FOOTBALL NOTES. WELSH COAST CUP. BANGOR v. FLINT. (By Veteran). Bangor 1 Flint. 1 The first of the sem.i-6.nals was played on Saturday, when Flint and Bangor met at Llandudno before a large crowd. The old Bangorian, Dick Owen, was included in the Bangor ranks, as also were C. Burns, Lloyd "Williams and Hwfa, Wil- liams. The game was a most disappoint- ing .one, neither team boing able to adapt Z;) zn their play to the climatic conditions, .i.e., a strong wind which carried the ball obliquely across the neid in the direction of the Grand Theatre. Consequently the game was fought out in the far corner of the, B.eld, and mo'r& than half the time wasted. Of the two, Flint appeared to be the better side, but the game ended in a draw, H. 0. 'Williams scoring for Flint, just be- fore the interval and Burns equalising very early in the second half. Both O'oal were beauties, but the only other feature in the game wa.s the way in which the Flint left half—a little chap as regards size—smashed up the Bangor attack in the second half. Nine times out of ten he got, the ball. It is true he generally kicked 0 it out of play, but he was too good for Bangor right wing, although it included Burns. < WELSH COAST LEAGUE. In the league tournament Llanberis made a draw with Lla.nrwst, each side scoring two goals. University College continued on their winning career by beating Pwllheli by four goals to three. In the second division Holyhead Reserves beat Llanberis by nve goals to two. and Carnarvon Reserves beat Glasfryn Swift. by two goals to one, -< < THE AMATEURS IDLE. The Amateurs had an idle Saturday for the second week in succession. Most of the players were accommodated on the stand, but there were not, many wrinkles to be l&arnet there. They would have been far better occupied if only playing a junior team, for this day week they will have to meet Pwllheli at Bangor in the i semi-nnal of the Coast Cup Competition. Pwllheli ran the 'Varsity very close on Saturday, so that the team is evidently an improved one. < Thijs afternoon the 'R.oosters are due to appear on the Council Field, and should give the. Amateurs another good game. I c The team will be as follows:—Goal, Stallard; backs, J. H. Jones and R. Hughes; half-backs, J. Brown, T. John- son, H. Pearson; forwards, H. R.a.ndalls. E,. Chase, J. E, Williams, R, Davies and J. Willia.ms. 1 j

G.F.S. SALE OF WORK. There did not appear to be any facing on in the attendance at- the annual sale of work arranged in aid of the Llandudno Lodge of the Girls' Friendly Society. The sale was held in the Town Hall, Mrs Wit- sou. Eithin.og, paying a.ll the expenses of hiring the hall, etc. The stalls were more numerous than usual and well loaded with useful and ornamental goods of every de- scription. For many years a prominent position has been given to the marmalade made at the Lodge under the superinten- dence of M'isses Handle, and which in- variably found a ready sale. This year a departure was made from the usual cus- tom, the toothsome delica.cy having been made by Mrs E.akin and Miss Champ- neys. Those who sampled the mar- malade a,s supplied at the. tea table pro- nounced its quality to be excellent. Other "home-made goods" exhibited on the -were chutney, furniture polish, etc. THE STALLHOLDERS.

TWO MISTAKESLLANDUDNO MAKE'S. Many Lflandudno meR and women who are chronic suHerers from piles are mak- ingt two mistakes Firstly, they do not look upon their ailments as anything serious; Secondly, they have come to be- lieve they can never he cured. But piles are serious, because if neglect- ed they become torturing', and a surgical operation may become necessary to pre- vent fistula. And piles can be é,urerd¡6Iompletely and permanently, by Down's ointment. There is plenty of home! proof of that, for Llan- dudno cases like the following are con- tinually being reported to us:- In an outspoken statement about her cure, the publication of which she kindly authorised, Mrs Ma.ry E. Welch, who lives at 1, Hjills Cottage, Back Madoo Street, Llandudno, said: "For years I suffered very much with bleeding, piles, which brought me to a low and weak state. I am glad to say I got almost immediate relief from Doan's ointment, and I con- tinued the treatment until I was com- pletely cured. (Signed) Mary E. Welch." Dean's ointment is two shillings and ninepenee per pot, or six pots for thirteen shillings and ninepenee.

