ROGER TICHBORNE.
ROGER TICHBORNE. SECOND INSTALMENT OF THE CON- FESSIONS OF THE CLAIMANT. The "People" of Sunday next will contain Part II. of tiie confession of Arthur Ortou, the Tidhborne Claimant. In this second instal- ment hp Telates how the advertisement for Sir Roger Tichborne in the "Australian Times" came under his noticei At first lie determined merely to have a lark with his acquaintances, particularly one Slade, who brought him the paper coortaining the advesrtiBement. He had always tofld bis acquaintances in Wagga Wagga. that he wae of good family and superior to the petition lie was holding, and that one day he was likely to come into possession of great riches, tip to this time he had never heard the name of 'liohborne in his life, nor had he ever awen the missing Sir Roger, to whom the ad- v<rtk*«ment referred. Slaoo first told him that he answered the description of Tichborne contained in the. advertisement. Orton says he did not deny the assertion, but atisumed a my fterioTMs air even to being moved to tears, wid ?'? answer ODE whetistu: he was the person sought for. Slade, "after leaving tSie paper with Orton for several days, eventually took it away, and the Claimant learnt that it had been loft with Gibbes, an attorney, who resided next to his butcher's shop. Gibbes communicated with him, and insisted that Orton was Sir Roger Tichborne, amd that lie and his wife had talked the matter over, and were fully assured in their belief. The Claimant told the attorney to mind hie own business. Gibbes then threatened to write home, and Ortou warned him that he might land the pair of them in difficulties. About this time he got into monetary diffi- oulties. and Gibbs relieved him oil the strength of his expectations. He was then known by the name of Thomas Castro, and followed the business of a butcher. In oourse of conversa- tion with Slade the Claimant found that his friend came from tHajnpehire and knew Tich- borne intimately. Orton thereupon set to work to "suoh Slade's brains," and gleaned much from him about his own prtiended con, noxions. Gibbes bad written to Lady Tich- borne and offered to find Orton money to euiabie him to return to England. The Claimant wjis also persuaded to write to Lady Tichborne for a sum of L200 to make preparations for his re- turn. As a matter of fact, he intended to use the money, should he yueoeed in getting it, to pay his passage to Paramatta. Gibbe's intro- duced him to Mr. Cotter, a bank manager, as Sir Roger Tichborne. Mr. Cotter advanced him money, and lie prepared to leave Wagga- Wagiga. He bought a horse and cart, and with his wife and child journeyed by stages to Sydney. In a further instalment will be told Orton's doings in Sydney and his departure for Parraoiatta.
ALLEGED CHARITY ABUSE.
ALLEGED CHARITY ABUSE. AN INDIGNATION MEETING HELD IN ROATH. In consequence of certain allegations of in- discriminate oharity made by the secretary in his report at the quarterly meeting of the general committee of the Cardiff Charity Organisation Society, whioli meeting was held on Wednesday evening last, a conference of the committee which had been formed in the Roath district for the purpose of distri- buting the good things provided by the mayor's fund during last winter's severe weather U was called for on Friday evening at the Clifton- street Reading-room. At this meeting the ex-mayor (Councillor W. J. Trounce) presided. Mr. R. Prust, secretary of the committee, who had convened the meeting, explained that the observations of the Charity Organisation Society reflected upon the systems employed by the various committees formed under the general relief fund. Although their com- plaint?, which, personally, he thought were particularly "uncharitable." had Illot been specifioally laid against the Roath Committee, that body thought that it ought to publicly refute any imputation with regard to itself, and directly deny that anything of the kind which was hinted at by the Charity Organi- sation was entirely without foundation as far a<; Roath was concerned.—Several members of the committee then expressed themselves to the effect that in their distributions they had been most careful, and in no case was money or provision given without careful considera- tion and thoughtful inquiry into the needs of the recipients.—No resolution was passed.

