BANGOft AND SEAUMARiS GUARDIANS. The foi-fiijghtly meeting was 'pld at the Bangor Workhouse on Friday, th., Chair- man (Mr Hugh Thomas) presiding. FINANCIAL. The 'Clerk (Mr R. B. Evans) reported that the amount due to Mie union was £ 743 compared with £ 745 8s 3d a fortnight ago. 11 THE CASE OF A LLANDEGAI SOLDIER Mr Hughes, chemist, Bethesda, in- quired whether anything had been heard from the War Office regarding the com- plaint made by the Rev W. Morgan at the iast meeting as to the treatment of a sold- ier named Williams, living at Llandegai. The Chairman pointed out that the Board had not parsed any resolution on the point.—Mr Hughes: They might cor- rect- the errors in the neAvspapers.I,lr Harry Clegg observed that inquiries wer? being made. APPOINTMENT OF HEAD NITRSE. The sub-committee appointed to con- sider the ten applications for the post of head nurse at the Workhouse Infirmary, recommended that Miss Sarah Fussell Union Hospital, Rotherham; Miss Oeorgxna Jones, Holywell Workhouse; Miss Elizabeth A. Rees, Union Infirmary, Coventry; and Miss Mary Davies, 13, Elfed terrace, Bethesda, should anpear be- fore the Board. The committee further reported that the application of Mass Davies was received after the appointed date, but they advised that it be enter- tained.The Chairman: That is irregu- lar, and the committee have gone beyond their power in bringing four before us. Mr J. Evan Roberts also objected to the action of the committee, and it was decided not to consider Miss Davies's ap- plication at present.—Mr Williams, Rachub, asked if the three ladies selected by the committee understood the Welsh langnage. It was essential that they should have some knowledge of the lan- guage, as most of the patients at thf u\ firmaxy were Welsh.—Mr Hugh uen (Cefn) concurred, saying that as the matron did not the Welsh lan- guage it was very desirable that the nurse should (hear, hear).—Mr Hugh Willuvms (Gaerwen): Let us go in for efficiency ir- respective of language (hear, hear) .1 he only candidate who at the appointed hour appeared before the Board, was Nurse Fussell, the voting resulting as fol- lows:-Miss G. Jones, 18; Miss Fussell, 9- and Miss Rees, 1. It was decided not to' make the appointment until Jones (who missed her train) appeared be- fore the Board. At a subsequent staze of the meeting Nurse G. Jones received the appointment. A STATIONARY RATE. The Clerk reported that the amount re- quired for the purpose of the union during the coming half year was £ 7766, less V-38 received under the Agricultural Rates Act. -This would necessitate a rate of lid in tile. £ being the same as its T)redceessor.The Tate was adopted. THE SETTLEMENT LAW: NO ACTION. In accordance with notice, Mr W. Ro- berts, Bangor, proposed -'that an ™ ™nge- ment be made with the Carnarvon I n whereby the operation of the o ment and removal be suspended, except in the case of pauper lunatics m asvlum. Supporting his motion, Mr W Roberts re- marked that the Board had already agreed to the principle of his motion, by which they would enter into a practical arrange- ment with the Carnarvon rnion. He was sorry that the other unions invited to fall in with the arrangement had not seen their way to do so, and he thought that they were under a misapprehension as to the pecuniary loss on the year's working, but if they had looked further ahead they would have found that the statement of the unions balanced. He instanced Conway from where, according to the blue book, they had two paupers; one of them had died, so that they had only one belonging to the Conway Union now. The Conwav Union, on the other hand, had eight of their --The Chairman: Will you kindly confine yourself to the Carnarvon Union only.—Mr W. Roberts (proceeding) said that the difference between the Ban- gor and the Conway Unions in respect of non-settled paupers was greater ten years ago, but now the positions had been re- versed. With regard to the Carnarvon Union he found that three years ago the Bangor paupers in the Carnarvon Union rost £ 194 17s. The Carnarvon paupers in the Bangor Union cost £ 201, the difference being only tC). 9s 6d. That was in 1900.- The Chairman But the Clerk's returns show a difference of £ 14.—Mr Roberts pro- ceeded to explain the discrepancy^ and stated thn-c last year the Bangor Union paid C189 3s 6d to the Carnarvon Lnion, whose contribution amounted to E189 3s, t a difference of 6d.—The Chairman: 1 can- not agree with your figures. The differ- ence for that year is t30 lis 6d. Mr W. Roberts: That cannot possibly be.The Chairman: I am going by the Clerk's fltrures.