UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NORTH WALES. THE NEW BUILDINGS FUND. The task of raising during the next five years the sum of Llio-,CCO required to erect the new buildings 01 the University College of North Wales at Bangor, on a site pre- sented by the town at a cost of £ 15,000, equivalent to a subscription of 30s per man, woman, and child in the town is now in full swing under the direction of Mr L. D. Jones (Llew Tegid), the organising secretary. A vast amount of literature explanatory of the pur- poses for which the money is required and of the history of the college itself has been sent out as a preliminary step in the work, which is being proceeded with in a most methodical and systematic manner. Already a very gratifying response has been received to the tentative applications already made, and if the stream of subscription goes on at the same rate there is a distinct prospect of tne sum required being obtained within a reason- able limit of time. In his letter just sent out the organising secretary is merely asking for co-operation in the formation of local com- mittees all over Wales. It may be stated for the information of those who wish to tele- graph to the organising secretary that his registered telegraphic address is "Llew Tegid, Bangor."

BREACH OF THE SUNDAY CLOSING ACT. At the Carnarvon Borough Police Court on Monday, before the Mayor (Mr W. G. Thomas) and a full bench of magistrates, Ann Williams, the licensee of the Custom House Vaults, Carnarvon, was charged with keeping open her premises during prohibited hours; and four RN.R men named Sydney Jones, 44, Victoria street; W. Jones, Castle square; Henry Lloyd, Hole in the Wall street, and John Thomas, Castle square, were charged with having been found on licensed premises during prohibited hours.—Mr J. T. Roberts prosecuted on behalf of the police. Mi- Richard Roberts appeared for -the licensee, and Mr H. Lloyd Carter represented the men. Mr J. T. Roberts said that the male de- fendants were not Carnarvon men. Sydney Jones was an instructor, and the other three were on drill. W. Jones belonged to Port- madoc; H. Lloyd, to Bootle; and John Thomas, to Llanaelhaiarn. On Sunday, the 11th inst., Sergeant Rowland and P.C. Guest were on duty in High street, watching the Custom House Vaults; they were there with no other purpose. Mrs Williams was seen entering the house, followed by a man. Im- mediately afterwards three other men entered. Light was seen in the bar, and it was sub- sequently taken away. The constables knocked at the door, and a girl' answered. P.C. Guest told her that the police were there. A considerable time elapsed before the door was opened, and Mrs Williams even- tually appeared. P.C. Guest asked her if there were any strangers in the house, and she said that there was nobody besides the children. The constable was ordered to search the house, and he returned to the ser- geant, who stood in the doorway, and re- ported that he could not find anybody. The sergeant told Mrs Williams that they had seen four men enter the house; and another search i was made. Mrs Williams ultimately ad- I mitted that men had come into the house, and that they were in the cellar. The officers entered the cellar, which was a dark place, and saw the men hiding. In searching this room a glass containing some beer was found. Mrs Williams was tiien charged with opening her house on Sunday, and she said that the men were her friends. The men gave their name to the officers, and were ordered to leave the house. Sergeant Rowland gave evidence, corro- borating the solicitor's statement. He added that when the men were charged in the cellar, they said that they were not there I for any unlawful purpose and Mrs Williams also remarked that Sydney Jones had said that if he were reported he would be court- martialled. P.C. Guest also gave corroborative evidence. Mr Carter addressed the bench on behalf of the men, who, he said, bore excellent characters. He said that the men had a per- fect right to go to the Custom House Vaults on that night. They went there for supper at the invitation of the licensee. He (Mr Carter) contended that if Mrs Williams had told the police officers on their arrival that there were men in the house, and that they had gone there for supper, nothing would have been heard of the case. When the police entered the men became alarmed, being ignorant of the privileges to which they were entmed as guests of the licensee, and left the kitchen for a small pantry, across which a curtain had been drawn. Not a drop of drink was served to any of them. Mr Richard Roberts also addressed the bench, and said that the licensee, on her way from chapel, met the four men, two of whom had formerly lodged at her house. Sunday evening being the only convenient time at which she could receive guests she invited them all to supper, and they were closely followed by the police. The men were not served with drink. Evidence was then called. The four men swore that they had no drink in the Custom I House Vaults; they went there for supper. Mr J. T. Roberts (to Wm. Jones, one of the defendants): Why did you run to hide ? Were you afraid? The Witness: Afraid! Certainly not But was a bit scared. Mr Roberts What was there to be scared } about if you were on legitimate business? Witness Well, you see. sir, there's that awful new Act come into force (laughter). I am not enough of a scholar to know what is in it,, and I thought possibly it would be wrong if I were found there by the police (loud laughter). Mrs Williams, the licensee, also gave evi- dence, and denied that she served the men with drink. The Bench considered the case proved, and fined the licensee £3 and costs, and the other defendants 5s and costs each.

