THE HOUSE. The master reported that there were 25 inmates in the Workhouse last week as compared with 26 for the corresponding week last year. During the fortnight 40 vagrants bad been relieved—an excess of 14 on the number last year.—The Master further called attention to the dampness of some of the walls of the house, in wet weather, also to the state of several chimney stacks and door steps.—It was argued that under the present thermal condition of weather it would be useless to try to cement the ■walls and that this class of work should be done at the proper season. The several matters were delegated to the consideration of the Building Committee.—Messrs L. J. Davies and J. LI Jones reported that they bad visited the House and found -everything very satisfactory reflecting great credit UDOn the Master and Matron. .1.- RELIEF CASES. Among the cases discussed was one in which a -widow had been warned that relief would not be continued if the children, who were able to go to service, still depended upon her. The widow now appeared with a son of about 15 years of age, who had. she stated, left his situation on Friday last. Questioned as to the cause of leaving, the lad said he had been chastised. Asked why, he replied, far nothing." The Guardians were not inclined to believe the story. In reply to an enquiry as to the previous situation, the lad said he had been there a week, whereas one of the guardians well acquainted with the case, assured them that he had only been there a day.-The Chairman administered him a severe censure for telling the guardians so bare-faced a lie, and they had no doubt that the other story was a pure fabrication. It was resolved that he should remain in the workhouse until the next meeting at any Tate, and the mother was cautioned not to receive him home. A daughter of hers, aged 17. who had also left service, positively refused to appear before the guardians, and it was resolved that the matter be further considered at the next meeting. PENLLYN RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting was held on Saturday last there when there were present, lklr. L. J. Davies (chairman), Mr. R. Thomas (vice-chairman) Mrs. Price, Messrs. Wm, Richards, Robert Jones, J- LI. Jones, John Roberts, Robert Hughes, J. J. Edwards. E. M. Roberts, Evan pones, J. R. Jones (Clerk), T. R. Dakin (Assistant Clerk). FINANCE. The balance in the Treasurer's hand was reported lo be L187 9s 3d. The Clerk reported that since the last meeting, Wm. Griffiths, Esq., the District Auditor, had audited the accounts, and found all correct. The auditor had mentioned that the sur- veyo should enter iuto the bond, and it was resolved that a bond for -9100 be given. BALA AND FESTINIOG RAILWAY-DIVERTED ROADS With reference to the letter received from the G.W.R. Co. in this matter in which it was stated that the repair of certain diverted portions of roads would henceforth devolve upon the Council. The Clerk expressed the opinion that if these were sub- tititutecl roads., the Council was liable to maintain them. TYNTBUYN AND TIDDTKYKONBN ROAD. The letter from the Llanuwchlyn Parish Council anent this road was adjourned for further con- sideration. THE EMPLOYEES AND THEIR WAGES. In pursuance of notice, the chairman proposed that the workmen's wages be paid fortnightly. In support of this Mr. Davies said it was the custom on large estates, and with people employing a large number of men to pay their workmen fortnightly. He thought this would be better for the men them- selves. It might be contended that if required the men could have a sub." This arrangement, however, made some men appear poorer than others. Mr. Davies then mentioned a case, where by receiv- ing money at long intervals the recipients got into debt, but after a new arrangement of fortnightly payment had been resolved to they were again able to keep above board. Mr. R. Hughes made similar remarks and added that for four times in each year the months consisted of five weeks. This was assuredly a great hardship to the men. It was resolved upon the motion of Mr. L. J. Davies, seconded by Mr. R. Hughes. that the men's wages be paid fortnightiy. and that the surveyor make the necessary arrangements for that purpose. TYDU TO TALYBGNT ROAD. A letter was read from the Llanvcil Parish Council enclosing Memorial received from certain ratepayers, calling attention to the desirability of repairing this road. Mr. E. M. Roberts said the application was a reasonable one. The road re- PI 10 ferred to was an old highway, a previous applica- tion had he said been made to a similar effect, but it was not entertained by the Council. It was resolved upon the motion of Mr. Evan Jones, seconded bv Mr. J. Ll. Jones. That the chairman and Mr. Robert Jones, inspect the road and report thereon. LLANDDERFEL WATER SUPPLY AGAIN UPON THE TAPIS. A letter was read from the Llandderfel Parish Council, stating that they had transferred the matter altogether to the District Council. Mr. William Richards thought the procuring of a water supply devolved on the District Council, if it was really required. They ought to ascertain what the landowners were prepared to do, and the way they could be released from the responsibility was by proving that they had a proper supply. He had -seen one owner, and had been assured by him that there was no scarcity of water. Proper measures had not been taken to preserve one well which would have supplied the houses at Pensingrug with "water. Mr. Richards reiterated that the Council should ascertain what the owners were disposed to do. The Chairman remarked that at the last meet- ing this Council asked the Parish Council to do this. Mr. Evan Jones observed that they must get proof that the present supply was faulty in quality and quantity. In reply to a question, Mr. Richards was informed that if a land owner were to derive a proper supply for his houses by means of a pump, he would not be bound to contribute towards the cost of procurieg a general water supply.