CUKlfWS THEOKr ABOUT E AR'J HQUAKE •>. "The cause of earthquakes is sin," said a famous preacher. How he reasoned 1t out is not easy for the average sinner to see. The suggestion that the destruction of Meesina and Reggio resulted from the violation of moral law, would be considered rank nonsense by modern scientists. Hannah More, the great authoress, came nearer the truth when she said "The cause of a deal of sin is bile." That bit of wisdom we can understand. Bile poisons the brain, and the brain is the organ of the mind and senses. All the earthquakes that ever shook this wicked world never did as much harm to human beings as is done every year by sleepy stomachs and lazy livers. Here is an example: "Before my arduous task was quite completed I began to suffer from biliousness and indigestion." The writer isfr James Seymour Morton, au author and editor living at 233, Lyming- ton Avenue, Lordship Lane, London, N. His "arduous task" was the correcting of proofs of a classical work, "about half of it in Greek." Writing further, he says: "My sight was affected and the lines of type seemed blurred and confused." After spending a month at a health resort in Yorkshire, he returned to London and resumed his labours. "But not for long." he says. "About six or eignt weeks after- wards I broke down again, the biliousness and indigestion being as eevere as ever." Just then a friend advised him to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, which he did. "Be- fore I had taken half of the second bottle," he writes, "the pain after eating became less severe. By the time I had taken eight small bottles, my ailments had completely left me Indigestion is now no more to me than a painful memory." There is no ma.gic about the cure of Mr Morton. Mother Seigel's Syrup cleanses I and invigorates stomach, liver and bowels. That is the secret of its success in curing biliousness and indigestion. Take it daily after meals. The 2s. 6d., bottle contains three times as much as the Is. ld., size. j

Judging from the correspondence between I the Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey and ?Jr T. R. Evans, clerk to the Holyhead Counci', it would appear that there is to be an in- crease in the magistracy at Holyhead. It is well known that the J.P.-ship is the sum- mit of the ambition of many of our local public men, and the scarcity of magistrates in Holyhead has unade the position all the more coveted. Who is to be the new magis- trate is not known at present, at least not to the outside public, but with so many aspirants possessing high qualifications there should be no difficulty in selecting an ex- cellent man. Perhaps it is too much to ex- pect that he shoulcf be a Liberal.

