The Rev Dr Mcstyn, Bishop of Men e via, officiated at the opening of a new Catholic- < huroh at Barmouth en Tuesday. Lord and Lady Penrhyn are efceyng at Filey, and will return to Penrhyn Castle, Bangor to-day (Thursday). "L'Egliee Libre," the French monthly, which is giving much attention to the Welsh Revival has an article on Evan Robert6' speech at Bala. 'Mr Lloyd George, M.P., has definitely pro- mised to address a meeting at Wrexham at the latter end of September in connection wilh the Welsh Education revolt. Miss Rosa M. Lee, Conway, has been ap- oomted assistant mistress at the Festmog Intermediate School. There were seven ap- plicants. Eiigl;eb impressionis of Wake are always interesting. A visitor from a big industrial centre in the Midlands says that what strikes him most in West Wales is the leisurely gait and sobriety of the people. The youug women, our kindly critic observes, are, ae a whole, much better looking and pl-easan-ter than those met with in English towns. New reached Llanrwst of a fatal accident to Idwal Thomas, aged 19, a, son of the Rev William Thomas, Calvinistic Methodist minister, of Llanrwst. Thomas was an ap- prentice on board one of the Elder, Demps- ter mail steamers proceeding from Bristol to Jamaica. On July 31 he accidentally fell from the rigging on to the dock and was killed. He was buried at sea. Wilhelm Baekhaus, the Pianist, carried off the Prize, 5000 francs in the Rubinstein Competition held in Paris, against 36 other competitors from all parts of Europe. His performanc-e of the Rubinstein Concerto evoked from the Lamoureux Orchestra, the public, and the adj.mneators alike, a per- fect tumuK of applause, continuing long after Wilheim Baekhaus had quitted the Salle Erard. It will probably come a8 a surprise to most readers to know that there is more than one Carnarvon Castle. One, as everyone knows, is our grand old stronghold on the Menai Straits; the other is near Calder Bridge, in the county of Cumberland, as its name suggests, contains many relics of the ancient Britons, who were onee its inhabi- tants. One antiquary f-ays the name Carnar- von in Cumberland means "the castle over against Mona" (that is, the Isle of Man), just as its Welsn counterpart means "the oastle over against Mon" (that is, Anglesey). Only a few mounds, &c., occupy the site of the "former fortress, which probably led a chequered existence. A project is on !foot to invite' the Great I Central Railway to extend their system through central Flintshire, and, to strengthen the hands of the committee which tias been appointed to wait upon the com- pany, Flintshire Council is desirous of ob- taining from the different localities inter- ested information as to their industries and requirements. One such report has been re- eei-ved-from Halkin—which gees to show that owing to the heavy cost of transit which prevails in that district, the rich lead mines, limestone quarries, &c., cannot be profitably worked. Halkin 'Council, 'however, sta-tethat with a t-heaper and effective method of tran- sit such as the Great Central Railway could give, a very great impetus would be given to the trade of that locality. The "Political Notes" writer of the "Ob- server," remarking upcn the impression made upon the House of Commons by Mr Crooks, says he appeals to the House by his simple directness. He claims to be a work- ing man, and he plays the pa.rt without any strivings after the mannerisms of the role, using the everyday vernacular of a Cockney, and shaking by the hand a peer just as vehemently as a waterside lounger. When the terrace was at the hey-day of its five o'clock tea gaiety a few weeks ago, he caused a sensation by convoying thither a. little crowd of the women-folk from his constitu- ency, who addressed him as "Bill," and seemed delighted at the prospect of having a good' tstory to tell on reaching hi me. Mr Crooks was quite as delighted as his visitors. The event of the past week has been the opening of the eleventh annual summ >r mie-ting of the British Chautauqua at Aber- ystwyth. The sole regret has been the ab- sence of Dr McLaren, of Manchester, thi6 year's President, who, owing to the state of his health, has found it impossible to attend and to participate in what promises to be one of the mcst successful Chauta-uquas ever held. Annual meetings have been held at Pwilheli and Barmouth, but Absrystwyth now seems to have become the regular home