I ELVASTON CASTLE AND RIVER POLLUTION. I I ACTION BY THE EARL OF HARRINGTON. In the Chancery Division on Friday, before Mr. j Justice Buckley, the Earl of Harrington sought to obtain an injunction restraining the Corpora- tion of Derby from polluting the river Derwent by the discharge of sewage. The defendants denied that the plaintiff had suffered damage through any act on their part. Mr. Macmorran, K.C., and Mr. R. Cunning- ham Glen (instructed by Messrs. Walfords) were lor tHe piaimiii; and Mr. Danckwerts, K.C., Mr. K. J. barker, and Mr. A. M. Latter (instructed by Messrs. iSiiarpe, Parker, Pritchards, liarnham | and Lawiord, ugeius ior Mr. G. Treveiyn LùC, lown UierKj were ior tne delendants. Mr. iUucxuorraii said the Earl of Harrington was tenant 01 Elvaston Castle, through tlie grounds ot winch tHe river Derwent flowed. Tne discnarye oi »e>vage into the river constituted a liuisance, and large sums would have to be ex- ¡ pondeu in clearing out an ornamental iaKe in tiio castle grounds. 1'or o\er thirty years oompiauus had oc-u made. i torn time to time promises were made by the deiendant corporation, and, re- lying upon uiese promises, no proceedings were taiien. The POPUlaciOll of DeiDy had grown enormousiy, ana ww pollution ot the river hau become worse and worse, until it was so bad that rHO inlet to the iake liad to be cut oil. Counsel then read several letters written by the Earl ot Harrington to tne corporation, and from tiiebe it appeared that, owing to the pollution, nearly ail the lisii in the river nad been killed. Cattle and horses had been known to aio after drinking the water. Alter many complaints, continued counsel, the corporation adopted a scheme to prevent pol- lution, and, commenting on the scheme, the piaui- tin wrote: 1 was brought up as an engineer, and cannot see how your scneme can succeed." Mr. UancKwerus: Tnat was a case of a little learning. The case was adjourned. On Monday, in me Chancery Division, before Mr. Justice xiuckiey, the Earl of Harrington gave evidence in support of his claim against the Cor- poration of Derby for an inj unction to restrain them from polluting the river Derwent by the discharge of sewage into it, whereby it became a nuisance and injurious to the health of tho occu- pants of his seat, Elvaston Castle, through the grounds of which the river flowed. Lord Hairington said that he succeeded his father in 18ol. fourteen years ago he noticed that the river, which was very dirty, was becom- ing more polluted, and from that time it got rlie, till he cut off the communication with the lake in his grounds in 1902. The fish gradually died off, and he had to take away the dead ones in cartloads. Eight or nine years ago it became so bad that the weeds were killed. V isitors to the castle last bathed in the lake about 1886, when it was pretty clear. In 1866 witness used to spend much of his time on the Derwent rowing and fish- ing there were any amount of fish in the river then. About 1867 the late earl had the lake cleared out, and stocked with fish. Since he cut off the intake from the Derwent, the lake had dried, the bottom was black, and smelt uncom- monly bad. The castle overlooked the lake, which, from being a feature of beauty in tho park, was now very hideous. He let the fishing in the Derwent to an angling association for £10 a year, but it was more as a protection than anything else, as it was of very little use, though if the river were clear it would be very valuable. When his cattle and horses drank the water of the old out- fall from the lake they fell sick. Cross-examined: He had been aware for a con- siderable portion of his life that sewage did go into the Derwent, and his father before him com- plained very bitterly. When the lake was cleaned in 1857 it was re-stocked with trout, American bass, perch and dace. Pike were put in subse- quently, because the trout did not do very well. Mr. Danckwerts: I take it that of those trout not many survived the ravages of their friends the pike--Curiously enough, there were one or two in the lake a year or two ago. The sewage-proof trout? (Laughter.)—First- class trout Witness added that his father was very keen about the fishing. I take it your father's keenness did not descend to you?