I An alarming occurence took place at Llan. goliien on Friday night. The Rev John Jones (loan Eivion), Penygroes. Carnarvon, was found on a steep ascent, near the Shrop- shire Union Canal in a pool of blood. He was carried into a neighbouring cottage, and subsequently to Llangollen Hospital, where medical aid .was summoned. Internal hemorrhage was found to be the cause, of the collapse. He was one of the bardci pri- s nt at the Eisteddfod proclamation. We understand that the rev. gentleman is better ■'his week. 1 e-ere has ju,t qualified as a solicitor of the «upreme Court Dr Roland P. Williams, cf Bryn Owen, Menai Bridge. Dr William* has had a remarkable career. Commencing life as a railway clerk, lie etudied medicine and became a doctor, diplomat in public ieilth. and licentiate of the Royal Colleg-e of Surgeons and Physicians. He forsook a. large practice in Anglesey for the law, and ■va.-5 cailed to the Bar, since then qualifying a .solicitor. In former years he wa. deputy-coroner for A^igle«ey, chairman cf the Holyhead Urban District Council, a rr.eniber of the Board of Guardians, and hdel other important offices. It will be re- membered that Dr Williams was spoken of j- as Independent candidate for Anglesey Y2-, i'ore the last election. The Bishop of St. Asaph was the special preacher at the re-opening services at the ancient Church of Rhuddian. near 1 hy 1, which ha-s been renovated and improved, the alterations ineltding the opening of a t-velfth century window. Dealing with the ancient history of the Church, hici lordship remarked that criticism of tihe past, in the eye of to- day's thought, was very shallow, and they -should not forget all that wa.3 done by the Church in Wales in centuries past. In view of what- the Church had done, what ought they in Wales io do? They all recognised the shortcomings of the present day its well as of the pnst, and, instead of urveiess criti- cism of what was gone, let them quic'ien the ,nLw of unity and co-operation to do greater tJ'ings in tihe future. Let them follow the generos'ty and devotion of those gon- before, and car -y on the work with no less dtevotion. Mr Keir Hardie is making an excellent recovery. He has returned to his. home in Cumnock, Ayrshire, and the other day he waa seen by the Scottish .;crrespcnd.cnt of the 'British Weekly," bag in hand and over- coat over his arm. on his way to the local railway station. The Labour leader looked remarkably well, and took the long. steep climb from the town to the station with a light, smart step. Mr Keir Hardie's home, IjO( hi-ori i. is a modest, com residence, with a pretty garden sloping down to the bank of the classic Lugar. Wher in health and at i;ome, Mr Keir Hardie's hobby is digging ill n.Ls aird or takng long walks througlr the fields and by the burns.

SIXTEEN SUPPURATING ULCERS "ONE MASS OF CORRUPTION"—LEG SAVED AND CURED BY ZAM-BUK. A poisoned and ulcerai-eu ley. full or a7 I corrupt wounds that amputation was im- j"11161'1. was the legacy lefi by a cycling mis- hap to Mr /William Bei.nett, of Station irh.- Grampound road, Cornwall. To a est riton reporter Mr Bennett said:— On August 23rd, 1900, I had a slide-slip nom mj .ke which threw me voilently into a ditch, Some passers-by found me and took me home. I was tended by two doctors, and then taken to the infirmarv. where it was found thai Hie injuries com- prised a dislocated elbo^v, a broken shoul- der. a fractured hip, and a broken leg. "I remain-ed at the hospital for about eight weeks, and when ] left I had to use crutches to get about the house. After some months of this a wound broke out on ray. l-g, and I had to go to the infirmary again, suffeiing from severe ulceration. I was "patched up" once more, but had not been at home again long when ulcers formed in several places, and ultimately I was confined to my bed with no less than sixteen discharging wounds. I was nearly driven out of my mind with the pain, and the leg was simply one mass of corruption. "All sorts of medicines, ordinary oint- ments and lotions, herbs, &c., were tried but with no good effect. Everyone thought 1 .<hou!d lose my l^g. As a last resort I was persuaded to try Zam-Buk, and within half an hour of the first application I fell sound asleep. "Of course, I continued with Zam-Buk. and now, after using about half-a-dozen boxes, my leg is as sound as sound can be. All ihe wounds filled up with sound, firm fi)psh. tind Zam-Buk 'Covered them with new healthy skin." Zam-Buk is natural and never-failing— especially when helped by ZAM-BUK MEDICINAL SOAP, which is unique, cooling,^ comforting, and cleansing ia all kinds of skin troubles.

