MUMBLES AND GOWER. ISOLATION HOSPITAL QUESTION. AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY. An inquiry conducted by the Glamorgan- shire County Council was held at the offices of the Clerk of the Swansea Board of Guardians, on Friday afternoon in reference to the site for the proposed isolation hspital for the use of the inhabitants of the Oystermouth Urban District and the Gowur and Lkngyfeiaca Rural Districts. The inquiry was conducted bv Alderman H. Naunton Davies and Coun- cillors T. H. Mcrris and C. V. Pegge. and those present included Mr. W. E. K. Alien (deputy clerk to the Glamorgan County Coun- cil, Mr. Graham Vivian, Hen. Odo Vivian, Hen. Aubr;y Vivian, Messrs. Biker Rayn-s, Given Price, S.ms; J. W. Johnston, Rev, J. V." Rober.s, Rev.

B-. n';tt (surveyor to the Oystei-mouth Local Bcaid), etc.—It was an adjourned iuquiry, ev.dencj having been clicited at a previous sitting. The mvts^ty of urriving at a*i understanding with tlxi? Swansea Council was now emphasised by the delegates of the County C" uncii, who stated. that there had Q,em a deal of talk for yearns aj?out some understanding b;mg a:r-v:d at. The isolation hospital at Swansea was | stated to be utterly unsuited to the require- ments, and Alderman Nauntcn Davit-s stit-d that he had visitoi the ho^p-tal some timj. ago S.nd was surprised that a town of the size aiid importance of Swansea, should have oom satis- gjvd with such a building. The approaches were utterly unsuited, and it was unfair to ex- pect even. thl) officers to put up with such approaches. The Ccunty Oouncii reprase-ta- t'.v.-s recommended that the three districts cf Gower, Llangyft-lach, and Oystennouth should jointly approach the SwansP.<1 B:rough Coun- cil once again, a.nd stated thai failing any satisfactory arrangement the County Council at their me-c^ting in Mhrch would taKC act^Oi* in the mvit rr themsilves.

ST. JUDK'S CHURCH, SWANSEA. ANNUAL TEA AND CONVERSAZIONE. The annual tea and conversazione in conec- tion vith St. Jude's Church. Swansea, were held in the schoolroom, on Thursday evening. and proved to fee the mo?t successful function of its kind that .i:1a!; ever taken place in con- uection with that place of worship. Additional interest centred in titis year's event, in eon- sequence of several preSf"1^0115 that j made to the late curate-m-ct«cge. the> Key. Harold Williams, and advantage a^° of the occasion to publiclv wek'oim. Mr. Vvit- liauis' successor, the Rev Henry Kdwasda. The tea, which was provided by Mr. Bootes, of Mount Pleasant, was served by the following ladies:—Mesdames Lennard, Dodscn, nevus, Lowndes, Hazel, Cartwrlght, Steptoe, Elston, Guest. Wochs, Bowers. W. G. Davies, Love- less, Kitellings, Rowe, Smith, and Evans, ) After the tables were defied a programme of music, ctr' was* gone through, the items in the first part bairn? rendered by Miss Bulhn (St Jude's Choir)/Miss Florence Ha-sseil, Mr. D. Rws, and Mr. Bart'ett's mandoline band. During the interval the Rev. Henry Edrwirds, who "^vi.s accorded an enthusiastic recepiK.ii, raid then they were very pleased to have the Rev. Harold and Mils. Williams with them. The pr .Tninent positian which St. Jude s neld in local tthurch circles was mainly due to thei; energetic efforts, and thj^y had left behind them a permanent memorial at their work in the en- largcment of the church -and the reading-coom. He°(the speaker) ako took the opportunity of thanking their friends for the splendid rs- ception which they had given him since he had been among them- Mr. Winder then, on behalf of the congregation, presented the Rev. Harold Williams with a magnificent mahogany rolled-top desk and an illuminated address, In the course of a speech he said that during his stay of' four years in the parish, he had collected JB2,000 for the church. (Cheers.) Mrs. Williams had bum the model of a parson's wife, and that was also the opinion of the belies of the district. (Applause). Messrs. He van and Blackwell a] so bore testimony to the high esteem in which Ahe rev. gentleman and Mw. Williams were held.