It was reported that there were in the work- house 166 inmates, as against 152 the corres- ponding period last year. The number of vag- rants relieved during the fortnight was, 162, an increase of 10. Gifts had been received from the Misses Ro- berta, Tan'rallt, Abergele, and Mr Wm. Wil- liams Cae Drain, Tr-efnant; also from a friend of Mr Robert Jones, Prestatyn. The usual vote of thanks was passed. On the motion of the Chairman, it was de- cided to give the inmates the usual treat at Christmas. The Vice-Chairman said it ras customary to give an extra Is to the out-door poor,, and he gave notice that at the next Board meeting he would propose that it be allowed. Mr Gunner intimated that he would second it. DID NOT LIKE OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE A letter was read from Mr T. Pierce Hughes (an ex-guardian of Denbigh) asking the Board I to give out-door relief to a person in Denbigh, he considering it a deserving case. The letter was laid on tihe table. A DENBIGH WOMAN'S APPLICATION. A letter was read from Mr It. Humphreys Roberts (Denbigh) with reference to a case. from Denbigh, where the woman had been re- fused relief. He said he had been asked to write on the woman's behalf as it was said that she had money in the bank, but from inquiries made he found that that was not so. Mr John Roberts pointed out that the woman had been before the committee, and they had decided to stop the relief. Why should they now re-open the case ? The Denbigh Relieving Officer said that the woman had two sons at home and an unmarried daughter, and they lived in three cottages, for which they paid 4s 7d per week. The woman was called before the Board, and said that one of her sons was about to get mar- ried, and could not afford to give her anything but the rent. She denied having any money in the Post Office Savings Bank. She was agree- able to Mr Grimsley to accompany her to the bank to make inquiries. Mr J. E. Jones proposed that no outrelief be granted, as the applicant had two sons and a daughter at home. He did not consider that she was destitute. Mr John Roberts seconded. Mr J. D. Jones moved tnat the matter be left with Mr Grimsley to deal with. Mr W. Conwy Bell seconded. The Relieving Officer, in reply to Mr Batho, said he did not consider that there was destitu- tion. Mr Batho said that was sufficient for him, and that was all the Board had to deal with- He might, if necessary, deal with the post office matter another time. The Vice-Chairman thought that there must be something in the woman's claim or she would not come th,-re meeting after meeting to ask for ieliefi On a vote being taken, it was decided by a large majority to make inquiries through the Clerk. CALLS IN ARREARS. The Clerk reported that the following parishes were in arrears with calls made on October 27th: —Bettws, Cefn, Dyserth, Llanddulas, Llanfai-Y, Llansannan, Meliden, Prestatyn, Rhuddlan, and Rhyl. The Vice-Chairman said that whereas tihe call was due on October 27th, the rates were not made until October 26th, and it was necessary to allow a little time to collect the money. Mr John Roberts asked why the parishes could not pay up as well as Abergele. The Vice-Ohairman replied that be had been asked as an overseer to make a rate that would permit of a balance being carried forward from one-half-year to the other in order to meet the early oalls, but he did not agree with asking people for more rates than were necessary. Why should they take money from the people in order to pile up a huge balance, sometimes of F,3000, in the bank? ("No, no."). He knew what he was talking about, and he did not see why the bank should have the benefit of always having money in hand, as they alwatye had the best of the bargain. Mr W. Conwy Bell agreed with Mr Frimston as to the rates being made a day or so before the call was due. He was pleased to hear that they had so much money in Abergele that they could pay on demand. Mr Pierce denied that the Finance Commit- tee kept a ]&rge sum in hand. The Clerk said the balance in the bank was about L400, and that would soon disappear. At the end of the month some E5000 had to be paid to the County Councils, and the money was merely paid in to accumulate to meet countiy calls. Mr Robt. Jones asked if the account was ever overdrawn. The Clerk: Very seldom. It was decided to issue the usual notices.

TRADE UNION FUNDS. COMPULSORY LEVY FOR SUPPORTING LABOUR MEMBERS DECLARED ILLEGAL. A judgment of the greatest importance to members of trade unions was given in the Court of Appeal on Saturday, when the appeal was allowed, with costs, in the case of Osborne v. The Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. The case raised the question whether the funds of a trade union could be legally used for the support of Labour members in Parliament. It arose on a motion for a declaration that a reso- lution passed to enable this to be done was ultra vires. Mr Justice Neville at the original hearing decided in favour of the defendant So- ciety, holding, in effect, that the way in which trade unions employed their funds to obtain re- presentation in the House of Commons was a matter with which the courts were not con- cerned. In the Court of Appeal, on Saturday, the Mastor of the Rolls stated that he was of opinion that it was not competent for a trade I union to provide for Parliamentary representa- tion by means of a compulsory levy upon its members. The appeal would be allowed, with costs.

