Xi. U.C.W. Advanced Dairy…
Xi. U.C.W. Advanced Dairy School. This summer's term is drawing to its close, and before Miss Darrell and her students leave us I am anxious to say something about the admirable work now being done in this Dairy School by the bead teacher, and Miss Ellis, Mies Thomas and Miss Davies. ffVn b^c-oment of the older portion of the college buildings contains several bright., airy, and cool rooms which are fitted up for the purposes of the dairy and cookery instruction regularly given there in the months of August and September. The 41 students this term are;farmers' daughters, 17 from Carmarthensbire, 15 from Cardiganshire. 4 u-oui I'e-iibrokeshire, o iV.ro Rreconshire, and 2 from Merionethshire—just the very young women for whose advancement in the arts of dairying and cookery the various county' councils give the scholarships, which enable the pupils to avail themselves of this tuition, The object of this summer school is to enable our future dairymaids and mistresses to improve themselves, aud to improve their output. The very best methods of butter and cheese making are taught in the practical classes here during term time. It is satisfactory to state that the girls arc most interested in their studies, and open to learn all that can be taught them. They have their rooms in the town, and derive no small advantage in the m.õtli: uf other girls, 111.. formation of friend- ships and the refining influences which accrue from auch a gathering of young people having one interest in common. The subjects taught are hard cheese--Caerpbily, Cheddar, and Stilton; soft fancy cheese—Coulom- nier, Gervais, Pont l'Evque, and Double Cream; separating, milk testing, and butter making. _0-- The cookery course embraces scullery work, roasting, boiling, baking and stewing various ways of cooking cold meat; soups sick-room cookery; various puddings and cakes; and differ- ent methods of cooking fish and vegetables. The milk. about 50 gallons daily—is supplied by four farms in Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire, and the table which records its quality shows a re- markable regularity. Samples are taken daily and analyzed by the pupils to show the percentage of butter fat,. which tells with no hesitating voice that the milk sup- plied is of the best quality. The tester used is the 'Geroer,' with sulphuric aci(i and Amyl-alcohol. Neatness and cleanliness are to be seen in every- thing, in fact nothing is more striking than the thoroughness which is so characteristic a feature in all arrangements. Some of the note books in which the girls enter their details of every day's work are models of their kind for accuracy and close observation, and must be of great future advantage to their owners when used in the re- mote fastnesses of many a mountain dairy, when the living voice and practical demonstration of the teachers are no longer ava ilable. The pupils are divided into four sections, and the four teachers are all working at the same time. With an interval for dinner the day's work lasts from 9 a.m. to about 6 p.m., and even then the pupils seem as if like Oliver Twist, they ask for more. This is the first year of the cookery classes, which are held in a delightfully bright large room fitted up as an ordinary kitchen with coal and j?as stoves, and cupboards containing all necessary culinary aiLicles, pots and pans. Everything made in the kitchen is sold, the buy- •urs coming hugely from the pupils themselves, and the proceeds go to the school funds. All the tempting and dainty dishes, which formed so annetisinir a department in the recent exhibition of Welsh Industries were made in the cookery school the days of the exhibition. The butter making is taught in all its latest im- proved methods, the pupils doing everything them- selves, from the hurning to the packing of the finished article in its dainty grease proof paper. It is here, perhaps, that one sees the great ad- vance which has taken place from the dairying of -even twenty years ago, when T remember how a ■woman famed fur and wide for her butter, never entered her spotless dairy without first leaving her clogs at the door, and who took her pats wrapped in cabbage leaves and muslin to market, carrying the broad open basket on her head with her Welsh hat on the top of all. The old barrel churn, so difficult to clean, has largely given place to the modern cud over end churn which allows every part to be well and thoroughly scalded after use, and is able to make the butter far sooner than its predecessor. Scalding and cleaning of all vessels form a very prominent, feature in the school, Miss Darrell rightly insisting on perfect cleanliness in all de- partment."—that cleanliness which is so absolutely Necessary if the high standard aimed at in her lessons is to be attained by her students. Nor is the commercial side of the butter and cheese industry omitted; pupils have to make themselves conversant with the rise and fall of Market, prices, and all that is necessary to bring Producer and consumer together. All butter and cheese made in the school finds sale, in fact, it often happens that the de- mand is far g-reater than the supply, and that no stock is available to meet the bespoke orders, to say nothing of the casual buyers. The School gets many visitors, mainly those who aro practically interested in its welfare and in the Progress of the pupils. Amon 1- ¡w vf. W o m^ which force them- selves upon the notice of a visitor are the way in Which cream separators are coming- to the front, and modern improvements gradually hut surely ^scrtin" t.hcmsolves.

