IR JAMES BARR AND CONWAY FORESHORE.
IR JAMES BARR AND CONWAY FORESHORE. While Sir James Barr, the eminent Liver- pool physician, was giving evidence in the "Deganwy Milk Case" he remarked that sewer gas contains fewer germs than the ordinary atmosphere—a fact which is low generally accepted by experts-and, in reply- ing to a facetious criticism of the statement in a Sunday contemporary, Sir James makes a number of observations which warrant wide publicity. Some of the evidence given Ly other medical men tended to throw a con- siderable amount of suspicion upon the sanitary condition of certain parts of Llan- dudno, Deganwy, and the Conway shore. Sir James clears up this point with an emphatic assertion that the public can make as many tours as they like to Llandudno, Deganwy, and even to the Conway foreshore, of whose sludges we have heard so much, without any risk of catching typhoid bacilli blowmg about the atmosphere. If these bacilli were blown about by any wind that listeth very few in the Llandudno district should have escaped infection." Sir James has also a word of sound advice for Welsh farmers. "Now that the two epidemics of typhoid iever in the district have been traced to the milk supply," he observes, "I hope the Welsh farmers will be very careful in the future, and probably they will be found as clean as the Italians, so that those seeking a summer holiday will run as few risks in the Conway district as on the shores of the Mediter- ranean." Sir James concludes with the signi- ficant remark: "This long and expensive trial has further convinced me that in the interests of the public, and in the interests of justice, expert testimony should not be admitted into a court of law." In Sir James Barr's opinion witnesses should be confined to statements of fact. In the event of the judge and jury wishing an interpretation of those facts lie suggests that the judge should have power to call in as an assessor a man well versed ;n the subject under consideration. We are inclined to think that many people will agree with this view. Experts can be easily found for both sides. They may be perfectly con- scientious in their opinions, but the result is that the public become bewildered and wonder what expert evidence is really worth.
Poor Law Administration.--I
Poor Law Administration. The ratepayers of the Conway Union will be interested in the report presented by the Go- vernment Inspector at the Board of Guardians meeting on Friday. He spoke in terms of high praise of the administration of the workhouse, which he referred to as the most homely insti- tution of the kind he knew of. He congratula- ted the Board upon the reduced cost of indoor maintenance, and he was particularly impressed with the success of the new children's home jcheme, a fact which should be encouraging to other unions to follow the lead set them by the Conway Board in this matter. Mr Williams is a whole-hearted advocate of the cottage home system, believing that "from whatever point of view it is considered it is the best in the interests of the children and, in the long run, the best also in the interests of the ratepayers, because it is true economy to prevent children becoming pampers," which, he insists, is what the system does. With reference to out-door relief the In- spector pointed out that in Wales only one per- son in every five of those relieved were sheltered in the workhouses. This is due very largely to the ignorance of the public as to the conditions of life in the institutions, and the Inspector sug- gested that membcra of boards of guardians should help to remove unreasonable sentimental objections by encouraging the public to visit the institutions under their charge. The suggestion deserves consideration.
* Proposed Transfer of Llysfaen.
Proposed Transfer of Llysfaen. Advocates of the scheme for the transfer of the parish of Llysfaen from the county of Car- narvon to the county of Denbigh for administra- tive purposes, have secured the allegiance of an influential supporter in Mr J. W. Ilayne, who declared himself in favour of the project at Fri- day's meeting of the Conway Rural District Council. Hitherto Mr Raynes has been against the change, but, having regard to the manner in which the Carnarvonshire Authority are neg- lecting the interests of the pariah, he now finds he can no longer regard the question from the same standpoint. "The Carnarvon County Council," he remarked on Friday, "will not give us the extra, police assistance we should have; they will not do what is fair by our schools, and they refuse to help us adequately with foot- paths for our principal thoroughfares." As the largest ratepayer in Llysfaen, a representative of the parish on tho Rural District Council, and the keenest public man in the area concerned Mr liaynes' opinion will naturally carry muoh weight in the present movement- At the forth- coming Local Government Bo-d inquiry into the question, a deputation from the Conway Rural District Council will in aid probability attend to ffivo evidence against the Carnarvonshire Coun- cil, st) that the latter'a opposition has lost a con- *\<Jorab:e amount of its potency. t<<tcrab.c amount of its potency.