—Mr. Cartwright, superintendent of the Sunday School, also made a presentation, consisting of 12 volumes on behalf of the teachers and scholars, and Miss Jane Owen presented Mrs. Williams with a beautiful evening tea. service, from the mem- bers of her late Bible class. The Rev. Harold iS' Williams, who was receiwi with loud ap- phiuse, said he felt that cigl.t that he had arrived at one of tho&e times when it was impossible for him t> convey to them what he would like to. He could only say that he thanked them sinceiuily from the' bottom of his heart for the beats tiful presents which had been given him. He afeo thanked the members of the young women's Bible class on behalf of his wife, for their kintl present. He was glad to be able to say that he had left the church practically frue of debt, and had the offer of St. John's come to him before the debt had bE-PH chared, her woiaW have been there that day.-The second part of the programme was then proceeded with, the same art;stes again rendering the itens?v Bullin being en- cored. ■ 1 —- JL^j„!JJJSgy

MESSRS MORE WOOD & CO'Sj V, OH KB. CONSTERX ATTON AT C^VMBWEK\ AND LLANELLY. None but those who are intimate with ino gigantic industry carried on by Messrs. More- wood and Company at the South Wales Vr orlcs, Llaneily, can possilbly have the least concep- tion of uhe calamity to the town that would he i brought about by the closing of the works. Nothing leas than a sensation was produced by ¡ the circulation of the grave tidings published by the "Daily Post" on Thursday that the firm were unfortunately in difficulties for the na.mo of "Morewood" has not only been a household word in Llauelly, but what is of mora vital importance, several hundreds of families are dependent upon the works. At the present time nearly a thousand hands arc engaged at these large works — in fact, *he largest tinplate factory in tha world wouid follow in the trail of the loss of employment to a thousand men. What causes have led up to this serious tura in the affairs of Messrs. Morewood we do not preterl to know, bu'. what intensifies our surprise at it is the know- ledge tt..tt these TI crks have been the most steady and regularly going ell the o^her I works in the trade. At periods, when otner manufacturers were forcing reductions upon the men Messrs. Morevocd hsld aloof and allowed work to proceed at tin standard 1'hte o £ v/agss when a 35 per cent, reduction had become general throughout Sou' h Vv7el:s and Monmouthshire. As a matter of fact, the nirr. are being paid according to tha 1874 list st j the present moment, whilst at every other j works reduc'lons have been in vogue I since the early part of November. It Wid | be seen from the following announcement that steps are now being taken to place the work-, m.: n of the South Wales Works on the same level as their fellow-workers in the trade :— "We regret to announce that we are obliged to put the firm in liquidation. Mr. J. ii. j Rogers and Mr. H. C. Bond will endeavour to carry on the works for the benefit of ail ~o*i cermd, but the men engaged in the tinplate and blackpla'e departments must- accept a re- duction of 15 per cent, on all plates. A definite answer must be given next Monday, as the continuance of work will depend i-p<m it. The operatives at the Cwmbwrla Works of the firm have already received 24 hours' notice to terminate con.racts."

