The priests secured the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, but that was not the last of Him, was it? Death is often only the beginning of a person s in- fluence in the world. "T. R." If you do not want my help you can go your own way without it. I have something else to do than to worry about passing spasms. "A BOY."—It is not easv to give wise counsel. Every position is capable of wise use. It is better to do good service where you are than to seek greater opportunities. I have spent my life in trying to make this paper. I might have vainly spent it in try- ing to get to be the editor of the Times." "ALISN."—Do you not forget that the sympathy which you long for and the recognition which you desire might be given by you to others. Why should you be the only person to re- ceive? Suppose you yourself began to lessen the world's indifference and ingratitude by thoughtful considera- tion for other people. "ONE OF THEM."—I do not believe in people's ignorance or cruelty nor in anybody's power to deceive them. The subject is complicated. "GARTREF."—'You do not need to have fifty thousand million bushels of oats in order to secure the thing called oats. A single grain is enough. The same is true of man and of many other things.. One dewdrop is as completely the thing oalled water as the whole Atlantic and Pacific oceans. MY rHIEF AMBITION. To be content. TOO MUCH While a man was working at a saw mill at 'Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he dis- covered the petrified head of a human being embedded in an oak log. Of course, the man stood there until the oak tree grew all round his head. Anybody can believe" a simple story of this kind. You could do it yourself TillE SHAME ANT) THE GLORY OF IT. A woman was alleged to have been ser- iously injured by a brute of a son who was charged with the offence before the magis- trates. She refused to give evidence against him and in the end he was dis- charged. The woman had been suffering from a broken rib and other injuries which ake said at the time had been caused by her son kicking her. 0, the shame of it. 0, the glory of it. He was not worthy, but that does not matter. THE HE AS ON FOR IT. Major Seely in a recent speech in the House of Commons said that married men were, on the whole, more courage- ous ii- the South African War than un- married men." This statement created roars of laughter in the House, but I do not see anything to laugh at. Just think of the married man who is forced to face his wife after publio- house closing hours. Is he likely after- wards to run away from a mere phalanx of bayonets? I say, certainly not. Then think of his courage in standing his ground when ne hands over to her half his wages, having lost the other half in betting, and she says: "Is this all 2" I agree with Major Seely. Besides, it is an unfailing sign of courage in thee days that men dare to get married. LIFE'S TRAGEDIES. The tragedies in modern daily life Are not. lesJ sad than those in ancient times, But ancient tragedy is framed in verse Whilst that of our own day remains un- sung And comes to us with detail commonplace Without the edg63 smoothed by lapse of tjme. Love, hate, and jealousy, revenge and spite Are not less active now than in the past. And all that happened in remotest days Repeats itself, for men remain unchanged And that which moved them in the day of old Still moves them and will move them to the end. Untimely death, misfortune, accident— The acts of angry gods as then was thought— Lay wait for men and spill their cups of joy And bring their cherished plans and hopes to naught. Thousands of years ago men strove and failed. Or ki sed dead lips tnat could not kiss again, Or watched the light fade out of shining eyej, Or stood appalled in stillness none may break. They stifled grief and mutely bore their loss As we are mutely still and hide our grief Amid the chaffer of the market place Lest men should mock and say that we are weak. Through all the ages tragedy has been, For it is part of man's inheritance, And nothing he may think, or say, or do Can hindei ec tasy or agony, Or block the way that dire disaster treads, Or hinder fate from working out its will. The unknown men who throng the city streets Are all familiar with tragedy As great as ever ancient poets sung. For life and love and death remain un- changed. Thus so it is with you and me, God knows: And we before our fate are dumb as death! SILENCE. Silence may mean much more than speech And be far better understood Silence knows more than words can teach Of true and false and bad and good. ST. DA V ID'S DAY. I was waiting at my bit of a place on the coast in dubitating expectation for at least two pressing invitations to St. David's Day banquets. Neither of them came. This was hard upon me, as I had prepared a most excellent speech, but I am accustomed to these omissions and was not, therefore, as grieved as might have been expected by tho. e who did not know all the circumstances of the past forty or fifty years. I kept on polishing my speech and adding fresh points to it