Rhyl Petty Sessions. I TUESDAY .—Before Dr W T Girdlestone (in the chair), and Messrs S Perks, W Elwy Williams, R C Enyon, W Bulcock, A L Clews, and G A Taverner. The Late Mrs Parks. At the opening of the court the Chairman referred to the death of the wife of their col- league Mr Perks, and said he felt sure that all who had known Mrs Perks would feel very great sympathy with Mr Perks in his bereave- ment.—Mr Elwy Williams also added his tribute to the memory of the deceased lady, and Mr F J Gamliu, as the senior advocate prac- tising in the court, expressed similar sentiments on behalf of himself and his brother profes- sionals.—These remarks were suitably acknow- ledged by Mr Perks. A Candidate for the Black List. Selina Jones, of 52 Victoria Road, was charged with being incapably drunk in Vaughan Street on September 24th.—P.C. 11 0 Wil- liams proved the case, and in defendant's absence her husband pleaded guilty.-Illspc- tor Pearson stated that the woman had been previously convicted and had also been charged with attempting to commit suicide.—A fine of 5a and costs was imposed, the Chairman re- marking that defendant would very likely be black-listed if sho was charged with a similar offence again.—Defendant's husband Hear, hear Case withdrawn. In a case in which Elizabeth Jones, a married woman living at 4 Gas Street, was summoned for assaulting Mary Hughes, spinster, 10 Gas Street, tho complainant asked that the ease might be withdrawn.—The Chairman On what ground? Have you made it up?—Ap- plicant She paid me 6s yesterday.—The Chairman What was that for ?—Ap- plicant Oh, in connection with the summons. —Inspector Pearson said in that case complain- ant had received Is 6d more than the summons cost.—Mr Elwy Williams Does that cover the damage ? (laughter).—Inspector Pearson was asked if he knew anything about the case, and on getting a negative reply the Bench granted the application. Lioonsea Haaviiy Fined for Permitting Drunkonnesa. Sarah Brookes, licensee of the Prince of Wales Inn, Vale Road, was summoned by P. S. McWalter for selling stout to a drunken person, also for permitting drunkenness on licensed premises, on Sept. 9ch. Mr J Roberts Jones appeared for the prosecution, and on behalf of defendant Mr F J Gamlin at the outsat pleaded not guilty.—The charge of permitting drunkenness was gone into first, and in outlining the case, Mr Jones said that on the date in question P. S. McWalter, accompanied by P.C. Owen Jones, of Blaenau Festiniog, visited the Prince of Wales shortly after nine o'clock in the morning. There they found a man named Joseph Hunt standing against the counter in a very drunken state. Before him was a glass three-quarters full of stout, from which he drank in the presence of the policemen. On leaving the premises the man became very disorderly, and the policemen were obliged to lock him up, and the next day he pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness and disorderly behaviour and was fined.-P.S. Mc Walter, in his evidence, said that when he called de- fendant's attention to Hunt's drunken state she replied I did not think he was too drunk to be served so early in the morning." Replying to Mr Gamlin, witness said he did not see defendant servo the maii.-P.C. Owen Jones described the condition of Hunt as staggering drunk. The advocate for the prosecution having intimated that he was going to call an independent witness named George White and Supt Jones, Mr Gamlin said he might as well shorten the case by withdrawing the plea of not guilty and entering one of guilty, as against all that evidence he had only that of three inter- ested persons to rely on. his client, her husband, and the servant girl. He would like, however, to explain the circumstances under which Hunt obtained drink at the Prince of Wales on that occasion. Since the house had been under the supervision of Mr and Mrs Brookes it had been conducted in a most respeotable manner, and bearing in mind the locality he was sure the Bench would recog- nise that the satisfactory conduct of such a house was a difficult task. On the occa- sion under notice Hunt came in while Mr and Mrs Brookes were having break- fast, and he was served by a girl named Beatrice Shaw, who only attended to the bar during the timo Mr and Mrs Brookes were hav- ing breakfast, and had, moreover, only been employed there two or three months. Unfortu- nately she did not display that discrimination which her master and mistress would have shown in such a case as this, and the result was the licensee had to boar the consequences. He appealed to the Bench to be lenient under the circumstances, especially now that every licence was automatically endorsed whenever a convic- tion was obtained against the licensee.— Beatrice Shaw was called by the Bench an said she had never been in similar employment before. Hunt was at the counter before she saw him. She knew the man was fond of drink, but did not think it was possi- ble that he could be drunk so early in the morning.—Mr Gamlin They have frightful capacities down Vale Rd (laughter).— The Chairman, in giving the decision of the Bench, said that the permitting of drunkenness on licensed premises was so serious a matter, and so many people were allowed to have beer while under the influence of drink, that a majority of the magistrates had come to the couclusion that it was no good to fine a person mildly, and that the in- fliction of a heavy fine was the best warning in such a case. Defendant would be fined Rb and costs, 92 9s 3d.—On the application of Superintendent Jones the charge of selling stout to a drunken person was withdrawn and the costs remitted.