HOLYHcAO URBAN COUNCIL This Council met-' on Tuesday, Mr T. Slater, J. P., presiding. Mr Gordon Roberts submitted the report of the Finance Committee. The amount passed for payment was £487. The sum cli £343 general rate, wa- collected during !ne month private improvements £32 5s lOd; Town Hall, £3 2s. BOUNDARY EXTENSION. The question of .extending the boundaries of the town was introduced by Mr Hum- phries. He stated that the inhabitants of the rural part of the parish were deriving benefit for "which they did not pay, and that something should be done to enlarge tho boundaries. rho matter was left to a committee, and tho Surveyor was asked to convene a meet- ing. OVERHANGING TREES. A letter had been received from Mr 0. E. Moreton Prichard complaining that trees overhanging Plashyfryd Terrace darkened the houses° of his tenants. He asked the Council to have the trees lopped. The General Purposes Committee were of opinion that they ouM not be lopped, the Clerk stating that as they were ornamental they could not be interfered with. Some of the members contended that thoy were a nuisance, and, that as those in Ed- mund Street had been lopped there was no reason why this should not be done in this I case. After considerable discussion tho matter was left in the hands of the Surveyor for investigation. ELECTRIC LIGHTING. The Engineer's quarterly report was be- foro the Council. Mr Humphries wished to know if the in- creased current sold (.14 per cent) was on public or private lighting. Mr P. VViliams replied that it was on private consumption. Mr J. T. Griffith then read an elaborate statement dealing with electric lighting in various parhs of the country, and said it was difficult to understand why the Holyhead concern was a financial failure. He thought it '.would be wise to have an expert to ocii.uit with Mr Philip Williams. Mr Humphries said that the Engineer should have more power in his own hands, and more independent freedom of action. If the electrio light aS Holyhead was ever to succeed this must be done. At present the Engineer was hampered by committees, and was a mere puppet. It would be bet- ter if Mr Williams had full control of the concern, and was held responsible tor its paying. The Chairman explained that the question of it not paying was quite another matter to ordinary trading concerns. The ques- tion of repayment of capital, etc., had to be considered. Mr W. D. Jones advocated that the ques- tion be debated in committee, as it was an important one. Mr Lansbury said every attempt had been made to "cut the throat" of the electric light. The Council had decided to cut off the light for six weeks. Iti would be better for them to pay for the luxury of electric light during the summer months, and thus beai4 the burden along with the private consumers. Mr Josiah Griffith said it was a loss to the town as at present carried on. They were not paying sufficient for the light used in the public streets. They had discussed the doing away of the arc lamps and the sub- stitution of ordinary ones, which would be an immense saving in public consumption. The matter was referred to committee. ABSENTEE MEME'ER. The Clerk read a fetter which he had writ- ten to Mr Robert Roberts, who was a mem- ber of the Council, pointing out that he had not attended the Council meetings since July last, and that after six months' non- attendance his seat became vacant. Mr Robert Rooerts (who was present) said he had not had the letter, as he had come straight 'the country to the Council. He appealed to Dr Clay to sup- port his statement, that he had been ill, which the doctor confirmed. The Chairman welcomed the explanation, and the matter dropped. OILSKINS. Mr Tom Johnson said that as he was passing along the s'treet that morning he observed one of the Council's men working in a heavy downpour of rain, and that he was wet through to the skin. He thought it was the duty of the Council to provide their mien with oilskins. Had these ever been provided? The Surveyor said that the matter had been considered by the committee, of which Mr Johnson was chairman, and it was left in abeyanco (laughter). Mr Johnson said it was tho duty of the Council to supply oilskins. THE TOWN'S CHARMS. Mr R. J. Jones, who had attended a con- ference convened by Mr Warner, L. mid N.-W. Distract Traffic Supt., for the pur- pose of considering the advertising more widely of North Wales resorts, said that the recommendation was that a view of the dis- trict be painted 12ft. 6in. by 18ft. The oost would be from £18 to J340, according to the nature of the work. The Clerk said they had no power to spend money in advertising the town. It was pointed out that a bill was before Par- liament to permit of money being spent from the rates on advertising. Mr Gordon Roberts said that they ought to start collecting' the amount required. Everyone in the room would give at least a guinea. It was no use grumbling unless they did something themselves, and nothing would ever be done unless they bestirred themselves. MOTOR SPEEDS. Several speakers, including Capt. Roberts, spoke of the nuisance by excessive speed of motor cars, and the Chairman, Vice-Chair- man, and Mr Humphries were appointed to meet a sub-committee of the County Coun- cil on the matter.

COWL YD WATER BOARD. Mr. Joseph D'cken, J.P., presided over a meeting 01 the Cowled Water Board on Thursday afternoon. The average daily quantity of water re. gistered during the month of Marca. in 1U8-9 was 858, iOO gaillbns, and 819 o'JO gal Ions in 1908. The Engineer reported that since tne ?-4th of Marth-—the date upon which the ww 15 inch man was formalLy opened—'the pressure had been gradually put on to the district. The consumption had increased considerably, and the pressure on the 12 inch and 103 moh mains so wed an increase of 801bs in the day. t'tme at Sarn Mynaeh. The two. mains pro- jvide an ampie supply of water for the joint d's j trict with suffic ent need at Sarn Mynaeh for I' double the present estimated summer popu- lation, and he (the engineer) drew the atten. t-ion of the various, authorities to the abso- lute necessity of providing service reservoirs of sufficient capacity with efficient dUstribu. t'ing mains in order to utilise the supply to the best advantage, and to secure a constant servi ce of water to all part of the district. Mr Farraigton also poitntOO, cut the need of a oons-tantsysltem of inspection for the pur- pose of detecting and preveDlt, ng waste. Dr. R. A.. Pritchard observed tha.t it .was the duty of the respective distri cts to pro- expert's advise. The Engineer aaid that they should be constructed at the proper llilght and under proper expert's adviise. On the motion of Dr. Pritdhard, seconded by the Chairman, and supported1 by Mr Hugh Owen,, Landudno Junction, it was decided to 'vote an honorarium of £50 to Mr T. E. Parry (the c1,erk) for the extra ser- vices he rendered in connection wAh the pro- motion of the recent Parliamentary Bill ob- tained by the Board.

