Scratched Until He Bled.
Scratched Until He Bled. BLEEDING PILES ALMOST SENT HIM MAD, UNTIL ZAM-BUK CURED HIM. For two years Mr. Reuben Betts, a ^iner, of 24, Wharfe Road, Pinxton, nr. ^fretonl Derby, experienced the horrors bleeding piles. Then he followed the advice of a workmate and tried Zam-Buk Ivith the result that he was quickly and Miraculously freed from the torturing •^ease. Telling his story to an Alfreton Adver- r reporter, Mr. Betts said:—■" Two +kar,s a-?° I began to suffer from piles, and he pain from the constant burning itch 'as at times- maddening. The doctor ,ave me an injection and special ointment medicine, but the piles never got a easier. During the daytime the pain almost unbearable, but at night as M0,11 as I got warm in bed the itching "a something terrible. I was obliged to *Cl"atdh to try to get a little ease, and I ^Ually scartched until I bled freely. )*hen I sat down or walked about I suf-- fti"ed agonies from the tormenting pain itch, while the constant bleeding ^ade me so weak I had to give up work. I tried many so-called remedies, but j/8 month after month went by I lost all Really, when a mate urged me to /y Zam-Buk, I first felt it was useless try anything more, but just to please I bought a box and used some the ^Qie night. Almost immediately after I Pplied Zam-Buk I was able to get some J^nd sleep, for the first time for many r^nths. When I awoke the pain was not &a;rly so acute, and a further liberal ,1e&sing with this grand balm gave me during the day. j, I repeated the Zam-Buk dressings gularly and I made wonderful progress /ards a complete cure. My friends astonished to see me going to my /°rk cheerfully again, and I was not slow .tote,ii them what was curing me. Well, the inching and burning died away alto- ■f^her as I continued with Zam-Buk, and "So piles were gradually overcome, and °n I wag quite free.

I Late Mr. Arthur Lewis. Interment at Llanddewi Velfrey. The funeral of Mr. Arthur Griffith Poyer Lewis, Stipendiary magistrate for Pontypridd and Rhondda, and Chancellor of the Dioceses of Llandaff and St. David's, took place on Saturday last at Llanddewi Velfrey. The remains were conveyed from Cardiff (G.W.R.) by the 7.16 a.m. train, and were met at Clyn- derwen by the deceased gentleman's tenants on the estates of Henllan, Molleston and Grove. At the entrance to the churchyard the cortege was met by the Bishop of St. David's, the Arch- deacon of Llandaff, and the vicar of the parish (Rev. John Williams), the last- named reciting the opening sentences of the Church of England burial service, whilst the body was being placed in front of the altar. Mr. George Smith played on the organ, 0 rest in the Lord." The Archdeacon then read a special Psalm and the lesson, and the congregation sang the hymn, Let saints on earth in concert sing." Whilst the coffin was being lowered into the griave, which was- lined with moss, ivy, and double arabis, from Tre- wern Gardens, the Bishop performed the commitment rite. Among the many wreaths sent was the following: \Vitli greatest and heartfelt sympathy for the magistrates who had the privilege of sitting with him at his police court, Porth."
Fire at Tonypandy.
Fire at Tonypandy. Bird's Nest Sets Roof Ablaze. A fire occurred on Saturday at 14, Kenry Street, Tonypandy, resulting in the partial destruction of the roof. The fire was first seen by Mrs. Harris, a neigh- bour, and she promptly informed the inmates. Ladders were immediately secured, and water was thrown over the conflagration. By this time members of the local Fire Brigade and the Police Force arrived, and played the hose on the fire, whilst others removed part of the roof to prevent the fire from spread- ing to the adjoining houses. It was even- tually got under. The cause of the fire is supposed to be a spark from a neighbouring chimney falling into a bird's nest built in the roof, or the ignition of a match carried by the birds to the nest, by the heat of the sun. The damage done is estimated at about £10.
Porth.
