VILE-TR,OpcftD- XEW ASSEMBLY…
VILE-TR,OpcftD- XEW ASSEMBLY LHALL AT RUTHIN. !I:t.Č [BY:AN OCt'.IkfilONAL CONTRIBUTOR.] The actioll of the Ruthin Town Council-, i. ordering the removal of the wooden stalls from the Market Hall, to provide mora accommodation for the varioua socie'tits and'oth -pia- who make tj«9 of the hall for exhibition and other purposes, cannot be too heartily commended. This decision thowatnat the Council, in spite of the BirPSni manner in which many have been in the habit of referring to it, can act wisely and well when ocoagion arisen. There can bo no objection to the course so unanimously taken, for the woodwork of the stalls will be converted into movable tables, suitable for botchers' stalls, stalls for the display of all sorts of merchandise, and so forth, and these will stand in the hall at ordinary times, while they can be removed readily and cheaply on such occasions as the Christmas Show. to assist which town's institution the action is primarily taken. But this is not the end of the scheme by any means, and the rate- payers will commend the action of the Council in considering whether the hall should not be Converted into a comfortable meeting place. It is large enough for every purpose. When projperly altered, it would be I ûåefbl for immense political demonstrations, Church or Chapel Bazaars, Popular Concerts, Great Eisteddfodau, or Theatrical Performances. It would probably hold several thousands of persons, and there are no less than four doorways for exits in ease of any alarm, while there are no stairt to impede the entrance or exit of the audiences. The front seat people could enter by one of the doors directly from the street, and the back seat people could enter by the other door from the street, while the remaining doors would be available in case of emergency. The build- ing is substantially erected, and only requires a skylight or two, a wooden floor, some windows instead of the present gratings over the doors, and its walls colour washed. An extensive gallery could be erected over the fowl market, the walls for the support of whioh are already in existence. Instead of the small shed now used for the packing of fowls, the space here could be covered over with a light roof, and all the more unpleasant portion of the present market oould be transferred hither, such as the poultry, while the butter, eggs, oorn, and so forth could be sold as now in the large hall. We arfl sore the dairymaids, farmers' wives, and others who have now to stand an hour or two every week on, a very cold flag' floor would appreciate the change to a boarut'u floor very much, not to mention the customers who buy from them, and whose convenience and comfort it is the duty of the Council to cater for as muoh aa possible. The balll of course, would he included in a comprehensive heating scheme which would embraoe also the Assembly-room, and other parts of the Municipal Buildings. On cold fair and market days, the fires could be lighted under the boilers of the apparatus, and the hall could he warmed, which would very probably draw into it the dealers who now stand out in the Square. The revenue from the place would thus be increased from its use for market purposes, not to mentioutbe revenue which would accrue from the use of the place for other pur- poses. As Mr John Roberts stated, money can now be borrowed at a very moderate rate of interest. Even if no revenue at all were obtained !r->m the expenditure of £500 on the work (which is a very outside figure) it would only cost a penny in the pound for the next 30 years, when the improved ball would become the free property of the ratepayers. But every penny earned by the hall during these years would help to bring down the sunnal cost to the burgesses, and it would be atrange indeed if the town did not make a profit on the transaction. Then it should not be for- gotten that the greater the facilities for meetings and entertainments the greater the inducements for people to settle down in the district. It may be said. "Have net you got the Assembly-room? What more do you want than that ?" Quite so but the As3embly-room is a lilliputian place compared with the Market Hall, and an expensive entertainment cannot be held there without charging high prices for the seats, while in the bigger room sueh an entertainment might be made to pay at popular prices. Some years ago the Ruthin Eisteddfod Committee desired to hold their meeting in the hall, and they spent £ 30 in putting a gallery round the top of the stalls, an expense, of course, which made the success of the affair im- possible. If the proposed scheme be carried out, this eisteddfod might be at once successfully re-established.

