They were lovely and pleasant in their nves, and in death they were not divided" —such is the epitaph that Cardiff, drop- pins: the tender and appropriate tpar, will write over the grave of her school board. Mr. Lewis WiMinms must have felt yes- terday like Othello, with his "occuptiou gone," and though ho received the encomiums he so richly merits, now that the hoard is dissolved he will find time hang heavy on his hands. The decent thing for the new authority to do would be to co-opt Mr. Williams at the nrst available moment. It will be hoaour- inp:, not him, but themselves. Mr. Wil- ]iams ha;; hatf hinted that ha would give his services if sought—not (of course) for his own aggrandisement, but because of the depp interest he lias ever taken in education and the welfare of the young. We hope to hear more on this point again, and that before long. There are rumours of fre.sh develop- ments in the world of foreign politics, j Russia is going to protest against our proceedings in Tibet, and the United States are protesting agaiiTst the ways of Russia on the sea. It is just as well that the two protests should come forward about the same time, and we cannot say we are altogether sorry to see America drawn into the arena. Whilst affronts oifered to Britain only excite platonic interests in the States, it is quite diffe- rent when their own shipping is con- cerned. On the other hand, we must not forget that Russia is in her slow, clumsy way trying to placate us, and we must not forget that in Russia each State department is absolutely independent of the rest, a condition of affairs that does not make for the prompt satisfaction of diniculties. We doubt whether Russia I will kick up much dust about Tibet. She has first to settle the Japanese, and that is a big business. Her wisest course (as some of her own newspapers admit) is to come to a full and frank understanding with England in the East. Mr. Cavendish Bentinck has written a letter in which he expresses his amaze at the poor display of British manufac- tures at the St. Louis Exhibition, and hopes that Parliament will demand a 'searching scrutiny of the methods of business which have led to such a slip- shod, ill-arranged, and incomplete collec- tion of products, which is humiliating to every British subject visiting St. Louis from either the Mother Country or from one of the Colonies." It is much to be regretted that the old country docs not get such a look in as Germany, France, and Japan. Considering we have all the work in the world to keep abreast of our rivals, connnon-sense suggests that we .ihould lose no opportunity of advertise- ment, especially when it occurs in con- nection with an affair on a scale so gigan- tic as the St. L&uis Show. We learn from the South Wales Jewi-.h Review'' that there is serious talk amongst a certain section of the com- munity at Cardiff of forming the basis of a Jewish Club during the coming winter season. Those who are moving in the matter have all the plans at their finger- ends cost of the building, likely revenue, (S-c. The nrst move they anticipate in this direction would be the amalgamation of the various Cardiff societies. But even this is not yet accomplished. The ''cloth," of all creeds, figured largely at the Park-hall yesterday after- noon, the reason being, of course, the per- formance of the Dream of Gerontius.) I Even to-day the great name of Newman is one to conjure with, and music by a master like Elgar wedded to the poesy of a prince of our English speech, as Newman was, would create intense inte- rest in any cultivated centre. Some- times these performances of great reli- gious compositions are not marked by any high degree of reverence; but yesterday was a notable exception to the rule. Mr. Ccates, in particular, seemed profoundly aifected by the pathos or the piece. THE ZYGOMATIO WRINKLE. I I [A deposition in connection with the I case of Adoif Beck adds interest to the discovery of what is called the zygomatic wrinkle, which is said to run atong the muscte of tha-t name in the cheek of certai!) crunmals. turning off abruptly under the jaw. One of M. Bertiiion's assistants m the Anthropcmetncat Department, questioned on the subject, states this mark. which resembles a scar, was very strong [y demicd on the face of Eyraud, and has been aiso noticed on the visage of recent murderers, j I'm filled -with curiosity. So pardon, please, my