Pesrhyndeudraeth Police Court. On Thursday, before Dr R. T. Jones (chair- man), Messrs E. M. Roberts, R. J. Morris, and W. Jones, a number of parents were fined for neglecting to send their children to sahool.-W. Owen, Bryngoleu, pleaded guilty to being drunk and refusing to quit the Penrhyn Arms Inn. P.C. John M. Jones was the informant. The defendant was fined 2s 6d and costs, and when asked if he would pay he became insolent, and said that he would go "to Carnarvon" for a fortnight. Inspector Morgan and the Bench repri- manded him. Ultimately he asked to be allowed a month to pay, and his application was granted.-Henry Jones, carrier, Pen- rhyn, was summoned for neglecting to main- tain his wife and children. Mr Thomas Ro- berts, clerkto the Guardians, appeared for the Board. Mr Rees Roberts, the relieving officer, said that the family were in receipt of 3s a week. The defendant made a rambl- ing defence, ami s.aid that a Guardian had told him to ry oar before the Bench in as foolish a manner as possible. But he did not want to do so. He wanted to be honest. An order for 5s a week was made.

Needful to Know the Road When John Gilpin started on that famous ride of his he was delayed a little by a chance for business, and had a bit of bad luck after- wards, but he knew the road to the Bell at Edmonton, and finally arrived there accord- ing to the programme. And that is the main thing. The best of us may break down on the way, but so long as we are dead sure it is the way we are notlikely to fail wholly in our purpose. The principle I am illustrating scarcely needs it. When we employ others to work for us, for example, it is-pleasant to observe that they understand what they are hired to do, and are making a neat and workmanlike job of it. Especially is this so if the job is important and we are in something of a hurry about it. And nbove all is it true when it Is one of relieving present pain and arresting the progress of dangerous disease. A doctor's job, of course, this would be; and we are intensely concerned that the man who undertake it should, in the highest sense of the phrase, know his business. That the road he must travel is often hard to pick cut; and his task is vexatious and dis- eouraging; yes, we must admit it so. Never- theless, there is no alternative. We are obliged to trust him, to look to him, to hope in his knowledge and skill, to place our weak I and suffering selves in his hands as lambs I nestle in the arms of the shepherd whom they know. If he is equal to his task all is well; if not-then what ? I "For some 35 years," says one who is able to speak intelligently on this point, "since I I was a woman of 22, I have suffered from dyspepsia and weakness. I was always weary, languid, and tired. I was seldom free from giddiness and pains in the head. I had no relish for food, and no matter how light and simple it might be I had pain at the chest and under the shoulder blades. I was frequently sick, vomiting a bitter fluid. I had also a gnawing sensation at the stomach which nothing relieved. Year after year I continued in this weakened state of health. As time passed by I was attacked with rheu-, matism, which affected my arms chiefly, al- though I had pain in a lesser degree all over me. I was quite crippled with it, being un- able to dress myself without assistance. I had my arms wrapped in cotton wool ana did all I could to ease the pain but got little I sleep or rest, night or day. "My limbs felt heavy, and the act of mov- ing about was painful to me. I got extreme- ly weak and life was a misery to me, but I fought against this feeling as well as I could. I consulted one doctor after another, and saw several of our leading physicians who gave me the best of medical treatment, but with no better result than to relieve me temporarily. They did not seem to get to the bottom of my ailment, and this was pro- bably the reason why their medicines and ap- plications were of no avail. j "In October, 1892, a small book was sent me by post, in which I read cf cases like mine being cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. Thinking it might help me I bought a bottle at Magor's Drug Stores, Corporation street. In a short time I felt it was doing me good. My appetite improved and food gave me less pain. So I continued with it, and gradu- ally the weakness and rheumatism left me, and ultimately I was well again and strong. Of course, it took me some time to accomplish this result, but I never looked back, feeling better and stonger every day. My friends wondered at the change and asked what remedy I bad finally used to cause it. I replied, Mother Seigel's Syrup, and that alone.' You can publish this statement and refer anyone to me or to my husband. (Signed) (Mrs) G. Wilson, 73, St. Clement's road, Nechell's Park !road, Birmingham, October 27, 1897.. Mr and Mrs Wilson are well-known and highly respected in Birmingham, and the lady is said to be particularly earnest in praising and commending the medicine to which she is indebted for her recovery. The reason why Mother Seigel's Syrup succeeded while other modes of treatment failed is sug- gested by the words of Mrs Wilson herself: "It went to the bottom cf her ailment." That is, it proved a specific for her true and only disease, chronic dyspepsia, from which the rheumatism arose, and of which it was virtu- ally a symptom. Had the doctors used it they would of course have cured her with it and obtained the credit for so exclelent a re- sult. But good work calls for the proper tools; and he who would reach his destina- tion must know the way.

