Shooting Pains in' September.
Shooting Pains in September. How a Victim of Acute Rheumatism was curco by Dr. Williams' Pínk Pills. "Sharp pains shot from one limb to another, so acute that for over twelve months I scarcely knew a moment's peace." This remark was made to a journalist recently by Mr. John Oliver, of 24, Zet- land Street, Belfast, who recounted how he was seized with an attack of liheu- matism. Ordinary treatments gave him no relief, and it was not until Mr. Oliver purified and renewed his blood by tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pill- that he re- gained full health. "Two years ago," he continued, "I fell very ill. One morning on getting out of bed, my spine and legs felt stiff and painful. Soon the pain extended to my arms. It was like cramp-, later the pains shot from one pan of my body to another. Every movement meant agony, and I sometimes shouted with the pain. Matters got so bad that to put my foot to the ground cseiit agony ilving through me. Could get abouf only with the aid of sticks. I I kept on taking medicine for Rheuma- tism, and used e m b r o c ations, but my feet swelled and my knuckles became "warped." I scarcely got a wink of sleep at nights, but lay groaning with agony. Doctors said that the Rheumatism had got., such a thor- ough hold of my system that 1 should never be free from it. At the best I could only manage to get about with the aid of my sticks. I was like a weather-glass, for the pains varied with every change in the weather. A specialist said my only chance of getting well was to get away from Bel- fast. So I went into the country, but the change did no good. Then one day a friend advised me to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. I got a supply and began taking the Pills. After a time the Rheu- matism was not so intense, and I was able to sleep better at nights. The swel- ling in my legs and ankles went down. My knuckles gradually went back to their proper shape, and I was able to move about without the sticks. "As I persevered with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I got stronger. Soon I was as well and active as though I had never had Rheumatism. I have never had a twinge of pain since Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored my health." Write for the booklet Diseases of the Blood," sent post free on application to address below. Victims of Rheumatism need rich, red blood to cure them, and the reason Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured so many sufferers is that they create New, Red Blood. Thus have they also cured Anaemia, Debility, Headaches, Neural gia, St. Vitue' Dance, Sciatica, Nervous Disorders, and Ladies' Ailments.

Aberdare Miners' Annual.
Aberdare Miners' Annual. ELOQVENT SPEAKERS AND A VAST ASSEMBLY. A LIVE I. Y CLOSING SCENE. The annual .demonstration of the A bei-daie Miners was held on Monday. The huge processions to the Market Hall were headed by the Aberdare Town U,: urL the Aberaman Silver Band, and the Cwmaman Silver Band, who together gave a deetioll to open the meeting. Mr. Richard Phillips, chairman of the DistuVc, presided over an extremely iarge attendance. The omnibus resolution, which was adopted at a Council meeting held on June :20. was proposed by Mr. C. B. Stanton, the agent, who had a good re- ception. He explained that there was now something more at issue than was embodied in the resolution. Other classes of workers were all in the same boiling pot as the miners were. If the employers would lash them into a sense of appreciation of their unhappy condi- tions some good would accrue from the present crisis. The Federation had drifted into a condition of dry rot. Be- fore long however he hoped they would have a general washing day. They were out to make the Federation a useful in- strument. They proposed to reform it from within. It was cried that Social- ists were trying to capture the Trades Unions. Well, they simply stood by those who were oppressed by capitalists. Because they dared to think and act for themselves they were accused of being exploiters, whereas the actual exploit- ers were those people who accused them. ff ever there was a day when unity was necessary it was now. The employers were combining with the view of putting the workers down. Let the employed close their ranks with the object of counteracting their actions. There must be an industrial evolution. Certain men in the coalfield had had their views and their day, and now it was time for these fossilised views to go by the board. (Hear. hear.) If at any time his own views would become fossilised he would not object to younger men with newer ideas taking his place. They would not allow their fellow workmen, the firemen and the shipbuilders, to suffer. Let Labour stand on its dignity, and if their oppressors would not listen to the voice of warning, then at a given signal all the wheels of industry in the district would be stopped. (Loud