"LITTLE FAMILY INCIDENTS." I — rfti I INVESTMENTS. CHANCELLORS SOUTHING REPLY TO I LOSii SALISBURY. I The Chancellor has a reply to Lord Salisbury in to-day's 11 H says. "I accept the late Lord Sal is- I bury's delimitation of his family boun- daries." Then he deal. with the improve- ments from Charing Cross to Totten- ham Court-road". Tho Metropolitan Board of Works proposed to take tlie Ila-nd. on either side of the street, ac- cording to their jisual practice, and m some way to lessen the cost of improve- ment by the increased value which the new street would give to the thoroull- i fare. But when the Bill oanie before the Committee of the House of Com- mons one great landowner on the line of route by his agents opposed the Bill, and claimed the tilsertioii of a claiise3 for his special protection, which pro- vided that the Board of Works should not titke one inch more of the land than was necessary for the formation of the street, and that he .v'lpuld have the frouts-ge along the whole iine of his pro- perty. Just consider what that meant. It meant, in the first place, that tins landowner was to have the fullest pos- sible price for his land. It was to be bought from him at its prospective value. to have compensation for severance. Prd th.(-n he was to have 10 per cent. for compulsory sale, and heaped np upon all this he was to have the enormous advant-age a.Dd profit which the turning of his property into the front land of a great thoroughfare would add to its vnlue." Fraud Upon Ratepayers." j A Tory member—Sir James M'Garel Hogg, chairman of the Metropolitan Board of AVorks—said in his place that if this clause were pre&sed it would im- peril all further metropolitan improve- ments, so greatly would it add to their cost; and another Tory member, Mr. Bates, the msmber for Plymouth, said the clause would be a fraud upon the ratepayers. Who do you think was the landow ner, the conduct of whose agents was stigmatized by Tory members in the language I have quoted? It was the Marquess of Saliisbury-tlie Pr-ime Minister of England. Had a Flutter. The second is the cike of another member of the ffe-miiy who was very horrified because he thought Ministers had "speculated" in the shares of a perfectly honourable commercial con- cern. That distinguished member of the Cecil family, when he held very high office himself, had a "flutter," to use another Cecilian phrase, in Whit- aker Wright's fradulent concern, and he certainly found on that occasion that public duty and private interest came into direct conflict. Perhaps he forgot that little incident when he in- vited the House of Commons to censure Liberal Ministers for "speculations" in shares. "Third Ceeilian Delinquency." I I now come to a third Cecihan delin- quency. My investment was in a com- pany which had no contract with the British Government, and which could derive no part of its profits from any such contract. But Lord Salisbury I must be aware that a Minister in the Salisbury Administrati-on-a relative of Lord Salisbury'wa.s a director as well as a shareholder of an important com- pany at a time when the Government of which he was a member were negotia- ting and putting through a huge con- tract with that company. Thai contract directly affected his own Department. As a director it was not merely his iu- terest but his duty to get the best terms out of the Government. Was there ever a clearer case of public duty and private interest clash- ing? And yet I heard another dis- tinguished member of the Cecil family, also a Minister, defending this conduct in the House of Commons. Why, if I went a little further back, I could de- monstrate how the very property which gives Lord Salisbury his only conse- quence in the State was acquired by methods which laid the greatest of the Cecils under suspicion of placing him- self in a position where his private in- terest and public duty conflicted. Family Incidents. I Lord Salisbury must accept the whole responsibility for dragging these par- ticulars onre more into the light of day, and I would suggest that the next time he and hi-S family presume to be "judges," to use his own phase, of the conduct of others i.n relation to their property, it would he just as well if they bore these little family incidents in mind.

