IIorna.brook, pres'ident-elect of the Wesleyan oonferenoe, and the HBY. T. Gand Hartley* of Liverpool- chairman of the North Wales Wear levan Metliodisfc district. A STRIKING EULOGY. Hie address was delivered by the Rev. F. W. Macdlonald, ex-president of tllie Wesleyan Con- ference. He said it was with very distinct sor- row that, they found themselves assembled there that d"y. Ixxs than four days before Mr Osborn iva6 apparently in his usiial health, with no SigIlú of imponiling change, still lees for the greatest change of all. It was true he was no loniger young, but it was equally true that he was not old. He had before him the prospect ot" the labour of life being lightened. Arrange- ments had been made gratifying to Icun as a father and 145 one who had cherished with the deepest affection the interests of the school over which he presidled, and the prospect was fair for the mellon cvenbide of' life. &ekkml had a man mote richly deserved, if one might so s-peak, a calm and gracious eventide than he. and he possessed many of the qualifications for enjoying it--a well-stared mind, a large experience, a character ripened and matured both in matters of human knowledge and understanding, and m those that were highest and holiest. lie would have been in a position in which he would trtiil find it possible to exercise his great gifts' and' beautiful c'laaraoter to the service of God and II)im. But God ha.d d'itipoeed otherwise, "It is not for us to know the times nor the season which the Father has set in His own authority." Imtsad of the even-tide to whioh he looked for- ward Cod had given him tihe nwr'ning—without the pain and the shadow known to some of thern when man's work below was done. I had seen fit to say "Come." and "he rose and went." In Mr Geiboa-n, as the root of character, there was a steady and aewured faith which had glided him through life. From a child1 ho "knew Holy Scripture;" from his youth up he had feared God. His oarlv vows were kept through life- 11 iiS faith broadened and deepened with years, a.nd in that faithi he labouied and 9ie.dl Mr Oiborn's posiLon in relation to the Christian Church was a Aery helpful and fruitful one. He combined' as few men had been ab!o to com- bine, dovotion and fidelity to church; lie Conl- bined fidelity to 100<11 interests with a devotion to those larger inteicsts of his church. Ho shared in its counsels and in all good works could always be relied upon. Mr Osborn was PRE-EMINENTLY A SCHOOLMASTER, a great schoolmaster, one of those to whom Iris profession disclosed itself to him in its noblest aapccts. To him it was a culling of God. He accepted and took its burdtms and discipline t,h.-mu-gla lile; be gave hinnwif to it in its Divine&t asipeot. Theie was liardly auny C'tfnstian ministry to bo com,ps.ix>d with that of the wise and thoughtful teaohinig of tilie young. Mr Osborn's memorial ooiild ne'ver be localised. It was to be found to-day in hundreds of lives in aJI departments of society. He had a great and widely scattered ooiwlitucney of his "old bore. Some of them were located in the T'O- motest parts of the British Empire. There were many who would learn in the oouroa of a post or two that their old mastw—tihe "head" as they loved to call him—had gone, and' they would think kindly and reverently of hian; would turn to one -no&,or with anecdote and reminiscence of tlie old days at historic Kings- wood or in much-loved Rydal Mount, for he was much loved as tlieir teadlier, guardian, and friend. Suoh men were not produced at any time in great numbers. Thoy were God's best gifts to His Uhuroh a.nd to a Christian com- munity. After referring ts> the sxiddonnes^ of "the call," and expreft^ng" a fc-w sentences of symjKithy with tihe bv-cuk-ed family. 1)1. Mac- donald (who had been on uoruis of warm friend- s:hip witli Mr Osiborn for many j-ears). turned in tihe direction of the bier, and, in broken accents, remarked, "Dear friend, thou airt gone; yet a Kttle while and we sliall rrieet aigaiii." As the body was onee more boine to the hearse, the congregation rose, and the organ pented out the imjH-cswive strains of the "Dead March." The burial afterwards took place privately at LtandriJlo. The Itcv. F. W. Macdonald oflicda- ted, and the cihiaf mourners present were Mr G. F. A. Obborn and Mr J. W. Oshorn (.seens). and the Rov. J. Osborn (brother). The funeraJ arrangements were carried out by Meters J. Dickem and ;en»- THE MAGISTRA'lES' TRIBUTE. At the Police Court earlier in the day, Mr Kneesihaw, the senior magistrate, stated that t.he town and Beneh had s'tustained a great loss in the sudden- dleath of their esteemed- colleague Mr T. G. Osborn. Mr Cfeborn had given bhe court valuable assistance