Instead of looking after the interests of the Conservative candidates in that, ward, the Con- servative workero, it is said, were all engaged I in the Eastern Ward, where the contest was not regarded as being, quite so keen.

THE RECORD YEAR." SPEECH BY MB. WOTD-GBOROE. Mr Lloyd-George, president of the Board of Trade, was the principal speaker on Wesnes- day night at a meeting of the Kent Free Trade Union, at Rochester. .Mr Lloyd-George, who was enthusiastically greeted, said that last week the Tariff Re- formers had a pilgrimage to Canterbury—the shrine of many a lost cause (laughter). What he was going to do was to examine the charac- ter of "some of the Canterbury tales that were told that night (renewed! laughter). This year, for the first" time, our foreign trade, im- ports and exports, would exceed: a thousand millions. The theory that American and Ger- man tariffs were driving us out reminded him of the pendulam in one of Edgar Allan Poe's stories—circling nearer and nearer until Bri- tish trade would be cut asunder. But they must not be horrified. It was purely a night- mare. It was the result of a Tariff Reform banquet—the drinking of too b8tn wine (laughter and cheers). Ten years ago we sold of British produce 226 millions, and last year it leaped up to 329 millions. This year it ] was going to leap up to 375 millions (cheers). In ten years the wages paid by the foreigner to Britishers had increased by 75 millions a year, and yet Mr Austen Chamberlain said "Look at our trade, it is going." "Of course it is going," said .Mr Lloyd- George, "and a very good' going concern it is. (laughter and cheers). The Germans are more pushing than ourselves. When the German commercial traveller goes to Argentina he is found speaking Spanish. If he goes to China he speaks Chin-chin. But go to any part of the world, and the Englishman pushes his goods in braid Scots (loud laughter. That is an advantage Germans have got. over us, but if you thought of teaching modern languages in our day schools, you would hear people say- ing: "Good gmcious, what are these Progres- sives doing? They are increasing the rates (laughter and cheers). They are actually teach- ing workmen's sons languages My reply is It is not a luxury, but business (renewed cheers). Mr Austen Chamberlain went to Can- terbury and said Give us back the old days of high rents." Never! (cheers). "We have given the people Free Trade," said Mr Lloyd- j George," and wre wall give them free land, | (loud cheers).

THE PROPOSED EISTEDDFOD CHARTER SIR JOHN PULESTON'S VIEWS. Sir John Puleston writes:—I am doubtful as to the effect of an Eisteddfod charter, though it would be a gratifying recognition of our old institution. I am disposed to think its effect would be to interfere in some ,way or another with what is the spontaneous efforts of Welsh people who glory in its old-time characteristics, and in the success as an annual gathering. It is not possible to say that its present freedom would be in any way interfered with if under a Royal Charter, which might elevate it, and ensure greater success, but I am not at all clear about this, and a good deal of discussion is necessary before any conclusion arrived at. But I hold some strong views as some prei>ent methods, and sometimes fear, the Eistedd- fod may in some respects be losing its Welsh national character. When we proclaim oes y byd i'r iaitb Gymraeg," let W3ae:t up to it. more at our great Eisteddfod gatherings. I am not entitled to criticise, but I do not hail with satisfaction the triumph, year by year, of English1 choirs, and I think the chief competition should be among Welsh choirs. Nor do I fully appreciate having English singers at the Eisteddfod concerts. I greatly rejoiced over the success of the Eisted'dfod at Carnarvon, though in agreement with some of the views expressed there by Mr Lloyd-George and others in favour of more I Welsh. It was very gratifying to have our patriotic Lord Mayor to preside, but I regret the criticism made on his remarks advocating I English studies and speech. His lordship was quite riisiht. My advocacy of Welsh teaching in our schools involves the belief that, whilst I preserving the Welsh language, it' is easier to Welsh children to acquire the knowledge of l English essential to all, especially in the early J stages of education, when through the medium of the vernacular they will better understand h* what is taught to them. As to the question of the Royal Charter —.the fact that such a. proposal came from Lord Mostyn must command great respect, because of his constant iinberest in the Eisteddfod, and his always generous support,—my only fear is that such a charter and a Government might interfere with the patriotic fervour now shown, and that it might trammel in some ways the freedom with which the cherished: history of the Eisteddfod is associated. But I repeat it is a matter for full discussion.

