Under the Tuber- culosa regulations there were 22 notifications. PAUPER PATIENTS.—A letter was redort at the Health Committee from the Merthyr Board of Guardians suggesting that they should contri- bute so much per week for the maintenance of each pauper patient admitted to the Isolation Hospital of Gelligcar. The committee recom- mended the Guardians to consider that in future th y should pay one penny per head of the popu- lation on the last census as being a more satisfac- t. ry arrangement. PLANS.—Amongst the plans passed for approval by the Health Committee were an amended plan for a Lodging-house at Ystradmvaach,—additions to a workshop at Bargoed, for Mr E. Harding,— four houses at Plasnewydd-str-^t, Bargoed, for Mr J. Harris,—iron cottage, at Cvvmrallt, for Mr J Parsons, and a stable at the re ar of 12, School- street, Brithdir, for Mr J. Sprague. "j SHOP HOURS ACT.—Mr Gus Jones, referring to the resolution dealing with the Shop Hours' Act, a,,I,cecl whether a majority of the hairdressers had v. fed in favour of the hours proposed to he put in force by the Council. —The Clerk said that the Act had been sent up to the Government Depart- moat, and no doubt they would ask whether there was a majority for one independent trade, or a majority of the whole The matter would come up at a later meeting. GWAELODYBKITHDIK CEMETERY.—Mr W. H:vn mond raised the question of the amount of money required for the construction of the Gwaelody- brithdir Cemetery. The Council had applied and was granted a loan of = £ 3,700 for this work, whereas the contract After some discussion he moved that application be made for an increased loan. SCAVENGING AT GROESFAKN.—Mr W. J. Gil s drew attention to the Medical Officer's report re- garding the scavenging of Groesfaen houses Dr. Thomas stated that the gradient was so steep on the last four houses that it would he almost impossible to construct a back lane. Toe people appreciated the difficulty and did not object to the refuse being brought through the houses pro- vided the scavenger came at a stipulated time Mr Morgan Jones said that as the Health Authority they objected.—It was decided to write to Mr Rutherford on the matter of the hack lane. WATER AT TROEDYRHIWFUWCH.—Mr W. Ham- mond drew attention :to some houses at Troedy- rhiwfuwch where the water supply was not put on. He had spoken or the matter six or seven years ago and still the people were inconveni- enced. He moved, and Mr J. Morgan seconded, I that the Surveyor proceed to connect up the houses, and summon the owner to defny the co-t. ROAD METAL —Referring to an item of £1700 for the maintenance of roads in the estimate for the ensuing half-year, Mr Gus Jones drew atten- tion to the apparently soft metal used on the roads in the main street of Bargoed,—The Sur- veyor agreed that it was soft, but the Council with the acceptance of the tenders had chosen this particular stone for Bargoed.—Mr Gus Jones Then it is a great pity that such a stone should be used on a road where there is so much traffic. The mud is more on Hanbury-road now than before the stone was put on.—Mr Jlu • -an Jones Send that stone to Yatradmynach later. RHYMNEY RAILWAY BILL-Ir Morgan Jones re ferred to a report which he had seen in the j Pre-;s that the Rhymney Railway Bill was now I unopposed, and asked the Clerk's opinion on the matter.—The Clerk replied that after the oppo- sition by the Council the Railway Company decided to withdraw all the; claused relating to GeHigaer, and consequently left them with no 1¡IOt'uS standi to OPPO¡.-l\r M.?'?.m Jones This Council have certain gnev: t'CU; against this company, and I move that our Member in Parlia- ment be asked to immediately take action to block this Bill until we get what we dcaire.—The Clerk said that such a course had been adopted very successfully at Mountain Ash.—Mr J. Jones seconded the motion, which was adopted. POLLUTION OF THE RIVER.—A letter was read from the Glamorgan County Council drawing attention to the pollution of the river by the effluent from the Council's filter beds at Giifach.—The Surveyor pre- sented a special report upon the matter, which pointed out that the cost to remedy the matter would b. about £ 1,(500, which expenditure, in view of the near approach of the mam sewer, was not justified.—Mr E. Richards moved that a copy of the Surveyor's report be forwarded to the County Council. This was agreed to. PONTLOTTYN HOUSING SCHEME.—A letter was read from Messrs Gwilym, James, Charles, and Davies, Mcrthyr, on behali of the Rhymnay Iron Co. declining to accept the £ L0 offered by the Council for the surrender of their iuterest in the plot of land desired by the Council for the building of cottages at Pontlottyn, and asking for = £ 205, which would include Lord Bute's interest.—The Clerk suggested that rather than pay this amount they allow the Local Government Board inquiry to proceed. It seemed to him a most ridiculous way to arrive at a settlement, when Lord Bute aud the Company ha:l only a few years to run be- fore the land would fall back to the owners, the Han- bury Estate.—Mr Morgan Jones And this offer comes from the solicitors to the Company who said they would put no barrier in the way for the erection of the houses.—Mr Bell Hughes pointed out that the Medical Officer was about to condemn a number of houses at Pontlottyu and there were no houses for the people to move into.—Ou the motion of Mr Gus Jones the mat- ter was referred to the Housing Committee. TENDERS.—The tcuder of Mr A. K. Williams, Gil- fachfargoed Fach Farm was accepted for the supply of milk and eggs to the Cottage Hospital, and that ot Mr E. Watkins, Bargoed, for meat.

