Troupe (rem Liverpool will give a grand entertainment in the Town Hal!, Ruthin, in aid of the Ruthin Football Club. The troupe above nanud is to all intents and purposes the same as the Kentucky Darkies, but it is the rule of tho Kentucky Darkies not to appear under that title except for a benevolent object, suca as a chanty. They promise to jjive to Ruthin one of the best M ôtowa" ever seen, and it will be original and thoroughly asrusisg. It is bopd that a full measure of support will bt' given to the promoters, the committee of the club, who hope not oply to get enough to pay off the deficit now existing, but to secure a bfLlanCA wbieb will warrant the restarting o the club upen a sound basis at the beginning o the next season. Some further information will be found in the advertisement sp^sarinsj I in this issue, from wMch it will be seen thst Mr W M Thomas is the hon secretary. TEMPERANCE MEETING.—A well-attended meeting, one of the series being held at the Nonconformist places of worship in the town, was held in the Schoolroom of the English Cause, on Friday night, the ohairman beini th Rev T W Reese, the new pastor of the English Presbyterian Church. Interesting and forcibla addresses were given by the Rev Joseph Evans, of Denbigh, and the Rev E P Hughes, of Bala Coi lege. Mr Evans, who spoke in English and Welsh, devoted hitndelf mainly to the subject, f. How can we best secure stability upon tem- perance in those who embrace cot principles," lie gave, as the best means for seeming stability the teaching of the principles of their belief. Not only should they tell a man of the evils of intemperance, bnt they should make him under- stand the reason why abstinence was so essential, the once he appreciated and principle of the thing, and saw how right it was, he waii likely to remain steadfast in the vow he had taken. Mr Hughes spake chiefly on the general subject, in an equally eloquent manner. The meeting for this week, which will be the last of the series, will be hsld to-night at the TabernacIe Chapel, Weil-street, and adresses will be delivered by the Rev John Owen, Mold, and the Rev E J Williams, LUndriilo. -~f —.

RUTHIN SPARKS. I Kailway gnards on the London and North I Western Railway have a neat way of getting rid of parcels indistinctly addressed. If the word seems to be^in with a P and is a pretty long one. they invariably pitch it Out at Penmaenmawr ♦ ♦ It is said that the Volunteer Band received an acquisition the other day of a competent player who desired to perform npon the tife. He received his uniform and was duly enrolled. H instrument waa obtained for him, and was sent to his domicile, and the bill with it. As it is understood that the instruments are the property of the corps, and are generally paid for out of the corps' funds, this action npsat the equilibrium of the Dew member, who promptly returned his uniform, the tile, and the bill to the headquarters. V By theu: talk out of doorg, one would have faac^d that the members of the Corpora- tion, with a few exceptions, had quite made tip their minds to keep their own horses and they actuary entered into negociation for a stable. But when they come to face the matter m council, they change their views completely. I confess I am converted upon the tolls question. I have been advising that the townspeople, in order to encourage the markets, should give up the tells, but, when I learnt it would be, probably, illegal to re- fmpese them, that the abolition will not undo the mischief already done to the markets and fairs, I see that the proposal to abolish was a mistake. We must not look elsewhere for the remedy, if remedy there be. Shrewed persons with whom I have conversed, believe that the country markets are everywhere doomed, as the facilities for getting the big centres increase, and that even an additional railway would only still more weaken the markets, by drawing off our present patrons. Thiamaybethecaia, but there are other advantages to compea- sate as, which we would get out of another railway, Let us, therefore, go heart and soul into the project for a line over the mountain to Buckley junction. Here is an advantage from there. The journey to Eu-Itin would be so much shortened, that there would be a considerable reduction of .railway rates, and we could even beat oar competitors in that respect, being geogra. phically nearer the Liverpool market than either Denbigh or Corwen.