CWMBWRLA WORKS TO BB CLOSED. All the indications at the present moment point to the fact that Cwmbwrla. will be affc-ctod far more seriously than Liarclty by this serious turn in the affcVis of Messrs. Morewood and Company. There is no o r- tainty that the South Wales Works will be ciosed down at Llanelly; but giving a fore- cast of what is likely tu happen in the im- mediate future at Cwmbwrla, we i-ave the authority for stating that the works will be closed as soon fs the present stock on iiand is worked off. Coming so soon after the recent lock-out, when the pecple of the dis- trict are only just beginning to recover f:om the disastrous effects of a long perodj oi idleness, this news is all the more s rious, and one almost shrinks from contemplating what this stoppage will mean to that naif- starved locality m the immediate vicinity of Swansea, About 500 men vr'll be thrown out of employment, and it. would seem a.s if the last hope were shut out of the works being icstarted for a long time to come. The havoc p oduced by the great depression in the tin- plate trade, and the succ^l'ul competition of in? Americans, is gradually spreading over a wiaer area every day. Landore and a portion of Morriston have already being strcken, and it is now the turn of Cwmbwrla. More than a ihiri of the mills in the trade ar: idle, and m the finishing departments there has b?en <-■;> little to do that the average wag; earned has been nothing more than a miserable pit- tance for the last twelve months or more. At Vi oriwood's works, Llanclly, for instance, the t.r.men, washmen, and risers, have not been earning labourers' wages for many months, t.nd SJ far as they are concerned things are in a worsa etate than most people imagine. It u: significant that at Cwmbwrla the men have i.ot been asked to concede an additional re- duction in wages, the present reduction in vogue there being 15 per cent, on the list of 1874. j Mr. Frank Bond. w. a statement made to cue (of our representatives on Friday, said it was intended to work off the stock at the works at present, and then "close down." In regard to a resumption of operations, he could say j nothing. Among the workmen of Cwmbwrla] much anxiety prevails, aind very few er;tert.ain tho hop:; that matters will be so arrangpd ss to prevent a lock-out At present there are eight- milis working at Cwmbwrla, and things have been going on so smoothdy taat the notice to terrnirate contracts within 24 hours has come as a thunderbolt. «11-

LLANELLY BALACLAVA HERO ¡ FUNERAL.—'THIS DAY. The remains of the veteran were interred on Friday afternoon at the Box Cemetery, LIaH- clly, amid many evidences of the high esteem in which he was held. To the Editor of tho "Daily Post." S'r,—Several inaccuracies huve crept into your paragraph re the death of Mr. Macnallv, the Crimean veteran, which appeared in your I'SSUO of Tuesday. In the first place, it is stated that the deceased was in; poor circum- stances. This is quite ircorrect: for ar- a matter of fact Manually had close upon JE50 to dispose of in his will. The old veteran had lived for the last &ev<n years wi th mc at the (address given below, so that I can spsak "with { authority" on the matter. It ougnr also to be mentioned that during all that lime, except; within two or three days of his death, he \v,n associated with All Saints' Church, and was regularly visited by the two curates, the Rev. John Williams and the Rev. Morgan Jones l'owch. Your statem us therefore tnat he vos a faithful Catholic is aho untrue. Macnadv died oc Sraday, and at his request I sent fr'r the Catholic priest on the previous Thursday. Iv.is further quite incrrrect to say that the prj^st was present at t.h3 death scene.—Yours, ¡i etc., WILLIAM RICHARDS. 14, Annesley-street. Lianelly, Feb. 16, 1898.

