DOWLAIS CHILD MISSING. An Eleven Year Old Boy Mysteriously Disappears. Mrs. Martha Owen, of 22, Cross-street, Dow- lais, applied to the Merthyr magistrates on Wednesday for assistance in endeavouring- to discover the whereabouts of her child, William I James Owen, aged eleven, who had been missing from home since the 19th inst. She said th&t the boy left the house at 8.30 on the morning of the date mentioned with the ostensible intention of going to school, and it was afterwards found that he had taken away his best clothes, and pawned them at the shop of Mr. Joseph Harpur. The stipendiary referred the applicant to the members of the press. The child has light hair and dark eyes, and when he disappeared he was wearing a dark plaid cloth coat, corduroy knickerbockers, a dark cap, and brown woollen stockings.

BRISTOL THEATRE ROBBED. Thieves are Smartly Captured by Cardiff Detectives. I An exceptionally smart capture was made by I Detectives Stephens and Davey, of the Cardiff Police-force, on Wednesday morning. The offieers were at the Great Western Railway Station meeting the ten o'clock train from Bristol, when they noticed two men carrying- bundles and who seemed to be acting' rather suspiciously. They followed, and took the men into custody and escorted them to the Central Police-station. There they gave the names of John Blake and Thomas Smith, and said they were Bristol men, who had come to Cardiff to find work. Their bundles, they averred, con- tained their working clothes. On being searched, one man was found to be wearing a couple of pairs of trousers, in the pockets of which were some stage trinkets. &c., whilst both bundles contained a varied assortment of ladies' clothes and new boots. The Bristol police were telephoned to, but had not received a report as to the loss of the property described, but the men were detained, and about an hour later a message was received from Bristol to the effect that the Old Theatre, King's-road, had been broken into during the night, and the articles found on the men taken away. Later in the day the Bristol police received the prisoners, who will be taken before the magistrates in due course.

RETURN TICKETS. An Important Private Bill Introduced in Parliament. A Bill has been prepared and brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Alpheus Morton, Mr. Bousfield, Mr. John Burns, Dr. Clark, Sir John Leng, Mr. Lloyd Morgan. Mr. Picton, Mr. Proyand, Sir Albert Rollit, and Dr. Tanner for the purpose of enabling passengers in railway trains and on steamboats, &c., to make use of return tickets at any time after the date of issue. The Bill, which is a short one, enacts that (1) this Act may be cited for all purposes as the Railways and Steamboats Return Tickets Act. 1894 and (2) from and after a date to be fixed by erder of the Board of Trade, and sub- ject to such exceptions, if any, as may be allowed by such order, every passenger ticket issued within the United Kingdom by any railway company or by any steamboat company or pro- prietor running boats in connection with railway trains for a return journey by such trains or boats shall be available at any time after the date of issue.

GALLANT SWANSEA BOY. He Rescues a Drowning Lad at Rosario Harbour. News has just reached Swansea of the gallant conduct of Charles S. Whvatt, second mate of the barque Foxhound. It appears that whilst the Foxhound was being loaded at Rosario. for Swansea, a little boy fell into the dock, when young Whvatt nobly dashed after him. and after considerable difficulty, when both their lives were endangered, he succeeded in resetting the drowning lad. Whvatt. deserves every praise for the true British pluck he displayed.

IN BARRY ROADS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING EXPRESS.' Sir,—Surely, the fate of the Vanduara must re-call that of the gallant four-master, the Drumb]air, which blew ashore on the rocks at Sully Point a few years ago. In this case also it was reported that she "dragged her aneho •< in Barry 'Roads." The fact is, "Barry Roads" is a misnomer. Until the influence of mighty capitalists dubbed it "Barry Roads," thus in- timating that vessels might ride at anchor there safely, no seaman who knew this roast would have* anchored a little ketch in such an unsafe o-round, and now, forsooth, to bolster up the Barrv Dock and Railway, there are Barry pilots who run the risk of losing human lives and thousands of pounds of underwriters' money bv anchoring big vessels jn Barry s so- called "roads." How many vessels ^hieh drag their anchors there are saved in the nick of time, I wonder'/—I am. <fec., CALL A SPADE A SPADE.

LOCAL VITAL STATISTICS, During the week ending the 24th inst. there were 111 births and 52 deaths in Cardiff. The de&th? included 16 infants under one year and 14 persons aged 60 and upwards.

