Bangor, was appointed agent for North W als; and a few years afterwards the Rev Wmiam Roberts, of Blaenau, Wales The good work went on with such rapidity that it soon became necessary to have a'Training College to prepare tea.Aers for the British schools of Wales. 1 January; 13o8, the Bangor Normal College commenced its work in two dwelling houses in Upper Bangor, and in 1862 the building was completed as its home. The zeal and liberality shown by the people of Wales in the establishment and the maintenance of British schools, and m responding to the appeals of the Rev John Phillips for money to build the Normal Col- lege—which cost E13,500-were very re- markable. Bv the end of 1870, when the Elementary Education Act was passed, the British schools of Wales numbered 314. After that, Wales shewed such alacrity in availing itself of the provisions of the Act of 1870, that the whole country was soon under School Boards, and Board schools were es- tablished everywhere. The system was felt to be so well adapted to the needs of the country, that in a short time nearly all the British schools were placed under Boards, and many of them were enlarged or re-built, in order to meet the additional require- ments of the neighbourhoods. At present, in addition to some 70 British schools, our Board schools in Wales number 821, many of which are in two or three different de- partments, and in addition to thei rhead teachers, have several assistant teachers. And now we have 75 Intermediate Schools, with 3000 boys and 3500 girls taught in them; and three University Colleges, at- tended by upwards of a thousand students of both sexes. And the Normal College, which all along has been doing its work with great efficiency, has rendered a very-import- ant service in this great movement, by train- ing teachers for our schools. By this time, 1024 students have been turned out of the college. A good many of those have passed away; some have turned to other avoca- tions not a few have distinguished them- selves and now serve the cause of learning in high positions; but the vast majority are still serving their country as schoolmasters and are doing very valuable work. And al- though we have now so many other educa- tional establishments in full operation, yet the Normal College well maintains its posi- tion and proves itself a necessity to the country. The press for entrance into it continues unabated; the standard of work and attainment is well maintained; and soon after its students comple* their train- ing they are appointed to schc-, I. The re- sult of the certificate examination held last Midsummer was received on the 23rd of September. This time, instead of placing the students simply under divisions, the I Government separates each division into two parts: the first including the things that bear more specifically upon heir pro- fessional work as teachers, the second hav- ing more regard to their general knowledge. This arrangement has been made in both residential and training colleges, so that their examination results in professional subjects may be placed on the same footing. It is also worthy of note that there were no falures whatever in Science subjects. The music inspection was conducted on the 14th of April, by Sir John Stainer, Mui Doc. Sir John seemed much pleased with the singing of the students, and at the end rose and said that he had not had the pleasure of visiting the College for some years, but his recollections of the singing at the Bangor Normal College led him to expect a treat when he entered the College again this year. He had been more than satisfied. The con- ducting and teaching of Mr Harding—whose -work was always honestly and thoroughly performed, with no veneer or sham polish— had again his great praise. He was pleased to receive such an excellent programme of music as was presented to him. The voices of the second year men, he could see, had been wall and systematically trained throughout their stay, and he hoped those of the first year would take example from the excellent singing of their seniors. He also hoped that the individual examination would be successful. Sir John then pro- ceeded with the individual examination of the second year students. Out of the 30 students examined, 22 obtained the full marks. This is the highest full marks which the College has ever obtained. The inspector expressed his pleasure at the work done, and especially commented on the training, and on the honest and well dir- ected work which had been done in the sub- ject. And in the report of the Committee ot Council cn Education, just issued, Sir •John wrote: "All the work was well pre- pared. The songs were first rate, and they were generally well sung The tests were sung with unusually fluency. The choral music was not all of the best, but it served to show tne excellent drill of the choir.' In the month of June, the College was inspected by H.M. Inspectors Messrs Barnett, Legard, and L. J.'Roberts. On meeting the Committee of Management, Mr Barnett refjrred to the report of the certificate examination held in July, 18%, which bowed that 24 out of the 30 students of the secord year had passed in the first division, and th: remaining six in the second, which ho characterised as a most remarkable re-lt. He also showed the position of the C'oll je rs regard d the percentages in the sr jects taken by the stu- I dents of both years, and said that the two lists were such at they might very well be satisfied with. Mr Barnett, also strongly recommended that the time-table of the Col- lege