The Bishop of London during his visit to jWxnsea. was the guest of Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn Penllergaer. Among the things expected at the Cardiff County Council on Monday is a big debate on the question of the site which the new Town- hall committee now suggest should be obtained in the Cardiff Arms Park. One of the biggest of Maori schools—they are all maintained by the State-has a Welsh- man in charge. He is Mr. T. Morgan, for- merly master of the National Schools, Llanelly. Fifteen hundred Maori pupils answer to his call. Principal Rhys. of Oxford, enjoyed a drive through Gower on Thursday, and afterwards rooke highly of the scenery. Speaking of an rrid cromlech down there, he referred to the 7 BUDerstition that St. David had split it in two with his sword to show that there was nothing in it to inspire worship. When an alderman's son was "landed" by his father at the Swansea, Baths on Thursday night with a ten-foot rod he said he felt like a fish out of water. It was said that they Quarrelled over the old saying about there being "a fish at one end, &c." because they couldn't settle amicably which was the fish. The Swansea bakers on Monday last raised the price of bread jd. per loaf, and the same day a thrifty housewife sutured a baker's shop and a-sked for a 41b., for which she put down 4d. On beinsr told that bread had risen £ d. cer loaf from that day, she mildly asked for one baked on Saturday, thus (remarks the "Post") evading the advance. In going to the Chester teetotal conference to talk facts Mr. Marchant Williams poked his stick into a hornet's nest, and the buzzing about hi.; ears now must be deafening. Nonconformist ministers and other abolitionists, as well as the vernacular papers, are scolding him with all the vigour and picturesqueness of k language of ail irate fish woman on market f day. One of the most successful disturbers of the peace of the football world lias again started on his work of prophesying in the columns of the London '"Star." This prophet of good and evil says that Newport to-day will play Moselev blind, that Cardiff will roll over Glou- cester, that Penarth will mNeath feel ill, and that Swansea will put Llanelly out of >-■ eight. r- Mr. J. Jones Pughe, of Pontypridd, the successful candidate for the post of solicitor to the Welsh Baptist Union, is a native of Maobyn.IM'li, Montgomeryshire, and a nephew of the Rev. Evan Jones, of Carnarvon, the well-known pulpit orator. Mr. Pughe was educated at the University College, Aberyst- wifh, and he may be added to the premtv long list of energetic young msn that institution has produced. Had Will Brvan, of "Rhys Lewis" fame, been in the Dr. Parry concert at Maesteg, he would have shouted out his familiar phrase, "True to Nature."

Anthony Howell, American Consul, Cardiff, who presided. In the "Working Day" competition of the "New Age," which, by the way, had become tfhe property of Mr. Fletcher, late editor of the "'Daily Chronicle," and named as Radical candidate for Cardiff, the prize for the best article descriptive of shop life was divided between Mr. T. Spencer Jones, chair- man at the Cardiff Shop Assistants' Union, and another writer. The competition, says the editor, was an exceptionally stiff one. So good, indeed, were the papers sent in that he had muc-h difficulty in jud'gin.g their merits. A well-known Welsh football referee has told a Swansea "Post" man many stories, of which this one is a sample:—Scene: St. Helen's Ground; even and exciting game. One player to an opponent: "Look here, if you do that again I'll kick your stomach out for yolk." Opponent (defiantly): "Come here; repwt those words in the presence of the referee." First player: "Yes, I will" (and does so). Second player (to referee): "Now, you have heard the threat. What are you going to do?" Referee (coolly): "After he has carried out the threat I shall order him off the field, and not before, because there's no rule dealing with such a threat as that."

