LEICESTER TOWN CLERKSHIP. The Deputy Town-clerk of Cardiff is a Candidate. It !s a matter of sincere regret in Cardiff that Mr. F. O. Lloyd, the deputy town- clerk, is a. candidate for the vacant town- clerksliip of Leicester. This is, of course, a selfish, view to take of the matter, but Mr. IJoyd has, only himself to blame for that. He is such an excellent second to his chief, has so firm a grip on all the important and mi important matters connected with the town. and is withal so amiable in manner and sound in law, that the corporation would regard his departure as a real loss. He has grown up in the municipal buildings, as it were, and hflS lhus gaiiwd an experience which rttust be of value to him always, and which has cer- tainly made him a safe guide, as his lwal knowledge has made (him a sound adviser whenever he has been called upon to act 1T) the absence of the town-clerk. The post for which Mr. Llovd has applied is one of great importance, Leicester being a town a-s large as, if not rather larger than Cardiff; and set- ting aside all feelings except those of good- will towards Mr. Lloyd, the Cardiff public assuredly wish that he may be successful.

GREAT BICYCLE RIDE. Result of the "Pall Mall Gazette' Experiment. Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the test, the great relay ride to Edinburgh and back, carrying a "Pail Mall Gazette" dispatch, which Colonel Savile and the Cat-ford Club conjointly organised, was brought on Saturday to a suc- cessful conclusion. With rain falling in torrents throughout the greater portion of the outward and homeward journeys alike, and with roads either heavy and slow or slippery and dangerous with slime, it is remarkable that the feat should have been accomplished with even an approxi- mat-ion to the time as pre-arranged, yet the last pair of riders reached their destination—■ the "Pall Mall Gazette" office in Charing Cross- road—at 27 minutes past two on Saturday after- noon, exceeding the specified limit by less than two and a half hours. The journey into London was no better than the preceding stages, and the riders had two heavy showers to face, each arriving a mass of mud. Tlie entire journey, out and home, was 799i miles in length, and was accomplished, despite the awful weather, in 52h. 27min. Too much praise can hardly be given to the riders who severally undertook the stages, for their pluck and resolution in making headway against every conceivable- obstacle which wind, rain, and mud could place in their way. Colonel Savile must feel highly pleased with the result, and possibly the experi- ment may have practical sequences in the shape of greater utilisation of cyclists' aid on the part of the War Office, after the manner adopted by more than one foreign Power. DISPATCH TO EDINBURGH. The following was the outward message from the editor of the "Pall Mall Gazette" to the Edinburgh representative of that journal: — "Please embrace and feed and refresh and welcome in every way the bearers Of this dis- patch, and tell them how well they and their fellows of the relay riders of the Cat-fiord Cycling Club have ridden; and add tlie War Office will be a sadder fool than even it has been supposed if it does not take advantage of so good an example for national purposes." THE REPLY. The following was the reply:—"Edinburgh, August 17, 1894.—Tlie cyclists arrived here at 12.42 p.m. on this date. They were bespattered with mud from head to heel, which accounts for their losing time by the way, owing to the heavy roads. Your instructions to welcome and refresh them W6I'e attended to, but we left over embracing till they should have washed themselves. The enterprise of private indi- viduals now, as on many former oocasions, puts the lethargy of the War Office to shame, but red-tape officialism may, by-and-bye, learn the lesson which the Catfor$Club raid the 'Pall Mall Gazette' are giving them.

TAUNTON LANDLORD'S DEATH. Was Found Wandering About the Rhondda .Hills. During the latter ood of last week informa- tion was given to the Rhondda police of the disappearance of a man named John Cattle, the landlord of the Devonshire Arms, Taun- ton. It appears that Cattle had been on a visit to his son, who resides at Tonypandy, but on Monday he left, and nothing more was heard of him until Friday, when some colliers going to work saw a man, who wa.s afterwards identified as Cattle, barefobt and half-clad, jumping and running alx>ut the mountain side. Failing to capture him, they gave information to the police, and Police- constable Demaide. 0f Blaenrhondda^ with some difficulty, secured him and took him to the Pontypridd Union Workhouse. Here the poor fellow, who was by this time suffer- ing greatly from numbness and exhaustion, suocumbed on Saturday night.. It is be- lieved that the deceased had become demented.

