(Laughter.) He left it to every individual present to form his own judgment as to who was the lion and who the-lumii. He thought the old Castle at'Haver- fordwest was admirably suited for housing jpr. Henry Owen's library. Mr R. T. P. Williams moved a vote of thanks to Mr Roch. La,dy St. David's seconded. Her Ladyship referred to those who could neither sing nor play, those mute, inglorious Stiltons that the poet Gray spoke of. She.had been asking her- self, of what use were these 1 Every man and woman had his and her use, and she thought. thai those who could not be speaking, glorious Jifiltoni, could, by, attention tQ the, sounds of the mttMcians, ride with them upon the wings of melody high above the commonplaces of this earth. (Applause.) Bishop of St. David's on Patriotism, The Bishop of St. David's, the afternoon president, said-he understood the proceeds of that eisteddfod were for an exceedingly good object, to secure for Pembrokeshire, and Haver- ford west in particular, the generous gift of his friend Dr. Henry Owen—(applause)—of his most valuable library, containing most pre- eroilStreasures bearing upon the antiquities of that county. He was sure they would do their best to see that that library was kept in the county and in Haverfordwest. They had in the town a fine old castle, which was the very place for it. (Hear, hear.) There were three reasons why he was glad of that eisteddfod. The first was that it brought people together who did not meet and work together. Scientists told them there was a good deal of the primitive man about them, and the primi- tive man rejoiced in a fight. There was some- thing about Welshmen which made fighting an interesting thing but when we had a really sensible system of education it would develop oar Welsh imaginations so much that we should find working together far more interesting than lighting. (Hear, hear.) Because it brought them together qu a common platform he be- lieved in the eisteddfod. In the second place the programme was a delightful variety of music, literature, and art. (Hear, hear.) The best hobbies were literature, music, and art. As a Welshman he believed in Welsh patriot- ism, but it was a very difficult thing to define what a Welshman exactly was. His definition of a Welshman was one who lived in Wales, Was born in Wales, always connected with Wales and who loved Wales, that was the point. He hoped every Pembrokeshire man Would love his county so much that he would not let Dr. Henry Owen's library go out of the premier county. That would be a practical application of their patriotism. It was a pre- decessor of his. Bishop Burgess of St. David's, who revived the eisteddfod 100 years ago, after it had been in abeyance for many generations. Another man who assisted in its revival was one of the most charming of Welsh poets, a most genial and amiable man, Ceiriog Hughes —(applause)—whose gifted daughter was one of the adjudicators that day.

RHTMNEY. The eleventh annual chair Eisteddfod was held on Tuesday. The chairman was Mr John Varley, London, chairman of directors of the Rhymney Iron Company. A procession, headed by the Rhymney Brass Band, and composed of the fire brigade, ambulance corps, an4 general public, escorted the chairman from the lawn to the Eisteddfod pavilion. Mr John Varley, in his presidential ad- dress, made reference to the present serious* position in the South Wales coal trade. He said he would not strike a note of discord in such a place of harmony, but, he added, it must be said that the drastic and hasty legis- lation that had occurred must create enormous changes, and give very gieat anxiety to those connected with both their breweries and col- lieries. He referred, he said, to the Licensing Bill and Eight Hours Act. The latter must bring about changes in their leading depart- ments either for good or evil. He would, how- ever, not forecast the future. Changes to which he referred must entail hardships. The other day they saw Mr Walter Lewis, the new miners' agent (who sat on the platform), and. they arranged that if there was any cause of hardship they would consider it as favourably as possible. (H, hear.) There was one thing which was absolutely neutral and humanitarian, and that was the question of the establishment of an ambulance brigade. That question had been placed before them that morning, and they had decided the company would support it. (Applause.) Sir Henry Clarke, a member of the board of directors of the company, having referred to the standard of music attained by the younger generation of the valley, said it was gratifying to be associated with the old town of Rhymney and with the company referred to by the president. Whatever the changes, however, might be, he hoped that a means would be found for capital and labour to work in har- mony together. (Hear, hear.) Mr Wa&tef* Lewis, the newly-appointed miners' agent for the Rhymney Valley, in proposing a vote of thanks to the president,. said he joined "lb theTiOpe that the industrial" clouds that were hanging over the coalfield just now would by and by be dispersed, and that industrial sunshine, as it were, would again pisevail. (Hear, heat.) Mr Yorwerth Edwards seconded and the vote was carried heartily. The adjudicators were:—Music, Mr Geo. Riseley, Bristol Mr J. Owen Jones, F.R.C.O., Cardiff and Mr Walter S. Nesbitt, Manches- ter literature, Rev. J. Machreth Rees, Lon- don recitations, Rev. R. S. Rogers, B.A., Mountain Ash mining, Messrs W. Smith, J.P., Rhymney John Evans, Abertysswg and W. T.

