LETTER TO THE EDITOR. INFECTION AND THE USE OF SALT.

DEATH OF MR WILLIAM RATHBONE. Mr William Rathbone died at his residence, Greenbank, Liverpool, on Thursday evening. Mr William Rathbone was born in 1819, at CornhiM, Liverpool. He was educated at a. school kept 'by Hesrr Voelker, a Prussian poli- tioal exile, and after having travelled on the I Continent and in America, he joined his father's firm. He married, in 1847, Miss Lucretia Gair, daughter of Mr S. S. Gair. She died in 1858. His action in preventing the whitewashing of Srsons connected with contract scandals in the imean War made his name known throughout the kingdom. Struck by the value of the ser- vices of the sick nurse to his wife in her illness, he took action and built the first Nurses' Home in Liverpool. Five years later, every district in Liverpool was under the charge of a nurse. Thus he was the fonuder of the district nursing the first mayor of Liverpool after the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act. He took a. leading part in connection with the cotton famine relief fund during the Ameri- can Civil WI3I. £100,000 was contributed in Liverpool. He took great interest in electoral and other reforms, ajid had much to do with the passing of many bills for the prevention of cor- ruption and mismanagement, and notably in se- curing the reform of bankruptcy procedure. He practically organised the Liberal party in Liver- pool, and he may be also regarded as the found- er off the University College in that town. In 1880, he abandoned his Liverpool seat, which he had held since 1868, to Lord iRamsav, and stood for South-west Lancashire, where he was beatlen. !But upon the elevation to the judicial bench of Mr Watkin Williams^ the Liberals in Carnarvonshire chose Mr Rathbone as their can- didate, and for fourteen years he uninterruptedly represented first the county division as a whole, and afterwards the northern part of it, now re- presented "by Mr William Jones. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that Mr Rathbone paid nearlv all the expenses of the organisation dur- ing the years he represented the division. Short- ly after Mr Rathbone announced his intention to retire in 1894, Mr C. H. Darbishire, who wad the treasurer of the Liberal Association, told the association that he should have to return to them the trust which he had held, as during the time he had acted as treasurer all he had man- aged to collect was JB6 or JB7 a year, while Mr Rathbone subscribed £230. Likewise, 'Mr Rath- bone's contributions to other causes in his con- stituency were on a most handsome scale. He, with the late Sir Henry Tate, took particular pride in all the stages of Welsh education, more particularly in the establishment of intermediate and technical schools. From time to time, Mr Rathbone consulted Mr D. P. Williams and other leading educationists' in the county, and gave of his money and influence to establish secondary schools in the industrial centres. In this re- spect, his death will be an irreparable loss to Carnarvonshire. He was also president of t-he North Wales University College, a post which he resigned some two years a^o. owing to ad- vancing years. The college had an excellent friend in Mr Rathbone, and in the proposed changes, involving the erection of new buildings, he took a. very keen interest. Since his retire- ment from Parliamentary life, about six years ago, Mr Rathbone's connection wirh Carnarvon- shire became considerately relaxed, and his visits to the county far less frequent. His in- tention to retire from the representation of the Arvon Division) was conveyed in a valedictory address delivered to the association in 1894. He took an immense interest in all questions of so- cial reform, and with regard to the temperance question, he, in 1892, commissioned Mr E. L. Fanshawe, of the Inner Temple, to examine and report om temperance legislation in the United States and Ca<nada. The result was a work of great value to temperance reformers. For some years, he had lived in retirement, but continued to take a lively interest in tall public questions. THE FUNERAL. A REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION OF RESPECT NtD SORROW. The remains of Mr William Rathbone, the venerable philanthropist and politician, were cremated on Monday, at Liverpool. On Tues- day, the ashes were deposited with funereal rites in the family grave. Marks of resipect were in evidence in all parts of the city. Flags floated at half-mast, over nearly all tftie principal public buildings. Large crowds of people lined the thoroughfares leading from; Green-hank, Wavertree, to Ullet-road Church, where the service was held prior to the burial at Smithdowin-road Cemetery. There were hundreds of carriages in the procession, which was nearly a. mile long. The large gathering was peculiarly represeota- tive of the Various phases of work with which the late Mr William Rathlbone was so closely connected. The Victoria Jubilee District Nur- sing Association was represented by some 45 nurses, wearing their costumes and .badges. