GOSPEL TENT MISSION.
GOSPEL TENT MISSION. ANNIVERSARY MEETINGS. ACCOUNT OF WORK DONE. Most successful and encouraging meetings were held in the Gospel Tent Mission, Merthyr- street, Barry Dock, on Monday Morning, after- noon, and evening last, the occasion being the anniversary of the Mission, which has progressed 10 far that it is one of the principal forces for good in the district. At the morning service Pastor Frank Leybourne, of the Forward Move- ment, Cardiff, presided over an attendance principally of women, and addresses were given by Messrs Rowland Smith and F. W. Mitchell, of Cardiff, on the Christian's life and work. In the afternoon, Pastor Leybourne again presided, and Mr Jam. Leach, of Lincoln, Mr B. Smith, and Sergeant Barker, of the Saltmead flection of the Forward Movement, spoke. In the evening the utmost limits of the Gospel Hall were occupied by an attendance of about 400 people, and there were present, beside the above-mentioned gentlemen, the Pastor (Mr Gerald R. Coultas), Mr Donald Maolean, solicitor, Cardiff, who occupied the chair, Mr E. W. Waite, the District Council's Water Engineer, aid the choir of the Barry Congregational Church, Mr F. Murrell, and Others. Among others, Mr J as. Leach spoke on the iuty of the soldier—the qualities of a good soldier, which he described as attention, obedience, and confidence. Mr Leach, having had some practical experience of the ways of soldiers, told many interesting reminiscences of his connection with the Hussars and North- umberland Fusiliers. Towards the close of the meeting Mr Gerald B. Coultas gave a report of the work done by the Mission during the past year. The year has been a busy one, both here and at Bryn- mawr, and the work done is under all prospects most encouraging. An average of ten meetings a week have been held at both placem, and dur- ing the year more than 36,000 tracts and book- let. have been distributed among the people, the effeet of which has been testified in the good results amongst the drunkards, especially iu the Barry district. The usual tea was held during the day, as many partaking as could conveniently be seated iu the hall, who were attended by the following ladies :-Mrs G. R. Coultas, Mrs Jenkins, Mrs Thomas, Mrs A. 9mith, Mrs Peacock, Mrs James, Miss Dumane, Miss Hutchms, Miss Taylor, &c.-The ReT J. Price, of St. Paul's, Barry, wrote stating that he was unable to attend.

BENEFIT EISTEDDFOD AT BARRY DOCK.. On Saturday evening last an eisteddfod was held in the Tabernacle Welsh Congregational Chapel, Holton-road, the proceeds of which were devoted to a fund for aidill Mr J. il- liams, George-street, Barry Dock, who for the past two years has been incapacitated through illness. The pastor of the church (Kev U. Evans) was president, and Mr D. Farr (Barry Glee Society), and the Rev W. Tibbott (Cadox- ton), acted as judges of the music and literary competitions respectively. Miss Thomas, B.A.M., Kingsland-crescent, Barry Dock, was the accompanist. -After the presidential ad- dress, Mr R. Havard gave a sexaphone solo, in place of the eisteddfod song. A juvenile reci- tation was the first competition, and this was won by Master J. Walters (three competitors, prize 2s). Only one entered for the soprano solo, "Megys y blodeuyn," namely, Mrs S. Williams, who was awarded the prize, 5s, and in the duett competition half the prize was given to Mrs T. Williams also. Miss C. Morgan won the 1st prize for a prize bag (2s 6d), and Miss E. Bassett took the second (Is 6d). For the best rendering of the congregational tune, "Commonwealth,Mr R. Havard's party won the prize (15s). There were five competitors for a prize of 5s for the best recitation of "An farwol gariad cryf Fab Duw," and Mr D. Richards was successful. The tenor solo, "Llwybr y Wyddfa," was rendered by four contestants, Mr J. Richards securing the prize (5s). Nine children sang Sankey's solo, "Will you meet me at the fountain ?" and Miss Esther Rees, Oban-street, was awarded the prize of 2s 6d. Mr Ivor Jenkins' party gave the best rendering of the quartette, "I am a blossom, and I fade"; prize, 8s. Mr Jenkins also competed in the baritone solo, "Return unto thy rest," which was divided between him and Mr G. Griffith; prize, 5s. The last item on the programme was the male voice competition, Comrades' song of hope (prize ;E I Is), an 1 this was competed for by two parties calling themselves the Redvers Buller party and the Piet Joubert party. The prize was awarded the former. It should be mentioned that the prize bags were presented by Mrs Williams, Kiug- land-erescent. The result of the eisteddfod financially was successful, about S8 being handed over to Mrs Williams.