RGTHIN POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Dr Jenkins (presiding), Mr W T Rouw, Capt F B 0 Cole and Mr W G Rigby. THE PAUK PLACE INN. I On the application of Mr Edward Roberts, per aiission was grautwi to Mrs Jones, of Park llace Ion. Ruthin, to carry on the house under the license of her late husband till the next transfer day. ALLEGED LAKCKNS" BY AN OLD MAS. William Alexander Roberts, known under several aliases, was charged with having ,tolen a tin bottle, two butter oioths and a rake, from Cricor. in the parish of Llanfair. Mr Edward Roberts pros-onted on behalf of th* police. He said the things wre lost on the 12th of last month, aad the prisoner was apprehended, having in his possession thi, tin bottle. The police asked for a remand in order that they might search for the other articles. Police-consfabl- William Jones said that he went to Caerddinea farm and found prisoner in his bedroom, over the bakehouse aod saw the bottle there. He told witness he gave a wrench for it to one of the men working with the threshing machine. la about three hours afterwards the maa made a different statement, that he had found the bottle in a dingle not far from Crieor, and he gave a gimbiet to one of the enginemen for the oil in it. Mr A 0 Evans appeared for the defence. Francis Beech, the prosecutor, identified the tit: bottle, and staged that he missed it about the loth of February. In reply to Mr Evans, he said there was a dingle not far from the house where they threw old things and rubbih. The prisoner was remanded for a week. ALLEGED TITKFT OF BTRAW. KBMABIABLB CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, William Barker, of Llanfwrog, was ohargad with stealing, from a neld in the occupation of Mr William Williams, plumber, jpf Clwyd- street. Ruthin, a bundle of straw worth about 6d. Mr Edward Roberts (Messrs Lloyd and Roberts) appeared for the prosecatioc, on behalf of the police. Councillor William Williams, thoproseantor, said he held some land in the parish of Llan- fwrog, under Col Cornwalhs West as tenant. Pa had a shed, and he had a stack of bay on the land. The straw on the staok of hay was I blown off. It was wheat, oats and barley straw. He bad carried it all from the field now, His son carried it away. He could not tell whether any was lost or not. By the Prisoner: A fortnight ago there was a heavy wind. He was told on Tuesday I morning that prisoner came to his house after the gale and told ttu-m that the straw was I blown all over the field. He knew nothing of this till prisoner was arrested. Witness could not say whether any straw was lost or not. Police-constable John Evans, Llanrhaiadr, said: On Maroh 1st he saw the defendant in the afternoon. He was going out of the town with Police-constable Bithel. He had just gone a few yards past the houses, when the ao- cused met him on the footpath, with a bundle ot straw on his back. Witness asked him "Where did you get that straw, Barker." He said he bad been told by the farmer not to tell. Witne s said "Come Along Barker, let me have the truth," and he replied, I had it at Tyaycaaau, so you can go there and ask if you like." He said Mr Jonee had given him permission to get it. It was mixed stiaw, hay and wheat and barley. He would swear that there was whiat straw. There were weeds in it- He went to Ty'nycaeau, and asked for Mr Jones, who was T >t at home. He afterwards saw the accused who said witness ought to do something for his pay, and to find out where he got the straw from. The straw was tied up with a rope made of straw. Ten minutes or quarter Qf an hour earlier he saw the prisoner 1. aving the town by Prior-street, and he considered that it was impossible for him to have been to Ty'nycaeau, when he saw him in Borthyn. Ty'ajcaeao. was about a mile away. Cross-examined by the prisoner, witness denied that prisoner said he bad been toll not to say where he got the straw because others would be plaguing the farmer for it. He said nothing as to the reaioa. ) Polioe-eonstable Edwin Bithell stated that, when Evans went to Tr'nycaean, witcess went with prisoner down Borthyn and asked him ti put the straw behind the big door at Park Place yard. There they waited till Evans came back, when the offioer told Barksr that he had been to the farm and had been told that the straw had not come from Ty'n- ycaeau. Prisoner said he knew that, and that he only wanted to make Evans walk a bit, H? had theistraw from Edward Jones, carrier, Borthyn. Witness went with prisoner to Edward Jones who stated that he gave the prisoner permission about a fortnight