AN INGENIOUS FRAUD, "WICKED AND REPREHENSIBLE" CONDUCT AT CARDIFF. At Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday (before Messrs. F. J. Baavasi and T. H. Stephens) Win. Geo. Moss, alias Wm. George Collins, 26, was charged with obtaining by false pretences from Mr. David Griffith Henderson on December 20 three brandies of celery, on December 23 eighteen rabbits, on December 26 a. barrel of American apples, and on January 2 twenty-four rabbits. There -was a. further charge of attempting to obtain by false pretences a. case of lemons from Mrs. Maud Mary Henderson, wife of the prosecutor. Prosecutor, who is a potato and fruit ex- porter in business in New-street, Cardiff, explained prisoner's methods in the tra.na- actions he had had with him. He was in the habit of coming to the stores to order goods for R. E. Jones and Co., Masons' Arms, Queen-street, Cardiff, and he had found those orders to be genuine. On the dates men- tioned he ordered the goods specified in the charge, ail of which he said were for R. E. Jones and Co.. Masons' Arms. He returned with the apples, saying that Miss Gibbs, manageress, thought them too dear, and would he kindly change them. Mr. Henderson said he had no cheaper apples then, but "would probably have some to- morrow." He replied, All right," and went away. away. Miss Elizabeth Gibbs, manageress of the Masons' Arms, knew prisoner, who was in the company's employ until about a month ago. She had mot sent prisoner to order any of the goods, nor had she ever received any of them. It transpired, however, that while he was in the company's employ prisoner was eeDJt by the manageress on two occasions coaly to order goods from Mr. Henderson. Dertective-eergeamt Davey said on the previous day he was present at Mr. Hender- son's stores, when prisoner came in a..nd ordered the case of lemons. He was then handed over by the prosecutor into custody, and said hs did not understand what it waa ail about. Prisoner, charged, made no com- memt. He was similarly silent in. court. He plead-ed guiity. Police-sergeant Pries said prisoner had appeared fifteen times in different courts, at Newport, Hall, and in Essex. His last con- viction was in Oairdiff on October 20, 1903. When arrested he had lis. 6d. in his pockets, and refused his address or to give any account of himself. Mr. F. J. Beavan described prisoner's con- duct as wicked and reprehensible, and passed sentanoo of four months, with hard labour.

GLAMORGAN METHODISTS. The Welsh Methodists of West Glamorgan held their annual meeting at Lakston (Bridgend) on Wednesday, the Rev. D. Mardy Davies presiding. This meeting was formerly known as "Cwrdd Calan y Pil," where it was held annually for 63 consecutive years.—Mr. Dan Roberts, brother of Mr. Evan Roberts, was accepted as a candidate for the ministry. -The motion for the establishment of a Con. nexional Book-room for South 'W, alz!s was referred back to the committee for fuller particulars.—Mr. John Davies brought up the report of the Home Mission Fr.nd for 1905, which showed an increase in the total of collections of JE315 18s. 5d.—Mr. Ben Jones, Swansea, was elected chairman, with the Rev. Thomas Powell vice-chairman, for the ensuing twelve months.

SWANSEA TUG'S SERVICE. The Swansea tug Africa left Yarmouth en Friday with the large Hartlepool steamer Rockclifif in tow. The Africa accomplished a smart stroke of salvage by getting the Rock- cliff, with the aid of some local tugs, off the dangerous Croea Sands, where she stranded during thick weather on Tuesday. The Africa was passing, saw rockets, and went to the assistance of the steamer. Although guns were fired all night, no holp arrived from eiiore till next day, when a fleet of tugs and lifeboats came out. The follow- ing evening the Rockcliff was got ashore. She is from Ergasteria to Middlesbrough with a. cargo of ore, and the Africa rendared the chief part of the salvage services, which will entail her owners a. substantial award.

