"PEARL, THE FISHER MAIDEN." AT RHYMNEY. The second performance of the interest- ing operetta, Pearl, the Fisher Maiden," by the Tabernacle Choir (under the able leadership of Mr W. George Brown) at the Victoria Hall,, on Wednesday night, as briefly reported in our last issue was, if anything, of a higher order than the first production and went off without a hitch. Councillor W. T. Hopkin, who is ever ready to assist in any worthy movement in the town was the chairman, and discharged his duties most efficiently. With regard to the artistes, we dealt with Lorenzo" (Mr Arthur L. Thomas, Cardiff) and "Pearl" (Miss Marion Thomas) last week, and having regard to the deep impression which the other principals made in what is popularly regarded as a brilliant production it is but fitting that a brief reference should be made in this issue. Mr Ben Morris as King Alphonso could not well be improved upon. As the title" suggests he had no insignificant part to play, but Mr Morris is no stranger to the stage, having figured prominently as an elocutionist in local entertainments for some years. His elocution on this occasion was all that could be desired. Mr George Jones, another familiar vocalist, whose ser- vices are always appreciated by the local public, as "Daddy Whelk" was a typical Fisherman, and performed his part admir- ably, whilst as Mistress Whelk Miss May Thomas (Ep-arorth Villa) achieved a great success. Few artistes could have acquitted themselves in a more graceful manner than Miss Thomas did in last week's performances. Her coolness, even at a most eracting period being most signifi- cant. Messrs Lewis J. Evans as Pet- ruach Willie Joseph as Limerickius (King's Jester) Daniel Brown as "Lord Chancellor"; Tom Hoddinnott as Messen- ger and Messrs Fred Richards, Arthur Thomas, and David E. Jones, as Guards all fulfilled their respective parts most merit- oriously. Valuable assistance was also given by Mr W. Williams in the stage arrangements, where his great experience was of much service. Mr Tom Jones, B.A., in the Scarf and other dances, and in the staging of the piece likewise rendered sig- nal service, and the committee are grateful to all friends who assisted in the successful production of the operetta, not omitting the efficient accompanists, Misses Annie Thomas (Gwalia House) who made her first appear- ance in public; Miss Annie R. Jones and Mr R. Benjamin. We understand that the choir intend re-producing Pearl, the Fisher Maiden at Tredegar, New Trede. gar, Abertysswg and Brynmawr in the near future.

I BARGOED POLICE COURT, FRIDAY.—Before Mr C. E. Forestir Walker (chairman) and Dr. Dan Thomas. RETURN TO REFOE-11ATORY.- Philip Nettleton, (19), collier, Pengam, who pleaded guilty to stealing an overcoat, watch and chain, the pro- perty of Wra. Hatch Pengam, on the 16th Feb- ruary, and on expressing his willingness to be placed in the charge of the superintendent of a reformatory at Gloucester, who was present, was discharged. THE USUALS.—The following were charged with drunkenness aud fined, James Jenkins) (47), collier, 19s.; John Haynes, (50), labourer, Bar- goed, two charges on different dates, viz., 11th and 15th Marcia, 10s. iD each case: Thomas Richards, (28), collier, Brithdir, 10a.; Richard Broome, (30), collier, Bargoed, 10s.; Thomas Richards, (46), collier, Bprgoid, 20s,; Thoma Lapping, (26), collier, Bargoed, 10s.; Peter Callan, (24), collier, Bargoed, and Albert Cnles, butcher, Nelson, 10.:3. each. Evan James, (3G), collier, Ystradmynach, and John Bower, (25), haulier, Gelligaer, 20s each. A NOVEL DEFENCE.—Walter Roberts, painter, Gilfach, was summoned on account of the in- sufficient attendance put in by his son at the Gilfach School. Th's ease had been adjourned on two occasions, the defence set up being that the boy was used to run errands for the jontracfcor who attended to repairs to the schools, and to carry and go up ladders on to the roof and repair chimneys, etc. The Attendance Officer stated that the boy had attended school ouly eight times out of a possible forty.—The boy went into the box and said that the contractor used him in the way stated and also to make putty and repair win- dows. In cross-examination by Mr J. Evans, the boy admitted that he had sometimes accompanied his father to work at Oakdale. Mr J. Evans pointed out that the circumstances alleged in the defence were not those which would be in accord- ance with the requirements of the Act and also that if [things were as alleged the matter could have been brought to the notice of Mr T. C- Jones, the schoolmaster. As a matter of fact the contractor bad other schools in the parish fo attend to and could only have been at Gilfach occasionally. A fine of 10s. and costs was imposed.