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Charles Petrie) attend- ed, accompanied by Alderman Bowring, Mr R. A. Hampsoin, C.C., the Town Clerk (Mr Pick- mere), and Judge Collier. The strains of Mendelssohn's "Funeral March," played on the organ, broke the silence as the procession of chief mourners entered the church. The veined alabaster casket, containing the ashes of the deceased, borne by six men, was encir- cled by beautiful wreaths and other floral tokens, The service was conducted by the minister of the church, !Rev Dr Beaumont Klein. The Psalms chanted were "The Lord is my Shepherd" and "I will lift mine eyes unto the hills," and the anthem sung was Spohr's 'fBlesfc are the de- parted." Dr (Beaumont Klein, in the course of an elo- quent address, dwelt on the life history and char- acter of the departed. Referring to his connec- tion with Wales, he observed It was intellec- tual conviction which led the way when he was labouring to promote higher education by es- tablishing a college in his native city, or in Ban- gor while he was representing a Welsh constitu- ency in Parliament. He believed in education, in culture. He realised .the value of knowledge, and found that ignorance is the parent of much wrong in society. He wished the city of his fbirt'h and the oountry which he loved to be blessed by knowledge, but a knowledge made perfect through love. Hence his inability to separate education from religion in his affections. Mr 'Rathbone's religion is well described in the works of a saintly friend of his. It was a. reli- gion seeking to apply "the laws of life after the mind of C&dst." To assimilate the spirit of that mind, and humbly, patiently, faithfully to walk under the guidance of that spirit, was our departed friend's religion. Hence i.t is tha.t his1 religion included, also, tolerance towards all who might differ ifromhim. but a. tolerance bom of conviction, not of indifference to truth. While men stand doubting, hesitating, compromising, trying to make the best of iboth. worlds, and fail- ing, as they must, in the attempt, this man you are burying to-day came simply, honestly, and in the course of a long life spent- in vour midst he has shown you. how religion and life can be lived as one, and lived successfully. As the congregation left the church, Hlandels March" was played on the organ. The service at the graveside was short and im- pressive, amd at its conclusion the viast gatherrag slowlv dispersed in silence. Many lingered for a. considerable time on the spot, reverently gaz- ing upon the casket which contained all that re- mained of their beloved citizen. The chief mourners were Mrs Rathlbone {widow), .Mr and Mrs W. G. (Rathbone and Miss Rathbone, Mr and Mrs Hugh Rathbone, Mr and Mrs A. L. Rathbone, Missi'E'. F. Miss Elena Rathbone, Miiss H. M.

The latter bore the legend: "In remembrance and humble love of one of God's best and greatest sons." A great many public bodies have parsed reso- lutions of condolence with the family, and ex- pressed a sense of the loss sustained by the I nation. Mr J. Allanson Picton, at a meeting of the governors of the Llandudno Intermediate School, moved the following resolution — "That the Llandudno Local Govemiog Body have seen with deep sorrow the announcement of the death of Mr William Rathbone, and desire to record their profound sense of the priceless services rendered I by their departed friend to the cause of educa- tion and popular culture in North Wales; they most respectfully wish to tender their heartfelt sympathy to Mrs Rathbone and all the members of the family, and they also trust that the illus- trious example of the deceased may be fruitful after his death in leading others to imitate his noible devotion to the enlightenment of the peo- ple.—-The resolution was seconded by Mr W. iBevan (chairman of the school board), and car- ried unanimously. At the University College of orth Wales, the Bangor Normal College, and other colleges at Bangor, flags were on Tuesday displayed at half-mast.