LORD ROSkBEKY ON WELSH POLITICS.|
LORD ROSkBEKY ON WELSH POLITICS. Lord Rosebery has written in the following terms to Mr J. H. Edwards, the editor of "Young Wales" (Aberystwith), for the sym- posium of Welsh Home Rule, opened in the columns of that periodical last month by Mr Lloyd George M.P:—" I am gratified at the tone of your letter, and by vour wish that I should contribute an expression of opinion to your symposium on somp f,)rw of Home Rule for Wales. But that, for the present at any rate, is a topic to be threshed out in Wales itself, and I have debarred myself from the discussion of all such questions of policy until the policy of the present Government shall have been announced. I must, however, say this much—that there is serious and perhaps increasing difficulty in obtaining the time and attention of Parliament for the discussion of subjects which do not directly concern England, but only the other members of the British partnership, unless they happen to involve burning principles of large application, such as Church pisestabhshment when they encounter the zealous hostility of the English Tory majority to the entire disregard of the wishes of the particular nationality affected. It is, there- fore, a legitimate and practical topic of discussion how this difficulty may be met by devolution or otherwise, and I hope that your symposium may have a fruitful result."

ITHE EPIDEMIC SPREADING.
I THE EPIDEMIC SPREADING. There are to-day more than a hundred developed .cases of this dread malady. Bright's Disease, in London; and, in spice of th* untiring courts of physicians, this scourge is spreading with alarm- ing rapidity, threatening every home in Great Britain. With ma ;y, the first symptom of alarm is that dreadful" swelling," which comes un- announced in the feet, hands, under the eye-lids, or in the throat. Others suffer with dull, indefinite pains in various parts of the body, and feel un- accountably weary, feverish, have loss of appetite, and general feelings of melancholy. These simple symptoms are the first indications of Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, which, unless promptly checked, are certain to result in serious illness or death. A short time ago, IN ST. THOMAS' HOSPITAL, I a young man lay rapidly sinking, struggling in the toils of this dread monstr-Bnght s Disease. In spite of the best treatment they could suggest, I dropsical swelling rwas apidly increasing. With the usual profound shaking of the head, the depre- catory shrug of the shoulder, the uplifting of the eye brows, which to the poor patient means A sentence of death, they discharged him as in- curable. Whiit a disuial return t" the parental roof C 3uld nothing be done to save ? Is there no help for victims of Kidney Disease ? Must he give up? No He remembered that Warner's Safe Cure had cured others why not him ? He immediately commenced usiug it, and the result is given below in his own words-- Early in Jauuary this year," writes Mr A. Underwood, I took a slight cold, which, however, only seemed confined to the hea I, and not suf- ficient to cause any anxiety on the part of a young man in the prime of life, as I was. Two or three days after I noticed a little swelling in one of my fe-t. I went to a doctor, who seemed to think little o. it, but advised applications of hot water. The next week the other foot commenced to swell, and I noticed my back seemed weak, snd I was suffering from a dull, heavy pain in the small of the back. The water was darker than usually passed, and the quantity seemed very small. Suddenly my eye-lids and face showed signs of swelling, and then my throat also became swollen. I had no idea what the trouble was, but was so frightened I determined to get the best advice possible, and immediately went under treatment in the London St. Thomas' Hospital. They prescribed medicines to reduce the dropsical swelling; but failing in their efforts, they resorted to hot vapour baths three times a week, in addition to the medical treatment. By this time my eyesight had become affected, and I was. subject to severe headaches, general enervation. and increased pains over the region of the kidneys, and the dropsical swelling was daily increasing. The physician in charge said I had Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, and after laying in the hospital twenty-one weeks I was discharged as incurable. I then returned home. and fortunately heard of, and determined to try, Warner's Safe Cure. I took it faithfully for a month before I noticed any improvement; then there seemed to be a lessening of the dropsical swelling; the water passed more freely and naturally. Then the dropsical swelling com- menced to rapidly decrease; my strength began to return, and my convalescence from this time was uointeriupted- I had not tried, as many seemed to have done, all other known remedies, nor had I been under a multitude of doctors for treat- ment but as soon as I found physicians of a leading hospital could do me no good, I lost no time in commencing Warner's Safe Cure. The health which I now enjoy after such a tedious and serious illness, is quite sufficient to make me very grateful, and for that and no other reason I called upon the vendors of this medicine to give them this letter. If any doubt my wonderful rescue, the facts can be verified by calling upon my relations at 94, Wells streat, Camberwell, London, where I can be seen at any time."
