CHRISTMAS FEAST UN- I TASTED. HOW DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURE INDIGESTION. Food if not digested is worse than wasted: it causes Wind, Headache, and Biliousness. Dr Williams' Pink Pills not only enable you to digest food', but also to get benefit from it. Simply stated, the above is the explana- tion of the wonderful effect in cases of Indigestion of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. They enrich the blood by their own power also enable the blood, which is the great food-carrier of the body, to absorb nourish- ment from the stomach, and thus do away with all the misery and wretchedness of Acute or Chronic Indigestion. Many people who, at one time could barely "keep down" the simplest food, and who went about, gaunt, sallow, Dyspeptic, cross and miser- able now eat well and digest well, thanks to Dr Williams' Pink Pills. Indigestion, is neglected, leads to ulceration of the stomach, to Liver Complaint, diseases of the kidney, and internal Cancer. It is a source of as much misery as any human ailment. Christmas fare is a source of misery if the digestion is not what it should be. A woman who owes health and happiness to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is Mrs Parks, 14, Barminigham street, Darlington. She said "At Christmas time I used to have all sorts of good things in the house, but I enjoyed them lesri than any of my family. I was under a, skilful octor. He gave me some medicine to take after my meals, and ordered me to take milk and light food. I had a bad stomach, he said! "That was about last Christmas, and although I followed his advice, I was suffering at the end of Januarv. WTien I ate at all I suffered terribly in my stomach, and a miserable feeling crept over me. I was filled with a cold like death. Neither stimulants nor blankets and hot water bottles in bed did1 me any gocxl. At Christ- mas I went to bed out of the way of the rejoicing. I became so weak that I began to think I was dying of Consumption. "But reading in a newspayer an account of a woman's illness just like my own cured by Dr Williams' Pink Pills, I asked my husband to get me some. The chemist pressed him to take some of his own instead, but he refu6ed', insisting on the genuine Dr Williams'. After I had taken that box I began to eat mv food again, and gradually improved; by the time I had got half through the first box I felt a different woman. Whereas before that I could not digest the finest food, after three or four boxes I could take anything, and I have literally lived on the 'fat of the land' ever since. Those whose digestion makes them to lcok on Christmas fare with apprehension will do well to prepare for the festive season by following Mrs Parks' example and fort,ifying themselves with Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They have cured, besides Indigestion and its results, Neuralgia, Anaemia, Consumption, St. Vitus' dance, Rheumatism, and other ailments. It is important to avoid sub- stitutes. Tha genuine pills alone bear Dr Williams' name, and they can be obtained wherever medicine i? sold, or direct from Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn Viaduct, London, price 2s 9d. Six boxes, 13s 9d.

LOCAL AND GENERAL i NEWS. At Llandudno police court on Monday Robext Owen Williams, secretary of the local lodge of the Operative Bricklayers' Society, was committed for trial at the quarter sessions on a charge of falsifying an entry in the cash- .y book with intent to defraud. Wm. Roberts, the treasurer of the lodge, was similarly committed on charges of falsifying accounts and embezzling a sum of L10 5s ljd. The Presf. Association is requested by the Deacons of the City Temple, London, to publish the following:—"It was announced at bo L-h services in the City Temple on Sunday that the Deacons have requested the Rev R.

The Deacons. desire to add that this arrangement refers rto Thursday only, atnd has no relation to filling up the vacant pastorate. A novel and successful defence ii,-as, raised at Oswestry police court on Monday morning by a labourei, from Trefonen charged with steal- ing ai pullet from a fowl house. The dead pullet was iclntified by the prosecutor, and even the boot prints corHespondfed with de- fendant's OOlOt. J-he prosecutor admitted feeding his fowls with meal and corn only. Defendant declared the pullet was his and' that barley would be found in its crop. The crop was opened and barley was found inside, the defendant wars thereupon discharged.

The money value of the scholarships and exhibitions won by pupils during the lafit 15 mosiuhs amounted to 21650. Speaking of the multiplication of examinations, Mr Russell said that one of the great ne ds of the day was due co-ordination of matriculation examinations, and the insti- tution of a. leaving certificate which under cer- tain conditions would, be. accepted by all college and universities as admitting to their course.