—Mr. Evan Jones enquired whether there was any truth in the statement made to him that the tenants would not conseet to pay a rate.—Mr. R. Thomas replied he did not know.—The Clerk: The first; step to be taken i to obtain a report from the surveyor as to the Louses in need of a supply.-Mr. Richards proposed a resolution to that effeèt.-Mr Evan Jor-es: We have had a report several times: that water is watlted. --M rs. Price: Is it not necessary that we rfiould have a proper report. One man says one thing, and another says another thing.—Mr. Evan Jones: We should have an exhaustive report.—The Chairman thought they .should get a report from the Medical Officer of Health on the quality of the water.—Mr. Evan Jones observed that if 'the Council had a report stating wheuo every bouae derived its present supply, it would greatly help them.—Mr. R. Thomas questioned what the surveyor could report more than the COTDrnitt-ee tiid seen themselves. There was no supply there beyond a public pump. —Mr. Evan J&nes: We want to know several things. We watt to know whether we could have another pump there.—Mr. Thomas: That was shown as well.—Mr. Evan Jones: Very vague.— Mr. Thomas Oh, no.—Mr. Evan Jones I brought on the matter of ,-a, pump, but the idea was pooh- poohed in the heat for getting a supply from Maesyclavad.—Mr. R. Thomas: KG. we were quite Mz- prepared to Esten to anything.—Mr. Evan Jones contende.i. it was not so.-Alr. J. VI. Jones: I beg to second the ;iiotioli,The Chairman remarked that the Couucil had to consider the ,question de novo." 7'" fy had asked the Parish Council to elicit the information as to what the lwi(-Iowners were prepared to do, and the only reply t/iey had received was to throw the whole matter en the District Council.—The resolution, proposed and seconded, asking the Surveyor to visit the place, and snbir.it, a report of the houses in need of a supply, was subsequently passed. CEFN WATER SUPPLY. Mr. Evan Jones enquired what progress had been made in this matter, and was informed by the Sur- veyor and Mr. Robert Jones that the work would be completed shortly. The difficulty experienced was to get men to do the work. APPLICATIONS. A letter was read from Rev. Bevan Jones, Llan- gower, asking permission to cut open the road near his house for the laying of a water-pipe.—It was resolved that the application be granted, subject to the road being properly made up on completion.- Mr. Evan Jones applied for leave on behalf of a company, to lay a. tramway across the road at Arenig, for the transport of stones from a quarry there. After some discussion it was resolved, upon the motion of Mr. R. Thomas, that the consider- ation of the matter be deferred, and that the application be made formally by the company themselves. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that the following roads had been repaired: Coedybedo, Tynewydd, Llan- dderfel, Penantlliw, Cefnllwynbugail, Pentre,Celyn and Cingefail. In company with Messrs. W. Rich- ards and Robt. Davies he had inspected Pandy, Llwynislyn bridge. The handrails, &c., had become very dilapidated so that it would mean consider- able expense to properly repair it, and the com- mittee decided rather than decide anything definite with regard to it, as they had been authorized to do, to submit a report to the Council. Mr. Wm. Richards confirmed the report, and sug- gested as Mr. Price had on several occasions generously assisted in giving wood towards repair- ing conveniences of this kind, that an application be made to him through Mr. Watkins for such assistance in this case. It was resolved that an application be made to Mr. Price to that effect, The Surveyor further reported that Simon Edwards, Penrhos had been engaged in the room of Hugh Davies who had left their service. SANITATION, The Medical Officer of Health and Inspector of Nuisances submitted the welcome intelligence that scarlet fever was fast disappearing from the district.
Merioneth Congregational Association.
Merioneth Congregational Association. The annual Association of the Independent Churches of Merioneth was held at Llanuwchllyn last week. All the meetings were well attended. There was present a large and representative gathering of ministers and lay delegates from all parts of the county. The Gyaianfa was held on Wednesday and Thursday. The Rev. John II ughes, Tanygrisiall, the chairman of the Merionethshire Congregational Union for the year, presided at the Conterence.—The Chairman, in his address at the conclusion of his term of office, reviewed the work of the Union for the year, and gave interesting reminiscences of the Cymanfaheld at Llanuwchllyn in 1888. He rejoiced that con- siderable progress had been made by the denomin- ation in the county during the last eleven years.— The Rev. John Owen, Trawsfynydd, and Mr. Edw. Jones, Festiniog, were elected to represent the Union at the annual meeting of the North Wales Temperance Association to be held at Festiniog. A number of ministers and deacons were appoiiitecl, to visit the churches on behalf of the Home Mis- sionary Society and the London Missionary Society. The Rev. R. Talfor Phillips, on behalf of the Bethel Church, Llan Festiniog, invited the Union to hold next year's Cymanfa in connection with that church. The invitation was accepted.- The Rev. John Pritchard, Cynwvd, the secretary, presented the statistics of the Union for the year, compiled from the returns of the churches. The totals were as follow:—Communicants 5482, Sunday scholars 6519, Sunday school teachers 786, ministers 33, local preachers 17, chapels and preaching stations 72, churches 59, church collections P,6441 8s. 8 £ d., chapel debts paid during the year Z1046 16s. 2 £ d., amount of debt remaining upon the chapels P,10,565 4s.