AN ANGLESEY BANKRUPTCY. I-
AN ANGLESEY BANKRUPTCY. A first meeting of the creditors of Thomas tr it chard, Ty'nrallt, Newborough, was held on Thursday in the Railwav Hotel, Bangor. Mr H. Roberts, the assistant Official Receiver, presiding. The debtor attributed his failure to the loss of a horse and family illness. The Official Receiver's observati BS were as follow: --The receiving order was made on the debtor's own petition, and he has been adjudicated a bankrupt. The bankrupt car- ried on a small farm, for th« last eleven years, culled Tynrallt. He had £ 30 capital when he commenced farming. The annual rent is 121 10s. The landlord demanded payment of the rent or an undertaking, threatening distress if not paid; he claimed that the rent was payable on the 12th May and 16th October; I have in my possession the last two receipts for rent, which distinctly say rent is only due and payable on the 13th Novem ber once a year. I have called upon the landlord for an explanation. The bankrupt has a small piece of land in Newborough which is mortgaged for £15. The bankrupt has kept no books of ac- count. He has known for the past 18 months that he was insolvent, and has contracted debts with that knowledge. No deficiency account has been rendered by him, he being unable to make one.- It was decided that the estate should be wound up in bankruptcy.

Here is a translation of a .veil-known Welsh hymn, by Mr W. Davies, Portdinorwic:— How sweet to contemplate at times, When troubles sore arise, That after desert p iths there waits A rest in Paradise. When faint and wearied with the ills, Which life in full supplies, How sweet to think there still awaits A rest in Paradise. Though losing friends so fond and true In Jordan's stormy rise, How sweet to think we all shall meet Again in Paradise. The Holy Spirit with His powers Prepare us in such wise That we, redeemed, may meet our friends Once more in Paradise.
--------ANOTHER "PVANUOR CON-TROTERSY.,
ANOTHER "PVANUOR CON-TROTERSY., [TO THE EDITOR OF THE XTORTH VALBS OBSEBVE.T AND EXPRESS"] SrR,-Last, Sunday I happened to hear a sermon by one of the youngest, if not the ablest, of the Bangor ministers. I hope the other? occasionally treat their auditors to something like it: though, to judge from the state of affairs in that much- mismanaged city, not nearly often enough. Applying one of Stead's fads," he questioned what would happen if Christ came to Bangor." Well, if He were by some untoward chance to find Himself, us the preacher suggested, in our town. I should say He would feel Himself quite as much aii intruder as some of the leaJing townspeople would consider Him and the remarks made would probably be "more forcible than polite," that is, judging from Scriptural instances The crowning question, however, was, if He were to audit the municipal accounts of Bangor." Now, as far as my know- ledge of Bangor gos, those accounts are, and in all probability will be, carefully kept—dark. There are several reasons for this, aiid I am not geing to mention them. The coming Ratepayers' Association will probably do fo, to more purpoee. [t in to be hoped, too, that that association will find some means of relieving the city from the effects of the insolence of elected persons." The rr.ajority of the present city fathers forcibly re Illind a visitor to the scene of their squabbles and ireams of the time honoured criticism about de- voting such leisure as they can spare from the idornnrent of their persons to the neglect of their duties." (You should sea "Jthose gowns," Mr Editor,—and their contents). If those who describe the performances are to be believed, the temporary occupants of those gowns," are accustomed to "play such pranks before High Heven. as make"—the I- Livi-rpool Courier" suggest a referendum. And, meanwhile, the work )f the corporation, whenever any of it happens t) get done at all, is mismanaged or shuffled by any- one who has time to waste on such trifles. Since the electric light question has arousei considerable attention and is likely to cost some of them their seats, I merely pray for its success-in the latter direction, —and pass on to ask a few smaller questions as samples of those we are he iring nowadays among '.he slowly awakening citizens. Is it true that the excavations in High street are to continue inter- i mittently the whole of the year; or will they be I found unneececs-try when a councillor—instead of m innocent boy—meets with a serious accident ? is it true that some of the gas mains laid down ire smaller than those they replaced ? Is it true ',hat the foot of Glanrafon is to be utilized as a swimming bath, after extra heavy showers ? or is ■he new road to be entirely removed piecemeil, 10 help to restrain the Adda; whenever that im- portant little gutter overtaxes the energies of the Corporation ? Is it true that the streets of the other Athens were only mended once a century; and that the modern edition is trying to copy ? Or is it true that the people who accepted the respon- sibility for these things are racking their mighty drains, trying to get and keep their precious pier fiasco clear of the mud -at both ends, and in several senses ? I heard these questions asked, in a different form, the other day; the reply was, Digon." And, sir, that divided into two words, is just what is wanted and a few of us hope to do a little of the digging. For the piesent, however, Diooy.
