TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS
TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS FOREIGN. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE KAISER. A Central News telegram from Berlin on Wednesday says:—The "Kleine" journal this morning publishes an account oi an exciting adventure the Kaiser had during his late stay at Bremerhaven, which might have had the most serious consequences. The Kaiser, who had been on board the battleship Kurfurst Friedrich Wilhelm, left foi the shore on a steam launch. As the launch steamed round the man-of-war she narrowly escaped colliding with the fishing smack Seestcrn, which had been sailing past the warship on the other side, and, consequently, cut of sight of the launch. The skipper of the smack put his helm hard over, the launch reversed engines, and the collision, which bad appeared inevitable, was avoided by a hand's breadth.

I Are Women Hypocrites P
Are Women Hypocrites P ONE OF THE SEX DECLARES THE! ARE. And Suggests a Daring: Scheme, an Item of Which is a Ladies' Smoking Carriage. SfectALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS., The young lady who rides her bicycle in knickers, goes out for an afternoon with the door-key in her pocket, takes tea at an A B C shop, reads French novels, talks about the odds, and rides home in a hansoiu. is a very old-fashioned young person nowadays. Miss Edith M. Vance, of 64,' PatshuIl-road, N.W., sends the following revolutionary letter to the editor of the "Daily Mail": — "Since the London daily press are again bring- ing up the vexed question of women smokers, may I point out a sad fact often overlooked, and its remedy? It is that men make us hypo- crites. Quite 30 per cent. of women workers smoke, but they dare not do so openly. It would be 'fast.' or 'bad form.' Therefore—I regret to give away my sex's secrets—we indig- nantly deny that we are smokers, and light our cigarettes in the back-garden or in our bed- rooms! What is wanted is facility to indulge in a harmless and soothing habit when we j most need it—at our work, on top the bus, in the railway carriage. If women would come forward and form a league of women smokers, we might approach the railway companies on the question of providing smoking carriages fpr women, and restaurant keepers on permitting women to smoke after dinner—a right arbit- rarily and illegally denied thew." Miss Vance is not an irresponsible innovation. She is the secretary of the National Secular Society, and a power in the women's suffrage movement. She fights the good fight for the lady cyclists, and her name has not been un- known in the controversy as to whether ladies shall be permitted to confess the possession of two legs each. Miss Vance's admission is shocking. For newspaper purposes it is sup- posed that only Mrs. Ormiston Chant and a few actresses smoke. Mrs. Chant smoked because she was in a foreign land, and there was nothing for dinner. The actresses, like little boys, smoke because they ought. not to. Now we learn that quite 30 per cent of women are given to the habh. and, worse still, smoke because they like it. The statistics are pro- bably fanciful. It is difficult to count up the number of ladies who smoke in their back gardens and bedrooms. Aalso the "indignant denials" tend to confuse the accuracy of male calculations. But it is certainly true that ladies smoke more than they used to. Grand- daughters are more given to the habit than their grandmothers—except in country districts of the north, where old ladies sit at their doorsteps in the cool of a summer evening, puffing reflec- tively at weil-seasoned clay j.ipes, which are both black and short. The grand-daughters favour "Little Pet" cigarettes. The effect of Miss Vance's confession on the male reader will depend on his condition as to marriage. If he is single he will be incredulous. If married he will wonder what all the bother is about. Ladies are making progress. Some of them have learnt to smokes without removing the cigarette at every puff. Here and there, by the persistent investi- gator. a lady can be discovered who gets through It small cigarette without coughing more than once. But those are the experts, who do not smoke in bedrooms and back gar- dens. There is one proposal in Miss Vance's letter which will make every male heart rejoice. That is as to the smoking compartments. It is the complaint of the. hardened traveller that when- ever there is a lady passenger with a bunch of infants she is certain to get into the smoking carriage. If some smokers vlere for men and seme for women, he might stand an even chance of dividing the honour with the ladies. And the hardened traveller, being a man with no poetry in his soul, prefers his pipe and paper without musical accompaniment. Is the blessed day in sight when the sexes shall be entirely equal—when woman shall not only have the privelege of walking up the Strand in bloomers, with a cigarette between her lips, but also of occasionally paying the domestic bills?
REGISTRAR AND LOnD.
REGISTRAR AND LOnD. SEQUEL TO AN EXCITING SCENE IN COURT. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. In the Court of Appeal on Tuesday (before Lords Justices A. L. Smith. Chitty, and Collins) the case of Fox v. the "Evening News" (Limited) was opened. It was an appeal by Mr. John Edward Fox from a verdict and judgment entered for the defendants, the action having been for an alleged libel in a paragraph, headed "What the Peer said, published on the 23rd March. 1897.The defendants admitted publication, but denied that the words were defamatory, and pleaded that they constituted a fair and accu- rate report of th3 proceedings in a court of justice, an 1 were true in substance and fact. Mr. Fox ",as the registrar of the Croydon <1 cuiity-eourt, and one day while presiding in the court, according tQ the paragraph com- plained of. he noticed an elderly gentleman making for the well where the solicitors were sitting, and "roared out. 'What are you about, sir? The gentleman, said to be Lord Cahir. paid no attention. 'Turn that man out. roared the Registrar. 'Turn me out; that be damned for a tale.' retorted his lordship. 'Do your duty, constable,' said the Registrar; but, upon the constable approaching Lo-il Cahir. he said, 'Keep off; I want to find Mr.-Hood' (a solicitor). 'Don't use unnecessary violence, but out with kini, I cannot have my court disturbed by per- sons in this Amid a scene of great excitement, the constable succeeded in ejecting his lordship." The plaintiff complained that this report suggested that he had behaved in an indecent and unseemly manner. There was also an absolute denial to the suggestion that he "roared." On the Case being called on. Lord Justice A. L. Smith asked if the appeal in Fox v. the 'Star' Newspaper," which newspaper published substantially the same account as the Evening News," could be taken together.—Mr. Fox, who appeared in person, said he was pre- pared to do so.—Mr. B'ake Odgers, Q.C.. with whom was Mr. T. E. Haydon and Mr. Temple Franks, offered no objection.—The appeals were then called on together.—Mr. Fox had not finished opening the facts when the court rose.— It i? understood that the appeals will be con- tinued to-day (Wednesday).
AFFRAY ON THE TjEAMES.
AFFRAY ON THE TjEAMES. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. An extraordinary affair occurred on the Thames on Tuesday afternoon. A Dutch scoop. laden with grain, had brought her with the intention of getting a job. He and the captain came to words, and the waterman threatened to cut the vessel's moor- ing ropes and set her adrift. According to the testimony of another waterman who was row- ing near the scoop, the captain then procured a revolver, and, pointing it at the man. ordered him off. The waterman at once rowed ashore, and the captain then laid the weapon aside. In the course of a few minutes, however, the man returned to the ship—this time armed with a knife, with which he threatened the captain. Before, however, he could do any damage, the captain caught up a, crowbar and struck him across tho head, disabling him. The water- man was removed to the shore, and subse- quently taken lo the hospital, the injuries to his head being of a serious character.

