DISCUSSES STAGE PERILS. Mies BJsncbe Harcocrt, the popular music- hall favourite, has been tilking to a London paper about Stage Peri's. "Stars" of the theatrical world are envied for their big salaries: hot Isays Miss Hurcourt), "people little know the struggles which their favonrite artistes have to go tbroagh." One danger which Miss Harsonrt knows how to avert was described by her in a chat in her charming house at 5, St. Mary's-street, Ken- nington road, London. Last Antumn," said abe, in relating this anecdote, I contracted, Miss Blanche Haroourt. (From a photograph.) -while attending a Garden Party, a chill which lea to rheumatic fever. But for Dr Williams' pink pilJs for pale people that Garden Party would have cost me dear! I was laid up for a fort- night, and when I recommenced my Professional Engagements I felt' all to pieces.' My nerves were completely shattered. I Buffered with terrible headaches and sickness, and it was often a fearful ordeal for me to go tnrough my turn.' All food seemed nauseous, and my appetite be- came so poor that my weight WIIS reduced in two months two stone and a half. I uped to lie in bed half the day, and then crawl out to the theatre to do my c turn.' I seemed to have lost all my energy, and my complexion went as yellow as saffron. I actually paid a boy to see me safely to the stage door, I felt so ill. I con- sulted doctors in several towns, but it was not until after I had tried Dr Wdliams1 pink pills that I got any relief at all. The first box I took did me a lot of good, and 1 improved with every dose I took, until now, after taking three boxes I can safely 9-ky I am thoroughly cured. I feel Ma fit as a fiddle,' and can eat like a Trojan. It is a mystery to me how all the horrible head- aches, biliousness, languor, and giddiness have been so quickly and completely banished; but I am glad enough to know that they have gone from me."

THE TRANSFORMATION. Such was the experience of this charming commedienne, whose pub'iic reputn-tion lends weight as well as interest to her words. She nnys that her Transformation is due to the pills. Readers will observe tha.t it was the genuine Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people that cured her—not a substitute, and the public will do well to note that substitutes never seem to have cured anyone. Anaemia, biliousness, consumption, decline eczema, fits, gout, heart disease, indiges- tion kidney disorders, liver complaint, para. lvdfl and St. Vitus' dance are among the dis- 2 they have cured.

LLANGEFNI HORSE, DOG, AND POULTRY SHOW. The ninth annual show was held on Friday last. Although the weather was threatening in the morning it cleared up by the afternoon, and several hundreds of people visited the show grounds. The arrangements for the show had been carried out by a, committee, of which Mr A. W. Jones, Plas Hen, Gaerwen, was the chair- man, and Mr Richard Jones, junior, Central Buildings, Llangefni, the treasurer, while the onerous secretarial duties were carried out by Mr T. J. Pnchard, the Pharmacy. The pre- sident was Mr J. H. Pritchard-Rayner, Trescawen, Llangwyllog; tie vice-president, Mr Arthur W. Jones, Plas Hen; the hon. vet. surgeon, Mr W. H. Savage, Banger while the superintendents were Dr J. R. Prytherch and Mr W. Hughes Jones. Owing to the lateness of the season, several farmers were unable to send exhibits to the show, although the-re was a record number of entries, but the quality of the exhibits was of a much higher standard than the previous years. In the heavy horse section an exhibitor, Mr T. Jones, Gelliniog Wen, Dwyran, was offered, by the judge, £ 300 for an agricultural mare, which took the prize in its class and also the champion cup, but the offer was not accepted..Mr 0. Trevor Williams, Llangefni, gained the champion cup in the light horses section, with a two-year-old animal. The jumping and trotting competitions and the pony races were followed with great interest bv the people. JUDGES. Heavy horses: Mr A. W. Richman, St. Albans. Light horses: Mr R. Whitworth, Halifax.

n The "Westminster Gazette" observes —We I are surprised that Mr Bromley-Davenport has as vet made no, move in the matter of his state- ment as to the Penrhyn quarrymen's three months' holiday. The position is quite simple (a) If Mr Llovd-George' statements be untrue. Air Bromley-Davenport can score heavily by showiiicr them to be so. (b) If Air Lloyd-George i« risrh £ Mr .Brornley-Davt noort- owes the Ek>use of Co-in-m-ons- a persontil explanation for having misled it—of course, not- consciously. But Mr Bromley-Davenport, sensitive as he has shown himself to be of his honour, can hardly make no reply to Mr Lloyd-George. We await an ex- posure—or an apology.

