AN AUTRTOK AND HIS BOOKS.:
AN AUTRTOK AND HIS BOOKS. Mr Allen Upward has addressed the following letter to the secretary of a literary society, who wrote requesting a copy of one of Mr Upward's novels:— Dear Sir,—I am in receipt of a letter in which you ask me to send you a copy of one of my books (which you name) for the library of the Ala road Literary Society, Pwllheli. I have heard of Pwll- heli, but I have never beard of the Ala road Liter- ary Society. Before complying with your request, j therefore, I should be glad of a little more infor- mation. I should like to know how many mem- bers (if any) beside yourself there are in the mation. I should like to know how many mem- bers (if any) beside yourself there are in the Society, and whether it is run on denominational lines. Its name sounds as if it were held in a chapel, and I want to know wireh chapel, It is well known that I am a Baptist, and therefore I could not possibly send my works to a Congrega- tional Society, far less to a Wesleyan one. You state that you have to fall back on the sympathy and kindness of others, owing to lack of funds. But lack of funds is not peculiar to the [ Ala road Literary Society. Authors, even, have ¡ been known to experience it. This fact in itself, therefore, does not convince me that I ought to send you my book. You inform me that several authors, whose names you mention, have sent you copies of their works. But the list you give is not entirely satisfactory. Authors like Lord Rosebel y and Lord Roberts are not fair samples of their class. These litterateurs appear to be noblemen, and therefore probably have other sources of income than the sale of their writings. Neither do such names as Sir Lewis Mollis and Mr Le Gallianne carry real weight. They are poets, and everyone knows thet poetry is a drug in the market. Had you asked me for a copy uf my poetical works I would hav3 sent it with pleasure, and accompanied it by my portrait and autograph. It is true that you add a request for my other books, but in such language as makes it pain- fully clear that you have never heard of the others. This has naturally offended me. Yeu should be more careful when writing to authors, proverbially a sensitive and quick-tempered race. Had you been prudent enough to refrain from particularising, and simply offered to take all my works, I should have sent a miscellaneous collection that would have astonished yeu. As it is, you have asked for my worst book—a book quite UIi- worthy of the attention of a Literary Society, and which it would be insulting Mr A. J. Balfour and Mr A. W. Pinero to place on your shelves along- side of the works they have forwarded to you. The fact is tiat you have fallen into a common error. You think that authors like giving away their books, that they regard it as a compliment to be asked for them. Some authors may, but they are not always the authors whose books are best worth having. It would aistress me to think that my writings would never penetrate to Ala road, Pwllheli. I can only mentior., with modest deference, that Messrs W. H. Smith and Son are kind enough to 1 supply the public with the work you have expressed a wish for, at the price of 3s 5d, in cloth covers, or 2s in boards (with picture). Surely 2s is a sum which may one day be within the reach of the Literary Society The firm I allude to probably have a stall at the Pwllheli Railway Statfon-if there is a railway to Pwllheli. But to say more might seem like asking you to buy my works. Accept my sincere admiration for your zeal and enterprise in the pursuit of literature, and believe me, obediently yours, ALLEN UPWARD.
CONWAY BOARD OF OUARDIANS-
CONWAY BOARD OF OUARDIANS- At Friday's fortnightly meeting, the Rev W. Venables Williams presiding, it was reported by the Clerk that the various parishes were in arrears of their calls to the extent of £ 4,720. There was also a balance of £ 1,070 due to the treasurer, while a county rate of £ 1,700 would become due in January, and a further sum of £ 1,000 must be set aflide for other bills. The Chairman pointed out that Conway's indebtedness, which amounted to Y-770, was out of all reason, and that the parish of I Llanelian, amounting to JE220, was also excessive. The guardians for Llanelian intimated that it was the intention of the parish to appeal against the arrears charged to it. Eventually it was agreed to proceed against those parishes which had not paid any of their calls. In one of the relief lists there appeared an application for relief in respact of a family consisting of a husband and wife and ten children. The husband, who is now in ill-health, was described by the relieving officer as being much addicted to drink, while the wife was a hard- working, striving woman. Mr John Roberts (Colwyn Bay) asked whether some means could not be devised to request publicans not to supply people of this class with drink ? The Chairman thought it a serious thing that the children of this man should suffer and be kept in misery. He re- membered some years ago proposing in that board that relief be absolutely refused. to persons of drunken habits, but he was sorry to add that he was defeated and that the opposition was led by a teetotaller (laughter). Mr Hugh Hughes observed that those who were opposed to the Chairman's proposal looked upon the question from a legal aspect. The matter then dropped. It was decided to give the inmates their annual Christmas treat,