BARRY CARPENTERS AND JOINERS.
BARRY CARPENTERS AND JOINERS. ANNUAL DINNER OF THE ASSOCIATED SOCIETY. PROGRESS OF THE TRADE'S UNIONS. On Monday evening last the local branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners held its annual dinner at the Bassett Arms Hotel, Holton-road, Barry Dock, Dr. Neale, J.P., the medical adviser to the brauch, presiding. The chairman was supported bv Councillor W. Paterson, Mr F. S. T. Brooks. Mr D. Richards, Southport (a member of the Executive Council of the General Union), IVIr C. Halford (secretary to the General Unioi ), Mr W. Jeremiah, Mr C. Davies, &c. An ex- ceedingly appetising dinner was partaken of 1 y about 60 members, among whom were mall) members of the General Union, after Which the Chairman briefly proposed the loyal and patriotic toasts. Referring to the Army and Navy, Dr. Neale said their achievements were beyond all praise, and the manner in which they had so far behaved themselves was glorious. (Cheers.) Amidst tremendous daggers and difficulties they bad made a magnificent front. He was sure all would join him in wishing success to their soldiers and sailors in the Transvaal, and the occupancy of Pietoria before Christmas. (Loud applause.) It being the expressed wish that there be more music than speech-making during the evening, Mr W. OoodfelJow here gave a song. The next toast was that of the "Amalga- mated Society of Carpenters and Joiners," proposed by the Chairman (Councillor Paterson now occupied the chair, Dr. Nenle having another engagement), and responded to by Mr J. Ley, the secretary to the local branch of the society, who gave figures relating to the growth of the society itself, which he said was started in 1860, u,id was, coinpnritively, a young one, though well worthy of the coi fi ,ence placed in it by the trade. The membership of the society at the end of last year was 56,634. and during the past nine months they bad increased by 4,528 members, making a total of 61,162, dis tributed among 769 branches. The financial state of the society was also very satisfactory. Their receipts amounted to S142,766, being an p 15 increase of E5,528 over the previous year. The total expenditure had been S106,362. They had then been enabled to add the sum of S36,404 to their balance in hand, which brought the total balance"in hand up to the very satisfactory amount of £ 172,712. (Hear, hear.) The society had paid out in unemployed aged benefit, £ 13,462; total benefit, S2,502 sick benefit, £ 29,97S; general benefit, £ 5 788; accident benefit, £ 4,500 superanuaMon or old age pensions, £ 14,663—(applause)—trade privi- leges, £ 4,963; benevolent grants. £ 2,346; grants to their own and other trades, £ 5.482. Briefly summarised, this latter item meant the atcendidg to the wants of their members, who, thiough accident, would be paid £100 or £50. Or should they require to move to a place where more work coul,i be obtained, their expenses would be paid them and, finally, when d.atb overt >ok th-m, aiiecent sum would be provided for their burial. He thought the society was d. ing a good Christian work. (Cheert). Re- fering to the progress of the local branch, Mr Ley said that was the 11th anniversary of the establishing ef the local branch, the member- ship of which was now 1,219, an increase on the previous year of 16. The income of the branch was S225, and expenditure, X108. Five members had been paid out of the branch, which represented X19 8s. 4d., and the claims paid to sick members amcunted a sum of S44 16s. The fact that only E2 15s. had been paid to out of work members, he thought, was evidence sufficient that there was plenty of work in the district. (Applause.) Mr Ley concluded by expressing pleasure that the re- lations between the different societies of the trade were on such amicable terms. MrD. Kichards, Southport, also responded for the General Union, a number of whose members were then present, and dealt with its progress during the last 70 years, from the date of its formation. He described it as one of the first Trades Unions iu the country, which bad during its career, the early part of which was beset with many difficulties, fought its way to its present position. Mr Richards hoped that those who were members of the Unions would do their best, as members, to further each others interests. He believed that they had a dispute in the Barry district, and sincerely hoped that it would soon be settled. He was a great believer in diplomacy in all matter, and thought more could be got by that means than could possibly be won by