"DESERVED MORE"
"DESERVED MORE" A wounding case of a grave character was heard at a special sitting of the Carmarthen Borough Bench on Saturday. It appears that a married man, named Evan Reynolds, who had, it was stated, been cohabiting with Mrs. Jane Evans at Island Wharf, went thither on the previous night in a drunken condi- tion, and because a supper had not been prepared according: to his desires, he told the woman and her seven-year-old boy to clear off. He was 30 angry that they escaped from the house, and on their return later he made a savage attack on the lad, struck him on the forehead with a chair, and caused a jagged gash. The mother caught the child as he was falling-. When arrested the defen- dant was lying in the roadway by his house bleeding from the nose. At the police-station he denied the crime of unlawfully wound- ing, and declared in referring to Mrs. Evans, "She is a devil of a woman. I will kill her," and used vile expressions about the boy. Dr. Denzil Harris, who had dressed the boy's wound, said that if the blow had been given a few inches nearer the temple it might have killed the boy. The sentence was one month's hard labour. The Chairman (Mr. James Duviee) said he certainly deserved more.
MOCK MARRIAGE
MOCK MARRIAGE A.t Bouthend recently a servant girl te.ppl.ied to the borough bench for an order egain-at a London cabinetmaker, who did not appear. The complainant said that the defendant used to call at the house where ehe wflo employed to do work. They became acquainted, and he asked her to marry him. She consented, and they went to London for this purpose. He took her to an office in Pinilico, where they went through some sort of ceremony in the presence of two other men. The defendant put a ring on her finger, aad said it was all settled. They returned to Sonithend the ;mme day, and lived as man and wife in one room until a certain event hap- pened. When the defendant went away she discovered that he had deceived her, and that they had not been properly married. The defendant had sent her a letter, in which he aaid, "I shall be thousands of miles away in a few weeks' time. You can take it to court, but they will never find me." The bench described the case as particularly cruel, and made an order for the payment of fm. a. week and caste.
PEMBROKE CHARGE FAILS
PEMBROKE CHARGE FAILS Ernest Daviee. Monkton; Howard Cole, "Merchants' Park; Samuel Hayward, Orange- gardens, and Thomas Jenkins, Twopenny Hay, were charged at Pembroke County Police-court on Saturday with assaulting Maud Hall, of Merrion, on August 23. Mr. R. D. lowlem appeared for Davies. and Mr. Reed for the other defendants. Complainant said that she was going home from Pembroke, accompanied by Davies, when they met the other three youths. She was thrown down and assaulted by the four defendants. Dr. winisme said that he examined the com- plainant, but found no sisa of bruises or assault. The Bench dismissed the case.
INTRUDER FATALLY SHOT
INTRUDER FATALLY SHOT A fcrrible tragedy occurred early on Satur- day on the River Humber. off Hessle. A man named Thomas Cornwall boarded a vessel, and the skipper, hearing his dog struggling with "him, went to the spot. Cornwall, it is aUeged, fired at the skipper, but missed him, and the letter, it is staled, then fired at Cornwall in self-defence, inflicting fatal injuries. Later in the day Thomas Watson, the skipper, who is 63, was formally remanded by the Hull magistrate, charged in connec- tion with Cornwall's death. Accused was greatly distressed
CHEMIST'S wtfE FOUND SHOT
CHEMIST'S wtfE FOUND SHOT A shocking affair occurred in a fashion- able suburban district of Sheffield on Sunday morning. Hilda Foers (27), wife of a leading chemist, waa found shot through the temple. Mrs. Foers, who had one child, had been low-, spirited for the past few weeks. On S-uuUay morning1 she took her husband's breakfast to him. and at that time appeared less depressed. A quarter of an hour afterwards the husband heard a shot. Going into one of the bedrooms he found his wife dying, and by her side a five-chambered revolver.
SUICIDE AT PONTYPRIDDI
SUICIDE AT PONTYPRIDD John Price, of Riv, Treorky, 66 years of age. died at Pontypridd Workhouse on Saturday evenin.g under oimumistanees which point to suicide. It appears that Price was taken to the workbrxuse infirmary on Friday in a weak state of health, and on Saturday, when the porter entered the room, he saw Price bleeding profusely from a terrible wound in the throat, inflicted with a table knife. Dr. Howard Davies was called in and dressed the wound, but Price succumbed two bours after.

