Lewis, Vaenor Lower; with Hugh Hughes (clerk), E. Lleweilin (assistant clerk), and W. Jones (master). The Vacant Post. The following letter was read horn Dr. Edwards, secretary of the Lifirniai-y: I am directed by the Board of Management to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of thanks from the Board of Guardians, and to forward them a copy of a resolution passed by them at their monthly meeting held at the Aberystwyth Inhrmary on Thursday, March 1st, 1006 Hesolved that we con- tinue to permit and to desire our Medical Officer to attend cases of emergency at the Union Workhouse upon the request of the Master, and that this permission remain in force until the next monthly meeting to be held on Thursday. April 5th., 1906.-The following letter was also read: Edlestoli House, Queen's-road, March 1st, 190(5. Dear sir, As it appears there is no medical officer appointed to the Aberystwyth Work- house, I beg to inform you that I am willing to act as temporary medical officer to the Workhouse on the terms granted to Dr. Price Thomas, pending the fixing of a salary for the permanent appointment.—Yours faithfully, G. R. E. Bonsall." Captain Fossett Roberts proposed that Dr. Bonsall's letter be referred to the committee which had charge of the temporary appointmnt.— Mr. Edwin Morris: The committee have made arrangements for the next month.—The Chairman: Does anyone second the proposi- tion.—Mr. R. J. Jones: I second that. I think it will bring us out of the difficulty.- The proposition was then carried. Vagrants. The Assistant Clerk reported that the number of vagrants relieved during the past fortnight at the common lodging house was 30. Since the previous meeting a batch of vagrants came in on Sunday from Machyn- lleth. He had written to the Machynlleth and Aberayron Unions pointing out they did not observe the resolution passed some time ago as to the detention of tramps on Sun- days, but had received no reply.—The Master reported that the number in the House was 48, as compared with 47 in the corresponding period of last year. During the fortnight 6(5 vagrants were relieved at the House.—The Chairman referred to the several vagrants who had been committed to prison for refusing to perform their allotted task at the Workhouse, and asked what was the reason for it.—Mr. W. Thomas: I suppose they are following the example of the doctors. They go on strike.—The Clerk said that in the case of five men who came from Machynlleth there was no doubt that they conspired together not to perform the task at all. Some of them would not at- tempt the work. Others did a little, and then refused to pass the stone through the grid."—Mr. W. Thomas: They are copying the other profession.—Mr. 11. J. Jones: No, there is a vital difference between the two. You have not acted fairly towards the doctor, or lie would be here to-day.—The Chairman: Order, order.—Mr. B. E. Morgan said the grating was now the same as the old grating, and, therefore, the vagrants could not complain on that account.—The Clerk: Most of these men did not take ex- ception to the size of the grid," but said they did not know how to break stone.— The Rev. N. Thomas: They did not like work. (Laughter.)—The Clerk: Yes. Asylum Account. The Clerk was authorised to draw a cheque for 1:322 4s. Id. in settlement of the asylum account for the past quarter. Vaccination. The Board was asked by the Camberwell (St. Giles) Union to support a re- solution in favour of the promotion of legislation for the repeal of compulsory vac- cination.—Mr. R. J. Jones: They ought to be ashamed of themselves.—Mr. W. Thomas: I propose the letter lie on the table.- Carried. Education Precept. The Assistant Clerk referred to the County Council precept for special expenses under the Elementary Education Act. The first precept was for JE987, but this had been amended, and the precept now was C602 lis. 4d. He had seen the County Education Committee's books, and was satisfied the amount was now correct. He suggested that precepts be made on the overseers that day for the respective amounts, and that they be met in part, or wholly where possible, from balances that may be in hand at the end of the half-year, in order to avoid a special rate.—Mr. Edwin Morris: What is the amount due from the parish of Aberystwyth? —Assistant Clerk: £ 326 10s. lOd. The Clerk: More than half the total amount.— On the proposition of Mr. Edwin Morris, the suggestion made by the Assistant Clerk was adopted.—Mr. R. J. Jones said he had been told by the chairman of the Finance Committee that this would not occur again. The Medical Officership. Captain Fossett Roberts said a letter was addressed to the Local Government Board with reference to the medical officership on January 13th last. He would like to know whether any reply had been received to that.