OUR CHILDREN.
OUR CHILDREN. —— Few of the gentler pex, and more especially those who are motheff, will have read without feelings of dismay and pity the sad cases of cruelty to children whicli appear in our daily papers day after day.; That there should be parents of good positipn in life so inhuman as to endanger the lives of their children is most abhorrent and sickening. One can hardly blame a half starved Creature who helps him- self to food and clothing in order to keep his wife and children fropi suffering the gnawing 1 11 n pangs of hunger, yet, this is by far the most general case brought before the magistrates, whilst, unfortunately, there is a class of t parents who are possibly earning from £2 to £ ?> a week who are not brought to justice, although committing a far more serious and revolting crime in the eyes of the world. Those who take an interest in the N.S.P C.C. have found out how great a mistake it is to assume that pareiiti are always the best and kindliest custodians of their children it is, unfortunately, a stubborn fact that there are thousands of poor, helpless little children who ought to be rescued from their unnatural mothers aud brutal fathers, did the funds of the society allow -N t,lic meantime, they are doing a splendid* wo, and what are we doing to help the N.XP.C.C. ? Sympathy alone is practical If usele^. Xow that atten- tion has been dir&ted to% local case, indig- nation is aronl, t,4c offenders are punished in someMshioy for^feeir brutality, but it is as well tjtpoiny out thl^i there are other cases equalMas appalling, that at pre- sent have "notice by tfie society, though well knoln to the^feighbouring mothers who niildy render no real aid to the sdfiety wlio.se melancholy duty it is to bring *»e offenders to justice. Though in many cites when the offenders have been dealt with, how inadequate has been the sentence on these child torturers, how ludicrously unequal is English justice. Men, women and children are heavily punished for merely begging in the streets, whilst the father and mother, who had mal- treated and neglected their baby sons and daughters are only fined a paltry few shillings, and in many instances no admonishment of any kind from the bench is given. In the columns of a Liverpool contemporary on Monday evening, a case was stated where a man was fined 10s. and costs, or fourteen days, for kicking a donkey, and yet accord- ing to our local bench it is not a more serious crime to cause unnecessary suffering for months, to three or four children. Read the accounts in your weeklies week by week and it will be seen that the same rule prevails throughout the kingdom, the reports of the N.S.P.C.C. becomes more lengthy and its details more revolting year by year, whilst we are assured that poarhinj is steadily on the decrease. The N.S.P.C.C. needs money, but it should also have a fair measure of justice meted out; cruelty of all kinds, more especially to children, should be punished with the utmost severity, and who wiji admit that some of the punishments inflicted upon these heartless creatures are at all adequate to the crime.

FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. THE SWIFTS RESERVES CARNARVON RESERVES. The above teams met on the ground of the latter in a Welsh Cup-tie, on Saturday last, October 16th. The result of two goals each must be very gratifying to the home committee, who hardly expected such a result; a defeat of a couple of goals was more generally antici- pated consequently, the return game sheuld prove a source of attraction to the supporters and public generally. A protest has been lodged against Jim Jones, but I cannot see that it will be sustained. True, he has played in a Senior Cup-tie, but that was in the quali- fying round of the English Cup, and cannot for one moment see how that can be sufficient to debar him playing for a junior eleven in a Welsh Cup. The Bangor committee have decided to play their Cup-tie against the Swifts on the latter's ground, and art it is set down for Saturday next, a gala day may be expected. The visitors have been in strict training all week. and are sure to give a good account of them- selves. Their weakest spot is the defence, and that is. fortunately, one of the Swifts' strongest. Given a tine day, there will be a monster attendance. Whether it was a wise proceeding on the part of the Bangor committee to engage a match with Blackburn Rovsrs' Reserve on the Wednesday preceding, or for the Swifts to play Liverpool on the same day, is open to question. One thing i certain, neither team would risk much, and the games in consequence would be a bit tame. The Rhyl Amateurs journeyed to Bangor on Satur- day, to meet the Citizens in a League fixture, and were decisively defeated by six goals to none. In the first round of the North Wales Junior Cup, last Saturday, the Bangor Juniors dct maen Swifts by four goals to one.