RUGBY FOOTBALL. I CROSS KEYS LOSE THE CHAMPIONSHIP. RHYMNEY'S DEFEAT AVENGED. I lor the second week in succession the Rhymney Rugby Club have avenged the big scores piled up against them earlier in the season when they could only field a weak side. At Risca the homo side put on 29 points against Rhymy, but when the return match was played on the Esteddfo 1 Field, Rhymney regained their league points by coming out winners by one try to nil. They had. however a far greater thing to wipe off the slaf" in the case of Cross Keys. When Rhymney visi- ted that place, the then home team, put up a merciless score of 56 points to nil. Such a terrible whacking al ways loomed in the eyes of tla- Rhymney men, and they cherished up visions of being avenged. The opportunity came on Satur- day. The losing or the game was an all import- ant matter to Cross Keys, as the result of the gune would decide whether they or Pill liarriei s v.re to be the champions of the Monmouthshire Senior League. In consequence of the groun 1 being occupied by lbe Soccerites, wben Rhymney deteilted Canton by 4 goals to nil, a late start was made. The visitors at once got upon the attack. It was appaient that Rhymney were all out to win, and through Hennessey, Hammond, and George Morgan, set up a stubborn defence. Aft r a long struggle, however, Benson crossed ov r with a try. which George Bacon failed to convei *v Rentrnore then made a fine effort to drop a goal. The Rhymney backs kept the forwards well on the attack, but the interval came with Cross Keys leading by three points to nil. With the wind in their favour Rbymney now had greater advantages for attacking and kept their opponents penned to their three-quarter line. Llew Davies made a mark in a favourable position, but punted the ball, which if placed, would have bad a splendid chance for goal. The game waged from one touch line to the other, the visitors being unable to break through the attack until Winmill beaded a rush, and being well backed, relieved the tension to the half way line. The Rhymney men were playing a brilliant game 1'here was not a shirker in any department. 1L V. Jones was inunly responsible for the home side renewing the attack, and after repeated attemp s to cross, Jenkins picked up the ball and scored a remarkably pretty goal amidst the wildest enth- siasm. The visitors with the kick out made a determined onslaught, on the Rhymney lines, hub again the faultless defence was too good. A free to Cross Keys gave Bacon a splendid opportunity to get a lead, but the bail fell short. Vigorous play followed. One of the Cross Keys forwards was seen deliberately kicking George Morgan wheu on the ground The Rhymney player jumped to his feet and resented such treatment, but the referee interceded and cautioned the offending player. The game was now waged only five yards from the goal line, where it was kept for fully ten minutes, Rhymney playing the game of their lives, and were as one stone wall. The referee even gave the Cross Keys men the advan- tage of an extra few minutes play when in this position, but they failed to score. The end came leaving Rhymney to join Pontypool and Newport as the only teatrs that have beaten Cross Keys this season, and accomplishing what Llanelly failed to do. Rhymney deserved the win. They set themselves out for that purpose and accom- plished their ends. Jenkimi, the hero of the game, was carried shoulder high off the field. Final score: Rhymney, 4 points; Cross Keys, 1 try, 3 points.

ç1rL" ¡"I' c, ('\ I.l)" i")l":{"lI I SVFFkAu ijTi'iuo CAPTURE COUNCIL CHAMBER. A strong force of suffragettes invaded Pop- lar Borough Council Chamber on Thursday night after the Council had referred to a com- mittee the question of letting the Council's halls to suffragettes. The women threw evil- smelling substances, bags of flour, and other missiles and engaged the councillors in con- flict, using chairs and life-preservers. The police were sent for, but they refused to enter. The majority of the councillors retired in dis- order before the onslaught of the women, and I though they returned later the suffragettes continued to hold possession of the chamber.

