I THE KING. The Court left Balmoral Castle shortly after four o'clock on Monday afternoon on the return to London. The King and Queen as they drove to Ballater were repeatedly saluted, and among those assembled at the railway station were the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Kintore, and Earl Clanwilliam. A guard of honour was furnished by the Argyll and Sutherland High- landers. The special train left at 20 minutes past five. Forryhill Junction, Aberdeen, was reached at 6.26. The public were excluded from the enclosure, but the Lord Provost and the magistrates of the city were present. Cale- donian Railway engines were substituted for those of the Great North of Scotland, and the train left for Perth at 6.35. While the ttain was at Ferryhill the blinds of the saloon were partly- drawn, and the King and Queen were ¡ scarcely observed. A bouquet of flowers sent by Lady Gordon Cathcart, of Cluny Castle, was handed in to the Queen. Lord Aberdeen, who travelled in the train from Ballater, left it at Jferryhill with Sir Dighton Probyn, and con- tinued the journey to London by an ordinary express. The railway officials travelling with the Royal train included Mr. Frederick Harrison, general manager, and Mr. Robert Turnbull, line superintendent of the London and North-Western Railway. It is expected that the King and Queen, after their return from Scotland, will visit Windsor to inspect the alterations which are now in pro- gress to prepare the Castle for their future residence. ARRIVAL AT EUSTON. The King and Queen, accompanied by the Princess Victoria and the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, arrived at Euston on Tuesday morning from Balmoral. A considerable number of people assembled in the vicinity of the station, but only ticket- holders were allowed on the platform. The King wore a black lounge suit and a bowler hat, and, happily, betrayed no traces of his recent indisposition, with the possible exception that he moved with a little more deliberation than usual in alighting from the train. The party reached Marlborough House at nine o'clock.

I NEWS OF THE WORLD. I Czolgosz is to be HX-icuted on October 29 He still denies that he had accomplices. Mrs. Combe Miller, wife of the Mayor of Chichester, died suddenly on Tuesday. Alfred Hodkinson, late licencee of the Union Inn, a I ully-licensed house in Macclesfield, was fined .65 and costs on Wednesday for "grogging" spirit casks. Julian Gault, French valet, was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Tuesday to five years' penal servitude for stealing jewellery, value £ 20.000, belonging to his master, the Marquis of Anglesey. Lord Dysart, writing to Monday's Times." offers to contribute £ 100 towards the deficit of X500 in the balance sheet of the Public-house Trust, provided the remainder of the sum re- quired is forthcoming from subscribers by the 28th inst. In regard to the action by Earl Rosslyn I against Countess Rosslyn for divorce, which was commenced last January, Mr. Adam for plaintiff informed Lord Stormouth Darling in Edinburgh Court of Session on Tuesday that it had been decided to abandon the action. Sir A. L. Smith, who only a few days ago resigned the post of Master of the Rolls on the ground of ill-health, died on Sunday night in Morayshire. He was born in 1836, was appointed a Judge of the High Court in 1883, became a Lord Justice of Appeal in 1892, and succeeded Lord Lindley as Master of the Rolls last year. Mr. John Redmond, M.P., spoke in Cork on Tuesday night before his departure for America on behalf of the Irish movement. He said his mission to America was not a begging one, because the Irish people always supported the Irish Parliamentary Party. He was going to appeal to Irish-America to take its proper place in fighting the battles of the old country. A terrible tragedy was enacted on Tuesday morning at a house at High Park, Ryde, occupied by Mr. George James, builder. A Mr. Hughes, son-in-law of Mr. James, had, with his wife and child, been staying at the house. Early in the morning Mr. James heard a thud, and on going to the bedroom found his daughter, his son-in-law, and their child dead with their throats cut. A minister preaching was annoyed by people talking and giggling. He paused, looked at the disturbers, and said, Some years since, when I was preaching, a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing, talking, and making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a severe rebuke. After the close of the service a gentlemen eaid to me, Sir, you made a great mistake; that young man was an idiot.' Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave themselves in church, lest I should repeat that mistake and reprove another idiot." Further trials have been made with another of the submarines building at Barrow for the British Navy. A crew of six men were placed in one of the vessels to be launched shortly, and all apertures having being sealed to prevent the admission of air, the men were kept inside for twelve hours. The results were eminently satisfactory, the crew suffering no ill effects or inconvenience. The vitiated atmosphere was absorbed by a special apparatus, and an excellent supply of fresh air was provided. The tests shew that the boat could remain submerged for twelve hours without injury to the crew. The inaugural address for the new session at the Aberstwyth University College was delivered on Tuesday by Lord Justice Vaughaq Williams, who, in view of the opening of the new school of law, took as his subject What is jurisprudence, and have we a seience of law ? In closing, he expressed a hope that the Welsh school of law would infuse into the law something of the old scientific tone which prevailed before the abolition of the common law pleadings, and would, in addition to doing earnest work in that branch of jurisprudence which dealt with the application of the law, not neglect the study of jurisprudence in all the senses in which it was understood on the Continent. ♦

