DOLGELLEY COUNCIL SCENE. A MEMBER SUSPENDED A scene took place at the Dolgtlley Urban Council meeting, on Friday evening. The Coun- cil were discussing the advisability TF diverting the Afon Fach through the bowling'green, and Mr. Lewis Richards, in whose NAME the motion for the diversion stood, was frequently called to order by the Chairman (Mr. Fox) for interrupt- ing the speakers. But the climax WAS reached when Mr. Richards was called to order by one of the members. Mr. Richards turning to the speaker, said: "You be QUIET veu thief.'— (Cries of Withdraw.") The Member: I must ask you Mr. Chairman, to request Mr. Richards to withdraw that re- mark. The Chairman I ask you Mr. Richards, to withdraw the remark. I have called you repeat- edly to order for interrupting the meeting, and yoar conduct is such that it will not be per- mitted while I occupy the Chair. Mr. Richards: I will not withdraw. The Chairman: You must bear the conse- quences if you will not withdraw, and something mast be done to prevent you from interrupting the meeting. Ou the motion of Mr. Alfred Hughes, seconded by Mr. William Allen, the majority of the mem- bers voted for the suspension of Mr. Richards. The Chairman: You have been tried, Mr. Richards, by a jury of your own countrymen, and they have suspended you ftom taking any further part in the meeting, and I ask you to withdraw from the meeting. Mr. kichards: Who is going to compel me to withdraw? I challenge you or any other mem- ber to turn me out. I am an eTc-cted member, same as you. i The Chairman: If you had) any spark of decency you would go. ( The Council proceeded withi the business, when Mr. Richards again rose to speak. The Chairman You cannot take any part in the discussion and, if the assistant surveyor were here to-night, I would ask hint t'o remove you. Unless you are quiet I shall ask l>tie Council to adjaurn. The meetings must be, conducted --with-. some sort of decency. Mr. Richards I challenge you to do it. We have as good barristers here as you. The Chairman: You are a dead man to-night and, unless you be quiet, 1 shait. send for the police. After further wrangling Mr. Richards rose and, askmg the Chairman's permission to leave This chamber of horrors," left the room. The motion for the diversion of the Afon Fach was lost by a majority.

JOTI1NGS <& GLEANINGS* THE SCHOLAR ( My days among the Dead are passed: } Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old: My never-failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day. My thoughts are with the Dead; with them I live in long-past years, Their virtues love, their faults condemn, Partake their hopes and tears, And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the Dead; anon My place with them will be, And I, with them, shall travel on Through all futurity; Yet leaving here a name, I trust, That will not perish in the dust. SOUTHEY. THE REVOLT AGAINST DOMESTIC SERVICE. It is positively bewildering to understand how a large, remunerative, and undisputed field for women, that of domestic service, can lie practic- ally untouched, or sought only in the direst necessity. It wousd probably be true to say that despair drives bad women to crime and good to service.— "Lady Phyllis "in The Bystander. THE VANISHING SECOND CLASS. In recent years the intermediate class has been withdrawn from certain traias and branch lines, and it is not unlikely that the removal of second- class accommodation will be further extended in those districts where the patronage of the inter- mediate class is insufficient to justify its reten- tion. It would not, for instance, be commercial to retain indefinitely upon a branch line a class of accommodation the demand for which did not justify its continuation, and this is no doubt the recent experience on the branch lines in Soath Wales, and in some other sections of the system. A railway like the Great Western, which, for the convenience of the travelling community, provides an exceptionally large number of "through carriages" needs relief from the haulage of empty seating accommada- tion, and convert-ion to a class which will con- form to the requirements of the day.—"Aboli- tion of Second Class," in the September Great Western Railway Maqazine. ROYAL DRESS. Great simplicity of dress is the rule at San- dringham, and is always observed by the guests in imitation of their royal hosts. The Queen and Princess Victoria seldom appear during the day-time except in severely simple shirts and short tweed skirts, and perfectly plain straw or felt hats, according to the time of year, with quills or pheasants' wings, ostrich feathers being "taboo," Elaborate tea-gowns, frills and fur- belows and extravagant evening gowns are not in favour, except, of course, on such occasions as festivities in honour of the sovereign's birthday, when beautiful dresses and diamond tiaras make their appearance. But, even on these occasions, the masculine guests, like their royal host, never wear frock dress, but only ordinary evening attire. A certain well-known lady who chose to ignore the rule of plain dressing which obtains -^«artrcJriugiiaar, «ua appeared in different gor- geous toilettes three or four times a day, was not invited again for some time, and was left in no doubt as to the reason.-Madame. JUDGES' AWARDS AT THE FRANCO-BRITISH EXHI- BITION SIGNAL SUCCESS OF ENGLISH FIRM. After judging some thousands of exhibits, the combined English and French juries have now made their awards. The highest possible is the Grand Prix, which is only given in cases of exceptional merit. In the tobacco section only one English firm gained this distinguished honour, which has been given to Messrs. God- frey Phillips and Sons, the manufactures of B. D.V. Cigarettes and Tobacco and Grand Cut tobacco for their exhibit which long ago earned the description of the most wooderful exhibit at the VY hite City." Special interest is attached to Messrs. Phillips's Pavilion because of the series of marvellous machines which have been working there daily and, in awarding the high- est honour possible to their model tobacco factory, there can be no doubt that the jurors were impressed not, only with the quality of the tobacco sold to the public, but also by the extreme care in manufacture which ensures that quality being maintained. TALES TOLD OF "BOBS." As most people knew, Lord Roberts has acquired a big reputation for thoroughness. In this connection there comes the following story. When" Bobs was in India complaints reached him of the quality of the beer which was served at oae of the regimental canteens. He did nothing at the time, but a little later he dressed himseif in a private's uniform and, having skilfully disguised his face, he entered the canteen and sat down casually on a form. Hows the beer?" he asked of a soldier who was standing near. Beer?" was the contempt- uous query. Call this beer? Why, its more than half water!" Bobs ordered a pot and found that his companion was right. Next day, in full uniform of his position, Lord Roberts again visited the canteen and asked for some beer. A pint of very good ale was immediately handed to him, and this time there was no water in it. "Excellent!" exclaimed "Bobs" in a cutting tone. But this is not the same beer you sold me yesterday, when as a private soldier I sat on that seat and paid my money." After that there were no more complaints. Lord Roberts W very fond of childi,en-,ti trait which, it will be remembered, was utilised for the production of a picture presenting an incident which the Gea- enat declared had no foundation in fact. This anecdote however may be more readily accepted. He was visiting one of the Indian bazaars, when a pretty little child, the two-year-old daughter of a shopkeeper, ran into the shop. "Bobs" could not resist the temptation to catch the little one in his arms and pretend to carry her off. But the child's mother thought he Was kidnapping her baby in earnest, and rushed upon him with --¡- the leap of a tigress. She plucked the frightened child from him, and, abusing him soundly in her uawve tongue, drove the aatooibfced hero of a hundred lights out. of doors. "That day at least," says Lord Roberts when he the story, I was defeated in India!"

