This, plan had beeti forwarded tO the lioard'of Education, I)ut, so far, had not been returned. It was resolved that the atteiitioll of tile Nlaiiagers be directed to the fact that the provision of further ?iccoiiiniodation for 15 0111?, is not likely to meet the growing re- quirerlients of the district, and tl-iat unless the ?lan?3Lgers are prepared to provide further accom- 'nodatioll for at least 8o children, the Fducation Coly'n,ittee will have no alternative but to proceed to the e,,(ti011 of a new school to tccomniodate 150, and *I' the meantime, to relieve the existidg press, re at the N.P.

MR. MAC. NICOLL'S CANDIDATURE.—A public meeting of electors -and supporters of Mr D. Mac. Nficoll was held on Monday night in Plas Llanelian Schoolroom, the Hon.. L. A. Brodrick in the chair.

The Chairman in his opening address, drew attention to the glaring contrast existing between the present day County Council expenditure and -Liabilities and what they were only.a. few years .ago. Mr John Jones, of Diniarth, in a Welsh speech dwelt upon the procedure of the County Coun- cils in Wales in, relation to matters, of finance and elementary education, &c., and urged the electors to slend up practical business men like Mr Mac. Nieoll, whose- experience would be of service in keeping down unnecessary ,and waste- ful expenditure. Mr Mac. Nicoll, who was en- thusiastically received, then addressed the meet- ing. Several other speakers followed both in English and Welsh.

LLANDUDNO. JUSTICES AND JUSTICE.—A Correspond- ent. who writes .over the nom die plume of "In- d'iguiaint," but whose letter is too long for inser- tion in full, states :—"The Llandudno Bench has onc,e.,iiio,re given an! example of its great in- equality in meting out 'Justice' when dealing with His Majesty's subjects. A boy of 15 years, bearing the uncommon, name of Jones, who earned his living practically by the sale of news- papers, a business for which he was adapted as being zealous ain,d pushing, and naturally en- dowed) with healthy lungs, was fined at a recent Court ios. and costs for impressing upon the public what he had to vend by what that "hass" an n:sititutic)n, ".slio.uting." Altho-ughi y s zeal bad' be,-ii previous L'i,e bo lv cautioin,,ed bv ,the men in blue, there was no previous: convic- tion- against persevering Willie. Jones, and so this poor juvenile: bias to pay a shameful price for what gnat strainers- for technical offences call breaking the law, but which the general public in a great measure would call a convenience and an every-day occurrence. It may be that a packet of Woodbine cigarettes in prospect stimulated Willie's shouts; but whether so or no, is it not really about time, that Llandudno had a Stipendiary Magistrate who would dis- criminate between the. offence of a young lad vending papers, by 'shouting,' and fining him ios. and costs, and allowing a man who made his 26th .appearance and pleaded, guilty to being drunk ancK disorderly, being exempted from jail and only fined 5s. and costs?" jAPA-N,A meeting in support of mission work in Japan was. held last night (Wednesday), in the cosy mission room in Adelphi-street, so well managed and conducted by the Mrs. and Miss Lewis Lloyd, of Northfie-ld. A Japanese speaker in. the person of Mr. P. B. Nagano, ad- dressed the audience, who were highly interest- ed and instructed as to the progress of the Gospel in Japan. Mr. W. H. Verner, an old friend of the Adelphi-street mission, was also present, and spoke upon the object of the meet- ing. THE SATURDAY "POPS."—Another good "house" assembled on Saturday evening at the Towin Hall to enjoy what has now become a boon during the winter evenings, the occasion being a concert organised by the local branch of the United Order of Good Templars:, viz., the St. Tuidmo Lodge. The entertainment was bright and most enjoyable., the children's con- tributions: being of the prettiest kind. In ad- dition: to the children the following contributed to the programme.