—The Clerk: Nothing at all.-Captaiii Roberts: The letter was written nearly two months ago.—Mr. W. Thomas: The General Election has taken place since.—The Clerk: The two last letters to the Board have not been acknowledge!.—Mr. R. J. Jones: AN-e had so many before that it is ridiculous ts ask them again. Hospitality. The master reported that the members of the B.W.T.A. gave the inmates a treat on the afternoon of the 21st ult., and an en- tertaimnent in t^e eevning. Gifts were also distributed by Mrs. James (guardian) and Mrs. W m. Thomas. A parcel of literature had also been received from Mrs. Purton, North-parade.—On the proposition of Mr. Edwin Morris, seconder- hv Mr. R. J. Jones, a vote of thanks was passed to these donors for their kindness. A Vexed Question. Mr. E. J. Eans had given notice of the following motion That one month's notice be given to Dr. Bonsall to terminate his services as district medical officer and public vaccinator." Mr. Evans asked per- mission to postpone his motion, pointing out that he wished to amend, the wording of it, while owing to the fair that day a large • number of the members were unable to be present.—The Chairman advised Mr. Evans I to have his proposition worded so as to meet j the requirements of the Poor Law Act. I Tkat Act stated that C! every medical office'- I of a workhouse shall hold his office until he skall die or resign or be proved to be insane by evidence which the Poor Law Board shall then demand or become i.:i4a::J disqualifi d to hold such office or be removed by the Poor Law Board.—Mr. Joseph Parry -aid no doubt Mr. Evans knew the whole of that before now, bnt hoed they not wasted enough i time over this matter. He thought it was only loll" altogether. The Local Govern- ment Board was strongly against them, and it was not likely the doctor would be called upon to resign.—Mr. Wm. Thomas inter- posed at this point, whereupon Mr. Parry said he was prepared to sit down if Mr. Thomas desired to interrupt.—Mr. Win. Thomas said every man had a right to rise to a point of order, and he wished to know on what resolution Mr. Parry was speaking.— The Chairman: Are you going to move a re- solution ?—Mr. Parry: Yes, if I have time. Proceeding, Mr. Parry said he failed to see what they were going to gain by leaving the House without a medical officer. No doubt, they could have no one better than Dr. Edwards to look after the inmates, but lie believed there was a strong feeling amongst the managers against Dr. Edwards visiting the Workhouse. He also believed there was a strong feeling outside the Board as to this matter.—Mr. R. J. Jones: Quite right.—Mr. Edwin Morris: Yes, amongst the ratepayers.-—Mr. Parry said he was not of the same political opinions as some of the persons who supported Dr. Bonsall, but they would remember that he proposed before that Dr. Bonsall be appointed week by week at a certain salary. If that had been accept- ed, they would be in a better position to- day. What they were doing now was simply child's play, and they really had no ground to fight upon. It was true Dr. Bonsall had resigned, but like many a farm servant he had done so in order to force his employer to give him a higher salary. He admitted that Dr. Bonsall was not as courteous as he might be to the Board, and especially in personal conversation. He would like to see him more obliging and more ready to meet the Guardians. At the same time he was a man who did not neglect his work, and he believed it would be better, without going to any further trouble, to re-appoint him. He gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that Dr. Bonsall be re-appointed, and that the salary formerly paid him be increased by £ 10.

St David's Day at Abcr- ystwyth. THE ANNUAL BANQUET. SPEECH BY ARCHDEACON WILLIAMS. The annual banquet in commemoration of the patron saint of Wales was held on Thurs- day evening last at the Talbot Hotel. This was the twentieth successive dinner held at this hostelry, and this year's gathering was, undoubtedly, the most successful held within recent years. Alderman Edward Evans, J.P., occupied the chair, and Mr. T. B. Grierson, the vice-chair. There were also present Archdeacon Williams, Alderman E. P. Wynne, Major Barry Taunton, Mr. H. J. Jones, Mr. D. Lloyd Lewis, Mr. J. D. Perrott, Mr. Richard Jones, Mr. F. M. Wil- liams, Mr. William Green, Mr. D. M. Davies, Mr. R. J. Jenkins, Mr. E. Hindley, Mr J. A. Thomas, Mr. Arthur Jones, Mr. T. Kilvington (secretary), Mr. A. Havard Protheroe, Mr. R. C. Richardes, Mr Richard E. Jones, Mr. Lewes T. Loveden Pryse, Mr. T. Amos Jones, Mr. J. B. Kitto, Mr. J.