Y TRANSVAAL.
Y TRANSVAAL. SWN RHYFEL. Borcu dydd Sadwrn yr oedd cryn gyffro yn mbrif borthladdoedd deheuol y Deyrnas. Yr oedd Southampton, yn enwedig, yn anarferol o fywiog. Yr achos ydoedd ymadawiad y milwyr i Ddeheu Affrica. Ymadawodd y cadfridog, Syr George White a'i swyddogion am Natal i wneud darpar- pariadau, a chanlynir hwynt yn union gan amryw gatrawdau o filwyr. Dywedir fod perchenogion rhai o brif longan Lerpwl sydd yn mynychu Deheu Affrica wedi cwblhau cytundeb Llywodraeth i gludo y milwyr allan os bydd angen. Y mac Swyddfa Rhyfel wedi trefnu i anfon allan o Loegr ac India, 49,000 o wyr yn nghyd a 12,000 o fulod, a 10,000 o geffylau. Anfonir allan hefyd lu cryf o farchogion yn nghyd a nifer mawr o fagnelau. Y mae Colonel Vincent, A.S., yn dweyd y gwna ef godi tair mil o wirfoddolwyr i fyned allan i ym- ladd os bydd i'r Swyddfa Rhyfel ganiatau iddo. Y mae y sefyllfa erbyn hyn wedi dyfod yn ber- yglus o gyfyng ac ofnir y bydd i ryfel dori allan oni fydd i bethal1 droi er gwell yn fuan. Mewn atebiad i genadwri Mr. Chamberlain (lywed Lly- wodraeth y Transvaal ei bod wedi dcrbyn cynyg Prydain i wneyd cyd-ymchwiliad ar .gwestiwn etholfraint y saith mlynedd ac nid ydyw yn tueddu i wyro o'r safle hwnw yn awr Arweinwyd y Transvaal i gredn y byddai y cynyg a wnaethant o etholfraint yn mhen pum mlynedd yn dderbyniol gan y Llywodraeth Brvdeinig. Gwnaed y cynyg o dan yr argraff hwnw. Yn awr y mae Prydain yn derbyn y cynyg parthed yr etholfraint, ond y mac yn gwrthod dau o'r amodau mwyaf pwysig yn y cynyg hwn, sef rhoddi heibio penarglwyddiaeth a chyfiafareddiad penodol. Y n y Transvaal y faTll yw fod y pum mlynedd yn effeithio ar annibyniacth y wlad, os na fydd i Loegr beidio ymyryd a hwy yn mhellach a rhoddi i fyny y sail i ymyryd, olierwvdd golyga pum mlynedd y bydd i'r dinasyddion newyddion or-rifo yr hen rai mewn ychydig amser a gallent barliau i edrych ar Loegr fel eu gallu noddawl. ARAETH GAK JOHN MORLEY. Dydd Gwener bu Mr. John Morley a Mr. Courtncy (Undebwr) yn anerch cyfarfod mawr yn Manceinion. Yr oedd y cyfarfod wedi ei alw er protestio myned i ryfel a'r Transvaal, ac yr oedd yn un o'r cynulliadau mwyaf fu yn y ddinas erioed. Yr oedd dros ddcng mil o bobl yn yr adeilad, Llywyddwyd gan Mr. John Albert Bright. Gwnaccl ymgais i