ITALIAN FINANCIAL SCANDALS.
j.' .——— ITALIAN FINANCIAL SCANDALS. A Central News telegram from Rome on Monday says:—The report of Signor Astengo on the employment cf the funds contributed for the victims of the earthquake shocks lilt Calabria makes some very grave allegations. Document* exist whijh prove that a large part of the funds was employtd for political pur- poses, while another part was distributed to fairly wealthy persons, who suffered no damage at alL For instance, th." prefect, on an order by the Homr Office, paid 8,000 lire to a pro- prietor who had lo.tt this sum in gambling. Ir. consequence of these scandals, and of the recent disclosures of frauds in the Works De- p:.rr,intnt cf the State Railways, to the extent of alonoat 150 million lire, the Marquis de Undine has decided to lay before Parliament a Bill dealing witih the reaponaibiLties of Ministers.
FREEMASONS AND THE QUEEN.
FREEMASONS AND THE QUEEN. There are members of the English Grand Lodge of Freemasons, who feel strongly that the Queen's long reign should be suitably cele- brated by members of the orasft of which lha eldest son of the Sovereign is Grand Master; and it is quite por«ible (says the "Daily News") that a great Masonic service of rejoicing may be erranged. No nioro suitable centre than St. Paul's oouM be named for suc-h a gathering. Should the suggestion commend itself to those hngt in authority, he necessary permission for the brethren to appear in clothing in public would be readily granted, and the assembly would be as brilliant a:d varied in colouring aa it would be enormous and representative of a world-wide craft. -?
WHAT IS "HOUSEWORK."
WHAT IS "HOUSEWORK." CURIOUS POINT IN THE LAW OF SERVANT AND MISTRESS. A carious case was tried by his Honour Judge Mart mean at the last sitting of the Ha.yward's Heath County-court. A nursemaid named I Sarah Meek sued her late mistress, Mrs. Grif- fit-h, for a month's wages in lieu of notice, in the following circumstances -The plaintiff's j case was that one evening she was sick in the J nursery, and that on the following morning! fjte was told by the defendant to scrub the car- pet she had soiled and hang it out in the gar- den to dry. This, however, she declined to do. M it wae no part of her duty to do "housework." Mrs. Griffith accordingly tiold her to pact up I 'her box and leave that day.—His Honour, in giving judgment, aatid that he sew nothing un- reasonable in the request made by the mistress, and it would' have been much better if the plaintiff had obeyed the order. A« a matter of strict legal nght, however, the nurse was not bound to clean up the mess she had made, as she was not engaged to do "housework." fifhe was, therefore, entitled to recover a month's wages, leys the fortnight's wages she had been paid (aa a matter of grace) when she left. -?

His lordship has already a considerable number jf teoar^ti of this class in iLe Spalding district. The Duke of Bedford has arranged to let twenty-four acres of land for allotments for the labourers of Thorney, Cambridgeshire. The arrangement has been made through the Thorney Parish Council. His Grace is an extensive landowner in that part of Cambridge- shire. » » « Mr. Kvrle Bellew, who is now in Australia, writes to deny that the Edward Lytton Bellew"' recently charged with frauds at the Higfogate Police-court is a.ny relation of his.

As many Americans have insisted that Mr. Tree's "Svengali"—make- j up and acting—was a slavish copy of that of Mr. Lack aye, who created the part in New I York, this seems to have been a very bold pro- ceeding on the part of the former lessee of the Haymarket. • • » • Two sanitary inspectors of St. Luke's entered a. refreshment house in City-road, London, kept by Mrs. Oakiey, and called for milk and cake, for: which they paid.

They stated that & body of prisoners a.t Trial Bay had formed themselves into a. "push," and unless prisoners joined the organisation their lives were unbearable.

A day or two before everything had gone satisfactorily, and now the turret, after some slight movements, stuck faet. The gauges indicated the formal pressure; there was nothing wrong 'with the turret or with the racks for rotating it; there was no perceptible leak in any of 'the pipes; and it was so impossible to assign any reason for the behaviour of the Iturret that the ccra- mittee had to go home without seeing it re- volve. That evening and the following day a complete koverhaul was made of the system of piping, and it wae then discovered that ine small, 'but important, pipe was completely chocked by a "quid" of chewed tobacco, 'which a. workman had. douhtless, let fall into it inadvertently. When this was removed the turret worked •&<) well as ever; the disquietude caused by the want of success of the day before was only increased when it WM discovered how insignificant the cause had been. From that day the naval authorities decided that in future whei*t've rpractti/cable, the power should be carried by a wire instead of ka steam pipe. -?-
HOW TO TAKE OUT PATENTS
HOW TO TAKE OUT PATENTS Many useful and novel appliances are from time to time devised which are not turned to practical account owing to want of knowledge on the part of inventors as to how to patent their inventions. We constantly receive letters askin- our advice, and, with a view to affording information as to costs and modes of procedure in applying for provisional protection and patents and registered designs or trade inarms, we have made arrangements accordingly. Any of our readers who desire such information should send a stamped envelope, enclosed to the Patent Editor, "Western Mail," Cardiff, by whom it will be handed to a thoroughly trust- worthy and experienced patent agent, who will reply fully to our correspondents; or an inter- view can be arranged on giving a few hours' notice. _—.————— --?.