CHURCH DEFENCE THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAfPH ON THE IJORDS AND THE BILL The Bishop of St. Asaph, speaking at a. meeting of the St. Asaiph Ghurdh. Defence Or- gasnieaition on iViiciay night, said that as Churchmen it was their supreme duty ito ward off from the Church all that tended to hurt or to hamper the Church in her eipiritual work [Looking at the matter as a he found ftjuat the one great historical institution which the Welsh nation possesses is the Church, just a.s the Parish Church in nearly eve. parish in Wlales is the one historical link between the past and the present, the one building around which gather the most sacred associations of town and hamlet, the one memorial of the faith a.nd piety of bygone centuries, the one structure that reveals to us in stone and painted windows that there were artists in Wales before our d*ay and generation. He ofbeerved that a distin- wished member of the Calvinistic Methodist body, in testifying to tihe contributions of his district, increased the figure from £14,000. to £ j2DL,000, by the simple process of counting three sets of figures twice over. Of couree, this was an inadvertence, buit it illustrates the evil days, upon which statistics in Wales have iallcu,

DISPUTE ABOUT AN ANNUITY SINGULAR CASE AT 'PORfTMADOa. At the Portmadoc County Court, on Thurs- j day, before his Honour Judge Wm. Evans, an action was heard in which James Williams, 31, South-pen'ralIt, Carnarvon, labourer, sued j Mary Morris, of Cefn Coch Ucba, Cwmstra- llyn, Dolbenmaen, for the payment of the sum of £ 5, beingt one year's annuity due to him under the will of his sister, Catherine Williams, late of Cefn Coch.. The action was commenced on 18th June, 1904. Mr J. Jones Monis, Blaenau Festin- iog, was for the plaintiff, and Mary Morris was represented by Mr Caer Jones. j In the course of the proceedings, Mrs Mary Morris became plaintiff, and Mr E. R. Wil- t liams, Market Stores, Carnarvon, and his two brothers and sister, were made defendants I' under third party notices. Mrs Catherine Williams, by her will, gave a moiety of a farm called Cae Shon Howell, Llannor, and all her personal estate, to her son, Griffith Williams, I' subject to the payment of an annuity of JB5 per annum to her brother, the plaintiff James Wil- liams. The annuity was regularly paid by Griffith Williams up to the time of his death in 1897. Griffith Williams by hns WIll dated May 6, 1897, devised the one undivided-half of the freehold farm called Cae Shon Howell, I with other freehold property to his wife, M&ry Williams, the property to "go to the children of his brother, (Richard, if she married a second Ii time. MaTy Williams did marry, amd the pro- perty was vested in the children. I In the course of the action: the personal estate I of Catherine Williams had not "been properly accounted for, and on December 6th, 1905, the Judge directed the Registrar to take accounts of such personal estate and on August 25th, 1906, the Registrar prepared his certificate and found that the estate of Jane Williams (de- ceased) consisted of personalty valued' at £78. and the deibts amounted to £44, leaving the net assets on the personal estate at £33. Mrs Mary Morris claimed that she was entitled, as against this sum, to a counter- claim of £36 paid by her first husband and herself to the plaintiff up to the time when the property was taken over bv defendants. After a lengthy argument by Mr Richard Roberts, solicitor," Carnarvon, on behalf of de- fendants, his Honour, in giving judgment, said that he looked) upon the principle as one of give and take, and he considered that Miss Morris had paid the annuity during the time the property was in her possession] and that the third party, defendants, liable to pay the annuity from the date on which they entered into possession. It appeared to him. that the "corpus" was personal property, and in these circumstances he gave judgment for plaintiff with costs on scale B.

I A LOST SHEEP AND ITS OWNER At the Menai Bridge County Court, on Tues- day, before his Honour Judge Moss, an action was heard in which twTo farmers contested the ownership of a sheep. The plaintiff was Hugh Roberts, Maesoglan, I/langaffo, and was repre- presented by Mr S. R. Dew, anifthe defenda.nt was Henry Jones, IBairas, Voel Ferry Llan- geinwen, for whom Mr Richard Roberts, of Carnarvon, appeared. The circumstances were somewhat unusual, it being alleged that the plaintiff traced to the defendant's land a steep which he had lost, and that 'the defendant, although his attention was caned to it, had denied plaintiff's claim to it, and had refused to deliver up the sheep. The plaintiff's case was part heard, and the hearing was adjourned to n, o Llangefni Court.