greu cynhwrf yn yr adeilad, ond llwydd- odd Mr. Morley i ddarbwyllo y dyrfa. Un o'r cyliuddiadau gwaethaf yn erbyn y Boeriaid, meddai Mr. Morley, ydyw eu bod yn gwrthod i'r Prydein- wyr gael llais mewn cyfarfodydd cyhoeddus. Nid oes un cyfeiliorniad meddai Mr. Morley, yn fwy damniol na'r cyfeiliornad o gamsynied rhan am yr oil ac un o'r gwallau gwaethaf fedr oddiweddid gwleidyddiaeth ydyw camsynied y rhan am yr oll. Yr oedd llawer o Ijethau yn peri iddo ef ofyn i'w hun os nad oedd y cyfeiliornad hwn o gamsynied rhan am yr olY- yn gyfeiliornad rhy nodweddiadol o werin lywodraethau. Ryw ddwy flyn-ecid yn ol yr oedd Americaniaid yr Unol Dalaethau yn vsu am ryfela ar for a thir ac enill concwest ar ol concwest. Ond erbyn hyn y mae dydd cyfrif wedi dod, ac y mae'r Americaniaid eisoes yn edifarhau. Y maent yn gweled yn eglur os na fydd iddynt hwy ffrwyno yr yspryd milwrol y bydd i'r vsbryd milwrol eu llywodraethu hwy. Ychydig flynyddau yn ol ni fynai yr Americaniaid weled ond un peth ar y tro: ond ni raid i chwi ond darllen y newvddiaduron er g-weled en bod wedi eu I hargyhoeddi o'r cyfeiliornad o gamsynied y rhan am y oil. Yn Ffrainc heddyw y mae rhai pobl yn dewis peidio gweled rhagor nag un peth ar y tro. Ond nid oedd ef (Mr. Morley) yn allhofio fod yn Ffrainc wyr rhagorol—bobl oeddynt wedi ceisio gweled yr oil o'r achos a'i ganlyniadau evil y di- gwyddiad brwnt gytnerodd le dydd Sadwrn pan yr ail gondemniwyd Dreyfus. Yr oedd bobl oreu y genedl Ffrengig yn gweled er's llawer dydd v perygl a (Ideilliai o goleddu yr ysbryd milwrol. Ac heddyw y mae'r ysbryd milwrol yn teyrn-reoli Ffrainc. Yr oedd ef, meddai Mr. Morley, yn sicr y byddai i bobl y wlad hon edifarhau yn fuan o'r dviner sydd yri-eii rheoli heddyw. Havvdd ydoedd gwaeddi am ryfel, ac edrych ar un agwedd yn umg i'r mater. Ond a oeddynt wedi bwrw'r draul, a oeddynt yn myned i rwyg-o y cytundeb Gallasent ruthro i ryfel heb gyfrif y draul a rhwygo pob cytundeb. Ond bydd yn rhaid i rywrai ddwyn y baich a chasglu ynghyd weddillion y cytundeb. Gwell ydoedd cael gol wg eang ar yr achos a gwneud pobpeth er osgoi rbyfd. Nis gallai neb heddyw amgyffred ydifrod a'r galanastra a wnai rhyfel yn Neheu Affrica, ac fe fyddai i'i-canlyniadau aros yn Qindcr ac yn warth am ocsau lawer.

WORLD IN A WEEK.
