KORTII WALES ASSIZES. ANGLESEY. THE Summer Assizes for the county of Anglesey Was held at Beaumaris on .Monday by the Lend Chief Justice Coleridge, who had arrived in the town on the previous Saturday, ilis lordsiiip I attended Beaumaris Church on Sunday, accum- panied by the High Sheriff (Colonel Hunter), t ie Under Sheriff (Mr. K. 11. rritchnrd. Bangor) and L the javelin men. The- service was read by tie curate-iii-chnr^e (the Lev. Robert Jones), the preacher being the l{ eV. Richard Roberts, rector of Llant'echell (sherill's chaplain). c The High Sli.:riLf, who wore the unitoim Oi deputy-lieutenar.t, had a splendid turn-out, the liveries having been supplied by Mr. U. Cameron, Bangor. The following gentlemen were swcrn on the GHANDJUUY:— Colonel T. L. Hampton Lewis (foreman). William Massey, Esq. William Humphrey Owen, Esq.

TJIK CHARGR. Hi.s Lordship said that it' it had been his good fortune to come there about a week ngo. I10 would absolutely have had nothing to say to them; but last week had produced one prisoner. and with that prisoner be hoped they should satisfactorily deal. It was a mutter of real con- gratulation that, crime in that county was so light; but that case was obliged to be tried there, as it was proper that the gaol should be delivered, and the case was a simple one. There were two matters upon which he desired to s.iy a few words. One 11,111 reference to the proposed removal of the assizes from Beaumaris to some other place in the county. If the time ha.d come when it was a purely Anglesey question, with which no one else h,HI anything to do, to remove the assizes from that pleasant twid beautiful place to a place more convenient to the in- nnbitants generally, all he would say was that the judges had hut to go where the people of Anglesey thought Jit and proper to .-end them. The other matter he wished to refer to, and which he had mentioned in all other counties he had attended, was the change proposed to be made in the relations between judges and high sheriffs. From his experience, extending over seventeen years, he thotild say that no change would benefit his lalations with the high sheriffs, which relations he hoped would long continue. AN IMPUBKNT THEFT AT HOLYHRAD. Percy 11. Creer (20) was charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, the property of Preston Warden, Holyhead..Mr.LIonoratus Lloyd prosecuted, and Mr. Fitzroy Lloyd (instructed by iir. T. R. Evans) defended.—Mr. Lloyd said the prisoner was charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, the property cf Preston Warden, who kept a colfee house ut Holyhead. On the 4th inst., the wife of Warden heard some one going upstairs and found the prisoner and another young man on the stairs. From this house the prisoner went to the Victoria Temper- ance in Market-street. Mr. Warden woke up at .«ix o'clock and found his watch and chain gone. There was a train leaving Holyhead about six o'clock and getting to Bangor about seven, and it was believed that the prisoner left by that train, and evidence would be produced showing that the prisoner called with several jewellers at Bangor, offering the watch and chain for sale.— Mr. Warden was called and said he worked for the City of Dublin Company, and was on duty part ot the day and part of the night. On the day in question he went home about two o'clock in the afternoon, and went to bed about a quarter past three. He put his wntcii and chain on the top of the chest-of-drawers and closed the bedroom door. When he awoke, about six o'clock, he found his bedroom door open and his watch and chain missing.—Mrs. Ellen Warden proved seeing the prisoner and another man upstairs. — Evidence was also given by Jane Thomas and Anne Roberts as to the prisoner's visit, to the Victoria Temperance Inn. — Walter Mackenzie Williams, jeweller, Bangor, said that prisoner called upon him and asked him to purchase a gold guard. He asked witness to give him a sovereign for it, and witness said he would have nothing to do with him.—Mr. William John Owen, also a jeweller at Bangor, said that two men. one of whom was the prisoner, called upon him, asking him to advance money on a watch, Witness replied that he could not do that as he had no licence, He then asked witness if he would buy the watch as hewasshortof cash. Witness replied that he did not want it.—Cross-examined Prisoner did not -er me a chain for sale.—Mr. Hugh Owen. jeweller, Bangor, said that two men called at his shop on the ocli July. Witness could Dot swear that prisoner was one of them, although he was very much like him. The man wanted money advanced on the watch, and the witness said he could not give him any. The man then offered it for sale at 10s., but witness declined to tike it.-P.C. Owen Jones proved arresting prisoner at Bangor. Prisoner first of all swore that he had come from London on the previous night, and had not been to Holyhead. In his possession was found £ 2 (K IHd., and he also had a bag containing- 14 pawn tickets, a revolver, askeietonkev, a hammer, and a savings bank book.—The jury j found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour,
CLAIM roil POSSESSION OK KAB.AIS.…