£ 10,000,000 FORT L NE. I GIRL OF THIRTEEN CHIEF LEGATEE. Cornelia Suiyvesaut Va .Lrbiit. the thir- teen-year-old daughter of C rorge W. Vander- bilt. is the chief bencfieir.y under his will. He left an estate of nearly £ 10,COO,000. The next legatee in importance is Mrs. Edith Stuyvesant Vanderbilt, the widow. During the daughter's minority her uncle, Mr. Wil- lian Vanderbilt, and her mother, as trustees, will allow her such income as they deem necessary. When she is twenty-one she will receive the surplus income, and 25 per cent, of the principal will be turned over to her absolutely. Despite his millions, Mr. G. W. Vanderbilt brought up his daughter not to regard money as the chief thing of life, the Daily Telegraph says. Mr. Vanderbilt was noted for his economy, and sought to instil the ideas of thrift into his daughter's mind. During most of the year the main part of the family man- sion was closed, and the family lived in bachelor quarters. It required more than forty servants to keep the great house in order, and Mr. Vanderbilt regarded such expenditure as a waste of money. He reduced the num- ber to ten, did without a valet, and took the duties of forester on 300,000 acres of land "Icn his forester resigned. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who was Miss Edith Stuyvesant Dresser, shared her husband's thrifty ideas. When a large party of friends were at the hunting loel;e at Pisgah Ridge, and the servants failed to appear as arranged, Mrs. Vanderbilt rolled up her sleeves and performed the humble ser- vice of maid-of-all-work.

ALIENS IN AMERICA, I STORIES OF EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. Strong light is thrown on the manner in which non-English immigrants are swindled right and left on their arrival in the United States in a report which has just been com- pleted by the New Jersey Immigration Com- mission, says the New York correspondent of the Standard. Advantage, it appears, is taken of the unfortunate newcomers to a strange land, not merely by cabmen and por- ters and hotel" keepers, but by men who ought to have a higher sense of their respon- sibilities. Few of the alien immigrants arriving in New Jersey speak English, and consequently it is comparatively easy to give them wrong change or take them to the wrong place. One instance of colossal exorbitance is given: A cabman who took two new arrivals from pier to station actually charged his fares £ 12 for the trip. Again, immigrants who have paid with their tickets for board and lodging at one hotel are said frequently to be taken to an- other, where they have to pay over again, their tickets and baggage being withheld until thev do; or they are kept a day or so at some boarding-house on the pretence that no train leaves for their destination till the next day. LOSSES THROUGH PRIVATE BANKERS. Again, at least £ 40,(KM) was lost by lITlffil- I grants in 1911 through the operations of private bankers, while the amount lost through unauthorised bankers is not known, but must also be large. As the post-offices and duly" -authorised banks are not open on Sundays and in the evenings, the only times when the immigrant is not working, one or more in each group or aliens -otten mti as banker for the others; he receives deposits, transmits money, runs a post-office and steamship agency; and in the end probably runs away The consequence ie that immi- grants living in New Jersey send £ 2,00fs 000 abroad each ye a r. partly because they do not know how to find safe investments in the State for their savings. LAND SHARKS' PICKINGS. I It also appears that "land sharks" have. had their picking* of the immigrants' little all. Documents of every variety have been made out and executed by people who had no power to do 'so. It is stated that some notaries in the State made out powers of at- torney without the slightest proof of the identity of the person appearing before them. An immigrant who has inherited a little property in Europe sometimes finds, on try- ing to sell it. that it has been sold already. Someone who has heard of his good fortune has got a ponver of attorney in his name from a complaisant notary, -sold the property, and pocketed the proceeds. I NIGHT SCHOOLS WANTED. .1. ?, I- 1 In many communities no nignt scnoois are provided for immigrants who want to learn English. The result is that it is almost im- possible for the alien to adapt himself to American standards. He cannot understand orders at work or explanations in shops if he opens a shop himself customers do not under- stand him. He cannot get American concep- tions of life from American newspapers, and cannot become a citizen. The common schools do not meet the linguistic needs of the alien, as 90 per cent. of immigrants are above the school age. I LACK OF ORGANISATION. As the result of the lack of systemisrtion in dealing with the problem of the new arrival immigrant farm hands are congesting the in- dustrial centres, while the States farmers are crying out for aid. Over 12,000 of the aliens who settled in the State in 1911 were farm labourers, yet practically none of them got out on the land; in the meantime, the amount of land under cultivation was decreasing.