should be so cl--ngrd that the stu- dent 3 might hive their afternoons free for exercise and recreation, and also that a rowing boat should be hd or their use on the straits. This year the change suggested by Mr Barrett the time-table ha-T been made, and so far its workirg seems to be satisfactory. It would be also very desir- able that a boat should be had for the use of the students. The health of the students throughout the year has been very good. At the scholarship examination held in December, 94 candidates sat with a view to entering the College. Out of that number, 17 passed in the first class, 44 in the second, and 15 in the third. Of the 60 students now in residence, 10 are Baptists, 12 C'alvin- istic Methodists, 20 Congregationalists, 9 Church of England, 1 Primitive Methodist, and 8 Wesleyans. On account of the in- adequacy to the recommendations of H. M. Inspectors, which were also insisted upcn by the Education Department, the committee had last year to build a larder outside the college itself. Additions were oho made to the library of the College. On acccuntof the heavy expenditure thus incurred, the adverse balance at the end of the year was £ 393 19s lOd. The Committee is very pleased to record that a donation of £ 10 was received from a, good friend cf the Col- lege, Mr Thomas Jones, of Garston; and of £ 5 each from Air Samuel Smith, M.P., and Mr Robert Lewis, of the Alliance Assurance Company, London. But as the deficit bal- ance is considerable, and our ordinary ex- penditure unavoidably heavy,—not to speak of the need of adding continually to the lib- rary of the College, and the desirability, ac- cording to the recommendation of H. M. Inspector, of having a boat for the use of the students,—it is earnesly hoped that the friends of education will during the ensuing year give a generous support to the funds of the Normal College. At the happy re- union of the students of the College, held two years ago, it was felt that it would be very desirable that a ireeting of the kind should be had every tijree years. A re- union of the students of Swansea College w. held last year, which was of a remark- ably successful character, some 200 of the old students having come together. The Committee would be, glad if a large number of the old number students of this College should meet next year,* to enjoy their old friendship, and strengthen one another for the work of their life. We4 are pleased that we are able to give in connection with this report a copy of a good portrait of the late Rev John Phillips, the first Principal of the Normal Colege, and who did such ex- cellent service to Wales in promoting the establishment oil British schools, and in col- lecting funds for the building of this College. e rejoice that a strong desire prevails to make some lasting memorial of his valu- able work. 1t resolution in favour of doing something in that way was passed in a re- union of students id 1894 and although the thing should have been done long ago, we trust that it is not too late even vet for thoM that so highly appreciated the seor vices of Mr Phillips to honour his memory. The Chairman congratulated the friends of the institution upon the report which the committee of the College had issued. He had not read the report himself, but on the face of it it showed very great progress on the part of the institution, and also proved that every subject of education recognised in the curriculum of the College was effi- I ciently and thoroughly taught. A new method of testing the efficiency of the work done in the College, as well as in similar in- stitutions, had come into operation, but he was not in a position himself to express any opinion as to whether the new, method was ■ an improvement on the old. He believed, however, that the change was inevitable, but he thought that it was only reasonable to admit that any change of the kind in the I method of testing the efficiency of the work done in this and other institutions increased the anxiety of those who were responsib'" for the efficient working of such institutions. I It would not at all have been surprising if the change in method of examination had brought about results somewhat different from those they had been accustomed to re- ceive in Government reports of the College, but he was pleaseu to find that the institu- tion had passed through the ordeal as suc- cessful as it ever passed the ordeal under the old method (hear, hear). At present the examination consisted really of two parts, one appertaining to the strictly profesv ii;il training of the students at the College, and the other to their training in subjects ,hl,,L, might be called subjects of general know- ledge, and it was satisfactory to find that in both respects the College had fully held its own. He could not but express his great satisfaction at the continued high reputa- tion of the College, as given by Sir John Stainer, in the study and practice of music. He thought that in recent years, in the great prominence given to the Welsh edu- cation movement and to the factors that had brought about the remark- able success of the movement, far too little thought had been given to the work of the founders and supporters of the Bangor Normal College. They were too apt, he thought, to lay stress on one phase of the educational movement in Wales, and that was the establishing of higher educa- tion only, forgetting that the completion of the movement for intermediate and higher education in Wales would altogether have been impracticable were it not for the