LLANDUDNO WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETY. A very successful garden meeting was held at Preswylfa on Friday in honour of Mr and Mrs Ilaslam, the veteran Irish Suffragists, who were spending a week at Craigydon. Mr A. G. Pugh presided. Mr Ilaslam read an exhaustive paper entitled "The case for women's suffrage re- stated." He kept his audience deeply interested, whilst he advocated the claims of women. He did not believe there was anv profession which a woriian-,wouid not be qualified to enter if she had the proper training. She would be free to chose her vocation. She must first of all have citizen's rights. The member of one class could never be trusted to legislate for another. Un- less women 1* a voice in legislation they ought not to be coaipelled to obey. Men had been pottering at legislation for hundreds of years with small results; let them now invite women, with their fresh ideas and higher moral sense, to help. W ars would never cease until women had the vote. Mrs Haslam gave a brief sketch of her public work ill Ireland, beginning in 1846 to the present day. when Dtihlill boasted 18 lady guardians. She touched with true Irish humour on the two London processions in which she had taken part, and 100 Irish women had mustered under the Irish banner. Truly the vigour and enterprise of these celebrated octogenarians is astounding. A resolution urging the Government to give immediate facilities to Mr Stranger's Bill was proposed from the chair, seconded by the Hev. T. H. Guest, and carried unanimously. The resolution was subsequently forwarded to Mr Asquith.

A more delightful day could not have boon chosen for the choral festival than Thursday in bust week, and full advantage was taken of tho bright warmi sunshine and ideal summer weather by many hundreds to visit- the ancient Cathedral City. The returns show that thero were upwards of 800 choristers in attendance, and of these more than 300 were surplioed. They came from the deaneries of St. Asaph, Rhos. Dyflryn Clwyd, and Denbigh, the parishes contributing being the following Cathe- dral, Bodelwyddan, Cefn, Dyserth, Molideri c restatyn, Rhuddlan, Rhyl, St. Asaph Bodfari Denbigh, Henllan, Llandyrnog, LJanuefydd, Llanrhaiadr, Llansannan, Nantglyn, Trofnant, Cocaenog, Gyffylliog, Llanbedr, Llandegla, Llamair, IJanychan, Llanynys, Ruthin, Aber- pettws, Uandrillx), Uandulas, .Lelanelian, Llantairtalhaiarn, Llysfaen, and Trofarth It will be noticed that there were no choristers present* from Colwvn Bay, and this was espec- ially noticed, as well as regretted, but no doubt there was a good reason for this. The work of training the choirs had be?n weJi performed by Air Belcher, the organist of the Cathedral, who was also the conductor; the Rev. Lodwiok Ellis, Mr W. M. Fierce, and Mr W. A. Lloyd. Their task this year was more formidable than at any time during tho 20 years the festival has been held, as there was an innovation, which took the form of the held in connection with the Cheial Union. In previous years it had been the custom to hold an English* uervioe in the afternoon, and a Welsh service in the evening, but on Thursday the evening aArvioA -C" was dispensed with, an'd' the one service wM partly in English and partly in Welsh. That it was a success was easily seen, and the united choirs san* with much fervour as well as due reverence. There was a rehearsal at 2.30, after which tine aurpliced choirs robed in the Chap- f aJL marched in procession through the street to the Cathedral, ft was a most im- posing spectacle, which will not be easily for- gotten bj those who witnessed it nor bv those taking part. At the Cathedral gates the choir wore met by the lay clerks of X ephedra/ and they then headed the procession. Tho sftr- fa°?llWa3 l>r'ght a'rKl hearty, and a noticeable feature Has the unison parts, which were mom numerous u,a,n uaual.

