RATE DEFAULTERS. There were about 40 cases on the list against householders for the non-payment of their general district and poor rates. Out of these orders were made upon the following to pay the reruainrler having been settled out of court: —Joseph Mackenzie, George Lloyd, G.

Richards admitted the offencp, but urged that she was provoked through complainant's con- duct towards her.—The Bench decided to dismiss the case. ALLEGED OBSTRUCTION. A boilermaker named Win Lloyd, 130, Ciive- road, Barry Island, was charged with obstruct- ing the police whilst in the execution of their duty. Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, solicitor, Barry Dock, appeared for the defence. Police- constable S'iiiluiii stated that on the evening of the 20th ult., at 9.45 p.m., he was quelling a disturbance at Clive-road, Barry Island. De- fendant came up behind him and gave a tug at his coat sleeve and demanded to know, in an excited manner, why he did not stop the dis- turbance. The constable told him he was trying to do so, and defendant replied and threatened to have his coat taken off." Maud Rees gave corroborative evidence.-The Bench cautioned the defendant against any repetition of his conduct. KEEPING DOGS WITHOUT A LICENCE.

According to the evidence of the constable, Thomas and Janet Murton were also applauding the combatants, and for their couduct were now ordered to pay 5s each. Sarah Nftsu and Sarah and William Lloyd were each fined as for similar conduct. Thomas Hewitt, who was charged with being dis- orderly, seated he had the toothache very badly, and the pain caused him to shout. He was fined as.
- PARSON AND PRINCE.
PARSON AND PRINCE. Some people have a clever but uneviable knack of dealing out iusults disguised as compliments, of bestowing blame which shall seem as praise, until a careful examination reveals its real meaning. When Frederick. Prince of Wales, father of George III, died, a fashionable minister preached a sermon on that event in Mayfair Chapel, London, in the course of which he remarked The Prince had no great pirts, but he had great virtues indeed, they degenerated into vices he was very generous, but I hear his generosity has ruined a great many people and then, his condescension was such that he kept bad c impany. In similar style it is constantly said of some alleged remedial agents that they are well known. True; but for what are they well known. For their remedial power ? Not always I spent pounds in trying to find a curp, and I should have gone on spending had not a friend from Shrewsbury urged me to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, writes Mr Thomas N rthcott, of Dreason, near Lostwithiel, on June 20th, 1902. "For years I have been subject to sudden and excruciating pains in my stomach. I was in constant dread, never knowing when I should be seized. Had it been an ordinary pain lasting, say, for an hour or two, that would have been bad enough but I was incapaci- tated for a fortnight or three weeks at a time, being unable to eat, sleep, or remain long in one position. I was thankful for every one moment's respite. Every remedy that could be thought of was resorted to without avail, and I also took the advice of four medical men—two of them Plymouth physicians- but they could never get at the root of the ill. One doctor, certainly, gave me a pill that deadened the pain for a while, but it did no more. I was almost despairing of a cure when my-Shrewsbury friend brought me half a bottle of Mother Seigel's Cura- tive Syrup, which she insisted on my accepting. The benefit I derived from that small quantity was wonderful. Nothing which the doctors had given to me, nor a y of the patieut medicines I had tried, acted upon me as that did. I was soon relieved, and from that day to t' i* I have never risked being without a supply of it on hand. If its price were f5 I would pay it rather than be without a bottle d it in the house. I have rccommended it whenever I have an opportunity of doing so, and al ways with good results."
TABERNACLE WELSH INDEPENDENTS.
TABERNACLE WELSH INDEPEN- DENTS. FORTHCOMING SPECIAL MEETINGS. On Sunday and Monday next Welsh people will have an opportunity of hearing two young and successful preachers in the Welsh Inde- pendent Connexion at 1 abernacl Welsh Church, Holton-road, on the occasion of the annual special services. The Rev W. Tanner Hughes, of Cardiff, and Prof. T. Rees, M.A., Brecon College, are expected to occupy the pulpit. The latter has had an exceptional career. A native of Pembrokeshire, he started to work in the mines near Aberdnre, and after entering college he matriculated in his second year, passed his intermediate examination in his third year, and obtained his B.A. degree in his fourth year, afterwards taking a course at Mansfield College, Oxford, where he graduated M.A. The Rev Tanner Hughes has occupied impor- tant pastorates at Ebbw Vale, and subsequently removed to Belfast and Weymouth. At the latter place the health of the rev gentleman broke down, and he returned to Wales to take charge of a Welsh church at Cardiff.