A DESIRABLE END.—The long and unenviable division in the ranks of the Baptists in this place has at last terminated. Hitherto one section worshipped in ono chapel and the other in an- other. Now they have united, and have begun to worship in the sawe place. It is now hoped that the other churches belonging to the same denomi- nation will follow this good example.

Public services were held, and sermons delivered by the Revs John Owen, M.A., Dr Hugh Jones Hugh Pugh J. J. Roberts, and William Thomas. It may be of interest to know that the chapel was reopened free of debt. Mr and Mrs Williams, Gwylfa, gave £ 2bb towards the expense incurred. Mr Richard Jones, Llanwnda, was the contractor, and he did his work most satisfactorily.

Holyhead. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION. At a meeting of the Holyhead School Board, on Wednesday—Captain Cay, R.N. (vice-chairman) presiding—tho committee appointed by the Board to investigate the question of the school accom- modation in the neighbourhood of King-iland re- ported that a school was sorely needed in the locality, as there were 227 more children in the neighbourhood of Kingsland and London road than could be accommodated at the National School. Many of the children had to come from a long distance and had to walk along paths before reaching the main road, which was very disagree- able, especially during the winter months. They recommended the erection of a school at Kings- land. ° Miss Roberts moved the adoption of the report, and said she did so because she was of the opinion that the National School could never be sufficiently enlarged to meet the requirements of Kingsland and the neighbourhood. Mr Wm. Griffith opposed the Board proceeding with the matter on that occasion, as be thought it ought to be deferred in order to see whether the National School Committee purposed enJarging their premises. He thought it was a question of Church and Chapel. It had not been proved to his satisfaction that sufficient accommodation did not exist in the town to meet the reqniremercs of the Education Act. Mr Thomas Williams seconded the original motion, and said that it was not a political or de- nominational question, but the conwr'ttee had simply considered the needs of the locality. The Rev R. Lloyd supported the mohon, and in doing so said that the question of costs would un- doubtedly weigh with them, but iu a clear case of th'sdescripti nit should not be considered suffic- ient to prevent them from proceeding with the school, as it wasmuch needed in the neighbourhood, and the ratepayers were anxious to have school accommodation there. The rumour about the en- largement of the National School WF.S but thin air, and had never taken a tangible form. It was but a race between the Board and the National School Committee. He would prefer to see a Board School there. Mr W. Griffith: Ah that's it. He moved that the matter be adjourned. The Chairman seconded the amendment. Mr W. S. Owen further supported the original motion, which was carried by four votes to two.
BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The ordinary meeting of the Board of Guard- ians of the Holyhead Union was held on Tuesday at the Valley, Mr J. Lloyd Griffith, M.A., pre- siding. OUT-RELIEF. The following sums were reported to have been paid in out-relief during the fortnight :-Holyhead district, £ 87 4s 6d, to 444 paupers Aberffraw, JE51 3s 6d, to 250; and Bodedern, JE.53 4s 6d, to 213, showing an increase of L2 3s as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The number in the house was 49, as compared with 60 last year. RELIEF IN KIND. The Chairman read a letter from the District Auditor stating that there was reason to believe that the sums charged in the out-relief Tor relief in kind were entered before the actual payments were made or before the receipts were produced. — Upon the motion of Mr T. Forcer Evans, J.P., seconded by Mr R. Chambers, it was resolved that the receipts for the relief-in-kind made by the re- lieving officers be produced at each meeting, and that the receipt book be sent to the Clerk every fortnight. -A letter was read from the Local Government Board enclosing a copy of a letter they had received from Mr William Williams, Y Bone, Ty Croes, complaining of the absence of a paying station in the parish of Llanfaelog, and mentioning the distance to the nearest paying station.-The Chairman moved, and Mr R. Cham- bers seconded, that they should reply to the Local Government Board that the paying station at Capel Gwyn, though not in the parish, was on the boundary.—TheJRev R. Price, B.A., and Mr C. E. M. Prichard suggested the fixing of an additional paying station. The motion was withdrawn, the subject to come tinder consideration again at the next meeting. CHRISTMAS TREAT. A cheque for one pound was received from Sir Edmund Verney, Bart., for the Christmas dinner to the inmates of the Workhouse. Upon the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr J. Jones (Clwchdernrg), it was decided to write to thank Sir Edmund for his kindness.-The Master applied on behalf of the inmates for the annual Christmas treat, and this was granted upon the motion of Mr T. Former Evans, J.P., seconded by Mr C. E. M. Prichard. THE EDUCATION OF A BLIND GIRL. A letter was read from Mr R. E. Pritchard, clerk to the Holyhead School Board, calling atten- tion to the case of the widow of the late Mr Lewis Owen, and stating that her blind daughter had hitherto been maintained at a school for the blind by Lord Stanley, who paid £ 39 a year, but now the fees were increased to £60, and his lordship has discontinued his support. The School Board appealed to the guardians to provide in whole or in part for the education of the girl, and also to give relief to the widow during the winter months. -The Rev R. Price said that Lord Stanley had not discontinued his subscription, only that he was Hot going to pay the increase from JE39 to £ 60. Mr R. Chambers said that he considered a sugges- tion that the guardians should pay fees tn the extent of £ 60 was most ridiculous,—Miss R -berts TWd ? ih- b\i been req"ested at the School Board to bring the matter forward, but she had insisted upon a communication being sent through the clerk instead.-The Rev R. Price understood fnr h W!f Uty °j the Schoo; Board to provide for her education and that the v had power to pay. He moved that a letter to this effect be sent to the School Board.-—Mr O. Jones seconded the motion. -Mr R. Chambers moved, and Mr J. Williams (Aberffraw) seconded, an amendment that the letter be laid on the table.—In the voting there was a tie, and the chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the amendment, which was therefore declared to be carried.

