Notes from London ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. Holiday in Town.—Volunteers at Work.—The Premier's Condition. —The Theatres. The Easter exodus is so severe that one might more fittingly speak of holiday out of town than of holiday in town. The weather has redeemed its promise, and has saved the honour of the prophets. It has never been better., and never has excited so much interest. How important a matter the -weather is to Londoners you will imagine when I tell you that the smartest of the evening papers on Saturday devoted their street posters to big, starring lines about the "Latest weather," as if weather were a sensational murder, a piquant law case, or a big battle. To-day the masses and the classes alike are afoot—on wheels. I do not think it will be an extraordinary day for the railways. The great rush is on the roads. A continuous stream of vehicles rolled out of London from early morning, and in the crowd there was every imaginable conveyance. The pressure of demand for anything oni wheels had caused many aged and decrepit concerns to be dragged out, and I daresay there were plenty of breaksdown. VOLUNTEERS AT WORK. One of the most interesting in the series of field operations to-day is the visit of the West London Brigade to Caterham. It will probably be less noticed because less osten- tatious than some of the Volunteer displays. But it is more important than any because it is the first time a London brigade has taken its holiday work at the place it is detailed to occupy in the event of invasion. I do not quite see the fitness of sending a Western brigade tq cross London and mobilise in the Caterham Valley, about fifteen miles south of the Thames. Probably, to make up for this, the War Office, in its wisdom, has ordered Southern brigades to mobilise in the West. Nevertheless, Colonel Trotter, who commands the West Brigade, did well to take his men out to the ground they will have to occupy. They must certainly have had a trying day, for they had to march to Charing Cross to entrain and home again the same way after their arduous day's work. THE PREMIER'S CONDITION. An announcement that the Premier, after having often deferred, has finally abandoned his intention of going to Walnier Castle is assumed to be due to his improved health. I have rpason to believe there is more in it than meets the eye. The Premier is better, certainly, but is far from being perfectly recovered. His insomnia continues, and is a serious tax on his physical strength and mental capacity. I believe his intention t) stay near London is prompted as- much as anything by his manly desire to be on the spot to confront his enemies, who are pri- vately saying cruel things about him. As for his illness, it has had a nervous tendency of an alarming character. A peculiarity of his illness has been the ine<ficaCy of ordinary medicines to procure him relief. For instance, when brandy was prescribed it was fcupd that the u-IW medical dose had not the slightest eff-jct. This, was dui to the- strain on his highly-strung nervous system. Of course, his recovery has been retarded by the cares of State, and it was for this reason that he was advised to go abroad for a considerable period, to cut himself free of official worries. 10, DOWNING-STREET. Attention has been called to the fa -.t that Lord Rosebery is now sumptuously furnish- ing his official residence in Downing-street with furniture taken from his own house in Berkeley-square. The Prime Ministe' until the present time has merely used the house for public purposes, but it is evident that he is beginning to think that the life of his Ministry will be of longer duration than he y a.t first imagined, and that it will be letter for him to live there entirely. In this respect he follows the examples of Sir Robert Walpole, Pitt, Lord Grey, and Mr. Glad- stone, who during their terms of power made it their homes. Lord Melbourne and Sir Robert Peel, on the contrary, only used it during their hours of business, preferring the seclusion of their private houses to the semi-publicity of No. 10. THE NEW RECORD OFFICE. Within the past week the greater part of the scaffolding which has for so long hidden from view, the architectural beauties of the new Record Office in Chancery-lane has been removed. The narrow thoroughfare gives slight opportunities for displaying the admi- rable proportions of the new building, and the massive architecture is almost lost. The building is composed almost entirely of Portland stone; the facade, modern and picturesque, and towers at each end form a relief to the frontage. In the centre, over the main entrance, there is some artistic moulding, and on the highest part is a striking balustrade, surmounted by the Royal Arms. Every care will be taken to have the rooms thoroughly dried before the valuable records are finally deposited in them. THE THEATRES. Strange to say, an unusual number of theat-res are closed at this season. On Saturday eighteen important theatres kept closed doors, but to-night this number was reduced to twelve, the managers of the Avenue, Globe, Lyceum, Opera Comique, St. James's, and Strand either resuming the interrupted run of their old plays or presenting fresh attractions. The Haymarket will not be opened until Mr. Beerbohm Tree's return; the Comedy opens on Wednesday, the Vaude- ville on Thursuay, the Trafalgar on the 2oin, and the Court on the 27th. At each of these theatres a new play will be provided. The Savoy opens to-morrow with Humper- dinck's fairy opera, "Hansel and Gretel," which has had such successful careers at the Princess's and Daly's. We shall have to wait for the operatic season for the re-opening of Covent Garden, and the return of Mr. W. S. Gilbert for that of the Lyric. As for Toole's, this depends upon the genial comedian's health, whilst occupants have yet to be found for the Olympic, Royalty, and Sbaftes- bury.

