StAsaph Board of Guardians. FORTNIGHTLY MEETiNG. THE CHAIRMAN AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF OUTDOOR RELIEF. FRIDAY.—Present: Mr R Llewelyn Jones (chairman), Mr T Howes Roberts (vice-chair- man), Rev B Evans, and Messrs E Morgan, J.P., J Roberts-Jones, G F Gunner, Win. Jones, J.P., Hugh Williams, W II Hughes, Maurice Jones, John Evans, W Williams, T C Jones, J Pierce, J.P., John Williams, John Roberts, Robert Roberts, David Roberts, Ben- nett Jones, Thomas Hughes, Robert Parry, T Ufelyn Jonea, Mark Cross, Owen Rees, and John Morris, together with the Clerk (fr Charles Grimsloy), and the Master (Mr Robert Jones). Master's Report. According to this report the pauper popu- lation of the Workhouse that day was 121, against 122 on the corresponding date of last last year, while the number of vagrants re- lieved during the past fortnight was 210, against 115 during the corresponding period of '71 last year. A quantity of gooseberries and pears for the inmates and plants for the garden had been received from Mrs Luxmoore. Since the last meeting the children had been taken to Rhyl for sea bathing, when, as usual, Mr Vaughan granted them free of cost the use of his bathing vans, the pier proprietors admitted them to the pier free, and they were also enter- tained by the minstrels. An application for sanction to obtain 150 tons of stone for breaking by tramps was granted, as was also the request by Miss'Williams, the, industrial trainer, for a fortnight's holiday. An Inmate's Banking- Account. The Clerk reported the receipt of a cheque for f5 16s 9d from a lady in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A., to be placed to the credit of an inmate named Miriam Williams, who, he said, had now something like R30 to her credit. Bereavements. The Chairman referred to the bereavement sustained by Mr S Perks through the death of his wifa, and to the loss experienced by another colleague—Mr John Pierce—in the death of one of his children and votes of sympathy were passed to both members. Relief Statistics. The Financo Committee were to have pre- sented a report upon 'the Local Government Board Inspector's statistical statement, but Mr Gunner said they had come to the conclusion that the matter was of such great importance that they recommended that a meeting of the whole Board be called to consider it. They found, on looking through tho new blua book, that relief was increasing all round, and they thought it would be very helpful to find out the cause of thi*. Ahn; st every parish shorced an increase. Tho relief granted in Rhyl was considerably more than it used to be. He I sometimes thought the O-uardians were inclined to be rather soft-hearted, and that often the parties who had to find the money were in greater straits than those who got relief. The Chairman reminded the Board of what the Clerk said at tho last meeting, that this Union had gone down somewhat from the position it used to hold amongst other Unions in the Principality. They now stood fiftieth, as against forty-first last year. In a way it was very unfortunate, but it showed, perhaps, that they were more kind-hearted and generous than other Boards. It might not be a very bad fault, but it was one they must not cultivate. Referring to the statistics for the Abergele district, he pointed out that the population in 1891 was 5938, and the population in 1901 totalled 5740, a decroase of 198. The outdoor relief showed a decrease of £ 6, amounting to £ 1-192 in 1891 and to £ 148G for the past year. The cost per head of the population of the district worked out at os 2d. The Denbigh district had a population in 1891 of 0023, and was now credited with a population of 8934, decrease of 89 while tho relief in 1891 amounted to £2020, and last year to £ 175-1, a decrase of £ 275, which was undoubtedly credit- able so far as that district was concerned. There the relief worked out at 3s lid per head of the population. The population of the St Asaph district in 1891 was 13,97f>, and now it stood at 16,372, an increase of 2,396 while the relief in 1891 came to £ 2,616, and this year it totalled £ 3,061, an increase of £ 445. Here they had an increase of over 2,000 in the population, it was true, but whether the in- increase in relief ought to be quite as large ha was not prepared to say. The cost per head of the population for the district worked out at 3s 8Jd, 2 fd less than that for Denbigh dis- 4 9 trict and Isofd less than that for Abergele district. Taking the whole union, they had a net increase in the population of 2109 and in relief of £16!. Having regard to these figures, all he asked was that the Guardians for the Abergele district should see whether it was possible for them to reduce their outdoor relief without of course doing any injustice to any deserving persons or being in any way hard upon them. It was possible there was an explanation in connection with the figures re- lating to the Abergele district, but it was also possible there was some undeserving people getting relief. Touching upon another ques- tion, he said he was afraid they did not make the relatives of persons under their care con- tribute as much as they should do towards their support. Mr John Williams, in seconding Mr Gunner's motion, said it was full time for a thorough investigation of all the relief lists. The Chairman It is rather strange that