AN AUSTRALIAN GIRL IN LONDON. EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENTS TO A SUNDAY PAPER. The" W oak ly Dispatch" is responsible for the authenticity of the following remarkable interview with a young Australian lady now residing in London, at an address published and vouched for by our enterprising Sunday con- temporary, whose actual photograph of the girl is here reproduced. "I was born in Melbourne," said MisOlive Clarke, of 8, Harlock-road, Wimbledon, and I am now just upon the age of sixteen. I have always been a very healthy girl; in fact, I did not, while I was in Australia, know what even a headache was. In England people do not seem to live so much in the open air as is the case in Australia, and I think this accounts for the number of pale faces that are to be I seen when one walks abroad. But I want to Miss Olive Clarke (Reproduced from a portrait in the Weekly Dispatch). tell you about myself. I was well and strong when I came to England a little over three years ago. As you know, the winter in Australia is merely a wet season, but I don't think it hurts anyone. I had never seen snow until I came to England, and I could not make out what had come over London when one day I found it suddenly grow dark through a Novem- ber fog. Snow followed, and one day I got my feet wet, of which I took little notice. About a fortnight after, however, I began to feel ill. I had dreadful headaches and pains in my back. My mother gave me some simple homely remedies, and I think I improved, but I had a renewal of the pains in my back, and they remained long with me. For more than a couple of months I had the pain night and day, until I began to think I should never get rid of it. I had grown deathly pale. My lips had no colour at all, and my hands were just like a white sheet of paper. My eyes were sunken in my head, and often for days I would have terrible noises in my ears. I was always tired, and if I walked quickly I got so out of breath that I had to stand still for a few minutes before I could proceed again. I tried lots of remedies, and had many bottles of medicine from, doctors, but nothing seemed to do me any good. Every- body said I was in a decline, and if you had seen the lines about my face you would have thought that I was an old woman instead of a young girl. At last my mother read in the Weekly Dispatch" of a ladj who had suffered the same way as I was suffering, and who had been cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. That is about fojttr months ago, and I wish she had seen the ry before. I went to a chemist in Wimbfeecm fmd.. bought a box. Before I had taken tb pilli long the noises in my ears stopped. f gefore ,1. ln»d finished a second box the pains in my "head and back left me suddenly, and I began to-irtand upright. [ still went on with Dr. Williams' pink pills, and when I got to the end of my fourth box I was completely cured. I could run and jump about the same as I did in Australia, and I got quite stout. If you had seen me before I took them you would hardly have known me now." By the side of Miss Olive Clarke stood her mother, a handsome, dark-eyed ladyr who verified every word her daughter uttered, and, indeed, so many are the cures that have been effected by Dr. Williams' pink pills that their reputation is already world-wide. The dis- orders cured by Dr. Williams' pink pilla include impoverishment of the blood, scrotula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption, anajtuia, pale and sallow oomplexion. loss of appetite, palpi- tations, pains in the back, sciatica, neuralgia, early decay, rheumatism paralysis, and loco- motor ataxy; also the ailments from which women alone suffer. The pills are sold in wooden tubes, with pink paper wrapper, bearing the full name, Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, in red. If not readily obtainable, send two shillings and ninepence tor one box, or thirteen and nine for six boxes, to the manufac- turers, Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn-viaduct, London, but when purchasing at a shop swe that you obtain the geuuine pills, which.have cured- thousand?, by asking for Dr. Williams' pink pilla. and refuse to be put off with woxthless imitations that never ttwre-