BARGOED TICKET COLLECTOR IN TROUBLE. At the Bargoed Police Court, on Friday, Stanley Abbott (21), porter, Bargood, was charged with embez. zling and stealing the sum of Is. lid. on 13th March. Mr Musgrave, of Cardiff, prosecuted on behalf of the Rhymney Railway Co. In reply to the charge, defend- ant said he did not remember taking the money. John Hall Williams. of Llanishen, and a clerk in the employ of the Rhymney Railway, said that on the day men- tioned he travelled with a free pass from Cardiff to Caerphilly, but did not alight at the latter place, but went on to Bargoed and paid the excess fair, 10d., to the defendant, but received no receipt for it. Ho arrived at Bargoed about 2.35. GeorgelGnrdiner said he was a commercial traveller. On the day mentioned he travelled with a ticket from Caerphilly to Hengoed but instead of getting out at the latter place went on to Bargoed, and paid to the defendant the excess fare of atd., but received no receipt for it and did not ask for one. Inspector Joseph Hughes said that on the 13th March he accompauied the last two witnesses, and as they bad not tickets to Bargoed he told them to pay the ticket collector the excess. On alighting at Bar- goed he saw the previous witnesses hand the money to the defendant, and also that no receipt was given by the defendant for the amounts he received. He also saw the defendant, after the passengers had left the platform, count the money in his hand and place the two tickets and the money in his trousers pocket. Defendant: Are we supplied with a receipt book? Witness Yes, and you know it. Defendant Siuce when P Witness For years. Ivor rpes, clerk on the Rhymney Railway, at Bargoed, produced the excess fare book, and said that the book was not in the possession of any particular person but was kept in the Porter's Room on the down plat- form, and the ticket collector would have to cross the line to get the book. There was one book only, and it was used l'y all, and in it there was no entry for the 13th or 14th March for the two amounts of lOd, and 8d, At about 2.30 it was the clerk's duty to go through the excess fare book and then collect the amounts due from those who had taken the money. In this way the sum which defendant had received, if it had been entered, would have beeu collected the follow- ing day. Wm. C. Parrish, stationmaster at Bargoed, said that very few passengers asked for receipts for excess fares bat the book of receipts was accessible to all. He had been with the defendant to the Manager's Office on the 18th, and defendant had admitted that he Lad received 31J, and was positive that he had accoun- ted for it in the excess book, but no entry of it could be found. Thomas Edwards, another clerk, in giving corroborative evidence of the excess book said, in reply to the Clerk, that it sometimes happened that two traius, one up and another down, were in the station at the same time. In reply ;to the charge, defendant said that the matter had slipped his memory. The Bench dismissed the case under the First Offenders' Act, and ordered the defendant to pay the costs. The Chairman also recommended the Railway Company to have a supply of books on both sides of the platform. Inspector Hughes said that this had, since this incident, been resolved upon by the Railway Company.

THE USEFULNESS OF PIT-HEAD I BATHS. MR HENRY DAVIES AT BA.RGOED. I OIL Friday evening, Mr Henry Davies, the well. known director of mining for the Glamorgan County Council, delivered a most instructive ad- dress on "Pit-head Baths," at Bargoed. The meeting was ably presided over by the Rev. D. Leyshon Evans, C.C. Mr Davies said that just now, when this subject was taking a firm hold of the right people and baths were being erected at different collieries, with prospects of many more being erected in the immediate future, it would be well to take a retrospective glauce at the situ- ation lest converts in their enthusiasm might for- get the work done by pioneers Over 20 years ,¡"o Mr E. M, Hann, of the Powell Duffryn Company, offered to place a complete equipment of baths at the disposal of the workmen engaged at one of the Powell Duffryn Collieries. This was, as far as Air D lvics Knew, the first attempt to establish barbs for miners at the pit-head in the South Wrves coalfield. More than ten years ago the South Wales Daily News" earnestly took up the subject in its columns, and had continued ever since to strenuously advocate the introduction of batbsc,, iid housing reform. During that time, and especially recently, other journals bad also taken up the subject; but it was only fair to the above men- tioned "daily" to express one's indebtedness to that newspaper for its advocacy not only of this particular phase of the work which had to do w th the uplifting of the miner, but with other special features of social progress as well. The third parties who came on the scene were the students of the Glamorgan County Council, who had received opportunities of examining these baths and their effect on the Continent, and who had continued to press forward the need of these baths, so convinced were they that the introduc- tion of the baths would be an immense advantage to the miner and his family (Applause). Whilst on this question of pioneer work in the coalfield it would also be well to take a look round in other directions and take their bearings. Everyone was well acquainted now with the dangers arising from the presence of coal dust in mines, but they should not forget the pioneer and research work done by Dr. Wm. Galloway in this direction. His experiments proved conclusively the dangers when others slept. Many had come in since and reaped where Dr. Galloway had sown. (Hear, hear.) Again, they all knew he danger from after-damp following explosions, ,nd they knew how many lost their lives owing to this dangerous gas, and they should not forget that connected with the name of Dr. Haldane in rssearch work was that of Dr. T. H. Morris, of Tylorstown, who was acknowledged for his excel- work in the Government Blue Books. (Hear, bear.) Recently the work done by Drs. Haldune and Morris had been followed by Dr. Dan Thomas, of Bargoed, and Dr. Ivor Davies, of Car- diff. Again, in regard to rescue stations and rescue brigades, they would find that Loid Merthyr and Mr E. M. Hann were deeply in- terested in this subject and the proposal to estab- lish rescue brigades and rescue stations long before they were made compulsory by Act of Parliament. A NOVEL SUGGESTION. I would like (said iNIr Davies), if it were possible, to establish an annual stop-day on each side, and that employers and employees on such days should apply themselves to pointing out each other's faults and deficiencies and good points. The workmen should emphasise and nuke known what they consider the main characteris- of a model employer who would win and obtain the best from workmen; and employers, on the other side, should make widely known the leading qualities which they wish to- encourage in work- men. Possibly the workmen will say that they will have to travel very far to find model employers; but they themselves are employers, and they should start by inquiring of themselves as to whether or not they are model employers. I do not wish to establish a mutual admiration society, but I do believe that to safeguard the in- dustries of this country both sides should devote a few moments at least annually to see the best points on tbo other side. (Applause.) Mr Walter Lewis (miners' agent) and Council- lor Morgan Jones also spoke.

