The Welsh Wesleyan Methodist Assembly. THE LANGUAGE QUESTION. The first meeting of the Representative Session of the recently formed Wesleyan Methodist Assembly for Wales was held on Tuesday at Machynlleth. There was a full attendance of delegates from North and South Wales. The President of the British Conference (the Rev H. Price Hughes) pre- sided, and that Conference was further re- presented by the Rev Dr Stephenson and the Rev Dr Pope. The Rev Edward Hum- phreys (Liverpool) was elected president for the first year of the Welsh Assembly; the Rev Rice Owen (Ferndale) was nominated to succeed him; and the Rev P. Jones Roberts (Chester) was elected secretary. The Rev R. Jones invited the next assem- bly to meet, at Conway. He spoke in English and there were loud cries for Welsh. — The President said it was essential that all ser- ious business should be taken iu English. Mr T. W. Griffiths, Llandudno, declared that there were many of those present who could not speak English. The President reminded the speaker that he spoke very good English (laughter). They should not forget that they were part cf a larger body (hear, hear), and that they should not ignore or slight the representatives of the English Conference, and who could not come down there and sit as at a dumb show. The As- sembly agreed that the next meeting should take place at Conway. The President then formally welcomed the new president to the platform, and the Rev E. Humphreys suitably responded. The President of the day (the Rev H. R. Hughes) then delivered his opening address. Seventy years ago Welsh Methodism had grown until it was necessary to have two dis- tricts. Those who read the history of Welsh Nonconformity would recollect that at the start Welsh Wesleyan Methodism spread like wildfire, but did not continue. One of the causes which led to this was the tempting offers made by the English Conference to Welsh preachers (hear, hear). Another difficulty was the bi-lingual difficulty, and an English solution was attempted. But it was wrong, and proved an utterly mistaken method. Ministers should know both Eng- lish and Welsh, and preach in both languages from time to time. God never intended that they should all be turned into English- men (laughter). He protested strongly that Welsh matters should be governed both pol- itically and ecclesiastically in harmony with Welsh ideas (cheers). He suggested that with the formation of the Assembly the size of the Welsh districts might be reduced and a synod for Mid-Wales formed in addition to those for North and South Wales. It was decided to send a message of con- gratulation to the Queen on the attainment of her eightieth birthday, and to appeal to the Welsh members of Parliament to pro- mote legislation for the enfranchisement of chapel leaseholds. The afternoon session t-th s mninly occupied in considering proposals relating to Wales's share in the Twentieth Century Fund, and on the suggestion, of Dr Pops certain modi- fications in the draft scheme submitted by the Welsh synods were agreed to. The proceedings closed with a public meet- ing in the evening.

The Proposed Purchase of the Menai Suspension Bridge. At a special meeting of the Menai Bridge Urban District Council on Monday evening, Mr Walter R. Jones presiding, a letter was read from the Local Government Board ad- hering to their opinion that they could not give their sanction to a loan by the Council for tHe purchase of the Menai Suspension Bridge. Mr George Hand said he thought the best thing they could do under the cir- cumstances was to let the matter drop. Mr R. G. Thomas was of opinion that the Office of Works would not have offered them the bridge if they thought that it would be illegal for the Council to take it over. — Mr J. D. Jcres wished to know if they could press the Office of Works not to dispose of it to a private individual. Mr A. O. Knight did not think that was likely, because he knew that a private individual had offered £lR,OOO for the bridge and the offer had been refused. Dr R. M. Williams thought the best thing they could do was to write to the Office of Works asking if they would sell the bridge to a Board of Commissioners. He felt certain that individual members of the Council would be ready to take it over, and then transfer it to the ratepayers for the public benefit after the bridge had been paid for.-TheChairman: Tho question ii whether they will regard the Commissioners as pri- vate individuals or not. It was eventually resolved to write to the Office of Works stat- ing that the Council were anxious to pur- chase the bridge, and asking that inasmuch as the Local Government Board would not sanction a loan, whether they would sell the bridge to a Board of Commissioners com- posed of local gentlemen, who would eventu- ally hand the bridge over to the public. With regard to St. George's Pier, the pro- perty of Colonel Bulkeley Price, Dr R. M. Williams said that he had bean informed that the agents cf Colonel Price would be willing to treat with the Council as to the disposal of his rights in the pier,and he moved that a letter asking if that was to be sent to Mr W. E. Jones, the agent of Colonel Price. This was seconded by Mr R. G. Thomas, but Messrs J. D. Jones and G. Hand strongly condemned the way in whieb the matter had been brought up. They held that nothing should be done in the matter until a letter had been received from Colonel Price's agent in an ordinary business-like way. The amendment to leave the matter over was lost, but it was resolved to defer sending a letter until the matter had been more fully considered.