CARNARVON HAKBOUR TRUST J TUESDAY.—Present: Mr J. Menzies (chair- I Dwn), Alessrs Harry Ciegg (vice-chairman), E. H. Owen, J. Issfard Davies, H. Richards, Tho- I mas Owen, Charles H. Roets, J. Fletcher, John Prichard, Richard Thomas, T. M. Lloyd, Job Bowen, H. Lloyd Carter, W. 'LI. Griffith, M. T. Alorris, W. G. Thomas, C. Wawn, Thomas Hughes, Llewelyn Morgan, Edward Hughes, Thomas, Owen, Captain Richard Jones, Dr John Williams, Mr Charles A. Jones (solicitor to the Trust), and Air W. Bowen Jones (surveyor). LETTERS.—A letter was lead from Air Richard Roberts, agent to the Hon. F. G. Wynn, stating that he would accept £1000 now, and the balance at the convenience of the Trustees for the repayment of mortgage.—A letter was read from the Corporation asking the Trust to con- tribute again towards the maintenance of the light at Talyfoel. — It was resolved that the Trust contribute 25s per annum as heretofore towards the maintenance of the lig. ELECTRIC LIGHT.—A letter was lead fiom the Corporation asking the Trust to sell a plot of land at the Gasworks, as a site for the electric light works. The committee recommended that an offer be made to the Corporation of the plot of land, lj acres in extent,, at the gasworks at 2s 6d per square yard, subject to the same being put up for public auction according to Act of Parliament.—-The Mayor opened a discussion, but the Chairman interposed, remarking that being a member of the Corporation the Mayor would refrain from taking part in the matter as he was one of the contracting parties. — The Alayor replied that if the rule suggested, by the chairman was to be also applied to members of the Trust when questions affecting the interest of the Trust came u,p, then there were occasions when none of the members could take part in the discussion.—Dr J. Williams I think that .the Alayor's contention is perfectly right,—The Chairman observed that he merely mentioned1 it as a matter of propriety that members directly or indirectly interested' in a contract should not take part in deciding upon it.—Ultimately, on the motion of Air H. Lloyd Carter, it wa.s agreed that the matter be deferred until definite informa- tion had been received' from the Corporation. PROPOSED DREDGING OF BARRAS CHANNEL.—The Surveyor reported as follows regarding the above:—"I have made a careful I survey of the Barras Channel, and the following changes are to'be noted therein :—All soundings, are reduced to Admiralty datum. In front of the Foel Pier in 1872 there were 13 feet of water, but in 1892 there were only 6 inches Now there are five feet. At the low-water stage in 1872 there were '14 inches, in 1892 8 feet, and there is about the fsame depth now. About 200 yards north of the low-water stage in 1872 the depth of water was only 3 feet in 1892 it was 7 feet, and in this spot, ther-eis now a depth of 13 feet. This portion of the channel in 1872 appears to have been very shallow as for a' length of about 350 yards, only three and four feet are recorded on the chart. In 1892, the shallows seemed to have moved north, and the least depth found in that year was four feet at a point about 600 yards north of the low-water stage, cr about; 250 yards south of Barras Perch. This year the shallows have still moved north, and the least depth is now found about 350 yards north of the perch, the depth there being three feet six inches. I have prepared a section of the channel from the Foel Pier to the fort. opposite Trefarthen, where the Barras jeins the main channel, showing the records given in the "charts of 1872, 1892, and my survey of this year. The section speaks for itself, and needs ( little explanation. Comparing the position and width of the channel, there seems to have