I WRECK OF A PORTMADOC SHIP THE CREW SAVED. The Carnarvon: schooner, "Snaefell," bound from Portmadoc for Middelfahrt, with a cargo of slates, went ashore at Hirtshals, near the Sca.w, on the North Danish coast, and it was at first thought that she would get, off without aesis.Dance. !Hut these hopes have been frus- trated, and it is now reported that she is full of water, and will, in a.H probability, become a total wreck, as the waves are breaking over her. The "Snaefell" left Portmadoc on October 16, and passed Beachy Head, nine days later, and when the news of the disaster was received by the owners of the vessl, was daily expected [ to arrive at (her destination. She 'was under thfl command of Captain R. Owen, of Llajv bedrog, Pwllheli, and. fortunately, he has been spved, together with the remainder of the crew. The "Snaefell" was a wooden schooner, of 89 tons '/roes, and 79 tons net register, built in 1875, by Mr Westacott, of Barnstaple, and •viia,] hv Mr R. Marks, of Glangors, Llanlbed- rog, Carnarvon.

Mr Owen Roberts seconded, and this was 03>rriMi SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. In moving the adoption of the School Man- agement Committee's report, Mr Owen Roberts said that in spite of illness in the districts, the attendances showed' an increase of 330, being equal to about two per cent., on the same period last year. Amlwch comes an easy first with a percentage of 90; Beaumaris second; Llan- gefni, third, and Holyhead, fourth. The per- centage for the whole county was 86, which was very satisfactory (hear, hear). LL AN FAIR P.O. COUNCIL 'SICHOQL. The School Management Committee reported that they had given instructions that no chil- dren be admitted to the infants' department cf the Llanfair P.G. Council School until the present number be reduced below the acoom- modation. The Architect -Mr J-eph Owen) submitted a report upon the C.,M. Schoolroom at Llan- fair" P.G., "which was suggested as a tempcr- ary room for carrying on the infant school work. He found the room to be suitable, and suggested- the expenditure of £ 25 on the pre- mises. The report was adopted, and it was decided that an application be made to the Board of Education for their approval of tihe scheme, and for permission to transfer the infants there as soon as possible. It was decided that the terms of the trustees, be accepted iafter the necessary approval had been obtained. SCHOOL REPAIRS. 'A letter was read from the Board of Educa- tion with reference to the repairs to the pro- vided schools. The Board trusted the author- ity woutd lose no time in arranging a con- ference with H.M. Inspctor and in submitting to the Board a well-considered scheme for dealing with the defective premises of the various Council schools in order of urgency. Until such a scheme had been received and ap- proved, the Board were not prepared to direct the payment of the grants, which had been suspended in the case of various schools., L/LANDYFRYDOG SCHOOL. A letter was Tead from the 'Board of Educa- tion stating that they had received a further report, from H. M. Inspector in regard to the premises of the Llandyfrydog School, from which it appeared that in order that the con- ditions of articles 18 and; 20 might be satis- fied, the damp state of the cloakroom should be remedied by repairing the roof, the unsuitable and worn-out desks occupied by the infants and the lower division should be removed, and replaced by 15 dual desks, two fireguards should be provided, and suitably-drained urinal ac- commodation be supplied. The Board pointed out that the observance of the articles named was a condition of annual grant, and unless the necessary steps are taken forthwith to re- medy the defects in the premises and furniture, it would be incumbent on the Board to con- sider whether the recognition of the school as a public elementary school could be continued. The Finance Committee recommended that Messrs. MoKillop, Thomas, and the architect be authorised to carry out certain essential repairs at the school, including the supply of IS dual desks, and that the transfer of the school be proceeded with. This was adopted'. RICHARD HU-GU&ES' SGETOX»AOR<S(HiIiP. Dr Thomas Jones -proposed the adoption of the Intermediate and Technical Committee's report. The following scheme was adopted for the future award of the Richard Hughes' Scholarship 'Fund, (available for iboys and girls resident in the parishes of iLlanfachreth, Llan- faethlu and. Llnnfwrog. (1) That two Scholar- ships of B10 each be awarded per annum on the results the entrance scholarship examin- ation for the County Schools, provided that the candidates are up to scholarship standard, and have not completed their 14th year at the date of examination. The scholarships are to be held for one year, and received' from year to year, iprovided that the headmaster s reports are thoroughly satisfactory. In the absence of a candidate of scholarship standard, when a. scholarship would be. vacant the money would be banked for future use. Dr Jones said there was IC,12 interest, avail- able, and this was to be given as foll-o-,vs:- Llewelyn Jones, f-Janfwrog, £ 8 John Roberts, Uanfaethlu, R4, payaiblo in amounts of £ 2 an- nually. The report was adopted. LOCAL MANAGERS AND THEIR WORK. Dr Thomas Jones, Amlwch, said he was verv sorry that som- of the local manager* of the schools took no interest, whatever in their work a.nd did not even attend to mark the registers. Borne schools were without, any managers at all. He thought the committee ousht to enve the local managers much more work than they had at present in order to encourage local ■people to take greater interest in the schools. This would be an advantage to the county as -well as to education. A sub-committep had. been appointed to choose these local mana-crers. but as they had done nothing, he -proposed that the resolution be rescinded, and that man- arrp-rp h" forthwith appointed bv the committee. Dr Edward* seconded, and this was carried. T}l" committee then proceeded to -revise the list of managers, and completed the work. Miss Rfthbone pave notice of motion to r*- consider the duties of local managers. APIPOTNTMENTS.