DISTRICT COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
DISTRICT COUNCIL COMMITTEES. GAS AND WATER. The Gas and Water Committee of the Barry District Council met on Monday afternoon", under the presidency of Councillor J. A. Manaton, there were also present Councillors J. Milward and James Jones. GAS EXTENSIONS. Mr F. M. Harris, the gas engineer, in the course of his report to the committee, stated that since the last meeting 26 gas services had been laid, 21 ordinary meters fixed, as well as 60 pre-paympnt meters, and 38 pre-payment gas cooking stoves. GAS AT DINAS POWIS. A report made in detail by Mr W. D. Wil- liams was placed before the committee showing the houses consuming gas in the village of Dinas Powis and those not at present doing so. Con- sumers numbered 136 and non-consumers 139— a difference of thr, e. It was not anticipated, however, that any satisfactory result would follow canvassing until next spring, for the consumers already had oil lamps in use. The tenants of houses at Eastbrook to whom the committee bad declined to supply gas, all residing on the other side of the Barry Railway, have all signed agreements to consume the quantity of gas required, and under the circum- stances it seems unfortunate that they could not be supplied. WATER. Mr E. W. Waite, the water engineer, iu the course of his usual monthly report, stated that the consumption of water during the month of August was 21,677,526 gallons, the average daily consumption being 679,871 gallons, or equal to 23 gallons per day per head of the population, the average being 19,459 gallons more than in August, 1901. The rainfall in August was "50, or half an inch below the average for that month during the last fourteen years. DINAS POWIS RESERVOIR. Mr E. W. Waite (water engineer) reported that the remaining portion of the old wooden fence surrounding the reservoir was in a very bad condition and required replacing. Mr Waite suggested that an iron railing similar to that now surrounding the other portion of the ground be fixed. It was decided to carry out this suggestion. APPLICATION. George Portingell, a gasfitter, who has worked for the Council for four years, applied for an advance in wages of one half-penny per hour, the same rate as the foreman fitter was paid. The application was refused. PUBLIC WORKS. Councillor J. H. Jose presided over the monthly meeting of the above committee, held on Tuesday afternoon last. There were also present Councillors J. A. Manaton, J. A. Hughes, and J. L. Davies. LINE OF FRONTAGE. The secretary of the Post-office Department, also the architect of the building, wrote stating that they could not agree to the suggestion of the Council re the alteration of line of frontage to both the proposed Post Office and Custom House buildings. FENCING QUARRIES. The Surveyor (Mr Pardoe) reported that an unclimbable fence was required on the high ground at the top of the Hatch Quarry, aud suggested that an iron fence, 6ft. 6in. high, be placed there. About 286ft. of railiug would r equire and th" c 'st of anno would he £160. On tip.: motion of Councillor Manaton, it was lecided to make an application to the Local (jovernuient Board for permission to borrow rbe money to carry out the work. Mr Pardoe was also instructed to inquire into the condition of the old quarries in Main- street and Barry-road, Cadoxton. TENDERS FOR PAVEMENTS. In dealing with the tenders for laying down [lavements in different parts of the town, it was pointed out that one tender had been sent in too late, and had not bf;en scheduled with Jhe others, and it was resolved not to open this tender. The following tenders were accepted for carrying out the work in different parts of the town :—Weston Hill, Mr A. Brock, £675; Holton road. Mr A. Brock, £435; Broad street, Mr A. Brock, £884:; Court road, Mr R. Burton, £1,267; Barry road, Mr A. Brock, £834; Harbour road, Mr S. J. Martin, £199; Park crescent, Mr S. J. Martin, £218; Canon street, Mr S. J. Martin, £235; one side Harbour road to iihip Hotel, Mr S. J. Martin, £538. In most of the above cases it was decided to proceed only with the side of the roads which are built upon, and this will reduce the tenders to a much lower figure. FOOTPATH APPROACHES. The Purveyor recommended that irou gates be placed instead of stiles, &c., on the following footpaths :—Trebarne road to Merthyr Dovan Pencoitre road to Port road. past the high level reservoir, and also >ir, the junction of the Jasf- mentioned foutpath near he low level reservoir. Fifteen would he required, the cost being about £O. ° On the motion of Mr J. Arthur Hughes, it was rteci led that these gates by purchased and erected. APPROACH TO CEMETERY. Pinr-s and sections were submitted for laying out and improving the wpproacb t > the ceme- tery shewing the proposed belts of trees on boi it sides cf the roadway approaching the cemetery, and also the rounding off the approach at both corners at its junction with Barry road.—It was agreed to make application for sanction to borrow the money to carry out the work. PRIVATE STREET IMPROVEMENTS. It was decided to apply for a loan of £409 for carrying out private street improvements in llminstcr street, Cadoxton. TELEGRAPH POLES. The Surveyor reported that be had met Mr Price, the loc^il postmaster, on the ground near the Barry Brewery, and had no objection to the postal authorities erecting poles there. He also suggested that they pay a nominal rental and remove same when called upon to do so.