I PASTORS A8D PEOPLE. I PASBIH U OFA COD 0 MAN. THE EMPTY CHAIR. For a little while, e have said "good- bye" to Mr. Thomas Harrison. Few kinder men evur breathed, few ever am-ong those we recognise as saitits have ever lived this mortal life 60 hope- fully, few stronger souls ever adven- tured the mysterious future that awaiU us all. Of ifr. Thomas Harrison's destina- tion there can be no manner of doubt it were absurd to suppose that now the frail garment of mortality is dropped, its wearer is any the less in Heaven than he was before. But while we may wondrously re-joice at this translation into light, the fact remains that Mr. Harrison s little niche, the place he so lovingly and labourisly carved in the heart of Swansea, is and must remain, vacant until that great consummation when, in the sublime! words of the apocalypia, God "wipes away all tears." I Sowing the Seed. Of his influence here we dare not speak; it is too vast. His greatest work lay in that most prolific field-the susceptible mind and heart of children. It was a true instinct that impelled the Band of Hope Union to persistently de- mand that he, and no other, should continue to be its president. Then what is to be said of those nigh 40 years of patient inspiration and instruction in the old Ragged School ? Grown men and women all over the world, many now holding high, influential, and re- sponsible positions, can give evidence ao to that. It was one of Mr. Harrison's lofty ambitions—which he did not rea- lise, though he came near it-to live to see one of the Ragged School boys Mayor of Swansea. There are several well on the way; Mr. Tom Merrells, I hear, is one. Nearly 200 letters, I yesterday heard, have been received by the family, among them a touching one from his life-long friend and pastor, Rev. James Owen, and many from men who specially had to do with Mr. Harrison in that com- mercial life which his character sancti- fied. Old Days Recalled. I I  I At "tne runerai men or every sphere and denomination in life paid tribute. It was a grief to Mr. David Meager that he could not attend, but he sent his son. The church gave its parish clerk, justice provided its J.'P.'s, and among the telegrams was one from Sir Alfred Mond, Bart., M.P. for Swansea, who wired from Beaulieu: Deeply regret to hear of the death of Mr. Thomas Harrison. My deepest sympathy with the family." And, turning up old letters, Mr. Tom Harrison, jun., has found an ancient note from Mr. Lewis Llewellyn Dillwyn, a name that will ever be revered in Swansea. It is dated from Hendre- foilan, Swansea, July 17, 1836:— Dear Mr. Harrison, Pray accept'my best thanks for the kind aid and support given me by you at the recent election in Swansea. Though the elections have, as a whole, ,-one against us, Wales has stood nobly by the Liberal cause, and I have but little doubt that, e'er long, Mr. Glad- stone's policy with regard to Ireland will again be in th eascendant. I am, yours truly, J. L. Dillwyn. 11 Take Off Your Cap!" I The iarniiy were ruuen moved by the great respect shown all along the route of the funeral procession, particularly by the little boys at St. Thomas taking off their little caps. One thoughtless lad had not removed hi6 cap. lie was nudged by another, "Take your cap off; it's Mr. Harrison's funeral!" Among the other treasures I was on Sunday permitted to see at Mr. Har- rison's old homo was an illuminated address once presented by the Band of Hope Union, and this may fittingly con- clude the present faint and inadequate appreciation of a great and good Man:- "T. H. Harrison, Esq. We, the Swansea and District Band of Hope Union, desire to express our appreciation of the many valuable ser- vices rendered by vou to the union since its inception in the year 1897. When we recall your many valuable services, our admiration and gratatude are pro- found. For ten years you have acted as our treasurer, and, when the needs of the union called, your purse has ever been at our command. As president for eight years, we have looked to you for leadership. Your wise counsels have guided us, your faith has inspired us, your courage has cheered us. The suc- cess of the cause has been largely due to the bright example you have set, and your unstinted love for the children has endeared you to them and us. We owe you much; but still feel that we can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal. We beg your acceptance of this address as a slight token of the esteem in which you are hcld, and pray and hope that God will long spare you and your dear wife for continued service with us for Him.

I Between the hours of 8 and 9 on Saturday evening last, three houses at: Lonias, Llansamiet, were visiteki by; diiriag burglars, who secured a fairly j good haul. AL the house of Mr. Joseph Jonet*: (Ehedydd Samlet) £ 20 worth was; .stolen, but it i.s fortunate that a safe which contained about £ 30 was left un- touched. Several articles of jewellery were stolen, including a gold watch and chain, lockets, etc. The thieves also decamped with a I gold watch and chain from Mr. John, Curtis's house, together with other minor things. At the house of Mr. Charles Smith, the burglars also succeeded in stealing jewellery, but a,t this house more damage wais done than the value of the articles stolen. The burglars effected an entrance through the windows and calmly switched on the electric light. However, footnrints of the culprits have been discovered, together with the footprints of a dog, and ic is hoped that a capture will ,soon be effected.

