LLANDRILLO-YN-RHOS. SYMPATHY.—Much sympathy is felt with the Vicar of this parish, the Rev. E. James Evans, M.A., who, on Friday last, experienced the loss by death of his aged father, the Rev. Morgan Evans, Vicar of Llanddewi-Aberarth, Aberayron, Cardiganshire. The late rev. gentleman, who was much respected throughout the diocese of St. David's, had been ailing for the last three or four years. Nevertheless, the end came rather suddenly. He spent three weeks, about two or three months ago, with his son at Llandrillo, and seemed at the time in fairly good health, considering his age. He was the oldest clergyman in the diocese of St. David's, being 89 years of age. He was a scholar of St. David's College, Lampeter, and was ordained deacon by the Bishop of St. Asaph in the year 1844, and priest in the year 1845 by the Bishop of St. David's. He was Curate of the historic parish of Llanbadarn-Fawr, Aberys- twvth, from 1844 until 1849, when he was made Vioar of Llangwyrfon, Cardiganshire, where he remained until the year 1887. In 1887 he was appointed to the Rectory of Llanddewi-Aberr artih, which he held to the day of his death. In 1895 he was made Rural Dean of Glyn Aeron, and in 1897 Honorary Canon of St. David's Cathedral.

The home team won the spin of the coin, and play at the commence- ment was of a ding-dong character, but the home- sters settled down, and kept up a pressure on the visitors, D. W. Hughes eventually finding the net with a somewhat soft shot. During the second half, Llanfairfechan again showed their superiority and kept up a hot pressure, a second point being registered by M.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER -Of late there has bern considerable anxiety felt in the Carnarvon boroughs respecting the attempt of Cardiff to secure Mr. Lloyd George as the candidate at the next election. Numbers of letters from pro- minent Liberals have appeared in the daily papers, and the following penned by Mr. J. P. Griffiths, a well-known Conway Liberal, will be of interest to the electors in this part of the boroughs :-In reply to yonr inquiry re the above matter, I am strongly of opinion that he does not contemplate turning his back on his present constituency, notwith- standing the recent wooings of Cardiff, and much to the chagrin of his opponents. To represent the capital of Wales at Westminster does not—to my mind—enhance the prestige or add to the lustre of a man who has already attained them in the fullest degree by dint of ability, courage, and absolute fidelity to lofty convictions. The Carnarvon boroughs have been loyal to him in his probation- ary days and in troublous times, and he is of a calibre that will not forget that. But if he should go, for party reasons or otherwise, his influence as a political leader in Wales is no more transient and local, but national and permanent. Therefore I have no doubt as to the result in the boroughs. MAGISTERIAL.—The following Magistrates attended the Conway Police Court on Monday: Mr. Henry Kneeshaw, D.L. (chairman), Dr. R. Arthur Prichard, Dr. Dalton, Messrs Ephraim Wood, Owen Rowland, J. Adey Wells, John Dowell, David Jones (Penmaenmawr) and Edward Williams. The reports of the cases will be found in other columns.

A leading feature of the enter- tainment was the sketch entitled The Waiter," the part being well sustained by Miss Ella Browne, Mr. Syd. Smythe, and Mr. Ewart Evelyn.

Miss Violet Roberts sang very sweetly Fairies have gone to bed," and Miss Meta Jones gave a very acceptable recitation. Mr Fleet was suc- cessful with his song Star of the Desert," after wihich Miss Beryl Bowes-Elliott, gave a de- lightful cymbal dance, and owing to the dull lamp light, the lightning that played without at the time lent a weirdness to the scene. Need- less to say, Miss Bowes-Elliott's efforts were much appreciated. Mr Sam Thompson, who was cordially received, delivered an address upon the J3udget, which he denounced, and stated that the only way to prosperity in the country was Tariff Reform. A song in charac- ter, "Mae Robyn yn Swil," by Miss Gaiiuor Davies, greatly pleased the audience, as did also Miss Marjorie Dunning with her pleasing rendering of the song, Sincerity." Carlo was the recitation given by Miss Miriam Dav- ies, which she gave with dramatic effect. Mr J. R. Hughes, of Llanddulas, is always a favourite at the local concerts, and his humor- ous song, The only bit of English that we've got," fairly brought down tie house.

Free Shares in Hydro Electric Power in Klondike. WITH A READY SALE AT 3/- PER HORSE POWER PER DAY WHILE COST- ING ONLY 3d. These profits seem impossible, yet it is an undlisputalble fact. We have all heard of the harnessing of the famous Niagara FalLs. We all know how these mighty waters have been' turned from a roaring wasting torrent into the largest power and light generating station in the world. It is now old history to most of us how water power has superseded steam for hundreds of miles around these renowned Falls. Well, then, the self-same thing is now being done at Klondike, the celebrated gold-fields. Hitherto the users of power for mines, mills, and dredges have used steam for the motive power; and when we mention that the price of coal is £.5 per ton, and wood ^3 per cord, the reader will glean an idea Off the heavy ex- pense of steam power. Now, however, thanks to a group of enter- prising gentlemen, a Hydro Electric Power plant is being erected in Klondike to supply power to the mines, mills, and dredges at 3s. peT horse power per day. The cost of generat- ing his power is under 3d. per horse power per day. In spite of these enormous profits, users get a more efficient power for a third of the present cost of steam. This water power is capable of developing 20,000 horse power; and nearly all of the largest Mining Companies of Klondike are applying for this power. There are low grade fields of gold-bearing gravels and quartz to last hundreds of years, to be worked with large profits by cheap power. To enable them to lay down further mach- inery, we have for sale* a block of the Com- pany's 6 per cent. ten year bonds, with which we give free a like amount of shares as bonuses to every purchaser of the bonds. The Company claim the dividends from the shares for one year alone will pay for the bonds, which can be purchased on easy terms for [I (one po and') upwards.
