NATURAL HISTORY NOTE. TROUT AND WATER RAT. Mr T. J. Davies, of Bryn-y-Parc, Denbigh, writing to the "Field," relates a curious exper-' ience. "While visiti±ig Colonel Ommanney, at Chilworth, near Guildford (he says), I was fish- ing with fly in the Tillingbourne, a tributary I of the Wey, on the 22nd inst., and I landed a fine trout, weighing 21bs. 6oz., and measuring 16in. in length. I found the tail of a rat pro- truding from it.s mouth, and could see the hind le.gs at the far end of its mouth. Upon open- ing the fish I found a large water rat measuring lbin., the belly of which was partly digested."

1 DEATH OF SIR W. GRENVLILE WILLIAMS. PAINFULLY SUDDEN EVENT. l The death occurred on Sunday, with painful I suddenness, of Sir William Grenville Williams, Bart., of Bod'elwyddan. The deceased gentle- man was the brother of the Bishop of Bangor, and Provincial Grand Master of Wales of the Order of Freemasons. Death was the result of paralysis. Sir William was born in 1844. He was the eldest son of the third baronet and Henrietta, only daughter of the late Sir Watkin Williams Wynn. He succeeded his father in 1876, and eight years later married Ellinor, daughter of Mr W. H. Sitwell, of Ferney Hall, Salop. Lady WTilliams died in 1884. Sir William served in the Royal Dragoons and 1st Life Guards, and retired in 1873 with the rank of captain. He afterwards commanded a. squadron of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry. Tie was a large landowner possessing about 9400 acres. He is succeeded by his son William, born 1888. ,e

A "CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS." Cantain Atherton, wail known on the Mersey, has three lives to hia credit. On a bitter December nipht. he jumped into Garston Dock and rescued a man. He saved a boy in like cir- cumstances in the Birkenhead Float, and again risked his life for a man in the Queen's Dock. Captain Atherton speaks lightly of these deeds of heroism. A representative who called at his house, 270, Price- | street, Birken- head, states that the gallant captain has felt the effects of a hard life. Captain Atherton. Some time ago," said he, my health failed. I felt my back getting weak, and when I stooped it was agony to straighten myself again. I lost appetite, and could only sleep off and on. I had a bad cough, low spirits, and could not touch my breakfast. I saw Dr Wil- liams' pink pills mentioned in the paper, and as several friends had been cured by them I bought a box, and after taking the pills felt much better. I kept on with them three or four weeks, and was cured. The weakness in my back disappeared, and I could bend up and down without pain. My cough ceased and my appetite returned." Captain Atherton added that since his illness he had found the pills a splendid tonic. Captain Atherton's breakdown (was serious. The lum- bago and stiffness probably indicated kidney disease, and his lost appetite showed that his digestion had failed. Dr Williams' pink pills cured him because they gave him new blood. Dr Williams' pink pills are the tonic that tones. The manufacturers can refer to persons in all parts who tecommend them, not only as a tonic, but also for paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheu- matism, sciatica, and kidney disease diseases arising from impoverishment of the blood, scrofula, rickets, consumption, amemia, loss of appetite, palpitations, neuralgia, ladies' weak- nesbes, and hysteria. These pills are not a purgitive. They are sold at all medicine shops, and by Dr Wi'liama' medicine co, at two shillings and ninepenca per box, or six boxes for thirteen and nine