ago to gather some old straw that had been blown off a stack of blay-in Brickfield lane, but had not seen him sines. He went to that place and found no straw there, and no sign of any baving been inaved. He same back to town and reported-the matter to Sergt Wollam. hergt Wollam said the bundle of straw was shown to him. It was worth about sixpenoe. He examined it, and found that it was com- posed of wheat, oat and barley straw, and there were a quantity of weeds, loeallv called hard heada:" in it. a very remarkable thing to find in straw. He went down Borthyn accompanied by Police-constable Evans, and' at Lh;; first gate on the right, after passing the stone siil^ he found traces of similar straw in the gateway. The straw there was quite fli(lb, and appeared to have just dropped there, when tae gate had been opened. The fi jld was a plougned one, and thsre was a cartway along the side of the hedge going down to the meadows. He traced the foot- prints of a man along that field. The footprints were quite fresh, and were those of a man in light boots. They showed that a man had come along that way towards the road, and here and there was a straw, which ehowel that tbe man had been carrying straw. He noticed that the straw was quite fresh and dry, and it had evidently been there only a short time, as on the Sunday night and tha morning it had been raining heavily. He followed the footprints down the field and into a grass meadow to a gate leading into the field of Mr William Wiliisuns. Here, about tea yards from the gate, the bundle had been put down and retied, as there was a quantity ♦k 8|jra* there, mixed straw, as was that ot the bundle. He saw no footprints thers, as there was grass on the ground, but he saw in- dications of the man having got over the W? J?'1 P°8t- Tk«e the soil was sfsstrWl «•K."»« str*,w' ,W u mo.his wL in the bundle. It lay in the eora« R! examined the straw, and found thJt' it i« of tua same kinds as that of the bund" Md there were "hard heads" He picked up a handfol of the stra- in the shed and brooght it with him That sample he now produced, with the bundle taken from Barker. The footprint* were, as he had said, these of light boots, and there was a boot protector on one of the soles bnt he oould not exactly remember which boot but he oould not exactly remember which boot it was. He had had occasion to examine Barker's boots a day or two before, and he could state that the footprints resemblsd those which would be made by Barker's boots, and they were about the same size. After finding the straw to correspond, he went to the prosecutor's house, and in consequence of what the prosecutor told hix&, he went to tta prisoner's house, about 10 o'clock at night, and charged him with the theft. I The prisoner said at first, I do not know where the place is." But afterwards he said, 1 do, now I remember, I was passing there about a fortnight ago, and the Wind was blowing the straw all over the fiald. I went and told them about it." Witness said, Upon this oharge you will have to accom- pany me to the lock-up." The prisoner said be would not go an inch. He would go to the prosseutor's but not to the lock-up. He tbr*w himsdf down, and thev had jreat i difhonlty m getting him there. There was a a,ack,adjoiniml-, the shed, and there was some I straw on it, held down with some pieces of wood. In reply to the charge, The prisoner said about a fortnight ago he asked Mr Edward Jooes, of Bo^thyu, if he cou!d have a bit of straw, aid be said he could have that which was b!own off the old shed ia Brickfield lane. He went there laat Monday for it, aDd there it was, in court. Mr Adams said the bench were entitled to ask what was known of this man as it would affeot their treatment of the case. Sergt Wullam said that prisoner had been 22 times convicted for different offenoes, and five times for larceny, the last conviction being on the 3rd July, 1893, tor stealing ferns. Mr Adams advised the bench that in view of the past character of the prisoner, they had no cp ion but to send the prisoner to the quarter sessions for trial, if they were satisfied there was a prima facie case. The prisoner said be would like to ask the proBecntor a question. Mr Williams then stood up in court, and prisoner asked, Have you given me in charge for stealing a bit of straw." Mr Williams said the police found the prisoner ont. Prisoner: Had you any straw to Bteal ? Mr Williams: Where was that on the staok ? The Prisoner: I suppose it was all about the fields. The prisoner was then formally committed for trial at the next quarter sessions.