—Yes, it did: but I found it was quite impossible, so I gave it up as a bad job. Mr. Ralph Cowing, agent to Lord Harrington, produced a sample of the soil of the bed of the lake 9in. below the surface, contained in a wide- mouthed pickle-bottle. After getting the bung out, witness asked, "May I have a newspaper, or something, to shake some of it out on?" Mr. Justice Buckley: Perhaps Mr. Danckwerts would like to smell it. (Laughter.) The bottle was handed to Mr. Danckwerts, who passed it on to his junior, by whom it was handed to a witness to smell. After he had done so counsel remarked, "It is safe for your lordship to examine No smell, I am told." The bottle was then handed to his lordship. Mr. Danckwerts: Does your lordship detect any particular bouquet? (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Buckley: I invite you to form your own opinion. (Laughter.) Tho bottle was returned to Mr. Danckwerts, who, having tested it, remarked, Well, it smells all right, my lord; it smells like ordinary soil." Mr. Arthur Robert Peat, co-trustee with Lord Harrington in the estate, expressed the opinion that the lake was good up to 1886 or 1887; in fact, in the former year the water looked so inviting that one Sunday morning he swam across. There was practically no mud. Dr. Barwise, medical officer for the county of Derby stated that in 1893 he reported that there hundreds of dead fish floating on the lake, and the sides were covered with black mud. There was no other water available for drinking pur- poses at the castle, and he could only give the opinion that under the circumstances it was not safe to live there. An order was obtained against tho Derby Corporation in 1898. Cross-examined: In times of drought the cor- poration had been driven to use water from the river. It was, however, thoroughly filtered, and had not been used lately. Witness believed that the new sewage works would be satisfactory if the area and capacity were large enough. It was. however, impossible to hurry the construction of such works. The hearing was again adjourned. The hearing was resumed on Tuesday, when Mr. Danckwerts on behalf of the defendants, admitted that he could not deny that the river was polluted to a certain extent. In respect- of the lake, the plaintiff could not recover, beca-use putting the water into the lake was his own act, and he could not claim to be indemnified for the consequences of his own act. The present Corporation of Derby had not constructed any one of the outfalls They had inherited them all. In respect of outfalls more than twenty years old, counsel submitted that the Corporation had a legal right as against the plain- tiff, and weie entitled to discharge sewage. The earl could not recover damages for the death of tlw animals. because, knowing the river to be pol- luted, he ought not to have allowed them to drink the water. The Corporation had spent £ 188,000 in perfecting the sewage system. On Wednesday Mr. Otto Hehner. public analyst, said that the water of the river at Elvaston was what the Thames Conservancy, referring to an outfall, would call "good." and was quite fit to fill the lake, except that at times there was too much suspended matter. All that was required was a sedimentation tank between the intake and the lake. Dr. William James Howarth considered the water of the river quite fit for use in the lake, provided the sluices at the intake were used in- telligently, and low water and storm water kept out. The hearing was adjourned.

I THE PERFECT STATE. ADDRESS BY MR. WYNDHAM. Mr. George Wyndham was on Tuesday in- ■,tailed as Lord Rector of Glasgow diversity, in his adclnss to the students Mr. Wyndham chose the subject of Tho development of the State." The ideal State, he said, must have one grandeur of political design, illumined by livers glories of race achievement. Each step into the future must be illumined by light from tho pa Rove re nationality," he said. "Let every nation within the State have character to redeem it from featureless cosmopolitanism." The future was dark and impenetrable to man, and we must foarcli cur way into it step by step, and if we would not stumble we must be illumined by the light of the past. After referring at length to the etymological difficulties restricting us to the use of terms originally of a different meaning, Mr. Wyndham spoke of the errors of the past, which he said should be shunned. The narrow interpretation of raco idea weakened the idea of local attachment. He advanced the view of local attachment: ho advanced the view that pride of race was a better incentive than pride of nation- ality. Referring back to a remoter past, the several races or strains in a nation enriched it, and unfortunately we Scots, English, Irish, or Welsh, could lay claim to many such strains. In conclusion he warned them against over-estimating the creations of modern civilisation in the de- velopment of the State. The spirit- of the ago was seldom prophetic. A life of polyglot restaurants and international sleeping-cars did not. conduce to civic virtue. It lapped us in the listlessness of cosmopolitan luxury. He warned his hearers against the clamour which would restrict a uni- versity curriculum to applied sciences a.nd modern languages, and advised them not to abandon the heaped treasure of humanistic learning.

