DIEIMI'SE.—IHer many friends will regret to learn that, after a protracted illness, Misis, Rob- erts, daughter of Mr Hugh (Roberts-, of Blaen- ,1Jwvn Farm, passed away at the age -of 23 years. 011 Friday last. The funeral, which was larg-ety attended, took place on Tuesday, the body being interred in Gyffin Church burial ground. A PEiRTINEiNT QUESTION,.—Who- wdill be the nexit chairman: of the Urban District Coun- c,iil? Thits appea-rs to be the one question which interests' the -ratepayers at the present- moment. For somie years the two parties on the Council settled the point by a mutual underis-tla-nding that Conservative and Liberal should succeed one another in -the- chair, the Conservatives gal- lantly putting up a. Liberal one year, while the R,ardicals -gave qUlird pro quo, tihe following year. Last year, however, the Conservative's- sought to bretak the rule, forcing the cliailms of Mt W. Roberts, one of theilr own party, as- again sit those of Mr T. J. O-w-en, the liberal, whose turn it afppeared tOo be according to the rota. On that occasion Mr Timmins c0^f^:>grabs|e' came- to the Liberals' re'scue; hence t queint appointment of Mr Owen :e of circumstances, outsiders-, on the P- a,n eye for an eye, are anti'cipating rerli waJ: on the part of the Libe'rals at the aex_ on ■meeting. The parties -are about U'e' 3S!jjveS Council, and it is- to be hoped the will, not foster an undesirable- feud ing their opponents' tactics-. Turning cheek is, after all, the better policy on occasions.

IUICKY COiNWAY. 'Tuleisd¡ay'¡s "Daily Y, News;" !s)',iait,e,d: -The barometer continues. to fall steadily, and the- rain which has been fall- ing with hardly a perc-epltibl-e break since Sun- day must be expected to continue- throughout to-day. 'Rain was experienced all over the United Kingdom yesterday, throughout France and in other places on the Continent. With the the exception of a few gleams- at Harrogate- no sunshinle was reoohrded act any of the stations oif the Mieiteorological offices." There must be something wrong somewhere. Ca;n dst be that Conway was the only European town to enjoy de-lliiglhitiful spring weather on Monday? We had brilghltl sun for- hours that day, and a. common remark helalI d along the s-tre,ets! ,vas "Summer iis here at last." Not a drop of rain fell, and, but for a few spots between seven and eig-h-t in the evening, we were equally immune on Tues- day. Wednesd-ay was another glorious- day, Sol smiling betnignly for- hours on end. REVIVAL SERVICES.—-In connection with the- revival services a series- of preaching meet- ings were1 opened at the Tabernacle Wesley-a-n. Church on -Monday evening. On that, occasion the pulpit was occupied by the Rev W. Jones, fürmeDly of Daiv.id-street C:huro'h,Lá!verpoo.but now H. resident of Oo-nway. He was. followed on Tuesday evening by the, Re-v W. Evans Jomes (Ptenllyn), Old Colwyn., and on Wednes- day evening by the Rev W. Caenog Jones, of Treigarth. In each case the sermons- cl,e,lálVe'Ded were powerful to a degree'. 'The services were- precedted and succeeded by prayer meetings, and, though the- attendance was muclh below what we have experienced here of late, they were characterised by a great deptih of feeling. z, On nearly every occasion pointed reference 11ms, been made to Mr 'Evaln .Roberts's mission in Liverpool, and the most fervent pteÜltionsl have been submitted on his. behalf. No- official com- m-uniilcait'ion has been received with reference, to the revivalisiti'is' T'll moured vistit to Cb-nwiay, but it is earnestly ho-ped that he will not overlook the old town in his North Wales tour. COJNlWIAY ATHLETE IN AMERICA.— Mr Percy Smallwood,s-on of the genial landlord of the Blue Bell Hotel, Casflie-st,relett, has just added another point to his lo-fi-g list of sucoessie-s as a" sprinter, on Uncle Sam's soil.

As evidence of what Americans think of Percy's powers it should be stated that he has h2.e.n selected one of the twenty to represent the Stateh in the inter- national contest which takes place at the Crystal Palace, London, in July. He is. a mem- ber of the Oxford Club, one of the rmhesit athletic institutions in. Brooklyn. OUR MILITARY VISITORS.—Local resfd;- j ent-s are naturally muoh interested in the forth- coming ".military season," as it has. been aptliy termed, and, having regard for the importance of supplying our readers with definite inform- ation as to the number of Volunteers and Militia which will be encamped here during the next few mouths, we append herewith an official list of the regiments and the dates of their arrival and departure. The first batch to arrive will be about 2,000 officers and men of the 3rd and 4th Battalions Royal Welsh Fusiliers from Wrexham and Carnarvon, Tney will arrive on Miay ust and le,ave on June 10th. These will be immediately foil-owed on June irth by about 2,500 of the 3rd Loy .1 North Lancashire Regiment from Preston and the 5th and 6th Battalions of the Manchester Regiment from Ashton-undier-Lyne. They are billed to depart on July 29th. Meanwhile a further batch of about 3,000 officers and men of the r8th Lancashire Fusilien-from S-alford, Bury, and Riodhdale-wi,ll turn up on June 12th- to conclude a Wifait-week programme -on June i-Sth. During the same week a further party of about 3,000 in number will en-caimp on land let by Mes-sr-s Chamberlain and Johnson at Var- dre, Deganwy. These will consist of four battalions of the Che-shire- Regiment. From June 24th till July ns-t the MorIa will be occu- pied by about 3,500 officers and meln of the East Yorkshire Regiment from Hull and- Red- car, who will etn-aamp here for the first time.

In passing, ratepayers should not over- look the fact that, as compared with a de.ad los-s of about. £60 a year in 1899, the Mtorfa -now brings in upwards of ^300 clear profit to the Corporation's coffers. Another point worthy of note is that, thanks lo the keen- business pro- pensities of our borough surv-e-yor, the own will this year be pia,id £333 for precisely the same catering in one, department as brought in a total of [1M last Yleara clear gain of ^2221, for which Mb Dbllam-otte is personally respon- sible. Laisit year the total income from the Morfa amounted to over ^1,100.

Hglwysfach. FUNERAL O'F )MR iR. J. MULHOLLAND. —The funeral of the late Mr Mulhoiiila-nid took place, on Thursday, at the Parish Church of Sit. Mary's. There was.a large aitteinldia nce present, together with the -school children, under the charge of Mis-s Anderson.

The touching hyrnin- oif Car- dinal-d Newman's "Lead, Kindily Light," w-as s,ung to the Sa-ndion t-une. At the. graveside- the favourite "0 fryniau Caersialem" was- sung, the soft- voices o;f the mourners, being carri- d pathetically down the- quiet v-alley, and there was- a tlouch of pathos in the reflection that he who- was one of the leading spirits in he life of the village was no more, and had einite,rie-d into hiisi long nest.
