Thirteen meet- ings and three entertainments had been he:d. Oit the nicelon c.f Mr W. J. Plews, stcc-nded by Mr G. Bevaai, the report was adopted una- nimously. RULING COUNCILLOR. The Chairman said -lie bad had the pleasure of proposing Dr. Mould as ruling councillor tv'ne monthii iiireviously, but tt WH» now his great misfortune to announce that a letter had bean received from Dr. Mculd resigning his p-o- sition owing to ill-health. Not only they, but la-wnsmca in general had beesn greatly ecn- corned owing to the ruling councillor's illness, but he was glad to s vat hot he was new making good progress towards recovery. They hoped he would he able to serve the town for many years (hear, hear). Dr. Mou'd wrote stating tho-fc he regretted having to resign hie position, and that he was sincerely sorry that during his term of office he had not bean able to attend to the dutio^in 11110 manner that would have plearcd him. He was thankful to say ho wa" now much better, and gjt'ing quite to his old conditioer. SVill k> foou-kl rat, ,a,kc up a,ny extra work. Continuing, the speaker said they must, under the circumstances, accept the rc- signation. They had bxn looking round to find the right man to fill the vacancy. One had boen found who was not afraid of work. In fact, he a.sked for work. The gentleman he referred to was Mr W. J. P ews (hear, hear). He was heart and ecul in the work. He had much pleasure in proposing that Mr Plows be p'^vfed as ruling councillor for the coming -'iar- Mr Hartley seconded.and said he was sure Mr Plows would make a most excellent ruling OuiciJler. ITie motion wte3 CIlrÚ0d unanimouslv. Mr Plows thanked his colleagues for the kind way in wh.:c..h he hrd beein alluded to. fTe was not a. hard worker ou.'v where mrmuaJ labour was ocn-o^rned, aN] be hered the jadses would give him IIJ) the lieln poesiblo during his term of office (hear. hear). OTTTF.R OFFICERS. Vo'cs of thanlc9 were accorded to the dame prosideint (tho Hoo.

Mr G.

She had looked well b tlie affairs of tho associaticin, and they ought to do nometh'ng to mark their appreciation of her work. The motion was carried unanimously, as also was a mo; im by Mrs Pearson that Mits Everett be presented with the dame's badge. Miso Everefct, ion returning thanks, faid the h.?d tho interest- of the Primj-v,j(-« League at hei-rt. r id p.nyihi-ng ahe had done had been done with pIcAM re. T'ho Ru.t.ng r- llor, who had since his appLLnfment taken his place as chairman, them nitroduocid to liho liioe-t-mg Mr II. Carev, the Prc,v Secretary, who was invited to deliver an address. "FADDISTS FREAKS. AND NONENTI- TIES." Mr Carey said it was with great pleasure that ho was JHrPJt at their meeting for the lirst ti-me in his. capacity as Provine-lal Secretary. He was pleased wjth the exoeJ. ent report which clearly indicated the good work accomplished by the Habitation. He was also sincerely proud of their new ruling councilor, who, they heard, WCH waiting to be introduced to hard work. He did not pro-pose to address them at l-ength nor to bc'ther them too much with pcditics. Thci.e preoe:nt, of curse, knew they belcaged to an association which, he thought, was tho most influential ex'sting in the country. Its membership was a million and a half strong, and new habitations were being opened all c'.er the country. There was scarcely a constituency in England and Wales where there was not a habitation o.f the T"rimrose Loagne. They were banded togefheir to fight and de- fend their principles and religion. Speaking of the present Go-veanmont, the speaker said it was headed by tho weakest statesman of the times, who was assisted bv "fadcLsts, freaks, -n,.c,n who had gained their positions largely through misrepresentation. At the time of the general e'.ect,ill-n, from what was said cli tho Rad eal platform one was lead to expect wonderful tilings. Chi.ncee labour was to he instantly all were to have old Age penuionf!; a-nd everyono would bo made tee- total by Act of Parliament. I.estoad of doing aw-av with Chinese labour, 10,000 more were coins' to the R-->jid. Then there was now Hebrides agreement. according to which men, women a.nd little child: en were allowed to werk from sunrise to sun&e.t for 10s a month. Yet Liberal* had charged the O-nservatives with introducing n'avciry into South Africa! Old ago pe-ruiorvi they were going to reoeivc next year (laughter;. He woadd advise tho^e wccn1 if thov had any children undor two years d age, to put in at (),"œ their applications, so -< I that the children mjght bo e'.Iglble at the ago of 90 or 100 (laughter). With reference to the u-n Jini'doyod question, the lictitloue pr<,spority pictured by the Board of Trade returns did not appear to affect the welfaie of tho 1,200,000 jieopSo at present in this country living on the or:.uk of destitution, nor the one in everj hun- dred living iirxle.r pcor law, nor two out of e/cry nix skilled kiboureis out of employment. Huindrcds of semi-starved Englishmen worked 1:13 black tegs in t.ho German dock strike. After thanks had been accorded to Air Carey and t,lio Ruling Councillor, the meeting was brought to a cl<,&) with Lhe singing of the National Antlieni.