Mr Lloyd George on Pitnalism. Presiding at the second annual Conference of the Baptist Students' Fraternal Union, held on Monday at the Westbourne Park Chapel, London, Mr Lloyd George, M.P., said the time had come for the centralisa- tion of Nonconformity in order that the Church of England might be saved from the Rcmanising influences which were destroy- ing her. If there was any Protestanism left among the clergy, it was too weak to be effective. Notwithstanding all the weapons which Parliament had put into the hands of the bishops, they seemed quite unable to cope with the evil. To-day the Church of England was corrupted by the practices which were committed within its pail, and if dis- establishment should come the Government and the bishops would only have themselves to blame. As a matter of fact the clergy defied the bishops'and pleased themselves as to the kind of service they conducted. It was left for Nonconformists to combine to prevent the Church of England from falling away from the primitive faith.

An Exciting Incident. A correspondent writes: Five men who were fishing on the Gader Lake, near Snow- don, on Thursday afteroon were witnesses of an exciting and unusual incident. They were coming down leisurely with the boat when, as they got within forty yards of the shore, they could see a large snake splashing in the water, and travelling from the opposite side of the lake. Its head stood cloan out of the water, and with gaping mouth, out of which protruded a fang about an inch long, it made .direct for the boat. The sight being quite an unusual one, some of the men were not unnaturally a little alarmed As soon as the unwelcome visitor got within reach one of the men dealt it a blow with an oar; but thif? had no apparent effect. for the reptile passed round to the other side of the boat, and it was then overpowered and taken on board the beat. The snake, which measured 34 inches was of small girth and was spotted black and white. It has been preserved by Mr Humphrey H. Roberts Rhyd-ddu, who was one of its captors.

The annual meeting of the Gloddaeth Habitation of the Primrose League was held at the Conservative Club, Conway, on Sat- urday. Mr Fincham, provincial" secretary for North Wales, presided. The habitation has increased its membership d'urino- tlm nn<t, 0 year, and its finances are in good state. Lady Augusta Mostvn was elected dame pre- sident, the Hen. H. Mostyn ruling council- lor, and Mrs Fincham hon. secretary. It was decided to hold a fete at Gloddaeth in September, on the invitation of Lady Augus- ta Mostyn.

