MANCHESTER. CANAL. I Cardiff Cited in Support of Conversion I into Public Trust. The "Manchester City News" i" publishing a 'I series of articles advocating the conversion of the Ship Canal Company into a public trust, much on the same lines as the Cardiff Corpora- tion is moving for the transfer of the dock estates of the port to an elective und represen- tative harbour board. From the article, whioh I appears to-day (Saturday), we make the follow- ing extracts: "We approach at last a. practicaJ example, which bears more resemblance to our own case. The trusts so far parsed under review may be I said to have gradually developed from small beginnings to their present magnitude. In no instance did liev enter existence by the acquisi- tion and on the basis of a great dock system or a completed artificial waterway, like that of the Ship Canal. They made themselves what they are: they illustrate a process of growth rather than transformation. But in Cardiff, wiiere a harbour trust is even now in course of constr- i, we find a, body of public- spirited men proposwij to take over vast private undertakings, consisting of several dock estates, all admirably equipped and thoroughly orguxiised. It is 'a complete and yet a still growing prpperty, of an approximate value of between eey.en ni*i eight millions sterling, and i.tj suggests;4ft (jfeser ;Karrallel to the case of "the Ship Can^ftliaSatfyoflier liietance we have had to mention." The article then goes on to review the history of the Cardiff Harbour Trust movement, and concludes with the following observations: — "Here the main question was one of pledging the rates, and this is one of the contentious points which Manchester ratepayers may be called upon to form an orjinion on. It is by no means .a new point, as was shown by the information gathered from other trusts by the Cardiff Harbour Trust Committee. It is. how- ever, a procedure which has only in compara- tively recent years been recognised by White- hall officials, and then recognised to be at once heartily approved. It would be absurd to suppose, if it came to raising a public loan for the transfer of the Ship Canal to a tri'^t. that the credit of Manchester would not suffice as a security for the interest. Man- chester, however, is the chief mortgagee in right of its loans to the company, and, moreover, it would be the right,- if not the duty, of neigh- bouring municipalities to bear their share in guaranteeing the interest upon a debt which had been incurred for the advantage of the whole range of our great manufacturing dis- trict. The propriety as well as the value of pledging the rates of the district immediately concerned in the prosperity of particular har- bour or dock works, and thereby obtaining loans on easier terms than the port revenues themselves would secure, has been thoroughly endorsed by Lord Farrar in a com- munication to Mr. Robert Johnston, of the Cardiff Harbour Trust Committee."

LADY RECRUITING-SERGEANT. She had an Adventure with Charles Peace. The London correspondent of the "Leeds Mercury" says that Mr. Campbell-Bannerman may take heart. Although the recent reports on recruiting have been unfavourable, lie lia-s found a recruiting sergeant who may be the har- binger of success. This sergeant wears no uniform, flaunts no ribbons, waits at no public- house, and is, wonderful to say, a lady. Miss Gould has for many years been known for her work amongst the vilest in London, and has lately turned her attention to young thieves. Having got a hold of them, she never feels safe about them until they have accepted the Queen's shilling. The reason she gives is worth noting. It is not so much the industry and discipline as the severe way theft is punished among the soldiers themselves. Everything in the Army has to be paid for, and money is scarce: a detected thief is not usually reported, but when night comes he and a riding whip make the most intimate acquaintance. If other good workers in the same line follow Miss Gould, a knotty question will be solved. In the course of her work Miss Gould had a wonderful adven- ture and escape. Her house was for a time a refuge for all those who might be described as "down on their luck." One visitor excited in her a strange and unaccountable repugnance, As he was small and she was powerfully built, her dread of him seemed extraordinary. One night, in one of those intuitions which are- un- night, in one of those intuitions which are. un- accountable except oon the theory of the guar- dian angels, she felt sure he was secreted in the house. Search was made, and he was found in a cellar. "You had better let me go," he said, and was let go. A few days later a police inspector said, in interviewing Miss Gould on the matter. You did well to let him go, madam; the man was Charles Peace."