<* TAHIFF REFORM ITS HELATLN TO UNEMPLOYMENT. Sir Foster Cuuliffe, Unionist candidate for East Denbighshire, ADDRESS the first of A series of meetings at Cefn Mawr, oa Tuesday night. He dealt with the question of Tariff RefJruj, and said there had grown up an apiuioll IN the country that Tariff Reform wouid entirely put AN end to unemployment. That was nonsense. INO reasonable Tariff Returner at home or abroad, would pretend that, it WOllld DO so. Wbat they maintained it would do was to give steadier employment to those in work. It would mean that works which had suddetny to be shut down wouid not be shut down, but would be kept running. It would not touch the casual kind of labour, which had to depend more upon pros- perity of trade than upon any regularity of occupation. NO system would ever arrange for the demand for labour to be exactly equal to the supply. There must be fluctuations; but so long as they could mitigate unemployment in the slightest way they should do" so. He should, however, hesitate to put the country under a SYSTEM of Protection were he not con- vinced THAN it was England's destiny to bind the great colonies of her race into a Bntish Con- federation throughout the world.

SCHOOL RIVALRY IN WALES. INQUIRY AT LLANARMON. A committee representing the Denbighshire- Education Authority held an inquiry on "Friday afternoon, at Grainrhydd, near Mold, relative to an application for the erection of a public ele- mentary Council School in that locality. Mr. W. G. Dodd (chairman of the Education Autho- rity) presided, the other Commissioners being Colonel Sand bach, Messrs. Edward Roberts 1. Wilcoxon,^ and J. Stephen Jones (chairman of the Attendance Committee of the county), with. Mr. John hioberts (deputy clerk of the County Council). Mr. I. H. Roberts, Ruthin, repre- sented the district grouped schools managers. Application was made some montba ago for a school at Grainrhydd, in the parish of Lian- armon-in-Yale, and a petition, signed by a large number of ratepayers, was submitted in support- of it. The evidence at the inquiry was that Graian- rhydd was situated over two miles from the present school at Lsaaarmon, that the children suffered in health, especially in winter, owing to weather and the inaccessibility OF the existing school. For the opposition several ratepayers contend- ed that the present school was iu the centre of the parish and that, if a school were erected at Grainrhydd, other districts would claim equal educational facilities, thus putting the parisn to enormous and unnecessary expense. The Chairman explained that, should the application be granted, half the expense would have to be paid by the parish and the remain- der by the Education Authority. The Committee will report in due course to, the Education Committee.

WREXHAM'S NEW INFIRMARY. On Thursday the eight wards of the new infirmary which the Wrexham Board of Guard- ians have just provided for the treatment of the sick and infirm poor at a cost of £ 12.793, were were formally opened in the presence of a large gathering. Altogether there are 150 beds, and the larger wards measure 88 feet in length 24 feet in width, and are 13 feet high. According to an interesting statement made by Mr. Simon Jones, the CHAIRMAN of the board, CAREFUL pro- vision has been made for the Classification of patients, so that consumptives may be treated with especial care and kept as much as possible in the open air. The facilities for cooking ap- pear to be ample, and on the most modern and approved lines. The furnishing of the infirmary cost £ 1,270 in addition to the sum already- named, and the total effect upon the rates would be ;1-d. in the pound for the next five years and 4 2 |d. in the pouud for the succeeding eight years.. The chairman alluded with gratitude to the in- valuable service which has been rendered by Mr. W. E. Samuel, the chairman of the Building- Committee whose vast experiense enabled the Guardians to economise to the extent of several hundred pounds in the erection of the infirm- ary. Mr. H. R. vVilliams, poor-law inspector, con- gratulated the governors upon their foresight and courage in providing SUCh an excellent infirmary and upon economy which had been exercised, for the cost averaged 185 per bed while the average cost was somewhere about £100. Dr. Moss, the medical officer, expressed satis- faction with the repleteness of everything necessary for the treatment of the patients. Other speeches in prafese of the new accomod- ation were delivered, and subsequently the in- mates and the guests were entertained at tea by Mr. and Mrs. Simon Jones.

He finds as the result'oi his KURS, S an advertisement should appear at least ten times in about the same place in a paper.
