BIG MANTLE SHOW.—We are now showing all the new modes for the present season in ladies' and children's coat?, jackets, costumes, etc., which, for distinction in excellence of style, quality, and real good value, far surpasses All previous dis- plays.—Lewis's, London House, Newtown. —— A RISING NEWTONIAN.—We cull the following from the 'Wallasey Newc, Mr W. Swancotc Morgan, one of the Liberal municipal candidates for South Li^card is a solicitor, being a member of the firm of Messrs J. Evans, Thomas and Co., 41, North John-street, Liverpool, a firm which enjoys a very high standing in Liverpool, and succeeded to the practice ot Messrs Herbert Lewis, Davies and Co. Mr Morgan enjoys an enviable position in Wallasey's Eocial and civic life, being esteemed by every section of the community as a man of unimpeachable integrity, and of more than usual brillianco. He is a young man of whom great things are confidently expected, and who has already achieved distinction in his profession. A native of Newtown, Montgomeryshire. Mr Swan- cott Morgan comes of a stock of Welsh Radicals, and is the son of the late Councillor Evan Morgan. He served articles in his native county, where he carried on a successful business for some years, and took a very prominent part in municipal and political work. A keen student of educational matters, with a wide experience and expert knowledge of his subject, Mr Swancott Morgan will prove a valuable acquisition to the public life ot our district. His connection with Wallasey dates back some ten years, and he has resided in the South Liscard Ward for about five years. He is the son-in-law of Mr S. P. Chambers, late of Poulton, a man 0(,. sterling merit, who has been an outstanding figure in Wallasey's muni- cipal history. Mr Swancott Morgan is chairman of the Wirral Welsh National Association, and his tolerance and broad sympathies in philanthropic are well known and admired. Of those who believe that a change in the personnel of the Wallasey Council is highly desirable, Mr Morgan has come forward from a strong sense of duty to offer his services to the community. His views- on municipal policy are broad and will reach the public through the media of election address and1 platform speeches. He stands for purity of administration and deprecates the personal element entering into Council appointments. It may be said of him that he will hold the balance justly between the interest of the Council em- ployees and the interests of the public. To de- prive employees of promotion, when they are qualified for it. is to put these men in a cul-de-sac from which there is no escape, and the whole policy is inexplicable to him. Mr Morgan sets his face against the over-mastering passion for buy- ing and selling exhibited by some Council mem- bers, He belioves that the finances of the dis- trict should never be made a pawn in the party game, and he most strongly holds that Liscard, from its central position and importance, should be the home of the new Town Hall, and he is pre- pared to fight for this whatever Messrs Joyce and Oldershaw mav hold to the contrary. Mr Swan- cott Morgnn is" loyal to Liscard interests he is a man of good ability, of high principles, a clear and incisive speaker, and a man who etjoys the confi- dence of Mary.