—Miss Kate Jones, Miss Florrie Robefrts Miss Mona Thomlinson. Hughes, Miss Fildes, Mr. A. Thomlinson, Mr. Garmon Jones, Mr. Robert Keelert, Miss. Row- lands, Mr. Hughes, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Swann, Miss Annie Woodall and Miss E. J. Hobson. THE ACCIDENT TO MISS THOMPSON. —We are pleased to understand: that Miss Thompson, the' respected daughter of Mr. G. R. Thompson,, newsagent, Llandudno, who met with a serious- motor accident some time ago, is making ,excellent progress towards recovery. The many inquiries made as to Miss Thomp- son's condition testify to the young lady's great and well-deserved popularity. TO LEGALISE AN ADVERTISING RATE. -Mr. R,o -iqul!red at the Liandu,dno Coun, berts ii cil if immediate 'steps were being -taken to draft out a, Bill giving urban councils the power to levy a rate for advertising. Mr. James Marks said that the drafting of the Bill was bei-ng pro- ceeded1 with, and the backers would represent all shades, of opinion in the House. The Bill will provide for the levying of not more than a penny rate, provided that a majority of the rate- payers are favourable to the idea. TEST CONCERT.In connection with the annual congregational tea party of the ReLho both Welsh Cal villistic Methodist Church, IJandudno, a "test concert" was held on Wed- nesday night last in the Town Hall. The prizes offered attracted a number of amateur vocalists, who contributed; to the entertainment of a large audience. Mrs. James Marks;, wife of the Chairman of the Council, presided, and Mr. David Ellis, Cefnmawr. adjudicated in the vocal competitions. W. E. Jones, Conway, won in the challenge solo contest, W. R.

ADVERTISING THE TOWN.—Llandudno Improvement Association 'have decided to ad- vertise the attractions of the town by distribut- ing 50,000 illustrated booklets. They will also make an important alteration in the official list of hotels: and apartments. In order to guarantee the apartments advertised in this list to be worthy of patronage, each hotel-keeper and boarding house-keeper who is willing to have the premises: visited by the Secretary is to have that consent indicated. The starring of any address., therefore,_ will be a guarantee of the cleanliness and suitability of the house for the reception, of visitors. ST. PAUL'S LITERARY SOCIETY.—At last Monday's meeting of this. society, Dr. Lawrie gave a lecture upon "Points of interest around I Llandudno," which was very interesting. The lecture was illustrated with slides under the direction of Mr. A. H. Hughes. FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.—The next development in Llandudno is, to be the laying out of a new street from Conway-road to Ox- ford road, parallel with Vaughan-street. The new street will not be a Ion: one,, but it will be the first step in the extension of the town in the direction of Llanrhos which the estate authorities have designed. Plans have been laid before the Council for the new street, to be called Argyle Road, and for some buildings, including a motor garage., to be erected on one side of it. Between the new thoroughfare and Argyle Road is Back Vaughan-street. This back road was originally set out 18ft. in width., and the Council accepted plans showing a street of that width. "But on the pans of Argyle Road being sent in they deferred them, and attempted to induce the estate to make Back Vaughan street 36ft. wide. A deputation asked leave to see Lord Mostyn in support of this proposal, but at the last Council meeting a letter from Mr. (7?. A. Humphreys, Lord Mo,styn's agent, was ?iat an iiiiter- read,, .,n which it was intimated t' view would:1 not be helpful in the matter. A width of 36ft. would- ?iio,t be allowed, but T.ord Mostyn 'as willing to meet the Council by w making the width 30ft. Unless an early de- cision was arrived at the road would be made 18ft. wide only. Mr. Robert Roberts and Mr. T. 0. Thomas, urged that the matter should, be delayed until Lord Mostyn had been interview- ed, while Mr Chantrey moved, and Mr. F. J. Sarson seconded, the acceptance of the 30ft. offer. Mr. J. M'Master declared that (there were slums enough in Llandudno already. Rather than that the Council should assent to anything less than 36ft. he would prefer that the road should be 18ft., and then another slum would be created. The slums in Llandudno were al- ready a disgrace, to an estate of the wealth and influence of that which belonged1 to Lord Mostyn. Mir. Chantrey's motion was defeated, but the clerk (Mr. A. Conolly) and the Engineer (Mr. E. P. Stephenson) both advised that the Council bad no power to refuse to accept the 30ft. plan. Mr. J. O. Thomas and Mr. W. H Jones were asked to seek an interview with L0'l1d Mostyn. At one end of thie back road is the rear entrance to the new General Post- Office, while at the other end will be situated the new petty sessions: house and police build- ings. THE NEW THEOLOGY.