The Royal Visit. PREPARATIONS AT BETIIESDA. A joint meeting of the members of tne A joint meeting of the members of tne ) District Education Committee and Repre- sentatives of Managers of the Schools in the j B-ethesda district was held on Saturdav evening at the County School, Bethesda for I the -purpose of making arrangements for the visit of the King to Bethesda. There were j present Messrs D G. Davies, R. Williams. D. Llewelyn, Robert Williams, T. A. Davie,s, A. Lowther, R. B. Evans, William Davies, John Hughes, Robert Jones, D. Walters, John Williams, John Roberts, Hugh Thomas, John Pritchard, H: H. Davies, William Owen, R. O. Williams, Griffith I Roberts, R. R. Morris, W. J. Parry; with the He vs. E. Davies, Robert Williams, \Y. W. Lloyd, and W. Morgan. Mr R. B. Davies was voted to the chair, and lie explained the object of the meeting. Mr IJ. G. Davies (clerk to the Urb;ui Council) gave details of the decision of the Council regarding the arrangements of the visit, and said that thej recommended that staging should be placed bv the Council Office to enable the children to see the King. They had also decided that a trium- phal arch should be placed across the road in that place. With regard to the decora- tion.s" they hoped that the inhabitants generally would show their loyalty by making the plaef; as pretty as possible with bunt- ings, &(. Tho Council had also decided to present the address by the Council Office. The Council were unanimous on the point that in front of the Council Office was the most convenient place to present the address. I .ie meeting pa.ss.ed unanimously that the children should be taken to the Council Of ice, but as regards the staging the feel- ing of the meeting was that the duration of t'le visit was so short tha,t it would not be north the while going to such an expense. 0 Mr D. G. Davies explained that the Council had decided to make an application to the Central Committee at Bangor for a grant for the decorations. The Rev W. W. Lloyd said that :!cre would be amout 1,600 children present that day, and it would be difficult to get them all on the staging. It was agreed that .0 staging should be placed, but that the headmaster of each school should be asked to arange the children accoPding to size, so that they could all see the King when the address was being presented. Mr W. J. Parry asked whether it would not be wise to suggest to the publicans that t!<eir houses should be closed for the day. "here was no knowing, ebing that it was a loliday, but that souieonc would loose his head (laughter). Mi-Richard Morris thought that this was rather too much to ask the publicans to do. The. King knew their history at Bethesda quite well, and it would not do for them to appear sanctimonious that day laughter). Ihe Rev W. Morgan also was of the opinion that it was not right for them to ask the publicans to close for the whole (f the day. If they said half a day it would be better. I here was no proposition f^rtlu oinini, and the matter dropped. It was agreed to ask the diff..r<)t head teachers to arrange among themselves us to the singing, &c.. upon that day. The Committee, decided to ask the Cen- tral Committee for a grant to present the children with medals and buns upon the occasion. It was decided to ask the quarrymen of the Peurhyn Quarry to act as a guard of honour while the King drove through the village. After some discussion .it was decided to i-ecommend that the children should *t.t a I f..n ,i •, i. i • nonaay on the occasion. CARNARVONSHIRE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS. At a meeting of the Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee on Thursday, The Chief Constable (Col. Ruck )asked for the sanction of the Committee to his bor- rowing extra police on the occ ision of the Royal visit to North Wales. Colonel Ruck outlined the programme of the Royal visit, and said that there would be a good deal of road for the police to look r-fter, and he asked to be allowed to borrow 150 foot- policemen and half-a-dozen mounted police. Mr J. R. Hughes: How many were en- gaged when the King (then Prin-e of Wales) visitad Carnarvon at the time of the Nat-onal Eisteddfod? The Chief Constable: About the same number. The Chairman: Will other counties