The late Lord Anglesey changed tne name of the fine mansion to Anglesey Castle, but since the accession of the present, peer, however the place has oeen called by its former name. Sir Theodore Martin will attain his nine- tieth birthday on September 16th. He is gtttving at present at Bryntysilio, Llangollen, »od the change of air has done him a great deal of good. He is in vigorous health, and b-e takes' daily rambles among the Welsh iiiiLs and reads the lessens in church. He entertained Mr George Giosamitn to dinner on Sunday. The Rev J. W. Wynne Jones, M.A., vicar of Carnarvon, has translated into English two of Eifion Wyn's best lyric poems, viz., his "Flower Sunday Lullaby" and "Ora Pro Nobie." They are included in the collec- tion of lyrics just produced by the young Portxnadoc poet. The volume is retailed at a shilling, bound in cloth, and is a remark- able instance of the advance made recently in Welsh publishing. There was Dothing clerical about the som- brero hat and the velveteen smoking jacket which: Dr Gomer Lewis, of Swansea, wore at the Eisteddfod last week. This was why. perhaps, when the Swansea divine crossed jCaetie square with his host, an irreverent .urchin called out, "Hoi, Dick, who is that keeper going along with Mr R-?" The .lad evidently knew more than a little a-bout gamekeepers. One of -the chief prizes in musical composi- tion at the National Eisteddfod was won by Mr M. de Lloyd, B.A., Mus. Bac., Aber- ystwyth. The adjudicators spoke in high rtermø of his work. Mr do Lloyd, who is the first bachelor in music of the University of Wales, will shortly go to Germany for a further course of study. Some of his com- positions are already very popular in Wales. The coming of age of the Hon. Edward Mostyu, ball and heir of Lord Mostyn, of 'Mcatvo Hall, will, as already intimated, be celebrated in North Wales next month. Llandudno has decided to hold its celebra- tion on Monday, the 10th.

Earl and Countess Roberts arrived at Llangollen on Friday evening by motor from Shropshire. The field marshal is in splen- did health, and in conversation indicated hia intention of spending a period of repose among the beautiful, restful scenery of Wales- His arrival, though unexpected, created quite a sensation in the little town. During his stay he visited Sir Theodore Martin at Brvntysilio, and renewed acquain- tance with several old comrades in the dis- triet. Un- Monday Lord and Countess Ro- berto motored to Bettwsycoed. On Tuesday a TiE-it was paid to Carnarvon, and the dis- tinguished couple lunched at, the Royal Efertel. proceeding afterwards to Beddgelert.

Towyn, Festiniog, Bala, and Pentre Uchaf. When speaking at Edinburgh on Saturday Mr Carnegie told the following amusing anecdote of a great Welshman: — The greatest manager of his time was a Welsh- man, Captain Jones, who was the wittiest manager they ever had. He (Mr Carnegie) went to bid them good'-bye at the works when he was going to take his holidays abroad, while he was leaving thousands of men, who were slaving in the heat. He said to the manager, however, "When I was your age I had' my two weeks' holiday—that iwws all. I cannot stand1 it now. I am in- tend when I am at- home. I never had a snaladv or trouble, but half-an-hour breast- da* the Atlantic waves in a storm, and I ^ot oerfect relief. Captain Jones exclaimed, O £ ord, think of the relief we all get. The Hon. Society of Cymmrodorion pro- poses to issue the joint labour of the Rev S. Baring-Gould and the Rev John Fisher, Cern, St. Asaph, who was one of the adju- dicators in the chief es?ay at the Carnarvon Eisteddfod, on their researches into the "Lives of the British Saints." The former has devoted twenty years to the study of Celtic Saints, and the latter possese un- rivalled acquaintance with the MS. material in Welsh libraries. The Rev S. Baring- Gould spent eighteen months in Bri-ttany eollecting material and studying on the spot the settlements of the early Welsh colonists whilst the Rev J. Fisher has gone steadily through all the libraries in Wales and the collections in the British Museum and in Jesus College, to gather thence every par- ticular relative to the subject matter of the -work. which will be issued in four volumes, but dependent upon an adequate number of names, of subscribers being received by the society. The Rev J. J. Williams, this year's chaired foard, was born near Talybont, Cardigan- sire—a district whence, came the Rev David Adams, B.A. {Liverpool). Ceulanydd, and Machno. all of whom have achieved the same distinction—thirty-six years ago. Ha was educated at the village Board school, his mashp/r being Mr Evans, now H.M. Inspec- tor of Schools, Merthyr. When be was thirteen years of age he went to the Rhon- dda, where for eight years he worked in the coalpits. Then he began preaching, and spent two and a. half years at the Ponty- pridd Academy. Later, he was two years at the Cardiff University College, and three year* more at the Brecon Memorial College. He was ordained in 1895. his first pastorate being at Abercynon. South Wales, where he ^remained two and a half years- Then he spent five years as pastor at Rhyotney, and ofterwards sr- eeerfcd TV Pro-bert. now Prin- cipal of the congregational 'College. Bangor, as pastor Siloh. Pentre Rboudda. where be has b.en for tfcr*e years. Mr William* thric~ won the Gw.;ut 1. -sieudfod char, vnd also took thiv chair at Bwlohgwyn, Den- bighshire, This, however, ">< his first National Eisteddfod success, though he was {vdced third at Llanelly. Mr A. P. Graves and Principal Reiehel. who read charming papers on "Folk Song" at the Cymmrodorion Section meetings, last week, are both the sons of Irish bishops— the one of the late Bishop of Limerick, and the other of the late Bishop of Meath. Sine--? I 1&i4 Mr Graves has been one of H.M. In- spectors of Schools. He has taken a leading pad in the recent Irish literary and musical I renascence. He is the author of the "Irish Song Hunk" and numerous other works. and has Siohieved immortality by one song, the inimitable, "Father O'Flynn." He has a house at Harlech, and is ;u> ardent Eisteddfod\vr. Mr David Thomas, M.A., Mus. Bac. (Oxon). who obtained several prizes lor musical composition last week at the Na- tional Eisteddfod is a young musician of great promise. Educated at Llandovery School he obtained a Mathematical Scholar- ship at Exeter College, Oxford, where he graduated with mathematical honours. I Mathematics with him were, however, sub- sidiary to music, to which he has devoted himself whole-heartedly for some years. He has taken his Mus. Bac degree at Oxford, and those who know him expect that the doctor's degree will be his at the earliest opportunity. For the last two years be has been one of the music masters at Harrow School.

