TAFF YALE RAILWAY. ANOTHER MASS MEETING OF WORKMEN AT CARDIFF, Mass meetings of Taff Vale Railway emplhyes -if anything, larger and more enthusiastic thau the meeting a fortnight since—were held on Sunday morning and afternoon in the Colonial- hall. Cardiff, to consider the latest grievance of the men against the management in violating, as they allege, the holiday clause of the agree- ment of 1890. There were sympathetic depu- tations from the Rhymney a.nd Barry Railways, and there must have been quite 2.000 present. Mr. Frederick Jones occupied the cliair. and, in cppfung, said the men had resolved that the committee should take action with reference to the stoppages tha.t had taken place in the men's waires for the Good Friday week, and which were tlir'iatemd for the following weeks for an indefinite -period. The management had seen fit to withdraw the notices, but up to the pre- sent time they had not seen their way clear to Day the men for the stoppages that occurred in fJ-ood Friday week. He read the correspondence whichi had passed between their secretary and the company. The letter of Mr. Jolm Jones (secretary of the company), dated May 1, was as follows:—"Sir,—Your letter of the 22nd ult., enclosing copies of a resolution, was submitted to the directors at their meeting on the 30th, and, I am instructed to in reply to the aue.-tlouis contained m your letter, that the course pursued by the heads of department whs taken under the full authority and with the approval of the directors, an unusual in- terruption of labour having ar.isen in conse- ouen-ce of The large proportion of miners having, for the first, time, come to the determination Hot to work on Good Friday or on the following dav," It would thus be seen that the manage- ment was upheld in withholding the men's watres for the Good Friday week. It was said thev laid the blame on the railwaymen in soliciting a stoppage on Good Friday of the oolliejies. It was, found, however, that the maiority of the collieries were stopped through no cause of that sort, but principally through want of empties. Therefore, in his opinion, the management were not justified in stopping or bringing into force the unusual inter- ruption clause for Good Friday weok. (Applause.) —Mr. James Taylor then moved the first resolu- tion. He said that since the meeting held a fortnight ago things had undergone a consider- able change, and lie could not conceive but that the management were fully aware that they did wrong in not rectifying what they had done. This only proved that the action which the men took at the meeting was perftctly justified. (Applause.) He coifid not under- stand how the wual diminution of traffic at holiday times could be interpreted as unusual interruption. The men made less time in Easter week than Good Friday week, and yet the management paid them the full rate of wages for Easter week, but not for Good Fri- day week. (Applause.) ivot only that, they had violated the 1890 agreement most delibe- rately and unwarrantably. In the Rhondda Valley three collieries were stopped. One of these, he admitted, had a very large output. He referrtd to Tynewydd—(laughter)—and the other was not much larger—Fernhill. The most important was Olydach Vale. With the exception of the Ocean and Great Western Collieries—which regarded this as an annual holiday—the whole of the collieries were stopped for want of empties and for other reasons. He moved a resolution regretting the tenour of the letter of the board of directors,, regarding it as the result of a one- sided representation of the case, and pointing out that this was another proof of the necessity of the employes being represented before the board when matters affecting them were to be considered, and appealing to them to suggest some such means or hear the men. It had now come to this, said the speaker, that unless they proved themselves men the committee could not stand. They had for many years been convinced that there codld not be that friendly feeling which ought to exist between the management and the men unless the former was prepared to conciliate and meet thc-qil periodically.—Mr. E. John (driver), Cardiff, in seconding the resolution, said public opinion was on their side. He urged that they should agitate with a view of getting the company to refund the wages they had withheld a.nd to withdraw the notices they had given. (Applause.)