[Author's Copyright.j A SKETCH OF THE LIFE I 011 Dr. Gabriel Goodman, DEAN OF WESTMINSTER (1561-1601), FOUNDER OF RUTHIN GRAMMAR SCHOOL. (BT R. J. EDWARDS). [Continued from last week's Free Press.]" -1601-CONTINUED. In addition to the eulogiums "upon the good Dean which are scattered over the foregoing pages, the following may be appended. Fuller (1662) says, that he became after leaving College Dean of West- minster, where he was fixed for full forty years; though by his own parts and his friends' power he might have been what he would have been in the Church of England. Abigail said of her husband, Nabal is his name, and folly is with him But it may be said of this worthy Dean, Goodman was his name, and goodness was his nature." Widmore also adds his testimony as follows: "This Dean had and deserved the character of a wise and learned man, very charitable and a lover of our religious establishment. He was much esteemed by the two Archbishops Parker and Whitgift, and several times recommended by them for a Bishopric, for Norwich 1574; for Worcester, Chichester and Rochester 1584, but what hindered the effect of their endeavours for him we are not told." The late Dean Stanley, too, Goodman's modern and worthy successor, tells us, that, Goodman was the real founder of the present establishment, the Edwin of a second Conquest. L'nder him took place the allocation of the monastic buildings before desoribed. Under him was rehabilitated the Protestant worship after the interregnum of Queen Mary's Benedictines His occupation of the Deanery was long after his deat.h remembered by an apartment known by the name of Dean Goodman's chamber' He was the virtual founder of the Corporation of Westminster, of which the shadow still remains in the 12 Bur- gesses, the High Steward and the High Bailiff of Westminster, the last relic of the temporal power' of the ancient Abbots. His High Steward was no less a person than Lord Burghley." Among our Dean's many good offices to those less blessed than himself with worldly means, the aesistance he rendered the learned Camdon must not be for- gotten, and on this point we are informed by Camden himself; and wI so by Good- man's nephew, Dr. Godfrey Goodman, Bishop of Gloucester, in his work, The Court of King James the First," published in 1839, by John S. Brewer, M.A., who states that the M.S, copy of these Memoirs is preserved in tho Bodleian Library, Oxford; but by whose means it Was deposited there, or by whom it was given, I have not been able to discover. It 11 attributed to Bishop Goodman on the authority of a memorandum inserted in it by Bishop Barlow, and upon con- clusive internal testimony." In this work the Author says, once to ,Mr Camden Clarencieux the herald, that in regard he had written the life of Queen Elizabeth, he could not but have mauy records which he had not mentioned, and I did desire he had not mentioned, and I did desire him to make me his heir of these records. I was the i-aliier wucouraged to make this request, becanse I was his scholar, and my father [Godfrey, brother of Gabriel] bad recommended him to be schoolmaster in wastminster, and had put him upon the etadias of antiquity, and had bought him books and gave him books only for that purpose; and it was my uncle [Gabriel] who bare his charge whea he travelled through to write his Britannia, as he. himself mentioneth in that book." Caxndon's statement in the Britannia (origiuaily written in Latin, and first published in 1607) occurs in a passage in which he speaks of the Dean, as Gibson has it in his English edition (1772) as a person of singular worth and integrity, and a particular patron both to me aad my studies or as Gough gives it (1789; the PTC6llfint and worthy Dean Gooiziin, the kind patron of my stul;va. Camden's own statement, it will be observed, m regard to the Dean, varies from and does not go so far as that of Godfrey Goodman; but the matter can- — not be pursued further, and I have only thought it well to go into these particulars, in order to 8hew that it really cannot be determined to what extent Goodman did assist the learned historian and antiquary. There can however be no doubt, but that his assistance was of a very substantial kind. Such are all the facts relating to the I career of Dr Goodman that, after much searching, I have succeeded in bringing to light; and, as I think it probable that but little, if anything more, is discover- able, we must remain content withlthe above particulars. It may be thought that I have chronicled frivial incidents, which are really not worth mentioning; so I would just say, that, as the important events of which there is any record are so few, I considered it advisable not to omit any available particulars for, however insigniiicent. they may be, they serve to fill in the picture, and help to make the portrait more distinct than it would be were only the prominent features traced. It will be observed that 'the method I adopt in my Sketch is to quote the various incidents verbatim et literatim from the different Authors upon whom I have drawn, and to interpolate only such remarks of my own as are necessary to connect the extracted passages into as consistent a narrative as the circumstances allow. By this means, comparatively meagre and scanty as are the incidents I have collected, we are at least enabled to obtain, sketched for the most part by the hands of his contemporaries, not infrequent although but brief glimpses of the worthy Dean, as he proceeds on his dignified course through life from youth to old age and, reading between the lines,—reasoning on the principle ex pede Herculem,-we can have no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion, { that the events which remain unknown must have been of the same character as chose of which we have records; and, in the words of quaint old Fuller, we can finally say of Gabriel Goodman, in all sincerity, Goodman was his^'name, and Goodness was his nature."

