FUNERAL of Mrs ROWLANDS, COLWYN BAY. The funeral took plaoe, on Saturday last of Mrs Elizabeth Rowlands, Bod Ivor, Erw Wen- road, whose death on the previous Tuesday was reported in our last issue. After a short service at the house, conducted by the Rev. T. E. Jones, of Colwyn Bay, the cortege, consisting of 15 carriages and hearse, left the deceased's residence at 2.30 for the Old Colwyn Cemetery. The two carriages preceding the hearse were occupied by the ministers and deacons of Horeb Wesleyan Chapel, of which the deceased was for many years a. faithful member. Deceased was very widely known in the sur- rounding district-, and a great many people at- tended to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. In fact, not since the funeral of Mr John Roberts, Fern Bank, has a local funeral been so well attended. MOURNERS AND WREATHS. The chief mourners were Messrs Rd. Row- lands (husband); Robert R. Rowlands Richard Rowlands, D. C. Rowlands, Eilii;. Row- lands, and Hughie Rowlands (sons); the Misses E. A. Rowlands, and Jennie and Kitty Row- lands (daughters); Mr and Mrs Lewis Evans, Llysfaen (father and mother); Messrs Robert David, Richard, and Dicky Evans (brothers); Mrs Gaynor Williams, Colwyn Bay; Mrs Maggie Williams, Llysfaen; and Miss Kate Evans, do. (sisters); Mrs Griffiths, Colwyn Bay; Mirs Jane El.en Roberts, Wigan; Mrs Pollie Davics, E. Goosey, and Miss Mary Jones, Towyn (cousins); Miss Lizzie Jane Evans (niece), and Miss Annie Evans, Llangerniew (cousin); Messrs D. Lloyd Evans, Ed. Lewis, Cornelius Davies, Joseph Jones, Mr and Mrs James Williams, Bangor (sister and brother-in-law); Mrs Jane Hughes, Bootle, and Mrs Sarah Williams, Penrhynside (sisters-in-law); and Mr Ellis Williams (brother- in-law). The following is the list of wreaths:— ''In loving remembrance of our dear mother," from father and children; "In fond remem- brance," from her mother; "In loving remem- brance of my dear sister," from Gay; "In fond- remembrance," from niece Lizzie Jane; "With deepest sympathy," from Mrs Griffiths, Lawson Villa. Others were sent by Mr and Mrs Roger J. Hughes, Mr and Mrs J. K. Williams, Liver- pool House; Mr Price Williams, Bryn Aled; Mr and Mrs Edwards, Lansdownc House; Mrs Jane Hughes, Bootle; Miss Kate Jones, Liverpool; Mr and Mrs Thomas, Liverpool; and Miss Pugh, Colwyn Bay. The coffin was of polished oak with brass fit- tings, and bore the inscription"Elizabeth Rowlands, died October 15th, 1907; aged 50 YearB. At the graveside the Rev. Phillip Price, Con- way, officiated. The assembly sang "Bydd myrdd o ryfeddodau," after which the remains were laid in their last resting-place, amidst mani- fest sorrowing. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr Richard Williams, of Bryn Aled. MEMORIAL SERVICE. The Rev. T. E. Jones preached at the memo- rial service, on Sunday night, to a large con- gregation. He chose as his text Zechariah i., the last four verses ("Then lifted I mine eyes," etc.), and dealt in a very impressive manner upon the excellent qualities of the deceased, and the loss sustained by the church and her home. Several of deceased's favourite hymns were sung, and the "Dead March" (in "Saul") was played on the organ by Mr D. W. Griffiths, du- ring the service. Great sympathy is felt on all hands for tho husband and family. Mr Rowlands is a. member of the firm of Messrs Hughes and Rowlands, and is very highly .respected in the town and district.

It is estimated that the incessant rainfall of the last three weeks, in Scotland, has damaged the grain crops to the extent of £ 2,500,000. A Liverpool cat is credited with frustrating a burglary. By jumping on the bed of the care- taker of the jewellery premises of Messrs Schierwater and Lloyd, in Church-street, it called attention to the fact that something un- usual had occurred.