WORLD IN A WEEK. Human remains have been discovered near the Old Court Quarry at Barry. They are supposed to be relics of some of the old Welsh battles in the feudal days. The floods in Austria are causing great damage. A bridge collapsed into the Schwarza River, and ten people were carried away. A train fell into the river near Muetldorf, and five officials were killed. A panic in a synagogue is reported from Knlisch, in Russian Poland, through the upsetting of a lamp. Thirty-two persons were killed. The threatened lock-out of mill-workers at Dun- dee was carried into effect on Saturday. Many thousands of operatives are now thrown out of employment by the dispute. The strike in the Northampton shoe trade, which threatened to assume large proportions although it was unauthorised by the men's union, was settled on Saturday, the employers agreeing to refer the complaints of the operatives against a particular foreman, which were the cause of the trouble, to arbitration. A serious collision occurred at Tylwch station on the Cambrian line on Saturday morning. The early mail train was standing at the down platform when an excursion train from Brecon to Manchester travelling in the opposite direction, ran into it. One passenger, Miss Margaret Rowlands, of St. Harmon, was killed, and nine others were injured. It is stated that the signal was against the excur- sion train, but no explanation is offered of how that train, which should have passed alongside the up platform, ran instead on to the down line where the mail train was standing. NEATH GREAT FAIR. Neath great fair was held on Thursday in beautiful weather. Thousands of visitors were present, and the town was crowded almost to its utmost capacity. The pleasure fair, which was held in the Bird-in-hand Field, was well patronised. The busiest part of the fair was not as successful as usual, buyers being rather shy. There was a good supply of cows and calves, which realised from E12 to R17 10s. A good supply of sheep and lambs at the usual prices. A short supply of store cattle, mountain ponies, pigs, and colliery horses. There were plenty of horses at from E20 to Z25. A few mountain ponies sold at prices ranging from £7 to £ 9. AMERICA AND THE PHILIPPINES. The signs of a widespread revolt against Presi- dent M'Kinley's policy of the forcible subjugation of the Flipinos are multiplying. Mr. Schurman, a member of the Philippine Commission, has issued a long statement in the course of which he speaks in high terms of the natives, and says he has much sympathy with their aspirations. While not explicitly condemning the President's plan of blood and iron," there are many indications in his statement that he is strongly opposed to it, especially his urging a speedy session of Congress to deal with the matter. There are many other evidences of intense dissatisfaction, even in stiff Republican quarters, over the false position in which Mr. M'Kinley is placing the country. It is well known at Washington that the immediate "entourage" of the President is in a state of panic over the political outlook. All that can now be said with confidence is that the elements of a sweeping reaction are clearly in sig4t and may easily lead to a political revolution. THREATENED STRIKE IN THE WELSH COAL TRADE. 20,000 MEN AFFECTED. There are signs that a great strike of Welsh colliers is threatened. The enginemen, stokers, and outside fitters in the Monmouthshire, Merthyr and Dowlais districts demand an increase of wages and the members of the Enginemen, Stokers, and Outside Fitters' Association at Blaenavon, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, and other colleries have given a month's notice to terminate their contracts. Last Thursday representatives of the Association met the South Wales and Monmouthshire Coalowners' Association in conference. The owners im- mediately urged the unreserved withdrawal of the notices to terminate contracts. This the men declined to agree to. After other suggestions had been made the conference came to an abrupt termination without the main question at issue, concerning wages being discussed. The men will be consulted as to their future action. If the work is suspended in pursuance of the notices issued about 20,000 men will be affected.
THE TRANSVAAL.