Na foed Croesty'n dy heb dant,—na bywyd Heb awel iach lloniant; Aelwyd fo dd&dblygo blant, A'i Uywyddiaeth yn llwyddiant. Yn y Croesty cair eistedd,—a gwylio Dirgelwch amynedd; Teulu iach mewn tawel hedd,— Cariad ieuanc i'r diwedd. Llanerfyl. J. R. THOMAS. Dywed Mr Lloyd George yn ei Araeth yn y City I Temple fod tua 420,000 o bobl mewn oed yn marw mewn blwyddyn o ba rai nad oes pump o bob chwech yn gadael eiddo gwerth sylw casglydd y dreth ar ol y marw. Un o bob chwech sydd yn gadael eiddo gweith ei drethu ar ei ol. Gwerth yr eiddo ar ol y marw yw 300 o filiwnau o bunau yn fiynyddol wedi ei adael gan 70 mil o bobl; ac o hyny gadewir yr haner gan lai na dwy fil o bobi. Fel hyn y gweithia y ffigurau allan: 2,000 yn gadael 150 miliwn, 68,000 yn gadael y 150 miliwn eraill, a 350,000 yn gadael dim gwerth son am dano. Dengys hyn fel y mae y cyfoeth mawr yn eiddo yr ycbydig. Ar y llaw arall y mae tir yn myned yn brin a drud ar gyfer magu plant y bobl. Edrycber i'r heolydd culion ac i'r tai sydd yn troseddu yn erbyn pob deddf iechyd; a cheir gweled mor eegeulys ydym o iechyd a bywyd y bobl. Da gweled pob arwydd fod deffroad ar hyn, a dilys y daw ein trefi. yn y man yn haws anadlu a byw ynddynt. Yn y cyfamser da fyddai i bob perchenog tai anedd edrych i mewn drosto ei hun a ydyw ei eiddo yn dai iach i fyw ynddynt. Gall y trigianwyr hefyd wneud mwy er gwella iachusrwydd trwy gadw eu tai yn lan a phur. Cant gynorthwy parod gan dri gwas lied isel eu cyflog, sef yw y rhai hyny—dwfr, gwynt a I ohalch. Y mae y wlad hon yn gwario tua 70 o filiwnau o bunau yn flynyddol ar ddarpariathau at rhyfel. Y mae ofn ein cymydogion dros y mor yn costio £ 8 yn y flwyddyn i bob teulu yn y deyrnas. Ac yn ychwanegol rhaid cyfrif y golled i'r wlad fod cynifer o ddymon yn rboddi eu hamser a'u nerth i lafurio gyda'r hyn nad yw yn cynyrchu dim elw. Y mae cenedloedd eraill yn gwario yr un wedd rba, ein hofn ninau a chyfrifir fod baich o 500 miliwn o buuau ya flynyddol ar gfnau gweithwyr y byd am fod ar y gwahanol genedloedd ofn eu gilydd. Nid yw hyn ond y draul flynyddol rbag ofn rhyfel. pan ddelo rhyfel chwydda y y draul yn enfawr mewn arian, llafur a bywydau. Drud iawn ydyw bwgan rhyfel, drutach ydyw rhyfel ei hunan. Y mae grym mawr yr hen ddyledion sydd arnom ni ac ar genedloedd eraill, y rhaid talu Hogau arnynt wedi dod trwy dreuliau hen rbyfeloedd. Bryd y daw yspryd Crist yn ddigon ei ddylanwad i beri i ryfeloedd beidio? Fe ddaw, nid yw wedi dod eto. Rhyfeloedd a beidiant, ac ni ddysgant ryfel mwy. Mantais i'r wlad hon yw fod ei marohnad yn rhydd i'r holl fyd. Daw pob gwlad i gynyg ei nvyddau i ni a chawn hwy am y prisian isaf y call y cynyrchwyrfForddioeu gwerthu am danynt Goly^?rhoddi toll y rba,vd i'r.j&ynifr daltv-mwy neu i'r gwerthwr fod ar ei golled. Ni ddwg y gwerthwyr nwydd i'r farchnad oniohaifE elw wrth wneud. Effaith rhoddi toll fydd cyfyngu ar y farchnad, ni ddaw cymaint o nwyddau i mewn; rhydd hyny gyfle i gynyrchwyr y wlad hon i godi eu pris, a chant hwy fantais ar y prynwyr. Lliosocach yw y prynwyr na'r gwerthwyr o un- rbyw nwydd. Felly effeithia rhoddi toll fantais i'r ychydig rif ar draul anfantais i'r Uiaws. Dyma hen arfer Toriaeth—rhoi mantais i'r ychydig a gorfodi y lliaws i fod yn dlotach o'r herwydd. Felly y gwnaed gyda'r tir; cymerwyd y tir oddiar y bobl gyffredin a rhoddwyd ef yn anrbeg i ychydig wyr. Felly cyn dod Masnach Rydd cedwid yd o'r wlad gyda tholl, manteisiai thyw ychydig trwy hyny, ac elai bara yn ddrud i lawer. Gwahoddir ni i fyned yn ol i'r hen drefn gan TarifE Reform. Diameu y manteisiai rhywrai a thlodai laweroedd. Nid ydym am fynd yn 01. Deddf fawr y greadigaeth