PUBLICATIONS.
PUBLICATIONS. DR. DOYLE ON PATRIOTISM.—In the Wide World Magazine for October Dr. A Conan Doyle continues his graphic narrative entitled The Great Boer War." In an interesting passage he thus describes the ardent spirit which animated the youth of Britain at and since the outbreak of hostilities For this far-distant war, a war of the unseen foe and of the murderous ambuscade, there were so many volunteers that the authorities were em- harassed by their numbers and their pertinacity. Especially the Imperial Yeomanry, a corps of riders and shots, appealed to the sporting instincts of our race. Many could ride and not shoot, many could shoot and not ride, more candidates were rejected than were accepted, and yet in a very short time 8,000 men from every class were wearing the grey eoats and bandoliers. Noblemen and grooms rode knee to knee in the ranks many young men about town justified their existence for the first time. In a single club, which is peculiarly consecrated to the gilded youth, 300 members rode to the war." ALFRED THE GREAT.—In this month's Quiver Archdeacon Wynne, of Killarney, contributes a paper on England's best and greatest King," which is of peculiar interest in view of the recent millenary celebrations at Winchester. The con- cluding paragraph may be quoted :—" England has fcad her warriors, she has bad her men of learning, her lawgivers, her saints. But, if it is demanded, where shall we find all these combined in one ? there is no other answer furnished by history than this Behold warrior, lawgiver, scientist, moralist, saint, in the true life, as spiritual as it is heroic, of the great Alfred, King of the Saxons." MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. — The profusely illustrated historical work entitled The Life of a Century, published by George Newnes, Ltd., is brought to a close this month with the issue of Part XII. Now that the series is completed a a better estimate of its value can be formed, and the Editor, Mr Hodder, may be congratulated on the success which has attended his efforts to give a readable narrative of the development of Great Britain and her dependencies during the past hundred years.-The Practical Junior Photographer for October as usual conta'ns some exquisite repro- ductions of the art of the camera, a dainty and admirably-finished cottage scene forming the frontispiece. INumerous readable articles go to make up a highly entertaining issue.—As a suitable publication for the British boy The Captain con- tinues to hold the premier position it has occupied since its first number. It is well-printed on good paper, and contains excellent illustrations and read- able stories and articles by foremost artistes and writers. To the current number a,few short essays are contributed on the subject of Villains," a a sufficiently comprehensive theme. "Shylock," Uriah Heep," Fagin," "Professor Moriarty" and Squeers are the characters dealt with.- Never was a good atlas more a necessity than at the present times. Messrs Newnes have been quick to realise this fact, and have arranged with Mr J G Bartholomew, F.R.G.S. for the production of a 20th Century Atlas. Their previous Citizen's Atlas was perhaps the best value in map publish- ing ever offered to the public-but this new atlas, aiming at a still higher standard of excellence, promises to go one better. It is to be published in 26 fortnightly parts at 6d., and the first part has just been isssed.- We have also received Parts VIII and IX of Britannia's Bulwarks, and Parts XI and XII of Royalties of the World. No falling off in the excellence of these publications is discernible, the plates in each case being triumphs ot art print- ing. FORMER POOLONIAN AS PAMPHLETEER.—From the publishing office of Messrs Robert Banks & Son, Racquet Court, Fleet street, E.C., comes a three- penny pamphlet, entitled Anglo-Israelism in Canada and the West Indies." This little work will be interesting to Welshpool people in view of the fact that the author, the Rev J Idrisyn Jones, who embarked at Liverpool in January, for a tour of portions of tho Western Hemisphere, was for some years minister at the Congregational Chapel in New street. In a prefatory note the rev gentle- man, whose photograph appears on the cover, ex- presses a hope that the pamphlet may sorve as a convenient introduction to the subject of our Hebrew origin as a people." He adds It is not so much a discussion of our views as a narrative of travel in distant lands."
. PERSONAL.