-c_="eo.2..=-a.uv; COLWYN BAY LIBERALS FRATERNISE. NEW CLUB PREMISES FORMALLY OPENED. SPEECH BY MR J. HERBERT ROBERTS, M.P. ENGLISH LADY'S ADVICE TO WELSHMEN. The premises recently acquired by the Colwyn Bay L'berals fo" club purposes were formally openii on Friday, the occasion being celebrated by a reception by Mr J. Herbert Rouens, M.P., and Mrs Herbert Roberts. The proceedings were carried out in the Public Ball, which had been draped and oileciivcly decorated throughout by a 7talous band (f workers. Thero was a large gathering, and the function *\as quite sucoe3sf ul Mr and Mrs J. Herbert Roberts were accom- panied by Mrs W. S Caine, who, as most of our readers pre a war-2, i-5 the mother of Mrs Herbert Hobcrls md Airs Herbert Lewis. The party was accoru JC' a rousing welcome as they were oon- ducted into the hall by Mr John Crompton, the president of the meeting. At the outset Mr L. Jones, the hon. sec., read messages rc.gr jttirig their inability' to attend from Alderman the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, Messrs J. T. Taylor, Simon Williams, Pryce Williams. Win. W'illianis (all four of whom were "detained at the Assizes," as a telegram stated), George Smith, John Jones (Cartref), and J. Spencer. THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH. The Chairman (Mr Joun Crompton), 111 extend- ing a welcome to tne gathering, saiu lie was clo- lignted to see so many presem, and hoped that tiiat inauguration uerelIlüuy woulLl open up a new era of prosperity for the Liberalism of tne dis- trict; not tnut lone pany had not prospered Ul the past to the extent tney desired, felt they had not made themselves quno so evident in functions of that kind as they might have done (near, hear). They had felt all along that their pOlmlar member had a salo SOOl. III the division, and he was quite sure theTe was no one oi any political persuasion who desired a cnange (applause). An tne same time tne members of the Liberal Association had recognised that tney did not know each other well enough, because when elections came round they did not quite know upon whom they could rely so that tne necessary duties occasioned at such times could be performed satisfactorily. It was also advisable that they met together occasionally so as to ex- change opinions and to establish the convictions they entertained on firmer and deeper groumi-j. These were the objects of the meetings arranged for the winter session when they would discuss various popular and political topics. More- over, they ha.d not had an opportunity since the last election to publicly rejoice over the great sucoess achieved by the Liberal party on that memorable occasion (hoar, hear). It seemed somewhat late in the day to publicly celebrate that event, but he thought it proper that the matter be at any rate mentioned that night (hear, hear). He would bo voicing the feelings of all present when he said they had every, conii- denoe in the Government, and especially in the head of the Government (appluse). Some of them, no doubt, thought at times that things— especially those which affected Wales—were not making such rapid progress in the IIouso of Commons as they would have liked, but they must remember that parliamentary work was somewhat arduous, and that the thrashing out of the various measures occupied much time. He believed, however, that the steps taken up by tho Grand Parliamentary Committees with a view to facilitating the work would result in a more vigorous and effective method of dealing with their legislation in the future (hear, hear). They had in the Cabinet men of sound common sense views, if they might judge by the pronounce- ment made by Mr Lloyd George on temperance last week (hear, hear). From that they gathered that the large Liberal majority in Parliament was not to be used to ride rough-shod over any section of the citizens of the country (hear, hear). If they blamed the Cabinet at all it was perhapa because they had been too considerate to the op- posite party. If, however, the Cabinet took that fair-minded view of legislation they should make up their minds definitely, and not change again one way or another (hear, hoar). ADVICE TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS. Continuing, Mr Crompton remarked that they had obtained one popular measure from the Go- vernment in the Employers' Liability Act, but if they had in view the votes of the ladies, in future he was afraid the Liberals had jeopardised many votes at Colwyn Bay by including in their fair and eminently proper measure the claims of domestic servants (laughter). That had "come home to some of them—(laughter)—and it was right it should "come home" (laughter). The disasters of the previous week—with the victims of which they all sincerely sympathised — re- minded them that many would say, "Oh, but the survivors of the dead and those who are injured will have compensation." No doubt there was some consolation in that fact, but was it not equally fair and just that domestic and other servants who risked life and limb in the service of their employers also obtained