Host Jones had provided a recherche spread, the catering being all that could be desired. At the post-prandial proceedings the loyal toasts were given from the chair, and were received with musical honours. Seng, The Bedouin," Mr. Amos Jones. The toast of The Bishops, Clergy, and Ministers of all Denominations was sub- mitted by Alderman E. P. Wynne. Speaking of the clergy and ministers, he said that in Aberystwyth they were blessed with men of integrity and standing, men who tried to do their duty. Bigotry and rivalry was con- spicuous by its absence, and they found more of the spirt of unity in religious matters than in almost any town in the Principality. They were pleased to welcome ministers to gather ings of this nature. Archdeacon Williams, in responding, said they had in the Bishop of St. David's a worthy successor of the great patron saint of Wales. (Hear, hear). He was as Welsh as the saint himself, and he was as active as any man could possibly be in the discharge of his numerous duties. He had an exten- sive territory to go over, but he was to be found day after day in various corners do- ing his work manfully, and he was sure that he gave satisfaction, not. only to the clergy but also to the laity of the diocese. As for the clergy, he believed they would agree with him that they were ali endeavouring to do their duty, and the ministers of all the other denominations were doing the same. He could assure them that he for one as a clergyman fully appreciated the great and noble work that had been done for Wales by the Nonconformist ministers. (Hear, hear). He could only hope and pray that this good work might be continued, and that all ministers of religion of every denomination would rival one another in doing good to I their fellow men and saying the least against I those who did not exactly see with them. (Hear, hear). The Church of England was a broad and tolerant church, and they prayed every Sunday in their service that all who called themselves Christians might live in the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. He hoped all ministers of religion would continue to act in this Christian spirit, and that the cause of Christ would flourish throughout the land. (Hear, hear). Song, "Hundred fathoms cleep;" Mr. J.

Everybody should drink Cadburv's cocoa regularly at breakfast and lunch time, and particularly with the evening meal, because, oving to its mildly stimulative action, it is one of the few beverages that aid rather than retard ion of other foods.

There is abundant New Rich Blood fop them in Dr. Williams' Pink Fills THE insidious trouble that most frequently afflicts young women is Anaemia—or too little blood." Serious evils follow Anaemia, as is shown in the cases of two sisters, the Misses Cottrell. Miss Florence Cottrell, when interviewed at Rose-terrace, Victoria-street, Bristol, stated: "I had always been delicate, and no one thought that I would ever be stronz. I became very ernacai- ted and had no appe- tite. My weakness was dreadful, and ] felt so dejected that I had no energy for anything 11 Even a little cise was too much fi r me. Finally I had to give up walking altogether. I wen! to the hospital for some time, but, came out with the same hopeless feeling. I tried tonics and modi cines, but to no pur- Tiva Antrmic Sisters cui ed by pose I was subject Dr. Williams'Pink Pills. to constant neuralgia^ and my troubles dragged me down until I was only skin and bone. I read of many cures by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and tried a box. Then I felt brighter, and my appetite im- proved I was less languid. Gradually, I became stronger, could walk well, and the neuralgia vanished. With a few boxes of pills I was perfectly well. I have quite a colour now, and I go daily to business." Miss Beatrice Cottrell, aged eighteen, added: "From childhood I have suffered with fearful headaches and fainting fits; after I left school these became worse. I became very thin and pale; my blood was poor, and I felt too ill to work. "After taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People my headaches were certainly re- lieved, my appetite greatly improved, and before long I was positively cured. Now I am ever so strong." When the vital organs become weakened through anaemia, they can be restored to healthy activity only by an increased sup- ply of rich, pure blood, which is supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have cured Anaemia, Indigestion, Bile, Eczema, Consumption, Kidney Disease, Rheumatism, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Paral- ysis, Locomotor Ataxy; invaluable also for Ladies' Ailmente.