THE BISHOP OF BANGOR. RUMOUR OF INTENDED RESIGNATION. The very favourable reports which have appeared daily concerning the Bishop of Ban- gtvr's progress convey a very misleading im- pression of his lordship's real condition. Gratifying has tho bulletins have been sr; far as they have gone, the fact remains that the mental and physical disability which has been caused by the seizure continues up to the present time without material improvement, II It follows that the report of the bishop's re- signation, which has already been published, 1.<; not only unfounded and ill-timed, but im- plies an act which is phyjicaiiy impossible to bis lordship in his present condition. i

.¡ REPRESENTATION OF SWANSEA, MR. BURNIE SELECTED AS THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE. REFERENCES TO INTERNAL DISSENSIONS. A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF. Making all deductions for vacant places, the interior of the Albert Hall presented a com- fortably filled apjwarance on Thursday even- ing, when "a public meeting of Liberals" was heid to appoint a piesiient of the disunited Liberal Association, and to accept Mr. Burn e as the Liberal candidate for the borough. B. th nuH'seis were equally indigestible as later symptoms sre like-Jy to make clear. For some I reason or another p:rsons entering the had were preseafced with copies of an insipid political speech delivered to junior Liberals in the year 1835, by that eminently orthodox politicrin, I1r. Rawiings. The relationship, however, between stait) liuratuire and the evening's business was rendered abundantly clear as the hours—aye, hours, for the proceed- ings were cf interminable length—wore on, for with thtj exception of the period in the meet- ing when a AL. Davies sought to assert a little independence, matters got positively de- pressing, People on the pla' must have envied the freedom of their luckier brethren in the body of the hall, who w.ere enabled to float out of the building in shoals when Mr. Bnrnie had knocked a hole in nearly an hour. jJ1". Rawiings, who was to have presided, was suffering troci influenza at lioea-nemcuth, and pending the: acceptance of Mr. Cory Yco's name aa the Radical president, Mr. R. L. Sails took the chair. The platform celebrities I were received with th:- customary hand-cymbal salute, although Dr. Gomer Lewis, who, it is well known, scorns the whole method of Liberal organisation in the constituency, had ths b;st reception. The first hour and a quarter, however, was sufficient for the Orchard-street divine, and he disappear/id from the platform auring a convenient round of what passes in Swansea for Radical enthusiasm. At length the Chairman got under sail, and to his credit, be it stated, he evidenced no inclination to make anything but a short voyage. After the usual preliminaries which an original b:nt of rnmd like his rould easily have dispensed with, Mr. Sails stated the objects of the meeting, and proceeded to move the acceptance of Mr. Tuttcn's resignation as chairman. "During the time Mr. Tutton has been our president," he said "I am sure he has given satisfaction to I the whole of the party. And then a man in the balcony icughed, and everybody turned as if they could have shot him. Mr. Richard Martin brought his triple schema diplomacy to bear in piloting the resolution :.hrnngh the meeting as a seconder. He was perfectly sincere in stating that Mr. Tutton was one of the abkst and most con- scientious end tactful men. In rather bad taste, considering the resolution that was to follow, Mr. Martin in further allusion to Mr. Tutton, said that "in order to have a party cemented \ou must have at the head of the ship one in whom everybody has con'idcnce. The speaker further stated that he had heard it hinied that possibly th; late president had motives in his mind that he had not disclosed. "I am here to tell you, he con- tmued, "that if t-hena were motives I should know of them. There is not a shadow of a. motive but the interest of the Liberal paity in everything he did." Nobody appear.d to doubt the latter assertion, and after further eulogies on his Corporation friend, Mr. Mar- tin .ookel for a chair, a.nd found one. The fa:thful w:re evidently eager to accept the resignation, for they carried the resolut.on with unanimity and applause. This con- cluded "the passing of Tutton." It was now Mr. C. H. Perkins' turn to use the