BAKERS' EXHIBITION
BAKERS' EXHIBITION Another large exhibition devoted to con- fectioners, bakers, and allied trades, was opened at the Agricultural-hall, London, on Saturday, and will be open during this coming week. The number of entries shows an increase of several thousands,. and the exhibits include several sets of machinery working in the confectionery as well as the other sections, and an extremely interesting lot of stalls is on view, the range embracing everything that traders in the branches named are likely to require.

Palmer (Swansea), fa. W. Perrett (Weston-super-Mare), W. Peters (Swansea), and J. T. Walker (Penarth). Mr. W. J.

Bland (Newport). A large number of valuable priren are offered for the competitions that will take pLace in each section of the exhibition during the week.

I The Man in the Street.
The Man in the Street. During this poor sort of summer which is just passing away we have seen two functions held which have helped to brighten the lives of the citizens of Car- diff, and it may be prophesied very confi- dently that we are going to see more of such events in future summers. I refer to the two aquatic galas held on Roath Park Lake, and promoted by the city police and the Y.M.C.A. Both were signally successful, and why shouldn't they be, for if ever a stretch of water was admirably suited for the holding of aquatic carnivals it is the lake at Roath of which Cardiff people are rightly proud. There is already a whisper of the cor- poration promoting several such festivals next summer, and if they do it is about as certain as it can be that they will be financially successful, unlike some other ventures of the city council. Why should not the chief governing body attempt to import a little more joy and beauty into the lives of the people? Adornment of the streets by the planting of trees is a part of the city fathers' civic duty, but something more would be gained if the citizens, especially the working classes, could be induced to bedeck the fronts of their dwellings with baskets and window boxes of growing flowers. Here is a chance for some man of wealth to set aside a sum of, say, tlOO each year to produce a prize for the work- ing man whose house is best adorned with flowers. This, indeed, would be the cult of the beautiful. Saturday was the first week-end in the football season, and it was only in accord with the fitness of things that the weather should harmonise with the advent of the winter sport. Cricketers have been sulking in their tents for a great, if not the greater part of the summer, and watching and waiting for some definite indication of the weather "settling." We had about a fortnight's unbroken series of sunny days last jnon h, but it was only enough to intensify the regret that it had been so long in com- ing and to sharpen the longing for more of it. Like Oliver Twist cricketers have cried for that "more" "in vain, and all that can be favourably said of the summer that is passing is that it was typically British. Although the Austra- lians won the rubber and will return with the precious ashes, it is no secret that their tour has been disappointing finan- cially. One of their best "gates" outside the Test matches was that at Cardiff, when they played a South Wales eleven. They took away with them nearly JE500 as their share of the gate money, while the Glamorgan County Club netted f;250 after paying all expenses. Compare this with the Cornstalks' experience at Derby where, on the first day, which was gloriously fine by the way, they took £17, I and you have some justification at least for encouraging the Welsh county to seek promotion from second to first class cricket. In cricket, as in football and every other pastime or sport, the people of South Wales like to see the best talent, and if this can be guaranteed them they willingly pay for it. The members of the Cardiff City Council can hardly be aware of a grave evil which exists at the Law Courts. Attention has before been called in this column to the torture endured by the public in having to stand for lengthy periods in the dismal court corridors owing to lack of accommodation, but a sensational feature has arisen in connec- tion with the evil. The acoustics are undeniably bad, and among the gentle- men who complain of the difficulty in hearing is the stipendiary, who, I under- stand, objects to the noises in the corri- dors. It is in this way that the scandal has beoome more pronounced. Ordina- rily about 400 persons flock to the courts each day, and the accommodation only provides for 200. A proportion' of the other 200 are rather unwillingly accom- modated in a witnesses room, and therein hangs a sad tale. Respectable people, I many being mothers bearing babes, are forced to pass idle hours in the company of people with a past. It is a state of things that requires instant attention. It has not been till the close of the summer season for several years that the Barry District Council have attempted to allay public feeling with the assurance that negotiations were approaching fruition with the view of clearing the sands at Whitmore Bay of the number- less hucksters' stands, which have summer after summer marred the happiness of pleasure-seekers at tha. delightful spot. But nothing further was done till this year, for an order has just been pub- lished conveying the gratifying intelli- gence that a code of bye-laws, framed y the local authority, has received the sanction of the Home Office and Board of Trade rendering encroachment by the vendors of fruit, sweetmeats, refresh- ments, and other comestibles along the foreshore a punishable offence, and the council are now awaiting an opportunity to put the bye-laws in force. It is but a small computation to say that Barry Island has been visited this season by at least half-a-million holiday-seekers, and it would be difficult to find a pleasure resort in the whole country where there is so utter lack of provision for, the accommodation and entertainment of the public. Now that they have the law in their own hands, and jurisdiction over the entire foreshore has been vested in them, I hope, in thejnterests of the town and of visitors, the Barry Council will lose no further time in providing suitable shelters and otherwise affording means of entertainment for visitors before another summer season comes round.