CLAIM roil POSSESSION OK KAB.AIS. William Owen, Ty'nvpwii, Llar.dvfrydog, brought an action against Edward IVilfiKin, Ynysgwyddel, and Captain Owen Thomas, Bryndu, to obtain possession of lands and tene- ments called Gor. Pennclieldre, Tyddyn Madog, and Tyddyn Moelydd. The grounds of the claim were that the plaintiff was the heir-at- law of one Ellen Owen, deceased or, it that was not the case, that he took possession, aud was now in possession. Ellen Owen resided up to the 18th March last at Gors. She was a single woman, dyingr intestate and after her death the plaintiff, it was stated, took posses- sion of Gors, and informed the tenant of the other tenements that he was in possession. Shortly afterwards the defendant Williams came upon the scene, and stated that he also was going to take possession. in order to prevent any unseemly proceedings, both parties agreed to go out of possession, and to hand over pos- session to Captain Thomas, who was a nominal defendant, until it had been decided by the court which of them was entitled to tiie pro- perty.-The defendant admitted that Ellen Owen was in possession at the time of her death, but claimed that be, and not the plaintiff, was Ellen Owen's heir-at-law. The defendant further denied that, the plaintiff came into pos- session, and claimed that Captain Thomas held possession of the property as agent for and on behalf of him (the defendant;.—Messrs. J. Bryn and T. Fitzroy Lloyd (instructed by Mr. Thornton Jones; were for the plaintiff; Messrs. Morgan Lloyd, (re., and E. II. Llovd A (instructed by Mr. E. G. Roberts) for the defendant. William's and Mr. Malcolm Douglas (instructed by Mr. Thornton Jones) for the de- fendant Thomas.—A considerable number of witnesses were examined, with a view to proving the plaintiff's pedigree.—Ills Lordship found for the plaintiff without costs, Mr. Bryn Roberts, on behalf of the plaintiff, stating that his client, who was a richer man than Williams, would forego the costs. A HOLYIIEAD WILL CASK. Elizabeth Roberts, widow, of Twr, Holyhead, brought an action against Anne Ilnghes, Moun- tain,Holyhead, and Mary Owen, Llangristiolus, by which she claimed to be the sole executrix of William Roberts, Twr Farm. Holyhead—Mr. F. Marshall and Mr. Bryn Roberts (instructed by Mr. T. B, Evans) were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Morgan Lloyd, (!,C., and ^r- E. II. Lloyd (instructed by Mr. E. G. Roberts) were for the defendants.—Mr. Marshall said the plaintiff sought to establish the will of the lale William Roberts, a respectable farmer, who occupied Twr Farm for about twenty years. On the 3rd of April last he died at the age of 74 years. The defendants were two sisters of the deceased, and they disputed the will on three grounds, namely, that it was not duly executed; that the deceased was incapable of making 1 will; und that the plaintiff had used undue influence over him (the deceased). The circumstances under which the will was made were as follows;—Mr. Roberts, the testator, was undoubtedly in good health and going about his business until the Tuesday before he died. On the Monday he attended a funeral, and whether he caught a chill or not was not known, but it seemed to be the case because on the following morning he was seized with illness, and ultimately suffered from inflammation of the lungs. In consequence of this, and his age, it was thought desirable, and he himself suggested it, that Mr, John Roberts, estate agent, should be sent for to make his will. Mr. Roberts found j the testator sleeping at the time, and therefore went there on the following day. It was lmpor- tantto observe that Dr. Trevor Williams, who had been attending the testator for eight or nine years was at the house at the time when Mr Roberts came on the Wednesday morning, and the doctor would be called and would tell the jury that the deceased was then undoubtedly perfectly rdional and lit to make a will. After the doctor came downstairs, Mr. Roberts went up. and the testator shook him by the hand. Mr. Roberts said, Don't you think it is desiraole to arrange your affairs?" and the testator replied, That is the very thing why I have sent for you. Mr. R iberts asked him to whom he wished to leave his property, and he said he wished to leave it to his wife. Mr. Roberts asked whether he wished to leave it to her absolutely, aud he said "No; for her life, and after her ueatu to his nephew and his niece.—Mr. John Roberts, agent I. r. + 1- j to the Trecastell Estate, men uu.e mu mc opening statement of counsel. Cross-examined, witness said he found the testator pertect-ly collected and in sound mind.-Mr. Owen Jones, Trewilmot, near Holyhea^, spotie to being present when the will wras prepmed. Witness did not notice anything wrong with William Roberts's mind.—Dr. O. Trevor il- liams. Holyhead, said he had known the late William Roberts for about 20 years, and had attended him before his death. L: p to the Tuesday, Ist of April, Roberts s general health was very good. On two occasions he had a fir, about eight months before his last illness; but he got about and was able to do his usual work afterwards. Witness'could not say whether it was an epileptic fit or not, as Roberts was com- paratively well when witness got toere. lie did not show any weakness ot mind that witness could see. Oa Tuesday, the 1st of April, witness was sent for, and saw the testator twice that day and twice 011 the day on which he died. There was nothing in the nature of paralysis on the Tuesday, and on that day his mind was quite clear. He answered every question witntss asked him. Witness suggested to him on both diws that he had better make his will. Oll Thursday paralysis- set iii.