in the hope that at the very fast moment the pressing invitations would arrive, and I tried to decide which of them I would decline, but neither of them came and when I expected to have been listening to the enthusiastic applause which I anticipated would greet my speech, I was in bed asleep—or, was I a seer of visions, a dreamer of dreams. My friends must judge. I was back in the very early sixties. Men were building what is now the Uni- versity College of Wales. There were no railways to Aberystwyth, but they were being made. Wales was asleep, but was on the point of awakening and was very restless. Liberalism was not much in evidence, and when anybody spoke at pub- lic meetings they always referred to "poor Wales," "conquered Wales," "op- pressed Wales." Nonconformity was as strong then as it is now and perhaps, more genuine, but those connected with it were outside the national life—unless they were the national life. Local life, except in chapels, practically did not exist. What Welsh national life there was found its timid expression mainly in London, and, in lesser degrees, in Man- chester and Liverpool. Cardiff had not got a daily paper in those daJs and no more thought of setting up to be the capital of Wales than it thought of trying to force children to learn the Welsh language. Even the Cymmrodorion medal had not been struck, and nobody any more imagined the pos- sibility of a Welsh Liberal member being a Cabinet Minister than that it was pos- sible for all the members of Parliament for Wales to be Liberals. Gohebydd"—-everybody knew the little man. He was making a. speeah. "Gohebydd" was not a parochial national- ist. Parochial nationalists had not been invented when "Gohebydd was in the habit making speeches interspersed with coughs. He was the ubiquitous local correspondent in London for the "Baner," and he knew all there was to know about Wales—in London. He made his speech, but I am not going "to try to give it. He was everybody's favourite. He and Thomas Gee of Denbigh, the owner of the "Baner," were the two best-known public men in Wales. Wales has never yet done the right thing by Thomas Gee, who was a pioneer and a fighter and a brave, true man who went his own fearless way and did much to make possible in Wales the development of the past forty years. I saw a great procession of preachers, poets, musicians. Mynyddog, Ceiriog Hughes, and scores of others. There was Brinley Richards and many another almost forgotten composer. Ah, how they felt the loneliness and isolation of their native land, and were saddened by thoughts of the glory that had been in the days of old. They wore conscious of the new dawn. but the full noon was never theirs. There marched past me the nation makers—-strong men who did not know how great a work they were accomplish- ing. There was Mr Osborne Morgan, Mr David Davies, Llandinam, a many-sided strong man who did so much for Wales in many ways; Mr. Hugh Owen, after- wards Sir Hugh Mr J. F. Roberts, Man- chester, a true, gentle, upright man; Mr Stephen "E-van8, the hope of migratory youth who went to London Mr E. M. Richards, Mr Humphreys Cwen Stuart Rendel (now Lord Rendel) who gave co- herence to the growing Welsh national life and was the fink between the old Welsh liSe and the new and who has done far more for Wales than the parochial patriots know or could comprehend. How he stood aside when the time came, but he still serves. There are many others —journalists, landowners, ministers of religion—an undistinguished crowd among whom I also am to be counted. How few are left, but the national life goes on and will go on. Even the parochial patriot cannot hinder the march d progress, and the selfish struggle of the bastard nationalist is in vain. I do not know how it was, but I was speaking to a vast crowd of people and said strong words to them. I asked them to have faith in themselves and told them that they would even survive the com- pulsory teaching of Welsh, the foolishness of the Welsh Church Commission, the self-seeking of place hunters and honour grabbers, and the petty side of narrow- minded rivals. "Wales a nation." That is the great thing—not a clique—not North or South, not Conformist or Non- conformist, not thine or mine, not Liberal or Conservative, not rich or poor, but "Wales a nation." Then the whole people sang the national anthem, "Hen wlad fy nhadau over and over again, and I saw quite clearly Wales as it was in 1863 and as it is now in 1907. The life is not abated, the ideals are not lowered, the great principles are not debased, and if the young Welsh whelps hark loudly and cut queer caoers sometimes, the old dogs are still on the watch—notwithstanding many vacancies-and when it comes to the grip there will be no lack of force. I wonder what really became of those invitations which as a Welsh Nationalist I never received. More Post Office irregu-> laiities I suppose. If Mr. Lloyd-George were Postmaster General I would try and get him to look into this sort of thing. It is intolerable. My great speech has been practically lost. The Coast. J.G.