the past year's increase of relief for tho Abergele district should amount to £144 over the relief of 1903. Mr John Pierce thought the smallpox scare they had in Abergele district some time ago ftffurded some explanation of the increase, and he also asked the Board to bear in mind that compared with the other districts the labouring class population was much greater. The motion was then agreed to. Apticsntmsnt of Organist. Two applications were received for the poat of Workhouse organist and choir trainer, rendered vacant by the removal of Mrs Hughes from St Asaph. The salary offered was £ 10 per annum, and the candidates were Mr G C Roberts, 5 Railway Terrace, Trefnant, and Miss Nellie Owen, 9 Chester Street, St Asaph. After hearing the testimonials in favour of Miss Owen, Mr Gunner proposed that she be appointed. I Mr Wm Jones seconded. Mr Bennett Jones wondered if there was an officer in the house who could undertake the duties. Mr T C Jones said it appeared not, or they would surely have applied. Mr John Williams wondered that thera wore not enough musical peoplo in St. Asaph to take up the dutio4 gratuitously, as was done by the ministers. Miss Owen having been interviewed, Mr Mark Cross said that he was prepared to move that they engage an industrial trainer who would also discharge the duties of organist, but he found no sccondcr. Miss Owen was ultimately declared unani- mously elected. The St. Asaph Cematory. Application was made by the Vicars and Churchwardens of St. Asaph for a contribution towards the cost of enlarging the cemetery, on the ground that for many years all paupers dying in the Workhouse were buried there, with the result that a large portion of the cemetery is occupied by graves of persons belonging to other parishes. The Chairman said this matter opened a very wide door, seeing that if the Board decided to make any contribution the burden of it would fall upon parishes which had their own graveyards to maintain. The Vice-Chairman said that though he did not at first approve of the action of tho Vicars and Churchwardens of St Asaph in this matter

I he was bound to admit that there was a good deal in their contention that but for what had been allowed in the past the extension of the cemetery would not have been necessary for some years. If a rate had been levied to carry out the extension the Board would have had to contribute part of it. Mr Gunner proposed and Mr John Pierco seconded that a grant of E,5 bo made. Mr T C Jones said it would be opening the door for similar applications from other parishes. Mr John Williams Is it not the rule for every pauper to be buriid in his own parish ? The Chairman Yes, now. On a division the motion was defeated, only four members supporting it. An Ir,clop3nc!8nt App!!cant.

--__-----------St Asaph (Denbigh)…
St Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. At the monthly meeting at St. Asaph last Friday, Mr Wm. Jones presiding, Mr Bailey Denton appeared to explain Mr II W Wynne's proposals as to the construction of a sewer outfall at Llanddula3, the scheme involving an outlay of about £ 2,000. It cannot be said, however, that by the end of the interview the relations between tha Council and Mr Wynne on this subject had been much, if at all, improved, but Mr Denton was promised that all he" had said should receive tho Council's full consideration. With regard to a letter from the Llanfairtal- haiarn Parish Council disapproving of the pro- posed scheme for diverting the road between Llanfair and Llansannan, and suggesting tha adoption of soran other scheme, it was resolved that the Clerk write for the views of the Aber- gclo and Llansannan Councils on the matter. Another letter was read from the same source, referring to the covering of the brook, and consideration of the same was deferred. Miss Stronge, of Trefnant, applied for repay- ment of the sum of £ 2 17B Gd expended by the isursing Committee in conn3ction with the recent diphtheria outbreak in that village. Tho money was ordeicd to be paid, The Clerk (Mr Charles G rimsley) applied for an allowance for preparing the byelaws recently adopted by the Council, and it was resolved to vote him S:12 103, A latter from tho Llanddulaa Parish Council complaining of the drain in View Road, and of the state of the hill roads in the parish after the recent rain, was referred to the two Surveyors. fc—a—a—WHWwi

Sequel to an Alleged Drinking…
Sequel to an Alleged Drinking Bout. At the Town Hall, Rhyl, on Monday, before Dr W T Girdles tone and Messrs J H Eliis and A L Clews, Harriot Caiue, alias Harriet Crosby, 33, Ernest Street, Saltney Ferry, was brought up on remand charged with having on or about August 15th stolen a quantity of clothiDg valued at El 10s, the property of Margaret Jones, back of 35 Wel- lington Road.—Evidence waa given to the effect that for a few days defendant lodgod at prosecu- trix'!) house, and after she left prosecutrix missed a number of articles of clothing, includin" her beat black skirt. These were traced to Mr Taylor's pawnshop in Wellington Road, where it was ascer- tained that the skirt was pledged by Mrs Sarah Jones, of IS Sussex Lane (who told the Bench she pledged it at defendant's request), and the other articles were pledged by defendant in the name of Edith Crosby, of Hope Place.-P.S. McWalter proved the apprehension of defendant at her parents' house at Saltney Perry oa Friday last, and said that when he spoko to her about the missing articles she replied after some hesitation that shn was very sorry for what she had done and attri- buted it to a drinking bout. Her home, he believed, was at Chester, but she was living apart from her husband.—Defendant, who pleaded guilty, said she was in drink &t time, in fact she and prosecutrix were drinking heavily together t',llt weak end; and she pawned the clothes in order to obtain railway fare.—A sistor of defendant's said she was a com- plete lunatic when in drink. Her husband was living with a prostitute at Chester, and had driven her to her present state. -Defond%nt was sentenced to 14 days' hard labour,

