Pleasant Saturday Night. r This weekly entertainment was held at the Coliseum on Saturday evening. There was a crowded attendance, preJided over by Mr. D. C. Roberts. At the outset the Chairman briefly addressed the meeting, and said that the committee were taking great trouble tc provide recreation for the townspeople, and they ought to be encouraged in their good work. The programme was of a miscell- aneous character,, the first item being a competition for the best impromptu speech I on A. Watch." There were four compe- titors/ and the pi'izo of 2s. 6d. was eventu- ally divided between R. T. Williams, South- road and another. The adjudica- tor of the competition were Mr. William Jones, South-road and Mr. D. M. Jones. Vocal selections were also ren- dered during the evening by Bryn Alaw and Miss Davies, and recitations by Mr J. James and Mr. Jenkins. Several brilliant cinematograph pictures were displayed on the screen by Mr. H. Hurrfphreys. During the interval the usual refreshments were partaken of. It was very gratifying to see uch a large attendance, 'which shows that "the townspeople are keenly interested in ,ijiese meetings /'Romance of the Law."—This will be the ^ubject of a lecture to be ueTIvered on Fri- day evening at "the Tabernacle Schoolroom hy Prof. T.

A Bright Entertainment.—Poole's Myrio- xama will be at the Coliseum every night next week with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, and a splendid treat is in store for the people of Aberystwyth. The show belongs to Messrs. Harry and Fred Poole, and it can be sa~v^ly said that the bill of fare to be presented will provide an enjoy- able entertainment for young and old alike. The panoramic portion of the programme contains an interesting and instructive cycle of views of the chief places of interest on the face of the globe; besides such re- cent events as the destruction of San Fran- cisco by earthquake. Chief among the variety funis is that of Richard Karsy. who introduces the giant myriophoue, of which he is the inventor. The clown, Learto. will provide merriment bv his witticisms and musical novelties, whilst the Snow Family, five in number, are eccentric knockabouts and expert skaters.. Other artistes engaged are the George French troupe of acrobatic comedy cyclists; Harry' Dowsett, a comed- larV ,a,dJ ^1SS Phi»^~St. Clare, operatic and ballad singer. Mr. Bert Gates acts as guide to the scenic effects, and also provides a fine exhibition of ventriloquism The Bioscope also shows some new and cimic animated pictures, which are considerably above the average. "Hen Lenyddiaeth y Cymru." The inaugural meeting of the Welsh Society for this session was held at the Free Library on Wednesday evening in last week, when an address was given by the President, Prof. Anwyl, the suoject of which was" Hen Lenyddiaeth y Cymru." (the Ancient Litera- ture of the Wehth). There was a large at- tendance, which augurs lyeIl for the suc- cess of the Society winter. Professor Anwyl, as usual, proved himself to be a master of his theme, and the interest of his hearers was Sustained unflagged to the end. Jsot many nations, he said, could boast that their literature was older than the Welsh Julius Caesar had said that the Druids had literature, %hich they taught to others Poetry was not unknown to the ancient Celts, ar,1d they handed it down from gen- eration to generation., Before the advent of the Romans, the art of writing was prac- tised by the inhabitants of this country. The word bardd," meaning poet, was one of the oldest words in the Oeltic languages, and the word could be found in all these languages. Its original signifiance was mynegydd. The poet held an official position in the Court. It was 00 in Howell the Good's Court. The Celtic nation was not a small nation in olden times, for it inhabitated the middle of Europe and part of Asia, and it had been discovered that the language of Galatia was similar to the one of ancient Britain. But after all, it was comparatively late when manuscripts in Welsh arrte into existence. The oIde manuscript wa^ the "LJyfr Du Caerfyrddin" written in the twelfth "entury. It was Bignificant that ir the rergious writings of the ancient Welsh, there was no inentirm I of purgatory. Of their poliev. tfie oldest was the heroic poetry, which dealt with the deeds of their heroes, and it should be. the lecturer added, the aim of poetry to kpep on record the great achievements of the i)ast. the motion of Prof. Edwards. M,A.. seconded by Mr C M Williams. the cx-Mayor, a vote of thanks was rinso^d to 1 .Professor Anwyl for his interesting address. New v. Old Theology.—A meeting of the Literary and Debating Society of the Welsn Independent Chapel, Lrtkc-r-iftrcei. was held on Wednesday evening in last week, pre- sided over by'.NIl' John Evans. coroner. The subiect of the debate was Is the New Theology superior to the Old. the affirma- tive W.KC taken h;- V. and the negative 'by Mr. Llewellyn Samuel. x 11 interesting discussion followed, in which, the Hey. Job Miles, the President, and others took part.. VeatlI of Mrs. Abraham James.