« WESTERN MAIL" OUTING. A Pleasant Day Spent in the Forest of Dean. That delightful forest retreat, Speech House, Forest of Dean, was the locale selected for the annual wayzgoose of the Western Mail employes this year, and the weather being fine on Saturday—the day of the outing-a most enjoyable time was spent. The party, number- ing upwards of 60, left Cardiff by special carriage at 10.5 in the morning, and upon reaching Lydney Junction were met by Mr. W. Vincent Lamb, the genial and courteous traffic superintendent of the Severn and Wye Railway, which has just been acquired by the Great Western and Midland Railway Companies, and will probably be extensive used in the course of a few years. Mr. Lamb-, had arranged a special trip for the company,and, by means of a saloon carriage drawn by an engine provided for the ocr^n'trTr, "'enabled them to inspect the scenery between Lydbrook and Sharpness Docks. Subsequently the special carriages were merged in the train for Speeeh House Road, and the party were subsequently conveyed up the loop line to the Spruce Ride, I whence they started on a very pleasant 1 walk through the forest to Speech House. From Lydney to Speech House Road Mr. John Davies, manager of the line, travelled with the company. Upon arriving at Speech House luncheon was served, and an adjournment was then made to a field adjoining the hotel,where sports took place, Mr. E. H. Crafter (general manager of the Western Mail ") acting as judge aud Mr. T. 0. Davies as starter. The finals were as follow:— 120 Yards Flat Race Handicap.—1st prize, Canadian gold watch (given by Mr. Phil Phillips, jeweller, of Cardiff), T. D. Richards (11yds) 2nd, breakfast cruet stand, J. O. Phillips (14.rds); 3rd, pocket knife, E. Gilbert (9yds). ■ Smoking Race.-lst prize, toast rack, A. H. Parker; 2nd, albert and seal, F. W. Morfran. Boys' Race.—1st prize, pocket knife, D.

At 6.30 a recherche dinner was served in the old Speech-ha,ll by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Boyce, who, assisted by their son and daughter, made every effort to secure the com- fort and enjoyment of their guests. After dinner a short toast list was gone through, Mr. E. H. Crafter presiding and Mr. E. W. Morris (chief sub-editor) occupying the vice-chair. The usual loyal toasts having been duly honoured, Mr. W. E. Morgan in felicitous terms proposed" The Health of the Proprietors of the 'Western Mail.—Mr. E. H. Crafter, in re- sponding, apologised for the unavoidable absence of Mr. Lascelles Carr and Mr. J. M. Maclean.— Mr. Latimer Jones submitted the toast of The Literary, Commercial, and Meehauical Depart- ments," the responders being respectively Mr. J E. W. Morris, Mr. Wozencroft (for Mr. D. W. Thomas, secretary to Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co.. who was unable to be present), and Mr. J. O. Phillips. Other toasts followed. Songs were sung by Messrs. J. R. Long, J. T. Bickley, C. W. Brookes, I. Arnott, F. Wakley, and W. E. Morgan. Mr. Arnott accompanied. The return journey commenced at 9.10, Cardiff being reached at about 11.30. During the afternoon the party were photo- graphed by Mr. Walter H. Cox, photographer and portrait painter, 199, Bute-road, Cardiff. The stewards were Messrs. E. W. John, R. V. M'Intyre, T. D. Richards, and E. Williams, who performed their duties with great success, while Mr. J. Wozencroft made a most ener- getic and painstaking hon. secretary and treasurer.

LONDON WELSH CHOIRS. Entertained by the Rev. Hartwell Jones. Upon the invitation of the vicar, the Pie v. G. Hartwell Jones, formerly Latin professor in the University College of South Wales, the choirs attached to All Saints' and St. David's Churches took a trip on Thursday last to Nutfield, Surrey, where they were enter- tained to a sumptuous tea at the schools, fol- lowed by a promenade, through the pleasure- grounds of the principal residents and a short Welsh service in the church. After subse- quently fortifying themselves with refresh- ments a.t the Vicarage the party walked back to the Redhill Station, for London. The weather was decidedly inauspicious, but while the skv was clearing up the members sang a few Welsh songs, which the ladies assisting at the entertainment appeared greatly to appreciate. The party was accompanied by the Rev. T. Crowle Ellis, ohaplain of St. David's, and the Rev. D. T. Llewellyn, vicar of Beaufort, who undertakes the duty during this month of chaplain to the Welsh Clmroli of All Saints', Margaret-street.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET. Orders for Cruisers Given to British Shipbuilders. The launch of the Russian ironclad Admiral Sinvavjn and the laying down of the keel of the ocean cruiser Rossiya have again been postponed, this time to the end of the pre- sent month. Next spring the Russian Volunteer Fleet will be strengthened by the addition of three large cruisers, the Vladivostok, Kiev, and Vladimir, all of which will be built in English yards. Orders for the first-named vessel have been given to Messrs. Denny and Co., the well- known shipbuilders of Dumbarton, to whom the Russian Government give a great deal of their custom.