I DEATH OF ALDERMAM "JAMES I RENEY. I PROMINENT FLINTSHIRE MAN. I With deep regret we record the death of Alder- man James Reney, which occurred at his resid- ence, Marsh Cottage, Connah's Quay, on Tuesday morning. The deceased gentleman had been in indifferent health for a considerable time. Al- though be was confined to his residence by periodi- cal attach of illness, a good constitution enabled him to so far recover that he was able to get cut again and attend to the many public duties in which he was so deeply interested. About three months ago Mr. Reney had a rather more serious attack of illness, and it was observed that he was daily growing weaker until all hope of his recovery was abandoned. He bore his painful illness with fortitude and patience, and was quite cheerful when his friends visited him a short time ago, among them boing7 Mr. S. Smith, M.P., and Mr. J. H Lewis. M.P. His medical advisers, Drs. Purdon and Whlttome, were constant in their at- tendance. He died at the age of 81 years. Mr. Reney was one of the most prominent public men in the county. In early life he served his appreiv ticeshin to the trade of a sailmaker to his uncle (Mr. Charles Davison), and after completing his time went to Liverpool. He returned to Connah s Quay, and in the year 1844 commenced business on his own account as a sailmaker, and by his indus- try, ability, and energy he built up a large and successful business. Some years ago he erected large promis-ei3 in Lock-road, Connah's Quay, where the business is still carried on by his son, Mr. William, Reney. The deceased early in his busi- ness career became largely interested in shipping, a.nd was at the time of his death the owner of a large number of the finest schooners engaged in the coasting trade of the country. Having this large stake in shipping property, he was naturally deeply interested in the navigation of the Dee, and during many years he laboured strenuously with the object of improving the river. He was a member of the old River Dee Com- missioners, the object of which body was to see that the then river Dee Company carried out its statutory obligations respecting the navigable waterway of the Dee. Later, upon the passing of the Dee Conservancy Act, he became a member of the River Dee C-ouservanoy Board, in which capacity, with his long and varied experience of shipping, he was able to give valuable advice. In 1874 Mr. Reney founded the Dee Shipowners' Mutual Insurance Association, and became the secretary, holding that position for over 20 years; and it speaks volumes for his efficient- manage- ment that the Association is one of the finest and most cheaply managed of its kind in the Kingdom. At present a large amount of shipping property, I not only in the Dee, but all around the coast, is insured with the Association. Mr. Reney was a gentleman of the highest integrity and of deep reliioue convictions. Among the people with whom he lived he was beloved and respected, and beneath what appeared a rather brusque exter;or there beak an ever-kind heart. His advice in busi- ness and other matters was largely sought a.fter by his neighbours, and no deserving appeal for help or advice was made to him in vain. In the religious life of the village Mr. Reney was a notable figure. He was closely identified with the Methodist New Connexion Church, and from 1858'to 1883 was a trustee of the church. For the long period of 33 years he was superintendent of the Sunday Sohool, and previous to his appoint- ment had been a faithful Sunday school teacher. In the erection of the beautiful new church Mr. Reney took a prominent part, his valuable counsel and. financial support being of great assistance. Although directly associated with this cause Mr. Reney had much sympathy with the other Free Churches of the town, and was ever ready, being broad-minded in his religious views, to give what help lay in his power to other denominations. He was a strong and constant advocate of the cause of temperance; a 'life-long abstainer himself, he never lost an opportunity of doing what he could to chec-k the evils of intemperance. In the year 1867 he was chiefly instrumental in es- tablishing tho Rcchabite Tent, which has performed a great work in the propa- gation of the principles of total abstinence. In politics he was an ardent Radical, and one of his greatest friends was Mr. Samuel Smith. M.P. Despite the heavy calls upon his time by business, Mr. Reney made considerable sacrifices for the benefit of the community. Continuously for the past 40 years he had been actively engaged in public work, and since his retirement from business had devoted a great amount of his leisure and ability to the public work of the