Foulkes Jones, Corwen; secretary, the Rev. John Pritchard, Cynwyd.—The Secretary presented the report of the Executive of the Home Missionary Society, which was considered very encouraging. It was decided to print the same and circulate it Among the members of the churches.—The following grants to churches were voted for next year Harlech, E12; Arthog, £ 5; Llanfihangel, £ 2.— The following resolution was unanimously passed That this Assembly expresses its admiration of the action of our fellow-countrymen in Patagonia in successfully refusing to obey the commands of the Government of that country in reference to the holding of elections and military drilling, etc., on the Lord's Day, and prays that the time may soon come when it will not be necessary for any Govern- ment to drill men for war.ilfr. W. Foulkes Jones, Corwen, presented a report upon the efforts made in Merionethshire in connection with the Forward movement for raising the sum of P,20,000 to start new causes and assist the weaker churches of the denomination. Several handsome contributions had already been promised, and the movement was being taken up with enthusiasm by the churches.— The Secretary introduced Mr. Robert Griffiths, of Corwen, a student of the Bala-Bangor College, who was present, and who was going out to labour as a missionary in Madagascar under the auspices of the London Missionary Society. Mr. Griffith delivered a missionary address. It was stated that his ordination would take place at Corwen on the following Wednesday.—It was unanimously decided to send a telegraphic message of congratulation to the Peace Conference at the Hague expressing a strong desire that international peace may soon be brought about.—A resolution was unanimously passed expressing the great loss which Merioneth- shire and the country at large had sustained through the death of the late Mr. Thomas E. Ellis, placing on record the valuable services which he had rendered in many directions, and deeply sympathising with the relatives in their bereave- ment. A vote of condolence was passed with the relatives of the late Rev. W. Perkins, of Pennal. The public services were held in a field close to the village, where a platform had been erected. The congregations were very large. The officiating ministers were the Revs. David Williams, Rhydy- γ- bont, H. Elvct Lewis, London, D. Stanley Jones, Carnarvon James Charles, Denbigh, and the ministers of the county.

LLANARTH.
LLANARTH. STEPPING ONWARD.—Our numerous readers will be glad to learn that Mr. G. Cardog Thomas, of this place, has been appointed Honorary Secretary of the Welsh National Society in the city of Manchester.
WORLD IN A WEEK.
WORLD IN A WEEK. The whole western shore of the White Sea is stated to be packed with ice, and for the last fort- night a very low temperature has prevailed over Northern Russia. The famine in East Africa, which was notified to the Church Missionary Society by their mission- aries at Mombasa, is now described as terrible in the extreme. Many of the natives have succumbed to starvation. Both the Universities Mission and the Church Missionary Society are doing all they can to relieve the suffering's, and more money for the purchase of food is asked for. One of the societies named has decided to appeal to the Government for help. The French Government have arranged with Signor Marconi for a new series of experiments between ship and shore, to be commenced at once. The Government transport Vienne is to be used for the purpose. The experiments will take place- between the ship, under various speeds and conr ditions, and the English and French shores. Signod Marconi left the South Foreland yesterday, an- proceeded to the French station at Boulogne. A serious conflict has occurred on the Serbo Turkish frontier, numerous Albanian bands, to- gether with some two thousand regular Turkish troops, making an attack on the Jablonitza. The conflict lasted the whole day. The assailants over- powered the frontier guard and blockaded three villages. Mr. William Parry, the Llanrwst relieving officer, died suddenly from syncope, brought about by the extreme heat. An old man named Ishmael Wil- liams, aged 13, has died suddenly from sunstroke. The heat during the last few days has been very oppressive. In the House of Commons Mr. Chamberlain, in reply to Mr. Bryn Roberts, said he had seen a report from Capetown, as to his having conferred with Mr. Cecil Rhodes on Transvaal affairs. He had authorised Sir Alfred Milner to state that he had no communication with Mr. Rhodes on Trans- vaal affairs since 1896. He took the opportunity of warning the House against believing, without con- firmation, statements which were invented and circulated at a time like the present for obvious reasons. He also denied that he had any intention of going abroad. The Colonial Secretary made a further statement as to the new liquor duties in West Africa. At a meeting of representatives of the National Association of Master Builders and of the Plas- terers' Union, held at the Salisbury Hotel, the working rules were finally adopted, The masters promised to withdraw the lock-out order, and work will be resumed on Monday. President Kruger objects to the proposed Boer gathering at Paardekraal. Several meetings of t' Irl burghers have passed resolutions against a further extension of the franchise than his Honor has proposed. Sir Alfred Milner's references in his despatch of May 4th to disaffection at the Cape have caused a sensation among the Dutch of the Colony. The question of weighing tea in packets was dealt with at the Worship-street Police-court, Lipton, Limited, were summoned for selling tea to which a false trade description as to the weight was supplied, contrary to Section 2 of the Mer- chandise Marks Act, 1887. The magistrate im posed a fine of £ 10 and 15 guineas costs The Porte officially declares that the reports re- garding the situation on the Servian frontier have been greatly exaggerated. The Ottoman and Servian Governments have decided to despatch a Commission into the districts in question to dis- cover and punish the guilty parties. A Belgrade telegram states that the disorders on the frontier were renewed with great violence on Thursday. Telegrams from China state that the Rev. H. S. Phillips, Mrs. Phillips, a lady friend, and a number of native converts have been killed by rioters in the outbreak at Kein.ning. Mrs. Mary Morgan, of 4, Briton Ferry-road, Melincrythan, fell dead on Friday evening. At the inquest on Saturday Dr. Protheroe Thomas said that death was due to syncope, caused by the heat, and a verdict was returned accordingly. STORMS IN AMERICA Unusually severe storms occurred on Wednesday in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, accom- panied by strange electrical phenomena. The rainfall varied