THE SOEANTON TRIBUTE -SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1897. 15 Notes THE NATIONAL GISTEDDFOD. It Is at length possible to gnugc what proportions tho gathering of the' Na tional Eisteddfod at Newport next month aro likely to assume. Ai to the general arrangements, In the first place tho pavilion "would seem to bo unexceptionable. It Is centrally situated the seating Is conceived on an aniplo Bcalo, tho provision fob natural light and ventilation Ib excellent: tho arti ficial light Is of tho best. To Bit on the broad backed benches and listen to the choir of COO picked voices prac tising Is to get a foretaste of the more perfect performance, with tho acces sories of a big audience and of a Vhalanx of Instrumentalists. The pavil ion doca much credit to Its designer (Mr. B. Lawrence, architect) nnd Its builder (Mr. Oeorgo Martin). It Is In form soml-clrcular, 34G feet from end to end, CO feet In altitude at the high est point, and with an average height of nearly 40 feet. There Is a broad promenade runnlnir around the semi circle, and coverglng to the floor In front of the orchestra aro numerous gangways between tho seats. The en trances aro twelve In number. Tho committee's Idea was accommodation for 17,000 or 20,000. The total actual ac commodation Is 13,450, divided as fol lows: Orchestra and platform, C00: first seats, 1,900; second seats and promenade, 4,790; third seats and prom enade, 0,250. The arc lamps are of 2,000 candle power, hung at such an altltutlo aa not. to Interfere In any way with a clear view of the orchestra from tho point distant parts of tho building. Very little decoration will bo allowed to depend midway: everything In the shape of ornament will be fixed to tho walls of the promenade, so as to lessen risk from fire or accident. THE ENTRIES. As an Index of the success of the meeting, the entries are gratlfylngly large. These number 1,260 In the mu sical competitions, nnd 450 In the sec tion devoted to tho nrts, etc. Tho qual ity, too, Is well up to tho mark. In the chief choral competition there nro eight entries; In the second greatest choral competition there Is a record entry of 13; In tho glee competition, 17 entries; male voice competition, 13; and In ladles' choirs a record entry of eight. The arts aro to be housed In ono of the long permanent buildings vhlch run parallel with, the pavilion, and which will be familiar to visitors to Lord Tredegar's show as being de voted to poultry and implements. Here the Arts committee, aided by Profes sor Herkomer, will be busy In a few days hanging and arranging the COO works submitted In oil, water-color, photography, sculpture, and needle work. A practical side of this depart ment will be the Art Union, to which project, .a new one, by the bye, in con nection with the Eisteddfod, the sanc tion of the government department has been obtained. There Is nlso talk of a trades exhibition, and although some what late, of still another feature a new one In connection, with tho Eis teddfod.

The Archdrutd (Hwfa Mon) presided, and there wero present Mr. T. H. Thomas, Cardiff; Rev. E. Jiees (Dy fcd). Cardiff; Rev. W. H. Williams, Watcyn Wyn, Ammanford; Cadfan, Geralnt, Gwyncdd, Canon Davles, Dy frlg, Lllfon, Bryfdlr, Elfwryd (Gorsedd recorder), and others. Mr. T. II. Thomas, Cardiff, presented the following report upon gifts to tho Gordsedd Belrdd ynys Prydaln: "In order to complete the banner and its appurtenances Sir Arthur Stepney, Bart., has requested that a stand In worked brass shall be designed and specially made in corresponding man ner at a largo cost. This work is now nearly completed by Mr. S. W. Allen, A. R. C. A. The Right Honorable Lord Tredegar, tho descendant of the ancient friend of the bard Ivor Hael, has signi fied his Intention of presenting to the Gorsedd a 'Hltlas' Horn, In order that the ancient Uorseddlo custom of the Abarthged may be carried out. This work Is entrusted to the celebrated Welsh scrulptor, Mr. W. Goscombo