..A Pontypridd Liberal Club. BLECTION OF SECRETARY. PRESENTATION TO THE MANAGER. The Pontypridd and District Liberal Club was on Friday evening full to overflowing, the occasion being the election of a secretary in the place of Mr F. G. Edwards, who has resigned, and the opportunity was seized of making a presentation to the popular and successful manager, Mr Walter Davies, who recently be- came a happy Benedict. Councillor D. R. Evans occupied the chair, and presided over the smoker in a capital manner. Five candi- dates offered themselves for the position of secretary, viz., Messrs E. J. Thomas, David Lewis. John Harris, Francis C. Reee, and Wm. Morgan. Messrs Lewis, Harris, and Rees sur- vived the first round of voting, the latter being knocked out in the second round. The final then lay between Messrs Lewis and Harris, the former receiving the majority of votes. Mr David Lewis suitably returned thanks. Coun- cillor D. R. Evans then resigned the chair in favour of Mr Teddy Lewis, who presented Mr Walter Davies, the manager, with the receipt for a handsome and valuable suite of furniture subscribed for by his numerous friends who were members of the Liberal Club. Mr Lewis said the manager had always been held in the highest esteem, and now he had taken unto himself a wife, his friends thought the time had arrived to mark their appreciation of his many sterling qualities by presenting him with a suite of furniture. Mr Davies enjoyed the re- ipect and utmost confidence of a large circle of friends, and he had every reason to be proud of himself. (Hear, hear). His wife, too, dur- ing the short time she had been with them, had won the respcct of every member with whom she came into contact. With such a manager and manageress, and such enthusiasm as was shown that evening, he could not but think that the Liberal Club had a brilliant future before it. (Applause). Only one thing was required. The members would have to prove themselves loyal to the club and the principles it advocated. If they did that they would prove beyond doubt that when it was conducted on broad lines the Liberal Club could not only maintain itself, but prove of service to the party. (Applause). The manager was a Pontypridd boy, born and bred, and from a baby his fond parents had endeavoured to instil into his mind the splendid principles of true Liberalism. (Hear, hear). Mr Walter Davies suitably returned thanks. Among those who contributed vocal and other items at the smoker were: Messrs D. Davies, Tom Farr, Wallie Harris, Walter Chick, Ben Lewis, Charles Phillips, Willie Jones, A. C. Bayliss. Arthur Jones, "Dr" Lyne. Jake Row- lands. Jnek Thomas, Dick Collins, John Sheen, and E. Waite, the accomponist being Mr D. J. Jones.

THE PURSUIT OF THE KHALIFA. The Sirdar is studying the situation with re- gard to an expedition against the Khalifa, and kas not yet arrived at a decision. The weather will not, however, permit an immediate ad- vance. Nothing will be decided until Lord Cromer's return to Cairo. A good deal will depend upon the Sirdar's tour up the White Nile. On the conclusion of this journey Lord Kitchener will, it is expected, confer with Lord Cr&mer, who left England last week for Egypt. In Mr Neufeld's opinion Lord Kitchener will have io move, and that rapidly. If the Emirs, who are said to be attempting to restore the Khalifia, are at Darfur, matters are serious. The Soudanese are used to living by plunder, and a good leader will always e-et a following. Arabi Dafalla, one of the Khalifa's Emirs, must have from six to eight thousand men, and AH Dinar, the other Bmir, probably more. The Sirdar must promptly make a crushing blow to ensure the beginning of peace, but as long- as the Khalifa lives so long will there be disturb- ance. The Khalifa has spies both at Omdur- man and Cairo, so that absolute secrecy is necessary until the moment the troops am ready to move.

JENNY AND I. Jenny and I were lovers, Many and many a year; Poor as I be—but Jenny gave me The gold of her moonlight hair; And I said: "Too ragged a lover To wed with the winsome witch!" And she bent her head, with her lips o' red, And kissed me and made me rich! Jenny and I were lovers, Yonder—in storm and fair; But her blue bright eyes made the summer skies, And her smile the spring <jf the year. Poor as a wayside beggar, Witt tresses around me curled, Like veins o' gold in the rugged mold, I was richer than all the world! Jenny and I were lovers. With only the sky above; And we cared not for a painted cot, For heaven was over our love. The brooks were our mirrors, the water wine That sparkled by hill and glen, Her face beamed pink where I stooped to drink, And the water was sweeter then! Jenny and I were lovers, Many and many a year; But the rose was wed to her lips of red And the moonlight envied her hair; And the red rose creeps where her true heart sleeps And the moonlight falleth drear. Where Jenny and I were lovers Many and many a year. Frank L. Stanton.

THE LOVE-LORN TAILOR AND THE MAID. A TAILOR-MADE SONG. You "suit" me to the ground, my pet, Would that I could persuade you To take me for your husband, yet I ought not to "upbraid" you; Don't be a "goose" and shave your head, But do as you're requested, For you alone I mean to wed, I am still "single-breasted." I take your "measure" in a glance, And I will bet a dollar That many other trirls this chance Would very quickly ''collar;" I don t one single "button" care For any girl but you, love, You ai-e the one I'd win and "wear," To you I will be true, love. Don't keep me longer, love, in doubt, And do not be afraid, dear That any one will "cut you out," You're for this "tailor made," dear. G. D. Lynch in the "Golden Penny."