IBICBNTBNAKV OF YALE I t UNIVERSITY. INTERESTING CEREMONY AT WREXHAM. THE GRANDSON OF A CESTRIAN. I On Sunday an interesting ceremony took place in Wrexham Churchyard, in connection with the celebration of the bi-centenary of Yale University, which commenced on Sunday, and to attend which the vicar of Wrexham, the Rev. Canon Fletcher, has gone to the United States. About a quarter to nine o'clock on Sunday morning there as- sembled near to the tomb of Elihu Yale, which is in front of and close to the beautiful tower of Wrexham Church, now undergoing reparation, the clergy and churchwardens of the parish, the boys of the upper standards of the National Schools, and a number of parishioners who had assembled to take part in or witness the ceremony of placing wreaths of evergreens on the tomb of the founder of Yale College, and over which floated the national flags of England and America, the "stars and stripes" having been kindly lent by Mr. James Boyle, the American Consul at Liverpool. Mr. Job Mason, one of the churchwardens, addressing the assembly, said: We have met this morning on the anniversary of the bi-centenary of Yale College, Newhaven, in the United States, The college was founded in 1701—just 200 years ago-and the next year buildings were erected at Say brook, in Connecticut, but in the year 1716 it was removed to Newhaven, and in recognition of the large benefaction of Elihu Yale, then of Lon- don, the college took its name of Yale College. In the month of June last Mr. Reed, the secre- tary of the University Club, Newhaven, visited Wrexham, and expressed a wish to have a wreath or wreaths placed on the tomb of Elihu Yale on the occasion of this anniversary, and he also stated that he thought that the graduates, of whom there are upwards of 10,000 living at the present time, would be pleased to place some memorial in our grand old church in memory of the founder of their, college, and in response to a cordial invitation from the authorities of Yale our vicar is now taking part in the rejoicings at Newhaven, and I must say that the programme drawn up for the week's festivities is a very interesting one. The library of Yale contains upwards of 117,000 volumes, and the late Mr. Peabody founded a museum there, and endowed it with 150,000 dol- lars. Elihu Yale was, it is believed, a governor of Fort George, now Madras, in India, and when he came to England brought with him large quan- tities of Indian goods, which he sold by auction, and according to Hadyn's "Dictionary of Dates" he was the first auctioneer in England. From Mr. Palmer's "History of the Parish Church of Wrex- ham" we find that Elihu Yale resided at Plas Grono, Esclusham, Wrexham, and that he was the son of David Yale, of Plas Grono, who was the son of Thomas Yale, of Chester. During his resi- dence in this neighbourhood, Elihu Yale gave liberally to our church. In 1707 he erected a gallery across the east end of the nave, whioh took the place of the old rood loft. In 1718 Mr. Yale removed this gallery to the west end of the nave. It is very probable that he also erected the beau- tiful wrought-iron chancel screen at his own cost, and he gave a pulpit and sounding board, a read- ing desk, a clock dial, two fine pictures (one of which still remains), and also did certain repairs to the chancel. The peculiar epitaph on his tomb is well known to you all, and is an object of great interest to visitors to our church. The tomb was restored by the authorities of Yale Col- lege in 1874. May the brotherly and kindly feel- ing which exists between the people of the United States and the British nation be further deepened, and it is by such a gathering as this that the bond of union may be strengthened. In conclusion, may I wish on behalf of all here that Yale College may long flourish? The Rev. Elliott Simpson, one of the curates of Wrexham, then placed a wreath of evergreens, tied with the Yale colours, on the tomb, on be- half of his fellow-graduates and the clergy of Wrexham. Mr. S. G. Allison, one of the churchwardens, placed a similar wreath on the tomb on behalf of the wardens and parishioners of Wrexham, and a third wreath was laid on the tomb by Mr. Thomas Bury, town clerk, on behalf of the Cor- poration and burgesses of the borough. The scholars of the National Schools then sang "The Star-spangled Banner," and the ceremony was complete. The epitaph on Elihu Yale's grave in Wrexham Churchyard is as follows: — Born in America, in Europe bred, In Afric travelled, and in Asia wed, Where long he lived and thrived: at London dead. Much good, some ill, he did; so hope all's even, And that his soul through mercy's gone to Heaven. You that survive and read, take care For this most certain exit to prepare; For only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in the dust. Pennant, in his "History of Wales," writing of Elihu Yale, says: "He had been Governor of Madras, and most probably a very arbitrary one; for he hanged his groom for riding out with his horse for two or three days to take the air without his leave; for which Yale suffered severely in England. He married a Jeromina de Paibia, who with her only son, Charles Yale, lies buried at the Cape of Good Hope." According to Barber's "Connecticut Historical Collections" Yale sent several donations to the Collegiate school in New Haven; JB500 sterling between 1714 and 1718, and a little before his death ordered goods to be sent out to the value of £ 500 more, but they were never received. A correspondent in the "Cheshire Sheaf" some years ago said Yale was High Sheriff of Denbigh in 1704, and by his grandmother was descended from George Bostock, of Holt, who was High Sheriff of Denbigh in 1626. George Bostock, of Holt, married Dorothy, daughter to Hugh Calve- ley, of Lea; Dorothy, eldest daughter, married Thomas Yale, of Yale, county Denbigh. AMERICAN CELEBRATION. The celebrations in connection with the bicentenary of Yale University were brought to a close on Wednesday. Among those on whom the honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred were Mr. J. H. Biles, Professor of Naval Architecture, Glasgow University; Dr. Finlay, Professor of Medicine, Aberdeen University; Professor Hadamard, University of Paris; Professor Waldeyer, Berlin Academy of Science Professor Gregory, University of Leipsic; Mr. Hay, Secretary of State; Archbishop Ireland; Bishop Scherle, of Gothland; Mr. Choate, United States Ambassador to Great Britain; Rear Admiral Sampson; Professor Maartens, University of St. Petersburg; Mr. Williams, Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford; Marquis and President Roosevelt. Among the recipients of the honorary degree of D.D. was the Rev. Dr. Salmond, Free Church College, Aberdeen. » ——————