.-Lid Pretty Wedding at Dyserth. 11 The Parish Church of Dyserth was on Satur- j day last the scene of a pretty wedding, and one £ that aroused an unusual amount of interest in f the district. The contracting parties were Mr Bertram Whittingham, of Birkenhead, and Miss Gwen Harris, only daughter of Mr and 1 Mríi George Harris, of Bodrhyddan Gardens. The brido has taken an active interest in Church work for some time, holding amoi-igst other posts that of a Sunday School teacher and proof of her popularity and the great respect entertained for her was manifested by the phasing floral decorations (the voluntary work of parishioners) which the bridal party beheld on reaohing tho church, as well as by the largo congregation assembled within its walls. The service was conducted by the Rev T W Vaughan, vicar of Rhuddlan, assisted by the Rev J L j Williams, curate of Dyserth, while Mr Thomas, schoolmaster, Dyserth,' presided at the organ, The bride, who was given away by her father, was gracefully attired in a costume of ivory cloth trimmed with silk, lace and silver, and wore a picture hat of ivory tulle. She carried a charm- ing shower bouquet of roses, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids—Miss Whitting- ham (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss I Wheeldon (Rhyl)—wore brown cloth costumes trimmed with ivory velvet, and bats of cream | tuile, and carried bouquets of roses, presented t i mL -i ♦ />■, by the bridegroom. ine duties or best man were discharged by Mr James Harris, brother } of the brido. At the conclusion of the ceremony many members of the congregation took the opportunity of personally congratulating the < newly married couple and wishing them a bright and prosperous future. Several friends were subsequently entertained to breakfast at Bod- rhyddan Gardens by the bride's parents. Amongst other3 present in addition to those already named were Mrs Whittingham (mother 1 of the bridegroom), Messrs John, William, Thomas and George Harris (brothers of the bride), Mr and Mrs W Whittingham, Miss Roberts (Denbigh), and Mr and Mr3 Thomas (Schoolhouse, Dj'serth). The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Rev T W Vaughan, and after short speeches by other guests the bridegroom responded. On takingtheir departure for the honeymoon, which was spent at Bettws-y-Coed, the young couple were accorded an enthusiastic send-off. Mrs Whittingham's travelling dress consisted of blue cloth trimmed with blue velvet and cream cloth, with a hat to match. The presents numbered close upon 150 and formed a very valuable col- lection. An interesting item in connection with the gathering that the wedding brought about was the fact that it was tho first time for 18 years that the bride's five brothers had met together under the parental roof. Mr Hauis, senr., has been gardener of the Bodrhyddan estate for the past 40 years, and the whole family is held in great respect throughout the district.

