A pathetic .tory has Roue the rounds of this dis I trict, writes a Llanelly reporter, in which a ppor widow, at the advanced age of 78, of the name of Margaret Thomas, living ata cottage known as Bryn- mawr, near St. David'a Colliery, Lla*el)y, who for 20 years has been a martyr to great weakness and dropsy depriving her of the use of her general strength. She eventually became a perfect cripple, and failed to eavc her rooms. 'Jhe neighbours assisted her in every way they could. In this state she determined to apply for parish relief, and the generous Guardians allowed her 2s. ro. a week, which ¡'ad to pay rent and food for seven days. Her doctor had utterly railed to give her any relief in way of medicine. She had spent pounds on one thing and another, and at last broke down. Nothing to do her good this side of the grave. One morning a cloui passed over with a sma silver lining in a friend telling her to try aad get a 2e. 9d. bottle of Morel's Sovran. How could she get it, and only 2e E1. a week. At last, after a great sacrifice, bbe bought one, and then found a true iiiend-her troubles left her, her-paini gone, her crutch put away. She can now walk and have a look round, and go to her chape!, which she has not been able to do for many years. Anyone wh > doubts this story, go or write to WIDOW THOMAS, Brynmawr, near llryn, Llanelly. Sold by all Chemists, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. per bottle, or from MOREL'S DEPOT, LLANELLY AFTER THE INFLUENZA. All patients who have suffered from the Influenza agree in stating that the after effects are more disagreeable than the malady itself. The feelings of depression, low spirits, help- lessness, and want of "gO" are almost un- bearable. The best treatment for this is generous diet atjdpteMttnt tonics. The best tonic yet prepared, and. one peculiarly suit- able for this malady 1.1- GW1LYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, THE VEGETABLE TONIC. SPECIMEN OF TESTIMONIA L INFLUENZA.

TELEPHONE NO. 15L South Wales Daily fost FRIDAY, MAY 17 1895. NOTES & COMMENTS I We'-ar^gettJOigp-tofse: thafctke. Jfust w.iM- never lack for a friend at the Swansea Board of Guardians while the Rev. John ¡DariN remains a membu. Tkfa roygeutle- | man will not perant his colleague# to for- get the iVf, and if, as was the case yester- day, he has no grievance of his own to ser?e a1? a pretext, then with that chivalry characteristic of' him he must needs shoulder the cross of somebody else. And shoulder the cross of somebody else. And we are not ungrateful. Our best brand of pofcti-v has been ladled out for the benefit of the Rev. John Davies, and pleasant- moaients have been given tc> his friends. Reciprocity is an admirable principle. Yesterday Dr. Gomer Lewis assisted to make the vocal effort of his brother divine a duet. Certain comments as to the worth- I d lessneas of Yankee degrees aile believed to have grated on the nerves of the estimable doctor, Likewise the disparagement of members of the cloth as members of the Assessment Committee. More in playfulness than in anger he suggested that the Post believed him a duffer. Which is not the case. He is a. very good all-round peg, and his position as pastor of a big Church and constant contact with the poor constitute him an excellent guardian. But for assessment work pegs which fit into square holes are required Hence the misfits. Newspaper reporters would make the poorest kind of shop assistants, and one could not te isonably expect sailors to prove good "bus drivers. It is no reflection on the cloth to suggest that prolability leans ht-avv against ministers contributing to the strength of an assessment com- mittee. In the neighbouring town of Llanelly, where cki^yuien aud minis- ters occupy all exceptionally powerful poSitr n public opinion some years ago insisted upon both classes being excluded from even the School Boar.! And it is a matter of history that the latter has been all the better for it. So far as the truth can be ascertained, the impression produced on the pubiic mind by the reports of Wednesday's pro- ceedings at the Coun il is rlistinctiy un- favourable to the course pursued by the members. There is even a disposition to blame Councillor Viner Leeder for yielding to the pressure t) the extent of with- drawing his resolution without forcing the matter to a vote, so that the supporters of namby-panibyism might disclose them- selves. The pity of the whole matter is that the personal aspect of the question should have been permitted to overshadow more important aspects. We should have been glad if no official had even an indirect con- nection with the matter since in that event comment would have been more free and action le s fettered by personal con- sideration. The most serious elements involved is the apparent defectiveness in municipal treatment of finances, coupled with the wastefulness of the mem- bers in their handling of public money. One would imagine that enough-ofthe pubiic rates had been tost in legal costs and charges without pnving the bills of London agents untaxed, and furthermore making them a present of some hundreds of pounds. It is not as if Messrs. Sharpe & Co. had reduced their scale of costs every item has been charged up to the hilt. The sub-commit- tee which consented to the rebate being withheld owe a prompt explanation to the ratepayers. The Catholic of this week announces the appointment of Father Mostyn as the bishop appointed for the new Roman Catholic Vicariate of Wales, He is the scion of an old Welsh family in North Wales, the Mostyns of Mostyn. The crea- tion of the Vicariate is the outward and visible sign of the belief of the Pope that jl the time has arrived for making a deter- mined effort to win Wales back to Roman Catholicism. It is unquestionable that the Catholicism. It is unquestionable that the course of political events has prepared the way for the crusade. For ages the Welsh were among the most uncompro- mising foes of the Papacy. The influence of Mr. Gladstone's great personality nowhere manifested itself more strikingly than in Wales alter the schism of ltfbC>, when it succeeded in inducing Welsh Non- conformists in a great measure to push back into the background a faith and a prejudice not only religious but racial 4s well Welshmen as Puritans had a fierce hatred for everything savouring of Rome and as Welshmen a scarcely less pro- I 1 nounced dislike for the Irish, whom thsy identified with Roman Catholicism. There are thousands of people living in Wales at I the present time who if they do not believe all Roman Catholics to be insh, certainly believe all the Irish to be Roman Catholics. Religious and racial antipathies placed an impassible barrier between the Welsh and Irish wherever brought into contact, not only in Great Britian, but in the United. States and in the British Colonies. It used to be said in Liverpool that a Welshman and all Irishman could never be induced to vote for the same candidate. In America the racial feud had terrible consequences for the Molly Macguires secret society of Pennsylvania and Ohio showed a special hatred for the Welsh. The new crusade of the Roman Catholics, despite the modifying influences of the Home Rule Bill, will meet many dis- couragements. Wales nevir really took to Roman Catholicism. If one fact more than another is clearly disclosed in Mr. Newell's history of the Welsh Church it is the obstinacy manifested by the Kelts in resisting the pretensions of Rome. For centuries the resistance was effective, and it w ts only when the Kelts of Brittany aud Ireland had yielded to the Romiiii supremacy that the ancient Church of Wales consented to a half-hearted allegiance to the Pope. Ten years ago the possibility of it relapse of Wales to Roman Catholicism would have provoked a fiery protest from Welsh Nonconformity. But since then political expediency has moderated the old hatreds of dissent.