fighting, (Hear, hear.) Z5 Mr Richards next gave The Town and Trade of Barry," and said he dist nctly r, membered the great battle tha' was fought in the House of Commons over the Bill for the promotion of the railway and docks. It WHS with great pleasure, too. that he remembered having come into contact with the founder of Barry, the late Mr David Davif s, M. i (Ap- plause.) The Chairman, in responding, re-called Barry of a former day, and conir,ste i it with thf present, when there were so many evidences of its prosperity and future greatness. He said that nearly 30 miles of sewerage bad been laid in the space of about eight years. Their gas and water had been municipalised, and would in future be a source of great profit to the town. He did not think the working men of most towns fully realised the value and necessity of municipalising everything they could possibly get their hands on. (Hear, bear.) In Glasgow, his native city, nearly everything was owued by the citizens, and he truRte<i that the townspeople ot Barry would not be slow in taking over the tramways, when in course of time, those came to be built. (Applause.) Councillor Paterson also spoke of the trade of Barry, and Mr W. Jeremiah, as one of the oldest residents in the district, supported the toast. A rittle bit of music having been indulged in, Mr C. Davies proposed, and Mr F. S. T. Brook responded to the toast of "The Visitors." The Chairman," "The Press," and "The Host and Hostess having been honoured, the company dispersed about midnight, after having spent a most pleasant evening. The following, during th, evening, contri buted songs and recitationsMessrs A. H. Bletso, F. S. r. Brooks, G. Blake, J. Nicholls, W. and J. Goodfeliow, R. Williams, Bulger, D. Davies, and Beddows.

FREE GARDENERY AT BARRY. --
FREE GARDENERY AT BARRY. DINNER OF THE "WHITE HEATHER" LODGE. The White Heather" Lodge of Free Gar- deners, opened only six months ago at the Castle Hotel, Barry Dock, has made very rapid strides, and is one of the most flourishing in the district, taking its age into account. To celebrate the arrival of the period when the majority of the members came into full benefit a banquet was held on Saturday evening at the Castle Hotel, presided over by Mr W. Graham, of the Tyne Engineering Works. There was a large attendance, and the spacious room was well filled, the proceedings being very enthu- siastic and enjoyable. Mr and Mrs Farmer, the genial host and hostess, had prepared a sumptuous meal, to which ample justice wa- done. The chairoian was supported at the cros, table by Mr J H. Gardner, Gilfach Goch, District Secretary and P.G.M. of the Order; Mr J. A. Blackmore, W.M. Mr E. M. Dlivips, P.W.M. Mr G. orge Varian, D.M. and Mi Sandison. Letters of apolrgy for inability to attend were real from Councillor A. T. White and Mr A. Seaton, the latter enclosing one guinea towards the banner fund of the Lodg. Subsequently the evening was spent in a pleasant manner in honouring several appro- priate toasts, and also going through a pro- gramme of musical and elocutionary selections. The Chairman gave the toast of The Queen and Royal Family" in an appropriate manner, and it was drunk, accompanied by the hearty singing of the National Anthem. The toast of "Our Fighting Forces" was given by Mr W. M. Davies, of the South Wales Daily Neiva, who recited an appropriate poem, called "Sergeant, call the Roll," by Mr Smedley Norton. Mr Macdonald, one of the Sub-marine Miners, responded in choice terms. Mr E. M. Davies proposed the toast of The British Order of Ancient Gardenerp," and after expressing pleasure at the rapid progress made by the local lodge hoped that those who had not yet joined any friendly society weuld do so as eariy as possible, and thus provide for sickness and death. Mr J. H. Gardner, in response, said that when he bad the pleasure of opening the Lodge, six months ago, he never anticipated that they would have been so successful, or that they would have been able to enjoy such a splandiri festival as that held that evening. Personally, he felt in the same position, when requested to respond to the toast, as did a young man who, in the course of the marriage ceremony, was asked if he would have that woman to be his beloved wife and replied Well, that's what I'm here for." (Laughter.) As for their Society, it varied from others in that it paid funeral benefit for children up to the age of 16 years, without giving enough to encourage any attempt at trafficking in human lives. A very flourishing institution in Scotland, the North of England and