The site was given free by the Corporation, ihe foundation stone was laid in July, 1 UOo, by Air. David Daviea,. M.P., Llandinam, and the contractors, Messrs Edwards. Bros., made such good piogres6 with the work of erection in the meantime, that it was possible to hold the opening ceremony on Friday afternoon last. Fortunately, the proceedings were favour- ed with fine weather. Several sticets of the town, pa: ticularly Bridge-street, Great Darkgate-street, and Baker-street—had been profusely decorated with flags and bunting.

(Hear, hear). They were also gratified at t!1I>. nr^soTieQ 0f their wortt'.y member, who was always so ready to help their, (Appiaus ■e).

T'>o ine Mayor tnen called upon L-i-incipai Roberts to deliver an address. Principal Roberts said: i he opening of the New Library building by Mrs. Yauglian Davies is an event ot Jeep interest to the oivic life oi thi? borough, to the well being of the individual citizen, and even to Wales as a whole. I cannot iail to b: deeply grate- ful to those men who du ing the past 20 or 30 years have laboured for these great ob- jects and have made the town a model for other districts to follow. (Hear, hear). But I think we must recognise that a second stage of civic progress is now pressing close- ly on the heels of the first. The Freo Lib- rary is a vital part oi the organised higher life of the citizens of this town. (Applause). Its control is vested in its chosen representa- tives. The annual rate is necessarily small and the provision of good books is a costly matter, ihe problems of Library manage- ment are changing through the immense out- put of cheap literature with the result that the task of selection :s by no means a simple one. It should be the aim of the com- mittee to choose those books which are like- ly to be out of reach of the majority of their constituents, and at the same time of per- manent interest and utility such as stand- ard books of reference, books of technical i matters, and neriorHcnlfi 'vhicht throw light on the economic and social problems which affect the lifo sir-?. urban and rural dis- tricts, and which are representative of the literature and social life of Wales. I rejoice that accommodation is provided in this build- ing for the science and art clajsses which are so invaluable n t>a^ .f the opportunities of the young people of the town. It will be part of the duty of the educational authori- ties ot the town in co-operation with the Library Comiml'we to provide for each win- ter a scheme. of sri^nce and art teaching on a more complete and organised footing than anything that has been practicable in the past. Tbe,e are some of the directions in which it behoves the vigorous and practical citizens of this town to co-operate with one mind and haart for bAr highest well bein«r. (Hear, hearV Rut, however miKh these opportunities ro?v multir^* in Aberystwvth in tha future the individual eitir^n if h*5 wants to live c L Z- higher at :111 must continue to tnlio of himself. (-T- T (I hear.) A library is the opportunity of the individual to gain access to the highest and most inspiring society and comradeship that the world contains. The profitable inter- course of comrades is very precious where you can get it, and perhaps the nearest way to realise it is by the gathering together of small groups to read some great book. A new comradeship I believe is in the making, but until the day comes when man can meet his fellow man face to face and mind to mind the habit of reading is the sheet anchor of the individual amid the social distractions of the time, his consolation in solitude, his equipment for strenuous speech and action, and his enfranchisement in the world-wide brotherhood of men. (.Hear, hear). I do not doubt that it was some such considerations that actuated the giver of this commodious library in determining upon his mode of( benefitting others. To the working-men of Aberystwyth to-day lie says, apply yourselves to leading. Head the greatest writers. Read the great writers themselves, and do not concern yourself merely to read about them. (Applause). Read and re-read the same books. Remember that your educa- tion is a life-long pursuit. There are few I from whom we can be better content to re- ceive such a gift or to learn the lesson it enforces than from Mr. Andrew Carnegie. He has earned the glorious title to be friend his lollop me [i the world over by the great heart that beats within his breast I and by his indifference to material wealth except as it can be turned into the coin of good deeds, which pass current in every land. (Applause). Aberystwyth was I be- lieve the first place m Wales to adopt the Free Libraries Act, and the first or second place to adopt the School Board Act of 1870. The citizens of Aberystwyth have made large gifts to the cause of learning, culminating in their recent noble contributions towards thfi National Librarv or- Wales soon to be I established in oar midst. (Hear, hear). At Aberystwyth the aspirations of a whole people for higher education first found a national expression by an effort that will be remembered as long as Wales endures. (Appla use). The impending establishment by law of the Council of Wales reminds us that we stand to-day on the threshold of the crowning stage of the awakening of the Welsh nation. This town by its position, its memories, and its achievements is called f upon to assume a leading place in this on- l vyaid movement. Upon you and your child- ren the responsibility will largely rest of holding up on high those central signals that will keep the whole people in touch. (Hear, hear). You must therefore educate your- solves and your children, not alone for your individual interests, or even for the activi- ties of citizenship but for the service of Wales, so that we may not fail to realise the breadth and greatness of her aims, and to be stirred to the depth of our being and renewed in mind and in character by the great things that are afoot in our time. "his Library s:gnifies that the intellectual inheritance of the world is ours to use in Wales and for Wales. By applying our- selves to reading we shall be able to bring that world experience to bear on our own national life. I believe that contact with the life of other nations through their litera- ture, their sciences, and their arts, will teach us that eve'-v great awakening has sprung from a deeper insight on the part cf a people, into the significance of its own nationality, and t' at instead of attempting to construct the fabric of our organised life out of foreign materials, on artificial ground, we shall erect it upon the deep natural foundations of our national inheritance as revealed by our literature and history, our ideals and convictions, our tastes and accom- plishments, our industries and occupations, oar old world chivalry, the natural blossom of centuries oi experience gathered in a land of unsurpassed beauty and romance. (Cheers.). I do not doubt that the opening of this new- Library will help to drive home to every one of us this great lesson and help us to take our new Aork in hand. (Applause). Councillor T. J. Samuel, chairman of the Public Library Committee, said they were that afternoon entering into their own free- hold, thanks to the munificence of Mr. Andrew Carneg.e. Since the year 1872, they had been in lodgings, and this was their fourth removal. The Public Library was started in thu year 1872 in the oh: Compton House in Pier-street. Afterwards it was removed tu the Old Assembly Rooms, and in 1903 it was removed to the bank premises in Pier-street. He felt sure they would all agree with him after seeing the premises that they could not get a more commodious and a more convenient building than what they now had in Alfred-place. He knew there was much criticism passed as to the outward appearance of the build- ing. That was not duo to want of architec- ttii-e, but probably to the quality of the stone. He was assured, however, by people who ought to know that the building would improvs in its outward appearance as years went by. But he was certain that however much they disliked the outward appearance, th.f. th U'01Jlt1 ho V ti",f1LVl n'; C", l the interior. (Hear, hear.) In the early days, the peuny rate, which was the maxi- mum which could be levied for the support of the Library, only realised £ 80; now it camo to something like JE180. That, of course, would not satisfy the Library Com- mittee, because they had set a very high standard for the quality of books which they wished to purchase for the Library. He had great pleasure in handing to Mrs. Davies a silver key as a slight memento of that afternoon's ceremony. (Cheers.) Mrs. Vaughan Davies, who was greated with applause, said she begged to thank them most heartily for their kindness in asking her to open that Library. She hoped they would all get enjoyment and instruction from it. (Chee's.) Councillor Sam;.el then proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Vaughan Davies for her kind acceptance of the invitation to open th-e Library that afternoon. Prof. Anwyl said it gave him great plea- sure as a member of the Public Librarv J T