* Tho Late Lady Florentia…
Tho Late Lady Florentia Hughes. The regrettable death on Sunday of Lady Florentia f 1 ughea of Kinmel, has removed one who had a warm heart and a kindly feeling for the Welsb people. As the daughter of the Earl 01 Rav^ns-worth, she had early the entree into Court circles, and, by her innate oharm of smanw- tacfcj aari those indefinable qualities tbdt win confidence, she soon attracted the notice of the late Queen, with whom she remained till Her Majesty's death on terms of close friendship. It is now known that Lady Florentia. on more than one occasion used her considerable influence in high social life for the moral and intellectual advancement of the Welsh people. Latterly she concentra-ted practically all her attention can improving the lot of the poor around Kinmel, .and helping the cause of charity generally. With the sorrowing husband and family universal sym- pathy prevails.

'*' THE KING'S VISIT TO CHESTER.

DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL.
DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. THE LLYSFAEN DIFFICULTY. THE HOWELL CHARITY. (From our Reporter.) A special meeting of the Denbighshire County Coun- csil was held at Denbigh yesterday (Wednesday), Mr A. 0. Evans (chairman) presiding. HOWELL'S SCHOOL CHARITY. The Clerk (Mr W. R. Evans) submitted a draft scheme of the Beard of Education for the revision of the con- stitution of the above charity, and the Council was given the opportunity to object to the scheme, or any provision there-in. Mr W. G. Dodd (Llangollen) formally moved that the scheme be approved. Dr. Lloyd (Denbigh) seconded. Replying to Mr Thos Jones (Wrexham), the Clorli said that the Denbighshire share of the revenue was (approximately) £400{) per annum, or about four-tenths of the total, exclusive of the b:rildings. Mr Geo. Bevan (Colwyn Bay) asked what was the necessity for Clause 2 of the scheme, which dealt with the religious opinions of the Governing Body. Was there any disability calling for the insertion of such a clausei The Clerk said the only reply he could give was that similar clauses were now inserted in all schemes issued by the Board of Education for Wales. Mr Bevan said it was unfortunate that this clause was put in the scheme, because it seemed to invite the election of people without any religious opinjon at all. He would not, hovrever, propose any amendment. The scheme was then adopted unanimously. APPOINTMENTS. Mrs W. R. Evans, Haulfre, Ruthin, was appointed a governor of the Ruthin County School in succession to Mrs L. G. Thomas, now of Colwyn Bay and Dr. David Lloyd, Denbigh, was elected representative on the Court of Governors of the North Wales University College. THE AUDITOR'S OBJECTION. The question of appointing delegates to the Congress of the Royal Sanitary Institute and other similar con- ference?, elicited an interesting piece of information from the clerk. At the last audit, he said, the auditor made a considerable objection to passing expenses for attending meetings of this kind, and intimated that he would not again sanction such expenses. Meetings of this character were now getting very numerous- so numerous indeed that he could not pass the claims in respect of same. It was decided to make no appointments. THE PROPOSED TRANSFERENCE OF LLYSFAEN. The Clerk submitted a resolution passed a short time ago by the Llysfaen Parish Council strongly protesting against the proposed transference of that parish into Denbighshire. The Clerk said there was no doubt that at an enquiry regarding the proposals of Denbighshire in this matter, those proposals would be fought by Carnarvonshire and the Llysfaen Parish Council. He, therefore, asked for authority to brief counsel to ap- pear for the county. Mr Gomer Roberts asked what would be the probable expense. The Cle-rlc That will depend upon the length and form of the inquiry. If you brief counsel of high standing, you will have to pay a gooci fee, and it is no use engaging a man who cannot do the work required. Mr Trevor LJoyd Jones (Llangollen) asked what the prospects of success were (laughter). It appeared to him tha,t Denbighshire would be fighting combined authorities, and that their chance of success was hope- less. A good deal of money would be spent, and nothing gained. The Clerk said the Council had already gone to considerable expense in the mtater, and would now have to see it through. Mr McMorran, K.C., was of opinion that the only way to get over the difficulty in regard to Llysfaen was to transfer it to Denbighshire. Mr Bevan said the probable result was that Den- bighshire would get what they were asking for—(hear, hear)—because on the face of it it looked like genuine commonsense (hear, hear, and laughter). Llysfaen was entirely cut out of Carnarvonshire, and overpowering reasons could be placed before the Commissioner in favour of its transference. Eventually it was decided to appoint five members as J Consultative Committee to act with the Clerk in the matter before any expense is incurred in engaging counsel. This was all the business.