county. For a period of 20 years he rendered eminent service as a. poor-law Guardian, being a member of the Holywcll Board of Guardians. He was, moreover, a member of the cld rural sanitary authority, and was, upon his retirement from this office, vice-chairman of the Beard of Guardians. In this work he rendered eminent service to the district in which he resided, and his constituents highly appreciated the faithful and able manner in which he at all times discharged his duties. The cause of education had in Mr. Reney a sincere friend, and upon the establishment cf a Sohool Board in Northop parish ho was elected a member, and became the first chairman of the Board in tho Custom House-lane Board Schools. He was a member of the Board when these commodious schools were built. Mr. Reney, upon tho creation of county councils, contested the Wepre Division, and was elected a member by a good majority. At the first meeting of the Council he was elected a.n alderman, a position he had held for six years. His work as a member of the County Council was much appreciated. His administrative abilities were such that he was placed on almost every im- portant committee of the Council. He was a mem- ber of the Standing Joint Committee. In the year 1894 the Lord Lieutenant of the county, re- cognising the public werk Mr. Reney performed, recommended his appointment as a Justice of the Peace for the county, and he continuously sat at the Petty Sessions in his district. For the past six years he had been a member of the Urban Dis- trict Council, and the members, upon his election, shewed their confidence in his ability by appoint- ing him chairman, a position he held for three j-ears. The funeral takes place, to-day (Saturday) at St. Mark's Cemetery, Connah's Quay.

SEWS OF THE WOULD. Mr. Alfred Beit's offer to found a Profes*h;;> of Colonial History in Oxford Univemty, wit:. endowment of £ 1,310 per annum, has been accepted by the University. t Lord Londonderry on Wednesday, at Stockton- on-Tees, declared that by their dissension the two I extreme sections of the Unionist party were simply playing into the hands of their opponents. He could not understand how either section couid refuse to accept the policy of the Prime Minister. Albert James Holmes, a cripple who was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey last week for the murder of his infant nephew, Thomas Copland, with a poker at Tottenham, has been reprieved The jury in finding him guilty strongly recom- mended him to mercy Not long since America occupied the first place as a source of our wheat supply. Now, owing to the needs of her rapidly-increasing population, she is the fifth in the scale. Thus economical causes may compel us to grow most of our own supplies within the Empire, as, for instance, in the vast tracts of South Africa. Sir Henry Irving. on Wednesday at Aberdeen, alluded to advantages possessed by stock com- panies which were now lost, the result being that many frequenters of the theatre nowadays were not playgoers, for the simple reason that there were seldom any real plays to be seen. The theatre would always remain a great instrument of our social organisation. In the case, tried before Sir F. Jenne. in which the question of the legitimacy of George White- head, the younger, arose out of a Scotch irregular" marriage, his lordship on Wednesday pronounced that George Whitehead was the legitimate son of his father and mother, George and Emily Gordon Whitehead. This decision entitles the son to legacies amounting to 918,000. A remarkable case of thrift was on Tuesday brought before the attention of the Westbury Wilts board of Guardians. An old lady had been removed to the workhouse and the relieving officer reported that he found hidden in various parts of her house money amounting to z237 10s. This sum she had saved out of an allowance of only 2s. 10Qd. per week, of which she had been in receipt just over twelve years. "Canada will be among the first to give prefer- ence to the Mother-country, said Lord btrathcona at a'meeting of the Royal Colonial Institute, held at the Whitehall Rooms on Tuesday. I am only repeating Sir Wilfred Laurier's words," he added, when I say that we will always be prepared to consider anv advance that may be made to us by the Mother-country in respect of preference as a domestic matter between the two peoples." An enterprising Bangor journalist proposes performing a daring feat on the brink of Niagara Falls. He will take a well-ballasted boat, with inflated balloon and carriage attached, start above the falls, allow the boat to be carried to the brink of the precipice, where he will enter the balloon, cut adrift, and soar into the air. The journalist