A pathetic incident was witnessed on -he Great Western Railway platform at Cardiff last night. A man, well-laden with liquor, was trying hard to get on an automatic weigh- ing-machine. He could see the foot-stand right enough, but he always managed to shoot about two feet wide. After skirmishing round for a few minutes he paused, rested one hand on the machine, and vainly tried to put a foot on the stand, but it came down on the railway platform every time. Then he grasped the machine firmly with both hands, and laboriously clambered to his place. But he couldn't for the life of him drop the penny in the slot. There were slots all over tie machine and half-way up the station, but, somehow, he couldn't get the right one. Then, calling to someone in the crowd which stood around, he said, with much difficulty and many pauses, punctuated by hiccups, "Ere, pud this benny in yh sblot. Wani t'know what I weigh when I'm fu>U. Welsh mountain 3 have lately been scaled by One of the notable mountain-climbers of the piesent time, namely, Mf. Haskett Smith, and tt3 has written a very interesting book about it. Of course, he deals with the black lis* of catastrophes, and relates the mysterious disaster which overtook Mr. Kendal twenty years ago. He left Gwynant Valley to ascend Snowdon. Nothing was heard of him, but a pair of boots containing stockings marked with his name "was found nearly three weeks afterwards on the edge of the lake Llyn Llydaw, which is, of cr-urse, considerably distant from and beneath the summit. Ten days later his body was found, uninjured, on the ridge called Crib-y- Ddysgl. It was not precisely stated on what part of Cnb-y-Ddvsgl the body was found, and rothing transpired as to tho condition of the feet; but it is simply amazing to anyone familiar with the character of the ground that a hare-footed man should ever have got so far. Why he did it aad how he did it will always remain among the mysteries of Snowdon-" The lot of a Glamorganshire county coun- cillor may be honourable, but it is not always a happy one. To attend meetings members often have to travel many miles and pay for their own refreshments, except at Bridgend Lunatic Asylum and at Howell's School for Girls at Llandaff. At a meeting of the governors of this school on Thursday, Alderman Aaron Davies (who was in the chair) suggested the discontinuance of the use of beer, the account under this head amounting to £ 40 a year, or :£2 for each of the twenty officials. Sir George Walker and other members pooh-poohed the suggestion, considering that the payment was extremely reasonable. The teetotal alderman refused to be mollified, and although he dropped the subject for the day he threatened to bring it on at the next meeting. A feature of the affair is that the members ait these Llandatf meetings always have a recherche luncheon and drinks ad lib. (including wines and spirits), alnd they do not know who pays for them. A ember confessed after the meeting that this hospitality, for all he knew, might have come the E40 a year. I

:A Shocking Experiment
A Shocking Experiment By Fredk. Boyle. There were excellent reasons—uvhich. have lost force now—for hushing up the story of the tire ao Portal Abbey. That Sir Geoffrey Steyne caused it was known in a very few hours, for several of Mr. Hudson's servants overheard his angry reproaches. But the facts have not been published, and they are worth noting. It wan hinted at the time that the Steynes had never forgiven the purchasers of their ancient seat. This is absurd. The families were friendly enough till, thirty years ago, 1Ir. Hudson, father of the present, began to "improve'' the Abbey. Among other dread- ful deeds, he transformed the private chapel into ai billiard-room. Sir Herbert Steyne tool; proceedings, under an old statue, to prevent this outrage; but he had to drop the action, finding himself unable to prove that the building had ever been consecrated. Then the acquaintance broke off, naturally. As u. maJttu of fact, I believe that none of the present generation had so much as seen eacli other until this sto:/ opened. Sir Geoffrey Steyne, his fortune recruited by a long minority, spent abroad for the most part, led a shooting expedition from toe Zambesi riglut up to the domain of the