Socker Game at Swansea I RUGBYITES CURIOUS AND INTERESTED. They Should Turn Up in Foree en St. Helen's Ground to See the Professionals Play. Westerners are getting a good bit interested in the international match that is to take place on the St. Helen's Ground, Swansea, on Satur- day, February 24, and seTeral have written me asking what sort ef a match it is going te be. Of course, a. good deal will depend on the weather, and if the Welsh team turn eut as selected. Given a fine da.y, and the selected Welsh eleven are seen on the field, it should be far and away the prettiest match we have ever seen in South Wales. Of course, we have to remember that the WeLah eleven are for the most part professionals —Welshmen now em- ployed as players by the big English organisa- sations, such clubs as Everten, &c. Therefore, we can rest assured that in the matter of talent we shall see some of the best players in the kingdom down here. With a full team Wales ought to win very, very easily. I cannot at present reply to questions as to excursions, &c. but I have no doubt the Welsh secretary, who I mentioned on Wednesday was down here, has made that all right, and in due course we shall hear what haa been done in that direction. By the way, will Mr. Sandiford please accept my thanks for the club colours of the Cardiff A.F.C. It looks as if Gus Gould is going to follow in the feotsteps of his more famous brother Arthur, and make a. name for himself as a. centre three-quarter. The critics were very much taken up with him in the Liverpool match, and I see he is down to do duty for the Usksiders against Swansea on Saturday. Well! Well I suppose it's like wooden legs, it runs in the blood. The fifteen chosen to represent Newport will be --Back, T. England three-quarter backs, W. G. James, A. J. Gould, Gus Gould, and C. J. Thomas; half backs, M. Hannen and F. C. Parfitt; forwards, J. HanneR T. C. Graham, W. H. Watts, H. T. Day, H. Packer, T. Peok, J. Bowley, and W. Groves. When the Halifax team were on tour in South Wales they went into ecstacies over the kind- ness and hospitality shown them at the Grand Hotel, and many letters have reached mine host from the Yorkshire town thanking him and pro- mising another visit. I saw some of the Northern pressmen get a bit mixed when they were down here, but usually the funny impres. sions derived from a little tiddly-hi-ti appear less glowing when the head resumes its noraaai dimensions in a, day or two after. However, the impressions taken away by one of the Northern pressmen are a bit flattering to us, so listen to what he says of the pack:—" The Halifax party were also well pleased with the surroundings of the hotel, the well-appointed Cardiff Cricket and Football Grounds being immediately in front, bounded only by the better class houses of the wealthier Cardiff citizens." Jusso! i Mr. Harry Wheeler has taken unto himself a pub., and now, I presume, the Griffin Hotel, St. 1 Mary-street, is to be chronicled as another of those places where cyclists, footballists, and athletes in general do congregate. Well, he 1 has been a very active participator of sport in the past, and especially in assaults-of arms, the majority of which in Cardiff have been put forward under his smart organisation. The cycling ear- nival, the infirmary festival, and many othor classes of sports have derived much benefit from his valuable help, and I trust they will do so in the future. It's funny how spertsmen do turn to pubs. I suppose it is because the boys of the old, old school are met and the battles of the past fought out over again. I wish Mr. Wkeeler every success ia his new under- taking. Professer Chivers, who is doing an exhibition roller skate this week at the Panopticen used to be the champion of the world at his game, and in the international contest at Berlin, some years back, he covered ten miles in thirty minutes, winning the championship medal and belt, which were presented by the Emperor. The reco rd for oao mile roller skating is 2min. 56 3-5soc., made by F. Delmont at Olympia. on August 26,1890. Therefore to cover ten miles in thirty minutes Professor Chivers had to bustle along pretty lively on that occa- sion. I am hoping we shall have some good cricket in South Wales this season, but, although we do not object to two-or, at a pinch, three—days' matches, we must live in hope we shall never be treated to the style of game they sometimes have in Australia. The fifty-third intercolonial cricket match between Victoria and New South Wales, which Victoria won with three wickets to spare, extended over eight days. A protest has been make against such linked sweetness long drawn out," and the Autralian cricket authorities assert that intercolonial matches take up far too much time even when they are got through in four days. It appears in Australia they have a second adjournment at four o'clock, which cuts a lot of time to waste. Biackham's opinion (expressed te a writer in the Pall Mall Gazette) is that if cricket were conducted in the same fashion in England the crowd would be tearing up the railings round the ground, and wrecking the grand stands." An interesting game was played at the Sophia Gardens on Wednesday afternoon between the Cardiff Wednesday Star and Chepstow. The Cardiff back line proved much too good for the visitors, and mainly through their smart play the homesters were enabled to run out winners by two goals and three tries to nil. Oliver Sheere, of the Cardiff Northern, and Choppy Davies, of Llandaff, aided materially in gaining the victory for the Stars, the try which the latter gamed being a particularly smart perfor- mance. Will our English racing oracks who have emigrat.ed to Sunny France come ba-ok again (asks "Sport and Play")? At the present time most. of our crack racing men are located in Paris, and have expressed their determina- tion to stop there. But they may probably change their minds since the N.C.U, has shown its determination to do something for the men whom they have banished from the I amateur ranks. With such men out of Eng- land as A. W. Harris, J. W. Scholield, A. O. Edwards, A. V. Lintoti, A. Barden, T. War- wick. and others, there wall not be much en- couragement for promoters of sports meetings in this country to cater for cash prize riders unlees there is same kind of guarai>we thai the riders named, or at least the majority of them, will come back to England, and, like patriotic I Englishmen, support those who are ready and wining to include professional races in their sports programmes.

