Carnarvon County Council. CONFLICT OF POLITICAL PARTIES. The annual meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council took place on Thursday. When the hour for opening the proceedings arrived only the Conservatives members of the Council had assembled. The Rev. W. Morgan, affecting some amount of impatience, suggested that as long as the other members were at their caucus meeting the Council should start its work. He was about to propose that the election of Chairman should be proceeded with, when the Clerk, after scan- ning the company carefully, reported that as there were only twelve present there was no quorum. The Liberal members trooped in 12 minutes late, and were received with an ironical cheer. CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN. Mr. J. R. Pritchard proposed that the Vice- Chairman, Mr. John Owen (Llandudno). be the Chairman for the ensuing year, and this was unanimously agreed to, together with a vote of condolence with the same gentleman on the death of his son. In taking the chair, Mr. Owen moved a vote of thanks to Dr. R. A. Prichard, the retiring Chairman, and this being seconded by Mr. J. R. Hughes, was adopted. On the motion of Mr. T. W. Griffith, Mr, Wil- liam George was unanimously elected Vice- Chairman. ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. Messrs. D. Lloyd George, M.P., J. E. Greaves, D. P. Williams, John Owen (the Chairman), Maurice Jones, E. W. Davies, M.P., Charles H. Darbishire, and G. Hughes Roberts were elected Aldermen. The first five were retiring Aldermen. A few votes were also cast for Messrs. Richard Thomas, H. C. Vincent, Ro bert Hughes, J. T. Jones, Ralph Fisher. Hon H. Lloyd Mostyn, and Dr. Wynn Griffith. POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF COMMITTEES. Mr. Charles A. lones asked that before the nomination- for the various committees submitted by the Liberal caucus, an opportunity be given the other side to allocate their own members as they thought best. Mr. J. R. Hughes: 1 hope that politics will not be introduced. (" Oh," and laughter.) Mr. Jones always tells the ratepayers that he is not political in these matters. Mr. C. A. Jones maintained that his sugges- tion was a fair one. He never attended a caucus meeting on either side, and he did not blame the Liberal caucus, but they ought to be gracious enough to allow the Conservatives to select their own members. Mr. Richard Davies did not think that the Liberals would have any objection to the sug- gestion made. Mr. Vincent pointed out that so far, however, not a single Conservative had been nominated. and this did not impress one by a spirit of im- partiality on the part of the Liberals caucus. Mr. Richard Davies then gave notice to move at the next meeting that a selection committee be appointed for the purpose of drawing out annually a list of committees for the considera- tion of the Council. THE CONTROL OF EDUCATION. It appeared that only one Conservative had been nominated on the Education Committee, and Mr. Vincent said he regarded it as evidence that the Council were positively afraid of having any adverse criticism passed on their educational policy. He characterised the action of the cau- cus as being more tyrannical than that of any of their predecessors. Mr. C. E. Breese said that in this matter he found himself in agreement with Mr. Vincent. He objected to exclusive power being given to any portion of the Council in respect to education, which was a subject in which every elector, ir- respective of politics, had an inherent right to be represented. He gave notice to move at the next meeting that the whole of the County Council be constituted members of the Educa- tion Committee, and that a scheme to give effect to this resolution be prepared by the Clerk and submitted to the Council. Mr. Ivor Pryce joined in Mr. Vincent's pro- test. He regarded it also as a mistake to nomi- nate only one lady among the co-opted members of the Committee. (Cheers.) Mr. Vincent proposed the name of the Rev. William Morgan in substitution of one of the names already proposed on the Education Com- mittee, but this was defeated, and the original list was eventually carried. LABOUR EXCHANGE FOR CARNARVON. The Clerk communicated to the Council in- formation which had been received by the Car- narvon Town Council to the effect that the Board of Trade had decided to open a Labour Ex- change at Carnarvon. (Hear, hear.) SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHEME. Copies were laid before the meeting of resolu- tions passed at a meeting of Bangor ratepayers protesting against the further centralisation of authority involved in the new proposals of the Education Committee," and claiming to be heard before the Education Committee when the new proposals, in so far as they affected the Bangor district, were considered. Mr. Jones Morris moved that, in view of the fact that the replies of all the local Governors with regard to the new proposals had not yet come to hand, the consideration of the resolu- tions be deferred. Mr. Ellis W. Roberts seconded. Mr. Ivor Pryce, who explained that the criti- cism of the Bangor ratepayers was not passed in any captious spirit, moved that the resolu- tions be discussed forthwith. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Pozzi, but was defeated upon a division. Mr. J. R. Pritchard complained of the sneer- way in which the Bangor meeting had referred to the small shopkeepers and farmers of Lleyn," who constituted the Education Com- mittee.