| Local Amusements I "THE MIKADO" AT THE ROYAL, CARDIFF. A week of Gilbe.*t-Sullivan opera has been provided for the patrons of the Theatre Royal. 1MI'. R. D'Oyly Carte's well-known and justly- famed company opening on Monday night with an excellent performance of "The Mikado." In according praise it is diriicult to select among, the very clever impersonators and very fine singers taking part. Some of the numbers could hardly have been improved upon. The madrigal, for instance, in Act II. was sung in perfect taste by the quartette, consisting of "Yum Yum," "Pitti Sing," "Nanki Poo," and "Piih Tush," and it was encored twice before the performance was allowed to proceed. The trio, "Here's a how d'yo do," between "Ivoko" and the lovers, and the humorous description of the imaginary execution of "Nanki Poo," told by "Pitti Sing," "Koko," and "Pooh Bah," also calls for very high men- tion. The ever-popular "Tit WiLow," ae given by Mr. Charles Walenn ("Koko"), did not fail to bring down the hou.-e. It was vocife- rously encored, a fate which also awaited Mr. Helier Ie Maistre's ("The Mikado's") render- ing of the song, "The punishment fits the crime." He has an excellent voice, and his performance was an all-round good one. The three little maids. "Yum Yum," "Pitti Sing," and "Peep-Bo" were imperso- nated by Miss Adeline Vaudrey, Miss Alice Pennington, and Miss Agnes Taylor. Each ohone in her particular part, and their combined "business" was exceptionally brisk and pLea.sing. Miss Vaudrey and Miss en- Dington had a considerable vocal allotment, and they acquitted them.-elves in a manner consonant with the high character of the com- pany. The part of "Katisha," too, received a drama.tic portrayal in the hands of Miss Luuio Rene. The choruses were well sustained, and the staging reflected great credit upon the management. Praise should also dc accorded to Mr. T. Silver, the conductor, and the band. "The Mikado" will be it>pea £ ed this (Tuesday) evening. On Wednesday "The Gondoliers" will be performed, and on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday there wiil be a special production of "The Grand Duki\" The booking should be heavy. • o "MIZPAH" AT THE GRAND, CARDIFF. A large Audience assembled at the Grand Theatre on Monday evening to witness the pro- duction of "Mizpah," by Mr. Leonard Pag- dell's The drama, WiHCll is of au emotional character, is portrayed in four acts, and there is nor, a dull moment from start to finish. lhe plot is laid in Florida, and the various scenes are of the picturesque nature that one expects in a semi-tropical country. The prologue witnesses the betrothal of the hero and heroine, and in the first act they are wedded. In the second act the wife is ab- duoted by "Perrband Dias," and imprisoned in a log cabin in the woods. At a critical moment "Jack Forrest" appears on the scene and rescues the heroine, and the last act sees them united, with the punishment of the abducter. The scenery throughout is of the most elabo- rate description. The mechanical effects are well arranged, and the drawing-room scene, in particular, although quiet, is a very effective one; but the exciter,ent of the piece is wit- nessed in the swamp seenc, where the heroine is rescued by "Jack Forrest." This part is admirably taken by iSr. Leonard Pagden, whose efforts repeatedly call forth the plaudits of the audience. Miss, Francesca Strickland makes a capital "Edith Douglas," and Mr. Arthur Est- court'd "Basil Wild*" left nothing to be desired The difficult character of "liba," an Indian haaf-blood, was well taken by Mr. Cecil Clayton. The villain of the piece was Mr. Stanley Bedwell, who, judging from the howls which gre~"vd his appearance, must have given the greatest satisfaction. The comedy parts were ia the able hands of Mr. George V. Byir.-cw and Miss Veriton. Miss Edgar also contributed several excellent songs. The drama. has had a most successful run, extending over about eleven years, and is one of the best en the read. On Friday evening and Saturday afteri oon there will be an amateur performance of "Our Boys" and "The Doctor's Dilemma." Crowded audieaces are expected, and those who wish to be present had bstter secure their seats at the earliest opportunity. o THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. The imniere cineanacographe, under Hi* auc- tion of M. Trewey, delighted the a.udieuct# at the Queen-sireet Empire on Monday even- ing. This remarkable invention was a. great success upon the last visit to Cardiff, and this week it promises to be even better reee.ved than previously. The scenes piouuced are en- tirely new, and