THE WELSH COAL STRIKE.  A conference of miners' deleatgew wax held on Wednesday at Cardin to consider the terms of the strike settlement wiurtu were provisionally incepted by their leaders on Saturday. After a long and at times excited and acrimonious debate, a division was taken, and the voting was— For accepting terms, 61,912; against, 37,077; neutrul, 14,8011. The strike is thus praelically at on end. 'rho result of the conference will ire reported to a joint meeting of the employers arid workmen's committees to-day, and it is expectesl that arrangements will then be made for an early resumption of work. It is calculated that the lees to the district as the result of the ntrike in between six and seven millions sti ruing. COLOURED GIRL'S SUICIDE,  . • A curious story was told at Bedford on Monday iii the course of an inquest on a coloured nurse-maid named Clara Buchanan. Mr. Bm. Peacock, a Bedford resident, brought the girl from South Atrim, as she had threaten.' to manmit suicide it she were left behind. She W. subject to epileptic tits, and frequently displayed symptoms of mental aberration. She was therefore told some time ago that another nurse must he engaged, and that she would he found light household duties. This seemed to prey upon her mind. On Friday night she was reprimanded by her mistress, and she subsequently proceeded to the Midland Railway, just outside the town, and, stepping from behind a signal box, laid herself in front of an express train. Curiously enough the train passed over he: without apparently hurting her, but soother train was coming 111 the opposite direction, and. before any one could interfere, she placed herself in front of it and was cut completely in two. A verdict of "Suicide while temporarily insane" was returned.  Bacteria multiply very rapidly, anti they do it in a very carious way. A tangle one breaks itself into two, thea each hall grows until it becomes as large ow the original.

SKIPTON.  - . VISIT OF THE BISHOP. The Bishop a Ripon. on Monday. continued his visitation, and presided at a ronferenee at the Town Hall. The ceremony of swearing it the churchwardens of the three rural deanowie4 was performed by Dr. Tristram. Chancellor of the diocese. A ,hort service followed. The Archdeacon of Craven suggested that in country districts the results of confirmation compared favourably with those experienced 'n the towns. He thought that seven or elan,irstnictions were not sufficient as a preparation. and suggested that a union or guild would be useful—The Rev. J. A. V. Magee tvicar of  Gargrare) said his experienea in Gargrace hail been thot Dissenters were regularly in the habit of being confirmed. . '  The Bishop of Richmond. with regard to adult confirmation. said he was in favour of having a special confirmation. if. say, 2.1 ‘null be brought together. Gradually the Weeleyans had been. anti were. changing their attitude to confirmatinn, to which in early days they had always resorted. Confirmation should be given only to those who professed an intention to go tn church, for no advantage resulted to either party by the confirmation of the undecided.  The Bishop of RIPOR WM much struck by the high proportion of male candidates for confirmation ir the Craven district. He then proceeded to discuss the legal wooed of the quesa tion raised by the application of a Dissenter to be ionfirmed, and reminded the conference that personal influence is greater thou statutory kw. It was. he thought. wiser to extort no promise. hut to rely on the spiritual laje of such an appeal. The conference then proceeded to discuss the question of additional serviees, and the Bishop of Ripon, in closing the diseuseion, announced that he had been requested to provide services for the burial of suicides and infants. ITC was quite in sympathy with such a desire, and would be glad to have the assistance of a committee in drawing up service,. Some uniformity was desirable.