THE MUSINGS OF A LONDON WELSHMAN. [From "The Nationalist-"] There was a goodly muster of friends on the platform of the Euston Station to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer off to Bangor, where he was to receive from the University of Wales, on the 13th ult., the honorary decree of Doctor of Laws, and where he was subse- quently to deliver an address to Bolland's guests at the Penrhyn Hall. Mr Lloyd George had not arrived when I joined the group. Most of the party I knew intimately, end they re- ceived me with great cordiality. Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., drew me gfently aside, smiling inquisitively, and whispered to me—"Who is that benevolent-looking old chap in a brown suit and a black bowler "Why," I replied, lifting my eyebrows but keeping my voice at the low plane of a whis- per, "that is Sir Alfred Thomas, the Chairman of the Welsh party." "The deuoe it is!" replied the genial coal magnate. "How very odd Of course I ought to know the old boy. The fact is, I always understood that that little oliap over there was the Chairman of the Welsh party. He is al- ways in the lobby of the House, although, now that I think of it, I cannot call to mind that I have ever seen him actually in the House." "My good man, what are you thinking about ?" said 1, still talking in a whiuper. "That is Mr John Rowland, the private secretary of Mr Lloyd George." Just at tiiis moment Sir Alfred worked his way out of the crowd, and coming forward with ai kind of a limp to Mr Rowland, gave him his right hand to touch. "Most of you fellows don't know, perhaps," said Sir Alfred, addressing the group, and plac- ing his hand on Rowland's (shoulder, "that this young' man is the son of the Rev. Daniel Row- land of Llangeitho." "Come now, old man," said Ellis Griffith, the member for some place near the Menai Straits, "this is rather early in the aay for you to be moidering in this fashion. You will be saving next that William Jones here is the eon of the Rev. Griffith Jones of Llanddowror." "Go on, baohan," said Sir Alfred, "I shall be saying nothing so foolish. Griffith Jones is a very old friend of mine. But, by the bye, Ellis Griffith," went on Sir Alfred, speaking very softly, "who is that fellow in a frock ooai and silk hat?" "Ho is Herbert Lewis, the junior Liberal Whip, I believe," replied Griffith. Hugh Boswell Edwards, naving overheard this little conversation, promptly intervened and said, "Nothing' of the kind. He is Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P." "I don't believe it," said Sir Alfred. "Well surely 1 ought to know, said Boswell Edwards, "for I am actually engaged in writing his biography. He is descended irom Sir Rhys ap Thomao." "Now none of your blooming non,sense," said the knight angrily. "Llewelyn Williams told me the other day that Sir Rhys ap Thomas has been allotted to me. D. A. Thomas and I cannot be descended from the sama iellow, who- ever he was." "Don't let us quarrel about it. You may hang on to him if you are very particular about it, and I will fai-ten D. A. to some other ancestor. The difficulty is that nearly all the great Welsh- men of the part have already been appropriated by the Welsh members. Sir Herbert Roberts, for instance, has just discovered that he is in a direct line from Lord Herbert of Cherbur-y." "What about Bra-ce yo; asked Vincent. "Brace is simply an Anglicised form of Breese, that is Ap Rhys. And Mr William Brace is said to be descended from Rhys ap Tewdwr," "And Mabon ?" "Of course, he can go as far back as the head on one of the lest tribes of Israel." Further conversation at this particular mo- ment suddenly oeasod, for the Chancellor of the Exchequer was sosn approaching, wearing the gorgeous uniform of the Constable of Carnarvon Cast.le, and carrying in his hand what appeared to be a baton. Mr Winston Churchill and Mr Herbert Lewis were walking' behind him the former carrying the Chancellor's umbrella and the latter his goloshes. "I had to don this uniform," said the Chan- cellor, addressing his admirers collectively, "on account of these Suffragettes. They were