THE CHURCHES AND CHAPELS. At the Episcopal Palace, Glyngarth, on Sat- uiday morning', the Bishop of Bangor inst'tu- ted the Rev. Richard Jones,late curate of Holy- head, to the vicarage of Nevin, on the resigna- tion of the Rev. Johr. James Ellis, who is leav- inlg the country for the benefit of his health. A stained-glass window is shortly to be placed in the north side of the chancel in Rossett Parish Church to the memory of the late Rev. Vowler Wickham who for 29 years was vicar of Rossett. It was during his vicariate that the nre&ent new churoh was built, and by a sad coincidence he was buried in 1892 upon the very day ar- ranged for the opening of the church.

------A GRATIFYING CONCESSION.…
A GRATIFYING CONCESSION. In another column a correspondent refers to the peculiar plight in which some of the Denbighshire education authorities find themselves in consequence of the adoption of the Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act of 1889, and the subsequent establishment of county schools. In some oases, such for instance as Colwyn Bay, the position is a serious one. The town was some years ago given an opportunity to equip itself with what is now generally known as a county school. The chance was allowed to slip by, the local educationists apparently lacking faith in themselves and in the futureof the place.Thereupon Abergele promptly took the matter up, and the school, was duly erected there. Meanwhile Colwyn Bay has been satisfied with its Higher Grade or Higher Elementary School, an institution which in the past has exer- cised functions of muoh the same kind as those carried out by an ordinary county school. Some time ago, however, the Board of Education warned the local committee that after January, 1907, they would cease to allow the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade School to retain pupils for a fourth year or to give instruction in the school which was beyond the limit of the Elementary Education Act. This was, of course, bring- ing into for an Act which insists that the higher elementary schools must "not enter into undue competition with neigh- bouring secondary schools." Thus the Colwyn Bay committee were called upon to curtail the curriculum in their school. In short, they were told that after January next they must do nothing to hinder the progress of the Abea-gele County School. The Higher Grade School cost much money, and the committee have for years been devoting themselves with praise- worthy assiduity to its development, there- by hoping to make good the loss sustained when the town rejected the county school offered it. To be told that their efforts in that direction would no longer be counten- anced was therefore irritating, to put it mildly. Assisted by several influential gen- tlemen, the committee have en- deavoured to get the evil day postponed, and the townspeople have awaited the result of the negotiations with considerable interest if not real anxiety. We say anxiety because it is fully realised that the Act must be complied with some day, and the only hope yet remaining was that the committee would be given suffi- cient time to reconsider their position. Happily, this hats been extended to them. Mr J. E. Powell was on Friday able to an- nounce to his colleagues on the Denbigh- shire Education Committee that the Board of Education had consented to arrangements whereby the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade Sohool would be permitted to continue as at present until July, 1908. The concession is a gratifying one, and must afford great satisfaction to the townspeople. In- the meantime it is earnestly to be hoped that every possible effort will be made to safe- guard the higher education facilities of the town, for, whatever may have been the eITors of the past, the future of the large and growing community must be kept to the fore.