from two to five inches. Many towns have been flooded and damaged. At Herman the storm appears to have been worse, culminating in a cyclone. Not a building in the town escaped destruction or damage, and many of the inhabitants were injured. FUTURE OF THE SOUDAN. The report of Sir W. E. Garstin on the Soudan is now published. After a masterly description of the present state of the reconquered provinces and a discussion on their future possibilities, Sir W. E. Garstin concludes by saying that although the immediate future of the Soudan was not very brilliant, yet there was reason to believe that in course of time these provinces would pay the cost of administration. ANOTHER BATTLE. General Otis cabled from Manilla last Tuesday as follows ;General Lawton's troops, under Gene- rals Wheaton and Ovenshine, who occupy the country south to Bacoor, have scouted westward and some distance southward, on the line of the Zapote river and the Bacoor road. The enemy ap- pears to have retired on Imus, abandoning the bay and country. The fighting last week was severe, our loss being ten killed and forty wounded, the majority of the casualties being at the crossing of the Zapote river. The enemy was driven from a heavy and well-constructed entrenchment, to which they held tenaciously. Their loss amounted to several hundreds, fifty of whom were buried this morning. They will not probably make any deter- mined future stand in the southern provinces. Captain Barker reported that there were no casual- ties among the Navy in its co-operation with General Lawton, although the Monadnock and Helena landed a force to assist in maintaining a position until reinforced by the army. THE TRANSVAAL. The Raad resolved to accept President Kruger's franchise proposals, and to refer them to the people before they are put into operation. Mr. Kruger, in thanking the Raad for its action, said that in these troublous times he did not know what was going to happen. The other side had not conceded one tittle, and he could not give more. God had always stood by them. He did not want war, but he would not give away more. Although their independence had once been taken away God had restored it. THE DROUGHT IN RUSSIA. Advices from Sebastopol report that the con- tinuances of the drought causes great discourage- ment among the population, and that prayers for rain are being offered up by the clergy in the public streets. The bad harvest foreseen in south- western Russia is also expected in other provinces, where the winter wheat in certain districts is in very bad condition, while the spring wheat is com- pletely lost. Roots and grass are also doing badly and cattle can scarcely find grass in the pastures that have been dried up by the drought. In the province of Kieff, where beet root is the principal agricultural product, almost all the land assigned to the culture has greatly suffered, while in many cases the crop is ruined. ARTIFICIAL COAL. A workman named Montag, living at Mannheim, in Baden, has succeeded in manufacturing artificial coal, earth and several mineral residual substances being the components. Trials with small and large quantities of the new fuel made under expert supervision have succeeded admirably. The heat produced was very great, while the ashes remaining per kilogramme (22051b.) of burned fuel weighed only 9cwt. A company has been formed tor the exploitation of the striking discovery, and is at present negotiating fcr the purchase of an exten- sive tract of land in the suburbs of Mannheim for the erection of manufacturing works. TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER. The Caledonia mine at Cape Breton has been the scene of a frightful explosion, accompanied by the loss of eleven lives. The disaster was one of the saddest in the annals of the coal mines of Nova Scotia, and the scenes about the mine after the whistle had announced the catastrophe were heartrending. It was feared at first that thirty men had been killed, but, as stated above, the deathroll is only eleven, the other miners in the pit escaping by way of the slope. Brave men quailed before the terrible rush of gas, which forced them back to the pit's mouth, but they brought with them a number of dead bodies piled on cars. After recovering from the effects of the gas the rescuing party again returned and commenced the battle with the flames, More bodies were brought up, and by this time hundreds of people had reached the scene. A hundred horses which were in the mine at the time of the explosion were kil.ed. DROWNED WHILE BATHING. A miner named Matthew Davidson, was drowned at South Shields on Sunday. Dora Sutherland, a little girl girl, was drowned in the same place, Charles Hayson, aged sixteen, an assistant gardner, was drowned in Portsmouth Harbour. A visitor at Southend, aged about thirty-five, name unknown, through bathing immediately after eating a hearty meal, was drowned on Sun- day afternoon. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. The Dean of Bristol preached the sermon in the English Church on Sunday, and in the course of it said that no one expected much from the Confer- ence. The statement meets with an emphatic repudiation by the delegates of that body and by the Emperor of Russia, who both expect a great deal from the Conference, and will not be disap- pointed. The only failure of the Conference, if it may be so called, was a foregone conclusion, namely, the interdiction on the improvement of armaments. This was inevitable, owing to the need of unanimity; but in all the other departments of the Conference unexpectedly great success has been achieved. The applica- tion of the Geneva rules to naval warfare, which has been unanimously accepted, will probably be signed as was the Geneva Convention, by all the Governments. The Brussels rules of war, al- though not embodied in the Convention, are never- theless making great progress towards a satisfac- tory settlement, resulting in a code which will be adopted by each Power on the declaration of war. The arbitration proposal, the most important of all, is certain to be adopted with or without unan- imity. The story in the English papers that the Arbitration Committee broke up on Friday because of new instructions from Germany is not true. Dr, Zorn is quite enthusiastic in favour of the arbitra- tion scheme, and will do his utmost to secure the assent of the German Government to the proposals, The objection of the German Emperor that Divine Right precludes his accepting the decision of the arbitrators is absurd, for the arbitrators are merely experts interpreting contracts under an obligatory clause. Germany, like all other Powers, enters into conventions on certain subjects. There is nothing derogatory to the Divine Right in ac- cepting the verdict of an impartial tribunal.

MACHYNLLETH SEWERAGE.
