Caerwys and the King's I Death. I A meeting of the inhabitants of Cserwys was held in the Town Hall, on Sunday afternoon, to pass a vote of condolence with the Royal Family. The chair was occupied by Mr J Herbert Lewis, M.P., Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade. The Rector and the Nonconformist minister also took part in the meeting. In moving the resolution of condolence, Mr Herbert Lewis said that an event of this kind was a serious one in the history of any country, but with the great Empire of which they were citizens, it was one of the greatest importance. When King Edward ascended to the throne the attitude of other nations was of animosity to Britain, but the King with great cleverness and patience had made an effort to overcome this animosity, and with notable braveness at a most momentous time he faced the diffioalties, disarmed the opposition of great neighbouring countries, and he had secured that peace which had lasted through the following years. He had made himself in Wales the head of the eriu- oational part of the country by becoming Chancellor of the University of Wales, not only in name but in deed. In conjunction with the Queen Alexandra he bad given his support to numerous acts of kindness, notably in connection with the establish- ment of an institution to lessen the suffer- ings of man. Everyone, from the poorest to the richest in the Empire would condole with Queen Alexandra, who had shared with him in his work. King Edward would be remembered in generations to corneas the Peacemaker," and what more beautiful title could any monarch wish tc be remembered by in history than that. I Other strong testimony to the work and worth of the great King followed, and a vote of condolence was passed with sym- pathetic unanimity.

Tribute from Abergele Magistrates. SIR HERBERT ROBERTS, M P.. Sir J Herbert Roberts, M.P., presiding at Abergele Petty Sessions on Saturday, said the magistrates had privately dis- cussed the question of adjourning the Court, but felt that it would have been the wish of the late King that the course of public business should not be inconvenienced. It was, however, manifestly not fitting that they should proceed with the business without referring to the dark shadow and tho overwhelming national loss which they had sustained by the death of the King. It was his mournful privilege, as chairman of the Bench, to give public expression to the feelings which filled their hearts that day. It was not an occasion to refer to the splendid qualities of the great monarch who had passed away, nor to the beneficent influence which he exerted for the good of his people, for the welfare of his kingdom, for the honour of his Empire, and for the peace of the whole world. All those thoughts were lost in the sense of the ir- reparable loss which they bad sustained through the removal of their Sovereign-a personality not only universally beloved by| all his subjects, but rioh in blessing to then life of the world. They begged to tender their dutiful sympathy to Queen Alexandra and to the members of the Royal Family, and hoped and prayed for strength and guidance for his successor, that he might follow the example of the Sovereign who had maintained to the fall the best traditions of the Crown. The other magistrates concurred, and carried the vote of condolence by standing. The Rev Thomas Jones, M.A., the vicar, preaching at the Parish Church on Sunday morning, referred to the death of the King in most appropriate and sympathetic terms; as did also the Rev D R Griffiths, M.A., curate, who occupied the pulpit at St David's Church, Pensarn.

The Queen Mothel"s"I, Address | To the Nation. 1 HER "UNSPEAKABLE ANGUISH." Queen Alexandra t, -The Queeit Mother") has addressed to the nation the following touching letter Buckingham Palace, » May 10th, 1910. | From the depth of my poor, broken heart I wish to express to the whole nation and our own kind people we love| so well my deep-felt thanks tor all their| touching sympathy in my overwhelming sorrow and unspeakable anguish. Not alone have I lost everything in him, my beloved husband, but the nation too, has suffered an irreparable loss by their best friend, father, and Sovereign thus suddenly called away. May God give us all His divine help to bear this heaviest of crosses which He has seen fit to lay upon us. His will be done.' Give me a thought in your prayers, which will comfort and sustain me in all I have to go through. Let me take this opportunity of ex- pressing my heartfelt thanks for all the touching letters and tokens of sympathy I have received from all classes, high I and low, rich and poor, which are so numerous that I feel it will be im- possible for me ever to thank everybody individually. I confide my dear son into your care, who I know will follow in his dear father's footsteps, begging you to shew him the same loyalty and devotion you showed his dear father. I know that both my dear son and daughter-in-law will do their utmost to merit and keep it. ALEXANDRA."

