Haul of Cold. Alleged Thefts by Domestic Extraorbdinary Poiice Court Story. At Ystrad Police Court on Monday, before the Stipendiary (Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas) and 'other magistrates, Lizzie John, a respectably-dressed young woman, living with her parents at 65, Dinas Road, Dinas, was indicted on a charge of stealing £ 700, the money of David .Jones, licensee of the Carpenters' Arms, Ynyshir, and others. Mr. D. w. Jones, Pentre, prosecuted, and Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas;, and Pentre, prosecuted, and Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas;, and James) defended. Police Inspector Tints. Tty.illinrns; Porth, It said that at 9 a.m. {)1) fentiiMay,' Decem- ber 3rd, lie, in company wif-K. two other police constables, went to Go, Dinas Road, armed with a search warrant. He searched the house in prisoner's pre- sence, and, accompanied bv the prisoner, 11 tl went upstairs. In the middle room lie found a tin box, which prisoner un- locked, and inside he found ft receipt No. 886,528 (produced) for the sum of £ 170, which prisoner had deposited in the London and Provincial Bank at Peny- graig. In a cash-box lie found a Post Office Savings Bank book, No. 8,17'7, issued at Tonypandy on 25th May last, showing a deposit of £ 50. In this book prisoner gave her address as 59, Dinas Road. In another room upstairs witness found another tin box, which was locked. Upon being opened, witness found a brown leather bag, and inside this a canvas bag containing 381 sovereigns. (At this stage of the hearing prisoner uttered a shrill scream and fainted. Her brother and the two lady missiojiers attached to the Court immediately went to her assist- ance, and she was given a glass of water. Turning to the prosecutor, prisoner's bro- ther shouted, This is your work "). Resuming his evidence, Inspector Wil- liams said that he further searched for clothing and for some new articles. He then told prisoner that he was going to arrest her for stealing money, and gave her th^tisual caution. In reply, prisoner said, You got all the money, and this (the clothing) I bought with the others." Witness then proceeded to enumerate the articles lie had recovered. These were:—Two tea, sets (china), 1 coffee set (electro-plated), 1 bottle scent, 5 orna- ments, 1 pair glass jingles, 2 coloured blankets, flannel in. pieces, and 1 lady's hat. The above articles were found in a large cradle, excepting the blankets, which were on a bed. The following articles were found in large boxes-One morning gown, 2 baselake quilts, 2 blankets, 1 white shawl, 6 white tablecloths, 1 pair boots (lady's), 2 sateen quilts, 3 handkerchiefs, 3 night- dresses, 8 flannel petticoats, 3 drawers, 3 bottles of brandy, 1 bottle malt wine, 1 Spanish port, 1 cash-box, 1 gold brooch, 1 clock. Total value of the goods re- covered, £ 31. Prisoner was taken to the Porth Police Station in a ca,b, and was charged with stealing £ 700 from a safe in a bedroom in the Carpenters' Arms, Ynyshir, some time between May .and 1st December last, the property of David Jones and others. She replied. "It is true I took them. I did not take them all at the same time; I took them a! bit at a time. I took C200, and in a few days later I put £ 170 in the bank at Penygraig. They wouldn't take more than £ 50 at the Post Office, which I put in at Tonypandy. The P-381 that you found in the box I took since, and the other money I spent on the clothes you recovered at the house to-day. I am now very sorry that I took the money. I am willing to take the money out and hand it to you any time. It was an old key of the safe I used. I haven't got it now; I threw it into the river by Porth bridge on Thursday night last." Inspector Williams added, in reply to Mr. D. W. Jones, that he had found an- other Post Office Savings Bank book recording a deposit of 10s. in prisoner's name, and from inquiries made he was satisfied that that money belonged to prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. James, witness said that he was informed that prisoner had been in service at the Carpenters' Arms for five years, and had slept in the same room as prosecutor's mother up to the time of the latter's death. Prisoner also informed him, added witness, that she was in a certain condition, and wit- ness wrote on a slip of paper the name of the person who, prisoner declared, was responsible for her condition. This was all the evidence, and Mr. Jones asked for a remand until Thurs- day at Porth as the police had a lot of inquiries to make, as some of the money had not been accounted for. Remand was granted, and on Mr. James' application bail was allowed, pri- soner in her own recognizances for -ploo, and three other sureties of £33 6s. 8d. each.