1 I NORTH WALES COAST I FOOTBALL LEAGUE. THE ANNUAL MEETING AT CONWAY. The annual meeting of the Council and repre- sentatives of the clubs forming the North Wales Coast League was held at Conway on M'omday afternoon, Mr R. J. Hughes (Penmaenmawr) presiding. FINANCIAL. The balance-sheet for the year showed the reoeipts. to have been JE25 4s 8d, and there re- mained in hand the sum of L3 4s Id. The Chairman said that he was delighted to see the progress of the league and an increase in the balance in hand. Mr Beach (Rhyl) proposed the adoption of the financial statement, which was carried. Messrs Price Smith and Dunn (Bangor) were eJect«l auditors. DEFAULTING CLUBS. The Secretary .(Mr Iiewelyii Hughes Port- madoo) pointed out that several of the clubs in the loarsmo liast year had failed, to pay levies due from them, and it was decided that the mat- tor be brought up again at a. later meeting for i further discussion. 0 D PORTMADOO CLUB AND ITS FIXTURES, It was stated that the Portmadoo Club had not completed its fixtures, the match between them and Llanberis not having been played. The Chairman stated tihat there was a rule which imposed a penalty of L3 on any club which did not complete its fixtures. On the motion of Mr Williams (Bangor), se- oonded by Mr Illoyd (Conway), it was decided that the levies should be strictly imposed m the future, and that the matter be left over for further consideration at the next meeting of the Council. THANKS TO THE SECRETARY. The Chairman moved, and MT Beach se- conded. a cordial vote of thanks to the secret- ary for his services, GENERAL MEETING OF THE LEAGUE. Mr R. J. Huighes presided over a general Mr R. J. Huighes presided over a general meeting of the league held subsequently, when the accounts placed before the Council were submitted and favourably commented upon. WARNING DEFAULTING CLUBS. The Chairman drew attention to the fact that it was manifestly unfair to clubs which had paid their levies for other clubs to be al- lowed to go without paying them. The Council was determined to enforce the rules in future, and tie secrCiary had been asked to acquaint tinem of any offending club. The accounts were approved of, on the mo- tion of Mr E. Lloyd Williams, seconded by Mr W. Lloyd Jones. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr T. 0. Morgan was elected president for the ensuing sea-son Mr W. LI. Jones (Llanr'wst) hon. treasurer; and Mr E. Lloyd Williams CBamor) secretary. The following were elected' members of the Executive Committee: —Messrs Henry Lloyd (Conway), G. T. Phillips (Penmaenmawr), F. J. Beach (EIivl), Henry Jones (Llanrwst), and D. Llewelyn Hughes (Portmadoc). POSTPONED. 1 Mr E. Lloyd Williams had drafted amend- ments to several rules, but their consideration was deferred. APPLICATION FROM PRESTATYN. A communication was read. from the Prestat- yn Football Club applying for admission to the league, but stating that they could not, join if Holyhead, Portmadoc, and Llanberis were in- oluded. as they could not afford to pay the railway fltre-, to those places. It was decided to accept Prestatyn Club pro- vided the conditions they had laid down became favourabte>. SUGGESTION FROM RHYL. A suJ-Teestion was received from Rhyl Foot- ball Club to divide the league, in order that clubs might not feel the heavy travelling ex- penses. The suggestion was favourably commented upon, and it was decided to consider the m'at- ter during the season.

On the landing platform they were received by Captain Roberts, the piar- master. To while away the time, pending the arrival of tihte "St. Tudno," the gentlemen; who acooonpanied the two ladiets indulged; in taking photographs. On the arrival of the steamer, Mr W. H.

This was, we believe, the third trip which th'd Princess haisi taken with these steamers.

LLANDUDNO PIER CONCERTS. Miss Margiei Bennett, late of Berlin and Paris, was the pianist at Friday evening's con- cert, and she gave a most masterly rendering of the first movement of Schumann's "Concerto in A Minor." By request Mr Frederick Siegl played the violin solo "Legende" (Wieniawski). After an absence of three years, Miss Ada Crossley made her re-appearance a.t these con- cert.s on Saturday night, and received quite an ovation. Her Ion,, and trying Australian tour Jtas not affected1 the well-known ability of this splendid oontralto. Handel's recit and aria "Ombra mai fu" (Xerxes) was her first effort, and the thundering applause that followed, and the loud! demands for a recall, testify to the immense success of her rendering. German's song "Love, the Pedlar" was her selected song in the second part of the programme, and the vast audience would' not be satisfied with any- thing less than two encores, which Miss Cross- ley very graciously consented to give. Quite unrehearsed the vocalist took Mr Siegl, who had played the obligato for her, by the hand, and led him to the front of the platform to acknow- ledge the warm plaudits of the audience. Madame Sadler-Fogg, who is the vocalist for the week, sang "Robertq" (Meyerbeer) and "Ritornello" (Clutsam), and was re-called on each occasion. The instrumental selections included Elgar's grand march "Pomp and Cir- cumstance;" the overture "Rienzi" (Wagner) the symphonic poem "Dianse Macabre" (St. Saens) the selection "Robert Bruce" (Bon- niseau) the fantasia pastorale "A Village Wed- ding" (Gasser) Czardas (Keler Bela). "Life's thanksgiving" (Mendelssohn) and "The Gift of Peace" (Fogg) were the selections of Mad:ame Sadler-Fogg for Sunday evening's sa.cred concert. Mr Payne gave ai oapital rend'ering of a violin solo composed by Mr G. E. Stutelv, and entitl-edl "Romance." The composer condlucte.dl the orchestra to the accom- paniment, which was magnificent. Mr*J. H. Fonldes, also, gave a good rendering of the violoncello in Dunkler's reverie "Au Bord de It -NI, i r. Mr Leslie Harris, who is the humorist for the week, made his appearance on Mondav evening, and quite charmed the audience in his humorous sketches. humorous sketches. The features of the programme of Tuesdav "lv evening was the pianoforte solo "Capriccio Bril- lante" (Mendelssohn), by Mr George Atkinson. who was accompanied; by the orchestra-, as well as tb," harp solo so beautifully rendered by Mr Harold Jarvis, who plaved a. selection of "Welsh Airs" ai-ranled, by himself. Mr Walter Haigh. by reouest, rendered Handel's "Largo in G" at Wednesday even- ing's concert. I Madame Kirkby Lunn.