South Wales Coal TradeI
South Wales Coal Trade STRIKE NOTICES IN WESTERN DISTRICT A meeting of the Western Miners' District was .held at Swansea on Saturday, Mr. J. Davies (Brynooch) presiding over representa- tives of 11,000 men. It was reported that sixteen men had been stopped by the Morfa Company and thirty to forty men at Glan- afon. owing to the recent notices, and it was decided to pay them strike money and to request the Federation to take up their cases in order to get them re-started by the employers. A long discussion took place over notices tendered early in August by five members of the Enginemen and Stokera' Association at Cory's, Kesolven, without notifying the Federation or their fellow-workmen. These notices had, luokily, been withdrawn, but it was unanimously decided not to entertain proposals now made for a further notice by them until their association becomes affiliated to the Miners' Federation. I Anthracite Miners' Disputes I The anthracite miners met at the Grosvenor Hotel, Swansea, on Saturday, Mr. J. Rees (Upper Cwmtwrch) presiding over an attendance which represented 12.000 men. The first question that came up was the advisability or otherwise of supporting the Central College established at Oxford in opposition to Ruskin College. It was decided by a large majority th-ait the Central College should be supported, and a number of students should be sent up. It was further decided to recommend a 3d. levy in support of the college. It was reported by the agent that the questions in dispute at Cawdor Colliery had been amicably settled, and that the notices ten- dered by the men would not now be effective. The agent also reported that the various disputes between the company and the men at Pantyffynon Colliery had been settled. Strikes Threatened in Merthyr District At a. mass meeting of the miners of the Merthyr district held on Saturday it was resolved that unless the men employed on the afternoon shift at the Cyfarthfa and Plymouth collieries were paid for six turns instead of five, as at present, notices should be tendered by these men to terminate con- tracts on the 1st of October, and it was 0.180 determined that the same course of action should be taken by the men engaged on the Sunday night shift unless they were con- ceded shorter hours and provided with the facilities of a colliers' train to carry them to their work. Bonus Turn and Clearance in Eastern Valley A meeting of the Eastern Valleys branch j of the Miners' Federation was held at Ponty- pool on Saturday, Mr. W. C. Watkins pre- siding. A question had been submitted to the overtime committee of the Conciliation Boerd by Messrs. Vipond and Co., who con- tended that they should not pay six turn., for five. It was decided that the agent should meet the owners during the week. Several delegates complained of insufficient clearance at the collieries, and the general impression was that, although the employers complained that the Eight Houns Act would reduce the output, they were not making every effort to keep the output up to the standard. Dean Forest and Affiliation A ballot of the Dean Forest miners on the question of affiliation with the Miners' Federa- tion has resulted in S3 per cent. voting in favour of amalgamation, and returning to the position which they occupied previous to the strike of 1893. The workmen reserve to themselves the right to make thpir own wages agreement with their employers. The result of the vote was expected, but surprise has been caused by the practical unanimity of the voting.