yw, fel na choller dim. Casgla natur bob briwfwyd gweddill a thry ef yn foddion cynhaliaeth ar gyfer y dyfodol. Nid oes dim i'w golli mewn gwastraff ganddi hi. Dysga natur a gras yr un wera i ddyn, Ceslweh y briwfwyd gweddill fel na choller dim. Gelwir ar y rhai sydd yn dal tiroedd i amaethu pob congl hyd oni byddo dyrnaid o yd ar ben y mynyddoedd. Yn llo ceisio eadw yd tramor allan gyda tholl, beth fyddai i ni ei gadw allan trwy gyryrchu mwy ein hunain. Collir llawer i'r wlad hon trwy adael tir heb ei amaethu o gwbl neu ei amaethu yn rhanol a diofal. Llaw y diwyd a gyfoethoga. Y mae rhai cynulleidfaoedd wedi gwella gyda dod i'r moddion yn brydlawn. Gwelir grym y bobl yn eu lie cyn Mr dechreu, ac os bydd ambell un yn hwyr, dysgodd aros yn y porth nflu gerllaw iddo tra byddis yn darllen y Gair. Gwelliant mawr yw hyn a theimlir fod cynulleidfa yn mhell yn ol lie nad yw hyn yn rheol. Weithiau y mae ambell i blentyn heb gael ei ddysgu i aros a gwna hwnw gymaint o dwrf ac o rwystr ac a wna un mwy. Dysger y blant i sylwi a y rheol— peidio dod i mewn yn ystod y darllen ar gweddio. Llyfr campus yw Bywyd Henry Richard, gan Eleazar Roberts (6449). Gwna ei ddarllen les mawr i bob un ieuanc dengys beth sydd yn wir dda ac aruchel ac arwrol mewn cymeriad. Am lyfr fel hyn gellir dweyd ei fod yn meithrin cydwybod yn gystal ac yn awchlynju'r deall. Yn ami iawn chwery a'r teimlo hefyd.-O. M. Edwards. Byddai yn fendithiol i Ymneilldawyr yr oes hon ddarUen hanes hunanymwadol yr hen Gynghorwyr fu yn teithio ein gwlad yn yr oes a fu i ddod a goleuni yr Efengyl i'r broydd tywyll. Dywed y Parch John Morgan Jones yn y Tadau Methodistaidd am un ohonynt, Lewis Evan, Llanllugan, Darllena ei beryarlon, ei ddyoddef- aint, a'i waredigaethau, fel rhamant." Gellir cael' hanes bye am danynt yn llyfr dyddorol Edward Thomas, Tregarth, Y Cynghorwyr Methodistaidd (Rhif 6465). Wedi cael bias ar yr hanea yn y llyfr hwnw, gellir myned ymlaen gyda Methodistiaeth Cymru, John Hughes (6040- 42). a'r Tadau Methodistaidd, (J. Morgan Jones (6522-3). Y mae y Feibl Gymdeithas wedi cyhoeddi neu ledaenu yr Ysgrythyrau mewn deunaw a thrigain o'r ieithoedd ar tafodi^ithoedd Indiaidd-y rhai a arferir gan 225,000,000 o bobl. Ond nid oes un rhan o'r Ysgrythyr eto wedi ei ddwyn allan mewn pymtheg a thrigain o ieithoedd eraill yr India a siaredir gan 75,000,000 o eneidiau. Meddyliwch beth sydd genych yn y llyfrgell ddetholedig leiaf. Cewch gan gwmni o'r dynion doethaf a mwyaf doniol mewn mil a mwy o flynyddau, yr hyn a ddysgwyd ac enillwyd gan- ddynt trwy sylwi, chwilio a myfyrio. Dichon fod y dynion eu hunain yn gudd, yn byw yn unig, ac yn ddig wrth bob holiad oddiwrth eu cydoeswyr; ond i ni rhoddir y meddyliau gaed trwy draul ac ymdrech, wedi et gwiso yn y geirieu goreu, yn agored a rhydd. Gwahodda tywysogion byd y meddwl ni i'w cymdeithas a'u cyfrinach. Cawn aroa gyda hwynt, ac hyd y mae ynom galluogir ni i fod ddoethed a hwythau. GWTLIWK,

"That this meeting, representing the Welsh Churches of the Congregational Union of Mont- gomeryshire, while approving of the provisions of the Shops Bill, to reduce the hours and improve the conditions of employment in shops, expresses strong opposition to the clauses dealing with Sunday trading, in that while their operation will close very few shops which are not already closed by custom the large number of exceptions made will result in the opening of hundreds of shops now closed in Wales, and greatly facilitate the growth of unnecessary Sunday trading. It earnestly appeals to the Home Secretary to amend the Bill so as to give the local authorities in Wales and Monmouthshire the power, under Section 7, to malfe orders for the Sunday closing of any or of all those trades and businesses men- tioned in Schedule 2 whenever they are satisfied that public interest demands it." Y GENAUAKiH. 7. Galwyd sylw at y Genadaeth fod yr Ysgrifenydd wedi derbyn nifer o lyfrau Cymraeg ar y Genadaeth. Dywedodd y Cadeirydd y byddai yn bleser ganddo gael talu am y Ilyfrau, fel y gallai yr Ysgrifenydd yn ei ymweliad a'r eglwysi eu dosbarthu yn rhad. Diolchwyd yn gynes i'r Cadeirydd am ei haelioni. 8.

