1 CHARGE AGAINST A DOG DEALER…
1 CHARGE AGAINST A DOG DEALER AT LLANDUDNO. At the LlandudnoJ^Police Court on Thurs- day, before Mr Rob*, Roberts, a young man named William Ba was charged with obtaining £3 from bses Williams by means of false pretences. Ibispector Griffith applied for a. remand, and elated that the accused advertised that he d two Pomeranian pup- pies for sale. The prosecutor, Moses Williams, who was an outside Jftoiiter at Llandudno, an- swered the advertiseiientj and asked for par- ticulars. In reply 1% received a letter from y the prisoner, in which the dogs were described as being black all wer. The prisoner also stated that they werqpif a specified weight, and that numbers of people had applied for them, so that if Williams 'aesired to have them he must send on the money at once. In conse- quence of this comnxunication, the prosecutor sent a telegraphed ,I1°11éy order for R3, and afterwards received/.the dogs, but they were found to have whitsllots all over them; they were double the staled weight, and in, other ways they did not cpmE up to the description. Williams wrote to the address at Faversham, .1, London, which the .prisoner had given, but he received no reply. i'He returned the animals, but, as he could gJt, no satisfaction, he com- municated with tliv. police, land the accused was arrested. Bacfh stated that the dogs were now dead. Ajremand was granted.

Bircham, Local Government-Jfeoard Inspector, in which, replying to the cliftk, he advised the visiting frequently and oiispinexpected occasions of all outdoor paupers riring it, the restriction of relief to short peri«as, and division of the per- manent cases into afetions, one of which should come up for renewal each Board'-day, the guardians being finished with a list of such cases before the ard-day.

The qimstion of jteeping a diary of work done was aljjja important, if it were kept thoroughly and a^urately.J He believed an officer devoting t whole Jf his time to relief work and holdingio ot,he appointment what- ever would probabft be oflmuch service to the guardians, especij^y see g how seldom the guardians met. bokin at the fairly pros- perous condition, tt all ents for a great pou- tion of the year, otgjjtaostlparts of the union, he should have though tlilt one of the least p^pejSsed* unions in Wales. In view of the r$|ire|neiH xjn, .pensixm :of Mr» Jesse Jones, the f$l|eving officer for Llan- dudno, Colwyn Bat tf., the Clerk reported that the average saSffy Mr Jones had received per annum during, Ie last three years' for re- lief work and his ties as collector, vaccin tion officer, and registrar of births and deaths, was £ 225. Someillssion occurred as to the best procedure Mv ffiecuring the future per- formance of M^Joks's duties, some of the guardians favomring»the sub-division of the appointment, thajfcthere should be two re- lieving offic^, oneifor Llandudno and the other for Cfflwyn If £ .y, with one registrar. Other menders thouiht that a registrar should be appoiiMBsd for Llwidudno and another for Colwyn JBay. with ie relieving officfcr for the entup district. M was ultimately resolved to adjourn the quest 1 until the advice of the Local government rd had been obtained. i'f Conway Aral Council. '$o' SERIOUS FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. Iif' 'J: t Mr D. R. Davies, ir he absence of the chair- man presided on Fri over a meeting of the Conway Rural Dist "Council. ri On a proposal to ccfcfirin the minutes of the last meeting, Mr J. f Raynes initiated a cussion on the propowfl sewerage-^api^avter Llysfaen. It I had been resolved at lie last meeting to for- ward plans to the Loml Government Board, with an application a loan. It now ap- peared that while the'- N-liole assessable value of the district intends to be served by the new scheme was oiil 6,000, the amount of loan required for the Witer supply would be £ 8,34-2, and for sewer works L2,765, and with a loan already standing for other pur- poses of R2,500, the tot was 913,607. The Clerk, questions, said a local inquiry would be field in due course, at which any objections to: 't-ie schemes would be heard, and in any casefthe matter would not be carried through for Jmother six months. I It was resolved that tters go on pending inquiry. s Reference was made the proposed laying down of a new main by'J the Cowlyd Water Board, which would en^il further liabilities upon the associated distjkts. Mr Hugh Owen pointed out that the new main would not bring waer to :the higher por- tions of Llysfaen, as thè!. elevation was too high for the present ofwater. Mr Raynes explained tiat it was one of the conditions that the sehiime for a new main should include a pumfeng station, which would bring the water tQrthe highest levels of Llysfaen. fa Mr Hugh Owen expr^sed some scepticism as to the benefits whichJLlysfaen would enjoy under the Cowlyd sche.e. The Sanitary Inspector reported one fatal case of scarlet fever in je district. The medi- cal officer's report for dle month showed the death-rate in the, Glan tonway district to be 15.8 per 1,000, and in rtje Conway district 11.2 per 1,000. Three cases fef scarlatina were re- ported during the nioiitt. A T Welsh Raillay Scheme. — SHORT ROUTE T(| ABERYSTWYTH. It is stated that a Loi|clon company, of which Mr Soloman Andrews i one of the chief pro- moters, has been fornied for the, jmrpose of taking over the Dina* Mawddwy Railway, which is now closed t<| passenger traffic. The line starts at Cemmae| Road, at which place the Cambrian passes, and runs to D inas Maw7ddwy, a village noted for its traffic in slate. From this pcsiit it is proposed to con- tinue the line for twg|ve miles to Llanuwchj- llyn, wlire it will j oinfit he Great Western Rail- way. The journey trom Manchester and Liverpool to, Aberystwyth will thus be very materially shortened.