INFLUENZA INCREASING. The Influenza Epidemic is again spreading over the Country. The visitation is of a very prostrating nature, and the disease is cer- tainly on the increase. The origin of the disease or rather the circumstances which bring it about is as much a mystery as ever. You cannot trifle with Influenza.. It under- I mines the Nervous System to a greater ex- tent than almost, any other disease, and it is Pneumonia that kills, and Pneumonia strikes the man who imagines he has only a mild form of Influenza, and can go about the street just as usual. It can hardly be doubted that the prevalence of Chest and Lung Com- plaints must be ascribed1 to the Baneful in- fluence of Influenza, whose after-effects so frequently take this form. It was a bad day for this Country when this malignant scourge first visited our shores. Year after year it has never since failed to revive at its due time, and to extort) its tribute oi human life. Having observed its ravages, and its dreadful effects upon the constitution on the occasion of its former visits, we cannot but regard its racurnence with much fear, as a great many nave not yet, if they ever will, regain their former health. As a Preventar- tive, we know of nothing equal to Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. A few strong doses taken in time have often proved effectual in warding off attacks of this Malady, and always succeed in mitigating their severity when a patient is under their influence. Do you suffer from Chills, alternating with Sud- den Flushes, Severe Headiacbe, accompanied by difficulty of breathing, andl symptoms of Catarrh, Pains in the Chest, under and between the Shoulders and a. stiffness and soreness of the Muscles, Loss of Appetite and! Nervousness? If you suffer from any of these symptoms, know that they are the forerunners of Influenza and it behoves you to resort at once to a course of Gwilym Evans' Qunine Bitters. By common con- sent Patients everywhere admit that they feel more depressed and miserable after an attack of Influenza than while under its influence, and more than they feel after an attack of any other illness. The best way to banish these miserable feelings is to take Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, The Vegetable Tonic. We can strongly and confidently recommend tillS Preparation, as it has treated severe cases of Influenza, Heavy Colds, Extreme Weakness, and Langour, with greater success than any other known Remedy. We may also add that as a Remedy for Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Low Spirits, Nervousness, and Loss of Appetite, Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters stands unequalkd. It is sold in bottles 2s 9d and 4s 6d, by all Chemists and Patent Medicine Vendors, or sent direct, carriage free, for the above prices, by the Sole Proprietors: Quinine Bitters Manufac- turing Company, Limited, Llanelly, South Wales.