♦ Accompanied by the King and Quean of the Belgians,,the German Emperor and Empress were received by the Burgomaster and Sheriff of Brus- sels at the Hotel de Ville. The Emperor made a cordial reply to the pronounced eulogy delivered by the Chief Magistrate. Aviation is claiming its toll of lives with ap- palling rapidity, and last week three names were added to the grim-record of its victims. Captain Madiot's death was followed by that of Lieutenant Mente at Magdeburg, and now comes the news that another French aviator, M. Blanchard, has lost his life after accomplishing a flight from Bourges to Paris. What is claimed to be the biggest; apple ever grown in England was sold at Covent Garden for X14. The height of the apple is 5 in., its circum- ference 16 in., and its weight 27 oz. The bidding started at one guinea. The proceeds, it is under- stood, are to go to Charing Cross Hospital. The last stage of the protracted Wyler case, which occupied a total of fifty-one days before reaching the House of Lords, has come swiftly to an end. Without calling upon counsel for the respondents, their lordships dismissed the appeal with costs, Lord Halsbury delivering formal judg- ment. The total cost of the first two stages of this record lawsuit is said to have amounted to £ 80,000. When leaving Balmoral, where he had been doing duty as Minister-in-attendance, Mr Lloyd George carried away with him some personal presents from the King and Queen. The Chan- cellor received from King George one of King Edward's favourite walking sticks, while the Queen entrusted to him presents for his children. In 1908 one aviator was killed, 1909 claimed four victims, and the grim record of 1910 reaches a total of twenty.

A Sensational Announcement- I A dramatic development of naval policy is announced. Earlier in the year the Prime Minister stated that Germany bad ordered four more large armoured ships in April, and it was presumed they would be laid down at once and completed in about two years. It is now stated authoritatively that they have not yet been begun. Owing to the adoption by the British Admiralty of the 13 5in gun, which is being mounted in the eleven latest Dreadnoughts, the German designs have had to be reconsidered, with consequent delay. The extent of this re- tardation is still uncertain, but must, it is stated be considerable. The Conference on the Veto. A momentous political situation is involved in the latest developments of the Constitutional Conference. By November 15th, when Parlia- ment reassembles, one of two things will have happened-either the deliberations of the Eight will have failed, or the Conference will be dis- cussing a larger issue, namely, the Federal idea. 1. 11 By that term is Impnea. nu scheme, but a broad proposal of devolution, affecting not only Ireland, but Scotland, Wales, r) and England as well. Upon the turn of events in the one direction or the other depends another issue. For if the Conference should fail, a January election becomes practically inevitable; but if the larger question is still under discussion, there will be no General Election till after the Coronation.

