IRAILWAY PROSECUTIONS AT LLANDUDNO.
RAILWAY PROSECUTIONS AT LLANDUDNO. Singular Excuse Tendered. At Llandudno Petty Sessions on Monday, be- fore Mr E. Wood and other justices, Vivian Howard Kettlcy, of Castle View, Marine Crescent, Deganwv, was charged with attempt- ing to defraud the Railway Company. Mr Fenna, who prosccutod, said that Mr KcWcy arrived at Dcganwy with the'7.15 p.m. train from tho Junction on September 8th. He tendered oixfxince to tho ticket collector, and told him to take a penny as his fare from the Junction The collector asked for his Junction platform ticket. Afteir searching his pocket he eventually said that he did not possess a ticket, and finally admitted that he had gone to the Junction from Llandudno without paying the faro by a train which did not stop at Deganwy, and that he then went back to Degallwy and made the statement that he had only travelleu from the Junction. Samuel Townsend, ticket-collector at Degan- wy. having given corroborative evidence, defen- dant was fined 20s and costs. HOLYWELL NEWSAGENT FINED: SINGULAR EXCUSE. Arthur Edward Davies, stationer, of Glany- don( Greenfield, Holywell, was charged wit-h, having paid his fare as a passenger, knowingly having proceeded an additional distance with intent to avoid payment of the additional fare. Mr Fenna stated that the defendant booked from Holywell to Rhyl, but eventually got to Bangor. At the exit he produced his Holywell to Rhyl ticket, but then said that was not the right one, putting it back into his pocket. He then showed a ticket from the Junction to Llan- fair, and was allowed to pass out, retaining It for the unused portion of the journey. On his return to the station he was asked for his ticket by another collector as poon as he was sea.t1 in the train for Llanfair. He produced li« Hiokeb to the lattar place, and ak-o that from Holywell to Rhyl. The collector asked for tho latter to bo given up, and Davies replied that he wanted to keep it as a curiosity, and to show his wife where he had been. "I do not know the efficacy of that reason," remarked Mr Fenna. "Strictly the collector should have re- quired the ticket to be given up, but he allowed h; m to retain it." Both a/t this examination ami at the barrier the defendant said nothing about "his journey between Rhyl and th Junction fer which the fare ha-d not been paid. AL Llanh ir ho afterwards admitted that he had evaded his payment for this section of the journey FI'idcTioe was r.(ven by Pacific Brown, Morris Owen and Detective Hughes (Bangor), and by Oliver T Weeks Llanfair. The <Jehnd,mi was fined 40s and costs.

DEPRECIATED VALUE OF WELSH…
DEPRECIATED VALUE OF WELSH BUTTER. Local authorities are showing a growing interest in agricultural matters, and the suggestion recently made that inspectors be deputed to make periodical examinations of milking cows with a view to ensuring that the milk supply emanates from healthy sources appears a more efficacious pre- cautionary method than analysing a few promiscuous samples of milk. The subject reminds us of another matter equally im- portant to North Wales farmers and the public generally. We refer to tho marked depreciation in the market value of Welsh butter during the last few years. A decade ago the grocer who had the temerity to suggest that his customer should take Kiel or any foreign butter in prefer- ence to the home product ran the risk of re- ducing the number of his patrons. The locally-manufactured article was then generally regarded as superior in every way to the imported commodity, and the public readily pa;d the extra penny or two-pence per pound in order to obtain it. To-day the conditions have changed. Kiel, Irish, and Russian butter largely govern the market in supply and prLce-at least, this is the case in North Wales. Indeed, such h.; been the remarkable progress made by the foreigner in this department of dairy work that one is tempted to ask whether butter-making is deteriorating in this part of the Principality. The best-class of Kiel butter is now acknowledged to be much better than the best article supplied by the majority of North Wales farmers, both in quality and flavour. Moreover, what was formerly Jinown as Welsh crock butter" has all but disappeared from the- market. So satisfied is the consumer with the week- ly supply of fresh foreign butter that there is no demand for the old "store" variety. In the meantime the average Welsh butter ranges at between a penny and three-pence per pound less in price than good-class Kiel. These facts are decidedly discouraging, but that is one of the strongest reasons why they should be boldly confronted. The effect is obvious, and the cause appears to be equally clear. In this, as in other directions, the Welsh farmer is himself at fault. The dairy farmers of South Wales do not compare so unfavourably with the foreigners as those of North Wales. In South Wales the local product stfll commands the best price, and the supply is not only increasing in quantity, but steadily improving in quality. Yet, it is not very long since the decreasing demand for home-made butter gave rise to a bitter cry in the counties of Carmarthen, P-embroke, and Cardigan. The farmers there, however, with the help of the County Councils, speedily set out to meet the difficulty. This meant the abolition of the old-fangled methods of pro- duction and the adoption of modern, up-to- date ideas and machinery. Under the aegis of the county authorities qualified teachers were given roving com- missions to hold classes in appropriate centres, and the instruction acquired there- from by thousands of dairymaids has had a lasting, beneficent effect upon the dairying generally. Few South Wales farmers can be found to-day who do not keep one eye on the butter market report and the other on the butter-making machinery stall. Another splendid feature is the butter- making factories which dot the rural dis- tricts. These institutions are largely run by agriculturists who find it more profit- able and less laborious to have all the m'lk I they can spare handled by experts, and in this respect again the South Walian holds a great advantage over his northern country- man. In short, the salvation of the butter- making industry in North Wales lies in the cultivation of modern methods. Unless that is done the local product must occupy an inferior position on the market, if it is not superseded entirely by the im- portations from Holland, Russia, and Ireland. Have not the County Councils \>f North Wales a duty to perform in this con- nection ?