—Mr W. Roberts Where does he Get them from? That cannot possibly be right. I am quoting from the blue book, and I challenge you or the Clerk to dispute the figures.—The Chairman replied that he was not quoting from the ^ll,« book, but from the Clerk's return.Mr W. Ro- berts My figures are taken from the blue book.—The Chairman explained that if Mr Roberts's motion had been adopted, the Carnarvon rllion would have benefited to the extent of £7 15s in 1899; JE14 5s in 1900; and £30 lis 6d in 1901 and £ 11 lis in 1902, making a total in their favour of £ 64 2s 6d.— The Clerk said that those figures were correct.—Mr W. Roberts: Is the blue book correct ?--The Clerk: Yes. —Mr W. Roberts: Then I am quoting from the blue book, which is from June to Dee.exiber, and to June back again. The Clerk's figures are from March to March. —Dr Roberts pointed out that the totals for the four years in both sets of returns must be the sai-ne.-Mr W. Roberts ack- nowledged that, there were differences in the totals paid by the two unions, but the advantages were many. There was no fear of litigation between the two unions if the arrangements were carried into effect; but if matters remained un- changed there was the constant fear of costly litigation. There would also be per- fect freedom for the poor to move from parish to -parisli.Nir T. Edwards seconded t'he motion. Mr W. Lester Smith agreed that the proposed arrangement would have many advantages, hut they would neutralised by the fact that it could onJy be partially carried out. If all the other unions had agreed to the ar- rangement it could no don bt be satisfac- torily carried out. He proposed that the question be referred to the next Poor-law- Conference, so that it could be thoroughly discussed, and Mr W. Roberts might read « paper there.—After further remarks, it was agreed to refer the matter to the Poor-law Conference, Mr W. Roberts re- marking that lie would not pledge himself to read a paper. PUBLIC VACCINATION. The Chairman remarked that there was "nothing special" in the reports of the vaccination officers. In the district- of Mr Robevt Jones, Bangor, there had been four I conscientious objectors. I VAGRANTS TO BE DAILY EXAMINED. I The Local Government Foard, by letter, impressed upon the Board the urgent necessity of vaccinating all vagrants re- lieved by thm.-The Chairman But we cannot compel them. I notice that some mrons have been bribing the vagrants.— Mr Harry Clegg thought that the Board should direct the master to exercise special care the vagrants so that any doubt- ful case might he immediately reported to the medical officer.-Di- Roberts did not think it was right to impose extra, duties on the medical officer unless he received additional pay.-It. was decided to instruct the medical officer to make a daily ex ami- ation oi the vagrants for a month. THE BANGOR CORPORATION BILL. The L-ocal Government- Board wrote stating that tlie observations of the Guard- ians in regard to the Bangor Corporation Bill, by mean" of which the City Council are seeking powers to appoint the poor- rate collector, and to dismiss the present holder of the ofrice on payment of compen- sation, would receive the attention of the Department.—The Chairman observed that the thanks of the Board were due to Mr Thomas Edwards, who referred to the matter at the public meeting of the Ban- gor ratepayers (hear, hear-).—Mr J. Evan. Roberts said that- the complaint of the Guardians would be carefully considered by the City Council. He had called at- tention to it himself.—The ("liairmaii stated that he had spoken to a city coun- cillor with regard to the Bill, but the lat- ter had not carried out his promise. FIRE PRECAUTIONS. Mr J. Gill, the Bangor Borough Sur- veyor, replying to a communication from the Board with regard to the pressure of water at the workhouse, stated that in case of fire the Corporation could not accept responsibility other than was placed upon it by law. THE MASTER'S REPORT. The ma.ster (Mr J. Jones) reported that the number in the house was 123, com- pared with 121 last Board day. During the fortnight 88 vagrants had been re- lieved, as against 26 during the corres- ponding period of last. year.—The Chair- man I don't know what is the matter.— The Rev W. Morgan suggested severer re- r-19 gulations in the issue of tickets.—Gifts for the inmates of the house were ack- nowledged from Mrs Clegg. Mrs Howard Lewis, Miss Vincent, and Miss Dew.
