Hp ;1,111 the &oa»t NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. "MEIRION."—Do not be impatient. The people will judge. It would be a mistake for you to take any action. I v/ili trust the people notwithstand- ing what has happened in this place or that. *■'WORKMAN."—There is plenty of room in the colonies. I never like to recom- mend emigration as there are people who never feel compensated for loss of home. I would certainly emigrate rather than be subject to aaiytkiug akin to pauperism. RATE PAYF.R. "-If the ratepayers are satisfied, it is not for me to object. I do not understand the satisfaction, but then there are many other things I do not understand at Aberystwyth. "STUDENT."—Lady Morgan, novelist, Q author of the "Wild Irish Girl," was born in 1783 and died in 1859. GOLD IN T-HE SEA. Once more the notion has cropped up of obtaining gold from the sea. It is said that a London syndicate has established works at Vazon ,Bay, Guernsey, for the extraction of gold from sea water. The water will be drawn from the bay by powerful pumps into a large tank, in .which the gold will be extracted by pro- cess o? (precipitation. The present operations are of an experimental nature. There are said to be two grains of gold in a ton of sea water. There are seven .thousand grains in a pound weight, so that three thousand five hundred tons of sea water would have to be treated in order to obtain £50. By the time the cost in wages and pumping and plant and ell sorts of other things had been reckoned up i.n dealing with fhree thousand five (hundred tons of sea water, even if the two grains of gold per ton were obtained, there would, I fear, be nothing left. No, I do not think I will try to become a millionaire by extracting gold from sea .water. I would rather try to extract the required gold from the sort of people who -believe in palmistry and faith healing. THE LEARNING OF CHAFTS. I served seven years as an apprentice to learn the art and mystery of the craft of printing. I still believe in apprentice- ship, where possible, as the best means of training youths, but times have altered since 1855 and apprenticeships are now practi-oally impossible owing to many changes, both in the crafts and in the relations of youths to employment and employers. I am aware that there is now a reaction in favour of apprenticeship but I do not think the old system will ever be ,brought back again. The other day I read that "the fact is now being generally acknowledged by all public educational authorities that the system of apprentice- ship to trades is one of the most import- iant methods of solving the unemployed question." Th& 'thing is practically im- possible, as I will try to show. WTien I was an apprentice there was very little machinery in an ordinary printing works, or in any other workshop. Now there are m/achmes for everything, not only i<n printing offices, but in every place wher-: crafts are practised. In the fifties a printer set up the type, printed the shepts, folded them pressed them, stitched them, and cut the edges. In thes.e days the type is set by machinery, the printing is done by machinery, the paper is cut by machinery, the books are stitched by machinery, and they are trimmed by machinery. In a sense it is impossible to apprentice a youth to printing now as youths were apprenticed in 1855. What is true of printing is true of all sorts of crafts. Nobody does all the work from first to last in a craft as in the old days. There are sewing machines, plan- ing machines, drilling machines, and machines of a thousand other kinds. In small towns and rural districts there were all sorts of crafts sixty years ago, but now the craftsmen have passed away and the crafts are carried on in great workshops, full of all sorts of complicated machines which do their work with a speed and all (accuracy which are bewildering. The workmen tend the machines In the old days a youth was apprenticed and he learnt his craft thoroughly and was master of it from first to last. Now a youth is not apprenticed, but is. taken into L works and he has to pick up some branch, or more branches than one, and in the end he finds his place or docs not find it but he is not a craftsman in the old sen so of tb(? term. j Another reason for the decay of appren- ticeship is the unwillingness of youths to obey those in authority. They will not be taught, and it is so impossible to exercise command over them that employers will not take the risks that are entailed by apprenticeship. The employer does net want apprentices who feel that they are making the fortunes of those who aro teaching them a craft. The modern apprentice is more or less a nuisanco ow:ng to the greater freedom of these days compared with the freedom of fifty or sixty years ago. In the fifties an apprentice had to do as he was told with- out question. In these days he will only do what he pleases, and the result is that he learns nothing until experience teaches him the value of obedience. In these days the great task of workmen is ho prepare work for the machines. The workmen do not do the work themselves. They get it ready for the machines. t I do not believe that there can be a revival of the apprenticeship system. trbe conditions of work and the relation- Bib ips of workmen have all been altered, as Wily those can realise who "served their time" fifty years ago and are now employers ¡ of labour under modern conditions. I think I learnt more as an apprentice than I have ever learnt since. That first seven years was not the only apprenticeship I served to crafts. SNOBOPOLIS. At Cardiff, when deaths are announced, it is customary to state when the funeral will be and that the attendance will be confined to "gentlemen only." Wonder- ful PI-lee Cardiff. The right name for it is Snobopolis. PROTECTING FOOLS. I do not see how palmist fools can be protected. A person who thinks that his character, or his temperament, or his future, or his final fate can be read by a palmist or a phrenologist is hopeless. He must give his money and take his chance. That is not the sort of person to be helped by a paragraph in a newspaper like this. The palmist knows as soon as he sees his customer that he is more or less dotty, and he acts accordingly.