work of preparation in previous years by the es- tablishment of large schools and also in par- ticular by the establishment of the N-rmal College at Bangor. He did not know where the fault was. They were constantly in statements referring to the growth of this great movement omitting to recognise the best claims of those who, ..e thaught, made the movement possible, and it would be un- pardonable if anybody were to take part in the annual meetings of that institution and to accquiesce in that si nof omission. Per- sonally, he believed that the year 1843 was really the date to which they ought to assign the beginning of the great movement which culminated in the granting of the Roval Charter to the University of Wales. This was the most interesting period in the life of the late Sir Hugh Owen. It was the period that brought out the self-denving efforts of that gentleman; but important was also the period which brought into the service of Welsh education the self-sacrificine labour r 11 1 AT hn ?:iIlips- The -Sormal College had the proud distinction of being the only institution m the Principality which marked the combination of labours of thole two great men in the service of Weish educa h rf1"' heariHere ^e aspirations of Sh- Hugh Owen and the practical mm-Ji J labours of the IW John PhS brought into a focus, 11 pleased to find that in the pre,erf ? report of■ th. Co'Iege refercj wa?taX'to the great obbgation of the institution/an < obligation which was shared in by every I education institution in Wales, to the service of the Rev John Phillips in the cause of Welsh education. He was glad to learn that the perpetuation of the memory of the I Ptov John Phillips was a matter that was not hsi sight of. He thought it would be one of the first ambitions of young Welshmen trained at the College to do something to show that, whatever had the omission or neglect 011 part of the public men of Wales, they had not. foi gotten that the ad- vantages derived at the institution were due mainly, not to these who were lving now, I but to the "-ibours of those who had passed away, and especially to the labours of the Rev John Philips, who might be said to be the foundar ci the College. From his knowledge of ycung Welshmen they might feel certain that they wculd not forget to I push forward any scheme havirg for his ob- ject the perpetuation of the memcry of the Rev John Phi'"ps, and he hoped that every member of the committee and every sub- scriber would support any appeal in that direction. In conclusior he moved that the the report of the committee be adopted. Mr Thomas, Criccieth, seconded, and the motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr Venmore, a resolu- tion was adopted expresirg the satisfaction of the meeting as the marvellous progress of the educational movemert in Wales, com- mencing with the establshirg of undenomi- national schools, to which a powerful im- petus was given by the passing of the Edu- cation Act in 1870, and culminating in the establishing of the three University Colleges, and last year in the granting cf the Royal Charter to the University of Wales. The Chairman believed that a resclution of the kind wculd be helpful in givirg direo- tion to the Welsh national movement, and j in bringing p: assure to bear upor the autho- rities. The Government did not itself come forward to give effect to the desire of the Welsh people. In every part of Wales he had seen the patric ism of young Welshmen trained at Bangor connection with almost every branch of Welsh education, and he thought that this was a more valuable tes- timony to the character of the work done at the Normal College than the long list of academical distinctions that they had. It was a proof that these young Welshmen while at college were imbued with the spirit of true citizenship. PROPOSED JOHN PHILLIPS' SCHOLARSHIP. Principal Price alluded to the distinctions gained by old students of the College, and made specal mention of Mr Lloyd Williams, at one time schoolmaster at Garn Dolben- maen, who was recently appointed assistant lecturer and demonstrator in botany at the University College of North Wales; also Mr T. E. Jones, headmaster of the pupil teach- ers' centre at Bangor, and Mr Adams, head- master of one of the most successful elemen- tary schools in London. Referring to the late Rev John Phillips, Principal Price ob- served that if they were to let the present opportunity of doing something to perpetu- ate his memory to go by there would not be a possibility afterwards of doing anything. A painting or a statute had been suggested, but he believed they could get sufficient money to establish a scholarship, which might be called the John Phillips' Scholar- t ship (hear, hear). At present there was no scholarship in connection with the College. It was not outside the bounds of possibility to collect t-500, and he suggested that a com- mittee be appointed to take the matter into consideration. Mr David Hughes proposed that a com- mittee be appointed, and promised £50 to- wards such an object (cheers). Dr G. Evans seconded. The Chairman was pleased to understand that a movement having for its object the ( establishing of a scholarship such as was proposed had been initiated at the meeting f as it would have been a stigma upon the College had it been started by anybody out- side. He felt certain that Welshmen in England and Wales connected with educa- tion would respond to an appeal for sub- scriptions for the purpose named. The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
SOUND ADVICE.
