LLANGOLLEN POLICE COURT. Tuesday.—Before J. H. Davies, Esq. A JUVENILE OFFENDER. Richard Williams, Dee Lane, Llangollen, a little boy nine years of age, was brought up in custody charged with the theft of half-a-pound of tea from the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Morris, Aber- adda, Llangollen.—The evidence went to show that the tea was missed from a meat safe in the back room and found in the possession of the accused, who was alleged to have gone round to the baek door of the house and extracted it.-P.S. Wyse said there were so many complaints as to thefts of this kind that he considered it his duty to bring the boy before the Court.-The accused said that a little girl had taught his sister to steal and she had taught him.-The Magistrates' Clerk said that the Home Secretary was against boys of this kind being locked up, and he was accordingly remanded, and permitted his liberty on promising to appear at the Petty Sessions oa Monday.

Mr. David Hughes presided and there were also present Mr. R. M. Davies, Mr. J. Roberts, Mr. David Jones, Mr. D. W. Roberts aad the Rev. J. ORen, with the Clerk (Mr. John Evaos) and the Surveyor (Mr. John Williams.) BALANCE. The Clark reported the balance due by treasurer to be 452 4s. 5d. MR. JOHN WILLIAMS. The Clerk read a cammuuication from Mr. John Williams (Trefynant), thankmg the Council most sincerely for their kindness and sympathy shown with his family during their recent bereavement. He also wrote apologizing for his inability to attend the Council meeting that evening as he has not yet recovered from the attack of sciatica from which he has been suffering and, although he felt much better, was not yet authorised to go out. APPOINTMENT. Mr. John Williams was reappointed as a governor (to represent the Llangollen District Council) of the North Wales University College, Bangor. THE MEDICAL OFFICERSHIP. Dr. J. P. Drinkwater wrote stating that he had been medical officer to this authority for nearly forty years and that he would feel greatly obliged if the Council would sanction the appoint- ment of his son, Dr. R. Drinkwater, as deputy medical officer, as at times during the cold weather he suffered from rheumatism and sciatica. The Council sanctioned the appointment being made. MEASLES AND SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. Dr. Drinkwater reported that daring the past month he found it to be necessary owning to the prevalence of an outbreak of measles at the Vroii- oyssyltau schools, to advise the Education authority to close the schools for fourteen days, from Nov. 13th to Nov. 27th, and also to advise an extension to Dec. 11th, 1905. Although unable to secure precise statistics as to the number of cases of measles and chicken pox occurring in the district, he ascertained that 70 per cent of the scholars were incapable of attending school. The other school districts had remained free from the scourge, and did not require such drastic measures.—Mr. J Roberts said the number of cases of measles did not exceed fifty, but they must remember that if anyone in a house was down they kept them all at home. He would like to know if they, as a Council, had I power to deal with measles.—The Clerk It is I not a. notifiable disease.—-Mr. J. Roberts If we see not a notifiable disease.—-Mr. J. Roberta If we see some possible means pf preventing it spreading, have we not power to go into the matter 1 By closing the schools we help fco spread the disease ratter than to present it, for when the ehiidren of a family in wmca tue 'disease exists, wno are not affected, stay sway they play. together.—Kqy.

Children would have the measles; it was only a flash and then it was over.—The report was adopted. The Council then adjourned.

— ♦ NE W BOOKS, LITERATURE, Etc. 11 The proprietors of the Queen. the lady's newspaper, with the Christmas Double Number, will present each reader with a beautiful work of art, in the form of a Rembrandt Gravure reproduction, 30 by 22 inches, of the original painting by the well-known artist, J. W. West, R.W.S., entitled A Long Story." This charming picture of the Georgian period was exhibit- ed in the Royal Academy last year and most favour- ably noticed at the time. The picture is artistically produced on proof paper, and as a real work of art is worth many times the sum charged, being without doubt the finest plate ever given away with a news- paper, and we advise our readers to order at once from their newsagent. The publishers of The Strand Magazine have been fortunate in securing a. new serial from the pen of the well-known writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The title is Sir Nigel and the scene is laid in the Middle Ages, somewhat earlier than "The White Company." It has the advantage over the latter book of being a broader picture of the age and dealing more with the big events of national history of that time. The story begins in The Strand Magazine Christmas Double Number and will run for a year. Noted as this familiar magazine is for the excellence of its contents, it is confidently anticipated that" Sir Nigel" will excel in vivid and stirring interest any serial that has yet appeared. THE GltAPHIC" CHRISTMAS NUMBEH.—Two nefi coloured plates are given away with this year's Christmas Number of The Graphic. Of these, one is a charming study of a young girl by Mr. St. George Hare, R.I., entitled "Memories," and the other, by Mr. Arthur Wardle, entitled "GotjfHim," shows a small boy capturing the Christmas turkey. The Christmas Number, which will be published on November 27th, is, as usual, illustrated throughout in colours, and is bound in an artistic cover, on which is a beautiful reproduction of one of Sir Peter Lely's exquisite portraits. It contains a capital collection of short stories by Frankfort Moore, S. Baring-Gould, Eden Phillpotts, Max Pemberton,_Ha,Uiwell Sutcliffe, F M. White, and other famour writers, with drawings and illustrations, grave and gay, by H. M. Brock, C. Napier Hemy, Claude Shepperson, Reginald Cleaver, John Hassall, John H. F. Bacon, Frank Dodd, John da Costa, C. E. Brock, Lawson Wood and others. From the Offices of the Leisure Hour we have received the November issue of the Gii-Isl Own Paper which is an exceptionally interesting number. A series of articles under the caption of "All About Country Cottages" is particularly interesting. Wa have also received, from the same publishers, the Christmas Number of the Girls' Own, with which is given a ,special coloured plate entitled "Glorious June," from the painting by Mary liarninge, and as a tnusicai supplement -Charles Gounod's Nazareth," which is now copyright; and we are sure the Editor voices the views of his readers when he says, they will feel grateful to him for placing it before them iu a convenient form. The December Number of the Boys' Own Taper which comes from the famous Bouverie-street firm, fully maintains tile reputation of this high-class periodical, and the Christmas Number is an exceptionally good one, several special presentation plates, beautifully printed in colours, accompanying it. Other publications to hand from the Religious Tract Society are Friendly Greetings, Cottager and Artisan and the Child's Companion, all of which are fully up to the high level of excellence previously attained.
