1" IIOLYWELL l RURAL COUNCIL. < PROTEST AGAINST COUNTY EXPENDITURE. !At Friday afternoon's meeting of the Holy- fwell Rural Council Mrs Batters referred to a remark made at the meeting of the Flintshire Education Committee on Wednesday week by Dr. (Williams (Flint) to the effect, there was a great- deal of "cheap talk" regarding expenditure by members of other authorities. There had been a great deal of talk on this subject, but she did not consider it "cheap" talk, but very expensive talk for the ratepayers, and she did not think the matter should be passed unnoticed. Mr J. Petrie said he protested lately against the plans for a certain new school Hi this neigh- bourhood. At the meeting of the Education Commiuce it was stated that the District. Coun- cil were not able to specify their objections to "the plans, but he contended he had done so. As a minor authority, he contended, thi.i Council a. minor authority, he contended, th1.1 Council represented the ratepayers just as much as the County Council. If the County Council was getting beyond fair criticism things had come to 4k pretty pass. t The Clerk stated he wrote to the education authority stating their objection to the plans for this school (Greenfield) was their elaboration and 4Dutside ornamentation. 'Mr J. Prince (chairman of the Board- of Cuardians) asked to be allowed to say a word, though not a member of the Council. He said they must admit that the County Council was the supreme authority, and this Council was a sub- ordinate one. The County Council was in tho position of the centurion in the Gospel (laughter). They ordered them to do certain things, and they ij ,did them. The County Council made a precept Jipon them as Guardians, and as the subordinate Authority they had always collected the money from time to time. If they were not allowed to criticise the growth of the rates, then they might irefuse to collect them (hear, hear). Mr Humphreys: I may tell you this—we are Dot going to be dumb. We are going to ring the bell still louder oyer these rates. j v Mr H. Powell (Bagiltt) said the County Coun- cil were spending money wholesale to make the i main road* like billiard tables for pleasure-seek- ing motorists.

With regard to the proposed toad widening near ilengwerii Lodge, Rixtiddlaii, it was slated that the County Council had decided to make a grant of 1:100 towards the work, but there was difference of opinion as to the probable cost of the work. The Sanitary Surveyor's scheme before them worked out at. £ 288, ,Wtlei,ea.s the County Main lioads' Inspector had ad- ;vised the County Council that it could be done for less than k200. Mr Conwy Bell thought it was time ft icy did some- thing for the district generally, and the Bodelvvvddan people iu particular, in connection with this matter, and if there was any further delay the County Council aiight withdraw their offer. It was ultimately decided to do the work as cheaply as possible, and to invite fenders for it. Mr Conwy Bell and Mr H. E. Griffiths wre appointed to act with the Clerk ill the negotiations for the necessary land. ¡ The question of widening the read by Honafon on jthe Dyserth-road, near Rhyl, was raised in a letter from Mr Ganilin on behalf of Mr Whitehead, and a committee was appointed to go into the matter and re- port tliTeon.

AN EXPENSIVE JOKE: A.D. 1415. On the death of Henry IV. in 1413. the riotous Prince Hal succeeded to the throne. He at once discarded all his old companions and called around him the wisest in the land, among them Sir William Gascoigne, the judge who had committed him to gaol. The title King of trance was claimed until lately by our moaarchs, but Henry V.-Henry of Monmouth-was the only English sovereign who really deserved the name. He revived the claim of Edward III. and demanded that the Treaty of Bretigny should be fulfilled. For answer there came a load of tennis balls-a gentle hint from the Dauphin that Henry was better fitted for play than war. Henry replied by landing in France with 30,000 men. The campaign included thee.. )ing defeat of the French at Agincourt. The war was renewed in 1417, with such success that at its close Henry was practically King of France.

LLANDUDNO WOMEN AND THE SUFFRAGE.