MACHYNLLETH SEWERAGE. SIR,-I should like to call attention to the above subject, which is one that needs immediate attention. After a great many years of waiting, we can now boast of a water supply second to none, but the unfortunate part is that we have no effectual means of disposing of the town sewage. We have certainly the old-fashioned way of letting the sewage go into open drains just outside the town, where the heat of the sun has full effect upon it with the usual result. Our Urban Council have had the matter under consideration and submitted a scheme, only the Local Government Board officials refused to give it their sanction, and the matter is in abeyance. The situation of the town is such that will give no end of trouble, owing to there being but very little head, and in some parts of the town the cellars are so low that it will practically be impossible to drain them. These difficulties will not disappear no matter how long the question will be delayed, and it is high time the Council took the matter up in earnest. The Public Library is wanted, so also are the Public Baths; but what is most urgently wanted is a scheme of sewage disposal.-I am, yours &c., OPERAE.

The proceedings of the Lancashire and Cheshire Association of Baptist Churches were concluded at Blackburn on Monday. After an animated debate a resolution was passed which expressed the opinion that while recognising that the Nonconformist Marriage Act was a real effort towards settling in- equality, the Association regretted that it could not recommend its adoption. Resolutions were also passed hailing with satisfaction the Peace Confer- ence at the Hague, and rejoicing at the success which had attended the effort to defeat the attempt to introduce seven-day newspapers. An urgent appeal was made by the Rev. C. Williams, of Ac- crington, on behalf of the Baptist Twentieth Century Fund, and a resolution commending it to the support of the denomination was adopted.
BONT GOCH.
BONT GOCH. LECTURE.—On Saturday evening, June 17th, the Rev. J. Humphreys, Aberystwyth, delivered an able and most interesting lecture at the Wesleyan Chapel of the above place, on One of the prophets of the Wild West." A good gathering of the mountaineers of the district assembled, and the lecture, which lasted over an hour and a half, was attentively listened to and thoroughly appreciated by the audience. The chair was occupied by Mr. Evan Williams, Cynnullmawr.
PENLLWYN.
PENLLWYN. An uncalled for complaint has been made in your issue of last week as regards the behaviour of Sunday visitors to this picturesque little village. With the exception of a Sunday or two when the militia are up for training there is nothing un- pleasant taking place that could possibly disturb the peace of the most thin-skinned grumbler. People who have the privilege of breathing pure country air every day of the week should not grudge the artisan of the town a drive with his wife and family on the only day he is off duty. The Lord of the Sabbath said that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." There are many things worse even than drinking a glass of beer on the Sabbath day. If a requisi- tion is made to the Police Authorities to watch the visitors, surely someone ought to call the attention of another authority to the condition of dwellings. S. TREVETHAN.
BERTH, Tregaron.
BERTH, Tregaron. TEA AND CONCERT.—On Friday, June 16th, the members of Berth Chapel Sunday-school and others assembled in the afternoon to partake of currant cake and tea, beautifully arranged in a tent erected for the occasion, and gratitiously given by the following ladies, who attended to the the tables, viz.: Miss Jones, Tyhen, Miss Jones, Broncapel, Mrs. Jones, Rhydygelly, Mrs. Jones, Tyncae, Mrs, Jones, Maesglas, Miss Davies. Tynreithyn shop, Miss Rees, Tynbwlch, and Mrs. Richards, Constant. The tea was given as a small recognition of the services rendered to the children during the last two years by Mr. John Williams, junior, Pontar- gamddwr, and Mrs. Hughes, Castell. The day was beautifully fine; nature seemed at its best. All work was deserted-the farmer bad given his horses rest, and his sons and daughters and servants an afternoon to enjoy themselves; the labourer had thrown down his pick and shovel; the black- smith ceased swinging his mighty arm," and the ringing sound of his anvil was dumb; the shop- keeper left his counter; and the miller his mill; all had united, like one man, to give honour to whom honour was due. After pleasing all the ladies by partaking of their cake and tasting their tea, all retired to the chapel to spend a pleasant evening. A lengthy programme was gone through, and very appropriate addresses were given by Messrs. Tom Phillips, Henry J. Phillips (poetical), Morgan Jones, David Rowlands, W. D.

MELINDWR, Goginan. H. M. Inspector's Report for the year ended Feb ruary 28, 1899, has come to hand, and reads as follows This School has been steadily taught during the year, and satisfactory improvement was found to have been made between the first and second visits of inspection. Much hesitation has, however, been felt in recommending a grant for Geography, as the lessons in this subject given to the first, second, and third standards, though nominally object lessons, did not appear properly to come under this designation. The Needlework is good. The instructions of the Infants should improve, especially as regards object lessons," Grant as result of examination, L65 Is. 6d. Fee Grant, Z29 10s.

