THE GILCHRIST LECTURES ATI…
THE GILCHRIST LECTURES AT I RHYL. EXPLANATORY ADDRESS BY PROFESSOR ROBERTS. RHYL'S DISCRACE. On Tuesday evening a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, under the auspices of the Rhyl Council, and the Executive Committee having in hand the organising of a series of lectures, principally for working men, in connection with the Gilchrist Trust. Mr A L Clews, J P., pre- sided, and he was supported by Professor R D Roberts, Secretary to the Gilchrist Trust; The Vicar, Mr Arthur Rowlands (Clerk), Messrs J H Ellis, P Mostyn Williams, and Mr L J Roberts (Her M jesty's Inspector of Schools). In opening the proceedings, the Chairman said he iegretted that the weather was not more favourable, as he felt sure that such a fact alone accounted for the smallness of the audience. The object of the Gilchrist Trustees was tJ develop and stimulate a deeper interest in education gen- erally. He hoped that they could look forward with interest to the five lectures which were to be iven fortnightly, commencing on January 18th. Professor Roberts then deliveaed a most interesting and instructive address, in the course of which he not only dealt with the objects and aims of the Gilchrist Trustees in providing such an admirable course of scientific lectures, but he dwelt upon many of the educational problems of the day. He gave a brief outline of the life of the late Dr Gilchrist, and pointed out that it was the lack of educational facilities which were evident in the days in which he lived which stimulated him to do all that was possible to educate the people. Scholarships in various forms had been founded by the Trustees, and in every way possible they were doing what could be called pioneer educa- tional work. One of the most successful works of the Gilchrist Trust was the delivery of a course of lectures to the working people of the country, and it was a course of scientific lectures by the most successful and best known lecturers of the day that was proposed to be given in Rhyl in the New Year. Everywhere the lecture had been re- ceived with enthusiasm, and tickets for admission had often been at a premium. The lectures in Rhyl would be delivered in the Grand Pavilion, and he hoped to see that building crowded on each occasion. The charge for the working classes would be Id each lecture, and there was no one who could not gain admission at that price if they took care to get a course-ticket. The reserved seats would be 108 and 5s for the course, but they would not be the best seats in the hall. The Gilchrist Trustees wanted the workiug classes to be able to say that they had been able to get a good seat for one penn). He felt sure that the lectures would be popular, as in several places the halls could have been filled twice over. If the Rhyl Council desired to privately arrange for such a course of lectures as were to be delivered in 4hyl in the New Year, it would cost at least £70 or £80, so that the public should realise the value of the gifts they were receiving. But the Trustees did not want the zeal and enthusiasm to stop with the last lecture. They wanted to see the work carried on in some shape or form, and higher education for adults was one of the most profitable outcomes of the lectures that could possibly follow. In some towns a public library had been founded soon after the course of lectures, and he thought that a town could not make a better investment. After hearing the able lectures that would be given the working men and others wanted to read more about the subjects, and so a public library became a necessity. The strength of a town, as well as the strength of a country, depended upon the num- ber of cultured citizens it possessed. The Chairman said he believed that the lectures would be well attended, and he cordially invited all workingmen to attend. The Vicar in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, strongly advocated the establishment of a free library at Rhyl. Mr J H Ellis seconded, and said he felt a library was sadly wanted. After the vote had been passed, Professor Roberts proposed a vote of thanks to Mr A. L. Clews for presiding. Mr L J Roberts seconded and added that he felt it was a disgrace to Rhyl that it did not possess a free library.

FLINTSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL.
FLINTSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. The quarterly meeting of the Flintshire County Council was held on Wednesday at the Town Hall, t Flint. Mr Thomas Parry presided. Vote of Condolenoe. Mr J Herbert Lewis in a very touching and feel- lug manner referred to the death of Lady Salisbury, and proposed that the Council pass [a vote of con- dolence with Lord Salisbury. Seconded by Lord Kenyon and carried. The Proposed Extension of the Sea Fishery District. Mr Hall, on the reading of the minutes, called attention to the proposed extension of the West Lancashire Sea Fishery District, and said he would urge the Council at the proper time to decline to contribute any more money to the cost of the super- vision of the sc\ fisheries. m Mr Goodman Roberts said that the General Pu £ poses Committee had decided to support the exten- sion, and Mr T W Hnghes had been appointed to attend a conference of public bodies at a meeting to be held next Friday at Liverpool. Mr W Elwy Williams said he would not favour the paying to the West Lancashire Board about £110 per annum, as the only result would be that they would get outsiders to rule their coast. Dr Humphrey Williams said the object of the extension of the fishery district was to protect the fish. He understood that already good results had accrued from the West Lancashire Fishery Board supervising the fishery off the coast. The recommendation of the General Purposes Committee was carried. The Rhyl Main Roads. Mr Lloyd Jones called the Council's attention to the fact that the Main Roads Committee had re- commended that the sum of 9200 be voted to Rhyl for the repairing and maintaining of the main roads. The Committee wanted to give the f200 without specifying the roads upon which the money should be expended. That could not be done, as the Act required the roads to be specified in the motion. The Clerk, in reply to questions, supported Mr Lloyd Jones' views. Mr R Llewelyn Jones then moved that the money be allocated to Wellington and Grange Roads. Mr F J Gamlin seconded. M r W Elwy Williams said he considered that the matter should be referred to the Rhyl Council. It would not be right to decide a matter of the kind at that meeting. He proposed an amendment to that effect. Mr Bellis seconded, and the amendment was agreed to. Prestatyn Roads. The proposal to vote the sum of f 75 to the Pres- tatyn Main Roads was also referred to the Urban District Council. The Adulteration of Food. Mr F. J. Gamlin expressed regret that the Inspectors of Food and Drugs had not during the past quarter taken any samples of bread for analysis. He considered that the county author- ities should take every care in seeing that the bread sold was of proper quality. He also hoped that samples of beer would be taken, as he felt sure that some of the beer sold in the district was not as good as it might be. The Chief Constable pointed out that it was at the suggestion of the County Analyst that the taking of samples of bread was discontinued. He would give orders for samples of bread to be taken in the future. Samples of beer were continually being taken. It was reported that durinv:the quarter 101 per cent of the supply of food and drugs taken in the county were found to be adulterated, and it was ordered that in future the names and addresses of all persons from whom samples are taken be published with the result of the analysis in each case. The Furthering of Technical Instruction. It was proposed by the Technical Instruction Committee that £100 be paid to the Holywell County School for fitting up a science lecture room and chemical and physical laboratories. Lord Kenyon moved that the matter be referred back as a new principle was being introduced. Mr F. J. Gamlin supported the claims of Holy- well, which town had showed much spirit: in technical education. When Rhyl or any other school had made the same progress as Holywell he would support it. Mr Herbert Lewis said he felt that the Inter mediate Schools should help technical instruction. He agreed with Mr Gamlin. Mr W. Elwy Williams said he would vote for the grant, but he hoped that the Local Governors at Holywell would take charge of the technical instruction, as at Rhyl. (A Voice They do.") The recommendation of the Committee was passed by a large majority. The Flintshire Charities Report. Mr Hebert Lewis stated that the Charity Com- missioners had issued their report on the charities of Flintshire. It had cost about £ 500 to hold the inquiries and publish the reports, to which the County Council had.contributed 9150. The Council had been able to get such good terms by waiting their turn and by a little consideration of ways and means. Other Couuty Councils had to bear the whole ot the expence. It was decided to supply each member of the Council and also the Clerks of District and Parish Councils with the report. Eleotion of Representatives. Mr S Perks was appointed a conservator for the River Dee, and a governor of the University College of North Wales. Mr W Elwy Williams, Mr P P Pennant, and Dr Easterby, were