MOLD. INTERESTING WEDDING.—Considerable local interest was centred in the marriage of Miss Barker, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barker, The Pharmacy, High-street, and Dr. Forcer Williams, of Cefn-y-bedd, which was celebrated at the Parish Church, on Tuesday. The service was fully choral, and the clergy officiating were the Revs. J. P. Poole Hughes (vicar), Evan Jones and Herbert Evans (curates), and the Rev. John George (vicar of Bistre). As the bride entered the church the choir sang the hymn "The Voice that breathed o'er Eden," and at the close of the service the hymn "0, perfect love," was rendered, and Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played. The bridesmaids were the Misses Constance and Blanche Barker (sisters), Lillie Price (cousin), and Forcer Williams (sister of the bridegroom). The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress of cream bengaline silk with Court train trimmed with tucked chiffon, a lace fichu, also a tulle veil over orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of lillies of the valley, and her ornaments included a gold curb bracelet, the gifts of the bridegroom. The Misses Barker wore white muslin over pink silk, white felt hats trimmed with velvet and feathered pom poms, and carried baskets containing white chrysanthemums and maiden-hair fern. Misses Price and Forcer Williams were attired in white muslin, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and insertion over white silk, old gold silk sashes run through steel buckles, black velvet picture hats trimmed with black chiffon, ostrich plumes, and steel buckles. They also carried bouquets. The bridesmaids wore gold brooches set with rubies and diamonds, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bridegroom was attended by Dr. Roberts, of Wrexham, as best man. After the ceremony a repast was served at the residence of the bride's parents, and subse- quently the church choir were regaled with a substantial knife and fork tea. At 3.30 Dr. and Mrs. Forcer Williams left by road for Wrexham, their ultimate destination being Edinburgh, where the honeymoon will be spent. — «-

WELCOME HOME.
WELCOME HOME. The welcome yesterday extended by the citizens of Chester and the Eaton tenantry to the Duke of Westminster in celebration of his majority and of his return home to his Cheshire seat after the war could not have breathed a more sincerely hearty spirit, although the out- ward show of rejoicing was for well-understood reasons shorn of much of its exuberance. The shadow of mourning which has enveloped the Grosvenor family within the past twelve months forbade anything in the nature of merrymaking or festivity in connection with yesterday's auspicious event, indeed the uppermost thought in the mind of everyone privileged to take part in the proceedings seemed to be a feeling of deep regret that the late illustrious head of the family was not spared to see the day when his gallant young heir came of age and returned in safety from the hazardous and arduous campaign for which he had so patriotic- ally volunteered. There was something inexpressibly touching in the little scene enacted at Saighton Grange when the representatives of the city and county tenantry assembled in the morning, to offer their respectful salutations to the young noble- man who has thus early in life entered upon the great privileges and weighty responsibilities of his titles and lands. It was no mere lip-homage that the tenants proferred in their brief address of congratulation and welcome, for the relations between landlord and tenant on the Eaton estate have ever been characterised by not only a liberal and generous treatment of the farmer so far as business considerations go, but by a kindly personal interest in the material and social well-being of the tenants, their wives and families, a sentiment which has been warmly returned by a reciprocal solicitude for, and pride in, the prosperity of the House of Grosvenor. The concord reigning between occupier and proprietor on the Eaton estate requires no blatant advertisement; it is patent on the smiling face of the country, the well-appointed homesteads, and the air of happy comfort surrounding the farmers' hearths. If every estate were conducted on these lines, there would be no agrarian problem for acrimonious political economists to worry themselves and their readers over. With regard to the close association between Eaton and the city of Chester much might be said, but little, we fear, which is not present to the mind of every reader, for the welfare of the one has ever been indissolubly bound up in that of the other. The religious, educational, philanthropic and artistic institutions of the city constitute a lasting monument of the thoughtful muni- ficence and neighbourly friendliness of the exalted family of Grosvenor, to whom more than one generation of Cestrians have been accustomed to look, and look not in vain, in their times of trial and difficulty. The event which was celebrated yesterday with a quiet decorum meant much, therefore, to the citizens. It spoke their heartfelt welcome to the young heir, their congratulations to his much-esteemed mother, their high admiration of the generous chivalry which prompted him to go out and fight his country's battles on the South African veldt, and above all their earnest desire that the cordial and happy connection between the ancient family and the ancient city might be long maintained. Our readers, far and near, we feel sure, will join in re-echoing that excellent sentiment from the bottom of their hearts. 0
THE RETURNING BRAVE.
