WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. Not Mentioned in Next Sessions Pro- gramme. Telegraphing- on Friday night, our London correspondent eays —I learn, on higui autho- rity that it is intended by the Government next session to run concurrently with the Evicted Tenants Bill a measure for the pur- pose of reducing the principle on which judi- cial rents are now fixed in Ireland. It will be proposed to reduce these by 10 per cent.. The Bill will be founded on the evidence tendered before the Select Committee to inquire into the operation of the Irish Land Acts. A Registration. Bill and a Payment of Members Bill it is also pioposed to take, and, though Lord Hoeebery definitely pro- mised first place to Welsh Disestablishment, such Mi authority as Mr. Lloyd-George is of opinion that the Government will again break faith, and that- a general eleot-ion will be neces- sary before they get their demands fulfilled. The vacillation of the majority of the Welsh members has been so noticeable during the present session that, even if the Government does leave them in the lurch, they may be depended upon to obey the crack of the party whip as faithfully as ever.

JUNIOR ENGINEERS. Cardiff to be Visited in their Summer Excursion. The Junior Engineering Society intend to make their summer excursion to Cardiff, where they will arrive on Monday next. Previous to this, however, Friday night., Saturday, and Sun- day will be spent at Weston. Arriving at the Bute Docks Sir W. X. Lewis will conduct the party over the East, West, and Roath Docks, and at mid-day they will be banquetted at the Park Hotel, by invitation of Sir W. T. Lewis. Afterwards the Dowlais Works and the Cardiff' Tin Stamping and Enamel Works will be inspected. On the following day (Tuesday) the society co over the Cyfarthfa Iron and Steel Works, Merthyr, and later on in the day visit the new pits of the Dowlais Iron Company's collieries. Wednesday will be spent at Barry and. Penarth, and on Thurs- day the party inspect tb. various places of in- terest to them at Newport. On Friday the Taff Vale Railway Steam Shed and Carriage and Waggon Works, Cathays, under the-guidanee of Mr. T. H. Riches, locomotive superintendent, will be visited, and the Cardiff Electric Light- ing Works inspected, whilst in the evening the society's 1894 summer dinner will be given at Barry's Hotel. The concluding day will be devoted to a journey to Tintern and Severn, and the company will arrive at Paddington at 7.45. Exhaustive publications, entiied Week's Notes, has just been issued, giving full particulars of the various industries in and around Cardiff.

JABEZ BALFOUR. More Questions to be Put in the House of Commons. The publication in the "Pall Mall Gazette" of the correspondence between the Director of Public Prosecutions and Mr. Robert Butcher, of the Liberator Depositors' Committee, on the case of Jabez Balfour, will lead to further steps being taken in Parliament to obtain an explana- tion from the Government as to the laxity of the department responsible for initiating pro- ceedings against the responsible directors of the Liberator and allied companies. The corre- spondence, says the "Pall Mall" Lobby repre- sentative, confirms the opinion of those who have been vainly endeavouring to move the Government in the matter that there lias been a great want of appreciation of the grave issues involved in the case on the part of either the Attorney-General, the Public Prosecutor, or the officials of the Bankruptcy Department of the Board of Trade, or all of them.

WIMBORNE CELEBRATIONS. Lord and Lady Wimborne Pay a Visit to Dowlais. On Friday morning Lord and Lady Wimborne and tho Hon. Mr. Churchill Guest visited Dowlais. They drove from Merthyr in an open carria.ge. but few people in Dowlais were aware of their arrival, and there was no popular demonstration. But a number of people rocognised the distinguished party as the carriage drove up High-street, and saluted them. Lord and Lady Wimborne dined at the house of Mr. E. P. Martin with the representa- tives of the Dowlais agents and men and of the Chamber of Trade, who went to Cauford Manor last week with the Dowlais representa- tives to the Hon. Ivor Churchill Guest.

DE JONG'S APPEAL. It has been Rejected by the Court of Cassation. A Ruter's telegram from The Hague on Fri- day says :—The Court of Caseation has rejected the appeal made by Hendrik de Jong, who some time back was condemned to three years' imprisonment for swindling. The prisoner had originally been apprehended on a charge of having done away with his wife, a young Eng- lishwoman, but this charge was withdrawn in default of evidence.

NEW STEAMER FOR CARDIFF. The new steel screw steamer Blodwen, built and engined by Messrs. John Redhead and Sons, of South Shields, for Messrs. W., H., and C. T.