DEATH OF MR J. ALLANSON PICTON. It is with great regret that we record the death of Mr J. Allanson Picton, J.P., which took place. at, his residence near Penmaenmawr on Sunday. Mr Picton was the son of Sir James Picton, the eminent Liverpool architect. the author of a useful work on the "Memorials of Liverpool," an earnest Liberal, and the founder of the Free Library and Museum with which his name is still associated. After a strenuous life he settled at Pen- maenmawr in the early nineties, and one of the first things that interested him in Wales was the language, which he set himself to learn, and he made such pro- gress that on more than one occasion he made a fairly good speech in that tongue. Welsh education movements greatly in- terested him, and he became a member of the county governing body, which then controlled the secondary schools of Car- narvonshire, and in 1895 he was appoint- ed one of the governors of the Conway- cum-LIandudno County School, of the governing body of which he became chair- man in the following year. He was also one of the most painstaking members of the magisterial bench, and always en- deavoured to elicit any formation that, told in favour of persons brought before the Bench for petty offences. He was twice married. Mr Picton was ejected a governor of the University College of North Wales, Bangor, bv the University of London, and was a useful and valued member of the College Council. When the local education authority for Carnar- vonshire was established under the Edu- cation Act of 1902 he was co-opted as one of the originaj member's, and only resign- ed his position in November of last year, and occupied the position until his death, A SKETCH: OF HIS CAREER, j Mr James Allanson Picton was born in 1852, and was educated at the local High School until at, the age of 16 he entered his father's omce. But he soon found the profession uncongenial, and at the age of 19 he entered as a student at the Lanca- shire Independent College and at, the Owens College, Manchester. At the Lon- don University he took the degree of M.A. It was in Manchester, however, that hib ministerial career commenced. It is reported that at nrst "some of the mem- bers of the Manchester Ministers' Meetino- objected to him," but the balance of opin- ion was on the side of the eloquent young preacher and teacher, and he was accord- ingly elected to the pastorate of Cheetham Hill Church. In 1861-2, in conjunction wit hthe Rev. Arthur Mursell, he com- menced a series of popular lectures to the working classes. They were delivered in a large ragged school, and proved very successful. In 1859 he had found time to write a "Catechism of the Gospels." In the winter of 1862 he was Invited to accept the' pastorate of the Church in Gallowtree Gate, Leicester, On reaching Leicester Mr Picton found himself politically at home, and lost no time in once again endeavouring to reach and teach the working classes by means of special Sunday afternoon lectures, on such themes' as "The death of Ernest Jones," "True Radicalism," and "The Rights of Men," Finding that his political views were too advanced for some of the members of his congregation, Mr Picton in the winter of 1869 accepted the pas- tora.te of St. Thomas's Square Chapel, Hackney. Shortly afterwards he threw himself into the election of the first Lon- don School Beard a.s a candidate for Hackney, inscribing on his banner the watchwords of "Free," "Secular," and "Compulsory" education, and was return- ed by a vast majority. At the election of 1877 he was confronted by a formidable opposition under the leadership of Canon Gregory. Once again, however, the work- ing classes rallied to Ms side and return- ed him by a. vote of 14,240, or more than double the number which he had polled three years before. In 1873 Mr Picton once again received the most emphatic, of all vote's of confidence, being re-elected to the Board by no fewer than 29,813 votes. Meantime, he had become on of the most prominent Liberals in Hackney, and his course of Sunday afternoon lectures to working men during the! winter months attracted Iar"'e crowds, ? In 1879 Mr Picton resolved to resign his seat on the School Board and his ministry and devote himself to literary and political work. In 1883 he was unanimously invited by the Liberal Coun- cil of the Town Hamlets to contest the division as the second Liberal candidate. Early in the following year, on the re- signation of Mr Peter Alfred Taylor, one of the members for the borough of Leicester, Mr Picton was elected on June 20th-, 1884, without, opposi.ttion. At the general election in November, 1885, Mr ?Piicton was returned at the head of the poJI, defeating his Tory opponent by 11,480 to 6,7.51. In the following year he had again to contest, the seat, his op- ponent in this case 'being" Mr R. Bicker- (steth, a Liberal Unionist. At this' poll the Liberal vote fell by 1,566. But as the Unionist aggregate likewise declined, Mr Picton defeated his opponent by the still large majority of 4,228. In 1892 Mr Picton was returned without opposition. Throughout his Parliamentary career Mr Picton remained thoroughly loyal to his distinctive principles a.s a robust Radical, and he never hesitated to e'xhibit his fearless independence when necessity arose. This was .shown in many ways. As one example we need only cite the manner in which he championed the aboli- tion of the compulsory clauses of the Vaccination Acts, contributing largely to secure the appointment. of a Royal Commission, of which we was a member. He also did good pioneer work on behalf of the "free breakfast, tabl'e." He was no infrequent speaker in the debates, and 'carried into his oratory some of the char- acteristics ,o'f the pulpit, style. Hits voice was heard to best advantage on the poli- tica.1 platform, where it ofte'n aroused the tica.1 platform, where it ofte'n aroused the '?