Denbigh County Council. SIR WATKIN WYNN AND PARTY POLITICS. On Friday the annual meeting of the Denbigh- shire County Council was held at Wrexham, when 43 of the 51 elected representatives at- tended. Mr. A. O. Evans, Denbigh, the retir- ing Chairman, presided at the opening. NEW CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN. Mr. J. Roberts, Henllan, proposed the elec- tion of Alderman W. E. Samuel, Wrexham, as Chairman for the ensuing year. Alderman Samuel had been a member of the Council since its inception, and he believed very few of those present that day had been present at the first meeting. Alderman Samuel had been Vice- Chairman of the Council during the past year, and had been Chairman of the Main Roads Com- mittee for the Wrexham district for several years. He had also been a member of the Wrexham Town Council for over thirty years, and had passed the Mayoral chair. He therefore felt that the many public duties of Alderman Samuel should be recognised by the Council. Mr. J. Allen seconded, Mr. J. A. Chadwick and Mr. E. Lloyd Jones supported, and the motion was carried unanimously. In returning thanks, Alderman Samuel thanked the members for the great honour the Council had conferred upon him. It was the first time that a representative from Wrexham had occupied that important position, and he was sure the borough of Wrexham would appre- ciate the honour done to him. During the 21 years the. Council had existed the work had doubled, and it was therefore essential that the debates should be confined entirely within the Standing Orders, as the time at their disposal was quite little enough to do their work thorough- ly without bringing in outside questions. Mr. J. Fraser, Wrexham, moved the appoint- ment of Mr. Gomer Roberts, Ruthin, as Vice- Chairman. Mr. W. J. Williams, L'anrwst, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. The election of nine Aldermen was next pro- ceeded with, and the voting resulted as follows —Messrs. Simon Jones, Wrexham, 41 votes; Jonathan Griffiths, Rhos, 39; W. G. Dodd, Llangollen, 34; George Cromar, Rossett, 34; Boaz Jones, Denbigh, 33; Bennett Jones, Den- bigh, 32; E. W. Thomas, Corwen, 32; Christ- mas Jones, Cefn, 31 and T. H. Roberts. Ruthin, 30. The above were declared elected. All are Liberals. The following also received votes -Colonel Sandbach, 13 Messrs. J. Darlington, 11 A. E. Evans, 11 Colonel Wynne Edwards, 9; Messrs. Stanley J. Weyman, 9; C. C. Mott. 8; J. W. Lumley, 1 W. E. Sanuel, 1 R. Lloyd, 1 P. E. Storey, 1 and J. Williams, 1. A VACANT CORONERSHIP. The Clerk reported that the Coroner for West Denbighshire had recently passed away. He asked for instructions as to the filling of the vacant post. It was decided to refer the question to the Finance Committee with power to advertise for a successor. ELECTION OF EDUCATION COMMITTEE. A long discussion took place respecting the election of 36 members to act as the Education Committee for the county. Sir W. W. Wynn said he regretted that the new Council was running on such strong party lines so early in its existence. The Education Committee was the largest spending Committee, and as the powers of the Council had been dele- gated to that Committee the Council had abso- lutely no power over its expenditure. It was, therefore, essential that all parties should have a fair representation on such an important Committee. The T. Lloyd (Colwyn Bay) strongly re- seut.ed the remarks of Sir Watkin, while Mr. Edward Roberts, Brymbo, said that when mem- bers of a certain party had been appointed on the Committee, they had either refused to act or did not attend the meetings. The Committee, as proposed by Alderman E. Hughes, was eventually adopted, the majority being Liberals. The various other Committees were appointed, the most important being 12 representatives on the Standing Joint Committee. All the retiring members were re-elected. All these are Liberals.