KILLED AT SEA. DEATH IF YOUNG SWANSEA MAN ON HIS HRST VQiAUE j A telegram was received this morn- ing by the relatives of il-. Geo.

Castlegarth, which left Swansea about five weeks ago, and it is believed he fell from the mast into the hold of the vessels being instantly killed. The vessel put in to Constantinople, where the body was carried ashore and buried. Mr. Matthews was well-knowD to a large circle at iSwanbQA, where he was well liked.

VAIUCOSE ULCERS 0,4 LIMB lOo, Churchill Rd., Norwich, Eng.— "I had seven varicose ulcers, one a large deep one, almost to the one, making my leg look completely raw. Tha uicer began with just a small red place, but in a few days was larger than a five-shilling piece, and then kept spreading with ever so many smaller ones breaking out around, so as to make the leg look almost raw with inflamma- tion. The discharge was awful, and the pain almost unbearable. My whole leg &oemed as if it wera on fire. *1 dreaded the nights coming, and could not bear my leg to be in the bed at all; I had to rest it ou a chair by the side. 1 could not sleep at all either night or day while it was bad. I could not get across the room without help, as I could not put my foot to the ground. It lasted eight weeks in .all in that terrible state, 1 had it treated but it broke out again I washed the raw places with tne Cuticur-a Soap and then spread a little Cuticura Ointment on a piece of rag and laid it over tho places I only used the Cuticura Ointment six weeks and now there are no signs what- ever of any raw places oi inflammation.

I CANGE UPSET. VISITOR'S XfiRBaV ESCAi E AT PORT fYNUN. There was an exciting incident at Port EJnon on Friday evening when a young gentleman from Trinity House, who had gone down to spend t,he week end at this popular Gower resort, went out in a canoe and had a very narrow escape from drowning. There was a strong sou' -west wind blowing with a I nasty swell which rendered boating, even by experienced hands, a dangerous practice. Mr. Billy Gibbs, the coxswain of the lifeboat, and a couple of other residents, watched the little craft for some time until she was nearly out of sight, and then saw her suddenly struck by a I squall and capsized. Knowing the diffi- culty of righting the canoe in such a sea, tha old coxswain promptly launched his; punt and rowing with all speed to the scene, succeeded in getting the young man into his boat. The assistance thus rendered was most timely, for it was getting dark, and the canoe was drifting rapidly out to sea. As it was, the young visitor was brought safely ashore, seemingly little the worse for his immersion. Mr. Gibbs-Ouf Billy as the people love to call him-has been instrumental at different times in saving over a score of lives, and is deserving of great praise for the promptitude with which be acted on this occasion.

CAPTAIN KILLED. PASSENGERS MUTINY AND SOLDIERS RESTORE ORDER. Twenty-one members of the crew of the West African mail steamer Bakana, which was wrecked at Half Assini, about 50 miles from Axim, on August 27th, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday evening on the Elder Dempster liner Falaba. According to the men's story, the Bakana, which had on board one saloon and 140 deck passengers, went ashore during a fog about 2 o'clock in the morning. There was a very heavy surf, and the ship's boats were very quickly washed away. The ship's light was seen from the shore, and efforts were made to rescue them by nisans of native boats. This couid not be done, how- ever. Mad With Panio. For several hours the seas chashed against the helpless steamer. The deck passengers, composed of natives going to different parts of the coast, went al- most mad with panic," said one of the lruen. Some of them ran up and down Ihe deck wringing their hands. Others taid down and moaned, while some took lifebelts for their own use. and left the crew without any." Later some of these men, when they found their lives were not in danger, bioke open practically every room in the ship. and got hold of spirits. lany quickly became drunk, and the file of native soldiers, in .charge of a white corporal, had to be brought on board to restore order. The mate, named Anderson, wa-s badly injured while on the bridge through a piece of wood striking him on the head. Captain Killed. I After being rescued, Captain Richard Williams, a native of Merthyr, was going to another steamer with an agent, when the boat capsized, and he was killed through being struck with some- thing. The agent was rescued by his black boys. The ship became a wreck, but the valuable cargo was saved.

Fra.u Agnete von Brauditz has passed the examination of the Danish mercan- tile marine at Copenhagen, and is now qualified to take charge of a ship as captain.