-_-.---WOMAN'S CHARM AND DR…
WOMAN'S CHARM AND DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS, "Let us examine," wrote a clever doctor, "what the world and the lover call Charm in Woman. This womanly perfection and subtle appeal are the counterpart of virility in man. Given this, the plainest of features become alive with the charm that wins hearts. Without it beauty is but a dead mask, impotent to attract. WTiat is it that makes some women wholly de- lightful, others insipid, dull, plain? The defect in the latter arises wholly from the lack of one other thing-abtindant, rich blood. Without it a woman cannot be fully a woman; she lacks the magnetism of her sex." Blood like this, poured into every vein by every dose of Dr Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, mant- ling in the cheek, and pervading every organ of the body, imparts the opulent charm, the more than magnetic attraction which, far better than cold, lifeless beauty, wins lasting affection; for mere loveliness of feature warms no heart without the characteristic charm of femininity. Health comes with it health is indeed THE WHOLE SEtTtET, but it is the health which new blood gives which we must str;V3 to attain. Women who would charm must not impoverish or waste their blood by taking aperient or opening medicines. Dr Williams' Pink Pills give strength, they do not purge it away. The following story of a charming lady soon to be married, proved this -"I had never been altogether well since I was twelve," said Miss Agnes Chamberlain. 32 Occupation road, Uxbridge. "Aching pains in my back and limbs made me very miserable. I was giddy and short breath—all signs of i-.iacin;a, or bloodless- ness. But worse followed MY LIFE! WAS THREATENED. At Brompton Consumption Hospital I was told there was. no hope for me. But the gentleman to whom I was engaged gave ire Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Before one box had gone I had begun eat better and enjoy my food: I was getting new blood. The) pains in the back and giddiness left, me; in not many weeks I was strong andi active again." MIEN SUFFER ALSO from anaemia, loss of strength, spinal weakness, dull pain in the loins, headache, fatigue, and a gradual draining away of the strength are all stowwd. by Dr Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They cure paralysis (of which numb limbs and a weak back are warnings), rheumatism, sciatica, St. Vitus' dance, skin diseases, indigestion, consulnp- tion.

;DISPUTE ABOUT A TOMBSTONE.
DISPUTE ABOUT A TOMB- STONE. CHURCH AND NONCONFORMITY. A QUESTION OF VENUE. OK Monday, in the Court of Appeal, ocin- sistirtg of Lordte Justices Vaughan Wil- liams, Stirling, and Mathew, the plain- tiff m the case Williams v. Williams ap- pealed from an order of Mr Justice Pliilli- more affirming an order of the Carnarvon District Registrar, who elirected that the action should be tried at Chester instead of t Carnarvon. Mr Brvn Roberts, M.P. (instructed i v Mr Ellis W. Davies, Carnarvon), appeared in support of the appeal, and said that the action was brought t>y an Old gentleman of 75 years of age, a Nonconformist parish- ioner of Llanrug, near Carnarvon, against the defendant, the curate of the parish, who had: beeai appointed in place- of a rector. The complaint was that the de- fendant took dcfwn and damaged a tomb- stone ibelongmg to the plaintiff. The short facts of tho case were those: The plaintiff, with the consent of the rector for the time being, put up a tombstone over the grave of his father, and later wheal; his brother died he was buried in the same grave, and for this purpose the stone was taken The brother was buried under a new Act relating to fees, and the plaintiff alleged that the curate sought to enforce the payment of fees which were illegal. The plaintiff, after the interment of his 'brother, put the tombstone up again, but the defendant threw it down, breaking the iron fasten- ings, and advised' the sexton to take it from the churchyard and put it into the street. This the sexton, however, did not do, -and the plaintiff replaced the stone. The' next morning the stone was found to have .been thrown down again, a.nd the plaintiff alleged that the act was that of the defendant, and brought this action. The Carnarvon District Registrar ordered that the trial should take place at Ches- ter on the repressentaion of he defend- ant that there would not be a fair and impartial trial in Wales, considerable feeling having been aroused in the case owing to the statement that- the dispute arose out of an illegal burial fee sought to be rreovered from the plaintiff, a Noncon- formist. The defendant further stated that the plaintiff had caused to be pub- lished in the local newspapers reports re- ferring to the case, and that in comser quence of this and other acts the defend- ant, if the trial took place in Wales, would be prejudiced. This, said Mr. Roberts, was not the fact. The only re- port referring to the case which had ap- peared was in the Liverpool newspapers, and that was a report of a certain inter- locutory proceedings in