appointed visitors to the North Wales Counties Luuatic Asylum. Mr J Herbert Lewis, M.P., was elected to repre- sent the Council on the University Court of Wales, and in thanking the Council for the appointment, Mr Lewis gave a very satisfactory report of the progress of the University. On the motion of Mr F J Gamlin, seconded by Mr R Llewellyn Jones, the names of Dr Lloyd and Mr J P Jones, St Asaph, were struck off the list of conservators for the Clwyd and Elwy rivers, for non-attendance, and Mr J H Ellis and Mr A L Clews, Rhyl, were substituted. The other Con- servators re-elected were Dr Easterby, Mr T B Watts, Mr Robert Jones (Foryd), Mr Robert Jol- ley, Mr J L Muspratt. Mr W Elwy Williams and Mr F J Gamlin were appointed to represent the County Council on the Technical Instruction Committee. Miscellaneous Matters. Several reports and correspondence with out- side bodies were referred to various Committees, including a request from the St Asaphl(Flint) Rural District Council for an annual contribution towards the maintenance of certain highways in that district; also a letter from the Dyserth Par- ish Council as to an alleged fencroachment on the highway at Dyserth, and the failure of the St Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council to remedy the cause of complaint. Locomotives on the Highways. The Council decided to adopt bye-laws which will prevent the following roads being used for traffic by heavy locomotives between 10 a.m., and 8 p.m., during the summer months, in consequeuce of their narrowness and the nature of the extent of the traffic Road from Dyserth to Rhyl; Rhyl to St Asaph Bodelwyddan to St Asaph and from Penpalmant to Prestatyn. The Widening of the Rhuddian Road. It was reported by the Road Committee that Col. Howard had undertaken to see Capt Conwy relative to the widening of the road at Penyffordd, a difficulty having arisen as to the kind of railings to be erected. Expenditure on Main Roads. The sum of E1130 was voted to the Road Sur- veyor for repair of roads in the St Asaph and Rhuddlan districts. Rhyl had sent in a claim for Z119 15s 6d in respect to the repairing of main roads, and the sum of JE72 7s 8d had been paid on account. The remainder of the amount was order- ed to be paid. Sheep Scab Regulations. It was ordered that St Asaph Smithfield be en- tered upon the approved list of markets and fairs to which sheep can be taken. In all cases where a certificate of declaration of freedom from sheep scab is required the Board of Agriculture were re- ported to insist upon an inspection of the sheep by a veterinary inspector. Swine Fever. It was decided to refer to the General Purposes Committee for further consideration the question of asking Parliament to transfer to County Coun- cils of powers now exercised by the Board of Agriculture with respect to swine fever. Mr Herbert Lewis and the Chief Constable were appointed to wait upon the Board of Agriculture with a view to getting regulations passed directing that the expense of burying carcases washed ashore should be borne by an imperial fund, and not out of the county rates, as at present. Finance. The receipts for the past quarter amounted to 1:13102 15s, and the expenditure to £ 7035 118 4d, leaving C6067 3s Sd in hand. St Asaph Union claimed £ 1016 2s :6d, St Asaph (Flint) Council, X52 10s Rhyl Council, 945 and Prestatyn Coun- cil, il8 6s 8d. These amounts were ordered to be paid.

NEWS BY THE TAPE hiis been often utilised by a bold speculator for the speedy accnmulation of a vast fortune. Knowledge is power in every avenue of life when properly wielded. The proprietor of Holloway's Pills and Oint- ment is fully alive to this fact, and knowing their value as a cure for all diseases, he has made their merits known in all parts of the world. Commercial men who, to keep pace with the times, have always to work at high pressure should never do without a supply of these valuable medicines. They purify the blood, strengthen the stom- ach, quicken the circulation and invigorate the system. For nervous or neuralgic headache, no remedy has been found to match them in excelleuce.

At an adjourned meeting of the Special Com- mittee appointed by the Rhyl Conference, held at Wrexham, all the members were present except Mr L. J. Roberts and Mr H. R. Olley. Mr Roberts wrote as follows: I am sorry that it is quite impossible for me to come to Wrexham for to-morrow'sCommittee meeting. The draft scheme seems to me to be very well worked out and very attractive. I hope it will be made as widely known as possible, as many managers are now beginning to make better arrangements for the instruction of their pupil teachers, and this scheme seems to me to have greater merit and greater feasibility than any other." Several verbal alterations were made in the scheme, and the question as to whether a candidate who had won a county scholarship could have the scholarship set aside until,he or she submit the question to the Charity Commissioners. It was also decided to hold the next conference at Rhyl some time in January.

