IVery Awkward. --,.''------.-.,-...
I Very Awkward. (1) LOED BALFOUR OF BUBLEIGH (at Sunday Closing Commission) Mr. Can* lias said three thousand people passed his house on Sunday to go drinking at Bumney. Do you agree to that as a fair estimate P ME. LEWIS WILLIAMS, J.P. All fiddle-de-dee and non- you agree to that as a fair estimate ? MR. LEWIS WILLIAMS, J.P. All fiddle-de-dee and non- sense I live on the way to Rumney myself, and I don't see anything of the kind." (2) MR. LEWIS WILLIAMS, J.P. (reading South Wales Daily News) "The beauty of the weather took any number of bona fides and others on Sunday to Rumney, St. Mellon's, and Castleton. The roads were thronged, and it was im- possible almost for a vehicle to get through the crowds which loitered about or besieged the public-houses, and drank and drank to their heart's content. It is computed that over 20,000 people were out along the roads." Good gracious what fool has put this in our own paper. It upsets all my facts at the Commission
TO CURE DIPHTHERIA
TO CURE DIPHTHERIA Doctors Experimenting with a New Specific at Vienna. A Vienns. telegram on Tuesday night from the "Daily News" correspondent says — To-day the. first child in Vienna was treated with seruni, the new prophylactic against diphtheria. The director of the Caroline Children's Hospital, Professor Huetten- brenner, invited me to witness the operation and to follow the course of treatment. It had been resolved from the first to treat only 'I. y derperate cases until it is proved that the injections of serum do not increase the diph- theria. After some experiments are made with children whose of, recovery is very small, to test the nature of the remedy and its effect-t-, children in less desperate stages of the disease will be treated with Pro- fessor Behring's medicine. The patient treated to-day is a little girl, sixteen months old, with a head of curly golden hair, and is one of a pair of twins, the weaker of which died a year ago. She was brought to the hospital in a state of extreme suffocation, and was operated upon immediately. Trache- otomy was performed, and a canula inserted to relieve the breathing. The whole condi- tion of the child at once showed the doctors ( that there was no hope of saving her in the ordinary way. This morning at eleven an injection of serum was made, the quant-ity j being about half a small wineglassful. The iujection was made in the abdomen. The serum immediatt-ly distributed itself all over < the child, entering the veins and arteries. It I caused no ill effect, but the child, who fait r greatly relieved by last night's operation, took liquid nourishment, and seemed to be quite comfortable. She is exceedingly pale, but does not complain unless the wound in ( the throat is touched. The doctors in whose hands the case is assure me that if the child continues in her present state two days longer there will be no question that the new remedy has had in effect, as there was absolutely no hope of saving her. The remedy is a brewn, watery liquid, and is injected with a. large syriuge. The Vienna public continues to take an intense interest in the new treat- ment of the disease that is so fatal to children, ( and contributions fOT treat,ing patient-s flow in freely. The "Neue Freie Presse" alone has i received sixteen thousand florins in a few days. (
MAILS TO THE EAST.
MAILS TO THE EAST. P. and 0. Company Add Another to Their Fast Fleet. A large number of shipowners, merchants, and representatives of some of the great mail and steamship companies on Wednesday paid a visit, at the invitation of the chairman and board of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, to the new mail steamer Caledonia, at the Royal Albert Docks, prior to her departure on Friday for her first voyage to Bombay. The tonnage of the vessel, which has been built by Messrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock, is 7,558 tons; length, 480ft. breadth. 54ft. Sir Thomas Sutherland, M.P., the chairman of the I*, and 0., said the vessel can cover twenty miles per hour, which will reduce the time of transit of mails to the East by 50 per cent, compared with twenty years ago. When their present contract with the Government expired lie supposed a great num- ber of tenders would be sent in for the con- veyance of mails, even by'persons who had no vessels suitable for the purpose, but he felt sure that by the policy adopted by the board of the p. and O. they would not only not need to solicit a renewal of the contract, but would be :'i)le by their superiority to compel the Government to renew it.
THE BORTH TRAGEDY.
THE BORTH TRAGEDY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EVENING EXPRESS." SIR,-In looking through the report of the proceeding's before the magistrates in connection with the Borth tragedy, I was surprised at the ease with which the prisoner obtained from the bank the woney belonging to the deceased's husband. It would appear that the production of the deposit receipt with the bearer's signa- ture was quite sufficient evidence of identifica- to a tion for the cashier. Is it not usual to take a specimen signature of the depositor when the deposit is made, so that in case of withdrawals signatures can be readily compared ? Such a precaution would undoubtedly have detected the forgery in the present case.—I am. &c., Cardiff. W. J. AMPHLETT.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
SUNDAY CLOSING. Mr Lewis Williams's Explanation of the Bona Fides" at Rumney. In view of the immense trade now done at Rumney on Sunday, a. representative of the "Western Mail" waited upon Mr. Lewis Wil- liams and asked his opinion on the effect of the Act. "It is disappointing, certainly," said Mr. Williams, "but. all we have to do is to make it universal, and then the scenes described as having occurred at Rumney will be a thing of the past," "You remember that in your evidenoe before the Commission you discredited the statement that in consequence of Suuday Closing there had been more drinking?"' "I admit that Sunday drinking is more preva- lent. than I thought, but I stili argue that uni- versal Sunday Closing will put matters right."