THE TRANSVAAL. The reply to the Transvaal Government to the last despatch of the British Government was handed to Mr. Conyngliam Greene, the British Agent at Pretoria, at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning and reached London early on Sunday morning. The main features of the despatch, it is understood are that the Transvaal Government adheres to a seven years' franchise, but is prepared to receive suggestions on the details of the franchise law. It denies that there is any necessity for an agreement on the optional use of the Dutch or English language in the Volksraad proceedings. It de- clares that it is the firm intention of the Transvaal Government to adhere to the Convention of 1884, and that it is prepared to accept arbitration. Finally, while accepting a joint inquiry into the franchise law, the Transvaal Government cannot agree to another conference without further in- formation on the subjects of discussion at that conference. It is stated that the Orange Free State is supporting the Transvaal Government in its present attitude. Additional officers and troops, to the number of over one thousand, went out in the steamers Gaul and Tantallon Castle, which sailed from South- ampton for South Africa on Saturday. They included Sir George White, who takes command in Natal, and his staff, the 1st Northumberland Fusiliers, and officers and men of the Army Service Corps and the Army Ordnance Corps. There were scenes of enthusiasm at Waterloo Station, London, Aldershot, and Southampton as the troops departed, and also many evidences of painful partings from relatives in view of the possibility of active service lying before the soldiers. The despatch of further men and supplies during the week is arranged for. The Times correspondent at Nevcastle, Natal, telegraphed on Saturday as follows:—There is noth- ing to confirm the reDorts that the Boers will concede Mr. Chamberlain's demands. On the contrary, it is stated that 3,000 men will be despatched to the border immediately the Transvaal reply has been sent. It is believed that rifles will be issued to the Johannesburg burghers on Monday, and every- thing points to the prospect of an early conflict. A public meeting convened by the Local Liberal Association was held at Bangor to consider the Transvaal question. Professor Lewis Jones pre- sided. On the motion of Professor Arnold a resolu- tion was adopted declaring that in view of the willingness of the Transvaal Government to submit to arbitration the questions in dispute there was no occasion for war or for threats of war regretting the threats and military preparations made by the British Government, and psotesting- against war on the issues at present before the country. The principal speaker was Mr. Bryn Roberts, M P., who expressed astonishment at the Jingo tone of the speeches made at Carnarvon a few days ago by Mr. Bryn- mor Jones, M.P., and Mr. Ellis Grfffith, M.P., and contended that the character of the points in dis- pute not only failed to justify war but hardly justified even a respectful remonstance on the part of the British Government. He examined in detail the alleged grievances of the Outlanders, and argued that for the most part they (were either unreal or greatly exaggerated. An amend- ment condemning the Boer policy and approving the action of Mr. Chamberlain was put to the meet- ing and received fifteen votes. Last Sunday, there was a great congregation at St. Paul's Cathedral when Canon Scott-Holland preached in the afternoon. At the end of the sermon he said; I cannot close without in one word beseeching you to stUI nourish in your hearts some faint hope of peace—praying tli -,t England may be spared a war which, even if the ugly necessity be forced upon her by stubborn refusal to reasonable demands, cannot, nevertheless, but be ignominious by its very conditions for a great empire to wage—a war in which the inevitable and inglorious victory is found to leave us with consequences so disastrous and so dishonouring. Mr. Chamberlain returned to London on Monday afternoon, alli was engaged for several hours at the Colonial Office. There was also some activity to the War Office and the Foreign Office. As far as can be ascertained, no summones for a Cabinet Council have been issued, but it is expected that there will be a meetiosg of Ministers shortly.