—On in- day morning, the death took place at her residence, jiansel Villa), Avurth-road, of Mr*. James, widow of Mr. Abraham James, JUoiy bont, the well-known tanner. She had reached the ripe old age of 87 having been bocMi at W ileirog, Clarach, in March, 1821. Her health had been gradually failing tor the last months but it was only three days betore her demise, that she became seriously ill. Of an exceedingly bright and lovable dis- j position, she had a wide circle of friends, while she was held in the most affectionate regard by her children, grand-chiid-ren and great-gandchiidren. Of the eleven children, issue ox hex marriage, one son and six daughters survive her, the surviving son, James Watkin James, being a mining agent in Australia. Dr. Thomas James, her eldest son, died some thirty years ago, while her second son, Mr. Richard James, Broncas- tell, had also predeceased her many years a^o She was the mother of the late Coun- cillor Evan Hugh James. Her six daugh- ters are alive, and they are Mrs. John Lloyd, Mrs. Evans, Lewisham; Mrs. T. W. Powell Aberystwyth; Mrs. Watts, Kil- burn; Mrs. Rowlands. The Terrace; and Miss James, who lived with her mother. Forty grandchildren and many great-grand- children are also left to mourn after her. She was the daughter of Mr. Thomas Jones, Pent re, near Penilwyn, and had been resi- dent in this to>\n for the last fifteen years. Belonging to the Calvinistic Methodist Con- nexion, and a member at Shiloh, she could boast that her father, her husband, and three of her sons had been deacons in their respective places of worship. To Methodist ministers her home always provided a wel- come shelter, and the hospitality of the house was well-known. She was tuned m the family vault at the Pengarn Cemetery on Tuesday, when a large gathering of sym- pathisers were present. An appropriate service was conducted by the two ministers who have been her pastors, the Rev. T. E. Roberts, Shiloh, and Rev. Caron Jones, Borth. Wreaths were sent by Mrs. James and family Broncastell; Mr. and Mrs. Evans and family, Lewisham; Jim and Kitty: Alf and Holly; Miss Lewis. Bruns- wick Villa; and Mr. Howell, Cwm. The chief mourners were the following:—1st carriage, Miss James Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. James, Broncastell 2nd car- riage Mrs. Watts, Mrs. T. W. Powell. Mrs. Rowland, Mrs. E. H. James: 3rd carriage, Mr. and Mrs. Storey, the Misses Powell, Master B. Rowland; 4th carriage, T. W. Powell, J. W. James, J. S. James, Rev. T. E. Roberts; 5th carriage. The Misses James, Broncastell; Mr. D. D. James, Liverpool; Mr. E. Owen. The House of Lords.A- largely-attended meeting of the members of the Liberal Club was held on Tuesday night to discuss the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill. Councillor T. J. Samuel, the president, who was in the chair, said he trusted the Prime Minister would not take the action of the House of Lords lying down, and that he would devise some method of overcoming the difficulty with which the Liberal Party was faced.—Professor T. A. Levi moved the following resolution:— "That we. the members of the Aberystwyth Liberal Club. condemn the action of the House of Lords as being contrary to every principle of British Liberty and that we earnestly ask the Government to begin the fight against that house at the first favour- able opportunity, and to call upon the country to decide the question." The mover said he knew there was a feeling in the country in favour of a second chamber, and he did not think it would be any use trying to abolish or reform it. He also did not consider that the referendum was a satis- factory solution, nor was the proposal to create a large number of Liberal peers. The most effective remedy in his opinion was to pass a resolution limiting the veto of the Hou.se oi Lords to one session only.— Councillor D. C. Roberts seconded the re- solution, and said the government of the country was now in the hands of one man. The dictatorship of Mr. Balfour was worse than the monarchical system of Germany.— Mr. B. Taylor LI oyd. Councillor Daniel Thomas ,Mr. Griffith Williams, Mr. Thomas Lewis, Mr David Davies (Talfan). Capt. T. Doughton, and others Iso took part in the discussion.—The resolution was unanimously carried, and it was decided that copies of it be sent to the Prime Minister, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P.

Williams, Bryn-place, was charged by Supt. Jones with having been drunk and disorderly in Pier street on the 1st inst. Defendant did not appear. P.O.

. To-day's Parliament.
To-day's Parliament. MR. ASQUITH'S STATEMENT In the House of Commons to-day (Wed- nesday) the Prime Minister stated that he reserved till a, more appropriate occasion what he had to say—and he had a good deal to say—regarding the fate that had befallen the Licensing Bill in another place. The Government still hope that the Royal Assent might be given before prorogation to the Children's Bill the Scotish Education Bill, the Prevention of Crimes Bill, the Housing of Working Classes Bill, the Port of Lon- don Bill, the Eight Hours' Bill, and a num- ber of Departmental Bills. He mentioned ten Bills, amongst them the Irish Land Bill and the Town Planning Bill which must be abandoned for this Session. The two principal Bills would be introduced next Session early, and pressed forward. He, personally, was in favour of carrying over Bills from one Session to another, but the House ought to have time to fully consider the constitutional bearing of such a pro- ceeding before adopting it. He hoped pro- rogation may take place next Friday week.