Pontypridd Licensing Sessions. ♦ The adjourned licensing sessions were con- tinued at the Pontypridd Police Court on Thursday, the magistrates on the Bench being Mr Ignatius Williams (stipendiary), Messrs Thomas Jones, T. P. Jenkins, D. Llewelyn, R. T. Richards, Evan John, David Thomas, Ald.; Richard Lewis, D. W.Davies, E. H. Davies, Dr Parry. SALISBURY HOTEL, FERNDALE. Mr Rhys WWilliams (instructed by Mr Edward Williams, solicitor, Pontypridd) appeared on behalf of Mr David Smith Dr^-ies, the tenant. of the Rhondda Hotel, Ferndale, to apply for a provisional licence for a house being built near the railway station, to be called the Salis- bury Hotel. The house was practically com- plete, and would be fit to carry on business in a month's time. Mr Gerald Bruce opposed on behalf of the owners and tenant ef the Glynrhedynog Hotel and for Mr Perrott, of Tylorstown ond Fern- dale, the mortgagee of the leasehold interest of the Commercial Hotel; Mr Bowen Rowlands opposed on behalf -of the Temperance party, Mr Francis, solicitor, Cardiff, on behalf of the Trehams Brewery Company, the owners of the Commercial Hotel, and Messrs Mcintosh and Dixon on behalf of the first mortgagees of the Commercial Hotel. Mr Rhys Williams stated that the applicant had kept the Rhondda Hotel for many years, and had been the recipient of compliments from the Bench for the way in which he had conducted his business. The new hotel would cost E4,500, and it was the only commercial house in Ferndale. He had a letter, which he would put in, from Mr F. L. Davis, the manag- ing director of Messrs D. Davis and Sons' Col- lieries at Ferndale, expressing a hope that Mr Davies would be successful in getting his li- cence. There was no accommodation near Fern- dale Station, and there was no place for anyone to wait for a train. In Blaenllechau and Fern- dale, there were 1,813 houses giving a popula- tion of 11,784. There were six public-houses, which allowed 1,964 persons per house. If this application were granted it would then allow 1,683 persons to each hotel. There were 176 houses and a population of 1,144 nearer the Salisbury than any other hotel. At present there were 3,289 persons served by the Glyn- rhedynog. Mr T. R. Phillips, architect, Pontypridd, proved the plans, and Mr D. Hannah, general manager of Messrs D. Davis and Sons' Collier- ies, gave evidence in favour of the application. In his opinion there was not sufficient hotel accommodation in Ferndale, especially from a commercial point of view. No posting accom- modation could be obtained. David Evans, an ex-police sergeant, living at Ferndale, and Walter Wilier, commercial tra- veller, also testified as to the insufficent accom- modation. Mr Bowen Rowlands, in his address to the Bench, contended that the accommoda.tion at Ferndale was quite ample for all purposes. In- deed, so well served was it that those who had embarked their capital in licensed premises had been unable to reap a satisfactory financial result. After a short retirement the Bench re- fused the application. AN IMPORTANT RULING. The renewals of the following licences were objected to by the police: Railway Inn, Trefor- est; New Inn, Rhydyfelen; Queen's Hotel, Ystrad; Market Tavern, Pentre; and Red Lion, Dínas. The applications for renewals were supported by Messrs J. E. Spickett, J. Phillips, and G. Bruce, solicitors, Pontypridd, and Mr Spencer, Cardiff, and were oppesed by Mr Donald Mac- lean on behalf of the Temperance party. Mr Maclean put his clerk in the box to formally prove having served the notices of objections upon the licence holders, and he stated that he -sent registered letters to each of the applicants. Mr J. E. Spickett at once rose and contended that that was not evidence. It was iiecessar37 to put in the original letters of objection. Mr Maclean replied that he could not do so as the letters were in the possession of the appli- cants for a renewal. Mr Spickett then held that notices should have been given to him or his clients to pro- duce them. In this view he was supported by all the solicitors engaged in the cases. Mr Maclean then handed in the press copies of the notices, but these were objected to by his opponents, who contended that the notice,, were bad, and that consequently there were no objections to the renewal of the licences, which must then be granted. Mr Maclean replied that all it was necessary to prove that he had de- livered the notices of objection, and it was then oor the (opposition; to rdbut that evidence. Messrs Bruce, Phillips, and Spickett thought otherwise. Mr Maclean was legally compelled to prove the delivery of the original notices, and for this purpose he should have given no- tices to them to produce them. They asked tor their worships' ruling on this point. The Stipendiary, after some further argument, held that the notices were bad, and granted the re- newals. Mr Maclean pointed out that this was a very important ruling, and the first time that point nad been raised. It all previous cases it had !TtheS £ t0 fomally prove th« delivery the case of the Willowford Inn, Upper Boat, the renewal of the licence of which was supported by Mr W- F. Williams, barrister S structed by Mr Harris, solicitor, Merthvr) Mr Maclean opposed on the ground that n.1' inn cotsequent]v" a eni}r^ rebuilt, and consequently a new licence should have been apphed for, instead of a renewal. Mr Williams said the inn had been built on exactly the S

