IDEATH OF MR ASSUETON-SMITH.…
I DEATH OF MR ASSUETON-SMITH. | BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Wei regret to annouce the death of Mr G. W. D. Assheton-Smith, of Vaynol Park, Carnarvonshire1, which took place on Tues- day evening. Mr Asshetou-Smith was born in May, 1848, and was the eldest son of the late- Captain R. G. Duff, of Wellington Lodge, Isle of Wight, hisi mother being a niece of the late, Mr Thomas Assheton-Smith. He was educated at Eton and. Christ Church, Oxford. He succeeded to the, estates of Vaynol .and the Dinorwic Quarries! in May, 1859, under the will of his great aunt, Mrs Assheton-Smith, and. on attaining his majority found a sum of £ 1,000,000 to his credit at his bankers. About that time, or perhaps a little before, the great quar- ries were bringing in only £ 20,000 a year, but under improved methods and manage- ment the yearly revenue from this source is estimated at £ 100,000. Out of his great, wealth Mr Assheton-Smith spefnt large .sums in charity, but all his bene- factions were subject to the dislike for publicity which characterised his general attitude. He was High Sheriff of Anglesey in 1872 and High Sheriff of Carnarvon- shire in 1878, and was a justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant for the lat- ter county. During the, visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, to the northern part of the. Principality in May, 1902, when His Roy.al Highness was inducted to the Chancellorship' of the University of Wales, Mr Assheton-Smith entertained the distinguished visitors at Vaynol. Mr Assheton-Smith leaves .a widow and a, daughter to mourn his death. Mrs Aissheton-Smith is a descendant of the well-known and ancient family of Treffas and Crai^-don, Anglesey, being the, daugh- ter of Mr Colin Stanape Jones, late of the War Office. Mr Assheton-Smith was one, of the most retiring of men. He preferred the quiet and seclusion of the beautifully wooded Vaynol Park to the, turmoil of public life. To this may be attributed his refusal to becüme a Parliamentary candidate for Carnarvonshire and to accept the mayoralty of the county town. He had large' interests in Carnarvon and Bangor, particularly the former, and the prosperity of both found in him always a, warm supporter, his readiness to meet the Carnarvon Corporation when public im- provements demanded attention conduc- ing to very happy relations' between that body and the Vaynol estate. His demise affect,s to some' extent the future: of one of the, largest landed pro- perties. in Wales, as well aS81 one of the most important industrial undertakings, in the whole kingdom. If in the present complex relations of capital and labour any man can .be said to be an; ideal em- ployer of labour Mr Assheton-Smith was thel man. This is best proved by the harmonious relations which almost un- interruptedly existed between him and the 3,000 men employed at the! famous, Dinorwic quarries. To this, rule there was an unfortunate exception' in 1885, when a dispute with the management re- sulted in the quarries being at a, stand- still for several months; but even during that dark period the feelings of the men were hardly once embittered; against, Mr Assheton-Smith. The-, dispute came to an amicable termination, which restored mutual confidence in a, permanent, man- ner. Then as a landlord Mr A&sheton-Smith's reputation was such that to be' a, tenant of the Vaynol estate was regarded as an enviable position. The estate1 comprises some 36,000 acres, and for the past thirty years has been admirably managed by Captain N. P. Stewart, who, to thsi regret of all the tenantry, will resign his charge at the close of the present year. Exclu- sive: of urban tenants, there are about. six- teen hundred tenants -on the estate, and very few farms or holdings change hands. This is shown in a striking manner by a return made a, few" years ago when it ap- peared. that as, many a,s 450 families had been, in occupation for fifty years. As many as 68 families had been. in occupa- tion for between 200 and 250 years, 17 between 250 and 300 years, 16 between 300 .and 350 years, four between 400 and 450 years, while one family had occupied for more than 500 years. Between 1857 and 1893 E307,900 had been spent on re- pairs on the estate, and many instances could be found in which thousands, of pounds h.'