"Sectarian Jobbery." MINISTER'S FIERY INDICTMENT OF WELSH PUBLIC LIFE. A remarkably outspoken indictment of the "sectarian jobbery which, he declares, corrupts the public life of Wales is made by the Rev. R. Silyn Roberts, M.A., a popular Methodist minister, of Festiniog, in the current number of Y Geninen (Welsh Quarterly Review). Speaking from inside knowledge, he charges Welsh county councils, education committees, and other public bodies in the Principality with subordinating public interests to sectarian or personal considera- tions, and the political and religious leaders of the people with the rankest hypocrisy. "It would be difficult," he says, "to find any country where corruption in the appointment of public servants prevails more largely than in Wales. The question asked is not which is the best candidate on the list, but rather whose influence is behind him. What is important is not the possession of scholarships and sterling character, but that he should be a vote-collecting mendicant." Mr. Roberts gives a number of illustrative instances, adding, I have the names and parti- culars at hand if necessary." Only one of two possible explanations of these remarkable actions can," he says, "be offered. Either the members of these committees must be dull and ignorant or else the whole thing is corrupt jobbery. And yet people say that our cultured youth are weakening in their attachment to our country and our churches, and express surprise that they should do so. The real won- der is that so many remain faithful when com- pelled to witness the hypocrisy and jobbery of public life on every hand, and the heroes of this jobbery posing as religious leaders on the Sab- bath. "The alleged agnosticism and absence of religious sympathy in the educated classes in Wales should not trouble us one-fourth as much as the blighting hypocrisy of our public life. Honest agnostics would make better leaders for Honest agnostics would make better leaders for our land than those who, professing to be Christians, permit favouritism to betray the trust reposed in them by the masses. Unless these things be reformed our best men will be driven to other lands, our children will be left to the mercy of the weaklings who remain, and the brightest hopes of young Wales will be sacrificed on the altar of selfishness."

Conway Corporation. THE RATES. A special meeting of the Conway Corporation was held last (Wednesday) evening-, presided over by the Mayor (Dr. M. J. Morgan). The other members present were Aldermen R. Arthur- Prichard, W. M. Sever, and Arthur Netherwood, Councillors Fred. Jones, John Williams, Edward Jones, J. E. Conway-Jones, and A. G. Oldman, with the Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), the Borough Engineer (Mr. F. A. Delamotte), the Borough Accountant (Mr. Hugh Parry), and the Rate- Collector (Mr. T. M. Jones). THE RATES. The Finance Committee recommended that the borough rate be 3d. in the and the library rate id. in the £ as before. Councillor Oldman, the chairman of the com- mittee, in moving the adoption of the recom- mendation, said he wished to make it public that he honestly believed that every member of that body were working with one aim in view, and that. was to economise wherever practicable, and that, he could assure them, had been evidenced by the fact that the different committees had kept the expenditure of the borough well within the estimate during the twelve months. As far as he could see, great care was needed for the future, and let them hope that the feature of having the deficiency reduced by ^200 last year, would be eclipsed during the coming year. There was no possibility of lessening the demands this year, notwithstanding the fact that they had such able critics on the Council as Councillor John Williams. A suggestion was made in the Finance Committee that a reduction should be made in the upkeep of main roads. In his opinion this would be disas- trous, especially when one considered that the main roads of the borough were the main arteries between one county and another, and between most important holiday resorts. The County Surveyor had stated that the traffic along the borough main roads exceeded that of any other throughout the whole county, and that they were kept better at £ 9 less per mile than throughout the county. VVnatever the cry had been in the past, and whatever it might be in the future, he felt that the financial status of the Corporation had never been better than it was that day. They had settled all litigation, and now they had not even a single threat of litigation against the Council. Councillor F. J. Jones seconded the adoption of the rate. Councillor John, Williams said that the officials had charge' õf spending money, and he hoped they would be careful of it. He should like a statement to be presented quarterly by the Borough Accountant showing whether the committees were keeping within the estimate. The lecommendationi was unanimously agree-a to. Councillor Oicliman next proposed that a gen- eral district rate of 43. in the £ be levied for the ensuing year, which, he stated, was the same as last year. The next estimated requirements amounted to £4.517 5s. iod. Alderman Netherwood, in seconding, con- gratulated the Chairman of the Finance Com- mittee on his statement; but he believed he was mistaken when he stated that they had got to the end of the litigation, neither had they yet paid all for the ,litigation they had been engaged in., because monev had been borrowed, .and spread over a number of years. This was also carried unanimously. ITF.1,1) PRACTICES ON THE MORFA. A letter was read from the C.R.E., Chester, stating that field practices would be carried out on the Morfa this year, and disappearing tar- gets would be. required, and asking if there wbrjild foe any objection to their digging trenches 5ft. 6in. deep in front of the range. After consideration, it was resolved that a let- terhe sent to the military authorities stating that, as at present itiibrmed, it appears to the Committee that some considerable damage would be done to. the Morfa by the proposed trenches, but if the military authorities considered it ab- solutely necessary to dig the trenches that they would like an interview with the musketry officers on the site before deciding. It was further resolved that the Mayor (Dr. Morgan) and the C ft air ma. of the Committee (Councillor Porter) be requested to meet the officers, if the authorities decide to discuss the matter on the spot. BRIDGE TOLLS. The Borough Accountant submitted. letters from Mr. Thornton, Jones, with a claim from the solicitor acting for the bridge lessee for ^8 is. in respect of tolls for carriages passing over the bridge during the month of March, in accordance with the arrangement made, and, after diue consideration, it was decided that a chequiC for the amount be passed for payment. ALUMINIUM CORPORATION. A letter was submitted from the liquidators of the Aluminium Corporation with respect to the scheme of re-arrangement, but the Council took no action in the matter.