Ireland, the Order had only established itself in Wales five years ago, where to-day they had 25 Lodges, while others would shortly be opened in Cardiff and neighbour- hood. It was practically new as far as Barry Dock was concerned, and while they bad suffered through the great coal strike, be hoped the Order would flourish here by reason of the present boom in the coal trade. He appealed to everyone not already connected with a friendly society to join one, in order to be prepared for a time of sickness and misfortune, and remain independent of cold-handed charity or parochial reli- f. He was sceptical enough himself, also, to believe that in any scheme of old age pensions, friendly societies would play an active part in the distribution of any reliet afforded by the State; therefore, it behoved everyone to become a member of some society. All the sound societies were founded on a good commercial basis, and gave as liberally as the subscriptions of members would permit; and be believed it would be the duty of the Govern- ment, in the face of what was recently takiny place, to prevent any society existing that did not take from its members sufficient to keep up the benefits, (Cheers.) The Chairman gave the toast of "The White Heather Lodgn." At the outset he remarked upon the strange customs in connection with toasts. It was always the land lubber who was asked to propose "The Navy," the sailor to propose "The Army." a layman to propo-e "The Ministers of Religion," a bachelor to propose The Ladies "—on the principle that be knew least about them. (Laughter.) Carry- ing that same principle further, he had been asUed as an outsider to propose that toast. okii g up history, he saw that it was in the latter part of the 17th centuiy that friendly soiieti* bf gan to tai<e form. It was in the y.,tr 1793 thet friendly societies tirst received iecognition from Parliament. f-ince then several Acts had been passed, and to-day Parliament took quite a fatherly and friendly interest in these societies. Those of them who went to church or chapel had heard the preacher say that the cardinal sin of this age is self-indifference. What they had to battle with was the carelessness and indifference of people to their own social welfare. (Hear, hear.) There was not a man in the country but who bad a perfect horror of the workhouse. Yet they must feel proud, after all, that there were such institutions at which these who could not take care of themselves were cared for. They could not resist the conclusion, however, that there was something wrong—very much wrong. Looking at the leaflet setting forth the advan- tages the Fi-ee Gardeners Society off,-red, he confessed to being very much surprised at the table of benefits offered for such a small sub- scription. While he was glad to see the Barry lodge making such good progress, he was also surl,rised that, with such a scale of benefits, there were not a good many more members. They might look forward to the time of old age pensions; but was it not more manly, more dignified, and more in accordance with the traditions of the Britisher to depend on himself and make provision for old age and for sickness, than to depend on the Government ? He believed it was. It was all very well when they were prosperous, when the sun was shining*; they thought this kind of thing was going on for ever. Was it not Pope who told them that "into each life some rain must fall ? and what could they have better than an association of this kind, that provided for the rainy day, which would inevitat ly come ? (Cheers.) Mr J. A. Blackmore, the Worthy Master of the lodge, in responding to the toast, dwel upon the position it bad already attained, and declared that he considered friendly societies the most glorious of Hritish institutions; and were it not for these there would be at the present time a very much higher percentage of poverty and pauperism. (Hear, hear.) Other toasts included "Kindred Societies," proposed by Mr Blackmore and responded to by Mr Giles; The Chairman," submitted by Mr J. H. Gardner, and The Hoat and Hosress." A musical programme of a varied, interest- ing. and enjoyable character was gone through, among those who contributed being MisóJ Clarissa Hobbs, whose two songs (including the well-known "Dolly solo) created a furore of delight; Miss Wilts, Bariy Island, o played a pianoforte solo; Messrs Joe Williams, the celebrated "extravaganzaist"; Stephenson, Percy Wilts, Macdonald, Sandison, DiiiSBelrj (who recited incidents of the Jameson raid), Tom Plice, &c., &c.

BARRY DEBATING SOCIETY.
