The features of the list are a magnificent contribution from the work- men of Messrs. Vivian and.Sons; further capital results of the Churches' Sunday efforts; and other demonstrations of the great helpfulness of the boxes whit:h pro- prietors of amusement houses, licensed houses, restaurants, etc., have been good enough to have placed in their premises.

Letters have gone out to the men of all these concerns, ask- ing them to do a littlft for the fund, and wo have little doubt they will respond as all the other works in Swansea.

This (Tuesday) morning, each member of the Association has received a circular asking them to start a little fund in each estab- lishmeht. The officials anticipate a hearty and gonerous response, and it if possible that by the time these lines ap- iieBr, we may be, able to supplement them ?.' a Uae of early responses to the circular. GRANTS—AND THANKS. The last batch of grant money orders irjjl lie sent out baforp the evening close* It i possible that some war widow w "i be overlooked, although the scrutiny hisS been very close this yar,but if any lias not received her contribution by the second post to-morrow will she make in- quiry at the "Reader" Office, bringing fnU information "and papers? It must he clearly understood, however, that the fund is confined to the borough, and is for widows of soldiers who have fallen in the war and mothers totally dependent on the earnings of fallen sons. Letters of thanks from those who have t already received money orders make touching reading. One says she will find the money very useful just now. Another ttends Christmas greetings to the hon. secretary and the band of workers, and assures them her grant will be well spent.

FIVEUVESLOST
FIVEUVESLOST Terrible Fire in a ) Cardiff House. I Family Tragedy. Cardiff, Tuesday. A shocking fire occurred at Cardig early this morning, in which five persdns, mem- bers of one family, lost their lives. The fire broke out at a dwelling-house in Brook-street, occupied by a family named Morgan. The alarm was given about 6 oclocli, and before the arriTal of the Fire Brigade the neighbours, who had been roused by the cries for help, had made gallant efforts to effect the rescue of some of the occupants, who had clambered to the roof. A high wind was blowing at the time, and the flames spread with great rapidity. one of those in danger was rescued by a civilian, who obtained a ladder. When th. Brigade arrived the whole house was a mass of f[ames. Fkfcman Kirlv, when informed that. therere people still in the building:, pluckily mounted the escape and climbed through the flames to a window, from where he could see two bodies lying on the floor, and another two, presumably, dead, lying -on the bed. Just as he was about to enter the floor collapsed, and the whole contents of the bedroom fell right through to the cellar. Those who died as the re- sult of burns or suffocation, were: Mrs. Sarah Morgan (53), widow. Mr. Charles Morgan (24). Mrs. Victoria Morgan (23), wife of Mr. Win. Tf(-.nri, ,Morgan. Edith Morgan L, (16), daughter of Mrs. r" li Morgan; and Rose Morgan (12 months), daughter of Mrs. Victoria Morgan. Three other members of the familv were injured, one seriously, and are in hos- pital.

-._- ___-_ -BISHOP GORE.
BISHOP GORE. An Interesting Page in Swansea History. I The members of the t J tide's Church oi England Men's SocietV were given a delightful lecture on Monday evening, when Mr. P. J. Burton (Sketty) spoke to them on Some Local Churchmen of t-he late Middle Ages," Mr. R. Curtis presid- ing. Air. Burton, who had evidently devoted much time to the study of his subject, dealt principally with Henry de Gore, who filled the See of St. Davids folue 00 years naro. CHANTRY HOSPITAL. I The first notice of Bishop Gore in our local, records is in connection with the founding of a Lliantiy in Swansea Church for the maintenance, of three or four chap- lain&, who shall celebrate the Divine rights daily and for the support of a number of poor men to whom the chap- lain* are to minister. In Christmas week of the year 1331 a jury of Welshmen, with three Englishmen, was empanelled to con- sider the request for the founding of ihe Chantry, and who granted the Bishop's request. The declaration of the Bishop's plans was made in the following opening words: In the name of the Most Gioriows and Undivided Trinity, Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost, Amen. We, Henry d I Gore^ by Divine permission Hi?hop oefl Menevia, conndin? 10 the goodllMS ? the I Supreme Bestower of goods?and fully re lying on the Grace o? Him who directs hnd disposes the desir.œ of n?n according,, t? Hia wiU <tB?o gtod/* The ?C'mes of th? Chantry *pro niet by various grants ri&de by the Bisbop, amounting in all to 17 houses, 4:iO acres of land, two fishing pool's (then of greaf valiie)* and certain ferry rights. So nobly instituted, and generously endowed, the Chantry Hospital started on its career. The history of chantries, said Mr. Btir- i ton, is still to be written, but it will be I gathered frpm the name, as well as from the Bishop's statute, that their primary .object was to chant or singj the divine I office for bothivjng and deed. Swansea Chantry had the inrthtr particular duty I of looking after the s|ck and feeble pen- sioners. ARCADE TO THE CASTLE. I Certain other work of the Bishop was ■ spoken of-the building of an arcade z the 8WRD&ta Castle, which marked the transition from a fortress to a dwelling place; the building of the Bishop's Palace at St. Davids, later to be dismantled to provide dowries for the daughters of Bisho-p Barlow, a • later Bishop of St. j Davids; and the extension of the Catho* « dral. Here in Swansea, the pious work j which ho foundao was fostered and j cherished by other churchmen, and our I next local record tells-how in the year 1367, John of Swansea, with the aid of the Abbot of Glo'ster, was able to continue the good work. Peter de, Ja Beere also! made bequests to the hospital in hi a will dated 1343. It is melancholy to reflect, said Mr Burton, what became of all this wealth of piety and' generosity, and .quoting from, Mr. Dillwyn's history, showed that the hospital #iad disappeared so utterly that I its very site i$now unknown. The great I' 1 pillage initiiTtcd by Henry VIII. vas the cause of much damage and robbery of these chantries and hospitals, and Sir George Herbert was arraigned as the chief ^Swansea robber. • )

15,000,000 IN NOTES BURNED. I Treasury notes to the value of £ 5,000,(X)0 are reported to have been destroyed by fire last week. This unprecedented bonfire was a deliber- ate act, but it did not represent a mag- nanimous gift to the Treasury on the part of an eccentric n :llionaire joyously resolved to burn 5,003,000 pounds worth of promises to pay, nor did it entail a penny loss to any one, apart from the, cost of printing the notes themselves. The notes were burned in a Government note-printing office. It is understood that they were notes of a low denomination not yet issued, and that the reason for their destruction was that they bore the signa- ture of Sir John Bradbury instead of that of Sir Warren Fisher.
