H. M. STANLEY
AND THE WELSH
He Condemns the Welsh for Their Non-cosmopolitanism.
HE KNOWS OF NO WELSH COLONIES
Neither Did He Know of A or People
Outside ofWales That Could Speak
M'vl'hllig Address ltcceivcd with
Cheer and Hisses.
The following Is a synopsis of an ad
dress delivered liy Henry M. Stanley at
Swunsea recently. The outcome of the
uJdretiS Is thut .Mr. Stanley l.s belnir
very roughly handled by the vernacular
press of Wales:
"Mr. Stanley llrst cave details of the
progress made in commerce liy the
Americans and Germans. He thought
Wules was the worst part of the United
Kingdom to come to talk about cosmo
politanism, because as lie understood
from the newspapers (especially In the
vernacular newspapers of V. ales) the
Welsh people were asking for Welsh
preachers, Welsh bishops. Welsh schol
arships and politicians pandered to the
Kiilleries. (Hear, hear). Now. from a
Welsh standpoint, this mlKht be very
grand Welsh patriotism; but as one who
had traveled considerably In his time
lie had been wondering ns to whether
the knowledae of Welsh would lead one
to. (Laughter). He knew of no Welsh
colonics, nor of any people outside of
Wales that could speaK welsh. He had
Been hills of Welsh coal In various
iTt!
buye
iris of the world, but the sellers and
yers of It were perfectly Ignorant of
Welsh. (Laughter). He had seen
Stacks of tinplate boxes and heaps
of Iron and steel rails made In Wales,
but thse who dealt ill them were abso
lutely Ignorant of Welsh. He had seen
a goodly portion of the Hrltlsh empire,
but he had never been able to determine
which part of it had been specially
built by Welshmen. (Laughter). One
discovery he had made was thut
wherever aborigines In any part
of the world were found cling
ing to their traditions they were
always sunk In obscurity and unimport
ance. (Hear, hear, and dissent). Now
the Germans had a fairly big country of
their own; but they were of opinion
that their country was too restricted for
their growing numbers. They knew
that Oermnny was their home and their
workshop, but the world was their mar
' ket, and as they have to deal with so
very many nutlons they must learn the I
languages of 'nelr customers. German
children had to devote four hours a
week to learning Kugllsh, while in
Wales there were Intelligent pen. .jwho
maintained that children's education
should hugely be in Welsh, as though
there were countries abroad where a
knowledge of Welsh would be of advan
tage to their sons. (Laughter). Now
what was the object of this teaching of
Kngllidi in Germany? Why, of course,
to absorb the British market, to absorb
the British trade with the liritisli col
onies. That was definite tit any rate.
Hut it was a puzzle to him how they
were going to apply their knowledge of
Welsh, und It was not only by their
deficiency in technical education, by
their reluctance to change their old ma
chinery for new, by their anxious belief
in their own superiority, by their dls
nosltion to always take and never give
but also because they did not give their
boys a chance to compete with the boys
of the continent by holding them from
a knowledge of commercial language,
and that was the reason they were
threatened by u Gorman supremacy.
(Cheers). Now the Kngllsh language,
which Is rejected and despised
by Welsh parents U to the Ger
mans (cries of "Yes," "No," hisses,
and cheers) the means of establishing
their commercial supremacy. (Chess).
It was essential that they must become
more intellectual and more alive to the
Interests and demands of the period In
which we live. Whatever the Ameri
cans do the Kngllsh must try to do
better (cheers) and the activity of
the Germans they must not only
emulate, but surpass, for he felt con
vinced that the Knglisli could do better
than either of them it they tried. Com
mercial men all through England said
the principal causes of loss of trade were
strikes, high wages, short working days
and heavy carriage rates. Such things
were undoubtedly disturbing. Hut other

Then he went on to wptak of how the
Welsh specially could regain what they
were losing. They could do it If they
would work together employers and
workmen."
. THE SONGS OF WALKS.
Mr. T. A. Levi, E. A., Aberystwyth,
son of the Rev. T. Levi, the editor of the
Trysorfa y Plant, has laid the lovers of
the sweet songs of Wales under a deep
obligation to him in preparing a very
handsome volume of selections from
works of all our Welsh poets. The book
opens with Alun's beautiful song of the
fisherman's wife and his elegy to'HIshop
Heber, "Lie trelda'r caverl yn donau
tryloewon." Alun Is followed by the
translation of Gray's elegy by D. Davis
(not Davles as Mr. Levi writes It), of
Castell Hywel which competent scholars
have described as being even superior
to the original "Ar Ian lorddonen ddo
fn," byIeuanGlanGelrlonydd,"Tl.wydd