CARDIFF AND WESTON.
CARDIFF AND WESTON. The Proposed Winter Service ef Pas- senger Boats. In consequence of the request by residents of both Weston and Cardiff that fv winter ser- vice of boats should 1¥ arranged between the two places, Messrs. Edwards, Robertson, and r Co. (Bristol Channel Passenger Service, Limited) have issued a circular in order to ascertain what support the project is likely to receive. They point out that to continue running during the winter would be attended with considerable fin-uliclal loss, which they could not undertake without first knowing that they would be supported by their friends. They, therefore, <Mk for applications for tickets available front the middle of October until the 31st of March next at 30s. each. If there should be :t sufficient number of tickets taken to warrant Messrs. Edwards, Robert-son, and Co. going on with the venture, the boat will be put on for the winter season.
NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD.
NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. Probable Visit of an American Choir to the Llanelly Gathering. One of our representatives had a chat en Wednesday with Mr. Haydn Evans, the conductor of the American concert party at present touring the Principality, and asked him if there was any likelihood of a choir being sent over from America to compete at the Llanelly National Eisteddfod next year. Mr. Evans in his reply. said that the matter was not yet definitely settled, and would not be until his party had returned and made a. report to the committee; as to what reception a choir of that kind would be likely to get. As far as figures were concerned there would be no difficulty at all about the project, be- cause three or four wealthy Americans were deeply interested in it. and would defray the whole expense. Of course, it would mean that the choir would have to be away for a month, and that was a real difficulty with some people, especially with working men, who would not care about leaving their work for a month. At the same time, all these things could be arranged. He would report to the committee that the proposal was an eminently practicable one, and one that would be attended with much success- Another diffi- culty would be with regard to the female portion of the choir. It was no small mstter to bring over a number of girls all that way and take them safe home again. He did not think, however, that this was in any way an insuperable difficulty. The year 1895 would be the very best year in which to bring off the visit, because trade in America was good now, and would be better by that time. The country, too. was not distracted by any elec- tions, and was now quieted down after the World's Fair at Chicago.
-"--'-FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. David James and the Swansea and District League. The very large number of Swansea football enthusiasts who are anxious to see the Brothers James re-instated will learn with satisfaction (says the "South W ales Daily Post") that Dai James has now definitely settled not to assist any of the Swansea and District League teams. STATEMENT BY CLAYTON AND DANYGRAIG OFFICIALS. "It is a fact that we registered both the Brothers James for Danygraig at the beginning of the season," said a Danygraig official on Tuesday, "but we iiett,-r expected, or indeed never intended, that either of them should play for us regularly." A Clayton official stated: -"A fe\\ days ago we certainly did think of playing Dai James. He has got work up at. Landore, and he told us that he was willing to assist us in our League matches. I'm sure that our officials would be very sorry to do anything that might endanger the chances of I the Jameses' re-instatement—that phase of the j question did not strike us at nrst- hut now that the members of the Swansea Club have so ajjainst it, of course we shan't do any more, and in view of Mr. Bryant's remarks, Dai James says now that he won't assist us, Dai James says now that he won't assist us, or any other of the District Leadie teama.
STEAMSHIP NORAH
STEAMSHIP NORAH The Wrecked V sse) Repaired and Now Going to Sea. The steamship Norah, which was sunk in the Bristol Channel after a collision near the Flat Holm in the early part of the summer, has, much to the astonishment- of many people, just signed on a crew, and wilv proceed to sea on Friday. It will be remembered that the vessel was raised after much difficulty, and was towed into the Bute Dry Dock for repairs. The competition with North Country firms was particularly keen, but. the Bute Dry Dock Company were successful in obtaining the con- tract, both in the price (about £ 5,000) and time limit. The time allowed for the over- hauling was ZJ days, and the work wa. com- I pleted within the hour specified. Shipowners who are in the habit of sending their vessels to the North to be repaired will thus see that local firms are quite able to compete with their Northern rivals, both in regard to cost, expedi- tion, and workmanship.
EGYPTIAN SERVICE.
