluded that she had been swept overboard during the storm, par- fcioylarly as one of the sailors told: me that he hat' seen her basking in the sun lees tSiao half an hour before the storm broke loose. The suddenness of the squall. I thought; bad taken e Kitty unawares, andl the first lurch of the ship had consigned her to a watery tomb. The day following the storm was so sunny and balmy that, but for the mountainous sweep: of the waves, which were still fretting-from the lasliing they had received, we could scarcely realise what danger we had just emerged from. "While I was taking mv luncheon, Tony, the cabin boy, came running in. shouting, 'Kitty has been found.' Sure enough, there was Kitty, lying half dead on the deck, while the sailors were grouped around administering milk and stroking her fur ac gently as sentimental girls. "n seems that one of the men, while sitting in the pnow of the ship, heard a plaintive sound coming' from beneath the boom.Looking over, he saw Kitty stretched out in the angle formed by the projecting figure-head- The cat was frightfully emaciated. She lay on her back. Her eves were glazed, and every now and then "3 she uttered a. scarcely audible cry. She made no effort to clutch a sope which was lowered to: 1 her, and so '-tfre man went over and freed her from her perilous position. It is probable that Kitty jumped from the boom to the figure-head, just before the storm. But when the squall came the leap back was too rimrr..pous, and so she. clung to the bàcl2 of Minerva, the figure-head, all during the sixteen days' storm. She could; not have had a mouthful of food in all that time, j and she must have concentrated all her strength., l during the who 1-6 period on. retaining h«CH how." /i1 !??

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. § •THE COMING CONTESTS IN THE! J| CARDIFF WARDS. •$§ O.1 both sides there are sigos of increasing J i activity with reference to the Cardiff municipal -1 elc-«tions, and the trend of events point toi V:f!t'ÿ exciting contacts in most, if not all, of ] the warck. As far as fche Central Ward is concerned, Mr. Robert Hughes, 'the retiring j 4 member, holds the field to himself, as dtwrs Mr. Tuckeir ;,TI. the South. In Splot6 1 I Ws«xi Mr. Robinson is, so far, (the only can- j didaifce the field, but there is some taUk at a dieputtaAion waiting upon Mr. E. W. Shiackell to op-k him to re-consider his decision to retire. In Rivsrsidie the Liberals have not yet pm- duoed f- caaxdidla.te, wlhile in Adiaansdtowm, the CoaustitotioiiaJtiatR mve not up to the pcresefnt j put a, champion in the field. An unexpected' dewlfoprmeint has taken place in Cathays Ward, j it being freely rumoured tlja-t the Radicals! there intend running a (pronounced Liberal' candidiaitfi, because they have not suffioient! confidence in Mr. Cross-man, the retiring, ? member, ail a party man. j THE POSITION IN THE ROATH WARD. As regards the Roath Ward, there have been numerous pourparlers with reference to the. Conservative candidate, with the result that Mr. J. B. Ferrier has beien waited upon, and will give his decision to-day (Saturday).

THE PERSONNEL OF THE COUNCIL. A good deal of the discontent with the pre-, sent. personnel of the council a.rises from tl-e ifact that men have been pushed into positions of influence and ■ responsibility without either natural, or acquired qualifications for the position. Brazen lungs and ostentatious professions of religious iad Radical orthodoxy have been accepted us a substitute for common sense and.; giasp of intellect- GRANGETOWN WARD. MR. F. A. FOX TO BE INVITED. A meeting of the Grangetown Liberal Asso- i oiation washeld on Friday night at the Primi- tive Methodist Chapel, under the presidency ■ of Mr. Marshall, builder. There was a good attendance. The meeting was called to con- sider the selection of a candidate to contest the ward in the Liberal interest, and the names sub- njitted were those of Mr. S. Mildon, Mr. F. A. Fox, Mr. Louis Simuel, 81:d Mr. G. W. Davies. Mr. Mildon secured the unanimous vote, but he declined to stand on account of ill-health. The meeting then rejected "Messrs.

Mr. Alderman Chapman, on the termination of his office as alderman, does not intend to seek re-, election to the council. Mr. F. Rooke held a meeting in the Victoria Ward on Friday evening, at which he declared his intention of standing for the ward. ?

MADAME PATTI'S ILLNESS. The indisposition of Madame Patti was, the "Daily News" learns, nothing worse than a; chill, doubtless a result of the sudden change in the weather last week. Her voice has been: but slightly affected. In towns where she die- a/ppointed* she hopes to give an extra perform manoe later in the season, although ill management have, of course, offered to ek; change tickets or refund the money.
