BRONCHITIS AND ASTHMA. TURNED OUT OF AN INFIRMARY. CURED BY VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Edward Pugh, 156, Sttphenson Street, North Shields, writes as follows:—" I was six weeks in the Newcastle Infirmary, and was given up by eight doctors, who said 1 had Chronic Bronchitis and Asthma, and that I could not be cured. I could not lay straight down in bed; I had to use a bed rest. I coughed incessantly, was very weak, and had attacks of suffocation at night; that is the reason I could not lay straight down in bed. I had been off work for two years. Since commencing Veno's Lightning Cough Cure I do not need my bed rest, I can lay straight down in bed. I have not the bad attacks at night, neither do I cough, the wheezing has entirely gone. I am a deal stronger and can walk about, and feel as though I would soon be able to work. CAUTION.—Ask for Veno's Lightning Cough Cure; be sure you get it. Avoid the dealer who tries to palm off another medicine. Price Is lid and 2s 9d. All Chemists and Medicine Vendors.:

She said that she had had the coin from a. coal merchant, with whom defendant siud that she had quarrelled. She also said that she had the coin two days before in her purse in the cupboard. She did not tell witness who the coal merchant was. Cross-examined by Mr AIIanson = Witness had never seen defendant in the shop before, and he had been there over three years. The shop had been properly lit up when the defendant ralIed there. There was lig-ht about two yards from where lie stood. The amount she bought came to 94d. She had a purse in her hand.

Jones, Thomas Owen, J. Lloyd Griffith, J. Prichard', W. S. Jones, Llewelyn Morgan, II Trevor Hughes, Sir William Preece, Messrs F. Turner. H. Richards, T. M. Lloyd, H. Wawn, J. Bo wen-, Owen Roberts, J. Issard Davies, Hugh Jones, R. Newton, J. Davies (Gwvnedd- oh). H. Lloyd Carter, Richard Thomas, together with the clerk (Mr W.

The receipts were as follow Imports, £73; ex- pnrts, £39; tonnage, £36; passing tolls, £4 16s; yards, wharves, etc., £67 10s. making a total of £220. as compared with £297 for the corresponding period of last rear.

For the three months (ending October. 20.300 tons were shipped, beino- an increase of 2753 tons on thp corresponding quarter THE RAILWAY EXTENSION. The fol- U) V,-I,.O. letter wa.s read from Mr Fewkes: — "Eustüll Station, November 15th, 1901.-Dear f sir.—Further to my letter of the 17th ult., I have now received a. report from Mr Dent, and have had an opportunity- of conferring with m^d t? WCfik' 1 Shi'n be IirePared' to "recom- mend the scheme to my directors on the un- derstanding that for the service of our engines shunting the traffic to and from straight sjdin? laid along the road, a payment "of 4d per ton be made bv the Harbour Com- missioners and that a payment- of 6d per ton be made on traffic worked by us either bv horses ComnSr t0 '"d fr°ra the 0thei" tZ Commissioner's property; tlite Commissioners to a. so indemnify the railway company in re- sp. £ ;t of '.such working, and provide whatever protection may be required for the safety of the public. Please let me hear that the Com- missioner* agree to these terms.—Yours faith- fully William Fewkes. "—The letter had been considered by the railway committee and the committee recommended that not more- than 4d per ton be paid for working the traffic to the dock from the sidings; also that the chairman inquire what was meant by the indemnity asked tor, tlie committee' being of opinion that no liability could be undertaken bv the Tru«t in connection with the working by the company.- The report v a,» adopted. TF1?E Thf^rh ANT) CHAXXELS COMMIT- of tV^ Chairman said that the final report t at bar and channels committee had b°pn be adopted, and that the ferrH tvD re«>mme.ndations be re- ierrea to the TO-nsideratirn nf tuQ .,1 mittee. with the view ,,f v,, • • "r s cnm" fore taking any further 5^ rep°rt that every member had had a ?opv of th^ort There was vast room for discuUion, and Ce room for .atisfaction. During the timl, the committee had been at work, nature had been, very good to them, in forcing a new channel and this had happened at the most convenient time. The question for them would be how could they assist nature in, maintaining this channel open, and how to improve the navi-a- °.f channel—Mr Richard Thomas se- cond,-v? the motion.