WORK AND WAGES SOUTH WALES MINERS' FEDERATION. A meeting of the oouneil of the South Wales Miners' Fedenafcion was held on Friday at the Angel Hotel, Cardiff, under the presidency of Mr. W. Abraham (Mabo-n), M.P. There were also present Mr. Tom Richards, M.P. (secretary), and Mr. A. Onions (treasurer). A long discussion upon the question of improving the finances of the Federation, as resolved upon by the recent conference, took plaoe, and a sub-committee waa a,p-pointed to draft a. scheme upou the lines of the discussion for submission to a. future council meeting. AIderma.n 'John Thomas presented a report of the negotiations with the employers on the question of the International Colliery strike. Certain amendments in the terms offered by the employers were suggested, and Aldermaai John Thomas was given full power to negotiate a settlement. A letter was received from the registrar of the Cardiff University College asking the Federation to appoint four representatives to consider the proposal to form a mining education board in connection with the college. Mr. Thomas Harris, Tylorstown, Mr. J. D. Morgan (Ystradgynlais), Mr. Wil- liam Harris (Six Bells), and Mr. John Wil- liams (Merthyr) were appointed. WORK TO BE CONTINUED AT ABERRANT COLLIERIES, ABBRDAEE. The notices given to the men working at the Abernant Collieries, the property of the Marquess of Bute, expired on Saturday. Thanks to the negotiations which were con- ducted in London that day, the notices became vokl, and operations proceeded as usual at the various pits on Monday. The news was received with great satisfac- tion by the inhabitants, as a stoppage of the collieries would mean a calamity. BLAENSYCHAN HAULIERS AND THE NEW AGREEMENT. A mass meeting of the hauliers employed at the Blaensychan Colliery was held a.t Abersychan on Friday to consider the new agreement. After a. long discussion the agent (Mr. James Winstone) advised the men to sign the agreement. It would be very unwise to take any action which would throw other men out of employment, and be a. loss to themselves and the community. He understood that nearly the whole of the hauliers in the coalfield had already signed the agreement. It was unanimously decided to eign the agreement on the understanding that imme- diate action be taken to consider the hauliers' question. GARW DISPUTE ENDED.. The protracted dispute in the Caedefaid Seam of the I niter national Colliery, Blaen- garw, affecting several hundreds of workmen, bas at last been provisionally settled. The dispute has been mainly in regard to the filling of clean coal. At first the employers insisted on the introduction of a "Billy Fairplay," but about a month ago they gave way on this point. The terms now pro- visionally agreed upon are practically the same as those arranged in regard to the Darren Colliery, with the important diffe- rence that in the International the men will be paid Is. 6d. a ton for "olean" coal, a.U workmen to undertake to fill large clean coal as far as practicable. In the case of the Darran the men are paid Is. 6d. for through ooal. The new terms were arranged on Saturday by Mr. Daniel Williams, managing director, and Alderman John Thomas, miners' agent. The settlement of this dispute will mea.n renewed prosperity in the Garw V alley, where disputes have seriously affected t/he population during the past twelve months. THE TERMS. Alderman Johsn Thomas (miners' agent) wishes it to be made clear that the settle- ment at the International Colliery, Blaen- garw, is precisely on the same terms as that a.t the Darran, all the men undertaking to fill large clean coal as far as practicable. The employers undertake to pay for both dean large and small coal. WELSH QUARRYMEN STRIKE. A strike deinonstra-tion took place at Car- narvon, when some 750 quarrymen employed at the Talsarn and Cilgwyn. slate quarries marched in procession from Penygroes, nine miles distant, into Carnarvon, where they were met by great crowds. An open-<air demonstration was held in the Castle- equare. In the course of the speeches of the men's Leaders it trainspiared that a. ser-oug disagree- ment had arisen between the management and the men. Owing to the great depression in the slate trade, the management had deter- mined to reduce the wages by 10 per oesnt. On the previous day the men had decided, with twenty-eight diesemtienits, to refuse to accept the reduction on the fixed wage, and to come out on strike. They were, however, willing to refer the matter to arbitration, a.nd hoped Mr. Llayid-GeoTge, President of the Board of Trade, would take the matter up.

SHIP-REPAIRING AT BARRY There has been a large arrival of tonnage in Barry Docks daring the past week or two, and the ship-repairing trade is brisker than it has been for some time, very few men being out of work. A targe number are employed on the steamship Crusader, of Whitby (7,000 tons), which was badly damaged as the result of being ashore on the Maldive Islands, some time ago. She was tempo- rarily repaired at Bombay, and has since brought her cargo home, discharging at Liver- pool. The Crusader is now in the Commercial Dry Dock, Barry, undergoing permanent repairs, the contract having been secured ;.y Messrs. John T. Hogg and Co.