TEMPERANCE IN NORTH WALES.
TEMPERANCE IN NORTH WALES. The annual meet ags in connection with the Vale of Conway and Arfon Temperance Society was opened on Monday, special sermons being preached at Llanrwf t, Conway, Colwyn Bay, Tal- ybont, Trefriw, Lmnsimtffraid, and < eganwy, the preachers being the EBVS D. Rowlands, M.A., Ellis Jones (Ba:igor). D. H. Williams (Ebenezer), G. Roberts (Caruedd), Ishmael Evans, J. Griffith (Llanfairfechau), S. Owen (Festiniog), E. P. Jones, and T. Hughes (Fethesla). There was also a public meeting at he Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, I Llaadudno, the speakers including the Revs J. Evans O-ven (Llauberis), Evau Evans (Bangor), and T. Gwynedd F.oberts. 0 On Tuesday mo? ning a conference was held in the Calvinistic Jketho list Schoolroom, the Rev John Griffiths president for tne year) in the chair. -The Secretary (Rev G. Oeidiog Roberts Pen- ygroes) in bis annual report, stated that the society was c'o-'ng good work all round, and its efforts were appreciated more and more by the different localities. The collections were more general luring the year, this being an additional satisfactory feature. The rev. gentleman strongly denoui ced the action of the Conway and Carnarvon borouf 1 and county benches, and reference was made o one justice who voted for the renewal of a licence when it was considered that he had very stror.g reasons for supporting the objection of the pol'ce and temperance party for the renewal of that lie inse. The report further set forth that the de- cisions of magistrates in some cases appeared to be influenced more by business connection, ambition, and friendship than auythiog else. The notorious Lit nllyfni cases were referred to as monuments of I the sympathy ot the Carnarvon justices with the trad.. and their utter disregard of the wishes of the inhabitants; and it wis said that temperance workers had v ry good grounds for believing that there was a comme cial consideration to some persons besides lawyers and pubiicms in the repeated snubs some of them bad received under the cover of what was commonly called judicial obligation.—Some dis- ¡: cission ens'ied upon a resolution proposed by the RevH Barrow Williams, to tie effect that the conferEnce rejoiced because of the attempts made by some of the best men in England to bring about a reform iu the driuk trade. The rev gentleman said that, while h 1 was a firm sup- porter of hcd Teto and kindred schemes, the friends of temperauee ought not to be too precipi- tate in condemning other efforts made to deal with the evils of drunkenness. Evea if the local veto were placed before Wales at the present time, he questioned whether there was sufficient honest feeling in its favour to ensure its success. Until this feeling had been sufficiently nurtured, he urged that something should be done to benefit the present generation. The Rev D. Davies, in second- ing the proposal, declared that it must not be fcuken br granted that all who supported the Tories av. the last election were enemies of temper- ance. He ventured to think that thousands of ardent temperance people had voted for that party because there were quesiinns in the Liberal pro gramme to which they objep,-tecl -(hear, hear). The Rev S. Owen (Festiniog) and others strongly objected to any suggestion of com- promise in this question, ut any rate as far as Wales was conceiued.-Iti the face of this disagreement, a sub-committee was delegate! to draft a resolution, which, after expressing gratification at the attempts made to abolish drunkenness, declared -that nothing less than locrtl option would meet the requirements, and this was agreedcl).-The Rev H. Hughes (Carnarvon) was elected president for the ensuing year. Th¡ Rv KphJion Thomas read a paper on Temperance in the elections," and the Rev D. Rowlands, Bangor, spoke in favour of local option for Wales and against grocers' licenses. Resolutions m favour of tcvnperanee legislation were pissed.A conference for women wae also held at the English Wesleyan Chapel. Mrs Matthews, Amlwch, presided, and addresses were given by Mrs Tories (Ceridwen Peris), and Miss Parry (Bala).—In the afternoon a united conference was held in he Gloddaeth street Chapel, and at fi re o'clock F temperance mbeting for children in the Welsh Independent Chapel, addressed by Mrs J >nes (Ce, idweu Peris), and Cttptain G. B. Thomas (Carnarvon).—Last night the closing public meet- ing w held, the Rev D. Davies presiding, and the speakers including the Revs S. Owen (Tan- ygris'du), T. Hughes (Bethesda), D. H.