Diameu fod bron yr oil o'ch darllenwyr yn Gymiy, gan hyny goddefwch gynghor i roddi lie amhvg i'r hen iaith anwyl yn eich newyddiadur. Gallaf eich sicrliau y bydd hyn yn elf en o fyvyd iddo beth bynnag yw ei ddyfodol i fod. Mae y pwnc o anfon y plant i'r Ysgol yn gyson yn cael mwy o sylw yn y cylehoc-cld hyn yn ddiweddar nag y mae wedi gael er ys talm o amser. Haedda ddengwaith mwy o sylw etto. Yr aellos fod pwnc addysg elfenol yn Nghymru yn y dvddiau hyn yn cael ei wyntyllu yn fwy nag arferol ydyw y sefyllfa israddo1 y mae ynddi. Dr. Macnamara ydoedd un o'r personau gyfododd y mater pwysig hwn i sylw gyntaf ac y mae Ilawer o ysgrifenu a siarad wedi bod arno oddiar hynny. Ni ddylesid ei adael yn llonyddhyd nes ceir diwygiad. Flynyddau yn olcvfrifid Sir Aberteifi ar y blaen mewn addysg elfenol i un parth o Gymru; erbyn hyn y mae yr olaf. Arferai y diweddar brif arolygydd, Mr. Williams ddweyd fod Ceredigion ar y blaen i un o Siroedd gwledig Cymru mewn addysg elfenol. Erbyn hyn y mae yn hollol i'r gwrthwyneb. Ycliydig wythnosau yn ol darllenais erthygl amserol a galluog Mr. Bevan, Llan- artli, yn eich colofnau yn mha un y mae yn cydmaru sefyllfa addysg Ceredigion, Meir- ionydd, a Threfaldwyn; ac 0 gi esyn mor bell ar ol y mae mynychiad y plant yn yr ysgolion yn y sir hon i'r hyn ydynt yn y ddwy sir arall, ac y mae y rhai hyny ar ol canolrif mynychiad Cymru a phellach fyth oddiwrth Lloegr a'r Ysgotland. Eitliaf naturiol ydyw gofyn beth sydd yn cyfrif am y difaterwch hwn Paham y mae Ceredigion ar ol siroedd eraill, a phaham y mae Cymru gymmaint ar ol Lloegr ar Ysgotland ? Mae Ysgotland yn wlad fynyddig; ydyw yn fwy felly na Chymru— ond er hyny gofala am roddi addysg i'w phlant. Pa les cael deddf addysg orfodol os na fydd hono yn cael ei gweinyddu. Mae canoedd o blant yn nghilfachau y wlad ar trefydd yn Nghymru heddyw na wyddant nemawr ddim am bynciau efenol gwybod- aeth. Ar bwy mae y bai ? Credaf nad ydyw y bai i gyd yn yr unfan. Gorphwys llawer o hono with ddrysau y rhieni es- geulus, difater a didaro, geir yma a thraw ar hyd a lied y wlad. Ar gyfer y dosbarth hwn y ffurfiwyd y Byrddau Ysgolion, y school attendance committees, &c. Ond, a ydynt yn gwneyd eu dyledswydd at yr esgeuluswyr ? Beiddiaf ddweyd nad ydynt, ac y mae gennyf ddigon o brofion o hyny os bydd galw. Nid yw yr awdurdodau uchod yn cyflawnu eu dyledswyddau o gwbl fel y dylasent, fel y mae cywilydd dweyd am danynt. Pe buasent yn cyflawnu ei gwaith yn briodol ni fuasai sefyllfa addysg yr hyn ydyw yn Nghymru. Dylasai y ffigyrau a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar yn llyfrau gleision y Llywodraeth godi gwrid i wyneb aelodau Byrddau Ysgol a School Attend- ance Committees y Dywysogaeth. Nis gellir priodoli y drwg yn gyfangwbl i'r ddau ddosbarth uchod, oherwydd y mae yna ddosbarth arall a broffesant bethau gwell yn ddwfn, i.e., yn 14 ddwfn iawn yn y camwedd. Wel, pwy all y rhai hynny fod? Neb llai na'r ynadon heddweh Cwynir yn fawr yn eu herbyn hwy yn ddiweddar mewn gwahanol gylchoedd, am nad ydynt yn cynorthwyo awdurdodau addysg Ileol i gario allan ei "bye-laws." Mae hyn yn waeth na'r cwbl. Po uchaf y cylch y byddo y drwg mae yn gwaethygu y sefyllfa. Pan fyddo gweinyddwyr cyfiawnder yn gwyro barn, pryd hyny mae cyfiawnder ac addysg plant y tlodion ar yr heol. Dyna fel y mae y dyddiau hyn mewn rhai lleoedd fel y mae gwaethaf y modd. Gwysir rhieni o flaen yr ynadon am esgeulusdra yn anfon eu plant i'r ysgol. Teflir yr achosion allan trwy fod rhywrai yn flaenorol wedi bod yn dylanwadu ar rai o'r ynadon fyddo ar y fainc. Digalona yr awdurdodau Ileol ar ymdrechu gyru y plant i'r ysgolion trwy na chant eu cefnogi gan y fainc ynadol, a chaiff y plant lonydd i chwareu ar hyd y ffyrdd a'r caeau. Yn sicr y mae yn hen bryd galw sylw at lwfrdra a phlentyneidd-dra rhai o ynadon y wlad yn cario allan ddarpariaethau deddf addysg. Mor bell ag y mae gorfodaeth yn myned gwnant hi yn llythyren farw. Gadawaf ar hyn yna yn awr. Dichon y bydd genyf ragor eto ar y mater hwn yn fuan. Hoffwn gael meddyliau rhai o'ch dar- llenwyr ar y pwnc pwysig hwn.-CARDI.
