There I were, however, several matters, that could be discussed in relation, to the House, and in re- sipect to. the drainage it was recommended to spend1 the sum of £ ?>■ Mr. John Pierce said that it would be a treat to the ratepayers if they coulld go through the House and see everything as it was. The Hos- pital Ward was a blessing, and so was the beau- tiful air that they breathed and the situation was quite lovely. TOBACCO FOR WOMEN PAUPERS. Mr. Batiho reported on- behalf of the Visiting Committee that for some time past the Local Government Board regulations as to the supply of tobacco to the inmates had been broken by allowinfg tobacco to be supplied to, able-bodied paupers, and they recommended that this prac- tice be discontinued. The Chairman Including the women? Mr. Batho,: Yes. (Laughter.) The motion was adopted, and a suggestion that: the oildi women should be allowed their sniuff was not accepted,. INVITATION FOR THE CHILDREN. Communications were received from the Den- bigh May Day Committee, who are holding their festivities on the 5th June, to take the form of a Rose Queen Celebration,, and from the St. Asaph.

St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. LLANDD UL-AS IMPROVEM ENiTiS. Mr. Bennett Jones presided at the monthly meeting of this Board on Friday. The follow- ing members were also, presierA:-Clanon C. F. Roberts, Messrs. John, Roberts (Llwyni), Wm. Jones, Thomas Evansi, T. Salusbury, J. D. Jolies, T. Ufelyn Jones, Thomas Hughes, and Robert Davies (Betttwsi) together with the Clerk (Mr. Charles Grims'ley), and the Medical Officer (Dr. Lloyd Roberts). THE OL1PTERFYN ROAD, LLANDDULAS. Canon Roberts called the Council's atteniuoin to, the great need of notices being placed at the Clipterfynnroad, to warn motorists of the great danger there was in driving too quickly at this juncture. The County Council had declined to do anything in the matter, and, that being so, he propoised that their own Council do. some- thing in the matter. It would1 be dreadful to ■think that nothing would be dOllie until someone got killed or injured. The Clerk explained, how matters stood, and it was decided to send the correspondence to the Local Government Board. Mr. J. D. Jones..said that would mean a great delay. •Mr. John, Roberts (Llwyni) said there were scores of places where they should put notices up if they started with one. Canon, Roberts replied that Mr. Roberts did not live on that road, so he possibly did not care. The Chairman: He does not care about any- body but himself, you mean. '(Laughter.) TENDERS FOR CARTAGE. The Council considered the tenders for the supply and cartage of materials to. the district roads for the ensuing year, and, the same were selected. THE DRAINAGE OF LLANDDULAS. A letter was, read from the Local Government Board adverting to. the remarks, in the annual report of the Medical Officer of Health with re- ference to the drainage, of Tai Duilas and Pen- njington-terrace, and enquiring how the ifl-atter stood. CarniÜln Roberts stated that the Llanddulas Parish Council had had the matter umder con- sideration,, and they were in, f avour of going on with the drainage. It was a great expense to go. across the fields for the purpose. As there were1 some building developments likely to. be proceeded with, he thought with the Parish Council that it would be impracticable to go on with the matter until they knew the extent of the buildings. He moved that a reply to, that effect be sent t0' the Local Government Board. Mr. Thomas Evans seconded, and it was car- ried, and the Clerk wasmlsrtructed to reply to that effect. WATER FOR THE LLANDDULAS LIFEBOAT. A letter was read from Mr. B. H. Jones, hon. secretary to, the Llanddiulas Branch of the Life- boat Institution, as to the supply of water to the lifeboat house. The Surveyor reported on the matter'that the supply had been granted, and his action was confirmed. THE LEAN FAIRTALHAIARN WATER SUPPLY. Applications were made by the following to be connected with the Llanfair water supply, which was granted:—'Mrs. Ellen Davies, Rose- him; Mr. William Owen, Ty'.nllidiart; Mrs. Jane Owens, Swan-square; and the Rev. J. M. Price, Broneilan.