The new radiators which he had fitted to the machine were, however, found to be leaky, and the trial had to be postponed until to-day. COUNT ZEPPELIN'S INVITATIONS 1 TO DEPUTIES. FRIBMHCHSHAFEN.

IMRS. FRANK TRAVERS DEAD i
I MRS. FRANK TRAVERS DEAD i The death of Mrs. Frank Travers, wife of Ca-pta-in Frank Travers, took placo at her resi- dence, Cathedine Hill, Bwlcli. The dec-eased was the eldest daughter of Sir Francis Godsell Johnson, late Chief Justice of Canada.. and was married to Captain Frank Travers in 1865 at the cathedral of Montreal. At this time the captain was stationed with hit" regiment, the 60th Rifles, at Montreal. The late Mrs. Traver3 was very well known in the county of Brecon, and also in society in England and Canada. During her residence at Cafchedine she was one of the fore- most in philanthropic work in the neighbour- hood. Captain Travers has for 35 years been chief agent to the Gwynne-Holford (Buckland) Estates. The funeral, a private one, will take place at Cathedine Church on Tuesday.

When Captain Cond-on was seen he was greeted with great enthusiasm. Coming on shore in a tender, Mr. Joseph Mr. O'CalLaghan, and extended to them in Devlin, M.P., addressed Captain Condon and the na-me of the chetirmtan awl members of the Irish party a cordial welcome. Captain Condon, in reply, baid that they, the envoys on behalf of the Irish in America., were supporting and would continue to support the Irish Parliamentary party, under the leadership of Mr. Redmond, and appealed to the people to sink all differences for the eake of Ireland. On landing at Queenstown Captain Condom waa cheered by a large crowd. Messrs.