MINISTERS FALL OUT. Scene at a Swansea School Board Meeting. A very breezy discussion took place on Wed nesday at themeetingofthe Higher and Lower' School Board, Swansea..— Cemparing the merits of schools, the Rev. J. Davies (Cadle) declared that the school at Cadle was a better one than the National Schools at Cockett.- The Rev. D. Roderick: How do you know that?—The Rev. J. Davies: Of course I know it, and can prove it, too.-The Rev. D. Rode- rick said something protesting- this ma.n" on the baa.rd.-The Rev. J. Davies (warmly): Who is a man ? (Laughter.) Don't you imfer that I am not telling the truth, sir. I try to put down drunkenness, You don't preach against any sin in the world. No, Mr. Chairman, he doesn't preach against sin or any- thing else. He doesn't open his mouth.- The Rev. D. Roderick Who told you that ?— The Rev. J. Davies I know it.—The Rev. D. Roderick Don't show yourself such a fool- a fool in the estimation of the country. You showed yourself one before the magistrates. The Rev. J. Davies Don't you can any man a fool.-The Rev. D. Roderick You are a fool. -The Rev. J. Davies Wjp- have one of the largest Churches in the country, but you failed with the Wesleyans.— The Chairman: Order, gentlemen, please.-A good deal ef warm colloquy followed between the two gentlemen.—The Rev. J. Davies de- manded an apology, and the board voted against the use of such language as fool." —The Rev. D. Roderick said he would not apologise. It was worse to be called a thief, as he had been.—The incident then terminated.

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA. Penarth Man Tells some of the Hard- ships of the Campaign. Captain William Pengelley, of The Ferns, Penarth, has a son in Matabeleland, and has forwarded us extracts from a letter received frc-m his son. The extracts are as follow :— Buluwayo, Jan. 6, 1894. Subsequent to the reeoipt of my telegram from this place OB November 11 last, you must all be ausious for further news of me. Since I last wrote, which I tliinV was under cover of a friend of mine in Salisbury, I have been through rather a bad time, having had a severe attack of dysentery, owing to which I was quite unable to write. I went out on a patrol to the north after the King. We had a terribly rough time of it-rain every day, and, of course, no shelter. We had no blankets, only a great- coat, which soon became in a chronic state of soak. Worst of all, we ran short of all our grub," and had to kill and eat seme of our horses. We had plenty of fighting-were attacked four times, and several of our troops were wounded, but only two killed. I got dysentery while on the march, and you can understand what sgonies I suf- fered, having to ride and do duty through it all. At last we had to return to Shiioh, where reinforcements and provisions had been sent from Buluwayo. Our troop ("A") were ordered back, and only "B" troop, which had just come up from Bulu- wayo, went on with Major Fcrbes, Major Wilson, and the Victoria men and Raaf's Hangers. Of course, you have learnt through the lepers of the terrible disaster which befel these men. Kearly all "B" troop, with Captain Borrow, Major Wilson, and a. lot of his Victoria men, were wiped out by the enemy, 45 men in all, and all of them old Jviashona- land hands. Of course, I knew intimately nearly all the "B" troop, who belonged to the Salisbury Column, and I was very much cut up on learning the sad news. I have my- self been very ill in bed for over a month— not strong enough even to crawl. Thank goodness I am better now, though still very vreak, and T cannot yet eat any solid food, and have becj; existing- on milk ever since I've been ill. I never sawsnch a place as this is for flies. You can't do kiiiytliiiig for them Without exaggeration they are as thick as boes in a hive. The paper I write on is black with them, and were it not for a fine piece of muslin I hiive over my face, it would be utterly impossible for me to write, as they swarm for one's eyes directly they can got a chance."