I LLANDAFF ORGANIST. The Supposed Slight to a Cardiff 'i Musician. Some friend of Mr. T. E. Aylward, the well-known Cardiff organist, has been doing him an unfriendly turn. Mr. Aylward, out t f many applicants for the vacant post of organist to Llandaff Cathedral, wa& one of four selected for final consideration. Mr. Beale was appointed, and now it is stated that Mr. Aylward has been slighted, that the action of th9 dean and chapter is singular, and that the indignation thereat is wide- spread. One of the grievances is that Mr. Aylward was not submitted to the test applied to the other candidates. This was because Mr. Aylward is so well known to the chapter. The cathedral authorities were perfectly well aware of his high talents and exceptional attainments, and the adjudicator, as a friend of Mr. Aylward, would not act as adjudicator upon him. Mr. Aylward, position as a candidate was entirely different from that of the other selected candidates, who were unknown to the dean and chapter. Another misconception is one that refers to the reason why the invitation to Mr. Aylward to attend was countermanded. There was no breach of etiquette, intentional or otherwise, and, far from wishing to east a slight, won Mr. Ayl* wards, the telegram was sent to him to avoid any unpleasantness, or, at any rate, not to put Mr. Aylward to any unnecessary inconvenience after the question had been practically sett-led.

SWANSEA REGATTA. Kaiser's Yacht Meteor Cannot Com- pete. A letter bas been received from the Attache to the German Embassy stating that the Meteor cannot come to Swansea Regatta, as she could not compete with other first-class boats, and would be required by his Majesty at Kiel after the Cowes week. Subscriptions to the extent of JE250 have already been promised towards the Swansea Regatta, and at a meeting of the com- mittee it has been resolved that a prize should e offered for a race between 40-tonners.

CARDIFF AMUSEMENTS. A New Burlesque at the Grand Theatre. At the Grand Theatre on Monday evening next Messrs. Machinder and Wingfield s com- pany are to produce for the first, time in Cardiff a new burlesque, entitled "The Water Babes, "of which Mr.E. W.Bowles has written the libretto and Mr. Merton Clark the music. From what we can learn of "The Water Babes" it would seem that it is a piece in which v. e are carried back to the old days of burlesques which had carefully constructed plots and dialogues which depended for effect on genuine hearty fun, and not, as is mostly the Case nowadays, on a succes- sion of variety turns, with a name tacked on which is meaningless As the burlesque is new to Cardiff we, of course, cannot say much as to the character of the lialoque and the music, but, judging from the reception which the piece met with when it first saw the light a week or two ago. it should draw large audiences at the Grand next week.

VOLUNTEER CYCLING. The Hundred Miles Road Race from Carmarthen. It having been decided that representatives of the cycle corps in connection with the H and I Companies of the 1st V.B. Welsh should com- pete in the 100 mile road race for Volunteer cycles, a team of five men on Friday held a com- petition for places. The course selected was from Carmarthen to Brecon and back, which makes up 100 miles. An accident to his machine having precluded one of the competitors from finishing, four only completed the journey, which they did in the following time: H. JC. Private D. Evans 8 34 Private Theo. Rogers 9 1 Private W. Rogers 9 3 Private C. Galloway 9 5 It will be necessary for Carmarthen to obtain I the help of one outsider, and the name of Thomas, Llandilo, has been suggested.

————————— Albert Chevalier's Visit. The world-renowned coster mimic and unique music-hall artiste, Mr. Albert Chevalier, is announced to give recitals in the Park-hall, Cardiff, next Monday and Tues- day evenings. Those who have had the plea- sure of hearing him are unanimous in the assertion that he is an entertainment in him- self. Tie will be supported on the occasions by Mr. Bond Andrews, Madame Julia Leynox, Sir. Ilusrh Gwynne, and Mr. Charles Bertram, and a thorough treat is in store not only for the habitues of the music-hall, but others. Tickets may be obtained, and plans of the hall seen at Messrs. Thompson and Shackell's, Queen-street, Cardiff.

SHIPPING ACCIDEnTTt CARDfFF. The ship Hilston, of London, laden with coa.1, when hauling from the Roath Dock, passing the junction from the East Dock to the Roath Dock the undercurrent bore the ship down on to the steamship Thomas Cameron, of Westoll, Sunderland, and the steamship Trelyon, of St. Ires, forcing the latter against the quay wall, and breaking her rudder gudgeons, And causing other stern damage. The steamship Thomas Cameron sustained damage in several places on the port side. The ship Hilston sustained slight damage to the rigging, &o.