HOMES FOR INEBRIATES.
HOMES FOR INEBRIATES. A CASE FROM CARNARVON. The Carnarvon borough magistrates on Monday had to deal with two men against whom there had been repeated convictions for drunkenness. E.' J. Griffith, Baptist street, charged with that offence, had 41 convictions registered on the police book for drunkenness indecent language, &c. He was committed to prison without the option of a fine for fourteen days. In the other case, that of Owen Owen, a well-known man about town, there had been as many as 54 convictions. He did not make his appear- ance. A discussion took place upon the bench as to the want of an inebriates' home in the county. The Clerk (Mr C. A. Jones) reminded the Court of meetings held under the auspices of more than one County Coun- cil in North Wales with the view of taking the question of the establishment of such a home into consideration, but he was sorry to say that the movement had gained little sup- port. In accordance with the wishes ex- pressed by the Bench he would make a com- munication to the Carnarvonshire County Council on the subject. The Chairman (Mr Richard Thomas) said that the Bench felt that the defendant Owen was a fit subject to go to an inebriates' home. for it was evident that he could not take care of himself. Mr J. R. Hughes pointed out that in the absence of an inebriates' home the Court was unable to administer justice in such a case as this. The Clerk: The Act is practically a dead letter. There are many cases in other courts which for the same reason cannot be properly dealt with. The defendant was then fined 20s and costs, or 14 days.
SUMMER FAG. -
SUMMER FAG. BILE BEANS raSTOBE VIOORtKJS HEALTH TO AN AILING HOUSE- WIFE. WIFE. Summer heat induces languor and lassitude where the vital functions are not up to con- cert pitch. Bile Beans are a safe and potent vegetable medicine, which set stomach and liver right, and keep them healthy and vigorous. Mrs Maria Coles, who lives on the Stourhead Estate, Blackslough, South Brewham, Bruton, Somerset, eays: "For 17 years I suffered from ill-liealth. I had a dull and languid feeling which made me so unwell that I cculd not do my house- work. Even after I bad had a night's sleep I was so drowsy in the morning that if I sat quiet a. few minutes I would drop off to sleep. I lived at Druley until four years ago, but although the country there is more open than here I had the same drowsy feel- ing. and all work was too much for me. "I continued' in this state for two years after I came to Blackslough. and tried many medicines without getting much relief. Then I read in 'Lloyd's Newspaper' how per- sons enduring suffering similar to mine had been cured by Bile Beans, and I determined to try them. I bought 6ome Beans and took them for three or four weeks. "The result was that I found they had done rae a great amount o? Z much better now than I h^ve beer for years. and1 can do my housework and !.o:p in the garden.

