R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, oianoforte makers. ORGAN builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality if the musical instruments sup plied by them The DNT is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is uardlv necesssiry here to well upon its influence and commanding position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished BY Messrs. Heath and Sons It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how inereal- insrlv numerous, even in the homes of the working fiasees, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. Tho great maJority of the letters in this list RELATE to pianos, and while inanv of them have reference to JIOST cost'.v instruments containing all the latest hnprovements, supp.ied to the well-to-do. the greater number related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favou rable sign. For though in th-R* Principality music has for generations been the chief recreation for the people, it has for the 'NOST part been "horal music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now. however, receiving its fair chare of attention, and all those in true ,xvm|,athv with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from 1 verv quarter of the Principalitv, while not a few come from other portione of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speok most favourably of Messrs Heath's business method* as well as of their instruments. R. J. JJEATTT AND gONS INVITE INSPEØTlON. KULT LLT.VJS I'll ATEP LISTS AND VERDICT POST FKXK.

MINISTRY DISORGANISED. STARTLING SUGGESTION BY A RADICAL PAPER. The London "Daily Chronicle" of Tuesday, in a leader dealing with the result of the Italian elections, points out the fatal effects likely to follow in England at the coming eac- tion if the disaffection in the Liberal ranks is not healed, and sajrs :—We must not go to the election in a state of collapse, of ansemic nerve- lessness. The question arises whether the per- sonal difficulties within the Government can be settled either by the present combination, or by a mutual withdrawal of the two personalities concerned, couplcd with a reconstruction of the Government in a Radical sense. If the former course be taken, it is obvious that a formal arrangement between Lord Rosebery and Sir William Haroourt will not be enough, but that absolutely cordial and unconditional co- operation is esse- 1. If the latter, we had better begin to of the man who is to lead the fighting > roes in the country, and put some mettle into the Liberal organisations and the Liberal rank and file. Mr. Asquith's time for such a work may not be arrived, and it could obviously not come without a real call from the party, an overwhelming intel'ec- tual and moral need. But we do say plajnly that Liberalism is suffering from a. slackness of toae- Ti.e pajty progress. can re- cover from errors of tactics. But inanition, staleness, want of tone. and inspira- tion, are fatal to it. Evc-rv Liberal member knows that these faults exist in the present organisation of the party and the Government, and that they are being intensified at the most critical ppriod of a party's life—the eve of a general election. Something must be done to remove them. SPECULATION AS TO THE DISSOLUTION. The "Yorkshire Post" says:—A very un- settled feeling oontinuas to prevail in political circle-. Tha impression that the dissolution i." ac hand is all but universal, and speculation almost exclusively turns upon the precise time at which the inevitable end will come. On the whole, there is a disposition to favour tile first week in July as the period most- likflv to b? (--elected by the Government, who will then have r-ome to a.}>out the end cf their tether as far as file practical work of legislation is concerned, and they will be able to decide whether they shall fall gently on the Loonl Veto Bill or go;) out on the rejection of the Welsh Bill by the Upper House. Moreover, the electoral conditions will be more propi- tious then than later in the year, when thev have been discredited by a long and barren session. and Ministers will also have the advantage of going to the country when their forces are comparatively fresh. All these oir- cumstanoes. it is believed, are likely to weiph with the Government in deciding for a disso- lution in the favourite period between the hav and corn harvest. But, of course, their career may be cut short- even hefore that time.

CONSERVATISM IS CARDIFF. THE FIRST OFA SERIES OF OPEN- AIR MEETINGS. To show that Conservatives in Cardiff are not afriid to bring their principles directly under the notice of the working men of the town, and that-, in point of fact, giving pub- licity to their opiirons and the dissemination of their views are their chief aim, an open-air meeting was held on Tuesday evening at- the Pn'ot-t-road Bridge, Cardiff. Dr. Treharne presided, and was supported by Coun- cillors David and Hughes, Mr. James Jelfevy, Mr. M. E. Waddinnton, r.nd :1 large crowd of working men.— Mr. Waddington and Mr..Toffery having <.iv>ken iny>n current politics. Mr. Councillor Geo. David was called upon to Tduress the meeting. He spoke on the finances of the town, and alluded to the trood work clone by the estimate's committee in reducing the rate by 2d. in the JB. He urged that the whole of the rate should be collected within the period over which it was Vvlfuf. He appealed to the working men to keep down the rates, and so. by getting capi- talists to settle in the town, industries would 11e established which would be useful, 1,01. only hv providing employment for many workmen, but also in circulating money for the benefit of the townspeople at large.—Councillor Hughes 0111nh?"i:,pd t11(\ sr-me p0int, and the Chairman then brought the meeting to a close, the audience giving three cheers for Councillor David as they dispersed. OPEN-AIR MEEfHNG- TO-NIGHT. The sr<wsd open-air mectinrr will be he'd to- night (Wednesday) on the Fitzhamon-embank- inent. The chairman of the Riverside Ward will preside. Addresses will be delivered by Mr. Jen'ery, Mr. Waddington, and several town councillors.