A. BRAVE AND GALLANT RESCUE
A. BRAVE AND GALLANT RESCUE BY A WELSHMAN IN AMERICA. The following appeared in St Louis "Daily Globe" of November 8th :— Corporal Richard Jarrett, Company L Sixth Missjuri Regiment, United States Volunteers took rank with the war's heroes last Monday night. He saved a life im- periling his own by so doing. His honourable mention has started on its long journey from regimental officers to the President, and in the course of events Congress may award him a medal and pro- motion. This regiment has seen no service and opportunities for performing the usual kind of war feats of bravery having not been afforded the regiment. However, the hour for heroism came to the Sixth on Monday night, and the man was there, but there arti few if any parallels in life. Corporal Jarrett jumped off a bridge on a dark night because a man had fallen into the river below and saved the man. Here is the way it happened. He was one of the train load of volunteers returning from St Augustine to their eamp near Jackson- ville. He was fortunate enough to gain a seat, and ha sat inside with the window next him open. The train bowled along, making few stops. It was a dark night. The train came to a stop on a bridge. The volunteers peered out of the windows to see where they were. Private McAvinnfiy j thought they were in the station, jumped out, fell over the side of the bridge to the river below. Jarrett's head was out of the window, lie heard a scream and a great splash. Deliberate not a fraction of a second; peel off his blouse and cried, Hold my coat/ With hands on the sill he drew back head and shoulders, shot forward again, straight throw the window, and down below a depth of 25 feet. His act was too quick for realization by those near him. To the men on the train it seemed an hour, but in reality it was in about three minutes that a voice, which most of them knew, shouted from the depths, Throw us a rope.' 4 Have you got him' dozens anxiously exclaimed, straining eyes in the direction from whence he came. The train crew lower, d lanterns on cords. The balls of light shown on a heroic picture full 25 feet billow that stage craft could not reproduce A man 3 arm I held fast to a bridge timber the other supported a litnp form white face, death- like, with closed eyelids. Yellow, swirling water tugged and battered to loose the man's hold on the timber and left only heads and shoulders above its edifying sur- face. A stout rope was quickly dropped with one end fast above. Jarrett tied the otherunder the arms of helpless McAvinney. With a number of sturdy volunteers' muscles he was drawn up in a trice; and the brave Corporal was drawn up in the lame way, some hundreds of volunteers cheering him. Unconscious McAvinney was soon resuscitated." In thw following week Corporal Jarrett's photo appeared in most of t.he St Louis daily papers. To the readers of the Free Press he was well known some eight years ago, he then being an articled clerk with Messrs Lloyd and Roberts, Ruthin, and is a native of Corwen. In his business capacity he holds a Very important position in one of the principal firms of St Louis, and very highly respected in that city. j
WHY PEOPLE DO NOT GO TO' CHURCH.
WHY PEOPLE DO NOT GO TO' CHURCH. It is always well to know what the other side think." The following vary succinctly written letter ought to open the eyes of Pro-Ritualists. It is quoted from. the Southport Visiter :— Sir,—Your readers will know that this, question was discussed recently at Manchester at a meeting of clergymen, with the bishop among them. Many reasons were given by the various speakers why men do not attend church. One reason given was indifference." Perhaps that was the truest reason that could be given for if men desire to go to church or chapel they will go. The fact i that people-the men ennoniullj-—are less afraid of the priest, parson, or minister than they have been in former times; or, if you like, the people do iiot -ferr God a much as in former times. Those who claim to be His special servants will insist that men must either love or fear God. Either emotion will do, it seems, though they are somewhat an- tithetical, but to be "indifferent" will never do. One of the best definitions I have seen of superstition is in the Students' Dictionary—; Unworthy ideas iu regard to the Deity." It seems to me that Chriiitians generally attribute to their ideal God many of their own little per- sonal vanities. At The Southporb Forum," some time ago, when I gave a paper, one of these earnest saints told the adiorice he would in Heaven "wear a golden crown" and that God liked us to be praising Him jasfc as Mr Simpkin, if he had a little dog, would "like it 1 to wag its tail at him." Such a sublime idea of iJeity is about equal to that generally heard from a Christian pulpit. Of course it is childish,. bat the preachers tell us we should accept their teachings aa little babes do. Surely a thoughtful man may be pardoned if: he thinks God is omnipresent, and that he, poor lttle mortal, need not "go" somewhere, or anywhere to get into God's presence and that the best "service ho can no i ,1:.0 '='" ir rVv. v V -:o- .UOttt/UfW. although on the whole, our people are »or» 8U'!ersf't'ous than they were sixty years the lRSt twenty years, and TfKt y S,lnc? death of Tyndall, and ',an ofcher fearless thinkers, there has °* revival in superstition. Of fill in rr' t-' i t? return wave of the ■ 1 orhaps the occloaiastically- dor Trnf fi?ly suPe«titious, Gladstone, ir 6|tha? any other one man to r ■ AC is to me rather surpris- ing t see in our newspaper reports of sermons preached in our Protestant Churches about the "real presence. And in the "Nineteenth! Century for this month i3 an article on the ot R" Tf?« initials stand for the Order of Corporate Reunion.M That is for the reunion of the English Church with that of Rome. I understand that the members of this « Order" are certain clergy in the Establish- ment; the writer of the said article being one of them. He writes and quotes a lot about empty churches and want of funds. He quotes. of course with approval, a Liverpool vioar as writing of I I men abominably absenting them- selves week after week. Now, even a liberty-lover like myself, may agree that "abominable" oonduct may justly be re- pressed. And there can be no doubt as to how these priemts wcmld treat absentees if they had the power they so eagerly desire to have. Of course they would put down that which they choose to call "abominable." There could not be a stronger case than this of priestly unreason. Only fancy, the more do. iug nothing—.nobbeing at church—fc in? ••abominable," What really is abominable^ the insolence of these priests who so desoribe th" oonduct of men who are quite as good as themselves. ° I am not denouncing the Roman Catholic Church, nor the English Church, nor any of the 260 or so of other Christian Churches. I am only saying a word for individual liberty of bocyr and mind. The churches are all alike to me; one good as anatkor. -Yourg, Ao., 5 J. SIMPKIN.