ABERYSTWYTH
ABERYSTWYTH Charge against a Gipsy.—-On Wednes- day before the Mayor, Sampson Boswe.l, a gipsy, was on the charge of P.C. Thos. Davies, fined 2s 6d for drunkenness on the 5th. Personal.—Mr A. J.

The Coliseum.—On Monday evening, Campbell-Henry and his company opened a three nights' engagement at the Coliseum for the performance of The Trail of the Serpent." The play was of a thrilling character, with humorous incidents, and novel scenes were intro- duced, including representations of a fiery furnace and a dynamite explosion. Miss Nana Cameron, as" Rachel, the Gipsy," showed histrionic ability, but her voice, like the plot, was occasionally carried a little too far.

He found every- thing in goad order and was pleased with his visit. Mr Samuel was comparing Welsh with Latin lessons in a happy way1-—The Headmaster and Clerk were asked to make an effort to collect arrears in order to complete the balance sheet. —The Chairman explained that good pro. gress was made with the new buildings and when the fittings were completed, they wou'd have a first-class laboratory. At the next meeting they would consider the desirability of having a public open- ing. The Contractor had been paid £500 on account.—The Clerk said he understood that the County Council had passed a re- solution making the oost a charge upon the whole district so that it would not fall entirely on the school income.

The soloists taking the principal parts are Miss Meredith, who is a niece of Dr. Emrys Jones, Manchester, and Mr John Bardsley of the Queen's Hall and Crystal Palace concerts. The two are vocalists of great promise. The or- chestra, consisting of twenty-eight mem- bers, will be conducted 'by Professor Hulley of Swansea. The programme also includes an attractive miscellaneous part. As will be seen in the advertisement, the plan of the hall will be ready on Monday next and seats may be reserved at Messrs Wheatley and Sons, Terrace-road. This is the twenty-third annual performance of the College Choral Society.

The meeting closed with the usual votes of thanks. Illustrated Lecture.—"Tanycae, its ships and shipbuilding trade of the past" was the subject of an interesting illus- trated lecture given at Tanycae School- room on Friday by Mr D. J. Lewis. The chairman was Captain John Thomas of the "Morning Star." There was a good attendance and the views as well as the description given were much appreciated. The lecturer commenced by giving a short history of the harbour, naming the har- bour masters from 1870 and showing views of the harbour before the stone pier was built, as well as views of more recent date, one of which showed the former shipbuilding sites occupied by a railway track. Photos of old shipbuilders were also shown as well as several ships built and in course of building. A photo was al,so shown and the history given of Mr James Williams, brother of the late Mr Thomas Williams, chemist, and the Rev J. Williams who was killed by a shot from a French man-of-war, wboge body, three' months after being: buried in France, was by order of the French Government ex- humed and brought to Aberystwyth by a French ship and buried in St. Michael's Churchyard.. The Welsh captain of the ship would not dip his flag in salute of the French warship and the warship first fired a blank and then a shot which killed' young Williams. The lecturer also made a comparison between the shipping trade of Aberystwyth and of Cardiff and other large ports in Wales showing that while Cardiff had eighty-nine ships, represent- ing 17,556 tons, Aberystwyth had 393 ships representing 34,944 tons. Cardiff at that time had four steamers representing 269 tons, and Aberystwyth four steamers re- presenting 346 tons. Aberystwyth in 1837 stood third port in Wales in import- ance. The advent of railways and the falling off of the mining indtiBtry militated against Aberystwyth, while the opening up of coal mines favoured Cardiff. Dur- ing an interval. Mr. James Evans, super- intendent of Tanycae Sunday School, gave interesting account of the Sunday School from the commencement on the baulks on Ro-fawr. The school was afterward removed to several temporary sites until the present school was built. While Mr Lewis was describing the timber traetel and vessels employed in it. photos of the late Mr Thomas Jones and of Messrs Thomas and Roberts, who were the large shipowners and timber merchants at the time, were shown. Songs were given by Miss Maudie Jones and Mis; Annie Jones and Miss Lizzie Williams sang a hymn to the tune of "Seaman's Delight" which was thrown on the screen in footh nota- tions. The tune was composed by an old master mariner of Borth who at one time had been very popular as an instructor of musio in the district during his winter months at home. Mr J. Laird worked the lantern. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman for his able service and the meeting closed with the singing of a hymn. Good Templars.