Former Vicar ot Penmaenmawr LATE REV. J. A. HOWELL, M.A. MOVING TRIBUTE IN LIVERPOOL. Sunday morning proved eventful in the history of St. Bede's Church, Hartington-road. Liver- pool, where a crowded congregation assembled to pay a fitting tribute of respect to the memory of their late Vicar (the Rev. J. A. Howell, M.A.). The service was rendered all the more interest- ing and impressive by the presence in strong force of the officers and men of the Western Telegraph Companies Royal Engineers. The Rev. Thomas Wilkinson (curate), who has carried on the work with remarkable success, officiated. Special hymns were sung, the pulpit being draped with black and covered with white floral tributes. Mr. Wilkinson, who is a most able preacher, delivered an address full of pathos and interest, in the course of which he said :—On Wednesday last a large gathering of the congregation met in the Church-room and passed a resolution of sym- pathy with Mrs. Howell and family. She was profoundly thankful, and wished him to express, on behalf of herself and family, their grateful thanks for their kindly sympathy. The Bishop had written a letter to the churchwardens, in which he stated his deep sorrow at the great loss sustained. After a long and successful ministry for forty years Mr. Howell fell asleep on Monday last. As he stood in that pulpit from time to time Mr. Howell had always tried to hide himself in order that Christ only might be heard, and they therefore took home to themselves the words of their text, Therefore, brethren, be diligent to make your calling and election sure." First of all, the uppermost thought in their minds was their sense of loss. Mr. Howell had many interests, a large circle of acquaintances and friends, and these he cherished up to the last. He was a Welshman by birth, and could speak fluently the Welsh language, and his body was buried in the Parish Churchyard at DWYGYFYLCHI, PENMAENMAWR, where he had been vicar for fourteen years. The service was most solemn, and the hymns sung in English and Welsh. Amongst his fellow-clergy- men the late Mr. Howell was widely respected, so much so that they made him secretary of their Clerical Society, a position of trust and honour, and in which his geniality, kindly temperament, and sterling qualities were always conspicuous but, above all, he was a devout minister of Jesus Christ. His conception of ministerial duties was high, and considered to be of the utmost impor- tance in connection with the work of the church and parish, and not only so, but he believed every minister should be divinely called to his work, or he could not expect a successful ministerial career. He always set forth Jesus Christ as the Incarnate Son of God, and this was very impor- tant considering the diversities of opinion at the present day. He was both a loyal and evangelic- al Churchman, his great simplicity in public worship and reverence for Holy SoriptuTe was profound, as weltl as his devotion to. the Book of Common Prayer. He regarded the National Church as the most efficient instrument used by God for the preaching of Christ at home and abroad. For many years he was secretary i-or the British and Foreign Bible Society, which had for its parish the whole world. For fourteen years he had been, known amongst them and respected by all; in the darkest hours of bereavement he had visited many of them, and their .memories of him that day were, there- fore, tender and gracious, because he was a man full of compassion. It had been his (the preacher's) duty to take up the work of their late Vicar, and never had there been greater loyalty shown by any congregation, who had continuously given their support and attended most regularly the house of God. That day they were reminded by those officers and men present that their Vicar was once chaplain of the regiment, and whose traditions they were to continue; and if he had been, present he would have spoken words of fire and of burning patri- otism, which always characterised him—words thrilled with THE CELTIC PASSION of a true citizen.. South Africa to-day is one of the most promising assets of the Empire. The Boers who fought against us were now most en- thusiastic members of our commonwealth, and a regiment of men like those present had helped to bring about that happy result. The regimental band led the singing of one of the hymns, as well as the National Anthem. The whole service was closed by the band playing most impressively Handel's Dead March in Saul." Mr. Iv. H. Smith, F.R.C.O., presided at the organ, and played as prelude Chopin's Funeral March." On Sunday morning a memorial service was held in St. Seiriol's Church, Penmaenmawr, the Rev. Mr. Keatinge officiating.