I THE CAMPAIGN IN WEST DENBIGHSHIRE.
I THE CAMPAIGN IN WEST DENBIGHSHIRE. SIR HERBERT ROBERTO AND THE PROGRAMME FOR WALES. A meeting of the West Denbighshire Liberal Council was held yesterday at Denbigh, under the presidency of Mr W. G. Dodd. There was a large attendance. The Chairman proposed the following re- solution: "That this meeting, as representing the Liberal electors of West Denbighshire, bi cc, expresses its high appreciation of Sir Her- bert Roberts' past services in Parliament, tenders to him its best thanks, and invites him to become the Liberal candidate at the forthcoming election." This was seconded by Mr O. Tsgoed Jones, Llanrwst, and supported by Mr Boaz Jones, Denbigh; Mr Pearson, Colwyn Bay; Mr Gomer Roberts, Ruthin; Mr Elcock, Colwyn Bay, and others, and was carried unanimous- ly. Sir Herbert Roberts acknowledged the re- solution, and spoke at some length, dealing with the political situation. He said that the programme for Wales was (1) a good position for the Welsh Disestablishment Bill; (2) a settlement of the education question, in- cluding a readjustment of local and imperial contributions towards the cost of education, and the creation of a national Council of Education for Wales; (3) temperance legisla- tion; (4) the right of Wales to her own legisla- tion and (5) a larger measure of local self government for Wales. Referring to Free Trade, he said there were a number of things that could be done under a Free Trade system for the benefit of agri- culture, one of them being the assisting of land purchase on lines similar to those in Ireland. Mr Clement Edwards also addressed the meeting, and the work of organisation was afterwards proceeded with. The political campaign in West Denbigh- shire is opened this week by the Liberals with a public meeting at Colwyn Bay on Friday, the speakers being Sir J. Herbert Roberts, Mr E. G. Hemmerde, K.C., and Mr J. Her- bert Lewis.

THE COST OF LIVING.
THE COST OF LIVING. OOBDENITE FICTIONS EXPOSED BY MR TAFT. HIGHER FOOD PRICES NOT DUE TO THE TARIFF. speakers and publicists are constantly referring to tho high cost of Living in the United Sbates, and discovering entirely unreliable esta-tisticg to prove that it is accom- panied by a great mass of unemployment. President Taft's Message to Congress- on Tues- day effectually demolishes the theory that Pro- tection causes dear food, for, while it is true that the cost of living- has increased in the United States, the President properly poinita out that the increase prevails all over the world, in Cobdemte Great Britain as wejl as in protected America, and ho a/ids the significant fact that the increase has taken place in the prices of commodities unaffected by the recently revised tariff, or of those the import duties of which have been actually decreased.

An amusing' slip was made bv a speaker at a Liberal meeting, at Bangor, on Friday. "I hope," he said, "that the Budget will come back to us in 19010 with fresh vigour." What he meant was 1910. An- other speaker spoke of the future, which is behind."