lather-brush, but a little commotion wa'> catrsed by a Mr. Davies, a fb-mist, ri ing in the body of the hall and demanding to bo heard. The nautical Chairman having put a.n interrogation, Mr. Davies, exclaimed "1 rise to a point of order. I wish to know if it is within the right cf this public mr.etiug to appoint a president for the Liberal Assucia- tion.' "I think it's according to rule's," saii j Mr. Sails, "I may tell you that in the execu- tive we went carefudy into the ruks, and .t was the unanimous cpinion of the executive that by no other means could we app:int a president cxcept by procedure of this k.nd." But the inquisitive one was not s^t-i-ficd. "May I ask you to read that rule," he said. The Chairman was net going to allow too much freedom of speech, howcv.r. and bluntly ruled that the procedure was perfec.Iy in ceda. The gentleman in tba hall was, however, not to b3 put on yet, and when 119 rose again there was a sjventeen-voluma yeil c:i "Older' and "Chair." Mr. Christopher James was also on tiia feet, gesticulating and say- ing something which could net ba heard. Mr. Jam.,s was scornfully motioned to his seat by the Chairman, and by this time Mr. Davies had also disappeared. With as much spirit and energy as he could master, Mr. Perkms moved a resolution to appoint Mr. Cory Yeo as the occupant of tho old presidential clogs. He said that Mr. Yeo came before them with the best traditions of Liberalism, and the mantle of t-hie father had fallen on the son. Mr. Edwin Jones .seconded, but said no tiling. The resolution was cariiod. and seventeen men sprinkled about the hall cheered. It was cn impiring scene. Thes- pian business followed, Mr. Sails vacating the chair with the spirit of the comedian,"and Mr. Cory Yeo stalking towards it in dramatic style. The German Emperor's countenance never wore ¿¡.n air of grew tor solemnitv WkIl ha dismissed Prince Henry on his Chines- cxpediticn. Mr. Cory Yeo is admirably adapted for his new position. He makes a longer speech than docs Mr. Tutton. and did so last night He comeswd frankly that he had not accepted the offa' without a cert-am amount of heslta.- tion. He isgrctbcd that Mr. Tutton, in Gor- don Highlander fashion, persisted in sticking to his guns and courageously repulsed every attempt on the part of the committee to in- duce him to reconsider his resignation. Tread- ing important ground, he proceeded to move the. selection of Mr. R. D. Burnii? as the cartv candidate. Genuine cheering from tlv» Burnieit-es, who held the meeting, followed the remarks at this stage. But the name of; Mi-. Tutton, like King Charles's head in Mr Dick's immortal manuscript, persisted in float- ing before the new president's mind. In moving tho Burnie resolution, he said he did not want to make any reference to the action which Mr. button had thought advr-abV- lo take in relation to that association Ncr was it his intention to give any expression cf opinion as to waether th, course which he thought fit to adopt was justified or not He feared Ins action in that matter migut tend to intensify the feelings which had been exlubifc d he was ferry to say, with regard to the <LC- tion of a candidate, and possibly might tend to make it in or: difficult to brnrr about a thorough reunion of the party. If Mr. Tut- ton's action did unfortunately lead to a per- manent split in the Liberal camp—and he did not think it possible—he was sure no on-° I would regret it more than Mr. Tutton himse'f' Proceeding to analyse the objections levelled against Mr. Burnie's candidature, he said dr re were a let of grumblers in every constituency- people who would not be satisfied with' an archangel from heaven. Some people would not be satisfied if they were in Paradise. The Nonconformist audience thought all this fool- ing very funny, and laughed heartily. Mr. Yeo concluded a terribly long speech w th an exaltation of Radical VIEWS, and the demo- cratic opinions of Mr. Bumie in particular. Mr. Christopher James was the seconder, and his sunshiny- face was one cf the b-si, tonic-j of the evening. He covered an acre of politics And the audience listened to him good natured- ly. When he told his hearers, howev r, that he was a perfect democrat, no one believed him, and here is every probability that Mr. James doesn't believe it- himself. Mr. James occupied the forum for a considerable time, in the course of which he regretted that Mr, Burnie wfu^not a millionaire, but he expressed his disbelief in a rich man being a candidate simply because he was a rich man. The anti-Barnieites all being at home, the third resolution was carded splendidly, and the charring was renewed when Mr. Burnie, who had been vatient y waiting in an ante-room mad; an appearance on the platform, accom- panied by his son. The Chairman perpe- trated tiie joke, of the evening by callino- on Mr. Burnie as "our fliture membn-" to address tb.