—An enthusiastic meet- ing was held at the New Market Hall on Tuesday evening when a united session of good templar lodges of the town was held under the auspices of the Aberystwyth Excelsior Lodge. Both the Ystwyth and Padarn Fawr lodges attended in large numbers in response to the invitations of the Excelsior Lodge. The session was opened by Bro. Fearnsides. C.T.. and after the opening ceremonies had been gone through Bro. Fox was restored to membership in the Order and Mrs C'or- field was initiated. One of the mem- bers, Bro. Alcroft, it was stated was lying ill at the Infirmary, and Sisters Mrs Frost volunteered to visit him on behalf of the Lodge and tender sympathy. It was also stated that Bro. Wells had re- turned to his home in London. Bro. Wells has been an ardent worker and his absence will be keenly felt by all. Var- ious suggestions were made for the ad- vancement of temperance work and were freely discussed. iBro. John Evans sug- j gested that a committee should be formed to discuss ways and means of furthering the interests of the Order and, if possible, to establish a temperance hall. Bro. Evans put the suggestion in the form of a proposition and committee consisting of seven members was appointed to work in conjunction with the committee already working under the auspices of the Y sf- wyth Lodge. Sister Frost suggested that a temperance tent should be erected on the ground at the agricultural show. Bro. Jenkins. C.T. of the Ystwyth Lodge. Bro. Fearnsides, and Sister Mrs. Rees spoke in favour of the suggestion and it was eventually re olved that the aid of the FTC" Church Council should be sought in that direction. Bro. Leyshon moved and Bro. Rees seconded that the heartiest thanks of the Aberystwyth Excelsior Lodge be tendered to the visiting mem- bers for the sympathy they showed by responding to the invitation. The motion was carried unanimously and the meeting closed with prayer, Wfclsh Amateur Cup.-The replayed I cup-tie between Portmadoc and Aberyst- wyth will take place on the Vicarage Field on Saturday next. Mr J. Roberts, Ban- gor, will referee, and the kick-off is at 2-30 prompt. Great interest is taken in the contest which promises to be an ex- citing one, as both sides have been stren- thened since their last meeting. If the Town wins, they have been drawn to play Holyhead Swifts at Bangor in the semi- final which will take place on March 16th. The Coliseum.—A musical treat will be afforded the inhabitants of Aberystwyth by the visit of Mr Johnston's grand opera party on Monday and Tuesday next. The operas selected are "Maritana" and "Faust." The artistes have been chosen with the greatest possible care and are the possessors of beautiful and well-trained voices. The Company is replete in every particular,carrying their own special scen- ery and orchestra. Plan and tickets may be seen at the Coliseum Office. Sturdy Nonconformity.—Mr E. N. Ben- nett, M.P. for the Woodstock division of Oxfordshire, speaking at Coiwyn Bay on the eve of the County Council elections, said that as a Churchman and brother-in- law of the last Tory M.P. for Cardigan- shire (Mr Lloyd, Coedmore), he rejoiced in the sturdy Nonconformity of Wales. He was convinced that the arguments in favour of disestablishment were stronger than ever. P.S.N.-On Saturday evening at the Coliseum, a miscellaneous series of local views, photographed by the Rev Mr Evans, Craigydon, proved an interesting feature of a popular entertainment. The views were described by Mr Barciay Jen- kins. Songs were given by Miss Pollie Jones and Miss Lizzie Owen. The re- sults of the County Council elections in the town were flashed on the screen im- mediately after declaration of the poll. There were over five hundred people pre- sent. Workhouse Fire.—On Saturday after- noon after the audit of the Union ac- counts had been closed for the day, the Master discovered a smell of ti.fiber on fire in the Board Room at the Workhouse and found that smoke issued from behind the fireplace. The chimney piece was taken down and the fire extinguished. Cob Improvement Society.—A meeting of farmers and breeders was convened at the Lion Hotel for Monday afternoon to consider what steps be taken in the dir- ection of improving the cobs o? the dis- triot and Sir Edward Pryse was an- nounced to preside. The meeting was convened by the Cob Improvement Society and all interested in horse-breeding mem- bers and non-members, were invited. Not one farmer attended, though it was fair day and there were hundreds in the town. Sir Edward Pryse was unable to attend owing to illness, but was repre- sented by Mr. George Pryse. The only others present were Mr D. D. Williams and Mr. Rulus Williams and after wait- ing half an hour for others to attend t.he meeting was abandoned. Sir Edward Pryse wrote suggesting prizes totalling JB25 offered for roadster over 15.2; cob 14.2 and under 15.2, cob over 13.2 and under 14.2, ponv under 13.2, and cart horse. Mr Lewis Pryse, who was unable to attend the meeting owing to an accident, wrote that he did not believe in the hackney stallion which was the only sort of stallion the Cob improvement Society has im- ported into the country. He hoped the Society would not go out of existence. There was no doubt that whether the Society gave a prize for a stallion or not, there were sure to be one or two good hackney stallions travelling the county, so would it not be better for the Society to try and get in some other breed of stallion to improve the cobs? He did not think it possible to improve the cobs without at all events an oceasional cross of thoroughbred blood and the history of Cardiganshire cobs bore him out in that. Therefore, would it not be better now to try a thoroughbred stallion. A Local Authoress.—Messrs William Blackwood and Son3, Edinburgh and London, haa published at 6s a novel 'o.\Y Mrs Jessie Ainsworth Davis. The title is When Half-Gods Go" taken from some lines by Emerson- Though thou loved her as thyself, As a self of purer clay.