--BISHOP^ BANGOR ON WELSH…
BISHOP^ BANGOR ON WELSH EDUCATION. At the Public Hall, Colwyp Bay, the annual distribution of certificates to the qnccessful candi- dates in the Colwvn Bay centre of t i. Oxford looal examinations, took place. Mr A. O. Walker pre- sided, and was supported by the Bishop o Bangor, Canon Roberts. Mr T. G. Osborne, J.P., &c. The Bishop of Bangor having distributed the prizes, said that although in a comparatively English colony as Colwyn Boy, it was impossible for him not say a few words on TiV elsh education schemes. He did not approye of them. They had been got up in too much of a hurry, in many cases by inexperienced men, and were not half so good as they would have been if the counsel of other men had been taken, quite as honest and quite as loyal in the cause of education in Wales I as those who had taken so prominent a part in carrying them out. There ws one conspicuous instance in a county with which he was connected, 11 where a grievous defect existed in the airange- ments made. They had divided the coui-ty into separate districts or educational areas, and it was proposed to have a school in etch of those areas, and scholarships established in con- nection with those areas; and each boy or girl must go to the school in that particular area m order to hold a scholarship, whether the school was bad, good, or indifferent. This was a most unjust condition to make (hear hear). Even under the stimulus of the Welsh Intermediate Education Act there would be a difference m the schools and it was hard on the parents and hard for the boys to be tied down to a school in a particular area-a school in which, perhaps his own bent would not have free scope to develop itself. A parent ought to be allowed to choose any county where a scholarship was tenable. To confine a boy to one particular area was a narrow, selfish, and bad policy (applause). Another defect was the multiplicity of schools. He did not think it was possible they could all flourish, and the money would not be well spent on them. It would be better to spend money on three or four good schools, instead of nine, ten, and eleven, as was proposed in some cases. Some of those schools would suffer financial starvation. The result of all this was that even at present the best friends of Welsh education were beginning to feel that these new schemes must be remodelled, reconstituted, and supplemented by others. He felt bound to give expression to those views. They might not be the views of some present, but they were his honest convictions (hear, hear). If they had been carried out it would have been far better in the long run for Welsh education. Alluding to the report of the.Com- mission on Secondary Education just published, his lordship hoped some central authority would be established in accordance with the recommenda- tion of that commission, and the result of that established authority would be better organisa- tion of schools. But he would warn those who were going to take the matter in hand that it would be a very serious thing indeed to disorgan- ize any existing schools. It was possible in the anxiety for progress that in some educational re- form^ they might uproot some good being done iin the country. This should be avoided, as it was; a dangerous rock. There was one suggestion bv the commission with which he entirely agreed, and, if carried out in Wales, difficulties might have been avoided. There were certain sparse districts where it was difficult to get a good secondary schools, but all these sparse districts ha.d an elementary school. The secondary education of those par- ticular districts would be best met by grafting upon one of the elementary schools a higher de- partment, by the addition of a secondary educa- tion standard, and a rate given to help them. In that way the educational aspirations of those scattered districts would be greatly aided (ap- plause).
A TIMELY WAKNING.
