CABNABVOIT LOCAL GOVERNING BODY. The cLainmm (Mr Isaard Davies), presided over Monday s meeting of the above body, and there were also present Dr. John Williams, Mr Edward H. Owen Mr John Davies, Dr. Fivan Roberts, Alessrs John Ilenzics, R. Jones Hughes, W. J. Williams, Kev. Gwynedd Roberts, Rev. Rees Daviea.Mr T. W. Williams, Mrs Greaves, Mrs Jones (Minafon), Mr John Owen (headmaster), Mr J. H. Thomas (clerk). K-VLIGHTENMRNT. I The Charity Commissioners wrote to state j that the meaning of the letter sent by them to the clerk of the County Governing Body, reo specting scholarships had been misunderstood, the fact being that a scholarship under clause 99 of the scheme would if renewed under clause 97 be a scholarship as originally awarded, carry- ing with it total exemption from tuition fees.- The Headmaster observed that the Commmis- sioners' first letter had been misunderstood by every school in the county. RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. In order that the regulation governing the religious instruction given in the school be made more precise, Mrs G K KAVES said that at the open- ing of the daily school twenty minutes be set apart for religious teaching and instruction from the Bible, such instruction to be given to the boys by the headmaster, and to the girls by the headmistress, and to be free from anything in the nature of dogmatic theology or formula- ted creeds. Mrs Greaves felt that it was of great importance that the school should begin daily with religious instruction, and she also be- lieved that she had framed a resolution which would commend itself to people holding a variety of opinions,and would also be in accordance with the Sunday worship and the home teaching of the children. Mr JOHN DAVIES asked the headmaster what was being done in the school at present. The HEADMASTKR replied that a quarter of an hour daily was taken rip with religious in- struction, which consisted of the reading of a chapter from the Bible, and the saying of the Lord's Prayer and the Grace, besides Scripture teaching in classes in fact an average of about sis hours were given every week to religious instruction. Mr JOHN MENZIES What does dogmatic theology mean ? Mr J. DAVIES: You, coming from Scotland, ought certainly to know (laughter). It means that we are not, for instance, to teach the Con- fession of Faith of the Calvinistic Methodists or the Catechism of the Church of England. The CHAIHMAK It means more. It moans that you forbid the Apostles' Greed, in which we all believe, and all doctrines. Replying to the Rev Rees Davies the CHAIR- bfAN said that this question was most carefully considered by the Joint Education Committee when framing the tcheme, and the result of that consideration was the three paragraphs iIi- cluded in section 87 of the Act. He should be glad if Mrs Greaves amended her proposal by substituting the words "in accordance with section 87 of the Act for the last words adopted by her. Mrs Greaves having agreed to this course, Mr W. J. WILLIAMS moved as an amendment that the time allotted for religious instruction should not exceed twenty minutes. Mrs GREAVKS That looks somewhat stingy towards religion. Mr WILLIAMS objected to that expression. All he meant was that the head teachers should have some guide as to the time to be allotted. The amendment was seconded but upon being put to vote was lost, and the original proposal declared carried. "STATEMENT BY THE HKADMA'TER. Mr Owen announced that the boys and girls now in school number 180. To meet the additional pressure on the staff he had appointed Miss Pierce as assistant mistress and Mr T. J. S. Roberts as agSistilnt master until the end cf the term. FINANCIAL, The Chairman announced that the building fund had reached the surn oftli04, bein £J.1, in excess of the sum required. The fund for establishing a technicaJ side to the Sd1001 amounted t* ?116, imd plOmjses had been given for £ô5 more. RITE FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The CHAIRMAN also reported that the County Governing Body at their last meeting had approved of th site and the plans of the proposed new school buildings, but they did not, consider that the proposal to lent the land in perpetuity camo within the meaning of the Act, which called for 'a freehold site..After much discussion it was decided to ask Lord Penrhyn, the owner of the site, upon what terms be would sell the half acre required for the buildings, and whether he would let the three acres adjoining for a fee farm rent in perpet- uity. Rev. GWYNEDD ROBERTS called attention to the payment that day of £ 'S0 t; a member of the committee as rent for the temporary build- ings and inquired whether such pavment was legal. The CHAIRMAN replied that they had no option whatever in the matter, but he hoped that the irregularity would ttutcontinue long. Air ROBERTS Then it is an irregularity ? The CHAIRMAN No, I should not like to say that. Dr. JOHN WILLIAMS (the member referred to) I have a very strong idea to give you six months' n tice to quit unless you pay more rent (loud laughteri.