CONSECRATION OF BISHOPS. I The consecration of the Rev. Hanley Carr Glyn Moule, D.D., as Bishop of Durham; the Rev. John Nathaniel Quirk, as Bishop Suffragan of Sheffield; and the Rev. Edwyn Hoskyns, as Bishop Suffragan of Burnley, on Friday, in York Minster, was unique, in the respect that it was probably the first occasion on which the consecration of three bishops has been wit- nessed in the sacred edifice at one and the same time. As was to be expected, there was a numerous attendance of clergy from various parts of the Northern Province, and the laity also attended in strong force. York was officially represented by the Lord Mayor and i-ther members of the Corporation, and the Mayor of Durham and several of his Corporate colleagues were also present in State. The service took place in the nave, where an altar had been erected before the choir screen, with a temporary Sacrarium, covered with scarlet cloth and raised several feet above the floor level. Upon the altar stood two lighted candles. The service began at eleven o'clock, and a few minutes before that hour the Archbishop and Bishops, with their chaplains and other attendants, left the Deanery, where they bad vested, and walked in procession to the West doors of the Minster. The Prelates present were the Bishops of Ripon, Manchester, Cheater, Carlisle, Wakefield, Liverpool, Sodor and Man, Bath and Wells, Richmond (Suffragan), Bever- ley (Suffragan), Hull (Suffragan), Bathurst, Mauritius, Ballarat, Tasmania, and Moosenee. On arrival at the West doors the procession was received by the Dean, Chapter, and Arch- deacons of York, and the songmen and choristers, and marched up the aisle to the singing of the hymn, The God of Abraham praise." Seats having been taken, the Dean of Ripon began the Office of the Holy Communion. The Bishop of Chester read the Epistle, and the Gospel was read by the Bishop of Manchester. After the Nicene Creed, the Rev. H. E. Fox was conducted to the pulpit, and preached a sermon founded on the words, "I seek not yours, but you" (II. Corinthians, c. xii., v. 14). The sermon concluded, the consecration ceremony was proceeded with. Dr. Moule was presented to the Archbishop for this rite by the Bishops of Ripon and Liverpool; the Bishops of Beverley and Bath and Wells advanced with the Rev. J. N. Quirk, and the Rev. E. Hoskyns was presented by the Bishop of Manchester and the Bishop Suffragan of Blackburn. The! solemu act of consecration followed, when the I Archbishop and the whole of the Bishops present within the Sacrarium laid their hands upon the heads of the elected Bishops, keeping before them- on their knees. The Archbishop afterwards delivered to them the Bible with the customary charge, and the Bishops newly con- secrated took their seats with the other Bishops within the. Sacrarium. The communion service then proceeded to its close. The music of the service was Dykes in F.