The senate of the University of Cam
bridge has conferred the desree of 1. D.
on the Very Rev. K. Owen Phillips', dean
of St. David's. Dean Phillips has had a
very distinguished academic career, and

quently Keilow of Corpus Chrlatt college,
Cambridge, h'or mauy years he was head

Pembrokeshire has had a society to re

years. It was founded by Mrs. Naomi Xlor

in the re;ort for IMtj, during which year
eighteen blind pensioners received too.
The delightful valley of Llangattock,

From a statement made In the "Myvy
rian Archaeology," p. 1W, Vol. 111. 't
would appear that It was the custom In
Wales down to the middle of the seven
teenth century to adorn the Inner walls
of liuuses with writings and Inscriptions
such as were calculutedito promote the
moral and intellectual good of visitors. It
whs nothing strange to see the triads so
exhibited. The Japanese have long adopt
rd this, leaving Mliony Hoy to put up piml-
llsds und racers.
Referring to a teport that Mr. I ten li
vis had resolved upon settling In the Unit
ed Stales, Mre. Davis writes to Mr. Joseph
ISciinelt. ol' the Dally Telegraph: "There
Is no truth whatever In the rumor that my
hii.-liaiid is going to settle In America. He
has had a very tempting offer to make a
longer visit at the end of next year, but
even that Is not settled." The Welsh ten
or's innumerable admirers in llmlaml and
Wales will now breathe easily again.
I Thn papers had raised a great deal of
preliminary fuss over the sale of Lady
I Charlotte Hehreiber't famous collection of
old playing cards, but they were found to
lie somewli.it disappointing w hen inspect
ed. The fact had been overlooked that
Lady Charlotte had directed In her will
that the liritish museum was to make
selection from them before the sale,
Ihr.t, of course, the best were gone. The
historical cards all sold well, but the re
Downed "Jiirocehl dl Mimtcgnn," tor
which Lady Charlotte paid uhout ioW, now
realized only about 120.
For want of capital and of Its associated
L institutions many a good thing has ben
lost to Wales, and fonrolten either in the
recesses of .lesstis college of the British
Museum. Many of the Iolo manuscripts
are reported to be In the l'.iltlsh Muso'im
and some are In the I.lanover library,
where the are still more Inaccessible; ami
unthpiarlan treasures are scattered about
in county houses, such ns Aberpergwm.
where exist also, unedited, the songs and
music of Miss Jane Williams. The ancient
bell of St. Cenen was, in l.SU'J, exhibited oy
tile Venerable Archdeacon Payne to the
Society of Antiquarians. It is now lost.
One of the recently appointed Hebrew
examiners to the University of Wales is
Mr. George James Spurred, M. A., who
has a distinguished record as a Semitic
scholar. Mr. Spuirell was born at Car
marthen in P-iiii, and educated at Merchant
Taylors' school. London. Thence he
gained a scholarship at llallol college, Ox
ford, and, after graduating, continued his
studies In Germany. For some time Mr.
Spurn II acted as deputy to Dr. S. it. Driv
er, Regius professor of Hebrew at oxford,
and he was also a lecturer ut Wudhuin
college.
Vlcc-Chancellor Duvey, who Is ab.-mt.
leaving Lampeter for Tyddewl, Is one
of those Fngllsh eccleclastlcs who have
acquired Welsh during their residence in
Wales. Lampeter would seem to bo jn-do-.ved
with a local genius to teach people
the vernacular. There was Bishop Olli
vant, who, during his vlcc-princliwl days,
learnt sulllclent Welsh to call his clergy
to order In that language. Then came
Archdeacon North und the bishop of Che,
tor, both of whom picked up their Welsh
in Lampeter.
People sometimes tell that there Is close
connection between Bible and beer in the
church. So there Is in Welsh Dissent.
For instance, three of the most success

They are Dr. llerlier Evans, of Bangor,
the Rev. W. Kmlyn Jones, of Morrlston,

parents were In thut business.
Both Mr. August Manns and Dr. Joseph
Puny conducted ut the South Wales festi

only saw their backs could not tell one

On one occasion in the lifetime of Mr.
Robert Crawshuy, the famous Cyfarthfu
club, numbering l.wtii men, was taken by
him to Swansea, und such was the heat
of the weather, combined with the normal
thirsty character of the visitors, that the
place at nlitht was literally cleared out
of every drop of beer.
A curious explanation is given for the
delay In the publication of Mr. Wllhelm
' Kuhe's musical recollections. It seems
that the violet Ink In which .Madame Pat

