ARRIAGE OF MR MOORE AND MISS…
A wedding, which aroused considerable interest, took place at the Parish Church, Machynlleth, on Wednesday week, the church being crowded with friends and well-wishers. The bride was Miss Ada Jane Llojd, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs. Lloyd, Lledfair House, Machynlleth, and of the Penybont Hotel, Talyllyn, and the bridegroom Mr Harold Moore, B.A., son of the late Mr and Mrs Moore, Heve, Brighton. The ceremony took place at 11 o'clock, the officiating clergy being the Rev. T. Llewelyn Williams, rector, and the Rev. S. Jenkin Evans, curate. The service was fully choral, Mr R. Kowell presiding at the organ. The bride entered the ohuroh leaning on the arm of her father (who subsequently gave her away) and looked charming in a gown of white silk trimmed with lace inser- tion and chiffon and wore a veil and a wreath of ara,n go blossoms and myrtle. She also had a pearl brooch and carried a. lovely bouquet of lilies of the valley, white lilac and white roses, the gifts of the bridegroom. She was accompanied by her three sisters, Miss Adelaide, Cassie and Edith Lloyd, who looked exceedingly well- in dresses of palo blue Teile ever white, with white picture hats and streamers. Their ornaments were gold bangles, and they carried bouquets of yellow chrysanthe- mums, the gifts of the bridegroom. The best man was Mr Arthur Moore, brother of the bridegroom. The hymns sung were The voice that breathed o'or lfiden" and Hew welcome was the call." After the ceremony, the organist played the "Wedding March." On emerging from church the happy couple were received with showers of con- fetti and the best wishes of the large crowi and cannon were fired. A reception was held at Lledfair House when a large number of guests were pre- sent. The health of the bride and bridegroom was enthusiastically drunk.

INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The inspector reported that he found the inhabit. ants of South Gate, near Ponparke, draining their water supply from an open shallow well cat out of the rock on the roadside, which, like every other well was liable to contamination. All wells of that sort should be condemned, and proper protection constructed. Once more he called attention to the well at Cwmystwyth, which was still quite unfit for domestic use. The inhabitants at Dolypamdy, Penllwyn, had been left in a worse condition than ever as regarded their water supply. Notification of a case of scarlet fever at South Gate and at Gorsfach, Llanilar, had been reoeived.

MR. HUMPHREYS-OWEN, MP., AT…
MR. HUMPHREYS-OWEN, MP., AT LLANSANTFFRAID, THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPII'S EDUCATION ARTICLE. Mr A. C. Humphreys-Owen, M.P., addressing his constituents at Llansantffraid on Thursday night, said one of the most extraordinary events of the present generation was that a movement which started six or eight months ago with one avowed object had developed into another, and a widely different one. Mr Chamberlain started with a fine and noble ideal, that of union with the colonies, and in this he was heartilly with him (applause). Indeed there was not a Liberal in the country who had any notion of the history of the last fifty or sixty years who did not know that it was a succession of Liberal statesmen who, by giving to the colonies free institutions and separate constitu- tion s, kept them to us (applause). He said he was astonished at the levity displayed by some of the leaderaof the Tory party, who came into theoountry acclaiming Mr Chamberlain's proposals as if they were something entirely now-the discovery of a heaven-born statesman (laughter). He said, further, that when he saw the way in which people ran after new ideas of this kind he was a little bit disposed to despair of his fellow-country- men. When despair of that kind overtook him he generally took a tour round the more rural parts of Montgomeryshire, and it was then that he found the old country was sound, after all (applanse). No, they were not going to be led away by will-o'- the-wisps of this kind (hear, hear). Tarning to the education question, the hon. member pointed to the faot that in Wales much had been done for education. They possessed three university col- leges and ninety-five intermediate sohools, and those colleges and schools were the result of the efforts of the people, led by men like Lord Rendel (applause). They had not, however, been able to extend to the elementary education of the children of the Principality the principles which they had applied with such success to the university and secondary education of the country. Having referred at some length to the Education Act, Mr Humphreys-Owen said he could not under- stand how the good and upright members of the Church of England, after the defects of the Act had been pointed out to them, could continue to support the existing state of things. Even the Bishop of St. Asaph-certainly a man to whom Nonconformists had no particular reason to be grateful-in a recent publication had admitted the defects, and bad stated the grievances of the Non- conformists in this respect with a olearness, a com- pleteness, and an ability which, he confessed, he certainly very much envied. Indeed, they could mot have been stated better, and yet nothing wa.a done. They were told that the present educational deadlock in Wales was due to the action of the county councils. It was not.- (Hear, hear.) Whatever might have been the case a month ago, since the Bishop's article was printed the blame rested entirely oa the other side. Supposing one of them were engaged as plaintilf in a law suit and the defendant, after strenuously denying the plaintiff's oase, changed his mind and admitted all that was charged against him, what would they think if, on coming into court, he still insisted an all kinds of legal defences in a case in which he said the position of the plaintiff was a morally sound one ? Tot that was the position of the Bishop of St. Asaph. Therefore, when they hoard, as he had no doubt they would hear, all sorts of foolish irresponsible chatter about the injustice of the county councils, about their starving the schools, and nonsence of that kind, they would give them the answer of the Bishop of St. Asaph. He did hope most sincerely that the supporters of the voluntary system would see that the time had come when in common Christian charity they ought to join with their loaders in admitting their defeat (hear, hsar).
0 THE CHIEF CONSTABLESHIP…
0 THE CHIEF CONSTABLESHIP OF CARDIGANSHIRE. A special meeting of the Cardiganshire Poliee Committee was held on Thursday at Lampeter, when all the members were present. The meeting was called to consider a letter received from the Home Secretary in which he stated that he would not reconsider his decision not to confirm the appointment of Sergt. and Chief Clerk Richard Jones of Aberystwyth, as Chief Constable of the county. The ground of objection was that a person holding no higher a rank than Sergeant should not be appointed chief of the force. Mr H. C. Fryer read the letter he had addressed to the Home Secretary in which he stated that the refusal of the Home Secretary to approve of the appoint- ment had given great disappointment and that the committee trusted the Home Secretary would waive his objections and confirm the appointment. Mr Willis Bund proposed that Supt. Williams, Llandyssul, should be appointed, but on the cast- ing vote of the Chairman, Mr Peter Jones' motion that Inspector Edward Williams, of Liverpool, be appointed was passed. The motion on again being put was carried by 12 votes to nine. <:> Inspector Bdward Williams, of the Liverpool police, is an exceedingly smart-looking officer, whose appearance and demeanour made an excel- lent impression when he appeared before the committee on the first occasion. He is a native of Holywell, and can give evidence in Welsh. He has been twenty years in the Liverpool police. having had direct charge of a division of 250 men, having to do the clerical work of the division. He is well up in the administrative part of the work. He had, however, no experience of rural work, all his experience being of police work in towns. He had been two-and-a-half yeara inspector and had passed a two days' examination which all officers of the Liverpool force must pass before promotion to inspector or superintendent's position.