LLAN YBYTItEli. Farmer in Trouble.—At a, special Police Court at Carmarthen last week, Benjamin Lloyd, farmer, Dolgwni, Llanybyther, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police Constable E. G. Davies on the night of John Brown's Fair. De- fendant, it appeared, had been turned out of the Red Lion Inn, and when the constable told the landlord of the Old King George not to supply him with drink, Lloyd hit the policeman on the head with a stick, saying he did not care if it cost him CIO.-He was mulcted in the sum of £ 2 4s. öd. Broken Eggs.—At Pontypridd County Court on Thursday last, the Manchester and Milford Railway Company were sued by Messrs. Morre and Co., butter, cheese and egg merchants, Pontypridd, for P,3 17s. 7d., in respect of damage to various consignments of eggs. Mr. D. Rees ,Messrs. W. R. Davies and Co.) was for plaintiff, and Mr Thomp- son, Cardiff, defended. The question of amount was not disputed, but the respond- ents denied liability. It transpired that the eggs had to be carried a distance of three miles to Llanybythor Station before they were handed to the railway company, and his Honour stated that it was difficult to decide at what part of the journey the dam- age was done. Ho gave judgment for the defendant company, without costs. Attacked by a Tramp.—About 2 p.m. on Thursday the wife of Thomas Jones, Pendall, Llanllwni, farmer, started from her home to Lianybytiier, and when near Gwargraig she o:. liio roadside, iie isiicu her she iuid gono on a tiio tramp, it is alleged, came after hot, caught her by the throat, and th: ow hei violently to the ground. She screamed, but he placed his hand on her mouth, and with his other hand took out her purss and handkerchief and decamped u'.th them o\ or the hedge, leaving the woman ou the road. The purse contained 7s. Ud. in silver. Information was sent to the police at Llanybyther and Pencader. P.C. J. W. Johns, oi Pencader, had a rough description given him of the train p. iie went o'ci o, his bicycle, and after making inquiries arrested a man on the Llandyssul j'üaJ a;jû,lt Î p.m. P.C. Johns found on the prisoner, who gave his name as William Ebsworth, 7s. Gd. in silver and a pocket hand kerchief, which Mrs. Jones has iden- tified as her property. Prisoner had been travelling the country with Alexandras {'if.?, brt ho had ro^ntly !>ft them. Mrs. Jones is suffering greatly from shock. Khyciybont.— the annual tea party in con- nection with.