BARRY DEBATING SOCIETY. THE REV. CHRISTMAS LEWIS ON "PUNISHMENT." The usual weekly meeting of the above Society was held on Monday evening at the Barry Cafe. Mr J. O. Davies presided. There was some mis-apprehension as to the subject of the paper; some thought it would deal with capital punishment, but the rev. gentleman, in a very able paper on "Punishment," said people often do things not knowing why they do them. In some cases the question is not isked; the act is done at the blind bidding of impulse. Sometimes, on the other hand, the question is asked and eagerly discussed, with- out, however, arriving at a decision that commands general acceptance, while all the time the process action is continued, there being no thought of ceasing to act until the purpose or end in view has been clearly defined. This has been the fact with Punishment. There never has been a time when crime was not punished yet, even down to the present day, it is hotly disputed as to what the object of punishment is. While all the nations of the earth agree in affirming the absolute necessity of punishment, there is the widest disagree- ment as to why it is necessary. An old Roman writer said punishment must be inflicted not because sin has been committed, but lest it should be committed; and the same view was expressed by an English judge when addressing a sheep-stealer, he said You are not punished for stealing sheep, but in order that sheep may not be stolen." This is the deterrant theory of punishment; the criminal is punished In the interest of the state. Closely con- nected with the deterrant is the pre- ventive theory of punishment both view pun- ishment as finding its justification in the future rather than the past in the necessary protection of the community, rather than the guilt of the criminal. There is, however, a little difference between them while one theory views punish- ment as intended to frighten spectators from following the example of the criminal, the other intended mainly to prevent the criminal himself from repeating his offence. Held often in conjunction with these two theories, though not necessarily connected, we find a third, viz: the educative or reformatory theory of punish- ment. According to this, the object is not the protection of society, but the reformation of the criminal. Punishment, in fact, has the same mission in the world as religion, and aims at conversion. One writer on the subject says:- If in our prisons a liberal diet, genial society, free communication with the outside world, artistic cells, abundant leisure, and varied amusements were found in practice to be more deterrant and reformatory than our present system of narrow cell, plank bed, skilly, &c., then we should not hesitate to abandon our present system and adopt those. If, in a word, it were found that by putting criminals in palaces and treating them as lords, we were doing more to educate and reform them than by our present method, then the present method should be abandoned at once, and all criminal" should be viewed as guilty and treated to all that is best in the land. Proceeding, the rev gentleman referred to the retributive theory, which maintains that the object of punishment is to satisfy justice. Exponents of this view were quoted, but the best thab can be said for them is that they have been used to emphasise the view that punishment is not preventative, or deterrant, or reformatory. The satisfying of justice does not mean the satisfying of a feeling of revenge or vindictiveness. What justice demands is that right and wrong shall be treated differently and that the distance be preserved. It demands punishment in self- defence its very existence depends upon it. Do away with all punishment, treat good and bad in the same way, then you have done away with justice, and the moral order of the universe becomes obliterated. In conclusion he said punishment, in order to be educative or deter- rant, must be just, and when based on justice may be, and generally is, deterrant, preventive, and educative. There was a keen discussion, in which a large number took part. A very hearty and appreciative vote of thanks to Mr Lewis terminated the meeting. Next week Dr, Percy Smith will read a papei on "Ghosts Are there any ?
WELSHMEN AND EDUCATION.
WELSHMEN AND EDUCATION. AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW. Like an astute Yorkshireman possessing a desire to become acquainted with difficulties of the monoglot Welshman, Mr A. G. Legard has grasped the educational situation in Wales very clearly, and in the course of his annual report on the Welsh division, he makes the following glowing panegyric:—"No system can really flourish unless it is supported by national senti- ment and unless it has won the affections of the people. In the case of Wales it is clear, I think, that education has got a real hold of the popular sympathies, just as it has in the northern part of Great Britain. This is shown in many ways, and not least by the generous contributions that have been made by a very large number of people in a poor country towards the building of the county schools and the university col- leges. 'ihe self-denying efforts of parents, also, in many parts of Walei to enable their children to enjoy the benefits of a good education deserve warm recognition, and it is a significant fact that at one of the Welsh colleges when an inquiry was made it was found that more than one-third of the students had been sons and daughters of artisans, or of the labouring classes."
ROUGH CUSTOMERS.
ROUGH CUSTOMERS. GET THEIR DESERTS. George Andersen, a Norwegian seaman, was charged at the Barry Dock Police-court on Friday ith being drunk and disorderly and assaulting the police at the shipping offices, Barry Dock, on Thursday in last week. Dock-constable Light said that defendant had to be ejected from the offices because of his drunken behaviour. In performing this operation, Constable Light was struck, hutted in the stomach, and otherwise maltreated.-D"ck. constable Weeks, who corroborated, also received a share of defendant's blows, which were freely dis- tributed, and admitting this, the magistrates sent Andersen to goal for 14 days' with hard labour. Another case was not so bad. Thomas Seymour is a sailor, and being drunk on Thursday night he had to be ejected from tho Station Hotel, Cagan.- In answer to the Bench, Police-coustable 302 said th" t it was very nearly el- ven o'clock when the def^n'iant was ejected.—Coluuel Thornley I think the proprietor of the hotel ought to be proceeded against. This man was turned out of the hotel at clo ing time. Defendant was fined 108, with an alternative of seven days.