are to be especially commended for their clearness and detail. The most popuiar > lews shown were "The Disappointed Artist," "Artillery at Barcelona," "Fire Brigade Call in London; and '"Toboganing in Switzerland." Servais Le Roy. who is described as the last of the magicians, certainly takes a firet place for merit in that brotherhood. performance with the silk handkerchiefs, rabbit, watch, and egg were bewildering, but his last trick would have brought him to the stake in the days gone by. Upon tha stage were two cabinets—one sup- ported on legs about a foot' from the stage, the other suspended from the iiies about 6ft. above the top of the first. It was possible to sea on every eide, and the magician opened them and showed that they were perfectly empty. Then he got into the lower one, and shut the door. In less than half a minute a handsome young lady stepped out of it, and pulling open the door of the upper one dis- closed the magician. Then she closed the door again, re-opening it almost immediately, but the wizard was gone, and a second later was seen running up through tne audience. The Four Vampires were a grea.t success in their pan- tomime, "A Cockney in France," whilst the Three Keziaha gave a very interesting per- formance upon the silver ladders. Atlas a.nd Vulcana tossed dumb-bells and weights of l^owt., 22cwt., and even more, as if they were merely ordinary dumb-bells. The other turns —Miss Sable Fern, vocal actreM: Miss Flo D'Orville, and Miss Rosa Bell, comediennes— were each of them excellent, and deserve the highest praise. NEWPORT. The most captious critic could not grumble at the bill provided at the Newport Empire this week, and the way it was received on Monday evening augurs well for future sue ccs3. The Dayton Family occupy the foremost place, and their performa.nce fully justifies this distinction. The family go through a re- maikably clever "turn," and their movements are wonderfully free and graceful. Albert Athm and Lizzie Collins pay a return visit, and Monday evening delighted their audiences with a. charming little burleique song and dance cabled "Marriage Bells." The two Americans, Booker and Narbis, were very original, and the eccentricities of the former and the vocaiism of the lady evoked rounds of applause. The Howard .Brothers appeared in an exhibition of clairvoyance and the Qua.glieni Troupe of Ath- letes, Miss Nelly OJdene, vocalist and come- dienne Geraghty and Gilligan, ivantankerous comedians: and heno, musical eccentric and juggler, provided entertaining "turns." SWANSEA. The Five Jees, in "The Musical Smithy," we-r, the principal attraction at Mr. Oswald Stoll's High-sitreet Empire. Swansea, on Monday even- ing. These clever artistes, who produce sweet musical sounds from anvils, tongs, horseshoes, and all the other indispensable utensils of a blacksmith's shop, were accorded an excellent reception. Frank and Lillie Aubyn. in "The (Cook and Slavey;" Evalo and Co., in the,r ecoentric juggling, "Harum Scarum," and th* Brothers Almaio, in their acrobatic perfor- mance, all met with the warmest applause. These attractions, with the well-known turns of Mr. Geo Kingston, the Reveredos, Dex- teria and Geo. Douglas, and Kitty No'an. complete a programme of m-ore than ordinary merit. _:0:- PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. Mr, StoH's popular St. Mary-street hill is this week visited by a moat remarkable curio- sity, a man with a beard nearly 8ft. in length, The owner of this extraordinary hirsute appen- dage is a Cheshire farmer named Mr. A. Broad- hurst. Mr. Broadhurst himself is rather over 5!ft. in height, so hIs remarkable beard is nearly 2 £ ft. longer than himself. The famous Tichborne Claimant also remains for the week e>plaining Aldridge's picture of the celebrated trial, which lasted 188 days, during wthioh period 300 witnesses were called for the pro- secution and 385 for the defence. This trial may safely be called the most remarkable of modern timee, and its cost is calculated at about £ 2,000,000 sterling. The picture shows the judges, officers of the court, witnesses in the box, counsel for and against, and the Claimant himself. Every portrait is taken from life, and the picture itself is a painting which is a credit to the artist. The other attractions. which have been so popular during the past week, also remain on view. Fpr. the Christmas holiday? JptT^Pafations are being made- in an elaborate style for the "Fourth Annual Carnival," which promises to far excel its pre- decessors. The giant Wilkins, who is over 8ft. in height, will be included amongst the numerous attractions.