ECHO OF THE XEJL-l.!
ECHO OF THE XEJL-l. Rubbish! INCREASE IN MODESTY. Owing to a considerable in,crease of modesty in the United States, Venuses, Cupids, and Apolios will in future have to wear shirts or shifts, according to their Siex. A naked marble statue is more than the modest American can bear LEFT OUT. There has been a conference of Cardi- ganshire poets. I was not asked to b/e present and did not even know that a conference had been held until I saw a notice of it in the newspapers. Then I was sad. Just think of being a real, live poet., and in some respects not a small one, and not being thought worthy of inclusion in the list of those who have known poetic facts and fancies—heights and depths, glooms and raptures. Ah, well, there is no help for it. Poets are familiar with neglect, and it can often be traced in their verse. LEFT. He was old. Time had marred his face and form. All those who once bad loved him were now dead And he had nothing left but memories That lay far back when youth and hope were strong. He had outlived his fears and it was thought. He also had outlived the need for love. One day his grandson, standing by his chair, Said, "Grandpa, were you once a little boy "And will I grow to be as old as you?" The old man said Yes, I was onoe a boy, Smaller than you a lot, and voun<ror too. "But that is many, many-years ago. As you will understand in days to come, •" When you are not less, old than I am now." "Grandpa, are you not sorry you are old, "And cannot go abollt or piav at baft, "But are left here alone all through the day not a single one to talk to VOI1?" The old man deftly dashed a tear aside And placed his hand upon the young boy's head. Silent he sat awhile, then slowly said: The old are not as lonely as you think, Xor have they any pressing need to talk, For they can see all that they ever knew. "But tell me. grandpa, why do we crow old— And have baltt heads and wrinkles on our face: "I am much older than some other boys, "But I don't want to be an old, old man." The boy went off to join his mates at play The old man seemed to settle down to sleep. But both were thinking of what each had said And asking if the other understood. Next day the conversation was renewed And something near akin to love was theirs. The boy was much more staid; the man more young And both had passed from mere relation- ship. They now were friends and he who once was left Found age was lifted and fresh joy was born. WHY. 0, WHY? A Nonconformist minister says: "I was never such a fool as to think that people ever came to church to hear me preach." Then, why, 0, why does that minister preach ? Is it just because lie :5 paid for it? TFE SHALf. SEE Lord Strathcona predicts that Canada will have a population of 100,000,003 before the close of this century. If he is wrong, I shall remind him of this prophesy. I suppose his lordship would not take a bet on the subject. HAS HE? "Has my husband any right to go for holidays without taking me?" was a poser presented by a woman at Clerkenwell Policy Court. Put in another way, this question really asks whether a. husband has any right to have a holiday at all, for how could some husbands have holidays if their wives went. with them? STILL THEY COME. Liverpool, it is said, is going to provide Merionethshire with another possible or impossible candidate. He is prepared to give a pledge that he will not accept any employment until Disestablishment has been accomplished. What? Would he not even accept a knighthood, or a baronetcy, or a. peerage? How brimming over with self-sacrifice some people are. CELT A INLY. A Manchester paper wants to know if Englishmen are inferior to Germans? YfS, some of them! J CHEAT BIJJ. Mr. Lloyd George's Development of Roads and Improvement Bill will do as much for the whole of the United King- dom as his London Port Bill which is now an Act. will do for London. If there is any Liberal and Conservative conflict over this measure then the squabblers do not care for the welfare of the people, and that fact must be brought home at any cost to the tens of millions of people who would be helped by that measure to a safer, freer, and more prosperous and comfortable life. A Bill of this kind has been needed for centuries and it should be passed with all the speed that is possible and with all the help that wisdom can afforu. It will save land, help locomotion, prevent sick- ness, increase prosperity, prevent dis aster, and develop national and loclal resources. CLE AX corrs. A Cincinatti owner of £75,000 worth of Jersey oows declares that he has largely increased the quantity and quality of his milk, because the cows are bathed and their teeth are cleaned with a brush daily. I believe in clean cows and am pre- pared to start a. fund to provide brushes to clean the teeth in the upper jaw of all the cows in Wales if somebody will undertake to provide brushes to clean the teeth in the lower jaw of all the cows. This is an offer that ought to be seized with avidity. The teeth of cows certainly ought to be cleaned, especially the upper jaw teeth. The Coast. J.G.