At the other Mersey yards only ordinary contract? arc being carried out.

"THArr THIXC IN TROISERS. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. At Whi tec-Impel County-court on Tuesday a Mra. ileus w appeared on a judgment summons. Defendant (angrily): I'm a hard-working woman. I am. What has that thing in trousers cbngged me here for. losing a day's work? Judge Bacon: Because there is judgment against you. Defendant: Well, I can't pay nothing, so there. (Laughter.) Don't you wish you may get it? Judge Bacon: Are you a married woman? Defendant: What is that to do with it. Plaintiff: I think she is. Defendant: Xo. I am not- He's not my bus- band. Judge Bacon Do not expose yourself like that before a court full of people. Defendant: Think I care for them. lot of grinning monkeys. (Laughter.) Everybody knows me. Judge Baccn: How can she pay? Plaintiff: Eight shillings a month. Defendant: I can't. You're a falsehood. I knew your poor old mother Judge Bacon: What do you earn? Defendant: Precious little. I sell cat's meat. As I said before, I knew his poor old mother, and she always said- Judge Bacon: What do you make a week? Defendant: I knew his poor old mother- daughter)—and she always said—— Judge Bacon: Never mind about his mother. What do vou cam? Plaintiff: She takes about a pound a week. Defendant: Oh, if your poor old mother were alive! (Laughter.) You're a falsehood, a false swearer. I must get it out. (Laughter.) I knew his poor old mother, and she always said that boy of mine is a falsehood. (Laughter.) Judge Bacon: Two shillings a month. Defendant (leaving the box and shaking her first at the plaintiff): Much good may it do you! May your little children be ill for each 2s. you get out of me! What did you poor. old mother say?
CARDIFF I RBAN RATES.
CARDIFF I RBAN RATES. FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF THE ESTIMATES. SPECIALLY SET FOR 1HE EVENING EXPRESS. The finance committee of the Cardiff Corpo- ration held another long meeting on Wednes- day, when the estimates of expenditure for the 30th of September next were further con- sidered. Some discussioil took place with refe- rence to the cowt of scavenging, Mr. Wooscy asking for jE7,800 in wages alone. This was an increase upon the amount put down for the corresponding half-year, and some of the members stated that they understood that by adopting wood pavement in the main streets and tieing gran te on the macadamised roads the cost of scavenging would be reduced. — Mr. David said that was what they understood from the borough engineer on the previous day.— Mr. Woosev admitted that. where granite was uised the cost of scavenging would be Ies~, but he questioned whether there would be any saving where wood blocks had been laid. In Sl. Mary-street, for instance, he had usually employed two men. and now the work could only be done enic entiy by one man and three boys, at a cosh of £2 5- a week.—Mr. Courtis stated that the wood pavement would have to be flushed with a hose, as in London, but Mr. Woosev stated that the corporation had no appliances at present for flushing pnl"tOses.- The Chairman said it seemed to him that it was a fallacy to oxpect any saving by thereof wood in the streets. If anything, the cost of scavenging would be increased.—The commit I cc however, struck £300 off the amount put down for wages.—Anotl er discussion arose on the question of horse- Mr. Woosey asking for £500 for renewals.—Mr. David sa'd that meant thai eighteen frt .'a horses would be required every year—nearly 25 per cent, of the total number.— The Chairman thought ten horses a year wos sufficient, and the amount was reduccd. IN £1r0. -Several other reductions were made m the estimates of the health department, j,nd the committee lhen adjourned until Friday.

"THE GEISHA" IN PARIS.
"THE GEISHA" IN PARIS. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. On Tuesday the bijou theatre of the Athenee Comique, Paris, was completely filled on the oc- casion of the first night of "The Geisba." From the beginning of the piece it was evident that the light music, brilliant scenes, and piquant costumes were quite to the taste of the Parisians, who became demonstrative in their applause long before the first act was over The play had a tincture rather of the gay city than the odour of the far-off Nippon, but this fact only. added to the success of the pro- duction. Mile. Petit as the "Geisha" has given Paris a new type. The chrysanthemum diver- tissement in the third act was done by the Empire troupe, and fairly brought down the house.
WORSE THAN A DISGRACE.
WORSE THAN A DISGRACE. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. At Wliitechapel County-court (before Judge Bacon) a letter was handed in from a country solicitor. Judge Bacon: What is this man's signature? Can you read it? Plaintiff's Solicitor: Oh, yes; it is H. Bliss Hill. Judge Bacon: 80 these hieroglyphics stand for that? a The Solicitor: Yes. Judge Bacon: You know the name, or you would never he able to decipher it. There was a time when clerks were the only people who could write. But now for a solicitor to sign his name in that fashion is a disgrace. No, it is wúrsc than a disgrace, it is an affecta- tion. It must have taken him a good deal of trouble and time to hit upon such a signature as that, with dots and scrawls all over the place. I suppose he considers illegibility a I vign ot iutfclieoi,.