EGYPTIAN SERVICE. High Appointment for a Welsh Military Officer. Lieutenant-colonel Lloyd Pasha, who has been appointed to the command of the Red Sea Lit- toral, and to the command at Souakim, has, says the Pall Mall Gazette," been in the Khedive's service since 18S4. He served with the 51st Infantry Regiment in the Jowaki Campaign of 1877, and in the Afghan War of 1878. Daring the Nile Expedition of 1884-85 he was in com. mand of Tangur. He was also with the Soudan Frontier Field Force in 1887-88, and was present at the engagements of Giness and Sarrass.
REGIMENTAL GOAT.
REGIMENTAL GOAT. A Present from the Queen for the Welsh Regiment. Her Majesty the Queen has presented the 3rd Battalion Welsh Regiment with a splendid white groat, to bo trained to march at the head of the regiment. The beautiful animal, which is about nine months old, arrived in Cardiff a few days ago from the Windsor Home Farm, and, although a little wild at first, has settled down well in his new quarters. He is in charge of the drummer-sergeant, who pays every'atten- tion to the new regimental pet. Each of the three battalions has now its own goat.
GWENT LADIES' CHOIR.
GWENT LADIES' CHOIR. Concert at the Cardiff Park-hall Last Night. On Wednesday evening a most enthusiastic reception was accorded the Gwent Ladies' Choir, on the occasion of their first appearance in Cardiff at the Park-hall. The choir, which has gained the reputation of being one of the finest combinations of ladies' voices in the country,fully maintained their reputation in giving a concert of first-class merit, which was fully appreciated by the large audience present. The chorus entitled The May Dance," which opened the first part of the programme. was rendered in a manner which showed how admirably the ladies were under the control of their conductress Mrs. Alfred Morris. Miss Lilian Taplin was deservedly encored for her rendering of the song, Time and Tide," and her success was followed by that of Miss Kate James, whose beautiful contralto voice was heard to effect in the song. The Valley by the Sea." After Miss Lilian Jones, who pos- sesses a contralto voice of great compass, had been re-called for a perfect rendering- of "Agnes Macdonald," the choir breught the first part of the programme to a close with the chorus In our Boat." For the second portion of the programme the choir, dressed in costume, gave a sketch of Spanish Gipsy Life," in which were some pretty songs and choruses, which were heartily applauded. Mrs. Lang sang "I'm a merry Zingara very tastefully, and was re-called, as was, Miss Maud Watkins for her exceedingly graceful skirt dance, and a successful concert was concluded by the choir, who gave the choruses" Good night" and "Oh, a joyous life."
ACCIDENT AT CARMARTHEN.
ACCIDENT AT CARMARTHEN. The Vice-President of the Welsh Baptist Union Injured. An unfortunate accident happened at Carmar- then on Wednesday to the Rev. G. H. Roberts, vice-president of ihe Welsb Baptist Union. He was being driven to a funeral, when by some unaccountable means the horse fell in Priory- street, Carmarthen. Mr. Roberts was thrown out of the vehicle, and in addition to a slight cut on his head sustained a, rather severe bruise on the leg. He was conveyed to his residence, and on the advice of his doctor remained in bed. Mr. Roberts, we regret to say, has been ailing since the annual meeting of the Union, and has 1, had to give up moire thf raeaching engage-
Plays and the Players, u
Plays and the Players, u .t "PROMPTER'S" GOSSIP OF THE FOOTLiGHTS. A Chat About the Popular Melodrama, Staged this Week at the Cardiff Theatre Royal. There is a good deal in "A Life of Plea- sure" that one can appreciate. Melodrama, as a rule, cannot be adjudged guilty in this' re.-ppot, although, we axe bound to confess, that anything coming from the pen of Henry IVttitt carries with it that indescribable chaim. and attraction of realistic effect and ii.iicimr- j asset! interest rliat, once attached to a play, causes it to take audiences by storm. Perhaps "A Life of Pleasure" is a trifle lighter than oilie-- melodramas that have emanated from Mr. Pettftt's pen. "Human Nature." and In tht Ranks'' were plays more, sternly realistic than the production under notice, which, nevertheless, although giving an insight into the lighter side of humanity, contain?) all that continuity of interest and powerfijlness of situation that is necessary for the feueoess of modeln melodrama. Whatever may have bpen the author's ori- ginal intention* or thoughts, the play, aR in- terpreted by the company now at tW Royal, sees most interest centered in the doings of "Captain Dauby" and "Norah Han}an."