in the magis-terial work. He was of modest anl retiring d'ijqxjsdtLon, and, his character and ablit-les, would have made him a. prominent personality in any place in which he resided, and his removal would be deeply felt by all. He was one of tihe pioneers of the place, and the school he founded there had become one of the well-known institutions of the land. In concluding, Mr Knoeslhaw nsoved that the clerk be instructed to convey the sincere condolence of the court to Mr Osborn's widow and family. Mr Amphlett, the clerk. said lie deelrecl to associate himself witih tihe vote. of condolence. Mr Francis Nunn aJso joined in tihe expression on beibalf of the Bar. Mr Cfeborn's was a most lovable aharaoter, he said, not only amongst his family and friendls, but with all with whom he came in contact. Sujxerintendent Beresford, for the police, hav- i.n ako spoken. The Chairman announced that tihe funeral of Mr Osborn was about to take place, and the magistrates present pr(I-A,,d to attend the I funeral service. The court would tlierefore be adjourned until one o'clock. PULPIT INFERENCES. Rüieronc-e., to the death of Mr Oaborn were made at moat of the churches tn Uolwyn Bay on Sunday. At the English Wesleyan Churohes, special sermons were preached, bearing indirectly upon the loss which the connexion has sustained through tihe death of Mr O-iborn. Dr. Workman oooupicd tie pulpit at St. John'e in the morning, and proaohed a touching sermon on tlie wonfe "I heard a voioe from Heaven saying, blessed are they that die in the Lord, for they do rest from their labours." In tilie evening, the Rev. F. J. Biggs, pastor of the church, preached, selecting has text from St. Peter i. dealing with "the inheritance incor- ruptible." The Nantyglyn Church was draped: in mourn- ing, tlh-e late Mr Osborn having been treasurer of the ohurdh trust, and the Rev. T. E. Free- man preached from the text, John ii. 35-36, "Jesus Wept.

SEQUEL TO A BETTWS-Y-COED…
SEQUEL TO A BETTWS-Y- COED ACCIDENT. DEATH OF A MELIDEN MAM. AIxLEGED RUPTURE THEOUGH LIFTING A. BARREL. SeranaJ curious points were raiaed on Satur- day, at am inquest held at MeLiden" by Mr F. Ll. Jones, coroner, on the body of W. Griffithfl, aged 61, who died on the 5th inst., ae the oef- sult, it wa-s stated, of an accident whale work- ing in the Glyn Mine, Bettrvveycoed, in Febru- ary, 1909. Mr Thomas Moxham Edwards was the foreman juror. Mr Holland Roberts ap- peared for the widow, and Mr J. Pieroe Lewaa tor the mine owaetre and insuraince company. Sarah Jane Jonee, a relattive, identified the body, and. 6" the deceaiied was 61 years of 3g, isnd had rceidod at the C.M. Chapel iiou&e, MeLiden. lie had worked m a mine at Bettwsycoed, and came home ill on February 8th, l'JOy. He was pnactieally ladd up from that time until ihis death. In reply to Mr Pieroe Lewis, witness said &he womld be surprised to find that the man had worked for two days after the aecidemt; &hq had nevea- heard of it. He was not an m-d ootr J pa.tient at the infirmary. She did not know what he was doing at the mine, but she thought he was a lead washer. Mr Rabeirts said he was prepared to admit that the man did attempt to work for two days alter the accident. Johnson CIiadNvick, engineer, Giouiu;t-stroet, Rhyl, .said he had worKcxl with the debased at the Mine, Beit w.syeoed, and remem- Ixsred the day of the aookjent. He was rift- ing a 36-gallon cask of petroleum on tho still- age, and oakod the deceased to put his haaud on it to balance it. Witness got one end on tho stallage, and then lifted up the other coid. He being tlie "heavy man" took all the v,eight, and was u&ed to getting casks in awkwaa-d coinctrs. D-reeastd had to put hda ltand on the oa&k to £ =U<ady it, aaid did not lift it at all. Three days afterwards deocascd complained to the foreman (witness' father-in- law, Mr F. Jones, oi Rhyl), that he thought he had hurt himself, and had paias in his stomach. Dec-cased thought ho had hurt him- self when he assisted to lift the barrel. Mr Jones persuaded hiim not to go home, but to wait until a,11 the men went to Rhyl. De- ooascd, ho believed, wont home -by an earlier train, but worked regularly from the time of the barrel being put on tho stildage until h<\ w,c.n t home. Deeea&ed was working as a labourer, and not as a load miner or washer, there being nothing done with the lead. In reply to Mr Holland Roberts, witness said tlie defeased was kept on to assist gener- ally. When he complained oi the pains in has stomach, he immedLately followed the stafte- ment by saying he thought it was due to hia having lifted the ea.