UNDER CHLOROFORM A Patient Succumbs at the Cardiff Infirmary. On Friday morning a married woman named Ross, 27 years of age, died under chloroform at the Cardiff Infirmary. It appears that the deceased had been for a few days previously an inmate at the institution, and early on Friday morning the house-surgeon administered an antesthetic, and the patient died before the operation was performed. The death has been reported to the coroner, and an inquest on the body will probably be held this (Saturday) morn- ing. ing.

CHANNEL STEAMERS. Messrs. Campbell Will Build Another Vessel for Excursionists. Although the weather during the summer has not been at all favourable for water excursions, yet the pleasure steamers running between Bristol, Cardiff, and Ilfracombe have done better than last year or in any former years. Messrs. P. and A. Campbell (Limited) are so satisfied with the development of the traffic that they are about to have another steamer built larger even than the Westward Ho for service, more parti- c"l rlv to from CFOiff. v fc_

DOWLAIS TRAGEDY. Conduct of the Prisoner Blissett at Swansea Gaol. Since his removal to Swansea Prison (says the "South Wales Daily Post") Samuel Blissett, on whom rests the awful charge of the murder of his wife at Dowlais on Wednesday week, has completely recovered from the effects of the long spell of intoxication which culminated in the tragedy now so familiar to our readers. He is.immured in the oell usually allocated to pri- sc&ers of his class while awaiting trial. He proves perfectly amenable to prison discipline, and is as quiet in every respect as he was before the sinister demon of drink turned his brain to frenzy. He is moderately well, eats heartily of the fare provided, sleeps soundly at night, and holds up as calmly and cheerfully as can be expected of a man in his grave position. He listens wth earnestness to the ministrations of the chaplain.

HONEST JOHN MORLEY. Against Lords-ia-ttoe -ComsHwe and Commons in the Lords. The story which Mr. Vesey Knox told the House of Commons on Thursday ought not (says the "St.. James's Gazette") to pass un- noticed, even though everybody is anxious to put the House of Commons and all its ways out of sight as quickly a.s possible. Brieily, it amounts to this, that Mr. Morley has blocked in the House of Lords an Irish Bill which passed through the House of Commons with the approval of all sections of the members from Ireland. The Bill was an innocent enough measure for converting a Treasury guarantee of certain light railways into a lump sum, which would have been used to reduce the charge of interest upon the lines. The Treasury strongly approved of the Bill, and Mr. Knox suggested that Mr. Morley's opposition was due to influence brought to bear by speculators in Dublin. But, whatever the explanation of the Chief Secretary's action may be, it is impossible not to be impressed with the spectacle of Mr. Morley utilising the House of Lords to defeat a Bill which the other House had unani- mously approved. Yet when the House of Lords rejects a Bill passed m the Commons by a bare majority, Mr. Morley demands its instant abolition.

AMERICA CUP. Lord Dunraven has Come to No Decision Yet- As there is a good deal of talk about the America. Cup, it may be well (remarks tha Sun") to say that Lord Dunraven has as yet come to no decision on the subject, though the chances a.re that be will make an attempt to wrest it from the Americans next year. If he intends to challenge the holders he must give them ten months' notice, and, as the race must take place before the end of September, he has still plenty of time.

TIN-PLATE TRADE. Settlement of the Strike at Gorseinon Works. News was received at Swansea on Friday that the strike at Gorseinon Tin-plate Works, which has kept 400 men idle for 26 weeks, has at last been settled. The men have decided to return to work on the same terms as those which are observed at Fa.irwood, Grovesend, and else- 1 where. The intelligence has been received with much satisfaction. ( ¡

ILLNESS OF MR. BREWER. Our London correspondent telegraphs: — On inquiry on Friday evening at St. George's- road, I was sorry to learn that Mr. Brewer, the t well-known engineer of the Taff Vale Railway, I had suffered a relapse. After the operation performed on Wednesday, inflammation and erysipelas .set in, and further medical advice had to be requisitioned. Dr. Bond, Dr. Stoner, a,nd Dr. Norton visited him several times on Fri- day, but though apparently there is no imme- diate danger, they regard the condit-ion of their patient as critical. On Friday Sir Morgan j Morgan and Colonel Morgan were summoned, at the instance of the medical advisers.