Perhapp, though, Mr Ilersc-e's whistle bad a cold owing to the severe weather. But this is by the way. I have said tht I consider Mr Hers=e a very fair and impartial referee: a considerable por- tion of the Bangor orowd, on Saturday, did not think so. In feet, a voluble scion of the aristocracy of Kvffin-°()n»ro persistently held and exp"ens°d Ih. opinion that Mr Hersee would not, if he could help it, allow any claim made by the Bangorians, whiie he invariably granted the claims of the visitors. All of whioh is not only against all probability but, con- trary to the actual fsc's of the afternoon. There- f.-T^ I he to repeat tbat Mr Ilersee is a fair and impartial referee. The kick-off took plac-i promptly at the adver- tised time, in the Dresence of a very considerable orowd of spectators, who stood on ice, which, in the playing portion of the field, had been thawed in some places, iuto dirty and chilly cuddles, and in others covered over with a liberal sp-inkling of paid, giving the plavers a preouious footinst.

After the Flint cus- todian had brilliantly cleared a grand shot from Riohard Williams, Harrison made a sudden rnsh for- ward and l2'e'ting the blIltt once, became as cool as the ice under his feet, and, though as quick ai; Ft flash, calmly passed to Sheeran. Without an instant's hesitation Sheeran banged the ball in. The Flint goalkemer knooked it out but T. C. Lewis Phot in hard and fa3t, and Robert Williams trying ti make assurance doubly sure put his head to it smartly, but raised just the shade cf a fraction of an inch too high, and the ball rolled on the pet. Very hard lines indeed The game ended in the score: Bangor 4, Flint 1. I haven't space to say more. In spite of the awful alatp of the ground the game was a fast one, one of results being that nearly tv rv player looked as if a ton of moonlight sosp would be repu'red to make him and bis cln'.hfs clean again. Flint did not play as well as they can do, and I think they made a mistake in sticking to the short passing game instead of the kick and rush business. The best men on th-i home side were Richard Wil- liams, Sheeran, H-irrison and Joe Roberts. D. R. Williams and Elias worked well, but made many mistakes Llew Jones and the other firwards whom I have not specified also played a clinking game in every respect. Mr Secretary Hampshire oame round the field at half-time with one of the Flint followers making a collection for the benefit of the players, most of whom have hoen out of work, and w»rn baid put to it to pay their way to Bingor. It was a kindly act, and 1 was glad to see the goodly pile of coppern in the hat when it reached me. It was then half full, and had still some distance to Ro. I don't know how mnoli they got, bnt whatever it was if tesified to the kindliness of a Bangor football crowd in a very creditable manner.

Presentation to Mrs Fincham at Conway. An interesting ceremony took plaoe at the Con. servative Clob, Conway, on Monday last, when Mrs Finobam, of Deganwy, was presented by Lady Augusta Mostyn, on behalf of the subscribers, with an extremely beautiful and artistic album and a very handsome purse, both of whioh had been care- fully ohosen by Mles Dutton with her usual good taste.

The Hon. H. MOSTYN, in addressing tbe meeting, said he wished to endorse every word spoken by Dr. Prichard, and he trusted that Mrs Fiucham would be able to continue the good work she bad so successfully undertaken. The Rev, GRIFFITH JONKS spoke in eulogistio terms of the Churoh work done by Mrs Fincham in the parish of Llanrhos, especially in forwarding the suocess of the little school at Deganwy, in which she always took such a lively interest. Mr KNBESHAW also spoke in high praise of Mrs Fincham's services. Dr. PRICHARD then requested Lady Augnsta to present Mrs Finoham with the album and purse.

I shall value tbem till tbe day of my death as tribute of your kind fe.-lings towards me, I know I have done nothing really to deserve such kindness on your part, but what, little good I may have dine has been a labour of jove. and this kind testimonial with which yen, Lady Angnstg, on behalf of the subscribers, have jost preseuted me, in recognition of my humble efforts, will, I trust, prove an incentive to me for further work in upholding those truths and principles which we all love so dearly.