applause.) Councillor Illtyd Hopkins seconded the resolution. He emphasised the need of having working men inspectors of coal mines, and the need of legislation to relieve Trades Unions from the disa- bilities created by the Osborne judg- ment. Touching upon the attempt to divide the Federation, he would like to remind them that the Federation had been the means of obtaining for them ( an Eight Hours Day and several other blessings. (Hear, hear.) Councillor J. James, Cwmgorse, said that he was a peace-maker and a lover of peace, but not peace at any price. He deprecated the stumbling blocks placed on the path of progress by sectional ob- structionists. What was required of them as cultured workmen was not force or violence of any kind, but intellectual energy. He referred to the action of the law courts in twisting the law of the land to suit the interests of the exploit ing capitalists. One instance of this was the the notorious Taff Vale judg- ment. Afterwards they, the workmen, began to ask among themselves why not send to Parliament men of their owr class to make legislation which would be-just to the working classes? The re sutl- was that a number of Labour M.P. found their way to St. Stephen's. Then the Philistines commenced saying, "Well we must keep these Trades Unions in their proper places. We will decide that it is illegal to contribute to- wards keeping Labour M.P.'s in Parlia- ment. Eventually it was discovered that men like Thomas Burt and John Burns had been illegally representing their constituents in Parliament for several years. But it was through Unionism that they as workmen had re- ceived every privilege—whether politi- cal, social, or industrial. Outside of Unionism there was no hope of salva- tion for the workers. Let them seek first the kingdom of true Unionism and all these things would be added unto them." If they wanted a fighting and a forward policy let them combine and contribute. Let them rise above the level of the pint a week contribution to the Federation. Mr. Tom Mann was the next speaker. He held that he understood the present situation better than the newspapers did. Like Mr. James, he was also not a peace-at-any-price man. The cause of the present unrest was not a little dis- satisfaction on the part of a few under- paid men. It was far deeper. A new generation had risen which had imbibed more economic knowledge than their fathers. They had no personal motives and thev sought no material advantage. They sought no patronage from the capitalist press. They had felt that the capitalists were the domineering and the exploiting class. This discontent was the outcome of a truer conception of the workers' position and the workers' rights. Now while there was an oppor- tunity for solidifying the Federation it was utter folly to promote any section- alism. If there were any non-union men present he would ask them not to be traitors. He would ask the ladies present to urge upon the men the neces- sity of falling into line with their work. ing comrades. A person in the body of the hall asked that the latter part of the resolution dealing with increased Federation con- tributions should be separately put. Others advocated the same course, one person stating he was against paying an extra contribution. Considerable commotion followed, and several persons made attempts to ad- dress the meeting. Order having been partially restored, Mr. Stanton, addressing' the interrup- ters, said, "You are only asked to agree to the spirit of this part of the resolu- tion now. You shall have an oppor- tunity of voting again when the ballot comes off. (Disorder, and cries of No, no.") Another effort having been made by the chairman to restore order, Mr. J. Palmer, a prominent member of the new Union in the district, asked why they could not get the scheme submitted by Mr. Noah Tromans at the conference re- cently held. Mr. C. B. Stanton, speaking amidst considerable disorder, said, "You have no right to ask a question here. You happen to be against the Federation, and we are not going to lend this meeting to you in order to advocate, your new Union." (Cheers and counter-cheers.) Mr. Tom Mann: If there are any pres- ent who are against the resolution they can vote against it or support an amend- ment if one is proposed. a Is it right—?" asked Mr. John Wil- liams, the secretary of the new Union. His further remarks were drowned by the cries of the audience, He is not a Federationist." Mr. Stanton, addressing Mr. Wil- liams, said, "This is not your meeting. You have no right to speak here. You are not a member of the Federation." (Cries of "Chuck him out.") Mr. S. Stephens, checkweigher, point- ing to an interruptor, said, This man is one of the greatest enemies of the Federation. He has led the wagemen to believe that they have been misled by the Federation." Mr. Mann again put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carried.
Doan's Investigations Continued.