Pageant Rolls. EPISODES, INTERLUDES, AND SCENES. Roughly speaking, there are about 4,000 characters that Mr G. P. Hawtrey, the master of the pageant, will have to assign to their re- spective parts in the forthcoming nationa pageant of Wales. The matter is one that requires much method and judg- ment, for no rough-and-ready system, such as putting the names of the characters in one hat and the candidates for parts in another, and then drawing the parts and names lottery fashion, could be expected to bear good fruit in a function of this kind. Even those ladies and gentlemen to yhom various roles have already been assigned may yet be obliged to change them and it must be borne in mind that for every leading character an understudy has to be provided, and that means an additional costume. As matters now stand, however, the following parts have been assigned and accepted COUNTIES. Dame Wales.The Marchioness of Bute. Anglesey .Miss Herbert of Llanarth.

CUTICURA CURED BADJpSES And Running Sores which Grew and Spread Discharge was Dis- agreeable and Pain was Fearful -Continual Buzzing in Head. FOUND A TRUE CURE AFTER MANY FAILURES a About twelve 'months ago ab- scesses began to break out on my head and 1, had running sores behind my ears. They grew and spread and soon a nasty discharge was continually run- ning from them, causing fearful pain. There was always a buzzing noise in my head. I was under, doctor's treat- ment for three months in vain. I also tried several lointmeno, but they failed to give me any relief. At last I thought I would give Cuticura a trial. So I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap, a tin of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Pills. After using them for about twelve days I began to feel con- siderably better. The discharge got less and the abscesses began to die away. I no longer had the buzzing noises in my head. By the time I had started on my second set of the Cuti- cura Remedies I was cured. It is about six months since I was cured and I have never felt the slightest sign of the abscesses returning. I can not give thanks enough for the good Cuti- cura has done me. Mrs. Annie Lyles, Tewin Lower Green, near Welwyn, Herts, England, Nov. 26, 1908." -e- Complexion Cleared By Cuticura in a Month. "For nearly five years I was suffer- ing from a disease on my face and neck which caused a number of spots and blackheads. For a long while I had no signs of cure, having used numerous ointments. Then I was told by a friend Why not use the Cuticura Rem- edies.' I did and the effect was great for in about a month I was released from my old complaint. Thanks to the Cuticura I have now a clear complexion. S. N. Girdlestone, 27, School Hill, Lewes, Sussex, Eng., Dec. 9, 1908."

Negotiations are now going on between the various qhairmen and between the chairmen and the' circuit stewards and the ministers of their respective districts, with a view of reducing the work of the Stationing Committee to a minimum. This committee will meet at the Mission House in London on Wednesday, June 30th, and Thursday, July 1st, so that in about five weeks' time the first draft of the stations will be in circulation.

Provincial in London. Q HIS STORY OF CAB AND LOST WATCH. James Carter, an elderly engineer from Stalyt>ridge,who has been on a visit to London, described to the magistrate at Lambeth on Saturday the circumstances in which he charged Rose Rathbone and Annie Worthing- ton. two well-dressed young women, with having stolen his watch and chain, valued at £ 20. The prosecutor stated that on Friday night, soon after 10 o'clock, *he was standing opposite the Pavilion Music Hall waiting for an omni- bus. The prisoners passed*, and then turned back and entered into conversation with him. They asked him if he would stand them a cup of coffee. They said they came from Man- chester. He took them to a confectioner's shop and they had coffee. Looking at his watch, he said, Well, it's 10.31 exactly I must be off I go home from Waterloo" They said, We live near Waterloo. You can get a four-wheerler and give us a lift." One of the women then engaged a four-wheeler and they all got in, and she told the cabman where to drive. They were so long driving that he said, I am sure we have got past Waterloo." They stopped the cab. Then he missed his watch and chain, and accused the women of stealing; it, which they denied. He struck some matches and looked in-tbe cab, but could not see his watch. His diary he found lying on the opposite seat of the cab it had been opened, and a few papers and stamps taken out. After he had paid the cabman the wom £ n crossed the road and walked down a street op- posite, saying they were going home. He said, I shan't leave you until I meet a police-con- stable." Soon after he met a constable, and he charged the women. The Clerk Have you recovered your watch and chain ? The Prosecutor Oh, dear, no. Mr Cecil Chapman remanded the prisoners, but offered to accept bail.

TRAGEDY OF 24 HOURS. The greatest light of the Russian Consti- tutional Democratic party has suddenly gone out. Deputy Pergament, who represented Odessa, died suddenly on Saturday night from an overdose of morphia. On Friday the Cabi- net had requested the Duma to surrender him to justice on a charge of aiding and abetting a phenomenal female swindler, named Olga Stein, to evade justice by fleeing the country. M. Pergament, who was leading counsel tor the defence is alleged to have insisted on her escaping, and to have given her all the need- ful assistance. He denied the charge vehe- mently, whereupon on Friday the authorities published an indictment, together with a list of witnesses, among whom is Olga, Stein her- self. The shock administered by this turn in affairs brought on a slight paralytic stroke. The whole tragedy was begun and ended in 24 hours. St. Petersburg, Monday.—There was an im- posing procession to-day at the funeral of M. Perfament, one of the most prominent Consti- tutional Democrat Deputies. The Metropoli- tan of St. Petersburg tried to prevent the inter- ment in the orthodox cemetery, and it was only permitted on the intervention of the Premier and President of the Duma.—Reuter.