the Court of Ap- peal which appeared without comment of any kind. The plaintiff strongly pro- tested against the case being tried at Chester, not only on (account of the in- I' convenience of such at course, but also on the ground) of the extra expense. Lord Justice Vaughan Williams said that hoth parties were "apparently anxioais to have a fair and impartial trial, and therefore could' not some place agreeable to both sides be suggested? Mr. Roberts said that Beaumaris would suit his client. Mr. Justice Phillimore suggested four alternatives. He said the action might be tried at Carnarvon before a judge without a jury, in the Carnarvon County Court without a jury, at Chester with a common jury, or at Carnarvon with a special jury the fourth alterna- tive being on the understanding that the plaintiff deposited the special jury's fetes. The plaintiff was willing to accept the. last nltNfwtive, but the defendant objected, a,nrl Mr Justice Phillimore withdrew it. Mr Trevor Llojyd, for the defendant, submitted that it was impossible in the ¡ circumstances of this case to get a fair trial in Wales at all. Lord Justice Mathew said the learned counsel was indicting a whole country ¡ (laughter). Mr Lloyd said that this was realv a dis- pute between Church and Chapel, and the feeling was very high on the question of burial fees. Mr Bryn Rdbert-s was aware of this; hence Iiis anxiety to have the caes tried in Wales (laughter). Lord. Justice Mathew said1 it surely could1 not be suggested that twelve gentle- men of the county of Carnarvon would not be able to dispose of the case fairly and I impartiality. They would not be selected, and would probably consist of both Churchmen and Nonconformists. Mr Lloyd' said the probability was that cliiapel people would predominate, and it would be difficult for them to disassociate their own views from the case. He con- tended it had not been shown that the learned judge below in directing the ca.se shouid be sift. Chester liad exercised his discretion wrongly. In the first in- stance the place of trial was fixed by the District Registrar, a gentleman who was well aware of the local feeling aroused by the dispute. Mr. Justice Mathew asked what the objection to the tombstone wa.s. Mr Lloyd said there was no objection, and the defendant denied' that he removed it, except. for proper purposes. He alleged that a body was buried within a, few inches of the surface, and that for sasni- tanc purposes it became necessary to re- move the stone while a concrete casing wa-s put over the grave. This had been dene, and the stone replaced. If there was 'any physical damage it could1 not amount to more than a few shillings. Mr. Justice Matthew said there ap- peared to be a serious question of fact for trial, and, that being so it was a matter ZD for a jury. Mr Lloyd said) it wias quite clear that the plaintiff was not acting alone there were many people behind him who desired to htave the question of those burial fees ventilated in -Wtles. Lord Justice Mathew: Is amybody be- hind the defendant ? Mr Lloyd did not know, but ho hoped so—he was a curate (laughter). He sub- mitted that it was clear that the defend- ant woud! not get an imparial trial in Wales, Thud therefore the order of Mr Jus- tice Philleniore ought not to be interfered with. Mr. Roberts, in reply, said there was not a question that was not in dispute. Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: It would be a fine lesson in the pupil room, the drawing up of the defence of this action (laughter). Mr Roberts said1 to some extent this was a dispute between the Chapel and Church, but that. was no reason why the case should be taken across two counties for trial in England. He was quite wil- ling that there should be a county of Car- narvon special jury. Lord Justice Vaughan Williams, in giving judgment, said that it would be idle to ignore the, fact that in the county of Carnarvon taken a-s a whole there was a strong feeling upon the question of Church and Nonconformity, and every honest-minded man ought to wish to get this question tried irrespective of such feelings. In these circumstances, he hesitated somewhat at first to interfere with the discretion of the lord judge be- low, but he could not bring himself to think that even the question of Church and Nonconformity would have any effect c'n a; special jury drawn from the county o Carnarvon. He therefore thought the case ought to be tried at Carnarvon by a special jury drawn from the county; and he so directed. Lords Justice Stirling and Mathew con- curred.

This latter incident drew from Mr Clegg the remark that he ought to have, removed his cap when taking the oath at any rate, whereupon Dew- hurst removed it for a moment, and then re- placed it. The Chairman (with a puzzled look): Have you the privilege of wearing your caps in court? Corporal Dcwliurst: Yes sir: we always wear them in court 'then on duty. P.C. Griffiths gave evidencve as to his cap- ture of the prisoner, for whom he had been looking for twelve months, and at the sugges- tion of Supt.

■A BANGOR PUBLICAN FINED.