iSt David's Day at Abcrystwyth.
of the health of The- Lord Lieutenant," pleaded for a shorter toast list, and more notice to those who had been selected to submit the toasts. Speaking of Colonel Davies-Evans, he regarded him as a very worthy representative of his Majesty in the county of Cardigan. He was a gentleman ready at all times to assist in any movement which was for the good of his fellow-country- men. (Hear, hear). The toast having been drunk, Mr. Amos Jones sang, Father O'Flynn," which was encored. Mr. T. B. Grierson, the vice-chairman, pro- posed the toast of The County Member of Parliament." He said he had seen the way Mr. Vaughan Davie.s worked in London, and he knew his interest in the welfare of the town of Aberystwyth and the county of Car- digan was a great one. There were two small points of difference between the pro- poser of the toast and the person being toasted, but notwithstanding that Mr. Vaughan Davies had made an excellent mem- ber of Parliament, and if lie might say so lie ought to be very grateful to his oppon- ents for giving him such a magnificent majority at the last election. (Laughter). Mr. Davies was actively and earnestly try- ing to get a better train service for the town, particularly on the M. and M. Rail- way, in order to bring about improved postal facilities. He hoped Mr. Daves would long be spared to continue his extremely useful career in the House of Commons.—The toast was drunk with musical honours. Song (encored), Mr. Havard Protheroe. The toast of the evening, that of The Immortal Memory of St. David," was next proposed by Archdeacon Williams. He said he felt highly honoured in being asked to do so, and during the day he had been search- ing his books to find something to say about St. David. He found two lines, one in Welsh and the other in Latin in the Cam- bro-British Saints," but after reading them through he came to the conclusion that there was more fiction than fact in both of those lines; and, therefore, he had to pass them by. Those were written by the monks of the 12th century—a very romantic manner, ascribing to St. David all the virtues, per- haps greater virtues than our Lord himself. But having searched through other histories, and having winnowed the corn from the chaff, lie had come to the conclusion that St. David was a great man in his time, the leader of his countrymen, and he had tried to find out why it was that this man should stand pre-eminent among all the other great saints of the Welsh Church in the 6th cen- tury. They knew that at that time the Romans had left the island, and that the country was being conquered by two differ- ent parties—one from Ireland with a chief called Brychan, a race of people called Goidals, and another race of people who came down from Strathclyde, the sons of Cynedda, who were Bryttjhons, and these two races seemed to have over-run the country, and also to have introduced the Christian religion and established churches in various parishes throughout Wales. These churches were named not after dead saints, but after the men who founded them; that was to say. men connected with these var- ious chieftains who took a prominent part in conquering the country, and between whom the land was divided. St. David was the great grandson of Cynedda, the Brython, who was a grandson of Ceredig. from whom the county of Cardigan took its game. St. David's pre-eminence was due, it appeared, to the fact that he married a charming young lady, belonging to the Goidals, and so unit- ed the two races of people. They found that St. David received a good education at the school at Llantwit Major, and that from there lie moved to Tygwyn, or Whitland, where he was further instructed under a great man, whose name was Paulinus, and from there he went down to the remote corner of Pembrokeshire, where lie establish- ed a religious house of his own, which by the "Vvelsh to this day was called Tyddewi. He was also noted as a leader in theological controversy. They had heard that he put down the Pelagian heresy at Llanddewi Brefi, but on further enquiry into the matter they found that no less than two synods were held by the ecclesiastical and lay people of those days to discuss various points of discipline, and it was as a disciplinarian, as a leader of the Christian religion that he flourished throughout the land. The acts or the regulations passed at his two councils had been discovered in a French monastery, and so they now knew pretty well what actually took place at the synod of Llan- ddewi Brefi. It was not so much a matter of theological controversy as a matter of the discipline of the church, and not only did he exercise discipline in Wales, but he was also sent over to Ireland. He (the speaker) did not know whether