——— PARENTS' CRUELTY TWO MOTHERS AND A FATHER SENT TO PRISON. The Newport magistrates, at the Town-hall on Wednesday had before theon two husbands and wives, named Tutton and Dowding, who between them contrived to neglect no fewer than nine children, one of them a crippled I girl. The cases were presented by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren, and Mr. Lyndon Moore, solicitor, appeared to prosecute. James Tutton, a corporation workman, earning 25s. per week, and residing at 44, Agmoourt-etreet, was, with his wife, said to be addicted to drink. W. H. Stephens, exabool attendance-officer, said the children had been fed, clothed, and washed by the school teachers, who had been much more kind to them than their mother, who spent her time mostly -between searching ash-boxes and visiting pawnshops and public- houses. A jacket lent to one of the girls to go to school itn had disappeared, and a. pair of boots lent to ainother girl had been burnt by the mother. The Magistrates sentenced the mother to three moaths' hard labour, amd let the hus- band off with a. warning. He promised to obtain the help of an elder daughter and reform his home. In the case of Alfred Dowding, candle- maker, earning in the winter 30s. per week, and living at 12, Canal-parade, six children were mustered in the gangway, and Mr. Lyndon Cooper stated that three of the elder children earned between them from 20s. to 25a. per week. Inspector Sparks spoke to repeated visits to the fllithy house, and to finding the husband and wife in bed, both drunk. Four of the children were huddled round an empty grate on a, bitterly cold morning, in scant clothing. The sole contents of the cupboard was half a. loaf. On the 21st of December the officer found both parents in the ooal cellar, stagger- ing drunk and abusive. Police-constable Hiles was with him at the time. The wife told the magistrates that in the summer her husband's earnings were very small, and tha.t she had to go into the workhouse. When she came out she had to get furniture and blankets, and the inspec- tor, in reply to a question, admitted that he had seen a. receipt for 12s. 6d. for blankets and sheets. School Attcndan ce-of&o&r Dowle said that in June the children told him they had had no food all day, and he reported the case. The Magistrates called the three elder ohil- dren, and elicited (hat they earned 22s. 9d. per week between them—12s. 9d., So., and 5s. They looked over the parents' records, amd sentenced the husband to one month's hard labour and the mother to two months' imprisonment.

"ROBINSON CRCSOE." CROWDED HOUSES AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. "Robinson Crusoe" still aft-tracte crowded houses at the Theatre Royal. In fact, Mr Milton Bode's pantomime is voted one of the best that has ever been produced in Cardiff. There is not a weak spot in the piece or the acting. The musioe-inddentel as well as the oelectims-is ftr<st-olass. The incidental music I THE PLKATES ELOABD H.M.8. BOUtUBK. I has all been composed specially by Mr. Frank Seddon, who so ably wields the baton. 8na.p" is his watchword, so that all the music goes with a swing. If one might criti- cise it at aJl, it might be pointed out that' in one or two instances the mirac is too loud. For instance, a topical song by Mr. Frank Couch (" Billy Crusoe "), in which the chorus bring on letters, is somewhat drowned, and its effect lo&t. The reference to General Booth goes well. It is noticeable how people's ideas change with the times. Years back a sling at the Salvation Army lossies was ttsnal in pantomime, but nowadays the great general is treated witk respect. Each member of the company works hard, and this is one cause of the smoothaiess that is such a feature in "E/obinson Crusoe." It has become a growing fashion, instead of turning one's house upside down for a children's party, to I THBEE SCREAMINGLY FCNNY CHABACTEBS. I give them a treat by taking them to the pantomime. Several such parties have already attended, and the genuine delight of the chil- dren is a pleasure to witness. Longford and Downed still keep the house in roars of laughter with their whimsicalities. The Misses Maisrie Ellinger, Veronica Brady, and Cassle Waimer enchant with Eong and dance. Larola's marvellous feats never cease to please, and Frank Couch's energetic humour is the delight of the audience. As "Widow Oruaoe," Mr. Tom Owen gives a life-like ren- dering of the Welsh dame. As a sand-dancer, agile and graceful, Miss Caesie Walmer deserves a special word of praise, her buok- wing dance being quite out of the common. Miss Veronica Brady scored a real triumph in I would not 'leave my little hut for you," and her clfever dance after the song was twice encored. Altogether a capital pantomime, and one tha.t no one should miss seeing.

