Heath & SONS, CARDIFF, PONTYPRIDD, & LONDON, PIANOFORTE AND ORGAN MERCHANTS. [From South. Wales Daily News, 9th Jan., 1894. 'Vmidict of NttR Hundred."—Under this title Messrs R. J. Heath aud Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, or^an builders, and music ware- housemen have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the cniality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The great majority of the letters in tnis list relate to pianos, and while many of them have reference to most costly n instrument, containing all the latest improvements supplied to the well-to-do, the greater number relate 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 favourable sign. For though in the Principality music nas for generations been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most part, been choral music that, has occupied attention. Instrumental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will-go'steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Princi- pality while iob a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most ""Hbwottrably of Messrs Heath's business methods as well Is of their instruments. 2e K. J. HEATH AND SONS INVJl'K INSPECTION. Ywi Illustta.tl List and Verdict Post Free. 9431.

The Man About Town. The political deluge is past; the rush of meetings and speeches has subsided, and other topics are beginning to show them- selves. Political delegates no longer inun- date the Welsh Metropolis, ftnd the Ark of the National l,iberal Federation has been removed to Parliament-street. The sub- sidence has left behind for me a little pile of letters from correspondents who are anxious to gain the public ear through a column which has known them not for one whole week The College authorities may be short of adequate buildings and the necessary funds wherewith to erect a magnificent structure worthy of the Centre of Learning in the Principality for that is what we must make Cardiff.bnt they can- not be charged with any want of foresight in making the best of their opportunities. They have managed to pilot two members of the Government over the Institution during the visit of the Federation, and if assistance is not received from the Imperial Government to aid a national movement working for the good of the nation, I do not think it will be the fault of the Premier-who adroitly parried Lord Aberdarc's direct innuendo-or of Mr James Bryce, the President of theBoard of Trade. The Principal, Mr Viriamu Jones, has set his heart on a fine building for the most important of the three constituent colleges of the University of Wale-an excellent augury for success. Though the town has m(1; rcaiaikable progress and its development has been phenomenal, we are still in the pioneer stages in secondary and higher education, a fact which should not be overlooked in taking a survey of Cardiff. The people and its public men are not absolutely and entirely absorbed in the race for wealth, as witness its system of elementary education, which is as efficient as any in the United Kingdom. When the new Free Library is opened Cardiff will be an excellent model for any or the larger and older towns to imitate in the provision of literature for its citizens. A new Museum is only a matter of two or three years. To complete the town's educational institutions is needed a worthy University College Building, and then Cardiff will bo the Athens of Wales," fit home for the Offices of the University of Wales, the National Museum, and those National Centres hinted at by Mr T. E. Ellis at the banquet on Thursday night. Sweet arc the uses of" auvertlscment, when secured The enemies of Sunday- closing have worked vigorously to attract the notice of the Federationists, and of Mr W. S. Caine, Sir Wilfrid Lnwson, and the Premier in particular, during the past week but, alas for them, to no purpose. They have dressed up their old stories, rigged them out in new garb, and paraded them before the gaze of the newspaper reader in strange and attractive combinations, yet the public have seen in them nothing but 44 a long memorandum of old stories." These agitators against the Act are deter- mined to ignore two very important points in the controversy—first, that a Commission has inquired into its working and secondly, that it reported not in favour of the repeal of the Act, but of its continuance and improvement. These are the nasty pricks against which the agitators who arc not entirely disinterested are kicking. A correspondent sends me tno fol!o\wng admirable summary of the case, which is the result of experience gained from frequent contact with the law-breakers Having myself had during the past ten or twelve years a great deal to do with the people who are brought up for evading or attempting to evade the law in this respect, I venture to say that there is now not one-fourth the drinking at Cardiff compared with what there would be if the Sunday-closing Act were repealed. It is true that the number of convictions has increased, but so has the ^population of the district immensely in- creased. Also three-fourth of the cases that are now brought before the Bench would not have been taken any notice of before this Act came into operation. With regard to shebeening, if the small wholesale dealer could be reached and prevented from selling his -gallon cask between six o'clock on Saturday evening and Monday morning, the illicit drinking would considerably decrease. The wholesale dealer must sell his goods, and the shebeener is often only his tool- $i t yea, be often supplies