Football. Of the matches in the Football League First Division on Saturday that between Manchester City and Sheffield United was drawn, 1-1, while the Stoke v Notts County game was won by the latter by 2 0. In the other saven matches the home side proved successful in each C'lse. Eyertcn beat Preston North End 1-0. Notts Forest trium- phed over Blackburn Rovers 5 2, Sunderland defeated Bury 2-1, Small Heath won tha game with Newcastle United by a similar score. Ddrby County gained a victory over Middlesbrough 4-2, Aston Villa lost to Sheffield Wednesday 3-2, and Wolverhampton Wanderers succumbed to Wool- wich Arsenal 2-0. In the Second Division Liver- pool beat Lincoln City at Lincoln 2 0. In the Combination Rhyl entertained Whit- church, who have just entered on their first season in ths organisation, and a disappointing game re- sulted in the defeat of tho scasiders by 3 goals to 0. After the telling stand made by Bangor on the previous Saturday against Chirk, it was not un- rrasonable to anticipate that the citizens would also triumph over Broughton United, but once agf in the glorious uncertainty of the" sacker" t od 3 was in evidence, for the visitors won by 3 goals to 2. The doservedness of Broughton's victory is indisputable. Another Combination surprise was the defeat of Birkenhead by Port Sunlight, on the former club's ground, by 3 goab to 1. At Nautwich, Tranmere won by 2 to 1. Though playing away from home, Wrexham proved much too good for 03westry, whom they beat by 3 to 1; while Chester, also away from home, were victorious over Chirk by 6 to 3 and at Mddlewich the Druids, after a rather rough encounter, suffered defeat to the extent of 3 goals to nil.

It was also the first Combination match in the history of the Whitehurch Club, and though the new comers were not by any means to b despised it was generally thought that the home- sters would more than hold their own. The result was, however, a surprising win for Whitchurch by 3 goals to nil, attributable in a measure to the ill luck of the homesters, but more largely to their want of training. # In the first half Rhyl had slightly the best of matters, but a hck of combination led to several good openings being wasted. The defence of the visitors was, however, the steadier, and one of their first successes was the clearing cf a penalty kick which had been entrusted to Rowland- Thomas. Then a well-got goal was disallowed the homsters for a barely apparent breach of the off-eide rulo, Thirty minutes from the start' Ogilvie was penalised for an act which we can hardly think he deliberately meant, and thus Henschel opened the score for the visitors. Just before the interval a particularly good attempt to score was made by Rowland-Thomas, but it proved abortive, and half-time arrived with the score Whitchurch I, Rhyl 0. Henschel scored again for the visitors soon after the resumption of hostilities, through a slip by Ogilvie. A ding-dong bout of play followed, in the lourse of which Coppack failed miserably when a :Iorious chance presented itself, while a little ater on R J Jt-nes nearly let in the visitors again ihrough falling while fisting out a hot shot from ,he right wing. Closa upon time the visitors were kwarded another penalty kick and Henschel scored igain. Final Whitchurch 3, Rhyl 0. ° It is a disastrous start for Rhyl, but with sys- iematic training, which we understand the club -,ia,i.,igeiyicnt are row insisting upon, they will indoubted'y do far better before the season is much older, and with the talent available they should prove very formidable opponents. The team last week consisted of R J Jones, goal Ogilvie and Jones (late of Conway), b,tckg S Brookes, W Roberts, and R Hughes, halves II P Roberts, R->w!and-Thomas, Coppack, T Williams and T Roberts, forwards.