I Cholera in Rotterdam
Cholera in Rotterdam NORWEGIAN CAPTAIN'S DEATH ROTTERDAM, Saturday. Captain Jesperson, of the Norwegian steamer Hekla. which arrived here from Archangel two days ago, developed symptoms of cholera this afternoon. The steamer was immediately isolated and disinfected, and all on board, as well as about a hundred labourers employed in discharging the vessel since her arrival, were placed under observa- tion. The captain died in the course of the afternoon. Since yesterdp^ one pntienf. has been con- veyed to the isolation sheds and enother has died there. The mnribsr of patients is Iix- teen, the condition of ono of them being serioti.s.-P,c,iter. Steamer in Quarantine The Anglo-American Oil Comjjany's steamer Cheyenne, "which sig-Tlaned off St. Catherine's Point on Friday for a surgeon, has arrived at Falmouth. She was immediately taken to the quarantine station and boarded by the port medical officer. A stoker was found to be suffering from a little cramp in his body, and the doctor ordered him to be isolated and the steamer to he kept in quar- antine pending further developments. The (medical officer is d opinion that the man is not suffering from cholera. It trans- pires that when at Rotterdam the boatswain of the Cheyenne fpll overboard, and some of the water from the river found its way into his stomach. The condition of the water is said to be responsible for the outbreak of cholera at Rotterdam. At the time of the accident the American Consul and an Ameri- can doctor happened to be on board, and, considering the man might contract cholera through swallowing the water, they commu- nicated with the proper authorities to pre vent the disease being possibly carriod to America. When the medical offioerat Fal- mouth bearded the steamer, however, he found the man hale and hearty. The Cheyenne, which is anchored three or four miles from shore, is thoroughly isolated. Her tanks of water ballast, taken from the irfiovrer t at Rotterdam, have been sealed, so that none can find its way into British waters. Even if the case should prove to be one of cholera, which is most doubtful, the precau- tions taken by the port sanitary authority are so strict that there is not the slightest danger of the disease spreading.
SINGING COMPETITION
SINGING COMPETITION The autumnal provincial festival of the National Temperance Choral Union was resumed at Llanelly on Saturday. A council meeting was held at Park Lecture-hall in the morning. At the public conference, presided over by Alderman C. Clements, J.P., president of the Union, Dr. J. Edar Davies, Llanelly gave a paper on "Alcohol and the Human Economy." Short life, less work, worse work, he con- tended, were the output of alcohol. It offered in exchange to narcotise their bodies, to hide from them the truth about themselves, to make them satisfied when they ought to be ashamed, and to substitute dreams for reali- ties. They were glad to have science on the side of total abstinence. It was decided to have the paper printed and circulated. There was a large gathering at the Market- hall in the afternoon, when the choral and solo contests took place. The a-djudicator was Mr. J. P. Rees, Mus. Bac., Aberystwyth. Chief awards:- Contralto solo: Miss Lizzie Jenkins, Llanelly. Tenor solo: Mr. W. H. Oampbell, Llanelly. Soprano: Miaa Blcdwan Hopkins, Llan- gennech. Bass': Llew Elli, Llanelly. Junior choral contest: 1st, Lake-road (Ports- mouth) Band of Hope Choir (152 marks); 2nd, Trinity Juvenile Choir, Llanelly (149); 3rd, Sikah Juvenile Choir, Llanelly (141). Second choral contest: 1st. Clarion (Ports- mouth) Temperance Choiral Society (145); 2nd, Bristol Temperance Choral Society (130). There were no entries for the chief choral contest, for which a silver cup value L10 10s. was offered. A concert was held in the evening, when a masked choir of over 600 voices rendered some select music. The conductors were Mr. Fred Williams, Westminster Cathedral, and Mr. C. Meudwy Davies, Llanelly. On Sunday evening a service was held at the Market-hall, when addressee were given by Mr. Walter Roche, M.P., and the Rev. T. Hughes, Briton Ferry.
GLAMORGAN FARMERS
GLAMORGAN FARMERS A meeting of the members of the Glamor- gan Chamber of Agriculture was held on Saturday at No. 5, High-street, Cardiff. Mr. G. Lipscomb (Margam), presided. Mr. Meyler Thomas (delegate), dealing in his report with the meeting of the Central Chamber in July last, said that several speakers referred to the great difficulties in the valuation of the whole of the land of the kingdom if carried out in the manner proposed in the Finance Bill. When carried out it would be tound to be imtymetioable-an opinion which had been confirmed by the surveyors of the king- dom. Another point raised (said tfie speakeri was that if agricultural land was to be exempt from taxation, why was it going to be valued? The general feeling of a-,r,ieu1 1 turists was that a general valuation of all agricultural land was mo^t uncalled for and ?fforts had for some unnecessary. Strong had for some time been made by interested and influential parties to get the Government to remove the embargo upon the importation of Canadian cattle. Last Tuesday a deputation waited upon the Prime Minister, and Mr. Aiquifh, he wa,8 glad to say, declined to remove the restrictions on the grouinl of public health. The council again had under consideration how be,.it to encourage the breeding of horse; for military purposes.—A- resolution was carried in favour of communicating with agricultural societies, asiking them to offeT prize.s for the best horses suitable for mili- tary purposes. Mr. Temp let on pointed to the necessity of market accommodation, on the western side of Cardiff, and proposed a. resolution asking the corporation to take the necessary steps as soon as possible.—Tins was carried. General Lee proposed that the chamber ioffer to the secretary (Mr. Hubert Alexander) sincere congratulations on the occasion of his approaching marriage, and at the same time wish him God-speed and every success. (Hear, hear.) — Mr, William Thomas (Hayes) fccconded, and other members spoke in appre- ciative terms of Mr. Alexander's courtesy and assiduity, and said they were indebted to him for much of the success of the chamber.—The resolution wa", adopted with much warmth. In reply, Mr. Alexander said his duties guve him the greatest pleasure, and it was easy to do the work with the help and con- sideration of all the members. <
IGALA AT MERTHYR
I GALA AT MERTHYR The gala held at Cyfarthfa Park, Merthyr, on Saturday afternoon ill aid of the funds of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was affected by dreadfully wet weather; nevertheless, thousands of people gathered in the park to deserving a cause. Considerable local Interest was taken in the carnival, and it received the benediction of ofliciai and civic patronage. A procession to the park was formed. comprising the Cyfarthfa and Municipal Band, the mayor, accompanied by the mayoress, and other members of the cor- poration riding in carriages, the Church Lads' Brigade, with their dram and fife band, the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and members of Friendly Societies, the rear being brought up with a, lifeboat manned by the Mumbled crew. The launch- ing of this lifeboat on the park lake took place amid a scene of considerable excite- ment, the mayor and Mrs. Wilson being on board when it took the water, on which there were high-crested waves reminiscent of sea. There were several swimming and other races set down for competition, but most of them had to be postponed until Thursday next, the on.ly ones which were decided being three aquatic events, in which the winners were as follows: — Ladies' 50 Yards Open Handicap.—Ist. Miss Inez Price; 2nd, Miss Olive Heard; 3rd, Miss Ethel Davies. 230 Yards Open Handicap.—1st, Chris Jones; 2nd, John Davies; 3rd, Phil Davies. 90 Yards Open Handicap (boys under eighteen).-le,t, Phil Davies; 2nd, John Davies. The pleasure boats which have already been put en the lake were well patronised dui iiig the afternoon, and, all things con- sidered, the collections taken on behalf of the institution were eminently satisfactory.