Campbell. In the course of an inter- esting and instructive address Mrs Pugh Evans dwelt on the destructive work of drink and impressed on the members the duties of abstinence. At the close of the meeting, the Chairman called upon Mr Panchen to propose a vote of thanks to Mrs Pugh Evans which was seconded by Mr Clements, the secretary, and agreed to with cheers.

Watkins, and John Gibson, Esqrs. Merry over the Ejection.—Richard Jones, foundryman, Trefechan, was sum- moned for-having been drunk and disor- derly in Mill-street on the 2nd March.- P.C. Morris said the defendant was drunk in Mill-street and wanting to fight. He persuaded him to go away, ,and he did so, but a few minutes afterward he was in George-street in a fighting attitude. On being told that he would be locked up if he did not go home, he went home.— Defendant said he was a bit merry and excited over the e'ection and had been joining in a little argument. That was his first appearance and if the Bench let him off they would never see his face again.—The Bench fined him 2s 6d with costs. Settled.—Wm. Charles Jones. Ship- wright Arms, was summoned by Jaojk Flood, hairdresser, Terrace-road, for hav- ing assaulted him on the 28th February and with having used threatening langu- age.Afr Ivor Evans and Mr Samuel ap- peared for the parties and Mr (Evans said the parties had met that morning and, subject to the Bench's permission, had come to an arrangement.—The Bench a!- lowed the case to be withdrawn. Threatening Language. Margaret Davies, labourer's wife, Fountain-court, was summoned by Annie Rice, wife of the man employed by the Corporation to attend to the town refuse heap, 20, Greenfield-street, for having used threat- ening language.-Compiainant said on Thursday evening the defendant came to Greenfield-street with her husband and used threatening language towards her. She could not get quiet on the streets. Defendant called her ail manner of names, threatened her, and said her husband and children were thieves. All she wanted was quietness. —John Rice, com- plainant's husband, giving evidence, said he was in chapel on Thursday evening and on going home heard the defendant abuse his woman. He had been annoyed by the defendant for two years. He told defendant's husband to take her away, but she would not go until he (witness) persuaded her husband to go and then she followed.Tlie Acting Clerk (Mr. Daniel Jones): Did you hear her use threatening language?—Witness: She I said my woman was a drunkard.—The Clerk: Did you hear her use threatening language?—Witness: She said my woman was an old drunkard.—The Clerk: Did you hear her use threatening language? —Witness: She said he would stab her old eyes out.—The Clerk: That is better. —-Defendant, in reply to the charge, said she went to the town manure tip to collect a few cinders to put on the fire. An- other woman was also there and some men sitting on the railings said that John Rice (who has orders to stop women col- lecting from the town manure heap) was coming. Rice told her that her husband was too lazy to work and that he was stealing from the steamer rolls of cheese and pounds of tea and sugar. In the evening she and her husband went to Greenfield-street to see about it when Rice swore black and blue that he had not made the statement. Annie Rice told her husband to go for the police and called her a drunken slut. She defendant had not made use of threatening langu- age.-The Bench, after consultation in private, bound defendant over in the sum of B5 to keep: the peace for six months.— Mr Gibson told the defendant that it did not matter however wicked and illegal she thought her neighbours were, she had nothing to do with it and had better stop in her own house and mind her own busi- ness.