Doan's Investigations Continued. ABERDARE MAN COMES FORWARD. Our recent announcement, that we were arranging to conduct an enquiry into Doan's numerous local cases, has met with the widespread appreciation of our readers. To-day a well-Vnown Aberdare resident comes forward and gives his personal experience, which he authorises us to publish for the benefit of others. Mr D. Treharne, of 16, Olive Street, Trecynon, Aberdare, says:—"For some time I had bad pains in my back-they were very sharp indeed, and sometimes I was almost helpless, having to work in all manner of positions in the pit. When I was lifting anything my back felt as if it would break. I tried all I could to get well, but it was no good. Doan's backache kidney pills, however, soon made my back well, and they improved my health in every way. I am better now than I have been for years." Nearly 4 years atfer his cure, Mr Treharne said:—" I can still put in a a good word for Doan's pills. They are a splendid medicine, and I have only had occasion to use them a few times since I gave my testimony for them some years ago," Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine- pence.

N.U.T.
N.U.T. ABERDARE RAMBLING CLUB. Talybont-on-Usk was the destination on Saturday, the 10th inst. The day was ideal and the district is rich in its at- tractions for the botanist and antiquar- ian, but the day and district did not at- tract the Aberdare Ramblers in any great numbers last Saturday. Those that did visit that beautiful district were amply repaid, and they secured fine specimens of rare flowers and plants. The walk along the Brecon canal from Talybont to Pencelli and Llanfengan cannot be de- scribed worthily in words. The fir-clad hills, the winding Usk, the stately man- sions, the white-washed cottages and the country Bethels all seem to add charm to the district. On the site of the Pencelli Castle, once the abode of Roger Mortimer, and after- wards of the Herberts, is now a substan- tial farmhouse with extensive out-build- ings, and a huge orchard. About a quarter of a mile from the castle is Llan- feugan Church. The roadway leading to it is coveerd with beautiful grass. The first view of the church from a distance of about three hundred yards filled the visitors with delight. The church tower appears above the tall yew trees which surround the church, the fir-clad hill forming an enchanting back-ground. The yew trees in this yard cannot be equalled in South Wales, either in girth or sym- metry. They are twelve in number, and several of them between twenty and thirty feet in circumference—one is 29ft. After the return from Llanfeugan, Llansantffraid, which is within five hun- dred yards of Talybont Station on the B. and M. Railway, was visited. This church is noted on account of the great care bestowed upon the building an I churchyard. Also on account of the cele- brated Thomas Vaughan, a native of the parish, who became rector of the church in the time of Charles I. He was de- prived of his living during the Common, wealth, and thereupon he devoted him- self with great assiduity to the study of philosophy, experimental chemistry, and oriental literature, in all of which he greatly distinguished .himself, as well as in English and Latin poetry. His brother was Henry Vaughan, M.D., the author of Olor Iscanus" and other songs. Henry Vaughan was buried at Llansantffraid in 1695. His tombstone was recently renovated. "Beyond the veil," by Henry Vaughan, shows the flow of George Herbert at his best. These lines are quoted by Longfellow in his "Hyperon." The rhythm is ex- quisite. No doubt the rural scenery of the district kindled the spirit of poetry in the breast of Henry Vaughan. The angler will find a visit to the Usk and Cvfannedd near Talybont pleasant and profitable. The next Ramble will be on September 24th to the source of Dar and Lluestai- Uwvdion.