has communicated with Buffalo Bill, and offered himself to perform the feat. Buffalo Bill ooks with favour upon the project. A Birmingham correspondent says a remarkable incident has resulted from the campaign, of the Workingmen's Lord's Day Rest Association against Sunday golf. They issued a tract, in which they depicted Mr. Moore, of Stourbridge, playing golf on Sunday. They now explain in a public apology that the photogroph from which the illustration was obtained was taken of him playing on a week- day. They regret its unwarrantable use and give £10 to charity. Westbury House.'Hants, the residence of Colonel Le Roy Lewis, D.S.O., was on Wednesday burned down owing to some defect in the heating apparatus in the basement. The colonel, with his wife and six children and about 30 servants, was on the premises at the time. All were rescued from the flames, but the housekeeper, who had been in the service of the family for many years, died from shock and fright on the roof before she could be brought down. Arthur Nightingall, described as a well-known jockey, who did not appear at the Westminister County-court, on Tuesday, to answer a judgement summons, wrote saying that if the plaintiff turned up any racing-book he would see that he had not earned jE25 since the early part of the year. He enclosed £2. Plaintiff said the debtor lived in good style at Epsom, putting up at first-class hotels, and if he kept himself in good condition he would always earn money. Judge Woodfall adjourned the summons. 1 i'A German sergeant and two privates of the same regiment met in a dancing saloon. The sergeant was drunk, and offended two girls, who appealed to the soldiers. When asked for an explanation the sergeant drew his sword uponl the two men, who disarmed him and knocked him down. The privates have been sentenced to five years' penal servitude for insubordination, no plea of self- defence being allowed as against their superiors. The sergeant undergoes three months' imprison- ment without degradation. The Prince of Wales on Saturday, after dining with the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, formally opened the new premises of the Inns of Court Mission in Drury-lane, which have been erected at £10.000 cost. It gave him the greatest possible pleasure, he said, to do so, as the institution was connected with the working man, in whom he had always, and would always, take the greatest interest. The Prince presented a signed portrait of himself to the institution. The Master of the Rolls and many judges were present. Mr. Justice Bucknill had an exciting experience when driving from Leicester Town Hall on Monday evening on assize business. The horses slipped on the snow, and fell in a plunging heap. His lord- ship, however, coolly stepped out of the carriage, lifted his scarlet robes to avoid the mud, and made for a brougham close at hand. A crowd of girls greatly enjoyed the spectacle, and one exclaimed, Oh, you do look an old guy!" "Never mind, my dear," his lordship replied, with a smile and a nod, Please let me by." There were roars of laughter at the sally, and amid general cheers the judge proceeded on his journey. Peter Sutherland, a centenarian, died at Peter- head on Sunday. A native of Rathen, Aberdeen- shire, where he was born in December, 1803, he married in 1833, and went to reside at Peterhead in the same year. Standing over 6ft. in height, he was remarkably robust. He was employed for seventy years at some saw mills, and worked at odd jobs several months after completing his hundreth year in December last. His memory was exceed- ingly retentive, and it was his claim that he was never late for work at six o'clock in the morning until his retirement some months ago, and that he was seldom absent through illness. His wife pre- deceased him six years since. A day or two Capo the passers-by upon the Boulevard de Belleville in Paris, were attracted by the spectacle of a well-dressed man, round whose neck was slung a bag of seed, who was marching up and down the ashphalt pavement and casting his seed upon it with the classicle gesture repro- duced by innumerable painters and sculptors in works entitled "The Sower." Naturally enough, the crowd took this inappropriate agriculturist for a madman, and stood round him laughing and winking to each other until he had cast the whole of his stock of seed upon the pavement. Last of all, he pushed his way through the crowd, mounted a bicycle, and rode away, 'waving his hat courteously as he didl so. Then-and only then-did the spectaiors discover :that while he was sowing his confederate pickpockets had reaped a large harvest of watches, purses, and other articles from their unguarded pockets.

