Alfred Shaw's Certificate of Discharge.

THE CASE OF SERGEANT COLGAN. Discharged Medical Certificate as incurable. Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. THE military authorities are not too ready to grant a discharge to a soldier, as the case of Mr. R. P. Colgan, 41, Barbara-street, Barnsbury, N., ex- emplifies. His thrilling story cannot be better told than in his own words. One day," he said, as an elderly woman, who did washing for the officers of my regiment, was crossing a field with a bundle of clean linen, a tramp struck her from behind with an iron bar. I rushed out, and half jumped, half fell, over a wall about sixteen feet high, as I pursued the dan, who, however, got into a wood and escaped. In the fall I injured my back, and to that I attribute my illness." Very serious was the illness entailed by the worthy Sergeant's impetuous courage. Notwithstanding the best medical care at the Military Hospital, Warwick, where he was stationed, Col- gan found himself hopelessly paralysed. His limbs refused their office; he reeled like a drunkard. Gradually slipping from bad to worse, he found that he could scarcely get down- stairs, and was afterwards admitted into the Military Hospital again. On March 31st, 1893, he was discharged from the Service, on the recommendation of the Army doctors, as incurable. If ever there was a hopeless case this was one. The doctors told him frankly that he could not live a twelvemonth. Yet, the twelvemonth over, the reporter found Colgan not merely alive, but active and well he is, in fact, at work in London at the present day. The means of this remarkable escape remain to be told, and in reply to the reporter's in- quiries it was elicited in simple and con- vincing terms. In his misery and despair, Colgan, helpless and useless, was begin- ning to feel that it would be best for all concerned if he could die at once. Then one day his little son brought home a book in which were described some of the remarkable cures effected by the new medical discovery of Dr. Williams, an Edinburgh University graduate—the remedy popularly known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He was talked into trying the remedy, and from the first box the cure began. His appetite returned, control of his limbs of which the terrible disease locomotor ataxy had deprived him— returned also. The extremities, formerly cold and limp, were now tingling with new blood, and when the reporter saw Mr. Colgan he was walking every day to business-a man as surely snatched from death as though he had been caught upon the brink of the precipice.

THIS AND THAT. Two of the gamekeepers on the estate of Mr. F. T. Barry,M.P., were shot by poachers at Windsor late on Friday night. The injurles of both are described as serious. Their assailants are still all large. Whilst a number of boys were discharging an old fire- arm at Maids Moreton, near Buckingham, on Guy Fawkes Day it exploded, carrying off part of the head of a boy named Grant, who died in a few minutes. The Denbigh Justices had before them on Friday two cases in which publicans were charged with per- mitting drunkenness on licensed premises and selling drink to drunken persons. The charges were in each case dismissed. Mr. J. Maurice Lloyd, of Lincoln's Inn, son of the late Rev. John Lloyd, of Castell Forwyn, Montgom- eryshire, has been appointed taxing officer to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England in success- ion to the late Mr. W. W. Ravenhill. Judge Williams, on Thursday, unveiled at St. Andrew's Churchyard, near Dinas Powis, a memorial column erected in memory of the late Dewi Wyn o Esyllt, a well-known Welsh bard, by a number of his friends. At the Cheshire Assizes on Saturday Mr. Justice Day passed sentence of twenty-one months' impris- sonment with hard labour upon John Gleeson, a groom, who pleaded guilty to having caused incendiary fires at three farms near Nantwich. The Graphic of last week contained an interesting illustrated supplement dealing with the Dreyfus case. The only portrait of ex-Captain Dreyfus which has been taken since his degradation is given, together with scenes in the Cour de Cassation and views and a. map of the He du Diable. Messrs. J. R. Parkington & Co. state that the ship- ments of port for October amount to 10,084 pipes (Great Britain, 4,439 pipes), making 87,127 pipes for ten months, against 82,750 pipes in 1897. The sherry shipments were 4,650 butts, making 45,041 butts for ten months, as compared with 41,091 butts for the corresponding period of last year. The Bangor and Beaumaris Guardians decided on Friday, without waiting any longer for sanction of the Local Goverement Board, to break through the rule which provides that a fixed and equal quantity of bread must be served out to each inmate, and gave instructions that in future loaves of bread should be placed on the tables so that the inmates might help themselves. We regret to announce the death of Mr. Owen Lloyd Jones, Justice of the Peace, of Gwredog, Anglesey, after a very short illness. He was well known as a landlord and agriculturalist, as a member of the Anglesey County Council, and as an active office- bearer in the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist body. He was also a member of the Council of the Bala Theo- logical College, and held other offices. His loss will be widely felt. The inquest on the body of Miss Caliban, who was murdered at Birmingham on the 20th ult., was con- cluded on Saturday. Evidence was given as to the eccentric habits of the woman, and as to the suspic- ious movements of a youth named Mumby, who is under arrest charged with the crime. A verdict of wilful murder agaisnt the prisoner and some person or persons unknown was returned. Dr. Hunter Hughes, the coroner for South Carnar- vonshire, held an inquest at Penygroes, on Saturday, touching the death of John Jones, Tynewydd, Groeslon, who met with an accident at the Dorothea Quarry, on Tuesday. Evidence was given to the effect that while the deceased was following his em- ployment a large piece of rock fell from above and he was buried beneath the debris. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The deceased leaves a widow and six children. An exciting incident was witnessed at Portmadoc railway station on Friday. A Mrs. Hughes, of Railway Place, in crossing the line, got in front of a luggage train, and a signalman named Edward Evans jumped to her rescue. In dragging her along he was struck by the engine and spun round, until he was thrown on to the side of the signal-box. Mrs. Hughes fainted in his arms, but soon recovered, and Evans escaped with a slight shock. This is Evans's second narrow escape within three months. The Lords of the Admiralty on Saturday divided an order for 200,000 tons of best Welsh steam coal among seventeen Cardiff firms, the quantities ranging from 3,000 to 35,000, tons. Part of ths contract is for home and part for foreign stations, and the delivery is spread over a period extending to the end of next June. The price is about the best on record for normal prices, being equivalent to from 13s. to 13s. (id. free on board, or 3s. higher than the average for the last two or three years. Stephen Donowan, 18, labourer, and Michael O'Cowley, 23, labourer were convicted at the Old Bailey on Friday of highway robbery with violence. The prisoners, who belonged to a gang of thieves in the neighbourhood of Greenwich, attacked the pro- secutor, a respectable young man, and after brutally assaulting him rifled his pockets. The Recorder sentenced Donovan to nine months' and O'Cowley to six months' hard labour, and ordered each to receive 20 strokes with the cat." A disaster to a great Northern express train near Peterborough was only averted on Saturday morning by the prompt action* of some railway men. Two goods trucks which were being shunted ran off the rails and blocked the main line at the very moment when the express had received signal to pass. The alarm was at once given by the signalman, who in- stantly put the signals at danger. Two shunters ran along the line swinging red lamps, and the express was brought to a standstill close to the obstruction. A brass tablet erected to the memory of Mr. Gladstone was unveiled on Sunday at Seaforth Parish Church, near Liverpool, where he worshipped in boyhood. The cost was defrayed by public subscriptions. The tablet is inscribed as follows:- To the glory of God and in pious memory of William Ewart Gladstone, patron of this church and four times Prime Minister of England, who entered into rest onAcension-day,1898. He worshipped on this spot during his boyhood, and was a teacher in the Sunday school. The memory of the just is blessed." A coroner's jury which sat at Pontesbury on Monday returned a verdict of wilful murder against a young woman named Edith Bright, whose child had been found strangled. Later in the day Bright was charged with murder before the magistrates, and in the course of the hearing she confessed that another child of hers, which was born two years ago, had been buried in a bucket near the house where she lived at the time. Search was made by the police, and the body of the second child was found in the place indicated by the prisoner. She was remanded for a week. Mr. J T. Price, the District Coroner, held an inquest on Friday on the body of William Carter Hulme, 72, a commercial traveller, of Abbey Hey Lane, Gorton. On the 28th August deceased went home and told his wife that when in Fennel-street, Manchester, he was knocked down by a bicycle. He did not say that the cyclist was riding fast, but that he did not hear him ring his bell. He complained of pains, and a doctor was called in, who found him suffering from concussion of the spine, of which he died. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Some strong language was indulged in by Mr. A. E. Wykes. president of the Wrexham and District Teachers' Association, in a paper read before that body on Saturday on Pupil teacherdom." Mr. Wykes urged that the members should do all in their power prevent anyone from becoming a pupil teacher. Parents made sacrifices he said, to enable their children to go to college and qualify as pupil teachers, in the belief that everything was going to be rosy, only to find out later that the thing was a gigantic fraud." He considered that men got penal servitude for smaller crimes than inducing youths to become teachers. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the North Wales (Gwynedd) Provincial Eisteddfod was held at Llandudno, last week, under the presidency of the Rev. R. P. Williams. The Revs. R. Williams (Hwfa Mon), the Archdruid of Wales, and Ben Davies, of Ystalyfera, were elected adjudicators of the poetical competitions and Dr. J. Parry, of Cardiff, and Mr. J. H. Roberts adjudicators of the musical competitions. It was decided to offer a silver harp, similar to the silver harp of the Caerwys Eisteddfod, held in 1568, to the conductor of the choir in the chief choral compet- ition, and it was resolved to revive the custom at ancient eisteddfodau of installiHg the conductor as Pencerdd," or the chief musician. The secretary was instructed to communicate with Archdruid ("Hwfa Mon") so as to obtain full particulars in reference to the ceremony. It was decided to ask Lord Mostyn to give the Committee permission to have the harp manufactured after the pattern of the ancient silver harp in his possession.