TICS BmKiBNHEAJD MAYORALTY.—It is stated that Mr. Arthur Muscbamp Robinson has declined, the invitation of the Conservative members of the Birkenbead Town Council to accept nomination for the Mayoralty of the borough for the ensuing year.

I NANTWICH. r OWL STEALING. At Nantwicb, on ?ton?y, Cornelms PHHp?ton w?s a?ntenc?d to 21 days for stealing a fowl under remarkable circumstances. A youth saw the cockerel pecking in a field and presently fall dead. The prisoner went to the spot, and took up a rat trap, which was baited with bread.

MALPAS. I PARISH COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS special meeting of the Parish Council was held on Tuesday night. Mr. J. Tomlinson presided, and there were also present Messrs. G. S. Morgan, R. Reeves, J. W. Wycherley, J. Eaton, J. Hux- ley and W, Bentley (clerk). The special business of the meeting was to consider the appointment of water inspector, water rent collector and lamp- 1:_L.L_ nTt ¡ iigiiwr. lnere were eight tenders presented and opened, and after careful consideration the lowest tender, that of Thomas Allman, Church-street, was accepted as water inspector and lamplighter. He offered to take the two duties combined for the wage of 18s. per week all the year round. The appointment was subject to the confirmation of the District Council. The clerk to the Parish Council (Mr. W. Bentley) was appointed collector of the water rents at the sum of L5 a year. This appointment is also subject to the confirmation of the District Connell.-It was resolved that during the period the street lamps are lighted the town's supply of water be turned on at 6.30 a.m. instead of 6.0 a.m. «

WREXHAM. DENBIGHSHIRE FALLEN HEROES.—On Friday at a vestry meeting at the Parish Church, Wrexham, under the presidency of the Rev. W. S. Probert, it was resolved to apply for a faculty to place a brass in the church in memory of the members of the 29th Company Imperial Yeomanry (Denbighshire Hussars) who have fallen in the South African war. The cost will be defrayed by the officers of the company. r ALLEGED CHILD MURDER.At the County Police Court, Wrexham, on Monday, Mary Jane Griffiths was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child at Coedpoeth. Mr. Cartwright, Chester, appeared on behalf of the r Public Prosecutor, and Mi-. Stanley D. Edis- bury for the prisoner.—Mr. Cartwright stated that prisoner was a single woman, and gave birth to a child on September 2lst. The body of this child was found shortly afterwards in an outdoor closet covered with ashes. Two medical men who had examined the body were prepared to state that the child had had a separate existence, and theretore whoever deposited the child in the closet must have been guilty of murder. At the coroner's inquiry the evidence proved that the act was done by the prisoner, and a verdict of wilful murder" against her was returned.-Mr. Wynn Evans, coroner, having given evidence as to the prisoner's statement at the inquest, Mrs. Elizabeth Griffiths, mother of the prisoner, stated that for some years after her birth her daughter was subject to fits, and even of recent years had appeared wild at times, especially at the changes of the moon. A number of other witnesses were examined, the medical evidence proving that death was due to suffocation, caused by ashes being placed over the body. Prisoner was committed to the Assizes for trial I