wait- ing for me outside the station, quite a crowd of them, in prstty white caps and clean pink faces. For a moment the sweet little things looked threateningly at me, but only for a moment. The gold braid and the glittering buttons proved too much for them. Their lively little tongue3 clung to the roofs of their mouths. They blush- ed, Lewis blushed, I blushed, and even Winston blushed—-didn't you Win?" Winston bowed assent to this astounding state- ment. "Tlhat baton, too, is a very good idea of yours said Mr Pritohard Jones. "It wasn't my idea at all," replied the Chan- cellor, "but Vincent's. And please remember it is a baton only in appearance. If carefully exa- mined, it would be found to consist simply of a roll of paper thirty feet long, containing a copy of the speeches that were delivered at the last annual dinner of the London Cymmrodorion Society. There seemed no earthly reason why they shouldn't be made to serve some useful purpose "I suppose that if the worst came to the worst now," said Sir Herbert Roberts, "you would clap these rebellious Suffragettes into the Eagle Tower of your Cast-le." "Certainly," answered the Chancellor. "I have already made a provisional contract with Bollands of Chester for their maintenance. He feeds everybody in North Wales, as you are aware." "There are not many of them to be fed," muttered Sir Alfred. Sir Frank Edwards, Mr William Jones, Mr Herbert Lewis, Bocwell Edwards, John Row- land and myself were the only persons that ac- companied the Chancellor on his journety. As the train began to move, Winston Churchill handed the Chancellor's umbrella to Mr Wil- liam Jones, who smiled triumphantly, and ran the fingers of his left hand througn his hair, in token of the unexpected distinction that was thus graciously conferred upon him. Upon our arrival at the Bangor Station we were received by Lord Kenyon, Sir Harry Rei- obel, and Mr Henry Lewis- Standing a few paces behind them was a group of under-paid professors, with hungXir writ large in their long faoas. And they all wore long hair. My heart literally bleeds to see the6e poor half-starved geniuses," said the Chancellor, ad- dressing his lordship. "Hare they are, burst- ing with the most valuable information about Greek acoenta, the Abla.tive absolute, and, —— "And the Categorical Imperative," interposed Mr William Jones, holding up the umbrella and beating the air with it. "And the binomial theatre," said one of Bor- land's waiters, whom we had not noticed until that moment. "Yes," continued the Chancellor, unmindful of the interruptions, but looking frowningly in the direction of Sir Frank Edwards, whence had escaped an exclamation that sounded like Ju! Ju! "what is really splendid about these men is their self-denial. Every man Jack of them has been offered a post elsewhere, worth JB5000 a year, with shaving, iair-cutting, and a full allowance of gas thrown in, but rather than leave poor, dear little Wales, whose history they are Building up, they have deliberately ahosen to remain at their poets, as they tell me, with a workhouse allowance of C350 or B400 a year, gas included, but shaving and hair-dressing extras." "Fundamentally and absolutely true," exclaim- ed Mr William Jones, brushing' away his tears with the back of his hand. Somebody, immediately behind Sir Frank Edwards, a second time muttered "Ju! Ju 1" "I could not have believed it, had I not been told of it by the Professors themselves," said the Chancellor. "I can well understand Jones's tears, and were it not for these Suffragettes, I woudn't mind giving way myself a little." One of these Professors, in obedience to a nod from Lord Kenyon, now stepped forward and handed a shoet of foolscap paper to the Chancellor, who, after casting his eye hurriedly over it, asked— "What is the meaning of all this "They are the spontaneous 'gags' that have been decided upon for the Capping Ceremony to-morrow afternoon," said Professor Robbarrts. "They are all seemingly about Marchant," said the Chancellor- "Who is he?" Mr John Rowland shed the radiance of a great smile upon his Chief, and his Chief under- stood.