DREYFUS. --
DREYFUS. EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY. The Hyde Park demonstration of sympathy with Captain Dreyfus on Sunday was attended by close upon 50,000 people. Addresses were delivered from seven platforms, and resolutions submitted at tJse close were carried amid much enthusiasm. Soon after the proceedings commenced a French- man and his wife opposite one of the platforms shouted Traitor" when the name of Dreyfus was submitted. They were immediately justled by those near enough to hear the word, and before the polJw could .interfere tbey W.C;f{> Parsed to the edge of the crowd in the direction of the Surpentine. Several people shouted 41 Duck them I" and had not police come to their rescue the hint would have been quickly acted upon. As it was the couple were escorted out of the park by a large number of constables, followed by a hooting crowd which have numbered nearly 20,000. A similar scene occurred towards the close of the meeting, when a young fellow held up his hand against the resolu- tion. The speakers denounced the judges as in- famous traitors, liars, and cowards, and several of them elicited loud cheers by advocating not only a boycott of the Exhibition, but also of all English manufacturers who took the places vacated by the firms as a protest against the Dreyfus conviction. The resolutions expressed sympathy with Captain and Madame Dreyfus, abhorrence of the men who had sullied the honour of the uniform they wore in their long and desperate fight with truth and innocence, and congratulations to Zolo, Picquart, Labori, and Demange. It seems to be certain that Captain Dreyfus will be set at liberty ere long. The matter will come before the French Cabinet on Tuesday, when Ministers will discuss whether the liberation shall follow the signature then of a free pardon, or a decision that the penal requirements of the case have already been complied with by the application to the case of the rule obtaining in France and Algeria, whereby a certain term of imprisonment under such conditions as those to which Dreyfus has been subjected can be made to count for more than the actual time passed in confinement. Now that the excitement of the trial is over, a number of French military officers are expressing them- selves in favour of prisoner's release, and many of the provincial papers insist that pardon should be granted. The following address of sympathy with Madame Dreyfus, issued by the "Daily Chronicle," has been signed by thousands of people throughout the Kingdom. A few copies of the address were received at the J'Welsh Gazette" Office on Monday and the following, among many others readily appended their signatures:— We, the undersigned, beg to express to you our profound sympathy with the unmerited sufferings which you and your husband have undergone, to assure you of our complete belief in Captain Dreyfus's innocence, and to encourage you in the struggle for justice which you and your husband's friends and supporters in France have so nobly maintained. We express also our admiration and honour for the heroic bearing of your husband throughout all his calamities. We beg to assure you that hundreds of thousands of Englishmen and Englishwomen, many of whom are firm friends and deep admirers of the French people and their institutions, look forward to the issue. We regard the truth as now demonstrated, and refuse to be- lieve that justice can be withheld by the French nation." Vaughan Davies, M.P., J.P., D.L. William Abraham, Mabon," M.P., J.P. D. C.

YR WYTHNOS.
YR WYTHNOS. LEISA PUW, PENLLWYN." KAE teulu Ifan Robert A Bet, yn mron i gyd, Yn awr yn gorwedd yn y bedd, Mewn hedd o dwrf y byd; Hen deulu parchus oeddynt A siriol iawn eu rhiw, A bywyd felly ar ei hyd Oedd bywyd Leisa Puw." Talcntog ydoedd Ifan, A Bet oedd fel ei hun A syrnledd natur heb ei Ílid A welid yn mhob un. Fel cymeriadau gwreiddiol, Anfynych caed eu rhyw, A thebyg iawn i'w mam a'i thad, Difrad, oedd Leisa Puw." Mae hanes yr hen deulu Yn llawn o flodau fyrdd, A'i beraroglau sydd o hyd, Mewn bywyd ar ein ffyrdd, Oddiar y cyff y tyfodd, Canghenau cryfion, byw, A changhen iraidd yn Mhenllwyn, Fu'r hyfwyn Leisa Puw." Mewn hiraeth am y teulu Bron llawer un a hyllt, Wrth ganu Tonau awen lun, Yr enwog Ieuan Gwyllt," A'i chwaer oedd fel ein Ieuan," Yn llawn o Ysbryd Duw; Ac at ei brawd, tu hwnt i'r bedd. Mewn hedd aeth Leisa hny." Cadd brofi bias gofidiau, Yn fynych ar ei nun, Ond medrai ei boddlonrwydd glan, Droi dyfroedd Marah'n win; Ymdrechodd fod yn ddedwydd, Lie trengai myrdd o'i rhyw; A buchedd deilwng i'w choffau A feddai Leisa Puw." Er Dad oedd hi yn berffaith, Dymunai fyw yn bur, Ac yn ei clialon nid oedd brad, Na gradd o deimlad sur. Bu'n dirfion yn ei lienaint, Ac yn y fynwent wyw, Ceir colofn o gymeriad da, Uwch beddrod, Leisa Puw." Pisgah, Talgareg. CYPELY". Taflwyd deunaw mil o bobl allan o waith yn Dundee, dydd Sadwrn, trwy streic yn y melinau. Yn Merthyr y dydd o'r blaen gwnaed i Benjamin Lewis, barber, dalu dirwy o bum' swllt am eillio ar y Sabbath. Bore Sadwrn diweddaf bu damwain ar ffordd haiarn y Cambrian ger Tylwch. Hhcdodd un tren i'r Hall a lladdwyd nierch ieuanc o'r enw Margaret Rowlands ac anafwyd chwech o bersonau yn ddrwg. Ofnir streic fawr eto yn y Dc. Rhoddwyd rhybuddion allan sydd yn effeithio ar 20,000 o wyr. Hawlir ychwanegiad cyflog yn Mynwy, Merthyr, Dowlais, Tredegar, Blaenafon, a'r cytfiniau, gan beirianwyr, tanwyr, a'r cyffelvb.