PERSONAL. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry are entertaining a aeries of house parties at Wyn. yard Park, their seat near Stockton-on-Tees, where they will reside until Christmas, when they are going to Ireland until the meeting of Parliament. Lieutenant General J D P French, who has achieved so much distinction in South Africa, entered upon his fiftieth year on Saturday, having been born on the 28th of September, 1852. He has been serving nearly twenty-eight years in the army, principally in the 19th (Princess of Wales's Own)' Hussars, being originally a militia officer. He served in the Soudan in 1884 and 1885. He was early in the present campaign promoted from colonel to major general for distinguished service, and now has local rank of lieutenant general in South Africa as a commander of mobile columns. Mr Balfour has been the guest of Mr and Mrs Asquith during his stay at St Andrews. On Monday Field Marshall Earl Roberts, V.C., commander-in-chief, entered upon his seventieth year, having been born on the 30th of September, 1832'. His army service began on the 12th of December, 1851, when lie was appointed a second lieutenant in the Bengal Artillery of the East India Company's service. He was appointed Commander- in-Chief on the 3rd of January last. Count Von Waldersee the late commander-in- chief in China, appears to be seriously unwell. In order to avoid the inconvenience of telegrams and inquires, the illness of the Field Marshall (who is staying at his sister-in-law's estate at Neckarsulm) was kept as secret as possible, so that even many family friends were ignorant of it. Mr Choate, the Americian Ambassador, leaves London this week for Scotland, on a visit to the &Agmarriage has been arranged, and will shortly take place, between Eva Janet Emelia, daughter of the late Mr Sampson Samuel Lloyd, of the Priory, Warwick, and Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, and Mr Malcolm Carlisle Pilkington, a son of Mr George Pilkington of Stoneleigh, Woolton, Lancashire.
MERIONETH LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.
MERIONETH LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MEETING. A meeting of the above Association was held at Barmouth on Thursday. Mr Osmond Williams, M.P., presided, and there was a large attendance of delegates. At the outset the Chairman moved a vote of con- dolence with the family of the late Mr Samuel Pope, K.C., remarking that he identified himself with all good works and especially the Liberal Party in Merionethshire.-The motion was carried in silence. The Chairman who [was received with cheers, said he felt he ought to make a speech of some kind to them although it was somewhat difficult at a business meeting of that kind to choose what to say, whether he should give an 'account of his stewardship and go through exactly the part he had taken during the last session, or should simply give them a resume of the work done or undone generally. He would, however, flatter himself so far in supposing that most of them had followed in the papers what he had done, or omitted to do with regard to the session itself. He could only say that he thought it had added nothing to the dignity of the House of Commons—or to the stand- ing of either of the great English parties. The only party which had shown itself capable of doing work, and bad known how to turn our own peculiar institutions to its own ends, was composed of the very men that the Government of the day said were unfit to govern themselves, the Irish. A vote of thanks to the president for his services was carrried with acclamation. Copies of the balance sheet were distributed amongst the members and showed that there was a balance in the bank in favour of the association of aell 12s 8d. Mr Guthrie Jones, the secretary, said the financial position of the association was very favourable but there were arrears due from various districts amounting to zCl6 12s 7d. A discussion took place as to the best means of collecting this amount. Ultimately it was agreed that the secretary should write to the districts in arrear with their payments. REVISION OF RULES. The Association then came to the revising of the rules drawn up by the Executive Committee. With regard to the rule laying down the qualification for membership, several delegates submitted amend- ments, and among them Prof 0 M Edwards, one from Llanuwchllyn that the amount due from each locality should be demanded, but that it be left to the local association how to raise that amount. This suggestion was received with general favour. —Mr E P Jones spoke against the Llanuwchllyn proposal, saying they should have a uniform rule throughout.—After further discussion, Mr W Owen, Festiniog, moved that the matter be referred back to the local associations for their opinion, and this was seconded by Mr Evan Jones, Bala.