BETTING AT CREWE INNS.-At Crewe on Tuesday. Walter Hancock applied for the transfer to him of the licence of the Jubilee Tavern, Crewe. —Superintendent Pearson said the previous tenant, George Jones, was in July last convicted of betting, and nned B10. The house had been closed for several months. The property belongs to the railway company, and is leased to Messrs. Allsopp —Hancock said he was in possession. He slept in the house on Monday nisrht on a chair, as there was no bed in the place —The Chairman I fear you had rather a cold bed. (Laughter )-The case was adjourned till next Transfer Sessions.—John Joseph Lea applied for a transfer of the licence of the Engine Hotel. This house was recently raided by the police, and the tenant, Frank Vickers, was fined j £;)0 for betting. He has since been sentenced to three years' penal servitude for perjury. The transfer was granted.

THE CHURCHES. i rilcl -i 1 1 ) OURL IE'S INDUCTION. 'hi Satur afternoon the Archdeacon of Chester inducted the Rev. N. J. N. Gourlie. bte pnrae of St Oswald's, Chester, to the vicarage of Weston, near Crewe. After the induction Mr. Gourlie was presented with an illuminated address by the parishioners of St. Oswald's. RIVAL PREACHERS. SCENES IN A SCOTCH CHURCH. Some extraordinary scenes were again witnessed in Dalkeith Evangelical Union Congregational Church on Sunday morning. The young preacher from Edinburgh, who had been engaged by the session, entered the pulpit, but he had been there only two minutes when the Rev. Robert Dermid Brown arrived. At 11 o'clock the Edinburgh preacher rose and announced a hymn, while Mr. Brown signed to his supporters not to join in the singing. The young preacher next attempted to proceed with a prayer, but Mr. Brown's followers started a tune. This sort of thing continued for a time, one party singing a hymn and the other engaging in prayer. Later Mr. Brown gave out a chapter of Scripture, and the Edinburgh preacher thereupon stepped forward and remarked, I would like to say a few words. Last Sunday Mr. Brown asked three men into this pulpit to put me out." Mr. Brown continued to read the Bible, and the young preacher said, I'll stand aside and he'll take the consequences." After repeating his claim to be pastor of the church, Mr. Brown announced his text-Luke xxiii., 42-and observed that the present conduct would be memorable in the history of the church His memory would hold good both in time and eternity as to the awful state of affairs. The service was got through in a little over an hour, and then the Edinburgh preacher continued his ministrations. After two hymns bad been sung, he delivered an address, and said he desired that any visitors should know he was not there expecting to be Mr Brown's successor. He wished to clear '1 way all impressions of that sort in the mind of any person. He had been invited by the session to come out, and had consented in the interests of the church. The day's proceedings, though exciting, were carried through with fair order.

I HUNTING. I I NORTH CHESHIRE. I The North fixture on Friday was Dutton Hall ) Farm, the residence of Mr. Thomas Baxter. Hounds could not hunt on Wednesday, when the fixture was the same plaoe, owing to fog, so an extra day was given. A fox was pushed out of Whitby Gorso and ran close to Cogshall. Heie they came round to the ieft, through Merry Fall Wood and past Cobler's Gorse, then over the Stretton Mosses, where they had a check. Cham- pion soon put hounds right; the remainder, how ever, was a slow hunt up to High Leigh, where they lost their fox after a nice hunt of an hour and twenty minutes. Cobler's Gorse gave them their next fox. He also took them near High Leigh, and got to ground. Stajnford Bridge, near Chester, was the. fixture of this pack on Saturday, and a reaUy good dav it turned out. Hounds found in the Gowey Cover, and the fox made to cross the Chester-road, but there were so many carriages and foot-people that he turned in the opposite direction and ran along- side the river Gowey up to the railway at Miokle Trafford. Here he turned across the meadows past Plemstall up to Little Barrow. Keeping straight on, his head was set for Ashton Hayes, but just under Peel Hall he went to his right for Kel- sall. Close to the village this game fox crossed the Chester and Northwich-road, and