question; For though suspicious it may be I make no base suggestion. But. since Bertillon is about I'll ask you in a twinkle- Have you (and now the secret's out) A Zygoma.t-M Wrinkle? I gaze on your expansive brow And note its fine formation. There may. or not. be brain below, But that is its locution. I would not analyse the spot Nor dwell upon each crinkle- But tell me, reader, have you got A Zygomatic Wrinkle l Perhaps 'tis in your blooming cheek, Perhaps your chin 'tia under. Now do not, please, your vengeance wreak Nor look a<t me like thunder. Your character may blameless be Or yot with faults a-sprinkle; But still I'd dearly like to eee That Zygomatic Wrinkle! I like you very well, you know— You are a decent .fellow; But through the test you've got to go However you may yell-oh. For I can NOT associate (No rhyme I've left but tinkle) With one who be'ars beneath his pate A Zygomatic Wrinkle! IDRIS. Are marriages made In heaven or does Dan Cupid take his departure after the I parties have been wedded a number of I years ? This is a momentous question, i but we really feel bound to ask it after! reading what transpired before the Glou- cpster Guardians on Tuesday. The ques- tion of letting the old couples in the workhouse live together was considered, but, whilst some on being asked if they would like it replied yea, the majority said no! This sounds dreadfully un- romantie, and offers food for renection. Does a long, uninterrupted term in the society of another breed weariness? It looks like it. Arctic explorers say they see .so much of one another as to make them quite sick of the very sight of one another's faces. May it not be so some- times in matrimony ? But if so, what becomes of Darby and Joan ? A Bristol paper has the following under the head of "Local News—Bristol":— Last night ar interesting spectacle was presented at about ten o'clock, when the planet Sa.turn was placed 41 degrees south of the moon. On Monday another attrac- tive conjunction will occur at the same time of the evening, for the brilliant planet Jupiter will be only 3 degrees north of the moon. These phenomena are interesting, as they may be observed with the naked eye if the atmosphere is clear. We could think from the heading that the above littte celestial show was organised specially for the amusement of the Bris- tolians. But the heavens do not shine on Bristol alone, and the conjunctions were seen everywhere else in these islands—by those who cared to look nt them.

I Mainty -About Peopte. I
I Mainty About Peopte. I The Rig-ht Rev. John Wordsworth, Bishop of Salisbury. was sixty-one on Wednesday. The son of a, former Bishop of Lincoln and nephew of a former Bishop of gt. Andrews, Dr. Wordsworth tomes of a. family which can claim to have been except.onally suc- cessful in attaining the highest honours which the chrrch can bestow. He is an old Winchester and Oxford man, and at the age of twenty-seven, two years after taking his degree, he begins Prebendary of Lincoln. In 1833 he was appointed Canon of Rochester, and two years later be was called by the late Lord Salisbury to the see of Salisbury—a. coincidence in names that might almost lead to the belief that the bishopric was in the gift of the Ixte Premier's family. A very curious thing with regard to the Bishopric of !SaJisbury is tha't the three immediate predo of the present John Sarum all died in the sixteenth year of their respective episcopates, and Dr. Wordsworth when this time arrived indulged in some reflections on the subject, which are not without a certain quiet humour. The Sfuh triennial visitation period, ho said, waa "a marksd point in the life of a Bishop of Salisbury, if not of the diocese )over which he presided." However, the ruje which almost ?.eemed established has been broken, or else Dr. Wordsworth is the exception which proves it, for he has been bishop Cor nineteen years, and if the hopes of his f!ock are fulnlled he will be bishop for at least as many more years. Mr. Lionel Brough is shortly to be enter- tained at dinner by the O.P. Club in recognition of the fact that he has almost reached the end of his Rftieth year upon the stage. Born in Monmouthshire in the spring of 1836. he was only eighteen when he made his debut on the London stage at the Lyceum Theatre as "Count Carboniferous," in Prince Prettypet and the Butterny." Ten years later he went up to Liverpool to