MR CARNEGIE AND BARRY.
MR CARNEGIE AND BARRY. A RLNT FOR THE FUTURE. GENBUOsITY OF THE BARRY ESTATE COMPANY. At a meeting of the Barry Free Library Com- mittee last Friday night ft letter was read from Mr Andrew Carngie ill response to an invitation to iay the foundation stone of the new free library building which is to be erected with the £8,000 he has given. He declined the invita- tion, but intimated that opening free libraries was his chief public work, and that this should be borne in mind when the building was com- pleted. The Barry Estate Company wrote offering free a site in Porthkerry-road, Barry, for a reading-room. It was stated that the District Council had a piece of common land at the bottom of Weston Hill which would be suitable for a reading-room for the Cadoxton end of the town. It was decided to consider the offer of the Estate Company, and the question of erecting reading-rooms at Cadoxton at a special meeting of the Committee to be held on Friday evening next.
British Homes Assurance Corporation
British Homes Assurance Corporation PUBLIC MEETING AT CARDIFF. THE MAYOR'S OPINION OF THE SOCIETY, ADDRESS BY COUNCILLOR HUBBARD, L.C.C. The British Homes Assurance Corporation, Limited, held a public social gathering at the Y.M.C.A. Lecture Hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening in last week to afford an opportunity of hearing an address explanatory of its aims and objects from Councillor Hubbard, L.C.C., a prominent member of the directorate. The attendance, increasing year by year, showed e marked advance to preceding gatherings, tha ball being comfortably filled. The Mayor (Councillor F. J. Bevan, J.P.) presided, and was supported on the platform by Alderman Hubbard, Mr W. Morgan, chief inspector of the Corporation for the South Wales district, Mr Tapson, solicitor, and others. The Mayor, who was cordially greeted on rising to address the meeting, said he was glad to be present as he always felt glad to meet—if he might call him so—his old friend Alderman Hubbard, whom he had pleasure of knowing for some few years, while he also knew their Chief Inspector (Mr Morgan) whose persistent appeals to come and address that meeting he could not resist. That day he (the Mayor) bad performed more than eight hours' work prior to coming to that meeting, having been receiv- ing an important deputation from Grimsby, and entertaining soldiers returning from the front. (Cheers.) He felt glad to be associated with Councillor Hubbard in the fulfilment of important social work in connection with lunacy and other important municipal matters, and presumed that he had a right to infer from such a knowledge of his work that any institu- tion with which his name was closely identified, like British Homes Assurance Corporation, was in every respect worthy. (Cheers.) He felt glad to learn that the society was making an increasingly greater and more favourable impression on the minds of the people of Cardiff year by year. (Cheers. j Having read a letter about the society he felt that AldermaD Hubbaid and his co-directors had a right to expect that their association shall progress. He did not know exactly the lines upon which it was based, but as far as he could see, everything seemed in favour' of the working-man, and within the range of a work- ing-man's income. He would be glad if as a result of that meeting there was found a great desire on the part of those present to become policy-holders in the Corporation. One of the distinctive features of the association was that a policy-holder not only got his life insured, but entered into an agreement by which he would eventually become the possessor of his own house. If two such important matters as the acquirement of property, and safeguarding the the interests ot a man's family by insuring his own life could be effected under one policy and be one and the same transaction, he certainly considered this a very important undertaking, and one with which people should identify themselves. The institution was absolutely sound and well-founded as Alderman Hubbard would be able to show them. An institution which encouraged thrift, and was brought within the range of the limited means of work- ing-men should certainly be supported." Here indeed was a chance for a working-man to put by his savings, and they would recur to him in a manner which by-and-bye would be extremely pleasant. In conclusion, he hoped the audience would take it that he was sincerely glad to be present, and give whatever aid he could to the institution. (Cheers.) Mr Tapson, solicitor, then read the following telegram from Edinburgh — Scotch staff congratulate Welsh division on securing fourth place in divisional honours list, despite great difficulties you have encountered. Wish you greater well deserved success in future. New business completed. Scotland this month is at rate of two hundred and twenty-five thousand per year." Mr W. Morgan, chief inspector, also delivered a short address, in the course of which he said that Wales occupied fourth place on the list of 24 divisions of the corporation in the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) Next year they hoped to still further improve that position. Referr- ing to the corporation