Trinity, Aberd • «
Trinity, Aberd « SERMON BY THE REV. E. G. MILES. The occupant of Trinity's pulpit on Sunday last was the Rev. E. Griffith Miles, B.A., of Aberdare, now pastor of Spellow-lane Presbyterian Church. Liverpool. In the morning Mr. Miles delivered an extremely interesting ad- dress to the juveniles. He dealt par- ticularly with the Boy Scout Movement. He remarked that order, enthusiasm, and devotion were characteristic ele- ments in the Boy Scout's life, and should be outstanding traits in the character of every young Christian soldier. The preacher's remarks were so simple and homely that they could be understood and appreciated by every present. Mr. Miles selected as the text of his sermon, And Jacob went on his way and th- angels of Gud met him." Jacob, observed the preacher, was a 20th cen- tury man, cariying with him from a dis- tant land the spoils of commercialism. He had been engrossed in the pursuits of modern business. He had tteeped him- self in deceit and treachery. He had first encountered Laban. Greek met Greek and then came the tug of war. But in fhe test La ban had i.ust departed and we read that Jacob had met the angels. It was another of God's great chances for his soul. There stood before him the blight vision of the angels of God. This man, who had surrendered his right to the company of angels, was still visited by them. Our conception of an angel was altogether wrong. It was a winged, effeminate, unreal thing. But the type of angel that Jacob saw was real. There was something angelic in the after-life of Jacob. We find in the tone of his. prayer a dependency on God, a humility of spirit. A mass of new feelings, came. to Jacob's heart, and when he tried to describe his feelings to the person who wrote this story he said that the angels had met him. What was wrong with us was not that we did not meet the angels, but that we did not wrestle with them and conquer them, as Jacob did. It was true that Jacob bore a physical scar after the conflict. Something material had to be sacrificed in order to acquire something spirtual. Finally Mr. Miles exhorted his hearers to: (1) Watch and train their spiritual faculties. (2) Be willing to wrestle for spiritual blessings. (3) Go to the cross of Christ to learn the secret of sacrifice. Then the Labans would go but the angels would come. I

R.A.O.B. I On Friday evening, at the Baden Powell Lodge, which is held at the Farmers' Arms, Aberdare, a very inter- tesing and largely attended meeting was held for the purpose of presenting Bro. Win.stone, C.P., with a beautiful oil painting of himself in full regalia. The picture, which was suitably framed, and bore an. inscribed tablet of massive brass, was executed by Bro. Watson. C.P., C.S., and was subscribed for by the Brethren of the above Lodge as a token of their high esteem of the recipient. The chair was occupied by B.ro. Smith, W.P. Bro. Rees, C.P., made the pre- sentation on behalf of the Lodge. He felt that he could not do justice to such an auspicious occasion, and in respect of a person so worthy as Bro. Winstone. who was held in the highest esteem by the whole of the brethren of his lodge. (Hear, hear.) Bro. Winstone's devotion to the most noble Order was exemplary. He was an embodiment of the high principles inculcated in the Order, (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the re- cipient would live long to enjoy the high esteem of the brethren. (Cheers.)—Bro. Winstone, in thanking Bro. Rees and the Brethren for their kindness, said he was too much overcome to make a speech, but he would say that he great- ly valued their act of kindness, and would continue to serve the noble Order as long as he would be spared. (Loud cheers.)—Bros. H. Knight (K.O.M.), F. Griffen (E.O.M.), G. Harris (K.O.M.), J.' McCormack (O.P.), E. J. Hunt (C.P.), W. Williams (C.P.), and F. W. Mill- ward (C.P.) all spoke highly of Bro.

Great ideas are mightier than the passions.
BITS FROM BOOKS.
BITS FROM BOOKS. UNDER FULL SAIL. Here is a little picture of life in the Navy. Were it not that it comes from "Boyish Re- miniscences of his Majesty the King's Visit to Canada in 1860" (Murray), by Lieutenant Thomas Bunbury Gough, R.N., then a mid- shipman on H.M.S.. Hero, it would be hard to believe it only a half-century old We had now been three days at sea, and had not sighted more than two or three ships. His Royal Highness expressed a wish to see a ship at sea under sail at close quarters. With a view to allow his wish to be gratified, the Commodore signalled to the Ariadne to close within speaking distance. At the same time we hauled up our courses let fly topgallant and Royal sheets, and hauled down the flying jib. As the ship's way was ehpcked our consort carne up on our lee quarter, and his B ->j Highness was presented with what I maintam is one of the finest sights in the world—that is, a ship at sea under full sail. It was a superb 1 in to show the Prince. As the beautiful frigate time ranging up she lifted to the sea. Her copper shone like bur- nished gold above, the long line of guns; aloft her taUt, masts and riggnng, her cloud of white canvas as steady as if carved; while above all her long blue pennant soared and flickered up- ward like a tongue of blue flame. I think, at that moment, his Royal Highness must have felt a glow of pride at the thought- of being the first of "all Englishmen, or rather, say Britons. Boy- like, at first he uttered exclamations of delight, then his upturned face grew thoughtful; I won- dered of what he was thinking. Did he realise his destiny? I had curious thoughts myself. The Commodore wag evidently nervous as the Ariadne sailed close, but. there was nothing: to be nervous iboi-it least, from the Ariadne, handled as she was by the consummate seaman who commanded her.. As she came still closer up we could see the tall form of Captain Vansit- tart standing on the weather side of the bridge, oag in £ '-1; ^cntlein^n aijrl loyal subject* as he was, to his future Sovereign. A few inquiries were tnatift by him as to the wel- fare of the Prince, which were answered by the Commodore. The signal to resume station was given, the Hero made sail again, whilst the Ariadne dropped astern to her usual distance.