- THE ISSUE IS TARIFF REFORM…
THE ISSUE IS TARIFF REFORM OR SOCIALISMt AND THE PEOPLE, NOT THE LORDS, MUST DECIDE. The Marquis of Lansdowne made a very important speech on the political crisis at the annual meeting of the Liberal Unionist Asso- ciation, at Plymouth, on Friday. Lord Lansdowne's speech was a magnificent exposure of the charges that are now being hurled at the House of Lords from a hun- dred Liberal platforms. He showed that the action of the House of Lords is the modest request that the Budget should be laid aside for a few weeks to give the people a chance of pronouncing judgment on it. In several telling passages he showed that the real purpose of the Budget is to take the wind out of the sails of Tariff Reform- "the great policy which will be the first issue at the coming election." Lord Lansdowne devoted an important part of his speech to the Liberal contention that the House of Lords stands in the way of Liberal measures. He showed how an enor- hous number of measures proposed by Liberal Governments have been passed by the Lords, and called the evidence of Mr Gladstone him- self in support of his statements. He pointed out that though the Licensing Bill was rejected the Government took no steps to reintroduce it, but let it die. They dropped one Education Bill, and substituted another. They tried a third, which Lord Lansdowne said he lookecl on with a favour- able eye, because it was a compromise, but their own supporters would not have it.
POINTS OF THE SPEECH.
POINTS OF THE SPEECH. MEMORABLE CRISIS. The following are the main points of Lord Lansdowne's speech: When a few weeks ago I accepted your in- vitation to come to Plymouth I little thought that I should meet you in the midst of a crisis which promises to be memorable in the history of this country, but after all, it is, perhaps, not amiss that I should come here accompanied by one or two other members of the House of Lords, fresh from the great event of Tuesday last. Now I desire to impress on you, if I may, that the situation which confronts you is really a very simple one, although no doubt every effort will be made to obscure it and render it unintelligible. The Government's methods of finance, which would have bankrupted a private con- cern, have created a colossal deficit, and it is proposed that that deficit shall be made good by taxes which the authors themselves de- scribe as momentous, and which beyond all question will press heavily upon all classes of the community. The House of Lords, acting we believe within its rights in fulfilment of its duty, demanded that this Budget shall be laid aside for a very few weeks, during which it is suggested that the members of the House of Commons should ascertain from their constituents whether they desire that these financial proposals should or should not be accepted. That is the action which is described as revolutionary, as an attack on the Consti- tution of this country, and a savouring of new-fangled Csesarism. I ask you please to note in passing these gentlemen who are so full of solicitude for our Constitution are the same gentlemen who, if you give them sufficient amount of scope, will probably Disestablish the Church, put an end to the Union between these islands, and condemn us to a system of single-Chamber government. Why is it that none of the six millions of the new taxes required for different purposes are to be paid by persons who either do not smoke, or drink lemonade, or any other in- sipid drink? As to the new direct taxes, we have been able to show that they fall with crushing severity on many people who cannot by any stretch of opinion be described as wealthy. FUTILE APPEALS. You are told constantly that our objection to the new taxes is explained by the fact that they fall in great measure on rich peo- ple, and that rich people desire to shirk their share of taxation. I cannot help thinking that our people in these days are a good deal too intelligent not to see through these appeals to class in- terest. They are perfectly well aware that you cannot divide the community into watertight compartments, and tax and injure the people in one compartment without injuring those in the other. You cannot worry capital with- out worrying labour also. Labour and capital arc essential to one an- other. For one reason in particular we object to having these proposals pressed with undue haste upon the country. We do not desire that you should be rushed into these taxes, and we believe his Majesty's Government want to rush you. They realise perfectly well that the great policy expressed in the words at the end of this building, "Tariff Reform"-tlie policy placed by Mr Chamberlain and Mr Balfour in front of our constructive programme-they see perfectly well that policy is gaining ground steadily in the country, and they desire to Anticipate it by forcing these taxes on you. Now you will be told that you ought to be patient and that you would have an oppor- tunity of pronouncing on these proposals in the year 1911 or thereabouts. We desire at any rate that you should have an opportunity of pronouncing, and that op- portunity should come to you not two years hence, but now. The first issue which you will have to deal with in the great struggle which lies before you is the issue of Tariff Reform as against the Budget-the extinct Budget. But there is another question, to my mind, more momentous still. You will have to de- cide whether you are not in favour of single- Chamber Government. A friend of mine called attention the other evening' to the interesting fact that these Liberal peers, or a great many of them, be- fore they have long occupied a seat on our benches cease to remain Liberal peers, and either absent themselves on important occa- sions or vote against their Liberal col- lea/rues We proposed not long ago to endeavour to render the House of Lords a little more effi- cient for the purpose of its duties, and we had a committee to inquire into the question. It may interest you to know that committee was boycotted by his Majesty's Government, who refused to take any part in its proceedings, and the reason is obvious. They are perfectly aware the more efficient you make your second Chamber the stronger it will be, and the less likely to tolerate the kind of treatment to which they have been subjected of late.