King George's First Speech. TOUCHING WORDS TO PRIVY COUNCIL. I The following is the text of the first speech of King George V, as delivered at the meeting of the Privy Council at Buckingham Palace on Saturday :— II My Lords and Gentlemen- My heart is too full for me to address you to-day in more than a few words. It is my sorrowful doty to announce to you the death of my dearly loved father the King. In this irre- parable loss which has so suddenly fallen upon me and upon the whole Empire, I am comforted by the feeling that I have the sympathy of my future subjects, who will mourn with me for their beloved Sovereign, whose own happiness was found in sharing and promoting theirs, I have lest not only a father's love, but the affectionate and intimate relations of a dear friend and adviser. No loss confident am I in the universal loving sympathy which is assured to my dearest mother in her overwhelming grief. "Standing here a little more than nine years ago, our beloved King declared that as long as there was breath in his body lie would work for the good and amelioration of his people. I am sure that the opinion of the whole nation will be that this declaration has been fully carried out. To endeavour to follow in his foot- steps, and at the same time to uphold the Constitutional government of these realms, will be the earnest object of my life. I am deeply sensible of the very heavy responsibilities which have fallen upon me. I know that I can rely upon Parliament and upon the people of these islands and of my dominions beyond the seas for their help in the discharge of these arduous duties, and for their prayers that God will grant me strength and guidance. I am encouraged by the knowledge that I have in my dear wife one who will be a constant helpmate in every endeavour for our people's good."

The Funeral Arrangements. Day of General Mourning. | The funeral will be on Friday of next week, May 20th, and will take place at St1 George's Chapel, Windsor. | His Majesty ha3 issued a royal | proclamation appointing Friday, May 20th, as the date of King Edward's funeral, and commanding business to be| suspended and tho day to be observed asl one of general mourning throughout the United Kingdom. The arrangements in regard to the removal of the remains to Windsor will be very similar to those followed in the case of Queen Victoria's funeral. I The late King's brother-in-law, the Duke of Argyle, Governor of Windsor I Castle, is supervising all the arrangements here. | Standing at the foot of the imposing steps (up which the coffin will be carried 1 by a number of non-commissioned officers of the Guards) one realises how fitting it is that his late Majesty should find his Blast restins-piace in this hallowed and Ibeautiful spot. Up these steps he was carried as a baby to be christened, up these steps he walked with joyous step on his wedding day to meet his lovely bride. Here he came in sorrow to take part in the last melancholy rites for his father and his mother both. Here he came also to lay the bodies of Queen Mary's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Teck. The monarchs who will attend the funeral are I The German Emperor. | King Alfonso of Spain. I King Manoel of Portugal. S King George of the Hellenes. I King Albert of the Belgians. | King Frederick of Denmark. | King Haakon of Norway. | Also The Dowager-Empress Mane off Russia and the Grand Duke Michael,? brother of the Czar The Crown Prince| and Princess of Montenegro, the Crown < Prince of Roumania, and every country in Europe will be represented by either a Royalty, a distinguished personage, or foreign minister sent over special, whilst the United States will be represented by Ex-President Roosevelt. In fact every! country in thejirprid i« landing its repre-j tentative, even far off Japan, and of|l 'course every one of our Colonies will be|f sspecially represented. m And it may be added that every country B in the world has sent its message of aym- g pathy to the Queen-Mother, to the King|| and Queen, and appreciation of the greatSS abilities and virtues of the dead King. ||

The King and the Holidays. King George, with true consideration and thoughtfulness for all his subjects and for the thousands of employees who would be thrown out of work by the closing of all places of amusement, has expressed the wish (which he feels would be in accord- anoe with that of his revered father) thatpl all places of amusement Should re-open and|| continue so until Friday, the 20th, being, of course, closed on that day throughout g the country, and His Majesty hopes that the Whitsuntide holiday will not be inter- I tered with the relaxation and change being so essential for the many thousands p of his working subjects..

A REMARKABLE PliOPHECY. I "The Green Book of Propheoies for 1910," which is a calendar which goes into almost every home, being exclusively pub- iisbed by the proprietors of Zim-Buk, the well-known healing balm, makes a remark- able bit. There Is a hieroglyph—a como on which is placed the English Crown, with seven wreaths (representing the Seven Royal Courts affected), and the British and Danish flags at half-mast. The letter-press reads: g The year 1910 is fraught with ex- oeptional interest, if but of a melancholyn kind, for all those whose heart is in the S welfare of oar country and our King. It Ls with regret that signs of National be gj reavement are noted. Can you discern the direction in which we shall now meet with this great loss ? | Seeing that this book was published in the Autumn of 1909, the Zam-Buk Co. can certainly be complimented for having en- listed the services of such a particularly! far seeing astrologer as their contributor,! Sepharial. B

Messrs Clough & Co's 1 Monthly Sale. I I A very successful sale was held by Messrs Clough & Co. on Tuesday (fair day) at the Smithfield. We noticed some grand prime bullocks, the property of Mr Roberts, PIas Heaton, which sold for nearly £ 25, also] some grand heifers, making £ 17 10s. Ten! :>f these were very grand cattle indeed.| and were sold to Messrs Thomas Da vies, Denbigh; Samuel Roberts, Denbigh; B Parry Jones, Denbigb; and others. Some oapital beasts, the property of Mr David Williams, Plas Captain, were sold for iC17 2s 6d and R17. B A nice class of barrens, belonging to Mr David Williams, Pen Bryn Llyn, averaged from J618 10s to £ 19. S Some fine young heifers, the property of Mr Jones, Bryn Gwynt, were sold for R17 and aC17 6j. These were hardly two yearn old. Smaller cattle made about 212 to R16, calves selling from 50s to 704. Sheep and lambs, we noticed, were not in very much demand, and had dropped a little. A good clearance was effected of the cattle, and on the whole the same could be said of the sheep, the Auctioneers pro-1 nouncing it a capital sale, and to the satis. (action and benefit of the sellers. H