------.-------------Our Teacheps'…
Our Teacheps' Plebiscite THE PROFESSION Dl LV WASH THEIR HANDS OF IT. But the Public Seem Determined to Give Those Bicycles to Some- body Anyhow. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. Out coiiect-ion of a utographtl this morning contains the signature of practically every teacher in Cardiff. Some of the autographs are exceedingly- pretly; the lady teachers are deci- dedly to the front so far as caligraphy goes, and the dainty littlu capitals with their deli- cate tails "f Roman lettering, and the little fancy twirl and twist at the end, complete in many cases a perfect caiigraphic, picture. The signatures look quite out of place appended to dceumencs of stern appearance and uncompro- mising severity of diction. But, then, the dainty hands that penned the pleasant auto- graphs had nothing tc tlo with the writing above. That was evidently the work of some autocrat of the schoolroom, who didn't want any teacher to get those bikes. Anyhow, the documents all read to the same effect. Some read courteously—"Should you receive the names of any teachers of the above school for your 'Popular Teacher Competition' please do not for a moment think of inserting them." Other documents convey the same request, but, | after doing so, go on to call us everything. This ;s a pity: they treat the subject as a matter of life and death, instead of as the friendly presentation of a friendly bicycle. The latest document this morning comes post-haste from Court-road Schools, and treats us nicely, as we want to treat the teachers. That's a gentlemanly school—Court-road, and it's a pity all schools are not like it The staff proceeds to say that "We, the undersigned, shall esteem it a favour if you will kindly with-hold our names, should we receive any votes, from the competitive lists appearing each evening in the "Express." Now we are always doing favours. It's a painful habit of the "Express." And in this instance we shall do our friends the general favour of hoping they will all come out on top. There's one mistake the teachers make. These lists are not "competitive" in so far as the teachers are concerned. What have the teachers to do with them? Tehy are competitive only amongst thosi who would like their most popu- lar teacher and tea^lieress (we )io;ie that last word is admissablei to have a Whitsuu bicycie Now. that all the Cardiff teachers have washed their hands in public of' the plebiscite, they cannot by Ihe remotest reasoning be accused of bein<jr party to the designs of their friends. We should not be doing justice to the friends whom their qualities have made, if we refused to record the votes which they send in. If the gcoJ dualities to which we allude have been tost lor the moment during- their puerile atti- tude when first apprised of the plebiscite, it assist, The teachers need hnve no fear ov^r the plebiscite. First of ail, it had nothing to do with them except in one respect. They were not a"ked to take any notice of it-that was left to their friends amongst their pupils and pupils' parents. Such plebiscites are by uo means new. They have been taken of the most popular author, and the most popular statesman, and the most popular minister. Mr. Gladstone himself never raised the undignified protest which a few teachers have worked their fellows up to make. Such ridiculous self-exal- tation is foreign to most men, and it is a pity that the Cardiff teachers, as abcùy, lial-e been drawn by the few into making an exhibition of themselves. That exhibition is best forgotten; no doubt it will be ere the plebiscite closes. Let its give it this effect: every teacher has now disclaimed any desire to be included on the popular list, and those who are included, in spite of themselves, have, perhap3, more friends than they want, but none too many to be agreeable, in the result. And it is evident, from the li-t that follows that our readers are bent on taking the oppor- tunity of this presentation. Ihe votes on this. the fourth day. have increased to 303, of which the ladies' friends record 419, and gentlemen's 484. The list of popular teachers is growing also in number, and, ere long, when this brief introduction is over, we shall see many more names added. In spite of a certain uncer- tainty engendered by the fuss certain of the teachers have succeeded in creating, the votes have como in so rapidly that at this rate we shall be well into the thousands before the end of the week. The poll so far is iiiucii largei- than we expected when we became aware of the rising in the profession. The fear expressed by some of being \oted for seems to be quite unneces- sary.

"A SORT OF PARADISE. In the Divorce Division on Wednesday Thomas Alfred Rufus, a purchase miining agent, sued for a divorce from his wife, Constance Mary Purchase, on the ground of her adultery with Captain Arthur Alison Stuart Carnes. The suit was undefended. The parties were married in August. 1835. in Johannesburg, but in 1896, owing to the disturbed condition of the country, Mrs. Purchase came to ngland. and went to Southsea.