English Congregationalist Churches. ANNUAL MEETINGS OF THE NORTH WALES UNION. The annual assembly of the North Wales English Congregational Union was opened at Newtown on Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. E. C. Hart, Penmaenmawr, presided. The report presented by the Secretary (the Rev. T. Lloyd, Colwyn Bay) recorded faithful work by the churches, but not many could re- port increased membership. A strong plea was entered for support to a central fund, whose ultimate aim was to secure an income of at least £ 120 per annum for all accredited ministers in charge, but its immediate aim was to increase the stipend to £100 for every such minister, and to make such further provisions for ministers in cities and towns as might be required by special circumstances. The churches in the North Wales Union, said the report, stood to benefit largely by the scheme. The Rev. J. j. Poynter, Oswestry, reported an intimation from the Central Aid Committee that there were isolated churches claiming individual grants which might, more profitably for their work and more satisfactorily for their ministers, be grouped together under one pastorate. Mr. T. Sauvage, Mayor of Wrexham, speaking on the Union's finances, remarked that lie would rather the Union carried on by the small contri- butions of many than by the large gifts of a few. The latter had been practically wiped out in their Union, and they must depend on demo- cracy. Mr. F. L. Rawlins, Rhyl, Treasurer, submitted a statement of accounts showing increased sub- scriptions, church offerings, and children's col- lections, and a balance of 126 in hand. Carnarvonshire Union had nominated Pro- fessor J. E. Lloyd as next year's Chairman, but Mr. P. Harding Roberts, Holywell, nominated by the Flintshire Union, was elected by a large majority. The Secretary and Treasurer were re-elected, and the following representatives appointed London Missionary Society Board, Mr. F. H. Hawkins, Wrexham Council of the Congrega- tional Union of England and Wales, the Rev. T. Lloyd, Messrs. F. H. Hawkins and P. Harding Roberts. Temperance Committee, Messrs. W. Thomas (Wrexham), W. Davies (Gwersyllt), C. Roberts (Corwen), E. A. Sainsbury (Holywell), and the Rev. Maurice James (Buckley). "THE PRICE OF THE PEOPLE'S BREAD." The Union accepted an invitation to hold next year's assembly at Wrexham. The Rev. E. C. Hart, Penmaenmawr, presided over the morning meeting on Thursday, and delivered his address on a Tennysonian line, Shadow and Sunshine is Life." While1 believing that the world could not go on without a touch of unhappiness, he ex- pressed conviction that there was far too much misery, pain, and unhappiness at present. There was something radically wrong about our social system. It produced a small clique of millionaires, landed aristocrats and trust magnates, who were able to control the markets and make corners in wheat, and raise the price of the people's bread. On the other hand it created the slum and the sweater's den, and placed the burdens of taxation upon the backs of the overburdened workers and traders. Most of the struggles of the world arose from the unequal distribution of the sun- shine and shadow-the difficulties of the rich and the poor, of employer and employed. The sun- shine was concentrated too intensely on certain people, and the shadow upon others. There was so much shadow and darkness in the world because God's day and sunshine had not fully dawned. There was light enough to irradi- ate the deepest valleys. The light must come, and it was the duty of all who knew anything of their Heavenly Father's love and light to do what they could to hasten the day of its coming. The Assembly sanctioned grants to various churches, making the following totals for the respective counties :-Montgomeryshire, £131; Denbighshire, £ 115 Merionethshire, £ 70 Flint- shire, £ 120; Carnarvonshire, £ 105. The Rev. J. J. Poynter (Oswestry) emphasised the seriousness of the financial position by say- ing that in order to make a grant of £ 300 to the North Wales Union and other grants through- out the country, the Church Aid Committee had had to withdraw £1,000 from their reserve fund. The Rev. D. Rees (Madagascar) gave an ac- count of missionary work in that island, and stated that their educational work there had been lately hampered, not through the influ- ence of Roman Catholicism, but by the spirit of the anti-clerical movement from France. The Rev. J. T. Miles, Wrexham, gave an ad- iress on lay preaching. He observed that pub- lic life was becoming more and more complex, their County and Town Councils and Education Committees were multiplying their meetings, and many a man who 40 or 50 years ago would be found in the week at the church meetings was to-day to be found at the committee meet- ings of those bodies. The institution of lay preaching had been hit almost harder than any other institution connected with the churches through that process. The Rev. J. D. Jones, Bournemouth. Chair- man of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, spoke on The Central Fund,' and I at night he preached the annual sermon.

