A FISH STOHL-A certain angler once caught a large bream to which he took a strange fancy- so much so that lie desired to keep it with him. and alive, at all times. So he gradually trained it-by keeping it out of the water a second or two longer each time—until at last his com- panion became habituated to living out of the water all the time. Delighted, the angler carried his fish about with him in his pocket. But one day, whilst our angler friend was cross- ing a plank bridge, the bream jumped out of its master's pocket into the water, and was drowned. A WAY OUT.

It is officially announced that the new general manager of the Midland Railway Company is Mr John Mathieson, Government Commissioner on the Victorian Railways, in succession to Mr G. H. Turner, Evan Price, farmer, Tyisha, Llanthew, Brecon, was on Saturday, at the Shire Hall, Brecon, charged on remand with stealing a ewe, the property of Charles Morris, dairyman. After hearing the evidence of several witnesses the Bench discharged the accused. An inquest was held at Waterford on Saturday afternoon on the body of Mr Thomas J. Williams, a solicitor, of Llanelly, who was found dead in bed at the Bridge Hotel on Friday. The evidence showed that the deceased was in the habit of taking laudanum for insomnia. The jury re- turned a verdict of Accidental poisoning. Mr Ritchie, in distributing the prizes of the London Chamber of Commerce at the Mansion House, this week, said a good training in com- mercial matters was a fitting prelude to almost all success in life. He paid a complement to the commercial education of Germany and the United States. The polling at Maidstone 011 Friday to fill the Parliamentary vacancy caused by the unseating on petition of Mr John Barker resulted in the return of the Liberal candidate, Sir F. Evans by a majority of 193. The Liberal majority at the general election was 08. From 1885 to last year the borough returned a Conservative. The Army estimates for the ensuing financial year have been issued, together with the Secretary for War's memorandum. The number of men to be voted is put at 450,000, and the total estimates reach For the war the sum of £ 58,2:V.),000 is included, and it is explained that this provision is based on the assumption that for the first, four months of the financial year—namely, from April to July inclusive—the field force in South Africa will be maintained at full strength, and that a gradual diminution will subsequently take place. In charging the grand jury at Denbighshire Assizes at Ruthin on Tuesday, Justice Mathew said it was quite proper that some witnesses should wish to speak in Welsh, but whether I thqy were at home or abroad there was no more useful language than English. He noticed that those who spoke both Welsh and English ex- pressed themselves very clearly and with better accent than people in the Metropolis and other parts of the kingdom. Wales had to hold her own against many competing interests, and she would do best by possessing herself of the language of the predominant pti-tiier. The result of the polling in the City of London for members of the County Council was declared on Monday, four Conservatives being returned. In Wandsworth, the late members—a Conserva- tive and a Progressive—were re-elected. The recount in East Marylebone has resulted in re- placing a Conservative by an Independent. In- cluding the eight Progressives and two Con- servative aldermen, the new Council is composed of ninety-three Progressives, thirty-three Con- servatives, and two Independents. This is a great reduction in the Conservative representa- ^The trial of Herbert John Bennett for the murder of his wife on the beach at Yarmouth on September 22nd was concluded at the Central Criminal Court on Saturday. Two new witnesses for the defence were called before the prisoner's counsel resumed the address which he began on Friday. The witnesses were engaged in a stationer's shop at Lowestoft, and their evidence was to the effect that a day or two after the murder a man bought a newspaper containing a report of the murder, concerning which he was apparently greatly excited. The man's face was scratched, and Mr Marshall Hall contended that, from his conduct, he was very likely to have been the murderer. After the addresses of counsel the Lord Chief Justice summed up in a speech lasting two hours. The jury, after a shore retirement, returned a verdict of guilty. fit passing sentence of death the Lord Chief Justice said that after the evidence which had been given the jury could not possibly have come to any other conclusion, and he added that be could hold out no hope to the prisoner.

Imperial iarlmmcnt. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. AN INNKEEPER AS SUB-POSTMASTER. Mr O-mond Williams asked the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention had been called to the fact that the uewly appointed postmaster at Llandrillo, Merionethshire, was an innkeeper holding an inn- keeper'* licence, and whether it was in accordance with the Post-office regulations for a postmaster to be an innkeeper. ? Mr A. Chamberlain The person recently ap- pointe,i sub-postmaster of Llandrillo is an inn- keeper, bn tne appointment was made conditional on his giving up that business and providing un- licensed premises for the poss-office. It is not the practice of tn, Department to appoint to such posts JwrilOs h ddiug a licence when other eligible candid-.t s equally suitable could b, found.

Mr Auateri Chamberlain—There is no rogulatio•> directed specially against the Welsh language, but in view of certain p'actiohl diiffcultits—(laugnt-r) —the department follows the regulations of the international convention relating to coa-s, which permit words of ten letters down from .-ertaio languages and these languages do not includ Welsh.