join the company of the Prince of Wales's Theatre, but soon he returned to London, where he had struck up a. friendship with Henry Irving. and was a very dear friend of J. L. Toole's. Mr. Lionel Brough is (says To- Day ") pjl>bably the Quest .actor in 'low comedy left upon the English stage. Recently he has been under the manage- ment of Mr. Tree, and, as "Sir Toby Belch." in Twelfth Night." he made the humours of Shakspeare ring out like new jests. Other parts he has played with relish are Tony Lumpkin" and "Touchstone" and "Bob Acres," and whatever role he has appeared in he has adorned. He c.omes of a family, however, all the members of which look upon the stage as their native air. Robert Barnabas I Brough, the now forgotten playwright, and author of the democratic Sjbngs for the Governing Classes," wiaa his broth-er; and Robert Brough's daughter. Fanny, has shown comic actres3 of genius. I Another brother was William Brough, whp turned out so many plays in the fifties and sixties, and Lionel Brough's own son, Sidney, baa already made a very good impression, one of his best pieces of work being the impersonation in the provinces of Dick Heldar in The Light That Failed." With his friends Toole, Lionel Broagh was rather given to tha.t form of Victorian humour known as the practical joke. Once they were playing in Dearer Than Life," a piece cf H. J. Byron's, at the Queen's I Theatre in Long Acre. and in this piece they I represented two ancient paupers, dressed in rags, and grimy. One day they had an appointment to have their photographs taken by a. "swagger" photographer in the West-End, got up ag these ragged characters. After dressing, they had to wait for a while. so Toole pnoposed that they should go for a stroll in the street in their tatterdemalion garb. They found themselves in a fashionable street, a-ud, learning that a lord lived in one of the houses, they immediately approached the stranger's entrance. On a, powerful and duke-like flunkey appearing, they besought to be informed if Lord So-and-So was at home. The footman turned up his nose, and ordered them cfF. Get away," he said, "ot I'll send for the police." They attempted to push past him, and swore they must see his lordship, and the flunkey, in anger, swore as nrmly that b& would hand them to a- constable as a pair of beggars. Humble and sighing, they withdrew. Oh. well." they said, "if we can't see him, we can't. But just tell his lordship that his two poor coosins called from the workhouse, will you? Good irorning." And with that they left the poor flunkey scratching his head in misery and perplexity. The Duk° of Buccleuch, who was 73 on Friday, is. like his Grace of Argyle. a Londoner by birth. The dukedom (in the peerage of Scotland) dates from 1663, and the Duke's titia (in the peerage of England) of I Earl of Doncaster and Baron Tynedale from 1662. Educated at Eton and Christ Church. I Oxford, as the Earl of Dalkeith, be was returned for Mid-Lothian when in his 22nd year. He represented that county for two successive periods—1853-68 and 1874-80. It -7aq in the latter year, rever to be forgotten in the political annals of the northern kingdom, that Mr. Gladstone wrested what he after- wards desiemated "the queen of constituen- cies" from Tory domination. The Duke. -who married in M59 Lady Louisa Jane Hamilton. daughter of tha Srst Duke of Abercorn. is Captain-General of the Royal Company of Archers and Lord-lieutenant of Dumfries- shire. He is the largest territorial magnate in the South of Scotland, and has frequently entertained Royalty in two of his Scottish residences—Da'kcit-h House and Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfries-sbire. Sir Kenelm Digby, K.C.B.. who entered his sixty-ninth birthday on Friday, was the eldsst son of Canon the Hon. Kenelm H. i Digby. rector of TittJeshaII, Norfolk, is a cousin of the present Baron Digby. and married one of Lord Belpcr's daughters. Educated at Oxford, and called to the Bar at Lincoln's-inn in 1865, he became a bencher o'f his Inn in 1891, a. County court judge in 1892, and nnally. in 1895, was appointed to succeed Sir Godfrey Lushington as Perma- nent Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department—on omce which he held with a, two years' special extension till September, 1905. As a lawyer among the learned, both in front ot and on the Bench, he has always enjoyed persona! popularity.