neatb or Alderman Daold Roberts
neatb or Alderman Daold Roberts 'FATHER" OF THE ABERYSTWYTH TOWN COUNCIL. We regret to announce the death of Ald- erman David Roberts, the Green, Aberyst- wyth, which took place at about twelve o'clock on Sunday night. Despite his ad- vanced age—he was in his 89th year-hie end came rather unexpectedly, for he was out and about on Monday week. It is sup- posed that he caught a chill on that day, which confined him to the house on Tuesday and. Wednesday. There being no improve- ment in his condition on Thursday he took to his bed, and Dr. Harries was called in. He became unconscious on Saturday morn- ing, and remained so until he passed peace- fully away. Alderman Roberts was born at Aberyst- wvth in the year 1820, and his death re- moves practically the last remaining link which existed with the early part of the nineteenth century. In fact, no one had a better knowledge of the early history of the town than he, and Uis fund of reminiscences of old institutions and old inhabitants were most interesting and entertaining to those of later generations. He was the son of John Roberts, who owned a tanhouse in Mill-street, the site of which is now occu- pied by the Electric Light Works. This tannery business was the one which was subsequently taken over and carried on by the late Mr. Evan Hugh James. John Roberts, was one of five brothers, the others being Roderick Roberts, who was a colonel in the Bengal Horse Artillery; Thomas Roberts, who was a captain in the ltoval Engineers, and died of malaria in the West Indies; and the Rev. Richard Roberts, vicar of Stukley, Buckingham- shire (grandfather of Mr. F. R. Roberts, Penwern); and David Roberts. There were born to John Roberts three sons and three daughters, namely ,Alderman David Rob- erts, Dr. Jacob Roberts, who practised in the town as a physician and surgeon for, many years; Mr. John Roberts, Tvissa Mrs Fossett, Mrs. Roberts, Penwern; and Miss Mary Roberts, Laura-place. Alderman Roberts out-lived all his brothers and sisters. It will thus be seen that few families can claim so long a connection with the town as that of the Robertses, as their genealogy can be traced back far into the eighteenth century. Alderman Roberts received his early edu- cation at a school kept by a Miss Morris, near Windmill Court. Later he went away to England for a further course of instruc- tion. He was intended for the banking profession, and entered the local branch of the National Provincial Bank, then under the management of the late Mr. David Jones. One of his fellow-clerks at that time was the late Joseph Downie, the founder of the munificent bequest for the poor of the town, which bears his name. He left Aberystwyth to take up a position in Smith, Payne, and Smith's Bank, Lon- don, where he remained for a few years. He was, however, not enamoured with the banking profession, and when quite a young man he went on a voyage to Wellington, New Zealand. This adventure—for adven- ture it certainly was in those days-afforded him the opportunity of seeing many parts of the world. On returning to his native shores he made his way back to Aberyst- wyth, and about the year 1844-he being then 24 years of age-he acquired the 'busi- ness of maltster and corn merchant at Tre- fechan, and carried on by Mr. James Davies, of Ffosrhydgaled. That wag at a time when almost everybody brewed their own beer. As time went on the custom of making ''home-brewed" became less and less gen- eral, and Mr. Roberts, in addition to sup- plying malt, also began to supply beer. The brewing business increased, and has since, with the assistance of his sons, developed into an important and extensive undertak- ing. In 1897 the business was converted into a private company. Alderman Rob- erts retired at about that time, and his two sons, Capt. G. Fossett Roberts and Mr. Henry Roberts, became directors. The company owns a large number of tied houses in Aberystwyth and throughout North Cor- diganshire. Alderman Roberts had a unique record of service as a public man. He was the father of the Town Council, having become a member as far back as 1864, when he was returned unopposed in company of Mr. Richard Roberts (father of Mr. D. C. Rob- erts), Mr. T. 0. Morgan, and Mr. John Matthews. He was also a member of the old Town Commissioners, a much more import- ant body m those days. The Town Council