sub- scribe towards the extra expense? Mr J. R. Hughes poinled out that the Bishop of Bangor and the Bishop of St. Asaph had been placed on the committee ap pointed at Chester, and he .suggested that the Chief Constable should get n few clergy- men to act as policemen (laughter). Dr R. A. Piichard: That was a verv un- called-for remark. There are ministers belonging to all denominations on the com- m it tt-e. Mr J. R. Hughes They have gone out of their way to give offence to Nonconform- 'sts, who have men equal to any Bishop. Why two Bishops should be on the com- mituee, while' the leading Nonconformist ministers are left out, I cannot understand, and I protest against it a.s a Nonconformist! Mr R. Jon<?. Robert. suggested that the Chief Constable should write to other North Wales c-ounties interested in the Roval visit to see whether they would not be able to supply constables free of expen.se. Mr J. lssard Davies remarked that the King was to lay the foundation "tone of a University College in wh>h every county in North Wales was equally interested, and on I that ground the other North Wales counties should contribute towards the cost of th-e extra police. Mr J. R. Pritehard asked whether it would not he better to hire a motor car, so that the police could follow the Royal party through Snowdoni-a. If this were done they would not require s > many extra ooliee- men. Mr J. R. Hughes: They will kill more people if they had a motor car (laughter). ji Mr J. R. Pritchard: It would save a lot of expense. The Chief Constable-I don't tiiiiik f). Mr T. W. Griffith asked whether it would be necessary to station the 150 extra. police- men along the route to be covered by the Royal party, who would travel at the rate of ten or fifteen miles an hour. He "¡.I,M1 to know whether a pilot motor car would not answer the purpose. The Chief Constable said that the extra policemen were required in Bangor am? Carnarvon, where there would be the largest number of people. ° It was resolved to give the Chief Con- stabte sanction to borrow 150 policemen. Mr D p. Williams then proposed that an appeal be made to the other North Wales counties to lend their police free of excuse. a." the King was going to lay the foundation stone of a College for the whole of North Wales. The motion was seconded and adopted. THE ROYAL TRAIN. EXPERIMENTAL TRIP. On Sunday, the train which will convey their Majesties the King and Queen from London to North Wales took what may be regarded as a trial trip over the whole route. The train consisted of twelve car- riages {(equal to sixte-en of the ordinary type, including two dining-cars), drawn by a puv,crfn] engine of the Precursor type, calied the ''Candidate." At Bansor "Candidate" was uncoupled, and two ordi- nary tank engines took the Royal tra-in on to Carnarvon. On the return of the Royal train the engine "Candidate" was again at- tached, and took tha train to Holyhead, where it remained during the night, return- ing on Monday morning to Euston. The trip passed -off without a hitch. The total weight of 'uhe empty train js stated at 320 tons. A considerable number of people awaited the arrival of the trai l at Bangor. To judge .from the fact that the train was token to Carnarvon and back, it seem& pr-'Uy certain tliart on their return from their motor trip through Snowdonia the Royal party v.ill. entrain for Holyhead at Carnarvon. HOLYHEAD ARRANGEMENTS. Admiral Burr. C.M.G., M.V.O., Captain of the Port, states that, the Royal yacht "Victoria and Albert" will -arrive at Holy- head at o p.m. on July 7th, in charge of Cn-mmander Colin Keppel, and will be ac- companied by two cruisers and a torpedo boat destroyer, which will attend the Royal party to Ireland. The- Royal yacht will be placed alongside the -outer jetty at the Old Harbour at 6 p.m. on the 8t;h July. The Royal party will arrive at the jetty at 7 p.m., when t.he Anglesey 'County Coun- cil and the Holyhead Urban Council will present loyal addresses, and the daughter of Mr W. D. Jones, J.P., chairman of the County Council, the daughter of Captain R. D. Roberts, J.P., chairman of the Urban Council, and Mass Gwendoline Burr, the niece of Admiral Burr, will present bouquets +o her Majesty the Queen, and | Miss Slater, daughter of Mr T.