j EXCITING AFFRAY AT j GWALCHMAI ALLEGED STABBING BY AN EPILEPTIC. THE STORY OF THE THREE KNIVES. | The story of a.n exciting affray at Gwalohmai was given at the Llanerchyinedd Police Court on Tuesday, when Owen Parry, a shopkeeper, of 1, Bluebell-street, Gwalchmai, was charged with attempting to do grievous bodily harm to Bfidaard Griffith, Carregyfran, Gwalchmai. The latter did not appear in Court on account of his injuries. S'upt. Prothero stated that on Monday night, about 10.30 p.m., Owen Parry and Richard Griffith were quarrelling on the highway at Gwalchmai. They fought, and Griffith was J alleged to have been stabbed in the arm, and alivo about half an incli below the left ear. Richard Griffith noticed the blood, and rushed off to the doctor. The prisoner went to his own house, and emerged with three knives in his possession. One of those was a long butcher's knife, and two were pocket knives, and when prisoner was captured blood was found on one of the latter. After coming from this house prisoner went in the direction of the doctor's. A search was made for him by Da- vid Evans and Howell Jones, by whom evidence was given. David Evans, Bryntirion, Gwalohmai, deposed that on Monday, about midnight, he saw the prisoner near Afon y Bont, and tried to take the knives from his pocket. 'Prisoner had a stone in each hand. Witness struck him on tha arm with a short stick, then rushed at him, and threw him to the ground. Howell Jones pulled the knife produced from his 6leeve, on the right arm. They then toot two knives from his pocket and some keys. Prisoner was taken to the police Bitation, and it was found that there was blood upon the knife. Howell Jones,, a driver at tbe Gwalchmai Hotel, gave similar evidence. Parry was found, about midnight, and when asked to give up the knife he laugh ted and refused to do so. Parry said, "I know that I have gone wrong," and asked them not to be unkind to him. At the police station prisoner said he did not remember stabbing Griffith. Dr Jones, Gwalohmai, said that Griffiths had a cut under the left ear, about half an inch below it. It was 11 inches long, but not deep. Only some small veins were. cut, and he bled a little. W itne&s saw prisoner, who was an epileptic, at the police station, and found him to be excited, upset, and not knowing what he was talking about. He refused medicine, and witness injected morphia. The wound could have been caused by the knife produced. Dr Jones told the Court that the injured man was not in a fit state to attend, but could do so in a wek's time. The prisoner was not fit to be allowed free, unless he were continually watched. Supt. Prothero asked for a remand, and this was granted, prisoner to remain in custody meanwhile*