The .Missing Waratah I
The Missing Waratah I BOTTLE MESSAGE PICKED UP IN BURRY I INLET It has been reported to the Gowerton police that a Mrs. Bowen, of Castell Loughor, picked rip on September 1 on the beach at Loughor a bottle containing the following message:— Waratah sunk, August 6. Fire. Captain J. South Seas. Compass gone wrong. The Waratah's Captain I Cardiff snares an interest in the fate of the missing liner Warat-ah- Capaiin Ilbery, the skipper of the missing ship, is an old friend of Captain Fowler, who was formerly superintendent of the Bute Sailors' Home at Cardiff, and now resides at 178, King's-road. The friendship started in 1855, when Captain lowlor, as t,he master of the old sailing ship Nourma lfol. took on Ilbery as a. raw Liverpool lad, and during the fourteen years they were associated toge,t,her on the same vessel the missing captain worked his way up from apprentice boy to chief officer. In 1S68 he was appointed captain of the tea clipper Mikado, which wa,s owned by Mr. William Lund, of Glasgow, and he remained in that gentleman's service for a period of CAPTAIN ILBERY. forty years, the only mishap or accident he I ever experienced being a collision wit.h a I Norwegian steamer during a thick füg in the Channel. Captain fowler speaks very highly of Captain Ilbery as "a thorough good fellow and a good navigator, who was well up to his profession as a sailor." He was a man of about seventy years of age, and on the last occasion he visited Cardiff, viz., about twenty-two years ago last June, he spent a. good deal of time ashore. During Captain Ubery's first voyage in the Mikado he was presented by the American Government with a valuable chronometer gold watoh for saving a crew from their waterlogged ship, and on another occasion he resoned a Dutch crew who had Icfst their ship in the Indian Ocean, and had been se\eral dtiys in an open boat, when picked up by Captain Ilbery. Captain Ilbery used to correspond regularly with his old captain at Cardiff, the last letter he wrote to him being from Adelaide in June last. It was the captain's intention to retire from service at the end of this voyage, and to hand over the control of the vessel to Captain W. G. Ling- ham. his nerhew, who also spent his appren- ticeship with Captain Fowl err.
.MAORI WRECK SURVIVORS. I
MAORI WRECK SURVIVORS. I The Aberdeen Hner Miltiadee has arrived at Plymouth, having on hoard fifteen sur- vivors of the wreck of the liner Maori, which went ashore near Cape Town on August 5 Second-engineer Marwood, in an interview, said that at the time of the disaster he and I the fourth engineer were asleep. Awakened by the crash, however, they made their way to the engine-room, and joined the chief engineer. Orders were given to go hard astern, and then all messages from the bridge ceased. They stood by confidently awaiting instructions, but received none. After same time a refrigerating engineer made his I appea-rance, and informed them that the boat-s had put off; so the staff made their way to the poop, where they remained from two a.m. on Thursday until Friday evening. Their sufferings were very great, as they were without food, and only had a very little water. Moreover, they were washed by the heavy seas and chilled to the bone. Their rescue was effected by the rocket apparatus. Questioned as to the cause of the wreck, the seco-nd tftgineer said, The Cape Coast is the worst in the world. It. is ridiculous to'talk of wireless telegraphy. If money were spent in providing lights it would save many a go-od ship. The absence of lights was the proba.ble cause, but this will never be cleared I up, as all who were on deck at the time are dead."