Porth. It is with profound regret we chronicle the death of an old and respected inhabi- tant in the person of Mrs. Margaret Hughes (59), wife of Mr. John Hughes, Boot Stores, Hannah Street. Deceased had been indisposed for some time. It will be remembered that about three years ago she underwent a serious opera- tion at the Porth Cottage Hospital. Grave hopes of recovery were entertained, but fortunately progress in health pre- vailed, until her recovery was apparently completed. She, however, expired at her son's residence, 27, Aldergrove, Porth, on Thursday last. Deceased was a faith- ful and active member at Bethania (W.E.) Chapel, where her loss will be keenly felt. The funeral took place on Tuesday, amid manifestations of respect and sympathy. The officiating ministers were Dr. Waldo James (Bethania), Rev. J. Edwards (Salem), and the Rev. Davies (Treforest). There was a large gathering of relatives and friends pre- sent. Numerous wreaths, both expensive and beautiful, covered the coffin. Bethania Choir (under the conductorship of Mr. R. Evans) sang several hymns en route to the place of interment (Llethrddu, Tre- alaw). The mourners were :—Mr. John Hughes (husband); Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hughes (son and daughter-in-law); Mr. John H. Hughes (sow); Mr. and Mrs. Evan Hughes; Messrs, J. H. and Daniel Hughes (sons); Mr. and Mrs. Pugh (son- in-law and daughter); Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Trealaw (son-in-law and daughter); Mr. and Mrs. C. Gubbinigs, Llantwit Vardre (son-in-law and daughter); Miss Edith Hughes (daughter); Mr. A. Rich- ards, Tonyrefail; Mr. D. D. Richards, Cae'rysgol Farm; Mr. Watkin Richards; Messrs. Daniel Richards (senr.) and Danl. Richards (junr.); Mrs. Roderick, Boot Stores; Mr. Williams, Pencoed; Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Tonyrefail; Mr. John Harris, Pontycymmer, and family; Mr. William Isaac and family; Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Pentre; Mrs. Richards, Kenfig Hill; Mi's. Caddie, Gyfeillon; Mus. Jones, Llantwit Vardre, &c. Numerous letters were received from business firms and friends expressing deepest sympathy with the bereaved family.
Concert at Blaenelydach.
Concert at Blaenelydach. A very enjoyable concert wa" held at Gosen Chapel, Blaenclydach, on Thurs- day last. The artistes were:-S,oprano, Miss Ma.v Moses, Treherbert; contralto, Miss Mary Richards, Rhymnev; tenor, Mr. Tom Bonnell, Pentre; bass, Mr. Godfrey Price, Tylorstown. Although not one of the artistes could attach London to their names, yet the quality of the music sung and the singing itself were very good indeed and it is to be -hoped that local committees will now recognise the fact that there is no need to go far afield for artistes when arranging a miscellaneous. The stranger to this district was Mr. Price, who did so well on tour with the Mountain Ash Male Voice Party in America. He sang Big Ben and" The Bugler," and created an excellent impres- sion. He has a real bass voice, with the upper register well cultivated, and a com- pass of over two octaves. The other artistes have been heard here before, but it was a pleasure to renew acquaintance when the renderings showed no deterioration. Miss May Moses was in splendid voice, her songs being" Ii Bacio and "O na byddai'n haf oliyd." The former song was rendered in a delightful manner1. Miss Mary Richards sang The Valley by the Sea and Tosti's ''Good-bye," songs that served to show her excellent voice to the best advantage. Her duet, The Venetian Boat Song," with Miss Moses, was one of the best items of the evening. Although Mr. Bonnell receives last notice, still his,, sing- ing of Waft her angels" and The Sailor's Grave materially contributed to the success of the concert. The Rev. J. Walters presided, and Mr. John Llewellyn played the accompani- ments. The proceeds are to be devoted to Mr. Wm Evans, Court Street, who has been unable to work for some considerable time.
Rhondda Emigrant's Death.
Rhondda Emigrant's Death. News is to hand- from West Pittston, U.S.A., of the death of Mr. John N. Davies, brother of Mrs. David Davies (wife if the well-known Rhondda tenor of Ton-Pentre), in his 59th year. Deceased was a, native of Treherbert, arid emigrated to America in 1880, taking up his resi- dence .at Nanticoke. Five years later he was wedded to Mi-ss Marv Morgans and removed to Pittston. Mr. Davies is sur- vived by his wife, three daughters and one son. The interment took place at Nanticoke Cemetery.
Bazaar at Cymmer.