DEAN GOODMAN'S WILL. This serie3 of articles will conclude next week with a copy of Is THE WILL OF GABRIEL GOODMAN, D. D."

THE LADY WHO "KEEPS HOUSE." I AM a sceptic. I don't believe in modem miracles. There could be no donbt, therefore, that from the point of view of "nothing but the trnth," I was the best possible man to depatch on a mission of investigation into what is described as the Chorlton marvel. So writes a ktockpoTt Advertiser reporter. Brook-street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Man- chester, is a long street of small, respeetabl, working-class dwellinze, aod No. 33, the dwelling of Mr. Anderson, is an excellent- specimen of its class. The door was opened by J0™* lad* of a^ut 20. whose health lng faee was tho picture of I want to see Miss Anderson." I mm Miss AnderMn." •' IBltheh,Mi8wAv3er8°n who fcas been ill. I am fehe. W1I1 you step forward please" —and the next moment, I was T the p etty, well-kept ps.rlour. 0 be"™?U bave been very in' 1 undarstand/' I I ill, indeed, bnt I am better now » You might tell me something *bont it I am. a newspaper man, and if you have been I cured of a serious illness, there are hundreds cf others suffering who would be only too grate- ful to have the way of relief poiutcld out to tham." I shall be elad to tell yon all I know." And you won't mind if I print it ?" And you won't mind if I print it ?" Not at all." Miss Anderson's attractive face grew quite animated as she gave me her narrative. I may remark that she is the eldest of the family, afiftTeeps house for her father, ber brother, and three sisters, her mother being dead. She j has no light task therefore in housework. I Keeps house for her father M I "About two years she bogari, u I j attacked with illness which developed into ¡ curvature of the spine, accompanied by great weakness. Very severe headaches were con- stant with me, and although I jast manned to crawl out of bed, my house-work was impossible I, to me. Of conrse I had good medical advice from a very able doctor, and I became lIon out- patient at the Manchester Hospital. All the doctors, however, seemed to look upon me as incurable. 1 grew rapidly worse, until at length my obest was attacked, and I would lie sometimes actually fighting inch by inch for my lireath." One day in last April." Miss Anderson can- tinned, a little book was placed under the front door containing an account of some I wonderful cores which had been accomplished in this neighbourhood. I showed it to father, and he found that they had actually been printed in the great newspapers. They were effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and my father asked if he should bring me a box home. I said he might, though I wasn't very hopeful. He obtained them they were In a closed pink wrapper on which was printed the name 'Dr. Williams' Pink Piila for Pale Peopleand I found tfeat this w&3 important, aa Pink' Pills ia other forms are sometimes sold. which, however, are quite useless. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, however, are not like this; they are not like any other medicine, for they cured me when all other medicines failed. By the time I had got through the first box I was so much batter that I gave up all my other medicine and stuck to them. Why, when I used to have those head- aches and backaches I was so bad I could hardly see. Once or twice I was literary blind with the pain. But they have gone, and eo has my spinal trouble, and now I am quite strong and well again. Miss Anderson's illness perhaps is not of first-class public importance; but her cure (a matter of congratulation to herself), and the method by which she obtained relief, must be of the utmost consequence to the great comp- any of suffering humanity. And that is why Miss Anderson's story is Riven to the world. It is only one of many published cases which prove the cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills of all such diseases as arise from weak nerves %nd over-strain, such as paralysis, locomotor ataxy (the latter always I incurable by ordinary medicine), sciatica, St. Vitus* danee, spinal disease, nervona headache, and heart disease; also of disorders arising I from weakness and impoverished blood, such as ansemia, consumption, rheumatism, indi- gestion, shortness of breath, hysteria, female disorders, and pale and sallow complexion. Thosa Pills ate genuine only when acid in a ¡ wooden tube-ahaped box, almost two inches I long and aa big round as a shilling, with a pink outer wrapper beaiing in red letters the full itante, "Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