been considerable alteration from the Barras Perch northwards between 1872 and 1892 for a distance of 600 yards, and the width of the channel at low-water in 1872 Was about 200 yards, whereas in 1892 it had been reduced to abuu; half that width. Within the last few years the channel, at low-water has been further narrowed at the point where the least, depth before referred to is now obtained, andtherearelargedeposits of sand and gravel in process of accumulation on the cast side of the channel. This formation, which can be described aJ!lt recent, is somewhat similar to the material forming Bar Bach, but carrying more mud, and as not. so easily disturbed. It may be correctly described as firm sand, and it is referred to as such 011 the charts. Summarising the charts for the three years mentioned and my own. survey, the results axe as follows:—1872, least depth 3 feet-aihallo-ws 200 yards north of low-water landing ytage; 1892, 4 feet, shallows 600 yards do. lb/03, 3 feet 6 inches, shallows 11200 do., practically showing that there is no change to record in the minimum depth of Barras Channel within the last 30 years. This is not so as regards width, and, consequently, navigation at extreme low-water of high springs has become difficult. The lar^e bank situated between the Foel gutter and Trefarthen fort has considerably altered within recent yetors at its north end, and1 is higher and' wider, but there it little or no alteration at the south end to the Foel gutter. The rising of this bank is, no doubt, the cause of the silting up at the side of the channel near the shallows at the point 1200 yards north of the low-water stage. The Bar and Channels Com- mittee in their' report dated October, 1901, were of opinion that the dredging of back channels: could not be undertaken without danger to the main channel, and with this opinion I entirely agree."—Mr Harry Clegg said that if they must remove this large quantity of sand they would have to find a place for it elsewhere. The ques- tion was where was it to go?—Captain Richard Jones said that the (Kind was now higher than it ever had been before. There was more water there now than there was in 1872.—Air Wawn said that this was an important matter for the town. The Corporation had had great difficulty with this sand, He could not see any difficulty in removing it.—Air Richard Thomas observed that the stuff had accumulated on the hard ground, aria it was this that they wanted to remove.—The Mayor asked whether they could not experiment in the matter.—Captain Richard Jones replied that they might as well take it all œ experiment.—The Chairman You are amply provided for this in the Provisional Order.—Mr Job Bowen: I think that we should adhere to the decision of the Bar Committee.—The Chair- man As far as I am concerned I don't intend supporting the matter at all.—Air Issard Davies proposed that thev get expert- evidence.—Air Wawn said that, he understood that the expense should be borne by the Corporation.—The Mayor I suppose, that we must go into the mat- ter in a friendly way.—The Chairman proposed "That the Trustees, in view of the opinion of their surveyor and the report of the Bar and Channels- Committee, regret that- they cannot accede to the application of the Corporation to dredge the 'Barras Channel."—Captain Richard Jones seconded, and it was carried.—The Chair- man also moved "That if the Corporation should decide under the powers of their Act of 1897 to apply to the Board of Trade under section 11. sub-section 2. for a local inquiry, the Trust would be willing to bear one-half the expense of the expert sent down by the Board of Trade to hold such inquiry.—The Mayor seconded the proposal, which was unanimously carried.