East African Company, where Captain Hudson, R.E. was surveying at the time. A quarrel arose with the natives—the camp was at- tackecl-and Hudson arrived only just in time to sa,ve the party. Ha spent but a few hours in their company, sending them down to the coast next day under escort; but Sir Geoffrey's character struck him. "J never saw such a fellow, he wrote home "it's absurd to suppose he was drunk a drank* n man doesn't tight in that way, espeeia-iiy when wounded in half a dozen places. But it it isn't anything spirituous which flows in that boy's veins, it's quick- silver." And he proceeded to details which interested his sister Madeleine. She was not a pattern young lady—much too fond of fun, ivvhich seemed all the more delightful if it had a spice of mischief. Some weeks afterwards Sir Geoffrey reached England, and called on the family of his preserver. The conversation opened with all decorum. But when the young man had' ex- pressed! his thanks—very nicely, too—he broke loose, just as Captain Hudson described. I have no space for samples of his humour, which, in truth, was little more than the outburst of subnormal vivacity, amusing enough to ^ny hearer, but especially to young people as thoughtless and as ready to laugh as Madeleine-not adapted for tran- scription, however. That sort of man makes acquaintance rapidly. George Hudson begged him to call whenever he had time, and Made- leine seconded the. invitation with her eyes. When he hiaid gone she looked a.t her brother, and both laughed. Mr. Hudson expressed her thought. "So early in the afternoon he murmured. "Dear, dear such a fine young man, too!" The call was returned, of course. Then Lady Steyne mad'e advaince3. Her son had passed the age when, ag she thought, a young man of property ought to marry; but hitherto, in the literal sense of the words, he h«aj. regarded no young lady seriously. Madeleine on her best behaviour seemed a most desirable match, and she nva-s very pretty. So the acquaintance grew: not with Mr. Hudson's a,pprovilll, but that signified nothing. As time went on, the first natural explana- tion of Sir Geoffrey's high spirits became rather doubtful. He refused to drink anv- thing besides vlater and tea. Most people would have felt quite sure thai; the suspicion was unjust. But Mr. Hudson had drunken- ness on the brain, as they say. He regarded that as the mainspring of events at large, public Rnd private, in this realm of England. And Madeleine, of course, had imbibed some- thing of his fancy. Sir Geoffrey was telling stories one day, when he was interrupted: "Do you iw=an Literally that you c.m jump off a horse going full gallop, and shoot an antelope right and left? Can you do it in the park ?" "Trot out the antelopes, and I will try." "That's not necessary. Let's us see you jump off, and we'll imagine the antelopes/ "Do you offer any prize?" l' Yes; I'll believe every word you sav hereafter!" Oh this i3 the listener I have praved for from my youth up I -will reward you, Miss Hudson, with adventures never' vet confided! to mortal. Where's the 'horse? Give me a Winchester, George, and I'll throw the shooting in. The brook meadow would be a good make-shift for a veldt, I think." As they walked thither Madeleine began to quake; George overtook them with a groom and a led horse. "011., the wretched boy has brought Ras- per," she exclaimed. "He's much too spirited!" "We take them as they come. Now, Miss Hudson, here is the first trial of the confi- dence you hare sworn." "You have not earned it yet "Well, if you're so punctilious, for a few minutes more you may cherish the fancy that those two objects," pointing, "are young trees, not antelopes." ° (Rasper approached, fretting and tcssing. "Oh, don't try it, please," Madeleine cried; "I'll accept your Iwürd." "Heaven will forgive you the fib, I hope. Now, George, the rifle "I say There are men working yonder "Tell them not to get behind those young trees. A Winchester hits hard' And! he sprang into the saddle. "Bei/md the trees George murmured. "Well, he has a cheek Madeleine was white with alarm as Sir Geoffrey returned up the long meadow full gallop. He unslung the rifle-Bhe clutched George's arm; suddenly with a cheer he drew hifi feet from the stirrups—Madeleine saw no more