—The resolution was then carried unanimously.—Mr. J. France (Ferndale) proposal that as there was no un- usual interruption of labour at .the collieries in Good Fridv week, the men regarded the stopped payment aa being without the spirit of their terms of service, and that the same be again relegated to the board of directors for further consideration, with an appeal that the men's representatives be given a hearing, so as to avoid any further development of the present irritation, regarding, as thiey did, the present breach mainly due to the appeal of the men's representatives to discuss the situation being contemptuously treated by the management. —Mr. W. Inder (Ferndale) seconded the reso- lution.—Mr. J. Bater (Cardiff), in supporting it, complained that the management did not in a proper spirit accept the committee a-s the men's representatives. It was undeniable that life on the Taff was hardly worth living, but, if need- lie, they were a." prepared as ever to meet Mr. Beasley.—Mr. Payne (Cardiff) and Mr. God- frey (Ferndale) also supported the resolution, which Wa.8 also carried unanimously.—The Chair- man then said they had before them a question of far greater moment. He referred to the notices issued last week to some 120 work- men, and that action, he took it. was even more unwarrantable on the part, of the management than that of posting up the notice which brought into operation the un- usual interruption clause. They were not prepared to allow any section of their fellow- workers to suffer, and, speaking on their behalf, he said they were willing to bear their share of the burden. (Applause.)— Mr. George Thomas (Aberda.re) proposed "That this meeting views the wholesale dis- charge of men engaged in traffic manipula- tion as wholly unwarrantable, the plea of depression of trade put forth as a pretext I being used as an aid and blind to the public in justification of their action. We further emphatically declare at this present time that the staff is inadequate to meet trade re- quirements, as proved by men making over- time. a-nd the difficulty day after day of manning trains, and that we hereby give full plenary powers to the committee to finally I sefcU* this matter upon the understanding. that the notices recently given be cancelled."— Mr. James Taylor, as one of the deputation who waited upon Mr. Beasley, said the latter told them the notice meant that if trade did not warrant them in keeping on the men they would be discharged. They reserved the right of giving notice to whomsoever they thought fit, and if they did not feel inclined to take them on they could go.—Mr. Beadon supported the resolution.—Messrs.. Phillips and Morgan then submitted their report of the interview they had with Mr. Riches upon the same subject. Mr. Riches said the notice implied leaving the company's service altogether. The company could discharge whom they liked, but the directors hoped to cancel the notices before the time had expired. -In response to an invitation 238 held up their hands as a declaration that they had worked more than 60 hours during the five days last week; 45 signified in a similar way that they had worked less time than uf;ual.-After fur- ther discussion the resolution was adopted nem. con.—Mr. William Reed next proposed, "That this meeting urges its representatives to take immediate steps to give effect to the resolu- tions previously passed, and if every other means fail, the matters in dispute be relegated to arbitration forthwith; that the naming of and agreeing to, an arbitrator be left to the committee,.and that we recommend the name of Mr. James Inskip." (Applause.)—Mr. Blake seconded.—Mr. James Taylor said it had been j-uggested that Alderman David Jones or Mr. Tiaisoelles {*arr should arbitrate, Iwit, much as they respeottd those gentlemen, they could not forget that it was Mr. Inskip who framed the .agreement.—Tlie resolution having been carried, Mr: James TarIor proposed, "That all those who have received notice after the ex- piration of the term specified refrain from going to the company's offices and grounds or consulting the officials until after the meeting to be held this day fortnight." This was seconded and carried, and the meeting then separated.

