The Coming Struggle. Socialism and the Workers. Wealth the Reward of Laziness. Comrade Gee, of Northamoton (Parlia- mentary Socialist candidate for Ashton- ynder-Lyne), addressed a meeting at the •Theatre Royal Tonypandy, on Sunday flight, on Socialism and the Class Struggle." Mr. Noali Recs, Clydacli Vale, presided. The speaker said he did not think there was ever a time in the history of the Socialist movement when so much spurious rubbish was disseminated as there was now. They had reached a. stage "Of .development which was extremely ■critical for the movement. The country was scoured with adventurers, who would make them believe that Socialism, instead ?? being a militant system making for the complete destruction of capitalism, Was a big Co-operative Society or Band Hope. Socialism was a science, and, "ke other sciences, it was a scientific form materialism. It was useless to try to humbug themselves that there was no *o°m in the English mind for materialism. was essential, when postulating truths, ,"e.as clear and as possible, if in their future researches after truth it was necessary to undermine outidations which had hitherto been °oked upon■ as sacred and inviolable, they not to shrink or fall back, but press ,u b°Wly.

Freaks of Nature- Rliondda visitors to Cardiff should not fail to see the remarkable cat with 6 feet and the live hen with 4 perfect legs. These are wonderful specimens of the pranks of nature, and are well worth seeing. They are on view at Mr. J. H. Ormond's bird establishment, 25, Wynd- ham Arcade, Cardiff, and Mr. -Ormond will be pleased to show them to all Rhon- clda visitors to Cardiff.

Treherbert Nursing Association. The benefits of skilled nursing under medical supervision having now become so generally recognized in Treherbert and district the Association feel that, in pro- viding for it, they are doing what is now deemed to be an indispensible necess- ity in every industrial centre. As this Association is entirely dependent, on vol- untary subscriptions, it was decided at a committee meeting held a' few weeks ago, to make a house-to-house appeal for con- tributions towards the cost of the pro- vision of skilled nursing for this year. From the annual report of last year, it was evident that a very large amount of good work was being done by the nurse in the district, and we therefore hope that the inhabitants of this district will not neglect to generously subscribe when the collectors call upon them. The ser- vices of the nurse, which are confined to those living between the Tvnewydd and Abergorcliy gates, and the workmen of Ynysfeio, are for cases among the sick poor and working classes in their own homes. The nursing of patients is car- ried on under the direction of the medi- cal practitioners, who are empowered to call in the! services of the nurse at their discretion, and also applications can be made direct to the nurse for her services. An association for the execution of BucIJ noble work should not lack the unani- mous support of the working classes of Treherbert, and we trust that the inhabi- tants will not let the opportunity paas, by which they can show their appreciation. of such splendid services.

Ton=Pentpe Police Court. Monday—Before Messrs. T. P. Jenkins (chairman), Enoch Da vies, W. T. Jones, R. S. Giiffitlus, Alderman Richard Lewis and Mr. J. D. Williams. A "SEALED" FATE.

Daniel Jones, a Tonypandy youth, was charged with jostling at Tonypandy. Jones was one of a number of other boys who carried on the same game near the Theatre Royal, but his giving a false name and address necessitated some delay in bringing him to hook. Defendant said that he gave. a wrong name and address because he was so excited when spoken to by P.C. Fuller. Mr. T. P. Jenkins: But surely you were not so excited as to forget your own name (laughter). A fine of 5s. was imposed. A SOLDIER FOR A DAY. You are not fit to have a King's uniform" was the remark addressed by Mr. T. P. Jenkins to Daniel Jones, col- lier, Treorchy.

Emma was before the Bench a fort- night ago on a similar charge, and the case against her was then adjourned for a month on her promise to reform. Mr. T. P. Jenkins: This is your 178th appearance, and there might have been many more against you if you were dealt with less leniently. You will go to prison for a month but I don't suppose that will do you any good. GOING FOR A RIDE. Wm. James Thomas (1 Gi) and Edward Edwards (19), collier-boys, Clydach Vale, were charged with damaging stones- and trams belonging to the Eastern Colliery Quarry, Pentre. P.S. Walter Da vies said that on Sun- day, February 14th, he saw defendants go to the quarry, and throw the stones out of a loaded tram (breaking the stones in throwing them), and detaching the rope that fastened the tram to the stop- block at the top of the incline. When witness asked them why they did so, they replied that there were going to have a ride. Both defendants were fined 90s. each. WORKING A LAME HORSE. Noah Meredith, grocer, Tonypandy, and William Evans, De Winton Street, Tony- pandy, were jointly charged with working a lame horse. Inspector Barrack, of the N.S.P.C.A., proseouted, and Mr. D. W. James, soli- citor, Tnypandy, defended. Inspector Barrack said that about 3.15 p.m. on Friday, February 18th, he saw defendant's horse, a ten-year-old bay gelding, going towards Trealaw, and noticed it was lame on the near fore leg He called the driver's attention to it who replied that the horse was stiff fro- rheumatism. Witjne^s afterwards went to Mr. Meredith's shop and called hi attention to it, and explained that i 1. horse was in pain. Cross-examined by Mr. D. W. JpT«e:s witness said that he had seen the hom- working. He also explained that th horse suffered from ringbone a.nd sdde- bone, and it was quite lame, and the les was swelling. Mi-. R. S.

Prosecutor said that tt- was not k> ir this case. Mr, Merodith said that he 1 a, stiffness in the horse's 1 thought it war- due to rhe" I* had bought th- hm-se .th,<"o vem-s > and he gave. C l/ for it. °o i It had bought it, it had .a' > r b t .rheumatism, and when lie saw it about a month ago, and noticed the stiffness in its leg, lie thought that it was due to rheumatism, and that exercise would do it good. He, however, seldom saw the horse, and left the matter with his driver. When Inspector Barrack came and told him that the horse was not fit for road work, he immediately stopped the horse from working and told Evans to sell it to some farmer. Win. Evans, the driver, said that the horse was not lame, but stiff owing to rheumatism. He was not aware that the horse was suffering; there was nothing to be seen on the outside of the leg, and the horse was all right in the stable. Defendants were fined 10s. each. A 50s. HORSE.

New Hospital for Upper Rhondda. We are informed that a movement lias been started for the erection of a hospi- tal, either at Treherbert or Treorchy. Being that the nearest hospital at present is at Porth the founding of such an insti- tution at either of the above places would be a great boon to the upper parts of the valley. Much expenditure would certainly be involved, but when we consider how much! good this project may do for the inhabi- tants, it is certain that they would have their money's worth with interest. A, representative meeting will shortly be « held for the consideration of the advisa- ability of adopting this scheme. Repre- sentatives from the Upper Rhondda coll- ieries will be present, and it is said that the owners also, will be represented. Pron-i the many cases which are sent to Porta and Cardiff one sees that such an insti- tution is well needed.