But on the instant shots rang out, one after another, till the magazine was emptied. "Now, Miss Hudson! Sir Georffray laighed. "Prepare to change all your views about everything under my directions. You were not frightened, surely? Why, Afri- kander bo,T3 can perform that feat ten years old.' "Then I'm not surprised their fathers beat us at Majubin Hill," cried George. "Every bullet hit." Hs. galloped 'home and met them at the hall door with e, tankard'. Sir Geoffrey de- clined it. "Are you a. teetotaler?" Madeleine asked, rather ironically. "I don't know; but I never felt an inclina- tion to drink anything but water." George whispered) in a stage aside: "My dear, ho haH began to reward you with thumpers already. Sir Geoffrey only laughed. That was the explanation, of ooureo. But few 4ays afterwards Madeleine spent an alter noon with Lady Steyne, who, getting very hopeful now, recited her son's virtues; among them was total abstinence. Madeleine could no longer doubt. Instantly a mischievous thought arose. If ho was no lively on tea and water, what would be the result of a. glass of champa-gne ? The very same idea struck George when she tald him, and at the first opportunity he made an attempt. "My dlear fellow," said Sir Geoffrey, "I tfcren't! It would be like testing some new explosive oi which one can't calculate the foroe. This comparison IWlaJ not likely to deter George. Feeling himself unable to work the oracle, a3 he said, he urged his sister to try. She resisted, laughingly, though aa curious j a3 himself to see the issue. The growing intimacy which delighted Lady Steyne alarmed M'1'. Hudson. He gave Sii Gccffrey a hint-u. pretty strong one. Now thi3 young man, though easy and careless, had an intense pride of family, and at the bottom of his heart Jay an undying grievance against the men who had not only bought the home of his forefathers, but had vulgarised it. Some sharp words passed. He chanced to meet George on leaving and toM him. George told his sister, requesting Sir Geoff- rey to wait. A small domestic row followed, and poor Mr. Hudson sent an apology. Meantime the afternoon turned out wet; George prevailed on him to stay to dinner— "just to show there was no ill-feeling. "It's the first time I have dined here," Geoffrey murmured as they sat down. "J ask myself, is it to bo the last?" "Oh!" Madeleine cried, "here's the por- tent Sir Geoffrey Steyne feels miserable. Fill his glass, George. It must not be said that you were really miserable for the first time in your life at our table. I insist, Sir Geoffrey "Please, let me off i I don't know what the consequences may be." "The natural consequences of a glass of wine are cheerfulness," said George. "Drink and forget your cares." His j-uster suppoi-Jjed} homi with merry malice. Sir Geoffrey shook his head. but obeyed. The result WM sdl they had hoped, and I more—for a time. Cheerfulness returned ■with a vengeance Mr. Hudson himself could not stop laughing—the servants forgot their discipline. But Sir Geoffrey kept sipping. A child would scarcely have been excited by the amount he drank, but it was enough to upset that vivacious temperament. The lively mood passed, and he talked earnestly on the affairs of the day-on poli- tics, even on religon, speaking well on everj theme. Dinner was long finished. Madeleine mse at length, surprised and delighted, but rather nervous' about the issue. The others adjourned to the billiard hall. Sir Geoffrey had not seen this apartment before. It was the family chapel, as has heer. said, desecrated by Mr. Hudson's father; but Mr. Hudson had himself lately re-fur- nished it in the style termed Oriental by up- holsterers- -with a. dadto of India matting, walls panelled with Turkish stuffs, and even the vaulted roof hidden by a ceiling of bam- boo. It was a building apart, but under the main wall of the abbey. Sir Geeffrey stood in the doorway, looking at the decorations with an air of passionate distaste. "This is where my forefathers used to worship! Did you leave any mark to show where the altar stood, Mr. Hudson? Ah, I see, that cue-rack indicates the spot. Very thoughtful and appropriate He ad- vanced. "One of my ancestors was buried somewhere about. It's an interesting story. He lost his head on Tower Hill, and