Therefore, the relieving officer is bo-und to see, notwithsiand. ing the discontinuance of out-relief, that the woman doeis nut. jarve. Mr White moved that a represeiitat'im of the matter shod. i e, made to the Local (Government Board bu the Clerk explamed that the Guardians had a1 ready supported a movement now on foot in favour of giving boards of guardians com- pulsory -powers.—The subject then dropped.

THE FRIARS' SCHOOL. BANGOR. A MEMORIAL TO THE LATE BISHOP LLOYD. The Rev I. Edwin Joneis, M.A., the junior vicar of Bangor, on Saturday, un- veiled a brass tablet to the memory of the late Bishop Lloyd, who was from 1873 to 1879 head master of the school. The Headmaster, Mr W. Glynne Jonesu The Headmaster, Mr W. Glynne Wil- liams. M.A., announced that he had been deputed by the K r,v Edmund Jones, vicar of Llanidloes, to see to the arrangements in regard to the unveiling of the memorial. Mr Jones, who greatly regretted that he was unable to be present, had been chiefly instrumental in organising the fund for the purpose of erecting the tablet. The Rev T. Edwin Jones, an old pupil of the school, was .then asked by the head- master to unveil the tablet. The Vicar said that he did not spend a very long period in the school with the late; head- master, but what particularly struck him was his restless energy and his great capa- city for work. It was no wonder to them as old boys that a constitution which had been working at .such high pressure all along should at the. end suddenly snap. The real wonder was that. it. lasted so long (applause). The energy of the late head- master was most infectious, and galvanised the whole school into general activity (applause). Daniel Lewis Lloyd knew instinctively the capacity of both man and boy. He could tell what a boy was capable of, and could judge the clergy in the same way. He went into the highways and by- ways of the elementary schools in Wales and selected the most talented boys there, to whom he gave free board and tuition, and many a Welsh lad who was in a high position to-day owed his succes. in life to the discerning power which the late head- master had (applause). As an ckl boy, he would always have a lasting regard for the late bishop, but, speakinq without the pre- judice of an old boy, he regarded him as the greatest schoolmaster who had b--Ien produced in Wales during the last two hundred years (applause). He did not think he would be guilty of extravagance of speech if lie were to call him the Welsh Arnold (applause). His elevation to the episcopal bench was of recent memory, and perhaps they were to-day too near to that event to form anything like an accurate perspective of it in all its bearings. But, short as that episcopate was lie did a great deal in it. His old sterling qualities which so contributed to his ImcceS6 as a school master stood him in good stead as a bishop. His strong common sense never left him. When he was elevated to the henelt of bishops he never lost his head, and from experience the speaker could assure them that the bishop's heart remained as warm and as generous as ever (applause). The title of the bishop to fame would rest mainly upon two things—namely, the central fund, which lie was the means of establishing in the diocese, which had for Its object the augmenting of poor livings, and the most excellent hymn-book which he compiled for the Welsh Church (applause). The me-morial was then, disclcsc-d to vic v by the removal of the drapery which con- cealed it, and the Dean of Manchester read the inscription, which is as follows:—To the glory of God and in grateful and affectionate remembrance of Daniel Lewis Lloyd, born September, 1843; died August 1899. Headmaster of Dolgelley Grammar School 1867 to 1872, Friars' School, Ban- gor, 1873 to 1879, Christ Church College, Brecon, 1879 to 1890; Bishop of Bangor 1890 to 1898. This tablet has been erected by old pupils." The of Bangor moved a vote of thanks to the Rev Edwin Jones. Professor W. Lewis Jones seconded the motion, and said lie might claim to hold a record in one respect among the pupils of the school in having spent three years under the late headmaster and five under his successor (applause). He came to Friars when it was a much bigger school, he was sorry to say, than it was now. In the year 1876 there were as many as 170 pupils in the school, when he came to it as a boy of ten. One of the most commend- able features of the late headmaster was the personal interest he took in every one of the pupils. Bishop Lloyd had trained as large a body of clergymen to fill import- ant positions in the Church as any other headmaster in Wales (applause). As a I Nonconformist, he (Professor Lewis Jones) could bear testimony, which every boy and the parents of every boy in the school would, he thought, corroborate, to the the scrupulous fairness of Bishop. Lloyd in all his dealings with his pupils (applause). The late headmaster had his favourites, bat as far as he was aware no one could com- plain of the principle upon which he made his choice-—(applause),.—-and the best tes- timony of his power over his pupils was the great number who left Friars with him for Brecon, a blow from which he thought the school had never recovered. It was a migration .so great that though he (the speaker) lived in Anglesey he was nearly caught in the tide of it himself (laughter). Bishop Llovd was the greatest headmaster of his time in Wales, and he left Brecon on a level with the first public schools of the country. The company then adjourned to the school hall, where the Headmaster took the chair, and in the course of an address said the ceremony that was to follow was not exactly a prize-giving, but a distribution of the Central Welsh Board certificates to the boys who had won them at the last examination. The nature rather than the number of these certificates might. ho thought, be taken as a guarantee that they were'still doing good solid work there, and were still turning out. Stich boys as had reflected credit on the old school in the past (applause). They