A STORY OF THE MOOR.
A STORY OF THE MOOR. A BsrORTBB on the staff of the Sheffield Weekly Independent, dsring a pleasant afternoon spent on the beau ;ifnl moorlands between Sheffield and Aahopton, heard a. remarkable sto»y fr«aa Mrs Blaekwell, wiflef a gamekeeper atlCossii'Kise. Sheffield and Aahopton, heard a remarkable itoPY from Mrs Blaekwell, wife of a gamekeeper atlCossii'Kise. Mrs Blaokwell, who locked plump a^d healthy, narrated her own experiences. Two years Alto her health failed, probably through overwork, and her eondition soon beeaste serums. Her symptoms were loss of appetite, loss of flesh, nervousness, chronic indigestion, and paleness. She was so weak that she could not perform her domestic caties, slept little, ead what sleep she got did not refresh ber. It wag considered that she wos glowly. dying. Pleading to describe her recovery, Mrs Blaekwell spoke as follows: Several months ago a pnmphlet was left at my house describ- ing numerous cures by Dr. Williams' Fink Pilla for File People. I noticed that many of those cored, had suffered from symptoms very similar to my own. Th'*s gave me hops, and I have a very vivid recollection of taking the first of 8a P,J lB' task of work needed doing very urgently, and I remarked to my little girl that I felt quite unable even to tUrt upon it. At dinDør time I took two of Dr. Williams' Pink fills for Pale People, and they produced a most remarkable effect. Later in the afternoon I felt quite a new woman. I began the took which WFLS a- w a i t- ingme, did it with ease, fit for I andfeii eny a- raouut ofwork From that tha. t time I recovered health and spirus rapidly* Although I have only taken three boxes of the pills, I am as w?ll as ever I waB in my life, and ha7e gained BO roach flesh that I weigh one stone heavier to day than I ever did before." The case of Mrs Blackwell is but one of thousands in which the usefulaess of Do. Wil- liams' Pink Pills has been made known to the public; the news of tbeii great cures constantly bl Ing reported in the papers. They are famous amontf the highest and the loweat in the land folt the cure of arssBmia, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, eczema, general mwseular weak- ness, rheumatism, sciatica, chronic erysipelas, and to restore pale aad sallow complexions to the gloN of health. They are also a splendid nerva and spinal tonie, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, and nervous head- ache. They are ncw obtainable of all chemists and from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, at 2s 9d a box, or six boxes for 13a 9d; but are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Pink pills sold loose orv from glass jara cannot be Dr. Williams', and won't cure you; substitutes never cured anyone!

The) wished him a long and prosperous career. and looked forward to iseeing hima climb to the top of the ladder (cheers). Major Sandbsch and his sister were thet. drawn in prooeesion to the hall,-and as severa' who took part in the procession carried torches, the scene presented was a picturesque one. The band also played music, the bells of SwIeh- ycibau church rang mdll peals, and the out- rounding bills re-echced with the discharge ct cannon. The entranee to Bryngwjn Hall park was spanned by a triumphal arch. On reaching the hall, where Mrs Sandback was waiting to receive her son, Major Sandbach thanked all from the-bottom of his heart foi their friendly wel«Onaa._ The Vicar had re- ferred to General Lewis; he was a fine soldier, and they should all feel piroud that he was a Welshman (cheer). As to the Sirdar, no cam- paign had ever been conducted in whieh all,! irom officers to privates, had placed more trnsi and Gonfideaca in their leader (cheers). He re- gretteci that Miss Willianis was not present, for ahe would have been delighted with the rpuntolni?tfs kincluess with whieh they had welcomed him home (cheers). Refreshments were handed round, and the company shortly afterwards separated.