_p->- LIFE ON BOARD THE "RHOS-COLWYN THE STEWARDESS SUES THE CAPTAIN FOR WAGES. H. Kneeshaw, Esq., was the presiding magi- strate at the Coiwyn Bay Police Court on Satur- day, when Florence R^nsford, of the "Rhos-Colwyn/' summoned: Captain Walter Hawthorn, master, to recover £ 3 14s, balance of wages due from July 9th to August 13ih, under section 164 of tne Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. He was also charged on two in- formations with failing oil August 13th, with- out reasonable cause, to deliver to the said J Florence Ransford before discharging her a full j and true account of the wages, in the manner provided by seotion 134 of the Act, and also I with failing at the same time to give lier her discharge. All three cases were taken togetiier. Captain Hawthorn was represented by Mr J. Amphlett, while Mr Bliss Hill appeared for j Mrs Ransford. I Mr Bliss Hill stated that until Saturday, j August 13th, the complainant was engaged on j [board the "Rhos-Colwyn," a pleasure boat j nominally owned by the Liverpool and Coiwyn I Bay Steamship Company, but actually owned by Mr William Horton, who lived at let place originally oalled: Llandrillo-yn-rhos, but which Mr Horton had christened Rhos-on-Sea. On that date MTS Hansford summoned seaman for assault, and the defendant was fined by the Bench. Two days previous to the hearing a message was brought to her from Mr Horton that if she persisted in going on with the case she would be immediately discharged. She did go on, and after the trial she returned to the I steamer, which went on a trip up the Menai Straits. When the steamer had returned to Rhos, the purser, Merrick, said that she was I dismissed, and that the captain and Mr Horton desired her to leave the ship at once. The poor woman, who came from London, was stranded at Rhos, without money, and without any cer- tificate of discharge. Mrs Ransford said her wages on the steamer were 15s per week, and four weeks' wages were due to her, less a shilling which had been paid to her. Last year she received 10s a week. No discharges were given last year, and they did not "sign on" last year until a man was lost. She w?s asked1 to sign the register this year, but she understood it was to make thirgs right for last year. Merrick said to her "The cap- tain has given orders that you are to go off the 91 11 boat at once, both he and- Mr Horton, because you did not withdraw your summons." "Who is going to pa £ my wages?" she asked. "I have no money." She xefused to sign her discharge, and; Merrick turned round and said, "You have done quite right; sue them for it." He took the key of the cloakroom from her and left her to put her luggage on the pier. No account of her wages wsa. submitted to her and no dis- charge was given to her. On the previous Thursday Merrick had come to he: fnd said if she did not withdraw the cummons she would, be dismissed on the spot. I Mr Amphlett, for the d fence, put in the ship's articles, which showed that Mrs Ransford was engaged just before Whitsuntide at 15s fIo week, but she signedi off on July 1st, and was re-engaged at Is a week. This was because on ,a, that date Mr Oddy took over the catering under contract with the Steamboat Company, and he had charge of and paid all the stewards and stewardesses. The nominal wages of Is a week were enteied in the irgister merely to satisfy the conditions of the Merchant Shipping Act. Mrs Ransford was therefore only entitled to Is a week from the captain, and he had the right, if he desired, to claim from her the cost of maintenance. If there were any wages due to her she should look to Mr Oddy. Captain Hawthorn afterwards gave evidence. The Chairman said the case had' been a very difficult one, but the Bench had decided that Captain Hawthorn was liable to pay £ 3 14s. They made an order to tha,t effect, with costs, including an advocate's fee of a guinea. The other two oases were dismissed.