MOUNTAINEERING.
MOUNTAINEERING. The winter season of this popular pastime has com- menced, last Thursday being the opening day. The weather, unfortunately, was anything but propitious, and out of a possible fiftees. only three turned up: even the newly-elected skipper was absent, and, in con- sequence, resigns his post. The route taken was by train to Llanfairfechan, from where the ascent of Foel Fras was accomplished, after which Yr Elen was ascended, the party returning to Aber over Moel Wnion. A halt was made at the Bulkeley Arms Hotel, where host Eustance showed us round the premises have been considerably altered and improved, and the impression made on the club was that this is the spot in future mountaineering trips, to make for, the tariff being very reasonable, and a more convenient hostelry as a centre for the hills could not possibly be found. Pressing on, we reach Bacgor in time for dinner, at which we were joined by an old hand at the hills, and finally reached Llandudno at I-I.-J, and, despite the elements, fairly dry, thanks to being well shod. The next outing will ù. duly announced in these columns. Applications for membership should be made to the honorary and indefatigable secretary, Mr W. Wood, The Hawthorns. Llandudno.

FsifKK-MAX.—I should be very pleased to relate vour story in these columns, bn I am anxious that there should lie every semblance of the truth in my X ote" and I am very much afraid it would be too tishy to be believed.

PRIMROSE LEAGUE FETE AT LLANDUDNO. Ou Saturday, a jfrand Jubilee fete was held at Riviere's Concert all and grounds, Llandudno, in connection with the Gloddaeth, Mostyn, Colwyn Bay, and Llanfairfechan Habitations of the Primrose League. The afternoon consisted of bicycle gymkhana, and rustic sports in tha, grounds, which were very well patronised, and the Gloddaeth Silver Band played selections of music during the afternoon. A number of members availed" themselves of Lady Augusta Mostyn's kindness in the throwing open Gloddaeth Hall for public inspection. Tea was served at the Opera House, and was followed \by an enterte*^mertt, over which the Hon. Henry LWvd Mostyaprc&led. The spacious hall was packed. Am those on t platform were the Mayor of ConwS^L Councillor J^W:ham. and Mr. R.

Llandudno Police Court. --
Llandudno Police Court. On Monday, before Messrs. Kneeshaw (chairman), T. Barker, Ephraim Wood, J. Allanson Picton and Dr. Bold Williams. STRAYING HORSES. David Williams and David Roberts were charged with allowing their horses to stray on the highway on the lothinst. Defendants stated in defence that they paid rent to the Llandudno Urban Dis- trict Council for allowing their horses to graze on the Commissioners' field, but owing to defective gates, the animals were able to get on the public highway. Both defendants wgre fined is. and costs, the Chairman remarking that they could apply for damages against the Council. Williams: Is the Doctor preferring to Dr. Bold Williams^ one of them ? — (Laughter.) Dr. Bold Williams: No, I am not. A SQUABBLE. Evan Williams, Plas Road, appeared to answer a summons charging him with assaulting John Jones, of the same locality, on the 16th of August last. There was also a cross-summons charging John Jones with assaulting Evan Williams at the same time and place. Mr. E. E. Bone appeared for Jones, and Mr. Corbett defended Williams. It appeared from the evidence that as John Jones was leaving his father-in-law's house on the date in question, he saw Williams accompanied by his brother and other members of his family, and a squabble ensued, during the course of which both men alleged they were assaulted. After hearing the evidence on both sides the Bench dismissed the cases. CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN. Francis and Margaret Bromley, Pros- pect Terrace, were charged on the in- formation of Inspector Rowland, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, with neglecting their four children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary pain and suffering. Mr. S. Dew, Bangor, prosecuted, and Mr. Corbett defended. Mr. Dew, in opening the case, said the male defendant was fifty-two years of age, and the female defendant only, twenty-five. From the evidence he would call he thought the magistrates would have no difficulty in arriving at the con- clusion that the house was in a filthy condition and the children grievously neglected on and before the 13th of September, the day the place was visited by the Inspector and Dr. Davies. Inspector John Rowland, R.S.P.C.C., gave evidence that he paid a visit to the house in which the defendants and their four children lived, on the 13th of Sep- tember. He there examined the children, who ranged^ti^lnges from ten years to seven months, an<J-found that they were suffering from itch and eczema. A girl named Isabiftija also swollen glands on her neck, an was fjirther suffering from an abscess WhDr Davies, who accom- panied him, lacked^ The eldest boy