-__-------A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY.
A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY. The first two imes of the following poem are well known, but the rest of it is not so familiar. The verse* come, of course, from Miss Ella Wheeler Poems (Gay and Hancock): Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, It has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Srh, it is lost on the air; The "echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be gind. and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all- There are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a large and lordly train, I But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain.
\THE SPIRIT OF PERMANENCE.
THE SPIRIT OF PERMANENCE. In Sheridan there was always something delicate and airy and unearthy, a gossamer exquisiteness which give-s a grace to every aspect of his memory. Mr. W. Sichel, in his i: Sheridan (Constable), gives a fine sum- mary of his study: There are beings who possess the talisman of survival. Thev continue to live in a romance of their own, long' after they have vanished from Ail& Stage. Their vividness, their picturesqueness, haunt the scenes of remote ages, and pervade the imagination of mankind. They are themselves a drama. With them and of them, history becomes legend, and a legend turns into history. A cycle of myth gathers round them, and they propagate their own fanci- ful essence in many forms and in divers places. Such was Byron, such has already proved Dis- raeli. It is not so with the obstinate characters of the world. No after-plot will ever adhere to Locke, or to Newton, or to Bentha.m, or to John Stuart Mill. But this portent of the personal is I reserved for the dreamers and fantasts, for those who have the magetic quality which always com- pels the future. Sheridan was no dreamer, but a fantast. he certainly was; nor will he ever cease to interest even those who cannot respect him. At this moment, both in England and America, the tragi-comedy of his life and the living force of his plays attract many who know little of the inner circumstances attending them. A sprite Sheridan remains, hovering above the puppet- show of existence. He belongs not to the white- robed immortals who sit radiant and aloft, but to the elfin band who have never faded from the atmosphere. His province is not history but wonderland.
THE SPIRIT OF THE HILLS.
THE SPIRIT OF THE HILLS. In a preliminary chapter to his Mountain Adventures at Home and Abroad \Methuen) Mr. G. D. Abraham thus .describes the varied aspects which weather imparts to mountain scenery: On the æsthetic side the vast storehouse of Nature is the ,.1; vuuioers playground; the pros- pects near and far are almost Overpowering in their magnificence. No two days are alike on any mountain, but all are delightful. An ascent may be made on a day of cloudless sunshine, with rocks dry and warm, when everything "goes" like clockwork. On another occasion the same rocks m-y be wet and slippery, clouds may blot out all tne view, and the enervating influ- ence may affect the powers and tempers of the party. Perchance a loose rock may be carelessly handled, and as it crashes on the crags in too dangerous proximity the air becomes sulphurous with flying fragn 1 t Or, again, the rough grasp of the sto may seize the mountain in and the puny mortals who brave the perils of the icy steep." The summit may be won, but the descent may possibly resolve itself into a grim struggle with the forces of Nature and the aggravated difficulties of downward progress. 111e clash of the elements and the altered ap- pearance of former landmarks may lead to way- wardness, and exhausted energies whilst trying back for the proper route.

The existing system of trade winds, iowever, makes it difficult to understand how they can have passed frcn one hemisphere into the other. Is it that some of those brought to the yngator in the north- east trades can have carried aloft and caught in norm-west v-aoe winds of the southern hemisphere