-Defeneant, after having been bound over, said she would take out a summons for next week against the complainant. GOGERDDAN FOXHOUNDS. Tuesday in last week was a red-letter day with the pack. The fixture was at Piccadilly. The first cover drawn, the Laurels, proved blank. On arriving at the Warren Hill music was soon heard. The pack went away with a scream, driv- ing their fox past the back of Nantecs into the garden cover. Through this, up the Hendre to Cefnllech, to the top of Brenan, thenoe on leaving Penuwch slightly to the left crossed the Lanfiivingel road, going over to Penrhiw Sarnau into AUtcoch woodlands. Through it like a shot up to Ffoslas, over the hill to Allt- fedw and Waunfeddau, then through Abertrinant gorse over to Llanerchpentre and into Gilwern. He soon quitted and made for Gwmnewiddion where he was driven up and down a short time before being sent out and driven across the road leading to Frongoch and into Felin Cwm Bar. He then made a straight line to Talfan where they had their first check. The quarrv was viewed in Crosswood Park. Efounds were soon on the line carrying it on to a plough close to the Home Farm and then lost at the end of about an hour and a half. The fox led is pursuers a good twelve miles straight from the Warren Hill to Cwmnewiddion and from there to where lost another good three miles. Hounds ran from the find to Talfan without a check.

I MACHYNLLETH
MACHYNLLETH Liberal Association.—A meeting of the Liberal Association was held at Graig Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, presided over by Mr. T. R. Morgan. 'ine r-li-pose or the meeting was mainly to select can- didates for the Urban Council election. The Chairman pointed out that there were two members in the south ward, two in the north ward, and one in the west ward. The advisability of contesting the several seats or not was considered, the Chairman and others being favour- able to a compromise in order to avoid further expense and possibly ill-feeli::g. It was ultimately decided that Mr J. M. Breeze, the retiring member, be allowed to stand for the west ward; Lord Herbert Vane Tempest and Mr Thomas Parsons south ward- and Dr Williams and Mr. John Evans, Maengwyn Stores, north ward, provided no other candidate bo brought into the field by the Conservative party. Other important matters were under consideration such as the selection of the members from this district on the Education Committee in the County Council. The question of aldermen for the district was considered, but deferred for the present. Great interest was taken in the meeting, which was largely at, tended, by the leading members of the Liberal party. A<|cident.—On Tuesday, Miss Edjith Davies, daughter of Mrs Davies, Maen- gwyn Laundry, met with a serious acci- dent. Whilst lighting the fire she un- fortunately used paraffin which caused a blaze and her head and face were terribly burnt. Miss Davies is getting on as well as can be expected. She is a ravourte in town and a popular vocalist, assisting in every good cause when called upon. Capture.—On Friday the police received information from Merionethshire of a bicycle theft from Arthog. Sergeant Owen and P.C. Williams were soon at work and J. O. Williams, of Llwyngwril was arrested later in the evening in a lodging house by P.O. Williams. Prisoner and "bike" were handed over to the Merionethshire police. County Council Election ^—-Not for many years had such interest been taken. Both candidates called upon every elector who could possibly record his vote. The poll was a heavy one—444. The counting of the votes took place at the Council School and the result was declared by Mr. D. Evans, deputy returning officer, as follows :—Mr Richard Rees, 244; Lord Herbert Lionel Vane Tempest, 200. The election was fought on principle alone. As to his lordship's popularity in the town independently of politics there is no question. He is esteemed by all. He took his defeat as one would expect a nobleman should.

L -N, B 'k D A li, N C.E.T.S.—An entertainment in con- nection with the Church of England Temperance Society was held at Penyfron Schoolroom on Friday evening when the room was filled with an appreciative audi- ence. The chair was taken by the Rev J. E. Lloyd, B.D., St. Michael's, Abcr- ystwyth, who made an admirable chair- man. He delivered an instructive ad- dress on temperance. The programme, arranged by Miss Thomas, St. George's- terrace, and Miss Pattie Roberts, Cae'r- gog-terraoe, assisted by Misses Lizzie Evans and Amney Clark, was as follows: —Prayer by the Rev. D. D.