THE RUSH TO KLONDIKE SOUND ADVICE FROM AN OLD HAND. In the rush towards the Klondjjce gold- fields there are thousands who are ill-fitted to stand the strain of hardship and exposure to be encountered on the journey there. Ill- ness, disease, and death claim many of the ill-prepared adventurers, and the following letter from one who has undergone these hardships and arrived triumphant, will prove interesting to readers, whether they intend travelling to the desolate gold-laden coun- try or not: — > Skagway, December 12th, 1897. Dear Sirs,-My object in writing this let- ter is to give a word of advice to those who contemplate going to the Yukon goldfields. For ten years I have followed the occupation of prospecting, timber estimating, and min- ing, and the hardships and privations which one has to undergo are enough to wreck the strongest constitution. In the spring of 1897 I was stricken with pleurisy, as the re- sult of exposure, and this left behind the seeds of disease in the form of hr-iri and kid- ney troubles. I managed to reach Vancou- ver, but did not have much hopes of recover- ing. There I was advised, however, to give Dr Williams' Pink -fills for Pale People a trial, and purchased two boxes. Before these were gone, I found beyond a doubt that they were doing me good, and their continued use "put me on my feet again." I then engaged to go to the Yukon countiy, and only those who have been the journey to Dawson City can form eve. the faintest conception of the hardships that have to be borne. I went in and returned to this place by the Dalton trail, which consists of 350 miles of old In- dian trail, starting at Pyramid Harbour. In going over the trail one has at times to wade through mud more that a foot deep, and ford streams waist deep in ice-cold waters. Before starting I added to my out- fit two dozen boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and I can honestly say that they proved of invaluable service to me, and I would strongly urge every man who goes in to take a supply with him. When I started for the Yukon my weight was only 149 pounds, and now, thanks to Dr Williams' Pink Pills, I weigh 169 pounds. I am soon starting for another trip to Dawson. This time, how- ever, the travelling will eb on snow.shoes, and you may depend upon it Dr Williams' Pink Pills will again form part of my outfit. I write this letter that you may know what your medicine has done for me. Every man, who undertakes the trip to the Yukon, will require something to keep his constitution sound in that country. My home is at Cop- per Cliff, Ont., where my wife now resides. Yours truly, JOHN PICHE. For climatic and other reasons liquid med- icines cannot be carried by the prospector, and here Dr Williams' Pink Pills will prove their superiority. They are not only the most effective tonic and strengthening medi- cine, but are in such a compact form that a supply can be carried in the nocket at all times. They cure anaemia, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, general muscular weak- ness, rheumatism,sciatica,chronic erysipelas, and restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splen- did nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' danco, and ner- vous headache. Obtainable of all chemists, and from Dr Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Ho lbornViaduct, London, at 2s 9d a box, or six for 13s 9d but genuine only with full name, "Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple." All substitutes under somewhat simi- lar titles are worthless.

Llanrwst Police Court On Monday, before Mr Isgoed Jones and Mr Watling, Edwin Bartley, carrier, Llan- rwst, was charged with stealing 52 wheel spokes, the property of Messrs P. and H. Lewis, timber merchants. Superintendent Jarvis prosecuted.—Mr David Jones, for the prisoner, now pleaded guilty, and said that drink was the cause of the whole affair. Pri- soner got on the spree, went to the shed where the timber was, and stole it to get more drink. He appealed to the Bench to treat the case under the First Offenders Act. —The Chairman said the lenient view as sug- gested by Mr Jones could not be taken in this case which was a serious one. The pri- oner would be committed for 14 days, but without hard labour. Perhaps a fortnight's rest would cure the prisoner's ulcerated leg, and induce him to give up drink —Hannah Bartley, wife of previous prisoner was charged with stealing two fowls, belonging to Mr Wood, Craig Person, Llanrwst. She pleaded guilty.-The Chairman said prisoner was becoming an inveterate thief through drink. The sentence would be one month's hard labour.