POUCE SPY'S TR)AL
POUCE SPY'S TR)AL ARRESTED WHILE WATCHING A BURGLARY PLOT. A police opy. W'!lO pmseeuted his trade so in,dustriouslyltha,t he was arrested for com- plicity in a robbery. and was actually sent for trial by tho ma,giBtrat.p, has succeeded at the eleventh hour in escaping from the net that circumstances 'had woven round him. His na.TM is John AVilliam Camp. and his extraordina-ry experience was disclosed yee- terda.y at the Clerkenwelt Sessions, where. with one Edward Jeffrey, be was being tried for s.n aUeged robbery of plate from the Savoy Hotel. The arrest of Camp took place on the even- ing of September 5. in Va,Ma,noe-6t.r€et. E. He was with his wife aA .the tim-e, a.nd Det€)c- t,ive-in-,Tect,)r Dii-a-11 and Det<!ctiTe Alfred Bor'ha,m. not.;ci-ng that his ngTire presented unna-taral protuberances, stopped, qu<a- timn# and SnaJly took him into custody. In hia rjo&etg t<b'ey found silver knives, forks, tongs, and other article a th'a.t had been stolen from the Savoy some time since Ma.y, whToh wera mark'ed with the Savoy mono- ?rajn. AMording to Bore'lunn. Camp said on being larl"eJ.3rl. "All right, gUV'DOt' It's all up. 1're got some obLite, but I don't know where it came from. It's a. 'break* somewhere," and later Suitor (Jeffreys) brought the stan' to Bobbo. and Bobbo paid lOs. for it, and I was going to do it in for Bobbo." TbLg alleged statement, it may be noted, is emphatically repudiated by Oajnp. A third dete'ctJYe arrested JefFreya. and the two prisoners were broug'ht up before Mr. Cluer. Holding that there waS no evi- dence against Jeffreys, tha m?gis¡t.rat.e di6- charged him. The ncwiy-libera-ted man was at once called by Camp as a witness, and. as the result of his evidence, under Camp's croas-ex'ajDination waa Ordered Back Into Custody by Mr. CJuer. Both men were thsn committed for trial. Thia waa the position of aSadrs when the tria.1 beg'a:i a.t Cicrkenwen yesterday. The first hint of a pemarka.Me d'evelopment cajne when Inspector Dhial!. in anawcr to Ca.mp, a<Imitte'd that the latter did sa<y som-eth-ing" wiMn arres'ted Rboot beang -g,a-geci by de.te-ctives to oatc'h receivers, and that he had given information to De'tec- tivcs Cornish and Ratter in oonn'eotion with a proposed burglary a-t a jeweller's shop, whic.h a m'an had a-akcd Mm to commit. Next in the witness-box was Detective Butter, who arrested JeifreyL He said, tn cross-examination by Camp. that on Septem- ber 2 he met Camp by appointment. Camp then said:— I have got to go round ¿o-morrow morning to ——. He has got a little jeweller's shop he wants me to do. What would you advise me to do? The witness answered:— You can go and see him if you like, but don't you dc anything to incriminate your- self. If you do go and see him and he volunteers any information to you as to where this jeweller's place is, and who is going to do it, then you can let me know. Camp then left. The witness had seen him every day almost for weeks by appointment, and believed he was trying to earn an honest living. The detective added that he had himself helped him. Camp had given information. and as a result one man had been sentenced to four years' penal servitude. Here Camp, a man of 33 years, took up the sctory. electing to give evidence on oath. He said that after seeing Detective Butter he went to Bobbo's place to gain information about the burglary at the jeweller's. Whilst there he alleged that Jeffreys brought in the plate in question, and sold it to Bobbo" for 10s. Camp slipped away on some pretence to inform the police, and. being unable to find them, went back to the house Then Bobbc gave him the things to take to ——, and Camp communicated with his wife, so that she should Rush to the Ponce-Station and return with omcera whilst he kept the receiver and Bobbo detained. Bobbo," however, went away, and the receiver was absent from home. Camp was told that the receiver might be in a public-house in Val- lanee-road. and he was iroing there in search of him when he wag arrested. Additional testimony followed from Camp's wife. and from Detective Cornish, who said the prisoner had spoken to him about the projected burglary. Weeks before, too, he had indicated a local man as receiver. The jury had already discharged Jeffrey?. They now stopped the case. and found Camp not guilty, amid an outburst of applause. I entirely agree with the jury's verdict." said Sir William Jonee, judge, because I believe your story. Camp, and that in spite of all I know about your past history, which the jury did not know." You must remember, my lord." replied Camp, "I have been to work honestly for four years, and have handled millions of pounds, until I was afraid because my old associates found me out. I go out of this court without a single penny to buy food for my wife. I have no one to go to. Can you do anything for me? I have nowhere to go to-night." The judge directed him to be taken to Mr. Wheatley, of the St. Giles's Christian Mission. and the situation explained. Some gentle- men in court subscribed a few shillings, and Camp appeared extremely grateful for their kindness, and thanked them profusely.