Davies) and George Fossett Roberts, Esqrs., Henry Sutcliffe, Saxatile, Borth, was charged with having driven a motor car to the public danger on the highway at Glanlerry, Llanfihangel Geneu'rglyn. Borth. on August 24th.—Mr Meuric Hughes appeared for the defena- ant.—W Ette Potter, examined by the Chief Constable, said on Tuesday night there were five ladies on cycles besides himself and all had lights. After going a short distance they heard horses and later saw lights of a motor car coming round the corner. The horses were on the near side. As the cyclists met the horses, the driver of the motor car swerved. The horses were ridden, by Mr. and MiarJ Jones. The young woman in front of him was in great danger.—Mr Mr. Hughes It was a dark night and when lie first saw the car it was about sixty yards away and coming at a fast pace. He would call ten miles an hour fast on a night like that. He stuck himself in the wav and the car stopped. He asked defendant the devil do you mean?" and in reply he said "I could not help it." Hfç, usea no "tronger language than that., — Miss Olwen Morris said she was somewhere near a farm about ten minutes from Borth in the Glanlerry direction and there were four others with her and a gentleman. She did not see the horses until they had stopped. She was in front of the others, on the left side of the road and near the hedge. She saw a motor car coming from Llanfihangel a'nd had to cycle on to the grass as there was no room on the road. The car passed them a little ana then stopped.—Mr. Wr. Jones, The Poplars, Penllwyn, said he was with his daughter out riding and had told her to keep close behind as there was a motor coming. He heard her call out and ran back and took hold of the pony. The motor aid not stop; but might have eased down. It had very powerful lights.—Defendant said lie stayed at Borth and remembered coming from Aberystwyth, starting about 8-15, and met some people about nine o'clock. He sounded the horn when coming round the corner.—By Dr. Hughes: The horse was in front when he pulled up. He could not pass them, was going about ten miles an hour, and knew the road well.—By the Chief Constable: He did not know whether the lady had to go on to the grass. He had an interview with Mr. Potter on the beach.—Defendant was fined £1 including costs and his licence was endorsed. University of Wales.—On September 1st Principal T. F. Roberts, Aberystwyth, completed his term of two years as vice- chancellor of fShe University of Wales. His successor is Principal E. H.