Kilvington; prayers and hymn No. 16. Before the final prayers, the Rev. N. Thomas proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman for so ably presiding, to the ladies for arranging so excellent a programme and also to Mr Kilvington tor his kind help. The proposition was carried unanimously, accompanied by three hearty cheers. The Rev. J. E. Lloyd thanked the Vicar on behalf of the ladies and himself for his kind words. The dialogue, "The wasp and the bee," by M iss Pollie Lewis and Master Neville Kilvington was well worthy of an encore and great credit is due to them for the excellent way they went through their parts, and also to the one who had taught them. A word of praise is also due to the children of the Band of Hope who did their various parts exceedingly well. They reflect great credit on those who have taken the responsibility of training them during the winter months. The aocom- panists for the evening were Miss Thomas and Mrs Thomas, Pwllhobi, who dis- charged their duties in their usual able manner.

I' THE BUTTERMKEJETS OHJhTUMTY Nowhere in the wide world can butter o? more pertect flavour be produced than in the old country. What, then, is it that gives our rivals the preference and the pre-eminence in the English market P It is the uniformity of the product. The quality may be all right, the milk un- tainted, and the manufacture perfect, but that is not all. It is of no use sending out the produce of the dairy at one timo with a rich June tint and at another with a colour resembling lard. In the use of colouring matter many people make mis- takes—they use harintful aniline com- pound. Again, a crude product often results in uneven or muddy" colouring ing and the appearance of the butter is com- pletely spoiled. On the other hand, there are certain preparations, tasteless in them, selves, which have the effect of throwing up, as it were, the flavour 6-11 the butter. Those who have tried the article known under the name ef the "Silver Churn" butter colouring have found it to answer this requirement in an unusual degree, and being of an exceptional purity, it goes much farther than similar preparations and, moreover, have the advantage of not oolouring the butter milk. The "Silver Churn" brand te the product of an old es- tablished firm, Oldfield Pattison and Co., of New Bridge Street, Manchester, and may be obtained either from direct or through the leading chemists and dealers in dairy supplies k-t 6d., 1s., 5s., 8s.. and 14g. per bottle.—Advt. j660
LLANDYSSULt;
LLANDYSSUL t; WORRY AND DEPRESSION. On Thursday evenidg gloom was cast over Liandyssnl by the news that the Rev Hugh Rowlands, Wesleyan minister, had attempted to commit suicide. Mr Rowlands hadresided at Liftndyssul for about six months and was a pop ilar and promising preacher. On Tuesday, before A H Jonpg, Esq., and Capt. Lewes, he was brought up charged by D C C Wi -li&tns "that he unlawfully did stab, cut, and wound himself with a certain razor with intent to kill and murder h;mself." Thomas Davies, spinner, Glen View, stated that defendant lodged with him. He was down late on Wt-dnesday evening, and about two o'clock on Thursday morning he heard someone walking in accused's bedroom. De- fendant had been suffering from a cold and when witness went upstairs he asked defendant if he was worse. No reply being given, wit- ness opened the door and saw defendant standing near it. He had blood on his hands and face. and made a remark, I have injured myself a little." Witness called and his wife went for help, and Dr Evans was soon in attendance. A blood-stained razor was found on the mantel- pit-ce in defendant's bedroom. Dr E R Evans said he found d-f-ndant sit- ting in his bedroom fully ctr:>rsed with a wound in his throat which was b eoding sllghtl. He had a wound on the right aide about three inches long and about an inch long on the left side. The wind-pipe or any important struc- ture was uninjured. In reply to the charge, defendant stated that he had nothing to say. For a long time he had been suffering from a disease which had affected his mind and had made him unable to study. The examination and other things were coming on and they worried him and caused bim to become depressed. He expressed regret and added that he did not remember the most important part of the affiir-what he did him- seif.gg^ r. The Rev J E Roberts, superintendent Wes leyan minister fo. the Lampeter circuit, stated that for a fortnight before the occurrence, de- fendant had suffered from influenza and depres- sion. If the Bench would deal leniently with defendant, he (witness) would be pleased to take care of him. The Bench dismissed the case on the under- standing that Mr Roberta would take care of defendant.