In Swansea there were 50 births and 26 deaths, the latter including 3 infants and 6 persons I over 60. There were 2 from measles, 1 from'' fever, and 1 death in a public institutiaa. 1

SUNDAY GOLFING AT PENARTH Father D'Huist of Barry Champions the New Movement. Perceiving in the "Evening Express" on Wednesday that some of the Sunday ,-roif- players at Penarth. were described to be Roman Cthaaiies. and indulged in the game after attending morning service, a reporter of the Evening Express" called upon the Rev. Father Em. D'Hulst, the new clergyman of the Barry Dock Roman Catholic Church, at the Presbytery, Cadoxton, during the day for the purpose of ascertaining his views with regard to the new Sunday move- ment. In the course of conversation. Father D'Hulst, who is a native of Belgium, and, therefore, fully accustomed to Continental life, said he would be sorry to encourage indulgence in anything that was bad on the Lord's Day. but who was to determine what was good and what was bad ? Who was to say whether golf- playing and such innocent games were sinful or not on the Sabbath? Personally, he saw no harm whatever in games of the kind, whether played an \V..ek days or. Oil Suitd».y. The gentlemen at Penarth attended Divine Service in the morning, and he certainly questioned the right of a few individuals to set themselves up as censors, and to say that it was a sin to indulge in a game of golf on Sunday afternoon. He (Father D'Huist) was, no doubt, imbued to some extent with Continental customs, but he very much doubted the courage of those who ventured to say the Continental conscience was altogether bad so far as the observance of the Sabbath was concerned, and that the English conscience was altogether good. At the same time, he would not oare to introduce practices into this country which were contrary to the customs of the people.

[The "Connecting Link." SOMETHING VERY MUCH LIKE HERE. landor s Description of the Ugly Hairy Ainus the Oldest Race in the Northern Hemsphere. j Some new light on the most primitive of | primitive races in the northern half of the earth has been given to the world by A. H. Savage Landor, an Englishman who made a visit to Hakodate, which is on the islaad of T. ezo, and is the northern treaty port of the J apanese islands. There he found some queer specimens of semi-human kind known as the Hairy Ainu. The Ainus are probably the "lowest down" in the scale of humanity of any- living raee. Mr. Landor had hc-ard that, uo solitary traveller could possibly make a vvr of the island, but he succeeded in doing so, and gives some interesting e-Uiiologica4 faois in a narrative published by him "Alone with the Hairy Ainu. The Airsi is described as having no similarity whatever to the Japanese and Chinese type of men. The oolour of the skin is light reddish-bros?n. The eye Í6 particularly contrasted to the Mon- golian eye. having a similar form and sett-iiig to that of North Europeans. The haarr- ^kin is supposed to indicate a northern origin. The eyes are very impressive and show the emotions in an interesting way. In adults A*F AINU MAN. the hair is black, wavy, and iaolined to form large curls. The emotions are expressed by slight changes of posture or gesture, but the Ainus do not care to show their feelings: lhey have no sense of shame, and even fear appears hardly known w them. Their history for the last 2,500 years » to a certain extent known. They were supposed at one time to ha.ve occupied the Japanese archipelagoee and to have been driven to Yezo, when they main- tained their independence until the ninth cen- iurv. it-leu becoming subject to jH-pa-n. fierceness gradually IOLL them, and t-hoy now a,mong- the most peaceable and submissive of tlie earth's inhabitants at Yezo. ri Ueir number is estimated to be about 17,009. Tlbe women do most of the hard work, but the men when hunting can walk forty Hiiies a day with. out fatigue, although they usually prefer to ride, ponies being plentiful and of a good breed. In moving a load or heavy object the Ainus never push. but always pull tow&rds them. They appear to use the feet and toes very freely to help their ruvnds and fingers. and they readily employ their teeth, preferring to pull with the teeth than the hand when art unusually heavy haul is necessary. Their appearance struck Mr. Landor as exactly like AN AINU WOMAN. the re-oonstructionp of the primitive man -at Northern Europe, aDd many of their move- ments re-called those of the anthropoid apes, which are tlie only creatures that have been thought of as the possible "connecting link" between men and their fellow animals of a lower grade. They are an extremely Mlthy people, both in their persons and huts. They seem to have an acute sense of smell, dis- tinguishing between the odour of an English- man and a Japanese, but oblivious to their own very marked perfume-an intensified form of the "peculiar odour of an uncleaned monkey's cage." The sense of touch is singularly de- fective, and even when the extremes are painful they cannot distinguish the sensation of heat from that of cold. Their hearing is very acute. They are small in stature, although larger that the Japanese.