LOCAI4 AMUSEMENTS. "THE LADY SLAVEY" AT CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. That excellent and popular musical comedv "The Ladv Slavey" pays its third visit 'to the Cardiff Theatre Royal this week, where. no 1 doubt, it will repeat the success that it has always secured in the Welsh Metropolis. With the exception of one -or two changes, the artistes are -.he same as appeared in the pre- vious productions of the piece. "THE STILL ALARM" AT THE GRAND THEATRE. The exciting and exceedingly popular melo- drama "The Still Alarm" is the attraction which Mr. Sounes has provided for the nume- rous patrons of the Grand Theatre for the present week. A talented and jwwerful company of artistes is engaged :n the produc- tion. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. For his principal attraction during the pre- sent week Mr. Stoll has engaged Mr. T. E. Dunville, an artiste who, although new to Cardiff, is regarded in London as a comedian second only to Dan Leno. The other artiste.s are the Si-sters Morgan, two little Cardiff girls who were engaged in the last Royal pantomime; the Alexandra Trio, vocalists and dancers; Lilian Robina., serio-comic; Allis and Juan, comedians and acrobats; Frank Coyne, eccentric comedian; Ed- monds, black comedian and dancer; and Agnes Hazel, the pretty and popular vocalist. NEWPORT. Miss Jenny Hill's accomplished daughter, Miss Peggy Pryde, heads the bill at Mr. Stoll's Newport house this week. Varities will be contributed by Griffin and Langan, dancers; Jove and Jonny, grotesque acro- bats; Herbert Le Martine. saltatorial prodigy; Nan Twibell, serio-comic; Ernest Trow- bridge, character vocalist; Fred Newby, vocal comedian and, lastly, Frank Folloy and the Harvey Boys in that screaming absurdity, "M'Ginnes'g Kitchen." PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. Though Qswald Stoll lios during the period of his management of the above-mentioned popular place of amusement put before his patrons every- thing of the best, it is doubtful if he has not sur- passed himself by providing a company such as that appearing this week. George Lupino's troupe, pantomimists to the manner born, head the list. This talented troupe will appear in their intensely funny pantomimic absurdity, The Magic Gem, or Robinson Crusoe." Fol- owing this exceptionally dCTer turn comesDando, the miniature comedian, 24 years old and 27in. high, every one of his 27 inches being full of the concentrated essence of comedy. Switz and Holstein, who made such a pronounced success during their last visit, again provide the Cardiff public with a treat in the form of original acts of legerdemain. Ziobe, the shadowist, is probably one of the devest exponents of this class of entertainment, and then there is Miss Carrie Joy, an extremely engaging young serio, who has but to be seen and heard to command an enthusiastic welcome. The various other attractions are in full blast and provide a series of attrctions not to be equalled in any place of entertainment in the Principality. A full band, under the able conductorship of Mr. T. W. Rosser, discourses sweet music during the afternoons and evenings.

FREEDOM OF CARDIFF. THE INSCRIPTION ON THE CAS-, KET FOR SIR E. J. REED. The proposed inscription for the Sir Edward Reed casket lends further colour to the sugges- tion that Sir Edward may, after all, accept the freedom of the borough of Cardiff and, at the same time, seek to retain the representation, his retirement from which was the occasion of the decision to present him with the freedom. The in- scription, which is as follows, is carefully worded to avoid all reference to his supposed impending resignation: — "Presented to Sir Edward James Reed. K..U.B., M.P., with the honorary freedom of the county borough of Cardiff, in recognition of the eminent and distinguished services rendered by him to the town and port of Cardiff as member of Parliament during the period 1880-95." It is obvious that in this inscription other things are omitted besides the reference to Sir Edward s retirement, and we hasten to supply, the. deficiencies of the City Fathers by suggest- ing the following: — "Presented to Sir Edward James Reed. K.C.R.. M.P., with the honorary freedom of the county borough of Caj'diB', on the occasion of his retirement (in a huff) from the Parlia- mentary representation of that borough, as some slight salve for the flouts of an ungrate- ful party and the wooden-headed stupidity with which the dispensers of place and power have continuously overlooked his transcendant abilities." To such of our readers as care for such com- petitions we offer one of Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co 's books (published at 2s.) for the best inscription for the casket. On Saturday the Mayor of Cardiff (Alder- man P. W. Carey) convened a meeting of the special committee appointed tiD make the necessary arrangements for the presentation to Sir Edward Reed, M.f. for Cardiff. The meeting was held in the mayor's parlour, and was of a private character. The business was to decide the date on which the presenta- tion shall take place. In order to allow more time for making arrangements it was decided to name June 8 and 15, and ask Sir Edward which would be the more suitable for him.