Colwyn Bay National Eisteddfod. To THE EDIl'OR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—I presume that the Eisteddfod Committee will soon fix upon the subject for the Chair prize, if they have not already done so. The principle, and, I may almost add, the most dramatic incident of the whole four days is the Chairing of the Bard. Heis the hero, not only of the day, but of the event of the year, and deservedly^so he is received with acclamation by thousands, as triumphant in an intellectual struggle. I have witnessed several such scenes with great enthusiasm. I want, Sir, to look a little beyond and behind this interesting event. I would ask how many of the excited thousands will read the successful production, and read it thoughtfully. Is it a case of cheering the winning horse, or may we assume, that they value and appreciate a poetic production of high merit and mean to grapple with it ? And what about the unsuccessful attempts ? Even most of them must be worthy of perusal, and copyright of all ought to be of great value. But what is the fact ? They are not heard of. The winner is barely read by one Welshman in a thousand. We are paying too dearly for the preservation of the Welsh language. Were these productions in English they would be read, criticised and appreciated by millions in England and the United States. Should it transpire that a poet is dis- covered,-and why not ?-who might take his stand with Gray, Cowper, Longfellow, Bryant, Tennyson, and others, he would find that this is a golden age of literature and why not benefit, as it is, the best thoughts are confined to a few Welsh readers.-I am, &c., CYMRO.

Miss Darbishire's Wedding. THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY AT SINGAPORE. We have the greatest pleasure in quoting the following report, which is of such widespread local interest, from the Singapore Free Press, of April 1St On Saturday afternoon, at the Presbyterian Church, Orchard road, in the presence of a very large gathering of friends, there was celebrated the marriage of Mr. E. D. Hewan, of Boustead and Co., to Miss Louisa Darbishire, sister of Mr. C. W. Darbishire, of Paterson Simons and Co. Great interest attached to the wedding, as both the bride and bridegroom are very popular members of Singapore society. As the bride, who looked most charming, entered on the arm of her brother, who gave her away, the strains of the processional hymn, Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us," sounded through the church. The marriage ceremony was then proceeded with, the Rev. J. A. Gray, Presbyterian minister, officiating. At the close, on the bride and bride- groom proceeding to the vestry to sign the register, the hymn, "0, perfect love," was given and the Wedding march" of Mendelssohn was played as the newly-married couple were leaving the church. The bride was attended by two bonny little girls-Miss Nita Gumming and Miss Dolly Anthonisz-while the bridegroom was looked after by Mr. W. A. Greig, as best man. The bridal party and guests thereafter drove to Broadfields, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Darbishire, where the reception was held. After congratulating the happy couple, and inspecting the array of handsome wedding gifts, the guests passed out on to the fine lawn, where every arrangement had been made for an al jresco gathering. The band of the Middlesex Regi- ment was in attendance, under the leadership of Mr. Calthorpe, and contributed greatly to the pleasure of those present by playing a selection of appropriate music. Shortly after the bride had cut the bride's-cake, the Hon. J. 0. Anthonisz proposed the health of the newly-married pair, making his speech brief, as the sky had begun to look rather threatening. Three hearty cheers for the bride and bridegroom were then given, the latter thanking the proposer of the toast for his kindly words and all present for the cordial way in which it had been received. Shortly after a photograph had been taken of the assemblage on the lawn rain fell, and an adjournment had to be made indoors. It cleared off again just before the newly-wedded couple drove off in a motor-car for the honeymoon, which is to be spent at Beting Kusa. It may be added that the bride wore a dress made Empire fashion, of white charmeuse, veiled in beautiful old Carrickmacross lace. She also wore a very handsomely embroidered wedding veil. Her going-away dress was of cinnamon- coloured soft satin, with yoke and sleeves of net and lace. It was made in the Directoire style, with very close-fitting double-skirt. The white hat of dull green straw had the crown completely covered with a mass of exquisitely shaded roses. The two little bridesmaids wore frocks of pink and white muslin Valenciennes lace, threaded with pale pink ribbon. They wore simple veronique lace caps with pink roses on each side, and carried baskets of pale pink roses.
