Mr (Robert Davies, .of Menai Bridge, imk| offered the East Glamorgan Calvinistic odist Association a donation of £250 in .J of the fund for liquidating the debt on u, chapel at Gilfa/ch Goch.

Sir Charles Dilke gave the first sessional dinner to the advanced Radical section of the House of Commons at the Hans Crescent Hotel, on Wednesday night. The afctendanca included MeidsJa lilqyd-Gaoirge, S. Evans and Herbert Lewis.

Mr Jenkyns, Brecon, has been appointed manager of the Menai Bridge branch of tha National Provincial Bank, in succession to iMx kneade Williams, who takes over the mlanagement of the Newcastle Emlyn branch from which Mr Edward Williams has retired!

The new canon of St. Asaph, the Per Llewelyn Thomas, vice-principal of Jesus Col- lege, who succeeds the Bisihop-elecb of St. David's, is not a stranger to the neighbour- hood of the Cathedral city. A quarter of a century ago he was at Ruthin Grammar School, but returned to Oxford on being elected to a fellowship at Jesus Cofiege.

The "Coolgardie Pioneer," a sixpenny illu- strated weekly, gives a full report (accom- panied by a whole page of portraits) of the St. David's Day banquet at the golden city. Tho speeches at the banquet were highly patriotic, and the whole celebration appears to have been a thorough success. The pre- sident is Mr William Griffith, F.G.S., the secretary being Mr W. Hughes. Both own Portdinorwic as their old home. 1

The Tory Government has decided to mutilate the Montgomeryshire Intermediate School Scheme by excluding the Berriew school. A special bill to effect this passed the second reading on Thursday despite the protests of the parishioners, backed by vigorous speeches of several Welsh members, including Mr Humphreys-Owen, Mr Bryn- mor Jones, Mr Lloyd-George, and others.

The winner of the five pound ncte and the "Tit-Bits" long service medal offered for the county of Carnarvon, is Mr Robert Roberts, of Henbark, Llanllechid, near Bangor. Mir Roberta was born two years after the Battle of Waterloo, and is, therefore, eighty years of age. When eight years old he entered tha Penrhyn Slate Quarries, in which he has- worked ever since.

In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr Tudor Howell questioned the Homa Secretary as to the proposed nitro-glycerinet factory in Anglesey, but succeeding in getting no encouragement beyond the assurance that the proceedings of the promoters would hare to be strictly regular. The chief inspector of explosives, it seems, considers that the plan of the works satisfies the requirementa of the Aot.

The War Office have once more changed their minds in reference to the locality of the* encampment of the 3rd MJlitia Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers. It was originally- arranged that the training should take placa at Dolgelley; then the battalion was ordered to assemble at Altcar next month, aaid the necessary arrangements were made. Now the War Office have given orders that the training is to take place at Dolgelley.

On Wednesday, IMr Samuel Evans, M.P., received severe injuries to the head whilst travelling in the Great Western night mail near Swansea. The wound bled profusely. A doctor, who was telegraphed for, joined the train at Neath, and proceeded with the injured gentleman to London. Mr Evans re- marked to a reporter on Thursday, that the wound in his head was not serious, and that he hoped to be about in a few days. The doctor is of opinion .that he fainted from weakness the result of overwork and after effects of influenza, and that he fell against the side of the carriage.

Attention is directed to an announcement in our advertising columns intimating that the steamer "St. Elvies," commanded by the popular Captain Owen Lewis, will resume her mailings for the season between Liverpool and Llandudno and the Menai Straits, commenc- ing with a departure on Thursday^ 15th Ap- ril, leaving the stage at L30 p.m. this hour being thought desirable and convenient for those who purpose {•vailing themselves of a. three or four excursion during the Easter holidays. On Thursday, the "St. Elvies" will not go beyond Beaumaris, but passenger,3 desiring to go as far as the Bridge will be conveyed by the steamer "Torbay/' without extra charge. With the exception of this date, the "St. Elvies*' will make luar daily trips to Llandudno, Beaumaris, and Menai Bridge, up to and including the 26th inst. Daily sailings: for the summer will be recommenced on the 15th May. The cater- ing. as in former years, will be entrusted t tfie capable hands of Mr G. R. Mackenzie, who has beeill. long and favourably known la- this particular department.

In reference to the memorable dinner at Bwlan, "Pro Bono Publico" writes:—There was no copper pan used at all, the boiler used is an iron one and has be^n used for the same purpose during a. period of 23 years with no evil effect. The meat wad boiled on Saturday afternoon and taken out of the boiler the same day. Why -should the state- ment be made that the meat remained in the boiler from Friday until Tuesday? If this was the case, how could the 120 ministers and delegates be "feasted like pri!nœs" on Monday ? That there is "soming radically wrong" is very apparent, judging by the inconsistency of the paragraph. The "wag," whose would-be humorous sayings, are so often quoted, may be right when he. suggests his plain fare. On this occasion, the fare was plain enough, and such ex- periences cannot but cause ministers and others to look askance even at the wag's three courses of "ptoe8 and milk, potatoes and meat, and the innocent and ubiquitiouH lice pudding." The insinuation that "tobac- co'r achos had been introduced into the dishes, or that they had been tampered with, is a very grave and serious one, and the moral to be drawn from this and similar cases is, that only reliable and principled persona, should superintend the cooking on such im- portant occasions, and that all wags be kept at a safe distance.

