THE SCE ANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY G, 189T. 11 THE POET ISLWYN OF SACRED MEMORY Ml. Islwyn in Wales Becomes Immortal Through Ills Muse. MANY GIANTS BORN AT MT. ISLWYN A Smnll, Wi'iilc Jinn Wns Ho Who Took tliu Mountain on Ills Shoul ders niul l'incod it in the Siglit of .llnuy Cunurntions-MoiiiR it at Will, niul Sending It on n Journey Through Wales nnd Across tho Sous To Welshmen. It Is geneinlly acknowledged that Is lwyn was among thu most gifted sons of the Welsh muse that have nourished dm Ing thu pie-sent centuiy, and as a ineacher theio was non more a'ceept uble with his denomination. Mnehyn, of tho Weekly Mall, gives the following jnetty little sketch of the hard: "I was pilvlleged once with his company from Mnesteg to Llang nwyd, and I well lemember one thing he tiled to Impress upon me, and that was the truth of the old adage, 'A poet Is bom, and not made, I hod nsked his advice as to the best books to study to become a pjjet, and I Mmll not foi get the pains he tool: to make me tee the advisability of giving up such an Idea which ho found veiy geneial among young men, 'Don't,' said he, 'dabble with poetiy If you can help it; but take to borne bianch of knowledge which you could with a lit tle industiy get to undei stand, and would piollt by.' I followed Ills ad vice, for which I feel thankful to him to this day. In the Cylcligtawn, 1S31-5J I find some poetiy written b him be fore ho adopted his baidic pseudonym Islwyn such as "GwIIjm Taidd," Un o'r Llanclau," Habell W. T ," "Will lam Thomas," and In November, lSr" he calls himself for the time "Baidcl Islujii" lie also contilbuted several articles In prose to the same magazine, upon which he was highly compliment ed by the editor, who is still with us in the poison of tho Rev. W. Williams, Aigyle, Swansea. "I.atel the long expected volume of sonnons by Islwyn have appeared, to the gieat satisfaction of all his admir ers, and, as a pietace, tho Rev. E Mathew's mutative of the poet-pieach-ei's life, which appeal In the Cylch grawn, is ghen, the following pata giaph being most ehaiacteiistlc of tho lenowned blogiaphei's stylo: 'He took the name Islwyn from tho name of his native pailsh, which was called Sly ndd Islwyn. Peihaps the parish took its name ftom the mountain, since, ac coiding to the testimony of the best hlstoilans, the mountain was theio be fore the pailsh. At any late, the name Islwyn, apatt from the mountain, has become a household woid thioughout Wales and throughout such paits of the world as aie Inhabited u Welsh men. It Is thiough William Thomns, of the liabell, that this mountain has become immoital: it was he that caused it to enter into the llteratme of Wales and to become dear to the hearts of thousands. A small, weak man was he w ho took the mountain on his shouldeis and 'Macqd It In the sight of many geneiatlons to come who other Ise would neither hae seen nor Iieai d of It. There were always many giants in statuie at Mynydd Islwn, and indeed some with gigantic minds, 3 ot no one was capable of tin owing this mountain here and theie in song, of moving it at will, of elevating It to the planets, of sending It on a journey thiough Wales and acioss the seas to "Welshmen, and giving it existence and immortality In history, except this email, weak man in body, but a setapli, stiong in mind." PROMINENT SCRANTON WELSH MAN. Mr. William Owen, of Madison ave nue, Scianton, is one of the oldest and most pioinlnent of tho Scianton Welsh men. He was boi n 74 yeais ago In Noith Wales. He arrived in Amu leu Gl yeais ago, and woiked at his tiade of nailmaklng In New Yoik city foi "WILLIAM OWEN. twelve yeais. He loft the metiopolls for Trenton, N. J,, wheie he woiked at the same profession for some yeais. Mr. Owens carao to Scranton when lots weie selling for two and three hun dred dollars that afterwards weie sold lor foity and fifty thousand dollais. He is the father of ton chlldien, six of whom are alive. One of his daughters is the estimable wife of Chief Robllng. The late Mis. Doud was also his daugh ter. The Misses Maiy and Flo live at liomo with the old gentleman In a sub stantial lesldence on the coiner of Mad ison and Olive. His sons are the Ow ens Bios., the successful monument build ers on Adams