MISUSE OF A TOURIST TICKET i AVIHITEmAlVBN 'MAN BINED AT COLWYN BAY. ¡ At the Colwyn Bay Police Court cu Saturday James Dickenson, commercial tra- veller, of })¿m.ingi_1am, YY'nitekaven, was summoned for having travelled on the Lou- don and North-i Western Railway Ibetwwn Alergeie and Old Colwyn without payjii*' the fare, and with intent to avoid such pay- ment. (Mr iHai'od R. H'll-dlèstOl1, of Fus- ion, London, appeared for the RaiUvay Com- pany to prosseculte, and Mr E. A. Crabbe said Ihe was instructed by a eolicitou.* at Whitehaven to appear for the defendant and to plead guilty. Mr Hudleston stated ¡¡hat on lebruary 12 the defenda-ntt was seen in the train at Rhyl by a ticket examiner, to whom he exhibited a ticket to Abergele. At Abergele the ex- aminer, who had travelled by the train, notioed tfhat the defendant alighted, end then re-entered the train, proceeding on to Colwyn Bay. At the Colwyn Bay eTcit he presented a tourist ticket Ifrom Prestooi to Greenoie wihiich on the previous day had been used for the journey fro.n Abergele to Old Colwyn. Tt was therefore uked a second time for that distance. ;Mr Crabbe said he was instructed that hiB client, who was a man of position, would not intentionally have defrauded the Rail- way Company of the threepence or four- pence which was the amount of the tfare involved, but he had! a tourist ticket ex- tending over (the whole line, and it was often difficult to fit in appointments with customers and so forth, and on this occa- sion he (had to golirom Rhyl' to Abergele, having previously used his tourist tieket be- tween that place and Old Colwyn. At Abergele he changed his. mind and decided to go on to Colwyn Bay, where he unfor- tunately neglected to tell the collector what he had done. The Chairman (Mr T. G. Oeborn) We have had several of these cases lately, and these inadvertences on the part of gentle- men who a.re always travelling and ought I to 'know what they are doing are becoming rather too prominent, and we shall fine the to 'know what they are doing are becoming rather too prominent, and we shall fine the defendant %0s and costs. A half-guinea advocate'is fee was allowed.