SDiEATH OF A (MAIN ON THE RAIL- !WLAiY.—On Thursday, rMir W. Wynn E vans heM an inquiry into the circumstances at4 tending the death of Richard John M'Auley, aged 23, who had been employed as a tra- veller by Messrs Rogers and Jackson, Wrex- ham, who met his death on the railway, Gresford Station.—The jury found that de- ceased, had met his death by aaisadyeatme*

A SHAM AND A FRAUD. The Bill to relieve necessitous School Boards is a sham and a fraud. To put the same idea differently if. is a fraud and a sham. The only tru-c principle in regard to Exchequer contributions towards lightening looal burdens is to treat every district alike. The dodge of the Tory 'Government, how- erer, is to treat Tich districts better than poor ones-as in the Agrimiltural Hating Aet; to treat Churchy districts better than Nonconformist) ones as in the Sectarian Schools Bill; and to treat communities where intelligence, public spirit and self-sacrifice are manifested, better than those in which th-o people are drowsy, niggardly and stupid -as in the Necessitous School Boards Bill. The way in which the grant is to be made is a marvel of complexity, only to be under- stood by.professoffi of mathematics; and we will not trouble our readers with it. Some of the local results lare, however, worth par- ticular notice. Beaumaris will get nothing; and Aberffraw will get the same amount. The Amlwch Churchmen will get £ 22 a year towards reducing their subscriptions; but the ratepayers will get nothing. At Holy- head, the Church people will got £ 96; and the community nothing. Llanddeusant will get 23; Llanddona and Llandegfan, nothing. At Llandysilio, the little Church Sehool can claim: under the Sectarian Schools Bill £ 16 per amnum. But if the children were trans- ferred to the Board Sdiool, they would bring in £ 15 more At Llangefni, a similar stiata of things prevails, the net result being that under this bill, the rates could be lightened 2cJ in the R, if the National Schools were managed by the iSwhool 'Board. The net benefit to Anglesey 'Board Schools will only be 270; though the Church Schools are to have a feubsidy of J3674. In Cartuarvonshire, not one of the boroughs will get a cent. If the Bangor Church School were placed under the School !Board, t-hie heavily burdened rate- payers would save EW/m year, which is equal to a 2d rate. LUncludnO) Llandwrog, Caerihun, Llanfairisgaer, [Llangystenin, Llan- nor, and Maenan, will get nothing, though they y heavy suma to maintain their schools. Grants, however, will he made to J/lanwnda (six shillings a year !), ILlangybi (six pounds a year), Abetdaron, SPistyll, Woenfawr, Bedd- geleit (£38 towards EMO), Nevin (£45 to. wards £ 70), Criccieth, Llanberis, Llanddein- iolen, Llanrug, (Penmorfa, Portmadoc and Llanllvfni. To those who possess local know- ledge, it will ibe impossible to justify the principles, which result in classifying, as above stated, the parishes of the county. ,& The working of the Act will create friction, and a galling perception of injustice, when this discrimination between various parishes is fully realised. In Denbighshire, not one of ohe three boroughs will get anything. If the respective Church Schools were placed under the Board, Llangollen would gain 2121; Lilanrwst £ 60; Brymbo L216. The ratepayers of the county will get JB500 against a contribution of LIO,000, 1bu.t the sectarian subscribers will get £2076 ,against a contribu- tion of LM88. We have no hesitation in applying the term "fraudulent" to public fin- ance of this description. And it must ibe re- membered that fraud begets fraud. We are much mistaken if the parishes now left in the oold will not very soon manage to jerry- mander tfhe assessments so as to bring them- selves into the category of "necessitous" par- .ishles. Ajay accountant will be able to tell the overseers how to manage it. In many par- ishes, parents can., and perhaps will, reduce the rates by transferring their children from the Church Schools to the Board Schools. Which proves that the Tories only manage by their tricks and dodges to be "too clever by half. It is to be hoped that as the result of the

conference at Portmadoc between Mr Dennis and the representatives of local public bodies, something substantial will be done -to im- prove the Cambrian train service. We trust the company will be able to bring to bear upon the other companies in connection with which they run trains to introduce improve- ments. It is both absurd and exasperating to find that a passenger starting from iBala by the first train cannot reach Carnarvon before 5.32 p.m-the business hours of a whole day being spent in traversing about fifty miles. The Cambrian Company loses thousands of pounds every year owing to the fact that people travelling from North to South Wales have to go through Chester and Shrewsbury instead of over the Cambrian route. It would probably be well for the directors to consider the feasibility of a service analogous to steam tramcare running at frequent (say hourly) intervals for local purposes1, with really good express trains of the usual type, morning and evening. I-

The financial statement made to the Ban- gor City Council by Mr J. Evan litobrts has shown that the worst fears of the members of the Rateyapers' Association are well founded. This Association, during the last election, warned the ratepayers that the city oouncil were spending money in a reckless manner, and that the rates for the ensuing year would be very high. And now, the truth is out. Bangor ratepayers will be groaning under the heaviest rate in rhe Un- ited Kingdom, for it amounts altogether to 9 7jd, within 4td of 10s in the pound, or nearly half the rent. !Mr Roberts's speech was a most serious and weighty indictment of the policy of the council in incurring the ex- pense of such schemes as electric light eiad workmen's dwellings, &c., without. regard for the ratepayers pockwte. The Chairman of the [Ferry Committee had to admit that the losses on the pier wore ntOre than the council had ever expected. Indeed, it is only a short time ago since he publicly stated that. the pier committee would only cal. for a rate of a few pence to cover a few incidental ex- penses. What is the truth? Thj loss on the pier during the time it has been working by the corporation is E1256, or a rate of about 94 in the pound.' The borough hospital also contributes to the heavy deficit the sum cf £700, while the preliminary expenses alone of the electric lighting scheme is JE538. Thus the whole rate is 5s lid, as against 3s lid last year, a rise of 2s in the pound! This is enough to stagger any body of ratepvyers, and the effect of the news when it ill be generally known may be imagined rather than described.