gabli gtoreutia tt9ij.e.
gabli gtoreutia tt9ij.e. We very much regret to announce the death of Lady Florentia Hughes, wife of Mr H. R. Hughes of Kinmel, Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire. The sad event occurred on Sunday night, at the residence of her son-in- law, Mr St. John Charlton, at Cholmondeley, Cheshire, where she had gone on a visit to her daughter. Her ladyship had a stroke from the effects of which she rallied at times, but gradually sank towards the end of last week. Mr Hughes was at Kinmel when his wife's death took place, having returned there for the week-end, but several of her children were present. Lady Florentia Hughes, who was born in 1828, was the second daughter of Henry Thomas, the first Earl of Ravensworth, who was the second Baron Ravensworth. The title of Baron Ravensworth was originally conferred upon Sir Henry Liddell, who was the fourth baronet, in 1747. Upon his death in 1784 the barony became extinct, the baronetcy, in the absence of a son, devolving upon his nephew, Sir Henry George, who died in 1791. In 1821 the barony of Ravens- worth was revived in Sir Thomas Henry, the sixth baronet. His son, Henry Thomas, who became the second baron, took a keen iatiiest in politics, sitting as member for Northumbei- land from 1826 to 1830 in the Ccn- servative interest, and from 1837 to 1817 sat for North Durham, and afterwards repre- sented the city of Liverpool in tne fifties for two years. In recognition of his services Lord Ravensworth had an Earldom conferred upon him. In 1820 his lordship married Isabella Horatia, daughter of the late Lord George Seymour, and Lady Florentia Hughes was the eldest surviving daughter of the marriage. She was married in 1853 to Mr Hugh Robert Hughes of Kinmel, Abergele. Her eldest son is Mr Hugh Seymour Bulkeley Lewis Hughes, J.P., who in 1885 married Mary Caroline Stewart, daughter of Mr James Stewart Hodgson, of Lythe Hall, Haslemere, Surrey. The second son is Colonel Henry Bodvel Lewis Hughes, of the Royal Anglesey Royal Engineers, and formerly Captain in the 14th Hussars. Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth Bronwen, is the wife of Mr St. John Charlton, of Cholmondeley, Malpas; the youngest daughter is the wife of the Hon. Lawrence À. Brodrick, of Coed Coch. The Hon. Mary Florentia Hughes, the second daughter, was a Maid of Honour to H.M. Queen Victoria from 1891 to 1901, and in 1902 was appointed Lady-in-Waiting to HJEf. Princess Louise Augusta of Schleswig- Holstein. Lady Florentia Hughes, who was a great favourite of the late Queen Victoria, was dis- tinguished for her generosity and kindly in- terest in the poor. By her death, not only the parishes of St. George and Abergele, but the whole of the surrounding districts have lost a true benefactor. There was no charitable institution, church or lay, in which her ladyship did not take a deep and per- sonal interest. Appeals on behalf of de- serving objects were never made to her in vain. She had always a regard for the wel- fare of those whose lot was not cast amid comforts and blessings of the fullest kind, and the amount of beneficent work she did in a quiet and unostentatious manner will never be fully realised. Her help was given, and her gifts bestowed in a manner which made the recipients feel that their pleasure in receiving her gifts was only equalled by her ladyship's delight in assisting those in need. For years Lady Florentia Hughes organised and personally carried out various movements to assist the finances of philanthropic institu- tions in this district. She took a great per- sonal interest in the Royal Alexandra Hos- pital at Rhyl, with which she has been associated from its foundation. On numerous occasions Lady Florentia and her daughters gave entertainments at Kinmel in aid of the Denbighshire Infirmary and other charitable institutions in the county. She was a de- voted Churchwoman, and her interest in the Church was not merely confined to the neigh- bourhood of her home. She ably supported her husband in beneficent work amongst the tenants and cottagers on the