had not then become the enterprising and aggressive body that we know it, for its meetings were only held once a quarter. Since his election in 1864, Mr. Roberts con- tinued his membership of the Council un- broken up to the time of his death, and the last meeting he attended was on November 26th last. He was elected alderman in 1879, and continued to hold that office ever since. He was twice elected Mayor of the borough, the first time being in November, 1877, when he continued in office for two years. He was elected for another year in Novem- ber, 1890. Alderman Roberts took a keen interest in the development of the town as a watering-place, and at all times sup- ported schemes which aimed at making the place more attractive to visitors. The Har- bour also claimed his special attention, and the last time he spoke at the Town Council was to advocate the appointment of a special committee to manage and safeguard that undertaking. He was also a magis- trate for the borough, having been ap- pointed in March, 1880, those who were elevated to the bench at the same time being Mr. Thomas Griffiths, Dr. Rice Williams, and Mr. David Williams, Market-street Alderman Roberts remembered; Aberyst- wyth when it was less than half its present dimensions. He could remember the time when the Harbour was the scene of a flourish- ing export industry. Thousands of tons of lead ore were carried away yearly, and the harbour dues amounted to about t3,000 per annum. Mr. Roberts was a keen disciple of Isaac Walton. Up to recently he had attended meetings of the otter hounds and a short time ago snucceeded in catching 3 fine salmon in the Teify. He also remembered a time when the rivers Ysbwyth and Rheidol were full of trout and salmon, anW he had I himself caught many a salmon in the Rihietiddl e-a" Trefelchan Bridge. He lis one of the few surviving members of the old Smoky Face Club, said to be the oldest club in the kingdom, but which was dis- club in the kingdom, but which was dis- banded in 1884. The membership of this remarkable club, which, it is said, was first I formed in the reign of Queen Anne, was restricted to twenty-one. It was of a j social character chiefly, and members who < neglected to attend the weekly meetings of the club were liable to a fine, the money thus adcumuilated, lit-ingi used as1 a wine fund at the annual feast. One interesting story is told of the Smoky Face Club. At one of their annual dinners the closing time arrived before the toast list had been com- pletted. Rather than terminate the con- vivality in an abrupt manner, some of the members present who were magistrates themselves, drew up and signed an exten- sion of time in the dining room. The matter was made the subject of a question in the House of Commons, and the magistrates who signed the extension were called upon for an explanation. Ifc is said that this particular case led to an amendment of the Act in regard to the granting of extensions of time to licensed houses. The Club also possessed a historic1 snuff-box, the gift of Mr. Edward Carbery Pryse, a member of the Gogerddan family. This snuff-box, which bears a Latin inscription recording the gift, was once lost, but was found again in a second-hand dealer's shop at Chester, and restored to the Club by Mr. H C. Taylor, btother-in-law of Mr. A. J. Hughes. It is believed that the box is now in the possession of the executors of the late Major Bassett Lewis, who was the last ap- pointed secretary rf the Club. Another of Mr. Roberts' reminiscences was the making nf the old coach road through Ponterwyd. He was also at the breakfast at the open- ing of the hotel, now the University Col- lege. Mr. Roberts married Miss Hannah Maria I Shaw, a daughter of Mr. Oliver Shaw, of Birmingham, whose death in November, 1905, was deeply regretted in the town There was issue of the marriage five sons and two daughters, namely, Mrs. Griffiths, wife of Dr. Griffiths, Lampeter; Mr. OliverL Roberts, Dursloy, Gloucestershire; Mrs. Roberts, wife of Dr. Edward Roberts, t Manchester; Mr. David Roberts, N. P. Bank, Tamworth; Capt. Geo. Fossett Rob- erts, and Lieutenant Henry Roberts, Aber- ystwyth and Mr. Daniel R. Roberts, en- gineer, Calcutta. Mrs. Roberts died three years ago, on the 2nd November, 1905. The funeral will take place this (Thurs- day) afternoon, leaving the Green at 2.15 for the cemetery.
.. ABERAYKOJN.