avenue. Mrs. Owens died a few years ago and her lemains were interred In the beautiful Dunmore cern etry, wheio the largest and one of the most costly and magnificent monu ments have been elected to her mem oiy. Mr. Owens was for many years a successful business man on the West Side. Notwithstanding that he has 'seventy-four yeais to his life's ciedlt lie Is as lithe today as many men of fifty and his mental faculties are as bright as In the days of yore. He Is veil blessed with woildly goods. His principal delight now is reading. Ho is a leading member of one of our Chris tian chinches, and delights In tho doc tilnes of his favorite creed. NOTKS. Aberavon can boast of the unique ills tlnctlonof a blind mayor. Mr, Henry Rich ards, who Is also knowu as a poet and a preacner. All his reading matter, ber mons, lectures, and speeches, he has spe cially printed In raised characteis, Even his dally paper is printed for him in this fashion, so he never can get until two days after publication. Tho "Winllan," the monthly magazine iBsued by tho Dookroom of tho Welsh Wesleyans for the use of their young peo. pie, celebrates Its jubileo this year and its enterprising editor, tho Rev. Thomas Jlughes, of Bootle, has signalized the tlv f A M m IPII event by Isiulnc a Jiibllee number of dou ble the usual size, which contains much hlstollcal matter of groat Intel est to the Welsh branch of the Methoillst chutch. Mr. Justice Cliantham, while presiding over the Mcrlonotlmhlru Assizes lecently, made a bold nttempt to pronounce the sweet and euphemistic name of "I.lnnll-hniiBol-genu'r Olyn," Hut ho couldn't and, turning to his ahaphitn In despair, lie asked. "Is It one or liulf a dozen words';" "One, my lord," replied the chaplain, w hereupon tho Judgo oxclnlmed, with a deep-dinwn sigh, "Then I pity jolt Welsh men," Many thanks, my lord, but the sympathy Is sndly misplaced. An analysis of tho Welsh Nonconformist denomination for 1SD3 shows that tho In dependence nie the strongest In Cnrcll gnnshlie, Carmarthcnshlie and 'aiumor ganshlie, the Hnptlsts In l'embrokeshlie and Moiiniolithshlie, and the Cnhlnlstto Methodists In all tho counties of Noith Wales, In Radnoishlro and IJieconslilrc, In the South and In the English towns. Tho total membership Is given as 117,207 for the Methodists, 130,782 for the Inde pendents, and 101,701 for the Haptlsts. The Rev T. Monts, of I'orth, whose sudden and tragic death Is elnceieb mom ned, was one of the best-known prenchcis of tho Welsh Congregntlonnllsts In ainnioignnshlre. Ho was a gieat read er and student of modern theology, and held ery definite lens upon tllo theolo gical questions of the dav, Mr. Moirls spent eighteen ears In tho mlnlstrj In Dowlals, nnd four eurs at Porth, and nt both places actively paitclpated In all good works. At tho time of his death he was prepailng a volume of seimons for the press. Notwithstanding what the traducers of the Rhondda may suy, It Is questionable whether there Is In the wholo kingdom a moie vigorous Hand of Hope union than that which has for its piesldent Mr. Al fied Thomas, M. V. The Pontypridd DIstilct Rand of Hope union Is laigely tho cieatlon of Mi. It. Ilevan, Its honota blo secretary, nnd one of Its featuies Is a monthly duoglott magazine The Hope of tho Age (Gobalth yr Oos) 111 which tho vailous acthllles of the organization aio discussed. In March tho Union will lipid Its annual eisteddfod, when a choir of D00 bright little voices will perforin. About sixty years ago, it Is said, an In dulgence was extended to every dulitoi contlned In the prison of Swansea cattle, by virtue of which the prisoners had an oppoitunltj, If their debts weie small, of securing their lelease. Having obtained this Indulgence from the high sheilft, they weie allowed to expose whitevei articles ttn.v rnlirVtt mnclni fn, nln In tllo nMPll stieel, on that side of tho market place next to the eastle. Tho limits of the ball wlck were defined by a range of small stones down the highway, within which boundarj the debtors weie as secure from tho molestation of their ciedltois as though they weie contlned within tho walls of the castle. The Rev. O. L Hobetts, of Pwllheli, has accepted the Invitation sent him a foit nlght ago to undertake the pastoral chaige of the