Tywyll yw y rhagolygon; ond dywedodd Mabon wrihym dydd Llun yn Aber- ystwyth ei fod yn credu y ueuai pobpeth i'w le yn hcddychol. Nid aur, pobpeth melyn, ac nid buddugoliaeth pob goruchafiaeth. Y mae America yn dechreu sobri eto o'i blys milwrol, ac y mae y wlad yn codi ei llais yn groeyw yn erbyn parhau y rhyfel a'r Filipinos. Dywcdir fod amcan cyntaf y rbyfel wedi myn'd yn llwyr o'r golwg, ac fod byddin America yn ceisio gorehfygu a difa y Filipinos yn lie eu rhyddhau; ac yn herwydd hyn y mae y Werin yn America yn galw ar yr Arlywydd i roddi tcrfyn ar y brwydro. Dywedir hanesyn da am Kilsby. Yr oedd yn pregethu un prydnawn trymllyc1 mewn capel yn Sir Abertefi, ac o un i un gwelai'r bobl yn dechreu nodio. Safodd yn svn am foment, yna ebai, Feallai na chredwch ciii mona i, ond yr oedd gan fy nhad unwaith focli a chyrn ar eu penau." Dyna'r penau yn codi, a phob llygad am y cyntaf yn sirioli yn ei wyneb. Safodd y pregethwr am enyd fer, yna torodd allan, Dyna chi, pan ddeuda i gelwydd wrthach chi, yr ydych yn effro ddigon: end pan y pregethaf y gwirionedd, dyma cill"ll cysgu." DREYFUS. Dydd Sabbath diweddaf, ymgyfarfyddodd tua 50,000 o bobl yn Hyde Park, Llundain, er rhoddi datganiad i'w teamladau ar y earuwri. y mae Dreyfus wedi dderbyn yn Llys Milwrol y Ffrancod. Traddodwyd areithiau gryrnus yn erbyn y ddedfryd anheg, ac anogai y siaradwyr ar i'r cynulliad mawr hwaiw o Lundeinwyr roddi cu teimladau mewn gweithrcdiad trwy beidao ymgyfathraehl1 ;Vr Ffrancod a cliadw draw ac atal pob cynorthwy i'r Arddangosfa fawr sydd i fod yn Paris y flwyddyn nesaf. Y mae amiyw o fasnachwyr yn y wlad hon eisoes wedi penderfynu peidio anfon dim i'r Ar- ddangosfa. Y mae teimlad cyffelyb hefyd yn ffynu yn ngwledydd ereill Ewrop a'r America. Y mae llawer, fodd bynag, yn barnu na ddaw un daioni o'r mudiad hwn, ac mai annoeth ydyw dangos teimlad o'r fath, gan y bydd i'r diniwed hefyd ddioddef trwy y fath ymataliad. Credir yn gryf yn Paris y bydd i'r Arlywydd Loubet estyn maddcnant i Dreyfus, a'i ollwng yn rhydd. Dywed yr Uch-gadben Carriere, yr hwn oedd yn erlyn y carcharor yn y llys milwrol yn Rennes, fod y maddeuant yn beth sicr. Dywed un gohebydd Gellweh fod yn hollol barod i glvwecl fod yr Arlywydd wedi arwyddo maddeuant i Dreyfus. Nid yw y datganiad ffurfiol yrna end mater o ychydig