LAMPETER. The Students' Return.—The students re- turned to the College after a three weeks' holiday on Wednesday. The Summer term commences to-day (Thursday). Personal.-illis. Harford, of Blaise Castle, arrived at Falcondale on Thursday last. Despite her advancing age Mrs. Harford seemed in the best. of health, and her many friends and acquaintances at Lampeter were glad to see her so well. The Rifle Club.—A team representing the Miniature Rifle Club, consisting of Sergt. Major Baldwyn, A. E. Edwards, D. A. Fox, A. R. T. Jones, J. Evans, and Harry Davies, with Mr. A. E.

Ambulance.—Following the example of other railway centres, an ambulance class has been formed at the railway station. The first lecture was given on Wednesday evening by Dr. E. H. Griffiths, the instruc- tor. There was a fair muster of members, and there arc good signs that the class will be a success. To-morrow's Appointments. At its meeting to-morrow, the Rural District Coun- cil will elect its chairman for the ensuing year. The Rev. T. C. Edmunds, Trefllan, has held the post for so many year that there seems to be some feeling among the members for a change.—Mr .David Davies, Velindre, has sent a letter to the Board of Guardians intimating his desire not to be re-elected chairman for the ensuing year. Both Mr. Davies and Mr. Edmunds have occupied the respective posts for many years, and have carried out their work in a most satisfactory manner. Yeomen at the Range.—The annual mus- ketry course of tho "D." Squadron, comman- ded by Major Harford, commenced at the Capeli Range on Tuesday.