ABERAYKOJN. County School Governors.—At a meeting of County School Managers held on Satur- day, Major Price Lewes (chairman), Messrs Morgan Evans, E. Lima Jones, J. H. Howell and Dr. Davies referred to the proposal to hand over the appointment of the Head Teachers o fCounty Schools from the respec- tive Local Managers to the keeping of a county oligarchy of eight superior persons- The consideration of the matter was adn journed. DISTRICT 0OUN*CTL. A meeting of the Council was held on Friday. Present: Councillors D Pennant James (chairman); D. Griffiths (vice-chair- man), D A Davies, W Edwards, John G. Rees! John J Davies, D R Davies, H Dav- ies, G Edwin Davies, Messrs B C Jones (clerk), and B E Howell (surveyor). A letter was read from a firm respecting the fire extinguishing appliances asked for by the Council, and the Chairman asked Mr Henrv Davies who had been done in the matter.—Mr Henry Davies: If you ask me its the fault of the Surveyor.—The Survey- or: I never had instructions to order any- thing.—The Olerk: One was sent down on approbation and was not approved of.—The matter [was referred, to :the Light Com- mittee. The Station. Mr W L Thomas proposed that the resolu- tion of the Public meeting fixing the Sta- tion in Cae Bont be adopted. Md John J Davies seconded, and it was agreed to. Loan.. A letter was read from the Yorkshire Penny Bank, declining with thanks to en- tertain the application of the Council for a loan on the security of the rates, which the Council intend advancing towards the Rail- way. The Prudential Assurance Company wrote offering the money at 4 per cent. if made at once. The Chairman thought the rate of interest Mas high and lie thought local money could be secured at 3! per cent. A committee was formed to negotiate for the loan. Public Works Report. 5JV John G. Rees brought in the report of the Public Committee, which re- commended the fnlI01ri11 0; That the tender of Messrs Fowell and Son for cement for completing the reservoir be accepted at 2 guineas per t^n. The Surveyor bavin(y reporter) tbnt he lq(1, further communicated with the Steam Roller Company and had obtained their lowest quotation, which was 23s. per day for a fortnight's work, The Committee authorized him to secure the services at once. That the tender of Messrs. J D Lloyd and Sons. Aeron Monumental Works for 156 feet of 3 inch glazed earthen ware pipes at 3d. per foot be accepted. Mr Rees explained that the original tenders was for 2 inch pipes but the Committee found it would be advisable to lay a 3 inch pipe. The report was adopted. The Surveyorship. The Chairman called upon Mr. Henry Davies to move the motion which stood in his name. Mr Henry Davies stated he had almost for- gotten it, but it was quite evident to all present that with the proposed street im- provements, sanitary arrangements, and drainage. Although he had nothing against Mr B E Howell and he liad-(Oh)- but he advocated] the appointment of a qualified man, an engineer and architect. (Hear, hear, and laughter). Mr. Childs was that man—(Cries of Oh !-and he want- ed simply to be paid for what he did. Mr W Edwards: Why an architect? He is always on his own and generally paid on commission on contract. Mr Edwin Davies: Why mention Mr. Child, if we want an officer we must adver- tise for one. .n ,< Mr D. Griffiths: Is he a decoy "child. (Loud laughter.) Mr J J Davies: A move to get the thin end of the wedge in. The Chairman: May I suggest to you Mr Da vies- Mr .Edwin Davies: To sit down. (Laugh- ter.) Mr Henry Davies was again on his feet, but Mr' Edwin Davies protested, saying that as he had no seconder he bad no right of a second speech. The motion then feel through.
------"'----FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL MONTGOMERY AND DISTRICT LEAGUE. ABERYSTWYTH v. TOWYN. Towyn 3 goals. Aberystwyth 0 SUlldilanu Park! This euphonious name will conjure up a woeful bye-gone in the minds of the eleven persons who did duty for the University town on Saturday last. A little etymology would not be out of place here. Unless we are hopelessly mistaken, Sandiland Park has been so called because of the sandy nature of that piece of ground, where the muddied oafs' ot Towyn indulge in their little games. But if Kipling came to Towyn, or better still, if he were a native of that storm-swept place, and had never seen any footballers beyond its confines, he would have no occasion to label this tribe in such an execrable manner as he did, for the soil of Sandiland Park is possessed of such properties that it quickly recovero it- self, and is nearly ahvays in the best of conditions. If a heavy roller could be passed over it. it being uneven. almost in every part, it would become quite an ideal ground. There was a strong wind blowing the length of the field on Saturday, and having advantage of this in the first half, Towyn managed to put in three goals. That the first was put through his own net by Tommy Rees, the Aberystwytli captain, and the third scored from a penalty, does not in the least detract from the merits of the home team's victory, for in the second "forty- five" they were several times within an ace of scoring, the post, on one occasion, being the only impediment to Harry Jones finding the net with a terrific shot. J. D. Jonet, after previously having struck the post, was the scorer of Towyn's second goal, and Harry Jones the one who registered the penalty. Green, it was who had handled in the area of woe, having succumbed to a sore temptation. When Tommy Rees tapped the ball through hs own goal, he evidently meant to put it to bis custodian for the [ latter to fclear. This season, an unique I thing in his football career, for he has not been guilty of it before, a penalty has been awarded against him and he has put the ball through his own net. But he is an ex- cellent player, and an excellent sportsman, and it will be a long time in the annals of the Aberystwyth Club before a coin peer of his will be found. In the absence of Man- sell Jenkins, he played asr right back on Saturday, and acquitted himself well. There were further changes in the visiting team, Jack Jones and Billy Jones, who have both appeared in the forward line earLer in the season, filling the right half and left half positions respectively. The forward line from left to right ri!d thusWright, Bert Jones, Albert Lloyd, Johnnie Jones., J. Warrington. Changed every week, as the team is, not only in personnel, but posi- tions also exchanged, it has had no time to settle down, and until this consummation is attained, its star will not be in the as- cendant. These changed are detrimental, I but they are also necessary, for it is only by cons-derable experimenting, shall the ( C.ub obtain the survival of the fittest. The Towyn defenders were too experienced men to let the light forward brigade of the visitors do much harm. Gladstone Davies and Pryce Evans played finely, the latter scarcely making a mistake. Dr. Davies is addicted to kissing the earth, but lie can run surpassingly well, and can sometimes miss his kick in an equally delightful manner. The pick of the Town quintet were Harry Jones and Harry Edwards. It was a vig- orous game, and Towyn were good value for another three goals. The teams< were:— Aberystwyth: J D. Davies; O. Green, T.