Among the many sub- jects for discussion after the respective meetings were Principal Reichel's paper at the Folk Song meeting, which has received endless praise. After Friday's Gorsedd} the Principal will be known as "Alawgar." Pro- fessor Morris Jones' adjudication of the chair poem was also greatly appreciated. The vast audience held its breath almost while it was being read, and not a single syllable was missed. DR BARNARDO'S FUND. — There are some interesting facts in connection with the collection made in Bangor recently towards the above fund, which go to prove the truth of the saying that it is the poor that really help the poor. The out-door and house-to- house collection realised £33, and the greater part of this was the proceeds of house to-house collections in the Hirael and Glan- adda districts, the poorer parts of the city. In a Hirael chapel an opportunity was given, after the collection, for those who cared to to drop something in a box. Nine shillings was thus realised, while the box at an Upper Bangor chapel contained twopence!

Miss Kitty Owen, City Hotel, gained the third priM in the senior picnofort- compet-iton >>ut of about 40.

Last year, the great day was spent at Baron Hill. This year, about 100 inmates and children from Maesvgarnedd proceeded to Vaynol Park in seven, vehicles. The weather was ideal, and, between the beauty of the day and tli? scenery, the kindness of MfB Asshetoa Smith, and tea and games, young and old enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Everyone feels deeiply grateful to Mr Ed- wards for the trouble he has taken to give the inmates this one day's pleasure. PRETTY WEDDING.—On Wednesday, at Bethlehem (C.) Chapel, Talybont, near Bangor. the marriage took place of Mr Defferd, eldest son of the late Mr Jacob Defferd, Talybont, and Miss S. C.

BETHESDA.
BETHESDA. FIRE.—About 11 a.m., on Wednesday, a fire which might have proved most destruc- tive broke out in the- upper story of No. 22, Ogwen terrace, the house occupied by Mrs Dr Lloyd. The flames rapidly took a firm grip of the roof, and fears were entertained for the safety of the neighbouring houses. The police and many helpers were soon on the spot, however, and water was poured upon the flames, ultimately extinguishing them. But this was not done before the Bangor Fire Brigade had been sent for. Considerable damage was done by fire and water, the roof being destroyed, two rooms practically ruined, and the ceilings being soaked throughout the house. A large crowd had gathered, and some amusement was caused when the hose, by accident, was turned on a group who failed to make their escape soon enough.

We wish him everv success. HOUSES WANTED.—Mr W. H. Owen, auctioneer, estate agent, &c., High street, informs 116 that there is at present a great and continued demand for mansions at Car- narvon and the surrounding-district. It is only about a fortnight ago that an ex-High Court Judge enquired personally of Mr Owen as to a suitable mansion about Car- narvon, as lie had taken a fancy to the dis- trict. It is a pity that landowners are so reluctant to grant building sites. GOOD TEMPLARY.—A meeting of the Eryri Lodge of the above order was held at Tabernacle Mission Chapel, on Monday even- ing, under the presidency of Mr John Ethall, Tithebam street, when Mr J. Wynne Parry read a paper on "The National Eisteddfod and Temperance." Several other members spoke. One new member was enrolled.

GOOD TEMPLARY.—A meeting of the Ervri Lodge of the above order was held on Monday evening at the Tabernacl Mission Chapel, under the presidency of Mr John Ethall, Tithebarn street, when Mr J. Wynne Parry read a paper on "The National Eis- teddfod and Temperance." Several of. ,the members spoke. One new member was en- rolled. Messrs Jones and Thomas Jones (Newborough street) were. elected to repre- sent the lodge at the District Lodge, to be held at Llanllyfni next Saturday.. EISTEDDFODIC SUCCESS.-Not many prizes came to Carnarvon itself last week, and this v\;is probably owing to the fact that many literary men in town were officially con- nected with the Eisteddfod, and consequently wore debarred from competing. However, we are pleased to note that Miss Davits, Cefnfaes, and Miss Gwen Jones, Post Office, with another young lady, were adjudged equal firsts by Princess Christian in the lace work competition. Their work was highly complimented.—The Menai Juvenile Choir made rather a poor show/in the children's com petition. Better luck next time. THE CHOIR.-At the termination of Frl- day evening's concert last week, Mr W. G. Thonms (chairman of the Executive Com- mittee) came forward and warmly thanked the choir and conductor (Mr J. Williams) for the admirable manner in which they per- formed during the Eisteddfod concerts. Mr David Evans, Mus. Bac., also came forward and thanked the choir for the excellent man- ner in which they had rendered his cantata, .1 "Llawenhewch yn yr lor" ("Rejoice in the Lord") at Thursday evening's concert. Mr J. Williams also thanked the choir for the splendid manner in which they had sup- ported him, and in particular for their regular attendance at the rehearsals. He particularly mentioned the work done by the choir's hon. secretary {Mr J. L. Harris, Thomas street), and the four stewards, and he then called for cheers for them, which were heartily given. Mr Harris briefly replied on behalf of the officials. It is rumoured that the choir will not be disbanded, and a meeting is to be soon held to consider the choir's future. Seveiral inamentiaa- gentle- men have decided to support the choir. This (Thursday) afternoon a photograph of the choir will be taken at the Castle. COUNTY MAGISi RATES' COURT. — Saturdav, before Dr Taylor Morgan (chair- man), Messrs John Menzies, G. J. Ro- berts, D. P. Williams, /Arthur Williams, Sir Owen Roberts, Messrs R. Roberts, and T. J. Davies. LARCENY OF A BI'CYCLE LAMP. — Thomas Evan Williams, 1, Glyn terrace, .Ebenezer, was charged with stealing a bicvcle lamp, the property of Mr D. M. Pritchard, Post Office, Llanrug. — Supt. Griffith prosecuted on behalf of the police, and Mr R. Roberts defended.—Accused pre- ferred to be tried summarily. He said he was guilty of taking the lamp, but did not intend stealing it.—P.C. 22 said Mr D. M. Pritchard missed the lamp (which was now worth 10s) on Saturday evening, August 18th. Accused, with a >number of other young men, had been in the 6hop that even- ting, and his suspicions were aroused.' Wit-i ness- went ■ to defendant's house, who denied having taken the lamp. The witness then ,took a number of young men to Llanrug, and remarked oil the way there, that he would have to take two of them in charge on account of the theft. Defendant then admitted the theft. He was taken into cus- tody, but was liberated1 on bail in the sum cf £ 50. Mr Roberts said defendant was a respectable young man, and had been, with others, at Carnarvon, on the evening in question. They had some drink there, and a.fter alighting at Pontrhythallt station, in- stead of going home, they went to Cwmy- glo, where they had more drink. They called at the shop at Llanrug when returning home. Defendant took the lamp in a sort of freak. He intended returning the lamp. He had a lamp himself at home. Mr Ro- berts then handed to the Bench a letter in favour of the defendant, written by one of the deacons of the chapel he was a wor- shipper ÍD.-He was fined 10s and costs.