SOUND ADVICE. In the ever-increasing struggle for exis- tence, there is little time to give heed to our health. Yet in all that interests us in life, there is nothing so important as our physical welfare. Mostly we are either Lat- tling for our livelihood, or, having this as- sured, we are wholly occupied in acquiring something in addition, and so engaged, we are apt to let the years go by with little thought of our gradually weakening oowers. There comes, however, a day of reckoning, when we would cheerfully give up wealth and hardly-won distinctions, if only we could regain the greatest of all blessings- good health—which once was ours. No longer able to ignore our infirmities, we re- flect upon neglected opportunities to take our ailments in time, and say to ourselves, with bitter regrets, if only we had taken the advice of others with the wisdom and know- ledge of bitter experience! But in the midst of our despair there comes the wel- come tidings that Warner's Safe Cure has never been known to fail any one who has I turned to this truly effective, sure and per- manent remedy. Below will be found copy of one of the vast numbers of letters that reach us daily from all parts of the world, and our patients are so desirous that others may benefit from the great and never-failing cure, that not only are they willing, but anxious to corroborate the statements put forward on its behalf.^ Mrs A. Kelty, Wood Dalling, Norfolk, Writes:—"Eight vears ago my husband was very ill. The doctor saw him, and pronounced his a very serious case, which afterwards proved correct for he was taken to his bed, and all agreed that he could not live. I stood by the bedside watching every minute for his death. When I was asked if I would try Warner's Safe Cure, I replied, My husband is now past taking anything, and all say he cannot live, but I will do anything if I couid 0 j his life.' A friend then gave me a bottle of \\arner s Safe Cure, and the first dose given showed that it was dom him good; after a few doses he became much better. So he kept on with it. until it made him quite well. His complete cure, after one year and ten months' painful affliction, was entirely due o arner s Safe Cure. Although six years a\e Pdssecl away, my husband is still in good ealth, but he is never without the mecacme in the house, and will recommend it to everyone who is suffering from a bad I liver. 0 This should be given the greatest pub- icitj, so as to induce other sufferers to itse arner's Safe Cure, and thereby derive the sa^e benefit as' my husband. "The above account is perfectly true in every respect, and anyone doubting the statement can address me, and I will gladly answer all questions."

ALLEGED SACRILEGE AT LLANFAIRFECHAN.