HELSJBY. CHURCH ARMY.—Captain E. Guanine of the Church Army, formerly of Waterloo, who has been appointed to conduct a six-months' mission at Helsby, commenced his duties on Sunday evening, wnen a service was held in the Telegrapn Manufacturing Company's dining-room, kmuly lent for the purpose by the directors. THE BURIAL GROUND.—A special meeting was held on Monday, Mr. J. T. Collier (chair- man) presiding. Ihe Chairman presented a statement of accounts, shewing the expenses already incurred in regard to the burial ground, and suggested that the remaining portion of the loan be applied for.—On the proposition of Mr. James Taylor, it was resolved to do this.-The question of rules and charges was then discussed, and finally it was decided to adopt regulations similar to those in force at Halton, subject to the clerk s ascertaining what the mode of procedure would be in the event of any necessary altera- tions. It was resolved that the top portion of the ground should be consecrated and that first, second and third class graves be adopted as in other burial grounds. It was also decided that the sub committee, to include Mr. G. C. Taylor, should meet and decide what planting should be done. FUNERAL OF MR. J. BRITLAND.—The funeral of Mr. J. Britland, who died as the result of an accident on the previous Thursday, took place at the parish church, Alvanley, on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a gathering of relatives and friends. Deceased, who was 61 years of age, had been for more than 30 years in the employment of the Cheshire Lines Railway Company, and for some time had filled the posi- tion of foreman platelayer. His sad death occasioned regret not only among his fellow em- ployes, but at Manley, where he resided. The service, both in the church and at the graveside, was conducted by the Rev. W. E.

MOLD. I BLEEDING BONIFACE.—On three occasions recently have the tills of Mold hotels been rifled.

Williams presided over the weekly meetincr of the Mold Cosmo- politan Society on Tuesday, when there was a large attendance of members, and a paper entitled Imperialism—true and false" was read by Mr. S. Reeves, of the Fabian Society, Liverpool. In the course of an impassioned speech, which was more idealistic than con- vincing, the speaker caused a sensation by exclaiming ,the Little Eoglander is the only true patriot to-day! A discussion followed, in the course of which Mr. Reeves's address was naturally subjected to severe criticism. SOLICITOR'S DEATH.—The death occurred at Mold, on Sunday, of Mr. George Herbert Bradley, a solicitor who practised in the district for some years. He was at one time clerk to the Mold Urban District Council. The deceased gentleman was a member of the Sir Watkin Lodge of Freemasons, and leaves a widow and one child.

-0 WHITBY. FARM FIRE.—On Fnday morning about halt-past ten a fire was discoperea in the hay loft belonging to Mr. John Evans. The Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company's fire engine was speedily in attendance, and with the help of a number of willing helpers the fire was got under control. Although the stable is situated between two dwelling-houses the tiremen so directed their work that both dwellings were not seriously damaged. The stable was completely gutted. Unfortunately for Mr. Evans the loft was full of hay and other farm produce, and as it was not insured Mr. Evans's loss will be very serious. The building I was insured. -—————— ——————

SANDYCROFT. I CONCERT.—A concert was held in the Assembly Hall on Monday evening in aid of the tunus of the new institute. A good pro- gramme had been compiled by an energetic committee. Songs were rendered by Miss Fonlkes (Buckley), soprano; Miss Ford (Chester), contralto; Mr. Foulkes (Buckley), tenor; Mr. Hopton (Chester), bass. Miss Ada Jones (Chester) gave two recitations in good style. A party of school children, under the supervision of Miss Jones, contributed part songs and tableaux in a pleasing manner. Thanks were accorded the artists for their services, which were given gratis.

TARPORLEY. I SCHOOL REPORTS.—Excellent reports have been received of the examination in scripture which lately took place, in Cotebrook and Utkinton schools. CHURCH NEWS.-We are all very pleased, writes our correspondent, to see the rector (the Rev. W. O. Hughes) back again after his short holiday in the north, and hope that the improve- ment in his health may long continue. On Sunday special sermons were preached in the parish church by the Rev. W. Robinson, of Bradford, on bebalt of the Society tor Pro- moting Christian Knowledge. Last week the fruit and vegetables trom the harvest festival decorations in St. Thomas's, Eaton, and S. Cross, Cotebrook, were sent to the Industrial Schools, Chester.

CREWE. I ARTS AND CRAFTS.—On Monday there was opened in the Co-operative Hall, Crewe, a very fine exhibition of arts and crafts under the auspices of the Crewe and District Art Workers' Association. Contributions were received from many of the art schools and art workers' societies in Cheshire and the Potteries. There were some very unique exhibits, and Mr. Webb, of Crewe railway works, sent two miniature locomotives. Canon Blackburne presided at the opening cere- mony, and there was a crowded attendance. The Mayor said that was the first exhibition of the kind held in Crewe, and he thought it was very credits able to them. It was a step in the right direction. That exhibition came most opportunely. They were on the eve of a great educational movement in the town, and an exhibition like that would give it a powerful stimulus. They had evidence in that room that some of the minds of Crewe were occupied by things somewhat loftier than cricket or football, and he was greatly surprised and pleased with what he had seen. He then declared the exhibition open.