-Cro.s-exp rnilie,,I: lie answered all the questions put to him, but on Thursday morning tie commenced to sink. His Lordship (to Air. Lloyd): H::ve you anything to say against this evidence? This appears to be a very strong case. Are you 1 going to ask the jury to disbelieve this? If liot, you had better say so at once. A case of this sort ought not to be kept up unless there is good evidence on the other side. Mr. Morgan Lloyd: Of course, the sisters j think they have. His Lordship: They are angry, no doubt, as all disappointed persons are, but here you have the evidence of these gentlemen who have sworn that the testator was perfectly clear in j his mind. Mr. Morgan Lloyd I have no means of con- tradicting the evidence of these witnesses, and under the circumstances I do not think I can call upon the jury to try the case. His Lordship: I think Mr. Lloyd has used very good sense, as he really has no case. The foreman of the jury": We agree that the will is all right, my lord. His lordship then found for the will with costs. This concluded the business of the court. DENBIGHSHIRE. The summer assizes for the county of Denbigh were held at Ruthin on Wednesday, before the LordOhief Justice the Right Hon. Lord Coleridge. His Lordship arrived at liuthin the previous evening, and was met at the statiou by teir W. V»r. Wynn, Bart., the high-sheriff; Mr. Thomas Bury, the under-sheriff, and a posse ot police under command of Supt. Vaughan. His lordship was escorted to his lodgings, aud having robed proceeded to the court where lie opened the commission, and afterwards attended divine service at St. Peter's Church when, a sermon was preached by the Rev. G. M. Ashdown, the Bishop's chaplain. THE G It AND JURY. The court opened soon after ten o'clock, the following being eaipauelled on the gruod jury:— Sir W. Grenville Williams (foremao). Colonel H. It. Hughes. W. D. W. Griiffth, Esq. F. H. Barker, Esq. W. Chambres, Esq. W. Kerr, Esq. Captain J. C. Best. Edward Evans, Esq. Archibald Peel, Esq. "■ Owen Slaney Wynne, Esq, A. E. Tumour, Esq. Major-General c> Wynne. J. R. Jenkins, Esq. Thomas Williams, Esq. •' Captain F. B. O. Coie. J. E. Ofdtield, Esq. C. W. Towushend, Esq. G. H. Denton, E>q. Captain H. R. Howard. Sir R. E. Egerton. John Briscoe, Esq. John Briscoe, Esq. E. W. Da vies, Esq. THE CHARGE. In his charge to the grand jury. his Lordship said that although they had assembled in large numbers there was very little for them to do. lie congratulated them heartily on the state of crime in the county, and he was sure they would not regret the fact that there was such a small amount of business, whether in point of amount or quality of crime. The two cases to come before them were not marked with any great enormity, nor were the circumstances very serious. His lordship then went on to say that he did not know what would happen in future as to arrangements between mayors and high sheriffs. There was a bill before Parliament to relieve people of the duties of high sheriffs, and if those duties were onerous he agreed they should be relieved, and transfer them to the County Councils. He had every respect for the County Councils, but they were an untried body, and having been upon the bench for 17 years, he could say that be did not desire any better regulations than at present existed. It was, however, a matter for the country gentlemen, who had to perform these duties, but he could say on behalf of his brother judges, and what- ever may be the fate of the bill, they did not desire and did not expect any improvement on the present arrangements. lIe hoped that what- ever happened nothing would tend to make these arrangements less pleasant. The grand jury then retired and returned true bills against all the persons. THE CHARGE OF SETTING FIRE TO MOEL FAMMA. Joseph Green, pawnbroker's assistant, and Henry North, printer, both of Mold, were charged with setting lire to certain heath on Moel Famma on May 25th last, on property belonging to Mr. Potts, and over which Mr. H. L. Horsiall has the right of shooting.—Mr. Honoratus Lloyd prosecuted, and Mr. Marshall defended.—Ihe tacts of the case have already been reported, and were, briefly, that a number of young men, amongst whom were the prisoners and a third man named Shaw, who had absconded, went to Moel Famma to see the sun rise on the morning of the 25th. On the way home the heath in different spots was tired by, the prosecution alleged, the prisoners and Shaw. The only evidence called to prove the case against prisoners was Percy Jones, Mold, who said he saw them bend down, strike a match, and apply it to the heather.—The defence was that prisoners bent down to light their pipes, Jones admitting rhat they were smoking when they stood up.—Mr. Marshall addressed the jury in a powerful speech, and prisoners were found not guilty. ALLKGKD INDECENT ASSAULT. Albert Edwards, labourer, Broughton, a young man, was charged with indecently assaulting Mary Jones, 19, daughter of Robert Jones, Bryn- it-a, Broughton, on June 29th.—Mr. Marshall prosecuted, aad Mr. Lloyd defended. — The defence was that it was a case of mistaken identity, and prisoner was acquitted. — The verdict was received with applause, which was instantly suppressed. This ended the business. The High-sheriff entertained the bar and grand jury to luncheon, the proceedings being private.
BLASTING FATALITY" IN AI WELSH…
BLASTING FATALITY" IN A I WELSH QUARRY. ON Friday afternoou, about 3.30 o'clock, when some blasting operations were in progress at the Penwyllt Silica Slate Quarries, a terrible ac- cident occurred by which two men named Griffith Griffiths, 33, married, and Thomas Morgan, 24, married, were literally blown to pieces. Another man named William Jones, of Grithig, has suffered such fearful injuries that he is not expected to survive. A very painful phase of the affair is tlipt both the widows, as well as the wife of the injured man, will shortly be confined, and, all being in reduced circum- stances, are likely to suffer great privations. Madame Patti, when informed of the sad occur- rence, immediately sent a messenger to make inquiries, and, besides giving substantial aid to the families of the victims, has also placed the luxuries of Craigynos Castle at the disposal and for the relief of the injured man.