The circumstances surrounding the death of Robert Roberts, the voung Llandudno labourer who was drowned whilst following his occupa- tion at the Oolwyn Bay sewer outfall works, iapt w-iek, were uncornmonly &ad. While wear- ing" a wading drese he was walking through a choppy sea to the shore, and, in full view of some of his comrades, he slipped on the rocky bottom and Wail drowned. His friends have been oritioised because they did not at once rush into the waiter to hie assistance rather than waste time in launching a boat. But at the inquest on Thureday, the ooroner was sufficient- ly satisfied with the evidence adduced as to be able to exonerate the men from all blame. The saddest feature of the accident is that it has deprived the unfortunate man's wife and seven little ohildren of their sole support. Efforts are being made to help them, a publio subscription list for this purpose having been opened. The case ie a really deserving one, and it is to be hoped the appeal will be heartily responded to. Subscribers should address their comrnund- oatdons to Mr W. Pryce-Davia manager, Pier Pavilion, Oolwym Bay, who has kindly under- taken to supervise the matter. • • Judge MO)il is effecting many cpmmendable changes with respect to County Court affiirs on his o-Toult. He insists upon the business of each court being entered upon at the hour fixed for the court to open, and it was only last week he had occasion to protest at Holywell against tho delay caused in consequence of the belated appearance of some of the solicitors oonoerned in the business of the day. In fairness to tho advocates, however, it ahould be stated that thii rule has not long been in vogue, and for thaI) reason it is not generally known. Not only is the Judgie amxious to commence •axly, but ho -0_- is fully prepared to "sit late," and, (shank* his industry and conscientiousness, h. has &L ready cleared away a considerable amount of business which had fallen into arrears. Yet, notwithstanding all his efforts in this direction, his Honour has found it necessary to adopt still more drastic meafiuiefi in order to oopo with Lho demands made upon his time With the ad. vent of the new year he will, we understand, introduce further reforms. Amongst other thmg-i he hM already decided upon holding monthly sittings at Liaairwst, and, as wo re- ported somo time a.go, he has promised to sup- port the Colwyn Bay Council in their efforts to have courts established in that town. All chose measures conduce to facilitating business and, at the same time, to the saving of a great deal of unnecessary expenditure by litigants, » • it was repJrtRd at the Carnarvonshire Edu- cation Committee, on Thursday, that the draf: scheme for the administration of the Richard Owen trust (Llandudno; had been upprovod by the Attorney General. The scheme has been the subject of much discussion oil account of wi effort made to over-generalise its provisions, procedure which, a short turns ago, draw a v. homerit protert from Llandudno people wh<: were naturally anxious that thciv •>wu town, should reap from it the full benefit which thr. testator no doubt intended. It now s.pposrf. that their interests have been well guarded As approved, the schemo provides that it will lm superintended by a board of trustees ooinpoeed of three representatives of the Llandudno Council, two of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee, and one of the University Collog-j of Wales There will be three snr^iaJ scho'<ir- ÛJÎps, of £31) eaoh, tenable at the University., and titMe will be primarily open to boys born in Llandudno In the absence of such candi- dates the scholarships will be open to boyH who have resided or whose parents have resided iivo years in the town, and, failing these, they will be open to girls born jv. or resklont for five years in Llandudno. It is hoped that the nual incc<me from the trust fund will amount DO nearly £150. The balance left after provid- ing for the scholarships will be disposed by the Education Committee in ^augmenting the value of any 'cho'irship by a sum not exceeding £10, or in granting scholarships from the Llandudno elementary rchools to the Llandudno County School. » » » » A correspondent writes: — "I had u, very peculiar experience the other day when tra.- velling on a.n afternoon train from Bangor to the Junction. The carriages were lit by electric light, and the way my attention was drawn to this fact was in the following manner: — While standing in Bangor Station the carriage was not lighted, but immediately we entered the tunnel we were aroused by a faint flicker- in.g- overhead, the light, however, failed to ap- pear, but immediately we emerged from the tunnel the lights appeared. It struck me as bong so peouliair that when the next tunnel waS reaohed I watched to see what would happen. Immediately we entered the tunnel the iighta appaared, but before we had gone many yards they extinguished, and did not appear till we emerged from the tunnel. To cut a. long story short, the lights failed to appear while in tha tunnels, and appeared on entering the open air. Perhaps some of your readers can enlighten me as to the cause