John. The 'Ilirlas' will be mounted In the most magnificent manner in worked silver in a very costly style, and will be doubtless ono of tho very finest works of Its cla&s. It will take a con siderable time to execute, but the model cf It will be prepared and used In the ancient custom nt the National eis teddfod at Newport in August next. "Arlunydd Penygarn, ("Arwydd Fardd yr Orsedd.") "July 3, 1M7." Mr. T. H. Thomas, In further ex planation of his report, stated that the banner and stand complete would pro bably cost 150, the whole of which would be borne by Sir Arthur Stepney. With reference to the Hlrlas Horn, Lord Tredegar had originally Intended pre senting the Gorsedd with a sword for the chairing ceremony; but Professor Herkomer having undertaken to prlo vido a suitable sword, fashioned with a due regard to artistic effect and anti quarian models, Lord Tredegar had readily consented to substitute any other piece of Gorseddlc furnltur which might be required for tho public ceremonials. In consultation with Lord Tredegar it had been decided that a Hlrlas Horn of solid Bllver, fitted with suitable gems, would best meet the present most pressing requirements of the Gorsedd; and, ns Intimated In the report Just read, the horn was now in process of manufacture. It might Interest tho bards to know that the cost of tho horn would prob ably bo at least 250 and Lord Trede gar had readily and generously under taken to bear tho whole of this ex pense. The horn would bo ready by the Fastinlog eisteddfod, and would bo found to be perhaps the finest speci men of the kind in existence, Tho only instrument of the kind which ap proached it would be nenry VII. s his toric horn, but ho felt Justified in say ing in all probability every authority would unite in awarding tho palm to tho Gorsedd Hlrlas, for which they would be indebted to Lord Tredegar's patrlotlo genqroslty. " The Archdruld. ana.'othSY&Vwipressed the indebtedness of the Gorsedd to Lord Tredegar, nnd Arlunydd Peny garn. In the course of the Bubsequent dls timo tho eisteddfod Is held at Cardiff cusslon is was Intimated that by the in 1899 the Gorsedd will, thanks to the generosity of Lord Tredegar, Profes aor Herkomer, Sir Arthur Stepney, and others, be possessed of Gorseddlc vest ments and appurtenances which will have cost 1,000. WANT WALES RECOGNIZED. Acting upon the recommendation of tho Cardiff corporation, the various municipal and other local authorities throughout Wales are unanimously ndoptlng the memorlnl in favor of in cluding tho Walsh amis on tho Royal shield and tho national flag. The mem orial, which Is addressed to "her ma Jety In council," strongly but deferen tially urges "that one quarter of tho royal shield of the United Kingdom should be alloted to arms represent ing tho ancient British people." Pre cedents arc furnished of previous omis sions and additions, and attention is rolled to the fact that Henry VII "was of Cymric race, and fought the desls lve battle of Bosworth Field under his banner of the Red Dragon of Wales, and that all the Tudor sovereigns bore arms or supporters representing that country." Tho me morial speaks of the "unbroken loy alty of the Welsh people to the British throne," and refers to "the Cymry who have fought and bled for the throne, not as Individuals merged In the Eng gllsh army, but In regiments professed ly Welsh, and as distinct In nationality as the Scotch and Irish troops, having their own qualities nnd successes." The present request Is made In the Diamond Jubilee Year as "showing tho earnest wish" of the Queen's "Cambrian sub jects to draw still closer Into union with England and the other countries of the United Kingdom, while corre spondingly conscious of their own an cient race and history, and desirous of heraldic recognition." MAY GO TO CANADA. William Gilfllth, general agent for the Canadian government, attended an extraordinary mass meeting of Pen rhyn quarrymen at Bethesda Chapel on Saturday, July 