COLWYN BAY LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MEETING. A NEW CLUB SUGGESTED. The annual meeting of the Colwyn Bay Libctial Association was held on Friday even- ing. There was a comparatively small at- tendance, over which Mr J.- Crompton pre- sided. In his opening remarks, thf) Chairman said that, at a meeting of tho executive com- mittee on the previous Saturday, a deputation attended, and expressed themselves dis- satisfied with the Liberal Association at pre.ssn-t. They were desirous of forming a new association, and to work together to try and cr();t.Û more e.nt.hus;as;n. The members of the o'd association, he said, were not themselves sa.trY.Liod with the way in which things wore goinig on. Since tho general election Mr Herbert Roberts had boon appointed chair- man of the Urban District Council, and that was another reason why they did not ask him to ta.ko part in their meetings. They felt that during hie term of office lio should be the to all parties, and not identify himself with anv particular association. They were Ion not. at all satisfied with wh-at had been done, a.nd ho reoom mended, in order to make these members of the depulafcon feel that they had: a voice in the election of officers, that no nominations should be made at the executive meeting. They rejoiced in the facit. that they had a Liberal Government in I)-w.(-,r, -and they rejoiced that. they had Sir II, Ca-mplxdi-RaTinerim.n as Prime Minis- tor. He (the chairman) and many others were. a bit charv ;¡,t. first as to wh,<j.t.h..r Sir Henry would make the best Primo Minister, but he had risen above the expectations of all. His sound oommonsr-jir-e and the way in which he carried out. I-lic. buft'neas of the country ap- pealed to thorn. He was sorry that their president (Air Qj-tiifh) was not able to be with them that night, but it wae only fair to say that he had grown somewhat, dificourayod by the r-oor support he had had during Iris term of office. Ai th stage several Vtters were read from porsone re«re»f.tinjr their inability to be present. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The Chairman said that tho Englishmen of Colwyn Bay were wilting to work with the Welsh, and they had perfect oonfidence in one another, as they were working for the general gocd of the country. On the motion of the Rev. R. lJ, Williams, seconded by Mr R. E. Williams, Mr J. Cromp- ton was appointed chairman. ENOUGH TEACHING. Alluding to the mode of procedure, C'oun- cillor Win. Dav-ies suggested that tho rulc-s should be read. Rev. Pet.r Jones rose to a point of order. Mr Davics remarked that he always found ministers rising to poinL of order. They had had onough teaching, and were not m school (laughter). VICE-CHAIRMAN. On tho motions of Messrs Davies illopo Bank) and J. Berth Jones, ^seconded by Measre Will. Da-vies and n. McKie respectively, Messrs Cl.ynno Jones and John Roberts were appointed yiCC-ŒwjrnJcn. Mr Üm¿¡,kl Jones was elected secretary, on the proposition of Mr D. Greenfield, seconded by Ikv. Thca. Lloyd. Itov. Pater Jones proposed, and Air J. B. Jones seconded, that Mr Blackwall be appoint- ed hon. treasurer, and the motion was carried unanimously. WORKING COMMITTEE. It was decided that. the Working Committee should consist of sixteen members, and the following were appointed to act: Mcssrs ll. Parry, Ifugh Owen, O. R. Hughes, D. Green- field, O. K. Elcookj W. T.