WHY SHE CAME HOME. DEVON GIRL'S CHANGED FORTUNES. A sad home-coming was that of a Devon girl, whose story the "Western Times" prints. "I was obliged to give up my situa- tion and come home," said Annie Martin, Langford House, S. Wonford, near Exeter. ''Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people gave me back my health and strength, which other remedies failed to benefit, even partially." The change in her fortune has been as complete as it is happy. Formerly despond- ent and unable to work, she is now both well and happy. And the fate she has escaned is a most distressing one. It was feared that she would have to undergo an operation. "After eating," she said, "I felt such distressing, stabbing pains in my back that my friends feared I had sus- tained an internal injury and would have to be operated upon." But the cause was anaemia—poorness of blood-for which, as in the happy case of Miss Martin, Dr Williams' pink pills are a noble remedy. "I had lost all colour," said she, "became gradually weak, and had no appetite for food. My feet swelled, and I had always cold hands and feet, while violent palpitation of the heart seized me on taking the least exertion, until I be- came a complete invalid. "But hearing so much talk in S. Won- ford, of the wonderful cures wrought by Dr Williams' pink pills, I resolved to give them a trial. I had not taken a whole box before I already felt brighter in spirits and after continuing them a little longer my appetite came back, the colour returned to my cheeks, and before long I was quite well. I never felt better in my life than I do to-day." A pale cheek, dull eyes, poor complex- ion, lost vitality, breathlessness and palpi- tating heart all show poor blood. The con- dition is dangerous; it leads to consump- tion too dangerous to neglect; too dan- gerous to play with, with substitutes. The pills that cure it are the genuine Dr Wil- liams', and they alone. Do not risk your life with purgatives or substitutes, but if you experience any difficulty in obtaining the genuine pills send two shillings and ninepence for one box (or thirteen and nine for six) to Dr Williams' company, Holborn-viaduct, London. Rheumatism, paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, and other diseases of the blood and nerves have been cured by the same means. Miss Martin had come home an invlaid. She was able to go away again strong and happy, admired by all her friends.

THE LATE BISHOP LLOYD. UNVEILING OF A MEMORIAL TABLET. A brass tablet to the memory of the late Bishop Lioyd was unveiled on Friday after- noon at the Dolgelley Grammar School. Hie Rev John Lloyd, rector of the parish, pre- sided over the gathering, which mainly con- sisted of old boys, some of whom came from ,11>;Lhnt parts of England and Wales. The Ilev M. E. \velby, in unveiling the tablet, said it was a pleasure to him to join in paying a tribute of homage and admira- tion to a great and good man. In his own schooldays in the early part of the nineteenth century there were no great schoolmasters. Not until the early thirties and later rose the names of Arnold, 'fait, Temple, Butler, Vaughan, and Thring. England was justly proud of its great schoolmasters. In Wales, too, they were proud of their great school- masters—for the late Bishop deserved to take his rank among the great names he had men- tioned. Bishop Lloyd had left his threefold mark on Wales. At Dolgelley he had done a great work. The late Dean Lewis, of Ban- gor, when rector of Dolgelley, had observed his sterling qualities, and prophesied that he would one day be a bishop. At the Friars School, Bangor, he raised a school whhh had been closed for seven years to be one of the finest schools in the country, with a roll of 187 boys. But it was at Brecon that h" mad'j his greatest mark, and at Brecon his health I began to fail. His pupils cropped up every- I where—in the Church, in medicine, law, and trade—and they all united in testifying to h's excellent qualities as head master. They agreed for instance, in bearing witness to energy for work, and to his laying a strong foundation in education regardless of super- ficial appearances. He (Dr Lloyd) was a foundation scholar himself, and lie knew the value of a strong scholastic foundation. He was always considerate, and never allowed the dull to be scorned or neglected. His pupils all spoke of him as a strict disciplinar- ian inside the school and a social comrade outside. The Rev E. T. Watts said that from what he knew of Bishop Lloyd, he believed that his bishopric would have been as memorable as his headmastership had uis health been what it was, not when he left Brecon, but when he went there. The Rev Edmund O. Jones (vicar of Llan- idloes), on behalf of the old boys, thanked Mr Welby for unveiling the tablet, and giv- ing them so interesting a sketch of the late Bishop's work as a schoolmaster, a sketch which he considered absolutely true, but in many respects new, even to the old boys who knew their old master so intimately, for they were to him not only pupils of a mas- ter, but children of a. wise, sometimes severe, but always loving, father. Mr J. C. Hughes. Dolgelley, as an instance of the sympathy and tenderness of Bishop Lloyd's nature, said that a boy during term- time at Dolgelley had lost bis parents, and became, so to speak, homeless. Dr Lloyd took him to his study, and cheered his heart by assuring the boy that, a3 long as lie him- self had a roof or a crust, he would gladly share it' with the orphan. "That was per- fectly true," said Mr Hughes, "because I was that boy." Votes of thanks concluded the proceedings.

