Sh^ eventually became a perfect e-ripple, and failed to rave her rOGms. The neighbours a*siiteu her in tvery way they could. In this gtato the determined to apply for parish lelief, MId the generoue Guardians allowed her 2s. cd. a week, which had to pay rent and food for Leven days. Her doctor had utterly failed 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 thij side 0: the grave. One morning a cloud passed over witha sma silver lining in a friend telling her to try and get a 2a, Sd. bottle of Morel's Sovran. How could she get it. and only 2s. fd. a week. At last, after a great sacrifice, she bought one, and then found a true iriend—her trouoieo left her, her pains gone, her crutch put away. She can now "lklk and have a hck round, and ge to her chapei, which she has not been able to do for many years.

TCESDAY, MAY 21; 1895. NOTES & COMMENTS People to whom the Swacsea Docks rspresent the chief industry of the town have recently got into the habit of talking of the trade in anthracite as their chief sustaining hope—as the silver lining in the cloud of industrial depression. The traffic in tin-plates lanquishes the ordinary coal trade is quiet, but that of anthracite is fairly booming, A big demand for it has sprung up on the Pacific coast, and Swansea is getting ail the benefit oi the boom. The reason of the sudden growth in the demand in San Francisco is said to be due to the discovery tha.t anthracite is thb best possible fuel to use in producing uafcor-gas and for kindred purposes. Whatever the cause the effect is locally of the most en- couraging character. It is not unnatural to lind that a feeling of impatience is felt with the apathy of the authorities who might have lent a helping hand to raise the Wasp and recover the bodies of her unfortunate crew. The Harbour Trust is specially singled out for censure. It is pointed out that not a word was said of the matter at the recent meeting of the Trust, although the Wasp was a boat employed entirely in the waters within the jurisdiction of the Harbour authorities. The censure is perhaps uot quite deserved, as no one called the atten- I tion of the Trust to the matter, and too neglect in the circumstances may have: been due iess to want of heart than to want of thought. Bnt now that the diffi- culties of raising the boat have been demonstrated, and voluntary aid has gone nearly as far as it can go, the Harbour Trustees will surely not remain passive. They might at least place the resources of the Harbour Authcrity in tackle, etc., at the disposal of those nobly striv.ngfor the widow and the orphan. Something might also be done in ascertaining what the Trinity Brethren or the Fishery Board can and will do in the way of assistance. In the meanwhile an effort is about to be made to secure the wherewithal for floating the Wasp should the help of the Authorities be withheld. It .Us- ryes to succeed. That the boat, with its probable freight of human bodies, should have been left practically undisturbed within gunshot of land for more than a month is a fact scarcely flattering to us as a community. When a colliery disaster ravages a district the search for the dead is invariably pursued with vigour and dili- gence, often under greater difficulties than present themselves in the ease of the I Wasp. Such poor comfort as the families of the victims can extract from possession of the bodies of those they ioved should certainly not be withheld from them when, in all probability, it can be secured by the expenditure of a few pounds. We trust I that tbii view of it will be accepted by those who have the means of helping, and I that the best will be made of an unutterably sad affair. The wisdom of the Baptist body in I selecting the Rev. J. G. Greenhough for the highest distinction at its command was .justified in the sermons and lecture delivered by him at Swansea. He is a thinker of power and courage. There was an invigorating thoroughness in the way he I dissected that wild impulsiveness which manifests itself in a destructive Socialism, crude in conception^ suicidal in its ten- I dencies. Human regeneration even in the social sense cannot be achieved at a bound; true progress moves with slow, reluctant feet, and fears the ra-action which follows excessive haste. Men of the type of the f Rev. J. G. Greenhough are faithful to their ¡ true mission when they strive to steady the reckless and to moderate expectations unlikely ever to be realized. The story of human strugglings upward demonstrates the truth which the Baptist divine emphasised that improvement begins with th#individual, and communi- cates itself gradually to communities and commonwealths. Aud at no period of the I world's history was probably less cause for I I losing heart than that at which we live. For the last hundred years the domain of civilization hasbsen steadily