THE RETURNING BRAVE. The Duchess of Westminster is taking the lead in an important movement for organising cordial welcomes throughout the country to our returning soldiers and for discountenancing the .< mischievous practice" of tempting the men to drink. The movement, we feel sure, is such as would have found one of its warmest sup- porters in the late Duke of Westminster, and every well-wisher of the Army and of the country must unite in the desire that her Grace, who is also associated in the commend- able work with the Duchess of Bedford, may find success crown her efforts. A highly successful meeting for the inauguration of the project was held at Chesham Town Hall on Saturday afternoon, and on the initiative of the Duchess of Bedford a resolution was passed deprecating the practice of treating" our returning soldiers as an unworthy mode of welcome and one likely to lead to most mischievous results." As an outcome of the meeting it is hoped that a small hospi- tality committee will be formed, and the two noble ladies whom we have indicated as pioneers in the worthy crusade publish an appeal to other localities to follow the example of Chesham. The urgent necessity for the action that is being taken in this direction does not admit of a moment's question. It was amply demonstrated on the occasion of the departure of the troops a year ago, when certain regrettable incidents at points of embarkation attracted public attention to the matter. The Lord Bishop of Chester, quick to perceive the gravity of the situation, bestirred himself to influence public opinion in the right direction, and it was agreeable to note that the subse- quent departures of troops were not marred by these deplorable examples of ill-judged hospitality. When the men return from their perilous and arduous duty in the field, the temptation to embarrass them with tokens of regard in alcoholic form will. it is to be apprehended, be even stronger than at the time of their departure, for the occasion will in itself be full of intoxicating excitement and rejoicing at the happy consum- mation of this great chapter in the Empire's history. There is in the first place a very obvious reason why strong drink should not be unduly pressed upon the returning soldiers. For twelve months or more the men have been held in strict discipline, and have been strictly temperate, often absolutely teetotal for lengthened periods for the best of all possible reasons that no liquor was obtainable. Under these conditions the strongest men are liable to be easily overcome by a comparatively small allowance of intoxicants, a circumstance which ought to be a conclusive reason against offering peculiar facilities for inordinate libations on the part of the soldiery. Above and beyond that consideration, however, the custom of merely alcoholic hospitality is to be deprecated on higher grounds. It is but a poor compli- ment to the men who have won the praise of the Commander-in-Chief as heroes on the battlefield and gentlemen on all other occasions" to think them worthy of being welcomed with only creature comferts. By all means let the good old-fashioned English dinner, which often bring out the best qualities of head and heart, be duly given, but let this not be the first nor the essential consideration. As a correspondent points out in another column, the best reward that a returned soldier can receive from a grateful country is the prospect of some permanent employment when the Army dispenses with his services. The great South African War, and the noble self-denial of the British and Colonial troops deserve some commemoration that will live longer than a pyrotechnic display. The organisation which is about to be set on foot for arranging appropriate welcomes to her Majesty's Imperial troops will not omit, let us hope, to make some provision for looking after the discharged soldiers who must shortly become a serious factor in the labour market. The men have won the highest praise which any General has ever been able to bestow upon a conquering Army, they have earned the thanks not only of their contemporaries but of pos- terity, by ennobling the profession of arms and shewing in the eyes of the whole civilised world that the British soldier is not the brutal, debauched, murdering, and pillaging- monster that the Continental imagination paints him, but a self-respecting and self- restraining man who can be truthfully described by his appreciative commander as a gentleman. If any further argument were required for seeking to save the soldiers from the uninten- tional but cruel kindness of their unreflecting friends, it is supplied by the appealing message of Lord Roberts to the nation. The Commander- in-Chief is most solicitous lest the splendid record for discipline and good conduct during the campaign may be spoilt by the action of injudicious friends in pressing stimulants upon "his gallant comrades." The country is anxious to manifest its high appreciation of the inestimable services of the war-worn veteran who has conducted the South African operations with consummate energy, skill, and judgment, and he himself would ask for no greater recognition of these services than that his fellow countrymen should respond to his appeal to make the occasion of the return of the victorious troops one of the brightest days in their lives, unstained by any incident which they or their friends would afterwards have cause to regret.