-> meeting. Mr. fiernie's speech va.~ a well-dcilivered i one, bus its extreme length tired the audi- ence, scores of people creating a. hubbub by leaving the jhoilding long before he ha.d finished. The candidate's local references were far more, interesting than his discursive observations on home and foreign politics. On foreign affairs Mr. Burnie was m{;st illogical, Ho censured the Tory Government for alleged cewaions of U:mtorie« and at a later peiicd congratulated Lord Salisbury on whittling down a dangerous Jingo spirit in not for in- stance persisting in th3 free opening of Talien- WdJi. He condemned a warlike attitude, and then wanted to know why we iuudn t taken up the cudgels at the time lIIf tb." Armenian difficulty, Knowing as Mr. Bumie did, that independent action at that crisis would have set tHE; whole of Europe.ablaze. Air. Bumie b.pt his most scathing observations for the Indian frontier btLssinass. But to return. After thanking Swansea Liberals for ,heir unique display of confidence, and referring to his career as a public man in Swansia., wtiich tad lasted twenty years, he claimed that his three years' service in the House of Commons had not warranted his rejection at. the last j election. Unfortunately, Swansea is not a pocket borough of .Mr. Burnie's, otherwise he would doubtless be sitting now. He said that soior thoroughly legitimate reasons had been urged against his candidature, and one was that a candidate for such a constituency must be a wealthy man. ("No.) He said lie had every respect for, and 1m, w the advantages of, wealth and when they said that wealth was a desirable thing he would agree with them. But when thsy said that a body of Radicals and Democrats that had been fight- ing for greater principles than wealth and riches insisted on wealth, then they wens neither Liberals or Radicals, ox Democrats. He defended ins adhesion tG tin; principles of Home Rule, disestabliihrra:nt, and local veto in defiance of the criticism that his opinions on those questions uai bien fatal to his return. He spoke on oceans cf othsr topics, and as •stated before., had his observations been char- acterised by a decent svidenoe of brevity, they would have been far mora interesting. A hint to Mr. Burnie. He appeai-s to have bestowird a tremendous amount of attention in ascertaining the causes leading to his down- fall at the last trial of strength. Has he counted the length of his periods? In con- cluding his speech, at ten o'clock, Mr. Bumie moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Mr. Gwilym Morgan got up to second, but nobody wanted to listen to him, and by the time the uninteresting little airman had I finished what he had to say, the hall was cleared. It was a one-sided meeting, but to harrow the words of a contemporary, there's an appre- ciable element cf Radical strength, AchilJes like, sulking in the tent. w

ST, GABRIEL'S BAZAAR. I¡ RESULT UP TO DATE. Bumper houses were a train the order at the I St. Gabriels bazaar entertainments on Thurs- day evening. A concert was first held at which the programme was as follows —Song, "The flight of ages," Mr. F. H. Rees; song, "Love's old sweet song," Miss Dorothy Toms: violin I solo, "Concert, Miss Hannah Jones, L.C.V. song, Mr. F. H. Rces; song, "Daddy," Miss Dorothy Toms. Following this Haydn's Toy Symphony was 1'endered in excellent style by fifteen young ladies of the congregation, under the conductorship of Mr. C. M. Bill. The second part of the evening was taken up with the performance of a farce entitled, "My Lord in Livery." The ladies and gentlemen engaged in the piece surpassed themselves, in fact the in the piece surpassed themselves, in fact the impersonation of the various characters was I so good that the audience could easily have ( thought themselves witnessing a piece per- j formed by talented professionals. The plot of the farce turned on a bet of a monkey made by Lord Thirlmere, who