compensation when injured (hear, hear)? Surely they should all bear a fair share in such matters. The ser- vant girl contributed her share towards the main- tenance of the country in the form of taxes on the food she ate and the price of the apparel she wore. Ladies who lot apartments at Colwyn Bay and similar placcs, and who were obliged to keep servants during the season, possibly begrudged paying the half-crown charged for an insurance premium, buit his advice to such persons was to chargo 2s 6d extra for their rooms, and to explain to visitors that the charge was made in conse- quence of the insurance premium on the servants. In that way they would be able to make up for their penalties under the Employers' Liability Act over and over again (laughter and applause). Seriously, however, he contended that such a measure as the new Act was perfectly fair, and, though Socialists claimed that they alone advo- cated such principles, he emphatically asserted that they were entirely in accordance with Liberal principles (hear, hear). Concluding, the Chair- man expressed a hope that the function would be but the fore-runner of what they would frequent- ly enjoy in the future (applause). MR HERBERT ROBERTS ON WELSH POLITICS. Mr Herbert Roberts was accorded a (hearty reception. Having expressed his appreciation of the services rendered to the Liberal cauco at Col- wyn Bay bytruo Chairman of the Association, and the band of workers cooperating- with him in perfecting the political organisation, he &aid he gladly availed (himself of the o-nportunity to review in oujbline the present political Fiitua- tion. Touching- first a personal note, he desired very heartily to thank his Liberal friends in the town and dfetrict for their unwavering support. It wae, indeed, true that they had not Iliad a battle ainoe 1895, but that did not letseen tihe value OJ: their loyalty to their prin- ciples and of their unchanging kindness to Inm- edlf He could only once morO that he had endeavoured to the best of his ability to serve the interests of his constituency and of Wales, and!, EO lon.g as She held tiheiir confidence, he would deem it one of the hig-hest honours of his life to represent West Denbighshire in Par- liament (hear, hear). Dealing with the PRESENT POLITICAL SITUATION, from the general standpoint of Liberailism, ho thiouiguiit the Gover'nini't-'iit, had. during the two they had been m olhce, given abund- ant proctt of their capacity and deie-rminatioii to sucnteaully ruue "the country in every epheie of administration upon Liberal principles. It they looked abroad and considered1 i.ltl<O results of Liberal poJicy in matters 01 crave import- ance in thia Eastern world, they found the prestige of the country fully maintained by the strong hand of Sir Edward Grey, and agrees menus had been made with ether great powers which would have far-reaching and beneficent consequences in the future. Foreign policy should he- outivide the sphere oŒ partisan poli- tics, and 00 hoped that the record of tihe Gov- during the hfst eighteen months would shatter for ever the allegation that Imperial imteireets woro not safe in Liberal hands. 11ho grauit elf the powers of soltf-governinenit to the Transvaal had, by common consent, been a complete success, and had by the roadie of the appeal to the best instincts of the Boer raoc, .revolutionised the political situation in South A friea. Mr Haldane was devoting his great ability to task erf making armv a more efficient force, and the supremacy of tlneir navy had been fully maintained. HOME AFFAIRS. When they came to hame affairs they had much to ctlaim by way oi Liberal achievement. Tho finances of the nation nad been placed upon a firm foundation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in due time they would see further changes which would lighten, the burden of taxation where it ought to úoe lightened, and1 bring in-to the national exchequer an increased revenue from new sourc-cp which ought to bear their share of the weight of tine expendi- ture of the country. He would not refer to the Government's record cif legislation in de- tail, as it was welhknown to them- In the sphere oc labour, education (1E0 far as they had permitted) and of 'land and social re- fonnit they had abundant evidtence off the prin- ciples d-jiniiiinatiiiig tide policy of the present-ad- niiLij.'ntratioin. But the prefaent situation would not be truly measured unless they realised that a great change had come over the Houiye of Commons. Liberal party now sitting in tihat Hou-e was inspired^ by a new sense OL* duty, and a now <loteitminaition through legis- lation and administration to to' the life of the ousntrv. That was the all-important factor in the situation, and it had a direot beating upon THE APPROACHING CONFLICT with the House of Lords. He very earnestly transited that tiho Opposition leaders in the Lords would recognise the new conditions ruling th situahiom, and that this struggle might be avoid- ed. Thece was not a voice raised1 in the re- txxii upbate in the House of Commons upon -r.CJ": revsoilution ok