A. tramp giving the name of John Cox was charged with begging in Wellington Road on the previous day, and after ovidence by P.C.'s J E Hughes and Davies and Inspector Pearson he was sentenced to a week's hard labour, though he strongly denied the offence. Mary Ann Griilin, of 45 Victoria Road, who said she was 90 years old last New Year's Day, was charged with a similar offence on the Promenade on the previous day. Askod if this was true, she replied Honour bright, it is true -I)roziiejiade Inspector Hayes, who proyed the case, said ho had forgiven the old lady many times, but she only got wurso. Defendant was let off with a caution. William Williams, a Mostyn labourer, R-is charged with drunkenness and disorderly be- haviour in Crescent Road on Saturday night. P.C. Rogers proved the case, and defendant, who pleaded guilty, was fined 2s Gd and (j costs. Tha Eisteddfod Refreshment Gootlis. Mr F J Gantlin applied on behalf of Frede- rick Farndon, of the Windsor Vaults, for authority to sell intoxicants in a marquee in the Eisteddfod pavilion grounds during the Eisteddfod from 8 a.m. till 10 p.m. each day. He explained that Mr Farndon was also the caterer for the Eisteddfod tomporance tent, and would be supplying eatables as woll as drinkables ÍJr the convenience of peoplo not desiring to leave- the grounds during the meetings. A similar application was made by Mr Chad wick on behalf of the owners of the Palace Hotel, which immediately adjoins the grounds in which the Eistoddfod pavilion is erected. The Palace Hotel booth would adjoin the hotel grounds, the site of the other caterer's booth being at the oher end. Both applications were granted from Sep- tember 6th to 10th, the period allowed each day being from 10 a. m. to .10 p.m. There was no objection. Furious Driving. William Davies, general dealer, 18 Hough Lane, Lower Broughton, Manchester, failed to appear in answer to a charge of driving furiously on August 18th, but in a letter while ha denied the offence he said he would admit it, as he could not attend the court.—P.S. McWalter said defendant drove a horse and carriage along Wellington Road on the date in question at a terribly furious pace-so fast that people had to clear aside a3 quickly as they could to let him pass. It was not a case of running away at all, for defendant was holding the reins so as to show off tho horse to advantage.—A witness named Edward Williams having given corroborative evidence, a fine of £ 1, with G.3 costs, was imposed. Drunks. Margaret Roberts, 10a Back Windsor Street, was fined 2s Gd and 6s costs for drunkenness in Vale Road, P.C.- J W Evans proving the case. Thomas Hughes, Dyserth Hill, admitted being drunk on August 12, and on thoovidenca of P.C Tale he was fined 2s 6d and Gs costs. Benjamin Evans, saddler, Newmarket, was summoned by P.C. Tale for drunkenness and disorderly behaviour'at Dyserth on tho lGtli ult, and was fined 2s Gd and 6s costs, the offence being admitted. Stallholders at Vpriaric-3. Louisa Jones, 19 Park Road, Colwyn Bay, was summoned by Ellen Jones, of lOG Christie- ton Road, Chester, for an assault at the Mom Hotel on August 23rd. There was a cross- summons. Both women, it appeared, are stallholders in the Rhyl Market Hill, and on the date in question some difference arose bet- ween them. According to Ellen Jones, Louisa Jones followed her into tho Mona Hotel and struck her twice in the stomach with her fist, necessitating her having to be assisted into the kitehen. She denied provoking Louisa Jones in any way.—James Edward Smith, licensee of the Mona Hotel, said ho witnossed the assault. There was no one else in the bar at ] the time.—Louisa Jones then called a witness named Chas Watson, a hawker from Wrexham, who gave his evidence in a very amusing manner, Your worships being interjected every few words. Though he was a perfect I stranger to such places he happened to be in the Mona on the date in question—(laughter) —and heard Ellen Jones call the other woman a tally woman with a b to it," From what I he could gather this was a family affair, so he would rather not say anything more about the parties. He said Ellen Jone3 was not struck by anybody whilo in the Mona.—John Roberts, 7 Windsor Street, said he did not see anything done in the liouso at all, but outsido j Ellen Jones seb a man on to Louisa Jones with a stick.—In the case against Ellen Jones, Louisa Jones said that was not the first time she had been struck by that woman, only she had not taken proceedings against her before. She was continually annoying her by accusing her of impropriety with a gentleman at Rhyl and of living "tally" with her son.—Both cases were dismissed.