-sk. He d-ccaied that de- ceased ciid any lifting, or that he was not in a natural po.itkvn. He had only to put his hamd on t.hc cask, and it did not neoessarilyl fow t-hat ho had to stretch his legs. ceased was not pulling over the cask. A question was raised at this point as to whether the deceased w-aa engaged lead, washing or dressing, and Mx Roberts said he would admit that h-2 was not lead dix^ssing at the time of the aecidient. Dr. Batten WlltUajna, Prestatyn, said he was called to see tho deceased, who was suffering from violent pains, and was voanitiing. He examined the man, and found that he had a rupture, which was not present when he had previously attended him. I)eoca»ad told hinp that he had hdpcd to lift a barred at the works, and that although he had felt some pa.in at the time he remained at work as he dud not like to lose Iris job. There were symptoms of the deceased being injured in several ways, and those injuries coin called with a man having Lifted a weight. It was possible for a man to be ruptured as dcoeoaed was without there beting other injuries. lie. might not at the time l'eel anything, but day by day he would get woroct. Owing to the rupture, catarrh of the bowels set in, amd eventually brought on a form of gastritis, which led to hemorrhage, and to the man's death. Replying to .the Coroner, the doctor said it was difficult to -told how some ruptures were caused. Deeeased attributed his whtxie trouble to the Lifting of the cask. Mr Pierce Lewis said the man died from gastritis. Was not that the immediate cause of death? Dr. Williams replied that it was a delight- fully vague term. A lengthy cross-examination of the doctor followed as to liow ruptures were caused. It was contended that they could be caused naturally, and this the doctor admitted, but said t.hait they occurred when there was very rapid wastage—not however in the type of Ill.3In the deceased was: he couM not see how a rupture oould occur in the decea.-ed without strain or aceident. Ruptures could be Caused by chronic indigestion. Ho had attended the deceased often for trivial complaints, and he had complained of his digestion. Mr Pierce Lewis proceeded to examine thie doctor as to a report the made to the insurance company in July, when asked to examine the deceased for the company. He said he looked upon it as a compliment that he had been asked to act as doctor both for the employer and employee. Questioned as to whether he had not stated in the report that he was under the lmpre J- sion that the man had had appendicitis, tie doctor said he did not think so. The Coioaer asked that the report be put ■in, and Mr Pieroe Lewis then read it. In the report the doctor stated that lie had waited until the man had finished his treatment at the Denbighshire Infirmary, and then un- fortunately he became ill with what appeared to be appendicitis. However, the man was better, and he had examined him. That ex- k aminatiou showed he had had a rupture, but there was IjI) sign of inflammation. The man would not, in his opinion, be able to work for itwelve months. He was a decent ma.n, and ap- peared anxious to become well. He had no reason to believe that the rupture was caused by anvtliin,, other than the way the man had described. In reply to the Coroner, it was stated ithait the dee eased had received compensation on the wages of a labourer from the time of the accident until his death. In summing up, the Coroner said the jury had to dismiss from their minds any thought that they were there to decide the question of compensation between the widow and the company. All they hod to do was to ascer- tain the cause of death. He migh/t say, how- ever, that often in those cases the whole of the evidonoc was gone into, and the way that evi- den GO was given generally decided the par- ties as to the course to be adopted in any question of compensation. On the m>cdicaJ evidence, coupled with the evidence of Mr Ohadwick, he thought it raised a strong prey- sumption that death was due to injuries re- ceivod in some way or other. It was a com- siderable time since the incident occurred, but the jury had the fact admitted that from the day deceased left work right up to his death compensation had been paid, and those who investigated the matter at the time were satisfied that there was a strong presumption of an accident. In view of the fact, coupled with Mr Chad wick's evidence, he did not think the jury need have any hesitation in coming' to the conclusion that the rupture was due to am injury sustained by the deceased in the course of his employment. The jury unanimously returned a verdict tha.t deceased died from errosive gastritis, due to a rupture caused by injuries accidentally sustained in lifting A barrel in the course of his employment. A vote of condolence with tlie ividow was also passed.