-¡. MACHYNLLETH. County Court. The bi-monthly County Court was held on Saturday, before his Honour Judge William Evans. There were no cases of publ-c interest. The Institute. Several new members have been enrolled by the selection Com- mittee during the last few days. It is well for the Institute that it should be so, for gossip has it even on the house-tops that several prominent members of the Old In- stitute are shaky in their views on the ad- vantages and dis-advantages of a Home for oneself. Signs are not wanting to corrob- orate these disquieting rumous, both inside the Institute and outside of it. These old stagers have been found lately buried in deep study of a free copy of that little paper—" Homle-which is sent to such places for the special use of those prosper- ous young artisans and others who are tempted to abandon the chorus of social clubs for the quiet duet of a Building Soc- iety's "Home" It is to be sincerely hoped that this fit of nerves will soon pass away, leaving the ranks of "those Institute boys" unbroken. I'jootball.—Machynlleth expected Caersws last Saturday, but that Cup team failed to put in an appearance, and in consequence of that the afternoon was. an open one. Further enquiry proves that the Captain and Secretary of the Machynlleth team knew nothing of any fixture with "Bortli Reserves." When it was mentioned to them they squinted a bit as if in deep thought, but it was evidently a sign of quiet merri- ment. they did not say much, but they hinted that it was not quite so dark in the football line as Machynlleth, that they had cto arrange a home-and-home with "Borth Reserves. Whether Borth failed to whip up their best eleven is another question, and a matter for the Borth Committee, but if they fail to do so then they must count it a defeat at the hands of a team quite worthy of their finest stars. The game was a well-contested one, and the return match at Machynlleth will, doubtless, be one of the best matches of the season on the home ground. Golf.—On Saturday afternoon eight New- town men stepped on the T at Bowling Green to play eight sturdy men and true I from Machynlleth. The afternoon was fine and the course was in a very fair condition. I It is gradually recovering from the be- ginner's rut which played such havoc with I it when the days were longer. Perhaps this might be added to the list of advan- tages laid to the credit of winter in our country golf turf has a chance to recover during the dark evenings. Machynlleth had two other pawns on the greens, and on that day's form it is well for TsTewtown that their two last men scratched at the last minute. The "Home Secretary" reports that there was shome heavy scoring done that day. As it was, Machynlleth just managed to come out "all square." Mr. J. G. Jenkins (capt.), Mr. Thomas ,L. and P. Bank; Dr. A. O. Davies and Captain Fuller, who inflicted his only defeat of the season on his oppon- ent, —Mr. S. Powell—scoring the units for I the home team. Mission.—Miss Rosina Davies, home mis- sioner to the Congrgational Union of Wales, conducted a. series of meetings at Graig Chapel. Miss Davies is a well-known evenagelist and her power as a missioner is proved by the huge crowds which throng to hear her evening after evening. It is to be hoped that her powerful, earnest, sincere sermons, will leave a very marked effect upon this town. Protest Meeting.—On Sunday afternoon at five o'clock a public meeting was held at Graig Chapel to protest against the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill of the Government. There was a large gathering, although the hour was an inconvenient one, and the meeting had been summoned at a very short notice. Mr. T. R. Morgan was voted to the chair and he introduced the meeting as a religious gathering to uphold the friends of practical religion and moral reformers in their at- tempt to stem the wave of intemperance which threatens to submerge not a tenth- "the submerged tenth"—but the mass of our people. The Rev. D. H. Hughes, put the resolution before the meeting in an ex- ceedingly clear fashion, showing how the issue was not a mere party one, to pass away at the coming of another election, but a question of the salvation of the people against the dividends of the unfeeling finan- cier the cry of the people was to be disre- garded for the tinkling of the shekels; the moral forces of the country have been scorn- fully brushed aside by the Lords, and their sons in the interests of shares in breweries. The Rev. Josiah Jones seconded the resolu- tion saying that no man regarded with greater jealousy than he. the sanctity of the house of God, but that in no wise could he remember an occasion on which the sacred- ness of its use was greater than at that hour when they had met together to pro- test before God against the action of the House of Lords in barring the progress of true religion in the interest of political purposes. Let no man lose heart; the Lords of England might conspire together to thwart the cause of Righteousness but thev could not succeed—the Lord of Hosts will surely arise and scatter His enemies. The motion was supported bv Mr. H. Meredith Roberts, who as a solicitor in the town will be a force in the political life of the place in the future. In a rbort address he mad" me withering remarks on the conduct of the irresponsible Lords of England. The motion wa. carried with enthusiasm, and the Rev. Josinh Jones closed the meeting with the Benediction. P.S.E.P.