BARKY DOCK POLICE j.:''':-f…
BARKY DOCK POLICE j. f FRIDAY. Before Colonel GUTHRIE and Mr J. DDNCAS EXTENSIONS GRANTED. Thomas Hopkins, Bassett Arms Hotel, applied for a two hours' extension on the following Mon- day, the 27th ult, but the magistrates refused to grant more than one hour's extension.—The land- lord of the Star Inn, Dinas Powis, was also granted one hour-from 10 to 11. EXEMPTION ORDER. William Harry Miles applied for an order re- lieving him from th, necessity of having his child vaccinated. Having a conscientious objection, his application was granted, although the magistrates remarked that he was running a fearful risk. BEYOND CONTROL. A man named Webb applied to the magistrates for an order to send his boy, David, to an indus- trial school. His son was 11 years old, and he was wholly unmanageable.—Colonel Thornley Do you mean to say you cannot manage a boy 11 years of age ? Absurd !—Ihe father said the boy stole his watch and chain and 2s in money.—Colonel Thornley We cannot send the child to an indus- trial school on your statement.- Applicant then left the court. THE ERRANT SCHOOL Bny. The attendance officer of the Barry School Board (Mr A. Seig) appeared to prosecute a number of parents whose children had not attended school with that regularity required by the law. Fines of half-a-crown were inflicted upon George Cliff, Julia Anick, William Bristol, and Jessie fielding, and 5s on Sid. Parfitt and J1 Wall. Orders to attend school were made on Herbert Pearce, Sid. Parfi't, John Davies, George Davies and the boy of William Griffiths was sent to an industrial school until he had reached the age of 14 years. A NUISANCE AND A DANGER. Henry Herbert, whose pouy strayed on the highway at Barry on the 14th ult., was fined 2s 6d. —Five cows belonging to Elizabeth Williams, Llantrithyd, were discovered out of bounds, and the owner was mulcted in 5s.—Ten pigs, by their grunts of satisfaction, arrested the notice of the vigilant policeman who taw them on the highway at Penmark on the 12th November, and E. Lougher, who claimed them, was now fined 10s.— Athough E. B. Lewis' pigs did the same thing at Llancarfan on the 14th November, the case was dismissed.—John Lennox was fined the first-offence penalty of Is for driving without sufficient light on the highway last Wednesday fortnight, and for the same offence Harry Mitchell was mulcted in 2s 6d. IT WILL SOON BE WITHDRAWN. The report has gone abroad that the Agricultural Department are anxious to withdraw the obnoxious muzz ing order from effect in South Wales. Per- haps having rapidly read this piece of news many people neglect to keep a strict watch over the vagaries of the family dog, which invariably slips out of the family residence just as a policeman, once a friend of the family, is passing. However correct the foregoing may be, the following were fined the minimum penalty of bs for carelessness in the matter :—David Watts, Thomas Griffiths, Thomas Lewis, Htnry F. Macintosh, John Morgan, John Seel, William Pushen, F. S. T. Drookes, Wm H. J. Corrie, Charles Pudsley, Mrs Rees, Sam Randall, Mary Walsh the remaining 71 6d John Sparkes, Edward Hughes, and John Roberts. GRAVE CASES. A blooming little girl named Jenny Warstow, who was accompanied by her mother, gaily ad- mitted that she fired squibs and throw other fireworks about the publie streets. She was fined ls.Mrs Joseph Beasley paid Is 6d for the privi- lege of having a fire in a chimney. THE LOWER ORDERS. John Pridham was fined 2s 6d for committing a nuisance near the Victoria Hotel last Saturday night week.—Laura Bernard submitted to the usual charge of being drunk and disorderly, and ttpon promising to take the pledge and keeping it, which, of course, can be done by signing a piece of paper, she was dismissed.—The following were fined 5s :—Kate Morgan, Samuel Blake, and John Pr..bert. A fine of 2s 6d was paid by Wm Smith, George WiliOD, and Annie Cliffe. Ellen Budge, Hugh Caineron, Dominvica Spezzia, Mrs Evans, — Robinson, Henry Littlefit Id, E. J. Garrick, Wm Locking, aLd G Cook were fined 7s 6d. THE STRANGER. C. B. Biondelli, a Geonese ornament pedlar, who had evidently been f. jghtpned by the ferocious aspect of the policeman who had asktd him for his license, was now told to go, upon his showing that he was legally entitled to sell from door to door. MONDAY. Before Colonel GUTHRIE and Colonel THORNLEY. COMMITTAL OF RATE DEFAULTERS. On the application of Mr W. C. Howe, the magistrates made orders for the committal of Fredeiick George Way, Barry-road George f Chem« tc, Cautleland-stioet and Fred Cfn"ock, Cai'oxton, to prison for sevea days