THE PROGRESS OF ODDFELLOWSHIP.
THE PROGRESS OF ODDFELLOWSHIP. Centenary Celebrations in Newtown. The Colonel Presides at the Dinner. Mr Tomley on State Insurance. At the Unicorn Hotel, Newtown, on Thursday evening there was a great gathering of Oddfellows who met to celebrate the Centenary of their Society by having a dinner, and host Breese gave them enough and to spare. Seated in the chair was Colonel Pryce-Jones, and his genial presence infused a glow of conviviality throughout the whole company. At the lower end of the table was Brother W. H. Lambert. Other pillars of Oddfellowship in the room included Brothers G. H. Ellison, F. W. Cooke, and Thomas Morgan. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Bro. J. E. Tomley, and every word that fell from his lips was listened to with the greatest attention. The Chairman, of course, gave the Royal toast, and then after a song from Mr Stuart Humphreys, he acknowledged the pleasure which the invitation to preside at the 100th anniversary cf that great Society" had given him. Founded first of all Friendly Societies at Salford 100 years ajo, it was still the foremost of all Friendly Societies in the world (applause). Their funds amounted to no less than £ 14,000,000, and last year their income was over X2,000,000, and yearly they were paying members of the Society no less than Xl,700,000, and the aggregate membership of their Society 11 9 was over a million. They had lodges in almost every town in the kingdom, and bad extended even to the most distant Colonies (applause). He noticed that at the Centenary celebrations of the Metropolitan Lodges the first citizen in the world —the Lord Mayor of London-presided, and con- gratulated the Society upon THE MAGNIFICENT START which they had given thrift and everything in that way for as far back as 100 years The Lord Mayor had also told them that they were first and foremost in estimating what the liabilities would be to provide for sickness and for death, and for computing on an economic, sensible, and secure basis the amount which every member wonld have to pay and graduating it according to the age of admission; and thus making the Society abso- lutely solvent whatever happened (applause). The Lord Mayor had further said that it was on the card that the Government was going to introduce some new system of compulsory insurance for the working classes, and he had said at that big meet- ing that they would welcome any such scheme the Government brought forward if helpful to them, but if it were injurious to the great Friendly Societies and destructive of the great good they were doing, then they would agitate in such a way as to compel the Government to with- draw any such scheme (applause). The Grand Master of the Order and other brothers had also spoken in the same meeting at the Albert Hall. and had shown themselves very jealous of what the Government might do. One ol the gentlemen who spoke said that if the Government dared interfere with the independence of Friendly Societies that they (the Government) would be guilty of the UTMOST WICKEDNESS, and that the opposition of the Friendly Societies would be uncompromising, and they would never rest till they had prevented such measures pass- ing into law. Hinging on Friendly Societies they had a great scheme of old-age pensions, which they all welcomed with great pleasure—(applause) —but it was to be regrettad that that scheme had been passed without consulting the Friendly Societies in the matter. If their distinguished Welshman had gone to Germany to study their methods there before bringing in his scheme it was probable that a very different scheme would have been brought in, for while many deserving people were left out of it, there were thousands ot people receiving the pensions who really could well afford to be without them. Even in New Zealand, one of their youngest colonies, those who belonged to Friendly Societies reaped the advantage from the old-age pension schome in force there. It was not fair that many who had contributed for years and years should receive the same advantages as those who had never made any such sacrifice (hear, hear). It had been said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not intend meeting the Friendly Societies before bringing in the Compulsory Insurance Bill, but it was gratifying to know that since the Albert Hall speech the Chancellor had promised to receive a deputation from the Manchester Unity (hear, hear). In that day's paper their Grand Master had again referred to the fact that they had not been consulted on previous occasions, and he regretted exceedingly that the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER had more or less got a scheme ready before consulting the Friendly Societies, though he was glad they were going to be consulted even at the last moment. Brother Rigg, whom they had had the privilege of hearing in Montgomeryshire, he believed was absolutely against the Government interfering with their Societies, though he himself did net take that view. He thought a great mistake would be made should the Govern- ment bring forward a good fcheme on sound financial lines and were prepared to keep those who helped themselves, if a great order such as theirs did not listen to the proposals, and take advantage of them. He had always been in favour of the Government doing something