ALLEGED SACRILEGE AT LLANFAIR- FECHAN. PRISONER COMMITTED TO THE ASSIZES. At a "pee ;pl police court at Bangor on Tuesday, before Messrs W. Pughe and J. E. Roberts, a man named Henry Williams was charged by the police with breaking into and entering the Penuel Congregational Chapel, Llanfairfechan, on the 5th May, 1896, and stealing therefrom a box containing com- munion service, a flagon, two wine cups, two plates, and two table cloths, valued at E20, the property of the trustees of the chapel. Deputy Chief Constable Harries, who pro- secuted, said that the prisoner was arrested at Llanrwst on the 7th May, 1896, for this offence, but the charge was then withdrawn us the communion service could not be found. Some time afterwards the flagon and two cups were found in a disused quarry in the Gwydyr Woods. When prisoner was ar- rested at Llanrwst on the 7th May, 1896, he was asked by the constable there where lie slept the previous night, and the prisoner pointed to the Gwydyr Woods, which was the spot where the articles of the commun- ion service were found. The Rev Keinion Thomas, minister of Penuel Congregational Chapel, Llanfair- echan, said that there belonged to the chapel a communion service which had been pre- sented by a gentleman. They had been in use eighteen years, and were always left .n the chapel and kept in a box near the pulpit. Besides the flagon and two cups, which lie now identified, three plates and two clothes were also kept in the box. He found them missing on the morning of the 6th of May, 1896. In consequence of a report that a box rery much like the one kept in the chapel had been found in a field he made inquiries and ascertained that it belonged to the chapel, and it was by this means that he be-j came aware that the flagon, cups, plates, atd' clothes were missing. Joseph Davies, Glanywern, Llanfuirfech- an, said that he was working in iPennel Chapel on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of May last year. He was about the last to leave on the night of the 5th, the door being closed. On the morning of the 6th he was the second to arrive at the chapel, the door of which was noticed to be open about two inches. Wit- ness drew the attention of another work- man-too this. Arthur Cambridge, a porter employed at the railway station at Llanfairfechan, said dE- Temembered the night of the 5th of May, 1896. He was then on duty at the station until about 11 o'clock, after the arrival of the last train from Chester. Whilst in the signal box the signalman drew his attention to a man on the platform. He went to the man whom he found lying on a seat close to one of the waiting rooms. He shook him and turned him off the platform, but before leaving he asked when the next train left for Cardiff. He again saw him on the night of the 7th in the custody of the police at Llan- fairfechan. The prisoner was the man whom he saw then. Ellis Roberts, Penmaen Lodge, Llanfair- fechan, said that on the 6th of May last year he found a box (produced). It was empty and broken. He found the box close to Ha- fod v Coed, a place between Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr. Witness took it home first, and during the day it was handed on; to P.C. Pughe. William Williams, Penmaen Bach, said that on the morning of the 6th May, 1896, he was working with the bathing machines at Penmaenmawr. He and his son started for the house, which is about 5t miles from Llanfairfechan, shortly after 5 in the morn- ing, and while on the way .e saw a man, whom he now identified as the prisoner. He was carrving a parcel under his coat. Richard Williams, son of the last witness, 1 gave corroborative evidence, and identified the prisoner as the man whom he saw on the r the prisoner as the man whom he saw on the road. David Hughes, tailor, Trefriw, said th it between nine and ten o'clock on the morn- ing of the 7th May, 1896, the prisoner called at his shop and asked for work as a tailor. Witness gave him breakfast, but as he had no work for him he recommended him to po to Llanrwst, and in going there he would have to pass the Gwydyr Woods. He had no parcel then in his possession. R. T. Williams, a member of the Denbigh- shire Constabulary, stationed at Llangollen, said that on the 7th May, 1896, he was sta- tioned at Llanrwst, and in consequence cf information received he apprehended the prisoner on that date and charged him with stealing communion service at Llanfairfeh- an, but prisoner made no reply to the charge. He told witness that he slept the previous night in Gwydyr Woods, and pointed to a particular spot. On Monday last he went to the place pointed out, and ascertained that it was the spot where the articles were found. Thomas F. Shaw, Drummond Villa, Llan- dudno, said that on Thursday, the 17th .Juue last he went to Trefriw with a number Ci friends, and thence along the main road to Gwydyr Castle. Before arriving at the »at- ler place he turned into some woods to gather ferns. In the vicinity there was an old lis- used