Robert Newton, Griffith Owen, Edward Parry, John Prichard, J. T. Roberts, Nath. Roberts, Tom. Roberts, and' Richard Thomas, together with Mr J. H.

Bills amounting to J31155 were ordered to be paid. The collec- tions amounted to £2S4. It was recommended that the offeT of the "Penrhyn Lodge of Odd- fellows of a further loan of JB50 be accepted.

It was also resolved to make and levy a general district rate of two shillings and ninepence in the pound on the rate- able value of all the property a.sses-sable to such rate within the district of the borough.

THE GAS COMMITTEE. Alderman Parry proposed the adoption of the ¡ report of the Gas Committee. This was seconded by Councillor 'Richard Thomas, and adopted also without discussion. Tenders were submitted for a hand-drilling machine. Resolved that .the tender of Air Griffith Jones for £6 lis 6d be accepted.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. Councillor John Prichard propos*d' the adop- tion of the report of this committee, which re- commended1 certain alterations in the draft agreement with the National Wiring Company and that negotiations be opened with the Har- bour Trust with a view of acquiring the site which was considered an excellent one. Coun- cillor Prichard said he would be glad if the Council would defer considering the signing of • the agreement until after the Council meeting. I Councillor J. Fletcher seconded, and the report was adopted.

SANITATION. Councillor G. R. Griffith proposed the <¡¡¡op- tion of the report- of the Sanitary Committee. which recommended the acceptance- of several plans. The Surveyor reported having had to pull down the eight houses recently purchased by the Corporation at Cadnant-place, which had be- come dangerous to passengers, and that he con- sidered the next four Tiou.ses below the same to be in quite as dangerous a state. Resolved that the owners' attention be called to the state of the houses- in question, and informed that the com- mittee are prepared to consider a- reasonable offer respecting the same. Recommended that notices be served on the different owners of bakehouses requiring the provision of impervious floors, and the removal of all drain openings. Owing to a complaint having been received in writing, stating that a drain belonging to Nos. 11, 13, and 15, Castle-street, is a nuisance and injurious to health, it is recommended that in pursuance of Section 41 of the Public Health Act, 1875, it be specially resolved by the Coun- cil that the surveyor be empowered to enter such premises, and cause the drains complained of examined after due notice to the occupiers, and thja/t the SUnitary Comarti'ttee 'be1 .given ful power to carry out the requirements of the sec- tion referred to in regard to this particular case. Recommended that the tender of John Griffiths (£3), the only tender received for stable manure for the ensuing year, be accepted. Councillor Griffith added that tie committee •had' met afterwards to consider the state of the houses in Tan'rallt, and found they were very dangerous. They might fall down any minute. He would not like to pass them in a storm. The committee recommended the. Council to allow the committee t<j take proceedings for their demolition. Councillor R. Thomas seconded. In reply to Councillor Fletcher, the proposer explained that the houses above tkis property had been purchased by the Council and de- molished. Councillor Griffith then proposed "that the Mayor (Councillor W. G. Thomas), Aldermen J. Williams, R. Parry, Councillors Richard Thomas, G. R. Griffith, R. O. 'Roberts, R. Gordon-Roberts, J. Davies, E. E. Jonathan, T. Roberts, and Nath. Roberts, be appointed under Section 200 of the Public Health Act., 1875, a committee to carrv out the purposes of Part III and' Sections 169 and 170 of the Public Health Act, 1875 (except such portion of Section 42 of the said Act as relates to the watering of streets, and Sections 51 to 61 both inclusive), and to exercise such powers of the said Act as it may be necessary to put in force for carrying out such purposes." He explained that this was necessary in order to enable the committee to deal more quickly with cases of nuisances. Councillor W. Hamer seoonded. Councillor J. T. Roberts said that he fully agreed with the proposal but doubted1 whether the Council had the power to delegate its duties to any committee. Alderman Dr Parry said it was done by several Town Councils. He thought that the Sanitaiy Committee undeT the Corporation was really the sanitary authority. The report was then adopted.