ITHE BABY ON THE BATTLE-HELD
I THE BABY ON THE BATTLE-HELD ON the night after the battle of Waterloo, in the blood-stained mire of a ploughed lield, lay an English officer, dead where he fell. At his side lay the body of his wife, who had followed him from England, and perhaps arrived in time to receive his last sigh. On his breast was their baby, sound asleep, and smiling amid that dreadful scene as though angels were inspiring its dreams. Ah, God, what a tiling is chihihood touching heaven in its innocence and e.¡rth in its agony. While we have the cilildrell llOW large the places they fill Wlien we lose them how great the vacancies they leave Read the story of an escape, as told by a parent. My daughter, Lillian Kate, now eleven years old, had always been delicate. She was pale and thin, ar.d it seemed as though a breath of cold air would destroy her. She was now better, now? worse, but never wed. In the summer of 1885 she complained of a sense of weight in her chest and siae. Her abdomen was distended as though she had over-eaten, when in fact she ate scarcely more than a bird. She spoke of a bad taste in the month, and would always be holding her sides, or placing her hands against her temples, as if to relieve the pressure there. She also had pains between the shoulders, and her breath was very offensive. She was always tired and languid, and, though naturally a bright, intelligent child, would lie for hours in a listless condition. She grew weaker and weaker until she could scarcely stand. We thought her to be in a decline. Then came a sign even more alarming—a short, dry, deep-sounding cough. My wife and I feared it was consumption. In our anxiety we consulted the doctors, who said, Yen, your daughter has consumption." What a sad prospect, for us! About Christmas, ISS5,1 removed my family from Huntingdon to Manchester. Poor Lillian was too weak to make tii- journey with us she remainen with her grandmother, Mrs. Lock, at Thorp Farm, West Hurling, Norfolk. Still the dear child sank from week to "le.k. What was our surprise some time afterwards to receive a letter from Grandmother Lock, reading like this: —"Lillian Ú very much better. She is en tin/; well and sleeping well: and the roses are coming in to her thin cheeks:' What could have happened? In another month we had the happiness of wel- coming our daughter in our new home in Manchester. How great was our joy when we saw the wonderful change which had taken place in her. She is now a fine healthy child and never ails anything more than any girl may. Now, what wrought, this change ? What gave us back our daughter, seemingly almost from the brink of the grave? I will answer frankly. for there is nothing to conceal:—Seeing her deplorable state, and that none of the medicines she had taken proved appropriate to her strange malady, Mrs. Lock one day said to herself, I think I will give Lillian a dose out of my bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup." She (Mrs. Lock) had received immense benefit from this medicine herself for a complicated disease. It was given to Lillian, and the good effect was immediate. She at once rested more tranquilly and had something of an appetite, and a little later Mrs. Lock was justified in writing to us as I have already stated. (Signed) FREDERICK BUTCHER, 6, Birch Road, Crumpsail, near Man- chester. Mr. and Mrs. Butcher are people of the highest respectability awd well educated. For some years Mr. Butcher was an assistant at the greit shop of the Messrs. Lewis, Market Street, Man- chester, and an impartial acquaintance writes that Miss Lillian Kate Butcher is one of the brightest young girls to be met with anywhere- quick, precocious and full of vivacity and wit. Speaking of the daughter's recovery, her mother says: I do not care what any one may say, there is no medicine so good as Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Many years ago I lost my poor darling Hilda, who was taken off suddenly with an affection of the brain, and I really think if we bad given her Mother Seigel's Curative Syrnp. instead of trusting to something else, she would have been spared to us." The proprietors of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup desire to make no false impressions. The young girl did not have consumption :-She suffered from indigestion and dyspepsia, aud from poverty of the blood, like myriads of her sex. The hollow cough, which sounded so consump- tive, was one of the symptoms, not the disease. She needed life and strength from her food, but bow could she get it with her stomach torpid and dead ? Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup corrected the ailment at its root, and recovery quickly followed. We repeat once more the fact that is taught by this interesting case:- When in doubt treat any and all complaints as symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia, and in nine instances out of ten you will see just such a wonder as narrated above. We wish long life and happy days to this youag lady and her good parents and friends.
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE FOR CRICCIETH…
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE FOR CRICCIETH AND PWLLHELI. AT the request of a number of the inhabitants of Criccietb and Pwllheli, Sir John Puleston wrute recently to the Hon. H. C. Lawrence, one of the directors of the London and North-Western Railway Company, to urge that better conven- iences should be provided by the London and North-Western Railway Company for the con- veyance of tourists to these towns. In reply, Mr. Lawrence has forwarded to Sir John the following letter addressed to bim by Neele, superintendent of the line Euston Station, London, July 18th, 1890. Dear Sir,—With reference to Sir J. Puleston's letter of the 11th inst., Criccieth and Pwllheli are somewhat remote points for tourists from London, and either by way of Welshpool or Bangor the trains have to travel a considerable distance on single lines of railway, the stoppages on which naturally prolong the time occupied by the train service. We have placed the service to and from these places on our fast boat trains between London and Bangor, but the dehys between the coast and Bangor are, no doubt, annoying. Our time tables are already printed and widely dis tributed for the season, and it will not be practicable to make any change now*, but the question shall be thoroughly considered against next year."

At the invitation of Messrs. Bostock and Bailey, the children visited those gentlemen's circus and menagerie at Portma.doc, and greatly enjoyed themselves. A SAD AFFAIR. Mr. Owen Jones referred to a sad case. He had been in a house at Festiniog where a boy, 14 years of age, had become demented. The mother was at the Asylum, and the father wanted her to return, as the woman who used to look after the chouse had left. Mr. Robert Jones said the boy was also dumb. All agreed that the case was a most sad one. If the mother I came home, the state of the boy might upset her again but the father prayed that the authorities should let her come.—Resolved to write to the Asylum authorities iu favour of permitting the return of the woman if it were safe to allow her to remove. A rAFPER ADVERTISING. Attention was drawn to an advertisement which appeared in a local paper from Catherine Rogers, Tanygrisiau, who was in receipt of 4s. 6d. a week from the union, to the effect that & legal course would be taken if hens or any other poultry, or people, be seen trespassing on lands belonging to the said Catherine Rogers after the date hereof.It was resolved to tell the advertiser that she was not to spend her money in advertisemen ts.

ICORRESPONDENCE.