The Board of Agriculture's order forbidding the removal of siieep under certain conditions has been withdrawn. This will be learned with the greatest satisfaction by farmers and dealers throughout the country. The new rule came imito forco on Monday in all the counties of North Wales except Carnarvon, which will not onjoy the privilege for another month, because the dipping i emulations were not enforced in that county as early as elsewhere. Speaking at Newcastle on Saturday, Lord Carrington said the Board of Agriculture had had a, distinct mandate from the Chamber of Agriculture h I emforoe universal dipping, and added that next year he hoped they would be able to have an order requiring universal dipping without any declaration. The order originally roused the most vehement protests from agriculturists, but its beneficial effects have been so apparent that most farmers and breedera speak favourably of it to-day. w w w Welshmen in America are interested in the movement to commemorates Evan James and Ieuan Ddu, the composers of "Hon Wlad fy Nhadau." A writer in tihe "Wilkesbarre Re- cord" says:—"Both of the world-renowned airs were composed and written at Pontypridd, and by well-known citizens. Why not let the Welsh throughout the world take a hand in the mattúr? Let tho composer of music and words of the Naltiom,al Anthem of Wales have something more worthy than a bronze tablet erected to his memory. Let a marble statue be erected m the composer's native home. Let it be an imposing one, just like the phenomenal stone one-arch bridge over the River Taff, erected by W'lliam Edwards, in the seventeenth century, wh'ch is visited by thousands of sightseers from ail over the world annually. Let the statue be ereoted near the ancient bridge, so that Welshmen may see tho Welsh composer's statue, whose peerless National Anthem has created mora patriotism in the hearts of Welshmen throughout the uni- verse than any composition heretofore written. Let the Welshmen of Pennsylvania bake the initiative, and 1.be funds will soon be sufficient to form a large nucleus to erect iomcthingf worthy of the composer." • » » • Viscount Fielding, eldest son and heir of the Earl of Denbigh, attained his majority last week. The Denbigh peerage was created in 1622, and the first holder of it was fatally wounded in a skirmish outside Birmingham while fighting on the side of Char lea Stuart. The principal seaitof Lord Denbigh is at Newn- ham Paddox, near Lutterworth, a house of great size, containing a fine selection of pictures, including a number of family portraits by Van- dyke. Lord Denbigh is also the owner of the beautiful estate and mansion of Downinr neat Holywell, formerly the property and residence of Thomas Pennant, the antiquary, and author of the well known "Tours in Wales," and many other books. The late Earl of Denb gb married as his first wife Miss Louisa Pennant, only daughter of David Pennant, the grandson of Thornae Pennant, by whom the property" as conveyed into the family of the Earl of Denbigh. In the house is preserved the fine library which was formed by Thomas Pennant, and which is particularly rich in works on archaeology natural history, and there is also a fine collec- tion of prints. The contents of a letter from the Postmaster- General to the Conway Town Council were not divulged at the last meeting of the Cor- poration. Jt now transpires, however, that they related to the re-opening of negotiations with reference to rhe town Post Office. A few months 3.g0 the postal authorities wrote stating that they had been offered an admirable site for new offioes within the town walls in Bangor- road, and that building operations would be proceeded with on receipt of a message from the Council approving the siite. By a small majority a resolution was adopted expressing the Corporation's disapproval of the project. The main contention adduced against the scheme wa.s that the site of the existing offiee was more central, and it is difficult to conceive of a weaker argument. At all events, it served as a very bad excuse for an even worse step on the part of the Council. The present offices are not only unsightly to a degree, but they a.re eadly inadequate to accommodate the staff of enemployoo in them, and as there is no room to extend the premises the Postmaster- General has no alternative bofore him but to (regulate matters as best he may. This has re- sulted in the reduction of the staff, and, in fact, of the status of the office. Hitherto the Conway Post Office was placed in the first class of its kind; to-day it occupies a much lower place in t.he list. And all this is due to a lack of accommodation. Yet the Town Council protest against a change intended to readjust matters. We understand they have just been given an opportunity to reconsider their previous de- cision. • • • • We have reason to believe (says the "Daily Mail") that ihe National Telephone Company is making a drastic alteration in its system of charges to subscriber?, which is likely to have an important effect upon the finances of the great undertaking. Briefly, it is in contempla- tion, we bslieve, even if it has not already 1n definitely decided, to charge evory subscriber in accordance with the number of messages ho Hcnds through his instrument, abolishing al- together the present general system of making one inclusive charge and allowing unlimited use of the telephone without extra payment. Al- ready, it appeairs, the new system is being ill- troduced in tho case of hotels and other resorts whore the instruments are open to a large num- ber of customers.