Under the Red Robe." INTERVIEW WITH MISS MURIEL WYLFORD. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. When a "Western Mail" reporter called upon Miss Muriel Wylford. whose clever impersona- tion of thc role of Renee de Cocheforet, at the "heatre Royal. Cardiff, this week has already won so much hearty admiration, he found that the lady had more than one pleasant association with Cardiff. Yes," said Miss Wylford. in answer to an inquiry. I have been to Cardiff four times now. My first -,j",it, to the town was when the Grand Theatre was opened. I then played with Mr. Errol's company in The Real Little Lord Fauntleroy. 1 was at this theatre, the Royal, about a year ago." "And you have fulfilled the mission of an actress by playin many parts since the first time, I suppose?" "Quite so." "And amongst them we may say "As 'Vul>' Harding,' in 'The Idler'; in 'The Ticket of Leave Man.' as 'May Edwards' with Mr. H'mry Neville, who is known here in Cardiff: as 'Enielia' in 'Othello,' with Mr. Her- mall Vezin; two years at the Strand, London, | in 'A New York which was brought over from America: with Mr. Beerbohm Tree as 'Lady Marchant' in A Bunch of Violets." and in a lot of other plays." "It is a rude question. I know: but how did yuu ?et a place upon the stage?' "I began as an student!" "Began as a student! No balloon business? No introduction?" "Yes. as a student at Miss Sarah Thorne's Dramatic School at Margate." "Mi«s Sarah Thorne—any relation to Cardiff's favourite comedian, Mr. George Thorne?" "His sifter. She has, I think. really the best dramatic school in existence." "And what docs she dc—what is her mode of training "tudenhO" "We went to her as pupils, and she gave us several months' training. Then, according to merit, she selected us to play at her theatre, the Royal, at Margate. Managers came down, and that was how we became known to them, and how we were encaged to play in the various companies." "Ever dabbled with the other side of the art, Miss Wyjford?" "Well, if I must confess—yes. I have pro-1 duced four pieces altogether. I went on a successful tour with 'The Passport' for a year." "But I meant authorship?'' 'Two little "But little pieces are gaining favour." "Yes. A large number of people want some- thing from. nine o'clock onwards, and the houses must he open before that for the other people. So the managers have to provide for this. and that gives the writers of short pieces a chance." "We have heard a great deal lately ahaut- Church and stage; suppose we change the topic. What do you think of stage and jour- nalism as a theme?" "There is a great deal said about Church and stage, I know-— "But stage and press have had the pastors down upon them in turns here!" "I am sorry to hear that. As a rule, we look upon journalism as a great friend and help to the stage. There has been one excep- tion, which goes to prove the rule, lately; but I don't think it has done us much harm." CHAT WITH "GIL-DE-BERAULT. An actor in his lodgings is usually a person that excites the curiosity of people of the "out- side" world, who often wonder what the domes- tic life of the man that they see upon the stage really is. To the crowd he appears as a per- son of buckram and tinsel, masquerading be- fore them as somebody else: to the few he is usually a genial, kindly-hearted fellow, and a'1 interesting acquaintance. It was something in this strain that a "Western Mail" representa- tive cogitated when he called at the home where Mr. Henry Renouf is staying this week, The gentleman impersonating "Gil de Berault" was dealing with his morning correespondence, for whilst sufficient unto the day is the engage- ment that he is now fulfilling, Mr. Renouf haa interesting schemes in view for the future. The sitting-room was as cosy 0." one could wish. the occupant having surrounded himself with photo- graphs—large and small—f himself, his wife, and his -on. some taken in England, others in America and Australia whilst on tour. "Look here," said Mr. Renouf, v/hen the press- man told his mission, "I should like you to know that I am acting under my own name. I was born in Jersey, and wa" christened hv Mrs. Lan^try's father, who officiated when my father and mother were married. I believe that I am the first member