GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS BROTHER. SAD BATHING ACOIDENT AT PENMAENMAWR. At Penmaenmawr, on Saturday, an inquest was held before Mr Pentir Williams, the North Carnarvonshire coroner, touching the death of Cyril Orton, aged twenty-two, of Manor Park-road, Nuneaton. I Mr Hatton, chairman of the Nuneaton Board of Guardians, uncle of the deceased, deposed that his nephew, who bad just passed successfully through the Wands- worth Wesleyan College, Birmingham, and was to be ordained and take up ministry in the Wesleyan Church in a few weeks time, came for his holidays to Penmaenmawr on Thursday with his parents and brother Percy. Percy and he went to bathe early on Friday morning, the sea at the time being rough. Cyril found his brother in difficulty, and went to his assistance. In attempting to conduct his brother to land in water not beyond their depth he was overtaken by a wave and disappeared. Mr Jones, bathing van proprietor, stated that he had all his thirteen vans in use when the bathers appeared to have gone. He examined the vans, and found suits of clothes in one. That alarmed him, and on looking seawards he found two men in difficulties. He and another man rushed to their assistance, but they only rescued Percy Orton, the body of his brother being recovered twenty minutes later. Percy Orton was too ill to attend the inquest, but the Coroner advised that it was not necessary to adjourn for his evi- dence, and the jury brought in a verdict of Accidentally drowned," end expressed sincerest sympathy with the relatives.

MIRACLE OF ST. WINEFRIDE^S WELL. The large number of visitors at present staying at Holywell has been much in- terested during the past few days in the case of a visitor, Miss Mary Hanlon, of 42, Parry-street, Seacombe, who has regained her sight, after having been blind for the long period of eight years. Miss Hanlon was present at the service in the crypt of St Winefride's Well on Sunday evening, and in reply to questions stated that she became blind eight years ago as the result of a fall. She came to Holywell a week ago, and bathed daily in the well. On Thursday morning she first noticed the symptoms of returning sight, and on Saturday she was able to see persons and objects. On Sunday morning her sight had been so far regained that she stated she had been able to walk trom her lodgings (near the well) to the well and back again without assistance. On Sunday evening she took part in a big procession from the Catholic Church to the well.

BIG PILGRIMAGE FROM LIVERPOOL. A very large pilgrimage from Liver- pool visited Holywell and the famous well on Monday It was in connection with St Joseph's School, Grosvenor-road, and numbered about 1,000 persons, led by Fathers Penswick and Burke. Mass was celebrated in the orchard at the rear of the hall.

CROWNING IN OF A DISUSED PIT SHAFT. At Mynydd Isa, near Mold, a portion of ground known as the parish land," which is used by children for recreation, recently began to sink. At first there was a hole adout the size of a cricket ball, which afterwards developed into a gap in the earth about eight feet in diameter. Happily the subsidence was gradual and was per- ceived before any accident took place. It transpires that the spot is over the top of a disused pit of considerable depth.

BAD BOY GOES TO GAOL. At Rhyl, on Monday, Robert Jones, who pleaded guilty to stealing a walking stick from a tobacconist's shop, was said to bear a very bad character. He said his mother and father were dead, but Inspector Pearson knew that bis father was alive, and only recently he was charged at Chester with having stolen his father's watch. The bench fined prisoner 2s 6d and costs, but as the boy had no money he has gone to prison for fourteen days,

A NOTE FOR TO-DAY. Housewives who have accustomed them- selves to rely upon dried currants as a necessary article of daily food should avail themselves of present opportunities of' laying in & good supply of this fruit. The currants now on the market are particularly fitle, and, in spite of the enormous demands of the season, this remarkably nutritious fruit may still be had at the usual prices.

Brouerht Back to Health by DR.WILLIAMS'PINK PILLS A familiar figure some yeai n ago at Exetgr concerts was a young lady who is now the wife of Mr. J. Hooper, of Landscore-road, Exeter.

NELLIE HOOPER, of Exeter, cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. MRS. NELLIE HOOPER, of Exeter, cured by Dr. Williamt' Pink Pills. People wondered where I had disappeared to," she said, but the fact was that from my eighteenth year I had always been delicate. I grew gradually weaker, until after my marriage I was helpless and able to do little for my husband or children. My nerves were com- pletely shattered and dreadful headaches quite prostrated me. Doctors were consulted, but it seemed as though medicine was useless. I was wasting away rapidly through pernicious anaemia, without strength to dress myself. For twelve months I hardly knew what rest- ful sleep was. One day my husband said he was deter- mined that I should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People a trial. I did, and I had taken these pills only a few weeks when I felt taken these pills only a few weeks when I felt much stronger and life bad a brighter outlook. After a time I was well enough to attend to my household duties. Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills brought colour to my cheeks, my nerves became strong and my voice returned. I recommend all mothers who suffer in any way to turn to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the only medicine that ever did me any real good." i Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are J a wonderful blood-making Nerve and Muscular Tonic. They have cured Anaemia, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Skin Disorders, Neuralgia, Paralysis, and Ladies' Ailments.