Tabernacle Congregational church, Liverpool, In which the late Dr. John Thomas ofliclnls. Mr. Robeits, who wus lecently mauled to the only daughter of the lite Di. Hciber Evans, is in tho thlr tj -fifth j ear. Ho was oi dallied to the Congiegational mlnlstiy In the year liS2 at Penarth, Montgomeiv shire, after a oouise of training at the Hiltlsh eollegp; he afterward mlnlsteied at Pentjrch, Gla moigntibhlru, and at Mlnney stieet, Cai dlfr. He undeitook the chaige of the Penlan chuich, Pwllheli, In 1M)1, and he has labored theio with marked success. He Is a member of the Cainaivonshlro County governing body of Intel mediate schools, and a membci of the Pwllheli lo cal governing body. He Is the Noith Wales secietarj of tho Congiegational for waid movement lecently Initiated, and Is acknowledged to be one ol the leading soung ministers of his demnomlnatlon. So far as the bulk of tho subset lptlons to the Gee testimonial, as might be teason abl expected, h.ib come lrom Noith Wales, but it Is hoped that South Wales, vv 1th Its large population and enoimous wealth, will not be behind in paj lng a ttlb uto of respect to otto who may be said to have led the van In the light of Welsh Nationalism, elsh Disestablishment, Welsh Education and other Welsh move ments. Although many Llbeuls may not base ngieed with Ml Gee In all the details of his long life's woik foi Wales, no tiuly liberal-minded Welshman can foi a mo ment doubt that ho has deseted well of his countiy and the Welsh people geneial ll, nnd It Is hoped that South Wales will heartily co-operate with Noith Wales be fore the list Is finally closed In malting the tilbute a ti uly national and woithy one. The committee set out with tho Idea ot piesentlng Mr. Gee with the sum of 11,000, togethei with small suitable nnd peitm nent mementoes of the occasion to both himself and Mis Gee. About .'U0 are still lequlred to make up this amount to the satisfaction of the committee, and It Is to be hoped that they will not be disap pointed. "It was this time thieo years ago," wiltes an old Llandoveilan, "when a 'pack' of us weie making the Journey to Ulrkenhead to witness what subsequently turned out to be tho complete discomfiture of the Welsh team, a team which con tained, by the way, two of our old school fellow j Chaille Nlchol and Conway Rees to wit. Tho night was Intensely cold, In deed, we were informed at Liverpool that tho barometer hid not been lower duiiug the past twenty years! Anyhow, In spite of all discomforts, wo spent the night right meirlly, and loud and unearthly were the noises In oui compaitments that cold and diearj winter's night. Yarjis on all soits of subjects were spun, and when a 'filth fonnei' at Craven Arms committed tho following atioclty of a rlddlo the train was In Imminent danger of being derailed, so roughly handled was tho offending punster. 'I say, lads,' he asked, 'how does a tramp lesemblo Craven Arras?' "Caue neither weais stockings.' 'Wiong.' 'Wo give It up." 'Woll,' said the rlddler, beam ing with delight, 'because he Is always cravln' alms" That pun and tho ciushlng defeat our gallant fifteen sustained at Ulrkenhead on tho monow completely In capacitated all of us fot work during the following week." , In answer to many Inquiries wo would state that a very elegant maiblo slab was placed over the grave of the Maid of Cefn Ydfa when the Llangynwyd Parish church was icstoied foui yeais ago, and the ln scilptlon Is a facslmllle of what was on tho old btono In the chancel which had to bo lemoved. Will Hopkins' grave la outside tho church, but nothing to point it out In tho shapo of a slab or tomb. When the gay sage of Tieforest lead that Lord Tiedegai had met with an ac cident to his eyo whilst out shooting he at once wioto to his lordship. TIs said a fellow feeling muke3 us kind, That it extends to all tho blind; My soul !s sad this fosgy morn Because of tho ugly, barbarous thorn Which bit Tiedegar In the eye, And beieft the countiy of all Joy, Tho great have worshippers by the peck, Who to please a lord would ilsk a neck, Rut even he with an axe to gilnd Salutes Tredegar with an honest mind Lord Tiedegar leplled: "Deal 'Morion,' I nm veiy glad to see yout handwiltlng again as clear as ever. Thanks for your sympathetic veiscs, My