Oldham Wakes.—For this week the millions of spindles which make Oldham famous as a great cotton centre are idle and a large proportion of the town's popn. lation of 380,000 are far away from their usual haunts, seeking health and recreation by the seaside. Oldhnm "wakes" have something more than a local fame, for they possess much that is unique. It is com- puted that over £ 100,000 has been dis- tributed by the local going-away clubs to which the operatives contribute during the year so that when the holiday season comes they may hie them to seaside places and there live for a week at the rate of £5,000 a year. Cotton trade depression has served to reduce the amount to be dis. tributed. but there was no trace of carking care on the faces of the thousands who left the town on Friday night. A feature of "wakes" week is number of weddings which took place. Heavily packed trains arrived in Aberystwyth early on Saturday mornhig bringing 1,200 visitors from Old. ham for the week. Petty Sessions.—The weekly sessions were held on Tuesday ait jhe Town Hal!, the magistrates present being W. Thomas, Esq., and Capt. D James. With the excep- tion of an undefended affiliation case, the only business was the granting of one hour's extension to Mr Perks, the man- ager of the Skating Rink, on the occasion of his benefit on September 8th. Obituary.—The death occurred on Thursday night of last week of Lewis, second son of Mr R. Davies, Queen-street. The deceased was nineteen years of age, was apprenticed to Mr David Watkins, painiier and plumber, and was a member of the 1st Cardigan Territorials. He took a chill about two months ago at the annual camp of the Territorials which de- veloped into pleurisy and ended fatally on Thursday in spite of medical skill and careful nursing. He was of genial disposi- tion and had a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon when the mourners were Mr and Mrs Davies, father and mother; Messrs John and R J Davies, brothers; Miss Catherine Davies, sister; Mrs Saunders, North- parade Mrs and Miss Evans, Llanrhystyd (aunts); Mrs Jones, Commins Coch (aunt); Mr and Mrs Davies, High-street (cousins); Miss L. Jones, North-parade (cousin). The funeral was attended by members of the Territorials in uniform who, with a few other friends, sent a beautiful wreath, as did the employees of Mr. Watkins and the "Cambrian News" offices; Miss James, Monumental Works, Llanbadarn and Mrs and Miss Evans, Morlan House, Llanrhystyd. The bearers consisted of six members of the Territor- ials. The service at the house and at the graveside was conducted by the Rev H. Evans, past-or of Penrhyncoch Baptist Church. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr J. Lewis Evans, Great Darkgate-street. Trip to Fishguard.—Yesterday (Thurs- day) morning, the "Francis Drake" made a days trip from Aberystwyth to Fish- guard with about 100 passengers. The steamer arrived in the bav liefore eight o'clock and by continuous screeching of the syren caused great disturbance to visitors who were aroused from their sleeo. If the trip had been made better known, a larger number of visitors would have availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the new port of call. Inquest.—On Friday afternoon an in- quest was held at the Infirmary into the death of Herbert Cutler, twenty-six years of age, which occurred on August 25td-t at the Infirmary whither he was ad- mitted in the evening of that day after having met with an accident by falling under an empty waggon and broken his leg. The inquest was held by Dr Bas- set Jones, deputy coroner. The jury were Mr Wm. Thomas, foreman; David Davies, Trevor-road; Evan Lloyd, North- gate-street; O. Griffith Ellis, Llewelyn Samuel, and Thomas Evans, Northgate- street; Evan Lewis, Penglaise-terrace; John Roberts, Cambrian-street: Hugh Oliver, L nion-s{reet; Joseph Martin, Thespian-street; Wm. Williams, North- parade; and John Earsons, Vaenor- street.—-Thomas Smith, foreman plate- layer, Glandenys, said he identified the body as a chap who was working with him between Glandenys and the Junction on the Lampeter-Aberayron railway but did not know his name. He did not see the accident and could not say how it happened. There were five or six men working at the truck and no one could say how it happened. Asked if de- ceased was ill, witness said he was one of the finest men he had ever worked with. The accident happened about five o'clock. He heard a shout and went back and saw the deceased on the side of the road. There were two waggons and they were gone. He said "Lift up my leg." They took him to the office and sent a man straight away for a doctor who came from Lampeter in about an hour and told them to take the deceased to Aberystwyth or Carmarthen. He was sent from Derry Ormond by tshe seven train to Aberyst- wyth, arriving at 7.50. The line was fit tor an engine or anything. The truck was empty. He had been workingtliere for a fortnight the same and nobody could say how the accident happened, but "iiought it was his own fault. He was not a careless man, but very quick in jumping to do what was told him. He could not get there quick enough. They did not know his name was Cutler, but called him "Brummy."