The Workmen's CompensatioaAct This Act, which comes into operation next month, affects a revolution in one branch of the law of a character so sweepir- and complete that its full importance cannot be realised till it has operated some time. The Act does not apply to the entire industry of the country, the measure would have been swamped if it had attempted such a thing. It affects railways, factories, mines, quarries, engineering works, and the building trades in the case of buildings which exceed thirty feet in height, and in the construction of which scaffolding or machinery is employed. This category certainly embraces a full half of the industry of the country; it includes all the most dangerous trades, and will there- fore overtake most of the accidents that occur. Within those limits, which are far too wide to be ealled experimental, as Mr Chamberlain, in attempting to justify the exceptions—such as the exclusion of agri- cultural labourers—described them, the old law is to all intents and purposes superseded. In the place of it we have the brand new doc- trine that if the workman suffers from an ac- cident seriously enough to keep him from work for a fortnight, he shall be compen- sated according to scale. It matters not how the accident may occur-it may be by what the law calls the act of God; it my be due to the negligence of a fellow-employe, or the in- terference of a total stranger; it is sufficient that if the accident is one "arising out of and in the course of employment, for the workman to claim compensation from his em- ployer. There is one exception, however- if the accident is due to the "wilful miscon- duct" of the workman no compensation shall he given. But such cases are few, and hardly deserve to be called accidents. Of course where the accident arises from the action of a stranger, the employer is entitled to in- demnity from him. but first he must com- pensate the workman without question. Similarlv he is bound to pay for injuries at- tributable to a sub-contractor, reserving his own claim for indemnity against him. The scale is limited and the method of applying it oheap. With all its limitations, which are many, the Act is a legal revolution, and opens up a road oijpr which the Tory party will have to trnvel further than it bargained for when it entered.

Daring Burglary at Llandudno. Early on Sunday morning, the establish- ment. of Mr Thomas Roberts, Roby House, Llandudno, was broken into, and a quantity of loose change left in the cashbox and draw- ers taken. The police are very reticent in the matter, but the circumstances4 of the case indicateu that the job had been one of a peculiarly daring character. This is the fourteenth case of burglary in Llandudno dur- ing the last twelve months, and of these the culprits in seven have been discovered.

Anglesey Farmers fined for Cruelty Some interest was manifested at the Menai Bridge rolico Court on Monday, in a prosecution for cruelty to animals, instituted by Inspector Dowty, of the R.S.P.C.A., against Richard Roberts, Pant Howel, Llan- degfan, and John Owen, Fodol, of the same neighbourhood, both being well-known farmers in Anglesey. Mr S. R. Dew pro- secuted, and Mr Thornton Jones appeared for the defence. The precise nature of the charge was the castrating of 13 bulls by liga- ture. Mr O. T. Williams, veterinary sur- geon, of Llangefni, and Mr Simpson, veteri- nary surgeon, of Ruthin, spoke to this mode as being most decidedly cruel. They denied that it was by any means a mode which was generally practised among farmers, the former adding that it might result in lifelong suffering to the beasts. Mr Thornton Jones said fhe mode of operation adopted by the defendants in this case was general in the county, and it was also the most painless known to farmers. In support of this ar- gument Mr Jones called Mr Hugh Thomas (chairman of the Bangor and Beaumaris Union), who spoko to the mode in question as having been practised for a lorge number of years by some of the leading farmers in tho district of Beaumaris. v. -her witnesses spoke to custom in the county. A fine of ten shillings and costs was imposed in each case.

A Carnarvon County court Case On Friday, at the Mold County Court, be- fore Sir Horatio Lloyd, Mr T. W. Hughes, Flint, said he had been instructed by coun- sel at Bangor to make an application with reference to an equity action in the Carnar- von County Court. The action was between Elizabeth Williams and others and Richard Lewis Owen and others, and related to the estate of a Mary Owen, who^ *by her will, desired to leave the whole of her estate among her children. She had lived with one Mary.Morris, and the latter, for some reason, had taken possession of the whole estate, and also of all papers relating to it. An order had been made by the Registrar to the Carnarvon County Court, for discovery, and also for answer to interrogatories, and to both these requirements Mary Morris re- j fused to comply. He was now instructed to ask for an order for committal against Mary Morris. The necessary notices had been given, but the woman seemed to treat the whole proceedings with contempt. It was most important that the plaintiffs should have discovery and also answers to the ques- j fcions. Mary Morris appeared to have the whole of the deeds relating to the real es- tate, and seemed to have possessed herself of the whole of the personal estate. — His j Honour said that was rather an awkward court for a woman from Carnarvon to get to. j The order for committal would, therefore, be drawn up, and sent to him for signature, but would not be executed before July 8th, to give Mary Morris an opportunity of appear-! ing at Chester on Thursday to show cause why the order should not be executed.