< greatest enthusiasm. In March, 1894, he expressed Ms intention, of resigning his seat. Mr Pict'on was a.t one time a frequent contributor to the "Fortnightly," "Theo- logical," and other reviews. In 1870 he published "New Theories and the Old j Faith," in 1875 "The Religion of Jesus. He also wrote a life of Oliver Cromwell, a volume of "Lessons from the Rise and Fall of the English Commonwealth," and a biography of his father; Sir James Pic ton. MAGISTERIAL REFERENCES. O'n the assembling of the Conway jus- tices on Monday the Chairman (M.r .Knee- shaw) referred to the death of Mr Allan- son Picton, who, he said. was widely known to a. large section of the thought- ful public, who admired the ability and research which he brought to bear upon his literary and other work, and especial- ly his devotion to the cause of education. As a magistrate he spared no effort to ascertain the merits of each case and to arrive at a just decision. The Chairman moved a' vote of sincere condolence with Mrs Picton and the family. Mr R. S. Chamerlain, on behalf of the Bar, brieny expressed the wish to be asso- ciated with the vote of condolence. He said he had never heard a single solicitor suggest that he was not, satisfied with any decision Mr Picton had given. The vote was passed by aH the magis- trates, omoials, and solicitors rising to their feet. The remains of Mr Allanson Picton were conveyed from Penmaenmawr to Liverpool on Monday morning for the obsequies at the Liverpool Crematorium. Among the mourners proceeding from Penmaenmawr were Mr Harold Picton (son), Mrs Beaumont Picton (represent- ing her husband, who is abroad), Mr Moulton, and the Rev. E. C, Hart (Con- gregational minister of Penmaenmawr). The indoor and outdoor stag at Caerlyr, the late Mr Picton's residence, proceeded in carriages to the Penmaenmawr station with the cortege.

MARRIAGE OF CAPTAIN PRITCHARD. SURPRISE WEDDING OF MAURETANIA'S LATEI CHIEF. Captain Pritchard, lately of the Maure- tania, was quietly married by special licence a.j the neetwood Parish Church on the 3rd 'nst. It was only on Saturday that news of the event leaked out; beyond the wedding party, no one but the vicar and the verger were present. The captain's bride is Miss Katherine Parry, who for some time was the manageress of the Mount Hotel, Fleetwood. She is a prepossessing young lady, and highly esteemed locally. She is some years the captain's junior. The captain's aon was the best man, and the bridesmaid Miss Parry, the present manageress of the Mount Hotel, and sis- ter of the bride. The party drove to the Parish Church in a couple of cabs. Captain and Mrs Pri'tchard left imme- diately after the ceremony for London and the Continent.

Editor (to reporter): "What do you mean by writing, 'Amongst the prettiest girls at a dance was Captain Andrews l' The captain is a man." Reporter: "Yes, but he spent most of his time among the prettiest girls there."

KEEP THIS AT HAND. TELLS HOW TO DEAL WITH ALL OASES OF ACCIDENT. HOW TO PREVENT BLOOD POISONING FROM CUTS, BURNS. SORES, WOUNDS, &c EVERY HOUSE ITS OWN HOSPITAL. To know exactly what to do when a ( ease of accident) arises is knowledge that I is valuable. It may mean the saving of hour's of pain, it may indeed mean the saving of life. Considering that at practi'cally any moment of the day an acciden may arise in the home, at busi- ness, or when indulgting in some inno- cent pastime, the advice given here should prove of great importance. When it has teen carefully read through this article should be cut ouft and placed ready for immediate reference when needed. Imagine losing' a finger, a ha-ndi, or a whole limb, just through not knowing what tb do in cases of 'accident. Day by day ther-e are cases reported in the papers where such a matter as the scratching of a finger with a rusty nai'l, tjhe cutting of the hand or the faulty treatment of a burn or acald has resulted in acute Blood Poisoning, or that most terrible of all ends Tetanus or LtOick Jaw. Every mother, every wife should realise the necessity of this knowledge which tells how to deal wi& cases of accident so that should cuts, burns, bruistes, sores, scalds, wounds and other forms of acci- dent arisen, timely intervention wiM. pre- v&nt such complication. "It took bad ways" is a well-known expression, de- scribing a serious result from a very slight beginning. Those are points to remember. When the person is injured so that the skin of any part is broken it is absolutely neces- sary to prevent any dust or dirt coming neaj- the exposed part. A wound or cut< into which dirt has crept may result in blood-poisoning. The way