the Prime Minister dealing wi," this question on bshalii: of the continuance o. the p regent relations between the two chair- bora. Everyone admitted that soire cihan^-c must take place, and he had no doubt that tho extermination oÍ the Cabinet to securo that the cf the p?oip!e should prevail in this mat- ter had behind iib tihe support c'i: th3 great ma- jority of tho electorate. WELSH POLITICS. Turning to Welun politics., he cheerved thai the precent position was o-r.o vi hope and con- h<Jj:it expectation- He might now, pern-ape, Lo allowed to regard <hm.jeii as an old fariia military ihuind, and he fe.aioJ without Hesitation that lKJ v-er in its experience had lie found the auguiricc, loir the progress ol Wcilsn Liberal cie- manciB niou-i First- of all. they had a suiid phalanx oi Wetiuh Liberal me-mbora aot.i% tcge-tCwr for tiie iuirta.erar.CG of inteie&t(j ill Parliament, and t-msy had already had tKAGe evidence oi the meaning of tms fact in the C8 'tabh,D!1lt2J1ot II the Wetaii Education Depart- m:õ>m at Whitehall. iiei Oire ion..¿-, he believed,. tU2y would nave further proof o-t the influence Cl this umtedf r&preecmafc.on of Wales in Par- itair-cat- in toparate treatment accorded to their country in the coaxing Licensing BiLi. Another important iactor was the putfjence in the Goventiiinent of turcp Welsh memoem, two c't Wnom were in tho Cabinet, and 'beyond all of.-ier influences they had on tneir tihe com- manding poiociiKvlity an.1 abiAty <.If Mr Lloyd Go irgo (h'jar, hear). He was one of the two or t,j;c,C most powerful political a.«rces in the country, and it lmpcLisible to over-estimate the vai'uo of hh presence in the Cabinet in re- ference to tho reai.ti.ition of the political rights oi Wadca At Cardiff I-ast week toe had ap- peared baoiro his countrymen under the shadow cif certain doubts and t'eairs which into trio hearts of hlu ov,,pl)cfrtc-r,- but he had achieved a personal triumph which had lifted tinm higher than ever in tiheir estimation (applause). pccit-ion of Welsh Dieest-ab- Iittariioiit, so far as he understood' it, had never bcPn in doubt, but tho Cardiff coherence had completely cleared the air of every misconcep- tion, and they oouid not, move forward united- ly, knowing that whatever might b tihe difli- cul'ticis of the journey the attainment of their was aastired. Concluding, the hon. member emphasised the importance regaru'iiig Liboraiism, net meiely as a political meod" but as a potent power for the good eti the ntion. The (te,ot oC partisan con fiict would citen darken the real issues, but he was incirespingly convinced that beyond the olaeih of arms they would find., in tihe applica- tion of Liberal principles to the lite cd the people, the beet mearia of developing the high- est int-era-nts cf the race, and the true prosperity of their country (applause). AN ENGLISH LADY ON THE DUTIES OF WELSHMEN. Miss Hovey, B.A., principal of the Penrhos Girls' Col.ege, Colwyn Bay, received quite an ovation when she mounted the stage at the chair- man s invitation to address the assembly. She said she scarcely knew whether fsoc should ap- pear on a political platform (cries of "Yes"). The directors of her college might not like it (a voice: No fear). But che thought she would have an answer to give should she be questioned on the matter (laughter). One answer would be that one good turn deserved another. Mr and Mrs Herbert Roberts had been most kind to her and the institution under her control on several occasions, in helping over prize dist-riibu- tionii, and in other directions (hear, hear). If it were for that fact alone she found great pleasure to do m the humblest way whatever she oould to help on Mr Herbert; Roberts' work for Denbighshire, for Wales and for England (ap- plause). Then, she might perhaps mention another reason, why she should appear before them, and that was because she wanted them to feel in Wake that they were not standing alone in their fight for progress; they in England took a pride in the Principality, and they wished to do ail they could to make it the better and the nobler (loud applause). Again, she felt klie wanted to give them a bit of a lecture; she was used to. that. (laughter). She wanted Welshmen to realise their responsibilities even more than they had done in the past. Their member—und though the had no vote ahe maintained Mr Her- bert Roberts was her member (hear, hear, and applause)—had reminded them of the position that Colwyn Bay held, and the position Wales held in Parliament to-day, but there was a great danger that they should rest on their oars. Just as she came to that meeting she noticed an announcement of another meeting in con- nection with the Constitutional Chjb, which the supposed had no connection with their own in- stitution (laughter). That meeting was one of the little reminders that they must not rest upon their oars (hear, hear). They must continually educate themselves and their sons politically in the best genre of the term. Most Welsh men and women held an advantage over most people in that they were bilinguists, but there was a danger that