. Re Talacre School.
Re Talacre School. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. DEAR SIR.-Reading the Flintshire Observer" of last week, I can hardly think that the very great number of persons in Flintshire, either of the Flintshire County Council or among our neighbours ofFfynnongroew, understand what they are ta king about, and are therefore really guilty of a fault which I feel sure my couutrymen would not commit willingly—that of bad t>lste and form in talking about the private affairs of others, and attacking the re igion of others, without the smallest excuse. Let all know there are four schools in Sir Pyers Mostyn's hands-a girls' school, an infant girls' school, nccommodating 126 a boys' school for ibf ut 100, now held by Madame de Roisfleury, and an infant boy#' room, now used as a cookery classroom. The lower half, which till January 20'h was run as a mixM school (non-provided) under public control, we now run privately, with the mistress we have al- Duhlio8^^ Were w'^in8 to pay privately, so the callpd fn? atl°n .against Miss Wood is most un- feel bji lnm^ therefore most impertinent. But 1 thev can t outei^ers try to talk of a mattei & sj ssa rBfess-noM of ae ,aeto Cjmndi ^mv;v of the parish, so tint the pu!^)l^tv5he !l1'SIMJ8tal complain of. But the Sd say unless we will try a ? was not acceptable. Unless, I iv would leave our tenants' children under W charge, we bad either to b« false to the chil- dren, or forfeit the grant or rate aid. We choRe our tenants' children's well-being and our honour to the money loss. Lastly, our school was locked up from the 5th October to the 20th January inffcted with whooping cough, scarlet fever, and diphtheria. The quarantine of the diphtheria was over in November, and to please this same head- mistress the Gwespyr children were kept out of their school without education for these ten weekt,. Yet my husband pays the great bulk of the rates of all this district, and gets this in return. As still 81 children have confidence in our school, we ,are at our private expense keeping it going, be cause the Flintshire County Council won't run it on as before, as a non-provided school they try to intist on our selling or leasing, which we refuse to ¡- do. But the public have nothing to complain of. Miss Wood, the present head Roman Catholic mistress, has her school, not as a "black leg," but I at the £ 82 the former mistress received before get- ting her reward of an increase to £ 90. Anyone can see this by looking at the cash book and register at Mold. On the boys' side also at our expense a Mr i Owen and his wife are teaching non-Catholics, and I trust if they are Calvinistic Methodists and Church of England, as they say, they may have more chantv than IS expressed in the report of the meeting in the Flintshire Observer," or we are tamly all in danger. However, as the Most.yns of Talacre have managed to exist as Roman Catholics for 1906 years, I expect we shall still remain and survive the absolutely unjust and libellous statements made at recent public meetings. It must always be remembered that the Talacre schools were built by Roman Catholics and are in mortgage and kept up solely at Sir Pyers Mostyn's expense, and I trust they may be of the greatest possible use in the locality in the future as in the past. I can quite understand that through the hopeless policy of the late teacher the little plan to uoe Sir Pyers' private school for the condemned Calvinistic Methodist school of Gronant has failed, but it was rather premature to locate this school to another denominationwithout the owner's consent, and yet I saw it even in the official County Coun- cil printed papers. This plan has not failed be- cause we are unwilling to be of use, but because the Flintshire County Council will only accept its use if the Roman Catholic ownership is made over to the Calvinistic Methodist party, or they would have run it on as we suggested, as a non- provided school, with a record of a 48 years' honourable observance of the conscience clause. Surely the parents as before can be trusted to see to their own children's interests and remove them to the other three—or is it to be six other schools? —in our small parish of Llanasa. I must apologise for so lengthy a letter, but the facts of this case should be known as quickly as possible to prevent endless misunderstandings.—I am, yours faith- fully, ANNA MARIA MOSTYN.

Prestatyn.I

The case had been adjourned for the production of documentary I eVIdence, and after going through the accounts produced the Judge (Sir Horatio Lloyd) awarded plaintiff F-4 lIs lod. Mr E A Crabbe, Abergele, appeared for plaintiff.