10, Alderman Parry, Coetmor, presiding. The agent read a telegram from the Hon. Clifford Set ton, minister of the Interior, Canada, intimating that the Canadian govern ment wero making arrangements for special land grants to one thousand Welsh emigrant laborers in Manitoba or North West territory, and under taking to provide remunerative em ploy for them on government railways and public works In tho nelghbrhood of the settlement, thus enabling them to secure means to start farming opera tions on land grants. The announce ment was enthulastlcaly received. The executive committee held a special meeting to consider the offer and ways and means to send a detachment of emigrants provided further official Ca nadian correspondence proves satisfac tory. There 13 great excitement at Bethesda. LLANWRTYD WELLS. The discovery of the beneficent ef fects of the waters of Llanwrtyd Wells Is attributed to the Rev. Theophllus Evans (1G04-1769), tho author of "Drych Prlfoesoedd," nnd grandfather of Theo phllus Jones, the historian of Brecon shire. Mr. Evans suffered greatly from scurvy, and about tho year 1732 he was in the neighborhood of Llanwrtyd. He visited the well, which was then con sidered to be a poisonous one, and while on the banks ho noticed a frog jump about In It. This led him to the con clusion that It could not bo poison ous, and being thirsty he drank freely of tho water. Before the morning he was convinced he was somewhat bet ter, and pursued In a course of drink ing, which ultimately led to his com plete cure. Tho fame of Llanwrtyd Wells spread far and wide, with the re sult that It became the popular sum mer resort It is today. A CONTEST. In 1797, says the Cardiff Times, beer was sold at ono penny per mug in the Vale of Glamorgan, and a happy pair could get married for the sum of three shillings and sixpence. A farm labor er's wages were eight-pence to ono shilling a day, and a collier's wages were twelve shillings per week. Tea was then ten shillings a pound, loaf sugar wns one shill ing and fourpenco a pound, starch was two shillings a pound, cotteo was four shillings and elghtpence to five shillings a pound, and a quarter of mutton was throe shillings and nine pence. Contrast these with the prices or isu7, tno yueon's Diamond Jubilee year. ANCIENT CARDIFF. Iolo Morgnnwg wrote concerning Caerdydd that this town was original ly founded by Aulus Dldlus, called by tho Welsh, Dldl Gawr. A. D. 53. and Its present name dates from the first century. The ancient Britons called it, from its orlgnal founder, Caer Dldl, which has been corrupted by time into Oaerdydd, Caerdyf, Cardiff. NOTES. Eleven years ago a young collier named David Thomas, at the tlmo 10 years old, was "fathorcd" with tho child of Mar garet DavUs' Bankffosfelen, Llnngen dame, who Was twice his age. The lad immediately sailed for tho United States, where he settled down end married. The other day he paid a visit to his native place, and visiting the houso of a friend, "Margaret" discovered his whereabouts. No tlmo was lost In securing a warrant for his arrest, und ho was confronted at Carmarthen with a bill for tha amount of his arrears, amounting to tho respectable total of 73. Ho offered a compromise of 10, which was accepted, but ho was de tained in custcdy pending payment of the money, which was not at once forth coming. A dreadful accident occurred on Wcd nedsay morning, July 7, at Crombran, which resulted In tho death of Nowman Williams, the 10-year-old son of William Wllllams.amnchlncmannt the Patent Nut and Bolt company's factory. The lad wns taking his father's brcaktast to the wonts, and on his way had to pass over a levei crossing near tho works, nt which placo thero Is a sharp curve of the rails. When tho lad had Just got through the gate at the crossing nn engine with six trucks of pig Iron came around the curve tho first Edwnrd Drlccoll, nt Newport, wanted to be locked up and deliberately kicked to pieces Kites show wlndpws. In the prison ho