LLANDUDNO WOMEN AND THE SUFFRAGE. SPEECH BY MISS E. ftATHBONE. ARCHDEACON EVANS' ADVICE. Mrs Waltan Evans, of 4. Abb\v-road, Llan- dudno, was "a.t home" to a large number of fashionably attired ladies to day week afternoon, when a, meeting was theld under the auspices of the Llandudno branoh otf the Nation- al Union of Woman's Suffra-go. Councillor J. J. Marks, M.A., presided, and in th-e oourse of a short., happy speech, he in- introduced to the gathering Miss Eleanor Ttatihbone, who, he ljcltit-cd out, was a daughter of the late Mr Willialm Rathbone, the late miember od: Parliament, for the Arfen division, and the secretory of the Liverpool Wctnen's Suffrage Society. MISS RATHBONE'S SPEECH. Miss Hath bOone was acoorded a oordial cheer fshe mounted a eiuur 'n the drawing-room for the purpo of delivering her address. She spoike at considerable lengtih, and with much of the eloquence one usually associates with the leaders of the women's suffrage movement. Re- ferring to the methods off the more militant 1 members of the Society, Miss Rathbane roifl that evei:y ifair-minded person must acknowledge that whatever might, be said against certain practices iihev rnwl at any r:Lte'ed to bring the subject of votes for women bstfore the pul).- lio, and made it a real question of practical politics (hear, hear). Those of them who were tempted to speak harshly df the "unladylike" and "unrligmlioo" conduct of certain women should ask themselves whetlier 'any good cause in the world had been advocated with suocesa and which liod been altogether free from oer- toain undesirable outcomes ctf honest 7..e.al (ohears). Surely, women would not be subjected to the restraint and discomfort of imprisonment for t.he mere sake of seeing their names in the columns of newspapers which described the pro- ceedings oif the poiioe court (oheera). They should romemoor that, whatever their opiniciib of the methods, they had aohieved the great re- sult already attained when more moderate meiheda liad failed-(heat", liei.r)-ind they should further bear in miind that their methods had injured the life, the property, the oomfort or phyifioai well-being of no-one except the per- sons who practised them (applause). That was t.M waY in which enthusiastic believers in the crusad? proved their sincerity. THE MOTIVE. The motive for the movement was in a liLrge measure the character of the legislation P:ts.ed. in which Parliament had oncToaolied so much upon the sphere which t.hc great niass of women regarded as peculiarly their own (.hoar, hear). When Parliament took Upon it-elf for instance to regulate even to the minutest i>a.rticuJar the oonditioms under which women should work— d."ci<ied the -hours of the woman weaker in the factory, or th1 shop-assistant, her Ikours for meals; restricted her the labour of married wom/en, and so Jort.h-it was surely time that wo.rien should have a voice in the matter (ap- plause). Mr Snaokclton, the member for Clitli- eroe. had con tended a few days previously that ono of the remedies for unemployment vrm ro lesirict the '1 ibours oif mar iei wo,-i,.en ("Shame"?. She (Miss Rat.hbone) was not going to beg the question or say whether it was right or wr-ang. There were painful features of the lalxiur of 'ma.rriocT'women, but if the practice was to bo restricted it should be by the consent of tho women themselves. Bt the way, it was a singu- lar fact that two-thirds Qf'1VIr 'Sh,:w]d.etou',3 sal- ary in his official capacity in connection with his Trade Ufi'a»s paid by the sixpences of the women engaged in the industries associated with the Union (laughter and applause). Mem- bers of Parliament were manipulating every de- tail in the lives of thousands of women, and it was therefore ridiculous to tell wotrp.