A TIMELY WAKNING. Never trust those who promise too much at a tim9. The patent medicines which pretend to cure "at once, in a single dose," or in ten minutes," convince us that they are unnatural in their operations, and that, therefore, either the promise mide is a false one, or that the remedy is worse than the disease. It is not at once tint a man becomes Consumptive; it is not at a single meal that you acquire Indigestion and Dyspepsia; it is not in ten minutes that your Liver becomes sluggish and out of order. No. These complaints and others which might be named are gradual in their hold to release you at once," or in ten minutes," or at a single dose." As the disease, so its cure. Steady and certain is its approach. Steady and certain should be its retreat. It is in this fact that the secret of the wonderful, the uapparalleled success of Gwilym Evans. Quinine Bitters lies. It conforms to Nature's law3, adapts itself to Nature's requirements. If the constitution has been slowly, steadily, aid certainly undermined by disease, so it is slowly, steadily and certainly re-built by this excellent I remedy. It does not pretend to miraculous instant- aneous effect cu'es.

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN. [TO THE EDITOR OF THE OBSERVER AND EXPRESS."] SIR, —Will you allow me to oring the claims of this society to the notice of your readers. One hardly opens the daily or local papers without finding some evidence of its beneficial work. The Inspector attached to this branch in response to letters of request has gone to Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Bangor, and Menai Bridge, and in Anglesey (Llangefni, Amlwch, and Holyhead, and neigh- bouring places), and prosecutions have taken place at Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Abergele, and Llan- gefni, and other prosecutions are now pending. Warnings are also given and cases are supervised also at these places. These longjjourneys naturally entail heavy extra expenses on this branch of the society, and it is thought that influential people in the neighbourhood would be only too pleased to send subscriptions or donations to the society if its claims and need were brought to their notice, especially having regard to what it is doing amongst them. These will be thankfully received at the Central Office. 1, Harpur street, London, W.C., or by Mr William James (Honorary Treasurer), North and South Wales Bank, Denbigh, or by— Yours faithfully, EDWARD A. TURNOUR, Local Honorary Secretary, Denbigh, and North Wales Aid Committee.

CARNARVON CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETV.
CARNARVON CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETV. Annual Exhibition. This society held its second annual exhibition on Thursday last at the Drill Hall, Carnarvon, and when compared with the initial exhibition last year in the same building, which is admirably adopted for such shows, it presented a marked im- provement. The entries were larger and drawn from a much wider area, and the general comment amongst the gardeners was that the quality of the exhibits showed a decided improvement, a fact which merited a remark by the judge, who desired that his anonymity should be respected, and that the show was equal to anything he had A -.r T 'Y"!rt. seen in England. The Kigut non. ijorn reumvu is the president of the society. The committee, of which Mr Blackburn is chairman, and Mr T. O. Morgan the working secretary, deserve great praise for the able manner in which they had carried out the arrangements in eveij detail and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Mr John Davies, jun., Ty'nyglyn, Carnarvon, ao-ain carried the lion's shale of the prizes, win- ning the silver cup in the champion cltss for the best 24.cut blooms (12 Japanese and 12 incurved), and according to the rules of the society it becomes his possession after winning it two years in suc- cession; also the two silver medals offered by Messrs Tilling and Blackburn for the best chrysan- themum plant, single stem (sorce d'ore) and one for the best cut bloom (Baron Hirsch) in the show. For the best group of chrysanthemums, arranged in pvramid form, in a space not exceeding i fe:t in diameter, those shown by Mr To in Armstrong Sportsman Hotel, Carnarvon, carried the first prize and also the special premium silver medal, the gardener (Mr Ey-in Williams) displaying ad- mirable taste. Amongst other successful competi- tors were the Marquis of Anglesey, the High Sheriff of Anglesey (Mr S. Taylor Chadwick), Mr C. A. Jones, Mr John Owen, Capt Wynn Griffith, Mr H. Finchett Marldocks (Caegwyn), Mr H. J. Ellis Nanney, the Hon. F. G-. Wynn, Miss Dora Owen, Mrs Foster, &a., the chairman of the committee being the only exhibitor in the amateur class for three distinct varieties of chrys- anthemum plants. The stand showed by Messrs (' Clibran and Son, Oldfield Nurseries, Altrincham, and Llatidudno Junction, was greatly admired, the splendid collection of blooms and the fine specimen of apples and pears well merited the special award given by the com-nittee. The superiority of this year's exhibits was more notice- able to the public in the fine specimens of Japanese as seen in the classes for nine and eignteen cut blooms, but it must be borne in mind that the incurve, of which some grand specimens were also staged, is the bl-iom that carries the point on the show stand. The committee were again fortunate ill securing the services of a well-kaown Cheshire judge, whose awa-ds gave general satisfaction. Mr Leake acted as steward. The show was well patronised during the day, but not to the extent the committee expected and which they fully deserved,-considering the marked Improvement in the exhibits and the increase in prizes. Still the show was a great success, especially from a grower's point of view, and the committee again intrnd increasing their prizes and adding to the classes next year. The baud of the 2nd Volun- teer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under the able leadership of Mr Corrison, played selections of music during the day. LIST OF BLOOMS IN THE CUP STAND.