How to End Strikes,
How to End Strikes, A PARTNERSHIP OF CAPITAL AND LABOUR. To the Editor. Sir,-Rea.ders of the press who have fe-It. generous concern at the great boot and shoe trade lock-out will, no doubt, be interested in knowing bow in some districts the workers in that trade have solved the questions at issue for themselves, by the application of the principle of the partnership of labour in the profits and management of industry. In Kettering, which, is fast becoming an impor- tant centre of the boot and shoe industry, a few workers started in 1889, with their own capital, to build up a business where this prin- ciple of labour co-partnership should be ap- plied. The essence of the principle, briedy stated, is that after standard wages and an ordinary commercial rate of interest on capital have been paid, labour should receive an equitable share of the remaining profit as a dividend upon the wages earned, and that this profit to labour should, up to a certain point, capitalise as shares in the business. The following figures illustrate the remark' able progress the concern has made: Reserve Members Capital Trade Profits Fund. £ £ £ £ 1889 208 1033 5587 336 40 1890 271 1890 9930 684 116 1891 303 2582 13873 929 199 1892 378 3582 19255 1364 254 1893 433 4526 19793 1540 270 1894 478 5355 22282 1641 368 After the founders had shown that the principle was sound, outside capital came in to help tiiem; but, all of the 200 workera now employed are shareholders to a consider- able amount per head'; in fact, no worker it allowed to withdraw 'his share of profit until lie or she holds at least £ 25 share capital in the society. In this way every worker, not only secures a voice in controlling the in- dustry, but also takss a share of the financial responsibility. Another successful instance in the same trade of the application of this principle is that of the Leicester Equity Boot and Shoe Manufacturing Society, which is employing over 300 workers, and steadily increasing the number. The following are tihe figures, show- ing progress from the foundation of the sooiety Tear Members Capital Reserve Trade. £ £ £ 1887 220 420 20 2800 1888 304 1420 81 8600 1889 578 3480 173 13674 1890 708 4371 184 19730 1891 737 '4776 250 25134 1892 846 6666 342 32954 1893 925 9009 442 33375 1894 964 11502 492 3707f Total profit made.

In kbese workshops strikes and' lock-outs are avoided, and the worker is given an oppor- f tunity of attaining a, higher standard of in-J telKgence through being admitted to a Sharef in the responsibility of conducting his industry. The principle is also being applied to other industries twith equally good results; in fact, there are over 100 workshops, in Great Britain to-day where it is in operation. Of failures j there have, it is true, been many in the past: but, with the spread of knowledge amongst-1 the workers, these become fewer and the 1 success more marked. We may add that the i Labour Association for promoting co-operative i production will be glad to supply full informa- i tion concerning this movement to any of your j readers who may be interested in the matter. | At the present juncture, however, it is not { so much successful attempts of workers to ( establish businesses of their own on a oo-part- nership principle which will interest the public, as the fact that tne same principle has been repeatedly applied by ordinary employers to produce harmony between themselves 'and their w orkmen. We do not refer to mere profit-sharing, but to co-partnership such as v described above in profit, capital, and control. Messrs. Wm. Thomson and Sons (now Limited), of Huddersfield, cloth manufao^- turers; Brownfield and! Sons (now Brown- V, field's Guild Pottery, Limited), in Stafford-. f1 shire, are instances in point. Others could | be quoted, especially some remarkable ones on the Continent and. in America. We draw attention to tliew, however, because it is not our present object to urge starting new co-1 operative productive workshops in the boot | £ and s-hoe trade, seeing tfhat there are already a large number of these working for the oo- f operative market, but rather the adoption of the "co-partnership" principle in existing > businesses trading in open market, with all* their advantages of capital, trade connection, jf and trained staff. The advocates of the principle feel that its extension throughout our industrial lifa would be productive of the greatest good, both in the interests of the worker and of tha. general community. The Association desires' to brmg the a;bove facts to the notice of both* employers and employed in the boot and shoe industry. We confidently hope that as they become more known they will lead to more and more efforts in the same direction, and' that gradually the danger of such great labour struggles as we 'have lately had will be done away with.

-?------? LEWIS MORRIS HONOURED.