I CORRESPONDENCE. WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. r To the Editor. SIR,—My object in writingfthe letter to whioh Mr. Bryn Roberts, M.P., replied in your last issue, was not to enter into the "pledge con- troversy. On the contrary, I appealed for [concentration and unity of efIo. t in the endeavour we were making to obtain, otherwisa than by threats, satisfactory assurmces that Welsh Disestablishment should be dealt with by the next Liberal Government, and I ■ deprecated a renewal of that controversy until j and unless our demands were rejected. Th« arguments pro. and con. had been already fully and ably stated by many gentlemen (Mr. Roberts included) in the Welsh press, and 011 that ground, also, I thought it inadvisable to re-open the case. Stiti less is it necessary for me to ao so now, in view of the declarations already made by several Liberal leaders, and after the cordial and satisfactory reception that was last week given to our representations by the General Purposes Committee of the National Liberal Federation. It appears to me that the successful issue of the action of the Welsh Liberal organisations, backed as it was by the press and puolic opinion of Wales, has rendered it unlikely that Welsh Liberals need again con- template the taking of an independent course. Whatever doubts may have been originally felt as to the timeliness of the Rhyl res ,mnon- and I confess I shared those doubts—they will now have been dispelled, for the action of the executive has proved to be a master-stroke of policy. It gave expression, in an informal way, to the growing and prevailing discontent in Wales. It called the attention of the Liberal leaders to the real magnitude of our grievance and our case was so strong and our claim so j reasonable that we had only to obtain their serious attention in order to ensure success. Absorbed as they were with the consideration | of Irish and other questions, they had neglected to inquire sufficiently into our condition, and never before had they realised to any adequate degree the intensity of the evils the alien Church creates. They will, however, now recognise that the injury to the religious and social lite of the Principality, caused by the continuance of the Establishment, must indeed be grave when the prospect of further delay drove the Liberals of Wales—the most faithful wing of the Liberal party—even to contemplate severance from that party. The very prematureness" and quasi-informality of the Rhyl resolution were an advantage. It is well that the matter came to an issue as early as possible, for our fears will be the sooner allayed, and the strain upon our loyalty the sooner stayed. It is also well that the resolution was a resolution of the executive and not of the con- ference. An expression of opinion by members of the executive, acting without special instruc- tions from the conference, was not of a suffi- ciently authoritatively character to compel the Liberal leaders to refuse to listen to us 011 the ground that they could not yield to threats. A similar resolution passed by the conference might have had tbat effect. In reply to some of Mr. Roberts's observa- tions, I wish to point out that the suggested pledge would only have come into operation in the event of the Liberal loaders wilfully refus- ing a perfectly just and reasonable request also that it differed from the piedge asked for by the Rev. Evan Jones at Carnarvon in the fact that it was only intended to take effect at the general election, and as the ultimate resource after all other arguments had been used in vain. Personally, the furthest step I ever thought might be taken would be abstention from voting—my mind would have revolted against y the idea of Welsh M.P.'s supporting a Tory; Government-and I hold that tnere would have been no immorality in saying to the Liberal leaders If you unjustly refuse to help us, who have waited patiently for over 20 years, you shall do without our help." Mr. Bryn Roberts argues that the whole move- ment has arisen out of a question of priority of a ) ear or two. Such is not the case. The intensity of feeling came from the certainty that unless Welsh Disestablishment were put before j the country at the next general election, it could not be dealt with by the next Parliament; and from the well-grounded fears that it might therefore not be settled for three or four Parlia- ments and for another ten or fifteen years. The next Parliament ought to have a distinct mandate to deal with it, and it should be dealt with before the Irish members (all or in parr) leave the Imperial Parliament or lose all inducements to attend with regularity. I must, before dealing directly with Mr. Roberts's reply to me, protest against the words "rebellion," "treason," which he uses ill reference to possible differences between the Liberal party in Wales and the Liberal party in England. Welsh Liberals tire in alliance with the Liberals of England, and are their best friends but they are under no bonds of allegiance to them. I must also protest against the comparison of the London, the Socialistic, and the labour questions with Welsh Disestablishment. None ot the former have been burning questions for 20 years. Moreover, Wales is a nation, and the comparison of a sectional demand with the demand of a separate people is quite beside the mark, Mr. Roberts, howerer, does not sufficiently appreciate the fact of our nationality as an argument for our rights, and his blindness on this point, to some extent, accounts for the strange attitude he has of late taken before the public. The fact is that the representatives of the Welsh Liberal organisations are looking in the right direction; if they commit errors they fail into them through over-earnestness, over-zeal, and over-anxiety for Wales. It would be well for Mr. Roberts to try and imitate even their faults. He, on the other hand. is looking in the wrong direction, and acts like a hired bravo, engaged to fight through thick and thin against those who work earnestly for their country. I did not, and I do not, quarrel with Mr. Roberts for arguing against the pledge. It is perfectly clear that all of those who tooK part in tne con- troversy did good service to Wales. The object of my letter was, so far as it referred to Mr. Roberts, to rebuke him for the extraordinary acrimony he displayed, and for his grave mis- representation of Welsh opinion. He attacked colleagues of his own in Parliament and the members of the Federation Executive, because they ventured to differ from him, and he still stubbornly persist, and even glories, in his violent language, though I have given him Mi opportunity to apologise fur words that I hoped might have been used in haste. I He intimated that the Welsh people were satisfied with the attitude of the Liberal leaders to Wales, and I challenged him to get his asser- tions adopted by his own