What a long way the world is from perfection! PRIVILEGED. Now that Mr. Lloyd-George is a Cabi- net Minister, and a successful one, the mean and spiteful can tell lies about him almost unchecked. The wise and honourable will not believe anything they hear. We do not believe he is a bit worse now than when he first became the member for the Carnarvon Boroughs, a constituency which he has brought into great and creditable prominence. There are some very dirty, mean, spiteful creatures in the world. They never ruled it, but have often soiled it. A CARDIFF RESURRECTION. Things are really looking up at Cardiff. In the obituary notices of the Cardiff papers not only are the public told that "gentlemen" only can attend, but last week this further notice was given: "To rise at two p.m." Is not this a some- what premature resurrection? Wonder- ful place, Cardiff. AN IRISH GHOST. In Tyrone there is trouble about a ghost which appears regularly dressed in white. Now there is not much to be said against ghosts of people, but ghosts of clothes are too much. Besides, why cannot ghosts appear in the daytime. This Irish ghost only appears at night! Ghosts are rather out of date even in Ireland. Ghosts with e-othes on are indecent. DEAD WVE. He found, alas, her love for him was dead. He kept the secret to himself and grieved. One day she smiled at him and lightly said: "You look like one who mourns—like one bereaved." He turned, and just as lightly made reply: "There are some things we lose and some that die." She understood: then both went on their way, And only law remained from that sad day. THE OTHER SORT. The "South Wales Daily News" says! that Mr. Lloyd-George has suffered a good deal lately from local rheumatism. What is the foreign sort like? Mr Lloyd- George himself says that he was never in a better state of health than at the pre- sent time. Nothing like local diseases: none of your foreign sorts for a true patriot. A LOST SA VIOUR. A girl stood in the crowded streets un- known Her home among the hills was far away. Betrayed, forsaken, there she stood alone All said and done that she could do or say. A woman looked at her and saw her plight: "Come home with me," she said, and took her hand. "I'll give you food and shelter for the night; You need not speak: I think I under- stand." Next day the woman went and pawned some clothes, And sent the girl away unto her friends; Thus she was saved from life the woman loathes— A life that damns and blasts and slays and rends: The girl was saved. Her saviour was lost— Or, so to those with mortal ken it seemed; But, may be, when the stream of death she crossed She found that she had also been redeemed. The Coast. J.G.

IXgan Recital.—On Friday evening an organ recatai was given at Tabernacle Chapel, Mr J. Charles McLean, F.R.C.O., of Porcmadoo, the newly-appjintea or- ganist, presiding at the organ. His per- lormances included compositions by Men- delssohn, E. H. Lemace, Greig, Bach, Dr Joseph Jrarry, and Handel. The audience were evidently satisfied with the pro- gramme and the way in which i' was gone through. They listened most attentively to what is cermed "pure music," which included the classical production-i of old as well as modern masters. From an educative as well as financial stand- point, the redeal was looked upon as a success, and Mr McLean hopes that it is only the first of a series to be run at popular prices. Miss M. Kmg Sarah gave excellent renderings of "Hear ye, Israel" and "Save me, 0 God." In the duett Un yn rhagor," with Mr Evan Lewis, her singing was particularly appreciated and- although it was requested 'chat no ap- plause should be given, the audience were not satisfied without an encore. Mr Evan Lewis sang in a masterly skyle, but it was a mistake to select two solos from "Judas Maccabeus." He also sang Yr Hen rddor" with splendid effect.

It was no small thing for Vv s to find, after the secondary education system had been in existence twelve yfears only 'chat there were now 12,000 child- ren in the schools. That progress was an indication of the awakening of the tmnd of the nation, and that awakening was noc only going on in Wales but in the United Kingdom and throughout the empire.