MUMBLES MYSTERY. Searchers have Failed to Find the Missing Yachtsman. During Friday constant. search was made along the shore at the Mumbles and Swansea for the body of Mr. Bowden, stationer, whose sail- ing boat returned empty on Thursday evening, but during the day this was quite unsuccessful. Little doubt is entertained that Mr. Bowden has perished, for there is no other feasible explana- tion of the mystery. Mr. Bowden was a very fearle.-s yachtsman, and often ventured out in his open boat when his friendq had warned him of the danger. The boat is about 10ft. long by 3ft. beam, and is unfit- for squally weather. It is believed a.t the Mumbles that he was steering for Swansea, for his oraft was observed about half an hour after lie had set sail about half- way between the Mumbles shore and the Swan- aea Pier. Soon afterwards it returned straight to the beach, vdiere it run sa,fely on the mud. Mrs. Bowden on being apprised of the caia- i. mit-y went down to the Mumbles, and in the midst of her grief expressed her confidence that her husband would still return. The fishermen believe that Mr. Bowden was suddenly knocked over by the mainsail boom, or that, whilst working the sails, he caught his fcot in -some tackle and fell overboard. Mr. Bowden was a native of Swansea, and only went into the stationery business six or seven yfea-rs ago. —M—W—BWH—I—■a——

CARDIFF HARBOUR TRUST. Mr F. J. Beavan Writes as Follows to the "Western Mail." SiR,—Yon honour me much by noticing for a moment any incident occurring in my ordinary life. Your suggestion in to-day's issue that I have recently had a rough time of it on 'Change in respect to the ftarbour Trust" is very playful, but not quite accurate. Please under- tand I do not feel in the least angry at the emark, but I should like to be permitted to say that, as a matter of fact, I have met with no one on 'Change who has offered a favourable opinion of the proposed harbour trust except one of my colleagues on the town council and certainly, he and I never dream of quarrelling. I do wish I could get you to see that the desig- nation" Harbour Trust" is quite out of place as indicating the proposal put before the council. At least that is my judgment.

THE YORKS. Miypay- a visit to Swansea in the Autumn. The South Wales Daily Post says :— We learn on excellent authority that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York have accepted an invitation from Mr. W. Graham Vivian, and purpose paying a visit to Clyne Park during the latter part of the autumn. The Duchess of York, it will, of course, be remembered, accompanied her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Teck, some years ago as the guest of Mr. Vivian, and since that time Princess May—as she is still affectionately caUèd-hae never ceased to talk of the beauties of the Clyne Valley, and to re-call the charming cenery of the surrounding neighbourhood.

A DARING BURGLARY. Police Make a Smart Capture at Cardiff. Between one and two o'clock this (Saturday) morning Police-constables Hawkins (150) and Jones (133), of the Cardiff Borough Police Force, were patrolling Queen-street, when their attention was drawn to a slight noise in the entrance to the Arcade. Pro- ceeding into the passage, which was exceedingly dark, the constables turned on their light, when Hawkins saw a man trying to get through the window of Alderman Carey's wine and spirit stores. The top of the window falls back on a bar, and on the ledge of this part of the window a man was kneeling with his head and shoulders inside. The officers promptly secured the man, and conveyed him to the Central Police Station, where he was charged with breaking and entering. He gave his name as Thomas Tresidder, and said he was a labourer, living at 20, Wood- street, Cardiff. On searching him a bunch of skeleton keys, a dark lan- tern, and wood chisel were found, and, on further investigation, Police constable Hawkins found a chisel on the top ledge of the window. Prisoner will be brought before the magistrates this (Saturday) morning.

LICENSING APPLICATION AT CARDIFF At Cardiff Police-court on Friday morning Mr. Williams made au application on behalf of the proprietor of the Ruperra Arms, East Moors, asking the magistrates to make an order in the case of a provisional licence granted to the house some months back on condition that certain requirements should be carried out on the premises. These requirements had been fulfilled, and as the police raised no objec- tion the magistrates (who were Mr. Morton Browne, deputy-stipendiary, a,nd Councillor Jenkins) granted the application.

The coroner for the district-, Mr. W. Buck- ley Roderick, held an inquest at St. Ishmae!'< near Ferryside, on Thursday afternoon, rela- tive to the death of a little girl named Sarah TTaydon. Hie evidence showed that on the previous day the little girl fell mio a. well and was drowned. The jury returned a ver- dict of "Accidental death."