MEtlAI BRIDGE SPECIAL POLICE COURT.—At a spe- cial police court on Monday, before Mr H. Bulkelc-y Pryce and Colonel Pryce, a tramp named John Williams, of Blaenau Festinieg, was charged on remand with housebreaking. Emma W'illiairjs, Lon 'Las, Llangejiuwen, stated that in January last she had occasion to leave her house for a short time. On her return she found it in a state of disorder, and on examination several articles of cloth- ing were missing. Police Ccnctable Hugh Jones deposed to apprehending the prisoner when he came out of Carmarthen Prison. The prisoner was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions.—A married woman named Catherine Davies, Glanafon, Bala, was charged with stealing a pair of shoes, the property of Elizabeth Owen. The defendant way committed to prison for seven days..—J. W. Davies (Bala), and Rachel Blackburn (late of Carnarvon) were also charged with stealing a pair of boots from a farm. The prisoners, who did not offer any defence, were committed to the Anglesey Quarter Sessions.

The "Deadly Lead." NOT THE ONLY DANGER. ♦ A TALK IN THE POTTERIES. By Parliament, public platform, and the press, widespread attention has been called to the distressing results affecting the operatives from the use of lead in glazes for china and earthenware. Indeed, so much has been written and' said, that a stranger visiting the Potteries and meeting a pale and palpably weak girl or woman might naturally assume that the delicate person in question was a "victim" of the insidious disease. But the odds may be that the strange; would be mistaken. There are treacherous causes of ill-health other than the dreaded "lead," says the "Staffordshire Sentinel, one of the most influential news- papers in the Potteries, which prints the story of a local girl. This young lady—Miss Mary Underhill, of 26, Peel-street, Dresden, Staffordshire—had lived up to eight months ago in an agricultural district, miles away from china or earthenware manufactory, and as she had not entered a pottery, she had made no acquaintance with the lead. Still, Miss Underhill was, up to a short time ago, a victim, to an ailment as terrible and as fearful in its effects. "About two years ago," said Miss Under- hill, "I was apprenticed to the dressmaking, but my energy seemed to leave me, and; I MISS UNDERBILL. I The Staffordshire girl interviewed by the Staffordshire Sentinel. (From a. photograph by Messrs. Lathom & Bott, Lor.gton.) could take no interest in my work. 1 had headaches, from which I was many times prostrated; my appetite was very fickle, sometimes allowing me to take my tood and other times not; and to aggravate my case my weakness was so bad that I was frequently seized with fainting fits. My colour left me, and 1 went about as best 1 could locking more like a marble figure or waxen model than a living person. Mother took me to several doctors who said that ansemia was the cause of all my trouble. The doctors had very' poor hopes of me. The neighbours said they had never seen a girl look worse. If I went upstairs I had to sit down before I could dress myself. I only went into the street once, and then I fell down in a faint. My appetite got worse, and if I did eat, I had acute indigestion, and all the time I was racked with neu- ralgia." Miss Underhill is now a healthy-looking girl, of winsome appearance, and a brisk assistant to her mother. "How came you to obtain such a remark- able revolution in your health r" was asked. "Well," said Miss Underhill, as her eyes lighted up with the pleasure afforded by the recital of her story, "one day my mother read in the Staffordshire Sentinel of the wonderful results achieved by Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people. We had also heard our friends talk of them; they had been recommended to us; a friend said they had done her daughter much good. I had been so discouraged, I did not like to see any more doctors, and to be quite sure of getting the genuine ones sent direct to Dr Williams' Medicine Company, London. When I had taken half of the second boxful my colour began to come back, my appetite became better, neuralgia, giddiness, and headache had disappeared, my strength began to re- turn, and my spirits were much brighter." "And have you kept on?" "Oh, yes; I had six boxes. I often say to mother that it feels like being in heaven, because I have been like a different person since I tcok them. People who saw me before and have seen me since, can scarcly believe I am the same person. I can now help in the house and take an interest in my dressmaking and. have got a new machine for that purpose." This is, of course, only one case among many thousands which Dr Williams' pink pills have cured. They include cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism, and sciatic. also diseases arising from impoverishment of the blood, scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs, ansemia, pale and sallow complexion, general muscular weak- ness, loss of appetite, palpitation, pains in the back, nervous headache and neuralgia, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria. These pills are a tonic, not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, and are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Hol- born-viaduct, London-, E.C., at two and ninepence a box, or'sit boxes for thirteen and nine. Pills sold loose or from glass jars are net Dr Williams' pink pills. And substitutes never cured anyone!