SYAIPATHY AND THANKS. A vote of sympathy was passed with Mr Jonathan Roberts, one of the leading Liberals in the town, who a few days ago fell down- stairs, and as a result has been confined to his bed. A vote of thanks wis also passed with the ro- 'ir'ug chairman, Air Smith, Parciau Mr R. 11. Williams, secretary, and Air R. E. Williams, treasurer. LIBERAL OLUB. A discussion as to the advisability of rQr¡u- ing a Liberal Club in the town followed. The Chairman said that tho club would cost hundreds of pounds. Liberals generally would have- t"I t.ake 2" shJ.:re i.n ¡It. promot;on. Air J. M. Roberts, one of the prime movers in the matter, proposed that the matter k E. left over until a soibsequ-snt. meeting, w h2n they y.-ould have more time to discuss it. The I'uestion was one of vital importance in Colwyn Bay. Thev would require some time to get the views of moneyed people, wh-cso help tney should require. Air R. E. Williams feconded, and remarked that JI they wn-ntod now w-as to form a strong as-r-ociation. When thev felt assured of that thev fhould proceed with their club. Air Wm. Davies said he thought thev should havo a room to start with. In Colwyn Bay the Conservatives had three or four associations and two or three clubs, and they were now opening a.nother cno wit-h a bowling green, oto., attached to it. It was advisable for the committee to or,wider the matter immediately. It was unanimously resolved that the matter be brought before t.he committee for consid- eration and that a report be submitted to the next commit.tee meeting. REGISTRATION. 11.1" R. E. Williams proposed, Mr W. T. Davies seconded, and it was carried that the question of registration and arrangements for the revis:on of the voters' list be taken into consideration by tlie committee.

WELSH AND ENGLISH GIRLS COMPARED. MORE INTERESTiNG LETTERS. A WELSH MAID'S CHALLENGE. An English servant girl wrote a fortnight ago contending that, as a "Welshman was not nXlù ynougli lor a.n English girl," this accounted for the paucity of marriages at Colwyn Bay. Last week we published some replies to her com- munication, and tho appended was held over because it did not reach us in time. A CHALLENGE. (To the Editor of "The Pioneer."). Sir, —1 shall be greatly obliged if you will be kind enough to let the following few Lines ap- pear in your valuable pa.per, in answer to tho pa.ra.gra.iui which appeared under tho heading "No Welshman good enough," and (signed bj; "Servant." May 1 ask the writer of the abovO paj-agraph if siie has come to Wales for no bot. lor purpose than to put tho Welshmen down ? Being a tJiorough Weli-h girl, and .-isc a servant, I aril takin-g thits opportunity of 04' fending myself and fellow servants through LIit, medium of "The Pioneer." lias my friend come to Colwyn Bay, I won- der, on a huis band-hunting expedition, and hav- in stayed here for twelve months, not been able to find a Welshman silly enough to take pity on her? May I inform her that Welshmen are very particular whom they walk out with. As for not being good enough "to walk in any Englishman's boots," I can inform a "Servant'' without hesitating that tho Welshmen arc fit enough any day to walk in any English noble- man'o booUs. And, as for the Welsh girls, well, I am t-tire they are up to every English girl in cleanlinesw in: tlieir work and poison. Very often, ladies from England advertise for Welsh girls because they are considered better tempered, cleaner, and quicker in their work. How many Welsh servants are thero in London, I wonder; a.nd how many have married Englishmen t herú 7 Does this prove that they are not good enough? Aly best advice to a "Servant" is to return to England at otioe if she has no better purpose in Wales than to try and put the Welsh nation down. I will say that I am prepared to enter into a. day's work competition with my friend anv day. Then, the question as to whether Welt-I; girl, are bad workers (as she states) will be settled.— I am, etc., CYMRAES LAN.

"TIli? TIMID WELSHMAN." fro the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir, With jefej-enoe to the concerning the kick of marriageable men at the seaside, may f, as another English girl, divulgo my secret to you. am—I will be quite frank about it^twentr- sevori years of age, and still single. I hav« been juving at a favourite Welsh resort for about five yars. I was barn in one of tho largest towns in the Alidlands. My father 111 what people ca'l a self-made man, and, 11 kc most people of hiis class, when ho retired from businas.% ho found himself and family more or ICKS im uho Cold frc<m a social point of view. Having the money to spend, it was his am- bition to see me gain an entroo to the superior circlo in my native town, but we were banned in old, old way. Ho then decided to ro- move to a neighborhood where my education, position), accomplishments, and (entre no-us) a tojorablo share of "good looks" would be afmrded a better chance to play their part in that struggle all women are more or loss en- gag-od in. In other words, we came to Wa'ea in hopes that I inipht capture an acceptable partner from amongst the Wekh residents or their English visitors. I have not yet succeeded. SomD t'imc ago I made the acquaintance of one-a Welishnian-who appeared to both my parents and myself to bo a suitable man, but- would you believe me?—he proved so insuffer- ably timid that I had to cut matters short. lb appears to me that Welsh people expect to keep heir young women on mere "walking out terms" for months on end before they decide upon "the plunge." If this is the ease, I do not, wonder that weddings are few in Welsh watering places. Ca.re is all very well in its way, but .—Yours, etc., HILDA.