eaeh in default of payment of the rates. I IRREGULAR ATTENDANCE. Mr A. Seig, the attendance officer of the School Board, occupied the witness' stand for a consider* able time in giving evidence against parents of children who attended school very irregularly. In the case of Charles Pearson, the father was made to pay a crown for repeated disobedience of an order to send his child to school. The father was stated to be a coal trimmer at the docks. Ben- jamin Hamilton and James Coombes were also fined 2s 6d for disobeying a previous order of the magistrates, and William Powell, whose son was asked to be sent to the Truant School at Dinas Powis. This was not done, however, the Bench causing the parent to pay 5s. The mother pleaded poor circumstauces, and said that her husband (a boilermaker) had been out of work since July.— Colonel Guthrie Boilermakers make good wages. Mrs Powell But he has been very unfortunate.— Sidney Roberts paid 5s for his second disobedience of an order, and was enjoined to send another child regularly, otherwise there would be a lepeti- tion of the punishment in the other case,-Charles G,& il5 in, from Cadoxton, was summoned, but Mrs Gwilym appeared, and by her vollubility of speech tried to occupy a gn at deal of the time of the court in telling the Bench how her daughter, at seven years of age, had grown out of some mys- terious ailment, and now that she had readied that period of life she should go to school regularly in future.—Mr Stig She won't go to Bchool.—Mrs Gwilym Oh she's a splendid girl to go to satiool, she is.—Other orders made were against Thomas Richard Jenkins, Samuel Draper, and Thomas Cribb. A DOOR-STEP DUEL. Elizabeth Garton, the wife of a labourer liviag at Cadoxton, summoned William Barbett for threats. Mrs Garton's story, told by herself, was as follows I was stood tn my door-step when Wm Barbett passed by atJd said something to me, and then he said I will b-- well bust you ?' He didn't do anything to me, but he tiied to strike me three times."—The Clerk: How didn't he succeed in striking you ?-Complainant Because I slipped away.—Defendant: Did I hit at yer?- Complainant: Yes, three times.—Didn't yer spit at me face ? No, never, Mr Barbett nevet, never. Then Mrs Marsh was called to give evidence for complainant. She put the position in a nutshell: I saw him threaten her, swear at her, and tell her that if she came out to the lamp-post he would knock a hole in her face." Then she gave a demonstration of the place she was standing on her own door-step, and with a show of heroism added that defendant exclaimed that anyone who takes her part I will serve them the same," but I stuck to the door and refused to move. [Judging by her weight, it would have been a difficult job.) For the defence two women were called, and declared that complainant threw sneers at defendant, and spat in his face.—The case was dismissed. AN UNLICENSED DOG. John Hannan, a Cadoxton bo;irdiiig-house keeper, was proved by Police-constable Clynch to have a dog in his possession, aua having no licence at the time he was now ordered to pay a fine of 7s 6d including costs. UNMUZZLED BOW-WOWS. The Order of the Home Office in relation to dogs being allowed about the streets unmuzzled continues to be rigidly enforced, and to-day, for committing a breach of its provision, the following were fiued .-Thomas Robertson, bank manager, 5s Frank Sainsbury, 5s Edward Hughes, 5s Wm Wood, 5s; and Louisa Clarke, 7s 6d. ROBBING THE SWEEP. James Whitchurch, a blind man, was fined 2s 6d for allowing the chimney of his house to be on fire, aud John Oak, a resident of Barry-road, was ordered to pay a like amount for a similar offence. CAUTIONED. Peter Lewis fought with three men in Dock View-road, and, admiring his pluck, the Bench, before whom he was brought on a charge of obstruc- tion, decided to dismiss him with a caution. INDECENT CONDUCT. Rose Heath, who was proved by Police-constable Welsby and another witn, ss to have been loitering around the Bassett Arms Hotel soliciting prostitu- tion, was now fined jEl or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment. A sad feature about this case revealed itself after the close of the case. Two young children in coutt, apparently those of the prisoner, burst into loud crying, aud were removed iu a distressful state outside. THE DRUNKARDS. Charles Hannan led the way of the drunkards' and after 2s 6d had been imposed was followed by Mary Aun Anthony, who was likewise ordered to pay that amount. Then came James Donovan and Nicholas Brown, fined 7s 6d W. Cowling, W. Ridley, Patrick Cannon, and Maud Evans, 5s each. A VIOLENT