FIRE AT CARDIFF. Flames in a Room at the Mayor's Residence. Police constable Rowland reported at Roath Police-station, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening that a fire had broken out at No. 67, Newport-road, the residence of the mayor (Councillor Trounce). The constable imme- diately went to the hnuse and found a back room upstairs full of smeke, and upon investigation discovered a portion of the floor and skirting on fire. He thereupon tore up a portion of the floor, and was able with a few buckets of water to extinguish the fire. The damage dane was not very considerable, but a chiffoiiiiiere in the room was destroyed. The fire appears to have originated through a. flue leatiing fiom a boiler to the main chimney becoming over-heated.

HIS DEBUT IN GERMANY. Ben Davies Gets an Enthusiastic i Reception. Truth says The fact that Mr. "Ben Davies on his Berlin debut last Saturday created a big sensation, the small auuiencc at first receiving him coldly, but eventually rousing themselves to eathu.-iiasm and insisting 911 three enoeres. is mot at all t-urprising. Germany may be a musical country, but it does not possess a tenor of the beauty of voice of Mr. Ben Duties. Un- fortunately for themselves, our friends an the Fatherland do not hear many English vo"alists of the first rank., for the Germans are not very good paymasters, and more money can lie earned by singers in unmusical England. The small audience at Mr. Ben Davies's debut in musical Berlin is explained by the fact that the Germans will not accept an artist until his pretensions have been endorsed by the leading critics. And it is much the ssme in unmusical England. MtW:'f" lM:M!-r

"JACK THE RIPPER." The "Star "Continues its Story of the Human Fiend. The Star" of Wednesday, continuing its story about "Jack the Ripper," says:—"We know the Christian and surnafue of Jack the Ripper!; we know his present habitation; our representatives have se^n him, and we have in our possession a mass of declarations, docu- ments, and other proofs which prove his identity. We have even a facsimile of the knife with which the murders were committed, purchased at the same place. We are able to trace the whole career of the man who com- mitted these crime-s; we can give the names of his employers, their places of business, the term of his service there, and the incidents of his connection with them—incidents which clearly show that he was in the neighbour- hood of Whitechapel at the time when the murders were committed; that he developed tendencies even in his employment. of homi- cidal insanity; and, finally. he was at liberty and close to Whitechapel during all that period when the murders were committed, and that, these murders immediately came to an end -as well as other crimes of violence—from the moment, when he was safely under lock and key. But at this moment our readers must be satisfied with less information than is at our disposal. 'Jack t.he Ripper' has relatives; they are some of them in positions which would make them a target _fer the natural curiosity—for the unreasoning repro- bation which would pursue any person even remotely connected with so hideous a. mon- strosity, and we must abstain, therefore, from giving' his name in the interest of the:-e; un- fortunate. innocent, and respectable connec- tions. We are the more resolved to do so at this moment as a pathetic point in this otherwise hideous and awful story is the tenacity with which his relatives have clung to this awful type. They have tended him, nursed him, watched for him, borne with him with a patience that never tired, with a love that never waned. While lie has been out through the watches of the night on his fiendish work, one of them has sat up, waiting anxiously for his return—frightened at every noise-apprehensive of every possible form of mishap; in imagination, picturing this tiger who marched from crime to crime as some innocent, harmless, and helpless child in need of protection from the violence of others. In human history there is not a more remark- able case of the difference in the view between the relatives of a human being and the world '"Star" then givea certain particulars which, it claims, proves its statement, and promises further revelations to-day (Thursday).