of the members, who have shown their ap- preciation of the kindness of the University authorities in placing their buildings at their disposal by giving £ 20 scholarship for the past- two years. The subjects for discussion include "Sunday School Method," "The First Epistle to the Thessaloniaais," "Church His- tory of the First Century," ajid "Christian Evidences, with special reference- to modern controversies," and the lecturers include the Revs Professor Garvie and Dr Moffat. The annual sermon will be preached by Dr Clifford. I A prominent Cymro made a remark r3 cently, says the "South Wales Daily News," to the effect that if Welshmen ignored their language to the pouit of extinction, Provi- dence would raise a sufficient number of Englishmen to perpetuate the ancient tongue. The remark was doubtless based upon a sound view of men and things as they exist in Wales to-day. Mr Thomas Dar- lington, M.A., one of his Majesty's inspec- tors of schools in Wales, a native of Somer- setshire, is one of the best living masters of idiomatijc Welsh. Among the students of Welsh that are in attendance at the summer fc-hool now meeting at the University Col- lege, Cardiff, are many Saxons, whose zeal for acquiring a sound knowledge of the Welsh language exceeds that of many of the native Cambrians, who sit there also. A picturesque student is Mr J. E. Southall, of Newport. Mr South all is n. Quaker even to the lifting of "thou" and "thee" in collo- quial conversation, and he is a good hater <,f prefixed and suffixes to personal names. In cost;ime be follows the quaint Quaker costumes we see in picture books, but he is jot a sober-face, unless- he is attacking Welshmen lor neglecting their native tongue. 11 Then, indeed, he looks lightning, and speaks with a voice of thunder, and hie tongue be- comes as a douible-edged sword. His ac- quaintance with everything .that is favour- able to the preservation of the Welsh lan- guage is unlimited, and so insinuating is his Dersonaliifcy that it is only neoes&a.ry to know him, and a mew friend ie made on the spot. Hir oes iddoI It is announced that Colonel Ommanoy, C.B., has been appointed to the Welsh Bor- der group of regimental districts. Sir William Preece, F.R.iS., is president of the committee of an important electrical exhibition which will be held n London thi., autumn, and- is intended to cover every branch of the subject. The Dublin "Freeman's Journal" headed its brief eisteddfod reports as: "Welsh Eis- teddfod, London, August 10," &c. Perhaps it was under the impression that Mountain Ash was somewhere about Middlesex? Whilst the grouse in North Wales have In- creased and thriven enormously this year, in South Wales the condition for sportsmen are not so good, owing to an absence cf good breeding stocks. Mr Rudyard Kipling visited Builth Wells on Tuesdny. He motored up the Wye I Valley from Mafflllweh Castle and was do- lighted with the town and district. W. P. Howell, the famous Australian bowler, is a typical Welshman, although he was born and reared in the Southern Colony. Until a. short time ago he had a near relative living in Carmarthenshire, who had often expressed his intention of coming to see Howell play at Cardiff. The Rev E. Jones Will:'ems, of South port, has accepted the call to the pastorate of the English Congregational Church at Newtown in succession to the Rev J. Hugh Edwards, editor of "Young Wales," who is leaving in September for Dulwich-grove Congregational Church, London. Mr Jones Williams will comm-ence his pastorate on the first Sunday in October. The last of Dafydd ap Gwilym's 147 odes t o Morfudd has been tran- slated into English verse by Miss Evelyn Lewes, and is published in the August num- ber of the "Gentleman's Magazine." AfteT bewailing his ill fortune he concludes with the lines:— A love-struck victim, lost am I; Blown by the wind, I guiltless die. That inveterate wanderer, Bill Bailey, has included the W-clsh rational Eisteddfod in his itinerary. Gomer announced at Moun- tain Ash that a telegram had been received stating that Mr William Bailey was urgently wanted at home, and that he was desired to proceed thither by the next train. The joke fell rather fla.t-p-erhaps because it seemed a shame to impose on Gomer's iiinoeency perhaps because It was in Saxon. According to the "Newcastle Chronicle" ■(of all papers!) the Mayor of Cardiff had a remarkable experience a.t the recent Eistedd- fod. The following note was dropped at his feet from the gallery above "Dear Cousin,- I have not seen you for fourteen years. Meet me at the close of the meeting.