is an officer on H.M.S. Phlegethon. with a fellow-officer that he would receive voluntarily a certain ring from the hand of Sybil Anne-rly within half-an-hour of making j her acquaintance. This he accomplishes by appearing in the livery of a footman, and the nervous Spiggott, butler, having told Sybjl and her friends that he is one of a gang of burglars, they hastily hand over their jewellery when requested. The cast was as follows — "Lord Thirlmere," Mr. Miers; "Spiggott, Mi-. W. L. Morgan; "Hopkins.' Captain Forbes; "Robert," (page) Master Percy Fen- t wick; "Sybil Annerley," Mrs. C. L. Bath; and 'Laura'' and "Rose" (her friends) Miss Gladys Strict and Miss Bill. The handsome Honiton lace bedspread, worked by Mrs. Gaydon, was drawn for, and 'I won by Miss Thompson, Broudeg. I The unpropitious weather h&a unfortunately ha' a depressing effect upon St. Gabriel's Church bazaar. On Friday again the murky, esnserablo atmospheric conditions affected the attendance in a manner the reverse of that desired. Hence it was that when Mrs. Squire, wimw of the late Vicar of Swansea, declared the bazaar open at. three o'clock, the number or persons present was not very considerable. Colonel Morgan proposed a vote of thanks to- Ute, opener, and aduded in touching terms to tiie deep interest her husband had evinced in Church work 'n the town.—The Rev. J. Simon soconded tee vote, which was carried by acclamation. The takings en Thursday a.neunted to £100. which, with the JB140 realised on the first day. arid the JE25 that goes -o the bazaar receipts fiom Sir John Llewelv'u £ 50, and other smaller donations, brings the total ior the first two days up to about £ 270.

We regret to record the death of a well- known Swansea tradesman, Mr. J. T. Brown, plumber, which occurred on Thursday morn- ing, at his residence, Rock House, Heath field. Deceased had been ailing for a considerable i time, and for the past 15 months had been confined to his bed through acute rheumatism. Latterly the malady developed to an extent which made it only too evident that the case ) was hopeless. Mr. Brown was in his 50th year, and had carried on business for the past 24 years at Bath-lane. He was of a cheery and kindly disposition, and had a host of friends, who extend to the wife and eight children, left to mourn his loss, their deepest I sympathy. At Neath County Court on Thursday, Miss Isabella Clackworthy, of Ystalyfra, sought damages from Hanbury and Co., Ltd., Regent Circus, London, scientific dressmakers. It was alleged that the plaintiffcbtained a certi- ficate of proficiency und;r tho defendants and was appointed the company's agent at Yetaly- lera in 1894. At the outset the plaintiff paid £5 to the company and received a quantity of apparatus and material and a brass plate notifying she was the agent for the company. In 1896 a Miss Mainwaring was appointed agent at the came place without any notice being given to plaintiff and shor'dy after her agency was cancelled. His Hcnour consider d th;re W1\5 no contract and therefore no ca3i, and nonsuited the plaintiff. A grand entertainment was given at the Public Bad. Pontardulais, on Thursday even- ing, by St. Teilo's Church Juvenile Choir, when the operetta. "The Bundle cf Siicks." was performed. The children were under tha baton of Mr. T. W. Davies, lay reader. The Vicar, the Rev. W. Morgan. B.A., made aj model chairman, and the accompanist was' Master Richard Jones. The children having finished their part in fins style, a miseeIIf.n:ous concert followed. The Church Choir, 1L!d-r the leadership of Mr. J Watkin Jones, G.T.S.C., also' rendered the 'HaDeiujah Chorus" with great success, Mr. R. Ley Davies, A.C., accompanying. The singing of the National Anthem terminated the proceed- ings. Madame P?-tt.:i (-ays "Truth") is not going to retire, and the r.ports which have so persis- tently been sent- 'o this country from the Con- tinental papers, axe purely imaginative.

Then will most j decidedly come a farewell Continental teur, and, lastly, a itirewell tour in this country, and j a final adieu possibly at the opera, and cer- j tainly at the Alh:rt-hall. But it will not ba j in the present century. The other morning an interesting wedding was solemnised at Rhossilly, Gower,. between Mr. Jack Bat-cock, cf Swansea, tfn-i Miss Sara Helena Bevan, third daughter of Mr. | Samuel Bevan, the well-known autieoiity of Wower folk-lore.