was partly covefed ash mantle, and the girl Isabella lad no clothing except a sheet. The tWo ower children were also in a very dirty but Fore some articles of clothing When hQicalled the mother's attention to the articles covering the two first-named childrej £ and asked her why they were wearing no clothing, she said the boy had burnt his clothes the previous Saturday, and that Isabella's were being washed. Witness afterwards proceeded to examine the beds and bed- ding, which were also in a filthy state, and the smell arising from them was simply unbearable. Three of the children and the parents slept in one room, but the eldest boy slept with a lodger in another apartment, which was somewhat cleaner. The male defendant was a joiner earning thirty shillings per week, and part of the house was let to lodgers, from whom they obtained six shillings and four shillings per week respectively, making up a total income of £2 per week. In the cupboard was some bread, butter and part of a sheep's head. When witness asked the female defendant why she did not provide more clothing, she replied that her hus- band wanted beer for his dinner and tea, and she did what she could for the children. He afterwards paid another visit to the house a few days later, and found a little improvement in the general condition, but even then it left much to be desired. Witness was cross-examined at con- siderable length by Mr. Corbett, who elicited from him that the children had been well fed and now looked fairly healthy. Dr. Davies was then called and gave evidence corroborating the statement of the previous witness. He thought the children must have been neglected for nearly a year, judging from their condi- tion. When her" entered the sleeping apartment, he had to retire quickly owing to the strong odour arising from the bedding. By Mr. Corbett The children were in a much better condition now. It de- pended upon the constitution of the woman if she was able to look after them, but, in his opinion, she should have been able to have done so, and ordinary care had not been exercised by her. By the Chairman If she had not been in good health, she might have procured assistance with the-means at her disposal. In reply to Dr. Bold Wrilliams, witness stated that he had known instances where swollen glands and eczema had arisen from other causes than neglect, but in the present case there was every appearance of neglect that must have continued for many months. Francis Beswick, labourer at the Gas- works, stated that he lived in. a cottage adjoining that occupied by defendants. He noticed that during the past two years the children were very dirty and badly clothed, but a masked improvement had taken place in their appearance during the past six weeks. By Mr. Corbett He thought the male defendant was a respectable working-man. Sarah Owen, another neighbour, also cave similar evidence to the la.st witness, and alleged that the female defendant often beat the girl Isabella without cause. By Mr. Corbett: She had seen the female defendant beat the girl Isabella, and, in her opinion, this was unnecessary to correct a child only three years of age. Witness had occasionally seen the man in drink, but not more often than a good many others. Mr. Corbett then addressed the Bench for the defence, contending that the female defendant had suffered from ill-health, but, nevertheless, had done all that she could to attend to the children. Pointing to the four children, who were present in Court, the advocate declared they were in good health, and asked the magistrates to dis- miss the charges, as these were trivial cases, and should never have been brought into Court. After privately considering the evidence, the Chairman stated the Bench had de- cided to convict in both cases, but as these were not such bad cases as many that had been brought before them, defendants would only be fined los. and costs each. A CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN DISMISSED. George and Elizabeth Pritchard, re- siding as lodgers in the house of defen- dants in the last case, were then charged with cruelly neglecting their five children in a manner calculated to cause them un- necessary bodily suffering. Mr. Dew prosecuted, and Mr. Corbett defended. Inspector Rowland, R.S.P.C.C., stated that on the 13th of September he visited the house in which defendants lived, and examined the children, whom he found suffering from itch, and in their hair were a large number of knits. Their bodies were well nourished, and they were fairly well clothed. The whole family occupied only two rooms, one of which was used both as a living and sleeping apartment. These, however, were in not quite such a dirty condition as those occupied by the family in the other.pan of the house. The husband was a plumber earning 32s. per week, and the woman had informed him that she frequently. earned ten to twelve shillings weekly as a charwoman. The eldest son also earned 10s. per week. Cross-examined by Mr. Corbett: He did not complain of the number of clothes the children were wearing, nor did he know that they attended St. George's Sunday School regularly, in proof of which Mr. Corbett produced the attendance cards. He should have thought that their appearance would have been noticed by the teachers and scholars at that school. After Dr. Davies had given evidence corroborating the statement of Inspector Rowland, the Chairman informed Mr. Corbett that it was unnecessary for him to review the cases for the defence, as the Bench had decided to dismiss both charges. NIGIW^F^CFH^PHING AT GLODDAETH. W7.