It was reported that the balance in the bank was only £ 24.—The Surveyor (Mr H. Lewis) reported that they had had some damage done in the town since the last ordinary meeting by the flood, and the work was done without extra men, and with- out neglecting the ordinary work, but extra carts had to be engaged. POWERS OF PARISH COUNCIL. A letter was read from the Local Government Board in reply to an application by the council, pointing out that the Council had already, under the Allotments Acts, 18S7, power to obtain land for allotments, and wishing to know why they sought to have those powers under the Local Government Act, 1894.—The matter was left in the hands of the Chairman and the Clerk to reply. FREE LIBRARY. Letters were read from the Revs J. Williams and R. P. Williams, enclosing copies of resolutions which had been passed by the Hyfrydle and 'he Tabernacle Literary Societies respectively iu favour of the Council adopting the Free Librarits Act.— As a month's notice of motion had to be given the matter was deferred until the next meeting.

THE STORM. The storm last week caused a three-masted vessel to drop anchor near the half- tide rocks, and to fly signals of distress. Her sails had all been blown away. Tne Abesc/Ch lifeboat went out, and landed the crew at Pwllheli, where they were hospitably entertained at Penlan Fawr. The captain came to this town on Saturday morn- ing, to seek assistance, but he failed to come to terms with the tugboat company. The amount proposed by the company was very reasonable, considering the risk. The vessel rolled and pitched tremendously. Lest other vessels should come in her wake, lights had been put on her masthead. When the storm moderated the vessel was again boarded and taken to the roadstead. -Part of the roof of Bortbygest smithy was carried away This building was built with money advanced by the Liberator Society.—A portion of the Memorial Chapel roof was also blown -y.-Some damage was done to the upper portions of the Sportsman Hotel.—Farmers in the uplands could not proceed with their usual work, and large quantities of hay were blown away.