Kinmel Estate. She was a district visitor in the true sense of the term, and there was hardiy a tenant on the estate whom she had not visited at one time or other. In later years, when unable to take walking exercise, she was to be found in her pony carriage visiting the aged and infirm, ever ready with a cherry word for the sick. She personally took an interest in the welfare of the children as they grew up on the estate, many of whom are indebted to her for their start in life. Her daughters are imbued with a like spirit, and when age and infirmity prevented Lady Florentia from personally undertaking the work which was dear to her heart, they carried out her wishes. It is needless to speak of her ladyship's generosity to the pqor at Christmas a thought which her decease so near to the festive season suggests. Every year gifts of clothing were distributed to a large number of the poor in the neighbourhood, and in her gifts Lady Florentia Hughes knew neither party nor creed. This was a pronounced trait in a noble character. In educational matters Lady Florentia Hughes took much in- terest, and the schools at St. George, as well as the County School at Abergele, have lost a generous supporter and friend. From all directions, and on every hand there have come expressions of regret at the death of her ladyship, and of the deepest sympathy with Mr Hughes and his family in their sad bereavement. THE FUNERAL. The remains of Lady Florentia Hughes were brought from Cholmondeley to Abergele yesterday by train. At Pensarn the coffin was placed in a hearse, and was taken tr Kinmel Hall. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Fri- day),leaving Kinmel at twelve o'clock.

V orattl of IG-broil-t clten) QtclWUft glatt. THE PIONEER OF THE COACHING BUSSNESS. Mr Edwin Jones, of The Woodlands, Col- wyn Bay, passed away on Sunday morning at the age of G4 years. He had not been in good health for two or three years, but up till about ten weeks ago he was able to walk about quietly and to enjoy his daily drive. Since his recent serious attack, however, little hope was entertained for his recovery, and de- spite the best of attention by Dr. Price Morris, of Old Colwyn, faithful nursing, and the anxious solicitude of his wife, his intimate friends realised with sorrow that the end could not be far away. On Saturday night the deceased experienced a relapse, after a brief rally, and death took place at 10.15 a.m. on Sunday. Mr Jones is survived by a widow, but no children. Deceased was generally regarded as the pioneer of the coaching business in North Wales, and it was with no little pride that he used to hear himself referred to as the "Coaching King." He was the son of the late Mr Henry Jones, formerly of r-arth Ucha, and latterly of Pendyffryn, Llanfair-Dyffryn- Clwyd, near Ruthin, whose family have been associated—at Llysfasi, Ty'nllanfair, Iartb Ucha, and Pendyffryn farms—with that dis- trict for 300 years. His early years were naturally devoted to the agricultural ;n- dustry, but in due course he became attached to Lord Dunmore's staff as steward, and in that connection he spent many years in Lon- don. In the meantime he married Miss Da- vies, daughter of the late Mr David Davies, of Llanrhaiadr, and sister of the late Mr David Davies, of Rhiwlas, Llanrhaiadr. Subsequently-26 years next March, to be definite,he established a coaching and post- ing business at Colwyn Bay. His arrival in the town was opportune, for at that time Col- wyn Bay was just leaping into vigorous life as a health resort. Mr Edwin Jones' enter- prise undoubtedly helped the place materially in its forward march, because he soon gave to it a capital reputation as a high-class centre for coaching tours. His turn-outs quickly became popular and picturesque features of the high roads and the celebrated mountain passes of North Wales. They were patronised by most of the better class visitors from Llandudno and other older holiday centres as well as the ever-growing host flock- ing into Colwyn Bay, and in this way tney were valuable advertising media of the little town they