Steward and Pantomime Girl. I LOCAL DIVORCE CASE. In the Divorce Court, on. Friday, before Mr Justice Bargrave Deane, a case was heard in which Barbara Billay sued for a divorce from Ro- bert Bray, a steward, with whom she had lived at Pwllheli, Carnarvonshire, and at Gresford, Denbighshire, and against whom she alleged de- sertion and misconduct. The suit was undefended. Mr. Durley Glazebrook appeared for the peti- tioner, and explained that the marriage took plaice at Stockton-on-Tees in 1893. In. Marcti., 1906, while they were living at Gresford, the re- spondent deserted Irs wife, and he had since gone to America. With regard to the miscon- duct it appeared that the respondent, in 1907, had stayed in. apartments, with a young woman who was engaged in the pantomime, and was known on the stage then at Fritzy Russell. Mrs Biray gave evidence in support of coun- sel's statement. Her husband left her, she said,, in 1906, saying that he was going to Liverpool. Her sister went to see him there and begged him to return home, but he refused. Afterwards she heard that he had got employment at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. (Mrs Rose Ackford said that in January, 1907, the respondent took apartments at her house in Worksop-road, Aittercliffe, saying that he was a traveller in the wihidky trade. He said his wife was playing in the pantomime at Ro-thierbarn at that time. He brought the woman who was known on the stage as Fritzy R uSisell to the house, and they occupied the. same room. A decree nisi was granted with costs.

Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise. CENTENARY PERFORMANCE AT COLWYN BAY. There was a very large congregation at St. Paul's Church, Colwyn Bay, on Friday evening to hielar a performance of Mendelssohn's splendid work The (Hymn of Praise." It was a musical treat to those who heard it, and no more fitting place for the production, of so noble a work of Mendelssohn's coiuld be desired than St. Paul's Church. Those who brought about the happy event are to be congratulated upon the success that at- tended their efforts. The chorus comprised the choirs of St. Thomas' Church (Rhyl), St. John's (Colwyn), and' St. Paul's ,(Colwyn Bay), the, whole voices numbering about eighty. The principals were Mrs Anthony Oldfield (soprano), Miss Elsie Stephenson (mezzo-soprano), and Mr J. J. Maltby (tenor), of ChesterCathedral. Mr C'. Morton Bailey, Mrus. Bac., F.R.C.O. (organist and choirmaster of Llangollen Parish Church), presided at the organ-, and the performance was conducted by Mr Bryan, Warhurst, A.R.C.M., L.R.A.M. (organist and choirmaster of St. Thomas' Church, Rhyl). Evensong, prior to the Hymn of Praise," consisted of a processional hymn, Tallis Re- sponses, Psalm xcvi. (Hopkins) First Lesson., i Ghron. xxix. 9-21 Magnificat (Storey) Second Lesson, Rev. v. 6, Nunc Dimittis (Storey), and collects. The 'first movement of the symphony (abridged) was played in a masterly manner by Mr. C. Morton Bailey. The congregation were seated during the rendering. The first chorus, Ali men, all things, all that has life and breath, sing to the Lord, Hallelujah," was given, the con- gregation standing. It was at once noticed that the choir had been' very carefully trained by Mil". Bryan Warhurst, and the general effect was pleasing. Mrs- Anthony Oldfield was particularly effective in the solo, with a semi-chorus "Praise thou tihe Lord, 0 my spirit,, and my inmost soul praise His loving kindness." MiT. J. J. Maltby, wiho has an excellent tenor voice, of robust quality, gave with devotional fervour the recitative, Sing ye praise, all ye redeemed of the Lord," and the air He counteth all your sorrows in the time of need." There was an impressive spirit pervading the chorus, All ye that cried unto the Lord in distress and deep affliction." Mirs. Anthony Oldfield and Miss Elsie Stephenson are deserving of all praise for the very prettily rendered duet, I waited for the Lord," with chorus. The two voices, so- prano- and mezzo., blended most agreeahly, and this portion of the work must be considered one of its sweetest gems. Mr. J. J. Maltby sang with much feeling the air The sorrows of death," and he was quite dramatic in- the plaintive reci- tative We called through the darkness, Watchman., will the night soon pass? Mrs. Anthony Oldfield with brightness sang" The night is departing," which was taken up by the chorus. The chorus, Let all men praise the Lord," was sung in fine manner, the congrega- tion standing for this majestic chorus. The choir's full strength and power were exhibited in this portion, the treatment being most credit- able. Mrs. OMfieid and Mr. Maltby were very successful in the duet, My song shall be alway Thy mercy." The climax of the beautiful work was reached when the final chorus was given, "Ye nations, offer to the! Lord glory and might." The whole performance was one of which all concerned may feel proud, and Colwyn Bay was fortunate i nhaving such a musical treat. A silver collection was made in aid of the St. Paul's Church Tower Fund.