-In that politics were "L their concern (^hoers). A QUESTION FOR THE MASSES. Continuing, Misa Rath!>one dwelt, upon the number and nature of the petitions api>oaling for the recognition of women, and spoke of the .-iiAC-riiiae of poor girli in tho indus rial centres on behalf of the movetnont. The qicstion, sho said, was essentially one for the mswsM of women rather than to tho leisure and wealthy classes. It was all very well for Mrs Humphrey Ward t> run down oho crilgade; to her the vote might bo a trumjKjry thing, bo with I her able pen or her personal influience members of Parliament, and o her infli.en i ll members of society, she could give her poli- tical views full play, but with tie poor and' uneducated woman the case was very different, (hear, hear). The woman of tJ:.c masses wanted the vote a." the only direct way of making her opinions known. They all n-alisrd the geat eff ect of the p^isscission of the vote by the i warkingmen. Members of Parliament listened above all to what their constituents waii-ted. Her father once said he found it almost, impos- sible to giet members of the II01.se of Com- mons to take any great interest in an important, question unlaws their const it, u tents jwere con- oerned about it. It was the same about the suffrage question now. Speaking of the imtx>rtant part woman o:>k in the affairs c| the nation. Miss Raihb no re- marked that while 30,000 vallmbl(- male lives had baen l-oot over the South African War, it should not be forgotten that 6000 lost their lives every year in bearing cit.i/cns of the State (loud applause). The speaker also con- tended that by giving women the vote tiiey would have oause to t&lw mere interest in poli- tics with the r-esult. tha.t the interests of men and children lie quickened in national and imperial affairs. The sfjejker. £ pn<dud< d by 'U-ftYjng a resolution appealing to Mr Asqi ith to include the women's francliise measiij1^ in the programme far the enduing session of Par- lianuent. br. Goody, of Llandudno, who seconded, also 4-tid he believed tihat to gtrairkt women votes would be a tremendous step towards the edu- cation of men in matters political. v The tttotioa waa unanimaue^f agreed to. ARCDEACON EVANS' ADVICE. Arohdeacoin Evans, in proposing a vote of thanks to Misa Rathbone, said the iatc Mr Wil- liam Rathbone had b:oen a uruo bencfac or to Carnarvonshire, especially in regard to educa- tion, on whose behalf his purse and person had been always ready. Continuing. he said that until some years ago Ladies had not been al- lowed to serve on Boards of Cuardian-<- Ai er the Bill permitting that was passed, one of his daughters was the youngest, lady guardian in England aNd Wales (h-sor, hear). She srrned on the St. Asaph Board, ann fcxefoire she had served three years .3100 was elected II.M. In- spector of Boarding-out Children. If she l,aè not had the opportunity of serving as a mem- ber of the Board she have revelled those qualities which appeared to have con- vinced the authorities that she was adapted for her duties (hear, hear). In every movement of human progress women had been to the front. But for the influence of women, in altering the law he would have been in gaol several t.intes before now, because he had owed large sums A of money in promoting education, the building of schools, churches, etc. (laugihter and applause). In conclusion the venerable Archdeacon a.:id he did not believe in breaking- windows and such practiced adopted by certain womn in that crusade; the< end did net: justify the me^ns- He urged t'hem to remember that the move- ment should be and could be forwarded effec- tively by Christian means. The motion was carried with acclamation, and Miss Rathbcaio briefly acknowledged.
COLWYN BAY BROTHERHOOD.