would, for instance, be interested to hear that two old Fiiars hoys had this year been elected mayors of neighbouring Corporations Dr Charles Grev Edwards, of Beaumaris, and Mr James Porter, of Conway (applause). The winners of the certificate* were this year w I especially favoured by having them v put into their handfe by so brilliant a scholar as his old friend Principal Reichel (applause). There was nobody in, Wales to-day who was more sincerely in sympathy with the higher aspirations of the secondary schools than wrs Principal Reichel (applause). Friar, School in particular owed the Principal a debt of gratitude that couid never be erased from its annals, for it was he and one other member of the County Govern.ng Bèdy, Mr W. A. Darbtshire, who so influ- enced that. body not only by the timely counsel tliev gave at a critical moment tmi .till more bv their splendid g^reros.iy as to make that beautiful building in winch they were now assembled an accomplished fact (applause). Principal Reichel preseited the certifi- cates. one of which he described a. almos; unique for the honours inscribed upon it, imhI then delivered an interesting address. He said it gave him rather more pleasure to distribute tlwccrtificatrs than it would have if they were prizes. Class prize, he had always had a suspicion of, since he got. a good many of them at his own school. He doubted whether they did much good to the recipients, and he was quite sure they did a great deal of harm to the people I who knew they had no chance of getting ) them (applause). A certificate was of a different character. It was a legitimate object of ambition to every boy in his class, for they all knew that if they did their work well and took an interest in it, and co-operated with the master who J taught him, he had a good chance of get- ting a certificate. He was not striving after the impossible (applause). He regarded' the .system of certificates as a really valuable method of stimulating a boy's energy. The certificates were origi- y. 11 nally established to save the schools from the pressure which would be put upon them to work for all sorts of different examina- tions. Parents and members of governing bodies who did not- understand the internal economy of the. school would inevitably be inclined to require the master to prepare pupils for five or .six different examinations, a.nd the certificates were primarily estab- lished to enable the school to organise one single curriculum for itself, and by carry- ing out that curriculum faithfully to find that they would be able to say to the parents and the governors, ''It is quite unnecessary for you to prepare for this or that examination your boy has only to get his school certificate, and that will be recognised by the body in question as excusing from further examination" (ap- plause). He regarded the system of certi- ficates of the.Central Board as the charter of freedom of the Welsh schools, and he hoped that the day would come when the school-leaving certificate would be not merely the main but almost the sole avenue to the university colleges and the various professions in the Principality, as was tho case in the country in which education had been most highly organised'—namely, Ger- many (applause). When that day came we should know that all who were in the pro fessio;ns, at the colleges, and engaged in highly skilled occupations had been thoroughly trained before they started upon their career (applause). That school was one of very old traditions, and had done remarkable work in the past. It wa.s almost inevitable that the numbers in the school now should be less than they were in time gone by, as there were now so many competing schools, but he believed thoroughly that a school like that had great possibilities before it, and there was no reason at all why anyone should feel faint- hearted at the outlook (applause). Having referred to the place given in the school to the conversational teaching of French, Principal Reichel said he retained the view that the classics when properly taught formed perhaps the best memtal discipline which could be applied to the human mind. Greek was the most subtle language ever devised by the human race, the most deli- cate and expressive, and Latin was per- haps the most logical language, and they had between them a literature which was only matched by that of England. The force of a training in Latin depended upon the fact that it was entirely different in structure from which we ourselves used. To translate from English to French a word for word translation would suffice, with attention to certain idioms, but word for word translation into Latin was impossible. The boy had to try and get hold of the idea which lie wished to express, to form a mental picture of it, and to try to express that in Latin a8 well as he could. The more lie forgot the English in the process the more successful he was likely to be in the production of his Latin. That was one of the most rigorous mental exercises that could: be gone through, and there was no exercise for the logical faculty so admir- able or searching for a boy as the doing of Latin prose. But there was another even more important feature to be developed, and that was culture, which was that part of our education which trained not only the logical faculty but the artistic sense and the emotions and the imagination. It was not the language which would do this, but the literature which existed in the lan- guage, and it wa-s not until one got to this literature of a, language that it began to be a real instrument of culture. At the same time it was only late in a boy's school career that lie got to the point of enjoying what the ancient writers, the Romans and Greeks, wrote just as he would enjoy an English book, and in these early years, before one got to that point, one must get one's culture from the books in a language which one could understand easily (applause). Hence every good public school ought to encourage the habit of reading good English literature "applause).