IDeath of Mr W. H. Coward,…
Death of Mr W. H. Coward, Prestatyn. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Councillor W H Coward, J.P., of Prestatyn, for thereby that town has lost one of its most useful and highly respected citizens. Mr Coward had been in ill health for some time past, and latterly his condition had occasioned much anxiety. He passed away at his residence, Rose Mount, on Monday afternoon, in his 59th year, and much sympathy will be felt for the sorrowing wife and children he has left behind. The deceased gentleman was one of the original members of the Prestatyn Urban District Council, of which body he was the second chairman, succeeding Mr Robert Davies, who now resides at Chester. His splendid work on the Council will long be gratefully remembered. He was largely instrumental in securing for the Council the acquisition of the water undertaking. He was a staunch Church- man, and forsome years filled theoffice of Vicar's Warden. He wasalso a prominent Conservative, and in his capacity as thairman of the local Conservative Club, and in other ways, he ren- dered the party great service. As a magistrate he won universal esteem. Until recently he took an active part in the management of his business as a plumber and painter at la and 3 Fern Grove, Lodge Lane, Liverpool, in which city he was very highly regarded by a wide circle of friends. His term of office as a mem- ber of the Prestatyn Council expires this month, and, as we have already intimated, he did not intend to seek re-election. Before business was commenced at the monthly meeting of the Prestatyn Urban Dis- trict Council on Monday evening, the Chairman (Mr T Jones, J.P.) made sympathetic reference to the death of Mr Coward. He was sure all the members would agree with him that in Mr Coward they had lost a most efficient Council- lor and a highly respected townsman. He did not think they had ever had such a good servant to the town certain it was they had never had a better. Mr Coward was on the Council from the very commencement of its history, and he was the second chairman. His public career was marked by good sound work. He moved a vote of sympathy with the bereaved family. Mr T J Scott seconded. There could be no doubt but that Mr Coward had done splendid work in the past, and they all regretted his death. He was one of the original members of the Council, and a shining light when all the hardest work had to be done and there was greater anxiety than now. He (Mr Scott) had had the pleasure of his acquaintance for 12 or 13 years, and no one else had been a greater friend than Mr Coward had proved himself to be. F The Council passed the vote of condolence in silence, all standing.
Abergele.
Abergele. Wesleyan Chapel. Messrs Needham Bros, Seymour Villa, have been given the contract tor the work of renovating the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel. Altogether there were six tenders for the work, and the choice remained with the architect. Death of Archdeacon Taylor. We regret, to announce the death of the Ven. Archdeacon Taylor, of Liverpool, which took place shortly before midnight on Monday at his residence in Aigburth-road. Though he had been in failing health for some time, the end was unexpected, and was the result of a stroke, which attacked him while at dinner earlier in the evening. By his death at the advanced age of 85 years Liverpool has lost a prominent figure and the Church a learned divine, who for many years had taken a prominent part in the religious and philanthropic life of the community. Deceased enjoyed great popularity»in the Abergele district, which was amongst his favourite resorts, and where, in fact, he had a house, namely Dolbyfryd.
ICONTESTS ALL ROUND.

St Patrick s Concert at Rhyl. The festival of t*10., ^>at,r°n Saint of Ireland was celebrated at St ar^ s °n Monday evening, when a very eujoyable entertainment took place in the schoolroom, under the direction of the Rev Father Swift.

Dr Abel Parry, Rhyl.
Dr Abel Parry, Rhyl. Among the veterans of the Welsh Baptist de- nomination Dr. Abel J Parry takes a prominent place. During the past 50 years the denomination has had few men who were more eloquent preach- ers, more original thinkers, or more powerful writers. Tbe doctor retired from the ministry some time ago, and he now lives in slippered ease," at Rhyl, where be is able to look back upon a life well spent in the service of religion and his country. He spent 50 years altogether in various places as a minister, and it occurred to his friends that it w»uld be a good thing if his reminiscences were given to the public. Dr. Parry consented, with the result that a very fine volume, contain- ing what may be called the doctor's autobio- graphy, with a number (25) of his best sermons, has now been published. In addition to this his friends on both sides of the Atlantic have added their appreciations." These sketches are ex- ceedingly interesting, and are written by the well-known Welsh Baptists, Dr Waldo James, Dr W P Williams, Dr H 0 Rowlands, Dr Spinther James, the Revs Charles Davies, Peter Jones, E T Jones, D Jones, W Cynon Evans, J Gwyddno Williams, J T Lloyd. T Frimston, H Cernyw Williams, J Davies, (Gwyneddon) T Shankland, and several others, who deal with the various aspects of the man, his work, character, and career. The sermons stand in the front rank of such compositions in Welsh, being invariably the result of deep study and wide reading. The volume is a valuable contribution to Welsh biblioeraphical literature, and a splendid monu- ment to a really ably man, who has left bis stamp and image upon his denomination and to some extent upon his age. The volume is published by the African InstitlliionColwyn Bay. "Weatorn Mail."