Bazaar at Cymmer. Mr. Insole's Cigar Case. The bazaar at the St. James' School- room on Thursday afternoon last was one of unprecedented success. Mrs. Insole, The Court, Cardiff, performed the opening ceremony. The schoolroom was beauti- fully decorated and was aglow with ex- citement and enthusiasm. The bazaar was inaugurated to raise funds to clear off a debt of C250 on the Parish Church Improvements, Fund, and to provide funds for the enlargement of a hall at Cymmer. Vicar Thomas, who presided on Thurs- day, expressed his pleasure in welcoming Mrrs. Insole to their parish to open their bazaar. When he approached Mrs. Insole at The Court upon the matter, he had been graciously received by her, and had come away delighted. The late Mr. Insole had been a, very great friend of the Church and had contributed largely to its sup- port. In fact, had it not been for him, and Mr. Henry Lewis, of Llanishen, it was probable they would not be in pos- session of such a church as they had at Cymmer. Continuing, the rev. gentleman said he could assure Mr. and Mrs. Insole that their kindness was appreciated. They were thankful for the beautiful brass lectern he had presented them some time ago (cheers). They were now contem- plating erecting a memorial screen to commemorate the late Mr. Insole, and they hoped to have it done shortly. Councillor Thos. Griffiths, M.E., J.P., was also thanked for his support in the church's welfare. Mr. E. S. Williams came in for his share of the encomiums, as did Mrs. Williams, who, as president of the Ladies' Committee, had worked assiduously to make the bazaar a con- spicuous success. Enthusiastic cheers greeted the vicar's announcement that, as a result of some correspondence with Lady Aubrey- Fletcher, Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher had sent them a cheque for £ 250. Mr. Insole, addressing them on behalf of his wife, said that nothing gave him and his family greater pleasure than to assist the Church—especially at Porth. Whilst endeavouring; to ascertain why Mrs. Insole had been asked to perform the opening ceremony, he had suddenly remembered that the connection between his family and the district was a lengthy one (cheers). Producing a silver cigar- case, Mr. Insole said, he had come across it recently among his father's relics. It bore an inscription to the effect that it had been presented to his father by the owners of house property at Porth and Cymmer in June, 1850, as a, token of appreciation for baviitg-dui-iiig a period of heavy depression—kept the Cymmer Collieries working. He was pleased to learn of the excellent work done by Mr. Griffiths. Mr1. Insole aliso trefjerrejd to Sir Henry Fletcher's hallclsomedollation, and hoped the remainder would also be forthcoming, and that the bazaar would be a success (cheers). Mrs. Insole thereupon expressed her great pleasure of declaring the bazaar open. Mr. E. S. Williams, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Insole, said they were living in a Valley that was going to provide an interesting history, and in that history the Insole family would figure very prominently in its industrial development.' and also in its connection with the Church. Mr. D. M. Jones seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried unanimously.

Cymanfa at Tonypandy.
Cymanfa at Tonypandy. The best singing festival held in the Mid-Rhondda district for many yeans past was that on Monday last at Eben- ezer, under the auspices' of the Welsh Congregationalists worshipping: at Salem (Llwynypia), Tabernacle (Trealaw), Beth- ania (Dinas), and Ebenezer. Mr. Caradoc Roberts, Mus. Bac. F.R.C.O., was the conductor, and the mantle of the immortal Eos Mor'lais has undoubtedly fallen upon his shoulders. Without ostentation of any kind, he led the singing throughout the day to everyone's satisfaction. The children's meeting in the morning: will not be forgotten by those who were fortu- nate enough to gain admission, while the adults rose to the occasion, as they have done for many years. The following successors at the Tonic Sol-fa College Examinations were reported by the examiner, Mr. D. R. Rses:-— Junior: 01 wen Evans, Gwladys May Evans, Bronwen Williams, Katie Wil- liams, Ivor. Davies, Herber Williams, Morfydd Jones, Elizabeth Thomas, 01 wen Watkins, Megan Watkins, and Tom Lyons. Elementary: Olwen Watkins, Megan Watkins, Annie Flook, Maggie Davies, Rachel Evans, Nana.

Mr. Sam Ho wells was awarded the prize fetr the best three verses with, chorus for children, the Rev. T. G. Jenkyn adjudicating. The presidents wera Mr Tom John, M.A., Mr T. Ay ton Jones, and Mr. Morgan Rees. Miss Elizabeth Evans catechised the children on Total Abstinence." Mr. W. T. David presided at the organ.