<J been paid in voinpensation money to t,enants who could not have claimed a penny. In .times of depression Mr Assheton-Smith. met his- tenantry with handsome abatements. The audits were 1 postponed in 1892 and 1893, and on the first, occasion an abatement of 35 per cent. was allowed and on the second 25 per cent; while in celebration of his marriage; in 1888 Mr Asshton-Smith ret- mitted a whole half-year's rent to all the tenantry. During a, period of seven years these abatements totalled £ 20,600. At his marriage and on occasions. of national re- joicings he also. liberally treated the Dinorwic quarrymen. He contributed handsomely to Church funds in the Bangor diocese, and likewise d;d much rT- his, practical sympathy to further the; Conservative causei in the district, though of late' years he had not taken an .active part in polities. He at once took an active interest in the Car- narvon habitation of the Primrose League, which, during the last few months, has. also been greatly helped by Mrs Assheton-Smith. Th history of the origin .and Growth of the great Dinorwic quarries forms one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of Welsh inlustries. The latest undertaking embarked1 upon br Mr As'sheton-Smith in connection' with the quarries was the construction of a large dock at Portdinorwic, whence all the slates are shipped. This work involved an expenditure of many thous, THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. According to present arrangements, the funeral of the' latei Mr G. W. Duff Asshe- .>f ton-Smith will take place to-day (Satur- day), and will be of a strictly private character. The remains will be laid to rest in the mausoleum within the park at Vaynol Asi a, mark of respect, to his, memory, practically all the; houses in the village of Portdinorwic have their blinds drawn, and flags are; hoisted at half-mast at various points. Flags are also dis- played in a like manner from the public buildings .at Carnarvon and Bangor, where the latei squire had large' interests.

MANY IN LLANDUDNO.
MANY IN LLANDUDNO. How many Llandudno residents—hard- worked men:, tired-out women—there are who scarcely know what, it is to be free from an aching back, that, sure sign of kidney disease! One of our neighbours in Bangor tells here how she was cured. Mrs A. Jones, living at, 2, E" Paul's- terrace, Bangor, says :FOI yc.rs I suf- fered verv much with my back, caused by my kidneys being out of order. My ba,ek was so weak that, I could not raise myself up in bed without assistance, and when I was up could scarcely stand, every move I took it seemed as though my back were. breaking. I suffered also, from dizziness, .and dimness of s;ght, at times I wag' nearly blind, and little specks seemed to float before my eyes. My limbs swelled so much that I was afraid dropsy would set in. My skin be come yellow, and there was a. puffiness under the, eyes. "My trouble continued right up to the time I began taking Doan's backache kid- ney pills, although I had tried many different medicines' before Doan's. After I ha.d taken a few doses of Doan's pills I began to feel better, and as I went on with them my health improved. I am glad to say that Doan's kidney medicine has done me a. lot of good, and I shall be pleased to recommend it." If you are ill, write and fully describe your case to us. We shall be pleased to give you the best, advice in our power, free of charge. You can depend upon your letter being treated in. strictest con- fidence.

RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC SERVICES.
RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC SERVICES. On Saturday a.t Colwyn Bay, under the presidency of the Rev. Thomas Parry, a meeting was held to consider the advis- ability of organising a testimonial to Alderman Joseph Jones, Old Colwyn, one of the best-known public men in the dis- trict, in recognition of a-bout thirteen years' service on thei various local govern- ing authorities. An influential committee was formed, including Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., the Mayor of Conway (Alderman Hugh Hughes), Mr Hugh Owen, and Mr Hugh Hughes. ——————————B
A STOLEN RABBIT' PIE.