SANITARY AUTHORITY. REPORT OF THE CARDIFF MEDI- CAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. The report of Dr. Edward YValford, the medical officer of health of the Cardiff Urban Sanitary Authority, for the tirst quarter of L895 has just been issued. The number of births registered during the thirteen weeks erd- ing March 30, 1895, was 1.390, and of these 7i6 were males and 674 females. This number corresponded to an annual birth-rate of 35-8 per 1,000 of the population, compared with S3 -5, the rate of the 33 large towns in ling- land and Wales. The number of deaths registered during the quarter was 877. Of these, 4j2 were males and 415 females. The 877 deaths corresponded to an annual death- r.it-e of 22 • 6 per 1,000. as compared with 21 • 7, the average rate in the first quarters of the live preceding years, and with 25-2, the rate in 33 large towns. The male death-rate was 23 -2 and the female 21 -7 per 1,000 of the sexual divisions of the population. The pro- portion of deaths under one year of age to registered births was equal to 164 per 1,000. In the 33 large towns the mean proportion was 161 per 1.000. The 877 death's from all causes included:—9 attribute: to diarrhoea; 13. whooping cough; 1, scarlet fever: 3, fever; 11, diphtheria; and 1, measles. The 38 deaths ascribed to these diseases corres- pond to an annual rate of 0 97 per 1.000. liv- ing, as compared with 2 • 01 the average rate in the first quarter of the five preceding years, and with 1 • 6 the average rate in the 33 large towns. The rate varied from 0-7 in Leicester and in Ruddersfield, 1 0 in Swansea and Brad- ford, to 2 6 in Gateshead and 2 7 in Bolton. During the quarter 229 cases of infectious disease were reported by medical practitioners. Thirty-nine cases of scarlet fever were ad- mitted inxo the sanatorium. as compared with 55 during the previous quarter. No deaths occurred during the quarter. The expenditure for the quarter, including the salaries and wages of the staff, amounted to JB189 7s. 7d. The receipts from the guardians and sanitary authorities for maintenance of pauper patients and patients from outside districts amounted to E16 5s. 8d. Peducting this from the amount expended, and dividing by the number of persons admitted, the cost per head was found to be £ 4 4s. The cost per week ner patient amounted to 10s. The mean reading of the barometer for the first quarter of J 8Q5 WAS 29 927 inches, and was -203 of an inch below ttie mean reading for the corresponding quarter of the six preceding years. The mean temperature of the air during the nuarter was 34 8 decrees, and was 5-5 degrees below the average for the correspond- ing quarter of the six preceding years. I

AN ECHO OF THE PAST. DEATH OF THE FATHER OF THE I WELSH FASTING GIRL. Twenty-five veirs go one of the men most I tail ed about in South Wales was Evan Jacob. I lethcrneuadd. ne r Pencader, for was he not the father of the famous "Welsh Fasting Girl," Sarah Jacob? That case of fasting, however, failed to bear the test which was brought to bear upon it, and the poor girl succumbed. Then followed criminal proceedings against the parents at Carmarthenshire Assizes, with the re- sult that they were found guilty of contribu- torv negligence, resulting in the death of the girl. A quarter of a century ha-" elapsed since then, but the facts are still fn sh in the [ memory of those who were old enough then to j remember the f'Cts. One of the principal actors in that interesting drama—Evan Jacob, the) father—has just passed away. He was now j well advanced in years, and until roeentlv fol- lowed the occupation of a cattle and pig dealer in a small way. Poul tless, the Ti, ii-t of the sad events in connection with his daughter followed him to the last, but he stoutly main- tained to the end that he was not guilty of any of the charges that were brought against him at the assizes.