Robert Griffith, Llanengan, claimed for the loss of mare which had been fataUy injured bv an entire horse belonging to Thomas Owen, Mills. Llwyndyrus. Mr Evan R. Davies appeared for the claimant, and Mr J. T. Howells for the de- fendant. It was stated that the mare had been terribly injured. She bad cost R13 os as a filly, and when she died she was four years old. Mr J. E. Evans, veterinary surgeon, gave the results of the postmortem examination held by him on the mare. The cause of death was peronitis, brought about by unnatural service. Witness had seen a similar case near Portmadoc, when the owner of the horse immediately paid for the mare. Sc )res of mares had been killed through incompetency or carelessness of the men in charge,—Mr J. Trevor Williams, veterinary surgeon, Llangefni, corrobor- ated the last witness. The animal was worth from X30 to ;C32.-The claim was for E27 10s. -Cad- waladr Williams, Corn, Llanengan, put down her value at that amount.—For the defence Mr Howells said there was no negligence. The groom was a practical man.—Owch Thomas, the groom, said that he had scores of times acted in this cap- acity. Judgment for the plaintiff for E t 3 5s with costs.—The case. lasted for a long time, and ap- peared to be of great interest to the large number of farmers who were present during the hearing of the case. THE CRICCIETH WATER CO. V. D. LLOYD GEORGE, M.P. Mr William George asked for costs in a case brought by the Criccieth Water Co. against D. Lloyd George, M.P., for £ 1, said to be one for water supplied. The case had been withdrawn by the plaintiffs. Mr George appeared for his brother, and Mr John Humphreys (Messrs Jones and Jones, Portmadoc), for the Company. Mr W. George said that the Company failed to supply water at a certain time, and pleaded an act of God. The defendant was prepared to prove that it was not an act of God. There were many other actions. Costs bad been incurred in preparing the defence. The question was of public interest. Mr Humphreys said there was no public grounds for the actions. The defendant refused to pay f ir the water. The money were payable in advance. This case had not been beard, and there was no trial, and therefore no costs could be charged. Mr Lloyd George was to pay the money in advance. It was the universal rule to pay in advance. -Mr George referred to the discontinuance of the water, and the proceedings that were to be taken under such circumstances.—Mr Humphreys said that he and Mr George had agree 1 on the last occasion when the matter was to come on, to withdraw the cases, but three of the defendants, nevertheless, appeared, and acted in their own behalf. Their costs were allowed, and the cazei were dismissed. That being so no costs in this action could be allowed.—Mr George said that as a matter of principle defendant should be allowed his costs.- His Honour made an order for payment of costs incurred up to receipt of notice of discontinuance. THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE EISTEDDFOD COM- MITTEE. O. N. Jones, secretary of the late Pwllheli Eis- teddfod, was summoned by A. Milton, photo- grapher, South Beach, for not paying to him £ 21. Mr J. T. Howells appeared for Milton, and Mr E. R. Davies for the defendant. Milton sent in for competition to the eisteddfod a set of local views, which were awarded the second prize. Milton entered a protest against the first prize going to Mr Williams, Rhyl, on the ground that the views sent by him had not been received within the specified time. Mr Howells said that one of the adjudicators was an uncle of Mr Wil- liams. The cheque drawn out in favour of Mr Williams had been stopped. Mr Howells held that the first prize should go to Milton.—Mr Davies said that the adjudicators had only placed plain- tiff's photographs second, and therefore the first prize could not be awarded to Milton. — His Honour If the first prize was awarded to a com petitor who was delusive, the second prize winner would naturally come in for it.—The case was adjourned pending the action of the committee with respect to the disposal of the first prize. ROBERTS V. EVANS. Wm. Roberts, farmer, Llannor, claimed £ 9 lfls for a cow sold to Wm. Evans, farmer.