The Surrey County Council is, we observe, taking credit to itself for having passed a new bye-law, aimed at the suppression of the practice of throwing glass and other sharp substances on the public roads. The Cheshire County Council would, but for a slight accident, have adopted the same bye-law at its last meeting, only the requisite two-thirds of the members of the Council did not happen to be present. The matter, is, however, again on the agenda for to-morrow's meeting of that body at Chester Castle, when it is hoped there will be a sufficient attendance to ensure the success of the motion. The bye-law reads as follows :—" Any person placing, depositing, or leaving any article of glass, or any broken glass, or other sharp substance, not being road material, on any highway or public place in a position where the same is likely to cause danger or annoyance to passengers or damage property shall, on summary conviction, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding 40s." The new measure will be welcomed as a distinct boon by all cyclists and motor-car owners, as well as by the increasing number of people who use rubber tyres for their carriage wheels. The noxious practice of dropping bottles and all sorts of broken glass, crockery, and old iron on the public thoroughfares has of late become an intolerable nuisance, with which the old Highway Act is unable to adequately cope, hence the fresh powers sought for.

All the indications point to an exceptionally successful Diocesan Conference at Altrincham to-day (Wednesday) and to-morrow. The good people of the district have taken up the project with the utmost cordiality, and have extended a most hospitable welcome to all the delegates, whom they are entertaining privately. While we naturally regret the removal of the Con- ference from Chester, we shall gladly concur in the change if it infuses fresh life into the Church in this diocese.

Mr. Corbet, master of the South Cheshire Hounds, is unwell. The marriage between Captain F. W. Hill, A.P.D., late East Yorks Regiment, and Lena, only daughter of the late Richard Gregson Ellis, of Plas Newydd, Ruthin, which was arranged for early in next year, will take place quietly on the 8th inst. in consequence of Captain Hill's being ordered to Australia in connection with the inauguration of the Commonwealth. Numerous enquiries having been made of Mr. James Tomkinson, M.P., as to whether the boy bearing his name who was hurt while playing football at Eton College last week is his son, Mr. Tomkinson desires to state that he is no relation. The boy is a member of a Worcester- shire family who played in the Eton eleven against Winchester, in the latter team, curiously enough, being a brother of his own. Mr. James Tomkinson has now no son at Eton.

His horse was shot at Jacobsdal, but he himself was uninjured. On Monday night the proceedings were enthusiastic, the toasts of the Colonel and the Cholmondeley family being cordially honoured. MR. YEKBURGH AND THE CYCLISTS.-Cyclists in Chester will be interested to know that Mr. Yerburgb, M.P.. has intimated his willingness to support a Bill to amend the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888, and to provide for the better carriage by rail of cycles." Mr. Yerburgh realises, as all un- prejudiced persons must, that cyclists have a real grievance against most of the railway companies, and when Mr. G. S. N. Hull, a member of the Chester Cycling Club Committee, sent Mr. Yerburgh a copy of the Bill with a request that he would support and vote for it, he received the follow- ing reply :—" I shall be glad to support the Bill to provide for the better carriage of cycles,' &c., and to have my name placed on the back of the Bill if your committee think this desirable." The Bill was introduced into the House of Commons by Sir Howard Vincent and read for the first time on July 4th. It was backed by the Right Hon. H. J. Gladstone, and Messrs. J. G. Butcher, Q.C., H. H. Marks, H. Kimber, P. M. Thornton, and F. W. Lowe.