-?-? LEWIS MORRIS HONOURED. KNIGHTHOOD FOR THE POET OF PENBRYN. All Wales will rejoice this morning to learn that Mr. Lewis Morris has received the dis- tinction of knighthood, his name appearing among the birthday honours. If any three men in Wales were asked what tfcpy knew of Mr. Lewis Morris, as many diffe- rent answers would be elicited. A Welsh lawyer would say that he wa<s a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and has been ever einoe 1861; a Welsh schoolmaster would insist upon having it that Lewis Morris was a great Welsh educa- tionalist, and was member of Lord Aberdare's Comjnittee in 1889, and. had served his. country, well in, connection with the cause of higher edu- cation, even to acting as treasurer of the frst University College of Wales; the third, how- ever, would insist upon saying1 that Lewis Morris was a great Welsh poet, the descendant of Welsh poets and litterateurs, and in all proba- bility, the successor of Tennyson in the Lnureateship. Mr. Lewis Morris was born. Carmarthen liow" o £ i years ago, and w&t, educate*! air t>*e> Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in that town. He is an hon. Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, -where he took his decree. In 1861 he was called to the Bar at Lioooin's Inn, and he practised as a conveyancer and equity counsel for twenty years. In 1880 he was appointed one of the committee of inquiry into intermediate and hiffher education in Wales, and up to the grant- ing of the charter, in 1890, to the University College of Wales he aotad ail secretary of that institution, of which he is now the treasurer. Mr. Morris has always taken the deepest interest in educational matters, and sut the present time is on the council of the ^lou^i Wales Univer- sity Oollepje, aad a of the Bangot College- He is a J.P. for the county of Car- marthen, and resides at Penbiyn. In 1887 Mr. Morris received a silver medal from the Queen in recognition of his Jubilee Odo." Many other of his poetical works have been eminently successful, and lie is looked upon as the "Laureate of Wales." Among the more popu- lar poems written by Mr. Morris are The Epio of Hades," which has gone through 32 editions; Gwen," Songs of Life," Songs of Two Worlds," "The Ode of Life." and" Songs of Britain." He fi ret entered the political world in 1868, when he was invited to contest.' the Carmarthen Boroughs in the Liberal interest. At tha.t time, however, he retired in favo tr of the late Col. Stepney, and in 1883 ho gave way to Sir John Jcnes Jenkins. Two years later he was invited to become the candidate for East Car- marthenshire. but he again gave way on this CKiafeion to the late Mr. D. Pugh. In 1836 Mr. Morris contested the Pembroke Boroughs against the late Admiral Mayne, "by whom he was defeated. With most of the popular Welsh national movements Mr. Morris has been associated, and his main object in securing a seat in Parliament at the present time is to obtain for Wales a dogree-oonferruig univer- sity. He is an active member of the London C-ymmrodorion Society, and has held the posi- tion of chairman of the National Eif-teddfod Asfceiation. His residence is one of thu most picturesque :n the valley of the Towv, and he is ako the ow.ner of the Cyst-anog Estate, near Carmarthen, which is believed to contain valuable lead deposits. He slso owns a large anthracite property near Llanelly. He is a director of the Carmarthen Gas Company, and a trustee of the Grammar School, in which ha received his early training. Lewis Morris's first volume of poems WM not issued until 1872. though he wrote poetry a.t school, and got it published in The Sherbarnian," his school magazine. In the seventies he shared with Sir Edwin Arnold the hopeful expectations of thofe who speculated on who the laureate would be after Tennyson. The "Songs of Two Worlds," his.first attempt in public, were thoroughly conventional and no way startling. In everything he has writ- ten, Mr. Lewis Morris shows a healthy human sympathy aud a keen interest in every-day life. This has enabled him to give us "Chil- dren of the Street," "The Organ Boy," and ■similar pictures of simple realism, which clearly entitle, him to a conspicuous place. In ivis "Epic of Hades," undoubtedly his best work, he has boldy pfosseed Greek story into the service of English nespectbaility. In the Companion volume to the "Epio," th2 "Vision of Saints," there are many fine passages. Some of Mr. Morris's admirers have called him, half in apology, half in praise, the irtenpreter ot Tennyson to the ordinary man. They main that Mr. Morris is a Tennypon on a rather ordinary level, and this exactly if some- what awkwardly, expresses the secret of Mr. Monia's comparative failure. It is true that we have Tennyson on nearly eveoy page of Mr. Morris and even on the binding of his collected works but the voice is the voice of Jacob, who- ever gives the words.