Rhos Advertising Association. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. At, a public meeting held at Frost's Cafe, Rhos-on-Sea, on Friday evening, and presided over by Mr. A. M. Fowler, jun., all the recom- mendations of a specially appointed sub-com- mittee were unanimously adopted. It was de- cided that the organisation take the name of the Rhos-on-Sea and District Advertising Associa- tion, and that every subscriber of a shilling and upwards become a member of the Association. Messrs. Kay, Frost, Thorpe, and Owen Jones were authorised to solicit and collect subscrip- tions. A pamphlet will be prepared, the minoi mum charge for an advertisement being ne- shilling per five thousand copies. THE OFFICERS. Upon the proposition of Mr. Deakin, seconded by Mr. Clayton, Mr. A. M. Fowler, jun., was elect- ed Chairman amid manifestations of hearty ap- proval. Mr. Thorpe declined the office of Trea- surer, owing to the pressure on his time, and proposed Mr. Frost, who was seconded by Mr. Deakin, and appointed. There was only name that could fittingly be mentioned in connection with the post of Secretary, and Mr. Owen Jones, proposed by Mr. Frost, and seconded by Mr. Downes, was promptly elected to that position. The following were elected as the executive com- mittee, with power to add:-Messrs. Thorpe' Downes, Deakin, Aldred, Griffiths, Wood, Clay- ton, Newton, and Kay. The Secretary having explained the lines on which it was intended the pamphlet should be printed, it was decided to leave the matter with an advertising committee, to consist of Messrs. Wood, Thorpe, Deakin. and Aldred. THE MAY DAY FESTIVAL. The executive committee was appointed to arrange the May Day festival, with the assist- ance of a May Day committee, for which a large number of gentlemen were proposed with a view to their being approached on the matter. It was also decided to ask Mrs. Marsan and Mrs. Birch to form a ladies' committee in connection with the same event. A sports' committee, consisting of Messrs. Marsan, Downes, Griffiths, and Newton, was ap- pointed to make arrangements for a sports' meeting to be held on May Day. A GOOD START. Before the close of the meeting the sum of £ 7 Is. was in the Treasurer's hands.

Balaclava Concert at Colwyn Bay. On Wednesday evening, in the Public Hall, Colwyn Bay, a most successful patriotic concert was held through the kindness of Mr. Harry Reynolds, who arranged the event, and lent the hall for the occasion. There was a large and remarkably enthusiastic audience, including the local company of the Territorials who attended in uniform at the invitation of Mr. Reynolds. The musical programme was a very pleasing one, and the artistes included several well- known local performers. Mr. W. G. Blobley sang Duty's Call fBurwell), the composer accompanying, this item being loudly applauded. Miss Edith Shield was encored for a brilliant ren- dering of Daffodils are Here," and in reply, gave The Veteran's Song," Mr. Fred Nee, who must now be accounted the leading local humorist, was re-called for a patter sopg, and Mr. A. E. Bird, in response to an encore for "The Last Shot," recited Ostler Joe." A disappointment was in store ior the audi- ence when Mr. Llewelyn Jones, who attended at Mr. Reynolds' request to announce the ar- tistes, came forward to say that Mr. Reynolds was not feeling well enough to appear in person. but hoped that he might make amends by ap- pearing in the near future. (Applause.) Mr. Harry Barlow, baritone, was encored for his rendering of A Soldier's Song," and in re- ply gave Bid me to Love." Mr. James Bur- well performed his Territorial March," after which a fine film was shown entitled The Last Muster," which depicted the recent assembling of the Balaclava heroes. A collection was subsequently made on be- half of the Balaclava Fund, and realised £ 1 18s. 3d. Several other films were shown at intervals in the programme, and Mr. Reynolds was heartily received when he came on the stage to thank the audience for their presence. One half of the proceeds go to the Balaclava Fund and one half to the Colwyn Bay and'Dis- trict Advertising Association. Mr. Davies, at the piano, gave many excel- lent selections, as is his wont.