Sequel to the Legltlmaoy Case.
Sequel to the Legltlmaoy Case. At Rbyl County Court on Friday, before Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd and Mr Registrar Oliver George, Mr J Roberts Jones applied on behalf of Miss Catherine Jones, sister of the late Richard Jones, father of the claimant in what has been described as the local Tichborne case, for the paymsat of 910 17s out of the estate awarded to the claimant to cover the expenses in connection with the funeral of Richard Jones. Mr F J Gamlin appeared on behalf of William Jones, the claimant, and opposed the application, and Mr Wynne Edwards watched the proceeding on behalf of James McLellan, who formerly held the estate under letters of administration. The application was refused.
---------_ Rbyl as a Winter…
Rbyl as a Winter Health Resort. Rhyl is rapidly acquiring a high reputa- tion for its climate in winter. Hitherto its advantages as a winter resi- dence have not been appreciated as they deserve, which I attribute to the fact that they have not been sufficiently made known, and I am convinced that the more they arc considered, the more popular will it become as a health resort. It stands almost unequalled for the salu- brity and dryness of its atmosphere, its exemp- tion from all kinds of epidemics, and its entire freedom from fogs. The small precipitation of rain, and absence of mist and fog in winter at Rhyl, is due, in the fjj-st place, to the Snowdonian mountains having condensed and caused the precipita- tion of the moisture of the rain winds, and secondly to the drying influence of the wide expanse of sandbills. and the sand left between the tide marks, and the conse- quent absence of standing water. The dry and porous nature of the soil, of course, exercises a great influence on the warmth of its climate, as through the soil the rain percolates almost as soon as it falls, and but little, therefore, is left to cool and moisten the air by evaporation. The rainfall of Rhyl is remarkably smal and there is a very high record of sunshine, the average temperature being cooler in summer and warmer in winter than either in Torquay or Bournemouth. The long and lofty ranae of mountains traversing the whole of North Wales exercises a very important influence on its climate. The fall of rain in the mountainous regions far exceeds the fall in the immediate locality of Rhyl, and to this fact the town is to a considerable extent indebted for the abnorm- ally high temperature it enjoys through the winter months. Many eminent doctors in the large English towns speak in the highest terms of the climate along the North Wales Ccast, and send their patients thither, to winter and recuperate during convalescence, and the late Dr Evans, of Birmingham, who during his lifetime was a frequent visitor to Rhyl, used to say that it was unrivalled in the United Kingdom as a residence for consumptive patients. ears ago, invalids were ordered to Tor- quay and Ventnor, until those health resorts being found too relaxing the more bracing air of Bournemouth was discovered to be' beneficial. And there is no doubt whatever that before many years have passed, the stil purer and more bracing air of Rhyl will in many cases be preferred to that of either of the winter resorts I have mentioned. Another important advantage possessed by Rhyl is its accessibility, it being about three hours'ride from Birmingham, and the London and North Western Railway Company, who own the line by which our destination is reached, offer every facility in the way of cheap fares, for long or short periods, during the winter months. Rhyl is now an important town with a resident population of about 9,000. The principal streets and promenade are lighted with electricity the Town Band plays during the winter frequent concerts and entertainments take place; and there are good hockey, football aud social clubs, so tha); those who believe the place is dull in winter will be most agreeably surprised, as they will be, also, at the low prices charged during the winter mouths at the hotels and boarding houses. I have visited Rhyl in almost every month of the year for periods of three months to three days at a time, and T fully believe that as a winter resort it cannet be surpassed, and the fact that it has been selected for a place of permanent residence by numbers of men of business and independent means proves it is a desirable place to live at all the year round, and as the grandness and beauty of its climate in winter become better under- stood, there will be few places more sought after as a winter icsort.