BETTWSYCOED URBAN COUNCIL. I The monthly meeting was held on Friday evening, under the presidency- of Mr Robert I Parry, J.P., chemist. The other members pre- sent were Mr Thomas Griffith (vice-dhairman), | Dr Douglas Maodonogh, Messrs Edward Pullan, H. B. Corus?, John Hughes, David Jones, Henry Roberts, R. Rawlinson, WTm. Williams, R. R. Owen (clerk), and John Roberts (insp«ctor). MOTOR CAR'S—The Paths and Highways Committee recommended that. an appeal be made to the Carnarvonshire County Council to frame bye-laws regulating the speed of motor cars through towns and villages, and suggesting that they should .be confined to eight miles an hour. —-The Chairman said that the County Council was the authority to move in the matter, and they must act through them.—The Clerk The minimum speed under the Act is ten miles an hour-—Mr Corus Yes but I believe it is meant to apply t'o main roads and not the streets of the town. We ought to go in for as low a speed I through the villages as possible.—-Mr Henry Roberts said that a speed of six miles an hour I through the village TO quite sufficient. He moved that they ask the County Council to make a bve-law to that effect.'—Mr Jno. Hughes, in seconding, said that it would be qu'te enough. Motor cars raised dust which went to people's houses.-—Mr Thomas Griffith said I that they would be showing great ignorance if they asked for less minimum speed than that pro- vided by the Act.—Mr Corus moved that they ask for a speed of eight miles an hour.—Dr I Macdonogh, in seconding, said that it would be a reasonable speed.—Four votes were cast < for and four against the amendment. The ¡ Chairman gave his casting vote in favour of < the committee's recommendation. HAVE THEY POWER ?-Tne Clerk vras in- structed to ascertain whether the Council had HAVE THEY POWER?—Tne Clerk vras in- structed to ascertain whether the Council had power to compel the London and North Western Railway Company to repair the road from the town to the old Church. THE STEPPING STONES.—On the motion town to the old Church. THE STEPPING STONES.—On the motion of Mr David Jones, seconded by Dr Macdonogh, it was decided to ask the Chairman and the Chairman of the Parish Council to meet Mr P. Molntyre (agent to Lord Aneaster) and Mr Bovil (agent to the Voelas estate), with a view of asking the authorities of the two estates to repair the stepping stones. PENMACHNO, CORWEN, AND BETTWS- YCOE'D LIGHT RAILWAY.—A letter was read from the Light. Railway Commissioners stating that they had decided to recommend the Board df Trade to, grant a Provisional Order for the construction of the above. SNOW DON AND 'BETTWSYCOED LIGHT RAILWAY.—The Light Railway Commission- ers wrote informing tne Council that taey had submitted to the Board of Trade the form of the Provisional Order for the construction of the above. But with reference to the Council's letter of the 17th June they did not think it was reasonable to require that the tunnel near the Miner's Bridge should be extended, as proposed by the District Council. It appeared that the tunnel could not be extended with- out taking the alignment of the railway outside the limits of the deviation, and even it pracne- able the Commissioners did not consider tihat the advantage would be reasonable proportion- ate to the probable cost. With regard to the position of the passenger station near the Swal- low Falls, the clause had been amended,'and a provision added to the effect that no extra buildings should be erected except with the consent of the Council, and the owners ,-)f tne adioinin"- land. But the Commissioners tnought that it would be unreasonable in the public interest to insert any specific instruction against taking up or setting down passengers. The Commissioners had inserted a clause in ac- cordance with the suggestion of the Council to prevent any encroachment upon the river Llug- wy. With regard to the suggestion that Sun- day traffic should be prohibited, the Commis- sioners were not satisfied that a prohibition of that unusual character should be contained in the Oroer.-A communication was also read from the National Trust stating that as the protection to time scenery of the district was not of an adequate character, thev intended opposing the granting of the Provisional Order before the Board of Trade, and asking the Council to do likewise.—Mr Henry Roberts moved, and Dr Maodonogh seconded, that the Council again press the Board of Trade to grant more effective protective clauses for the district, and it was passed.

THE INCREASING PREFER- ENCE FOR VI-COCOA. I The reason for this is simple. In the fierce struggle for existence, both in- dividual and national, the intelligent selection of diet is, even now, playing a decisive part, and the final victory will inevitably go to those who succeed best in maintaining "a sound mind in a sound body." As a rule the British Public have not been very discriminating in this matter, but hygienic education has been making great strides in re- cent years, and the marked and rapidly increas- ing preference shown for Dr Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, is a striking proof of intelligent discrimination on the part of the public, and, at the same time, a guarantee for the future health and vitality of the race. You must have read the striking testimony that is being published daily respecting too merits of Vi-Cocoa. And yet you have not tried I it. We advise you to do so at once. D'r Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa can be obtained, in 6d packets, and 9d and Is 6d tins, from all grocers and stores; or the Proprietors will send you free a dainty sample tin upon receipt of a post card to 60, Bunhill Row, London, E.C., asking thean to do so.