CREMATORIUM FOR LIVERPOOL. On Friday afternoon the Mayor of Liverpool laid the foundation-stone for the cremateHum. which is situated in close proximity to Cemetery, Liverpool. The crematoria, is similar in size to that at Woking. The principal object of the promoters has been to avoid any secrecy, and a raised gallery between the chapel and the crematorium will provide the mourners with an opportunity of witnessing the placing of the remains in the furnace, and, if desired, witnessing the withdrawal of the ashes, which will then be placed in what is called a I columbarium, or well-lighted crypt, capable of containing nearly 2,OCX) urns. As an alternative, the ashes may be buried in tbe ground adjacent I to the crematorium "0<

MADAME PATTI. Another Matinee Performance at Craig-y-Nos. At her private theatre, Craig-y-Nos Castle, on Friday. Madame Patti-Nicollni gave another of her delightful weekly series of matinee per- formances, the audience consisting of her pri- vate guests and representative families of the neighbourhood. The programme included the performance of a charming piece arranged by Mr. W. F. Hullev. musical conductor, entitled, "'Kathleen Mavourneen," in which Madame Patti appeared as "Kathleen," and gang the evergreen ballad, "Kathleen Mavourneen," with her accomplished taste and excellence. The Welsh workman, John Williams, in whom Madame Patti is interesting herself, and who possesses a remarkable baritone voice, also sang during the concert. Madame Patti commences her provincial tour at Birmingham on Uctober 23.

WELSH COAL TRAFFIC. Planaii^Afltlve Preparation for the Ups v ? to Avon mouth. The "Bristol Evening News" says:—Much interest is felt in commercial circles in the pro- posed construction of the Avonmouth and Severn Tunnel Railwav. and it will be remem- bered that at the recent meeting of the Great Western; Railway shareholders a sum of JB20,000 was voted on account of the undertakings which was sanctioned by, r,'adj ament six years ago. The estimated cost was stated to be £ 75,000. Now that the first instalment of the money has been voted, those interested in the work are naturally anxious to see the construction of the line commenced. We are officially informed that- instructions have been given for the neoes- sary steps to be taken for the purchase of the land, and the engineer has been instructed to go on with the preparation of the plans in order that a contract may be let as soon a« the lands ha,ve been acquired.

EIGHT HOURS DAY. Dissatisfaction ef Government Work men. The eight hours system at the Royal Gnn powder Factory, Waif lam, has been suddenly discarded for the old system of twelve hours' skift. This step has been taken owing to the dissatisfaction of the workmen.

CONSERVATIVE AGENTS. Meeting of the South Wales Union at Haverfordwest. At a meeting of the South Wales Union of Conservative Agents at Haverfordwest on Thurs- day it was unanimously agreed to hold the annual meeting at Swansea on Octoter 16. Coic-r.el White, Haverfordwest, presided, and amongst those present were Messrs. H. Talbot, Cardiff; Cox, Llanelly; C. Barham, Haver- fordwest; J. H. Mills, Cardiff; and J. H. Moms, Conservative Club, Swansea.

FOOTBALL. Mr. D. W. Nichol Will Not Accept the Llanelly Captaincy. We are in a position to state tha.t Mr. D. W. Nichol will not accept the captaincy of the Llanelly Football Clnb for the coming season. In fact, it is very improbable that be will don the jersey again. The selection of a captain fLnd vice-captain of the first fifteen will be made m the 31st inst. On Saturday next the annual sports in connection with the Llanelly Football 31ub will be held.

SCIENCE AND ART. Appointment of Mr. E. G. Baker, Carmarthen, as Inspector. Mr. E. G. Baker, B.A., B.Sc., vice-principal | of tlie South Wales Training- College, Car- marthen. has beep appointed one of the new first-class inspectors under the Science and Art Department. The office is a new one, aud has been created, we believe, on account of the dis- satisfaction hithert-o felt by teachers at the old regime, under which the work was done princi- pally by retired Army officers. Five others have been appointed with Mr. Baker, but he will, probably, be the only one among them hailing from Wales. A native of Devonshire, I he has spent about fourteen years at Car- marthen, is a captain of I Company of the 1st V.B. Welsh, and master of the looal lodge of Freemasons, and a member of the Carmarthen School Board. His departure from Ca.rirarthea, which will not take place for a little while, will 00 so close to the end of the triennial period of W11ie.h lie has lyeen elected that it will not be necessary for him to resign his seat on the board. Mr. Baker, in all probability, will be located in the South of TCngland.