—'Mary Roberts, Llanegryn." Llanegryn is near Towyn, Merionethshire, of which place- the Mayor, Mr Robert Hughes, is a native, and his cousin, who had emigrated to America fourteen years ago, recognised him in his mayoral glory at the Eisteddfod. A remarkable figure arrived in Rhos dur- ing the small hours on Saturday morning, when the inhabitants were disturbed by his continuous shouting through the streets. Making a halt after a few paces, bareheaded, and with uplifted* ihaud, he exclaimed, "Pre- pare to meet thy God, 0 Israel." Three times he ga.ve the cry, ard turning right- a-bout, he repeated it, and then went for- ward. tHe delivered the exhortation re- peatedly for fully five hours, and declared that it was a message from God, and that he ha.d walked from Scotland to deliver it. One of the stories with which Cynonfardd kept the Eisteddfod in good humour re- ferred to the controversy over the author- ship of Shakespeare's plays. This contro- versy was raging with great force in America, and interested a husband and wife who talked much about it. One day the wife said "John, when I die and go to heaven I will make a, point of asking Shake- speare whether he really wrote the plays or was it Bacon." The husband pondered a moment a.nd then said: "But, my dear, per- haps Shakespeare won't be in heaven." "In that case," said the wife, "I'll let you ask him." At the recent scholarship examination in connection with the Fest-iniog County School, conducted by Mr D. Thomas, His Majesty's Inspector, 58 sat and five have earned the special science and art scholar- ships granted by the Education Committee of the Town Council in conjunction with the Board of Education. They will be entitled to £9 in the firet year, E12 in the second year, and 416 in the third year. The five are John William Davies (who headed the list with 641 marks out of a possible 780), Robert Caradoc Davies, John Humphreys, David Griffith Lewis, and Ivor Lloyd. Six- teen ordinary entra-nce and three Oakeley scholarships have also been awarded. A disttrnguiehed Volunteer officer tells that some of the Volunteer brigade# in camp are being unduly bu-stledi Thie is ascribed as; being in conformity with the hostile spirit in which the War Office is treaiting the Volun- teer force. Among the instances cited is that of a Welsh brigade which received a brigadier the day before it went into camp. He was an officer who knew nothing about Volunteers, who cared less, and who nearly drove the men into mutiny. It is told of a (Scotch brigade which was kept out all night on its second day in camp, and was followed by regular officers with note-books to record any little defects and how many tell out. But they had nothing to note. There was a Rtirring 600ne- at the National Eisteddfod on Tuesday. Before the giving of the adjudication on the choral singing, Dr Gomer Lewis suggested that they might fill up the interval by singing "Duw mawr y rhyfeddodau maith." Mr T. Glyndwr Ri- chards, the Eisteddfod choir conductor, took up the baton, and the vast audience, num- bering at that time over 8000 people, sprang ,I ri 11 to their feet to sing the words to the tune of "Huddersfield" with thrilling effect. A high pitch of enthusiasm and religious fervour was reached, and the hymn was repeated over and over again, and the scene reminded one of a Revival meeting without prayers. Sir Walter Parr-ait stood as if transfixed, wondering and astonished. Mr Ellis Griffith, of the North Wales Cir- cuit, and member for Anglesey, has been playing an amusing trick on Sir Walter Phillimore, says "Vanity Fair." On an off day during the circuit they had been out motoring together, and in the course of the run his lordship perpetrated the witty opin- ion that motor cars had four speeds—namely, the rate according to the police, the rate as estimated by the chauffeur in the witness- box, the rate as estimated by that gentleman in the bosom of his family, and, fourthly, the true rate. As it happened, Mr Griffith ap- peared the very next day before his lordship in a motor car oase, and I am told it was as good as a farce, and much better than a play to watch Mr Justice Phillimore's face as Mr Griffith proceeded to plant the judicial jest upon the jury as if it were his "werry own."