Vale of Clwyd Auction Màrt. Owing to the Bank Holiday falling on the usual fortnightly sale day Mr Byford held hiiB annual Whitsuntide prize show and sale OD Monday. A capital entry of prime qualityw cattle, sheep, and lambs came forward from I numerous agriculturalists of the Vale, and chere was an excellent company of buyers pre- sent. As the Auctioneer remarked in opening the sale ib was surprising to see, considering the backward season, such an excellent stock of ripe and marketable animals, which no other farmers in Wales could possibly beat. Mi gj Bryoh, of Manchester, and Mr Lane, Ruthin, kindly gave their services as judges for the fey, £ prizes offered by the Auctioneer. The awards were as follows :-Best pair of fat beaats, 15s, » j Mr John Kelletb, Ruthin, a smart pair of very S young steers, nice quality, and well-fiuiahed, 1 realized £ 15 7s 6d and £ 15 5s, sold to Mr Percy § Harrop, West Kir by. For the best beast iii 1 the mart, 10a, Mr Jones, Rhydycilgwyn, a a capital quality cross-bred shorthorn steer, sold j| to Mr Price, Mold, for £ 19 10s. Other cattle 1 of Mr Jones' realised .£18 and X18 53, Mr Jones, f§ Plaacocb, £ 19 7s 6d, sold to Messrs A M and R | H Williams, Rathin, and others realized from 9 £14 to .£16. The highest price obtained for a H I veal calf was £3 Se, the property of CaptainlS Jenkins, and sold to Mr Davies, Crown House, Ruthin. For the best ten fab lambs, 10s, Mr White. Pias-yn-Rhal, sold to Mr Lane at 30*9 6d per head. Mr White was also awarded first for the best five fat lambs, sold to Mr E t jsj ^Roberts, Ithyl, at 34s per head. Mr WhifceBj had several pens of lambs, making an averageH of over 30s a head. Ib is seldom, as Mr Byfordffl remarked, that such quality lamb3 are exhibi-H ted from the same faam, and more extraordin- with such a backward season. It showed what careful shepherding together with a thorough knowledge as a flockmaster could acoomplishH with a good cross between a Welah ewe and a border Leicester ram, which Mr White in his I great experience considered was far the best cross for producing fat lambp. Mr Byford's next auction mart sale takes place on Tuesday, June 7th (Ruthin fair day), for which we un- derstand good entries have already been re- ceived. H

Local Incident of the late King's Wedding. When the late King, as Prince of Wales, was married, Mrs Anwyl, mother of onr townsman, Mr Abel Anwyl, borough auditor, Denbigh, sent up for the Princess a very pretty and useful article of wearing apparel, as mentioned below, and also sent a letter in her own handwriting, thus bring- ing the manufactures of Wales to the front. It gave great satisfaction,' and the following is a copy of the letter sent by Mrs Anwyl; it having appeared in all the leading papers of the day, and we may therefore appropriately introduce it here. It reads:— "A LINSEY WOOLSEY DREES FOR THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—A somewhat singular present has been forwarded to Windsor Castle during the week by Mrs Ann Anwyl, of Lawnt Factory, near Denbigh. The letter, which followed the parcel, was as follows:—4To His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,-May it please, your Royal Highness to accept a suit of Welsh cloth, of my own manufacture, as a wedding gift from a traly loyal Welsh subject; alsu a Welsh Linsey-Wolsey dress for Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. I have ient them off to Windsor Castle by railway. I humbly pray your Royal Highness to reoeive my best wishes, We are proud to have such a Prince and Princess of Wales. God bless you both.—Your most humble subject, ANN ANWYL." New8 of the World, 22nd March, 1863. [We may add that Mr Abel Anwyl has himself now lived under five Sovereigns, namely, King George IV, King William IV, Qaeen Victoria, King Edward VII, and King George V.]

I The author of Welsh Hymnologists states that the first attempt to oompoee a Welsh hymn was made by Dafydd Ddu 0 Hiraddug, the Roman Catholic Vicar of Tremeirchion, in the fourteenth century.

The workhouse master replied that the trousers were the only pair he could give the prisoner, and suggested that if he split them up the baok a little they would meet in front (laughter), CATHEDRAL SERVICES.