—On Sunday evening, at the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, the pastor, the Rev. D. Gwynfryn Jones, delivered a most imprssive, thoughtful and learned ser- mon upon the New Theology, taking for his text Acts 17-23. Seldom has Mr. Jones, who is lecturer, critic and preacher, been heard to greater advantage. THE WELSH AS A NA TION.-Atthe last meet- ing of the St. George's Debating Society, a clever paper was read upon Some characteristics of the Welsh as a Nation," bv the Rev. E. Jones before a good attendance, presided over by Mr. R. V. Gresley Jones. On March 6th, a joint debate will be held at the Church House between the members of this society, and those of Shiloh Chapel upon the question of Women's Suffrage, the latter championing the women's cause and the former assuming the negative side. CRAIGYDON WESLEYAN MISSION CHURCH.—On Tuesday last, through the usual generosity of Mrs. Mudd, Y Graig, the children of the Craigydon Wesleyan Mission Sunday school, with their parents (in all about a 100) were enter- tained to a most bountiful repast consisting of all the gooci tfi*ngs N-,?li'cli delight the hearts and so eyes of all juveniles. At seven o'clock a most interesting programme was commenced with hymn and prayer and kindly remarks by the Rev. J. Wesley Whitmore, who occupied the chair. Then followed the secretary's (Mr. John Knight) report. Solos were rendered by the Misses C. Pearson Prudence Docksey and I. Pearson piano- forte solos by Miss Faith Pugh and Mr S. L. Coveney recitation by Miss Elsie Lane; addresses by the Chairman and Miss Lucy Mudd, followed by letters of great interest from the foreign field, the Rev. Bersie Mudd, Nassau (son of the hostess), and Mr John Owen (China). An item of the pro- gramme which was most enthusiastically received by the youthful members of the audience was the dress of the native Zulu, with profuse bead orna- ments (kindly sent by the Rev. Edwin Reeves, of Johannesberg, formerly of Llandudno), displayed to advantage on the person of Master Caradoc Evans, one of the scholars. Tokens of appreciation (in the form of books and cards) of the work and labour of love done by the missionary collectors were distributed by Mrs. Fred Holland, who in a few kindly words encouraged the children to con- tinue their gfforts. The meeting was brought to a close by the passing of the usual votes of thanks. SPRING FASHIONS.—One of the first thoughtls that come .into a lady's mind upon ob- serving the little snowdrops and dainty daffodils peeping above the grass is about Spring fash- ions in milliniery, and wondering what shapes and colourings will be worn, and where she may see the earliest, best and most correct styles and Parisian modes. We are reminded by a circu- lar just to hand from Messrs. W. S. Williams & Sons, the pioneers of fashion and dress, Llan- dudno, that they are, as usual, fully prepared with all the latest creations from Paris and Lon- don, and their own artists are now busily em- ployed in eiopying and adapting the same to the requirements and tastes of their numerous clients. One of their special features is never to repeat a model. Having such a wide range for selection, and their styles being confined to themselves, they are in an unrivalled position to give their customers, a unique choice, and with the assistance of a thoroughly competent staff of designers, they are able to compete with the large- centres, and we have no doubt that our lady readers are ready to admit the duty of patronising local efforts and encourage pro- viineiail industries. Another important feature is their blouse department, in which they have attained a sound deputation for their good taste and choice. There is a selection of ideal de- signs' and' tones of coloring for the Spring sea- son., and in matters of price they hold the key of their success and popularity. TRAPPING A FOX.