—Mr Issard: Davies If the t ire* recommendations of the committee meet W?Pr0^°f tbe 1 don't see that tli .re is a,nytlung more to be said.—Sir William \Tv TTe niTt 'I ?)me UP again, of course'.— ni+?r said that this was an open meeting, ftnd they would welcome any opinion as to whether the beJl should be placed on the fair- way buo or on the bar buoy. or be. altered and w.ie a different kind of buoy. The committee wou;d be id ad if any opinions were expressed. J he committee were unanimous that the sm?- pestion of the bell buoy was a very good one, ^i ^jle ^nly question was where it should be placed.—Mr F. Turner said that the bell would hardly be heard on the bar huov itself Mr Hugh Jones heM that the fairway buoy was too far.—Mr Issard Davies said that they had the opinion of the Llancldw-n pilot, and he $,1;d that. the fairway would be best,—Mr C Jones said that the object of the bell was to warn people from the bar. and not to hriivr them there. The bell should be on the fairway buoy. Mr HiiL*h Jones- said he believed that the bar buoy would be the best, He heard captains say that they could make their way through the channel.—The Chairman: I suppose that tlie bell is for warning people altogether off th" bar.—Sir William Preece s.aid he rather de- precated this discussion before the Trust, It was, a subject which would have to be discussed again. The discussion- would aopear in the papers, and might prejudice the Trustees If the matter were relegated to the works com- mittee, they could obtain the best evidence, ivhich would again come before the Trust, with recommendations. It would be better that the trust as such, should not commit its.elf.-TI12 „ "na?1 said f'1P Trust v.'ould not commit, ir- self at all.—The motion was then carried. THE NEW STEAMER.—The report of the steamer committee stated that Mr H. Pritchardf marine engineer, reported that he had inspected f "eVteamer "Seiont, which is being built for the Trust at Lytham. on the 9th November, and found all satisfactory with a few exceptions which had since been rectified. She wa.s suc- cessfully launched that day. Since then, he had been informed by the builders that the Board of Trade surveyor required the vessel to carry a lifeboat in davits, as she was intended to go outside Belan, but th.e builders protested against it, and the final reply had not yet been received. If they must carry a. boat he suf- gester that it be on deck forward, and lifted in out with the derrick.—On the motion of Mr H. CleNc,. seconded by Mr H. Wawn, it was. decided that, the surveyor should attend the trial run. with the engineer. 1 a THE PWTLFANOG CASE.—A report of the decision in the above case (already published) was read from Messrs Carter, Vincent, and Co. —-The Chairman said he thought this a, very satisfactory settlement of a, dismite which had caused a great, deal of trouble,, and he congratu- lated the Trust upon the result (hear. hear). THE QUESTION OF TRADING WITH THE TRUST.—Mr H. Llod Carter said that he was not/able to attend the hist meeting, as he was away fighting the battle of he Trust • but he had read in the local papers reports of the proceedings of the Trust, and these, reports he thought had given- some people the impres- sion that, in connection with his bill of £41, after paying £15 to counsel, the rest went to his own pocket. He wanted to remove that impression. He had simply written to the Trustees to ask them to give him a cheque in- stead of his own. which he had alread paid to counsel amd in other expenses. As to the discussion which afterwards followed, certainly, to his mind, the ime had arrived when the Trust should consider the advisability of ap- pointing « g adviser. He was quite pre- pared to prove that work of this kind had been carried out by Mr Charles Jones with areat economy, but at the same time, it was- possible for people to say that these small sums were not leg-a! although he understood that other Trustees had been trading with the Trus.t. He did not lor one second impute any corruption hut. he Crrtainy did not himself like to be under the imputation of having done anything wrong. Therefore, he moved that the finance commit- •ee consider the advisability of appointing a. le!2;al adviser and fixing the refhuneration.