May Day Festivities. On Saturday afternoon Miss Esme Chandler was chosen to be crowned Queen of the May at Llandudno on Wednesday, May 4th. The Rhyl May Day festival will be held on Thursday, May 5th, and Miss Nansey Thomas, daughter of Mr. Phillip Thomas, High-street, has been elected May Queen.

pood Templary District. Meeting. By invitation of the St. Tudno Lodge, the quarterly session of the new district of the North Wales Court District Lodge of Good Templars was held on Wednesday of last week at the English Presbyterian School, Llandudno. Bro. Edward Jones, D.C.T., Grand Secretary, presided, representatives being present from Old Colwyn, Colwyn Bay, as well as Llandudno. Apologies for absence were received from re- presentatives from Rhyl and Rhoscolyn. A number of new members were received in an impressive manner. The District Chief Tem- plar presented an excellent report of aggressive work accomplished-including the opening or re-starting of new lodges at Holyhead and Car- narvon, and arrangements made for forming new branches at Llanddulas, Abergele, Ban- gor, and other places. Colwyn Bay Lodge were going ahead, most of the temperance workers in the town having joined the Lodge. The Dis- trict Secretary (Bro. J. E. Hilton) presented the quarterly report, which showed an increase in membership amounting to 45 per cent., Col- wyn Excelsior being a particularly large in- crease. The report of the District Electoral Superintendent, Bro. John .Owen, Colwyn Bay, showed that good work had been accomplished in this department. Vacancies in the officers were filled up by the appointment of Bro. D. C. Evans, District Superintendent of Juvenile Work, and Bro. Captain Treleaven, Treasurer. Arrangements were also made for future aggres- sive work, and the next quarterly meeting was arranged for Old Colwyn. During the interval, an excellent tea was partaken of at the Cafe Bijou, by the members and friends. A paper was read by Bro. John Owen (D.E.S.) on the best methods of extending the Good Templar Order in the district, which was of an helpful character. In the discussion which followed Bros. Hill (D.C.), Captain Treleaven, J. E. Hil- ton, R. J. Jones (Colwyn Bay), Savage (Old Colwyn), B. Lunt, Wheeley (L.D.), Sister Mrs. Griffiths, and others took part. Bro.