to insure the workers so long as there was no hitch with those who belonged to the great Friendly I Societies. There were, however, other societies, such as slate clubs and dividing clubs,—and those were not the best sort of clubs-perhaps men in some instanaes might join one of tbose clubs where they would not join one of the best frLendly societies, but for all that, it was for the best lodges to help the weaker links (applause). If the Government would bring in a beneficent measure it would be a great mistake if the friendly societies did not listen to such a proposal (applause). He believed in independence, but when they found the Government giving free education, and insisting that tbpy should all be vaccinated—(laughter)—and that those of them who DID NOT BEHAVE THEMSELVES should be walked into the proper place, he did not see that it would affect the independence of friendly societies if the Government had a formal audit to see that everything was in order. If a society such as theirs could get public help then it would be a mistake if they did not avail them- selves of it. If they got subsidies from the Government, and everyone was forced into joining such societies as the Manchester Unity, would it not be very much better for the whole of society to have such a scheme carried through. Whilst he believed in members being jealous of their independence he hoped they would not forget the good which might accrue to other societies which were not so financially strong as the one to which they had the honour to belong. In asking them to drink to the health of the Society, and in wishing that they might all be nrnsent at the next centenary.—(laughter)—be had pleasure in coupling with it the name of Brother Tomley (applause). They would not expect him to eulogize Mr Tomley, but he did not know anybody, with the exception of Brother Ellison and Brother Cooke, who knew more about friendly societies than Brother Tomley. He was an expert in figures and anything which required headwork, and wherever he went—in England, Wales, or Scotland-he was listened to with the greatest pleasure. The debt that the country owed to friendly societies was enormous, and the extent to which they had saved the rates and taxes was fabulous; so that they must look forward to the Government of the day bringing in such a scheme as would meet with their approval, or, at least, their acquiescence (applause). The toast was then enthusiastically drunk, and another song by Mr Stuart Humphreys followed. BROTHER TOMLEY'S ORATION. Bro. J. E. Tomley then rose, and, receiving a rousing ovation, he said it was a pleasure to respond to a toast so ably proposed by their Chairman. Speaking in Newtown, which was the headquarters of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and under the chairmanship of the Honorary Colonel of the Fusiliers, it was interesting to note that in the early days of the Unity the lodges were named after great warriors, great battles, or great sailors. The very first lodge was called the Abercrombie." It was interesting to know that at the last greatest battle of Sir Ralph Abercrombie-Aboukir-the Fusiliera were in the first fighting line. That, at least, furnished a link between the first inception of their Unity a century ago and the present. There was a great contrast between those days in 1810. when their soldiers were fighting the battles of other countries, and the peaceful days they were now enjoying. Portugal was at present in the throes of an internecine conflict, and yet during the past century England had resolved itself into a peaceful country. That made them ask them- selves how far friendly societies were responsible for the peace within their borders (applause). In the local lodges from Newtown to Welahpool they had absolute solvency, and each of them possessed surplus capital of over J81,000. Their Society was absolutely unpolitical and unsectarian —(applause),—they acknowledged the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and these were THE TENETS OF THEIR CREED. Their objects were such, too, that they could con* fidently appeal to members of every religious sect and persuasion to help them in furthering the movement. He maintained this because the great means of furthering the society were the pulpit and the Press. They owed a debt of grati- tude to the Press, but he asked them in Newtown to see that the clergy were not behind in the work (applause). During the past few weeks thanksgiving services had been held in all the principal churches in the country, and the clergy- men who had officiated had expressed their views of the good their society had done. They would give the first place for loyalty to their sovereign and to their realm to no one. It was fresh in the memory of some of them, perhaps, how when their troops went out to the South African War they were kept in benefit all the time until they had returned to their homes (applause). Wherever they saw the English flag flying even in the far distant colonies, they might take it that the banner of oddfello-.vship would soon be unfurled beside it. That very day a friend from New Zealand had turned up, and he learnt that in that ltttle town where he lived there was a flourishing lodge with 200 members and several thousand of pounds in hand. The experience that members of their Society gained was useful in training