some of them knew not enough English to make themselves a power in the world. Thc-y could make eloquent- speeches in Welsh, but many of them oould not adequately express thcinselvet?, in English, with the result that they sometimes made themselves enemies of thoro who would otherwise be their friends (hear, hear). They should, therefore, avail theineelves of every opportunity to discuso various questions, but let not the discussions be entirely in Welsh. She was well aware that she was treading on delicate ground at that point —daughter)-—but they must remember that, great we, Welshmen were in the musical world, their language did not carry them much beyond Wales and a certain part 'of Brittany. And English people did not want the powers of their eloquent Welsh neighbours to be limited. They wanted to feel that wherever Welshmen went they would, from their first advent to any parti'' cuiar place, assert their power for the same prin- cipies which they had upheld so long in their native country (applause). AN IMPRESSION. Continuing, Miss Hovey said ishc had certain- ly felt in the past and still felt because she ha.d to pay taxes while at the same time she possessed no vote. She had not forgotten one incident which had happened while she was at York, where she held one of her first appoint- ments. She rented the front part of a house with her pupils, and of course paid the cus- tomary rates and taxes. The back section of the residence was occupied by a German master who had been the required length of time in the country to qualify as a voter. She was parti- cularly impressed when on the occasion of a certain election the German declared he would "vote blue" provided he were conveyed to the huntings, while she, who knew at least some- thing of her country, and who paid more to- wards its upkeep than her foreign neighbour, had no vote (laughter and a cry of "shame"). Nevertheless, she did not. want to appear there as specially violent in politics—(loud laughter)- but sho did want to show that, whatever she feit to be good for her country, its people and the country's children—in whom she took a great deal of interest—she must take that opportunity of saying a few words that night. In conclusion, Miss Hovey urged her hearers to stand by tho men who had stood by them— Mr Lloyd George and Welshmen of his stamp. Sho had been astonished to read the reports re- cently current about Mr Lloyd George. Hints of dis'oyalty had been made concerning him! She had never heard of so ridiculous a thing (applause). Perhaps it was well for a man to have to stand before men to show the stuff he was made of. But let them not call for it too often (loud applause). Let them on the contrary show him that they stood firm and solid behind his back; let them hold up his hands to brave the fight (renewed applautre). He could do it by himself, but let them do all they could to encourage him, and let each man do his little bit of work in the back ground (hear, hear). By so doing they would ensure that Walert would stand fifty and a hundred years hence as firm as she did to-day (loud applause). Refreshments were served, and at intervals the following suwlained a miscellaneous pro- gramme: — Miss Taylor, L.R.A.M., Miss Elio Coulter (elocutionists), Miss Evans, Messrs A. H. Summers, F. G. Moore, W. O. Roberts, and Gor- don Coulter. meeting closed with the usual votes of thanks, and the singing of "Hen wlad fy nhad- au."

EXTRAORDINARY EMPLOYMENT Working in a Hot Stove. Strange occupations, and working under un- common condtions are many, but perhaps one of the queerest is that followed by Mr S. Rowen, whose duties compel him to work in a hot stove. Mr Rowen. who resides at 67, Wellington Street, Keighley, Yorks., gives a full and inteaxiiKJAg aocouint ci a marvelloufl cure by Dr. CassoH's Tablets, of acute inflam- mation of the kidneys, complicated by fits, brought on by catching cold whilst engaged' in his weird duties- Mr Rowen writes—"For the last twelve years I suffered a martyrdom from inflammation of tlie kidneys and fits, which was brouglit on by catching cold when working in a hat stove. I could neither sleep noT eat, and wasted away to a rytere skeleton. I could only walk with difficulty. I tried every pes- eibiia remedy,, and was undier seven doctors, who all told m>e my case wa$a mystery. I was in this helpless condition when x began to take 's Dr. Casaell's Tablets. I found myself improved aHoClr the first bottle, and now after taking four I feel strong and well, and am able to walk twenty arifiks a day without anv fatigue-" Surely this striking evidence will convince ail snifforera off the extraordinary curative power of Dr- CaeeelHTs Tablets- They stand supreme for old forms of nerve or bodily weakness- or such cam plain its as indigestion, weakness of the kid- neys aoid baeJi, 'palpitation,, lotss of flesh or ap- petite*, weak lungs. wrecked oonstitution and nervous prostration. Tlhoy possess the peculiar virtue of converting fat into sound healthy l fk"h, blood, hone, and niuisole. The price is only lQid) and. any chemist can supply theia.