or any other consti- tuency association, or to get them supported by even an appreciable minority. He does not dare to accept my challenge, but goes from bad to worse, and expresses his scorn of Liberal associations in general-a constituency associa- tion being evidently in his opinion a fit and proper body to select him as a Parliamentar can- didate, but unrepresntative for any ether purpose. lie bints that resolutions passed by such bodies are quite untrustworthy, that the press is equally unreliable, and urges Mr. Gladstone rather t3 gauge the present feeling of Wales by what he saw and heard in South Wales three years ago. He adroitly endeavours to discredit the Liberal associations by appealing from them to the ''silent, sober-minded" men, deacons, aud ministers, who do not attend political committees out of their own parish, and thus endeavours to 1 create ill-feeling and promote jealousy between the Liberal voters and the delegates appointed by them to attend the meetings of the more central organisation. This, it must be observed, comes from the man whose indignation rises almost to frenzy at the thought of any division between the Liberal party in Wains and thepurty in England, and who so loudly talks of rebellion, and mutiny in that connection. Ardour for union should, however, like charity, begin at home and, if accusations Of treason are to be bandied about, I should like to ask, who stirs up mutiny in Wales, and who is the traitor to the cause of Welsh unity? But Mr. Roberts's assertions and insinuations are wholly groundless, for Welsh Liberals, whether they be or be not delegates to the constituency associations, are quite at one in their opinion as to the recent treatment of Wales by the Liberal leaders, the :a,- Welsh constituency and other associations are truly representative, and these associations and the North Wales executive are mainly composed of the deacons and ministers whose views he professes to respect. Further, when Mr. Roberts attempts to deny the representative character of the Welsh Liberal organisations, he strikes as hard a blow as he can at Liberal organisation throughout the United Kingdom as well as in Wales, for Liberal associations are everywhere constituted on the same principle, Since Mr. Roberts has chosen to sit in the seat of the scornful, and since neither the representa- tives of the Welsh people ill Parliament, nor on the executive, nor on the constituency associa- tions, can escape the arrows of his contumely— the" silent, sober-minded" people would meet with the same fate but for their silence "—I think I may fairly ask what service has Mr. Roberts rendered to Wales in any capacity, whether in Parliament or on religious, educa- tional, administrative, or political bodits, to justify his assuming this superior person air. Even if Mr. Roberts had devoted himself to ) his country with the energy he reserves for I attacking his political friends, if he had shown himself bold a,nd stubborn tor Wales as he is bold and stubborn against Welshmen, and if he had been as enthusiastic for any public object as he is enthusiastic against, the enthusiasm of j others, there would have been no justification for the tone he adopts, but it would not then have appeared so Mipremely and ridiculously arrogant, in a letter in a Welsh paper Mr. Roberts the other day expressed an opinion that it is a matter of comparative indifference if Scotch does precede Welsh disestablishment, and inti- mated that he is quite prepared to furnish arguments in favour of that course. In his anxiety to depreciate the work of Lhe Welsh Liberfil organisation, he flouts the National Liberal Federation, and hints that any resolutions or expressions oi opinion obtained by the Welsh federations from ttiat body or from the Liberal leaders are comparatively valueless. These things, with his attack upon Welsh Libera! organistion rn(l. upon Welsh workers, only show to what strangf. lengths a man will proceed if he once goes W"f"¡:Jg. Mr. Roberts does not attempt, to meet the detailed proof I gave of the serious inattention of the Liberal leaders to the cause of Welsh Dises- tablishroent. He rides away on an eulogv of Mr. Gladstone—an eulogy which was quite L, u- necessary. Tiie Welsh people know well his un- paralleled services to liberty for half a century, and no smaller man than Mr. Gladstone himself could in any way shake their confidence in him. But, it is they who, fearlessly and even at tiie risk of appearing disrespectful, tell him tne plain truth who are in reality Mr. Gladstone's friends, and not- they who deceive him as to the feeling of the country. Mr. Roberts makes something of my delay in | dealing with his letter, but I refrained fromdcing so for some time just because I knew that the fact that 1 do not can myself a follower of Mr. Gladstone on the Irish question offered sncll an obvious point of attack to those who could not answer my arguments I only did so, finally, because J felt, that the perversion of Welsh sen- timent. contained in Mr. Roberts's letters re- quired the meet public contradiction, and I also felt that the Welsh people would quickly see through any attempt, such as Mr. Roberts has made, to throw dint in their eyes. I should have answered his reply of the 14th sooner, but that I was engaged the whole of last week on political and educational business. But the allusion to my Unionism, coming from Mr. Roberts, is a little shabby. He well knows that in 1b86 I voted for two Welsh Gladstonian can- didates, and that I then gave in Wales nearly a fortnight of my time, at my own expense, to assist, them. He also knows that since then I have given no small portion of my time to eudeavoar to strengthen to the best of my ability the Liberal party iu North Wales, though it is a Gladstonian party. He might also have known that since we can get remedial measures for Wales from that party only, I rejoice as heartily in the access of Gladstonian candidates in England as any Gladstonian of them all. In fact. I might be described as a Unionist in theory but a Gladstonian in practice. With regard to Intermediate Education, I can only reaffirm that the lale Liberal Government promised to introduce a measure, and broke their promises session after session that they left office without giving us an Act; and, with a v;ew to conciliate Wales, the Tories passed a bill which they disliked, but by an error of omission, I did great, injustice to Mr. Mundella, one of the best friends Hules has ever had. T In the. first piece, it is to him we owe the report of the departmental committee, the charter of Welsh education. It is not through any fauit of his that the promises were broken. It was to him we owe the sanction of the Treasury to a Government grant in aid of the J-l. rate. It was lie who fought the battle for us Yor nine long years, and who gave to our interests scores of weary nights of waiting