THE DENBIGH BOROUGHS. SELECTION OF A LIBERAL CANDIDATE. Mr. Walter H. Morgan, of Pontypridd, having been invited to attend a meeting of the council of the Penbigh Boroughs Liberal Asso- ciation, journeyed with his wife to Ruthin on Monday, and there became the guest of Mr. J. Watkin Lurn'ey, of Haulfre. Accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Lumley, Mr. Morgan on Tuesday morning visited a large number of the electors in the town, including the Conservatives, who are numerous. He expressed his dislike of personal canvassing, but was told that he would have to do it up in North Wales. At midday on Tuts- day a meeting of the Liberal Council was held in the Liberal Club, and the chairman was Mr. J. E. Powell, of Wrexham. There was a full attendance of members, to whom Mr. Morgan, in the course of a short speech, announced his full concurrence with the authorised version of the Newcastle programme, and also with the policy and aspirations of the Welsh Labour party. He was questioned at considerable length upon various measures, such as the Miners' Eight Hours Bill. Upon the latter measure he withheld anything in the natuVe o £ a pledge until lie had had all opportunity to earn tne wishes of the miners in the neigh- bourhood of Wrexham, but he said that gene- rally lie favoured a legal eight hours day for all workmen whose occupations were dangerous to till lllseln's or likely to become dangerous to others in cases of overwork. The candidate retired^ and the council unanimously passed a resolution inviting him to contest the division, conditionally upon the invita- tion being confirmed by the borough associations. Mr. Morgan was re called, and thanked the meeting, and announced his readi- ness to accept the invitation should it receive the necessary confirmation. He was asked as to his knowledge of Welsh, and satisfied the meeting upon the point by translating his remarks into that language. In the evening the Liberal Association of Ruthin met, Mr! Morgan being present, and confirmed the selee- tion of the council- The Penbisrh Association will meet to-day ednesdav) at WYe\ham, and at Holt on Thursday, when the selection of the council will be finally endorsed. Mr. Morgan will probably open his campaign in a week or i w o, and will spend a month in the con.sti- tueney. The present member, who will retire the next election, is Mr. George Kenvon, and the Conservative candidate is Mr. Tudor riwell. of the South Wales Circuit, and 80D of Archdeacon Howell, of Wrexham. Mr. Howell ])::3 been very favourably received throughout the constituency, and his rev. father's influence will help him very much. -?- .?

NEWPORT ATHLETIC CLUB. ANNUAL MEETING OF MEMBERS HELD YESTERDAY. The annual meeting of the Newport Athletic Club was held at the Town-hall. Newport, on Tuesday evening, Mr. E. Belle.rby presiding.— In accordance with the new r des, the election of football officers and secretary was left to the committee to decide.—The Chairman, in intro- ducing the business, said there was no club in the whole world which offered more advantages to its members than the Uskside association did. The Chairman referred to the unique successes of the football team, and the doings of the cricket and hockey teams and the tennis plavers. The athletic meetings had also been well attended. He moved the adoption of the. annual report (a summary of which ha- appeared ;n these columns) and the financial account.— Air. W Moxon Fuller seconded, and ex^iressed his pleasure that professionalism had not been allowed to encroach upon the club. —The report was adopted.—Last- year's president (Lord Tredegar) and vice- presidents were re-elected, and reference wa6 made to Lord Tredegar's generosity in giving turf for the new cricket field. The general committee were re-elected, with the excep- tion that Messrs. F. H. Paunoey, A. Hen- shaw. and A. A. Newman were substituted for Messrs. Box. Barnett, and Sciville, who had left the town. Messrs. Parsons a.nd Rob- ienr were re-appointed auditors, and Mr. I Richard Mullock was elected a life-niemlter of the club. THE CAPTAINCY OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM. Ac. stated above, the appointment of U ot- ball officers ha.s been left to the committee to decide, but it may be mentioned that Mr. A. J. Gould will resign the captain- and that Mr. A. W. Boucher, vice-captain, wii" ')e appointed. Mr. F. H. Daumey will, no doubt, be chosen vice-captain.