SIR EVERARD CAYLEY'S EXAMINATION. CESTOH'S FRANK STATEMENT. A "MONSTROVS ACCUSATION" REFUTED. VALUE OF THE COLWYN BAY ESTATE. Sir Coorge Evernrd Arthu-r Caylev. Bart, lori'i«rly riding at The lId), Hrouipto'.i, near Sciirbarcygh and now at Wood bridge, Suffolk, n.ppe.-i.red at the Ipcwidi Bankruptcy Court lest Frui-ty weik for public examination by Mr Frederick Mossent-, the official rocciver. In reply to questions, 8ar Everard said that bylori su<x*eding to the title in 13:15, ii" had Unveil hull £10-]0 a year. He tried to >u,)p 1<> inent thaf incsome" by joining Lloyd's, but was not su'oe&rfal. On the contrary, he lest fMme- thing like £ 15.0C0. If he remembered rightly, before euooeedir.g to the title in 1895 he had 301- contract»v| liabilities amounting to about £35,000 on the security of his life interest in the family estates, the advances he rocoived being protceie<l by life policies. His annual income, after everything had been kept liP, would b(' aboJt £400J or £ 5000, and on the death of his mother this would be increased by another LIOCIO. Neg-otiitions ha.d been on foot rc-spec-tiri^ the sale of the LUnnerch Park Ins- tate, near St. Af-iph, for £ 50,000, and had they been carried out, ho would havo been able to pay off the first mortgagees. The arrangement- l>ad collap'od because an extrao-rdinarilv clever independent- valuer from Liverpool, who had b*»n called in to fulfil the requirements of the Court, had valued the property at £ 67,000. That wou'd step his tenant who had o,- the place from buyinci It. H would net ray how selling tho oroperty for E50,000 in which he had only a life interest cculd enable him to pay off a mortgage amounting to £ 50,000. That was an arrangement for the sehcitors to deal with. When aJL Brompton Hall he was master of a pack of houndfl. but when bo got into difficulties the hounds and five or six horses were cold to the committee of the Hunt. The debtor said several times that there wou.d shortly be money enough to pay everybody in I full, though people would not believe it. EXCESSIVELY STUPID." In reply to rhe question. "To what do you attribute your prcent position?" the debtor sumn arisecl in a more formal statement what he bki suggested previously in answer to differ- ent questions. "I may say in the first in- stance," lie said, "that I have been excessively stupid in living beyond my means. There is II" question about that. I don't deny it for cjii3 m-wnent. I also attribute my position to inabd.ty to ica-lis2, the Colwyn ihy property caving to t-he stoppage of sales through tha non-consent of two mortgagees who tied my hands btbini my back. on3 being Mr Norton, who d:d not eign untit alxmt, a year ago, and the other Mr Saunders, who nromised his con- sent times innuniei ab'e, but finally only signed his consent last January. This proved with reig-ard to the sales extremely unfortunate, as down in Oo'wvn Bay it r?.movcd all confidence with regard to tho iiitlo. If the sales had been porn itted two years ago, when the land was fast becoming ripe for development, 1;70,600 would have been realised for only a compara- tively small ae^sagr Now I think it would be £ 100.000. Soma years ago a scheme was put forward ny mv solicitor to work my affairs cut, but it w-.s considered by t.he people inter- ested to bo impracticable ajid impossible. If it had been gone into, it would have proved more than practicable. Tbi Colwyn Bay pro- perty was some two or three years ago valued, by order of my trustees, by the neighbouring on-position building e,stat,e agent, at some £ 240.010. This wan done because I had said I would sell. and the trur^ees did it to safe- guard themselves with regard to the Court. Ths valuation was not prospective, but one of av-f-ua! value at the time. PerfonaUy I had nothing to do with it except indirectly in hav- ing to pay for it, yet I have been accused of having had the thing made as a "dazzle" be- fore 1 er-ple to borrow money on, that, the vnJtuv tion was mote or loss "a b'gi-s valuation. That has w, ri siid about me all ever Yorkshire. Both private Pe-)T)! n-nd public bod:es have ill- sinuated that, hue, it is a morwtrous aceu«i.tio<n that ought never to have ben allowed to go out. Mv trustees we-e surprised when thev got this va'ua-tio-i at the l->wne«s of ib. and it is about tinve they ca.m«-fonvard and fsufcrfaertir-ted it." In mpiy to further quefitcone, the debtor said he h*l (■\ p.'I the propet-tv was worth £ 400,000 and would fetch that in a few years. The examination was adjourned in order that d<iSti:>r mi*°rhti sunnlv further information with respect to hie affairs.