Nid yw Cymru wedi ei breintio a, rhyw lauer o gyioethogion; ac o'r rhai sydd ganddi ychydig o hony-nt sy'n dod allan yn deilwng o honynt eu hunain i gynorth- wyo y genedl yn ei hymdrechion i enill ei safle yn ol fel un o genedloedd byw a dyianwadol y byd. Y mae'r bendefigaeth, gydag ychydig^ ekhriadau, er's canrifoedd inegys yn credu mai eu dyledswydd ydyw ceisio mygu pob symndiad o'r fath ac y dylid ein gorfodi i fyw a gwneud. pobpeth fel y Saoson. Coiled fawr ydyw hon i Gymra, ond y mae'n fwy felly i'r urddas- olion eu hunain. Y mae'r hen wiad wedi ac yn oodi hebddynt hwy; ond nis gall- ant ihwy adfer eu safleoedd fel arweinwyr a chyn ryehiolwyr eu gwlad heb yn gyntaf ddod i JKK3dwell a'r bobl trwy brofi eu (bod yn cydymdeimlo a hwy yn eu holl ddyheadau cenedlaethol. Eto fe gafodd Cymru ychydig gyfoethogion d'w helpu, ac yr oedd y rhai hyny wedi hanu o blith y werin-bobl; dynion linnan-wueuthuredig oeddynt, wedi dod i afael ar bethan y byd ,11"wn yn unig ti-wy eu craffter a'u galluoedd eu hunain, a daeth rhai o ihonynt yn wertth "miliynau," fel y dy- wedir. Y rhai hyny yn unig sydd wedi cyfranu yn dywysogaidd at anghenion Cymru, megys y diweddar Mr. David Davies, Llandinam, a pharha y teulu i ddangots yr un parodrwydd a haelioni; ac ni ddylid angbofio y diweddar Mr. Thomas Williams, Gwaelodygarth, yr hwn a luniodd evvyllys sy'n ddehveddiad per- ffaith o destament olaf Cymro yn caru ei ■w lad a'i nodweddion goreu.