M'U8IC AT CARDIFF. Grand Concert Attracts Crowds to the Park-hall. The second concert of the sea son in connec tion with the Cardiff Musical Society was given in the Park-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday evening. The programme embraced Men- delssohn's "Hymn of Praise," Gounods "Gallia," and Goetz's 137th Psalm. Madame Clara Samuel. Madame Wiliiams-Penn, and Mr. S. Masters were the principal vocalists. The "137th Psalm" and "Gallia" composed the first part, and the second was reserved for the rendition of the Hymn of Praise. lhe majority of the solos throughout^ were entrusted to Madame Clara Samuel, who sang in an artistic manner calcu- lated to win the approval of anyone who can appreciate the truest style of rendering Mendelssohn's, Gounod's, and Goetz s airs and recitatives. It is rarely that the piece bou- tary lieth the City" is given so completely in keeping with its character, and it is rarely that the solo Praise Thou the Lord" received equally brilliant interpretation, or The night is departing" is offered to an audience in a more impressive manner than it was by the gifted and accomplished artiste to whom it was en- trusted. Madame Clara Samuel and Madanio Williams-Penn gave I waited for the Lord with touching pathos, and the duet My song shall be always Thy mercy" by Madame Clara Samuel and Mr. S. Masters was rendered with the tenderest expression. Mr. S. Masters was better in "Sing ye praise" than in <! Then shall the righteous," and still better in ,v The sorrows of death," whilst Watch- man, what of the night ?" ^was a fine example of dashing vocalisation. The choruses were capitally sung. There was steadiness in the numbers, and given with excellent effect. It was pleasing to notice that although thfe vocal soloists received a fair share, of the applause, the chorus singing carried off some of I the chief honours of the evening. The band parts were played with power and spirit, and Mr. H. C. Tonking proved himself an excellent organist. All those who took part in the con- cert may he congratulated upon the success secured, and the large audience may be con- gratulated upon having been permitted to hear such a i'pk-ndid performance. Some of ths Dresses. Our lady correspondent writes -Madame Samuel wore a rich white brocade,^ with amber sleeves and flounce at the hem. Madame Penii was gracefully gowned iu very pale lavender brocade, with wide olive green velvet panels and bodice, puffed brocade sleeves, and deep cream lacs, and wore a bouquet, of fragrant tea roses and violets. There were some pretty dresses among the choir—a green silk and darker green Jilush, a white crepon with deep mulberry red velvet lappets, and a myrtle green velveteen with pale pink silk draped over the shoulders and bust of a low bodice. The blouse was to be seen in every imaginable colour and design. The hall was. very well filled indeed, though it was a pity the balcony seat occupiers had not grasped the fact that the concert began at 7.45, not 8.15.

For Catching Thieves.. POLICE IN POSSESSION OF A MAGIC POWDER. It Colours the Fingers "Blue and Makes the Thief His Own Betrayer. It is a good deal easier (writes a foreign corre- spondent) to catch a bird than a thief, and yet it is by no means enough to strew a little salt en ita tail, youthful traditions to the contrary not- withstanding. So rapid is the advance of civili- sation, hewever, and so ingenious are the appli- cations of science to our daily needs, that & powder has already been invented, and will soon be patented, which possesses the marvel- lous virtue of catching thieves. This is no mera figure of speech, but a plain, prosaic fact* which, when duly realised and appreciated, ought to obtain for its clever inventor a. jauch higher place among the benefactors of humanity than has been assigned to the German to whom we owe the blessings of gunpowder. The in. ventor of the magic thief-betraying particles is a Hungarian by birth, Schrodl by name, and a manufacturer of imitation jewellery" by pro- fession. He would never have dreamt, he says, of devoting his time to the studies which led te this remarkable result, had he net been, so te say, driven to it by the thieves themselves so tha.- it is one of the numberless cases in which neces sity is the mother of invention. Day after day Herr Schrodl made the unpleasant discovery that these light-fingered g'entry visited his shop. and evidently turning scornfully away from his brilliant imitation V sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, devoted themselves exclusively to the money-till, which they rified. All his endeavours to discover the identity of the unbidden guest or guests were unavailing. "I could not continue to exist on pure loss, said Herr Schrodl, so I applied to a professor of chemistry, Dr. Telek, who gave me a powder, with which I strewed the money in my safe every evening. This powder, if you touch it, coleurs your fingers blue; if yon try to wash out tht,) stain in water it only assumes a more intense hue. and it is whelly unamenable to the action of soap." The very irst morning after the" jeweller had placed a layer of this tell-tale powder on his money lie noticed the disappearance ef 80 crowns (about £3 5s.) from the partition destined to hold silver. Obviously the coins had been abstracted by a person well acquainted with the premiseg- most prooably by one of the men. Herr Schrodl at once summoned all his workmen, and ordered them one by one to approach a large water-basin and immerse their hands-a, sort of ordeal adapted to the humane spirit of modern times. Only one man evinced a strong reluctance to wet his hands he said he felt an inexplicable shyness of water—had been bitten in fact by sir dog or cat. But Herr Schrodl, having no fear of hydrophobia, insisted and the moment the bands of the backslider were moistened they changed colour to a dark blue. You are the thief," exclaimed the jeweller, where- upon the man tremblingly acknowledged hig guilt and was forthwith removed to the police- station. Herr Schrodl has given a quantity of the magic powder to the police, who, while very pleased with its never-failing action, object that it has one one fatal defect-it stains the hands of saint and sinner indiscriminately. If it would only restrict its colouring properties to the hands of genuine thieves it would be price. less. But if all the legal possessors of guldens, crowns, &c., go about the highways and bye- ways of life with hands dyed a, d¡¡.rk blue it will soon be as difficult as ever to distinguish be- tween honest men and thieves. But the police have always shown themselves an unapprccia- tive and soeptical body of men, who see thieves everywhere without the aid of any maries powder.