MENAI BRIDGE PIER AND PROMENADE. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE. The Marquis of Anglesey has accepted the invitation of the District Council- of Menai Bridge to lay the foundation stone of the new pier and promenade, which art being erected on the banks of the Menai Straits, in close proximity to the celebrated Suspension Bridge. The ceremony will take place on Saturday next, December 20th, and is likely to be on an elaborate scale. The Council, during the last ses- sion of Parliament, obtained powers to con- sh ud. a new pier, promenade, and addi- tional waterworks, to cost in all-including purchase of certain freeholdls-a sum of £ 14,000. Xtcesrs Baker, Lees, and Co., of Westminster, and Mr Huw Rowland, Bangor, act as Parliamentary agents and solicitors. The works are designed by Mr J. W. Webster, of Victoria street, Lon- don, and are 700 feet long by 30 feet wide. The contractors are—for the pier, Mr Thorne, Westminster, £ 5949 and for the promenade, Mr Isaac Evans, Menai Bridge, £ 1564. On an average 70,000 passengers are landed there every year from different steamers, and with the extra facilities offered it is expected the number will be greatly increased, so that in the near future the ratepayers will benefit from the venture. Messrs J. Davies Jones (ex-chair- man of the Council), Cadwaladr Davies, J.P. (chairman), and Thomas Hughes (clerk), have done good services, both before and: during the passing of the Bill through Parliament. Given fine weather the day will be memorable in the annals of the district, aud the Marquis will be cer- tain of a warm reception from the inhabit- ants. The Marquis is rapidly becoming a favourite in the counties of Anglesey and Carnarvon, where he spends vast sums of money on charitable objects ojo —

MADOC MIDGETS PORTRAITS. IX. His movements are slow. He neither speakes or walks quickly. Yet he is quick to perceive whether an undertaking will profit him or not. In argument he is more than a, match for most of his opponents, especially on political questions. Some of his remarks cut to the quick, and show off an opponent to very great disadvantage. He has the advantage of being able to maintain his temper in the hottest con- troversy. He "puts things up" and "knocks them ùown" in the most deliber- ate manner. On occasions he is very amusing—say in a post-prandial speech, j Such a speech will reveal No. 9 as a man conversant with the works of the leading poets, more especially English. Why he has not taken a leading part in public life in the district it is difficult to say. He has occasionally presided at public meetings, and proved himself to be a mcst capable chairman. Hobbies lie has none. In the farming community his influence is great. Many persons interested in agriculture often consult him because of his experience and sound judgment. Once he was a member of the Urban Council, but he cared very little for it, and retired. It is a loss to the community that he does not take part in the public affairs of the parish. He is shrewd, and though more of a thinker than a speaker, yet, occasionally, he can speak well. interspersing his speech with most. laughable and humorous bits. If anything politically, he is a Liberal, but not of an advanced type. Y. -o-

N.S.P.C.C. BRANCH MEETING AT BANGOR, The annual meeting of the Carnarvon- shire and Anglesey Branch of the above society was lic-ld at the Queen's Cafe, Bangor, on Thursday. The Lord Lieuten- ant of the County (Mr J. E. Greaves) presided over a representative attendance. THE ANNUAL REPORT. The report of the Executive Committee, a summary cf which appeared in our last. week's issue, was presented and adopted. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The receipts of the branch for the year ended April oUth amounted to £ 178 9s Id, a deficit of tl32 los 2d being met, by the national fund. The district wnich sent the highest subscription £ 76 10s 7d was Carnarvon, Bangor being next with t37 14s lid, whilst Beaumaris sent £21 16s 6d. The Inspector's travelling expenses totalled zC69 5s Ud; legal expenses represented Ell Os lOd, and medical and witnesses' fee, f:56 Os 9d. The total expenditure was JE323 6s 2d. THE CHAIRMAN'S SUGGESTIONS. In moving the adoption of the report, the Chairman prefaced- his remarks by complimenting Inspector Owen on the manner in wnich he had discharged his duties. He hoped that very soon the branch would 'not only be sc it-supporting but would be in a. positic-n to help neigh- bouring centres that were in great need of pecuniary assistance. As far as hie could gather the subscriptions at present were drawn from four centres in Carnarvonshire and two in Anglesey, and he trusted the lion, secretary (Mr Ivor Price) would be able to establish other centres in populous districts, such as Penygroes, Portmadoc, Pwllheli, and Bettwsyeoed. He was glad to understand that a movement was on foot to establi-h a centre at Portdinorwic. He suggested that in the establishment of such centres the collectors should be impressed with the importance of securing small contributions, as in that way it was possible to greatly increase the sphere of interest. More attention should be devoted to subscribers of small sums than even to large subscribers, for after all the small subscriptions told most upon the finances of institutions, and they tended to interest a large number of people in the work of the society (hear, hear). In looking over the report lie failed to find that any Board of Guardians had contri- buted anything to the funds of the society. There could ba no doubt that the work of the society greatly helped the Guardians in their official capacity, and if they were properly approached he was sure that they would respond unanimously and liberally. He also noticed that no subscriptions from any chapels or churches were notified. He thought that if the claims of the society were brought to the notice of the places of worship in the two counties, its funds would materially benefit. The Mayor of Bangor (Councillor W. P. Matthews) seconded the adoption of the report, and said that it was gratifying to find that the society was continuing its good word. The society recommended itself by the results attained, and great satisfaction lay in the knowledge that it had been the means of bettering the condi- tion of poor children, and saving them from cruelty and neglect. He trusted that as the work of the society became more generally known the local branch would .become more than self-supporting. In order- to assist in a small degree to attain that end he would double his subscription to the society and trusted that others would do likewise (hear, hear). Mr Robert J. Parr, assistant secretary of the society, delivered a brief but inter- esting address dealing with the generaJ work of the society, and in support of the resolution said the report that was sub- mitted to the meeting was an indication. of the intelligent way in which, the work of thle Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Branch was being carried on. He pointed out that the society's work was mainly carried on by voluntary efforts, with tho exception of 190 inspectors, trained to the work. He paid a high tribute to the services rendered in the branch by Mr Rae, chairman of the Executive Committee, and by Mr A. Ivor Price, the Iron;, secretary. He emphasised the fact that the society was not a pro- secuting agency, and that the greater part of the inspector's work consisted of giving timely warning and advice to parents. I The report was adopted. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Th!e Dean of Bangor proposed, and Canon Fairchild seconded, the re-election of the Lord Lieutenant as president of the branch, and this was agreed to. On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by the Rev H. Rees Davies, the Executive Committee was re-elected!. The Dean of Bangor intimated that it wa,s his intention next year to have a col- lection at the Catliedral in aid of the society's funds (hear, hear). The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the Lord Lieutenant for presid- ing.