the first cask to help I the shebeener to start the day with. When I the Sunday-closing Act is amended and I made to reach the wholesale dealer and the drinking clubs, so that both are open to police inspection, and have to procure their licences in the same manner as the publicans have to get them, then, and not until then, shall the benefits of Sunday-closing be seen and appreciated." ♦ 'Tis strange how many psioous are eager to caper in the morris-dance of verse." A new and remarkable specimen of the attempt to climb Parnassus has reached me. The would-be poet is not even fluttering round the lower slopes, but floundering in a bog of confused ideas Nevertheless, he has struggled into print and sends to me a sheet of short lines carefully divided off into sets of eight, and inscribed "To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P." Of course, he (the writer) informs me that he sends them apropos of the meetings last week, but I have no doubt that he is a candidate for the Poet Laureateship. His "verse" is after the pattern of the "Odes "and "Lines" one meets with written to celebrate great events. Thus :— Great and illustrious statesman, Always zealous for the right, Sword of truth and liberty, Thou hast swung with greatest miriht, For half a century thou has Helped Britannia's power maintain, Through all her strife none can say, Gladstone's influence was vain. In the peacefulness of such a rural retreat as Pontnewynydd, this writer who is madly courting the Muses contrives to work him- self into a fine poetical frenzy Conq'rinar armies may enrage, Bellicose tactics pursue Eager for warlike renown, Horrid massacres ensue. What most in man we admire, Frail of character sublime, No oarnagtj neither bloodshed, Grandeur of genius enshrine. I rescue these two literary curiosities as proofs of this scribbler's declaration with Dryden to "Versify in spite, and do my best, To make as much waste paper as the rest." But has he no friend to persuade him from wasting postage stamps in sending his ravings broadcast on an already troubled world ? Occasionally I receive some queer com- munications. The following, though some- what odd, is so quaintly cheerful and optimistic that I give it without further comment than the observation that it appears to be the letter of an old sea dog who has found port in the Cardiff Work- house MY LIBERTY DAY our OF CAUDIFIT WOILKHOUSE, —Th<> weather is against me. Notwithstanding this, I feel very proud as I walk along, upright as a yard of pump water, saluted first by cabby, Cab, sir shoeblnek, Shine, sir all down Bute-road. Can I do anything for you, sir ? Clothing good and cheap and, when I thought I had run the gauntlet, the photo man says, "Your likeness taken, sir." The clothier, no doubt, thought me a sailor just payed off from a long voyage the cabby never dreamt I was a pauper, and the shoeblack was in the same mist. Now, I like the photo man the 'best, for ho held the same opinion as myself that I would make a nice picture. Well, now, Mr "Man About Town," you are very clever (!) at your trad* or profession. So am I—at least, people say so. Tho writing part belongs to your profession. Wandering all over the globe has been mine, and when I tell you that I have been forty yea is in charge oi property and lives, and have taken some thousands of passengers to all parts of the globe, you will excuse my imperfections in letter- writing. Put my letter through your literary sieve, and if yon think it will do grand service Jet them have it. You must understand that this snit of clothes is not the parish council cut, it is the cut of our old and tried friends the old guardians. I can take upon myself to say that all the intelligent and weli-deserving poor in the Cardiff Workhouse are quite satisfied with the result of the election of guardians. W« hope the new guardians have not brought in their trains a lot of office-spelters, as I can candidly assure you and the public that we have a master kitit matron worth a whole hoard of guardians. Indeed, the whole of the officials are worthy of the ratepayers' confidence. TEric MAN ON THE LOOK OUT. An CSAO uZ lha'Rosebery meeting. Mr J. Munn writes on the subject of the English songs which the Welshmen refused to sing at the great meeting on Friday night 44 So many enquiries have been addressed to me on this subject that I am tempted to explain the causes of the failure. I was at the outer gates performing my duties as steward when the meeting commenced, j and did not Fleo the songs till nemlly seven o'clock. But being assured that they had been distributed through- out the Hall, I unwisely agreed to act as conductor. I say unwisely—because, firstly, I had no opportunity of verifying the statement; and, secondly, because the words were new and strange, and those few who had copies could not see them distinctly. Fortunately, Welsh Liberalism does not de- pend for its vitality on our ability to sing unfamiliar English parodies without copies.' No doubt this is the explanation in part, but the great majority of the audience near the platform were Welshmen, and they pre- ferred their native dirges and hymns (though entirely inappropriate) to the English politi- cal songs. I am sure the Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen present could have no objection, and I know that many were delighted to hear such excellent singing from a mixed audience. We have it on record that Lord Rosebery enjoyed it, too. There was no bad feeling or resentment—it was taken in good part and thoroughly enjoyed. I