of the family that has gone out of the island to live." "And yon began stage-life with "Sir Henry Irving, I wa« with him for about eighteen months, six of which were speent on tour with him in America. I was one of the characters that had to walk on and think." "What do you think of Sir Henry? He looks after the details pretty well. I should think?" "I have no hesitation in calling him the gieatest stage-manager in the world—to say nothing about hint as an actor. His company is a splendid cho >1. See how many have gone from hint and taken good parts successfully! It was uijder Jiiir lhat I learnt how to come on :n the 'shape' parts; how t.) stand up without wanting to put your hands in your pockets. Another thin?- about him is that at the rehearsals he Is ery quiet; he says scath- ing thing! occasionally, but he is always very calm. no bluster, no noise. And nothing escapes him. As you say he goes into details most thoroughly." "And after the Lyceum Company, what were you with? "Joined Mr Benson's company, and in that took >ny first character parts. Since then. I have been in I don't know how many plays— let me see. over twenty, and most of them amongst the best produced. I was with Sir Augustus Harris for six years. He was another u.aster in the art of stage managing. He could not act—it was funny sometimes to see him try —but he could tell us what he wanted us to do. I remember a comical episode with him once. One of the men at a rehearsal did something wrong. What ever did you do that for." shouted Mr. Harris. "It is what you told ine to do on Tuesday!" renlied the man. "Tuesday!" Mr. Harris yelled (it was before he received his title), "Tuesday! Why this is Thursday! Whit do you think we rehearse for, unless it is to find things out? You could ne\er argue with him; he always cornered you somehow." "How did you get on in Australia? I think you toured there!" "Six months there. I hardly know what to say about the people. If they take to you they are very enthusiastic, but they will have value for their money. I liked the people of Bris- bane best. There are a lot of Irish there, and they are very hearty. I met one Cardiff man there. Only a few months before I went out I was at Cardiff, and me' a Mr. Noble. I day or two after reaching Sydney I was walking down one of the streets, and almost walked into Noble's arms." "How many times have you played in Cardiff?" "The first time was eleven years ago, and this is 11Iy eithth visit." "You have come with a good thing this time?" "A splendid play. isn't it. Of course, it takes a lot out of you. but I like the whole play very much." "Not a one man piece?" "No. 'Gil de Berault' is on the stage prac- tically the whole time. and takes up a very large share of the business, but he has some beautiful lines. I remember the first time I played it. It, was rather short notice, and I had studied so hard that when I was on I could see the leaves of the book turning over in front of me. But it is a part that must be supported well, and we have a very good lo tof with. For me, for instance, as 'Oil de Beralt,' it would not do to find one or two of the others making mistakes, and on this company more than ordi- nary care has been taken over with the minor parts, atid I think we work together very well." "How did you study the part?"' I. "I only saw Mr. Charles Warner in two acts. Six men have taken the part I am playing, and we are all different, somehow or other. Iread other books on the same subject, and saw some old prints of scenes and characters in Richelieu's time." "Why do yon use real swords in the duel scrr.es?" "We are bound to have the best, and those we use are pretty sharp. Show swords would not do; we are bound to do the business with iome strength, and they would break. We d^n't want accidents." "Whith do you think is best in the case of adaptations—to learn the play or read the book first?" "I tcok the play first, and should think that would be the best course. The adopt or-the dramatiser—has to make a few alterations, and we want to present the play as a whole in th3 same spirit. If you read the book first, you are apt to gain an impression of the character that you are taking that differs from the adoptors, and that would be rather incon- venient."