—Some few days ago, in the neighbourhood of the Little Orme, a fox was espied in its rambles, and it was ultimately trapped by Mr Edward Williams, farmer, at his place, after much trouble. The fox is a fine specimen of the British brown colour, and be- lieved: to be .about two years old. A DISTINGUISHED HONOUR.—The de- served popularity of the Rev. D. Gwynfryn Jones is to' be crowned with distinction, for he has been selected as one of the two special preachers who will preach at the great Preach- ing Gymanfa to be held in the London City Temple fin- the pastorate of which the Rev. R. J. Camor,211 succeeded the late Dr. Parker) on St. David's Day. It is not possible to confer a greater honour upon the respected and talented pastor (f Ebenezer Chapel. THE Y.M.C.A. SECRETARYSHIP.—The executive of this Association have appointed Mr Amos Haigh late general secretary for five years of the Banrsley Y.M.C.A., to be its secretary, and he commences his duties to-day (Friday). THE AMATEURS F. C.—On Saturday the Amateurs play their return League match .t Blaenau Festiniog, and have selected their stronlgest eleveni, which are as follows:—Goal, Jim William-s backs, Jack Lunt (captain) and Charlie Roberts; halves, Jacob Williams, Georgie Davieisi and Harold Pearson; forwards, Davey Griffiths, Alderson, Johnnie Williams, Herbert Cheetham and Brookes-Evans. Herbert Cheetham and Brookes-Evans. ROMAN MEMENTOES.-A ViEry .intereSltJing mem'Ôl1ito of the discorvery O'f Rüman coi'l1s on the Little Orme's Head on January loth, has just bean issued, by Mr Fred Holland. It takes the form of a picture postcard, taken by Mr Slater, containing an excellent reproduction of the ob- verse and reversesidies of a selection, of the Emperor Carausius's coins. Considering the state of the coins., the photo is a very good one, and we would advise our readers to secure copies of the postcards to send to their friends. Nearly all the coins have been secured by Mr Willoughby Gardner, of Deganwy, who. is going to classify and make a report upon them. Copres of the picture postcard may be obtained for one. penny at "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe." THE PIER CONCERTS.-The concerts for the next season begin on the Thursday before Good Friday. Mr W. Haigh will conduct morning and evening until Whitsuntide, when Mr A. Payne takCisp that dtUity.. Up to Whit- sun.tide the orchestra will comprise twenty-two performers and' afterwards, thirty. Mr Denbigh Cooper, Miss: Irene Aimsley, Miss Kathleen Millar, and Miss Perceval Allen will be the vocalists during the Easter holiday, and the fol- lowing have been 'engaged for the subsequent weeks0;—Miss Ida Ka'hn, Captain Oaksbott, Miss Bertha Gelder, Mr Webster Millar, and Mr Anderson Nic-ol. In the course of the sum- mer Miss Ada Cro-ssley, Madame Kirkby Lunn, Miss Edna Thornton, Madame Luisa Sobrino, Mr Denbigh Cooper, Mr Lane Wilson, Mr Lloyd Chandos, and Mr Herbert Brown wll appear. AN EXCITING FIRE.—About one o'clock on Saturday morning it was discovered that a bed- room at Kinmel Villa, Adelphi Street, Llandud- no, was on fire. The bed in the burning room was occupied by Mrs Williams., a widow, S2 years of age. Mr T. L. Mayger, of the North Western Hotel, and Mr J. Wheeler, one of die managers of the Coaching Company, whose house is close by, were called by the woman who first observed the fiTle, and they entered, the house and threw water on the burning bed in which Mrs: Williams was lying. Mr Wheeler then took the old lady and carried her down- stairs. Shortly afterwards the Fire Brigade ar- rived, and the fire was soon extinguished, though not until the bedclothiing had been par- tially destroyed and a hole had been burnt through the floor. Dr. James Craig, of Neville Crescent, at the rear of which Adelphi Street is situated, was caned: to see Mrs Williams, and he found that she had been, burnt on the arm, but her condition was not considered serious.