the days of Donvbrook fair had then commenced, but anyhow St. David exercised a wholesome discipline in the sister isle, and that accounted for the great Christianity and the fine race of people that now inhabited that island. Welshmen belonged to an ancient and distinguished race of people. They belonged to the ancient Britons. They had a language which was spoken, almost ex- actly as it was now, 1500 years ago. Welsh scholars could read the poems of Taliesin who attended the school at Llantwit in the 6th century, and his poems could be read with advantage by anv Welshman in the present day. So they had the proud dis- tinction of being a very ancient race, and to their Saxon neighbours could say:—• Insult a Welshman, if you Care, Ancient Britons as we are We were men of great renown Before the Saxon wore a crown. (Applause). But not only were they men of great renown in those days, but the Welsh- people had a great name in the present day. Gallant little Wales was being highly spoken of throughout the Empire. (hear, hear). And then came the question, How was it the Welshman excelled the Englishman r There was a German proverb wliieh said a man is what lie eats." Was the effect of the superiority of the Welshman to be ascribed solely to the food which lie ate ? On the borders of Pembrokeshire, where the two languages and the two races met there was a doctor who had patients on both sides— the Welsh on one side of the river and the English on the other. He recommended as a certain cure to all Welshmen, leek broth, and he found that it had a salutary effect, but when lie went to the other side and pre- scribed the Welshman's physic, the English- man got worse. It was impossible for him to swallow the leek. (Laughter). But the W eishman was not only made such as he was by what he ate, but also by what he drank. (Renewed laughter). The quality of his drink had, perhaps, more to do with it than the quality of his food, and he was proud to say that the drink of Wales was some of the purest in the world. Plynlimon water was as fine a drink as any, and he was glad to find that their English friends were be- ginning to appreciate the quality of this excellent drink. Birmingham had already had a good deal of It, and he believed London and other large towns wanted more. In addition to the drink in forming a man, there was also the air he breathed. The air of Plynlymon and of the Welsh mountains was more exhilarating than champagne, and the ozone irom the breezy Atlantic on the western coast of Wales would make any man strong, vigorous, and lively. They were also willing to share the air and the ozone with their English friends provided they came for it, because it would be very difficult to get it to London in pipes the same as water. And then came the Welsh- man's patriotism. According to Dr. Johnson, the great lexicographer, patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel. He (the speaker) was sure the Welshman's patriotism was 110u that. Ihe selfish man was generally a scoundrel, but the Welshman's patriotism was an enlarged patriotism. He wished to make himself useful throughout the Empire to which he had the honour to belong, and the first duty oi a \Tc.,lL patriot was to learn the English language while not neglecting his own. (Hear, hear). Because without a knowledge of the English language he would be of very litt 12 use beyond his Welsh hills. It as said by a great American, General Miles, who commanded the troops of the Lnited States, that Wales was a grand country to come from. No doubt he found it so. because the h ight. mental power he had and his level b^y V-1 V- -r'V.jcd 011 the food, the drinV, the air he had'already described. He had no doubt that the Lord Mayor of London would also say that Wales was a grand country to come from, for had he not been norrisW with the air. and the food, and#the of the "Radnorshire hills. and was it not from what llP- had received in Wales tl1"t 1, had r-uch a. r>ve- mirent man and the Lord Mavor of 'the Metropolis of the wodd ? (Hc-nr, Those hardy sons of Wrdos showed that it within the power of many a Welshman to work his way up by step until he work- ed himself up J;c portions equal to those of General Miles or the Lord Mayor or London. When they had made their fortunes in the big cities k they wanted them also to learn that Wales was a great country to come back to. (Hear, hear). They would be very pleased to see them come back, especially for their holidays in the summer, and also for the rest of the year by building houses and coming there to end" their days. Wales, therefore, was a country to be proud of, and in the words of the great national poet of Scotland, Sir Walter Scott, lie would say: Gwyllt Walia, stern and wild, Meet homo for a