An Irish Wake. DISGRACEFUL SCENE. I Ti.3 Dublin Expects pub ishcs an accouui of a scandalous scene at a wake recently in Galway. An old rag g-atherer dIed, and at her wake a number of men danced jigs to the music of a tin whistle.

ROBBING A PHEASANT FARM. I Ar. asl of a Birmingham Dealer. The detective department of the Birmingham police force received intimation on Friday morn- ing of an extensive and daring robbery which bad taken place at the farm of Mr Henry Clarke, who is the proprietor of a large pheasant-breeding establishment at Studley. The telegraphic message to the Birmingham police conveyed the information that during the night of Thursday or the early morning uf Friday Mr Clarke's estab- lishment had been visited by thieves, who had carried off between 200 and 300 pheasants. On receiving the message Superintendent Helden instructed Detective Heffernan to proceed to the markets, and to caution all dealers against pur- chasing an unexpected arrival of game in the form of pheasants. The telegram stated that the birds were pinioned, and a subsequent message decribd the misRing birds as having been de- prived of a material portion of the left wing for the purpose of I" Preventing Them from Flying. lu furtbet warn the traders, Mr Helden ctrcu- !ated a number of bills, giving particulars of the stolen pheasants. During Saturday morning Police-constible Linney, one of the police officers on duty in the markets, came into possession of some information which he at once conveyed to the detective office, aud upon this Detectives Heffernan and Cartwright were set to work. The result of the investigations of these officel's was ..that they paid a visit to the residence of Mr Frederick Pope, jun., Sandford-road, Moseley, where two large hampers were found in the cellar, and these upon being examined were found to contain 123 freshly-killed pheasants. The birds were seized, and Mr Pope was subsequently requested to accompany tneoffioers to thedetective office. Supt. Helden pointed out the circumstance under which the police had acted, and M.r Pope explained that he could not imagine why he had been placed under suspicion. He further stated that the birds which had been seized he had intended to bury. He was informed that he would be detained, and later in the day Inspector Cull, of Alcester, arrived, and in the evening Teok Mr Pope in Custody, 11 11' ana removeu Olin to A'cest&r pending magisterial proceedings. It app^r., that at Mr Clarke's establishment at the time of the robbery there were considerably over two thousand pheasants on the farm, and the 1038 of the three hundred was chiefly apparent because the birds stolen were taken from an eneiosare containing about nine huuoreo, but on a close inspection of the farm, ttill ftrge quantity of feathers lying about led to the suspicion that a huge slaughter had laleen place during the night. A villager living a short distance from the farm has informed the police that about midnight she heard an unusual noise, as of vehicles being driven hurriedly along the road near her house, and an investigation of a field near at hand showed that a horse and vehicle had been temporarily in waiting near tho spot from which the pheasants were taken. spot from which the pheasants were taken.

THE USE OF SPftAGS IN COLUERItS. JUDGMENT AT r.v I E- COURT. To-day at the Merthyr PoIicc-court Mr North (stipendiary) gave his judgment in the remitted case of Gibbon v. Phillips, a Treharris collier, employed ab the Ocean Company's Pits, Tre. bams. Mr Sydney Simons was present on behalf of the complainant. Mr North, in the course of his remarks, held that he had to-day to say did the defendant (having had the discretion given to him by the Court of Appeal as to whether all overhanging coal required to be propped) exercise that discretion properly ? He thought he did, and the summons, therefore, was dismissed. He hoped colli?rs would not rashly think that they might now liavo any coal un- proppsd with impunity. They must remember that they had discretion, also that when directed hy an oiHoul to sprag they must at onco do it, a both official and collier had a discretion Ic wa also to be borne in mind that each case must be I dec;ded Ly i's own circumstances.