* " NOT HONEST TOWARDS GOD."
NOT HONEST TOWARDS GOD." THE MISSIONER SOBS ALOUD. SCENE AT LLANDRINDOD CONFER- ENCE. Mr Evan Roberts attended th« visitors' prayer meeting at Llandrindod Conference on Thursday morning. So many took part that the meeting was prolonged till nearly 12 o'clock. Mr Roberts rose to speak, and said he would only keep them a few minutes. He had two things to tell them. Unfortunately someone at this Btage began to sing. •' The Spirit may tell y0u to sing." said Mr Evan Roberts, "but He has moved me to speak and I want to.' One of the a'nging leaders stopped, but the singing broke out elsewhere. Evan Roberts smiled, and shortly afterwards left the meeting. Mr Roberts was present, at the con- vention meeting in the tent in the afternoon, when Mrs Penn Lewis spoke with great power. The meeting was closed with the Benedic- tion, and the people were already leaving, when Evan Roberts, unable to restrain him- self longer, burst forth into sobs and prayer. The meeting then went on for another hour and a half, and there was much supplication. Mr Roberts spoke on two occasions in Welsh. He said he feared they had 1101. the presence and power of the Spirit because they were iiot,honest towards God. Man was too prominent, and God would not give his glory to another. He had not been able to give his message at the Albert Hall that morning, because there were those there who wanted to show themselves. They must all get out of sight, and if they made room for heaven heaven would come down to them. Jesus claimed their best, and they must give all to Him. He would make it easy for them to do so, and the asking of love ought to be sufficient. Once they gave Jesus their heart Ail else would be right. They must not light independently, but as a regiment; a lonely soldier in the Boer War would soon have come to an end. The great thing was to be made willing to be used by God. At the close several asked Mr Evan Roberts to say a few words in English, but he said he was only willing if God told him to. LLANDRINDOD CONVENTION. REMARKABLE CLOSING SCENES: RELIGIOUS FRENZY. The concluding meeting of the Llandrin- dod Convention was characterised by extra- ordinary scenes. There were over 2,00^ present. Mr Albert Head, the president, announced that they proposed purchasing a tent for about. £;>ÛO for next year's convention, and to hold a similar convention as that in Car- diff about February 12 for those who wore unable to attend the meetings at Llandrin- dod. Various anonymous gifts were re- ceived, one of .£25. A lady sent up her jewellery to be turned into money. At the conclusion of the addresses a prayer meeting was held. Welshmen predominated. Prayers, singing, and speaking were indulged in simultaneously. One man rose and quoted the passage: "But God was not in the whirl- wind—after the whirlwind a still, small voice, when someone else said, "Come, any- how. Lord, but come." At eleven o'clock the meeting was formally concluded by the singing of "God be with you till we meet- again but it was after this that scenes un- precedented to the English visitors' eyes were witnessed. Women shrieked out pray- ers, men flung their arms about and beat their breasts, while one man, kneeling on the boards of the tent, beat himself in a most ex- traordinary manner. Another man in the midst of the religious enthusiasm and the singing of "Oh, happy day," rose and shouted, ''Hip, hip, hurrah." At one part of the tent a party of English people would strike up an English hymn, which would im- mediately be drowned by the more resonant voices of the Welshmen. The meeting did not conclude until 12.30 a.m., notwithstand- ing the appeal made by the president at the commencement of the week that the meet- ings should conclude earlier, so that no noise should disturb the invalids who visit the Wells for rest and quietness. This prepon- derance of Welshmen was not anticipated by the organisers of the convention, but. ar- rangements are to be made for two or three Welsh services next year. EVAN ROBERTS AND THE GERMAN PENITENT. Another extraordinary scene, a sequel to the Llandrindod Convention, occurred at the Ystrad Boarding-house on Saturday evening. A few German delegates are stay- ing at this house, and were holding a private prayer meeting, with the Rev Seth Joshua present. In the middle of the prayer meet- ing the occupier of the house heard agonis- ing noises coming from the room above, and, on rushing up, found a German gentleman, one of the leading evangelists of Germany, rolling on the floor with contorted features and moaning. It appears that the German had come specially to Llandrindod for a blessing, which he considered he had not re- ceived at the convention. The cause of this, he considered, was that he had not confessed a particular sin, and he now wanted to make the confession. Prayers were offered up, and by this time several ministers arrived, in- cluding Principal Edwards, of Cardiff. Shortly afterwards Mr Evan Roberts arrived, and when the German saw him he flung him- self on him in his agony and remorse. Evan Roberts and the German then went into an- other room, wliere the German made a con- fession of his sin, and after Evan Roberts had prayed with him he became calmer, and was accompanied to his lodgings, in another part of the town.