COLWYN BAY BROTHER- HOOD. FIRST ANNUAL PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. MISS HOVEY, B.A., ON "BOOKS." The first annual prize distribution in connec- tion with the G'olwyn Bay Brotherhood took plaoj in the English Congregational Church on Sunday. Tho meeting being an cpen one, ere was a largo gathering. The Rev. T.hos. Lioyd presided, and was sup- t>orted by Mlss Hovey, B.A., who had under- taken t.he duty of distributing the prises; Mr J. Crompton, and Mr J. T. Taylor. The openoo with a selection by the orchestra, under the leadership of Mr Evans. Ilvrnn 224 wis iung, a/ficr which Mr Cromp- ton led in prayer. Mr Owen Jones then rendered "Thou art passing henœ. my "in a pleasing manner. Mr J. T. Taytor read a portion of Scripture, which was followed by the singing of hymn 610. The Chairman then introduced Miss Ilovey to the meeting, and said they were extremely fortunate in having ladies of the capacity and oharaoter of herself and her sister in the town. They all felt it was a gcod thing that so many of the rising generation were trained under .such influences a. those exerted by M Hovey a.t 1'onrhos College, and he wished to congratulate her upon the success achieved at Ileiirho-s. MISS HOVEY ON BOOKS. Miss flovey, in opening, said that as slie was present to present txxxks as prizes, she would like to speak a little about books. If they turned to "The Hook" and bought, some words which wore sometimes represented as being rather ag-unst, ix.oks, they would have no difficultv in convincing rise I veis that they were not written against bootM b-oar). She was glad that C, they hid chosen the bLO;S she saw before her, as they were well worth reading. Further, in urging t.he as emblv TO obtain gcod books from the Free Library, she remarked she was connected with the library, and would like to hoar tha.t mere standard works were taken from it. Tiiey were not to blame for reading? some fiol ion; they required some relaxation after a day's work, but they should not do it to the ex- clusion of standard works, after reading which thev would eventually find greater sati.sfucfTon m reading the lighter l*x>ks. They .should read carefully, as Bacon reminded them, not to con- iitruct and confute; to read, not to believe and take for granted. They ware to read, not to talk and discourse, but to read, think, a.nd con- sider. Yet. that was not too main object. They were to road so that they should do their part. Thev should read f« that thev may think and eon si dor, and seek to get to the level of the writers. There were some books she had read which she would not have missed for anything. There was one amongst the buoks before her— "'The French Revolution." To the owner of that she would say, "Don't be afraid if yoa cannot understand all of it, but try and under- stand all you eon about it (hear, hear). Cariyle was a rugged man, but be was true and honest, and we ej,i always read such books as that." It had been of Bacon that he was the "brightest, wisest, meanest of mankind." How terrible it was to have the last word linked to the others. It was possible to be deeply versed in beoks, and shallr*w in oneee'jf. They should be warned against that. Miss Sallie Porry, a local aopra-no vocalist, gave an acceptable rendering of "Tho Lost CivJrd." PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. Miss Hovey then distributed prizes to the suc- cessful members. These were: First prize: Messrs J. T. Taylor, John Jones (Easby House), Owen, Soott,, H. Garni do, Lillev, W. F. Booth, H. Parry, II. Woodiwiss, Hill Hum- phreys, Win. Jones, E.

Mr It.

Mr J, W.

On a division, however, only thr»-e grntlorron voted for the motion, and tlie question thus stands deferred. FINANCE. The Committee reported tht there wa.s a balance at the bank on the i!rri ult.. of £lj:1O on the Conway (hstri",t ael" .unt, whilst outstanding cheques amounted I to £598. The Glan Conway district account showed a credit nett balance of L50 4s 3d. STKHf ROAD ROLLER. A spe<'ial meeting of the Council re]K>rted purchasing a steam i-oller, a sleeping van, t1 accommodate three men, and a water car, at a cost of £50:1. It was decided to hire the roller to the Glan Conway Rural District Council when required, at an inclusive charge of 1035, per day and t h, the Survevor made enquiries with a view to obtaining a lease of the old Oroesffordd Smithy, to be us-'d as a shed for the stor- ing of the roller. NEW PROPERTY. Plans were approved relating to two semi-detached houses in Bodelwyddan A "II.;e, Old (,'olwvn, for Mr Robert Evans, and addition* to the Rhoa-ou-Sea Golf Club House. OLD COLWYN LIGHTING. A special committee reported inspecting the Coun- cil's pumping station, 11.1' Old Colwvu, and recom- mended that ilie place be lighted by g-t. They a.'so requested the Council o move in the mutter of pro- viding street lamps in Wellington and Queen's roads, and to push on with the surface water drain from the boundary of the pal ih to the Colwyn river. On the motion of Mr Raynes, who remarked that the sooner the work be earned out the better, and secon- ded by the Chairman, it was resolved to write the Colwyn Bay gvt« manager fMr Pennington), inquiring what would be the oo»t of lighting the two roads in question and sugg.