EARL OF PLYMOUTH'S HEIR COMING OF AGE FESTIVITIES AT HEWELL GRANGE. The festivities in connection with the oomang of age of Viscount Windsor com- menced at Hewell Grange, the Earl of Plymouth's Worcestershire seat, on Wednes- day, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Some 300 guests were entertained to a banquet whidh was held in a large temporary building within the ruins of the old hall. The company comprised many of the nobility and gentry of the near Midlands, the officers of the Queen's Own Worcestershire Yeomanry, the tenantry of the Hewell and Redditch Estates, and the principle residents of Broms- grove, Eedditch, and Barnt Green. The Earl of Plymouth presided, and was supported by Viscount Oobham, the Bishop of Worcester, Lord Windsor, Lord Ernest: Seymour, Sir H. F. Vernoui, Sir H. F. Gray, j Sir W. Péek. General Herbert, Captain i CMfiheroe, Oatpbain Knight, tiue Rev. Canoa Dickine, Mr. C. Baget, Mr. Buxton. and Mr. Aspinall. j After a sumptuous repast the Countess of Plymouth and the lady members of the hottse i party at Hewell en tered amid great cheering. After the loyal toasts had been submitted from the chair, an addreas of congrra-tulation from the town of Eedditch wae presented to Viecount Windsor, Mr. J. Cross (chairman of th«e uvbaji district and Mr. G. W. | Hobson (clerk), making the presentation, j Following this Mr. W. Corbett (chairman of the Bromsrjrove District Council) ajid Mr. S. Say woil preseoted Lord Windsor with e, I framed illuminated address and a gold- mounted hunting crop from the people of Bromsgrore. Ca-noa Discing presented an address from the tenants of the estate, which spoke of the Earl of Plymouth's excellent qualities as a landlord. Also on beJialf of the tenants Sir. W. Neasom and Mr. M. Dixon, tfiie two oldest tonanie, presented his lordshiip with a. paiT of gwas. Next oatoe an acutrass axid Go silvered icuteband from the staff and worltpoople on the estate, which were presented to the new viscount by Mr. L. F. Lacufcort, toe estate agenC~ and Mr. Bhwrnnnds. Mr. M. R. Margesson, on behalf ¡ of the hcraseltoid at Hewell, also preeented I the heir to the estates with a silver salver. A feature about the address from the staff and workpeople was the fact that the work- manship was entirely cacried cut by workmen on the estate, and the oaik frame and the ironwork stand was also made by estate workmen, the woodwork being caared from wood ta&ea oat of tihe oid hall before it Hoe Bodaped. to rainfl. it Hoe Bodaped. to rainfl. Tbiø oozttdnded tfee pteacatatiom eacl1 of whioh was reoeived wisth appiauso by the gath-ing. The speatcerg ail referred to the many excellent quanties of the head of the Windsor boose as landlord, neigliboar, aad friend, and it was suggested in the oourse of the prooeedingB that Viscount Windsor abnoid in the future became one of the meiabars of Pariiaaneat for Worceftertihire- a. suggewaon which was gzeeted with loud applause. Another speaker suggested he should be elected master of the Worcester- shire Hunt, and this aJeo was reoeived with the greatest entfrasiaam. The health of Load Windsor was proposed by Viscount Cobhazn. He remarked that Lord Windsor was now eortering upon the full responsibilities of manhood, and on suah. occasions it was only possible to speak hope- fully. Re believed their hopes on the present occasion were based upon a solid foundation. <Apptemse.) lord Windsor had nearly imisi>ed his school and oollege education, and he had done great credit to himself. He had already made himself acquainted to some extant with foreign society and international politics by having been attached to the Embassy at Berlin, aaid he (the speaker) was in a. positi-on to state that his lordship was there regarded all round with great affection and esteem. Lord Windsor was a. born sportsman, and those who knew him in his private life spoke highly of him as a man. Good relations had always existed between the present Earl of Plymouth and his tenantry, and the be&t ad-vioe he could to the young heir was that he should follow the exajnple of his father. Be could assure him that the mofra he followed that example, the better he would do. (Applause.) In reply, viscount Windsor expressad his thanks to all who had contributed in any ■way towaa-da the presentation of the adtlneeses and the beantiful presents which he had received. He trusted he would always do bis best to follow the traditions of the Windsor family, And the very high example that had been set him by his father. (Applause.) It would always be his endeavour to be worthy { of the great responsibilities which devolved upon him- < Sir Barry Vernon submitted the toast of the tenantry of the Hewell Estate, and Mr. John Green replied. At this Juncture addressee of congratulation to the Earl of Plymouth upon his advancement in the peerage were pre- sented on behalf of the Hewell tenants and the Bromsgrove Court Leet. The Bishop of Worcester gave the health of the Earl and Countess of Plymouth, observing that all would adimit that, the Barl of Ply- mouth had won his new title in a. fair and open neld. In short, he had earned his pro- motion. The bishop referred to his lordship as one of the best Commissioners of Works that had ever occupied the position. This toast a<i&.o was accorded musical honours, and, in reply, the Ea.rl of Plymouth referred to the kindness he himself received on that same ground from his many friends at the time when he attained his majority something like 27 years ago. He said he was never tired of receiving ench addresses as had been presented from the tenante of the Hewell Estate, and he was never tired of hearing from them that they wero content with him as a landlord., and be was never tired of telling tbem that he was content with them as tenants. (Applause.) To the Court Leet of Bromsgrove he was most grateful for the kindness which had prompted the presenta- tion to him that afternoon, a-nd he hoped future lords of the manor would always meet with the great kindness and consideration he had received from the court. Lady Ply- mouth and burns*,jf were, indeed, grateful to all p/re^ent for coming there that afternoon and aeoepting th-eir invrt^io^1 to join in the present celebrations. The day was a very ha-p-py for them, ard it was a day ttiat was full of Promise for the one who was juefc sta.rting- out- in life. ) The procc^diugv, cu^ed' with cheers for Viscount Windsor and the Earl and Countess of Plymouth.

FORWARD MOVEMENT. DR. PUGH'S REPORT: PREVENTIVE HOME AT CARDIFF. Dr. J. Pugh. the general superintendent of the Forward Movement, submitted his half- yearly report to the general committee ai Shrewsbury, and was able to report great progress. They had, he said, 49 mission centres and one preventive home. Their halls accommodated 44,(XX), and most of them were well-filled on ordinary Sundays, and crowded to overflowing on special occasions. They had several large undertakings on hand—the Central-hall at Newport, the Kiing's-hall at Swansea-, the Heath- hail a.t Cardiff, and others. Referring to their new venture at Gra.ngetown, Cardiff, Dr. Pugh said:—"The 3Cth of | November, 1905, will ever, we believe, be memorable in the annals of our movement and of the Free Evangelical Churches of Wales as the date when one of the moot un- portant movements was started for the tem., porad and eternal welfare of the girlhood of I our land. To save the girlhood of our large towns from diabolical degradation is to ua of far greater impoortance than rescuing poos fallen girls, however desirable that may be. This institution will have an employment bureau and a servants' registry, whence young girls may be had as servants, tem- | porarily or permanently. By such arranga. ment we bope to make this home as self- supporting as possible. And it is not to oa confined to any one centre, but opened Mt friendless girls all over the country."