THE YEOMANRY'S RETURN. +
THE YEOMANRY'S RETURN. + BETTER SEND CHRISTMAS PRESENTS." It occurred to some Cheshire gentlemen that in the event of the Imperial Yeomanry's not returning home before Christmas, they should not be forgotten at the festive season. Inasmuch as the War Office could give no definite information on the point, it was sug- gested that the Chairman of the County Council should cable an enquiry to Lord Roberts direct. The Clerk to the Council, Mr. Reginald Potts, accordingly cabled Lord Roberts as follows" Will 21st and 22ad Companies Imperial Yeomanry return before Christmas, as, if not, we are desirous of sending them presents ?—Chairman, County Council, Chester." To this the Commander-in-Chief replied by a cable which reached Chester on Friday :—" Better send Christmas presents.— Roberts, Pretoria." The County Fund raised for the purpose of assisting in the equipment of the Yeomanry has fortunately a balance to the good, and out of this money it is intended to send Christmas presents to the men. The relatives and friends of the yeomen may now take it as definitely settled that these two companies cannot return in time to spend Christmas with them, so that if they wish to despatch any presents or greetings they had better do so at once. With regard to the return of the Service Companyof the Cheshire Regiment (the Volunteers) nothing seems to be accurately known. It was reported some weeks ago that the men were actually on their way home, but the absence of confirmation on this point leads to the presumption that their reported sailing for England must have been an error. If no further tidings are to hand shortly of the move- ments of the company, their friends also may rest assured that they will not be home on this side of Christmas, and may make arrangements accordingly.

BISHOP SCOTT IN CHESTER. +
BISHOP SCOTT IN CHESTER. + The Right Rev. Charles P. Scott, D.D., Bishop of North China, is spending a few days with his brother Canon Cooper Scott, M.A., at St. John" Rectory, Chester. The Bishop has brought with him from China. his chaplain, the Rev. Roland Allen, B.A., and Sister Jessie Ransome. The party returned via Vancouver, October 17th, and New York the 27fch. They arrived by the Umbria on Saturday night at Liverpool, where they were mat by the iiav. Canon Scott, M.A., rector of Wanstead, the Bishop's brother. The latter was the preacher at St. John's Church, Chester, on Sunday, and in the morn* iner he referred to the work of the North Chills Mission and to the arrival of the Bishop and the other members of the mission staff. In the evening the rev. gentleman paid a touching tribute to the late Mrs. Scott, wife of the Bishop, who, after heroic work in connection with the mission, died from dysentery on the 8th September. The Bishop, and those who h ivo accompanied him, have been eye-wifcnosses f many incidents of the great tragedy which has bean enacted in China during the past Eix months. The Bishop himself was in Tientsin duiing the bombard- ment, with the horror ever present of one of the cruellest mobs the world has ever knowfl pressing closer and closer day by day." Bub the tragic story is best told in the words of the bishop himself in a letter which he wrote from the Town Hall, Tientsin, on June 20th:- Oa Sunday afternoon at three o'clock we were aroused from an uneasy siesta by a hot bombard* ment, and oh! the strange feeling that those sounds, so familiar to us in practice and in saluting, were heralding horrible shrieking shells aimed at us, which could be seen dropping on houses near us. In a very few minutes o neighbours summoned us to go over into their cellar. We were in the line of five, and two shells struck the house, and a third burst near it but without any damage; so the young volunteers who were about advised us all to walk over to this place, Gordon Hall," where we could be accommodated in good strong cellars till the bombardment ceased. It was strange walk that Sunday afternoon we went in single line, separated a little from each othet» dodging under walls on the attacking side, and finally after about 500 yards of it, getting into comparative safety here. We have not undressed for four days. I help in taking an hour's watch in the night, and IJiff and 1 visit the wounded in the hospital (i.