—At a meeting of the students of the University College of North Wales, on Monday, the Chainman (Mr Tom IRichards) made a sym- pathetic reference to the demise otf Mr Rathbone, whose services in elevating the condition of the University ColLege, and his: generous interest in the institution, could never be over-rated (hear, hear). At Carnarvon, the flag on the Guild Hall and that on the Liberal Olub were displayed at half- mast. At a meeting of the governing body for the county of Denbigh, under the Welsh Interme- diate Education Act, at Denbigh, Professor Lloyd (Bangor) proposed that the committee should place on record its deep sense of the loss which Welsh education had sustained by the which Welsh education had sustained by the death of Mr William Rathbone, of Liverpool, and thiat the sympathy of the committee should be conveved to the family and relatives. It was within the knowledge of all that Mr Rathbone was one of the pioneers of the Welsh inter- mediate education movement, and he believed was one of the first men responsible for the fact that the Welsh 'Education Act included a pro- vision for a rat e. which at that time was a very novel idea. From his own experience of the work accomplished by Mr IRathbone in connec- tion with the of North Wales, he could say that Mr Rathbone always brought an element of hopefulness, and produced con- I fidence in their deliberations (hear, hear).—Mr J. W. Lumley second-cd the motion, remarking that in Mr Rathbone's death the cause of edu- cation in Wales had lost a hearty supporter an'd a liberal contributor.—The motion was unani- mously carried in silence. The Rev James, Davies, M.A.. incumbent of The Rev James, Davies, M.A.. incumbent of St. 'David's Church, Browniow-hill, in the course of a sermon, said the world could ill-afford to I part with such worthies as the late William Ruthbone. a man who had devoted, for upwards of 60 years', the noblest and best of talents to the service fpllow-crea tures. His character was bcvnitiful. his sympathy wide and practical, i and KèllTJÜght Liverpool and North Wales to- dy mourn their loss. To no good work was he 1 ever deaf. In him the poor found a wise and loving administrator of the poor-law, the sick and suffering a princely helper, and the cause of education an ever active supporter. As Welsh people, they were particularly indeJrxed to him for the present perfect system of education in the Principality. Mr D. P. Williams, of Llanberis, who knew Mr Rathbcrse well for many years, having acted as chairman of his committee at two General Elections, and having ,subsequently been in close touch with him in connection with educational movements in Carnarvonshire, says —. It has been my privilege to witness a. good deal of the work done by Mr Rathbone during the time he represented the Arvon Division of Carnarvon- shire, and up to the present time. It is only those who were brought, into close contact with him in his work who can fully realise the infinite enthusiasm, determination, and faith that Mr Rathboiic possessed, as also the tact, wisdom, and diplomacy with which he always carried out his plans. Mr Rathbone was a born leader of men. and had not only implicit confidence him- self in the success of whatever work he took in hand, but had also the rare gift of inspiring others with his faith, and was thus able to over- come whatever difficulties and apparent impossi- bilities there might be in the way. We in Car- narvonshire can never forget all he has xor us, and it is to his labours and munificence that we owe the present satisfactory position of technical, intermediate, and higher education, and his name will always the a. great and hon- oured one among At the meeting of the Pwllheli Town Council, on Friday, Mr Anthony proposed a. vote of sym- pathy with the family -of the late Mr Willi'am Rathbone. He wished them to pass it as a coun- cil, and not in a political sense (hear. hear). Mr (Rathbone had been as a neighbour to them. They knew well of 'his character and* his gener- osity, not only in Liverpool, but also outside that city. They knew of the Igreat service he had done for education in the county (hear. hear). He formally proposed a vote of sympathy with the family.—Mr H. P. Jones seconded, and the motion was passed in silence. At the meeting of the Portmadoc Urban Coun- cil, on Tuesday, the Chairman (Dr Jones -Morris) paid a high tribute to the late Mr William Rath- lbone. As the Parliamentary representative of the Arvon Division, as a strong advocate off education, and as a generous man, they were bound to respect him, and sympathise with, bis family. He proposed a vote of sympathy with the family.