Sea Encroachments in Flintshire. THE RAILWAY THREATENED. The sands o' Dee are proverbially fickle, and the tides of the estoarv are just now p!ay;'ng a prank which i? destined lo reduce the lent-roil of several landlords and to cause much expanse and anxiety to the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany.. The fate of some of the finest alluvial farmlands in Flintshire, adjoining the estuary of the Dee, betw.-en Mosiyn aud -Greenfield, is serious'y threatened. Not many years ago the main course of the river at low tide lay on the opposite ti(ig of the estuary, and a great bank estend-xl from tha shore between Mostya and Greenfi.ld to the Msstyn D.:ep, a channel through the sar.ds which higher up joined the main bed of the river. Tne distance from the shore to the eastward edge of the bank was covered with grass, richly fed with the deposits from occasional inundations at high tides, and in the summer time hundrtd) of cattle and shiep grazed upon this marsh," as it is called. Broad gutters up which the tide raced served to drain the marsh at low tide and todravv oft the water from the ad- joining lauds. A great ea then embankment de- fended the latter lands, which are below sea level at high water of f-priog tides, from Mos'.ya t) beyond Greenfield, and the wide expanse of grass, with its intersecting gutters, lay outside this em- bankment. But tho vagaries of the tidal currents have caused many changes. Years ago the channel of y 11 the river u^ed to lie close to Flint Castl-, but n;lw it has gone f ir out from It, while in the pist fiye years it has been steadily wearing away the Mo;-tyn Bank and the marsh which has just been described. The bank in the eatuary, called the Salbbary Middle, for some inexplicable reason, began to grow, raising its crown aud moving its western edge shorewards. A course for the waters flow- ing seawards had to be found, and the channel running into Mostyu Deep encroached with eqaal speed upon the Mostyn Bank. First it, was noticed thit the sands below the marsh hud gone, and then the marsh itself began to disippear. Now but a narrow fringe of the marsh had been left, opposite Holywell station, while a channel taid to bo 30 £ t. deep at the lowest ebb lies jest off the embankment, which is itself undermined for a distance of some 300 yards, and in" hit h the sc-a has formed, abJut half-way between Holy- well and Mostyn, a gap about 60 yards wide. Its next proceeding w ll be to gnaw Etway the field belonging to Lord Mostya within the embank- ment, A great breach in the bulwark has been made, and a high tide and strong north-east wind are alone neaded to make havoc of tho remainder of the dyke and to wash away the land up to the railway. It is now too lat* to attempt to save either the bank or the land, and their disapp •arancc, unless the tidal currents make another sudden change of direction, which is hardly t) be ex- pected, is only a matter of time. At present the attack is most threatening bj tween the gutter leading up to the L'anerch-y- Mor leadworks (now the site rf a colliery shaft) and Holywell station. The embankment here is 250 to 300 yds from the railway, and from Holywell Station to Llanerch-y-Mor the distance is about two miles. The agricultural !and which is soon to be swallowed up, and which it is impossible now to save, amounts to about 180 acres. When this goes the sea will encounter tho railway, and the Company will have the task thrust upon ibem of protecting their line, aad in so doing of gua ding the remaiader of tho flat lands up to where the hills begin, t Jgether with the Chester high road. For months pest they have expected what would befall them, and their engineers have b^en busily forming a pitched slope to their lino from Holywell Station to Llanerch-y-Mor, which will, it is hoped, be a sufficient defense when the sea reaches it.

The Danger of House Flies. Dr Grecnhalgh, medical officer of hfalth for Accrincton, reports that 49 deaths were registered during August, giving a death-rate of 13.5, com- pared with 6.68 for July and 8.83 for August of last year. There were 102 births, giving a birth-ra.te of 27.44. The most noticeable feature of the monthly health figures was the comparatively high birth- rate, which was, however, accompanied by a more than compensating increase in the infant mortality. Out of 49 deaths 19 had occurred in children under one year old. The mosb efficient means of pre- venting those diseasea was to be found in scrupu- lous cl?anline8s about the household, especially with regard to the protection of food from the house flies. Where house flies abounded some fault was present either in the ventilation or cleanliness of the house or its surroundings. House flies abounded most where putrefaction was going on.

Science has come to the rescue and produced a soap—Fels-Naptha—which so loosens the dirt and grease that DO boiling or hot water is needed. It is hard to make the average housewife believe that clothes can be made white and ab- solutely ele&n without boiling. It is realised by many that boiling injures the clothes and makes them wear out quicker.