t Carnarvonshire Qaar tcrSessions j These sessions were held at Carnarvon on j Thursday, before the Lord Lieutenant (Mr J. E. Greaves), chairman Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., vice-chairman, and a large bench of magistrates. • CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY. The Chairman, in charging the Grand Jury, the foreman of whom was Professor Dobbie,liangor, said that he had hoped to have been able to congratulate them upon the extreme lightness of the calendar, and such would have been the case were it not for two indictments which were preferred almost at the last moment. The cases were four in number, and three of them were cer- tainly of a very trivial character. One of them, in which "a lad had been kept in prison for two months, ought to hii-v been dealt with summarily, and it proved the necessity of effecting some amendment in criminal law procedure. He ventured to caii the atten- tion of the public to the appeal about to be made on behalf of the Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, and to express a hope that it 'might meet with general response. The work which the Society did was a truly good and charitable one, and he could confidently commend the Society to the support and sympathy of the country. NEW MAGISTRATES. Mr Jonathan Davies, Portmadoc, and Dr H. Jones Roberts, Penygroes, qualified as magistrates for the county. TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Ann Williams, 40, hawker, of Bangor, pleaded guilty to a charge of maliciously wounding John M'Laughlin, with whom she lived, by striking him with the prong of a pair of tongs. Mr Dew, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the prisoner, after a quarrel, struck M'Laughlin in the eye with the instrument mentioned and inflicted injuries of such a nature that the eye had to be removed. The Bench sentenced her to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. M'Laughlin who was in court with his head bandaged, fell into a fit immediately the sentence was pronounced, and he had to be carried out, where he was attended to by Drs Fraser and Langford Jones. Owe. Owens, 16, and Edgar Griffiths, 14, errand boys, of Llandudno, were charged with breaking into a lock-up shop at Llan- dudno, and stealing therefrom a sum of money. Owens, for whom Mr R Roberts appeared, was sentenced to seven days' im- prisonment.—Mr James Marks, who prose- cuted in both cases, urged that with regard to Griffiths, the prosecutor be discharged from his recognisances, the fact being that the prisoner when before the magistrates was called by the prosecution, and consequently he incriminated himself.—The Chairman who remarked that the position was a very extraordinary one, said that the court would grant the application, and Griffiths was ac- cordingly discharged. John Williams, 49, labourer, for stealing a guiding side rein, the property of Mr John Owen, Bangor, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. NO TRUE BILL. The grand jury found "No true Bill" ag- ainst John Williams, of Ebenezer, who was charged with breaking and entering the cellar of the public house in the parish of Llanddein- iolen, and the Chairman said that the costs of the witnesses for the prosecution would be be allowed, with the exception of these of Robert John Williams, who did not evidently properly take care of his property. APPEALS. An appeal of some importance was decided. Mr David Evans- bufther, Carnar-ron; ap- pealed from a conviction by the Carnarvon borough bench for depositing for preparation for sale a cow which was found to be dis- eased. Mr Lloyd Carter appeared for the appellant, and urged that a distinction was made between disposing for preparation for sale and depositing for sale. The only punishment for the former was for- feiture of the carcase. In this case the car- case w.ts in the public slaughter house, and it was removed by the Corporation officials before Mr Evans had had an opportunity of satisfying himself as to its unsoundness. Mr J. T. Roberts represented The respondents. The court held that there was no evidence of the appellant's intention to sell the meat at the time its. unsoundness was discovered by him, and, therefore, the conviction j was quashed. On the application of Mr Ro- berts a case was stated. Owen William Owen, Portmadoc, ap- pealed against the decision of the magis- trates of the Eifionydd division, who made an order that he should pay for the main- fenance of the illegitimate twins of Laura. Mary Parry, also of Portmadoc.—Mr W. George appeared for the appellant, and Mr Jones Morris for the respondent.—The magistrates decision wasupheld.