enlarging, and I a new spirit has entered into the treatment of man by man. The uplifting of the masses has been going on without a pause until the social fabric has been completely transformed. If much remains to be done, much also has been done, and the forces are actively at work which operate to much also has been done, and the forces are actively at work which operate to reduce the sum total of human misery, raise the standard of human comfort, and bring colour and wholesomeness into lives hitherto grey and squalid. He only can be I. depressed as to the outlook of the human race who shuts his eyes to the manifold signs of the swinging march made onward, and fails to note how wide a gap already yawns between the condition of the people of to-day, and that of the people who pre- ceded them. It is only when we consider bow our Íl rafathers lived a generation or two back, the food they ate, the houses which lodged them, their laborious, cheerless existence, that we gather some vague, indefinite idea of the changes stealthily stealing over the social system, and in the light of its lesson learn to anticipate the future with hopeful hearts. The good old days" of other ages en- shrined in Rong and 3tory gave of their goodness only to a few. The glories of other civilizations whether Babylonian, Egyptian, or Roman did not comprehend whole peoples. While victories were being won, and art was yielding its triumphs, the masses carried bleeding backs, and groaned that others might la'.igh. Mark Twain barely missed achieving a notable work when he wroto A Yankee at the Court of King Ar The idea of showing the c'aik back-ground to the knightly graces of the days of chivalry was worthy of a better result than a book of thin American humour. Despite wars and rumours of wars—industrial and otherwise—-and the I countless ills which still afflict us, it is we who live in good new days "—the best yet known to the human race. The best dfsyi are for the future—for the I children yet to come, and for their children's children. Nothing can arrest this resistless sweep forward; it can only be checked even lw the unnatural mental 1, fermentations productive of red Socialism, I which Oil the Continent has developed into the fiercer madness of Anarchism and II Nihilism. Socialists in the aensa of desiring social progress all are who think i at all, but the motive power for this must I I come from the individual yielding to the I elevating influences which gently beat upon I him, and not from the fantastic sources of 1 ires. political doctrinaires.

}:W" OUR PURITAN FORE FATHERS.
}:W" OUR PURITAN FORE FATHERS. LECTURE AT SWANSEA, The Rev. J. G, Greenhough, M.A., presi- pent of the Baptist Union, whose eloquent discourses filled the Mount Pleasant Chapel on Sunday in connection with the anniver- sary services, gave a lecture on the subject of "Our Puritan Forefathers"on Menday even- ing to a large and appreciative audience. The chair was occupied by Mr. William Davies, a deacon oi the church. The lecturer, in a speech of over an hour's duration, traced the history of Noncon- formity from its earliest days, until it became a recognised power in the land. He described in humorous, and at times sarcastic language, the characters of the Stuart kings, and of their counsellors. Speaking of Laud, he be- lieved him to be sincere, but very bigoted, and his sincerity did not excuse his bigotry. (Applause.) He had a keen eye for de- tails, but no great or original thought ever entered his mind. The religious intolerance of Laud, he believed, had more effect in bringing about the great civil war that followed than the civil tyranny of the other adviser of the king, Straf- ford. He excused the Puritans for the intolerance they manifested when in power attributing it to excess of the zeal. The Presbyterians he mentioned as being ia particular very intolerant ci other beliefs. The Independents, Baptists, and Quakers, were the first in this land that claimed religious liberty, and what was more, allowed it to others. (Applause.) The lecturer read some interesting minutes from a Baptist Church book of about the time of the Restoration as examples of this intoler- ance. The Puritans, like some people 11l these modern times, tried to make people Aood by Act of Parliament. JHe believed the superiority of England in the thrift and industry of her working elapses, in the manliness of her citizens, and the beauty of her poetry was due to the spirit given birth to and fostered by our Puritan fathers. He hoped they would prove true to the traditions of their ancestors. In response to a vote of thanks accorded him on the motion of the chairman, Mr. Greenhough expressed his pleasure in having had the opportunity of speaking to Swansea people on this subject which ought to be of special and supreme interest to them.
THE EMPIKE. SWANSEA.