To Ellis Lever, In response to the lines over his signature in to-day's Weekly New-s." Ab, but, dear Ellis- Lever, You are a gay deceiver. Not you nor I can e'er grow young again. If we attempt to trip, We shall most surely slip And climbing that gave joy now gives us pain. The brooks must do the running, While we ourselves are sunning, Prone on their banks, the while our happy eyes Behold, our children, in their revelries. Yet surely 'tis a truth We may retain ouir youth In heart and spirit, though our limbs grow cold. And in returning Spring May still with Nature sing Songs that the morning stars- sang out of old, To. Him who ever lives, 3 And from 'His Spirit gives The quenchless flame of joy and trust in Him, That brightly glows when aged' eyes grow dim. SOl I will go with you, And if I cannot do The deedIs of youth, I will remember them. And will with you rejoice With heart and. mind and voice. In field, and wood, and ocean's glorious geim, And thankfully await The opening of the gate To that fair realim where Spring and youth ajbidfe, And life and knowledge flourish, side by side. j Llandiilot»yn-Rhos, EDWARD CLABKE.

Llandudno and the Taxi-Cab. A special meeting of the Llandudno Urban District 'Council was- held on Thursday night, Mr J. M'Master presiding. The general district rate of 3s. 3d., as already agreed to, was formally laid. The following report of the By-laws Com- mittee was then consideted, At the meeting of the committee on the 25th, Mr Hallmark, solicitor, accompanied by the managing director and the secretary of the Llandudno Motor icaa Garage Company attended, and applied for the renewal of the existing motor char-a-banc li- cences and for permission to call at their re- spective residences for passengers who have pre- viously booked for their' respective tours. Mr Hallmark undertook, on. behalf of the company, not to. wait for passengers if they were not ready at the stipulated time of calling, and also not under any conditions to. pick up passengers in the streets. The deputation also applied for a stand in North Piarade for one char-a-banc. in. regard to. the application sent in by the com- pany in August last for taxi-cab licences, the de- putation stated that at the present time they did no desire to urge the matter, and therefore withdrew the application. The deputation., hav- ing expressed their thanks and replied to, ques- tions put to them by the members, then with- drew.—Mr Hutton and Mr Higginbottom, on behalf of the hackney carriage industry, also ap- peared before the' committee in opposition to. any va,ri.ation of the conditions under which the motor char-a-banc licences were granted.

The committee passed the following resolutions —Recommended (a) to grant the Motor Company the privilege to call at their respective residences for persons who have each booked seats for advertised motor tours and not other persons, and also to. return such passengers, to. their residences at the finish of the journey the same as last year (b) that in addition to. calling at the residences of per- sons who have previously booked the company shall be authorised to. take up passengers from their chief depot in Vaughan-street, but not from the company's office at the pier gates (c) that the stand for a motor char-a-banc in North Par- ade be not granted (d) that no taxi-cab licences be granted this year." The Council adopted the recommendations of the committee by a large majority.
Children in Land of Dreams.

Children in Land of Dreams. There are children who. are dreamers, who see a fairy in each flower and an. angel in each cloud, who hear singing voices in, the brook, and to whom stars, and moon, and sun mean un- utterable, unexpLaimable things. They are mis- understood so often by the practical mother to whom grass is grass and' water is water, and, what is more, beds are heds. and dishes are dishes. To. her dreaming means nothing more than laziness, and; she is constantly at hand with her call. Mary, what in the world are you doing? Looking at the clouds again, I declare! Didn't I tell you to hurry up with those; dishes ? I don't see what I ever did to deserve such a lazy child." Mary, with, a quick, shuddering sigh, coinee back to. earth and looks blamMy around her. The dreams vanish a.s. again she views the piled- up dishes. '.Her mother's voice is still rasping in her ears. The tears fill her eyes as she goes on. with her work. Something has happened— just what she could hardily tell, but something beautiful has been torn out of her .life and swept away, and there is left, only an aching void. Of course the dishes had to be done, and it was right that Mary should do them. And it was annoying that she should stand there in the doorway with her face upturned to the sky and that half-washed dish in her hand. But was there not a kinder way of reminding her? Could not something have been said which would not have shocked her so? Suggest to that mother that she was unkind and she would have been most indignant. She would have been sincere in her refutation of the charge. She loved her child.