The Irish Eisteddfod. WELSH MUSIC. At the Oireachtas meeting at Dublin, last week, the singing of "Y Deryn Pur" by Miss Bronwen Jones elicited loud and long- continued applause. There was a large sprinkling of Welshmen in the audience, "Cymru am byth" being shouted and "Hen wlad fy nhadau" demanded and refused with difficulty, through the lateness. The crown- ing Irish address came from Father Conway, P.P., Galway, on "Our Shame or our Hon- our." The speech was a splendid appeal to the country to wipe out the disgrace of allowing its native tongue to die. Dr. Hyde testified that this speech proved Irish not second to any language for the platform or the pulpit.

Cycling. N. C. U. At a meeting of the National Cyclists' Union held at Liverpool last week, it was statcl(l, in the report of the year, that advisability of forming new centres for North Wales and jHercfordshire had been considered, but up to the present there had not been sufficient promises of support to justify the formation of such centres. A NORTH WALZS CYCLING RECORD. Last week Tom Lewis, a member of the Wrexham Cycling Club beat the Wrexham to Rhyl and back unpaced record by lOt minutes, doing the double journey, a dis- tance of seventy miles in 4h. 36min. losec. The previous record1 was held by W. H. I Cathrall. t .¡¡.<tl" I.

The Rector of Flint and the Late Ir T. E. EllIs. The Rev W. Ll. Nicholas, rector of Flint, writes to the "Times'"—The friends of Sir John Brunner have forwarded copies of his letter, which appeared in tue "Times" of Wednesday last, to every Radical print ii Walefe, with a request that, in addition to the letter, some adverse comments on my re- marks should appear in their columns. The command has been obeyed. Your well-known sense of fairness, and the knowledge that- you sent a commissioner to W ales to report on the anti-tithe war, which for a time raged with great virulence in some of the country parishes of North Wales, ran- ned by the leaders of modern Calvinism, cf whom I need only mention the name of the Rev Thomas Gee, of Denbigh, are my only reasons for asking you to place before the public in a very condensed' tormithe re'marks I made on the fourth Sunday after Easter from the Epistle for the day (St. Jamt's i., 17). Having spoken of the Bible as one of God's great gifts, I briefly noticed the awful conse- quences resulting from hostility to the teach- ing of the Bible, as exemplified in the lives of inuividuals who had been under the influence of modern Calvinism,, which is so bitterly op- posed to the Bible in the elementary schools of Wales. To this sect I attributed the pre- sent (a) increase of dishonesty in Wales; (b) the prevalence of deceit; (c) a readiness to accept any statement, witnout ve'rification if the Church can be injured thereby. (a) Under the first head I referred to the granite monument erected in the mountain parish of Llanarmon by modern Calvinism in memory of John Parry, who is credited with having started the anti-tithe movement in Wales. At the unveiling of the monument Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P. (a deacon of modern Calvinism), made use of this expres- sion "Religion was the keynote of the life of John Parry." I" asked what did Mr Ro- berts, M.P., mean by religion? Surely it was not the reJigion of Christ, which said "Render unto Caesar," &c. What Mr Ro- berts ought to have said was "Modern Cal- vinism was the keynote of his life, and this monument is erected by modern Calvinism to the glorification of dishonesty." In the first lesson of the morning service of that day Moses ordered that nothing was to ba added to or taken from the Ten Commandments. One of these commandments said, "Thou shalt not steal," and modern Calvinism by its erection of this monument says, "You may steal, but only from a clergyman." (b) Under the second head I referred to Mr Thomas Ellis, M.P. I first mentioned that he had caught his death cold on the night of March Oth, on which a blizzard raged, by remaining very late to support his friend Mr Herbert Lewis (as Mr Lloyd George ha.s publicly stated), who made a per- sonal attack upon me, and was made the laughing-stock of the House of Commons by Sir John Gorst, Vice-President cf the Council, who exposed the falsity of the charges made by Mr Lewis. I then referred to the large amount of money left by Mr Ellis, a man who had al- ways palmed himself off as J. poor man before the farmers of Merioneth. I have told Sir John Brunner that I had never seen Mr Ellis, and that my attack was directed against a system and not the individual—a system which had stunted the growth of true life in Mr Ellis, who might have been held up as an example to the youth of Wales to all ages; but at present Wales will not accept at deacon of modern Calvinism as a national hero. I may add that modern Cal- vjinism was worldly wise in starting the memorial to Mr Ellis on the day of the funeral, for the report of his wealth has practically dried up every fount of