THE EMPIKE. SWANSEA. The bright particular star at the Empire this week is Miss Peggy Pryde, whose appear- ance on Monday evening was welcomed by a crowded house Miss Pryde has a piquant style all her own, and she at oace installed herself a favourite in the popular estima- tion. Her first song, it ain't all Violets" took the popular fancv immediately, and when she gave The New Woman Up-to- date," tne enthusiasm was extreme. The patter introduced in the latter song was very smart and telling, and it was only natural that there should be a firm demand for an encore. This was responded to with a song descriptive or a coster girl's out- ing at Southend-on-the-Sea, the airs and graces with which she adorned herself proving irresistible us a means of provoking laughter. This by no means satiated the appetites of those present, and Miss Pryde had to respond to another re-call, this time telling of a visit to Paris George McCulloch. the eccentric comedian is with us once more, but though ,tve heard him in songs that are far mov* to hiS etyle, still he went well, and afforded considerable amusement by his vagaries. His best song was that of The Railway Porter," which was an encore contribution. A remarkable performance was that given by Apollo, the strong man, who is another striking example of what training may effect. He shifted heavy weights about with ease, and after lying down on the stage and holding up a bar bell weighing 1201bs. with a man gat on each end, he stood up and held an additional man on his shoulders, twisting them round and round, notwithstanding the severe strain en him. But his greatest feat was the supporting of a roundabout whilst five tyan went hpinning round on the horses. For this feat he was loudly and deservedly applauded. Another extraordinary performance which was gone through by Surina, whose grotesque contortions, taking place as thev did on a darkened stage, had a very weird effect. The Alexandres gave a performance, which for genuine laughter-making headed the pro- gramme. The trio are capable artistes all round, and the pantomimic absurdities introduced into their contribution were very smartly carried through. In addition they gave a musical medley which was much enjoyed. Madame Lalo gave a graceful ex- hibition on the bicycle, and introduced a charming effect with coloured eiecirio lights within the large wheel. The A wo Violets gave a pretty dance, and Mark Sheridan afforded fun over his song "At tbe football match last Saturday." Taken right through the programme is a good one, and excellent business ought to be the result of getting such a company together. -0

GRlCKET.
GRlCKET. A wag onee described W- U. Graee as II the daddy of 'em all. Mr. Kon&ld Bill is the latest acquisition to the Sketty ranks. The fielding of the Morriston Alliance last Saturday was a treat to witness. There is great joy on the hill-top over St. .Jude's defeat of Morriston Alliance: .Jude's defeat of Morriston Alliance: The Neath Y.M.C. A. intends giving another trial to the fast howler, Ho. et Morgan. The feature of the match between Aber- avoa and Neath Y,M.( '.A. on Saturday was the hitting of W. L. Evans. The new Lianelly pro," Jeuner. is doing well just now. lde took eight of the ten Morriston wickeis on Saturday, W. C..lenkins, tho St. Jude's ca.pta.in, is evidently in fine bowling form, fcr again last Saturday lie took 7 wickets for 16 runs. Eidridge has already taken 15 wickets this season for 72, runs. As a result, he is deeply impressing the good people of Wiltshire. The Neath A..M.C.A. scored freely last Saturday, putting on 95 for nine w cketa against 64. Not bad scoring for youngsters. It would seem as thongh some of the Sliettv batsmen were a triiio over anxious last Saturday for three of thtBi were run out. The Newport cricket team will be stronger I than ever this year. They will be assisted later in the season by F. A. Phillips, the old Oxford blue, C, Potts, the old Gowerton cricket veteran, ¡ has recently taken up his residence in sketty, and on Saturday made his first appearance for the local team. The chief honours of Singleton's victory over Sketty on Saturday were borne away by Davies, who bowled finely, and Bill Smith, whose innings of 24 was invaluable to his sida. Sir John Llewelyn witnessed the Peniier- gaer v, Swansea Church fixture on Saturday j last, and expressed himself delighted with Solomon's admirable innings of 30 for tue Church. The serious indisposition of Dr. Perkins, of Sketty, is matter for great regret in local cricket circles, for the doctor was the strong tower of the Sketty batting, I sincerely hope that 11e will be able to weilu the willow aguin later in the year. Lest too sweeping a conclusion should be formed respecting the abilities of Swansea's new pro from Saturday's results let it he remembered that Eidridge started irs much the same way. And what a pillar of strength I be ultimately beca. u; eo Old J. C. Shaw, who has long since gone to his great uc^ount, used to say that he could piLch the balls where he liked, but the big beggar with the big black beard always hits 'ens where he likes. At least so says a North Country contemporary. I understand that Ernest Perkins, the Swansea lawn tennis champion, is likely to assist the Sketty C.C. in their league fixtures this season. He is a steady bat, with good defence, and should prove a great acquisition to last year's runners-up for the shield. A team made up of Lianelly footballers, past and present, would knock spot." off any cricket combination brought together in the tin-plate town. it would include among others