I CONFII)ESEYS £ 1,000. SEARCH FOR TWO TRICKSTERS. I Two confidence tricksters on Saturday suc- ceeded in robbing Mr. 0. Hooey, staying at the Hotel Russell, London, of a large sum of money, including £ 264 in dollar bills, twenty £ o notes, a gold watch, a gold chain, a sove- reign purse containing £ 5, and two gold rings set with diamonds. The two men are now being sought by the police. One, who gave the name of Raymond Clifford, is thirty years old, 5ft. 7in. high, clean shaven, with fair complexion and hair. The other, who gave the name of Pat O'Gor- mon, is twenty-eight years old. 5ft. 6in. hiC\h, with ruckly complexion, fair hair, and stubbly moustache. These descriptions apply to two men "wanted" by the police for a number of confidence tricks, resulting in gains of over P-1,000 during the last three months.

COMPANY DIRECTOR CHARGED. ALLEGED FRAUDS ON TRADESMEN. Horace George Thornton, company direc- tor, of Warrington-cresc-ent, Maida Vale, was remanded at Marlborough-street Police-court on Saturday on a charge of stealing by means of a trick a blouse and a quantity of ladies' underclothing of the value of £15 4s., the pro- perty of the White House Linen Specialists, Limited, New Bond-street; further with steal- ing two and a-half dozen towels, eleven lace cloths, and a quantity of bed linen worth £ 7 18s., belonging to William Coulson and Sons. New Bond-street. It was stated that the case would turn out to be one of some magnitude, as it was alleged that no fewer than twenty firms had been defrauded. The modus operandi of the accused was, according to the prosecution, to call on tradesmen and order goods, saying that they would be paid for on delivery. When they were delivered at the addresses given they were detained, but not paid for.

ROMAN PAVEMENT UNEARTHED. I INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT I GLOUCESTER. I A Roman pavement has been discovered In the course of excavations for the foundations of new premises in Northgate-street, Glou cester. The pavement, which was found about Oft. below the surface, is 161ft. square. The president of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society (Canon W. Bazeley) has declared it to be one of the finest pieces of Roman pavement in this country for size, richness of colouring, and excellence of pre- servation. With the exception of a corner which appeared to have been destroyed many years ago for the purpose of installing a smelting furnace the pattern of the pavement, says the Bin/l illrJlwm Pod. has only been de- says tlie B  'w /?/ffM! 7'?- faced in a few small patches. The pavement is pronounced to be the work of the second or the third century, for the reason that it bears the stamp of the highest perfection, in this particular form of art, which marked a decline in the fourth century. The pattern is worked in mosaic, blue lias, white flint, and red brick being used, and the colouring, especially the rose-red tones, are stated to excel even those in the famous vvoodchester pavement. ihere is a wde border comprising five lines of alternate biue and white stones, each band being six stones wide. Inside this is a rope-work border in three colours, and the centre is made up of a large variety of geometrical designs in varied angular frames. Upon the pavement were found some pieces of the walls of a Roman villa, which still re- tain the original colourings of green, red, and white plaster facings. A large quantity of human bones have also been dug out near the site of the discovery. Printed and Published by G. J.

Mr. GEO. R. 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 malt is well preserved and brought out by combination with the products of fermentation. It is 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 cen t. 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 l per cent. that in meat. A glass 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."