—Mr Liewelyn Morgan seconded the motion.—Mr J. Issard Davies said he thought that Mr Carter was quite right in what he said; but he thought. ■that, the matter had been sprung upon the meet- ing rather prematurely.—Mr Carter said he had not moved that a legal adviser be appointed. He only moved that the matter be referred to the finance committee, and he did not think that was springing the matter upon the meeting.— Mr H. Clegg said that- this was really only a part of thecasoe. They understood that there were others besides the solicitors who had been trading with the Trust. He did not see why they should pick out the solicitors' case.—Mr Issard Davies said that things had been going on very satisfactorily; and he did not see there I was any necessity for changing them. If they I entered upon this matter in the spirit of the I mL*' °ne:half the members would be debarred.— The Chan-man said that he did not see why they .should not consider the whole position.' Mr j Charles Jones had not received a. penny for his services during the last two years. — Mr Richard Thomas said that if the ■whole matter were referred to committee, he could see more. sense in that. If the vice- chairman would propose that, he would second it-Mr Carter sa:id that he had agreed to in- clude the whole matter in his motion.—Mr John Prichard said that a:s the one who had brought the matter up at the last meeting, he did not think it was right to make a. distinction of any kind He did not wish to reflect at all upoiri the manner in which the business of the Trust had been carried on, but they should adhere strictly to the letter of the law. and be above suspicion in everything they did.—Mr Issard Davies said that they had a very happy family. It had always been by members of the Trust that. the work had been done. Why should they disturb a puddle like that.—Mr C. A. Jones said that he had considerable time for the benefit of the Trust, and he and others who had done so did not like to, have it thrown in their faces that they were paid for it. In connection with the town council, "when a matter of this kind was brought forward, the result was that the council had to send awav for lamp posts and other things, and the -town lost much. The Trustees should take care that they did not put their foot in it in having to go they did not put their foot in it in having to go away for their timber. One did not like. to hear these imputations raised when there was no ground for Ihem. The question really was whether there was anything in the nature of corruption. There was no suggestion of that. kind. If the Trustees were of opinion that any- thing of that kind had taken plaice, they ought to say so plainly, and not make these, remarks (hear, hear).—Sir William Preece said he quite agreed with Mr Issard Davies that they had been a. very happy family; but he thought it would be an advantage to the Trust that every member should know exactly what was the legal posi- tion in which he stood, and for that reason he would supnort the proposal.—Mr Issard Davies said he would move a, direct negative.—This was only supported by Mr Davies himself and Mr Trevor Hughes. Mr Lloyd Carter's motion was carried.

A MOELFRA UFEBOAT CREW AT CHESTER. The Moelfra lifeboat crew sailed last week from Moelfra to Chester to exchange the reserve life- boat, "Thomas Fielden," for the lifeboat "Star of Hope," which is permanently attached to the station, and had been undergomg overhauling and repair by Mr Roberts, boatbuilder, Crane Bank. Chester. The lifeboat-men arrived at Chester on Tuesday, and were hospitably enter- tained and put up for the night at the Red Lion, Lower Bridge-street, They returned on the following day to Moelfra in their own boat, "The Star of Hope," and accompanied by the best wishes of many people in Chester who had the pleasure of seeing them off. The coxswain of the crew, Captain Owens, is erect and vigorous though in his 74th year. He was one of the men who figured in the sad events which followed the tragic wreck of the "Royal Charter." Another member of the crew was one of the divers who were engaged in picking up the gold and the drowned bodies.