COLWYN BAY EDUCATION AUTHORITY.…
COLWYN BAY EDUCATION AUTHORITY. THE SELECTION OF BURSARS. The monthly meeting of the Colwvn Bav Education Authority was held in the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon. The Rev. John Edwards presided, and there were also present- Rev. Thomas Roberta, William Hughes, Peter Jones, Messrs E. H. Millward, Abergele; Wil- liam Davies, II. E. Pritchard, Mrs "j. Berth Jones, Mrs T. M. Jones, with the clerk (Mr F. J. Holmes), and the attendance officers (Messrs E. BitheH and R. B. Chambers). INCREASE OF SALARY. The organiser wrote stating that the 9 Laff and Supply Committee had decided to increase the salary of Mr Couchar, woodcrafts master, to £45 per annum, the same to come into force on July 1st. AN APPLICATION. Miss Boyd, of the Infants' School, wrote statin" that she had received an increase in salary of 22 10a. She was recognised as assistant mistress, and had twelve years' experience, yet there was another teacher who had not the same qualifica- tions, who received L70, or 22 10a more than she obtained. Bev. William Hughes proposed they recom- mended that the salary of Mi3S Boyd be in- creased to £ 70. Mr H. E. Pritchard seconded, and the motion was carried. AN INJUSTICE. A letter was read from Mr Griffiths, head- master of the Higher Grade School, stating there were six pupiia eligible as bursars to the Higher Elementary School. Three of these had received appointment, yet two of the remaining I f 7 three. who passed twelve months before them, had not received appointments. The Chairman explained that the three children wh) were appointed resided in Carnarvonshire, willIe tite three who resided in Denbighshire had not received appointments. This was not fair, because Carnarvon people did not pay the raten towards them. If there were any vacancies they should be offered to their own children first. Two of the children mentioned had been ap- pointed to the N.P. School, Old Colwyn, and the other to the Council School, Old Colwyn. AIr Millward proposed that Mr Holmes wrote making enquiries why the appointments had been made. Rev. T. Roberts seconded, and it was carried. Oil the proposition of Mr Millward, seconded by Mrs J. Berth Jones, the suggestion was for- wa.rded to headquarters that two of the remain- ing three be sent to Miss Grin llev, and one to Miss Owen. the candidates to receive their tuition as usual at the Higher Grade School. RESIGNATION. The organiser wrote stating that Miss A. T. Roberts, of the Infants' School, Colwyn Bay, had tendered her resignation, which took effect on the 31st July. APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT TEACHERS. In reply to a letter respecting the appointment of assistant teachers, the organiser wrote stating there vvas a Delegation Bill at present before Parliament-, and the committee had decided to do nothing until it was definitely known what form the Bill would assume. I NO AUGUST MEETING. It was decided that no meeting of the authority be held during August. COLWYN BAY HIGHER GRADE SCHOOL INSTRUCTION. A letter was received from the secretaries with regard to the continuation of instruction at the Higher Grade School, stating that the following resolution of the Board of Education had been adopt.t'd :That in view of the fact that this committee is now revising the Denbighshire In- termediate Education Scheme generally an ap- plication be made to the Board of Education to agree to continue to the 31st July, 1909, their sanction to the retention of scholars in the Col- wyn Higher Elementary School for the fourth year, and further consent until the same date under Section 22 (2) of the Education Act, 1902, to an extension of the limits within which in- struction may be given in the school under the Elementary Education Acts so far as may bo necessary to enable scholars who between the ages of 15 and 16 on the date on which they com- plete tho third year of their course to complete their fourth year's course in the school."
COLWYN BAY PIER CONCERTS.
COLWYN BAY PIER CONCERTS. NEW MUSICAL DIRECTOR'S WELCOME. Herr Gustav Stephan, who has been appoin- ted musical director of the Colwyn Bay Pier Pavilion Concerts in succession to Mr Lyell- Tayter, made his first appearance as conductor of the Riviere Orchestra on Saturday evening. The band was at full strength for the first time this season, and there was a very encouraging audience. Herr Stephan was accorded a very hearty reception, and for some time he was kept bowing his acknowledgment, 'ihe new director presents a striking contrast to his predecessor in more than one respect. Normally built, yet physically he is a small man compared with the heavy, stalwart, withal, smart figure of Mr Lyeil-Tayler While the latter was clean- shaved, with looks which would do credit to Padf>rewski or Mark Twain, Ilerr Stephan has a long, somewhat heavy crop of black. moustache and a well-groomed head of comparatively close- trimmed hair. Nevertheless, he lacks no tilling of distinction, and as he toolc his placo before tho orohest.ra-li ke has predecessor, Herr St,¡',pha.n fa.oes tho audience while conducting—one oouid not but be favourably impressed with him. His methods of conducting also