The career of Mr.' Ellis Roberta, th
painter of the beautiful portrait of Lady
Mar and Heme at this year s academy, s
an interesting example of a man name
from comparative obscurity to fame, and
that by his own talent. Mr. Roberts start
ed In life as a figure painter at the Pot
teries, where he learnt the elements of
painting and drawing under M. Arontaux.
At the age of 17 he became a student at
the Stoke School of Arts, and two years
afterward he won the new Stafford art
scholarship. A few months afterward he
gained another prize at Bouth Kensing
ton, where he studied for over two years,
lie was then elected to the itrst traveling
scholarship ever given, and went to Rome
for the old masters and Paris for the
modern school, and gained a great reputa
tion among the students. On his return
to England, he started a small studio.
Here began his period of storm and stress.
By mere chance hit was commissioned to
paint a portrait of Lord Bury, and this
picture in the Grosvenor gallery was his

thenceforth was smooth, and commissions

other notable people.
Tho London Kelt says: "Many will be
disappointed to learn that Lord Salis
bury has refused to give the title of lord
mayor to the chief magistrate of Curdlff.
It is somewhat unfot tun.-.te that this small
concession was not granted to such a
thriving und enterprising city as the
Welsh metropolis. Glancing ut the im
portance and population of the cities
which enjoy the distinction of having a
lord mayor, It upeurs that Cardiff bus an
unquestionbln claim for this honor. Her
mlngham Is the only new town that is go
ing to have this privilege at this time.
Though small In area, Wales, however,
has an undeniable right In claiming this
title for the chief magistrate of its most
enterprising und deserving city.
The petition of Mr. Arnold Muthew for
the restoration of the dormant earldom
of Llandaif has been forwarded to her
majesty the queen, and that the uttorney

claim. The case will llnnlly be referred to
the committee on privileges ut the house
of lords, which will be dealt with eurly in

The first Important step In the getting
of Improved direct access between Lon

when the Great Western Rullwiiy com

were eight petitions against the bill, and
It augur well ns to the spirit In which
the Great Western company are carrying
out their undertaking given In the begin
ning of the present year to South Wales
that they should have been nble to dispose
of all these. Not only have the petitions
dlsappeuted, but complete arrangements
have been made us to acquiring the land,
and the price paid for it for quite two
thirds of the line. The engineers ure also

The title page of Caroline Hullng's
"The Courage of HerConvlctlona" (New
York: The Metaphysical Pub. Co.)
daxes us with this quotation: " 'I will
not marry,' was the startling response,
I want a child all my own. I will share
its affection with no one. It shall never
know a lit her.' " We ascertain that
the speaker of this singular sentiment
Is a prieutcss of revolt, one Margaret
Delafield, M. D. She carries out her
treat, becomes a mother without wed
ding or even meeting the m in who is
the father of her child, and ges brave
ly along the independent path until one
day the young one begins to cry for a
papa, and thiB upsets the social revolu
tion. In the end papa, mamma and
daughter are happily united: but not
until the author of this curious volume
has managed to spread upon paper a
number of mure or less sensational
social theories.

In "The Madonna of a Day" (New
York: D. Appleton & Co.) Miss L. Dou
gall draws a vivid picture of an agnos
tic, cigarette-smoking, brandy-drinking
new woman, an actress, who, in her
sleep, falls from a train on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, wanders Into n
camp of abandoned lumbermen, at
tracts the fancy of the chief of the camp
who gets a priest and threatens her
with a forcible marriage, plays a pious
bluff on the crowd by felginlng to be an
Innocen In distress, wins over a dwarf
who helps her to escape, and, as she re
joins her friends, relapses Into her Bo
hemian ways In time to turn the chlv
alrlc Impulses of the dwarf perhaps
the only good Impulses he had ever
known Into a rage of contempt, disap
pointment and hatred. This last cir
cumstance so weighs on the actress'
mind that we close the book with fiVlr
hope that she, being Intrinsically
worthy and only superficially free-and-easy,
will yet Briber down Into decent
womanhood. The book Is an effort to
show to women that they only fritter
away their heritage by longing for the
estate of men.

The bound volume of Chap-Book cov

1S!5. to May 1. 1S9B, makes a handsome
volume of 600 pages and gives one a

Includes, among Its thirty-four offer
ings, verses by Illchnrd Burton, Bliss
Cut-man, Clinton Scollard, Frank

MISCELLANEOUS.
"Heaven on Earth". (New York: Lov
ell Bros. & Co., 141-55 East 23th st.) is
described by Its author, Gerald Thome,
as "a realistic tale;" and it is all of that.
It purports to describe a new social or
der, known as the Society of the Per
fect I.ifo, the members of which own
and share all things in common, have a
communistic government, eschew mar
riage and propogate their kind by sci
entific rules just ns horsemen breed line
horses. The picture drawn by Mr.
Thorne of life in this society Is an in
teresting one, but highly improbable.