BURNT )N BEDROOM
BURNT )N BEDROOM CORONER REPRIMANDS BARRY MOTHER. Mr. E. B. Reece (coroner) held an inquest at the Central Police-station. Barry Dock. on Thursday. on the body of Alice Ma.ud Taylor, aged one year and nine months, the daughter of Martha, ajid Willio Albert Tailor, boiler- maker. of 49. Caetleland-street, Barry Dock, who had been burnt to death. The mother stated that she put the child to bed in the front-room downstairs on Wed- nesday. A neighbour, named Catherine Con- nelly, some time later noticed smoke issuing from the front-room door, and a. woman named Gwilyms went into the room a,nd got the baby out. It was very badly burnt and unconscious. The Coroner: Were any matches found in the bed?—Yes, a box. You are a, nice woman, to put the child to bed and leave matches within her reach. You ought to be ashamed of yourself?—I did not notice any. It is your business to look. You are one of those women who are not fit to have chil- dren?—Oh, no. In further answers to the coroner she said she was sober. Police-sergeant Andrew Poolma-n (72) said when he went to the house he found the woman Gwilyma with the child in her arms. The baby was unconscious, and her clothea were burnt on'. MM. Taylor, he added, was under the influence of drink. The Coroner: Were there any matches about?—Yes. scattered over the bed, and the box wae on the bed. The Coroner said that from the evidence of the constable there was no doubt that the mother was under the innuence of drink. The poor little creature had met with a. miserable death, to his mind. through the gross ca.re- lesenesa of the mother. The question waa really and truly whether a. verdict of man. slaughter would lie against the woman. However, he feared that they could not do that. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." and asked the coroner to strongly reprimand the woman.—The Foreman remarked that some were of opinion that the mother must have given the child matches to play with. In reprimanding Taylor the Coroner said she was very fortunate in not being sent for tria.1 for manslaughter.
THE CARMARTHEN MYSTERY.
THE CARMARTHEN MYSTERY. I NO NEWS OF MISSING WATER BAILIFF SUPERINTENDENT. Onr reporter learned on inquiry at the! home of Mr. James EvaTM. the missing super- intendent of water bailiffs of the Carmarthen Bay Fishery District, that no information as to his whereabouts or recent doings had been received, and to his relatives his absence from home is both unaccountable and ter- ribly distressing. His brother, the clergy- man, who went home last week to bury his wife. stated that it w&a not at Swansea., but at Kidwelly Police-court he was known to be last engaged in conducting a case, and this was on the 6th inst., whence he, in all probability, proceeded to Ferryside. to fur. ther continue his duty. However this may be. he was certainly seen one night about this time in the company of a number of people at the Union Hall Hotel. LIanstephan. and on the following morning he left by the ferry-boat for Ferryside. He is not one to be easily unobserved, and the gravest fears, therefore, as to hia well-being are enter- tained. To facilitate matters, an effort has been made to secure his photograph, but, I unfortunately, hia friencta do not possess a single copy.
I JERSEY'S CONTUMACY. I
I JERSEY'S CONTUMACY. AUTHORITY OF IMPERIAL GOVERN. MENT FLOUTED. In the Jersey Appea.1 Court on Thursday the general commanding the troops sued an omcer named Nicolle. late commanding the 2nd Royal Jersey Militia, for the return of the regimental colours, taken from the arsenal when the regiment ceased to exist. on the ground that when colours were pre- sented to the regiment they became the pro- perty of the Crown. The court below had ordered the pIaintMF to eetablieh his right. Th& Solicitor-General, for the plaintiff, was proceeding to refer to his instructions, appa- rently ffom the Treasury, when the Chief Magistrate said the law of Jersey must be followed, and not instructions from outside. The court ruled that, as the plajntin had not presented hid case on the same arguments as before the court below, according to statute law the appeal would be dismissed. No order was made as to costs. Leave to appeal to the Privy Council was refused.—Great interest was taken in the case owing to the friction between the military and civil authorities.