«., the club)> and bury the dead in the cemetery when it IS not under a too hot shell fire! The Rev. Roland Allen and Deaconess Ra.u. some have also had a thrilling experienco- They were in Pekin during the terrible siegei the horrors of which are already a matter Of history. Both were engaged in the hospital, rendering service to the sick and wounded. The loss of his devoted wife has proved So severe blow to the Bishop, who will miss her valuable help and wise counsel. During the bombardment the hospital was Mis. Scott's interest, and she frequently risked her -life ilt order to carry comfort to the wounded. V"V" have it on record that on one occasion she stole under shelter of a wall to visit the hospital." Captain Jellicoe, her cousin, was severely wounded, and he wa3 placed under her care. Writing from Wei-Hai-Wei on July 27th, Mrs. Scott mentioned that her cousin was recovering, and s iys Though, I suppose, for the relations at hoiu$ it is better to have news of the suffering and dying, it is pathetic to have to sit down by their beds and write the last letters home." The letter continues :—" I hO none of you know how hardly we were pressed before the relief came. You will never kno* how calm and quiet the Bishop was, or what It was to be with him at such a time. Though we have lost everything, you must not thin* we grieve about that, we have tried to keep ready to let it all go. We shall build 0, sufficient nest again some day and somewhere. These are but a few evidences of the nobl purposeful character of Mrs. Scott. much sympathy is expressed locally with the bishop* who is known in Chester, iu his sad ment. We are glad to be assured that bishop's health has been much improved by voyage, and we trust that he and his comrade* will benefit by the rest and change they so badly after the terrible strain they have besll called upon to endure.
CHESTER GUARDIANS AND THE…
CHESTER GUARDIANS AND THE INFIRMARY SCANDAL." 0 FULL INVESTIGATION WANTED. Considerable discussion took place at the fo*v nightly meeting of the Chester Board of yesterday (Tuesday) morning, under the Prff0 dency of Mr. Joseph Pover, in reference to controversy between the Board and the Infirmary Governors on the subject of removal of a dying patient from that institution the Workhouse Infirmary. f The Clerk (Mr. W. Turnock) read the letter. explanation from the Infirmary authorities, wille has already been published in the local press. said he had heard it stated that he had mitted the letter of explanation from the mary to the local newspapers for publication, o a matter of fact he did not do so, and he ff never think of sending letters to the newspaP^j before they had first been submitted to the Bo*1 (Hear, hear.) Mr. Kennedy remarked that the authorities, being aware that the case was a one, were anxious to have their version of matter known as soon as possible throughout city. f{' The Clerk said he had also received the folio, ing letter from Mr. F. J. Warmsley:—"I to directed by the weekly committee J draw the attention of the Do 111 of Guardians to a letter signed p Superintendent Nurse Morton, appearing ia1 the "Observer" on Saturday last. The speol committee of the Board of Management satisfied themselves upon the report of officials, and they have communioated the rf^e, of their inquiries to you. They do not, therjj'i feel called upon to take notice of Nurse Mort° letter beyond deprecating the impropriety official in forwarding such a communication to> press upon a matter while the same is occupylbo the attention of the Board of Guardians and t Infirmary Board of Management." Mr. Kennedy said he had read all the spondence on the subject in the newspapers, he considered the question at issue a very seT^0fi one. The guardians had a medical man in they had implicit confidence, and he had Sl.egt sworn testimony before one of the hig. tribunals of the land-a coroner's inquest- his statements were facts. Why, therefore, s" vjd the guardians doubt his statements. They also other testimony which wa3, he though" 0l reliable as that of the Infirmary officials—th3 their master and their nurse and those who the ceived the man Williams when he arrived at ØO Workhouse. They distinctly said there pillow in the cab. Were the Board to accept sworn testimony of their medical man verbal statement of the Infirmary author' He said distinctly, no. They said at the Infir^jjff there was no distinction made between rich poor patients at that institution, but he tioned that very much. Besides, they coul" A call John Williams a pauper in the strict seO'^d the word. He was a freeman of the lived in an almshouse.