he declared that most people took au interest for the money they intended to utilise, and the society advanced on property which certificate holders possessed sums ranging from £25 to £5,000. The qualifying period for an advance was five years, and ail securities must be approved, conse- quently there was no risk of the society ever being unable to meet their liabilities. (Cheers.) Councillor Hubbard, L.C.C., who was very cordially greeted, expressed his thanks to the Mayor for wrenching himself away from his public work, and denying himself a few hours home comfort in order to attend their meeting. Cardiff had always been kind to them in that respect, for on their platform they bad a staunch friend in that grand old gentle man-the llite Aldertuan Thomas Rees, a worthy citizen of a great and important town. (Cheers.) He (the speaker) had been amongst them several times urging people to habits of thrift, and trying to show that British Homes was the very institution to benefit people who were striving to benefit themselves, and he made that challenge that no person who had acted on his advico could be found to regret having done so, while there was not a word that be (the speaker) had said in the past that he would not emphasise that I evenii g agiiin. Personally, he did not believe in the gospel of getting all they could and spending all they e.J11ld. They must rather take care of v. hat they get, and if possible they owed it to their relatives and to the State, to be thriity and prepare for a rainy day. (Hear, hear.) A man bad no right to do what he liked with his own if by so doing he injured his fellow-men. It was so much better to live for their country than to fight for it, and the greatest patriot was he who would say, "I will struggle to benefit my fellow-men and women, and so make their Jives br'ghter, better, and more joyous." After referring to the advantages of combination the speaker declared that building societies had been the means of assisting hundreds of people to own their own homesteads, but this was the old stage coach way of doing it. The British Homes was speedier and more helpful. Before 1870, fur instance, anyone could start a life insurance company without money, but in 1872 an Act bad been passed compelling them to first of all deposit and in regard to the British Homes five members of the board of directors had found £11,000 of this to com- mence operations, a fttet which showed the confidence these gentlemen reposed in the iu- stitution. In this department actuarial valua- tionx were made every five years, and on each year's subscriptions they had allocated 10 per cent, as bonuses. Referring to life insurance, the speaker said the old-time question was Can a man be a Christian and insure his life?" To-day the question was "Can a mau be a Christian and not insure his life?" There were hundreds of men in important positions to-day, and if death removed them, those who were formerly dependent upon them would be left to the culd hand of charity. The speaker cited I some striking instances. In the British Homes Society a little while ago. however, a Cardiff man at, 55 years of ago insured his life, and owmg to bis age r ad to pay £17 7s 9d as the first yenr's subscription. Before the year he was gone, and his widowreceJved £300. The Society, however, insured their lives and got their house free with the same money. There were different sections of life assurance and endowments in connection with the (Society. A young man at the age of 21 commencing with them would pay 9a 2d per month; and if he died next day his relatives would receive £250. At the end of five years, however, if he saw a house valued at £2ÓO and wanted to purchase it, the British Homes Corporation would advance him the money, which would be re-paid at the rate of £ 18 a year premium and interest to liquidate the liability, and, in addition, would participat in the net divisible profits to the extent of 80 per cent, 20 per cent alone being deducted for the shareholders. By mpans of the Society a man would thus insure his life and secure b is own house at less cost than by paying rent. (Cheers.) It was a provident institution on simple and sound business principles. There was a total abstainers' section, the premiums for which were slightly reduced. The Society had been in existence ten years, and bad advanced during that time over S300,000 to its members, and over 800 persons bad purchased property through the institution, the premium income of which bad grown so that in the first 18 months £ 10,000 was received, while last year it was no less tLan £ 70,000. • Mr H. Tucker (a certificate holder) proposed vote of thanks to Alderman Hubbard, and instanced a case in which the speaker's own son, at 20 years of age, had increased his certificate from £ 200 to Y,250, thus carrying into practical effect the gospel of providing for later years. (Cheers.) Mr Tapson, solicitor, seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation. Subsequently Alderman Hubbard moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding, Mr W. Morgan seconding the vote, which was similarly carried. A varied and entertaing pro- gramme of musical selections was gone through in the course of the evening.
CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the views expressed by our correspondents.—ED. HOUSE RENT AT CADOXTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BARRY HERALD." SIR, In the HERALD for last week I find Mr Peter Wride, of 1, Jenkin-street, Cadoxton, asks Why live in Bprry, or anywhere else, at lis per week house rent, when similar pre- mises can be obtained at Cadoxton at 4s per week, hot baths, good gardens, open spaces, &c ?" Now, sir, lest this statement of Mr Wride should make those living at Barry un easy and eause many to take a leap in the dark, I beg to challenge the writer to substan- tiate his remarks by stating in what streets in Cadoxton can houses be secured at 4s per week similar to those at Barry for which 11s are paid weekly." It is true, cheap houses can be obtained at Cadoxton in certain streets where the majority of the tenants are of an indolent, drunken, and Bohemian character, as the condition of their domiciles, in and out side, unmistakably testifies, but those wishful to live tranquilly in healthy houses with modern conveniences, and surrounded by respectable neighbours, must, yea at Cadoxton, pay 8s or 9s weekly; and this statement Mr Wride can not truthfully deny. Those who know anything about house pro- perty understand full well that houses of the character described by Mr Wride could not be let for 4s weekly, as the ground rent, rates and taxes,i repairs, and the general expenses atten- dant upon house property would well nigh reach that amount, thereby leaving nothing but a diminishing lease as a legacy to the owner. Mr Wride, before be has resided as long at Cadoxton as I have at Barry, may yet assume a sullen countenance and cease offering praises and recounting benefits, and quit the old navvy quarter in search of the cleanliness, healthful- ifess, and respectable society to be found at Barry, which sfands in striking contr-ist to thttt prevailing at Cadoxton. The writer also speaks of "the Republics I have visited." Upon that I will not comment, as, not being a rover myself, I may not have experienced the joy of constantly forming fresh acquaintances, as I believe that old friends generally are better than new ones, for friend- ship, to be steadfast and lasting, must be based upon experience of one another, and not be the product of impulses and sensations which lead to inconstancy of mind. Now that Mr Wride has been transported to the Isle of the Blessed, I feel sure he will be tolerant towards me for thus opposing his views upon the matter of house rent at Cadoxton.— I am, &c., AN ADMIRER OF TRUTH. Romilly-road, Barry, Sept. 30, 1902.
A RESOLUTION WITH REASONS.