The workmen who are engaged in the work of setting up the cables are eucamped' upon the mountain in bell tents.
.--.--.----WELSH BORDERERS…
WELSH BORDERERS AT SCAR BOROUGH. The 2500 men comprising the Welsh Bor- der Volunteers Infantry Brigade concluded their week's encampment on th-e Scarborough Racecourse on Saturday. Life under canvas on the lofty plateau had not been quite a 1 usury during the tiaining, for the days had been showery and tha nights cold. On Fri- day, however, who i the most interesting part- of the week's programme was carried out. bright sunshiae ana cooling breezes pre- vailed. An extensive tactical scheme executed by the four battalions of the brigade, with the biarer company from Hereford, cyclist de- tachments, and signallers formed the chief work of the day. The 2nd V.B. Shropshire Light, Infantry (Newport), under Lieutenant Colonel Burne, were supposed to be the rear- guard cf a defending "blu-o" force, retiring northwards, and the 2nd Royal Welsh Fusi- liers (Hawarden), under Lieutenant Colonel Willis, the 3rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers (Car- alarvoii), under Lieutenant Colonel Darbi- shire, and the 1st Shropshire Light Infantry I Shrewsbury), under Lieutenant Colonel Howard M'Lean, the advance guard of an offensive invading force ("red") moving in the same direction. The bluet; were strongly entrenched on the north-eastern portion of S-eamer Moor, facing south-west, and their orders were to hold that position against the enemy until noon. An attack on both flanks was made shortly befone noon, blank am- munition being used, while the blues had two Maxim guns to assist them. The attack compelled the blues to abandon ibeir position, and they retired in half com- panies on the old trencn fronting Row Brow Wood, where a last stand was ineffectively made. The three attacking battalions thus achieved their object. The Brigadier, Colonel Collette, watched the manoeuvres from the Moor with his staff, and in the afternoon he inspected the 3rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, whose appea- rance and efficiency gave him entire satisfac- tion.

JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD.
JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD. SOME NOTABLE TRIUMPHS. Wednesday of last week was a great day at Oxford (writes a correspondent), and though we are in the middle of the Long Vacation there were a good many undergraduates about, for it was the last degree day of the academical year; it was timed for the con- venience of those who have finished their final examinations in the different schools of the University. The group most interesting probably is that from Jesus College (of which Professor J. Rhys is the principal), which had DO less than 4 men taking degrees—one of them back from Jamaica for the purpose, and another from Canada. Among others we noticed ul-so the Rev David Williams, re- cently appointed to a post at Trevecca. Col- lege. This has been altogether a wonderful year for the old Tudor College, as it has scored no less thau 34 honours in the ex- aminations, namely • In Litterae Human- iores one first class (the Solva man, R. W il. liams), one second, and four thirds; in mathe- matical greats, one second and one third in history, one first, three seconds, two thirds, and one fourth; in natural science (chemis- try), one second and in theology, two thirds. Then come classical moderations with one first, four seconds, and four thirds, and mathematical moderations with four firsts and three seconds. The honesty of the tui- tion ia proved not only by the securing of places in the first class, but even more by the fewness oi the candidates who have fallen into a fourth clas-s; there is even a lower depth, vulgarly called a "gulf," in which no Jesus man is left floundering this time. Ono or two other points- deserve notice in this sum wary. The Jesus man who has had a first in histoi-y is one out of a, very few, as there are only eight in that class altogether, the history examiners being evidently bent on making the distinction difficult to secure. Last year also Jesus College had four mathematicians in the first class in moderations, but this year it. falls just, short of the quarter, as the class consists of 17. On the other hand, no other College has more than two men ill it, as com. pared with the four from Jesus College. This is Dot all. for two University prizes have also come to the College-the Gaisford Greek prose prize, secured by the Machyn- lleth man. Phillips, and the Russell-Welsh prize in human anatomy, secured by another Phillips, the son of the rector of Newport, Pembrokeshire. These facts and figures speak fop themselves, and make it evident to anybody who likes to study them that no College in Ord'ord provides better teaching than is to be got at Jesus College, and that no undergraduates in the University work harder. The city fathers of Oxford have helped to delay proceedings with regard to the building of laboratories for the College but their objections having been overcome the work will now soon be taken in hand. It is expected to prove not only useful to the Principality, but also an ornament to the Coll^gie a,s a. part. Qf Oxford.

WELSH MILITARY CENTRE.
WELSH MILITARY CENTRE. DEPUTATION FROM WREXHAM. On Thursday evening at the House oS Commons Mr Kenyon, M.P., introduced to, the Secretary of State for War a depirtaiioas from Wrexham to protest against the pro- posal to remove the military headquarter? of the Royal Welch Fusiliers from Wrexhaza to Shrewsbury. The deputation consisted of the Mayor (Mr Birkett Evans), Mr Ed- ward Hughes. Mr Thomas Sauvage^ and Mr W. H. Parry, and was accompanied by Mr ■Samuel Moss, M.P. It was pointed out by the deputation that the proposal to things as they are coincided with tho schemee of the War Office published at the beginning of the year. To alter the existing arrangement would be a mistake, both oa sentimental and practical grounds, for it -was a slight upon Welsh patriotism and mufi have some injurious effect on recruiting, be- cause Wrexha-m is the physical centre of the Welsh border regimental district. Mr Arnold-Forster reoe-ived the deputation with courtesy and promised that their repre- sentationa should receive the Ckrefaj consideration.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
A WORD TO THE WISE. The fickle nature of the climate of ille country often gives rise to a variety of ail- ments and complaints, which assuming tt first the form of only a slight indispositilor-. if neglected and unheeded may become the germ of serious diseases, which will nnder*. mine the constitution, and finally result in a long and lingering illness, and perhaps terminate fatally. The numerous cases of marvellous COW effected, and the restoration to perfect health, of those who had long suffered and had vainly tried other remedies, can b« accounted for by simply stating the efieett which Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters tc-9 upon the System. 1st. It strikes at the source of the disease, nnd by removing the causes of disease, ttwa evil effects soon vanish. 2nd. It strengthens that part of the system which is weakest, and, therefore. mopt liable to the attacks of colds and all dis- eases. 3rd. It purifies the blood, and thus pivoo new life and force to all parts of the body, for disease csnnot exist where there )ti » free circulation of pure blood. 4th. It gives healthy action to the digestive organs, and 10 the liver, thus aiding to keep away Indigestion, and the host --of different forms of disease which result from it 5th. By removing impurities, ctrengthes- ing the weak parts of the system, and purify- ing the blood, the human frame is well fortified to withstand the attacks of disease. It is repelled, and iis place taken by health and strength, through the etfectiv action of Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, The V Agt- table Tonic.