—Mr E. Roberts seconded, and the motion was carried. At the meeting of the Carnarvon County Council, 001 Thursday, Mr J. T. Jones (Cric- cieth). referring to the death of Mr Rathbone, said that Mr Rathbotnie's services to the county as its representative in Parliament for many years, the interest he had taken in the affairs of the county, and the service he had rendered to the cause of education, called upon them to pass a vote of sympathy with Mrs Rathbone and family in the severe loss which they had re- ceived through! the death of Mr Rathbone. A more sincere man or a higher moral character than Mr Rathbone never came amongst- thesn (hear. hear). He begged to move that the Coun- cil express its heartfelt and sincere sympathy with Mrs Rathbone and the family in their great bereavement, and recorded its sense of the great service rendered by the deceased to the county as its representative in Parliament for many years, which service would cause his memory to be held in great respect by the county generally, and his generosity towards the cause of educa- tion would keep IhlS name honoured for ever in I Carnarvonshire and throughout Wales. Mr Issard Davies feelingly seconded the mo- kon. He said endorsed every word uttered by Mr Jones. He knew no man to whom they owed so much' gratitude for his services to the public. Single minded above men and generous above men (hear, hear), Ihe seemed to live going about doing good (hear. hear). They were in- debted to him deeply, not only for .personal services, but also for his munificence fhear, hear). The Chairman supported the motion, and said I he would ajso add his personal experience of Mr Rathlbone's munificence. The Vicar of Carnarvon had said from- the pulpit of one of ) the churches that he- had never had a. single re- fusal from Mr Rathbone whenever he had I brought to his notice any good cause. The motion was carried in silence, all the members standing.

THE BONTNEWYDD ORPHAN- AGE. OPENING CEREMONY. An interesting event in the history of Welsh Nonconformity was the handing over. on Thurs- day, to the Calvinistic Methodists in Carnar- vonshire, of the new orphanage at Bontnewydd. The institution owes its origin to Mr R. B I Ellis, of Bronant, who gave a. piece of freehold land and £1000 to the Arvon Calvinistic Meth- odist Presbytery for the purpose. Other mem- bers of the denomination subscribed, and this, together with house-to-house collections, enabled the promoters to open the orphanage free of debt. The building, which cost £2500, was de- signed by Mr Taliesin Rees, Birkenhead, and erected by Mr Richard Jones, Twrog Mills. It has been certified to accommodate 31 children. A large and influential gathering assembled for topening ceremony, over which presided the Rev Richard Humhpreys, as chairman of the Arvon Presbytery. The Rev W. W. Williams, Beddgelert, secretary of the committee, sub- mitted a statement ?rom which it appeared that the Ladies' Committee had undertaken to fur- nish the building at a cost of £300, of which nearly £200 had been collected by Mrs Jones, Plasybryn.

The building was declared open by Mrs R. B. Ellis, to whom a gold .key, the gift of the architect, was hamded by Master John Lloyd Jones.

THE AFFAIKH OF A CAHNAR- VONSHIRE QUARRY. Re the Gallt-y-Fedw Slate Quarry, Limited, I v. Bowyer and Riley.—In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, on Thursday, be- fore Mr Justice Kekewich, Mr George Lawrence said he had' an application in the above matter with the consent of the trustee of the trust detid of the Gallt-y-Fedw Slate Quarry, Limited, near Carnarvon, and of the company, for the appoint- ment of a receiver and manager of the company. There were two issues of debentures. There was the issue of mortgage debenture tock, which was a first charge upon the undertaking of the company, and the first plaintiff sued on behalf of himself and all other holders of that stock. Then tihere was a second issue of debenture stock, and the second plaintiff appealed on behalf of himself and all the other holders of that stock. The interest was in arrear, and by virtue of that, under the trust deed the principal became due. By another clause in the trust deed the security became enforceable if the company stopped work. The Company owned a slate quarry, and the I wages of the men were payable 14 days after the end of each working month, and the month's wages, amounting to £530, became payable the following day (Friday). There was the evi- dence of one of the plaintiffs, and also a director, which showed that the directors had for some time been finding money to carry on the works, and stating that unless the wages were paidf the quarry would be closed down and there would be no chance of selling the quarry as a going concern. He (counsel) asked his lordship to appoint a receiver and manager to act at once. Mr Justice Kekewich appointed a receiver and manager to act until June 30, and also gave leave manager to act until June 30, and also gave leave to borrow £530 for the payment of wages. I