Her Leg is Her Fortune MISS MATSON'S LIMBS ARE PERFECT. She Made a Sensation in Parisian; Studios and is the Heroine of a Law Suit. Miss Grace Matson is a jxning American girl who has had fame thrust upon her by her leg. Parisian authorities on legs agree that hers are the shapeliest legs ever seen in that gay capital. Miss Matson kindly chatted the other day with a pressman about her legs. "Yes, it is true I am the young lady who acquired the entirely unsought fame in Paris' as having the most perfectly formed limb in- that city," she began. "The celebrity never profited me in any way, excepting to bring ma- an embarrassing quantity of mail, which has' followed me even to my home here ifl America, just as you have. Oh, yes, it brought me one novelty—a lawsuit, the only one I ever had in my life. Miss Matson was a dream of summer loveli- ? nees in white lawn as she sat in her home in: Brooklyn. Her voice is soft and persuasive, her blonde hair rises in a, pyramid of fluffy curls, truly Parisian, her arms partially dis- played by her summer dress are the whitest, most shapely an artist could wish, her gown in. Empire pattern slightly exaggerates, perhaps, her natural plumpness, and the neck is just sufficiently exposed to display a perfectly modelled throat. She is modest in the reluc- tance with which she tells of the unusual pub- licity that has been forced upon her. She is a lady of education, has travelled, and speaks French with fluency and a charming accent, perfected during her three years in Paris. "It was entirely by chance that I permitted an artist to copy my limbs for art work," she went on. "It began by the request of at acquaintance to use my arm in a picture he was painting for the Salon. He said my arm was perfect- in its shape, and bluntly offered me ten francs an hour to sit in his studio for him. I accepted the offer quite as bluntly as he made it, and, as he idealised my beauty somewhat, and artists noticed it. I very soon- had opportunities 'for sitting to others, and during six months I i^as kept busy holding my arm in all sorts of positions, and for all sorts of pictures, I think I figure in a very liberal proportion of the paintings shown this year in both the regular Salon, and the Salon du Champs de Mars. One day a certain artist, for whom I sat, asked me if I would be willing to pose for the leg. and said if it was shaped as well as my arm that lie would pay me liberally. I at first objected, but finally decided to do as he wished. When he saw my leg he pretended to be en. thusiastic over it, and declared it was much neaaer the mark of perfecton than my arm. Thus, gradually, I posed for the leg, and soon, found myself in increased demand, receiving twenty francs per hour for every sitting. The reason of my law suit was that an artist asked to make a cast of my leg, under the piea that he was desirous of finishing a Salon picture.. and as my engagements made it impossible for me to give him the time he required, he," feared he would not be able to complete his; painting in season, but he could work from' the cast without interruption. Well, he paid me considerable money, and I felt generously disposed and agreed to his request. He made: the cast and then never paid me another sou;) he used the planter altogether. Even this would not have resented, and would have borne; the loss of his patronage quietly, but he pretty soon began to loan the cast to others, and ia that way interfered with my income. So,, finally, I figured up exactly how much I had lost by his action, and found it to be 800 francs. I sued him for that amount and got. the money. The cast was destroyed, also, by order of the court. During the trial of this suit several artists testified that I had the most perfectly-shaped' arm and leg they had ever seen on a woman. This may be so in Europe, but I am certain, it would not have been their experience in the- United States The Parisian woman, generally: speaking, has a shapely white arm, graceful i*, contour and swelling in artistic curves from aj small wrist, but the average Parisian woman* has a very inartistic leg: it. is only in rare! instances that her leg is even presentable, fronrj an artistic standpoint. In the case of thei English woman the rule is both homely arm.) a.nd leg. This has no relation to the size of th-4 woman, either. They are large-boned and havol ample flesh, but it seems to be put on in most j grotesque manner. There is usually a bunch- of flesh at the shoulder, another at the elbow, and between these a straight mass of shapeless bone and skin, terminating in a very red, very large hand. The leg is built upon the same, plan, a. long ankle, perfectly straight, extend- ing six inches above the shoetop, and then W bunch of fat, Something over a year ago iV became quite a. fad in London for ladies to^ have silk stockings made specially for them,! often with ornaments designed by themselveL; Of course I was fascinated with the idea my-i self, and, becoming acquainted with the womaaj who received the orders, I occasionally looked-: ofer her book, which contained some of tho, best-known names in England and the measure- ments for their stockings. I was interested, in the subject, and I made some memoranda. Lady Londonderry's ankle measures 8fin.„ and the calf llin. The Duchess of Leinster'* ankle measures 9in. and the calf lOin. Lady Brooke, who is now Countess of Warwick, haso an ankle 9in. and a calf 12in. around. Lady; Alexander, who figured so conspicuously in si divorce case, has an exceptionally- large calf—. 12 £ in., with an ankle of 8Mn. Lady Coli" Campbell's calf is llin. Everyone of tliosw,, women wears a No. 5 shoe or larger. Lady Churchill's ankle is 9in. and her calf is 13iin.. The Duchess of Marlborough's calf is 14in. and the Empress of Germany's is the same. Al!\ those ladies wear a No. 4- shoe. You ask my measurement in inches. Well, my ankle i*; Siin., and the calf of my leg is 14iin. My; wrist is 6in., my forearm just below the elbow; 10in., and the arm just above the elbow i. 13in., and I wear a No. 3 shoe. The average size of the English woman's leg at the calf it about llin.; of the French it is about 12in., and this is certainly a liberal figure at which to put it, while neither very often attains a. shape that may be called beautiful. Yet if there is a choice it certainly is in favour of the French. To anyone who doubts this I would suggest a little observation, such as is open to the general public. If you have never noticed it, the fact is worth knowing, that a woman'* neck is generally an indioa.tion of her leg, being; within a fraction of an inch of the same oÎrØ cumferenoe. 1