C.M.S. at Colwyn Bay. A meeting of the Colwyn Bay Association of the Church Missionary Society was held in the Church Room on Thursday evening. The Vicar, Canon Hugh Roberts, was in the chair and he was supported by the Rev. John Pritch- ard, the Rev. Griffith Matthews, Vicar of Pen- maenmawr, and Mr. Arthur Evill, Honorary Organising Secretary for North Wales, of Llan- fairfechan. In the course of the report presented by the Honorary Secretary, Mrs. Prior, Barberry Hill, it was stated that there were twenty collection boxes in circulation, this being an increase of eight on the previous year. Features of the year's work had been a visit of the Association's own missionary. Miss West, who addressed a drawing room meeting at Queen's Lodge, an afternoon meeting given by Canon and Mrs. Roberts, and a sale of work which realised £47 10s The canaries sent by the C.M.S. were sold for £7 18s. Id. The statement of accounts showed that on the year's working £ 79 5s. 9d. had been forwarded to the parent society. (Ap- plause.) The Chairman expressed his appreciation and sincere thanks to Mrs. and Miss Prior for their kindness in taking up the work (Hear hear.) The Rev. John Pritchard spoke of the Church's responsibilities to the heathen world. Those who best supported the work in the heathen lands were those who supported most liberally the work at home. The speaker dealt w 'th the wonderful spread of Christianity in recent years, and at the close of his address suggested that the local Association might take a leaf out of the book of the Sa'vation Army. and have a "elf-denial week. Those who had jewels at home might we'! dispose of them and send the proceeds to the C.M.S. Mr. F.vil' said it was the duty of all Christians to take up the work, and he quoted Archbishop Temp'e and B:shop Viestcott :n support of his plea for the support of missionary work. The Rev. Griffith Matthews said the amount of spiritual success in a parish was in exact pro- portion to the amount of interest taken in mis- sionary work. The Chairman thanked the speakers for their stimulating addresses, and the meet-ng closed with the singing of a hymn.

Cromlechau are to be found only in certain parts of Wales. There are cromlechau in con- siderable numbers in Anglesey, a fewer number in Carnarvonshire and West Merionethshire, but the county richest in these remains is Pem- brokeshire. There are some in Glamorgan, and one or two traces in Monmouthshire.

Tired Mothers and Corpulency Ladies who are too. stout and! wtoo feel so tared, breathless, and out of sorts, will find the pleasant, harmless, Antipon Treatment, not only a marvellously beneficial fat-reducing treatment, but afn unrivalled reatresngthieaiing and revitalising regime. It permanently cures Obesity, and tones up the entire system. Little Girl: Do come and play with us, Mamma. You never do now." Mamma: "No, my pet, I'm much too tired." (To herself) Oh, I must really take Antipon Where is the delight in life without health and vigour and the feeling of perfect comfort and ease from which very stout ladies are estranged? Even the exertions necessitated by everyday domestic affairs, pleasurable though, they should be, ber-orne too fatiguiaig, while healthy outdoor exercises are next door to impossible. These things should not be—need not be. POWERS OF ANTIPON. Of course there are a great many more moder- ately stout .Laddies than extremely stout ones, but it behoves the former to beware of a rapid de- velopment oif beauty's aTch-eTiem)--the disea-ge of obesity, an insidious affliction, which, in. many cases does not exhibit any alarming symptoms for years and then suddenly shows itself tout d'un coup. Antipon is a sure remedy. It cures obesity in any of its stages, and, cures it permanently. It cures it first because it roots out that tendency to grow fat which may only recently have discovered itself, or has perhaps given trouble for a long time past, and, second, because once the super. fluous fatty matter is ejected from the system by the wonderful reducing power of Anitipoo there is no further development of excess fat at any after period. The decrease varies from 8oz. to 31b. within the first day and night, ac- cording to the degree of stoutness. ANTIPON' AND STRENGTH AND BEAUTY. -vMes who have been. ,adclioted to partial srtarvartdon in order to keep down weight will appreciate this:-Anttpon entails no self-sacri- fices of that or any other sort. Since the ten- dency to over-fatness as overcome, where is the need to starve or drug or exercise any more? The Antipon treatment condemns such abuses, and offers every inducement to the subject to eat well. Amtipon, indeed, is a splendid digestive tonic, repairs poor appetites, and per- fects assimilation and nutrition. Strength and beauty return hand in hand during a course of tihe Anitapon treatment; every part of the body—face, form, figure—regains beauty of contour; the limbs regain their firm- ness and shapeliness; the skin, {upon which Antipon acts tonically) is purified and the com- plexion recovers the hues of perfect health. Antipon is sold in bottles, price 2s. 6d. and 405. 6d., by Chemists, Stores, etc. or may be had (on sending nemittainice), privately packed, carriage paid, direct from the Antipon Company, Olmaf-atieet, London, S.E.