RHOSNEiGB WATER SUPPLY IMPORTANT DETAILS. A .short time ago a deputation of the Vat- ley Rural Council went up to London in response to a request from Mr John Burns, in order to discuss the question of the Rhos- neigr water supply and drainage. Last autumn an inquiry was held by Colonel Norton in regard to an application for per- mission to borrow £ 500 (for boring opera- tions with a view to finding a i^purce off sup- ply. At the last Valley Council, Jthe committee who at.tend.ed at the Local Go- vernment Beard, reportOO thaot Major Nor- ton expla;ined 'his view very fully. They were surprised to hear from him informa- tion with which he had been furnished, land which was not forthcoming at the inquiry He could not understand why the counsel i appeared at the inquiry, seeing that tlhere wac no legal difficulty. He assured tlhem that the Local Government Board would nob stand in the way of the borrowing if the Council wished to go on with it, but sug- gested that they should further consider it. IHe was surprised: that Mr Greenley, the geologist, who ought to have been the most importaia witness at the inquiry, was Titpresent to isupport the scheme of boring. The committee ajgreed that the greatest difficulty was the obtaining df sufficient money to carry out the whole scheme of water supply and sewerage. The estimated coot. of (the boring ;soheme -would be: 'Borehole, etc. £ 500 S'upply mains through Rliosneigr j3600 Water tower, etc. L700 Pumping machinery, land, etc.. ;C5W Total £ 2300 The income from water rentals would be about £ 200 per .annum. The cost of the sewerage scheme was estimated at £4684, making the total for the two schemes £6884. The borrowing powers of the Coun- cil for Llamfaeiog <1n the piesent assessable value amounted to L56,06, and the cost of the two schemes -would exceed this by £ 1284, and ith-e elcheme of a water supply from Traffwyll would ooSti P,2980, exclusive t.f tihe always recurring charge by the com- pany for water, which at Is 3d per 1000 gallons (the price asked), .would! amount to a capital value of £ 3734. By the adoption a capital value of L3734. By the adoption of this scheme the ibcarowing powers would be exceeded to the extent of .£1964. The report oortcluded with the .suggestion that the waiter supply might be provided by pri- vate enterprise, pointing out the desirability of tthe owners of Rhosneigr doing so, the i-e,port stating that they could do this 'by means 'of an order in Council. A company with a nominal capital of k-rvwl with 10B in tliep, ehaxes paid up, would be sufficient. The committteøthoUJght that victors might •\jish to join, and that in this way the diffi- culty Of providing itihe uezess;ary fund's for the carrying out of the Ierage scheme would .be met.. The Local Government Board were anxrfous to harve a full report Of all the springs in the neighbourhood, with the quantity in gallons per day which each of thiem yielded, and the committee sug- gested that the Council's surveyor might do this, and add his observations on any par- ticular pointte that nuight occur to him as to the possibility of pollutioin. The report has been referred to the Rhos- neiiTrWater IStupjply end Sewerage Com- mittee.

1910 NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD A general meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the National' Eisteddfod was held in the Council Chambers, Colwyn Bay, fast week. The chair was occupied by Mr J. Amphlett. The main competition in poetry will be an ode to the "Summer," for which th1 priae of an oak chair will be aw aided. This prize, it was announced, would be made in Colwyn Bay, a'nd' presented to the committee by Messrs Allen and Sons, to whom a special vote df thanks w'as .passed. The ceremony of proclaiming the Eistedd- fod will be held on Tuesday, September 7,th, next, at the Flagstaff Hill, and a concert will afterward take place in the Pier Pavilion. The estimated expenditure already ordered by the different committees is1 £ 1032, which is gligthtly than the average for the past five years. The literary section will cost JB267, the music.,9500, and the arts and science £165. The General Sieoretary stated that he issued a cireular last week appealing for gifts of prizes, and in response had already received promisee of special prizes* amount- ing to L68 9s, and, adding the value of the bardic chair and other promises previously received, that made a total off .£292 already secured. The highest amount ever raised was at Llangollen last year ( £ 442). With the co-operation of the committee, he hoped it would' be possible to exceed even the hardsome total of Li-angcilen. The Cha.irman said he thought they would) have no difficulty in breaking the record which. Llangollen now held, not that they envied it, of course, in any way. If'jome members of the committee to assist the .general secretary in approaching pro- spective donors were appointed. j

Mr Phillip Conway; (eldest son of Mr Ri- chard Conway), of Loiylon, spent the week- end at Lhndudno. (fT Conway has an ex- tensive practice as a solicitor in the Metro- polis, and is a member of one of the Metro- politan local authorities.