FRODSHAM. I SCRIPTURE REPORTS.—These reports shew that the work done in the girls' school is excellent throughout, and both children and teachers deserve commendation. The Five Crosses Infants' School under its new teacher is doing good work. BIBLE SOCIETY.—The annual meeting in aid of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held on Monday night in the Town Hall. The vicar (the Rev. H. B. Blogg, M.A.) presided, and the Rev. J. Alston, district secretary, delivered an excellent lecture, illustrated by lantern views, on the work of the society. A collection was subsequently taken on behalf of the funds.

Spencer, although suffering from a cold, sang with excellent taste If with all your hearts" (Elijah), Mendelssohn, and "Angels ever bright and fair" (Theodora) Handel, while the several organ pieces were rendered in a masterly style. The programme included Prelude and Fugue in F (Bach), "Aria" and Clarenette Duo" (Mason), How marvellous are thy works" (Haydn), Andante in F (Wely), and "Allegro con fuoco" (Mendelssohn)

SAUGHALL. PRESBYTERIAN CHAPEL.-Special anni- J versary services have been held this week in this chapel, beginning on Sunday and lasting until Wednesday. The offertories were in aid of the chapel funds. The special preachers were the Rev. R. Leigh Roose, of Holt, the Rev. J. Smallwood, of Cymmau, the Rev. E. Griffiths, Connab's Quay, and the Rev. W. Wynne Davies, of Liverpool. CONCERT.—Mention has been made before in these columns of the local nursing fund, by means of which a trained nurse is kept always at hand for the benefit of the villagers. To assist this fund a concert was given in the Town Hall on Monday evening, and the Misses Trelawny, who had got up the affair, must have felt amply rewarded for their efforts when they saw the room packed to its utmost capacity by an appreciative audience. The programme was an excellent one and excel- lently rendered, which makes it difficult to single out items for distinction. Encores were numerous. The Chester Glee Party were in grand form, and their part songs and solos were splendidly de- livered. Miss Roberts rendered her songs in a very effective manner, and the Rev. A. Baxter was also well received. Mr. Frank Lloyd's item, "Chapeaugraphy, or Many Characters under one Hat," was capital, and he was well accompanied on the piano by Mr. W. Howick. A violm solo was also nicely rendered by Miss Thompson, and Mr. Simpson was perfectly at home with his songs. Mr. Hallmark is an old favourite with Saughall people, and his humorous items were vociferously applauded. Mr. H. D. Trelawny presided, and Miss Miny Trelawny shewed herself a proficient and sympathetic accompanist. The programme was as followsViolin solo, Miss Thompson; glee, Chester Glee Party; song, "Boys in red," the Rev. A. Baxter; song, "Ora Pro Nobis," Mr. Simpson; duet, Messrs. Snelson and Rowley; concertina sketch, "Village Wedding," Mr. Hall- mark; song, "Life's Lullaby," Miss Roberts; glee, "Patent Medicine" song, the Rev. A. Bax- glee, "Chapeaugraphy," Mr. F. Lloyd; song, "Be- cause," Mr. Simpson; glee, "Old Armchair" song, "Love's Old Song," Miss Roberts; song, "When the swallows homeward fly," Mr. Snel- son; recitation, "A trip to Cork," Mr. Hallmark; song, "The Old Bell," Mr. Rowley; quartette, "The Lover's Complaint," Glee Party.