LUCKY NEATH SPORTSMAN. APPLICATIONS TO HELP NON, CONFORMISTS. Our Neath correspondent writes _It is somewhat singular, in the face of the tirades which Nonconformists a-re continually launch- ing against betting and the turf, that Mr. J. D. Porter, of Neath, who recently made the grand coup, should have been approached to invest JB700 at 4 per cent. on a chapel build- ing at Llanelly, and to subscribe towards a struggling elsh Wesleyan Chapel in the Rhondda. Yet such is the fact. I have been favoured with the perusal of the correspon- dence in connection with the latter case. The minister pleads most earnestly for a donation and winds up the communication with the words. "Any contribution will be gratefullv received." The application from Llanelly a verbal one, and, in the event of Mr. t orter advancing the money there are several prominent and presumably well-to-do trades- men who would be willing to affix their names to the security-a, promissory note.

PRICE OF FLOUR AT SWANSEA. The grocers, bakers, and flour dealers of Swansea notify that the price of flour is forth- with increased 2d. per score and bread 4d. pjr 41b. loaf. This step is ta.ken in consequence of the great advance in the flour market.

The Wives of Statesmen SOME INTERESTING CHAT ABOUT FAMOUS LADIES. Tlie Wives of Eminent Statesmen" is the subject of an article in the "Woman at Home" far May, t.he sketches having reference to the wives of statesmen of the present reign. "Perhaps," says the writer, "the most unhappy in his married state was the first of her Majesty's PrinM Ministers. Lord Melbourne's wife. Caroline Ponsouby, was wilful and vain. It is recorded even of Lady Melbourne that she would leap ou 'to the middle of the dining- table to give a lesson to the startled butler as to the proper height of a centre-piece; she would sit at her de,k dressed like a page, and on going to a ball she would take a seat by the side of the coachman iiiid throw herself into 'the arma of the footman ou getting down. "Very beautiful, on the other hand, though, pathetic, was the married life of the Premier, Earl of Aberdeen. His lirst wife. Lady Catherine Hamilton, was too bright, a being to remaiu long on the earth, and. although he jived happily for eighteen years with his second wife, who was the widow of his first wife's brother, the earl constantly wore mourning for Lady Cat-herine from the day of her funeral till lilg own death, nearly 50 years later. "Lady Pal mere ton was one of the most managing of Prime Minister's wives. Disraeli i described her as among the most accamplishedl women of the time. VISCOUNTESS BEACONSFIELD. "The devotion of Disraeli and his wife to eac-h other is well known. "Vhy don't you marry your colleague's widow t asked Count DOrsay, adding, 'She's very rich.' Dizzy took the advice, although he had previously described the lady, when she wa^s the wife of his colleague in the representation of IVIaicLstone, as a ole\erf a rattling flirt. He married for money, and he *■ fell in. love with his wife. She was not beauti- ful; she was about fifteen years older than him. self. and she made gauche remarks about him, but, she dervoted herself to him in the spirit of a, heroine, ajid became the confidante ajid adviser of the Conservative leader. His fondness for Mary Anne' grew, in the opinion of the world- 1'lings, to be uxorious. He dedicated 'Sybil' to her and. as Iroude says, the moment in his whoie life which, perhaps, guv*3 him greatest delijyht wis tliat- at which lie was able to decorate his wife with a peerage. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S WIDOW. "The widow of Earl Russell-or. as most "people call him, Lord John Russell—still lives at Pembroke Lodge. Richmond Park. How the home life of a Minister may react ou his public life will be realised from a letter which Lord Russell sent to his wife :—'Baron Stock mar came ill,' he wrote, 'and asked what had made j me so low yesterday. I was obliged to say it ft y.as your not being so well. He could'not imaguie so simple a cause; he thought that' there must be something wrong in tlie state of j Europe.' | "MRS. GLADSTONE. | Mm Gladstone's example has been a potent'- ? agency for good during the last quarter of a; century in the married lives of modern states- men. She herself is the pattern of a good wife; ~Ji ajl^e^ 'n the house. Althougii not a iady of showy intellectual gifts, and although she lias never set up as a queen of society, the Liberal party owe to her an incalculable debt of gratitude. She has watched over the per-, scnal interests of her gifted husband with an- all-absorbiup devotion, which 1ms excited the-! ridicule of the scoffer, but which has attracted- the affectionate admiration cf common i>tople. At t-h*> golden wedding of the distingujsllpd. pair, now nearly six years ago. MN1. Gladstone was described as, not only the dearest of (010.