ddyddiau. ARDDANGOSFA GYMREIG ABERYSTWYTH. Bydd yn dra derbyniol, yr ydym yn sicr, gan wehyddion Sir Aberteifi glywed syniadau un o feirniairl yr Arddangosfa, set' Mr. M. T. Morris, y Nelson Emporium, Cnernarfon, ar raiagaweddau ar y fasnach, a anfonodd mewn llythyr at yr Ysgrjfpnydd. lIae Mr, .Morris yn foneddwr o brofiad helaeth, ac y mae ei Iwyddiant masnachol ef ei hun yn ddigon dros i ni gredu y gwyr ef gryn lawer yn nghlych anghenion y fasnach frethyn yn Ngliyinru y dvddiau hyn. Dyma ei eiriau-- Gwelais ddigon yn ystod fy ymweliad ei bod yn llwyddiant perffaith fel Arddangosfa. Synais lawer fod Siroedd Caerfyrddin ac Aberteifi yn gallu dangos cymaint mewn nwyddau Cvmreig, a gallaf yn ddibetrus ddweyd eu bod yn gyfrywa ddcil eu cvdniaru ag unrlivw nwvddau o'r fath a droir allan o un rhan o Gymru. Y mae'n wir fod lie iddynt ddiwygio, yn enwedig mewn arddull a gorpheniad, fel ag i gyfarfod a'r teimlad sy'n bodoli o'r galwadau mwy mynych am nwyddau mwy rhywiog (finer quality). Mae lie i ofni ein bod fel couedl yn colli golwg ar hyn, a'n bod ni trwy hyny yn colli llawer o'n masnach trwy fod v Saeson a chenhedloedd ereill yn myned yn fwy gyda'r ocs ac yn paratoi eu nwyddau i gyfarfod ag anghenion yr oes. Pa fodd bynag, y mae yn dda genyf welcd fod cynydd wedi ei wneyd y blynyddau diweddaf yn y eyfeiriad yma, end "eto y mae lie." Yr oeddych wedi gadael allan un adran bwysig, set gwlaneni lliwiau at grysau uchaf meibion." Y tro nesaf gofalwch am hyn (dau ddosbarth, cofiwch, rhai at grysau gweithwyr a boneddigion). Hefyd jacedi gwau i feibion (Cardigan Jackets)* Yr wyf yn methu gweled nad ellir gwneyd y rhai hyn yn gystal a hosanau. Y mae masnach fawr iawn yn cael ei gwneyd yn yr adran yma hefyd. Y mae gan y gwehyddion a gwneuthurwyr brethynau lawer iawn o le i ddiwygio mewn arddull a gorpheniad. Nid oedd yr adran yma mor dda ag y earasem lddi rod. Kliaid gwneyd y brethynau Cymreig yn fwy prydferth a deniadol i'r prynwyr. Gellir gwneyd hyn heb golli dim o'n Cymreigeiddwch. Y mae y sylwadau ucliod llawn mor briodol ar ddefnyddiau dresses i ferched, shawls, &c. Dylech hefyd gynyg gwobr am y knitted singlet oreu. Yn awr am dani, wehyddion Sir Aberteifi a Sir Gar. Na fyddwn foddlon nes bydd Ymherawdr China a'i siaced a'i glos a'i sannau wedi dyfod o wlad y menyg gwynion.