quarry. He turned a stone over to stand upon in order to reach the ferns, and under the stone he found the flagon. Sub- sequently the cups were found e'ose by. He j handed over the articles to Servant Grif- fith at Llandudno on the morning cf the 18th. Sergeant Griffith, stationed at Llandu lilo, said that the last witness, on the 18th of June, handed to him the flagon and two cups produced, and told him where they found. Ann Roberts, who keeps a small lodging house at Llanfairfechan, said that the pri- soner stayed at her house on the 4th of May, 1896. P.C. Pugh, stationed at Llanfairfechan, said that on the 6th May last year he re- ceived a complaint respecting Penuel Chapel, and Ellis Roberts, one of the witness, handed to him the box (produced) which was broken. About half-past ten on the niy t. of the 5th of May, 1896, he saw the prisoner at the Llanfair Arms, and about ele f.-n o'clock on the same night he saw him eoi-ig towards the railway station, close to whL:11 was Penuel Chapel. On the 7th of the d Te month he went to Llanrwst, acting upon in- structions received, and searched the pris- oner, but found nothing in his possession. Witness brought him to Bangor. Upon examining the box witness found that he marks upon it corresponded with the jt, 11s on prisoner's boots, it been evident that the, box had been broken open by stamping upon it.He charged the prisoner with the offanoe on the 22nd May, and he made answer thut it was God's fault, because He told him to do the thing, and added, "When you d (referring to the police) will find t k "e things, I will tell you the truth." He also said that he had never been to Llanfair- fechan. That (Tuesday) morning he again charged the prisoner, who replied, "Ikn >w nothing about it. You have charged and tried me before, and the people refused come against me. I slept at Cerrigydruid- ion in a farmhouse the night before I was arrested." Sergeant Evans, stationed at Bangor, said that the prisoner when charged by the last witness on the 22nd May, replied "th it God had put the things in his way, and when he -was in drink he could not rest the temp'a- tion. However, the prisoner subsequently denied having been to Llanfairfechan. Prisoner, who said in answer to the charge that he knew nothing about the articles, I committed to take his trial at the Assises, to be iifeid cn tilo 2; th inst. J
STORY OF A STRIKE. ,-
STORY OF A STRIKE. A SIXTEEN-HOUR DAY. The citzens of Leeds were on the tenter- hooks of a great suspnse. A strike was being waged at one of the gas depots, and Leeds had cause to beanxious. The crisis was at its height when a representative of the "Leeds Saturdty Journal" visited the works. "I want to see Mr William SmallwoocI," said he to a watchman. Two police officers sidled a step nearer. The reporter began to fel guilty, but prsntly a man walked smartly down the yard—middle-aged, bearing the stamp of hard honest toil, and the unmis- takeable traces of recent suffering. This was Mr William Smallwood, of 16, Bright j Areet, New Wortley. "Sorry to have disturbed you, Mr Small- wood. "Oh, I'm getting used to that! I havn't been in bed since Wednesday, :1.1".c1 this is Saturday night. We're working double shift now—sixteesn hours 'work and eight hours' rest. Hard?,Well it is, but I'm glad to be able to do it. I've had a knŠ spell of idleness-nine months in all." "Indeed ?" 1 "Police suspicious. 1 Ves, I was laid up with rheumatism. It commenced with swelling in one of my feet, and I knew it for my old enemy, having been subject to rheumatism for four years. I got worse, and soon couldn't crawl. I went into the Royal Bath Hospital, Harrowgate. The doctors said I should never work again. When I was in bed I was nearly driven wild with pain. Then the day of deliverance came. I was Veading about Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and their won- derful cures. I had little faith at first, but my mother bought me the first box. To my surprise I soon began to feel a little better. When I had only taken four boxes the swel- ling began to disappear, I began to walk about with a couple of sticks. Two more boxes, and I threw my stick away and went back to work. I'm working sixteen hours a day, sleeping without a bed, and getting my meals as best I can." "And you attribute this remarkable cure to-" "To Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and noth- i ing else." There have been more cases of rheuma- I( tism cured by this means than any other dis- order, except, perhaps, anaemia: both arise from the blood. These Pills, which sire genuine only with full name, Dr Wil- I liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, act directly on the blood, nerves, and spine, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of paralysis, scrofula, chronic erysipelas, neuralgia, consumption, rickets, St. f dance, nervous headache, &c. They are J sold by all chemists, and by Dr Williams' I Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, at 2s 9d a box, or six for 13s 9d.