An italian Woman who Suffers Strange- Torments but Can Foretell the Future, In a waste of ash-heaps and ill-smelling. scum-covered pools, in New York, there is a tumble-down, two-storey house, where lives, a witch. The famous witch of Endor was1 no more unpleasant to look at than she. Yet; at ordinary times she is a good-natured woman with nothing strange about her except her, appearance. But at certain periods the demon; that possesses her becomes active, and she is-, a spectacle from whom all her neighbours an<$\: friends fly. The possession lasts from a few hours to four or five days. But, no matter how long the period, she takes no food or drink; while it lasts. Seventeen years ago in Naples, when the witch was about 22 and a very handsome jirl, the demon entered into her. She was walking along one day, and,, being very thirsty, stooped down, to drink at a stream of running water. A man who was near her suddenly fell down dead. He had long- been known as a man." possessed! of a devil, and many effolts; had been made in vain to exorcise this devil. It stuck to hii:i and mocked the. good people, who waved charms and repeated' the most, awful incantations. It is supposed that as the man died with his head in this, stream of water the devil floated down the stream and went in at the open mouth of the girl with the water she was drinking. For that same day she Was taken with convulsions, and writhed in great agony. During her suf- fering the charms were used, but the devil, held fast. and made the unfortunate girl say the most frightful things. Her parents and friends did everything they could to rid her of the devil, but it was all of no use. They only disturbed him Mid made him cut the most awful antics. In one of these struggles between devil and charms she lost her right eye. After that they let the devil alone. It seems that the seat of this devil is in the stomach. Mrs. Papa (that is the wibh's name) says she can feel that he is there all the time, and when his period of activity comes he fights and claws a.nd kicks, and she, striving to rid herself of him, beats herself on the stomach, and about the ribs and throat until she is black and blue and uttietrly worn out; the while she gives vent to the most awful- shrieks and moans, and white froth flies from her blood stained lips. Another queer thing about this satanio pos- session is that Mrs. Papa. can foretell the. future, can answer truthfully any question- that is put to her, no matter how seoeret the,, -1 matter of which it inquires may be. F044 years ago a friendi of her husband lost a." large sum of money, and, as Mrs. Papa hap- j pened to be wrestling with her devil at the- time, she auras able to tell where it was. who; stole it, and how it) was done. From what she told the police were able to arrest the; thief, recover the money. and send him to. prison. Sinoe that time she has been, much,! consulted, and has shown a disposition to be accommodating in bringing on her fits ofl possession by stirring her devil up and getting: him to work under full steam. The other day she used her devil to aid her in getting out of prison in New York. An Italian had been stabbed, and, as is usual in Italian crimes, the polioe were not able to find out anything about it. Tluey learned that Catherine Papa. had seen the stabbing, sa they locited her up as a. witness. No sooner1 had they got her in the cell than the demon; went to work. Such horrible sounds xwera never heard and Mrs. Papa writhing on, the door of the cell, beating herself about the loins, the stomach, and the breast. They got a, doctor post haste, and! the doctor, with cold, unbelieving diagnosis, said, "Devil? Stuff and nonsense! It's; plain hysteria. The hospital is the place fori her." So down to the hospital they hurried' her, howling and gurgling and beating herself. The good sisters are much alarmed, and did' everything they could to soothe her, but ttM" convulsions lasted five days, and she a.t& nothing. In her quiet moments she pro- phesied many tilings, and also told several' people things in their past of which they thought none but themselves knew. Amongt those who benefited by her talk was a police- inspector, who understod her peculiar dialect* of Italian, and was amazed and confounded. At the end of five days the police found other witnesses of the stabbing, and told Mrs. Papa* she might go home as soon as she felt like it-j After one final and most impressive struggle the demon within her was stilled and let her! go home. She is there now, and she hold*, levees every day. to which many Italians coma in the hope and fear that they will see the devilij at work in her. j_