BAISGOR GIRLS' SUHOOL, PRIZE DAY. The annual prize-day ceremony in connection with the Bangor County School for Girls took place on Tuesday, when there was a crowded audience. in the school building. The chair was oocupied by Professor J. J. Dobbie, chairman of the governors, who was supported by the I Headmistress (Miss Mason), ,Dr Isambard Owen (Senior Deputy-Chancellor of the University of Wales), and others. I The Chairman stated that during the last session, the County Governing Body had de- cided to include in their proposed amendments I of the Carnarvonshire scheme a provision for scholarships to enable girls to pass from the ele- mentary to- the secondary schools. ,No such pro- vision existed at present in; the scheme, and the want had been met hitherto, -at ,that school by the success of the efforts of the governors in raising private subscriptions. The money so raised had been expended hitherto in helping girls who had actually entered the school rather than in giving entrance scholarships, but in view of the permanent provision which would be made under the scheme the governors felt that they might now devote a. part of the money that they had in their 'hands to entrance scholar- ships ((applause). The discussions which ter- minated in this decision of the County Govern- ing Body gave rise to a; great deal of criticism not flattering to the school or its governors. That was not the occasion on which, to enter into controversial matters, but there were two mat- ters of complaint against the scihool which were too extraordinary in character to Ibe passed over. Probably they would agree with him that the school was not in ,t very bad' way when the worst things that could be said of it with any foundation of truth were thait it possessed a balance at the bank, and that it was able to at- tract girls from outside its own district, (ap- plause). In regard to the balance at Vle blnk, it was almost entirely a myth it only existed in the sense dn which (1. man had a, balance who had money in hand but more claims upon the monev than it would suffice to meet. The in- come of the school wa.s bairely sufficient to main- tain the school efficiently, although the fees were high comparatively and their mistresses were probably worse paid t-hori in any other school in the, county (applause). As-to the capita!, the small balance was already" fully pledged for necessary schw>l purposes, and moie „<ipi a ,^as urgently needed for extensions oi ti e 1' s wh'eh 'had been pressed upon J]le. ffTp 11 JS e inspector of the Central Welsh -Board as necessary. The pasit session had been remarkable for the, success which the t pupils of the Jchool had gained, and those dis- tmctioins the mistresses might well be proud of, .and the governors congratulated them heartily .and the governors congratulated them heartily upon the frajt r^f 'their labours (applause). 1 T^e headmistress (Miss Mason) expressed the p easure Dr Isambard Owen's visit to the school gave them, and their keen appreciation of an 10noiir which involved so much personal trouble time (applause). After describing the work °f the year and the honours gained by various Pupils, she went to say that the girls continued to enter the school young, and in consequence to do their work with comparative ease. This year three of the best junior certificates were ob- tained by girls of 14, two of whom had en- tered as early as possible, and the' third had been trained previously in a school of the same type. The best. senior certificate, with seven distinct-ions, was obtained by ft girl only 16, I, who also entered the school "early. This year] with the prospect of an increased grant, after much deliberation, three scholarships were offered in JuJy to girls from elementary schools, and in September an opem one toi girls under 13, ajid a fifth, from a private donor, to girls under 14 from secondary schools. It should be clearly understood that all o& those schol-asrhips were I given out of funds which the .governors had at their disposal, absolutely independent of the I scheme or the jurisdiction of the County Go- vermng Body. As this fund was not inex- haustible, the governors confidently hoped that tlie admirable examples of Sir Henry Tate, Mr C. 1 lerce. Mr 'Beit, and Mr Frankan, would not the admirable examples of Sir Henry Tate, Mr C. PIerce. Mr Beit. a.nd Mr Frankan, would not have beeiii set in vain (applause). A perpetual scholarship fund was the governors' desire. A wed-,invested £ 1000 was all they wanted (ap- plause). Proceedins, Miss Mason eloquently I set forth her high educational ideals. Dr Isambard Owen, who was well received, congratulated the governors and the staff on the flourishing state of the school. He proceed- ed to point out by some brief illustrations the various methods bv which truth was ascertained ¡ 111 human affairs, first the mathematical method, secondly the scientific method, and thirdly the I' historical method, and to show that by the pro- per use of those various methods thev'would be ab.e to shape tlheir course across their future life just as a. captain shaped the course of his "hip across the sea. I The prizes were then distributed.
