The Weekly News and Visitors' Chronicle for Colwyn Bay Colwyn Llandrillo Conway Deganwy and Neighbourhood

Week by Week. J Promotion to Cabinet rank has not induced 'Mr. Lloyd-George, the President of the Board of Trade, to take his. children away from the -schools which they attended in the Opposition days. His boy Richard is .still a pupil at the Portmadoc Intermediate School in Carnarvon- shire, and the eldest girl Mair Eiluned Lloyd- George, is making splendid progress at the Clap- ham High School. Although Mr. Lloyd-George himself attends, a Baptist church, the children go with their mother to a Welsh Presbyterian chapel. It is somewhat of a coincidence that the for- mer and the present Vicar of St. Mary's, CaTdliff, should hail from the Vale of Clwyd. The late "Father" Jones belonged to the parish of Llan- gynh, on the eastern side of the vale, whilst his successor, the Rev. Gilbert Heaton, was born at Plas Heaton, Henlian, which lies on the wes- tern side, and which forms a part of the town and borough, both municipal and Parliament- ary, of Denbigh. ColwynBay people, like human nature in gen- eral, have their likes and dislikes, but in one re- spect they are peculiar. Their hero is a kind of man who would be. kicked out of any other town. In other places, the most popular resident is a man inspired by noble1 motives, a man oLbroad and' charitable views:, a man who delights to labour for the public good. But at Colwyn Bay it is not so. The citizens of that town reserve their applause and admira- tion for a quite different type of individual. Here are the: distinguishing characteristics of their ideal. He is a man, in the first place, who has not achieved any very brilliant success in his own private affairs, and, who has never de- voted a moment'si effort, to the service of the public. He must grumble at everything done by everybody else, and especially must he criticise the doings of the District Council. Does his countenance beam with good-will to all men? On the contrary, one would suppose, from the vinegar expression, of his face, that he had been reared on sour milk. Nothing done by any one else is righti and he is the sole judge of policy and' method. And when he tthundiers forth his denunciations, the Councillors turn pale and tremble. These be thy gods, 0 Israel! We are getting an. It is at last seriously sug- gested' that the English language should be taught in the schools of England. "Street untidiness" is an evil with which the Manchester City Council (has decided to grapple. The example of Mancunia might well be follow- ed in places nearer home. « » Quarrymen, clerks, hotel keepers, gardeners, caterers, drapers, and grocers are included in the applicants for the post of master of the Bangor Workhouse, and on Friday the number was re- duced to four by the Guardians. We have the, authority of the "Daily Mail" for stating that the ordinary summer visitors having departed, the residents of Llanfairfechan are now greatly troubled by a visitation of wasps, who are making things very uncomfortable, es- pecially in, the shops. Although Lord Willoughby de Eresby may re- gret that, at least, his, first born was a daughter, not a son, he need not fear for the life of his present title, even if he have no other children. The ancient barony of Willoughby de Eresby is a barony by writ, and can therefore descend through the female as well as through the male line. Hence, the little lady newly arrived would be preferred in succession to her father's brother. » It is reported that an inmate of a Welsh hos- pital, while eating an egg supplied for his break- fast, found a sixpenny-piece embedded in. the yolk. We have heard of the goose that laid the golden, eggs, but this is the first occasion we have, heard of a hen. laying a silvern one. A sad! story is told! of .a young man who took his newly-acquired fiancee to a Church near St. Helens the other day. When the bag was brought round he ostentatiously displayed a gold coin. The young lady remonstrated! in whispers, "Don't be extravagant, George." "Oh, that's nothing," he replied, "I always give a sovereign when I go to a strange church." When the usual notices were given out they concluded: with the wholly unexpected announcement of the day's collection. "The collection to-day," said the minister, "was 15s. 6d." The engagement is broken off. If the month on which we have just entered lives up to its reputation of recent years (says the "Liverpool Post"), it should certainly be a fine one. Only one October has, been wet since 1894. The sun, however, is now above the hori- zon for less than twelve hours, while the average duration for the month works out a little more than three hours a day. The records show that occasionally the thermometer has registered 70 degrees in October. Indeed, in 1857 the reading in the shade at Greenwich rose to 81 degrees on the; 4th of the month. That is a curious, experience we all have had when two people meet on the pavement and begin to dodge from one sidle to the other, at- tempting to pass, and yet keeping up a kind 01 mutual aberration for an indefinite period. A gentleman met a Liverpool basket girl the other day, andl both began fhe same caged-animal movements, first to one side of the pavement, then to the other. After about half-a-dozen side movements:, the girl stood still facing him, and said, "'Urry up, mate! What's it goin' to be, a waltz or a polka?" Mrs. Thomas Johnson Smith was being mar- ried for the fourth time in the little country church in which she had been raised. The cere- mony was proceeding with all solemnity until the minister reached the point, "Who gives this woman to this man to be his wife?" and a voic'e away back in the congregation replied, "I gener- ally do." « "Young- man," said the old lady with eye- glasses, in th'e chemist's, "be you a regular clerk here?" "Yes, ma'am I'm a regular clerk." "Be you registered?" "Yes, ma'am." "Know all about putting up prescriptions?" "Yes, ma'am." "Never made no mistakes?" "No, ma'am." "Well, I guess I'll trust you. Gimme two- penn'orth of camphor."

LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG. [Lemurs and small bears will probably be the most popular ladies' pets during the forthcom- ing season, says the "Morning Leader."] C'larisso, when I begged of you Through wedded life with me to jog, You merely owned) a cockatoo, A kitten, and a collie dog; Nor did this neat assortment seem To be in any way extreme. I was not jealous when you kissed These objects of your tender care, But, now you've addled to the list A lemur and a baby bear, I cannot help but feel perplexed! And vaguely ask myself, "What next?" It looks as though, if you go on In this accumulative style, You'll shortly own a mastodon And, possibly, a crocodile; And I may see you very sooni Proprietress of a baboon. Now, though 'twould cause me deep distress To think -our marriage e'en postponed, I do not happen to possess. The sort of soul that Barnum owned: Though full of loyal love for vou, I'm not prepared to love a Zoo M: T. P. —(In "The Tribune.") ■* Jones had come home about two in the morn- ing rather exhausted. As soon as he opened the door his wife began upbraiding him for his con- duct. Jones went to bed, and when he was almost asleep could hear her scolding him un- mercifully. He dropped off to sleep and awoke after a couple of hours, only to hear his wife remark "I hope all the women don't have to put up with such conduct as this." "Annie," said Jones, "are you talking again or yet?"

Antiquity of the Welsh Church. WHAT OF THE FUTURE? The Dean of Bangor delivered an eloquent address on "The Antiquity of the Church in Wales," at a well-attended public meeting, held on Thursday night, at Pwllheli, in connection with the Diocesan Conference. The Dean said that they met as members of the old Church of the Cymry, which was still a living and an active Church, fulfilling its duties to the people. Dwelling upon what the Church had been in that part of the country, he said the dedi- cation of the ancient parish church of St. Deiniol took them back in time nearly fourteen hundred years. It was an inspiring truth that in that very parish, where they met that day in con- ference, the Church of which they were members had never for fourteen hundred years ceased to bear its witness to Christ and His truth. The parish churches which had been built, rebuilt, and rebuilt again, which had been restored and re- novated, bore testimony that the good work had been continuous. Dean Vaughan used to say that the great question for Churi hpeople was not whet her the Church was ancient, but whether it was also modern. They must, therefore, ask, Is there a future before this great Church of ours?" They were about to look back with thankfulness over 1,400 years. Could they look forward to 14 centuries to come with hope and confidence? He finally believed that they could. Haviug within it the spirit of the living thing which had kept it in vigorous life through many a cold and stormy winter in the past, there could be no doubt that if its adherents remained faithful, the old Church of this country would renew its strength as the eagle, and continue to bear the nation to heaven on its spreading wings. To ensure this they had their own part to per- form. They must rise to their responsibility, and seize their opportunity. They must have stronger faith in the Church, there must be more hearty co-operation of the clergy and the laity, and a greater effort after holiness.