The City of Sky Scrapers. Impressions of New York. [By Mr. GODFREY PRICE, Tylorstown.] New York is so very well known to all newspaper and magazine readers, that nothing I can say will hold the claim of being absolutely new. But- as I feaid in my last letter, the sights must be seen to be appreciated, and Now York cer- tainly has the distinction of being excep- tional in many of its features. A visitor to this great cosmopolitan centre wiii notice the difference in its streets, its people, and its buildings to those of any English or Welsh city. No doubt, it bears the impressions of all the great European cities in its archi- tecture. and its business methods, for all European countries have contributed to make New York what it is to-day, but there is something distinctly Yankee about it. and everyone must admit that it deservedly gains the distinction of being OH of tht cities of the world. Its gigantic sky^ctapers must. be seen to be realised. the pictures of these fifty to sixty-storied buildings which I had often seen give only a faint and inadequate idea of what these monsters are really like. The precocious way in which the Yankee puts up these buildings in order to beat the latest effort to reach the moon," is wonderful. At a distance or two hundred yards you gape in astonish- ment at these triumphs of architectural o-enius—and you secretly feel relieved when you are out of danger if they toppled -over. One of the most notable of these high buildings is the Metropolitan Assurance Building. It is built on Maddison Square (made famous as the scene of the Harry Thaw tragedy). The main tower has over seventy floors, and is 735 feet high—the highest commercial building in the world. It ha6 thousands of rooms, which are rented in suites of offices to different commercial enterprises. During our first tour to America (over two years ago)" we had the pleasnre-- through the kindly influence of Mr. W. R. Hughes-of going through the greater part of this immense building. Standing on the parapet, which is just beneath the huge clock, we looked down on New York and its environs from that dizzy altitude, and though New York has the reputation of being: "wicked," it certainly looked beautiful on that sunny morning, lying between the Delaware on the north and the Hudson on the south, the wonderful buildings and the busy streets of this mighty Babylon looking like a perpetual panorama. I shall never forget the sensation as, on mv hands and knees, with my hands resting on the edge of the stone parapet, I looked into the streets below; and the scene appeared to me like a colony ^of ants on the Penrhys Mountain. The thing you would miss would be the uniformity of size and shape. The horses would resemble the ants, of course, but the human beings! Have you ever watched a pedestrian from above at a great distance? If you have, you will understand what the moralists mean when they say that a question changes according to what point of view you look at it." To come back to the subject in hand. The view from inside and outside this building is wonderful. While standing in the main hallway, the bustle and fSuss I can describe in no better way than by using the simile of the ant colony again, plus the feverish excitement. You could not help asking yourself, Where are all these thousands going to ? How do they earn their living? Where do they all live ? Those and similar questions tired the brain, and you gladly gave it up." The clock on the main tower is massive, and, like our own Big Ben, can be seen and heard at a great distance. There is this difference, however; you can hear Big Ben strike day and night, not so the Metropolitan clock. The New Yorker could not allow his sleep to be disturbed by this minster's boom during the night. So the clock strikes the time, not on a, clamorous bell, but by means of automatically arranged electric lights, which gives a red glow instead of the ordinary" clang." I watched this clock strike in this way on a certain night and it seemed to me that the red glow resembled an, indignant protest against such a restriction. However, the sight at striking time is very pretty, and attracts the attention of thousands nightly. I have unintentionally given more space to the description of this wonder- ful building than I had intended; how- ever, if it proves to be interesting, nothing is lost, and I would strongly advise anyone who visits New York to seek permission to get to the top and through this immense structure. The hotel we stayed at in New York was the New Mills Hotel. This hotel derives its name from the founder, an American philanthropist, who built it with the view of supplying clean sleeping apartments and good meals well within the reach of those who cannot afford the ordinary hotel rate, in New York; and although the living in this hotel is not luxurious, it is clean to sleep in, and the food served there is good and whole- some, and no doubt that many thou- sands of the great city's unfortunates have cause to be thankful for such a place to abide in. On the night that we arrived in New York, and, in fact, the whole of the time we stayed there, the number of guests at the New Mills amounted to nearly 2,000. In that crowd (all men) you could find all grades of people, from Bill Sykes to Robert Hardy, from Judas to bt. John. The rooms are not very spacious, they measure about 8 feet by 6 feet and the place is steam-heated all through. The manager of the New Mills Hotel is a Welshman named John Lloyd Thomas. He hails from some part of the Maesteg -Valley. This gentleman plays an impor- tant part in all the Welsh movements in America.. A genial Oymro, who did all he could to make us comfortable during our stay at New York. During the week we stayed in New York, we gave two concerts in the city and one at Ocean Grove, a seaside resort about 60 miles south of New York. The weather during these days was fright- fully hot. I have no hestitation in say- ing that it was the hottest time I have ever experienced. Weather that made you feel that any clothing was super- fluous. The hot sun beating down with- out mercy, and not a breath of air stir- ring. All creation seemed to be panting, and the newspapers continually reported deaths owing to the heat, and no wonder! We left Wales with heavy flannels befit- ting our summer, but we soon had to throw these off, or drop in the streets. Undoubtedly the hottest day of all was Labour Day (first Monday in September), which is a national holiday throughout the United States. On the evening of this day we gave a concert at Ocean Grove. We left New York at 1.30 and reached Ocean Grove at about 3.30 p.m. We we're very glad to see the briny, for it looked cool after the panting of New York. It was rather amusing to see the efforts of the Yankees to keep cool on that day. Only the flimsiest of clothing