oontraat strongly witih those of Mr for, while the work imposed a considerable physical strain upon the latter, Horr Stephan ia so un- demonstrative that he scarce turns a hair throughout an evening. The orchestral num- bers suffer no loss in consequence, however, and tho audience aire equally if not more pleased. He appears to handle his baton in a curious manner, but his subordinates are obviously well wider his control, and, as was evidenced parti- cularly in Massenet's suite. "Scenes nttores- ques," and tho canzonetta from Goddard's 1st violin concerto, he extracts from them the very best of tlre-ir powers. Moreover, his taste is good, and before many weeks are over fiesliould have made for himself a sound reputation at Colwyn Bay. The vocalist for the evening was Mr Oharles Tree, who enhanced his already great populari- ty here with his beautiful, sympathetic, and dramatio rendering of the "Prologue" from "Pagliacci." He also sang Newton's "Druin Major, and two encore songs—"No, John, being oheared to the echo. Mr Liridon Wyatt, tthe entertainer, was an instant success. His mimicry in the first half of the concert was really artistic. A very pleasing feature of the entertainment was a cornet duett by Messrs T. W. Fenwick and E. C. Pickeriil, They not only kept true time, but produced faultless tone. On Monday evening, a popular concert was given; Tuesday evening was devoted to the first operatio programme of the season, whilst last (Wednesday) night was regarded as a "Welsh night." This (Thursday) evening a grand clas- sical list will be presented, whilst to-morrow nigiht will be set apart for Scotoh selections ex- clusively. Mr Charles Tree is the vocalist till Friday evening. On Saturday night, Miss Mabel Manson, soprano, will be the vocalist, wfhiist Mr Foden Wiiliams will return once more as the entertainer. Mi,g Manson will also appear throughout next week.

OLD AGE PENSIONS. MEN AND WOMEN WITH SOUND DIGESTION ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BENEFIT. Some people bestow more thought upon how they shall live when they are old than upon the means by which health and life may be preserved until that period is reached. Take a look at this matter! Pensions beginning at seventy will not benefit people who die young or at middle age; and that, we all know, is the fate of most of us. How- ever strong you may be naturally, you must guard your health carefully if you wish to live for seventy years or more. Indigestion being the cause of most diseases, Jt follows that those fortunate people who altogether escape that malady, or curo themselves of it, have the best chance to attain old age. Therefore, do not neglect the first sign of indigestion. If on rising in the morning you feel sick; if your head aches, your tongue and mouth are furred and you have no appetitite for food; if the little food you do eat brings on pain at the chest and be- tween the shoulders; send at once for a bottle of MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP. A few doses of that famous medicine will cer- tainly relieve you; and by continuing its use for a little while your health will be restored and your outlook on life brightened in every way. Taken daily after meals, it will make and keep you well. "For many months I was tortured by acute indigestion. The pain at my chest and between my shoulders was fearful. My appetite almost ceased, food of any kind causing me to vomit. Less than one bottle pf Mother Seigel's Syrup greatly relieved me, and three bottles cured me." —(Signed) (Mrs) Maria Wilsmon, Blunt's Hall- road, Witham, Essex, April 25th, 1903. • Mother Seigel's Syrup is now also pre- j pared in Tablet form, and sold under the name of Mother Seigel's Syrup Tablets.

---------------SEA-WATER FOR…
SEA-WATER FOR STREET WATERING. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer."). Sir,—A correspondent, sends me the enclosed cutting from the "Sanitary Journal," which may be of interest to the readers of the "Pioneer," especially those who suifer from a dearth of fresh water and the clouds of dust swirled up by motor cars, etc. Unlike London, which is fifty miles from the sea at Lancing-, Colwvn Bay and other health resorts in North Wale3 have tho sea water at their own doors. "9 Why not utilise it? What would the Garden City of Southport be if the Council did not use sea water for laying the sand and dust of their miles of streets and promenades? "Many towns," proceeds the "Journal," "al- read make use of sea water for street watering-, as well as for baths. Rvde was the first to move in this direction some forty years ago, and Tyno- mouth followed suit in 1872, Barrow-in-Furness, Birkenhead, Blackpool, Bootle, Bournemouth) Falmouth, Great Yarmouth, Grimsby, Gosporfc, Harwich, Plymouth, Portsmouth, South Shields, Torquay, Weymouth, and many other places have since followed their example. It is claimed that once watering the streets with sea water is equal in efficiency to twice or even thrice watering with fresh water. It keeps the road surface moist for a long time, but without slush, and it hardens and binds macadam roads, and forms a preserva- tive crust which presents dust from rising."—I am, etc., ELLIS LEVER.