TRAIN-WRECKERS. I NEW YORK, Saturday. I The di-iver and the goods guard were killed and twenty pa.sen,gers were injured in the wreck to-day of the "Royal Blue'' express on the Pennsylvania Railway, 71ea.r Newcastle. It is believed that train robbers loosened a rail in order t.o wireek the train. The car- riages ca.ught fire, but the flames were extin- guished with hand grenades. The stoker pluckily stuck to his post and put on the brakes when ha saw that derail- ment waa inevitable, and this undoubtedly was the saving of many lives. The officials believe that the wreck was inspired by the successful robbery on the Pennsylvania train at Lewiatown on Tues- ,day, but that the miscreants were seared away by the completeness of the wreck. A reward of £ 5,COO sterling is offered for the a.rrest, Observer."

Three hours later all the shops and dwelling-houses were gutted, and Dr. Taylor's house adjoining was attacked. The damage is estimated at £ 15,000. The fire broke out in a cellar. Goods had to be removed from five large residences adjoining. —

Boy Scouts Parade ■P
Boy Scouts Parade ■ P KING'S STIRRING MESSAGE There was a muster of 11,000 Boy Scouts at the Crystal Palace on Saturday on the occa- sion of the first annual parade. The boys came from all parts of the kingdom, and assembled in the great hall of the palace for a, general parade before General Baden- Powell. It had been intended to hold the review on the terrace, but the rain made the officer in charge of the march-past, Lieu- tenant Russel Reaves, of the Legion of Frontiersmen, decide to hold it under cover. When General Baden-Powell took his place on the platform the boys. with slouch hats raised in the air on their scouting-poles, gave him a vociferous reception. This is our first meeting," said the general. I hope we shall have many mo-re, and larger ones. We are quite big enough to begin with, and we shall have a bigger one next year. There are two kinds of people, workers amd shirkers. You are the workers, not like the little boys who belong to the monkey patrol.' Like you, I have a mother, and it is her birthday to-day. She looks upon me as her son, and upon you as her grandsons. (Cheers.) I am going to send a telegram of congratulation, and if any scout ¡' would like to join me in it, let him put up his pole. (Eleven thousand poles were up- raised.) General Baden-Powell then read the follow- f ing Royal message:— I The King is glad to know that the Boy Scouts are holding their first annual parade. Please assure the boys that the King takes the greatest interest in them, and tell them that if he should call upon them later in life the sense of patriotic responsibility and happy discipline which they are now acquiring as boys will enable them to do their duty as men, should any danger threaten the Empire. Great cheering followed the reading of the letter, to which the general read the follow- ing reply — Eleven thousand Boy Scouts assembled at Crystal Palace present their humble duty and thank his Majesty -the King for his gracious message, which will be a great incentive to them to prepare at all times to perform their duty to King and country before all. Messages of goodwill were also read from Lord Roberts and Lord Charles Beresford. The march-past was the most impressive event of the day. The general stood at the base of the orchestra. A military band played marches. For half an hour or more the boys marched past, each boy holding his pole stiffly at the salute, and his eye turned correctly to the right. To every patrol the general gave the true scouts' salute. A Smart Patrol from Cardiff I Among the smartest patrols of Boy Scouts present was that representing the 1st Cardiff Troop. They arrived early at the palace, under Scout-master Charles Gray, and num- bered 25 boys, being one of the largest parties in the grounds. Among the events in which they took part was that of rcaster- at-arms," an interesting display of boxing, wrestling, and quarter-staff fighting.