IRoyal Society for the Prevention…
I Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ANNUAL MEETINC OF THE RHYL AUXILIARY. On Wednesday afternoon the annual meeting of the Rhyl Auxiliary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held at the Grosvenor Hotel, the Vicar presiding. Several letters of apology for non- attendance were read. Inspector F Toyne read the report for the year, in which he gave a brief outline of the work done in connection with the Society along the coast. He s-tated that in ad- dition to a very large number of warnings 74 presons had been convicted during the year of cruelty to animals, and the fines amounted to 152 2s 101, none of which how- ever went to the Society. The tratlic at the holiday resorts as well as the fairs and markets had been carefully watched, and there was a marked improvement in the treatment of animals. The detailed list of con- victions was as follows ;-Horses, working in an unfit state, 29; beating 3; straviug, 1 donkeys, working in an unfit state, 2 beating, 2; calf ilitreating, 1 sheep, starving, 1; pigs, starving, 2 dogs illtreating. 1; cats, illtreatin, I wild birds, having in possession, 15 owners causing in above cases, 18. About H unsuccessful prose- cutions had taken place during the year. The number of convictions showed an increase of 10 on that of last year. Mr J H Ellis, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed a hope that the Society would warn people before summoning them, unless the cases were very bad. Mr Aidney (Hon. Sec.) stated that the Society was an institution which did all in its power jto prevent cruelty, and if it could secure its object without resorting to prose- cutions it did so, but there were cases in which it was often absolutely necessary to take proceedings in order to stop cruelty. Mr J H Ellis observed that he was aware that the Inspector was most careful with his cases. The report having been adopted, the Hon. Sec. read his annual report. He expressed regret that Colwyn Bay had not given much towards the expenses of the officer, but lie had reason to believe that both Llandudno and Abergele would be able to send a substantial amoui t to the huent Society, which had reason to complain that many branches did not give sufficient to pay the expenses of an officer. It was stated in a letter he had received from the Secretary that only 1:10,991 was received last year from various branches towards an expenditure of £ 20,340. He regretted that death hal removed the late chairman of the Committee (Mr T. Coxhead). During the twelve months it had been necessary to destroy five animals, and Mrs Temple Ellis had very generously sent a contribution of £10 towards the expenses in connection therewith, In all cases the Society tried suasion before coercion. He was pleased to be able to report that there were 345 subscribers in the Rhyl Branch, and he asked those who took an interest in the Society to do all that was possible to prevent the use of the tight bearing rein, the repeated stopping and restarting of heavy vehicles, the hurried driving and stopping of tradesmen's cart, also to report any cases of cruelty which came under their notice. The subscrip- tions amounted to 161. 2s 3d, an increase of X5 12s 3d on that of last year. The balance in hand at the beginning of the year was X4 11s nd, and the interest amounted to 3s 6d. It was proposed to send off X60 to the Parent Society, and there were a few small items for printing, &c., the balance to be carried forward to next year being X3 9s 3d. The year had been a record one, and he hoped that they would do better in the future than in the past. On the proposition of Mr Ellis, seconded by Mr Clews, the report was adopted, the seconder observing that it WAS most creditable to the Hon Secretary that he was able to carry on the work of the Society at such a small expenditure. == Mr A Rowlands referred to the use of the tight beari cj. rein, and it was decided to urge employers to forbid then- workmen to employ it, and to ask the Parent Society to petition Parliament to make toe use of the bearing rein illegal. Mr Joseph Williams, in moving a vote of thanks to the officer-, referred to the splendid work done. He said that Mr M A Ralli had made an excellent president, and liberally contributed to the funds of the Society The late Mr Coxhead in his capacity as chairman had also done all that was possible to further the interests of the Society, while Mr Aidney made an admirable Secretary. I Mr pI A Halli was re-electad President,! and Mr J Aidney, Hon Sec Mr R Llewellyn Jones was unani- mously elected Chairman of the Committee. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman for presiding.
WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION…
WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE DEMON- STRATION AT RHYL. PROPOSAL FROM THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS. In connetion with the first meeting of the Executive Committee of the North Wales Women's Temperance Union at Rhyl, on Friday, a public demonstration was held in the evening at the Clwyd-street Calvinistic Methodist Chapel. Mrs Jacob Jones (president of the Union) oc- cupied the chair, and in the course of her opening remarks said that the Union was formed in 1893, and since the day of small beginnings at Festiniog much work had been accomplished, and year by year progress had been steady and on the whole satisfactory. At the first annual meeting, held at Wrexham in 1893, the number of branches was 25, with a membership of 2001 At the fourth annual meeting, held at Llanidloes in 1896, the number of branches had increased to 111, and the member- ship to over 12,000.—(applause). At the last meeting, held at Blaenau Festiniog this year, the number of branches was 113, and the membership 11,000. This showed a decrease in membership in consequence of some of the large branches having become disorganised, but they hoped shortly to reform them so as to bring up the number of their membership.