WORTH WALES AND THE MILITIA. THE ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. Carnarvonshire,, which is rather stmng- in artuiory volunteers, having four companie-), with 13 officers and 282 men, will have those COlD- panics changed into ona mountain artillery bri- giM.le. _Lss two batteries, and two sections anv niuriitiori columns, making 10 officers and 410 other ranks; and to this will be attached two other b.stseries, one in «Menonet-twhirc,. having 5 officers a..d 378 men.a.nd another inCardigansnire, same s;length, Carllarvomuir 0 being the bi headquarters. This is an innova- tion in tno case of Merionethshire, and may be regarded as characteristic of the desire of the 1 lauicrs of the scheme to adapt the new ar. rangements to the physical features of various localities. At present Merionethshire' has only lwlc two companies of infantry, with two officers and 139 nien; but tho mountainous nature of the county has suggested, itself to the authorities as a rea-ori why there should also in future be a strong battery of mountain artillery. The in. fantry, which i3 a section of the 3rd V.B. Royal A\clsli Fusiho-rs, will be retained at a strength of three officers and 117 men. Carnarvonshire will continue, to supply a battalion, though the old name of 3rd V. 13. wiil undergo a change. The tcta: strength of this battalion, at present is 20 oincc-rs and 553 men, but under the new regime the will be increased to. 23 and 746 re-i|!ectively. Moreover, attached to the battalion wiJ be two other companies as heretofore one from Merionethshire, as al- r^i.1' f stated, and the other from Anglesey, w.iicn v.iJl provide- a company consisting of three officers and 117 men. -This will-be the only dema:H made upon Angte.sey as far as the terri- t-orial force is concerned, the reason being that the resources of tho county will have to bo drawn upon for the Anglesey Engineers, which do net come within the purview of the scheme. I I i. may bo added that the arrangements con- templated by the 1st Cheshire Royal Garrison Aitiliery Volunteers, which has batteries at Carnarvon, Bangor, and Llandudno, for camping at New Brighton this year must necessarily fail tlirough, and at tho suggestion of the Adjutant, Aber has been provisionally eelocted as camping (jround.

There a.-c mysteries within mysteries in the "chemical diamond" case. Sir Julius Werner, the great South African diamond merchant, charges M. Lemoine with having obtained a huge sum of money by false pretences. The money was to go to the erection of a diamond factory by a secret process, the documents concerning which are deposited in the Union of London and Smith's Bank, which is shown in the photograph. One of the curious points is that Lord Armstrong, who has seen M. Lemoine's process, and has taken the finished diamonds from the crucible, believes entirely in the genuineness of the manufac- ture and the value of the diamonds. The case is creating almost as great a sensation as "lAffaire Humbert" in Paris, where the trial is to take place. quarters.

It needed, ho said, no words of his to commend this toajt to thonv.i WHieii the man who had charge of the Coed Coch cattle was up at the fat stock show in, London, the ICiiig asked him several questions, and showed himself high- ly pleased with the exhibits.

He hoped that Mr Ha.1.J (lane's scheme would meet with every success. Mr Owen Jones siang the "Skipper,' and was deservedly applauded. THE LATE MR JOHN JONES, A letter was read from Mr T. J. Jones, son of the late Mr John Jones, Dinarth Hall, in which he expressed that his father always looked upon the society with pleaaure. as being well worthy of all su'^ort, a credit to the district. well worked, and in the right spirit. He was a great believer in the:? district shows, as beneficial to all concerned, when worked on ibroad lines. Mr BorbhvvLck ipropcsiod "Success to ttia- show." Were it not, he said. for the sturdy plough boys, where would they find their soldiers and sailo:9? It wag due to them to make some refcronoe to their worthy chairman Almost the whole of tho success of the &how was duo to tho work of Mr Mac Nicoll. Ho had gone into the work heart and soul, and showed great |>arseverence. There were two classes of farm M-S that ought not to be taken as representativees of their class. They were thd inflated man who spoke about himself and prices he gained, and the man who always If>()ke-' in disparaging terms of agriculture. In that district they only had tho contented med- ium between those two oxtremes. During tne last 20 years things has been somewhat despon- dent in agricultural affairs, and there had been numerous depreciations in agricultural re- turns. In the company present that night they had a very large representation of sharp, shrewd and aotivo men. Mr D. Mac. Niooll, in replying, said that many people might ask, admitting all that might be said of the merits of agriculture, its utility to the oountry and the part it took both as an industry and as a recreation in the life of the people, why should it be necessary to stimulate such an Indus: ry by the artificial mechanism of the 'show? He believed tha rea- son was one which was found to operate in human nature all over. Nobody oould achieve mijch progress if he out himself loose altogether from the interest of his fellow men. It was ne- oesa&ry to bring themselves in every walk of life into contact with other people, who wer.o pursuing the same avocation in order to test whether the merit they had supposed themselves to have attained was really as high as they had thought. Hence they had shows in order that they might keep up the standard and excellence and such exhibitions were beneficial not only to those v/ho gained prizes, but also to ail who competed, because they set up a standard which was wcith seeking after. Mr D. O. Williams and Mr David Owem, Tv'n Ddol. also supported tho toa.:t.