THE LATE MS JOHN JONES (DRUGGIST), CARNARVON. A /BIOGRAPHICAL FRAGMENT. On Saturday morning the remains of the above worthy were laid to rest in Caeathro Cemetery, in the grave next to the resting place of hi. old friend Mr J. Davies (Gwyn- eddon). Among his papers. which included a host of photographs, cartoons, and Press refer- ences pertaining to his two great political heroes, Mr Gladstone and Mr Lloyd George, was found a. short autobiographical sketch, written in Welsh, in a beautiful hand. Of this we are enabled, through the courtesy of the executor, Mr R. Gwvneddon Davies", to give the following translation :— lie was born about the year 1830. in Rwt- tan Farm, in the parish of Bottwnog. Like the majority of the boys of those part.s he we.it to Bottwnog School, where Mr Tlios. Hugiias and the Rev John Hughes were masters. His proficiency in Latin and Greek was such that the Rev John Hughes wanted to scrul him to Oxford and bringing him up in the Established Church, but his parents were against that course. He was apprenticed cis chemist and drug- gist with Mr D. Williams, Pwllheli. After- vsards lie went to London, to fill a post as assistant in the N. W. district. There he joined the nearest C.M. church, the old Grafton street Chapel, before going to Nassau street,—afterwards known as Char- ing Cross. The Rev Dr Thomas was pastor there, and remained for about- ten years of Mr Jones's stay in London. Afterwards came the Revs J. Mills and D. Charles Davies. In 1869 he removed to Carnarvon. He joined the church at EJpgedi. He was for 14 years a Guardian for Llanbeblig parish, and was vice-chairman of the Rating Com- • mittee, and for 10 years chairman of the I Finance Committee. He was member and cha-rman of the School Attendance Com- mittee, and for a period he was a member of the School Board. J He was chosen deacon of Engedi in 1884. and represented the Monthly Meeting at the General Assembly and the Quarterly Association meetings. He was for 6 years chairman of the Carnarvon District Sunday School meeting, and for 15 vc-srs was co- secretary with Mr W. P. Williams of the Carnarvon Association meeting. II«x vas a Carnarvon Association meeting. II,\ ,-as a member of the Sunday School since 1839. Always a thorough liberal, Mr Jones was a zealous supporter of Mr Bulkeley Hughes, Mr Jones-Parry, Mr Watkin Wil- liams, Mr Rathbone, Mr Bryn Roberts, Mr Lloyd GeoTge. For 30 years he was' the proprietor of the shop on the corner of Bridge street, Castle square, retiring from business in 1899. There the sKetch ends, and there it may be said his career closed, as he was soon I prevented by weakness from following the I pursuits he took so great a delight in. He gave his life to Methodism and Liberalism, and though never playing a prominent part in public he could always be depended upon for unflinching devotion to the cause. He was a familiar figure in many circles, and will be greatly missed in Carnarvon. R.I. P.

BAEVGCR AND BEAUMARIS GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of this Board was held on Friday morning at the Union under the presidency of Mr Hugh Thomas, J.P., who presided over a large attendance. FINANCE REPORT. j The inance Committee's report was sub- mitted, stating that they had been consider- ing the Vaccination Order of the Local Government 'Board. The Commfittee re- commended that the Board should pay 4s to each of the medical officer for each case vaccinated. The Rev W. Morgan who proposed the adoption of the report, said that the mini- mum sum, according to the Local Govern- ment Beard, which could be offered to the medical officers was 3s Gel, and the Com- init||^ had. when discussing the matter, under their consideration the extraordinary ea-set; that the medical men would have to attend, and that was their reason in pro- posing 6d above the minimum. He thought. it very reasonable. Mr John Roberts seconded the adoption of the report. The Chairman said' thar, it was an im- portant matter, and should receive their consideration. They had frequently been making appeals to the Local Govern- ment Board for a reduction in the fees, but all had been in vain. Now the Local Govern- ment Board had given them an opportunity and had fixed a minimum at 3t;, 6d. They should avail themselves of the minimum. He did not see that they should go above I the minimum as they had gone into trouble to ask the Local Government Board to te- diifv> it Mr Joseph Davies thought they should accept it, and moved an amendment to the effect that the minimum be adopted. This was seconded. The Rev W. Morgan said that they should give a little consideration to the doctors, who some times had to go a long distance to vaccinate « eliild. The Committee thought that they should not he too hard upon the medical men. They might be in- flicting an injury upon the poor if they only offered the nodical m'i'l1 thA minima™ Mr J. Parry thought that the offer of the Local Government Board was very 1 reasonable, and they should accept it. The Rev Thomas Edwards said that thev could deal with extraordinary cases on their merits. Most medical men could" arrange to attend (t. vaccinating case as they passed to otner places, therefor,- the mileage was not so great- in every case. The amendment was then carried almost unanimously. AGAINST ACCIDENTS. The Committee also recommended that th" el..vits, .vlieving officers, master, &t\. sliorU be 'soured against accidents. Rev Th .mas Edwards: What about tramps that t\-t rk for their fooi (laughter). The i hauinc'i: We are not liable for them. It w^ gv jed lhat the Clerk should com- munieaU* with IV Insurance Company ask- ing theia n r.-g Is casual and temporary employees, whether the Board yonid be liable for them also, and if a special rtte was required. j -< ..u.U\.J;-).c; iNr L>,y,.