COLWYN BAY TOWN ADVERTISING ASSOCIATION. GENERAL SUPPORT FROM THE RATE- PAYERS IMPERATIVE. A general meeting of the Colwyn Bay Town Advertising Association was held in the Council Chambers on Thursday evening, Mr J. Fred Francis pro-siding. There was a fair number of members present, and some important business was carried out. WINTER ADVERTISING. Advertisements directing attention to the claims of the town as a winter resort were or- dered to be inserted in a number of journal, and under this head a sum of nearly E30 was voted. CONCERT. It was decided that a concert in aid of the fumk be hold during the early part of December, and the following were ciiosen a sub-committee t,) deal with the (urangemonts:—Messrs A. J. Fleet, T. J. Do v; i, E. Mills, Glynne Jones, T. Edwards, S. K. Williams, S. T. Owen, W. B. Lucas, J. O. Davies, and Llewelyn Jones. WEATHER REPORTS. A letter was read from Dr. Nuttall respecting weather report: It contained several sugges- tions. The first was that a weekly weather report bo Kilt up to the Meteorological Office, so that the reports should appear in the press of the country in commoi with thobe cf other towns, so that the public would be able to make a com- parison. It was useless telling people of the ciimate of the district thf-y did not place as much confidence in such statements as in the figures which appeared in print. How to make known the winter climate was n difficult matter, and he i cped tie Association would give it every atten- tion. It. was decided that the secretary write thank- ing Dr. Nuttall for his advice. It was further resolved that the letter be sent to the Council. PICTORIAL POSTERS. A tender for the printing of pictorial posters was received, but after the treasurer had laid before the meeting the financial position of the Association, it was decided to defer the matter I n' until a future meeting. THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION. Mr T. Edwards, chairman of the Amusement Committee, said that that body, whilst recognis- ing that the Association were very strong, drew attention to the fact that but a few members of the Association carried out the work, and unless tney got every support from the town they could not make the desired headway. They suggested that a meeting of the ratepayers be called at .fhich the Association could lay before tnem what they had done, what they were doing, and what thoy intended doing. Roughiy speaking, there were 30013 ratepayers, and of these only a few supported tho movement. The public stiould have the opportunity to tell then) what to do. Pcssibly they were not doing right, and they mignt be furnished with some fresh ideas. He had a number of schemes to place before such a meeting, buit to carry them out money was re- quired, and to procure this there would have to be systematic contributions, no matter how small, from the ratepayers generally, because all people benefited by the Association. If the rate- payers only gave a shilling each per annum the result, would be most encouraging. He thought that to go on as an association without the hearty support of the town was useless. Mr T. J. Dowell endorsed the remarks pf Mr Edwards, and added that they ought to get the \hole town to lake an interest in the Associa- tion. The members were giving their time for the general aivanciment oi the town, and they thould undoubtedly be assisted in the work. Mr Lalande said that the calling of a public tnceting would b3 a very good move. Some ptcple hid the idea that the Association was doing the to.vn harm instead of good, and this mistake should be rectified. Mr E. Allen urged the Association to do all they could to satisfy the local authority that their work was beneficial, so as to justify fuller support from the Council. The Chairman remarked that there were trades- men in the town who wero in the happy position of having "made their pile." That being the case, they took but little interest in the Associa- tion's work, but there were those who had a decent living to make. Once visitors were in- duced to oorae to the town, it was a well-known fact they always came again. The Council should (be approached to help them financially in t-liis direction, and this could be done without hurting anyone. Mr Edwards moved that the Council be in- vited to call a public meeting to discuss the matter. Mr T. J. Dowell seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. TRAIN SERVICE. Attention was drawn to a remark made by the Mayor of Sheffield at the Penrhos College pnze distribution, that it had taken him four and a half hours to get to Colwyn Bay, and that under these circumstances Colwyn Bay could not ex- pect many visitors from Sheffield. It was pointed out that the journey could be made in far less time than that stated, and that the Mayor had not chosen one of the best trains.