tied his pocket handkerchief to the top of his cell and hanged himself. A boy named Edwnrd Lomas, oged flvo year, son of tho caretaker df tho cus toms house, Cardiff docks, wns playing on tho canal sldo nt tho back of tho Imperial hotel, Mount Stuart square, when he fell into tho wnter nnd waa in great danger of being drowned. A mnn named William Bildon, who was pausing-, Jumred into tho water and succeeded In getting hold of tho lad, both rescuer nnd rescued be ing assisted from tho water In an ex hausted condition by Walter Martin. In the first half of the present year thore have been shipped from Cardiff e.279,4) tons of coal, 182,892 tons of patent fuel and 25,463 tons of coke. As compared witn. tho corresponding period of last year, those figures show nn increaso in the coal shipments of 310,003: in patent fuel, 25,929 tons, and in coke a loss of 10,122 tons. This Is a very tall record Indeed for the half year, nnd If tho same rato of prog ress is maintained for the current half year tho gross shipments ntlll run to the enormous total of 17,754,570, thus beating Inst year's ri-cwrt by something Mk 1,500,000 tons. The Increase In shipments has ibeen almost wholly confined to Harry nnd Pcnnrth, but tho overwhelming shoxo has gone to Barry, Dr. Abrnhnm Hccs, tho celebrate'd en cyclopaedist a Welshman, bon nt Linn brynmalr formed ono of the deputation of Presbyterian ministers tha went to congratulate Gcorgo III, on his nsccnt to the throno In 1760, and 60 years Inter, In 1320, he was. among those who congratu lated his successor. Dr. Mnrtineau was one of thoso who did slmllnr honor to the queen In 1S37 and again In 1SS7, and ho is still hale nnd hearty In 1897. Tho most popular fenture of the great musical festival nt the Carnarvon pa vilion on July 8 was the solo singing by Knte Morgan, Dowlals, who received a henrty encoro each llmo she put In nn ap pearance. Her rendering of "Partmae'r Amen" nnd "Wrth goflo' 1 ruddfannu', yr ardd" nt the ovenlng meeting was a revelation, and deeply affected tho tm menso audience. Tho Cardiff Times says: "Professor Dan Prothcroc, Mus. Bac, of Milwaukee, author of tho chorus, 'The Crusn dors,' for male voices, the test piece nt tho Bridg end eisteddfod, has again composed ,nn excellent piece, entitled 'The Roman Sol diers,' which is to be published by Mr, David Jenkins, Mus.

James Williams, who this month undertakes tho pastornto of tho Congregational church nt Abecarn, In suc cession to tho Rev. J. Harold Williams, now of Bridgend, Is a Carmarthen mm Ho wns educated at tho Presbyterian col lege' of his natlvo town, whence he pro ceeded to Yalo university, America, where he graduated In cilvlnlty. In response to nn influential memorial, the high sheriff of Carnarvonshire (Mr. Lloyd Hughes) has convened a public meeting to discuss th desirableness of extending to Sir Elils Nnuncy a county welcome, Including tho presentation of nn address, to' celebrate the recent bo- stoynl of a baronetcy on him by tho queen. It Is rumored that a certnln Rip Van Winklo knocked nt the great door of Carnarvon castle; the other day, and asked seriously, "Is King Edward in?" "Oh, no," was tho reply, "he has been dead theso 600 years." "Good heaven!" ejaculated tho man, turning away, "how tlmo docs fly." Mr. Prltchard Morgan, M. P., has sent a check for ten guineas towards tho funds of tho HIrwnIn eisteddfod, tho proceeds of which wi 1 bo devoted in aid of tho es tablishment of a public library In that district. At tho recent Brecon eisteddfod (says tho Musical Times), a prlzo for charol singing was rffr red by the licensed victuallers of tho town. Up came a tem perance choral society from Nawport and won it! Tho generosity of Mr. Henry Tato to Welsh education seems to know no bounds. His latest gift is a donation of 100 to the building fund of the Newtown Intermediate school. Tho will of Major Thomas Chlchelo Ba--grave Watklns. of Brecon, has been proved, tho value of tho personal estate being 12,915.