Successful Bazaar at Old -…
Successful Bazaar at Old Coiwyn. AN ATTRACTIVE EVENT. (From our Rcnorter.) On Wednesday afternoon a two days' bazaar was opened in the schoolroom of Hebron C.M. Chapel, Old Colwyn, in aid of the fund for liquidating the debt on the new chapel and schoolrooms, which were erected at a cost of, including site, £3500. and opened in January, 1904. The schoolroom was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and no efforts had been spared to make the bazaar a success- The stalls were abundantly laden with useful and attractive articles, calculated to apneal to even the most fastidious taste. There were tresent on the platform for th opening ceremony: Mr Wm. Edwards, (Conway), the Revs. Lewis Williams diuis- tor), John Edwards (Colwyn Bay), T. Frimston (Old Colwyn), T. Davies, B. File, Jones (C.M.), and Mr Edward Roberts (vice-chairman of the Executive Commit- tee). After the Rev. J. Edwards had offered up prayer, the pastor, the Rev. Lewis Wil- liams, said he regretted that Mr Dicken, who was to presiue, was unable to attend owing to an important public engagement. He had, however, written wishing them every success, and forwarded a substantial contribution, for which they were greatly obliged. He thanked the English friends who were present, and who merited their gratitude for what the" had done towards the success of the bazaar, and also for what they were going to do. The financial burden of the church, which had only 200 members, was rather large, namely, £3000, Great credit was due to the ladies, who had worked so splendidly. Too memoers of the church were trying to do their best for the spiritual needs of this important neighbour- hood, not only for the Welsh, but for the English as well. He would like to thank their C.M. friends in Colwyn Bav and in the Conway and Llandudno districts on one side, and ae far as Abergele on the other, for the kind help they had given. The Nonconformists of Old Colwyn had helped substantially, as also had their Church of England friends. He added that he had received a large number of letters express- ing regret at inability to attend, but along with them had arrived very substan- tial cheques. Miss Mary King Sarah gave a capital rendition of the song "Ixive tho Pedlar." Mr Wm. Edwards, of Conway, formally opened the bazaar. He stated that he first saw the light of day in Colwyn when Col- wyn Bay was non-existent. He alluded to the remarkable growth of the district, and to the spread of religious work. On the proposition of Mr Edward Ro- berts, seconded by Mr T. Treleaven Jones, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Edwards. THE STALLHOLDERS.

During a recent thunderstorm, little Willie, who slept upstairs alone, got scared and called to hs mother, who came up and asked him what he was frightened alwut, Willie admitted that the tnunder was a little too much for a youngster that slept alone. Well, if you are atraid," said his mother, "you should pray for courage. "Well, all right," said Wi'lie, an idea coming into JIiS head; "suppose you s$.irf* up here and pray whiie I go lwwnstairs.L sieep with pa?" She didn't stay. • » • « A young man recently bought a cornet with the intention of learning to play- Yesterdaj^ the man who sold it to him met his little brother. "By the way," he inquired, "how is Charlie getting along with his cornet play- ingr" "He ain't gettin' 'long at all," sniffed the youngster. "He's been blowin' away at it every night, but this morninjr one of the neighbours came over and told him that he'd better be learnin' to play the harp, for he might need it soon, and I believe Charlie is goin' to give up music altogether. » # « It was at Simpson's, and a burly country man, celebrated for his extraordinary appetite, called the waiter and asked for a iifth helping of the excellent saddle of mutton for which this restaurant in the Strand is famous. The attendant thought the country visitor had already eaten double his half-crown's worth, this being the charge for luncheon off a joint with many etceteras thrown in, and consulted the ever-courteous and obliging head waiter, William. "Sorry, sir," said William, addressing the customer from the country, but you V0 eaten all the saddle, and there ain't noue left." "None left?" "No, sir; the saddle's gone, and ther* ain't no girths nor crupper either," J16 observed as he placed the bill for half-a. dollar in front of him, with all the ceifi" monj of an old-time butler.