WEIGHING PAPE 11 WITH GOODS. I SELECT COMMITTEE TO INQUIRE I INTO PRACTICE. It is understood that the Government are about to appoint a Select Committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the ques- tion of the sale of goods by short weight. Except in the case of coal and one or two other articles it is not an offence under the Weights and Measures Acts to supply short weight of the actual commodity sold, provided that with the paper, &c., in which it is made up, the package registers full weight. For many years there has been an agitation to amend the law in this respect, mainly be- cause it has been found that some traders, taking undue advantage of the absence of regulations, use loaded papers, and so defraud the public. The remedy suggested is to make applicable to a specified list of goods the pro- | visions which now regulate the sale of coal, and to amend the Weights and Measures Acts so as to make it an offence to sell such goods except by net weight. The general tendency among grocers is to use wrappers and bags made of as light mate- rial as possible, and this policy has long been urged by their organisations. Cases have been detected by local authorities, however, which show that there are exceptions to this rule, and these will be brought to the notice of the select committee, which will also hear the opinions of the grocers, who claim that the margin of profit on many articles of food is fco email that they are obliged to weigh the paper.

WOMAN IN MAN'S CLOTHES. SUFFRAGIST'S ARREST IN HOUSE OF I PARLIAMENT. Miss Catherine Wilson, who was found in the House of Commons on Monday evening, dressed in male clothing, was sentenced at Bow-street Police-court on Tuesday to six weeks' hard labour as a suspected person. The defendant appeared in the dock dressed in a dark grey overcoat, trousers, and brown boots. Mr. Knight, who appeared for the prosecu- tion, said that in addition to the charge pre- ferred the defendant had that morning been charged with being on enclosed premises for an unlawful purpose. On Monday evenin g she entered the central lobby, and sat on a seat outside the Attorney-General's office. Though dressed as a man, and wearing a man's wig, a constable suspected that she was a woman, and arrested her. As he seized hold of her arm he felt something in the sleeve of the coat, and on examination found a riding whip concealed there. When charged at the police-station she remarked, If I had carried out my purpose they would have got it hot. The Magistrate asked the defendant if she had anything to say. She replied, Only that I went there to give either Asquith or McKenna a good thrashing if I gof the chance," The Magistrate: The sentence is six weeks' hard labour. Defendant: Of course I shall not do i4

ALCOHOL AS MOTOR FUEL. I The Imperial Motor Transport Council has appointed an alcohol motor-fuel committee, under the chairmanship of the Hon. A. Stan- ley, M.P. (Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club), to investigate the possibility of using alcohol as a substitute for petrol. The ques- tions to be solved include the utilisation of alcohol both for industrial and agricultural engines of medium or low speed type, and for high-speed internal combustion engines.