HOLYHEAD AND THE MAGISTRACY I INTERESTING LETTERS. At the Holyhead Council on Tuesday night, Mir T. Slater, J..P., presiding, the Clerk I-eadi correspoaidenoe which. he bad had Willi the Lord Lieutenarob of Anglesey (Sir (R H. Williams Bulkeley) and Air J. R. 1,4urie, (thje Lord :Lieu.'tJena.nti'sdel"k, in regard to the appointment of more magis- trates at Holyhead. The first letter written by .Mr Evamis stated that the Council wished him" to point out that itihere were practically only two magis- trates in Holyhead, viz., (Mr 11. Forcer Evans and Mr R. J. iEdwards. Admiral Ruri and Mr J. N. Thomas 'nved some diis- tanoe 'iirom the town, while Mr Hugh Ed- waii-da and Major 'Edwards resided some miles away. Holyhead hiad ap-opulation of nearly JJ1,fJOJ, and the Council respectfully asked that the matter be considered 'by Sir Richard Rulkeley. The letter pointed out that though .there was di-ways a good attendance of magistrates, at the Petty Ses- sions great inconvenience wiis found in the matter of signing documents owing to the dea.rth of justices. Wriiting on March 21flt Sir Richard Bul- keley said ttlhat the matter was having hip careful attention. He would, however, like to point out that there were few papers I except summonses which could not be signed before a Commissioner for Oath6, (' aritl said 'that possibly this fact bad been lost sight Ql. I In reply to this Mr T. R. Evans wrote that "certificates for transfer of cattle had to be signed by magistrates before such transfer was permit ted." Sir Richard then wrote asking for the name and address of the chairman øf tihe Holyhead Urban Coun- cil, to which Mr T. R. Evans replied that lie was Mir Thomas Slater, living at 2, Long- ford-terrace, which was within about five minutes' walk from the police station. On the 9th of April (Mr J. H. Laurie, r clerk to .the Lord Lieutenant, wrote asking what certificates for transfer of cattle were referred to. Were they certificates required by the Board of Agriculture or by any other (authority? M;ust they be signed belfore a magistrate, and what were the approximate number of certificates per week? In reply Mr (Evans wrote 'The certifi- cates of transfer are those Teqiuired by the Board of Agriculture before horses or cat- tie can be removed from this country to Ireland, whkfti had to be signed betfore a justice of (tihe peace, in the locality from whence they were removed. It was men- II tionedi at the last meetin.g of the Council that a member had. been knocked up in the middle of the night, and that this Was by no means a solitary instance." MrElvans said he had no means of ascertaining the number of declarations signed' per week. The last Jetter from Sir (Richard Bul- keley stated that from imformation which be had received from another source it ap- j peared that the certificates referred to were not now required. The Lord Lieutenant had fully considered the recommendation of the Council, and he proposed to make a re- commendation of another appointment to the Lord Chancellor, and hoped that with the Lord Chancellor, and hoped that with the addition of a new magistrate to the 'already existing ones, and the ex-officio j (magistrate the requirements of the public convenience would be adequately met Lifter th-e reading of the correspondence the Chairman said that when the matter was brought -up he had. no idea that he wou'!d be the person on whom the choice would (fall. There were memibems who had been th airmen olf the Council years before, and they had (rendered valuable service to the town. He IhQDOO: that they would not be overlooked, and that the Lord Lieutenant would in his future appointments, lean a little 4oward the democracy, as had been suggested by Mr Lafflehury at the last meeting. A Vote of thanks was pasfed. to Sir Ri- ohaxd [B'ulkeley for his courteous reply.

At, the Holyhead Guardians on Tuesday it was report.ed that 32 vagrants, had been housed within a fortnight. Mr J. M. Tho- Im remarked: thait the provision of new cells, where the vagrants were isolated while they broke stones in return for their lodg- ing, did not seem to have rediuoed the iram- ber otf vagrants. He might hare added that such repressive methods never will. They only (keep the vagrante on the roads and make them a danger to the public and in- j orease the risk of fires in out-buildings.