STRANGE DECEPTION. A Young Man Passes His Life as Woman. A Dalziel's Paris telegram on Saturday says An extraordinary story of a young man passing as a girl all his life until a month or two ago is just related from Treschatel, in the Alpine dis- trict. He was known by the name of Laura Berna.r, and came of a good family. Why his friends should have registered the child as a female, and subsequently kept- up the deception, is a matter of mystery. The young man is said to ha^'ff&ujid -the. companionship of the weaker sex v<syy peasant, and he would probably have continued to frequent the society of young women had- he not fallen in love. In order to woo and vriri the lady of his choice he declared his rrorer sex. The earlier years of his life were spent in a convent school, on leaving which he studied a cure for stammering, and subse- ^iantly- foiwdfd—a- -schoo^ for that purpose. This was so successful that in a 'few years he amassed 40.000 francs, and then decided to study medicine. With, this object he was entered as a student at the Grenoble School of Medicine a-s a woman, and to all outward ap- pearances was one. His features were dis- tinctly feminine, and nothing in the shape of a moustache or whiskers was to be observed. In every way he comported himself as a. female, and seemed quite at ease in the character he assumed. The only thing that might have betrayed him, perhaps, was a slight suspicion of the masculine in his voice. This, however, was scarcely sufficient to attract special notice. For some weeks past the young man has been mar- ried, and as a husband he has already become acquainted with the hardships of the rougher sex, for, sad to relate, he is registered for mili- tary service in .1895.

A CORNISH DESPERADO. He Was Traced to Pembroke Dock and to Cardiff. Henry Pearce, of Mevagissev, who prides him- self on the name of "Sir Stafford Northcote," and who is a well-known character, was on Friday brought up at the Town-hall, St. Austell (before Sir 0. B. G. Sawle and Mr. A. Coode), charged with assaulting Police-constable Rowe, of Meva- gisaey, on the 23rd of June last.—Police-con- stable Rowe stated that when he saw Pearce he was very drunk and using bad language. Wit- ness went towards prisoner, who threw a bucket of water and the bucket at him. Prisoner de- camped, and when witness followed he drew a knife from his pocket, saying "I will put it in your —— heart." Witness again endeavoured to apprehend him. Prisoner threw a stone at him, and jumped over the quay into a boat, in which he made his escape.—Prisoner denied the evidenoe, and said his family for generations had not had a lmife. lie was an Englishman, and could use his hands, and it was a good job for Mr. John Tremavne, of Heligan, that he was. Mevagissey people did not care about Sir Charles Sawle, but he (prisoner) did, and he was willing to be tried by him. If he was to be tried by Mr. jLakes, he would get it.-After strongly reprimanding the prisoner, Sir Charles sen- tenced him to six weeks' hard labour.-Pearce was then charged with keeping a dog without a licence, and was fined 15s. and costs, or seven days. He preferred imprisonment.—Prisoner belongs to the Royal Naval Reserve. and his apprehension was effected through the efforts of Inspector Nicholls, who traced him to Ply- mouth. thence to Pembroke Dock, then tQ Cardiff and Belfast, and eventually to Ports- mouth, where he was apprehended.

YACHTING. Another Match had to be Abandoned on Saturday. To the great disappointment of many ashore and afloat who assembled to witness the pri- vate match between the Britannia and the Vigilant, off the Isle of Wight on Saturday, the American cutter lost control of her centre- board at the starting point, through a defective chain, and the match could not be sailed. Lord Wolverton has withdrawn his offer of a £100 cup trophy, and the fixture will now, probably, be finally abandoned. Among the notable per- sons who assembled to witness the race were the Prince of Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Lord Ashburton, Ac. In proceeding to Southampton for examination in the dry dock the Vigilant grounded, but was towed off without having sustained damage.

