I l w Seldom in the course of our days bave? we witnessed such universal regret asp. we witnessed such universal regret as §*! that caused by the death of Alderman? John Evans, of Tanrbiw, which occurrcd last Saturday night. j"\ p- Its sudden occurrance was appalling,? Alderman Evans being about during tbel morning, attended a meeting of the morn i Sr Guardians at Dolgelley in the aftel'noon!(t returning home in the evening, and within a comparatively short time after „ reaching his home the news of his death travelled quickly through the town, casting a heavy gloom on every face and filling every heart with sincere sorrow. Alderman Evans was one of the most (. amiable and tender of men,and of all per- sons who took an active interest in 7 public affairs, no one was more respected and honoured than the good natured' Alderman, who knew nothing of jealousy and envy—failings that char-ii acterize our present day public life to a large degree. Alderman Evans rejoiced in the prosperity of all, and with child-" like sincerity never failed to express his heart to all. He was a true and loyal friend, never failed his friends, come what may. tit As a Guardian of the poor—the senior Guardian of the town of Barmoutb- and as chairman of the Local Pensions Committee, his care for the old and poor was proverbial, and it is no reflection on any of the present or past Guardians to state that people in distress would cet. tainly approach Alderman Evans in pre-I ference to any other Guardian for reliefbr and succour. The poor and needy have certainiy lost a true and constant friend and they are the first to admit this al-! ready. ready. Alderman Evans filled more public, offices than any other person in oui town,- he was a member of Fractica 11 Y, every important body and commitcee in- the county of Merioneth, being so popu-J Jar, his friends saw to it that be was elected. L He was a County lVlagi"strate, Aider-? man of the County Council, member of^ man of the County ConnciJ1 member Of the Joint Police Committee, ex.cbair-? man of the Fishery Board, Governor oIVn Aberystwyth University College, mem-fj ber of the Countv and Local Education.' f > Committees, Governor of the Barmouth • ] County School, vice-chairman of tbe?  Barmouth Harbour Trust, and member* of other minor bodies and committees,? all of which he attended regularly dur- £ j ll of whicb be attended regularly dur-fjj ing many years. fy His services to his native town and county have been long and valuable,? and it will be a long time before bis ? place will be filled, if ever, by one person. Notwithstanding the stress of his public life, and the various impol,tant appointments, the Alderman bad, it is safe .to state, that these were not allowed Sjpfe to encroach upon his religions life and duties. He never missed his week- nigb service whatever called, and after a long and tiresome day of public work, Lie j would again appear cheerful at the night service, without complaint or grumble. I Caersalem Church has lost a worthy w deacon, a real, faithful leader, who lived actually before men, what he professed,^ -his life was in deeds, and not in, words, and this is the secret of influence few! he wielded so largely upon all he canu in contact witb, for, after all, we are "known by what we are, and not by whal iwe say, and "our mode of life and act- linfiuences society far more than volumes •; ,of talk and speèch. lof talk and speech. j As a diligent Sunday School teacher, ji <he will also be sadly missed, always constant and regular in attendance, bis J class could rely upon their teacher being ;present-an essential to ensure a suc-yl jcessful class. H I Much more could be written, and eel j 'tainly could be undertaken by someone 1 ,mo,e competent, to enlarge upon the" lne and character of our departed friend -;but the writer of these lines cannot miss the occasion to pay a tribute of j "true respect, though imperfectly done, to the memory of a true and loyal and ■ faithful friend. • if s' The funeral (private) took place oa Tuesday, at Llanaber Churchyard, the officiating ministers being the Revr-. ) Gwynoro Davies (pastor), E.

The former is one of the well-known Itala films, 3,950 feet long, featuring the well-known actress, Miss Berta Nelson, in the chief role. This film is a most superb Itala special drama, packed with strong sensational incidents, such as the thrilling burning liner scene and the aeroplane flight. As for the film "When the Earth Trembled," we have only to say that it is one of Lubin's greatest productions, it is undoubtedly one of the strongest 3 reel drama ever shewn to the English public. A wonderful story of love and devotion and duty, woven round the terrible disaster which befel San Francisco some years ago. This terrible earthquake is still fresh in the memory of the world which killed thousands, ruined hundreds and hun- dreds of families, and rendered a huge multitude of men, women and children homeless. Thrilling and realistic pic- tures of the earthquake are produced in this film, revealing all the horrors of that fearful visitation. Our advise to all our readers is not to miss these two grand films.