them for civic and public life. A great deal of credit was due to those young men who took office in their lodges and assisted so much in carrying on the work (hear, hear). He hoped in Newtown that that spirit would grow, there was a tendency on the part of young people to consider themselves merely as passengers and not to push forward the vehicle in which they hoped some day to ride. If they looked back at the historv of the Manchester Unity they would find that it was the pioneer for actuarial solvency 50 years back it had a defici- ency of over £ 1,000,000, but active steps had been taken to reduce this and the result was that at the last audit they had a surplus of X,400,000 over the liabilities. Their society did not believe in the principle of EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY for to-morrow we die," it looked at things from the solid business point of view. In the Caul- brian Lodge they had an actuarial surplus of over j £ 1,000. The members could thus tell their friends that the society had more than enough to meet it* liabilities and pay everything for which they insured when they joined (applause). The The Chairman had referred to the question of State Insurance. A few days before there was a report that there was a likelihood of a misunder- standing between the Government and their order on account of the postponement of a meeting between their directors and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He had wired to Mr Lloyd George from Glasgow, and had received a reply that the meeting had inerely been postponed and he would do nothing until he had been the directors of their order (cheers). A great deal of opposition existed against the Government taking up this question of State insurance but the opposition, he tbought, was premature. They should not look at that subject from a parochial or partisan aspect, nor should they allow the great work of the Friendly Societies to be mingled with the chicanery of party politics-(hear, hear)-they should first consider whether it would confer any beneSt on the State and on thair fellow human beings. There were about six million members of friendly societies, but the tact that 26 million policies were issued by industrial assurance companies would show them what a vast proportion did not belong to friendly societies. They must, there- fore, remember that when these workers who did not belong to friendly societies, were unable to work, it was not only thHY, but their wives and children who suffered in consequence. If the Government brought in a scheme to COMPEL EVERY MAN TO JOIN some such society as theirs that would enable him to provide for sickness, it would be for the benefit of the whole country and not inimical to their own Friendly Societies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had himself said that it would be wicked to interfere with the work their societies were doing. Moreover, when they considered the vast membership, he might say the. voting mem- bership of those societies, he did not think that any Government would desire or dare to interfere with the progress of their voluntary movements. Therefore before passing judgment he advised them in a now classic phrase to "wait and see" (laughter and applause). Years ago Newtown district was a long way behind other parts of the country in the friendly society movement, but he believed things had remedied since then, yet from the latest statistics they were still behind. Friendly societies had largely benefited the rate- payers for gonerations past, and it was clear from statistics that where they flourishod most pauper- ism was at its lowest ebb. Let them then call upon the men of position in the:r midst to asso- ciate themselves with the movement, and eo lead those who looked up to them to join and provide for themselves (applause). Before sitting down he would ask them not so much to look back upon the work done by their Society during the past century as to look forward to the work which still had to be accomplished (applause). The Vice-Chairman in « felicitous speech pro- posed the tcast of the Montgomery District and the Cambrian Lodge." They had, said Mr Lambert, in their district 17 lodges with 2,500 members, and 12 juvenile branches, while their funds ran to something like j £ 33,000. He wished to voice his appreciation of Bro. Tomley, who had done magnificent work in the district (applause). He wished, in proposing the toast, to couple with it the name of their N.G., Bro. George Ellison, junr He liked to see young men coming into office, for they would bolster up the cause when they-the older members—would not be there to do it (applause). Brother Geo. Ellison (junr.), in a speech which the Chairman subsequently described as full of spirit and thought" made an eloquent response, in which he pointed out in excellent, style the many benefits which would -accrue from membership. Subsequent toasts were Kindred Societies," proposed by Bro. G. H. Ellison, and responded to by Mr Samuel Powell, J.P. "The Chairman," —a very popular toast-which was given by the Vice, who again was toasted by Bro. F. W. Cooke, and the Host and Hostess. Additional songs were also given by Messrs G. P. Davies, Stuart Humphreys, and W. Lewis, which Mr W. H. Milsom accompanied on the pianoforte, the National Anthem bringing the festivities to a conclusion.