THE BRYMBO SCHOOL DISPUTE. EDUCATION COMMITTEE RECOGNISE CHURCH SCHOOL. A special meeting of the Denbighshire Educa- tion Committee was held at Chester on Friday, Mr W. G. Dodd presiding, for the purpose of dealing with the Brymbo School question. The Chairman said the committee had dealt with the managers of the school in the most lenienp manner possible time after time. Any steps the committee had taken had been taken in no vindictive manner. The Board of Educa- tion, as the result of an inquiry, had decided that the Council School was necessary, and at the same time that the Church of England School was necessary, but when the Board went out of their way to say that the school should be I recognised as from the 6th January last and that they (the Education Committee) should be considered re- sensible for the payment of the teachers' salaries from that date, the committee thought the Board were over-stepping the mark. That day, however, they were met under different cir- cumstances. They had been aoked by the Board of Education to give way in the matter and let bygones be bygones. He moved the following resolution: "In the interests of peace this committee agrees to the payment of the teachers' salaries of the Church of England Brymbo School as from the 6th of January last at the rate in force at that date." In con- clusion, he said the resolution might be intoler- able to some of them, but he thought it was their duty, at that particular time, to clear the decks for what was supposed to be a general settlement of the education question. Mr J. Powell seconded the resolution. Mr J. Gomer Roberts said he could not sup- port the resolution. The Rcv, Thomas Lloyd said it was not certain that the Education Bill was going to pass, and yet they were going to recognise the school for the past ten months, and they would have to maintain it for that period at a cost of seven or eight hundred pounds. Mr D. S. Davies said they were making a real sacrifice, but they were simply doing their duty as public men. He could not help thinking that they had been guided wrongly by the Board of Education in this matter. They were all sick of the turmoil of the prespnt Act of Parliament, and they were all srlad there was a prospect of peace. It was their bounden duty to accept any reasonable compromise in order to put an end to the present unsatisfactory situa- tion. The resolution on being put to the meeting waa carried ncm. con. It was further resolved that the secretary of the committee should claim the grant for the school, and that the school attendance officer should call at the school and see to the attend- ance of the scholars.

BRONCHIAL CATARRH. A LADY'S GREAT CURE BY VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mrs J. Brown, of 2, Fairfield-road, Chelmsford, writes:—"For about a year I suffered severely from Bronchial Catarrh; I tried several patent medicines, but found none so successful as Veno's Lightning Cough Cure. After taking only 3 doses I obtained great relief, both in breathing and in coughing, and after taking your great re- medy for a little time I was quite well again. I am never without a bottle of Veno's Lightning Cough Cure in the house, and shall continue to recommend it to my friends, as the finest medi- cine for coughs of any kind." Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is a safe and certain remedy for coughs and colds, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, and all chest and throat troubles.

A MUSICAL CONDUCTOR'S DIVORCE SUIT. DECREE NISI RESCINDED. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE. In the Divorce Court to-day week, before the president, Sir G. Barnes, the case of Hague v. Hague and Clayton (the King's Proctor interven- ing) came on for hearing. This was a suit in which Mr Walter Forrest Hague, described as having been musical conduc- tor of the Empire Music Hall, Liverpool, whose appointment as musical director to the Colwyn Bay Pier Company, was announced a fortnight ago, and residing in Moscow-drive, Liverpool, had obtained a decree "nisi" for the dissolution of I- is marriage with Matilda Septima Hague, on. the ground of her misconduct. The King's Proctor now intervened, alleging that Mr Hague had himself been guilty of mis- conduct with a Mrs Kate Beck, wife of a mer- chant, of Derwent-road, Stoneycroft, Liverpool. The case was unopposed. Mr Dickens, K.C., Mr Graham Campbell, and Mr W. O. Willis were counsel for the King's Proctor. Mr Dickens said that Mr Hague was the con- ductor at the Empire Theatre, Liverpool, and Mrs Beck, with whom adultery was alleged had lived in Derwent-road, Liverpool. Her husband was a merchant, and was often absent from home on business, sometimes going to Germany. In 1899 Mr Hague first went to Mr Beck's house. He apparently started by giving Mrs Beck sing- ing lessons, and from that time onwards he was a constant visitor to the house, always in the ab- sence of Mr Beck. When Mr Beck was in Ger- many Mr Hague sometimes spent the night at the house. Mrs Beck apparently went constantly to the Empire Theatre, and used to come away with Mr Hague, and they went to her home together in a tramcar, where they had supper, and he re- mained until one or two o'clock in the