HELYNT ABERYSTWYTH. --
HELYNT ABERYSTWYTH. Gwehvn nad yw yn "haf o liyd," hyd yn nod yn nhymor naturiol haf, mewn ambell dreflan yn Nghymru. Lie paradwysaidd a braf, debygid, ydyw Aberystwyth. Mae natur a chelfyddyd wedi ymuno a'u gilydd i drwsio a harddu Aberystwyth, ac i'w gwneud yn fangre ddymunol i ymwelwyr arianog o Loegr a pharthau ereill. Ond gwelwn fod yno gwmwl ar ael y ffurfafen y dyddiau hyn. Ymddengys i wr o'r enw John Gibson ddwyn t,Y cyhuddiad dychrynllyd yn erbyn rhyw dy yn nliref swynol Aberystwyth. Y n canlyn wele ddyfarniad o araeth Gibson yn ol fel y ceir hi yn rhai o'r papyrau:—" There was in this town (Aberystwyth) at the present time a building where little children were done to death regularly all the year round." Yn awr, gwelir fod cyhuddiad o'r fath uehod yn beth dychrynllyd, a dylid profi ei wirionedd i'r earn, neu ei dynu yn ol. Gwelwn fod cyngor trefol Aberystwyth eisoes wedi bod yn eistedd ar y mater, a gallwn feddwl fod yr Hena,dur Doughton, a rhai ereill, yn bur hallt ar Gibson. Nid wyf yn proffesu gwybod dim am fanylion y mater difrifol hwn, ond ymddengys i mi y dylai Gibson fod yn ddigon gwrol i "enwi" y ty a'i breswylwyr, neu ynte gau ei safn, a pheidio yngan gair. Tuedda peth fel hyn i niweidio cymeriad tref ffasiynol Aberystwyth, ac i gadw rhai ymwelwyr ymhell o'r lie. Am danaf fy hun, ni bum erioed yn malio darllen damcaniaethau anymarferol y gwr hwn ar dudalenau ei bapyr. Ymddengys i mi fel dyn yn ymhyfrydu synied a siarad yn wahanol i fwyafrif plant dynion. Ond ni chredais erioed fod ei hynodrwydd yn tarddu oddiar unrhyw fawredd meddyliol cynhenid yn natur y dyn.—Yr Hybarch Myfenydd Morgan, yn y Cambrian o Abertawe.
BORTH.
BORTH. THE SEASON.—We are promised a good season at Borth. Visitors are already arriving in numbers, and there seems to be a brisk demand for apart- ments. FISHING.-Prawn catching seems to be the order of the day at Borth just now. Visitors and others who have leisure find it a grand diversion, and the I tiny crustaceans are caught by the hundreds daily. I A TREAT.—A fine Schooner anchored off this place the other day and the Captain gave a cor- dial welcome to the villagers to go aboard. A number accepted the invitation, and they were well entertained by the hospitable crew. WORTHY OF EMULATION.—Mrs. Fielden, who has always taken a deep and active interest in the welfare of Borth, is now making an effort to have two more groynes constructed on the beach by voluntary contributions. The two groynes, which will be put up between the present first and second ones, are much needed, and it is to be hoped that Mrs. Fielden's appeal will meet with the re- sponse which it deserves. OUTING.—On Friday, the members of the Soar C. M. Sunday School, made their annual outing by paying a visit to the Devil's Bridge, whither they were conveyed in brakes. Many visitors availed themselves of the opportunity, and they were kindly allowed to join the party. Mr. Morris. the superintendent of the Sunday School was warmly praised for the interest and generosity he displayed on the occasion. j

Caniataodd Mr. Balfour flwydd-dal o £40 i Charles Ashton, y cvn-heddgeidwad, a'r lienor hysbys, o Ddinas Mawddwy. Llosgwyd pump ar hugain o geffylau i farwolaeth mewn adeilad ger King's Cross, Llundain, dydd Sadwrn. Tybir i'r tan gymeryd lie trwy i'r gwair boethi nes llosgi o hono ei hun. Y mae argoelion fed adfywiad ar gymeryd lie yn masnach y plum. Y mae Svmudiadau ar draed i agor gweithfeydd sydd wedi bod yn nghau am flynyddau lawer. Y mae gweithiwr o'r enw Montag yn Germany wedi dyfeisio tanwydd newydd i wneyd y tro yn lie glo. Y mae cynwysiad y sylwedd yn ddirgel- wcli, end dywedir fod clai a mwswgl mawn ynddo. Y mae ei wres deir gwaith yn gryfach nac eiddo glo cyffredin. Mae boneddwr o Ogledd Cymru, yr hwn sydd yn ystod y deng mlynedd diweddaf wedi cyfranu mil- oedd o bunoedd tuagat dalu y dyledion ar gapelau y M. C., wedi cyfranu eto, yn ystod y chwech wythnos diweddaf dros £ 8000 ar yr un dyben. Cyfrirlr ei fod wedi cyfranu yn yr oil tuagat gron- feydd yr enwad tua £ 150,000. Cafodd Cymdcithas y Cau Cynar ergyd trwm dydd Mawrth diweddaf. Mae'n debyg iddi gyhoeddi cylchlythyrau yn nglyn a masnachdy Mr. ,y Havard, draper, Seven Sisters-road, yr hwn a ddywedai eu bod yn anwireddus ac yn enllibus. Hawliai iawn oddiwrth gyfarwyddwyr y Gym- deithas, a bu raid iddynt dalu iddo y swm o £ 150. Ein