-On being put to the vote, the motion was lost. The President then put a Dolgelley amendment to the meeting which was first that the Association should consist of all the electors who were pre- pared to accept the rules of the Association. This was agreed to unanimously. On the second, that every person of Liberal convictions over 16 although not an elector be accepted to membership on payment of the contributions fixed upon, an amend- ment to the effect that the age should be eigteen was carried. On the proposal of Mr Haydn Jones it was de- cided that the contribution be sixpence annually. The third amendment of Dolgelley was next discussed-that the payment must be made at least three months before the member has a right to vote-was agreed to, as well as the fourth, that a register of members be kept. In regard to the rule specifying the places at which the meetings of the association should be held, an amendment that Aberdovey be added was lost. Mr Cadwaladr Roberts proposed that the meet- ings be held at Dolgelley and Barmouth alternately, and this was agreed to. The next discussion took place on the rule that officials should not vote in the selection of Candi- dates unless appointed as Delegates. An amend- ment by Mr Cadwaladr Roberts that the Executive Committee be elected by the districts was carried. A discussion was raised on the last portion of Rule 11, but it was the evident desire of the meet- ing to proceed to the next rule, the meeting having already lasted three hours and a half, and a pro- position so that effect was carried by a large major- ity. Mr W Owen, Trawsfynydd, however, persisted in continuing the discussion, but his voice was drowned in the stamping of feet. An important amendment was proposed by Mr R 0 Davies and seconded by Mr W Owen (who on rising was again unfavourably received, the Chair- man, however, asking for fair play), to the effect that the Liberal candidate should be elected by the number of the votes of the members of the associa- tions and iiot by the votes of delegates at the meeting. On a division the amendment was lost by 43 votes to 33. An amendment moved by Mr D G Jones, Festiniog, that the voting should be by ballot was carried. The remaining rules were adopted with but few alterations. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The Chairman proposed Mr Howell Idris as pie- sident. Mr John Davies seconded. Several gentlemen were then named, including Messrs 0 M Edwards, E P Jones, Dr Hughes, Andreas Roberts, Haydn Jones, and D G Williams (Festiniog), most of whom declined. Ultimately on being pressed, Mr 0 M Edwards reluctantly consented to accept the position. The following other appointments were made :— Treasurer, Mr J Parry; auditor, Mr Parry Jones secretary, Mr Guthrie Jones; vice-president, Dr R Hughes. Miss Jones (Bala), Messrs J M Jones, R G Pritchard, the Rev J Gwynoro Davies, Morris Thomas, 0 M Edwards, A Osmond Williams, and Dr R Roberts were elected representatives on the Welsh National Liberal Council.

MACHYNLLETH.
yirars ?-The Chairman: He does not say so, but very likely it will be renewed at the end of the year. He wishes it to be given to the best boy or girl from Llanbrynmair. Col Pryce-Jones pro- mised to send his scheme but it has not arrived. In all probability it will be for the best boy or girl in the town.—Mr Daniel Howell: What are the limits of age for these scholarships ?-Mr Meyler, the headmaster, said tkat he did not think they had ever laid down a limit in age; but if he might say so, he thought that the time had oome for a discussion on that point. The xcheme did not allow a boy in school over 18 years of age, but in the adjoining county of Merioneth there was no such limit. The Central Board laid down a general rule that a pupil must be three years in the school before he could sit for a janior certificate, and if a boy of 15 had to wait until 18 before he could obtain his certificate it was rather a poor performance as a course of study. He there- fore thought that the time had come to place a limit on the age for those obtaining scholarships, for 15 was certainly too low.- The Chairman said that the Charity Commissioners reduced the age of pupils from 19 to 18, because they objected to make the age too high.—The Headmaster: Why do they make a distinction in other counties ?—Mr Edward Rees There are no two schemes the same through. out Wales.—The Headmaster said that it was very unfair that there should be a difference in the sehemes, especially in regard to the age limit.- Votes of thanks were passed to Col Pryce-Jones and to Mr Stable.-The Headmaster was asked to con. duct the examination at Llanbrynmair, and Mr Howell will make the necessary arrangements. RENDEL BURSARIES. A letter was read from the Clerk to the County Governing Body stating that it had been decided that Elwy Ivor of Corris was ineligible for one of the Rendel Bursaries and they asked the local governors to recommend another child in hia place. A SHREWSBURY CONFERENCE. The Executive Committee of the Central Welsh Board in view of the great importance of questions relating to the new science grant and the proposed pension fund for teachers in Intermediate Schools have decided to convene a conference of County and Local Governing Bodies for the discussion of these questions. The conference will be held at Shrews. bury on October 11.—The Chairman said that the question was whether the grants should come direct from Government or through the County Governing Body.—Mr Rowlands (the clerk) was asked to at. tend and Mr Meyler will probably accompany him. BURSARIES. Buisaries were granted to the following :-M Ll Jones, Pennal, £ 3; Hannah Morgan, Llanbrynmair, JE3; Thos Lloyd, Llanbrynmair, £3; Hannah Breeze, E2; James Owen, M A Jones, E H Williams aud Morgan Owen, all of Corris, 30s each Iorwerth Roberts, £2; D Jones, Glandovey. £ 3; A B Arthur, Pennal, £3; J D James, JE2; Elwy ap Ivor, 30s.