iTHE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.…

StR HENHY )RV!NG
StR HENHY )RV!NG -0 ANOTHER PERFORMANCE AT CARDIFF. Sir Henry Irving chose to appear at the Theatre Royal. Cardiff, on Thursday night in two of his most popular characters, and it was only natural that, with probably the last opportunity of seeing him in such favourite roles, there should have thronged to the theatre a crowded attendance of playgoers. Fhetr appreciation of his wonderful perform- ance was unstintedly acclaimed with hearts which were full. though they were saddened by the thoughts of farewell. At the end Sir Henry spoke a few graceful words of thanks. and. no doubt, the deep feeling which charac- terised their expression, arose from the inevit. able conclusions, from the enthusiasm of his reception, that in those roles in which he ntted the people's fancy in the years of I is strength and vigour, he still exerted the same charm in the closing days of his career. The pieces which had been chosen for repre- sentation were Waterloo and The Bells," and there seemed a peculiar fitness in that they were serving for-a valedictory perform- ance. In the former Sir Henry, the veteran actor, was playing the part of the veteran warrior, nearing the end of a glorious career, but there was this difference between the man who played and the character he played. One lived on the memories of the deeds of his past. the other lives on the triumphs of the present, triumphs which cveu the achievements of his youth and prime I cannot surpass. Then, in the second piece, we saw once more the famous play which was the stepping-etone from which Irving attained his pinnacle of fame. and which built up the declining fortunes of the Lyceum Theatre. Scarcely any other plays could have better illustrated the versatility of the great actor's powers. In the nrst the character of Cor- poral Gregory Brewater is a simple sketch, —though here it was exquisitely drawn-of a homely everyday character with whose type all of us must be familiar. In the second the character of Mathias is one that demands the highest pitch of dramatic inten- sity Of Corporal Brewster Sir Henry could have given no more life-like impersonation. There was vividly pourtrayed a simple- hearted old man, physically feeble, but men- tally stilt retaining much of his old time vigour, with a soul hearty and merry. He had just little touches of the querulousness which advanced age brings. Then there were softening touches to the character-subtly introduced—in his loving dependence on his niece's ministrations, and in the pathos of the picture where the old man dreamily asks the consolations of his Bible, which added much to the realism of Sir Henry's playing; and in the final scene, where the martial music of the Gi arda wafts the old man's spirit to an eternal rest, the great actor reached a dramatic climax which was a fit- ting conclusion to such a character sketch, full of snggestiveness and vivid colour. In "The Bella" Sir Henry played a role in which many phases of character must needs be represented. First, there is the happy family circle in which Mathias is the kindly parent.. A little Iat<-r we see the avari- cious schemer gloatingly counting his ill- gotten gold, and then the craft and cunning of the criminal seeking to hide the evidence of his crime. Finally, in the famous dream scene, we saw a veritable masterpiece of dramatic expression. Throughout this scene Sir Henry attained the highest summit of hia art, and he left an impression on his audience which will never be forgotten. At the fall of the curtain the vociferoua applause brought Sir Henry to the front three times, and at the last appearance he gratified their desire with a simple and teaching little speech. "He could but comply with their wish," he said, "and he was very grateful for that charming meeting, and, speaking of the company, for the areneroTM welcorM they had given them all that night. It had been music in their hearts, ae their tuneful singing had been music in their ears. He was glad they had come to this melancholy play with such good spirits, and hoped they were leaving in the same good humour. Again he thanked them for himself and his company." The support which Sir Henry received from his company, it need hardly be said, was faultless. Particularly charming was Mias Maud Fealy. This evening the performance of "The Mer- chant of Venice" will be repeated.

An awkward situation was diplomatically solved at an hotel in Cardiff, where a promi. nent vocalist and an equally prominent musical critic are residing temporarily for the festival. The vocalist, anxious to preserve his voice, desired that all the windows in the hotel corridora through which he passed, and also the windows in the breakfast room, should be kept closed. The critic, on the other hand. was a. lover o-f fresh air, and gave orders for all the windows to be kept open. The manager was appealed to, and soon solved the difficulty. The ctitic was called half an hour before the einger. and had finished his breakfast in a well-ventilated room by the time the vocaliet was ready for his morning meal. All the windows were I then closed.