accident, happi ly, Is not serious, and I am rapidly lecov erlng." Evidently tho Druid and the ba ron see eye to eye. It Is Interesting to find that the late Bishop of St. David's wqs Sir Geoige Os borne Morgan's private tutor at Oxford, "And," says Sir George, In chronicling the past, "a better man never lived." Tho caieer of the Welsh radical leader In Ox ford was an amazingly brilliant one. It has not escaped the notice of Principal T. C, Edwards that the call to which a minister gives the readiest answer Is the one with the biggest salary, "What eats the strength of tho church," says ho In the "Genlnen," "and utterly destroys tho Influence of Christianity Is the worldllness, II If mKwWR0& Mimlm mSmi the love of money, the mlseillness, the nairownees and tho selfish ambition of some ministers of the Woid." And bo we feai It will continue while ministers ate merely men, human, eveiy day men. Poity-five yeais' ervlce is a rare rej ord It was in ISj-' when tho duke of Wellington was still alive that Mi. Will iam Powell took on duty as oigaulst of St. Mary's Roman Catholic chutch In Mon mouth a post which he has Just leslgned to thu rcgiet of all. We are going to have a series of Welsh teirttoildl names. One of the bcst-kno.vu mlnlsteis In Biadfoid Is thu Rev. T. Rhondda Williams. This departuie, no doubt, will be followed by the Rev. John Ogmore Jones, the Rev. Evan Cadoxton-Juxta-Neath Evans, or the Rev. Jenkln Caerphilly -Higher Jenkins, D D. One of the most humorous lecturers who have toured Ameiica was a Welshman named Robert .Tones-Burdett. Ho was a native of ISrynmawr, nnd always com manded a good fee for his lectin e. Never heard of him He must have been lectin -lng to the Indians. i No one at Swansea was sill prised to find Miss Dlhvyn smoking a clgai nt the com meiclal banquet recently. Miss Dlllwvn has long been a devotee to "sublime to bacco." The story goes that her lather (the late M. P.) used to say to guests with whom the family were on Intimate teims, "If y ou care foi a clgai y ou had bettoi join my daughter In the smoking loom." N It Is stated that about .10 have '-o far been collected among the London Welsh for the proposed national memorial to Prince Llewelyn, and It Is hoped to get tho sum up to 100. One of the London secre tailes has lecehed a note from the sec retary of tho lord chaucelloi, In which Loid Halsbuiy piomlses his support foi the movement foi commemoiatlng "the last native Pi luce of Wales." Refenlng fo the tieaty of aibltratlon between England and America, the Llvei pool Meicuiy bays, with a sigh: "One can only regret that the late Mi. Homy Rich ard, M. I'., and other tried friends of the pollcv of arbitration are not alle to wit ness this triumph of their principles." Ileie Is a true story of tho dead Bishop of St. David's which has not yet seen the light. Between fifteen and twtnty yeais ago a veiy worthy Caunaither dilre cui ate, who had worked haul for his church against ndveisltles and reeises,as nomi nated Informally by Bishop Basil Jon's to a cuiacy betwixt Cardiff and Riecon. But counter Influences wero at woik, and tho Incumbent (now gone, like the bishop, to the "gieat majoiity") took a sund against tho cuiate, whose life became em bittered by exceeding p.aioehlal bitter ness. He was a masterly ineacher, and his seimons were affluent of thought and lnplratlon. The wondei was that so gift ed a mind contented Itself with so lowly and obscure a position, Tho vlcai, how ever, lgnoied all thee considerations, and this gentle but of mlsfoi tune's buffets was pietty neaily broken-hearted. In his previous curacy he had been tho means of building a paisonage. But the vicar had died, and the next vicar had his own cuiate, and so Mi. Blank had to shift. Whilst he was on probation nt his wife and family woie actually domicilii down West In a building which had been an outhouse or attached to one, and then the youngsters were laid low with typhoid. The facts reached the bishop's eai, and evidently his heart burnt hot within him He did not, ns fat as the w i Iter know s, i ay anything. But the euiato was Immediate ly nominated to a rectoiy In the diocese, and there he piobably still Ives a noble man, whoo life has been one of high, but unostentatious, excellence.