HIGHWAYS, STEREOSCOPES, AND HOARDINGS. Alderman John Williams proposed the adopt- tion of the report of the Highway Committee. A complaint received' from the occupiers of TVthill Cottage, Maelgwyn, and Fa.ir View, and adjoining premises in Mount Pleasant-square, respecting a hoarding lately erected on a wall opposite their premises, was considered, and instructions given the surveyor, who reported sucb hoarding to be projecting about three inches from the ground upwards, to cause tlie same to be removed. The surveyor was also instructed to cause a number of auto-stereoscope machines recently fixed at the side of various public highways Within- the borough, so as to be dangerous projections and cause of obstruc- tion, to be removed forthwith. A letter dated 14th inst. was read from Air Kay-Alenzies, High- field, objecting to the seat recently placed^at side of footway below his. premises, and asking the committee to remove the same. Recom- mended that the seat which has been placed on the site of the old one be not removed. The surveyor was asked to call upon the owners of the building sites near Campbell-road, to cause the space at front of same to be cleared and made safe for the public. Alderman Williams added that he ha.d read a letter from the manager of the auto-stereoscopic machines, stating that where these projected he was willing to move them back, but adding that he paid high rents to the owners of the property abutting on where they stood. Councillor Richard Thomas seconded the adoption of the report. Councillor J. T. Roberts thought that if these machines were far enough back so as not to project on the pavement they ought to let them- remain. It was nonsense, to say that the people looking into them caused an obstruction. They might as well say that two men standing on the pavement to talk, or a nursemaid with a perambulator adjusting the wheel, caused an ob- struction. He proposed that they should defer the matter -so that they might have an opportun- ity of meeting the manager and come to some arrangement. He would alco propose that the clause referring to the hoarding be deleted. He added that the Ferry Committee were in treaty for putting up hoardings on the ferry boat. Alderman Parry seconded, and said that the o-reat thing" would' be to prevent obstruction. They ought- not to allow any encroachment, and he believed the committee should have been approached before the machines were put up. The question of the stereoscope machines was referred back to the; committee. With regard to the hoardings in Twthiil, a letter was read from the .occupier of F"ir View, stating that he did not- object to the hoarding, and considered it an improvement upon the wall. Another letter was read from th" Car- narvoTi Billposting Company urprin<? the Council not to pull down the hoarding, whilst several of { the Carnarvon printers wrote asking the Cor- poration to give every facility to the billpost-ing company. I Councillor Griffith Owen -asked who was re- 1 sponsible for the complaint dated from Fair VieWt i. J* The Alayor replied that the name J. W. Dav^e* appeared on the first letter. Now the name was Bolter. Councillor Nath. Roberto explained that there had been a change of tenancy. Alderman D. T. Lake seconded the motion for referring this matter also back to the com- mittee. A petition was also read from Alessrs A W. Kay-Alenzies and J. H. Cousins, asking the Council to remove a seat placed near their houses, as it caused many undesirable characters to linger about there. No action was taken in the matter, and the report was adopted as amended.

GENERAL PURPOSES. Alderman D. T. Lake proposed, and Alderman J P. Gregory seconded, the adoption of the report of the General Purposes Committee. which recommended that the bye-laws re good rule Cin-d government be considered bv the Coun- cil. and- the necessary instructions given to the town clerk. A letter from Messrs LittJebury I Bros., rcceptinj? the offeT of £2 2s recently made for half-mire space in their Steamship Guide to I North Wales was approved of. The report w-ae adopted.

THE FREE LIBRARY. Airman Edward Hughes submitted the re- port of the Library Committee, which showed the total receipts for the year to be _£241 ari<l the expenditure JE162, leaving a balance of £ ic 1 It. was arranged that in future the library snouid be open from 7 to 10 on Wednesdays -IO-n October to March, and close at twelve o c;ock iiooD, and that the salary of the librarian be in- noon, and that the salary of the librarian be in- creased by £10. Durmg the year the iibrary I had 'been visited by 10,907 persons and 12.37 I bookst lent. The Council then went :nto committee to con- sider the electric light question.