°Tha ]onf. first-mentioned is the cool, never-to-be-flurried man about town in the best sense of the word a generous gentleman, who has a peculiar knack of geHmg his own way in most- i hing-g, and. withal, in such a manner that betokens more a kicking out on the part of his opponent than undue exertion on the part of the cap- tain a, "dandy," who, particular in the ut- most degree with regaixl to personal appear- ance, and clinging to old Eton eccentricities, woutd still make light of riding a horse across the stiff est country that ever existe3, or who would lead the most hopeless of forlorn hopes, with no more thought or care than if lie were ridinsr a hack in the Row- I can say no lIwre of Mr. M'Ewnn's interpretation than that he is all this to the ounce. CAPTAIN DANBY. ("A Life of Pleasure.") "Norah Hanlon V most powerful scene is in the bar or ante-room of the Empire Theatre, where a magnificent climax is worked up between her and the profligate "Captain Uhandos." It is an all-powerful denouement,, cleverly worked up to, and carried through, with. a startling realism that causes the, audience to catch their breath. and fairly rise to it. "NorahV' declamation is the' (•spontaneous and natural outburst of an out- raged woman, and is rendered under such circumstances, and received by the bystanders with such nonchalance, as sugg&stij not the Ntage, but a happening of every day real life. These, to my xaind, are the two bril- liant parts of the play, although the other characters are ably interpreted by an excel- lent all-round company. As to the generalities of the pieoe, the ",t.. craft so essential to the production of so striking a play is of the most comprehensive mature. The thread of continuity is, mayhap, a trifle strained, when we are taken so suddenly from v the Empire to the wilds of Burmah. and, again, in the last act but one, where "Norah," after heing- poisoned, again appears on the scene. In the first-mentioned instance. "Lord Avon- dale's" lines provide a slight inkling of what we may expect, but. the thread is a slender one, and hardly to be followed. Still, as a. whole, the play is an emphatic success, one of the best, in fact, ever produced by the author. it is a wonderful representation or Wie days we live in is, in fact, a nineteenth century in miniature. If it were not asking the Rev. Oswald to break his usual rule of "infinite variety being charming" I would implore the Empire pro- prietor to let the tableaux vivants stay with us for a few weeks. They pack the Queen-street house nightly, for of them we could justly mis- quote the Bard of Avon, and say. Age cannot wither nor custom stale Their infinite variety. Still I know the thoughts of the Empire management ai*e with Cewper, who says Variety's the very spice of life j That gives it all its flavour. Mr. Stoll has a. cast-iron rule that however good a turn be it shall only be allowed to stay before his patrons for a brief period. There are several other interesting turns at the Empire this week. George Leyton drams to be the idol of London town," and if the imma-cula-teness of dress and style is anything to go by he is justified in his claims. Arthur Reece very ably explains to us the difference between the dt-nizens-or should 1 have said in- habitants:-—of the East and West, both in every day life and love affairs. Miss Flo Ormond is a sprightly dashing young soubrette, with pro- nounced ideas in the matter of costumes, whilst her singing is full of vim. Rose Sullivan appeals to the gallery, and is a prime favourite with the gods, who do love anything that smacks of the distressed counthry." All round the Empire comp&ny is very smart this week. 'Tis a long- time since I visited the Newport. Empire, which establishment holds a big- plaoe in the esteem of the Usksiders. The peculiarity of the Monmouthshire house is that whenever 1 visit it I invariably get into the same seat, ft comfortable enough tauteuil, it is true, but on a direct line with the door, and I thereby get the full benefit of a draught that is enough to bite the side of one's head off. I notice everyone carefully avoids that seat at least, whenever I visit the establishment that seat is empty, even if there is not standing room elsewhere. The company there this week is a most meritorioas 4s one. The Lupinos continue the success they achieved in Cardiff with their monkey show, j turn" which, whilst being brimful of fon, j is equally as clever as it is funny. By the way, I have received a communication from these gentlemen anent my last week's notes, in which they state they are the sons of the George Lupino I mentioned on that occa- sion. Their monkey show worth 1I5 upholds the traditions of the family, tor anything funnier or cleverer was never sean on the music-hall or pan- tomime stage. Their sire must be getting old by now not as lively as he was when, in the days of the old Cremorne Gardens, he turned a forward somersault over a stjuad of soldiers with fixed bayonets. Poor old George; I cherish his memory. Other entertaining turns at the Newport house are Marvelie's dogs and Ellen's cockatoos, and the smart singing of Lizzie Valrose, who, makes a big bit with her "Stowaway" song. And now 1 think that's all. There is naught left of any importance that I can recollect. There is the Office Pote, but his state at present is such that he don't count, wherein be is like the items that are left. Stay, there is the war with France that it is said will ehortly engage our attention. The Financial Editor is talking of joi-iiing the thin red hue of heroes," if his country needs him, but I have a shrewd opinion that later events may not cause him to see the stern necessity cf keeping up with the head of the procession. Perhaps he will aaou find out that it is silly to be merely patriotio nowadays, and therein he will find tue senti- m-nts of XHE PROMPTOfl.