$Villiam& Hugh Williams and Hugh Jones, tnltee young men, all of Penrhynside, we charged with night poachrttg in the grqfonds of Lady Augusta Mostyn n of October gth. Mr. e, whef prosecuted, said he believed e defeflfBants Wtuld admit the offence, so. atAfiere wasylittle need of his going very minutelv,into the facts, v/hich were, brieflyras*'follows:—Whilst going their rounds, two gamekeepers saw the defends in Gloddaeth Woods, and knowing th had no right to be there, went towards defendants, who at once took to their heels, but were eventually caught by the keepers, who found three dead rabbits in their possession and another lying on the ground close to the spot where they were first seen. They were also in possession of snares and nets. The men asked the keepers to let them go and promised not to go into the woods again for a similar purpose; Mr. Bone added that Lady Augusta Mostyn did not wish to press the charge. After one of the keepers had given evidence, the magistrates only fined the accused 5s. and costs, there having been no previous conviction against them. BEGGING. A man, who gave his name as George Rainford, was charged with begging in Llandudno, but a. penalty was not inflicted upon his promising to leave the town immediately. SHOP BREAKING AT LLANDUDNO. John Brookes, Taliesin Street, and William Hughes, Cwlach Street, two young lads, were charged with breaking and entering a hut on the 7th of September, situated on the beach at Craigydon, and stealing from there a quantity of sweets, cigarettes, and cigars, the property of Richard Williams, Pen- rhynside. Mr. Corbett defended. After Superintendent Rees had stated the charge, Richard Williams gave evidence that he left the premises securely fastened on the night in question, but upon return- ing next morning found that they had been entered and his goods lying about in great confusion. He valued the articles missed at between eight and nine shillings. Annie Jones, Craigydon, aged 15, stated that she, in company with another girl, met the lads outside Mr. Burton's, at the junction of Mostyn and Lloyd Streets, about eleven o'clock on September 7 th. They then went together in the direction of the Little Orme and sat on the beach after about a quarter of an hour Brookes said Let us break into that old hut," but witness tried to dissuade him, nevertheless, he shortly after got up and the others followed. When Brookes reached the hut, he asked Hughes to hold some matches in order to give him light, whilst he proceeded to cut away the woodwork of the door and force an entrance. Both defendants entered the hut, and when they came out gave witness and her frieads some sweets and cigarettes. Brookes told them not to say anything about what they had done. Sarah Owen, Penygwaith, aged 15, gave similar evidence to the last witness, but added that Annie Jones held the matches. P.S. Griffith said he saw defendants on the 15th inst., and asked them to account tor themselves on the night of the 7th ot September. Brookes then admitted that they broke into the hut. They were afterwards formally charged by P.C. James. Both defendants were committed to take their trial at the Quarter Sessions on Thursday, bail being allowed Hughes on finding two sureties in {20. each and himself in {10. CHARGE OF BREAKING INTO A CYCLE SHOP. A further charge was then heard against Brookes, of breaking into the shop of Mr. Ratcliffe, Gloddaeth Street, and stealing a sum of {26. 18s. on the 8th of October. Mr. Ratcliffe gave evidence that on the night referred to he had securely locked his premises, butl found, upon entering the following morning, that the shop had been entered ancq the money extracted from the office and! till. P.S. Griffith sa d he charged the de- fendant on the iith inst., with stealing the money from Mi. Ratcliffe's shop, when he replied that if witness would go with him to his home in Taliesin Street, he would show him here the money was hidden. The offiqer accompanied him, when Brookes we}lt into the yard, at the back of the tyouse, and took from between the top o £ the wall and the roof of an outhouse £ 22) 10s. They had since recovered a few nijore shillings, making altogether £ 23. 7s. I Brookes was alsaicommitted -to take his trial upon this change at the forthcoming vg Quarter Sessions, Qail being allowed in 0 two sureties of £ 40, each and himself in £10.