The annual speech-day gathering was held in the assembly hall of the .school on j Fridayl the Rev R. Williams, M.A., Llan- I llechia, presiding. | The Chairman referred to the excellent tt report obtained year after year by the school, and congratulated the head master ¡ and staff uponthl-ce results (applause). The school and buildings had proved successful beyond the wildc^ hopes of the most sanguine supporters who started it (applause). It had' become a. great power for good in the locality, and many of its pupils were now making their mark in the educational world outside their native neighbourhood (hear hear). Without de- precating or even minimising the import- ance of games, he impressed upon the pupils the fact that games were, after all, only a means to an end—better fitting the body for work. Work rather than play should be their aim and ambition (hear, hear). The Headmaster (Mr D. J. Williams) prevented the annual report, which stated that, in spite of the very adverse circum- stances of the neighbourhood—and out of the five years in which the school had been housed in the new buildings three had been years of strike,—the school had con- tinued to prosper. Although the numbers p 11 on the roll during the past year were some- what less than the preceding year, they were larger than they had ever been before the strike (applause). The building wcs full—indeed, an increased staff was urgently needed—and the financial posi- tion, having regard for all the circum- stances, was satisfactory. Incidentally he mentioned that 25 per cent. of the pupils in the school were in their fourth year or upwarùl-a most unusual proportion. The I school was a secondary science school under the Board of Education, a]d last year earned an additional grant of L120 for science worix (hear, hear). He impressed upon parents the importance of the fact that by the scheme pupils could not, except in special eases, remain in the school after the age of 17. As most pupils came in at 14 or 14, the margin of time allowed them 2 in the school, only 2 or three years, was too short to make the school and its train- ing have that effect upon them, and to be that influence in their after life, which was desirable (hear, hear). This was, of course, due to the scholarship limit of age being 14. But he strongly warned parents against the folly of keeping their children from entering the secondary school until that age in the frequently vain hope of winning a scholarship, which, even when gained, frequently only lasted for one year. The effect of this policy was that the pupil lost that valuable time from 12 to 14 years of age which was really indir-ppnsable to success at any secondary school (hear, hear). The Central Board's report on the year's work was also encouraging, especially as to Welsh, English, and -science. The school had developed markedly in. science and manual instruction (applause). In fact the success in this direction had already been so great that there was left hardly room for further development so long as the Welsh matriculation syllabus was so cramped and inelastic, demanding:, as it did, a knowledge of Latin and giving so little credit to science. The upper form of the school was controlled by this syllabus, and as a natural consequence the lower forms, leading up to it, were perforce also to a. large degree influenced bv it. Many old pupils of the school had dene well at the University College, on?, W. E. Wil- liams, being one of the three mentioned for j a Fellowship of the University of Ayales j (applause). Three old pupils were now undergraduates of the University of Wales, one. Ffrangeon Roberts, had won a Council exhibition at Epsom College, and on« J. Savin Jones, an entrance scholarship at Merchant Taylor's School. The Clerk to the Governors Mr D. G. Davies, then unveiled a memorial portrait of the late Mr W. Rathbone, M.P. This the Clerk had obtained from Mr Rathbone's family, and having_had it .suitably framed, presented it'to the school. Mr Rathbone had been a great benefactor to the school, in whose success he bad taken ft deep per- had been a great benefactor to the school, I in whose success be bad taken ft deep per- sonal interest. In conjunction with Mr Tate Mr Rathbone had given the school a sum of £1200. Appreciative addresses were delivered by Mr Davies, Mr John Jones, and Mr John Davies. The proceedings were enlivened by a musical programme. grvt-n by the. school choir, under the leadership of Mr E. D. Lloyd, music master of the school.

0^0— — ERRORS IN WELSH NAMES. )n the House of Commons last week, Mr Elr Griffith asked the Seci-etary to the Treasury whether having regard to the fact that the Calendar of Close Rolls, Edward III., 1339-1341, and the Calendar of Pai-ent Rolls, Henry V., 1422-1429, contained numerous niis-tukes in Welsh personal and place names, he would give infractions that in future su-ch Calendars of the Public Records as weia issued and contained entries of Welsh personal or place na-xes should1 be submitted to a competent Welsh scholar before publication. Mr naves Fisher replied (by pap r) I am informed thatt ttie errors referred to are not numerous or important, and. that the per. centage of eirors is not higher in Welsh names than in English or foreign na.mes. While the editors of the Calendars are always glad to lec:, ,:ye the help of competent scliolara and to give careful consideration to any sugges- tions. it is not considered desirable to adopt the course pacposed, which wouid came great delay in the progress of the Calendars, and which wouM necessitate similar action in th" case of nil other proper names.