DEATH OF PRINCIPAL JOHN PRICE A WELL KNOWN EDUCATIONIST. One of the oldest and most respectable citizens of iBangor passed away on Monday night in the person of Mr John Price, ex- Principa.l of the Normal College, Bangor, which took place at his residence at Upper iiungor, soon after midnight on Tuesday morn- ing. Mr Price was 76 years of age, and had •beteii prir^c*pal of the (Normal College tffor t •'•ears. Mr tPrir" did great work in his day for the I cause-so of .liberalism, Education, and Noncon- formity. He was born at. Oswestry, but. when he was aibout six years old, his parents re- moved to [Birmingham. 'His father was the well-known and popular Calvinistic Methodist minister, Edward Price, Birniingh-a,in. Mr Price received his first education at Birming- ham, from where he went to a school in Mont- gomeryshire. Thence he entered the Calvinis- tic Methodist College at IBala, then under tho Principalship of Dr Lewis. Edwards, and at iBala he stayed for four veairs, though he did not enter the ministry. He left IBala for the [Borough-road College, where he studied for one year, and in the examination of 1853 came out at the top of the certificate list. He belaii his career as master of a British School at Llanfyllin, in Montgomeryshire. Here he made himself popular, both with the pupils and the inhabitants. In 1855 he went to Bala;, this time to take charge of a school, and here the experiences of 'Llanfyllin was re- 1)eated. He made himself very popular, and his pupils looked up to their master with Te- verence and affection. In 1858 Mr Price left Bala, to Bangor, to the Normal College, where the famous Dr {Phillips was then presiding. The present building did not then exist, the college being conducted in a house in Upper IBangor, in College-rtwi. Vi-e institution "had been opened in the vestry-room of Twrgwvn Chapei. The College progressed apace, and before very long moved to its pre- sent fine, though, by this time, inadequate home. After Dr ,1'hillipss's death, the i»< v Daniel M.A., became Principal, and Mr Price co-operated with him in making the institution worthy of the country and of its high aims and ideals. 'Mr Rowlands continued to he principal till 1891, when he resigned, and Mr Price was appointed Principal. He was an ideal principal for such an institution, a.nd during his reign the 'College did very good work, turning many teachers out who are doing good work all over the country. As befitted the work his career as principal was quiet and uneventful. Old age crept upon him slowly, and last year he came to the conclusion that he should retire. This ho Aid, and Principal Harris took up the work. Mr Price, however, continued his connection with the College, which he served so faithfully and 00 long, as warden. He wa6, however, unable to be pre- sent at the last meeting of the committee owing to failing health.. During the 47 years he was principal a very laro^e number of students wer# under his tuition. (Many of them after leaving College and teaching for some years m British and. afterwards in Board 'Schools, continued to pro- secute their studies and distinguished them- selves by gaining degrees and attaining to very high positions. Among them we may name Principal John tRhys, M.A., Ll.D., of Oxford Processor Phillips, M.A., D-Sc.^Ban- gor Principal Prys. M. A., now of Aberys- twyth Theological College, and a vast number are still teaching in the elementary -school = During his stay at Illango-r, Mr Price s in- terests were not entirely confined to academic work. He was for 30 years chairman of the .School Board, 'being the first to serve as chair- man of that body in (Bangor. this influence on education in the town was necessarily great, and always elevating. It was well known that he had strong views as a Liberal and a Noncon- formist, but he 'was so genial and so full of the milk of human kindness that he was incap- able of offending anybody, and his strongest opponents could not but agree in good' feeling to disagree with him. Like his father, he was a totaJ abstainer, and he naturally rejoiced at the intention of the present (Government to strenuously deaf next year with the dirink traffic. The Education iBill had! his warmest approval, and he could not but deeply rejoice at the prospect of its being passed into law. In like manner the appointment of the Church Commission and the intentions of the Govern- ment in regard to Disestablishment gave him much satisfaction. In all respects Mr Price was a superior character, an enlightened educa- tionist, cherishing a high ideal as to the eleva- tion of his countrvmen. At the time the School Board was first established at Bangor, there was a considerable agitation against it, and a great meeting was held on the Hirael beach. Things caime to such a pass between the two factions that there was every prospect of a free fight. Very likely this would have ensued had not Mr Price taken the reins in his hands and by his determined front and persuasive eloquence quelled the rising storm. He also took a prominent part in the memor- able municipal muddle of 1886, which was Mltimateiv <vriefi to the House of Lords. M..inv a great debate did he take part in. and his in- fiuencp was very great upon his fellow-towns- men. In a wordl, with his college work and his municipal and educatonal work, he lived a strenuous and useful life. During the stay at. 'Bangor Mr Price was a faithful member at the Twrigwyn Chapel, and at the time of his death he was the senior deacon there. He had been at pilfer of the cause, and. no man will be more greatly missed. It is no exaggeration to say that every member of the church deplores his death. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at the OIanadda Cemetery. The body will bo :J.a1õ\ to rest near at of I another great educationist, the late Mr Cad- waladr Davies.