represented. Indeed, from an advertising point of view, Mr Edwin Jones' coaches formed one of the most effective factors in the development of Colwyn oay, and the genial proprietor, who conducted in person the loop tour runs, never failed to pro- claim to his customers the advantages and superiority of the Denbighshire resort over all others near and far. Happily, he was substantially requited for his efforts, for in sixteen years he was able to retire from what was a hard life, though one which he thoroughly enjoyed. As Colwyn Bay pros- pered so did he. His business extended year by year, and when it was taken over ten years ago by Messrs J. Fred Francis and Sons it was, as it is now, perhaps the premier coaching and posting concern in Northern Cambria. Much of the success which attended the business is to be attributed to the personal character of its founder. Bluff, absolutely strightforward and generous to a degree, Mr Jones won the full respect of his patrons, many of whom year by year as religiously sought his coaches as they sought apartments in their favourite resort. There was a good deal in the manner no less than the physique of the man which commanded confidence, and that confidence was never betrayed. On one occasion, afteT he had given up business, he was prevailed upon to contest a bye-election, and, considering the circum- stances, he put up a very stiff fight. The late Mr John Roberts, Fern Bank, resigned his seat on the Council as a protest against his colleagues' action in appointing a road foreman who could not speak Welsh, and Mr Jones challenged his return to office, with the result that the veteran councillor was all but unseated. Apart from that instance, Mr Jones never sought public office. Nevertheless for reasons already referred to he was at one time probably more widely known than any public man in the district. "Alarch Glan Dyfi" once composed a lum- ber of verses, the last, which is append 2d because it describes aptly the character of the man:- Er cynhwrf prysurdeb Eisteddai sirxoldeb Yn bur ar ei wyneb Digwmwl, bob dydd > Clodforir gan ddynion Onestrwydd ei galon; A'r Cymro twymgalon, Tra Gwyddfa yn Arfon, Anfarwol a fydd!

NORTH WALES WEDNES- DAY LEAGUE. COLWYN BAY v. CONWAY. THE JACKDAWS TROUNCED. There was a fairly good gate at Colwyn Bay yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, when Conway were the visitors in a League fixture. The teams turned out as follow:— COLWYN BAY: Glutton; W. Jones, DonaM Gibbons; J. Clarke, Goldswrorthy, R. Jones; R. 0. Jones, E. D. Duviee, ltice. iiugh Hughes, and Owens. CONWAY: Barflier; Sam Pritchard, W.O. Hughes; Stanly Broad, R. Jones, Gwilym Huigihes; J. Roberts, S. Rogeraon, Hugh Hughes, 0. T. Jones, C. Windsor. Referee, Mr Griffiths, Glan Conway. Tho Bayitos at once assumed the offensive, but Satin Pritchard effected a neat clearance Even play followed, but tut length, Owens, the home outside left, centred neatly for Ilughie Hughes to run the ball into the net. A few minuter later, the stpe player added a second, convert- ing with his head a well-placed/ corner kick from R. O. Jones. Just before the intervaJ, Gold!wŒ.thy ran through all opposition and parted at the right moment to Hughie Hughes, who performed the "hat trick" amidst the ap- plause of the home supporters. Hali-time. Col- wyn Bay 3, Conway ml. Resuming', the Oonway men were more pro- minent, and after a pretty movement by their loft wing, Windsor go,t in a centre, and Roger- son netted. The visitors' succ-ess was, however, only a temporary one, for at the other end Bartlier completely misjudged a high shot from R. Jones, the home left half-back, which gave the Baylies t'heir fourth point. Yet again they attacked, and the Conway centre-half had the mnstfortunio to put tihe ball into his own net. Before the wfhietle sounded, two more g'OaIs were doo to the Coiwyn Bay total—one by Goldsworthy, who completed a brilliant indivi- dual effort with a lighitning shot, which gave the Conway custodian no chance, and the last, after a scramble in front of the Conway citadel. Final: Cohvyn Bay 7, Conway 1.