IS YOUR SKIN I)ISI,'IGUP-iED? Covered with Mattery Pimples. Zam-Buk ends a Common Spring Complaint. Pimples, sores, aaid rashes on various parts of the body, but particularly on the face, neck, and arms, are the inevitable penalty of neglecting ttJw skin in the Spring, when tiie por-ee get clogged through being overwoorked. Aill who value comfort and a good appv>a.racco will profit by the experience of Mrs iklizabeth Bormaai, make daily dressings of the &kin with Zam-Buk a epccial cane just now, am4 so reap the reward of a clear and healtihy skin. "Mattery pimples broke out on my left arm, canno to a head, and then burst," said MrB Borman, who lives aft 51, Rrightinore- street, Sheffield, to a reporter. "I tried homo- made remedies wfhioh, however, were too crude to do good. On the contrary, the intiam-mao- bon got worse., and other pimples appeared on my arms and in enormous numbers 001 the lower parts of my body. The itching wa's so bad I often found I hod scratched tihe heads of the pi.mples a.wa,y in my sleep and caused them to bleed. "The doctor told me I had wet eczema. His ointments and medicines didn't bring me any (relief, so I gaw them up. Then, as one after anoth-er cheap ointment failed, I lost hope and became quite dispirited. It ivae agony to move a.bout, and I found it impos- sible to do my housework with my body covered with these wretched sores. I doai't know what I should have done if I Imdai't been persuaded to try Zam-Buk. "After my very discouraging experiences with ointments I was surprised wihem Z ain- Buk relieved the atcihng and cooled and soothed the inflamed gores almost at once. I sawothmt Zam-Buk must be much more t.Ka.Ti a common ointment, eo I kept on with the aressim-p, which cleansed the eoree and ro- moved the dead skin. As the scabs peeled off new smooth skin grew in their place. Thia wonderful ckin-g-rowmg continued uctal Karn- Buk had cleared away evetry sore and left me with a perfectly healthy ekvn." So-caliod blood purifiers cannot get to the root of akin diseases. Nor can those coarse concoctions of nasty fiats aDd mineral poisrxns cabled ointmcots, salves, amd oreama. Yam- Buk is the one pure balm that is natnraHy absorbed by the skin. Zam-Buk cis a puite and unique herbal healecr and skin remedy, and the formuLa from which it is made is one of tlie most carefully guairded secrets of to-day.

--------LLANDCDNO MARKET HALL
LLANDCDNO MARKET HALL EXTENSION OF COMPANY'S OBJECTS. At the Bangor County Court, on Mo, Mr J. J. Marks, LIaadiudno, applied under Section 9 of the Companies Act, 1908, ooid in conformity with a special resolution parsed by the Llandudno Marke-t Hall Company for per- mission to extend the objects of memorandum of Association of the company. He asked the Judge to dwect, in the first place, whether a petition, which would be heard at the next} oourt, should be advertised or whether specific notiee of tho petition should be given to any person interested. From the petition it would be seen, that there was no mortgage or charge upon the property in any way. and the debts of the oompany were simple diebts, and the assets amounted to IDOTe than sufficient to pay the whole of the creditors. The Judge: What is the amount of the debts? Mr Marks: X15 to £ 18; they are simply; trade debts. Mr Marks added that the majority of the sibarehold-ars resided in Lkim- dudno. The value of the propevrtv was more than the paid-up capital owing "to the la- crease in the value of the site. It was in- tended to improve the property, having re- ga-rd to the character of the othcir in IJamdudno. It was not intended to cany on any other sort of business. The Judge I think you must g-i" tle onedi-tara notice of the application, and the petition will be heard at the next oourt.