Making te Blind to See. Mr Peter Stiens, a Russian scientist, at present in this country, claims that he has invented a process by which he restores sight to the blind. He has just completed a series of experiments which have been most success- ful. This is what he had to tell a representa- tive of the "Daily News Weekly" as to its invention and its achievements New Eyes for Old. "Y011 say tbat you will make the blind to see?" I asked. Absolutely," replied the claimant. ''But understand me clearly. I do not claim, and I do not attempt, to 'restore' sight as restor- ation is usually understood. I give artificial sight, and it makes no difference whether the person waborn without eyes, whether the eyes are wholly or partially destroyed since birth, or how the sight has gone. My ex- periments are not completed. I have yet nraeh to do; but the results are all that have anticipated so far. Greater things will 11 come. But the sight is already given." 1 gathered that Mr Stein's principle is that he supplies a substitute for the lens of the eye by the aid ol electricity immediately his apparatus. I felt a slight sensation of an elec- body of the individual. "My apparatus will, iie said, "as in the camera, focus the rays of light from the object to the brain, and sight is given, the objects being clearly seen, not inverted, but in their proper form. My ap- paratus constitutes a substitute for the lens.' Seeing with Bandaged Eyes. Mr Stie)is asked me whether I would like to test his apparatus. Naturally I eagerly answered, "Yes," and this is what followed. I was taken by the inventor into a small room. I was then blindfolded effectually. I could see absolutely nothing. Matches and candles were lighted before me, but I could not see them. Then I was connected with his apparatus. I felt a slight sensation of elec- trical current passing through my body. Then quickly the darkness passed away, a dull grey took place (mol was succeeded by a light clear and bright. I saw fingers held up be- fore me) and a disc that looked like a coin. And when I was disconnected from the appar- atus I found I was standing just where I was when the eyes were bandaged; Mr Steins had been by my side all the time, and there was no one else present. Mr Steins appeared to be as delighted as I was surprised at the result. Let it be borne in mind that my eye- sight is perfect. At any rate, I believe so. But my eyes had been completely blind- folded, and all was aljsoltite darkness till the connection with the apparatus took plaoe. The inventor would not permit me to exam- ine the apparatus, patent for which have not yet been applied for. Neither would Mr Steins explain the precise character rf his invention, or the means employed to achieve such results. But as nearly as I can re- member I have described what I gathered to be the principle on which he is working, which, briefly, is that the eye, as we know it, can liave its functions effectually performed by his electrical apparatus. "Here is my in- vention," said he. "It does not matter what I have done ill the past, and I need not now describe the electrical invention* of mine which are now being largely used, especially in Germany, Russia, and other Continental countries. I say I can do what I assert. The thing is, can I do it or not? I make my claim and it is for me to give the proof. You can judge from what you have seen to-day some- thing of the nature of my assertions." The Deaf to Hear. In reply to some questions, Mr Steins said the complete apparatus would be made in such portable and convenient form as to make it quite easy for a person to carry it about so as to place this artificially given light at the individual's disposition for the ordinary practical purposes of life. Spectacles, he ad- ( ded, would be quite unnecessary. "So long as the receiving part,-the brain-is there, my apparatus," he smilingly added, "will do the rest. The rayg of light strike my apparatus instead of the eyes, and pass thence s o the brain, the real camera. And the apparatus will be effective carried anywhere, so long as it is connected with the body, the nearco the brain the better." Mr Stiens is also engaged on an elcc'ical apparatus, by means of which he declares that deaf persons will be made to hear per- fectly. He explained his plan in this vay. "You know," he said, "that if the drum, or tympanic membrane, is at fault, and t-.e small bones, viz., the incus, malleus, and stapes, are present, people are enabled to hear by means of plugs being put into '.he ears; in fact the plug is called a false drum. Now with my apparatus (when the mem barne and the bones are at fault), hearing jrill be given by the application of the apparatus to the surface of the body. The body; s good conductor of the electric current, and when the apparatus is in use at one end the person wishing to speak to the 'eaf speaks into the apparatus, the vibrations are tarried through to the person being spoken ix), and thence, by nerves to the resonating chamber, and so along the eustaohian tube to the audi- tory nerve, which conveys the sound to Vin- centre of haaring in the brain." Asked if the auditory nerve was at fault, what then? Mr Siens said another nerve would be, so to speak, educated to :k its J place. Such are some of the claims made ty this electrician, who! has (been responsibly for several inventions in the past He has only lately recovered from a prolonged i.lness, oc casioned by dangerous expeirmonts in which he had engaged for other purpo-s..Now Ie is iit work again, and makes these astonish- ing claims. It is for him to show whether he can justify them.