SPECIAL HOME READINGS. SERIES HL-YOUR CHILDREN. No matter whether physical or mental labour is meant, or even if, as is too often the case in these days of fierce struggle for existence, an excess of either has to be accomplished, Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa will prove of inestimable service. The jadedness and tin dness which characterises thousands of youug men and women of the present day too often resolves itself iuto a question of diet. Children and young persons do not require so much food as nourishment, and a partially digested Food-beverage, such as Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa, gives strength, stamina, and builds up and strengthens the tissues. The disinclination for further effort and exertion so often experienced will Lecome a thing of the past; and heat in summer, and cold in winter, and all the bleak uncertainties of our trying climate can be faced with Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. which has concentrated powers of nutriment, and imparts stamina and staying powers, adds to powers of endurance, and enables those who use it t) undergo greater physical exertion and fatigue. The -British Medical Journal" says Vi-Cocoa is a very palatable beverage of great stimulating and sustaining properties." The" Lancet" says: "Vi-Cocoa is in the front rank of really valuable foods." We say that for breakfast and supper there is nothing to equal Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. Merit, and merit alone, is what we claim for Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Cocoa, and we are prepared to send to any reader who names the Llangollen Advertiser a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa free and post-paid. There is no magic in all this. It is a plain, honest, straightforward offer. It is done to introduce the merits of Yi-Cocoa, into every home. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. as a concen- trated form of nourishment and vitality, is invaluable nay, more than this, for all who wish to face the strife and battle of life with greater endurance and more sustained exertion, it is absolutely indispensable. Dr. Tibbies' Yi-Cocoa, 6d., 9d., Is. 6d. Can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers and Stores, or from 60, 61 and 62, Bunhill Row, London, E.C. +.

MR. HERBERT ROBERTS, M.P., AT LLANSILIN. Mr. Herbert Roberts, M.P., addressing a meeting of his constituents at Llansilin, on Monday last, said it was a remarkable tribute to the strength of Welsh Liberalism that whilst the flood of Toryism swept all over England in 1895 it obiained no real entrance in Wales. It was. indeed, true that they had lost two or three seats in South Wales, but this was occasioned by defective organisation in their own ranks, and was not due to the strength of their opponents. The establishment of a strong Conser- vative Administration at Westminster meant much to Welsh Liberals in the postponement of the great reform upon which the mind of Wales was set; but despite this the Liberal party had shown no signs of weakne-s or despair, and the signs of the timts contained many elements of hopefulness. He referred to the recent brilliant victories of Mr. Moss and Mr. Wynford Philippe, which showed that Liberal Wales was in excellent fighting trim, and pointed out that the earnest and united agitation in Wales against the education policy of the Government, together with the successful establishment of a Liberal council for the whole of the Principality, testified to the reality and vitality of the forces of Liberalism in their midst. The question, therefore, arose in what special directions they should advance as Welsh Liberals. Speaking for himself, he felt convinced that the disestablish- ment of the Anglican Church, both as a religious system and in connection with its hold upon about half of the elementary schools of the country, still claimed a first place in the mind and policy of the Liberals of Wales. There were signs around them that the country might be brought more clearly to realise what their Nonconformist principles meant by the disorder and lawlessness now apparent, in the Church itself than by a quarter of a century of agitation. As to the policy to be adopted in Wales to obtain Disestablishment, he heM thatit was their duty to pursue the same methods as before, on the clear understanding that that great reform was to be won only from the Imperial Parliament. With regard to the necessity of greatly ax tending the powers of self-government in the different portions of the country, he attacb, d the greatest importance to this reform, believing that it was through such a devolution of powers that a number of the pressing problems of the day connected with Parliamentary government could alone be solved and he further felt convinced that in emphasising the need of granting a greater meisure of self- government to the various parts of the kingdom they would indirectly pave the way for and hasten the coming of Di-establishment and other reforms of the utmost importance to Wales. Speaking of the work of the last session of Parliament, he pointed out the importance of the Irish Local Government Act, and said he thought that time should be allowed for the influence of that Act to operate upon the mind and life of Ireland before they could wisely decide the course to be tak"n in reference to the settlement of the Irish question. Having dealt with the other measures of the session, he expressed his great belief that, according to latest information, the extreme gravity of the foreign outlook had to some extent be^n lessened. He rejoiced that the French nation had decided to withdraw the Marchand mission from Fashoda, where it occupied an untenable position, but he hoped that those who were called upon either on the platform or in the press to voice tue opinion of the country wouid refer to that decision of the French Cabinet in such a way as to recognise the difficulty of the French position, and with every effort to avoid expressions calculated to hurt the feelings of the French nation. He hoped and believed that war would be avoided, and trusted that even the dread possibility of such a national calamity would have the effect of strengthening the forces around them which made for peace. In conclusion, he made an appeal to all who professed the Liberal faith to cling to the great principles which underlay it. There was no such thing as failure in Liberal politics if pursued in the right spirit and for worthy ends. The wheels of progress might appear to run slowly, but sooner or later they would reach the realisation of their long- cherished hopes and national aspirations.