—Mr E. R. Davies appeared for the pls.intiff. -J udgment for the claim. ROBERT WILLIAMS V. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS. Robert Williams, stationmaster, Afonwen, re- presented by Mr Griffith Jones, barrister (instructed by Messrs Lloyd George and George), brought an action against Elizabeth Williams, Chwilog, for whotu Mr J. T. Roberts appeared. Plaintiff was heir-at-law to the personal property of the late Captain Williams, husband of the defendant.—W. C. Jones, clerk with Messrs Lloyd George and George, proved the posting of notices to produce, and Mr W. George deposed as to the conveyance and probate of deceased's will. -Elizabeth Wil- liams, 84 years old, mother of the deceased and of the plaintiff, said she married her deceased bus- band 63 years ago. She had two sons and two daughters. Evan Williams lived at Taleifion, Chwilog.Cross-examination: She did not know to whom Evan Williams bequeathed the house.— Re-examined: Her husband died before Evan Williams did. Evan Williams left no children.— Robert Williams, plaintiff, said that he was the brother of E. Williams, who built Taleifion, the annual value of which would be from £ 8 to f9. The brother died in December, 1891, from which witness claimed profit.—Cross-examined I was in the house when the will was made. I went there when D. Jones was there. I was requested to leave the room. My sister told me that a will was being prepared. 1 never was told that my brother would give all his property to his wife.—Mr Ro- beits said that the man who drew out the will thought that the whole of the deceased's property, I house and all, were included in the will. No offer I had been made.—The Witness I knew about tbe will months ago.—His Honour asked if the word effects 11 would carry with it freehold property ? -Mr G. Jones I do not think it does.—Mr Ro- berts The following words in the will are ampli- fications of "personal property." Mr Roberts said that the whole case was a most heartless one. Captain Williams, undoubtedly, bequeathed all his property and effects to hjR wife his house, ship, clothes, and everything. All these were included in the will. If the "effects" did not carry tie property, thentbere was the law of intestacy.—A long legal argument ensued, and his Honour de- cided to reserve judgment. SEYMOUR EADIE V. PATTISON. Judgment for £ 2 3s 61 was given in favour of S Etdie, South Beach Hotel, agunst R. C. Pattisoo' 1 solicitor, who hid been staying in the hotel. De^ fendant had rented rooms at the hotel.—He did not appear. THS PWLLHELI EISTEDDFOD COMMITTEE AND THE PIANOFORTE TUNER.

YGEMNEN"
YGEMNEN" In another column will be found an advertise- ment respecting the "Geninen" for next year. The Geninen," as is well known, has now won for itself the foremost place among Welsh national magazines It represents every stde of the Welsh character, without distinction of sect or partv; and while its articles are always interesting, and such as appeal to t' e ordinary magazine reader, they also almost without exception maintain the high standard of excellence for which the Geninen has always been celebrated. Among the series of articles promised for next year are contributions by some of the- leading public men of Wales on such seasonable topics as The Welsh Literature of the Icith Century: Is it improving or deteriorating P" The Eisteddfod Is it worth preserving r" The Welsh Pulpit: Its virtues and failings." The Religious Denominations in their relation to Welsh Literature." This is how the Ma ;chester Guardian expresses its opinion on the current number of this ma,azine: The Geninen for the current quarter is one of the best numbere of this magazine we have seen for some time. The amount of literary matter crowded into the eighty pages of this number may well appal the most industrious reviewer. The names of over 50 contributors appear on the title- page and although many of them are represented only by some scraps of poetry, the collection and the oversight of the whole must be pronounced a very considerable editorial feat."