I THR!LUNG STORY !
I THR!LUNG STORY I HONOURING A V.C. HERO AT I CWMBRAN. The omcers and members of the Cwmbran Company of Volunteers turned out on Thurs- day night as hero-worshippers of Private John Williams. V.C., one of the small band cf brave heroes who helped to rescue the wounded from the burning hospital at Korke's Drift and to save the poor soldiers from being mmrdered at the hands of the savages. Since his return to civil life Wil- liams has been closely identified with the Volunteers at Cwmbran, and the best way the omcera thought they could cherish the brave soldier's memory was to decorate the drill-hall with a. life-like painting in oils of him. Williams is anything but an old mau yet, and the fa.ct that he is left in such a humble position as that of labourer shows up very clearly one of the stigmas of the British Army. Although the story of Eorke's Drift haf oft been told, it still bears repetition by reason of its thrilling incidents. Flushed with their victory at Isandhlwana. in January, 1879, the Zulus advanced to Rorke's Drift, which was held by one company of the old 24th (now South Wales Borderers), under Lieutenant Bromhead, and numbering about 80 ot all ranks. They had been left there to take charge of a, small depot of provisions and a hospital, and to keep open the communications to Natal. The defence of Rorke's Drift by this small band. under Lieatena.nts Chard. E.E., and Bromhead, against 5,000 of the finest warriors under the command of a brother of Cetewayo, forms one of those ne'er-to-be-forgotten stories of British heroism and endurance which adorn the pages of history. From half-past four until daylight the following morning the aavage hordes were kept at bay, and when they retired it was with the loss of 350 men. The savages, failing to force the hospital in which the wounded lay, set &re to it, and the little garrison had all their work cut out to save the sick. Private John Williams, and Privates Joseph Williams and William Harrigan, were posted in a, distant room of the hospital, which they held for more than an hour-so long as they had a round of ammunition left. As communication wae for a while cut off the Zulas a.dvan-ced, burst rpen the door, and dragged out Private Joseph Williams and two patients. a.cd asee- gaied them. While the Zulus were occupied with the slaughter of these men a lull took place, during which Private John Williams and two other patients left the building alive. Williams afterwards succeeded in knocking a. hole through a partition, where he found Henry Hook in charge of seven patients. The Zulus, thinking they had a free hand, pr&ssed for the sick men, but the two sole defenders proved themselves equal to the danger to which they were exposed. The rattle of musketry all round wae almost drowned by the shouts of the savages, a.nd the din was dreadful. Nothing daunted, Privates Hook and Williams set to work to remove the sick, and while one kept the savages at bay the other broke through three partitions, and all the patients were passed through a small window into the'inner defence. Hook now holds a responsible post at the British Museum. -APP UNVEILING THE OIL PAINTING. I I I The ceremony of unvemng the on painting was made the occasion of a smoking concert, over which Captain B. J. Williams, the cap- tain of the local company of Volunteers, pre- sided. Among those present were Colonel Bradney, the commanding omoer of the 3rd Battalion; Captain Leslie Thornton, of the Bine Brigade; Major H. G. Grimths, Ponty- pool; Captain Sale, Sergeant-major Fryer. and Sergeant-instructor Pa'uncefote Munday. The toast of The King" was pro- posed by Colonel Bradney, who subsequently submitted, in a very interestrhg speech, the health of the hero of the evening. Sergeant Williams, in reply, said he did not think that I any one man was braver than another. Any- one who was present at Rorke's Drift on the I night of January 22, 1879, would have done the same ae he did. Corner a Britisher and he was not going to die in that corner without trying to fight his way out. No matter how foolish or stupid looking a man was, he might prove a. hero when necessity arose.