after a few more fi Ids soent began to. fail. Hounds, however, hunted their fox into Willington Park, where he was left, Mr. Tomkinson having a shooting party for the beginning of tho following week. This was a very fine hound hunt, the field being unable to keep with them across the. meadows but on reach- ing Barrow many of the riders got up to them for the remainder of the hunt. A few of the field galloped along the railway from Plemstall into Barrow Staton, but before they all got clear of the. lilil a goods train cam,- up. The driver pulled up. One horse, belonging to the master. Mr. Wilson, which was being hold at the. bottom of the embankment, jumped the fence and got be- tween the hedge and some rails being badly hurt before they could get him out The Barn House and Dunham were both without foxes, although there were plenty when hounds were cub-hunting. The Now Gorse at Barrowmore held several foxes. Hounds hunted one past Tarvin village. Glossing the Chester-road, they ran past Hockenhall into Cotton. Their fox was soon away again towards Waverton, but changing his mind he returned back to Cotton and was left. The Wheat Sheaf, Over, was the fixture on Monday. Mr. Wilson, the master, took hounds to Blakedon. They soon found at least a brace of foxes, one was hunted in the direction of Abbot's Moss, but on reaching the Chester road he came round back to Blakedon, and after twisting round for Oulton went again for Abbots Moss, hounds being run out of scent near the Over and Chester road. Our quarry was evidently a cub. as he never could make up his mind to run two fields straight. Hounds were then taken to the Weaver Dingles, but after finding a fox a heavy snowstorm came on which covered the ground at least a couple of inches, so the hunt was abandoned. SOUTH CHESHIRE. I Mr. Corbet brought his hounds to Hankelow on Friday. They soon found in the gorse one of a brace, but after a short. hunt towards the Brine Fits the fox got to ground. Going back to Hankelow, they found again, their fox taking them towards the. canal. Here he was headed, but he eventually made his point. On re-crossmg the canal again hounds had the remainder of the hunt for some time to themselves till close up to Actons, where a few of the. fieJd got to them. Shortly afterwards this fox also got to ground after a thirty-five minutes' hunt. BLUECAP. H THE CHESHIRE BEAGLES. I un Saturday, when these hounds met at Kmner- ton there was a very good field present, some of whom were Mr. Percy Roberts (master). Messrs. Robt. Parry and Cyril Dennis (whips), Mr. C. B. Royd-, Mr. G. Stuart. Mr. John Rimmer. Mr. and Mrs. Norris Wyatt, Mr. A. C. MacLaren. Miss MacLaren, Miss L. Samuel, Mr. Edgar Dennis. Mr. John, Urmson, Mr. Stanley Rimmer, Miss Dorothy Broad bent. Miss Temple, Mr. Edw. Wool Mr. A Dod Mr W. Dodd, Mr. Stuart Smyth Mr. J. Bower, Mr. Hugh Chambrrs, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Rowley, Miss Rowley. Mr. George Jo-hnson. the Misses Johnson. Mr. Eceles, Mr. Cowie. etc. When we arrived at the station Mr. James Frost's gamekeeper was awaiting us. and took us to Mr. Samuel Handley's farm, where a hare was socn found. Away she went on to the meadows, which th:6 time last, year were ankle deep in mud. but to-day the going was all that could be desired. Scent was good, and in running- several rings hounds rep atedly viewed their quarrv. They ran into her in the open, after a good run of forty minutes' duration. Mr. Handley's farm also sup- plied us with number two. which proved to be a real straight-necked little jack hare. The pack at once settled down on his line, and ran very fast and quite straight for upwards of fifteen minutes when he entered a dry road and went along it for some distance; but Buxom, a trusty road hound. was quite equal to the occasion, aiad soon they h;t off the lin- again at a gateway. A large herd of cattle was the next difficulty, but once clear of the. foiled ground hounds raced away again, and fairly ran the hare off his legs, eventually pulling h-'m down in a ditch close to the field wherein he was first found, after as fast a run of thirty-five minutes as anyone could possibly wish for. We soon found again, and after another nice run of about fifty minutes sent failed, and word was given for home. whither all went, well satisfied with the dav's snort.