—E. Parker, plate- layer, at present at Tanlan, Silian, said he knew "Brum" and had been working with him for the past fortnight. He came there and asked for work the same as the rest. There were eight men sent Vo the Junction to shove twenty-three trucks for the engine to catch them. Asked what; time the accident occurred, witness said the men remarked as men do that there were nine more trucks to move which would bring them up to half-past five, so the accident must have happened about five. He and t'he deceased were on the Tregaron side of the trucks when he heard deceased cry out "Oh, my leg." The trucks were going about four miles an hour as one might walk easily. After the accident they bags for deceased to lie on, and after the doctor had been there took deceased to Derry Ormond in I a trap. There were two trucks coupled togeitier. Deceased was at the end of I the first truck and witness at the end of the second about twenty-five yards away and he was of opinion de- ceased slipped and fell bemeatli the second truck. Had never been told to go in between the trucks and shove. De- ceased's head was lying fuce downward away from the rail and the wheels were going over his leg.—Percy Walter Ber- tin, managing engineer for Messrs Kn: tall and Co., Manchester, contractors for the making of the line, recognized de- ceased as Herbert Cutler, lie being on the books in that name. He heard since that he was from Birmingham. Examined the line the day afterward and had seen it an hour before the acci- dent. It was perfectly good. There was no fault with the road. It was unnecessary instruction to tell a man not to go in the four foot and push. It would be suicidal.—The Coroner said that men did suicidal things.—Mr Bertin said deceased was experienced in railway work and to tell him not to go in tflie four foot to push would be equivalent to telling him not to chop his head off.— Smith, recalled, said he always told men every day not to go in the fourfoot. —Inspector Phillips produced an identifying certificate of deceased found at his lodgings in Lampeter. He was a pensioner, private Herbert. Cutler, Royal Welsh Fusiliers and Army Re- serve.—Dr Ivor Jones Davies, locum tenum at the Infirmary, said deceased was admitted about a quarter past eight suffering acutely from shock as the result of tflie accident and loss ofi blood. He had received a compound facture of two bones of the right leg and a punctured wound into the left "knee joint and superficial bruises on the left leg. There was an effusion of blood iiro both knee joints, and he was bleeding freely from the fractured leg- Applied a tourniquet and administered stimu- lants, intending if he recovered to amputate the leg. The man, however, died at 10-15 from shock and the loss of blood. He must have bled profusely all the way up.—In reply to the Foreman, witness said tbJat proper measures had been taken at Lampetier and everything had been done that could be done.—Mr Bertin added that Cutler was treated immediately after the accident by a trained first aid man and bandaged on the spot.—The Jury found that deceased died as the result of falling under a railway waggon and that no blame attached to anyone.—The body was buried at the expense of Messrs Nutvall and Co., the contractors. It is said that Cutler missed being in the Newport Dock fatality by ten minutes. Football Items.—For the present season, the Town Club has been already entered for the English Cup, Welsh, Senior and Amateur Cups, and the Mont- gomeryshire and League.—On September 18th, the Town team will play the Druids in the preliminary round of the English Cup competition on the Smithfield Ground.—Next Saturday it is understood practice will take place on the Smithfield Ground and all footballers are invited to turn out.—The annual meeting of the Club will take place at the Lion Hotel at 8.30 on Friday evening when members and players are requested to attend so as not to delay the opening of the season Mr Ernest Peake, street, came out well in the practice matches at Liverpool. The "Sunday Chronicle" states "that) Peake was a worker and bears the stamp of class," and the Athletic News" of this week also says "that Peake shaped in gooq style and it; will be difficult to keep this Welsh international out of the League eleven." —Mr Bob Peake left last week for Cwm- parc and will play for that Club this season. l amLoiufenbt ooaf t thSe astuubrsdcary iptioFnus ndan.—d Tchole lecttiootnasl ) received by the Mayor toward the Lifeboat Saturday Fund on August 23rd was zt38 18s 2d., including 94 lis. 6d. by private sub- scriptions L4 2s. collected at the Waterloo and Marine Hotels; L3 19s. 6d. received by Messrs.