to treat Wounds or cuts is to carefully wash with cold clean water as soon as possible after &ey are inflictied. In the case of bruises, burns, or scalds, it is not advisable to wash the part injured but to immediately apply a soothing cooling and healing operation. In oases of sores, boils, abscesses and such like troubles Which can hardly be called accidents it is necessary as quickly as possible Ho draw out all the bad mat- ter present and thus to take away the chief danger of blood-poisoning. An old-fashioned idea for this purpose ia to apply hot water or linseedj poultices, but' as these are painful and may lead to serious inflammation and not always a/ccomplish their object, the proce&s is attended with some danger. < When the wound or cut has been wash- ed and when the bad matter from the Bore or abscess has been removed it is necessary to apply some healing prepara- tion whidh will make the flesh once more healthy and) cause the skin to grow over the part affected in a perfectly natural manner. It is obvious then from these remarks if there is a preparation that will not only perform fho cleansing' and drawing operation but the healing operation as well, such preparation, having' a three- fold value, will practioaJIy form a home hospital whe'roby a MotJher may treat her little one herself or her husband in c,ase,s where sudden accident arisen, without having to recollect the above various forma of treatment, recommended by experience and! usage. JUST LIKE A DOCTOR IN THE HOU. There are manv Qmtmant like pre- ?-S3*a.tions placed before e public which are alt suaante.ed to hea,l, n;nct heal quickly, but there is a danger in most of these, in that whilst they heal the outer skin, they do not draw away iSie ba,d matter underneafth so that whilst to aill intends .and purposes a cure has been J effected in a few days 8J further eruption might take place and blood poisoning re- sult. It has proved no. easy matter to secure sudh ao preparation as is desired, that is to say, one tiha.t will draw out the b!atd master in t)he part anected and heat quickly and permanently at the same time. We are now, however, able to announce the splendid faot that for all homes such a preparation is onered. For 75 year* there has been in the possession of < family of independent means, knowledge of a preparation that has proved wonder- fully successful in heaMing cases Of Whitlows, abscesses, wounds, cuts, bruises, Scalds, sJcin diseases, and Mood poisoning. During this long', period numeToua oases have been dealt wi(t!h gratuitously, and the cures enbcted by tibia prepara- tion have indeed been marvellous. It is owing to the generosity of a well-known: gentleman whose name must for the presen be kept private, that a wonderful recipe has be-en given tio an old establish- ed firm in ordter that they may make up such a preparation as M desired. A GREAT POULTICE OINTMENT. "Marabaz" is the name of the prepara- tion referred to, and it is pleasing to think that at last a recipe for his pre- paration has b'een divulged, so that the publijo may obtain any supplies of this wondarfuTi Poultijoe Ointment that they desire. There is no q-astion that in thi.< wonderful preparation now placed before the public t!here is a safe and reliable method of dealing with all oases of 18cdde:a;t likely to result in blood poisoning, abadess-es and suchlike. A CURATIVE OINTMENT OF THREE-FOLD POWER. "Marabaz" placed upon cuts, scalds, boils, wounds, abscesses, whitlow, or any fostering skin trouble will FIRSTLY draw all poisoning matter away, cleanse the wound thoroughly, and eventually heal iti perfectily. Wherever poisonous or foreign matter is present, in whatever form or however virulent "Marabaz" will draw it out, leaving the flesh as clear andi helallthy as before. "Marabaz" drains like a Poultice, and will be found invaluable in all ca&ea where splfinters and broken needles have entered the skin deeply, for its applica- tion draws the foreign matter right away without any pain and witihout any possi- bility of fes6enng,. BANDAGEiS THAT DO NOT TEAR AWAY THE FLESH. An important point in connection with "Maraba-z" is th,ati it will not adherQ to the wound and may be applied to the mosb tender wound and subsequently bandaged up without any fear that when the bandages are removed the raw Sesh or the freshly heading skin will be torn away. In order tie show the practical value of thia wonderful Poultice Oint- ment, the proprietors have many testi- monials, and win be pleased to forward these on to all who are interested. All these oases are absolutely genuine, and are vouched upon tjhe authority of the Proprietors of tMs wonderful healing apecit&c. It is aoM in specially decorated tin b:oxe.s 13ft Is. ld. and 2s. 9d. It surely seems wonderful that for such a smaJl sum as Is. ld. a Mother is able 2 to provide in her home a complete hospital for the treatimient of all acci- dents, and consequent complications. "MarabaE" is not a modern remedy suggested on the spur of the moment. The 75 years of experience have proved its power to heal, a.nd wherever it has been introduced i wonderful powers have been fully appreciated. It ts on sale at a.U chemists tfhroughout North Wales, or can be obtained from the Marabaz Co., REQDDITC!H.