and watching in the House. It was he who, with rare unselfishness, last year handed over his bill to a Welsh member in order to ensure its intro- duction, though by so doing his own name would not appear on the statute book, and though thereby probably not one Welshman out of 20 would ever come to know what we owe him. Even after the bill had been taken over by Mr. Rondel, Mr. Mundella continued to labour for us with t ne same energy and persistence as belore. I wish in this connection to state that Mr. Bryn Roberts also, for similar reasons. last year and this year allowed his Land Bill of 1888 to go under the names of other memDers. I also wish to express my regret, that I did not add the name of Mr. Mundella and the Marquis of Itipon to that of Sir George Trevelyan, as Liberal leaders who out of Wales have advocated Welsh Disestablish- ment. In conclusion, Mr. Roberts's attacks upon the Welsh representatives and workers in and out of Parliament have been perfectly harmless, and have simply recoiled upon his own bead, and the injury his misrepresentations may have caused tir.ve been counteracted. But the success we have achieved has been in spite of the Welsh Nonconformist member for Eivion, and his res- ponsibility is as serious as if his attempt to mis- represent Wales and to damage Liberal organi- sation had been productive of lasting mischief. Let him Lave now at least the grace to repent and to reform. I have pointed out to him his line of doty l^t him follow it. If he replies, let him keep to the point. I must firmly decline to help him cut of the hole in which he has landed himself, by following all or any red herrings he may drag across the trail. If I have expressed acyseif somewhat strongly, I can at least plead ti e example of Mr. J. Bryn Roberts, M.P,, and that he was the aggressor. R, A. JONES. 4, Harrington-street, Liverpool, July :.t.:Ðd, 1890. A CHURCH UNION. To ihe El-iicr. Stc.—The other day I read an interesting account of a Church union organised between the Churches in the parishes of Llandinorwic and Llanberis, for the puipose of stimulating Sunday School work, and improving the choral end congregational singing, &c. I would suggest the formation of such a union for the parish of Llaubeblig (where it would do a great amount or good), together with some of the neighbouring rural parishes. The congregational singing is not what one would wish it to be. Mr. W. F;jrren, A.K.C., formerly choirmaster of St. Mary's Church, initiated a good work for improving the singing but no one followed his example, and the matter has since dropped from want of support. A new hymn book is very much needed for the Welsh Church. To achieve this object. I would suggest the formation of a committee, to consist of the Welsh bishops and others, to discuss the matter. The Nonconformists, I must say, are now paying particular attention to their congre- gationcl singing by having new hymn books and organs for their public worship. I trust to see those in authority move in the matter as soon as possible,—Yours, kc WELSHMAN. July 24th, 1890.

Roberts objected to the bill being paid on the grounds that the school was not a proper elementary school within the meaning of the Act.—Rt_v. P. Williams would second Mr. Roberts provided the rule be applied to all other similar schools in the union.—The Chair- man said that the rule was in force alreadv.— Mr. Roberts and Mr. O. Evans also complained of the harm caused by such schools.—The bill was disallowed. THE ARERDARON WHALE. Mr. John Tocmas, the sanitary inspector, said he and Mr. Edward Williams, the Aberdaron guardiar, had made the best terms they could for the burial of the whale that came ashore a fortnight ago. The bill amounted to 37s. 6d. The had to use saws before the big fish could bo cut up.—The Chairman thought the charges very reasonable. THE NEW LUNACY LAWS. Mr. E.M.Griffith, one of the relieving officers had get into a fix when taking a lunatic to the asylum. The form necessary to be filled in such cases had been provided by the clerk of the magistrates, but the asylum authorities refused to admit the lunatic unless another form were filled up. This necessitated the officer going to a medical man at Denbigh and paying him a guinea.—it was remarked that, another pauper from this union had been admitted when the form of application for admission was the same as the one refused in this Case.—It was resolved to draw the attention of the asylum authorities to the matter, and to say that if they had admitted cr.e mj.n and refused another when the forms were the same in each case, they should refund the extra expenses paid by the relieving officer, 1
FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.
FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. Materials of the thinnest textures are being' employed for making both fete and country gowns. Cotton canvas in light neutral shades, as well as those in decided dark colours, form very serviceable costumeB for daily wear, while both white and printed muslius compose very dainty toilets for more dressy occasions. Zephyis and fancy prints are usel not only for plain morning gowns, but are frequently iiuished 9 with trimmings of fiue lace, or embroi ery, which add greatly to their appearance, so that they may be worn during the afternoon, or as visiting toiiettes. Travelling dresses are unusually composed of beige, or thin serge, and these gowns which are made in simple styles are ouo of the most useful possible additions to a lady's wardrobe. Skirts ot both day and evening gowns are worn quite straight, and very flat in front and at the sides, the luiness of the back aloue preventing an absolutely skimped appearance. We noticed a charmiug costume in dlirk blue canvas, so simple, aud yet dressy in etlect; a square-cut yoke and coat sleeves were covered with white muslin arranged in ample folds on a lining of white silk; the lower portion of the bodice was of blue canvas gathered on to a liuiug of the same colour, and fastened to the edge of the white yoke, and under half of the sleeves bauds of blue ribbou were attached both in front and at the back of the bodice just below the yoke these were tied on the shoulders in dainty bens the t:kirt was plainly draped with the canvas, and completed at the wuist with a iibbongirdle. The inti( duction of a white yoke and sleeves, arranged in like manner, would be equally pretty with any coloured gown of a light material, and it gives a freshness and relieves the effect of a dark fabric for summer wear. Polonaises are still in vogue, aud very graoeful garments they are. The prettiest styles are those which laaten diagonally from the shoulder to the hip, and coutiuue in a straight line from that point to the feet pleats, or gathers, are much used to tet the lronts of these polonaises full across the bust, when a sm ill vest of somo thin gauze material may be inserted