—(applause). The plan of work was designed to induce inebriates to become total abstainers, to form and assist bands of hope, to arouse the conscience of the Christian Church to a sense of its responsibilities in regard to temper- ance, to promote a measure to prohibit the sale of intoxicants to children, to secure the curtail- ment of the drink traffic by local veto, to support the election of temperance candidates as members of Parliament and of all public bodies, and generally to advocate purity and morality in speech, and conduct.—(applause). The Union, she was happy to say, was full of vigour and most zealous in advancing the good work it sought to a ccomplish.—(applause). Mrs Jones (Ceridwen Peris), in the course of an eloquent Welsh address, combatted the assertion that the place of woman was at home at her own fireside. The object of that Union, however, was to impress the mother with her own influence at home. The chief influence in home life was the mother. To her was committed the training of the children in the most tender and impressionable years of their lives, and they wished to enlist the interest of the mothers in order that both by ex- ample and teaching they might impress their children with the conviction that indulgence in intoxicating drinks was the great sin ot the age, and the chief obstacle to the cause of religion and morality (applause). Mrs Matthews (Amlwch) justified the active in- terference of women in the cause of temperance because of the alarming increase in intemperance among women. Lady Henry Somerset had stated that the womanhood of America was absolutely free from the crime of drunkenness. Would that they could say the same of the old country. Statistics that had been compiled recently by emi- nent physicians showed that drinking amongst women in this country was largely on the increase. Deaths among women caused directly through in- dulgence in intoxicating drinks were 125 per cent more in 1896 than in 1876. and if they had more recent statistics she was afraid that the percentage would be found to be still larger, whilst deaths from spirit drinking had increased 400 per cent. This could only be arrested by the women of the country asserting themselves, and binding together to face this appalling condition of things, and to do what they could to stem the evil caused by this general indulgence in intoxicating liquors (ap- plause). Miss Pritchard, of Birmingham, said that she felt that night that what they most needed was sympathy, because the licensed victuallers were now coming forward with the idea of doing them- selves the work which temperance reformers were seeking to accomplish, and they were thereby threatened with the deprivation of their vocation (laughter.) She had read a report of an interview with the President of the Carnavonshire and Anglesey Licensed Victuallers' Association. That gentleman gave it as his opinion that drunken- ness should be put down with a strong hand, and if the temperance party co-operated with the police and the Licensed Victuallers' Association this highly desirable object—the practical suppression ot drunkenness-ought to be attained (laughter), He further said "he would not serve any man with sufficient drink to intoxicate him, and he would in the case of a publican wilfully serving drink to a man who had had enough before fine the publican not £5, but S50 and costs, and the drunken man not 5s or 10s, but f5, and even more, and costs. He was a firm believer in heavy fines. He was prepared, on behalf of the Licensed Victual- lers' Association, to say that they would be glad to appoint a few of their number to meet simi- lar representatives of the temperance party in a conference to discuss the means whereby drunken- nest could be suppressed. He threw this out as a challenge to the temperance party" (laughter). On behalf of the temperance party she said they were prepared to take up the challenge and to go further and say that the way to suppress drunken- ness was to suppress the drink once and for ever (loud applause.) Yes, the work was to be taken out of their hands and their friends the publicans were going to do it themselves. While she did not wish to doubt their honesty she said that until the publicans could prove that human nature was something different from what it really was tem- perance workers would continue to do temperance woi-k themselves (applause.) Addresses followed from the Rev A J Parry and the Rev J Jones, Rhyl, and the proceedings term- nated with the usual votes of thanks.

Mn EADE. 27 Boyne Street, Wellington, Durham, January 12th, 1898. Dear Sir,—It affords me great pleasure in writing these few lines to inform you about your valuable pills. It is seven years since I had the rheumatic fever, and the following three years I had the rheumatic pains. Having tried sure" remedies but got no better, I heard of your pills, which I got and used, and received great benefit. These Last Three Years I have never had a Pain in regard to rheumatics. You can use my name, and also publish to the world the great power your pills have over rheumatic pains, and many I have told have got relief. They have been to me three times the value I have paid for them.—I remain, yours truly, JOHN LONGSTAFF. P.S.—I would have written you sooner, but I have given them a good test. Eade's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. The Two First Pills took the Pain Away. 2 College Park Villas, Kensal Green, London, W., May, 1891. Dear Sir,-I feel it my duty to tell you I had rheumatic gout once, and had to stop at home for three weeks. 1 cannot describe the pain I suffered. I read your advertisement, and looked upon it as all others. A brother signalman said, "Try them." I did so. The First Two Pills took the Pain Away in a few hours, and I was able to resume my work. No one need be frightened to take them. I have recommended them to all whom I have heard complaining of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, neuralgia, etc. I hope no one will doubt my statement.—Yours sincerely, Mr G. Eade. JAS. PETTENGALL.