cydwladwr, Mr. Llewelyn Williams, oedd yn dadlcu yn y Llys dros Mr. Harvard. Mac rhanau mawr o Russia yn dioddef o eisieu gwlaw. Dywedir fod y sychder maith yn effeithio yn dditritol ar y cnyclau, ac nid oes fawr obaitb am ddim mewn llawer talaeth, gan fod y gwreiddau wedi ei sychu i fyny yn hollol gan y sychder. Y mae y bobl bron wedi digaloni, ac y mae'r offeiriaid yn offrymu gweddiau am wlaw yn yr heolydd. Dyn gwrol os cyndyn ydyw yr hen wr Kruger Dywcd nad ydyw am roi ffordd o gwbl yn yr helynt presenol yn y Transvaal; ac y mae yn penderfynu dal ei dir. Dywed nad ydyw am rhyfel o gwbl, ar yr un pryd nid yw am roddi ffordd mwyach i'r ochr arall. Dydd Mercher diweddaf bu ystorom fawr o wlaw a chorwynt yn America yn nhalacth Nebraska ac Iowa. Bu colledion mawr trwy lifogydd mewn y tref o'r enw Herman. Dinystriwyd bron bob ty yn y dref a chlwyfwyd amryw o'r drigolion. Y mae trigolion y Transvaal yn ffyddlon iawn i Kruger. Mewn cyfarfod mawr yr wythnos ddi- weddaf penderfynasant yn unfrydol i gadarnhau telerau ei Etliolfraint. Y maent yn penderfynu dal eu tir, ac nid ydynt yn bwriadu rhoddi un gwell telerau i'r achwynwyr. Cafodd Cwmni y Meistri Lipton eu dirwyo yr wythnos ddiweddaf yn y swm o ddeg punt a .phymtheg gini o gostau am iddynt bwyso papyr gyda'r te, ac felly yn gwneud pwysi y te yn llai nag a ddylasai fod. Ar hyn o bryd mae newyn mawr mewn rhan ddwyreiniol o Africa. Mae miloedd o bobl yn dioddef o eisieu, ac maent yn marw mor ami fel nas gellir eu claddu. Dywedir fod y dynion mor wan o eisieu bwyd fel nas gallent ddiangc rhag bwystfilod rheibus, ac mae ugainiau wedi eu difetha ganddynt. Bu brwydr arall rhwng yr Americaniaid a'r Filipinos yr wythnos diweddaf; vedi ymdrech galed croesodd milwyr America afon, ac yna bu brwydyr boeth, pryd y lladdwyd 80 o'r Ameri- caniaid, a dros 100 o'r Filpinos. Ar yr ugeinfed dydd o'r mis diweddaf bu plant SirFeirionydd yn cyfarfod eu gilydd yn Chicago ac yn cael amser da, dan lywyddiaetb y Parch. Griffith Griffiths, Glen Ellen, ac arweiniad R.

Cyfarfu Cyngor Cynghrair Mwnwyr Deheudir Cymru ddydd Gwener i ystyried nifer o gwynion oddiwrth eu haelodau oherwydd fod Cymdeithas Perclienogion wedi dwyn i mewn lyfr newydd, yn yr bwn y gofynir i bob ymgeisydd am waith roddi llawn fanylion am ei gymeriad blaenorol, ac arwvddo cytundeb ei fod i gael ei ddiswyddo pe byddai y manylion yn anghywir. Pasiwyd yn unfrydol i ofyn i'r perclienogion gyfarfod y cyngbor mewn cynadledd ar y pwnc, Bu agos iddi fyned yn streic ddwy flynedd yn ol oherwydd cynygiad cyffelyb. EISTEDDFOD CAERDYDD. Y mae Eisteddfod Caerdydd yn sicr o droi allan. mewn llawer o ystyron, yn un o'r rhai mwyaf llwydiianus ac ardderchog a gynaliwyd erioed, a bydd ei heffeithiau i'w ganfod, nid yn unig ar ein llenyddiaeth a'n cerddoriaeth, and ar farn gwledydd a chenedloedd eraill am danom a'u hymddygiad atom. Y mae y testynau yn mhob adran yn newydd, ac fe fydd ymdrech galed am y gwahanol wobrwyon a phwy sydd i gael y lie uchaf fel bardd a lienor a cherddor, a pha gorau sydd i gario y llawryf am y flwyddyn hon. Y mae cvstadleuaeth ardderchog yn sicr o fod yn mhob un o'r rhai cor- awl; ac er nad oes yr un o'r hen gorau enwog, megys Merthyr, Dowlais, Buallt, Rhymni, Llanelli, &c.. yn y rliedegfa, y mae pump eraill wedi cymeryd eu lie—Pontypridd, Caerdydd, Casnewydd, Ponty- pwl, a Chierfvrddin-a bydd y buddugoliaethus yn Nghaerdydd yn gymaint, cs nid mwy, ei glod a'r un o'r hen rhai. o herwydd mae y darnau yn newydd ac yn gofyn mwy o allu i'w meistroli na'r cydganau a rocldir yn gyffredin mewn Eisteddfodau Cenedlaethol. Hen ryfelwyr ac arwyr Eistedd- fodau yw y naw Cor Meibion sydd y.n mynd irym- ddangos ar y llwyfan. Y mae y dwymyn gystad- leuol, fe ymddengys, wedi cvmeryd gafael yn y corau plant fel y dwymyn goch ac yn ol pob argoelion, fe fydd holl blant Morganwg a Mynwy yn bresenol yn yr Eisteddfod, oblegid y mae cym- aint ag ugain 0 gorau yn bwriadu cystadlu. Ac nid yn unig yn nglyn a chanu y bydd Eisteddfod Caerdydd yn bynoc1 ac ar ei phen ei hun, ond fe fydd mwy o urddas nac erioed yn cael ei roddi ar scremoni y cadeirio a r coroni, a holl weithred- iadau'r Orsedd yn gyffredinol. Y mae gwaith pob dydd wedi ei drefnu yn y fath fodd fel ag y bydd pob diwrnod yn Eisteddfod gyflawn bron ynddo ei hun; ac nid oes dim wedi ei arbed er rhoddi ton uchel i'r holl weithrediadau a gwneud holl am- gylcoedd y miloedd gwrandawyr yn gysurus a diogel.