— L SAD SUICIDE AT BANGOR. THE INQUEST: SINGULAR EVIDENCE Mr Bodvel Roberts, coroner for Carnar- vonshire, on Monday afternoon, at the Magistrates' Room, Bangor, held an in- quest touching the death of Franc.s Browne, aged about 65 years. Browne was a well-known figure in Bangor, and kept a steam laundry at Glanadda, but this under- taking proved unsuccessful. He then be- came somewhat eccentric in his liabits, and a few weeks back astonished the habitues of the police court by asking the magistrates for permission to carry a revolver, as he feared violence. The Chairman politely told him that the Bench were unablo to accede to so remarkable a request, but as sured him that the police would give him every protection. Soon after he appeared before the Bench and alleged that sonM person had raffled a piano without his per- mission, and when he was told that it was a matter for the county court he muttered that he "could not obtain justice any- where." His neighbours missed him, and on Sunday last P.O. Parry burst open the front door of the house and found him ly- ing, on the bed, having shot himself. By his side was a slate, on which he hai written his w;ll in German. The foreman of the jury was Mr A. -J. Downes. D.C.C. Harris appeared for the police, and Mr W. Thornton Jones watched the proceedings on behalf of Mr M. Law. less, Red Lion Inn, Bangor. The solici- tors' table was littered with broken -ar- ticles found in the residence of the de- ceased. P.C. Parry, stationed at Glanadda, Ban. gor, stated that he had known the deceased tor about three years. He was a native cf Belgium, and kept a laundry at Glanaddn, but did not do well. During the last SIX months he had not done anything, ani witness did not know how he provided him- self with food. Witness last saw him about a fortnight ago, when he made an application berore the magistrates. He had been strange in his manners for some time past. About three or four weeks ago he told witness that he was going to Livei pool, and there were indications that he Had gone. Last Friday and Saturday wit ness made inquiries, but nobody seemed to have seen Brown. Witness went to see Mr David Owen, who was the solicitor tor the deceased, but he was also ignorant of his whereabouts. Witness became sus- picious, and he went to his residence, the front door of which he burst open. Re ceiving no answer at the bottom of the stairs he proceeded to the bedroom, and after lighting a match he found the de- ceased lying across the bed with his head hanging over. He had in his right hand a revolver, which he gripped tightly, wit ness experiencing some trouble in removing it. lie had shot himself in the breast, but there was no blood. Witness reported the matter to the superintendent.—The Cor- oner Did he get any notions into his head r'—Witness He had very funny ways. The Coroner: He thought that peop!.1 were against him?—Witness: Yes, and he made an application to the magistrates for permission to carry a revolver, saying that lie was annoyed by his neighbours.— The Coroner: Did he say how he was an- noyed?—Witness: Yes, he said that they were throwing stones, and that he wis afraid that they would overpower liim. —Ihe Coroner: Did he complain to the ma- gistrates about -lir Lawless?—Witness: les.—The Coroner: Did you search the house ?—Witness I did. There was U'd in coppers and two crusts of bread. The mice nad eaten through the crusts. Wit- ness added that the deceased carried a sheath knife with him, and this instru- ment, which was attached to a strap, was produced, as also were a couple of photo- graphs which were found in his bedroom. —The Coroner (looking at the photo- graphs): What) are these marks?—Wit- ness 1 don't know. Thrt is how we found the-The Coroner: They look as if they have been perforated about the eyes.—In leply to further questions witness said he thought the deceased's behaviour was rather strange, but he found nothirg which would justify his reporting him to the superintendent. On one occasion the deceased said he was going to see his gravo at the Glanadda Cemetery.