his widow brought home the body. You did not notice the gravestone, perhaps ? Who oould regret a sacrifice of sentiment in view of a. work of airt likei this ?" And so on, with increasing bitterness. George, getting! al.a.rmed, called for brandy and ecda, in hopes that his mood would change once fmore. It did not—he began to raVe. "For Heaven's sake, don't talk so loud said George. ''Madeleine's room is just above." But he wias quarrelsome now. Mr. Hudson fled, angry and frightened, bidding his son to follow. George lingered a moment. "Do go, Steyne he urged. "We shall hardly pacify the governor now." "Pacify! Pacify the shades of my fore- fathers Stijip your gimcrackery from their walis Burn it! Fire is the only purge for crime liike this!" With eyes flaming he stalked to and fro, his tossed 'hair wet with perspiration. He was maa. George left the room hastily to consult. A moment afterwards the curtains were blazing. They flared up-panels and ceiling caught. All was flame and smoke in an in- stant. Steyne ran out shouting—the passage was empty. George's words recurred—Madeleine's room was just above. He ran on—a servants' staircase opened on his right. The smoke grew thicker as he dlashed up, crying, "Made- leine Madeleine!" "In there screamed' a maid, rushing past. Medeleine was throwing on the dress just discarded. He lifted her and fought his way down through the dense smoke, muttering prayers. AM was bustle in the passage be- low. As Sir Geoffrey appeared with Madie- leine in his arms, Mr. Hudson was speeding by. "Villain!" he cried, "you shall answer for this "No, no, papa; it is all my wicked doing I must answer for it That is the true story of the fire at Portal Abbey. The biilliard-rooim was burnt out, but its thick walls and vaulted roof held the ames confined. Young Lady Steyne has tried no more shocking experiments upon her hus- band. J

IATE MRS. STUDT.
IATE MRS. STUDT. FUNERAL AT CARDIFF CEMETERY YESTERDAY. The interment of the mortal remains of Mrs. Studt, mother of Mr. John Studt, the well- krown amusement caterer. took place at tha Cardiff Cemetery on Friday afternoon. The death of the old lady, as we have already reported, occurred on Monday at Gloucester, where she and her son had "set up" for the time of the Glouces- ter Fair with their popular amusements. Per- haps in few places in the kingdom was the deceased better known or more generally respected by the townspeople than at Glouces- ter and when on Friday morning the funeral cortege left the Kingsholm Grounds for the railway station, en route for Cardiff, a large procession of old fiiends joined it, and the I ouseholders and shopkeepers along the route showed their mark of esteem by the customary putting up of shutters in the windows of their tenements. In fact, Gloucester was prac- tically in mourning. The train in which the fvneral party travelled arrived at Cardiff at five minutes after one o'clock, and the coffin was immediately conveyed to the hearse awaiting it outside the station. The sight presented was a most impressive one as the four horses drawing the glass panelled hearse, followed by a larfge number of mourning coaches and private cabs, proceeded at a walking pace down St. Mary-street. The chief mourners were Mr. John Studt (eldest son of the deceased) and Mrs. John Studt, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Studt, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Studt, and eight grandchildren; Mr. end Mis.

WHOLESALE POISONING.)
WHOLESALE POISONING.) TWENTY-THREE CHILDjREN MUR- DERED BY A WOMAN]. A Central News telegram from Rome on Friday says: -A remarkable case of whole- sale poisoning is reported from the little town of Aderno, at the foot of Mount Etna, in Sicily. Remarkable deaths of children have been recently recorded, and to-day the police arrested a woman named Stimoli on the charge of having murdered them. The pri- soner made a full avowal of her guilt, con- fessing that s'he had poisoned no fewer than 23 young Children, her object being, she declared, to avenge on the offspring of others, the death of her two sons. This confession of homicidal mania does not wholly obtain credence, and the police, suspecting other motives, have arrested seven alleged accom- plices.
MRS. LANGTRY'S JEWELS.