-—The attendance at the third meeting of this series was close upon four hundred and fifty, a full hall. The weather was beautifully fine at the early stages of the evening—unlike the weather on the I previous occasions, the attendance is clearly not an outcome of the Machynlleth climate. The entertaining nature of the programme I is what draws the great crowd, a genuine bargain—a florin concert for a mere copper— and a social evening and a soiree for a couple of pence; the demand is really so great that the "Young Women's" must ser- iously think of "Tariff" Reform. The pro- gramme on Saturday night was almost en- tirely musical. Miss Jane Jones, Council School was accompanied. The chairman was Mr. n. Gillart. J.P., who took the place of his brother, Mr. R Gillart, the new Town Clerk, who was unable to be present. Mr. Gillart was very emphatic in his apprecia- tion of this nioi,ement, and confessed him- self simply astounded at the sight of such a I crowd as he saw before him; he promised To do all that he could to aid the Committee in the good work which they were, doing. On the proposition of Mr. Edward Morgan, seconded by Mr. Tom Powell, who had pre- pared the programme for the evening a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman. In the Impromptu speech com- petition, Mr. Jack Jenkins was exceedingly severe on chained suffragettes; what would [ he have said if ho had heard of the dog- whop? Mr. D. Mason was highly favour- J able to the claims of deserving women until fif-mo unsympathetic way reminded him of I Uw Widvv fach Ian I wass see in the tren —then they fell. Mr. W. Pierce Evans, a moving spirit in this movement—the Satur- I day night entertainment one, not the suffragette commotion, described graphically how them try to rush Parliament and j how&ome stout Machynlleth lads quaked j in the crowd. Mr. Owen Morris, the pen- nillion singer, for the evening was also an I eye-witness of the same event, but he thought the sight was far from atttractive. The prize was divfSed between Mr. Jack Jenkins and Mr. G. F. Roberts.
PENNANT.
PENNANT. Death and Funeral.-I, is with deep sorrow that we have to announce the death of Captain Lewis, which took place on Thursday, December 3rd, after a long and painful illness, at the advanced age of 80 years. Capt Lewis spent a good portion of his life at sea. Then he went into business in London, and only returned to his native neighbourhood a few years ago. He was not allowed to enjoy his well-earned retirement for long before he was seized by his fatal I illness, 0 which he bore with wonderful patience and resignation. The funeral took place on Tuesday week, and was largely at- tended by friends and neighbours from far and near. A short service was held at the house, when the Rev. T. D. Thomas, Llanon, and Rev. J. Evans, Abermeurig, officiated, At the church and graveside the Revs. D. W. Davies, Cilcenin, and E. Evans, Hen- t fynyw, took the service. Captain Lewis will be greatly missed by his family, and also ) by the church at Pennant, of which he was a faithful member and officer. The chief mourners were Mrs. Lewis, widow, Miss Lewis, Mrs. Morgans and Mrs. Edwards, daughters; The Rev. J. Lewis, Pencarreg. MYDROILYN. Funeral.—On Tuesday, December 1st, the remains of Mr. David Lewis, 114, Lambrtli Walk, London, were laid to rest in the grave- yard adjoining the Congregational Chapel. Mr. Lewis had left his native place when young, and spent his time in business in Lopdon, where he was very successful in his trade. His genial face and gentlemanly appearance will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a faithful member of the Congregational Church,fi London and was held in high esteem by both minister and congregation. The remains, accom- panied by the widow, Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. Thomas, London, a great friend of de- ceased, arrived at Mydroilyn just before two o'clock. A great number of people from the district were present to pay their last respects to one that was dear to all. A short and impressive service was held at the chapel. The Rev. J. T. Parry, Cilcennin. read a portion of scripture and offered prayer. Short addresses were given by Rev. T. D. Thomas, Llanon, Mr. Morgan Evans, Oakford, and Rev. E. Davies (Powys). LIanon. Revs J. T. Parry and T. D. Thomas officiated at the graveside. After the sing- ing of "Bydd mvrdd o ryfeddodau," etc, the crowd dispersed. The greatest sympathy is p 1. felt for Mrs. Lewis who is a native of Llanon. and her young daughter in their great and unexpected loss. Beautiful wreaths were placed on the grave, one of which was en- dorsed "In loving memory of a happy mar- ried life, from his wife and child, M. J. Lewis and M. E. Lewis." The others were from "Otto Monstead, Limited," Misses F!v[>ns. Llonan, and Mrs. Hughes, Holloway.