C. Richardes, the Misses Richardes (ii), Master Richardes, Miss Powell, Miss Hawkins, Colonel Feilden, Messrs R. G. Smith, Hughes-Bonsall, jun., J Wood, J. Owen, H. Roberts, Stanley Jones, T. Row- ley, B. E. Morgan, Radcliffe Morgan, R K. Jenkins, and E. Davies, eto. A move rwas made at twelve o'clock and after drawing a couple of fields the beagles arrived on Brygnau, led there by Alick Vaughan who knows the most likely spots to find sport and was sucoestul on this occasion. The hounds drove her at a clinking pace on to Brynmor road which &he followed for some distance. Being headed, she made a short circle on the upper field of Brynmor before crossing the road for Penglaise Fach. Thence they pressed her hard over Tyhen to Brynliwyd side land facing the sea where chey had a Brief check, madam having squatted. The .Bounds, however, soon had her going again and chivied on to Tyhen. Runningche length of the farm, she arrived at Bryn- carnau, and past where she was found, afcer which she went another circle over the same ground up to Bryncarnau where she was lovt after a capital run of an hour and twenty minutes. No. 2 hare was set going out of the rushes under Penglaise Fach. She made up the hill and on to Llainau, going to the left for Tyhen wood. Before reaching it she made a right hand turn for Cwm Woods and, after running the length 01 the wood she broke for Bryncarnau, thence on to the Clarach road. Here the hcunds getting a view, chivied her down the road tor some distance and eventually ran into Ber close to Plas Cefnhendre, braking her up at the end of twenty-five minutes. Afterwards, the Master made a bee line for Penglaise dining room, the field fol- lowing him where they found a sumptuous luncheon provided by Mr. and Mrs Rich- ardes. A few hints to followers of hounds may be valuable. When hounds are run- ning, do not too closely press on them, but give plenty of room to turn. You will see more of the hunting and not drive the hounds over the scent When 'the hounds have checked and the huntsman is making a cast do not follow him about, but stay as quiet as possible and avoid cracking o whips. When hounds are runnng a road do not get close behind them M you may drive them far over scent ftg perhaps spoil a good day's sport,
NhW QUAY
NhW QUAY Storm.—The storm of Wednesday week last was felt in full force at New Quay, but fortunately no serious damage was done. The s.s. "Telephone," which hap- pened to be in the harbour, was driven Jiigh up on the sand and will not be able to leave until Thursday. Damage was done to a new building in Glanraor-ter- race. Tiles were displaced on several roofs. Operetta.—One of the most successful operettas ever" given in this district was heard at the Parish Hall on Tuesday even- ing. The room was uncomfortably full 0 people from far and near. The meeting commenced at 7-30 p.m., but the building was packed long before starting. Tht operetta was the well-known and popular one entitled "Golden Hair and the three Bears." The characters were personated by the following:—"Golden hair," Miss ivLarian Grace Evans, Francis-street; •'Woodland Queen," Miss Glad Jenkins, ivl'lford House; "Bard," the Rev D Sinnet Davies, curate; "Faithful," Miss Lizz e Davies, Llainwen; "Lightfoot," Katie Maelota Thomas, Rock-Street; "Frailty,' Miss Annie Evans, Evans' Hall; "A .iry. J: M'g Marion Davies, Post Office; "Will-of- -the-Wisp," Miss Dolly Evans, Church- street; "Truthful," Miss Annie L Davies, Park-street; "Constant," Miss Florrie Evans, Star Cafe; "Big Bruin," Mr. J. L. Jones, Marine-terrace; "Mammy Mr R. S Hughes, Star Cafe; "Tiny Cub," Cecil Wheeler, Watch House. 5he quar- tette oonsisted of Misses Nellie Jame Police Station, Sarah J. Williams, Rock- street; Delta Thomas, Rock-s'creet, Annie Louis Davies, Park-street. The other /llVesft ohildren were the Misses Hilda Evans, Morfa Gwyn, Lizzie Williams, Rock-street, Sue Jones, Bronwylfa, May Evans, Evans' Hall, and Mona Davies, Park-street. The opere'cta throughout bore marks of hard work and everything went off smoothly. Praise is due to all who laboured to bring the operetta to a sucessful end, but especially to Miss Evans. Francis-street, and Miss Patrick, George- stret, who have toiled unceasingly during the last months to teach 'che children. An other similar operetta will be performed in a short time at the same place. The pro- ceeds were towards the organ fund. Improvement.—An improvement has been made in the lighting of the place by fixing a new Carmien gas lamp near the Watch House, instead of the ordinary oil lamp. If more of these lamps were fixed in the place, New Quay could compete with any town in Waloes of the size for the õest light, with the exception of Aber- aeron.

CRICCIETH.