at the neck. Old-fashioned lllUälit18 have been re-introduced as a new tulric for composing entire costumes. White, or cteain, forms a delicate background for the coloured floral sprays which are designed and woven in the muslin, or cambric. These trans- parent materials make up into iresh gowns, and are suitable for wearing on almost any occasion; the bodices should be full, with ample sleeves, while the skirts aie plain, with the exception of a few gathered flounces set closely one above the other round the feet. Silk foundation slips should be used for muslin gowns, as they hang so much better, and look moiu dressy than when mounted on cotton skirts. Grey beige is being used to make smart boating costumes, and as it is a material which does not soii readily, it is veiy well suited lor the purpose. These toilettes usually consist of a plain round skirt, with either a fuil waistband bodice, or open jacket when the latter is worn a white or coiourtd blouse should finish the costume. Thin navy-blue serge is always the most popular fabric for composing yacht- iug costumes; it is both pretty and useful, and when a good dye is selected it stands admirably iu either line or et weather; white braid is a suitable trimming for heavy serge gowns, and gives them a fresh-looking appearance. Many bodices of serge cashmeres are being made loose, in preference to a luting corsage the back and sides set closely to the hgure, while the two fronts are folded from the shoulder-seams and crossed in front, leaving an open space from the shoulder- seams and crossed in front, leaving an open space from the neck, which is filled in with a starched linen front; a wide ribbon, or leather waistband, serures and unites the fvlueas of the bodise with the skirt. Pretty gowns for summer dances are m-de of clear white muslin, and trimmed with Valencieune lace; thaze of course are only suit- able for quite youug ladies to whom they are extremely becoming. Full round baby bodioes, cut low, witli short puffed sleeves setting high on the shoulders are completed with plain gathered skirt; two rows of insertion lace are introduced at equal distances above the hem, which is in turn edged with a border of lace. Girdles are worn in pre- ference to sashes, and these should be of ailkr ribbon, which is passed round the waist, and fas- tened on the left hip in a large bow, with ends reaching to the extreme of the skirt. Clear white muslin has been used extensively for compos- ing bridesmaids' dresses at many of the fashionable weddings this season. aud therefore it is likely to be worn a great deal for small evemug gowns. A delightful theatre costume came before our notice the other day. It consisted of a black silk skirt, edged with three gathered flounces, placed closely one above the other each one was pinked out on the lower side so that they form a dainty ruche. Over this an accoidian-pieated drapery of transparent black gauzy matenai huug from the waist, and leit a tiny portion ot the frill to be seen round the feet. The bodice was of pale pink pongee silk, with sleeves and full vest of solt white crepe. Imagine how useful and dainty such a skirt may be, as any bodice can be substituted to complete quite a different toilette. Plaiu parasols and en tous cas are no longer what they used .0 be as legards our ruler, I'asiiiou in- deed, they may be said to be quite out of it. The very simplest styles are boraered with a narrow pleated fuil ol the same fabric, whereuf the entire sunshade is covered. Others are veiled with couut- less falls of gauze or crepe, while not a few are swathed in soli, muslin. The colour of the parasol may be selected according to the fancy of the wearer, as they are made iu every imaginable shade and tone. Ciinoline hats and bonnets are the latest craze. They are made in black, white, and mauy neutral tones of colour. The lormer are usually trimmed with sprays of summer flowers, while tulle is used to foim tiny ruches and rosettes to complete the latter, in some delicate shade of colour which harmonises well with the tint of the shape. Gold and silver lace are vory becoming additions to both hats aud bonnets, when they are used as a border to the fancy cnnoliue shapes. Bonnets are varied both, as to size and style. Perhaps the most elegant are those in a horse-shoe shape. They are trimmed quite llat, and are relieved t;y a bunch of flowers, or tntee small plumes on one side. These bounets are worn far hack upon the coiffure, to which they must be well pinned, whilst a long tortoise-shell pin is used to keep them in place. Veils are worn to the chiu. They are chieily composed of the iinest tulle or cobweb net, to which three or four beauty patches are added at wide intervals in black velvet. Kouud spots, half-moons, stars, and every imaginable shape of pretty patches are fastened | upon these becoming and novel veils.—&chU<i s Muguztue oj ia.s/iivn. •
WHAT TO WEAR.
WHAT TO WEAR. So dainty and lovely are this season's cottons, sateens, and fancy silks, as to make one long for a spell ot bright, warm weather, so as to indulge as loug as possible iu pretty gowns, and which are proiusely trimmed with laoe and ribbons. Delicate muslins, dainty zephyrs and sateens, tussore silks in numerous pretty designs, as well as 6uchetfcctive veilings are all the rage, great favour being yet shown to high, full gigot sleeves, drawn or seamlesB bodice, Zouave additions in lace or velvet, while sleeves of a different material to the bodice are much patronised. In spite of the rumours that this fashion would not last very long, it has been well received, it is decidedly an economi- cal one, since it ,permits of freshening up and making fashionable an old dress. In fact, this season's fashions are all more or less economi- cal, ior silk or velvet sleeves certainly give a great style to the dress, while the Zouave pieces can be worn small, medium or large, and thus cover up a worn or shabby bodice, while by the insertion of a plastron a bodice that is too tight, or I woru shabby at the button-holes, can be rendered quite smart and wearable. Many a dress of last reason's creation, when draped backs, etc., were fashionable, can be transformed into a straight, pleated, or gatheied tunic back, by which means enough can be cut out of it to at least permit of new i fionts, or new sleeves, as the case may require. Then agaiu, materials as well as trimming are so cheap, aud lor quito a small outlay very pretty lace trimmings, ribbons, fancy, braids, etc., can be bought for reuovatiug a dress. Another fashion that proves an economical one is the introduction oi lilouse bodices, which in any part of the pretty flannels, washing fabrics, or eveu Pongee silks, are extremely cool and fresh looking. This season's styles are, if anything, more varied than ever, and for washing materials and trimmed embroidery, never were prettier designs ever introduced.