? Musn't Shake Hands' BAKU MEDICOS SAY IT SPREADS DISEASE. An Anti Society has been Formed thera* but the Ladies are Up in Revolt. The St. Petersburg correspondent of tlIfJi "Daily Telegraph" contributes an article de- scribing in a satirical and humorous vein the doings of a society formed at Baku for the pur- pose of bringing about a cessation of the prac-i tice of handshaking. There was a meeting of burghers addressed by a physican upon the means by which disease is propagated :—"Is it- true, then," inquired a burgher, "that shaking hands with one's friends is a dangerous prac- tice?"' "Dangerous is no name for it," replied: the man of medicine; "it is criminal, suicidal. Would you take in your hand an unclean object. teeming with cholera bacilli?" "No, no," reo. plied the meeting unanimously, "not if we knew it." "Very well," concluded the scien- tist, "neither should you grasp any man's handi unless it has just been thoroughly disinfected. For in this ease you may have to do not merely; with one kind of spores, but with a general assortment of them, which even the faculty is; powerless to grapple. Shaking hands should, be punished by law." Considering that Russian.' law has as yet made no suitable provision for the crime in question, and, further, taking into account the difficulty, amounting to an impos- sibility, of disinfecting every man's digits be- fore entwining them in your own, the ingenious citizens of Baku at once devised a third alter- 't native, which is certain to meet the approval of the individualist school in England. Ko- body is compelled to shake or squeeze, or to refuse to shake or squeeze, his neighbour's hand by way of testifying his friendly fieel-, ings. But every person who respects science, and has a wholesome fear of bacilli, will, in Baku at least, be enabled to follow both these impulses by becoming an active member of the Anti-Shaking-Hands Society, which was founded by acclamation the moment the doctor's examination was completed. Eachi member of the new society, which is open to persons of both sexes, pays a subscription of six roubles a year, in return for which he is entitled to wear a little badge in his button- hole,as a sign and token that henceforth he will never again shake the hand of his fellow man, except by way of venting his vehement dis- pleasur?. Once every two or three months the names of all the members of this hygienic association will be pub- lished in the local papers, along with a. notice to the effect that their policy of "hands off" is the result, not of moroseness or misan- thropy, but of a disinterested love of cleanli- ness and an implicit faith in science. Should a/iy member, through forgetfulness or fear of displeasing a powerful neighbour or patron, fall back upon the anti-liygienic ways of his J „UUiesenerat« youth, he will be mulcted in the 4 sum of three roubles. The utmost liberty he may take in this direction is limited to the action described by the ]>oet:—"He laid his hand upon the ocean's mane, and played fami- liar with his hoary locks." The funds of the society, formed by subscriptions and fines, are to be applied to support a vigorous agitation against hand-shaKing under any circumstances- or pretext whatever, 'and in favour of a law to prohibit it under severe pa-ins and penalties.) The women of Baku—and not merely Baku, but of all Russia—are, however, in revolt' against the society. Says the "Telegraph": — The ladies, indeed, have just nublished their programme, and are determined to carry it through, or else to perish in the endeavour. The whole movement, they maintain, is absurd and ridiculous, both in its origin and its methods. Are we or are we not, they per- tinently ask, to handle parasols, canes, I and umbrellas? Are we to put cn our, boots and shoes by hand or by' machinery? May we take out our cambricM pocket handkerchiefs, wave our fans, adjust our halts, grasp our knifes and forks, and bring. our fingers in contact with our bread ? Are we to allow our maids to do up our hair ? In what, is a soft, white, pretty little female hand-of. which many a male admirer often. wished him- self the glove—worse than the brass handle of the door, which the Anti-shaking Hands Society allows its members to grasp with im-, punity? To make a long story short, the j female citizens of Baku are resolved not to restl satisfied with mere arguments, to which the; male skull seems impervious. They are about to take up the cudgels in real earnest, a.nd to oppose the new movement tooth and nail at eery one of its stages, and, should all else fail, to have recourse to arguments ad hominem. 43pt. all will not fail, and the petition which they are said to have just, forwarded to the Governor-General, praying him to dissolve the new society, may produce the wished-for result. If not, the ladies may console themselves with the reflection that the world beyond Baku is not in a mood to encourage the agitation of the new reformers, and that shaking hands and! kissing, however humble their origin, are cer- tain to outlive the criticism and the opposition of the Anti-Shaking Hands Society.

STARVED TO DEATH. Sad Fate of a Prima Dona in New York. The Soottish vocalist and elocutionist pro-, fessionallv known as Madame Osborne a-ndt privately as Mrs. George Poole has died under shxxHkinig oiroumstaowces in New York. Madame Osborne, who was a native of Max- welltown, studied in London and Leipsic, and in her earlier years appeared with greaA success in opera in Naples and Vienna. About ten years ago she was induced to go to New York, and there to marry. This WHS the preface to her renouncing the stage. Mis- fortune appears, however, to have overtaken. her, and, too proud to beg, she went from bad; to worse. Pupils at last failed her, and"she' was ejected from lodgings for non-payment of rent. For two days and- nights she wan- dered about the streets of New York with; nothing to eat, and without a roof to shelter her. Eventually lie went to the house of some compatriots, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dick- son, where she Nvti given food and a bed.! The next morning the poor unfortunate, woman was found dead, the result of exliaus- tion from heat and starvation. It may be recollected that something very like the saTrrft fate was accorded in New York to the eminent prima donna, Madame Ilma di Murska, wliq was rescued from privation only to die.