Mil ROBERT BIHD. I Mr Ro'oert Bird, the president of tho Uardift Liberal Association, who was so excellently in evidence during last week, is one of the most notable figures in the town (says the Morning Leader). No itian has done lucre to give its Nonconformity the evangelical fervour that it undeniably possesses. As the ccnnexional I tieasurer of tho Free Methodist Church, be may be to have something Iiki": a national reputa- tion in connection with that body but his work and sympathy are not restricted to one denomi- nation the whole Nonconformist life of the town has a wider purpose and a more tolerant method and is penetrated by a more brotherly spirit because of Mr Bird's example and work, l'n his appearance Mr Bird at once impresses you with an idea of strength. He is of medium height, is broad-shouldered, and is pleasant of visage—the physical embodiment, 111 fact, of success and honesty. He moves slowly, but this slovm; an ev:d«?t!c» not of lethargy, but of caution. -v_

SOMETHING LiKE A DOG FIGHT. I:: counUlJi \1'0 dogs are nA. for uranght purposes it requires a certain amount of skill on the pflrt of the drivers to get two teams past one another. In Labrador, whenever two teams meet, thoy try to stop and fight. The dogs which are used for traction are extremely ferocious by n.V.ure, and their tempers are in no wise improved by the state of semi-starvation in which they live. Daring the summer time they get nothing from their masters, and have to pick iii) t living for themselves as best they can. This is no easy task, and any leather straps or old boots which may be found yillr, about are eagerly swallowed. In the winter they are supplied with salt fish for breakfast and likewise for supper, and this unpleasant diet does not tend to reduce the combativespirib within them. And, therefore, if two sledges chance to meet, in nine cases out of 10 bhedogs fall upon one another with the most com- plete disregard for the cries of their masters or the cuts of the cruel, long-lashed whips. The result of FORTY NOGS ALL FALLING ON ONE ANOTHICR at the same time may be imagined. Over go the j sledges, out tumble the drivers, and anything else | they may bnve behind them. As a rule, a few minutes' struggling will find all the dogs so entangled that they cannot move. It should be burne in mind that evory dog has his own particu- Iar trace, to orte end of which he is attached, and to the other the sleigh. These trace", of course, vary in length according to the wearer's position in the team, and the leader is often fifty feet away froin tlit) The consequence is that in a short time dogs and sleighs get wound up in an intricate tangle, and it takes the drivers a long j time to unravel each dog, and prevent him renew- ing the onslaught the moment he is free. To prevent the dogs fighting in the night the owners have devised a very olever kennel which stops Ii any little disturbance of that kind. All dogs stand on their hind legs to fight, so that they have their fore feet for wrestling purposes. The kennels are made so low that this little manoeuvre II is impossible, and fighting is thereforo out of the question. —

Ho lives in the Temple, and is a lawyer. In a letter describing his fate he explains that he loved a fair damsel, woned her in the interval between the classes she attended and the examination she passed with honours in London, and won her by letter while she was taking a medical degree in Edinburgh. Thill took four cyears. No soouer had she obtained the requisite diploma than a capital chance for obtain- ingapracticeturnedupin Yorkshire. Sheembraced it. The patient gentleman asked her to name the happy day, and she consented. She Was rather busy, but would spare time between her visits to patients to drive to the church and get married if the bridegroom would kindly run down from London to Yorkshire for the ceremony. He did so a week ago in a dreadful snowstorm. Bub (so writes the gentleman), 41 entirely discarding the time-honoured delights of the old-fashioned honeymoon, she at once returned to her medical practice, and sent me back to follow my prosaic business of a lawyer alone in London.' Marriage in this case will not have the opportunity of being a failure through too close acquaintanceship. But the honymoon is dreadfully dull."

The lady turned around and Anthony withdrew his hand, whereupon the detective arrested both men nnd formally charged them with the offence. Anthony said that they were innocent, but Jones made no reply.