The prize was awarded to the Liverpool choir, Dr Mc- Naught observing that he wished there had been a. second prize for the Llanberis choir. Cochfarf, a little later, announced that Mrs Darbishire (Mayoress of Carnar- von), taking pity on the little ones, had given £5 to be awarded' as a consolation prize. This fresh and generous instance of Mrs Darbishine's interest in the Eisteddfod elicited a prolonged outburst of eheerng.

EISTEDDFOD ARTS EXHIBITION.
EISTEDDFOD ARTS EXHIBITION. A BRILLIANT DISPLAY. Owing to the great notice paid to the Eis- teddfod proper and the Goreedd proceedings there was a tendency to ignore the success- ful exhibition held in connection with the Eisteddfod at the Council School (girls' department). The excellent pictures were displayed, such as "Sixty years ago" {James Charles), "The Archdruid—a throne in a grove" (H. Clarence Whaite, R.W.S., P.R.C.A.), "The remorse of Saul—'I have played the fool' (1 Sam. xxvi. 21) (Christopher Williams), Sir Lewis Morris" (Carey Morris), "Sir John Williams, Bart." (Christopher Williams), "Alderman Vaughan Morgan (Lord Mayor of London)" (J. Kelt Edwards). Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, M.P. {Kelt Edwards), "Mrs Richard Bromley (Leonard Hughes, R.C.A.). A number of landscapes were also shown-— "A Day of Summer" (P.C. E. T. Jones, Leeds), "Tayoum, from the old Crocodopo- lis Cemetery, Egypt" {Augustus Lamplough, Mold), "Carnarvon Castle," "Crafnant Vale," and "Conway Vale," by our fellow-towns- man, Mr S. Maurice Jones, A.R.C.A. The latter was a very fine picture. One room had been reserved for the ex- hibits kindly sent from the North Wales College, Bangor's Fishery Department, and were under the control of Mr Robert Jones, Eastgate street, Carnarvon (Lancashire and Western Sea Fishery inspector). Mr M. T. Morris had a grand collection of Welsh relics, old chairs, farming imple. ments, manuscripts, &c., and these attracted great attention.. t The exhibition was also notable for the interesting display of products of the Eis- teddfod arts and crafts competitions. Mr Lloyd George was amongst many dis- tinguished people who visited the exhibition during the week, and expressed himself greatly charmed. Mr O. G. Dorkins proved a very capable curator of the display for the week. There were several local exhibitors. Mr W. D. Roberts, Priory terrace had a splen- did carving on wood, descriptive of the "Crucifixion," which was much admired. The following, in addition to Mr M .T. Morris, had also sent exhibitsMrs Dr Parry, Castle street; Mrs James Francis, Is- liendre; Miss Nannie Evans, Frondeg; Cap- stain Jones, Coventry House; Mr J. R. G. Jones (of this office), Mr R. G.