ANOTHER MAID'S WAIL. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") jr, I am also a English servant mai having been livng at Rhyl for eighteen mor:1 hs. and during which tidfe I have been on turio with three men, two being Welsh and one En- glish. I didn't like the English chap because he was two carrottic about the top-knut, so I gives itim up, but L -sua- aorry -jw>\V, for after what I seen of what Welsh usbands make their wifos do, I made na bonce a.bout chucking over the Welsh fellows two. From our windows at the back we can see right into three cottagoe where there lives three Welsh familys. and I have been diseustt-ed to see the wifos kJeaning their usbandses shoos, carry in the coals when it. is brought in the carts, dig the gardens, and do all manner of things. Do you t-hjlk a En- glishman would let his better half do that? No fears. And before I do it I will live and dio a old maide.—Yours, etc., A SERVANT.

A WELSH GIRL'S ADVICE. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—I had thought of writing to you last w>'33>k regarding that En-glisli sarvajvt, girl's let'eir. but upon my word I have been so awful'y busy that I could not do it till to-day (Sunday) "Better the day better the de.;xl. they say, and I hope that what, I have to say on th a question will Ik? Iono the worse., bo- causo I write it on Sunday. But really now. Air Editor, don't you think it's too bad of any girl, English, Irish Scotch, or Welsh, to pitch into :1.<; this English servant girl did" I do. I never knew such Impudence. To think that a clill. of a foreigner should come down here for a few months, and just, because she can't get a el;r, runs down Welshmen, ns if thev wore a iot of picI<-j>cckots. Why, it's enough to mako one say (something very naughtv evsn thought it is Sunday. I have fOll" sisto'P married to Welshmen, and I am sure that four nicer fellows and kinder hus- bands (-ou!d ii,t bo found in all En pi and. And mv father an 1 mother were Welsh, and I don'# think a couple ever breathed. A. for my well, never mind about him, but he's a brick. Aly adv:oo to Welsh girls is, if tboT havo Welsh boys as their sweethearts, to stick to them, and to Welsh boys I say as they say on match boxes "Support home industries."— Yours obediently, HOG AN BACH. Conway, April 28th 1907.

HAPPY MAN AND MAIDEN. Lines written upon the occasion of the marriage of Miss B. C. Davies_ Tho Gwydvr Hall, Bottwsycoed, and Mr F. C. Davy, on April 23rd, 1907. April in her misty hammock Drowsed above the Conway vale, While the sun was gently seeking To appease the lingering gale. But, ah fairer than the sunshine, From the threshold of her home, Lightly stept 0. love-flushed maiden Neath an azure aerial dome. Brilliant sunams round her darting, Friendship linked on cither side With her lover lowly kneeling— Heaven decrees them-groom and bride. Happy, happy, man and maiden, Hence to tread the self-same way; Ruling every will end passion With the love that loves alway. Fairest blooms of Nature's sweetness Fondly twine wo round the scene. That the freshness of their fragrance May delight somo dista.nt e'en. Glad as lambkins in the meadow. Blithe as birds upon the spray, Bettws rings with merry greeting For Mi.. Beattie's wedding day. Greetings that, in silence echo, Born of love, and sealed with tears, Soaring o'er the i-ealins of ether To respond in future years. Hapoy, hap-DY. bride and bridegroom, Not a cloud is yours to-day, Oh, may thus it be for ever- April brightening into May. Kino1:i friends their gifts may offer, Sparkling gen* o" Ifow'rets fair, Bnt. a. higher, holier dower, t AI si v vou in your' bosoms wear. Purer than the moadovv daisy Veiled in dew before the breeze, ¡. May the K:ng of Love adorn you With His own eternal peace. To your home beneath the Cyrau, c Welcome! Wo would sing; Lengthening yelri of love unfolding Blessings new. for many a spring. And when age shall bid you linger 'Neath his placid silver sway 'May the golden rays of sunset Still re-c-all your wedding day. J MRS ALBERT JONES.