LLANDUDNO PETTY jr LLANDUDNO PETTY,. LLANDUDNO PETTY ,| SESSIONS. i A EJAfiQalROUS PRACTICE: AN INCIDENT AT | THE RAILWAY STATiON. HACKNEY CARRIAGE FARES. These Sessions were held on Monday, before Mr Kneeshaw (cluiirman), Col. H. Lloyd Mostyn, Dr R, A. Prichard, Messrs. J. 0. Thcnws, John O.iwaii, and J. W. Kaynes. DRUNKENNESS. The following were fined for (huukeimesF May Hughes, 10, Prospect Terrace, 5s and costs Margaret Roberts, Taliesin tt,t.et, 2s 6<1 and costs David Evans, Jubilee Street, 2s 6d and costs; Ann Phillips, Taiiesin Street, 7s 6d and costs and Thomas Williams, l'en- rhynsidf>, fs and 0 >st. John Parry was summoned for being drunk —i in charge of a hursG and carriage, and was hnei 59 and costs. HUR-ES STRAYING. Joseph Parr, Conway Shore, was summoned for allowing two horses t.j stray in Gloddaeth street, and was fined 3s and costs. CRUELTY TO A IIOKSE. Geirge Smith, 31;, Alexandra Road, was charged with cruelty to a horse. Inspector Eating, R.S.P.C.A., said he saw defen- dant driving the horse attached to a charabanc, in which were several women. Witness examined the horse, and found a large tumour on its neck under the collar. Sergt. Williams gave corroborative evidence. Mr Chamberlain (Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson) who appeared for the defence, said that Smith main- tained that the horse had been stung by a wasp three weeks ago; he had it lanced, and kept it in for three weeks. He took the horse out on the day in question, and therefore contended that the bruise must have been caused by the collar rubbing against it. The defendant was in a very bad state of health, and was very poor; he therefore appealed for leniency. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s and costs. A DANUEROUS PRACTICE. Hugh Hughes, 5, it. George's Place, Back Madoo Street, was summoned for riding on a footplate of a railway carriage at Llandudno Station while the train was in motion. Mr H. T. Tait, who prosecuted on behalf of the London and North-Western Railway Company, said that the defendant got on the footplate of the carriage ae the train was leaving the station. He was told to get off by a porter, but declined to obey. The train was travelling at the rate of six miles nn hour when the defend! | it jumped off and rolled over several times on the platform. When one of the porters went up to him he could hardly speak, as he was suifering frm:1 the shock. It was a very dan- gerous practice, and one which the railway com- pany were anxious to put a stop to in the interest of the public safety, but they did not wish t.o presi the charge against the defendant, as he had already suffered from the effects. The defendant was fined 2s 6d and costs. LICENSE EXTENDED. Upon the application of Mr Chamberlain, an exten- sion of licence was grunted to the proprietor of the Royal Hotel for November 11th, on the occasion of the annual dinner of the Llandudno Cricket Club. NO DOG LICENSE. Eleanor Smith, 5, Neville Crescent, was fined 78 6d and costs for keeping a dog without a license. A (JAB DRIVER AND THE 'LEGAL FARE. William Morris Roberts, of W'oodville Grove, Craig- y-Dun, was summoned fur refusing a fare. Mr Alf. Conully prosecuted on behalf of the 'Llandudno Urban District Council. iliss Emilia Underwood said that when she arrived at Llandudno Station about 10.30 p.m. on September 7th she looked out for a cab, but as she could not see one disengageu, one of the purters on the station went to look for one, and the defendant drove up. She asked him to drive her and her mother-to the Abbey, and he replied that he could not t..ke them under 2s 6d. She told him that that was too much, and he then drove up away and picked up another party. In cross-examination by Mr Hallmark, witness ad- mitted that there was a big demand for cabs at the time in fact the demand was greater than the supply. The ordinary fare from the station to the Abbey was one shilling, and she refused to pay 2s 6d. Mrs Underwood corroborated, and said she knew the fare was one shilling, and was willing to pay it. Mr Hallmark at this stage took exception to the wording of the summons, and said he hardly thought there was a case for him to answer, as the summons stated that the offence had been committed on a certain stand in Vaughan Street." He thought that the station was a place apart from any street but if it was in any street at all it was in Augusta Street. Mr Alf. Conolly That is a very technical objection. Vaughan Street runs right up to the station. The Magistrates' Clerk pointed out that the sum- mons could, upon application, fte amended if it was wrong. The Chairman then said that they would hear the case. g Defendant was called, and said that Miss Underwood offered him the shilling fare and sixpence for him- self, but he had been previously called by another person. A railway inspector testified to the defendant's good character, having known him as a driver since 1898. Mr Hallmark, for the defcnce, said that, assuming the defendant had asked 2s 6d, he probably included the fare of the messenger who came to fetch him from Oxford Street, which he was entitled to charge. The Chairman This is the first case of this descrip- tion tliat has been brought before us, and we mark our disapproval by fining defendant 5s and cost*.