THEATRE DESTROYED BY FIRE. I The Grand Theatre, Chorley, a wooden structure, was gutted by fire on Tuesday morning, damage to the extent of Y,,5,000 being done. Messrs. Barrett and Borge's pantomime company lost the wholo of their properties.

FALL OF 1,200 FEET. I A terrible fatality, occurred on Tuesday at No. 4. Pretoria Pit. Hulton Colliery. A banksman named John Hatton was engaged ill fixing a gate at the pit mouth, when it is suppo«'. d i.hnt he lost his balance in the gale, and fell down the shaft, a distance of 400 yards.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL I MERTHYR TOWN 8 RHYMNEY 0. I A MERCILESS ONSLAUGHT. A score of 8 goals to nil is by no means a criterion that Rhymney was a badly beaten team in their game against the more formidable opponents of Mf rthyr Town. They were opposed not by the Mrt-thyr Seconds who are generally engaged in the first division of the Welsh League matches, but, Khymney who as yet have not risen above the second division of the Welsh League had to face a full complement of the Southern League team players. It was comparatively a meeting between the lion and the mouse and although all sorts of rumours were in circulation that the mouse would be annihilated, it was proved that the mouse could at least tickle the lion and cause him consider- able annoyance and even disappointment. It had been pre-arranged that Lawrencc should take the pi ice of Tattam at inside left, but for some reason this did not come off, and the man who was first introduced to Wales by Rhymney partnered Taylor. The game was the last act in the transfer of that player from Rhymney to Merthyr, being part of the agreement entered into. Merthyr brought a strong contingent with them and these being augmented by a very large crowd from Rhymney and district there was a record attendance on the ground when Mr R. Ruth, rford, J.P., the popular general manager, kicked off. He was accorded a rousing reception on doing so. The teams facing each other at this time were:— Merthyr: Goal, Gates backs, McCorma, Russell; half-backs, Craig, Miller, Churchill; forwards, Holt, Coats, Cartwright, Tattum and Taylor. Rhymney: Goal, Kerton; backs, Jacky Jones. Hill; half-backs, Stone, Lloyd, Legge; forwards, Jones, Tongue, Holt, Magness and Cresswell. Referee Mr E. J. Morgan, Rhymney. Rhymney having lost the toss had to play against the sun and at once got upon the aggressive, and Cart- wright had to concede a corner. Lloyd headed into Gate's hands and he cleared in a splendid manner. Coats, continuing the send out, headed a rush and the Rhymney lines were in danger, Tattum putting in a tricky shot, the ball, however, went over the bar. From the kick out play did not get far beyond the half way line when Merthyr renewed their pressing tactics and had three corners in quick succession. Although these shots were beautifully centred the defence of Rhymney was far too good, Lloyd, Stone, and Kerton being prominent in clearing. The defence of Rhymney against their more formidable opponents being remark- ably clever and well sustained. Kerton extricated from a difficult situation in a marvellous manner and Hill initiating some fine play culminated in Stone put- ting in a shot which Craig cleared. Coats was next in the picture with a stinging shot which Jacky Jones stopped. Tattum and Taylor next got on the run with short passes and after a succession of attempts Tattum beat Kerton with the first score of the game the home goalie at the time being at full length in front of his net. Having tasted blood Merthyr renewed their relentless attack upon the home lines. Watty Lloyd, Stone, and Hill were, however, playing a fast deter- mined game and constantly defeated Merthyr in their great ambition to score the predicted dozen goals. The tricky play of the visitors completely upset the calcu- lations of the Rhymney men and by a back kick from Coats, Magness was deceived and Cartwright shot into the net. Holt, Merthyr's outside left, having defeated Hill, the former put in a nice centre, and Kerton run- ning out to tackle Cartwright with a header, the ball slipped into his own net with the third goal. After Rhymney had paid a brief excursion to the Merthyr lines Tattum got away on his own and scored the fourth goal. Rhymney continued to play up well against the great odds which opposed them, Stone put. ting in some remarkably clever work; on one occasion he defeated Cartwright and doubled over Craig, then put in a shot which Russell, the ex-New Tredegar player had to concede a corner in clearing. At half- time Merthyr were leading by 4 goals to nil. Although Merthyr bad a lead of four goals they gave no quarter to the weaker side. Rhymney, however, played up in a marvellous manner. If it were possible that Rhymney players had the same advantages for getting into form as Merthyr had, it is questionable whether a score would have been made at all. Men coming home from the pit after a hard day's work there, are not to be compared to a team which is kept virtually from soiling their hands and in the tip-top form of training. When allowances are made for this disparity Rhymney played a remarkably fine game. The surprise of everybody was that Merthyr should have played a game equal to that against Cardiff City or Portsmouth. Possibly the fact of haviug scored two goals against Gillingham on Saturday made them over anxious to pile up the anticipated dozen against Rhymney. This, however, did not come off, although Holt, Taylor, Tattum, and Cartwright added to the list for Merthyr. Russell, who had now changed places with Gates as goalie bad plenty of work to do. Stone, Hill. Lloyd, and Tongue played a marvellous game, which must have made the Merthyr directors realise that bad Rhymney a few weeks training their second league team may be made to look somewhat small. Merthyr won the game by 8 goale to nil, but it was no credit to them.