■ A BANGOR PUBLICAN FINED. At a special court at Bangor on Thursday John Gregson, licensee of the Star Hotel, Bangor, was charged with permitting drunkenness on his premises cm the 11th inst. and also with keeping open during closing hours. Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted on behalf I of the police. and Mr H. Vincent defended. Mr Dew said that, as he was instructed, P.C. Robert Jones passing the Star Hotel, about 11 p.m. noticed a Mr [Maguire, of Upper Bangor, standing at t,he door of the hotel, talking to the licensee and then entering the hotel, the door of which was closed behind him. At one o'clock the following morning the same officer heard loud talking in the par- lour of the hotel, which was lit up. Going close to the window, he heard the voices 8i the licensee and another person, and came to the conclusion that the speakers were under the influence of drink. Jones went down to the police station and brought up Sergeant Jones and another officer. They found the Star quiet and in darkness. They proceeded down Glanrafon, and found Maguire lying on his back on the road. Jones said he had. never seen a man so helplessly drunk in his life. The police carried the man to the Star Hotel. Mrs Gregson was asked if she knew the man. She said "No." Sergeant Jones then said, "Didn't lie come out of this house about a quarter of an hour ago!" Mrs Gregson then looked at the man and said, "Yes, lie is Mr Maguire, of Upper Bangor." Sergeant Jones then asked for M.r Gregson. who also denied knowing the man at first, but when P.C. Jones said "Didn't I see you talking with him at closing time?'' Gregson said that was so. Maguire had come to the house about 10.30 the previous night and left about half an hour before the police came. In reply to Sergeant Jones, Gregson said he knew it was then two o'clo k, and as a matter of fact the Cathedral clock, immediately opposite, struck two whilst they were talking. P.C. Jones and Sergeant. Jones gave evi- dence in support. Mr Vincent, dealing with the charge of keeping open, submitted that taking the legal definition of the offence, tuere was not an atom of evidence in support of the charge, He quoted a number of cases on the point, and asked the bench for a. ruling. The bench conferred, and ruled in favour ei Mr Vincent. Mr Dew said it was very curious that the bench should decide that point- without hear- ing him. The bench asked what he had to say. Mr Dew then contended that, despite Mr Vincent's quoted cases and arguments, his evi- dence proved a case of "keeping open." The Chairman, after further consultation with his colleagues, said that whatever their feelings might be, the cases quot-ed by Mr Vincent were too strong for them, and they therefore dismissed the charge of keeping open during closing hours. Mr Vincent then addressed himself to tne charge of permitting drunkenness, and said when the policeman first saw Maguire at the door of the Star Hotel Maguire was undoubt- edly under the influence of drink. Mr Greg- son, however, thought it was something more, I and that Maguire had had a slight stroke, and persuaded him to come in and stay the night. This Maguire agreed to do, and en- tered the house, and a bed was prepared for him, but after a long talk, during which, up to one o'clock, not a drop of drink was served to Maguire, Maguire suddenly made up his mind not to stay the night but to go home. Those were the statements his client would swear to, and it was for the bench to decide whether they represented tile actual facts of the case. If they did, then it was certainly not a case of permitting drunkenness. It would be monstrous if, when guests at a large hotel went out for an evening, got too much drink and then returned to his hotel and was taken in, the licensee of that hotel were charged with permitting drunkenness. Mr Harry Clegg: But a drunken man can- not claim a. bed. j Mr Vincent held that a licensee was en- titled to give even a drunken man a bed if he applied for it. Mr Clegg: He does it at his own risk. Mr Vincent held there was no risk of being convicted for permitting drunkenness. Mr Gregson. the licensee, then went into the box, and said that finding Maguire seriously unwell and' advised him to take a bed and have supper with him and then go to bed. This Maguire agreed to, but then they got into conversation about different matters till about one o'clock. During the whole of the time he was in the house, neither he nor Maguire had a drop of drink. Ultimately Maguire decided to go home and went out. Maguire had had some drink, and in fact had told him where he had got it. Maguire never asked for a drink during the' whole time he was in his house after eleven, and lie talked quite rationally all the time. Maguire. a surveyor, said he had been suffer- ing from "turning of the stomach" for the I previous few days, and had gone a good deal I without food in consequence. Consequently a little drink would have an effect on him. He called at the Star Hotel on the evening in question to speak to his old friend Gregson about a possible appointment for Gregson s son. For the rest he corroborated Gregson's statements. He might have had something to drink at the Star between 10.45 and 11 o'clock, but lie had not a drop afterwards. He was net so helpless as the police had made out. After a short consultation the Bench found the charge against Gregson of permitting drunkenness proved, anu fined him Bo and costs. They ordered the Clerk to report the fact to the owners of the premises and to place the conviction on record. With regard to charges against Maguire of being drunk and of being found on licensed premises during closing hours, Mr Vincent said that with the consent of the police the latter charge would be withdrawn and his client would plead guilty to a charge of simple drunkenness.—The Chairman then, addressing Maguire, said the magistrates all knew him, and were sorry to see him where he was. Yielding to the plea of Mr Vincent, they would only inflict on him the mitigated fine of 5s and costs. --+