CANDIDATES FOR PUPil, TEACHERSHIPS. An application by a youth who has been at the County School for two years for a post as pupil teasher gave rise to considerable discussion, the question being raised whether pupils who paid for their instruction at the County School were eligible as pupil teachers. The Chairman said surely youag people who had undergone a course ot studies at a secondary schoel were eligible. They would be able to show a diploma showing what they had dorle.-Dr Jones But the rules we I-are governing the appoiuttiien-, cif pupil teachers provides that the candidates must pMSs a qualifying examina- tion, and befoi-e application similar to this cao be considered, the rules mutt bit altered. Hn added that personally he was btrougly in favour of altering the rules so as to admit candidates who had studied for some years at the County School.—The Chair- man was uMhr the imjuvssion tnut the present rules would admit such candidates.— The iliv J, Rhydwen Parry gave. notice that at the next meeting he would move that the rules should he considered by a committee, in the event of can- didates from the County School being at present barred. PUPCL TKACHEK's EXAMINATIONS. The Clerk announced fiat the Board of Trade ith regard to the scheme which the Board had in vogue for the instruction of pupil teacher candidates the County Sctiool. Acceding to Atticie 41 (a) "Pupil teachers required in each year of their engagement to pat-s the examinanon prescribed in Schedule V," how- ever advanced the qualifying examination hyxirtue of which they had admitted. The School Board realised that the operation of such a c ause would be a great inconvenience to the pupil teachers and would to a large extent, defeat the mia of their sclieme, as it was intended allowing pupil teriCuerB to continue the studies commenced With- o"t interruption until they entered college and untrammelled by an intermediate examina ion.— Ttie Clerk read the reply of the Board of Education which was to the effect that tne question would b coasntered in connection with \t.-e tor lie -ming code. —The Chai.nnin That sounds pro- misug.—A similar view was expressed by the other members; and the Clerk incidentally observed that Mr D^rdngfon, H.¡1.I, had made representations to the same effect to tne Board of Education. THE NIGHT SCHOOLS A FAILURE. Mr T. Ii. Jones of :he Festiniog School, wrote stating that all his efforts to make, the night school & complete failure. His last erioi t brought ten or twelve pupils. — Di JIles the same remark would *pply to all the night schools in the district See ing that they were a fnilure, he thought 1ht-y shou'd be cl .s«d.—Tne Rev U Rich «rds d,\}"ir"\l whether any of the schools earned grants and tne Clerk repded "> tne negative whereupon Dr Jon- s said it was a simni* t waste mouey on them.—The other m-mbr r-i expre-.ed a like view. THROUGH THE CLERK. Dr Jones raited the question of goods and articles being ordered by headmasters without the knowledge 01 the Clerk and it was decided to write to one defaulter pointing out that all goods were to be ordered through the Cl rk. APPOINTMENT. w, re r<-ceived for the po*1- of ass stant master to the Higher Grade School, and on the proposition of Dr Evan-, seconded hy Dr Jones, it was agr«ed to appoint Mr Hugh Eiiis Hughes wf ihe Slate Quarries Boys' Scnool, With a view to filling the vacancy at the latter school, it was agreed to usk Mr Owen R. Hughes, Llauberis, one of the three applicants, to apply. ANOTHER SCHEME. The Chairman s-vid that was the last meeting of the Board as at present constituted and he des red to return his hincere thanks to the members for ■.he kind support which they had at all tim^s given him. He wished to ventilate at that meet- ing a scheme which he had had on his mind for some time. Festiniog had done a lot for educa- tion, yet it was in its power to do more. At the recent opening ceremony one of the most practical speeches WAS made by Principal Roberts of the ■Aberystwyth College who opened his to the weakness in the educational system at Festiniog. The weakness surrounded the education of pupils aned thirteen or fourteen leaving the Higher Grade Sohool unless they we:;t in for teaching or could afford to go to the County School tillY wafted at bast a year's time ere they had attained an age admitting them to employment at the quarries It was for the educational authorities of the dis- trict to put their heads together and find a solu- tion to the difficu'ty that was, to afford these lads a course of instruction which would be useful to th?m in their work at th* quarries. His scheme was that the School Board, the Intermediate School Managers and the Technical Instruction Committee should draw out a curriculum provid- ing for instruction in the science department of the County School during school hours for the first year and ah night classes during the succeeding 'wo years. He did not mean that they should b instructed in all the sui jects, but ouly in those which would he of use to them in their future vocation. He opined that such a course of instruction wou!d enable them to make applications for appointments con trolled by the Mining Act in th'< way applica- tions for appointments controlled by the Collier ies Act were made. The scheme which he pro- pounded also provided for the instruction of girls of a like age in cookery, laundry, and hygifue at the Girls' Higher Grade School. The scheme would natnrally involve an additional teaching staff, but he held that they had a'most enough money to overcome the difficulty in the sum now spent; on the evening classes which hllo-i turned out a failure. He hoped that the Board would consider the matter at a future meeting. —The Vice-chairman proposed a vote of thunks to the Chairman for the able, impartial, and faithful manner in which he had discharged his dntifs during the past three years and pointerl out that he had made fifty-four attendances out of a possible fifty-*i)r. (Applause.) It was his tact in the chair which accounted for he absence of the friction one time so prevalent in their de- liberations.—The Rev David Richards in second- ing, said undoubtedly the proceedings of the Board had remarkably free from the discord —the incessant quarrels—which characterised the dpJioerdions of most publio boriies. This w*s partly due to the tact of the Chairman, but it was alsn due to the respect which the members enter- tained fcr the and to the respect which they entertained for themselves (Hear, hear.) Another factor contributing to the harmony was the frequent absence, of those membeis fond of a row. (Loud laughter.) He trusted to see the members re-elected and whatever scheme was mooted for the educational advonce of Festiniog a.U of them could be depended on to speak and vote conscientiously. (Hear, hear.)—The Board theo rose. URBAN COUNCIL ELECTION, J LIST OF NOMINATIONS. The following have been nominated for the nine wards in the district.

The crossing of the Orange River appearti to have b- en accompli8h. db,. a combination of marvellous skill and dodged pluck. The correspondent, in d scribing this failure t. capture the famous Boer leader, ascribes it in a measure to lack of sufficient initiative authority possessed by individual commanders in the field. Strict official siience is still maintained as t » the negotiations, if nny, now in progr- as with Bctha.