poetic child, Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood Lives there a man with soul so uead; Who never to himself has said, This is my own my native land. The toast was then drunk in silence from the loving cup, which was handed round to each of the guests. At the request of the Vice-Chairman, the names of all the presid- ents whose names are inscribed on the cup, were read out as follows:-—1886, Mr. G. Hughes-Bonsall; 1887, Mr. Hugh Hughes; 1888, Mr. Wm. Williams; 1889, Mr. R. C. Richardes; 1890, Mr. Thomas Griffiths; 1891, Mr. John Morgan; 1892, Alderman E. P. Wynne; 1893, Mr. R. G. Smith; 1894, Mr. D. M. Davies; 1895, Captain Hugh Bonsall; 189(5, Mr. J. D. ,Perrott; 1897, Sir James Szlumper; 1898, Mr. F. R. Roberts: 1899, Mr. T. Kilvington; 1900, Mr. W. Hughes Jones; 1901, Mr. D. Lloyd Lewis; 1902, Mr. It. J. Jones; 1903, Dr. T. D. Harries; 1904, Capt. G. F. Roberts; 1905, Major Barry Taunton; 1906, Alderman Edward Evans. Song. "Anwyl hen wlad," Mr. F. M. Williams; recitation, "Women of Mumbles Head," Mr. J. W. Mortimer. Mr. D. Lloyd Lewis proposed the toast of The Town and Trade of Aberystwyth," and said the key to the success of the town and trade was better railway facilities. (Hear, hear). He coupled with the toast the name of Mr. Grierson, general manager of the M. and M. Railway. Song, My Irish Mollie," Mr. Austin Jenkins; encore, "Give my regards to Leicester-square." Mr. T. B. Grierson, in responding, thought that if the Welsh members of Parliament were approached by an important town like Aberystwyth with a request that they should endeavour to get money for the opening up of the mines, the railways, and other works he really thought the application would be successful, as in the case of Ireland. He thought the new banks built and being built was an indication of the prosperity of the town, and brought grist to the mill of the railway companies by the carriage of material. If they did not get traffic on the M. and M., they could not afford to spend money in Aberystwyth. It was very im- portant to have a good service of trains to a town like Aberystwyth. There ought to be two double lines for the town. (Hear, hear). It was his opinion, and he said it advisedly, that if the Bill which the Great Western Railway Company were trying to get through was successful it would be the making of Aberystwyth. He was perfectly certain it would make Aberystwyth a, greater town than Llandudno for the reason that it was not run upon so much. During the next five or six years he believed the value of land in Aberystwyth would increase three fold or more. He thought it was the duty of every business man in the town to back with heart and hand—he did not say pocket —the scheme for the opening up of the town for the tourist traffic from South Wales, London, and the Midlands. Last year the M. and M. spent in the town and district close upon £ 20,000, and he hoped the future of the town would be one of prosperity in every way. (Applause). The Vice-Chairman proposed the toast of "The Visitors," to which Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Wallis responded. Mr. R. J. Jones gave the toast of The Chairman," which was enthusiastically drunk. Alderman Evans. in responding, said he honoured highly the privilege of presiding at that national banquet. He was pleased to find so many of his friends supporting him on this occasion, and he waa deeply sensible of the kindness they had shown him. (Hear, hear). Song, "Song that reached my heart," Mr. Kilvington, junr. Mr. Lewes Pryse, in proposing the toast of The Vice-Chairman," said he regarded Mr. Grierson as a thoroughly go-ahead man. (Laughter). And that was what was wanted in Aberystwyth more than anything else. The people of Aberystwyth were a. bit in- dined to stick like a horse going over a plough, but Mr. Grierson went ahead with everything he was connected with. (Hear, hear). Mr. Grierson responded in a few appro- priate words. Song. "In cellar cool." Mr. Amos Jones: duett, "Larboard Watch (encored), Messrs Evans. The toasts of "The Press" and The "Host and Hostess" having been honoured, the proceedings terminated with the singing of the Welsh and English national anthems. Mr. G. Stephen Evans, A.R.C.O., ably presided at the piano.

There was also a stranger in the room, a traveller, whose name he believed was Grif- fiths. He asked Rees Evans what he was doing there and he replied "I come to show the house to that man there." He went to John Jones, and awakened him with diffi- culty. He asked him why he was there, and he received no reply. He asked him a second time and the landlord said "Now, John, mind to say you are. lodging here." He told defendant to let Jones answer for himself. Jones asked witness if he owed him any money.