PRISONER. It took four constables to remove George Paddon from Holton-road to the Police station, so violent was his drunken conduct. Police-constable Welsby found him fighting in the street, with a crowd around him. Police-constable Welsby, who first went to him, was attacked in a violent manner. Resisting arrest, Paddon kicked the constable on the leg, gave him a black-eye, and bit him on the finger. Paddon made some allegations against the ft lice for i/l-treating him inside the station, but olice-bergeant R. H. Thomas and Inspector Williakna denied this, and defendant was now fined |15B Oft in default, 14 days' imprisonment. A SMASHER. Thomas Richards, a sailor, who, while in his' cups, entered the Clive Arms, Penarth, on Satur- day night, and became annoyed because he could. not be served with drink, and btoke a large plate-glass j window, value f4, the property of Mr Mules, the landlord. Police-constables James also had a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct against prisoner, who was now sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. NO NAME ON CART. Police-constable Hale proved that George Larsby used a cart upon which there was no name, al.d he was now fined 2s 6d, including ousts. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. John Stephens, a labourer, who was proved by Pol ice-con stable Chilcott to have used obscene language on the street on a recent Sunday night, was tined 6s.

NEW GRAVING DOCK AT BARRY. FACILITIES FOR REPAIRS AT THE PORT. EXTENSIVE ADDITION. The new dry dock which has been in course of construction for some time past by Messrs Price and Wills, contractors, was put into use sans cercmonie on Friday last. Built for the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company, Limited, the new dock will be an extensive addition to that company's conveniences for ship repairing. Hitherto when any very lengthy steamer has been placed under repair it has occupied the whole of the space capable of accommodating four ordinary-sized vessels at the company's dry dock, and oftentimes this has occasioned delay to other steamers awaiting repairs through their not being able to obtain a berth. The dock will, however, supply a great necessity and obviate any delay, the Ungth of the new dock being such that a steamer 620 feet in length may be comfortably berthed within it. Its total length is 627 feet 8 inches, and its situation on the southern side of the company's workshops is very accommodating for these. It is so constructed that it may be used as a double dock, when there will be room for two vessels 304 feet and two 316 feet respectively. This permits the company to dry dock eight large steamers at the same time. At high-water spiing tides the depth of water inside is 27 feet 9 inches, and at high-water neap tides 19 feet 3 inches. It is 65 feet in breadth. At the entrance to the dock there is huge floating caisson, supported by strong iron boxes or tanks. This was built by the famous r. firm of Messrs R. Stephenson, Newcastle-on- Tyne. The dock was designed by Sir J. Wolfe- Barry, K.C.B., whose resident representatives are Mr R. C. H. Davidson and Mr P. R. Warren. The work of construction was com- menced in 1896. Alongside, on land running between the old and new docks, the workshops have been greatly extended, and the arrange- ments for carrying out repairing work made in every way complete. The first steamer to enter was the Isabel, of London, to which extensive repairs will be made.

SHIPWRECKED CREW AT BARRY. COLLISION OFF THE NASH. The Bristol Channel has been singularly free of serious collisions for a long time, but a disaster occurred just before midnight on Friday between Breaksea Point and the Nash. The Norwegian steamer Edith, of Christiansund (Captain P. R. Neilson) left Cardiff that night with a crew of 17 all told, coal laden, for Barcelona. The night was pretty clear and the sea moderately calm. All went well until between Breaksea Point and the Nash had been reached, and then all at once a big steamer came crashing into the starbeard side of the Edith. The impact was terrible, and the captain and crew of the Edith realised that their ship could not survive it. The men forth- with proceeded to clamber up the sides of the colliding steamer, which proved to be the Italian steamer Beta, from Liverpool to Bristol. Captain Neilson and 13 men were rescued and landed at Barry, where they were lodged for a time at Andrew's Coffee Tavern until able to catch the 6.49 a.m. train for Cardiff. Two other men were rescued in an exhausted con- dition by the steamship Jersey, but the cook was drowned.