THIN YOUNG MEN. I WHO LACK VITALITY NEED I DR. WILLIAMS' PTNK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE. Always eating, but never growing fatter on it," is the story of many young men between sixteen and twenty-six. Painfully thin, lantern-jawed, pale, and dark eyed, during their years of develop- ment, young men lack vitality and are ill fitted to resist colds and chills, let alone more serious ailments. Mr. Battle, an intelligent man of twenty, speaks from experience of the difficulties arising at this age My work as a newspaper compositor demands a quick eye and hand and I an alert brain," said he "When I began this work I was still growing fast. I was far from strong in constitution, and soon broke down under the strain. "I began by feeling out of sorts, and fit for nothing-without energy ( to start any occupation or recreation. I was evidently outgrowing my strength. By degrees I became very weak and sickly. I slept heavily and arose tired. I always felt exhausted, at work or at home. I did not make flesh, and friends used to say How thin you are I fell into such a low state that I needed something more than ordinary tonics to build up my strength and stay the awful wasting away. ZIr. Battle, a Compositor, I outgrew his strength. .Dr. Tllitliams'Piitk Pills made a new man of him. Luckily for me, I found the right medicine in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Their good effect was soon noticeable the second box set me up wonderfully, and by the time I bad finished it I was completely restored. I felt well, and could eat well; and my food satisfied me. The weariness had vanished I was fit for work or play, and in as good health as I could wish." Mrs. Battle, who was present at the interview at 18, Jackson-street Birkenhead, added that before her son took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills he seemed to lose all interest in life. He was bent and stooped," she added, "until he took these pills. I knew they would do him good, for they had cured my daughter of Anaemia. Now both are strong and well." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make men bright for business. They have cured the most serious forms of nervous disorders, including Paralysis and Locomotor Ataxy, while thousands have testified to their value in St. Vitus' Dance, Sciatica, Rheumatism. Ansemia, Indigestion, loss of Appetite, general muscular weakness, and the ailments of women. Not a purgative, but a true tonic. Obtainable of all medicine dealers, also from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, London, on receipt of 2s. 9d. for one box, or for six boxes 13s. 9d. post free.

CITY POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Mr. J. Gooddie Holmes (presiding), Colonel Evans-Lloyd, and Mr. J. M. Frost. MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES.—Henry Thomas, an Army pensioner, residing at 50, Catherine- street, SeaJand-road, was summoned for persistent cruelty to his wife, Violet Alexandra Thomas, who applied for a maintenace order. Mr. E. Brassey, on behalf of complainant, stated the parties were married a few years ago in India, the complainant being then a widow and the matron of an hospital, and the defendant a ser- geant in the Army. On returning to England they came to Chester, and in August last defendant left the Army on a pension. Defendant alleged that during the last six months she had been repeatedly assaulted and threatened by him, and that he had frequently given way to drunkenness. On the 8th inst., because she expressed her inten- tioii to go to tion to go to Lichfieid, he gave her a violent blow, knocking her off her chair and bruising her on her hip. She thereupon went upstairs toNprepare for leaving the house, and when she came down he attacked her again, this time with a knife in his hand.—Cross-examined by Mr. W. H. Churton, who appeared for defendant, com- plainant said he was her third husband. He had given her J670 since he left the Army last August. She admitted having thrown a saucer at her husband on the occasion in question, but only after he struck her.—Evidence on com- plainant's behalf was given by Catherine Tudor, 5. St. Martin's Fields, who said she noticed Mrs. Thomas's hand bleeding when the latter called at her house that afternoon.—For the defence, Mr. Churton gave a complete denial to the charge of cruelty. Unfortunately, he said, the man had married a woman who was very much married before, and if he" deceased husbands had been treated by her as her present husband had, they must have had an uncommonly bad time. The unpleasantness on the 8th inst- was caused by complainant's declaring her intention of going to Lichfield with her sister to see the arrival of the 1st Cheshires from India. Defendant dis- approved of this on the ground of propriety, and in her temper she threw a saucer at his head and threw his bicycle on the floor. -Evi (ien ce. for the defence was given by Edward Morris. 14.