TARVIN. I WESLEYAN ANNIVERSARY.—On Sunday on the occasion of the anniversary two sermons were preached in the Wesleyan Chapel by Mr. Wm. Dutton (Norley), a veteran in Wesleyan Methodism. Collections were taken on behalf of the trust funds. GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—On Wed- nesday the members of the G.F.S., comprising the Ashton, Barrow, Duddon, and Kelsall branches, held their quarterly% meeting. Tea was provided in the Public Hall, after which short addresses were delivered. There was a fairly good attendance of the members and associates. PAROCHIAL MISSION.—On Saturday even- ing the introductory service to a great paroohial mission took place at St. Andrew's Church. For some months previously preparations had been in hand leaflets had been sent from house to house at intervals, and the Vicar and his co- workers had been untiring in their efforts to arouse the interest of the people. These efforts have so far met with the success they deserve. The services were, without exception, all well attended, especially those of Sunday. The missioners are the Rev. F. E. Rogers, M.A., of the Church Parochial Mission Society, and Miss C. H. Mayers, of Cambridge. The services on Sunday were many and varied, commencing with celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 a.m. and followed at 10.30 by morning prayer and sermon. In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a children's service was held. This was succeeded at 3 o'clock by a service for men only in the chureli7 and one for women at the same hour in the Manor House Lecture Room. In the even- ing, at 6.30, the church was crowded for the con- cluding services of the day. The addresses delivered were earnest, practical and pointed. Special mission hymn-books were used and the singing of the hymns by the choir and the con- gregation was very hearty. Services are being held each day in the church 3t 8 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. A women's meeting is held each afternoon at the Manor House Lecture Room, and cottage meetings are being held in different parts of the parish. In the evening each successive service is attended by increased congregations, the Nonconformists of all denom- inations shewing their practical sympat "Y attending in large numbers. A great ii pves- sion is being made on the minds of the as is shewn by <he number of requests tor prayer handed in daily.

FARNDON. I DRAWING-ROOM MEETING.-Last week I a drawing-room meeting was held at Kingslee, the residence of Mrs. Norris Roberts, when the Misses Leslie, of Bengal, advocated the cause of the Zenana Missions in connection with the 'Church Missionary Society. There was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen. The same evening the Misses Leslie addressed a meeting to which only women were invited, in Farndon School. The attendance was excellent, and very great interest was felt in the noble cause for which the twin sisters pleaded. The collections at the two meetings amounted to JBll.

ISLE OF MAN WINTKB SKRYICE.—On Tuesday I no little interest was taken by the appearance at I the north end of the stage of a steamer not previously seen in the Isle of Man Steam I Packet Company's berth. The explanation lay in the fact that the company have purchased a I steamer to run the winter service to the island in conjunction with the Snaefell. The vessel is the Douglas. The boat has been running in the South Western Railway Co.s service between Southampton and the Channel Islands, in which run she was well-known and highly esteemed for the measure of comfort obtainable aboard under all conditions of weather. The Douglas will assume her place on the station in a day or two, when she takes the place of the Tynwald. OLD CHESHIRE COUBT.—" Liverpool, near Halton Caatle," would appear a quaint address to a letter nowadays. Such frequently was the superscription of postal missives 150 years ago, but while Liverpool has become a great city, Halton is still a quiet, sleepy hamlet on the fringe of Runcorn, and one important event of I the year is the holding of the Court Leet, which holds sway over a very wide area, stretching to Altrincham and Knutsford on one side and approaching Chester on the other. The annual court was held at Halton Castle on Saturday, and the summons of the high steward, Mr. R. Davies, of Warrington, to yield suit and service was well observed, there being represen- tativea present from the confines of the juris- diction. The ancient formularies were observed. The deputy high steward, Mr. Kirkconnell, swore in the high bailiff, Mr. Joseph Walker, who made proclamations to the inhabitants, and then a jury was empannelled, with Mr. Thos. Wright as foreman, an office he has filled for quarter of a century. Mr. Kirkconnell, in his charge, said the court was of great anti- quity, the first record being in the year 1347, which was in the 21st reign of King Edward III. There was, however, presumptive evidence that the court existed at an earlier date. The rolls of the manor, of which King Edward VII. is Lord, as Duke of Lancaster, were examined and reported upon in the year 1608 by Sir J bn Savage, and now repose in the Record Office, London. Various officers were appointed, but the jury had no causes to try, and the afternoon was spent pleasaBtly by a dinner, presided over by h- in the ricc-ch-iir. i 4 i .i K.\U £ as lfrd of the Macor. ar.-l < net toaste. wark, r n:)ured. j Subsequently the art was d it, due | ar.d soietcn cerernc:. v