AN EXCITING RUN I
AN EXCITING RUN I I DRIVER SERIOUSLY INJURED I AT BARGOED. A startling accident occurred at Bargoed yesterday. Mr. rmd Mrs. Powell, of Ivy Cottage. Church-street. Bargoed. had been burying their baby at Hanhilleth, near Crumlin. TIpon their return one of the cabs attending the funeral, containing thi'eo men and two little lads. and drawn by two horses, was approaching the top of Church-street, which is exceptionally steep, when the pole of the cab snapped, the cab descending the hill at a. terrinc rate. The driver became entangled, and was drawn from the top ot thf street to the bottcm. a distance of about 100 yards, the wheels passing over him. Fred Duvies. one of the occupants of the cah, jumped out, whilst the other two men remained inside and held the two little boys in their arms. The cab dashed into the boun- dary wa.!l of St. Gwladys' Parish Church, causing a huge gap in the masonry, and wa: smashed to atoms. The occupants were released from the debris, and were found to be &uB'eiing from severe bruises. The driver waj seriously injured, and was removed to the school-house, where he remained uncon- scious for about twenty minutes. Eventually he was conveyed in a cab to Tirphil. The extent of his injuries is not yet known. The pair of horses, with the pole attached t,) them. bolted through Francis-street and Greenneld at a rapid speed, several children having miraculous escapes. A coalman n&med Hughea sprang forward and caught the reins and clung to them until the horses slackened down.
RUSStA AND T!BET,
RUSStA AND T!BET, A Diplomatic Note That Will "Create Some Sensation" The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Petit. Parisien" leams that the Russian Government is preparing a diplomatic Note in terms of protest against the Anglo- Tibetan Treaty; which, in Russian opinion, seeks to establish a protectorate over Tibet. The correspondent adds that the Note will create some sensation.—Central News. The Russian precs contains many referencea to the Anglo-Tibetan Treaty. The "Sviet" says:—"Tibet is closed to Russia, and opened to Great Britain alone. At the beginning of the British expedition to Tibet we said that in the event of a success- ful issue this undertaking would injure our prestige among the Lamas, both in our terri- tory and among the Mongols on our frontiers. The undertaking has met with success, and we do not withdraw our words." The "Novosti" says:—"As for Russia, we have already said that her interests in Central Asia. are bound up with those of Great Britain. The two nations are sur- rounded by the same enemies and combat the same dangers, so that the success of one of them should not excite the envy or discon- tent of the other. That is why we must not, look upon the British protectorate over Tibet as a political event directed against Russia's interests." The "Bourse Gazette" cays:—"Thanks to the war in which Russia, is engaged. Great Britain has obtained from Tibet more than she contemplated at the beginning of her expedition. But these considerable results obtained by the mission-will they endure? Will the Powers accept?" The Novoye Vremya. commenting on Mr. Brodrick's recent speech at Bramley. says that to his declaration that the Indian Army was prepared Russia can reply, "We, also, are ready."
IMR. MARK'S CANDiDATURE
MR. MARK'S CANDiDATURE The candidature of Mr. Harry Marks for the Isle of Thanet Division, which is opposed by some, Unionists 9n;perøoa&l' grouDdf!.häe-pro.. voked the "Times" to a leading article of unusual length, in which that paper de&Ia with the iituess of Mr. Marks to represent Lhe Unionist cause. Reference is made to & num. ber of law suits in which Mr. Marks has figured, and to a subsequent investigation of Mr. Marks' conduct in the matters concerned. The "Times" says:—"The local Conservative organisations are calling upon the electorate to reverse 'Marks v. Butterneld* and to ignore 'Head v. Glenesk,' not upon the strength of the proofs which convinced Colonel Hill'a com- mittee. but upon the strength of that corn' mittee's conclusion. They put forward neither the statements nor the documents. They give the electors no opportunity of conducting an independent examination of either. They simply contend that it is the duty of good Unionists to abdicate their own private judg- ment and to act upon the judgment of Colonel Hill and his colleagues. We assert without hesitation that this attitude is utterly inde- fensible. Mr. Marks is asking the Unionista of Thanet to confer upon him a. high honour and a great trust. There are incidents in his career which, so long as they are unexplained. ought to debar them from conferring that honour and trust upon him. It is better to lose a seat than to associate the cause of Unionism with a man who gives no public and adequate refutation to such charges as have been publicly made against Mr. Harry Marks."