Pageant Points.
Pageant Points. [By OWEN RHOSCOMYL.] Lady Bute on Monday morning. Foot- ball Kings on Monday night. Now we're all right." So cried one enthusiastic committeeman to another on Tuesday morning, clapping him on the back and— no, not asking him to take a small spot o' wine with him. Our committeemen seem too far above all such human weak- nesses as that. Or is it that the spirit of the Pageant has lifted their souls to such heights, tha.t the clouds hide all such mundane things as. small spots o' wine." And perhaps it's as well, or else their wine bills might make the Chancellor of the Exchequer too hilarious. For every day some new encouragements. The foot- ballers rally round W. T. Morgan. And straightway then the schoolmasters and mistresses and teachers come crowding up to 1. Vaughan Evans, and tell him it's about time he secured 'em their share of it. Moreover, as the footballers have secured Episode 4, Ivor Bach, so the schoolfolk have secured Interlude 4. That interlude includes Llywelyn the Great and Llywelvn the Haunted, as well as the proclamation of Owen Glyndwr. More yet, it includes the immortal band, Dafydd ap Gwilym, who will be accompanied by the bevy of wondrous fair ones he made for ever famous. Think of that one of the mid- night eyes, of the one of the dawn-like face, of Gwen of the dream-slender form, of the star-hued nun, and—yes, try to imagine bright Morfydd, of the hair so glorious that. Dafvdd must write ode after ode to it, and still not satisfy himself that he had fully struck its beauty into the visions of the world. And-wait a breath or t-wo-tbe: other captains of Episodes and Interludes are. sorting out their volunteers. You shall hear of them as they come in with their totals. Only two Interludes have not yet been appropriated. Interlude 2, with its Saints and Pagans, its priests and princes, prin- cesses and saintesses, Kings and Bishops- that's still open to some energetic man with a following. And Interlude 3—look at the book and see the glittering com- pany gathered in its five scenes—that's still open for a good captain. Still more, although, the Chairman of the Performers' Committee has been laid up with the illness we all so much regret, yet' we've secured the services of Mr. Wilmott as vice-chairman, which means that we shall still keep full steam ahead. So we prosper—and thank the gods for it..
Watching the Watches.
Watching the Watches. This week, quite a crowd of people are to be seen in front of H. Samuel's watch and- jewellery establishment, 7, St. Mary Street, Cardiff, intensely scrutinising three veteran 25s. Acme Silver Lever Watches shown in the window. An interesting and wonderful story of long wear attaches to each watch, and this story is given beside the watch in the actual handwriting of the owner. Con- crete evidence as striking as this, we do not appear to have heard of before. The watches are still in the windows, and our readers visiting Cardiff should see them,

The late Mrs. Williams, { Cavendish House, Penygraig. We deeply regret to record the death of Mrs. J. Williams, Cavendish House, Penygraig, which took place on Monday, 3rd inst. Her mortal remains were con- veyed from Penygraig to Pentretygwyn, Llandovery, where the interment took place. The Rev. LI. S. Davies, Williams- r town, officiated. The late Mrs. WILLIAMS. Deceased and family came to Penygraig from Trallwm, Brecon, some ten years ago. She was not long in the district before making for herself a host of friends, who admired her the greater the more they came to know her. Her quiet, genial and unassuming manner drew everyone to love her. She was a faithful member at Pisgah (C.M.) Chapel, and there was not a more faithful member at the week- night meetings than Mrs. Williams. Her presence will be greatly missed by the church. She had a long and painful ill- ness, but she bore it quietly and resignedly. Much sympathy is felt for the sons and daughter in their sad bereavement.
A Churchyard Cough.
A Churchyard Cough. 30 Years' Bronchial Asthma, Cured by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mr. J. Churchill, of Dowlish Wake, Ilminster, Somerset, says :—" Nearly 30 years ago I contracted inflammation of the lungs, which left me with severe bronchial asthma, my cough being so bad that people said if ever they heard a churchyard cough,' I had it. Three doctors said I would never get better, but at last I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, and soon found I was on the right track at last, and now thanks to your extraordinary remedy my asthma is entirely gone, and I am at work as hard as ever." :0 Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is the purest and most reliable remedy extant for coughs, colds, and all chest and lung troubles.