EPPS'S OOCOA. — GftATEFUL AND OOMFORT- IXG. "By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutri- tion, and by a careful application of the fine pro- perties of well-selected COCOA, Mr. Epps has pro- vided for our breakfast and supper a delicately- flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills.

SWANSEA NEW THEATRE. A GALAXY OF STARS IN A NEW OPERA. Easter Monday was a red-letter day in the history ef the New Theatre, Swansea, it having ( been selected as the locale of the preliminary 1 production of a new comic opera, "Baron ] Golosh," to be put on the boards of the Trafal- ] gar Theatre, London, at an early date. The whole of the powerful company got together by Mr. Horace Sedger and Miss Violet Melnotte for the London production are now at Swansea. The first production took place at a matinee on 1 Monday afternoon, attended by a large holiday crowd." Of course the hitches inseparable from a 1 first attempt were observable, but in the ] hands, of anch 011 London artistes as Mr. E. J. 1 Lonnen, Mr. Harry Paulton, Mr. Scott-Russell, ) Mr. Frank Wyatt, Miss Florence Perry, Miss Alice Lethbridge, and Miss Violet Melnotte— ] not to go further—these difficulties were mini- ] mised, and the crowd went away delighted with a performance in which such singing had been heard and such dancing seen as had not been ] enjoyed in Swansea for many a day. The scenes in "Baron Golosh" are only two—a room at "Baron Golosh's" in the Faubourg St. 1 Germain, Paris, and the Blue Pig at ] Rotterdam-but in the course of the lively ] representations at theae two places good things 1 innumerable tread on each other's heels in such profusion that on Monday afternoon it was ( difficult to select-as we may do during the week—which particular bonne bouche deserves most notice. The dancing of Mr. E. J. Lonnen and Miss Alice Lethbridge certainly struck ] everyone with admiration, and the song sung by ] Miss Grey in the first part was certainiy a hit. C Mr. Lonnen impersonates Baron Golosh with all his old inimitable drollery. Mr. Harry Paulton is at home in the part of Marreau" (a < market gardener), Mr. Scott-Russell and Mr. Frank Wyatt are "great" in the parts of 1 Gustave and Count Acacia" respectively. Miss Florence Perry is practically the prima donna of the company. She and Mr. Scott- Russell are both ex-members of D'Oyly Carte's companies and they both sing with power and effect. Miss Perry is ("Clementine" (" Golosh's" daughter); Miss Alice Lethbridge, the facinating Gaiety dancer, takes the part of Madelan and Miss Sylvia Grey, of world-wide fame, enacts Countess Acacia." These are all vivacious parts, and ( the three ladies are thoroughly equal to them. The music is by Andran (composer of "La J Cigale "), with a couple of additional songs j (and very good ones they are) by Mr. Leslie 1 Stuart. The increased orchestra is conducted by Herr Meyer Lutz. The dances are arranged by Mr. John Dauban, and the splendid cos- ] tumes in which the company appeared are by 1 Harrisons (Limited). j

A SAD BEREAVEMENT. ALDERMAN D. JONES LOSES HIS SON AND GRAND-CHILD. Alderman David Jones returned to his home at Cardiff on Monday after a journey to Madeira to visit his son, Mr. Harry Jones, who had been ordered there some few months ago in the hope of prolonging his life. The change of climate, unfortunately, did not produce the desired effect, and it was at last determined to bring the invalid home. The return journey was commenced on Wednesday, but Mr. Harry Jones did not long survive, and died on board. He was buried at sea, and Alderman Jones re- turned home on Monday to find the nine- year-old daughter of his dead son lying dead in the house. Mr. Harry Jones, who was a partner in the firm of Jones Bros, (sons of Alderman David Jones and of his brother, the late Alderman Daniel Jones), was much respected tor tis amiable and sunny disposition. Like most of the Jones family, he took a warm interest in cricket, and the breakdown in his health was the cause of sorrow to a large circle of friends. Much sympathy will he felt for the family in their double and singularly sad bereavement.

NEW THEATRE AT SWANSEA. INTERVIEW WITH MR. EDWARD FLETCHER. A representative of the "Western Mail" on Monday evening saw Mr. Edward Fletcher, the popular lessee of the Theatre Royal, Car- diff, with reference to the rumour that he was about to be connected with a new theatre at Swansea. Mr. Fletcher said there was some truth in the statement, but the announcement published was not quite correct. A number of influential gentlemen had deter- mined to have a new theatre, and, admiring the splendid companies which had been brought to the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, and the excellent manner in which the pieces had bpju t Bodied, they ,-C"cited Mr. Fletcher to become lessee of the new theatre, and pledged their s. pport. No more can be said on the subject at present, but in diue time other information will be given.