Messrs. F. N. Powoll, Geo. Watkcys, Dan Williams. D. L. Joseph, G. 1J. Lewis, J. I G. Lewis, J. Howell, Cliil Bowen—in fact the piek of the club. At Swansea the sa*ne rem.u-k would apply, but not to quite the same extent. A good start eouid fie made, however, with "Bauky and Dr. Reid. Sjsot-tsnian writes :—I am sure that it is net your wish that your correspondents should make assertions which are not correct. I am also sure that your comments on the Gowerton affair were made alter hearing their views, which is hardly fair to the Swansea League. You give us in a recent. issue the rules of the Sheffield and Swansea League dealing with registration, and you went on to comment as follows :— This comparison ot rules of the twu leagues shows that there is a difference of two months in the date of sending in lists. The advantage the Sheffield League rules have over the Swansea League is that where there is any bother over the registration of members there is time to rectify omisMtifts, Ac., but in the case of the Swansea League they stipulate that the lists, must be in on May 1st,; then they meet on JLiv 6th to consider those lists, and play commences on* Mav 6ih. Peniiergaer reported" that they could not get the signed list ready for May 5th nor May 6th. Consequently a" resolution had to_ be pa?sed at the last meeting that the list sub- mitted should be accepted cn ""or and the signature? r .1.+- "rJ 1 7 "u'cu 'tu later crate. Uowei ton sent in a list, signed as far as possible, but the signatures oi four of their members were not for the moment obtainable hence they cannot pluy them. In the first place you say tha.t the advan- tage of the Sheffield rules is that the date ot registration is March, viz., two months earlier, than the Swansea date of registration, then you go on to ksay ',Peti,ergaei: could Dot get the list signed ready for May 5ih nor May 6th.' How you can recou- cile these two statements, I fail to understand. Then as to Gowerton s four names. The ditIerence bctweeu Gowerton and Peniiergaer is just this, Peniiergaer presented at the league meeting a list of names, which were passed conditionally that the signatures of the men should be sent to the secretary before tbe Friday following. Gowerton did not submit the names of the four men they wanted to play to the committee, but sent the signatures on the Weanesday to the secretary and expected him to pass them without putting them before his committee (which he had no power to do}) and because he did not do as they wanted him to they resigned. Very sportsmanlike conduct, surely I leave your readers to judge who is right and who is wrong.
SHOOTING.
SHOOTING. Sergeant Ball's magnificent 98 does count in the shooting fer the Welsh Twenty. It is not likely to be beaten this time. 1 am told j that the Merthyr Vale man was helped a bit by lucL. He was about the last to shoot, and hit 34 at the 600 wa; got when the sun had gone down, and the conditions for the time were simply perfect. It was a splendid per- formance nevertheless.
ICYCLING.
CYCLING. Ci CLING. Every cyclist whom I have known to be in the saddle for any length oi time has atone the saddle for any length oi time has atone time or another experienced some miraculous escape from coming a "mighty cropper." and in most cases the uder is utterly unable to ex- plain how heavertcddiiiasier, nereis one ease from Paris which fully illuistratea the peculiar fact:—"Au almost miraculous escape from being killed was experienced by a bicyclist hate on Friday. He was riding a light racing machine without a brake, and while descenu- ing the steep incline ivom the Trocadero he lost control of the machine." The Bridge Jena, which was in front of I hun, was too crowded with vehicles for him i to pass over it, and the turn of th road leading to the river s bank was too sharp tor him sal"«dy to attempt it, so ho aimeu his bicycle at the parapet. at the side of the path. The machine, wiiicn was travelling at a great speed, struck the curustonc and bounued right over the parapet, falling with its riaer on the qiviy 30it, beneath. The man was not much bi.rt, and the machine had onlv one of the wheels buckled. That the "pot is a I' dangerous one is shown by the fact that no fewer than six bicyclists have been killed I there this year. I have no desire to wage a wordy warfare with Mr. C. H. Larette, the able and facile eveding correspondent of the Athletic JS/eu-s. but indeed I must, object to him or anyone else making the absurd statement that Kosser is a Cardiffian, He is a. Swanseaite down to the ground, and we are ail proud of buu. I remember when Arthur Linton, like Lord Byron, woke one morning to hud himself II lamous after the Cuca Cup l'aèe, ■how the Cardiff dailies in particular suoke of the Aberaman champ on as '• Arthur Linton, of Cardiff.' No, no, Mr. La.re.te, we aren't having any, A friend of mine who has just been initiated into the mysteries of the whirling wi eel came into the office this morning with 1 his countenance gleaning with ueiight and waving his long aims, aftci the manner of an < ecstatic coet, described in glowing terms, a j ride which he had taken on Sunday from Swansea to Port Eynon. The route which he mapped out for himself and his friend 1 Johnson was the following :—Swansea, l Sketty, Fairwood Common, Park Mil!, Pen- S maen, Nelson, Keynoldstone, Port Eyn A J description from a novice such as iie wouid ( be interesting reading. But even now the great outcry of his life is that he is over- 1 burdened with work. Therefore, I'll do with It him this time, what that kind woodman did 1 with the lucky tree—I'll spare him.