On the motion of Mr Pieroe it was dscidcd that the surveyor should prepare a report on the ma ter, and present it t.o the next meeting of th Works Committee. PLANS DISCUSSED. Mr Judsan raised a. discussion as to cortain plans for a house said to belong to Miss Wol- stenholme, at Penearn, and as to the planaiol a new road in a field, tho latter plans being objected to on the ground that tho road would be a oul de sac, while Miss Wolstenhoime's plans were }:aa:xi su bj cot to tho byo-Iaws being corn plied with as to the height of rooms. Tho Surveyor said that the Council could not "blow hot and cold on the matter." A recom- mendation by a committee as to the plans had been upset by the Council. Miss Wolstenhoime's plans had been delayed in the hopes that some- thing would bo decided as to the road. He wanted it dearly understood by Mias Wolsten- holme that it ivaii tho Council and not. hinuelf who were to blame. Mr Juckon said Miss Woistenholme did not blame tho surveyor. A differemoe of opinion then arose as to whether M.' Judson was referring to the I -Ia.. of a houac or tho plans of the field, and Mr Judson said that tho plan he had soon had been show.n to him not aa a Councillor but as a pri- va,t-3 individual. The Chairman ruled that 311 the plans were not b >foro them they oould not discuss thorn. The Surveyor then read a. letter sent to Messrs To MM and Pritc-hard to the effect that the Council could not pass the plans for a now street at Pensarn, because the read led to the middle of the field, and would be a cul-de-sac It was suggested that Messrs Jones and Pritc-h- ar 1 should carry tLe road to the end of the. field, and at the itame time widen the road by P jiisarn Chapel. Tho plans were sent back, and there tho matter ended. Mr Pritchard said lie had roplied to tho letter, and that thonro the matter ended, as they THE MID-DEVON SURPRISE. I To say that the Liberals were surprised at the result of the Mid-Devon election is So describe their sensations mildly. They were dumbfounded, Mid-Devon had been Liberal since its constitution in 1885, returning faithfully, election after election, the late Mr. Seale- Hayne and his successor, Mr. (now Sir) Harry Eve. The by-election, occasioned by the promotion of the latter gentleman to the bench, has, however, resulted in the Unionist, Capt. Morrison-Bell being returned by a majority of 559 over his Liberal opponent, Mr. C. Rodea Buxtou. The large photograph shows the victorious captain addressing his constituents from the window of the Constitutional Club in Newton Abbot after the declara- tion of the poll. The front of the club was subsequently wrecked by a crowd of rowdies alleged to have been wearing the Liberal colours, laset is a portrait of Capt. Morrison-Bell taken on the morning of the electiou. oould not see their way to do what was sug- gested. The matter then dropped. SMALL HOLDINGS ACT. The Clerk reported that ho had received a letter from tho County Council as to the Small Holding? Aot, and the Urban District Council were naked if they knew of any applicants for amall holdings. It was agreed that if any members heard of any applicants thoy would communicate with tho Clerk. NURSING ASSOCIATION. A letter was fea.dfrom the Abergele a.nd Dis- trict Nursing Aw+oei-at.ion thanking the Council for the two of the Boardroom for their meet- ings. THE NEW PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. The Clerk explained that a new Act wa3 passed last year dealing with public health, and thj Council ooald adol,t, if they thought fit, cer- tain portions of it. If they did adopt any por- tion th'y would have to give public notice. He that he should procure for each Coun- ci'lor a copy of dio Act; that the surveyor and THE LATEST DRUCE SENSATION. The arrest of Miss Robinson, the lady whose evidence in the recent Druce se introduced the late Charles Dickens into the mystery, and whose valuable diary containing the story of her connection with the fifth Duke of Portland and Mr. T. C. Druce, was alleged to have been stolen, is the second sensational sequel to that amazing story. Miss Robinson is charged with perjury. The police allege that she is the daughter of a police-sergeant named Webb, and that she married a butcher named Robinson. Our photograph shows Miss Robinson and her "friend," Miss O'Neill. Inspector Dew, in effecting the arrest, addressed the younger lady as Miss Robinson," to which the elder rejoined, She is not my daughter." It will be noticed that the ladies objected to the attentions ot the photographer. -(_ -i himself should confer toother and draw up a report- bearing on the Act so far aa it related to thjir di,strict. It that wore done they would know wher3 they stood, and the members coulti come to the next, meeting prepared to deal witii the matter. ■On the motion of Mr I. Morris, seconded by Mr Pier3e, the clerk's' suggestion was adopted.