A RESOLUTION WITH REASONS. MOTION BEFOHE THE SCHOOL BOARD. The Rev W. Williams, vice-chairman of the Barry School Board, has given notice to move the following resolution at the next meeting of the Board—"That the Board protests against the passing into law of the Education Bill now before Parliament on the following grounds :— 1. Because it abolishfs School Boards, which, during the thirty years of their existence, have served the cause of National Educa- tion with mttrkea success and increasing efficiencj. 2. Because the Bill violates the principle of popular control by abolishing a directly elected authority and by replacing it by a committee, no member of which need be directly representative of, or responsible to, the people. 3. Because the Bill limits the Education (elementary) of the children of the people to those under 15 years of age, and makes no provision for raising and continuously improving the standard of education thus given. 4. The Bill provides rate-aid for Denominational Schools and other schools under private management without securing adequate and commensurate popular control. 4. If the Bill becomes law, it will greatly in- crease the rates, and at the same time diminish the control of the expenditure of the name. 5. Because it is partial in its treatment, con- tinuing the additional aid grant to De- nominational Schools, &nd making no such provision for the present existing Board Schools, a course of treatment which will tend to encourage the creation and multi- plication of small Sectarian Schools, especially in rural districts, in the interests of dogmatic teaching, and to the detriment of progressive education. 6. The ratepayers' children will not be eligible to become either apprentices or teachers in the aforesaid Denominational Schools unless they are adherents of the particular religious body by which such schools are controlled. 8. Because the Bill makes no satisfactory pro- vision for the better and more general training of teachers. 9. The provisions of the Bill utterly fail to pro- vide a satisfactory scheme whereby the continuous developement of Secondary Education in its Technical and Commercial aspects may be assured. 10. Because the Bill has been framed with the view of perpetuating the existence of Sectarian Schools aud Training Colleges at the expense of national efficiency, religious equality, and civic justice."

BARRY REVISION COURT. --
BARRY REVISION COURT. ACTIVITY OF LIBERAL AGENT. MATERIAL GAIN FOR THE LIBERAL PARTY. Mr Den man Benson sat at Barry Dock on Tuesday to revise the lists of voters for the neighbouring parishes. Mr Morgan Thomas and Mr Edward E. Evans appeared fir the Liberal party, and Mr R. C. Griffiths, solicitor, Bridgend, and Mr J. Lovat-Fraser for the Con- servatives. Lodger claims were not contested by either party; but Mr W. C. Howe (the assistant overseer) raised several objections, and claims which had been put in by both sides were disallowed. A ONE MAN COMPANY. In one case an occupation claimant was not allowed his vote because he was not present to identify himself as being the "company," in whose name the property was rated. Mr Benson He may be the company all right, but he must come here to say so. BIBLE TESTIMONY. A claim for a vote was made by a young man, who, it was stated, was not 21 years of age, according to an entry in the family Bible, which did not correspond with the certificate of birth put in by the objectors.Mr Morgan Thomas I don't think that is sufficient. Entries in family Bibles are not all correct; as a matter of fact, there is an error in the entries in our family Bible. The birth certificate ought to be produced—Mr Howe The father told me the entry in the Bible corresponds with the certifi- cate of birth.—The Revising Barrister: I believe the testimony of the Bible entry, and the claim will be disallowed. A MISTAKEN NOTION. The Conservatives objected in the course of the sitting to the occupation vote of Mr Francis A. Hibbert. of Setterington, Din.as Powis, who claimed successively from Henstaff Court. Mr R. C. Griffiths urged that the latter place was outside the division, but after the production of various maps the revising barrister allowed the claim. THE LIBERAL FIGURES. SOUTH WARD. Liberals. Tories.

"EXCITING INCIDENT.,
EXCITING INCIDENT. RESCUE AT RIVERSIDE STATION, CARDIFF. On Monday night upon the arrival of the 10.30 train from Barry, at Cardiff Riverside Station an exciting incident occurred. A woman named Harris had returned from Gloucester by an excursion train, and was noticed in the 4ft way just as an engine was approaching. A dockworker named Davies from Barry promptly jumped down to drag her out of danger, but finding difficulty in moving her he ran up the line and warned the engine driver who managed to pull up about twenty yards from where the woman lay. It was found that she had sprained her ankle by falling from the platform. She was carried to the waiting-room and afterwards placed in the train for Barry. The woman, whose correct name is Botting, hut whose maiden name is Harris, was found on arrival at Barry to have broken her leg. A SAD SEQUEL. Information has been given to the police at Barry that a crane-driver named James Botting, of 13, Aberystwyth-crescent, on Monday even- ing drank spirits of salts, and is lying in a precarious state. He is the husband of the woman who was rescued from near an engine at Riverside Station, Cardiff, on Monday night, and his wife's absence is said to have preyed on his miud. Dr Kiug attended the man, who throughout Tuesday was in a very critical state. -u_