TEMPERANCE TALK. There was a very fair attendance at the Llan- gollen Band of Hope, on Saturday, when it is take into consideration that it was Guy Faulkes Day. Songs were rendered by Miss Lizzie Lloyd, and Misses H. E. Williams and Muggie Roberts, and a recitation by Miss H. E. Williams. The Rev. J. Lias Davies addressed the children on What the leaves teach us," and the address was listened to with much interest. Mr. G. S. Griffiths also briefly addrt-ssed the meeting. It is encouraging to see old friends of temperance evincing so much interest in the Band of Hope this season, and it is hoped they will continue their support. Under the auspices of the Llangollen United Temperance Society, a large audience assembled at Glan'rafon Welsh Congregational Chapel, on Friday night, to listen to a strikingly picturesque lecture on "Slum Life in our large cities." delivered by Mr. R. Darlington, F.R.G.S. Mr. Ja<. Williams, who presided, opened with a few words of encouragement, and after the Rev. J. S. Haworth had offered a prayer, the lecturer gave expression to the great interest he took in the temperance movement, and aid he believed that in Llangollen they were doing a magnificent work. With respect to his lecture on slum life in such cities as Liverpool, Manchester, London. &c.. he had been greatly aided by pictures taken from life, and which would be thrown on the screen by Mr. Lettsome. Mr. Darling-ton then proceeded with his task, the dire effects of the drink as well as the happy conditions of the teetotaller in the slums of our great cities being brought out in strong contrast. The lecture was interspersed with songs contributed by Mrs. T. D. Coward, and Mr. Owen Davies, Mrs. Lias Davies presiding at the harmon- ium. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer. Lord Roberts, speaking on Friday at a meeting- of the Army Temperance Association, said that if it were more generally known what advantages the army had derived from that Association he was sure more support would be given to it. The efficiency of the army depended on the health of the men, and conclusive evidence was afforded that less crime and fewer admissions to hospital took place in regiments where the Association was strong. Lord Robprts also referred with pleasure to the absence of drunkenness among- the soldiers during the recent manoeuvres on Salisbury Plain. The Garth Band of Hope meeting yesterday week was presided over by Mr. Robert Edwards, and a varied programme was gone through. The opening devotional exercises were conducted by Mr. G. D. Morris, and addresses were delivered by the chair- man, and by Messrs. J. Ellis, J. Owen, Wm. Ellis. Y.H., R. Edwards, E. C. Edwards, and Enoch Jones recitations were given by Misses Ellen Jones and J. Ann Williams, and Messrs. G. Clay. T. C. Eaton, John Ellis, and Enoch Jones songs by Misses M. Roberts and Kati^ Roberts, and a duett by Messrs. J. Roberts and Arthift Eaton. The songs and recitations were interesting, and the addresses instructive. --+- The first monthly and competitive meeting of the fourth annual winter session of the Llantysilio United Temperance Society was held at the School- room, Llantysilio, on Monday evening. There was a crowded attendance, the chair being taken by the Rev. J. S. Jones, B.A. Mr. Michael Williams, Pen Vivod, Berwyn, very kindly adjudicated on the musical competitions. During the evening a vote of condolence was unanimously accorded to their revered and distinguished patron, Sir Theodore Martin.