She took an active part in connection with Salem Chapel where she had been a mem- ber from the commencement. Previously she attended Shiloh Chapel and Skinner- street Mission Room. Miss Edwards was a brilliant Welsh and German scholar and took great delight in translating literary matter. She had won prizes at eistedd- fodau, and at the National Eisteddfod in 1887, and was a prize-winner for essays at the flourishing literary and debating society which met some years ago at the Old Assembly Rooms, numbering over 300 members of all denominations. She was among the first women students to attend classes at the University College where she was regarded as one of the best students, being highly cultured and intellectual. A member of a musical family, it was natural that she took Iceon interest in singing -and was a prominent supporter of the old choral society. Latterly, she had devoted time and attention to the study of Esperanto, in which she became proficient and was able to read the classics of the various nations through the medium of the universal language. She was greatly liked in the town, where she had lived all her lifetime, and her loss will be felt in many circles, particularly in Salem Chapel, where she had associated herself with every movement connected with the church. Much sympathy is felt with her two brothers, Mr Jack Edwards, with whom she lived and with whose public activities she fully identified herself, and Mr Edward P. Edwards who resides in Cincinatti, U.S.A. The funeral took place at the Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. The Revs. Maurice Griffith and Treborth Jones offici- ated.

BOYS BRIGADE IN CAMP. After their week's camp in Devil's Bridge, the 1st Aberystwyth Company or the Boys Brigade were early astir on Sat- urday morning and preparations for the departure began before breakfast. The tents were struck by twelve o'clock and practically everything was ready by dinner- time, the dinner being serveu in the open air.

After a pleasant journey, the boys reached Aberystwyth about 6-30 and marched through Terrace-road, Marine- terrace, Pier-street, Great Darkgate-street, and Chalybeate-street to Alexandra-road where they were dismissed. As a mark of sympathy with Bandmaster Jack Edwards in the sad 10"s of his sister, time only was ¡ kept on the drums proceeding down Great Darkgate-street. On the previous Thursday morning pre- liminary arrangements were made for the inspection and in the afternoon the Com- I pany went to the Bungalow, Ponterwyd, at the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Powell, Aberystwyth, who provided tea which was greatly enjoyed. A visit round the Devil's Bridge klalls occupied Friday morning. The boys were taken round free of charge by the kindness of Miss Bowen, manageress of the Hafoa Arms Hotel. The afternoon train brought a large num. ber of visitors for the camp inspection and sports. The camp was inspected by Capt. L. J. Mathias who was accompanied by Lieutenant Henry Roberts. 'file camp was pronounced to be in splendid condition, whilst the drilling of tile boys received favourable comment..

Downie's Trustees.
Downie's Trustees. The monthly meeting was held at the Town Hall yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, there being present the Rev. M Jones Powell, vicar, presiding; J. D. Perrott. F. R. Roberts. G. Fossett Roberts, Peter Jones, C. M. Williams, Isaac Hopkins, George Wilkinson, and Evan Evans, clerk On the application of Miss Purton, hon. secretary, it was agreed to allow the annual grant of E30 to the District Nursing Association, as well as the monthly grant of £ 1 for nourishment. In applying for a grant toward Allty- mynvdd Sanatorium, Mrs. A. J. Hughes stated that £ 40 had been contributed by the Town Council. She had guaranteed to find the sum of C75. Several of the churches and chapels had promised to con tribute. A patient from Aberystwyth had been in the Sanatorium for three months. The Clerk said he had since seen Mrs. Hughes wTho informed him that the collec- tions exceeded her anticipations iind the deficiency was only C6. It was decided to vote that amount. The following letter dated August 2nd was read from the Charity Commis- sioners:—"Adverting to the application which accompanied your letter ofo the 12th June last, I am to refer you to ite previous correspondence and particularly to the letter addressed to you from this office on the 23rd March, 1907. The Commissioner^, are still of opinion that the better course will be that a scheme should be established" with a view to the reconstitution of the governing body, and I am accordingly to enclose a form in which application may be conveniently made for the necessary order, of the Board." The Clerk added that he had a copy of the correspondence which took in 1907. Replying to Mr. Fossett Roberts, he said the letter of June 12th was with reference to the nomination of two new trustees. Replying to the Chair, man, the Clerk addeo that the Trustees did not acquiesce with the sugges. tion of the Commissioners that the nomina. tion of two trustees should be vested in the Board of Guardians, two in the man- agement of the Infirmary, one iji the gov- erning body of the College, with the Mayor of the borough as ex-offieo .and five mem- bers instead of four appointed by the Town Council. The Clerk referred to fur- then correspondence which had taken place and said he had received from the Commissioners a.00py of the correspond- ence