LABOUR REPRESENTATIVES I -r-- MR. GLADSTONE AND THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE. At Hawarden on Monday afternoon Mr. Gladstone received a deputation representing the Leeds, Huddersfield, and Heavy Woollen District Federation of Liberal Ciubs, who presented him with a set of books and an address eulogising his public services. Mr. Gladstone, in reply, satid a most serious trial was now offered to the people "of England, the majority of whom were now in possession of the greater share of political power. Whatever way they chose to exercise it, they had now got to show whether their tempe- rance, their moderation, and* alwwe all, their preference for the general and national interest ware superior to interests which were sectional. He hoped they would bear the trial with honour and advantage. It was a comfort to him to reflect that they had already shown remarkable capacity for the exercise of poli- tical power by the selection of their repre- sentatives. The class of members of Parlia- ment called the Labour members 'was com- posed of men whose conduct had been admi- rable, and their selection was most creditable to their constituents. Passing from politics to the subject of public libraries, Mr. Gladstone said it was a delightful tiling to, see how such institutions had spread far and wide. The greatest credit was due to the publicans and innkeepers who conducted their houses of business properly, but, still, that could not always be the case, and the danger could not always be got rid of. It was right, therefore, that a fair and healthy competition should be set up by facilities being given for mental cultivation and recrea- tion in the shape of libraries.

AT CARDIFF RACES. A WELL-KNOWN HORSE BREAKS ITS NECK. In the Welsh Grand National Steeplechase, the most important event at Ely on Monday, an accident occurred to Barmecide, ridden by W. Canavan. At the second fence past the stand Barmecide over-jumped himself, and, turning a somersault, came down a purler," breaking his neck. Barmecide, after Deerstalker, was the best backed candidate in the race. His jockey was rather badly hurt about the face, several of his teeth being knocked out, and having a nasty wound on the forehead. Besides this, however, he luckily sustained no serious injury, Uikt was badly shaken.

FOUND DEAD. A MAN DIES ON THE CARDIFF FOOTBALL FIELD. On Monday morning shortly after nine o'clock Police-constable Dyment was called into the Cardiff Arms Park, where he found the dead body of a man in a sitting position. The body was identified as that of Samuel Perry, of No. 42, Penarth-road. The cause of death is supposea to have been heart disease.

EASTER MANOEUVRES. LONDON VOLUNTEER BRIGADES IN THE FIELD. The Easter manoeuvres in connection with the Metropolitan Volunteer Corp*; took place on Monday in several districts, and there were not the combined operations which were a dis- tinguishing feature in former years. A larffe tnvmber of men had been on the scene of the various movements since Thursday, but a con- siderable number joined them on Monday morn- ing. The West London Brigade had a field- day in the direction of Caterham, representing, according to the mobilisation scheme, the part they would have to play in the southern defence of London. In the neighbourhood cf Brighton there was a mimic fight. in which the local corps tcok part against the Metropolitan visitors. One of the largest gatherings, comprising the South London Brigade and other corps, with some com- panies of Regulars, vras at Windsor, &nd a. long day was occupied in the movements of two forces, one advancing on and the other defending LencVm. The East London Brigade'engaged in similar manoeuvres near Canterbury, and the Volunteer Engineers were at Chatham. CCIDENT TO AN ARTILLERY DRIVER. During the manoeuvres a lamentable accident befel Driver Elliott, of the 1st Sussex Artillery Voknteers. Elliott's horse slipped just after leaving Brighton to take up their jiositions. and the unfortunate man fell among- the horses attached to a gun carriage. He was trampled upon and severely injured.

Latter Day Shakers. STRANGERELIGION AMONG INDIANS. A. Chief's Vision of the Prophet W-hila in a Trance was the Origin of This New Belief. The Pennsylvania '"Shakers," whose peculiar religious ceremonies won for them that title, well-known many years ago. scarcely receive into fellowship the bearers of the title now to be found among the Indians living north of the Columbia. and about Puget Sound, yet the latter may be acceptable to the Almighty. They cer- tainly are "good Indians" while alive, in per- petual disproof of the frontier idea that the only "good Indians" are dead. There are about 300 Indians of 'this faith, and John Slokum, of the Squaxim Reservation, is the 2hief prophet. Thirteen years ago this pro- phet was a bad man. He drank whisky, bet, ■iwore. gambled, raced horses ond led a reck- Less life generally, but withal he was a busi- ness man and acquired considerable property. The Indian doctors got hold of him with the idea of mfaking very sick, so that they could make him pay well to be cured, but they dosed him, too much, and, after wasting away to a skeleton, he died, or appeared to do 130, and they oovered his body with blankets and sent a ^4 canoe to Olympia for a coffin., After lying ? in .state for 2!t- hours the supposed corpse '? startled its wacchers by throwing off the blank etJsand sitting up. The resurrected Indian told a curious ctorv. His soul, freed from the body, went on a journey and came to a fine house. The door opened noiselessly, and lie heard a, voice say: "Go into the next rocm." Stepping through the automatically- eviiiging door, he saw a tine-looking man, who aeked him if he believed iu God while oa earth. He said he did, but was promptly cont: adiefced by the nian, who took him usfto a,-other room and showed him a picture of all his bad deeds. He then said: "I will take you where you CAD see fire."