support. This is the best answer to Sir J. Brunner. (c) Under the third head I referred to Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P. (a deacon of modern Calvinism), who brought forward in the House of Commons unfounded charges, and backed those charges up by false dates, against the Flint National Schools. These charges were supplied by Mr Lewis's paid political agent in Flint. ThE, "Liverpool Mercury" cays The Rev W.H. Nicholas, rector of Flint, has sent to the "Times" what purports to be a vin- dication of his remarks concerning the late Mr T. E. Ellis but, though we are, we hope, duly impressed by his announcement that he is '"Proctor in Convocation for St. Asaph Diocese," we cannot congratulate him on the clarity of his reasoning. What is the situation? In a recent sermon the rector quoted with approval a letter written to him in which the opinion was expressed that "the will of Tom Ellis will open the eyes of the poor farmers of Merioneth, who have bee'n subscribing to his keep all these years." Sir John Brunner demonstrated this precious piece of gossip to be a baselcss fiction. The farmers of Merioneth merely paid their member's election expenses, and nothing more,, beyond a wedding gift and a share of the national testimonial. Con- fronted with this plain statement of facts, which showed that he1 had been guilty, of a want of charity, to say the least, the rector of Flint does not apologise, but merely repeats his offensive remarks, and even inflicts upon the readers of the "Times" a "very condensed" sum- mary of his discourse, whose heads are not numbered one, two, three, like those of com- mon men, but Alpha, Beta, Gamma, as be- comes the "Proctor in Convocation of the St. Asaph Diocese." It appears that sec- tion Alpha was an attack upon Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P. in section Gamma, Mr Her- bert Lewis was held up to reprobation; while Beta was devoted to vilifying the memory of poor Mr Ellis. We cannot see how the rector's baseless insinuations about the late Chief Whip are improved by making others equally baseless about other people. There is only one course open to the Rev. Mr Nicholas, that of humble apology. But such an act of grace is, perhaps, too much to erpect from a minister of religion who apparently thinks that the death of Mr Ellis was the outcome of a sort of retribution be- cause he h'ad taken part in criticising the rec- tor of Flint. These are his words—"I first mentioned that he had caught his death cold by remaining very late to sup- port his friend, Mr Herbert Lewis who made a personal attack upon me."

yo- The Alleged Scandal at Aberystwyth. ACTION BY THE COUNCIL. On Saturday evening Mr D. C. Roberts (Mayor) presided over a Committee meeting of the whole Council, called for the purpose of inquiring into the truth cf a statement made by Mr John Gibson at a public meet- ing, to the effect that there was a building at Aberystwyth in which little children were done to death regularly! all the year round, and that hé knew this to -e a fact, because he had! beten told so by an official, and from his own investigations had found it to be correct. The Town Clerk reported, to the Council the refply received from Mr Gibson in answer to a request to furnish the Coun- cil with the information in his possession Mr Gibson declared that he had nothing to say to the Committee, and that the official who gave him the information was not a town official. Mr Peter Jones said chat after the last Council meeting an inspector was sent down from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He made it his business to see that person, and what was told him in the presence of a police official had been put in writing. In his statement the inspector said that he haa interviewed Mr Gibson, and that gentle- man said that he did not mean to refer to any particular building, but an official had informed him that little children had been done to death by being fed on whiskey and sour milk, that they were the children of tramps, and that the officials knew it and would not do their duty. The officials who had informed him had been dead now for over 12 months. The society could not do anything, because the children were dead, and the inspector could tell Mr Waugh, the secretary, that now everything would be right.—(Laughter.)—Alderman Jones said that inspector added that after independent inquiry by himself he was satisfied that there was not the least foundation for the allega- tions.—(Hear, hear). He, Mr Jones, strong- ly condemned the action of Mr Gibson in refusing to give the Councl this information. 11 1011. Other speakers followed and very strong protests were raised. Some wanted to carry the matter to a higher tribunal, but the Town Clerk advised the Council that there was no course open to them. The only thing the Council could do was to put on record the results of the inquiry and an expression of strong disapproval of the action of Mr Gibson. This was done.