DEGANWY SCHOOLS. At a E leeting of the school managers of Deganwy on Monday, under the presidency of Lord ostyn, it was decided that if called for, suital le schools should be built at Llan- dudno Ju iction.

Holed dyn ef ei hun." ? —o— Mewn dull meistrolgar cyfeiriodd Mr. Jones at hanes Martin Luther, fel y darfn i'r gwr da hwnw, ar ol darlleb y Bcibl rhydd, gael ei lanw a'r egwyddorio^. rhydd a gynwysai, ac fel y parodd y rhai hyny ddyhead cryf yn ei galon i gael ei gyd-oeswyr i fwynhau yr un rhyddid a gwybodaetty gogoneddus. "Rhodd- af i chwi Feibl rhydd, meddai Luther, ac fe ddyry Beibl rhydd i chwi grefydd rydd, a bydd i grefydd rydd ddwyn oddiamgylch ddynion rhyddion, oymdeithas rydd a mwy sanctaidd, ac adlewyreha y cwbl ar yr holl wlad." Beth sydd ynH ? Dun ond Pabydd —gwr oedd wedi cerdded pob cam o'r ffordd yn ol daliadau y Pab,o Rufain—wedi dysgu meddwl a gweithredu;drosto ei hun yn unol ag egwyddorion y Beibl.

Gwir nas gellir cyfiawnhau pobpeth a wnaeth Caliin yn ngoleu ein hoes ni.- Llvwodraethai a Raw gadarn—o'r braidd nd ootid yn ormesdeyrn. Oiid cofier yr oes yr oedd yu byw ynddi. Oddiar y safbwynt hwnw cododd Calfin aelotlati cymdeithas i fod yn ddynion a dinas- yddion rhydd dysgodd hwy i edrych yn sanctaidd a pharchu^ar y rhyw fenywaidd, a daethpwyd i edryclV&r "delluyddiadh" fel y dylid edrych arno. A gatwyd hyn trwy v yr egwyddorion a gpleddid yn yr oes hono y Xa "id trwy na^ offeren, 11a convent, na ('hanhwyllau gwer 11a brwyn, y dygwvd y wlad oedd yn gorwedd mewn tywyllwch ac ofergoeledd, i olouni, ond yn hytrach trwy ddwyn y bobl i ddarllen Beibl rhydd, ac yna i hoii eu huimin a oedd y bnvyd unigol a ehymdeithasol arweinid gan- ddynt yn dod i fyny a'r safon dyn rhydd yn gyntaf, ymt cymdeithas rydd, wedi hyny crefydd rydd a pharch i'r ddynoliaeth. Mae'r naifl yn rhwym o ddilyn y lIall. Unwaith y daw dyn i ddysgu parchu cymdeithas, mae yn sicr o ddilyn y daw i barchu yr unigolyn. Unwaith yr edrychir yn barchus ar deulu- yddiaeth, rhaid o angenrheidrwydd barchu y fenyw. Mac hyn oil wedi ac yn cael ei ddwyn oddiamgylch gan egwyddorion syl- faenol Pen Mawr yr Eglwys. Dyna sydd yn lefeiuio cymdeitlms, ac ullwaith y collir golwg I ar hwnw aiff pobpeth 0 chwith. r Yn ngwyneb hyn, pa ryfedd i'r darlithydd galluog roddi pwyslais neillduol ar Babydd- iaeth a Defodaeth, a nodi allan ddvledswydd Anghydffurfwyr yn ngwyneb hyny." Pa beth ydyw y ddyledswydd ? Cadw mewn cof yr egwyddorion ag yr ymladdwyd cymaint er eu henill gan ein cyn-dadau egwyddori yr oes sydd yn codi yn drwyadl yn y cyfryw, a gofalu am gadw Beibl ac eglwys rvdd yn y wlad. Os bydd