between them and certain local people. Mr. Hopkins asked what the College knew about the poor of Aberystwyth ? (Laughter.) They were too busy with education in the College. With regard to the Board of Guardians, he thought they were going to be done away with He could not understand who was planning the new scheme. The Chairman said the point of the dis- cussion was whether it was advisable to change the scheme at all. Mr Peter Jones said the clause dealing with the administration of the income was a comprehensive one. The Clerk added that he wrote to the Commissioners enclosing the resolution passed on July 4th %'hen the majority of the Trustees decided to adhere to the existing scheme under which the bequest wras administered. He received no reply to that letter. Since then the Trustees had made a fresh application for the ap- pointment of two new trustees. All that the Commissioners said in reply was to refer them back to previous corres- pondence. Replying to Mr Wilkinson, the Chair- man said the only interpretation he could find for the suggestions made by the Trustees was that they desired a more re- presentative administration, but he be- lieved they were perfectly mistaken. Mr Peter Jones pointed out that the charity was limited in area. As far as the locality was concerned, there was no con- nection between the College, or the Board of Guardians, and the charity. Consider- ing the objects to be attained and the ad- ministration of the present constitution, he did not think there could be any im- provement. He proposed that the Clerk should reply drawing the attention of the Commissioners to the previous resolution and state that no reason was assigned to vary the terms of the scheme dealing with the appointment of new trustees and also that the Commissioners should be asked to complete the appointments. Mr Hopkins having seconded the pro- position, Mr Williams proposed as an amendment that each member should be supplied with a copy of the suggestions made by the Commissioners. While he did not approve some of the suggestions, he be lieved it was possible for the Trustees to suggest an improvement in the present scheme. Air. Peter Jones said he did not under- stand that the Commissioners suggested any change in the scheme. They only re. j'erred to the constitution of the Trustees, and on the face of it their suggestion seemed ridiculous. He considered the present scheme was preferable. The Chairman said the delay of the Com j missioners in the appointment of new trustees seemed rather inexplicable. He took it that the object of the proposition was to impress on them the necessity of completing the appointments in order to have a more representative attendance of trustees before considering any amc-ncimeut of the scheme, Mr. Wilkinson thought the present scheme was better and more representative than the one outlined by the Commis- sioners, although the danger of having a sort of ring nught be obviated by having a larger scheme Mr. F. R. Roberts suggested as an add,- tion to the proposition that the Trustees had further considered the suggestions of the Commissioners and were of opinion that the present mode of nominating trustees was preferable to the scheme suggested. Mr. Peter Jones having accepted the addition to his proposition, Mr. Williams said he entirely disagreed with it. He thought it was advisable to make sugges- tions for an improvement more in accord, ance with the democratic age. Whether a man was churchman or nonconformist, the proper course was to appoint those who had served the Trustees faithfully. The history of previous appointments was a dis- grace to any charitable trust. If the towns people voted on the question, they would be in favour of a change in the constitu- tion. Mr. Hopkins said one Churchman and one Nonconformist were appointed as trustees. The Chairman saivi he was so to speak, the only official denominationalist present. The. question ought to be considered entirely apart from that. In any action he might take as chairman, he hoped to be perfectly indiscriminate as far as the denominations were concerned. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W ilkinson—Sectarianism should have no part in this work. I have not seen a vestige of it since I have been here. The amendment was not seconded and on being put to the meeting, the proposition was carried, Mr Williams only voting against.

EGLWYSFACH
EGLWYSFACH Pastoral.—The Rev. J. Vincent Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jones BryndvS, and pastor of the South Side Congregational Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., has been extended a call by the Centennial Con- gregational Church of Cleveland. The Cleveland charge is one of the most flourislhing Welsh American churches 1ll the State and carries with it a substan- tial salary and a commodious parsonage. The various W .elsh charges in Pittsburgh are arduous fields, due to the scattered conditio?! of tjhe membership and -1re South Siae Church is no exception. Numerically the Cleveland congregation is twice as large as that of the sister church in Pittsburgh, the members are less scattered, and the field is more invit- ing. Mr. Jones is comparatively & young man, and is an excellent preacher, being a fluent speaker in Welsh a Is well as English. His departure from the dis- trict will be a distinct loss to the Welsh community of Pittsburgh, as he had taken an active interest in every movement of interest to his nationality.