-vting to the Colwyn Bay Urban Dis- trict Council that the work he done on ihe understand- ing that each Council pay half the (-)St. Mr Raynes remarked that he understood that the surface water drain question referred to had been 801- ready settled. Mr Aueurin Jones: This is one of those questions which have been allowed to drift. Mr Rayne., asked whether the work would have to be paid ft)j- in the same way as that part of the scheme already completed, namely, irom an unsanctioned loan. The Clerk: We may as well 1) sent to prison tor £1000 as for £800 (laughter.) It was resolved that the recommendation of the com mitt-ee !Ie adopted. PENUHY>iSIDE WATEH SUPPI-T AGAIN. In accordant* with notice, Mr K Evans moved that in view of the scarcity of water a Penrhynside. the I authorities be asked 10 stop pumping water to the higher levels at Colwyn Bay and Llysfaen two days a week, go that the Pciirhyn be given a supply for at least two day" a week. He complained that there was 110 waier atL>1nable in the district, even for the most- necessary sanitary matters. Mr Aneurin .Tones What can we do" The (Xerk What does Llysfaen fay about it,? Mr lvaynes Llysfaen would have a very great ob- jection w stopping our pumping. Th" Clerk: And so would Colwyn Bay, no doubt. Mr RayHts added that there was still a scarcity of water at Llysfaen, and though they would be glad to do what, was reasonable to help Penrhyn, fit, was afni 1 they could not do away with even an hour's pumping per wpek, Mr It. Roberts said that for the sake of discussion he seconded the motion, but he failed to see what could he done under the circumstances. Mr Aneurin Jones said he could not see that that wa.i a wry burning question at Penrhyn Mr Evan Evans. The Surveyor will b able to tell Yoll all about that. Mr An-'urin Jones replied that Penrhyn had not taken any step to inform the Council tha the matter was 1 of o series a character, and wh n tll Council did take t hI' matter up some time previously the Penrhyn jteople were the tirst to i.bject to the Council's scheme, preferring to do without the water rather than in. cur the expenditure of £¡,o on the work suggested. Mr E. Evans said the water was the joint property of the constituent authorities and Penrhynside were thus justly e, to an adequate supply. The Clerk pointed out tha Penrhyn w"re situated in precisely the "'}U11' position as Llysfaen and OJlwyu Pay, both of which p';1,,('S had provided themselves, at the c st of thousands of pounds, with pumping sta- tions, which carriwl the water to the higher levels. Penrhynside should have provided themselves in some such way. ALLEGED TRESPASS AT ROEWEN. A letter read from Messis Porter, An ^-leit and Jones complaining of trespass all-ged to have been committed by the C mneil's workmen at Gilfacb, Roc- wen, and requesting the Council that the damage done bo repaired, and that the land in question b restored to its former state. Mr Fisher said the contentions of flip writers were quite incorpjct. The land in question was part of a footpath whieh had nilt been in 1¡'I' of late years because bramhle.s 3.11') overgrowth had be#-n allowed (0 choke up the path in consequence "If the cutting away of t-Ite approach to it some time ago. There was, no doubt, but that the path was pubic property. Mr Hugh Owen remarked that, a special committee appointed t,.) inspect the spot on a previous occasion had also been of opinion that the path was a pub- lie one. Mr Fisher: There I" riot the slightest doubt about it and the Parish Council are prepared to face the music over rhi, matter whatever happens in a court of law or elsewhere (Iwar. hear). Mr Fisher ga-ve a detailed .account, of what, had hap- pened b tween the Council and the owner of tlie ad- joining land in the past. He (the speaker) con- tended that Rural District Councils as the stronger and superior 3utllOriti"s should do all they eoul,1 to encourage Parish Councils fighting cases for the public good such as that (hear, hear). He was the chairman of Roewcn Parish Council and was quite prepared toO speak for that body. Mr Aneurin Jour's said he was in full sympathy with Mr Fisher. The rural authority ntiglu not have the right, to deal directly with those matters, but they had the right to express th?tr opinion and to do what they could in iliat. direction to hold up the hands of the Parish Council ill their endeavour to protect publi • rights. Mr H. Roberts sitl he did not s.">e the use of Parish Councils unless they could see to such matters them- selves. It was decided to wrile replying that the Council repudiated liability. UNDESIRABLE INTERFERENCE While the Council's pumping station at Old Colwyn was under oon3id"ratioll, Mr Aneurin Jones stated that the men engaged there were unduly interfered with. In fact every tinker of an official from other authori- ties went there, and he lwticpd that the Colwvn Bay Council had taken good care to so protect their- pump- ing station that no outsider could get in-side without permission. It was d,¡¡J1"t:1 to fix a notice warning persons against trespassing on tho station property.