--? To Cause an Earthquake I FRENCHMEN EXPERIMENT- ING IN AMERICA. Think They Know the Cause of Seis- mic Disturbances and are Anxious to Verify it. As a passenger train, pulled up at the iso- lated station of Naugatuck, in West Virginia, a couple of small, elegant-looking Frenchmen .s-tepped from a carriage, and, addressing a tall, gawky, green-looking native, inquired of him the direction to the hig gAA wells situated, a few milts below the Tun River. They em- ployed this young man a.- guide and baggage carrier, and he has just returned from down the river and relates the following interesting, but startling, news. which he was enabled to pick up from theiir conversation, carried on 7 in French, of which hfl has a slight knowledge. It seems that both of t-ht.-e gentlemen, Messrs. Paul Met/, a.nd Conrad Durand. of Tarn, went to America secretly for the. express purpose of experimenting in a novel way with some of Nature's forces. They are well-known writers- for scientific journals in France. The cause of earthquakes is a problem which has created a great 4eal of discussion betm een them, and fm which they have both different ideas"1 Mr Purand hold-; that all convulsions and upheavals are caused by large quantities of natural gas awumulating in caverns or natural reservoirs under the surface, and that it is the explosion of this gas through. ignition that causes the ruptures: while, on the other hand. Mr. Metz holds the. genHally accepted theory that it is the gradual cooling of the earth's crust and its more rapid contraction than the interior. Not long since tbf-e gentle- men reoeived from a civil engineer who had visited these gas wells a letter, in which they were described at length. They were told of the comparatively isolated situation, the nature of the soil, the geological formation, and the probable supposition of a large reservoir, from which the gas was escaping. On receipt of this information, Mr. Purand immediately determined to try an experiment, the ultimate result of which may produce a convulsion, or an earthquake that will shake up a large area of tha.t wild and thinly-settled countrv. and startle some of the sleepy deni- zens into mental activity, if nothing more, or it may end in a, fiasco," as Mr. Metz says. Durand bases his theory on the fact that an explosion will certainly follow when a spark or flame comes into C01\tact. with stored or accumulate J gases, a, frequently happens in coal mines On his arrival in New York, he purchased a small magneto-electro exploder, together with several miles of small insulated copper wir?. Arriving at the wells, he de- cided to experiment on the first well bored, which is at the mouth of Burning Creek, on the East Virginia, side. It is reported that when this Wtll was bored, the. well augur, at a depth of 1,200ft., seemed to drop into a. large cavity, and the vo'iume of gas was so strong that i: blew the aucrnr clear out of the well. He will lower two wires twisted together with enrbon point?, "0 arranged 0,1 the end, that sending an electric current of great intensity through one wire will prdouce a. spark of sufficient heat, as it passes from one point to the other in making the circuit, to fire the gas in the cavern. After arranging and secur- ing the wires in the well he will then string out two wires far up on old Mount Sterling at the head of Burning Creek. There he can get a good view ->f th: situation through his glass. On some high projecting promontory overlook- ing the foothills far below he will locate his electrical instruments and prepare for what be hopes will be a successful termination of his scientific experiments. These gentleman have carefully examined the territory, and with their charts ana f<vl confident that gas lies in a limestone cavern. running north-east and south-west, beginning somewhere in Southern Pennsylvania, thence through West Virginia and extending probably as far south as North-east Tennessee. It has already been traced through surface rents, through Logan County. West Virginia, a.ud Martin County, Kentucky. Of course, the natives living in the imme- diate vicinity of theae wells are not aware of the contents of these prepaiv tious, or it ie more than likely they would put a stop to them in short order. However, Mr. Durand does not v'ish to damage their life or propery if he can help it. So he is prepared to entice the people, whom he believes to be in the greatest danger, a-way from their homes with some French gold, and should there actually occur any damages to stock or property he will pay for the same liberally. While Mr. Metz does not believe that Mr. Durand will be successful owing to the thick- ness of the earth's surface over this gas belt, still he has consented to come over and assist his friend in every way possible. It was not their intention that the vyorld, especially the people of America, should know of this exper- ment until it was all over and they were safely out of the country. Even now, while they are strining their wires on old Mount Starling they are ignorant Oi the fact tkit the green- looking youth whom they employed as a guide had given away their secret.

DEAN VAITGIIAN. A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN TH. PATIENT'S CONDITION. We are glad to be able to state that. the Ver) Rev. the Dean of Llandaff nassed a fairly gooc night on Monday, and on Tuesday morning his condition showed a slight improvement. Thi.4 improvement was maintained throughout the day, and upon inquiry late on Tuesday night our reporter was informed that the revered dean was no worse. The illustrious patient cannot, however, be said to be entirdv out of danger, as. with the weight of years upon him and a physique weakened by a recent severe and prolonged illness, congestion of the lungs requires the most unremitting medical skill and the tenderest nursing to fight against. The dean, however, is, we need hardly say, receiving the very best attention, and there is every prospect, unless a relapse occurs, of his speedy recovery. That the kindly and genial patriaroh may soon be able once more to take his stand in the pulpit of the old cathedral he loves so well is the heartfelt wish of all—and they are legion —who know his gentle nature and his manifold good works.

CHILD DROWNED. SWEPT AWAY BY THE TIDE 1319 THE TOWY. A painful incident was witnessed at Car- marthen Quay on Tuesday evening between half-past ei^ht and nine. Whtn the tide in the Towy was about full in two little girls, who were playing on what is known as the Pothouse, fell in. A man, John Howells, who happened to be by, waded into the river, and brought out one alive. It then transpired that site was a daughter of Mr. Daniel Jones, a compositor at the "Journal" Oiiice. and that the other was her elder sister, named Masrgie, aged thirteen years. The latter was swept down by the tide. The s^ea-nship Alpha was coming up the river at the time and the master. Captain Luxon, imnp-?d into a boat and caught her by a grappling 'ion. Three medical men. including Dr. Parry, were quickly on the spot and attempted to restore animation, but failed to do so, and the child died. The incident created a good deal of sensation. --?--