FACTS AND FANCIES.
FACTS AND FANCIES. THE ANTIQUITF OF BEIXS. In the remotest ages we learn of instrumenin that were made to yie'.d musical notes when struck with metal clappers, and the namee of those instruments are nearly always translated as bells. It is uncertain, however, whether the golden bells which are bed in the Bible as being worn by Aaron were anything but ornaments of some sort which jangled with the high priest's walk. China seems to have been the first country in which large bells were used. The bell called the justice bell was affixed to the wall above the head of the government. The rope attaohed to it was about a mile in length, and was Wt lying along tho thoroughfare—a great temptation to those who had sustained any fancied injury. The Emperor himself had such a bell placed above his head. but anyone who rang it without good cause was beaten. No bells wore used by the first Christians. That was duo to the fa°t that they were so per secuted by the hea'Y'ti they did not dare attract too much public notice. Church bells have even had miraculous powers ascribed to them. In the year 610 the beeic-ging army of Clo- thaire II. was frightened away by the 'bells of St. Stophei's Church, in Sens. Bolls which are washed nith holy water, are supposed to drive away storms and to terrify evil spirits. Bells were used oy all sorte of small merchants who drove carts through the Erects, in which their wares worn displayed, and, in fact, it is only, a little while since the last of theee departed from our own streets.

« CHOOSTNG A HUSBAND. She had been put in the charge of the captain, and she was the biggest success on the liner in the voyage out. With seventeen lovers to choose from. she wo,,f ,i^r- chaperon for ndvice. The captain considered the situation, finally sug- gesting that she should jump overboard. It's nice and calm," he added, seeing some reluct- ance on her part: and voti could choose the one who jumps after you." Unfortunately, ii*- to^n of them jumped after her; so. no as she had curled h"" hair, she c-gair nonsuited liie captain. "Oh, tlint's quite simple," he said; take the dry one." WOMEN* AXD HYPOCRIS*. I 'VOIEX AXD HYPOCRIS't. It is a curious faet. remarks the Spectator, that there are no notable hypocrites among the women of tilat there are very few m real life. :0 :;¡r a,; our experience goes—and an experience backed by a literature cannot be an isolated .,Cc is a fault from which women are prac-fiVally free. Their freedom is t'i<\ erire remarkable because women a.re iof frank. There j", however, a vast differenco between want of frankness and hvpo- crisy. The design of the hypocrite must always be self-int^r<^Te;l, and, moreover, his part must be consistently sustained. A liar need net be a. hypocrite. although a hypocrite can hardly avoid being a liar. But he lr.u.^t do more than iie. He must leici a faho life—i- specially bad life under cover of an ostensibly good one. It is possible to IK? secretive with a good purpose, and even with a ;ood purpose to make a certain amount of pretence. The benevolent self-control of the best women is apt to run to excess, and to result in their hiding all those feelings, opinions, and even plans, which militate airainst the peace of the 'moment. The feminine mind finds it difficult to distinguish between complete openness and selfish brutality. They forgive bluntness in a man, if they like him, but never in a woman, whether they like her or not. I 1

A TEA-PARTY IX JAPAN. At a Japanese tea-party the guests sit on' cushions placed upon the floor, and the tea ser- vice consists of a teapot, a cooling pot, teacups, and a stove to heat the water. The Japanese, instead of pouring boiling water over the tea as we do, pour the water into a cooler, and then on to the tea, which is allowed to steep for a few minutes. Boding water is then added, and the cups filled. Oreen tea is used, but no sugar or cream is added. «
RELATIONS OF NOSE AXD BKAIN.
RELATIONS OF NOSE AXD BKAIN. The nose was believed by the ancients to be a kind of wastepipe by which superfluous liquid' was discharged from the brain: hence a cold was looked upon a provision for the cleansing of tho brain. It was not, the British Medical Journal tells us, till the middle of the seven- teenth century that this errm- was finally dis- pelled by Conrad Victor Schneider, who shewed that the source of the discharge in nasal catarrh was not the ventricles of the brain, but the mucous membrane which now bears his name. In L The notion that the nose is a conduit for the es- cape of humours from the brain survived almost. to our own day. It was pleaded as a justifica- tion for the vile habit of snuff-taking that it helped to clear The brain, and in old days the profundity of a theologian was measured by the amount of snuff that lay in folds on the front of his cassock. Napoleon, it is well known, carried snuff in the capacious pockets of his waistcoat, and his example used to be quoted by snuffers.