"FUNERAL OF A MERIONETHSHIRE LADY THE LATE MRS. W. H. CLAYTON. I The mortal remains of Mrs Winifred Holland Clayton, youngest daughter "i the late Captain and Mrs Hol- land-Thomn_s, of Caerffynon. Talsarnau, were interred in Llanflh«ngel-y-Trao4Jiau Churchyard, on Saturday after- noon. Um Clayton had been ailing for a long time, her health having been undermined by the deadly hot climate in the Strait Settlements, where her husband, the son of the Bishop of I.ucester, holds a responsible and lucrative position under the British Government—as ono of the leading Civil Service Officials. She turned to England, hoping to regain her lost strength, but thft fell disease—consumption—defied every effort to dislodge it. and, notwithstanding every cart; and atten- tion-cumbined with all that the highest medical skill could do. she passed peacefully away at The Shieling, Hindhead. Surrey, in the presence of her sisters. Miss Holland-TliomaM. Mrs Claude Haigh, Borlhwen, and Lady Isambard-Owen. The service in the hoase was in Welsh, and conducted by the Ilev. D T. Hug-hes, rector. The Lord Bishop of Leicester (father-in-law of the deceased) was present, in his episcopal robes. The school children formed a procession before the corteg-, and nr. they wended their way under the trees and along the road, they presented a very striking spectacle, their bright young faces beaming in the bril- liant sunshine, forming a strong contrast to the mourn- fal hearse and carriages that followed. At the Church gate the body was received by the Bishop of Leicester, the Right Reverend L. Clayton, P.B., and the rector, Itv. 1). T. Hughes, and aura to, Rev. Robeit Jones. The children lined the path leaclc ing to the Church, and the coffin was borne between them. The Lesson, 1 Corinthians xv and the remair- der of the service were read by the Bishop. The schfflh children, led by Mr J. Thomas, headmaster, sang "M.. nghyfeillion adre'n myned" at the graveside, to tiwt plaintive tunc" Lallilanne," and the beautiful voicee of t.he children brought Lear, to the eyes of many. Mr R. Jones-Morris, J.P., Ty Cerrig, played the "Dead March" in Saul, as the body was conveyed from the Church. Sir Isambard-Owen, M D., F.R.B., Principfil of Armstrong. College, KcwcasUe-on-Tyne, was pre--rt; The chief mourners were Miss Holland-Thomas, HC Claude Haigh. Borthwen. and Lady Owen (sisters). Mr Claude Haigii, of Borthwen. Ruperintended the fcnetral arrangements. Much sympathy is kIt for the husband wj10 is at his post-and the sisWs in their bereavo- nwnt, Mrs Clayton was but 35 years of age. The Bishop left in the afternoon to take part in an. important function on Sunday in Peterborough Cathedral.