morning, and sometimes the whole night. That they were on terms of affection was shown by the fact that they had been seen kissing, and that letters of an affectionate charcter had passed between them. They went out cycling together, and lunched to- gether. There were three or four episodes which left no doubt as to their relationship—one in 1900, and another in 1903, when the servant took tea into the room to them. The President: Where was his wife? ( Mr Dickens said that Mr Hague and his wife had separated at that time. The date of the separtion was 1899. A next-door neighbour at elevon o'clock one night heard Mr Hague come to the house on a bicycle. He was met by Mrs Beck, and after- wards the figures of two people were seen on the blind in the bedroom upstairs. Next morn- ing Mr Hague left the house about half-past nine o'clock. A SERVANT'S STORY. Agnes Whitling, living in Shaftesbury-terrace, Liverpool, examined by Mr Willis, said that from 1899 to 1903 she was in the employment of Mr and Mrs Beck at their house in Derwent-road, Liverpool. She knew Mr Walter Hague. What was he?—He was conductor at the Em- pire Theatre, Liverpool. In the absence of Mr Beck, did he come to your master's house to see Mrs Beck?—Almost every day. Used he to be alone with her?—Yee. How long?—From two o'clock till five o'clock in the afternoon. Has Mr Hague ever slept at the house?—Yes, on several occasions. When he slept there where was Mr Beck?-He was abroad. So far as you know was there any reason for Mr Hague sleeping at the house?—Not that I know of He was supposed to occupy the son's room. Only witness, Mrs Beck, and Mr Hague were in the house at that time. Witness said that the two came home from the theatre about midnight, and when they came in they had supper together. Sometimes witness was up till one and two o'clock, and they had not then arrived. Have you seen them kissing?—Yes. How did they address each other?—He ad- dressed^ her as "Dear Kate." She addressed him as Dearest," "Dear Walter," and sometimes she called him "Darling." ^Did you take tea up to them in the morning?— es, I have taken breakfast up on a large tray for two. Where was the breakfast consumed?—In Mr.9 Beck's bedroom. Witness added that Mr Hague had given Mrs Beck a diamond brooch on her birthday. She had seen letters from Mr Hague to Mrs Beck, which began, "My dear Kate." WHAT A NEIGHBOUR SAW. Mr C. H. Rigby said that he formerly occupied the house next to Mr Beck's house in Derwent- road. He knew Mr Hague by sight, as the con- ductor at the Empire Theatre. He had seen Mr Hague about frequently with Mrs Beck. Ho had seen him come to the house, and he had seen the two go out together on bicycles and return together. When he had been out cycling himself he had met them. It was between 1900 and 1903—one night, so far a.s he could remember, in 1902, July or August—he was with his wife in the garden about half-past eleven o'clock, and he heard the sound of a bicycle bell ringing sharply. Then the sound was muffled. After- wards he saw the shadows of two persons on that blind in the dining-room of Mrs Beck's house. Afterwards the shadows appeared on the bedroom blind. The next morning he saw Mr. Hagu outside the house pumping up his bicycle. Mrs Rigby gave similar testimony. Harriet Louisa Nelson, who was in Mr and Mrs Beck's service in 1900, said she had seen Mr Hague come to the house on his bicycle. She had seen Mrs Beck and Mr Hague go out on their bicycles. They both came to the house after the theatre to supper between eleven ajid twelve o'clock. Sometimes she had been awake half the night, and had not heard Mr Hague go away. He had stayed the night on more than one occasion. They addressed each othor affectionately. Mr Hague called Mrs Beck "Dear Kate." Have you ever seen them kissing?—Yes, ■ many times. Have you ever seen him with his arm round her waist?—Yes, many times. His lordship on this rescinded the decree "nisi," and dismissed the petition, with costs. STRONG JUDICIAL REMARKS. The President, in giving his decision, said there was plenty of evidence on which to re- scind the decree. The only thing was that it was not satisfactory to have the case stand where it did. There appeared to have been a letter from the co-respondent, sent to the judge who tried the case, making charges against Mr Hague, which that gentleman at the trial denied. If that sort of thing was to go on without some- thing further being done then such instances would continue. It seemed to be a matter for the King's Proctor to determine whether he could succeed in a prosecution for perjury. He would, however, give no opinion on that subject. At the same time, there appeared to be a constant current of cases where the people not only kept things back from the court, but swore that which ¡ was not true in order to get a decree of divorce. Mr Dickens said that his lordship's remarks would be carefully considered.

Mr Edmund Gillart and Mr H. Meredith Ro- berts, solicitors, Machynlleth, have 1 been ap- pointed clerks to the Machynlleth Urban Dis- trict Council and Local Governing Body respec- tively, in place of Mr John Rowlands. Mr Henry Isaac Barnato, of the firm of Bar- nato Brothers, died on Monday at his residence in London.