DOLFOR.
DOLFOR. FLOWER SERVICE.-This annual festival was a very bright and beautitul service. Notwith- standing the lateness of the season, the floral bouquets were more numerous and elaborate than last year, and were net confined to Sunday School attendants. Special music was provided by the use of Simper's Flower Service. A tenor solo was also given by Mr R. Lewis, Cefnperfa. Thete was a splendid congregation, and a most appropriate sermon was delivered by Dr. Davies on Flowers," and the lessons taught by them The flowers were afterwards sent to three different London hospitals. Hearty thanks are due to Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones, Mr Edward Powell, Mrs Willans, and others for lovely boxes cf magnificent blooms. The parents also deserve credit for providing the children with such pretty and costly offerings.

Another Italian Disorder. A cloud burst in the Bay of Naples, and streams of mud came down from Vesuvius to Resida and Torre del Greco (a seaport near Naples), doing great damage in the fields and in the streets. Great damage has been done in the island of Ischia, but only twenty-two deaths are actually reported in the island. From Salerno comes the news that the little fishing village of Cetera has been almost entirely destroyed.
LLANIDLOES COUNTY SESSIONS.
LLANIDLOES COUNTY SESSIONS. There were on the Bench at these Sessions, Alderman Ed. Davies, and Messrs A. L. Onslow and Gwilym Edmunds. GUN LICENCE.—P. Davies, Trefeglwys, was charged by P.C. Pugh with using a gun without a licence. The Constable stated that on the 19th of October, about 5-25 p m he was on duty cn the road from Trefeglwys to Llanidloes. He heard a shot fired in Pwllglas field, Trefeglwys, and at the same time he saw a couple of partridges flying in frort of him. He saw defendant run from the hedge to the middle of the field with a gun in his hand and pick up a partridge. Witness went towards him and shouted to him, and when he cam;) up he asked defendant if be had a licence to kill game. and he said No," nor had he a license to carry a gun. Defendant said he was very sorry for what he had done. This was his first cffence.-Fined 5s., including costs.

Thomas Jones, Maesbrynar, Llangurig, and John Evans, Piasbwl, Llangurig.—Mr Llewelyn Phillips appeared on behalf of the Education Authority, and said that at the present time Lianidloes district had t he lowest per centage of attendance in the county. The loss the Educa- tion Authority had sustained through the low per centage of the district was £ 155.—Herbert Wilson was fined 5s., including costs, in each case. John Evans, 5s., including costs, David Tilsley, os., including costs. In the case of John Turner the chief complaint was that the children had to cross the river by an unsafe footbridge.—Mr Phillips said the Education Authority were not liable to provide footbridges; it was the Parish Council's duty.—Richard Joues (the attendance officer), said the case had been before the District Council, but they considered the bridge safe- enough, and they were not going to do anything to it. A fine of 2s. 6d, including costs was im- posRd. Thomas Jones was fined 5s. including costs, and JoLn Erans' case was adjourned for a month.—James Hamer, Ptnybank, Llanidloes, was also charged by Richard Jones with a breach of the Education Authority in respect of a child who was 13l years old, and she made only 72 attendances out of a possible 191, for June, July and September.