GEiRiONYDD I RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. J DOLWYDDELEN WATER SUPPLY. | The monthly meeting of the above Council • was held on Tuesday, at Llanrwst, when the 1 members present were:—The Rev. John Gower B (in the chair), the Rev. J. LI. Richards and Mr B T. T. Roberts (Dolwyddelen), Messrs J. Lloyd > Morris (vice-chairman), E. W. Roberts, and Edward Roberts (Peminachno), Mr D. G. Jone £ (Maenan), Mr David Jones (Pennant), and r R. T. Ellis (Trefriw), with the clerk (Mr R. ^TJk Owen), and the surveyor (Mr R. II. Williams)-. CLAIM AGAINST THE COUNCIL. At the last meeting, Mr D. Griffith, Degan- wy, made a claim against the Council for artic.efl that had been destroyed by the Inspector, at hifi mother-in-law's house, at Penmachno. Mr Lloyd Morris said that the articles were destroyed for the protection of the ge-neral pu.b- lie, and he felt that the public should pay for j them. He moved that the Council allow the widow JE4 for the articles as a gift. Mr R. T. Ellis seconded, and it was agreed ( to. r DOLWYDDELEN WATER SUPPLY. j According to a resolution of the Dolwyddelen Parish Council, the Rev. J. LI. Richards moved that an engineer be employed to report upon » likely source of water supply for the village. 1 Mr Lioyd Morris felt that the Parish Council were going behind the District Council. For j years they had listened to the applications ofl yea.rs they had listened to the applications ofl the Parish Authority, and had acceded to all. Mr Richards said that the Distriot Council could employ an engineer if they wished. The water in its present state was unfit for domestic purposes, as it came from a running brook. Mr T. T. Roberts seoonded the motion, which was agreed to. VITAL STATISTICS. The Medical Officer reported that during Sep- tember there were eight births and seven deaths, as compared with 14 births and three deaths rOr the corresponding period last year. ROAD EXPENSES. Mr J. Lloyd Morris complained of the heavy expenses incurred in road scavenging. An amount of 913 19s was being pa.id monthly for cross roads maintenance in the Penmachno dis- trict, and a sum of 16s per week paid for flush- ing. He considered these amounts exorbitant, and the latter sum mentioned altogether amount- ed to 28s more than was received each year for water rents. Ho moved that the flushing be done by one of the roadmen, and further, that l a house in Mary-street be rented for the pur- pose of the safe-keeping of all the implement* belonging to the Council. Both motions were unanimously agreed to.

T CATARRHAL BRONCHITIS. A Lady's great Cure by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE The extraordinary efficacy of this famous remedy even in so-called hopeless cases of bron- chial and lung troubles is well evidenced in the following interesting letter:- Mrs E. Wood, 75, Bold-street, Northwoocf, Henley, Stalf, writes:—"Doctors pronounced my case Catarrhal Bronchitis; they did me no good. I was confined to bed, and thought every minute I would choke with the accumulation of phlegm in the head and throat. I could not breathe through my nose, and got so bad that I began to think there was no cure for me. I had frequently read of your Lightning Cough Cure, and I was advised to try it. I took six bottles altogether, a.nd every bottle made an improvement, and considering I had been bad for years off and on, the cure is a miracle." Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is the purest, safest, and moet reliable remedy extant for coughs and colds, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, sore throat, hoarseness, old-age coughs, fthaldrcn's coughs and all chest and lung troubles.