of the phenomenon." » # « • A country newsagent forwarded us the follow ing amusing' postcard last week, which has re- ference to a parcel of "Pioneers" that had been mislaid:—"On making enquiry at the station, I find that the papers oame on Thursday after- noon in the rain, aaid were left out in the wet. Consequently they were soaked, and when an express passed they opened with the wind, and were carried in all directions, and when I wen* down for them there was no trace." • • • Sir Isambard Owen has been telling the Cleve- land amd Durham Welsh National Society at Middlesbrough that in spite of infinite difficul- ties, discouragements, and obstacles the Welsh people had succeeded in developing' into a real people-a, people possessed of » capacity of self- help, self-organisation, and self-government, which very few people in Europe could surpass, There is something rather entertaining about the will of the Rev. J. J. S. Bird, formerly vicair of Colerne, near Bath. He leaves £100 to Cardiff Baptist College, "as a slight memorial of my dear friend, Alfred Tilley, and in memory, of his many sweet virtues." Thus far, ail in well. But the will adds:—.At the same time, 1 utterly repudiate and abominate the ^bjocticn- able views held by those brought up in hi. school." There ore people who are QJ1 great terms of friendship while utterly abhorring each other's political subjects. Apparently )t is equally open for parsons to love each other, and at ^e same time to hate each other s rtS- ligious views with a deadly hatred. Bishop Thornton, who has been acting' as suffragan bishop of Blackburn since he came home from the see of Ballarat, tells some very. good stories. One is that he has preached the same sermon in "High" churches and "Low" ohurches, and that in each case the parson has declared that it was the very discourse that was wanted. It seems that at one time, while in his Australian diocese, Bishop Thornton was caught in a storm, ard, coming to a little town- ship late at night, found only one building lit up. This was the local newspaper office. He knocked, and, saying who he was, asked to be directed to tte nearest hotel. There was a roar, of laughter when the request reached the compos"ing room. Presently a head was put out of the window, and an elderly printer ad' dressed the bishop as fallows:—"Look here, old man, you've had quite enough hotel for on0 night. Go home and go to bed, or you'll bd run in as sure as eggs." This is an extraordinary story. It reads likf a fairy tale:—"An unusual reason for bank- ruptcy is given in the case of John Hall, solici- tor, dE Thornton., near Blackpool, who h been missing for a month or two. His Abili- ties are set down at a.bout £3000. The Official! Receiver says Hall seems to have been fairly successful and hod dome a considerable amount of work, but he was in the habit of oharging lew fe93, and therefore was not making thd profit ha oight to have done had he required proper and reasonable remuneration for his services." • • • "Ain't we gtoing to have any more soapf" exclaimed a schoolbay as he stopped before a oontents bill on Saturday, and read that the Soap Trust was dead. "Of course we are," said the other boy, "and perhaps cheaper thau ever. 'Cos, Free Trada "Oh, stow said the other boy, irritably; "I was hopin' we shouldn't see no more soap. Since it's t'other way, well, I don't oare a teacher'# ouss, so give us a whiff on that fag." • • • A good story is told at the expense of 11 knight of the lather-brush. A brother shayer, and he found themselves in London the other. day, and, having tun houir to spare, decided to see some of the sights. Like other members of his profession, the hero of the story is authority on matters political, so he proposed visit to the House of Commons, feeling con- fident their member would secure them admis- sion to the gallery. Arriving in the lobby, thd pair passed the time while waiting for the ar- rival of the member to frank them in watchiapf the arrival of members. Here the expert shone. "That's Redmond," he said, pointing out thfl Irish leader, "and there goes Sir Ed ward Grey. That's Lloyd George; looks happier here than in Birmingham, eh? And here's Balfour. So the oraole ran on usntil a shambling, weedy- looking individual shuffled past. "That's à: Labour member," he said. "Ohl" was the im- pressed response; "is it Snowden?" "I don'. know who it is, but you can see it's one ot item by the style of man," was the reply.: Shortly afterwards their own member appearedà and the pair were duly passed into the gallery. When they had settled down they discovered that their waedy friend was delivering an im- passioned haro.in.gue. The political shaver, turned to an attendant, and asked who thd member speaking was. "Lord Robert Cecil" was tho reply. There is no pleasing some type of Radicals. I Mr Lloyd Georg'e is attacked because he has appointed a solicitor as Railway Commissioner; he is also attaoked because he has not apl pointed a solicitor as official receiver. If vVe j were My Lloyd George, wa ahould mako the I Railway Commissioner am official receiver ancl tr ana far Out official receiver to the Railway