r CYMMRODORION SOCIETY. WALES AND THE GARDEN CITY MOVEMENT. The opening meeting of the Cymmrod- orion Society took place on Monday evening, at the Royal Institution, under the presidency of Lord Glantawe, when Mr Aneurin Williams, chairman of the Garden City Association, opened with an interesting paper a discussion on Welsh towns as they are, and as they might be." Welsh towns, be said, had many charming characteristics, but there were many also which were smoky, dirty, and unhealthy, and were overcrowded, especially where I the working classes resided. The only real hope was the building of new houses, away from the centres of the existing towns. At present our public policy. affected not to know about the coming I growth of towns. Public authorities must lag behind, and leave enterprise and profit to private individuals. Overcrowding and its attendant evils must continue, so long as towns were allowed to grow up under the impulse of private speculation. To produce satisfactory results,, each town must have some well-thought-out plan for its develop- ment, and it must be carried out under public control and in the public interest. That such rational development was possible was no mere dream, for he could describe steps taken in this direction by public authorities in almost every civilised oountry except England. Germany, how- ever, was for this purpose far and away the most advanced country. Referring to the success which has already attended the efforts of the Garden City Associations in this country, he said that in the last five years a population of over four thousand had been added to the original four hundred inhabitants of the estate. The 4 same idea was being carried out at Warrington and other parts of the oountry. He also commended the system operating at Letchworth, by which workmen, by means of a co-operative society, were enabled to build bouses of their own. Discussing the methods by which the ideal state he had outlined might be attained, he pointed out that, first oi all, there must be the destruction of the sliimii (hear, bear). This, however. must not be before new houses were provided, and these new bouses Mlilst not be great barracks, or tene- ments, but cottages with gardens. There was room enough to house the whole of the present population of these islands in cottages, which, with a quarter of an acre each, would require less than a thirtieth of the land of the country, leaving more than twenty-nine-thirtieths for works, factories, farms, open spaces, &c., nor muse this new building be on the old haphazard and private speculative lines where old towns existed, the authorities having the right to plan out the area surrounding them, in each case insisting that a garden be pro- Tided with each workman's house. He was happy to think that in the next session of Parliament a Bill would be introduced by the Government conferring upon towns such a right of planning, but town planning could not give the best results as long as there remained the friction and cost which must necessarily result from the authorities regulating the land of unwilling private owners (applause). The towns should become the owners of new ones, over which they were destined to grow. For this purpose compulsory power would be needed for towns to purchase land at its value, as determined for the purposes of taxation, a fair value for taxation being surely a fair value for purohase. Wherever a new pit was sunk, a new works built, or a new post office opened, there was an opportunity to create a Welsh garden city. Great em- ployers and great landowners should find a pride and pleasure in such model settle- ments arising around their own works or on their own land. When such an ideal was realised he ventured to say that the majority of the people would rise to their opportunities, and show themselves worthy of better conditions. Mr Arthur J Williams, ex-member for South Glamorgan, entertained strong hope that what was beiug done in the great Continental cities would be soon under- taken and prosecuted with vigour in this country. He felt ashamed when looking out of his own house he saw the beautiful valleys filled with coal heaps. Landlords around large centres of industry had no right to exact exorbitant prices and rents for their property, and as a small landlord himself he declared that Parliament had no right to allow such a condition of things. Mr M T Morris, Carnarvon, and others took part in the discussion, daring which also Mr Llenfer Thomas, honorary secre- tary of the meetings, read a letter on the subject from Professor Geddes, of Edin- burgh University. Mr Williams was afterwards cordially thanked for this paper.

INQUEST AT RHYL. It was observed, at a Rhyl inquest, on Tuesday, that one seldom sees railings or a protecting bar to the old stone steps of farmhouse granaries, yet in the case of the death of Evan Williams, who met his death by slipping or falling from the steps at Fachell Farm, it was stated that the steps were very slippery and dangerous from the rain. The evidence was to the effect that the deceased, a man of 69, was oalled to his supper, and a few minutes afterwards his fellow-workman found him lying by one side of the granary steps, evidently having slipped or fallen from the top. The base of his skull was fractured, and he died from the effects of the fall.