There Is surely something sanguinary In
the suugestiveness of the word "red" to
the nickers of titles ut least one Is in
clined to think so by Its frequent usugu of
late. We have "The Red Spell, Hie
Red Republic," "Tile Red Cockade," "The
Red Badge of Courage," "lied Men and
White." "Underthe Red Kobe," "Round the
Red Lamp," and we understand that the
title of Mr. Clinton Ross' r.ew novel, "Tho
Scarlet Coat," was originally "The Red
Coat." All these stories, with the excep
tion of Dr. Doyle's book, are lighting
stories, aid even this has to do with
"blood." The Bookman.
A SHOCKED PHILANTHROPIST.
From tho Chicago levelling Post.
The little boy was crying, and his tears
touched the heart of the charitably In
clined lady; he was so small und seemed
to be In such distress.
"Don't cry, little boy," she raid, sooth
ingly. "Dry your eyes ar.d tell me what
the trouble is. D'd some of the big boys
hurt you?"
"No'm." replied the waif, still sobbing.
"Are you sick or hungry-;" she persisted.
"No'm."
"Did vour father beat you for some
thing?" "N'o'm, but he will."
"Oh. that's tho trouble, is it?"
"Yes" m."
"Well, It's u shame," she exclaimed,
angrily. "Why will he beat you?"
" 'Cause 1 lost III cents."
"Did he tend you to buy something with
It?"
"Yes'm."
"And you lost it on the way?"
"Yes'm."
"oh. well I guess we can tlx that," Bhe
said In lu r kindly way, ax she took a dime
from her purse and handed It to the boy.
"Now, he won't beat you, wiil he?"
"No'm."
"What did he send you to buy with It?'
"Beer."
"Beer!" The good lady gasped at the
thought.
"Yes'm."
"And how did you lose It?"
"Match!ir pennies."
Before she had sufficiently recovered to

was gone.

STORY OFJEPILEPTIC
A Wealthy Woman of Sodus Bay
Relates a Thrilling Experience.
A Sufferer for Thirty Years-Treated by Eminent
Specialists-Relief from an Un
expected Source.
There Is scarcely a rhild in Western New
York, who has survived eight summers, who
has not kpent at least several months of that
time ut one of (lie many beautiful resorts of
Sodui Bay. It is here that the canoe clubs
spend their annual mitiiigs. it is here that
tilt yacht clubs of Ijike Ontario hold their
amiiiul regattas, and it is here that the Sol
liters' und Sailors' unsoriatiuus hold their an
nual re-unions. But in this rase as among
all others, where gaiety anil sport seem to
RIkmiuiI so richly, there arc often persons who
have little interest in their (.iirrniiiwlin
beautiful anil comfortable as they may tie, lie
Huise of the dreadful ellects of some terrible
listase which ulliiets the uiifnrtunntn patient
the more severely, because insteud of cluiniiug
ii for a speedy victim it makes lite one con
tinual torture by drugging through mouths aud
years oi lingering puiu.
A Jmtrnul reporter lins heard mnnv re
ports of w otnlerlul recoveries brought about
by a wonderful ntvl cll'ective remedy, and
tiiinii the more recent cases that of the com
plete recovery of .Mrs. Sarah L. Christian,
who resides on the " Bay Shore " several miles
ueyouil llonni Castle. And in order to satisfy
liiuiself tint the reports of tlieso recoveries in
'.lint vicinity were reliable, he set out last
Thursday morning about 7 o'clock for Lttiu
tnisville, the pust olVice address of Mrs. Chris
tian, deciding to spend the day unions; the
beautiful scenery surrounding the bay and to
tatisl'y his curiosi'v us to thu quality of the
.tire. The drive tlirnu,di Wayne county was
i most delightful and exhilarating one and at
I o'clock he found himself driving along the
Autre of the buy toward a liirce residence, the
ul)lw anil roof of which could just be seen pro
:radin" from a clump of magnificent trees,
iviiose eaves had been delicately tinted by the
;Vosts of October. Suddenly tie came upon
I broad drive lending to the handsome resi
li'tice, botitiilcd nn either side by doublo rows
if stately elms nnd with a hillside covered
ivith a large orchard fur a li tckcround. How
ivcr impressed as he wus by the beaut v and
rnuniliceiii'e of the scene, with the chill blue
ivatcrsof the lake in front, lashed inlt a thin
white spray by the breeze of tho lake, it was
hot nearly as impressive as the scene which fol
lowed as tile door opened in response to the call
I'roai the "knocker" nnd the reporter was
Ushered inln I ha tastefully furnished drawing
hum lv a handsome, healthy ladv of about
furtv-live, und us he noticed the culm look of
ftitisluctiou which over spread tier taen ns lie
inniimiccij his mission he was convinced at
Mire that the tale about to be told would be
in interesting one.
In re.snonse to the nrelinilnarv nnestlnn
sliesniil licit she "was very glad the reporter
I ul called us she was willing that ull afflicted
In like manner should know of her recovery
and liud the same relief that she hud found."
She snid further :