EXTRAORDINARY SUOCESS IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY. Our corpulent readers will be giall to learn now to positively lose two stone in about, a month, with the greatest possible benefit in health, strangth, and muscle, by a comparatively new system. It is a singular paradox tbat the patient, returning nuiokly to a haibby stare, with increased aouvity of brain, digestive and other organs, naturally re- onirjs more food than hitherto, ye',notwithstanding this he absolutely loses in weight one or two pounds daily, as the weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation. It is an undoubted success, and the author, who has devoted venrs of study to the anbj-ct, guarantees a notice- able reductiou within twenty-four hours of corr- inc-riciti-lI the treatment. fhis is different with other diseases, for the patient, in some cases, may go for weeks without being able to test, whether the Dhvsiciar ha.» rightly treated him, aud may have derived no real or apparent iniproveinent in health. H ere, we repeat, the author guarantees it in twenty. four hours, the scale 'o be the unerring recorder. Ttie treatment aims at the aclnal root of obesity, so th it the superfluous fat does not return when dis- continuing tbe treatment. It is perteetfy harmtess. advice our re*i«TS to o«iil tlw attention ot atouF friends to this, because, sincerely, we think they ouoh; to know. For their information we may say that on sending ooorof postage (fourpence) a reprint of Presq notic-s from some hundreds of medical and ,Ohfr jourllRls-British and foreign—and otner interesting particulars, including tne book (n;6 pages) containing the recipe," can be had from a iVI, F.

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. I Mr Arthur Dt:verell, of King's Htsatl, Upper Weston, near Bath,like all wine Dersonat'es who are taken suddenly id, and have no curat ire reo medyat hand, consulted a phY8ician, w,o pr". ibt!d, but, as in thonsauas )f cases of kidney troubles, failed to girrt relief. Ho then accepted the ((oIlUsd of his friends. These are his very words:—" About tho middle of fast 5»Unary I commoueed to take Warner's Safe re lor after i-eated for months by an uninent physician without ■ any lasting benefit. After taking tlio ,ir*t bottle I found tho synipi/jma (which urcaccur.i i tely described in their pamphlet, obtainable by }J1),d curd tc Messrs Co., Sti, Clerk- I enwcll road, London; c.:iu;uiy:i ..i,d by acting strictly in accordance with their dietary I instructions I soon found a beneficial and lasting effect, and after taking Warner's Safe' Cure, together with the Pills, fi-on, February until the following May, I can con- scientiously say I am perfectly cured, and feel as strong and robust as I did ten years ago. I have regained my lost flesh, strength, and buoyancy that I had lost for years. I have re- commended it to all my friends and neighbours, and both my mother and daughter are taking it with beneficial results. I am not writing for the sake of writing, or with a frivolous mind, but for the sake of my fellow-sufferers, knowing the result that would follow giving a false reo port of the wonderful results that Warner s I Safe' Cure effected. I have spoken to several who say, Oh I have taken Warner's Safe" Cure without receiving any good but when I ask, 'Did you carefully live up to tin- auvm,;u diet necessary in Kidney Disease ? they ity, No.' I say then. How could you expect to receive any benefit with their treatment ? If you take Warnpr 's Safe' Cure, follow their, instructions, and persevere, a lasting cure will result, for I am a living monument to its curative powers,"

Lord MOSTYN, in moving the re-election of Lord Penrhyn as president of the Union for the ensuing year, pointed out that the Unionist Party in North Wales were deeply indebted to Lord Penrhyn for the great interest his lordship had taken in the work of the Union, the time he had devoted to such work, and his readiness to assist at all times in all good movements for the benefit of the country. The motton was cordially received and unani- mously carried. The" CHAInMAN in thanking the meeting for the honour they had again conferred upon him stated 'hat he had thought it would have been better for them to have elected someone else, perhaps younger and more energetic but as they were so unanimous he would fall in with their wish, and would do his best to fulfil the duties.

It was also decided to make an appeal to Mr "o,If our to come and address a North Wales Unionist Demonstration. The following were appointed as a deputation to lay the invitation before Mr BalfourLord Penrhyn, Earl of Powis. The Hon. George T. Kenyon, M.P., Mr P P. Pennant, and Mr H. St, John Raikes. Upon the motion of Mr P. p, PENNANT, sup. ported by a large number of those present, the following resolution was unanimously adopted —" That the members present at this annual meeting of the North Wales Division of the National Union of Conservative and Constitu. tional Associations express their strong detesta- tion of the proposal of the Government to again introduce a Hill for the disestablishment and disend"wment of the Church in Willi s, and their firm determination to resist we same in every legitimate manner." The PRESIDKNT befoie the close of the pro. ceedings stated that, he had great pleasure in proposing a cordial vote of thanks to urGeorge Owen, their secretary, for the very able manner in which he had fulfilled his duties, not only for the past year, but for many previous years as well. He found it difficult to find words strong enough to fully express his warm appreciation of the energy, tact, and excellent ability dip- played by their secretary. The resolution was cordially agreed to, and upon the motion of Colonel HOWARD, seconded by Mr RICHAIID THOMAS, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Lord Penrhyn for pre- siding. I