THE FERRY AND ABER BRIDGE. Councillor J. T. Roberts proposed the adop- tion of the report of the Ferry Committee, and said he had received a letter from Air Pritchard. the engineer (Jf the bridge, stating that he had I recently tested the bridge, and was confident that there was no ground for supposing that the foundation was settling. The bridge and gear had been severely tried during the past few months, but after a few minor things had been attended to. the consulting engineer did not think they would hear any more of the com- I plaints of the bridge. There had been rumours f that the bridge -was coming to pieces, but there was no foundation to it. The committee recom- mended that Humphrey Jones, 21. North- pen rallt, be appointed assistant engineer, sub- ject to his 'references proving satisfactory'. A I letter dated 14th inst.. received by the account- ant from Mr A. E. Abrahams, advertising con- tractors. London, offering £20 per annum for a period of three years, payable quarterly in ad- vance, for permission to place enamelled iron and framed advertisements on the "Arvon," was read and deferred for consideration till next. meeting. It is recommended that the' bridge and buildings be insured against fire to the amount of JB1200 instead of £3200. A letter was read from the I secretary of the Carnarvon Cricket Club, asking whether the committee could grant them cheap tickets for crossing the bridge, as they had taken a field on the Coed h el en side. Recommended I that the attention of the club be drawn to the reduced rates now granted when 50 tickets are purchased. A quotation of £7 7s received from Messrs A. Rutherford and Co. for a 12-ft. gang- way. made to sketch submitted by them for the "Arvon," was approved of and agreed to. Re- commended that- a wicker ball signal be pro- vided instead of the Burgee flag now used on I flagstaff by silent battery, and that the new dolphins on the "Ynys Men" be covered with leather. Resolved that the "Ynys Mon: be moored when convenient, and the necessarv lights exhibited. Recommended that an offer of £3 received from Mr H. J. Angel, Pool-street. for proposed use of the Abe-r Bridge toll house from May to November be accepted, subject to ( rent. being paid quarterly and in advance. Councillor J. T. Roberts read a. letter received from the Harbour Trust declining to sanction the dredging of the Barras Channel, but signify- ing their readiness to bear half the cost of getting the opinion of a Board of Trade expert. The Mayor said he had not seconded the re- solution, as was said in the letter. What he I seconded was that if the Corporation went to the extent of appealing to the Board of Trade, I the Harbour Trust should pay half the cost. Councillor John Pritchard agreed. I Councillor J. T. Roberts That- is not the only eTror in the letter. The Mayor said he simply explained because it was better to be straight and above board. I With regard to the question of advertising on the steamer. Alderman Parrv said he would have liked to see local tradesmen sending in t-keir tenders. The Alayor said they had been very slow. They had ibetter hurry up, or somebody else would get it. The report having b«<en adopted1. Alderman Edward Hughes asked if the Council were pre- I pared' to go on with a survey of the channel a.t Barras. It seemed to. him that the levels had altered a good1 deal. Before committing them- selves to anything, he would' like them to con- sider whether the present place W3.S the most- suitable for landing on the other side'. Councillor J. T. Roberts replied that the mat- te- would be considered by the Ferry Com- mittee.

THE HARBOUR TRUST PROVISIONAL ORDER. The Mayor read a letter received from their Parliamentary agents, stating that no change it. the representation of the Harbour Trust could be effected by the present ordeT, inasmuch as the notice which appeared in the "London Gazett.e" and the "Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald" did not refeT to any such provision. In that case the Board had. no power to meet the objections of the Anglesey County Council and: the Carnarvon Town Council. Tine Alayor added: that the explanation he received was that the Board of Trade did agree to what the Car- narvon Town Council desired, but- they after- wards consulted the legal authorities, and they said this could not be done for the reason given. Councillor J. T. Roberts expressed his sur- prise that this should occur after the Town Council had agreed not to oppose the Provisional Order on the understanding that- an amicable aiTangement was possible. If they had entered a formal opposition to the Provisional Order it would have altered their status altogether. Op- position was not so much directed to defeating an order aa to obtain- changes in it, and such oppositions were being continually introduced. Whcax the Carnarvon ActJ was passed there were several things not foreshadowed in the advertise- ment which they had to agree should be inserted in order to meet the Harbour Trust and MT Lloyd Hughes, but those1 were not covered by the advertisement. They gave notice of op- position, which they afterwards withdrew. Had the. Town Council given formal notice of op- position to this Provisional Order they would not be in this difficulty. Alderman R. Parry JS.t>,J if they could do anything now. He had been of opinion all along that they ought to have formally objected. Under the circumstances it seemed the Council had been diddled; and the less said about it now the better, since they could not remedy it.. It was a pity they had not opposed' tooth and nail. for the prosperity of the town would have been better looked after by the Town Council. Thev could not get much sympathy from the Harbour Trust in any of their undertakings. The Alayor sai3' that, the only way to get what they wanted was by arrangement with the Har- bour Trust. Councillor R. Thomas explained that it was not the Harbour Trust who objected to this but the Board of Trade. j Councillor J. T. Roberts said that, the T wn Council could not get representation on the Trust by arrangement for Trustees once I elected would be Trustees for life. He felt that the Trustees, in order to keep faith w:rh the town, should go in for another Provisional I Order to provide for the representation of the Town Council. When; the Trust. was orginally created the Town Council had four representa- tives on the Trust-. j The matter then dropped.