Wd, summoned for selling adulterated butter. Mr. Kens-hole (Messrs. Linton and Kenshole). for the defendant, objected that the summons was invalid in not setting forth that the .sale was to the prejudice of the purenaser. —The Stipendiary concurred, and dismissed the summons.—The manager of the same shop Lewis Lewis, was then summoned for exposing for sale margarine, the label of which was rot clearly visible to the purchaser. Inspector Burke purchased at the shop for lid. a ]vun;l of what turned out on analysis to le mar- garine. The label "Margar'ne" was afterwards produced by the manager from behind the counter.—For the defence it was urged that the omission was accidental, and due to the omission of the shop boy.—The Stipendiary while^pccept- irg th's explanation, held that the statute left him no alternative but to inflici a penalty, and he imposed a nne of 10s. and costs. A CRUEL CASE. r: fore Alderman Trounce and Mr. R. Hughes at Cardiff Police-court on Wednesday, John Newman, skipper of a fishing lugger, was sum- moned by Mr. Pritchard, warrant officer, for neglecting to ma'ntain his four children, now chargeable to the Cardiff Umon. Defendant waj arrested at Preston on the charge. It was stated that he brougin the children from Scot- ltv.d in November 1a.1, ai;d arranged to foiward contribution* for their support.

Lewis) Thomas Meyers and lllS wife, .fancy bakers. of Bridge-street, who were charged with selling bread otherwise" than by weight. The husband was summoned for causing to be sold, and the wife for selling. Mr. R. A. Wheat-ley appeared to prosecute, on behalf of .the corpo- ration. The bread in question was purchased at the shop by one of th? sub-inspectors of weights and measures. The defence was that the "bread was fancy bread, which is specifically exempted bv statute. For the defence, it was sworn that sugar and eggs had been used in the bread, and Mr. Thomas Stephens, confectioner, was cplied as an independent witness, to speak as to the sample. After an examination 0: the bread produced, Mr. Siephens expressed the opinion that as regarded colour and shape the rolls in question were an attempt at fancy bread, but if the constituents named had been used isoaringlv it was evident, if at alii; the bread must be admitted to be the proper article.— Under these circumstances, the summons was dismissed. PENARTH. ALLEGED SHEBEEN. Before Major Thornley and Mr. E. Handcock at Penarth Police-court on Wednesday Fanny Thomas, 69. Maughan-street.