- panious, but the most- devoted and efficient of lielpuiicets. without whose self-consecration to j the interests of her husband and her children, j the public work of the great statesman must 4^ have l>een seriously fettered. Mr. Gladstone j liimstilf failed to find words to express the ] debt lie owed her in relation to all the offices j that she had discharged during 'the long and j happy period of our conjugal union.' j During recent years Mrs. Gladstones figure I in the Ladies' Gallery of the House of Com- f mons became almost a-s familiar as that- of Mr. i Gladstone himself on the floor below. It has j been left on record that- Mrs. Gladstone was M a potent canva»ser at the Oxford election in ? 1847; and even in Midlothian her sweet smile may have won hesitating votes. THE MARCHIONESS OF SALISBURY. "Lady Salisbury, of whom one naturally thinks next. inherited much of the talent of her father. Baron Alderton, who was one of the wittiest and ablest judges of his time. She was a niece of Mrs. Opie, who had at one time a considerable reputation both as poet audi novelist. There is a romauce connected with her marriage. A judge's daughter was not considered a sufficient match for the 80U of a marquess. The late Lord Salisbury tried to prevent the match, but as bis S011.. then Lord Robert Cecil, was persistent, he J. so far relented as to make terms. These 3 were tliat Lord Robert should undertake not to see or oommunica-te with Miss Alderson for an entire year. The young lover stood the test, and at the close of the year he ob- tained his father's consent; but the marquess, while continuing his allowance of £ 600 a year, declined to increase it. So runs the story; and it has been said that the necessity of mc doing something for his own support may have assisted to develop the noble lord's talent. At any rate, he obtained a wife whose compatibility of dissrxwtion has made his domestic life as pure and peaceful as that of any public man of our time. Lady Salis- bury is a strong-minded, practical woman, and a repartee, which survives in Mime memoirs, will shew how sharp is her intellect After Lord (Van-lxmie—as her husband had then become—hud resigned office, afonff wi. J Lord Carnarvon and General Peel, on account 0 of the Reform Bil of 1867. Lord Derby asked her if she remained awake all night, like Cranborii-e, calculating the effects of the Bill. "N'e, she said. 'I was engaged in a sum of subtraction, and I found that if you took three from twelve (the nunilicr of the Cabinet) nothing remained." LADY ROSEBERY AND LADY HAR, COURT. "I/ord Rosiebery has no wife, now to receive his truest-s and to represent him in the Drawing Rooms of Mayfair. He entertains small parties of lxjliticians at dinner during the session, but male dinners are, in general, not amusing. A neep into Lord Rosebery's home life was given in a letter by the late Lord Houghton whil* staving with him in 1880. 'Rosebery.' he wrote, 'is devoted to hit baby. whom he carries about all day." The death of his wife- one of the kindest ladies who ever lived—drovd him long from public life. It was partly m order to assuage his grief that Mr. Tolm Morley induced him to write the, life of Pitt in the 'Twelve English Statesmen' series. As Disraeli did with 'Sybil.' Lord Rosebery dedicated the book to his wife. 'My chief happiness in completing it.' he wrote, Srould have been to give it to my wife; i G W now only be inscribed to her memory.' "Lady Harcourt. the second wife of Sir William, was a daughter of Mr. Motley, the American historian, who wa.s at one time the United States Minister in London. She is tall, pleasant lady, and presides with iignuy 1I.t, the official reception* in Downing-street. but she shares her husband's proverbial affection for his 'own fireside' in the New Forest, aud she avoids unnecessary publicity."