St Asaph Diocese Clergy Sustentation…
St Asaph Diocese Clergy Sustentation Fund. The annual meeting of the Committee of the Clergy Sustentation Fund of the diocose of St Asaph was held on July 26th, in the Palace, St Asaph. There were present—the Bishop in the chair; the Earl of Powis, Lord Lieuterant of Shropshire; Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart, C.B., Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire; Col Coruwallis West, Lord Lienfcenant of Denbigh- shire, S:r Robert Caycliffe, Barb Captain Griffith Boacaw*-n, Chairman of Denbighshire Quarter Sessions Mr P P Pennant, Mr W Y Hargreave?, I the Dean of St Asaph, the Archdeacons of Mont- gomery, Wrexham and St As-,ph, Canon Fletcher, I the Proctor of the Diocese, and the Socretary, Rov Walter Williams. The Hon Laurence Brodrick, President of the Diocesan Council, WAS unavoidably prevented from being present. The sum of £ 1,735 wa3 distributed in 78 grants to tho beneficed clergy of the diocese, this being the largest sum that has yet been distributed. The number of individual subscribers to this tund in the diocese shows an increase of from G57 in 1002 to 1,761 in 1903, and this encouraging result is mainly duo to the exertions of the Hon Laurence Brodrick. The St Asaph Diocesan Branch is affiliated to the Qaeen Victoria Clergy Fund, and this year the Council of the Central Fund have selected the diocese of St Aaaph with thnss of London, Win- chester, Cnesterand Manchester to receive a blook grant smaller than the quota sont up by the dioor se. Up m this point the following resolution, proposed by the Earl of Powis and seconded by Col Ciirnwallis West, was unanimously passed "That the Committee of the St Asaph Dioces3,n Clergy Sustentation Fund is extremely disap- pointed to find that in this diocest>, one of the poorest in the two provinces, the Blook Grant re- ceived this year from the Queen Victoria Clergy Fund is actually less by C31 than the quota sent up, and that the Chairman be instructed to com- municate this resolution to the Council of the Queen Victoria Clergy Fund, and to point out the very remarkable increase that has taken placo in tho number of subscribers to the Clergy Sustenta- tion Fund in the diocese of So Asaph during the last three years." -i--
Good Templars and the Eisteddfod.
Good Templars and the Eisteddfod. At a meeting of the delegates to the Valo of Clwyd District Lodge of Good Templara, repra- senting all subordinate lodges from Corwen to Colwyn Bay, on Friday, it was resolved to send to the Committee of the Rhyl National iiiateddfod a pressing appeal to recousider their decision to permit the sale of intoxicating drinks on the Eisteddfod field, for the following reasons :—(a) That the Eisteddfod is a national gathering of the Welsh people, and represents the opinion of Wales on national subjects (b) that to permit the liquor traffic to benefit by the national festival is inconsistent with the strong and ganeral protest made by all parties and creeds in Wales against ¡ the additional facilities giyen by the present I Government to the "trade"; (0) that the per- a mission to sell intoxicating liquors on the Eistedd- fod field gives the patronage of the Walsh nation to the trade, and will prove an obstruction to all temperanco reform in Wales in future and (d) that the influence of the drink traffic on the people is contrary to the purpose of the Eisteddfod, and I militates against the highest success. Oa these mounds its Diatricb Lodge strongly felt it to bo the duty of the commiitec to withdraw the contract to sell intoxicants. If this were not done, it would ba the clear duty of the people to withdraw their support from the Eisteddfod.
Wash-day Made Easy.
Wash-day Made Easy. In many homes the coppcr-fire is now never lighted. Science has come to the rescue and produced a soap—Fels-Naptha—which so loosens the dirt and grease that no boiling:or hot water is needed. It is hard to make the average housewife believe that clothes can be malIc white and ab- solutely clean without boiling. It is realised by many that boiling injures the clothes and makes them wear out quicker.