Imd been t01d that many years r.so a road crossed at t}1i" very spot.—Inspector M'tls. of the Great Western Railway Compmy. gave evidence as to the usual notices being exhibited at the nearest railway crossing. Replying to Mr. Nicholas, he said he had i:nown the spot where the men were seen trespassing for many years. He was not rrepared to say that there was not a public right of way over th.? railway at this spot. and, :\1 answer to AMerman Malhias, he saic1 that he believed this rijht of way was closed wren additional sidings were made in the neighbourhood. Alderman Richard Lewis wanted to know if the company had power to close up this right of way. and if they could no. make some provision for pedestrians to cross the- railway in this particular part of the neighbourhood.—Mr. Rowe said he would con- sult his principals on the matter if the bench granted an adjournment.—This Mr. Nicholas objected to,'and said he was prepared that day to prove that there was a public right of way. and he would call witnesses to yrove that the right of way had existed for over 50 years. He at the .came time contended that the police- court was not the ..roper place to inye;t;ga.te the question of right of way—After some further consultation, the Magistrates granted an adjournment of the case for a week so that Mr Rowe should have an opportunity of con- sulting his principals up >n the question of the r'Lht of way, the expenses of the day being allowed the defendants.

Davies, fireman at the colliery, stated that he fOU'1d a b >x of matches in the defendant's coat pocket, whi^h was hai-ging up on a cog in his stall. He searched the coat in consequence of information given him. He found no pipe in the coat. The de- fendant told him that he did n«t know the tr: tches were then-. The defendant now stated that the matches were in his coat by accident. That morning happened to be very cold and lough, and as he had a long way to walk to the colliery he put on a coat belonging to his brother-in-law over his own. He d'p 1;d know there were matches in the coat.—The Bench reprimanded 1 fce defendant, and fined him 20s. and costs. MOUNTAIN ASH. BREAKING A FATHER fi NOSE.

The monthly meeting of the Ncwjxir: Harbour Coir mission was held at the offices. Dock-street, oil Wednesday, the ch-nirmaii Mr. E. J. Ph Hips, J.P.) presiding. The Harbour-master reported j thp grtTUnding of the steamer Merthyr when roui.'ding Powder-house Point on March 2. She was got off the next day. A substantial increase in the harbour dues for February was reported. as compared with February. 1897. Alderman Moses, in bringing up the report of the harbour works committee, said it was proposed to carry out improvements at the pontoon lauding stages to keep the bottom sides free from mud. It was estimated that the work would cost about £ 400.—In Qccoirlance with notice. Mr. R, Wilkinson moved. "That an improvement in the condition of the River Usk demands the iiume- d ate attention of the Newport Harbour Board." In view of the stranding of so many steamers in the river he was. he sa'd. anxious that the in the river he was. he sa'd. anxious that the boa 'd should s?& the absolute necessity of putting the river into a satisfactory condition. and maintaining it in the same condition. Tiie river was now in a disgraceful state. There were two instances that lie wished specially to call attention to. FillS" during the last twenty vc«rs. thousands of tons of so'l from the banks ha3 been washed into the river near the Powell Duffryn wharves. It would be said, perhaps. that the board had no power over those wharves, but lie thought they ought to take the same steps lo stop an offence there as to stop a coast- lug captain throwing ballast into the river. » The second point was much more serious, )-it.. the bank of sand and mud which had recently come in') ex-stence at Powder-house Point. which was an obstruction to thp navigation of the river. Ti¡. sooner it was cleared away the better it would be for Newport. He asked whv the dredger was sent away to improve the fair way of a completing port. viz.. Port Talbot, when therj was work fo, it to do in the Interests of Newport. It would be a serious thing for New- port if the underwriters at Lloyd's were io say that they reoui-fd an increased premium on vessels going to Newport.—No onf- seconded the motion, but Mr. T. E. Watson, the chairman of the dredger committee, adndted that they ê111 were anxious for an implement of the river. He was triad to find so much zeal in Mr Wi: ;ir ~o;i. but by and bye. perhaps, it would he tempered w th a little more knowledge. The •statement that a bank had formed at Powder- ohuse Point arose from niere idle gossip. Sect oils of ihe river were taken regularly, anrl the last section taken shoved thai 110 such bank existed in the sc-r-se of an obstruction to the fai'way. But what had taken pluce \vas a pro- trusion of the we=iern shore car.scd by the shifting of the channel 'n the (entre of the river. Thera formerly were two channels, but th, gra,el patch having reuiovoed. one channel had now beQn formed, and the shifting of the patch had had the effect of br'iiging for- ward the w:<$tera shore. What was necessary now was that pilots in charge of SIÜp: should take a wide sweep round the poinL-Alderman Mos's said soon after the grounding of the Merthyr another steamer took the ground, but. unfortunately, for Mr. Wilkinson's argument. that took place on the other side of the river.— The .Harbour Master (Captain Pugsley) said the Eastbourne, referred to by ernian Moses, went ashore owiug to a failure of the steering gear.—The matter then dropped.
ROOKSKLLING HUMOURS.
ROOKSKLLING HUMOURS. SPtClALLY SET FOit THE EVENING EXPRESS Mr. J. Shaylor. a member of the firm rt Simpkin. Marshall, and Co.. contributes to the "Publishers' Circular" an interesting article c bookselling and some of its humours. Most cf these, Mr. Shaylor thinks, are i.h result of care- Ies?nes3. accident. or ignorance. A scholar a gentleman entering a oookseller's shop in- quired for a translation of Omar Khayyam. "No. said the bookseller promptly, "there is no such book. Homer wrote the Taad' and the 'Odyssey —both of which I lave in stock—br.t he did not write the book yon Rre inquiring for." The bookseller evidently had not heaid of the now popular Persian poet. An inquiry was once irtade a certain assis- tant fora certain book bound in ru tia, when answer was given that he did not think it could be done in Russia, but he thougtit he could net it done in Rome. During the snmmer of I3e5 it will be remembered that »'isps were iciv plentiful. A bookseller, having to obtain on three senarate occasions a copy of Aristophanes' "Wasps." ventured the opinion that he believed the copies were required for some experts who were inquiring into the eau«e of the plague! Among Mr. Shaylor'^ other anecdotes are the following: A lady recently asked a London bookseller i: no had ;!I st x-k the sequel to "A ralien Angel, by one of them: she believed tiie'-e was such a book, but did not know the exact title: had he. she suggested. "The Eloping Angels." that she could see. as perhaps that might be the book she was looking for? "No," replied the bookseller, he had not: ard unwittingly, and without sufficient reflection, he ventured the remark that he had in stock "The Heavenly Twins," perhaps that would be the sequel. An inquiry was once made for the price of Cambridge Examination Papers, and if it would be cheaper by taking a quire. "Add four thick Ladies, and take four thin ones off," so ran a written order to a, bookseller. This of course, only referred to the "Lady" news- paper. which issues a thick ordinary weekly edition, and a thin edition for posting abroa.