MRS. LANGTRY'S JEWELS. POLICE ARE IN POSSESSION OF A CLUE. The Press Association says: —A portion of the stolen jewellery belonging1 to Mrs. Langtry, obtained from the Sloane-street Branch of the Union Bank by means of a forged order, has been recovered. The articles found, though only constituting a small part of the whoie forty thousand pounds' worth, have, apparently, furnished the police with very important in- formation regarding the mystery of the theft. It would appear that the whereabouts of the jewels recovered was discovered by a gentleman who was in a position to recognise some of the stolen valuables. Ha-tton-garden is the centre in London for the negotiation of costly jewels, and the presence of such valuables in the market readily becomes common property amongst the merchants. Learning in the ordinary way of business, thai the two very exccptionail sapphires were in the market, the gentleman in question obtained an opportunity of examining them, and he im- mediately took ffteps to communicate his suspicions that the two stones belonged to Mrs. Langtry's collection, to those engaged in searching for the property.
THE RAILWAY RACE.
THE RAILWAY RACE. MIDLAND RAILWAY TO TAKE UP THE {RUNNING. A Derby correspondent understands that the Midland and Glasgow and South-Western Com- panies contemplate an early response to the challenge of the East and West Coast companies, who have lately reduced the time of the journey between London and Glasgow to eight and a half hours. Engines are being made with a view to considerably accelerating the speed of the Glasgow day express in each direction, and the possibility of running between Leeds and Car- lisle without a stop is being considered. The pressure of Scotch and London customers is said to be the reason that has induced the Midland to reduce their present running time.
"GENERAL" BOOTH'S TOUR.
"GENERAL" BOOTH'S TOUR. SPLENDID RECEPTION IN NEW ZEALAND. A Reuter's Wellington (New Zealand) tele- gram on Friday says:—"General" Baoth, of the Salvation Army, has arrived here from Cape Colony. Vast crowds of people assembled to welcome him, and he was received on landing by the Governor and municipal authorities. Crowded meetings were afterwards held at the Opera. House, where lectures were delivered on the General's social scheme last night. The Hon. R. J. Seddon, Premier, presided, and the other Cabinet Ministers and a number of mem- bers of Parliament were also present.
RAILWAY BRIPGES.
RAILWAY BRIPGES. THE CARLYLIAN SOCIETY'S AGI- TATIfON. A reply has been received by Mr. Isaac Watts, secretary to the Roath Carlylian Society, Cardiff, in answer to the memorial sent to the Secretary of State anent the condi- tion of Bute-street Bridge. The letter states that the Secretary of State was unable to comiply with the prayer and the memorial with reference to the alleged dangerous character of the railway bridges in Cardiff, as the matter was not one in which he had any iurisdiction. It appeared to be a question over which the local authority alone had control. He had, however, forwarded the memorial to the Board of Trade. A letter was subsequently received from the Board of Trade railway department asking to be supplied with two copies of the memorial with reference to the Bute-street Railway Bridge. Replies have not yet. been received from all the private persons who have been asked to interest themselves in tue matter, but Sir W. T. Lewis has written Mr. Watts, saying, "I am sorry I cannot do more than acknowledge receipt of yours of the 17th inst., with enclo- sure. as to the subject of which I am perfectly powerless."
MR. TENNYSON SMITH.
MR. TENNYSON SMITH. TEN DAYS' TEMPERANCE MISSION AT WOOD-STREET CHAPEL. A social gathering, at the invitation of Mr. John Cory, J.P., was held at Charles-street Congregational Schoolroom. Cardiff, on Friday night, for the purpose of welcoming Mr. E. Tennyson Smith, the well-known temperance advocate, who is to-night (Saturday) opening a ten days' mission at Wifeod-street C'hapel. Mr. Smith, who has just returned from Australia, poetesses a wonderful memory, and, owing to this fact, makes a feature of re-delivering some of the famous orations of J. B. Gough, under whose influence at Carnarvon Mr. Smith him- self became a total abstainer. At to-night's meeting Mr. Smith will deliver from memory the oration, "For the Sake of Others," which to foroibly affected his own career, and he will also give several of Gough's humorous stories which used to convilse his audience with laughter. The meetings will be continued every evening till Sunday evening, October 20, while a special women's' meeting will be held at the Y.W.C.A. Hall, Charles-street, next Wednesday afternoon.