—Mr Thornton Jones asked witness if he found letters or documents in the residence of the de- ceased, in Mr Lawless's handwriting, and received a reply in the affirmative. One of the doc undents referred to was read bv Mr Thornton Jones. It was as follows — "Red Lion Inn, Bangor: I have known Mr Francis Browne for several years, and recommend him as a sober man and a man of trust." It was signed by Mr Law. less. — Mr Thornton Jones next read the following letter, which also had been found at deceased's house: -"Bangor, Decembar 10th, 1902.—Sir,—I have been consulted by Mr Michael James Lawless with re ference to your threats towards him,, and to inform you that unless you give au undertaking not to repeat them proceed- ings will be taken against you to have you bound over to keep the peace, as Lhe matter is one of extreme gravity. With reference to your County Court action against Mr Lawless, the summons has been handed to me, with instructions to defend. Mr Lawless does not owe you any monev; but if you think he does, and you care to come and see me on Friday next, I shall be glad to consider anything you have to say with reference to the claim, so as to clear up any misunderstanding that may be on your part as to the state of accounts between Mr Lawless and yourself. I nave full particulars of Mr Lawless's account against you, which you shall see. — Yours truly, W. Thornton Jones." Deceased never called in response to the letter.- Questioned by Mr Thornton Jones, wit- ness stated that when the deceased made the application in court he appeared. 0 have a grudge against Mr Lawless.—Was he in his senses or not ? I cannot say.- He was a German, and spoke English very imperfectly? Yes.-The Foreman of the jury: Was there any justification for the statement that he was in danger from his neighbours? None whatever. Fe never made any complaints to me. Dr. E. 0. Price, police divisional sur- geon, said he had seen the body of the deceased, which was that of a fairly well- nourished man of about sixty-five or seventy years of age. There was a wound just about the lower end of the breast bone. It was a wound very likely inflicted by a pistol shot from short range. In fact, witness would say that the pistol must have been inserted under deceased's clothing, as there was no sign of the clothing having been penetrated, and the appearance of the wound itself bore out that supposition. The bleeding must have been internal, and though he had not made a post-mortem examination he should say the bullet must- have gone through the heart. He had formed the opinion from what he had seen reported i» the papers that deceased was suffering from a form of insanity very dan- gerous to himself and ethers. Mr Thornton Jones: That being so, ;vas he likely to take offence against even his best friends? Dr. Price: Yes, that is one of t1 e features of that form of insanity. Mr Thornton Jones then handed to the witness two photographs through the eyes and foreheads of which-had been driven the point of a dagger or sheath knife (pro- duced). They were the photographs of one of the several persons whomBrown had sup posed were his enemies, and of his daugh- -er. Dr. Price, in reply to Mr Thornton ) Jones, said that was just the sort of thing ( a person suffering from the kind of insanitv 1 he had mentioned would be likely to do. He should say there was no question about the man's insanity. Colonel Ruck (Chief Constable) said the deceased had been to him some time ago, but he could say no more than had bedn said already. Mr Thornton Jones then, with the Cor- oner's permission, made a statement on be- half of Mr Lawless. Mr Lawless had be- friended the deceased when he was penni- less, keeping him at his (Lawless's) own house for eighteen weeks, and paying all his expenses. Mr Lawless afterwards at- tempted to befriend Browne in other ways, by selling some things for him, paying the proceeds to Browne in weekly instal- ments. From that moment he had had no peace, and his life had been openl y threatened by Browne with a revolver. He thought it was only fair that publicity should be given to that statement on behati of Mr Lawless. The Coroner, summing up, said the evi- dence clearly pointed to a case of suicidi I during insanity. The jury returned a verdict to that effect, adding an emphatic rider that, in their opinion, there was not the slightest just ficatioti for the remarks the deceased had made against Mr Lawless.