Allen. than whom there is no greater authority upon the Cardiff water- works undertaking, lectures to-night (Wednes- day) at Albany-road Board Schools, on "Cardiff and Its Waler Supply."

[No title]
Some more or less animated discussion has arisen (says "Kettledrum") over the nomination of King Hampton being declared void. He has been tacked, both singly and in "playful doubles," by one here and there: and those same are anxious to be informed of their posi- tion. Had King Hampton run for the Lin- colnshire and won the race, and had afterwards the facts-now known been disclosed, disqualifica- tion must have ensued, and of course bets would have followed the stakes. On this line of rea- soning the argument is all against backers. They have supported a horse not qualified to run, and must seemingly pay the penalty. With their loss, though, the question scarcely ends. Surely Mr. Robert Peck must have known that his agreement with Mr. Rucker terminated on the 31st of December. 1697. And if he knew that, why did he on January 4. 1898. continue to deal as nominator with Mr. Rucker's horses? Nor can Mr. Rucker escape being asked a question. He must. one would think, have seen his horses entered. He must. on; would suppose, have been aware that he had not entered them himself.. He must. also, one assumes, have remembered that nobody else at the time was positioned to nominate. Then why d d he not protest the moment he saw his "Calendar." or his sporting paper, against the proceeding? Why did he allow King Hampton to figure as an acceptor? One trusts that the stewards of the Jockey Club will institute an exhaustive in- ( cilairy int,) the muddle, and duly apcortion the blame.

A SCHOOL FOR ACTORS. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. Mr. J. T. Grein on Tuesday night, at the Grosvenor Crescent Club, advocated his theory for the establishment of an academy for dra- matie art in this country. The scheme, he said, j must be started by a syndicate, a joint-stock company, the State, or by a philanthropic Maecenas, eucli as Mr. Tate. Could each a Mawnas be found who was willing to put down ihe sum of £ 50,000? Children should be ad- luilted at thirteen years of age. and there wc-nld be five classes, the different scope of which Mr. Grein then proceeded to explain — Mr. Herman Vegin. who spoke in favour of the scheme, said that all children should be taught how to enter a room, and that deprtment and elocution should certainly not be neglected. — Several others took up the discussion, which was long and friendly, though a;ademic in character.