As they feed and ^jfT cleanse the Blood, so the Bloom of Health, re- turns, the Skin grows Fair, and, most important, Health and Strength are found. Purgatives and Oint- ments cannot do this; in fact, no other remedy has ever produced such wonderful results in cases of Bad Blood as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. Miss Miriam Mortimore, of Kiln Cottage, Bishop's Teignton, Newton Abbot, related to a Mid-Devon Times" reporter how terribly she suffered from an angry form of eozcma in the hands and face. From my childhood," she said, I had been troubled more or less with Eczema, but a year or so ago I had a terribly severe attack, aggravated by a chill. WTiite, watery pimples appeared on my face and hands, so painful that I was always in misery. I did not care to be seen by friends, the eczema was no unsightly. My appetite fell away, and I could not sleep because of the pain and itching. Lotions were pre- scribed, but I became worse. My hands and arms were in a terrible state; whenever I put them in water the eczema became more angry. It appeared like a bladder on my skin, which peeled; and my finger nails came off. One day I happened to read about a cure of Eczema by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals People, and so sent for half a dozen boxes. When I had taken the pills for a little while, I experienced marked relief, with freedom from the pain and itching. The complaint died down, and very soon I was able to resume work again. I continued to take the pills, and before long was entirely cured. Now I am as healthy as I could wish. The eczema has disappeared, and my skin is without a blemish." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People not only make Good, Rich Blood; they fortify the Nerves, and have repeatedly cured Anaemia, Indigestion, Palpitations, Rheu- matism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance, Eczema, Nervous Disorders, Paraly- sis, Locomotor Ataxy, and Effects of Over- work or Worry, also Ladies' Ailments. But only the genuine pills cure, those always bearing the full name in seven words as above.

CAPEL BANGOR, Vestry. The annual vestry was held at Capel Bangor Schoolroom on Friday even- ing, April 20th, when the Rev. M. Morgan presided. There were also present Rev. E. J.

Lewis, Daivd Dobson. The Churchwardens pre- sented their accounts for the Parish Church and Goginan Church, which were examined I and found correct, with a balance in hand. The Vicar said he had great pleasure in re- appointing Mr. Edward Edwards as his warden, and Mr. David Evans was appointed warden for Goginan Church. R.B. Lewis was re-elected sidesman for Bangor Church, with the addition of Richard Lewis and J. F. Stanton also Mr. Mitchell and Thomas Bradshaw were re-elected sidesmen for Gog- inan Church.

Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., acknowledged the vote oi t: tJ11 bh;1:1 01 UlS v.'ne, anu said he was very glad indeed that she was able to piace one more link in the educa- tional system that was encircling the town of Aberystwyth, a system that they must take care to add to on every possible occasion. They were all aware that in a very short time a great change would take place in the administration of Welsh education, and he felt sure he was expressing the feeling of all when lie said that he hop.'d the new system would bo worked for the benefit of the people of Wales, and that neither bigotry or nar- row-mindedness would be introduced. With all its educational advantages, he congratu- lated Aberystwyth upon the fact that one oi the great railway companies of the country had at last secured an entry to the town. That would do enormous good, not only to trad but in bringing people to the town. He saw two gentlemen present re- presenting the respective railway companies running into the town, and he hoped tlvy would ent^r into strong and friendly rivalry to see which could serve the town best. (Hear, hear). Speaking for himself, Ir. Davies said he need not tell them how grate- ful he was to th m for the indirect compli- ment they had paid him by asking his wife to come there that day to open the Library. (Applause). He had great pleasure in pro- posing a vote of thanks to Principal Roberts for his address. His work was well-known to all of them, and lie hoped the same spirit would animate the other Welsh principals and himself in their future dealing with Welsh education, in which they would be I called upon to take a leading part. He hoped they would remember the members of the teaching profession in Wales, a profes- sion that was apt to be overlooked by a I great many people. It always gave him im- I mense pleasure to stand up for and support the schoolmasters of Wales. They were the people who laid the seeds from which the Colleges afterwards gathered the fruit. The Hcv. W. Matthews, M.A., in second- ing the vote of thanks to the Principal, said he was sure. they were all deeply impressed with the seriousness of that address, and also its practical value. If he might venture to sum up Principal Roberts' address lie thought he would tell the people of Aberyst- wyth, and especially the young people, There is the scaffolding, now go and erect your building." (Applause). It was some- thing to get a well-stocked library; but it was not all. It was only the beginning; it was only the skeleton they had to clothe that skeleton with living flesh. It was to be devoutly hoped that the members of the I Library Committee would do everything they could to introduce the best forms of literature, so that something might be done to counteract the rubbishy stuff sold by the thousands and tens of thousands. The Lib- rary would be a real help in the formation of character in the citizens of the town and district if they were permitted to share in its benefits. (Hear, hear). The proposition was unanimously carried. Mr. Evan Evans, solicitor, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The people of Aberystwyth would, ho said, come to that building for many generations, and find in it some of the best literature in Eng- lish and Welsh that the country had ever produced, and he considered it their bounden duty to thank Mr. Carnegie for having pro- vided them with a permanent home. There was another reason why they should thank Mr. Carnegie. Hitherto, they had been obliged to pay heavy rent for their pre- mises, which w-as a source of hindrance to the committee in the work of purchasing new books. In future they would pa.y no rent, and by that means the committee would be better enabled than they had ever been hitherto to purchase new books for the Library. The Town Council had always sup- ported the committee in this respect, and as an old member of the committee lie took this opportunity of publicly thanking the members of the Town Council for their gen- erous support to the committee. He knew that their contributions were limited, be- cause they were restricted by the Public Lib raries Act. They were apt, he knew, to criticise the action of their Town Council. They did not always please them. (Laughter). But he thought he c-ould assure the Town Council that none of the ratepayers had ever criticised the assistance which they had rendered to the Public Library Committee. Nobody had ever suggested that they should give less, and nobody couJ,¿ possibly expect them to do more, inasmuch as they had given from time to time the utmost limit which the Act allowed them to give. Par- liament. as they knew, had for many years enabled public authorities to tax them to any extent for the purpose of drains, water. and other requirements which administered to material wants, but the same Parliament in its wisdom had said that no Town Council shall provide requirements for the intellec- tual wants of the community except to the extent of one penny in the E. He hoped there would be very soon an amendment in the law in that respect. They had now had a new Parliament composed of enthusiastic members, many of them eager to make a name and fame, for themselves, and he hoped some of them would make a name for them- selves and confer a boon on the community in this direction. He hoped their own mem- ber would not think him out of place in sug- gesting that this was a very good work that he might take up, and he was sure his name would go down to posterity, and they would all, here in Aberystwyth and elsewhere, feel greatly obliged to him if he could induce his fellow members to extend the Act in this respect. (Applause). Mr. David Samuel, M.A., in seconding, -I said it might not fall to the lot of Aberyst- wyth to become a rich community. It did not fall to the lot of all towns to become large, populous centres, but there was one thing that they could become—and he hoped they were becoming gradually—and that was an enlightened, well-read, cultured com- munity, fond of books. He loved the saying of Macaulay's that be would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books about him, than be a king on a throne who had no love for reading. Reference had been made to the elementary schools, the secondary school, and the College. It was not given to every lad to enter the College. but here was something which might be better for him. He had here a Library which Mr. Henry Sedgwick had called a cheap University. Some of them had gono into that College and through it, and past it. Here again they could find after their College days a cheap university. He invit- ed them all. as one who was himself inter- ested in books, and who had been connected with the Public Library of the town for many years, to make use of the Library, and to show in a more effective way. their appre- I ciation of the noble donation they had had from Mr. Carnegie than was possible for his poor eloquence. (Applause). The proposition having been carried with acclamation, Mrs. Vaughan Davies, accom- panied by the Mayor and others present, then proceeded to the door of the Library, and having turned the key in the lock declared the building duly opened. The premises were then inspected, and the general ar- rangement of the interior evoked unstinted praise on all hands. Subsequently, a reception was held at the Waterloo Hotel, where Mrs. Vaughan Davies was introduced to the members of the Corpora- tion, members of the Library Committee, and others.

-n_ thero is every reason to believe that he will capture lle tropny Gil tiu^ oecas.on. The course win terminate on the -40tll of May, ana the result ill be reported in due course.—Captain tetevrs.it, Aucyicdyn, it is understood, will soon join the squadron as captain, and this iact has been welcomed by the men. iieiore going into camp on the loth prox. the squauron will parade at Aber- ystwyth on Wednesday, and in tins town oil the iollowing Ihursaay. Forty reciuits have been enrolled during the year, and although applications are I::> pouring in daily the recruiting officer, Sergt.-Major Baldwin has been compelled to reject them. With such applications pouring in the officer anti- cipates a bright future for his squadron, as he hopes to bj aoie to fill the ranks with capable men. pgITY SESSIONS. Friday, beiote, Messrs. J. C.