WORTH THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A POUND. The Continental! newspapers have been much interested of late in a question propounded as to what is the most expensive product in the world. The answer given by Wilfred Fonvieile is charcoal thread, employed as filaments for incandescent electric lamps, which m the shape of filaments for 30 candle power lamps is worth over £ 3,0Q'J per pound. It requires 1,5CO,OUO of thi'e filaments to ma.ke a pound, and their total length would be 187 miles.
INSOMNIA AND DRUGS.
INSOMNIA AND DRUGS. Dr. Tom Robinson told an audience at the Working Men's College on Saturday night that sleep shceuld be taken amidst the best ventilation, and first sleep was ever the best. "Forty winks" were good after dinner, but reading in bed was one of the most baneful habits. Insomnia was the indigestion of the bram, and those who sough, drugs in allevia- tion of the malady lowered the quality of their blcod as well as their moral character. There should be stronger legislative restriction on their sale than exists at present.

A JOINT PRAYER
A JOINT PRAYER The unusual spectacle oi about 000 uatives assembled on the slopes of Table Hill, Gra- hamstown, Cape Colony, was witnessed the other afternoon. The object of this gather- ing was to pray for rain, and to supplicate the Almighty to arrest the progress of the march of rindeipest upon the Colony. The meeting was most orderly throughout, and the pro- ceedings were marked by great earnestness and solemnity, as if the people fully realised the danger from the twofold visitation of a water famine and the rinderpest.

COAL IN NATAL.
COAL IN NATAL. The Natal coal output for October, although in excess of the output for the previous month, does not come up to the record output for August by over 1,000 tons, and it is also less than the output for last July. It is how- ever, the third beet return the Colony h-aa had, and brings the totaJ output for the year, so far as it has gone, up to 177.736 tons, aa against 129.970 tons for the corresponding ten months of last year, an increase of 37 per cent. The total output for 1895 was 160,115 tons, so that the output for the past ten months is aJready in excess of the total output for the whole of last year. 6

INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS)
INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS) FORTHCOMING VISIT TO CARDIFF. To the Editor o<f the "Evening Express." Sir,—What wiiith the battle of the sites and the numerous matters which at this time of the year engross public attention, one very impor- tant matter for those who interest themselves in the reputation of Cardiff for hospitality is in danger of being overlooked. I refer to the forthcoming visit of the Incorporated Society I of Mitoiicians, which body will pay us a visit during the last week of the year. This society is the great and representative society of musi- cians of Great Britain, and nearly all the greatest people in the profession belong to it. The Duke of Edinburgh is the president. It is expected that about 300 members will visit Cardiff, including many of the great leaders of the profession. The society has visited eleven or twelve of the groat towns, including Edin- burgh and Dublin, in all of which places they have received the most cordial and hospitable receptions, and it is to be earnestly hoped that Cardiff will not be behind in giving her visitors such a welcome as they have received at other towns. In connection with the visit the maytWr I has vary kindly offered to give a reception. The social committee will, with the assistance of some outside aid, entertain the visitors at a I dance. On Wednesday and Thursday even- ings grand concerts will be givai, to thow the society what our local music is like, and the general public cannot do better to show their appreciation of this visit than by taking tickets for this concert (which may be obtained at ilr. Lewis's, Duke-street), and, while paying a compliment to the town's guests, secure ''or themselves a great musicad treat. On Friday even- ing the society's annual banquet will be held at tha Park Hotel. The secretary, Mr. W. B. Broad, of 47, St. Helen's-road, Swansea, will give persons desirous of gomg to this or the dance full particulars. It is most earnestly hoped that all lovers of music in Cardiff and the neighbourhood will not miss this opportunity of giving a hearty we.come to these visitors, tAw worthy representatives of British music.—I km, &c., E. W. M. CORBETT, Chairman Social Oonul1ittoo.
THE IRISH EISTEDDFOD.
THE IRISH EISTEDDFOD. LETTER FROM THE HERALD BARD OF THE GOESEDD. A good deal of public interest is now being taken throughout Ireland in the Irish Eistedd- fod, or "Eeis Ceoil." In response to a re- quisition presented to him, the Mayor of Cork lias convened a public meet- ing to 'bo held at Cork on the 17th inst., to forward the organisation of the festival. Similarly the mayor of Limerick has convened a public meeting of the citizens of Limerick for the 18th inst. for a like purpose. The Irish Eisteddfod has also aroused much interest in Wales, and. the committee of the "i'eis Ceoil" are in receipt of a letter from the Herald Bard in the Welsn National Gorsedd of the Eisteddfod, showing the sympathetic interest in the him Peis movement, which is entertained by those prominently associated with the Welen Eisteddfod. The letter, which is a nio*t -uteiestiiig one, runs — "Cardiff, December 7, 1896." "Dear Sir,—I see from various papers that arrangements are perfecting for the holding of the "Jt'eis Ceoil' next year at Dublin. I hold the office of 'Drwydd Fardd,' or Herald Bard, in the Welsh National Gorsedd of our Eistedd- fod, and feel that some connection ehouiid exist of a friendly character between the two insti- tutions, similar as they are in nature and aim. I think that some approach has been made, but I now write in my personal capacity to ask for fuller information to bring before our secretary and others in our circle. I think that, at any rate, a deputation from us should attend the festival, cf which, should the time be favou- ra.ble, I should much like tc) form one, as I have acquaintance with and interest in Ireland. Will you, therefore, favour me with your views, either formally or personally, and I will bring them before our members similarly?—Hoping you will have great success, believe me to be yours faithfully, "T. H. THOMAS." Another letter, similarly sympathetic, has been received by the Feis committee from a prominent Welshman, viz., Mr. R. L. Davies, secretary of the literary committee of the Welsh Eisteddfod for 1897. This shows the great inte- rest taken in Wales in the Irish Eisteddfod, or "Feis Ceoil"—an interest which is very much appreciated in Ireland amongst those concerned in the organising of the fete.
STATESMEN IN STAINED GLASS.
STATESMEN IN STAINED GLASS. It is not often we hear of living statesmen in fitained glass, but the "Sunday Companion" publishes this week a, picture of a church window in which the councillors of King Saul are Lord Salisbury, Mr. Gladstone, and the late Lord Beaconsfield. More astonishing still, the King is no less a person than the sage of Chelsea—Thomas Carlyie—while David has the head and shoulders of Adelina Paui. Imagination plays no part in this remarkable window. An the figures are lifelike, and can be recognised at the first glance by any one who has a knowledge of public men. The church in which the window can be seen is at Eltham, near Folke- stone.
WELSHMEN IN SOUTH AFRICA)
WELSHMEN IN SOUTH AFRICA) A very pleasant gathering of the Oape Cam- brian Society took place on the 18th ult. in the society's rooms, Cape Town, under the nresi- dency of Professor Lewis. The occasion was the presentation of a purse and an address to Mr. J. L. Edwards, who has for many years and until recently been the indefatigable hon. secre- tary of the society.—Professor Lewie, in making the presentation, referred in cordial terms to the services of Mr. Edwards, both in the revivaJ of tlle society and in the zealuus dis- charge, with Cambrian enthusiasm, of t, e heavy routine drnies which had devolved upon him.—Mr. Edwards suitably responded, and assured the members of his continued interest in the socnety.—The meeting was well attended, and great heartiness prevailed. _w.- .?- -?
PRECEDENCE OF ROMAN CATHOLIC…
PRECEDENCE OF ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELATES. The London correspondent of the "York- shire Post" learns that the question of the precedence of Roman Catholic prelates has been under consideration by very high autho- rity. In future, Roman Catholic prelates, whether cardinals or not, are to rank after all English bishops, even suffragans. The case seems fairly simple, since the Church of England is established in this realm, and Roman Catholics are merely members of a dissenting community, ancient and powerful though it be. Nor can they complain of this position, for, since the voice of their own Church declares English Orders to be null and void, to grant precedence to any possessors of Roman orders would seem to lend some countenance to these pretensions.

There can be no surer sign of popularity than the enormous demand al j over the country for Lipton's Delicious Teas. They are appreciated everywhere I for their delicate flavour and exquisite aroma, and undoubtedly have attained j the pinnacle of fame. MILLIONS DRINK THEM DAILY. It is computed that millions of people must daily be drinking and enjoying these delicious Teas, fresh from the sweet-scented island of Ceylon.

UPTONS LIPTONS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS TEAS. TEAS. LARGEST SALE IN THE WORLD. It is beyond doubt that Lipton's Delicious Teas have no rival for the above title. All other competitors have long since been out-distanced, and day by day the gap becomes greater, just as the tea-drinking public find they are able to get an ideal Tea blended especially to suit the water of the district in which they reside, giving at once a lovely cup of agrant Tea. LIPTON Controls the Tea Market Lipton has paid in duty, for his week's clearance of Tea, the largest cheque ever received by Her Majesty's Customs, London, £ 35,365 9s. 2d.