yr egwyddorion yn gyfeil- iornus ac yn bydredig, mae hyny yn rhwyrn o lefeinio yr unigolyn a chymdeithas i'r un cyflwr. Os bydd cyflwr cymdeithas heb fod yn iach, canlyniad naturiol hyny fydd i len- yddiaeth afiach a phwdr gael ei ledaenn a'i gyhoeddi yn ein mysg. Ond cyhyd ag y bydd i Anghydffurfwyr yr oes ofalu am gadw Beibl rhydd ac eglwys rydd yn y wlad, a hyfforddi y to sydd yn codi yn yr egwyddorion a ddysgir yn yr Ysgrythyr, cyhyd a hyny y sancteiddir dynoliaeth trwy gyfrwng y Bersoniaeth a gynddrychiolir gan Pen Conglfaen yr Eglwys. Holed dyn ef ei hun," a gweithreded yn unol ag egwyddorion a dysgeidiaeth ei gydwybod dyna y llys- uchaf, a dyna y llys cywiraf a gonestaf y gall dynolryw apelio ato; ond iddo wneyd hyny ni bydd i flaenffrwyth yr oes gael eu hyd- ddenu gan bob awel dysgeidiaeth. —o— Terfynodd Mr. William Jones ei ddarlith odidog yn nghanol cymeradwyaeth gwresocaf un o'r cynulleidfaoedd mwyaf astud a brwd- frydig a welsom yn ein tref er's llawer dydd, ac ar gynygiad y Parch.

Cambrian Mineral Waters. -':
Cambrian Mineral Waters. HIGH AWARD AT SCARBOROUGH. The Ruthin Soda Water Company is evidently determined to stand in the first rank with their noted mineral waters. Some few months ago, a sample of their soda water, ginger ale and hop bitters, were sent for competition and analysis at the Scar- borough Exhibition. There were several hundred competitors, but we are glad to understand that the "Ruthin Cambrian Waters were considered to be of such fine quality as to deserve the Exhibition Di- ploma, a certificate for which has already been received at the company's office. The Ruthin Cambrian Mineral Waters have for many years maintained a very high reputa- tion amongst all classes, and the opinion of some ofilre"st authorities have always been fa. "ou ra ble. "As long ago as the year 1880, Dr. C. R. Francis, Principal of the Mtfdical College at Calcutta, writing in the iqrfian Magazine, on the best mode of pos- sessing health in India, said "That amongst the best soda.atey,jjold was that supplied tbeRuthin Soda Company from an aij|esian spring in the Yale.of Clwyd." And tl^j) value of tnis ojpSnion is accentuated by th»,|act fchat Dr. Francis was, and is. a total to the,company. During the inter- veritpg^ewrs fhe company have made every effort to maintain the high quality of their waters, and their latest triumph at the Scarborough Exhibition no doubt be a source of pleasure and satisfaction to their numerous patro, The above facts are also very encO>^agmg to the company, as they have no neecNw iny false puffing to prop up their enterprise.