INQUEST ON POISONED RECTOR. The Rpv. Charlfõs Wisley, Rector of Gros- monL fnnmouth. was found unconscious in bed by his housekeeper. He (lied soon after- wards. At an inquest on Friday it was stated that he had tak-r-n cyanide of potassium. The jury returned a verdk-t to this effect, adding that there was nothing to show whether it was taken accidentally or intentionally.

WATER SUPPLY OF NEW TREDEGAR. It was reported from a special meeting of the Bedwellty Council that the agree- ment for the supply of a minimum quantity of water at 250,000 gallons per day by the Rhymney and Aber Company hnd been approved of and that this service would commence on the 24th June next. At the same meeting a letter was read from the Local Government Board stating that they had had under consideration the report of their inspectors, Mr Bidwell and Dr. Macewen, after the inquiry which was recently held by them at New Tredegar. The Board regarded the source of supply at the Bedlwyn stream as liable to pollution, and they were not prepared to accept the scheme as a whole unless the Council wouli undertake to have the water protected from the springs to the intake of the main pipes. The Board also made a number of other proposals as to the construction of the reservoir, and advised the Council to appoint a qualified engineer to advise and carry out the work.—The Council decided to have tho springs protected as suggested and submitted the name of Mr J. Francis •Tupp, of Newport, as engineer to carry out the work during construction.

THOMPSON, Public Analyst for Monmouthshire, reports:- This is a very strong Ale, resembling the characters of the well-known Scotch Ales, and I am of opinion that such results could only be obtained from the use of Malt and Hops alone. The percentage of Malt Extract is remarkably high, and the refined flavour of true ra-dt is well preserved and brought i out by combination with the products of fermentation. It is 1 an exceedingly fine Ale, possessing almost the qualities of a cordial, recalling all the characteristics of the old-fashioned Home-Brewed Ales, with exceptional strength."

With a sympathy for temperance, but a scientific regard for fact, the Hospital" has conducted a special enquiry into beer, with the following results :— Beer contains half as much alchohol and twice as much nutri- ment as Wine. A cup of tea is 99 per cent. water, and the rest drugs. Home-made beef-tea (9d. a pint), is 96 per cent. water, and 2 per cent. nutriment. A glass of beer is 89 to 94 per cent. water, 2- to 6 per cent. alcohol, 1 to 5 per cent. Malt Sugar, 2 to 3 per cent. the nutriment in bread crust, and i per cent. that in meat. Afglass of good ale is as nourishing as one of milk. A quart of good beer equals nearly lIb of bread. It contains one sixth of the energy a working man needs daily." —Vi le The Daily Mail" (London)., Saturday, April 24th, 1900.