Valley Rural District Council. The ordinary meeting of the above Coun- cil was held at the Valley on Tuesday, Mr R. Gardner, J.P., presiding. THE TOWYN CAPEL FOOTPATH. The dispute as to the Towyn Capel Foot- path was again under the consideration of the Council. The clerk (Mr J. E. Hughes) reported that the committee had taken steps to open the path, but it had since been closed.—The Surveyor stated that he was of opinion that the action of the Council in the matter was a proper one, as the path was a public one. The Council will new take legal proceedings. SANITARY MATTERS. The deficient sanitary accommodation at Llanddeusant was reported by the inspector of nuisances to have been satisfactorily at- tended to.A committee was appointed to consult with the Parish Council at Trewalch- mai with regard to an alleged nuisance aris- ing from insufficient dranage at Gwalchmai village.—A letter was read from the Parish Council of Llanynghenedl stating that they fully agreed with the officer of health with regard to the water supply at Valley, and the sanitary condition of the well. They recommended that the well be covered over instead of being left open. It was agreed that the medical officer's recommendation be carried out.—Messrs Soames wrote that they would be glad to meet the Council re the water supply for the Black Lion and other houses at tlanficthlti. A committee was appointed to confer with the represen- tative of Messrs Soames and Co. THE ROADS. Relative to the diversion of a highway by 'Refail Hill, Rhoscolyn, the Surveyor re- ported that a wall was being erected by the side of the road. The stones required to carry out the work were ready.—The report of the Surveyor was read as to a complaint made by Colonel Hampton Lewis and Mr Beaumont, as to the highwavs in the parish of Rhoscolyn. Colonel Hampton-Lewis wrote that he was sorry that the read was unsatisfactory, and he also took exception to a sharp curve where carts have to go 10 yards out on the soft ground, and he trusted that this would be remedied. The Surveyor stated that the new road was not quite com- plete. The matter was referred to a com- mittee.—A deputation from Llanfaethlu ap- peared before the Council, and proposed to pay three-fifths of the expense incurred in making up the road. Mr Wm. Jones gave t notice of motion that the offer be accepted. THE DEVELOPMENT OF RHOSNEIGR. Mr T. L. Griffith, Aberffraw, moved that a parochial committee be formed for Rhos- neigr under Sec. 202 of the Public Health Act, 1875, and that a committee be ap- pointetd to revise the building bye-laws. He submitted that all the powers that could be exercised by the Rural Council be con- ferred upon committee. The motion was lost by a majority of one.—Notice of motion was given that the matter will be brought up again at the first opportunity.

Heavy Fines at Bettwsycoed. At the Bettwsycoed Police Court "n Saturday, before Colonel Johnstone and otneT justices, Mr Robinson Kay, proprietor of the Washington Hotel, Llandudno, was summoned for furiously i.riving his motor car on May 8 between Llannvst and Taly- cafn.—Superintendent Rees prosck--iit,-d.- The defendant, who did not appear, had writ- ten to Mr Humphreys, the clfrk, stating that he never rode more than eight miles an hour. It must have been the noise that attracted notice., because the slower a motor car the more noise it makes.—The Chairman That is no answer to the summons.—Super- intendent Recis: I apply that the case be heard in the defendant's absence. He is at 'I.. home, and could have attended had he UKea. -Mr Petit, Bodhyfryd, stated that he I heard the motor car coming, and tried to stop his wife getting out of the lawn to the road before it reached his residence. His wife was in her pony carriage, and he ap- prehended danger. Before he got to the end of the lawn the motor car passed at the rate of twenty miles an hour at least.. There was no sort of control over it, and it swerved about all over the road—David Owen said that the car went faster than the train: he should think sixty miles an hour. --(La ughter). It passed him before he could see it.—(Laughter). The Bench fined the defendant i:5 and costs.—Ge<orge Ed- wards, Llanrwst, was charored, under a war- rant with stealing holly from the estate of Colonel Higson, High Sheriff' of Denbigh- shire*.—Mr David Jones prosecuted.—The defendant was fined £5 and costs, or in de- fault a month's imprisonment.