CRICCIETH. SPECIAL CO UNTIL MEETING. A special meeting of the Urban District Councf-1 was held on Thursday, night week, present Mr J. T. Jones, chairman, pre- siding; Dr. Gladstone Jones, Messrs. J. W. Roberts, W. WatEn, G. P. Wil- hams., J. W. Bovren, D. O. Price, T. Burnell, Captain Hugh Griffith, Robert Davies, VV. Rowland Hughes, John Hum- phreys, deputy cierk; Isaac Davies, asjsitant clerk; and Morris Williams, surveyor and inspector. The Deputy Clerk anounced that he had convened che meeting as the result of the following requisition:—" We, the under- signed members of the Cnccieth Urban Council, ia view of the fact that it is the intention of certain ratepayers, of the district to petition the Local Government lSoard to take action 'co have an alleged nuisiance at the back of No. 40, IUgÜ. btreet, abated, hereby authorise you to summon an extraordinary meeting of the Gouncii for the purpose of reconsidering several petitions "from inhabitants Ol High-street in winch oomplaints were made to che Council as to the alleged nUi\mce and to consider what steps should be taken in the matter, as we con- s der that bringing it 'co the notice of the Local Government Board and the con- sequent proceedings would be very detr mental to Criccieth. Dated November 13th, WiMam Watkin, D. Livingstone Davies, D. O. Price. Mr Watkin said the requisition was drawn ot on information being received onat the petitioners, "dissatisfied with tiu two resolutions passed by the Council, in- tended appealing to the Local Govern- ment Board. It was obvious that the consequences of an appeal would greatly harm Criccieth. At this poiat, the question whether the Thatter should be 'created publicy was raised. Mr. Robert Dav'ies proposed that it should be public, Mr. Watkin seconded, andr it was agreed to unanimously Mr Watkin, proceeding, said the Coun- cil's first reply was that it was intended making new bylaws to meet the source of complaint, and the second reply wa: that the Council were prepared to take proceedings on authoritative evidence of a nuisance. As to the first repy, it was that a long time would e.ap.vo be- fore the bylaws came into force, and re- garding the second reply it should be borne in mind that Dr. Eraser, the medi- cal officer, had reported upon the matter eight years ago, whilst reports had also been made by the Sanitary Inspector. The latter on one occasion reported that the pigsties, of Mr. J. W. Roberts were within thirty-two feet of an addition to che dwelling house next door; a.nd the Clerk Had 'cold them that although the pigsties were there before the addi- and were at that time the requisite [ustance, they were now a violation of the bylaws. He might say, however, that he did not agree with the Clerk's view on this point. Excepting Mr Hughes and Councillor J. W. Bowen, ali residents in the locality —■ and some of them the principal ratepayers in the town —had signed the petition and he believed the Council should give them a more de- finite replY. The Public Health Act said in the event of a nuisance it was only necessary for two ratepayers to petition the local "authority. He proposed that Dr. Eraser, the medical officer, should be asked to report upon the place. If Dr. Eraser reported that there was a nuis- ance, then it would be the duty of th Council to take legal proceedings against those responsible for the nuisance. They all knew 'chat Councillor Roberts, had spent much money on the place and they would not like to do him harm. On the other hand, it was duty) of the Coun- cil to refrain from harming other rate- payers. The Deputy Clerk, explaining the legal position, said up to the present no speci- fic charge of a nuisance had btv brought forward. Captain Hugh Griffith had said that he did not object to the pigsties or to the p;gs. Before moving, the Council must satisfy them- selves (1) that there was a nuisance; and (2) as to what was the cause of such nuis- ance. Granting that there was a nuis- ance, it might not be there arc. all) times, and it was possible Dr. Eraser might come down when it was not there. He had consulted the Urban District Coun- cils' Assooiat ton on the point raised by Mr Watkin and Was assured that a pig- sty became a nuisance if a house was Duilt within the prescribed distance be- fore or after the pigsty, and that the owner of the pigsty gould be called upon to remove it. But whether it was within the prescribed distance or not the Coun- cil could in the event of a nuisance take legal proceedings under the Public HeaJth Act with a view to preventing the owner keeping pigs at all. As regards the Nox-ious Trades Acts, it Was his opinion that Mr Roberts had done all that was necessary in the way of cleaning and dis- infecting to keep himself on the right side of that statute. Captain Hugh Griffith having: remarked that the nuisance complained of was specified in the 'cwo petitions, said he wanted to be perfectly fair and honest. It was said at the last meeting tha'c there JCacl only been one direct comprint. The Chairman did not think anything would be gained by going back. The Council should now cake steps to satisfy themselves that there was ground for a case, and before taking legal proceed- ings. it Would be necessary to formal notice to Mr John W. Roberts calling upon him to remove the nuisance. Captain Griffith—I want to remove any suggestion of unfairness. I now ask the Sanitary Inspector how many com- plaints about chia place he has recorded in his journal. I wish to disprove wha was said at the last meeting. The Chairman—That will not help us. Captain Griffith—I want to clear away a wrong impression. The Chairman—I think we had better keep to facts as they stand to-day. Much has been said about fowls. 'Why don't you proceed against him privately on that head ? If the. fowls disturb your pleep, you can ask for them to be re- moved. Mr Richard Jones, however does not object to the fowls. He keeps fowls himself, but says Mr Roberts' fowls are more noisy than his. We have only one proposition before us. Does any- body second Mr Watkin. Mr D. O. Price-l do. The Chairman said it was very neces- sary before going before the magistrates to feel certain that there would be con- viction. The Council would lose influ- ence if the case was dismissed. Mr. Price—We shall know where we are after Dr. Fraser has reported. The Chairman said he should like the petitioners to understand that if they went to the Local Government Board, the latter would do nothing except through the Council. The resolution was put and declared carried unanimously, but it transpired that Councillors T. Burnell and J. W. Roberts did not vote, whereupon the Chairman declared "Carried nem con." Mr Robert Davies asked why the present bylaws, were not put in force? It seemed 'co him that there was favour- itista, The Chairman—Why don't ytou pro- pose it ? Mr Davies—I did but was not seconded. Mr JJavores proceeding to discuss the mat- tcjr, the Chairman ruled him out of order. He said 'che meeting was con- vened for a specific purpose and the Coun- cil could discuss nothing else.