A STOLEN RABBIT' PIE. A certain lady in Leeds had a habit when-making pastry .of putting it in the doorway to cool. One day two navvies were passing by, and s.aw the, rabbit-pie which the woman had made for the hus- band's dinner, and put it in the doorway to cool. They stole it, and sat in a roadside field to eat the contents. When they, had had •a good feed, they saw a beggar coming down the roa.d looking rather hungry. "Hallo shouted the navvies, "could yer ate some, pie?" "Yes," sad the beggar. "Well, get it darn yer neck, then, and take back the dish to that house over yon- der." The beggar did .as he was bidden. The husband being in, to the beggar's sur- prise he got more .boot toe than rabbit- pie.
MR. D. A. THOMAS AND THE WELSH…
MR. D. A. THOMAS AND THE WELSH REVOLT. Speaking at Penrhiweeiber on Saturday night Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., said that, while as a matter of tactics he did not entirely agree with the, Welsh national policy, he recognised that. Wales, through her duly elected representatives in the county -and urban councils, had spoken in favour of that policy, and he would sub- ordinate his own views, as it was the duty of the minority at all times to do, to that of the majority.—(Loud applause.) As long as they were agreed on principle he always held that that, was the' duty of those in the minority. He said he was in entire accord with the Labour group in the House,.

PAN-CELTIC CONGRESS.
PAN-CELTIC CONGRESS. THE BALANCE-SHEET. The balance-sheet of the Pan-Celtic Congress recently held at Carnarvon has now been prepared. The receipts were JB356 lis. 6d., of which P,308 was re- ceived from the sale of tickets for the concerts, P,42 from, subscriptions, and the remainder from other sources. The actual expenditure falls, short of P,200, and this includes over B75 in fees for the musical artistes engaged for the concerts and P,9 Gorsedd expenses, including the carriage, of the regalia, between Cardiff and Carnarvon and the fee board, and and Carnarvon and the, fee board, and tra-velling expenses of the regalia cus- todian. Of the surplus P,10 was voted to the Carnarvon Choral Union, R75 to the Celtic Association general fund, and JE74 to form the, nucleus, of a Celtic prizo. fundi at, Carnarvon schools.
-_._-_--__----DEVELOPMENT…
DEVELOPMENT OF MOSTYN I ESTATE. A new street called St. Mary's Road, leading from Lloyd-street to Trinity-street extension, at Llandudno, has been laid out, and a number of villa residences of moderate size are being built upon the. land adjoining it. The houses are semi- detached, and each pair has a good area of land for garden purposes. A new street is also being set out from Council-street in the direction, of the site of the new county school, and the houses here are to be of a similar type, set well back, with good garden in front and behind. It seems evident, therefore, that in the future development .of the' estate the closely packed long terrace systems of building adopted in the central parts of the town is to give place to a class of building which will encourage private residents to settle in the town.
HE ROBBED HIS OWN ORCHARD.
HE ROBBED HIS OWN ORCHARD. It will surprise many to know that Washington Irving was a confessed orchard thief. Once while picking up an apple, in his own orchard he1 was accosted by an urchin of the neighbourhood, who, not, recognising him as the' proprietor, offered to show him a. tree where he could get some: better apples than those. "But," said the boy, "we must not let the old man see us." "I went with him," said Irving, "and we stole about a dozen or two of my own apples, and then went shares." W' "alr.

PARTY POLITICS.
PARTY POLITICS. A certain M.P. said once to a leading politician, "I shall support you whenever I think you are right." "That is no satisfaction," retorted the leading politician, with a twinkle in his eye; "anybody may support me when I am right. What I want is a man that will support me when I am wrong!" The man who is "unaccustomed to pub- lic speaking" frequently says things on the platform the full significance .of which does not appeal to him until it is too late to recall the words. This wa,s the case (writes "Robin Goodfellow") with a work- ingman who spoke in Birmingham the other evening at a municipal ward meet- ing. He was obviously nervous when he got upon his legs, and he started off by telling his hearers, what was perfectly patent, that he wa.s not quite, used to that sort of thing. Then he sent them into a roar of laughter by seriously announcing that he was "more fitted for the scaffold than for the platform." "I'm a brick- layer," he said, with a rather puzzled ex- pression, when the laughter was subsided.