How Ho Cnpturcd, Single Ilnudcd, Two Noted Outlaws, and Afterward Protected Tlirm. From tho Times-Herald. The nerviest man in the northwest was Sheriff Orren T. Moxson, a slight ly built man with a woman's mild blue eyes, who dressed as an ordinary citi zen and wore a derby hat. In his day the Job of sheriff was not a sinecure, as the two score notches on his gun attested. He was never given to boasting of his eventful life; but stories of his wonderful nerve are told today by tho old fellows who helped settle the twin Dakotas. The most remark able feat of his career was the capture, single handed, of "Stub" Shay and Tom Qulnn, two notorious horse thieves and all-round desperadoes, who made miserable the lives of 'the settlers who lived near the Cannon Ball in Hetting er and Morton counties. A series of minor depredations cul minated In a bold raid on the "37" ranch, In which the outlaws got away with the choicest bunch of horses. Moxson, accompanied by three cow punchers, started in pursuit the follow ing day. The trail followed the north bank of the Cannon Ball, through Het tinger and Morton counties, until It turned abruptly to the northwest at the Intersection of the North Fork. It was evident that the outlaws were making for the bottom lands of the Missouri river. Once lost In the maze of cotton woods, the pursuit would have to be abandoned. Having traveled 125 miles in less than two days, the horses were Jaded, but they responded to the promptings of the spurs, and before sunset of the second day they gal loped through Deer Pass and halted at the edge of the bottom lands. There was a loud report, and a. bullet wheezed above their heads. Not 300 yards away was tho outlaws' camp, and In front of the small fire wero Shay and Qulnn, with Winchesters at their shoulders. Sheriff Moxson did some heavy thinking in the space of a few seconds. It was useless to make a move for ward, for they had the "drop" on him, and ho did not care to sacrifice his two companions needlessly. Finally he un buckled his belt and flung It, with his revolver, to the ground. Dismounting he tossed tho bridle to one of his friends, "Boys," ho said, "you remain here; and don't fire until you see me fall." Then whistling softly to himself, ho sauntered toward the camp, apparent ly taking no notice of tho rifles cover ing his heart. "Fifty feet more, Sheriff, and you're a dead man," cried Shay. Moxson hesitated not tho fraction of an Instant. The fifty feet were cov ered nnd he walked steadily forward, "For God's sake, Moxson, go back! Wo don't want to hurt you, but we'll not bo taken." The plucky officer took no notice of tho warning. Tho bluo eyes were fixed LADBES DO YOU KNOW DR.FELIXLEDRUN'S Steel Pennyroyal Treatment is the original nnd only FltliNCII, unfa and reliable care on tho mar ket. 1'rtcf, ll.uu; seat vy uuul Uenulut Bold only by Wm.

Still whistling lie strode straight to the muzzles of tho rifles, brushed 'thorn aside an It thoy had been broomsticks, and in much less time than it takes for tho telling, two of tho most desperate men that in fested tlie country wero in Irons. It was a mervclous exhibition of pure nerve, as well as an illustration of tho potency of tho law. As was expected in thoso days, an effort wns made to lynch the outlaws. Nearly two score men from neighboring ranges sur rounded the one-story frame building that did double duty nn a Jail and a residence. They made so much noise that it interrupted the poker game be tween Moxson and his prisoners. With two revolvers in his hnnds ho made his appearance at the door and gave them sixty seconds to disperse. Then he went back to his game and was inter rupted no more that night. Moxson died three years ago, not with his "boots on," but as peacefully as If his life had been spent In a Qua ker settlement. Shay and Qulnn are serving out their sentence In 'the peni tentiary. MARRYING FOR MONEY. Clcrcr Defense of n Much-Condemned Mntrimonlnl Step. Among the unnecessarily harsh Judg ments pronounced upon human actions may be classed the universal scorn ex pressed toward the girl who marries for money. There nre those who do not hesitate to draw tho most odious com parisons between such a girl and oth ers of her sex, says a writer in Vogue. Making of love, so called, a sort of fetich, the world deifies what Is after all but an instinct, as though it were a grander, finer thing than courage or probity or self-denial or any other nally' beautiful human trait. It ap plauds any Insanity commuted in the name of love, provided always that the conventions are observed. Love that leads to the degraded life of the tene ments, to alliances with the diseased or morally weak, that throws away years of training In an art or a science, that breaks the hearts of parents all of theso things and many as mon strous are excused If only "love" Is of fered as a reason for their doing. In a world like this, where, In spite of countless public and private chari ties for the alleviation of their suffer ings and the permanent bettering of their conditions thousands of helpless little ones expiate by cruel suffering and acute want their parents' scorn of money considerations In matrimony, It cannot surely "be wholly repiehensl tlu to look with favor on moneyed alli ances. Sentiment is, Indeed, to be preferred to sordIdnss, but the girl who decides for tho decencies as well as the luxur ies of life for herself and any children wealth lnstoad of poverty is not neces sarily sordid and, beautiful though sentiment may be, hen to cherish It means Inevitably life In small.unwhole some quarters, the hot, stuffy town for the children even In their critical sec ond summer (since the little home can not spare the services of its mistress nor is there any money to spare for the season's needed outing), when as is usually tho case sentiment means all this frightful injustice to little, help leys beings, the price is too high and it ceases to be a virtue.