Until I tried the Cuticura Ointment, it was the first relief we got.

T used about twelve or thirteen boxes Cuticura Ointment, but that wasn't much considering all I had to do with it. My own arms and be- tween my fingers, on front of shins and between my toes, were completely cov- ered with an ugly-, itchy rash, and my youngest little girl was covered from crown to sole. I thought she would have died. She was only a year and twc months at the time. My eldest wasn't so bad, but bad enough. Thanks to the Cuticura Ointment, we are com- pletely cured, and I shall recommend the Cuticuca Remedies to my friends. Mrs. D. M. Cue- Donaghmore Co., Tyrone, Feb. 12 and F?b. 19, 1906."

THE C.M. "CYMANFA." A GREAT GATHERING. The most unfavourable climatic condition* that couid be imagined did not prevent a tnen. e-ndous crowd irom congregating at th-e i'av.bon, Carnarvon, on Thursday, for th« triennial musical festival of the C.M. en lire hies of the Arfon district. The rain was piti.eea during early ard mid-day, but cleared somewhat in the afternoon. iome 6,000 people came by rail alone, ■\uile tae town and district were responsible another couple of thousand. The Pavilion was comfortably full at both even- ing and afternoon meetings. Thanks to the splendid organisation, the order was perfect. Mr J. T. Reas, Mus. Bae., brought to the lostrum an enthusiastic baton, and he waS plainly pleased with the response. The singing was magnificent M regards li^art and volume, and the thrill associated with Welsh singing a.t its best was perceptible on several occasions. The tenors easily maintained their great reputation, and sang with extra- ordinary verve. The vocalists were epeatly aided by the band, an orchestra of close on a hundred instrumentalist^ drawn from Car- narvon, Bangor, Nan tile, Llanberis, &c., and including several Liverpool professionals- Mr Whitehead, of Bangor, led the combina- tion, which acquitted it.elr very creditably- The programme did not contain as many of the hymn-tunes associated with "hwv1" a-s usual, but. the selection was good on the whole. In addition there were several choruses and autheme. Haydn's "The Heavens are Telliug" and "Achieved, is the glorious wore,- went with wonderful vim, as did also Sir George Elvey'e anthem, "Rejoice in the Lord," and the conductor's ?- — — n to my wurus. The trio in "The Heaves are Telling" watf rendered by Mrs Henderson Jones, Taly- sarn (who also sang very finely a Handel solo); Mr H. H. Jones, Llanrug; and Mr Robert Hughes,, Carnarvon. Messrs Orwig Williams and T. T. Powell, NnntUe, per- formed their onerous duties as accompanist6 to great satisfaction.

T. lieess conductcirship. He wielded the baton with vigour, and gave great breadth to the I singing. I here was no hurrying. The con- ductor spoke but little, yet the singers seemed to grasp his meaning, and there was good understanding between him and the singers. Wre have no hesitation in saying that this I -v^r'ri singing was magnificent, the choruS j "The Heavens are Telling'' being excellent. It is a question if any chorus was ever sung better in all the evmanfacedd that have been held at the Pavilion. "Bcdawn" I reacned a very high standard of hymn-tun singing, and nothing could be better for majesty and breadth than the singing ;n the | evening of "Palestina" and "Dueseldorf." I There was a much better orchestra tlii# | \ear than thief years ago. The tone was ■o ^r, and there WaB a marked improvement. • ie decisive way the pieces were plaved, giving all a clear and firm rendering. The brass section was very good this year. We must, mention the careful playing of their parts by the euphonium and trombone solo- ist<s. Ihe wind section was well maninulnted. ihe violins were much improved ,n tone and <>ccuracy, and we noted the impr»'-s<siv»3 play- ing of the double basses and 'cellos. Mr R- G. Owen (Pencerdd Llyfnwy) had arranged the band parts remarkably well, and it 18 < greatly to his credit that such fine effects were got from the scoring of many of the tuiic-s, and the anthem ''Gwrando fy Ngeir- iau. He has evidently studied his subject very carefully, and the scoring this veaT showed that he is fully aware where good effects can 1m.' got. ( Amateur players are evidently gaining giound. and instrumental music is oraflually getting a firm hold of the Welsh.