To + Editor. gir,—Surprise ha|te<- been expressed at the asseveration that Siey Cooper saw Edmund Kean in the "Merchant of Venice." The. fact is that not only dilute see him perform in it, but rehearse it. |&oper, then a lad, was in Hastings at the tÜje, painting the drop-scene for the theatre. fwhile so engaged, entered Kean into conversltion with him. This was in 1819. The greatltragedian died in 1834. Up to that happening, they maintained their friendship, off aii(Pon. Cooper made i^in way to be present when Kean actedjpis principal characters on the London boardp, and .speaks of his represen- tations as inimtble, and of him as the greatest actor he ifer saw at any period of his life. The buddinf artist was quite enamoured of the fully developed actor. Cooper describes Kean as of ever#diminutive stature, which physical deficiefey vanished directly he opened his mout% His- detractors termed him "the little gipsjgman." Mrs Siddons herself is alleged to hav||feaid that there was too little of him ever to iiia|ike a good actor. All this sort of thing s1.-kad abroad before his his- trionic success assured. He played as im- portant a part i||Jthe history of the stage, as Cooper played ij the history of the art of painting throu^^ut the nineteenth century. The two contrasfj^l in other respects.

LLA-NDUDN EET-NUISANCES. Tte Editor- Sir,—Duriipp^^ne Reason, now drawing too soon close, K-orrespoiident,s have had justiflcation^-for writing to complain of the remissness of; "#he District Council. Sins of omission and s £$e of commission have they been accused of" and have incurred the penalty of displease from their constituents. For one thing they, have not always (as they should do) sent rdapd the watering cart, or sprinkler, to use a ^ankeeism, or water-van, as Llanududno Supe^tors' have officially painted on its side. Inconsequence, the dust re- 7 quired to be laid swirled along in eddying gusts, when high.y^rinds prevailed. Pressure, at intervals, considerably improved matters, for a brief space. «This was earlier on in the season. Latterly, sdijaetimes heaps of dust and garbage, swept by £ ;.« brisk dry breeze, have been seen beneath t4ie verandahs, accumulated there. Such piles of wa|e paper, and something a lot worse, lock ba#: at. any time of the year, and in any weathjgf. They look unusually bad on Sundays, m. shop-shutters, window- blinds, and cuitain^the-n give a sombre cast to each and ever thoroughfare. Trifling attentions, or inattentions, as the case may be, make a marked dil^rence to the aspect of a place. To a seasitSfc-spot of the beauty of Llandudno they all the difference imaginable. To it. 4fby might be a valuable asset. The truth ofllhose words lies in their application. For ulJubtedly the grumblings and protests coinii-i -froin visitors, whilst in our midst, or afterds, give us to see how deeply they resent government of the town bearing analo^^o that of the fat-headed rulers of Little PedKpftgton. The latest to use, effect, this language is a person of distinctfire professional standing, one predisposed admiration of this "queenly" part, and'^ijb visiting it and re-visit- ing it year by year. l-|l is the express image of his idea and ideal ofta holiday resort. Nor will his taste be calli. in question. For Llan- dudno, like the surrounding scenery, holds itself well. Yet delighting as he does, like others whose number Is legion, to get near tl;^ sea-water of this Bay,%e is by no means blind, but, contrarily, open^B-eyed to the faults and shortcomings brougholl through th remis- ness ahove-mentione^. And he Ia only one man, not reckoning |cmen, out of hundreds animated by the same feelings of dissatisfac- tion. In addition to objecting to nothing worthy the name bing done to quickly re- move mixed refuse,ithe offensive smell it causes is considered/most. detrimental fo the town's repute. It i" therefore, a matter of more than passing interest. The long and short of that matter',is: the ratepayers should, of set purpose, reme'dy the ill. Yours, etc., GALE. Llandudno, October 8th.

WTliy not a Magnefjgm and Electricity Class. This would be an importunity for somebody to add to their incoiM, and would be the means of keeping manypa youth from going astray in search of a dfeert-issement from which he is not likely to JSenefit, either from an educa- tional or peeiMiary point of view. Much has been done il^ past winters by different churches and hapels amongst their own flock, but whaMbout those who do not belong to any denon|||iation ?

Beyond a "tew party" in connection with some Church jf Chapel, what other institution is there? I kn»v of only one, and that is bil- liards.

CIGARETTEII SMOKING BY BOYS. the Editor• Sir,—A genial SjProfessor once remarked to his students: '&noke away, gentlemen, it does not annoy Me in the least. I look on tobacco in the sfiEne light as hay. I don't eat it myself, but I ke to see others enjoy it." If everyone regard the weakness of his fellow- men in the sa unselfish light as this Pro- fessor, what a lfeppy world this would be! The Professor m question, never, I should imagine, was i- Llandudno: at all events, if he was at the ppsent time, and saw the rising generation indtabing in cigarettes, he would have somthing tronger to say. What the parents of thesafyoungsters are doing to allow it, I cannot cfeceive. That this pernicious habit is not co ned to Llandudno I am per- fectly aware, ■ is unfortunately on the in- crease in everyfkown in Great Britain. The dangers of theSpractice are sufficiently fami- liar not to iie emphasising. What is the reason for it? have looked into the matter carefully, and S have come to the conclusion that it is the fctchy inducements in the shape of photograpl of famous generals, foot- ballers, and Ipeketers. In another instance an insurance (Jbpon; for £ 100 if killed by train or tram, etc., #L. be paid to your nearest rela- tive; and £ lojp>r yourself if the accident is not fatal.