Senator Quay Is veiy fond of Mr. Pen rose, and has been tialnlng him foi sev eral yeais to bo his successor as the Re publican boss In thut state. Mr. Quay first picked up Robert Adams for that destiny He is a young mm ol excellent family, which counts so much In Philadelphia, with an Independent ior tune, a good speaker nnd n knaek for politics. He had him elected to the legls latuie, then to the state senate, and then got President Harrison to send him as minister to Bia?ll In older that he might have a little diplomatic experience. At tho next election after his return, ho put him up foi congt ess, but Adams did not fill tho bill. Ho was too fond of society. Ho liked to go to balls and dinner parties, and was a great ladles' man, which de ttacted from his usefulness as apolltlclnn. Mr. Quay tried to correct these habits, but Adams' social Instincts were too strong foi him, and ho had finally to give up. Boles Pentose had already made coit3'd er.tble headway In local politics, and hid attt acted Mr. Quay's attention. After watching him closely for a while, and subjecting him to various tests to see what stuff there was in him, the sena tor decided to make Penrose his politi cal hell, and he Is now the ciown prince of the Pennsylvania machine. Ho sent Pentose to tho state senate nnd kept him there until he was iccognlzed by every body as Mr. Quay's petsonal repiosenta tlve. -Now he comes to tho United States senate, young, nble, accomplished and with a prospect of a famous caieer. Cei talnly no young man, and he Is only SO years old, ever had a liner oppoitunlty to distinguish himself, and they say that he Is made of the pioper kind of stuff Like Adams, Mr. Penrose comes ftom the exclusive circles of the Philadelphia arls toctacy.

If Canada were to ailse In revolt against the Biltlsh monaichy, as Cuba has ailsen against the Spanish monaichy, and vvsie to strlko lot Independence and self-government as Cuba has stiucl: for them, the Amu leans would veiy suiely take a deep unci est in the Canadian question. If England weie to send hundteds of thousands of troops to Quebec to ctush the Canadian levolt, as Spain has sent hun dteds of thousands to Havana ngalnst the Cuban ieolt, the Ameilcan lnteiest In the affult would grow yet strongei. If the English troops weie not only to fight tho belligerent Canadians, but weie to butcher the defenceless Inhabitants of Canada, minder the Canadian prisoners of wai, burn thu hospitals of the Canadian Insurgents, shoot all Canadians suspected of sympathizing with tho lnsuuectlon, kill women and children, execute cltlens without trial, banish people to penal set tlements In Afilca, and do other evil deeds resembling those of Spain In Cuba, Amet Ican sympathy fot the suffering Canadians would be too sttong foi reptesslon. If England weie to send against the Canadians a savage genetal, with lull powei to turn Canada Into n chainel house, and to lay waste Its pi ov luces, as Spain has sent the savago Weyler to Cu ba, wo think that the Amei leans of this genet atlon would ciy "Halt!" very soon after the carnage and the lavages had be gun. If the English were to claim that, be cause they held Quebec and other toi tilled places against the Canadlnns, as the'Span laids hold Havana and a few other sttong holds against the Cubano, It was their piTv liege to destioy all the rest of Cana da, we do not think tho Amet leans would acquiesce If England weie to say that she has maintained her authority In Canada for many years, and that the countiy Is hers by tight of conquest, which Is what Spain says about Cuba, tho Amet leans would piobably leply that It was time toi England to get out when the Canadians didn't want hei any longei. If England weie to aigue that, because sho suppressed the Paplneau-Maekenzle lovolt In Canada sixty yeais ago, he would certainly suppiess uny othet levolt, as Spain says she Is suro to win In Cuba this time because she won thero thirty years ago, tho Amei leans would probably legard the argument as Inconclusive, If at the time of the Canadian uprising thete should bo In the white house a president like Cleveland, nnd In the state depaitment a secretary like Olney, and If the two should do all they could to help England In Canada, n3 they ha e done all in theli power to help Spain In Cuba, wo appiehcnd that the congiess of the United States and the Amet ban people would quickly tie their hands, and thou lalso Insist e the etitalee The best Washing Powder made.
